Tart Cherry Juice!

00:00 There's a guy with a hookah! Yeah, everybody's happy up there in the north always. The guy was distorted. No, maybe just on your end. Well, maybe he's distorted. I don't know.

00:44 It's not easy. It's a Mickey Mouse setup. It's not like a professional deal. It's ridiculously overkill. You've got tons of gear there. I suppose studios would love to have some of the stuff you've got, including that collector's item. That's why the TLA-5052. That's why it's all distorted. It's because I've got too much gear. I guess, no, I don't know. In the morning to you, John. In the morning to you, in the morning all ships at sea and boots on the ground and feet in the air. Yeah, and ankles in the straps and of course all of our human resources charged up ready to go there in the chat room, noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net. You know that your value according to the US government is diminishing and of course it's accelerating with the drop of the value of the dollar.

01:27 So whereas you used to be 9.2 million dollars when you're born, I think it's probably more like 8 now. Well it depends on when you were born. Some of us have no value at all. Present company excluded, of course. I think the dollar's up. Against the euro it is yeah a little no actually no no the euro went back up a bit I've been watching it it went from Yeah, no I went from 145 to 135 in like 48 hours last week and now it's I think it's back up like 137 and a bit something like that yeah well that's better than 142 which has been sitting at forever crude oil is down yeah oh well damn sell the futures

02:14 Whatever, or buy them. I don't know. I don't invest. Buy the cells. I don't invest. Hey, good to have you back, John. I presume your trip was fine there to Brasilia? Yeah, it was a good short trip, of course, but I've been to Brazil before. It's not like I've never seen the place. And You say that so it's so but it's not I've never seen the place like yeah, I've been all over this globe I have yeah, that's true and You know it was it was what it was it was interesting. Yeah, I'll tell you this a little they seem to have a booming economy going on and

02:54 And when you start asking around about it, everybody's just busy. The traffic is ludicrous. Well if traffic were a major then California would be awesome. Well I know but we've been that way for a long time. Actually Thailand is bad, Taiwan is ridiculous. All around the world traffic is something that no one wants to deal with. In Gitmo Nation lowlands, every single morning, you know they have traffic reports which only reports the length of the backups. There's no alternative routes or anything. It's just, and it's always hundreds of kilometers every single morning, every single afternoon. Nothing ever changes. On the

03:35 trip out of town there I have a photo I'm gonna try it if I see how it came out there's a I think you would have to look at all the lanes and count them up and it would be a 30 lane freeway cool 15 going each way kidding me right no No. 15 lanes each side? Yeah. Can you imagine I gotta get to the exit? You better plan in advance. You actually have to do a spreadsheet to get off the thing. Wow. So you just kind of like Japanese subways just take what you... I'll take this exit I can get to this one. And so um... Dad stopped.

04:17 Hey, I am 30 lanes of traffic going both ways not no movement Wow, but you made your flight obviously yeah, I had to you leave three hours in advance for the airport takes you about an hour and a half and You know then you get on you're fine. Of course the airports there. They don't have the scanners and by the way They don't have in New York either the naked body scanner They didn't have a naked body scanner in New York. I went through New York on the way back and I had to get off the plane and go through the system again. There's no naked body scanner. Wait a minute, so you could have had all kinds of explosives in your underpants, landed in New York, just like the guy who came in from Amsterdam. He was going to land in Detroit. You could have landed in New York and then you could have gotten on a flight to San Francisco and burned your crotch.

05:05 Without a problem, you know the interesting thing even if they had the scanners is they can still stick the stuff up the various body cavities and Where the Sun don't shine you could actually you could swallow a bomb that it was remote control and just it's just Dial yourself on the cell phone and blow yourself up. I mean this is this is false security. It doesn't work We know the Brazil yeah, and this has been going on way before 9-11 you go to the it They have the Israeli form of well they question you yeah the guy some guy questions you ask you stupid questions We're really what were you here for what really what was that all about so what it was so what is your speech about oh?

05:43 It's a speech about future trends. Oh, no, you didn't do that one. Did you it's a classic? Do you have a PowerPoint that goes with that? Are you just you know, I'll tell you look if you do speaking in today's world, especially to business Conferences and you don't do PowerPoint you're out making a huge mistake, right? I spent years experimenting with showing movies doing stand-up speeches with no PowerPoint it doesn't work anymore between no You have to have PowerPoint because people are either going to fall asleep or they sometimes they just zone out on the PowerPoint. It's good you can keep your notes up there you don't have to keep referring to anything. Anyway so... Do you have it like do you have your email address at the top there? Hi I'm John C. Dvorak you can reach me at Dvorak.org slash NA.

06:32 That'd be funny to slip that in. So while the TSA was not checking your underwear, they were pretty busy back here in Gitmo Nation West. The one who really unraveled this entire unbelievable scheme, law enforcement officials and the TSA actually helping drug traffickers get through airports in three separate states. Detectives with the DEA and the US Attorney's Office made that announcement during a news conference today in Stanford. We know that three TSA agents and two cops are among 20 people who were arrested in this conspiracy to traffic massive amounts of oxycodone from Florida all the way up the East Coast for distribution in Connecticut and in New York. Authorities say during that scheme, TSA agents would get the drugs through security checkpoints in exchange for money or gift cards. I love that part. These guys are so stupid.

07:24 Then not only are they trafficking drugs, but they're accepting gift cards as payment. How does that work? Oh yeah, walk on through. Walk on through. Oh, Walgreens flu shot card, thanks. Awesome. Go ahead, you're cleared. Go on through. That's our TSA. Funny how that's only on local news. We didn't hear it. No, of course not. You know we had a lot- Why would they suppress such a news story so it's only on local news? I'm surprised it even showed up on local news. Well you have to be afraid. And the TSA is there to protect your security. We had a lot of fun yesterday I don't know when you came back, but I sent out a rare bat signal before a day before the show and I needed some producers to help me with a mission and we had a little bit of fun with What's that guy names from NPR Randy Carvin Andy Carvin?

08:22 You know that guy? Yeah, this is your favorite, this is your pal. Yeah, my techno expert pal. So this is the guy who tweets revolutions and he retweets anything that anyone's, anything that has a hashtag that says I'm a good guy. And he's the senior social media strategist for NPR, our national treasure. So yesterday was the start of Occupy Wall Street.

08:59 Which is which was announced in like mid-july and it's actually it's a worldwide movement if you go to occupy Wall Street org you'll see that on September 17th around the globe people were going to financial centers and protesting protesting the fact that they're douchebags and have all the money and we don't they're pretty good protest and And of course this has no leader to speak of. It's just an actual kind of real grassroots people are angry kind of thing. Yeah, I find that hard to believe. What? That they're angry? No, I don't find that hard to believe. I find it hard to believe that there's not somebody coordinating this for some other reason. No, I've really scoured it and there was no coordination otherwise it would have been done better and it certainly is not coordinated from the State Department's techno experts.

09:50 Because there was a it was kind of fun. You had live streams and the hashtag was you know every probably every 10 seconds there be a hundred tweets coming in so I'm following this and I you know and you know me I've got all my TVs on I'm like yes, I'm sure CNN will show something And there was a couple thousand people down there on Wall Street. The cops had the bull cordoned off. That was kind of funny. They were protecting the bull on Wall Street. That was their main job. You know, if you had a shot at that bull and under some circumstance and you had a couple of cans of spray paint, you could have a lot of fun. Of course. But that seems to be like the symbol.

10:27 Mayor Bloomberg... Mayor Bloo... by the way... Why don't you explain, there's some listeners that probably don't know what you're saying. You should just... Well down by Wall Street there is a bull which signifies the bull market I presume. I wouldn't know any other reason why. I think it's down by the Morgan Stanley Plaza or whatever it is. Yeah it's a very nice, it's a big giant carving, not a carving but a casting, huge! And a bull looks like it's gonna kill someone. Yeah, like he's ready to charge. And if you look at him from behind, he's anatomically correct. And my goodness, that guy has some balls on him. What a big bull. And Bloomberg said, well, this is not a legal demonstration. Because people are coming anyway, we've set up free speech zones.

11:18 which I think were in the Hudson River. Of course everyone ignored that. So it's a demonstration and people are out there and they're holding up signs and they're walking around and they're making noise. there's no coverage that in fact quite the opposite there's no coverage no quite the opposite I love the media is just not no it got better all this it got better on so you go look at that bull boys yeah on CNN and Fox both they had the some guy talking about the Reno Air Race crash it was like oh we have to cut live to this I mean there's thousands of people protesting bankers on Wall Street and it's happening globally

11:57 So I'm watching this, I'm watching this, and people are like, and of course the hashtag isn't really trending on Twitter, you know, all this typical stuff that you would expect. I'm watching them like this is it's interesting because this is It's a protest. It's against the it's not Much different probably than what happened in Israel recently People you know they're sick and tired of it. They can't afford it the bankers get bailed out and so I'm waiting I'm waiting I'm cruising around and there's no blog post from nothing complete silence from the media now And this has been well known and announced in advance in July so you think that CNN or

12:36 Maybe even New York one would send a crew down just to have a look and do a report I mean, it's a slow news day except for the you know the Constant replay of this airplane crashing which is like believe. Yeah, we talked about yeah, so I'm like to see here. So I'm like so I send a tweet to Randy Carvin His name is Andy, but I figure it'll piss him off if I keep calling him Randy So I send a tweet to Randy and I say hey Randy. I How come you're not retweeting any of this? And by the way, he was tweeting about the Reno air crash and tweeting about the University of Florida football. I'm like, hey, you know, there's something going on here. Don't you cover that? And he goes like.

13:22 No, it's not interesting. It's not big enough. I only cover Middle East. Oh, this is new. I didn't know he only covered the Middle East. I didn't know that either. Well, apparently he's now only with the Middle East desk. So he has nothing to do because that's all done, right? We've taken over. There's nothing left to tweet. So he's just sitting at home tweeting about the Reno air crash and then I'm like, well, that makes no sense. You know, this is people, it's a demonstration. There's a protest going on. This is what you're good at. Reporting on this, retweeting, curating. And he's like, no, you know, and literally like, look at the Middle East, now look at Wall Street, look at the difference in size, discuss. So, oh yeah, oh yeah, no, the tweet stream is absolutely hilarious. In fact, maybe I should, let me see, I have it here. I can read some of them. So I'm like, all right, this is kind of weird. And it goes back and forth. And he's like, you know, so of course I hashtag him with like techno expert.

14:20 And then he's like, I find it hilarious and ironic that Adam Curry is calling me out on this. You know, like a link to my wiki. You got into a beef with the guy? Yeah, it was funny. So then I'm like, all right, you know, watch this douche. So I send out the bat signal. And I'm like, hey, everyone get on carving about this because, you know, this is ridiculous. And, um, And everyone just starts just ragging on him and of course he has his little army of people like you know And he actually says don't try and pressure a journalist That's a sure way to get him not to not to look at anything. I'm like what this guy is He's an idiot a total idiot. No. He's a douchebag. Yeah, well besides land. Yeah, absolutely

15:10 Here, I don't cover US economy and related matters. I'm just reading some of his tweets here. Let's see, what else does he have? Someone tweeted the best one. It's not a revolution until Andy Carvin retweets it. I thought that was kind of funny. So it just kept on going. This probably went on for Don't know maybe two hours or so and it really heated up. It was it was interesting, but he didn't he did not tweet about it Of course not, but then I also did these marching orders Yeah, he only tweets about what he's told to tweet about you can't pressure him so that pressure a journalist when he's already got marching orders and then I I tweet him like the the NPR sponsor list and I said hey, that's funny Citibank

16:05 Bank of America, US Bank, all sponsoring NPR. I wonder why you're not covering this. Oh good one. Oh yeah, it's a PDF. It's from 2008, but you know, because of course they haven't released any current numbers. God forbid they do that. And then I say, hey, how about the 400,000 people who were protesting in Israel? And I went back, he hasn't tweeted about that once because you're right, and last time I checked I think Israel is in the Middle East isn't it? Isn't it kind of like in that region? I believe it to be there, yes. I think so. And it's just unbelievable that this guy has the... and if you Google around and you look at the YouTube videos, the interviews, he's all coy like I'm Randy Carvin and I'm sitting here and yeah, yeah, I brought NPR into the 21st century. Yeah, yeah, we got it all set up. And I said, well dude, if you're all set up then... if you look at his Google Plus it says, I tweet revolutions. That's his tagline.

17:07 Oh brother. Anyway it was a fun way to pass a couple hours on a Sunday afternoon. But this guy he really bit into it and I want to thank all the producers who got on board with that because it is of course sad at the end of the day where you have actual people with an actual beef protesting and there's no coverage not even from the guy who's supposed to be on our side. He's just marching orders. Yeah. I mean, I don't even know why we, I mean, why would you just accept the fact that these guys are told what to do? They can't think for themselves. There's no, I mean, what's the point of having a Middle Eastern beat? This is not what Twitter's for. Yeah, it's ridiculous. And I bet you if somebody did some research, I find he tweeted about a lot of things other than the Middle East. That's what people were doing. They're pulling it apart. You know, like, hey, dude, you tweeted this, you tweeted that he was tweeting about Wisconsin.

18:06 Yeah, because his orders were to blast that Republican. Exactly. He's obviously part of the Democrat machine. Yes, well we know that. We know that from his wiki page. But anyways, it was kind of like a last-ditch effort to see if this guy maybe, maybe, maybe... No, you were living in a dream world. Well, no. To even think that... I had nothing better to do. Come on. You should have just from the beginning knew this was guys a ridiculous douchebag. Douchebag, yeah. Hey, John, I have to say the president came out Let me rephrase that. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, that would be funny, wouldn't it? No, I wouldn't surprise anybody. His weekly address, let me play you a 15 second clip. On Monday, I'll lay out my plan for how we'll do that. I will pay for this plan and pay down our debt by following some basic principles.

