Put an old 78 on there and you crank it up and you listen to Black Crows.
Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
And Thursday, January 10th, 2013.
Time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 477.
This is No Agenda.
In the shower here in the lowlands of Gitmo Nation, day 36 living in exile in Amsterdam.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's sunny today, and it might not be for long, I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's a crackpot in Buzzkill.
In the morning.
It's incredible.
You know, we do all the levels and everything, and then the minute we start the show, then you're like 20 dBs lower.
That's crazy.
Were you looking away?
Were you talking into the microphone?
Nope, I'm barreling into the mic.
Did you hear my intro?
Yeah, no, we heard your intro.
Dude, come on.
Yeah, but what was interesting about what I said?
Well, there's rarely anything interesting about what you say in the intro.
It's just it was really low in the level.
Yeah, no, but did you know what I said?
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, yeah.
I just, you know, I'm fast.
What did I say?
What did I say?
You said from a northern Silicon Valley where the sun is shining, but maybe not for long.
And why did I say that, you think?
Because maybe it's not going to be shiny for long.
No, because of this.
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
You got your rain stick.
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop it!
No, I'm not going to stop it.
I want to see what happens there in Holland.
No.
Calling out to Holland.
There we go.
Rain stick at work.
It doesn't work here.
It doesn't work in that distance.
Yeah, we'll see.
No, no, no, no.
Stop, stop, stop.
I'm shutting you off.
All right.
Oh, my goodness.
Yet the rain stick finally arrived.
Yeah, well, that's good.
That's good.
Aren't they pretty?
Yeah.
Very nice product.
Yeah, and who did you get it from?
Oh, you know, that's a good question because I forgot her name already.
Yeah, that's very cool.
So, uh, but yeah, she, uh, sent it apparently to the box.
And of course my post office is a bunch of idiots.
So I couldn't, I just only got it yesterday.
And, um, is it, what's her name now?
Is it Sandra?
I feel so stupid now.
You know, I know, I know exactly where she's from.
She's from Utah and Ms.
Mickey's not here.
Otherwise she'd know it because she's always talking.
We're men.
We can't remember anything.
Oh yeah.
No kidding.
No kidding.
Well, so I don't know if you heard my intro.
Yeah.
Or if you care.
36 days in exile.
Well, no, before that, there is a politician here in Gitmo Nation lowlands and has started a new movement here.
His name is Bert Vossink von A.N. Hünse.
Bert Vossink.
Well, Gesundheit.
Bert Vossink.
And he's been in the news for the past two days.
Sherry K. Osborne.
Sherry, there you go.
Good old Sherry.
Sorry, Sherry.
You haven't written since December 18th, so I've forgotten your name.
So this politician has been in the news for the past two days because he has a very important directive for the Human resources of Gitmo Nation Lowlands and how we're going to save the universe.
In fact, not just save the universe, but the lowlands in particular, and we will save 2 billion liters of water per year.
What do you think his idea is?
People should go outside and open their mouth when it's raining?
Close.
Very, very close.
No.
He has suggested that everyone urinates while taking a shower.
Wait a minute.
Don't people do that normally?
Routinely?
This was going to be my point.
Is this a great idea?
Apparently no one's thought of ever peeing in the shower.
This is going to be my point.
What an idiot.
Does this guy think that we're not doing that already?
And this is the news of the day.
I have a great idea.
Let's pee in the shower.
We're calling it peeing for humanity.
I'm telling you.
Oh, we need a shirt.
Pee in the shower.
Well, you've got to have a better slogan.
Pee in the shower.
Yeah, pee for humanity.
But to me, it's like, you know, exactly.
And no one is asking this question, what you just said.
It's like, don't we do?
I mean, come on.
Doesn't everybody pee in the shower?
Well, I guess nobody likes to admit it in Holland.
I mean, I pee in the pool, too.
I know there are people that...
A Jewish friend of mine says the...
He usually says his dad used to say this all the time.
Why is that?
Yeah.
You know, there are Gentiles and goyim.
Yes.
And the goyim is actually an insult.
Yes.
And he says the goyim is somebody who gets out of the shower to pee in the toilet.
Yeah.
That is wrong.
Shouldn't be doing that, stupid slave.
Shut up already.
It's science.
That's right.
Pee in the shower.
It's science.
Yeah.
You know what's good about that clip?
You're right.
It's that little guttural thing she does.
Science!
Let me just hear it again.
You can't even do it.
I mean, it's just...
Let's hear it again.
It takes a woman's voice to pull that off.
Let's hear it again.
Shut up already!
Science!
Science!
I can't do it.
Science!
Science!
Thomas Dolby calling for Dr.
Kiki.
He's doing a remix.
So that has been the big news.
But I would be remiss if I did.
There's another way.
He could have come out and said there's another way to save a billion dollars.
I knew this would obsess you.
I knew this would go nowhere.
You know what it might be?
No!
Not the rain stick!
However, John, the real news is, and this is actually the real news for us, is Miss Mickey has been issued her papers, and we are...
She has her papers!
Yes, she has her ausweis, and she...
Now she can walk.
Yes, and so we are actually leaving tomorrow.
We're not waiting a second.
We're leaving tomorrow.
You're leaving on a jet plane?
Don't know when we'll be back again.
Yep, yep, tomorrow.
Thanks for telling me, because I had plans to visit.
Oh, really?
Yeah, so I'm going to have to cancel, I guess.
Yeah.
Well, it is kind of interesting, because Vonderhelm from Finland, he was going to visit.
Sir Gene is arriving tomorrow.
Yeah, Gene was on his way there.
Yeah, I think we're going to see him at the airport, I think.
Hey, Gene!
Hey!
Well, you're going to see him seated using the free Wi-Fi.
Man, ever since I mentioned that, and we mention it from time to time, but people are like, oh, can I use it?
Can I use it?
And then it's just the response you get, it's astounding to our producers.
And it is kind of cool.
I had to pick up my daughter.
She came in from London last night.
And I was going to try and text her.
By the way, AT&T has cut off my phone, so I can only use Wi-Fi.
And I look at my phone.
You don't even want to know.
Why?
Didn't you pay the bill?
No.
Man, I've had such an argument with AT&T. Oh.
Do you know that they start charging you a dollar a minute if someone calls you on the third ring, even if you don't answer?
If you don't pick up by the third ring, you get charged a dollar.
For what?
For someone calling you.
For a ring?
Because the phone rings and you have to pay a buck.
Yes, and if you don't answer and it keeps going and it goes to voicemail, you're paying for the whole time the person is listening to voicemail and talking in voicemail.
You're paying a dollar a minute.
So if somebody gets on your phone...
And starts yakking away like crazy on voicemail.
Yeah, I get charged for that.
Why?
The voicemail system, isn't it in the cloud in the United States?
Yeah, it's known as a rip-off, John, is what it is.
Oh, rip-off.
So my daughter...
What's the name of the company again?
Yeah, AT&T. Oh, there's no way they can stay in business.
So Christina...
You know, she's over here, and I've got all the international packages and everything, which is very expensive, just putting that on by itself.
That's a scam.
Her mom, of course, is calling her all the time, as mothers do.
And, you know, I get like a $750 bill, dollar bill, for the month of December 9th, January 9th.
And I call her, I say, what are you doing?
This is not possible.
And they say, well, we have all these, you know, one minute, two minute, three minute charges.
Apparently, this is what moms do.
They call and harass the kids.
But she's been doing it like every day.
Why doesn't she just swap out the card and get a local card?
Oh, I'm sorry.
That would be because you can't do that with an AT&T phone, now can you?
It's locked.
It's SIM locked.
Oh, why would you have such a phone?
Don't, don't, let's just, you know, let's just leave, let's just not go down that road because this is going to get me very, very angry.
I can tell.
Because I said to them, I said, because now she, and of course, the idiot kid, as I told her, don't upgrade to iOS 6.
Do not do it, upgrade to iOS 6.
Data's gone out of control.
Right, because it's just automatically doing stuff in the background.
You know, I'm a phone and I'm kind of bored.
No, no, no, not in the background.
When you have data roaming off and you're only on Wi-Fi, it does this.
What?
Yeah, that's part of the problem.
So then I call him up and I said, shut it off.
I want you to shut off data.
No, we can't do that.
I said, oh no, my phone, which is also AT&T, you've just shut it off data.
So, for whatever reason, you can shut it off, yet if I want you to shut it off, you can't shut it off.
Well, you can't shut it off if you racked up a big enough bill.
It's infuriating.
Anyway, there's a little number there that says, what's the number?
Nah, they haven't charged enough yet.
Once it gets up over a thousand bucks, we'll turn it off.
Yeah, exactly.
That'll do you a favor.
So, of course, amidst all of this, what arrives at the beginning of the week An entire ICOM 7200 ham radio 100 watt rig in a Pelican case with a dipole antenna and with a power supply.
The whole thing shows up here.
Dodd Vickers, one of our producers, he's a ham, he took pity on me, and he arranged this ICOM rig.
Wow.
And Agent Orange, our military industrial complex contact here, had it shipped on a C-17 to the embassy and hand-delivered to the house.
Nice!
I tweeted a picture of it.
It's like a 100-pound Pelican case.
So I did like two days of hamming it up, and now it's got to go back.
It's the whole thing.
Can't you just ship it back with you?
No, no, no.
It's going back on another C-17.
I'm not doing that.
I might as well use the C-17.
Yeah, but if you had told me about this, Agent Orange, then I would have put Miss Mickey in the Pelican case.
We would have been home a lot sooner.
A lot easier.
So anyway, it's been like all of a sudden a flurry of just like, oh wow, we can leave.
Ms.
Mickey has her paper.
Maybe she should just stay there.
You have no idea how.
I mean, it's been 36 days.
She's been here for an additional two weeks.
She's been here for more than two months now.
Can she still speak English?
Barely.
I'm like, okay, I'm so happy.
Now, of course, we are being kicked out on Tuesday of our house, so I'm trying to extend that.
There's people that need to come in, so it's not like the ordeal is over, and we don't have another place to go to yet.
I thought you were leaving tomorrow, you said.
No, no.
In Austin.
Our rental in Austin.
Oh, your rental in Austin you're being kicked out of?
Yeah, yeah.
On Tuesday.
Yeah, the 15th.
This is like, people out there must think they're listening to a soap opera.
No, just a little disorganized at the moment, that's all.
It's just...
Anyway, it doesn't matter because I'm upbeat about that.
I'm peeing in the shower.
I feel good about myself.
And we'll be on our way tomorrow.
We fly to Atlanta.
They actually...
And I have to say, the Dutch Consul General in San Francisco...
Called the American Consul General in Amsterdam.
See, now we finally got some networks working.
And they said, okay, hook Ms.
Mickey up.
Well, of course, that couldn't happen for five weeks, but now it happened.
And they did put on her passport, on her visa, a line that says, ESTA record reviewed.
Which should mean, because of course she has a flag next to her name now, that basically says, you know, yeah, we know that there's a problem, a flag, but we reviewed it.
Don't take her into secondary.
So we'll see.
Yeah, you will.
It's very possible because we get into Atlanta late, you know, and we have like an hour and 45 minutes to clear customs and grab our bags and go to the Atlanta-Austin flight.
We may very well wind up staying in Atlanta, depending on what happens.
Yeah, yeah.
You got your DHS guys are going to look at that and go, what's this?
What's this mean?
Yeah, I know.
And you're going to say, well, it means blah, blah, blah.
And you go, I don't know.
I don't know.
Stand over here.
Stand over here to the side a little bit.
I've got to get a supervisor.
Stand over here.
Hey, Bill, the supervisor working?
Ah, she's on her break!
We'll be back in an hour!
And it turns out that, I was reading a report, I have it here somewhere in, I think it's probably Gitmo Nation heading here, yeah.
Immigration leads federal law enforcement spending, according to the Washington Post.
Can you believe that?
That they have spent the most money in all of law enforcement on immigration.
No wonder that this stuff happens.
They've got to justify their existence.
Yeah, so they're just going to harass you.
You're going to be lucky.
It's going to surprise you, whatever happens.
You may just go flying right through.
Could be.
By the way, what happened when I was pickpocketing, they had to get a replacement passport.
It's this crummy little thing with one page in it.
And I figured, oh, brother, this is going to be a hassle.
But when I got to the control, the guy says, oh, yeah.
And he says, oh, okay.
But you know why, don't you?
Because apparently everybody gets pickpocketed in Madrid.
No, no.
That's because Agent Orange put in the calls for you.
Well, that's a possibility.
Yeah.
Whatever the case was, the guy says, yeah, you and everybody else got pickpocketed.
Get out of here.
He said, wait a minute.
Was she a hooker?
Was she a hooker?
Yeah.
She was a gypsy.
Ah, a gypsy.
Okay, go on.
$18 billion the U.S. government spent on immigration enforcement in 2012, 24% more than it spent collectively for the FBI, the DEA, the Secret Service, the U.S. Marshals, and BATF. Yeah.
I mean, but for harassing people.
Yeah, that means you're going to be hassled, of course.
For harassing people.
There's no doubt about it.
Oh, man.
It's crazy.
Here we got another one.
Yeah, yeah.
What's that sign?
Say again on the card or the pass?
What is it?
ESTA? ESTA? Mm-hmm.
What does that mean?
That's the electronic something.
It's basically the visa waiver program.
So it's going to go like this.
Hey, Bill, we got another ESTA. Thanks.
It's going to say ESTA record reviewed.
Okay, it says review your record.
No, no, it says it's been reviewed.
It says ESTA record reviewed.
No, no, no.
That's not what it means.
It means to review your ESTA record.
That's what we got to do.
You stand over here.
All right.
You, sir, you can go in.
Oh, yeah.
I can go in.
I know.
I have the papers.
The papers.
But, of course, while all this was taking place, once again, we did not win a single award in the podcast awards.
Of course not.
They're won by people that have access to bots that vote constantly.
We were in the political news segment, I think, and it was...
Who won that?
It was like some leftist talk show guy.
Like a guy who used to be on Air America.
David Parkman?
That guy?
No, I don't think that's his name.
He really stinks.
Tom Hartman?
He still has a podcast name.
No, no, no.
No, it wasn't him.
It was...
Hold on.
Podcast...
Awards...
Podcast...
I don't know.
I don't know who it was.
Yeah, but we were promised to get the only title we care about.
The best podcast in the universe!
We once again did not get.
Oh, Young Turks won Best Video Podcast.
Well, enjoy that.
Really?
You're not going to be on TV much longer.
They're out to get that guy.
Yeah.
Enjoy that.
Then here it is.
Why would Young Turks win Best Video Podcast?
I don't know.
Maybe it's really good.
It's the same that they play on Current.
It's not that good.
It looks Russian.
Glenn Greenwood.
No, not Glenn Greenwood.
The majority report with Sam Sater.
Never heard of him.
No, me neither.
Sam Sater.
I listened to an episode.
I'm like, annoying voice.
I just don't knee-jerk stuff, right?
Same old analysis?
Same old stuff everybody else does?
No, he's a freemium model, so you get like 45 minutes, and then if you pay money, then you get the whole show.
Boo.
Boo.
That's no good.
Anyway, I would like to, because this of course is what everyone is really waiting for, I would like to start off By congratulating Alex Jones on completing his mission as an agent of the American government and setting back the Second Amendment movement in this country by about 50 years.
Good job.
Yeah, I agree with that.
When I saw this, and of course we get a lot of email of people thinking this is so good.
But in fact, you could tell by the way Pierce handled it, Because you can see when he's easily rattled.
He wasn't rattled.
This whole thing was scripted.
Well, the thing that you have to see, what I noticed immediately, he was not behind the desk.
This show was typically done with Pierce on one side of the desk and the guest on the other side.
They had two stools up in front, like they're in the actor's studio, literally on a stage.
Alex Jones has his script in his hand, and he was the only one talking, so it was almost like a monologue.
And it was so obviously set up.
I mean, you can't tell me that anyone who has been in the media business for 20 plus years, as Alex Jones says, did not know that what was going to come of this was that he would become the poster child for all things crazy.
In fact, I just have a few clips, very short, of the lunatic stuff.
Let me start by saying I was going to just avoid this topic, but I have no problem discussing it.
No, no, because I have a couple things that are interesting that need to be discussed.
In fact, so here's just some short clips.
This is actually a chunk there from the best video podcast in the world.
All right.
Now, I don't know if you've seen Alex Jones, but he's a nut.
He believes in every conspiracy there is in the world.
But if you weren't sure about it, well, he went on Piers Morgan last night because he's the guy that started the movement to get Piers Morgan kicked out of the country.
