Good to see everybody here for episode number 300. Hard to believe, but

04:19 When you look back on the body of work we've produced, John. Yeah, actually I've been working on this clip show. Yeah, it'll be ready when? End of the year? It's half over. It's half done. I have an hour and ten minutes. So is half the year. That's what I mean, it'll be done. So, what I've done is I've listened to all the clips from all the shows since the beginning and there's a lot of stuff that we've come up with over the years that we've long since forgotten but it's still interesting in retrospect. But this is not a retrospective show. But let me tell you how crazy we are about our passion for doing this program. So yesterday, beautiful day here at the Hilltop Watchtower,

05:02 Bobby Eden is over and I'm not quite sure this must have happened when I was sick or something and I'm kind of back at like 90 95% now Mickey made some kind of like appointment that she was gonna photograph Bobby and and I'm like, you know, and these are like Good shots if you know what I mean And so I'm just kind of, yeah, I'm like enjoying the show. And then I get a text from John. He's like, oh, you got to turn on C-SPAN 1 right now. Douchebag Fest. It's the it's the correspondence dinner. You got to watch it. I'm like, dude, you know, I'm I'm I'm watching a photo shoot with Bobby Eden, the official porn star of the show. He's like, you can always watch that. Go watch the show. And I did.

05:51 How sad is that I went inside and like they're outside taking pictures. It's pretty compelling I mean both I mean you had a double you could have did you DVR Bobby Eden? No, but there's I mean I had the pictures, but I could have seen all this live stuff happening Yeah, it got worse and you can I was like okay? You know so then I'm like I'll go get some some some meat for hamburgers and I come back and they're both in the hot tub and I'm like, I missed out. Did you jump in or what? I can't believe it. It's like, we're hungry now and they get out. Oh yeah, exactly. I'm like, oh you know these things come and go. I'm a loser. So, but we did see the douchebag show.

06:37 It was amazing. Holy moly. You know, it's, it's, so for people who don't know what this is and um, I don't, have they always put this on C-SPAN in the manner they did this time? I don't know, I don't think so. I don't remember it being this way last year. No, because usually it used to be kind of like secret and you'd see a couple clips, you know, here or there. Well no, they show, on C-SPAN last year, I know for a fact, and I think the year before, they showed the whole thing. They didn't show the red carpet douchebag. Right, that was what was so amazing is You know, and by the way, could Wolf Blitzer be more of a douchebag? The guy's just like, so they had this red carpet. And the deal is, this is like the White House correspondence, and they get their one shot a year and they get to dress up and they get to be celebrities. But of course, they already feel like they're celebrities and they get a red carpet and everything and they get a rubber chicken dinner and they all get to hang out and laugh. And typically, by the way, this is where most presidents

07:33 humiliate themselves in front of the press corps. Yeah and also they have somebody that humiliates them. But this was just the op this was ridiculous. It was like wow wait a minute all he's did the president is up there using this to slam Obama I'm to slam a trump Bach Bach man everybody and then yeah, and she's slamming Bach many slamming polenti slamming and then he goes off on Trump like was like hey does Trump get to go up there? Why was why was Trump even there? Oh, that's the thing that got me. I think he was set up. Yeah, it must have been. When I was watching the douchebag parade. With Wolf Blitzer like not moving away from the cameras. Like, yes, I'm here and blah blah blah. Hanging out with his hot sidekick chick or whatever. Now I think she's one of the newer CNN anchors. He's probably Boner.

08:26 Wolf he was all dressed to the tens I didn't realize but you can really tell that yes is a full throat beard which is like total douchebag from long Yeah, yeah, he always missing was a cravat. He had a time array But so we're watching this thing and so here comes Trump cuz plowing through is with someone and I'm thinking the hell's he doing there he's not a correspondent or anything so I did some little research and two things that kind of stood out is that apparently they guess that White House gets so many people they can invite and all these press guys they get a bunch of people they can invite Trump was I believe set up and brought in by the Washington Post

09:08 He was a guest of the Washington Post. Right, that makes sense. So they said, hey Trump, would you like to come and be our guest? And then I know some other screwy guests. They had a bunch of actors and actresses. For example, what's the name of the guy that was married to Courtney Cox? David Arquette. David Arquette was there douching it up. Douching it up. He was. Did you see the NPR table? No, the NPR table was way in the back. Oh, no, the NPR table had my favorite ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice. Oh, that's typical. Yeah, I had David Byrne from Talking Heads, very typical for NPR, and also Michael Stipe from REM.

09:55 Like really? Really? These are people you're gonna bring? Meanwhile there's journalists that should be at this thing, it's a journalist event and meanwhile they screw you, screw you journalist writers. You can shove it. Shut up. Who bring in actors. In fact USA Today instead of bringing in some of their own writers they brought in David Arquette. Yeah, that's unbelievable. And then the one that really got me though, apparently the White House didn't have enough invites for Eric Holder. Really? So you try to guess what kind of connected to the White House news organization might... Let me think. Could it be ABC? Exactly. You gotta get Holder in here. Holder needs a ticket. And then, you know, we have a saying in the music business, we may have discussed it on the show before, if you can't cover it up, turn it up.

10:50 And I think that's what's going on here with this whole birth certificate thing. It wasn't even funny anymore. It was so stupid. Ladies and gentlemen, the president, there's another like, I'm an American USA, and jets flying. And, you know, flyers waving on the screen over and over and over and over again. By the way, I, you know, so I think by now we can all we can all pretty much agree that that this this long form birth certificate is bogus. You know, for whatever, I mean there's a million different reasons but I discovered one which I hadn't even seen and you know when they throw it in your face you know that it's, you know, then it's like the final nail in the coffin for this thing. The name of the registrar who signed this birth certificate, U.K.L. Lee. U.K.L. Lee? Ukulele? Yes, exactly! U.K.L. Lee. Like, ukulele, really? You're gonna throw it in my face like that?

11:52 Well, you know that we got a number of emails from people telling us that they've deconstructed the PDF file and say it's a conglomeration of a bunch of different things. A million different... We won't even deal with it. I'm not interested. I think, you know, I still... I don't care one way or the other at this point, but he was probably... you know, he's probably... they probably never had... had any good records, who knows, and they cobbled some piece of crap together. But whatever the case was, I have two clips and they're both kind of long but I think they're worth playing at the beginning of the show because they're entertaining. One is Seth Meyers was the comedian and he did very few jokes about Obama. In fact, they were all kind of positive jokes where you're joking about, oh you're working so hard your hair is turning gray.

12:37 He sucked. Let's just make it as his saying he wasn't great. No, he wasn't. He was like one of those Saturday Night Live episodes. It was a total Saturday Night Live stand-up bit. But here is it I have the medley of his best material believe it or not. Which is about two and a half minutes three minutes. And it's a and there's a couple in here but what he goes after instead of going after Obama like you're supposed to do at these correspondence dinners as a joke. He He goes after C-SPAN, he goes after the hotel, he goes after, he does make one good joke about MSNBC and Obama's connection together, but that's still kind of a positive joke. Then he finishes with by going after Trump, and I only have part of the Trump bit on here. He starts off with, you know, I knew Trump was thinking of running as a, we didn't know if he was gonna run as a Democrat or Republican. I thought he was gonna run as a joke.

13:28 but i thought i thought i thought i thought i thought i can play this i think in the at least get the uh... the the the we get people to get into the feeling of them who did well remember there's a reason for this it's uh... That's right, we watched three and a half hours of douchebags to bring you three minutes of joy. It's so amazing to be in Washington DC, all this history, all these amazing buildings, and yet here we are at the Hilton. The red carpet outside was amazing. Who are you wearing? What does it matter? I'm going into a Hilton.

14:11 Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy they were at the Hilton because no matter how I do tonight, I'm earning Hilton honors points. You may not like these jokes, but I'll be laughing all the way to a free breakfast. Who told you I had birth certificate jokes? It was Assange, wasn't it? Is Biden still Vice President? Because if not, I'm down to like, thank you and God bless America. Now I can begin. It's an I am also honored to be performing for those of you here tonight, as well as the handful of people watching at home on C-SPAN. Hey, hey, hey, we got a shout out. Did you hear it?

15:00 Yeah, I know he shot it out for us. Yeah, that's nice. You should have said hey crackpot and buzzkill, but no C-SPAN is of course the official network for wide shots of empty chairs Every time I tune into C-SPAN it looks like they just had a fire drill C-SPAN is one unpaid electric bill away from being a radio station That's pretty amazing that listen to all these elitist jockstraps these jabronis Laughing about a C-SPAN. Why would you watch that? Because that's actually where you get news from. Douchebags. That's where we actually find out stuff that you don't report on because you read the crib notes. The cliff notes. People think Bin Laden is hiding in the Hindu Kush, but did you know that every day from 4 to 5 he hosts a show on C-SPAN?

15:54 C-SPAN is actually the biggest threat to the... I'm just realizing this. This is why this is happening. C-SPAN is a huge threat to these jerk-offs. Seriously. I mean, all you gotta do is just watch it and pay attention. If you watch it, it is. But who's... you know, they still do everything... I mean, they're denigrating it here. I mean, you know, this is not supposed to... I mean, C-SPAN is not the problem here that he should be, you know, essentially attacking. No. Do we have to listen to more of this? Because it's actually pretty bad. Keep going. I'm not complaining about C-SPAN mind you, I usually work on NBC so tonight I'm thrilled to be on a network that people actually watch. You made a joke about NBC. The show I projected on four screens right now makes me the third highest rated show on NBC.

16:51 They have shots of Trump, did you see that? Yeah, they had a lot of shots of Trump who was not laughing at anything. No, no. Comcast of course bought NBC this year, I'm assuming by accident. Or when Goldman Sachs cut up the network and bundled it in the lower trench of a CDO. These are so elitist. Oh my god. He actually references that in the follow-up here. It better end soon, I don't think I can handle it. Well you gotta get to the Trump part, it's only about three more gags. I figured this was the only room that joke would work and it only kinda did. They won't be joining me on the road. NPR is having a party but I'm sure it'll be pretty sedate. How wild can a party get when it's held in accordance with Sharia law?

17:43 Wow. It's what I was told. I of course am contractually obligated to attend the MSNBC party tonight. Everyone knows how the MSNBC party works. President Obama makes the Kool-Aid and everyone there drinks it. See, I told you. I told you that they all hate MSNBC. All these guys. They think, you know, the MS. The MS. Gary Busey said recently that Donald Trump would make a great president. Of course, he said the same thing about an old rusty birdcage he found. Donald Trump owns the Miss USA pageant, which is great for Republicans because it will streamline their search for a vice president.

18:34 One more. Donald Trump said recently he has a great relationship with the blacks, though unless the blacks are a family of white people, I bet he's mistaken. Wow, he really did get set up, didn't he? Yeah, and then, I mean, the weird thing about this is... Are they so afraid of him, is that it? I mean, they must be. I mean, why else do this? Well, listen, I also have the Obama... essentially a rant on... Yeah, we should probably... Well, actually Obama's timing is a little better than Seth Meyers, but Obama came up first. I'm not, I always thought it was the comic that came up and then the... No, Obama was first. Obama was first. Yeah, and I thought that was odd because he killed the, basically he had a bunch of jokes and he denigrated Trump to an extreme.

19:18 And then he goes on about the dead in Iraq and Afghanistan, which I was thinking if I was the comic that had to follow this, I'd say, what is this guy doing? He's killing the audience. And meanwhile, I was under the impression from the years past that the comic would come up first and then the president would come up and kind of, you know, blast the comic and blast the audience for laughing with him and all the rest of it, but this was just backwards. Well, it sounds to me or it feels to me like the SNL writers wrote Obama's jokes and just gave him all the best ones. I mean who else is writing this stuff?

20:06 this show or any actually most people when they do something like this they use a team of about three or four writers yeah I mean Obama's not sitting around writing gags no I mean he's not a gag writer and then there's plenty of people that are really good at it. The spokeshold Jay Carney actually said that on the most recent gaggle you know they have a gaggle on Air Force One and they said and someone asked you know it's a who's writing the jokes well I can't tell you that's National Security Yeah, which is bullcrap. This is a good by the way, then that is kind of a great example of what they actually do consider national security. Yeah, that's really keep that quiet. So anyway, if you if you Yeah, let's let's know Obama. This is the I thought was was on.

20:49 It also wasn't that funny, John. I mean, yeah, okay, but... Well, it was funny if you think about the fact that Trump is in the audience taking it and not given an opportunity to go up to the podium. I mean, this is ridiculous. It's like, you know, even with a roast, where you roast somebody, the roastee gets to go up last and blast everyone back. It was very weird. I mean, in the past, we've had, I mean, he even had that video about taking away the teleprompter. It was at the president's speech. They had like a spoof video because they all, the White House always does a video.

