About this episode

The mysterious death of MI6 officer Gareth Williams takes center stage as an inquest reveals the near-impossibility of the intelligence agent locking himself inside a padlocked sports bag. The investigation into the London bathtub discovery coincides with rising geopolitical tensions as China pledges an $8 billion loan to South Sudan, directly challenging Western influence over regional oil pipelines.

Economic instability ripples across the Eurozone as Spain's unemployment hits 24.4% and the Netherlands implements a controversial weed pass to restrict drug tourism. In the United States, the House passed the CISPA amendments, which critics argue will legalize government surveillance of private emails under the guise of preventing psychological threats. Meanwhile, the FCC's new ruling on political ad transparency is criticized for allowing stations to submit unsearchable scanned PDFs, potentially obscuring Super PAC spending data from public scrutiny.

President Barack Obama faced awkward moments at the White House Correspondents' Dinner after Jimmy Kimmel joked about the federal marijuana crackdown and the Funyun supply. The episode also features a musical breakthrough with the Syntheslider, a new MIDI-enabled slide whistle, and a correction from producer Moise Khan on the proper phonetic emphasis of Abbottabad.

Famous New York disc jockey Pete Fornatale passed away at the age of 66. Fornatale was a pioneer of FM radio at WNEW, known for playing entire album sides during the early days of the format.

pete fornatale· wnew· fm radio· new york times· obituary

01:44 And you've been following his career? Is that why you're so saddened? Well, I've been aware of a guy, people living with bullets in their head. Such as? Name three. Hillary Rosen.

Somebody must have something to say. I expect the paper of record to do that. It was just another small annoyance with the news media. It's the only thing people really want to know, right? When someone dies, you always want to know, how did he die? Was he hit by a truck? Nothing no mention of an illness or anything. Maybe he had a bullet in his head. I don't know He's not the record live a lot longer Okay in the morning to you John

MIDI Slide Whistle, Syntheslider Invention and Patent

A new musical invention dubbed the "Syntheslider" converts audio from a slide whistle into MIDI data in real-time. This technology allows a traditional slide whistle to trigger various digital instruments, including French horns and saxophone sections. Plans are underway to patent the device as a "better mousetrap" for the music industry.

03:24 In the morning to you Adam Curry, in the morning to all ships at sea, in the morning to all boots on the ground, and in the morning to all feet in the air. And of course all of the producers under the seas in their ships are submariners and we have a plenty listening to the program. Everyone in the chat room, the human resources all charged up ready to go there at noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net. It is time once again for the best podcast in the universe. I wonder if our Submariner actually shares the show with any of his bunkmates. You know, I have a vision. I haven't been on a submarine in a long time, but I have a vision like, you know, he's in his wife beater with, you know, with grease stains and he's there with a wrench.

04:01 Ding ding ding in the back. Chilling smoking a rolled up cigarette there in the back. Putting his ear against the side there. Against the hull. Against the hull. Yeah. Ping! Ping! Tubes are ready sir! Yeah. Listening to us. Well who knows. I'm so excited John. I am so so so incredibly excited. And I have invented something. Oh, and I'm going to share the patent are you going to patent it? I'm going to not only am I going to patent it I am naming you a co-creator on the patent. Oh good. I could use the money well, then we have to go and sell it of course, but Sometimes these things sell themselves. I think I think I've got a win on a mousetrap though, right It's a better mousetrap. It is literally a better mousetrap. Oh

04:56 You inspired- I should explain your grogginess this morning, Rob. No, no. The grogginess is from something else. I'll talk about that later. I always say buy high quality spirits, but go on. Okay. So, you know, your slide whistle has not only has enlightened the hearts of millions with your expertise and your- it is so good. I decided that it is, you know, because I've been practicing and- A slide whistle app? You know no no not quite I have the first as far as I know because I've googled it everywhere I can't find it. I think we have prior art here without a doubt light whistle tuning a fork close No, I have a MIDI slide whistle ooh, and there is no MIDI slide whistle no and let me demonstrate I have hooked it up to the French horn one moment

06:15 How about that, huh? It was the French horn. I never heard the slide whistle. No, because this- I'm blowing the slide whistle, but I have to close my microphone so you don't hear the slide whistle. Oh, you're blowing the slide whistle and a French horn is coming out? Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes! Wait a minute, here, I'll leave the mic open so you can hear both. Hold on. How cool is that? That's that I'll give you a 10 on now. Hold on. Hold on. Extremely cool. I need yeah, hold on a second. Let me change it to an orchestra. Hold on. I mean, yeah, actually I also I think you that that Yeah Saxophone section MIDI thing is pretty would be pretty good with this thing. Okay, check this out. Come on, man slide whistle to MIDI

07:31 So how do you have it rigged up? I mean, what is the mechanics there? Uh, I'll tell you. Hold on, let me just get the saxophone and then I'll quit. You wanted a saxophone? Yeah, I want the brass section one. You know, brass, I don't know what the number is, but it's one of them. Sounds like jazz sax to me. Dude, I'm telling you, we're gonna be billionaires. Well, the slide whistle guy should definitely give us something. We are going to be billionaires, John. No one has thought of this. And the only thing that doesn't sound because I've got to do the polymorphic thing so that we can do electric guitar. I can just imagine you and me on stage and we're like, oh, with a slide whistle. So then there's this jamming, like amazing, like slash guitar sound coming out.

08:30 Funny. There you go. So that's why I'm so excited and we're going to be rich, I tell you. Yeah, well, rich. Leave your wife rich, my friend. Rich beyond your wildest dreams. And we'll call it the syntheslider. Thank you. Chat room gave me a little help there. The synthesizer. Who is that small donor? Good one. Write it down. The synthesizer. Yeah. So all we have to do. So right now I'm doing audio to MIDI, which is very complicated. It's not an easy thing to do. Well, you might have a bunch of patents on the way. It's a second.

09:07 stepping stone patents to get to the patent of the patent. That's okay, we'll share it with whoever else helped us out there along the way. But come on man, you've never seen, I mean, can you just imagine? No, I, hey, I'm all, as far as I'm concerned, you've done the, not only me a service, but you've done the world a service. Because if you think about it, there is something compelling, anyone can play the slide. Exactly. That's my point. That's my point. And anyone else. It's just like whistling. Yeah. Yes, exactly. I'm so happy. This is gonna kick ass. I mean, order the G5. I'm telling you. We're gonna be- Andre Rio, watch out bitch. We're coming for your lunch.

Houston Metro Bus Safe, TSA Random Search Protest

Citizens in Houston, Texas, successfully protested the "Bus Safe" initiative, a national pilot program that brought TSA agents and undercover officers onto city buses. Following public outcry over random bag searches and constitutional violations, the Metro chairman pledged that such searches would not continue under his leadership. The program was originally championed by Representative Sheila Jackson Lee.

houston metro· tsa· bus safe· sheila jackson lee· fourth amendment

09:52 Yeah, I also did some other stuff On the show maybe yeah, I worked quite a bit on the show She's like give you a little bit of happy news first and and explain to you Why I'm so happy to live in the drone star state what an awesome state This is and how we are not slaves. Would you like to hear about that you up there in California? Go on so you'll recall three two weeks ago I We had a report that Sheila Jackson Lee, le douche baguette extraordinaire du THAS, had implemented something called Bus Safe.

10:30 And bus safe was supposed to be air marshals for the bus. So in fact, let me just play that previous report because I went back and listened to it just to hear how egregious it really was. But a new program is placing undercover officers on that bus kind of like air marshals on a plane. Local 2 investigator Joel Eisenbaum has much more now from on board a Metro bus. Tens of thousands of people in Houston rely on these buses every day to get them where they're going safely. This new program is designed to maximize that safety, but does it come at a cost? We have covered a series of crimes over the years that have happened on Metro buses and at Metro bus stops. Sexual assaults are especially scary. Well, a new initiative called Bus Safe aims to make the Metro bus riding experience safer.

11:16 Today we announce that if you think you're gonna be a bad actor on buses get ready You're gonna have a short-lived time frame This is a national pilot program which puts undercover officers on Metro buses sniffing out trouble before it happens Yeah, all right So that was a portion of the report and of course you and I both said why do people put up with this Sheila? Jackson Lee and is this Texas that I'm living in what's going on well I am very happy to report that the slaves of Texas are not having any of this as witnessed and documented here. Two weeks after Metro made a big deal about bringing TSA to Houston bus stops for a counter-terrorism exercise. We are here to loudly condemn Metro's recent violations of the United States Constitution. Dozens of angry citizens came to tell Metro keep TSA away.

12:13 our greatest rise and rise to be left alone. You've gone one step too far by bringing the TSA into our house. In my opinion, the Metro board doesn't get it. On April 13th, the Metro Police Department invited TSA to be part of its bus safe exercise. First time it had ever done one. Metro said then and repeated for days afterwards, there were random searches of bus and train passengers bags. Get inside my bag, my personal items. I'm not going to let you get in my bag unless you have a warrant. Did you hear that? That is a Texas citizen right there. I'm not gonna let you in my bag unless you got a war mofo! After an uproar over the searches, Metro says they never did any random bag searches, never intended to. That the official Metro blog saying so was just a mistake. Oh, it was just a mistake, yeah!

13:00 What about all these bad actors? But for metric rider Derrick Brose it's not enough. I don't feel like by purchasing a ticket or riding the bus that I have to forfeit my constitutional rights and my protections and be subject to search or seizure. A friend of Brose's took these pictures of the bus safe exercise back on the 13th. He says they show TSA agents and Metro Police asking riders where they're going as they get off the bus and how often they ride that route. Metro and TSA were going onto the buses and questioning people about their normal routes and normal behaviors and it just kind of creates an atmosphere of fear. There aren't any photos of searches after today's showdown the Metro chairman says it will stay that way so long as he is chairman. It's not going to happen while I'm chair. Yeah, it's not going to happen. Putting in place random searches and seizures. We're going to get to the bottom of this and we'll have a lot more dialogue.

13:51 The Metro Police Chief told us in an interview last week he hoped to repeat the bus safe exercise within the next few weeks, but made no such promise today. Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! A small, insignificant perhaps, but still a win for the slaves of Texas. Yeah, that was a good one. Yeah. Yeah. When is it going to result in them voting out that idiot Sheila Jackson? She's next on the list. She's next on the list. Oh my goodness. We definitely have to get rid of her. I don't know. I didn't even know how she got in. But I'm very, very proud to be a Texan. Yee-haw!

No Agenda Roundtable, Knighting of S. Russell Williamson

S. Russell Williamson of Boise, Idaho, contributed $748.14 to the program, clearing out his PayPal account to support the value-for-value model. This significant donation led to his official knighting as a Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable. The hosts calculate that the show has surpassed 1,000 hours of content since its inception.

no agenda· donation· paypal· knighting· s. russell williamson

14:31 You have your Texas driver's license? I sure do. That's all you need to be. They literally say in the brochure. Is your cell phone a Texas area code? The only rules for being a Texan is, and it literally says in the pamphlet, how to become a Texan. You just have to get your driver's. It says that, how to become a Texan. And then when you get your driver's license, they say, congratulations, welcome to the great state of Texas. And that's how it works here. Please do not pay any taxes. That's how it works here. Enjoy California. Well, anyway, maybe we should thank a few producers before I get totally depressed. While you process that? Yeah, sure. Did anyone come in and support us? Because we, I guess, we determined that not this show, not the previous show, but the show before it must have sucked because donations were off the cliff. How did we do? Yeah, well, it must have been good then because we at least got back to our normal donation schedule. Good.

15:38 starting with a big one actually. S. Russell Williamson Boise gave $748.14. Why? Because it clears out my PayPal account he says. Yay! Which I want to remind people that they should think about that. Also because when I look at the hour of value, I'm pretty hour for hour value proposition I realize you're getting close or already past the 1000 hour mark we have to do that calculation by the way. Yeah we should yeah. It shouldn't be that difficult to do if we looked at all the mp3 files and then did a back calculation on what the rate was. Yeah because we've kept consistent 96 kilobit bit rate so you can definitely calculate it. Yeah. Yeah hey I'll get right on that okay. Yeah I'm hoping you do after the patents filed.