18:55 Making sure we live within our means. That's John. It's the American dream live within your means We got to make sure we live within our means and and asking everyone to pay their fair share man Pay your fair share share share fair share, but right now what? Nothing go on finish get Congress to pass this jobs bill pass this jobs bill all right So guess what I did over the weekend you paid your fair share No, no That I will do when Mimi gives me all the details of what fair share I have to pay. We have to coordinate that this year. No, I read the American Jobs Act, so you don't have to. And you were right, it's 199 pages.

19:44 this American Jobs Act and I've taken the liberty of highlighting a couple of pieces of it. No, there's a lot of gems in there. Have you read it? No. Okay, so don't worry, I read it so you don't have to. I'm glad. And let me say this right off the bat, I agree with the President, I think we should pass this bill as quickly as possible. It is absolutely essential that we pass this bill because it will be a bonanza It will be so awesome and it will accelerate the demise that much quicker. So if we can pass this whole thing, awesome. Let me tell you what's in here for jobs. First of all, there's a billion dollars in here for air traffic control advancements.

20:34 And if you read down a little bit further, you'll see there's $27 billion, which a large portion is going to be appropriated towards the next-gen air traffic control system. Now we've discussed this, this next generation air traffic control system advancement as he calls it here and that is so that we can have the drones flying around without crashing into other aircraft. Right, that we keep forgetting that. Let's mark that one off, I'm happy with that. We need the drones, so let's get our drones in. Then we have capital assistance for high-speed rail corridors.

21:12 which starts off with four billion dollars here for the first year. Very good, I think we need that. That's been proven. Just look at China. And that's by the way, that is to benefit Warren Buffett who's on board with all this stuff. On board, on board. So that's four billion dollars that, just look at China. It's really great, working well. So I'm all for that. Yeah, between crashes, between deaths. And slowdowns. Slowdowns and then stoppages. It's the mid-speed rail in China now. Then of course we have to put another $2 billion into the National Railroad Passenger Corporation. That's so that Joe Biden can get from Pennsylvania to Washington quicker. So I'm happy with that. That's very good. We'll put that one in. And then we have a name, a new name. AIFA. And I hadn't heard this term before. It stands for the American Infrastructure Financing Authority, which is the I-Bank.

22:10 The investment bank, remember the infrastructure bank that he was talking about? Everyone was saying we need an infrastructure bank. This is it. And some very interesting things. So the way the infrastructure bank works is there's a whole bunch of projects that you can bid on and you will get a loan in all cases a minimum of 50% which will cost no less than the yield on a treasury bond. So interest is like nothing, which is great. I'll read you a couple highlights. So the any investment that the infrastructure bank makes must have a investment grade rating.

22:56 Now you do a show with Andrew Horowitz, you know about this stuff. What is an investment grade rating? We know that America had a triple A and was recently downgraded to double A by standards and poors. What is investment grade? What level? It's kind of a meaningless term because it depends. This is for big funds and union funds and these giant agglomerations of retirement funds that people put together and they'll have a minimum standard they would like they will not invest in the into right bonds or something they don't have like double it you typically it's double a plus oh no no the Obama standard for and for something that our taxpayer money will go into is BBB minus

23:43 Oh. That is investment grade according to the Obama administration. BBB minus. Huh. Yeah, I thought that was interesting. I wonder why that would be that, because there's so many good investments above that rating that it's baffling why you'd have that even on the list. That's so any shithead can come in and do anything they want with a flaky project. That's what it sounds like now. Here's how it works so you get your money, and I know by the way I'll bring that up with Horowitz. Yeah, please do it And I've highlighted the PDF so you can download it from three four zero dot na show notes calm in the assets Section you'll find it there. It'll say American jobs acts a PDF So here's how it works you get money from the government

24:33 At least 50% in some cases they will finance everything. We'll get to that later You have 35 years to pay it back 35 years I just repeat that 35 years and by the way if you don't use all the money you can use what's left over to start paying it down so you can basically stretch this out 40 years if you want maybe even longer and But then, the federal credit instrument shall be repayable in whole or in part from tolls, user fees, or other dedicated revenue sources that also secure the infrastructure project obligations.

25:11 So in other words, we're going to pay, we're going to lend these people who have BBB minus investment opportunities, we're going to pay our money is going to them. They may or may not have to put up the other half of the money, but of course if the government's financing you can get the bank to finance the other part so you don't have to actually have anything. And then when it's built, you're going to be paying for it with tolls and user fees. How great is that? It's a form of taxation. You think? So here it is, maturity date, 35 years after date of substantial completion of the infrastructure project. So not even 35 years after the money, it's like after it's completed and it's really signed off and the ribbon has been cut, that's when you have to start paying it back. So you're telling me that if you do pull a chiner, a scam where you just start the project but you never quite finish it?

26:09 You could do you just stretch it out forever. Yeah, we've got one more brick to lay. Yeah It's like that twitch studio. It'll never be finished So you don't have to end up to pay anything back. So that's that's pretty good Then we have another section section 261 project rebuild now this one I found very interesting where $15 billion will be made available per year of this, and it's like a five-year act, to purchase homes that have been foreclosed.

26:50 purchase and rehabilitate properties that have been abandoned or foreclosed upon in order to sell, rent, or redevelop such properties. And this is a 100% coverage. So you don't have to put up any money. The government will basically give anyone who asked for it, and you have at least a BBB minus credibility, they'll give you the money to buy a home and then rent it out. What? Yeah. So you can, so you get this money to, I'll read it verbatim, purchase and rehabilitate properties that have been abandoned or foreclosed upon in order to sell, rent, or redevelop such properties. So I guess I can just say look here's a whole neighborhood that's closed down, everyone's either abandoned it or it's been foreclosed on. I can get a loan from the government to go and buy all of that and then rent it out

27:52 At almost any rate I'll make money because you know I don't have to start paying anything back until the project's complete. So I'll just keep one road under construction. Right, so you have 20 buildings, you start fixing them up and you have the 20th building, you never quite finish it, and you keep working on it because you're going to really make it fancy. Yeah. And so the project as a whole project, which would include fixing all 20 buildings. Cost me nothing. Cost me nothing to do. Forever, because you can always just stall on that last building. Isn't that cool? That's very cool. Let's get in on this. That's what I'm thinking. We definitely got to get in on this.

28:29 And here it is, no match. No matching fund shall be required in order for an eligible entity to receive any amounts under this section. So John, as long as we can write the proposal, we don't need any money. Which is good because we don't have any money. Then there's the whole emergency broadband infrastructure project. This is so that there's going to be a great broadband network only, guess what, it's not for you and me, this wireless broadband network, it's for Lucy Napolitano and for FEMA and stuff. But there's a little clause in here which is nice. The corporation shall negotiate and enter into, as it terms appropriate, roaming agreements with commercial network providers to allow the nationwide public safety interoperable broadband users to roam onto commercial networks and gain prioritization of public safety communications over such networks in times of an emergency.

29:26 So a couple things going on here. One, of course they're not going to build anything. It's just going to be doing network agreements because there's coverage. And by the way, who's going to get in on these deals? AT&T, Verizon, it's going to be the same guys. They get the money for free to build something out, then they get the charge extra the if the emergency services have to roam onto their networks let's face it there they'll be roaming all the time yep and if there's some kind of emergency there goes your stick your Skype connection because the they will have prioritization over the network in time of an emergency you have to stop here mm-hmm what does this got to do with jobs

30:09 Well it'll take people to, it'll take lawyers to put these agreements together and you know there's lots of... Oh it's a full employment act for lawyers. Yes exactly, exactly. So here it says public safety entity equipment is technically compatible. It's also for the, this is for the Silicon Valley, it's for the Cisco's. They got to make new, because they're auctioning off the spectrum, so they're gonna make new boxes. The commercial network will be reasonably compensated. It's fantastic. Oh, and it says here, such access does not preempt or otherwise terminate or degrade all existing voice conversations or data sessions. Right. Then we have the bridge. What was that again? Does this say Skype will still work? Think about that.

30:58 Let me just read it to make sure. Commission may adopt rules if necessary in the public interest to improve the ability of public safety users to roam on the commercial networks, to gain priority access to commercial networks in an emergency if... in an emergency if... so they can roam it... okay, such access does not preempt or otherwise terminate or degrade all existing voice conversations or data sessions. That's pretty shaky language. Yeah, it means it won't terminate all of them, so it could terminate 99% of them. Some of them, some of them, exactly. But here's the one that I thought we could get in on, the Bridge to Work program. Now this is very interesting. Part of this is the Pathways Back to Work, as a part of the, and this subtitle may be cited as the Pathways Back to Work Act of 2011. Essentially, the government will pay

31:52 people to work at your company as like a paid volunteer. Yeah, no I heard about this. This has been discussed. That's one of the things I do know about and it seems as though you can you hire some, you actually get an intern. No, no, no, no, up to 38 hours a week. Well more than an intern. That's more than an intern. You have an intern plus. Yeah and they will get paid minimum wage Minimum wage in states that adopt this program, which let's face it, everyone will adopt it. California for sure. Yeah, so I can hire like five people. I don't have to pay them anything and the state of California will pay the minimum wage to learn.

32:36 From the podfather. The on high from the podfather. Yeah, the only problem is there is a downside to having to fight people. You have to manage them. I'm just saying, it's all just dreams John. It's not actually something I want to do. But here it is, the wages payable to individuals described in paragraph one should be paid from the emergency unemployment compensation account for such individuals as described in the, I did all this work, you know, you go back and forth, section 402, blah, blah, blah. But it will be a minimum wage. And there's two levels, you have the level for 25 hours a week, that will be part-time, and 38 hours a week, and that will be for a max of eight weeks per person. I think that's a pretty good deal.

33:24 Bridge to work you can only hire them for eight weeks each person so you can get another douche out you know a slave It's another slave Another now the real slave wanted No, you're not allowed to advertise that that that yeah, you're not allowed to advertise Are you unemployed have we got a gig for you? How do you get these people? Does somebody just knock on the door by coincidence? No, you're allowed to advertise, but if someone shows up and they can actually sue you if you discriminate, that's another part of the bill, if you discriminate because someone has been unemployed. So here's how it goes. It's very simple.

34:08 Because I've been through these tests. Right now you can't discriminate against handicapped people as an example. And if I have an interview with someone and I say, so that wheelchair, does that suck? Going up and down the elevator or stairs? If I don't hire that person, they have a very, very good case against me to sue me for discrimination because I asked the question. I cannot ask in a job interview, how old are you? if I ask someone how old they are and you say well I'm 58 and I say oh that's great yeah cool and I don't hire you you can say hey he asked me how old I was and I saw in the room it went cold and the guy's clearly discriminating against me because I'm old. Yeah so you cannot... I took these things too, especially in California they're onerous. You basically can't do anything you just have to kind of figure it out everything out for yourself. Yeah so

35:04 You cannot advertise and say, are you out of work? Come work for me. You'll learn video production. I can't say that. That's just a caveat because of course anyone who responds is going to be out of work no matter what in California. But then we have the summer employment and year-round employment opportunities for low-income youth. And these are the real slaves because of course youths get minimum wage and the government will also pay for them. to come and work for free at your company, which is just awesome. Then we have, let me just see a couple other things here.

35:46 Yeah, here it is employment agency as an employment agency It shall be unlawful employment practice for an employment agency to publish in print or on the internet or in any other medium and advertisement or announcement for any vacancy in a job as an employee that includes Provision stating or indicating that an individual status as unemployed disqualifies blah blah blah blah blah. So you essentially you can't say, you know, are you unemployed? So that's the stuff that no one is talking about at all. So essentially rolled into this is the high-speed rail project, the infrastructure bank and slaves for free. Which I think is great. We should pass this bill. I don't even care. I don't want to read the next part about how it's going to get paid for. I think we should just go ahead and pass it. It'll be awesome. Free labor, free slave labor, high-speed trains, drones in the air,

36:41 And all kinds of... Oh, and free homes! You and I can buy up a whole bunch of free homes. And I'm all for that one. So that's it. You don't have to read it. You're done. If you want to, there is a copy with my highlights in the show notes at 340.nashownotes.com. And I would please ask you, if you love Barack Obama, go out and tell your congressman to go pass this bill. It's good stuff. It'll be great for us. I get the biggest kick out of this because Buffett again shows up with his, I think everyone should get more taxes. Can you give me that high speed rail deal?

37:21 And so now Obama apparently says, I didn't hear this, but he calls the proposal about taxing the rich, which is overtaxing or taxing more anyone worth a million dollars or more. Which is part of this proposal you're talking about. Calls it the Buffett rule. So now it's associated with Buffett. So every one of his rich buddies is going to be giving him nothing but grief about this because you can see this trend worldwide. It's starting in Italy and there's a thing called in Europe, which is gonna sneak over here, called the wealth tax. Yes, that's what this is. It's basically the same as an inventory tax that ruined a lot of book publishers because they used to keep a lot of stuff in inventory but they got taxed. It was sitting in a warehouse and every, you know, every once in a while they get taxed for what's sitting there doing nothing. You know what's happened in Gitmo Nation lowlands at the moment? If you have a second home, if you live in the Gitmo Nation state of the lowlands, the Netherlands,

38:19 you have more than one house. So let's say you have a Pied-a-terre in Amsterdam because the traffic is so horrible you have a little flat or whatever. The government has now decided you cannot live there, you must leave and they will rent it out to someone at a rate that they determine. What's the point of that? Well, so the people, you know, when you have slave quarters So if you have more than one home, your second home, I'm not quite sure... What about these guys that have like, that'll never happen here because we have congressmen that have got seven places. That's what you think? Well yeah, because they have it themselves. Yeah. Yeah.

