Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 510.
This is No Agenda.
Buenos dias a cinco de mayo!
From the Travis Heights Hideout, where so-called me's mofo in Austin, Texas.
Good morning, everybody.
I'm your Tourette terrorist, Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, I'm John C. Dvorak.
Viva Krishna Ray!
Hey, it's Sanco de Mayo.
Hey, Sanco de Mayo to you.
Yeah, well, we didn't get much action this week in terms of our people helping us out because we got blacklisted by the Google police.
Well, let me just say that it is...
First of all, I'm looking for a job.
It is a sad, sad state of affairs where we have, in exchange for cheap...
Trinkets like Chrome and Gmail and Google Docs and all of this crap.
We have allowed the government, because let us be honest, Google is the government, now police the internet.
And we are allowing it.
Well, I've got a column coming out in PC Magazine tomorrow, Monday.
Maybe we need to explain what's happening first.
People should read it.
Well, here's what happened.
There's an injection infection.
Taking place on a lot of WordPress blogs.
Now, I'm seeing it, and it immediately showed up on my blog through some mechanism.
We still can't identify where it's coming from.
I honestly believe it still could be coming from Google, since on one of the safe browsing pages, it shows that they're infected, but that's to be discussed in another venue.
Anyway, so we got this, and so we immediately got blacklisted.
And on the Chrome browser, and then we got blacklisted on the Firefox browser, which apparently uses the same blacklist now.
And the question, by the way, just as an aside, let me mention that this is a WordPress exploit.
Dvorak.org slash NA is a stagnant page that has nothing to do with my WordPress.
Well, let me just take this a little further, because while this...
And so what happens, just so people who haven't seen it, you can probably go to...
In fact, if this is 2015, you can still probably go to Dvorak.org and see this.
And up pops a...
In fact, let's just take a look at this.
Because this is...
It's not just saying, hey, something could go wrong here.
No, no.
There is a little drawing, a cartoon of John.
It is actually John with his prison stripes...
Crawling through your laptop screen and pressing your keyboard.
And the statement, this website contains malware.
And what's interesting is that when this happened to Dvorak.org, it happened to Curry.com, it happened to NaShowNotes, it happened to NoAgendaShow.com, and the reason it happened there is because of a simple image That was linked from the Dvorak website, from a static page, just an image on your server.
So even an embed is what that technically is, and that's just an image, coming from your website was enough to blacklist my sites, the show site and the show notes site, as having malware, which is technically not true.
Now here's And noagendashow.com is on Squarespace, which is notorious for preventing this stuff.
So why would they get blacklisted?
Well, there's a couple of problems.
First of all, this is the problem when you let a company be the boss.
And so we've...
Oh, Chrome.
And by the way, Chrome is probably the best browser out there when it comes to being fast and not crashing like a bunch of crap like Firefox does all the time.
And we as an entire universe have allowed this to happen.
It's like the Indians, like the American Indians taking...
Oh, look at the beads!
They're so pretty.
Oh, a mirror.
I can see my face.
And now we have this, and now they're the boss.
Because apparently, no matter what website you go to, these browsers are reporting back to Command Central, to Google.
Let me stop you there.
When did we get browser-level blacklisting?
When did that happen?
Well, apparently it's...
Well, here's the thing that's really sad.
Because I was sitting back and watching the emails just stream in.
You, by the way, were sitting in your underwear on your chaise lounge, had no idea.
I had to call you.
I was on it when you called.
You were on the chaise lounge.
You were in your chaise lounge.
Because you went, oh really?
Hold on, let me check.
No.
But here's the thing that is sad.
The majority of people that I got email from and very intelligent people because this has nothing to do with being smart or dumb but it's just understanding of the technology of what's happening actually believe And I can still see this in the comments on the post you put on Dvorak.org slash blog.
Actually believe that the browser is scanning for like some super virus detector and the browser is scanning and looking to make sure that the websites are safe.
Because the minute, you know, of course this exploit was cleaned up and that was taken care of and people are still saying, no, the browser still reports it as it's a problem.
The browser is not scanning for anything.
This is a blacklist.
You're on a...
It's like Schindler's list.
Screw it.
This is Goebbels' list.
You're on the opposite.
I'm sorry.
Yes, you're on the Hitler list.
The Google SS-Siraheis-Polizei shit list.
And until they decide to take you off, which I'm sure they're really motivated to do that after you say that their toy project is a hoax.
I'm sure they're real motivated to go rushing over to the database.
One keystroke could fix this problem.
Could fix it.
Well, here's what bothers me the most about what you just said.
They are obviously using the Google bots to find stuff and then they put it on the blacklist.
I obviously don't do a very good job of it because my Avast and other virus checkers will find pages constantly that have something on them that it doesn't like and refuses to let me look at it unless I go through a process, which I prefer.
I'd rather be told by my own virus checker.
Because if the page gets fixed and I go back and the virus checker doesn't see anything, then, well, okay, here's the page.
This isn't the case with Google.
They send the robot out, they find a bad page, put it on the blacklist, and then...
When the robot goes back out and they see the page is clean, why isn't the blacklist cleaned up in the exact same milliseconds that it was banned?
Oh, no.
So this is the thing that, and I should have known when this happened to me.
Remember I had the Big App Show app?
And it was great.
I was doing like a couple thousand dollars a month with people liking the ads.
I was actually programming ads in my app.
Like, hey, man, this might be something you're interested in.
And then Google sent me a note and said, oh, listen, this is clearly click fraud.
Clearly, you're enticing your audience to click on these ads.
I said, yeah, I'm telling this is stuff that's relevant.
And they said, well, you're blacklisted forever.
You can fill out a form, which of course I did, and it goes straight into the trash.
Bitbucket.
Dev null.
And I'm forever banned from ever using any of Google's ad products ever again.
There's no way to undo that.
And this potentially could go on for months, this problem you have.
Of course, we're bitching about it, so maybe they'll understand the...
Maybe.
Who am I kidding?
No, no, no.
I'm not going to fuck about it.
Who am I kidding?
In fact, they have no relationships with the press.
No, they don't give a crap.
They have a little thing called press at Google.com.
And they always send you notes back when they rarely send them.
And it's anonymous.
It's all anonymous.
They do not interact at all because, again, who knows?
I mean, it's just their style.
And, by the way, I also want to call out some people.
The people on Google Plus, that piece of shit that is trying to compete with Facebook and Twitter.
Hold on, people.
This is John actually mad.
I just want to point out, John is actually mad now.
For all the times you weren't sure, now he's pissed.
Go ahead, John.
So I want to call Jeff Jarvis as a douchebag.
If you'd hit the button for me.
Of course.
He writes in there.
This is a guy who wrote a book on what would Google do.
And he's a professor at one of the New York colleges.
Fear factories.
And he says, Google's...
Here's a post he did on the third.
Google's grand gentleman...
Matt Cutts refuses to lower himself to the level of John C. Dvorak's snark.
Really, John?
Do you think Google would bother itself and risk its reputation to bring revenge upon everyone who ever said anything bad about them?
Yeah!
Yeah, for sure!
Is that what Jeff Jarvis wrote?
Yeah!
What an a-hole.
And who is this Cuts guy?
Because I saw his thing.
He's the Google Grand Gentleman.
The Grand Gentleman?
Is he a dandy?
That's what Jarvis calls him.
Hey, by the way, now Skype is starting to suck.
Could you stop writing columns about these companies, please?
We're trying to run a business here.
This is not working out for us.
So, yeah, I read Kutz's...
Hold on a second.
He wrote something.
I mean, these guys basically have become the police.
Yes, and that's the question that I'm asking.
Why?
And how did anyone let this happen?
And why are we putting up with it?
Okay, so this is what I said.
We're putting up with it because we took trinkets of browser crap in exchange, all free.
Oh, it's free!
And here you go.
Now Google is in charge.
The only avenue I see left...
There's only three things we can do.
One, there's a job opening for Director of News and Content at Twitter, which I think you and I should consider.
I have the job posting here.
We should probably look at that.
Two, we can become whores, prostitutes.
I mean, like, really?
That would be kind of what I was thinking of.
And three, this is really the only thing, is there needs to be an independent web browser, and maybe that's a Kickstarter project.
No, that's a Kickstarter project.
You need $100 million.
Seriously, you need a lot of money.
To really build this and maintain it for 15 years.
You have to set up a shop.
That's a real business.
Mozilla is out of the picture now.
Mozilla does $100 million a year in payments for making Google the default search.
Right.
So they're all compromised.
All roads lead back to Google.
So the only thing that can be done is we need a truly independent browser that is financed, and maybe every 10 years we have to raise another $100 million, and otherwise you get what you pay for.
Oh, I got free email.
I got a free browser.
It's so great.
This is what's going to happen.
And pretty soon, it's not just going to be some bogative claim of malware.
It's going to be, oh, that's hate speech.
No, you can't see that website.
Oh, that's bullying.
No, you can't see that website.
No, I agree.
That's exactly where this is headed.
That's where this is headed.
And I'm sure everyone loves it.
We're on Schmitt's list, by the way.
That's what it is.
Not Schmitt's list.
Schmitt.
Schmitt.
That Nazi Schmitt.
I'll say it.
I'll say it.
This is very, very dangerous what's happening here.
And here we go.
Head of News and Journalism.
Now there's an opening in San Francisco or New York, but I think we could probably split it.
I'm sure Mickey would move to New York with me if we had to eat.
Twitter is playing an integral role in the evolution of the news.
We might as well just ruin everything.
Can't we become head of news and journalism at Twitter?
You and me together?
Yeah, that would do it.
I love it when they can't even write English in their own job posting.
Here it is.
You will be also Twitter's representative to the news industry.
You will be also Twitter's representative to news industry.
Sounds like Yoda wrote it.
They have computers writing their job descriptions now.
You will be also base belong to us.
How can they put that out there for the news and journalism job posting?
You will be also Twitter's representative to the news industry.
Apparently they should be hiring copy editors, not to help.
So, of course, just like when you have a bandwidth problem or when you have a DNS issue as it's propagating throughout the Internet, it hurts.
It always, always hurts.
And I got a lot of emails from people saying, hey, I can't donate because I'm afraid that I'm going to get infected.
And those are the stagnant pages, which really galls me.
Static is the word.
Static.
Well, they're stagnant, too.
I've got to update them often.
You are technically correct.
Stagnant.
They're stagnant pages.
So I set up donate.curry.com, and so I sucked down the donation page, and I still had to remove the word Dvorak.
I kept trying to find out why is it still popping up.
So that was a page hosted on Amazon's S3. You can't get more stagnant than that.
But it was still referring to an image, the Night Shield image, which was hosted on your stagnant server.
And it was throwing up the malware thing.
And now, by the way, I'm also being listed as infected.
You're not getting...
Yeah, you passed on your Google AIDS to me, man.
Fuck off with that.
This is so bad.
This is really...
It's sad.
It's just sad.
It's just...
Well, what's really bad about it is the...
Now that you mentioned these anomalies, which make zero sense, you have a very, obviously, an incompetent operation going on that is ruining things.
Let's...
Let's point out a couple of things about Google and all this free stuff.
They seem to be a company, a little bit, I didn't think this at first, but I'm starting to notice it, a little bit like Microsoft, where they get something going like Gmail.
Gmail was the leader of the free email operations.
They suck a lot of people into it, tons.
It became the dominant player.
And then they let it just stagnate.
It hasn't been updated.
It hasn't been, except they put this little JavaScript, it appears JavaScript thing in the corner, where you know when you compose the message, it's actually screwier than it used to be.
Yeah.
And it jumps around, it has all these issues.
And it's just, it's a piece of crap.
And compared to everything else, and they don't seem to care, which is because they got their people in it and they're done.
I think the search engine is probably, maybe the guys at Microsoft are correct.
Well, and let me just, can you try something for me?
Can you turn down or put less output of the mic into Skype?
Because whenever you really modulate, it just, it breaks up and it's...
UC doesn't do that.
Let me turn me down.
Just a tad, maybe.
Not too much.
Well, I don't know.
We'll have to find, give me some level.
Yeah, okay.
All right.
Now, here's the worst part of it.
This so-called malware, this horrible hidden frame, right, was not going to necessarily go in and eat up your computer registry or install a key logger or whatever.
It's an SEO hack, okay?
And it's for some, like, organic bullcrap stuff that is really, it's a hack against Google, right?
So that this product will show higher in rankings.
So Google is not protecting you, not protecting your computer, certainly not protecting your server, John, your WordPress, but it's protecting their business.
That's what's going on here.
And they're spying on you.
They're spying on every single page you go to.
Chrome is reporting back to home base, checking to see if it's okay to talk to these pages.
Do you understand the significance of that?
Do people really get what's going on here?
Apparently, the answer to that is no.
But the crazy thing is, we can change this.
I mean, they don't own the internet, but they certainly own the experience with these browsers.
And, of course, Mozilla is completely compromised, we know now, because they're calling from the same database.
They take $100 million a year from Google.
So, done.
They're compromised.
We need a true independent consortium that will have to be funded by people who give a crap and otherwise enjoy.
I mean, personally, I'm going back to Lynx.
I mean, the Lynx browser rocks.
And I got my ham radio license, so at the end of the day, I'm good.
I'm golden.
Yeah, I may start using Linux in Conqueror.
Conqueror?
What?
There's a bunch of them out there.
Yeah.
So anyway.
So we're screwed until they fix this.
And they're going to take their sweet time because they can put you on the blacklist in a millisecond, but the same mechanism can't seem to take you off the blacklist.
The other thing is they want you to go to Webmaster Tools, which is a Google product, and file a request.
They want you to add a DNS record.
Did you see this?
No, I didn't see that one.
Oh yeah, you have to add, to prove that it's your domain, prove, you have to add a DNS text record, TXT, because they're doing, they also want control of DNS. I mean, if people don't, people are like, yeah, Google's DNS servers are great.
It's simple to remember, 8.8.8.8, it's great.
Oh, Google's great.
Yeah, keep doing that, slaves.
Keep doing that.
Because they're taking over.
And just like people are now finally discovering, and even that, and by the way, people who don't care, you don't deserve anything.
Oh, hey, it's funny.
On Facebook, not everyone sees when I update.
No, Facebook is deciding what of your posts are going to be seen by who, unless you pay them seven dollars.
That's when you know that they'll...
And even then, you're not sure that they're showing it to everybody.
This is what's next with Google.
You're going to get DNS redirects.
You're going to get pages that just either won't work or you'll get one of these little prison...
Little thief in a prison outfit with his hand reaching through.
I mean, this is...
That is truly...
Go back and look at some of the Nazi propaganda about Jews.
That is what is on that page, John.
That is an anti-Jew propaganda piece from Google.
I'm sorry.
Look at it.
Do you remember?
Of course you do.
But do you remember the Nazi propaganda against Jews?
They had them in thieves and prisoners in the night and they had little cartoons.
Yeah, that's what that is.
Vaguely.
That's what that is.
Look at it.
Yeah, it's pretty onerous in a kind of light-hearted way.
It's not funny.
It's not light-hearted because they literally are calling you and your website, calling you a thief.
Not just malware.
It's a thief.
It's a thief and you're reaching through someone's screen and you're touching their keyboard.
I'm sorry.
I take this stuff very seriously.
Words matter.
Drawings matter even more.
Well, you know, the operation is just idealistically.
We won't do evil and all the rest of the crap.
It's just completely off the track.