And madness ensued.
Okay, so that's Chunk.
Then we have MSNBC. Do the Shocks have guns?
How does this apply?
Listen, Alex, I know there's a lot of sides to the gun control debate, but there's one thing we can all agree on.
After watching you act like this, there is not one person in the United States of America who would say, let's get that guy a gun.
I'm done talking now.
Totally agree!
Totally agree!
Here's more on CNN. Last night he kind of went off his rocker telling peers that more guns mean less crime.
Welcome back to Early Start.
It's 11 minutes past the hour.
Firework...
This is a continuous...
Every hour they updated the story on CNN....on Piers Morgan's show as he sat down with the guy who wants to see him deported.
Radio host Alex Jones created the Deport Piers Morgan petition to protest the CNN anchor's anti-gun position.
And last night, he brought the crazy and rambling pro-gun tirade.
Rambling tirade!
Take on firearms!
It doesn't matter how many lenders you get out there on the street.
This, by the way, was perfect.
He knew exactly what he was doing.
Making four have their guns taken.
We will not relinquish them.
Do you understand?
And let's get more crazy.
Okay, so that guy has, by his own count, like 50-something guns.
Just put that in your back pocket for a moment.
Just wait, you know, that's the crazy people who got 50,000 guns.
Okay, so it's very obvious that this was set up to create this type of a response.
And of course, what you get from that then is guys on YouTube who have gun shows doing stuff like this.
Hi, this is Jim Shaker for Tactical Response, and I'm kind of mad right now.
I just got a news update.
Today is the 9th of January, 2013, that Vice President Biden is asking the President to bypass Congress And use executive privilege, executive order to ban assault rifles.
Now listen how this guy's cadence is going to increase just like Alex Jones.
To impose stricter gun control.
Fuck that.
I'm telling you that if that happens, it's going to spark a civil war, and I'll be glad to fire the first shot.
I'm not putting up with it.
You shouldn't put up with it.
And I need all you patriots to start thinking about what you're going to do.
Load your damn mags, make sure your rifle's clean, pack a backpack with some food in it, and get ready to fight.
I'm not fucking putting up with this.
I am not letting my country be ruled by a dictator.
I'm not letting anybody take my guns.
If it goes one inch further, I'm going to start killing people.
Okay, so this is a setup, okay?
Now, the things Jones said, by the way, I don't disagree with them.
them.
But to do this in this scripted manner, to create this incredible tension between pro and anti and crazy and not crazy was, I mean, it's the worst thing he ever could have done if he was sincere, which I am now convinced he is not.
CNN, of course, with Piers Morgan, ratchets this all up and talking, you know, about killing Alex Jones.
This This is all built into it, and Alex Jones, of course, immediately is putting these videos on his website.
This debate is raging as it has done for a long time in America.
Do you believe that Sandy Hook represents any kind of tipping point in favor of new gun control legislation?
This guy who's talking now is actually a sports writer.
This is how low they've sunk.
That was born in violence, that loves the image of the frontiersman and the cowboy.
And having guns, you know, there was a lot of protest.
I think the only politician who's really trying to do anything is Michael Bloomberg.
I don't see President Obama doing very much.
I mean, we had another incident in Aurora, Colorado, where he did nothing.
Mitt Romney did nothing.
Yeah, Mitt Romney had nothing to do when he was running for president, idiot.
Yeah, what could he do?
What do you mean Mitt Romney did nothing?
It's an idiot.
But this guy is brought on to do the killing threat.
Check it out.
This argument, how can we possibly have assault weapons?
And frankly, why do we need guns?
We don't need guns.
We have 10,000 murders a year.
As you tried to tell that big fat idiot last night, how many murders by gun were there in England?
What, 33?
Oh, 33!
It's pathetic, but I don't see any change.
It is pathetic.
It is ridiculous that you are allowed.
I don't care what the justification is, that you are allowed in this country to own a semi-automatic weapon, much less a handgun.
But what do you need a semi-automatic weapon for?
The only reason I think you need it is, Pierce, challenge Alex Jones to a boxing match, show up with a semi-automatic that you got legally, and pop him.
I'd love to see that.
In uniform.
I'd love to see that.
Oh yeah, in uniform.
So these people are essentially, that's very interesting.
Well wait, wait, but there's more.
No, they're all for the peacemaking, oh no guns, but they'd love to see that.
Kill him.
Kill him.
So, Pierce Morgan, who of course is obviously in on this, he calls in to the CNN morning show, and I have two little clips here that really explain...
Well, first of all, this first one will explain exactly the timing of all of this, along with Sandy Hook, obviously.
You know that CNN has a new boss that came in.
Is it Jeff Zucker?
Is that who it is, John?
You know this guy, don't you?
Yeah, the guy who screwed up NBC. He's the guy who put Leno in at 10 o'clock.
And then had to fire Conan to put Leno back to his old hour.
That's Zucker.
The guy is, and if you look back, he is terrible.
He's terrible.
He's an incompetent, terrible person.
But he's also a hatchet man.
Oh, yeah.
No, he's a hatchet man.
No, he's firing people left and right.
This whole C&T. Ah, ah, let's listen to what Pierce said this morning.
There are 300 million guns in circulation.
You're never going to get those out of circulation.
So you have to be realistic in the goals and in what you're trying to achieve.
What I've noticed since I've been on air at CNN, nearly two years now, two years next week, is there has been a proliferation.
Contract renegotiation, two years next week.
Oh, yeah.
Hello!
Contract time.
And by the way, it didn't work.
I mean, they still only had 100,000 people in the age group 18 to 34, and 200,000 people in the age group 34 to 100, which is like...
Yeah, you got a lot of traction online, though, and you saw it in your email.
Yes.
Now...
He said something else during this fantastic interview.
It just blew me away what he's going to say at the end of this clip.
Because it shows, to me, if you want conspiracy theory, this sets it up.
I literally am out of time, but I have to go there next.
The White House actually responded to this petition that's, I think, over 100,000 petitions to have you kicked out.
They have to respond to this.
This isn't a joke.
Yes, it is.
It's a complete joke.
They only respond to what they want to respond to, you idiot.
What did they say?
Well, it's very interesting.
I thought Jay Carney, the White House spokesman, said two things.
One, that they would be making a formal response.
So President Obama will decide whether I'm going to be deported or not.
He does not.
You see how he's making this into something real?
This has nothing to do with Obama deturning whether you're going to be deported or not.
Complete malarkey, this.
But I thought there was a clue, perhaps, to that decision-making thought process in the second part of the statement, which said that they wanted to remind people that they respect the right of freedom of expression, which is, of course, a constitutional right under the First Amendment.
And there is an irony here, actually, about people who want to deport me for supposedly attacking the Second Amendment.
And yet that would in itself be a flagrant breach of the First Amendment, the freedom of speech, Stand by.
Particularly with the press.
It's noted there.
And I think that...
This debate has to be had.
It has to continue.
It cannot be allowed to die just because a story fades out after a couple of weeks.
There will be another mass shooting in America in the next few months, and we all know this.
Oh, I'm sorry.
John, did you know this?
Did you have this information?
No, I mean, they only happen once every couple of years, generally.
No, no, no.
In the next few months, and we all know this.
We all know this.
We all know this.
I mean, he must be talking about some group that he's in, because I don't know this.
I don't know this.
We all know this.
Well, they all know it, whoever they are, this group.
Well, he says, we all know this.
There will be another mass shooting in America in the next few months, and we all know this.
Unbelievable.
So, I only have one more clip, and then I can move off of this, but I want to make it very, very clear.
This is my position, and I have long suspected that this was going on.
I have long suspected this, but now I know for sure.
It started with trumping up some noise by not wanting to take off his shoes at ATX on his way to New York for the interview.
Total malarkey.
Right, with a photo of him.
Coincidentally, a perfect photo of him shaking his finger at a TSA guy that was on the net.
Who took that picture in the first place?
The whole thing was staged.
It's all staged.
But the sad thing, in a way, is that what he says...
I agree with, mostly.
Certainly, the suicide pills and everything, it makes total sense.
But you're not going to, not a single person who watches Piers Morgan, unless they already are on board with some basic reality, you're not going to affect a single person.
And anyone could have told him this.
He should know this.
You cannot do this, and particularly the way that was set up, you're only going to create more tension and make everyone who listens to or watches any of his programming, but anyone who even slightly is related to an alternative media source, you're going to turn them into complete outcasts.
And that's everyone who is already listening to our show as well.
So the thing that...
I'm going to wrap this up with that is not going viral everywhere on YouTube is what happened after Jones was on with Piers Morgan, with Alan Dershowitz.
And that's the conversation where it's very, very important because here's a lawyer and his credibility is going to be established and then he's going to start putting legal terms on On individuals who believe that there's a right to owning a gun, just who are against the legislation that is forthcoming, people who have an alternative opinion.
And this is the really, really, it's very well done to have this set up and then bring in a lawyer like Dershowitz, a very famous lawyer.
Is he really a divorce lawyer initially?
Is that what he's famous for?
You know, Dershowitz is famous for being a civil rights attorney, and a hard-ass one.
He's extremely left, mean-spirited, guy you don't want to come across in a dark alley.
Right.
So, you know, if you label yourself a crackpot, or if you're labeled a crackpot, or if you listen to a crackpot, you're going to have a problem.
Now, we're going to stop this three or four times throughout the clip.
Okay.
I want to bring in Alan Dershowitz, who's agreed to defend me from deportation.
Very kind of you.
You defended John Lennon, no less.
Okay, so he's going to defend Pierce Morgan, and let's establish his credibility.
You know, he defended John Lennon, who, of course, we only know as the peace-loving beatnik.
So Pierce Morgan now comparing himself to John Lennon.
Very smart move.
Interesting encounter there with Alex Jones.
He's the guy behind this petition to have me deported.
Uh...
He's really one of the reasons why I'm so concerned.
Do you see where this is going, people?
About the lack of gun control in America.
He's a man that owns 50 weapons.
He has a sort of pathological view about it.
He seems unhinged to me.
The irony of these gun rights guys saying to me that I'm rude to them won't be lost on my regular viewers, I'm sure.
All ten of them.
I try to stay calm.
And really, there's no other way of dealing with him, because he's just a sort of ranting guy who doesn't want anybody to grab his guns.
You see, so Jones has not even left the studio, and this is already taking place, because this was the setup.
This was what was meant to happen, and I know Jones is complicit in this.
No sense of awareness about the wider issue of a particular type of weapon being used to commit these mass outrages.
Well, we lawyers refer to people like that not as witnesses, but as exhibits.
Ooh, an exhibit!
Here you go, because it's evidence, John.
That's what's going on.
It was an exhibit, like a piece of evidence.
You just see him speaking, and you say to yourself, I don't want that man to have a gun.
I wouldn't feel comfortable having an argument with him in his home, where he had access to his 50 weapons.
And if he got really mad at something I said, or if I disputed his contentions, or I told him he was lying about the FBI statistics.
So, wow.
I like the way they do that.
That was very good.
Slick, isn't it?
We don't know that he was lying about the FBI statistics, but you throw it in and model it that way, and it's absolutely stunning.
But there's more.
The people who eat this stuff up are the ones who scare me, but go on.
Hey now.
And that he was lying about the claim.
Listen to even his cadence.
At first it's like, I'd be afraid to go to his house because he's got 50 guns in his home.
And he would shoot me if I disagreed with him.
And he was lying.
And he was lying.
More guns equal less crime.
I would be worried he would grab for his semi-automatic.
Semi-automatic.
What really would concern me about somebody like him is the amount of influence.
He has a growing influence.
Now this is for you, citizens, for all of you listening.
Yeah, millions of people listening to him.
Some of his YouTube rants have got tens of millions of people watching them.
And he foments this fear of a tyrannical regime, and that is why everyone in America needs to be armed with AR-15s.
And it's the stuff of nonsense, isn't it?
Well, it's much more dangerous than nonsense.
I mean, he was essentially comparing President Bush to Adolf Hitler.
Yeah.
I don't remember that part, but okay.
I think he was comparing Obama to Adolf Hitler.
Did he say Bush?
That's what Dershowitz just said.
Yeah, because Dershowitz wants to make sure the association is still with Bush as a bad guy as opposed to even bringing Obama's name into the conversation.
Of course.
Nonsense.
I mean, he was essentially comparing President Bush to Adolf Hitler.
Yeah.
He was saying that somebody, the criminal illness within our banks, the Bloombergs...
Throw some Jewish names out there.
You can't dismiss him as just a crackpot because millions of Americans tune in to him now on a daily basis and believe what he says.
That is why, to me, he's a very relevant guest here, and he perfectly exemplifies...
But the reason you perform such a great service by having him on is he usually preaches to his own little paranoid choir.
Paranoid!
People who listen to him are either listening to him for entertainment purposes the way I sometimes listen to Rush Limbaugh.
Or because even if you listen for entertainment purposes, you're contaminated.
It's a fact.
Science is in.
We're all going to die.
You get all kinds of kudos for putting this package together.
I'm sorry?
I think this package is fantastic that you're produced here.
Oh, well, I have a little more just about the war on ammo in general.
Get back to this Dershowitz.
Any more from him?
No.
The guy's a propaganda machine.
It just spews out of him.
He's good, isn't he?
He does misdirection when he refers to things.
He has all the right talking points built in in a very unique way, the way he throws in semi-automatic.
He's not going to bring a pistol out and shoot you.
He's going to bring out a semi-automatic...
By the way, in his semi-automatics that we're going after right now, not handguns.
We can do that later.
Yeah, of course.
It's amazing how...
I mean, he is really one of the most dangerous men in America, Dershowitz.
He's really out...
I mean, like I said, you run into him in an alley.
God knows.
I mean, this guy is good.
So, just to wrap up this part, Jones, if he didn't know that this was going to be the result, then he's dumber than I thought.
And I'm sorry.
You know, there's way too many things he's done in his show that I have personal knowledge of.
I mean, he talks about, you know, with the Berkeley riots, he talks about a number of things that I have personal knowledge of, and he's wrong.
He just, he lies.
He does lie.
Well, I don't care about that.
So I don't think he's dumb.
I don't think he's dumb.
I think he was complicit.
I think this was scripted.
I think he was brought on for a purpose.
He figured he can get his numbers up because, again, there are people that think it's like you played the gun nut guy.
And you can see that he goes into this crazy rant.
There's a lot of people that feel that way.
They feel like they'd love to be yelling at Pierce Morgan.
And so they actually associate...
There are people that actually associate and sympathize with Alex Fields.
Yes, yes, yes.
And they think it's great that he's screaming at these people, not realizing that they're being used.
Completely being used, and they're basically painting a target on their head.
And then, you know, just following through with the theory...
It seems like, and also now that Pierce Morgan says, you know, we're going to have another shooting within the next few months.
We all know it.
Yes, it makes sense because you're building up this incredible tension, which was done specifically, specifically by Jones in this case, to just build up tension and to make people crazy.
Now, are there problems?
Is there stuff I disagree with?
Yes.
Yeah, I mean, this is a problem to me.
The president is going to act or executive orders, executive action that can be taken.
We haven't decided what that is yet, but we're compiling it all with the help of the attorney general and all the rest of the cabinet members.
I mean, of course this is a real problem.
I'm against an executive order that would have some kind of...
I've got a problem with that, but don't let yourself get used and get angry and go grab your guns and your sandwiches and go shoot people.
This is crazy.
In fact, you know what I'm really afraid of?
This is what's going on.
This is really scary.
Born in a handgun in Seattle, you can pick up a $100 gift card for online shopping at Amazon.com.
I'm afraid of this stuff.
People are going to go in droves.
Oh yeah, no, sales skyrocket if there's a threat of a pullback.
No, no, no, you didn't hear it.
This is gun buyback.
Oh, you mean, yeah, you buy a gun, you get a card.
No, no, no.
This is if you hand your gun in, you get the Amazon gift card.
No, this is hand your gun in, you get an Amazon gift card.
What?
Yeah, this is in Seattle.
I love you.
If people are that dumb, let them hand their guns in and get a gift card.
People are dumb.
So, just a few clips on the war on ammo now, because, of course, no one is really talking about Sandy Hook.
You know, there's no real investigation being done.
There's just nothing being done, because why bother?
You know, we already have the argument that...
But the point's been made.
Yeah.
Well...
You made a point the other day that I went out and made a little compilation, especially for you, a little JCD compilation, because in the whole Sandy Hook thing, which by the way, we're not going to get into that because there's so much...
We decided not to.
But you had one remark that stuck in my brain, and it was, do we even know if this kid, this Adam Lanza, existed?
