	What about Bert and Ernie?
	They've always been gay.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, November 29th, 2012.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 465.
	This is No Agenda.
	Lost without my love here in the capital of the drone star state, Austin Tejas.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And back in northern Silicon Valley in the Buzzkill Bunker, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill.
	I'm telling you, I'm so, like, I'm out of it.
	You're disorganized.
	Yeah, very disorganized.
	You're discombobulated.
	The thing is discombobulated.
	But yeah, that's exactly what I am.
	Well, I was thinking boob was the bopper.
	Yeah, that's exactly what I am.
	Miss Mickey is still in...
	She's in Europe, in Amsterdam.
	And she was in...
	So she's living it up in Amsterdam where you're freezing to death in Austin.
	You know, it's not warm.
	Although two days ago, all of a sudden, you know, it goes to like 79, 80, which I kind of like.
	Yeah, well, you're in the right place.
	You're in the right town.
	The right state.
	Are you not having some incredible, horrible, rainy weather?
	Is California not under some global warming, Muson or something?
	What's going on up there?
	This is what I've been told.
	But it's like the rain in the Pacific Northwest that last week when I was up there you were asking about.
	It wasn't raining.
	It's not raining here.
	Is it windy?
	Is it windy at least?
	Tell me it's windy.
	No, it's calm actually.
	It's funny because I see the news.
	The news is like, oh, California, it's crazy.
	It's all this wind.
	Well, supposedly, okay, here's the...
	Yeah, well, my wife said that we're going to be, well, a river has got 12 inches.
	And I said, okay.
	So it rained yesterday morning.
	Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
	A river, a river 12 inches.
	What is me saying?
	What does she mean?
	She said there's going to be 12 inches of rain.
	Oh, oh, oh.
	Which is bogus.
	I mean, we've never had 12 inches of rain in a million years.
	So yesterday morning it rained until...
	That's expected for California.
	It's a desert state.
	Yeah.
	So we had...
	It is.
	Yes, I know it is.
	If it wasn't for the marine layer, we'd probably all be dead.
	Anyway, so we had some rain in the morning yesterday, and it ended at noon, and it hasn't rained since.
	At all.
	Not a drop.
	Okay.
	Well, so there's...
	What I saw this morning on the news is, oh, big high winds and everything.
	And all of this, of course, is related to global warming.
	You know, we're all going to die.
	Oh, yeah.
	The global warming thing is going to die.
	Making our lives miserable.
	Hey, check out what's going on in Russia.
	The global warming...
	It's been a big day in Moscow as well.
	Just a quick chance to look at these pictures because this is the heaviest November snowfall in 50 years took place in the course of the last few hours.
	More on the website, bbc.com slash news.
	Hey, hey, hey.
	Heaviest snow ever in Moscow.
	Hey, weather is not climate.
	No, no, no.
	That is so 2011, my friend.
	Weather is...
	This is what you can expect.
	And here's the explanation, as I understand.
	And I just want to reiterate, because, of course, you know, 10 years ago, the prediction was...
	I'm sorry, the science was children would never know what snow looked like.
	And, of course, now the United Kingdoms of Gitmo Nation is getting flooded.
	And this is all because of the melting ice.
	And it's like leaving the refrigerator door of the world, leaving that open up there, up there in the Arctic.
	And that's why it's getting cold.
	Whereas...
	And I say this openly here.
	I say, dude, when they tell you it's going to get hot, just expect the opposite.
	And there you go.
	It's cold everywhere.
	It's a little chilly here, but it's not bad.
	It's pretty typical of our weather.
	I mean, people forget.
	I mean, I can't tell you how many people I know that move to California and then their first July in the San Francisco Bay Area, they go, holy crap, this is freezing.
	And then, I swear to God, the same people the next year say the same thing as if it's a shock, then they do it again.
	It's so cold.
	They never seem to realize that it's this way all the time.
	We do have weather events, and they've been going on since I was a kid.
	And before then, if you read old newspapers, there's weather events that are just as weird as the ones we have today.
	But now, anything that's not what it was the day before is global warming.
	Yeah, well, it's...
	I'm subscribing to the Ice Age guys.
	I'm with you, and this is what I'm saying.
	The Ice Age guys, many of them are the same guys who push global warming.
	A number of them stayed with the Ice Age theory.
	I'm staying, and I'm with them.
	And this was in the 70s, which I kind of remember.
	I mean, I don't remember it being, well, we didn't have as much media back then, but I certainly remember going like, in school, like, wow, now we're going to have the Wooly Mammoth again?
	This is like, I don't know.
	The Wooly Mammoth.
	But they weren't forcing us to go home and yell at our parents for...
	The extent of being green back in the day was we'd collect cans.
	I think that was the only thing.
	Oh yeah, they used to collect cans.
	Remember there would be a big contest at school as to which classroom had the most cans.
	And then there would be a weigh-in and we'd be like, yay!
	We'd get some kind of prize.
	That was it.
	And don't litter.
	Don't litter.
	Litterbug.
	Yeah, litter bug.
	See, we changed in a couple of decades from litter bug to, you're gonna die!
	It used to be like, my grandmother used to get out of the car.
	If she saw someone throw a piece of gum wrapper out of the window, she'd hold up traffic at the stoplight to go and pick up the piece of paper, knock on the person's window and say, excuse me, I just picked up your litter.
	Can you imagine someone doing that today?
	They get shot.
	Exactly.
	It's like, oh yeah, really?
	Get you out of here.
	What happened to the days, John?
	I'm getting old.
	You know, it's too much being on the ham radios.
	I'm talking to too many old random dudes.
	You're talking to all the coots.
	This is actually very interesting.
	The geezers on the ham.
	The geezers.
	There are geezers around.
	Yeah, most of them are on the AM bands.
	Well, that's where I am now.
	But a lot of the young guys who basically got their ham license found out there was a bunch of old dudes on this thing.
	It's like, you're in the club of old dudes.
	And they packed it up.
	A lot of these guys have great stories.
	Well, it's funny you mention that, because we, after each live show, we do an in-the-morning net on the Noah Jenner Reflector 3373.
	And there is a benefit to having some old dudes around, because we were talking about...
	And by the way, and this is what I'm convinced that I can change ham radio.
	Because what happened is, you know, you got this great resource, but no one has anything to talk about.
	So all they do is like, yeah, I got this rig.
	Yeah, I've been licensed since 1923.
	I've got a dipole.
	That's all that it is.
	I know lots of antenna talk.
	No, no, that's all that it is.
	It's like, you're 559 here.
	It's like, who gives a crap?
	There's no intelligent conversation because these people...
	Who are intelligent forgot to talk about things that matter instead of, literally, my rig, the weather, my age when I was licensed.
	Thanks for the QSO, buddy.
	This is a ridiculous waste.
	So we've got a lot of smart people who are very knowledgeable.
	And on the In the Morning net that we did, which is on our reflector there, We got information that Dwight Eisenhower also did two inaugural ceremonies.
	And this is about the to Obama theory that we have, that is your theory, as he was initially inaugurated, and because of some supposed flub, they had another secret inauguration without press later.
	And now, the inauguration falls on a Sunday, and according to the Constitution, on the 20th day at noon, the new president shall be inaugurated.
	But because it's a Sunday, apparently, they're going to do the inauguration on Sunday and then have the public inauguration on Monday.
	And the only reasons we can think of are the NFC Championship game, which, by the way, looks like it's going to be Chicago.
	Oh, yeah, the fix is in.
	Right?
	Luckily, Chicago, yeah, they can't sustain, so that's a good thing.
	But we're pretty convinced that this is in order to fully license both Obamas, you know, to have both of them.
	Okay, so one of our producers, and I'm not sure I want you to mention his name, but one of our producers came up with another thesis, and I said, ah!
	And he credited, of course, to no agenda thinking.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	There's one Obama, but he can't officially swear allegiance with his hand on a Bible.
	It has to be a Koran because he's a Muslim.
	I didn't like that one.
	I saw that and I'm like, nah, nah.
	That's bullcrap.
	I thought it was hilarious.
	Nah, nah, nah, nah.
	Well, it's all bullcrap.
	What is the point?
	So let's get back to Eisenhower.
	Why did he do two?
	Well, there is the only reason that we could find, and so we were like doing some book of knowledge stuff, was the Blue Laws, which the Blue Laws is something very interesting, basically an anti-constitutional law Or several laws that I think some states may still have.
	Not anti-constitutional, unconstitutional.
	I think Texas is one of them.
	Texas, you can't sell booze in some areas without a little permit, and you can't do it on Sunday.
	Blue laws means you can't sell alcohol or do certain things on Sunday.
	Well, if you look at the Book of Knowledge, it was...
	Pretty much the prohibition of anything, but commerce, grocery stores.
	Right.
	And I'm trying to see, I think that, okay, here are, Texas, for example, blue laws prohibited.
	This is past tense.
	Selling housewares such as pots and pans.
	That was up until 1985, interestingly enough.
	Idiotic.
	Yeah, but Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma, New Jersey.
	Lots of states had blue laws.
	So I don't think it's the blue laws.
	But if you go back to Eisenhower, this was during the height of all kinds of tension in the world.
	Eisenhower, it was known that he had multiple doubles.
	Because he was also the supreme commander during the war.
	So the thesis here is that they also inaugurated a double of Eisenhower.
	That could be.
	So I don't think we're far off.
	It would make sense that he'd have a bunch of doubles.
	Yeah, well, it was well known that he had a bunch of doubles.
	So I don't think that it's too crazy to think that there are literally two Obamas.
	Our basic thesis, yeah.
	And why wouldn't there be?
	Because they are giving no reason.
	Although I see on several websites now, you know, because if you look at the Constitution, that's all it says.
	It says Sunday the 20th of January at noon.
	It doesn't say anything about Sundays.
	But now people are saying, according to the Constitution, you know, if it's a Sunday, then they do the ceremony on Sunday, and then the public ceremony, that's not in the Constitution.
	It's not in the Constitution.
	No, but it's a rewritten Constitution by some PR agency?
	Yeah.
	Hill and Knowlton Constitution?
	Yeah, that would be the one.
	That would be the one.
	So we are going into term two of the Obama nation, which is...
	I didn't see his show today.
	I must have missed it.
	His little YouTube show.
	I did catch other things that were pretty amazing.
	Oh, I'm sure, by the way, you were watching the Soul Train Awards on, I think it was Friday?
	Oh, I must have missed it.
	I was traveling.
	You missed the Soul Train Awards.
	I didn't even know there were such an award, actually, to be honest about it.
	Well, yeah.
	Even though Dawn Cornelius passed away, the franchise still exists.
	And Jamie Foxx was hosting the show.
	And he came out and kicked off the show with something pretty interesting.
	First of all, give an honor to God and our Lord and Savior, Barack Obama!
	Yeah, I saw that.
	Barack Obama!
	Wow.
	Lord, save your Barack Obama.
	I mean, at first I was like, did he do this out of context?
	No.
	He really kind of meant that.
	Wow.
	All right, then.
	There's so much black-white stuff going on now.
	It's really freaking me out.
	I thought we were beyond this.
	No.
	But if now the Democrats realize that there's anything, you know, there's a black person involved, you just throw the race card out there and make the blacks come out and defend them and all the rest of it.
	Well, no, there's like a war on white dudes.
	It's even worse.
	I guess for some reason now there's...
	The war on white dudes has been going on since the 60s.
	But now it's really ratcheting up.
	In fact, I watch news.
	I get the biggest kick out of the white dudes who are on the anti-white dude side.
	That's what I'm talking about.
	It's white dudes saying, you white dudes are screwing everything up.
	Wait a minute, you're a white dude.
	What are you talking about?
	I feel really bad, but being a white dude now is like, basically, you shouldn't walk the street.
	If you're an old white dude, you're a douchebag.
	Well, it's even worse when you're an old white dude.
	Yeah, no, but that's what I'm saying.
	It's like, you're old.
	Yeah, because you're old.
	So there's ageism and racism.
	Well, here, here, here.
	Listen.
	And sexism.
	Record number of women in Congress.
	Got to give them a shameless plug.
	I hope it brings a little bit of sanity to the process.
	By the way, though, all of the committee chairs in the House Republican Conference.
	White men.
	All white men.
	Very representative.
	Picture of the parties.
	Oh, white men!
	Oh, white men!
	Mad Cow also did it.
	She did a...
	The one thing that Republicans control in Washington is the House of Representatives, right?
	They have a majority there.
	And today the Republicans decided who they are putting in charge of all their committees in the House.
	Can she talk any faster?
	Yeah, probably.
	This guy will head the Agriculture Committee.
	It's this guy for appropriations.
	It is this guy for armed services.
	It will be this familiar fellow for budget.
	I love how she did this.
	She talks down to her audience so much.
	Listen to this.
	The Republicans have picked and announced who is going to run all their committees in the House.
	In other words, they have put in charge everyone they have the power to put in charge of everything they are in charge of.
	And here they are.
	She's trying to make a point.
	Wait a minute, hold on a second.
	They put in charge, they're in charge because they're the majority party, and they put people in charge of the various committees based on seniority.
	No, no, no.
	So you take your top seniority people and then you give them different positions.
	No, it's based on Whitey.
	You're wrong.
	It's based on Whitey.
	It's not based on Whitey.
	If there's a bunch of old black women, they'd be in charge of something too.
	No, it's based on Whitey.
	This is very obvious because Rachel Maddow is telling me it's based on Whitey.
	Listen.
	They are in charge of.
	And here they are.
	Did you notice anything about their selections?
	Here, here's the whole group of who the Republicans picked to run their committees.
	They picked these 19 guys.
	What?
	Notice anything?
	And they're dudes!
	So yeah, this is what you can clip and save for the next time someone in the Beltway tells you how seriously the Republican Party is taking its diversity problem this year.
	They don't have any choice.
	It's done on seniority.
	There's nobody old enough or been re-elected enough.
	They're not going to put him in some position over somebody with seniority.
	That's all it is.
	Why is no one saying this?
	Because nobody...
	Well, I think it's because your thesis is correct.
	It's just a hatred, a race hatred against white people who are...
	Essentially, anybody that's got one of those jobs is stuck to that...
	That office, for a long time, they've gotten re-elected and re-elected, and they haven't moved.
	There may be something wrong with that, but that's a different issue, which is, in other words, get the incumbents out.
	That's a different issue than putting somebody who deserves that position because they've been there and they have seniority.
	They're supposed to get that job.
	But is that the rule?
	Give me a break.
	This is a racist...
	A creep.
	This woman is a creep.
	Wait, let's do Christmas.
	And by the way, I had a clip from a couple weeks ago.
	We didn't use it, but I listened to, it was an interview with Martin Kalb and the guy who used to be Nightline, the big head, redhead, the guy, the big, I can't think of his name for some reason.
	Anyway, he went on and on, a very famous anchor, went on and on about how he thought it would be great if Rachel Maddow became a network anchor.
	I guess he likes fast-talking lesbians, but just beyond me.
	Listen to Chris Matthews.
	Here is an actual old white dude crapping on old white dudes.
	And as if that's some kind of explanation, some kind of explanation for the weird phenomenon of the fact that the Republicans did win.
	There was this extraterrestrial force out there of African Americans and Hispanics.
	Let me take this.
	You're Chris Matthews.
	You're an old white dude.
	You've got a rag on old white dudes.
	What is the best way to do that?
	How do you close the conversation forever?
	I have no idea, but I'm sure it's a gem.
	Well, duh!
	That's the country!
	That is the United States!
	This is no bearing on the Republican Party, and these references are always dangerous, but I'll take it anyway.
	The last guy to refer to the black auxiliary was Hitler.
	Yay!
	There we go!
	There we go!
	Old white dudes are Hitler!
	And he's the worst pasty-faced white guy ever.
	But I can't believe he pulled the Hitler card.
	I mean, come on.
	That's a good one.
	Pull the Hitler card out of the blue.
	Okay, I just want you to know, this is racism, this is ageism, and it's dudism.
	I've got information, man.
	Sexism, that's sexism.
	New shit has come to life.
	Sexism, that's right.
	It's all isms.
	It's crazy.
	Sexism, racism, and ageism.
	And dudism.
	Dudes.
	It's a war on dudes.
	It is.
	It is a war on dudes.
	It's crazy.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, let's...
	I don't think anybody takes it too seriously.
	Except these idiots.
	Well, it's not about this...
	You know what it is, John?
	It's not about the serious nature.
	It's if you keep...
	If you just keep cracking...
	Yeah, you keep pounding and pounding and pounding and pounding.
	Chipping away.
	Let me give you a great example of how the mainstream media, which is, last time I checked, not what we are, how they slip things in that get into your mind.
	And they are, of course, the mainstream media doesn't question them themselves.
	But this is the programming that is going on.
	So right now we have, if you're old and white and a dude, this is not good.
	You are not the future.
	You're on the wrong side of history, my friend.
	Now, listen to this.
	You tell me what is said in this 17-second clip that is damaging to your mental health.
	The state that the president has, and I think he said this just after the election, his mandate is to protect the middle class and help people enter and stay in the middle class.
	So how do we do that?
