	The Stargate will remain open so long.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, December 25th, 2016, and this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 889er.
	This is No Agenda.
	Celebrating church and consumerism with the best of the best and broadcasting almost live from the darkest corners of the internet in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley where Plato's a man who has dread fear of Saint Nick have claustrophobia.
	I'm John C. DeBarre.
	It's Crackbot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Plato bringing it to the Christmas.
	Yeah, Blato is a big fan of Christmas.
	The man is amazing.
	Well, here we are, John.
	Happy Merry Christmas.
	And Happy Merry Christmas to you.
	You got the sleigh bells going.
	Of course I got the sleigh bells.
	It's the old Top 40 radio trick is what we do in the morning.
	Yeah, perfect.
	Yeah.
	Ah, so we are almost live today, which means we're not live.
	No, we're doing our version of a clip show, which is not really a clip show.
	Well, it's not really, but it is in a way.
	Sir Ramsey Cain, of course, put it together for us, which we really appreciate.
	And he does have a couple of clip blitzes in there, and I would say I listened to his compilation.
	It is some highlights.
	Definitely highlights.
	Well, he's our biggest fan for finding highlights.
	Of course, he does No Agenda CD, noagendacd.com, and we cannot thank him enough for doing this for us.
	So we can take this one day off.
	We will be working on the first, which is, of course, also a Sunday.
	Yeah.
	And we figure people will be hungover and they may listen to the show, probably more likely than they'll be listening today, because today they're with family.
	I mean, the number of people that listen to the show, whether it's a clip show or not, is going to be very minimal.
	And hi to all you!
	Yeah!
	Hey, everybody!
	Okay, so we're going to do it in two parts.
	We'll get this started and then we'll come back halfway and chat for a bit and then we'll end it up.
	Anything else we need to do besides wishing everybody a very Merry Christmas and thanking them for letting us slide on this one day a year?
	No, I think we're good to go.
	Okay, here it is.
	We're going into part one of our special Christmas extravaganza brought to you by Sir Ramsey Cain and the No Agenda Show.
	Remember how it was when you'd be on the phone with somebody and then the lines would get crossed back in the analog days?
	Hello?
	Hello?
	Hey, who's this?
	How did you get on?
	I don't know.
	What?
	Well, when I was a kid, we still had party lines.
	Yeah, of course.
	And most people don't even know what a party line is anymore.
	I think you need to explain.
	At one point, I guess even before my time, I guess party lines would consist of maybe five or six houses.
	The party line was, the way they had the circuit set up, they had to go through two or three houses.
	Right, I remember this.
	And so it was the same line, but somehow, I don't know how they multiplied.
	They would have one ring for house one, two rings for house two?
	No, no, no.
	No, that was all somehow done on some private channeling or something, so your number would only ring when your number was called.
	It wasn't like it rang all the numbers, because then you'd have everyone listening in on everything.
	Right.
	You would run into a situation where you'd pick up the phone and the party line was yakking away.
	And then you have to hang up.
	I remember this!
	Do you remember what a busy signal sounds like?
	I remember what it was.
	Sure I do.
	So the party lines, so you'd have this, when I was a kid, we had one other line that was the party.
	And I don't know where these people were.
	And I don't think anyone ever exchanged this information.
	Where are you?
	I'm over here.
	It was just like they were annoying.
	So you never talked to them.
	And you couldn't sex people up back in the day on the party line.
	You could, if you don't mind people listening in.
	Right.
	So I, being a sneaky little kid, I was just a little kid.
	I figured that if you unscrew the carbon mic, which was at the base of the phone, you could unscrew the top and then take the microphone out.
	You could usually lift up the thing and listen in.
	And no one would know you would lift it up.
	Well, you know, that remains to be seen.
	Because there was this girl and her boyfriend, they were always yakking and talking about, you know, lovey-dovey stuff.
	And so I'd listen in to this if I caught it.
	First, you want to make a call and you lift the phone and then you hear them and you hang up.
	And it made it clear that you hung up.
	And when you were making calls, you'd hear these people hanging up all the time.
	But if you took the little thing off, you might be able to minimize this problem if you were careful.
	But apparently, this girl could always hear it when I was doing this, and she would say, I remember her saying, hang up with the phone, you little bastard!
	Yeah, that's it.
	Exactly.
	Nice.
	Win, lose, or drone!
	That's right, everybody.
	It's time once again to play Win, Lose, or Drone!
	Will there be civilian casualties?
	Will there be any dead children?
	Find out next on the episode of Win, Lose, or Drone!
	Win, lose, or drone!
	So I got all my clips today, by the way, I want to mention.
	I picked up off of the...
	Somebody has a German, I think it's in Berlin, satellite, a C-band.
	Oh?
	Slingbox.
	Ah.
	So I was watching what I could.
	Now there's a bunch of crazy, I don't know if we should maybe introduce some people to the idea of what's on German television in general, not to mention what's on the satellite dishes.
	But let me give you, maybe you can explain it to them.
	I have a little piece of German programming, which I have as an Ask Adam item.
	And why don't you maybe first guess what this might be.
	Okay, now you know that it is possible that I will be able to understand the German spoken here.
	Oh yeah, no, I'm sure you can understand it.
	Maybe, maybe, maybe.
	This German is essentially numbers.
	Is it something like that?
	Yeah, well, why don't you play it?
	I'm so happy GX2 is making a living in Germany.
	That's fantastic for him.
	Yes, I know what this is.
	Yeah, why don't you explain it?
	Because I don't think...
	When Americans first go to Germany and they flip on the TV, they run into these channels.
	And on the satellite, I swear to God, there must be 50 of them.
	Yeah, it goes on all over Europe.
	I don't think it's just Germany.
	No, it is all over, but Germany really has a lot of it.
	Right, so after hours, when it's not cost-effective to put in expensive lottery-sponsored programming...
	Then you basically have a bunch of girls who will be...
	And it typically is live.
	They're sitting in a room with a bunch of pillows, and they're scantily clad.
	And they'll be on the phone, and essentially they are talking to people who are calling that number, that 999-Svide-Svide-Svide, whatever she said number.
	And then, of course, you can go private with her.
	It's kind of like a webcam sex thing, only a little different.
	999-9999...
	Now, the funny thing is about this, to me, is occasionally, because unfortunately there's no real guide to this dish, and it's got like 2,000 channels, so I'm punching, you know, I've been spending hours going down channels.
	Wait a minute, this is what you spent New Year's Day doing, isn't it?
	I spent a lot of time on this thing.
	I only found two worthwhile channels.
	Sky News, which is actually much better than BBC. I don't have this...
	Whose Slingbox did you get?
	No one sent me this login to the German Slingbox.
	I found a Slingbox sharing website.
	Oh, homework.
	There's a huge underground of this.
	Because nobody got me a New York Slingbox.
	Don't complain.
	I can gripe and gripe, but never mind.
	So what is your question?
	What's your question?
	No, it's not a question.
	I'm saying I'm going through this, and then there's the occasional channel.
	I swear to God, it's a 50-, 60-year-old woman.
	Have you seen this?
	I don't know what you're going to say, but I like it already.
	A 56-year-old, horrible-looking woman, naked, with rolls of fact.
	Seriously.
	And she is offering her, you know, to bad boys or something.
	It's some crazy thing.
	I couldn't quite pick up what she was angling for.
	But there was a number of these sites, and it was literally...
	You know, it was not pleasant, let's put it that way.
	Whoa!
	And you hit the channel button as fast as you can trying to get the satellite thing to change channels.
	Sure, John.
	Welcome to Europe.
	Yeah, sure.
	Oh, quick, change it, change it.
	Oh, honey, I can't get it to change.
	It won't switch.
	I don't know what's going on.
	What's happening?
	Oh, okay.
	Well, another screwy thing.
	I got the clip.
	Lethal injection story.
	Oh, yes.
	Someone sent this to me from the Netherlands.
	It was in the newspaper there.
	So, Andrew Novak, we know there are 32 states where the death penalty is legal.
	I'm sorry, you say something?
	Yeah, 32, not 33, so the story's real.
	It's real!
	It's real!
	So, Andrew Novak, we know there are 32 states where the death penalty is legal.
	We know that Utah would become the only state, along with Oklahoma, where the backup method would be a firing squad.
	Two other states, New Hampshire, Washington State, have a hanging as a backup.
	And then there are five more states that use the electric chair as the backup, in addition to Oklahoma, where I guess it's either or.
	Why is there so much concern about these lethal injections?
	Sure.
	You don't answer a question like that with the word sure.
	That's a very Silicon Valley thing to do, by the way.
	Oh, is that where you track it to?
	Because every time I see him, this guy was the worst.
	And his answer to the long question was, sure.
	Yeah, mm-hmm.
	I've been hearing this.
	I bitch about this every time it comes along.
	But this one is so outrageous.
	It wasn't like the sure, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	It was sure.
	And there was a long pause.
	And the next word was um.
	I wasn't going to go any further with it.
	Oh, sure!
	Yeah, the way it works, it's usually when it's based on a question that the person is supposed to have complete knowledge of, and the person knows that the interviewer doesn't know shit.
	And then it's just, sure, so let me tell you about how our networking fits together.
	It's kind of like, I'm such an authority, I'm just going to say, sure, I'll tell you that little unknowledgeable press person you.
	You think it's an insult.
	Yes, it's a subtle insult.
	I want to tell everyone out there who does any of this, if you're in the news business at all, and somebody says sure to you, stop them in their track and say, look, I'm interviewing you not to be insulting.
	Why are you insulting me with this sure nonsense?
	Sure.
	Right.
	That would be if it was true news and not PR, because it's all PR. What is the point?
	They're just trying to gouge the public with some new tax.
	You know, I bet you in some of these areas they charge you for the air you breathe.
	You can make an argument for that.
	You have to go in once a year like you do with your car to get it small.
	You have to go in once a year and they put a kind of a mask on you and you breathe in and out of the mask for five minutes and they can calculate how much air, which is a valuable resource, how much air you're breathing and then they can send you a bill.
	Yeah.
	I don't see why not.
	It sounds like the same idea.
	But they will send you a bill for carbon pollution.
	Well, they can do that, too.
	I think that'll happen first.
	I think most of the people around this area, the Berkeley Bay Area, most of the people would buy into that because carbon pollution coming from humans is bad.
	It's too bad we have so many humans.
	We should all die.
	Yeah.
	But he also...
	I can find out for sure.
	He's also...
	I think he set this thing up called the Survivors Club.
	Which is, I don't know, is this for people who survived like horrible...
	It's not one of those food things, is it?
	No, I think it's like addictions and stuff like that.
	It's, let me see.
	Survive crime, survive molestation, survive something like any of those things could be a possibility.
	I think, here it is, I think it's a book.
	January 2009, his first non-fiction book, The Survivor's Club, The Secrets and Science that...
	Science?
	That could save your life.
	It was published by Grand Central Publishing.
	This is for survivors, survivalists.
	Yeah, the Survivor Club explores human survival in all its forms.
	It was a New York Times bestseller.
	Yeah, this is a survivalist book.
	This is nuts.
	Yeah, I think Glenn Beck talks about this book a lot, actually.
	Well, you know, one of the reasons all the right-wing talkers are now talking about survivalism is because the new sponsors that have come down the road, you know, it's always been a well-known fact that the only reason that...
	That talk radio exists the way it exists.
	Oh, it's because of the gold sellers and seed banks.
	Vitamin pills, HGH and all that.
	Now it became gold and then it's moved on to these food programs.
	You take a bunch of paranoid people and you put them on this food program.
	Oh, you buy this kit and you'll have food for the next two years.
	Storable food.
	Storable food.
	You store the food forever and you won't have to worry when the bomb hits or when whatever bad happens, happens.
	Of course, nothing ever comes of it.
	By the way, my tip to people out there, there are mailing lists available.
	You can get the mailing list because you want to maybe want to sell to like Mormons, for example, have all keep one year's of food, one year, which were the food in their basements by some edict.
	And then there you have these guys.
	So you rent these two mailing lists.
	And if all hell breaks loose, you just grab the mailing list and you just check off.
	You go find these people and shoot them and steal the food.
	Hey, man, give me some food.
	That would be the smart money.
	Sick concept, but it would work.
	Sinterklaas Kapoentje, leg wat in hun schoentje, leg wat in hun laarsjes, want Adam en John zijn hele goede baasjes.
	Stop!
	So today, December 4th, is traditionally in Gitmo Nation lowlands, the day when all children put their boots outside for the good St.
	Nicholas to drop presents.
	Steal their boots on the ground.
	USA, that's what would happen.
	Steal their boots off the ground.
	No, the Good Sint, Nicholas.
	Now, this is actually kind of interesting because I think it's today the 4th or the 5th?
	No, it's the 4th, right?
	Today is actually the 5th.
	Yesterday was the 4th.
	Is today the 5th?
	Well, then I screwed it all up, didn't I? How did you screw it up?
	I said December 4th.
	It's December 5th.
	Oh, you mean at the opening of the show?
	Yes.
	Oh, how about that?
	Yeah.
	Gee, what a surprise.
	So December 5th is traditionally the day when the kids put their boots on the ground outside.
	And then the good Saint Nick who rides a white horse and he arrives on a steamship from Spain with his black peats, which now has become incredibly politically incorrect.
	He no longer has black peats.
	I think they've written them out of the script.
	But they used to be just Black Peets.
	What's a Black Pete?
	Well, he's a black dude.
	You got like the Head Pete.
	His name is Pete, so they're called Peets, Black Peets.
	And you got the Head Pete, and he's in charge of all the other Peets.
	And they run around and they terrorize the children.
	So if you've been bad, then they hit you with sticks and shove you in a burlap bag.
	This is a terrible story.
	This is what it is.
	But it's a big party.
	Yeah, with all the kids out of the way, the parents can go drinking.
	Yeah, it's a big drinking party for parents.
	Now you got it.
	But that's their version of Santa Claus, because they don't really have a Santa Claus.
	We have the Sinterklaas who comes on the steamship from Spain with his black piece.
	Why is he coming from Spain?
	Because Spain used to rule all of the world.
	It's a throwback.
	It's crazy.
	It's totally crazy, believe me.
	And, of course, now we basically have Christmas in the lowlands.
	They've probably got Santa Claus walking around, too.
	Well, you know, the funniest thing with you when you were discussing that sort of thing is if you go down to Rio in December and you're floating around Brazil, which is the middle, this is like the hottest time of the year.
	It is boiling.
	It's like 100 degrees.
	And there's all these Santa Claus's.
	With the reindeer and the trees.
	Well, that is kind of like Los Angeles is weird that way, too.
	And it turns out we're in one of those streets where we have two neighbors at war.
	Oh, House Wars?
	With the light stuff?
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's great.
	We saw it happen.
	We saw, because of course, this is our first Christmas here, and we saw one side like, wow, this guy's got some lights going, and then on the other side, and now I said to Mickey, yes, he said, I think our house is perfect for, I think we can do a sleigh.
	And it went reindeer on the roof.
	And Mickey says, I'm totally fucking up the synth story.
	Well, what am I doing wrong?
	She just texted me.
	She's listening?
	Yeah, of course she's listening.
	She's in the car.
	She's on the way to a meeting.
	A meeting?
	Yeah.
	Sunday, for God's sake.
	Yeah, she works hard, man.
	But, alright, so I guess I took all the romance out of the story.
	Well, we can tell the story next week when we get closer to Chris.
	Or I guess it'll be farther away from December 2nd, which is, I guess, or the 3rd or the 5th.
	No, the 5th.
	And then, I don't know, man.
	I'm from America now.
	We always thought it was...
	And by the way, this Sinterklaas, he also wears like a red robe.
	He's got a...
	Robe?
	Oh yeah, pedo.
	Hey kids!
	He's got a pointy hat.
	And he's got a big stick.
	A big staff.
	I got a stick for you.
	I got a big staff for you, kids.
	But he's very thin.
	He's not fat like Santa Claus.
	He's a skinny guy.
	That's more like it.
	He has pant legs taped to just the bottom of some short pants taped to his legs.
	But it's cute.
	Actually, what the family tradition is, and this is kind of nice, is you all draw...
	The big family comes together, usually not just household family, and then you'll draw lots before, like a couple weeks before, you'll draw a name out of the hat, and then you get the name on a piece of paper, and then you have to go buy something for that person and turn it into a surprise, right?
	With a poem, which is about that person.
	But you don't ever really say, oh, this is from me.
	Yeah, this is what you do.
	This is an office.
	This has been transposed into an American tradition of doing that in the office where they don't want everybody buying everybody else gifts.
	Right, right, right.
	Grab bag.
	And somebody invariably gets a box of candies that they don't want.
