About this episode

President Barack Obama faces intense criticism from Ralph Nader and constitutional scholars for initiating military action in Libya without a congressional mandate. The intervention, dubbed Operation Odyssey Dawn, has sparked a media frenzy as cable news anchors like Rachel Maddow and Bill O'Reilly are accused of war-mongering giddiness. This shift in executive power is contrasted with 2007 footage of then-Senator Joe Biden threatening to impeach George W. Bush if he attacked Iran without authorization.

Leaked diplomatic cables reveal Senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman previously praised Muammar Gaddafi as a counter-terrorism ally, a sharp pivot from their current demands for his removal. On the ground, NBC’s Richard Engel reports on the lack of military discipline among Libyan rebels led by Mahmoud Jibril, while George Galloway denounces the Arab League for ignoring crackdowns in Bahrain and Yemen. Meanwhile, the NSA’s surveillance capabilities at AT&T’s Folsom Street facility are expected to expand following the T-Mobile merger announcement, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s helicopter suffered a mysterious dual-engine failure after she withdrew support for the Libya mission.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak break down the scripted nature of global news, comparing the media's theatrical performance to the marketing genius of WWE champion The Miz. The duo explores the occult numerology of the March 19th start date and mocks the high-tech secure communication tent used by the President in Brazil. From TSA refusals at Schiphol Airport to the pharmaceutical ad wars between Allegra and Zyrtec, the episode deconstructs the propaganda underlying the week's biggest headlines.

Joe Biden 2007 Impeachment Warning Regarding Iran

A 2007 clip of then-Senator Joe Biden surfaces in which he warns that he would lead an effort to impeach President George W. Bush if he took the nation to war against Iran without a constitutional mandate. The hosts contrast Biden's historical stance on executive war powers with the current military actions taken by the Obama administration in Libya.

Leaked diplomatic cables and archived tweets reveal that Senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman previously praised Muammar Gaddafi as an important ally in the war on terrorism. The hosts highlight the hypocrisy of these senators now labeling Gaddafi's actions a holocaust and demanding military intervention.

Ralph Nader Criticizes Obama for War Crimes

Ralph Nader argues that President Barack Obama is committing the same war crimes as George W. Bush and Dick Cheney by continuing unconstitutional wars in Asia and slaughtering innocents. Nader calls for the rule of law and the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and Iraq, noting that the majority of soldiers view the conflicts as quagmires.

ralph nader· barack obama· war crimes· afghanistan· iraq

07:43 I got a bunch of clips i'm gonna have to bore you with so you might as well begin the bore fest. As veterans for peace which start with World War II veterans all the way to the present Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are making a powerful statement for the rule of law, for advocating peace, for getting out of Afghanistan and Iraq if you took a poll of soldiers in Afghanistan as a poll was taken in Iraq in January 2005 the majority would say let's get out here It's a quagmire. All we're doing is creating new enemies, slaughtering innocents, spending huge amounts of money that can be spent back home to create jobs and violating our constitutional processes You know let's be very forthright Juan George W Bush and Cheney committed war crimes They had surveillance of Americans

08:34 illegally. They unconstitutionally pursued wars in Asia, they slaughtered innocents uh... and they were considered war criminals by many people including a republican that former judge andrew napolitano author of four books on the constitution and republican bruce fine now uh... brock obama is committing the same crimes yeah i thought for swans in afghanistan day and innocence are being slaughtered recruiting more enemies so i you know i received at least I'm gonna say 20, it may have been more but conservatively 20 emails from people who after listening to the last NO Agenda show 288 said you know

09:15 I voted for George W. Obama and i'm so happy that I listened to the No Agenda show because it really opens up my eyes and you know, the unfortunate thing about all of these emails is exactly what you said was like What was I supposed to do? Was I supposed to vote for the other guy? Like yeah we don't have just two parties in this country You could vote for people like Ron Paul and uh... it's very important that people understand that there every single other world war was supposed to do with the record vote for mccain at that point you said you should be exact same thing i thought that would add more a split however there is very good news john there's good news for the two thousand twelve elections

CHAPTER 05 / 45 Discussion

Michele Bachmann 2012 Presidential Run Speculation

The hosts discuss the potential 2012 presidential run of Michele Bachmann, comparing her political persona to Sarah Palin. They suggest the Republican party is looking for a new "hottie" for the race as Palin's popularity wanes, likening the political spectacle to reality television.

John C. Dvorak describes a leak in his window caused by a severe storm in Northern Silicon Valley. He complains about paying extra sewage and drainage charges on his utility bill due to the increased rainfall, characterizing the charges as a government scam.

CHAPTER 07 / 45 Discussion

Media Personalities and War Mongering Giddiness

The hosts criticize cable news anchors including Rachel Maddow, Bill O'Reilly, and Ed Schultz for what they describe as sexual excitement and giddiness over the war in Libya. They argue that these journalists view being a war correspondent as the pinnacle of their careers, leading to biased and enthusiastic coverage of military conflict.

11:29 So we, let's go over some that we can either talk some more about this now or we can do the executive producer thing get it out of the way which I'd like to. Well it's not a question of getting it out of the way its an honor, it's an honorable position that we need to...

12:05 but generally speaking you don't say it's mostly about most of what I got out of the thing is that the warmongering that takes place by these cable news guys on both the right and left. O'Reilly is an unbelievable war monger. He's like this is good let's go for it and then i've got rachel maddow who's a warmonger and that guy ed schwartz the ed show who is a warmongers all for this. You know what it is?

Mailing List Typos and Negative Reinforcement

A discussion ensues regarding typos in the No Agenda mailing list and the psychological impact of negative phrasing. Adam explains his choice to use the word "remember" instead of "don't forget" to avoid reinforcing the negative action of forgetting, citing principles of neuro-linguistic programming.

Rachel Maddow Style Points for Obama War

Rachel Maddow is criticized for giving President Obama "style points" for his casual approach to the Libya intervention while visiting Brazil. The hosts mock the media's attempt to differentiate Obama's military actions from those of George W. Bush, noting the coincidence of the movie "Rio" and "Angry Birds Rio" launching during the President's trip.

rachel maddow· barack obama· libya· rio· angry birds

23:46 Let me get my... Ed Schwartz, Matt Owl. Who else you got? I've got a couple from Matt Owl. Matt Owls is interesting because here's what's interesting if you listen let's listen to the Matt Owl clip then i want to deconstruct something kind of amusing about it that i think there are two of them on here yeah and lets see what are they their Matt Owl and I've got Monger and Matt Owl too Matt, would you play longer than two? on

24:41 countries as in the lead here. The US waiting until there was a clear international consensus before doing anything on our own." I can just see him now, okay Rachel is re-invited to the White House Christmas party! Yes you could come back! So she's all for this war... Yeah way to go hey hey hey Rachel let's kill some brown people She's all for the war, but if you listen to the second clip you finally get... You finally figure out what it is. Maybe she has always been a warmonger but she likes this style. Style over substance! Did she ever care about? No, she didn't like the way Bush did it But its okay the way Obama does it

25:22 I mean it's just totally a... he gives Obama style points. So war is great if you do it this way! I agree, he kills people in style. It's much..it's ya know? He has got style about him. Doesn't bother announcing it, he just does it. He's humping and South America. Yeah listens to the UN Yeah, he kowtows to the UN who I guess are our new super lords. The UN tells him what to do and he does it? Yeah awesome let's hear how Rachel feels about it.

25:58 canceling his trade visit to Latin America as a result of this military action in Libya. And, of course the White House knew that criticism would come but their decision to go ahead with the trip anyway...to forego the chest-thumping commander in chief theater that usually goes with the start of a military intervention of any kind...that in itself is a fascinating and rather blunt demonstration on just how much this presidency is not like that of George W Bush. Is that pathetic or what? Yeah, you know he's really so awesome because you know He just kills people and then like you know chills out. And he is much casual about it. He thumps his chest. He just does it. We know why he went to Rio One of our producers had to alert us to that we totally blew that one Of course for the launch of the movie Rio which came out There was a movie coming out Rio cause there was no other reason for him to go to Rio Except to promote them

26:58 It came out while he was in Rio! The news is full of Rio, boom they've got the red carpet premiere for Rio. And Angry Birds Rio came out. Yeah I mean come on Coincidence? I think not hold on... Coincidence?! I THINK NOT So, uh... so meanwhile... Wait a minute. Rachel Maddow shame on you! Shame on you! Yeah He's not like Bush where he gets a flight jacket and a helmet because Obama can't fly It's like no, he just coolly chills go hang out play some soccer with the kids Chillin' while killin'! This is the title of this show. Chillin While Killin'. Hey man I'm just chilling while i'm killing

Ed Schultz and Bill O'Reilly Lockerbie Justification

Ed Schultz and Bill O'Reilly are called out for using the 1988 Lockerbie bombing as a primary justification for the current mission against Gaddafi. The hosts question why this grievance is being raised 23 years later and suggest that any real investigation into the bombing would involve looking into CIA involvement and drug smuggling.

ed schultz· bill o'reilly· lockerbie bombing· pan am 103· cia

27:42 It's disgusting this and by the way, it's disgusting Totally disgusting. So we have one more warmonger Ed Schwartz to Ed show This guy is all over everybody who he coming He not only does the same thing and gives him style points But he actually comes out says this is a great idea Here we go not doing it the way they would want to do it President Obama has decided on a more focused, realistic approach. He's trying to give the rebels those who want democracy a fighting chance at just that and trying to stop Gaddafi this is the human thing to do from slaughtering his own people. Slaughtering!