	We have to make sure that Medicare is there in the future.
	Now, did you catch it?
	No, I didn't.
	Play it again, because I'll listen.
	Now that I have a...
	I know maybe what to listen for.
	Try it again.
	Give me another one.
	I think he said this just after the election.
	His mandate is to protect the middle class and help people enter and stay in the middle class.
	So how do we do that?
	We have to make sure...
	This is the new American dream, John.
	Yeah, no, okay, here's what it was.
	He says, by the way, his mandate was not to protect the middle class.
	Where did that come from?
	Well, this is part of the programming of your mind.
	See, I can vote for Obama, and he's, oh, what's it say underneath his name?
	To protect the middle class.
	This is a bumper sticker.
	And then the evil part of it was to get them into the middle class and make them stay there.
	Exactly.
	So there's no upward mobility.
	Exactly, thank you.
	Which is, again, the just-getting-by theme that they've been promoting.
	Yes, yes.
	And by the way, there was actually, now I'm going to, you know, you always get mad when I do this, but I did hear an interesting point made by, of all people, Rush Limbaugh.
	Yeah, I don't get mad.
	It's just like, who gives a crap?
	I know, but he said, believe me, I sent first some of his deconstructions.
	Why don't you do this?
	Then just make your point.
	I can steal it.
	It's much easier.
	I'll steal it from now on.
	So the point was, is that, is that, uh, uh, But Buffett and his bullcrap, you know, I can be taxed.
	He made the point that, you know, to tax people more and create income equality doesn't hurt the super wealthy.
	It actually keeps people from getting out of the middle class.
	It keeps them from going up the ladder.
	And Buffett and these guys don't want that.
	These rich Democrats, most of the super wealthy in this country, by the way, are Democrats.
	And so they just assume, yeah, I take some more taxes, no big deal.
	But the thing they'd never bring up, and although Limbaugh says it's never brought up, I've found some examples of it having been brought up, and I think it's something to bring up, which is these guys would just, they start shaking, which is a wealth tax.
	If you're going to play this game, I mean, this is what, like, the cap-and-trade thing, you know, you're going to play the cap-and-trade game.
	Once you play it right, and if you really believe in global warming, just cap, no trade.
	Before you move back there, let me play you a little clip of Warren Buffett talking about this.
	Because, of course, so once again, let me just go back and we just play this for those of you who missed it.
	I want you to hear it again.
	This is the American dream is get in the middle class and stay there, slave.
	This is very important.
	This is completely contrary to what the American dream really is.
	Is the president middle class?
	No.
	He makes it $250,000.
	Actually, I think it's been increased to $275,000.
	The president of the United States is not middle class.
	He's outside of the middle class.
	This is not the American dream.
	We're supposed to come to this country as immigrants and say, hey, I can be that guy.
	I can be the richest man in America.
	I can be the guy who owns the store on the corner.
	I can be whatever I want to be.
	It's not just get in the middle class and stay there, you slave.
	Let me just play that one more time and then I'll play you the Buffett thing.
	The mandate that the president has, and I think he said this just after the election, his mandate is to protect the middle class and help people enter and stay in the middle class.
	So this is for you to remember.
	This is the media programming your brain.
	Now, Warren Buffett realizes that the taxes...
	It's not going to change anything.
	If you really just look at the numbers, we're just spending too much.
	But we can't stop the spending because the economy collapses because we're spending it on bomb-making stuff, which we're really good at, and that's where all the money goes.
	That's what most of the people make their money off of in America.
	But that's not the point.
	The point is, let's give these stupid slaves something to feel good about, and Warren Buffett will just put it in your face and tell it to your face.
	Bottom line, would raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans have a chilling effect on hiring in this country?
	No, no.
	And I think it would have a great effect in terms of the morale of the middle class who have seen themselves paying high payroll taxes, income taxes, and then they've watched guys like me end up paying a rate that's below that, you know, paid by the people in my office.
	So there it is.
	It's always making you feel good.
	It's like just a little, little thing to make the slaves feel good.
	The morale.
	You feel good.
	Yeah, I got that rich bastard.
	This is wrong.
	This is so incredibly wrong.
	The guy is really something that's for sure.
	He's a piece of work, as they like to say.
	In the 18th of this month, an op-ed, Daniel Altman wrote, to reduce inequality wealth tax, not income tax.
	He had this to say, which I thought was kind of interesting.
	American household wealth totaled more than $58 trillion in 2010 and a flat wealth tax of just 1.5% financial assets and other wealth like housing, cars, and business ownership would have been more than enough to replace all the revenue of the income, estate, and gift taxes which amounted to about $833 billion after refunds.
	So let's take a look at this as an idea.
	You and I and everybody that is...
	Everyone within the sound of our voice.
	Everyone within the sound of our voice.
	Imagine that your total tax burden would be 1.5% of everything you own, period.
	And compare that, which much of it is debted, by the way.
	In other words, if you have a $500,000 house and you...
	Put $200,000 on it.
	You'd have to pay taxes on the part you own, which would be $300,000.
	But anyway, compare that to what you're going to have to pay, which is 30% and more of your income, and see how that balances out.
	And you'll find that the wealth tax for most people It would probably be lower, except if you're way up there and you've got houses like John McCain, seven houses, fleets of cars, or people with private jets.
	I mean, these guys...
	Now I would like to hear what Buffett would say if you threw this one at him, because he can say, oh, I want my taxes increased.
	He doesn't have any taxable income.
	The guy's a phony.
	He's like Bill Gates for a while.
	Or Steve Jobs.
	Paying himself a dollar a year.
	Plus stock.
	That's bull crap.
	I think you should go out there as a meme just to scare these guys.
	Because somebody who's a billionaire, 1.5% of a billion dollars is quite a bit of money.
	I don't think they'll care.
	All that stuff's rigged.
	All that stuff's rigged.
	It's all rigged.
	Oh, it's all rigged.
	No, I'm just saying you could actually make it happen.
	Non-rigged.
	Yeah, but it's not.
	It's not going to happen because the guys in...
	Duh!
	Of course it's not going to happen.
	These rich guys won't let it happen.
	Okay, this is my point.
	See, when you bring up the Rush Limbaugh thing, then you start to...
	Then it's like the Rush Limbaugh show.
	No, no, no.
	He didn't go this far.
	Rush Limbaugh's got too much money to want something like that.
	This is not interesting.
	All I'm trying to point out is...
	It's interesting to me.
	Yes.
	The point I'm trying to make...
	How much money are you hiding, anyway?
	Ooh, yes.
	Hold on a second.
	Oh, yeah!
	There you go.
	You don't have to pay any taxes.
	Now, the only thing I want to point out is be wary of much bigger than taxes schmacks.
	It gives a crap.
	Much bigger than that is the programming to change the populace of the popular thinking and the meme of the American dream.
	This, to me, is the problem.
	This is way bigger than anything else.
	That you're supposed to be mediocre.
	Isn't that what middle class means?
	Be mediocre.
	Penn State...
	It has a sales video.
	In case you didn't know, in the United States of Gitmo Nation, everyone's got to go to college.
	This is another one of the president's memes.
	You've all got to go to college because everyone deserves a fair shot.
	And of course, there are going to be no jobs for you, but that is kind of different.
	Penn State, which is basically commercial, right?
	They charge a lot of money, don't they?
	Even the state school, Penn State, they charge a lot of money.
	This is funny.
	All the schools, the public schools, which used to be free, essentially, because there were public schools paid for by the taxpayers to educate the masses, they all started seeing what was going on with this loan scam, which is one of the worst things that has ever been propagated on this poor nation.
	And the high costs of going to a private school and the fact that some people would just take out a student loan and go to the private.
	They just said, hey, you know, why don't we charge the same amount of money and make some serious dough here?
	Exactly.
	And screw the kids.
	And on top of that...
	So, yes, it costs you the same to go to Penn State, isn't it?
	Right.
	And on top of that, there's the book scam, which I just want to mention.
	It's an aside.
	The book scam is the worst.
	Let me tell you what happened.
	I was at the hairdresser.
	At the barber shop.
	At the hairdresser.
	At the coiffure.
	At the coiffures.
	And one of the girls who works there, because, you know, it's a chick salon.
	Did they do your toes?
	Shut up.
	It's a chick salon.
	It's on South Congress.
	It's 50 bucks.
	It's a really expensive coiffure.
	And one of the girls who works there says, oh, you were in one of my school books.
	She's studying communications.
	I'm like, oh, really?
	She said, yeah, with podcasting.
	I'm like, oh, that's pretty cool.
	Which book is it?
	So I write down the book.
	I'm like, I'll order the book on Amazon.
	It's cool.
	It's being taught in schools.
	But it was a textbook.
	$240 for a book.
	For a book.
	And I saw her four weeks later, five weeks later.
	How often do you have your hair done?
	I have to do it every five weeks.
	My hair grows really quick.
	And so I say, hey man, I didn't order the book, maybe I could just get a copy of your page because it's $240.
	She says, oh yeah, oh yeah.
	And by the way, I had to have the right version because she was going to rent one.
	You can rent books now, apparently, for a fraction of the cost.
	She said, and I was going to rent one that was much cheaper, like $80, but I couldn't use that one because it was the wrong version.
	This scam is so deep.
	Now, anyway, on to the Penn State commercial.
	You think you go to Penn State to get a degree in...
	And go have a, what is it, a white collar job.
	We'll see some days that the manufacturing folks are begging us for students.
	We've had more calls from companies than we've had in years.
	While the national unemployment rate remains high, ironically so does the demand for steel manufacturing professionals.
	That acute need is spelled at Pennsylvania College of Technology.
	Despite whatever you might think about the economy, our students typically had multiple offers and opportunities with major companies all across the United States.
	In manufacturing, they're showing people operating a touchscreen on a manufacturing line, John.
	Which apparently you have to go to university now to understand how to operate that.
	So the idea is you spend...
	Do I push this?
	I'm telling you.
	It gets better because not only do they say, hey, demand is high.
	You've got to come to our school.
	Demand is crazy.
	We don't even have enough students to give to these people.
	And even during the summer, we had manufacturers coming to us asking for our students, and we really couldn't supply anyone because they were already well-placed.
	And the students have great opportunities.
	They don't have to settle for one job.
	They can sometimes name their price and they can go back and forth and choose a job that really fits them.
	These are very sustainable jobs and very good incomes.
	I believe the range ran in the spring roughly minimum $40,000 a year to about $75,000 in that range.
	I gotta go get me some education!
	It's bullcrap anyway.
	It's bullcrap.
	It's a sales video.
	It's just a lie.
	It's a sales video.
	But I was amazed.
	It's okay if you don't go to college.
	It's really okay.
	I mean, we used to have a nation of people who would make stuff.
	We don't have that anymore.
	We all have to be middle class, get in there.
	It's like my dad had a theory once, the customer marketing method.
	It's like a pyramid.
	Go figure, my dad and pyramids, all seeing eye.
	It was like, get them in, move them up.
	And this is the same concept.
	It's like, get them in, move them up, and keep them there.
	Keep them right there in the middle bit, where everything is controlled.
	I find it peculiar.
	Well, besides the fact that it's still basically a lie, there's also some promotion in there for some, I guess, some technology school.
	This is the big thing going on right now.
	These DeVries and all these other guys are getting all the attention.
	Can't we do that?
	We've looked at this, but you have to be accredited, right?
	That's the whole problem.
	You don't have to be accredited?
	No, that depends on what accreditation.
	There are different kinds of accreditation.
	If you want to be the University of California at Berkeley, also known as CIA West, if you want to be that, you have to be part of this large accreditation system that all the exclusive colleges have.
	And yeah, that's special.
	And that, we're not getting that.
	Nobody's getting that.
	Unless you've been around and you've got some chops.
	No, but there's all these other secondary, third-rate things that, of course, the top guys would never accept a credit from any of these other ones.
	But that's besides the point if you're doing vocational stuff.
	So we could have podcasting school.
	Podcasting school.
	The Adam Curry podcasting school.
	With Adam Curry as the chief principal.
	And special lecturer, John C. Dvorak.
	Hello, kids.
	Yeah, we can have the Adam Curry podcast in the school, and of course, we can sell a fact.
	We should probably just do that and stop doing the show.
	Thank you!
	Thank you.
	I do have a great offer, though, that was sent to me from our friends at the Bureau.
	We have friends at the agency, friends at the Bureau.
	This is from the Bureau.
	I want to stop you for a second.
	We got some more challenge coins from some State Department ones.
	Oh.
	Yes.
	Literally from the State Department.
	Do we have...
	These are from the embassies in Burma.
	Oh.
	They're good ones.
	Cool.
	Love it.
	So we have a lot of challenge coins from all over the place.
	And I was talking to JC about this and he says the challenge coins, because I said, where's our NSA challenge coins?
	And he says that the challenge coin stems from the military, and the only reason we're getting them from the CIA and people like that is because it's essentially part of the military.
	And it stems from the military.
	So the question remains is that I guess there is no NSA challenge coin.
	Maybe we should...
	Get off the duffs.
	Well, I think the reason why we get challenge coins from...
	So we have them from FBI, CIA... I don't have an FBI one.
	Oh, I have FBI Dallas.
	Yeah.
	That's because they have gift shops.
	Basically, that's why.
	Because, you know, it's easy for people to just pick one up in the FBI gift shop.
	But the FBI has an offer for you to join FBI's cyber team and be the best at what you do.
	Today's FBI. It's for you.
	Listen.
	Today's FBI is dedicated to preventing and investigating the most sophisticated computer threats around the globe.
	Your skills may thwart illegal cyber activities that incite violent attacks, advance crime, target national security and terrorism, and threaten the nation's critical infrastructure.
	Discover why now, more than ever, an FBI cyber career is for you.
	You get an internship.
	And all you need is to be, here, internship requirements, enrolled full-time in an accredited school or university.
	That could be the Adam Curry School of Podcasting.
	Or you're currently a college junior, senior, or graduate.
	You have a 3.0 GPA. And, of course, they'd like to take preferred degrees and experiences for listed cyber careers include but are not limited to.
	Are you ready?
	Cyber investigations, computer science, computer forensics, information assurance, information technology, ethical hacking, cyber security.
	What?
	Ethical hacking?
	It says ethical hacking.
	You need to have experience.
	Preferred degree in ethical hacking.
	Ethical hacking.
	I need to shut up.
	95% of our audience is applying as we speak.
	Ethical hacking.
	FBIjobs.gov.
	FBIjobs.gov slash cybercareers.
	They're hiring!
	Yeah, this is where it's going, man.
	I got a cryptic note from one of our bureau friends about the El Ron incident, and that apparently was some hacking thing that has never been spoken about, but...
	I hate it when these guys do this.
	They're like, hey, you should ask that buddy about this.
	Yeah, these guys.
	Like, what am I? What are you, the middle man?
	Why don't you just tell me?
	Yeah.
	E-L-R-O-N, the Elron incident.
	I have no idea what it means.
	I don't know.
	Did you look it up on the book of knowledge?
	Yeah, no, no, no.
	He assured me.
	The note said...
	It's not in the book of knowledge.
	Ask this guy about the L-Rate.
	It's like they're trying to outdo each other.
	Who's more real?
	Who's a more real fed?
	I have a...
	I got an anecdote from somebody.
	The guy says during the Nixon era, he lived in Washington, D.C., and he lived down the street from somebody, I guess, who was in one of the agencies.
	And he says that the whole Watergate break-in Yeah.
	Nobody's ever really gotten the story correct.
	It was Nixon.
	The Democrats had a picture of Nixon in a compromised position with an underage teenage hooker.
	Yes!
	I believe it.
	Right away.
	I'm in.
	I'm done.
	Okay, let's write it up.
	And they had to get the roll of film back.
	This sounds totally, totally right.
	And they accomplished it and destroyed it.
	And so that's why it never came up.
	I so believe this.
	I so, so, so believe this.
	You know that this happened to me once?
	What?
	Did I tell you the story where this happened to me?
	This exact same thing.
	My own Watergate.
	Should I tell you the story?
	Yeah.
	So I just started at the television.
	I was 19.
	I was on television in Holland.
	And I was like super, super.
	There was only two stations.
	So it was like everyone knew me.
	And I went to go interview the Rolling Stones.
	So we're talking, when was I 19, John?
	This is 1983, I think, 84?
	I don't know.
	So I go to interview the Rolling Stones in London.
	And we're in London.
	It's like one of these shoots where they're all like rolling around and it's hard to get them into the room and everyone's awake.
	And we're talking tape, right?
	We're talking analog.
	We're talking clapboards.
	You know, this is way back in the day.
	Please, you know, forget that you're in 2012.
	So finally, you know, the guys stumble in.
	It was Keith and Woody.
	They fall into the room.
	Like, oh, hold on a second.
	They go in the bathroom.
	They're snorting coke off his Bowie knife.
	You know, like, ah, so they finally sit down.
	You know, we do the interview.
	It was great because they were completely hammered.
	And then my producer says, oh, man, you know, let's take a picture because we can get this on the front page of the newspaper that you did an interview with and great promotion for the show.
	And no one had a camera.
	Can you imagine?
