	Please, can you peel me another grape?
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, May 9th, 2013.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 511.
	This is no agenda.
	Dodging the distractions of the Travis Heights hideout where the president visits today in Austin Tejas in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And it's garbage day here in northern Silicon Valley where I'm John C. Devorak.
	So I have the president coming and you've got garbage day.
	Is there a difference?
	Oh, the president's hitting Dallas?
	Dallas?
	Oh, Austin.
	Yeah.
	Sorry.
	I was thinking...
	Really?
	The other president.
	That really hurt.
	That was unnecessary.
	I didn't say Houston.
	Yeah, well, check this out.
	Here's our chief technology officer of the United States, Todd Park, explaining what the president's going to be doing.
	The president is kicking off a middle-class jobs and opportunity tour with a visit to Austin.
	A middle-class jobs and opportunity tour.
	That's right.
	Hey, proud to be middle class.
	A rising, thriving middle class.
	Rising, thriving.
	This is key to America's economic future.
	Our future prosperity rests upon creating more new middle-class jobs, equipping Americans with the skills to do those jobs, and ensuring that hard work leads to a decent living.
	Austin leads the country in manufacturing and tech job growth.
	The president will be visiting with local entrepreneurs who created innovative new companies.
	They've also created a ton of new jobs in the manufacturing and technology industries.
	We'll also be visiting a local high school where kids are learning tech skills, real-world tech skills, to compete in the job market of today and tomorrow.
	Like Facebook.
	Very, very good.
	What's this guy got to do with it?
	Because it's a tech thing.
	Does the president have a sore throat?
	No, all of a sudden Todd Park is in the news a lot.
	We've got all this tech stuff.
	I think what was released today, there was something else that was new.
	A new initiative for the incredible transparency that is our government.
	I've never seen a picture.
	This is funny because I was going to laughingly say that Todd Park, Park, he must be Korean.
	Yeah.
	Jokingly.
	Yeah.
	And then I look at his picture, he is Korean!
	Yes, he is.
	Executive order today, making open and machine-readable the new default for government information.
	Yeah, that's a big deal right now.
	What?
	Machine-readable?
	Yeah, they want everything machinery.
	Right now, the big thing going on in the medical industry is that all the doctor's offices around the country are being turned into electronic nightmares.
	Because the Medicare people said that you have to, I think 2014, you have to be switched over completely to electronic record keeping.
	We're not going to pay any bills you send us.
	Right.
	And then yesterday, Todd Park was giving a press conference with Spokesall Carney.
	I didn't get any clips from it, but what they've done is they've now released all the information in machine-readable format, so you can see what each procedure costs in each hospital, and the discrepancies in costs are quite interesting.
	I'll bet.
	You can have $5,000 in one hospital, and then two towns over, it's $250,000.
	Seriously, that kind of difference.
	Yeah.
	No, this has been a problem for years.
	They have the same thing with testing.
	There'll be one procedure, you know, usually a CAT scan or something in one operation and a big waiting list.
	And then another place will have machines ready to go at half the price.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's horrible.
	It's horrible.
	They have to standardize.
	It's horrible.
	It's horrible.
	They've got to standardize, I say.
	This is your new language.
	It's horrible.
	Why don't you talk like this?
	I'm a little upset because there's like three things.
	First of all, we have the show on Thursdays, which is always important.
	I was supposed to go to meet Rick Perry today.
	As today, and this is so typical of, I guess, politicians or politics or maybe the Dutch just in general, where today is Dutch Day, which will be proclaimed by the governor of Texas.
	So everybody pays for their own dinner.
	That's all right.
	Very good, very good.
	And today is Dutch Day by gubernatorial proclamation.
	And, you know, so the, like, the Consul General's gonna be here, and Ms.
	Mickey and I were invited.
	Does everybody get a bicycle?
	And I'm like, okay, that's cool, you know, I look forward to it, and I get to, you know, that was the big promise.
	Remember the guy who leaned over to me and said, hey, he's a cross-dresser, you know, maybe he's talking about Rick Perry?
	I told you that story, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	And so I'm all excited.
	It's at 10 o'clock.
	I can't go at 10 o'clock.
	Who the hell does like a proclamation thing at 10 o'clock, which by the way is only...
	At night?
	No, this morning.
	It started an hour ago.
	Oh, today?
	Yeah, which is even worse.
	Who does it on the day when the President of the United States is coming to Austin?
	The whole thing is nuts.
	He's going to be here in 45 minutes.
	And so this is the day they choose to get some PR, I guess, for the Netherlands.
	They're getting none.
	Good work.
	Yeah, good work.
	Numb skulls.
	That's like, whoa.
	How do you plan that one?
	Anyway, if you are tuning into this program, the best podcast in the universe, fact, congratulations.
	You are one of the lucky ones.
	Certainly, if this is not your first time, maybe your second or third time around, or maybe you've been listening for hundreds of episodes, you're going to survive.
	You will not be kicked off the island because you are actually awake and know what's going on in the world, and you are not falling for these slave distractions.
	It's like the telescreens.
	All of a sudden, everything switched.
	Oh, we got kidnapped guys.
	Oh, we got a funny neighbor who talks about cute white girls running into black men's arms.
	Oh, that can't happen.
	Something love with that.
	And everyone...
	I want to say something.
	We're going to talk a little bit about this because I actually have a couple of directions I want to go with it.
	I was thinking that this is like a distraction of the week, kind of maybe a national story.
	This story is, because I monitor all the networks around the world, and this is a huge story in the entire universe.
	This is top of the news list in Australia.
	I monitor Facebook to see, which I need to talk about what's going on there, but I monitor to see the zeitgeist of the enslaved.
	And it's like everyone's posting about this.
	This and the stupid, what's the murder trial?
	Or whatever.
	Which we seem to have avoided.
	I don't even know what's going on with this.
	Other than I see a whole bunch of people outside in the parking lot cheering when they pronounce her guilty.
	I'm like, what is going on?
	What happened to North Korea?
	What happened to Boston?
	What happened to terror?
	What happened to Benghazi?
	This girl pronounced guilty.
	But how many times have I said, we need to have executions on television.
	This girl has got to fry and we all want to see it.
	Well, here's the way I was thinking about this.
	I think the way that would play out, I think this is going to happen one of these days, but specifically to just better control the public, because this is the whole goal, they're going to have to fry somebody and then immediately thereafter find that they were innocent.
	So the whole entire bloodthirsty public has to step back and reconsider everything they're thinking.
	Yeah.
	Well, anyway, so it's very obvious.
	You're right.
	I mean, I've seen it certainly in several European countries from my friends on Facebook.
	It's quite incredible how people are just enthralled by it and just go, oh, okay, this is the story now.
	Okay, I'll be over here.
	Oh, this is the story over here.
	Oh, I'll go over here.
	Well, what I like about the story, the current kidnapping story with the girls, and I want to play a sequence here, and I have it listed in order.
	Oh, very good.
	Very good.
	First, I'll start off with the clip with the guy, which I do have here.
	Let me find it.
	A little girl in the black, man, which is the thing that got me going in this direction.
	What was the reaction?
	Oh, it's one channel.
	Is that...
	You know, it came off as one channel.
	I don't know.
	Can you flip the switch and make it mono?
	You make that sound easy?
	Wait a minute.
	Let me see.
	I can do this.
	I have no idea why I came...
	No, I can do...
	I can monomonize this.
	Hold on a second.
	Where's my monomonizer?
	I thought I had a monomonizer in here.
	What?
	What?
	Man, processor, graphics, EQ. Well, that's crazy.
	There's no Menomonizer?
	Huh.
	Okay, everyone.
	We'll just pretend it's in two years.
	...on the girls' faces.
	I can't imagine to see the sunlight to be around people.
	I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man's arms.
	Something is wrong here.
	Dead giveaway.
	Dead giveaway.
	Charles, thank you very much.
	Dead giveaway.
	Thank you very much for your time.
	Either she's homeless or she's got problems.
	That's the only reason why she ran into a black man.
	Charles, thank you for being there, man.
	Charles Ramsey, a neighbor, heard the screaming, took action, went and did what he needed to do.
	The rest is unfolding before us here on Steam.
	We're going to send it back to you.
	Yeah, okay.
	So I was listening to this guy and, you know, it's like it's something that the elites can, like, laugh at.
	You know, here we go.
	I was thinking this is like a script that I kind of remember where you take a guy like this and we're going to see more of him.
	And here's who he reminds me of.
	And this, again, I think this is like a three-year cycle on this.
	But play sequence zero.
	Okay.
	Hey, I'm going to make you work for your dollar.
	Say something with that great radio voice.
	When you're listening to nothing but the best of oldies, you're listening to Magic 98.9.
	Thank you so much.
	God bless you.
	Thank you.
	And we'll be back with more right after these words.
	Do you want to play the whole clip?
	Is there more to this?
	That's fine, but now we remember this is Ted Williams.
	Yeah, this is the guy who was the homeless guy.
	Homeless guy.
	So we're going to put him in, we're going to grind him into the system to appease the public at large, because this is one of those feel-good stories, but yet, because he's a black man, we know he's going to screw up in the end, but that's just the way it is.
	It's like it was just waiting for the train wreck, essentially.
	Waiting for the train wreck.
	So this evolves.
	First it goes to the...
	You start to see a little background, because they like to give us kind of a scenario.
	So we have the mom.
	So play sequence one.
	This is the dipshit mom.
	He called me on my birthday.
	He didn't even know how old I was.
	He was telling people I'm 92.
	I'm not no 92, I'm 90.
	He lost a good job.
	He destroyed his family through drugs.
	So I prayed and prayed, but I always said, I guess my prayers wasn't strong enough.
	It never got through to him.
	And I went out there, and they're talking about the man with the golden voice.
	I said, who is that?
	That's your son.
	He come from a nice family, and then he went, poor, poor.
	So maybe this will build him up.
	This is the Ted Williams mom.
	Yeah, that was Ted Williams' mom.
	Alright, alright, alright.
	And so then we know there's problems afoot.
	And then next thing you know, Ted Williams goes off the wagon.
	I think they plied him with alcohol and shoved him on the Dr.
	Phil show.
	Here's the sequence of Dr.
	Phil.
	Oh, right.
	How I remember this.
	It's all coming back to me now.
	Yes.
	Yes, sir.
	Have a seat.
	Yes, sir.
	Um...
	How are you?
	Fine, thank you sir, as well as to be expected.
	Tell me what your thinking is, tell me what you want to talk about, and I'll tell you what I want to talk about.
	Okay, I don't want to talk about any past instances that were put on the back burners about family issues and so forth.
	What I want to talk about.
	Well, we've talked about all that.
	Yes.
	You and I have been through that, and you've had some conflicts since then, and I understand that.
	Thank you.
	I hate that for you, but that's part of working through all of this.
	I think, hopefully, in the future, you and your family can come together and be where you need to be.
	Yes, sir.
	I don't want to go through all of that.
	What I want to talk about is a return to health for you.
	So this goes on with Dr.
	Phil getting involved and putting him up at some facility where he's going to go into rehab and all the rest.
	And of course, he quits the thing, he gives up, and then that's kind of the last we hear of him.
	But if you really follow his story, he actually says that he thought it was scripted.
	He got taken right off the mainline track when he said stuff like this.
	He thought the whole thing at this rehab was scripted, and it kind of dawned on him, I guess, that he was being had.
	And he went and kind of cured himself in some other direction.
	The public never got to follow any of that.
	And so, ironically, he ends up getting...
	He's finally got a job.
	He's working.
	He's actually, as far as I can tell, on the straight and level now.
	But the curious thing, and I think no agenda listeners will be the only ones that can see the irony in what this guy is doing now for a living.
	He is doing voiceover work, and he's doing it for a major United States company.
	All you have to do is play the last clip, which is, where is he now?
	And you'll get the joke.
	Crab home-style macaroni and cheese.
	Cheesy, noon-stopped golden brown breadcrumbs.
	Wait a minute.
	Wait a minute.
	Is that really true?
	Is that really him?
	Absolutely.
	No!
	Living the mac and cheese life.
	Mac and cheese by Ayn Rand.
	There's no real conflit!
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	No, that makes total sense.
	He's doing the Kraft mac and cheese commercial.
	There you go.
	Yeah, so this guy already has received a notice from McDonald's Because, of course, he was eating his McDonald's.
	The whole thing is so mind-boggling.
	It's hilarious.
	It's just like, wow.
	It's like, oh my God.
	And the worst thing is, John, you really should get Mimi's login or something for Facebook so you can take a look at what's going on.
	It is...
	It's like...
	How do I explain it?
	Mass hysteria?
	Well, I look at Facebook once every two or three days.
	And I can't look at it any more often than that.
	And I'll tell you why.
	It is absolutely depressing.
	Because it's kind of like an ego machine.
	Everyone is mac and cheese, slave, wage slave, just complete...
	99% of the people are slaves no matter what.
	They're not awakened.
	They have no idea what's going on in the world.
	And then you look at Facebook at this timeline, and it's nothing but everyone posting pictures and inspirational quotes about how great life is and how beautiful it is.
	And it's all 100% fake.
	If anything, they're either throwing their baggage onto everybody else, if possible, or they're just trying to say, keeping up appearances.
	Like, oh, that's so fantastic.
	Look at this great mac and cheese food.
	I took a picture of it.
	Look at my cat.
	This sunset is beautiful.
	And then this whole liking business, this, you know, and I talk with Mickey about this a lot, you know.
	This, yeah, the business of like, you know, well, I don't really want to say that it sucks, but I'll click like so you feel good about me not liking you.
	And then the birthday thing, where it's your birthday and it shows up and everyone's like, oh, happy birthday!
	And you take that off, no one calls you anymore.
	No one knows your birthday.
	No one gives a crap.
	The whole thing, it is, you know, and...
	And somehow these networks, sometimes they form, you know, I guess one of the original social networks was Orcut, which was a Google invention.
	And I think Google purchased it, maybe.
	I can't remember.
	No, no.
	The story behind that is they tried to buy Friendster.
	Oh, that's it.
	Friendster.
	For X amount of money.
	And the guy said, now I'm going to make billions of dollars.
	Right.
	So Google said, well, screw you.
	It can't be that hard.
	And they developed Orcut in like a month.
	Right, which became a social network for Brazilian transsexuals.
	Pretty much.
	Yeah.
	So, you know, so the way networks, that's actually a study unto itself is how networks form and how people, you know, congeal around certain things.
	But this Facebook, it is, you know, the worst thing a human being has really is ego and this feeding of the ego and lumping it all on.
	When you look at this, I don't know how people do it.
	I get depressed reading this because I know it's all fake.
	It's all a lie.
	Everyone's just like, oh yes, it's so wonderful.
	Oh, amazing!
	Awesome!
	And by the way, women who say this, and I see this a lot now on television, and certainly video podcasts, let me put it nicely, Women who say it like this, awesome!
	You're not awesome.
	It's not awesome.
	The way you're saying it is not awesome.
	It is annoying.
	Find a new word.
	Awesome!
	Awesome!
	Or it's just awesome!
	No, it's not awesome!
	Doesn't that bother you?
	I know you hear it.
	I know you hear it.
	Well, yeah, I hear it all the time, and I always roll my eyes, but I'm always sending you clips.
	There's so many of these shows.
	I sent you another one this last week.
	No, and you ruin my day when you do this.
	I know.
	That's why you do it.
	Because I know you, when you see it, I know exactly, because you were part of the invention of this sort of thing, the number of...
	Girls and young women who have their own branded daily podcast, usually daily, where they have a Logitech camera.
	They're YouTubers, John.
	They're all YouTubers.
	They've got a Logitech camera.
	They've got their own channel on YouTube.
	They have millions of followers, and you've never heard of these people, and they're always edited the same way.
	It's all jump cuts and crazy, crappy edits that just look like...
	Junk, to be honest about it.
	Because I guess the girls have learned how to run, you know, Movie Maker or something.
	And they have the camera and there's just a lone head and they're talking at whoever their audience is and they're always saying it's just like Facebook.
	It's got, you know, a lot of dumb, it's basically idiotic.
	And it's not just young girls with Logitech cameras.
	This is rampant.
	It really, if you are on Facebook, do some self-evaluation.
	Because you think that you're sharing something beautiful or something nice.
	No, you're adding to everyone's depression.
	It is not okay what's happening there.