28:21 Now, aside from all the reasons for this mission you will never convince me that Qaddafi didn't have a hand in the Lockerbie bombing. You'll never convince me that Qaddafi hasn't supplied resources to terrorists given the fact Americans died on that 747 over Lockerbie I'm all for this mission. Hey Ed, why don't we open up that investigation buddy? Why don't we take a look at the suitcases of cocaine and the CIA's involvement huh? Why don't we do that Ed? Reopen that! Mr Journalist... You know the other day, Ed Schwartz and O'Reilly are on exact same page on this because O'Reilly keeps bringing up this 20- how old when was the locker be 1988

28:59 Yes, 28 19 23 years ago. Hey if there was if you wanted a problem with Qaddafi want to do something in kind of the time frame instead of rushing You know at the last minute Why don't you go in and bomb England when they let this so-called guy behind the whole thing? Go Scotland I believe yeah well that's better probably These guys are like horrible people Like no they are horrible people so of course this is all wag the dog This whole thing is scripted and set up, and I heard this amazing report because you know we've got to have footage right So we the only footage. I've seen so far is of a plane Well, I think that guys lighter blew up while it was lightening up his joint And the things falls out of the sky

CHAPTER 13 / 45 Discussion

Fake Cell Phone Video B-Roll in Libya

The hosts deconstruct a news report claiming that footage of rocket attacks was obtained from a cell phone dropped by a Gaddafi soldier. They dismiss the story as a fabrication used to justify the use of unverified B-roll footage in the absence of actual combat recordings.

b-roll· cell phone video· libya· propaganda· news footage

29:50 and that's the only... I've seen no bombing raids, nothing. That stupid plane we talked about last week So they have no footage of all this slaughter This holocaust according to George McCain so uh... they got it like use file footage but how do you get around it? It is all B-roll! Well listen to this They're showing the Libyan army shooting massive rockets at something and uh... it's just as you see a row of tanks shooting stuff so how do they get away with the with saying that saying that its uh... that is b-roll and by the way listen for the uh... for this show name in here as well both sides are talking top a rebel spokesperson told me or should be a spokesperson for the on new traditional government only quote we have to resolve the model is

30:44 and or we die and he says they will not surrender to gaddafi are clearly the battles are continuing in our west of mizrata a civilian population continuing to get pounded there were told that there are coalition air strikes now to try take out you got these tanks in military might uh... in that western town and south of us in our job yes strategic location about ninety miles up below bengali how that's where godot these forces have created the eastern front line and that's where rebel soldiers continue to engage those forces and are being beaten back uh... we heard of several killed in wounded yesterday and again the day before that our locals tell us they can't go home when they try to get back in they have to leave very quickly because you got these forces or in control by jobby and you mentioned that cell phone video we've got that from a local resident who told us that it would came from the fall of a good doctor soldier who dropped

31:36 So they're showing this footage of these tanks shooting at something and the way they get away with lying about where the footage comes from is some dude picked it up because a Qaddafi fighter dropped his cell phone and he had taken pictures of that with it. What a crock! That is unbelievable. Now listen, and of course his whole report is filled with you know we spoke to sources you know people some guys some dude they're not saying who but then the name crops up John here it comes. And they found it and showed us that video of that rocket attack pretty dramatic stuff We should also mention that the transitional government now has a new temporary leader His name is Mahmoud Jibril

CHAPTER 14 / 45 Discussion

Mahmoud Jibril and the Transitional Government Website

The Libyan transitional government's new leader, Mahmoud Jibril, is identified as a former student in Philadelphia. The hosts mock the legitimacy of the rebel government, noting that its primary achievement seems to be having a website promoted by Western media.

mahmoud jibril· transitional government· libya· philadelphia· website

32:24 Oh, Mahmoud Jibril John. Do you remember Mahmoud Jibril? What transitional government?! This is the one that has a website! Oh no... Yeah, Jibril is the guy that studied in Philly He's now the leader of the transitional government with a website according to George McCain It's unbelievable people! I can't watch anymore. Okay, well i have a clip then that you definitely need to listen to. This clip was... Oh sorry, I dropped my cell phone. After warmonger Maddow, I don't know what she expected from this guy but this is one of the best foreign correspondents. I've always liked his reports because they're extremely honest and they never play him on the network and they keep them off the air actually. Richard Engel from NBC News

CHAPTER 15 / 45 Discussion

Richard Engel Report on Unskilled Libyan Rebels

NBC's Richard Engel provides a candid report on the lack of military sophistication among Libyan rebels, noting they often run away during fighting and struggle to load weapons. Engel reports that many rebels are motivated by conspiracy theories, such as the belief that Gaddafi is Jewish, and that top commanders take days off despite U.S. military support.

richard engel· nbc news· libyan rebels· conspiracy theories· military training

33:18 What kind of impact is the Western intervention having on Qaddafi's forces? The strategy, at least the declared strategy is essentially to make things safe enough for the rebels that they can win on their own. Do you see anything like that happening? That's going to be a tough one. These rebels are divided into two groups, they're the volunteers and these rebels have really no military experience very little sophistication very little education A lot of bravado but when the actual fighting happens most of them run away We were with rebels today who didn't know how to load their weapons

33:57 they were dropping rounds of ammunition on the ground. A lot of them are fighting for weird conspiracy theories, I would say one in five of the rebels told me today that they're fighting because they think Gaddafi is Jewish so they do not have the same ideals that a lot of Americans probably think they do have The other group of the rebels people who've been unit that have defected from could help you talk to and if we're waiting for these uh... these defective units to go in suddenly storm the front lines i think when they have to be waiting a little bit longer i went looking for one of these top commanders here in tobrook actually the top commander into brooklyn we went through the military base and knocked on the door he decided to take today off

34:43 and i was shocked at that you would think if the u.s. military had just joined your revolution after two plus days this wouldn't be the apt time to go home and spend some time with the family that's it this is the i mean this report again this is after warmonger mad al goes on with a rant all right comes out and this is no one has been dropped you might never going to hear that clip ever again or is even getting is there even gonna be discussed so I have I had I think the clip of the week

CHAPTER 16 / 45 Discussion

Global News Teleprompter Failure and Mark McAllister

Global News reporter Mark McAllister suffers a significant on-air teleprompter failure while attempting to report on fighter jet deployments in Libya. The hosts play the clip of McAllister speaking nonsensical phrases and compare it to the infamous "South Carolina Junior Miss" viral video.

mark mcallister· global news· teleprompter· blooper· fighter jets

35:20 Regarding this because of this whole thing, of course is scripted most of these jabroni journalists the JJ's They can't they came a point to Libya on a map. You know, they're just sitting there Just reading off the teleprompter and this guy on Global News I'm not quite sure what it is he comes back from a piece and I think something's wrong with the teleprompter and he tries to you know could but if you are i were there john hill we would just ignore the teleprompter and just try and get out of it but at least will be speaking english now let's have listened this guy fails and getting out of the teleprompter problem that that is from killing civilian so if it takes a ground forces going to be a ground forces meaning it may have only had just begun mark mcallister global news

36:06 Now, Defense Minister McCain-McLeod did confirm today that more than 64 18 fighter jets are spending about as much as 20 and ready to assist the 600 deployed over the amount needed. It did depend on how the NOLAN emerges RN while the university or UN mission as whole received support from all batteries in the hues of the garbons tough today excuse me I'll hand it back to you thank you mark McAllister from Japan tonight what George McCabe mcCloud he says my clouded like Sam McLeod

37:00 I gotta listen to that. That's the pathetic week of a couple of weeks. I gotta listen to a little bit of that, it's funny. Confirmed today that more than 54 18 fighter jets are spending about as much 20 and ready to assist... It's just like 100! I don't have to clip handy but this is like South Carolina Junior Miss who gave that stupid answer that's all over the internet Right You gotta give me, you gotta send me that clip. I got to mash it up with that woman That's funny It's so f- it's so funny! He just like throwing random words out University uh Georgia McLeod Yeah that's your news ladies and gentlemen Welcome to your news No wonder people like the support this show We're actually doing something for ya Well we're not buying into them...we don't have a script

George Galloway Criticizes Arab League Double Standards

George Galloway appears on Sky News to denounce the double standards of the Western intervention in Libya compared to the silence on crackdowns in Yemen and Bahrain. Galloway labels the Arab League a collection of corrupt dictators and puppets, arguing that the intervention is motivated by oil rather than humanitarian concerns.

george galloway· arab league· yemen· bahrain· oil

37:54 It's no agenda ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, we don't have that's right there's no script that's for sure oh my goodness it's good though because uh I get to laugh this i feel so good sometimes at the news well some well it's not just at the news it's at the world Well let's yeah yeah but so I've got just to beat this up some more yeah please um I don't know. We can play this short clip of Anderson Cooper talking about how the Arab League is bailing out which is kind of funny and it's a kinda humorous clip I've got this. What is the Arab League? Let's just talk about that for second Just a bunch of the biggest moguls, these despots, a bunch of despot in Middle East who call the shots for each other Before we go to your Anderson clip... And by the way he's a handsome fellow He's good looking guy He's a good looking man George Galloway