	This is 1984.
	No one had brought a camera, but I had one of these newfangled Kodak disc cameras in my briefcase.
	Remember those?
	The Kodak disc?
	Yep, yep.
	They had a disc.
	Right.
	So I say, oh, I've got the Kodak disc, which, by the way, crappy photos.
	They took really crap photos.
	Yeah, they were little bitty negatives or dinky.
	Yeah, like a viewmaster.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So they take a picture.
	And we go back, and so we have a service, and the service is the Dutch Broadcasting Corporation, where they would actually take, it's called the Press Bureau, you would give them your film and they would have it developed, and then they'd send it out to the newspapers, etc.
	So I gave the disc to my producer.
	And at the time, I was dating one of the...
	Well, she had just started...
	I'm already seeing where this is headed.
	She had just started to...
	She was an announcer on television.
	They had these announcers in between the...
	It's very much like the BBC does with Voice.
	In Holland, they would have...
	An announcer, and she would sit there and say, oh, coming up next we have this show, and this show after that, and then she would go away, and then she'd come in, like kind of a disc jockey of television shows, and really pretty girl, Caroline Tensa, everyone in Holland knows her.
	And then all of a sudden I'm like, oh crap, man.
	I took pictures of her with the disc camera and they're like not flattering.
	They have naked pictures.
	And so we broke into the press bureau that night to retrieve the disc and then have it develop somewhere else where we could actually get rid of the prints.
	The evidence.
	The evidence.
	And I still have these pictures, which is the best part.
	I've carried them with me through two marriages.
	What?
	Yeah.
	What a pervert.
	But these things do happen, and I totally believe that.
	How can we find out more about Nixon?
	This is great.
	Well, I don't know.
	I think all the guys involved with that, I don't know how many of the burglars would have been privy to the real target.
	I think probably that creepy guy that was always claiming to be all kinds of super spy that used to light his hand on fire.
	What is his name?
	G. Gordon Liddy would know.
	But then you can't trust what he says.
	No.
	I don't know.
	I don't think it's verifiable.
	I love it, though.
	Good story.
	Good story.
	Only on no agenda.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	The best podcast in the universe!
	Yes, we have great old crazy gossip on the No Agenda show.
	It's not gossip.
	This is fact.
	Fact.
	It's not gossip.
	Let's thank some producers.
	Yeah, good idea.
	So we do have a few producers, and you put right at the top of the list on our executive.
	We have one, two, three, four executive producers.
	That's nice.
	This is very good.
	Only two of them would take credit for having anything to do with us.
	This is making me anonymous, man.
	So Jonathan Allen contributed to the show, and I see 7200HF radio shipped directly from ICOM. Yes, this is...
	Jonathan has a...
	What's his call letter?
	I don't think he has a call.
	Maybe he does.
	He's got to.
	He has a company, Western Communications.
	It sounds to me like a front...
	There's some kind of CIA ops, because he does other stuff, but he can order directly from ICOM, from the factory.
	So he'll give any No Agenda Ham his factory price, and it's shipped directly from ICOM. If you just email him at noagendahamradio at gmail.com.
	Gmail, the email system for the agency.
	Right.
	Yeah, so that way you don't have to worry about sending a CC to the CIA. No, everyone knows.
	Exactly.
	Right away.
	So Jonathan sent from the factory the IC7200, which I have hooked up and now I am DXing all over the world.
	My first QSO, my friend, was West Virginia.
	From Texas to West Virginia.
	It's a magical thing.
	Fascinating.
	So we will be knighting Jonathan and, as a no agenda, insta-knight and highly appreciate that gesture.
	Is he on the list there?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, he's on the knight.
	Okay.
	And then we have blah, blah, blah from blah, blah.
	We don't...
	What?
	He has an anonymous note.
	We think he's anonymous.
	He wasn't real clear, but he gave $465 in the show, $465.
	So that's nice.
	And then we have blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	From all of $465, two anonymous guys.
	And he says anonymous donation, working on Anonite status before the end of the year.
	Okay, great.
	Thank you very much.
	We appreciate it even if you're anonymous.
	Should I tell you something?
	Yeah.
	When we do the School of Podcasting, when you graduate, you get a certificate that just says anonymous.
	Anonymous has completed.
	There you go.
	And finally, we have a person that wants to chime in.
	Good old Dame Janice Kang from Fremont.
	$333.33.
	She's in and out of our list.
	She is definitely in and out of the list.
	That's great, yeah.
	She...
	Boosted totals during the holidays.
	Thanks to John and Adam.
	Looking into joining the world of hams.
	She wants to be a ham.
	Oh, good.
	Are there many female hams out there, she asks rhetorically.
	Yeah.
	From what we can tell, no.
	Living in California where the big one might hit any day is an incentive to find an alternative to traditional communications channels because we all know how unreliable cell service is even without a natural disaster.
	Absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	Looking at you, AT&T. Hey, John, how about giving the N.A. Dames a shout-out in the opening of the show, which we didn't even do today.
	Not yet.
	Not yet.
	We will.
	The Knights are recognized every Thursday and Sunday with nary a mention of the Dames.
	Are we welcome to sit at the round table, or are we just serving the mutton and mead?
	Dame Janice, you crack me up, girl.
	I love it.
	So, yes, there are a few female hams.
	And let me tell you, the dudes like working them.
	You get a lot of attention.
	Get ready to be worked a lot, as we say in the ham business.
	Yep.
	It's a good skill to have.
	And I tell you, these digital modes, where you don't even just turn the radio on, you don't even listen to the sound.
	You just look at the screen, and then you see a little waveform, you click on it, and then you're talking to Brazil.
	But typing on the computer, you can send files, and it's pretty sophisticated.
	It's sophisticated.
	Sir James Briscoe in Bayshore, New York, 272-63.
	Rather than pay for cable service, I'd rather pay you.
	Here's a small tidbit to make up for the lack of Sunday donations.
	That show was absolutely hilarious with the Sweeten News report and other bits.
	You know what?
	That's what I forgot to do.
	I promised the Sweeten News report for this show and I didn't do one.
	You know, I looked at your clips when they came in.
	I'm like, huh, only eight clips.
	Well, maybe one of them is a Sweeten News report and you spent all this time doing that.
	But what did you actually spend your time doing?
	I know it.
	You spent your time sourcing that picture of that chick you put on the newsletter.
	What the hell was up with that?
	Is this like some psychological trick you're trying to play on us?
	Okay, I'm looking for a thing to put on the newsletter.
	You put a girl in a swimming pool.
	Hold on a second.
	I was just going to tell you where this picture came from.
	So I go to the No Agenda art generator, which I usually screw up, and I hit the wrong button.
	I went right to the first thing ever submitted to the art generator.
	It was that picture.
	I said, that's fate.
	This picture goes on there.
	I love it.
	Well, it did get my attention.
	Please credit this donation to my father, John, who I've always had interesting conversations about your show with.
	That's nice.
	He's one of the premier high-end residential architects here.
	What is this with architects and our show?
	Architects are smart people.
	And an absolute artist, as you say all architects are.
	In fact, they are.
	Just look at the buildings.
	Fact, fact.
	Well, you know what this is?
	I got it.
	Because architects have to think outside of the box.
	That's why architects of great stature listen to No Agenda.
	I guess so.
	Design and drawing, anyway, goes on.
	Find him in the blue book.
	For his benefit, I'd like Adam to just once call Mr.
	Dvorak John C. Dvorak, King of the Wild Frontier.
	Okay.
	Do it.
	Is there anything else I have to do along with that?
	It kind of fits.
	I think, no.
	That's it.
	Oh, okay.
	John C. Dvorak, King of the Wild Frontier.
	Why can't you do that always when you're doing the auditions?
	I've tried that.
	What auditions?
	The auditions that have dried up after your great coaching has won me zero gigs.
	Those auditions?
	Yeah, you know, I'm an experimental director.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Thanks, Sir James.
	Eric and to your dad, John.
	John Briscoe, great architect.
	Eric Braley in Polsbo, Washington, one of the greatest cities in the United States, I might add.
	It's a little Norwegian town in Washington State.
	And he can use some general purpose karma.
	You've got karma.
	Eric Finkenbeiner, who, without a lot of discussion, sent us...
	That's...
	Is Eric Sir?
	No, no, I'm sorry.
	No, I'm wrong.
	I'm confused.
	No, I got you.
	Anyway, he sent us the strange challenge coin, so I credit him with $200 towards his knighthood, even though there's no money really here.
	Yeah, but that's...
	But they're cool.
	These are really cool ones.
	These are one challenge coin from Burma that's got...
	that has actually got a bass relief with holes.
	It's just like you can see through it.
	That's huge.
	You know what's going to be great is that when we die, which is inevitable, there's going to be some kids in the family, and hopefully it'll be my grandchild somewhere, is going to come across this stash.
	I'm going to be like, wow, what was Grandpa doing with all this?
	Yeah, was he in Burma during the war?
	During the Great War of 2012?
	Andrew Seuss in Melbourne, Victoria, $200.75.
	He petitions to be a recognized knight.
	Please recognize me as your knight in Tasmania, looking for a job of karma for my wife, Christy, and send greetings to my brother, Patrick.
	Absolutely, and he will be knighted today, Sir Andrew.
	You've got karma.
	Thank you for your support.
	Sir Barry Hanna in Okatox, Alberta.
	Wow.
	$200 waiting for my ring.
	Okay, we're on it.
	She sends about every couple months.
	And he does enjoy the podcast.
	That's a message.
	I enjoy your podcast.
	No, no, no.
	He says, I do enjoy.
	I do.
	I do enjoy your podcast.
	I do indeed enjoy.
	Worst show ever.
	I do indeed enjoy.
	Well, uh...
	And I want to thank all these folks for being producers of today's show, 465.
	I want to remind people that we've got another show coming up on Sunday, which is a good opportunity to become an executive producer.
	Go to dvorak.org slash nachannel, dvorak.com slash nanoagendashow.com and noagendanation.com.
	Click on the Donate button there, and you can help us out.
	We'd really appreciate it.
	What I find nice is that we have two 465 Club members.
	The higher we get up in these numbers, that obviously becomes a detractor.
	And even though both those 465 Club members are anonymous, one of them I think I can mention is an employee at Apple.
	I think that's as much as you can say.
	No, that's all I'm going to say.
	Who I told about the data bug problem.
	But to me, it's a secret message.
	Well, whatever.
	Are you with me?
	Do you hear me?
	I'm not just saying anything because I think you should remain anonymous.
	That's right, but he's remaining anonymous.
	Do you know how many people work at Apple?
	I don't know.
	A lot, I guess.
	I think he's safe.
	I think he's safe if we say that.
	All right.
	Anyway, so I think we have a few more messages from you, from our coach.
	Well, first, let me say in the morning to you, John C. Devorak.
	Wait a minute.
	Why do you do that?
	Because that's what you said.
	In the morning.
	Wait a minute.
	In the morning, John C. Devorak, king of the wild frontier.
	Well, then in the morning to you, Adam Curry.
	In the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, subs in the water, feet in the air, and all the knights and dames out there who support this show week after week.
	We appreciate every one of them for being so helpful.
	Yes, not just helpful, but supportive, I think, is the actual...
	The actual verbiage.
	And thank you to Nick the Rat for our artwork on the previous episode of the No Agenda Show, the best podcast in the universe.
	Check out all of the art at noagendaartgenerator.com.
	And if you're out there and are just living the American dream of getting by, you can always help us by doing one thing, and that is propagating our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Milk.
	Water.
	Order.
	Oh, you shit is a...
	Shut up.
	I also want to thank Martin J.J. for the alternative art that showed up.
	Thank you.
	Oh, really?
	You know, it's hard to keep up with these guys.
	These guys are good.
	I mean, just like our architects, we attract an artistic crowd, John.
	Just face it.
	An artistic crowd.
	A cyber crowd.
	What's interesting is we have these...
	It comes in a wave.
	We get like two or three guys that get real competitive and then they...
	I don't want to say they burn out, but they get tired of doing it.
	I don't know what sure happens because somebody else comes along and then they do it.
	The funny thing about Martin J.J. is that we looked at a lot of his stuff up over the years.
	He's actually been contributing for a long time and only lately got into this groove.
	Yeah.
	Because he was getting, you know, coming in second and third on the choices for like, you know, a year.
	And then all of a sudden he's like kicking everybody off the front page.
	Like we're giving trophies second and third.
	It's weird.
	Second place, sorry.
	Sorry.
	But then the next thing you know, he's like hammering it out of the park.
	So you really have to wonder.
	I guess the message is that people should just keep trying.
	I want to, since we are an equal opportunity offender and job provider, for those of you who are already off and sending your resumes into the FBI, there is an alternative which I'd like to recommend.
	One of our producers apparently works there.
	It is the Blackwater of Cyberwarfare.
	And I think you should check this outfit out if you're going to send your resume.
	They are called CrowdStrike.
	And that is the Charlie Romeo Oscar W Delta Strike.
	CrowdStrike.com.
	A stealth mode security startup.
	You can join the mission.
	And do you remember a couple of...
	It was a couple of weeks ago, there was a mock, I think it was a part of state, what was it?
	Remember they had that like cyber week and Janet Napolitano showed up everywhere and was doing little, you know, talks about, you know, our infrastructure, etc.
	The CEO of...
	Janet Napolitano, the person that doesn't use email and doesn't probably know how to even boot a computer, that one?
	Yeah, that one.
	That Janet Napolitano?
	That's the one.
	So the CEO of this company, CrowdStrike, they did like a mock...
	George Kurtz is his name.
	They did a mock attack and he was supposed to be the CEO of the company that was attacked and here's how we're going to handle this and how we're going to do something.
	It's incestuous.
	So this is the Blackwater...
	Keep your eye out for CrowdStrike.
	The Blackwater of cyber warfare, which is going to kick in to high gear right after...
	Well, I guess next year when our government gets back and does something, that's when we'll see all of the cyber legislation come into play, which is going to be very interesting.
	Oh, yeah.
	So here's a thesis that...
	That I think is going to be the big boom, and this may be the push the administration is going to do here in America.
	And I think it will work in other countries as well.
	Not all of them, but in other countries it will work.
	So we pretty much were making all the killing stuff.
	We're really good at the drone stuff.
	So now that we have, and I really like that you put us on this attention span of look for rebuilding of our 100-year-old infrastructure.
	So we have pipelines or gas explosions, continuous gas explosions, and this will be a part of the new infrastructure that needs to be built, right?
	So if you overlay that...
	With the push, and actually the illegal push, to get drones flying domestically in the United States.
	The FAA is, you know, by 2015, they're supposed to have everything all set up, but of course already drones are flying everywhere, you know, as tests or beta, etc.
	We don't want to wait until 2015 to have the Skynet implemented above the United States.
	This is how you do it.
	We're going to declare these explosions...
	That's why the NTSB is there, because gas is transported through pipelines.
	We need to get the drones to survey the pipelines.
	It's such a crock.
	It's hilarious.
	To survey the pipelines.
	Pipeline survey...
	I used to fly pipelines just to get hours on the helicopter.
	Pipeline surveys is big, big, big...
	In fact, most small helicopters...
	Well, all helicopter companies are really small companies.
	They all survive on a pipeline contract, typically.
	And then they'll have lessons and fly people around and do other stuff.
	But the real money is either made on maintenance or on pipeline protection.
	So I think we're going to see this push to get drones flying over pipelines because they're so dangerous and they're exploding.
	You watch.
	The news will come out that people were digging near a pipeline or someone hit a pipeline.
	Like over there in Massachusetts, some hookers were out there digging.
	I'm sorry, strippers.
	And then they hit the pipeline and didn't know, and that's why it blew.
	Or their high heel pierced the pipeline.
	And that's how we're going to get drones flying, and that's how we're going to upgrade the infrastructure.
	I can see an entire movement coming around this.
	Well, we know we're going to get drones flying.
	But we need them earlier than 2015.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, they're going to be.
	I mean, the police departments are going to have drones.
	There are going to be drones everywhere.
	Weather services, K-R-O-N, weather on the fours will have a drone flying up and down the, or no, it'd be the freeway report, traffic report on the fours.
	And they're going to be, what's the fours?
	I guess somebody's on all fours.
	So there could be a drone.
	I've never heard of traffic on the fours.
	Traffic on the fours.
	It's on the six.
	It's always on the six.
	Traffic on the six.
	No, on the fours.
	On the eights.
	So anyway, so the traffic on the fours and the eights would be a drone flying all over up and down the freeways with a little photo, taking photos.
	Right.
	And flying up and down the pipelines.
	This is going to be big business, John.
	We're so stupid.
	Yeah, we are diddling around with a little podcasting school.
	No, no.
	We've already figured it out.
	It's the Adam Curry School of Podcasting.
	I don't think that's...
	I mean, that's not...
	It used to be a school of broadcasting, two of them.
	They were competitive.
	I have a diploma from the Connecticut School of Broadcasting.
	Never heard of that one, but that's typical.
	You actually got a diploma from the School of Broadcasting?
	Yeah, because I... I went to Paul Allen School of Broadcasting, also known as Tech TV. Hold on a second.