	Sean, come on, you've analyzed this.
	What is it?
	There's something...
	It's very different, by the way, from other social networks.
	This one specifically, specifically, I think is probably responsible for a lot of people killing themselves.
	I really do.
	Well, I think that in the school system, which promotes this, we had a clip a couple of shows ago with a guy talking about the self-esteem generation where everybody has to be happy all the time.
	If you're not happy, take a drug because you should be happy.
	And you should be happy because you're great.
	You.
	You're a winner.
	You're a great, great, great person.
	You're not a loser.
	You're not a loser.
	You're great and you deserve it.
	You deserve it.
	And nothing bothers me more than commercials where you have the female, you know, Andy McDowell or somebody saying, go ahead and buy Maybelline because you deserve it.
	You don't deserve makeup.
	I mean, you don't deserve any of these things.
	And the other one is you're worth it.
	You're worth it.
	You're worth it.
	I'm worth it.
	People say that all the time.
	Oh, I'm worth it.
	Really?
	You're worth what?
	You're worth it.
	Yeah.
	Okay, here's five bucks.
	You're worth it.
	So, yeah, it's, you know, so then you kind of add to that this, the telescreen mania of, and it, I mean, it's just, I don't know, maybe I just stand back from these things and look at it and like, we had North Korea, which, you know, North Korea, I don't even know if it's on the planet anymore.
	You're talking about something that fell out of the news?
	Yeah, I mean, remember we were like, we were going to die, we were going to bomb Austin.
	Missiles going to the East Coast.
	Yeah, this would be the day, by the way.
	The president is here, so you might as well shoot him in.
	So the missile's coming in.
	Then we had the manhunt, the Boston bombing, which threw North Korea off.
	Now, that's completely gone, although there was this testimony.
	C-SPAN has become a little unusable.
	I'm afraid, I have to say.
	Because it's so scripted.
	It's all set up ahead of time.
	Everyone knows what they're going to do.
	Everybody knows their role.
	Yeah, they screw up, which is fun to grab that once in a while when someone goes off the rails or literally goes off script.
	But it's all the same.
	And then we had the Boston hearing about the Boston bombing.
	And, you know, what is it?
	Oh, well, we're going to have more fusion centers.
	We need to know more.
	It's like, duh.
	There's nothing new.
	There's nothing exciting, nothing fresh.
	We need to freshen up the programming there on C-SPAN. It's become quite the annoyance.
	The main annoyance to me was the kidnapped girls found, and they were, of course, living with some douchebags.
	But what got me were the press conferences that they were...
	And by the way, they were playing, because I was watching mostly Australian TV this week.
	They were playing these press conferences full cloth in Australia.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And in fact, I got this one.
	The idiot aunt, the aunt of the family, comes out and holds a press conference and she gets rounds of applause and she's one of those women that says something.
	She talks like this, K, and then she's going to, I hope you guys back up a little bit, K. K? She doesn't even say okay, it's K? No, it's K. So we've gone from right to okay to K. Okay, when we're ready, I promise you, every single one of you guys, that you guys will, we will talk to you, okay?
	Last but not least, I'm asking God to watch over all of us.
	And, asking the family, you know, is asking is, that we as a community, Do not go retaliate against the family or the suspects of this crime.
	We are asking that as they have been doing their job, it might not be today when we want it, it might not be tomorrow, but they will get the job done.
	We need to let them do their job.
	Who is she to say anything?
	Who is this weed?
	She has a mouse in her pocket.
	I do have a theory about what's going on here.
	I do not believe for a second, and we don't know half of the story, I do not believe for a second that these women were trapped in this house for ten years.
	This was a brothel.
	This was a sex house operation, and the cops had been there many times.
	And they're always like, oh, no one opened up, so we left.
	This guy, I think, was running some kind of sex operation with full knowledge of authorities.
	And don't think that this is beyond reality.
	This happens all the time.
	And the guy got, you know, he was sacrificed, I think, probably to, you know, we did have a lot of interesting things happening, you know, clearly the president and the entire administration blatantly lied about Benghazi, at least the information they had.
	It is actual lying.
	So I can see where people were freaking out about that and had to change the conversation.
	And why else?
	Why else is this all of a sudden number one piece of news?
	I'm sure you saw the fantastic CNN montage, I think the Atlantic did it, where you have the host with the annoying mouse face woman and Nancy Grace and they're pretending to be on a satellite connection.
	Yet they're in the same parking lot.
	It's totally.
	And this is what I've even told you.
	I was faking satellite interviews in 1983.
	Well, we had at Tech TV, which was run by amazing douchebags.
	May I say?
	Mm-hmm.
	We had a roundtable discussion called Silicon Spin, and they kept saying, I don't know, because the guy who ran the whole station, he actually liked the Chris Matthews show the most.
	Oh, wow.
	And he wouldn't even watch our show.
	He wouldn't watch MSNBC all the time, so...
	So one of the executives goes, well, no, we need to change the format.
	So they changed the format, so I was by myself now, and we'd literally bring in guests and sit them in a chair across the studio, put a camera on them, and make it look like it was a satellite feed.
	The funny thing is, I believe that in this case, they actually were running that connection through the satellite, which makes it even funnier.
	That would be the way to do it so you have this long pause.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Where the person's nodding and then the person says it.
	So what do you think, Jane?
	And the person's nodding like an idiot for about two seconds.
	Exactly, exactly.
	But I'm happy that that happened.
	I'm happy that a lot of people saw it because it really does show you I should remind everybody to go do the Zen TV experiment.
	I'll put a link in the show notes.
	But once or twice a year I talk about this.
	And when you really do the Zen TV experiment, you understand how much trickery is really going on.
	But anyway, so this is, without doubt, John, in my mind, without doubt, this was set up immediately to distract the masses, and that's okay, sure, that's one thing, but it's frightening to see how people actually go along with the program.
	Oh no, they go along.
	And I just want to play one more little short clip, which is another press conference that was run full cloth around the world.
	Around the world.
	Around the world.
	And this is only a piece of it, but this was a guy, a press conference for soda.
	The guy is just thanking.
	This is unbelievable to me.
	I also want to thank the Tremont West Development Corporation Safety Committee.
	They've been feeding and giving beverages to the sheriff's office officers that are on the crime site scene right now.
	They've been assisting them.
	We have the Stockyards Clark-Fulden Brooklyn Center Community Development Office.
	We've got the 2nd District Community Relations.
	These are all very community-based organizations that are stepping up and helping out with this obviously very complicated and very...
	Yeah.
	What is this?
	Essentially, there was a press conference podium, and it was open mic night.
	I wish I was in the area.
	I would have gone up and sent some.
	Hey, everybody!
	Noagendashow.com.
	I want to thank them for showing you that this is real bullcrap.
	I could have done 10 minutes.
	But this is all a part of...
	And it comes back to...
	We've got to really identify this and come up with a name, maybe, at least.
	There's this culture of NGOs, non-governmental organizations, but really non-profits.
	And I think 70% of the country is employed by a non-profit at this point.
	And I read the Federal Register.
	We just get...
	The president signs one after another, federal disaster, federal disaster, federal disaster.
	Every state just keeps getting money, and this money spreads out through all of these non-profit organizations.
	And there's some one or two people running it, and they're making $100,000, $150,000, and they hand out soda, soda.
	Sodas to the pops or whatever.
	It's the same thing as changing your icon on Facebook.
	It's all part of this, oh, I feel much better now.
	Everyone should just have a big button on their head so people can just like you.
	With a check mark and a thumbs up.
	Everything should just be like.
	Because there's some...
	Like us on Facebook.
	Nothing bugs me more.
	You go to some website to see something, and then this thing pops up.
	A piece of JavaScript throws this thing in your face saying, like us on Facebook.
	I got to tell you, though, this is a part of this whole culture.
	And be honest, we are outside of what's going on here.
	I don't know if that's just because...
	Well, I have my suspicions as to why that is.
	But people look at you, at your profile...
	And look at what you've liked.
	And I've clicked on it maybe four times.
	One of them, Sarah Palin.
	Oh my god.
	I get people...
	What?
	I get people who go like, Hey man.
	You like Sarah Palin, man!
	Actually, this brings up an interesting point.
	So this Benghazi thing yesterday, which I see you have a couple of clips, I pulled a few things, but what was interesting is the Washington Post tweeted, and I think someone retweeted you, or somehow this showed up in the news feed,
	and People who are watching the Benghazi hearings on C-SPAN are middle-aged and eat at Chick-fil-A, which of course really means Republicans only care about this.
	I mean, that's just code because the Chick-fil-A thing was, wasn't that the owner, you know, said you can't kiss in my restaurant or what an anti-gay.
	We don't want two men kissing here at the Chick-fil-A. Meanwhile, their sales tripled.
	Right.
	So, yes, we tracked that.
	But the whole idea was, if you're watching this Benghazi thing, you're a Republican.
	You're an a-hole Republican because, of course, you're only out to get the President and Hillary.
	And so they have this demographics thing, which is where the Washington Post got it from.
	And this is the most unscientific piece of crap ever.
	But you fill in a Twitter name or a hashtag, and then for, I checked, for about $200, they will run a report and send it back to you.
	And so they did this on 2,452 people.
	And obviously I didn't have the $200 to spend on no agenda, and I don't think I need to hear that we're eating mac and cheese.
	But the demographics are very different than what the Washington Post, who should be ashamed of this deduction.
	I guess they looked at the report and said, oh, it's just a bunch of Republicans who are watching this.
	And even the report itself is incredibly biased.
	When it's right off the top, it says this is where they got it from.
	People in this group are in their 50s, typically white Caucasians, married with children with very high income.
	The group includes a notable concentration in Texas.
	Right, they were told So what are
	you talking about?
	And then there's, on Twitter, these people tweet more than average, yet have relatively few followers.
	Accounts followed significantly more than Twitter averages include, so they're not giving you everything, but they're saying, oh, these people follow Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin USA, Rep Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, and at Fox News.
	Well, let me tell you something.
	I don't follow a single one of those, and I'm pretty sure this is Democrats who are insane and have to read every single tweet.
	Just because someone follows someone doesn't mean you endorse them.
	In fact, I think quite the opposite.
	Quite the opposite.
	So, 12% of people tweeting with the hashtag from California.
	Number one.
	12%.
	And yet, somehow, it's Texas.
	Texas, number two, but California was number one.
	So this whole thing is bogative.
	If you look at the top cities, California, New York State, Pennsylvania, D.C., Los Angeles, Boston, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Austin.
	And on the red side, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Houston, Atlanta, and Dallas.
	So there was even more blue cities.
	The whole thing.
	It's like, wow!
	Wow!
	Can you make it any more obvious that you don't want anyone looking at this stuff?
	Oh, the median income, $62,000.
	And the jobs these people have...
	Let's see.
	10% the top occupation, senior managers.
	9.7% military.
	8.3% authors, writers.
	8.1% students.
	Oh, and then finally at 7.6% journalists.
	Yeah.
	Who would expect journalists to be at the top watching that?
	And then a little bit further down, something I've always said with 0.5%, 0.4% perspectively, pilots and DJs.
	One after another.
	And indeed, the number one place these people eat is Chick-fil-A. But it's followed by McDonald's, Starbucks, Papa John's, etc.
	That's America, my friends.
	America eats at poop.
	So the propaganda...
	Well, they definitely did not want anyone watching this, so they did everything they could.
	They, whoever they are, whoever's behind it, obviously the Democrat Party, to be honest about it.
	Well, Washington Post is skewed.
	I mean, there's no secret there.
	We know who they're...
	And if you listen to the Benghazi hearings, it was ludicrous They had some whistleblowers up there, and the Democrats refused to ask any questions at all, and they just went on and on about how Dempsey said this.
	And the worst douchebag, of course, is this Elijah Cummings.
	And he's the ranking member.
	He's the head honcho.
	Right.
	He's horrible.
	The guy is a corrupt creep.
	He's a creep.
	But worse is Carolyn Maloney, this Hillary wannabe, who instead of having the opportunity to ask one single question, she goes on a tirade against the chairman.
	I have a clip here.
	I have the whole tirade if you want to listen to it.
	It's amazing to me that somebody like this is even ever elected, and she is the representative from Manhattan.
	Right.
	And which...
	Oh, a nutcase congresswoman from New York?
	Thank you.
	For all individuals, to the extent that our witnesses can stay on, we will try to have a second round.
	Maybe I should just point out, while your telescreens were filled with images of kind of sexy chicks who kill guys and dudes who eat McDonald's and think that it's really suspicious that white girls run into black men's arms, this was what was really going on.
	I don't think you saw a lot of this on your news program.
	Danny?
	The ranking member and I both realize that we're a little behind schedule and I take blame for it, but we're going to try and move within five minutes of questioning whenever possible.
	The gentlelady from New York, Ms.
	Maloney.
	Thank you, Mr.
	Chairman.
	Thank you, Mr.
	Chairman.
	Is this on?
	I want to thank all the witnesses and thank you for your public service.
	My condolences to the families for your great loss.
	And I want to thank the American military.
	My father served in World War II, my brother in Vietnam, my husband in the Navy, and I can say after close observation, there is no place or no time that the American military wouldn't be there to protect American lives if they possibly could get there.
	And I find it truly disturbing and very unfortunate That when Americans come under attack, the first thing some did in this country was attack Americans.
	Attack the military.
	Attack the President.
	Attack the State Department.
	Attack the former Senator from the great state of New York.
	You know what we should do?
	I'll pretend I'm tying my shoelace behind her and then you push her backwards.
	So, I think maybe we should...
	Well, I want to hear a little bit more of this, but I do want to revisit our theory, which I feel is pretty solid at this point.
	Yeah, it's looking better and better.
	That this was a setup, and actually, now that I saw this testimony, the hearing, I feel much better about our thesis.
	And I think that the ambassador was in on the scheme.
	That's my current thinking now that I've heard everything.
	Let's just say the administration, or maybe in the Democratic Party.
	Anyway, to ensure that the president would be re-elected, the idea was to do a throwback, a callback to the Carter era, which is why we had the movie Argo as a side note, to kidnap Chris Stevens.
	And to have a heroic rescue, right in time, October surprise, the whole thing.
	And the president would look genius.
	Truly, if you watch Argo, and especially if you listen to President Carter's voiceover during the credits, you really see how it all comes together.
	And Hillary was in on this.
	And I'm quite sure, I'm quite certain now that the ambassador knew as well.
	And probably multiple people knew this.
	And the guys who they hired from Tunisia, because that's where they came in from, wound up not just killing.
	And by the way, none of this came out in testimony, which is how I know that even Hicks, he's not telling the whole truth either.
	Because the ambassador was dragged through the streets.
	They raped him with a broom handle.
	There's all this stuff.
	There's pictures.
	There's evidence of this, if you can take photographic evidence for what it is.
	But I've heard this from multiple sources.
	For hours before he was in the hospital and, oh, he's pronounced dead from smoke inhalation.
	So there's a lot of lying going on.
	The only person saying anything truthful is the one guy's mom, the SEAL's mother.
	And of course, he was treated like a crazy person.
	And of course, this is just crazy talk that's coming out of my mouth, obviously.
	Have you noticed this meme, John?
	That's just crazy talk.
	That's crazy talk.
	Have you noticed it?
	It goes along with, awesome!
	Oh, you're just a conspiracy nut.
	Well, we've gone from conspiracy nut to, that's awesome!
	Crazy talk.
	This is crazy.
	You've got to get the emphasis.
	The emphasis has to be right.
	That's just crazy talk.
	And so this went wrong.
	A double cross, whatever happened.
	That's why Hillary was so freaked out.
	Right after the thing, we noticed that Hillary was angry in a funny way.
	And the Navy SEAL woman, mom, she was interesting because she's the one who talked about the cold-blooded aspects of when the bodies came back.
	Yeah, of how both Hillary and Obama were really cold about it and like, yeah, whatever.
	And what's his name?
	Potato Nose, who's now...
	Bill Clinton?
	Panetta.
	Potato nose?
	Panetta, Panetta, Panetta.
	Oh, that guy, yeah.
	That's a good name.
	Potato nose.
	And so, yeah, so Hillary was in on it because it was her guy, and I truly think that he knew about it, too.
	It went horribly wrong.
	She gets...
	She goes nuts over it.
	Then they have to bring in that stupid story, which is just hilarious.
	The movie story.