You remember you said that?
Yeah.
So here's a compilation of just some mainstream media stuff about his existence.
Did you say, was Adam, maybe something went wrong with him?
I don't remember Adam, except when he was a child.
Reporters have been asking around if anybody knows them on the block, and nobody knows them, which is...
It's odd for this neighborhood.
It's very odd because a lot of people in this neighborhood know each other.
And if they don't know each other, they know of somebody.
And even someone we spoke to who lived just two doors down from the Lanza said they had very little information about the family and didn't really know Adam Lanza.
What's so interesting, Wolf, is that about three years ago, back in 2009, it's really the last time we had any hard record of any classes he took, any courses he was enrolled in.
After that, right at the time that the divorce was finalized, it seems that Adam Lanza simply fell off the face of the earth.
There is no record of anything that he did, what he may have accomplished, who he met with.
We've had a very difficult time even finding friends who knew him from the period 2009 on.
So he existed, but he existed in a world that really nobody knows about, Wolf.
I'm loving your theory, though, John.
I'm liking it a lot.
The thing that triggered my thinking, although I didn't think much of it, was that one guy, this one character, the neighbor who knew Adam Lanza as just a kid.
He's just a kid.
I can't imagine him doing anything.
He's just a kid.
That same guy was re-scripted and showed up on a different show.
Mm-hmm.
Saying something, you know, leaving all that out and saying it was terrible and all the rest of it.
I thought it was peculiar that, you know, because there's a bunch of people that show up.
Nowadays, you have everybody's own reports, and I think people should go check out the little Adam Curtis documentary on this.
All the reports nowadays, there's no experts involved.
They don't go to...
You know, they don't ask a professor about Syria.
They go on the street and the public becomes the voice of knowledge or the conduit to the truth.
And they say, what do you think about the situation in Syria, man on the street?
It's terrible.
The man should be overthrown.
We need to send our troops in.
What is this guy?
Why are they asking him?
He doesn't know anything.
But this is what happens.
Now, all news started in the late 60s, it mushroomed in the 70s, and now everybody on the street is subject to having a microphone thrown in their face and asked some sort of a policy question on international law or whatever, or in this case, the shootings.
You think guns should be abolished?
It's really deteriorated to such an extreme that that's, I think, one of the reasons people listen to our show.
And they get sick when they watch the real news.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It physically can make you ill.
And so, you know, we don't deal in the, although I love them and I put lots of links in the show notes, 477.nashownotes.com.
We're just not going to participate in all of the stuff, you know, like the cash documents that were created before it all happened and the photoshops and all this.
That is not what we do.
What we do is we assassinate the media, we deconstruct what the media is saying.
So I'm going to give you a one-minute, you'll be able to deconstruct this yourself, but a one-minute deconstruction of the latest evidence according to NBC. So, you know, these are the big guys.
These are not just little Mickey Mouse news networks.
These are big, big news organizations.
It continues to be a very complex investigation, and there's a lot of contradictory information out there, but there is some new information this morning from a couple of federal officials.
And state officials.
They say now that there were actually four handguns recovered inside the school.
Not just two, as we were initially told.
Four handguns, and apparently only handguns, that were taken into the school.
We knew that Adam Lanza, the man said to be the gunman here, also had an assault style, AR-15 style rifle that he had taken to the school that was in the car he drove there, his mother's car.
But we've been told by several officials that he left that in the car.
So let's just remember what the medical examiner said.
Everybody, death was caused by, everyone we've completed so far was caused by gunshot wounds.
All the wounds that I know of at this point were caused by the long weapon.
Okay.
Just want to make sure I remember that properly.
So only handguns, yet all the wounds were created by the long weapon.
Great.
Which was in the car.
Which was in the car.
Now, moving on to just the...
This is why we don't...
We're not going to do this anymore.
No, we're going to.
But I am going to call out Jon Stewart.
Who, of course, throws his hat into the ring for the war on ammo debate.
I happen to be in Gitmo Nation lowlands.
As you know, just while we were here the other week, there was a murder of two people within five-minute driving distance from where we are, machine-gunned to death.
Not semi-automatic, full-automatic.
Machine gunned to death in their vehicle.
As for violent video games, yeah, I guess they're out there.
But then again, the Dutch spend more than twice as much on video games as we do and have less than a tenth of the gun violence.
Although, to be fair, most of their games are of the first-person dyke-plugger genre.
Yeah, but you're wrong, Jon Stewart, because there's incredible gun violence here.
The politician who was going to win the election was assassinated by a crazy animal rights activist two weeks before the election, Pim Fortan.
Then the Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh was machine gunned down and a knife stuck in his chest with a note after releasing a movie.
No, no, no.
Shut up, Jon Stewart.
You're an a-hole.
Well, there you have it.
Yeah, there you have it.
And then there's just all kinds of just crazy stuff.
Slave training.
This is what it's going to end.
This is funny.
Very sadly, we've been seeing more emergency situations like the Colorado theater shootings and the Connecticut school shootings.
Law enforcement personnel, first responders, even civilians are getting training for dealing with them.
CNN's Miguel Marquez got a first-hand look.
Miguel is joining us now live.
Miguel?
Yeah, Wolf, there are so many of these shootings now.
It's creating a whole new industry in the world.
So many of these shootings!
It's a new industry.
It's a new industry!
...of security.
It is a very chilling sign.
Chilling!
Chilling.
You got a code word, by the way.
Lock down, lock down, lock down.
Lock down, lock down, lock down!
It's called active shooter training.
Come back here!
So this is active shooter training.
They are now training the freshmen at the San Diego University how to deal with an active shooter in the school.
I mean, this is insane.
This is literally gone to pure insanity.
It's great.
Yeah.
Well, let's thank a couple of people before we continue.
Well, we can't do that.
Why?
Because I haven't said, in the morning to you, John C. Dvorak.
Sometimes you say in the morning to me afterwards, but since you said it, I'll say back to you in the morning to you, Adam Curry, and also in the morning to all ships to see if there are any left.
Boots on the ground and subs in the water.
I think we still have a submariner out there.
And also to all our knights and dames for helping us...
Keep the show going in the slow months, which will be January, February, and March, from the looks of things.
Yeah, I also want to thank Martin J.J. for the artwork once again.
It's funny, we love his artwork so much that when we see he has great art, we groan.
We do.
Like, oh no, not Martin J.J. again.
It's horrible.
It's so good.
I know.
And I don't want him to...
He bailed out for a few weeks.
We don't want that anymore.
If he's got a good idea, just send it in.
Just rock it in.
And let people compete with...
Right now, he's at the top of his game.
We went back and we looked at his older stuff.
He's been sending in artwork for a couple of years.
A long time, yeah.
And it's only recently where he got...
He hit it.
He just hit it.
He just hit it.
Yeah, all of a sudden, this is like every...
Whether you're a musician or you're a writer, all of a sudden, you get good.
You don't know when it's going to happen, but you do have to stick with it.
And he stuck with it, and stuck with it with some really dreadful stuff, to be honest about, looking back a couple years ago.
And now it's just like you've got five, six pieces, and his is a clear-cut best.
Absolutely.
And, of course, you can always see all of the art at noagendaartgenerator.com.
It's also kind of cool in the Google Plus group that Nick the Rat is posting, even if he doesn't get chosen, he's posting his art.
This is good.
There is a whole artistic community.
There could be a battle eventually.
Don't you think I like a public opinion on my art being better than Mark J.J.'s art?
A battle.
Please.
I also want to say in the morning to all of the human resources in the chat room, noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net, and just because I've been scrolling by, I'm just going to say, no, Alex Jones did not do this to go and get some promotion to promote his show.
He knows there's no ratings on CNN. This is bull crap.
And I tell you, John, of course, what's going to happen now, lightning rod and ground wire strap, is like I'm going to get attacked so hard for saying this.
And you'll just go...
I never get any negative email about that.
Everybody loves me.
Well, it wasn't my report.
It was yours.
But although I contributed to the thesis, I'm totally in agreement with this.
Okay, good.
And I think people that, you know, if you don't like our show, and there are people, and that bothers me about the Google Plus thing.
There are people in there that don't like our show.
It's obvious to me.
Really?
I haven't seen that, actually.
No.
Yeah, there's some kid.
There's a few of them.
And it's like, they really need...
Hey kid, get off my community group!
It's not my group, but I can see this happening.
We had that other group.
The forums.
The forum that began.
Next thing you know, all they're doing is, you know, we can do a better job.
They started their own podcast, which died, of course, because it was no good.
This kind of thing happens constantly.
I find it peculiar, but it's like, okay, well, you've got to live with it.
Anyway, we do have a couple of executive producers.
It's a slow day.
No, we have one.
We have two.
We have one executive and one associate executive.
So our executive, of course, is one of our regulars, Sir Dwayne Melencon.
Of course.
You wouldn't expect to see someone new show up.
Yeah, Tigard came at $479.69.
ITM and Happy 2013, having spent a few winters in Holland, including one year over a weekend.
Heyo!
No, including one year when they did the Elf...
What is that?
Elfstadentocht is the 11-city skating competition on natural ice on the canals.
Oh, okay.
I think the last time was like 1996 or something, and before that it was 1972.
Every year when it gets cold, the committee comes together, and then besides peeing in the shower, it's like, hey, we're going to have that 11-city skating competition?
No?
Well, back to peeing in the shower then.
Anyway, he agrees.
I agree having him on the off-news cycles has helped the show.
Agrees with somebody.
Please give all the knights some 2013 karma, so hit that karma shot.
Absolutely.
You've got karma.
Sir Matt Greensmith in Melbourne.
Victoria, Australia.
ITM again, guys.
A contribution.
Make sure you make it through January.
41st birthday call out on myself.
We got that listed.
In regards to the definition of middle class, there's another reason politicians use that term.
If you ask people to define themselves, almost everybody thinks of themselves as middle class.
No one considers themselves lower class unless they are really below the poverty line.
And most people that are actually rich will self-identify as middle class unless they're actually part of the 0.1% of the super elites.
Mm-hmm.
So it's a mental trick politicians and marketers like to use.
If you say you are doing something for the middle class, then refuse to define it.
And refuse to define it.
More than 90% of the people believe they are being included.
When in reality, you probably affect less than 30%, depending on the definition, of course.
Thanks for all you guys do.
And wishing Alvin and Millicent a speedy return to the drone star state.
I like Millicent.
Millicent.
What kind of name is that?
Millicent.
She wants a nickname.
Yeah, but Millicent.
I've never heard that name.
Oh yeah, Millicent is an old, proper British girl's name.
Okay, Millicent.
I like that.
Yes, Millicent.
Millicent, yeah.
Sir Matt in Melbourne.
By the way, I'd like to opt out of the 3333 pin payment credit.
I'll take my pin when I earn it with a second knighthood.
Wow, there you go.
That's one of our knights.
That's talking.
And that concludes.
We had two nights that came up with a couple of producerships.
Of course, it's always the nights who bring us to the park.
Where's the rest of the listeners that sit around and carp?
Carp.
Harp or carp?
Carp?
They carp.
Oh, they carp.
I also want to thank...
Oh, to put this together again.
I've forgotten who...
We have a new forum thingy.
That's notagreatquestion.com.
Oh yeah, right, right, right.
I kind of like that.
That's not a forward.
I think it should be turned into a wiki and people can just post examples one after another.
I think it's a forum.
I think you can just post on it.
It's not a wiki.
Yeah, but forums are always so old-fashioned looking.
I mean, I have a forum called the Dvorak Cage Match.
And, you know, it's for really early internet.
It doesn't have any modernity.
And I think it's always collecting a bunch of people.
It's hard to get new people into forums.
Just a thought.
Well, yes and no, because on the other hand, if you see how popular Reddit is with the kids, and that's basically a forum.
Kids totally dig Reddit, and that's huge.
Yeah, Reddit's huge.
It's not a bulletin board type forum.
No, it is.
Like a kind of a meta blog.
I think it kind of is.
Well, I'll argue about it on some other show.
Sure.
I look forward to it.
By the way, I got good news for you.
There's a way that you can get a new car.
I found the clip.
This is going to be...
How can you pass this deal up?
Crazy 88.
That's right.
Every car and truck, 88 down and 88 a month.
Every van and SUV, 88 down and 88 a month.
$88 down and $88 per month is all you pay, regardless of your past credit history.
During Crazy 88, the Auto Finance Network guarantees you three things.
$88 down payments, $88 monthly payments, and guaranteed credit.
Bad credit, no credit, no problem.
Everybody drives, even if you have upside-down credit.
If you owe $5,000, $10,000, even $15,000, more than your current vehicle is worth, and you want to drive the brand-new car of your dreams, we will make it happen.
Remember, every credit application will be approved, guaranteed.
We must be crazy!
I can't wait to get back.
Yeah!
You can't pass up a brand new car for $88.88.
That's $88.88.
Does it have four wheels?
Probably not.
But I want to thank one of our producers for giving me access to the New York cable.
That's the New York ad.
Right, but this is not in New York.
This is not in Austin, Kansas.
It's not anywhere.
It's bullcrap.
There's no way you get a brand new car for $88.88 a month.
Come on.
Well, we must be cruel.
It must be out of your mind.
I love the echo.
They throw in echo for emphasis.
It's very similar to Crazy Eddie's, actually.
Yeah, New York is where that's from, too.
Kind of set that up.
So, something very interesting.
I received a military copy, military viewing copy, I should say, of Zero Dark Thirty.
Okay.
Somebody sent you a DVD? Well, it came to me not on the DVD, but the military has received a For Your Consideration DVD, and of course, the way that goes through our military contacts, I received a copy of that.
So I was able to watch the movie, which, as far as I know, right now is only in theaters in New York and Los Angeles.
I don't think it's even on a nationwide release yet, is it?
I don't know.
What's the name of that thing again?
Zero Dark Thirty.
This is about how Bin Laden was captured.
Well, I first want this controversy over this.
Very, very big controversy.
This is ABC News.
In theaters January 11th?
Right.
Tomorrow.
So I already have seen the movie here in Amsterdam.
So just, once again, proving to you how awesome the No Agenda Producer Network is.
Yeah.
And it was given to me legally as, you know, like, okay, you're now deputized, you are now a member of the military while you watch this, and then you will destroy it.
Which, of course, I've destroyed the copy that I had, obviously.
Good for you.
Yeah.
Because, you know, I'm not against, I don't like copyrighted.
Yeah, we don't need the excuse.
Just tell us about it.
So ABC, very important.
The screener.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, it's not a screener.
No, no, this is for your consideration.
It's something different.
Okay, but essentially it's a screener, but go on.
So I've pulled a couple clips from the movie.
I thought that would be kind of fun.
Oh, good.
Cool.
So first I need to set this up by letting you know that ABC is trumping up this big controversy.
Woo!
Big controversy over this movie.
It's really...
Backlash!
Backlash!
The movie chronicles the hunt for Osama...
Hey, wait, stop the clip.
How can there be a backlash?
The movie's not even out yet.
Thank you.
Now to the growing backlash over the movie Zero Dark Thirty.
The movie chronicles the hunt for Osama Bin Laden.
Three senators, including the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, are now putting pressure on the CIA to reveal just how much information it gave to filmmakers and whether or not the agency deliberately tried to mislead them into thinking torture led to the finding of Osama Bin Laden.
ABC's Martha Raddatz joins us now with the very latest on this story.
So we don't have to listen to the whole thing.
Now, so why is this important to ABC and why is there growing controversy over this?
Because it is a Sony Pictures, which is not ABC. That would be CBS. And by the way, it is very interesting to point out that this movie is produced by Annapurna Pictures.
Annapurna Pictures is run by Megan Ellison.
So the whole thing was financed essentially by Oracle, the Larry Ellison empire, Megan Ellison being his daughter.
So just stick that in your back pocket so you remember that.
Why is it important for ABC to make this big controversy?
Because...
This thing has already been...
We have the nominations, I think.
Did they come out yet today?
Or the Academy Award nominations?
Because ABC, of course, hosts the Academy Awards, which is coming up.
So they need the controversy, because we need to have this...
It's already been nominated for Golden Globes, and so we have to have this controversy so more people will watch ABC's Academy Awards.
That's the only reason why there's some controversy.
Now, having seen the movie...
Okay, actually they have the nominations.
Nominations came out today, didn't they?
Yeah, and Chastain, one of the actresses in the movie, she's got a nomination.
So let me say this about this movie.
If this movie were true...
I would immediately sign up for the CIA because they have the hottest freaking agent babes in the universe.
And they're loose.
They are hot, baby.
