Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 4, 9 or 8.
This is No Agenda.
Enjoying the new ice age here at the Travis Heights Hideout where SoCo meets MoFo in the capital of the Drone Star State in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from hazy, hazy northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
Sorry, I kind of stepped on your Dvorak there.
I noticed that.
Well, it's because you went, I'm John C. Dvorak.
You're doing like a new Dvorak thing.
Yeah, well, you know, you have to be, you actually got an itchy trigger finger.
No, well, you know, I have to anticipate the same way you have to anticipate.
Well, whatever.
Yeah.
Anyway, let me just say, John, happy Greek Independence Day.
Yeah, happy Greek Independence Day to you and all the people out there.
Hey, wait, but wait, but wait.
Happy World Tuberculosis Day.
Oh, how about that?
Yeah.
So we should be happy about tuberculosis?
Yes.
And happy third anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
You'd never know.
This hasn't been more affordable.
Well, not according to the statement by El Presidente.
He's full of crap.
I watched his show again this morning.
We probably should play it.
Actually, let's do it right now.
So he has a podcast, The President.
Yeah.
Which is, what is it called?
It's just a clip from his video thing, right?
It's not separate.
Well, yes, it's his video thing.
It's a video podcast.
Oh, yeah, no, I know.
I thought you meant an audio podcast.
No, whoa, you could also subscribe to it as an audio podcast.
Right, but it's just a video podcast in audio.
Yeah, correct.
Just the audio track.
Yes, correct, correct.
Of the video podcast.
Yes, it is not a specifically produced, but it's a podcast nonetheless because it has about the same audience as most podcasts, which is nothing.
No one watches this except me.
Yes, their audience is extremely low.
And so, of course, as we do every single Sunday, as Miss Mickey has made the Lucky No Agenda pancakes, and we're sitting at the table, and this is the only day, by the way, Thursdays and Sundays, I'm allowed to have the laptop on the breakfast table, because, you know, it's kind of rude.
I thought you had a studio.
No, but for prepping, I have the laptop while we're eating.
Oh, for prepping.
Yeah, I'm allowed to prep while we eat.
Got it.
And how does the president usually start?
Heil Hitler.
He usually says, Heil everybody.
But he didn't start like this.
And Mickey immediately goes, ah, someone told him.
He's like, dude, it's getting a little obvious, this whole Heil everybody thing.
It's now been three months since the tragic events in Newtown, Connecticut.
I want you to listen to what he's saying in this report because there's so many words that we identify as controlling code and terms that are bogative.
It just boggled my mind.
But it does lead into something that I have discovered that is, well, we've already discovered it, but now I have absolute proof as to what's going on.
I think it's important, but this is, I think we just have to listen to this to pick up on the little code words.
Three months since we lost 20 innocent children and six dedicated adults who had so much left to give.
By the way, do you hear the horrible audio on this thing?
It's like they got a generator running at the White House.
Three months since we, as Americans, began asking ourselves if we're really doing enough to protect our communities and keep our children safe.
Did we ask ourselves that?
Maybe somebody did.
I'm surprised he's not talking about NCAA brackets.
Well, that video I skipped, but yeah, we have that video too if you want to see him do the brackets.
...a loved one on that terrible day.
Three months doesn't even begin to ease the pain they're feeling right now.
It doesn't come close to mending the wounds that may never fully heal.
May never.
Of course they'll never fully heal.
But as a nation, the last three months have changed us.
Oh, okay.
This is very important, John.
We've changed as a nation in the last three months.
They forced us to...
Was there a memo on this?
Yes, you didn't get it.
...answered some difficult questions about what we can do, what we must do, to prevent the kinds of massacres we've seen in Newtown and Aurora and Oak Creek.
And Afghanistan and Iraq and Pakistan.
Oh, I'm sorry.
As well as the everyday tragedies that happen far too often in big cities and small towns all across America.
Hmm.
Today there's still genuine disagreement among well-meaning people about what steps we should take to...
I love this.
Okay, here's where it starts to get interesting.
Genuine disagreement amongst well-meaning people, i.e.
the a-holes who don't want to do what I want them to do.
Reduce the epidemic of gun violence.
The epidemic of gun violence.
Did the CDC put out a memo?
I didn't see any epidemic.
How do we define an epidemic of gun violence?
Didn't we have a clip recently of someone doing the statistical analysis?
It's gone down!
Yes, it's gone down.
So there's no epidemic, it's just the opposite.
But yet, it's deemed an epidemic.
Like swine flu was an epidemic?
I think these are weighty words that have just been thrown out rather callously.
...in this country.
But you, the American people, have spoken.
That's right.
I forgot.
What did you say, John?
I didn't say anything.
I was watching basketball.
You've made it clear that it's time to do something.
And over the last few weeks, senators here in Washington have listened and taken some big steps forward.
Two weeks ago, the Senate advanced a bill that would make it harder for criminals and people with severe mental illness.
Okay, whoa, hold on a second.
The Senate has advanced a bill that would make it harder for criminals, so clearly it's easy for criminals, or it's hard but not harder, and people with mental illness.
Now, this is the...
Don't most criminals buy their guns through a gun underground network?
You know, like the one run by the Justice Department?
Yeah, in Mexico, that one.
Weeks ago, the Senate advanced a bill that would make it harder for criminals and people with severe mental illness from getting their hands on a gun.
So you're right about that.
The criminals are like, oh man, they make it harder.
How's it going to be harder?
They don't buy from a store.
I mean, a hardcore criminal, a street gangster, does not wander into big five sporting goods and say, hey, I'd like to get myself a piece.
Correct.
But it's about the mentally ill thing.
That's what I want to focus on here.
So let's listen now.
An idea supported by 9 out of 10 Americans.
Oh!
What?
Is he a doctor?
I'm not a dentist.
9 out of 10 Americans support this bill.
Wow.
I mean, we should go on the street.
But you know what?
I'm pretty sure that if you ask the question correctly, and the question is, don't you think, that's how you ask the question, don't you think that we should prohibit people with mental illness from having guns?
And I think you're right, 9 out of 10 people will say, absolutely, I don't want some crazy guy with a gun.
You should put it better than that.
You should say...
Don't you think that a homicidal maniac who is certifiably mentally ill and a danger to society should not have a gun?
But that is not the question because that's not what they're really shooting for.
They're going for a very different level of insane.
Including a majority of gun owners.
Oh, a majority of gun owners.
Well, they're all insane, too.
Yeah, of course.
The Senate also made progress on a bill that would crack down on anyone who buys a gun as part of a scheme.
Did he say crank down?
Crack down.
Okay.
Crack down.
Crack down.
...scheme to funnel it to criminals, reducing violent crime and protecting our law enforcement officers.
Finally, the Senate took steps to reinstate and strengthen a ban on the sale of military style assault weapons.
God, I love the description.
Remember what used to be the assault weapon ban.
Now it is literally military style assault weapons.
So, the adjective assault weapon, well, that's a noun, but the assault is an adjective.
Am I right on that?
I don't know.
Keep playing.
Well, it's important because military style, you know, doesn't mean it's a military weapon.
No, it's a cheap trick.
It's like a toy can also be a military style toy.
Yeah, I have a military style BB gun.
Yeah, exactly.
Set a 10-round limit for magazines and make our schools safer places for kids to learn and to grow.
Okay.
These ideas shouldn't be controversial.
Here it comes.
They're common sense.
They're supported by a majority of the American people.
Okay.
Majority of the American people.
Common sense.
Shouldn't be difficult.
And, of course, supported by mayors against guns.
Or I think it's mayors against illegal guns.
Joe O. Biden put the top of his head back on and went off to New York City.
And here was Mayor Bloomberg.
And it starts to become clear what this is really about because, as you know, or most people will know, there's a big fracas here.
Because they pulled out the outright banning of military-style assault weapons of the proposed legislation.
and it's like, oh, they're only leaving a few things in, but it really is about the insanities.
89% of likely voters approve of background checks for all gun sales.
And 86% of voters approve such background checks in polls in a national cross-section of 21 states.
And that's in line with other recent polls that have found that more than 90% of Americans support background checks for all gun buyers.
Okay, now it's important that you hear all gun buyers.
In other words, John, it would become illegal if, you know, if I come to, no, let's just say you happen to be here in Austin, Texas, and you say, wow, that's a nice looking gun you got there.
And I say, yeah, you want to buy it?
And he'll be like, yeah.
And I'll say, okay, you know, 50 bucks.
And if you give me 50 bucks and I give you that gun, that will be an illegal transaction.
I have to call the federal authorities and do a background check to make sure you're not insane.
Yeah.
And polling overseen by Republican Frank Luntz has found that 82% of gun owners, including 74% of National Rifle Association members, support requiring criminal background checks for anyone purchasing a gun.
There's no real debate among the American people.
No, not at all.
No debate going on here.
No debate.
No debate happening.
Around the country, Americans understand that requiring a background check for every gun sale is just good common sense.
Common sense.
It's just good common sense.
And some states are taking action, including New York, thanks to Governor Cuomo, and Colorado, thanks to Governor Hickenlooper, have seen such terrible mass murders.
And in Connecticut, Governor Malloy has proposed and legislators appear prepared to act on firearms safety reforms as well.
They include making private gun sales subject to background checks.
There you go.
So private...
Gun sales.
Private.
Just private.
Limiting the size of high-capacity ammunition magazines and strengthening anti-gun trafficking measures.
So what happens is, you know, so this is obviously a coordinated effort.
We have the president with his little show.
The vice president goes to Bloomberg, who will do anything to control the slaves of America because he gets off on it.
By the way, he's short.
Oh, yeah, he's a midget.
Is there like an entry on the Wikipedia for his height?
Because he's like half O'Biden's height.
It's crazy.
I believe he's about 5'2"?
Maybe.
Wow.
So, of course, this happens, but then a memo goes out.
And this is pretty much the essence of this program, is to show you how the system works.
So the memo has to go to everybody's telescreens.
And I happened to focus my Yagi antenna on Washington State.
And this is how these measures are being interpreted and rebroadcast to the human resources who must comprehend what is happening.
What is so frustrating for people is that after many of these mass shootings, we discover that the perpetrator had this history of serious mental problems and that family and friends even tried to intervene and get them evaluated or committed only to find that they didn't meet the legal requirement.
Now today, a bill was debated that tries to do something about this very problem.
So, here we go, everybody.
We need to have legislation that makes it easier for your friends and family to lock you up and deem you insane.
And this report is very interesting, as you will hear from an actual family who had their son committed murder.
But if you hear all the warning signs, you will be very, very disturbed.
I have to be literally a dangerous person right now.
This is one of your fine legislators in Washington state.
Representative Tammy Green favors strengthening the state's involuntary commitment law to include potentially dangerous as well.
Potentially dangerous, John!
Expansion allows the decision maker to say, wait a minute, we see this pattern happening again.
Pre-crime.
And the family has told us this has happened again, and we have history this has happened.
History is herself a mental health nurse.
Every day when I work, I see someone who didn't get the help they needed until it was a little too late.
And if we catch it early, then we don't have the naked guy running down the street with a gun.
Oh, the naked guy!
Not the naked guy running down the street with a gun again!
By the way, if you are the naked...
That meme hasn't been around for a couple years.
However, if you are the naked guy running down the street with a gun, I think it may be time to seek some professional help.
But I'm not quite sure how you can assess that someone is potentially dangerous.
After last year's deadly rampage at Seattle's Cafe Racer, which left five innocents dead, the gunman's father...
Notice they say innocence, which is another military term.
I like that.
Yeah.
You like that?
So we're like, innocence.
Isn't that what they say?
When I was in Iraq, it was like, oh yeah, two innocents were killed.
But that usually means people of an unoccupied country.
I wonder if these five innocents were brown colored.
Yeah.
Five innocents dead, the gunman's father talked about seeing dangerous signs in his son.
Dangerous signs.
Are you ready?
You might want to write this down.
Hello, chat room in particular.
Write this down.
We heard things like, the army's out to get my memory.
He had foamed at the mouth and had these rants about the world.
What?
I'm telling you, every person who listens to this podcast, you are now officially potentially dangerous and soon to be the naked guy running down the street with a gun.
And how it ought to be.
How it ought to be!
And they were not easy to listen to, but they weren't.
I'm going to go over there and kill those people.
And so many times you hear families saying, we tried to get help, we couldn't get help, we knew this was coming, but they didn't meet the law.
I haven't heard that once.
I haven't heard that once.
Have you ever seen an interview where someone said, well, you know, my son, here we go.
How about the Joker in Colorado?
Where's his family saying, oh, we saw all the signs.
We couldn't get help.
Quite the opposite.
He sent an entire book to his psychiatrist.
He was in an actual psychiatry program studying his brain.
Yeah.
At the university.
Yeah, of course.
The most recent guy, the guy who shot a couple people, he was described as a really nice guy, but a loner.
Yeah.
He wasn't described as somebody he tried to get help for.
He's just a loner.
Loner, yeah.
Although, by the way, it was his parents who described him as a loner, which I thought was a little odd.
That's a little sad.
So this is a new war on crazy.
That's really what this is.
And I tried to get a clip.
I didn't have enough time.
Just as we were going to start the broadcast, as it were, a reporter from the Hartford...
Oh, what is the name of that thing?
It's the Hartford Courant, I think?
Yeah, that's a paper.
Which, by the way, their logo is a big eye.
A big all-seeing...
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, in a triangle, I'm telling you.
Yeah, Hartford Courant.
You've got to see this.
C-O-U-R-A-N-T, I believe.
Yes, I believe so.
Hartford Courant.
Courant.
Hartford Courant.
Because I saw the page.
No, I... I'll find it for you.
So one of their reporters has now come clean with a...
Hold on, I think I have the...
But the big news in Connecticut is that their women's basketball team, the University of Connecticut, mows down Idaho 105-37, proving that women's basketball is a farce.
It's the Concord Monitor.
Oh, the Concord Monitor.
Well, that would, yeah.
Look at the Concord Monitor.
And Anne-Marie Timmons says here, after the Monitor's mental health series In Crisis was published last week, I got one reaction more than any other.
I got no eyeball on here.
Well, that's such a minor story.
Readers were surprised, some unconvinced, that 26% of New Hampshire's residents have a mental health disorder.
The statistic appeared in the second story of the series and came from a 2010 study.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Didn't 26% seem high?
A caller asked me last week.
Not to me, because I'm one of the 26%.
This woman is all over the news today.
I've been hospitalized twice for suicidal ideation.
What's this woman's name?
I can look it up.
Anne-Marie Timmons.
T-I-M-M-I-N-S. Anne-Marie Timmons.
Suicidal ideation.
Most recently for...
And she said that?
Yes.
She used that word?
Suicidal ideation apparently is something that you can...
Yeah, but who would say it?
Well, she did.
So the whole point is you're going to see more and more of this mental health stuff.
Is this the woman that's playing the...
Is this...
Hold on a second.
Is this an old woman?