16:27 And since I've been a listener since day one and it was high time I got current if you haven't yet passed it our 1000 I guess I just gave you your next promotional idea there you go. Yeah, so I need some getting laid karma and by the way We got a note from somebody yeah This is a bad idea right yeah, he says that he's noticed that when he gets laid He doesn't listen to the show so much. He says the show is kind of for for depressives who aren't getting any. I'm thinking, what? This isn't good. No! So wait a minute. So you get your, you request you're getting laid karma with a swastika nerf donation, then you get it and then you go away. This is, no, this is a very bad trend. So we have to rethink about how to do this. Maybe we should put a dollar limit, high dollar limit on it. He says, house limits, house limits. So he says,

17:22 To add posting dyslexic and drunk so looking forward to John figure out how John to read this. Excellent let me give that karma that was great thank you so much. You've got karma. And Russell will be knighted today as a knight of the no agenda roundtable for this outstanding contribution to the support of the program and we appreciate that. Uh Moise Khan. Oh our buddy. Yeah, our buddy $420 trifecta 420 club executive producer 420 404 is a bonus knighted you guys rock Oh, he's the sir. Did he get knighted? I think so. I think let me see doesn't he get knighted today? Someone does hmm

Abbottabad Pronunciation, Moise Khan Correction

Producer Moise Khan provided a correction on the proper pronunciation of Abbottabad, Pakistan, the site of the Osama bin Laden compound. Contrary to American media's common usage, the correct phonetic emphasis is "Abbott-a-bad" rather than "A-butt-a-bod." The correction is adopted as the official pronunciation for the program.

abbottabad· moise khan· pakistan· pronunciation· osama bin laden

18:06 I don't know, maybe JC's listening. Yeah, Buzzkill Jr. checked that. I have the feeling that Moyes is... I think he may have been night. Oh well, we'll figure it out. He's always in contact with us. Yeah. He's one of our... well, he's in Canada. Have you been practicing? Did you... you got the note from him about the pronunciation of the location of Osama Bin Laden's compound? He says that we keep mispronouncing it, but he didn't send me a note that had the pronunciation more accurate. No! Oh, no, no, he sent a YouTube video. You didn't see that? Oh, I didn't. Hold on a second. I come to you from the depths of

18:44 the country to talk to you about the pronunciation that is being mispronounced on the American media throughout the country. This interested me because whenever we have an opportunity to pronounce something properly, we want to do it, right? So this is good. Absolutely. So how have we always pronounced this town? Abbotabad. Abbotabad. This is incorrect! I want to know what this Abbotabad is. My butt is fine, but it has nothing to do with the bod. I would like to encourage you to take upon you the pronunciation of Abbottabad. Watch my lips closely. Okay. Watch how the syllables roll from my tongue like pomegranates at the time of harvest. Abbottabad. Not a but-a-bad. I don't know where this is coming from. Case in point, the British officer's name was

19:45 See, this is helpful. That's because it's very hard because you look at it and I guess our minds say... Well, everybody's pronouncing it Abbadabad, but it's Abbadabad. It's Abbadabad. Abbadabad. Abbadabad. Abbadabad. Abbadabad. Not Abbadabad. Abbadabad. Abbadabad. From now on, official pronunciation is Abbadabad. And let me point out, when you are at a cocktail party, this is like, this is seven minutes of entertainment. You can say excuse me. Oh now I'm starting to see the not getting laid thing. Yeah, when you're at a cocktail party and some hot blonde says abadabad, you come up to her and correct her. It's not about your butt, honey, although it's quite cute, but it's abadabad. That's the correct pronunciation because when I was driving the drones, we knew how to pronounce it. Abadabad. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been CIA for a while. That's how you do it.

20:43 Well that might help. Bing! You're in the pocket baby. Abbottabad. So from now on Abbottabad. Okay Abbottabad. Thank you Moise. Hopefully it won't come up in the conversation much. Ever again. I'm having enough trouble with ear rock and ear on. Well it's important that we do that. No it is. We have to be, we have to do it right. We have to be better than the rest of them. We might as well be better than the douchebag media. I mean come on. Right? Okay, so he tried he's the guy who tried to get some shots of the compound and when he was floating around Pakistan But then they destroyed it before he could stay flattened a flat in the brain Abbot about I think he was guy had a spray can he was gonna spray paint no agenda Wall and they and they saw him coming. Yeah, bring it down. Is that no agenda guys? four hundred four dollars from Astrid Klein Dame Astrid from Tokyo and

Well, the women are the ones that control the purse strings, let's be honest about it. Yeah, that's what we should have. Whilst my husband believes our money could be spent on better things like a house or saving for the future, and a fun internet radio show, I believe the best investment in our future is some no-agenda karma.

What you're gonna do is you're gonna find a place to put it. Yeah, and then detach and then go visit. And then you're gonna detach and drive around. You're not parallel parking this thing ever. In fact, I'm a little afraid of it if you look at it. It's a little frightening. Let me give the chat room a...

28:56 Give the chat room the link so they can see it you get you get Used to driving these now. I presume that I can can I put I'm gonna be gunning it around town Let's put it down, but can I can you think I can make it up the Rockies in this thing? Well, it's a truck not the trailer.

And of course the problem going up and down the rock is you might be able to get up but then getting down is really problematic. Why? Because going down is harder than going up. Well, just go backwards. You might be going backwards anyway. Yeah, he might be going backwards on the way up. I think it'll work out. I mean Mustang Sally's got the big block engine.

All right, so thank you to our executive producers and our future Knights who are coming up later on the program and our associate executive producers for providing us with the value for value. We highly appreciate that. We hope not to disappoint, of course, if you couldn't come in with a value donation, there's always something you can do. Propagate the fork. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Order! Hey! Shut up, slave! And by the way, for the chat room who are obviously experts in the hauling of trailer,

31:29 I do have a brake controller in the truck coincidentally. I looked at this, but what is this box? What is this box doing and I had to google the thing on the bus to see what I want Oh, it's a brake controller. Okay, I get it. So I've got that. Yeah, that's great Well, if you have a big unit like this should you definitely want one of those? Yeah. Well, maybe I need a different vehicle No, but I think it should be okay, right?

Woody Allen, Midnight in Paris European Criticism

Woody Allen's film "Midnight in Paris" faced unusual criticism from French critics for allegedly ignoring the plight of poor Parisians earning below minimum wage. The hosts defend the film as a work of storytelling rather than a social message, praising Owen Wilson's performance in what they consider one of Allen's best works.

woody allen· midnight in paris· robert julian· france· film criticism

33:24 No, that'd be nice. Yeah. So they can go up to Canada. Actually, you can go up to Alberta. No, we're not going to go up to Alberta. Okay. They're going to... Alberta's coming to us. Okay. You want to go first? I got tons of stuff. Well, I just wanted you to... You finished off last show with a little jab again. Just a little light piece I ran into. JC ran into the early reviews of the next Woody Allen movies finally, you know, he's floating around Europe. And I realized that there's some... You know, you talked about kind of the just general douchebaggery in Europe and I do have a clip of the drugs thing going on in Holland. I will point out that we...

34:07 that we discussed this months ago when before it was happening and now everyone's like, I mean people are listening to no agenda. Hopefully at the office you were saying, I knew this was coming or you said it weeks ago or months ago so you could look cool and get laid. I think we, I think up to a year ago. Yeah. But I, but I was reading this, this review of this, uh, this is the kind of, I just got the biggest kick out of this. The reviews that you, that Woody Allen, you know, kind of an American icon filmmaker gets, For his movies, and I have to think that the whole society thinks kind of like this I just want to read a little piece from this article About Alan has had to regularly fend off similar criticism when midnight in Paris was first released French filmmaker slash critic in this case Robert whose last name I can't pronounce good quick Julian who's by I

35:00 accused him in the movie of ignoring poor Parisians earning below the minimum wage. What? This is like, this is the way that... It was an Owen Wilson movie. Come on, what's wrong with you? It's like, this is like, this is like missing the entire point of the business you're in. Yeah. Storytelling. It's got nothing to do with putting out some message about Parisians and earning below the minimum wage as though that's your obligation. By the way, have you seen that movie? I think all of Europe has this kind of weird

35:36 thing going on that is something like it just that actually creeps me out thinking about it. Have you seen the movie? What, Midnight in Paris? Yeah. Oh yeah. Outstanding movie. I liked it a lot. Oh it's... I think it's one of the best movies he's ever done and Owen Wilson I thought did a great job. Great job. Yeah. So do you want to play this drug clip and then I can talk more about Europe because I've detected something going on. Okay, well good. Well, I got two European clips. I got the drug clip. Mm-hmm And which is just giving us a this is the background or with a somebody some American grousing on what's going on in Holland right now concerning Marijuana and this will keep you this catches up with what's what's kind of happening again reports?

CHAPTER 11 / 37 Discussion

Netherlands Marijuana Restrictions, Weed Pass Membership

The Dutch government is implementing new restrictions on cannabis coffee shops, transitioning them into members-only clubs for residents. Starting May 1, 2012, three southern provinces will require a "weed pass" to limit drug tourism from neighboring EU countries. Critics argue the law discriminates against EU citizens and will push the trade toward illegal hard drugs.

netherlands· marijuana· weed pass· coffee shops· drug tourism

36:23 The Netherlands is famous for its liberal approach to soft drugs. While it's not strictly legal to smoke cannabis here, its use is tolerated. The Dutch government decriminalized the possession of less than five grams of cannabis in 1976. Why do they associate porn music with Holland? What's up with that? Cafes or coffee shops are a major sight in most cities and a major attraction for tourists. But now the government wants to tighten the restrictions.

37:06 I think it's ridiculous. It's a shame because I believe that the world really admires the Dutch for their pragmatic and forward-thinking view on how they handle what they consider soft drugs. And it just seems that they're literally going back in time, they're digressing. Yo man! The new law is designed to cut the numbers of drug tourists who some residents had complained were creating nuisances like traffic jams and an increase of hard drug dealers on the streets. What a bunch of bullcrap that is! Is that bullcrap or this is the BBC by the way so we can't establish the fact. Of course, of course. It's a total lie, that is total bullcrap. It's not at all true.

37:52 is also designed to cut cross-border crime caused by foreigners coming to the Netherlands to buy their drugs then returning to sell them illegally at home. No, no, it's intended to push everyone towards the illegal trade like ecstasy and coke and heroin which is booming right now. This is groovy! On the 1st of May, coffee shops in three southern provinces will become members-only clubs. Up to 2,000 membership cards or weed passes will be issued by each cafe to residents over the age of 18. The law will come into effect across the country at the end of this year.

38:36 There are around 700 coffee shops in the Netherlands. Owners fighting the ban say the new law discriminates between EU citizens on the basis of where they live. Some claim the new rules will cost up to 90% of their business. By the way, I think that the little point that she makes there is the one that's the most interesting. How do you discriminate? The EU is the EU, right? Ah, you're leading right into my thesis. It's not a federation at all, it's the EU. It's one single centralized government. How can you discriminate against one person from Germany and one person that lives locally in Holland? Ah, there's something very important happening. Well, take it. Okay.

CHAPTER 12 / 37 Discussion

Schengen Agreement, European Border Closures and Germany

The Schengen Agreement, which allows for passport-free travel across Europe, is being rescinded or suspended by several nations including Denmark and Spain. Spain temporarily reinstated border controls ahead of a European Central Bank meeting in Barcelona to prevent foreign activists from joining anti-austerity protests. There is a growing theory that Germany is positioning itself to dominate a centralized European government as the Eurozone faces collapse.

schengen agreement· european union· spain· germany· borders

39:19 So this is all a part of what I believe is a huge, it's a theory and it's not, and maybe it's conspiratorial, but I'm reading a lot of things. Of course, having grown up in Europe, I pay attention to a lot. I understand a lot of the foreign lingos. This is a part of the Schengen agreement being rescinded. Are you familiar with the Schengen agreement? I've no okay. Tell me the Schengen agreement spell it SCH ENG EN the Schengen agreement was an important part prior to the European Union where the where the countries agree free and open borders we don't have to show your passport and

40:02 And I had to deal with this a lot when I was living in Gitmo Nation East in the UK. The UK never signed on to the Schengen Agreement, so I couldn't just fly from London over to Amsterdam, even a small field that literally have Gestapo waiting for me to check my papers. Because you know, I came in from, you know, I'm in a Cessna. So anywhere I went, I had to go through passport control and coming back the same thing. So the Schengen Agreement is being blown up. Denmark has now rescinded the Schengen Agreement and listen to what's happening in Spain. Now we know Spain is in deep, deep trouble. I can even play a clip later on. For some reason this country which is a tinderbox at the moment has decided to have the meeting of the European Central Bankers in Spain.

40:54 And gee, wow, do you think people might riot against these a-holes? Yeah, well, why are you gonna go to Spain? Stay in Brussels. No, no. What a bunch of jerks. We gotta go see. They're doing it on purpose. Yes, they're poking people in the eye with the stick. And what is, what are they going to do about it? Spain has stepped up border security ahead of next week's European Central Bank meeting in Barcelona. Amid fears foreign activists will try to join locals in staging anti-austerity protests. It's temporarily banned passport-free travel under Europe's Schengen Treaty. So, they are turning back the clock on the Schengen Treaty, which means the borders are closing. And I believe there's a reason for this.