I'm telling you.
Maya is the character.
She's redhead.
The character she plays, smoking hot.
And of course, she single-handedly is responsible for tracking down Bin Laden.
Now, the first 30 minutes of this movie is all...
And there's something sexy about a hot...
No, something really sexy about a hot babe watching a guy get tortured.
I mean, it's very, very sexual.
But the torture...
I mean, really?
This is what the controversy is about?
They showed some waterboarding, and literally, they put a cheesecloth over the guy's mouth, and they have a pitcher of water, and they're pouring it from a foot high, and that's supposed to be waterboarding.
And then one guy gets hit with the back of a hand, and one guy gets put in a closet.
I've seen worse stuff in schoolyards than what was portrayed in this movie.
So, total bullcrap.
There is no controversy.
At one point, they do show one second frame.
Well, it's not one frame.
But it's like a few frames of a funnel in a guy's...
You don't even see it.
You just see a funnel and then some liquid gurgling up.
You don't even see if it's in his mouth or anything.
So it's insinuated that they waterboarded him with a funnel.
But that is like one second of this 30 minutes of nothing.
There's no fingernails being pulled out.
There's no deprivation...
It's like, whatever.
It's not shocking to me.
Not shocking.
Well, this actually moves along the meme because they're trying to push the idea that torture...
They're trying to make the entire U.S. public think that torture is fine and works.
Yes.
And in the movie...
Even though it's all been...
You can talk to your blue in the face that it's ineffective...
And there's better ways of getting information.
But no, there's a bunch of sadists that enjoy doing it.
That's the only thing I can think of.
And the hot babe actually at one point says, hey, you want to try and work him over?
I mean, the whole thing is sexual.
Really, really, really, really sexual.
Not to me, but I mean, this is what's being portrayed.
And then at a certain point, after this torture is over, then in the background we have the president talking about how we're not going to torture anymore.
I'm going to play the clip because it's in the background.
It may not come across that well.
But it's very, very subtle to show that, of course, you know, we're good and Obama's good and we don't torture.
The meeting with the law is off.
They can't come to Islam at that.
Can or won't.
He's not going to travel.
Security risk.
I've said repeatedly that America doesn't torture.
And I'm going to make sure that we don't torture.
Those are part and parcel of an effort to regain America's moral stature in the world.
Can you give us some sense of when you might start...
Peace.
So at this point, of course, we already have the information that we need to track down the Bin Ladens.
Beautiful little word, little...
So now they've tracked them down to the compound.
This actually is like a whole segment.
They use this term, which the only other person I've ever heard use this is Hillary Lucifer Clippity Clop Clinton.
And I'm also going to give up hope that he might ever get in that white SUV and...
Drive around a bit and we could see him.
Don't they get groceries?
The unidentified third male does not get groceries.
He does not leave the compound.
He does not present himself for photographs.
When he needs fresh air, he paces around beneath a grape arbor.
But the leaves are so thick, they obscure our satellite views.
This is a professional attempt to avoid detection.
Okay?
Real tradecraft.
The only people we've seen behave in this way are other top-level Al-Qaeda operatives.
Top-level Al-Qaeda.
So, tradecraft.
Fantastic term, tradecraft.
So, look for the term tradecraft to be used in connection with terrorists.
Now...
Before I play the final two little ditty-bitty clips, this movie is meant to bring all of those moments together that have been cemented in your mind through the media.
So it starts off with you hearing, no video, just black screen actually, hearing phone calls from the airplanes.
Remember those amazing cell phone calls that were made from airplanes?
I love you.
Yeah, right.
I love you.
I'm burning up.
Am I going to die?
So 9-11 calls.
Then it goes through and we have 7-7.
You actually see the bus blowing up.
It has the forward operating base where the nine CIA agents were killed in Afghanistan.
Remember the terrorist got all the way through?
Yeah, the other guy walked in and said, hey guys, you're all CIA, right?
We're Boom!
It has the blowing up of the Marriott Hotel.
It's basically explosions.
It goes that far back?
Oh yeah.
All of these pieces all put together.
And it creates a narrative.
It creates an entire story.
And they went so far with creating this fake story about this fake guy that they actually did the following...
We discussed this on our show.
Because where the Bin Laden, so-called Bin Laden compound was located in Pakistan, has a name.
What is the name of that compound?
What is the name of that place where the compound was?
Yeah.
Yeah, Abbottabad.
What was it?
What was it?
What?
Abbottabad.
Yeah, Abbottabad.
Abbottabad.
Abbottabad.
Because we were corrected profusely by Pakistanis that it's Abbottabad.
Yeah.
So in the movie, we have CIA agents in Pakistan...
Mispronouncing it.
So a little context here.
If you take a right out of Islamabad, drive about 45 minutes north, you'll find yourself here in Abbottabad.
Abbottabad?
No, Abbottabad.
Abbottabad!
and they do it again.
Thank you.
Okay, so...
Right, even worse.
Yeah, this is a CNN pronunciation.
That's how far they went to create this false narrative.
So that, to me, is just proof that the whole thing is phony.
Right, wrong pronunciation is actually our key.
I want to read you the nine films nominated for Best Picture, and this movie was one of them.
Of course.
Here's the rest of them.
Again, these movies, they release them to one theater at the end of December, and that becomes a 2012 movie, which is bullcrap.
Yeah, exactly.
They release it in Los Angeles, New York, and on the best podcast in the universe.
Now, you might have seen this one, which I... The Beasts of the Southern Wilde.
Nominated.
I've never seen that.
I have no idea what that's about.
Silver Linings Playbook.
Nominated.
No, no, no, no.
Never heard of it.
Now, then Lincoln, of course, which is a big movie.
It's a big tentpole film.
And Les Mis...
Yeah.
Is nominated.
We all know that it's probably going to win a lot just because it's rigged.
Because it's for the gays.
The Life of Pi.
Yeah.
I think that's going to win a lot, actually.
Okay.
It actually has 11 nominations.
Amour.
Not familiar.
No, I've never heard of it.
And Django Unchained, which will win nothing, by the way.
Especially during this violence that's going on.
We can't give it any awards to whatever you do.
I can't wait for the speeches, though.
We're going to have all kinds of anti-gun, anti-violent speeches.
And finally, Argo.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, Argo might just get like a technical award, you know, just to give him a little nod because, you know, they screwed it up.
You know, they screwed up the whole...
They screwed up the whole thing.
Timing was off.
Too many, too many.
I don't like competition awards.
I think you just find what you like, give them an award.
These, as far as I'm going to just give awards away, they have to bring drama into award ceremonies.
I really think it sucks.
You know, oh, here's the best three best actresses and we're going to pick one.
If they're all that good, just give them an award.
I mean, why do you have to make them, you know, why do you have to create this bullcrap drama and then rig it?
For ratings?
For ratings?
Oh, ratings.
That's right.
There's another movie that comes out tomorrow called Celebrity.
There was a movie done by Woody Allen years ago called Celebrity, which I find interesting that they do it again.
This is brand new.
Of course, you would pronounce it Celebrity, but they've done dollar sign E-L-L-E-B-R-I-T-Y. Celebrity.
Celebrity, which is kind of cool.
Here's a little bit of the trailer.
Historically, the American dream meant that anyone could come to America and through hard work could own a home and provide for their family.
No, that is not the American Dream.
Now, the American Dream is anyone who puts a video on YouTube can become famous.
That is the American Dream.
There are people out there now.
Yes, the American Dream.
It's true.
Yes, true.
That are absolutely famous, who don't work.
Julius Caesar was famous.
Napoleon was famous.
It had taken Napoleon a lifetime.
It took Charlie Chaplin a month.
The key is mass media.
Television networks want ratings.
Increasingly, the way to get that is to have an entertainment component.
When all of a sudden you're hearing rumors that are not true on a CNN crawl, you sort of go, this is CNN. We don't have to watch it.
We don't have to read it.
It's become the disease of our culture.
Celebrity.
If my camera goes down, you'll be gone in a flash.
It's Hollywood.
It's so exposed, there's no mystery.
We build someone up in order to tear them down.
Jesus Christ could come back after a few thousand years, somebody get a picture, put it on TMZ. The first comment would be, Jesus is a f***ing douchebag.
You know what I mean?
I'd like to see that movie.
That's probably true.
By the way, Charlie Chaplin, it didn't take him a month.
That was the worst trailer thing or whatever it was I've ever heard.
It was filled with misinformation.
That's why I played it for you.
It's terrible.
That's why I played it for you.
Of course.
Yeah, I got better teasers than that.
Play Blitzer teaser.
Oh, boy.
Okay.
Tens of thousands of lives potentially at risk in what could be the worst flu season here in the United States in years.
A leading doctor tells me, though, it's not too late to protect yourself.
It's funny you say that because right below the pee in the shower thing here is, oh, the Mexican flu is back, which is the, because here they don't call it the swine flu, they call it the Mexican flu.
It's the same thing, only because, remember, the swine flu started with Mexican pigs?
Yeah, yeah.
So now it's the Mexican flu.
Yeah, and everyone hears, oh, it's the Mexican flu!
Oh, we have the Mexican flu!
It's all back again!
And then we've got Canada.
Canada has the flu.
They're really pushing the flu thing again.
Well, they got a lot of flu happening.
In fact, JC's fiancee girlfriend here, Buzzkill Jr., she's got the flu.
Now, we don't have the flu, even though she's sneezing and coughing and hacking and she's had the flu for a while.
She works at a cheese shop and she gets it from the public.
From the cheese.
We use the vitamin D3 and other measures to keep including this weird mushroom juice, reaching mushrooms.
Wait a minute, mushroom juice?
Mushroom juice.
I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm going to have to stop you right there.
According to The Nation, at CBC, all of this is bullcrap.
Whatever you're saying is all bullcrap.
Seems like everyone has their own strategy to keep themselves from getting a cold or flu.
Trouble is, according to doctors, most of those methods don't actually work.
Yeah, pay attention, Dvorak, this is for you.
For instance...
So you take vitamin C? Yeah, I always make sure I take that.
To separate fact from fiction, we turn to Dr.
Michael Gardam.
Fact!
He's an infectious disease specialist.
Specialist!
Vitamin C is a classic.
You hear this all the time.
Does that work?
Yeah, unfortunately vitamin C doesn't work.
So if an apple a day doesn't keep the virus away, what about this?
You take echinacea?
Yep.
Yep.
Convinced it works?
Um, no.
She's right, and neither does ginseng.
In terms of scientific evidence supporting these, there really isn't any.
Then there's this old favorite.
I gargle with warm salt water as often as I can.
Gargling with salt water, this is something I do all the time.
Please don't tell me I've been wasting my time here.
If it makes your throat feel better, go for it.
But in terms of prevention, he says there's no evidence it works.
So, what does?
The flu shot definitely works.
Shot!
I have already.
Science.
The flu shot works.
So, yeah.
Well, here's the thing that I found interesting.
I took the Wolf Blitzer thing, and I got a funny...
I got two clips here.
One of them is kind of amusing because the guy who...
He brings on person after person from around the country.
It was too long.
But I found that he brought in this doctor from one of the government agencies.
And this is the first time I've ever heard a guy that actually discussed the flu vaccine accurately say...
Pretty much saying, you know, the flu vaccine is essentially a crapshoot.
It might work.
It might not.
And he did it in a very, very interesting way.
I've never heard anyone do this.
It was very honest.
And you can play it and you can hear the subtext is like, well, this particular flu, we might have, maybe, you know, by coincidence, we may have the right blend of vaccine in this batch, but we don't know.
We had a very, very light season last year.
This year, there were a couple of ominous signs.
It clicked up early towards the very end of November, the beginning of December, and it went up on a pretty steep trajectory.
The last time we saw that happen that way It was the flu season of 2003 and 2004, which turned out to be a bad flu season.
And also the kind of flu that's circulating, what we call H3N2, is usually associated with more serious disease compared to other types of flu.
That's the bad news.
The good news is that the flu that's circulating matches pretty well, in fact very, very well, to the vaccine that is being distributed and administered throughout the country.
Is this vaccine working, in other words?
Well, you can't tell if it's working at this point in the season, but when you have a good match where the strains that are used in the vaccine match very well to the circulating strain, you usually get a pretty good degree of protection.
It varies among age groups and among individuals, but for the most part, the protection is really quite good.
I love that he talks like this.
That's the way he talks.
Yeah, he's a crapshoot.
It's a crapshoot.
But what I thought was funny, even though this has nothing to do with the flu, at the end of his little discussion, he apparently forgets Wolf's name.
And do I have it here?
Where is the stomach flu?
Where is this clip?
No.
That's the whole setup for the big payoff?
Here it is.
It's the FR Fauci.
The guy's name is Fauci or something.
Sign off.
And just listen to his pronunciation.
I couldn't...
Dr.
Fauci, thanks so much, as always, for joining us.
Good to be here, Brof.
Brof.
Brof.
It's good to be here, Brof.
I'm Brof Witzer.
Hold on a second.
Hold on.
I'm giving it to you, man.
I am just giving it to you.
It's well worth it.
Dr.
Fauci, thanks so much, as always, for joining us.
Good to be here, bro.
Good to be here, bro.
Oh, you know, Facebook has released this app.
For the flu.
And it's a Facebook, and this is getting a lot of press, and I've been looking at this, you know, like, where is this coming from?
Facebook app tracks friends who are spreading influenza.
Oh, that's great.
And this comes from, so, you know, if someone has the flu, then it's going to say, hey, you're friends with this guy.
He's posted that he has the flu.
It comes from an outfit called Help Remedies.
And Help Remedies, very interesting company, who actually have a registered trademark on the word help.
Which I find outstanding.
Helpineedhelp.com.
If you look at their products, they have help I'm tired, help I can't sleep, help I have chest congestion, help I'm nauseous, help I have a blister, help I have allergies, I have a stuffy nose, help I've cut myself, help I have an aching body, and help I have a headache.
I can't really figure out...
It's obviously that these guys are funded by the pharmaceutical industry, but I went to the people, and so there's the director of operations.
Hold on, where's the...
I've got to find the next...
The number two guy is Dale Trigger, director of product development.
Just listen to his little bio blurb.
Dale is like the man in a spy novel film.
Who takes you into his underground laboratory and gives you a pair of shoes that help you to disable satellites and distract guard dogs.
Only a few years ago, he was building and operating unmanned aircraft in Pakistan.
Today he works on making pill containers that are easier to use and friendlier to the environment.
So obviously this is a CIA outfit.
These guys are putting together apps with guys who built drones?
Well, I mean, it's good to attract the sick people.
Yeah.
So we can kill them!
Exactly.
I mean, wow.
And when I was doing all this research, I came up with a new disorder, a commercial for this disorder, and I think I am, no, I don't think, I know I am suffering from this.
And I'm very worried.
I'm very concerned.
And you may have it as well, John.
Are you familiar with PBA? PBA, yeah.
The Professional Bowlers Association.
They put a tournament on...
No?
No.
Don't call it depression.
Call it by its real name.
Don't call it crazy.
Call it PBA, Pseudo Bulbar Affect.
PBA causes frequent episodes of uncontrollable crying or laughing in people with brain injuries or neurologic conditions like stroke, dementia, or MS.
You can't laugh?
Now, laughing or crying, call 1-800-575-5238 or go to pbafacts.com.
You'll learn the science behind PBA.
Science!
It's a neurologic condition, not psychological, and it's treatable.
It's drugs.
If you've experienced outbursts of crying or laughing, call it what it is.
And call now, 1-800-575-5238, or go to pbafax.com for your free kit.
There's a name for this.
Oh, thank you.
And you're not alone.
I'm not alone in laughing.
Oh, man, that is horrible.
That should be Clip of the Day.
No, no, no, no.
It can't be Clip of the Day.
It can't be because...
Shut up already.
Science.
Did you go to pbafacts.com so you can learn all about it?
Yeah.
And so it's a pseudobulber effect.
Yeah, right.
Pseudobulber.
Well, there's a medication for it.
Pseudobulber.
Yeah.
What's treating this guy?
This is a humorless guy here.
He can't laugh, Jonathan.
Tell us.
Horseface.
He's their International Brain Research Foundation.
Let's see what he has to say.
He's taken an important step toward understanding pseudobulbar ethics.
Look at it.
He's got...
Oh, it's awesome.
He's a doctor, and he's got a black jacket on, a black bow tie, and a stethoscope around his neck.
This is great.
Oh, wow.
To take the next step, sign up here for your free PBA Facts Kit.
It's part of an educational program I helped create.
Whoa, he did it!
You know what?
So he made this thing up.
