About this episode

President Barack Obama marked the Newtown anniversary with an address utilizing specific linguistic framing to label gun violence an epidemic, despite statistical data showing a long-term decline in violent crime. Senate leadership continues to push for universal background checks and a renewed ban on military-style assault weapons, while Vice President Joe Biden faces scrutiny for his contradictory self-defense advice regarding shotguns versus rifles. These legislative efforts coincide with a coordinated media push to expand mental health screenings and involuntary commitment laws.

Washington State Representative Tammy Green has proposed lowering the threshold for involuntary detention to include those deemed potentially dangerous, a move critics label as pre-crime enforcement. Simultaneously, the University of Cambridge and USA Today have advocated for annual mental health screenings, even as reports surface regarding violent ideation linked to psychiatric drugs like Chantix and Cymbalta. In the financial sector, the European Central Bank issued a final ultimatum to Cyprus over a proposed deposit raid, while Russia secured a massive natural gas deal with China to bypass European energy leverage. In the United States, the Senate passed a massive budget resolution during a 3:00 AM vote-a-rama that included controversial amendments on voter ID and internet sales taxes.

This session features a deep dive into the Orwellian Giant Voice System used for mass notification at the Quantico Marine Corps Base and a critique of Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s prediction of inevitable drone surveillance over New York City. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak also explore the curious case of the Ohio prosecutor who jokingly indicted Punxsutawney Phil for fraud after a record-breaking cold snap contradicted global warming predictions. The hosts acknowledge Sir David Killian for his landmark contribution as the show approaches its 500th episode milestone.

World Tuberculosis Day, Affordable Care Act Third Anniversary

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the session by noting Greek Independence Day and World Tuberculosis Day on March 24, 2013. They critique the third anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, dismissing President Barack Obama's claims regarding its affordability. The discussion touches on the low viewership of the President's official video podcast.

00:00 Uh, hit it. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore Act. It's Sunday, March 24th, 2013. Time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 4, 9, or 8. This is no agenda. Enjoying the new Ice Age here at the Travis Heights Hideout where SoCo meets MoFo in the capital of the drone star state in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from hazy, hazy northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. DeVore. Crackpot and buzzkill. Sorry, I kind of stepped on your Dvorak there. I noticed that. Well, it's because you went, I'm John C. Mmm Dvorak. You're doing like a new Dvorak thing. Yeah, well, you know, you have to be your trigger. You're obviously got a trigger, uh, itchy trigger finger. No. Well, I, you know, I have to anticipate the same way you have to anticipate. Well, whatever. Yeah. Anyway, let me just say, John, happy Greek independence day.

00:58 Yeah, happy Greek Independence Day to you and all the people out there. Hey, wait, but wait, but wait. Happy World Tuberculosis Day. Oh, how about that? Yeah. So everyone should be happy about tuberculosis? Yes. And happy third anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. You never know. This hasn't been more affordable. Well, not according to the statement by El Presidente. He's full of crap. I watched his show again this morning. We probably should play it. Actually, let's do it right now. So he has a podcast, The President. Yeah. Which is, what is it called? It's just a clip from his video thing, right? It's not separate.

01:44 Uh, well, it's his video thing. It's a video podcast. Oh yeah, I thought you meant an audio podcast. No, whoa, you can also subscribe to it as an audio podcast. Right, but it's just a video podcast in audio. Yeah, correct. Just the audio track. Yes, correct, correct. Of the video podcast. Yes, it is not a specifically produced, but it's a podcast nonetheless because it has about the same audience as most podcasts, which is nothing. Right. No one watches this except me. Yes, their audience is extremely low.

CHAPTER 02 / 38 Discussion

Obama Newtown Anniversary Address, Gun Violence Epidemic Claims

An analysis of President Obama's address marking three months since the Newtown shooting highlights the use of "mind code" and controlling language. The narrative challenges the President's description of gun violence as an "epidemic," citing statistical data that suggests gun violence rates have actually decreased. The segment questions the emotional framing used to justify legislative changes.

barack obama· newtown· gun violence· epidemic· mind code· statistics

02:20 And so, of course, as we do every single Sunday, as Miss Mickey has made the lucky no agenda pancakes, and we're sitting at the table, and this is the only day, by the way, Thursdays and Sundays I'm allowed to have the laptop on the breakfast table, because it's kind of rude. I thought you had a studio? No, but for prepping, I have the laptop while we're eating. Oh, for prepping. Yeah, I'm allowed to prep while we eat. and uh... and and how does the president usually start hyle hitler he says hi everybody but he didn't start like this and mickey immediately goes someone told him it's like dude it's getting a little obvious this whole hyle everybody thing it's now been three months since the tragic events in newtown connecticut now i want you to listen to what he's saying in this report because there's so many uh...