	The video story.
	As I listen to more of this, by the way, because there's one senator who keeps harping on it.
	He keeps harping on Susan Rice.
	I'm thinking that this thing was so well scripted and planned that Rice had her marching orders before any of it happened.
	Thank you!
	Thank you.
	She grabbed the wrong bunch of papers and she was reading the old script.
	So here's a flashback to...
	This actually, I think, is part of what got Jake Tapper fired from ABC and got him his new promotion at CNN with the lead.
	Jake, let's be clear.
	These protests were in reaction to a video that had spread to the region.
	We certainly don't know.
	We don't know otherwise.
	You know, we have no information to suggest that it was a pre-planned...
	No!
	None whatsoever!
	...attack.
	The unrest we've seen around the region has been in reaction to a video that Muslims, many Muslims, find offensive.
	And while the violence...
	It seems even funnier now in hindsight, doesn't it?
	Oh yeah, it's hilarious.
	It was just a mistake Ms.
	Rice made.
	She was given some orders.
	It was the CIA's fault.
	It was the best information we had at the time, where we know that, according to this testimony, that the State Department, and certainly Hillary Clinton, knew.
	And remember when she went off in the hearing?
	She's like, what difference does it make?
	There's four Americans dead!
	She is freaking – she's very angry, and I do believe that she is – I mean, she's cold-hearted and all, and she's a snake and doesn't sweat.
	Well, I'm wondering whose idea this was because it seems to me that it wasn't Hillary's idea.
	No, but they promised her – Oh, don't worry about it, Hillary.
	This will be no problem.
	Yeah, and they promised her a free ride in 2016.
	So I'm thinking this is the kind of stuff that the money guys do, John.
	This is not Valerie Jarrett, although she probably was in on it.
	This is the money people at party headquarters who wanted a 100% shoe-in.
	And they had multiple strategies, rigging the vote machines, all kinds of strategies they had.
	They always do.
	And that's not...
	Both sides do this.
	Some just do it better than the others.
	And I think that there's more money now among Democrats than there's in Republicans.
	That's just, this is fact now.
	It's just the really, really rich people in this country are pretty much Democrats now.
	I mean like wealthy, like leave your wife rich, like crazy ass.
	Actually for a while.
	So I have this one clip, Susan Rice BS, which is the – after listening to that clip that you just played, I think this clip is actually more interesting.
	What precisely did he say to you?
	He said, Greg, we're under attack.
	Would a highly decorated career diplomat have told you or Washington had there been a demonstration outside his facility that day?
	Yes, sir, he would have.
	Did he mention one word about a protest or a demonstration?
	No, sir, he did not.
	So fast forward, Mr.
	Hicks, to the Sunday talk shows and Ambassador Susan Rice.
	She blamed this attack on a video.
	In fact, she did it five different times.
	What was your reaction to that?
	I was stunned.
	My jaw dropped.
	And I was embarrassed.
	Did she talk to you before she went on the five Sunday talk shows?
	No, sir.
	You were the highest ranking official in Libya at the time, correct?
	Yes, sir.
	And she did not bother to have a conversation with you before she went on national television?
	No, sir.
	You know, hearing this...
	So this video, here's probably how it went down.
	It's like, okay, we need something to blame it all on.
	We've got September 11th.
	First of all, it's a great day to do it on because that's all ideological.
	We can always use or fall back on this video because it wouldn't matter.
	Once you have a hostage situation, it doesn't matter why it happened or why it started.
	But somehow, and it's probably because of the weapons that they were dealing from the quote-unquote annex, which are supposed to go through Turkey, from Turkey into Syria, to arm the rebels, which we'll get to later, I'm sure.
	Something went wrong there, and that's when the whole thing just fell apart.
	But what upsets me, well, I mean, I'm not really upset, and I could give a crap.
	Ha ha!
	But what is curious is that this is also a part of the charade, if you will.
	There is no truth.
	There's a little bit of stuff coming out here.
	And sure, there was some lying.
	But really, what actually happened is not going to come out.
	And I think these guys know, John.
	I mean, we know it.
	Come on, we can't have the best sources in the universe.
	Issa's got to know.
	Cummings has got to know.
	I'm absolutely sure they all know.
	And I think that this is what we're watching.
	And you kind of hinted at this earlier in the show.
	This is kind of a scripted, it's kind of a fake.
	It's like, we're going to try to see if we can bust you guys and you're going to try to stop us.
	So we're going to try to bust you guys.
	Look what we got.
	We got three whistleblowers.
	They're whistleblowers.
	And then there's Elijah Cummings, who's the douchebag of them all, who essentially threatens the whistleblowers time and time again.
	And he does stuff like...
	Let me play a clip.
	Cummings is...
	I got clip after clip with this guy because he's the most amazing of this group.
	Try the, let's see, Cummings rant, Cummings follow-up to Dempsey.
	Here, how can you question General Dempsey clip?
	Mr.
	Hicks, in the interview with the committee staff, you stated, and I quote, in my personal opinion, a fast mover flying over Benghazi at some point You know, as soon as possible, it might very well have prevented some of the bad things that happened that night.
	Is that right?
	Did you say that?
	Yes, sir, I did.
	And you further stated, and I quote, I believe if we had been able to scramble a fighter or aircraft for two over-Benghazi as quickly as possible after the attack commenced, I believe there would not have been a mortar attack On the annex in the morning because I believe the Libyans...
	Record on Windows 8 much, John?
	Is that right?
	Yes, sir.
	At a hearing in February before the Senate Armed Services Committee...
	John, you can't be instant messaging with your hose when you're recording audio.
	Stop that.
	General Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff...
	Was asked whether we could have deployed F-16s from Aviano Air Base in Italy.
	Yes.
	And he explained why we could not.
	And these are his words.
	All right, we can.
	And we're just trying to make sure we get the complete picture here.
	For a couple reasons.
	And I quote, this is a quote.
	For a couple reasons.
	One is that in order to deploy them, it requires the this is the middle of the night now.
	These are not aircraft.
	Is this guy now all of a sudden he's an expert in warfare?
	And he's an expert in droning on forever.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, he goes on and on.
	Well, let me summarize before the thing starts dinging.
	What is this?
	We've got to work on that.
	There's a couple of clips.
	I'm editing the clips.
	Oh, what is this?
	And you hand this to me?
	I'm recording it on this.
	Okay, but what is the ding?
	What is happening?
	What is the alert for?
	He was trying to make a connection to some service, and it was just error messages.
	Anyway, so, yeah.
	And so, this guy...
	Were you doing that with dial-up terminal?
	This guy goes on and on about, do you think that Dempsey's full of crap?
	Are you questioning the great general?
	And he does this over and over and over.
	He says, I love these whistleblowers.
	This guy is a douchebag.
	Of the highest order I've ever seen.
	And this idea of questioning somebody and going, so you disagree with General Dempsey when he testified before Congress?
	And the guy says, no, I don't.
	He says, I was told it was going to be three hours by the Defense Department liaison, which is what his answer can.
	Luckily, he's kept his answer the same.
	I don't know what Dempsey said.
	All I know is the Defense Department liaison officer said it would take three hours.
	Dempsey says that it would take 20 hours.
	I can fly to South Africa from SFO in less than that.
	These guys can punch a hole in the sky and be there in 18 minutes.
	Yeah.
	Crazy?
	This is nuts.
	Dempsey apparently has sold out.
	He's part of this.
	This is like a game they're playing that is just nerve-wracking.
	Is it possible?
	I'm just shooting from the hip.
	This was flowing through my mind.
	We had a lot of people quit, get fired, etc., right after all this went down.
	There were stand-down orders, HAM, everything.
	People are out.
	They're quitting.
	Generals leaving quietly without big fanfare.
	Major generals or corporals, I'm not sure of all the rank, but we've tracked at least six or seven have just left very, very quietly.
	I'm thinking still there must have been some kind of Smedley Butler-type military coup, and Petraeus may have been part of it.
	There was something brewing.
	There was really something brewing, and we may not know for another 20 years, but there was a lot of stuff that went down that this little play that they're putting on, and it is.
	I mean, why else...
	So Cummings has just gotten the memo that Jack Nicholson would give.
	It's like, you know, speak slowly.
	Don't bump into the furniture.
	You'll be good.
	And that's what the guy's doing.
	He's just wasting time.
	Actually, I've got the best Cummings.
	I don't want to keep playing Cummings stuff.
	But there's one thing he did.
	Vague threats from Cummings, nutcase woman.
	Let me see what you would.
	Try playing vague threats.
	This might be it.
	To you, Mr.
	Hicks, as you, that night, it just reminded me of the high cost.
	The high cost.
	Say it again.
	That is paid by so many of our folk in the diplomatic corps.
	It also reminded me of their bravery.
	And the fact that you all...
	Go around the world in foreign places, trying to make a difference.
	And as I listened to your testimony, I could not help but think about something that I said very recently, about two years ago now, in a eulogy for a relative.
	I said that Death is a part of life.
	Oh, you're a genius, Cummings!
	It's better.
	Oh, I said this to myself.
	I said, self?
	Put this on your Facebook timeline.
	Death is a part of life.
	But so often we have to find a way to make life a part of death.
	douchebags alright I got one clip I want to add to this So this Hicks guy, who of course, after he questioned Susan Rice's little TV appearances, was demoted from pretty much the guy running the show to a desk job.
	And so here's Democrat, maybe this is not the New York lady, Jackie Speier?
	Jackie Speier, she's from California.
	Okay.
	Basically bribing the guy.
	I think you deserve to have a post in a location that you desire.
	I was like, what?
	And the guy was like, he's smiling now because he's part of the scam.
	So I would like to ask you, where would you like to be posted?
	Well, let me think.
	Geneva?
	If you continue to play your role.
	Yeah.
	No, just keep going.
	I think the post that you want is the Vatican.
	Oh, boy.
	Apparently, all you do is party.
	That's all they do anyway.
	Yeah, it's true, but they have better wine there.
	I mean, sure, from time...
	But Chris Stevens was not in an embassy.
	He was in a consulate, which is pretty much a house, right next to the annex, which was the weapons depot of the CIA. All these code words are driving me nuts.
	Yeah, I know.
	They're definitely running a script on the public.
	Yeah.
	In case one of these old white men actually does listen to C-SPAN instead of being distracted by the little girl's kidnapping for 10 years.
	Yeah.
	It seems as though they're not taking any chances.
	And the thing was...
	The one thing, the Maloney piece, which you stopped before she went on about how great Hillary is...
	We can bring that back if you want.
	Yeah, we'll do it.
	That's not that important, but I'll just summarize some of it.
	She rips Issa, a new one...
	Because Issa went on the television saying that Hillary lied.
	She lied.
	And she's trying to get her going.
	And Maloney goes on about...
	Apparently, the document...
	It actually becomes very interesting.
	What happened was...
	Issa noted that when they asked for more security for the...
	Yeah, it was denied and Hillary's signature was on the denied.
	Yeah, but it wasn't Hillary's signature.
	It was just her name.
	Yes, which is normal.
	Which is normal because they put her name on everything.
	And so Maloney goes off the tracks and she demands that they put in an article from the Washington Post calling Issa a liar and he's going, so ordered, he doesn't care.
	In fact, he's so un...
	Yeah, but I see so much of the alternative media, if you can call it that, actually thinking there's something going on here.
	It's all, every single bit of this is scripted, is set up, is bull crap.
	I'm only interested in what will come out of it.
	Are they going to hang someone out?
	Will they hang someone out to drive?
	Well, they usually have to throw somebody under the bus.
	I don't know.
	I think they've already done that with Rice.
	Yeah, I mean, I don't think there's going to be any extra hanging or anything.
	These guys clearly don't want to get, and by the way, isn't it a great story what really happened?
	What a great story!
	There's not a single journalist or publication that will go after the real story.
	And by the way, you can call me.
	Call me, people.
	I'll point you to...
	I can get you my sources.
	Be a good script.
	Yeah, another project.
	Let's see, it would have to be done.
	Let's see, the script for Argo is what, how many years after the fact?
	13?
	Yeah, yeah.
	So in 2026, this will make a hell of a movie.
	Yeah, maybe.
	Maybe we can do it.
	By the way, in the morning to you, John C. Dvorak.
	Oh, well, in the morning to you, Adam Curry, and in the morning to all the feet on the ground and the foots in the water and the subs in the air and the troops in the bunkers out there.
	Yes, in the morning and also in the morning to the actors on the hill.
	We might as well just call it out.
	This is what they really are.
	And all of our human resources in the chat room, noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net.
	Our artists...
	Special thanks to Martin J.J. for providing the artwork for episode 510, our knights and dames, our barons, our baronets.
	And there was actually a suggestion that came in on the wire, and you're the peerage officer, for a new level, the level of Grand Gentleman.
	Yeah, Grand Gentleman.
	Which I think would be 404 would be a nice level for that.
	So if the site is not found, you know, 404, the Grand Gentleman giving level.
	You know, you're kind of somewhere in between everything, but you're not really, you're just a distinguished member of society, such as Matt Cutts from Google, who is a Grand Gentleman.
	Yeah, he's the Grand Gentleman.
	Yeah.
	The peerage office will take that under consideration, and we'll get back to you.
	Because it is our...
	I like the 404 donation, though.
	That's an interesting idea.
	Then you're on your way tonight.
	So we had a lot of problems with Dvorak.org, and many associated sites was down for many, many days.
	So people who could get through did step up and jumped in and helped, or who weren't afraid, I would basically say, weren't afraid of whatever warning of thieves with bags of ones and zeros of data or reaching through your screen.
	And this is not unique.
	I think it happened to the Drudge Report as well.
	Yeah, and I don't think...
	This was supposedly an injection of WordPress blogs, and I don't know.
	I didn't know maybe.
	It's possible that Drudge is running off of WordPress.
	I didn't think he was.
	I don't think so, no.
	Now, this is Google protecting their ad business.
	That's all that it is, but that's for another column you're going to write.
	Yeah.
	I'll help you with that one.
	Well, there's a lot of screwiness about this whole episode, I have to say.
	And what still gets me is the fact that static pages were marked as infected when they weren't, and stagnant pages, and JPEGs that went over to your site were marked as infected, which is not even a possibility.
	Yeah.
	Well, you can embed stuff in a JPEG, but it wasn't.
	It's just, it's not.
	It just wasn't.
	And I'm still getting emails from people whose corporate firewalls are somehow tied into the Google Gestapo database.
	Oh yeah, in fact I got a note from the two cows people asking me about this because they have some blacklists themselves.
	This is the end.
	The internet is that, someday in the future all the internet is people is going to be Amazon, Google, and a couple of news sites.
	How about porn?
	Well, the porn, yeah.
	I wish the.xxx thing would do a little better.
	I'm telling you, I put up a new random wire antenna yesterday just to get better reach on the ham radio.
	And I got an ITM back last night, which is pretty funny, from Pennsylvania.
	You got an ITM. Yeah, on the digital modes.
	I'm telling you, this is how it's going to be.
	That's going to be the way we communicate.
	Yeah, so you enjoy the show while you can.
	Yes.
	Because it's probably got five years at the most of life.
	We don't even have five years of life.
	What are you talking about?
	I hear the most.
	Okay.
	So let's thank a few people that helped executive produce the show.
	Including...
	Hold on.
	Something's wrong here.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	Two...
	Two, two, two, two, two.
	Sorry.
	Okay, I'm back.
	Beginning with an instant night donation from Sir Thomas Poolyard, $1,000.
	Wow.
	He says, recently had a little good fortune, small bonus at least, enough to pay off my credit card, so I immediately almost donate to my friends at No Agenda.
	Also, I've recently had an unexpected contract with some additional work in Kuwait.
	Wow.
	So in all, it's the karma.
	Use it wisely.
	I guess I do a baronet.
	So I don't know if he's on a list for that.
	No, but you know what?
	There's no list at all of titles today, and I'm a little worried about...
	Well, that's because this came in as a separate email.
	It was not in the spreadsheet, and I'm reading from the email.
	Okay.
	All right.
	You can...
	So he says, had I known the peerage was going to be added, I may not have given my daughter the damehood back in February.
	Screw the kid!
	We'll put him on as a baronet.
	And he doesn't want a baronet, because he says it sounds too feminine.
	I actually agree with that.
	Okay.
	Another reason to donate more, become a baron.
	Not a girly-sounding baronet.