	Well, the funny thing is there's always some joker who puts together a huge box Right?
	And then you get this huge box as a present, and then you have to go through, like, wood chips and...
	Box after box.
	Molasses and all kinds of weird crap in there.
	It's hilarious.
	And then at the bottom, there's, like, a gift certificate.
	Yeah, right.
	Yeah.
	But I'm sure all the listeners in Gitmo Nation Lowlands are very disappointed with my explanation.
	However, in the true spirit of...
	It's another no agenda.
	All right, time for the Clip Blitz as we wind up this show.
	John, what do you have for us?
	A couple of cool things.
	If you want to start off with the, well, I'm going to finish with, I know it's Sunday, so today means high school USA, but wait.
	Let's start with the herbal fraud going on in Canada.
	Herbal fraud in Canada.
	Some herbal supplements may not be what they seem.
	Researchers in Canada used DNA barcoding to test 44 different supplements.
	They found some were often diluted or replaced entirely with fillers like soybean and rice.
	One third showed no trace of the plant advertised on the bottle, only another plant in its place.
	That's good to know.
	Yeah, perfect.
	So there's a breastfeeding controversy going on, and it's kind of universal.
	We have two stories, one of breastfeeding in the UK, followed by America.
	And tell me if you can kind of spot the difference between breastfeeding in the UK, for starters, and then America.
	Play them back-to-back.
	There is an interesting government program underway for new mothers in Great Britain.
	In an effort to boost the practice of breastfeeding among low-income women, moms are now being offered money to breastfeed their newborns.
	Each mom can now collect $200 for the first six weeks of breastfeeding, more if they continue to breastfeed for up to six months.
	The goal is to destigmatize the practice in poorer areas.
	Researchers say the United Kingdom has one of the worst breastfeeding rates in the world.
	One mother is caught between a rock and a hard place.
	A Pennsylvania judge recently told her that she had to stop breastfeeding her 10-month-old daughter so the little girl could stay with her father for two days a week.
	It's part of a custody agreement, but the mom says there's nothing agreeable about it.
	He did say something along the lines like, well, she should be on formula or why isn't she on formula?
	She should be able to have formula at 10 months old.
	I'm feeling frustrated, hurt.
	I'm trying to keep myself from crying.
	It's very emotional.
	All right.
	What is this?
	Is there a new dark breast milk market happening?
	It just seems that the UK, I mean, when is the government telling women what to do or not to do?
	Essentially that's what we're listening to here.
	Okay, here we go.
	Snoring in Brazil.
	This is good news for you snorers.
	Schnorers out there.
	Avoiding salt could be the way to cure snoring.
	At least that's what Brazilian researchers want to prove.
	They started a study last month hoping to uncover a connection between salt and sleep apnea.
	Researchers believe excessive salt intake builds up fluid in the body and then the fluid shifts to a person's neck.
	When they're lying down.
	Some patients will take a diuretic pill and others will switch to a low-salt diet to see what works to treat sleep apnea.
	Well, there you go.
	The war on salt is on.
	Again.
	We're back.
	Meanwhile, in France, the truckers have decided to do protests.
	This is actually better on film than this report.
	But you have to see these guys.
	If 10,000 trucks will take to the highway...
	You know, and clog all the lanes and then stop.
	Yeah, they've started.
	Yeah, this is news here.
	This is big news.
	Next, another weekend, another huge protest here in France.
	Thousands of freight trucks blocked major highways in a massive go-slow.
	This is part of ongoing protests over the French government's planned eco-tax, which would slap levies on heavy goods vehicles.
	Protesters in Britain, in northwest France, have become known for their red bonnets.
	Well, they've been taking action, and those protests have been spreading across the country.
	Excellent.
	Yeah, the French are smart, man.
	They know how to do it.
	They don't take any crap from people.
	We used to be able to do stuff that the Teamsters would get together and do something.
	No.
	They arrest everybody.
	We throw people in jail.
	We need more prisoners.
	I have something for the clip blitz.
	This is Larry Flint.
	He is publisher of Hustler Magazine, quite a hero.
	And he has said that he is not interested in seeing the guy who shot him.
	He wound up in a wheelchair because he was shot by some crazy guy.
	He doesn't want to see the guy put to death.
	He says it does no good, and he actually has a little callback to something that I have said for many, many years, that there is a reality show in some of these punishments just waiting to happen, and the Gitmo Nation East people in the UK knew what it was about in the 18th century.
	They're part of you...
	Is there a part of you for which it is difficult to separate that long-held political belief of yours from, I would guess, an understandable anger or desire for vengeance against the guy who put you in a wheelchair for life?
	No, because I'm very pragmatic.
	You know, if you're a victim of someone who's committed a crime like murder or something, I can understand why you would want to see someone put to death.
	But when you really take time to think about the fact that our system is supposed to be about justice, not vengeance.
	And when someone sets out to commit a crime like murder, They don't stop and think, well, am I going to get the life in prison or am I going to get the death penalty if I do this?
	That's not the way they think.
	It's not a deterrent.
	It never has been.
	And you know, in England, in the 18th century, pickpocketing was a capital offense.
	And they used to hang the pickpockets every Saturday in a town square.
	And while they were doing it, people would be going through the crowds picking the pockets of the people watching the pickpockets getting hanged.
	So I think the British caught on very early.
	Yes!
	This is a great idea.
	What happened to those days when we would hang people publicly?
	I am such a proponent of killing people on television.
	Yeah, I know.
	You want to make it into a reality TV show, then we can quit this gig.
	Yeah.
	Kill people on television, have crowds, you know, the whole thing.
	It's perfect.
	And do ratings, do ratings.
	How many points did he shake enough when he died?
	It's another No Agenda.
	No Agenda.
	All right, take us home, Johnny.
	What do we have?
	High School USA. All right, let's start with High School USA, clip number one.
	Connors, I'm sorry I can't figure a way out of this mess like I usually do.
	Hey, Brad, would you mind punching me just one last time?
	Sure, Blackstein.
	Of course I will.
	Ow.
	I can't believe I'm going to die, Virgin.
	Amber, last week when you weren't looking, I totally popped your cherry.
	Oh, you're the best, best ever.
	Okay, this is it.
	Whoa.
	Officer Duffy!
	Uh, you all heard me say freeze, right?
	Ew!
	The murderer's so ugly!
	Well, that depends on your political convictions.
	You see, that isn't his face.
	It's a mask!
	Of President Bush Sr.
	And this is on broadcast television.
	On Fox!
	Ha!
	This is the real fox we're looking at here.
	So we just don't have nothing but a lot of kinds of sick humor.
	Let's have a little anti-Semite stuff, too.
	Is this clip number two?
	Clip two, yes.
	Oh, eyes are awesome.
	Oh, that's not even the half of it.
	You can do all sorts of things with eyes.
	Did you know that you can blink them and roll them and wink them and close them and make them real wide or real squinty?
	Hey, how do you know so much about eyes?
	Yeah, you seem unusually confident on our little field trip to the early 90s.
	Aren't you worried about getting an F? Not this time.
	I'm used to not using technology.
	Being half black, half Jewish, I take part in a cool ancient ritual called Shabbat every other week.
	Neat.
	What's Shabbat?
	It's the Jewish day of rest when God doesn't want you to use electricity for 24 hours.
	OMG, you are so boring.
	Is this what it's like giving someone your full attention?
	This is the worst.
	All right, guys.
	It's another No Agenda.
	No Agenda!
	OMG, did I really hear that?
	Yes, that's what she said.
	Title of the show.
	OMG. OMG. Oh, outstanding.
	Good clip list, John.
	I like it a lot.
	Fantastic.
	Yeah, well...
	Sunday's the best.
	Well, speaking of the stupor of stupidity, time for Ravel!
	Every single day...
	You got some Rev Al clips?
	I got one Rev Al.
	It's a recent one.
	Now, there's two in here.
	It's a double whammy.
	What he wants to say is something is escalating.
	And it's making the...
	That's a good word.
	Escalating.
	Yeah, well, if you say escalate is good, and with this escalation, the Republicans or the GOP is giddy.
	Now, giddy is...
	What does giddy mean?
	It means you're just kind of like...
	You're just kind of excited in a kind of a shaking way.
	You're shaking, you're excited, you're just...
	Right, right.
	Yeah.
	And so, of course, the Reverend Al, the Rev...
	By the way, we looked at his ratings after the show.
	Yeah, we did.
	No wonder the guy's still on the air.
	Yeah, he's got better ratings than everybody except Rachel.
	So, what does this tell you, people?
	His ratings constitute, I think it's 600,000 listeners or viewers, which constitutes on television $600,000 in income.
	In budget, yeah.
	And so they're budgeting, so he's probably making millions.
	And 600,000 people watched him do this.
	The GOP infighting is escalating.
	Political says Democrats are outright jitty.
	Happy to watch the GOP implode.
	So he saw Giddy, G-I-D-D-Y, on the screen and pronounced it Giddy.
	And he said Esculates.
	Esculating.
	So he probably will pronounce the word GIF correctly.
	Oh, do you have that clip too?
	Do we both have that clip?
	No, I don't have that clip.
	I have the clip.
	Hit it.
	Hold on a second.
	Let me just grab this clip.
	Did you see this?
	No.
	Oh my god.
	President Obama did this thing with the Tumblr crew, the student loan thing.
	And David Karp of Tumblr interviewed the president.
	And then during this, on the West Wing Week, which is that little expanded podcast that they do with the guy with the voiceover, it turns out the president has now officially proclaimed the pronunciation of jif as gif.
	That is now by presidential proclamation.
	And this came up as David Karp from Tumblr and Obama...
	I thought David Karp was with Pando.
	No, that's a different guy.
	No, it's a different Karp.
	Okay, go on.
	As they're doing it, they're recording a fist bump jiff...
	For the Tumblr, because Tumblr is all about the GIFs, the animated GIFs.
	Yeah.
	Mainly of penises and boobs.
	Yeah, and screwing and jiggling breasts.
	Yeah, and all kinds of fetishes and stuff.
	Tumblr rocks.
	It's sick.
	It's awesome.
	It's better than X-Hamster.
	So, hold on a second.
	Somebody recognized what I said.
	So here's the presidential proclamation.
	Oh, did you see the gif?
	First of all, there was an executive order.
	It's a gif now.
	So he made the decision, just so you know.
	I'm all on top of it.
	There he is.
	So you've made up your mind.
	It's a gif?
	That is my official position.
	I mean, I've pondered it a long time.
	I think that one's going to work.
	Yes.
	Thank you, Mr.
	President.
	Thank you.
	It's now GIF. Official standpoint, executive order.
	I think that the Republicans should call it GIF. Just to be complicated.
	I got a couple of clips I want to get out of the way.
	Please.
	This is a weird one to me.
	Actually, I'm going to save this clip for the next show.
	Oh!
	Because I haven't fully analyzed it.
	Let me play something.
	Let me play something.
	Now, let this play through because there's a little point of analysis I have to do on this one.
	This is Mary Worthen, who is a very attractive history professor.
	Molly or Mary?
	That's Molly.
	Molly.
	And she's a very attractive history professor at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
	And she's got a new book out.
	Molly Worthen is a history professor here at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
	What courses do you teach, Professor Worthen?
	I teach a big survey course on the history of religion in North America.
	I teach a course on modern American intellectual history.
	One of the most fun courses I teach is called Sin and Evil in Modern America, which is a small research seminar.
	You can imagine the kinds of things the students get into in that class.
	Well, you're also the author of this book, Apostles of Reason, The Crisis of Authority in American Evangelicalism, published by Oxford.
	What is evangelicalism?
	That's a great question.
	That's not a great question.
	That is not a great question.
	Oh, you got me.
	That's been a while since you did one of those.
	Very funny.
	Very funny.
	Oh, you got me.
	I can continue with the clip of the day.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Did I say that?
	I didn't mean to say that.
	I don't call clip of the day.
	Wait a minute.
	Do you have something you think is a candidate?
	Why, do you have something?
	I've got plenty, but I'm holding back.
	I'm holding back.
	I'll be like, I'll just give you this one and see if you can top it.
	It's a children's TV cartoon series called Liberty's Kids.
	And the clip was shown on the soup.
	It's very obscure, but it's out there.
	It's floating around.
	I'd love to get the original series because I'm sure there's more gems like this.
	There's nothing seditious about an intelligent woman wanting to keep well informed.
	That's for Black Dick to decide.
	Boson, pass the tow line.
	Black Dick?
	That's what the sailors call I don't know how.
	Give us Black Dick and we fear nothing.
	But why do they call him Black Dick?
	Perhaps he has a dark temperament.
	Yeah, you got it.
	There's nothing to fear when Black Dick is around.
	Thank you for a juvenile laugh.
	It's always nice.
	All right.
	So, a few things about Haiti.
	Well, before we do that, let's do something light.
	I have a light clip.
	I want to get it out of here.
	Oh.
	Something light.
	You know how we talk about, you know, the cop shows and then they take the one pixel relation of the license plate and push a button and then you can see it clearly?
	Zoom in.
	Rotate.
	Look in the reflection in the mirror.
	Ah, it's our man.
	There's a new one.
	No, please don't tell me.
	Yes, this is all new.
	This is a new video trick.
	Another new impossible video trick.
	This is a beauty.
	See if you can catch it.
	This is from the TV show Blue Bloods.
	Okay, hold on.
	Here we go.
	Actually, the shooter's out of frame there.
	Where were you again?
	I'm right over there.
	Do you have any other cameras?
	Another angle?
	Can't see a bunch of anything here.
	Well, we're going to need to take this for evidence.
	You know, Tarun can enhance the video, maybe expand the view.
	Yeah.
	What can you tell us about this guy, King?
	He's out of frame, but somehow we can magically expand the view.
	Isn't that a gem?
	Oh, this is great.
	Hey, why don't we do that for the 9-11 attack of the Pentagon?
	Yes, expand the view.
	Just expand the view.
	We should be able to see it, no problem.
	That would be perfect.
	Yeah, let's do this one.
	one.
	Haven't done this in a while.
	Second half of show, John.
	Second half of show!
	Today, a very important day.
	We have a launch taking off.
	I believe it's on Atlas...
	Oh, yes.
	There we go.
	Atlas V. Atlas V. 5.
	Atlas V. Taking off.
	And this will launch the...
	It should have taken off this morning, I believe.
	I believe so, yes.
	I don't know if it did.
	Let's find out.
	While you do that, I'll be goofing around.
	I need you to pay attention.
	I need you to listen, though.
	You need to listen.
	This is to put the Orion space vehicle into the space.
	NASA has a, you know, they do great videos.
	They're really good at showing you the animation of what's supposedly happening.
	As you know, I'm sometimes critical of facts that have been presented to us on television.
	It has gotten me in a lot of trouble.
	And when I was watching this NASA video.
	How does it get you into any trouble?
	I've been banned from twit.
	NASA's Orion launch scrubbed, rescheduled for Friday.
	Oh, boy.
	Well, good.
	Then we get to talk about it more.
	It'll just be tomorrow when they launch instead of today.
	So NASA has this great video, a very excited guy, explaining how it's going to work and what they're going to do and how it's all going to fit together.
	And as I'm watching this, I'm saying, wait a minute!
	Now, you know the...
	In fact, when I was banned from said program, it was due to...
	My questioning of the travel through the Van Allen belts, which are radiation belts, in order to get to the moon.
	Right, there's a number of people that have this argument.
	And this is, in fact, one of the main reasons for this Orion.
	Let me just play this and we will discuss after.
	We are headed 3,600 miles above Earth, 15 times higher from the planet than the International Space Station.
	As we get further away from Earth, we'll pass through the Van Allen Belt, an area of dangerous radiation.
	Radiation like this can harm the guidance systems, onboard computers, or other electronics on Orion.
	Naturally, we have to pass through this danger zone twice, once up and once back.
	But Orion has protection.
	Shielding will be put to the test as the vehicle cuts through the waves of radiation.
	Sensors aboard will record radiation levels for scientists to study.
	We must solve these challenges before we send people through this region of space.
	For this flight, it's time to head home.
	This kind of makes my point for me.
	This is a big 3,600 miles!
	The distance to the moon, I might point out, is 238,900 miles, which we did, you know, over 40 years ago, through the Van Allen belts, which we now have to somehow test because it's too dangerous for people.
	Explain.
	Explain what?
	Explain.
	Explain what?
	The Van Allen belts are bad.
	There's some areas, according to the NASA folks, that you can shoot through at a high speed and get past them, because it's not one...
	That's not what he said.
	He said something very different.
	He said, before we put people...
	Maybe he was going through the thick of it.
	Before we can...
	Okay.
	It's not a same-size belt, one size fits all.