No, she's kind of young.
There's another Anne-Marie Timmons who apparently plays the accordion.
No, it's not.
She's in Kansas City.
She's quite pretty looking.
Is this a woman that's Ann Marie Timo on Twitter?
No.
Ann Marie Timmons.
I know, but her name is Ann Marie Timmons, but her Twitter handle is Ann Marie Timo.
I have no idea.
She's cute.
She's...
She has only seven followers, so it looks like a scam.
Seven followers.
Yeah.
Is she the Anne-Marie?
How many Anne-Marie Timmons are there in the world?
I never heard of such a name.
She's one on MySpace.
I don't know.
Who cares?
I mean, the point is...
Maybe we can do some research on her.
Okay.
Well...
Is she cute?
You say, how old is she?
I'd say she's 40.
No, this is not this girl then.
Alright.
Do you think this is a plant?
Do you think this is bullcrap?
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
I think we're going to see...
It sounds like bullcrap.
It just has bullcrap written all over it.
Yeah, so I believe...
Remember, the DSM-5 is coming out.
I believe we're going to see more and more of this mental health stuff.
And first, it's guns.
Okay?
So it's like, well, you know, you're mentally ill or you're somewhere on the spectrum or whatever it is.
You can't have a gun.
And you're going to be ratted out by your family or your friends or your neighbors.
Like, oh, hey, you know, that guy's a little kooky.
So I think, you know, you should, you know, we have the potential.
Yeah, he's wearing a, hey, this guy's wearing a t-shirt that says, end the Fed.
What do you think that means?
He wants to end the federal government.
Exactly.
He's wearing an Atlas Shrug t-shirt.
This guy's kooky, clearly.
He's got a John, who is John Gall's sticker on his truck.
Exactly.
So then you're going to get picked up, because, you know, of course, we all, nine out of ten Americans agree, and the majority of gun owners, that we can have mentally ill people having guns.
So we have to come in, make, do you have any guns?
Oh, I'm sorry.
And we have to go see if you're potentially dangerous, if you potentially could be the naked guy running down the street.
But that's only the beginning, you see.
Because then it's like, well...
We don't want, you know, insane people driving cars.
You're a lethal weapon.
Yes!
In fact, I mean, it's common sense.
I mean, do you want just drivers on the road who are sharing the same road as you and your children?
Do you want them insane, mentally ill?
No, it's common sense.
So let's test everybody.
And, lo and behold, here it is.
Doctors urge mental health screening during annual physicals.
I'm not kidding.
I'm not making this up.
This is great.
This is not great.
This is far from great.
This is USA Today.
Most general practitioners can administer mental health screenings during an annual checkup.
And of course, the question which is posed in USA Today with a cute graphic, would you be offended if someone told you to get your brain checked out?
But anyway, a new study from the University of Cambridge suggests everyone should get their mental health checked as often as they have an annual physical.
That would be once a year.
Essentially, treat your brain just like any other organ.
Yeah, and we know so much about it.
Unfortunately, most people don't address mental health issues until they are drastically interfering with their lives.
But this is a real problem.
And of course, if you look at the drugs that many people are taking...
Oh yeah, they're making them mentally ill.
They're making them mentally ill.
So this is a...
We got another note from another guy.
Oh no, about one of the drugs that we've been recommending on this show?
Yeah.
Yeah, what?
Shamblin, or whatever that last one.
Shanterelle.
No, that's a mushroom.
Whatever that was.
Shantix?
It was Shantix?
No, Shantix is the not smoking stuff.
No, no, not that.
We haven't talked about that for a while.
Cialis?
No, not Cialis.
No, Cialis.
Cymbalta.
That's the one.
Why do they always have the same similar sound?
It's interesting.
It must be some study.
And the guy says he blacked out for days and had all these issues, and it was the same thing.
It wasn't as funny as your story.
But the guy woke up because werewolves were after him or something.
Vampires and werewolves.
No, that's what he thought.
He had ingested werewolves and vampires.
He said he had the same experience.
It was bad and it wasn't good.
But the doctor prescribed it for his back pain.
I know.
It's not funny.
Morphine does work for these sorts of things.
I asked people about this.
Why are you giving people these crazy drugs when these old classics, opiates, are out there for the taking?
And morphine is like a really good example of that because it doesn't have all these crazy effects that some of these whopper drugs do, which are just boosted to the extreme.
And the response is always the same.
Oh, morphine will give you a stomach ache.
Really?
Really?
Yeah.
And blacking out is not bad for your health?
No, stomachache.
Oh, it gives you a horrible stomachache.
People get nauseous when they take it.
So, of course, you're absolutely right when you say, you know, it's going to be, it is, so these messages are now coming in.
This is Washington State, where I think there's a lot of old people who are just, you know, incredibly easy to test stuff on.
Old people and people who work at Microsoft, it's probably the same thing.
And Starbucks, corporate headquarters, which of course also is a propagation network.
I'm convinced of it.
You know, Starbucks, you got Microsoft, you got Sega, you got Nintendo, you got Amazon, you got Costco.
Hey, by the way, that Jeff Bezos guy, insane.
Have you ever heard him laugh?
Bezos could probably be locked up by this.
He better do some lobbying.
Is everybody familiar with Bezos laugh?
I think so.
No, I don't think we've heard him in a long time.
Well, I'm sure our Australian audience isn't.
Okay, let's see.
Here is random Jeff Bezos video.
This is him.
Random.
I'm just making it up.
This is him on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
Doesn't he do it all the time, his laugh?
Yeah, he likes to laugh.
He's a good-natured fellow.
No, it's a Tourette's.
I recognize it.
You think so?
Yeah.
Oh, that would make sense.
Because Tourette's people usually sit with you.
Well, even you are very well organized.
I'm not that well organized.
Well, it's by your standards.
But if you took a look around my office right now, you'd probably start twitching.
Well, yeah, I am.
I'm not even in your office and I'm twitching.
Hold on a second.
Let me see.
Of course, there was a...
How annoying is that?
An ad can't show anything.
Anyway, so...
He laughs like he goes...
No, no, it's worse than...
It's a funny laugh.
No, it's not a funny laugh.
It's a disturbing laugh.
Hold on.
It's kind of like...
It's disturbing.
It is.
It's an uncomfortable laugh.
For you?
No.
Well, yeah.
Us Tourette's guys find it uncomfortable.
Let's see if we can get them to...
Laugh!
Laugh!
Oh, right.
I'm sorry.
Almost.
There it is.
I was wondering what that was going to be.
I'm telling you, it's a nervous tick.
Come on, laugh.
Oh, shut up, Stuart.
Here it is.
Come on, laugh.
Come on, laugh.
Thank you.
Laugh.
If you watch long enough, it's just like, man, his laugh is...
At one point he loses it.
All the time.
Yeah.
And I have a lot of respect for this.
So you just think that last nervous tick is not really his laugh?
Yes.
Oh, you didn't think so?
Oh, man.
I've never thought much about it.
I've only heard him laugh a few times, and all the people in tech have never met him.
Oh, well, see, when you're...
And I'm sure I'd crack him up so he'd laugh like crazy.
Yes.
When you're a Tourette sufferer, then you see people's tics from across the room because you're so used to concealing them yourself.
So I see kids with tics.
I see just...
You know who else has...
Very similar to me is the family guy, a dude.
What's his name?
Uh...
Seth MacFarlane.
Seth MacFarlane has the same Tourette's I do.
Exactly the same.
He's pretty good at containing it, but when he's in an interview, you can see it.
You can see it happening.
Yes, we are a cult.
We are a community.
Now that you mention it, because he does a lot of the kind of odd swallowing that you do.
Odd swallowing?
What are you talking about?
It's odd swallowing.
Wait a minute.
I don't even know I'm doing this.
Now I'm self-conscious of my odd swallowing.
Oh, God.
People wonder why I like to do radio.
I'm not kidding.
Anyway, so they are clearly coming to get us.
And it'll be like, look at that guy with his twitches and ticks and his Atlas Shrug T-shirt and his End the Fed bumper sticker.
Let's call the cops.
Yeah, no, that's exactly what's going on.
Yeah.
But I do want to, since we're on the topic of the guns and the whole thing, I do want to play something that was kind of, I think you're right, I think the crux of this whole thing, because they didn't do anything really, except they started promoting this anti-insane thing.
But Biden did come out and say something.
I do have a clip.
And now, let's get, let's talk, just for one second, let's get something clear about Newtown, Connecticut.
When all was said and done, and the final analysis came in, how were the kids shot?
With the assault rifle?
Well, this is very unclear.
This is very unclear, but I'll bet you they were riddled.
Well, no, but they were all riddles somehow.
But don't you remember, we have the documents came out that the assault rifle was in the trunk.
He never used it at the school.
It was pistols.
However, the medical examiner...
But that was at the beginning.
That's before they got the script right.
So before the rewrite, before the yellow copy of the script was distributed to everybody, including the medical examiner, he said, oh, it was all the long gun.
He said, oh, it was all the long gun.
Because of the velocity of the bullets.
Yeah.
Although you can have a high...
I mean, I don't know what velocity you're talking about, but if you shoot a.357 Magnum, that's got a lot of damaging characteristics.
But he specifically said the long gun.
Right, but then they changed it, and then finally they agreed that the guy did not use any long guns at all.
They were pistols.
He had a couple of automatics, and he was shooting kids with that.
And by the way, his accuracy rate for these pistols was outstanding.
Yeah, apparently the guy was a sharpshooter.
Who knew?
But anyway, so Biden apparently never got the final script.
No, he got it all right.
He's like, what's this crap?
No, no, it's worse.
He's like, I told them to put shotguns in.
That's much cooler.
Did you ever see the video that's on the net of the women shooting a shotgun?
Yes, where they're falling down and they use the AR-15 like boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
It's perfect.
It's so true.
A 12-gauge shotgun is not, you know, a lot of women, petite women certainly, or women who have not shot, anyone who has not shot, is going to be a surprise for you.
Yeah, the first time you shoot a shotgun, if you're not ready for it and you've got that thing tucked in and you're really hoping it'll hurt you, it'll give you a bruise.
Or it can knock you over.
It could, you know.
So anyway, so here's Biden on Newtown.
Now we know that it was all done by a pistol, but here's what he says.
For all those who say we shouldn't or couldn't ban high-capacity magazines, I just ask them one question.
Drunk or not drunk, what do you think?
Drunk.
Yeah, me too.
Think about Newtown.
Think about Newtown.
Think about how many of these children or teachers may be alive today had he had to reload three times as many times as he did.
Oh, nice 3-3 meme.
Very good.
Love that.
Three times as many times as he did.
Three times as many times as he did.
I don't even know what that means.
He already reloaded at least three times.
But let us not forget, let us remember that he had his training from video games, so he was reloading before the magazine was empty.
So it really makes no, you know, we're all good.
We usually just use 10 shots and then we reload anyway because, you know, we're used to that.
Generally speaking, I think a normal person shooting away would just shoot until they got a click and it was like there was no bullets left.
No, no, no.
Not when you're trained on the video games, John.
We have proof, fact.
But when you're training on the video games, it's because these horrible monsters are after you.
Yeah.
And they're shooting you in the back of the head and the screen's turning red and splatters all over the place.
And your little life guy's shrinking, shrinking, shrinking.
Your life guy.
That whole thing is going on.
There's a little gauge.
Life going away.
My life is going away.
My life guy.
Yeah, no, but this is about the crazy, and it coincides with, of course, the Affordable Care Act, so we don't have enough healthcare, so this is another avenue that the insurance companies can jump into, because now, of course, they have all the data on you.
If they don't have it, then they're going to acquire it, but they're getting it from your doctors, etc.
And now all it takes is one of your friends, your neighbors, your family, to say, well, we think he's potentially dangerous.
Boom!
Right there, that's a $3,000 evaluation that someone's going to have to pay for.
So it might as well be insurance.
And then you're probably going to have to be medicated.
Well, I've met a number of people who...
You meet these people and once in a while, they're not necessarily no agenda listeners, but they're potential listeners.
They always get a disc from me.
You sound like a no agenda listener, but generally speaking, they're a little nutty.
Have you ever run into these guys?
Oh, yeah, I know the government's terrible.
We've got to get rid of this money.
We've got to go to gold.
Well, so we have three guys at the market.
And so Farmer Chris, who is a dedicated, dedicated listener.
I'm trying to keep his marriage together.
He's like...
His wife's not buying it?
No.
He's like, oh, my wife is drinking the Kool-Aid.
His wife is very smart.
I met her.
She knows exactly what's going on.
It takes a while for the newly awakened to settle in into the environment.
You know, and you can go off the deep end.
So, you know, stay away from Alex Jones and Webster Griffin Tarpley, and you'll be okay.
There's a bunch of guys on AM radio that try to compete with Overnight.
Yeah.
And they're completely over the edge on some of this.
Oh, yeah.
And really, just a lot of money is being made on this.
And, you know, so whenever I hear someone talking about seeds and stuff, you know, like, oh, let me just pull you aside.
Yeah.
If they're selling you seeds, then it's not a good operation.
Let me just tell you this.
Seeds.
Hey, get a burpee catalog, for God's sake.
Something, a new occurrence.
Naturalnews.com, I think it is, with Mike the Health Ranger.
They are now accepting Bitcoin for their seeds.
I mean, is this like a double whammy or what?
No.
Okay, so anyway, so I walk into the market, and there's our beef guy, who, you know, he processes one animal typically a month, and he's a small guy, I mean, small operation, and he knows that I will buy the tenderloin off of him, because he always gives me a good price, and I take the whole thing, and I freeze it, you know, and we enjoy that.
I just hope that we keep power.
Does he have a shrink-wrap facility where he can seal the meat in a vacuum?
He takes it for processing, but he walks it all the way through the process, so he knows it's his animal.
He doesn't have the processing himself, but he takes it in and he walks the animal through the whole process.
So I see him tell you, hey!
Hey, uh...
Someone told me you have a, it's not a radio thing, it's a, say podcast?
Yeah!
Yeah, what's that about?
So word is out on the market now.
I said, I'll just write this down.
No agenda.
You should bring discs to the market.
We bring discs everywhere.
We didn't bring them for this.
And then we have the chocolate guy.
And the chocolate guy is the guy who has, you know, and he sells homemade chocolate.
He's got cocoa beans, all kinds of great stuff.
And he always has a sign next to his stand.
And it's usually like, you know, trillion dollar coin accepted here.
Yeah.
Right, that's a good one.
This guy is very, very astute.
So, yes, I know exactly what you're talking about.
But, yes, that kind of person, you know, they are in danger, I think, in peril.
Yeah, no, we're here to save them.
I'm going to continue to wear my Atlas Shrug t-shirts, but you do have to be careful who you're saying what to, because it's just dangerous.
For instance, I've been holding this for like two weeks.
This is Ed Schultz following on the Southern Poverty Law Center report that we discussed.
About, you know, who is a hate group?
Who is dangerous?