	I didn't actually take the course.
	You just got a diploma?
	No, I just did a talk or whatever.
	Like, hey man, if you come and talk at our school, we'll give you a free diploma.
	You made a diploma.
	Okay.
	It's like the honorary degree at the University of Maryland for giving the keynote.
	So how do we set this up, this Adam Curry School of Podcasting?
	It's like the School of Rock in a way, isn't it?
	I think we should just do a...
	It has to be a virtual school because we're not...
	Let's face it.
	Neither one of us are interested in dealing with the real estate issues of actually having a school.
	So what we need is we need a book, a podcasting book, which Mimi's been wanting you to do anyway for years.
	Wait a minute, didn't we start writing that?
	Wait a minute, stop, stop, stop.
	Didn't we start writing a podcasting book many years ago?
	I think we talked the big game.
	No, I remember...
	Well, maybe.
	We may have some text ready.
	I think Mimi was writing that.
	I'll go down into the cellar.
	I've been sucked into the Dvorak writing a book that never gets finished whole.
	Oh, no.
	No!
	Don't put me in there!
	So we'll get this book done.
	And we'll sell the book with some gear.
	You need some gear, a little microphone.
	Oh, no, no, no.
	Mixer, microphone.
	Mixer, a little mixer.
	A little something cheap.
	It'll be like Adam Curry's home kit.
	Yeah, a little kit.
	Comes with a kit.
	And then you can start podcasting.
	Some software.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	And we're building the hosting service.
	We've got Mr.
	Oil with his whole hosting service thing.
	That might be good, too.
	Streaming?
	Learn how to stream?
	Yeah, or give them special deals with Podbean or somebody that can host.
	No, no, we're not going to give them Podbean.
	We've got our new answer.
	I don't want to do free hosting.
	No, who said...
	Oh, hold on a second.
	Who said anything but free?
	Okay.
	Hello.
	Okay, good.
	Hello.
	Free.
	All right.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	That's fine then.
	Let those guys charge for it.
	They give it to us for free.
	Let them have some piece of the action.
	A taste.
	A taste.
	Hey, we'll give you a taste.
	What are we, drug dealers?
	I'm a taste.
	By the way, let me tell you, I saw the best.
	I got to talk about drugs for a minute.
	Because, you know, since I stopped smoking, I'm always interested in drugs.
	You're looking for drugs.
	Looking for drugs everywhere.
	And so, my daughter was here.
	And we see this commercial on television for Zzzquill.
	Are you familiar with Zzzquill?
	So NyQuil...
	I think I've seen a commercial.
	Right.
	So NyQuil is...
	I wonder if the...
	Oh, right, right.
	This stuff.
	Sleeping NyQuil.
	Right.
	So let me just explain.
	So NyQuil is a cough syrup, an antihistamine or whatever.
	It's a cough medicine.
	And I think...
	Isn't that the stuff that you can make crystal meth from?
	Yeah, I think there's some of that in there.
	Okay.
	It's one of the ephedrons.
	Right.
	So, it is well known that, you know, people take this to fall asleep, even if they don't have a cough.
	Let me see if I can find it.
	Right.
	It's a NyQuil.
	I can't get to sleep.
	And then they clunk out.
	Let me see if I can find the commercial.
	I didn't...
	I should have looked for this, but it just came up.
	So, we see this commercial all of a sudden for not NyQuil, but Zzzquil, which is...
	Oh, here it is.
	Which is literally selling the same stuff in a new bottle...
	As a sleeping aid, which is completely crazy.
	It's like you don't need a prescription, and the stuff will knock you out.
	Introducing Zequel Sleep Aid.
	It's not for colds.
	It's not for pain.
	It's just for sleep.
	Because sleep is a beautiful thing.
	Zequel, the non-habit-forming sleep aid from the makers of NyQuil.
	So you hear that little music?
	So we're walking through Walgreens.
	Picking up some stuff.
	And we walk past the display and that music starts playing with a snoring.
	Beautiful.
	And it's literally little twinkly lights on the display.
	Like little Christmas.
	And you hear clung, clung, clung, clung, clung.
	And we were like zombies.
	We were like, Z-Quil.
	Neat.
	And we bought like a big two-pack of Z-Quil.
	And we roofied ourselves.
	And we roofied ourselves.
	It was science.
	We were testing it out.
	And so it worked really well.
	No wonder you were late for the show.
	No, it was two days ago.
	It wasn't today.
	Same thing.
	And while we're at it, I'd like to play another drug ad.
	This is the all-new Vyvanse, which I think Adam Levine shills for.
	He's the guy from The Voice.
	Vyvanse is pretty much Adderall in a different packaging.
	But I love this commercial because they're telling you to...
	Now, remember, whenever someone tells you not to do something, we try to correct ourselves on this all the time.
	Instead of saying, don't forget to do this, you say, remember to do this.
	Because your brain doesn't parse the not part.
	So if you want to remind someone, you need to say, remember to get the milk and not...
	Don't forget to buy the milk because...
	Oh, I forgot.
	I just forget.
	It's an instruction to the brain to forget to buy the milk.
	So when you're telling someone not to do something, in the positive, it can actually instruct them to do this.
	Vyvanse...
	Yeah, because your brain cannot remember negative information that way.
	Vyvanse is wanting you to become a part of their drug-dealing network.
	So here's the deal.
	Vyvanse helps control my ADHD. That's it.
	As part of a treatment plan, my doctor prescribed Vyvanse.
	It won't do my laundry or do my work for me.
	I love this.
	It won't do my laundry or do my work for me because I'm going to be so productive on this legal cocaine that I'm going to do the laundry and your work.
	This is a very, very well-constructed commercial.
	But for some adults with ADHD, Vyvanse works throughout the day, even at 14 hours after taking it.
	If you could be doing laundry all day, this is the message.
	14 hours.
	My shit is going to be clean.
	Vyvanse helps control my ADHD. I do the rest.
	Now here's more you need to know.
	Okay.
	What's the first thing you need to know?
	Vyvanse has a risk of abuse or dependence.
	Okay, not a problem.
	We're liking that.
	It's all good.
	We like the drugs that are risky.
	Selling or sharing Vyvanse may harm others and is illegal.
	Become a part of our network, kids.
	Share and sell.
	I mean, come on!
	Come on!
	This is literally, please, become a part of our drug-dealing network.
	Well, actually, what they've done there, I think, is even more insidious in a way.
	Even better, yeah.
	What they've managed to do with that little announcement, which I've never heard on a drug ad before, is to say that this, obviously, is a problem that exists.
	Pay attention.
	In other words, if you never thought to share or to sell the stuff...
	Attention!
	You now know that people are doing that.
	I love it!
	This is great.
	So that's the way to introduce the fact there is a market out there.
	People are selling this drug.
	So don't sell it.
	It's illegal.
	Selling is illegal, but it's very profitable.
	Now, let's listen to the rest.
	Store it safely.
	Yeah, where you can handle it quickly so you can give it to your customers.
	Do not take it if you take MAOIs or are allergic to stimulants.
	Sudden death, stroke, heart attack, and high blood pressure were seen in adults taking stimulants like VitaVance.
	In other words, this is a seriously good drug.
	Call your doctor right away.
	To get some.
	If you have chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting.
	New or worse thing mental illness has also occurred while taking stimulants.
	I love that.
	Mental illness?
	Mental illness.
	That's me, baby.
	Call your doctor if you have changes in mood, behavior, or thoughts.
	Hey, doctor.
	Mood.
	Mood.
	My mood.
	Where'd she get to learn her dick's mood?
	Hey, my mood.
	My mood.
	My mood is not so good, doctor.
	Other serious side effects include seizures, blurred vision, and tics.
	That's for you.
	They'll never know I'm taking it.
	I thought she said tits.
	No, please, I wish.
	No, this ticks.
	Ticks.
	But at least I don't have ADHD. Common side effects include decreased appetite, trouble sleeping, dry mouth, diarrhea, and nausea.
	Perfect.
	They left one out.
	They blew it.
	Anal leakage?
	Because of a lost appetite.
	No, you want to throw something in there to do up sales?
	Yeah, it's the diet.
	Weight loss.
	Yeah, weight loss.
	Yeah, I agree.
	If they had hired the Courier-Devora Consulting you.
	Wait, you lost your appetite?
	You lost weight?
	Uh-oh, that's a symptom.
	Yeah, perfect.
	It's good.
	Throw it in.
	Vyvanse helps control my ADHD. The rest is up to me.
	Talk to your doctor about Vyvanse.
	Vyvanse.
	Listexamphetamine dimesylate.
	Love it.
	Amphetamine?
	Whoa!
	This next to frickin' luck may cause ticks, and it's illegal to sell.
	Hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more.
	You know, they've never, since World War II, my dad told me this, he said when you're on a Navy ship in World War II, it was like, everyone was wasted on Benzedrine.
	The whole navy.
	I mean, this, by the way, is not unusual with armies since the days of, during, I guess, Alexander the Great used to keep his troops stoned on opium.
	I mean, the whole army was just on opium, so they'd fight and they couldn't feel any pain.
	It's just like, these guys, you can't even hurt them.
	So Vyvanse's little sister, which is Adderall, has been a big blow-up now within the NFL. So Giants player Tyler Sash, I have no idea where these people are, But he had a random drug test, and his doctor had prescribed him Adderall.
	It's an amphetamine.
	It's coke.
	In fact, it's really good coke.
	It's an amphetamine.
	It's not coke.
	It's speed.
	It's as good as coke.
	I'm reliably informed.
	Well, it's fine and dandy, but it's not cocaine.
	It's an amphetamine.
	It's a different type of upper.
	Okay, I'll just say it's like coke.
	Okay, fine.
	Say whatever you want.
	Just like coke.
	But it's in a pill, and it's legal.
	I mean, selling it's illegal, but it's legal.
	So, these guys are getting suspended from games, but here's what's interesting.
	Other players who either had been prescribed Adderall before they joined the league, like in school when they were kids, they're not getting in trouble for taking Adderall because they had a pre-existing condition.
	So the idea is get on it now before you start playing college ball.
	Actually, that's funny.
	No, it's not funny.
	It's crazy.
	But this is what the message is.
	Get on it now before you get to professional sports.
	And all you have to do is just a little bit of that, ADHD, whatever.
	They tried to, you know, NASCAR, one driver was caught with it and we tested it.
	And they decided that no, because we don't need a bunch of guys driving around at 200 miles an hour hyped up on speed.
	The whole country is on this stuff.
	The whole country.
	The point I was trying to make before I so rudely interrupted was my father was on a ship and the Benzedrine was what they used to use.
	And then they slowly evolved into various other amphetamines.
	Dextroamphetamine, Dexedrine, which became Dexedrine was the brand name.
	But there's still one problem after another with these things.
	And they have been fine-tuning the way I see it.
	There's essentially benzadrine, bennies, uppers, since probably before World War II, and it's taken this long, which is 50, 60 years, they keep working on it, to get something that is really, that actually does whatever the trick is they're trying to make happen, which apparently is to just get you all wired up without too many side effects.
	So that's that.
	Are you sure?
	No.
	Yeah.
	You can talk now.
	Because I don't want to like rudely interrupt you anymore.
	Yeah, I knew you'd be.
	Rudely.
	Rudely.
	You're always saying something insulting.
	Rudely interrupt you.
	I'm so sorry for rudely interrupting you.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, you should be.
	Even though you rudely interrupted my flow, Mr.
	8-Clip shows up for the meeting.
	And I want one more drug story.
	This is a big one.
	This is a very big one.
	So my daughter and I, we had dinner on, what was it?
	I remember, Tuesday night with John and Chris.
	And John and Chris are our super, super pumped up, beautiful gay friends.
	It's important that I say this.
	Normally it isn't, but in this case it is.
	Pumped up in what way?
	Oh, they go to the gym every morning at 5.30.
	Oh, they're pumped up.
	They're like 5'7".
	They're not really tall, but they're really buffed, good-looking.
	Yeah, they're good-looking guys.
	Buffed.
	I get to play my bicurious card on them.
	It's what I like.
	And they tell me a story...
	I can't remember how it came about, but we were talking about something, and they laid this story on me, and it blew me away, and I went back to the genesis of it, which only happened a couple of months ago, and there is such a huge plan underway when it comes to a drug.
	It's mind-boggling.
	And the drug is Truvada, T-R-U-V-A-D-A. Go ahead and screw all you want.
	Have any type of sex you want drug, which you take before you go out and have unprotected sex because it will stop you from getting AIDS. And this is a huge thing in the gay community because essentially everyone's like, this is it.
	This kicks ass.
	Yeah, I've heard of this.
	And you know my belief that Let me step back.
	I know several people who have died of AIDS and AIDS-related diseases.
	You don't really die of AIDS. You die of pneumonia and other things that happen to you as your immune system breaks down.
	And what I found, and many people in the music industry, Dan Hartman, Freddie Mercury.
	I knew Dan Hartman very well, Freddie Mercury a little bit.
	You know, they had very extravagant lives.
	You know, you contract the virus and, you know, if you don't take care of yourself, you know, then this virus can really wreak havoc on you.
	But it is my belief, and there is some scientific evidence to back this up, that you can get rid of the virus within two weeks with vitamin C and other things.
	I don't want to get into that conversation because we've had this argument before.
	Okay, well, just move on.
	You rudely interrupted me with your eh.
	Yeah.
	Just because you don't believe my science.
	But all I've seen is the friends that I had, they really died after they started to get treatment from the hospital.
	That's when it started to go downhill for them.
	So that's...
	I'll put that over on the side.
	So this is an industry.
	The AIDS industry that, you know, I don't think it's meant to fix anybody.
	And I think that there's a huge push underway and it started back in June.
	Coincidentally, six weeks before Truvada...
	It was approved by the FDA to be taken by people who do not have HIV. And it starts with our friend Hillary Clinton at the World AIDS Congress, AIDS2012.org, where she is telling us exactly, it is a commercial, she's telling us exactly what Truvada can do without actually saying it.
	So while I want to reaffirm my government's commitment, I'm also here to boost yours.
	This is a fight we can win.
	We have already come so far, too far to stop now.
	I want to describe some of the progress we've made toward that goal and some of the work that lies ahead.
	Let me begin by defining what we mean by an AIDS-free generation.
	It is a time when, first of all, virtually no child anywhere will be born with the virus.
	That's one.
	Secondly, as children and teenagers become adults, they will be at significantly lower risk of ever becoming infected than they would be today, no matter where they are living.
	That's right.
	That's number two.
	And third...
	If someone does acquire HIV, they will have access to treatment that helps prevent them from developing AIDS and passing the virus on to others.
	This is exactly what Truvada does.
	It does exactly this.
	And here's the propaganda in USA Today.
	I'm going to read you this article.
	It's crazy.
	Already is commonly used in combination with other drugs to treat patients with HIV infection.
	If approved, which it has been, for HIV prevention, an FDI advisory panel recommended in May, it can be prescribed to healthy patients who are at high risk, such as partners of people who have HIV AIDS and non-monogamous gay and bisexual men.
	So, this is basically the entire world will be told you need to take this drug just in case.
	It's like the HPV scan.
	You might as well.
	I mean, you know, the condom could break or whatever.
	From 12 to 112, everyone will be on this thing.
	They're pricing it at $14,000 per year.
	What?
	Yeah.
	Okay, let me just read a couple little things.
	So Obamacare comes in.
	If you have a pre-existing condition, you get the drug.
	But every single insurance company is going to be paying.
	And it's not just.
	It's going to be you, your wife, your kids, your dog.
	Everyone's going to be on Truvada.
	$14,000 a year.
	That sounds like it's a good one.
	It's not a good one.
	No, it's a good one if you're a shareholder in Gilead.
	Named after the Australian Prime Minister.
	So it has an effective...
	What's the word?
	I can't think of how to pronounce it.
	But anyway, the thing it does, it reduces the risk of HIV infection by 75%.
	I'm seeing 90 here in the reports.
	It's lies!
	Lies!
	It's lies.
	So what they've done is they've effectively moved the efficacy.
	It's a 42% efficacy, which means if you use it twice, you're going to get A's a second time.
	This is bullcrap.
	Two studies were conducted with Truvada as P-R-E-P, which is their term being.
	Listen to what you just said.
	If it's bullcrap, right?
	And by the way, everyone has to get tested before you actually are put on Truvada to know if you have it or not.
	So you get it either way.
	$200.
	What you just said is very interesting.
	How can the FDA approve this drug to stop people from spreading the AIDS virus if it's bullcrap?
	Two studies were conducted with Truvada.
	The reason is because even if you get the AIDS virus, you're not going to die immediately.
	Just stay on the Truvada.
	You don't have to get a test ever again.
	The circle is complete.
	It'll be like taking your Flintstones.
	In fact, we'll have Flintstones Truvada.
	Come on, Timmy.
	Take your little Flintstones Truvada.
	When you grow up, you'll know why.
	This is a huge scam, and everyone's in on it.
	Everybody.
	Go look at the board of directors for Gilead.
	It's insurance company, guys.
	All of Stanford is there.
	This is huge.