21:25 And in the past it's been like Barney the dog for Bush, but it's always kind of like puts the president down as a douche. But in this case, our president is a douche because they had all these outtakes of him, you know, like fumbling his his his weekly address. And it was real. There were real outtakes of him just not being able to speak. It was like, what? This is so... Because you know that idiot from West Wing, we put it together. It's like, what? This is so stupid. And that was very weird. It was very backward. And it felt like, you know, we just have to come out there and just humiliate everybody. And it's not... I don't think it's the intent of what this fine white Washington tradition is supposed to be. Michelle Bachmann is here, though, I understand. And she is thinking about running for president.

22:12 Which is weird because I hear she was born in Canada. You know, it's like, if you have these people, you know, there's making fun of your competitor or possible competitor is lame. It's just, you know, you just don't do it in business. It's dumb. I don't know. It doesn't feel right. Yes, Michelle, this is how it starts. Tim Pawlenty, he seems all-american but if you heard his real middle name Tim Hosny Pawlenty I didn't get that one Hosny Mubarak, Hussein Barack, Hussein Obama Hosny, it's a callback Oh my gosh, I didn't even get it I got it Oh jeez What a shame

23:09 My buddy, our outstanding ambassador, John Huntsman is with us. Now, there's something you might not know about John. He didn't learn to speak Chinese to go there. Oh no. He learned English to come here. Now stop guys, stop for a second. Now this is interesting. Yeah, this is very interesting because this never even made the mainstream news, this story. Yeah, I was watching one of the other shows and news shows, I think it was, I don't know if it was on C-SPAN or where, but anyway. And Haussmann's name came up as a potential presidential candidate. He's coming back from, he's the Chinese ambassador to China. He got kicked out is what happened. They kicked him out. Well, he got kicked out because apparently he was thinking of running or, I mean, I understand there's some connection between the fact that he's going to run for president, challenge the president.

24:05 And so he got kicked out and now he's like a contender in some way shape or form. And I didn't, this is like just dropped. For one thing, I don't think this is anybody has any consciousness of this. Well certainly not the news media. Well I was, when I first I heard it in the you know like the day before and then I heard Obama do this gag which is where he's trying to denigrate his opponents. I think he's trying to denigrate China. I think he's trying, it's a slam against China. No no this is about the opponents believe me, nothing to do with China. He is just, first he blasts Bachmann, then he blasts Polanyi, then he blasts, or blasts, or kind of, it's not even a good blast, just nudges him with this bull crap. And then he does the Hausman, then he goes and he hits

24:48 uh... romney and then he hits uh... trial that's the did the whole thing and that's always going to china it but i think that this guy's name is in the mix all of us and i think he's a red herring or some screwy about it more gotta pay attention to him that that's for sure there's vicious rumor floating around i think that really hurt mit romney i heard he passed universal health care when he was governor of massachusetts Someone should get to the bottom of that and I know just the guy to do it Donald Trump That's the MSNBC table cheering for their ratings. Thank you and Trump is here today. You know, I I guess I mean the kind of

25:40 uh... bill incest involved in the media the white house means it's sickening it is like why would you do i would you know trump was that i guess you know i guess i have to clear with of course he's a little over there it was a set up it was a sad i was a total set up but it's just yeah i would guess would do is obviously a setup i mean it wasn't as though he snuck in but uh... houses and listen to the rest of the night he's taken some flat lately But no one is happier, no one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the Donald. And that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter. Like, did we fake the moon landing? So, and this also really, this now is insulting me. Because of course we all know that we didn't land on the moon initially. We all know that. We don't all know that. Yes we do.

26:41 What really happened in Roswell? Yeah, well so... And where are Biggie and Tupac? Which is also interesting because that is a more recent that's kind of fired up again that Biggie and Tupac thing that they're still around or whatever. It's kind of weird. I didn't know that. Yeah, I was reading about it a week or two ago that's kind of flared up again. All kidding aside, obviously we all know about your credentials and breadth of experience. See, see, ah, I'm a dick. Hey, just play it. For example, um...

27:28 No, seriously, just recently, in an episode of Celebrity Apprentice at the steakhouse, the men's cooking team did not impress the judges from Omaha Steaks. And there was a lot of blame to go around, but you, Mr. Trump, recognized that the real problem was a lack of leadership. And so ultimately you didn't blame Little John or Meatloaf. You fired Gary Busey. And these are the kind of decisions that would keep me up at night. Well handled, sir. Right. Alright. So now I got to offset this bullcrap with some other stuff. So there's two things happening.

28:30 And I think it's a very viable possibility, although for Trump to take this humiliation, that's quite a way to go because I think there is a possibility for a follow-up to a new reality show that he could be working on. which would essentially be kind of like President Trump and he could actually have political, he could have Bachman come in and he could have the teams on how to save the country and it could be a bonanza, it would be a great show, right? Kind of a mix of celebrity, big brother, celebrity apprentice. I mean, it could be a really good setup for an amazing expansion of this celebrity apprentice format. However, I have two clips here.

29:09 And then the guy has an ego. So, you know, I don't I think he's not gonna let his his ego step out of the way and it's he's I mean he got punched his sucker punch during this one so he was in Vegas and I'm sure everyone has probably heard of or seen this clip where he's he dropped some f-bombs while he's talking to a bunch of people in Vegas Did you see any of that? No, I think I saw it as part of the Vegas thing, but I didn't see him where were his cousins. Oh yeah, well he was talking about China and he says, you know, I'm gonna... Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, this has been played a number of times. Go ahead and play it again. Right, so no, I'm not going to play it because I listened to the whole thing and the F-bomb was a distraction. I am now going to think that he is actually taking this serious because he is pandering to Israel.

29:56 And when you do that, then you're a serious candidate, I think. Because, you know, Barack Obama, every single president does this. You need the Israeli Jewish lobby to get elected. And he was playing to this big time, short clip. It's unbelievable. Oh, yeah. Think of this. We have a great ally over there, a real ally, Israel. And Iran has already said that they want to blow Israel off the face of the earth. They're developing nuclear weapons. Our leadership is weak and pathetic. I mean, we can't even beat Libya.

30:37 I love how he gets everything wrong. We can't even beat Libya. Iran says they want to wipe Israel. I mean, that's been debunked as that's not exactly what Iran said. But OK, Trump, keep going. Our leadership is weak and pathetic. So when Iran, which is really a power and going to be a great, great power very soon, especially when they take over a couple of more countries, they're going to have so much money and we don't do anything about it. And by the way, When they take over Iraq, there's no way we go back honestly because we won't have the stomach to go back We won't have the stuff you gotta say you gotta take the oil you gotta do it, but what's gonna happen to Israel? when you have Iran controlling probably Libya you have Iran controlling Libya, that's weird Well that does that's not I can see where he worries thinking that because there's a belief that some of the Iranian

31:34 Either some of the Iranian money is going into the into the protests or the rebels or whatever you want to call it. But that's, I don't think it's that weird. But you have to agree with me that the fact that he's pandering to Israel this way means he's really serious. I think he really wants to go for this. And then I have a clip from him on Bloomberg television And this is Donald Trump. This is the reason why I think he actually wants to run for President of the United States. On that side. I'm on the exact opposite side and to be honest with you,

32:11 I think it would be very, very bad for the Republican Party and a lot of other people because they did some polls recently where I hear I get 29% as an independent. That's a lot. That's far more than Ross Perot ever got. So I get all of these votes as an independent and I could also possibly win as an independent, otherwise I wouldn't do it. If I can't win, I'm not doing it for any other reason. Because I like winning I do you know I'm only in it for one thing and frankly if I ran as an independent I would if I didn't win be very negative to the Republicans and that disturbs He only wants to win that's they said they said it right there the whole reason I'm in this is to win so I think he's in it I think he's actually in it to win it and if he thinks he can win it he's gonna do it well, they took care of Ross Perot who thought you know they the

33:00 Yeah, I mean I got your your date here. It's a see I got it in the book hold on when I will April 21st Where I saw you said you think Trump's gonna run? I'm still saying no okay, and I'm sticking with my thinking which is and I have I'm actually writing his His when is the the final episode of celebrity apprentice? It's coming up. I don't know I have the speech I'm gonna write it and uh... read it on the show. His speech? Yeah. You're gonna write his speech and we're gonna present it before the actual episode. Yeah. Okay. I have it almost done. I could have presented it today but I messed up. No, I understand. I want to polish it up a little bit. There's a couple moments in there that don't sound Trump enough. Yeah, right. Now, dude, by the way, gold. Dude! $1,556 an ounce. I mean, yeah. It's one of these little predictions I make.

33:51 So four years ago. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, it's episode 300 and we have some people to thank how are we doing this because everyone who? Yeah, we have all of our 300 donors On one spreadsheet, which I want to read their names in order by country At the break at the donation break and in advance of that I would like to do this once it just donated a This last for this episode at this time, okay? so there's but everybody in this group is producers for this episode 300 and 300 club members obvious and 300 club members which will be posted on the website we probably opposed it off of one of the pages at

34:36 Noagendanation.com which is now up with... Yeah, in celebration of our 300th episode, yet another service to you. I was going to mention that in the PR segment, but Noagendanation.com is now up and it's got a store with some products I've never seen before. some cool... Eric wants to sell swords.

Anyway, so the... yeah, but he's got to... the thing I think is cool there, I don't know if it's running... You can manage your own account.

35:14 Well, as manage your own account is like, but the main thing is you can just hit a button and if you want to be a knight and you know, say you've given X amount of money, you hit the button, it'll tell you what you need, what's your balance. Oh, that's cool. So you can just say $288.43, you're a knight kind of thing. So I thought that was cool. Okay, let's go with some people that we want to thank. Jonas Astrom in Sweden, Vindelin. Guess hi guys with this donation.

If I can just interrupt for a moment.

42:07 Yeah, and from Italy and she's a little crackpot herself, right? She listens to the show Although she the kids hate it when she listens to no agenda in the car. They're Italian first of all, so it's you know, it's a it's a little difficult you have words like turgid and Abhorrent but she said but interestingly enough they like you better than me their uncle Yeah, they think you're funny. They don't like me at all and I think it's pretty not unusual anyway Willow said that there's a because you know she has her own little circle of conspirators in Italia when's the last time you heard of an a world leader or high-ranking elitist who died of cancer exactly exactly exactly and I went like wow

43:00 I hadn't thought of that. Yeah, I hadn't thought of that. So when I see you know, I see like leukemia, of course, I'm very happy for daughter Eliza, who's three years in remission, but I'm thinking this is like one in three people has cancer. But what are the odds that you never hear about a world leader or high ranking elite dying of cancer or even having cancer for that matter? Yeah, I was getting to it. Yeah. Uh-huh. Just saying. Taylor Stewart in Calabasas, California. To clear up previous confusion in my case, Taylor is a guy's name. More importantly, you guys saved my sanity this week. After two days of business meetings, listening to my employees and partners aggressively parrot mainstream bullcrap, like good little happy and distracted slaves, I was frustrated to the point of losing it. Oh no, no, no, no, you gotta calm down when that happens.

43:51 Laugh yeah, yeah, just look at him leave that Easy works Listening to your show during the cross-country trip back home saved me. Yes.

44:51 So we will have a couple of nightings and a daming later on today during the show which I feel will probably go a little extra long particularly because we have a lot of names to thank for our 300 Club. Well it's nice that Eric grouped them by country. That's kind of cool to see. Down Under is still big on the list actually. Yeah, they're number two. Big thanks of course to Sir Jeff Smith who did a special beautiful acoustic version of the In The Morning song and he set up a page especially for those of you who have always wanted the up-tempo version of that as well as the Gitmo Nation National Anthem.

Well, he's been there from the beginning almost, hasn't he? Almost from the beginning he's been making jingles for us. Yeah, well, actually what happened, I remember the story. So it was around, I don't know, within the first 20 or 30 episodes. You and I discussed this. You said, you know, Jeff Smith, I know Jeff Smith, he wants to do some jingles. I think he sent us an email. And he asked us to come up with ideas.

46:22 Oh really? I don't remember that part. And I said, well I can come up with a couple, you know, I don't even know what, I maybe had a couple ideas and you had maybe an idea or two and then he just, I think he finally said screw these two idiots, I'll just come up with my own. I'll come up with a couple of things. And it just kept on going, of course we have the entire sequence.