And it's just, it's like, seriously, war is peace, white is black, good is bad, yes is no.
Myself, something big has happened.
Something big.
You know what something big is?
Yeah, something big is he got fired from that job, thank goodness.
So his something big is that all the signs, this is what the Southern Poverty Law Center is saying, that the signs we're seeing now with the patriot groups...
Think about how twisted it is.
The patriot groups, this is exactly the same vibe and environment as before the Oklahoma City bombing.
When I got in there and I saw the news, I could not believe that this had happened on American soil.
That someone had done this to fellow Americans.
And that's why I'm fired up about these facts tonight.
Thanks to a new report by the Southern Poverty Law Center, we know that anti-government patriot groups are now at an all-time high in this country.
That is one of the lines.
Anti-government patriot hate groups.
Wow.
Wow.
We need to pay attention to this, folks.
Pay attention, folks.
The increase in threats on the President of the United States and other government targets is similar to the period of time before the Oklahoma City bombing.
Oh, whoa, really?
Were there threats?
The increase on threats of the President...
It's probably coming from Pakistan.
People getting droned by the president.
Researchers are out front asking the American government to create an interagency task force to deal with the problem before it's too late.
Let's just break down a few numbers here.
In 2008, there were only 149 known militia groups in this country.
Last year, there were 1,360.
More than eight times as many.
800%!
Houston, we got a problem.
With Houston, we got a problem.
He's in Houston.
Well, there's a problem if he is.
So, anyway, we must be wary, and I'd like everyone to keep their ears open and eyes peeled for the war on crazy meme, because that is what it is.
It's come down to, you are crazy, and I can prove it.
And this is actually, I hope we have another dinner with Professor Russ, the brain guy, because we need to find out...
We should, and then write down some of these so-called statistics and let him tell you what to do.
Well, you know, in that regard, he's kind of on our side.
I'm going to say, how much do we actually know about the brain?
And he's like, I'm paraphrasing, but I believe he said probably less than 1%.
And we don't know anything about your mental health, really.
We really don't.
Yet we're going to start locking people up, denying you access.
Of course it starts with guns, of course.
Of course it starts there.
Leverage.
Leverage?
Yeah, you leverage, you find the topic of high interest that you actually could barely make work.
It's how incompetent they are.
And then you leverage that into what you really want to accomplish, which is, you know, imprisoning the nation.
Well, not just that.
It'll be on a record somewhere.
Can you get hired for a job?
That'll be like your FICA score.
It will be a part of your FICA score.
Yeah, you have your FICA score, then you have your mental ability score, then you have your Facebook friends.
Nowadays, it doesn't apply to us so much.
He only has 50 Facebook friends.
He's a loner.
Anyone who's under 30 is being hired by a large corporation.
Nowadays, they'll check their Facebook account out.
And if they look like flakes on Facebook or if they don't have enough friends, then they won't hire you, period.
They just won't do it.
And this FICA score thing, Miss Mickey has one of her best friends over from Holland, Maddy.
And by the way, the people in the Netherlands, everyone's trying to book vacations with us now.
Because it is almost April and they are looking at snow again on the ground for this global warming.
Yeah, tell them to go to Colorado.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How's the snow there?
It's been snowing.
They had a soccer match, a World Cup preliminary in Colorado, I think, over the last week.
And it was snow.
And it was apparently some South American Latino group that apparently had never seen snow in their life.
At least that's what they said.
I'm sure they do.
But they actually played the game in their shorts.
Yeah.
In the snow, unlike football players who are all bundled up, and they're playing the game.
It's amazing.
You couldn't even see anything.
It was just whiteout.
But we have, I believe, on this very podcast, we have predicted that whenever the government tells you, oh, we're all going to burn, it's going to be global warming, that you should pretty much expect the opposite.
And voila, here we are.
It's been the longest winter on the history books, and we're going into an ice age.
Well, this would be the way to kill off people.
This is my theory from the get-go, which is that they used to predict ice age, and then they stopped doing that, and then they predict global warming, and then we have to do everything we can to stop that, which seems to me as though they want to trigger an ice age.
Yes, well, why do you think I'm in Texas?
It's been beautiful here.
Mellow weather, not too hot.
It snowed.
Mimi had to go get Jay.
It was April.
It'll be snowing in April.
I mean, it was snowing in Washington State like a week ago.
I know.
That's what I'm saying.
And in Texas, it's not blazing hot.
It's nice and beautiful.
I'm going to have beachfront property here in a couple of years.
You watch.
That whole Gulf of Mexico is going to be right here at Round Rock.
And by the way, it will get very hot.
It's not going to get hot.
In July.
It's going to be beautiful here.
Ugh, dream on.
Let's thank some producers for episode 498.
Yeah, we had some good producers come in to help us out here, including David Killian in Clinton, Illinois, who says on his...
This came in as unusual.
This came in as a check, but it didn't come in as a personal check.
It came in as...
Which surprised me, because when you get these checks, we have a mailbox people can send checks to.
And a lot of time payment checks go there.
So it looked like a time payment check that you have to tear the edges off.
And oh my God, thanks for ever to open.
And it was $1,000.
Wow.
But he did leave a note.
Yeah, instant night.
So he's in instant night, but he left a little note.
He says, this is $2 a show.
For the 500 shows.
Oh, wow.
That's nice.
And he would like some...
What did he say?
Here, let me get the check out.
If I can read it.
He needs a de-douching.
That's all he wanted.
All right.
You've been de-douched.
Nice.
Well, thank you very much.
And he shall be knighted during the ceremony today.
This was apparently...
I'm looking at this check.
It's got some interesting details.
Apparently, this was run through payelectronic.com.
Hmm.
I guess you can pay somebody.
Some kind of bill pay service, I guess.
Yeah, and then they send the check out.
Didn't Yahoo used to have a service that they'd pay your bills?
Yeah.
I've kind of gotten back into Yahoo.
I was looking for a car from Ms.
Mickey, and if you go to autos.yahoo.com, I have to say, I think it's better than Craigslist.
Yahoo has a lot of interesting things that they've never promoted.
A lot of the stuff that came and went.
I mean, I wrote about this a number of times.
I'll say it's a pet peeve of mine.
I'd read some article that they've canceled something they were doing.
And I'd say, I never heard of this.
You mean they canceled Yahoo Reader?
No, that's Google.
Google's doing the same thing, by the way.
They're canceling things that people don't know about.
Why don't you just maybe tell people about it?
You might get some interest.
But anyway, so anyway, let's get back to it.
The next one is out of Texas.
We have Sir Long the Good.
Longus.
Sir Long the Good?
Yeah, that's what he calls himself now.
Okay.
Is that written down as that?
So I knight him?
Yeah, you should knight him, sir.
He's not getting knighted.
But he's not getting knighted.
He's already a knight.
Oh, yeah, sir.
Oh, well, how come he shows up as a new donor, then?
Hmm.
Oh, this came in as a check.
Ah, okay.
Got it.
No note?
No note?
That's it?
Just...
No, he says don't read anything.
He just says no need to read anything.
Beautiful.
Oh, wait.
Just send some karma.
Okay.
Happy to do that.
I want to make sure we fulfill the promise here.
You've got karma.
And that is, of course, 500 for our 500th episode.
And we also have the 31313 donations.
There goes Miss Mickey in her new vehicle.
What?
Yeah, well, I'll tell you later.
It was not easy getting something we could afford that looked right.
That looked right.
Long story.
She's very happy.
Sir Gerald Gionet in London, Ontario, 31313.
He's on his way to a baronet.
That's nice.
Anonymous, Sir Anonymous, in San Ramon, California, 31313.
Congratulations on show 500.
Carmen and my family.
And he's the Sir Anonymous China.
Oh, right on.
Here you go.
You've got karma.
Throw a little China in there.
We have three associate executive producers, Sonny Waldrick and Brent Ford, Ontario.
It's my first time donating.
I'd like to get a hot milf for my beautiful, lovely wife.
I'd like to give both of you karma for your time and patience, spelled as though they were in the mental ward.
Oh.
Okay.
I like that, actually.
So give him a MILF and a karma.
Hey, I'm looking for the...
I'm looking for the...
The MILF? The one hot MILF. Oh, it's the MILF. Sometimes it's confusing the way people write it and I don't know what they're talking about.
That's one hot MILF, baby.
There you go.
Wow, we got you.
You've got karma.
Got you covered.
Then we got a check for $200 from Janet Waters.
And her note was, ITM boys, I give a shit.
Nice.
Because when we were...
Yeah, because I asked if anyone gives a shit, and she does.
Right.
Thank you.
Janet does.
Thank you.
It says India, California.
Where is there...
Do I have her card here?
Came in with a card, a cute little card.
I put it...
I left it downstairs.
Keith Jacobs in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, 200...
Uh, ITM to the best podcast and nervous.
Please send some fuck cancer, Carmen, to my good friend, Jamie Pitali, who is tragically diagnosed while teaching overseas in Thailand.
If any producers, knights, or listeners are in the Phoenixville, Pennsylvania area, please consider stopping by the Pickering Creek Inn on Saturday to help us with a fundraiser for his treatment.
$25 gets food, beer, entertainment, and whatever else they got.
Please add this fundraiser site to the show notes if you would.
Yes, of course I will.
GiveForward.com.
I do want to mention the last show that we forgot to plug a book one of our producers has called It's a Packing...
It's a packing machinery handbook, which he sent me a copy.
So if you ever want to know everything, if you ever want to know about packing machinery...
What's the name of the book so I can put it in the show notes?
It's called the Packaging Machine or Packaging Machinery Handbook, and it's under packmacbook.com.
That's P-A-C-K-M-A-C-H book.
And so if you need this...
I don't know.
It could come in handy if you have to start your own company.
And does this stuff, like, excite you?
I've always been interested in food machinery.
Packaging?
Have you ever been to one of these plants where they make cookies or something?
It's astonishing.
Well, I'll answer your question.
I did a documentary partially about a marshmallow factory.
There you go.
Wasn't it cool?
It was cool as they had marshmallow guns.
They could shoot the marshmallows at each other.
That was kind of cool.
We have a couple of make-goods here.
Wait, first of all, did he want to...
Yeah, he wanted to fuck cancer karma.
Hold on a second.
I've got to do that first.
You've got karma.
Thank you, Monty Python.
We have to make goods.
Of course, we had a little PayPal snafu.
And PayPal, did you see that the...
I think it's people who are using their AdMob mobile app advertising or something haven't been paid by Microsoft this month or whatever because of a PayPal problem.
There's some issues that we need to keep our eye on.
Yeah.
Warren Carroll donated $250 two shows ago and, of course, was an associate executive producer.
We'll get credit appropriately today.
That was because of the mix-up.
Way to go, Adam and John.
I was standing in line at a burrito joint in downtown Seattle surrounded by the dreaded hipsters.
When on TV, I saw that they had announced the new Pope.
Holy shit, I say.
Adam was right.
Out loud, I may add.
After some strange looks from the dudes with their tight pants rolled up, beards and beanies, I ordered my meal.
But at that moment, I knew I must donate!
You guys deserve much more than this donation, but for now, it will have to do.
Thank you very much, and we appreciate that.
And Michael Randall donated 31313 and wrote, In the morning, Adam and John, Michael Randall from Halifax, Nova Scotia.
No need to read on air.
Love the show.
Happy to continue supporting Value for Value.
Signed up for a 333 monthly as well.
So that is very kind, and we appreciate that.
And we've been going back and forth with one of our producers who got one of the...
The letters from PayPal saying, no agenda has suspended your subscription.
Yeah, I saw your back and forth with him.
I'm trying to figure it out.
I'm trying to figure out if there is some kind of correlation, if it's after a year, because his credit card changed, but yet there was no problem with doing things.
I think it's a credit card thing.
I really think it is.
Credit card changes, which they do every couple of years with most people.
They kill the account.
But why they blame us is another issue.
Yeah, that's the irksome part.
It's like, why would we cancel your subscription?
We didn't cancel.
Your money's no good with us.
Go away, you!
I don't want you!
Yeah, so we're still working on trying to keep that from minimizing.
Have you ever spoken to our team?
Yes, I did.
That's the last time they talked to me.
They're like, oh crap, another one of those guys who's on to our scam.
So my wife, by the way, was in Costco, and she's wearing the hoodie that has the wanted poster on it, which says no agenda.
Wanted no agenda.
And she's walking down the aisle, and someone says to her behind her back, in the morning.
Did it freak her out?
She was like, she was trying to figure out what, she didn't immediately figure out, then she turned around, the guy was gone.
Wow.
So at least they're out there, and I told her, I said, you got to be, they're everywhere.
Well, I got this note from Illinois, from Chicago, and it's written in the way I should, I wish, actually, you should, you didn't receive it, because I think you would be better at the voice, but I'll give it a shot.
No agenda capo di tutti capi.
Last Saturday, me and Big Tony was getting a pepper and egg sandwich at my St.
Madre's home in Cicero, Illinois, of course.
What did I hear playing on a kitchen radio but the No Agenda show?
The numero uno podcast in the universe.
I asked Mama, what's she listening to?
She tells me WCKG 1530.
She says, those nice boys make me laugh.
She says this on every Saturday morning.
First, I think this is nice.
Then I says to Big Tony, if Brolf and Wilf ain't getting some action from the ads on this, then that's an insult to the Noah Genda family.
But hey, how am I doing?
It's kind of a mix of South Jersey, New York, some Chicago.
It's not really Chicago.
But hey, if these guys are sending you the envelope, which they should, great.
If not, mention, deliver the cannoli on the podcast.
I'll send some friends of ours to collect the street tax.
Our translator stopped doing the cuts on the show.
I'm going to have to get a hold of him and see what happens.
One Goomba to you Goombas.
I had Big Tony's kids stop looking at porn on the internet and he found the web stuff.
He said yous would know.
And so it is.
A 1530 WCKG. So apparently they're airing the show.
We're not listed on their website.
It's a 750 watt sunrise to sunset station.
And I'm okay with it.
I mean, we are open source.
Yeah, no, that's the one that we were doing this clean version for.
Oh, well then we're good to go.
Yeah.
Are they doing the ads?
Are we getting the envelopes?
Our ads are embedded.
But are they playing that?
That's what I mean.
Are they playing our ads?
The donation segment is out, but there's a regular mention to the website.
It's basically...
Well, then how come we're not on the website for this outfit?
Well, it's because we haven't gotten...
Apparently, there's still a...
There's a workflow problem that has to be resolved.
Okay.
I'll stay out of it.
A workflow problem.
We really appreciate everyone helping out on the show.
Our executive producers, our associate executive producers, this show could not be done without you.
The only thing that we will never receive, we've pretty much accepted the fact that we will never receive an award for the work we do.
But if we would, we would have a list.
We'd like to thank our executive producers and our associate executive producers.
And the band would be playing us off.
Wrap up, wrap up, wrap up.
Cut them off the stage.
Cut them, cut them, cut them.
And that's literally how it works.