	It's thick in some areas, it's thin in others.
	Oh, you've been there?
	I haven't been there.
	I've looked at the pictures.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Look, I'm just going by what he's saying.
	He's saying, oh, it's very dangerous.
	We have to test it before we send people to it.
	Chime in and hold their hand up and ask the question.
	That's what I'd like to know.
	I didn't see any press conference.
	This was a video, which is highly produced.
	They have press conferences about this, I'm sure.
	I don't even know.
	I think this whole thing is bogus.
	I think this is a spy mission of some sort.
	He also makes a big deal out of 36,000 miles.
	Pfft.
	This is very strange.
	And they're not taking any chances on this thing.
	They're not going to just casually launch it.
	They keep putting it off.
	This is the second or third delay.
	As the exploration flight test, the EFT one.
	Yeah, I haven't looked into it so much.
	I figured this is more your alley.
	Yeah, and there it is.
	I have questions.
	I get no answers.
	No, you don't.
	No, I guess I don't deserve any answers.
	Now, you would say, see, the problem is you're inconsistent.
	You make the claim that nobody ever went to the moon, ever, sometimes, and then sometimes they say, well, they didn't do the initial ones to the moon, but later, the later of the nine flights.
	I'm completely consistent, and I have said, I do not believe that moon landing.
	That moon landing, the number one moon landing, the one where they lost, this is the only thing that you see, you got a lot going for you.
	They lost all the tapes, the originals were destroyed.
	Yeah, it's all these annoying little things, John.
	Yeah, well that one, I agree with you.
	This is like one of the most historic events in the history of mankind.
	And you lose it.
	You lose the tapes.
	Didn't they get bulk erased or something?
	It was even better than that.
	Something stupid.
	Some bogus way of...
	Yeah, that really sounds legitimate!
	So, okay, you got that going for you.
	But you also have claimed that they've gone up there at the other times, because I think the argument would be, well, they didn't want to take a chance on the first one, botching it up and killing everybody, so they phonied it up, so it was a big deal, and then they could do the other ones with less eyeballs on them.
	But that doesn't make sense at all, because if you can't get through the Van Allen belts, you can't get through the Van Allen belts under any circumstances.
	They would have never gone to the moon ever.
	Then that's very possible.
	That would trump me.
	That's not inconsistent.
	I'm just pointing out what is being said by NASA. Okay.
	That it's dangerous to push people through it.
	I've known other people that are very sincere about this, and I think I can't prove them wrong.
	And I just say, well, that's the way, you know, I just, I'll believe the government in this case.
	But if it was all bullcrap, they showed it, yeah, we're sorry we did that, because, you know, I would say, ah, well, there you go.
	I'd be out partying in the street.
	I would not be actually surprised, but I would be disappointed.
	They should just cop to it already.
	So we know that Hillary Clinton has a Lucifer.
	I'm going to have to change the name now.
	Lucifer does not get along well with the Secret Service at all.
	In fact, we've discussed on the show previously, she can never be president because then the Secret Service will blow the lid on her.
	Well, they'll blow it off of whatever it is they have the lid to blow.
	But during the Clinton administration, I have some friends in Washington that told me that Of course, they were claiming that Clinton wasn't going to get re-elected because of her, and she apparently treats the Secret Service like scum.
	So I got a note from one of our military personnel.
	One of my shooting buddies was on White House Detail with the Secret Service and had to get four stitches in his head when Hillary threw a highball glass at him after he refused her order to fix her a drink.
	And he said, look, I'm a Secret Service agent, ma'am.
	I'm not your bartender.
	And you know what the code word is that all the Secret Service guys use in D.C., but also when she flies into Afghanistan, they all have a code word, right?
	Yeah, they all do.
	What's Obama's code word?
	Do we know his code name?
	I think we had it on the show once.
	I don't know what it is anymore.
	Hold on a second.
	Let's just find out.
	Yeah, that would be in the Book of Knowledge.
	Let's see if the Book of Knowledge can help us out here.
	Renegade.
	What?
	Renegade.
	Really?
	Renegade.
	Really.
	Do you know what Lucifer's codename is?
	Well, I'm looking.
	No, no, no.
	This is not going to be on the Book of Knowledge.
	This is what the guys...
	Well, it will be on the Book of Knowledge once this show gets fanscribed.
	It'll be indexed.
	Let me tell you what it says in the National NNDB for her.
	So then you can give me the real one or the new one or whatever they're using.
	Because I'm sure that changes anyway.
	Where are you?
	Hillary Clinton.
	Bill Clinton was eagle.
	Spread eagle.
	Eagle.
	Chelsea Clinton was energy.
	So she must have been a little go-getter.
	And Hillary Clinton was evergreen.
	Well, the guys in Afghanistan, where this comes from, of course, call her broomstick.
	Broomstick.
	I love that one, because it has so many multiple meanings.
	Broomstick is on our way in.
	Warning, warning, 30 seconds till Broomstick arrives.
	Chuck, Chuck, Broomstick's on our way.
	So here's the clip on Broomstick leaving that I promised you on Sunday's show.
	What could we do to persuade you to run for vice president?
	Ha ha ha!
	Oh my goodness.
	Oh my goodness.
	I'm so flattered.
	Let me get my broomstick.
	First of all, it's one of the most extraordinary, wonderful experiences being able to work with all of you.
	Which I am always telling people everywhere how privileged I am.
	I think I have made it clear that I will certainly stay on until the President nominates someone and that transition can occur.
	But I think after 20 years, and it will be 20 years, of being on the high wire of American history, It would be probably a good idea to just find out how tired I am.
	Everyone always says that when they leave these jobs.
	And I think from my perspective, I will, you know, just work as hard as I can until the last minute.
	I have the honor of being secretary and certainly do everything, no matter what I do, which I have no idea what it will be, to support all of you.
	And I am happy to work with Vice President Biden, who does an excellent job and is a huge advocate and supporter for this department and for USAID. So it's a little odd for me to be totally out of an election season, since as Secretary of State I cannot participate.
	But, you know, I didn't watch any of those debates.
	Exactly.
	Well, there you have it.
	She's a self-professed, tired bitch.
	There you go.
	So, let's go over some of these code names.
	These are kind of funny.
	By the way, they do change.
	Some people have one, too.
	Like, George H.W. Bush was first Sheepskin, then Snowstorm, then Timberwolf.
	So, it's not...
	Barbara Bush was Snowbank, then Tranquility.
	Oh!
	Tim, what was Barbara Bush's name?
	She was originally Snowbanked and it was Tranquility.
	Oh, Snowbanked.
	Jimmy Carter was Dasher, then Deacon, and then Lockmaster.
	Apparently when Obama visited the Gitmo Nation East, they called him, the officials there had codenamed him Smart Alec.
	That's just from the Book of Knowledge, so I don't know if it's true.
	It's not listed here.
	Here he's listed as Renegade, which you said.
	And Michelle Obama is Renaissance.
	Oh, I'm looking at the same document now that you have.
	Okay.
	Yeah, then Malia Obama is Radiance.
	Sasha is Rosebud.
	Sarah Palin is Denali.
	Denali?
	That's interesting.
	Yeah, Denali.
	And Todd is Driller.
	Really?
	What is Denali?
	JFK was Lancer.
	Hmm.
	Cindy McCain, Parasol.
	My favorite is you've got the Reagan ones.
	Reagan was always apparently Rawhide, but Michael Reagan, the talk show host, is Riddler.
	Nancy Reagan, Rainbow.
	Oh, Dick Cheney, codename Backseat.
	Ooh, as in Backseat Driver.
	Yeah, probably.
	That's kind of good.
	These are good.
	I like these.
	And there's like a Frank Sinatra apparently had some codename.
	Napoleon.
	Napoleon.
	Hey, man, we need some cool code names.
	Oh, well.
	I mean, Crackpot and Buzzkill, that's like public knowledge.
	Now we need some, like, secret code.
	All right, you want to do Clip Blitz, the little short ones?
	Hold on a second.
	You want to do Clip Blitz?
	Yeah, we can do that.
	Everybody, here we go, time out.
	1, 2, 3, 2, 1.
	Blitz!
	All right, John, I want you to clip blitz.
	Bring it on.
	Bill O'Reilly, dragging wife.
	Bill O'Reilly, dragging wife.
	E-I-E-I-O. Fox News host Bill O'Reilly has lost residential custody of his two teenage children following a lengthy custody battle during which his 17-year-old daughter told a forensic examiner that she watched O'Reilly dragging her mother down a staircase by her neck.
	Although the New York appeals court ruled O'Reilly's two children should live solely with their mother, Maureen McPhilmy, O'Reilly still maintains shared legal custody over them.
	Red, 33!
	All right, Clint Blitz, Clint Blitz, Clint Blitz!
	Bill Clinton G. We should have the list known beforehand.
	I was very affected by...
	What?
	The fascist attempt to take over in Spain.
	So I bought out of the army.
	Then I didn't know how to get to Spain.
	Until one day I was going to work and...
	What is that?
	I'm sorry, I thought that was Bill Clinton.
	That was an error.
	Concord II. This is a good one, John.
	Well, supersonic air travel could soon be on course for a comeback.
	Flying faster than the speed of sound is something the Concorde jet made possible until it was taken out of service 13 years ago.
	But now NASA has awarded a $20 million contract to American defense contractor Lockheed Martin to develop a new supersonic aircraft.
	The plan is to have a passenger plane ready for takeoff by the year 2020.
	Well, some conditions have already been set.
	The supersonic plane will have to be more fuel-efficient and a whole lot quieter than the good old Concorde.
	It has to be green.
	Green Concorde.
	This is where I get to tell my Concorde trivia, because we never talk about the Concorde.
	One, the Concorde, after it crashed in Germany with a German company that had leased it out for a party.
	Bad day.
	A real day wrecker, that was.
	Did receive an Airworthiness certificate and was scheduled to make its maiden voyage re-entering into the aviation world on what date?
	September 11th.
	You nailed it.
	That's right.
	September 11th, 2001.
	There you go.
	And I flew on the Concorde a couple times.
	Yeah, well, I'm going to fly on this next one.
	Yeah.
	Onward with Clip Blitz.
	Red 33!
	Clip Blitz!
	Google car.
	Yeah, I heard about this one.
	Well, meanwhile, Google says one of its self-driving cars has hit a bus.
	The accident in the city of Mountain View.
	I love that one.
	It was going two miles an hour, but still, it proves that it made an unwise decision based upon the science and the algorithm, which I just call skip logic.
	Yeah.
	And this is all anti-Google self-driving car.
	I think so.
	I think this is the beginning.
	We're going to see a bunch of this kind of thing.
	Here's a story nobody's played up at all, and I think it's important.
	This is the Iraq update dam.
	In Iraq, U.S. officials are warning the country's largest dam is facing a, quote, unprecedented risk of catastrophic failure.
	The U.S. embassy warns if the Mosul dam collapses, hundreds of thousands of people would be at risk of drowning and more than a million people would be displaced.
	Meanwhile, a spate of deadly suicide bombings by ISIL in Iraq have killed more than 130 people over the last few days.
	Hooray!
	I've seen this crop up.
	I've seen this story crop up.
	Yeah, but we talked about this on the show a while ago, that when Mosul Dam was also in play, oh, if they blow that up, then all these people downstream will die.
	They're bringing this back for some reason.
	Let me finish clip blitz with this.
	My favorite story, this is a Bay Area story, cop fights prisoners.
	Formal charges have been filed against two San Francisco sheriff's deputies and a former deputy.
	They're all accused of forcing jail inmates to fight each other for entertainment in a gladiator-style fight club.
	KTVU's Henry Link tells us San Francisco's district attorney detailed the charges during a news conference today.
	San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon says the deputies forced county jail inmates Ricardo Garcia and Stanley Harris, who is much bigger than Garcia, to fight each other at least twice in the jail on Bryant Street.
	Then deputies Scott New allegedly told the two inmates that if they didn't fight each other, he'd handcuff them, mace or tase them, beat them or send them to a different jail.
	This crime severely undermined the moral authority of the honest, hardworking deputies that work hard day in and day out.
	To protect us.
	Public defender Jeff Adachi helped bring the allegations to light.
	We call this sort of a Game of Thrones gladiator fight.
	Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.
	This is your police.
	Yeah, yeah, gosh.
	Board...
	Prison guards.
	Yeah.
	Well, John, thank you very much.
	That was, I have to say, a very, very good clip.
	That's right, everybody.
	Well, I picked up a clip.
	You know, one of these retrospectives?
	Yeah.
	I thought I'd just change the topic here.
	This is from the best of C-SPAN. This was a couple of years ago.
	This clip is the best of C-SPAN call-ins.
	I thought it would be worth sharing.
	Phone calls of one of three lines.
	Our next call, Newark, New Jersey.
	Go ahead.
	Yeah, hi.
	I got myself into really bad debt.
	I was...
	Paying one credit card off with another for over four years.
	It just went on and on.
	And, you know, I mean, I'm like really broke right now about to file bankruptcy.
	You know, I'm trying to get a penile implant.
	I need to enlarge my package, pick up the chick these days.
	Oxford, North Carolina is up next.
	Good morning.
	Why didn't it like a no-agenda show?
	Something, anything.
	Yeah, this guy gets on, but no-agenda people don't care.
	Okay, that was dubious.
	No clip of the day?
	No, you don't get clip of the day for that.
	No!
	Before we thank our producers and executive producers, I want to roll out a little anomaly that I noticed over the past week.
	I see, just came in today, apparently Apple has now released iOS 9.3.1, which would fix the problem I was having with my iPhone, and of course I was not alone.
	It is now day six, so six days after this started.
	Of course we had Easter, and why would anyone work on Easter?
	No.
	And I was right, actually.
	I was right about the shared web credentials, and it turns out...
	Well, the actual technical reason is not that interesting, because it's obfuscating something else.
	Because there was an issue with the iOS 9.3 release initially.
	If you probably saw...
	It was more than a week before my problem started.
	They issued it.
	It then quote unquote bricked older iPhones.
	They pulled it back and reissued it.
	And there was something different about this.
	Okay.
	As you recall, this affected older devices.
	And what would happen was, you would install, the install would start, and then it would say, you need your iCloud credentials.
	And for whatever reason, that broke a lot of people's installs.
	So Apple took it back, then they re-released it.
	Now, even though it was 9.3...
	And the last few numbers of the release were the same.
	It was 2, 3.
	Actually, strangely enough, I think it was 3, 3 at the end.
	For those older phones.
	And then people could unbrick their phones.
	And there was iPad 2s, and here it comes.
	iPhone 5.
	And they could restore them with a new update without being signed by Apple, but being signed or authenticated by your iCloud login.
	And this was just quickly, they put it out, people could fix it only for those devices, and it didn't really adhere to my problem.
	There were no other devices that were bricked.
	What's interesting is the next day, the FBI says...
	Yeah, we don't need Apple.
	We're all good.
	It's all fine.
	We're in.
	So you're adding two and two.
	I am.
	I'm saying Apple released something specifically for iPhone 5, iPad 2, and it didn't work, and then they re-released it, and instead of Apple signing the update, if you had iCloud credentials, which we know the FBI has the iCloud credentials because they reset them, it is not, as far as I understand, not dependent on the device to have the same password.
	You could override that for this one time, for this one release.
	Boom!
	Collaborators!
	Holy crap!
	Shave their heads, I tell ya!
	I've never even thought of what you just said, being part of the solution to that other issue that we're having.
	And a lot of people are going to say, No!
	And it's fine.
	I'm just saying...
	You're going to say that anyway.
	With that voice, by the way.
	The timing of this is very, very suspicious.
	There was something interesting that was, I read it on Hot Rod Atomic Atoms blog about this company called Transatomic Power.
	It's a startup.
	They got a couple million dollars.
	They have a design which surprisingly dates back, I think to 1925 or something, of a small nuclear reactor that eats waste from other reactors.
	Well, here's a clip.
	One of the co-founders, of course, they have nothing.
	They have a little money and a development budget, and it probably won't go anywhere.
	But surprisingly, she was on a GPS, that's the anti-constitutional douchebag known as Fareed Zakaria, who was surprisingly kind to her.
	So you have to question why that was taking place.
	Here's a clip from that interview.
	What are the problems that you were trying to solve?
	So each conventional nuclear power plant in the U.S. today produces about 20 metric tons of high-level waste that's radioactive for hundreds of thousands of years.
	And there isn't really a solution for it yet.
	Until now, perhaps.
	Using a design that was invented 50 years ago, they created the waste-annihilating molten salt reactor.
	Ooh!
	The waste-annihilating molten salt reactor!
	Or whamzer.
	Whamzer!