They make them their clutch cars a funny story from Gary and Gilroy And you'll know why what it's about when I get to this. Adam, I work for a city government in Gitmo Nation, Silicon Valley. The city is making a lot of cuts due to the economy. While at home, I logged into my work email. There was a memo from the city manager concerning unacceptable activity while in city uniform. The memo was actually addressed to all city slaves.

47:42 Went ballistic and drafted a reply that would have surely gotten me fired thankfully at the last moment I remembered I was on my home computer and the no agenda bullshit filter turned on You got to be very careful about this And that thing is expanding. I've seen it myself. I'm like someone sent me a link from like a What was it? It's great like the drudge report He said the drudge is listening to the show because here they say PBS the National Treasure spelled T R a y s u r e and then I was like wow yeah, they must be listening over there and the guys oh wait I had the bullshit filter turned on like okay Anyway, be careful with that thing, but it's always fun to install on someone else's computer also forwarding to the show now nut nibblers calm Thank you very much

49:53 Long story and our associate executive producer Michael Hagar everyone else. Thank you so much for listening You have a job to do what's propagating the formula. Let's go out and do it our formula is this We go out we hit people in the mouth It's one more thing about This birth certificate. Valerie Jarrett, oh I hate that woman. She was at the event. Oh there was a good, if anyone wants to check something out, I don't have the link in front of me, but the Washington Post had a great photo essay of the different after parties. And by the way, the MSNBC after party seemed to be the big one.

50:45 what's a Palin was there oh really of all things the whole thing and and what's her name the Palin's Bristol Bristol Sarah I mean this is ridiculous this is like a this is just like a critical mass it just is really douchebag show business for ugly people how often I have to say it's ridiculous I mean this whole event and by the way I didn't see any of the hot Fox news anchors around they don't get to go it's really the ugly douchebags who get to go they don't bring the hot chicks They had, I saw O'Reilly sitting next to some producer. Right, ugly douche. And she was sitting next to Dennis Miller. Dennis Miller? I didn't see any of those Fox women. I'm telling you. Valerie Jarrett, who is this mysterious woman, slumlord from Chicago, who basically is the President's handler.

51:37 You'll see her sitting everywhere. President, Vice President, Jarrett. She's actually on the other side of the President as the Vice President. So she's really a big kahuna. She gets on the Joe Madison Show, morning talk show. And well, you know, just need to all shut up about all this stuff because of course, Now, is Trump now saying, oh, we need to see his college records? Which I also don't understand why that's been closed off to the public. But whatever, I don't give a crap. But what she says is very interesting. We're not going to see the president releasing transcripts, are we? Now, look, we know this is nonsense. Okay. He's almost 50 years old. Thank you. And he's President of the United States, and I don't think anybody would debate his intelligence. Really?

52:25 That's kind of, uh, really? So that's what it is? Shut up? Shut up slave. He's 50. He's president the United States. We don't have to debate his intelligence. So now we do need to get serious. That's an example of where yeah, let's just get serious and get back to focusing on what's important. Yeah, I'm not releasing my transcript. I don't think you're gonna release yours. No, I am not. And I don't think the president should release his. Call it, let's call it a day. Let's call it a day. Let's call it a day. Let's call it a day. Douche. Baguette so I have a I just wanted to get one clip out of the way. Are you eating? No, I'm sorry. I'm not eating I heard I heard silverware on a plate and I heard you smack Okay, I had a piece of grapefruit told you great food during the show. Yeah told you

53:21 Alright, so I had one clip that I wanted to get out of the way because we didn't do a post-mortem on the royal wedding. Oh, really? We've just gone through douchebags and baguettes at the White House? We have to do the royal wedding? Really? Yes, we have to do it because I've got the most insightful analysis by John Oliver who was on the Daily Show. Really? This better not be a long clip. Oh, jeez. 120, I can handle it. Hello, London. Guess who's back?

53:59 Just hours from now all eyes will be on Britain and no one is more excited for this spectacular event than the British people themselves. Why do we need the royal wedding? I think it makes a bit of a mockery of our country, I think it's a bit of a charade. I think in the current economic climate I find it slightly distasteful that we are paying as the public for part of the wedding. I think it's utter f***ing f***ing bollocks and it's a f***ing abortion it should never happen it shouldn't cost us a penny if it has to happen but i don't need to see this f***ing sh** having said that it's a magical day and we're all looking forward to it right mate? no

54:36 But real quality English people like friend of the royal family Victoria Mather are having none of that utter f***ing bollocks. I think the British tax payers being very mean and moaning about paying for this wedding. I mean it's a privilege isn't it? And people are already excited, I mean just look at all of these idiots. Yes, they are excited because they're seeing something which is glamorous in which they aspire to. Right. I prefer to be paying for the royal wedding and cleaning the streets afterwards and for all the security than to be paying for illegal immigrants to claim benefits and live in sink estates. Why not make it a race issue? Yes! Why not? Why not? Oh my god. You know, something much more abhorrent. You remember the love police?

55:22 Remember that guy? I think we played a clip from him in the past. Yeah, they arrested him. Yeah, so this is the guy in advance of the wedding. Yeah, so this is he was gonna hold up a sign or something. Yeah, this is the guy who goes out and hugs the police and uses a megaphone and essentially exercises his right to free speech. He got a knock on the door. They had that much of a right to free speech in the UK. No, they don't. So his girlfriend who she's only in the video briefly, but she looks kind of hot. She films the cops coming to the door and coming to arrest him. And it's just a little interesting piece. There's two things I found, three things I found interesting in this. It's a very long clip, you can look at that in the show notes, there's a link to it. But here's a little, a couple of snippets from it. Just bear with me one moment. This is the cop at the door, he's going to now arrest him. What's the issue?

56:15 Okay, Mr. Beach, I'm arresting you as there are reasonable grounds to suspect that you conspired with others to cause public nuisance in relation to the royal wedding. Oh, this is just anarchist. That's great. We're arresting you on grounds of conspiring to disrupt the public order. Really? It's called a protest and that's why he's getting arrested. It's really crazy that this is happening in 2011. You're also under arrest on suspicion of aggravated trespass at Fortman and Mason in Piccadilly, London which occurred on Saturday 26th of March 2011 where you've been identified by witnesses as being present.

57:00 Your arrest is necessary for a prompt and effective investigation of these allegations. I need you to come with me to Parkside Police Station, please. It's okay, what do I do? So, I would suggest if it's alright with you, if we come in, you can get yourself dressed, you can get whatever you need, mobile, wallet, etc. and come down to Parkside with us immediately. Do you have any evidence for the claims you're suggesting? There is. He's marked as wanted on P&T by the Metropolitan Police. He's marked as wanted! He's marked as wanted! We want him! So, uh, they come in and they have these cameras on their uniforms, John. They've got these little... and it says CCC TV or CCTV and they have...

57:37 cameras on their uniforms he actually says it that's not the case okay could you guys please wait outside no I have to come in because you're under arrest you are in my custody okay sorry I'm sorry thank you very much just to make you aware that I am actually filming you inside my car so is so they have these little CCTV cameras which is kind of interesting Interesting because you're not allowed to film that. Well, she did ask permission. They said yes, but you know that lots of people have been arrested for filming the police In Gitmo Nation East and get arrested for that gay in Maryland. Yeah, I'm sorry It's everywhere in Gitmo Nation, but now they're filming back and and now this I like this girl because she she just kind of lays it out there and these guys are like

58:24 Have you seen this video, John? Because they can't be older than like 22. No. Maybe 23. I mean, and they're probably the good lads, you know, but they're just like drones. Lads. Yes, lads. They're like, yeah, MK Aldred. I think as you both know, Charlie's an activist and him and I and many people were political activists. I studied politics at Cambridge actually. It was obviously a foundation of our country that we have the right to protest and that's not against the law. Now, Charlie's my boyfriend.

59:02 Know for well that there's absolutely no evidence of him doing anything that's against the law It's not the way that we work we get on with the police very well We call the love police we specialize in giving the police hugs so the guy's expression is is priceless when she says that he's like Really could you come over here with those little puppies and I need a hug right now we like good relationships with the police and Charlie went to the Met the other day and said, you know, we we're not we don't cause violence It's not what we do, but we engage in free speech and that's why he uses a megaphone and not weapons like what you guys carry Very good point. So he uses a megaphone not like the weapons you had because you know the cop the Bobby's now Don't just have like sticks. They got guns and mace and all kinds of stuff. These guys are loaded megaphone and

59:52 You're acting on orders but you want to be very careful that you're not breaking the law here because you're about to arrest this man. He's already under arrest. Okay, you've arrested this man and there is absolutely, I know there is absolutely no reason for this to be happening. And here it comes. Yeah, apparently he shows he's wanted. But yesterday he was megaphoning and they said no he's not wanted. Of course he's not wanted, he's not a criminal. Sylvia can you please go on Facebook and let him know? I don't have Facebook. Yeah, very good. Guy, I'm worried about you too as individuals that because you're doing things which I know if you were acting of your own accord you wouldn't do and that makes me feel that you're slaves.

1:00:38 I love her. You're slaves! And they're like, what? I'm not, I'm just doing my job, ma'am. I'm just doing what they told me. That's what the Germans all said. We didn't know, just doing what we were told. Wir haben es nicht gewusst. That's exactly what the Nazis said. Now congratulations everybody. So that of course is not making the mainstream news in the oh so joyous United Kingdom. What a puppet show. So I watched the wedding. No, you did not. I did too. It's our job. I don't know why you refuse to do it. I didn't say I didn't. Did you get up at four o'clock in the morning? And look, I have a woman here. Yeah. And the woman needs to see the thing. Well, I didn't watch it live. Now Mickey's like.

1:01:31 She looks so understated This is where you have to watch out in a relationship is when you have like the royal wedding and you know You're a no agenda person and you just want to like throw your boot you throw your Ugg boot at the screen You know your woman is like oh, it's romantic And you know you just kind of like bite your tongue because you don't want to ruin that moment. You don't wanna go like elitist dipshits Well a couple of things dad archbishop needs his eyebrows trimmed. Oh my goodness. He could like float a pencil on that thing It was unbelievable. I mean get buddy. Yeah, like really got a clue get some grooming tips He's I wonder how much hair is coming out of his ears. Oh

1:02:13 That's so funny and then it's like and and and then the other dude comes over with the big hat and the bigger hat And they take the hat off and put the head on okay here, so you did watch it you of course I just told you that so I got a couple a couple of questions for you I'm gonna here's an ask Adam. Oh my goodness hold on a second. I was unprepared It's been so long since we've done an ask Adam. Let me see if I can find one that is appropriate I don't have a royal ask Adam, but we'll just go with the Ask Adam. Ask Adam. Ask Adam. Ask Adam. Yeah, well, go ahead. Okay, sounds like the guy's gonna throw up after he does that one. A grunge band. Okay, here we go.

1:02:58 So they do this, they go, blah blah blah, they put the thing around him and then they all get up and then a group of them, the bride and groom and a group of Pippa and a few other people go into the, if you're looking at the altar area. Pippa, I love, chicks named Pippa are awesome. Any chick named Pippa is just okay in my book. So they go into the right-hand door as you look at the altar and they all go in there and then there's nothing happens and they play some songs. And so then the group of people without the bride and groom come out the same door and we wait. And then the bride and groom come out the other door to walk down the aisle and leave. What was that all about? They're all doing blow off a hooker's belly button. That's what they're doing behind the door.

1:03:53 Jello shot I think jello shot was going on back there. I don't know I didn't see that I'm British thing do they have to inject him with some fluid or they? Act have to take place or I mean what goes on back there what and nobody says anything where they're showing it not not one commentator who commented on what they're doing in the back there I don't know man I really don't know. Well I was curious about it. You know they were taking bets on everything at this wedding? The bookies in London do anything they can. They were betting on like for example the Queen's hat, what color it was going to be. How about Posh Spice's hat? What an abortion that was. Some of those hats were unbelievable. But the Queen's hat, odds on were it was yellow and they actually had betting on who was going to be the first one to cry and guess who won? I don't know who.