Why else do you think people are always thanking the executive producers and the associate executive producers?
Because they make the program happen.
You make this one happen.
You make it possible for us to continue.
And you do that by going to...
And also, all of those monthly subscribers, a lot of people have jumped in, and even though they may be a one-off executive producer, they are signing up for our 5s, our 11-11s, our 12-12s, our 33s.
If everyone did that, the donation segment would be nothing but pleasure all the time.
And I want to mention, by the way, we have only one more show.
Until 500, 500 episodes of premium entertainment.
So next Thursday's show is your last chance to get a double executive producer credit.
Thank you very much, John.
That is correct.
And, of course, you can go out there and you can propagate our formula if you so wish.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Before we move into anything, I'd like to just say in the morning to you, John C. DeBorak...
Well, in the morning to you, Adam Curry, in the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, and all the dames and knights out there.
And in the morning to our artists.
Thank you very much, Thorin, for your work on Episode 497, as found on noagendaartgenerator.com, where anyone can participate.
These are truly the unsung heroes of the podcast, always coming up with something entertaining to look at while you listen to the dulcet tones of Brolf and Wilf here on the show.
And also, I would just like to say in the morning to all the human resources in the chat room, noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net.
And we have two more to add to the lineup.
Did you hear the two new ones?
Yeah, I did.
One of them was early on, and it was Serbo-Croatian.
No, no, that would be incorrect.
That is in the morning.
Oh, that was German.
Arabic, very good.
And Omotaran, that's Russian.
Let's bless you in Arabic.
So this is Sir Jeff, of course, who does this for us.
And it's interesting because he wanted me to play them.
He's not sure on the pronunciation because I guess he just does it phonetically.
Oh, then we need to get some feedback from some...
Well, I have...
And what about Sir Oil?
He speaks Russian.
Right, but the Russian I think we're okay with, but he's on his way back.
He had to get his cash from Cyprus, so I don't know if he's...
We haven't heard from him since.
But the Arabic...
No, I did hear from him because I couldn't connect to his sling box.
Oh, his sling box?
Yeah, okay.
Did you talk to him or did you just email?
I said just email.
He says he got out.
You've got to talk to him on the phone.
Yeah, I will.
And then ask him to send a picture of his wife.
He's rushing all the way.
He's got the money.
He's got the hot wife.
Okay, so here is one of our producers, and his fiancée, Amani, I believe her name is, did an In the Morning in Arabic.
Let's compare.
It's close, but I'm not sure.
Doesn't sound exactly...
Well, as a jingle, it might be right.
Because they're always...
I think it's fine.
We'll find out from someone who's...
Well, hey, we've got plenty of listeners that can tell us it's not good.
And let's just hit the Russian one more time.
In the morning to all of our Russian listeners, except for that dead guy in England.
Oops.
Yeah, that guy.
That was insane.
That guy.
Everyone sends me the link.
It's a hit job.
Well, duh.
That's an obvious hit job.
What do you want me to do?
So what?
Investigate?
Hit job.
You think?
Really?
That can't be possible.
So, I'm listening a lot.
This was my Australian week.
Oh, you had the Yaggy pointed towards...
I got the Yaggy pointed towards Sydney.
So, I'm listening to some morning, like the equivalent of the Today Show, and they're discussing...
The elections, I'm sure.
The election in Gildyard, and...
Gileard.
I think it's Gillard.
From now on, she's Gileard.
Yes.
Here's a little discussion that we don't hear in this country.
There's a debate going on whether anyone even likes this woman.
There's a little group that has a little chit-chat amongst themselves.
It's one guy.
I can't remember his name.
I'll get their older names eventually.
This one woman who's always...
She's having a beef with, and the woman, you'll hear her on this clip, which is the Australian son, Gileard.
Gileard.
You're going to hear her, and you have to envision her as someone that's wearing like 10X too much makeup.
The woman who's talking or Gileard?
The woman who'll be talking, and they're going to talk about why Gileard did not come on their show.
And instead, she went on Today, which is a number two day FM, which is that notorious radio station.
Oh, who killed the nurse.
Killed the nurse in Britain because of the puncture.
Nurse killers.
So they say that, well, she went on there because it's for a younger audience, and the only people, according to this woman, is that all the young people are in love with Gilead, and anyone over 25 hates her.
But that's the way this was handled.
I don't know whether she's done any other interviews.
What do you make of her going on Today FM? Well, it's obviously a youth audience, isn't it?
It's a softer audience.
She's clearly chosen that market as opposed to perhaps coming on here or speaking to AM Talkback Radio.
So, yeah, it's a youth market and it's a softer grilling, if you like.
Nicky?
She's speaking to those people, and they're the future.
And they see her differently to a lot of the white males who run the press in this country.
Oh, Nicky.
Well, bring it on, Carl.
Bring it on.
But I do feel that there's a disconnect between opinion pieces, what is reported.
She's got no purchase.
Her performance yesterday.
Look at the polls.
Zero purchase.
Do they take these people, and I think the women in particular, are these like made in a factory and they just put a different accent module into them and send some off to Fox, some off to Australia, some off to CNN? It's the same person.
Yeah, yeah.
It's super annoying.
Annoying person with an accent.
And how are her legs?
This is...
You know, they haven't got enough of a clue to really show off the legs.
Fox is the only one that just highlights legs.
Well, that's smart.
Look at the ratings.
Well, if you look at that Guilfoyle woman's legs, I mean, you just stare at her.
Let's keep going.
It was completely lost in all the commentary of today.
Why did you say white males?
You lost me at white males.
Really?
Is that because white males are hot for Gilead?
Is that it?
No, no, no.
You missed it.
You actually killed it.
I talked to her.
What did I do?
You stepped over it.
You actually stopped it.
She was claiming all these media outlets are run by white men.
Right, so the white men...
She took defense to that.
Oh, okay.
And now she's trying to defend it.
So she's saying that the white males who run the outfits are hot for this woman?
No, they hate Gilliard.
Really?
Really, because I think she is a woman who is different from the standard stereotype of what a woman is meant to be.
That's threatening.
Men don't like that.
They want to crush that.
They want her to conform.
That is not true.
That is not true.
That's my opinion, Carl, and I'm entitled to it.
You are entitled to it, but you need to take that back.
I absolutely will not.
I'll fight you in the car park afterwards.
What?!
I'll frack you?
She'll fight you in the car park afterwards.
Bring it on, baby.
Now, she says something coming up that I just think was interesting because she obviously, and I'll analyze this afterwards, and we'll also listen to a real short clip of Gileard when she was on Two Day FM. I think that's a massive generalisation because, I mean, you look across the board, she's not popular.
Carl, I could say she's very galvanising to a lot of women and to a lot of younger women.
She's not popular with elderly Australians.
She's not popular with anyone.
I can't believe you have said that.
Oh, did she write emails to me?
I can't believe you missed that.
She's not, though.
But she's not popular with anyone.
There is an extraordinary amount of women out there who look at a woman like her and say, she gets things done.
She's leading our country.
She has defeated Kevin Rudd three times.
She's leading right into the carbon tax.
That's because he's soft.
Over the past couple of years.
He didn't even run yesterday.
She is Machiavellian and she has outfoxed all the blokes.
Look at Crean.
I mean, he's gone now.
I think it's extraordinary what she has achieved as a woman and for a lot of women, Carl.
And sorry, I adore you, but you can't speak for us.
I really loved it when she planted her face in the dirt.
Remember that?
When her heel broke.
Yeah, that was very funny.
That was funny.
This woman, the reason I thought this was an interesting clip, and it was taken from a long thing that they do on the show, is that she says that women appreciate Gilear because of her Machiavellian...
I mean, these are not...
Real compliments in any normal world.
No.
You don't want someone that's a Machiavellian.
Why don't you just say she's a Machiavellian creep and women love her because she can beat up men.
Yeah, why don't you say she's a dude.
This is what's going to happen in this country when Hillary runs because there's a bunch of people.
Hillary's the same divisive character, horribly Machiavellian, and she's going to get a lot more votes because there's a bunch of women, and not to say that the vote should be taken away from them because I won't do that because even though it's funny, but there's women that are resentful as this overly made but there's women that are resentful as this overly made up woman is.
People will call me out on that, but believe me, she just doesn't look like she should be there with that much makeup, and there's a lot of resentful women that are looking for their chance to get back at men in some way, shape, or form, and they're just going to vote.
It's worse than the blacks voting for Obama.
95% of the blacks in the last election voted for Obama.
They're just going to vote for Obama no matter what.
Or any black outruns, give them the vote.
And may I point out that should President Obama somehow receive a third term, Which the guys who sell seeds would have you believe.
So I'm not against the thought.
It's totally possible.
I'm going to say that I think the African American population would not vote for President Obama because eight years would be like, well, screw it.
We didn't get any benefit.
Ah, see, this is where I think you're dead wrong on this.
Oh, really?
Because that's exactly the way I thought.
Ah, okay.
I totally thought like that.
Until I ran into a guy who's a government worker who was filling out some paperwork.
And we started talking politics.
We talked about the No Agenda show.
I think he might be listening.
Maybe not.
But whatever the case was, he actually communicated to me what it really...
They don't...
The black community in general doesn't expect anything from the government, except what they're already getting, which is whatever welfare, whatever system that they're stuck in.
And they're getting that already, and they get it from any Democrats.
So it's the Democrats give them what they need.
They don't give them anything extra.
They're only doing it for black pride, period.
Okay.
The guy says to me, he's almost in tears, he says, you have no idea how it feels to be a black man in this country and have a black president.
We are so proud.
Period.
Nothing about wanting extra stuff or anything that these right-wingers would say, oh, they're going to...
Well, I understand that.
And that's all it is.
And so the women think it could be exactly the same way.
Okay.
So what we need...
Well, first of all, I understand it.
And I totally get it.
We used to talk about Maggie, who worked at the Mevio office, and she was exactly the same way.
But what was cool about Maggie is I could debate with her.
And I'd be like, dude, it's just as crappy for Ed.
She'd say, yeah, but give the brother a chance.
I'm like, okay, whatever.
But Maggie was very proud.
I mean, she was just bursting with pride.
And you get it!
You know, totally get it.
Miss Mickey has the same thing with Hillary.
Now, even though, of course, she knows about the evilness and she listens to the show, I've heard her say on several occasions, well, you know, wait until a woman is running the show.
And I'm like, oh, yeah, I can't wait.
Gee, that's going to be awesome.
This is not.
And I think you're right.
I think it's worse.
Remember we had the clip of Madeleine Albright?
She's a demon woman.
She's over there yelling at the Serbs.
Ugly, ugly Serbs, get out of my face.
Hillary Clinton is the devil, people.
And I think, you know, unless something happens, if there's some reason for her not to run, she would make a great pope, too, by the way.
Well, the intelligence community is going to have to find some way of stopping her.
Yeah.
So anyway, because I don't think they want her.
And the more I, now I actually, not to get too far off, well actually before I get too far off the track on that, at least let's play the fascinating discussion on Two Day FM Australia with Gilliard having a conversation with the DJs.
Well, Tim's actually away at the moment, so it was, you know, me and Reuben the dog, so he was full of wise words.
Oh, sure.
That makes me sad that you were just home alone with the dog after such a brutal day.
Jackie's fishing for friends.
She wants to be the one you phone.
I'd have to say I spent some time with people into the evening and then got back here and had a few telephone calls to make and all the rest of it.
But at the end of a long, hard day, I was happy enough to, you know, sort of hang out, pat the dog and then get some sleep.
Okay, I figured it out.
I have been to Australia.
I did a documentary.
It's a short one, but I did a documentary.
I went all the way from east to west and stopped in Williams Creek and all the little touristy places, Coober Pedy, the Opal Mines.
I took that damn train through the 24 hours of your desert all the way to Perth, which I thought to be very beautiful.
I think what's happening is...
I think it's a very male-dominated society still in Australia.
But the men have this thing about the shaylas.
The women are shaylas.
You with me?
I'm listening.
The shayla, of course, is lesser than the man, but they love a shayla with a knife.
Because they can take care of their own in the outback.
But when you have one who's got the knife of the government, I think they're paralyzed.
And I think it's a brain freeze to have this type of woman in charge.
And if you see what's happening, and it's astounding to me, because I've always had the Aussies in such high regard that they don't take any crap.
And so now the carbon tax is about to start, and businesses are allowed to increase their prices significantly.
To adjust for the increased taxes, yet it will be illegal for them to say, yeah, we had to raise the price because of the carbon tax, and they can get fined.
If a waiter says, yeah, I'm sorry, man, your coffee is now eight bucks, Aussie, because of the carbon tax, the establishment will get fined because you're not allowed to say that.
It's crazy what's happening there.
We have a similar thing.
It's not quite as extreme as what's going on in Australia.
We don't have a carbon tax.
We don't have a carbon tax, but in Alameda County, they decided to ban plastic bags.
Oh, dude, we have that here too.
Austin, as of March 1st, no plastic bags.
So there's no plastic bags anymore in Alameda County, and if you're going to use a paper bag, you have to buy it.
Yeah, we have to do the same.
One dollar.
It's called emergency.
You can get an emergency assistance bag for a dollar.
Oh, just a jip.
We have them for 10 cents.
But it's beside the point.
What I found out is I didn't know this because I had run up a bill at some place and then I said, oh, I need a bag.
And it was already the thing.
Till has been opened.
The whole thing is done.
And she didn't want to reopen another 10 cent tab on my card.
So I take the bag and she says, you know, they're I said, what happens to the accounting?
There's the 10 cents.
You won't give the 10 cents to this.
What's the deal with the 10 cents?
They don't even...
There's not even a tax is 10 cents.
It goes right to the store.
Yes, no, I know.
I know.
And here it's a buyer.
Sell it for 10 cents.
They can't...
It's illegal now to give the bag to the customer.
Yeah, I know.
It's ludicrous.
If they want to give me a bag, a paper bag, why can't they do that?
I know.
Because the overseeing government wants to make people take more responsibility and bring your own damn bag.
I mean, screw you!
They've been giving us bags since I was born and before.
So now I have to buy the bag because I have to be retrained.
Yes.
European.
Yes.
It's just been going on in Europe.
It's always annoying.
You have to pack your own bag.
Well, hold on a second.
This is very important because we have the HEB here, which is actually quite a good store, all locally sourced kind of.
You know, it's okay for Texas.
And so everyone started this as of March 1st, and no more plastic or paper bags.
Unless you have an emergency, then you pay a dollar you can get a paper bag, or it's for as many paper bags as necessary.
But what has actually happened, you are so right, and Ms.
Mickey says, hey, wait a minute.
I don't mind bringing my own bag, but now I'm packing!
It's actually taken away workers.
It has taken away jobs because now you're packing your own stuff.
There's no one to pack your groceries anymore.
Yeah.
Well, that's wrong.
Yeah, this isn't any good.
No.
Anyway, it's just a little...
And in Berkeley, it's just the worst because everyone's got...