Yeah.
But still, it just stuns me that it's gotten this far with the Google police running the blacklist, browser-level blacklist.
This is not a corporate blacklist.
This is not a blacklist from the country of China on incoming traffic.
This is a browser-level, right at the very top, right-in-your-face blacklist run by Google and not an independent operation by any means.
And no one has said anything or bitched about this?
No.
But it's worse, people.
I mean, when the internet first came along, everybody and their sister was moaning about advertisement.
There was, you know, there was like...
Oh, no, I got it.
I got it.
Hey, Curry, MTV.com, get off, man.
You're ruining the web.
You're ruining the...
They even have a web.
You're ruining the internet, man.
You're ruining it.
Well, yeah.
Yeah, and there's some little event that takes place in a foreign country and everyone changes their Twitter icons green or blue or purple or whatever.
That all takes place, but nobody cares at all that Google now owns the web, essentially.
They own it.
No, they totally own it.
Done.
Yeah, they own it.
Over.
Yeah, and you kowtow to them or you F off.
Yeah.
And there is, I think, Jarvis who wrote a book of, you know, what would Google do, which deifies Google if the title doesn't, it would slam me out of the blue with an unnecessary post with his, I guess, his buddy, Matt Cutts, Google's Grand Gentleman.
I mean, it's disgusting.
Hey, will you call me back?
It's really hard.
It's getting a little tough to talk.
Why don't you call me?
All right.
What shall I call you?
Yeah, that's the next thing that started to suck.
Then we got Microsoft screwing up with Skype.
It's like everything that's good, you know, corporations come in and screw it.
When are we going to figure this out?
When are we going to say, oh, it's like, you know, it's like everyone's like, wow, I can't wait for Google Fiber coming to Austin.
Screw that.
Screw it.
I don't want your Google Fiber.
What, so you can just cut more stuff off?
Lock me out when you feel like it?
Isn't this what net neutrality is supposed to thwart?
I mean, I'm all for security and I'm all for if I feel that I'm worried about what's happening with my computer, I can install software from companies I think I can trust.
I don't trust them either, by the way.
But I think it's a little overbearing that we've allowed Google to really just do whatever.
I didn't ask for this.
I can't turn it off.
Are you still there?
Yeah.
And Jeff Jarvis?
On your side.
Jeff Jarvis?
He should be ashamed of himself for writing that.
He's probably on the take.
Well, you know, it would make sense.
Why is all of a sudden he defending Google?
Yeah, who died and made him their fairy godmother.
They had a Google.
Had a Google.
Google doesn't even bother to defend itself.
It doesn't need to.
Now I know I never get letters back from press at google.com.
Yeah, well certainly not letters, maybe an email, but I wouldn't be going to the mailbox.
So what's your column going to be about?
It's just the title is, who, what is the title?
Who made, when did Google become the internet police?
That's the title.
Right.
Well.
And then I bitch about what happened.
And I have a few pointers to here and there.
And then I don't, I'm going to probably do a follow-up call moaning about this stuff that you just brought up about the linked photos.
Yeah, yeah.
Which will probably be on Wednesday or Thursday.
And then I ask the question I'm asking you, which is why, where's the tech community?
Oh, no, no.
The tech community is afraid because they all want to be hired by Google.
You see?
This is how it works.
And if they're not being hired by Google, they're probably, where the money is, working in SEO, and they don't want to get blacklisted by Google, you know, because you don't want your name out there.
You've got to be flying under the radar.
The true tech community is, like us, eating mac and cheese, brother.
It's the people who are vocal.
No one's going to be vocal about this.
They're afraid.
This is no different from celebrities or royalty.
People like Jeff Jarvis.
And by the way, where's Stallman on this?
Well, they'll just suck in Google's cock.
Sucking a cock.
That's one way of putting it.
Okay.
Well, that's my Tourette speaking, but that's my emotional side.
Yeah, don't forget, ladies and gentlemen, he has Tourette's.
Well, there was some news.
Besides us.
We should have a disclaimer before the show starts, like an insert.
Warning, this program contains language spoken by a sufferer of Tourette's Syndrome.
Do not be offended.
He's just ill.
So we do have some news besides us.
Although, this is a good news item, it seems to me.
Yeah, well, okay.
I think we're done.
I just wanted to say one other thing while we're on big companies.
I'd like to say something to Amazon.
Amazon.com.
Jeff Bezos.
I thought you really knew me.
I know you try to send me offers about products and services based upon what I've read or what I've watched or things that I've bought.
But please, stop sending me Mother's Day advertisements.
She's been dead for six years!
Yeah, that's bad.
It's insulting.
That's very insulting, Jeff Bezos.
I hate that.
Don't you hate that?
I know you get it.
Your mom's passed.
Yeah.
And I said this to Mickey this morning.
She's like, yeah, I get that too.
It's hurtful.
Just reminding people that their mothers died in some sick way.
It's sick!
Yeah, it is sick, I'm telling you!
It's sick!
And they're supposed to know so much.
I mean, you think that I need the strawberry-flavored condoms, yet you don't know my mom is dead?
Please, get with my program.
Yeah, what does it take to tick off a box?
Yeah, really.
I mean, I'll even do a survey.
Is anyone in your family dead?
Yes.
Mother?
No.
Maybe you can do a time release on some other family members.
And yeah, and then...
And then they just won't send me that.
It's like, you don't want to hurt me every single time.
And it's bad.
Last chance for Mother's Day!
It's like, no.
No, I don't have a last chance for that.
And worse, then I'm like, maybe I should send something to my ex-wife because she's the mother of my kid.
Now you've really got my brain messed up.
It's like, I don't want to send anything to anybody.
Stupid.
Yeah, well, it's the drawback of all this crap.
Obviously, this is much more important than Israel nuking Syria, clearly.
Because we made no money.
Should we just thank our executive producer?
Yes, our one executive producer came in on the Sanco de Mayo.
Not even associate.
No, the rule is that if you're at an associate level but nobody's higher than you, the highest associate gets executive producer.
Oh, okay.
I would read the rules, but I'm sorry.
There's a little...
I've said this rule over and over again.
So Joshua Dale, Esquire, Sir Joshua, to you in Monte Rio, California, sent in $250.
He's our only executive producer.
He's the gotduihelp.com guy, a lawyer that handles cases of DUI. I know his number here in Texas.
It's like 7777777.
Well, that would be easy to remember.
He's working on a second night who was just getting by by eating Annie's Organic Shells and White Cheddar.
And he would love a Kiki Science Mumble, Leo Science, and LGY. Oh, wow.
Okay, Kiki Science Mumble, Leo Science, and LGY. Shut up already!
Science!
Science!
Wow!
That was pretty good.
Yeah, it wasn't bad.
I do have another possible science.
It may have to be clipped a little bit, but I have a science on my clip.
Science is everything.
This was taken from a piece of crap movie that I have a list of it here somewhere.
I'll get the name of it, but play it.
I've studied it, but I don't comprehend the science.
What if it's not science?
What if it's something bigger than science?
Science is everything!
Am I still your favorite subject?
You know, I had a conversation.
We were at Halcyon on Saturday.
And by the way, like, everybody showed up this weekend.
It was just crazy.
Like, there's Gene Barron de Marriott, the sheriff of Texas.
We had Mike, the producer Mike, show up.
Oh, and my Obama-bot friends from the dinner, who, by the way, Now, keep chiding me.
It's like, oh, I'm sorry.
Was that too Obama-bot that I said just there?
As well they should.
And by the way, Lori Frick, she has an art show in San Francisco, and she really wants you to come.
She really wants you to come.
She guarantees cheap Chardonnay and plastic glasses.
That sounds right.
She knows the drill.
Right.
I said, I'll ask, I'll ask.
She's a big fan.
She's like a huge fan.
Like, we'll only listen to Twit when you're on it type fan.
So, anyway.
So, everyone's stopping by.
We're talking about science.
Science.
And I think what happened in the psyche, somewhere along the line, I think it's when a lot of people started believing or, you know, we kind of moved in the media from creationism to the theory of evolution.
You know, so we have evolution is science and everything else is bull crap, apparently.
You can't believe in anything else.
And that's where this science thing comes from.
You know what I'm saying, John?
It's kind of hard for me to put into words, but it's like science is now the basis of everything, and fact is science, and science is fact.
And everything else is a crazy guy sitting on the cloud up in the sky.
And it's being misused everywhere.
About science and it being fact.
And the worst, of course, is when someone says, most scientists agree.
That's when you can stand in their face and say, that is then not science.
It's not.
Consensus is not science.
No, I mean, this is a huge problem.
It's hard to resolve because they've set up the structure.
I think they've done a wonderful job of setting up the structure.
In fact, we had a clip about a year and a half ago, and you might be able to look it up.
It's a Chris Matthews clip where he's grilling some...
I usually burn those after the show.
Well, you're probably doing the right thing.
But anyway, he's belittling some schlub...
Who is on the show, who apparently is a creationist.
He may or may not be a creationist.
The latest creationist, evolutionist kind of combo.
It doesn't make any difference, but he was just giving the guy crap.
And then he went to a rant about why the Republicans are so screwed up because they don't believe in science.
Oh, wait a minute.
Maybe I have a couple of them that didn't get on the show.
Let's see if it's this one.
That may not be it.
That's him about conspiracy theories.
Do you know what it would be titled?
Do you know what it would be called?
No.
Here's my list of Chris Matthews crips.
Chris Matthews botch.
Chris Matthews guns.
Chris Matthews it's racist.
Chris Matthews CIA does.
Chris Matthews douchebag one.
Chris Matthews evokes Hitler.
Chris Matthews jeopardy.
Chris Matthews idiots.
Chris Matthews.
Matthews conspiracy.
Matthews Bachman is kooky.
Matthews Ron Reagan Jr.
Well, try the one.
Douchebag one.
Look, the more control we give into the U.N., it's control we're taking and we're losing U.S. sovereignty.
Well, how does that work?
Explain how that works.
No, explain in this case how that works.
Let me give you an out in this case.
Okay, as you said before, in the U.S., we have made great progress with people with disabilities.
I don't think that's it.
No.
No.
But I do like it as a show title.
Douchebag one.
That's kind of interesting.
Douchebag one.
I'll write it down.
Douchebag one to douchebag two.
Douchebag 2!
Douchebag 2!
I'm coming in!
I'm coming in!
Hey, by the way, in the morning to you, John C. Dworak...
Well, in the morning to you, Adam Curry, in the morning to all the ships that see the boots on the ground, the subs in the water, the feet in the air, and all the dames and knights out there.
Yes, and in the morning to all of our human resources in the chat room there, to noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net.
And I guess I would like to, now, I know what you are like, but you've got columns and other stuff, and you've got kids, you know, working for you, but, you know, I need the money, so the alternative page is donate.curry.com, Of course, that doesn't fit in our jingle.
But you can also rest assured that you can click on the advanced, it's not even a button, where it says advanced when you get this thief page and then proceed at your own risk and you can get to the donation page.
Please, we're 40% of what we normally get.
Maybe even 37% or something.
Yeah, no, we lost probably two-thirds of our sales.
Yeah, sales.
Sales?
Yeah.
How's inventory doing, John?
Inventory is, we're way overstocked.
Overstocked.
We're totally overstocked.
We're going to have to have a sale.
We've got a sale on reality right here, people.
Yeah, so please help us.
And so donate.curry.com or dvorak.org slash NA. And just ignore the danger to your health warnings.
It makes me so mad.
We really do need the help, and I need to send some karma out.
I think I jinxed the poor guy.
Sir Andrew Gardner, No Agenda Racing Team, Oh my god, he wrecked out on this thing.
He crashed?
He crashed in Jersey, yeah.
But what is cool, as I got the video in the show notes, what's cool is he has telemetry, so he has an onboard camera on his bike, and he has the telemetry of the track in the left-hand corner, and it says like noagendaracing.com, and it shows his speed.
That guy's doing like 150 miles on corners.
Yeah, I know.
That type of racing is wild.
Anyway, so some douchebag passed him on the straight inside and then stood on his brake in the turn.
So Sir Andrew, like, you know, he hit the brakes.
Brows into him?
No, no, but he dumped the bike, yeah.
He says he's sore.
It's funny because then you see him, like, limping in the background.
It's not funny.
Yeah, well, you fall off a bike at those speeds.
It hurts.
Yeah, it hurts.
It hurts.
So, yeah, so anyway, you can find that in the PR. You can find his video.
And I want to send him a little special karma.
He certainly deserves that.
You've got karma.
And while we're at it, we might as well ask you to go out and do something extremely important, which is propagate the formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Hey, Jeff Jarvis, suck this bitch!
Shut up.
That's the Tourette's.
I can't help it.
I don't know what to do.
Yeah, you better get some medicine.
Can I tell you something about this?
What?
So someone...
Hold on a second.
This is actually quite funny.
So there's this big piece on...
I think it might have been...
Maybe it was ABC. I don't think it was ABC. It's about the...
Well, here's the...
I'll play the intro, and there's something really funny that pops in this that relates to my mental condition.
Harry Moret.
Hello, everyone.
Thanks for joining us tonight.
For millions of Americans, the sight of a policeman instills a sense of calm faith that order is being kept, that the good guys are watching.
But for many others, thousands stopped on the streets of New York because they look or act a certain way.
Encounters with the blue and white breed fear, frustration, and anger at a force that some say is bent more on intimidation than serving and protecting.
So here's my co-anchor, Bill Weir.
Bill Williams.
It's the kind of scene that could play out on any given day in any city in America.
Men in blue stopping young men of color as tensions rise.
In this case, a robbery suspect is caught.
The others released, and the cops managed to keep it by the book.
I understand you're upset, but I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
But this scene is just pretend.
It is an NYPD training drill to reinforce a proper way to do what is known as a 250.
That controversial tactic designed to stop crime before it happens.
Controversial.
Because critics say 250s rarely happen with this much courtesy and this much probable cause.
Before it's a crime, it's pre-crime.
So the story goes on for about ten minutes, and it's about the stop-and-frisk policy of the New York City police, which, of course, is profiling.
It is arguably unconstitutional, and it's a real pain in the ass, because today it's black men between 14 and 21, and tomorrow it's going to be you.
This is how it usually goes in police states, whatever yous are.
So they bring out a councilman for one of the boroughs in New York, and he says something really interesting that just tells me it's all over.
New York City Councilman Jumaane Williams is a mentor of Kasim's and a leading critic of the NYPD's methods, like police reports.
Which show that the reason given for most stops is either a high-crime neighborhood or a suspect engaged in furtive movement.
And I have Tourette's Syndrome, so all I do is make furtive movements.
So, you know, that means I can be stopped every time I come out of my house.
There you go.
Furtive movements, John.
And he, our friend, our councilman from New York, has Tourette's Syndrome.
And so, like me, he has furtive movements all the time.
And this can get you arrested in New York City.
Now, so I'm looking up, what can you do about Tourette's?
Because clearly I have to be medicated.
And I find the DSM-4...
Before you go, you can go right back to that.
I've got to read the definition of furtive.
Thank you.
Adjective, attempting to avoid notice or attention, typically because of guilt.
Yeah.
Or a belief that discovery would lead to trouble.
That's right.
That's my secretive.
Suggested of guilty nervousness.
So if I'm, like, twitching my head going, fuck Jarvis, fuck Jarvis, you should be arresting me!
