About this episode

Rand Paul faces bizarre allegations of kidnapping and forced idol worship in a Kentucky political debate following a GQ report on the so-called Aqua Buddha incident. The controversy erupts as Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell initiates a Tenth Amendment legal challenge against federal healthcare mandates, arguing that the Commerce Clause does not grant Washington the power to force insurance purchases. These clashes between state sovereignty and federal overreach define a shifting American political landscape.

NPR terminated news analyst Juan Williams after he admitted to experiencing anxiety when seeing passengers in Muslim attire on airplanes during a segment on The O'Reilly Factor. Meanwhile, identical UFO formations appeared over Phoenix, El Paso, and Manhattan, prompting NASA Ambassador Jason Kendall to dismiss the sightings as mere balloons. In France, President Nicolas Sarkozy faces massive labor strikes and fuel shortages as citizens protest plans to raise the national retirement age to sixty-two. At home, Express Jet pilot Michael Roberts was barred from flying for refusing TSA body scans, sparking a national opt-out movement against invasive airport security protocols.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak conduct a formal knighthood ceremony for top donors Adam Burkpile and Thomas Nussbaum during this 10-10-10 drive celebration. The hosts mock speculative CNN reports regarding Osama bin Laden’s location in Pakistan and identify suspicious parallels between their podcast format and a recent episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Jimmy McMillan of the Rent Is Too Damn High Party provides a rare moment of levity in the gubernatorial race.

00:00 Get on their knees and worship the Aqua Buddha. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Thursday, October 21st, 2010. Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 245. This is no agenda. Fighting a conspiracy of balloon pranksters every single day from the Hilltop Watchtower, Crackpot Command Center, Gitmo Nation West, and the People's Republic of Southern California. In the morning, I'm Adam Curry. And with a long, less-winded introduction, although I could go longer, I'm John C. DuBois. This is Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning! In the morning to you, sir.

00:37 What's this about balloons, my friend? Well, I figured that you would be... the tables will turn today and you will be the conspiracy theorist. By the way, I want to welcome all the human resources out there and I want to say hello to all the ships at sea. Yes, and of course all of our human resources in the chat room who are all charged up and ready the way their government loves them. And remember, it ain't over till the fat guy gets tased. So how am I the conspiracy guy this week? Well, seeing as we had on the 17th, it's been a long, this was actually a tough one. I think we had, you know, we have our four days in between shows. Was it Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday? Yeah, almost four days really when you think about it.

CHAPTER 02 / 29 Discussion

UFO Sightings Over Phoenix, El Paso, and Manhattan

Identical UFO sightings were reported over Phoenix, El Paso, Manhattan, and Richmond on October 17, 2010. High-quality video footage shows lights moving in formations that skeptics attribute to balloons or airshow planes, while others suggest more mysterious origins. Local news reports from El Paso and Richmond describe the objects as hovering and moving in strange patterns for several hours.

ufo· phoenix· el paso· manhattan· richmond· project blue beam· aerial phenomena

01:24 And of course on the 17th we had identical UFO sightings over Phoenix, Arizona, El Paso, Texas, Manhattan, Richmond, Virginia. Identical daylight, high quality video. And I figured, you know, what can you say? All you can say is, yeah, it's some kids with balloons. So that means there must be a conspiracy of balloon pranksters out there. Or, there could be an underground, it could be a Facebook group. Oh yeah, it's a Facebook group, it's a Facebook conspiracy. Yeah, exactly. Of course.

02:00 Of course it is John. That's what the kids can do nowadays. You're just kind of like you know your daughter. How about you just admit that... How about shooting these things down if they're there. Not only that but they're stationary. This is what cracks me up. Yeah no no they're stationary. They're not just... Have you seen the video? Have you even looked at it or are you so jaded you won't even look at the video now? Well, you got me so if you actually would take some time going to the show notes and no agenda show calm look at out there You will be blown away By and by the way all the mainstream news and I have two reports which I'd like to share with you are all you know They're not then now. They're just like well. Okay. It's UFOs. Hope they're friendly

02:43 I swear to God and and they're just and they're just making fun of it and you know they put in X-Files music but let me let me play two clips before we get started this is so first of all over Manhattan I mean clear skies blue skies obvious that these are craft doing things that not balloons can't do this john this is not these balloons balloons are not capable of this type of formation and movement that they made but they completely identical to what was seen over el paso this news report local from el paso really sums up how how real this is because of course you know we have to then make fun of it

03:27 Here we are, hold on. This is what one of our photographers, Ram Moreno, caught on video. One solitary light that appears to be falling in the sky. But that light suddenly breaks apart into two, then three separate lights. Yeah, this is what balloons do all the time. Particularly... They actually, there's aluminum balloons that are not made out of rubber. And they go very fast. It's great how fast those aluminum balloons can go. They'll fall and when they break, they break up or whatever because they probably broke up already and then they'll

04:17 being maybe in pieces and and they have light so they have huge batteries on board these aluminum balloons John is that what it is you reflect the Sun yes at night they reflect the Sun at night okay this is a nighttime video those lights then just freeze in the air and begin to hover eventually a fourth light can be seen then the lights appear to be hovering and then moving in a strange pattern then they all disappear We received a lot of phone calls into our newsroom tonight from people in the northeast part of town and on the east side. All of them wanting to know what was going on. And the descriptions from everyone calling, basically the same. One caller thought a plane was falling. Another thought it was a meteorite. So what would you do, John, if you were a good news organization?

05:03 Well, if I had seen this, I would have at least tried to find the remote control pilot or something. I would have probably followed up a little better. I would have called the Air Force at least. Okay, the report is not over. Thank you. Others, though, said it looked like a UFO. Now, you want to get really creepy? Check this video out. Just two days ago, in the sky above Manhattan, people froze on the street there as they saw these three lights hovering in the middle of the day. And check this out. The three lights are close to each other, then spread out into this triangle pattern. Now, look at the patterns side by side. This from Manhattan, and the other tonight in El Paso. I gotta tell ya, they do look eerily similar. So, let's do some investigative reporting! Well, tonight we did talk with the El Paso airport spokeswoman. She says there were airshow planes in the air tonight running through- Now, now, this- I love this.

05:58 There were airshow planes in the air tonight. Yeah. Now, as an aviator, I'll tell you that it happens all the time. We always practice close formation at night. It's very, very smart. It really, it hones your skills amazingly. And we do it in whisper mode too. Wait, wait, wait. There is a kind of, I don't want to be, this is maybe a sick comment. But the Air Force Thunderbirds have been known to crash a lot. And so maybe, uh, well, they did now and they hover and you know, they were doing some great maneuvers. Maybe they're in Harriers.

06:36 silent harriers that hover but now listen to how these job bronies follow this one on the worst so she couldn't tell us exactly which crews were doing that more exercises are gonna happen tomorrow night as well it's like a and not only tonight are we doing these amazing silent harrier uh... lits uh... close fly-by maneuvers in the dark we're gonna do it again tonight everybody just stick around will be here all week rally i know you are a believer That little green men were floating around above us. Actually, we were more like joking about how they probably were in Manhattan and they were like, oh, these New Yorkers are too rude. Let's go somewhere nicer. They hid itself. The New Yorkers are too rude. Let's just go somewhere else. Yeah, exactly. All right, it's very funny. But also over Richmond, Virginia.

07:25 Oh, it may have something to do with the clips. I have. Hold on, listen to Richmond. I got Richmond, Virginia. ...fan district last weekend. No, it wasn't Mark Holmberg. People who live there want to know. Jonathan Martin from RVA TV gave us this video he shot last night near Floyd Avenue. There it is. It shows a strange little ball of ball of light dancing in the air. Dozens of people reported seeing this unidentified shining object. This is Richmond, Virginia. This is Spook Central. Why aren't the F-16s scrambled to shoot this out of the sky? Object in the fan area. We spoke with one of the witnesses. Looked like a star. It was moving like a bug, real sporadic, very quick, and blinking on and off, almost kind of like a code, kind of like a Morse code type blink.

08:14 Witnesses we spoke with say the strange light was moving in the air for about four hours. Yeah, yeah, please don't investigate don't don't send any F-16s or anything John there's only two possibilities one Truly as predicted okay a day or two late But you know we had the whole minor thing that the minors were being saved so the guy you know the the The UFO is like, oh shit, we're being usurped again. So we'll just wait until the coverage is over and then we'll come out. They do, as predicted. Normally when these predictions come out, it's like, oh, they didn't feel like it or it's not quite time yet or you just didn't see them. But now it was simultaneously above multiple cities in the United States, the same formations, this exact same phenomena. So it's either real

CHAPTER 03 / 29 Discussion

NASA Solar System Ambassador Jason Kendall UFO Response

Jason Kendall, the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Solar System Ambassador for New York City, appeared on network news to address recent UFO sightings. Kendall dismissed the craft as likely being balloons, high-flying aircraft, or high-altitude clouds. The hosts criticize his official title and his dismissive explanation of the aerial phenomena.

nasa· jason kendall· jet propulsion laboratory· ufo· solar system ambassador

09:08 Or it's perhaps Project Blue Beam, but that's another... That's for another day. But I'm gonna... Project Blue Beam, so everybody out there that listens to our show has to go look this up now because you're gonna save it for another day. They don't have to look it up. It's in the show notes at noagendershow.com. But I'm willing to believe that this was real, particularly the way that, you know, listen to this response from... In New York they had a guy from NASA on. They had the spokesman from NASA, the What are they called agency? Yes, the solar system ambassador. This guy is so bad. It's like we got what the solar system Ambassador to the jet propulsion lab, who gave him this job the system or somebody on Earth series they actually ask him that in the report, but so the guy is like he's like He's sitting there with his face. It's like oh

10:02 Who can we put out there who can tell a bold-faced lie and no one will care if it turns out that he was a liar because the guy doesn't matter. That in front of us right there, that man is Jason Kendall and he has quite a title, Jason, the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Solar System Ambassador for all of New York City. New York City, whatever that means. It sounds very important. We just want to let folks know though, at the bottom of the screen there are all kinds of texts that people are sending in. I was actually reading some of them, their comments on the UFO sightings or whatever it may be. Good to have you with us, Jason. Thank you.