Oh, by the way, now on another note...
We're going to try to get some...
Eric already has done the research on this, Eric DeShiel.
We're going to get some of those nice handled bags that everybody sells for like 99 cents at Trader Joe's.
Oh, whoa!
We're going to get our own agenda!
Oh, perfect!
But we have to have some slogans on it.
Yeah, we'll put some stuff on there, both sides, and we'll make them good-looking bags.
In fact, there's the Monterey Foods bag that they make.
This is a great idea, John.
And then we take the bags, and people who want to buy some of the bags, they can buy some from us at cost.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on a second.
You went off the rails at the cost part.
What are you talking about?
These bags are going to cost us to get printed.
Yeah, we're not going to make any money on them?
No, no.
What we're going to do is we're going to use them as promotion.
They're not to make money.
It's like you grow to this crappy H-E-B store and you take 20 bags or 10 bags.
And then when somebody's coming into the store and saying, would you like some bags?
There's some free bags.
Free bags, people!
Yeah, so they give the bags away.
So they'll be used because these bags are reused.
So they're basically a person with a billboard walking around.
Nice, nice.
That says no agenda.
And you say, what the hell is no agenda?
Oh, I don't know.
They gave me the free bags.
It's got a website, noagendashow.com.
What is that?
Oh, I didn't go there.
Oh, you should go check it out.
Can we put some stuff on the side like Don't Drone Me, Bro?
Yeah, we'll put some sayings on there, whatever.
In the morning, don't drill me, bro.
At least I say that there's no reason to make money on these.
Apparently, at least from what I heard, these things cost maybe five cents.
Yeah, nothing to make.
Hold on a second.
We should set up a distribution network where people can easily make their own for their local community.
Oh, that's a good idea.
Right?
We'll set up the shop to get to order these things and then people will have like a permanent order at the place that makes them in China.
And we'll call it a mac and cheese tote.
You just go to the website and you order like a hundred.
I think a minimum would be like a hundred.
And people could get a hundred.
This is going to cost nothing.
It's going to be like $40 maybe for $1,000.
Really?
Ah, perfect.
It's really cheap, but good.
Perfect.
Eric, they're so cheap it's ridiculous.
Perfect.
And so, anyway, there'll be these bags floating around saying no agenda show, and we'll make them so they're artsy.
Okay, well, but let's look at the art before we decide that they're artsy enough.
They've got to be good.
Okay, well, you know what I'm saying.
So, in 1989...
I'm going to take you back and...
Ah!
Where's my...
Don't we have a time machine harp?
I should have that thing at the ready.
Yeah, that was it.
That was the one.
Yes, thank you.
Go back in time.
1989.
Ice-T. You know Ice-T? You know the Ice-T guy?
Yeah, Ice-T. Ice-T. So he had an album, The Iceberg, Freedom of...
Ice Cube?
No, that's a different dude.
A different guy.
Yeah.
Ice-T is the one who has the reality show with Coco, and he's on the cop show.
Yes, that's what he's on.
So, of course, it's kind of ironic that he's a cop, but he had this track, which I think was 1989, and he had Jello Biafra do this opening.
We interrupt this program with a special bulletin.
America is now...
Under martial law, all constitutional rights have been suspended.
Stay in your home.
Do not attempt to contact loved ones, insurance agents, or attorneys.
Shut up!
Do not attempt to think or depression may occur.
Stay in your home.
7 p.m.
starts after work.
Anyone caught outside the gates of their subdivision sectors after curfew will be shot.
Remain calm.
Do not panic.
Your neighborhood watch officer will be by to collect urine samples in the morning.
Anyone caught interfering with the collection of urine samples will be shot.
Stay in your home.
Remain calm.
The number one enemy of progress is questioned.
National security is more important than individual will.
All sports broadcasts will proceed as normal.
No more than two people may gather anywhere without permission.
Use only the drugs prescribed by your boss or supervisor.
Shut up!
Be happy!
Obey all orders without question!
The comfort you've demanded is now mandatory!
Be happy!
At last, everything is done for you!
Okay, so the reason...
This is great!
You never heard that?
No!
Oh, so the reason I play this is there was something that happened and it was reported on the news.
So, of course, you hear this.
This is 1989.
It's very recognizable.
There's a lot of stuff in there.
That's like, oh, national security is more important.
There's all these things.
No more than two people.
If you've ever flown an American airplane, don't stand near the bathroom with more than two people, which would be like you and somebody else.
All this kind of bull crap.
But the shooting at Quantico, at the base, the military base in Virginia, the news report just blew me away.
Is this the one right here?
Does that mean the one that just took place?
Yes, the one that just took place.
The shooting.
The shooting.
If you...
I don't know anything...
Okay, anyway, keep going.
Do you want to...
I have a clip announcing it.
I have a clip about the shooting.
Do you have something that you want to...
No, my clip is the same thing.
It's very narrow.
It was done on Democracy Now!
And before you know it, it was like, this woman is useless.
But my clip was not necessarily about what happened, but...
Think back to this iced tea clip.
The shooting began around 11 p.m.
last night.
The suspect shot and killed one Marine inside a barracks building near the Officer Candidate School at Quantico Marine Corps Base.
Local police and MPs on the base responded to the scene surrounding the suspect and putting the base on lockdown.
Announcements were made over the base-wide PA system and notifications were sent to residents via Facebook and Twitter.
Base residents are to follow all instructions being delivered by the Giant Voice System.
What?
Is this a joke?
No, this was on the Facebook page.
The Giant Voice System will tell you what to do, people.
What?
My clip is just being delivered by the Giant Voice System.
And they say this without questioning it or laughing?
It's on the...
Not only that, but they show the Facebook page where it's printed.
Giant voice system.
Listen again.
Delivered by the giant voice system.
Please remain inside your homes with doors locked.
Suspect barricaded by law enforcement personnel, not under custody.
That's also on the Facebook page, but I love it.
Await instructions from the Giant Voice system.
Lockdown.
Announcements were made over the base-wide PA system, and notifications were sent to residents via Facebook and Twitter.
Base residents are to follow all instructions being delivered by the Giant Voice system.
Please remain inside your homes with doors locked.
Shut up and be happy.
So apparently this is a nomenclature for the PA systems, which are usually single point, which is interesting because there used to be lighting systems like this, and Austin used to be one of the towns using it, single point systems.
Yeah.
And it's called the Military Giant Voice Solution, and American Signal Corporation is one of the manufacturers.
The bombing of Pearl Harbor sparked new security concern, and a need was created to...
Wait a minute.
What year are we?
A need was created to warn of impending air attacks.
The solution was the development of a civil defense siren.
That's where this stems from.
Yeah.
Established...
Yeah, anyway.
Come on.
It's 2013.
Send me a text.
Giant voice systems are being installed on many bases today, such as Nellis Air Force, Fort Belvoir, Redstone Arsenal, Aberdeen, and many more.
Awake instructions from the giant voice system.
Do not attempt to use Facebook.
Awake the giant voice system.
I mean, John, they're putting this message on Facebook.
Yes, I know.
That you need to listen to the giant voice system.
And the giant voice system is a huge pole that looks like it's about 20 stories, 30 stories high.
Yeah.
It's got a bunch of PA, a bunch of horns.
It's a subwoofer.
It's a big hip-hop subwoofer.
And it's got a bunch of, it's got usually some solar cells.
And I guess it, and it's got a bunch of guy wires.
Somebody has just cut one of the guy wires and the giant voice system is done.
Yeah.
The giant voice system.
Really?
I'm telling you, they got these.
I see.
I'm looking at it.
I'm looking at it.
The die wire's holding it up.
Military giant voice solutions.
It can be used for tsunami warning, nuclear warning.
Amusement parks.
Really?
It doesn't say amusement parks.
Yes, it does.
Campgrounds.
Oh, yeah.
Golf courses.
Community warning system.
Oh, okay.
Here we go.
This is great.
This is going to be everywhere.
Attention, Bitcoin community.
Attention, attention, Bitcoin community.
Do not attempt to sell your Bitcoins.
You will be picked up for money laundering.
Wow.
Isn't that cool?
I like the way you tied it in with that 1989 thing.
It was good.
It made me think of that.
It must have been impacted by that thing in 1989.
Yeah.
Well, it was good.
Because you listen to that and you're like, that'll never happen.
We won't actually have a giant voice system telling us to stay inside and lock the doors.
Especially if you live on a military base.
How crazy is that?
Wow.
Who came up with this because of Pearl Harbor?
Give me a break.
Talk about a lame sales pitch.
Established as the Biersoch and Niedermeyer Corporation in 1873.
We began manufacturing sirens and control systems in 1942.
After being awarded a contract to manufacture sirens for the United States Department of Army, over 2,000 sirens were produced to be installed in the Pacific Theater for our troops and air bases.
Now we use them for slaves.
The giant voice system.
Patent pending.
So the Senate, by a vote of 50 to 49, passed some lame budget.
And if you read the rundown on it, all it managed to accomplish was increase taxes by $1 trillion and put an iron dome over all the spending cuts that were previously proposed by the House.
No, do they literally call it the iron dome of spending?
No.
No, I did.
That's mine.
So, I'm going to bed on Friday night, and I just so have, maybe there's something on C-SPAN, and I turn on C-SPAN. C-SPAN, live from the Senate, at midnight, 3 a.m.
in the morning, they were...
Arguing over this bill and everybody was there and everybody looks, we're talking 3 to 3.30 and I guess it went on for a couple more hours.
They all look plastered and tired and it was the funniest thing I've ever seen.
But what's weird about it is that both the Democrats and Republicans...
Well, first, let's see.
Let's play...
I got two clips.
I got U.S. Senate at work, and the other one's U.S. Okay, play...
This is the U.S. Senate at work at 3 in the morning, so you get an idea of how this was going.
...Coburn, number 709.
Portman, number 154.
Leahy, number 710.
Side-by-side to Senator Inhofe, number 139.
And Inhofe, number 139.
There'll be no second-degree amendments in order prior to the votes in relation to any of these amendments.
That none of the amendments be divisible, notwithstanding all time having expired in the resolution.
There'll be two minutes equally divided by the resolution.
To each vote and that all votes be 10-minute votes that upon disposition of the In-Off Amendment No.
139, the Senate proceed immediately to vote on adoption of S. Conrad.
Hey, buddy!
You got anything to drink?
Yo, Dvorak, you got anything to do?
They actually had, at one time, somebody came up with an objection, saying that he says, we need, can we use, can we turn on our electronic equipment?
They wanted to put his laptop on, so they could play Angry Birds or something.
It was really funny.
But let this play out so you can see him.
Yeah, sure.
Is there an objection?
Yes, sir.
Object.
Object.
Senator from New Jersey.
I will not object, but I do want our colleagues to understand that some of these amendments that the chair lady just asked to be put in order are incredibly Fundamental, important foreign policy issues that you do not do at three in the morning and change the dynamics of the Middle East, change the dynamics of our national security and interests and international organizations.
That's what some of these amendments will do.
And you don't do it in a budget process.
You do it to regular order.
In a committee that ultimately can hear both sides as we have succeeded so far in this session in a very bipartisan way.
So I will not object because of the gentlelady's effort to get us to a conclusion, but I will be urging all of our colleagues to oppose all of those amendments because this is foreign policy on the fly and it is dangerous.
Okay, you can kill it.
So, by the way, the chairman, the person running the Senate, they kept tag teaming.
There's different people coming in.
The other ones had to go take a nap.
So they had the budget.
The Senate finally had a budget.
And all they were doing, both sides, the Democrats and Republicans...
We're essentially adding all kinds of weird crap, like tons of weird crap about our status with Israel, how we're spending our money over here.
Should we get some, we have to buy more bullets, we have to do this, we have to do that.
And it got so ridiculous, and I got only one clip out of the dozens that took place, and they voted on each one of these with a roll call vote.
And you have to just hear this one, and in this case it's a Republican, Then this is the clip.
Ludicrous U.S. Senate action.
The Vitter from Louisiana comes up and does this.
Move to reconsider.
Without objection, so ordered.
There are two minutes equally divided prior to a vote on Amendment 526 offered by Mr.
Vitter.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr.
President.
Mr.
President, this amendment would require photo IDs to participate in federal elections.
That is allowed now by states.
However, the present Justice Department is trying to virtually shut down this practice unreasonably by opposing it in many, many states.
This would clarify that and mandate the photo IDs, just as we do in many other less consequential acts like air travel.
I ask for the a's and nays.
Mr.
President.
Mr.
President.
Senator, is there a sufficient second?
There appears to be sufficient seconds.
The yeas and nays are ordered.
Senator from Washington.
Mr.
President, voter photo identification laws are overly burdensome and have the ability to disenfranchise voters.
We should not attempt to institute these policies nationwide, especially at 3.15 in the morning on a budget resolution.
I recommend my colleagues oppose this amendment.
The clerk will call the roll.
Mr.
Alexander.
Ms.
Ayotte.
Ms.
Baldwin.
Okay.
That goes on for ten more minutes.
But it's like this was what was going on at three and four in the morning.
Well, of course, they're trying to do it when no one's looking.
Yeah.
Trying to pull these things.
And so they finally, when they think, who knows what's in there when it finally got finished and passed.
All we know, because according to the New York Times and other sources, all we know since we haven't gotten in our hands is that taxes have gone up by a trillion dollars.
This is unbelievable, these people.
So what was...
Do we have a bill number?
Because this didn't come...
I haven't seen the bill number.
It's a Senate budget resolution.
Oh, that's why it didn't come through.
So you'd have to look it up that way.
Well, of course I have to look this up.
This is nuts.
But of course, you know, it has to still be reconciled.
John, hold on.
Yes, I understand.
But let's make a deal, you and I. I don't care if it's 3 in the morning for you.
I don't care.
Well, that was probably midnight for you, right?
It was 3 in the morning.
Okay.
I don't care what time.
So that would have been 2 in the morning for me.
I don't care.
You call me.
You turn on the giant voice system.
The giant voice system.
And you let me know because I need to read this stuff.
I need to give people a rundown.
And they must have published something, although I can't find a link that easily.
Yeah, well, I don't think it's out yet.
There's no hurry because you'll get to it before.
Well, it's crucial that this is what I do for our people.
Woken up at three in the morning.
Actually, it would have been good because I could have tagged team you.
Hey, and tell me if anything else happens and I'd go to bed.
Right.
Of course, I'd take over.
No problem.
But it was like, oh, my God, what is wrong with these people?
Who do they think they're kidding with the way they operate?
It was funny to see him, though, because he's got feet.
So I came across a bill that the text of it by itself, but also just the name, I was like, oh my God, it finally happened.
Now, I know this is going to be a little difficult for you to discuss, and I'm very serious about this, so if you need to go, oh, brother, do it quickly and get it over with.
Oh, brother.
Okay, thank you.
So in the book Atlas Shrugged...
Do the brother part.
Brother.
What was...
This is a question for you.
Because I know you read the book, as you've proclaimed.