I think Jeff Bezos has this.
He might.
Yeah, he has it.
I mean, but look at it.
About PBA. I mean, this is a real disease.
Hold on, I'm going to click on I am a patient.
This guy's invented it.
I never heard it.
Are you laughing?
But there's medication for it.
Sure there is.
Yeah.
Hold on a second.
What was the medication again?
You've got to Google pseudobulbar affect.
Yeah, we've got to.
Come on, man.
This is awesome.
We can get more drugs.
Here, pseudobulbar affect.
There's a wiki entry for it.
And the treatment is dextromethorphanquinidine, which is apparently...
Oh, Nudexta.
What is it?
I don't see this.
I'm looking on the wikis.
Down at the bottom.
New Dexter.
New Dexter.
There you go.
New Dexter.
From Avenir Pharmaceuticals.
Dextromethorphanquinidine.
Dextromethorphanquinidine.
New Dexter.
The first FDA approved for the treatment of PBA. Take it and you won't laugh.
Everybody should get this and go to a comedy club.
Just imagine sitting in the comedy and watching this comic just die out there.
We should just put it in the drinks.
I don't understand what was wrong.
I killed last night.
What happened?
What went wrong?
Are we in a crazy world?
Yeah, put it in the drinks.
Put it in the drinks.
This actually would be a good plot in a story, in a novel.
They joke the whole audience up so nobody laughs at anything that the comedian says and then he gets manipulated into becoming a CIA agent.
I love it.
So I have been talking about something like that.
Of course, you and I are both on mailing lists for the president, and I'm also on mailing lists for the independent party.
But I also get stuff from the Republicans once in a while, and I thought there would be a good little change of pace.
This may die, because I have not even attempted this.
I haven't clicked on anything yet.
His friend from Tom DeBeckerow.
It's New Year.
We need your help.
A new beginning for the California Republican Party.
Our records indicate you've not completed the rebuilding the party survey.
So I thought...
Oh, we're going to do a survey.
I think it's a good idea.
So I'm going to click.
I love doing surveys.
Okay.
You've got to pop up?
I've got to type stuff in.
Yeah, I know.
I have to type in my name.
But now they're going to be...
Harassing me.
The zip code and my email.
They have my email, but okay.
I'll get another one.
Actually, I sent it to PR at Dvorak.org, which is like, in general, do you think California is going in the right direction or is California on the wrong track?
And the answers are right direction, wrong track.
What are you going to do?
Yes, of course.
Thinking in the recent election, would you say you have a better attitude about the future or do you feel worse about the future?
What kind of a survey is this?
Would you feel better or worse?
I feel worse.
What am I going to get at the end here?
A prize?
A dollar.
Okay.
Do you feel that the rising generation, ooh, the rising generation, that would be Buzzkill Jr., I think, or maybe Jay.
Noodles, noodles, noodles.
Noodles, the noodles.
Would it be better or worse off financially than their parents?
Worse.
Yeah, I agree.
Worse, worse.
What issues are most important to you?
Check all that apply.
Okay.
Yeah, you hit the bell if you think it applies.
Okay.
Fiscal cliff and tax reform.
Healthcare reform.
The war on terror and national security.
Exactly.
Taxes.
Yeah.
Education.
I don't give a crap.
I'd say yes.
No, I'm doing the survey.
California, come on.
No.
I'm going to put it.
Okay.
Economy job creation.
No.
No.
I don't care.
I don't care.
No, I don't care.
Crime and domestic security.
Oh, woo!
Domestic security.
Yeah, I want more of that.
I'm putting that as a no.
And affordable energy.
Oh, ooh!
Affordable energy.
Please give me some.
What issues do you think we should focus on as a party?
Now, this is interesting.
Fiscal cliff and tax reform?
No.
No, I agree.
Healthcare reform?
No.
Because health care insurance reform, sure.
Health care reform, no.
Okay, okay.
Good point.
No.
The war on terror, no.
Taxes, yes.
Education, it's not the party's job.
Economy, job creation, what do you think?
No.
Crime and domestic security and affordability.
No, I don't care about any of that.
Okay, I'll just click on affordability.
What am I going to get here?
Am I going to get something?
Is that the trillion dollar bill in his hand?
Thinking about the election this past November.
And by the way, it says...
It is what it actually reads.
Thinking about the election this part November.
So it means this past November.
So they can't even get this without...
Is this going to result in an assessment of me as a political...
Do you get a score?
Is that what you're asking?
Yeah.
Or are we just doing this just to...
Am I going to get a score at the end?
Because whenever I do this with you, you get a score.
Yeah, I'm not seeing the score thing happening here.
Well, then we should probably stop.
Ow!
You know what just happened?
What?
It crashed?
Basically.
I hit a button.
I did something.
I let the back arrow key, and it went to this other page, the California Republican Party Donate.
Yeah.
Hey, we should do that.
That sounds great.
Hey, so Timmy's gone.
Little Timmy.
Yeah, I heard that, but he's still nosing around.
No, no, no.
It's breaking now.
Breaking news.
Breaking news is that apparently he went to class so he could sign his signature on the dollar bill because of this new lunatic who signs his name with a bunch of zeros.
He's called lunatic.
Lunatic.
Very good.
I like that, by the way.
Good job.
Yeah, so that's official now.
That just came out.
And I'd just like to give...
Props to John Brennan.
I mean, you know, the guy gets nominated as head of the group.
Is that the same John Brennan that screwed up Iraq and ruined it for everybody?
That guy.
That guy.
Yeah.
So, no sooner does he get the CIA desk, but he immediately drones like 17 Pakistanis.
He's like, hey, just so you know, I'm in, boys.
Like, immediately.
Really?
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
The day after his nomination, there's like 17 people droned.
Oh yeah!
This is the guy who says it's great!
We all know that.
You remember that?
He was the first guy to actually talk about the drones.
And say, here we've got a drone program.
So what?
What's it to you?
He's been the advisor.
No, this is Mr.
Drone!
He's Mr.
Mr. Drone!
Really funny to hear all the comments about the health care insurance scams.
Now to an unwelcome surprise for millions of Americans this new year.
Health insurance premiums that are causing sticker shock.
Double-digit increases in some places.
Suddenly a whole lot of families are watching this happen in the era of the so-called Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare.
We get an explanation here.
How is it possible?
I didn't expect this!
It's an explanation!
I don't understand!
How can it be?
This is so unexpected!
What?
And the crazy thing, John...
Yes.
Now we have this movement, Mint the Coin.
It's now a movement.
The New York Times is writing about it.
What's his name?
Who's that Nobel dude?
Fragman?
Yes!
He's saying mint the coin.
Why do one?
Do a hundred.
Everyone's minting.
It's a hashtag.
Mint the coin.
I'm not kidding.
And of course, thank you to our producer who was kind enough to bring up the original trillion dollar coin.
In 1945, the people of Europe struggled to rebuild following the war.
Shut up, Simpson.
To ease this crisis, President Truman promised relief.
American tax dollars will help our allies who fought so poorly and surrendered so readily.
To make good on this drunken post, Truman authorized the one-time printing of the largest denomination currency ever, a trillion dollar bill.
Ooh, a trillion dollar bill.
That's a spicy meatball.
Can you believe that we're now actually living the trillion dollar...
We're living Simpsons!
We are the Simpsons!
I'm telling you, we have become the Simpsons!
Is that the trillion dollar bill in his hand?
Ha ha ha ha!
By the way, this is the only, the only place you will hear this.
I have not seen anyone talk about this Simpsons episode.
And you're the one that called it, John.
Of course, immediately we have producers who came up with it.
This is just insane.
It's insane.
It's crazy!
I think it's pretty cool, though.
Do you think anyone else will catch on to this?
I don't know.
It's already been a week or so since we first found it, or one of our producers found it for us.
I think this really shows the real strength of our show, which is the interaction we have with the audience.
I mean, you could send this...
I'm sure somebody sent this same link to Brian Williams.
Brof?
Or Brof, and they didn't even open their email.
I don't even know if they can open it.
They're probably like Janet Napolitano.
They don't use a computer.
Hey, Brof!
I'm going to show my school by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on the agenda.
That's a trillion dollar bill in its head?
We have a few people to thank for today's show.
A few is correct.
477, a few, but they need to be thanked.
Sir David Yegley, another night from Pleasanton, came in at $133.33.
Hi, Jeb and Alan.
You know what's crazy?
Every time I look at my watch and it says 333, or I'm reading something that refers to 33, I automatically think...
Donate to the best podcast in the universe.
That's good.
That's very good.
Let me just repeat that again.
Whenever you see a 3, 33 p.m.
or a.m., or whenever you see a referral to 33, you think time to donate.
Donate to the best podcast in the universe.
Lately I've been seeing it more and more, which means the Gitmo gods need to be appeased.
All hail Crackpot and Buzzkill.
Anyway, he has no other requests.
Okay.
I would send him some gratuitous karma.
I agree.
I'm just going to do that right on.
You've got karma.
Of course.
Of course.
Knights always just get some karma.
Are you kidding me?
Tertius Carstens in Houston, Texas.
Uh, $123.21.
In the morning, ITM, Jeb, Adolf, and Mickey.
Hey, wait a minute!
Why am I Adolf?
What is that?
Yeah, I think that's a good one.
I like you being Adolf.
I don't like Adolf.
Well, it's too bad.
Neither does, and Brolf doesn't like being called that either, I'm sure.
I'm writing this one off as a marketing expense.
I'm in Houston and a Google-trusted and contracted photographer.
Hmm.
Hmm.
He met me at John.
I met John at the Twit Cottage when I did their Google Street View tour.
Oh, he was sitting there doing all the work in the back.
I said, hello, and he said, get out.
Because he was busy.
What I do to propagate my personal formula is just getting by.
I'll donate 50% of my profits from any Google Plus local tours.
What he does, he did the map.
Inside, yeah, it goes inside.
The inside maps.
Hey, why don't I take a picture?
It'll only be one of our exile quarters, and you can do a map.
Yeah.
You have to shoot the door, and then open the door, so you have a shot of the door open.
The map is all the same thing.
It's like you have the round table, which is studio, the round table, which is dining room, the round table, which is sit-in room.
It's all the same.
It's all one spot.
It's like one hot spot.
Take some pictures and send them to me.
All right, all right.
He understands your frustration.
He says, I married and came here from Gitmo Nation Rugsbeveld, South Africa.
I had to get all kinds of crazy shots and pay DHS bucket loads to this day of money.
Please give me a Hillary.
We came, we saw, and we clippity-clopped.
A little girl don't eat me in the morning combo.
Okay.
It's clippity-clop.
The message is clear.
Just clippity-clop.
Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton!
You've got karma.
It doesn't actually exist.
There's no clippity-clop combo with we came, we saw, we killed him, whatever.
This is what I got.
Okay, well, you're shorthanded.
Yes.
Anonymous in Gurney, Illinois, 75.
By the way, Kevin Payne.
Oh, I'm sorry, I missed Kevin Payne.
Oh, jeez, I scrolled way down.
I mean, it's bad, but not that bad.
Yeah, Patrick Maycomb in Mount Vernon, New York, $111.11.
Kevin Payne in Chantilly, Virginia, $100.02.
I assume my $50 check will arrive before Thursday.
If I do not hear my name Thursday, I will send this again for the Sunday show.
Oh, well, maybe we shouldn't say anything.
I don't know.
Anyway, like his night name to be Sir Payne in the A. So that's his night name, Sir Payne in the A. I'll put that on the note because our noodles help didn't do that.
My friend Gimpy, the three-legged cat, has entered his last few days.
Please send him some karma so his last few days will be as comfortable as possible.
He has been a faithful companion for 16 years and will be missed.
John, as I am interested in audio, I'm curious to know what speakers and amps you use since you mentioned them in passing a few shows ago.
Thanks for all the work you do.
Oh yeah, Mike Papool is a douchebag.
Douchebag!
So let me give a little karma first to the poor pussycat.
You've got karma.
Aw, Gimpy.
Aw, Gimpy.
I'm using right now for a receiver.
I usually use amp.
I do have a...
I mean, a receiver?
What do you mean a receiver?
He wants to know what I'm using for my stereo.
A receiver?
You mean for your turntable?
No, no.
Receiver.
So you have a receiver.
I do have a receiver.
Okay.
And it's a Kyocera 620, which many people believe is the greatest receiver ever manufactured, and it sings.
It's a fantastic product that very few people have ever heard of.
Kyocera made a bunch of high-end audio gear in, I believe, the 80s, and they ran them for about a year.
It's beautiful equipment.
They're all prettiest things.
I like to get an amp.
They're very modern looking, and I'm convinced they only made them for their own executives, and then they canceled the whole thing, and then they kind of disappeared from the scene.
Nobody even knows about Kyocera, but that's what I use.
And what do you use for a gramophone?
I actually have a gramophone.
I'm sure you do.
With the crank on the side?
Yeah, it's great.
You put an old 78 on there and you crank it up and you listen to Black Crows.
Really?
Whoa, really?
I mean, not just the Green Days, but also the Black Crows.
No, but this is what I'm talking about, the Black Crows from the 20s.
Oh, I'm sorry, my mistake.
I've never heard of the Black Crows comedy yet.
So did you know that there was a band called the Black Crows?
Duh!
What's the name of their biggest hit?
I don't know.
I don't care.
I'm not a big fan of the Black Crows.
And besides that, even with Green Day, I can never remember the names of these songs.
They're misnamed.
memorizing song names.
No, of course not.

Please make this donation anonymous but credit it toward Lizzie's Damehood.
I used to listen to Twit and saw you on that episode so when I started listening, I got up to speed on No Agenda Podcast and decided to download another Twit episode because I had nothing to listen to.
The Twit I downloaded had Robert Scoble on.
No, no.
And then he said something insulting which I will not repeat.
So it goes on and on and on.
Scoble is one of the most popular guys in the world.
Anyway, so I listened to back episodes and he got through five hours a week, doesn't fill the time in my commute.
He's working my way through it because the five hours a week doesn't fill the time.
How much are you commuting?
And I don't listen to Twit anymore.
I don't like everything about the show, namely Dvorak's technical difficulties, but I like it.
Enough to give money.
So he wants to say, don't eat me, Hillary, de-douching and some karma.
Donate now, Hillary Clinton.
Oops, sorry.
I was, uh, preoccupied.
Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
Yeah, we are a show for commuters.
There's no doubt about that.
It's really, you know, slaves who commute.
That's what we discovered on Sunday.
Slaves who commute, listen to this show.
And Taxi Eric is now also hooked.
Finally.
I finally got him listening.
Finally?
Boy, that took a long time.
Yeah, well, you know, he...
Brian Watson in Raleigh, North Carolina, 69, 69.
69!
69, dude!
Let's see if Watson sent us a note, because I thought he did.
I could be wrong.
Look up Watson.
Notification, donation, da-da-da-da-da.
No.
Nothing in the email.
Okay, where was I? Brian Watson, 6969.
Ashley Hurst, good old Ashley from Seattle, Washington.
You know, she's the one with that...
Yeah?
She's the cute cutie who fishes.
Oh, our fishing babe.
Yes.
6969.
Keeping the 6969 alive, bitches.
Hillary, don't eat me.
Almost too delicious to believe.
Shut up, slave.
Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton.
It's almost too delicious to believe, my friend.
Shut up, slave.
There you go.
She did it in shorthand.
She didn't request anything.
That's all she wants.
She gets what she wants.

Donating after seeing Adam's Cusp Conference video.
Which I saw too.
I thought you did well.
Thank you.
You seemed a little...
Well...
You're really a smart dude, but seeing Jobs embarrassed by that was, by the way, one of the classic classics.
Did we ever play that on this show?
Uh, no.
No.
Anyway, Jobs is...
Yeah, it's very funny.
Uh...
He says, my Mac is acting up like a motherfucker on all things D. It's priceless.
Please make it a clip on the show.
Whenever something acts up, it should act up like a motherfucker.
Like John's Skype mumble requesting karma for you guys.
And get laid karma for myself.
Okay, well we'll give you some karma for sure.
Here we go.
You've got karma.
You know, I was thinking...
So, yeah, I was nervous because I hadn't done a speech in years and years and years.
And, you know, I'm kind of a non-visual guy now.
I like just sitting behind the microphone.
Right, with your pants off.
Yes, of course.
And, you know, I also don't have you.
You know, I didn't have you because, you know, when I go off or something screws up, then, you know, you're always there to save me like my safety net.
You know, it's the lightning rod and the grounding ribbon.
I've seen you give talks before.
You're great.
When?
I don't know.
No.