03:14 Words that we identify as you know as controlling and mind code and And and terms that are bogus. It's it just boggled my mind But it does lead into something that I have discovered that as well We've already discovered it, but now I have absolute proof as to what's going on I think it's important But this is I think we just have to listen to this to pick up on the little code words three Three months since we lost 20 innocent children and six dedicated adults who had so much left to give. By the way, do you hear the horrible audio on this thing? It's like they got a generator running at the White House. Three months since we, as Americans, began asking ourselves if we're really doing enough to protect our communities and keep our children safe. Did we ask ourselves that? Maybe somebody did.

04:07 I'm surprised he's not talking about NCAA brackets. Yeah, well we are. That video I skipped. But yeah, we have that video too if you want to see him do the brackets. ...a loved one on that terrible day. Three months doesn't even begin to ease the pain they're feeling right now. It doesn't come close to mending the wounds that may never fully heal. May never? Of course they'll never fully heal. As a nation, the last three months have changed us. Oh, okay. This is very important, John. the need to be of change is a nation in the last three months before so stay was there a memo on this yes you can get answers to difficult questions about what we can do what we must do to prevent the kinds of massacres we've seen in newtown and aurora and oak creek and uh... afghanistan and iraq and pakistan on sorry as well as the everyday tragedies that happen far too often in big cities and small towns all across america

05:07 Today there's still genuine disagreement among well-meaning people about what steps we should take to reduce the epidemic of gun violence. I didn't see any epidemic. How do we define an epidemic of gun violence? Didn't we have a clip recently of someone doing the statistical analysis? It's gone down! Yes, it's gone down. So there's no epidemic, it's just the opposite. But yet it's deemed an epidemic, like swine flu was an epidemic or... I think these are very weighty words that have just been thrown out rather callously.

CHAPTER 03 / 38 Discussion

Senate Gun Control Legislation, Mental Health Restrictions

The Senate's advancement of a bill targeting gun access for criminals and the mentally ill is examined. The discussion critiques the "9 out of 10 Americans" polling data often cited by the administration, suggesting the questions are framed to elicit specific responses. Proposed measures include a crackdown on straw purchases and a renewed ban on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

05:53 But you, the American people, have spoken. That's right. I forgot, what did you say, John? I didn't say anything. I was watching basketball. You've made it clear that it's time to do something. And over the last few weeks, senators here in Washington have listened and taken some big steps forward. Two weeks ago, the Senate advanced a bill that would make it harder for criminals and people with severe mental illness. Okay, whoa, hold on a second. The Senate has advanced a bill that would make it harder for criminals, so clearly it's easy for criminals, or it's hard but not harder, and people with mental illness. Now this is the... Don't most criminals buy their guns through a gun underground network? You know, like the one run by the Justice Department? Yeah, in Mexico, that one?

06:42 Weeks ago, the Senate advanced a bill that would make it harder for criminals and people with severe mental illness from getting their hands on a gun. So you're right about that. I can the criminals are like, oh man, I made harder. But it's going to be harder. They don't buy from a store. But I mean, a hardcore criminal, a street gangster does not wander into big five sporting goods and say, hey, I'd like to get myself a piece. Now, Correct. But it's about the mentally ill thing. That's what I want to focus on here. So let's listen. An idea supported by 9 out of 10 Americans. Oh! What? He's a doctor? Dentist. I think he meant... 9 out of 10 Americans support this bill. Wow. I mean, we should go on the street.

07:32 But you know what? I'm pretty sure that if you ask the question correctly, and the question is, don't you think, that's how you ask the question, don't you think that we should prohibit people with mental illness from having guns? And I think you're right, nine out of ten people will say, absolutely, I don't want some crazy guy with a gun. You could put it better than that. Don't you think that a homicidal maniac who is certifiably mentally ill and a danger to society should not have a gun? Yeah, but that is not the question because that's not what they're really shooting for. They're going for a very different level of insane. Including a majority of gun owners.