10:37 We're getting some feedback here, instant feedback. Did you see what that was? No, I didn't have the opportunity to see it. I live way up in Inwood. I'm the solar system ambassador. No one called me. They didn't knock at the embassy door. So we didn't see it up there. So here's what's happening today. There are a lot of conspiracy theories out there. lying around you think conspiracy theories conspiracy theories of course there are this is network news this conspiracy what do you think they really could be well one thing's for certain the first thing that they're most likely not is spacecraft from another planet listen I'm the ambassador no matter what you say one thing's for certain what they are not is spacecraft from this is unthinkable shut up slaves unfortunately the case they're most likely not that

11:28 My personal theory is that they're most likely balloons. Yes, balloons! Kids on Facebook with balloons. Yes. Prank by a kid. Kid prank prank by a kid! These kids are pretty damn sophisticated. I'm hiring this kid. You know what, NASA should hire this kid if you've got a kid who can make a prank this elaborate in four cities at the same time. It's all the possibilities too. They could be any number of things. It could be high-flying aircraft. They could be... High-flying aircraft. Hmm, Harrier jets. Something coming in from orbit. They could even be very... What something coming in from orbit John did he actually said that me he actually said it across I

12:07 They could be something coming in from orbit. Yes, that's exactly what it is. It's something coming in from orbit. From a foreign solar system. Like what? Mr. Ambassador. It could even be very, very high altitude clouds. Clouds! Oh yes, it's clouds. Clouds, I'm not buying that. ... but they do look, all the pictures do look very compelling and they're very interesting. They do seem to be they do seem to be certainly flying The jabroni of all jabronis life from another planet and we're not being invaded Jason well, that would be good I'm personally glad about that time right now. You know as long as there was not a good time We're not we're not in a very welcoming mood. What do you mean? You're the ambassador

12:52 ambassador you should be there with open arms hello welcome what else does an ambassador do you host people from foreign solar systems yeah if they want to come in they get they watch us that's fine as long as it's good for the ratings right sightings like this in our area To the best of my knowledge, no. I don't know of any. Anyway, so let's just get the guy's title and then we're done with him. Yes. I volunteer with NASA and Jet Propulsion Laboratory based out of Pasadena. And I do public outreaches with them on NASA missions that are currently happening.

13:28 in space today. And I lie for a paycheck. We talk about lots of things all over town. I give talks and do uptown stargazing all in the town. How does he get that gig? I don't know, I want it though. I want to be the solar system... Adam Curry, solar system ambassador. Hello, welcome, how you doing? Welcome to the embassy. I'll build a little landing pad here at the hilltop. Watch tower no problem, so This is just real the every single response all the stupid answers these jabronis. They roll out It means it's real this was a real occurrence And I strongly urge you John to at least take a look at the video because I'll take a look at the video I'll check it out. I'll give it the once over. I'll look it over good. You give it the once over you're such a non-believer Let's check it out. Yeah, maybe somebody

18:26 When you contribute to the movie or the television series, this is what you get. Go ahead and turn on the television if you really must and you'll see exactly this happening. The only difference between a Hollywood credit and our credit is that we will actually vouch for you.

Well, it's an expensive show. Yeah, it is. Duh. Cost a million bucks to produce that show.

CHAPTER 05 / 29 Discussion

No Agenda Shots YouTube Initiative and Viral Marketing

Producer Ryan Braidlove launched a PR initiative called "No Agenda Shots," creating short YouTube clips of the podcast to help the show go viral. Braidlove intends to donate 67% of any potential ad revenue back to the show while retaining 33%. The hosts discuss the importance of short, shareable content for audience growth.

ryan braidlove· no agenda shots· youtube· viral marketing· ad revenue

19:18 Our formula is this we go out we hit people in the mouth Shut up stupid slaves so we might as well go oh wait a minute I'm sorry I had one PR mention that I wanted to and this comes along with the idea of the primer show which you and I have actually discussed a lot of good ideas coming in for that and still good

19:58 Good ideas coming in at the drop, drop.io slash NAPrimer, P-R-I-M-E-R. Some good testimonials there. This is from Ryan Braidlove. I've donated in the past, was the producer that suggested the drive for three. This was the March 3rd funding drive we did. Recently started a new PR initiative for the show called No Agenda Shots. This is how you vaccinate the populace with a little shot of no agenda. The idea came from all the political emails my friends send me. I've created an account on YouTube called No Agenda Shots.

20:35 and with this the No Agenda producers have the ability to send short No Agenda clips to their friends and post them on forums, Twitter and Facebook. So far I have 12 shots posted and of course I put the link in the show notes so you can propagate those. They're short little bits and he plans on doing three every single episode from now on. Episode number one is Germany Boy. So essentially he's taking little three to six minute clips of the show which represent... Right, that's actually a skill by the way. It's a total skill to have to edit that, get the right piece out. That's really the trick, make it short. And then, and so what he's done is he's pasted the album art over the audio. And this was of us in our lederhosen with the drunken goat. That was the Germany boy episode. He says, I plan on applying for ads on YouTube.

21:24 If successful, getting an ad partnership, which is tough because they put you through some rigorous terrorism testing. I will donate 67% of all ad revenues to KnowAgenda, allowing me to keep the magic number 33%. I believe this PR initiative will create an excellent viral campaign, hopefully a source of money. We hope so too and if not just for money getting these things going viral is a big deal. You know I receive hundreds of emails between shows and a lot of it is just that it's like viral stuff you know like you know what went really viral this week the The Rent is Too Damn High party. That guy yeah. I love this guy. How come we don't have a guy like this in California? I'd vote for him immediately. We do.

CHAPTER 06 / 29 Discussion

Jimmy McMillan and The Rent Is Too Damn High Party

Jimmy McMillan, founder of "The Rent Is Too Damn High Party," gained national attention during a New York gubernatorial debate. McMillan's performance, characterized by his distinctive beard, black gloves, and repetitive slogan, focused on the inability of citizens to afford housing and food. The hosts praise his entertainment value and his libertarian stance on social issues like gay marriage.

I haven't seen the Aqua Buddha. Oh! Well here, take a look. It's, well just play the clip, the Rand Paul clip that I sent off.

CHAPTER 07 / 29 Discussion

Rand Paul Aqua Buddha Controversy and GQ Article

A Kentucky political debate featured accusations against Rand Paul regarding an "Aqua Buddha" incident from his college years, originally reported by GQ Magazine. The claim alleged that Paul and a friend kidnapped a woman and forced her to worship a "false idol." Paul dismissed the story as a ridiculous attack based on anonymous sources from 30 years ago.

rand paul· aqua buddha· gq magazine· kentucky· political debate

26:03 Okay, here we go. Anonymous quotes from a GQ magazine article and it was a hot topic at a weekend debate between the two candidates. When is it ever a good idea? A good idea to tie up a woman and ask her to kneel before a false idol, your god that you call Aquabuddha. Jack, you know how we tell when you're lying is when your lips are moving, okay? You're accusing me of crimes. You just, do you know nothing about the process? You're going to stand up there and accuse me of a crime for 30 years ago from some anonymous source? How ridiculous are you?

26:40 I didn't hear about this one. This is the debate with the with Rand Paul And the guy running against him whose name it eludes me, but he came out with the apparently GQ published something about Rand Paul like when he was in college he used to I guess make women get naked and put handcuffs behind their back and then get on their knees and worship the aqua Buddha and Okay, I'm liking Rand Paul more now too. Yeah, that's what a lot of people say. And it's like, wait a minute, what is that? There's no references. You can't find out anything about this quote unquote, aqua Buddha. It is pretty obvious what we're talking about here. Yeah a bong. Yeah Well, that could be I was thinking a little more lewd, but I got your aqua But you know the wet Buddha, you know, you got to worship him get on your knees a woman Oh Buddha the wet Buddha

27:34 And so nobody's born better. I think the bong is closer to reality. You know, the dude was probably token away. Oh, he looks like he still is. But but he had a man when this guy called him out on it. But the thing was, it was like such a stupid thing to call him out on because you knew it was something. But it was bogus. Of course, it's bogus. That's fine. And but this this aqua Buddha is like a meme. It should be a meme. The funny thing is, and you didn't hear about it. It just basically floated around the right-wing media a little bit and never got into the mainstream because as funny as it is instead everybody went with With the with the rents to high guy and they left the aqua Buddha out and left it on the table The table there was there that the aqua Buddha was left flaccid boom

CHAPTER 08 / 29 Discussion

Bob Guccione Death and Playboy Mansion Decline

The hosts reflect on the death of Penthouse magazine publisher Bob Guccione at age 73. This leads to a discussion about the perceived decline of the Playboy Mansion, with claims that the legendary venue has transitioned from an exclusive celebrity hangout to a transactional environment where guests use tokens for sexual favors.

bob guccione· penthouse magazine· playboy mansion· hugh hefner· prostitution

28:28 I think you deserve a little... You get one for that. Oh, before we continue John, a moment of silence and thought and prayer and thanks to Bob Guccione Jr. who passed away. He did? Yes, 73 years old, of course the publisher of Penthouse magazine. Yeah. And many an aqua Buddha has stood before his magazine. That's what I would think. I got to meet him once. Really? Yeah, see like a pretty good. He said his apartment. He had a party in his apartment in New York around didn't you back in the day? and He was just exactly the way I mean everything that you would think it's stereo just stereotyped the whole scene boom That was it. I Love it Perfect. Yeah, so it's exactly what did you get laid? Oh

29:20 I didn't get laid unfortunately. Was there some laying going on? I don't know it was hard to tell because it was like the girls that were there and there's just tons of them really had a kind of a kind of a creepy quality that was they're gorgeous but it was like there's something really off It wasn't a comfortable place to be. You know that's what the Playboy Mansion has become. Because I know a lot of people, it's kind of like it used to be an exclusive thing for celebrities and you know, if you are I got an invite to the mansion. But now it's literally a whorehouse where you go to the party, the girls are bused in so then they can't even leave, they can only leave with the bus. And you get a token and you can buy tokens and a token is like you know good for a hundred dollars.

30:01 and you can only surmise what that gets you in the grotto. But it's literally become a place to get laid for a hundred bucks. I mean, I know tons of guys are like, what if the Playboy Mansion was really fucking creepy? You know, you get a token and the girls are like, you got any tokens? Got any tokens? Can you give them a token? And they blow you. It's like, huh? That's not, the Playboy Mansion was supposed to be like, you know, crazy and nutty and you know, the Bill Cosby would be hanging out and all the, you know, all the people you wouldn't expect to be doing nutty stuff, but not like paying for sex. He wasn't supposed to be paying for it.

CHAPTER 09 / 29 Discussion

Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and Tenth Amendment Lawsuit

Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell is leading a legal challenge against the federal health care mandate, citing the Tenth Amendment. The lawsuit argues that the federal government oversteps its constitutional bounds by forcing citizens to purchase insurance. The discussion highlights the conflict between state sovereignty and federal power, specifically regarding the Commerce Clause and taxation.

bob mcdonnell· virginia· tenth amendment· obamacare· health care mandate

30:39 Yeah, it's just weird. It's really weird. It's sad sad days good times are gone. Yeah That's because the government has taken over as we now know with the as we read and try to understand better by the way I did get some more notes on the 10th amendment thing that we're promoting and and again this little thing that was written a couple years ago we're trying to promote that yeah nobody else is trying to promote although i have to say that got the virginia governor this guy robert bob mcdonnell uh... it seems to be uh... part of uh... yeah uh... that would be virginia pulled a quick one on obama and their uh... health care plan

31:21 They passed a law before the health care plan passed, a Virginia law that says nobody can force you to buy insurance. Right, well this is exactly, this is the right thing to do. So they passed this, and so as soon as Obamacare was passed, they sued the government using the 10th Amendment as their basis. And I got a couple clips here that are kind of enlightening, and I want to bring out a few more. And obviously this Robert McDonald is partly behind this. He's the newer governor there. And I want to say, what's interesting to me is now you're starting to see subtle propaganda aimed at Virginia.