39:04 Well, it's about ownership. Ownership is being taxed. That's the main problem. Yeah, this is similar to an inventory tax, but there's going to be, it's going to sneak in, it's going to be called what it's called in Europe, the wealth tax. And only the most, you know, the richest people in the world, they can spend, they can give us some of their money and it'll be, you know, target, you know, people worth 10 and 20 and $30 million. It's not going to target anybody in our league, but it's going to target these guys. And they're just gonna say, what do you want? You know, they're bringing the tax guys are gonna come in and there's gonna be a big, you know, a lot of lawyers are gonna make money on this deal and then they're gonna just get a bill for like, you know, two million dollars. In Gitmo Nation East in the UK, they just hired an additional 3,000 tax inspectors. And guess what their mission is? Not to inspect banks. It's to inspect slaves. To come and see if you're on the up and up. If you are paying your taxes.

40:00 Anyway, hey John, happy National Farm Safety and Health Week to you. And happy Farm Safety and Health Week to you too. Yes, and let's thank a couple of our producers who have supported our work, which consisted a lot of the past few days in between shows of reading 199 pages of great policy and uh... and listen to the air crash news and pestering randy corbin i'm just gonna let this new name randolph at one executive producer into associates can this low weekend have thoughts on that uh... fought in our for i think it may be for now

40:47 Fotenhauer. Fotenhauer. Fotenhauer. Couldn't tag him. Fotenhauer. He's from Tampa. Tampa, Florida. That's one of the greatest places in the world if you like strip clubs. From the beautiful state of Béarn on assignment to Oktoberfest in Giebel, he's actually in Deutschland. Ah, jawohl! That makes more sense. Hold on, so I was right about the TSA on the way over here. I'm all done! I was selected for the ray machine and of course I opted out when directed to proceed to the pat-down area. I instinctively began walking towards the magnetometer and boy did the agents go ape shit.

41:24 God help us that the terrorists never realized the trick to sneaking metal objects into the plane. Please send me some karma as I have to... It's just baffling to me why they do that. Let me send him some karma first and then we can discuss. You've got karma. He sent me some Carmite to deal with the appliance repairman upon my return and I figured you could use the donation a hell of a lot more than he can. Oh thank you. And he did the 340. So I was leaving when I left to Brazil so I go over there and they got they're pushing people through the x-ray machine and every tenth person or so they run through the magnetometer and not the x-ray machine.

42:01 So I throw my bags on there and there's one guy directing traffic. You go here, you go there. He had his back turned so I went over to the magnetometer and walked right through. He had his back turned, he was too busy counting his gift cards. I don't know what he was doing. Whatever the case was, he didn't motion me into the machine, which happened the last time when I went through Seattle. So I just went right through the magnetometer and it was fine. The guy was, yeah, come on through, you know, with the hand gesture. Yeah. And I didn't beep or anything. And, um, That was that. Anyway, and on the way back you go through Brazil they got none of these x-ray machines and they didn't have any in New York and so it was like a it was a walk in the park but and you know why why shouldn't it be? Yeah. David C. Pugh, North Canton, Ohio, $200 looking forward to the No Agenda Guantanamo Bay meetup. It'll be the forced meetup unfortunately. The forced meetup at Gitmo. And we'll be drinking water that night.

43:03 certain sir no Norman McDonough forced it sir Norman McDonough is also in a $200 another associate executive producer in Kitchener Ontario this starts my second knighthood my thanks to Eric the shill and he knows why he's not talking please send some karma his way karma for the show you've got karma that's interesting and that's it for our slightly slow week for the... You know what? So you said you had thoughts on that, why it was slow? Yeah. I've decided... I'm just not gonna care anymore. I'm just really happy that in these times of distress that we're getting anything, really. So I'm just gonna be happy from now on. I'm happy. The show may go off the air, but I'll be happy.

42:01 So I throw my bags on there and there's one guy directing traffic. You go here, you go there. He had his back turned so I went over to the magnetometer and walked right through. He had his back turned, he was too busy counting his gift cards. I don't know what he was doing. Whatever the case was, he didn't motion me into the machine, which happened the last time when I went through Seattle. So I just went right through the magnetometer and it was fine.

43:03 certain sir no Norman McDonough forced it sir Norman McDonough is also in a $200 another associate executive producer in Kitchener Ontario this starts my second knighthood my thanks to Eric the shill and he knows why he's not talking please send some karma his way karma for the show you've got karma that's interesting and that's it for our slightly slow week for the... You know what? So you said you had thoughts on that, why it was slow? Yeah. I've decided... I'm just not gonna care anymore. I'm just really happy that in these times of distress that we're getting anything, really. So I'm just gonna be happy from now on. I'm happy. The show may go off the air, but I'll be happy.

44:04 We have some people who've done some fun stuff for us. They've done some PR and a lot of that consists of thinking up crazy domain names that we'll forward to our show, which actually works quite well. I've started using a couple of them depending on the conversation. Because people, it's for something, you know, we don't have noagenda.com, which is like owned by some band or something that we can't get a hold of. Now we have no agenda show. That's a way for the band to fold. No, I think the band is, this website hasn't been updated since 1994. Oh, so they probably have folded. Yeah. But when you say, yeah, the show's no agenda, people are like, so how do I get no agenda.com? Now no agenda show.com. And they can never remember it.

44:43 Well, I always tell people, I don't even do that, I always tell people just to Google no agenda because then I said we got that we own the first four pages of the search results and if I can get them to do that it's very impressive if you've never heard of the show and you type in no agenda into Google and you get bang bang bang bang bang four pages and another eight pages of mixed results. I mean it's impressive. It is but I also just like saying rickperrysucks.com AdiosMofos.com ShutUpSlaves.com depending on the company that I'm in. And now we can also say jcdleaderoftheresistance.com which is forwarding to the show site. Remember the computer spit that back is who you are, you're the leader of the resistance. You could also try totalbullshit.org which I think is also a nice one. I just have to remember the .org part. Hold on, I think I may have missed one here. astarinthenorth.com, that's what the other one was. Massdebatedaily.com

45:40 Here's the next one. I kind of like gov snub.com. It's kind of kind of cool. It's a short one It's hard to get short domain names in honor of so lynda we have shovel ready green jobs calm and attack watch 1984 calm I also thought was Actually quite nice. It's a good one. We are the attack watch 1984 We need some, I want to suggest to our creative listeners that we need some, because I was in the lounge at JFK waiting for my flight and there was a bunch of people there yakking about

46:20 Doing good work, and it's important Obama get reelected. There was just a bunch of bomb of bots You were in the bot lounge apparently I was in the bot line airline What airline was this and this would Delta and one of these are off the list? Older women were was going on about how you know, but the classic, you know hand wringing fretting guilt-ridden Jewish type Said something like well, you know people need to be more active. We need activists We need to people have to get in there because if you have to put you have to do something you just can't sit around You can't sit around in a lounge bitching about it. Exactly. So I'd like to get something that has some sort of a sound to it, like it's like some sort of an environmental green or even a global warming kind of a sound that you could give to somebody like, oh yeah, you know, go to greenenergy.org or something that has that ring to it so then they get sucked into the agenda thing. Because I still think a lot of people who are

47:19 who are thinking, whose thought process is skewed could be converted. Although in fact I still recommend that people only convert or turn people on who are already converted because it's like you know making people change religion it's not necessarily that easy. So we then would need to start the show because if we have like Go green for Obama calm just as a perfect just as an idea right go green for Obama then when we have to start the show off like this would be like Hi everybody, we're here to save the world one tree at a time. It's all green solar, great wind power is going to do it for us. Hey John C. Dvorak, how are you doing up there in environmentally friendly Berkeley? I'm breathing clean air and I'm thinking green, Adam. I'm pooping green down here, John. It's a beautiful...

48:14 And then we'd suck them in and then we go straight into the into our rap constructing some stories. Yeah, we go straight into the rap Well, thank you all very much for for working on our PR efforts Thank you to our executive producer for today's program Philip Futten hauer our associate executive producer sir, David Pugh and I'm sorry, David. I think he's not a sir David Pugh and our we do have a sir Norma Dono, Mick Donna McDonald McDonagh We appreciate your support of the program. It's really great. I do have another idea for to motivate people and to consider donating to the show, which I'll do at the very end of the program. It's a new experiment that I'm working on. So you can look forward to that. These, by the way, these executive producer credits and associate executive producer credits are real credits. Just like our knighthoods, it's a real knighthood. You get a knighthood ring when you've supported the show at or in excess of $1,000.

49:11 It's a beautiful white gold ring that when you hit someone in the face or in the mouth for that matter it'll say in the morning and hit him in the mouth in Latin. It's a signet ring so it's in mirror script and these credits you can put them anywhere unlike the way they do it in Hollywood the phonies here if someone actually says hey what kind of credit is that? Well, you can just say it's a real executive producer credit. I worked on the show, I'm a producer and I supported that episode just like CSI or any other sitcom like Two and a Half Men or whatever you have and we will vouch for you. We'll gladly take the call and gladly help out. Of course, you can always do one thing which costs no money and that is propagate the formula. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth.

50:11 Shut up, slave. And I want to remind people that Dvorak.org slash NA and channel Dvorak.com slash NA, noagendanation.com and noagendashow.com are vehicles into which you can access the donation page. Dvorak.org slash NA I got my own. I got my own bill here. Did you buy one? No, that's my sample. Oh the sample. Yeah, good. You can't do this No, I can't but why but why would I want to you can't do this? So you can't do that true yeah, all right back to the show oh

51:06 Yeah, I got plenty today, so I'll just kick back since I've taken up about 45 minutes of our time deconstructing the best jobs bill in the universe! Yeah, well, I got a couple things that are kind of interesting, a little different. Uh, this one is interesting. This is a, uh, I think this is one of the networks trying to slam Viacom, to be honest about it. I'll explain why when I play the tees. But, uh, play Jump Cuts Make You Fat. You have two so number one that doesn't have the two on it obviously. Does this have long-term effects and school performance attention problems even lead to obesity? So you know there there's a very good chance that these these results would be extrapolated. So the bottom line from the study is that it's not just quantity of television but

51:56 I mean Robin, how would you define fast-paced television? Well in the study it talks about how often a scene is changed completely So they're in the kitchen. They're in the bedroom. They're in the swimming in the swimming pool. How often does that happen? Hey, you know, this is really interesting was this on NPR as well because I heard this and it was actually was about SpongeBob SquarePants play the jump cut strut part two and this is the kicker okay up next the negative impact that fast-paced cartoons for example Spongebob might have on your children's development we'll talk about that right after this

52:36 Yeah, you know, so I heard this on our national treasure. This was on a morning show on the run. Right, no, no, no, what that means is there's a PR company out there peddling some kind of study that was done. Yeah, but why are they blasting Spongebob in both instances? I don't consider SpongeBob the fast... I mean you watch Hawaii Five-O or anything on normal television nowadays. It's extremely fast-paced. What I understood about the SpongeBob SquarePants thing is that things happen that can't really happen in the real world because it's a... what is that called? Oh yeah, it's a cartoon! and things take place, it's kind of like Wile E. Coyote, you know, like you strap some rockets onto your feet and you can fly over the canyon. Yeah, or you run off a cliff and you stand there in mid-air until you notice. Actually, that's exactly the life we're living with these donations. We are actually doing that. We're standing in the mid-air, we have to look down and then we fall. Now, from time to time, and we've mentioned this throughout the years,

53:38 I'm gonna Google it right now. I tell people to go there's a fun thing you can do which is the Zen the Zen TV experiment The Zen TV experiment it's it's like 12. It's a couple steps and It tells you it really this if any this is a lot of the background of how we know what's really going on with the show And it helps you understand what a dishonest medium television is and these people are I mean, it's some bullcrap steady They don't know themselves because they are in the box but

54:20 But some of the experiments are like this. Watch any TV show for 15 minutes without turning on the sound. Then watch any news program for 15 minutes without turning on the sound. Then watch television for one half hour without turning it on. Just watch the black screen. And you go through these things and you start to learn what a zoom is, how deceptive a zoom is, or indeed how you are bridging in your mind the fact that they were in the living room one minute and then they're in the car the next minute. And of course, they're not really in the car, they're in a studio in a green screen. And I'll put this in the show notes, it's called the Zen TV Experiment. Do this, it will change your view on television forever.

55:07 And it shows you how you get coerced into a fake reality, how you get hypnotized. There's a really good section about quote news. You will really, really love this. And so don't listen to that bull crap report. Jump cuts make you fat. I love the fat part. you're fat but I'm putting that in the show notes right now you will not regret it we've noticed doing this show is that because we take clips that we just play as audio off of video and even yeah and almost every time while we were either editing or playing it sometimes on the show as witnessed last week we hear things that you don't hear when you're watching the show and you pointed this out with the acting yep and how bad it really is

55:57 Really bad, but you don't realize how bad until you just pull away the visuals. Yeah This is a fun thing and I've been pointing to this. Thank you. I've been pointing to this Experiment page for I think well for maybe five years and every once in a while it comes up and I forget because you know John you and I were I mean you were literally born when the medium television started and that's not meant as a slam, but that's just a fact and And I'm like an internet baby today. Yeah, exactly. And I should mention that not only was I born during the TV era, so I've always known TV, I've always had TV in the house. We weren't like late bloomers in terms of pulling TVs into the house. And I had a TV in my room

56:50 When we went through the first TV set that went into my room and we got a new set and that and I've so I've always had a TV at you know when we we should we can even go through the the evolution and the the revolutions of television which consisted of a couple things the remote control was of course the biggest one Growing up in Gitmo Nation Lowlands, we had two channels when I was a kid. It started at 7pm with news, the same guy, the same newscast on both channels at the same time. And it ended at like 10 past 11. And it was goodnight slaves and they put a test pattern on. And it was over.