38:56 From Gitmo Nation East was on the evening news now not the BBC unfortunately, they'll never let him on anymore But on Sky News with I think a lot of people watch he's a politician but he's kind of a weird one because he also Before the elections like no fine. No, but he was running for something like five years ago He went on celebrity Big Brother in the UK. He was in The Big Brother house and That kind of tends to mess up your credibility a little bit. I would say public but But he laid it down man, particularly about the Arab League and listen to the reporter. She's like what? What? What? What but she's completely confused She doesn't understand that that anyone would say that you know We can we have to go after Gaddafi because you know He's he's massacring people is a Holocaust duty to stop a humanitarian crisis from unfolding do you agree with him

39:46 Well, it's the double standards that get me. There are more people being gunned down innocent protesters in Yemen for example and no one would dream of invading or imposing a no-fly zone on Yemen because Yemen doesn't have oil It is so transparently an attempt to protect British companies and other Western companies' massive investments in Libya, that it is discredited in the Arab world. I saw your package saying there are Arab representatives at this meeting Who are these Arab representatives? They can't even name themselves or the countries that they come from. But we know that the Arab League came out publicly and backed the UN resolution... The Arab League is a collection of dictatorships! So, we shouldn't be dealing with our nations as well you're saying? No but don't pray them in aid of an operation that's supposed to be standing up for human rights and democracy. The Arab League

40:40 without exception is a collection of puppet presidents, corrupt kings every one of them are dictator. Every one of them now currently shooting their own people who are demonstrating for democracy Well that's right but what the alternative? Do we stand by and watch kind of killing his people? We're standing by watching the Yemen president killing his people we're standing by watching the Bahrain king killing his people so what's the difference between them and Libya everyone watching this knows the differences a dirty little three letter word. What could that three-letter word be John? Let me think, three letter word... BATS! called oil so let's not pretend it's about anything... But Libya only produces 2% of the world's oil That's my favorite Libya only produces two percent of the worlds' oil do you know how much that is dingbat

The Miz and WWE Marketing Genius

Adam Curry recounts a meeting with WWE champion The Miz at his studio, discussing how the wrestler meticulously crafts his "bad guy" persona. The hosts compare the scripted nature of professional wrestling to the "media farce" of cable news, praising Vince McMahon's marketing brilliance.

the miz· wwe· vince mcmahon· reality tv· acting

41:32 What a ditz! 2% do you know how much that is? But anyway he goes on to talk about the 50-50 billion pounds. Not to mention the fact that they have so many reserves it's ridiculous yeah and these people that are doing these sorts of interviews there, their date... theirs uneducated as apparently the rebels are in Libya. They're actors! They're hot looking babes who just read teleprompter or in that guys case not They're actors. You know yesterday I had The Miz here at the studio. You know, the irony is that I want to get a bit part in a movie! Do you know who The Miz is? No who's The Miz? The Miz is the reigning WWE champion

42:19 So, uh... these guys that you said your ladders channel surfing enough to know that little factoid. No I don't but i'd i know because these guys love the big app show and they love to have their champions whenever there's a WrestleMania come by the show So, now this guy was on MTV's Real World in 2001 and I have to say he worked it. He was in every single reality show but here is the cool thing he comes into the house It's like hey man how you doing? The guy that was over at your house Yeah at the studio, well house quote studio yeah That Miz? That Miz yeah Oh dude I'm getting Jenny McCarthy coming all kinds of...all kinds of cool people Anyway just hot babes that's all I want so I am working on a hot babe. He's a good looking guy

43:04 but he comes in and immediately is like, hey man you really did a cool thing this is pretty awesome how you've gotten to this point. This was before we start the interview He's like yeah these guys at the WWE they're so cool and they gave me couple books to read that really helped me form my image And he's talking about how he created his whole character It's completely acting Yeah no that has been that way on the WWE I know everybody knows it but its just funny The WWE rep standing right there, he's just saying all this stuff. And I really like the peacocking thing is good and my clothes are really important." And this is the guy who was supposed to be the bad hat in the WWE. Bad guy! Yeah yeah. He's telling you all of his stuff. Hilarious. So that's the media farce. By the way that's bigger than all news business put together. That whole WWE business. Oh yeah Those guys make some money

44:00 Yeah, well that guy Vince McMahon is something of a genius. I mean he almost got his daughter to win that Senate seat or whatever it was back in the... Right! Oh, I remember that now the guy's absolutely a genius yeah is perfect perfect Marketing genius as a matter effect okay so let's go back okay we're gonna try to get rid of these clips here this short one you know Anderson Cooper when we can skip really because he's so cute all right will play just want to check that it is US policy that Qaddafi needs to go. If you want talk about mixed signals there's also the Arab League 22 countries in the Middle East and North Africa which supported the UN resolution authorizing force then over the weekend it did a 180 Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa saying his member countries wanted to see quote civilians protect, civilians protection not shelling more civilians think he should throw civilians

CHAPTER 19 / 45 Discussion

China and Russia Denounce Libya Intervention

The hosts note the lack of Western media coverage regarding China and Russia's denunciation of the military action in Libya. They suggest the conflict is partly a result of Gaddafi doing business with these nations, which threatened Western economic interests.

china· russia· libya· hillary clinton· international relations

44:56 So there's no reporting on how like China and Russia have denounced all of this. Oh yeah, they denounced it They told but there's no reporting on it Why bother? China and Russia And obviously because that's why the whole problem started in the first place is Gaddafi was doing business with China and Russia Yeah, they were horning in our bit on our business on our deals exactly You can't do and Hillary Clinton Hillary Clinton I'm going to get all these out of the way. So when the caca is hitting the fan, you want to go to the most compromised news service in the United States which is ABC News and the reason why because the new president of ABC News his sister is special advisor to President Obama so they're all like hanging out there chilling while killing

CHAPTER 20 / 45 Discussion

Hillary Clinton and Diane Sawyer Allegedly Vague Interview

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gives an interview to Diane Sawyer on ABC News, discussing unconfirmed reports that Gaddafi's sons have been killed. The hosts mock the repetitive use of the word "allegedly" and the lack of concrete information, characterizing the interview as a dynamic but empty theatrical performance.

hillary clinton· diane sawyer· abc news· gaddafi sons· rumors

45:50 and uh... hillary clinton goes on there with the diane sawyer who is i'm convinced is a presidential mk ultra model as she's got a chip it's hard to um... it's hard to actually hear the insincerity in the fakery that's honor face walk while hillary clinton is talking but you'll hear her say things in this that by just want to kill the woman when i shouldn't say that because they can get me trouble act i'd i'd just wanna poop on You want to, the right terminology is you want to slap her. Slap her thank you but that also could be deemed as dangerous and not too bad helicopters could cover it. We bring you a headline tonight are there signs that Colonel Muammar Gaddafi and those close to him may be trying to find an exit even though Gaddafi appeared on television promising to win?

46:42 Also, as ABC News has reported on Good Morning America, Libyan diplomats say at least one of Gaddafi's sons may now have been killed. Yeah this is another thing that has been out there like one of his and by the way same script as Saddam Hussein yeah and then there's something bogus about it because as we discussed in the show when this first started did this this little event began a couple weeks ago uh... the sons except for the israel guy that guy who was always you know yelling at screaming people with the bald-headed idea they all took off to venezuela it is pretty well documented no but but let's be vague about it and lets let uh... hillary talked to ya heard this vague re myself will be in pilot

47:25 on a kamikaze mission. That was the guy who's plane fell out of the sky, that was the only one. It was a kamikaze mission? Yeah didn't you know that? They've redefined this guy crashing into the ground straight up as a kamikaze mission. Exactly. So here is what Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told us today about Qaddafi and the report about his sons There's a report that... Report! Report! We gotta deconstruct this whole thing. A report! Report! ...Duffy's sons, at least one but maybe two have been killed Can you confirm this? Well, I can't confirm it but we've heard it and we've heard a lot. Incredibly? Yeah, we hear a lot! We know a lot! We hear a lot! Well, we hear from many different sources. Sources!! And that's why I can't confirm it. I can't give any confirmation because... In other words BS. Uh-huh. You know the evidence is not sufficient but we've heard that. We've heard about other people close to him reaching out to

48:27 people that they know around the world Africa, the Middle East Europe Belgium North America Europe people in Europe calling Hillary hello Hillary when you come shopping to Paris I have some important information for you very new shoes we have new Manalo blankets for you Hillary what do we do? Listen, people around the world calling Hillary going w-w-what do we do?! What did we do! And that's why I can't confirm it. I can't give any confirmation because you know the evidence is not sufficient but we've heard that we've heard about other people close to him uh... reaching out too uh... and people that they know around the world Africa of the Middle East Europe

49:30 North why is this even on the air? She's saying nothing because it's She gets horny. I'm by being on TV. I don't know no just look, I think Diane's in Paris with her I mean, why don't know where else this interview was done and like Diane we have to do something. We have to you know does You know, we have to make it look like we're doing something over here before we go to pay for this trip Yeah Before we go see Pierre to have our hair done gotta do some business or not gonna be able to write this off Why'd you ask me some questions? And I'll just go on beyond saying what do we do how to get out of this what happens next including him, do you know where he is? well I'm not aware that he personally has reached out but i do know that people allegedly on his behalf allegedly on his...people allegedly worried about a lawsuit she used the word allegedly see she doesn't want to be caught later by the Adam and John show when they say hey remember when you said that so I said allegedly. I said allegedly have been reaching out