32:00 specifically like UFOs flying over it well I thought the UFO so much but you got in foreign policy magazine is a very negative blog posting and there's it's just they make Virginia look like a bunch of old Confederate Whack job tonight. Can I just for our foreign listeners who may be new and I do see new some new people in the chatroom no agenda chat net is What we're talking about here is the Tenth Amendment. It is a part of the United States Constitution our constitutional laws because the way the United States was originally set up and still should be today is the states have their own rules

32:36 rules and laws that precede or overrule anything the federal government may try to do. In fact, the federal government really can't impose anything on the states, but this has been forgotten. Unless, wait, unless it's specifically in the Constitution or has something to do with the laws in the Constitution, like fine-tuning them. Right, okay. And so forcing the purchasing of insurance which well and of course this is why we have a president who was a constitutional lawyer he says uh... is because you know words matter you twist stuff around and say well this is a under the constitutional uh... for the general good of the population something is not it is not what they would they sold this as that the government can make this rule and force us to buy insurance well actually the government uses a couple different things typically to ram their federal legislation down the throats of the public

33:31 one is the commerce commerce clause right which is the fact that anything has to do with with anything that goes on between the states can be governed by the federal government which is what they're gonna try to do with the marijuana thing which we'll talk about later if it passes the government's gonna come right after california for using the commerce clause saying that what you're not to be able to keep it in california and somebody's gonna scoot take some of the dope they buy in california and sell it in nevada so now it's subject to the commerce clause as we're going to do The other one is the taxation laws, and that's what they're trying to pull with this thing that Virginia did. And I want to, before I play the McDonald clip where he talks about the 10th Amendment, this beautiful clip, which I thought was just hilarious, was Greta Van Susteren did this report, by the way.

34:15 and it was uh... let's see what is the name of this clear is called the health bear the health care bill now if you remember when they uh... as a new tax when if you remember when they passed it they said no no no it's not a tax and you know you you know you get it find if you don't have to buy and help by the i a r s it's not a time to hire a simple the i a r s will find you if i a r s of i was not a taxes that taxes not attacks because obama said there's no new taxes so play this clip one of the questions came up today which is i guess is my favorite is the question is that when this was passed as i recall the house and the senate those people in favor and the president of the united states said no no no this is not a tax they were emphatic about it the politicians because no one wanted to raise taxes now though the lawyers are in court for the federal government the justice department and now they say

35:08 It is a tax. That's right. There's a little bit of a little they should talk to each other a little bit. But why does it matter if it's a tax or not? Well, first of all, I call that a flop flip because they started with the right position. A flop flip is supposed to be a flip flop or he calls it a flop. And it's not a tax. And it matters because Congress has the power to tax. So if this is a tax. the legislation is saved under the taxing power even if they didn't have the power to do it as a regulation of commerce under the Commerce Clause. So this is their fallback provision. That's the significance in this case of the tax argument. In terms of looking at the statute, the House originally used the word tax. It went over to the Senate and the Senate quickly got rid of the word tax. So the final bill, does it use the word tax at all?

35:52 at all not to describe the failure to buy the government mandated health insurance there are all kinds of taxes in the final bill but if you don't buy the government approved health insurance what is assessed against you in the bill is called a penalty not a tax right or a fine yeah right which is by the way we have you know I was listening to somebody the other day going on about how we have the lowest taxes in the world please please brother way that it was like highest we have the hot probably the highest in the world if you count all the the various uh... you know levies like uh... you know fines and penalties and and screwball taxes on your gasoline airport i i i i went to a car it's been i went down to a d m v to register the uh... and the stop the sob in my name i have the uh... nineteen ninety nine sob niner three convertible with the lights always on

36:46 And, um, I paid three grand for this thing. I had a usage fee, a usage fee, which I guess is another word for tax, of $460! That's like 11% of the price of the car! What is the usage fee? What is that? It's a tax, it's just a way to take your money. It doesn't do anything, it just goes right into the tax coffers. It was, it was like, what?! $460 is that a percentage tax or is that a... Nah, they just nick you for anything they can. And you paid it, didn't you? Well I had to! Yeah, yeah. Otherwise you... No car for you, snake! Yeah, now the government's got it. Yeah, but, but it, who, how does, what is this based upon? The car is... Nothing!

37:31 This is like, you know, you rent a car in this country and it's like, oh great, you're paying $19 a day and you walk out of there, it's $65 a day. There's the airport tax, there's the lot tax, there's the feed tax, there's the usage tax, and there's this fee and that fee and the other fee and the next thing you know you pay twice as much and the... I mean, it's ridiculous. You know what I do when I... I don't rent cars anymore barely, but I'll fart in the seat and smoke just to spite them. Well, ripoffs doesn't you know, there's that what there is to make is not that it's not the rental car company feel better Okay with that if that works, okay. Well, here's Robert McDonald Virginia governor discussing what they did part of it and how important the Tenth Amendment is and how we've just completely dropped the ball on this and Apparently Virginia's picked it up

38:18 Governor, nice to see you. And the Commonwealth of Virginia, you're taking on the big guys, you're taking on the feds. In health care? Yeah. It's, there's a number of things that we're looking at that we're trying to restore some meaning to the 10th Amendment. And frankly, just to try to do locally what's best for the people of Virginia. Mr. Jefferson said the government closest to the people governs best. Well, that's Richmond and not Washington. So yeah, the federal health care bill, it's about health care, but the lawsuit that we have filed is really more about what is the balance of power between the state and the federal government? Is the Congress clause so broad that it could have a mandate by Congress that would deprive you of your property if you failed to buy insurance? And so that's what's at stake here. And I think over these next months and years we're going to have a very robust debate in this country about

39:10 what are the limits of federal power? What does the 10th Amendment mean? And if it means something, let's get it restored to rebalance the state federal power. Well, it's sort of interesting because you have the health care battle. And in the course of the health care battle, you do have sort of the states, the Commonwealth of Virginia as well, sort of rising up almost against the power of the big federal government. And that seems to be sort of a shift. We haven't seen much of that lately. I think for probably 60, 70 years the federal courts have upheld acts of both Democrat and Republican Congress that have probably, in my view, overstepped the bounds of Madison and Jefferson.

39:51 and Mason put in place some 230 years ago. And so this is what you're seeing now, particularly with this rapid march to the left this Congress has taken over the last couple of years with things like health care. So now he's not the most erudite with this Tenth Amendment thing. He knows there's something going on. He's boring is what he is. Boring. He's a little on the boring side. It's not working that way. And she doesn't really understand that there's a movement afoot. I mean she's just kind of like playing along, you know, she's a lawyer anyway. She's mostly concerned with the law. She's got the weirdest face. Well, she's had a facelift which makes her look even weirder. I don't know if Rhea's had a facelift? It's just weird. Yeah, she has a weird face. But anyway, the point is... It doesn't matter. I like her. We're missing out. I mean, this Tenth Amendment thing still hasn't caught

CHAPTER 10 / 29 Discussion

Federalism vs. Nationalism and the Tenth Amendment Movement

The hosts clarify the historical and modern definitions of "Federalist," arguing that the term is often misused to describe those who actually support a strong national government. They advocate for the Tenth Amendment movement and decentralization, citing Thomas Woods' book on nullification. They argue the United States is too large to be governed effectively from a single central location.

federalism· nationalism· tenth amendment· thomas woods· central government

40:42 I mean, I think our listeners, after hearing us discuss it in some sort of a meaningful way, and if anyone's read the Nullification Book by Woods, they'll have a handle on it. But if you don't do that... In fact, I got a note from somebody the other day saying, well, you know, the good thing... I'm all with you on this. I'm a federalist. And I said, what do you mean? And he said, he misused the word, the idea, you know, because we have a federal government, we have all these states, they all have powers. And so if you're all for that, you're a federalist. That's not true. If you really look at the definition of federalists, the federalists are people who believe in big federal government. They want this centralized government to be a national government and there is a movement in this country that's been going on since the Roosevelt administration at least that promotes the idea of a national government which is what we're trying to avoid because the national government doesn't serve the interests of the people in the various states. The country's too big. In fact, during the

41:39 Civil War in the 1800s, if you read any of the documents that were floating around, most of the Europeans at the time all felt, you know, because they thought that England should own half of the country and France should own the other half, the South. And everybody in Europe, especially these countries, not anybody in Russia obviously, but the countries in most of the European countries all believed that the United States at the time in the 1800s when it wasn't completely filled out was too big to govern by a central government. It was way too big, it had to be hacked up and they were actually partially responsible for the... Well, having read Nullification,

42:17 What it really boils down to is language. This is what I see as the big problem because it's all about interpretation of how something was written back in the day, what was meant with it by those standards, and how language, literally language is interpreted today. That's what I'm seeing is a huge difference between interpretations and that's basically that's all that lawyers do. They just speak a different language and they translate and like oh whatever the lawyer said so but it's about the words and it's you know the right to bear arms even goes into a well-regulated militia which in when the Constitution was written meant organized you know so there are a whole bunch of different things that the word it's like the word gay you know it meant something different back then

43:08 And this is the problem, is that you change the language and then I guess you can interpret the Constitution differently. Well, the point is, when you start to boil it down, it's pretty obvious that these changes have not been a positive thing, they're not beneficial by any means. And I want to just point out to people out there that a Federalist is somebody who is against the Tenth Amendment movement, therefore a national government, a Federalist, and the Republicans have, half their party or more are Federalists and half the Democrats or all of them are Federalists in the sense that they want a big national government to run everything. And the few people that are part of the Tenth Amendment movement, and you can look it up on Google, there's a number of websites floating around, but it's just beginning.

43:51 have finally gotten a clue about the fact that we're getting screwed by this this this this other model it's no good I have a country is in fact as they believed in the eighteen hundreds too big to govern from a central location like that and you can see it every time we time you look around I have a jingle Yeah, anyway, that's my little that's just a rhyme. No, I want to belabor the point we've talked about it to death. Well, I will say Constitution or not There's a reason why we have only two certified listeners in France only two I'm sorry get my nation stinky cheese

CHAPTER 11 / 29 Discussion

French Labor Strikes and Retirement Age Protests

Widespread strikes and protests erupted in France in response to President Nicolas Sarkozy's plan to raise the retirement age from 60 to 62. The "austerity measures" led to fuel shortages and trash accumulation as workers across various sectors walked off the job. The hosts compare the assertiveness of French citizens to the perceived passivity of the American public.

france· nicolas sarkozy· labor strike· retirement age· austerity measures

44:36 I have been, of course this news is barely trickling through to the United States of Gitmo because God forbid anyone get an idea but good on you Frenchies. The French just said, first of all the French work less than anybody. They retire earlier at 60. None of this 65 bull crap. 60. They work 35 hours a week. They got great wine. Okay, they got hairy women, but that's okay. That's part of the culture. They got great stinky cheese. That was the last opportunity for a donation. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm about to really come... That's okay. That doesn't matter. No French are listening to this show. Except for Fabrice. Yeah, with Fabrice and one other guy, Pierre.