Tourette's syndrome, TS, or Tourette's disorder, is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by a changing pattern of motor and vocal tics that begin in childhood.
And mine did, by the way, when I was six or seven.
Many individuals with Tourette's syndrome have associated non-tic symptoms such as hyperactivity, distractibility, impulsivity, obsessions and compulsions, anxiety, depression, and anger control.
These associated symptoms may occur in patterns of frequently or intensity characteristic of an additional coexisting disorder, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, or oppositional defiant disorder.
There it is.
Whether these problems aren't integral...
That would be you.
That would be me.
Medication.
And this is the one that freaked me out.
I had no idea.
So when symptoms are mild, treatment may include only support, education, and monitoring.
I think I need some monitoring.
For symptoms that produce significant distress or inpatient, medication treatment may be indicated.
Currently, there are a variety of medications available for the treatment.
I'll bet there are.
By the way, hell with doing research on new antibiotics.
This is where the money is.
Here it is.
Clonidine.
*sad music* Do you know what Clonidine is?
No.
You're going to tell me.
The brand name is Catapress.
C-A-T-A-P-R-E-S. Or Guanfacine.
For that I can get 10X. But the best...
Is Risperdal or traditional such as Haldol.
Oh, you're kidding.
No!
You can't take Haldol.
That's not for anybody.
My tongue gets all twisted and it'll stop my head twitching.
Risperdal is for schizophrenics.
Yeah, that's what I should...
Treats schizophrenia and certain problems caused by bipolar.
In other words, it just knocks you on your butt.
Yeah.
It doesn't do anything except knocks you out.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're not going to do it.
People searching for Risperdal also search for Zyprexa, Sirocco, Abilify, Caldol, and Closaril.
Abilify is just hamburger helper, right?
That just makes it all...
It's like an amplifier.
It's like an amplifier.
No, you add it to everything.
Respiradol may treat schizophrenia, bipolar, dementia, autism, and Tourette's syndrome.
Exactly.
Take care of this guy.
Someone in the chat room said, I should be diagnosed with a real doll is what I should be given.
I agree.
I think, screw hell doll, real doll, real doll.
Send me one of those.
People are in that chat room.
I own one.
I have three real dolls.
I've collected all three.
You're a hoarder.
Do you have ginger?
Do you also have Tommy?
I haven't been to that site for a long time.
I'm curious because I know the last time I was there a couple years ago.
It's highly entertaining.
Real doll.
I've always thought it would be a real doll, the world's finest love doll.
I've always thought, since these dolls are so realistic, they're also pretty expensive.
Yeah, like $5,000, aren't they?
Six now.
But in terms of the carpool...
There's no way you couldn't put two of these dolls inside your car and it would look like two women.
The problem is they're so good looking for mannequins that you would...
I think the best bet is to go to one of the Macy's or some department store that closes, grab a couple mannequin heads, and then stick them on some...
Make your own damn doll.
Put the head on there and put it in the car and then go through the carpool lane.
So I'm looking at the website and there's this...
My God, the worst part is that you actually kind of get aroused just by looking at it.
Oh, they got male dolls now.
He's 5'9".
Holy crap!
Michael, Nick, and Nate.
Michael, Nick, Nick.
Wow!
He's 5'9"?
Hey, the new body C is available now on Spring Special.
$500 off all real dolls.
Big news, the e-time doll is now estimated at 8 weeks.
For any real doll, real doll 2, male or female or wicked real doll.
I think we should make real dolls of us.
And how disgusting that would look.
Now with micropenis!
Okay.
All right.
Hey, just make yourself.
Yeah.
So, um...
But of course...
In bondage.
The bondage one is...
So this flows...
5'10", 90 pounds.
34th, 24th, 34.
A cup...
Stop, stop.
Stop already.
So this flows nicely into this article in the New York Times, which appeared, I think, Saturday.
Suicide rates rise sharply in the U.S. And it was very interesting.
So suicide rates are up!
And this whole Times article really misses two important points.
You know, because it's like, oh, well, you know, could be a number of things.
Middle-aged men seem to be killing themselves.
Who cares, by the way?
If middle-aged women, if more middle-aged women were killing themselves, oh!
You wouldn't hear the end of it.
But as middle-aged dudes, who cares?
Screw them.
Hillary's going to be the next president anyway.
We don't need these guys.
But the comments on this article, it's heartbreaking.
Because it truly is...
So the article is bullcrap.
But then you read the comments, and people are like, yeah, well, because we're broke?
We have huge debt.
We can't see the end.
And we just freak out, and then we shoot ourselves, which is the prime way, by the way.
A lot of people...
Hanging still seems to be pretty popular in the suicide arena, which I don't understand.
That makes no sense to me.
And then the other two that are in the comments but not in the article, really, is, well, how about all this Hal doll, Risper doll, real doll that were being prescribed?
No wonder people are killing themselves.
And the third, of course, is, you know...
No, this is actually correct.
There's no way you can take these sorts of drugs that screw up your brain so much and never fully recover.
Especially if you're on a long-term regimen.
You're just going to kill yourself.
Yeah, eventually.
And, of course, we have veterans coming home.
Coming home and they're messed up.
Because, you know...
I'm not going to be started on that.
It's going to be a real problem for the next decades.
Decades.
These veterans, they need to talk, man.
They need love.
They really do.
Didn't we do this already?
Didn't this happen with Vietnam?
Yeah, with a bunch of homeless Vietnam vets crawling the streets yakking to themselves.
You know, I talk to, there's a guy on the South Congress, and sometimes he's in his fatigues with a flag.
I talk to these people, because that's all they really want.
They need to tell their story, you know?
So I want to interrupt right here, and I want to mention that last show we had a, we read net instead of gross.
In other words, what people gave us, we read the amount that we ended up getting from PayPal, which is somewhat less.
And I want to, we did correct it on the show notes where you have our executive, associate executive producers listed.
And I want to just mention who they are.
Kathy Beauchamp.
Beauchamp.
John White is the associate executive.
We have a couple of executives.
Melody Mann and Sir Doug came in at 333.
And Thomas Badrich was a member of the 509 Club, and he was credited if you go to the show.
If you can get on the site to see the show.
If Google will allow you to see.
If Google will let you go on to the NoAgendaShow.com, which is a Squarespace blog, if they will allow you to go to that blog, if you get in their good graces, maybe they will.
Maybe you should send them a love letter.
So it's Donate.Curry.com along with Dvorak.org slash NA. Just ignore the guy in the prison suit hacking your computer.
By the way, this was just staying on the pharmaceutical topic and illness topic.
Did you ever see that movie?
Was it Gattaca?
Was that the name of the movie?
Where it was a really new agey black and white movie?
Yeah, it was a crazy movie.
Gattaca is crazy.
Crazy movie, but people are called Invalids.
Invalid.
And then, you know, you're basically thrown in the...
I think they throw them in the oven or something?
Well, anyway, you're in...
So not an invalid, but an invalid.
I forgot.
Invalid.
So that's what I am, totally.
And so is the...
Well, this is one of my...
He has a different type of externally visible disease in the UK. The story here is pretty funny that I got from the BBC....verbal abuse and feel isolated in public.
Mark had an extreme case of his illness being misunderstood.
This is a guy who had Parkinson's disease.
...the Olympics last year.
It happened as he was about to watch the cycling road race.
I sat on the wall and minded my own business.
And as the cycle race approached, I was grabbed by two police officers.
And one of the officers said words to the effect of, you're not going to ruin anybody's day-to-day sunshine.
I'm arresting you on suspicion of, I think the thing was, the charge was about to cause a public offence or public affray or public disorder act or something like that.
Because, and this is the best bit, I've been watching you, you haven't been smiling.
And I sort of went, I've got Parkinson's.
And you've been fidgeting a lot.
That's because I have Parkinson's.
Then of course I started shaking and the guy goes, it's right mate, it's the nose kicking in.
And I'm going, I've got Parkinson's!
You're not listening to me.
Mark was held for several hours before being released without charge.
And the poor guy's shaking.
It's like, and you're not smiling, slave!
Yeah, no, I'm glad you got this clip because this happened a couple weeks ago.
Yeah.
And I was aware of it.
And it is the same as the guy wasn't smiling.
Yeah.
So in other words, this was at the...
At the Boston thing, the guy said, oh, this guy wasn't smiling.
So now we're required to...
We go to some piece of crap of bicycle race or whatever it is.
And it's blocking the streets.
And, you know, you've got to stay on the sidewalk.
You can't cross because...
So you can't cross the street to go to the other side.
Maybe that's all you want to do.
Smile, slave!
And you're not smiling.
Now this is a crime.
Stay on your side of the street and smile.
Smile!
Wait a minute.
That is 54 minutes.
Let me just write that down.
Stay on your side of the street and smile, slave!
You know that one of our producers came up to me here in Austin.
I'm not going to say who it was.
And he said, you know, two or three weeks ago, when we were talking like this, he said, you made me cry.
The dude said, you made me cry.
I was listening to the show and you made me cry because I thought, oh, this is like, it's hopeless.
That's where you're supposed to be smiling.
Because it's so hopeless, that's what makes it so great.
That's what makes it a great time to be alive.
Well, it is pretty funny if you have a sense of humor.
Well, because the people who listen to this...
And if the cops aren't beating your head in with a club...
Well, there's that.
But it's a great time to be alive and not one of the zombies.
It's when you go to see a zombie movie.
So if you saw Zombieland, for instance, or if you watch The Walking Dead on TMC or TNT, whatever it is, you watch that as a non-zombie.
And so it's fun, right?
And you're like, oh man, here they come.
I know what to do with that.
I'll shoot you two to the head.
So this is the metaphor for the life you're living now because you are awake and you can look around you and you can know that there are tens, maybe hundreds of other people who listen to this show.
Why, there's tens of hundreds of people listening to this show who are like you and awake and know what's going on.
And you know, you can actually find each other.
There are more of you in the same state, sometimes in the same town.
Yeah, we have what's called a reach.
Yeah, reach around maybe.
So there's a study that's out, and this is a great study.
And it's freaking people out, and I'm seeing it everywhere.
And of course, the funniest is when you have that pierced moron talking about it.
So the study from some universities says that 29% of all Americans, so not just crazy Republican rednecks, Or the actual, you know, people who have guns, which is African Americans, according to the survey says, who have 54% of all guns, legally owned.
But no, so 29% of all Americans fully expect an armed revolution will be necessary in the coming years in the United States.
And this is freaking people out.
There's a poll that's just come out.
This is a Fairleigh Dickinson University poll.
It said that 29% of Americans agree with this statement.
In the next few years, an armed revolution might be necessary in order to protect our liberties.
Additional 5% were unsure about that.
So a third of Americans genuinely believe they need to be armed to possibly rise up against some form of tyranny.
Why?
Because that is the fundamental basis of American freedom.
That has always been the fundamental basis.
Where would the tyranny come from?
The tyranny would come from the government.
Barack Obama's government?
No, not Barack Obama's government.
I don't believe that Barack Obama is a tyrannical leader.
So whose government?
Well, I couldn't name you a name, but it's not a matter of who is in charge.
It's a question of what the government does.
Would you personally believe, like a third of these people, that you will need in the next few years, it says, you will need to have weapons to take on your own government?
I don't believe in the next few years.
I believe that there is always the possibility of government tyranny.
I don't see that happening in the next couple of years.
I do think, Pierce, I have to say, I think the reason that there are so many folks who are talking about the possibility of government tyranny is threefold, really.
It's the Obama administration's increasing reliance on big government, and that, I think, threatens some people.
I think that it is folks like Alex Jones.
Who do this routine where every time they shut down a city like Boston because of a terrorist attack, it's the end of the world and military laws at hand.
And honestly, I think part of it is due to folks like you, Piers, because, you know, you go out of your way to really give the impression that you're interested in taking away people's fundamental right to bear arms, and I think that scares a lot of folks.
Well, no, I'm not.
We've discussed this.
I'm not remotely against people having the right to bear arms.
I'm seriously against the right to have military-style assault weapons to blow kids' brains to pieces in school.
By the way, that's how they're marketed, I think.
And of course, we always have to remind our listeners that the gun that was used to kill the kids at the school in Newtown was not an AR-15.
It was a pistol.
It was a couple of pistols.
Oh, but wait.
He does touch on that.
I still don't understand your position on this because you've said you're against assault weapons, but you are okay with handguns.
Handguns kill 6,000 people a year.
Assault weapons kill 300.
Well, they're both a big problem.
Handguns in Chicago and assault weapons with mass shootings.
You're from the UK. Why don't we just go with a full gun ban?
Well, listen.
We've discussed this.
The UK has 40, 50 gun murders a year.
America has 12,000.
Why don't we try our way?
Let's move on to this.
I'm glad you finally got your agenda out there.
I don't have an agenda.
I just want to make America safe and save lives.
No!
He wants to make America safe and save your life.
But I find that to be a very interesting statistic, that 29%.
Yeah, it doesn't surprise me.
I want to give you a little history here.
Wait, before you give me the history, which I'm very interested in, I just want to give you one more data point.
At the dinner we had, because I forgot to mention this, the dinner...
Oh, right.
You had another dinner.
Well, no, not this dinner.
Oh, well, I'll get to that dinner.
Ugh.
I feel bad.
Nah, it's okay.
No, the other dinner, remember when Mickey brought up her gun?
Yeah.
And, you know, and I said, oh, I've got an AR-15 upstairs with, you know, with a military-style assault weapon with a large, high-capacity magazine.
Right, but this is what gets interesting, which shows the weakness of people who are like, oh, I'm against guns, we've got to get rid of the guns.
The first thing they always say, and I've heard this many times, is, well, I know where to come when this shit hits the fan.
And I thought, that's so interesting.
What?
Yeah, and try it yourself.
When you're with someone who is staunchly against guns, and, you know, is really on board with the whole, let's get rid of all the guns, and you say, you know, well, I happen to have an armory, and I'm quite prepared for anything that might happen, nine times out of ten, that very same person will say, well, at least I know where to go when this shit hits the fan.
Interesting.
It makes sense.
It makes sense.
Yeah, and I'll know what target I have to hit.
As they're coming up the...
As you're coming up my driveway.
I find that to be very hypocritical, but yet very interesting.
Yeah, well, see, this is the thing I had.
We've said this before.
I talk about this.
This is one of my theses, which is people with contradictory information in their brains, I think, is an unhealthy thing.
Yes.
This is like people who are, you know, they're pro-abortion and they're anti-death penalty.
This is the classic liberal versus conservative.
Yeah, right.
It makes no sense.
No guns, but let's kill those Boston bombers.
Off with their heads.
Yes, so this kind of contradiction in the brain, I think, causes all kinds of weird problems.
And the conservative one, of course, is, you know, right to life and let's kill everyone that's in jail.
I mean, it's like life is precious, so let's kill criminals.
I mean, it just makes zero sense.
But both these groups are that way.
But anyway, back to the 30s, which was our last...
Really big depression.
We had some issues in the 70s, obviously.
It was similar to what we're going through now.
My father used to tell me about this.
He's a depression guy.
People are old enough to have people that went through the original depression in the 30s.
Not the original.
There was one in 1857.
I can go on.
They'll tell you this.
The government was about to collapse.
I mean, there was talk of a revolution, and it was not that far off.
And they tried to, actually, the Democrats had tried to get Roosevelt, we've talked about this before, a butler, General Butler was supposed to become the next.
Smedley, Smedley Butler, right?