50:33 So that's why I say this is a very dynamic situation. It's dynamic! But are you indicating that there's some... By the way, this whole thing is chopped to bits you can hear it in the audio. ...close to him on his behalf reaching out to say how do we get out? Now here's where she smiles How does he get out? This is what we hear from so many sources Diane. It is a constant today Today yesterday the day before It's every single day, my phone is just on fire. I cannot tell you every day they're calling saying Gaddafi wants out! I know i know some of it... I'll be very uh you know as my honest say on she wants to say honest but she can't so some of it i'll be very

CHAPTER 21 / 45 Discussion

Blaming the Women for Libya Intervention

An article in the Daily Beast is discussed which blames Hillary Clinton, Samantha Power, and Susan Rice for the Libya intervention. The hosts suggest this narrative is being established to provide scapegoats in case the military operation fails, despite the likelihood that others are orchestrating the strategy.

hillary clinton· samantha power· susan rice· daily beast· scapegoating

51:15 personal opinion uh... some of it is theater a lot of that is just the way he behaves somewhat unpredictable. He's crazy! Some of that we think is exploring you know what are my options where could I go what could I do and we would encourage that. We, The Royal Clintons, we would encourage that. We think its very good. You gave me link for the show notes about Clinton and Rice Yeah, that woman Rice. That's a UN ambassador and this other woman Powell of powers yeah power who is married to Cass Sunström that guy Sunstrom all right Sunstein Sunstrom cast Sunstrom yeah oh that's right no the power Oh of course she's the PR woman

52:05 She's the... she, right who was working for the Obama campaign and called Hillary a monster. Right And got fired but now she is big buddies with Hillary Of course She seems to be just a horrible person Well maybe that was the setup Maybe that whole thing was a set up That what I was thinking The same thing I was thinking about that article ran in the Daily Beast which we have a link too on the show notes I read it and it blames Hillary Power and Rice, the woman from the UN American ambassador to the UN for the whole thing as a...I think its just a way to blame them in case this thing falls apart because this whole deal is falling apart. It's obviously orchestrated by somebody else and they need to blame the women

CHAPTER 22 / 45 Discussion

March 19th Occult Numerology and Historical War Dates

The hosts explore the significance of the March 19th start date for the Libya attack, noting it is the same anniversary as the Iraq War. They investigate various historical events on this date, including the founding of the Gitmo naval base in 1903 and U.S. intervention in Honduras in 1924, suggesting a pattern of planned military timing.

march 19· numerology· iraq war· gitmo· honduras

52:47 and that who were all for it i mean is not like they're blameless but the point is is that there probably not really behind it because you know and as why uh... uh... you know bob on the took off now he has a lot of our work to do i gotta go to be chillin while we begin in is going to be genuine killing so he so but the thing that kit that got me and i ended up spending way too much time on this which is the fact that did the event obama's attack began on three nineteen which is the exact same day as the war in Iraq. The exact same day! Well, these elitists they love numbers I know and so i'm trying to figure out what this is relating to now I ran into a number of possibilities I'm just going to mention them casually one I figured it might be some biblical reference and there was a good one Genesis 319 I'll read from the new international version by this... Hold on hold on let me give you little uh... biblical music here

53:45 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground. Since from it, you were taken for dust you are and to dust you will return." Wow! So that's a possibility. You're nothing but dust, so we gotta look out for the dust meme. Hey I thought there was a dust meme somewhere? Then i looked up for dates and find these are any other 319 days that are interesting and I went to my...I've looked at every possible timeline I could find there's a couple interesting things in 1687 on 319 the French explorer LaSalle was murdered by his own men

54:26 the death of William III and the rise of Ann Stewart in 1702, I don't think that was it. Boston was incorporated in 1822. The US Senate ratifies the Cuban Treaty gaining naval bases in Gitmo on 3-19-1903 and by the way I think that's the date! Wow because Gitmo was founded on the same day as the Iraq war began, as this war began. And I'm calling it a war let's be honest about it and talking about people say well you know America never used to be that much into this kind of crazy you know we try to stay out there Jefferson said stay out of these these crazy situations meanwhile on this exact same day in 1924 US troops are rushed to Galicia Gupa

55:14 to Gucci Galpa, sorry as rebel forces take the Honduran capital. So we got involved in 1924 on this exact same date and some sort of a crazy military action All I know is it seemed that they rushed to hit this date on the money. Right, it was like hey man hurry up with that alright? Hey write that resolution already you know so they wrote that 1970 resolution and like hey man we gotta hit the 319er baby we gotta hit the 319er It's a little off-the-wall And then once your doing that then uh...you can go chill Everything will be good. Hey, I got let's just can we switch gears for a second cuz I'm kind of I'm kind of yeah We could shift here. Yeah, I think so Do you remember? Jamie Gorlick the name rings a bell she left the Clinton Justice Department in 1997 oh Yeah, yeah, okay go work for Fannie Mae

CHAPTER 23 / 45 Discussion

Jamie Gorelick Considered for FBI Director

Former Clinton Justice Department official and Fannie Mae executive Jamie Gorelick is reportedly on the short list to lead the FBI. The hosts criticize the potential appointment, citing her role in the financial mismanagement of Fannie Mae and her high salary as disqualifying factors for a law enforcement role.

jamie gorelick· fbi· fannie mae· clinton administration· justice department

56:12 Right, right. We talked about... Yeah she's one of those puppets Now she was paid 26 million dollars in salary and bonuses Is that a guy or girl? You sure? Well looking at the picture it's questionable but I'd say because of the lipstick It's a woman yeah Oh it's nothing he would do let's put it that way So she was the chairman of Fannie Mae Of course, largely responsible for messing it all up. Guess what? She's seriously being considered as the new person to run the FBI! Oh no... The FBI?! And she looks like a Lucy

56:56 Oh, jeez. Whose idea is this? A banker?! Probably Lucy's idea! I don't know... She has got a... See the best way when someone is about to get screwed because they've messed it up and there have been horrible people The best thing is to put them in a high position That seems to me that seems to be the best way to do it Oh man That's a bad thing No its really bad Now it's not official of course Well the fact that it's even coming up in the conversation is pathetic. Yeah, yeah no apparently this is uh... she's on the short list It'd be cool to watch that I don't think so There are a couple other things that didn't hit the mainstream there was one report that just blew me away and we've talked about this many times and this comes on the heels of this announcement which I guess had hit the tape

CHAPTER 24 / 45 Discussion

AT&T T-Mobile Merger and NSA Fiber Splitting

Following the announcement of AT&T's plan to acquire T-Mobile, the hosts discuss whistleblower Mark Klein's evidence of NSA surveillance at AT&T facilities. They describe a "country tap" where fiber optic splitters at 611 Folsom Street in San Francisco allow the NSA to monitor all data traffic, a system that would expand with the merger.

at&t· t-mobile· nsa· mark klein· fiber optic

57:54 uh... on the was sunday when they can see announces gonna buy a t-mobile and which of course uh... news everyone's there rooting around in the air turns out that eighteen c actually has the biggest lobbying group in uh... you know of washington so you know that this is just going to happen right visits it's issue wrote a column telling people are right their congressman this would be a bit pathetic loss of competition, it's a company buying out you know another competitor I mean everything about antitrust and we have Democrats in office. Everything about anti-trust has got written all over at large and I hate that company

58:34 Well, you're going to hate it even more. EFF who I'm not a huge fan of for my own personal reasons but they've got a whistleblower former AT&T technician Mark Klein and they've got the evidence they have PDF online everything in show notes noagendershow.com showing that AT&T You know that 611 Folsom Street in San Francisco, that big building with no windows we talk about all the time? Yeah the CIA building. Right! Or actually NSA I think... So they have a fiber optic splitter so they literally don't have like stuff installed No They just have like a big splitter on the fiber optic for everything that flows to that building and it's going right off to the NSA

59:17 Well, why would they bother doing it? Why don't they just put it in there because that building is designed for some sort of... It looks like you could take a nuke. They'd mind. All the windows are blacked out with metal? I guess what this proves is that they don't just have like Echelon or something, you know in a rack there... Well it's probably split off to take everything. The whole thing is split up but to send to MI6 because they're the ones who can analyze Americans legally who good point we don't have any information about by the way it would be that would make up for the fact that is not at their at the facility you cut his split so no i know it's it's at the facility now i'm saying that's why they've been computers to do then out of all right here used to be split off he said that my six who can do a legally and actually that makes sense because one of these experts that they uh... have analyzed this says this isn't a wire tap it's a country tap perfect

1:00:17 So just add T-Mobile to the mix. Beautiful! It's a beautiful thing. Right, because they're basically Deutsche Telekom too I mean that's where they stem from if i'm not mistaken originally Although I will say the Gitmo nation Deutschland Not really participating you know they pulled all of their stuff out They pulled all of their... They're not participating in the Arab Spring And uh..I think they tried to kill Merkel Did you hear about this? No, tell me. So she had to go to an event right on the Swiss border, Walchut Tiengen and 200 miles into its journey both engines quit Now I know a lot about helicopters because i fly them And this is a Super Puma which I have flown actually once and I've flown in them but I've actually been at the stick before