1:04:43 John Boehner Wow wow I can't remember I I remembered to set you up for that one a Long road John always gives me like okay. I'm gonna set you up for this one and this kind of sucked But not as bad as usual that was okay. It's always gonna suck. Yeah, let me now I have something that'll just be so much fun to listen to I As you know I'm always out there looking for what's going on in the world of choo-choo trains all aboard trains good Now So, you know, I subscribe to the RSS feed of the US High-Speed Rail Association who have their own little website website now this of course is the the shill and

1:05:39 Organization that is trying to steal all this money to do all this crazy crap for trains that we don't need which will only benefit Barkshire Hathaway and other people who actually Bill Gates apparently owns a large chunk of the railroad as well of some I don't know which freight outfit he owns CX CTS maybe CSX yes, thanks man So they've got this clip home page and And Andy Kuntz, who he looks exactly the way his name sounds, Andy Kuntz, is on Fox Business I think, or the Varney Show, is that Fox Business? Maybe, Stuart Varney? Maybe, I don't know. And so they have this listed as Andy Kuntz promoting high-speed rail. I'm like, okay, this will be a puff piece, but it's the biggest fail in the world.

1:06:31 And I can't believe that these guys are so brazen to actually put this on their website like it's a good score for high-speed rail because I have to say this Stuart Varney guy, who's a Brit, totally nails the guy and it's just one hilarious moment after another. And you can hear the entire elitist agenda from the get-go. It's good to be here. Here's where I'm coming from. You cannot build a high-speed rail system in the United States. It will take you decades, if not a half century. And that delay adds to the cost, making it wildly over-expensive. And you say?

1:07:09 Well, it took us 40 years to build our interstate highway system. It's a big infrastructure project. It's the 21st century. We need to do it and we need to get going on it. We need to do it. We just need to do it. Shut up. We need to do it. We got to get going on it. This is this is this is how he starts off. I'm like, this will be interesting. I believe they keep up on that. I mean, the fact that this high speed rail Listen to Varney, because he basically has all of our talking points. So you agree with me that you can't build it within a period of decades, literally. I presume you also agree with him that the longer the delay, the greater the expense, and therefore we cannot afford it.

1:07:51 We have to build it. I mean, I don't know what else we're gonna have for a transportation in 20 years from now What do you mean? This is this is already a done deal. We have to build it I got the president. I got Oh Biden. I got a George W Obama everyone's on board. What are you talking about? We have to build it. What's your problem Varney? What's wrong with the highways? What? I'm sorry, system, what's wrong with that? They're dependent on oil that's spiraling out of control and price. So your position depends entirely on the ever-rising cost of fuel which we, you say we cannot afford but we can afford to build a wildly expensive high-speed rail system that will take decades to put in place. So this guy is actually saying it's because of the spiraling cost of oil that we have to build trains which apparently run on

1:08:43 Water magic. Yeah, total magnetic magic or something like that Really? It's actually would cost the entire national system would cost about one quarter of what we spent on the interstate highway system So it's actually not wildly expensive. It's a big infrastructure project covering 17,000 miles, of course, it's going to be expensive anything we do that size is going to be expensive Okay, do I have to pay for it? There was a proposal to put a high-speed rail system in place in Florida. The government of Florida said, no, we're not going to do it because we can't afford it and we don't want to pay for it. And you say?

1:09:19 Well, if we want a system, we have to pay for it. We have to pay for airports, we have to pay for roads, I mean, we're paying for all that. We need to do this and this is how we're going to move the nation into the 21st century. Can you believe that this is the guy who's the CEO? Is this the best they can do? I know! And they have this on the website like it's genius. I could do a better job. In your sleep, with one eyebrow tied behind your back. This is crazy! Of course we have to pay for it. Of course we have to pay for it. Is there no cost which is too expensive? I don't see that it's too expensive. I mean, when you figure out the amount of mobility you get per dollar spent, it's a much greater bargain than roads or airports combined. Wait a minute, come on. How many billions of dollars was it going to be at first estimate to go from Tampa St. Pete to Orlando? How many billions was that? The first estimate and the final estimate was about 2.9 billion. So now it gets very interesting because now Varney starts to trap him.

1:10:19 And the guy actually falls right into the trap which really explains why this high-speed rail will never get built in our lifetime and it'll be too expensive if they really continue down this road. He does a good job of trapping the guy. 2.9 billion dollars for just that relatively short stretch, right? But we've spent four times that much on I-4, the interstate between those, that little short stretch. Yeah, but it's in place. We've got it. Well, we spent the money. How do you know? Well, we spent the money. We gotta spend the money. We gotta spend the money. How long would it take to build Tampa St. Pete to Orlando? A decade? Probably about two to three years.

1:10:56 No, you cannot be serious sir. You cannot be. Absolutely you can't be. Every lawyer in Florida will jump on this and say not across my land. You haven't compensated me enough. So here's where he traps it. It's not anyone's land. It's down the interstate. That was the easiest system because it was the interstate of the highway I-4. And you're not going to interrupt some lizard or some tortoise or some bird that flies overhead? It's already a transportation corridor, so that was an easy setup. That was the easiest one in America. See what an idiot the guy is? He's actually tilting his hand by saying, well this is why we started off with the easy ones, because we can show some wins within two years, and the rest will take a hundred years to build because everyone's going to like try and stop it. I think Varney's genius in this. Really did a good job.

1:11:45 Yeah, Barney's pretty good. I've seen him a couple times. They're grooming him to perhaps get a Fox News show. Oh really? He's in Fox Business and they bring him over once in a while. You know, they got him and Napolitano, they're kind of queued up because they got the Glenn Beck spot opening. and they're they're rearranging other people there they're gonna let me just let me just give you the final blow cuz he really nails the guy at the end dollars two hundred ninety one billion dollars worth so he's talking about china you know i two hundred ninety one billion dollars in the whole this is what you want for the united states of debt for the chinese high-speed rail system one chinese professor describes it as but worse than the subprime crash is coming to china because of this well i don't know

1:12:29 I mean, we're spending five times that on a war that we're not even getting anything out of it. We're not getting a rail system, we're not getting a transportation system out of that money. I'm sorry, I've wasted so much time in this interview. That's where you're coming from. You're saying that because we spent, what, a trillion dollars in Iraq, that we're spending that to secure the oil, we should be spending that on high-speed rail. Is that your argument? What I'm saying is that we have gone into debt to do a war which we're not going to get any benefit of. China is going into debt to build a... He nails him to the wall. But go ahead, go look at the US High Speed Rail Association. It's on their home page. What are they thinking? Andy Kuntz promotes high speed rail on Fox. Good job Andy. There'll be a little something extra in your paycheck today. Next time put him on MSNBC where they'll play the game. Yeah, really. It's like how stupid can you get to put him on with this guy?

1:13:28 I thought it was great. And then show it! Yeah. And then promote it! I'd be paying money, you know, maybe you should take this off, can you take it out of the archives? I'd be doing a DMCA request takedown from Google. Now, instead, what is this, the brilliant Hill and Knowlton? I mean, did they change PR firms? No, I'll tell you what it is, you wanna know what it is? Yeah, please! No, Hilton is still doing it but here's what happens. This is classic public and anyone out there who runs a corporation that uses these agencies will say yep, Dvorak's right. They start you off with the heavy hitters and the big fees every month and then very slowly they... You start bringing in the underlings. The interns, yeah, you get the interns on the job. No, I think Dorothy. Dorothy, she's new but she's really talented. She just came out of Cornell and she'll be able to handle you, no problem. Cornell. The bill stays the same. That's a bonehead. You're so right. It's so right. First, they got the guys who did the pitch come in

1:14:25 And they roll out for probably on an account like this, they probably do six months, maybe a little longer. Yeah, probably a million a month. At least. And that's excluding costs and, you know, like travel and hookers and stuff. Fantastic. Just I love it. Great job. So I don't know where Andy Kunz came from. But he's not doing a very good job. He's kind of making our argument for us. I really appreciate it. Yeah, well we don't make the argument that much anymore. I think we beat it to death. It's so obvious. But it's kind of... now it's just falling apart on its own. Typical.

1:15:06 Is it really? I mean, is it... I guess it is kind of now that states are rejecting it, right? Yeah, I think it's a lost cause. It'll crop up amongst the left-wingers who think, you know, like Michael Moore who thinks he's gonna take a train from New York to LA and be there in 12 hours. So, you know, unfortunately I couldn't find any video of the full commencement speech that Obama did when he was in Florida. So first of all, there's two things. There's this great video, there's no audio of it, but there's this great video of the first family coming off of Air Force One, which by the way, was not the 747 again. So they went down to the space shuttle launch and it was, I think it was the 757. I have no idea why they don't take the good plane. They're taking like the banger. Well, they have two of them or more. No, but they've got all different kinds. They have different models. It's not just two 747s. This is like the 757.

1:16:04 It would be a 767. There's no way there's a 757 outfitted for the president. I'm pretty sure it's a 750. Well, okay, I could be wrong. That just doesn't make any sense. The plane is cramped. It's not a big plane. So he comes down the steps and it's not out of the nose of the plane, it's out of the side because it's a smaller aircraft or whatever. It's configured differently. He comes down the steps and you've got to see this video. It's great because someone did it in slow-mo. And then there's a couple... Do you notice the way he walks? He holds his hands up kind of like Montgomery Burns on The Simpsons. He has his hands in a praying mantis position. And then he bounces, he bounces and his hands bounce up and down. But it's like a praying mantis. Hello everybody! I'm Barack.

1:16:49 So he walks, so he bounces down like a praying mantis, bounces down the stairs and there's always two military men there. You know and they and they salute him and then the guy shakes his hand and passes a note to him but like almost like you give a maitre d' a tip and and and the president takes it in his hand and he puts it in he doesn't read it he puts it in his pocket. It's the weirdest thing you know almost like This thing is not going off today. Here's the note just so you know in advance so you can like sneak out the back and we'll pretend you're here waiting for that thing. We can go get a burger. It's the weirdest thing. You see this video. It's like, wow, he slips him a note. Maybe it was a tip. I don't know. It could have been a tip.

1:17:29 But it was, you have to see this video. It's uh... Could have been a tip, tipping the president. Tipping the president, hey good job, good job on that correspondence. Oh no, that was before the correspondence. Anyway, so he does the, you gotta see that video, it'll freak you out. You'll put, you'll blog that, I guarantee it. So he does the commencement speech, which is the kind of the graduation thing for the Miami Dade College. And I wish I had this on audio. Why? Every college, every major university loved him. I can tell you why. He was promoting the Dream Act and there's a lot of immigrants there who want to become citizens. Yeah, there's a lot of them at the University of Florida. There's a lot of them at Florida State, big schools. Well, they paid him. Maybe that's what the tip was for. It's like, you're going to Miami-Dade, Prez. Here's a hundy. I'll give you a hundred bucks if you go to Miami-Dade. Let me slip that to you.

1:18:24 Um, so of course I find it peculiar that he would go to my I mean just you're not taking me seriously. This is screwy. I don't know. We're talking about a I don't want to I don't know. I don't know. The only thing I can think of is they have a bitter better military recruitment program because he was talking about the DREAM Act and the whole idea behind the DREAM Act is you can become a citizen if you go into service if you promise to go get yourself blown up in Afghanistan. That's how the DREAM Act works. I don't see it any other way. So maybe they have a better recruitment program at the Miami Dade University. Maybe they have a better PA system for all we know. So here's his quote.

1:19:07 Class of 2011, you and your generation are now responsible for our future. I'm only going to be president a little bit longer. You're going to be leaders for many years to come. Now do you not find that weird that he says that? I'm only going to be president a little bit longer? Yeah, it is kind of weird. You know, I mean, six more years, essentially. Well, yeah, but maybe, you know, we still have it in our list of, you know, kind of quasi and real predictions. That he's going to give up, that he's going to quit. That he's going to give up for once so he can spend more time with the daughters. And it's possible, just thinking off the top of my head, that he's starting to do his campaign collecting, you know, early because he's supposed to get a billion dollars in money, that if he gets, like, if he collects a bunch of money, he can

1:19:58 I know you can't take the money for personal, but... Yeah, well, you know, some can fall off the truck. There's supposed to be some money falling off the truck. And that's why he's out campaigning so soon. So I'm retiring. Michelle, baby, I'm retiring. Rich! We're going out in style, girlfriend. So, but to say that... Or you could take the... I don't know. Yeah, go on. Yeah. Just that I find that that is... it was awkward. Yeah, you're right. I'm only going to be president a little bit longer. So a little bit longer is a couple years to me, not six more years. Right. Six years is a long time. That's a whole college... that's college plus graduate school. I mean, it's more than, you know, a couple... a little bit longer. So I just thought that was interesting. And it just kind of plays into our...