	And, of course, we don't know who...
	I mean, we didn't know about this.
	Otherwise, we would have bought stock in Gilead.
	Tests will be mandatory.
	You have no idea how big this is.
	Screw Adderall.
	Screw Lipitor.
	Screw Vyvanse.
	This is the one.
	This is the one.
	And you know what?
	Woohoo!
	Anal sex, here I come!
	I mean, this is going to be the biggest bonanza.
	What is Gilead's stock?
	Can we still get in on this?
	Can we still buy in?
	I don't think people understand how massive this is.
	Well, I'm trying to get to this.
	You know, I'm on the site, and I click on corporate governance, and it's just sitting there, and it won't deliver.
	It's like a lousy website.
	I mean, I'm sure that the five people that listen to our show live have all clicked on it.
	That's swamped the site.
	But...
	Yeah.
	Nothing seems to...
	Let me try something else.
	So, the first thing we can do is sell these guys some internet services.
	No!
	No!
	Adam Curry podcast in school.
	Hey, everybody.
	It's the How to Take Your Pill and Pound Away podcast.
	Let me see.
	Gilead.
	I'll just look up on Yahoo Finance.
	I'm going to this NASDAQ to look at it.
	73 bucks a share.
	Let me take a look at the tech analysis.
	Oh, jeez.
	We kind of missed out on this.
	See?
	They knew it.
	The bastards.
	January, before it started skyrocketing, before they made the announcement in July, it was at 37, 38.
	Oh my goodness!
	It doubled!
	It doubled, it doubled.
	And then the announcement, but here's the good, interesting part.
	The announcement was made, it had already gone up, and by the way, if you look at the long-term chart from January to today, you can see a weird...
	A fact that took place around, I guess, the end of December of last year, or the first part of January, where the stock skyrocketed and peaked.
	This is all the people that knew what was going on.
	Then it settled back down.
	This is a classic insider trading thing, but they'll never do anything about it.
	By the time they made the announcement, the stock was already up to 50 bucks.
	So it's gone from 50 to 75 since the announcement.
	And, I don't know.
	European Commission approves for HIV-1 infection in children and adolescents.
	This is it.
	This is the bonanza.
	This is the one.
	You could have bought this baby in 1995 before the dot-com crash, which was not effective, for two bucks.
	So they essentially came out of nowhere, is what you're saying.
	That's what it looks like, yeah.
	Well, I don't know.
	It depends if they were working on it.
	Maybe.
	I don't know what the...
	It's a shell.
	It was just a shell.
	But this thing, it's set up...
	I mean, you look at everyone's Stanford.
	Everyone's in there.
	You know that...
	Are you kidding me, man?
	This is just so...
	This is such a bonanza.
	And you know what it's going to be?
	It's like, oh, you want to move to this country?
	You want a green card?
	Take a test.
	Just so we know if you have it or not.
	And here's your Truvada vitamin pill.
	It's okay.
	$14,000 a year, a grand a month at best.
	A grand a month.
	John, we can get...
	I mean, this company's going to be pooping out dividends.
	The risk is always with some of these crazy things is that it turns out to be carcinogenic or something and the damn stock's back down to two bucks.
	No, no.
	Listen to my thesis.
	I know your thesis.
	I heard it.
	It always catches up to them.
	The same thing's going to happen with that HPV thing that you're always moaning about.
	That thing is dangerous.
	I'm just moaning.
	I'm not trying to protect anyone.
	You're a moaner.
	I'm just trying to protect women and girls and now I'm a moaner.
	You're moaning about this stuff.
	I mean, this is not going to be...
	I can't see people just...
	This is ridiculous.
	If they'd make it cost-effective...
	I mean, Lipitor is relatively cheap.
	I think it was $10 a pill at its height.
	I don't know how...
	You're going to have to get this down to $10.
	No, John, Lipitor...
	Listen, you don't see...
	Connect all the dots.
	We have the new healthcare insurance law.
	It's not about better healthcare.
	The healthcare insurance law, guaranteed.
	It's in.
	Science is in.
	We're all good.
	No one can be excluded.
	Premiums are starting to go up.
	And now...
	Oh man, look, this is preventative medicine.
	I need this.
	I can't get the AIDS. I'm bicurious.
	I could slip one day.
	I could fall onto a penis.
	You never know.
	I need to have this.
	My insurance will go, okay, here it is.
	You should be taking it.
	Here's your little Flintstone Truvada, and that's how everyone's going to do it.
	Yes, and I do agree with some of the audience members.
	Where there's smoke, there's fire.
	Yes.
	So, all right, onward.
	I just want you to know the propaganda is coming.
	Be ready for it.
	And remember where you heard it first.
	Because we are, for this very reason, graduates...
	No, no, no, no.
	Oh, I thought you were going to do the best podcast in the universe.
	No, I was going to say we are, for this very reason, not just members, but also graduates of the Adam Curry School of Podcasting.
	Indeed.
	I have an honorary degree.
	Valedictorian.
	With emphasis on the dick.
	Okay, now I'll hear it.
	The best podcast in the universe.
	So I have a red book item.
	Oops.
	Sorry, it slipped.
	Yes.
	I slipped, I slipped.
	Not that book.
	I slipped, I slipped.
	So I didn't think much about it until I was watching this latest round of news about Susan Rice.
	Oh, yeah.
	I do have a clip.
	And the Red Book item, you won't guess, I don't think.
	But it's a pretty interesting one.
	I got a couple of clips.
	I think the Susan Rice saga continues as a clip worth listening to.
	And then I'll give you my Red Book item.
	Because it just kept bothering me until I finally, oh, duh, I'm an idiot.
	In the case, the intelligence assessment has evolved.
	We stress that neither I nor anyone else in the administration intended to mislead the American people at any stage in this process.
	And the White House had this to say.
	The focus on, some might say obsession on, comments made on Sunday shows seems to me...
	And to many, to be misplaced.
	GOP senators also complained that Rice neglected to ask key questions before telling the public what turned out to be wrong information.
	That's troubling to me as well, why she wouldn't have asked.
	I'm the person that doesn't know anything about this.
	I'm going on every single show.
	And Wolf, just moments ago, the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid released a statement very, very direct and pretty critical of those Republican senators who were critical of Susan Rice, really defending Susan Rice.
	And he was talking about the Republican senators saying the election is over.
	It's time to drop these partisan political games and focus on the real challenges facing the nation.
	He said that these attacks on Susan Rice are unfounded and they don't jive with reality.
	And I can tell you that...
	Senator Joe Lieberman, who's the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, came out of a separate meeting with Susan Rice and said that he finds her answers satisfactory.
	And he said that if it were up to him, he would vote for her for Secretary of State if she's nominated.
	Big if.
	Of course, he doesn't have a vote because he's retiring at the end of the year.
	He's retiring.
	The new Senate will do it.
	All right.
	Thanks very much.
	All right, Wolf.
	All right.
	By the way, he said the new Senate will do it.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Nice little meme.
	So the...
	Now, I don't know how far this is going to go, and I think it's...
	But I've noticed this one person that keeps cropping up, and she's also in the other clip that I have there, which is...
	Senator Collins?
	Susan Collins?
	No, Kelly Ayotte from New Hampshire.
	Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
	She's about 6'5 from the looks of her.
	Really?
	Is she hot?
	She towers over the men.
	Is she hot?
	Whoever men she's with.
	Is she hot?
	She's a milfy type, and she's videogenic.
	She's not necessarily photogenic, but she's very telegenic.
	And I think they're grooming her, and I'm putting it in the Red Book to be vice president in 2016 because they want a woman to balance the ticket.
	Is she a Republican?
	Yes.
	She looks a lot like my cousin, Cousin Allison.
	Yeah, she's a very photogenic, very strong, strong woman.
	And her wiki page does not tell us how tall she is?
	No, of course not.
	This is ridiculous.
	We should know the height and weight of everybody.
	Anyway, she's quite tall.
	At least according to all the parent midgets that are in the Senate.
	She's a senator, which is a better position than a representative to be in high office.
	And I've noticed her showing up a lot over the last six months.
	I didn't think much about it the first time I saw her.
	But now I saw her over this thing.
	Now I fear they're grooming her.
	And the reason they're grooming her is because she really sucks as a speaker.
	Oh, she needs a little practice.
	She really sucks.
	Oh, she needs some practice.
	She needs a lot of practice.
	So they're putting her out there.
	And we're going to start seeing Kelly Ayotte, or Ayotte, or however they pronounce it.
	And she is going to be the...
	They felt they got it wrong the first time when they ran the woman from Alaska.
	Sarah Palin.
	Palin, because she's a...
	She had a squeaky voice.
	This woman seems a lot sharper, but she is nervous when she speaks.
	She's literally...
	She needs to get, so they're going to put her on Fox.
	You're going to see her all the time for the next year or two.
	You know what she needs?
	She needs some Vyvanse.
	Yes, I do.
	Yeah, Vyvanse.
	That'll fix her right up.
	She might have ticks.
	No, I thought you were going to say what you should have said.
	The Curry Dvorak Consulting Company.
	That's what she needs.
	Yeah, but that's a part of our curriculum, is first you take your Vyvanse, and then we're going to get started.
	Have a little cup, you know, with your pills.
	She'd probably be shaking like a leaf if she took that stuff.
	Yeah.
	But you can play the second clip where she's got the VP... The talking points she used, in fact, they talk about the acting director of the CIA saying that the CIA, the FBI actually, removed the references to al-Qaeda in the talking points to prevent compromising and ongoing criminal investigation.
	However, they say, the senators say in this release, that at 4 o'clock this afternoon, CIA officials contacted us and indicated that acting director Morales misspoke.
	In the earlier meeting, the CIA now says that it deleted the al-Qaeda references, not the FBI, and they were unable to give us a reason why.
	One of the things also about the al-Qaeda being taken out, it was not just the five Sunday shows blaming the spontaneous demonstration that there wasn't, that it turns out there was never a demonstration, but Susan Rice also said this, which didn't sit well with one senator.
	President Obama said when he was running for president that he would refocus our efforts and attentions on al-Qaeda.
	We've decimated al-Qaeda.
	Osama bin Laden is gone.
	We have decimated al-Qaeda.
	Osama bin Laden is dead.
	She said that al-Qaeda was decimated in both of those interviews.
	So that, of course, was a misleading impression to the American people about what happened at the consulate.
	It's absurd to me to think that you would omit the reference of al-Qaeda.
	And particularly since it's very important that the American people not be left a misleading impression, which is what happened here.
	So that at the end was Kelly Ayotte again.
	Can I play a little bit of her from the convention?
	Yeah, you can.
	I don't remember her at the convention, but when she does these things, she's way too nervous.
	But they keep pushing her in front of the camera so that obviously something's going on.
	New Hampshire.
	But I believe tonight we all share that view.
	As have generations of Americans before us.
	Like most Americans, our life changed after 9-11.
	Okay.
	Contact her.
	Call her immediately.
	She definitely needs the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group.
	I mean, that's not how you roll out a 9-11 reference, woman.
	Well, it may be a hopeless cause.
	I mean, maybe she can't snap out of it, but she does not perform well.
	But I will say, I think that people got really turned off by the slickness of Sarah Palin.
	She was too slick.
	And, you know, too pat and too, you know, it's just too much, too much, too much.
	I think people are looking for a genuine experience.
	They want a little, a little reality.
	Yeah, but they don't want somebody that's a nervous wreck.
	They don't want somebody shaking in their boots.
	But if you see her show up with a tick, then you'll know the Curry-Devorak Consulting Group is on the case.
	So what I don't understand, how can today, today...
	It actually happened yesterday.
	So now we know that the video was a fake, it was all a lie, it was all set up.
	How can this report, how can this happen in Egypt?
	Seven Egyptian Christians have been sentenced to death in their absence by a court in Cairo for taking part in an anti-Islam video that prompted violent protests throughout the world.
	The crude video made privately in California denigrated the Prophet Muhammad.
	Cast members have previously said they were duped into thinking it was an adventure drama.
	Among the condemned was Nakula Basile Nakula, who's currently serving a one-year jail term in Los Angeles for probation violations arising from his part in the video.
	There were anti-U.S. protests and attacks on Western embassies throughout the Muslim world in September.
	The judge in Cairo said the seven accused were convicted of insulting the Islamic religion through participating in producing and offering a film that insults Islam and its prophet.
	How does that work?
	I mean, did they not get the memo that the video didn't cause any of this?
	I don't understand how that works.
	Mixed messaging.
	The thing that was in there that was interesting was this guy...
	Nikula Nikula.
	Nikula Nikula.
	He is in jail for violations of probation from making the video or something.
	What was that?
	That's the guy who made the video, but he wasn't allowed to use a false name because he had been...
	He was on probation for identity theft.
	It's irrelevant to the story.
	Why is a judge, a judge in Cairo, now saying that these guys are convicted to death?
	The whole story is like, what?
	And then on MSNBC, Joe Klein.
	Do you know this guy, Joe Klein?
	Do you know him?
	Yeah.
	He is, what is he, the editor of Time Magazine?
	He's a famous book writer mostly, but I think he writes for Time or Newsweek, one of them.
	Morning Joe is my new source of entertainment.
	And so after all of this is said, he comes out and says this.
	The question with regard to Susan Rice would be this.
	Who hung her out to dry?
	By the way, that's the question we ask, and we're pretty sure it was Hillary.
	When did we ask that question?
	Oh, three weeks ago?
	Three?
	Guess again.
	Really?
	Immediately.
	Oh, has it been that long?
	Yeah, you're right.
	It's probably been two months.
	Anyway, that's not Joe Klein.
	Who allowed her to say basically the same thing for a period of nearly two weeks?
	Did no one, not General Petraeus, not anyone in the intelligence community pick up the phone?
	The talking points were accurate.
	This is Joe Klein.
	For two weeks, they were absolutely accurate.
	Were they really?
	They were.
	It was a spontaneous demonstration by extremists.
	By Al-Qaeda?
	No, not by Al-Qaeda.
	So was Al-Qaeda involved in this attack or not?
	Anybody can call themselves Al-Qaeda.
	This is interesting information.
	Was Al-Qaeda involved in this attack or not?
	No, it was not.
	Well, it's not, really, because that's a surprise to General Petraeus, who said they knew immediately that it was a terror attack and that Al-Qaeda was involved.
	Salafists were involved.
	You keep going back to Salafists, and that's great.
	Salafists are militant extremists.
	Al-Qaeda was an organization organized by Osama bin Laden.
	So you're saying Al-Qaeda was not involved?
	You've got to be accurate about these things.
	So he's basically saying it was because of the video and Salafists, and it's crazy.
	I mean, the guy literally...
	Everyone is saying that these were terrorists and Al-Qaeda or whatever.
	He's like, no, no, no.
	He's just like propagating, that's why the Time Magazine, propagating basically the lie from two months ago.
	And then the next day, because on this Morning Joe show, the co-host is, what's her name, Mika?
	Mika Brzezinski.
	She is that evil douchebag Brzezinski's daughter.
	And I want to tease, I have a Brzezinski clip.
	By the end of the show, that is quite interesting.
	So this is the daughter of that douchebag Brzezinski, and this is the next day, which was two days ago.
	Gazi that are reasonable, rational questions that most Americans have, unless they're extreme left-wingers on Twitter or Joe Klein.
	Those are questions that are logical questions that need to be asked.
	We love you, Joe, but seriously, yesterday, I'm not sure what you were on.
	I understood what he was on.
	Yeah.
	The truth.
	Oh, what the...
	So, he says whatever Joe Klein was on, Mika says the truth.
	He was on the truth.
	What?
	Yeah, that what he was saying yesterday was the truth.
	I gotta start watching this show.
	It's crazy.
	You'll love it.
	It's very annoying, though.
	You get tics, like Vyvanse.
	You're like, uh, uh, uh, uh.
	Because Mika makes faces.
	When she disagrees, she'll make faces at the camera.
	She might be on Hal Doll, actually, now that I think about it.
	There's something weird about her facial expressions.
	So who is behind and why are they trying to...
	I'm telling you, the Susan Rice thing, there's something, this is a deeper issue than we even have been close to.
	That's my point.
	Something is going on.
	There is something up with her.
	And by the way, I would ask the Adam thing again.
	I mean, I've done it, I guess I do it every show.
	Why the heck is this woman going to be Secretary of State?
	Is that the best Obama can do?
	And she is a weird, twerpy woman who is very arrogant.
	I don't know, she's twerpy.
	She's a twerp.
	Hello?
	And she's arrogant and weird.
	And I don't see why she's so important that she has to have this job or why she's even qualified for it.
	Well, the only thing I can come up with is that it was a...
	This is Occam's razor theory.
	Quid pro quo is, hey, Hillary, whoever, like, listen...
	If you jump on this grenade, if you put your butt right on this thing as it explodes and you calm everybody the F down, I'll make you Secretary of State, bitch!
	That's the only thing I can think of.
	Because she did...
	Let's recall what happened.
	This thing happened.
	She went out.
	She calmed everybody down.
	And then just before the election, we had Superstorm Sandy.
	So that was how it got off the radar.