	All right, all right.
	So he's off the list.
	Great.
	Sir Thomas Pulliard, thank you so much.
	And he needs some karma.
	He says 73.
	Yeah, totally.
	Yeah, 73 is back at you.
	Absolutely.
	You've got karma.
	More and more people are putting these official titles of associate producer or producer on their LinkedIn page.
	I should find this note.
	Someone sent me an email and said, I put my associate executive producer credit on my LinkedIn page.
	People were contacting him and congratulating him.
	It's like, hey, congratulations, man.
	That's really cool.
	I'm telling you, it's real.
	You're like, this sounds like a really great project you're working on.
	Congratulations on your executive producership.
	So you can do this, too.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, yeah.
	So...
	Sir Pouillard, he's an A92GW in Bahrain, formerly KB9YSZ. Yeah, we're going to try and do a QSO. Why are you laughing?
	You'll be laughing when you're sitting there and all you can get to is Amazon.com when I'm talking to everybody.
	And we'll all be laughing about you, KJ6. You still have free shipping.
	As long as you get free shipping, I don't care.
	Two-day shipping free.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Luke Vanderhelm came in with a $600 direct deposit.
	That completes his knighthood, doesn't it?
	Yes, he says, thanks for the quick response.
	I thought it was a knight already.
	Didn't we knight him a couple weeks ago?
	No, I don't think so.
	Well, let's put him on the list.
	We'll knight him today.
	Okay.
	He's on the list for today.
	Uh, he, uh, sends a couple notes in, uh, cause he, cause I had to go find his direct, uh, deposits.
	Generally speaking, they come in on a email.
	Yeah, but this also came in through Europe, so I'm sure it was hanging around for a while.
	Yeah, so I had to dig it up.
	And, uh, which is, but it's a good direct deposit.
	It's about the amount of money that makes it worthwhile.
	If anything less than that is the chart, the fees are too high and it's a hassle.
	Right.
	Anyway, he is carping at me for not answering his notes, generally speaking.
	Well, don't feel bad because John doesn't answer my notes either.
	No, I do.
	Rarely.
	Rarely.
	No.
	That's not true.
	No, it's very true.
	I'm probably one of the best.
	At what?
	Ignoring people's emails?
	At answering emails.
	If I open it.
	If you open it, yeah.
	Because here's your thing.
	I know you too well.
	Your thinking is, oh, I opened it.
	I might as well do something with it.
	But most of the time, I think you just ignore it.
	Jeff Wolfers in London, 33333, will be our other third executive producer for show 4511.
	Here's a few bucks to help you clean up your diseased website.
	I love Leo, but hate that F-head Jarvis too.
	We've got a lot of interesting notes about people like Jeff Jarvis.
	Well, it turns out that he's...
	So he pretends that he's some hoity-toity professor, but he only has a bachelor degree, and he's teaching some experimental program.
	And by the way, he owns Google stock.
	He discloses it, but really?
	You're going to defend Google while you own stock in the company?
	Yeah.
	Oh, I didn't know that.
	Yeah.
	Learn something new every day.
	Working my way toward knighthood and eventually, who knows, I might be the Lord of London.
	J-S-Y-K. I'm a denier, so give me an It's a Science and an L-G-Y. Till next time, shut up, slaves!
	Okay, so he wants a Dr.
	Kiki, I presume?
	Would that be a Dr.
	Kiki?
	Yeah, I'm thinking.
	Oh, shoot.
	Hold on a second.
	I'm woeful.
	Learn how to use a soundboard.
	I don't know what you're doing, man.
	You suck, boy.
	Shut up already!
	Science!
	Yay!
	Do you need a karma as well?
	I give him one.
	Might as well give him a karma.
	You've got karma.
	Science!
	And an extra science.
	Greg, our Dentite Greg Birch, Black Knight Greg in Port Angeles, Washington, $300.
	Dear Nighthawk and Eagle Claw, thanks for your sub-meta reporting and news ninjitsu.
	Also, your deconstructive kung fu is very powerful.
	Keep fighting from the fortress in the foothills, the stronghold on the strait, the castle on the coast.
	Port Angeles, Washington.
	Black Knight Prime Sir Greg Birch.
	My birthday is the 6th.
	And by the way, Eric DeShill is on the 18th.
	Which is a ways away, but we should try to remember that.
	I just saw Rick Perry on television welcoming the president at Bergstrom Airport.
	He's not even at the event I was invited to.
	Was Perry supposed to be at the event?
	Yes!
	Well, he's got to welcome the president.
	So that event sounds like it's going to be a total dog.
	Well, it's over now, I guess.
	Maybe they raced them from the event to the airport.
	Red lights and sirens, baby.
	Yeah, true.
	Liam Hemmings in Menton, someplace or other.
	$250.
	I don't think I have a note from him.
	Let me see.
	Hemmings.
	H-E-M-M-I-N-G. H-E-M-M-I-N-G-S. If I had more time in the day, I could do this.
	No, just...
	No, no, no.
	Nothing.
	Nothing?
	But if he has something to say, send a note in, Liam.
	250.
	Christopher O'Brien in Brighton, Massachusetts.
	Nuts.
	22307.
	Hey, John and Adam, I've been listening to you guys for the past year or so, and I'm tired of feeling like a freeloading douchebag.
	Please accept my PayPal balance, which is a great idea, as a start to my knighthood.
	The quality content you provide is certainly worth this much and even more.
	Keep up the good work.
	Please dedouche me and send some karma to my family.
	Thank you, too.
	You've been dedouched.
	You've got karma.
	Two more associate executive producers, including David Dolson, Sir David Dolson, actually in Houston, Texas, 20202.
	Some much-needed job karma for myself and girlfriend would be appreciated.
	I hope the Google blacklisting debacle gets solved.
	Love the show, David.
	You've got karma.
	And Marjorie Papichio, I think it's Papichio.
	Papichio.
	Mount Laurel, Jersey, New Jersey.
	New Jersey.
	200 bucks.
	Donations from my husband, Matt.
	Please wish him a happy birthday, so you can make sure he's on the list.
	We could really use some living together karma since our jobs keep us apart during the week.
	It's been 10 months!
	Wow.
	It would be nice to live together again.
	Aw.
	I love the show.
	Aw.
	Thank you.
	Keep up the great work, Marjorie and Matt.
	Oh, wow.
	That sucks.
	That's another part of the American dream.
	Yeah, right.
	That mac and cheese.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Here's some living together karma for both of y'all.
	You've got karma.
	Wow.
	I feel bad about that.
	Anyway, that will be our executive and associate executive producers for show 511.
	Hope that everybody notices.
	We can go back to dvorak.org slash NA. Or the new exact mirror of that is at donate.curry.com.
	Yeah, just in case.
	And you should also make donation.curry.com in case people get confused with the same thing.
	Okay.
	Not like Dvorak by itself is not confusing.
	No, I agree, but when I was writing the newsletter, which I hope everybody opened and read because we had some good stuff in there, when I was writing the newsletter, I wrote donation.curry.com.
	It made sense to me, and then I said, oh, donate, okay.
	No, I'll fix that up.
	But meanwhile, we have invested almost six years of mind control programming in...
	So we want to make sure that you go there.
	And put this on your LinkedIn.
	Thank you very much to our executive producers and associate executive producers.
	Really, try it out.
	Put it on your LinkedIn.
	See what kind of response you get.
	You might even get a gig out of it.
	Who the hell knows?
	Yeah.
	The only way to find out is by doing it.
	No Agenda producers are hiding in the craziest places.
	And of course, everybody out there, you need to help us.
	Talk to me at the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	View.
	Water.
	Order.
	Shut up, flame.
	Now, we had discussed the six-week FBI cycle, And something interesting happened as it popped up six weeks after the three-week interruption, which is really only three weeks after the lighting of the fireworks in Boston.
	And this was in Minnesota, where it's gotten so sad.
	Now, maybe there's just a different division in Minnesota.
	It's gotten so sad they are going to old geezers in trailers and arresting them.
	And Diane Sawyer had the story, of course, so you know when it's on ABC, you know it's fake.
	Or at least they're compromised, so they'll just propagate whatever is necessary.
	Diane only slightly drunk today.
	And tonight, also in the news, just three weeks after the Boston bombing, the FBI says they have broken up another terror plot.
	A terror plot.
	This is a single guy in a trailer with an American flag flying outside of his trailer upside down.
	Terror plot.
	And this one, reportedly a man with ties to an American militia group.
	They say he had a cache of weapons and explosives.
	So who was his target?
	ABC's senior justice correspondent, Pierre Thomas, on that case.
	Pierre!
	The FBI is describing this man as a potential domestic terrorist.
	Potential.
	Buford Rogers was arrested at his mobile home about two hours west of Minneapolis late last week after authorities allegedly fouled pipe bombs, Molotov cocktails for starting fires.
	Allegedly.
	The Romanian AKM assault rifle like the one seen here.
	So you have to imagine this story.
	They're showing a YouTube video of someone shooting an AK-47, and the guy looks all scary, but it's not this guy.
	The guy who they arrested is toothless.
	And this is like, it's like the one shown here!
	The Romanian AKM assault rifle like the one seen here.
	With an AK-47, particularly if it's modified to automatic.
	This is an expert for ABC. If that's the case, you can kill dozens of people in a minute or two.
	Thank you for that information.
	FBI and local police say they moved quickly against Rogers, a militia member, because he was planning attacks against local residents, possibly including government officials.
	You ready?
	You ready to hear the guy?
	Here he comes, the big scary militia with pipe bombs and AK-47s.
	His family says the charges are bogus.
	We have never done a violent thing like that in our lives.
	On his Facebook page two years ago, Rogers, who says he founded the Black Snake Militia, spoke of a coming war with the government.
	Okay, now, you ready?
	Because if I had...
	I could be the exact same guy if I was missing one tooth...
	Just listening to what they found suspicious from two years ago on his Facebook page, I'm getting arrested tomorrow.
	I just need to be missing one tooth.
	Allegedly writing, NWO, New World Order, has taken all of your freedoms.
	Right to bear arms, freedom of speech.
	Together we can fight back.
	We've got to arrest this son of a bitch.
	Oh man, this is terrible.
	By the way, can I interject here?
	Yeah, sure.
	They go and they find all the stuff and then they claim they found Molotov cocktails.
	Which is basically...
	You know what a Molotov cocktail is?
	Yeah, it's a bottle.
	Filled with gasoline or some other explosive flammable.
	With a rag stuffed in it.
	Cleaning fluid, essentially.
	Soaked in the material.
	So in other words, in his room there, he had...
	Bottles of gasoline with a rag, which means the gasoline is evaporating into the room, stinking up the place 24-7, I guess.
	I don't know how he sleeps in there.
	That would be a Molotov cocktail.
	This is bullcrap.
	Yes.
	Like his family said, bogus.
	Except they should have said bogative.
	So if that doesn't frighten you enough, because you have to be scared, slave, how about the high school kid makes IEDs?
	Oh, that's a good one.
	This story is such bullcrap.
	I want to remind everybody that we, on this program, showed you when they redefined IED. And everything now has to become an IED, an improvised explosive device.
	No longer is the cherry bomb, which I think this was, but it has to be an IED because it sounds scary, but not if you're a housekeeping.
	What can relieve some parents' minds this morning is police are saying that this teenager wasn't planning out on carrying any attacks, nor was he planning on carrying any attacks at the high school.
	Can she speak English, this woman?
	Did you just hear what she said?
	She can't even read her own script.
	They're planning on out and carrying attacks.
	I've run into this before with these newsreaders.
	This is funny.
	It's very funny how she says that, actually.
	What can relieve some parents' minds this morning is police are saying that this teenager wasn't planning out on carrying any attacks.
	Wasn't planning out on carrying any attacks.
	Oh, man.
	What a botch.
	I bet you that was on the script.
	That's dyslexia.
	It could be, but I bet she was reading from the prompt and that's how it came out.
	You should medicate that woman.
	Nor was he planning on carrying any attacks at the high school.
	Nor was he planning on carrying out any attacks.
	It's just horrible.
	But you can bet that investigators are asking who might have known at this school.
	Parents told police that his friends taught him how to make these bombs.
	Here's a little more information about the teenager.
	His name is Joshua Prater, 18 years old and a senior at Marcos Deniza.
	This is a photo as he was arrested last night.
	At this point, police don't know what he was doing with this IED or planning to do, if anything.
	We do know that there was at least one device.
	It was found by the cleaning lady at his house.
	She said she saw something in Prater's room that looked like a bomb and other materials to make more IEDs, took photos, then took a complete bomb in her car and brought it to the nearest fire station.
	Exactly.
	So, okay, let's just review.
	A housekeeper.
	They have a housekeeper, first of all.
	I said, hey, what is this?
	It looks like a bomb.
	Maybe I should take a picture.
	You know what?
	I'm going to take this bomb in my hands, in my car, to the police.
	Yeah, that's the housekeeper way.
	I think the American Association of Housekeepers have all agreed that if you find a bomb in your client's house, then you need to take that in your hands to the police.
	Yes, sir.
	They had an x-ray, and inside they saw that it was indeed a valid IED, or an improvised explosive device.
	A valid IED, which means...
	As opposed to an invalid IED? Which means, well, it's just like a weapon of mass destruction, which means, what was it, a quarter of an ounce of powder?
	That's a weapon of mass destruction, so a valid IED could be a ladyfinger.
	It was something that, you know, wasn't big, but it was big enough that could cause some very serious injuries, if not the death of somebody.
	Yeah.
	Just like this gun can kill people in a matter of minutes.
	You know, I wonder, I should put this in the red book, I wonder when at some point where, this will happen at least in the school level, where some kid will have a rubber band gun.
	In class.
	And he'll end up being expelled.
	But this is already happening with kids who have guns that blow bubbles.
	They're getting in trouble for that.
	Some girl...
	I mean, these are all stories.
	I don't even bring them up on the show.
	She did a science experiment on the school grounds with baking soda.
	And then the top popped off.
	And then, oh, she was expelled.
	Kicked out of school.
	Kicked out of school, yeah.
	We're doing a science experiment.
	This is nuts.
	When I was a kid, we had chemistry sets.
	You can't even buy one of these anymore.
	Oh, man.
	Remember that when you had sodium pentothal in your chemistry set?
	We had a lot of potassium permanganate.
	You could mix it.
	In fact, this is still a good experiment.
	Can you not buy chemistry sets anymore?
	The one that we used to have when I was a kid.
	You know, you can't do that.
	It's no good.
	The kid's going to hurt themselves.
	Let's take a look at the Chem 3000.
	This looks like the deluxe model chemistry set.
	Let's see what's in here, if you can actually get anything good.
	What is this chemistry?
	Why did I get like a capture?
	What's the name of it?
	I'll look it up.
	What is it?
	It's the Chem 3000 chemistry set.
	It's very expensive.
	It's like $300.
	Okay.
	Mystery sets aren't cheap.
	No, no.
	But what's in it?
	Is there anything good in it?
	Here's one.
	You can get a CMC3000 for $229 at Fat Brain.
	I keep getting a capture pop-up from crap.
	Amazon has it.
	Free shipping.
	Amazon Prime has it for $218.
	That's a steal.
	All right.
	What's in it?
	Easy for you to say.
	What's in it?
	I'm trying to find out.
	My browser just went into that.
	Can I make meth from this lab?
	Let's see.
	It has a lot of beakers and cylinders, but it doesn't have any chemicals.
	My browser just went into not responding.
	Never mind.
	All I did was click on the...
	It's not that important.
	It's not that important.
	Whatever.
	Yeah.
	I guarantee it's got nothing going on.
	Some beakers and some Florence Flask and Erlenmeyer, that kind of thing.
	It helps you determine how vinegary the wine is.
	Maybe you can do that.
	I just got an email from Mike V. I've been listening for half a year.
	Love your work.
	Unfortunately, I'm a student and unpaid intern.
	I don't have a damn cent to send you guys.
	This may change in the future unless you get bagged and tagged before I work a real job.
	Anyway, in episode 511, I hear you saying you had sources for the real story on the October surprise Benghazi attack.
	I'm an aspiring journalist and I want them.
	Yeah.
	Dude, I don't want you to die before you can make a donation.
	Good point.
	Yeah.
	We're talking about being bagged and tagged.
	No, no, no.
	So the War on Crazy is kind of coming to an interesting head.