	We've got to get bumper stickers.
	I love a whamzer.
	The whamzer uses molten salt to dissolve nuclear fuel.
	That ultimately reduces both the radioactivity and the amount of waste.
	The new reactor could create just 10 to 20 kilograms of long-lived waste per year instead of the 20 metric tons produced by a traditional commercial plant.
	20 kilograms of waste is about the size of a grapefruit.
	And the remaining waste that comes out, it's waste that's radioactive for just a few hundred years, so much shorter than the hundreds of thousands of years from other plants.
	And here's another big plus.
	Around the world today, there exist about 270,000 metric tons of high-level nuclear waste.
	Wamsa could eat that waste and turn it into electricity.
	So this sounds great.
	Why wouldn't everybody adopt this design?
	That's what we're hoping, ultimately.
	Is it more expensive?
	Is your plan more expensive?
	It's actually about half the cost per megawatt overnight construction of conventional nuclear reactors.
	And that makes it, we can be on par with coal.
	And we're trying to reduce the cost further to make it on par with natural gas.
	Oh, this sounds like a revolution!
	We should be all over this.
	What did Rod Adams say about it in the newsletter?
	Well, he's the one that pointed out.
	He's always been telling us about these backyard nukes, this small stuff that can eat its own waste.
	This has been his consistent message.
	He actually sent me an email.
	He said, just so you know, the World Bank released their annual study of energy and There's exactly one little itty-bitty article about one small reactor.
	This is not in anyone's interest except, oh, the people.
	But it's not in the interest of gas and oil and coal.
	Because once you have this, there's not a lot of money to be made unless you want to make the cost of the actual electricity astronomically expensive.
	Did you see this movie going around the net on chemtrails?
	Which one?
	Well, the one that we got recently, which discusses the meetings that were taking place, putting the aluminum dust in the air.
	Yeah, what the hell on earth are they spraying?
	You mean that one?
	Because of, yeah, because of the...
	I'm sorry.
	I'm trying to cut down on chemtrails.
	How's it going?
	You got me.
	They're trying to cut down on global warming, so they're going to put this shit in the air to cloud up the place.
	Yeah, that's the excuse.
	And it's all submicron particles, which are actually toxic, so as they come to Earth, no matter what you do, you breathe them in, you just poison the entire world, the globe.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	That's what they're up to.
	Yes, yes.
	Yeah, what about it?
	He's probably trying to kill us all.
	Oh, well, finally.
	It's taken me five years, but he finally comes around, ladies and gentlemen.
	No, no, no.
	I'm not coming around at all.
	I'm just saying this seems suspicious.
	You're busted.
	You're coming around.
	Seems suspicious.
	You're coming around.
	Good one.
	We got you.
	Ladies and gentlemen, another chemtrail truther, John Siegel.
	And by the way, your chemtrail theory has always been they're spraying weird chemicals in the air so they can sedate the public so nobody complains too much.
	It's different than killing off the public.
	It seems to be working, doesn't it?
	Well, you've got a pretty passive group out there, yeah, that's for sure.
	The kids are getting in on it now.
	Well, this is very interesting.
	The document that I had has all of a sudden been removed, but there was an airworthiness directive.
	This is very interesting.
	You always have to save page as.
	I have.
	I'd save page as, but I don't have it here on this machine.
	Anyway, if you're going to poop on an airplane, just try and hold it in.
	Seriously, don't poop.
	Don't stay in the bathroom too long, and I will tell you why.
	An airworthiness directive has been issued, which an AD, as it's known, means you have to comply with this and you have to do it within a certain time frame.
	This is an emergency AD, airworthiness directive.
	I follow these, being an aviator.
	Various transport category airplanes equipped with chemical oxygen generators have to be removed from the laboratory.
	In other words, if you are in the bathroom and there is a sudden drop in cabin pressure, you will have no oxygen available to you in that area of the plane.
	The reason why is security reasons.
	Because, of course, someone could tamper with that and turn it into a bomb.
	Makes sense.
	Right.
	Yeah, makes total sense.
	So now when you're flying, if there's a loss in cabin pressure and you're in the bathroom, well, kiss your ass goodbye because you're dying.
	Unless you can really run back quickly and get yourself some oxygen.
	This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.
	Take out the oxygen in the bathroom because someone might try and blow up the plane with it.
	Brother.
	Oh, brother is right, my friend.
	I didn't even know there was a thing that flopped down in the bathroom.
	Yep.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Okay.
	Well, how many times, by the way, you've flown commercially a few times, haven't you?
	It has occurred.
	Yeah.
	How many times in your...
	Zero.
	Just zero.
	Just zero.
	Zero.
	Never happened.
	You're telling me that in flying for 30 plus years, you have never had an incident where you've needed oxygen?
	40 plus years.
	I was flying when we had to wear suits and my sisters wore white gloves and hats.
	So for 40 years, and you fly a lot, at least for a while.
	I used to, yeah.
	And you've never had this happen?
	Never.
	Have you?
	No, as a matter of fact, it's never happened to me.
	And the funny thing is I don't know anyone who ever has happened to.
	Oh, except one guy.
	Take it back.
	There was a story.
	I'll tell it.
	And I took this flight.
	It was the flight from Denver to Aspen.
	And it's a miserable flight over the Rockies.
	And typically back in the day when you had to fly on some of these prop Jet Electras, as you recall, they were kind of a sickening ride.
	And this guy's flying in on, he told the story after the fact, on a smaller plane.
	It was a prop job going over the mountains, up and down, up and down, up and down.
	Everyone was getting sick and throwing up.
	Cool.
	And the plane kind of went into kind of like, it was just, people were, it was just a puke fest.
	Everybody was thrown up all over the place.
	And apparently there was puke everywhere and it was all along the, it got in the aisles and the plane went into kind of a nosedive.
	And it rolled down the aisle.
	The stewardess fell on her ass and slid on the puke all the way to the front of the plane.
	Sorry.
	And the oxygen mask came down.
	That's what I was told.
	That's awesome.
	Great story.
	It's a visual thing.
	Uplifting story, John.
	Uplifting story.
	Some magic numbers for you.
	I was offside.
	While you bring this up, there was another interview, which is doing the rounds.
	Excuse me.
	This is one of the former Greenpeace guy who is now a consultant to Monsanto.
	There's a lot of GMO stuff.
	Let me see.
	Let me just see if I can find this guy's name.
	He was being interviewed in France about...
	I think he was there to promote this golden rice.
	We've talked about this before.
	The golden rice with the vitamin A. Yeah, which is going to save the world of overpopulation.
	I'm just cutting to the chase.
	That's what they're saying.
	That's really what they're trying to tell you.
	So this guy is there, and he consults for Monsanto.
	Patrick Moore is his name.
	And there's a report that came out, which I have not gone through in any detailed fashion yet, saying that Roundup Ready, the main Monsanto herbicide, insecticide, insecticide, No, herbicide.
	Okay, that does not kill their genetically modified seeds, which Bill Gates and these guys are trying to spread all over Africa, because then we'll own the continent.
	Well, we've been trying to kill off the Africans for some time.
	Hello?
	They're annoying.
	They don't...
	I have stuff on that, too.
	Anyway, I do.
	So the interviewer does something really, really interesting when this guy is pontificating about how safe Roundup Ready is.
	I do not believe that glyphosate in Argentina is causing increases in cancer.
	You can drink a whole quart of it and it won't hurt you.
	You want to drink some?
	We have some here.
	I'd be happy to, actually.
	Okay.
	He's like, you can drink a whole quart and it won't kill you.
	And the guy says, oh, you want some, but got some right here.
	Yeah, I'd be happy to.
	Not really, but...
	Not really?
	I know it wouldn't hurt.
	Not really.
	If you say so, I have some...
	No, no, I'm not stupid.
	First he says...
	What a great interview.
	Yeah, first he says...
	You can drink it, then he won't drink it.
	Yeah.
	You want to drink some?
	We have some here.
	I'd be happy to, actually.
	Not really, but...
	I know it wouldn't hurt me.
	If you say so, I have some glyphosate.
	No, no, I'm not stupid.
	Ah, okay, so you...
	No, but I know...
	So it's dangerous, right?
	No, people try to commit suicide, but they fail fairly regularly.
	Tell the truth.
	It's not dangerous to humans.
	No, it's not.
	So are you ready to drink one glass of glyphosate?
	No, I'm not an idiot.
	Interview me about golden rice.
	That's what I'm talking about.
	Okay, then it's finished.
	Then the interview is finished.
	That's a good way to solve things.
	Yeah.
	You're a complete jerk.
	You're a complete jerk.
	That is a great...
	It's borderline clip of the day, but it's just...
	Why wouldn't I give it to you?
	I think it's because I think these kinds of things go on a lot.
	All the time.
	It's okay.
	I'm not...
	You're an idiot.
	You're a complete jerk.
	You're an idiot.
	It's good.
	Well, this does come amidst a whole bunch of news about...
	And by the way, let me stop.
	If the guy comes on and makes a blanket statement, hey, you can drink, I drink a quart of it, and you won't even have a sip, what are you doing on the show?
	You big bony?
	That's why he left.
	He knew he had nothing left to do there.
	He sucked.
	Here's another thing people should be aware of.
	You're going to go on a show and pull a stunt like this.
	For one thing, you're dishonest to begin with.
	But if you're going to leave the guy hanging there with you not in there, all he's going to do is rag on you.
	Yeah, of course.
	That's what I would do.
	I've only had...
	One guy, when I was doing Real Computing, I think was the show, or Software Hard Talk, one of the two, and this was during the early days of the MP3 era, and I had Skunk Baxter on, who's a very interesting character in himself.
	Wait, isn't he a bass player?
	No, he's the guitarist in...
	Oh, guitarist.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, guitarist.
	That guy.
	And his manager...
	And his manager was, I don't know what was wrong with the guy, but he was just yelling and screaming like a maniac about people stealing music.
	And it was crazy to the point where you couldn't ask him a simple question without him yelling and screaming.
	We had to kill the interview.
	We just killed it.
	We never ran.
	I've had some tough interviews in my time.
	You run into these guys, but the worst, of course, is the guy who doesn't say anything.
	Yeah, I had one, Brian Adams, who I was a huge fan of Brian Adams, and finally I was going to meet him, interview him, but he was on tour, which, you know, that's why I give him some leeway many years after the fact, but I was, like, excited, you know, like, oh, cool, I'm going to talk to Brian Adams.
	He was a total dick.
	It's like, man, wouldn't answer anything, you know, just a glib.
	That's why I've always concluded, you don't want it, this whole model is terrible.
	Did you hear that there was a bomb threat in Petaluma?
	There's always a bomb threat in Petaluma.
	There's a lot of meth heads up there.
	At the Twit Brickhouse.
	Oh, there was?
	Yeah.
	I never heard this.
	Yeah.
	March 23rd.
	This is the police.
	Petaluma Police Dispatch received a phone call from a male who claimed he had placed eight pipe bombs at 140 Keller Street.
	When Police Dispatch asked why they picked that address, the male caller said because it was the Twit Brickhouse and they're all going to die.
	What?
	The caller was asked why he was upset with Twit, and the caller stated he was not just upset with them, but his whole life.
	The caller claimed he was going to take them all out, and the bombs he had placed in the building would go off in three hours.
	The caller then made threats to go to the business and shoot all of the occupants of the building before the bombs went off.
	The caller hung up after this statement.
	Petaluma police responded to the business and contacted the management of Twit.
	That'd have been a time to watch the live feed.
	Which is a technology podcast company.
	Oh, Leo will hate that.
	Providing the latest perspective and trends in digital technology.
	Phones.
	The management of the company was advised of the call and the need for police to perform a visual inspection of the inside of the building to attempt and locate any explosive devices.
	Company employees were not ordered to evacuate the building.
	However, they were advised for the safety of their employees it might be best for them to leave.
	Most employees left until the business could be cleared by police.
	Huh.
	Huh.
	That's not very nice.
	No.
	Funny.
	Funny, but it's not really nice.
	I've got material.
	I won't use it.
	The Keeper and I, you know, sometimes we realize that we have certain cultural things that we like, and we discovered that we both had watched a lot of Elvis movies when we were kids.
	Already funny.
	Yeah, it is.
	And I apologize.
	Actually, in hindsight, I probably should have clipped it.
	So we decide, Saturday afternoon, let's watch Elvis' movie.
	We chose Blue Hawaii.
	Now, the reason I bring this up, you'll recall the last time we went back and looked at an old movie, it was Breakfast at Tiffany's, which is heralded as Audrey Hepburn, best piece of work ever, and it's a screwball, crazy-ass, stupid-ass movie.
	And you kind of agreed to that.
	Do you recall Blue Hawaii by Elvis at all?
	Vaguely.
	So it opens up.
	He's coming back from the army.
	He's been gone for two years.
	He lands in Hawaii.
	The plane door is open.
	It's the steps down the tarmac.
	His girlfriend is waiting.
	He's making out with the stewardess, looking at his girlfriend, saying, Hey, baby, I was just fooling around.
	And she goes, Okay, Elvis.
	And it's okay.
	They go along.
	And then he's throwing her in the water.
	He's tripping her on the beach.
	17-year-olds spanking them, spanking them.
	And then the girls sit down on a pillow later and say, Oh, yes, I'll be much better now.
	It's unbelievable!
	The whole movie is one big misogynistic piece of crap.
	I don't recall it that way.
	Huh.
	Well, what did the Keeper think?
	Does she remember it that way?
	No, no!
	She must have been outraged.
	No, we were both.
	Jaws dropped.
	Like, holy crap.
	We've come a long way.
	Albus was just a dick, in this movie at least, in this movie.
	It was made in 1963, so of course that was the year before I was born even.
	But I encourage everybody, just watch that, just the opening sequence, and you can flip through it.
	But boy, Hollywood was mean towards women 50 years ago, 52 years ago.
	Yeah, well, yeah, 52 years ago.
	Yeah.
	Okay, well, I suppose if you went back 80 years ago, it'd be worse.
	Yeah, probably.
	But this is within my lifetime, so I say, you know.
	Well, you were only one.
	No, I was zero.
	I was minus one.
	Okay, it wasn't within your lifetime.
	Hello?
	Hello?
	Okay.
	It was not even within your lifetime.
	Yes, this movie, I saw it within my lifetime.
	That's my point.
	Well, yeah.
	When I was a kid.
	When I was a kid.
	I watched old Charlie Chaplin films, too.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Exactly.
	I think a lot of the Elvis movies were misogynist.
	I think a lot of the stuff from the 50s.
	What year was that movie?
	You said 62?
	63.
	63.
	Uh-huh.
	Huh.
	Yeah, that was just before the...
	The flower children, civil rights, hippies.
	Oh, and I will say, although it was much more focused on the misogyny, you know, they have little helpers in the...
	Because, of course, Elvis' parents owned the fantastic Hawaiian fruit company or something, and they have all these little slaves running around, you know, like Indonesian-type little boys.
	Hey, boy, go get the hose, boy!
	Ha, ha, ha!
	Unbelievable.
	It should be banned from Netflix.
	I'm outraged.
	We should be banning Netflix for even allowing that to be shown.
	I'm going to show myself old by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	Yeah.
	Well, we're back live, kind of, at least in the middle of the clips.
	That was pretty good.
	I was surprised.
	Yeah, I love the little clip blitz thing that he put in there.
	Yeah, that was good.
	We need to do that in the show more often.
	Clip blitz.
	We haven't done it for a while.
	Yeah.
	Well, you know why?
	It's because we keep running out of time.
	It's like, we try to keep it under three hours.
	We really do.
	But sometimes it's just hard.
	Yeah, the clip blitz requires a lot of short clips.
	Yeah, and that's the way it's done.
	Well, maybe we'll see what the new year brings us.
	Which, of course, we'll be kicking off next Sunday.
	And we will have...
	Actually, we're doing a show in the middle of it.
	Yeah, on Thursday.
	We're still doing a show on Thursday.
	So we might as well remind people that they can help the show out by contributing to this upcoming Thursday show and then the following New Year's show.
	And we work most holidays.
	At Thanksgiving we tend to work.
	When Christmas falls on is show day.
	And a Sunday at the same time, it's pretty hard to pull it off.
	Yeah.
	And people just aren't listening.
	That's what we found out.
	So we'll do it this way.
	It's perfect.
	And we'll remind people that people came in with donations for this show, and there's enough of them.
	They'll be moved to the Thursday show.
	With profuse thanks.
	And so we have a longer little read on the Thursdays.
	And anyone who comes in like today or afterwards, dvorak.org slash NA is a good place to go.
	There will be a newsletter you probably received yesterday.