41:40 Here's what's being said in European conspiracy circles. We know that the Germans have been printing marks for a long time. You've picked that up. We've picked up this big rumor in Eastern Europe. Or they would be called Northern Nordic Euros. We have Nordic Euros and Latin Euros. But you know, it'll be whatever it will be. The word is that France is going to pull out of the euro because their banking system is about to completely collapse. That's why, you know, that's why all of this stuff has been going on with the ESM and the, you know, which is the, they move that up a year, which basically makes all other countries, uh, you know, sign blank checks and it'll be straight to the French bankers. Then Germany's going out.

42:29 Germany owns everybody's debt including 90% of France's debt and Germany will effectively have won the war they lost, the two wars they lost. Two wars, maybe actually more than that if we want to go back to Napoleonic times. Without any bloodshed they will own everybody's ass and everyone's talking about this in conspiratorial circles, I'll just say it. that it's gonna blow up, Germany's gonna run the whole entire show. And when you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. Because everyone is freaking out about the austerity measures right now. And there's riots everywhere. We don't see it here in the United States on television. We're not gonna show you any of it. You barely even see it in Europe, really. I mean, I get my video stuff from Euronews. So the start of that is you close down the borders.

43:25 Because they know what's going to happen. And I think the Netherlands is already sucking up to Germany. That's the only... Obviously the Germans are the ones who complained about all these drugs. It is the southern part of the country that German and I've heard heard other reports that it's German tourists mostly to drive into Holland buy a bunch of dope and then drive back to Germany. It's also Brits, but yeah The the Brits come over consume it on the spot, which we like which is good. Yeah. Yeah, so do Americans Yeah, yeah, but usually in Amsterdam there, but this is you know, the Germans are processing it Yeah, we can't we don't why we're not making any we're not getting any benefit from this

44:06 And so then they show this bogus argument. There's a bunch of traffic jams. I mean, give me a break. Does that even make sense? This is just the beginning. Get everybody used to it. And when they say wheat past, that's the same thing as saying passport. It's the same thing. Baron von Pelsmacher sent us a video. He drives from Belgium up to the Netherlands. There's no border whatsoever currently. And they have the big traffic signs that they They program on the side of the road, literally flashing, no drugs, turn around, go back. There's no drugs for you over here. It's the start and the Schengen agreement is closing down. The borders are closing. Shields are up people. You are screwed. By the way, when you drive around Europe, even though this Schengen agreement has been in business since when, 85. Yeah, for a while. All those little booths are still up. I didn't see them tear too many of them down.

44:57 The little border patrol, the little border police. But you don't have to stop, you can just go through them. No, I know, but I'm saying they're still there. Oh yeah, no, they didn't take them down just in case and here we are and you watch Germany is gonna run the freaking show and they're gonna be like, we did it, didn't have to kill any Jews, nothing, how about that? Hey, high five! Now the Dutch thing in the Netherlands... I don't know that the Germans even know they're pulling this off. Oh, Merkel knows. Herr Merkel is all over this. It's a banker takeover. They did a beautiful job. Yeah, German banks. Yeah. So check this out. So of course this news about this news about the weed pass has been top of the news in the Netherlands. Now of course the Dutch government fell, which means they're going to be snap elections in September, September 12th. Snap elections they call it. However,

CHAPTER 13 / 37 Discussion

Netherlands Austerity Measures, VAT Increase and Taxes

Following the collapse of the Dutch coalition government, a new austerity package has been agreed upon to address the economic crisis. Measures include increasing the VAT tax from 19% to 21%, ending tax relief on new mortgage repayments, and increasing taxes on alcohol and tobacco. The package also introduces a "crisis tax" for high earners while reducing VAT on solar panels and theater tickets.

netherlands· austerity· vat tax· mortgage interest· healthcare fees

45:53 So you now have a what do they call it? Demissionary government. Is that the right word? I don't know. A demissioned? I don't know. Yeah, I think that's the word. I never heard it. Well, if not, it's a word now. So you have a demissioned cabinet, so they can't make any quote big decisions. However, the minority cabinet, after two days of talks, agreed to an austerity package Following the collapse of the right-wing coalition, would you like to hear the measures that we'd like to hear what's planned for the slaves of Gitmo Nation Lowlands? Oh, I'm on pins and needles. While everybody is talking about the weed pass, the weed pass. Here we go. An increase in the 19% VAT tax to 21%. Let's just start there. No tax relief on all but repayment of new mortgages.

46:50 So you won't be able to deduct your mortgage interest on an existing mortgage. That's going to kill half the country. People earning between 33,000 and 43,000 euros will pay an annual rent increase of inflation plus 1%. So these 33,000 to 43,000 euros, it's not a lot of money to live in the lowlands. You can now pay an annual rent increase, which I guess is a tax. Yeah. Uh... The tax break on home-to-work travel ends. I mean, this is heavy, heavy shit. Increase in tax on alcohol and tobacco. Because you know you're gonna be smoking and drinking like a fiend from all this crap, so... Higher healthcare fees. And by the way, the Netherlands has always been heralded as one of those great countries with centralized healthcare. Hey!

47:50 reform of own risk payment to save 1 billion euros. So you're gonna be shelling out more. However, fees for psychiatric help will be scrapped. Because you're gonna need a lot of it. There will be a special crisis tax. Reprogramming the public. Yes, a special crisis tax for very high earners. I don't know if you have to be high from the weed or you're just earning a lot of money, but either way you're going to be taxed extra. However, no more cuts in development aid for foreign countries. No, let's keep that in there. We got to keep on going with agenda 21, have 0.6% of GDP going straight to other countries. Good job.

48:29 Oh, and by the way, the VAT tax on solar panels and theater tickets will be reduced. So you can still pray to the sun that it's going to make you some electricity and you can go see some movies which will be promoted to you on RTL. And no one is talking about this. It's all about the weed pass. Yeah, yeah. Well good, they've learned from us. How unreal is that, eh? I don't think, well it's going to be fun to watch. All it is is part of a kind of a depression wave that is going to overtake all of the EU. Let me ask you a technical question. Is the definition of depression not a double dip recession?

CHAPTER 14 / 37 Discussion

Global Economic Depression, Spain Unemployment Crisis

Spain's unemployment rate has reached 24.4%, with youth unemployment exceeding 51%, the highest in the Eurozone. The discussion explores the technical definition of an economic depression, suggesting that the current global downturn meets the criteria of a sustained long-term decline in real GDP.

depression· recession· spain· unemployment· gdp

49:17 Did that change? I thought that the definition of a depression was... There's actually a very formal definition of a depression. Let's see if we can find it. Let's take a look at this. And by the way, it has changed over the years. It's essentially... It's not this... The last... Econ... So I have Spreo in the chat room saying that everyone's talking... Well, Spreo, you are on the inside, dude. I don't think... Most people are talking about Holland's got talent. I think most people are talking about the new addition of the voice kids and the weed pass. I would say that's what most people are talking about, but we'll see. See if I can find the definition. Actually, the economists have come up with a definition, a number of quarters that have dropped by X amount of whatever. In the olden days, it was essentially, it was, you know, when the economy stopped and prices were going down, it was the

50:15 everything was getting depressed in terms of prices. You had the opposite of an inflationary situation. Let's see. No, I don't have it in front of me. But they have changed it enough so that it's pretty hard to call a depression. And they've been very reluctant to do so because I think we're in one now, personally. I always thought it was if you go into recession two times within a quarter or something like that, Now according to the book of knowledge... I'm looking at here they got so much... they don't have a real... No, they say in economics a depression is a sustained long-term downturn. Yeah, this is not... there's an actual formula for saying... It says there is no agreed definition of the term depression. No, that's not true. Uh-huh, okay.

51:02 I've heard it said numerous times in its... Here, a recession lasting two or more years, a decline in real GDP exceeding 10%. We've been in a depression since 2002. Yeah, we're in a depression. There's no doubt about it. But the worst part of it, anyway, okay, we'll worry about the definition. We'll worry about what we call it. How about just crap? It's not good. No, I might as well play the clip I have of the Spanish economy. Yeah, which is Spain near Spain near the end is the name of the clip and it essentially gives you some some figures and does make you wonder why they would have a meeting in Spain with these numbers that they're about to express. Well, there's some depressing news on the economics front from Spain. Yay! The released figures show that nearly a quarter of the workforce is jobless, the highest level in 18 years.

51:51 Those figures mean more than 5.5 million people are looking for work, giving Spain the highest unemployment rate in the whole of the Eurozone. Gavin Hewitt reports. More bad news, the unemployment queues are getting longer. Unemployment reached 24.4%. Youth unemployment is at 51% and the government expects the figures to go higher. I keep looking and looking, but there's hardly anything. I'm living day to day. I'm single. I've got a daughter who's studying and now I'm almost on the streets. Oh yeah. Get used to it and watch me zip by in my trailer. So we have 51% in getting larger of student, you know, people just recent grads and students. This is the group that doesn't mind going out and causing a ruckus. Well, they got nothing better to do and there's no more weed.

CHAPTER 15 / 37 Discussion

Greece Energy Crisis, Utility Tax Collection

The Greek government is providing 250 million euros in emergency funds to electricity providers as citizens stop paying bills due to a 1.7 billion euro property tax attached to utility rates. A similar trend is noted in Las Cruces, New Mexico, where municipal governments are reportedly tying traffic camera violations to utility payments, threatening to shut off electricity for unpaid fines.

greece· electricity· property tax· las cruces· utilities

52:42 We can't drive to Holland and bring any weed. Only you can go to Portugal if you can get over the hill. Yeah. There's no weed, man. Let's go break something. There's no more weed. So this is not, this is, this is... Well, let me give you Greece. Shaping up is a bad thing. By the way, did I say in the last show that Garcia finally got back a hold of me? Yeah. Oh good, he's alive. He's okay? Yeah. He's doing well. He's gonna have some reports for us. He must have gotten laid and forgot to listen to the show or something like that. So Greece is now the... so they have no money, as we know.

53:18 And they've actually looted the university funds and the pension funds, and you know that's not even really being reported. They're going to provide 250 million euros in emergency funds to its electricity providers because people aren't paying their electric bills anymore, frankly because they can't, and they have to give this money to the electrical companies to prevent a California-style energy crisis. Now, that has a double meaning there because one, I guess what they're saying is rolling blackouts and just the like now your electricity is going to get turned off. And two, of course, the California energy crisis was a scam by Enron. So there's like a double meaning there. Yeah, this is rigged too. But an increasing number of consumers stopped paying their electricity bills after the government started collecting a 1.7 billion euro property tax

54:10 through the electric companies. Remember they did that? It's like now if you wanted to have your utilities on, then you had to pay it and as a part of your payment, your property taxes were jacked onto your electric rates and people just couldn't afford it anymore. This is very interesting because this is now being used in the United States and this is a real problem. in Las Cruces, New Mexico, where the White Sands are, where we visited, they are now tying the non-payment of traffic camera violations to your utilities. So if you don't pay your traffic camera violations, so you speed or you go a little bit over the, I've had this happen where you move forward and you're a little bit over the line and then you get flashed even though you're not driving. If you don't pay that, they will turn off your electricity.