1:20:44 into our thesis about him actually giving up, which I think you called by the way. Yeah, it was a long shot because I still think Hillary's, you know, since Hillary now it's apparent Hillary's not going to be the vice president because they made the, you know, unless something weird happens, which is going to always happen at the last minute, you know, all of a sudden, you know, Biden has to not run and they have to bring Hillary in and because they want to dig dig you know Hillary needs to be in by I mean she's already too old to run. Hillary? Yeah, if you really take a look at her. No! What are you talking about? And she's not, she's gonna be too old to run in six years. How old is she? She's 90? She's 91? Really? Hillary's 91? I was gonna say, uh, Celebrité Ambassadors. A closed door meeting our president had with, um,

1:21:50 Rosario Dawson big movie star Emilio Estefan of course Gloria Estefan's husband and a huge producer mighty sound machine but you know it's produced a lot of stuff America Ferrara you know the ugly Betty girl Eva Longoria behind closed doors meeting because you'll see these people coming out to support the immigration reform look for it This is exactly what was always the mission, you know, is combine politics with celebrities and show business and that's how we sell the message. Where's George by the way? We haven't seen him. I think he's been kicked to the curb. I think ever since he blew it, we pointed out on one of our shows that Clooney blew his lines.

1:22:38 on one of these uh... yeah it was on pierce morgan he was blown his lines and that was that and we haven't heard from him since it's like he apparently can't memorize his lines he's probably not very good on stage either he has to be a movie actor where they can you know the person behind the camera can yell the lines at you and then you repeat them and Matt Damon by the way is out Remember Matt Damon he Matt Damon. I was all by the way also on Piers Morgan. This is interesting Matt Damon was his output. He was brought back. He was brought into the mix at the Obama Douchebag fest at the I got the clip it was not good for Matt Damon. Well play it I've even let down my key core constituency there it is that's the truth that is your key core constituency you've got to have Hollywood movie stars just the other day

1:23:30 Matt Damon. I love Matt Damon. Love the guy. Matt Damon said he was disappointed in my performance. Well, Matt, I just saw the Adjustment Bureau, so right back at you, buddy. Right back at you, buddy. That was pretty harsh. Don't cross the Presidente. Yeah, he's supposed to have a thin skin. You know, he's always got the greatest sense of humor. Well, he's funny. He has, and he's got good comedy. As a comedian, he'd be great. But he doesn't take it very well. And the fact that Matt Damon did, and I remember him doing it, I guess it was on Piers Morgan.

1:24:07 Saying he said I'm disappointed in what Obama's done nobody you can't be did if you're like his support you can be a Republican and say whatever you want, but if you're if you're a member of the Democrat cult and you turn on the great leader Mmm bad you're out very bad on you very bad. It's like any other cult. Yeah cult of the Obama I ran into a I was watching oh It was on C-SPAN David Brooks has a new book and there's a guy I have a clip that I'm developing David Brooks is a writer for the New York Times right he's supposedly the conservative at the New York Times and he's not really he's kind of a he seemed he looks like he's a CIA guy and who knows but whatever the case is he came up with this very interesting book and I don't have the title in front of me the chat room can have it we should put it in our list it's his new book and

1:24:57 and it's about research done on the brain and how people work in groups and stuff like that. It's quite interesting. But he had this little, he had a couple of things that he did. I have two clips. He had one kind of a slam of the self-esteem movement, which I thought was interesting. But more interesting was the political commentary he made at the question and answer session. And I found this fascinating because there's two things you're gonna find out. One is that Brooks, David Brooks, meets with Obama more than most members of Congress do. and brooks even found this to be uh... somewhat uh... uh... distressing and i do and i heard it i said i thought it was ridiculous to be honest about it they were all bomb of the great you know change uh... hope and change guy won't meet with with with congressman ryan at all he's never met the guy here we play this clip what do you believe that uh... occur can you name three things our current president has done correctly and uh...

1:24:07 Saying he said I'm disappointed in what Obama's done nobody you can't be did if you're like his support you can be a Republican and say whatever you want, but if you're if you're a member of the Democrat cult and you turn on the great leader Mmm bad you're out very bad on you very bad. It's like any other cult. Yeah cult of the Obama I ran into a I was watching oh It was on C-SPAN David Brooks has a new book and there's a guy I have a clip that I'm developing David Brooks is a writer for the New York Times right he's supposedly the conservative at the New York Times and he's not really he's kind of a he seemed he looks like he's a CIA guy and who knows but whatever the case is he came up with this very interesting book and I don't have the title in front of me the chat room can have it we should put it in our list it's his new book and

1:24:57 and it's about research done on the brain and how people work in groups and stuff like that. It's quite interesting. But he had this little, he had a couple of things that he did. I have two clips. He had one kind of a slam of the self-esteem movement, which I thought was interesting. But more interesting was the political commentary he made at the question and answer session.

1:25:57 A dozen things, 20 things that he has not. I'll limit that to three and three. Let's see, three things he's done correctly. One, he's the best education president we've had since I've been covering education. What? What? bull crap the best education secretary president yeah by the way I can't really is what yeah what I don't know where he gets that from what what the point of that I guess is because that Arnie guy who seems like a dimwit is this sells a good game where there I don't know or maybe because he gives it some attention I have no idea to I disagreed with at the time but he was right to rescue GM

1:26:42 I could list more actually. There are some things I disagree with, but I do think, and I cover the President, I speak to him periodically, I certainly speak to people on his staff almost every day or several times a week. and I would say within the White House, I disagree with him, I'm to his right. But within the White House, there genuinely is a culture of debate. As for the failures, uh, you know, I thought when we did healthcare, I thought we had two central tasks. The first- Wait a minute, wait a minute. This is a reporter who's talking like this? Yeah. When we did healthcare, we had two central tasks? What, is he in the administration? Well, kinda. First was to, uh,

1:27:24 to cover 39 million uninsured people and the second was to get our cost inflation under control. We did one, I don't think we did the second. So that would be one thing I disagree with. I think he tried too much in the first few years and really really polarized the country maybe more than it needed to be. I wish he would call some of the members of the opposing parties. Someone I'm friendly with is a guy named Paul Ryan from Wisconsin, a very smart chairman of the House Budget Committee. Not a douche bag. I know them both men. They would really get along. They'd have wonderful conversations about the future budget, which could really lay the groundwork for some compromises. But Obama has never called Ryan and asked him over to the White House. He's never had a conversation with him.

1:28:08 and I just think they should at least talk. That's very interesting. Yeah, I found that quite fascinating. Ryan is also a douchebag. They're all douchebags. Well, we got that established, so I don't think we need to belabor it, but the fact is that it seems as if you would... You probably meet the guy once or twice. Yeah, bring him over. I mean, he's got, like you just said, a bunch of celebrity creeps in his office to to you know for whatever reason you know Hollywood. Celebrity creeps. Don't worry he'll get some celebrity creeps in whenever he needs to sell this, his budget. But it's like he won't meet with members of Congress but he'll meet with people from Hollywood? I mean is that what we're hearing here? And apparently meet with David Brooks every couple times a month? It's a we. David and I. We you know. Hello everybody. David and I we've taken on health care.

1:29:01 I'm getting better, right? You're getting a little better. I think if you read some of his transcripts while watching him... I'm trying, I'm trying. I think you have the right tone, the tonal qualities of your voice to be able to do Obama. Hello everybody, this will be the best commencement speech. Yeah, I say within the next six months... John, look. Let me be clear with you. You will have nailed it. The key to Obama is actually in the chest resonance. Here's what's gonna happen. I'm gonna have it nailed and then he's gonna quit. Just about the time I can finally do it. Anyway, speaking of healthcare for a minute here. So we've been tracking this Alzheimer's thing.

1:29:51 And wow, it's amazing because when you put the human resources, when you point them in a direction, and of course we have No Agenda News Network. Again, if you want to contribute, just drop me an email at adamcurry.com. Put No Agenda News Network or NANN in the subject line and I'll get you on the system. Wow, it comes in fast and furious. So there's a couple things going on. First of all, Seth Rogen seems to be the celebrity for the Alzheimer's. He's out everywhere talking about Alzheimer's, how brutal it is. I see he was on, Larry King is doing a special on Alzheimer's. That's tonight actually I think. Yep. And Seth Rogen of course, a great actor, very funny guy. And his, I think his mother-in-law has Alzheimer's and so they interview him. You know, you got to put a celebrity in there if you want to get some attention. But then I see this and I'm like wow. So first I thought it was well, you know we've got this, they're talking about a vaccine

1:30:48 There may be a way to identify it earlier. Basically, if you're just confused, you probably have tendencies towards Alzheimer's, so you probably get that vaccine shot a little earlier just in case. They've lowered the bar for determining what Alzheimer's is. We talked about that on the last show. Now, from the annals of British medicine comes fantastic news. that a relatively cheap, in fact only two pence, two pence, what is that John? $18? Two pence? I think it's closer to that. A cheap antidepressant drug costing a little over two pence a dose could stave off Alzheimer's. Well this shouldn't be in the script.

1:31:31 Well, it is in the script because do you know what this cheap antidepressant is? Oh, okay. What? Lithium. Oh, really? Lithium and Alzheimer's? Yeah, so this is what they're gonna do. They're gonna say, well, the China... Yeah, but this is screwing up the scenario for the vaccine. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's very simple because... First of all, not every single community is going to want to have lithium in their water. But this is what they're going to do. Just like the Chinese, they've talked about it before, we just need to put some lithium in your water and you know, it'll be good for you because it stops early Alzheimer's. And if you don't, well, then you can just, you know, not drink that and take the vaccine. Makes you want to sleep a lot. Yeah, of course, lithium is going to make you completely docile, stupid slave.

1:32:14 So I can't believe that they're actually pushing this. I can't. You can't? Really? Yeah, right. Yeah. What am I thinking? So that just like went, oh, okay, I get it. Everyone's jockeying for position now on this stuff. And I guess they're also trying to get the flu vaccine to be approved by Medicare. So now Medicare is going to pay for it. It's just nuts. It's completely nuts. They're really going all out. They really have no Just don't care. Okay. So I've got a couple good things for a second half of the show which is coming up but maybe just to lead us into it. This is what is all over the Arab news as you know I have my sources everywhere as a part of the knowage in the news network. Can you recognize these voices John? Hold on.

1:33:15 So let them be ashamed and let them have a way out. Because Saddam Hussein, the great, he himself was a student of the Iraqi army. Not now, they come to the American tankers, covered in mud and dirt. And the government is watching. Can you recognize the voice? Yes, Mickey. This is the phone call here. That is unmistakingly the voice of Saddam Hussein. This is the phone call that is rocking the Arab world as the minister, one of the ministers in Iraq had this phone call and everyone says, oh my God, that's him, it's Saddam Hussein.

1:34:03 Isn't that amazing? And everyone's like- Doesn't sound like him to me. I think it's him. I think it's totally him. Okay, this is going to take a little while but there's a couple of things we've got to do here. One, by the way, I do have to add a couple more people to the executive producer roles that came in as hard copy checks. Oh, for today's list? Okay. Let's make sure we get them. I'm going to do that at the top which is, I don't want to mention who it is, it's like

1:34:43 Jerry Lenski in Memphis, Tennessee. He really enjoys the show, has been listening since the beginning, decided it's time to become a donor, not a boner. Brain scrambling examples you aired recently show me that's really a good reason to wear a tinfoil hat. Yes. Keep up the good work. Also, AJ Reistad, who is the executive producer of episode 202, is also the executive producer of... He sent us a donation, plus 33.33 for some karma, if you can give us some karma. He needs some karma. Sorry. You've got karma. and stick them all over the place, especially near toll booths. There's actually the new noagenda.com site has a couple of stickers. Go to vinylrocket.com slash NA for more stickers. And I can tell that Eric made the stickers, because they're like, really? It's like Eric kind of like, is he in the tea party? Eric the shill? No, but... He's got like Thomas Jefferson quotes and then no agenda. Oh, yeah. Bit much. He means well.

1:36:01 Yeah, well, there's somebody might like that the tea party member might think that's the world's greatest sticker. I haven't seen him possible He's planning a knighthood episode 333 will put him over the top Requesting he wants to become the Baron of Sepulveda or something like that He's also executive producer of 301 by the way because he was supposed to be 299 I forgot to mention him last week. Also we have a In advance we're gonna have executive producer for show 303 or one to see cape P creative LLC and also on this pile here is G lens ski in Memphis, Tennessee Which I don't think is on a list is $300 for it, and he'll be executive producer today show meanwhile we have this huge list of

1:36:51 Well, let's go over the people that actually contributed lesser amounts to today's show, if I bring up the right spreadsheet, including Le Pan in Mesa, Arizona. He made a mention of the Daily Show the Democrats had to agree to a $33... This is kind of a complicated thing to read. A little long. Oh, he had a whole bunch of magic numbers he had noticed and stuff? Yeah, he's going for the 11-11-11. He donated $111.11. Adam, you are not to add the extra penny when it gets close. He's born in 1980, returning 31 this year, 111, was able to talk to the local Army Guard CO and hit him in the mouth with a no agenda show and talked him about briefing for all the soldiers. By the way, the don't ask, don't tell, did you see the piece of news that floated out this last week? About the lesbian?