08:12 Oh, a majority of gun owners. Was it not? Well, they're all insane too. Yeah, of course. The Senate also made progress on a bill that would crack down on anyone who buys a gun as part of a scheme. Did he say crank down? Crack down. Okay. Crack down, crack down. Scheme to funnel it to criminals, reducing violent crime and protecting our law enforcement officers. Finally, the Senate took steps to reinstate and strengthen a ban on the sale of military-style assault weapons. That's a noun, but the assault is an adjective. Am I right on that? I don't know. Keep playing. Well, it's important because military style...

09:05 You know, it doesn't mean it's a military weapon. It means... No, no, it's a cheap trick. It's like a toy can also be a military style toy. Yeah, I have a military style BB gun. Yeah, exactly. Set a 10-round limit for magazines and make our schools safer places for kids to learn and to grow. Okay. These ideas shouldn't be controversial. Here it comes. They're common sense. They're supported by a majority of the American people. Okay, majority of the American people, common sense, shouldn't be difficult. And of course, supported by mayors against guns, or I think it's mayors against illegal guns. Joe Biden put the top of his head back on and went off to New York City and here was Mayor Bloomberg.

CHAPTER 04 / 38 Discussion

Michael Bloomberg, Private Gun Sale Background Checks

Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Vice President Joe Biden are identified as key figures pushing for universal background checks, including for private sales. The discussion characterizes these efforts as a coordinated attempt to increase government control over citizens. Polling data from Frank Luntz is mentioned to show the perceived consensus among gun owners regarding criminal background checks.

michael bloomberg· joe biden· background checks· private sales· gun ownership

09:48 And it starts to become clear what this is really about because as you know, or most people will know, there's a big fracas here because they pulled out the outright banning of military-style assault weapons of the proposed legislation. And it's like, oh, they're only leaving a few things in, but it really is about the insanity. 89% of likely voters approve of background checks for all gun sales. And 86% of voters approve such background checks in polls in a national cross-section of 21 states. And that's in line with other recent polls that have found that more than 90% of Americans

10:29 support background checks for all gun buyers. Okay, now it's important that you hear all gun buyers. In other words, John, it would become illegal if I come to, no, let's just say you happen to be here in Austin, Texas, and you say, wow, that's a nice looking gun you got there. And I say, yeah, you want to buy it? And he'll be like, yeah. I was like, OK, $50. And if you give me $50 and I give you that gun, that will be an illegal transaction. I have to call the federal authorities and do a background check to make sure you're not insane.

11:09 And polling overseen by Republican Frank Luntz has found that 82% of gun owners, including 74% of National Rifle Association members, support requiring criminal background checks for anyone purchasing a gun. There's no real debate among the American people. Oh, no, not at all. No debate going on here. No debate happening. Around the country, Americans understand that requiring a background check for every gun sale is just good common sense. It's just good common sense. And some states are taking action, including New York, thanks to Governor Cuomo, and Colorado, thanks to Governor Hickenlooper, have seen such terrible mass murders. Terrible! And in Connecticut, Governor Malloy has proposed, and legislators appear prepared to act on firearm safety reforms as well. They include making private gun sales subject to background checks. There you go. So private

12:07 gun sales private just private limiting the size of high-capacity ammunition magazines and strengthening anti-gun trafficking measures so what happens is you know so this is obviously a coordinated effort we have the president with his little show the vice president goes to Bloomberg who will do anything to control the slaves of America because he gets off on it by the way he's He's short. Oh yeah, he's a midget. Is there like an entry on the Wikipedia for his height? Because he's like half of Biden's height. He is, I believe, about 5'2". Maybe. Wow. So of course this happens, but then a memo goes out and this is pretty much the essence of this program, is to show you how the system works. So the memo has to go to everybody's telescreens and I happen to focus my YAGI antenna on Washington State.