55:08 In America this is happening. Yeah, well this is because the many of these operations have been taken over by you know they're trying to privatize everything. Scammers get hold of these, I mean San Francisco for example it's not the courts anymore that do parking tickets, it's some company. Yeah, so you can't really appeal to anybody back basically really you didn't get a ticket was unfair. Well screw you screw you cares So anyway, they they've this kind of this also going on with the prison systems They keep trying to privatize all the prison so I saw the news now seven million people who are if they're not in jail they're under the

CHAPTER 16 / 37 Discussion

DUI Enforcement, Breathalyzer Ignition Scams

The use of ignition interlock devices and ankle bracelets is criticized as a "scam" that penalizes individuals beyond their driving privileges. An anecdote describes a driver in Austin required to use a breathalyzer to start his car, who was fined for residual alcohol despite not driving. The segment compares these private enforcement measures to high parking fines in San Francisco.

dui· breathalyzer· ignition interlock· lindsay lohan· san francisco

55:45 incarceration umbrella. So that means that they're either, they have ankle bracelets. You know, a buddy of mine here in Austin. Which is another moneymaker. Oh yeah, a buddy of mine here in Austin. Check it out. So he had a DUI, which of course he's an A-hole and he deserved a ticket. And then he got stopped again and he had, I think, you know, He says he had two beers, doesn't matter, I mean you shouldn't be drinking at all. So I condemn him for that. And but you know he said well you know I let me do a blood test and they arrested him on the spot, took him down, never did the blood test, never. But you know he gets another hit on his record and one more and he's going to jail and he deserves he deserves to go to jail for it. But here's the thing. Not if he didn't do any of it. Well he can't prove you know they never took the

56:40 Regardless, after the second one, they put a breathalyzer starter thing on his car. And so that cost him, you know, 1500 bucks. So he can't start his car. And he's a doctor, by the way, can't start his car without breathing into the tube. And so he had been out drinking one night and now he just has someone take him home. So the next morning he gets into his car and it registers him as still having residual alcohol and it has nothing to do with the level just any alcohol because it states he is forbidden to drink you hear what I'm saying he's forbidden to drink he's forbid it drinking anywhere whether he's getting in a car or not is a violation of his sentence seems like a

57:34 Doesn't seem right. He showed me the paperwork. He is forbidden to... It's the same thing that Lindsay Lohan went through, which was the training for us. Remember, she got... She had an ankle bracelet and she, you know, she had a drink and then it went off and then she had to go back to court again. This is the difference between if you get caught again driving with alcohol, going to jail, which is deserved, and forbidding someone to drink. Well, Anyway, so now he got like a violation light, the car wouldn't start and so he has to, you know, then he has to call them, they give him a code to reset it and he gets $150 fine for the violation. It's nuts! The whole thing is a big scam. The whole thing's a big scam but parking tickets in San Francisco right now are $65 to $100 for parking in a meter. Well anyway, we're just telling people stuff they already know. We don't need to delve into that.

CHAPTER 17 / 37 Discussion

German Economic Takeover, Angela Merkel and Greece

Tensions are rising in Greece against German-led austerity measures, with local newspapers depicting Chancellor Angela Merkel with Nazi imagery. The hosts suggest that German banks and the central banking system are executing a financial takeover of Europe. This shift coincides with the breakdown of the Schengen Agreement as countries attempt to manage refugee flows and economic instability.

germany· angela merkel· greece· deutsche bank· euro

58:34 That doesn't help. So Germany is going to take over all of Europe. Congratulations. Start sprechen sie deutsch because you're going to need it. Ich will mein Fahrrad zurück, which is I want my bike back. It's a bad Nazi joke, but it's still a big one. It's a good language because it's one that, you know, it doesn't necessarily get people to to want to have sex or necessarily get them laid because it's such a rough sounding tough language which is good for the show apparently since that's the key to success. I will say though I'm not getting laid. I was in Berlin for quite a while we were considering opening a Mevio office you know a couple years ago and I thoroughly enjoyed working with the Germans I mean they're really nice people it's just this Merkel business and the central bankers and you know the

59:24 the former Deutsche Bank, and these are just a-holes. It's a total takeover, and they're laughing. If you look at the Greek newspapers, they've got pictures of Angela Merkel with a swastika on her sleeve. And it's not the first time that the Germans have screwed Greece, I might point out. A lot of people who remember the previous time are still alive. And they're waving their flag saying, hey, hey, come on, we can't have this happen again. President Obama should implement a no-fly zone. I don't know, it's just that I think you're... yeah, we'll be following this obviously. You can't say I'm completely off my rocker. It's a distinct possibility. Which is what we've been saying on the show ever since we started dissecting the EU and what they're up to. Or what they're trying to do. I don't think it's gonna work out.

1:00:22 Well, but the Schengen thing, it's a big deal because there were two selling points. One was we all have the same money, you don't have to exchange it. And the other one is you don't have to show your passport. Those are the big selling points and now they're closing down the passport part. Well, there's only one more thing you need to change and that's just screw y'all, you're out. We have the Nordic Euros. So we'll be up here with the Netherlands and with parts of Scandinavia, the parts that are in. Well they've been taking a number of runs at trying to close the borders again. And if you remember, this is over a year ago, they tried to get this thing to fall apart when they had these refugees that came over on boats from Libya or Tunisia or

1:01:08 Egypt and then they all went to Italy because that's where they you know there's some connection there historically and so they go there and they tell you we don't know out right now this is Gravitating all over Europe. They stuck them on an island down there in Italy first That's yeah, and then they got on boats, and they would be saying we can go anywhere I said no no you can so there was there too But that never caught on as a general impetus to shut down all the borders, but the pot might Yeah, the pot is that's the way in to get everyone. No, you can't have any. It's a lot of attention. Yeah.

White House Correspondents Dinner, Jimmy Kimmel Pot Joke

At the 2012 White House Correspondents' Dinner, comedian Jimmy Kimmel questioned President Obama regarding the federal crackdown on marijuana. Kimmel joked about the "Funyun supply" and noted that pot smokers vote, causing visible discomfort for the President. The event was criticized as a "celebrity circle jerk" featuring figures like Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan rather than actual journalists.

1:01:44 Well there you go. So I just finish up the over the Saturday there was the correspondence dinner in Washington and I have some clips that I'll play later but I do there was one pot related clip that is actually interesting. Yeah this is so what happened for those you don't know and I watched this and I didn't even pull clips so I knew John would. There's the they call it the prom It is the annual circle jerk where the corrupted mainstream media brings in a bunch of their little slavelets like Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan and members of their, so members of their biggest rated shows. So it's a big celebrity gala. It used to be for correspondents, now it's a celebrity shindig. Which this year ABC of course who have been completely

1:02:35 They rolled lay down and rolled over for the administration. We know that the sister of the president of ABC News is a special advisor to the president. So they're completely compromised. They'll do whatever they need. They just course. And so Jimmy Kimmel, of course, is ABC, which is why he got him. And why did why did choose Jimmy Kimmel? Because he's ABC. And I have to say before you get into it, So first the president does his shtick and there's supposed to be irony and funniness and then Jimmy Kimmel gets on. This was the worst thing I've ever seen. It was basically two guys just reading a bunch of jokes. It was like open mic night at the comedy store.

1:03:21 And they would just keep going, they would just keep going. It's like, oh this one fell on his face, oh they'd keep going to the next one. No he did, he definitely, Kimmel plowed through the jokes. So did Obama. Obama had nothing but joke after joke. I agree, I think Obama was not, not his best. And usually he's good, but it just shows the guy would be equally as good or as bad as just a comedian. He could just be a comedian. Actually in a pre-show Kimball suggested that he could yeah I saw that so Kim will had a lot of jokes some of them were funny and some of them were just dogs and I do have a best of There's only four or five that I thought were hilarious and I have that as the end of show clip where we can play it now. We'll do that end of show. Yeah, let's do that. The mainstream media will be showing these all day long. It's like, haha, how funny was it? We had our little circle jerk, haha, little reach around. So funny. But anyway, right in the middle of the thing,

1:04:15 Kimmel decides to go after Obama on pot and he gets visibly nervous. Yeah, it was a good one. Oh, there he is. I do have one real question for you, Mr. President. What's with the marijuana crackdown? I mean, seriously, what is the concern? We will deplete the nation's Funyun supply? You know, pot smokers vote too, sometimes a week after the election, but they vote. Let's take a quick poll. I would like everyone in this room to raise your hand if you've never smoked pot. Look at Brit Hume, he's high right now. He's on his fourth almond macaroon.

1:05:02 Mr. President, I hope you don't think I'm out of line here, but marijuana is something that real people care about and the fact that you believe Speaker Boehner when he tells you he still has control of his party leads me to believe that you must be smoking some crazy great weed yourself. Woody Harrelson just woke up. So I think you will not see that on all the replays on all the networks. They won't play that one. And the reason why I got such a big laugh is because all these a-holes who are sitting there know that they're not reporting on the true scandal that is taking place. Yeah, no, I agree. I thought that was, but Kimmel was visibly shaken. Yeah. And out of sorts as he went through that little bit and then he ended it and then he got back into, into just joke, joke, joke, joke. And, but that part was like, whoa, that's interesting. That's his one, you know, that's his one Colbert moment where he's not going to get invited back. No, no, no, no, never.

CHAPTER 19 / 37 Discussion

Barack Obama, Pit Bull and Huffington Post Jokes

During his Correspondents' Dinner routine, President Obama made a joke referencing Sarah Palin and the controversy over him eating dog meat as a child in Indonesia. He also congratulated the Huffington Post on its Pulitzer Prize, mocking the site's business model of linking to other journalists' work without paying them.

barack obama· sarah palin· huffington post· arianna huffington· pulitzer prize

1:05:58 The whole thing and then go back to Leno and then the president, you know making jokes about being born in Hawaii and it's just like yeah You're making jokes about some really serious things that are really being questioned and it's just everyone who was there should you know should just be on a list and When it's our turn we round them up and we shoot him. I So, so I do have two Obama clips that we can pull. One, he was making a lot of fun of his situation with dogs. I didn't think that was funny. I thought his joke was dumb. Well, I thought it was okay. I think the whole dog eating thing is a complete distraction. I can't believe you are corrupting our program with this. Play Obama pit bull joke. It's short. Even Sarah Palin's getting back into the game. Guest hosting on the Today Show.

1:06:53 Which reminds me of an old saying, what's the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? A pit bull is delicious. So the thing that went through my mind And I think because they kept showing Michelle Obama and she was going like, oh no you didn't, oh no you didn't. She had one of those. Yeah. Was because you eat a pit bull but you don't eat Sarah Palin. I mean I could only think of just eating. Yeah, the lewd kind of subtext of that joke is. Yeah, a little. I noticed that too.

1:07:30 But I think everybody... And I'll tell you what I'd rather eat. Yeah, that would... well, he could have done that gag. But then he did have one, I thought, poignant little kind of jab against the Huffington Post, which was definitely... I guess somebody's paying attention. Plenty of journalists are here tonight. I'd be remiss if I didn't congratulate the Huffington Post on their Pulitzer Prize. You deserve it, Ariana Grande. There's no one else out there linking to the kinds of hard-hitting journalism that HuffPo is linking to every single day. Give them a round of applause. And you don't pay them, it's a great business model. That was good, pandering. The topper was good, and you don't pay them, that's a great business model, which is true. Well, the Huffington Post did win the Pulitzer Prize for some actual journalism from David Wood.

1:08:31 Or it was uh, you know, there was a beyond the battlefield, but it was all about veterans and with more propaganda You know, that's you know, which it was basically just panting the whole thing the whole thing I just I you know when jimmy kimmel listed at the end there he listed all the people who in the room advertisers he said, you know sponsors all the the big wigs i'm like If Al-Qaeda ever wanted to do something good, that was the room to bomb. Right there. Just blow them all up. All of them. Can you imagine what a beautiful world it would have been the next day? Yeah, we've been completely in a fascist state. I mean, I don't want to be, you know, I don't want to, I don't condone violence.

1:09:18 Uh, but wow, it was just douchebag heaven, and then- It was douchebags on parade. And then- yes, and thank you. And then to have Kim Kardashian there, oh, I mean, it just- you make- ugh. Well, if you looked I looked at the guest list and it would be you look at like Bloomberg's guest list and it wasn't anybody from Bloomberg. It was all these celebrities. Yeah, you look at CBS. It was all where's the correspondence here? They're in the back by the way, that's all the writers and corresponds into the back of the room and the fronts all these celebrities that shouldn't even be at this event. Okay, so first place. So while all these well all the news media who are giving you this crap

CHAPTER 20 / 37 Discussion

CISPA Amendments, Cyber Bullying and Surveillance

The House passed the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) with several amendments that expand government surveillance capabilities. Amendment 6 allows for the use of shared cyber threat information to investigate "psychological threats" or bullying. Critics argue these provisions effectively legalize government intrusion into private networks and email communications under the guise of protecting minors.

cispa· cybersecurity· cyber bullying· fourth amendment· surveillance

1:09:59 While they were out partying and of course you know it's not just what you saw on television there's big parties after all this. Before and after. Yeah it's huge everyone's getting hammered David Gregory you know he did some awards. Google had some big party for these guys. The whole thing is it's like screwed so you're lucky we're here. Meanwhile CISPA passed the house And but with amendments and I'd like to point out a few of them. Yeah, the amendments are worse. Shall I? Did you read them? Because I've got the amendments here. Oh, all right. So there were nine, ten, sixteen amendments and two of them, three of them caught my eye.

1:10:42 Amendment number five. So for those of you who don't know, CISPA, and we read this document, and this is not so much about copyright protection. This is about the government being in your network, in your email, in your A, and your commercial companies, private companies providing access, sharing with the government. And the reasons why comes up in amendment number six. from Quail of Arizona, Eshoo of California, Thompson of California, and Brown of Georgia would limit the use of shared cyber threat information to five purposes only. Are you ready for them, John? Five purposes only. Purpose number one, cybersecurity. That's not broad at all, luckily. Number two, investigation and prosecution of cybersecurity crimes.