I haven't done a talk in years.
Well, you should probably do a couple a year.
Well, can I make any money with that?
Yeah, you can get a speaker's bureau to book you.
You probably could.
Let me work it out for you.
I think I can take that cusp thing.
I think I can take that on the road.
I think I can customize it a little bit.
It needs a little work, but yeah, it's okay.
Oh, okay, sorry.
It needs a little work.
No, I mean, it just needs a little work.
There's no jokes in there, for one thing.
There was tons of jokes.
You've got to punch it up.
The whole Steve job, there were tons of jokes.
I'm sorry.
Now you're pissing me off.
There were tons of jokes.
And, by the way, I think a Hawaiian shirt would work, too.
Okay, well, you and Leo.

ITM, Alan, Mindy, Jeb, and Mona.
Mona.
Who's Mindy?
I don't know.
Mimi is Mona.
Oh, Mimi is Mindy.
God.
I'm sending a swazzle enough.
By the way, we brought this on ourselves, this naming thing, of course.
Yeah, we did.
We did.
A Swazenov donation along with a separate $33.33 for a night pin for a total of $103.02.
This is an installment for a second knighthood I will give to my smoking hot milf.
Does 3333 go toward her damehood for the accounting purposes only?
No.
When we watch The Spew, that's when we call the mainstream news.
I like that.
Spew.
She always says, I wonder what the boys will say about that.
Oh, we're the boys now.
She calls you the boys.
We're the boys.
Oh, that's kind of cool.
We're the boys.
Boys are back in town.
Oh, my God.
A song from this century.
That only praise when the shit's getting deep.
It's not from this century.
It's from last century.
True.
Only praise when the shit's getting deep.
I'm donating because, well, you get it.
Please send a karma shot to this obscure Midwestern folk singer just trying to get by.
I could use it for a couple of things.
Just some material for us.
A couple of things are going on right now.
Since my knighthood, I've been trying to hit people in the mouth with my RSS feed.
Stuff ain't right.
Stuffainteright.com.
I even wrote a theme song that is linked to the right side of this page along with a link to No Agenda, the best podcast in the universe.
Go to Stuffainteright and see what he's got.
Thanks for a great show.
Oh, and Alan, get Mindy out of Holland.
That place is full of dykes.
Stuffainteright.com.
So he's got some humor.
Stuffainteright.com.
Oh, is this him?
Oh, I subscribe to this feed.
Oh, do you?
Yeah, yeah.
In fact, here's the theme song.
Here's the theme song.
I didn't know that that was his site.
No, that's kind of cool, actually.
Stuff Ain't Right, song by Chris Wolfe, cause you know stuff ain't right.
Stuff Ain't Right by Chris Wolfe.
Jeez, Chris, I get it.
Get to the song, man.
Ha, ha, ha.
We have a baby, right?
It really ain't.
It's fun to be a sinner.
It's hard to be a saint.
And you want to keep thinking everything's okay, but you really can't.
Stuff ain't right.
Woohoo!
Stuff ain't right.
That's catchy.
It's got a nice tune.
He has to hit the road.
Well, we could do it together.
Chris Wolfe, Adam Curry, and Green Day.
Well, that's a bestseller.

That aside, though.

The stream.
The streak.
Oh, the streak.
The 6969 streak.
Oh, jeez.
Sorry.
I just got up.
That aside, though.
Something swazzled enough karma for Alan and Melody to keep them safe and warm in the lowlands.
Alan and Melody.
You've got karma.
My goodness.
I like that one, too.
That's not bad.
Alan and Melody.
It's kind of cool.
I like it.
Yeah.
It's nice.
It's cool.
Okay, let's see.
Where was I? I'm looking.
There's no name here.
In Harlem, we have Remco Van Dyke, which is pronounced not Remco, but...
Yeah, it's Remco.

Hey, heel goed.

And that closes it.

I would try Michelle, maybe.
Michelle.
You know, just the thought.
M-I-C-H-E-L. Yeah.
I don't know if that's Michelle or...
Michelle.
Michelle.
I don't know.
Michelle.
It's Michelle.
Yes!
Not Mickle.
It's not Mickle for sure.
Michelle, as an unemployed university student, it's a little something I can chip in $59.69 for pi times my age.
You guys deserve every penny, and for the excellent work you do, you deserve more.
Exactly.
My friend Pierce wanted to also thank John for replying to his post on Google Plus about the site.
She, uh, this thing's all X'd out.
I don't know what it says.
No, I can read it.
I think it's very clear.
It says, I'd like an Atlas Shrugged Karma, since it's John's favorite, and not the one with the stupid farting noise, but with him doing the grouchy voice.
Oh, let's do the grouchy voice.
I don't know.
Let's see if we can find it.
Atlas Shrugged.
By Ayn Rand.
It stinks.
That's the one.
Exactly.
She wants a karma with that.
He wants a karma.
You've got karma.
Absolutely.
Sorry.
Wills Falls, Clover, South Carolina.
Here's a 55 double nickels on the dime.
I've been listening since Adam was on Twit a few months ago.
And the twice a week joke really should stop.
Or I'll just donate just to send Leo a douchebag call out.
But he still is Twit Network fan.
Sorry, Adam.
Adam doesn't care.
I don't care.
No, he doesn't care.
Adam does not hold grudges.
I love it.
In fact, I love it when you're on, because whenever you're on Twit, first of all, a whole bunch of people watch, because I promote it.
But secondly, you remind people to come watch our show.
However, I will say that that Fox News boy, what's his name, who was on with you on Sunday...
Yeah.
I don't like him stealing our promotion.
Because you went like, hey, you know, noagendershow.com runs on Squarespace.
And he went, my photography with my baby runs on Squarespace.
You know that's Natalie's husband, right?
Yes, I know.
Fox boy.
Fox news boy.
And he stole our promotion.
He poached.
He totally poached.
Yeah.
He makes plenty of money working for Fox.
He doesn't need to screw us.
And then go buy my app!
I'm like, Clayton Morris, blow me.
You poached on our promotion.
Here we are getting by.
We're not on Fox and Friends.
You know, we're not living in New York City, hoity-toity, living it up.
Yeah, on the big expense account.
Yeah, steal.
His expense account is bigger than what we make in a year.
Absolutely.
Guaranteed.
David Dietrich.
Oh, wait, where was I? Oh, yeah, he wants anyway.
Wills Falls wants a Don't Eat Me Hillary followed by Shut Up, It's Science.
Oh.
Wrapped with two to the head.
Hold on a second.
And karma.
Oh yeah, sure.
Whatever.
Send Adam karma, it says.
It says, don't eat me.
What is it?
Don't eat me followed by shut up, it's science.
Okay, I'm always happy to do that one.
Shut up, it's science.
And then what?
Two to the head and karma.
Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton!
Shut up already!
Science!
You have karma.
Science!
I'm beginning to like that clip more and more.
Me too.
I'm really liking it.
I wonder how long it's going to take because, you know, Kiki is not a big fan of either our politics or anything else.
She's, you know, pretty much of an Obama bot.
I wonder how long it's going to take.
And people out there, do not email her and tell her we're doing this.
I just want to see how long she finds out on her own.
And by the way, that doesn't mean that we're, you know, our politics are for nobody.
We have no agenda.
We're not for Obama.
People with an agenda, the Obama bots or even the Republicans or the Republicans.
The Romney bots.
The Romney bots or the Alex Jones bots.
They all hate us.
The Jones bones.
In fact, a lot of people just hate us.
Unfortunately, the hate always comes towards me and John always gets just like nothing.
He gets no hate mail, no nothing.
I've had plenty in my day from the Macintosh community.
Yeah, well, that's a little different when you've got, like, you know, it's just different.
Well, yeah, because they don't have guns, usually.
And, in fact, I live in Jones' backyard in Austin.
This is going to be fun.
Hey!
Hey!
Are you curry?
We need to find someone who can do that gravelly voice.
Hey, Jones, polyps, get them operated on.
Maybe Dr.
Kiki can do his voice.
Yes, he's got that guttural thing going on.
Yeah.
David Dietrich, Round Rock, Texas.
Double nickels on the dime.
I love no agenda, but this donation was in recognition of the daily source code you put up on April 26, 2010.
This is 2012.
It doesn't say 2010.
2012.
I've gotten divorced less than two weeks earlier, so the podcast Melancholy Mood and Membrance of People of Things Past suited the evening perfectly.
Thanks, Anna, for again demonstrating how great radio can be.
Oh, well, that's very kind of you.
Sorry about the divorce.
That kind of sucks.
Brett Farrell, Mason, Ohio, $50.
Borislav Marinov, Sir Borislav, to you in Aliso Viejo, California.
Please send retroactively some surgery and recovery karma to Sir Yassin, who has had surgery on Wednesday.
I hope this works because it has never been tried before.
Some new operation, I guess.
If it does, then this would be a proof that good karma can travel faster than light.
Alright, let's give that a shot then.
You've got karma.
That's $50 and another $50 from Daniel Howes in Portland, Maine.
East Coast Crackpot from the chat room.
Just paid two fines for bath salt meth...
Mephedrome.
Mephedrome.
Crystal cat and psilocybin mushrooms.
Both $1,000 fines and $210 in fees for a total of $2,420.
If I hadn't opened my door for the Black Knight DEA enforcement agents, I could be a knight.
At least the case is over and I got off with two misdemeanors.
Well, let me tell you, because as we know, as of the beginning of this year, having bath salts is now a Schedule I drug.
You could actually go to jail now for this, for bath salts.
Yeah, stick with the mushrooms.
Yeah, and weed.
Weed.
Wesley Mayring from Parts Unknown, $50.
And he hasn't, I don't know.
Oh, yeah, he's bitching about Leo promised to donate $1,000 and become an instant.
I don't want to push that.
I don't really care.
You know, if Leo could do his own thing, I don't think he needs to be a knight.
Also, can I get a karma shot from my wife who will be graduating nursing school?
Graduating from nursing school, I think it would be.
You've got karma.
And it was sent using the PayPal mobile application, which I think PayPal put into this message by itself.
Yeah, that's all we got for our donation segment for today's show, 477, a good numbered show, and a Thursday, so we should have done better than this, but you know, at least we were just getting by.
It is what it is.
Woo!
I was talking to Agent Orange when he delivered the ICOM rig for me.
Yeah.
Good man.
Very good man.
See you, Knight.
Actually, he requested, there's a Vietnam helicopter pilot who is getting a Medal of Honor, and he's handling some stuff with that, and he said, could you please send a Knight ring for the Vietnam helicopter pilot?
He will wear it during his Medal of Honor ceremony.
And that he would do a hitting in the mouth thing to the press with the ring on.
I have to say that's kind of tempting.
It's more than tempting.
And besides that, Agent Orange is one of our top go-to guys.
So he says goes.
I mean, he's one of those guys that, you know, we take orders from our listeners.
Yeah, so I think we should do that.
Size 11, I have the information.
Size 11, good.
We have those left.
So this is...
I'll give all the details.
Okay, after the show we'll discuss this.
Anyway, but he's talking about the pins.
He says, let me tell you how we do it in the intelligence community.
The pins have an infrared paint on it.
And the reason why is because from above, so if you have Secret Service or some other detail, they get the infrared pins so that when they're surveying from either drone or helicopter, they can just beam some infrared light down and see, okay, these are our guys.
So maybe we should, I'm sure we can get some IR paint on the pins.
Come on, man.
Yeah, no, I think it has to be done.
Now that you mention it, it's a must.
How awesome is it?
In case one of our knights happens to be roaming around in the middle of nowhere, Afghanistan or Pakistan, he won't get drones.
Well, not just that, but in a room, you know, you can see who's a real knight.
Light him up.
Yeah, exactly.
We just light him up, infrared.
I think it's pretty cool, man.
We have to look into how that is accomplished.
It's not hard, apparently.
You just need the IR paint.
Okay.
We have to dip them in paint.
I don't know.
Alright, alright.
That's the pins, which we're working on as we speak.
We will have them dipped in IR paint in one way, shape, or form, or have them made with the paint, which, I don't know.
You can just get an IR pen.
You can just scribble on it.
It'll work.
I mean, that's No, I want to do it so it's not sloppy.
It has to be slick.
So we'll be slick pinned with the IR so that way our knights won't get killed.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, is that a deal or what?
Ah, that's beautiful information.
Dvorak.org slash NA. Happy birthday, says Sir Donald Philip Chuck.
And he's congratulating himself, relatedly, December 27th.
And Sir Matthew Greensmith is also saying, hey, congratulate myself, relatedly.
He turned 41 on the 9th.
Happy birthday from your buddies here at the Best Podcast in the Universe.
And then we have one knighting, Sir Payne.
And now, of course, we know what he wants to be called.
Sir Payne in the ace.
So I got my blade here.
Well, it's stuck.
No, it's not.
Kevin Payne, step forward, sir, as you will be receiving one of those handsome No Agenda Knight pins with IR paint so you won't get droned and you're visible in the night and won't get killed.
It's all good stuff.
Thank you very much for supporting the best podcast in the universe.
I hereby pronounce the Sir Payne and the A. Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable for you, sir.
Come on down for your hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay, hot pants and booze, wenches and beer, Ruben S, women and rosé, geishas and sake, vodka and vanilla, bong hits and bourbon, sparkling cider and escorts, and of course, mutton and mead.
Mutton and mead.
And please...
I was just going to say, please support us.
We don't get awards.
We don't sell seeds.
We don't sell gold.
None of that.
We're supported by you.
If you think our show sucks, don't support us.
If you think you're getting some value, support us.
That's all that we're really asking for.
Right.
Dvorak.org slash NHL, Dvorak.com slash NA, NoAgendaShow.com and NoAgendaNation.com all have ways to do this.
Now entering second half of the show.
Can I get you to do something first?
Sure.
Can you, just right now, can you say, you're listening to No Agenda?
You're listening to No Agenda.
Okay.
What happened?
We're doing a clean version of the show.
Oh, please.
Shit, fuck, piss, cocksucker, motherfucker.
Now entering second half of the show.
Alright, so I have in front of me...
Oh, no.
I get to start second half of the show.
I got a real clip of the day.
Okay.
Okay.
So, there's a 911 call from, I think he's either Episcopalian or Catholic priest.
And just play it.
Oh, not this one.
I didn't even consider this one.
It was so dumb.
Well, what's funny is he had a ball gag.
No, this is a fake call.
You got totally...
Oh, come on.
It's so obviously a fake call because what 911 recording service exists where you hear the phone ringing, John?
Well, also the phone dialing.
That's the other thing.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is fake.
Yeah, I... Duh.
Okay, we don't have to play it.
No, no, no.
I'm going to play it now.
Please suffer.
Suffer through this.
Gee, it's almost like a real 911 call.
911?
Hi there.
I am stuck in a pair of handcuffs.
I'm going to need help getting out before this becomes a radical emergency.
What's the problem?
Ugh, I can't listen to this.
Okay, you don't have to play it.
How can you even...
You know, I'm hard up for clips.
You're hard up...
But that clip is so wrong.
And it was on, like, Politico or something, or The Verge, or Fox and Friends.
I don't know.
It's just, like, so dumb.
I like the way you have all the shows you hate right off the top.
Well, no, I could just go on forever.
Okay, I got a better one, then.
I got one.
I have some actual information.
Yeah, we got plenty of time.
No, you're such a douche.
Okay.
Okay, try this.
Tell me this isn't a good one.
Stomach food pump.
Okay.
Weight loss invention and basically it'll let dieters eat anything because there's a pump that you stick right in your stomach and the dieters can eat all they want without digesting.
So you see there that the food is just sucked out.
You get to eat it, you get to taste it, but then when it gets to your stomach, it's sucked out.
And then you don't gain weight.
And apparently 30% of the food from the stomach before the calories are absorbed into the body is removed and so it causes weight loss, like half of your body weight in some of these test patients.
It doesn't hit the intestines.
It doesn't get digested.
I mean, that's not bad.
It's sucked out.
That's not bad.
I mean, you eat whatever you want.
You get the flavor and everything.
Wow, wow.
Sucked out.
That's hilarious, John.
You know, I shouldn't have taken my PBA medication because I can't laugh anymore.
I don't know what to do now.
Really?
Okay, it's all yours.
All yours.
Really?
Wow.
Okay.
I just have to recover from that.
I mean, Brolf was fantastic, but you just went off the rails.
Second half of the show, I don't feel that it has to be gems.
Were you watching Letterman and getting his material?
No, that was actually another thing.
Crazy New York station.
But go on.
Jeez Louise.
Top it.
Top it.