CHAPTER 05 / 38 Discussion

Washington State Involuntary Commitment Law, Representative Tammy Green

Washington State Representative Tammy Green, a mental health nurse, proposes strengthening involuntary commitment laws to include individuals deemed "potentially dangerous." The segment reviews the 2012 Seattle Cafe Racer shooting as a catalyst for this legislation. Concerns are raised that such laws could lead to "pre-crime" detentions based on subjective behavioral signs reported by family members.

washington state· tammy green· involuntary commitment· mental health· cafe racer shooting

13:00 And this is how these measures are being interpreted and rebroadcast to the human resources who must comprehend what is happening. What is so frustrating for people is that after many of these mass shootings, we discover that the perpetrator had this history of serious mental problems and that family and friends even tried to intervene and get them evaluated or committed only to find that they didn't meet the legal requirement. That today a bill was debated that tries to do something about this very problem. So, ha ha ha. Here we go, everybody. We need to have legislation that makes it easier for your friends and family to lock you up and deem you insane. And this report is very interesting, as you will hear from an actual family who had their son committed a murder. But if you hear all the warning signs, you will be very, very disturbed.

14:00 I have to be literally a dangerous person right now. This is one of your fine legislators in Washington state. Be detained. Representative Tammy Green favors strengthening the state's involuntary commitment law to include potentially dangerous as well. Potentially dangerous, John. Expansion allows the decision maker to say, wait a minute, we see this pattern happening again. Free crime. And the family has told us this has happened again and we have history this has happened. This green is herself a mental health nurse. Every day when I work I see someone who didn't get the help they needed until it was a little too late and if we catch it early then we don't have the naked guy running down the street with a gun. Oh the naked guy, not the naked guy running down the street with a gun again.

14:47 By the way, if you are the naked... That meme hasn't been around for a couple years. However, if you are the naked guy running down the street with a gun, I think it may be time to seek some professional help. But I'm not quite sure how, you know, you can assess that someone is potentially dangerous. After last year's deadly rampage at Seattle's Cafe Racer, which left five innocents dead, the gunman's father... Notice they say innocence? Which is another military term. I like that. Yeah, you like that? So we're like innocents. Isn't that what they say when I was in Iraq? It's like, oh yeah, two innocents were killed. But that usually means people of an unoccupied country.

15:33 I wonder if these five innocents were brown colored. Five innocents dead, the gunman's father talked about seeing dangerous signs in his son. Dangerous signs! Are you ready? You might want to write this down. Hello, chat room in particular, write this down. We heard things like, the army's out to get my memory. He had foamed at the mouth and had these rants about the world. Whoa! I'm telling you. Every person who listens to this podcast, you are now officially potentially dangerous and soon to be the naked guy running down the street with a gun. And how it ought to be. How it ought to be! And they were not easy to listen to, but they weren't. I'm going to go over there and kill those people. So many times you hear families saying, we tried to get help, we couldn't get help, we knew this was coming, but they didn't meet the law. I haven't heard that once.

CHAPTER 06 / 38 Discussion

Anne-Marie Timmons, Mental Health Disorder Statistics

Reporter Anne-Marie Timmons of the Concord Monitor is discussed following her article claiming 26% of New Hampshire residents have a mental health disorder. Timmons publicly shared her own history of "suicidal ideation" to support the statistic. The segment suggests this is part of a broader media push coinciding with the release of the DSM-5 to pathologize normal behavior and restrict rights.

anne-marie timmons· concord monitor· mental health· suicidal ideation· dsm-5

16:31 I haven't heard that once. Have you ever seen an interview where someone said, well, you know, my son who... Here we go. How about the Joker in Colorado? Where's his family saying, oh, we saw all the signs. We couldn't get help. Quite the opposite. He sent an entire book to his psychiatrist. He was in an actual psychiatry program studying his brain at the university. The most recent guy that Degout shot a couple people, he He was described as a really nice guy, but a loner. Yeah. He wasn't described as somebody he could help for, he was just a loner. A loner. Although by the way, it was his parents who described him as a loner, which I thought was a little odd. That's a little sad. So this is a new war on crazy. That's really what this is. And I tried to get a clip, I didn't have enough time. Just as we were going to start the broadcast, as it were,

17:32 a reporter from the Hartford... Oh, what is the name of that thing? It's the Hartford Current, I think? Yeah, that's a paper. Which by the way, their logo is a big I. A big all seeing... Oh yeah. Yeah, in a triangle, I'm telling you. Yeah, Hartford Current. You gotta see this. C-O-U-R-A-N-T, I believe. Yes, I believe so. Hartford Current. Kurant. Hartford Kurant. I saw the page. No, no I. I'll find it for you. So one of their reporters has now come clean with a, hold on, I think I have the... But the big news in Connecticut is that their women's basketball team, the University of Connecticut, mows down Idaho 105 to 37, proving that women's basketball is a farce.