57:32 That was it. Remember color TV? You had to warm it up. You had to warm the setup. You had to do it with black and white TVs too. Okay, well I don't remember that of course but the the color TV you had to press one button you had to wait like a minute and then you could press the other button. And otherwise, you know, you blow up the television or something. Oh, we didn't have any of that kind of corniness. I mean, that sounds like you have like a spark on the car you had to start. Crank it harder, boy! Crank it in the front. I think all Citroëns still have a crank. Did you know that? There's a crank hole for that. I think you'd kill yourself if you tried to do it. So I think the remote control concept is interesting because I think remote controls led to the 500 channels. Because if we had that many channels today and no remote control and you had to change them by hand, people would just lock on to one channel because it's too much effort. Well it wasn't even that. It wasn't even the switching. And of course I was like the slave in the house and my dad, you know, if he was there, yeah, hey, go change the channel.

58:33 But it works it turns a lot of remote control turn the volume up. Can you imagine not having a volume control? Yeah Anyway, but to do this experiment you will you'll not regret it speaking of TV of course in Gimmo Nation pasta there and the Italia our bunga bunga boy Silvio Berlusconi who owns all of the TV stations and the newspapers and is anything he doesn't own there and I don't know. I think he owned just about everything. So, you know, his bunga bunga parties are now totally a Mussolini have become famous. And so there's the question is, OK, so we know you did, as he says in recorded tapes because they wiretapped.

59:24 They wiretapped him talking about his bunga bunga parties and that he you know that there were like 11 women waiting outside his door, but he couldn't do quote do more than eight and But the question is whether he paid for them and whether he paid for a prostitute which was underage But the whole reporting is just bizarre Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi allegedly used state aircraft to fly in escort girls to his private parties. That's according to transcripts of wiretaps published by Italian media. In one call, Berlusconi bragged to businessman friend Gianpaolo Tarantini that 11 girls waited for sex outside his bedroom, but that he could only sleep with eight. Tarantini is in custody in Naples, accused of supplying call girls.

1:00:15 and trying to extort money from the Premier. The leader of the centrist UDC party said Berlusconi lost any will to govern some time ago. He should let Italy be ruled by someone who believes in her, he said. Even Berlusconi's long-time ally, Northern League leader Umberto Bossi, says it's unlikely that the Prime Minister will see out his full term until 2013. The billionaire media tycoon has always denied paying for sex and has previously described his parties as friendly gatherings. A friendly gathering. You know, no wonder the guy's too tired. Eight? Eight. How old is that guy? How many do you think he's by age? He's in his seventies. There's no way he's doing eight. If you can do eight, if you can bang eight escorts in a night, you should be the king of the world. I'm voting for him.

1:01:10 Bull crap of course he's laughing you see this is what people have to understand I Rock let me just tell you just tell you as a guy if if if it's in the news That you have a strong libido or libido. Right and 11 girls are lining up and you can do 8 of them and you're 70. That is an ego booster. That's great. The guy loves this. He doesn't give a crap about it. He's like ha ha. So in all the reports about this did anybody say about the 8 that this is bull crap? He's calling up, hey Putin! Ha ha with your gay shirt off. I banged 8 chicks. Ha ha.

1:01:57 Get on your horse! And that's just on Monday! Woo! A good one. So Europe, of course, is completely falling apart. And I have a clip from our buddy, John. He's back. Oh, great. Nigel Farage. We love him. He carries the show. He carries in times of economic distress. Nigel Farage will carry the show. And he, of course, is great today because he is completely agreeing with my thesis that what is going to happen in Europe is not that Greece will be kicked out or anything like that.

1:02:36 But that it will all be controlled by Brussels and the elites in Brussels led by Heiko Hermann and then of course will be the IMF led by Christine Lagarde who kicked out Dominique Strauss-Kahn in order to do this. Will say to all of the individual states All right, go tell your human resources the following either a you can suffer the Hunger winter like we had after the Second World War That's option one or option to give us all the power and we'll take care of you. That's option number two Your basic theory we put it in the Red Book last show, right?

1:03:15 Nigel Farage puts a name on this and he calls it European economic governance. Now what you've got is economic governance and everybody here in this front row supports more European economic governance. What is European economic governance? I'll tell you what it is. It's a plane landing at Athens Airport. out of which get an official from the Commission, an official from the European Central Bank and an official for the appalling IMF. And those three people, the triker you call them, go in, they meet the Greek government and they tell the Greek government what they may or may not do. You have killed democracy in Greece.

1:04:00 You have three part-time overseas dictators that now tell the Greek people what they can and can't do. It is totally unacceptable. Is it any wonder that Greek people are now burning EU flags and drawing swastikas across them? You are, frankly, unless Greece is allowed to get out of this economic and political prison, you may well spark a revolution in that country. I suppose there is some good news at least, and that is that in Germany people are waking up. Right up to the President people are saying all of this represents the death of democracy, none of this can work, and the German people simply will refuse in the end to pay the bill. Your one achievement is you have split Europe between North and South.

1:04:49 The Greeks now bad-mouthed the Germans. The Germans bad-mouthed the Greeks. I have one last plea, Mr Barroso. Will you please help Greece? Help her to get her currency back. Help her to reschedule her debts. Help her out of the mess that you have put her into. Your policies have failed. Stand up. Be a man. Admit it. Yeah, take that. So a couple of things about what Nigel Farage just said there. One, he telegraphed to us by saying you may well spark a revolution. Well I think that is definitely going to happen. But for all the people in the United States of Europe who listen to the program, which makes up at least a good 40% of the show, I have heard this. I've had contact with many Dutch people in the past who have been over in Los Angeles.

1:05:39 who've been over here visiting, and there is an absolute created hatred against the Greek. And this is how it goes. Why did you shut up? They got to retire when they were 52. Oh, come on, get on board with the program. I'm sick and tired of paying for those assholes who are lazy down there. And this is a very, very bad thing. This is an engineered crisis, engineered to make the peoples of the United States of Europe hate each other. War is good business. Particularly when it's in your own backyard elites love that don't fall for the trap anyway It's nice to put a name to it European economic governance, and I think Nigel Farage is is right on with his assessment. Yeah, I think it definitely is a propagandistic thing that We're dealing with so play one more clip. That's kind of

1:06:38 Kind of interesting. Another, this kind of came out of the blue. I wanted to run it on Thursday. I'm going to run it now. It's got the wrong man because I have a question about this because when I was listening to it, just the normal story itself was interesting, but it brings up a point that I don't think anyone's ever brought up. And a scare for new parents in the East Bay. A woman was nursing her baby when armed federal agents started pounding on the door. Yeah, it happened early this morning in a quiet neighborhood in Alameda. And as Ann Makavic explains, turns out the FBI agents got the wrong house, but that didn't have to look too far to get the right one. The pounding on the door starts and it is epic. I can't really make out the words that are being shouted.

1:07:24 Our first thought was the neighborhoods on fire. It wasn't a fire that frantic knock he heard just after seven this morning was from the FBI. I opened the slats on the window next to the door and I see what turns out to be eight uniformed, armored, armed officers, four of whom are pointing guns through the window. at my face. How are you feeling? As the officers were about to cuff him, Clemens warned them that they had the wrong guy and then he mentioned that his wife was Priya David, a correspondent for CBS News. But what does this have to do with the breastfeeding at the beginning of the clip? Well, I think they tried to personalize it so it's like, oh, you know, this woman's calmly feeding her kids and then the cops are busting into the place. Of course, they don't take it any further. But the question that came to mind when I was listening to this was, does anyone, you know, this happens all the time. Yeah. They stosseled

1:08:18 like, bitches and moans about this constantly, especially when these fake drug busts take place. They bust into somebody's, some wrong person's house. And the question is, has anyone documented this and then bring up in court, the way they do it, they're doing this with DNA now, bring up in court that if these guys can't get the simple fact of where somebody lives correct, how can we trust any of the information that's in the indictment? I mean the easiest thing it seems to me would be to get the guy's address correct. For law enforcement to know where the guy lives before they bust into the place. And if they can't get that correct, how do we know that any of their procedures are any good? I mean any of them. Yeah, you make a good point and that is, it's right along the lines with something a lot of people emailed me about based on our last show.

1:09:08 this entrapment that law enforcement is executing. Whereas I think your point was, you know, if someone is like doing some stuff that, so for instance, an example, you walk out of a bar The cops are watching you, you're drunk, you're driving over, you're walking over to your car, or maybe just walking to the parking lot. There's a couple things, you know, the way I also believe the community cop used to be is like, hey, hey buddy, hey Adam, hey man, how you doing? Having a good night? You had a fun party? Hey, you better not drive, you know, because, you know, that would be dangerous and I'd probably have to take you in.

1:09:47 You know, and that's how I think a respectful community officer of the law should respond. But instead, they sit there and wait until you're in the car, then they bust you. Or if you're doing something that could be perceived as maybe bad, you know, stop them. Yeah, they actually try to trick you to create a... They'll trick you to do a crime that you maybe may not have done if it wasn't for the fact you've been entrapped. And this goes on constantly. I mean, instead of policing, this is just essentially an operation that's just designed to arrest people with over... This isn't policing. Policing is like going around, like you said, and, you know, tapping and saying, hey, don't do that because I will arrest you.

1:10:32 Instead, they arrest you. Yeah, they wait, no, they actually sit there and wait. It's like a numbers game, they're just trying to rack up numbers, which is like, they always deny, but it's always like at the end of the month you see it happen when they're just pulling everybody over left and right. It's just it's really a bad scene. I mean when I was in Brazil for example, which is 30 million people in Sao Paulo, I don't think I saw one cop. I mean I saw some cops in cop cars and motorcycles once or twice usually with their red lights on running to some accident on one of the 30 lane freeways, but just roaming around town I didn't see anybody. I mean, there's nobody, people don't realize if you go into some other country, the amount of policing. When I'm in Albany, I can, or Berkeley, I can go from one end of the town to the other and I'll see five police on the trip to the store. And I'll see five more coming back or two. I very rarely get out of the house and go more than a few miles without seeing at least one police, if not two or three.

1:11:34 Let me ask you a question. When you were in Sao Paulo, what did you not see? What did I not see? Yeah, when you were out... Are you calling me a Nazi? I realize it came out that way, but no. When you were outside walking around, did you notice there was something missing? No, I didn't. What are you getting at? What are you driving at? This is the city that has banned all outdoor advertising. Oh, well that's somewhat bullcrap. Oh really? Yeah, because that's funny. I mentioned that to one of the dinners because I noticed a lot of the billboards were blank.

1:12:13 Yeah, I thought it was peculiar when you leave the airport. There's blank billboards that like there's some like they couldn't sell the billboard This happened I saw this because I watched the greatest movie ever sold which is that you know the super size me guy he did a movie about product placement and the whole thing is financed by the the products that he's trying to get into the movie so it's like a fractal documentary and And he shows Sao Paulo, Brazil and I was amazed. So yeah, the billboards, some of them are still there but they're all blank. There's no advertising on taxis, on buses. And this was banned maybe two years ago, I think. Let me see.

1:12:51 No, four years ago, looks like. Four or five years ago. So it's still not there, huh? There's no advertising and it didn't feel better? No, that's not true. That's the joke of it. Oh, okay. There's like Samsung has got billboards all over the place when you leave the airport and then there's a bunch of blank ones and then there'd be some, there'd be one car company that'll have a bunch of them. There seems to be some, something more to this story now that you mention it because I did think it was peculiar and I asked some guys about the missing billboards and they didn't, they failed to mention this to me. So there was some? Yeah, there were some and they were always for the same brand. Samsung would be the main one. Well Samsung was also the, I saw on all the shirts of the Libyan rebels. Samsung, those guys, they got a great advertising strategy. It's like let's go to the place where there's no advertising, there's two we can think of. One is Sao Paulo, Brazil. We'll buy that and then let's see, we have all the football teams, let's get some rebels.

1:13:49 What sponsor those guys? Go ahead and look at some of the pictures of the Libyan rebels. Yeah, you're right. Samsung has their logo all over the place. Samsung, yeah. Hmm, okay. That was a... what's his name again? Morgan Spurlock is his name. Oh, okay. So that's disappointing because Mickey and I were looking at that and like, wow, that must be really nice because when you drive through the City of Angels... No, here's what's bad about it. Here's the problem. There's all these billboards, that's bullcrap. They didn't take the billboards down. They're still there. Now they're incredible eyesores. Right. Because the billboard that was on there was all torn off, so it's just this big, ugly, empty billboard. It looks like crap. But not only that, it's not true because there's clearly still advertising. Yeah, there's still advertising on some of them. Well, that's disappointing. Oh, I got a funny one.

1:14:39 You'll like this by the way can I mention something else if you know about all that must be nice not? Sao Paulo has lots of pretty parts of this of this city, but most of it is is very Ugly and with lots of graffiti everywhere the billboards would would spruce it up. Let's put it that way It's not a pot. It's not like crack cow Poland. That's gorgeous because they got no billboards funny you say graffiti Is that correct pronunciation? Is it graffiti or graffiti? Yeah, you can say it either way I think. I don't know, I could be wrong. But transsexuals, did you see those? No, I've never seen one. Of course, then again I could be fooled. They might be that good. They are that good. I gotta go to Sao Paulo, Mick, to look at some billboards. So we have been tracking for a while the

1:15:31 Very interesting stumbles everybody is the only thing that hasn't happened the president hasn't done it himself yet But I'm sure it will happen this mix-up between Osama and Obama And this is a this is a big thing and of course you know the names and by the way You know if if your name is Barry, and you're gonna become president. You know I somewhere you would have thought some consultant would have said you know maybe You know, maybe just keep it, uh... What was his last name? Barry, uh... Sotero. Yeah, I'm very sotero. Let's keep it sotero because Obama sounds like a lot like Osama. It's not like this guy hasn't been known and you know it could become weird and besides the fact that his face if you overlay the president's face over Osama bin Laden there's a lot of similarities. Small ears, flat nose, the teeth. It's kind of scary when you look at it. But anyway, Dick Cheney

1:16:31 The zombie, because of course he's dead. He's kept in life by a laptop battery, which pumps his heart, literally. He's got pumps, he's got a vest he has to wear. I'm sick of seeing this guy. He's on everything. What has he ever accomplished before he became a government bureaucrat and a chief of staff for another president? And then he somehow worms his way into... He is one of these guys who's like the bureaucrat. Run amok. I mean it's like... What has he ever done? as a person before he became a... he's like the worst case scenario for a government worker. No, he's done a lot. He assisted the 9-11 attacks. He told the planes to stand down, not to shoot airliners out of the sky. He's done a lot of incredibly important things for someone, not for us, but for someone. He shot people in the face. He got himself rich on Halliburton contract deals. Who are you talking about? Very important guy.