	And, uh, I think everything, uh, everything should, I think we just might as well just continue on with our clips.
	All right, so again, that reminder for our next show, which will be on Thursday, uh, you can go to Dvorak.org slash NA. Now back to the music nonstop on the No Agenda show.
	I'm sorry, wrong station.
	uh ramsey kane sir ramsey kane part two of our extravaganza for christmas 2016.
	all right i'm i'm the timekeeper Red, 33!
	Clip blitz!
	Clip blitz!
	It's time for the Clip Blitz.
	It is John C. Dvorak's favorite moment at the end of the show.
	Okay, let's start with Brazil NBC. Farm oil in Brazil comes just months before the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
	The television network NBC said Tuesday it's already surpassed $1 billion in advertising sales for the Rio Olympics, putting it on track to set a record for the most national advertising ever sold for a single event.
	Nice!
	No criticism of that event.
	Red 33!
	Earthquakes.
	Earthquakes.
	About 7 million people in the United States live in areas at risk of an earthquake induced by human activity.
	That's according to a new report by the U.S. Geological Survey, which said states, including Oklahoma and Kansas, are now at as high of a risk as earthquake-prone California of a devastating earthquake.
	The central United States has seen a spike in seismic activity due to the injection of wastewater from oil and gas drilling deep underground.
	Ground.
	Oh. Boxcom by Sharp.
	What?
	Foxconn buys Sharp.
	Foxconn buys Sharp.
	His company, Foxconn, has agreed to buy Japan's struggling electronics brand, Sharp, for $3.5 billion.
	It's the first foreign takeover of a major Japanese electronics producer.
	Foxconn also assembles Apple's iPhones.
	No comment?
	Yeah, you gotta keep throwing that thing at me.
	Your money is your money for the $86 million overrun.
	To your money tonight, wasted money, the Justice Department's internal watchdog revealing a stunning new example of government waste.
	In 2008, the Drug Enforcement Administration and Department of Defense set out to modify an aircraft to use in Afghanistan.
	The budget board at the time, $22 million.
	So far, the tally is now $86 million, four times as much.
	And that plane tonight still can't fly.
	I'm sitting on jobs at a hangar in Delaware and will never go to Afghanistan because the program has been discontinued.
	Yay, yay, yay!
	Don't worry, we'll get NATO to fill it up.
	Red 33!
	Police call turkeys.
	What's up, police?
	Sergeant McLaughlin.
	Hey, Sarge, this is the Postmaster in Hillsdale.
	Hey, it's gone.
	Okay.
	You're not going to believe this, but I got a carrier that's being attacked by wild turkeys.
	Won't let them deliver the mail.
	Where?
	On Espanade, Espanade Drive.
	Espanade?
	Yeah, I guess that's it.
	ESPLA.
	Yeah, Espanade Lake Drive.
	Yeah.
	28, okay, being attacked by turkeys.
	This has been going on.
	It's crazy.
	I mean, they're actually attacking, biting.
	They chased the trucks, everything.
	Wow.
	Take a look at it.
	Thank you.
	What is that?
	Do you have more?
	Yeah, one more.
	Enough is enough.
	No kidding.
	Enough is enough!
	Alrighty then.
	Very good.
	A quick note that I don't know if you got that.
	We were talking about, we knighted one of our producers as Sir Upper Decker.
	Right.
	And we both assumed this was about baseball.
	I didn't assume.
	I just said it was about baseball.
	I didn't assume anything.
	Oh, did you know that there's an urban meaning to this Upper Decker?
	No.
	No, but it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't a sex thing.
	A number of people set me straight on this.
	Thursday show United Gentlemen is Sir Upper Decker.
	You and John assumed that he was referring to seating in a stadium.
	However, it is widely known under a different meaning.
	Apparently not to old fogies like you and me, John.
	We are stupid.
	Well, everything can be a sexual thing.
	I mean, I could have also said it was the upper deck of a 747.
	The guy likes to fly business class.
	Why are you saying it's a sexual thing?
	I just threw it out there.
	I didn't know why he's calling himself that.
	Why are you saying it's a sexual thing?
	I didn't say it's a sexual thing.
	I am.
	I'm saying it's a sex thing now.
	No.
	I know what it means.
	You do?
	No.
	I have no idea.
	An upper decker is when you remove the lid off the toilet tank and poop inside the tank and replace the lid.
	Not long after, said poop becomes putrid and very foul.
	A good prank to pull on someone you're not too fond of.
	That's a great prank!
	They flush the toilet.
	This is not funny.
	This is lame.
	Is this an American...
	It's sick.
	Is this what we do in the indispensable nation known as America?
	Is this what we're all about?
	I can say this much.
	The two farts that do this show...
	Don't know about it because we come from a more civilized era.
	Who would have thought of such a crazy idea?
	Well, only in the industry.
	When I was a kid, the concept then was to get a good cube, probably like I say, a square inch cube of metallic sodium and flush it down the toilet.
	We did cherry bombs down the toilet.
	Cherry bombs don't compare to what a cube of sodium metal can do.
	You flush it down the toilet, it gets pretty far down, and it just blows up the entire sewer system, throws crap and everything out of all the toilets, and makes a complete mess.
	That's the kind of thing we used to do.
	Not the same crapping in the upper deck.
	I can't believe someone came up with that.
	How pathetic is that?
	Well, then it caught on!
	And it has a name!
	And we got duped again!
	Again we got duped!
	Coke Brothers!
	They're pooping in our toilet, they're making us promote their movies.
	But yes, ladies and gentlemen, only in the indispensable nation will you see people being upper deckers.
	It gave me an idea for a product.
	Somebody removes the lid of the toilet and an alarm goes off.
	Okay.
	That would stop them.
	Alright.
	Well, that reminds me, as a segue, this isn't going to go no further.
	No.
	So we have the 86th birthday of the famous poet, beat poet.
	It was something of a character.
	Lawrence Ferlinghetti, a very famous beat poet from the 50s and 60s, had his 96th birthday.
	Can you explain a beat poet?
	Instead of clapping, you snap your fingers?
	Well, you go to a coffee shop.
	Somebody would be reading some dry poetry.
	You'd be on the bongos.
	I'd be on the kazoo.
	You'd be on the bongos listening while drinking cappuccino and probably stoned on reefer.
	Black turtleneck.
	Black turtleneck, right.
	Stoned on reefer.
	And listening to the guy read the poems.
	But anyway, Frohlen Geddes owns the City Lights Bookshop, which was opened years and years ago, and it's still in San Francisco.
	He's got some complaints about, you know, the latest thing going on.
	And so here's what he says.
	Today, San Francisco is better known as a central hub of the tech boom, a city of entrepreneurs and companies like Twitter that have become international giants.
	And while that boom is credited with driving unemployment to an all-time low, it's also blamed for rapid gentrification, making the city unaffordable for many.
	And that rankles Ferlinghetti.
	A new brand of dot-com millionaires and generally Silicon Valley money have moved into San Francisco with bags full of cash and no manners.
	The pace of change, Ferlinghetti says, has quickened beyond control.
	Okay, I get it.
	Yeah, he's right.
	Bags full of cash, no manners.
	Bags full of cash, no manners.
	They're all douchebags.
	And so this, you know, he's an old guy from the area, and, you know, it's a birthday, it should show some respect, but in the manner of, oh, get a Mac!
	As commentary.
	And by the way, this is going to be our, probably our ultimate demise will be a similar kind of reaction from the no manners, casual, callous a-holes who have taken over the place.
	You get, this is what you end up with.
	Of course, Ferlinghetti's is not the only view of San Francisco these days.
	When a version of this story was posted online recently, he did draw support, but there were a few strong blasts as well.
	What a crank, wrote one person.
	The city is still as vibrant and creative as it ever was, except now young ambitious people are in tech.
	Another wrote, in 60 years I'll be complaining about the new crop of San Franciscans.
	Fogies gonna fog.
	Oh, it's ageism.
	You're a crank, you're a fogey, and fogey's got a foge.
	Yeah, get the foge out of here.
	Anyway, I just thought that was a little insight into the area.
	Nobody actually knows who this guy is.
	Well, once the money runs out, everyone will be broke and gone.
	Some foots in the news.
	Oh, did we report on the foot from last week?
	I don't remember.
	Is this the Powell River?
	The one that came up in Vancouver?
	Yeah.
	No, we didn't.
	There were a couple.
	I think I forgot to report on it.
	It came last week.
	It was last show.
	Well, if you go to noagendafoots.com, everything has been tracked meticulously.
	We are the only media outlet that tracks the foots in the oceans that are washing up on shore.
	On the west coast, mostly.
	There was one that washed up, and they said it wasn't a human foot.
	It was like the foot of a sea lion.
	Like, what is a sea lion doing wearing a Nike?
	That's crazy.
	Yeah, so anyway, another foot showed up in a tennis shoe.
	The Powell River.
	Powell River, Vancouver.
	And I was pointing out, I think in the email when we went back and forth on this, is that the Canadians, they're documenting the feet that wash up there, but just like less than 10 miles south of them, where the feet are washing up in Washington State on the same basic area, neither one of these two sizes says, hey, wait a minute.
	This total is a little more than we think.
	We've only washed up six feet in the Puget Sound and the Canadians have about eight.
	Foots.
	Foots.
	Yeah.
	So, in Wisconsin, of course, we've got all kinds of groups in there now.
	All kinds of crazies are popping up.
	Because, you know, you can get on TV. I think that's why they're all showing up there.
	And there's an organization called the ISO, which I think is the International Socialist Organization.
	So, there's this interview, I don't think it's a mainstream clip, which makes it even funnier, of this millennial being interviewed.
	And he said, I'm a socialist, and we really need to change things, and if we don't stand up for our rights, nothing's going to change.
	Now, he works at Noodles.
	Noodles, which I don't think is a national chain.
	It sounds to me like it's kind of a small outfit, this noodle.
	Am I wrong about that?
	Do you know of Noodles?
	I don't know.
	It might or might not be.
	I can look it up.
	I've never heard of it.
	It could be a semi-national chain, but it's Noodles.
	Now listen to the attitude this kid throws down on how it should be at Noodles because it ain't going the way he thinks it should be.
	Well, like I described earlier, there are two fundamental classes that are just a plain fact in society.
	You either work for someone else or you work for yourself.
	By the way, kid, that's called America.
	That's how we do it here.
	And the best thing is you try and start your own business.
	We used to be kind of open to doing that.
	Listen to what his gripe is, John.
	Most people work for someone else in a way that they aren't free.
	You don't really get to decide your work.
	For example, I work at Noodles, a restaurant, and basically it's a dictatorship there.
	We're told exactly what we're going to cook, how we're going to cook it, what time we're going to get there.
	And basically, if they don't like what they're doing, they try to tell us what to do.
	If we don't listen, they get rid of us.
	It's called having a job.
	Holy mackerel.
	This is a great clip.
	This is the clip of the day.
	Can you believe this crap?
	It's like, they tell us how to cook, tell us what time to get there, and if you don't, then you get fired.
	The nerve of them.
	That's boring.
	We're not able to actually cooperate in a way that we make decisions together.
	I try to convince my fellow employees that we should have a union at Rudolph's, so it's a source of power to start with.
	Ah, this is what's wrong.
	This is what's wrong.
	That's great.
	Where'd you get that clip?
	There's a whole bunch of you.
	I've got this NoAgendaNewsNetwork.com, which is really rolling pretty well.
	Yeah, great.
	Where did that clip come from?
	From the NoAgendaNewsNetwork.com.
	I mean, where did it originally come from?
	It wasn't the news network that was out interviewing this kid.
	Hold on a second.
	I can find it for you.
	We need more clips like that.
	That was good, wasn't it?
	Oh, yeah.
	I can't believe it, man.
	Like, they gave me some money and then they told me what to do.
	I told them to shove it.
	And they told me how to cook, man.
	That's like not okay, alright?
	I don't know how to cook, but I don't need to be told.
	And noodles.
	So we gotta have like a union of noodles.
	But the whole interview is so incredibly serious, which is kind of the frightening thing about it.
	It's just like, oh my god.
	It's in the show notes.
	I've got to find a note.
	You know, Eddie at the Mevio office is a millennial.
	I really like this kid.
	Every once in a while I talk to him about the fact that he's working and he's always laughing about everything.
	I said, you're the only one in your group that works, right?
	He says, yeah.
	He says, the funny thing is he goes to work.
	He leaves a group of guys, I guess he's living with a bunch of guys, or I don't know what, or hangs out with a bunch of guys.
	And first he gets up at 6 in the morning and surfs.
	Then he comes into work.
	He says, it's the only time he'll ever have to surf.
	And then he goes home.
	He says he gets home, and the guys that he left before he went to work are sitting there not having done a damn thing.
	And who's paying for all that?
	I don't know.
	I guess he is.
	I have no idea.
	Unbelievable.
	Yeah.
	But I mean, how misguided is that?
	I mean...
	I blame the overall loss of manufacturing in this country, which doesn't give kids the opportunity to work in the summertime.
	When I was a kid...
	When I was a kid, I used to work every summer when I went through high school.
	I had a job somewhere.
	I did something.
	And when I was even younger than that, I had two paper routes.
	I didn't have one.
	I had two paper routes.
	I had a regular Oakland Tribune route, and I had a shopper route.
	And then I worked every summer.
	And then during college, I worked every summer, and I had various gimmicks to get better jobs.
	So I'd get paid a lot.
	And then...
	So I've always been working, and one time I was bitching about kids in Port Townsend hanging around in the summertime, and I wrote an op-ed, which was years ago, in the San Francisco Examiner, bitching about these kids not doing anything, and this was like 20 years ago, and I got a whole bunch of letters from kids, do what?
	He says there's nothing to do.
	There's no jobs anywhere.
	He says there's no businesses that want to hire us.
	So what are we supposed to do?
	We just hang around.
	And it's created an entire generation of kids who don't know anything about work.
	They don't know how to take orders.
	So you're saying because we don't really have those jobs anymore...
	It's, uh...
	They don't do them.
	Because I did hard labor.
	I did, um...
	I stacked firewood.
	But, you know, like in big orange bags filled with mahogany, which is like crazy heavy.
	It's something.
	Yeah, or painting like the gas station.
	I'd have to paint the tanks and stuff.
	I mean, you know, it's like...
	Yeah, you got to do stuff.
	There's stuff to do.
	There's nothing to do.
	These kids have nothing.
	There's no opportunities for them.
	I mean, you know, Eddie's job is basically watching videos all day.
	And that's like a job.
	It's nothing like these old jobs used to be.
	We used to have factories all over the place that always needed extra help.
	And I don't think it's just the loss of manufacturing in this country that's the problem.
	the social loss of manufacturing that's the problem.
	It's not that we need to build stuff in this country.
	Yeah, you can get a job at Boeing probably if you were an engineer.
	But the fact of the matter is there's no, we don't socialize our kids to be into working.
	They don't work.
	And thus they don't even have enough experience, work experience to know how to do entrepreneurial stuff well enough because they've never seen a business, how it works and how people are managed.
	Because This kid is a perfect example.
	These people are telling me what to do.
	I don't get it.
	Why were they doing that?
	Yeah, we have to work together to figure out how to make noodles.
	It's disturbing.
	I think the sociology of the loss of manufacturing is more important than the actual loss of manufacturing.
	I think it should have been subsidized, even if we're taking a beating, because these kids, we have an entire generation or two generations of kids that don't know crap about working or being managed or following instructions or anything like that.
	They've been to school, now they're just bums.
	And what are we going to do about this, Dr.
	Dvorak?
	Nothing.
	We're doomed.
	We're doomed, right?
	It's all over.
	I was killed.
	This guy was...
	It was about...
	It's a story about the Glock.
	Oh, right.
	No, I saw it.
	We didn't play those.
	It's a Glock story part two.
	It's a little long.
	Yeah, I don't have it.
	But apparently, the guys who were promoting the Glock gun, which is a plastic gun that everyone was buying left and right, they decided to make...
	Do a big deal at the SHOT Show, which is a huge trade show in Las Vegas.
	So they used to wine and dine all the buyers from all the police departments and everybody at the Atlanta Gold Club.
	And there's a bunch of anecdotes about that.
	So they decided, the guy who's the marketing guy is a genius.
	Apparently much better than I am at marketing our show.
	And the guy decides to get the best looking girl at the Gold Club among the 300 strippers.
	And decide to have her as the spokesperson at the show and to promote the heck out of us all.
	And apparently they packed the booth in because this girl was so gorgeous.
	Of course.
	Well, isn't that exactly what you do?
	They said they had to train her, though, at the Glock facility so she knew how to use the gun, who could take it apart.
	So they put her in there with a bunch of police guys, international agents, and all this other stuff.