18:32 It's the Concord Monitor. Oh, the Concord Monitor. Well, that would be... So, look at the Concord Monitor and Anne-Marie Timmons says here, after the Monitor's mental health series, In Crisis, was published last week, I got one reaction more than any other. I got no eyeball on here. Well, let me just finish. That's such a minor story. Readers were surprised, some unconvinced, that 26% of New Hampshire's residents have a mental health disorder. The statistic appeared in the second story of the series and came from a 2010 study, blah blah blah blah. Didn't 26% seem high? A caller asked me last week. Not to me, because I'm one of the 26%. This woman is all over the news today. I have been hospitalized twice for suicidal ideation. What's this woman's name? I can look it up.

19:33 Annmarie Timmons, T-I-M-M-I-N-S. Annmarie Timmons, suicidal ideation. Most recently for... Has she said that? Yes. She used that word? Suicidal ideation apparently is something that you can be hostile... Yeah, but who would say it? Well, she did. So the whole point is you're going to see more and more of this mental health stuff. Is this the woman that's playing the... Is this... Hold on a second. Is this an old woman? Um, no, she's not, no, she's kind of young. There's another Anne-Marie Timmons who apparently plays the accordion and... No, it's not, she doesn't, no, it's not the... She's in Kansas City, never mind, it's different. No, she's, actually, she's quite pretty looking.

20:22 Is this the woman that's Annmarie Timo on Twitter? No. Annmarie Timmons. I know, but her name is Annmarie Timmons, but her Twitter handle is Annmarie Timo. I have no idea. She's cute. She has only 7 followers, so it looks like a scam. 7 followers. Yeah, but so she is she the Anne-Marie Tommy and Marie Timmons are there in the world's I never heard of such a name Yeah, she's one on my space I Don't know who cares. I mean the point is maybe we can do some research on her okay well She's cute you say how old is she I'd say she's 40. Oh, it's not this girl then all right Looks like this is a plant you think this is bull crap. Oh

21:16 Yeah, yeah, I do. I think I think we're going to see it sounds like bullcrap Yeah, I think just as bullcrap written all over. Yeah, so I believe what we're you know remember the DSM 5 is coming out I believe we're going to see more and more of this mental health stuff and right first. It's guns Okay, so it's like well You know you're mentally ill or you're somewhere on the spectrum or whatever it is you can't have a gun and And you're going to be ratted out by your family or your friends or your neighbors like, oh, hey, you know, that guy's a little kooky. So I think, you know, you should do you. We have the potential. He's wearing a face. Hey, this guy's wearing a T-shirt that says in the Fed. What do you think that means? Atlas Shrugged. He wants to end the federal government. Exactly. He's wearing an Atlas Shrugged T-shirt. This guy's kooky. Clearly. He's got a John. Who is John Galt on his.

22:08 truck. Exactly. So then you're gonna get picked up because you know of course we all nine out of ten Americans agree and the majority of gun owners that we can have mentally ill people having guns so we have to come in make do you have any guns? Oh I'm sorry. And we have to go see if you're potentially dangerous if you potentially could be the naked guy running down the street but that's only the beginning you see because then it's like well we don't want you know insane people driving cars So, you know, a lethal weapon. Yes. In fact, I mean, it's common sense. You don't I mean, do you want do you want just drivers on the road who are sharing the same road as you and your children? Do you want them insane, mentally ill? No, it's common sense. So let's test everybody. And lo and behold, here it is. Doctors urge mental health screening during annual physicals.