And they were just one inch away, and nobody ever filed charges against these people for treason, but...
They're in Congress and the Senate.
Anyway, my father said there was all kinds of socialists that were going to take over the country.
Fascism was thought fondly of, could have taken over the country.
They were going to try to oust Roosevelt.
He believed that during the Depression there were moments where the government could have been over...
We're thrown completely.
And so this kind of thing happens when there's no jobs.
Right.
And nobody seems to care about that.
And then again, by my own thesis, this is a cycle, so there's nothing they can do about it.
But that's another story.
Right.
But it's interesting you bring up Smedley Butler, because he is the guy that would not be...
I don't know if I was reading an article or how this came about, but you identified that the president said, you know, oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, Michelle actually did consider, why don't we just let Adelson buy me out for $100 million and I'll go away.
Right?
Yes.
But that is kind of a throwback to the days of Smedley Butler when there was a real plot for a coup to take over the United States, and he essentially thwarted that.
But I think it kind of happened.
I mean, if you really look at the military-industrial complex, all the jobs, really, in civil society are military jobs.
You may be making a transistor or a tube, but believe me, at the end of the day, most of that stuff is going towards the military.
And I think maybe there's just a whole other thing running the nation.
Well, we do have the thought, one thought, which I'm a subscriber to, is that we became a security state under the Truman administration once they put in the CIA and they ratcheted up the secret police and all kinds of things like that, even though they never called secret police.
And...
And then we had, you know, that wasn't hurt by Hoover, who stayed in office until he died.
And then, of course, there's a story, which is when Hoover's dying, apparently they shredded half of the FBI headquarters.
So there's a lot of information that we'll never have access to.
But you know what, here's the weird thing, though, is I take this process, and actually, here's what the president said the other day when he did his press conference.
Jonathan Karls.
Mr.
President, you are a hundred days into your second term.
On the gun bill, you put, it seems, everything into it to try to get it passed.
Obviously, it didn't.
Congress has ignored your efforts to try to get them to undo these sequester cuts.
There was even a bill that you threatened to veto that got 92 Democrats in the House voting yes.
So, my question to you is, do you still have the juice to get the rest of your agenda through this Congress?
Well, if you put it that way, John, then...
Maybe I should just pack up and go home.
Golly.
Golly.
So that's more of the, just give me $100 million and I'll go away.
And here's the thing that hurts my brain.
When I think about the police state and Google is running the interwebs, the Rand Corporation, but really Lockheed Martin, Boeing, GE, they're really running the show.
What's weird is that I start to think, well, maybe...
Maybe Barack Obama's really trying to help us here.
Maybe he's really trying to get us out of a mess.
And that he's now kind of signaling, like, you know what?
Screw it.
I can't do it either.
I tried it this way.
You know, blow me.
I'm out.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, it could be.
I mean, I think he's...
Well, I mean, we have to...
If we're going to think that way, we have to consider the fact that that article that was written to slam him about giggling over the kill list may be bullcrap.
Of course.
Of course it could be.
We can't trust the media.
No, and so...
Oh yeah, he's got the kill list and he goes over it every day and it's like an arcade game to him.
He likes to watch the guys get blown to smithereens.
Could be bull.
We don't know.
He's never denied it.
Well, then of course, you know.
Well, he does have the kill list.
No, but there's this.
I have two words for you.
Predator drones.
Yeah.
I said that a little too casually.
I agree.
And that was written for him, of course.
It's all written.
But still, that was a little like, really?
Really?
So if Obama was in Mexico?
Yeah, clearly there's a problem.
Breaker, Breaker, 1-9.
So, he's down in Mexico giving this speech, you know, promoting...
But every time I've said anything, I keep thinking, Eric Holder.
Eric Holder.
We've got to stop guns going across the border.
Go arrest Eric Holder.
Do I play your clip now?
Yeah, go ahead.
And in the United States, we recognize our responsibilities.
We understand that much of the root cause of violence that's been happening here in Mexico...
For which so many Mexicans have suffered is the demand for illegal drugs in the United States.
And so we've got to continue to make progress on that front.
I've been asked, and I honestly do not believe that legalizing drugs is the answer, but I do believe that a comprehensive approach, not just law enforcement, but education and prevention and treatment, that's what we have to do.
And we're going to have to stay at it because the lives of our children and the future of our nations depend on it.
And we also recognize that most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States.
This, by the way, it sounded like an applause track on a lot of the speech that he did.
And I was trying to see if the people were really applauding.
And you'll hear him stumble even, like...
I'll roll it back just a little bit.
You'll hear him stumble like, hey guys, turn on the applause track.
And I mean, could these people actually understand what he was talking about, these kids?
There's a bunch of kids, they didn't understand, right?
So either there's a producer there clapping his script to get people going, or there is an applause track, and it sounded like it to me.
I think many of you know that in America our Constitution guarantees our individual right to bear arms.
And as president, I swore an oath to uphold that right, and I always will.
But at the same time, as I've said in the United States, I will continue to do everything in my power to pass common sense reforms that keep guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people that can save lives here in Mexico and back home in the United I will continue to do everything in my power to pass guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people that can save lives here in Mexico and back home in the United States.
It's the right thing to do.
See, it sounded a little bit like someone opened up the fader on that one.
And I looked at it a couple times and there's no other camera angle.
Yeah, you're right.
It does.
It sounded like there was somebody...
Either the audience was mic'd and they kept turning it up and down to sweeten it, or they sweetened it.
It felt a little sweetened.
And it's funny because I have the same clip.
Because they never show the audience.
No.
I had the same clip, and I also was like, this holder guy has to be stopped.
Holder's out of control!
So he mentions at the beginning there, I don't think legalizing is the answer.
Now, the new president of Mexico...
He's made some changes, and it's my belief, of course, we know that the world really runs on three things, and we call it God, but it's gold, oil, and drugs.
And, of course, everything in Afghanistan is, you know, all the drone warfare is just to cover up our, you know, $100 billion a month, you know, drug business that the United States is running with other countries who are complicit.
But, of course, Mexico is extremely important for our drug trade.
It keeps our financial system running because all of the drug money gets to – and I'm not making this up.
You know, HSBC was laundering hundreds of billions of dollars.
And they got a slap on the wrist.
And they got a slap on the wrist for it.
I mean, this is not some pretend thing I'm saying here.
And, by the way, for people who want a reminder on how the whole thing works and how bad it can get, even though I can't imagine getting worse than it is, get the documentary Cocaine Cowboys.
Oh, yes.
Cocaine Cowboys.
And all you find out, the whole thing was banks.
Banks, banks, banks.
And BCCI, which was the CIA bank for the Iran-Contra, where they were trading guns for drugs.
I mean, it's crazy what was going on.
But here's a little piece that I picked up, which gave me some additional information, that tells me that our drug lord-in-chief, which is the president of the United States, and if it's not President Obama, it's Bush before him, and Clinton before him, and Bush before him, and it'll be Clinton next when Hillary's president.
I mean, we run on drugs.
Legal or otherwise.
And we seem to have some sort of royalty that we keep re-electing.
Yes, we have royalty that we keep re-electing, who are drug lord royalty.
And check this out.
And Unieto has also moved to take more control of his country's fight against the drug cartels.
On Monday, his government confirmed that all security decisions would now run through the Interior Ministry, ending years of widespread direct access by U.S. agencies, like the CIA, to their Mexican equivalents.
So, here's what happened.
This is why all of a sudden, it's like, red alert, red alert, hello.
Wait a minute.
You can just see John Brennan.
Wait, you think Obama's down in Mexico because of what you're going to explain?
Yes, absolutely!
Why all of a sudden, amidst all that's going on in the United States, amidst fundraising for the 2004, that's his main mission now, is being on the road, fundraising for 2014 so the Democrats can capture everything.
That's a big mission.
We know the war on ammo, the war on crazy, the war on guns is all about getting women to vote Democrat for the rest of their lives, never even being able to speak the word Republican or any other party, independent, libertarian, whatever.
And he all of a sudden has to rush down to Mexico because last week, apparently, the new president there said, OK, listen, I'm taking charge.
I'm a little sick and tired of the CIA running the whole show with you guys here.
Now it's running through my office.
So I can see Brennan coming up.
Brennan, of course, the new, now in charge of running drugs, which is what the CIA says.
Portions, I can't condemn all of the CIA, but historically, CIA has run drugs for different reasons.
Brennan comes to the Oval Office.
By the way, he doesn't need to knock.
The door blows the door open.
It's like Mueller over there at Facebook.
Yeah, Mueller, that's right, FBI director.
He's like, hey, just popping my head in there, Zuck.
And it's like, hey, listen, get on your damn jet, get down to Mexico, and you tell that wetback down there that that's not how it's going to roll, okay?
Because that's how they talk.
Believe me, this is how they talk.
You ever seen the West Wing?
That's not how they talk.
This is how they talk.
I know.
I know.
And it's really like that.
And it's like, and there's Valerie Jarrett, like, now it's very important we keep the CIA incredibly.
We've got to keep them close, you know.
I'll come with you.
And, you know, of course, Michelle's happy.
Like, get the hell out, Barry.
And he gets on the jet.
He flies down there.
He's like, dude, listen, dude, no ixnay on the legalization, eh?
This is not what's going to happen, man.
We can't...
Because, of course, Mexico doesn't need us.
Their economy's growing 3%, 4%.
People are...
There's no...
Mexicans aren't coming to America.
Like, screw that place.
You're the new Mexico.
We're staying here.
Mexico is growing.
They've got oil.
They've got gas.
Mexico is fantastic.
They've got a little problem with killing people, but I'm sure that most of that can be related back to the holder.
All of that stuff.
And the drug trade is out of control.
So now that Mexico doesn't have to be peddling drugs and humans, now that they've got this...
How big is this oil and gas they've found now in Mexico, John?
This is big, right?
Yeah, they've got enough to get by.
They're one of our main suppliers, them in Canada, which makes the whole foreign oil thing kind of awkward.
Right, so I think that's also, because the fracking thing is going to turn out to be pretty hoaxy, it's not really going to pan out that well for us.
It sounds great and everything, but we still really need oil, and it's going to come from Canada.
And we have three pipelines, by the way.
The Excel pipeline is nothing new.
And it's going to come from Mexico.
And I think that the Mexicans are going, yeah, you know...
I think we're going to do it on our terms, and we may consider legalizing it here, and we'll sell our whatever we have left.
You know, everyone here in Mexico can just legally make the dope.
It'll reduce our crime.
In fact, we'll just have the drug lords, they'll become the oil barons.
You know what?
Go and pound sand, America.
I think that's what's happening.
And Barack went down there to say, dude, we got a good thing going here, brother.
What you doing, man?
The guy's going to be assassinated by the banks.
Yeah, yeah.
Yes, the banks suffer during that.
I mean, this is all a banker's dream come true.
It is free money.
Mr.
Obama was asked about the decision during a press conference the next day.
I'm not going to yet judge.
How this will alter the relationship between the United States and Mexico until I've heard directly from them to see what exactly are they trying to accomplish.
Now, what did that sound like to you?
What do you think you're trying to accomplish?
Sounds like a CEO in trouble.
Sounds like a CEO whose icon just showed up at his door.
I'm going to screw with your company.
Right?
Yeah, it does.
I don't know what they're trying to do.
Borderline clip of the day, because it's just so outrageous.
It's kind of scary, but this is the way I see it.
But seriously, it was like I was watching a reality show, man.
I'm like, oh my God, he's literally just saying that we run all the guns, the drug problem, we've done the drug problem, and now this guy's changing the rules, and I better go down there and fix it.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden...
Oh my God.
Oh, do I love this guy.
Did you hear his thing about rape?
No, no.
Oh, no.
So he's talking about the stigma of women being raped and not wanting to go to the police because it's embarrassing.
And Joe Biden, the vice president of the USA... I'm speechless.
Listen to this.
When I talk about it, you'll often hear men say, why don't they just leave?
Why don't you just leave?
Why are they, you know...
And I ask them, how many of you have seen the movie Deliverance?
And every man will raise his hand.
And I'll say, what's the one scene you remember in Deliverance?
And every man here knows exactly the scene they think of.
And I say, after those guys tied that one guy to the tree and raped him, Man raped him in that film.
Why didn't a guy go to the sheriff?
I love this.
Man raped him.
Why don't you just say buttfucked him, Joe?
Come on.
We don't understand the story.
They man raped him.
What would you have done?
I'd go home and get my gun.
I'd come back and find him.
Why would you go to the sheriff?
Why?
Why?
The reason why is they're ashamed, embarrassed.
I said, why do you think women will get raped so many don't report it?
They don't want to get raped again by the system.
They want to be put through what they have to be put through.
Now, I think he wasn't drunk in this case.
No, no, he sounds sober as a judge.
But I think he was sent out because the president had to rush down to Mexico to save the drug money trade.
So I think Joe got pulled in.
And here's probably how Joe's like, don't worry about it, I got it covered.
I got a great speech about the middle class.
I know how to do this.
We know that when the middle class does well, everyone does well.
The wealthy get wealthier, and the poor have a way up.
Well, when the middle class is not growing, the poor are damned and the middle class are stuck.
Ladies and gentlemen, you saw what happened to the policies we had to put up with for so many years before.
You watched the middle class shrink, people having trouble.
Trouble they never had before.
He's like about to bring you a blues song or something.
People having trouble.
Trouble they never had before.
But now he's going to define the middle class.
And we've had this exact conversation.
What is the middle class?
Economists, and I got a whole bunch of them.
They'll talk to you about the middle class in terms of a dollar number.
They'll say, well, middle class is $49,490 or $52,600.
Middle class isn't a number.
It's a value set.
It's a way of life.
That's my favorite.
Way of life?
It's a way of life!
Hold on a second.
We actually know what that way of life is, Joe.
That's a special...
You slaves can get used to mac and cheese.
Mac and cheese.
Mac and cheese.
Shatter, melt together Mac and cheese, mac and cheese Live in the mac and cheese life Mac and cheese It would make the people in Delaware not a single bit different than the people in South Carolina It's about being able to own your own home, not just rent it.
Oh, well, then I'm clearly below middle class.
I can't own my own home, Joe.
It's about being able to send your kid to a good school or neighborhood where it's safe.
It's about being able to send your kid, if they do well enough to school, to college.
Do you know anybody, anybody, rich or poor, doesn't have the dream that their child someday will be able to go to college?
I've not found any distinction anywhere in the world, anywhere in this country.
It's about...
Knowing you can do that, it's about being able to take care of your parents when they get old and hope that you put an A enough that you won't have to have your children take care of you.
Are you writing this down?
Yeah.
I want to make sure we can play this back as the definition of the middle class.
Where I come from.
In Scranton, in Wilmington, Delaware.
Oh.
But it's no different here.
That's what being middle class means.
It's being able to care for your family.
Oh.
It's being able.
It's being able to hold your head high.
And all of a sudden, all of a sudden, since the last election, here are Republican fans talking about how much they value the middle class.
Okay, yeah, Joe, thanks.
Hey, Joe, we're not going to send you out next time because you're babbling.
So I'm noticing by looking at the ShadowStats numbers that we had 165,000 additional people, which is only 15 over the minimum, or the replacement number, unemployed.
It's still going in opposite directions.
ShadowStats' real number is going up, and the government numbers are going down.
Yeah, and of course, our national treasure, and Miss Mickey is my canary in the coal mine now, because she's in the car a lot.