I challenge you.
Dude, I could top that in my sleep with arms tight.
I can use Dr.
Kiki.
Just play that ten times.
Wow.
Okay.
Look.
The World Economic Forum released their Global Risk 2013 report.
This, of course, is the second half of the show.
We don't talk about sucked out and ball gags with priests and fake 911.
No, this is where the real information is, the real stuff.
My God, you're just really...
Since when?
But go on.
So this report, which you'll find in the show notes, 477.nashownotes.com.
Yes, we do Stargates in the second half of the show.
We do Alien Technology, Zero Point Energy.
This is what second half of the show is, okay?
Not ball gags.
I thought the stomach pump was second half of the show material.
But okay, if you didn't like that, it's fine.
So Klaus Schwab, who is the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, those are the guys who have the Davo thing every year, he prefaces this report, which is a pretty big report.
I'll just give you a little bit of his intro here.
As we strive to restore confidence and growth globally, leaders cannot continue with a risk-off mindset if our collective goal remains to seize transformational opportunities that can improve the state of the world.
Dynamism in our hyperconnected world requires increasing our resilience to the many global risks that loom before us.
By their nature, global risks do not respect national borders as highlighted in this report.
And we now know that extreme weather events exurbated by climate change will not limit their effects to countries that are major greenhouse gas emitters.
Exacerbated.
Exacerbated.
False information posted on social networks can spread like wildfire to the other side of the globe in a matter of milliseconds.
And genes that make bacteria resistant to our strongest antibiotics can hitch a ride with patients on an intercontinental flight.
So, he then goes on, you know, basically saying, okay, we've got to study.
These are the actual global risks that the World Economic Forum is worried about in 2013.
So, now, this, of course, you'd say this is a drinking club, I guess, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, actually, the Davos group is a skiing club.
It's a skiing club.
It is.
But there are movers and shakers in the skiing club.
Oh, all the big shots are there.
Right?
I mean, it's like the Clintons of the world.
Oh, they're all there.
It's the Bill Gateses.
It's the Berkshire Hathaway.
Scoble!
I mean, my God, Scoble is there.
Here are their top risks from nature.
Developed in partnership with this leading science journal, the chapter on X-Factors looks beyond the landscape of 50 global risks to alert decision makers to five emerging game changers.
These are the five things we have to watch out for, John, because these are risks that can ruin your business.
Number one, runaway climate change.
Is it possible that we have already passed a point of no return and that Earth's atmosphere is tipping rapidly into an inhospitable state?
That is risk number one.
Huh?
Risk number two.
Significant cognitive enhancement.
What?
I'm going to explain.
Ethical dilemmas akin to doping in sports could start to extend into daily working life.
An arms race in the neural enhancement of combat troops could ensue.
I've got news for you.
It's already happening.
3.
Rogue development of geoengineering.
Technology is now being developed to manipulate the climate.
A state or private individual could use it unilaterally.
4.
Cost of living longer.
Remember, this is a global risk.
Medical advances are prolonging life, but long-term palliative care is expensive.
Did I pronounce that right?
I think so.
Covering the costs associated with old age could be a struggle.
Kill the old!
That's exactly what they're saying.
But here it is, number five.
Proof of life's existence elsewhere in the universe could have profound psychological implications for human belief systems.
This is what they say is a global risk for 2013.
These people are insane.
That whole list is bogative.
Yeah, but this is their list.
It's serious.
They're deathly serious about this stuff.
Wow.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, yeah.
The whole report is, how many pages is this thing?
It's like, I don't know, it's like, God, it must be 50 pages.
It just goes on and on.
The Risk Response Network team.
You've got to do something to write off the skiing trip, but geez.
Now, how does that compare to the fake 911 call?
You beat me on that.
So I'll give in.
You win this show.
Well, let me give you a drunk Diane Sawyer with some agenda...
Oh, well, there you go.
You're topping yourself.
With some Agenda 21 stuff.
So, remember, the report is about America.
But, of course, we're not really going to talk about America until, like, maybe the very end.
And now we turn to other big news today.
It is official.
2012 was the hottest year in the United States since weather scientists started keeping records.
And...
Don't you love this?
They started spinning records, I think.
I think it's when they were DJ scientists.
Hotter, not by a little, but by a landslide.
Landslide!
Tonight, ABC's Dan Harris tells us about this new report and the red flags of warning about extreme heat all across the globe.
Red flag!
Oh, man, this is the last you'll save your shit.
The pictures coming out of Australia tonight are apocalyptic.
Flames devouring homes.
Apocalyptic!
Huge black and brown blossoms of smoke.
Slope!
A lone kangaroo hopping through a charred mo- A lone kangaroo hopping through a charred forest!
Moonscape!
Moonscape!
Firefighters contending with the worst possible conditions.
These swirling, vicious winds, these soaring temperatures.
These incredible winds are making it that much tougher for firefighters on the front line.
It's so hot, the government had to change its forecast maps, adding new shades of purple for temperatures possibly hitting 130 degrees.
Scenes like this are becoming more common.
Look at this NASA imagery showing the entire planet has gotten hotter in recent decades.
Here in America, 2012 was not only the warmest year on record, but also the second most extreme, featuring tornadoes, wildfires, a massive drought, and of course, Superstorm Sandy.
Which, of course, is a lie.
We have not had a horrible tornado for 198 days.
I mean, this is the biggest bullcrap report I have ever heard.
The house was there, and the water pushed it all the way over here.
Many cities had record warmth, including Washington, D.C., where a lack of action on man-made climate change is likely to mean 2012 is just a glimpse into an unpleasant future, according to many scientists.
So we shouldn't expect this is the last record.
This is by no means the last record.
I mean, you've really got to think of climate change as something that increases our risks for being unlucky.
So we need to prepare up front as we move into this warmer, hotter, more extreme world.
So how do we prepare her advice?
Take stock of where you live and protect your home by doing things like becoming more energy efficient, getting a generator, possibly buying flood insurance maybe, and possibly even raising up your water heater if it's in the basement.
How was that, huh?
Brother.
By the way, we're getting attacked already.
The chat room is under DDoS.
Seriously, we're getting, like, huge attack on the show.
Huh.
Yeah, of course.
That's because we're a threat to humanity, the show.
Yeah, we're a threat to humanity.
Yeah, I know.
Just shut up already.
What?
That was the point.
That was a cue for you to play the Kiki clip.
Oh, God damn, I'm sorry.
You know, what did you say, John?
Shut up already.
Shut up already.
Science.
Science.
It's a favorite.
Somebody was, I said it was part of a debate going on and on between, it was just what some of these online debates are around here.
Somebody had a couple of the, some of the notes from the, You remember the climate gate?
You mean from the gate to the gate to the climate gate?
You mean that?
To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gate.
Which is one of my...
Can you play that clip one more time?
The climate gate?
Yeah.
To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gates.
All right.
Why did you need that?
I'm digging through some information.
I'm going to have a nice little compliment to your piece.
And I'm having to plow through this document.
And so I needed you to stall, which you were doing when you played the Climategate thing again.
But it was hopeless because I can't apparently find anything.
I feel I'm sorry.
That's okay.
Well, then we can do something else in the meantime while you're looking.
Ah, here it is.
I found it.
I knew it.
I knew it.
Go ahead.
We didn't play a lot of the notes that were in that Climategate scandal.
And some of them are very funny.
And I want to read one, two, three of them.
These were like, you know, people say, oh, it was bullcrap because, you know, the gal busted into the email and found all these things, right?
And everyone says, well, it's just, you know, you were reading.
You weren't making sense.
It was misinterpreted.
And so you get misinterpreted as stuff like, there shouldn't be anyone else at UEA with different views from recent extreme weather due to global warming, at least not a climatologist, something like that.
So you want to keep everybody out.
We can have a proper result, there's a quote, but only by including a load of garbage.
Yeah.
Another guy.
We also have a Data Protection Act, which I will hide behind.
Anyway, so these guys were...
This is rigged.
Yeah.
Another anticlimactic...
Yeah, no, that didn't quite go anywhere, did it?
It didn't go anywhere.
I feel bad about it.
I thought it was going to be better.
That's okay, because I've got plenty of stuff.
Apparently, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I have one clip.
I'm sorry.
I got one clip.
Oh, no.
Are you sure?
Let me save it.
Let me save it, because I think this clip is so good and interesting that I'll wait for that moment.
Okay, we'll wait for that.
Let me do this for a second.
Two little dronings.
So...
This is proof that the American consumers are just Americans in general.
It's something about the English language.
We're just funny.
Well, now if you take that drug...
Yeah, you can't use that.
So there is a product.
It's the Maisto Fresh Metal die-cast drone.
It's a toy.
It's a toy drone that you can buy and you can give it to your kid.
And I actually have one.
Someone gave one to me, oh man, a while ago when we were doing the, I think the first Hot Pockets tour.
Is that the four-blade chopper?
No, it's the four-blade chopper?
What?
Is that the thing with the four blades?
No, no, no.
It's like a Global Hawk drone.
Go to this website.
Get ready.
DroneToy.Curry.com And it'll redirect you to Amazon.com.
And I just wanted to read a couple of the reviews for this Predator drone toy.
Because only Americans can do this.
There's like 300 reviews.
The Fresh Metal Tailwinds, Diecast, U.S. Military Aircraft, U.S. Air Force, Medium Altitude, Long Endurance, Unmanned Vehicle.
That's the one.
Okay.
The most helpful review here on Amazon.com.
My son is very interested in joining the Imperial Forces when he grows up.
Yeah.
He says he's not sure if he wants to help police the homeland or if he wants to invade foreign countries, so I thought a new predator drone toy would be a nice gift for him.
These drones are used both domestically and internationally to spy on people and assassinate them at the emperor's whim.
If you look through these reviews, it is the funniest shit I've ever seen.
Educational and fun.
I really wanted to show my toddler that it's okay to murder people and still come out a hero as long as you're in the air-conditioned trailer remotely operating a predator drone 10,000 miles away in Pakistan.
This is the best toy ever.
Finally, I can pretend that I'm a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.
It's like I'm sitting right there in the White House with my very own kill list.
Ha!
I bought this for my son and he spent countless blissful hours simulating massacres of weddings, funerals, and other family gatherings of brown-skinned foreigners.
He even realized that if he circled the drone back around on the first responders, his effective kill rate soared.
Neato!
That's all I'll do.
There's 300 of these reviews.
It's something...
I don't think you can do this in another language.
Of course, it's the Americans who are doing the drugs.
But sarcasm?
Yeah, but there's something beautiful about it.
I speak another language, and it's just like, yeah, something weird.
So we're like we're completely knocked off for something.
Whether you're violating constitutional rights at home or bombing children abroad, this toy's perfect for all clandestine missions.
Double tap strike to triple your pleasure and casualties.
I knew you'd like it.
Oh yeah, this is good.
It's so creepy.
It's so incredibly creepy.
So we got knocked off the stream?
Yeah, it looks like...
It was really weird because I just saw everyone got kicked off and the stream died.
So there was like some...
Some attack.
I mean, I know what happened.
You started talking about global warming and they decided to bring down that site.
No, no, you know what I mean.
They can't bring us down, though, yet.
No, because we're on Squarespace.
I can't.
Anyway, there's a new meme that I wanted to discuss with you, and this ties into that, was it Ohio, where there was Anonymous and those guys, the football team that raped the girl?
Yeah, Anonymous is in Steubenville.
Steubenville.
So this ties into, there's a meme, there's something going on about women and alcohol.
And I have thoughts about it, but I'd like to listen to this report with you, because I think that, first of all, I think the report is bogative, medically speaking, but, you know, it's science.
And then let's discuss what is going on, because there's a reason for this, I'm sure.
Oops.
Oh.
Back now with a disturbing new look at the growing problem of binge drinking in our country.
Today, the Centers for Disease Control warned that excessive drinking is a big problem, especially and acutely for women in the United States.
And it results in the deaths of some 23,000 women and girls every year.
Our report here tonight from NBC's Rahima Ellis.
So this is NBC, obviously, Brian Williams.
So 23,000, that's a lot, by the way, women and girls die from binge drinking.
Let's listen.
In movies, TV, and music, it's art imitating life.
You smell like booze!
According to a new report by the CDC, younger women aren't just drinking in large numbers.
The drinking is becoming potentially dangerous and is often overlooked as a health problem for women who respond to alcohol differently than men.
Is this true, Dr.
Dvorak?
Do women respond differently to alcohol than men?
I mean...
They get plastered, but they're women, so they must respond differently in some way, shape, or form.
They don't...
They're lighter.
They probably can't drink as much.
Oh, I think there's more science to this.
Some of these... Science.
...includes females being more susceptible to the effect of alcohol on risk of cancer.
Huh?
Huh?
The effects of alcohol on the liver.
Females are more susceptible to the effects of alcohol on the brain in terms of brain damage.
What?
I mean, seriously?
Does this make any sense to you?
No.
Binge drinking is defined as at least four drinks in one occasion.
Binge drinking is four drinks in one occasion?
That's binge drinking?
That's what's defined as.
Long Island iced tea, yeah.
Well, even that, still, four, that's not binge drinking.
You can't drink four, though.
Something young women say they see all the time.
Women may be like, they like to let loose and have fun.
They want to go and they want to drink and they want to relax.
In a survey of about 278,000 women 18 and older, nearly 14 million women binge drink about three times a month.
That's one in eight women.
Among 7,500 high school girls, the report finds one in five report binge drinking.
Who is most likely to binge drink?
White and Hispanic women between 18 and 34 years old and those with household incomes of $75,000 or more.
Why is it happening?
Experts say it could be pressure.
One of the things that we might be seeing is a coping mechanism in binge drinking and alcohol as being something to be stress relief.
Experts say more education is needed to help young women make wise choices about whether they should drink alcohol and how much.
So this is a weird report, man.
Well, hold on a second.
When I was doing the Generation X3 show, we brought this topic up more than once.
And, uh, we had two women that rotated in and out, but it mostly was Dorian, who was one of the, uh, editors.
And she also did the, uh, some, a show of her own.
And all of everybody on the panel, they're all ex-geners, uh, or Y or whatever.
Noodlers, noodlers.
There's noodlers.
They're between, uh, 20 and 30.
Uh-huh.
And, uh, they all binge drink.
And they talk about it, but they don't talk about it.
I think the definition of binge drinking is having four drinks or four shots, let's say.
It's bull crap.
They drank.
They just drank until they got plastered.
And they would talk about this on the show.
And Dorian says Friday and Saturday she'd go out and get drunk.
And...
And they all said the same thing.
They said it was the pressures of work.
I think that noodle kid is on to something.
Because apparently the kids raised today...
But this is not kids, John.
This is women.
Women are getting cancer quicker because of binge drinking.
I think they're just trying to scare them.
This is the CDC. Yes, thank you.
You said it.
And why are they trying to scare them?
I have a theory.
Oh, I don't have a theory why they're trying to scare them.
I'm sure yours will be interesting for me to comment upon.
Because I believe the establishment elites are afraid that women are going to start really loosening up and waking up And doing their own thing and becoming completely free and not being...
Women are enslaved by definition of what the media and establishment, how it wants them to be.
And when women drink, when everyone drinks, but of course when women also drink, then they become free and they start to think for themselves.
No, no.
This is a war on women.
I can't...
You watch it.
I can't quite put my finger on it.
I'll take it as a war on women.
We'll see how that works out.
You might have the war on women there, but I have Erin Burnett.
where there's an obvious you think there's a war on women there's a war on white men by white women boys club white boys club after being propelled to a re-election with the help of women and minority voters the nation's first black president appears to be stacking his second term cabinet with white men yeah the president's choice for treasury secretary is expected to be jack luce so he could surprise us there We don't know, but that's the expectation.
That's after nominating John Kerry for state, Chuck Hagel for defense, and John Brennan for CIA chief.
Obviously, as you can see, they are all white men.
Now, with Hillary Clinton exiting the State Department and Lisa Jackson stepping down as head of the EPA, the Obama administration's at a net loss when it comes to women and minorities in the Cabinet.
Our friend tonight, Roland Martin, Rahan Salaam, and former Pentagon official Rosa Brooks, a columnist for Foreign Policy Rosa, let me start with you.
Because, you know, this is a president who campaigned aggressively on women's reproductive rights and equal pay for equal work.
It was a big part of his campaign.
He won the women's vote by double digits over Mitt Romney.
Should the president be asking for something that he mocked, i.e., binders of women?
So it makes total sense.
When the women get drunk, they're going to start figuring out that Obama's having white men run the show.
I think that they should get rid of Napolitano.