	But they didn't have the guts to tell them that these guys were training with a stripper.
	Right.
	So he said everybody just assumed she was with the CIA. Oh, perfect.
	Oh, perfect.
	Actually, I'm scanning to see if we can find that clip.
	That's okay.
	It's too long to play.
	I just played it.
	Yeah, you did.
	All right.
	All right.
	Onward.
	Yes.
	Did you know that in 1897, actually it didn't really start until 1904, I think, that electric cars were all the rage, that the Rausch and Lange electric car, that that was like the big, they were producing, I think, 50 a month or 200 a month, and that everyone was driving electric cars in 1904 until they came out with the combustion engine.
	Yeah, when they came out with the more practical combustion engine.
	You know, you could drive and then put some more gas in it and drive some more.
	But here's the thing.
	What kind of battery?
	Were they using lead acid batteries?
	Yeah, they had to be.
	I mean, that's the thing that hasn't really...
	I mean, is it just me or...
	Can't we come up with a better battery?
	It seems like...
	I wonder about this.
	When I was writing for Forbes, I was doing a lot of energy stories about different technologies, including like the zinc air.
	Is that why you're no longer writing for Forbes?
	No.
	No, this is a long story.
	I got time.
	So I'm writing these stories.
	So I got into the scene quite a bit and I still kind of keep up.
	And I ran into, I was talking to all the guys who do these really weird and exotic batteries will tell you the same thing.
	Battery technology hasn't really changed in any meaningful way.
	I mean, it's changed, it's been tweaked.
	And, you know, the lithium batteries are interesting, but this is all tweaks on old inventions that go back.
	Almost everything is public domain.
	They go back, you know, 100 years.
	No one's come up with a new battery idea.
	Or has it just been suppressed, perhaps?
	No.
	Believe me, no.
	It hasn't been suppressed.
	Some magic battery zero-point energy.
	Yes!
	Yeah, you just get it out of the air.
	The energy's around you, man.
	It's around you.
	It's orgone energy.
	Well, you know, you can stick basically a metal pipe in the earth and power a light bulb.
	Well, it's a small one, but you can power a small light bulb.
	I mean, there is indeed energy all around us.
	That's undeniable.
	That's right.
	Everywhere, man.
	Are you being a dick to me?
	Is that what I'm hearing?
	Come on, you know I believe in this stuff.
	I think it has been suppressed.
	Oh yeah.
	It was Tesla.
	And the water that you can burn.
	Well, they burned all of his research, all of his documents.
	You know that guy had something going on.
	You know he had some ideas that were way good.
	Don't you think?
	Well, I mean, I don't like the idea of burning documents, that's for sure.
	Yeah.
	But these inventions are out there.
	Somebody could come up with a great new battery technology.
	Attention all human resources.
	Now entering second half of show.
	There's the theremin.
	I want one.
	Somebody's got to find me a real theremin.
	I bet you we can get a theremin for you.
	Okay.
	So I told you that we were...
	By the way, can you imagine me having a theremin here?
	It would probably interfere with this computer because of all the crazy RF coming off that thing.
	I love it.
	I wouldn't be able to use it.
	I bet you someone, one of our producers has a theremin somewhere that we can use on the show.
	I betcha.
	Somebody should.
	I hope somebody has a sling box in New York.
	And if anyone can get us in touch with Maradona in Argentina, that would be appreciated.
	Well, by the way, a slingbox in Australia would be awesome.
	Okay, so I love it.
	I love it, I love it, I love it.
	When we get to cross off another thing out of the Red Book.
	And I think that I have, I mean, we've had so many pieces of proof.
	We started off the show with diehard proof that Hillary Clinton's getting a face job.
	Now, something that I've been all over for more than a year, actually been over for much, much longer, and this is the existence of what I will generally call earthquake machinery.
	Now, many people scoff and laugh at me, but of course you can't really do that because I've shown you many times, I've linked to it, I'll link to it again in 475.nashownotes.com, the actual testimony of Secretary of Defense Cohen, who testified that many other nations the actual testimony of Secretary of Defense Cohen, who testified that many other nations were using biological weapons such as earthquake machines and we needed to Do you recall this, John?
	Apparently there's some mention of earthquake machines in a UN document.
	Yes.
	But this is actual testimony in our own United States Congress.
	So we don't even need it in the UN. The UN called for that no one should have these biological weapons.
	And what Secretary of Defense Cohen said was, we probably should have our own just in case.
	So when Fukushima, when the earthquake occurred, and they've had several large earthquakes off the coast of Japan since, and many prior, but this tsunami thing was pretty crazy.
	It knocked out the reactor, which of course has prompted Japan now to stop all nuclear energy.
	Germany said stop all nuclear energy.
	Be very afraid of nuclear energy.
	It's all going to melt down.
	Your fish are radioactive.
	We're all going to die.
	Oh, the cloud is floating over.
	Well, we're not dead yet, and I submit to you that this is a cabal move against nuclear energy, and now, of course, we'll all be told to move to liquid natural gas.
	Do you remember, I guess it was a couple of months after the Fukushima event, That we were getting all these emails from people that say, oh, the thing is going to blow.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	And there's proof positive it's going to blow up.
	No agenda should be on this.
	Hundreds of thousands of people are going to die.
	Die!
	I tell you, die from radiation!
	Now, the problem I had with the earthquake, and I said it the day after it happened.
	I said, this was a planned event.
	It was a very, very, very shallow earthquake.
	Remember, it was like one kilometer, if even that, according to the seismology.
	And I had a problem with it.
	I said, this feels to me like this was set in motion.
	Remember we even tracked some company that had some weird apparatus they set up?
	There's all kinds of things pointing to a man-made event that caused this tsunami.
	And of course, crazy, moon landing guy, global warming denier, Holocaust denier, Republican, racist, whatever you want.
	Listen to this report from New Zealand.
	A secret operation in the 1940s to develop a tsunami bomb in coastal waters on the Fungapurau Peninsula north of Auckland has been uncovered.
	The United States and New Zealand conducted secret tests of the bomb designed to inundate coastal cities, but the operation, codenamed Project SEAL, was shelved just months before the atomic bomb was used on Japan in 1945.
	The secret plans were uncovered during the search by the author and filmmaker, Ray Waru.
	Over a period of several months, they carried out almost 4,000 test explosions to kind of calibrate the size of explosions, the number of explosions, and the depth of an explosion in the water would need to be in order to create a tsunami effect. and the depth of an explosion in the water would Ray Wadow, who uncovered secret tests to develop a tsunami bomb in New Zealand waters.
	So you can call me whatever you want, but there is proof, proof that the United States tested 4,000 tsunami bombs before they dropped an actual atomic bomb on Japan.
	Amen.
	So you think for one second that these a-hole oil cabal elitists, you put it past them that they would blow one of these things off to make nuclear energy seem really scary?
	I question you, Jeb.
	Well, you know, I don't think they have the wherewithal, but I mean, it would be within the, well, they have the money.
	I don't know.
	Maybe when they do those deep drills, those deep holes, they've got the same gear.
	They can put something down in there and blow it up.
	I don't know.
	It seems unlikely.
	I just want to point out...
	Unlikely...
	Earthquakes actually do exist.
	Yeah, but this is a very shallow one.
	Yeah, it was a weird one.
	It was a weird one, but I called it immediately, and here is proof that there were tsunami bombs for Japan.
	Well, maybe they...
	How about this for a concept?
	No, you can't...
	Stop!
	You can't refute it.
	Go ahead.
	What's your concept?
	They were testing these things and they planted a bunch of them and that one didn't go off until then.
	Adios.
	It's like one of those old bombs.
	They got these bombs in London.
	They find them every once in a while.
	We went off accidentally.
	There's one left over.
	Sure.
	Sure.
	But what is very interesting is here in the lowlands, and I believe it's many countries in Europe, but it was very interesting to watch it specifically here.
	They have the big year-end lotteries.
	And this is what everything is centered around, the year-end lottery.
	And now we have the state lottery.
	And they both may have involvement with government.
	The state lottery obviously does.
	But they really pay for most of the entertainment on television.
	And they have these really big bombastic shows.
	And it's so interesting, you could even buy a fifth of a ticket.
	So a full ticket is 30 euros, and you can buy a half a ticket, a quarter of a ticket, or a fifth of a ticket.
	And then, of course, you would share with the other co-owners of the ticket.
	But the lottery I wanted to discuss with you briefly, and have a really, really big event on New Year's Day, is the Postcode Lottery.
	Which would translate to the zip code lottery.
	John, I have no idea why this is not going on in America.
	This is a Curry Dvorak.
	It has us written all over it.
	We need to start this lottery.
	And let me explain how it works.
	You play via automatic bank payment, so every single month.
	I love this part already.
	Every single month, and you can choose one lottery ticket, two, I think as many as you want, essentially.
	And the drawing is done on zip code.
	So, what happens is, so let's say I'm here in zip code 1017DM, and that's an entire street.
	And so they pull the zip code, and then the Celebrettis, who are part of these big television shows, it goes on for days, the whole wind-up for this thing.
	They didn't come to your home with these huge envelopes, And they say, oh, you know, you're in the zip code, so that means you win.
	How many tickets do you have?
	That determines the prize amount.
	And also, how many, which is kind of like awesome dude points for the length of time you've been playing.
	And then you get a large cash prize.
	And the entire prize is divided up differently.
	in the neighborhood so they divide essentially twenty million euros into the amount of winners in the street whose zip code was chosen now here's what I love about this because invariably you see on television you see these poor people who like win a million euros or two million euros or even you know four hundred thousand euros and then you look at the other people in the street who have their curtains drawn because they didn't play They didn't
	have any tickets.
	Peer pressure.
	The peer pressure is outstanding.
	It's outstanding.
	Can we go visit this person who is a loser who didn't play?
	You can just see people already committing suicide.
	Can you imagine being in the street where the big prize fell and then you didn't buy any tickets?
	Worse, you didn't have any super awesome bonus points, so you got a lousy $200,000 where your neighbor got $2 million.
	Even then, you'll feel like a loser even though you really won.
	It is the...
	It's the most unbelievable peer pressure Gitmo Nation thing I've ever seen.
	And the way these celebrities go around to all these people's homes and they have the big checks, they pull out of the envelopes.
	And it's sad, literally.
	So the whole New Year's consists of slaves who have won money and now they're heroes.
	It's great.
	They're heroes for letting this lottery take money from their bank account every month for God knows how long.
	But because they were smart enough to play, they're national heroes.
	And we have Holland's new millionaires.
	Let's see how the new millionaires are doing.
	John, why is this not being done in the United States?
	This peer pressure is a great system.
	I'm sure it's being considered.
	We need to be in on it, because the amount of entertainment shows that are put together, that are sponsored by this zip code lottery, I don't know how it's possible to be in on it, because in this country, illegal lotteries are what they are, which is illegal.
	But why should it be illegal?
	It can be a legal lottery.
	We have Powerball, don't we?
	That's a legal lottery based on legislation.
	Right.
	That's what I'm saying.
	We need a new lottery based on legislation that works.
	Think about it.
	This could save the postal system.
	The postal system doesn't need saving.
	Just play with me now.
	I'm glad you like this sort of scam.
	I love it.
	It's awesome.
	I just sit there just watching.
	So, John, some very important information reached me.
	And this is a throwback to clips we've been playing throughout the past couple weeks.
	And a question I had, it was an Ask John question.
	He didn't have an answer for me, but we do have an answer now, and I appreciate the multiple questions.
	No agenda producers who went out and did the research, consulted the book of knowledge.
	So one more time, we will play the clip of Lucifer Hillary Clinton and the picture that rocked the world with her hand in front of her mouth in the Situation Room and the key information in this clip.
	This, by the way, is the hottie from France who was asking the question one more time.
	About Osama Ben Laden, can I show you this picture?
	You know it.
	It's in the situation room.
	Yes, I remember.
	I saw that picture.
	I didn't know it was being taken at the time, but I saw it later.
	So you are holding your hand in front of your mouth.
	Yes, yes.
	What did you think at that moment?
	Were you frightened?
	What did you see?
	I don't know how to describe it other than it was a very intense period.
	The operation went on for 38 minutes.
	Okay, that's the key bit there, and of course, what did I say on this very program on Thursday?
	I said, one of these days we're going to figure out why this 38 minutes is so important.
	She says it in every single interview, 38 minutes, 38 minutes.
	Well, John, I have the answer.
	Yes, go.
	According to the Book of Knowledge, Wikipedia, The Stargate will remain open so long as matter or energy continues to pass through it to a maximum of 38 minutes.
	Beyond this point, massive amounts of power are needed to sustain a wormhole which ordinary sources cannot provide.
	Where did you get this?
	From the Book of Knowledge, from Wikipedia.
	Look up Stargate.
	Yes, sir.
	Is that what you look at?
	No, you look at Stargate.
	Go look at Stargate.
	So wait a minute, you're implying, hold on a second, hold on a second.
	I'm not implying the book of knowledge tells all truths.
	No, no, you're implying that they weren't really even looking at the Bin Laden thing.
	No, they were, no, they were.
	They were watching the Stargate open up.
	Yes, or maybe the Stargate was there at Bin Laden, but they were really worried because the Stargate was going to close and they had to get anything that was going in or out to the wormhole.
	They had to get it done within those 38 minutes.
	That's why it was the most intense 38 minutes ever.
	So you're now making the assumption that the movie Stargate is actually a documentary.
	I'm not making no assumption.
	All I'm doing is consulting the Book of Knowledge and taking it verbatim for the truth that everyone else takes it for.
	John, one thing I know.
	Coincidence?
	I think not!
	There are no coincidences like that, my friend.
	It might have been the Stargate in Libya.
	It could have been the Stargate in the Gulf of Aden.
	We're not quite sure.
	One thing we do know, she was worried that the Stargate was going to close before whatever had to go through it came through it.
	And that's why it was the most intense 38 minutes of her life.
	Apparently, Drusilla, the sister of Caligula, only lived to be 38.
	No, I'm not...
	No, no, no.
	This is not how it works.
	It's a book of knowledge, my friend.
	And here's another thing that's going on, which I still have.
	You're in Texas, so you must have picked up on this, because it's got to be all over the news in Texas.
	I think it's a hoax that got out of control, and I tweeted that it was, which is this idea that there's some lame football team in high school that lost to one of the championship teams, because Texas has got a lot of really great high school football teams.
	91-0, and supposedly some parents sued...
	No, no, no, no, no.
	That's not true.
	Do you have a clip where someone says sued?
	No.
	No, I'm telling you, this is the meme.
	They say it all over here.
	I didn't think I needed a clip.
	That's all they talked about on all the talk shows.
	And there's no way.
	This is a bullshit story.
	I have the story here.
	Running the ball into the end zone, Alito's Cats Friday made one touchdown after another, winning their game 91 to nothing.
	That's a cremation, is what that is.
	I wish at some point they could just say, okay, game over, why even finish it?
	A parent for the opposing team, Fort Worth's Western Hills, considered it more than just a painful loss.
	Alito ISD says he filed an official complaint online against its entire coaching staff for bullying.
	That's what really happened.
	So that got out of control from some guy just bitching online?
	Yeah, he went on the school website.
	Remember we had those forms?
	And he filled out the form and said the entire coaching staff bullied.
	I'm glad you're in Texas because we could not...
	Doug and Doug and Doug, I knew this was a bullcrap story.
	And you know what this is?
	This is just to make Texans look stupid.
	Well, I think it has two purposes.
	I think it definitely makes Texans look stupid.
	But that's a common thing.
	That goes on.
	You get used to it.
	I know people in Texas that say when any news thing happens in Texas, the news media comes and finds the dumbest, toothless guy they can find and asks for his opinion.
	She told me that that's all she's ever seen on the news.
	She's been a lifelong Texas person.
	True.
	And, well, anyway, so that, I knew this was good.
	I'm glad that you got to the bottom of it, because I was concerned.
	But the other reason for it is so all the right-wing talk shows can get all worked up about, oh, bullying is like, you know, this has gotten out of control, you know, this is terrible.
	About time.
	Yeah, moaned and groaned.
	Well, let me throw a shorty at you.
	Do you want to do a blitz?
	I only have three.
	I got three.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	Blitz 33!
	Blitz!
	Blitz!
	High School USA. Our favorite show every Sunday.
	We play a clip.
	What's up with the...
	Bare feet?
	Yeah.
	Teachers can be cool guys too, Marsh.
	No.
	Your gun.
	Oh!
	That's right!
	The gun!
	Exciting, right?
	Well, a few of us teachers have been a little spooked by some of you students lately.
	I'm looking at you, weirdo.
	So every teacher's gonna be carrying a gun from now on.