CHAPTER 25 / 45 Discussion

Angela Merkel Helicopter Engine Failure and Russia

German Chancellor Angela Merkel's helicopter experienced a rare dual-engine failure near the Swiss border, leading to speculation about an EMP or sabotage. The hosts suggest the incident might be related to Germany's withdrawal from the Libya conflict and Russia's influence over European energy supplies.

angela merkel· germany· russia· helicopter· emp

1:01:15 It's a twin engine, so first of all to have both engines go out highly unlikely. Now of course the reporting is so crappy, but you know so they go into autorotation which is what you do and You can land. You know you get one shot at it But they were I'm sure that if the terrain was okay They would have landed no problem And they were able to restart the engines on the way down from 5,000 feet you got about a minute something like that and so there to restart the engines and Merkel then wound up taking a car the rest of the way but I'm thinking EMP Because it is so unlikely that you have both engines quit and then you're able to restart at a lower altitude hmm, and That's pretty peculiar. I think it's a Why would anybody be out to get? Merkel I mean what has she done recently I know she's been Deutschland is pulled out of the whole thing they've pulled their tanks back they pull their planes back everything They pull back there not in it for some reason

1:02:20 and I think it's because Russia probably said, hey Angela you still want your oil and your gas? Then you shall stop. That could be the Russians have pretty much locked down that part of the world without having to do any military thing they just they have them hooked on their oil yeah oh yeah i mean Russia controls Europe now with their gas and everything now that they took out all the Polish government they got that pipeline running right past Poland which Poland didn't want You know, it's a long-term plan but these guys do execute. Yeah well they've always thought you have to remember the Communist Party from the get go and from late 1917 on through the 20s specialized in long term planning so they think even though there were wrong and wrong because

CHAPTER 26 / 45 Discussion

Arab Spring Origins and PNAC Long-Term Planning

The term "Arab Spring" is traced back to 2005 during the George W. Bush administration, with links to the Project for a New American Century (PNAC). The hosts discuss how these geopolitical shifts are often part of long-term strategic plans that were documented years before their execution.

arab spring· pnac· george w. bush· 9/11· long-term planning

1:03:18 your economy necessarily, but you get into that mindset of thinking in some sort of different dimension where you're thinking long-term. You can come up with some schemes I love the chat room. Oh water and the fuel is more likely hey douchebags. I'm a pilot okay Give me a break watering the fuel So uh? She see this way with the chat room yeah well But let me just hook into what you just said about the long term thing the term Arab Spring is actually first cropped up in 2005. George W Bush was talking about the Arab Spring and there's some evidence that this is actually part of PNAC

1:04:01 the project for a new american century which is also credited with uh... planning the nine eleven attack it's very interesting if you have been these are just articles you should read and taken for what they are entering the show notes under the air arab spring heading up right project for a new americans entry i've read their material over and over again as quite interesting well a lot of what they what they uh... write about kinda comes true yes because they execute actually do it I got maybe one more thing i want to do on my 316. 319. I'm sorry, 319? I keep coming with 316 let me find it this is the long shot thing that just and again it's just something I want people to go download a copy and look at it

CHAPTER 27 / 45 Discussion

Gaddafi Green Book and Jimmy Dorsey Connection

In a "long shot" associative segment, the hosts link the March 19th recording of "Green Eyes" by Jimmy Dorsey to Muammar Gaddafi's "Green Book." They describe the Green Book as a quasi-political screed containing a vision of the future that is worth reading despite being ridiculed.

muammar gaddafi· green book· jimmy dorsey· green eyes· music

1:04:53 And this was very weirdly associative, but in 319 Jimmy Dorsey and his orchestra recorded one of their biggest musical successes. It became one a deck of records all-time greats Green Eyes which you can listen to if you wanted to go to YouTube So I'm thinking green eyes 1941 on the same day what does that refer to anything? And i was thinking well maybe Qaddafi's got green eyes and it's possible that he does I couldn't find out But I think his dad did for sure but Qaddafi did a book called The Green Book Really, this is amazing long shot to find this you can download a string comes in three parts It is a it is a vision of the future with all kinds of weird information. That's been ridiculed to death But if you actually look at and start reading it, it's very interesting. It's a very interesting tone So it's you know?

1:05:42 on the league of the stuff that Ho Chi Minh did but it's one of those kind of quasi-political screeds that is well worth reading at least as far as I'm concerned and you can download is it on the... but is it on the Kindle? We're going to have to put in on the Kindle. Here's Green Eyes with Tommy Dorsey. That sucks Give me Justin Bieber any day. So anyway, that's just a little kind of weird connection I made It's a stretch but i'll read his green book Yeah sounds like something we should check out Now before we leave the topic because you're talking about the airplane crapping out A helicopter

CHAPTER 28 / 45 Discussion

Reagan National Airport Sleeping Controller Incident

Two planes were forced to land at Reagan National Airport without tower assistance because the lone air traffic controller on duty was allegedly asleep. Adam Curry explains that "uncontrolled" landings are routine in aviation, while the hosts question why Homeland Security was not involved if the airport's proximity to the White House makes it a high-security zone.

reagan national airport· air traffic control· ntsb· diane sawyer· homeland security

1:06:31 I have an ask Adam. Oh my goodness, I was unprepared hold on let's uh let's get a Let's get a new one here what do we have? Let's try this one okay this is another report an airline incident now which you know what there's you have to ask Adam don't want just a basket and that was okay and it is your buddy Diane Sawyer again makes a comment mm-hmm makes a comment at the end and I have to ask you about this play the clip for more than 20 harrowing minutes the tower at Reagan National Airport right ominously quiet

1:07:11 At 1210 AM, American Airlines flight 1900 from Dallas could not reach the tower after being handed over from regional controllers. The pilot executed a go-round following routine aviation procedure. Failing to raise the tower on the second approach, the pilot treated the airport as if it were uncontrolled and landed 15 minutes later, a United flight was also unable to contact anyone in the Reagan Tower. Both flights... Did he say it's happened before though? Yeah this happened before. ...landed safely

1:07:58 There was just one controller on duty at that hour. The NTSB now investigating whether he was asleep, away from his desk or there was some communication issue with the tower whatever they find Diane they are going to be reviewing those staffing levels for this airport It's just two and a half miles from the White House. Oh, Jim it must have been a nail-biting time for those guys. Nail biting! Okay here is the guy I haven't asked yet. Ask Adam question of course apparently one plane landed and 15 minutes later another plane landed with on an uncontrolled basis Question number one, there's two questions. Question number one if you're in this situation is it nail-biting time? Is it a nail biting moment? No! Well you just answered the question no! So what's happening here is the word uncontrolled is being misrepresented

1:08:50 So it is just a regular aviation term, controlled field or an uncontrolled field. 99% of all fields in the United States are uncontrolled and the way you do it is called unicom and everyone can hear you on the frequency You call it say I'm downwind coming around we're going to land on this runway and keep a lookout for me And its very normal procedure I believe... so I hadn't actually looked this up Reagan National Airport that I don't think this place is staffed before 7 a.m.. As is That there's no one on on staff, so they may have been early You know maybe the guy was taking a poop

1:09:33 It happens. Yeah, there's only one guy who can take a poop and then it's like you get in and I even heard the We should have called the poop police Oh we had a poop police jingle somewhere oh my goodness. How could i not have that in my box here? I feel really stupid now. I gotta look at that one. Oh here it is detective dookie police sp you special poopers unit who do you call who do you call when you can't win the airport is uncontrolled

1:10:18 So Diane saw her nail biting moment and was an eye roller. I hear the guy even saying like this happened before yeah the guy had to go poop if you only got one guy he's gotta poop? Well there is going to be a massive investigation about this poop. Question number two if this was such a big deal... Wait, wait, wait! You can't just fire off question number 2 without Oh, here we go. Okay so the question number two is if this two miles from the White House and this is a big nail-biting moment where's Homeland Security in the matter? Yeah

1:11:02 Well, duh. All the money we're spending on Homeland Security is the biggest police force in the... bigger than our military and where are they? Should they be involved maybe? This is a question- Should they be manning the tower I mean what's the deal? Well there's only one person to ask Lucy We don't have her we don't have an ask Lucy segment. No, we have this detective Dookie Looks like we have a pooper on our hands John We got a pooper on our hands two miles from the White House. This is bad. Oh, oh, we gotta go in Detective Dooky

Sean Hannity and Shirley Temple Ad Targeting

Adam Curry presents a quiz regarding an advertisement for Shirley Temple films appearing on Sean Hannity's show. The hosts discuss how advertising reveals the actual demographics of a program, noting that news shows often target "old farts" with pharmaceutical ads despite claims of seeking a younger audience.