1:11:36 3. Protection of individuals from danger of death or physical injury 4. Protection of minors from physical or psychological harm i.e. bullying 5. Protection of the National Security of the United States. And there's an elaboration under Amendment number six that I want to go to. So I just gave you the highlights. That's how it'll be reported in the news, but let's expand on that. So we have cybersecurity purposes, investigation and prosecution of cybersecurity crimes, and then

1:12:23 for the protection of individuals from the danger of death or serious bodily harm and the investigation and prosecution of crimes involving such danger of death or serious bodily harm. So anything I just said I could be investigated for, they could snoop everyone's packets, you're in the chat room, you're all valid. Now under the protecting minors, the expanded stipulation, for the protection of minors from child pornography. Any risk of sexual exploitation and serious threats to the physical safety of such minor, including kidnapping and trafficking, and the investigation and prosecution of crimes involving child pornography,

1:13:05 any risk of sexual exploitation and serious threats to the physical safety and minors including kidnapping and trafficking and any crime referred to in United States Code Title 18 including psychological threat. That is bullying. So if you bully someone, if you post a comment that is snarky, is trolly, you're fair game. You are fair game. So... If you post a comment that says, you suck. Yeah. Well, no, you suck and... Now you gotta cause some... It's gotta be a little more than that. It's gotta be... I think that would hurt someone's feelings. Try this. You suck, you fag. That would do it. Well, that's too obvious. That's too obvious. But this is the gulag. We thought the brown shirts were gonna march in the streets and we got all our guns and ammo. Useless! Useless!

CHAPTER 21 / 37 Discussion

Cybersecurity Enhancement Act, Federal Cyber Workforce

HR 2096, the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2012, aims to build a federal cybersecurity workforce through university grants and scholarships. The bill also mandates a comprehensive strategy for the adoption of cloud computing by the federal government. Concerns are raised that this creates a "cyber army" of government-funded researchers and facilitates a "straight pipe" for the NSA into private cloud services.

cybersecurity enhancement act· hr 2096· cloud computing· nsa· scholarships

1:14:11 We- you can't shoot them on the internet. I can, hold on a second. Hey you! Because they're coming. They are coming for you. Now. Now another little thing that no one even talked about was the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act that passed. Oh, how come no one's talking about that? This is, um, HR 2096. Now it's not law yet, but it passed the Senate. And this is it wouldn't be an HR if it was passing in the Senate. It already passed the Senate now was passed by the house. It had to be some S. No, now this it has already passed in the Senate. Now it is passed in the house. So now it goes on to become law. And this is the cyber security enhancement act of 2012. Whenever I hear the word enhancement, unless it's about my penis, I'm very worried findings. Uh,

1:15:11 The cybersecurity policy guy from Texas who did it by the way. Oh yeah, Lamar McCall McCall. The cybersecurity review published by the president may 2009 concluded that our information technology and communications infrastructure is vulnerable and has suffered intrusions that have allowed criminals to steal hundreds of millions of dollars and nation states and other entities to steal intellectual property and sensitive military information. Wow, how come I didn't hear about that on the news? Did you know all that? No, no, I do now. No later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this act the president shall transmit to Congress a report addressing the cybersecurity workforce needs of the federal government. Here's the gulag. That's what this should be called the gulag act.

1:15:57 The report shall include an examination of the current state of and the projected needs of federal cyber security workforce, including a comparison of the different agencies and departments and an analysis of the capacity of such agencies and departments to meet those needs. This bill then goes on to... By the way, this has not passed the Senate. Oh, I know. The original 2011 Act has passed. This is the enhancement to it. I'm sorry, but this is has okay not yeah It still has two steps to go before doesn't matter because no one's talking about it. So it's gonna pass now. Yeah, I'm right So what this is about is building an entire cybersecurity force of brown shirts Oh cool, and it will be done through a huge number of grants and

1:16:47 through scholarships, so we're pandering to the scholastic educational complex. Well we have to because, and that's actually a real good gimmick if you think about it, because they've made college so unaffordable that people will gravitate toward any sort of money. Cyber security university industry task force. Again, no later than 180 days of the enactment, the director of the Office of Science and Technology and Policy shall convene a task force to explore mechanisms for carrying out collaborative research, development, education, and training activities for cybersecurity through a consortium or other appropriate entity with participants from institutions of higher education and industry. They're all going to get together, they're going to create these brown shirts,

1:17:35 Because that'll be the only job you can go to college and you can learn to fly a drone or you can learn how to fight cybercrime. The task force shall develop options for a collaborative model and an organized organizational structure for such entity under which the joint research and development activities could be planned. So when you have R&D, that is literally money flowing from the government under the as grants to educational institutions So they're paying to educate an entire cyber army that works for the feds. And just for you, I highlighted one more thing because I thought you'd like it. Cloud computing strategy. In general, the director in collaboration with the Federal CIO Council, which includes the guy, the Federal CIO Council, doesn't that include Ben Inoff? I think it does. From Salesforce? I don't know. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Google it.

1:18:33 in consultation with other relevant federal agencies and stakeholders from the private sector, shall continue to develop and encourage the implementation of a comprehensive strategy for the use and adoption of cloud computing services by the federal government. There you go. That's just asking for trouble for a cyber security operation. Oh no, no, no, no, no, because in carrying out the strategy developed under subsection A, the director shall give consideration to activities that accelerate the development in collaboration with the private sector, i.e. Salesforce, of standards that address interoperability and portability of cloud computing services. In other words, you use the cloud, the government flips the switch they're in.

1:19:18 Well, you know, the problem with this kind of hand wringing is that they already do this. Oh, it's just making it legal. Yeah. Yeah. And this is all in the show notes for zero four dot show notes dot com. Both the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act and the CISPA amendments are PDF files under clips and stuff. And they are marked up there for your convenience for sharing around the office. This, by the way, unlikely to get you laid. If you're walking around talking about this people are gonna name. Oh, yeah, no, you're done. You're crazy. You're crazy. Never. Yeah, you're done. You'll never get a blacklist. I'll never get laid But we do this so you don't have to I'm amused by that. You know, I guess before the show

1:20:02 You mentioned, like I couldn't get you the clips today through my normal email because the attachment mechanism is not working for some reason. So I decided to use FTP to go to Gmail. So great that then you'd be tracked a lot easier. The feds will at least maybe be interested in this, which is probably true. I wasn't thinking, I was thinking about it at the time saying, yeah, you know, they probably Gmail is probably just monitored like It's probably a straight pipe into the NSA. Sure, well we know it is. The NSA is already, they're working together. They admit it, they just don't tell you how they're working together because that could compromise national security of course. Now, while we're on the topic... So I'm going to send all my clips through Gmail from now on because at least we have some entertainment value on the other end. And you should mark it up by saying, hey, hey, listen to this one in particular. So while we're on the topic of the educational brown shirt gulag,

CHAPTER 22 / 37 Discussion

Military Education Executive Order, GI Bill Recruiting

President Obama signed an executive order establishing the "Know Before You Owe" fact sheet for veterans and service members. The order restricts access to military installations for educational institutions, targeting for-profit schools like the University of Phoenix. Critics suggest this move benefits established universities by limiting competition for lucrative GI Bill funds.

executive order· gi bill· university of phoenix· veterans· military recruiting

1:20:58 The president, now he's already been doing this whole loan thing and dividing the country once again and Republicans bad, whatever. Basically get the banks more money, don't let people go bankrupt, all this stuff. And then he comes out with an executive order which This was not just a little executive order like I command thee to do this. No, this had sections and general provisions and specifications and stipulations. And it was the subject of his weekly podcast, not the best podcast in the universe. In fact, his podcast is the worst podcast in the universe. No one watches it. Average 700 views a week. This is his weekly address. I clipped a little relevant piece from it. See if you can catch what's going on with this.

1:21:49 That's progress. But it's not enough to just help our veterans and service members afford school. We need to make sure they have all the tools they need to make an informed decision when it comes to picking the right program. The sad truth is that there are people out there who are less interested in helping our men and women in uniform getting ahead and more interested in making a buck. They bombard potential students with emails and pressure them into making a quick decision. Some of them steer recruits towards high-interest loans and mislead them about credit transfers and job placement programs. One of the worst examples was a college recruiter who visited a Marine barracks and enrolled Marines with brain injuries so severe that some of them couldn't recall what courses the recruiter had signed them up for. That's appalling. It's disgraceful. And even though the vast majority of schools do the right thing, we need to guard against the bad actors who don't.

1:22:42 That's why on Friday I signed an executive order making life a whole lot more secure for our service members, veterans and their families. And a whole lot tougher for anyone who tries to prey on them. We're making sure veterans and service members get a simple fact sheet called Know Before You Owe that lays out all the information they need about financial aid and paying for college. We're requiring schools to offer counseling to help students finish their degree even if they have to move or deploy. And we're stepping up our efforts to fight dishonest recruiters by strengthening the rules about who can come on base and make it easier to file complaints. Okay, did you understand what's going on there? Well, they're gonna have a pamphlet. Yes. The executive order, there's a lot of language for just a pamphlet. Relevant, section 4E, establish new uniform rules and strengthen existing procedures for access to military installations by educational institutions.

1:23:39 Could go on but here's the deal you know other school except the ones that play ball and the big ones will be allowed to go on to bases to recruit people under the extended GI bills This is a huge windfall for the established universities that play along So if you and I start the no agenda University and we want to teach people something useful which possible, you know, we could teach you how to be a real journalist and We would not be allowed on base to recruit. This is a huge deal Military recruits under GI Bill provisions is big. It's yeah, there's a lot of money hundreds of millions What what he was annoyed by supposedly is I would I would think it's like the University of Phoenix or one of the they mentioned it in another report Yeah, yeah some and they made a point of it for profit Yes schools coming on base and then selling these guys on their programs now that said

1:24:38 What has changed that you've noticed over the past, I don't know, five or six years when we have like 720% increase in tuition fees at any university? They've all looked at the for-profit model and said, We can do that. Yeah, yeah. Ratcheting it up. Now it's cost the same. Those for-profit schools are actually kind of expensive. Now some of them are better priced than the big universities. Thank you. And it's like, it's just the whole thing now obviously the big universities have got a little more pull and they took Obama's side and said look these guys are screwing with us. These University of Phoenix guys is the biggest school I think in the country. Exactly.

Barack Obama, Fort Stewart Speech and Michelle Obama

President Obama visited Fort Stewart, Georgia, where he repeated a familiar rhetorical trope about "marrying up" to his wife, Michelle Obama. The segment analyzes the President's use of repetitive greetings as a speaker's trick to avoid misnaming the military base during his address.

barack obama· fort stewart· michelle obama· public speaking

1:25:21 We can't have that. This is our deal. We want government to help us compete. I had to think about that for a second. Yeah, I like that. We want government to help us compete. Good one. Let me roll out one more Obama clip that was just annoying. He went to Fort, was it Fort George, I think? Is that where he went? with Michelle? Yeah, I don't know. It was some middle of nowhere place. I think it was Fort George. Now, whenever the first lady, let me see, was this, let me just see if this is Fort, I think it's Fort Stewart. I'm sorry, Fort Stewart. Whenever the, and we've played clips over and over of him doing this, and I don't understand how, I mean, why this is happening. Is this his only joke? When he gets on after Michelle, what does he say?

1:26:24 What does he say? He always says you gotta marry up, you gotta improve the gene pool, she rocks, she's the best. Well once again, Fort Stewart everybody. Continues. So please join me in welcoming your strongest advocate, your commander in chief, and our president, my husband Barack Obama. Hello Fort Stewart! Hello, hello, hello! Same joke.

1:27:36 Yeah, he does that show constantly. And it still gets a big laugh. I mean, of course, no one there is listening to this show. No, we could probably play it over and over again. He uses a trick that's a speaker's trick, which is interesting. He immediately yells out, hello's Fort Stewart. And then within the two sentences, he says it again. So he doesn't blow it, because that'll put it fresh enough into his brain that he can get through the whole speech without all of a sudden saying Fort Benning or something else. Right. Fort Dix Fort Knox. Hello Fort Knox. Oh Fort Knox. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah And no word of course about Ron Paul not a single report on the six and a half to seven thousand people who attended his rally at University of Texas huge event

CHAPTER 24 / 37 Discussion

FCC Ruling, Political Ad Data Online

The FCC voted 2-1 to require broadcasters to post political advertisement data online, including pricing and airtimes. However, the ruling does not specify a structured data format, allowing stations to submit scanned PDFs that are not easily searchable. This lack of transparency is viewed as a potential tool for the Obama administration to monitor Super PAC spending without providing true public access.

fcc· political ads· broadcasters· transparency· super pacs

1:28:28 Huge of I mean I I could play clips over and over at all No, it wasn't even really covered here in Austin. I watched specifically You know now that he's a Texas native or is a but on the other hand you know he's giving everybody a run for the money He's picking up delegates you can but he wants to talk about it. No of course not oh and by the way the FCC Very interesting ruling on Let me see. Where is it on Friday? Why are you dinging me? What did I do on Friday? What did I do? You ding me

1:29:15 And the broadcasters have been pushing against this but the FCC Commission voted two to one Friday morning to require broadcasters to post political ad data online so the public can see how the 3.2 billion dollars in political ad spending is being placed. Now there's some things they have to provide. They have to provide, let me just bring it up here, the pricing. The times if they refused any ads and why? Hold on a second. Okay, we'll start with the premise that the FCC is in Obama's pocket. So this is somehow to benefit Obama.