CHAPTER 07 / 38 Discussion

Annual Mental Health Screenings, Pharmaceutical Side Effects

USA Today reports on a University of Cambridge study suggesting mental health screenings should be part of annual physical exams. The discussion pivots to the dangers of psychiatric drugs like Cymbalta and Chantix, noting reports of blackouts and violent ideation. A preference for traditional opiates like morphine for pain management is expressed due to their more predictable side effects compared to modern psychotropics.

usa today· university of cambridge· cymbalta· chantix· mental health screening

21:16 Yeah, yeah, I do. I think I think we're going to see it sounds like bullcrap Yeah, I think just as bullcrap written all over. Yeah, so I believe what we're you know remember the DSM 5 is coming out I believe we're going to see more and more of this mental health stuff and right first. It's guns Okay, so it's like well You know you're mentally ill or you're somewhere on the spectrum or whatever it is you can't have a gun and And you're going to be ratted out by your family or your friends or your neighbors like, oh, hey, you know, that guy's a little kooky. So I think, you know, you should do you. We have the potential. He's wearing a face. Hey, this guy's wearing a T-shirt that says in the Fed. What do you think that means? Atlas Shrugged. He wants to end the federal government. Exactly. He's wearing an Atlas Shrugged T-shirt. This guy's kooky. Clearly. He's got a John. Who is John Galt on his.

22:08 truck. Exactly. So then you're gonna get picked up because you know of course we all nine out of ten Americans agree and the majority of gun owners that we can have mentally ill people having guns so we have to come in make do you have any guns? Oh I'm sorry. And we have to go see if you're potentially dangerous if you potentially could be the naked guy running down the street but that's only the beginning you see because then it's like well we don't want you know insane people driving cars So, you know, a lethal weapon. Yes. In fact, I mean, it's common sense. You don't I mean, do you want do you want just drivers on the road who are sharing the same road as you and your children? Do you want them insane, mentally ill? No, it's common sense. So let's test everybody. And lo and behold, here it is. Doctors urge mental health screening during annual physicals.

23:04 I'm not kidding, I'm not making this up. This is great. This is not great. This is far from great. This is USA Today. Most general practitioners can administer mental health screenings during an annual checkup. And of course, the question which is posed in USA Today with a cute graphic, would you be offended if someone told you to get your brain checked out? But anyway, a new study from the University of Cambridge suggests everyone should get their mental health checked as often as they have an annual physical. That would be once a year. Essentially, treat your brain just like any other organ. Yeah, and we know so much about it. Unfortunately, most people don't address mental health issues until they are drastically interfering with their lives.

23:48 But this is a real problem and of course if you look at the drugs that many people are taking Oh, yeah, they're giving them making a mental making a mentally ill. So this is a a another we got another note from another guy Oh, no, no about one of the drugs that we've been recommending on this show. Yeah Yeah, what shamblin or whatever that will ask one shant chanterelle chanterelles. That's a mushroom whatever that was. Chantix? Chantix? No, Chantix is the not smoking stuff. No, no, not that. We haven't talked about that for a while. Cialis? No, not Cialis. No, Cialis is a... Cymbalta, Cymbalta. Cymbalta, that's the one. Why do they always have the same similar sound? It's interesting. It must be some study. So, and the guy says, you know, he blacked out for days and had all these issues and it was the same thing. It wasn't as funny as your story, but...

24:42 But the guy woke up you know because he was werewolves were after him or something vampires and werewolves No, that's what he thought he had ingested werewolves and vampires. He said he had the same experience It was bad, and it wasn't good, but he took it for his the doctor prescribed it for his back pain It's not funny, so why don't you you know morphine does work for these sorts of things oh? Well, I know it upsets that I asked you about this. Why are you giving people these crazy drugs when these old classics opiates? Yeah are out there for the taking and Morphine is like a really good example of that because it doesn't have all these crazy effects that some of these whopper drugs do which are just boosted to the extreme and the response is always the same Oh Morphine will give you a stomachache

25:28 Really? Yeah. And blacking out is not bad for your health? No, stomachache. It gives you a horrible stomachache. People get nauseous when they take it. So of course you're absolutely right when you say, you know, it's going to be, it is, so these messages are now coming in. This is Washington State where I think there's a lot of old people who are just, you know, incredibly easy to attest stuff on. Old people and people who work at Microsoft is probably the same thing. and Starbucks, the corporate headquarters. Which of course also is a propagation network, I'm convinced of it. You know, doo doo doo doo. You got Starbucks, you got Microsoft, you got Sega, you got Nintendo, you got Amazon, you got Costco. Hey, by the way, that Jeff Bezos guy? Insane. Have you ever heard him laugh? Bezos could probably be locked up by this. He better do some lobbying. Is everybody familiar with Bezos Laugh?