Fact.
What was one of the main reasons for the industrial...
The captains of industry to disappear themselves?
What was...
It was their essential protest.
Because?
Against?
Against the incompetence of everybody.
It was like...
It was legislation.
Do you remember that Reardon Steele had to sell to competitors or anyone that the government forced him to?
Yeah, this is what happened with AIG. It was under the fairness legislation.
Right.
So here is Senate Bill 336, the Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013.
Right.
And this is essentially the grab on web money.
So this is the internet tax.
But of course it has to be called the Marketplace Fairness Act.
No, they do great.
Actually, I don't even know when this began because I don't remember this sort of thing back in the 50s or 60s or 70s when I was a little kid.
But...
They do a great job of naming stuff so it's just the opposite of what it really says.
Right.
So it's easy to figure out.
I know, but the fact that it's called...
I mean, I'm literally living inside.
Ah!
By Ayn Rand.
The Marketplace Fairness Act, for those of you who want to know what it is, it is essentially if you buy something over the internet from another state, then the government, not the local, but it'll be sanctioned by the federal government, they will force you to pay taxes on that.
And it's a little unclear as how that's going to happen, but I think it may involve people with brown shirts knocking on your door.
Did you order something from Amazon, Mr.
Curry?
Right now in California, for example.
It's like you're supposed to pay your use tax, right?
Yeah, there's a use tax you pay.
So if you're buying a bunch of crap from Amazon, you have to know if it is taxable or not, and then you have to voluntarily put the tax on your tax.
There's only one guy in the world I know who does that.
Who?
Leo.
He does?
Yes!
He said it several times.
I would do it, except that I buy everything in Washington, and they have some other system up there.
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
I would.
I would gladly do it, except for the complexity of it.
Yeah.
It's just the form, John.
It's not that big of a deal.
In Oregon, there is no sales tax.
So what happens to the Oregonians?
Do they get screwed or do they get a better deal than I do?
What's the deal?
What happens?
Well, the way you don't get screwed is by buying from Walmart, who, of course, is behind this Marketplace Fairness Act.
Target.
These are the people who were putting this together.
Who introduced this?
Mr.
Enzi.
For himself, Mr.
Durbin, Mr.
Alexander.
Oh, Mr.
Rockefeller.
Man, it doesn't surprise me.
Ms.
Feinstein.
Mr.
Whitehouse.
Mr.
Blunt.
We got a Mr.
Blunt in the Senate.
Oh yeah, Blunt.
Blunt's on all the time.
Blunt.
Amen.
I love how it literally says, Mr.
Reed, Mr.
Blunt, Mr.
Whitehouse.
Are they kidding with me?
Are they just trying to mess with my head?
Literally, Mr.
Boozman.
Alright, Mr.
Johnson.
It's all like double entendre.
Okay, this is crazy.
I'm reading it in order, literally.
Mr.
Boozman, Mr.
Reed, Mr.
Blunt, Mr.
Whitehouse, Mr.
Corker, Mr.
Pryor, Richard, Mr.
Rockefeller.
That's funny.
Wow.
Bunch of stoners and booze heads making up the Fairness Act.
Well, needless to say, no fairness for us in that.
I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda.
Let's all be fair now.
In the morning.
Alright, let's start with thanking a few people who kept us going in the show 498.
Robert Dimoff in London, London, London.
155.55 likes us speeding through this segment.
Financial Monkey in Woodbury, Minnesota, 133.33.
And wants to plug surlytrader.com.
S-U-L-Y-T-R-A-D-E-R. Can you look at that?
Yes.
I have no idea what that is.
Sir Jason Stephens in Lost Wages, Nevada, $111.11.
Patrick Mangan in Tacoma, Washington, $100.
And now we go into our special segment.
Oh, hold on.
You're making me do too many things here at the same time.
Are we in the Niner Niners?
Is that where we're at?
Nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine!
No, we didn't get any Niner Niners today.
We didn't even get Niner Niners?
Oh, man.
69!
69, dude!
Niner Niners dead.
Yeah, well, this will be dead, too.
Again, we only have four.
Dustin Copass in Homer, Illinois, 69-69.
Richard Hyde in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.
Cambridgeshire.
Hey, you'll like this surlytrader.com.
Okay.
He does say, Swazont Nuff can never die.
David Moreno in Davenport, Iowa, 6969.
Patrick DeKivit.
The Kivit.
Oh, the Kivit.
This is a guy in Delft.
Yes.
Home of the...
Delft Blue.
Delft Blue.
That's right.
That nice, pretty blue.
Yes.
And that closes our 69-69.
And he says, just keeping the segment alive.
And you did just that, Patrick.
Thank you.
69!
69!
Wow, it's going to be short today, John.
We do have, for David Moreno and Davenport, there's an anniversary involved, so we're going to give his, the getaway trip, planes good, trains bad, chemtrails, combo, karma.
Holy crap, where am I supposed to read this?
Train's good, what?
Train's good, chemtrails, karma.
Okay.
All aboard, train's good, plane's bad.
Chemtrails.
You thought karma.
You got to change it to chemtrails by Ayn Rand.
Okay, consider it done.
Consider it done.
I'll take a little extra time today after the show.
Yes, Aaron Guzman in Redding, California, 5555.
Pat Deary in Sarnia, Ontario, 5110.
Double nickels on the dime.
Sir Larry Lee in Marble Falls, Texas, which is right up the road from you.
Sure is.
Yep, Sir Larry Lee.
And he says it's a dollar an episode for six months.
So that's okay.
It's okay by us.
Yes, thank you.
Carl Johnson, Tempe, Arizona, 50.
And finally, Pat, or Peebo, P-B-O-H, Peebo, 50.
Sir Andrew Soos.
Soos, I think it was Soos from Tasmania.
In Tasmania, and finally, last and not least, in our short segment today, because we didn't get a lot of attention, Kyle Bauer in Worcester, Ohio, 50.
And that will close out our thank yous for the donors.
That's very fast.
I don't think we've had one this short.
I'm not going to bitch.
You know why?
Here's why.
I'm going to read you three...
Three notes.
Number one.
Hey, Adam, says Ben Oliver.
I'm a writer for TV and just made a pilot.
Now I'm struggling to get it aired because I don't like the taste of penis and keep turning down product placement.
I don't like the taste of penis.
That's mainstream for you, baby.
Which is supposed to be banned on the BBC. So apparently he's in the UK. Oh, really?
Yes.
So essentially they're trying to get product placed, which is supposed to be banned by the BBC, but he's refusing to put it in his pilot because he doesn't like the taste of penis.
I've just come back from Hilversum.
On an unrelated job and noticed while I was there, it's Media Central in Holland.
So I emailed a friend of mine to set up a meeting.
It went well and they agreed to make a couple more episodes when the BBC's ownership of it runs out in a few months.
Here's an all caps.
I would not have had this meeting were it not for the no agenda airport Wi-Fi at Schiphol.
So as a thank you, I am now a $5 a month subscriber.
It's not much, but until I become a mogul, it's all I've got.
So when you become a mogul, I want to big part in one of these shows.
Yeah, we want to be in your show.
And we like the taste of penis, so we'll do anything to get on.
Speak for yourself.
It's been easy to hit people in the mouth since you nailed the Pope prediction.
Amazing.
Anyway, I hope all is well.
Thank you very much.
And then we have from Connor.
Sir, firstly, thanks for helping deprogram this former boots on the ground for Gitmo Nation poutine.
That is the new name, of course, for Kanadia.
I'm glad to say that listening to your show was one of the primary factors that woke me up to the BS and led to my retirement from the Armed Forces and cancel my cable subscription!
And so he's also now on a...
He actually sent...
He did a...
I should probably play that.
He took our PSA. Remember we did PSAs?
Yeah.
And he's like, I've enhanced them for you.
It's pretty bad.
But since he's a monthly subscriber and since he quit the armed forces and canceled his cable for us, I think we should play his PSA. So you're at a party, just hanging out, having a great time.
When someone goes, Hey, I know we can get some coin.
Like you're not already having fun.
So you say...
No thanks.
To let them know you're not interested.
And they go, what's with you?
You scared?
So you look at all the others who also aren't getting bitcoins.
You go, yeah, scared of being like you.
Thecoolspot.gov.
Check it out.
Outstanding job.
Yeah, that's about...
A borderline professional.
And then finally, I want to send a big, big dolloping wallop of karma to our Black Knight Dave Koss in Dallas.
He says, I'm a Black Knight.
Of course, I know who he is.
We hung out with him on the...
On the Hot Pocket store, stayed at his house.
He says, in need of some heavy karma, after a botched IV while taken to the hospital for dehydration, I got a blood clot in my arm.
The clot broke off into both lungs and now in the hospital on blood thinners.
Thank you, hospitals.
Wait, wait, wait.
You think that's bad?
You think that's bad?
What do you think his first meal was in the hospital?
What?
Mac and cheese?
Oh, no.
Living the mac and cheese life.
Mac and cheese by Ayn Rand.
There you go.
Black Knight Dave Koss.
You've got karma.
The mac and cheese karma for you, man.
Get well soon, okay?
Get well soon.
Damn, man.
This sucks.
Stay away from the hospital.
Yes.
So thank you to the people who did step up today.
Thank you very much.
Of course, thank you to all of our monthly subscribers, but also to the people who are donating generously, knowing that since they're not an executive producer, but they are above the $50 level, that they are pretty much going to get just their name mentioned in their place.
Although, you know, we do try to pick out...
Of course, we read everything.
We do try to pick up some of the funnier notes when they do appear.
Rather short today, though.
So...
Please consider helping us out for the last show before show 500.
Yeah, $4.99, and that will give you the executive producer on two shows if you hit $3.13 or $500, which is a dollar a show for 500 shows.
Yeah, what a bargain that is.
We're cheaper than H&M, people.
H&M. Yes.
Are they still in business?
Oh, they're just tremendous business.
Are you kidding me?
So here is where you go for all of your options.
I don't think we have any birthdays.
Am I just playing the jingle for no birthday?
Yeah, you're like a robot.
Good job, Curry.
Wow.
Well, that's weird.
Okay.
Well, we have a nighting then.
We have an insta-night today, so I'm very happy to do that.
Of course, this is for the No Agenda pins, the night pins, which are...
Is Eric working on these?
We're all working on it.
Okay.
The whole Dvorak family is working on it.
By the way, I will say this.
Yes.
Wow.
Yes.
The pins are leading me to the following idea.
Okay.
We can have a meeting.
Well, let's knight someone first, and then we'll have the meeting.
All right.
David Kilman, step forward, my friend.
You are an instantite.
We are very happy to welcome you to the elite's table of the No Agenda Knights and Dames.
So please, let me...
Here you go.
Neil and I pronounce these Sir David Killian.
Of the Noah General Roundtable for you.
So, herkers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay, hot pants and booze, wenches and beer, rubin-esque women and rosé, gaishas and sake, vodka and vanilla, bong hits and bourbon, sparkling cider and escorts, mutton and mead, and if you are into it, breast milks and pavlin.
Welcome into the illustrious club.
And of course, this is just the start of many levels of peerage which you can achieve here at the No Agenda podcast known as...
The best podcast in the universe!
And we welcome Dame Tanya Wyman into a new peerage level as she now becomes Baroness Dame Tanya Wyman.
This is due to her long-term support of the program.
And as you know, all of our peerage can claim responsibility for an area, for a geographic area.
She would like to claim the borough of Manhattan, leaving four more boroughs over.
For other barons and baronesses and, of course, archdukes.
I think if you're a duke or an archduke, then you can claim all of New York State and then Baroness Tanya.
Yes, she works under you.
Yes, Baroness Tanya would be...
But, you know, the baroness could become the next...
Duke of New York.
Is it Duke or is it Duchess?
Duchess.
The Duchess of New York.
The Duchess of New York.
How hot does that sound?
I am the Duchess of New York.
Lick my boots.
And you can have a card made.
And you'll have the little pin.
So here's what I'm thinking.
So we're going to have this pin.
You said that just like the guy selling the FBI kit to little Timmy.
You can have a card made.
You're now an FBI agent.
So you have this pin that's going to be identifiable to other No Agenda listeners.
And it's going to have, what I'm thinking is that the pin will not be a single pin.
It will be a series of pins that will have different backgrounds, colors.
Oh, a series.
Oh, yeah, okay, keep going.
I love it.
So you have a pin for, you have your knighthood pin.
It's like the fruit salad.
It's the Noah Jenner fruit salad.
And so you have your knighthood pin, which may have, I don't know what color background, white perhaps, or maybe black for the black knights, or maybe just white.
And then when you move up the ladder to Baronet, or actually go to Baron, and then Earl and all the rest, the background color begins to change.
Ooh, nice.
So when you're up at the top of the heap, you have a different pin.
In fact, I think the Grand Duke, which is the top thing you can have in any system.
Yes.
I think that will be a gold pin.
Oh, man.
It'll just be gold.
Just solid.
You can bite in it and it just bends.
You could do that.
Right.
So we have to...
But now we have to find someone that can make that line of pins.
Well, can we get the same people who do our bags?
Can we get a...
No, no.
You're talking China.
They make one thing, bags.
Bag.
You're bags.
Hello.
Not pins.
Oh, no.
Bags, not pins.
Bags, not pins.
We make bag, not pin.
But they probably have a relative who makes pins.
Give you a good deal.
My cousin, Make Pin.
Good deal.
Very good deal.
I give you a good deal.
Okay, so when can we expect these?
Because I'm joking.
Sometime before the end of the year.
Oh, we can get it sooner?
No, we haven't.
You have to realize it took us two years to get the rings underway.
So this is on high speed.
And I'd like to say that people have to understand, the only product we are actually good at making is this show.
Right.
Everything else, except for the show notes, because that's kind of a part of making the show, It's the process that's a part of it, which I'll point out I do.
You do what?
I do the show notes.
I do all of that.
The show notes are the best part.
And someday in the future, those show notes, even though the show will be long forgotten, those show notes will be a resource probably in some major library.
That is actually our legacy, is it not?
I think the show notes are the legacy.
The two guys gassing on the radio is zip.
The show notes should be in the Library of Congress.
Yeah, they should.
How do we petition for that?
I think we'll end up getting a Library of Congress librarian listening to the show one day, and then she will say, well, you know, that's a good idea.
I'll work it in.
Oh, that's great.
Does anyone know a librarian?
Is that who works there, librarians at the Library of Congress?
Yeah, they're all librarians.
But someone has to make the decision.
Library science, my friend.
It's not just willy-nilly.
It's not just up to some librarian to just put whatever they want in there, is it?
The Library of Congress consists of a whole bunch of collections.
There are different curators for different collections, and maybe they curate more than one.
And I think if you just have the right curator, somebody who has a collection of media stuff, for example, examples of media, they would take the show notes and put them in a box.
In a box.
Hey, do you think the librarians at the Library of Congress have their hair up in a bun with like corn-rimmed glasses?