	And it ensures school's safety.
	I couldn't be more excited.
	Neat.
	But what if a teacher loses his or her temper?
	Way ahead of ya, buddy.
	Now obviously we can't leave all you students completely defenseless like sitting ducks.
	So?
	We've decided we're arming all of you two!
	With guns!
	This is so cool.
	I know, right?
	Guns are the coolest.
	Whoa!
	Alright!
	You heard it here first, gang.
	The beholders of cool have spoken.
	Alright!
	When I call your name, come on up and pick out your very own gun!
	I can't put my finger on it, but something doesn't seem too cool about this, Brad.
	I know.
	Well, this is great.
	I get to participate in the clip blitz.
	By the way, was this the new Common Core that I heard here?
	It's another No Agenda.
	The American Medical Association held on to its long-standing position that marijuana is a dangerous drug and a public health concern.
	But doctors also recognized that federal efforts to stop the use of pot have been ineffective.
	It called on the feds and the states to come up with public health strategies to cut the use of cannabis, saying programs are a better alternative to helping people quit when compared to giving them jail time.
	Former Congressman Patrick Kennedy, son of the late Senator Ted Kennedy, has now dedicated his life to fighting the legalization of pot.
	He praised today's decision from the AMA, saying it's time people listened to the medical community, something he was preaching when he visited Seattle in July to rail against legalization.
	Rail!
	The message that there is no risk, no harm to using marijuana.
	When all the medical evidence and literature, all the scientific research proves otherwise.
	That's right.
	Oh, crap.
	Marijuana gonna kill you!
	It's dangerous.
	Dangerous.
	Dangerous.
	I'd rather give drugs out to people instead of, you know, do you want to sell more drugs?
	In fact, this report is a part of, obviously, a public relations campaign to get more people on drugs.
	ADHD report.
	Oh, crap.
	I slipped.
	I knew you were going for it, and I slipped.
	I'm sorry.
	Ah!
	I'm slipping.
	I slipped twice.
	The blitz.
	We're getting blocked.
	We're getting blitz.
	It's another agenda.
	Hello!
	The number of children with ADHD is rising, according to new numbers from the CDC. More than 1 in 10 children are now diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
	ADHD cases have been on the increase now for at least 15 years.
	Experts think that's because more doctors are looking for ADHD and more parents know about it.
	Well, many consider them the good guys in the snack machine.
	A new major study says what you've heard about...
	What?
	Oh, you're playing the next one right.
	Oh, it's all in one thing.
	Oh, no.
	I should have split it off because I did have a little segue, and the next one should be Nuts are Good, which is what you were just about to play.
	That's obviously a public relations move, but I realized that there's some public relations thing going on now because they did it with kale with great success.
	Yes.
	I still need more recipes, people.
	But now they're apparently doing it for nuts.
	Yes.
	Many consider them the good guys in the snack machine.
	A new major study says what you've heard about nuts is true.
	They are good for you.
	The study followed thousands of people for three decades.
	It found that those who ate seven or more servings of nuts a week were 20% less likely to die from cancer and heart disease.
	Less likely to die.
	Eat nuts.
	Honey, I hear eating my nuts is really going to keep you alive.
	But don't worry, because we can always make you a pre-vivor and get you some new boobies.
	And it's almost like the Lord is messing with me.
	Because then NPR has some deal with TED, which I think ruins both brands, quite honestly.
	TED.NPR.org.
	Really?
	TED.NPR.org?
	This is news to me.
	Oh, yeah.
	They have this whole show, a whole TED show, where they're playing little snippets, including Dr.
	Terry Walls.
	I start with greens because they're...
	Greens.
	By the way, can we stop?
	This is almost as bad as veggies.
	Greens.
	Do you find greens to universally mean the same thing?
	I hate veggies.
	I like vegetables, but I hate the term veggies.
	It's creepy.
	Yeah, but greens?
	That's okay.
	Greens.
	They got some greens.
	It sounds like a pill.
	Hey, you got some greens?
	Yeah, I got some greens.
	I got some blues.
	I got some reds.
	I got some crosstops.
	I start...
	Start with greens because they are rich in B vitamins, vitamins A, C, K, and minerals.
	And those are two types of kale.
	Kale has the most nutrition per calorie.
	The most nutrition per calorie, John.
	That's got to be...
	What does that even mean?
	I don't know.
	Of any plant.
	Of any plant.
	I find that hard to believe, by the way.
	So do I, but it's on TED. It's an NGO. It's a brassica.
	It's a cabbage.
	It's a form of cabbage.
	By the way, TED is kind of...
	They have NGO status as well, somehow.
	You know what I mean?
	I'm not quite sure how they did it, because they're very commercial, but they have some kind of...
	That's why, Ted, NPR, it's beautiful.
	There are two types of kale.
	Kale has the most nutrition per calorie of any plant.
	The B vitamins will protect your brain cells and your mitochondria.
	Vitamins A and C support your immune cells.
	Vitamin K keeps your blood vessels and bones healthy.
	And minerals are cofactors for hundreds of different enzymes in your body.
	Why is she shouting?
	Well, because she's programming you.
	No.
	Have more kale.
	Now, when I heard that, not eat more kale, but have more kale.
	I felt it was time for this.
	So, have more kale.
	I think that's working well.
	So you went to the couples thing.
	And then you came back early.
	And I made this.
	And you felt the obligation to produce a clip.
	I thought it worked.
	I like this.
	It's okay.
	It's not bad.
	You guys are amazing.
	Exactly.
	This is a propagating the BS. You know that there's a TV show called Bones.
	Yeah, I never watch.
	And it's about an Asperger's genius that is good at doing deconstructing.
	He's an a-hole.
	He's an a-hole.
	Who?
	The Bones.
	Isn't The Bones an a-hole?
	Or am I thinking of something else?
	I'm thinking of a different show.
	I don't know what you're thinking.
	I don't know what I'm talking about.
	Anyway, no, this is really a good story.
	It's very well constructed.
	But to bring, to do the, you know, the old, oh, let's see if we can take a picture, take a look outside the lens.
	See if you can boost the image.
	Enhance, enhance.
	Enhance.
	Or my favorite one, we had a couple years ago.
	We got an image of a guy in a window off of a shiny bolt from a type or something.
	Enhance.
	Zoom in.
	Rotate.
	Yeah.
	See if you can get something out.
	Anyway, there's all that crap.
	This one here was like the eye roller.
	I have not heard anything this bad probably for two or three years.
	I was able to restore part of the text from the paper scraps that you sent me.
	One contains a fraction, one third, and the letters A-R-G-A-R. It comes from the word margarine, and the one third is a one third of a cup.
	The papers were from a cookbook.
	Eight different pages.
	Is there any way to tell which cookbook?
	Yeah, I ran the typeface through the Library of Congress database, and I got the name and the date of publication and a lot of tips on how to cook for prisoners.
	It's the Gordon Institutional Recipe Index, 1993 edition.
	I ran the typeface.
	It's Zingbats.
	It's Diff Whips.
	I ran the typeface through the Library of Congress database.
	This database, by the way, does not exist, obviously, because there was no such...
	What do you mean she ran the typeface and she got the dated publication?
	Give me a break!
	What kind of idiots do they think the public are?
	Say it again.
	Do the line.
	What kind of idiots do they think the public are?
	No, not that one.
	I mean, what she did.
	She ran the typeface through the Library of Congress database.
	Perfect.
	Nailed it.
	What a crock.
	Butter.
	It was margarine.
	I knew that word was margarine.
	I ran it through the typeface database.
	Perfect.
	I got more PR stuff.
	Keep going.
	Remember Bill Edelman, Will, Bill, William?
	He's one of our producers who called in to the Shannon Burke show and tried to promote us and he stumbled all over his scripts and stuff?
	Yes, we need better actors.
	Well, he's back.
	He's back and he says, look, I got my script and I'm really trying it.
	But it's listening to this guy...
	This radio host shows you exactly what's wrong with mainstream programming.
	Like Scott Legend, Dangerous Conversation.
	I do listen to Scott Legend, Dangerous Conversation.
	I also think you need to listen to the No Agenda podcast with Adam Curry and John C. DeVore.
	Listen to the guy go, ugh.
	This guy groaned.
	It gets worse.
	Who is this guy?
	Shannon Burke in the morning, everybody.
	They want C-SPAN for you.
	They'll analyze the news stories.
	Oh, you're right.
	Yeah, that's a good idea.
	I should spend some of my time talking about fucking C-SPAN. Hey!
	No, you listen to the show.
	Yeah, dude.
	No, I'm not talking about it.
	God damn.
	I am the media, Bill!
	I'm scamming you right now!
	No, no, you're not.
	You're a very smart man, and that's why I'm telling you this, because I think if you really listen to the lead and listen to the No Agenda podcast, that you start seeing these patterns that they talk about.
	Bill, whether or not you know it, I'm a very, very well, highly educated man, highly degreed, and very, very...
	Douchebag!
	Bullshit!
	Good job, Bill.
	I like it when they irritate other hosts.
	That's good.
	Oh, that's better.
	Howard Stern made a living out of that.
	But I can't believe the guy keeps him on.
	You know, this is really good.
	He just keeps on irking him.
	He listens to C-SPAN. So he's obviously heard the show.
	Of course.
	He thinks we listen to C-SPAN too much and get the scoop.
	Yeah, what an idiot.
	But he's a highly educated man.
	He doesn't need anything like this.
	Okay, well.
	So, I got a variety of weird clips.
	Okay.
	And one of them, there's no follow-up on this clip.
	It's just something that I found interesting.
	Some years ago, my wife actually pointed this out to me, and I kind of developed, I actually wrote an article about it, about there's certain women in Berkeley that she always refers to as Hummers.
	As what?
	Yes.
	Not hummers, because they always hum when they speak, and they never stop talking.
	There's always noise coming from them.
	It goes like this.
	I'll be a hummer for a second.
	Well, Adam, I've been around...
	Oh, I know what that is.
	I know what that is.
	That's women who don't want to be interrupted.
	So they keep emanating a sound.
	So I found that the new editor of the New York Times is a hummer.
	Is a slow-speaking hummer.
	And I would just slap my head and say, oh my god, this woman's got to be the worst in a meeting.
	And she runs meetings all day.
	Just play the clip.
	Chief, among many other things.
	She joined the Times from the Wall Street Journal in 1997.
	Jill Abramson, congratulations and welcome.
	Thank you so much, Jim.
	First, just on the personal level, what does it mean to you to become the executive editor of the New York Times?
	It means the world to me.
	This is great!
	Oh my God!
	No, wait, wait.
	Here's what's funny about it.
	When she finishes this little chit-chat here, he freaks because he's got her obviously on a whole block.
	She's blocked for like the E block or something, right?
	Right, right, right.
	So he's listening to her going like this and he's going, oh my God, I'm going to get nothing from her and I've got her scheduled for 10 minutes.
	She's a Berkeley hummer.
	You can hear him panic after she goes through this little humming number right here.
	Here in Manhattan and the New York Times was worshipped in my family.
	Wait a minute.
	This is unbelievable.
	I've never heard this in my life, John.
	It's like she's on Skype.
	You know what I mean?
	When Skype draws out like that.
	Oh, Micah, can you imagine living with this woman?
	The time said was true was the truth, and so I became an avid reader of the paper as a young school kid, and it seemed scarcely believable to me that I will hold the top editorial position in the newsroom.
	Did you ever find yourself longing to be the boss or dreaming about it?
	He's already freaking here.
	He's like, what am I going to do with her?
	It wasn't Chad's question.
	It's hilarious.
	We need her to do a jingle for me.
	Chemtrails.
	I mean, is this a fulfillment of something that you saw coming sometime?
	You didn't know when, but maybe.
	That's a great description, Jim.
	I hoped that it would come, but felt like definitely it was a maybe.
	I knew because I worked so closely with Bill as his managing editor.
	I got to see his job up close and how much fulfillment he got from it.
	And we both working together got such a kick out of running the news report that, sure, on certain days I would think, boy, it would be nice to have that job.
	But being managing editor for news was a very sweet job itself.
	How significant.
	I'm coming.
	This went on, by the way, and on.
	And I didn't clip the whole thing.
	That's fantastic.
	A Berkeley Hummer.
	This is your New York Times editor-in-chief that she is the one with this, I'm going to do a story.
	Hello, everybody.
	Hello, everybody.
	So you can thank, you know, when you read, you know, you just, I just want, I think, I don't know, she's probably a nice enough person for a Hummer.
	And, uh, but she is like, she's the one that's, you know, that's calling the shots for all the, essentially setting the agenda.
	This woman is setting the agenda for national news.
	Yeah, I like it.
	Ken Fails.
	She's perfect for that.
	On the topic of chemtrails, I am the...
	Thank you, Jim.
	I am the...
	It's like a Buddhist monk.
	Exactly.
	She's like probably as Buddhist.
	It must be.
	I'm...
	Hello, I'm...
	She's doing the Gregorian chant.
	I am running the New York Times.
	I love it.
	Good call.
	Clip of the day already.
	Yeah.
	I give that one to you right there off the top.
	Yeah, there goes my book review.
	Yeah.
	Hey, you know, I went to...
	Hey, you better take your man, slave!
	Dave, you got to take him.
	Because if you don't take your meds, Anderson Pooper will show you what it's like to live with voices in your head.
	So we're going to put these earphones in, and they're going to try to do a series of tests.
	Okay, so I'm now hearing sort of whispers and voices in my head, and the first test is on some number puzzles.
	Listen!
	You suck, and they know it.
	This is a whole piece of Anderson Cooper.
	What is this?
	Anderson Cooper is going to show what it's like to live with psychosis.
	And he puts headphones on.
	This is a scientific test.
	They're talking to him.
	Yeah, they're saying that he sucks, and apparently that's what his voice is saying.
	You suck.
	And then he's asked to do some tasks, like walk around on the street and do puzzles and fold paper.
	While he's got...
	And so we get a mix.
	How do people walk around listening to music on their iPads or iPod?
	Funny you say that.
	He brings this up.
	That's right.
	Okay.
	So I did this test for three minutes and I did not get a single one.
	It's very hard to...
	It's hard to concentrate when...
	If it's like music or something...
	He wears an IFV for God's sake!
	Just listen to it.
	It's very hard to, uh, it's hard to concentrate when, if it's like music or something constant, it's easy, but people talking to you is very difficult.
	Shut up!
	Listen, IFB! For people who know what IFB is, that is the little earpiece where the producer is literally talking to him while he is talking and counting them down into commercials.
	It's a skill.
	Handing questions, all kinds of stuff happens.
	And he's actually very good at this.
	Tom Brokaw is another guy.
	He is lying to the public when he says this is distracting him.
	He is trained not to be distracted by this sort of thing.
	And he's saying that he's getting nothing right.
	But also, I like what they've made up.
	The voice in your head is apparently saying, you suck.
	You're no good.
	Kill all humans.
	Kill all humans.
	Shut up!
	I want to talk back to the voices now, but it's really distracting.
	And by the way, shut up is a common thing that the producers yell in your ear.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Shut up now!
	Do not touch that stuff.
	This is a brilliant piece.
	I could not make it a...
	Well, it's in the show notes, the link to the video.
	What are you looking at?
	This is edited, believe me.
	This is easy.
	You want to touch that?
	I can't do this.
	But it's just, it's really hard to, it's hard to focus when kind of people are whispering to you and talking to you.
	He turns an IFB! But now he's on the street.
	And there's a whispering.
	Just come clear.
	With echo.
	Come here to me.
	Come here for help.
	Come here, Anderson.
	Kill Brolf.
	Kill Brolf.
	Hey, do you have yesterday's paper?
	He asked for yesterday's paper to prove that he is now insane from the voices.
	Ask for yesterday's paper.
	Yesterday's New York Times?
	No?
	Okay.
	I'll just get today's.
	I love the first time to meet you.
	It's incredibly distracting on the street to have somebody talk in your head, and it makes you feel completely isolated from everyone else around you.
	You don't want to engage in conversation with other people.
	You kind of find yourself wanting to engage in conversation with a voice in your head, because they're constantly really negative.
	How about audiobooks?
	People must go on shooting rampages when they listen to Audible.
	That shit should be outlawed.
	Talking to you and everything they're saying relates to things that you're actually doing.
	They're criticizing things you're doing.
	It's like you have a chorus watching you.
	Your mother hates you, Anderson.
	Commenting on what you're doing and you can't help it.
	I literally find myself wanting to kind of respond to them.
	You'll always be second rate, Anderson.
	Wolf makes more money than you.
	We kind of tell them to be quiet, and it's incredibly unpleasant.
	This is a very, very unpleasant experiment.