	As the DSM-5 now comes out, there's not one, but there's two books.
	The story of Woe is the story about the DSM. And there's another book called Cracked.
	And there's this new story which has been going around, which is actually propaganda and PR for the DSM. But the way it's being tweeted is people thinking like, oh, this is fantastic.
	The government wants to get off the DSM. They want to change to something else.
	But no one, it's like, people don't read.
	They just see a headline, and the headline is...
	Government wants to distance itself from DSM. Actually, National Institute of Mental Health abandoning the DSM mind hacks!
	No, that's not what's happening.
	In fact, if anything, the government's getting in the business.
	The DSM is not a government operation.
	It is a complete collaboration between the pharmaceutical industry and the so-called doctors.
	And it's a very nice relationship they've had for many, many years.
	And I think the government, they want to implement something called the RDOC, which is the Research Domain Criteria, which is an idea.
	It's nothing more than idea right now.
	No one is distancing themselves.
	If anything, the National Institute of Health is promoting DSM, so you all know that there's a new version out.
	It'll take 10 years before anything is done in this research domain criteria, and they're not going to do it.
	They're not going to do it.
	That's just crazy talk, if you think it is.
	Here is a nice piece from an interview on the Today program, BBC Radio 4, the author of the book Cracked, and the guy on the phone who's in this interview, in this conversation, is a psychologist.
	He's a member of the Royal Academy of Psychology.
	That's what's being debated, and I think there's another really important issue that needs to be raised with respect to all of this, and this is to do with, and it's a rather thorny area, but it's to do with the links between the pharmaceutical industry and psychiatry.
	Because your suspicion is that you medicalise it, give it a name, and then insurance companies pay up, particularly in the United States, and they'll pay for people to have drugs for it.
	Well, yes.
	I mean, psychiatrists get paid more money from the pharmaceutical industry than doctors in any other medical speciality.
	And when we look at DSM-5, of the 29 people who put that manual together, a full 21 have had strong financial ties to the industry, including the chair and the vice chair.
	Well, absolutely.
	So you're agreeing with that?
	No, absolutely.
	I want to comment on it.
	Let me just reiterate that DSM is an American system.
	A lot of the criticisms and comments that are made in the book and that are being rehearsed by Dr.
	Davis at the moment relate to the American system.
	He made that comment.
	A rather general statement about psychiatrists have more money from drug companies than other doctors or whatever.
	That may or may not be true in the States.
	It absolutely is not true within the context of the UK and the National Health Service.
	Psychiatrists are working under difficult circumstances in our National Health Service.
	Their motivation is not to please drug companies or get payments.
	They're doing the very best they can for patients, trying to balance Are the outcomes necratic subject to the same kinds of controlled testing of other drugs?
	Are you bored or something?
	No, I'm playing the lament this guy's saying because it's obvious that the UK system is honest and they would never stoop to something like taking extra money because they're paid so much.
	Well, wait ten seconds.
	Disrepresentation in the book is the claim that psychiatric treatments don't work and this sort of thing.
	There's actually very good evidence that the range of psychiatric treatments that we have for psychiatric disorders Are roughly the same level of effectiveness as the range of treatments for physical disorders.
	Let me give last word to James Davis then.
	James, you're on to something but maybe overcooked the conclusion.
	No, no, I completely disagree with Nick.
	Nick has received money from the industry as many senior psychiatrists in Britain have, so I disagree with him on that.
	The DSM is highly influential here in Britain and I do agree that antidepressants work.
	I simply say, which is consistent with the research, that antidepressants work not for the reasons people believe.
	They largely work because of their placebo effects and not because of any chemicals in the actual pill itself.
	Talk about a pissing fight.
	Oh, yeah.
	So I received a very cool email about that.
	Let me see.
	Where is it?
	Here it is.
	Very cool email.
	Hey, Adam.
	Writes Garrett, My brother hit me in the mouth a while ago.
	He suggested I should email you after my run-in with Haldol.
	You brought it up again in the last episode, so I feel compelled to tell you my story.
	You guys are absolutely 100% right about that shit.
	I got really drunk on New Year's, ended up in the hospital after getting beat up by staff at a club in the back room.
	That's our audience, ladies and gentlemen.
	Right on.
	I don't remember any of it, but I woke up the next day in the hospital after they had injected me with Haldol.
	After a few hours, I started getting insane side effects.
	My neck was contorting to the left as far as it could go, and my teeth would not stop grinding.
	I think I even chipped some teeth after hearing them start cracking.
	I kid you not.
	I wanted to die.
	It lasted days.
	I had to call out of work for three days because of the side effects.
	I was also extremely dizzy for those three days, and I couldn't drive I was so dizzy.
	Haldol should be illegal.
	I would not wish it upon my worst enemy.
	After the doctors told me they had injected me with Haldol, I proceeded to explain that they should never give that shit to anybody.
	I told them I knew all about the side effects from a podcast that I listened to.
	No agenda.
	Great.
	Thanks for propagating the formula.
	There's no agenda.
	Oh, that show's just crazy talk.
	So, sticking on the crazy, because this is a...
	I don't think we've spoken about the FOD, which is a very, very serious syndrome that is spoken about in the DSM. Very, very serious, John.
	Are you familiar with the FOD? Uh, FOD? Yeah, FOD. That means foreign object debris.
	No, female orgasmic disorder.
	Oh, this is where a woman, uh...
	No, no, you'd think.
	You think that she can't stop, you mean?
	Yeah, yeah.
	No, no, no, no.
	Female orgasmic disorder, or FOD, is the persistent or recurrent inability of a woman to have an orgasm after adequate sexual arousal and sexual stimulation.
	How about you're not doing it right?
	Isn't there another word that we used to always use?
	Frigid?
	According to the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, this lack of response can be primary...
	As in a woman has never had an orgasm or secondary...
	That would be frigid.
	That's the old word.
	Why are they changing their tried and true terms?
	Because then you can give them something.
	This is where we need to have the Viagra for women.
	Oh, I see.
	You can't give them something for that.
	You've got to come up with a term.
	Let's see if there's a treatment.
	Okay.
	They actually are testing Sildenafil, Viagra, on women's sexual response.
	Of course, why not?
	It seems like talk therapy.
	Milk it.
	Talk therapy seems to be the way to go.
	Really?
	Talk therapy.
	Talk therapy, really.
	And then Lauren Hill.
	You know who Lauren Hill is?
	Yes.
	You liar.
	You liar.
	Lauren Hill, very famous R&B singer.
	Kind of more like a reggae singer, actually.
	We discussed her on the show previously.
	She had a tax problem.
	Lauren Hill is a beautiful woman.
	Awesome songs.
	Women love Lauren Hill, by the way.
	So she was convicted of tax fraud.
	And a little additional sentencing there from the judge.
	Grammy Award winning singer Lauren Hill has been ordered by a judge to, quote, undergo counselling because of her conspiracy theories.
	What was her conspiracy theory?
	That the music industry oppresses people with actual talent in favour of pumping out mindless crap.
	Yes.
	So she has to undergo, because she said the music industry is run by the Illuminati.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And so the judge said, no, you really need to undergo...
	Shoot her up with hell and all this crazy shit.
	But it's getting a little frightening when you just do crazy talk.
	I'm paying my taxes on time.
	I'll tell you that.
	Because you don't want to get in trouble with the law because the minute they can get anything on you, then they bring out all the crazy stuff.
	Can you imagine what a treasure trove they would have on me?
	Oh yeah, you'd be worth a lot.
	To the guys who just get a kick out of it.
	So Lauren Hill, this is like when they get James, but they get these music people who are usually managed.
	It's not as though they do their taxes, but they're managed by a group of hangers-on.
	Right.
	And they always like to catch one and make a big deal about it so they can scare the public into paying their taxes.
	This is very common.
	Every year it happens to someone or other.
	What was the actor that they were going to throw in jail?
	Wesley Snipes.
	Wesley Snipes, yeah.
	He was like a big...
	James Brown was one of them.
	They seem to be picking on the black folk more than...
	Unusual.
	I'm sure if they wanted to get some serious money, they'd go over there and hit one of the venture capital guys that everyone knows or tries to get a lot of publicity.
	It won't happen, won't happen.
	Of course not.
	And here's the president at Ohio State.
	We, the people, chose to do these things together because we know this country cannot accomplish great things if we pursue nothing greater than our own individual ambition.
	Unfortunately, you've grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate sinister entity that's at the root of all our problems.
	But enough about the no agenda show.
	Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works.
	Oh, I'm gumming up.
	They'll warn that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner.
	It's under my bed.
	I did.
	You should reject these voices.
	Reject!
	Reject them.
	Reject those voices.
	Because what they suggest is that our...
	What?
	I said, this is a very funny speech.
	It is.
	A great and creative and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham.
	Sham!
	With which we can't be trusted.
	No!
	No, in fact, I'll tell you why you can't be trusted.
	Here is then-candidate Barack Obama, Barry Sotero, in 2007.
	This is just poetic.
	The administration also puts forward a false choice.
	He's talking about the Bush administration.
	Between the liberties we cherish and the security we provide, I will provide our intelligence and law enforcement agencies with the tools they need to track and take out the terrorists without undermining our Constitution and our freedom.
	That's called Facebook.
	That means no more illegal wiretapping of American citizens.
	No, we just sweep it all up, record everything.
	Have you noticed how many people are surprised by this news?
	That every conversation you make on any phone device, and I will include this on Skype, is stored.
	I mean...
	What kind of quantum storage do you have to have?
	That's why they have to...
	I think they're going to build these machines in Utah and Colorado that are like...
	They're just massive, giant computers that are just doing...
	They're actually storage systems.
	That's LEMC, which is a part of the...
	A lot of people believe it's a CIA front.
	Anytime you have a three-letter company, there's usually some agency thing involved.
	There's probably NSA, though, with the EMC group, and they're just throwing hard disks, piling them up.
	I think there was something very creative about the idea.
	It goes like you would just record everything, and then if you can get a warrant for a wiretap, it goes back in time.
	You see, I don't think that's how it's happening.
	I disagree with that assessment.
	I'm sticking to it.
	Okay.
	The way I see it happening is you're on AT&T. AT&T is storing everything.
	It's part of the deal.
	You're on Verizon.
	Verizon is storing everything.
	So everyone is responsible for their own bit.
	I don't think they can be trusted.
	Well, I mean, we can't...
	It's a lot of storage, and AT&T doesn't want to store anything.
	They just want to make money.
	I believe it's going to be centralized, and it's going to be all done in reverse order, so you get the wiretap.
	They go after you.
	Now it's like a search warrant.
	The search warrant is searching stuff that's already been in your house.
	It's not doing anything in the future.
	I mean, in the olden days, because of the nature, you couldn't record these conversations.
	The wiretap would give you, in the future conversations, you get the wiretap on the gangster, and now you can start listening in.
	With rules, you know, he's not talking about...
	He's just talking to his daughter.
	We have to stop listening, which I've always found bogative.
	But now, you get the...
	It's more like a search warrant.
	You get to search the old conversations.
	I personally think it's genius.
	So when you hear this 40 seconds left on this clip, everything the president said he would not do, he's doing.
	This is just proof of the upside-down nature of the world.
	Black is white, white is black, yes is no, truth is lies.
	Without undermining our Constitution and our freedom.
	That means no more illegal wiretapping of American citizens.
	Okay, so that's not true.
	No more national security letters to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime.
	Wow.
	I mean, I have never heard him talk about national security letters since this video.
	I haven't either.
	It's never discussed.
	He must have gotten one.
	Yeah.
	Well, or he found out how cool they were.
	It's like, oh, he put that in the speech.
	These things are awesome.
	No more tracking citizens who do nothing more than protest a misguided war.
	But if you protest anything else, we're tracking you.
	No more ignoring the law when it is inconvenient.
	That is not who we are.
	No.
	And it's not what is necessary to defeat the terrorists.
	The FISA court works.
	Oh, that one hurt.
	That one really, it works.
	The separation of powers works.
	Our constitution works.
	Well, then don't try and mess with it then.
	The rule again set an example for the world that the law is not subject to the whims of stubborn rulers and that justice is not arbitrary.
	This administration acts like violating civil liberties is the way to enhance our security.
	It is not.
	There are no shortcuts to protecting America.
	Which is exactly what he's doing.
	Yeah, no, he's worse than Bush.
	This is why the left is so confused by this guy.
	Well, speaking...
	Okay, so I'm glad you brought that up.
	So when it comes to Obama bots, like a real lefty leftist, Celebrity.
	Chevy Chase has got to be a prime example.
	Now, Chevy Chase, for those of you who don't know, in different countries who listen to this program, he was on Saturday Night Live, very famous actor-comedian, and he's done all the National Lampoon Vacation series.
	Things took a turn for the worse for him.
	Remember when he did that talk show?
	Yeah.
	Actually, the talk show, which failed miserably because he's not a host.
	From the first show, it was the worst thing ever.
	And a lot of people always forget that Carson had a little bit to do with burying him.
	By making the comment that everyone picked up on, Chevy Chase couldn't ad-lib a fart after a bean dinner.
	I'd never heard that one.
	Yes, and that's what Carson said, and that was that everyone started paying attention, and then Chase was done.
	Was it on Fox or something?
	I think it was on Fox.
	Anyway, so We Are Change caught up with Chevy Chase, and I mean, you listen to this, and you almost want to ask the question.
	Where is it?
	Here, you almost want to ask yourself.
	From Cornell.
	Listen to Chevy Chase about President Obama and his policies and tell me if this guy is drunk, not drunk, or just confused and insane.
	Just one question.
	I was wondering if you had an opinion about Barack Obama promising to close down Gitmo, but not close it.
	It's a very simple question, right?
	It's a simple question.
	Do you have an opinion on the promise to close down Guantanamo Bay or not?
	Do you have an opinion about Barack Obama saying he was going to close down Gitmo but not closing it?
	What do you think about that?
	You know, it's funny because what I like about Barack Obama is that he chooses his priorities as he learns more.
	And I think that he realized that In this given situation that recently came up, New York was not the place.
	A court-martial law situation was better.
	Here's a guy who's really young, feeling his way along.
	I voted for him.
	I very much like him, but I do feel that he's a young man, and that therefore he has to, in a way, feel his way along.
	There might have been a president who's 67, like me, who already knew exactly how he felt.
	So I don't hold it against him at all.
	Are you a little bit worried about American reputation for torture and holding people without charging them?
	No more than any other country, frankly.
	Yes.
	Because I... I worry about that for anybody.
	But, you know, I hate to read that a cop just shot a kid.
	You know what I mean?
	It doesn't mean I'm against the police or cops.
	It's just that certain people in certain positions are in that position so that they can have power and shoot a gun.
	You know?
	So, I mean, I have my opinions about those things.
	And the whole concept of torture, no matter where it comes from, is awful to me.
	But I'm not any more worried about it coming from us than anywhere else.
	I'm not there.
	I'm not seeing it.
	I just read what I can.
	I just read what I can.
	This guy is...
	But this is the confused left.
	Yeah, because they're short-circuited.
	Totally short-circuited, and they end up talking like this, babbling about stuff and trying to make excuses when there is none.
	It's quite funny.
	I don't think he was drunk.
	No, short-circuited is exactly what it is.
	People, of course, inherently, they know their body tells them when things are not right.
	And so here's, you know, did you see the nominations?
	It kind of slipped under the radar, one of those things that you never know.
	It's like, whoop, what happened there?
	About President Obama's nominee for Commerce Secretary.
	Did you see this at all?
	Did you find out?
	Did you hear about this?
	Yeah, I think so.
	The President today named his choice for Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker.
	She's a veteran of the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
	She was also, importantly, an early supporter of Obama's 04 Senate campaign, coming through with money when he was struggling.
	She has a reported net worth of close to $2 billion.
	The Pritzker family made their fortune in the Hyatt Hotel chain.
	They've given away a fortune as well.
	Their philanthropy includes the Pritzker Prize for Architecture, And the Pritzker Military Library in Chicago.
	So this is heralded as, oh, you know, it's fantastic, you know, philanthropist.
	This woman, besides getting a huge bailout with her family's SNL loan, the SNL bank, they run the Hyatt Hotels, which is the worst.
	It's like a slave quarters for particularly Mexicans.
	You cannot drive down Sunset in California without seeing Mexicans boycotting the Hyatt Hotel on Sunset.