1:11:39 So anyway, so that's my One I have a second ask Adam quiz if you if you want to do that now or you want to go Let's do the quiz. Let's do the quiz Or we could save that for after these no But but but play they asked Adam Okay all right and then when I played this question right off the bat No, no play the ask Adam. I just did! I didn't hear it. Oh that's a terrible one. Erase that one okay here we go so you know and i know being in the media in some way shape or form at all most of our lives

1:12:21 that advertisements are usually on shows that are, you know they're kind of customized. If you watch the evening news for example there's nothing but drug ads yeah because old people who are sick watch that and they by the way I say oh we're trying to get a younger demo which is referring to the Democrats. I say no they're not, they want to keep because they got a locked in audience of old farts that need drugs and the drug ads are the ones their selling so there never going for younger demo they don't want too because they get this thing So you can always kind of deconstruct, you can kinda reverse engineer what kind of audience is watching the show based on the ads. If your watching a show that's got a bunch of childrens' ads on it, this shows for kids and your watching it maybe you should rethink what your watching. Makes total sense

1:13:09 So now right so I'm gonna play part of an ad mm-hmm. This is ask Adams quiz You have to guess the show okay? and Pure wholesome fun the entire family will enjoy together My duck did a wonderful trick my dick can lay an egg, and just what he's so wonderful about that well Can you lay an egg These classic Shirley Temple films have stood the test of time and you'll cherish sharing these heartwarming adventures again and again with your family and friends.

TSA Scanner Refusal at Schiphol Airport

Adam Curry's daughter refused to go through a body scanner at Schiphol Airport, citing her father's warnings that the machines are "creepy." Her refusal prompted several other American passengers to also opt for a pat-down, leading to a minor delay and a demonstration of solidarity against the scanning technology.

1:29:14 and uh... is this a joke isn't that the name of the guy in the movie there's got to have an example or that's a good movie don't mess with so hard whatever it is now it's as though how the first news agency which of course is uh... partially funded by uh... the government as if they built flying saucer when they have a picture of it and uh... it's equipped with autopilot gps It's not huge, but it's a flying saucer. It's kind of like their version of a drone. I'm just getting pounded with rain here! It's ridiculous By the way there is this human resource in Gitmo Nation Lowlands and he is a ham operator. Hey! Yeah exactly and he has been tweeting all of the stuff that he has picked up in the Libya conflict

1:30:07 And you should really follow this guy. It's really interesting, because of course now... What is his name on Twitter? Let me find it for you Of course Gitmo Nation Lowlands has also jumped in They're sending over a couple F-16s and we're sending the ships over We are all helping out with the Arab Spring! It is very important that we be apart of that But they also have Global Hawks flying around So he's picking that stuff up. And a lot of this, I mean it's not like top secret information necessarily.

Operation Odyssey Dawn Name Ridicule

The name "Operation Odyssey Dawn" is mocked for sounding like a stripper, a cruise line, or a progressive rock album. The hosts also joke about the Dutch Air Force's participation in the mission after one of their F-16s had to make an emergency landing due to broken gear.

1:30:50 Yeah, you know what? You're right. Every time I see it, oh you know we've never discussed this on the show what a dumb name! And everybody has a joke for it so you know and watch all the comics one of them says it sounds like a stripper that my wife said it sounds like a stripper uh... I think John Stewart's in a sound like a cruise liner than the region cruise line. Right. What is the point of it well tell ya I'm glad somebody did some work Of course Jack Schroeder our producer from Gitmo Nation Great White North He says, all right dictionary very simple. Odyssey a long wandering and eventful journey Dawn an opening time period so of course the dawn refers to spring an odyssey means it's gonna take a long time bitches It's no play the permaclip take the All right I'll play the permaclip where'd my mouse go

1:31:44 You probably ate in that calafla or whatever they think you're eating. Calafal! Operation Odyssey Dawn Let me emphasize that we anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not a matter of weeks I think Stewart said it was a yes album Oh yeah, Stewart said somebody else had it as a cruise line Yeah he had an old Yes album So the guy you want to follow is FMCNL Foxtrot Mike Charlie November Lima He's on it all the time. He's monitoring his frequencies and it was funny, so they sent two F-16s were on their way from Leeuwarden which is a base in the Netherlands and one of them had to land at Schiphol because you know his landing gear was broke

We'll be there tomorrow Well, that's hilarious start without us yeah I'm telling you well just a matter of days baby just a matter of days not gonna take too long I promise You you can take that to the bank It's not going to take long. I have a couple of more clips that are interesting, good uh there was one uh well i think this was O'Reilly and Britt Hume. Britt Hume was talking about O'Reilly who is a warmonger came up with this well isn't this kind of like when Reagan you know attacked you know sent a bunch of missiles over there trying to attack Qaddafi

CHAPTER 36 / 45 Discussion

UN Resolution 1973 Deception and Reagan Parallel

The hosts argue that the public was "duped" regarding UN Resolution 1973, which they claim only authorized a no-fly zone for Libyan aircraft rather than the bombing of ground targets. They play a clip of Brit Hume discussing how Ronald Reagan's 1986 attack on Gaddafi's compound was preceded by a warning, suggesting the current conflict follows a similar "rigged" theatrical pattern.

un resolution 1973· no-fly zone· ronald reagan· gaddafi· brit hume

1:33:27 Is it similar when they, you know, accepted...you know and Brigham says well the missiles that hit Qaddafi's compound. And by the way if I'm not mistaken this no-fly zone thing was supposed to take out the military installations of radar and things like that but what is...? Before you go on and I don't know I guess I missed this clip somehow there's a clip of that Diane Sawyer interview where Hillary Clinton says the language in the UN resolution was so broad but it, that's a lie. It's not true! It wasn't broad it says you gotta stop first of all take all the money that half for the resolution take all the money here is how you can spend it then the other half is no aircraft with Libyan registration can fly and you have to prevent any arm smuggling in the ports

1:34:14 That's it. It was not broad at all, it actually doesn't say blow up radar installations we were tricked into thinking that the resolution says no aircraft with Libyan registration can fly. It does says nothing about blowing stuff up I was duped even by that Well, we're blowing stuff up and we're also attacking the Libyan Qaddafi's compound. But the point of this clip is kind of interesting because there was a piece of information in here that I did not know regarding the first time we attacked the Qaddafi's compound when Reagan was president and he was irked about the blowing-up of the nightclub in Germany

1:34:53 and then play this is even spot as a odd piece of information it's just a little subtle so there are a lot of parallels to the bombing they're going on now in libya tobacco that well there some bills certainly the fact that the uh... british forces uh... taxes compound that's a direct parallel ronald reagan's uh... uh... attack on libya involved a direct attack on could not get off his compound had got off he not been warned uh... ahead of time that the military attack was coming as indeed he was uh... he probably would have been killed along with a lot of members of his family some people did die in that attack and Gaddafi basically piped down there was a prelude to this bill it should be remembered and that was that Gaddafi was making all kinds of extravagant claims about the extent of his territorial waters

1:35:41 uh... and the northern part out of from his northern border into the mediterranean claims that were rejected by the united states and others, and we had positioned naval assets in the area and had been involved in some skirmishes with libyan forces to enforce our view of where the international waters were So we were already tangling with him when this Berlin nightclub attack that you mentioned occurred and it was in the aftermath of that, the US forces hit Gaddafi. They hit his compound and they had a number of other military targets and gave him a very serious bloody nose And I think President Reagan was trying to kill him He didn't succeed in killing him but Gaddafi for a time was pretty quiet We didn't hear much about him There's no more stuff about international waters That all calmed down

1:36:24 So I think i'm too young to, there's three things that caught in there. One is Qaddafi was warned Yes! That's the one Yeah What? Well he was...I never heard this before He was warned this time too He was warned by who? Well by Anderson Cooper Anderson Cooper said we're gonna come after you Wasn't that clear? I think this is just another part of the rig game. Duh! We're gonna make it look good, you gotta get out of there because we're going to bomb your place okay?! But... I mean this guy's meeting with McCain like just recently Yeah well McCain thinks he's an interesting fellow He thinks he's a good guy and uh... This is the worst kind of theater Because a bunch of innocent civilians are getting killed left and right Duh

Obama Secure Communication Tent in Brazil

A White House photo shows President Obama using a blue tent in Brazil as a mobile secure facility (SCIF) to discuss the Libya situation. The hosts mock the "high-tech" nature of a tent and transition into a discussion about expensive Manolo Blahnik shoes, which they describe as "porn for chicks."

barack obama· brazil· skiff· secure communication· manolo blahnik

1:37:17 Hey, you know what I thought was kind of funny is and this just start circulating today You know we all laugh about Gaddafi in his tent. Did you see Obama's tent? He's got a tent What he's got a tent when he was on it when he was hanging out in Rio And so that in the hotel they don't want to have all the secure communication So they have a tent outside and he sits in the tent. I mean It's not like a beautiful one like Gaddafi has it's just a blue tent But he's got a tent and that's where he makes all the secure phone calls from Really? Yeah, he's got a tent. He's got all these guys they all got tents What is this ten thing all of a sudden well here it is A rare photo released by the White House shows Barack Obama fielding calls from a tent in Brazil To keep up with the events and Libya The tent is a mobile secure area known as a sensitive compartmented information facility skiff

1:38:16 Designed to allow officials to have top-secret conversations and discussions while on the move. It does have an Arabian carpet though, it's kind of nice. It's got a little rug there And he's chilling out...it's a tent! It's a blue tent with it with a desk and a phone as paperwork Yeah, yeah, it's hilarious you have the photo?