45:22 and their productivity is relatively high. Now, so the bankers of course came in and screwed everyone over and now that with all this fake debt money that was never there in the first place and now the slaves you know what can we do how can we spin this to get some more out of the slaves oh yeah we'll call it austerity measures and we'll tell everybody and it's happening across all the United States of Europe everybody has to work two years longer you can't retire at your designated age of course is a huge amount of people set to retire you know the the the grayification of the United States of Europe is well in play and so the French government

46:04 Napoleon over there, Sarkozy, he says, you guys gotta raise that pension age from 60 to 62. And the French go, I don't think so. You could suck my penis. We are not doing this. And they stop immediately. There's no oil, there's no gas, they're not picking up the trash. And everyone is like, screw you. And you know what? They'll cut off your head. Because we've done it before we're gonna cut your head off bitches. We're gonna cut it off and the government is afraid of them That's what it is. They're afraid of the people and it works and I gotta say if I was in Europe right now I'd move to France

46:43 nice timing on the train that was amazing nice timing alright Mr. Hiller. That's the train to the concentration camp for you my friend I am just in awe. I am in awe. Come on I'm in awe. No the French they will they will they don't put up with crap I mean and then it didn't it down the local level they don't either I'm always reminded of the of the of the of the wine strike that took place where they had this is like we talked about this in the show a couple years ago when the Apparently some of the big wine producers were trucking in wine from Spain to be blended with French wine so they could sell plonk in the grocery stores. And the French, with masks on, a bunch of Zoros, they would hijack these tankers and then just take the guy out and march him into the woods and take his pants off and then dump the wine down the sewer. It was great.

CHAPTER 12 / 29 Discussion

Pilot Michael Roberts and TSA Body Scanner Opt-Out

Express Jet pilot Michael Roberts was barred from flying after refusing to undergo a TSA full-body scan or a manual pat-down at Memphis International Airport. Roberts argued that the procedures violated his privacy and liberty. The hosts encourage listeners to "opt out" of advanced imaging technology to protest the implementation of these security measures.

michael roberts· tsa· body scanners· express jet· privacy rights

47:39 what we need this is this is where we need to go. We haven't got no balls in this country. Well stop, I'm gonna stop you right there because it is starting and I think we have a tremendous opportunity we have a very very very small window here but I would like to suggest something because we can't, dissent matters by the way. You know I think you said on the last show yeah what can one guy do well I think we've the most emailed story that I received at least was of this uh... express jet pilot who said you know what screw you actually was uh... first officer so copilot for most people he said screw you i'm not gonna let you look at me naked i'm not gonna come to work every single day and be felt up by a bunch of freaks i'm just not going to do it and stop and enough already with the body scanner i'm not gonna do it no way and uh... i think

48:32 that we have a tremendous opportunity right now, right here for everybody to opt out of the body scanner. That will be a perfect way and it's being because if we don't right now is optional your opt-out, opt-out, opt-out, opt-out, opt-out. It's optional right now but if we don't it's going to become mandatory. Oh, it's a yeah. Well now by the way, we did have a one of our listeners ran into one just an open website I guess the TSA had posted a bunch of their memos. and they sent these in and it was interesting to see, essentially it was the responses to people who phone in and complain. And I'm gonna give you some phone numbers and some email addresses where you can do this by the way in a minute. Oh, we'll go put them in the show notes. Because they were all blocked out, it was a Freedom of Information Act document. By the way, great job to our producer there for finding that. Yeah, but one of the things that I noticed in there, it was the language, no you should, we apologize to the woman because these are all people that phoned in after the fact and bitched.

49:34 So we apologize a woman told her that she had the opportunity to opt out or Or to opt out and for a pat-down or to walk through the metal detector Which is not really not true because I have had this happen. I opted out there was a metal detector No pat down for you pat down pat down Yeah, so they're either lying to the public about going through the metal detector instead of the pat-down, because it's 100% pat-down. You're absolutely right. And a hassle. They'll make you wait, they'll make you stand by yourself, they'll point at you, they try to humiliate you for not going through the thing because they want to see you naked or whatever the deal is. We know the thing's not effective. There's been 85 million flights without an incident, without those idiotic devices. It can give you cataracts.

50:25 radiate they give x radiation out they probably cause cancer and other things and i'm sure that the staff there's gonna have all kinds of losses which is going to cost you the taxpayer the money at the point where some of these guys who work for the tsa start suing the tsa for their working conditions and the whole thing is a fiasco and uh... we do have to and i i i did the pilot by the way the latest news as it came in tomorrow is that he's probably going to be fired yes and uh... and i hope to god he sets up a paypal account i will send him money i was i will send him my money and i think what we can support this guy

51:02 the real way to support what he's done is everybody needs to do the same thing opt out because they are now selling this and this is the blatant lie i got i got two clips here one from a former f a a uh... the former f a a administer who by the way all pilots hate hated but that's an aside uh... who actually states with a blatant lie that the The naked body scanners speed up the process. Bull crap. They slow it down. It takes longer. It takes longer than going through the metal detector. The metal detector is, you're in, you're out. You're in, you're out. You're in, you're out. The naked body scan, you got to stand there, assume the position with your hands above your head, because that of course lifts the breasts up. That's hornier for the guy backstage.

51:49 But then you've got the mainstream media who and this is this is this is what you got to watch out for this is why I say we have a very small window because it's going to become mandatory. We've got Al Roker. Al Roker who is the national weatherman for NBC who I've worked with on many occasions when I worked at WHTZ. Z100 everybody in New York City and did the morning show the morning zoo. Hey everybody. And this is back when he was really fat. He's lost all that weight. I think he had one of those stomach things staple stapled. Yeah I can tell you the guy is a dick a total jerk off. He is an egocentric Uncollegiate what's the word?

52:34 He uh, he's uncollegiate. Yeah, uncollegiate. Screws over his colleagues. He's a total jackass. Really. I mean I've worked with this guy. I'm like, oh my god, I can't believe he's like he hogs everything. It has to be all about him. He's a dick, dick, dick. And so he apparently has some... How do you really feel? Oh, I hate this guy. He's a shithead. total dork and he has a morning show on the weather channel and he does the story and listen to how he talks about this incident. It's certainly going to be very pesky but Al I love seeing that snow on the map. It's coming baby, alright. Well now here's a question for you. Should pilots be screened aboard planes the same way as passengers? Well there's one pilot who doesn't think so and last week he stood up for that belief but it did come with a price.

53:21 Evidently they saw my... This by the way is the pilot. It's the first bit of actual audio which I think is kind of cool. discomfort with the situation as a threat to air transportation security. Michael Roberts, a pilot for Houston-based Express Jet Airlines, was barred from passing through security at Memphis International Airport just last Friday after he refused a full body scan or a manual pat-down. Bottom line is I'm not especially comfortable with being frisked by a agent of the federal government every day on my way to work. Transportation Security Administration officials say pilots are not exempt from the same security screening procedures imposed on other airline travelers. And in regards to the body scan, TSA states the following.

54:12 Advanced imaging technology is optional for all passengers. Passengers who decline to be screened using advanced imaging technology will receive alternate screening to ensure the safety of the traveling public. So, a couple things here. One, the incessant use of advanced, advanced, advanced imaging technology. This is NLP right there. It's advanced, John. It's advanced. It's not going to hurt you. It's advanced. Don't worry. The science is in. It's all advanced. and then it's optional optional the optional indeed is not necessarily a pat down it should just be the metal detector anyone who refuses screening will be denied access to the secure area you see this as a violation of your privacy i guess absolutely absolutely privacy and liberty it should be noted that roberts did pass through a metal detector he was briefly detained so he passed through the metal detector he did it so

55:14 There you go, the guy was screened. While TSA officials and airport police interviewed him. He eventually left the airport peacefully, but has not flown since. I would just encourage everyone to make the little sacrifice now. before it requires much greater sacrifice down the road the way things are heading. Amen to that my brother. Now here's Al Roker so he of course did the voiceover, he read the script for the Ministry of Truth and now he gets to editorialize with his own little dickwad comments. What? I mean I'm sorry you know that's part of the gig, part of the job. Then drive a bus alright? Then drive a bus.

55:58 He went through the metal detector, but it was the issue of the scanning thing, which people have privacy issues with, and then I guess he didn't want the actual physical pat-down. I mean, I don't know where he... Too bad! Too bad! The rest of us do it. Too bad! Too bad! Slave! Shut up, slave! The rest of us do it! Too bad! Too bad! Too bad for you! Go drive a bus! By the way, pal, you don't have to wait in line like the rest of us, so stop whining. Stop whining, Slade! What a dork. Anyway. What a dork! I'm so funny, I'm out. Coming up in our next half hour, we get the reaction to this story from former FAA administrator. Right. Okay, you win today's show. No, no. Well, this was sent to us by one of our producers, but here now he has the former FAA administrator who actually admits

CHAPTER 13 / 29 Discussion

Al Roker and Mary Schiavo TSA Propaganda

The Weather Channel featured a segment with Al Roker and former FAA administrator Mary Schiavo discussing airport security. Schiavo claimed body scanners speed up the process while acknowledging they may penetrate skin tissue, suggesting children and pregnant women should opt for pat-downs instead. The hosts criticize the segment as government propaganda and warn of potential health risks from X-ray exposure.

al roker· mary schiavo· tsa· weather channel· x-ray radiation

56:44 That these things are dangerous in her comments. So she's gonna lie. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, so she's gonna lie about About it speeding up the process total. Oops. I think we just lost a connection here. Oh, we're back Yeah, so first he's gonna lie She's gonna lie and say oh, you know it speeds up the process And then she's actually going to say that these things can that they penetrate the skin tables Thanks, Courtney. We'll see you to begs. Yeah, I'm not Roker. I'm so incredibly cool. Oh Earlier we told you about a controversy over an express jet pilot who refused to get a body scan Pat down at the airport joining us now to discuss this issue and

57:25 the safety of USA travel is Mary Schiavo, former FAA administrator. Mary, good to see you. Good to see you. Stop, stop, stop. Yo, what's up? This is on the Weather Channel. Oh, dude, it's a total Ministry of Truth set up. Are you kidding me? Unbelievable. Oh yeah. Start it over. Start the woman over. Okay. Mary Skiavo, not Skiavo, it's weird to pronounce. The pilots hate her. She's ruined general aviation. ...this issue and the safety of US air travel is Mary Skiavo, former FAA administrator. Mary, good to see you again. Good to see you. Good to see you again. Good to see you again after we set everything up last night. We had a little tete-a-tete about how we're going to tell the slaves what's good for them.