1:37:42 No, but the fact that Obama says they're going to put it off a little longer. No! I can't believe I missed that. You're kidding me. Yeah, Mimi caught it. It was running around. Oh no. Gee, you think? So now the Pentagon says, you know, we're going to put it off. Meanwhile, nobody has said anything. You're kidding me. How come no one alerted me to this? This is like my number one pet peeve. They slipped it in just under the radar during the wedding. Oh my goodness, let me, while you're reading I'm going to check and see if I can find this news. Keith Edwards, I can send you a link. It's only showed up a couple places. I got it right here, don't ask, Obama wants rule to remain a while.

1:38:23 Oh my God! Sorry, I didn't mean to take the Lord's name in vain, but... The Obama administration wants a federal appeals court to maintain the ban on openly gay service members until the Pentagon is ready for them, probably by the end of the year, and to reject a demand for an immediate halt to Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Oh man, this is in the Ninth Circuit now. Of course, this is never gonna happen. Isn't this hilarious? This is never going to happen. This is what we predicted. We said this is never gonna happen.

1:48:09 I also want to thank Greg Wilcox for a check for $111.11 which came in over the transom and also we have one more from oh we got never mind that's that is the one okay so this is really good because once in a while we have to do a donation drive I like this a lot more than the NPR way of doing it which is like just boring to death and and by the way it's It's just incessant what they do. It just never stops. Oh, they take over the show. They stop all programming. Yeah. So you can't VCR anything or DCR. No, you can't. Whatever. You can't. Well, there's nothing to DVR or VCR or record because it's all just pitch.

1:48:50 So we will probably do another donation drive for 333. We have to do 333. It's already been suggested and it's a super lucky number. That is the number that once we go past 333 it's gonna be tough. Now we understand that many people can't Contribute to these levels you're giving level is lower, but believe me the $5 a month the 1111 a month Anything that you're doing on a periodic basis is so highly appreciated And it enables us to do what we do Which of course consists of not watching porn photography shoots, but actually watching douchebags on CNN That was a great sacrifice you made. I think it was the vorac org slash na

1:49:35 And there's only one birthday for today. We've already mentioned him, but we do it for everybody regardless. Greg Riddell, congratulations on your birthday today from your buddies here at the No Agenda Show. I've got my blade. Is this the kind of thing that Eric's going to try and sell? These... Oh, not one this heavy. Yeah, okay. Shipping is going to be enormous. We've got Jonas Astham, David Dolson, Oleg Rakitin, and Daniel Foster. Please step forward. The four of you have now reached your giving level of $1,000 or more. For some we've even had to kick in the extra penny, but that's okay because I proudly pronounce the ninth of the Noah-Jenner Roundtable Sir Jonas Sir David

1:50:28 Sir Oleg Rakatin, Sir Oleg and Sir Daniel Foster. Please enjoy your hookers and blow or rent boys and carbonate. Carbonate. Carbonate? Carbonate. Oh, geez. I think... And what's the code for that carbonate? I'm melting. Carbonate. It's a new wine. Carbonate. Oh my god, I'm sorry. Yes, I think you're right. I think it's coming back the flu. Let me just caffeinate myself here for a second. There you go. Mmm. So I did pick up on a couple of fun little ditties that were, you know, of course, I got my eye on what's happening with the Arab Spring. As we know Syria, of course, is next and what's his name? Lieberman, Larry Lieberman. And

1:51:28 Greg Graham, no, Lindsey Graham and who else? And I guess the president himself. They're all like saying... Which other warmongers? Yeah, well, the president. So you know there was an executive order. Did you see that? The executive order for Syria? It's the exact same script. So now there's an executive order that says, you know, they're calling out a couple of these douchebags in Syria and we're freezing assets. It's the exact same thing. Exact same thing. And McCain, McCain is out there, oh we should go into Syria, it's a human tragedy. It's just it continues, it continues. Now, yeah I know it's... Can you do that again? So the United Nations of course, did you, did you hear, this is an amazing report about Libya. That, that horrible woman, Lucifer Clinton's butt buddy, Susan Rice,

1:52:26 She in closed-door meeting, but it has been confirmed by like the Washington Post I think let me just see if I have the story here I think was actually the Washington Post that that followed up on the story. She was in a closed-door meeting and was saying oh you know everything is so horrible and that Gaddafi is here to several UN diplomats who attended the closed-door Security Council meeting on Libya told Reuters that Susan Rice said in this meeting that Colonel Gaddafi had issued Viagra to his troops so they could rape women. Yeah I heard that one. Can you believe this crap?

1:53:05 Unbelievable. I mean really? I mean is that the best? For one thing it's it's beyond I mean, to think that this is a creative, you know, because you're always trying to dream up little things to get people to be on your side on this war. You're gonna have any war, and this is known since World War I, you have to have a bunch of propaganda to vilify the enemy, make him evil. This is so over-the-top stupid that it's like, has this woman got an IQ of 80? I mean, why is she even in this position?

1:53:40 I just find it such a horrible, horrible thing to make up even. And how stupid it... Yeah, because this is really good, you know? You're really great at combat when you got your jabroni sticking out for five hours. Yeah, that's really great. You're an idiot. Oh yeah, no, because now they have weapons of mass destruction between their legs or something. This is the typical of... Women who don't know what a penis looks like or how it functions, that's for sure. Yeah, I would think that's part of it. Geez, I mean really? Yeah, quote. This is from Reuters. She spoke of reports of soldiers getting Viagra and raping. She spoke of Gaddafi soldiers targeting children and other atrocities. Really? Really?

1:54:27 I mean, she should be just, she should be thrown in irons for this. No, they're not going to. No, but besides the fact that we know that this is just, it's not true, this whole thing is a setup to take it that far? And then meanwhile of course they kill his youngest in some NATO attack, which is- Well, that's already been denied, that that didn't happen. That they killed his son and three grandchildren. see Al Jazeera is saying skepticism so then it probably did happen if Al Jazeera saying it didn't happen you can bet it did whatever the case it's like they're obviously they got feet on the ground in fact we have a couple of clips about that first of all there was an interesting I can't remember what show this was from unfortunately but it was a guy that was the head of the security the security correspondent for the New York Times who I think may have been talking about it Muhammad

1:55:21 I have had this hard on for more than four hours. Who do I call? I can't make... I have to call my doctor. Look at the size of this thing. I have to call my doctor now. I can't fight the rebels. So I got a couple of clips here that are just kind of from, I'll figure out what the show is when we hear it, but it's one of the talk shows in Washington Week, I think. And this guy is talking about Petraeus and how they're starting to play musical chairs with the Pentagon and the CIA. And this is kind of funny because the guy starts to stammer when it seems as though he may have not, shouldn't have said what he did.

1:55:57 Now follow the bouncing ball. With Robert Gates leaving the Defense Department, CIA Chief Leon Panetta heads to the Pentagon, while General David Petraeus leaves Afghanistan to take over in Langley. Lieutenant General John Allen takes Petraeus' place in Afghanistan and former ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker joins him there as the top U.S. diplomat. Each man has a different career and a different relationship with the White House that can tell us much about how obama policy and how wars themselves have changed is that right mark yet there's a lot of familiar faces changing jobs and or one way to look at it is that there's not going to be a significant change in uh... foreign policy or the war in afghanistan uh... jumper trace will continue to uh... do his job in cn and and and and

1:56:47 I mean so Petraeus is gonna continue to do his job of what overseeing the drug shipments because he can continue says he's the CIA now I mean that it was just too funny but Gwen Ifill is who this shows Washington Week in review I think it's or Washington Week or something she Gwen Ifill is the black woman who who wrote the fawning book about Obama before the election about how great a president is going to be, you know, all this and then she was the host of one of the debates. Yeah, it was very controversial. Yeah, it's controversial but she's having trouble supporting him more or less now. But this guy goes on, I guess he figures this Mark, I can't remember his last name, but he's at the New York Times, he goes on and on with a kind of a discussion of

1:57:35 The fact that the CIA is already in the military and would feed on the ground or they're calling him wingtips on the ground So it's not boots anymore? So this miscellaneous NYT security CIA thing is worth listening to. There's a certain interchangeability about the CIA and the Pentagon these days. The Pentagon is very much in the military business. They're dropping bombs in Pakistan. The Pentagon is expanding its intelligence gathering. There's this sort of whole apparatus of secret war going on. And so in many ways Panetta and Petraeus will switch jobs, but they'll be very familiar in their positions.

1:58:11 This is so unbelievable that the press is just so they're also incredibly smart. They've got it all figured out They can all say wow this is you know well of course this is because the CIA we have to have more covert operations And this is great, but none of them is going like this is outrageous. They'll be absolutely no transparency on who were killing with predator drones This is crazy. Yeah, the CIA runs the drones and the thing is they use the term there's no boots on the ground but there are wingtips on the ground, which is the CIA and I think the CIA's, whoever they are in Libya, are trying to track Gaddafi and that's why they keep bombing wherever he shows up. I mean this is not a no-fly zone when you're bombing houses that

1:58:55 that you think Gaddafi's in. Actually I have a clip from the UN that explains that it's much more than just a no-fly zone. Libya is at risk of a full-blown food security crisis within the next 45 to 60 days, warns the World Food Programme, WFP. WFP stresses that the country's food security system has been severely disrupted and the country is unable to import enough food due to the due to disruption of port activities and the lack of fuel. So they're not just maintaining a no-fly zone, they're like starving them. Yeah, like the Russians did in the, I think it was the Ukraine or the Georgians. Yeah, just starve them. Just don't eat. The Russians did this to a whole country. Yeah, just don't eat. Well, that's insane.

1:58:11 This is so unbelievable that the press is just so they're also incredibly smart. They've got it all figured out They can all say wow this is you know well of course this is because the CIA we have to have more covert operations And this is great, but none of them is going like this is outrageous. They'll be absolutely no transparency on who were killing with predator drones This is crazy. Yeah, the CIA runs the drones and the thing is they use the term there's no boots on the ground but there are wingtips on the ground, which is the CIA and I think the CIA's, whoever they are in Libya, are trying to track Gaddafi and that's why they keep bombing wherever he shows up. I mean this is not a no-fly zone when you're bombing houses that

1:58:55 that you think Gaddafi's in. Actually I have a clip from the UN that explains that it's much more than just a no-fly zone. Libya is at risk of a full-blown food security crisis within the next 45 to 60 days, warns the World Food Programme, WFP. WFP stresses that the country's food security system has been severely disrupted and the country is unable to import enough food due to the due to disruption of port activities and the lack of fuel. So they're not just maintaining a no-fly zone, they're like starving them. Yeah, like the Russians did in the, I think it was the Ukraine or the Georgians. Yeah, just starve them. Just don't eat. The Russians did this to a whole country. Yeah, just don't eat. Well, that's insane.

1:59:41 It's insane. I think we should pull out the Ron Paul clip where he actually explains what's going on with the CIA. This is from a while ago, we played it on the show. We play it every so often. Yeah, because you got to pull it out. Just to remind them. Just to remind you that, and by the way, this could easily be your next president. And by the way, it won't be because of this clip. I mean, they're almost like they live in a different world. The military's down, the morale is down, the money is in their pocket. a couple more wars to fight. It makes no sense whatsoever. But no, we don't have to worry about the military anymore because there's been a coup, have you heard? It's the CIA coup. The CIA runs everything.