	I was down.
	Back up.
	Stand up now.
	This is crazy.
	And why does it have to be this kind of Long Island woman, you know?
	And stand up.
	Back up.
	Do this now!
	I'll cut you off.
	I'll cut you off.
	20, 30, 40.
	Stand up now.
	Walk away.
	You're okay.
	Walk now.
	It's okay, Anderson.
	It's okay, Anderson.
	And that just went on for hours and hours.
	I only clipped two minutes of it.
	Like five minutes of him walking around trying to fold paper.
	Anyway, this is the same messaging.
	We're going to have to be stuck with this.
	Yeah, I'm afraid so.
	You know, there was something you mentioned in there.
	And here is a new sleeping drug.
	Which I'm dying to try out.
	Intermezzo.
	And I think it has some highly desirable side effects.
	Intermezzo?
	Like the singing?
	Yeah, intermezzo.
	Going to sleep may be easy, but when you wake up in the middle of the night, it can be frustrating.
	It's hard to turn off and go back to sleep.
	Intermedso is the first and only prescription sleep aid approved for use as needed in the middle of the night when you can't get back to sleep.
	It's an effective sleep medicine you don't take before bedtime.
	Take it in bed only when you need it and have at least four hours left for sleep.
	Do not take intermezzo if you have had an allergic reaction to drugs containing Zolpidem, such as Ambien.
	Allergic reactions such as shortness of breath or swelling of your tongue or throat may occur and may be fatal.
	You missed!
	Don't talk over it!
	Don't talk over it!
	You're missing the best part!
	...of your tongue or throat may occur and may be fatal.
	Okay, you understand?
	Yeah.
	Intermezzo should not be taken if you have taken another sleep medicine at bedtime or in the middle of the night or drank alcohol that day.
	Do not drive or operate machinery until at least four hours after taking Intermezzo when you're fully awake.
	Driving, eating, or engaging in other activities while not fully awake without remembering the event the next day have been reported.
	Abnormal behaviors may include aggressiveness, agitation, hallucinations or confusion.
	Alcohol or taking other medicines that make you sleepy may increase these risks.
	In depressed patients, worsening of depression, including risk of suicide, may occur.
	Intermezzo, like most sleep medicines, has some risk of dependency.
	Common side effects are headache, nausea and fatigue.
	So if you suffer from middle of the night insomnia, ask your doctor about intermezzo and return to sleep again.
	I love that your tongue may swell up and you might die.
	And you may not know that you were eating or walking around.
	So this is essentially a pill that works for four hours.
	And it's intermezzo, it's called that, because we're in the middle of the night.
	So you wake up at four in the morning, and you go, oh my god, it's four in the morning.
	Why am I awake?
	And I'm wide awake.
	Let me go take a pill.
	Instead of saying, wow, I'm up at four in the morning.
	I could do some work here.
	I could be productive.
	Exactly.
	I could be productive.
	Let me do something.
	Yeah.
	By the way, Bong Hits and Bourbon also works.
	I'm reliably informed.
	And I think that you should try that first.
	The best podcast in the universe in no way endorses Intermezzo as an actual aid to be used for sleeping.
	No, take some warm milk will put you out.
	Or read a boring book.
	When I wake up in the middle of the night, I get up and I do something for an hour or two.
	And then I'm tired again.
	I'll go back to bed.
	Everyone should do that.
	You do that or you don't do that anymore?
	No, I do that.
	That's a logical thing to do.
	If you wake up and you're awake.
	In other words, you can't go back.
	You should fall asleep within seven minutes.
	So if you get up and you say, well, maybe you should go back to sleep and then you're still awake.
	It doesn't happen that often, but it does.
	You get up and do something.
	Yeah, do something productive.
	Yeah, write an essay.
	I've done that.
	You know, it's just funny.
	I'm sure you've got something planned.
	In fact, something planned is kind of interesting because it leads into, if you're kind of finished with that thought, I have the something planned...
	There's a couple of clips I found in the library that I want to play.
	And there's two of them.
	There's one called Mass Destruction, if you play that.
	Okay, and where's this from?
	Do you need to set it up?
	We go right into it.
	Well, the second one I'm going to set up, but this one here, this was after, remember the Christmas bomber?
	There was a whole bunch of Senate hearings and all the rest of it right after, during the month of January of this year, which is almost a year ago now.
	This is the kind of news story that was playing.
	Mass destruction is one of them.
	Thank you for being here.
	Great to be here.
	Let's start with your assessment actually 14 months ago.
	Is there any doubt in your mind, and I'll begin with you Senator Graham, but either of you, that the threat remains as you assessed it then, that within the next four years it is likely, or more likely than not, that some terrorists somewhere in the world will use a weapon of mass destruction?
	If anything, the odds that we gave a year ago, which was more likely than not, have probably gone up in the past 14 months.
	That is, it is higher than just a straight, slightly more than 50-50.
	I love all the numbers.
	I love 14 months, the odds, 50-50.
	Isn't that great?
	Yeah, and by the way, and we have to remember that they've redefined now weapons of mass destruction to include just about anything short of a cherry bomb.
	I think it includes my ass.
	I mean, I think that includes...
	No, I mean, they had this guy in Oregon, this crazy thing that happened in Oregon.
	It's weapons of mass destruction.
	Sawdust.
	I mean, everything's a weapon of mass destruction.
	If something could blow up a cat, it's a weapon of mass destruction.
	That someplace on Earth, a terrorist group would use a weapon of mass destruction.
	Dude, I can predict that.
	Hey, something's going to happen.
	All right, okay, stop the clip.
	Stop the clip.
	So let's go, let's take it to another level then, to the second, which is the homeland attack clip.
	And this one, I do need to set up, this was done at the Senate.
	These are our leaders in January, over the end of January, very first part of February, almost a year ago.
	These are our leaders predicting the future.
	Not with a bunch of vagaries, but these are like the head of the CIA, Panetta, the head of the military intelligence, the head of the joint chiefs, and that intelligence go-between guy.
	The whole group is being grilled by Dianne Feinstein, and they are telling us exactly, definitively, these are our leaders telling us what's going to happen and when it's going to happen.
	Play it.
	Intelligence to the head of the CIA, they were all in agreement.
	Listen.
	What is the likelihood of another terrorist attempted attack on the U.S. homeland in the next three to six months?
	High or low?
	Director Blair?
	An attempted attack, the priority is certain, I would say.
	Mr.
	Panetta?
	I would agree with that.
	Mr.
	Mueller?
	Agree.
	General Burgess?
	Yes, ma'am.
	Agree.
	Mr.
	Dinger?
	Yes.
	Why do we have all these guys?
	They're just all pointing to the one guy.
	I agree with him.
	Hey, what he said.
	By the way, great leaders of our country.
	Hinterland.
	What happened?
	Yeah, well, we had the toner attack.
	Ah, stop.
	No, that didn't count.
	It was certain that within six months, three to six actually, it would definitely, we'd have a horrible attack on the country.
	The homeland.
	It was totally certain.
	Where is it?
	It was three months ago.
	It should have happened.
	Hey, we're disappointed.
	I'm just wondering who these guys...
	Why are we paying these people?
	I love it when you get pissed off.
	That's kind of funny.
	No, seriously.
	They're getting hundreds of thousands of dollars to give us bad information?
	Why are we paying them?
	To give us bad information!
	Don't you understand?
	Yeah, that's our leadership.
	You know what was kind of funny?
	It's certain.
	I agree with him.
	Yes.
	What he said.
	But I love now how they're bringing the Cosby thing in now.
	This is going to be very interesting.
	What is that?
	How does that fit into it?
	I think everyone's just going to blow our heads up.
	Your brain just implodes.
	Well, no, I think it's because Cosby is essentially portrayed as a white, privileged black.
	Yeah, good point.
	It just accentuates it because he was...
	You might as well get him out of the way.
	Not that he may have done.
	We've talked about this.
	Mimi and I talked about this.
	It was her thesis about, you know, if you're a comic, you get laid no matter what.
	So what's the deal?
	And so it came to mind.
	It sounds a little gruesome.
	I'm going to go a little bit to some people, some listeners.
	This may be a little off-color.
	First, let's play this clip.
	Cosby's latest story.
	Comedian Bill Cosby is facing his first lawsuit resulting from the new wave of allegations over the drugging, rape, rape, rape, and sexual assault of more than 20 women.
	Plaintiff Judy Huth is suing Cosby for allegedly molesting her 40 years ago when she was 15 years old.
	The suit claims Cosby forced her to perform a sex act on him without her consent.
	Her complaint says the incident has caused, quote, psychological damage and mental anguish in the decades since.
	It comes one day after Cosby resigned from the board of trustees of Temple University amidst mounting claims from women who have come forward to accuse him of being a sexual predator.
	And I'm going to have to, before we go off-color, so to speak, It feels to me like this has been planted at this very moment to get this going for the reasons you just said, because Cosby is seen as a white privileged guy.
	Alright, over to you.
	Yeah, sometimes we maybe go overboard with our analysis, but I think that's potentially the case.
	Well, let's back up.
	And the latest woman, and I don't know if it's this one, but the one she was on MSNBC or one of these shows, and she was yakking away about the same thing, a forced oral sex, I guess.
	But then they asked her the question, were you drugged?
	And yes, apparently the main thing that was going on, a lot of this oral sex and all this other stuff, which seems to be ancillary, and they just throw it in there.
	I'm not even sure any of that is actually true.
	But the drugging seems to be a consistent pattern.
	I woke up in the morning.
	I woke up.
	He was taking my panties down, putting him up.
	We don't know.
	Whatever the case was, you don't wake up.
	These women were bitching the next day about...
	There are a group of people in the world that are necrophiliacs.
	And there was a book...
	Of all the things...
	Alright, I'm with you.
	Yes, Jimmy Savile, hit me with it.
	Now, there's a lot of people out there that are, well, Jimmy Savile, I don't know if he's a necrophiliac, but there's a lot of, in fact, there was a discussion.
	Yes, that was one of the main topics that he went to.
	Nobody talks about this.
	You can look it up and deal with it in your own time.
	But whatever the case is, nobody likes to talk about this.
	There was a very famous guy who was indicted for killing, almost killing his wife with an overdose of something or other, insulin, I believe.
	And there was a biography written.
	This is where this comes from, where I got this concept.
	And Mimi agrees with me.
	And the concept comes from this.
	There was a book that was in New York City, about to be published.
	It went through the lawyers.
	And in the book, they accused the guy who kept knocking his wife for a loop and then, I guess, having sex with her, of being a necrophiliac because he was part of a sex club.
	And there were plenty of sex clubs, especially in the 70s and 80s in New York before AIDS came along, which ended all these sex clubs.
	There was a number of open sex clubs.
	And there was a necrophiliac club or maybe more than one.
	I remember you talked about this.
	Yeah, what was it guy who ran it was Tennessee Williams the playwright?
	It's all in this book I'm writing this down.
	Hold on, what is the name of this book?
	Why did I find out about this?
	Because I had one of the editors of one of the big publishing companies, who's a friend of mine to this day, tell me that this was the big buzz in the publishing community in New York, because every publisher knew about this information, but it was kind of like the crazy information you get when you're in the news business or if you're in the publishing business that just doesn't make it into the book, because the lawyers say no.
	Well, I thought about the Necrophiliac Club, which was apparently met every Wednesday once a month or something like that, at a mortuary.
	And then they would have the bodies that they thought were appealing lined up, and then these guys would go at it.
	And it's a disgusting thing to talk about, but...
	It seems to me that Cosby may be, and if anybody's not going to talk about something because there's something worse to talk about, if you're going to be like just a rapist, that's one thing.
	But if you're going to be a necrophiliac, the potential for really the humiliation is extreme.
	And I don't know.
	I'm just saying that you add two and two, and this is what it sounds like to me.
	You want to have sex with somebody that has no resistance whatsoever.
	And I think, by the way, these people, like the roofie women, are borderline necrophiliacs themselves.
	It's fairly sick.
	What kind of experience is that?
	We should try it and find out.
	I'm not going to try it.
	Okay, I remember you've told this story on the show before, many, many years ago about the club.
	About the book.
	About the book and the club.
	What is the name of this book?
	Do you remember?
	It was one of the biographies of Klaus von Bülow.
	Yes!
	Oh man, it's coming back to me.
	And I think they offhandedly accused him of being a member.
	Well, there's no proof of any of this.
	And everybody's dead, except Von Bulo is an old man living somewhere, I don't know where.
	I ran into him once at a...
	At a club in New York, by any chance?
	Oh, yeah, right.
	I was at some dinner at some restaurant, and somebody said, and I wasn't really too familiar with this, whoever, I can't remember who I was with, they said, Klaus Von Bulo is sitting right behind you.
	Act like you're alive.
	And I turned right around.
	What?
	You did one of those?
	Just to come back, Jimmy Savile has been accused by Paul Gambaccini, who is a fellow BBC radio presenter, of being a necrophiliac.
	And he was in all these hospitals all the time with the kids.
	He'd be with the kids and then he'd go over to the morgue.
	He's the most disgusting, imaginable person.
	A children's...
	God.
	It's not even...
	It's like borderline crazy to think about it.
	Duh.
	Yeah.
	I know.
	But anyway, that isn't something to discuss.
	And this is the kind of dinner discussion we have.
	No, perhaps.
	I love that you say, Mimi agrees, which means it must be true.
	She does.
	I mean, I say that.
	Because I need some backup.
	You're not going to say anything.
	We need a jingle for this.
	Necrophiliac!
	Just a thought.
	I think there's probably more of them out there than we'd like to imagine.
	Boom shakalaka, boom shakalaka, boom shakalaka, and boom shakalaka.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your...
	You told me to play...
	Oh, I thought there was a long one first, and then Booger T. Booger T is 14 seconds.
	Back on the Young Turks.
	Well...
	This morning we were talking with J.R. Jackson, who's our longtime producer, and he was saying, you know, every network and station covers Black History Month in the same way.
	You find out about Booger T. Washington in, like, little snippets, etc.
	Booger, booger, booger, booger.
	Okay, I understand.
	I misunderstood what you were doing.
	Booger, booger, booger.
	Yeah, that's a way to celebrate Black History Month, alright?
	Call the guy Booger T. Yeah.
	Hey, Booger T. I thought it was insulting to all black people.
	It was insulting to me, Booger T. Washington.
	Are you kidding me, Chunk?
	Oh, my goodness.
	And when you're saying his name, that's not what you're going to slur.
	You don't do that.
	No, it's Booger T. Washington.
	You say Booger.
	It's not hard to say Booker.
	Booger.
	Booger.
	And that'll do it for our special 2016 Christmas edition of the No Agenda Show.
	Big thanks to Sir Ramsey Cain, of course, for putting this all together and giving us, technically giving us a day off.
	We really appreciate it.
	Appreciate all of our producers as well who came in and helped us out with some support.
	Yeah, fantastic.
	And now tomorrow, you're in Los Angeles, right?
	I'm in Los Angeles.
	We're going to actually have a No Agenda meetup for anybody listening and want to hear this part of it.
	It's going to be the Citizen Bar and Restaurant at 6 o'clock.
	I think it's 180, I don't think it is, 184 North Cannon Street in Beverly Hills.
	And it'll be in the patio in the back.
	So the weather's supposed to be good.
	I really wish I could be there.
	Because the whole family's there, correct?
	Yeah, yeah, everybody.
	Yeah.
	Oh man, I'm sure Mimi will love meeting some of her Facebook friends.
	She was at the thing event in New York.
	She met Facebook friends.
	Yeah, but now she's really active.
	Now she's really all over it.
	Defending your honor, I might add.
	No, really?
	Well, yeah, sure.
	The way I see it, I find the whole system over there, the Facebook system, useless.
	All right.
	Say what you want.
	And we will return on Thursday with another live edition.
	Which you can catch live at NoAgendaStream.com.
	And also, thanks to the artists who came in for artwork for the Christmas edition, as well as whenever people submit.
	We love it.
	NoAgendaArtGenerator.com.
	All right, John.
	Have a great Christmas.
	Same to you.
	And have a great meet-up.
	Take pictures.
	And ask Mimi to do a Facebook Live.
	That would be awesome.
	Uh-huh.
	Yeah, I'll do that.
	And remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA for your support.
	Particularly for Thursday, we'll have a little bit longer segment.
	Until then, coming to you from reasonably chilly Austin, but no snow on the ground, in the crackpot condo, in the skyscraper.
	Capital of the Drone Star State, right here in FEMA Region 6.
	Until Thursday in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where Plato say, woman who abandons Latino Christmas store wished for lice Navidad.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back on Thursday right here on No Agenda.
	Until then, adios, mofos!