1:30:00 and I would suspect is because Obama's not getting the kind of money he expected to get and they're worried sick about all this big PAC money coming in and so they're gonna hold the feet, the network's feet to the fire about certain things like when for example moveon.org notoriously makes these really weird ads and they get bumped, they won't play them, a lot of these networks. Right. And so now that's gonna be a parent. And here's how they're gonna do it because What they didn't say, and this is what the broadcast industry is talking about, which I still track, they didn't talk about, there was no stipulation as to how you submit the information. So apparently, the stations will just hand in printed sheets, which will then be scanned into PDFs, making it non-searchable, you can't put it into a database. And this is going to be a lot, it's going to be,

1:30:51 Remember the Fed documentation that Bloomberg uncovered and it was just reams and reams and reams of data. It'll take until next election in four years to sort through it all. So they'll be cherry-picking as you pointed out. So you know these these a-holes didn't take it. Oh look at all these super PACs. So it'll be used as a tool Instead of the open access which it should be and these broadcasters should be required to put this information out in a structured data format so that independent people Because of course, you know the media won't do it Independent people can go in and search and really get some valuable data from it instead It's just gonna be scanned PDFs that will be not OCR, you know It's just gonna be a picture a JPEG and that's okay says the FCC we don't care Yeah

Harvard Youth Survey, Climate Change and Jobs

A Harvard University survey of young Americans' attitudes toward politics revealed that creating jobs and lowering unemployment are top priorities. Conversely, combating climate change ranked last on the list of concerns for the demographic. Protecting individual liberties and addressing Social Security were found to be of moderate importance to the respondents.

1:31:45 It's gonna be used as a leverage for Obama. Yep. There you go. So one little thing I wanted to just bring in before we go to our segment. Saturday's New York Times. Are you wiping your butt? Just showing that I actually have the paper in front of me by wrinkling it. They had this really interesting, people should look at this, a Charles M. Blow column from Saturday and it's a chart of what It apparently came out of the survey of young Americans attitudes towards politics and the public, then out of Harvard, which is fairly complete. These kids, essentially, what they think is important and what's not important,

1:32:37 I'm gonna name, just as a little test here, I'm gonna name five things and you tell me if you think the kids think this is very, very important or just give me the order. There's about 20 of these things on here but I'm gonna give you the five and you tell me what would be the one that's the most important to them and what's the least important. Hold on. Creating jobs and lowering the unemployment rate. Developing a comprehensive immigration policy, that'll be two. Well, let's do one at a time. Okay, what do you think? Three answers. You get either it's very, very important, it's just in the middle, nobody gives a shit, or it's at the very bottom, they really don't give a crap. Okay, okay, I'm ready. Creating jobs and lowering unemployment. Creating jobs, lowering... I think that's very important. Right. Okay.

1:33:32 We both have a bell. Yeah, I have the buzzer though. Developing a comprehensive immigration policy. Unimportant, no one cares. Right. This is pretty intuitive one. Okay, keep going. Combating the impacts of climate change. Very, extremely important. Ah, ring the horn. This is the last on the list. They have no interest. Oh, well good. There's hope. That was at the bottom. And I'm sure this was highlighted in the report. This is really important. No, no, no. Okay. They just kind of mentioned it here and there. All right, next. Oh yeah, this one here is pretty funny. Let me get the wording down. Protecting individual liberties from government. Completely unimportant. Actually, it's in the middle. Oh, okay. I get half a point.

1:34:26 Yeah, you do get half a point. And finally, creating... well no, I wanted to give that one, that's too easy. Addressing social security. Unimportant. No, in the middle again. Oh, okay. Wow. Alright, well you got the big one, but you missed the climate change one. You should have done climate change at the end. That's the only reason I did that, by the way, is to get the climate change one. I know, that's what I'm saying, you should have done climate change as the fifth one. It would have been funnier. It would have had a punchline you're right it sucked. What did you do you write Kimmel's jokes, too? Yeah, no joking matter of course is I'm gonna show my school by donating to no agenda imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun Synthesizer And of course

No Agenda Producers, Dustin Kekta and Japan

Producer Dustin Kekta contributed from Tokyo, Japan, describing the country as a "Kensian nightmare" and noting that Japanese media is more restrictive than American outlets. Other donations were spurred by a "nostalgia episode" of the Daily Source Code. The hosts discuss the value-for-value model, jokingly attributing recent support to a segment involving urination.

1:35:20 I didn't go to my email to get Bowman's thing. Of course. Because I'm sitting here taking notes on the show. Well, I can start off with that. Okay, let's talk about some of the people who gave us some money to support this show. I'm literally nauseous from this show. This show, for the first time, I'm literally nauseous from... We need something fun. You didn't think... Really? Yeah. Yeah, really. Yeah, really. Oh, come on. You're a dad. Don't you think about your kids growing up in this... Depression? Or you like screw em?

1:35:57 Anyway, okay, by the way, here's Bowman's thing I got while you're mumbling. Please refer to me as WBA1. I found you verbalizing things I've thought about for years. First time contributor 26969. Uh, douche, he wants us to douche, he says douchebag. People gotta know it's douche, dude, I can't even say it now, douche. Douche. D-O-U-C-H-E. All the cheap assholes that will not pay anything for the show. I do this thing like the- Douchebag. Yes, I'd like to get D says deduced. Oh, hey, you've been deduced my friend You've been D deduced and he wants a little car. Okay? Oops. Yeah

1:36:41 Alright, uh, hold on. Don't step on the karma. David Murkowski, Sir David Murkowski in Jackson, Mississippi, without comment, $111.11. Scott Buelin in Monroe, Michigan, $110.20. Let me see if he's got some note that came in. I'm irked about the fact that I missed a couple of these notes when they come in. I sometimes forward them around, but then again. Yes, Scott. Who are you forwarding to? Leo? What are you doing? I give some to JC and you. Anyway, he doesn't have anything in the email box. Anyway, he's been in Rome, Michigan, $110.20. Dustin Kekta in Gilbert, Arizona. I was gonna send you some yen, but transferring money is a pain in the ass over here as everyone carries cash. That's good to know in Tokyo.

1:37:31 He's actually in Japan. I decided to send my donation through my US account instead of the search. Anywho, if you think the media is bad in America, it's far worse over here in Japan. Then again, one could accurately say that Japan is the future of America, a Kensian nightmare of terrible proportions. If it's possible, I'd like to send some karma to my uncle and family back in the States. They are suffering from our American Kensian nightmare. I love the show, but next time I'll donate freely instead of waiting for shame. So, just karma to Uncle. All right, great. Thank you. You've got karma. Nice for my shopping activities. Belgium is good for cheap Burgundy and little cheeses and liquefied gas for my car now selling for $2.88 a gallon for that's not bad. For Europeans that's cheap. I bought a new car in 2012. The Dutch government exempts from paying holders tax until 2014 so far so good. Anyway last Thursday Adam disinterred the Daily Source code. It was more of a nostalgia episode and Adam took us out with him peeing.

1:38:48 He put on his wireless headset and the chuckleheads listened in later. The DSC's value prompted me to look at my NA donation level and that's where I saw my ledger was unbalanced. So here's enough. Okay. So basically last episode also sucked but because of the daily source code and I peed, which shows you the value for value model right there, doesn't it? Because of urination we eat. I'll do another one. You should do it with that laugh more. I can't get to Tom's last name in this $100 donation from Akershoesh. It's all muddy. Stewart? Maybe Stoer? Tom Eric Stoer. Joel Rembach in McKinnon, Victoria. $100. Danny Baker, Morristown, Tennessee. $100. Hans Jorg Schultz.

No Agenda Chicken, Tristan Banning Birthday

Matthew Weed of Toronto requested a birthday shout-out for Tristan Banning and "de-douching" for Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. Another producer, Ben Todman, reported success cooking "No Agenda Chicken" for his family. The segment highlights the community-driven nature of the show's listener base.

No, I just want to get laid, man. That's why I listen to no agenda. Andrew Lemesny, which is the one that he thinks I can't pronounce, Lemesny, how do you pronounce it?

We'll see how legal it is once the feds come stomping around. Hopefully the locals will have some balls. Also, I think I got another line on the bit you did about the tax program for drug dealers. Apparently all dispensaries and such had to file under those rules and got hammered.

1:43:07 Show 403 was one of the best I've heard in some time. With two rants and Adam yelling, I spit on you, Pharma, to top it off. Epic. Everything is dandy here under the shadow of NORAD. We get us our chemtrails about twice a week and pray for wind. If you'd be so kind as to bless me and mine with a Huntsman 2 to the head chemtrails and to the gate, to the gate, to the climate gate overlay, all while John hums the Gitmo Nation- God, the Gitmo National Anthem, I'd be much obliged. If not, I'll take a shot of Karma and John and only John on the slide whistle. So I think we'll opt for option two, because the first one seems very difficult. You've got Karma.

CHAPTER 30 / 37 Discussion

HPV Testing Scam, Hologic and Merck Gardasil

An investigation into the HPV testing industry suggests a "scam" involving the Servista HTA system by Hologic. The claim posits that the automated testing device produces false positives to drive demand for expensive surgical biopsies and Merck's Gardasil vaccine. Hologic reportedly has a financial relationship with Merck, and the hosts are calling for a whistleblower to expose potential insurance fraud within this diagnostic-pharmaceutical alliance.

hpv· gardasil· merck· hologic· servista· biopsy

1:54:34 Who went through the exact same cycle and I think I'm on to something here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is good. Okay, so here's the cycle. A woman goes to the doctor's office. She goes in for a regular pap smear, which means she's being tested primarily for HPV, the human papillomonolo... I can't say it. It's the pre-cancer thing you could get, which by the way is an STD. You can only get it from having sex with somebody, but that's neither here nor there. I don't want to get into the validity of it. And then you go home and then usually just before the weekend or after the weekend, you get a call that says, oh, well, it was kind of inconclusive. You know, this may be precancerous and we really have to do a biopsy. Woman goes back to the doctor's office, has a very uncomfortable procedure where there's and I'm now I'm schooling this stuff because I did a lot of research on Saturday.

1:55:28 But it's not fun. They snip a little piece, they send that off, then you wait for a week, you're freaking out. You don't know who to tell, what not to tell. It's very, very uncomfortable. There's thousands of stories of people like, you know, even getting divorces in this period because you're already stressed. How did I get this? HPV, it's an STD. You must have been cheating on me. All kinds of crazy stuff. And then it turns out, oh, you're negative. You don't have cancer. But you know what? You should really take this Gardasil shot at 400 bucks because that'll protect you in the future. And I have received 11 emails so far. And from our audience, just from our audience in a, what, four day period, three day period? I think that's a pretty high percentage of people saying I had exactly the same thing happen. My aunt, my niece, my mom, my sister, exactly the same. Now, so I went in and said, I've got to find how this is working. And I've stumbled onto some interesting bits that I want to share. And then I have a call out who needs some help. So first article.

1:56:30 Recently approved HPV test may prompt unnecessary surgical biopsies on women because they've changed the way this test works. The HPV test is no longer, you know, like they take some goop, put it on a microscope slide and look at it. No, no. It's all done with a scanner, John. It's done with a medical device. And a new medical device came on the market a couple of years ago. And because there's basically, there's a couple of devices that do this. We have the device from QIAGEN. We have the, who's the other? They have two devices, I'm sorry. But a new one came on the market from Hologix and their device is called Servista. And I read from the FDA

1:57:26 approval notice. The Servista HTA system automates the HPV test providing higher throughput, improved chain of custody and accurate results. And this of course is from the chief executive. So I'm like higher throughput that's interesting so they're really trying to crank it up. And it turns out that Hologix who make this test, which is relatively new and only tests for a couple of HPV strains, there's 400 of them but they only test for two, which of course would be the ones that you need the Gardasil for, they have a very tight relationship with Merck. In fact, Merck has paid them

1:58:11 for placement of some of these devices at doctors offices. Merck, of course, is, you know, Hologic, they do breast cancer scan devices. They're a small company for medical, pharmaceutical, only 700 million a year in revenue, so they're very small compared to Merck. But they have a very, very tight agreement, and in fact, so tight that Merck, Hologic are now going to Africa together to go and scan and shoot. And this is all paid for by the Gavi Alliance.