2:00:28 the military. They're the ones who are over there lobbing missiles and bombs on these countries. It's not even the military that does that. The CIA runs this. And of course the CIA has never been as secret as the Federal Reserve. And yet, think of the harm that they have done since they were established in since world war two they are a government unto themselves they're in businesses they're in drug businesses and and uh and they take on tips and the things that they can't afford to do. Have you heard? Have you heard John? Have you heard? There's been a coup. There's been a coup in the drug business. Yeah. Yeah. They're in the drug business yeah so yeah now that's exactly why uh

2:01:13 I can't run the military so we now we have the head of the CIA going over to the Pentagon yay and we have a military guy from Afghanistan coming to see a and nobody thinks this is weird shadow puppet theater that's That's okay. Yeah, no, it's fine. And the press will just like, let's just go laugh at the president's jokes. Let's not be outraged by this and let's not, because you know, the CIA is like, you don't want to mess with the CIA, buddy. It's going to shut up and do your job. Just report on the Royal wedding. You know, if they, if even they, they actually, that's not even, that's only partially true because they've actually taken the CIA under their wing and they become part of the media. The CIA, various ex analysts and current analysts and future analysts are all on all these

2:01:55 talk shows on MSNBC, Fox, every one of them is a CIA person and they're telling you know their position essentially or the agency's position and it's like part of the news cycle. It's like well what's the CIA got to say about this? When did it become so part of everything like everyday society? This is basically it's a secret police Although I think the Department of Homeland Security is acting more like that. That they're just, it's commonplace. So you said, yeah, the CIA, the military, it's all the same thing. If the mainstream media said that, nobody would care. The CIA has gone beyond being a secret, oh, we can't just shoot anyone who says anything. Yeah, just shut up. Meanwhile, the press is still being duped openly

2:02:47 This is a we have a great producer in Canada and he's been sending me clips from CBC. He's actually putting them on the No Agenda News Network, which is pretty cool. Yeah, you guys get some good clips. You can download them. So this is about the civil war in Syria. Listen to this reporting and where they're getting their information from, this grand old fantastic news organization there. Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague said today that Syria is at a fork in the road as he justified Britain's view that military intervention in the Middle East country is not an option. The US is saying the same thing, even as NATO countries, including Canada, stepped up attacks on Libya in the last 48 hours. International leaders have been speaking out and condemning the Syrian government's brutal crackdown against its civilian protesters, but that's where it stops. Since the first of this month, Syrians have been in the streets demanding change in the dictatorial rule of the Assad family. The regime of President Bashar al-Assad has responded with live ammunition and tanks.

2:03:49 Estimates today put the death toll at 453 with reports of unburied bodies lying in the streets of Dara where the protests and the government's brutal response to them have been more most pronounced. Now notice this is estimates, reports of, so nothing is fact. Nothing is fact, it's just all stuff. So, we need to bring an expert on. Who should we bring on, John? If we want an expert to talk about this. I'd probably want to bring somebody in from the intelligence community. I would bring in a blogger. I think that would be much better. It's hard to verify the numbers. We are told hundreds of people have been arrested. Foreign media have been barred from the country and reporting from inside Syria has always been problematic. Many Syrians, fearing for their safety, are now reluctant to leave their homes.

2:04:32 but social media has helped syrians tell the world what is happening inside places such as darrah susanne khalwa kamala is a syrian living in valparaiso indiana her family is in damascus and darrah and she has been gathering information and sending it out via twitter and facebook and translating videos on YouTube. It's unbelievable. It just boggles my mind. It's mind-boggling. It is. Ow! Ow. Sorry. It's totally mind-boggling. And she goes, yeah, I'm passing it on from Twitter. Ever hear of the techno experts, darling? The techno experts that Hillary Clinton employs? And then on the media, just as we do a round of assassination here,

2:05:31 Um, this is so funny. So, you know, just to prove my point that Twitter, you know, hey, Andy Carvin. Hello, Andy at N A Carvin. Pay attention to this dude. Earlier this year, 500 or so Twitterers received tweets from someone with the handle at James M Titus, who posed one of several generic questions. How long do you want to live to, for example, or do you have any pets? At James Amtitis was cheerful and enthusiastic, kind of like those people who comment on the weather and then laugh heartily. Perhaps because of that good nature, or perhaps because of his inquiring spirit and interest in others, At James Amtitis was able to strike up a fair number of continuing conversations.

2:06:18 Only thing is, there is no James M. Titus. He, or it, is a bot, a software program designed to engage actual humans in social networks. He grew out of a contest... Okay, so this is a bot, right? Which I think a lot of these things are. And if they're not bots, then they're systems that are controlled by one person who controls multiple personalities. Yeah, that's the best way to do it. Where do you think this bot was created, John? Probably Washington D.C. someplace. No, no, no, no, no. To devise a social bot, a contest staged by a group of techies calling themselves the Web Ecology Project.

2:07:02 Tim Wong is the director of the Web Ecology Project. He joins us from Berkeley, California. I said Berkeley. You did? I didn't hear you say that. Of course, this is Spook Central. It's Berkeley, it's Pennsylvania, and it's Arlington. This is where it's all coming from. People who are new listeners to this show, we've determined based on the Ling Ling thing, the woman that was captured outside of Iran, Berkeley has become some sort of a training ground, especially the School of Journalism for various CIA operatives. So I was listening to the Dvorak Horowitz Unplugged show, which was a good episode this past week, because you guys kind of had like a No Agenda, laugh it off vibe, even though the world is crumbling. It was kind of cool. Because, you know, the dollar, of course, is about to drop off a press. It's now almost at its lowest point ever.

2:07:56 This is just about to fold up into a little paper wad. Oil is out of control once again and the president is like, oh we're gonna get away. I didn't even want to clip it. His address this week was You know, while you're paying four to five bucks a gallon at the pump, you know, we're gonna hammer those guys and take away their four billion dollars in tax breaks. Is that supposed to make me feel good? Really? Yeah, it's just gonna make the pump price go higher. Yeah. Just pass along the... So stupid. It's like, yeah, just want to stick it up there further, please. Ugh, making me crazy. Um, what was I gonna say?

2:08:38 I don't know, you're talking about Berkeley and this phony bots. Oh, I know what I was going to say. So I was going to ask you a question, kind of an Ask John segment. So we have this debt ceiling issue coming up, which of course we pegged almost a month ago as the real conversation because little Timmy Geithner was out there going, it's unthinkable that they wouldn't raise the debt ceiling. Douche. Timmy. And do you think that it's actually possible that now is the time, that now they're really going to pull the rug and we're not going to raise the debt ceiling and then standards and poor will come out and we'll reduce our rating and then everything will fall apart? I mean, could it act? I mean, I know it could happen, but do you think this is the moment or are they going to pull a rabbit out of the hat at the last minute? What do you what are your what is your view, John? I would say the rabbit out of the hat is going to be like

2:09:34 These guys are very skittish and they talk a big game about, oh, we're not going to let them raise the debt ceiling. I promised my constituency and all the rest of it. And then at the end of the day, the debt ceiling is going to get raised and there's going to be a few people who really, here's what you do. You take a look at all your congressmen. and you see that a bunch of them were elected only because of this one issue and they have to vote no. But it's just a few of them, right? It's not enough. Yeah, there's just going to be a few of them. So they're going to have to stay on that side of the ledger. Then there's going to be the guys that are the swing voters and they say they promised that they weren't going to vote for it either but they've got the excuse. They'll have some bogus excuse that they can do it because it was for the good of the country. And so they'll be able to vote yes and the whole thing will get passed barely.

2:10:19 and it'll be, but it'll be, they'll lead up to a lot of chit-chat and I think it's gonna be a distraction of the week when it, as we get closer. Well it's already kind of starting. Paul O'Neill, former Treasury Secretary, was on Bloomberg. Bloomberg, by the way, is getting pretty interesting to watch because it's such a, a low-fi channel and it really is because the screen is like a third of the size. Oh yeah, it's like a cheap production. Yeah, it's totally low-fi and then people open up and they say the weirdest things on it. Listen to what the former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill said about anyone who opposes to raising the debt limit. any kind of question as to whether or not it would have been heightened. How do you rate Geithner and his handling of this issue? Well, you know, I think each secretary needs to be judged in his own context. You know, I believe that... By the way, did they hit this guy in the mouth that he's listening to? I don't know, is Sylvester the cat? Are you sure they got the right guy? I think we got the right guy. He could be an imposter, I don't know. ...administrations now for the last 30 years have made a mistake in this sense.

2:11:32 There is now a set of practices that are employed that are effectively accounting engineering to extend reaching the debt ceiling. So Tim Geithner has said we're going to reach the debt ceiling on May the 18th and he hopes that the Congress will act by July. You know, how do we get from May to July? By doing financial accounting tricks. I think it You know, it helps the Congress to avoid being responsible. I think that's a really bad idea. It's a poor political judgment. Absolutely. I wish Tim Geithner would say when we reach the death ceiling, we reach the death ceiling, we're not going to do tricks down here at our end of Pennsylvania Avenue. The Congress needs to be responsible and adult and take action on the death ceiling. And, you know, I think the people who are threatening not to pass the death ceiling are our version of Al Qaeda terrorists.

2:12:27 You're Al-Qaeda terrorist! You're Al-Qaeda! You don't wanna- You don't wanna talk to the Al-Qaeda terrorist. You're gonna get somebody in the chat saying, oh Paul, was it Paul O'Neil or whatever his name is. Oh you know he just had a stroke, you're such a mean prick. Oh yeah, oh you're so mean. Did he have a stroke? Please. It sounds like, not that I'm thinking it's funny. No, it's not funny at all, but the way you talk is pretty funny. Well, talk about funny talking. Play the salsa lady. Oh. In one of us a John C. Dvorak special clip. Avocado is ripe. Then you turn a salsa that could have just been a salsa with chips into a whole hearty appetizer. So when you scoop in the tortilla chip, you can choose how much cheese and how much avocado to get. So what you may have

2:13:20 thought that was a not so really attractive fruit turned out to be an incredibly delicious ingredient to make a hearty appetizer that's wholesome and delicious and it will keep you entertained for hours well until you finish it. Nice thank you for that interlude John. I thought it was a way to say like an entremont it's like one of these little things they throw it in as in between all of our other clips and it's a woman this is called Patty's Mexican Table the one of the worst cooking shows on the air on PBS by the way and I can't understand a word she's saying half the time it's like why can't we can you find someone who can cook Mexican that can actually speak English or just to have her do it in Spanish thank you a tired Anglo for saying it I can't believe sorry so cool but I would like to be able to watch a show that I can actually understand the person

2:14:18 So... Is it asking too much? Really? Seriously, is it asking too much? No. Hey, um, I have a theory for you and this will be one that, uh... Are you doing Twit today? Isn't it time that you're on that show again? No, no, no. Are you banned? Are you baned? Are you being kicked off? Well, I think they're going their own direction and... So, um, anyway, uh, of course the Sony password theft I think that, well regardless of whether it was false flag or not, this is clearly going to be used to shepherd in this secure ID thing. Already the European Union is calling meetings. Oh yeah, good one. Yep, I mean it's just starting now but you watch, it's going to be, oh we can't have this happen, this is horrible, we need it for cyber security, it's terrorism, all kinds of stuff like that.

2:15:08 and it's going to be used to essentially regulate us all the way down into submission. Yeah. I think you're right. I've got a clip here where Napolitano wants to regulate the internet, which is I think part of this too. They put cyberspace under its security wing. For the military side of the universe, the so-called dot mil, that the Department of Defense would have the lead. But for the civilian side of the government and for the intersection with the private sector, that the Department of Homeland Security would have the lead.

2:15:44 Napolitano's talk also focused on recruiting as graduates with technical and policy backgrounds are in demand by the government. Does she just have a stroke or something? I don't know what's her problem with that. She's so haughty and arrogant. Yeah, she's recruiting. Well, she's the head of the secret police. I mean, you would be too. I'm surprised she shows up anyway. I bet you she dresses up at night in like leathers with a whip and stuff. No, she's actually a guy. High boots. No, no, no, she's not. High boots with a cap. Well, I mean, it harkens back to J. Edgar Hoover. Whipping some guy who's wearing a diaper. You know what I mean? Don't you just have that vision? It feels so obvious. We have to think about this and figure out who the guy is, because he's got some famous politician. Who's the guy? Who's the guy in the diaper? Who's the guy in the diaper? The guy in the diaper on the next No Agenda show!

2:16:41 I have one clip which I think, I've been debating whether this should be an end of show clip but I'd rather play it and discuss it with you. It's three minutes. Okay, we can play the David Brooks self-esteem clip at the end of the show which is actually pretty interesting. I'll actually line that up for you. Is it a long one? It's not real long, it's about two and a half minutes but it's long enough. Okay, so this is from an article written by Jean-Paul Pougal who is a French. It's narrated by a guy named T. West and it's about, this is an article that he wrote, of course I'm glad that it's been translated in English and narrated for our convenience because my French is not good enough. Thanks for the accent.