	Because they even have HyattHurts.org.
	They've got to boycott the Hyatt.
	This woman is horrible.
	And why?
	She's been nominated as the Commerce Secretary because she raised hundreds of millions of dollars for the president.
	This is such an obvious payoff.
	Yeah, so she's a bundler, and so she gets this bullcrap job.
	It's not even a bullcrap job.
	I can't imagine you're even showing up.
	She becomes a part of the administration.
	Now, here's him actually in the Rose Guard, just fawning all over her.
	First, I'm nominating Penny Pritzker to serve as my Secretary of Commerce.
	That's a real job, John.
	That's not like a bullcrap ambassador thing.
	Secretary of Commerce.
	Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
	She's not going to do the job.
	But you get to do stuff.
	You have power when you're a Secretary of Commerce.
	And they're going on vacations together.
	Penny is one of our country's most distinguished business leaders.
	She's got more than 25 years of management experience in industries including real estate, finance, and hospitality.
	Hospitality.
	Hospitality.
	She's built companies from the ground up.
	From her family's money.
	She knows from experience that no government...
	What companies does she build from the ground up?
	The Hyatt.
	The program alone can take the place of a great...
	Hyatt was there long before her.
	I know.
	It's not true.
	That's why it's so funny.
	Nor...
	She knows that what we can do is to give every business and every worker the best possible chance to succeed by making America a magnet for good jobs.
	You really need to see this hyatthurts.org.
	This is not the general perception of this woman, her family, or the Hyatt Hotels.
	And Penny understands that just as great companies strengthen the communities around them, strong communities and skilled workers also help companies thrive.
	So she's been an extraordinary civic leader in our shared hometown of Chicago.
	She served as a member of my Jobs Council.
	She was the driving force behind Skills for America's Future, which is a program that brings together companies and community colleges to shape And prepare skills-based training programs for workers that are...
	Slaves!
	...tied into the businesses that potentially will hire them.
	Did you hear that sentence?
	Yeah, potentially.
	Potentially will hire them.
	She also, her...
	Which bank?
	What was the name of it?
	Maybe it was called...
	Oh, Superior Bank.
	That's what it was.
	Huge subprime lender.
	Folded.
	Yeah, she was the chairman of this bank.
	Yes!
	And the joke is that it says here, there's a quote, I've gotten this from the wiki, from the Book of Knowledge.
	Quote in the New York Times, a Pritzker family had observed Pritzker was trapped in a deal of her uncle's making.
	Penny got sucked into this.
	This was really the legacy of Jay.
	So, in other words, she's like a dummy.
	She got sucked into something.
	I think that's actually pretty telling.
	She also co-founded The Parking Spot.
	What's that?
	The fastest growing company of off-site airport parking management.
	With CEO Martin Nesbitt.
	And she's always got a partner who really does the work.
	She's just the money bags.
	She's worth $1.8 billion.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And so this is where the short circuit happens.
	People are seeing this.
	You know, Chevy Chase, too.
	He's like, this is really weird because, you know, like, isn't the richest dude like Mitt Romney?
	No.
	No.
	No, look what the real wealth is.
	It's like Elon Musk.
	I'm tired of this dude, too.
	Elon, how much money he has gotten from the government to build these toys?
	Yeah.
	$450 million for the battery car.
	I think he's actually suing the government now because he didn't get enough money for his...
	I don't know, what was it?
	I have it in here.
	Did you see?
	This is like...
	Paid for his rocket.
	Yeah, here's SolarCity.
	Okay, here it is.
	Um...
	So, SolarCity is, God knows, I guess we're all going to live on sun energy.
	It's going to be great.
	So, SolarCity got $95.5 million as a stimulus grant, and now he's suing the government because he feels he should have gotten more.
	What gall.
	Yeah.
	Well, he's going to find himself with a tit in a ringer if he keeps this kind of idea up.
	It's not going to work.
	You don't do it that way.
	Did you read the article in the New York Times, I think it was yesterday, where they just took Kleiner Perkins to task?
	No, no, no.
	Tell me.
	Tell me.
	Oh, you should.
	It's a great article.
	For one thing, Kleiner Perkins was, because John Doors was an advisor to the president when Fisker got like $100 million.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	$500 million.
	$500 million of loans, and now they're going broke.
	No, they are broke.
	Keep correcting me, dear.
	Well, I know this because Ray Lane, who was on our board, he left our board to do this whole Fisker deal.
	That's how I'm intimately knowledgeable about what happened here.
	Well, so they're taking, apparently, the whole, all the last funds, you know, the last big money-making fund that they did was in the mid-90s.
	With Google.
	And everyone's been less and less, and now they're losing money in all these funds.
	Yeah.
	The way this works is, for people out there who don't know how venture capital companies work, if you have a few million dollars, it takes actually maybe $10 million minimum to get in on what they call a fund, and that's where they put together a package of companies, and then they sell it to the investors, and now you own all these little companies, and as they go public, it starts to disperse the money back, and you get the X percentage back.
	It used to be like you used to get three times your money back, and then it became like you got double your money, and then you got...
	I was like, mine is negative.
	Ever since Al Gore was brought in by John Doerr.
	And Bono.
	And they went green.
	They went all the green tech.
	Green tech.
	In fact, there's a quote in the article about John Doerr saying, green tech is going to be bigger than anything has ever been.
	And so now they're losing their ass on green.
	And you can see this coming down Broadway and this bullcrapper, Al Gore, apparently is always floating around the office over there with five bodyguards.
	No, that's not true.
	That's not true.
	He has two sheriffs.
	Because I've been there when he was there.
	So he has two sheriffs?
	Two sheriffs, yeah.
	You mean government employees?
	Sheriffs.
	People have pay taxes on?
	Sheriffs, yeah.
	Yeah, he's got sheriffs.
	I thought he had bodyguards that he would either hire the federal government.
	Well, no one who was with him looked like a bodyguard, but he's got two sheriffs.
	One always sits outside in the front, at the front door, literally, where you can't park.
	Of course, he's parked there.
	So he has a driver.
	So maybe the driver's a bodyguard.
	But he has three people.
	Two sheriffs and his driver.
	He doesn't have four.
	He's got three.
	Whatever the case is, he apparently likes to wander around with cops.
	I don't know.
	He's the green guy that screwed them over.
	Somewhere I did an interview with John Doerr, Ray Lane.
	There was another guy.
	I did a podcast about it.
	And I put it out.
	And it was all about how the Green Tech, that was when they started the Green Tech Fund.
	This must have been 2006.
	And it was just all about how fantastic it was going to be.
	Well, good luck with that.
	And so, yeah.
	Now, did you really say tit in a ringer?
	Where does that expression come from?
	What is the etymology of tit in a ringer?
	Well, the original washing machines used to have these rollers.
	That's how you'd wring out the water.
	Today's washing machine, they use a high-speed spinning action.
	So the clothes in the washing machine get spun and spun and spun really fast and it goes on for like five minutes of spinning.
	And the centrifugal force pushes the water through the holes and it dries the clothes.
	In the olden days, where they didn't have a spinning basket, they had just a tub that had things swishing back and forth to agitate the clothes.
	There was no way of spinning the water out.
	So you take the clothes out of these baskets and run it through the ringer, which is two rubber rollers that squeeze the water out of the clothes.
	Not that I've ever used one of these, by the way, but they're fascinating to look at.
	They squeeze the water out of the clothes and the imagination was as the woman was bending over to put the stuff in, her tit would get in the ringer.
	And it couldn't get it out.
	No!
	Yes, that's where Tid in a Ringer comes from.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	That right there is the true value of this podcast.
	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.
	John, thank you very much.
	You have enlightened my life with that story.
	But this is when you had...
	You must have had kind of saggy boobs.
	You have a few people to thank before he gets himself into trouble.
	Paul Darling, Westfield, the Massachusetts Nuts, $100.
	Sir Gear in Oslo.
	Nice.
	Always a pleasure to hear from him.
	It's going to be current status now, USD 800, and the next title to be donated to his daughter.
	We'll look forward to that.
	John Anderson in Lafayette, Louisiana, $100.
	Richard Troiano in Folsom, California.
	He makes an illusion about some sexual act against the Googlers.
	He said, take the blackballing that happened to us.
	He says it had the same thing happen to him before his blogging got canceled by the hosting account because Google would not listen to any of my complaints.
	Interesting.
	Wow.
	Eric Olson, Water Valley, Mississippi, $99.99.
	Dr.
	Sir Neninger, $99.91.
	He liked the cooking class stuff that we do on the show.
	Boulder, Colorado.
	Here's your 8888.
	And then we have another one of the donations from Capital Idea Radio in Cincinnati, Ohio, 8334.
	We're not reading these notes anymore, but he says, you guys are a bag of dicks.
	Five of twelve.
	All right.
	Perfect.
	Seven more donations where he calls us names.
	Okay.
	I'm down with that.
	It feels good.
	Can I say Jeff Marcy in Richmond Hill, Ontario, 75.
	Now, you've got to read this note because this was a huge compliment, I thought.
	When George Carlin died, I thought I'd never find the perfect dose of comedy with a wake-up poke in the eye, starting listening in November, and you guys are it!
	Wow.
	Take my PayPal balance and please give my wife and I some good baby karma she's expecting in November.
	Jeff from Toronto.
	You've got karma.
	Thank you.
	I mean, I don't think we're worthy, but I really do.
	I mean, I guess as a fallback, if there's nothing else out there.
	Brian Williams, Streamwood, Illinois, 7373.
	Brian Hall, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 7373.
	PayPal barfed on me the first time around, so I'll be succinct.
	Some Swazant Neuf karma might be appreciated.
	4.5 years of radio silence.
	And some CW karma, since I'm one of those universally despised no-code extras.
	And I'd like to get in the QRP CW game.
	Well?
	Handle Moses73DE.
	Stay tuned.
	Stay tuned.
	I'm working on something that is going to be very cool.
	A-A-T-I-Y. William, we will have some karma at the end for all the people who requested this.
	Yeah, for sure.
	Paul in Pennsylvania, William Bagdon.
	So interesting.
	Michael Bowling, Santa Barbara, California.
	Too many dicks, not enough Richards, he says.
	P.S. Bowling is pronounced like the ball, which is exactly the way I pronounce it.
	Jay Zucal, Los Angeles, California, 69-69.
	Charles Anderson, Sir Charles, actually, in Columbus, Ohio, 69-69.
	He's a knight, so he'll give some job hunting karma.
	Mm-hmm.
	You've got karma.
	Naveed Khan, Jersey City, New Jersey.
	Naveed from Jersey City.
	Wow.
	Eric Nagel, Bunschoten Utrecht.
	Bunschoten Utrecht.
	Utrecht, very good.
	Gregory Ball in Walsen, Tyne in some place.
	Tyne in...
	Let me open this up.
	UK. Tyne in where?
	Hmm.
	It's in the UK, I guess.
	I think so.
	Victor Gregg, Sir Victor Gregg to you in Decatur, Georgia, 6969.
	He's going to be at the Lomier Art Show in Lomier Garden in St.
	Louis for Mother's Day.
	Did 25% discount for No Agenda fans at the InsectWorks.com booth.
	All right.
	We're in game for that.
	Anthony Garlinger, Downers Grove, Illinois, 6969, calling us the guardians of reality that we are.
	Michael Kowalsik.
	Maybe.
	Hold on a second.
	Kowalczyk.
	Yeah, no, my spreadsheet got stuck.
	Well, jiggle it.
	I'm punching it.
	He's in Belle Meade, New Jersey.
	And he's going to request some caramel gum at the end.

	6969, dudes!
	Okay.
	Adam Reidenour in Kettering, Ohio, double nickels on the dime.
	Sam Menner, double nickels on the dime from Victoria.
	Actually, it looks like he gave two double nickels on the dime donations from Victoria, Australia.
	Eric Gunderson in Altoona, Wisconsin, double nickels on the dime.
	Martin Krupka, Jacksonville, Florida, double nickels on the dime.
	What is this, the double nickels on the dime day?
	Christy Pitts.
	Parts Unknown, Double Nickels on the Dime.
	Onward, Mr.
	Peabody and Natchitoche.
	Oh, come on.
	Come on.
	You can do it.
	Natchitoche or something.
	Was it?
	Natchitoche.
	Natchitoche.
	Louisiana, double nickels on the dime.
	Sir Dr.
	Sharkey in Jackson, Tennessee, double nickels on the dime.
	Eric Schmidt, not the Eric Schmidt, but the Eric Schmidt, the good one, in Frankfurt, double, oh, 5150.
	The good one.
	The non-evil one.
	The non-evil one.
	He says, already enough bashing of Eric Schmidt.
	Not related to that Schmidt, nor employed at Google.
	I wanted to clear my name.
	Todd LG in KT, Texas.
	5110.
	Thomas Kalinowski in Selden, New York.
	$50.50.
	And then we have a bunch of everyone else who comes in with $50, which is including Dan Dudas in Ohio.
	Gus Engstrom in Seattle, Washington.
	Brian Watson in Raleigh, North Carolina.
	That came in as a check.
	Brian Bateman in Portland, Oregon.
	Alan Bean, our friend, our knight over Sir Alan Bean in Oakland.
	And finally, Tim Chapman in Spokane, Washington.
	And Christopher Walker, parts unknown.
	I'm sorry, and Alan Alder in Rolling Hills, California.
	Who says, no infections with ham radio.
	S-73, W-6-V-A. I am working on something very cool that everyone can use.
	You can use it with walkie-talkies.
	You don't even need a ham radio license.
	I want to thank everybody who contributed to today's show, which did make up a little...
	Actually, I think it may have made up for...
	At least it made us feel better after the fiasco with our Dvorak.org slash NA. And hopefully Sunday will be as good.
	Sunday show.
	Now I got a note from you from Kathy Beauchamp.
	Am I supposed to do something with that?
	Well, Kathy Beauchamp, I don't know.
	Were we supposed to dame her?
	Was that the deal?
	And she didn't get damed?
	I don't know.
	It came in, like, this morning, just before we started the show, so I didn't get to write her back to find out.
	Oh, okay.
	So you just forwarded to me, like, let Adam deal with it?
	Is that what you did?
	Uh-huh.
	Okay.
	Hi, I'd like my credit and donation to count towards Leonard Small's knighthood.
	Ah, my donation was made on his behalf.
	A donation to the best podcasting users with its only birthday wish.
	Ah.
	I love him dearly, so I obliged.
	Why don't you put him on the birthday list?
	But when was his birthday?
	I don't know.
	I didn't have time to write her back.
	People, by the way, I want to mention to everyone that we kind of closed this off at midnight the day before Pacific time.
	Yeah.
	Because, yeah, in the morning when we're prepping for the show, and this is pretty much a nonstop process, I am continually astounded, dumbfounded perhaps, by people who think that, you know, we get up and like, oh, let's do a little show.
	I don't think anybody sees it that way.
	Yeah, no, people forget.
	Come on.
	Okay.
	Even your own family, I will wager, forgets how much work goes into it.
	Well, they probably don't think about it, but it's like, no, I got to use the TV. It's 10 o'clock tonight.
	I got to finish up these clips.
	And that's Mimi.
	So what are you doing?
	No, actually, no, she's going to say, what are you doing?
	I'm working on clips.
	I got to find some clips.
	I got no clips for the show.
	I got no clips.
	All right, I'll let you get back to your clips.
	You don't need to know about my broken arm.
	Does he have a broken arm?
	No.
	If she keeps talking that way, she'll have one.
	Well, thank you all so much.
	It did make up for the feeling, certainly, of the Google Restapo.
	Interesting how that works, that the minute you publish a column highlighting the issue that all of a sudden, it's fixed.
	No, I'll just say...
	I always said that you know people...
	I think not!
	What?
	Everyone should become a writer.
	I mean, it makes you feel better.
	Yeah, yeah.
	You got a beef?
	Write it up.
	As long as you don't sound like you're whining all the time.
	Well, yeah.
	Which is not easy.
	I think the only mistake that was made here was...
	You actually writing down something that I said, I'm sure I influenced you incorrectly, but you never should have said, isn't that a coincidence this happens right after I say that your glass sucks?
	That was not smart.
	Don't you agree?
	Probably not.
	You've got to do what you've got to do.
	Now, I got to wear the glasses, and we'll talk about it right after we're done with our...