But anyway, there's another...
Yeah, but there was a very bad joke in there that even I didn't go there.
Which was?
Well, but Homeland Security's run by a dude!
Yeah, you're right.
You shouldn't have gone there.
I'm sorry.
Hey, welcome back, everybody.
Looks like we're back.
Void Zero, our 19-inch night.
I met him, by the way.
He drove down from Groningen, from the northern part of Holland, and we had lunch for a couple hours.
Oh, that's nice.
So let me play another clip as a follow-up to that one.
Okay.
This is the Rothschild on quota clip.
This is a woman, Lynn Forrester to Rothschild.
She was giving a talk at the Economist's Forum.
At the CUSA conference?
I thought she was interesting.
She's a little Rothschild-ish, but she makes a few points that are kind of in contradiction to our friend Erin.
It's not nothing, but I think that if we look within ourselves and we're ready to make the sacrifices that anybody has to make to get to the top, we can do it.
I recently was with a group squadron Kill it.
What's wrong?
Play the other clip.
...tables, which is, what is the role of women in the inclusive capitalism?
So, thank you for asking that.
Thank you!
What was that?!
Did she just have an orgasm?
What was that?
It's not inclusive if you don't include half the population.
That's true.
That is true.
And again, age, okay?
So when I went to law school, we were just about 50%.
Women are 50% of college and university graduates, 50% of law school, 50% of medical school, about a third, a bit more of business school.
We're half of the entry level.
We are half of mid-level.
We're 35% of the Federal Reserve Board, but we're 14% of corporate boards on the Fortune 500.
We're 3% of CEOs on the Fortune 500.
We're 17% of Congress.
So there obviously is a women...
Most powerful women, and I think Patty Sellers from the Most Powerful Women issue is here someplace, and she probably asked that question.
I have a sort of not politically correct view.
On this issue.
Which is, I think women should stop whining, and I think it's time that we just, in my experience, women decide not to go.
Often.
Yes, there are.
There are obviously, you know, stereotypes against...
I'm telling you, there is something going on.
Like, don't start thinking for yourself, women.
Don't drink too much.
Binge drinking at four drinks.
I'm telling you, and this is, of course, the Rothschild.
She is a huge globalist creep.
Oh yeah.
She's a creep.
And by the way, she forgot to mention that women are 90% of all strippers.
She forgot that little statistic.
Just like, wow, there's something going on, and we're going to find out what it is, but there's something going on where they want women to shut up, stay in their place, don't drink, don't get any ideas.
Don't get any ideas.
Hey!
I'm telling you.
Don't get any ideas.
Remember the whole binders of women thing with Romney and the Republican Party and all white men?
Where's Rachel Maddow right now on Obama's cabinet?
It's like all white dudes, including Napolitano.
This is crazy.
She's a white dude.
Damn it.
Damn it.
So, I don't know.
Well, you know, the one thing that was brought up on this other thing was the clip that I had to kill because it was the wrong clip.
They brought up the fact that in Norway, they go in the opposite direction.
And I think they're going to do this here, too, and I think it's going to be the quid pro quo.
If you just shut up, we'll do the following, which they did in Norway.
By law, any public corporation has to have 50% of the board members' women.
In Norway, this is true.
By law.
Wow.
By law.
Wow.
Which is not really the idea.
I mean, when you're running a corporation, you know, especially if it's a small corporation, you want your buddies in there as the board members.
Yeah.
It's a club.
It's a drinking club.
Especially on the compensation committee.
Yeah.
Totally.
You don't want some chick there getting ideas.
That's bad.
That's not good.
That's not good at all.
But that's what's going to happen here, and it's going to screw things up.
We've been doing everything we can to screw up the corporate world, and I think it's going to get worse.
Yeah, well, what great multinationals do we have in Norway that we know of?
I don't want to harp on Norway, but, you know.
Well, I don't know, but Norway's got issues, apparently.
Hmm.
Okay, let's go.
Hold on a second.
Giant multi...
Yeah, well, if you're going to force who's on the board, nobody's going to want to be there.
You know what I'm saying?
Multinational Norway.
A little consult book of knowledge here.
Mm-hmm.
I shall give you the...
25 best national workplaces in Europe 2012.
Let's see where these places are.
These are the best 25.
Microsoft is number one as the best multinational in Europe.
Okay, but they're not in Norway.
Well, I'm sure they have an office in Norway.
No, but they have a Norway...
Something.
Norway has oil.
I mean, that's what they have.
Yeah, it's just oil.
It's oil.
I'm seeing nothing.
It seems kind of like a...
Oh, okay.
Thank you, Kat, in the chat.
Yes, Norway has the Opera browser.
You know what's great?
The guys have removed the delay on the chat, so now it's really like a second or two.
That's very cool because it used to be 30 seconds or 40 seconds.
And so now people are like in real time.
It's pretty sweet.
They have one big pharma.
Novo Nordisk.
Right.
Yeah, that's pretty big.
Yeah, they got a huge number of employees, 401.
There's 400 dudes and one girl.
Well, it depends on the board.
Anyway, okay, enough.
I'm done.
Okay, I just have a few things left.
I do have one clip that I want to play before the show's over, which is something you might like.
Okay, well, no, no.
Hey, hey, come on.
Just because you had some weird stuff doesn't mean I don't...
I mean, you had Clip of the Day.
Yeah, but that was gratuitous.
No, it was not gratuitous.
And that's going to live on for a long time.
Yeah, it still doesn't hold a candle to the science already.
Yeah, but I don't want to end the show and then you're going to say, don't make fun of me when you're going to yell at me.
No, I'm not going to yell at you.
I feel this is all deserved.
Oh, okay.
Well, let's do your awesome clip.
I want to hear your clips.
Okay, well, you know, we talk about how do you brainwash the public and who's the best at it.
I've always thought Disney.
Right, of course.
And, you know, my wife, Mimi, when we go to Disney World Florida, Disneyland is one thing.
It's old-fashioned.
It's funky.
It's kind of cool.
It's not bad.
But Disney World Florida, you know, Walt decided that he didn't like what was happening in Anaheim because this park was surrounded by a bunch of sleazy motels and strip clubs and all this stuff that was ruining the atmosphere, even though once you're inside Disney, because it has a big hill around it, you can't see out.
But that's beside the point.
So he decided in Florida he's going to buy up, secretly, buy up all this swampland in the middle of the Orlando nothingness and create this huge world in and of itself.
And when you're at this place, it's a wonderful place, you drive in and all of a sudden you're in Disney.
You're in a real world, a new world.
They have their own bus system.
They have their own police.
It's like a Nazi state.
That's the way Mimi sees it.
It's a complete Nazi state.
Yeah, what's it called again?
Happy Land?
What's it called?
The world's greatest something or other.
No, no, no.
It's called Nazi State.
They call it the Disney Nazi State.
But don't they have a village there too?
You can actually buy a house?
Oh, that's Celebration.
That's just slightly outside of the big town.
Yeah, Celebration is really creepy if you want to check out the town of Celebration.
Okay, so this is the latest thing they're doing.
I got this from the stomach pump people out of New York.
This is the creepy, listen to this, it's very interesting.
I got it, I got it.
At Space Mountain, gone.
Because Disney World is unveiling these digital wristbands.
They just look like regular rubber wristbands.
But you can gain entry with them, pay for sodas.
They'll hold your place in line.
And they'll even give information about your child.
So let's say it's your child's birthday.
When your child reaches the character, then the character will say, Hello, Paloma.
Happy birthday.
People are freaked out about it because it's a little creepy and Big Brother-ish.
Little Big Brother-ish there.
But we always love Disney.
Yes.
Always.
We do.
I'll go.
I'll get the wristband.
Oh, I love the...
It's a little creepy.
But we always love Disney just in case, you know, I don't want to get kicked out of my gear.
No, no, no.
It's an ABC show and they were mocking it.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, they're working for ABC. This is a problem, again, with commercialism.
Exactly.
You know, you're working at ABC. You can't slam Disney.
But hold on a second.
This guy already went too far.
That's why, if you listen to what he said, I like this clip.
He said, oh, no, no, I'm just kidding you.
But he already blew it.
What was that guy?
He's fired.
He's going to get a memo.
Oh, yeah.
No, he's not getting a memo.
He's fired.
You're never going to see that guy again.
He said, he said, that's creepy.
And then he could hear him going, oh, we're just kidding.
Yeah, I know.
He freaked.
You're right.
Oh, my God.
No, I knew it had to be ABC. What an a-hole.
So anyway, that's...
I think that this is the future.
I think everyone's going to end up with...
You don't have to chip the kids.
You just give them wristbands.
You ever try to get one of those wristbands off?
You've got to cut them off.
You heard about the lawsuit in Texas, right?
No.
Oh, yeah.
So the school, where is it?
San Antonio, which of course is, San Antonio is the military industrial complex, people.
So, you know, you're going to send your kids to school there, like, duh.
So they make the kids wear ID tags with RFID. And one mom said, screw it, you know, I don't want my kid being tracked.
And there was a lawsuit and they lost.
And the judge said, yeah, no, the school can force your kids to do that.
So that would be a...
Shut up, slave!
Yeah.
So that's where it's leading.
I had just a few things.
I got from our military-industrial complex contacts confirmation that Where the troop movement is going.
And this is something that we heard several months ago.
We knew it was going to happen.
Was it not our economic hitman who said Mali?
Either Mali or Malawi.
There's two of them going on.
Well, Mali is where it's happening now.
Yeah, Mali is...
No, we knew about this months ago.
Yeah, but expect, like, big things to happen.
Big terrorists, Al-Qaeda on the Mali Peninsula, Al-Qaeda, Taliban, whatever the...
Baku, Bakasha, Bakarakarakara, whatever the name they come up with, Mali is going to be in the news a lot.
I have...
Along with that, another name for you.
Remember, Waziristan.
You heard the name Waziristan first on the best podcast in the universe, which won no podcast award.
By the way, Norway stat oil is, of course, the big company.
Yeah, it's a big one.
Stat oil meaning state run.
Yeah, stat.
Let's see.
Northeastern Afghanistan and southern Tajikistan.
It's interesting.
It's a Persian operation.
It's very, very important.
Is it a Russian pipeline going through there or what?
Yeah.
Okay, well, that'd be fun.
We're going to blow that up.
It's not going to happen.
Oh, yeah.
Can't put up with that bullcrap.
No Russian pipelines running through our turf.
We're spending all the money on this operation over there.
Why do the Russians think they're going to poach?
Go around.
So while all of this, all the bullcrap is going on with all of the...
Gun stuff.
Of course, there are actual things taking place, which also are on their own timetable.
Before all Sandy Hook and all that stuff happened, we were tracking the cyber legislation, which also still has to come out, right?
We still need an executive order on how we can have businesses collaborate with the government and share information.
Share information about customers so we can track terrorists.
Remember sharing is spying?
Remember all that, John?
Yes, good.
So, of course, we have to ratchet that up again.
Experts say they've never seen anything like it.
A massive onslaught of cyber attacks on America's biggest banks.
Onslaught!
This is new.
I mean, this is a repeat of what they did, you know, before, you know, like a couple months ago.
They just started it up again.
Well, they had to because nobody paid attention the first time.
Exactly.
Slowing down their websites, even forcing some to shut down temporarily.
Shut down!
Costing them money.
Who could it be, John?
Costing them money.
But who's responsible?
Who's doing this?
Terrorists.
This is now, as a persistent threat, been the longest industrial sector attack that we've seen in recorded cyber attack history.
In recorded cyber attack history?
John, can you please find for me...
In the Library of Congress, the recorded cyber attack history.
The security firm Radware has investigated the attacks for the banks.
They say it's been happening in three waves since September, with two attacks in just the past month.
What makes this so alarming?
The total number of banks attacked.
20 of America's top institutions.
Oh my God!
Carl Herberger of Radware won't name them, but CNN had confirmed during the first wave that these five had been hit.
This is the second wave, you see.
This is the second wave longest in recorded cyber attack history.
Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, and PNC Bank.
The scope and sophistication of the attacks, according to experts, points to a nation being behind this.
A nation!
John?
A nation?
Do you have any idea what nation could that be?
Yes, it's got to be Iran.
Just a loose group of hackers.
It's not a loose group of hackers.
Loose group of drinking hackers.
When the wave started in September, Senator Joe Lieberman, then chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, said, I think this was done by Iran.
Analyst James Lewis agrees, saying it's likely retaliation for previous cyber attacks on Iran and for other things.
Yeah, like Stuxnet and all that crap we threw at them.
Duh!
The Iranians have paid a lot of attention since Stuxnet to cybersecurity and to developing their own attack capabilities.
The trigger in this case was probably some attacks by unknown foreign parties against Iran's main oil terminal, Karg Island, back in the summer.
And that appears to have led them to, you know, retaliate and respond.
And it's a good way to make a point that they aren't happy with Yeah.
Anyway, so this, of course, is just a trumped-up bullcrap story.
And actually, if you listen to it, the guy then goes to explain how a DDoS attack works.
It's not just computers.
Entire data centers are being used.
I should play that, actually.
Carl Herberger of Radware says Iran may not be behind this.
Whoever it is, how are they doing it?
Hackers often lasso a bunch of computers, making them do their bidding, just overflowing websites with requests.
Lasso!
I'm going to lasso some computers.
And slowing them down or shutting them down.
But in this case, experts say the hackers, possibly Iran, are not just taking control of a bunch of computers, but entire data centers, which bring more firepower to attack the banks.
Firepower!
And Herberger says the hackers are also infiltrating the encryption process.
Encryption process!
The way we secure our online payments.
Herberger says no accounts have been breached.
No money has been stolen.
But...
What's the point?
Our harbingers for the onslaught.
Okay.
What the point is...
That's enough.
Okay.
The point is...
This, the Business Roundtable.
Are you familiar with the Business Roundtable, Tom?
Okay.
The Business Roundtable.
Yeah, Drinking Club.
But it's the biggest drinking club in the world.
Of course, it has all the douchebags in there.
Let's just look at the executive committee.
We have chairman and president of the Boeing Corporation, Honeywell.
We've got the president, Procter& Gamble.
Hey, instead of going to the club, Boeing, go fix your 787 that's falling apart.
Yeah.
So they have come out and they have made a statement, and this is what it's all about, that they want to hurry along the public-private collaboration to combat cyber threats.
I get that, yes.
It is a scam.
Scam.
Jamie Dimon, Imel.
Yeah, they've been told that, look, you're working for the government, so get your act together.
Can I just say one thing about your conversation you had with Horowitz about the Boeing 787?
What about it?
Well, you were saying that there were going to be lawsuits.
You're wrong.
Because there's legislation preventing such.
Yes.
And once the aircraft has been certified, then that's it.
The aircraft is certified.
You can sue anybody for anything, obviously.
But certification means the government has certified the aircraft as airworthy.
So these things can be falling from the sky left and right and nobody would...
Boeing could just go...
Yeah, well, you know...
It's not good.
It's not good.
No, nothing's fine, fine.
Yeah.
It's all plastic and we did it outside in some place else and we don't care.
Well, you know my take on plastic planes.
I'm no fan.
Right, but they have two turbo fans on the plane.
Yeah.
This show is running over time.
That's what I can complain about.
Okay.
We got no donations, and you ended up running the show as though it was a big donation day.
Well, I had to make up for the priest with the ball gag in his mouth.
Yeah, but you cut it off within two seconds.
Should we make it an end-of-show clip?
No, I don't have a good end-of-show clip, not to mention it.
Forget it.
That's alright.
It'll all be good on the next episode, on Sunday.
Sunday show.
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!
Yeah.
I will remind you that you had Clip of the Day, my friend, so...
Yeah, well, I feel bad.
Yeah.
Woo!
No, you shouldn't feel bad, because, once again, you brought it.
You brought the crazy.
The only guy who brought the crazy was Alex Jones.
No, you brought the Black Crows.
It turns out that it's a comedy group from the 20s.
I've learned something.
That's highly appreciated.
They do race material too, believe it or not.
I can't wait.
Anyway, everybody, going home tomorrow, if all goes according to plan, we will be with you Sunday from Camp Mofo in Austin Tejas and could not be happier.
Or from Atlanta.
Atlanta.
You'll be in Atlanta at a motel.
And Mickey will be in the holding tank.
No, no, no.
Don't put that out there in the universe.
This is extremely wrong what you're doing.
That's not good.
That's not good.
Superstitious.
Coming to you from Gitmo Nation Lowlands in Amsterdam.
Day 36 in exile in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And not necessarily in exile, but holding my own here in northern Silicon Valley.