CHAPTER 08 / 38 Discussion

Jeff Bezos, Tourette's Syndrome Observations

Observations regarding Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos's distinctive laugh suggest it may be a nervous tick related to Tourette's Syndrome. The speaker, identifying as a fellow Tourette's sufferer, compares Bezos's mannerisms to those of Seth MacFarlane. The segment explores the "community" of people who recognize these hidden ticks in public figures.

26:22 I think so. No, I don't think we've heard him in a long time. I'm sure our Australian audience isn't. Okay, let's see. Here is random Jeff Bezos video. This is him on... Random? I'm just making it up. This is him on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Doesn't he do it all the time? His laugh? Yeah, he likes to laugh. He's a good-natured fellow. No, it's Tourette's. I recognize it. You think so? Yeah! Oh, that would make sense, because Tourette's people usually sit with you. Well, even you are very well organized. I'm not that well organized. Well, by your standards. But if you took a look around my office right now, you'd probably start twitching. Well, yeah, I am. I'm not even in your office and I'm twitching. Hold on a second. Let me see. Of course there was a... How annoying is that? An ad can't show anything.

27:20 Anyway, so but you it's it's every last like it goes It's no it's really it's worse nice. It's a funny laugh, and he's anything not no it's a distort. It's not a funny laugh It's a disturbing laugh Hold on it's it's kind of like us it is it's an uncomfortable laugh for you No, well yeah us Tourette's guys find it uncomfortable. Let's see if we can get him to laugh the kindle Laugh ships today, and you've brought a clip. Let's laugh all right. I'm sorry almost there it is I'm telling you it's a nervous tick things. I assumed my laugh had nothing you were just people sitting Shut up, Stuart on your right Amazon on it. You would send it to people's houses. I didn't know you actually made things oh

28:14 Well, we started working on this four years ago, but mostly we do pretty much what you described. Thank you. Laugh! Is that your business plan? Is that how it's going to go? If you watch long enough, it's just like, man, his laugh is... At one point he loses it. All the time. Yeah, and you know and I and I have a lot of respect that last a nervous tick is totally loud Yes, oh you didn't think so. Oh man thought much about I've only heard him laugh a few times And I've avoided all the people in tech. I've never met him. Oh, we'll see when you're and I'm sure I'd crack him up So he'd laugh like crazy. Yes when you're a Tourette's sufferer, then you you you see people's ticks from across the room. Oh

28:53 Because you're so used to concealing them yourself. So I see kids with tics, I see just... You know what else has... who has very similar to me is the family guy, dude. What's his name? Seth MacFarlane has the same Tourette's I do. Exactly the same. And he's pretty good at containing it, but when he's in an interview you can see it. You can see it happening. Yes, we are a cult, we're a community. Yeah, now that you mention it, because he does a lot of the kind of odd swallowing that you do and some of the... Odd swallowing? Now that's... what are you talking about? It's odd swallowing. Wait a minute, now I don't even know I'm doing this. Now I'm self-conscious of my odd swallowing. Oh God. People wonder why I like to do radio. I'm not kidding. Anyway, so they are clearly coming to get us.

CHAPTER 09 / 38 Discussion

Joe Biden Shotgun Advice, Newtown Weapon Discrepancies

Vice President Joe Biden's comments on the Newtown shooting are scrutinized, specifically his claims regarding the shooter's reloading process. The discussion revisits early reports suggesting the primary weapon used was a pistol rather than an AR-15. Biden's previous advice for women to use shotguns for self-defense is mocked, noting the physical difficulty of handling a 12-gauge shotgun compared to an AR-15.

joe biden· newtown· ar-15· shotgun· magazine limits

29:49 And it'll be like look at that guy with his twitches and tics and his Atlas shrug t-shirt and his and the Fed bumper sticker It's called let's call the cops. Yeah, no, that's exactly what's going on Yeah, but I do want since we're on that topic of the guns and the whole thing I do want to play something that was kind of I think you're right I think this the crux of this whole thing because they they didn't do anything really except they started promoting this this anti insane thing but Biden did come out and say something I do have a clip and Now, let's get, let's talk, just for one second, let's get something clear about Newtown, Connecticut. When all was said and done, and the final analysis came in, how were the kids shot? With an assault rifle? Well, this is very unclear. This is very unclear, but I'll bet you they were riddled