1:17:30 And he's in the Dennis Miller radio show. And he makes... By the way, Dennis Miller just lost like 8,000 points in my book. God, did he suck up to Cheney. Yeah, he's like a kiss-ass. I mean, I'd kiss up to all my guests too, but I wouldn't have Cheney as a guest. I'm like, f off. You beast, you vampire, zombie. And Cheney makes the Obama-Osama mistake But in a very frightening way. where Obama was and then we're able to mount the operation with SEAL Team 6 to take him out. The work the problem thing's big with you, right? I mean, where Bin Laden was.

1:18:46 Yeah, it is that is weird. Let's do one more time just to make sure yeah The work the problem things big with you right So maybe they were looking at where Obama was oh he's on the on the ice on the golf course good all right We've got him on the golf course now. Let's do something funny from what make make it look like we're gonna Like do helicopter stuff I don't know, but that was a weird mistake or a weird way to correct it instead of Osama, which is what every normal person would say. I mean, I can't believe I said Obama. I mean Osama. He says, I mean Bin Laden. Yeah, yeah, that is interesting. Not sure.

1:19:28 Not sure how interesting it really is, but it's kind of interesting. It's I'm not sure what it means but so here's something that really bothered me and it's it's seemingly quite small and before we get to our thanking our Supporters for this week like to discuss it with you. So we had this huge huge Everyone was all over it. Dr. Oz Who I'd never heard of before until I guess in a lot of stations he's taken over Oprah slot. Well, he is an Oprah guy, right? He's an Oprah guy. He's had a show for a while. Yes. And I've watched it a couple of times and there's a lot of the stuff he does. I think we've had some of our producers write and saying this guy's full of crap. This isn't true. The guy is he's like a

1:20:19 Celebrity doctor. Yes, so let me let me take you through some of the research I've done So I've never really heard of this guy I think someone sent me a clip of and he had really big on his screen there in the studio audience What did what is your poop like or something like that was you know, I a good poop joke is always funny for me So I'm like, okay, the guy's talking about checking your poop. All right, that's cool. I So the controversy here is he has come out and by the way this is of course a season opener so this may have something to do with it. We're going to talk about this. He's come out and he says there's arsenic in the apple juice. Arsenic in the apple juice.

1:21:01 And this, and you know, he's done a study and all this stuff is happening. So there's a couple things that happen. So I'll just give you a quick thing. This is ABC, the Compromise News Network. This shows me that it's not coming from the government because when ABC go, I mean, ABC is of course, the president of ABC News, his sister is now a trusted advisor to our president. and ABC News, George Papadopoulos, it's completely compromised. So when ABC is against someone that I know it's pretty much not from the government. So here's Dr. Oz And he's on with the Richard, Dr. Richard Besser, who is ABC's resident doctor. And let's just give you a little idea of the pros and the cons, and then I'll get into some of the research I've done and where I think this might be coming from. I have to tell you, Mehmet, I'm very upset about this. I think that this was extremely irresponsible.

1:21:55 You're putting out this kind of a health warning, manufacturing a health crisis based on faulty, incomplete data. This fear-mongering, it reminds me of yelling fire in a movie theater. I'm very annoyed about this. And Dr. Oz, do you stand by your results? And how do you respond to what Rich just said? I'm not fear-mongering. We did our homework on this, and we spent a lot of time making sure we got our numbers right. Let me just go through this real quickly. We had some concerns about arsenic and apple juice, not because we thought about it, but other groups, independent of ours, over the last three years have been publishing reports about this. I have to call into question some of the assumptions that you're making. First off,

1:22:36 off. You claim that most of the arsenic in apple juice is of the organic type. That is not true. The only peer-reviewed study that I looked at that evaluated high levels of arsenic, which was published in the University of Arizona in 2009, showed that most of the arsenic was actually of the inorganic type. I have to interrupt you there. I'm sorry. How can you go on the air and publish arsenic results without breaking it down into total into inorganic and organic into the dangerous kind and then and the... So this goes on and on and on and on and I'm like whatever okay so I understand the basics of it he's saying there's arsenic in the apple juice and the FDA is saying hold on a second all the juice brands are making statements etc now the first clue that something was weird is at the end of this six minute segment six minutes

1:23:28 Listen to this. The CA should not allow more arsenic in our apple juice than we allow in our drinking water. If you're going to pay money to buy something, you ought to at least have a low arsenic level. Because you brought up water. Memet, you're right. We have started a conversation here and we appreciate your willingness to come on and talk to us live about it. I'm sure it's a conversation that we're considering. You guys went to school together? We were classmates, that's right. Oh, they were classmates. Because I had heard them the whole time, Rich, you know, instead of Dr. Richard or whatever, Mr. Besser, Rich, you know, Oz, back and forth, like, huh. So first I look at this Besser. Now Besser used to work for the CDC. In fact, he was the guy during the huge swine flu scare, he was the guy that would go on television all the time on behalf of the CDC and tell everyone how we're dying. Remember those reports he'd get up there?

1:24:20 And I even see in the New York Times where it says, Dr. Oz says, wow, this guy is doing so great. I'm so proud of him, my former classmate. He has lapped me when it comes to television medicine, to being a doctor on TV. So now I'm suspicious. Now I'm like, okay, there's a reason for this. So I start investigating this Dr. Oz guy. And he has an awesome, he's got the scam of all scams. I gotta tell you. Let's just do a flu shot. So here is a

1:25:03 quick setup that he did this is back in the day when he was clearly working with his classmate at the CDC. Today we're talking about the swine flu pandemic and the steps you must take to be prepared. Joining me is Janan, how are you? Hi, nice to meet you. Now you're a mom. Yes I am. Are you worried about swine flu? I'm very worried about it actually because they're saying that... It's totally scripted. It's so obvious. 50% of the population could be, you know, infected with this and I have three girls, 12, 10 and 5. You're gonna vaccinate them? Yeah. Of course. Now...

1:25:40 So I'm like, oh that's interesting. So I start looking around on his website. You've got to listen to the commercial. It's a commercial. And this is how the guy operates. He'll bring up some horrible thing and then he'll sell you a product. Third flu fighter I'm going to arm you with is the flu shot. Shot! Listen to the audience. Whoa! Never heard of that. Oh yeah. So Rene, thank you for being my assistant. Yes! Flu shot! I'm here to administer my flu shot at Stacia Woodcock, a Walgreens pharmacist. A Walgreens pharmacist? Ah, okay. So I'm like, oh, okay. So that's cool. He slipped it in, a Walgreens pharmacist. I thought that was going to be it. Thank you very much for visiting us today, Chef. No problem.

1:26:24 As you prep my arm, if you don't mind, explain the importance of getting a yearly flu shot. Well, the CDC has changed the recommendations this year. So now they recommend that absolutely everyone six months of age and older receive a flu shot. So that's everyone should receive a flu shot. Much easier by the way when we don't have all the little, you know, this, if that, then, then. Exactly. Very simple. And they've made it even simpler. simpler this year the flu shot this year contains both seasonal flu vaccine and h1n1 vaccine in one shot so it's literally a one-shot deal this year it's very simple. Alright, so I'm sorry okay he's propagating that meme okay. By the way yeah we still have to ask the question why the swine flu shot originally was two shots couldn't be combined with anything and all of a sudden it's all combined. Well stay with me. Ready, you guys all set?

1:27:14 And there it goes. And you know what? It doesn't hurt. That may be such a small needle. A mosquito bite hurts more than this. And when you get the flu shot, you're not just doing yourself a favor, you're doing a favor for everybody around you. And we have partnered with Walgreens and their new campaign. We've partnered with Walgreens. I'm sorry. I didn't realize it was a commercial. You need to get everybody in America armed. get one of these really cool band-aids. So Stacey, what's this program about? It's the Arm Yourself for Those You Love campaign and what Walgreens is doing is really trying to protect America against the flu and the way we're doing that we have more certified immunizers than anyone else in the country and that means wherever there's a Walgreens when the pharmacy is open you can come in and get your flu shot.

1:27:55 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, no appointment is necessary, you can bill most insurance companies directly at the pharmacy. She's good! She's the nurse that apparently has a PR background. She's perfect. And it's like their entire campaign she's laying out. It's wonderful, if the lights on then you can come in and get your flu shot at Walgreens. And the reason we're doing that is to protect you. It's not only protecting yourself when you get a flu shot, you're protecting the people that you care about. So when you come into Walgreens and you get your flu shot, we have a lovely sticker that says, I got my flu shot for, and Dr. Oz got his for, a healthy America. He's trying to protect everyone and show you the importance. Now here's the deal.

1:28:34 Now here's the deal. Wait, but wait, there's more. Have you seen this poster at Walgreens? He's on the poster, John. He's on the poster. Go to a station, put it like this. I'm hoping it reminds you of how important it is to get vaccinated. So thank you very much. Listen, here's the present for you. Everyone in our audience is going home with a Walgreens flu shot gift card. Woo! Woo! Woo! Yeah! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! In the morning. Woo! So the guy's got a great scam going. He sets it up and he gets paid by Walgreens. The whole website, droz.com, has pre-rolls on every video for Walgreens. So I'm like, okay, this guy's a shill. All right. It's really disingenuous, by the way. And I'm looking in. Oh, by the way, it turns out he owns 150,000 shares of Sigma Corporation.

1:29:29 which is, here we go, in their product pipeline, vaccines for smallpox, arena virus, dengue fever, bunya virus. So he's a shareholder and a director of Cigna Technologies. So be on the lookout for a show soon about dengue fever. So he's doing that. Right, smallpox too. Right. All those things on that list. So then I'm like, okay, there's gotta be something in, there's gotta be something. And I think there's two things. Either A, it's a commercial for this company. To my grandfather's tart cherry farm in Turkey, we made a delicious drink called Vishne Suyu. Now little did I know back then that it contained what would be the ultimate antioxidant. Blueberries, cranberries and oranges are all powerful antioxidant superstars. But could there be a new one that tops them all?

1:30:27 Groundbreaking research is discovering the health secrets of the tart cherry And it turns out the juice of this humble little fruit may be nature's ultimate antioxidant so This the only company that I could find that makes tart cherry Juice is the RW Knudsen family of Knudsen Knudsen yeah products are organic and They make the tart cherry and what I could find in this segment that you're about to hear 30 seconds of, there's a bottle of it sitting right there in the studio as he explains how great it is. Add tart cherry juice and for that reason your melatonin levels are overflowing. And because it's overflowing, you end up a lot sleepier.

1:31:17 Now I'm going to point something out. I have said this over and over again in our 2011 Move It or Lose It program. I don't want you eating within three hours of bedtime. So you don't have to have it late at night. You have to have it at dinner time. But this is something you should make part of your diet. Tart cherry juice. Bon Appetit. And he's got it right there. So Everybody have some nuts and tart cherry juice so Three things are possible one. He just went out to get some big numbers opening season Premiere and he did a pretty good job. They even got me watching to no kidding. Yeah, too this is a commercial for tart Terry a tart cherry juice and

1:31:57 The third thing, and this is only because I heard him arguing with his classmate who he's buddies with, I believe this was a smoke screen. I think there's benefit all around by the way. I mean I'm sure the tart cherry juice will come up and he'll be promoting that. If you Google Dr. Oz tart cherry juice you go to the Newsom website. So it's SEO that's for sure and the guy knows his SEO. There's a lawsuit currently between the companies that make high fructose corn syrup and the sugar organization. And the sugar organization, people who make sugar from cane sugar and from sugar beets,

1:32:39 suing saying we don't want the high fructose corn syrup people to be talking about high fructose corn syrup calling it corn sugar which we have been talking about for years and we even I think you have in the book John that soon it'll just be sugar and this will make the argument that if it's some what type of sugar it is is not important it's still sugar says sugar is just corn sugar your body can't tell the difference And it's funny because I was actually collecting clips and getting ready to do something about this on the last show and this is on the news. It's all over. There's a report after report after report and you've got experts saying, well, there's really no difference. It's just about branding and advertising, which of course is a lie unto itself because people forget the history of high fructose corn syrup. It was made to fatten up cattle.

1:33:29 And this controversy wiped that entire discussion off the news. It's gone. The lawsuit continues, but it's gone. So I think that there was a triple play at work here. One, to remove from the conversation what is high fructose corn syrup, because we were going to get pretty close. People are going to start figuring it out. No matter how many experts you put in saying, well, it's just your body can't tell the difference. And the guy gets some benefit by his opening season being big and probably he threw in a sponsorship there for the tart cherry juice. But to me, I think... Tart cherry juice? This is ludicrous! Weigh in on this, John. What do you think? I think you nailed this from top to bottom. I think there may be one or two other elements that are possible.

1:34:21 If you start digging into the apple juice thing, you run into the fact that Mott's was the target. And he's obviously not being sponsored by them. Not anymore. And there's some evidence that a lot of this arsenic bull crap stems from the fact that we're importing a lot of apple juice from China tanks from China China China the damn China's hate them China's so when you have the Chinese involved you always have the shake down possible which is you know the old-fashioned thing that the right you know the Rainbow Alliance and L sharp didn't people like that used to do which was like you know you guys haven't really been donating to the course hey what months you don't want to advertise on my show okay bitches watch this think that's part of it

1:35:07 I don't see why not. I mean that's what that's the kind of leverage that you do. By the way, I want to mention since we're leading into the donation segment, this is the kind of leverage corruption. I'm not saying that he's doing that, but I am, but that's the kind of thing that is commonly done. Leaning on advertisers who aren't paying enough and then slanting your coverage to blast them. And unlike Dr. Oz, we don't sit here and say, John, Did you get your flu shot yet? No Adam, I didn't but I don't think do I really need one? Well yes because 50% of the population will get this virus and you know now we have integrated the H1N1 into the regular seasonal flu shot and you can get it at Walgreens and you get a cool band-aid.