	So first we had a calm down period.
	And then in the weekend...
	Three days leading up to the weekend, just before the Tuesday of the elections, when everyone was going to go balls to the wall, it was going to be all out, we're going to nail this Benghazi thing to the president and make him look like a douche and liar and whatever, Superstorm Sandy hits Harp Induced.
	That's how it went.
	So, I think she got a quid pro quo.
	And she knows enough that if she does not get the nomination, that she'll say, alright, maybe I should go write my book now.
	Well, then she'll get killed, but...
	Okay, well, let's back up on this.
	Because we have...
	There's obviously a bunch of unclear theories at work.
	One...
	Is she Hillary's pick, or was Hillary trying to screw her over by setting her up this way?
	That's also two, by the way.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's hard.
	That's a hard one to answer.
	I'm not sure.
	I think that...
	If I were Hillary, oh man, I would have so much snatch.
	If I were Hillary, I would want to be very careful of Susan Rice.
	Why?
	She's not dangerous.
	Let me answer the question.
	If she is Secretary of State for four years...
	Then come 2016, she might be interesting for some positions that Hillary might be in.
	Are you kidding me?
	This is not even within the realm of possibility.
	The woman is unappealing.
	Excuse me, excuse me, Ronald Reagan was a cowboy actor and became president.
	He was a good-looking man and he knew how to act.
	Susan Rice is a twerp.
	Susan Rice is a black woman and it's perfect.
	Crazy-looking person.
	When she got her hair tied back, very presidential-like.
	Arnold Schwarzenegger was an Austrian bodybuilder who screwed the help and he was governor of California.
	She's a...
	Kelly Ayotte, who we mentioned to say, has a better presence than a Susan Rice woman.
	Right, but she's a Republican and Susan Rice will be a Democrat.
	No, no, no.
	This is not possible.
	Okay.
	Just like the idiots, and we've heard them all, the pundits, that went on and on about how Condoleezza Rice, it's funny they have to have these same last names, would have been a great candidate for president.
	There's no chance that anybody would vote for her for president.
	But this twerpy woman, who was just annoying, I don't see the threat.
	And I don't see Hillary finding her to be a threat.
	Okay, okay.
	Maybe, maybe it was just a lesbian thing.
	Well...
	You know, just like an anger thing.
	Or...
	Maybe.
	You might actually be onto something.
	Or...
	Because they do have a relationship.
	And Susan Rice, she was basically mentored by Madeleine Albright, who, of course, you know, very strong ties to Hillary as well.
	So maybe it was, hey, you know...
	You think it's the gay mafia?
	Can I answer the question?
	No.
	Maybe Hillary wants to continue to run state while she's preparing for the presidency.
	And the way you do that, let's face it, all you need to do is get on the airplane and wave and then go pass the message to whoever you're meeting in whatever country.
	Basically, install the pipelines, do this, do that.
	Let me finish!
	She wanted her stooge in the State Department.
	She said, look, you're going to take this hit.
	Alright?
	I'll make sure, I will make sure that you become Secretary of State, and then you're good to go.
	Okay, let's take a look at some book of knowledge information.
	She's a former Brookings Institute fellow.
	Why?
	She's a current United States Ambassador to the United States.
	She served on the staff of the National Security Council and as Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs during Bill Clinton's second term.
	Mm-hmm.
	So she's a Clinton.
	So she is in the Clinton administration.
	So she's part of the Clinton mob.
	Isn't that exactly what you'd want?
	She went to Stanford, another Stanford woman.
	Just like Condoleezza Rice, which is another weird coincidence if you ask me.
	Who's also a twerp.
	Now that's a twerp.
	She received a...
	Twerps to me are small, diminutive characters.
	Condoleezza Rice is pretty tall.
	This woman is a twerp.
	She's small, dinky.
	How do you know?
	How do you know how tall she is?
	I've seen her...
	You see her in the crowd.
	They have a bunch of bodyguards around her.
	She's like the little bitty one in the middle.
	She's a twerp.
	It's not in the book of knowledge.
	A Truman Scholarship, no height in here, but it would have been, but I'm guessing 5'3".
	Truman Scholarship, graduated the BA in history, elected to Phi Beta Kappa, okay, so she's smart, took a Rhodes Scholarship, went to New College, Oxford, where she got a Master's of Philosophy and a Doctor of Philosophy.
	Can we move on?
	I don't need to read her whole wiki page.
	I'm sure we can do that on our own time.
	No, I'm telling you, there's something in here.
	Something doesn't make any sense to me.
	Why is my theory so hard to chew for you?
	Hillary wants to continue to run the State Department so she can continue to hook all her oil buddies up with pipelines in the right place.
	Here's what it is.
	Because there were a million different ways she could have gone with these five...
	Sunday morning shows with the big lie.
	The whole thing doesn't make sense that she would have done this that way.
	It just makes her look like an idiot or a liar or part of some bigger conspiracy.
	And why would Hillary think this was a good idea?
	Is Hillary that stupid?
	Or she thought it was going to work.
	It was her personnel.
	It was her department.
	It was her responsibility.
	She had to throw someone in front of her.
	She needed a block.
	She needed a block.
	She's not going to go on the show and say all this crap.
	She needed a sacrificial lamb.
	And this is perfect because the minute people start bitching about Rice lying, oh, woman, sexism, racism, they throw that stuff up.
	I mean, come on.
	It's very obvious.
	It was not a well-planned thing because it was never supposed to happen that way.
	It was supposed to be a kidnapping, hostage situation.
	The guy was not supposed to die.
	So they were grasping at straws.
	What are you going to do?
	I got no straw.
	I'll grab some rice.
	Throw some rice.
	I think it's no secret.
	I just do not.
	I'm not buying it.
	I just think there's something we don't know that would explain the whole thing.
	And we know a piece of the puzzle, which is the fake kidnapping.
	But there's something else missing, as far as I'm concerned, with this woman.
	Well, you cannot discount the fact that she is the UN ambassador and was a part of the legislation for bringing down Gaddafi, for setting this whole thing up in the first place.
	I think she's on the inside.
	She is not a total idiot.
	She knows what's going on.
	She knows where the bodies are buried.
	I think she really took one for the team.
	And it's going to have no problem.
	Look, who else are they talking about for the State Department?
	John Kerry?
	Oh, please.
	The guy's lurch.
	He's a moron.
	He's got sawdust in his head.
	I mean, these people, they're all stupid.
	You're making an intellectual argument on whether she can be Secretary of State or not.
	Anyone can do that.
	You can do that.
	You'd be great.
	Just pour some Z-Quil down your gullet.
	And you're on the plane, and you get off, and you wave, and you go sit next to the guy.
	And by the way, foreign ministers, secretary of state, women, women, women, it's always.
	We got Kathy Ashton.
	That started with Clinton and Albright.
	There wasn't one before then.
	Now it's all women.
	Women take over.
	Oh, there we go.
	I'm telling you, it's the gay cabal that's taking over.
	Mm-hmm.
	Mm-hmm.
	Well, one thing's for sure.
	It is only this type of conversation that you can get on the No Agenda show.
	If you want to call it a conversation, argument.
	I don't think it's an argument.
	No, it's an exchange.
	We don't have to agree.
	That would be annoying.
	I just don't like that you make all those faces that Mika likes to make.
	I don't make faces.
	I'm going to show my smooth by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	We're not fighting.
	In the morning.
	Stone-faced.
	Patrick, I want to thank a few people, by the way, for helping us through this show, including Patrick Brennan from Munich, Munchen, apparently, I think, with $199.12, which is interesting, Please accept the contribution to represent the birth of my first human resource on the 19th of September, 2012.
	Please de-douche Mitch Bedron...
	Mitch Bedron, as I douched him last time, I donated, despite him being a knight.
	Oof, well let me do it now then.
	You've been de-douched.
	I would hereby like him to be called Sir Smegma.
	That's not how the roundtable works.
	I don't know.
	These Germans.
	Something screwy about them.
	Please give a hello, citizen, followed by a kid, yay, backed by John C. Slide Whistle and Karma.
	Thank you for the great shows and entertainment.
	Adam, while in L.A., try and get back to the Adam Carolla show.
	That's where I got smacked in the mouth.
	Those guys hate me.
	They hate me.
	Everybody hates us as a show.
	Yeah.
	Except our listening audience who appreciate what we do.
	Yeah.
	Also, please decode the Morse code he uses on the beginning of the Ace Broadcasting radio clip.
	What?
	Is that from the...
	I'm not going to listen to Adam Carolla.
	I got no time.
	I'm doing other stuff.
	No, just run it through a computer program yourself.
	Yeah, but I haven't...
	Give him his thing.
	Uh, yes.
	Ace, citizen.
	Yay!
	You've got karma.
	There you go.
	There you go.
	Will you roll it out?
	That's Ron Williams.
	Ron Williams in Scotts Valley, California.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	Without comment, Jason Stevens.
	Sir Jason Stevens to you, $111.11.
	And Sir Gear from wherever he is.
	I think he's in...
	I don't know.
	Anyways, job hunting karma for Sir Paul T. in the Chiners.
	Oh, that's right.
	Sir Paul was one of our former artists.
	One of our, yeah.
	What happened to him?
	He's looking for work in China.
	Wow.
	Well, that's the place to do it.
	I see him on the Twitters once in a while.
	That's the place to be, for sure.
	And he's pretty much been given up on helping the art.
	And he wants something.
	This is something about Bruges.
	Atlas Shrugs.
	Atlas Shrugs.
	By Ayn Rand.
	No, he didn't want you to do that.
	You've got karma.
	I didn't do anything.
	It's on the clip.
	It said, nope, from John.
	Nope, from John.
	Ah, you are bad.
	You're bad to the bone.
	So John Smith, $100 from Parts Unknown.
	Matthew Wittering from Bedford, Bedfordshire.
	$100 per...
	He wants Parliament mumble, little girl shut up slave, and some karma.
	Okay, we got that for you.
	You've got karma. .
	I'm rocking the...
	So far.
	Paolo, Paolo, Paolo, Paolo, Tosiani in Virginia Water.
	How about Paolo?
	Paolo.
	$100?
	This is kind of a drunk donation, kind of.
	We'll do it, kind of.
	He's not drunk.
	He's only had two glasses of Lagavula and single malt.
	I just want to mention that I've been listening since episode 180.
	This is my first donation.
	Send some karma to his dad and brother on their new business.
	Alrighty, here we go.
	You've got karma.
	Lawrence McBride in the UK, $99.99.
	You've got to do the right jingle.
	Well, what is this?
	Robby, Robby, Robber, Robby, Sandlin and Helsinki Nuts.
	Helsinki Nuts.
	I think you probably pronounce this Robby.
	Maybe it's their version of Robby.
	Robby, Robby.
	Robby, Robby, Robby Sandlin.
	Mr.
	Robby Sandlin.
	$99.99.
	For a long time boner, first time donor, people look at me funny in the tram when I listen to your podcast because I can't stop laughing and crying hysterically.
	Well, hey, that's value right there, my friend.
	Yeah, I think it's some of that...
	An emotional rollercoaster.
	This is great.
	Yeah, there's nothing like it.
	It's good for the soul.
	Last show's sweetened news report from Black Friday almost killed me.
	I also listened to the donations.
	By the way, I'm doing another sweetened segment on the Sunday show.
	I'm going to do them every Sunday.
	That way it won't get too boring.
	I also listened to the donation segment religiously.
	I pity all who fast forward.
	Since I really hate Nazis, can I have a 999 followed by two to the head and a little girl gay?
	9999999!
	Wow!
	Nice combo.
	Yeah, I liked it.
	Yeah, it's a good combo.
	Anonymous in Dublin.
	Apparently Ireland.
	8888.
	Oh.
	Wait a minute.
	We have that one somewhere, too.
	It's like, how can I keep up with it?
	We have 8888.
	Yeah.
	That's 8888 in Morse code.
	And he wants Alan to read it.
	Dear John Alan.
	Okay.
	You must be Alan.
	Hi, everybody.
	My name's Alan.
	I'm here to read this donation notice.
	Please do not mention my name, Anonymous.
	You may mention the location, Dublin.
	Thanks.
	I'm donating.
	Oh, that's the next one.
	Yeah, this is the...
	I'm donating $33.33 in order to get a free podcast license.
	Also $55.55 because I started to listen to your show during year five.
	That all adds up to $88.88 and that translates to love and hugs.
	That's right, we just played the Morse code.
	Please send a douchebag to Leo Laporte because he's not yet donated what he promised.
	Now that's true.
	Douchebag!
	Followed by a You Got Karma.
	Really?
	I would also like to thank Adam for the very nice words about a picture I sent to the Countdown show.
	Took me a while to produce the all-shoots amateur but worked hard on it, and he recognized it.
	Thank you.
	What?
	Thank you for the great work.
	I could mention a couple of times I hit people in the mouth.
	Thanks to your show.
	Thanks, regards.
	Anonymous in Dublin.
	A little confusing note, but I'll give you the karma anyway.
	I'm not quite sure what...
	You've got karma.
	What countdown?
	Do I do a countdown?
	Did I do a countdown?
	You know what it's like to read them all the time.
	Did I do a countdown show?
	Did I do a countdown show somewhere where I wasn't paying attention?
	You know what I mean?
	Sir Phil Flick in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
	7777.
	Money's been tied in with the new job that Karma delivered to me six months ago, so I haven't donated since my knighting.
	I need a dedouching Huntsman Karma so I can crush the CPA exam.
	Keep me posted on the No Agenda Brewing Challenge.
	Oh, yes.
	You've been dedouched.
	You've got Karma.
	Have you noticed, by the way, how the de-douching and karma, if you play them back-to-back, how it goes down and then takes you up?
	It's kind of like a...
	You've been down and up.
	Yeah, it's a very different...
	Take two drugs at once.
	I want to mention something here, which is the brewing challenge.
	Now, I've had two or three guys write me and say, hey, what do you want me to send you some beer?
	And I have been remiss...
	And in other words, I didn't send an ad.
	I said, oh, I'll get to it later, as I do with most things.
	And then I never can find the email again, because I get...
	What?
	Nothing.
	Nope.
	So I can't find the email, because there's always a subject that doesn't make sense.
	We need a secretary.
	So tell me about it.
	So here's the deal.
	People who want to send some beer for the brewing challenge, which is a little side thing, we won't talk about too much on the show, please send me another email that you've done already, I know that, that has the beer in the subject line.
	Beer.
	B-E-E-R. Okay, along these lines, I think that's a very good idea.
	Very good idea.
	B-E-E-R. Beer.
	To john at dvorak.org.
	I, on the other hand, would like to help the show in another way.
	I am taking solicitations and CVs for the position of No Agenda Secretary.
	So send your resume with photo to Adam at Curry.com.
	And by the way, we will accept male secretaries as well if you're smoking hot.
	It's going to be a hard show, because John gets a say, too, obviously.
	So I'll take care of the secretary, and you look out for that beer, okay?
	Nick Kosterman in Oakville, Ontario.
	69!
	69, dudes!
	All right, this continues, of course.
	73 in ITM, been hitting people in the mouth left and right like it's going out of style.
	I need some dual purpose getting laid job karma.
	I've donated three times and forgotten to get a de-douching, so I need one of those too.
	My dad's a long time ham and it's weird to think he has been working random dudes for so long.
	You've been de-douched.
	By the way, if you're interested in becoming a ham, go to DailyMorseCode.com, which is DailyMorseCode.com, working random dudes in the morning, and I think there's links.
	If the site isn't up yet, the new site, there'll be links on how to become a ham.
	Oh, I'm so sorry.
	I thought it was just a de-douche thing.
	You've got karma.
	Oh, you wanted...
	That's right.
	Getting laid job, karma.
	You're getting laid, karma.
	Yes, of course.
	Sorry, of course.
	Sir Steve in Marietta, Georgia, 6969.
	Here's a little something on top of the 20 per month I've been pledging.
	Slowly working towards the second knighthood from KA1WX. Please forget the Stephen E. Taft is just Sir Steve.
	Okay.
	There you go.
	Jay Doyle.
	Well, did you want karma?
	No.
	No.
	He's good.
	He's good to go.
	Jay Doyle, 69-69 without comment.
	Thomas Badrick in Nutley, New Jersey.
	That's Nutley nuts to you.
	69-69.
	Let's hear two to the head followed by the new Fisco Cliff jingle.
	Oh, wow.
	See, this is weird because I wasn't expecting...
	That is a part of the donations.
	Do we have it?
	Yeah, of course we have it.
	Hold on a second.
	Two to the head, he said.
	All righty.
	Got that for you.
	That one.
	It's not a jingle.
	It's a real guy.
	I push off the cliff each time.
	Yeah, he keeps...
	Why does he keep climbing back up there?
	I don't know.
	It's crazy.
	Does he land in water?
	Because you obviously haven't killed him yet.
	Marc-Andre Lebel in Montreal, Quebec.
	6969 for show 465.
	First time donating to the show.
	I've been listening a couple of months.
	Too bad you don't speak a lot about the crazy shit happening here.
	We have the mayors of the two biggest cities in the province, Montreal and Laval are the two towns, that were forced out for corruption.