Phone tapping and computer hacking sensitive compartment at information facilities which is what I have here by the way also known as skiffs there it is are protected areas where classified conversations can be held

1:39:05 In order to keep abreast of events, a mobile war room was set up in his hotel so he could hold the secure conference call with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Hillary! Did you get the Milano Blahniks yet? Get some for Michelle size 12 National Security Advisor Tom Donilon blah blah blah Robert Gates Michelle size 12 I knew yeah, I was waiting for you to catch on to that Call it doesn't make Manalo Blahnik doesn't make size twelve. It's ten wood for him That it's yeah well if he if he if we do it from a shell then I could get some for Mickey If I could afford them Do you see those things?

1:39:45 They're like $3,000. Like have some shoes- $3000! For a pair of shoes? They're not even shoes it's like some leather with a strap Why are they so expensive? Manalo Blahnik! It's a deal why why are Nikes expensive they don't cost a lot to make it's a brand and you're buying the brand You telling me that people are just buying the brand? Yeah there's gambling going on there It's this, this is the shoe that was made famous by Sex and the City. And it's like porn for chicks. Chicks just like they just get really I mean...I bet you even Rachel Maddow gets hot and horny about Manalo Blahniks. Even the name is sexy to them. Manalo Blahnik! Oh I'd just love to have a pair of Manalo Blahniks. It's like yeah well I love tranny porn They're like oh Manalo Blahniks same thing. Except tranny porn is cheaper if you're at the Japanese embassy

CHAPTER 38 / 45 Discussion

Allegra vs Zyrtec Orange Juice Ad War

A new Zyrtec commercial attacks Allegra by highlighting that Allegra cannot be taken with fruit juice. The hosts research the claim and find that fruit juice merely reduces the drug's absorption rather than being dangerous, concluding that the ad uses fear to manipulate consumers.

allegra· zyrtec· antihistamine· orange juice· advertising

1:40:43 Yeah, apparently the Japanese embassy loves that stuff. So I got a commercial that I thought was interesting Oh we love some good commercials John This is going to be the beginning of a trend It's a 30 second easy commercial to deal with. It's a commercial that attacks, well one product attacks another product Oh this doesn't happen often but when it does it is usually good and starts a war Well its interesting because this is an antihistamine thats attacking another antihistamine When it doesn't even actually attack the histamine For its contraindication you know in other words those long lists of why you shouldn't take the drug Oh ok lets listen to it

1:41:22 Allergies? You think I have allergies. You're sneezing! I'm allergic to you. Don't fool, you love me Hey, you can take Allegro with fruit juice What yeah, it's on the label Really here there's nothing about juice on the Zyrtec label what labels are meant to be read I'd be lost without you. I knew you weren't allergic to me You know you can't take Allegro with orange juice Really? FYI Get Zyrtec's proven allergy relief and love the air. What happens if you take orange juice with Allegra? I never heard of this before! Did you consult the book of knowledge? But it has got to kill the sales, you can't take orange juice with Allegra why?! Did you consult the book of knowledge? I did not consult the Book of Knowledge i just picked this up this morning Do not take Allegra with fruit juice Why!? Well...I'm just reading from allegro.html such as apple orange or grapefruit hmm what's a do

1:42:21 Let's see. Let's look it up this is oh, it's I think if it messes with your thyroid That doesn't sound healthy researchers Taking the drug with juice caused its test subjects to absorb only about 1 third as much of the drug as when taking It with water Oh Okay So it doesn't, it's not harmful so that this commercial makes it sound harmful when all it does is attenuates the potency of the drug. It makes us sound... Wow! Makes you sound like you're gonna kill yourself. Oh man! No take a juice or your gonna die! Your throat will swell up and you will no be able to breathe! Wow thats funny

1:43:05 Because we, I suppose we could anticipate this. You can't take it! So someone sent me a note the other day and said why do people take these drugs when you hear all of the side effects? We deconstructed this many times on the show time to bring it up again That actually encourages people to take it. This is why the really big letters smoking kills on the cigarette packages, it actually somehow in the human brain... It's like heheheh I can defy death! Yeah, it's like the apple thing you know? I gotta take that apple even though the serpent said not too

1:43:42 And it just works. Don't question the science of it all because that's what it is Otherwise they wouldn't do it, they'd be but look at every real fast But they don't they want to accentuate everything because people apparently loved it So let me just read you this this doesn't mean you should avoid juice all day Just give the Allegra enough time to get into your system You can drink all the orange juice you want how much time? Is that four hours a Well this is interesting because this could start, it's like hey man you shouldn't be taking that cause you know that could cause anal leakage. That'll be funny if people started... That was what I was thinking when i heard this commercial the first thing you can do as you can started cuz you know all these uh these lipitor and all these different kinds of.. They could cause anal leakage! They all have slightly different contraindications

CHAPTER 39 / 45 Discussion

CNN Pro-Train Propaganda and High-Speed Rail

CNN's Sandra Endo produces a segment comparing Amtrak to air travel, which the hosts characterize as blatant pro-train propaganda. They point out the omission of travel time to stations and the "me time" giggle in the report, suggesting the piece was funded by high-speed rail interests.

cnn· amtrak· high-speed rail· propaganda· transportation

1:44:33 Just enough so that you could have exactly that commercial which I would expect oh, man You better wear Pampers if you're gonna take yeah cuz the other a newly. I am gonna be I have a commercial which is a long commercial and It's actually from CNN it's not really uh it's not billed as a commercial But it's a commercial and I and I was just so blown away because of course a lot of well We might as well just Where is it? I can't find the midnight play this all aboard trains good planes bad Every single day in the news, you know We've got states not want to take the high-speed rail money States that do want to take the high speed rail money. We got Atlas Shrugged coming out Which will be all about high speed rail of course

1:45:21 uh... so what do you gotta do what it was to watch the hill and nolton to do when when you've got a convinced the stupid slaves to go tell their representatives to get trains we're gonna do john what are you going to do all while you have a plane crash but they can't seem to do that or are you could just do comparison between trains and planes now compare so would be good gap well-suited wayway way stop that can work because Everybody, I mean planes are more modern. They're the future they're the way to go and trains are really 17th 16th 7th I guess 18th century 19th century technology old funky things that are great for moving you know huge amounts of traffic of cargo but they're not for moving people there their idiotic actually at this point in history well you are one silly slave my friend John C Dvorak huh

1:46:14 You have no idea how efficient and comfortable and great, slow trains are compared to planes. Riding the rails or flying the skies? This is not a race but a test in satisfaction. So right off the bat this is NOT A RACE! It's a test in satisfaction. From Washington DC to New York City and the good thing about the Northeast Corridor is that travelers can either take the train or plane to get there, and on this leg we're taking Amtrak Xela And by the way note in this she's not showing any of the bull crap of getting to the train station finding a place to park with the cost of the taxi or whatever you get none of that! We just step onto the train as if we've transported teleported magically from our home

1:47:00 Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. With a ticket to ride get on board and choose your seat There's a cafe car if you're hungry free Wi-Fi if you need it And a quiet car for some peace Why do you choose the train rather than plane? The first year I moved to DC from New York City I did the plane and I ended up on the tarmac four hours on end I like the fact that... It gets better The trains aren't late The trains aren't late. They're dependable. While traveling by train... What? Yeah, they're dependable! They're dependable. Pshh pshh. ...takes longer passengers say they don't want to pay more taxes to create high speed rail Travelers say the benefits of riding versus flying are enough It's cheaper but it's a lot more convenient I can arrive at the station five minutes before the train arrives instead of an hour or hour and a half earlier

1:47:52 Many train riders say they like how comfortable the ride is, how big the seats are. She has measuring tape she's measuring the seat now and in fact this space they get there's more than three feet from the seat in front of them and electronic devices are welcome to stay on you can walk around or not Just remember your stop. Alright, here's our final destination just under three hours later and we're here at the Big Apple. Alright three hours but it was so comfortable! Yeah I was from Penn Station to Grand Central now let's go back I'm here at LaGuardia airport and we're going to go from New York back to the nation's capital. I'll be flying on a Delta shuttle, and now it's time to go through security Oh! Well you forgot all the securitee when you got off the train wasn't there a Viper team there? Here is a dedicated security line for shorter commuter flights but still those shoes have to come off It's really quick really convenient no complaints

1:48:57 Unlike most flights arrive early or late changing your shuttle flight is free of charge But frequent flyers say there is some unpredictability. It's tremendously variable based on the weather Based on the traffic this guy by the way looks like her colleague at the PR company totally he'd like a total PR douchebag and just about any other factor that can take from anywhere between an hour to three hours. Once we close the main cabin door, it'll be time to turn off and so all portable electronic devices... What are you gonna do if you have an important phone call? You can't get it while you're on the plane! Oh no! What are ya gonna do?! Sometimes that's an advantage uh.. To be out of touch for a little bit but

1:49:37 That is one of the downsides of flying. It's your me time! On flights there are more restrictions, smaller luggage bins and... Did she just laugh? Did she just giggle?! Yeah Yeah, she giggled. Right in the middle of the piece of the package she giggled? She's getting paid for this. Narrower seats... And she is measuring the seats! The little perk on this short flight free beer. We landed here in Washington DC just an hour and 15 minutes since takeoff so ride or fly it all may come down to the distance if you even have an option Sandra Endo CNN Washington Alright Sandra Endos F U

1:50:16 Chill how did she get this pass on I got a great idea. I have it's amazing idea I'd like to do a piece where I compare our flight trains two planes This is really good um by the way, I think the US High-Speed Rail Association will buy some airtime if we do this peace This peace which are me time? This is news uh... i think that's a clip of the day it's uh... it so and meanwhile here's what happens with your trains get my nation east uh... the report actually says southwest trains used to take these stands accused of attempting to provide more seating on its service between london in portsmouth by sports but this huge place very important uh... train line this by simply reducing the width of seats to such a degree they're only suitable for commuters without elbows

Louis Farrakhan YouTube Scam Removal

A video of Louis Farrakhan's comments on Libya was removed from YouTube for allegedly being a "scam." The hosts note that mainstream right-wing talk shows began running the clip a day after it was featured on No Agenda, highlighting their role in breaking the story.