	Oh, wow, okay.
	Dvorak.org slash N-A-R. It's your birthday, birthday!
	Hey, hey, hey!
	All right, so we start off with Kathy Beauchamp, who says happy birthday to Leonard Small.
	She loves you very much, Leonard.
	Also, Black Knight Greg Birch congratulated himself.
	He celebrated on the 6th.
	Marjorie Papicchio, husband Matt.
	She loves you too, dude, for sure.
	And Martin Krupka.
	Happy birthday to his wife, Dana.
	Celebrated on the 8th.
	Happy birthday from all of your friends here.
	The best podcast in the universe.
	And then we have...
	So we're going to...
	Just to make sure, we're going to do a knighting.
	Since we...
	I don't think we've ever knighted Luke.
	Well, knight him.
	Yeah, well, okay, hold on a second.
	Worst case scenario is double knighted.
	Yeah, and then he can be a girly baronet.
	Yeah, girly baronet.
	All right, here we go.
	Come on, Luke, step forward, you loser, you!
	He's in Finland.
	I'm allowed to say loser because I've broken bread with him.
	However, finally, finally, we are so happy to welcome you to that exclusive club and pronounce the Sir Luke Wanderhelm.
	Ladies and gentlemen, Knight of the Nogent Roundtable, and thank you very much for your support.
	The best podcast in the universe.
	Hookers and Blow, Rent Boys and Chardonnay, Hot Pants and Booze, Long-Haired Heavy Metal Guys and Scotch, Wenches and Beer, Rubin's Woman and Rose Egg, Geishas and Sake, Vodka, Vanilla.
	Bong hits in bourbon, sparkling cider in escorts, mutton and mead, and that's it.
	That time I read it.
	I'm a little tired.
	That time I did read the list.
	Thank you very much, Luke.
	And of course, everybody who supports the program, this is the only way we can do it.
	We could not give you this type of analysis.
	We've already discussed.
	No way will you hear even anyone broaching what we believe is the true story of Benghazi.
	Never.
	Not going to happen.
	Anyone who does that will be out of a job, will never work again, and they're deathly afraid of that.
	The whole system is rigged.
	The whole system is rigged, and it's rigged for advertisers.
	And we bring it up all the time when we find a good example.
	But it's ridiculous.
	You can't do anything good if you have to sell seeds or if you have to sell Fords, for that matter, or anything else.
	It just is impractical.
	Christine Lagarde was...
	So we have a new king in the Netherlands, King Willem-Alexander.
	And so a big party and everything went well.
	Did he come to Texas?
	He may be.
	I don't know.
	So the first person who comes to visit him is Christine Lagarde, of course.
	Oh yeah.
	The money.
	The bag lady.
	The bag lady.
	That's right.
	Hey!
	Bonjour!
	Here I am.
	So she goes to the...
	I'm here to collect.
	Yeah.
	She goes to the Free University.
	In Amsterdam.
	And I have to say, I'm very proud of our Dutch students.
	Who are just not having any of this woman.
	And the video is very funny.
	I'll play a little bit of the audio.
	So they disrupted, not once, not twice, but three times.
	So they're doing an interview.
	The video is great.
	You see the setting.
	So it's Lagarde with that way over tanned face.
	Which, can someone please tell her that's not a good look?
	Come on!
	It's just not a good look.
	You're a shriveled up brown head.
	Yeah, it looks like a shrunken head.
	Turd on a stick.
	And they have a velvet red rope in front of the stage to let all the slaves know that you can't cross that.
	Don't come close to the elite, the woman who's true ruler of the universe.
	And the minute she starts, people go, mic check, mic check, which is an old school one.
	But she thinks it's funny at first.
	She says, yes, she's never heard of this before in her life.
	She's like, oh, isn't that cute?
	They're like saying Madame Lagarde.
	And she's like all excited because these are clearly her fans.
	Until she finds out that it's not...
	You can see her face change.
	When she figures it out?
	Yeah.
	It's like, oh, this is great.
	Oh, wow.
	Yes.
	Oh, my goodness.
	This is so wonderful.
	What is happening?
	This is what we're not prepared.
	So now she's starting to figure it out here.
	This is what we're not prepared to probably understand.
	That's okay, that's fine.
	I like it when my fans are here.
	But, well, it just happened.
	I think the audience also want to know, did you understand what they were saying?
	No, I think...
	I really want to ask the audience to stop interrupting on this way.
	I really want to ask the audience to stop interrupting, please.
	Please, please, stop interrupting.
	We have the elite Christine Lagarde here.
	She's coming to collect from our new king, so stop it, okay?
	I think we have to stop interrupting on this way.
	We want to have a proper chat with you.
	A proper conversation, a proper Q&A. But, well, we heard the audience, and did you understand what they were saying?
	I encourage this behavior.
	This is very, very, very, very good.
	This is outstanding.
	Outstanding.
	Well, maybe.
	It's great.
	I encourage this.
	I really like it.
	It's too bad you can't hear what they're saying, but it doesn't matter.
	Just the disruption is very, very good.
	I'm very proud.
	I didn't see this on today's show.
	Oh, gee.
	I listened on the NBC night lately.
	You mean we can't make the elites look bad?
	No, no.
	In fact, Euronews had a piece on it, but they talked over the entire thing, so you couldn't hear any of the real disruption.
	People are afraid, because the minute you, as a journalist, the minute you report on something that puts these elites in a bad light, there goes your access.
	You're done.
	It's like, John...
	Maybe you should write an email and request an interview with Larry, Sergey, or Eric Schmidt.
	What do you think?
	You think you're going to get an interview with them ever again in your living days?
	I think so, yeah.
	I've known them long enough.
	I'll get an interview probably when they're retired.
	I did get Eric Schmidt to send me an autographed copy of his book written by the Cohen guy, the State Department person.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	I bought it on Kindle.
	No, I wanted the autograph, so I sent an email to him.
	I said, I want a copy of your book autograph.
	And he sent it to you?
	And I put it, well, his secretary sent it to me because it came from her.
	Because, I mean, I just want to make sure that he doesn't know that we compared him to a Nazi and Gestapo.
	I just want to make sure we understand.
	Make sure we repeat them.
	I'm sure he knows.
	He probably doesn't care.
	Do you think?
	Let me think.
	Let's see.
	I'm sitting around and we're $6 billion.
	I can do whatever I want.
	And some guys compare me to a Nazi.
	It is too loud.
	Let me have some more bonbons.
	Please, can you peel me another grape?
	216.
	Let me write that down.
	That was good.
	Alright, so you were a glass hole.
	You put the glasses on.
	Yeah.
	Tell me, how was it?
	So we're at this Adobe event in Southern California, and there was a guy.
	I won't mention his name.
	Scoble.
	No, no.
	Scoble wasn't there.
	Thank goodness.
	This guy writes for TechCrunch, and I don't know if he...
	But he has a pair of the best, the newest version, which doesn't have...
	They don't have glasses.
	They go over your glasses.
	Oh.
	This one actually uses your glasses.
	So I put them on, and he showed me how to use them.
	You rub the side.
	You rub the side.
	You rub, rub, rub.
	Hey, can you rub the side?
	Oh, please rub the side, John.
	Rubbing, rubbing.
	And so you rub the side, and every time you rub the side, it changes the screen to something dumb.
	You know, you usually rub the side.
	So most of the time, it's got a clock.
	And the thing that's interesting about the glasses is that the little display, which is microscopic, is crystal clear.
	And for some reason, since it's only just about an inch or two away from your eyeball, you can focus on it beautifully.
	So it's got some crazy thing going on in terms of how you can see it.
	And you can see it...
	But then it doesn't do anything except give you what time it is.
	And you have to be looking up to the right.
	And you look like if you're talking to someone and you keep looking at these glasses, you're going to look like something's wrong with you.
	I have enough trouble keeping my head still.
	I don't see these things having any legs, to be honest about it.
	And the guy kept making the excuse.
	He kept saying, oh, no, no, it's just a nerd's toy.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's expensive.
	It's a nerd's toy.
	It's a nerd's toy.
	It's expensive.
	I don't know.
	Maybe it's not the greatest thing.
	It's a nerd's toy.
	I like them.
	I like them.
	But it's a nerd's toy.
	Nerd's toy.
	And he kept saying that to me.
	And I'm thinking, geez, he's like embarrassed he owns these things.
	He should be.
	He should be.
	And I said, did you pay for them?
	He said, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yes, it's dumb.
	It's totally dumb.
	The whole thing is dumb.
	$1,500.
	If you get that kind of money to throw away on these glasses that just basically tell you what time it is, it's ludicrous.
	He says he wore them around New York City and they would give you directions on how to find something.
	And it was very nice.
	So here's all you got to say.
	When the Google Glass, so this is handy for your cocktails.
	You went to the party and you want to sound like a hipster.
	And you say, here's how you do it.
	You say, wearables is the future.
	Wearables.
	It's all about the wearables.
	Yeah, man.
	The wearables.
	It's all about the wearables, baby.
	I'm telling you.
	Adam's gonna read his email.
	On the No Agenda Show.
	David writes in and says, Hello, Adam.
	When I was in the United States of Gitmo Nation, we had a monthly lockdown.
	When I was 11, I experienced the first one.
	The teacher said, shut up or you will die.
	This person is 16 now.
	I just want to repeat.
	The teacher said, shut up or you will die.
	I then freaked out because all the kids started to run in all different directions.
	Me being blind and autistic, I didn't know how to respond.
	I just sat in my desk working on my math work on my Perkins Braille writer and This device looks and sounds like a manual typewriter with only nine keys.
	The teacher said nothing when the police slammed on the door.
	I started to cry after the lockdown.
	The police and teacher yelled at me, saying that I could have gotten the whole class killed!
	This is a blind autistic kid.
	So me being a no agenda listener, I asked the police what they were dressed like and what he was carrying on his belt.
	They said, none of your business!
	And I pressed on and said, uh...
	And said, if I was sighted, I would know, but since I was blind, I deserved a description.
	After the officer said, a taser and an AK-47, I knew the school was not there to teach for our good, but to re-educate us to become government robots.
	This is 16-year-old blind, autistic, no-agenda producer, David Thomas.
	Good work!
	Can you believe that?
	The teacher says you will die.
	This is horrible.
	These teachers are useless.
	This is really, really horrible.
	By the way, he runs an Ubuntu server.
	He's happy to help us out.
	I love that.
	Adam says, Mike...
	I was listening to show 508 this morning and thought I would relay a story about lockdown drills.
	These are not something new.
	I hope you find this story entertaining at some level.
	I first became aware of these drills five years ago when my youngest daughter was in kindergarten and my oldest daughter was in fourth grade.
	They were attending classes at the same school in Mercer County, New Jersey.
	At the dinner table one night, I asked my oldest about her day.
	Had anything interesting happened?
	No, nothing, was her reply.
	Not unexpected from a seasoned school-aged child.
	So then I ask my youngest the same question.
	Being a kindergartner, she loves her school.
	We had a drill, she says.
	A fire drill?
	Was the alarm really loud, I asked?
	No, a lock-up drill.
	A lock-it-up drill.
	We had to hide.
	A what?
	The teacher told us to hide and shut the door and close the windows.
	We had to be very quiet.
	Then my older daughter interrupted, yelling,"'You're not supposed to tell them about that!
	That's a secret!' What do you mean it's a secret, I asked?
	The teachers told us that we aren't supposed to say anything about the drill.
	And it's a lockdown drill.
	For in case someone comes into the school to do something bad, we're not supposed to tell people about where we hide because they might find us.
	Can you believe this crap, John?
	These are great letters.
	This is slave training.
	Well, I was floored.
	I told them both that it was okay to tell us about that, and they should tell us when they do them.
	There's no reason for it to be a secret.
	I contacted the school the next day, spoke to the principal.
	I was told it was something the school district had instituted.
	The children should not be told not to talk about it.
	That would be corrected.
	So these drills are nothing new.
	Can you believe that?
	I love it.
	So this is a dad.
	I love it when they, like...
	I would recommend to all our No Agenda producers and listeners out there to ask your kids if they've been told that there's a secret thing going on in their school.
	Just confront them.
	Secret drill.
	And make them tell you, because I'm sure that this is the only example of don't tell your parents.
	I bet it's happening everywhere.
	I bet it is.
	That's sick, by the way.
	Yeah.
	You won't tell your parents.
	This is what perverts do.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Hey, I'm going to feel you right here, but don't tell your parents.
	John, that's nasty.
	That's what the schools are doing.
	They're actually inculcating the idea that the kids can keep a secret when they shouldn't.
	It is slave training.
	And thank you very much for sharing.
	I ask everyone, by the way, if it's okay if I read their note, and they all immediately say yes.
	And thank you, blind autistic slave David.
	Awesome.
	What a great note.
	And way to go!
	Way to go, man.
	You should give a douchebag out to those cops.
	Yeah, big douchebag!
	Big time.
	Don't mess with our blind slave, our blind autistic.
	I bet he's walking on his tippy toes, spinning around.
	Good for him.
	Leave him alone.
	Leave our slave alone.
	Also, I did get a very nice email.
	This will be the last one for this episode.
	From Bruce.
	And Bruce says, hey, ma'am, there may be some problems with whole foods, but the chicken, at least in our region, the Southern Pacific, is fine.
	I'm always complaining about the chicken that became the albino chicken in a pot.
	Yes, that's something I still have dreams and nightmares about.
	I know you do.
	I was with that guy.
	Anyway, he gave me a recipe for cooking the chicken, and I have to say, oh, my God.
	Oh my God, this blew me away.
	And the first thing he said is, know your pot and your oven.
	You have to get that thing calibrated.
	Yeah, generally speaking, most ovens aren't temperature accurate.
	You get an oven thermometer and check it.
	I mean, I have a really high-end oven that is very accurate.
	It's kind of interesting.
	So his advice was, now this wouldn't work with the entire meal, but here's the chicken he made me make.
	And I have to say I did use a chicken from the market.
	So hot oven, hot pot, oven 425, hot pot, barely smoking, throw some oil in, you get your seasoned chicken, a little bit of butter on the outside, trust, hit the pot with oil, should smoke slightly less than it was, too much isn't great, but keep going until you're just not starting a fire.
	Lay the bird on its right side in the pot, put it straight in the oven with no lid, wait 20 minutes, then move the bird to the other side, wait 20 minutes, then move the bird breast side up, 20 more minutes, then lower the heat to 375, pull the bird out, check with the thermometer.
	If it's 165, you're done.
	If not, keep going a little bit.
	And then here, I think, is the big trick.
	You have to rest the bird for 10 minutes on a plate with its ass in the air so all the juices are flowing down towards the breast.
	This, John, was an outstanding product in this pot.
	That sounds like a winner.
	It sounds like a lot of work.
	I mean, when I do pot cooking, I try to avoid doing anything.
	It really wasn't because it was just three times 20 minutes.
	I'm just flipping this bird over and the crust, the skin was just nice and crisp.
	The chicken was succulent to the max.
	I couldn't make succulent.
	It was succulent.
	I'll touch the tip.
	So, yeah, be careful with that pot of yours, though, because at 500 degrees, the enamel comes off.
	No, no, it was 475.
	Yeah.
	He said 425.
	I'm sorry.
	425, you get a lot of leeway.
	The enamel, and then what happens?
	Enamel, that's an enamel.
	It's not good?
	Like a piece of it will pop.
	And go flying.
	I mean, it's just weird.
	Oh, really?
	Oh, we don't want that.
	Adam's gonna read his email.
	On the No Agenda Show.
	We need a closer that's just the ending of that.
	Someone did send me one other thing.
	We have things.
	If someone showed this on television news, even if you heard these stories, and I agree, John, ask your kids if there was some secret drill and you had to not tell your parents.
	We want to know about it.
	If there's anything, make sure those kids tell you.
	If there's any time, you should drum into their heads any time anyone tells them not to tell their parents.
	Immediately tell your parents.
	Yeah.
	So this is a note from one of our producers, who I shall not name, and it is a checklist, a bomb threat checklist for school.
	But here's the crazy thing.
	It says, Department of the Treasury Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Bomb Threat Checklist.
	Is the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, is that part of the Department of the Treasury?
	Yeah.
	I didn't know that.
	Oh yeah, that's where the revenuers are part of the treasury.
	It's all regulated for tax purposes or something.