58:09 What do you think? This pilot, should he have been turned away? Does Al Roker hang out with former administrators of the FAA regularly, do you think, John? Is it just... It was just way good to see you again, Mary. Good to see you again. ...for not going through the pat-down? Well, he should have been turned away for not going through any screening, either the body scan... Yeah, but he went through the metal detector. or the pat down. You have to do one or the other. No, you can do one of three. Could have refused the body scan and then had the pat down and that's open to anyone. If anyone was doesn't want to go through that scanner, they can ask for pat down. I mean, so you would agree that pilots should be held to at least the same level of security that the rest of us go through and some might argue should

58:47 should even have a higher level of security. Yeah, some would argue. Who's that some, Al? I didn't hear anyone argue that. Well, that's right. And this issue was addressed many times around 9-11-2001, including when there were reports that there were terrorists who had gotten pilot uniforms. And so the big push was resolved then to make everyone from the pilots to the people bringing in the drinks for the food bars go through security. I'll tell you, you know who walks through security just with it and it beeps and it goes off and there's no problem. They just walk through. Do you know who? observed this many times. TSA! The TSA jabronis walk right through. They're allowed, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep. They don't have to go through body scans. They go to the metal detector with their keys, their shoes, their belts, everything. Check those guys. Everything gets scanned. What's your feeling on the full body scans? Well, you know, I'm for it because it speeds along and certainly I go through it. Lie.

59:40 John have you ever seen this thing speed everything? No, there's actually documentation that it slows things down. Why? I always opt for it fast and I believe the safeguards are there to make sure nobody has pictures of your body. However... No safeguards are there, nobody has pictures of your body. The machines are designed to store them, we have documentation. There are recent reports that perhaps there is more x-ray exposure than they thought. It may actually penetrate some of the surface skin tissues so people who are pregnant, young children, parents can opt to send them around for a pad down and that's always available. Okay let me just process that. So there are recent reports that it can actually penetrate the skin, it can cause harm. So just have your kids touched by the nice TSA man. Just send your kids around they can touch him.

1:00:30 Yeah, they can feel them up and meanwhile of course everyone else is getting cataracts and their, you know when you go to the dental office and they have a focused x-ray that goes right through a tooth onto a little x-ray piece of film, they give you lead underwear. Yeah. They wrap, they drop a huge lead thing across your midsection because these x-rays are not safe. And now they're making everybody go through them. And so, and then the eyeball, of course, you're going to talk about cataracts, you're going to talk about cancers, you're going to talk about all kinds of things from these machines. And it's going to, it's going to, there's going to be a lawsuit at some point. It's going to cost the taxpayer billions of dollars possibly. And we should put a stop to this immediately. And it's unfortunate that the, that everyone buys in and they have,

1:01:18 assholes like Roker apparently they're just completely they have no they don't think for themselves at all they're just reading some party line I don't even and have to blame the lobbyists and the people that build these machines it's obviously if I was a company that made these machines I and I could find some way to get them put into use and bought by the millions of dollars. If you were a company that made these machines you would be a former Secretary of Defense. Because that's who owns the company that makes the L3 scanners. That's how you get, that's how lobbying works. Exactly. You would be a rich, rich man. We need to start a movement, John. The movement is, I want to be touched in my crotch by the TSA. I don't want, don't look at my picture, touch it. Come here big boy, touch it. Come on, you want it, touch it.

TSA Complaint Procedures and the Opt-Out Movement

The hosts provide contact information for Jennifer Carmichael at the TSA Office of Civil Rights and Liberties, urging listeners to file formal complaints when opting out of body scanners. They argue that a mass "opt-out" movement would create long lines and force the government and airlines to reconsider the invasive security protocols.

jennifer carmichael· tsa· civil rights· opt-out· airport security

1:02:03 That's the movement we need to start. Refuse the body scanners. Opt out, it's your constitutional and human right. Opt out, opt out, opt out. And say I'm opting out, I'm an opt-outer. Hi, I'm Adam Correa, I'm from the Opt Out Party. The Opt Out Party, we don't want to be, pictures taken of us naked. I want TSA to feel my third leg. The Opt Out Party says, opt out. So, by the way, you want to, the rule is that if you get put aside and they don't feel you up right away and some of these other things, make sure to get the badge number of the TSA person and then file a report with

1:02:47 with the TSA complaint, a complaint. And then you should probably carbon copy or CC your congressman or whoever else you can just broadcast it everywhere. Let me get some of the details on who to send this stuff to. The chat room is coming up with new slogans touch my package, bitch The chat room is what kind of T-shirts Touch it touch it. Don't scan me, bro Okay, here's the the TSA dot-gov the naked party What we do

1:03:26 I love you guys. Here's a couple of things you can send email to. This is terrible. Send email to, we'll put this in the show notes, to tsa.ocr-externalcompliance at dhs.gov. Yeah, I'll remember that. They always make it so handy and so easy. The person we want to deal with is Jennifer Carmichael. She's the director of the Transportation Security Administration Office of Civil Rights and Liberties. Touch me, Jennifer. It's my opt-out right. and that will put these in the show notes but essentially jennifer's the uh... one behind it all so i will put this in the show notes but please we have hundreds of thousands of people listening to us in the united states of europe in many countries it is already no longer an opt-out

1:04:15 You cannot opt out in Gitmo Nation Lowlands, you cannot opt out in Gitmo Nation East. It is not opt out, it is opt out in the United States. They keep telling us it is our right. Stop being stupid sheep. If you want to do anything, this is the smallest thing you can do. It's so small. Just to say I'm sorry I opt out. And by the way, don't let them get a rise out of you, so to speak. And by the way, they will ask you, and as part of the process, they're going to ask you why. Why? And you'll say because it gives you cataracts, the former FAA administrator said it is not safe, there are reports it is not safe, and besides that, it's my constitutional and human right not to have you look at me naked. You may feel me up. I give you permission to feel my cock with the back of your hand.

1:05:08 so uh... please opt out opt out you have to opt out i'm gonna be on this for a long time because the wouldn't maybe not a long time because of the the window of opportunity is very small right now we have to opt out and this'll be just like the french because the lines at the airport will become extremely long and and that the populist will people will have spoken it will be opt out and and date will not be able to deny we can with this is one that we can actually win i truly had to go to the airport a little earlier yeah the uh... you know the the fact of the matter is these uh... what if you stick a lot of the line with by opting out even though they should just run into the metal detector which i'd like think they'll end up doing uh... is the it did there people missing flights

1:05:53 uh... my wife when she was put aside and they wouldn't uh... bring somebody over to pat her down for a half hour and she still irked about that she goes within five minutes of missing her flight and apparently she had nobody sitting next to her but i booked that flight and that there were people on the map because virgin air gives you the opportunity to book the seat yourself and you can see who's sitting where there should have been somebody sitting there but they didn't get through the line And since the airlines are responsible for a lot of the security at the airport, if they start losing passengers and start screwing them up royally because people aren't showing up because they're stuck in security for an hour, then things will change because they'll bitch and moan about it.

1:06:38 There's a number of different things that will happen if we all start to opt out. It sends a message and, okay, it's not quite like shutting down the gas stations and get Monation Stinky Cheese where they've obviously got their shit together. It's not quite there yet, but at least you're not a stupid sheeple. Because you know the guy, I was reading the, it's basically a forum post that this express jet pilot posted and I'm reading through it and he said you know it's amazing I'm standing there just watching all these stupid people who all are allowed to opt out and they just go whatever, I'll just shut up and I'll just go through it, I'll do what I want to do. It's your right, take your right for once. It's a very small thing to do. You're not going to get arrested, you have the right.

1:07:25 You have the right. Get to the airport early. You have to be there three hours ahead of time anyway. Get there early and just slow down the line. And make your whole family say, I'm opting out. I'm opting out. And don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. Nothing can happen. But you have to opt out. The opt out party says you must opt out. So anyway, nobody's going to opt out. Don't say, don't be like that, John. I have a negative attitude. You think? This is what happens when you filter your water, and there's no fluoride in it you get like me I Filter my water here. No fluoride for me yay. Hey. Yeah, okay? We have a fluoride denier so but just before we were about halfway through the show and fluoride denier so There was like a brief moment earlier in the week where the Sun was kind of shining we actually I saw a double rainbow and

Hollywood Boulevard Recession Scam Anecdote

A host describes encountering a man on Hollywood Boulevard holding a sign claiming the recession is a "scam" orchestrated by the New World Order and political elites. The anecdote serves as a reflection on the current economic climate and the skepticism shared by some members of the public regarding government narratives.

NPR Firing of Juan Williams Over Fox News Comments

NPR terminated the contract of news analyst Juan Williams following comments he made on "The O'Reilly Factor" regarding his anxiety when seeing people in Muslim garb on airplanes. NPR's official statement cited his presence on Fox News as a long-standing issue. The hosts argue the firing is an example of "Ministry of Truth" tactics and political correctness.

juan williams· npr· fox news· bill o'reilly· political correctness

1:20:39 Devorak.org slash NA channel Devorak dot com slash NA and noagendashow.com You can help us out and we need your help. We want to thank everybody who donates $5 on a subscription basis $33, $33 and $30 on a subscription basis also is a number of $42 subscribers and they all we appreciate their help. Big time, big time. Now here's an interesting story just comes in from one of our producers just got it in the email I didn't know this happened it happened I guess two days ago but i have to have seen this show uh... i was watching the o'reilly factor and have a couple of clips of from it because it really seems to be going into propaganda mode for the government but one williams was on the show yes who is an npr uh...

1:21:25 I guess correspondent. Yeah, and he was on a ride. So just in there were talking about the joy Bayhar thing which is all O'Reilly's been talking about the entire last course. That's why that's why the whole thing happened if you needed more ratings and O'Reilly new on ratings Williams and just casually mentioned he's talking about, you know, the Muslims, you know, they bombed us on the 9-11 and And Juan says, you know, I don't think that the way you described it was accurate, but I have to be frank with you. Sometimes when I get on an airplane, there's a bunch of Muslims. I get a little concerned. Can I just say that that is I have the clip. Do you have the actual clip of him speaking? Because he said something else and it's words matter. Did you get it? OK, listen to the very beginning of what he says, because that puts his statement into context before we go into it.

1:22:08 The end result is NPR has fired him because he said this. The ministry of truth because he wasn't on message. But listen to what he says at the very beginning of his statement on O'Reilly. Look, political correctness can lead to some kind of paralysis where you don't address reality. So that is the key contextual statement. Political correctness Listen again. Political correctness can lead to some kind of paralysis where you don't address reality. I mean, look Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on a plane, I gotta tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they're identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous. Now, I don't

1:22:52 I remember also that when the Times Square bomber was at court, I think this is just last week, he said the war with Muslims, America's war with Muslims is just beginning, first drop of blood. I don't think there's any way to get away from these facts. So this is the thing that I found curious is that no one is mentioning that he contextualizes his statement by saying political correctness can create a social paralysis. No, they didn't. And sure the NPR people took the whole thing though and paid attention to it and said this guy's not for us. We can't go along with a guy who's normal. I mean, by the way, NPR which grabs nothing but money from people and this is the kind of, this is the way they're actually thinking. And not just people, from corporations, big corporations, big banks, big agriculture, all advertisers.