The YouTube page says this video has been removed because it was probably a scam. What? A scam?! By the way, although it was an edited down version which is what I was recommending not that I didn't like the clip

1:52:05 everybody on all the right-wing talk show ran that clip on Monday which was of course after our it was a Monday afternoon which was over 24 hours after we had discovered it. Right, of course and i thought that was hilarious yeah well it was good now I have an end of show clip that we can either play now or replay at the end of show uh... what will do to the end of the show what would just tell me where there's a queue up its the well I don't have my list but is the guest in it's the I'll tell you who it is, and it's probably on the clip there. It's Daniel Hannan from the EU he's one of the EU Parliament members and a conservative. Yeah Britain in the EU is the clip I guess? Yeah and he uh... of course does not quite as uh... He's not Nigel Farage but he just is a classic I think its support tense for what's gonna with the EU or what Britain starting to think they want to get out

Michelle Obama White House Garden and Monsanto

Michelle Obama hosts a planting event for the White House Kitchen Garden but a spokesperson clarifies it will not be certified organic. The hosts joke that Monsanto seeds from visitors like Donald Rumsfeld would contaminate the garden and note that Monsanto's own cafeteria reportedly avoids GMO foods.

1:53:07 of the EU. He talks about this, they want to get out and they want to re-establish a kind of mutual some sort of an arrangement with Canada the United States Australia New Zealand is some sort not if the old Commonwealth by any means but some sort group of english-speaking like minded people that can do better work if we're working with each other rather than with the EU who he condemns. Nah, sounds like an end of show clip for sure That's what I was thinking that why I said it was in the show clip March 17th, First Lady Michelle Obama along with school children from Bancroft and Tubman elementary schools joined forces for the third planting season of the White House Kitchen Garden yesterday. And this was a nice news event. Family members and others need to know what you are learning emphasized the first lady we want you to pass this information on especially go home and get your parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles to cook some vegetables and make sure you're trying new things

1:54:10 A lot of times they won't try to cook new things because you won't eat them. Asked if the garden, now in its third season would be certified organic a spokesperson said no we're not going to go there Why? Because you can't get your garden certified organic anymore because of the Codex Alimentarius it's impossible but actually say I know we're not gonna go there No we really don't want to go there because no one can get its certified organic Because he had this probably Monsanto, you know whenever Ted Rumsfeld comes to visit his Monsanto seeds are falling out of his hair and contaminating the White House kitchen garden. We're not gonna go there? He actually said that?! Yeah! Who?? It says a spokesperson... Spokes-hole unfortunately yeah we don't know And I don't know if this is new news or old news I thought i'd heard this before Oh it IS old news... crap

1:55:10 Monsanto confirming they don't have any genetically modified food in their company cafeteria. Is that right? Yeah, there's a little notice uh... advising customers as far as practical gm soya and maize has been removed from all food products served in our restaurant we have taken steps to ensure that you are visitor can feel confident in the food we serve but taking out all their own crap well they don't kill your old people at it a little of months and over that everybody good job guys you kill me

Senators Attack DUI Checkpoint Apps

Senators Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid, and others are pressuring Apple to remove apps that alert drivers to DUI checkpoints. John C. Dvorak argues in his column that these apps actually make people drive safer and that the government is overstepping by interfering with mobile commerce.

Also not everybody wants to know about checkpoints because they're drunk because they don't want to sit in a line and go through a checkpoint being treated like a criminal They're nice to avoid. And then if you want to take this to the next level which is what i think they are trying to do here which is interfere government interference with actual commerce by buttoning on apps I think that what do they do about the apps that show you where the speed traps are? Oh, that's next. Speeding kills more people than drunk drivers do! That's next That's next we're talking about that's next.

He advocates for the UK to leave the EU and form a closer organic union with other English-speaking nations like the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand based on shared values and history.

daniel hannan· european union· sovereignty· david cameron· commonwealth

2:03:36 It's kind of interesting, you can play it until you get bored of it. I also have the Obama rationale for something or other which I thought was kind of amusing... Let's do something amusing! I just want one last clip to get at him. Well I think Obama mumbling about stuff is kinda funny Okay let's listen to that then Here we go We will continue to support the efforts to protect the Libyan people But we will not be in the lead. That's what the transition that I discussed has always been designed to do when this transition takes place, it is not going to be our planes that are maintaining the no-fly zone

2:04:13 It is not going to be our ships that are necessarily involved in enforcing the arms embargo. That's precisely what the other coalition partners are gonna do, and that's why building this international coalition has been so important because it means that the United States is not bearing all of the costs." "...did confirm today that more than 64 fighter jets are spending about as much as 20... and i think that's the same guy he even tricked you is the same guy right here isn't it uh... uh... trickery and then uh... instead of so i was so we'll finish this job with the britain clips of people should stand by at the end and there which which is a little guy conservative from england kind of they he's in aspen at some meeting their having uh... where the british are kinda deconstructing our

2:05:08 our situation in the United States, but essentially they're there to whine about the EU and what they really like to see. And I think it's kind of an interesting... I think it's interesting because I think they're thinking along the lines that this guy is thinking at least in the Conservative Party of the UK. And after that Mr Oyls crude show on Noah Jenna Stream dot com for those of you listening remember we've got Noah Jenna News Network dot com rocking out there And some upgrades coming to that again in the next week or two, but already a lot of producers signed on and helping out That's highly appreciated Stay tuned for all of that and remember to help us out vorac.org slash A company you've written under I'm sorry go ahead and don't forget to check your email boxes and right onto your spam filters and pull that Email we sent out about the 300 Club

2:06:00 Here at the crackpot command center in the watchtower thingy. In my tent! My tent in the rain I'm Adam Curry And curiously, the rain has now ceased after... Basically barely here this show because of this pounding rain and here in northern Silicon Valley where it's wet. I am John C. Dvorak We will talk to you again on Sunday for early morning service right here on NOAgenda In the UK, you've just had a conservative government. Where are you going with that? Are you going to get less Europe, less welfare state? Well we are making some sensible welfare reforms as probably the single best thing that new government is doing

2:06:47 But the government has run up again and again against the reality of its EU treaty obligations. It finds that even the smallest domestic reforms turn out to be against some EU directive or other. So last week, David Cameron had this big idea who's... The one thing he says he wants to be remembered for which he calls The Big Society and it'll be familiar in its theory to an audience like this if not in his specifics His idea is that there is a space between the state and the individual, the sphere of civic society in churches and charities. And they should be doing loads of things that the government is currently doing. Brilliant idea! We would all agree with that conservative libertarian. He was going to fund this transition by using money that has gone unclaimed in bank accounts for 25 years or something. In other words it's forgotten just sitting there and currently isn't doing anything

2:07:43 The day before he announced the policy, he was told that that was against EU law. Now my point is not that you should or shouldn't be able to access defunct bank accounts it's what the devil does this have to do with the European Union? How did that become a cross-border issue And this is what we've come up against again and again. I mean, I discovered the other day that I am obliged by EU law to keep my children in car seats when I drive them around until they reach the age of 12! I had been looking forward to discarding the wretched yoghurt-encrusted blobs at a much earlier stage than that

2:08:20 I speak obviously of the car seats, not of the children. Now some of you might think that makes me a very irresponsible dad but the point is whichever side of that you're on how did it ever become an international question that the EU had to decide on and then impose uniformly on half-a-billion people? That's the kind of issue here that your state legislators would decide or not even your federal ones and yet in Europe its decided at international level and thats the basic problem More than 80% of our laws are coming from Brussels, from people that nobody has voted for. This is the opposite of your system! Your constitution was based around the dispersal of power, freedom of citizen, maximisation of democracy... The EU was based on

2:09:02 Line 1 of Clause 1 of the opening treaty of Rome on the ever closer union, i.e., on centralization of power and from that basic design flaw flow all of the problems I look forward to the day when United Kingdom becomes an independent country we have a vote on this voters are confident my countrymen will reestablish their sovereignty And I look forward to our forming a closer non-governmental but genuine organic union with other English speaking peoples Because when we have looked at the greatest threats to freedom of the last few hundred years, and we look who defends them it's the same countries whose names keep coming up again and again. United States, United Kingdom Canada Australia New Zealand

2:09:48 And that to me, that is a genuine union based on speech, on law, on history and on affinity of values. Not on governments or treaties or trade I think we would be much happier people if we rediscovered our global location and our ancient friendship with you. Let me emphasize that Anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not a matter of weeks. Detective Dookie! Detective Dookie! Poop Police! SPU, Special Poopers Unit.