	Okay, so you're calling in a bomb threat and I'm going to run through the checklist with you.
	Okay.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	You're calling it in.
	I'm calling it in.
	I'm waiting for you.
	Hello?
	Hello?
	Yeah, yeah, I think I got a bomb here.
	I got a bomb.
	It's a suspicious thing, and I think it's a bomb.
	I don't know what to do.
	When is the bomb going to explode?
	I have no idea.
	It's in a box.
	Where is the bomb right now?
	It's over by the park bench.
	It's on a park bench near a trash can, right here in the park.
	Now, you're supposed to be threatening.
	You're not see something, say something.
	Oh, I thought I was the see something.
	No, you're threatening.
	You're threatening.
	Hold on, let's try it again.
	I got the wrong character.
	Yeah, okay.
	Hello?
	Yeah, he planted a bomb.
	When is the bomb going to explode?
	The bomb, I'm not telling you, but it's at the stadium, and it's going to go off during the big game.
	What?
	Let me ask the question.
	You can't be telling me this now.
	What does the bomb look like?
	That's what I would do if I was doing this.
	I have a checklist.
	What does the bomb look like?
	I'm not telling you.
	What will cause the bomb to explode?
	It's got a timer.
	Did you place the bomb?
	Why should I be telling you this?
	Why?
	You mean why?
	That's question number seven.
	Why what?
	Six is, did you place the bomb?
	And seven is, why?
	I told you that the bomb is there.
	I'm not talking to you.
	I just gave you the threat.
	What more do I have to do?
	And eight is, what is address?
	I'm reading verbatim.
	What is address?
	What is address?
	What does that even mean?
	What is your name?
	My name is Jim.
	Okay.
	And then I have an open space for the exact wording of the bomb threat, which is stadium.
	Sex of caller was male.
	Race, you sounded Chinese to me.
	Age, length of call.
	And then caller's voice, calm, nasal, soft, angry, stutter, loud, excited, lisp, laughter, slow, rasp, crying, rapid, deep, normal, What is this word?
	Distinct.
	I'm a crying one.
	Background noises.
	Distinct.
	Distinct.
	I have a distinct voice.
	Bomb threat language.
	Well-spoken education.
	Incoherent.
	Foul.
	Message read by the threat maker.
	Irrational or taped.
	A bomb.
	I put a bomb there.
	All right.
	How about background noises?
	Street noises?
	Voices, crockery.
	Crockery.
	When you do the bomb, bring some props.
	It's like...
	It's... I got a...
	Office machinery...
	Booth.
	You sounded like he had a harmonica.
	I love that.
	What is address?
	Can you imagine it's like some guy calling a bomb thrift?
	What is address?
	And you're like, what kind of English is that?
	It sounds like the pidgin English that you get from customer service.
	That's why the guy wrote the list.
	Skip logic right there.
	Skip logic.
	Yeah.
	So while we're congratulating human resources of the world, congratulations to Iceland.
	Man, this is the place to live.
	Yeah.
	At the second time of asking, Iceland still hasn't warmed to the idea of paying back the...
	Oh, by the way, you catch the little script writer's jolly there?
	Iceland hasn't warmed?
	Yeah.
	BBC, I might point out.
	BBC. At the second time of asking, Iceland still hasn't warmed to the idea of paying back the £2.3 billion it owes the UK since the collapse of the internet bank, Isave.
	In the second referendum on a compensation deal, 60% of people voted no to paying for a private bank's losses, and they'd have paid with interest for the next 30 years.
	So this makes total sense.
	This happened in 2008.
	We discussed it a lot at the time.
	So the Internet Bank, iSave, I think it was called...
	I had a lot of municipalities, but also individuals from the United Kingdom and the Netherlands who were putting their money in there, and they were getting a very high rate of return, exorbitant, like these 6%, 7%, 8%, 9% crazy rates, certainly at that time.
	There is always risk, of course, when you do these things.
	The bank fails, and then the governments of the UK and the Netherlands paid out The money, it's a couple billion, paid out to the investors who got screwed, and hey, what happens?
	You invest in something, you put your money somewhere, an internet bank, okay, it can happen.
	And now the Netherlands and the UK, they said, well, that bank failed, it was in Iceland, so hey, citizens of Iceland, you have to pay up.
	You have to pay us.
	Forget the bank.
	The bank failed.
	No, we're going to put it on the whole country.
	And the country said no before, and now they're saying no again.
	The finance minister said there's no point asking them again.
	I think it's very hard to interpret this in any other way than...
	than...
	The fact that the Icelandic people is not prepared to accept payments or sheltered burden unless there is a clear legal obligation to do so.
	The debt dates back to 2008 when Ice Save went to the wall and cash belonging to UK and Dutch savers went with it.
	Like the Netherlands, the UK government reimbursed people.
	Now it wants Iceland to pay it back.
	Negotiating hasn't worked.
	Today the government said it will see Iceland in court.
	What court do you think?
	I think it's war.
	I agree.
	It will drone your ass.
	What court do you go to?
	The International Criminal Court?
	I mean, give me a break.
	No, they don't have any court.
	There's no court.
	There's no jurisdiction.
	There's no standing.
	There's nothing they can do.
	They can go to maybe some bogus court in the U.N. No, but why should they pay back?
	Screw them.
	It's like every time you...
	Where's the whole idea?
	If you put your money into some crazy investment, you lose it.
	You don't go to the next-door neighbor and demand payment.
	There's no losers, Tommy.
	You're not a loser.
	It is obviously disappointing that it seems that the people of Iceland have rejected what was a negotiated settlement.
	And of course we respect the will of the Icelandic...
	Negotiated by who?
	By the elites!
	It's like me and you negotiating a settlement and demanding money from the Bank of America.
	Now you're talking crazy talk.
	People in this matter, and we're going to have to now go and talk to the international partners with whom we work, not least the government of the Netherlands.
	It now looks like this process...
	Because they want their money as well, don't they?
	Of course they do.
	It now looks like this process will end up in the courts.
	There's a legal process going on.
	The government says it's got an obligation to chase Iceland for the 2.3 billion because we're in a difficult position too and could really use the cash.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	That's so funny.
	So there was another development that's kind of interesting, was under the radar, which is apparently the UK Independent Party's made some inroads, and there's a little wrap-up here of what happened after this recent election.
	Yeah, they've been doing very well.
	Hans Docter speaking there in Pakistan.
	The Queen has delivered a speech outlining the British government's program for the next year.
	It includes a new crackdown on migrants.
	Another move is seen as a reaction to the success of the right-wing UK Independence Party, which made significant gains in last week's local elections.
	Europe correspondent Philip Williams takes a closer look at the party and its leader.
	So let me guess, so this is Nigel Farage, of course, who we enjoy very much when he's harping against the European Union.
	Yeah, and this is a report that was done in Australia, so it's a foreign correspondent, but you know it's slanted.
	Well, do you think they're going to call him, like, crazy, right-wing nut-nut-jump?
	Apparently.
	When you listen to the report, you'll see that's what they were calling him, and now they have to change their ways.
	Quick fag, and then we'll be on our way.
	Just a week ago, the established parties were describing this man and his party as Froot Loops and racists.
	Political fringe dwellers.
	This has been a long week in politics.
	I've been up half the night.
	This is absolutely marvellous.
	The UK Independence Party attracted nearly a quarter of the votes in seats that stood in the local government elections.
	Suddenly, UKIP leader Nigel Farage was being seen in a very different light.
	A threat.
	A player.
	The normal, stable political structure of Britain has just been thrown up in the air, and we'll see how it comes back down.
	And what's really interesting is that it's not just Tory votes we're getting, it's Labour votes up north too.
	What this does tell us is that there is now a fourth force in British politics and one that does have the potential over time to start to win seats at the national level but certainly in the short term to influence what all the other parties say and think.
	While the party foundations are built on anti-European bedrock, the vote catcher was a hard line on immigration.
	We opened up the doors to Poland and seven other Eastern European countries in 2004.
	And the government said this would lead to an increase of 15,000 people a year coming to Britain.
	I said hogwash.
	It'll lead to a lot more than that.
	And indeed over a million have come.
	The major parties deny their policies will shift to the right because of UKIP's success, but already some Conservatives are arguing perhaps they should.
	Concern is more, are they paying attention?
	Do they understand the things that I face as an ordinary person?
	The fact that I'm having trouble making ends meet, the fact that I can't afford the taxes and the heating costs and the growing costs of food and so on.
	All those things, the public have got to believe the government understands.
	And I think at the moment, a fair chunk of them, 25-30% of them, don't believe that.
	Listen to this.
	A student at this school might give as many as 200.
	This is Obama.
	It's the president here in Texas.
	I can relate.
	And, you know, I just had a chance to see some of the incredible work that some of the young people here are doing.
	Like printing our plastic guns?
	Mathematical equations to build musical instruments.
	All right, whatever.
	I dismantled that.
	I have to plug it.
	The plastic gun story we have to get to probably the next show.
	Well, yeah, we do have to get to that.
	Well, actually, maybe there is a little clip I wanted to, because this is, you know how we always talked about the war on, there was going to be the war on ammo before we got to the war on crazy?
	Yes, we talked about the war on ammo and the war on crazy and the war on women.
	Right, so that's where it's going.
	But first, let's listen to the Today Show, Matt Lauer, with his panel of professionals, which I think it's like morons.
	I recognize them vaguely.
	They're celebrities, but now they're professionals.
	But it's basically three morons sitting on stools as this conversation comes up about the printed guns.
	Today's professionals are going to weigh in on what could be a game changer in the gun debate, a plastic pistol, undetectable by most security systems, that almost anyone can make at home using some modern technology.
	Now apparently someone has perfected making a gun, a plastic gun that cannot be detected by most security systems, with one of these 3D printers.
	A 25-year-old law school student named Cody Wilson says he may release The details of how to do this soon.
	What do we do about it?
	All right, let's go to our professionals.
	More on number one.
	Donnie, I know that this was concerning you, but legally, you say to yourself, I'm not sure how much we can do about it at this point, other than really step up our efforts at gun control, but more importantly, the behind the scenes.
	What?
	Step up our efforts on gun control.
	But let's go to moron number two.
	You're not going to...
	This gets around gun control.
	Well, actually, if you make the behavior, the penalty for the behavior, the possession of a gun, no matter how it's manufactured, much more stringent.
	But the time to get on the plane and kill us all, I mean, TSA is going to be horrible.
	This is horrible.
	It's like the process of making this gun is ahead of the gun laws.
	Oh, and the gun laws are so much behind every part of society.
	I love it.
	That's what you watch.
	Do they bring up the fact that the gun can only be shot ten times and it may explode on the first shooting, the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, you know, up to ten?
	Apparently it won't shoot more than ten without blowing up and blowing off your hand.
	So I did learn something on the Jake Tapper show with Congressman Israel.
	Plastic guns are already illegal.
	I did not know that.
	I don't want to necessarily ban the guns.
	I don't want to make it easier for criminals and terrorists to bring plastic guns through metal detectors onto airplanes.
	Jake, I just came from New York, stood in line at LaGuardia Airport in front of a metal detector.
	Metal detector is a good idea.
	You don't want bad guys bringing guns.
	But as we just saw from that video, the metal detectors may be obsolete technologies now that you can actually make a plastic gun and bring it on a plane.
	So what's your solution?
	My solution is to simply extend something that has been on the books for 10 years, the Undetectable Firearms Act, that says that you cannot manufacture and transport weapons that cannot be picked up by metal detectors.
	It was common sense in 2003 when George Bush signed the law.
	It is now urgent sense now that the 3D printers are actually manufacturing these plastic weapons.
	And now that the law is expiring at the end of this year.
	Oh, how convenient that the plastic gun shows up at the minute when this bill has to be re-reacted.
	Yeah, that's pretty convenient.
	Yeah!
	Buzzkill Jr.
	had a theory about this thing.
	These guns got nothing to do with us.
	They're just essentially a roundabout way to getting guns into the hands of Africans who are going to be shooting up each other anyway.
	Africans?
	And it screws the arms dealers.
	Because you get these crazy Africans, you give them one of these guns, and sure, it can only shoot six or seven times, but...
	No, no, I'm in total agreement.
	The reason why this is an issue is not because of shittisons.
	This is because we can't have...
	This is a good business.
	We can't have people making their own guns.
	Look at who's selling them.
	Yeah.
	This is not...
	This will never fly.
	Never, ever, ever fly.
	Now, this is going to be a huge problem.
	It's going to be all kinds of bull crap they'll pull out of the woodwork for it.
	But look who's making the guns and who's selling them.
	You can't mess in their business.
	Uh-uh.
	Big mistake.
	Big mistake.
	So anyway, this is a bypass over arms dealers.
	I did want to talk a little bit about the Castle show that had the drones.
	Yeah, did you get a clip of that?
	No, because I was watching it in Los Angeles.
	I didn't have my clip machine with me.
	But maybe if someone can get me some clips with some gems in there.
	The story, simply put, was there was a bunch of military drones surveilling New York, armed apparently, and one of them fires a missile into some guy's car to kill him.
	And he was a whistleblower or a guy who wrote a newsletter, a blogger.
	And they tried to track it back to the army and everyone denied it and it turned out to be a hacker that developed some code that could break into all the drones and then the guy's son actually was the final culprit.
	Oh, spoiler!
	Now I don't have to watch the episode.
	Thanks.
	You don't have to watch it anyway.
	But what it was to me was a propaganda episode making it okay to have these military drones surveilling the city of New York.
	I have two clips here.
	I have a clip where the guy admits to writing the software.
	And I have Castle Drone Someone Has to Stop It.
	This is the autonomous stuff.
	Are those any good or do you need something else?
	The autonomous one's good.
	You might as well play that.
	Okay, let me see.
	This is one of our producers who sent this to me.
	I haven't had time to watch it because I've got no time to watch these stupid shows.
	But I'm glad you did when you're...
	I was in a hotel in Los Angeles.
	Lonely.
	SpectraVision, my friend.
	SpectraVision.
	That's when you're supposed to be watching porn.
	What are you doing watching Castle when you're by yourself?
	Mr.
	Warburg, let's talk about Dale Tanner.
	If you want to know if I killed him, the answer is yes, I did.
	Would you like to tell me why?
	It began two years ago with this.
	I don't understand what a car driving through the desert has to do with Dale Tanner.
	Intelligence board said there were three high-ranking Afghan militants in this car.
	It was the right make and model.
	So the drone pilot was given the green light to strike.
	But then, he saw those red dots on the trunk.
	And he had a feeling.
	So he aborted the mission.
	There were no militants in that car.
	The red dots were roses.
	Because the young couple driving down that desert road had just gotten married.
	That's when I knew I could no longer be a part of the drone program.
	I don't understand why the pilot didn't fire.
	Because the next generation of drones won't have pilots.
	Yay!
	The new AI software will give drones decision-making capability.
	They'll assess the data and take lethal action all on their own.
	Well, they will be the rise of the machines.
	Those new drones will turn that car to ash without hesitation.
	That's why, when lives are at stake, we need a man who sees roses.
	It gets worse from there.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, the whole thing is terrible.
	Indeed, you shouldn't watch it.
	And, of course, I was watching it instead of watching porn because I'm working on the show at all times.
	Oh, come on.
	You can take a 30-second break.
	It's usually about 15 seconds.
	It doesn't seem like it's worth it.
	Wow.
	Two old guys.
	Hey!
	You know?
	Where's the lotion?
	That was a low point in our history.
	Yeah.
	Alright.
	Hey, you know what?
	We're screwed and we might as well enjoy ourselves while we're laughing at everything.
	Indeed.
	All right.
	Well, we will have a lot of Agenda 21 stuff to talk about on Sunday.
	I've got some real gems that we just didn't get to today, along with some more Bankster news.
	And I'm sure there will be something that pops up on C-SPAN that'll be marginally interesting that we can dissect for you once again.
	And the only way we do it...
	It's by not being influenced or hijacked or bought and paid for by commercial interests.
	It's your show, you're the producer, and you support us doing that.
	Dvorak.org slash NA or donate.curry.com.
	Coming to you from the capital of the drone star state, feeling pretty safe today with the president in town.
	In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	Yes, you're in lockdown.
	Not so here in northern Silicon Valley, but I'm still John C. Dvorak.
	We will talk to you again on Sunday, right here on the best podcast in the universe, No Agenda.
	Shut up, slave!