1:23:45 And, you know, if anybody out there listens to this show and listens to NPR and you give them money, don't give them money. They got plenty of money. And it's a propaganda operation. Obviously, they wouldn't have fired Juan Williams over some casual comment. You know what I think? I know what you're considering here. I believe that the real reason they fired him... It's because he's black. that would be great I believe is because he appears on Fox yeah now that's totally it actually I have their official statement here NPR has terminated the contract of longtime news analyst Juan Williams after remarks he made on the Fox News channel about Muslims that is their official statement right from the Ministry of Truth website known as NPR.org and then it goes into blah blah blah blah blah

1:24:39 Williams presence on the largely conservative and often contentious primetime talk shows of Fox News has long been a sore point with NPR news executives. It says it right there in their official statement. Oh, well that's good. At least they're honest. And he's black. It says it right there at the bottom. It says he's black too? No, it doesn't. But they've always been pissed about it. But meanwhile, I don't have a clip of it, but NPR has all kinds of programs like How to Speak T-Bagger and all kinds of stuff like that. Which is funny, by the way. But, you know, it's like, they're obviously shill. The whole organization is a mouthpiece. It's a ministry of truth. Yeah, it's pretty obvious. They're not going to give you the straight scoop on anything. They don't have a show called How to Speak T-Bagger.

Joy Behar, Bristol Palin, and Sarah Palin 1773 Gaffe

Joy Behar criticized Bristol Palin's continued presence on "Dancing with the Stars," leading to a discussion about the media's perceived bias against the Palin family. The hosts also defend Sarah Palin against mockery regarding her reference to "partying like it's 1773," noting that 1773 was the actual year of the Boston Tea Party, not a mistake for 1776.

joy behar· bristol palin· sarah palin· dancing with the stars· boston tea party

1:25:32 I'm going to defend Sarah Palin for a moment, which I always find fun. Before you do that, let's play a short clip. Okay. Just to show you the hate-filled ideologue, Joy Behar, who makes this crazy remark on her show. Just play the Joy Behar clip and let me ask the question afterwards. Hold on, I'll watch this show. Anyway, 76 year old Florence Henderson, she tangled off into the sunset yesterday. She was voted off. Now explain this to me. Why is Florence Henderson off, or one of you, and Bristol Palin who came out in the gorilla suit still there?

1:26:11 Okay, so so why does Bayhar who's doing this this quasi political slash entertainment show have such a deep hatred of the Palins and particularly in this case Bristol that she brings up she brings up this value judgment that 76 year old Florence Henderson who was on the show as a dancer you know by the way it's like it's almost like she has Parkinson's. She can barely walk. It's sad, it's really sad. They're taking advantage of the poor woman. Yeah, who's a sweet person. But meanwhile, according to Behar, she should have been kept on the show, I guess to be ridiculed further, as opposed to Palin, who is obviously on the show. Here's what bothers me about these kinds of comments.

1:26:58 Behar has to know, by the way Behar is really old, she's almost 70 herself, which I think is why she was defending Henderson. Bayhar has to know that these shows are rigged. They have the little disclaimer at the end of the show. John, you're blowing, you're bursting my bubble. It's rigged? At the end of the show they even say it's rigged. They say that the judges have one thing to do with it, the people call and have something else, but the producers have the final say on the results. Of course. Because they want ratings and so they'll rig the show as rigged. Jennifer Grey an actual dancer on the show like who do you think is gonna win and it was well, but she's 50 She looks amazing. Her body is so great. This is the whole show is meant to rope in female viewers and

1:27:43 and they use every every single trick in the book and and and Jennifer Grey of course she's gonna win she's a dancer ever see the movie Dirty Dancing I mean come on she's a great dancer she's been training her ass off of course she's gonna win duh and yeah they use every dirty trick including Marie Osmond passing out yeah anything we can use so I think what's going on here Excuse me, I think what's going on is there is an intense hatred that is also being manufactured against beautiful women. And you can agree or disagree, Sarah Palin is kind of hot looking. She's got that kind of, you know, wanton librarian look. I've always liked it. I don't want her as president. I would not vote for her. I did read her book. I've got nothing against the woman. She's a pretty eloquent speaker, you know, compared to a lot of these jabronis we've got on the hill.

1:28:38 But the, but the, you just say, Sarah Palin to anybody, the political correct thing to do is go, ahhh. Roll your eyes and go, oh god, not that woman. And it dumbfounds me. I sometimes I do it just to piss people off. just said just sometimes yeah just throw in Sarah Palin you know Sarah Palin's she's kind of nice you know are you crazy you got that and really intelligent people who just have you ever listened to what she has to say so she does a speech and this is just to show you how it works how and we're all slaves

1:29:16 And by the way, the Tea Party Express is all a big hijack. I don't believe in any of this crap. It's a total hijack. It's total crap. And John, you predicted she was going to become the leader of the Tea Party. It's a total hijack. But here's what she said in a speech, and then you need to go look at the hashtag 1773 on Twitter. Here's the speech. Listen caution though. Let me caution you a little bit of a come to Jesus meeting time right now caution that in this battle before November 2nd We've got Victor in the bag yet. Okay, we can't let up. We can't get cocky about this. No dances

I mean, the Twitter is filled with it. Whereas if anyone actually just went to Wikipedia and said what happened in 1773 that is actually the date where the the laws for the Boston, for the tea imports were passed and this is what started the Boston Tea Party. This is why the reference to 1773 is in. But everyone is so on board with hating, as hate, real hate for Sarah Palin. Yeah, well it's the same thing with Behar and her, who hates Sarah Palin and it's taking out on Bristol. Exactly! It's like unbelievable and this is, just check yourself.

1:30:58 Okay, check yourself when you're doing this and everyone's just try it just say to someone hey Sarah Palin is kind of interesting. Oh my god Hey, it's true exactly and that's what it sounds like yeah, and why don't you go through the body scanner while you're at it, okay? Okay, just go ahead. Just walk on through there. That's fine. Hey, John, there's one thing we cannot, we cannot forget because this news came out just the beginning of the week and already, we're already tweeting about Sarah Palin's gaffe missing 1776 by three years. Very important news from sources who say maybe,

CNN Report on Osama bin Laden's Location in Pakistan

A CNN report featuring a "senior NATO official" claims Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri are living in northwest Pakistan near the Chinese border. The hosts mock the speculative nature of the report and suggest it is a Pentagon-authored narrative designed to shift military focus from Afghanistan to Pakistan.

Oh my god Hey, it's true exactly and that's what it sounds like yeah, and why don't you go through the body scanner while you're at it, okay? Okay, just go ahead. Just walk on through there. That's fine. Hey, John, there's one thing we cannot, we cannot forget because this news came out just the beginning of the week and already, we're already tweeting about Sarah Palin's gaffe missing 1776 by three years. Very important news from sources who say maybe,

1:31:40 But it could be true the most news in the morning most news in the morning everybody's got to be CNN in the morning I did speak to a very senior NATO official with first-hand knowledge of the latest Information the latest first-hand knowledge of the latest of the info of the latest of the end we got let me read the script We've got the information assessment that the Alliance has and he says look He says look look look look just look shut up slave look information the latest assessment that the alliance has and he says look look Osama bin Laden dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri number two he's number two

1:32:21 He needs a foam hand that says I'm number two We need more foam fingers foam fingers. I'm number two. It can't even pronounce the guy's name. I saw my lap I back I like a la Javi He's number two just so you know in case you forget in case you missed the name because I'm Salomon bin Laden has been programmed into your brain number two They're not living in a cave anywhere. They're not living in the cave in case you thought he was living in the cave. Uh-uh feeling here is that both of them are the feeling john the feeling of the feeling here that both of them are across the border in northwest pakistan that they are not far apart from each other they're not together that would be a secret their lovers is number one and then that's together that'd be a security breach is what you're gonna say they're in the different trailer parks of course security risk for them but security risk for them they may not have drifted too far apart

1:33:10 uh... he says ask me to draw a circle of a like a synchronized dance skating they've been drifted too far apart from each other's like that's that's a violation security violation on a map and here's what i tell you that osama bin laden may at some point have ranged as far as a very north in the federal territory the tribal area of the tribal area john it's the tribal area I think we should go send some drones in there because there's nothing but hostile tribes in the tribal area. Pakistan up near the Chinese border but... Hear that? Near the Chinese border. That's why Pakistan is so important to us. Pakistan up near the Chinese border but there's a good bet, if you will, that he's in a place called the Karam Valley. A good bet, if you will.

1:33:58 What kind of reporting is this? A good bet if you will. This is like the worst reporting ever. A good bet if you will. Just a bunch of speculation. Why do they call this speculation hour? A good, a good a good bet if you will do that i think he's all of these things in northern uh... tribal area tribal area around actually it's right near to whatever it is it's always near to our borough because it sounds like everything is i was looking for a board of the current valley rugged most square miles of very rugged territory inhabited by very fierce tribal elements and of course- Fierce tribal elements. Elements. Hello, this is element number one. Element number two, how are you doing in your fierce tribal area? How are you? Well I'm here in my fierce tribal-

1:34:43 Anyways, this is number two. I'm in the first tribal area. It's a square miles of nothing but fierce tribal areas. What's so interesting is the Karam Valley is right across the border from Tora Bora. It's so interesting. Fascinating. It's right across the border from Tora Bora. Where Osama bin Laden fled Afghanistan back in 2001. carol john all right but then she but of course uh... the script goes on because you know it's like these this info babe she can't just like say thanks for that uh... uh... report so the g did you actually talk to anyone no she has her own script to read so if we do find capture or kill bin laden what is the feeling there in afghanistan among military leaders how big of an impact will actually make in the fight against al qaeda so let me see uh... we're there to find bin laden

1:35:32 But if we find, capture or kill... Will anyone give a crap? Will anyone give a crap? I like that. Will anyone give a crap? Well, you know, when you're here in Afghanistan, nobody even really talks about Bin Laden unless you ask someone what the latest information is. Hey! Hey, brother! can you drop a dime on bin laden? I need to ask you some information. Why would they be yakking about bin laden all day? She says, well when you're here in Pakistan nobody's talking about bin laden. Of course they're not. No, no she's in Afghanistan. Oh Afghanistan, sorry. But either one, I mean who's going to be chatting about, hey did you see what the latest about Osama? Hey did you read the paper? There was something about Osama in Torah Bora. Now listen because this is the message. Here comes the message. The message is

1:36:18 Oh Afghanistan is all wrong. We need to get out of here. We need to go kick Pakistan's ass. That's what this is about. Listen. Here there is a feeling that... A feeling? Because I have a feeling-o-meter. Another feeling? There's a lot of feelings going on in this report. I know how to get my feelings right. Right now the equation is this. They have to step up military attacks, which the alliance, led by the US, has been doing. More airstrikes, more ground attacks, pressure the Taliban and the insurgents to come to the negotiating table, the peace table, with the Afghan government. That that is the only way to resolve this, and that they have to step up

1:36:57 the ability of the Afghan government to deal with this problem in this country. There is declining support in many NATO capitals, in the United States amongst the citizens for the war, a lot of weary people nine years in. They have to get the Afghan government to take charge here. That's going to be the way US and NATO troops can finally go home. Okay, so what I'm reading into this message, which clearly is not a report, it is written by the Pentagon, And it's interpreted by Ditz's, who, by the way, she looks pretty official there in Afghanistan. Barbara, whatever her name is, Barbara Schill. My interpretation is the message is going to be Bin Laden is now in Pakistan. We have to focus on Pakistan. By the way, we won't actually leave Afghanistan because, you know, there's lithium in them hills and we need us some lithium. We need all kinds of... Yes, for the poppies. Oh, my goodness.