1:35:56 Oh really? I mean I only need to get one shot now instead of three? That's right. If the lights are on you can come on in. We'll take care of you. We have more trained professionals than any other outlet in the United States and you get a band-aid because you're not just doing it for yourself, you're doing it for the people around you. At Walgreens it's really and it's and by the way most insurance will cover it John. Oh so I don't have to pay the the full amount is it expensive? No, who cares? Your insurance will pay for it and we'll give you, you know what, today John on this show everyone who has donated will get a Walmart flu shot gift card! Wow Adam, thanks a lot! John Cena, Borat, Viva the day I'm gonna show my school by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah, that'd be fab

1:36:49 I'm sorry, no, no, I hit the wrong button. I was so excited about about the free the free gift cards I do before we get into that so obviously This is one of the reasons you don't hear us doing that because we we only take money from To pay bills from people who listen to the program appreciated and have made that a part of their media consumption budget and And support the show because of it and and it's not just for you You're helping others around you because when you're awake other people will hate you this is just for you. I hate you I do want to mention a quick karma story from sir Gerlach

1:37:34 Who says he had donated 5150, the crazy 5150 for three shows in a row. He said, it worked! Later in the day after Thursday's show, after I'd given my crazy 5150 donation for three shows in a row, the email came in from my boss telling me he had just submitted the purchase request for my contract extension. I'm good, well into the next year. Keep the karma rolling! So we're very happy for Sir Gerlach. And that's uh, yeah, I love it when that works out that way. Well it should work out that way. And we have free karma gift cards for everybody! Free karma! Free karma! Here, wait a minute, grab your free karma everybody, here it comes, enjoy it. You've got karma. You know what, screw it. Let's call up Walgreens right after the show, let's just go for it. Let's just do it. Matt Asbury from Wawa, Wawa, Tosa, Wisconsin.

1:38:31 Hi John and Adam, sending the donation is the exact amount of our old cable bill. So I can easily do the value. This is $178.56. And by the way, that is not an unusual number for some people's cable bill. When did cable go from like $20 a month to $178.56? I pay $240 a month. It includes internet and a phone that I never use that's only used by marketers to pester me. Because of course they sold my name immediately. And a whole bunch of channels that I don't watch. I can't afford it. I'm cutting that out. But you can't. See, this is a problem. It's bundled now. Yeah, they're bundled so you can gouge. It's a gouge. I made the mistake. And what does it cost them to do this? They got a wire. They don't do anything. I'm sending this donation in the exact amount of our old cable so I can easily do the value for value math for my beautiful, sexy, smart wife. Please show me some karma. That's one mother I'd like to f***. Show me some karma. Karma.

1:39:26 You've got karma. Trying to extricate himself from the legions of media support stooges. No agenda show, best show ever he says, Matt Astbury. Chris in Marysville, Washington, $133.

Well hold on, hold on. You've been de-douched.

1:41:59 Start listing in June, and I'm working backwards through the archive value for value. Thanks. It's crazy I still don't understand what our show must be so good I mean I hate to like pound myself on the back here, but people do this all the time They go back through the archives. I mean we're a topical show yeah I know I would think that you can maybe go back five or six shows and not even why bother I Yeah, I agree. Why bother? But you should listen to show 200.5. Which is out there somewhere. Yeah, it's available on noagenination.com along with mugs. Jeffrey Wolf Edmond Oklahoma double nickels on the dime keep up the great word guys. Oh John, can you try and pronounce my name correctly this time? Jeffrey Wolf. Yeah. Should I say wolf? Wolf.

1:43:27 San Francisco $50 to give a birthday shout out to shyster from his family. I think she's a dame. Tanya is, but Tonya Tanya. Tonya Tanya. And that's all we got this show unfortunately and hopefully we'll pick it up a little bit in the weeks ahead. All of the support is highly appreciated. Again at the end of the show I have a thought for some people, but I'm positive. I'm really positive in these days where everyone's just getting by living the American dream according to our president. It's very difficult. to spare anything really. It warms my heart when I see people who really have no business giving up any money at all, but I really like it when people evaluate their media consumption budget, like the cable bill, and say, hey, you know what? Whatever I paid in cable, you guys are worth the same amount. I would say give up your cable bill, get a Hulu subscription and Netflix and you're good to go, and then support us. What else do you need? I mean, really.

1:44:31 You don't need please don't watch CNN, NBC, MSNBC, Fox News. Don't watch any of that. We'll do that for you. The only thing you will miss from not having cable is C-SPAN. But again, haha, don't have to watch that. So there's many ways to support the show. The easiest one is to go to the following website. But you can find that address simply by going to noagendershow.com, noagendersnation.com, channeldevorak.com slash NA. There's a million places. Or just Google support Adam and John. That'll probably work too. And we appreciate it.

1:45:16 But yeah, we do we do we can and I know you're doing what you can and now that's the best of it I guess Yeah, I was right it's Dame Tanya Foster she congratulates the shyster with his birthday he turned only tell me he turned yesterday on the 17th and Kate Moringa we I guess PayPal or either PayPal made a mistake or we didn't get it right but Hey, John and Adam says Kate my husband and I came out to see in the hot pockets tour in Palentine, Illinois We gave Adam the adios mofo t-shirt which has by the way has been captured by my daughter She thinks it's hilarious to walk around Los Angeles with a picture of Rick Perry on there on her shirt with adios mofos

1:46:05 And they promised to stop being boners and start paving our pathway to knighthood. I'd like to have my husband and I de-douche for our freeloading loyal listening. Now what happened is, she donated last week, and it wasn't either, this didn't come through on the PayPal or something got confused. So she was listed as an associate executive producer instead of her husband Tony. And that was really the whole point, is that he would get the producership. So we'll change that in the show notes. In fact, we'll put Tony in the show notes for today. And of course, we congratulate Tony Baringo with his 34th birthday. That was yesterday. Happy birthday from your administrative slaves here at the No Agenda Show. We try hard. Sometimes it's... We try. We have staff. Hey!

1:46:57 Can we get Buzzkill Jr. on that bridge to the future thing? So that we can... Or can we put him on the payroll as a government employee? Yeah! Yeah, sure. Yeah, I mean he could make more money. We'll put him on the... We have to fire him though in two months, right? Well, so, and then we'll hire him... Put him back on the regular payroll. Can't we just switch back and forth? Yeah, hire him again. I wonder about that. This jobless bill is not going to pass anyway, so we might as well give up. But you can assume that the pieces of it will be put into another job, Bill, and I think the main ones are the ones you cited today are the ones they want to keep in. I want this whole bill to pass in its entirety so we can get it over with.

1:47:36 It's like a it's like an operation just do it now just just rip it out now so we could in four years or whatever five years we can just be done with the Depression we know it's unavoidable and I subscribe to John's cycles theory 2013 will be the great great great great great great depression It'll be crap and we might as well just get it over with. This will accelerate it, so let's do it. Let's do it already. We can sleep on the train. On the high-speed train. Sleep on the train. We can sleep on the train. Some sort of around-the-world ticket. I will give everyone one piece of advice.

1:48:11 All right, since you look at the numbers and look at this jobs bill. It's like yeah, it's great we're gonna we're gonna build roads and and drone airways and high-speed rail and you know all kinds of stuff but it's not about anything we make 60% of the gross national domestic product of the United States is banking so we don't build anything except machines that kill people and Which I'm all for. Sell as much machinery as you want to kill people. Sell it to the Chiners, sell it to anybody you want. But the only thing you can do, the only thing, if you don't already own a grow house, if you're not already growing marijuana, here's what I recommend. If you don't have a yard, start growing in your house lettuce, carrots, vegetables, you know, all as much stuff, because seeds are cheap, you can get seeds.

1:49:03 You can buy seeds from somewhere. Start growing it because you can sell that to your starving neighbors. This is a good idea. We have to go back to farming. Start it now. Backyard farming. And if you don't have a backyard, do it in the living room. Of course they've tried to make that illegal in some areas. I know that's why you just got to go do it. You can still kind of get away with it now and it will work. Seriously, because you don't need to charge five bucks for a head of lettuce. You can sell that to your neighbors for 50 cents, because it's not going to cost you that. And then your kids, put them all on the couch, they all got to sleep in bunk beds, whatever, and use their bedroom as a grow house. It's a surefire way. Daddy, can't I sleep in my own bed anymore? No! I'm growing my radishes there, kids! Shut up!

1:49:51 John's gonna harm the Sunday Times. The Sunday Saturday paper was a little more revealing because it has this in-poll support for Obama slips among base and of course is the latest news New York Times CBS News Poll what what I'm not sure why they have this combination constantly. It's a magic it's a magic number. To add more... Did you see that? No, on the article? I don't see a number. It's 33% Well yeah, there you go. They're trying to tell them to get lost. Advice on debt Europe suggests US can keep another's. We can keep our debt and eat crap and they're gonna go in on an austerity program which everybody who is not a Keynesian thinks is going to just sink the world economy faster than imaginable, which is probably true. And then there's the Palestinian bid in New York is interesting.

1:50:43 Yeah, we'll explain that. The Constitution Day came and went, nobody cares. Yeah, that was a proclamation, Constitution Day. I forgot about that. So then you go to the Sunday Times, that's Saturday. Arab hopes, U.S. worries, is two top penalties. Obama tax plan would ask more of millionaires and they talk about that Buffett rule. Then they have a huge front page story on autistic kids. and then they have the story about the racing that... I hear Dr. Oz is getting in on that, everyone in the audience gets an autistic kid. Yeah, that's probably what's going to happen. By the way, I want to go back to the Saturday paper just because of the front page picture. So I'm going to describe it. First they have in the background some idiot in one of those trucks with an anti-aircraft gun mounted on the back. Shooting in the sky. Shooting in the sky. And in the front there's a guy with a hookah.

1:51:36 Smoking? Smoking something. Really? Yeah! That's awesome. And next to him is a big giant blue gas can and he's got a hookah because the whole thing could blow up unless that's water it could be. And he's smoking dope or something out here and it's like the front page picture. When you look at it you go what's the point of this picture? It's not like a great work of art by any means. Why are they showing this guy smoking something? Yeah, I don't know. I'm all for it though. Smoking a hookah. So anyway, I want to play a clip Fox on the air races because the air races were covered on the front page as part of the nothing to see here thing. I want to know what the hell is the Fox guy? There's a weekend Fox guy named Greg doing the Fox News and what what is why is everyone jumping on these air races as does they only been going on what since the 20s? Yeah, let's listen.

1:52:26 that's involved is every single pilot that is racing out there has a tremendous amount of skill. What about a mechanical failure and apparently they're looking at it in this particular case. Look, this was an extraordinary pilot, 74 years old, he'd been doing this for decades, he was quite skilled by all accounts. But Apparently, part of his plane may have fallen off the tail section and that led to these nine deaths and more than 50 injuries. In fact, here's an account of an eyewitness. quote, I saw body parts and gore like you wouldn't believe. I'm talking an arm, a leg, the alive people were missing body parts. I'm not kidding you, it was gore, unbelievable gore. Another witness said if the pilot hadn't pulled up at the last moment, it would have hit and taken out the entire bleacher section, meaning hundreds could have died. And this was a skilled, experienced pilot. Doesn't this suggest that maybe this is a bad idea?

1:51:36 Smoking? Smoking something. Really? Yeah! That's awesome. And next to him is a big giant blue gas can and he's got a hookah because the whole thing could blow up unless that's water it could be. And he's smoking dope or something out here and it's like the front page picture. When you look at it you go what's the point of this picture? It's not like a great work of art by any means. Why are they showing this guy smoking something? Yeah, I don't know. I'm all for it though. Smoking a hookah. So anyway, I want to play a clip Fox on the air races because the air races were covered on the front page as part of the nothing to see here thing. I want to know what the hell is the Fox guy? There's a weekend Fox guy named Greg doing the Fox News and what what is why is everyone jumping on these air races as does they only been going on what since the 20s? Yeah, let's listen.

1:52:26 that's involved is every single pilot that is racing out there has a tremendous amount of skill. What about a mechanical failure and apparently they're looking at it in this particular case. Look, this was an extraordinary pilot, 74 years old, he'd been doing this for decades, he was quite skilled by all accounts.

Another witness said if the pilot hadn't pulled up at the last moment, it would have hit and taken out the entire bleacher section, meaning hundreds could have died. And this was a skilled, experienced pilot. Doesn't this suggest that maybe this is a bad idea?

1:53:28 You know, I thought about this and I did a little bit of research. So first of all, and by the way, Randy Corvin was tweeting about this and he gave his reason. Well, you know, if there was lots of video of body parts of Wall Street, I would have tweeted about that. But now we've got all this video and I looked at this. First of all, there's an ageist component to it, which bothers me tremendously. Which is not okay because when you have a pilot's license, you have to have a valid medical. And the medical is a serious medical.