She drives around.
She's a busybody, and she's got NPR. A busybody doesn't mean what you just said.
Oh, well, no.
Correct.
Correct.
I didn't mean that.
But she's busy.
She's not like me.
She's a busy person.
She's busy.
Yeah, she's got stuff to do.
You know, she's like...
People to see.
Wheeling and dealing, babies to kiss, flesh to press.
She's doing stuff.
And so she listened to NPR. And she brings me a report, which is great, because then I can spend more time doing Morse code.
And she brings me a report, and she says, you know, it's like, it's unbelievable.
And?
Yeah, I forgot what I was going to talk about.
Oh, jeez.
Vicky's out floating around.
We're talking about the mail cash.
I got it.
It's about the 7.5% number.
Oh, yeah.
That's bull crap.
Yeah.
And she knows it, too.
This is bullshit.
I mean, Austin is actually below that.
I mean, we're well below.
I think real numbers, Austin, probably real numbers is 7.5% unemployment.
We claim 5%.
So it probably is closer to seven and a half in real numbers.
And it's great here, but wow!
Come on!
And no one questions this.
Yeah, okay.
And I even heard, because of course I go back and I listen to the reports.
It's like, you know, unlike the last time where more people dropped out, which when that happened, they weren't saying that, by the way.
You know, more people just became bums.
So, you know, it's book cooking.
Now, there's something to be said for that, because when you cook the books, when you have positive sentiment, when people feel better, you can create a positive energy.
Which is a good thing.
Yeah, and things can move forward.
It can happen.
But I think that theory, you know, I think they've been trying this for a while and it's really not working.
So is this like a Hail Mary?
It's like, I know what.
Just make it seven and a half.
Screw it.
Just lie.
Try that.
See if that works.
Yeah.
Wow.
Fabuloso.
Meanwhile, the president has lots of problems.
On Wednesday, and of course you and I will be watching, we have another Benghazi hearing.
And the new whistleblowers have been named.
I think we have like four witnesses who will be speaking and testifying about what really happened.
I'm not expecting a lot of fireworks, by the way.
I'm expecting this to be covering up the true story.
I'm expecting this to be inside job on the Republican side.
That thing is going to be a huge distraction and we're not going to get any real story.
What do you think?
It wouldn't surprise me.
Because I don't think ISA is really...
No.
I don't trust any of those guys.
Any of them.
No.
They're all sketchy.
It's amazing.
What a bet.
Sketchy.
Yeah, they're sketchy.
It's amazing how these guys are in office.
No, it's not amazing.
It's very understandable.
Just look at the citizenry around you.
We're sad, man.
We're just sad, sad people.
Sad.
So we had another dinner party.
Yes, let's talk about that for me.
Now, this was only one couple, Rick and Karen.
And they're very interesting.
He is a pharmaceutical guy.
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
And I have to say that he's the guy, actually.
I think he was the one that he said to me once, I could never have a Republican at my dinner table.
Oh, one of those guys.
Well, of course, he's rich.
You know, he's a rich Democrat.
All the Democrats are rich.
His wife, interestingly enough, she is...
I think she was born and raised in Austin.
If not, maybe she was born in San Antonio, but she's been in Austin all of her life.
Stunningly beautiful, I might not.
Just total babe.
But, you know, so...
She's a Texas girl.
It's underneath there.
And so it's funny when you can kind of bring that out and you can see her husband kind of go like...
And I know this is their second or third marriage.
But they're an interesting couple together.
So John and I discussed after the last show.
I was like, okay, what am I going to do?
He said, you're going to stay with the pot.
Stay with the Dutch oven.
And you're going to make a big dead chicken recipe.
Which I think is what we called it, right?
Big dead chicken?
Big dead chicken.
And so I followed the recipe meticulously, and a couple things went wrong.
First of all, the chicken vendor at the market wasn't there, so I had to resort to a chicken from Whole Foods.
I think this was problem number one.
Because no matter what they say, like, oh, this chicken was running around.
He was happy.
Look at the picture.
Bull crap.
This was no happy chicken.
I don't think it was a good chicken.
Even though it was the best I could get and it had to be a reasonably sized one.
It wasn't huge, but it was big enough.
But the idea was that it would be in the pot, and then it would become golden brown after an hour, hour and 15 minutes, and then it would be done.
So I timed it out.
They were going to be here at 7, so at 6.30 I put everything in the oven, and I'm like, okay, 7.30, 7.45, it'll be perfect, and we can eat, and I'll just do presto, and I'll be like, happy housewife, everything will be great.
And at, you know, like an hour and five minutes, I look at this chicken, it's like, it's white, it's pale, it's like an albino.
Yeah, you know, now that you mention it's a Whole Foods chicken?
Yeah.
Is that it?
I think what happened, instead of roasting the chicken in the broil, by the way, and I also told Adam, when you get one of these roasters, you've got to, not the chicken, but the pot.
You've got to learn your pot.
Learn your pot.
Learn your pot.
I believe that a lot of...
With a good chicken, you won't run into this so much.
But I think that they...
If the chicken was very moist like it was injected with water or if it was treated a certain way, what happens is it goes into the pot, the juices all come out as it's cooking and then they form on the bottom and then they boil and you end up with a kind of pale boiled chicken.
Yeah, yeah.
It's steamed.
It's steamed chicken like a Chinese guy might do.
It's steamed.
So you ended up with this steamed chicken because you had a lot of moisture left.
And I think this was part of the problem.
Well, if I can just briefly, because of course whenever John gives me the recipe, I write it down verbatim.
So you get a big chicken.
Now you're going to season that.
First you're going to wash this thing out.
You're going to wash it inside out.
You're going to wash that with lemon.
Lemon, okay?
Then you're going to dry it off.
Half an orange goes in that thing.
Half an orange in that chicken.
You're going to season this thing with salt and pepper.
Get some poultry seasoning.
Marjoram.
Slather that marjoram all over the place.
Now, you're going to put it in there with your carrots and celery all around.
Now, keep the top of the chicken clear.
Clear, okay?
Now, your onions, don't forget the onions.
Small dice and smash up a garlic.
Throw it in there.
The oven's going to be preheated to 450 degrees.
You put the pot in.
Turn it down to 375 of convection.
Check after an hour.
You might want to baste if it's too dry.
I'm like, too dry?
I called John up.
I'm in a panic.
He's swimming in water.
John, the thing is like a freaking albino!
And he's asking me all these technical questions.
I'm like, whatever!
And I hang up.
He calls me back.
By the way, I want to mention you said marjoram, not margarine, because I don't want to get a note for you.
Why are you using some horrible product you hate?
I said marjoram.
I know you did, but people hear what they want.
Because you said slathered.
You actually said slathered because I wrote it down.
Oh, well.
Yeah, but you knew what I was talking about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, go on.
So I called you and he said, well, take the pot off!
Put that thing on broil immediately!
And he called back.
That was the cool thing.
Here's what you do!
And he was giving me instructions like I'm defusing a bomb.
Anyway, so I was able to get it a little golden, but it took away 5% of the beauty of the taste, I have to say.
Because I should have done that earlier.
Because I didn't know my pot.
That is the moral of the story, know your pot.
And I did not know my pot.
And therefore, because once I broiled it for, and that was only a couple minutes, it really got, it was beautiful really quick.
And the taste was nice, but it had, you know, when you just get that like, oh crap, 5% too done.
Yeah, no, it's a real problem.
And you can see when people go, oh, this is great, and you don't hear anything, and they eat like 80% of the food on their plate.
You know that feeling?
Yeah, it happens.
Oh, crap.
No, the thing is, when you're cooking a lot...
And I cook every day, and it's like you nail some things, and some things you never get right.
Sometimes you throw out a perfect meal, and it's actually stunning when everything, and maybe you have four things going on.
They're just absolutely perfect.
Most of the time, there's always a clunker in there.
I'm like, ah, did I put two bits of lemon in this?
The clunker.
Got a funny flavor.
Yeah.
It's always some one thing.
It's like, ah, I could have done better.
You're not spending a lot of time.
I mean, most people should not be spending all day cooking.
Your cooking process should be an hour, max.
But here's the good news.
Here's the good news.
I have good news.
Elise Garling, you know our hot Alaska salmon fisher chick?
Oh, yeah.
She sent us two bottles of her homemade limoncello.
Oh, that's nice.
And I just got them high on that.
And anything that was wrong with the dinner, they don't remember after the Limoncello.
Man, that's...
Oh, my God.
And I'm not a Limoncello fan at all.
This is an ouch.
She sent two bottles and one was supposed to go to me?
She sent two bottles, yeah.
Was one for you?
I don't know.
You have to ask her.
Well, she might have to send another one.
Anyway, just about Rick briefly, because there was something interesting that came out of that conversation.
He's a pharma guy, and I have to say, I was kind of like, this guy, vaccines, whatever, I don't trust him.
He actually works on something called Orphaned Diseases.
And orphan diseases means that there's less than 250,000 people who suffer from this disease.
And, of course, a lot of it is kid stuff.
And he has, there's some degenerative version of autism, which I already might, I'm like, huh, okay.
But, you know, the kids, it really messes kids up.
And I don't know if autism is even the right classification.
Regardless, so he has funded autism.
They've researched and they've done the mouse test and the dead flying, drop dead mouse, whatever the technical term is.
And the mice love it.
So now it's time.
It cures the mice.
So he needs $25 million to get to the next step.
And I'm like, well, that must be easy.
The $25 million in the VC world is nothing.
He says, ugh.
It's easy to ask for $250 million.
And so he's having a hard time raising this money and it has to come from either VC or from big universities or big pharma companies.
And all of a sudden it dawned on me, I said, where's the Kickstarter for this stuff?
And he had no idea what I was talking about.
So it was interesting, explaining Kickstarter.
And he says, well, that's unethical.
I said, ethical?
Schmethical!
How is it unethical?
Well, apparently, the system is so rigged that if you don't get your money from big pharmaceutical from a university...
Or from VC, that would be seen as trying to raise money from the patients themselves.
Which, of course, it is exactly who want this medicine.
Because if you have 250,000 people and you need $25 million, that's $100.
Fuck, here's $200 if you can fix my kid.
He said, that's not done, and the FDA probably would just keep you in limbo for decades, because you're now going outside the system.
That makes nothing but sense.
Yeah, and I was like, wow!
And then, of course, this whole Google thing happened.
I'm like, screw it, I'm going to go do medical Kickstarter and just become a hack.
Let's make medicine.
They'd ruin you.
But it was interesting that that's not possible, whereas when you think about it, that will be the future.
There's no doubt about it.
The future, we can already print body parts, 3D printers.
I mean, all pharmaceuticals, the basis is alcohol and ammonia, and that's pretty much all drugs these days start with that.
How long before we don't need all of that?
You and I, of course, won't be around, but the idea is nice to think about.
And it dawned on me.
I was like, wow, we do Kickstarter.
I look at Leo, and he's all giddy about some watch that gets his text messages.
I'm like, really?
Look at all this dumb stuff.
We're spending money on Kickstarter when...
You know, relatively small amounts of money could actually fund interesting research that could help people.
Even if, you know, it's, I don't know, it's sketchy, I don't know about the autism thing, but I found it interesting that that is just an impossibility in today's world.
Currently.
And that was it.
And then they said, hey, your chicken sucks, and they left.
That was pretty much it.
Never to be heard from again.
You think that's true?
What?
You'll never hear from him again?
No, I think what'll happen is if I say, hey, you want to come over for dinner?
They'll go like, oh, gee.
Hey, have you seen that about the new restaurant that just opened?
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.
We have a few people that helped us out.
Seth Dubois in Midlothian, Virginia.
$150, no comment.
Blacklisted News, Round Rock, Texas.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Thanks for the great media assassination.
Blacklisted News.
69!
69!
And without further ado, we're already to the 6969 thing with Jonathan Diggle of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
He liked our deconstruction of Boston and Sandy Hook.
He would like a karma shot for himself and his girlfriend.
We'll give him one.
You've got karma.
Sir Glenn Riccio in Charlottesville, Virginia, 6969.
Kyle Corbin, he gave us some nice, was kind enough to mention the hack.
Kyle Corbin, Greer, South Carolina.
George Vanderhorst, Sir George to you in Cat's Hole, Holland.
Cat's Holeville.
Yeah, Cat's Holeville.
The hovel of cats.
He had a note.
Yeah, all the guy here is give me that BJ Karma.
That was his note, exactly.
He sent me a link.
A scientific study has proven that ingesting or regardless of through which orifice, male semen is actually healthy for women.
And of course, it's one of these studies that we support.
As fact and truth.
Fact!
Science!
Science!
It is science.
And so that's why he said more people need blowjobs because it's healthy for your partner.
Yep.
Fact!
Science!
Well, I'm glad we have people doing this kind of research for us.
Someone's got to do it.
It's a tough job.
And, well, by the way, his Dame Audrey...
What?
Ah, you're digging yourself into a hole.
Jason Mayerl.
Mayerl.
What do you think?
Mayerl!
He's from Wisconsin.
Mayerl!
In Wanaki, Wisconsin, as a matter of fact.
And he closes out our 69-69 asking for some karma.
69!
69, dude!
You've got karma.
Matt Milligan in Sparks, Nevada, 5609.
We'll give him some karma in a minute.
Hey, hey, hey, hold on a second.
We had no birthdays, yet I see here a birthday list.
Where's the birthday list?
Oh, happy birthday to Princess Alana.
So is Jesse doing this again?
It's hard to say because they're both out of the house.
Hey, don't you have a leash on these kids still?
Yeah.
Okay, so hold on.
It's Matt Milligan for daughter Alana.
Okay, keep going.
Christy Pitts in Puala, Washington.
You know what the worst thing is?
Is these kids are probably like, God, I'm so glad they got that Google hack.
We can be done with the damn spreadsheet in five minutes.
Let's get out of here.
Let's party.
Christy Pitts, Puala, first-time donor.
That's nice.
Anastasia Treckles in Valparaiso, Indiana, which is like, what?
Who named it?
You know, Indiana has my favorite town, one of my favorite towns in the country, which I've been to, actually.
Gnawbone.
It's Knobbone, Indiana.
Yeah, well, up where Mead Road, which is where the homestead is for the Curry family, we have Suckabone Road.
Suckabone.
The most stolen sign in the history of...
Yeah, that's the problem.
People just steal a sign.
Double lick us on the dime from Anastasia.
Jeffrey Gerlach in Alamo, local boys.
5150 gives all the time.
We'll give them some karma for that.
Absolutely.
You've got karma.
And then Daniel Frayer in El Paso, Texas wants a douchebag call out to the citizens of El Paso.
Douchebag!
There you go.
And look what he did.
He gave us $50 from skateboarding lessons he's been teaching.
Thank you, Daniel.
That's nice.
I highly appreciate it.
He probably can skateboard like a maniac.
It's great.
And Christopher Walker of Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Brett Farrell in Oklahoma City.
Raul Rabello.
Carvello.
Carvalho.
And it looks like Mexico.
And Matthew Janczewski in Chicago.
And Vytautis Sadowskas in Villainous, which is, I think, where is that?
Isn't that Vilnius?
Vilnius, yeah.
Austria, maybe.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Estonia?
Yes, it's either Estonia or one of those...
Oh, hey, look it up.
Yeah, well, I don't know.
I mean, like I got everything.
Consult the book of knowledge.
Vilnius.
Vilnius.