And they're really hot when they take the glasses off.
Right, right.
Shake your head.
Yes!
And the hair goes flying and the next thing you know, oh my.
Oh, hello.
Are you Crackpot?
By any chance?
Why, yes, I am.
Let me show you the back room.
In fact, it's one of the classes they have to take.
I know the University of California Library, School of Librarian Science, Library Science, they actually have one course that's given, I think, in the first semester of the second year, or first quarter.
No, they're on a semester now.
That teaches you how to do the head shake.
It takes a whole semester.
It's amazingly hard.
If you want to learn how to do the head shake, send me a head shot, and then I'll see if we can put you through admissions, and then I'll teach you.
Okay.
Let's roll again. .
I take you to New York City, ladies and gentlemen.
Earlier we heard from the midget known as Mayor Bloomberg, the Oompa Loompa of Manhattan, who of course is going to force you into a mandatory sanity check on his giant voice system, no doubt.
He'll put one of those up on the Empire State Building.
That'd be perfect.
But he has his own...
Attention New York!
Attention New York!
It's time to check your sanity.
I am Mayor Bloomberg.
Do not pay any attention to the man behind the curtain who is 5'1".
Okay.
So, Mayor Bloomberg has his own radio show.
On WOR in New York.
And over the weekend, it's more him answering questions.
It's usually pretty boring.
But CBS News did a segment on his show this weekend, which was, well, I mean, to say brazen is just too short of a word.
Now, we already have thousands of cameras all over New York City, but could more surveillance be on the way?
Mayor Bloomberg predicts security cameras and even spy drones will keep chipping away at our personal space.
CBS 2's Alice Gaynor is live in Times Square with why this has some people concerned.
Now, this is an interesting report.
Of course, this is the telescreen talking to you people.
This is Mockingbird saying exactly what they should.
So, first of all, she says some people are concerned.
But then listen to the reporter who's standing on Times Square with a drone flying overhead.
Good morning, Alice.
Good morning.
If you constantly feel like you're being watched, chances are you probably are, at least if you're on the streets here in New York City.
And it may not end with those mounted cameras you see up and around the city here.
There is talk now of possibly using drones.
You've seen the cameras attached to light poles around New York City streets, a constant reminder that someone is always watching.
Everybody wants their privacy, but I don't know how you're going to maintain it.
And Mayor Bloomberg says...
That is the Oompa Loompa Mayor, by the way, who just said, I don't know how you're going to maintain your privacy.
What are you talking about?
It seems it may not end with mounted cameras.
It's just going into a different world, uncharted, and like it or not, what people can do or governments can do is different, and you can, to some extent, control, but you can't keep the tides from coming in.
How about that, huh?
Like it or not, slave.
It gets a little better, even.
And what the tide may be bringing in are drones, unmanned aircraft that can shoot live video.
They can also shoot live rounds, but that's left out of the report.
So how is the Oompa Loompa miniature midget mayor going to justify having drones fly over the island of Manhattan?
But of course, they'll be all over the state of New York, but he's only responsible for New York.
What's the difference whether the drone is up in the air or on the building?
What's the difference?
What's your problem?
There's a drone on the side of the building.
It's just called a camera.
There's no difference if it's a drone flying around.
I mean, intellectually, I'd have trouble making a distinction.
You know, it's intellectually...
Because you're an idiot.
Intellectually, you know, maybe one is flying, you asshole!
Drones are being used by law enforcement in other cities.
This is video out of Poland filmed by a drone hovering...
It's Poland!
Hello, Poland!
By the way, what city?
Poland's rather large lady.
Above a huge protest, the drone can capture details like faces and license plate numbers.
Woohoo!
Party!
It's the time!
Back here in Manhattan, the New York Civil Liberties Union has documented nearly 2,400 surveillance cameras and says the idea of drones are a huge concern.
It's disappointing.
Listen to this woman.
This is the shill who is the civil liberties whatever in New York, and she's the one that is going to say that this is wrong, but she's not.
She's saying something.
In fact, she's on board with the program.
The idea of drones are a huge concern.
It's disappointing that the mayor exhibits such disdain for the legitimate concerns of New Yorkers about their privacy.
So far, so good.
None of us expects that we'll go unseen when we're out on the street.
None of us expects to go unseen when we're out on the street.
Why would you expect to have any privacy when you're walking around?
But we also have a right to expect that the government isn't making a permanent record.
So this is the person on your side feels it's okay for the government to spy on you as long as they don't keep a permanent record.
And let's get the logic straight on this.
What is the point if you're not making a record of doing this in the first place?
Well, we have a name for it.
Yeah, we had a camera on him.
Oh, show me some of the footage.
Well, we just had a camera on him.
We really didn't make any film.
We just had a camera on him.
That's all we did.
This is all because of...
Well, then what good is it?
Because this is all part of the Ring of Steel!
And something worth mentioning, the NYPD has integrated their security cameras with private companies in Lower Manhattan.
Fantastic.
A program known as the Ring of Steel, so it seems the only way for right now to stay out of the view of Big Brother is to stay inside.
That's right.
Stay inside.
Lock your doors.
Do not worry.
Stay inside.
Your security officer will abide to take your urine samples.
Do not contaminate the urine samples or you will be shot.
The giant voice system will tell you when it's okay.
When will people stop to realize that this is actually happening?
I think it's weird.
I had a discussion at the dinner table last night.
And who was this with?
It was JC and his fiancée.
Okay.
And so he was mentioning...
This came up in a conversation.
We were talking about...
Epithets and how it's generationally changed a bit where people can call you a name or something and sometimes it's meaningful, sometimes it's not.
Let's have an example.
I'm interested in this.
You know what an epithet is, you asshole?
Oh, yes, I understand.
Thank you.
Prick.
So, Dick.
So, you know, and some of these have more impact than others on different kinds of people, but the conversation turned to the cutting in line phenomenon.
He makes the claim that anybody under the age of 40, you can cut in front of them in line and they will be so flabbergasted that they won't know what to do and they won't call you on it as opposed to what I would usually do.
And he says, yeah, your generation does.
Mimi does.
Mimi will cut someone out for doing it.
And I will.
Somebody cuts right in front of me, let's say, in line.
I will tap them on the shoulder and say, I'm in line.
You're behind me.
And I would give them the thumb and tell them to move.
Has this changed somehow?
Is cutting in line a problem?
Anyone under the age of JC's entire generation, he claims that you can cut in line.
If you cut in line to somebody that's about 35 years old or younger, and if you look far enough back and there's nobody in their 50s, That will go from the back of the line and go, hey up there, no cutting!
He says nobody will say anything because they have no training to say...
I'm sorry.
I need to interject.
While this may be true in the People's Republic of California...
You come and try that crap in Texas, son.
You're going to put a cap in your ass.
You are just saying that.
No, no.
There is no cutting in line here because all you will hear is the slide of 9mm glocks.
You're like you won't be able to witness this unless you're someplace outside of the line.
I'm telling you, I would like to get some input from some Texas youngsters.
No one cuts in line.
No one cuts in line in Texas.
No one.
Okay, I'm just telling you.
You know why?
Because we're polite.
And the other thing is, by the way, the West Coast leads the way in culture.
The West Coast, those are the a-holes of the country.
Yes.
Yes.
Argument done.
Onward with the next topic.
I'm just saying, this is a phenomenon that's going on that people should be aware of.
The cutting in line?
No, the whole thing, this passive nature of anyone who was raised from any of the X-Gen, Y-Gen, this baby, you know, this group from 40, let's say 40 and younger or 35 and younger, this group is so passive.
And this is the answer to your question, why doesn't America wake up?
Well, here's the reason.
Because we have trained all the school system and everything else has trained these kids to be very passive, do what the government says, and blah, blah, blah.
So, you know, it's hopeless.
There's nothing short of I don't know what that's going to change anything.
And so the drones are going to be coming in and have all these idiots.
Like that guy that we had that clip from a couple years ago with the lisp, that crazy kid.
I don't know.
It's better to be safe.
It's better to be safe.
What are we going to do?
I don't like that.
What clip was that?
Safe.
What clip was that?
It's a clip.
I can go get it again.
It was done in the clip show, too.
It's this kid who's just some guy.
He's about 25, maybe.
He's got this horrible speech impediment.
And he says it's okay to be frisked and shaken down at the airport.
Well, what are you going to do?
It's better to be safe.
It's better to be safe.
I want to hear this clip again.
Get it.
Oh, the search show notes is all messed up now.
Years.
I got five years of clips.
There's thousands of them.
We've put so much effort into this show.
It's a surprise that we even can manage to produce it.
Well, yeah, it is, really.
And you know what the problem is?
We make it look so easy.
Well, that's because we're pros.
Yeah, but that's why people forget.
That's funny.
I get, like, patch dev main dot lisp.
I've got, like, lisp files on my computer.
This is not good.
Lisps.
It would be lisps.
If you were to name that clip, what would you name it?
Idiot.
Idiot.
That's the problem.
We have way too many clips named Idiot because I essentially find a lot of idiot clips.
So I'm watching Australian TV. Yes.
And there's a movie they're showing, which is an Australian-produced movie.
I've never seen it before, called Seconds to Spare.
And there's some good examples.
I got a few clips from it, and one's a kicker.
But I do want to play a bad acting clip.
Ah.
They'll play bad acting.
The first one, not number two, but the first one, bad acting, seconds to spare.
You'll have a bad acting action.
Are you there, Haggerty?
Come on, pick up your lying son of a...
You didn't leave me any choice.
We had a deal.
What kind of a deal did you make with those people you killed at the facility?
I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Well, I'm guessing you didn't go there just to destroy the facility.
These people were not in the same room when they did this scene.
No, they were actually supposed to be over the phone.
But anyway, so here...
You can skip that one, because the better one is Bad Acting 2.
Of course.
And it's the sequel.
I don't know who this guy is, where he comes from, and what he wants.
We wait for him to come to us now.
Nobody goes after him.
Is that clear?
We need more towels.
We need more towels?
Yeah.
Hey, listen.
While we're in the middle of this, let me just give you some titles.
You tell me if you think that's it.
Okay?
Idiotic Clip?
No.
Hilarious Idiot Democracy Now?
No.
Another idiot, the view?
No.
WTF is this idiot?
Bobby Rush idiot?
No, try WTF and see what that is.
Okay, let's see.
WTF is this idiot?
Okay.
Come on, load.
Load!
Developed, finally, have guidelines that you have applied.
No, that's not going to be it, right?
That's just an idiot.
Yeah, that's just an idiot kid?
That might be it.
On Lenny?
On Lenny or Leno?
Lenny?
Diversity, opinions, faith.
No, that's not going to be it.
McCain, idiot.
Rick Perry is an idiot.
Idiot from Minnesota?
No.
Let me check.
I gotta rethink my name.
Volunteer military.
I disagree.
No, that would be a congressional idiot.
Yeah, that's mostly congressional.
American idiot.
Oh, that's one of your Green Day songs.
That's too bad.
Unfortunately...
I'll find an example playing on a future show.
So anyway, let's play the kicker.
Now, here's what I like.
This was, I think, this movie's done in 2002, something like that.
I just find it interesting that one of our basic theses shows up in a movie, because apparently it's impossible to actually do this in any other way other than with cornball fiction.
And by the way, this is a crappy film.
So hold on, what is our basic thesis?
Well, you'll hear it in the clip, and you can ring the bell when you hear it.
Seconds to spare kicker.
Oh, kicker.
Okay, here we go.
Police have a man on the emergency line claiming to be on our train.
Commander Haggerty here.
Who is this?
My name is Blake.
I'm on board a train headed for Sydney.
I'm listening?
We've been hijacked.
I'm assuming you already know that.
How many hijackers?
I'm only guessing, but I say maybe five or six of them are left.
You're American?
Is that a problem?
Not yet?
You got a first name, Mr.
Blake?
Listen, you can check me out later.
For now, we have to find a way to stop this train.
Who are you?
Paul Thomas Blake.
Former DEA. I've been tracking a guy on this train.
His name is Larkin.
Emmett Larkin.
American.
Worked for the CIA. Well, I'll have him checked out, but in the meantime, if I call the DEA, what will they tell me about you?
They'll tell you I've been in prison.
I was set up by Larkin and my former partner.
They were using drug money to fund CIA covert operations.
I tried to shut them down, but I ended up taking a fall for it.
That never happened.
They were using drug money to fund covert CIA operations.
That's pretty good.
Wow.
It's not clean for the day, but it's good.
It's good.
It's definitely good.
I'm sorry.
I'm still trying to find your lisping idiot.
No, don't even...
No.
I'm just trying.
We can't complete this show without talking about what I think is happening in Cyprus.
Here's a little rundown from the BBC on where we're at with the banking situation in Cyprus.
It's quite good, the way this douche knuckle explains it, but it's so matter-of-factly that you need to stop and take a second and think, well, hold on a second.
The banks are doing poorly, so therefore the European Union has to come in and rescue them, the banks, instead of letting the banks go bankrupt.
And this apparently, one way or the other, it's on the backs of the people, whether it's through austerity measures such as Greece and Portugal and Spain, and the Netherlands, by the way, or it's right up front and they just take some of your money.
And I think the deadline, I guess, is this Monday.
Well, they didn't manage it last time, and essentially we are looking at something of a repeat of what occurred over the last weekend, which is that the ECB has laid down an ultimatum.
They said that you have to meet our demands within this time frame.
If you don't do it, then, you know, we're going to cut off the assistance that Cypriot banks desperately need to keep functioning at this point in time.
That's the emergency liquidity assistance.
So it's kind of a repeat of what happened last week.
What is definitely politically a problem this time round, and we've had that absolutely confirmed, is a raid on deposits.
That just appears to be completely off the table.
If you can't do that, of course, your options start to look more limited for actually raising the cash.
So there's a good chance that Cyprus may not actually be able to get to the point of agreeing to a deal as of now.
And if they don't meet the deadline and the liquidity support gets taken away, that's the end of their time in the euro, is it?
They're out?
It does start to look like that.
It becomes very hard to function when, inside the euro, when your banking system is collapsed, you have banks that would then need urgently recapitalising, stocking up with...
I think that a lot of this is bull crap about who cares about Cyprus.
But we know from our extensive research that Cyprus is quite interesting in the global game.
And I'm going to lay out a couple of things, John.
I want you to kind of help me through this because I haven't been able to completely figure it out.
So there was talk.
Of course, a lot of the money there is a tax haven for Russian money.
And we're not just talking Mr.
Oil.
We're talking big, big money.
The guy that got killed in Great Britain.
Yeah, big, big bucks.
Now, Russia does not like Cyprus.
In fact, Russia's friend is Turkey.
And the reason why is if you look at all the Gazprom pipelines, you'll see they all go through Turkey.
The Russians go to Turkey on vacation.
Turkey has the biggest exporters to Russia.
Russia and Turkey, they are buds.