1:54:06 And, you know, if you're not in sound shape, you can't get your license. You certainly can't get insurance for races and aerobatics. So this guy... That's for sure. Of course, you can't really see what happened. There was a weird theory going around which I... By the way, did you find it peculiar that nobody had a camcorder or there was any really good clips of this crash? I mean there's lots of video and I saw tons of it and I did see a lot of camcorder things but you know people are following the planes going by and this guy basically shoots up he tries to do an invert he tries to invert and instead of you know basically a very tight loop and instead of coming out of it he bore straight into the ground

1:54:57 there was a uh... a weird theory which i'll mention but i'd you know i don't even subscribe to it and that's saying something uh... ron paul or was uh... in reno the very same day to address people are very close by to the uh... reno air race at the convention center and there were rumors that he was uh... either was or was plus scheduled to attend The air race which would have put him squarely in the grandstands where this plane came down But I'm not buying that but that is that is something that cropped up out there You know add to it that the planes call sign was like X and 7 9 11 or something I'm a crackpot, but not that much of a crackpot. You don't know you know the guy could have passed out on the the tight loop all kinds of things could have happened, but It's what happens

1:55:51 This is this it's and by the way, it's what makes racing exciting all forms of racing It's what makes reality shows exciting. You want to see the train wreck? What can I tell you? but it was used to Spice up your life over the weekend because we had video of it horrible body parts gore, but it's not news You know, they were running, they were on this story to such an extreme on the weekends. It made it very difficult to watch any, you know, you go to CNN, there was just this story. There was Fox, there was a story. The networks was a story. HLN, there was a story. Wherever you went, it was ridiculous. They were over covering, what was there to cover to such an extreme? And why is the Fox guys all against it? I mean, this guy was, when he was discussing it with this woman, he was always grumbling into the mic. She said, well, it's not that dangerous. We've been doing this forever.

1:56:41 You know, he would be grumbling and saying it's a bad idea, we shouldn't be doing it, we should be banned. I mean, when did Fox become the station of wimps? Well, since I've been run by the Democrats. There's nothing new there for us. So it's just, it's completely annoying. And I feel bad, I feel bad for everybody, but you know, don't go to the air races. If you, you know, don't walk outside, put a helmet on, put a life vest on, put a, you know, don't slip in the bathtub. You know, it happens. I feel horrible and in aviation we say, you know, that guy had a bad day. To say the least. It's a real day wrecker. No doubt about it. So I want to close the New York Times. I got another little topic I want to get into because it's something that I think we've been overlooking. Wait, do I have to close the Times first? Yeah. Shut that paper up. There we go.

1:57:29 John's gonna harm the Sunday Times. You know, I'm a little annoyed by a note I got from Eric DeShill. Oh, I was annoyed by it too. And I'm not annoyed at him, I'm annoyed at myself and probably annoyed with you too. Oh. I want to mention, he talks about, this is from Eric, he talks about Executive Order 23954 which is a bogus hoax that's going around the internet. Are you annoyed that you googled it like I did? I did google it, of course. Yeah. But of course you have to. But Eric points something out that just really irked me.

1:58:06 targeting him but the fact that... targeting me, I worked by my own. We have not deconstructed the Rick Santorum meme that comes up on Google and has been on Google for, I don't know, five years or more. Let's explain this again. If you put into Google, and I will do it right now, Rick Santorum, who is a presidential, Republican presidential candidate, The top hit is Santorum. You click on that link and it says, Santorum noun, the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex. Click to continue.

1:58:46 And so here's what's been going on, and this has been going on for like I said, I first heard about the Santorum thing way before the 2008 elections when he was still... some gays apparently got irked by something he had said and it targeted him with a Google-washing campaign, which is what it was called. This term was invented by Andrew Orlowski at the Register. and it was a problem number of years ago during the era of George Bush when people type in George Bush and it come up with everything you need to know about donkeys as the top you know hit at the top you know on page one and and it was all done by using tricky SEO methodologies that Google has pretty much eliminated or tried to. So the question remains and I never thought about that until I got this note from Eric. Why hasn't this been corrected with the Santorum searches? This has been going on for

1:59:36 at least five years, perhaps longer. Cause I don't know when I, it's been going on forever. Google has done nothing about it. It's, it's actually juvenile. If you think about it and you have, you have John Stewart referring to it. Oh, isn't that so funny? And Rachel Maddow giggling. Oh, you should look him up. Look up to Rick up, sent to him on Google. you have all this has been going on Google has to know about it the whole thing is ludicrous and has been going on forever Google hasn't done anything so what is that telling you about what the hell's going on now Eric suggests that Google is gonna be the source of all news eventually because we demean the news and we're screwed well he when he went one step further which I really appreciate he said this the Rick Santorum Google

2:00:22 Set up it was a Google poisoning and it was a test Successful extremely successful. And so now that with this just to close out what you're saying here now with this fake Executive order well everyone should do this right now. What was the executive order again? two three nine five four two three nine five four you you google executive order 23954 and look here's the hits you get. You get the first one is a YouTube of course joinfreedomtorch.com and by the way the so-called executive orders that Obama signed an executive order to allow a Japanese military base to be built in Ohio and then there's political. I mean it's just pages and pages of this being replicated

2:01:12 And what Eric asserts, and I agree with him, and there's even here's a PDF link, is that this is a test to see how far reaching something like this really is. How many sites will pick this up automatically and a lot of this is bots just scraping stuff And a lot of is just idiots who need to fill up their stupid web pages to get stupid Google banner ads or whatever of course Google benefits on all sides Here's impeach Obama. It's spread over to Facebook It just it's just everywhere so that we are gamed the whole system is gamed and you can't trust

2:01:54 Gee what a revelation he can't trust Google John darn ah Who could have figured that one out and this of course will be will be taken when you see all this and Of course it's and it's written pretty well the executive order It look it looks pretty official, but you know I mean obviously it's it's bogus But it's copied all over the place, and I can easily see let's just let's just give it a shot show I'm just gonna pick one of these breaking news So okay here we go. This is from I just picked one Lima land news

2:02:33 In a very surprising move today, President Barack Obama signed Presidential Executive Order 23954 authorizing a Japanese military base to be built next to the Honda manufacturing factory in Marysville, Ohio. Obama authorized what he called a small contingent of Japanese soldiers, approximately 2,300, to be stationed at the base complete with armored personnel carriers, tanks and artillery. Keep reading. And then it goes to the political coffeehouse saga. And actually they've gotten... and this has a byline by J. Michael Warner. With a picture of Obama signing something at his desk. And here it is, the reason given by Obama for this action is that with all the terrorist activity occurring within the United States, it is felt that the Japanese government should shoulder some of the responsibility for protecting their interests here in the United States. It is also my understanding that the land being made available for this Japanese military installation has been appropriated by using eminent domain laws and is being exchanged with Japan for $730 billion in Federal Reserve bonds. That's where I went, right.

2:03:34 I called Mayor White to find out what was going on and was not able to get through to him. His secretary told me he was quote not available for comment. I was told off the record that several militia organizations have made threats of violence. So this guy, J. Michael Warner, couldn't bring it up to look at the Federal Register to see if this was real or even Whitehouse.gov and he reported on it and gave himself a byline. How embarrassing. It's completely embarrassing, the political coffeehouse. Who does this about the political coffeehouse? Let me see who runs this site. Hello, I'm J. Michael Warner. I'm a former soldier with 10 years in the army, a veteran of Desert Storm. I currently work as a handyman doing lawn work. It's a nice looking site, by the way. Carpentry and electrical work.

2:04:29 So, yeah, you're being duped. So, here you go. Well, if you go to the political coffeehouse saga and you look at his other posts, they're all bullshit. So this whole article that maybe embarrassed himself really didn't. It was obviously meant to be a put-on because look at this. Ron Paul's Constitution Day money bomb. President Perry is sworn in almost two years after campaigning. The former governor of Texas was sworn in as president. So the guy is a satirist whose news story apparently was picked up by a bunch of boneheads and ended up going all over the place. Well, this guy... And here's his Japanese military thing. It's right after Labor leaders applaud Obama for Japan's Ohio military base. He writes that story. And he's... yeah, so this whole thing is... but it's, you know, I don't know. He's trying to be a one-man onion and it's kind of like creating this situation.

2:05:25 From the Jersey Shore? Sorry, that was a reference you didn't get, did ya? I don't watch the Jersey Shore. Let me just do a who is on this website for a second. Let's just find out if it's registered to some place in Virginia. That would usually be the case, wouldn't it? Let's see... Who is... Yeah, I think this could be some experiment. PoliticalCoffeeHouse.com Uh... He's in Ohio. Mike Warner. Crattersville, Ohio. No.

2:06:05 So dead end there. Yeah, whatever. But yeah, so it's very easy to... There was another story I read somewhere about Google removing some PR piece that violated their terms and conditions of news. What? Yeah. I didn't grab the story. Let's see. Google removes news story. Let's see if maybe we can find it. Here it is, Google News removes website financed by Water District. This is from the Los Angeles Times. Officials, officials! Google News! They have officials there. On Tuesday removed a website from its search index that had contracted with a local water district to produce promotional pieces, quote, written in the image of real news. Isn't that what real news is?

2:06:59 Totally. Yeah, the move came in response to a Times story on an unusual agreement, so here's the Los Angeles Times colluding with Google, on an unusual agreement between the Central Basin Municipal Water District and a consultant affiliated with the news website News Hawks Review. Under the deal, the water district, a public agency based in southeast LA County, paid nearly $200,000 to a consultant to publish positive stories that appeared as articles on Google News. A Google spokesman, so this is lower than the official I guess, said in a statement to the Times that Newshawk Reviews had violated its guidelines! It would no longer appear in Google News searches. Wow, that's harsh. There's Google censoring.

2:07:44 The spokesman did not elaborate. Yeah, but they haven't done anything about Santorum. No. By the way, I don't like Santorum. No. But in this case, I think he's being screwed over. But I do like me a frothy mix. Yeah, I bet you do. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. I loves me a little frothy mix. Yeah, exactly. So there you go. You're absolutely right. So more proof that this program needs to be supported because We don't usually fall for that crap. We've been duped. Yeah, but we usually catch each other so it's never really gotten past the... it's never made it out of the show. Well, that's why we do it together. Sisters, sisters... Here's a cool one for you, Johnny boy. I've been following Haiti for quite a while, ever since the fake natural earthquake.

2:08:44 which was set off by the Clinton Cabal. And of course... Can you stop? I was just going to say something before you, because I'm looking at something. Sure. I don't see any evidence that Google has stopped using the PR Newswire, which is this out-and-out public relations operation on its Google News. Yeah, you can pay for that, right? It's 400 bucks and it shows up. Yeah. Shows up everywhere. Yeah. But they're not talking about the PR Newswire, it's the Hawk News Review or something like that. But you can just so you could use PR newswire they hired an SEO consultant the guy gamed it got it in got into Google News and then the LA Times said hey hey Google official official official we're news that guy's not news and Google said you're right that's not official news that's not real news we shall remove him immediately according to our spokeshole

2:09:40 I may do a column on this Santorum thing, it just irks me to no end. Good one. Just make sure you put the words frothy mix in the column. I will. Yeah, cool. There's nothing like a column about frothy mix in Market Watch, a serious publication of real news. It'd be in PC Magazine, not Market Watch. There's no stock involved. Well, all right. People have to realize, let me give a little hint here, CNBC, MarketWatch, TheStreet.com, Fox Business doesn't get this and that's why they're not doing as well and they just do political stuff.

2:10:21 These things thrive, these publications and TV stations thrive because they consist of one thing and one thing only. If you're a writer and you don't get this, you shouldn't be writing for them. Stock tips. Yeah, it's all about the stock tips. I've had people come up to me, oh can you write us up on Market Watch or company blah blah blah blah. Sure, give me $200,000. And I say, yeah, that'll be the day. And I say, are you a publicly held company? And they say no. And I say, well I can't write it because who the heck cares? Yeah. You have the most interesting product in the world, but if you're not a public company that people can trade the stock with they're not gonna read the column. This has to be stock tips. So we know that the Clintons are certainly Bill Clinton, but Hillary has a hand in it as well. They've always been big fans of Haiti and President Clinton, former President Clinton is of course the UN Special Envoy and I would like to remind you for those you've forgotten, remember that big concert we had?

2:11:20 Remember everyone was oh, that's so horrible for all the people in Haiti and we all sat there and watch all these douchebags on TV Yeah, good luck George Clooney. They sent sent all your money and everything and now that money made it billions of dollars from around the world we even had two former presidents come on television and say We just need cash. I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water Just send your cash. And of course we got a music guy in there after Wyclef Jean became a douche and failed and grew too big for his britches, they kicked him out. And they said, you know, shut up! You're not doing it right. And then they got his bandmates, who else was in that band? Martelli! Sweet Mickey Martelli! Yeah, he got a cool name, put a suit on that guy.

2:12:25 And he became the president of Haiti, admitted by the UN observers in a very dubious election. And now, lawmakers in Haiti's lower house on Friday unanimously approved the nomination of Gary Connil as the country's prime minister. Prime minister, of course, holds all the power, really. The president is not that important. The prime minister is very important. It just turns out that Gary Connil was an advisor to Bill Clinton. Gee, how does that work? Coincidence? I think not! So this is very nice. That's a shocker. Yeah, that's the shocker right there. Two in the pink, one in the stink for Haiti. Thank you very much. That's great. Good job, Billy. So, oh, they'll be rocking it out there on the beach. It's gonna be awesome.

2:13:20 I have a few other things that I just wanted to run through. Well, you're looking at that. Play Homer Simpson in Brazil if you want to know what he sounds like in Brazil. Okay. They even translated doh. That's good. I like that. Yeah, I have another end of show Homer Simpson clip. Okay, we'll play that at the end. Hey, a very interesting endorsement for Ron Paul. I am officially, I have an agenda when it comes to this, I'm endorsing Ron Paul. He just won the California straw poll by like 44 percent. You know, and not reported. No, no, no. We've got to show another video that we don't really see the impact of the crash from Reno. Oop, just missed it.

2:14:17 There you go. So he won that Ron Paul is kicking ass. He's on fire And I think it's great as your prediction starts to come true that neither the Republicans or the Democrats really want to win this They don't want anyone in there when it all goes to hell in a handbasket, but here's Barry Manilow Now weighing in for the good doctor. I was also reported that you had made a contribution in 2007 to Ron Paul. You did. I did. I like him. Do you still like him? I like what he says. I do. I like what he says. I think he's solid. I agree with just about everything he says. Love that. Barry Manilow. Good for him. I'm not a fan. Yeah. Oh man. Now that you mention it, I'm not a fan. No, Barry Manilow rocks, man. And that's the Jewish vote right there. Ron Paul needs that.