2:17:32 And it's about and now it's a it's a multi-parter YouTube clip for some reason I couldn't release that as an mp3 and I've linked to it in the show notes So you might want to listen the whole thing because it's very interesting gets all the way into Nelson Mandela and it's really about Africa and North Africa but in particular two things that have be highlighted here, this is about the real reason for the attack on Libya and It also mentions which country is next and And when I heard this, it made so much sense. You want to just take a quick guess? I mean, after Syria, obviously. Syria is next. What's after Syria? Any idea? I think Yemen's going to fall. No, no, no. But you're thinking of it. This is probably leading toward an African country. Yeah, oh no, of course it is. But it's North African. And it's so obvious. It's either going to be about Morocco or Algeria. Yeah, so obvious.

2:18:22 I clipped this down because it's much longer, but he starts off by saying really a lot of these problems started when Gaddafi put up $300 million of a $500 million fund which is put together by the African Union, which is not part of what the douchebags want to set up and what the European Union is funding, and it was for a telecom satellite. So apparently in Africa, but certainly in North Africa, prior to this satellite which launched a couple of years ago, the African Union had to pay in total $500 million a year, $400 or $500 million a year in fees to make phone calls via this satellite.

2:19:05 And so Gaddafi was one of the guys who said, this is ridiculous. You know, the most expensive phone rates were calling anywhere from even if you were in the same country, if you were calling just to a different area code from like, you know, Tripoli to Misrata, it would cost like 10 bucks a minute because you were going through this very expensive satellite. So Gaddafi was the guy who led the charge. to put their own satellite in space and they were actually with the Chinese and the Russians building a new really high-tech way advanced satellite that was going to launch in a couple of years. So that's the setup which I just told you here to skip the 20 minutes the guy takes explaining it but now listen to what he says is the real reason for this attack on Libya. Libya caused the West not just depriving it of 500 million dollars per year but

2:19:57 the billions of dollars in debt and interest that the initial loan would generate for years to come and in an exponential manner. helping maintain an occult system in order to plunder the African continent. African Monetary Fund, African Central Bank, African Investment Bank. The United States $30 billion frozen by Mr. Obama belong to the Libyan Central Bank. and had been earmarked as the Libyan contribution to three key projects which would add the finishing touches to the African Federation, the African Investment Bank in Serti, Libya, and the establishment in 2011 of the African Monetary Fund

2:20:45 to be based in Yaounde with a $42 billion capital fund and the Abuja-based African Central Bank in Nigeria, which when it starts printing African money will ring the death nail for the CFA Frank, through which Paris has been able to maintain its hold on some African countries for the last 50 years. It is easy then to understand the French wrath against Gaddafi. Now as a commentary note, this is why the French are supporting and backing their boy, Alassane Otero. That's the guy in Ivory Coast, which happened at the same time as Libya, you'll recall. And this is why they oppose Lorient's backbone.

2:21:33 Lauriette, Bagbo and Gaddafi were working together towards the interests of the African people, towards the interests of the African continent. Alassane Otero is an enemy of black people all around the world. He is an enemy of Africa and the African Union must and should oppose him. Now I'm back to the article. The African Monetary Fund is expected to totally supplant the African activities of the International Monetary Fund, which with only $25 billion was able to bring an entire continent to its knees and make it swallow questionable privatization like forcing African countries to move from public to private.

2:22:17 private monopolies. No surprise then that on the 16th and 17th of December of 2010, the Africans unanimously rejected attempts by Western countries to join the African monetary saying it was only open to African nations. It is increasingly obvious that after Libya, the Western coalition will go after Algeria, because apart from its huge energy resources, the country has cash reserves of around $150 billion.

2:22:53 So I really like what- it's weird audio obviously, but I really like what this guy is saying because it makes a lot of sense and put a lot of dots together for me. Well, we'll see. if well the whole idea that because Algeria hasn't even been on the radar well we've got some celebrities left over we can we put up we got plenty I think they just met with Obama who can we put up in in Algeria we need a celebrity for Algeria Algeria is a good one because Algeria is a pretty cool place everyone who ever I haven't been there but everyone who goes there says really a nice place and it's huge it's

2:23:29 It's huge. And a lot of tourist like going there. Which by the way... We can start killing tourists and it'll be another humanitarian problem. Talking about tourism, if you're done with this topic. Yeah, well I just want to say, so let's just write down Algeria. I wrote it down. And I think the whole idea that the French will... You think it's gonna be before Yemen? Yes. I think Yemen's gonna fall apart before that happens. I don't think there's a choice with Yemen. I think Yemen's out of control. By the way, when I hear this guy, I miss our Mac Daddy, man. Yeah, I'm gonna go track him down. We gotta see what's going on with him. So I guess in May, the, uh, what's it called? Brood 19 is popping. What's that? Brood 19 is the giant, I think it's every 13 years, these cicadas come out of the ground and start eating everything.

2:22:53 So I really like what- it's weird audio obviously, but I really like what this guy is saying because it makes a lot of sense and put a lot of dots together for me. Well, we'll see. if well the whole idea that because Algeria hasn't even been on the radar well we've got some celebrities left over we can we put up we got plenty I think they just met with Obama who can we put up in in Algeria we need a celebrity for Algeria Algeria is a good one because Algeria is a pretty cool place everyone who ever I haven't been there but everyone who goes there says really a nice place and it's huge it's

Brood 19 is popping. What's that? Brood 19 is the giant, I think it's every 13 years, these cicadas come out of the ground and start eating everything.

2:24:20 And this is the big one. This is the Brood 19 it's called and I have actually I was last time it hit it was in 1998 I remember this because we still had the house in New Jersey and we had a huge cicada problem Does everyone know what a cicada is? I don't think everyone only people from Chicago East know what these things are They don't really exist in the West and cicadas like a giant grasshopper that also referred to as a locust Although there's slightly there's different kinds of these animals, but they they they just essentially Make a lot of noise they pop up eight

2:25:03 85 decibels. Yeah, it's unbelievable. They pop out of the ground once every decade. It depends on the group. There's 12 year ones, but these are 13 years in cycle. They pop out by the billions, eat everything in sight, everything. And then they lay a bunch of eggs and die, and then they stink up the place because there's billions of dead bugs rotting everywhere. And they leave these shells, these big shells you crunch under your feet. So I... it's disgusting. They crunch when you eat them. So they're happening in May and I was reading about this and this is the big group and I was actually when I was a little kid we had an outbreak of these things in Chicago. You could hear just a buzzing sound everywhere I went but when I was in Atlanta where these things in the South is where it's really a problem right now. It was so noisy that you could barely get to sleep at night. It was just...

2:25:53 It was like 85 decibels, one bug can do that and you just have a million of them, billions. And so this is all happening in the South now? Well it's mostly in the South and the fact is is that I don't understand why they can't, because it's a disaster for the crops or trees are stripped. Can't we get some kind of a... Can't those guys like genetically modify them or something and make it into food for us? They got other things to do with their time. Genetically, I just don't modify these bugs, whatever you do. But anyway, I think they should turn this into a tourist attraction. You would. Don't you think? Yeah, hey go down south and catch a tornado while you're at it. I'm telling ya! How coincidental is it by the way that on the day of the Great American Shakeout

2:26:41 Did you see the video of that thing of that tornado by the way rhino the bearded is down there and like he knows people who got killed I mean is like his community has been decimated because of this is crazy. I saw that video I'm like wow and you know now they're talking of the I guess there were yeah But that was one at one point a hundred of those things were on the ground at the same time I mean if I in your head I'm looking at that and I'm going like maybe they were trying to get the earthquakes going for the drill and then they messed it up and turned it into these things. I mean, I've never seen anything like it. They happened in 1974 too. Yeah, well, there you go. I have never seen anything like it. And now they want to blow up the levee to flood like millions of acres?

2:27:25 Which of course is, you know, what is that? It's like 8 million pounds of water. Do you think that would set off some earthquakes? I mean, this is bad, bad news. They're gonna flood everything. Maybe they're gonna flood the cicadas. This is horrible and of course, you know, where's our celebrity telethon now? Oh, yeah, there's no I know these people are staying by the way Here's a classic again another link that came in from Mimi Which is apparently FEMA is not doing anything because they now they claiming this is out of Napolitano's office They say well, you know, nobody's asked us to help. Oh, geez, you can look into this It's like FEMA is like again

2:28:04 Do you know they're botching it like it with the with the with the hurricane Katrina they were down there screwing things up now. They're not even bothering They're just you know let people spend for themselves because instead we have to make sure that we're feeling up little children at the checkpoints They have to get ready for my reality show got no fraud no got absolutely no time to go down and say help people Horrible. This will be brushed under the, I mean this is a mess. I mean they showed pictures, it's just complete cities gone, just a bunch of rubble. And the president goes down, hello everybody! Unbelievable. Well he called a state of emergency, I guess that's good, but then it's still, where's everyone helping out?

2:28:56 I don't know. Where's Clooney? We need it now. Clooney's where's Clinton? Right. Clinton should be drawing attention to the thing while scoring the money. So amazing. For some reason, the Wall Street Journal drops off the Saturday and Sunday paper edition. They're trying to get me to buy it. And it includes the Wall Street Journal magazine made me throw up in my mouth. So they have these beautiful it's like a real luxury magazine with stuff you can never afford. Like a $20,000 toilet that heats your butt and rings and you know they've mansions. Just a bunch of decadent bull crap. Incredible decadent bull crap. It's like you're knocking at the wrong door buddy. I'm not gonna subscribe. And they have this whole pictorial of all the beautiful architecture, the gingerbread houses that are being restored and the Iron Gate Market in Haiti. It's unbelievable.

2:29:50 This is the thing that Clinton did, this whole restoration of the Iron Gate Market. Yeah, it looks great as long as you don't turn 180 degrees and look at the dead people pooping cholera in tents. Unbelievable.

Of course we've got the long in-between show space now, so we'll have tons of stuff to talk about on Thursday, I'm quite confident.

2:31:44 and uh... and a show clip what is a john the david brooks and self-service is that david brooks every group referring to the fact that and i he never blames anybody because he's got this like i said this new book coming out about but the butty but the underlying message here is that the self-esteem movement which began i don't know in the seventies or eighties has been basically ruined the country made everybody a bunch of ego maniacs and it's just the way you relate to this i thought was a very good uh... very good message okay Coming to you from Gitmo Nation West, the People's Republic of Southern California, for the 300th episode, I am Adam Curry. And I want to thank everybody who helped us out on this 300th episode. And by the way, it's May Day. I'm John C. Dvorak. We'll talk again on Thursday, right here on No Agenda. And I happened to hear a show called Command Performance, which was a rebroadcast of an old radio show. And the episode I heard was aired on VJ Day, the day we won World War II.

2:32:38 and Bing Crosby was the host of the show and all the big stars were on it, Bob Hope and Marlene Dietrich. He got out there and he said, we've just learned we won World War II. but I guess we're not proud, we just feel humble, we're just glad we got through it. And Burgess Meredith got out there and read a passage from Ernie Pyle, the great war correspondent. And Pyle wrote, we won this war because we have brave soldiers, we have great allies, we happen to have a lot of material abundance in this country, we didn't win it because we're God's chosen people, we didn't win it because we're anything special, we should just be glad and be worthy of the peace. And that tone of humility was so striking to me on the day they won World War II. Then I get home and I

2:33:16 turn on the TV, I'm watching football, and a cornerback tackles a wide receiver after a two-yard gain and does this victory dance to himself for his great achievement. And it occurred to me I had just seen greater self-puffery after a two-yard gain than winning World War II. And I do think this is a change from a culture of self-effacement, nobody's better than me, I'm no better than anybody else, to a culture of self-celebration. Look at me, I'm pretty damn good. And the polling data I used to support this is my favorite one, is that Gallup asked high school seniors in 1950, are you a very important person? And 12% said yes. In 2005 they asked again, are you a very important person? And it wasn't 12%, it was 80%.

2:34:02 And so that's just the change. And if you look at our math scores, we're in 36th in the world in math performance, but we're number one in the world in thinking we're really good at math. And so that's a change. And this expansion of the self I think has led to partisanship because I know the answers to everything and everybody else who disagrees with me is just in the way. I think it's led to the expansion of debt because why should I save for future generations? I'm here. I feel less connected to the broad change. And I think if you look at the societies that have done really well in math, they're the ones who have least confidence in their own abilities. And so I think the lesson from the research is that you should have a slightly above average view of yourself. You should exaggerate your virtues a little to make sure you go out and dare and try difficult things that are hard for you. But we've sort of taken it a bit to the extreme.

2:35:01 And one of the phrases that I think is the core of my political philosophy is the phrase epistemological modesty. Epistemology is the study of what you know, modesty is modesty. And we should all be aware of how little we know about ourselves, how little we know about the world, and we should prepare ourselves for those weaknesses at all times. Dvorak.org slash N-A-W-R-O-K