	Didn't we read this one on Sunday?
	Yeah.
	It could be a crossover, but I don't see it.
	Hmm.
	It's pretty hard to do because both of these were downloaded properly.
	Yes, because I remember I had to say, Viva le Quebec Libre!
	Okay.
	Well, do it again just in case.
	I might be hallucinating.
	I don't know.
	Let's make sure.
	We have a minority government at the provincial level, which means nothing will happen for a couple of months, which is good.
	Then we have Stephen, I'm not on the G20 pictures because I had to poop.
	Yeah, we missed that story.
	That's a real no agenda story.
	Yeah, I don't know how we missed it.
	Apparently he wasn't in the G20 pictures because he was pooping.
	Yeah.
	I hate it when that happens.
	And it's religious freaks at the federal level.
	Just give me a little girl yay and a parliament mumble and then vive la quebec libre.
	Do you want to say that?
	Yeah, that's what you do.
	I'll do it just in case.
	Wow!
	Vive la quebec libre!
	And that ends.
	69!
	69, dudes!
	It's finally getting down to a manageable few.
	Yeah.
	And I think that was...
	Oh, no agenda.
	We want less donations, so they're manageable.
	Manageable donations.
	So that Marc-Andre LaBelle may have been a double, so he should think seriously about helping us again.
	Alan Bean.
	Sir Alan Bean, our local boy in Oakland, California.
	5555.
	He sent a check in.
	Oh, nice.
	And he sends a check like once a month.
	But this check is from Bank of the West, I believe, and it had more security crap on it.
	It had a magnetic stripe across or one of those shiny stripes across the top with a bunch of crap written on it and then some stuff on the side.
	And there just was a ton of these security things on a check.
	Is this a trend you've seen anywhere?
	Just a check, you know, a check.
	I mean, a check can essentially just be a piece of paper, almost.
	It could.
	It is.
	Just with a number from some institution.
	I'm wondering what they're up to.
	Something's up.
	John Noonan in Davenport, Iowa.
	No comment.
	5555.
	Sir Daniel Hutner in Murphys, California.
	5510.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	Figured how my storable food, heirloom seeds, and water purification would cost for my family a five, and I said, F that!
	In other words, he stopped watching Glenn Beck.
	I'll stick to buying bullets and kicking down some change to you guys.
	I want to call out Scott Shipper as a douchebag since he's been listening to the best podcast in the universe for over a year and has not donated.
	Also, please call out the state of California as a douchebag for just plain sucking.
	Yay for liberty, the Constitution, a well-stocked supply of cold IPA. Hey!
	There you go.
	Thank you, Sir Daniel.
	Good one.
	Yes, that's more like it.
	Now, that's a donation note.
	You know, when you're calling people out, you're telling them like it is.
	We need more of that.
	Yeah, that's what we want.
	Sir Stone in Rapid City, South Dakota.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	Episode one, listener.
	From Twit via JCD, looking out for some shout-out to etsy.com slash shop slash RoryStone.
	And RoryStone.com, that's R-O-R-Y. He's been with us forever.
	Best podcast in the universe and looking forward.
	I don't know, what is he?
	Why don't you look and see what he's got there?
	RoryStone.com?
	I think we've looked at this before.
	Best podcast.
	He wants to be a black knight.
	Calling out all non-donors as big effing douchebags.
	Douchebag!
	Okay.
	Oh, Rory Stone.
	Traditionally different art.
	Interesting.
	You should check this site out.
	Huh.
	Wow.
	He's an artiste.
	An artiste.
	We have artistes that listen to our show, which I think is fascinating.
	Everyone who listens to our show is artistic.
	Our show is a work of art in itself.
	It's performance art.
	Seriously.
	All the dinging and ringing and you screaming about being rudely interrupted and all.
	That's all performance art.
	It's fantastic.
	Just remember who's doing the performing.
	Kevin Payne, $50.01.
	If this check arrives before Thursday, then I will be a knight.
	If it has not arrived, I should be there by the 12-12 show.
	In any case, I should be a knight on one of the next two shows.
	Call me Sir Dr.
	Payne.
	I'm not really a doctor.
	I just play one on TV. Please give me a...
	Adam needs to say something like, I'm not so sure what the moon landing is, followed by a little girl, shut up, slave, and two to the head.
	Then give...
	Alright, let me try that.
	I just have my questions about the validity of the moon landing.
	Shut up, slave!
	That's not bad.
	And, as a teaser, right after this donation segment, I actually have a question about the moon landing.
	Shut up, slave!
	Teaser.
	He finishes with, he can no longer watch, and by the way, this is a common phenomenon, he can no longer watch any news programs because they make his head explode.
	I don't know how you guys are able to do it.
	Well, our heads are pre-exploded.
	John Godwin in Sandy Hook, Virginia, $50.
	Last year I was up for a raise at work and a little purchased karma from No Agenda did the trick.
	Not taking a chance this year, so here's my donation.
	Good one.
	Smart man.
	Smart move.
	He's filling the tank.
	Topping off.
	Topping off the karma.
	Roy Pingel in Brooklyn, New York.
	50 bucks.
	Despite your constant ridiculing of the left, much, much more than other sectors of the political spectrum, though nothing has to be equal, I continue to learn from your deconstructions of the media and the puppets they supposedly come out of.
	John, Adam is right.
	You are a closet Republican.
	Get over it.
	Please keep attacking the hypocrisy and corporate selling out by Obama and the Dems and, of course, by the boners or baners, as it were, McConnells and the Repubs.
	Today, Wednesday, I heard a good interview with Kevin Phillips on Democracy Now!
	about his new book, 1775, A Good Year for Revolution.
	He succinctly attacks the current two parties for being controlled by overlapping slices of the super-rich, as well as his country's fetish for celebrating 1776, but neglecting what was happening in earlier 1775 and 1774.
	Now, can I just say something?
	You've got a new bit here.
	So, on top of the stoner donation, the drunk donation, we now have the a-hole elitist donation, which I really like.
	I think this is a good voice for you.
	This is good.
	But, you know, we should attach a number to it, but it's nice.
	I really like the elitist vibe.
	It's good.
	Yeah.
	He wants a Huntsman Parliament little girl yay.
	Okay.
	Is it a karma or just a combo thing?
	Yeah, he didn't say anything about karma.
	Oh, okay.
	Hans. Peter Feld.
	Peter Petterfeld, Orschlo.
	Hey, but what?
	Like, all of a sudden, we're up there in Scandinavia.
	We're hot in Norway.
	We're not members of the EU. The EU has not donated a nickel today.
	No, that's true.
	Why don't we have a Munich?
	We have a München.
	Brand new ham from Norway.
	LA9STA checking in.
	In Norway, we only got one class.
	You're either an expert in know-how to build your own equipment or you're not a ham, losers.
	I got my call sign right after the test yesterday, but got to wait for my license card to get into Echo Link.
	Love the show.
	Thank you.
	Karma is always appreciated.
	Please keep up the awesome work.
	Let me give him some brand new ham karma.
	Very good.
	Very proud.
	Nice.
	You've got karma.
	Very, very nice.
	Christian Mama, or Mooma, in Brooklyn, New York...
	$50 and he's...
	I do have a story.
	Please continue to tell people to stop going through the dang naked body scanner.
	So I went on to up north and I again went to Oakland to the middle line at the southwest and just a magnetometer.
	Nobody cares.
	Now can I ask you a question?
	Did you go through the priority line as instructed?
	You ask this every time, and every time I say the same thing, I'm going to say it again.
	You have to be an idiot to go through that line because they shunt you over into a body scanner.
	And, wait, and two, didn't I say this on the Sunday show?
	And two, there was no line.
	What difference does it make?
	So in Seattle, they don't have the express line.
	So I got in the regular line, and again, there was no line.
	But this time, I couldn't find it.
	There was one that looks like they were sending half the people through the magnetometer.
	There's some girl pointing this way.
	You go left, you go right, you go left, you go right, you go left.
	And they're running people through the two machines.
	And so I figure I've got to get lucky, so I've got to time it just right.
	So I hit toward the magnetometer.
	She says, no, no, no, you've got to go over to this thing.
	So then I've got to go for the pat-down.
	And I have to say that of all the places you get patted down, and people should just do this, Seattle is very good.
	They bring somebody over right away.
	He's very apologetic.
	And he gives you a pretty good body massage.
	He's kind of rubbing you down every which way, checking the shoulders, doing the whole thing.
	A little tense up there.
	And did you get the valet service where they carried your things from the belt?
	Yep.
	Isn't that nice?
	I love it when you get the massage and the valet service.
	Yep, they brought all the stuff over because I can't touch it.
	No.
	Oh, don't touch!
	Don't touch!
	I love it because, you know, normally if you send your stuff through the x-ray scanner, you're on that end.
	You're like, you know, you have a choice.
	You can either, like, try and dress really quickly and put your shoes on and your belt and your jacket while stuff is piling up behind you and people are looking at you annoyed.
	Or you can gather your stuff, go over to someplace way in the back if you can find a place to set your stuff down.
	There's never enough benches.
	So I really like this third option, which is, hey, would you please carry my stuff for me?
	Thank you.
	And, you know, you get to dress nice and slowly in that area there.
	You take your time, you know.
	Yeah, it's fine.
	It really probably didn't have even three minutes to the whole process.
	I don't see why it was a big deal.
	So Juan was here, and he went back Monday.
	Who?
	Juan, Christina's boyfriend.
	Oh, Juan, Juan.
	Juan, your son-in-law.
	Yes, and he's Mexican with long black hair and a leather jacket.
	And I say, okay, we're at the Austin Berksham Airport, and I'm like, you're going to go through the premium line.
	And I said, don't be looking around, just hold your head up like you are a first-class passenger.
	And he's like, really?
	I said, yeah, you're going to do it, do it, do it, do it, do it.
	And lo and behold, the Mexican with a leather jacket and the long black rock and roll hair, no problem, not a single question, right through the premium line with his coach ticket.
	Telling you people this is the way to go.
	And I'd say that is right on Juan for doing it.
	There was no pressure there.
	Your girlfriend's dad is like, go ahead, do it, do it!
	Go through that line!
	And finally Sir Pete...
	No, I thought that concluded...
	Oh no, I'm sorry, we have two more.
	No, we got two guys left.
	I just want to say thanks to Sir Peter Totes, who donates $50 on lots.
	Regular occasions.
	And Shad Rich in Seattle.
	Who apparently is a TSA agent.
	Who pats you down.
	By the way, when I got patted down, they took the gloves off and then they ran them to the machine.
	Yeah, that's the check for gunpowder.
	I had a long chat with the TSA guy afterwards.
	Really?
	After I have sex with him, I just want to go.
	I don't want to talk.
	I thought you used to have a smoke.
	So I had a long chat about what they're looking for with explosives.
	And I said, then what happens?
	And he gave me the whole process.
	If you want to hear it.
	So if they catch a thing, the thing goes off, then they have to do a second check on everything.
	And what usually triggers it is like somebody, if they've been fertilizing their lawn the day before, they get ammonium nitrate on it.
	Oh yeah, there's all kinds of things.
	And it just goes through.
	What I don't understand is, if I've been in the gun range a day before, nothing ever beeps.
	And I've got to have residue all over me.
	He says that usually gun range does cause a beep.
	No, not on me.
	And then they have to talk to you.
	And then I said, well, what happens if you don't pass the secondary test?
	Because they take you aside and yak with you.
	Right, right, right, right.
	And then I guess, although it doesn't seem to happen a lot.
	The way I see it, not a lot of people are...
	Bringing bombs into the airport.
	The way I see it, let me see, no one has brought a bomb.
	They've caught no terrorist, ever.
	That's the way I see it.
	This is a complete stupid theater.
	It's theater!
	Alright, thanks everybody.
	We appreciate Dvorak.org.
	All of the love.
	And please remember us as you support the best podcast in the universe.
	We are here twice a week, and this is all we do, except for write a lot of books that we forget to publish.
	But otherwise, we're really here for you.
	We're in service of you to watch all that crap and dissect things and bring you, sometimes, yes, two sides of the same coin, arguments.
	It all happens, wouldn't you say?
	This is the best piece of on-the-air analysis, journalism, discussion.
	Very simple show.
	Two people with slightly different perspectives that you're going to find anywhere.
	It's amazing how good the show is.
	And we're not just owners.
	We are also graduates of the Adam Curry School of Podcasting.
	It's your birthday, birthday.
	Crap, there are no birthdays today.
	I was wondering where you're going to go with that.
	Just to lead into drawing the sword, can you draw your sword there?
	Yeah, there you go.
	You're back in San Francisco.
	Yeah, in Berkeley.
	Nice.
	Three nightings today.
	We're so proud to bring forward Jonathan Allen, Andrew Soos, or Soos, Kevin Payne.
	Gentlemen, all of you contributed to the No Agenda Show, the best podcast, the university amount of $1,000 or more.
	Therefore, you join the important...
	of Night of No Agenda Roundtable.
	I hereby pronounce thee, Sir Jonathan, Knight of the Hams, Sir Andrew, and Sir Kevin, gentlemen, for you, we've got hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay, geishas and sake, rubenes, women and rosé, wenches and beer, hot pants and booze, and vodka, mutton and mead, vodka and vanilla.
	And Chippendales and...
	You have to write these down one of these things.
	You know what?
	I had them on...
	I think Mutton and Mead definitely needs to go on there.
	Let me just put it in.
	Hold on a second.
	Mutton and Mead.
	Mutton and Mead.
	Let me just copy this.
	Hold on a second.
	I have it here somewhere.
	This was from memory, which I think is still pretty good.
	It's not easy.
	Yeah, but now it's a little long.
	Who cares?
	And you're hesitating a little bit on and off.
	Well, that's because I'm doing it from memory.
	Yeah, I know.
	That's what I'm saying.
	Right now, it's at a length that makes it very difficult.
	You could do it, but...
	I have it.
	Let me just put this here.
	Okay.
	Mutton and meat, I'll add that to the list.
	Mutton and mead.
	So we have, just to review, Hookers and Blow, Rent Boys and Chardonnay, Hot Pants and Booze, Wenches and Beer, Rubenes, Women and Rosé, Gaishas and Sake, Vodka and Vanilla, Gerbils and Ginger Ale, Mutton and Mead.
	It's almost becoming a song.
	Ready?
	Hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay, hot pants and booze, winches and beer, Rubin's women and rosé, gaishas and sake, vodka and banana.
	Alright, I got a clip that relates to that.
	The $25 food box for Israel.
	Each of these food boxes represents a gift of life for people here in Israel who are in desperate need.
	These are very difficult times for Israel and the Jewish people as the government spends more and more of its resources for battling terrorism.
	Every week, more and more people come and you can see the desperation for food.
	This $25 food box will provide one desperately needy family here in Israel with food, with hope, and with a note inside each of these saying that it's from Christians and Jews in America who seek to bless them.
	Israel and its people need your help now.
	You can make a life-changing difference by calling and saying that you will give a $25 food box to help a family in need in Israel.
	Thank you and God bless you for your support.
	Well, I know that it's bad in Israel.
	I didn't know it was that bad.
	So this is running on Fox constantly.
	Oh, really?
	Must be local.
	Yeah, mostly on Hannity's show.
	So, you know, I don't want to say that people shouldn't be charitable, but we have people in the United States that could use a $25 box of food.
	But, you know, somebody looked into this, by the way, and this is some...
	Bogative operation.
	The food is five bucks worth of food in it.
	So, I do know that the economy is crap.
	The people are starving in Israel.
	I mean, they have protests.
	Mostly in Gaza.
	In the Netherlands, speaking of Israel, a Dutch television show called De Viro Draid Door.
	I've been on this show.
	As the world turns, although it's not the soap opera, but that's kind of...
	So it's like, eh, and the world keeps spinning.
	Is that a new show?
	Eh, it's like a...
	Talk show?
	Kind of daily, you know, actuality...
	Morning show?
	Morning show?
	Evening show.
	Early evening show.
	Ellen show?
	Oprah?
	Like one dude.
	It's kind of popular.
	They re-edited and broadcast Bibi Netanyahu and Hillary Clinton, the famous where she came to settle everything and to make truce.
	I don't know the context of why they did this, but here's how they re-edited Bibi Netanyahu.
	I know that you're very concerned about the civilian casualties.
	Well, we do not share your concern about civilian casualties at all.
	In fact, we're conducting these surgical operations against schools, mosques, hospitals, universities, children, and one of the things that we're doing is trying to maximize the number of civilian casualties.
	We prefer that.
	I know that you understand this, but if not, this is something that I don't have to explain to Americans, President Obama, you, and the international community.
	Welcome to Jerusalem.
	Okay, okay, hold on, hold on.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	Clip of the week.
	Oh, wow.
	But I had nothing to do with it.
	I'm just playing it.
	Ah, you found it.
	You found the clip.
	Well, we don't have week.
	I'll just take day.
	Clip of the day.
	Clip of the day.
	Are you kidding me?
	And that was on television.
	Why?
	That was an epic clip.
	That was an epic clip.
	Jew hatred.