CHAPTER 22 / 29 Discussion

Pennsylvania Mother Loses Baby Over Poppy Seed Bagel

Elizabeth Mort had her newborn baby seized by Pennsylvania Child Protective Services after testing positive for opiates. The positive result was later attributed to a poppy seed bagel she had eaten prior to giving birth. The baby was returned after five days, but the hosts highlight the incident as an example of overreaching state intervention and flawed hospital testing policies.

elizabeth mort· pennsylvania· child protective services· poppy seeds· drug testing

1:44:09 Get us some kids. Can we like get us some babies? Some babies for me, you know, we can like sacrifice some babies. Yeah, can we get us some babies John? Can we do this? Can we get us some babies? I think we can get us some babies. Here's how Here's a story that will likely outrage a lot of moms Elizabeth Mort gave birth to a beautiful baby girl But a day later Child Services and police in Pennsylvania came to her home and took her baby from her John I figured out a way to get us some babies stand by it's a brilliant plan all because of a bagel Liz Morton says she never saw it coming. I was shocked. I was at a loss of words. I I just just

1:44:48 started crying and crying. Child Protective Services in Pennsylvania was at her doorstep taking her one day old baby because they thought Liz was abusing drugs. Someone was saying that oh we're CYS and we found something in your system and at that time I never even heard of it before. And they said we have to take custody of your child and I was like what are you talking about? Jamison Hospital in Newcastle test mothers of newborns for drugs. State law allows it. But what the hospital didn't consider more closely was poppy seeds. Yeah, I heard this story when I forgot that I was I would have clipped it to this story was a from I guess about a week ago. It's a disgusting story. Is by the way, is that the same voice?

1:45:34 That's on the Utah story? Is that the same? It sounds like the exact same person. Let me listen to the Utah. Utah, Sandy Police say all jurisdictional boundaries are... Let me now hear her. Opium... Wait, I mean... It sounds like the same woman. Hold on. So this is the Utah woman's report. ...or fight at all. Okay, and here's the other report. State law allows it, but what... Is that the same woman? No, it's a little... It's a little... A little different. ...a little ballsier. So anyway, she says she ate a bagel with poppies. And that's why she... So first of all, what are they doing testing pregnant women for heroin? I don't know. To take the babies! Yeah, apparently. Yeah. Because there's a law that if you... I don't know about the poppy seed excuse, but it's probably... Poppy seeds, the poppies you buy commercially to make poppy seed cake and seed cake and the rest of it are opium poppy seeds. Yeah.

1:46:28 A lot of people don't realize that. In fact, in the olden days before they irradiated these things, you used to be able to buy a box and throw them in your backyard, you'd have a bunch of poppies. Yeah, because poppies grow. It's great stuff. Anyway, so let's just finish up this story. I'll fast forward so you can find out what happened after they took her child away. I just cry half the time. So far, no lawsuit has been filed. The ACLU says it's trying to figure out the next step. Liz did get her baby back, but it took five five days for the hospital and child protective services to determine that she was a fit. Ah, crap. Hey, we got a refunder. The worst part about that is that mom should be with the baby for those first five days for the various psychological... And who knows, they've plugged the kid full of RFID dust, who knows what they did. We got a... ah, shit, John, we got to refund this kid. We got a refunder. We got to bring this one back. Just when we thought we had one.

Bill O'Reilly and John Stossel Marijuana Debate

Bill O'Reilly and John Stossel debated California's Proposition 19, which sought to legalize marijuana. O'Reilly argued that marijuana is as addictive as tobacco and poses a threat to children, while Stossel advocated for adult freedom and personal responsibility. The hosts criticize O'Reilly's "Federalist" stance and his dismissal of successful decriminalization models like the one in Portugal.

bill o'reilly· john stossel· proposition 19· marijuana legalization· california

1:47:23 Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy. And you're right, John. If you're like, uh, Kareem Dvorak, bunch of idiots. but here you go this is this is it it's happening everywhere get people off of alcohol and get them on the heroin and don't forget we also have to get keep the marijuana initiative from passing yes so the best way to do that is just to say it's not going to pass and keep people from voting now the propaganda uh... started to spew from the o'reilly show about this and if you take you just within one show he actually hit the topic twice uh... at with not just a short clips and he went on and on and on about pot never was stoned and i can vote is a student so let me play a couple clips from o'reilly's in this regard part one is him talking to rasmussen the pollster which is pretty much a right wing poll organization he's not a particularly he's not one of the more accurate pollsters and he's not as bad as odd to be whatever

1:48:28 All right, ready to hit it now. Do you believe that the marijuana initiative on the ballot is gonna take more liberal people out to vote? Is that gonna be a factor in in the race? I don't think it's going to be a huge fact. No, really? I really don't first of all the numbers show it's very close on the election. I think it'll be voted down I don't think their legalization marijuana is gonna and you're right I would agree with you on that because most people who are undecided vote against these initiatives right and yeah, you you gotta take into fact that a lot of people who want legalization of marijuana will be so stoned they won't be able to get out to the poll. Yeah, and that plus the fact that you know what- Have you been to Humboldt County? I mean, whoa. And while it's not legal by the way, they're still smoking away, so it's fine. Alright, Brown and Whitman, Brown is widening his lead over Whitman, right?

1:49:10 Okay, so he did so that's that so he makes it clear that you know and this is kind of the message to his listeners You know don't you know this should be voted down, but he didn't make it strong enough so later in the show like a lot later He has John Stossel on who's the libertarian at Fox who's kind of has a marginal show that nobody watches on Saturday on saturday was actually on thursday night now but it's still you know it's not nobody watches is not promoted and it's you know in the stars is kind of like is talk of the token libertarian on fox is a token true libertarian is is this guy and he did want to send himself he won't defend the pot thingy because he can speak up against o'reilly o'reilly really rules the roost beck has the best numbers i think and but o'reilly runs the show and he's that these the top dog and he says

1:49:57 So he has to revisit the topic. So here we go. This is number two? Yeah. You want pot and it's going to lose in California. You say Rasmussen and I are two brilliant men. You say? Yeah. But I think- You want to make a little bet on it? This is what we're doing wrong, John. We have to say we're brilliant. Hey, we're two brilliant men here. We're two brilliant. We're brilliant. We're brilliant guys. Sure, ten bucks. Ten bucks. Here he is. Ten thousand dollars to a charity of the other person's choice. Now you're talking. Okay. I say Prop 19, legalization of marijuana, gets voted down in California. You, who wants it,

1:50:34 You're not a pothead are you? I refuse to talk about my personal behavior. Okay, but the reason I'm against it is because of the children. I mean I just I know it's an addictive substance like tobacco Marijuana is whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa? I know it's an addictive substance just like tobacco No. That's what he said. No. He knows it by the way because he's brilliant. Not true. Just not true. It's not true. No, it's an out and out lie. I mean, I kicked a 10 year, 20 hour a day marijuana habit. I'd get up in the middle of night, take a hit. I kicked it in one day cold turkey. I'm still smoking tobacco. Addictive substance like tobacco. Marijuana is exactly as addictive as tobacco and if you smoke it all the time, you get into serious troubles. Yeah, I'm in serious trouble. I have no job. I'm standing on the corner of Hollywood and Highland.

1:51:26 holding a sign. I'm in serious trouble because I smoked it all the time. People shouldn't do that. People shouldn't get into serious trouble. But making it illegal is a war on our own people. A war on our own? What does that mean? It means the police are breaking people's door down. It means adults are not allowed to make their own decisions about what they want. But you want heroin and cocaine legalized. See, that's how crazy you are. I think the honest intellectual argument is to say if you're an adult, you should be free to do what you want to your own body and the burden of proof ought to be on the government before they take that freedom away. I tell you what, if those people were not allowed to go outside I would agree with you but as soon as they go outside it gets up to a public safety issue. Hey well we have a solution! Get everybody a scram bracelet and you can do whatever you want in your house and if you stray from your prison, from your cell, then we go pick you up and kill you.

1:52:21 This is a solution right there that O'Reilly doesn't see. This is amazing. Well people drink and go outside. But you saw what happened in San Francisco when they did all these medical marijuana things that the dope, the hard users took the marijuana and sold it to the kids. I mean that's what's going to happen if you have legalization of marijuana. dealers because it's illegal. No, that's not true. You don't have wine dealers and beer dealers. Even if you legalize pot in California, nobody under 18 is going to be able to buy it legally, so they're going to be buying it and selling it to the kids. That's what they're going to be doing. But it'll be easier to police just the way selling beer to kids is easier. No, it's not. It's not. It's going to lead to more problems among children. All right, Stossel, $10,000.

1:52:57 bucks on Prop 19, right? So what Stossel should have done, but of course he doesn't, is just say look at Portugal. Portugal where they decriminalized all drugs ten years ago including hard drugs and it's like everyone's great, no problem, we're all getting high indoors, all the numbers go down, it's beautiful, it's a beautiful thing and no one, what is Stossel that he's not bringing that up? He's another shill, he's another douchebag. this is the last night i think i should be ashamed of the self-proclaimed lying about the topic and also promoting more government innovation in the intervention in our personal lives which is such as what we're talking about here and also it's it's it's the tenth amendment that's what's really is going to boil down to the fact that the state is there is a federal law against marijuana which was put in play in the late thirties said to protect the uh... paper industry i if you really want to do yes of course it was uh...

1:53:49 this body camp or anything but anyway the point is is that it's a it's a federal law in the state law once the trump it is going to create a tenth amendment issue and and everybody who is a federalist and i'll put o'reilly in that camp who wants actually does want big government interfering with our lives it's a big government guy big pro bush supporter during that era if anybody wants to look back on all the riley shows during the eight years of george big government bush and see what he had to say about things. It's obvious he's a shill for the Federalists. O'Reilly can't be trusted. No. Well, I don't trust any of them. Let me give you a statistic that might put everything into perspective here. 2009 US sales, all US sales of recorded music. So this includes iTunes, CDs, everything recorded. This is from the IFPI.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Jabroni Reference

The TV show "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" featured the word "jabroni" multiple times in a recent episode, leading the hosts to speculate that the show's writers may be listeners of No Agenda. The episode also included a segment parodying podcasts with sound effects, which the hosts find suspiciously similar to their own format.

it's always sunny in philadelphia· jabroni· charlie day· rob mcelhenney· podcasting

1:55:43 About all the the add-on. I'll tell you the 4.6 billion dollars in the music industry sure employs a lot more people Yeah And it's entertaining. I don't get anything from Lipitor. You know they're doing all these uh I want to play that that's not even let me let me do let me undepress you this will be something funny Or do you want to do the you got another Roddy clip? We'll do that. I got a couple of the other Let me do an interlude. Let me do a little interlude just to brighten your day. Okay little interlude There's this television show called It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Right. You've heard about this, right? I've tried to watch it. Okay. So, episode six, and I got tons of email about this. When was the first time you ever heard the word jabroni, John? You said it. And did you, had you even heard of that word?