2:15:10 He needs that. The old Jewish ladies love Barry Manilow. Yeah, they do. They love him. Oh, Barry, you can do no wrong. I like him. I've always liked his stuff. You know, he wrote so many amazing jingles. He did the, have a coconut smile, and the, you deserve a break today at McDonald's. All of that's Barry Manilow. The guy's a genius. He's got the ear. He does. I found something rather interesting. I believe, now we're kind of looking at what's going to happen for the Democratic side of the 2012 race.

2:15:51 And I don't think Joe O'Biden is going to be on the ticket if Obama runs, which neither of us actually think is going to happen. We think he's going to drop out because of health concerns or be with the kids more or Michelle doesn't like it or whatever. And I can point to the Obama for America website, Obama 2012. They sent out an email for all the new campaign merchandise. Oh yeah, I got one of those. You got the email? Did you go to the website? No, I found a campaign merchandise site. Oh, okay. I got some, I just linked to it somehow. So this is barackobama.com, 2012. They've got the car magnet, they've got the fired up ready to grill. By the way, I would advise people to grab those car magnets because they come right off apparently. Yeah, it's better than the bumper sticker. And it's a collectible. Yeah, and no mention of Joe Biden.

2:16:49 Not on the magnet. Not in the pitch letter. If you remember it was Obama or Biden 2008. It actually was Obama or Biden. No campaign buttons with Biden on it. There's the dog collar. The dog collar is Barack's best friend dog collar. Again, no 2012. That's very funny. I love the dog collar. So nothing about Biden. So that's the new merch and I'm thinking I'm thinking that he's not going to be on the ticket. Well it would be a benefit to get him off the ticket if they actually wanted to win. As a sidebar, if you look at this website, link in the show notes, 340.nashownotes.com, the shirts and hats say, Made in the USA, which is great. That's not next to the magnet and everything, so why don't you get those and see if it says Made in China on it. That'd be kind of funny, wouldn't it?

2:17:49 I don't know we can make that, that's magnet type that is used, you see it, pizza shops have it, it's just essentially a very thin rubbery magnet. Well, we'll see. It sticks to stuff. It's probably made in China. That's what I'm saying, it would be funny if it was... I don't think anybody makes those that in this country, like Boston. Made in China. Anyway, I want to make a prediction for the Get Your Red Book. Alright. Yeah, the Red Book. You asked me on this previous program, if Obama's not going to run, then who will? and I figured it out. Okay. Gabrielle Giffords. Oh yeah, you put that, I saw it, this is nice try. Write it down, hear me now, believe me later. And so she will either be running with Obama as vice president, depending on which way he'll turn. She was shot in the head. So? Oh, Biden had his head, the top of his head taken off two times. That's a good point.

2:18:54 And I will take it even a step further. I'm not so sure she was shot in the head. Ooh! Now you're talking. I went back and I, and by the way if you Google this, and I just Googled this just out of my own accord and found that I'm not the only one thinking this. There is so much wrong with the pictures and video footage of that attack. There is so much wrong with it. Right down to The 9-1-1 calls this entire thing looks like it was a drill That there are actors in play. It's very interesting to see all the mistakes made with how the apparent attacked body of Congresswoman Giffords was handled

2:19:48 No blood spurting out of her head and all kinds of really really there's a lot you can find your own websites You know make your own decisions. I Doubt that that was I don't know if she was shot in the head. I really I'm really doubting that well I'm really enjoying the fact you're finally moving this stuff to the end of the show and I suppose she and her husband members of the Council on foreign relations I'd like to point that out And I think it's a perfect setup. By the way, of course I immediately thought, oh I should register giffords2012.com. That has been taken. Interestingly enough, registered on January 8th, 2011, the exact day of the attack. So either someone is sicker than I am apparently.

2:20:35 But someone who plans ahead yes exactly We'll see when she comes to she's gonna do some public speaking because she sits on the floor of Congress now So she's gonna have to come up and say something. Well. She already has a book out about her being shot She has it. This is great. She has this is this is this was the clincher for me. Okay check this out Find her book if herds book And it's called, uh... Pa-pa-pa-pa... Title of the book... Come on, what the hell is this book name? Come on, help me out here. I'm trying to get my mouse to work. That's my ringtone. That apparently no one will ever want to use. There's no evidence. A Story of Courage, I think is what it's called. Written by... The same guy who co-wrote the book with Scully. Sully. Sully, that guy.

2:21:46 You know the guy that comes in and helps everyone who was offered a book deal as part of whatever they had to do? Yeah, he's a ghostwriter who's a pro. Yeah. He obviously has the propagandistic style down. He's got the inside track. So, that's my story on... Mark Kelly is the guy's name. No, isn't that her husband? Gabriel... Mark... Oh, I was just looking... I'm trying to... That's her husband. I got some pop-up ad I can't get rid of. I hate that. the man who gets no spam. And then I got it pop up bad and then it also says connect with Facebook. Oh no! What's that got to do with anything? Oh no! Gabrielle Giffords and Mark Kelly book, Gabby. No, Mark Kelly's the writer. No, Mark Kelly's her husband. No, the joint memoir of Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, soon-to-be retired astronaut Mark Kelly, I forget that's his name, sorry. The book titled Gabby, a storage of courage and hope was written

2:22:45 with the last lecture co-author Jeffrey Zaslav. There's the hope mean. Courage and hope. Hope. We got some hope. We need the hope for the election. Mark my words, either VP, if Obama decides to stay on, which I think is still not evident, it'll be... I'm sticking with that too. Yeah. And otherwise it'll be Giffords for 2012. She's perfect. American hero, shot in the head, came back to help save the world by voting yes for the What did she vote yes for? Remember that? Something. Yeah. Something important. I'm still digging. Something important. Perfect! Yeah, she came in at the last minute to cast her vote. Perfect. After being shot in the head. Yep. But take your time and I'm not putting it in the show notes. I want you to just find it on your own and look at all of the weird things that are going on with that attack.

2:23:51 and uh... i don't see that he wrote the book about uh... sully what's the guy's name zazlow z a s l o w he's done the last lecture the girl from the girls from aims highest duty maybe that was the book here's sully's remarkable journey best-selling michigan author best selling best selling from schuller books best selling michigan author jeffrey zazlow The help pen cap- It's highest duty. No, it was highest duty. I was right. Sully's new co-pilot. Zaslow. Ah, come on man. Is he gonna help write Haiku Herman's next book as well? Please. The Magic Room by Z- currently Jeffrey Zaslow is writing The Magic Room, a story about the love we wish for our daughters. New for publication next year. The New York Times best-selling journalist.

2:24:49 takes us to a small town, remarkable small town bridal shop where generations of mothers and daughters have shared precious dreams of love and life. Oh brother. So um, holy suck. So one of uh, Gabrielle Giffords people who was also shot, this is all I'll tell you, go look for that yourself. So a couple of people were shot that day and one of them was a woman, her name escapes me for a moment, And they have the 911 tapes of this woman's daughter calling in saying, you know, there's been a shooting and she's really calm. Her mom's been shot three times apparently. Doesn't mention that. He has been a shooting. I'm here. Yeah, I'll wait for the police to come. Doesn't, isn't freaking out. It's very bizarre. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Because most people get kind of panicky when they're calling 911 when their mom is shot in front of them. Yeah.

2:25:51 I can look for it if you're interested I can find it. Now you got me interested. I knew I'd get you. I knew I'd get you. That's okay, the prediction I'm still putting down is a no way. Wait a minute, you're not allowed to editorialize the Red Book. I put it on here, no way. I did it once before with that when you predicted one thing and I predicted the other and I won and then you won. Remember that one? That's the one that galls me the most. It happens. Looks like you won, Dvorak, two weeks later. Boing, boing, boing. I'll collect a couple of links. Anyway, so I'll be on the lookout for that.

2:26:30 A couple of things that are interesting. This one, you know the White House insider that I've been tracking, Ulster, whatever the guy's name is, Ulsterman. He interviews from time to time this White House insider and there's been some interesting revelations there. So now he has the Wall Street insider. And this blew me away when I read this. Apparently, according to the Wall Street insider, the Obama administration wants to unionize the American military. Oh, this sounds like a hoax. I... why would that be a hoax? Because it just sounds like that executive order bullshit. It sounds like there's some weird screwy logic to it, but it sounds like just some way to... you can't unionize the military. It's idiotic. Well, I'm not saying it's a smart thing to do, but apparently, according to the Wall Street Insider... Ted Hutchulger! You have to talk to my steward, sir! Talk to my case officer, sir!

2:27:33 Steward? Is that what it's called? Steward. A steward? Shop steward. Shop steward? Could you imagine that? Hey! I only got three Cheerios! I'm on strike! I'm filing a grievance. Would you- but that would be pretty cool if all of a sudden you had like two million extra union people paying dues. This has happened before. Apparently the American Servicemen's Union, founded by Andy Stapp in the 1960s, was a serious attempt to unionize the American military. There's not a large amount of info online about this, but I remember it well since I was an anti-war protester on the campus of the University of Oklahoma at the time and Stapp was a bit of a local hero among leftist groups.

2:28:19 Well, it didn't happen. When was that? When was that written? 1960. This is done as a thrust to an opposition to the war in Vietnam. So it's not a new idea. No, I mean, but we know how Obama loves the unions. Yeah, well, he does. Anyway, to wrap this up, I have Greta Van Zusteren, who I kind of like because somehow I think she is kind of outside of the elitist agenda. I don't know what your feeling on her is? I, I, I, I, yeah I find her, I haven't found anything seriously amiss from her but she's definitely a fox girl even though she claims to be best friends with Rosie O'Donnell and she's admitted according to Rosie that she hates working there. Yeah, I may. But it sounds like she's, when I watch her it looks like she's enjoying it so I don't know what Rosie's thinking. Well she, she did her homework when she went to interview McCain

2:29:23 And some interesting revelations, I think it's just funny how McCain answers about contractors in Iraq, predominantly, and Afghanistan. She's come up with the numbers which are not refuted by McCain, except he says it's really important. Senator, recently I spoke to one of my colleagues who works out the Pentagon, Jennifer Griffin. I had her try to find out how many contractors, civilian contractors we have in Iraq and Afghanistan. And the estimate she said, the best you could get is rather fluid, but it's either up or down from about 250,000 people. Now did you know this number? 250,000 contractors? I think I did know that number.

2:30:01 That's pretty big. So while we're drawing down troops, we're ushering in contracts. Yeah, we've still got troops on the ground only. They happen to be wink-wink, nudge-nudge. Working for some contracting operation where they don't get a pension. How can we afford that, number one? And what are they doing? I think a lot of them are people who are working on projects. Projects! It's just projects. They're just working on some projects. They're working on some projects. Yeah, they're projects. That are part of the rebuilding effort. Oh, it's part of the re- projects are part of the rebuilding effort. Okay. And so then,

2:30:39 I just clipped this next piece just because I thought it was funny to hear McCain stumble over his answer about what these people are actually doing. Listen, and I hate to use the word, but I feel a little bit had when I find out we're drawing down our troops and I think, well, we're leaving Iraq, but we're really leaving 250,000 people that we're actually paying for that are ex-military and it's because we don't have the men and women to do it, so we've hired these outside people. So we are leaving a force there of some kind. But I would like to remind you again the significant number of these are the actual contractors. They're out there helping the Iraqis build things, to restore bridges, infrastructure, those kinds of things. Well we're paying for it, right? Yes, we are paying for a lot of it, indeed. They're helping! They're just here to help the Iraqis, you know. We're paying to help build bridges and stuff and it's cool. I want to remind you this is very important, Greta. Very important. They're on projects.

2:31:33 It's okay to pay for that. Yeah right. A-hole. He's the worst that guy. I'm glad he didn't get elected but what you know we're stuck they haven't run anybody that's worth a crap and they wouldn't run Ron Paul in a million years so he can give up on that idea and so it's gonna we're just stuck with these these guys they they like hate America. I don't know. Yeah. Because I mean we're basically spending our money building bridges in Iraq when we need, according to Obama, we need half the bridges in this country are decrepit and falling apart. How come that same exact money isn't being used in this country? Well we're gonna use new money. How much money do we have to just blow on everything? It's unbelievable. Yeah, well we're gonna use that money to get free slaves for everybody. You hear that Buzzkill Jr.? You're hired as a free slave.

2:32:29 Well, let's hope we can get our free slaves. We can teach them quite a bit. Yeah, they could learn. All we have to do is put the right application paperwork together. And before everybody hangs up, which apparently they do as soon as this theme comes on, make sure to go to Dvorak.org slash NA. And we do have a clip after the show ends, so you might want to stick around for a minute. Also, here, yeah, I had something to say. I'm looking at right now, still left on the livestream, we have 561 people listening. If every single one of you who's listened now for two and a half hours, if you thought this was worth ten bucks, we would never have to ask for money again. Think about that. That's it. That would do it. We had people sneaking around for two and a half hours listening to this show, John. Yeah. Two and a half hours. So that would be an equivalent of a quarter of minimum wage.

2:33:26 And it would be also the equivalent of a long movie, which they'd pay 20 bucks to see. Yeah, except you could make your own popcorn and it was cheaper. Alright, so we got the Homer Simpson clip coming up, and we will be back here on Thursday as we always are, Thursdays and Sundays, coming to you from Gitmo Nation West, the People's Republic of Southern California, in the morning. Remember, free flu shot cards. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where it's sunny and everybody's happy. I'm John C. Dvorak. We'll talk again on Thursday, right here, on No Agenda. Oh yeah! Buck Mitchell came back better than ever, with five home runs in two nights. He ended up with rumors of a premature retirement and the use of steroids. But I heard that this comeback is due to the marital advice of Marge Holmes Simpson, seen in this photo. Homer, you prolonged this celebrity wedding for at least another season.

2:34:18 Adios, mofo.