Did you name it?
Lithuania, the capital.
It's the capital of Lithuania.
Everyone should know Lithuania.
I feel dumb.
We should know this.
Lithuania, yes.
Anyway, he wants some karma, so do we have some other karmas backed up.
Let's give a final karma to everybody who donated.
Thank you very much.
You've got karma.
Of course, the people who donated actually took their computer safety into their own hands by clicking on advanced, and then I know the risks.
Let me proceed.
So, until this gets fixed, please consider going to donate.curry.com.
Let me see what you've done here on donate.curry.com.
Donate.
Check it out.
I think I did a pretty good job.
I did some actual work.
Donate.
Take my code and put it there.
That's what I did.
Oh, you did?
Jesus.
Oh.
Yeah, but then I had to...
But then you had to reroute the night and future night images.
That's what you did.
And I had to remove the word Dvorak in one place.
Not the email address, strangely enough.
So mail to whatever colon noagenda at Dvorak.org.
That was okay.
But there was a spot that just had the word Dvorak.org and I had to take that out.
Otherwise I kept getting that infected message.
Yeah, the whole thing is bogative.
It's total bogative.
And by the way, it also states that you have infected Twitter with this, by the way.
At some point, it's like, you've infected curry.com and twitter.com.
Good job.
Good work, John.
Infected Twitter.
I infected Twitter.
Okay, so this is a real problem.
These are lies.
These are lies, but it is a real problem, and this is going to hurt us because most people, you know, we've spent, and we should sue Google for this.
I'm telling you, I think we have a case here.
We have spent six years We're programming people with Dvorak.org slash NA. And this is not simple, because if you go on the street and say, spell Dvorak, it's not like we make our donations easy.
So we have programmed into your brain.
Little kids are growing up singing this song.
They know Let It Be from the Beatles and the Dvorak.org slash NA song.
And now Google is ruining this.
Ruining this.
With lies.
There is no infection.
And you have to think that at this point when they bring out the big guns like Jeff Jarvis and Matt Cutt, Cuddly Dudley, whatever his name is.
The Grand Gentleman.
The Grand Gentleman of Google to say, you know, oh well.
But meanwhile, everything's solved.
There is no hidden frames.
There's no malware.
There's no nothing.
You're still getting that page because you're blacklisted.
On Schmidt's list, you're blacklisted.
Okay?
And this is actually hurting our income.
We don't live on anything else.
John's got a couple of columns.
And by the way, let's see if PC Magazine publishes this column you're going to write about Google, okay?
No, they'll publish it.
Good luck with that.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
So here's how it ends up.
Gee, I learned something very interesting about how awesome Google is.
That would be funny.
Yeah?
I love Google.
However, I had a little snafu.
And it was my fault.
My fault.
I'm an a-hole.
I'm a total idiot.
I shouldn't have done any of that.
All right, well, we caught it just in the nick of time.
Happy we can say happy birthday to daughter Alana from Daddy Matt Milligan.
Happy birthday from your buddies at the No Agenda Show.
Happy birthday.
And then we do have two title changes, which are always nice.
No knights, of course, today, but Sir Joshua Dale now becomes a baronet, and Sir Glenn Riccio becomes a baronet of Albemarle County.
Am I saying that right?
I can't read.
I need to get new glasses.
Let me see.
Is it Alber?
I have to look out how to pronounce it.
A-L-B-E-M-A-R-L-E. Albermarle.
Does that sound right?
I don't know.
Baronet.
But I thought you couldn't have a county if you're a baronet.
A county's small.
You can have small areas.
A county's pretty small.
Oh, okay.
So, yeah.
You can have a state if you're a baron.
Uh-huh.
You're making this up, aren't you?
No, I'm the head of peers.
Whatever I say goes.
Well, that's right.
Exactly.
Exactly right.
You can say whatever you want.
So those of you who risked limb and life, life and limb, to actually click through to dvorak.org.
Thank you very much.
We'll stay on this and we'll see, you know, maybe because of this.
Are you on Twitter today?
Say yes.
No, I'm not.
I'm going down to L.A. You're going down to LA? Yeah, I'm going to LA. What are you doing in LA? I'm going to Adobe Max.
I'm going to try to learn some Adobe skills so I have something to fall back on.
Yeah, for real.
Are you leaving today?
Yeah.
Oh, that's interesting.
I lived there for two years.
You never showed up, thanks.
But for Adobe, oh.
For some free junket, I'm sure you'll go down.
Hey, I was on my way down there, and you say to me, we moved to Austin.
Yeah.
I was literally going to go the next week and spend the week with you.
Now, we know you're going to come to South By next year, so.
Oh, that'll be the day I go to that thing.
I'll come down and visit you, but I'm not going.
I'll go down.
I would maybe to visit the people of the new tech operation.
They would do the TriCaster.
Are they in Austin?
No, they're in San Antone.
San Antone?
Well, San Antone ain't no Austin, okay?
No, but I'd go there, then I'd jump in the car, take that beautiful drive between San Antone and Austin.
Hey, we have the new freeway, which you can drive 190 or something like that.
I'll jump on the tollway and zoom down there, and then I'll cook dinner.
I'll see what that pot can do.
Get me behind the wheel of that thing.
Hey, so we always are on the lookout for stuff that falls under the bullying category, and there's a new one now.
So, of course, this is an attack on the First Amendment, just your right to free speech, but it's also kind of slave training in a way.
And so this whole bullying thing, and now we have anti-bullying laws and rules and regulations.
And so there was this inter-school district athletic championship.
I forget where it was.
And so apparently they have rules now.
And when I looked it up, I was like, oh, brother, this is rampant.
I'd never heard of it.
So the kids, the school, the kids who won the relay race, so they cross the finish line and they win.
So what do you do when you win?
What do you do when you win?
When you win a race, what do you do?
Well, a lot of people, they cheer for themselves, they pump their fists, sometimes they pound their chest, or they spin, or they do a pirouette, or a lot of them, if it's a long race, they just pass out.
Now, passing out is the only thing I think in that list that you said that is actually allowed.
Wait, wait, wait.
You're telling me, so when Hussein Bolt just kicks everybody's butt in the 100-meter dash, and then he does a position of a lightning bolt, that's no good?
No, that would fall under the taunting rules and regulation.
The race is over.
What taunting are you doing?
Well, let me play the clip.
That would be bad bragging, maybe.
No taunting.
So the kid sticks his finger in the air To thank the Lord.
To thank the Lord.
To thank the Lord.
And they were disqualified from winning, lost the race.
What?
Yeah, yeah.
They lost the race, were disqualified, even after they physically won.
But because they broke the rule of sticking his finger in the air, he thanked the Lord in his case.
And I've done things where I've gone like, holy crap, Lord, thank you for that one.
Even though I'm not necessarily like a church-going dude.
No, you're not.
And here is the rule police on the taunting rule and why they were disqualified.
The rule states no celebratory gestures, up to and including raising your arms.
According to the UIL, the relay team was disqualified for, quote, unsporting conduct.
The UIL says it does not have a rule prohibiting religious expression.
You can do whatever you want to in terms of prayer or kneeling or whatever you want to once you get out of the competition area.
You just cannot do it in the competition area and it comes back to the taunting rule.
I can't taunt my opponent.
If you Google taunting rules, oh my God, this is everywhere.
The NCAA is like you can't taunt your opponent.
That's not taunting.
It's called celebrating.
But you can't do that anymore because it might hurt their feelings.
Because it falls under the bullying rules.
Do taunting and bullying and do a Google search on that.
It's everywhere.
It's insane, people.
You can't.
Here's the definition of taunting as a verb.
Provoke or challenge someone with insulting remarks.
Reproach somebody with something in a contemptuous way.
Yeah, like doing a pirouette.
That would be...
No, I don't even think that qualifies.
Yeah, but you're not allowed to do that.
You just heard the guy.
No, you can't do anything apparently.
Yes.
So celebration.
Okay, this is interesting because this is like the...
We noticed this before how nudity equals pornography.
Ah.
When there has never been that connection before.
Now they're making the connection that celebration equals taunting.
Yeah, that's it.
That's it.
So now you can't celebrate.
So you can't even celebrate anything.
You can't celebrate life.
You can't celebrate the New Year.
Apparently, celebrating is taunting.
Because you're taunting someone somehow if you're having a good time and celebrating.
You're making a toast.
But how do you win?
Toast at a bar is taunting.
You're not allowed to smile.
If you don't smile, you get arrested.
But if you taunt...
If you celebrate, then you're a bully.
Because now it'll be celebrate is bullying.
White is black.
Yes is no.
Right is wrong.
Up is down.
Please go read 1984.
Please go read Brave New World.
We were set up for this.
Clearly.
No kidding.
So play this clip.
This is a clip of a guy, Hugh Sun.
I can't remember his last name.
He just came out with a book.
This was on Australian TV. It was an interview they do.
It's actually a pretty good interviewer.
And I just thought this was kind of fascinating.
It has a little application here.
I have some other clips that also apply to this taunting or celebrating as taunting, which is a real step in the wrong direction, people.
A fate of self-esteem and drugs clip.
Okie dokie.
Yeah.
I just want my kids to be happy.
And I want to shake them by the shoulders and say what a hopeless thing to...
Not that you would wish your children to be sad or to fail, but wishing happiness is like saying I don't want them to experience their humanity.
I don't want them to know what it's really like to be a fully functioning human.
Exactly.
And I think the positive psychology...
Movement, which carries happiness, self-esteem, excellence, the cult of perfection, all these things, they're all bound up in the current Western neurosis, the utopia complex, this idea that life, not just life can be wonderful, but life should be wonderful and it's up to you.
Well, sorry, it isn't entirely up to you.
What's up to you is...
Have you equipped yourself to deal with the whole thing and not to feel that your default position is happiness?
So if you're not feeling happy, quick.
You know, if I can't do it all by myself, could I have some pharmacological assistance?
Give me a drug that will replace my authentic emotion today, a bit blue, with an inauthentic emotion, euphoria.
Wow!
Utopia complex, right on.
Yeah, and that's what's going on.
That's what we have.
We're surrounded by this.
The kids with the self-esteem that came out of the self-esteem movement.
Oh, no, don't worry.
No, we don't have first and second place.
Everybody is a winner.
We don't taunt.
We don't taunt our losers.
You know, when you lose, someone's got to say, hey, loser!
Ha ha ha!
Yes, they should.
But no, that's bullying or taunting.
It's something wrong with you.
Did you read...
Hold on a second.
Did you read the whole Book of Knowledge entry?
It's actually hilarious.
So what, taunting?
Yeah, so taunting.
You have clenched fist, crotch grab, cutthroat, the dickhead, the finger...
What's the dickhead?
The dickhead.
Gesture is made by holding a hand to one's forehead, the thumb and fingers usually forming a C shape.
Oh no, that's an L! They got that wrong!
Listen, stop interrupting!
That's the loser.
I've never seen the C shape.
Well, you didn't let me finish it!
Alright, go on.
I shall read again.
The dickhead gesture is made by holding a hand to one's forehead, the thumb and fingers usually forming a C shape, then moving the hand forward and backward in an arc.
The image suggested is a large penis growing out of the forehead.
Who does this?
Have you ever seen that?
Yeah, guilty as charged.
You do it?
Yeah, whenever I see Jeff Jarvis all the time.
Are you kidding me?
Then you have the finger, which of course is the middle finger.
The loser gesture in some countries performed by raising the index finger and thumb of one that rides hand perpendicular.
That's the loser thing.
The shocker, apparently, that's also taunting.
If you don't know what the shocker is, look that one.
What's the shocker?
Oh, please.
John, are you kidding me?
Two in the pink, one in the stink?
Are you kidding me?
You don't know the shocker?
Okay, go on.
I can't believe I slipped that in there.
Tongue.
Sticking one's tongue out.
A variation of this, also known as blowing a raspberry.
All illegal, by the way.
Turkey face.
You mean going...
Yep.
It is taunting?
Yep.
Turkey face gesture.
Well, according to the Book of Knowledge, which lists you as being four foot one tall.
So, you know, take that with a grain of salt.
The turkey face gesture is when...
Don't you think listing me at four...
Foot one tall is taunting?
Yes, it's totally.
It's bullying.
It's big time bullying.
It's cyber bullying.
I think that Wikipedia should be ashamed of itself of letting people bully me on the Wikipedia.
You know what?
Okay, so I'm going to add another choice to my future list.
So we have becoming a whore, which is the easiest, but not very profitable in my physical shape.
Becoming a Twitter news director and creating the next browser.
Yeah, that'll happen with a Kickstarter.
Everyone will laugh at me.
But I could also become a lawyer and just sue Wiki and Google and just sue everybody all the time for hurting my feelings.
That might work.
So the V sign is also an insulting gesture.
What if it means victory?
The insulting version of the gesture with the palm inwards is often compared to the offensive gesture known as the finger.
Oh, I see.
Yeah, in some parts of the world.
The wanker...
It's the area where people have two dicks.
Yep.
The wanker gesture is made with a loose fist, with all fingers forming a cylindrical shape, shaken up and down, sometimes back and forth, at the wrist suggesting masturbation.
A picture of the young Tony Blair, later the Prime Minister, using the wanker gesture became widely available, although copyrighted in 2007.
Really?
Copyrighted?
This wanker copyrighted.
That's funny.
I didn't know there was a picture of Tony Blair wanking.
Let's see.
Tony Blair wanking.
Now we need to put this in the show notes.
Let's see who's violating the law.
Oh, yeah!
That's right, of him as a kid.
That's pretty funny.
That's pretty funny.
Oh, that is funny.
Interesting.
So anyway, so that's where we're headed.
And I love what this guy is saying.
What do you call it?
The utopia complex.
And that is pretty much the whole idea.
Is take a drug to get the feeling, but don't actually experience it.
Whereas you're supposed to.
It's really good.
As a kid, you're not supposed to be wearing a helmet to go to school.
You should fall down and knock some teeth out and scrape your knee, roll in the mud, get beaten up, and then you too can be doing a podcast later.
So I was listening to Abby Martin, who I think they're trying to make the babe of Russia Today.
Oh, you know, I can't watch her.
She's hard to watch, and she's...
She has a show called Breaking the Set.
Yeah, I always wondered what that meant until I watched the show finally.
It was Breaking the TV Set.
Yeah.
So anyway, it was all...
And she just has...
It's just...
It's written...
I don't know what it is about her.
You know, I kind of...
No, I can tell you.
I can tell you exactly what it is.
It's written in this snide...
It's exactly what the...
She's basically Alex Jones with high heels.
Except she doesn't have the voice to go...
And she's not selling seeds, she's selling Russia.
Because all it is, it's like this, instead of discussing the issue and saying, okay, or maybe just saying what it is, like the insane or whatever, or really delving in or reading something and coming up with some actual theories, it's all like, it's so crazy, so crazy that America would do this.
You know what I mean?
It's just like snide.
Yeah, in fact, exactly what you say is what the clip is.
Yeah.
And what's funny about it is this is a thesis of ours.
Actually, it's not even a thesis of ours.
This is taken, I guess, about a month ago or longer.
We had that clip of the Hayden and the head of the CIA accounting department and the CIA guy who was the head of interrogation and all these guys that are under indictment were on a panel at Brookings or someplace talking about how Obama in particular has stopped all interrogation.
Stop the torture, which these guys are all for, with a rationale that was like an eye roll.
But it was okay.