	Clearly edited to make the guy look like an a-hole.
	To make him look like a horrible Palestinian- Was it a joke?
	Was this a comedy show?
	Yeah, this is their version of humor, I guess.
	Wow.
	That's pretty funny, but I don't think it worked well.
	Okay, so it was supposed to be funny.
	The show has these...
	They do this a lot, where they do something that probably sounded hilarious when they were thinking of it, and then they put it on the air, and it's like, what?
	What?
	What have you done?
	And it's like, Jew hatred in Holland is not big.
	I mean, it's not really like a big thing.
	I think during the Second World War, Anne Frank, this whole thing, it's not a big thing to do.
	So I'm not quite sure.
	And this is a left-wing, if I'm not mistaken, a left-wing kind of commie broadcast organization who put this show on.
	But interesting, right?
	Well, of course, what we have, and part of this, and I think it's his own mind control, because we have the big vote coming up.
	In fact, I believe, hold on, let me see, I have a little clippage of it.
	Yes, here we go.
	Now, a major boost for the Palestinian bid to upgrade its status at the UN General Assembly.
	Hey, hey, Palestine, you've been upgraded to business class.
	Come on in.
	Yeah, this is hilarious, this upgrade.
	Come on in, you've got an upgrade.
	Upgrade.
	You have even more space.
	...announced it will be voting in favor of the resolution.
	Palestinians have been rallying in Arafat Square and Ramallah in anticipation of the vote in New York.
	Now, if it passes and it just needs a simple majority to do so...
	Palestinians will be granted indirect UN recognition of statehood.
	There's a great sense of anticipation.
	This is the scene in Ramallah at the moment.
	A lot of people out and about waiting to see if it's going to change their status there, which could grant them...
	This is literally like waiting at the gate for your upgrade.
	Changing the people outside.
	Like, hey, is my name on the board yet?
	Oh, man.
	I haven't been upgraded.
	This is the great dilemma.
	The great dilemma of a traveler today is should I wait for the upgrade and not be able to pack my luggage into the plane because I'll be the last guy on?
	Or should I just go on in hell with it?
	I love the whole calling it an upgrade.
	I love that.
	That's really good.
	That's the way to roll, man.
	Um...
	Okay, here's the second half of the show.
	Very important stuff.
	Uh-oh.
	Yeah.
	Where is it?
	Here it is.
	Did you know about the comet coming by?
	No.
	That's not important.
	It sounds preposterous, but get this.
	The United States actually hatched the plot during the Cold War to possibly nuke the moon.
	So, if you have not read this story about...
	You need to see Blitzer's face when he does that.
	Nuke the moon!
	I'm going to play it again, but then I want you to listen to the setup to the package.
	I'm not going to play the package, because it was an 11-minute package.
	This has been all over the internet, and there's a reason for this.
	It sounds preposterous, but get this.
	The United States actually hatched a plot during the Cold War to possibly nuke the moon.
	Brian Todd's got the latest on this bizarre story.
	I'm tempted to say it, I will.
	What were they thinking?
	Well, Wolf, all sorts of wild ideas were floating around in the halls of government back in the 1950s.
	It was the height of the Cold War.
	Security scares all around.
	American leaders felt they needed to give a jolt to the Soviet Union.
	So at the time, this didn't seem so outlandish.
	So here's what's going on with this.
	Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
	But it's my segment.
	I gotta ask a question.
	But I'm, I'm, yeah.
	You'll be on a roll, but I just want to point out that we couldn't get out of the atmosphere in the 50s.
	We couldn't even launch a satellite.
	How are we going to nuke the moon in the 50s?
	Well, thank you very much, John, because this whole report is rife with all kinds of bull crap.
	And, of course, we still can't really get past the Van Allen belts, but that would be my personal problem that I have with the entire moon landing only a few years after this Bogative report apparently started.
	Propagate some meme.
	This is meant, again, this is mind control.
	It is meant to make you laugh, which it worked, so you're laughing.
	Because we couldn't have done that.
	Which makes you think that we actually have been there.
	This is to enforce that we have been there.
	Enforce, enforce, enforce.
	This is why this story has been planted.
	And at the same time, only last week...
	I said, how long and how many times we have to listen to this bull crap from NASA? And now they come out and they say, no, no, no, there was no special announcement.
	There was no special announcement.
	We're just excited about the whole mission to Mars.
	Could you answer that and tell them that you're doing a show?
	Who was that?
	Who was that?
	Take the phone off the hook.
	Who was that?
	What?
	Really?
	Yeah, some guy.
	A guy you know?
	Yeah.
	He's an a-hole.
	No one's supposed to call during the show.
	Yeah, because they're listening to the show.
	I agree.
	So did you hear the thing about NASA? Yeah.
	I got a topper for you.
	Wait, no, but the thing about the Mars mission...
	You were on the phone.
	Yeah, but Elon Musk.
	What Elon Musk?
	Elon Musk is selling tickets to Mars.
	Okay.
	Really?
	Him and Richard Branson, huh?
	No, he figured that he's always financed his companies by selling stuff in advance like the cars.
	Yeah, like the cars are going to be great.
	Yeah.
	So now he's got a ticket to Mars.
	It's a million bucks.
	Was that Elon Musk who just called you like, hey, is Curry on the NASA segment yet?
	Is Curry on this thing again?
	Don't forget to tell him about my plan to move people to Mars.
	Hey, when is that Richard Branson moon flight?
	Wasn't that supposed to happen?
	Why is that taking so long?
	I'm waiting.
	I know what you're saying.
	When you started the segment, I said to myself...
	Oh, brother.
	This is good.
	This will keep us safe for at least another, I think, 6 to 12 months.
	What do you mean?
	Keep us safe.
	Keep the show safe because, you know, any...
	Because I went off the deep end?
	Is that why?
	These guys aren't dangerous.
	These guys are idiots.
	There's nothing wrong with them.
	They can't do a single thing.
	Nothing.
	Boom.
	Boom.
	You should know about the big comet coming by.
	That's going to be interesting.
	Tell me about the big comet.
	Some comet's coming by.
	It's going to have...
	Does this comet have a name?
	It's a big comet.
	A big comet.
	The comet's going to come by and snap around the Earth.
	And it's going to be...
	The first they thought was going to be 10 times brighter than a full moon.
	Really?
	But the latest calculations when it goes by, 100 times brighter than the full moon.
	No.
	Yes, and it's going to snap around the Earth and light up the place like a Roman candle.
	And when is this thing due?
	When is this thing due?
	Next year.
	Coming soon.
	A very bright comet.
	Okay.
	This is interesting.
	I thought that's where you were going to head with this segment.
	No.
	I thought you'd be right on top of this giant comet.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm off.
	I've been in ham.
	I've been in ham land.
	I haven't been looking at space.
	I just read, you know, whatever comes...
	Oh, I'm surprised the ham, the coots, on the CW, have not been talking about this.
	Well, we did have a coronal ejection a couple days ago, and it's ruined propagation conditions.
	Oh, that's terrible.
	But maybe the bright comet will bring us all kinds of skip.
	Wow.
	Hey.
	You're getting jargon I've never even heard before.
	No, you've heard of skip.
	Certainly you've heard of skip.
	Oh, skip.
	I thought you said skimp.
	No.
	Well, yeah.
	I'll just invent a new word.
	No, skimp.
	Tropospheric bounce.
	Hey, man.
	Skimp.
	What?
	Skimp.
	What's the skimp?
	Curry's on the skimp layer.
	We've got to find that.
	The skimp layer.
	That's nice.
	A third man now accuses the Elmo guy of, in this case, getting him drunk and molesting him.
	How come?
	Here's what I don't understand.
	During the presidential election, we had Big Bird tweeting.
	We had Big Bird jokes everywhere.
	Where's all the funny now, huh?
	And where's Big Bird now saying, you know, I kicked the pedo bear.
	I'm sorry, pedo bear.
	Where's the Elmo?
	I mean, excuse me, people.
	The guy who plays Elmo was molesting children.
	I call for an investigation of all of Sesame Street.
	The whole place may be corrupt.
	Who knows what Grover's doing in the trash can?
	Grover?
	You don't know.
	What about Bert and Ernie?
	They've always been gay.
	Opening of the show right there.
	It's a nose fact.
	Fact.
	Science.
	Facts!
	Science!
	Really?
	I've never seen those guys as gay.
	I guess not.
	Put Bert and Ernie gay into your Googler and you'll find it.
	Wait a minute.
	It's a common meme.
	I'm stunned that you don't know about it.
	Well, no.
	I never thought about them that way and now you've ruined them forever.
	Yeah, they're two gay lovers in that they've been living together.
	Let me see.
	Bert.
	Is Bert with an E? Yeah.
	B-E-R-T-N Ernie, yes.
	Ernie, gay.
	Yeah.
	R, Bert, and Muppet Wiki.
	Shocking gay video.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	Wait a minute.
	There's even a video.
	Here's proof.
	It's a fact.
	Clinching proof that Burton Ernie...
	That's why I'm wearing this blindfold.
	You see, I'm going to feel something with the skin on my hands, and then I'm going to guess what that is without even looking.
	Now, watch this.
	Let me see.
	Oh, wait a second.
	There's something now.
	Gee, I wonder what this could be.
	Ernie!
	No, no, no.
	Don't tell me, Bert.
	Don't tell me.
	This feels kind of soft and fluffy-like, and it's sticking straight up like a shaggy rug.
	No, Ernie.
	No, no, no.
	Don't tell me, Bert.
	Don't tell me.
	I want to guess this.
	Now, let's see.
	Moving down.
	Oh, wait, wait, wait.
	There's more.
	There's so much more.
	Look at this.
	And this kind of feels roundish, and it's sort of squishy-like, and it's like a bath sponge.
	Yes, yes.
	Don't believe this.
	Let's see.
	Moving on down.
	Oh, wait.
	This is interesting.
	Look at this.
	And this part's kind of smooth, and it feels sort of thin, and...
	Wow, it's floppy.
	It's floppy like a garden hose.
	Hey, that's interesting.
	Wait a second.
	I must have missed that episode.
	You're right.
	Yeah, you did.
	Total tube smokers.
	This is disappointing.
	That I didn't know.
	So, yeah.
	Yeah, no, I don't know.
	Nobody wants to talk about Sesame Street anymore.
	It's over.
	Obama took over the country, and that's that.
	Yeah, but it's annoying that there's no conversation.
	I think it's maybe because I saw the documentary, Being Elmo.
	It's about this...
	You know, everybody tells me they've seen this documentary, and they all think it's fantastic.
	I didn't even know it existed.
	Yeah.
	I've never seen it.
	I interviewed the woman who made the documentary.
	I should call her back.
	Hey!
	Did he touch you?
	Kevin Clash, I think his name is.
	Yeah, Kevin Clash.
	Yeah, so this is now the third person that comes out, referred to in court documents as John Doe, claims he was 16 when he first crossed paths with a then 40-year-old clash via a gay chat line, adding he specifically stated his intention to the chat line was non-sexual.
	Later, class visited him when he traveled to New York in hopes of working as a model.
	Yeah, that'll always do it.
	He was still a high school student when...
	Whoops!
	Supposedly he was advertising on Craigslist non-stop.
	Well, in the documentary, and this is what's...
	You have to see this documentary.
	You can get it on Netflix.
	You see a couple...
	First of all, you see all the children who just love Elmo.
	But then you see this kind of like young kid, young black kid, and Kevin Clash is also black, which is the only reason I bring it up.
	And he definitely like apprentices him.
	And I've always felt...
	Is that what they call it nowadays?
	That's what it is.
	I always felt that whole thing between him and the kid was a little creepy.
	And I wonder if he is John Doe.
	Because when you see the documentary, now you go back with this knowledge, you're like, wow, man.
	It's kind of...
	I think it doesn't matter if it's boys or girls.
	40 years old and a 16 year old.
	It's just a little bit too much there.
	The kid's impressionable.
	18?
	Eh, okay, whatever.
	You know what I mean?
	But...
	I mean, it's illegal in many states and countries, whatever, except for the Vatican, where I think you only have to be 13.
	Which is true.
	Fact.
	Fact.
	Vatican City, 13.
	Yeah.
	Let me look.
	Fact.
	We've done this on the show, that's why I know it's fact.
	Because it's science.
	Um...
	No, that's just a little too creepy for me.
	Yeah, well, that's odd.
	I'm looking at the Vatican because you've just done one of your things.
	Is that your only job in life is to check what I'm saying, that I'm not full of crap?
	I'm a fact checker.
	You're full of crap as can be.
	And how often do you fact check me and then go, oh crap, he's right.
	Don't worry.
	I don't do that.
	I'm not keeping score.
	I'm not that type of person.
	Let's see here.
	Vatican, Vatican.
	You know, this show is running overtime.
	It doesn't say.
	It just says that it's blank.
	Oh, I just got to...
	I'll work on it later.
	Stop.
	I did just get fact-checked on the Dutch clip, so you have to take your clip of the day back.
	Alright, then good.
	I want to re-gift you the clip of the day for the moon bombing.
	Okay, I'll take clip of the day for the moon bombing.
	VoidZero, who runs our servers, says this was not...
	On the show, this was a hoax.
	I was hoaxed.
	Okay, I like that.
	Hey, but you know what?
	We were hoaxed, and we're here to say it.
	Wolf Blitzer, on the other hand...
	We admit it being hoaxed.
	It happens to everybody.
	Wolf Blitzer, on the other hand...
	I mean, not to the extent of some, but...
	He gets hoaxed, and then he just...
	Looks stupid in the camera.
	Anyway, most important thing after the show is done today, besides the in-the-morning net, which we'll do on Echo Link Node 3373, I will be reading through the Levinson Inquiry, which has been published.
	The British government...
	This is, of course, based upon the phone hacking scandal.
	Now, the report has been laid out.
	I've only gotten the headlines of it so far, so I'm going to delve into it.
	The recommendation is that there should be a non-industry group, i.e.
	the government, who are going to be in charge of what the press does and how they handle themselves, and this group will be able to hand out fines in the amount of $1.5 million per pop.
	And so essentially the press in Gitmo Nation East will be controlled by the government.
	And that's not just the BBC, it's all of the press.
	So this is going to be a very...
	And of course they have to adopt it, but Cameron has already said we will accept what the Levinson inquiry...
	Because of course everyone has been implicated in this, including Cameron.
	And Cameron was all over this with Rebecca and his boy there.
	There's no...
	Believe me, for these sorts of things, there's no better solution to handing control over to the government.
	You can't do anything.
	That's the obvious thing to do.
	What could possibly go wrong?
	Hand control to the government and you're done.
	You're good.
	You're good to go.
	Fantastic.
	All right.
	Do you want to wrap up with any of your clips of your eight clips that you haven't played? - Uh, Well, actually, I think Conan pulled Jon Stewart and actually put together a nice little series of memes that were propagating.
	I tried to find out where this exactly came from, and I couldn't, but it's quite interesting.
	It's funny.
	Local news outlets across the country have been reporting on this big day, and each station has their own unique spin.
	It's pretty cool.
	It's Cyber Monday, a day on the retail calendar that can be enjoyed from a desk or the couch.
	Enjoyed from a desk or the couch.
	Enjoy from a desk or the couch.
	Enjoy from a desk or even the couch.
	Enjoy from a desk or the couch. From a desk or the couch. From a desk or the couch.
	Or wherever you like, as long as you got internet.
	How do these guys come up with these same words unless they're just using...
	Somebody's writing it.
	Well, that and it's mind control because that is where the president wants you.
	In the middle class, at the desk, or on the couch.
	No other place.
	You can be at the desk working, or you can be on the couch watching television.
	No other place.
	Football, preferably.
	Desk, couch.
	Desk, couch.
	Into the middle class and stay there.
	Desk, couch.
	Desk, couch.
	Into the middle class and stay there.
	You have now successfully been programmed for life.
	Welcome.
	And get to work, slaves.
	So let's run my end of show clip on Sunday.
	Oh, really?
	Oh.
	Yeah, I think we got the shows long enough today.
	Okay.
	Oh, well, that's a big tease.
	That's your Brzezinski clip.
	I'm looking forward to that.
	It's definitely...
	You can listen to it in the meantime.
	No, no, no.
	I'm not going to listen to it in the meantime.
	I want to be surprised.
	All right.
	By the awesomeness.
	We'll run it on Sunday and then everyone will be happy.
	Okay everybody, thank you so much.
	And remember to support the best podcast in the universe.
	It is the least you can do for your own sanity.
	Or you could go and take some Vyvanse.
	I think we're cheaper.
	And more bang for the buck.
	Yeah, we usually get a chuckle.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, some people laugh and cry at the same time.
	I mean, if that's not value, I don't know what is.
	Coming to you from the capital of the Drone Star State here in Austin, Texas, in the morning, everyone.
	My name is Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I've returned, it's, by the way, getting blustery but still not raining.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	I'll be talking to the No Agenda hams on Echolink 3373 after the show, and we'll be back for all of y'alls on Sunday, right here on No Agenda.
	It sounds preposterous, but get this, the United States actually hatched a plot during the Cold War to possibly nuke the moon.