1:58:50 And the Gavi Alliance, G-A-V-I, is, let me just give you the names of the donors of the Gavi Alliance. Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, the European community, France, Germany, basically everyone including the United States and United Kingdom. And right there, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. So they basically pay for this scam to take place. And I even found an article here, the trend towards disease management is forging alliances between device manufacturers and pharmaceutical houses that may ultimately benefit both the patient and the corporate bottom line. The underlying strategy of these partnerships makes use of diagnostic products to increase demand for drug treatments." This is literally, this is just out there. This is from the pharmaceutical industry literally saying

1:59:43 and this is from the medical device and diagnostics industry website, literally saying, hey, this is so cool because you team up as a drug maker, you team up with the guy who do the tests and then, I mean, there's no possibility for conflict. Could there, John, could there be any possibility for any conflict whatsoever? What do you think? No. So what I was really looking for was of course somewhere, it's probably not in a brochure. I downloaded lots of brochures because what you really want is you want a brochure that says, here's how it works. You bring them in, you run them through the bogus device, then you tell them you got a biopsy, which by the way, once you fail the HPV test,

2:00:27 then your insurance company is looking at $5,000 over the lifespan of your policy. Because then you get, you have to come back and do more tests on a regular basis. Of course, there's the biopsy, which is a thousand bucks right off the bat. And then, boop, there it is, of course, you get your Gardasil, which is a bonanza for everybody. So what I'm looking for, and this is the call out, because I think we had, this is the kind of stuff, we could uncover a huge scam If we could get one whistleblower, one person to say, you know, it really is a scam and it's an insurance fraud is what it is. And it's a way to get the number one selling drug for Merck now, the number one selling drug, this is now reported, which is Gardasil, to get that shot into people who don't need it.

2:01:19 So I'm looking and I've got a lot of stuff from people from in the medical industry. They are sending me emails, but we need a whistleblower, someone who says, yeah, and we'll protect your identity 100%. But we need a whistleblower so we can blow the lid off this thing. Because instead of fighting about the validity of this so-called vaccine, we need to uncover the scam that is being used to sell it to people who don't need it. And by hurting women, because a biopsy is not without risk, hurting women to sell this drug. And the idea that the manufacturer of the test accepts money from the producer of the drug that is provided after the test shows a false positive, in my mind is repulsive.

2:02:17 Well, you're just making accusations based on supposition. They gave them money. They gave them money. It's not a supposition. I just want to give people another option. I'm listening. I want to give people another option in terms of how they want to deal with this. The stock symbol is H-O-L-X. So if you're like worth a lot of money, you can sink the company or you can invest in them and just say, you know, this is just the way it goes because we're not going to get the goods on these guys. So you might as well be get some of your money back. The stock is set up to go up. I'm looking at the charts right now. Oh, really? It's set to go up. So what are you recommending? I wouldn't. Well, I can't recommend people buy stocks because that's illegal. I'm just saying they should look at the stock.

2:03:10 To make money off of it? Well that's the reason you look at stocks. Yeah but how's that going to help expose the fraud? It's not. I'm just saying. I'm assuming we're not going to expose any the fraud because it's too hard to do. Okay we just you know whistleblowers if you haven't noticed not that I'm discouraging whistleblowing The Obama administration has been the absolute worst. It's notorious for not sympathizing with whistleblowers because they are encouraging massive corruption by being this way. And you know, and also cracking down on the marijuana people as pointed out in the correspondence dinner. And because of the conditions out there as we speak,

2:03:53 I would just go along with the program and invest in the company. Okay, so the idea is invest in the company, make a douchebag full of money, and then print some stickers. I like your idea John very good. I'm just giving people the secondary. They are here fighting evil look at the company I'm here fighting evil and And you are like wringing your hands like hey, I curry just gave me a good stock tip. This is great This thing's positioned to go up. I'm gonna make a killing whoo If anybody does make a killing, we would appreciate some kickback. Since they're kicking it back to Merck. Or the other way around. No, I think you're right on to something. It's just a completely corrupt... You pointed out the last show. This is so corrupt and it's true. You shouldn't be just getting biopsies left and right. No.

2:04:49 In fact, there's something... If biopsy is to take a scapel and chunk off a piece of you, I think... Go test it. I think the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group should start doing biopsies. The non-painful biopsy. Yeah. We do check you with our special microscope. Yeah, who buys the stirrups? Anyway, just this just I just want women to know we love you and we're looking out for you and for your daughters and for your mothers and everybody and You know, I've had women in my life go through this. It's very very upsetting. It's mental stress It's huge mental stress. And if it's a scam the people should go to jail for it the Really they really really should and this high high throughput of testing please

2:05:40 And the FDA just, whoop, they just go ahead and approve that. It's shaky at best. No, it's corrupt. It's corrupt. There you go. Yeah, it's corrupt. I mean, if you could find 10 people that have, there's a script, obviously. That was given to doctors. I'd love to get it if I could get my hands on this script. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, I mean that was my first Google's like script for HPV. Right? Yeah, I figured you do that, but they won't have the script on the Internet usually, but there may be something indicated indicative in one of the

2:06:16 10 K's or annual report or something you never know. I mean, I actually, you, you found a, the thing about virus or about vaccines in one of the annual reports on a PowerPoint presentation. Oh, it's on, it's on several of them. I know I listened to the, to the actual conference call of this company with the CEO and the way, so they also, It wasn't really that relevant because it was just like, ah, the business is up 75% on the HPV scanners. There was not much in there because now they're onto the breast scanners. I actually should have clipped it because it's funny. So they have a mammogram machine. But the analysts that call in, so if you've ever heard, we played a couple of these, of these analyst conference calls in the past. And they're like, hey, good quarter guys. Listen, I just got a question about the breast business. So that's what they call it. Yeah, our breast business is doing great. Yeah, we're knocking it out of the park on the breast business. Oh, yi, yi, yi, yi. Yeah. All right. Somebody would give a crap about the public. Hey, what's going on in the Ukraine?

CHAPTER 31 / 37 Discussion

Ukraine, Yulia Tymoshenko Jail and Gas Deal

Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko is serving a seven-year prison sentence and has begun a hunger strike following allegations of physical abuse by prison authorities. Tymoshenko was convicted of abuse of power related to a 2009 gas deal signed with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Protesters in Kiev have marched in support of Tymoshenko as she faces new charges of tax evasion.

2:07:20 I don't know. Are you following this about the ex-prime minister being jailed and beaten? Yeah, well that went on for a while. Well it's going on now even more. Play the clip and then maybe we can get people to start sending us stuff. Hello again, Ukraine's former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko goes on trial for charges of tax evasion later on Saturday. She's already serving a seven year jail sentence after she was convicted of abuse of power last year. Mrs. Timoshenko is refusing to appear in court and has started a hunger strike. She also claims the authorities have beaten her while she's been in prison. Julia is our president was the chant that rang out as thousands marched through the streets of Kiev on Friday. Hmm, so why? The Russians are behind this somehow. But I can't figure out what is the

2:08:18 The goal, besides just keeping this woman locked up, maybe to teach everybody else a lesson if they're not going to play ball. Was she the one that was ahead of the Orange Revolution? Wasn't she the hot one? Well, she doesn't look so hot anymore. She's beaten up. Wow. You know what? We do have listeners who have connections to Ukraine, so plea to, and it's Ukraine, not the, but just Ukraine. Please send us stuff. Now this is what the show is good at and put it on NoahJenTheNewsNetwork.com. Well actually she was like busted because she was too cozy with the Russians apparently. Well I'm sure this has, they were turning off gas and it all has to do with energy. Well let me take a look at the map, hold on a second. Where exactly is, is it, oh wait a minute, isn't Ukraine right next to Georgia?

2:09:09 Yeah, I think so. Yeah, okay. I got you. So there's something going on there because Georgia now has their own drones. We sold them some drones. Let me see. Ukraine. They say that she was in bed with the Russians and that she was gonna let the Russians sell gas into the Ukraine at a higher than normal price, which really doesn't make any sense. It may have to do with it could be a pipeline thing. Where is Georgia? I can't find Georgia Well, maybe Georgia's Georgia's south of the Ukraine wherever the Ukraine is Yeah, Ukraine and then yeah, cuz that's the maybe it's not butted up against it. I'm not sure I don't have a map Hmm. Well that warrants some exploration for sure. I mean, it's all near the Black Sea and

MI6 Death Inquest, Gareth Williams Body in Bag

An inquest into the death of MI6 officer Gareth Williams heard testimony that it would be "almost impossible" for him to have locked himself inside the sports bag where his body was found. Williams was discovered in a padlocked holdall in his bathtub in London two years ago. The investigation continues to explore whether the intelligence officer was placed there by a third party.

mi6· gareth williams· inquest· london· intelligence officer

2:10:04 There's something up. Yeah, because this is getting a lot way too much coverage. There's two news stories that caught my attention there's that one and then the The weirdest one is the mi6 guy you heard about this one. Yeah, this is a two-year-old story The guy who wound up in a body bag and no it was a duffel bag Play the story eggs for the background all right The inquest into the death of an MI6 officer has heard that it would have been almost impossible for him to lock himself inside a sports bag. The body of Gareth Williams was discovered in a padlocked holdall in his bath in August two years ago. Our security correspondent Gordon Carrera reports. Gareth Williams, the intelligence officer found in a bag. For days the inquest has been tracing his final movements. A central question, did he get inside the bag himself or was he put there?

2:10:58 Hold on I gotta get in this bag and kill myself. You know this is the new way for tea to the head of bagman before but this takes the cake everybody Now this has been going on for a while Robert leather one of our producers in the UK has been I mean It's it's one of those stories that there's so much going on and you know He was mi6 and he had gay and there's you know There's all kinds of gay sex toys and all kinds of weird stuff covering it all up by the way Thank You mr. Oil I have the what's going on with Ukraine. Ukraine, XPM, Yulia Chomyshenko, who was the hot one, who looked like Princess Leia, with her hair all braided up, she was jailed over a gas deal.

2:11:46 So it is indeed, hold on a second, here's the, this is an old report from the BBC, they'll probably be able to tell us exactly what happened here. Oh, it's a little advertisement. So a judge ruled the ex-Prime Minister had criminally exceeded her powers when she signed a gas deal with the Russians in 2009 and was about taxes and... Here, Vladimir Putin signed the deal, here we go. Here's the BBC report. Will tell us nothing, but at least we'll get an idea of what... Here's what it's not. Whatever the BBC says is probably not the truth. And their Flash player blows chunks. I guess it's not gonna play. Is it gonna play? They're listening and it turned it off. Like, don't let him, don't let him play that man! Don't let him play that!

2:12:41 Here's what Mr. Oil says. The EU has sent out warnings beforehand saying that if there was a guilty conviction, that they couldn't guarantee that an agreement that's being negotiated right now would be ratified. But once the sentence was handed down, Catherine Ashland, the EU foreign policy head, said that it would have profound implications for the EU-Ukrainian relations. And there was round criticism from other other capitals as well including Russia Which said that they spotted an anti-russian subtext in this in this sentence because obviously this was an attack on the deal that was signed back in 2009. Okay, here's the deal So she remediated the deal to let the gas flow back to the European Union from Russia but what she did is she she pissed off the new president because he was getting kickbacks and

Twitter Racial Slurs, Boston Bruins and Hillary Clinton

Following a game-winning goal by Washington Capitals player Joel Ward, Boston Bruins fans reportedly circulated racial slurs on Twitter. This incident is discussed alongside a meeting between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Twitter CEO Dick Costolo. A prediction is made that future civil unrest, such as in the Trayvon Martin case, may be intentionally triggered by anonymous racial slurs on social media.

twitter· boston bruins· joel ward· dick costolo· hillary clinton

2:13:33 So basically she's a whistleblower, I guess is how we would put it. And that's why she got thrown in jail. That would make sense. Yeah. So that's why they keep beating her. She's jailed for seven years. Right. Now they just threw another charge at her. Yeah. A tax evasion. So she's in jail. Yeah. And you're evading taxes. Stay in there longer. So they're beating her up. I have a little prediction for the Red Book if you'd like one. Yeah. So there was a picture of Clippity-Clop Lucifer Hillary Clinton with Twitter CEO Dick Costolo. And you gotta wonder, why is he there? Why does he have to talk to Hillary other than, I don't know, because she wants to do something with Twitter perhaps?