Cyprus, of course, has been targeted, and we know that we have Houston oil companies, American warships, all kind of circling around Cyprus for the Leviathan gas field, which will have to start pumping, and Cyprus actually has some claim to that, which will start pumping gas through Cyprus, through Greece, bypassing Turkey, going into Italy, going into Europe, of course, the largest customer.
Now, there's really only two Big customers that matter for natural gas.
Three if you count Japan, but that's...
Geography is a little complicated.
So we have Europe.
And Europe is very dependent upon Russian gas.
This is why Lucifer, Clinton, Hillary, and the no-neck monster Baroness Ashton went to the Balkans to secure the pipeline deal so they can have their own pipeline independent of the Russians coming up from the south.
And of course that actually competes with the Russian south stream.
It feels to me, and this is brand new, that Russia has now, for the first time in...
God, what is it?
How long is it?
More than 10 years of talks.
And this is right after...
No one's talking about this in the news.
So right after...
There's this potential threat of big Russian money being seized in Cyprus, which I would have to say is a big attack from the European Union on Russia, which seems kind of dumb, or maybe they're trying to weasel Russia out.
Russia turns right around and signs a deal with China.
To deliver all these natural resources, oil and gas.
And this is so 10 years they haven't been able to figure it out.
This happens, and boom, now all of a sudden this deal is done.
I'm somehow thinking...
Knowing how important the Chinas are to Europe as well, I'm thinking that in the back, and this may be weird and you're going to have to set me straight, John, I think that our American elites, the American oil and gas establishment, is working in cahoots with Russia to fuck Europe.
Well, there's a couple possibilities here.
First, let's throw a couple other little maybe truisms in.
First of all, if you're going to make an announcement, you're going to take 10% of the savings from the Cyprus banks, and you don't actually do it and then announce it.
In other words, you do it in advance.
You're actually setting up a run on the banks to break the country.
Right.
Exactly.
Exactly.
So this was done the same way, if you notice, with how they screwed with Greece.
They weren't playing ball either, so they did what they could to create bank runs and do all these things to screw the country, even though Greece, as we know, is the most productive of all the European nations in terms of individual productivity.
Which was documented over and over again.
So there's something going on.
Now, the Russians in Russia and the Russians who put their money in Cyprus are not necessarily part of the same clan.
So this may have been done to specifically screw the Russians who are expats living in Europe or doing some other kinds of deals, working on both sides of the fence, putting their money not in Russia, in a Russian bank where it actually could be recycled a little bit.
Right.
But they've moved the money offshore and put most of it in Cyprus, and this would kind of fall into play if we're trying to screw, you know, the Russians want to screw those guys, not kill them.
But this could also start like a war.
I mean, this is not a minor thing.
Well, it's not going to start much of a war if we're in bed with the Russians.
Well, okay.
Well, it's Turkey, the Europeans.
The Turks are always, you know...
They're pretty aggressive.
Yeah, they could be bombing somebody tomorrow.
In fact, there was a novel written by a famous Turk called World War III where he outlined the potential for a third world war developing from a battle that began by the Turks.
In the Middle East.
Yeah, it wouldn't be the first time.
Right.
So let me just add another data point as you work through this with me.
Another data point is that because of the extreme cold, the length of the cold period now in Euroland, Britain is on the brink of running out of natural gas.
Yeah, that's partially because, let's see, there was a pipeline disruption.
Get ready for this, people.
The pipeline from, let me just see if I can find this.
One of the Scandinavian partners, I think, had a pipeline disruption.
It appears that the United Kingdom, an island, is down to only two days out of reserves on natural gas.
So it would be very easy for, I think, Russia to go, nyet.
Yeah, but I don't think they'd do that.
Well, they have done it with Lithuania.
They've done it with other countries.
Yeah, but doing it with Great Britain is like asking for what would happen if they did that, which is why I don't think they will.
It would bring attention to the problem of reliance on Russia.
And then all these bypass pipelines, unless we're setting them up to do that.
Now, that's always possible.
That's exactly what I just said.
Somehow we're in cahoots.
Well, I think you said we're in cahoots with them, but I didn't think we were trying to screw them by being in cahoots.
Hold on a second.
Can we just say, as an overall global theme, that any American politician or elite is pretty much out to screw everybody else, regardless of how pretty we look?
Yes, I think that's probably true.
So if we could convince the Russians to...
The Russians are pretty good at geopolitics, so they're at least as good as we are.
So they would spot this and try to make it backfire on us somehow, because they like doing what they do.
And then we'd be estranged friends.
Still possible.
Which I think is more likely than them cutting off Britain.
We'll know shortly, but I don't see that happening.
I just don't...
I think they would do just the opposite and go out of their way to help them show you how generous the Russians are and make a big deal out of it.
And, you know, so then they started lording it over everybody.
Well, if it wasn't for us, you'd be dead by now.
It's like we used to do with World War II. If it wasn't for the Americans, you guys would be speaking German!
We've saved you twice already!
We've saved you twice!
What What more do you want?
Yeah.
It's got to get old.
But the Russians, the Russians can pull that side.
The kids don't realize, you know, every 40 years you've got to remind the new generation, though.
You can't even remind them to tell somebody not to cut in line.
I'm very sad.
Except in Texas.
I'm very sad to say we will be losing two more good friends after this year.
Of course, we had to say goodbye to Hillary.
And I hope we can keep the show on the air long enough to welcome her back.
She'll be back in six months after all the healing is done.
After the scarring has faded.
And she looks so...
Oh, she took some time off and look how young she looks from taking a vacation.
That's going to be the news coverage.
Oh, she looks so refreshed.
What happened to her jowls?
Haiku Herman...
Oh yeah, this is a shame.
Yeah, he will be leaving.
Well, maybe, if we're lucky, he might do some political haikus.
Appearing on Flemish Television Sunday, Euro Council President Herman Van Rompuy announced that after serving out his current second term on December 1st, he will shut the door on public politics.
His family, however, will soldier on.
Van Rompuy's wife is a municipal councillor, and both his sons are members of the Flemish Parliament.
So he will go, but probably...
Just as sad that no neck monster, no chin monster, baroness, high priestess, high representative Kathy Ashton will be leaving.
Yeah, I think she's leaving because Hillary's not in the business anymore.
I really think there's a connection between those two.
They really liked each other.
Yes, they liked each other.
They may have been bosom buddies.
They kind of look like each other, except she literally has no chin.
She added, the job is physically taxing.
Quote, it's quite hard and there's a lot of travel and a lot of sitting on planes.
My dear friend Hillary Clinton, and I talked about this a few times, it is exhausting.
With your own plane, your own staff.
It's exhausting, I tell you.
This business of ruling the slaves is just exhausting.
Hillary!
Come!
How do you do it?
How do you do it?
Who is your hairdresser's name?
Hillary!
Hillary!
Are you coming back?
I only want to come back if I'm president of Europe.
Just like Hillary.
I need to get me one of those Muslim girls.
Huma!
If I had one of those Muslim girls to take care of me, everything would be good and dandy.
So, anyway.
Yes, that's exactly what's going on.
I think we can manage.
We still got Biden.
O-Biden.
We got O-Biden.
That's true.
That's true.
Well, that's good.
And we have the crazy people in the State Department press conferences.
Yeah, yeah.
We got some of that.
We got some of that.
And there's a lot of legislation coming out.
And we have this big Senate bill now.
Luckily, luckily, luckily.
Yeah, lots of stuff.
I also want to talk about, not today's show.
I'm going to push it off to Thursday.
Frago 242.
What?
Frego 242?
Can I play this?
You might as well.
Well, I think when the WikiLeaks documents came out in November 2011, I had a sense, and the team that I work with who spent a lot of time covering the wars in Iraq, that there was a deeper story here.
And one of the things that made us very interested was...
There was a reference to a thing called FRAGO 242 which was Fragmentary Order 242 which was a US military order instructing US soldiers to ignore Iraq on Iraqi torture.
Now this incident, this FRAGO 242 came up over a thousand times in the documents as we looked at it and we wondered why was this order issued and what was the story behind it and there was also references in the WikiLeaks To General Adnan Tabat, who was visiting the American Embassy.
So it was a sense that there was a deeper story to tell here and that the WikiLeaks documents, because they were the actual documents and what the State Department was sending back to Washington about what was going on, that this was a real treasure trove that we should explore rather than just become excited about the means of these documents being delivered.
Oh, okay.
Yes.
No one cares.
No, not in this country.
But they're playing this documentary that The Guardian did called Searching for Steel, S-T-E-E-L-E, and there's a link in the show notes which I sent you so people can watch this thing.
It's only 52 minutes.
And it has that character in it, this guy from Iraq that was the, I guess the guy who ran these Essentially, it's a discussion of the secret police set up by our guys and a death squad and apparently tons of torture camps.
And it's quite fascinating.
And in one of her laments, the woman who did this, who's a very famous journalist, literally, she says it's weird because...
German TV's got it on.
Everybody's watching this documentary in one way, shape, or form.
Here, PBS doesn't give a crap.
None of the networks want to even look at it.
Hello, Lindsay Lohan has been arrested.
What's your problem?
What are you trying to watch?
It goes on and on about this, and I'm laughing to myself, and she says there's only two outlets, including Democracy Now!, which is like marginalized, to say the least, and Real TV, which is that sketchy operation, and so that even care, and you're right, nobody cares, and it's fascinating that nobody cares, and I think she made a good point, though, when she says people weren't looking at the WikiLeaks documents to try to get some good stories out of them.
They were just going, wow, wow, somebody leaked all these documents.
Yeah.
Which is the way we do things, and it's just, it's so pathetic that...
No, I can tell you how really pathetic it is.
I'll give you an example, because the BBC has their own version of ignoring facts.
Well, here's the real kicker to me.
Why...
I mean, they do this in other countries.
Why haven't people like Rumsfeld and others, and Cheney and others, been arrested for war crimes?
Yeah.
Oh, are you insane?
Okay.
Don't say that word.
I get picked up.
Only if you say yes.
Just keep saying no.
I'm not insane.
I am not insane.
We need dog tags or like a medical bracelet.
This would be a good premium, by the way.
Anyone could make this.
No agenda medical bracelet that says 100% sane.
It's fact.
Fact.
Fact.
So, of course, it's almost April.
The global warming scam has not worked because, of course, we are now going into a new ice age.
Everyone can laugh all you want.
I've been saying it for years based upon what we learned in the 70s.
That was the fact back then.
The government is always lying to you.
They say zig, you gotta zag.
So, of course, we can't really bring up the fact that everyone's freezing their ass off in the UK. Where are we supposed to have no snow ever again?
Children would only know snow globes, and they would know movies with snow.
That's what they said, and we have that clip that proves that.
And, by the way, if there's so much record heat every year, why are there only two days left of natural gas?
So, exactly.
So this is coming up.
So we have to distract the slaves.
Now, in America, we have a guy for that.
You've got something going on and you need a distraction.
Call Clooney.
Call Clooney.
We call Clooney.
Now, the BBC has to do something else.
And, of course, it's something that we've done, so they just report on it.
Very quickly, a prosecutor in the United States who's so fed up with the bad weather that he's filed a criminal indictment against the groundhog, which every February predicts when spring will start.
Well, this groundhog is known as Phil, and he's being charged with misrepresentation of early spring.
And the prosecutor is recommending the death penalty.
That's all for now.
What great news from the bees.
I'm going to shoot Punxsutawney Phil.
And by the way, if that's how they're going to treat the groundhog, just wait until you weatherman.
How they're going to treat you in a little while.
The shittisonry will come and shoot you.
Fact.
Fact.
I think, let's see, Bitcoin, we already did that.
I thought it was pretty funny how just tons of, they're really trying right now.
So this is, it's very beautiful to watch the manipulation of the Bitcoin community.
Wonderful to see.
Oh, guy puts his house up for 5,100 Bitcoins.
Okay.
So, of course, that's bullcrap story.
Totally.
They just get story after story.
There's no way you can make that work.
Europe is running to Bitcoin.
And so, on Friday, it's like, everyone in Spain is buying a Bitcoin.
Well, it's so funny because the price dropped to 60.
I track this now.
It dropped down to 60.
Oh, Spain's buying.
Well, that means that people are selling it.
This is totally, this makes no sense.
So the fluctuation has been between 60 and 70 over the past two days.
That's a pretty volatile market.
So when you own one, so when you pay 60 bucks for this Bitcoin, so does that give you a piece of like some ownership in a large corporation like a stock certificate would do?
No.
It gives you a number.
Okay, now I own this number and I can use that for, I can use that when I go to the store?
Well, yes.
If you're going to the Health Rangers seed store at naturalnews.com.
Those seeds are overpriced.
If I'm going to buy seeds, I'm going to get the Burpee catalog or the Heritage seed catalog.
I'm going to buy seeds by mail order.
I know who and I know how they're making money off of this.
This is very simple.
So first of all, you set up an exchange like Max Keiser who probably owns all of them.
That's where the real money is.
But that's a pain in the ass.
It's like work.
Yeah, that's a lot of money.
That's work.
And he's done that before, so he knows how to do it.
He knows how to do it.
He already has the software.
Yeah, he knows how to do it.
I like the one, so you can generate a Bitcoin key, and then you can essentially, if you can remember the number, or let's say you have it engraved on some jewelry, this is a new one, the Bitcoin ring, so if someone then chops off your finger, then they have all your money, or you can just remember it.
I have a genius idea, I think, and I'll cut you in for 50%, because we're partners, we're partners.
You sure don't just want to give the idea to the show?
Done.
The idea is to the show, and it's a Bitcoin ham radio.
So you transfer the Bitcoin through ham radio.
Think about it.
Yeah, I'm waiting for the money to roll in.
Why did I even bring that up?
Okay.
All right.
I am actually seeing if it can be done.
I've got to be honest.
Yes, I'm sure you are.
I'll look forward to that.
It's fun.
It's fun.
All right, everybody.
Remember, you are crazy by the new standards, so be very careful out there, everybody.
You want to play a little kicker at the end when we sign off?
Yeah, sure.
What you got?
Seconds to spare hilarious gun sequence.
It's just something you can clip and use for any possible use.
It's just a bunch of guys shooting each other.
Great.
We'll use that as end of show clip.
Fantastic.
It's good for the gun debate.
Great.
So, yes, people, if you're going to wear your T-shirt, let's put it this way.
If you have Tourette's, don't wear the End of Fed T-shirt.
You just can't combine the two.
That would be our tip.
Yeah, that's a good tip.
That's the only tip we got for you.
It's a good tip.
And keep an eye on your family.
They're trying to report you for being crazy.
Yeah, don't trust anybody in the old family.
And don't cut in line in Texas.
Coming to you from the capital of that drone star state in Austin.
In the morning, everybody.
My name's Adam Curry.
And coming to you from the capital of northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
No Agenda Producer Update is coming up on the live stream next.
Enjoy that.
We'll be back on Thursday.
Support us at Dvorak.org slash NA. In the morning, everybody.
Talk to you on Thursday.