1:56:39 I think so, but I can't be sure. But we actually had to figure out where it came from. My sister in Italy couldn't verify it. You know, I said it means like douchebag. It's like American Italian. I grew up with this word. But you've never heard it in popular culture before except maybe for wrestling. But in that case, it's someone who throws a professional wrestling match. So that's where we have heard the use of the word jabroni. And then all of a sudden this TV show in episode 6 of the current series I don't know how far ahead they are in producing but once you get past your like four episodes that are in the can because you can always get cancelled it's like three you have to have like three episodes in the can because that's a guaranteed that the guarantee the network will give you and then after that if you get picked up to continue for the season

1:57:30 If your ratings are good enough, then you start producing more. So I would say that this might have coincided with our discussion about the word jabroni. Listen to a couple clips from the show. What you're gonna want to do is just gently, gently sort of guide the puck at the net like, you know, like a tiny bowl of cream you don't want to spill and you're guiding it. I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna go out there and take a wicked slap shot, you know. Really make a name for myself. Otherwise I go out there and look like a jabroni. So, that is not the wrestling use of the word, that is the no agenda use of the word jabroni. And it didn't stop there. You can't take a slap shot before you even know how to handle a stick and a puck, so we just glide one just to get the form and then we'll get bigger and bigger and eventually slap shots. But it starts with gliding like cream. Go! Gliding like a jabroni is what I'm gonna be doing. Jabroni. Okay, go. And it just keeps on going. You can't be out here swinging hockey sticks. You're not even supposed to be out here without skates. Get out! Out! Okay! We're leaving. You know what, Charlie?

1:58:32 I think he's right, dude. Only a couple jabronis come out here without skates on. I gotta do this thing in skates, man. You know, work up a routine, really jazz the crowd. Yeah, can I stop you though? You keep using this word jabroni and it's awesome. It's like the coolest word. Is that like a hockey thing? Yeah, no, I don't know. I think it's some Dago word. So then they actually, in this episode, they do a podcast where they're talking about like, like, uh, No agenda topics with sound effects in the show and then they meet the real broadcasters

1:59:15 So I just decided it was that I heard that little future of radio future radio. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah because This is positive proof in your mind that somebody on this she's one of the writers probably is listening to the show I can't say it's positive proof, but I have a feeling the guy give us a note saying hello This is what always pisses me off. It's like but come on already. I Anyway, it'd be cool if it was like that and and they should do a crackpot and buzzkill shit on the show Yeah, right. Give us some real promotion you jabronis. Yeah, that's the thing They just steal our material and that's the end of it. Yeah do something for us Come on help Help a brother out. Yeah, you poor org slash na to the writers of the sunny in Philadelphia show. Yeah No

2:00:06 You know I've tried to watch it a couple times. It's got a cable pacing that I'm always having trouble with. There's only a few shows that they produce specifically for cable that I can actually... It's like I wanted to watch Nikita. You know, I couldn't take it. It was just that the pacing and then the commercials are always weird because people watch cable. The reason why is they should have chosen Mickey for that role in Nikita and they chose some stupid woman. They chose the wrong one. She was up for that. She would have been great. She was up for it. She would have been great. And they chose the wrong woman. The wrong actor. Whatever. I didn't still, it's the pace. I'd probably still have trouble watching it. So, hey, thanks brother. I'd watch her man. Just make me some clips.

Domestic Terrorism Themes in NCIS and Law & Order

Recent episodes of "NCIS" and "Law & Order: Los Angeles" have focused on domestic terror cells and "American Jihadis." The hosts describe these plotlines as part of a broader government propaganda effort to condition the public to fear internal threats. They specifically highlight a Law & Order teaser involving a terror plot against LAX and the Staples Center.

ncis· law and order la· domestic terrorism· jihadi· propaganda

2:00:46 I got maybe one we're almost done, but I got do I have anything here that yeah? There's one thing I want to mention because there's gonna might get dated, but I was a little shocked and I think the the mean machine the government propaganda machine is really going into full gear for domestic terrorists Oh cyberterrorism perhaps No, just regular domestic bombers. Wow, okay. The cyber-terrorist thing is going on. That's going on too. I didn't document too much of that. I'll talk about that in a second. I got some of that. I documented two incidents with major shows. Major. The number one show in the country is NCIS and this last week's episode was a bunch... with no explanation, no motive, no rationale. It was a week-week story with no plot points that were worth a crap.

2:01:38 but it was about it was obviously they didn't have their heart in the shirt into it but it was about domestic terrorists a whole group of them in some little community and they were all rich people and they were they had a grudge against the government and they were all Republicans with guns there exactly Republicans with guns are gonna blow up a little league field filled with girls who were famed you were the daughters of famous judges and generals. Blow them bitches up! and so uh... clip from that i don't see a clear i didn't get a clear from that but it may because i didn't think much of it so what's the one shot like to see this anymore i i think they did you gotta give up on this domestic terrorist thing then i heard the teaser for l a law and order which is this is a story about to met domestic jihadis american jihadis who wear you know the burkas in the masks in the whole thing and he did did this is the teaser which kind of just bruh this summarizes the show

2:02:33 Next, a case that looks open and shut. But the deeper they look... They killed two little kids. Tragedy turns to conspiracy. An all-American jihadi terror cell. With enough explosives to take down the Staples Center. Police! The defendants spotted an attack on LAX. To kill thousands of people. He was just using me. The message is coming! But that's just the warm-up. I have no choice but to surrender the defendants. New Law & Order Los Angeles, next on NBC. That a beauty to who's ever doing the teasers by the way I'm somebody out there must know whoever's doing the teasers for Law & Order Los Angeles is the best. Yeah do a teaser for us man we need your work. We love your work. I mean this guy is good. We love your work. I love his stuff. I don't even watch the show anymore. So as soon as I see the teaser I got it. I forgot to ask you if you were ready for 10 21 10 21

Great California ShakeOut and Baja Earthquake

The "Great California ShakeOut" drill coincided with a real 6.6 magnitude earthquake in Baja, California. The hosts critique the official "drop, cover, and hold on" advice provided by organizations like the Red Cross and USGS, arguing that such measures are often ineffective during major seismic events.

great california shakeout· earthquake· baja· usgs· emergency management

2:03:29 Because this is amazing.

You can see it all at shakeout org. What just happened We just had a six point six quake in Baja and California yeah, you feel it.

The desk will crush the two of them when the ceiling caves in. But anyway, that's beside the point. And the fact is, is we have a good shaker. You can't, usually a real good one that would kill you like that, knocks you on your ass immediately. You're knocked down. You gotta drop cover and hold on! There's nothing to drop, you will drop because the earthquake will knock you down. And then you gotta cover and hold on, slave! Hey, play the beat the quake.

Pentagon Cyber Attack Defense and Posse Comitatus

The Obama administration announced that the Pentagon will assist the Department of Homeland Security in defending against domestic cyber attacks. The hosts argue this move bypasses Posse Comitatus restrictions and represents a first step toward deploying military resources for domestic law enforcement under the guise of "cyber warfare."

2:06:35 pentagon will help homeland security department fight domestic cyber attacks and uh... essentially the obama administration is saying hey you know uh... what is the uh... what is the rule again john that the uh... the american it's a constitutional law i think the american army is not allowed to turn on its own people was a colleague here you can do it just in the constitution and you can what is it's called is that the name for the as a word for it as a word for it like uh... what was it uh... Come on help me out now. I'm just like part of the posse comatose. That's it posse comatose But not when it comes to cyber no no no no when it comes to cyber now then then of course The Pentagon is all over it because of course you know we're gonna all get killed because the the the

2:07:25 The Stuxnet creators are all going to shut down everything. Planes will come falling out of the sky. Reporting that literally now in the United Kingdom. That terrorists, cyber terrorists can make planes fall out of the sky at any minute they want to. Through email by the way. It's amazing how they do that. Through hacking emails. So essentially, posse commentatis does not count when it comes to cyber. Then also this is the first step towards putting the troops on the streets like hey listen we do it for cyber warfare We should be able to do it for regular warfare go into your homes wait until your bracelet is scanned everything will be fine

2:08:05 Read this, it's interesting, it's in the show notes. I will, by the way, I just got a note from somebody on Twitter and there is a learn to speak tea bag thing that NPR is promoting. I know there is. That's disgusting. I don't make this stuff up. I mean, I like Fiore's material, the guy's quite funny, the cartoonist, but why is NPR promoting this misusage which is a sexual innuendo that is unacceptable? NPR, the nation's treasure. Treasure! Why don't we have a jingle for that somewhere? I used to have it so Are we done because I do have one if you're gonna go in this direction I've got least have a kind of a backup clip. Okay You got a backup clip, huh? Let me just before we before you do that I think we should just mention That someone shot up the Pentagon you did hear about that. I presume no I didn't when was this they shot?

Pentagon Shooting Incident and Security Footage

Gunshots were fired at the Pentagon early in the morning, striking two exterior windows on the third and fourth floors. No injuries were reported as the targeted offices were unoccupied due to renovations. The hosts question the official report and mock the mention of security camera footage, referencing long-standing skepticism regarding 9/11 Pentagon footage.

2:09:06 You didn't hear about this? The Pentagon? That's impossible. No, not at all. Today at approximately 4.55 a.m., five to seven gunshots were reported by Pentagon police officers in the vicinity of the Pentagon South parking lot. Pentagon police immediately shut down the reservation and closed all access to South parking as well as all entrances to the Pentagon itself. Pentagon police, Virginia State Police, and Arlington County Police conducted sweeps of the area with no initial findings. The reservation was declared safe and reopened at 5.40 a.m. At 6.20 a.m. this morning, an interior search of the building conducted by officers and investigators discovered

2:09:54 two exterior windows that had been impacted by gunshots. As we know right now, and the information is still preliminary, a window on the third floor and a window on the fourth floor were hit by gunfire. So you've got to be pretty close to be a... Shooting through windows at the Pentagon. I think the Civil War has started John I think it's just some guy shooting around and then you know because they cube two holes to win. I don't know it was like five or seven We believe that There may have been other bullet strikes on a building as well. Mm-hmm, but we are in the process right now of doing that crime scene search Crime scene search currently those offices are unoccupied and

2:10:41 You know how convenient. They are in the process of being renovated so no employees were working there. We've discovered two two bullet fragments in each of the windows, one on the third floor and one on the fourth floor. There may be others but that's still ongoing. There were other witnesses besides the one officer who heard the gunshots. Construction, there was a couple of construction workers as well. We're interviewing all those to try to find out, you know, exactly what went down and how it went down. And we were reviewing those videotapes from our cameras. No! Wait! They were reviewing the videotapes? You mean they've got security cameras that actually have videotapes at the Pentagon? They must have one for the jet that ran into the Pentagon then. Amazing, huh? Always brings it back. Okay. I gotcha. So I think we're done. I can do this other stuff later. It's kind of interesting, but it's not that interesting. We'll never get back to it. I know. I always move these clips to the next week. So there's a lot of stuff that we left on the table.