2:14:33 So I'm thinking as we're observing the race riots, the forthcoming race riots which we believe will happen. I don't know if you saw yesterday, actually CNN was running video and interviewing the videographers on the 20th anniversary of the LA riots from 1992. So the images are being put into our mind and they're not even really, it's just the whole thing is racially motivated. I think I know how they're going to kickstart this and it all fits together. Did you hear about this, all this Twitter stuff about the racial slurs regarding the Bruins? No, I missed that.

2:15:22 Season-ending goal spurs a barrage of hate is the title. I mean, I only caught this just by chance because it caught my eye Pioneers of racial tolerance and sports the Boston Bruins blah blah blah They had Jackie Robbins Willie O'Reid the Jackie Robinson of hockey yet They found themselves Thursday addressing hateful racist commentary circulated by Bruins fans and others on social media after Joel Ward a black forward for the Washington Capitals scored the winning goal in overtime and Apparently people started tweeting racial slurs and then I'm like wait a minute Costolo's hanging out with Hillary who's in charge of all the techno experts. Here's what'll happen We're gonna have this Zimmerman Trayvon Martin case and it's going to be triggered by racial tweets That's what's gonna trigger it. I like that put it in the red book. I'm putting it in the red book that I think is what's gonna happen and

2:16:26 And it would make so much sense because you could do that anonymously. You can just be some dude, some douche at the State Department or wherever, and like, hey, let's crank this shit up, boy! It's perfect for that. If it was enough to get like a whole article in Boston.com and people freaking out about it, I think this would be good. And this might have been a little test run to see how it worked. Yeah, it could be. Glad you like it. Alright, well I'm glad now you just, that's great we're just wrapping up the show a little depressing news at the end. Oh but let me give you some fun things then. I got two fun ones in a row. Well okay I got one kind of, well maybe I should do mine first then. Okay go ahead what you got? This is this is just a kind of a yeah ask the question in general but

Alameda County SWAT, Warrior Competition in Jordan

Members of the Alameda County Sheriff's SWAT team traveled to Jordan to participate in the "Warrior Competition," an international elite tactical contest. The team is reportedly the only US law enforcement unit in the competition, which includes counter-terrorism units from around the world. Questions are raised regarding the funding and necessity of sending local California police to the Middle East for such an event.

alameda county· swat· jordan· warrior competition· oakland

2:17:24 What comes to mind when you hear this clip about the Alameda County SWAT team? Okay, I don't know. Members of the Alameda County Sheriff's SWAT team are set to take part in an elite international competition this weekend being held in the Middle East. 11 members of the team will be going up against some of the best in the world in the fourth edition of the Warrior competition. Previous winners include a US Marine unit and Austria's top counterterrorism tactical unit. The Alameda County team appears to be the only US law enforcement team in that competition which is being held in Jordan. In Jordan? So there's a couple, a bunch of questions come to mind, of course they just go on with the next story. One, why are we sending an Alameda County team and who's paying for this? I don't know if you've been to Jordan.

2:18:15 Not recently it's not the cheapest place in the world to get to know in the first place It's cost thousands of dollars to get there and they get back literally and And they're sending these guys there. What's what kind of competition is there they paintball? I mean, what are they doing? Is it a paintball game? I mean, I have no idea are they killing each other. That'd be kind of interesting warrior competition I like it. And how many of these areas, when Alameda County's got Oakland, Oakland has a SWAT team. Alameda County has Berkeley, Berkeley's got a SWAT team. Yeah. Alameda County's got Alameda. Alameda County, why do we need all these SWAT teams in one little area, one community for, and then especially when they're not even going to be around for the next few weeks because they're going to be in Jordan living it up? It's an away game.

Joe Biden, Big Stick Joke and Meth Lab in Pants

Vice President Joe Biden made an unintentional double entendre while referencing Teddy Roosevelt's "big stick" policy during a speech. In a separate news item from Oklahoma, a man was arrested after a "one-pot" meth lab hidden in his pants burst during a struggle with police. The chemical mixture, contained in a soda bottle, caused burns to the suspect's body.

joe biden· teddy roosevelt· oklahoma· meth lab· tulsa

2:19:02 I don't know. It's like, I guess I guess I have somebody I would like somebody in a SWAT team that listens to the show to tell me what's going on. I guess they have no false flag events planned. Like what's on the schedule? Do we have to go kill kick someone's ass? No boss, not this week. Now let's go to Jordan. That's all I can think of. It was just brought up more questions than answers. I just thought I'd clip it. I like it. So in case you hadn't heard it, Joe O'Biden, made a pretty funny joke without actually thinking that he made a joke. No, the big, yeah. Yeah, I like that one. For those of you who haven't heard it, this is pretty good. The international coalition we've built, now is the time to heed the timeless advice from Teddy Roosevelt. Speak softly and carry a big stick. End of quote. I promise you, the president has a big stick. I promise you. He doesn't understand he's just made a joke. Everyone's laughing. No, he's an idiot.

2:20:01 Yeah, that would sum it up. Here's a better one though. This one I liked a lot. A big trouble and even bigger danger for the man you see sitting here in handcuffs on the side of an Oklahoma road. David Williams was a passenger in a car pulled over south of Tulsa early today. When a trooper asked him about an odd chemical smell, Williams took off running. And that's when things got very interesting. After a brief struggle, It was determined that there was a meth lab, active meth lab in his pants that burst during the struggle and got all over his body. He had an active meth lab in his pants, John. Oh, brother. I'm like, what? When I think meth lab, I'm thinking there's a house with tubes and everything running. I'm like, what exactly is a meth lab? Well, there's an explanation.

2:20:56 Yep, he had a meth lab in his pants. The contents were in this pop bottle. I got meth lab in my pants. When the ingredients are combined, the pressure builds up and the mixture can be highly explosive. So it's literally like a pop bottle. I thought it was hard to make meth, but apparently you can just throw some crap into a bottle, shake it, and you got meth. Oh, there's a new technique that somebody came up with that, where essentially that is true. Yeah, but to specify that as a meth lab is a little bit of a stretch. Yeah, you mean a coke bob? Yeah. Hey, John, is that a meth lab in your pants? Are you just happy to see me? Yeah, I don't know, but I'm gonna blow. And then this is the this is the clip of the week. In fact, I'm going to line it up because you're going to want to give it to me. This is I think it was the BBC. Let me see. Yes, this is the BBC. And they have on a minister of parliament from Australia.

Bill Shorten, Sky News Interview on Peter Slipper

Australian Member of Parliament Bill Shorten was criticized for a Sky News interview in which he refused to express a personal opinion on Speaker Peter Slipper's sexual harassment allegations. Shorten repeatedly stated that his view was identical to Prime Minister Julia Gillard's, despite admitting he did not know what her specific comments were at the time.

bill shorten· sky news· peter slipper· julia gillard· australia

2:21:55 and his name is Bill Shorten. I'm sorry this is Sky News. Sky? Oh, it's actually good that it was Sky. And um... I mean, this is actually the press doing their job. I mean, I can't even explain the clip, you just gotta listen to it. Thanks for your time. Just picking up on Peter Slipher, before we get to the Health Services Union, can I ask you, do you think he should return to the Speaker's chair while these civil claims are still being played out? I understand that the Prime Minister's addressed this in a press conference in Turkey in the last few hours. I haven't seen what she said, but let me say I support what it is that she said. Hang on, you haven't seen what she said? But I support what my Prime Minister said, so... Well, what's your view? My view is what the Prime Minister's view is. Surely you must have your own view on this, Bill Shorten.

2:22:48 No, when you ask if I've got my view on this, that's such a general question it invites me to go to lots of places. Well, it's a specific question as to whether Peter Slipper should return as Speaker of your Parliament while he's facing civil claims of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is an incredibly serious matter. There should be no tolerance for sexual harassment. That's my view. On the other hand, these matters have yet to be established and I support what our Prime Minister has said. But you don't know what that is? I'm sure she's right. Wow. Play it. Yeah, thank you Wow, he's like I'm sure she's right. I mean could you have your nose any further up your a-hole? I mean really well, that's kind of like when we play the end of show clip with Kimmel he calls out your buddy the press secretary

China South Sudan Loan, Syria Weapons Seizure

China has pledged an $8 billion loan to South Sudan, a move seen as a strategic challenge to Western influence over the region's oil pipelines. Meanwhile, Lebanese authorities seized a ship carrying weapons allegedly bound for Syrian rebels. The show concludes with a clip from Jimmy Kimmel's Correspondents' Dinner routine mocking White House Press Secretary Jay Carney and the "three Hillary Rosens" gaffe.

china· south sudan· syria· lebanon· jimmy kimmel

2:23:45 The Hillary Rosen gaffe yeah, yeah that he knows that he knows three of them or whatever yeah, yeah Yeah, that's the same thing same kind of a-hole. Yeah, I just you know just like yeah I don't you know whatever I know what she said what the guy should have done was was Put some words in her mouth and said he did well. She said this this and this which is all bogus yeah, and then he would agree with it Well, all right, but it was still for Sky News. I have to say that was pretty good. That was very funny. Yeah, just a few quick things just as we get out of here. So Gillard, that very same Gillard who has this guy's nose up her butt, she's already making I don't know why she's being involved, but she says if the UN observers that doesn't work in Syria, we got to go kick their ass.

2:24:37 She's on board with the French for some reason. Then of course there were weapons bound for Syria seized on a ship. In Lebanon, I told you Lebanon had something to do with it. Yeah, this, this, yeah, I know about this. This is interesting. I don't know what to make of it. Well, Lebanon's on the list. We know that. So it may be that they're going to say Lebanon is trying to supply weapons or I don't know, but you know, a ship. We'll get it. And these aren't just people. Remember, it started the same way as Libya. It started with people protesting in the streets. Then it was rebel fighters.

2:25:14 So now it's like these protesters all of a sudden they're getting big ship loads from Lebanon? They came from Egypt? And here's the one that's the most disturbing. China has decided to lend South Sudan 8 billion dollars. The game is on my friends. The Chinas are not just going to let America and the Seven Sisters come in and muscle their way into that pipeline. They're just saying, they're not having it. And they're putting their money where their mouth is. Eight billion dollars. This is a big deal, which is going completely unreported. But this is huge. And where's Clooney? He's at the correspondence dinner. Exactly. I knew it was something like that.

2:26:03 And why was he there? I don't know. Yeah. Well, I know why but... Yeah, to get laid, of course. Why else would you be there? All right, once again we've rammed two and a half hours of completely depressing crap through your throat. Hope you enjoyed that. I know you're here for it. Let me just play us out for a second here with our new invention that will make us rich. Now I just have to...

2:26:48 Work on the minute through that did auto-tune or something work on the musicality of it all But the synth slide is there all right synthus light. I like the name too. We're gonna be rich rich rich rich I tell you All right, everybody, thank you so much for supporting the program. Dvorak.org slash NA will wind it up with the Jimmy Kimmel end of show clip as promised. Coming to you from Austin, Tejas, the capital of the drone star state in the morning, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where it's nice out, I'm John C. Dvorak. We'll be back on Thursday with another jam-packed, depressing episode of No Agenda.

2:27:37 People are still upset with Rush for comments he made about Sandra Fluke, but you know what? There's a reason Mr. Limbaugh said what he said, and that reason is Percocet. And by the way, just to clear things up for the extreme right-wingers, here's the difference between Bill Maher and Rush Limbaugh. The people who watch Bill Maher know he's an asshole. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney is with us. Hello, Jay. Jay is, as you know, not only his press secretary, he, you also know him as the white guy from every LensCrafters commercial. One of Jay's jobs is to keep track of all the Hilary Rosens. For those of you who aren't familiar with this story, Kim, Lindsay, etc.

2:28:27 Hillary Rosen is the woman who said Ann Romney never worked a day in her life, even though Mrs. Romney raised five kids. And of course, the administration tried to distance itself from those comments. They said she's not an advisor to the Obama campaign, even though as we later found out, her name appeared on the White House visitor log 35 times. So when reporters ask Jay why her name showed up 35 times, this is where it gets hilarious. He said he wasn't sure it was the same Hillary Rosen. He said, I personally know three Hillary Rosens. You personally know three Hillary Rosens? Where did all these Hillary Rosens come from? Did you pick them in the Hillary Rosen garden? I bet you $10,000 you don't know three Hillary Rosens, but I'm not running for president, so. Three Hillarys? That sounds like President Clinton's worst nightmare.

2:29:23 Mr. President, you remember when the country rallied around you in hopes of a better tomorrow? That was hilarious. That was the best one yet.