They said he's moved on to just killing people instead of capturing them.
And so now, a month later, RT comes up with essentially the same thing based on first she interviews some guy who suggests it.
And then she realizes that she actually does a little documentation that we don't have that was actually quite good.
But this thing is still bad.
And because it's been so politically bad for Bush and then Obama, even though people seem to...
Wait a minute, did she just have the needle scratch sound effect?
That apparently is the way they go into their bits.
So hilarious!
It sounds like a fart!
I'm Abby Martin.
And because this has been so politically bad for Bush and then Obama, even though people seem to have forgotten that he said that he was going to close it, it seems like the U.S. is now opting to just kill suspected militants abroad instead of capturing them.
I mean, is this just the new policy because of how bad this detention facility has kind of been, a scar on the administration?
Well, hopefully that's not the policy.
I mean, if the U.S. has gotten to the point where killing people is easier than confining a sad commentary...
What a sad commentary indeed, if it were true.
And guess what?
It is.
According to Guardian, the lawyer who drafted the policy on drone assassinations, John Bellinger, claims that the Obama administration is ramping up the use of killer robots for this very reason.
He says the administration's unwilling to deal with the consequences of capturing these terror suspects alive and having them end up in the limbo of Gitmo.
At a press conference at the Bipartisan Policy Center, Bellinger said, quote, this government has decided that instead of detaining members of al-Qaeda at Gitmo, they're going to kill them.
So basically, Obama's drone architect admits that 5,000 human beings have died just so Obama can avoid bad press.
Because heaven forbid we deal with the antiquated concept of the rule of law, you know, capturing suspects alive and actually charging them with a crime before blowing them and everyone around them up.
Wow, Obama, how far are you straight?
Okay, I've got it.
Now, I know exactly what's going on here.
I used to see this all the time at MTV. Back in the day, MTV, everything was scripted.
Everything was completely scripted out.
I was one of the first people who said, just put the title of the video in there.
I'll bullcrap my way into it.
But everything was scripted, scripted, scripted.
And they bring in celebrities.
In fact, Adam Sandler came in a lot.
And he was one of the few people that would sometimes go off script.
But when you get someone who can't read a teleprompter and you have someone writing in a certain tone, a certain way, you get this mismatch.
And that is exactly what this is.
Abby Martin cannot read a teleprompter.
I could take that exact script and make it sound dynamite.
Dynamite.
Because the writing is kind of there, but when someone writes...
Hold on a second before you say that.
The writing is kind of there.
It's not quite there when you have a sentence like, and end up blowing yourself and a bunch of others.
Other people that are around the area up.
Yeah, no.
Well, this is my point.
When the writer is putting in sarcasm, because that's what it is.
They're writing sarcasm.
She can't read it.
And she's not even that hot.
Fire her already.
Sorry.
It's just not working, RT. Hire us.
We'll get you the right women for the job.
We might have to poach one or two.
By the way...
Jeff Zucker over there at CNN, you see what he's doing?
Yeah, he's loading up.
Okay, so there's some hot babes coming in.
Hasn't helped yet.
Hasn't helped yet, but now they're doing these roundtables, and so for some reason he has a hard-on, maybe it's because she has a huge contract, for Christiane Anandpour.
And they put her in every roundtable, and it's so unbalanced.
Like, you know, you got Anderson Pooper, you got Christiana Ampoor, who thinks she is the shit.
And she's making faces.
When someone says something she doesn't agree with, she makes faces.
And her interviewing is terrible.
I didn't play the whole thing, but when she was interviewing Eric Schmidt, who's got me on the Schmidt list.
Yeah.
Schmitt's List.
That should be the title of your column, by the way, Schmitt's List.
That would be changed.
So anyway, she kept asking the same question over and over and over.
She lost her train of thought.
She didn't know where she was in the questioning process.
She It's terrible.
Yeah, and I used to like it.
And Mickey is still a fan.
I'm like, she's not good anymore.
You've got to watch her.
Something happened.
Excuse me.
Maybe something happened.
The ABC thing, maybe she got too much money.
I don't know.
Something happened.
And now I'm going to slowly move over to Boston because I woke up with some thoughts and I went looking and I came up with some stuff that kind of fits into our theory.
So either someone's making stuff up Or this kid who is so shot up, you know, by, not by his own weapon, we now know, because he didn't have one, that he can't talk, but he's now saying all this stuff.
It's just, it's obviously just lies and lies and lies, just to keep the story going.
It was amazing to hear some of the stuff that was coming out of people's pie holes.
And here's Anupur.
She was just really annoying.
Well, you know, it just goes to the point that I really hope that one day we hear the story of these two boys.
I hope we hear all of Johar's story.
Because clearly, this domestic terrorism, all law enforcement people say, is the biggest threat in the United States right now.
Bigger than overseas terrorism.
We've really got to get to the bottom of this.
And it's incredible to think that they just were able to turn it on, turn it off, decide what to do.
Turn it on, turn it off, biggest threat.
So she's reading a script which is really important.
I'm just calling her 100% compromise.
What is the deal with these British accents on American television?
And CNN is the worst for it.
Does this impress anybody?
Yeah, this is the new thing.
We've got to have the Brits on because it's obviously truthful now.
So now they've got Bear, the ex-CIA guy.
He's gotten his script now.
So now he knows what to say.
And this is the same thing with Anumpur and Pooper.
And then they bring in some woman from The Blaze or something just to...
Oh, we're fair and balanced over here at CNN. Who cares?
And then Bear is on the telephone.
Anderson, that could be consistent.
It could be correct.
But there's two things I'd like to say.
One is...
Al-Qaeda has a standard procedure for its operatives that when they're caught, they're to say they did it on their own.
They did it at home.
They took the design off the Internet, that there was no direction.
And that's been in place for the last four or five years.
We don't know that that hasn't happened in this situation.
And number two is I've seen nothing out there to explain This is news to me, by the way.
I don't know where he got this intel.
There were a couple complicated...
It was an upgrade, apparently.
...additions added to it on the circuit and the rest of it.
On the circuit?
So he's apparently seen the circuit board now.
This isn't something that they would know how to do.
I mean, why did they vary the design?
I still think that Tamerlan got some sort of instruction in Chechnya or Dagestan, but that's just a hypothesis.
But...
You know, yes, they could do it in the apartment.
I doubt these Kazakhs were truly involved in the plot.
Maybe the wife was.
Kazakhs are so rarely drawn into these things that they're probably unwitting conspirators.
Okay, so I'm going to come back to that in a minute.
But so he's saying something very interesting.
They couldn't do it alone, impossible.
You know, what's going on with the Chechens?
So I woke up the other day, I'm like, okay...
Now I'm starting to figure out, because these guys, they were in not a free school, not a very expensive school, but $10,000 a year for tuition at least, which I don't have $10,000 a year in extra tuition.
If my daughter said, hey dad, I want to go back to college, I'd be getting on the loan train, trust me.
So I don't have that kind of money to send not one but two kids, whoever's paying for this.
You know, there's some talk of a scholarship.
Okay, scholarships come from many different places, not just from athletics, but also from, you know, agencies.
The guy's driving a BMW, and oh, a little extra thing I learned about the BMW, which I didn't know, and I went looking for the picture, and I found it.
Pooper talks about it.
It's an enormous bill and spent multiple billions of dollars to...
The Patriot Act, forgive me.
Well, even other than the Patriot Act, the idea...
Listen carefully to what Pooper...
So they're talking about how everyone's failed, but listen to what Pooper says about the license plate.
Yeah, of creating a national intelligence office.
Right.
Don't we have a...
That the whole purpose was to avoid it.
But you know, I'm still so struck by the Kazakh students and the U.S. students...
Driving around with a license plate that said terrorists won.
What kind of idiots.
And that they would...
Did you hear that?
Did you know that he had a license plate that said terrorist number one?
Yeah, that's the rich guy who's gone through all the BMWs.
I think that was pretty common knowledge.
But either I didn't know it or I'd missed it.
Okay, so here's what I'm going to suggest.
I still think we had a mix-up between agencies, okay?
And the CIA, most likely, had these kids on their payroll.
And maybe even the other kids whose visas had to be checked...
You know, because they were, like, helping out.
I think this is very common.
Like, come over here.
We get you in school.
We're going to give you an education.
You know, you could, hey, man, you're rocking.
You're with us.
Then go over to Chechnya.
We teach how to make a bomb.
Go F with the Russians.
Come on back, and we'll do more for you.
You know, shuttle back and forth.
Sounds like they were so much on board with what they were doing.
And, you know, that's why they're also yelling, hey, man, we didn't do it, we didn't do it, it wasn't us, man, because they know, because they were, I think they truly were already working for the CIA, so bear with me.
But now we have the bomb problem.
And this bomb thing, I believe, is going to be pinned on the real IRA, who just, and it shows up in the Federal Register like fucking clockwork.
The president says, based upon a review, blah, blah, blah, the real Irish Revolutionary Army is a foreign terrorist organization, shall be maintained with that classification, shows up out of the blue.
Boston, of course, well-known.
Thank you.
If that's the case, having learned all of this online, they apparently didn't meet Anwar Arlaki.
Of course, he's been dead for a while, but even before, had they been germinating this for a long time.
And again, you know, these are not bumbling idiots.
They put a bomb at the biggest sporting event in Boston and killed three people and injured 200.
They're not bumbling idiots.
And I think that this is...
I second that.
I second that.
You don't do two bombs in a crowded area with all those cell phones, command detonated, without some instruction.
But Bob, if Russian authorities...
Okay, now here's what I'm going to tell you.
Here's what happened.
And whatever the crosswire was, whatever the interagency problem, they didn't get the video.
They were supposed to get video of these idiots putting...
Who were programmed.
Again, I've said this before.
These guys didn't know it was going to blow up.
They knew they were supposed to put the bombs in.
And the agency was trying to get them on videotape, which is why they keep saying they have the videotape, of them dropping it off and then walking away like no care in the world.
And I can just see this.
Imagine this.
And it's like a TV series.
The CIA is sitting there watching the cameras.
They're getting the guys.
And then all of a sudden, just as the money shot is supposed to take place, where Joe Haar is putting his backpack into the trash can, some FBI fed is right in front of the lens.
And the guy's like, get and move out of the way, you idiot!
Oh, Jesus!
We didn't get it!
So they don't have that video, which is why they asked everyone who had a camera, what do you have?
Did anyone see anything?
Because we missed the shot!
And now they don't have it, but they just say that they have it, and we know that even the governor hasn't seen this.
Right, but right now they're working on it.
And so now they're working on it.
They're creating it as we speak.
Recreate it.
It's going to, you know, Spielberg, whatever they need to do.
It'll have a lot of flaws, and that'll be, you know, that's the problem.
Now, but meanwhile, we have to propagate the meme, and so why don't we just bring in Sanjay Gupta, What?
Oh yeah.
And proof, science, fact!
That you can now prove that these guys have an actual brain disorder.
Fact!
And it's reproducible.
We can just check anyone's brains and it's very obvious because when you walk away from this, when it blows up and you have not a care in the world, you are mentally ill and there's a guy out there who can prove it.
Some of the most important clues in the Boston bombing investigation may actually lie inside the brains of the suspects.
Possible abnormalities that experts say could have predisposed them to this kind of horrific attack.
Here's our chief medical correspondent, Dr.
Sanjay Gupta.
In the wake of tragedy come the inevitable questions.
What makes a killer?
Is there a switch that turns on a rampage?
And why?
Why would someone do this?
You can just say the person's evil.
I think that's 13th century thinking.
I think we've moved beyond that.
Adrian Rain is a criminologist.
He's also the author of a new book, The Anatomy of Violence.
He has spent more than three decades studying cold-blooded killers.
He says there are biological explanations for violence.
And Rain is convinced that brain dysfunction may, in part, explain the terror unleashed in Boston.
Were they just completely normal people?
We just decided one day, you know what, we want to create mayhem.
I don't think so.
I think it's more complicated than that.
Rain says he first saw echoes of his own work with violent criminals when this image of 19-year-old suspect Jahar Sarniev was released.
While others were running away, he was just walking away as cool as a cucumber.
I mean, that really struck me, because I've seen this before in psychopaths and murderers in prison.
And then there were these photos of the brother who was killed, Tomerlin Sarniev.
Boxing.
We've found a neurological abnormality in the brain.
Now, please bear in mind that if you're not smiling, or if you are using, what is the term, furtive?
Furtive movements.
Furtive movements.
It's all a part of this.
It predisposes to violence and psychopathy, and it's also been found in boxers.
And by the way, get a British accent?
Fact.
This is called carvum septum plucidum.
During fetal development...
As the limbic regions begin to expand and develop, they compress or fuse the two leaflets of the septum pellucidum together.
For some people, because of mild development of the limbic system, the gap never closes.
Mind the gap!
That gives rise to a lack of fear and a psychopathic-like personality who could go and kill You know, a number of people maybe not have any sense of shame or remorse or guilt about doing that.
That's right.
Check out the whole video in the show notes at 510.nashownotes.com.
So, it's obvious.
It had brain damage.
He can prove it.
Deceptius, lickidus, knockidus.
Well, one interesting little tidbit that came to mind as you gave that analysis...
The one guy with the terrorist number one license plate was one of the three students that took the backpack and the laptop.
That particular guy with that license plate, that was like his third or fourth BMW. He said to have lots of money, but nobody knows where he gets it from and all that sort of thing.
He was selling weed is what they were saying, right?
Yeah, selling weed enough that he'd get a BMW, a good one.
And so now the way you have it set up, that would mean that somebody, the reason they went and got the backpack and the laptop in particular was to get them out, get that evidence out because the kids were working for the CIA. This is part of the cover-up.
So they were one of those kids and that guy with the BMW would be the one guy.
Was maybe working for the agency or the other side.
Or who knows?
On the inside.
On the inside.
So he grabs the laptop and the backpack and then they haul it off and throw it in the garbage.
But they keep the laptop and no discussion of the laptop is made because that goes right to the agency to take a look at it, to get the...
Crap off of there, that might be kind of a lead back.
The breadcrumbs on there, they've got to get rid of that.
So that laptop, which was not reported, they said, well, we don't know what happened to the laptop.
As you listened to all those reports, it was one after another.
What happened to the laptop?
I don't know what happened to the laptop.
Who cares?
Laptop, schmap, schmap.
But we got the backpack with the stuff in it.
They could have put that in after the fact, for all we know.
The evidence could be planted in there because they did find it in a massive garbage dump, which doesn't seem like the easiest thing to do, especially if it was thrown in a garbage bag.
They've got to cut every garbage bag open.
So that's a little sketchy.
That in itself is kind of, well, they found it in the garbage dump.
Did you see that picture of those people in the garbage dump?
It was horrible.
Anyway, so the laptop, meanwhile, shows up out of the blue, apparently, and then we hear nothing more about it one way or the other.
This is pretty messed up.
Right.
So anyway, so I think this is a little...
I think you're right.
I think your analysis is correct.
There was two agencies bumping heads.
This thing may or may not should have gone off.
I don't know how you can analyze a bomb after it's been blown to smithereens and make commentary on how it was redesigned.
From the blueprints that are in that Inspire magazine, but I guess you could if the piece, I guess the important piece of it was blown away from this.
It sounded like he was saying that the circuitry on the detonating device, which we've heard nothing about, I've not heard anything about the circuitry, which apparently, you know, there's pieces of it, I guess someone knows.
But this bear guy, his job is to put something, and who makes bombs better than anybody?
The IRA! You watch.
Put that in the red book.
IRA, get the real IRA, by the way.
There's the IRA, there's the real IRA. Just classified as a foreign terrorist organization.
Why?
All of a sudden.
Boy, that's convenient.
It shows up in the Federal Register.
Like two days ago.
Who makes bombs best?
The Irish.
They're mad bombers.
In fact, when Mickey's car was bombed, when her car was rigged with a bomb, they sent the car to Ireland for them to check it out to see if they could figure out what had happened.
Because that's where you send your shit.
Those guys know how to deconstruct that.
And Boston?
Hello?
Ireland?
You watch.
It's going to get pinned on them for some reason.
And now, of course, they're an actual foreign terrorist organization.
Isn't that convenient?
So while you were doing that, I was listening to a psychiatrist, a psychologist who's very strange background.
He worked in Denver and Connecticut.
His name's Charles Hurd, and he said a number of things that I thought were quite interesting in so far as the debate is concerned.
I had to listen to these three clips a couple of times to realize what's really going on here, and I'll tell you what that is after you see if you can spot it.
This is all interesting material, and they're talking about Adam Lanzam, and this is one of those seminars that's a closed seminar that's on C-SPAN. This system, there's no blaming the individual.
We just feel guilty.
The people who provide treatment to these individuals...
And I speak firsthand, but I also speak for my colleagues.
When something like this happens, there is a tremendous amount of guilt that is experienced by those who are treating these people.
And it's frightening.
Whether or not he had somebody treating him, my first thought was, oh my God, I feel bad for this guy if he's caring for this person.
Because it's impossible to be able to predict these things.
As much as we like to think, well, if only the system were better, we would be able to identify these individuals.
Do you know how many college students in the last year have had homicidal ideas?
Seventy percent.
Seventy percent report homicidal ideas in the last year.
Ah, perfect.
What do we do?
We drug him.
Quick.
Nice.
A good number.
So then it goes on with some back and forth.
This is to the, I think this is at the Columbia School of Journalism.
It's for journalists to listen so they can get the kind of a clue from this guy.
So let's play part two, and the little giveaway in here I think is kind of interesting.
One final thing in terms of the press and the recovery of Newtown.
We're not the same people...
Oh yeah, I'm sorry.
This is clip two.
Go on, I'm sorry.
...in public as we are in private.
And when we're in front of the cameras, we tend to exaggerate our...
Pluses and minuses.
We like to please.
And if we think that people are looking for us to be a victim, we will play that up.
If they think we're looking for us to be the hero, we'll play that up.
It's not conscious, but it's there.
And I think the attention that Newtown has received by the press has magnified that impact.
And I think, ultimately, it slowed the recovery of the town.
Okay.
Now, this was a very subtle message about that guy who was joking and having the time of his life?
Yeah.
And then when the cameras were rolling, he's crying?
No.
In fact, no one was crying.
We have not seen a single tear on television.
Oh, no, but he was acting like he was crying.
Yes, yes.
Yeah, well, I thought that was kind of sketchy, that commentary in the first place.
Agreed.
But then I realized that there was actually a very more sinister message in this whole thing.
And I don't know if it's this guy or if it's just a message that's floating around the community, the health community, or if it's a Democrat thing.
I don't know.
But play clip three and then I'll tell you what I think is going on.
If I'm an investigative reporter, and as one corner of this, I'm trying to figure out what parts of the mental health safety net might have done a better job of catching someone like Adam Lanza, regardless of this case.
Where should we be looking?
Podcasts!
Well, if you look at the bills that are going before the state currently, none of them, if they become statutes, would have captured or will capture someone like Adam Lanza.
There's a lot of focus on committed outpatient treatment, but one needs to have committed some sort of act of violence like Kendra's Law here in New York.
And Adam Lanza was not violent prior to his act.
And I'm not clear, at least nobody's reported this in the press, that he ever even expressed a violent thought.
And do you know how many kids are preoccupied with violent video games?
Or military...
Wars or mass killings?
I'm just not clear in my mind that there is an easy solution from a mental health perspective.
I think the safest solution, obviously, is to keep guns away from people who are prone towards those types of things.
But that gets back to gun legislation.
Are there nonetheless some places in the mental health system that reporters should be looking and asking questions about?
Well, you know, there are a lot of problems with the mental health system, not just locally, but statewide as well as nationally.
And it's a very challenging thing because there are limited dollars to go around, and we all know that our health care system is broken.
So states and the nation have to prioritize where they're going to put their dollars.
Oh, boo!
Boo!
So here's the deal.
I don't like him.
System sucks.
We need more money, which is a nice...
You always got to get that in there.
Safety net can and never will work because of situations like Adam Lindsay.
He could not be caught with all these new rules and regulations and ideas and even turning the guy in if he was seeing a shrink.
Doesn't work.
I know what'll work.
Fluoridate the water.
Put some lithium in there.
Chemtrails.
Chemtrails.
What he's really saying here is that, yeah, we should keep guns out of the hands of criminals, but because we need to be safe, we should just ban guns, period.
This is a gun grab.
Oh, yeah.
This is, all handguns are bad, or all these guns are bad, because we can't figure out who, this message, we can't figure out who this guy is in advance, no matter what we do.
Okay, so, alright.
So, as this was playing, I was thinking, because of course, you know, the Boston guys, they didn't shoot people up, they didn't take AR-15s and go and shoot people.
No, if they really did it, someone did it.
Someone lit off some big cherry bombs, and they made big boom and hurt people.
Um...
And the statistic of 70% of all college kids have not suicidal, homicidal thoughts.
Like, I'm going to kill that bitch.
That's probably kind of the thinking.
I believe it all goes back to, and this is why we are doomed, by the way.
So now is the time for you to cry.
This goes back to how we are treating our kids.
So if you don't let your kid be a loser, if you don't let your kid be bullied, if you don't encourage your kid to go back and fight, if the kid doesn't know what it feels like to get punched in the face, or, I have to say, what it feels like to punch someone, What that feels like, because I remember the first time I hit someone, I was horrified.
Like, oh my God.
And if you don't have these experiences, you can't learn them from a book.
You also, by the way, need to see what real war looks like, which has been obfuscated.
That's the big difference with Vietnam era, when we had soldiers coming back, just limbs hanging off.
We had news items where they showed it.
There were guys in the field where people were getting shot up.
Yep, just dying right in front of you.
And they did bring the caskets back and we got to film it.
Now it's illegal.
Well, quasi-illegal.
These things need to return.
This is actually one of the...
How low the donations were today because of our problems.
I'm actually going to tag this as a well-rounded show because we really did hit on all these items.
And it starts at how we are treating our kids.
This insanity of putting them in a Faraday cage that's padded with the helmet on so Johnny doesn't bump into a pole and get a scrape on his way to school has to stop.
Now, I'm not on board with the leash thing, John, but even that is better than what's happening now.
We have to stop this.
Your kid needs to get dirty, needs to eat dirt, needs to start a fire.
Yes, I said it.
Maybe I'm dying soon, because I keep getting these flashbacks of when I was a kid.
I think it's because of where we live in Austin, and we walk on the street, and I'm like, wow, this is what it used to be like when I was a kid.
You walk on the street, you go down to the creek, you try and shoot a frog with your BB gun, and then you kind of felt bad when you hit him, and he was alive.
Shit, I don't feel good about that.
And then you start a fire, and then...
Got out of control, but then you put it out, and you go, whew, man.
Or maybe you didn't, and the cops had to come, and you run away.
This is all important stuff.
It's important.
This is how you form real human beings with real experiences, not stuff that is just made by movies and video games and television.
Real experiences.
In fact, John, here's the real business.
Reality camp.
You and I, and we bring these kids in, and we just beat them up.
Yeah, this would be a liability to the highest order in terms of legal aspects of it.
That ain't gonna happen.
Well, it was a fun idea while it lasted.
So anyway, so those of you with parents, take that into account.
Go move somewhere where this behavior is accepted.
I will say, Austin...
In some places, very accepted.
Some places, exactly the opposite.
Really bad.
Really, really bad.
But I love it when I see kids running around on the market on Saturdays in Republic Park, tripping, falling, crying, bumping into each other, like muddle, dog poop on their face.
I love it!
That's how it should be.
It's good.
John, come on.
Am I right or wrong?
No, I think you're basically right.
Okay, thank you.
Except for the dog poop part.
So if you're not going to go in that direction, then I have a clip.
Oh, no.
Really?
Of women that have been brought up with this problem.
You have to listen carefully because there's a bunch of different women here.
This is about the big biker thing.
This is what the burning man of motorcyclists is called Sturgis.
Yes.
Half a million of them drive out here.
There's this huge area that was put together called Buffalo Chip.
It is where all the camping takes place.
And these women work there and they want to all become Miss Buffalo Chip.
Which is cow poop, right?
Yeah, yeah.
And they go on about how great it would be for their career of awesomeness, and it's a lifetime goal, and all the rest of this mediocre bull crap, and they're all dumb, and it's just hard to hear it because it's all overproduced.
It's on the Travel Channel or one of these things, and they always have to have a lot of music behind here.
It's horrible, but you can get an idea of where this country's really going.
Ultimate Biker Babe.
It's Miss America with Piercings and Ink.
My name is Cherokee.
This is my first time to be at the Buffalo Chip.
And we are basically here to just promote the Buffalo Chip and help out with this whole sexy feel of it.
I want to be Miss Buffalo Chip.
That is my ultimate goal.
I'm here to win.
Although competing for Miss Buffalo Chip is just another part of their job, Cheryl and the rest of the girls really want to win.
To be Miss Buffalo Chip is the next big step in my life of greatness.
We have to dazzle everyone with our wits and our charm and our good looks.
Cash prizes and a trip to Jamaica are at stake.
But Misty has her own reason for wanting to win.
I want to be Miss Buffalo Chip because I want to come back next year.
Duh!
Duh!
So everyone, vote for me!
I would be Miss Buffalo Chip because I have skull crossbones tattooed on the backs of my legs.
So why wouldn't I be Miss Buffalo Chip?
I mean, covered.
Being able to party and work at the same time, like, what better job could you have?
Yeah, that really hurt.
Very, very hurtful.
Welcome to America!
Yeah, that hurt.
That really hurt.
Yeah, I'm trying to say that we can be great and you're just like demoralizing me.
Good work.
I forgot to say, teach your kids that we have enough lawyers.
Teach your kids, we have enough.
Stop, we have enough already.
It's okay.
Because you're right.
All these great ideas become huge liabilities.
You can't even do something cool.
Send your kid to, like, nature camp or something.
Why Indian Guides?
I was a Why Indian Guide.
Remember that, John?
No.
You don't remember the Why Indian Guides?
I never heard of it.
Well, let me see if they still exist.
Hold on.
Why?
As in the letter Y? No, no.
As in the letter Y. Indian Guides.
I wonder if they still exist.
YMCA Indian Guides.
There you go.
Oh, YMCA? No, but it was the Why Indian Guides Program in History.
It's hosted on GeoCities.
That doesn't bode well for the Why Indian Guides.
GeoCities is gone!
What is Why Indian Guides?
For the past 60 years, Why Indian Guides programs have offered thousands of elementary school-aged children and their parents opportunities to laugh, love, grow, and learn while spending quality, planned, one-on-one time together.
I remember it.
Well, of course, my dad gave up after, like, three meetings.
Thanks, Dad.
Because, you know, if your dad couldn't go, then, you know, it was like, you couldn't really get, it was like, weird.
But, you know, we do, like, American Indian stuff, you know.
It's kind of like, it was kind of like a cool...
Aims!
What?
One, to be clean...
I'm going to read you the Aims from the YIndianGuys.org.
Aims.
One, to be clean in body and pure in heart.
Two, to be pals forever with my father slash son.
Yeah, how'd that work out?
Three, to love the sacred circle of my family.
Four, to be attentive when others speak.
In other words, shut up.
Five, to love my neighbors as myself.
Six, to seek and preserve the beauty of the great spirit's work in forest field and stream.
Yeah, that's a winner.
No, but you know what?
We went into the woods and we like made fires and we cooked stuff like, you know, a squirrel.
A squirrel?
Yeah.
A squirrel?
Absolutely.
It was good.
And we enjoyed the land.
And then, you know, I remember one kid almost drowned.
We were doing a pool thing and It was good.
I'm like, oh man, look at that idiot.
It almost drowned.
It was good.
It was good.
Now you can't laugh when the kid's almost drowned.
But you do have to smile all the time.
So how does that work?
I didn't know anything bad was happening because everyone was smiling.
Hey, what is this Becky asked Adam?
Is that worth it or are we not going to do that?
The problem is I left out the answer.
But just imagine.
That's okay.
This is typical with CNN stuff.
I want you to assume this person is asking you this question and tell me if you can even make heads or tails out of what she's asking.
Because Mark Zuckerberg told us recently in a huge press conference, didn't he, in a huge event, that mobile growth is where it's all at.
And he talks about the new mobile Facebook environment where mobile will effectively be your operating OS on your phone going forward.
That's where they see the growth.
Do these numbers underline that that's where users see Facebook going forward or not?
Becky, Becky, if you were a real doll, you'd be taken out of production.
Okay?
This is, what an idiot!
Another one that gets fired.
They've got long-term contracts on people like this.
They can't get rid of them.
But she's got the British accent, which gets an automatic pass.
I will leave you with this being my last clip for the day.
This has to stop, okay?
We've got nothing but these moronic Brits...
Coming over, it's like they don't have enough going on in the UK. Maybe they've all been pooped out.
I don't know.
What is this with the Brits in our news?
And Charlie Rose has the editor, I guess, of the Financial Times.
And just, you know, when I hear this, it just makes me want to puke.
And it's still not entirely clear to me what he's really trying to achieve in terms of legacy.
Let's hope that Lionel's right and the legacy will be a big deal on the budgets and the debt, because that really would be a fabulous legacy.
If we see 3.5% growth 2014-15, no conflict with Iran, President Obama will go down as one of the top American presidents.
I believe so.
If you think of the conditions...
No, three and a half.
Three and a half, 3.5 and somehow Iran gives up all of its ambition.
No war abroad.
He'll have brought the troops home.
I'm writing the biography already.
Yes, I know.
And you can even hear Rose going, yeah, I know you are.
I know you're running a biography.
Hasiography is what it would be called, as we've learned from John.
But this has to stop, okay?
And I have nothing against British people at all, but the way you are being used here to get ratings, and you probably know it, but it's annoying.
It really is becoming annoying to me, and we're going to have to start some kind of campaign where we need to turn you off if you're British and I'm doing news here.
Go to the BBC. Go work for the big pedo bear.
So I have one clip that's interesting, because I'm finding more clips like this.
This will be the last clip for me, which are this short, too.
It's this kind of weird innuendo that has something to do with the plot, but sounds more like some sexual thing, which is, won't take long.
What do you think?
That's great.
It won't take long, will it?
That's all I got.
That's great.
Alright, well, are you sure low donations are because of Google, or is it just because of...
Well, we're blaming Google.
Yeah, sure.
No coincidence.
A coincidence?
I think not.

Nice.

I don't know.
It's stuff we don't run.
Show's over.
It's done.
Out.
History.
All our art is now offline.
They're going to run us out of town on a rail.
Yeah.
I'm sure it's related one way or the other.
Woot!