30:39 Well, no, but it was they were all riddles somehow. But don't you remember we have the documents came out that the assault rifle was in the trunk. He never used it at the school. It was pistols. However, however, the medical examiner. That was at the beginning. That's before they got the script right. Yeah. So before the before the rewrite, before the yellow copy of the script was distributed to everybody, including the medical medical examiner, he said, oh, is all the long gun. He said, oh, it's all the long gun. It's the velocity of the bullets. Yeah. Although you can have a high velocity. I mean, I don't know what velocity you're talking about, but if you shoot a .357 Magnum, that's got a lot of damaging characteristics. But he specifically said the long gun. Right. But then they changed it. And then finally, they agreed that the guy did not use any long guns at all. They were pistols. He had a couple of automatics and he was shooting kids with that. And by the way, his accuracy rate for these pistols was

31:34 Outstanding. Yeah, apparently the guy was a sharpshooter. Who knew? But anyway, so but Biden apparently never got the final script. He got it all right. He's like, what's this crap? But here's what it's worse. He's like, I told them to put shotguns in. That's much cooler. Did you ever see the video that's on the net of the women shooting a shotgun? Yes, where they're falling down and then they use the AR-15 like boom boom boom boom boom boom boom is perfect. It's so true. A 12 gauge shotgun is not, you know, a lot of women, petite women certainly, or women who have not shot, anyone who has not shot, it's going to be a surprise for you. Yeah, the first time you shoot a shotgun

32:15 if you're not ready for it and you got that thing tucked in and you're really hoping it'll hurt you. It'll give you a bruise. Or it can knock you over. It could, if you know. So anyway, so here's Biden on Newtown knowing that we know that it was all done by pistol but here's what he says for all those who say we shouldn't or couldn't ban high capacity magazines I just ask them one question drunk or not drunk what do you think? drunk yeah me too think about Newtown think about Newtown think about how many of these children may be our teachers may be alive today had he had to reload a gun

32:57 Three times as many times as he did. Three... Oh! Nice 3-3 meme! Very good, love that. Three times as many times as he did. Three times as many times as he did. So he already... I don't even know what that means. He already reloaded at least three times. But let us not forget, let us remember that he had his training from video games, so he was reloading before the magazine was empty. So it really makes no you know we're all good We usually just use ten shots, and then we reload anyway because you know we're usually speaking I think a normal person shooting away would just shoot till he got a click and he was like there was no bullets No, no, no not when you're trained on the video games John we have proof fact

33:43 But when you're training on the video games it's because these horrible monsters are after you. Yeah. And they're shooting you in the back of the head and the screen's turning red and splatters all over the place and your little life guy is shrinking, shrinking, shrinking. Your life guy. That whole thing is going on. He's a little gauged life going away. My life is going away. My life guy. Yeah, yeah, no, so this is about the crazy and it coincides with of course, you know, the Affordable Care Act. So I'm, you know, we don't have enough health care. So this is another Avenue that the insurance companies can jump into because now, you know, of course they have all the data on you.

34:27 If they don't have it, then you know, they're going to acquire it, but they're getting it from from your doctors, etc. And now all it takes is one of your friends, your neighbors, your family to say, well, we think he's potentially dangerous. Boom, you know, right there. That's a three thousand dollar evaluation that someone's going to have to pay for. So might as well be insurance. And then you're probably going to have to be medicated. Well, I've met a number of people who You meet these people and once in a while, they're not necessarily no agenda listeners but they're potential listeners. They always get a disc from me. You sound like a no agenda listener but generally speaking they're a little nutty. If you're running these guys, they're like, yeah I know the government's terrible. We got to get rid of this money, we got to go to gold. Well so we have three guys at the market.

Local Farmers Market, Bitcoin for Seeds

An anecdote about a local farmers market in Austin, Texas, describes interactions with vendors, including a beef processor and a chocolate maker. The "Health Ranger" Mike Adams and NaturalNews.com are noted for beginning to accept Bitcoin for survival seeds. The segment highlights the growing "awakened" community at local markets who use alternative currencies and discuss government overreach.

And they're shooting you in the back of the head and the screen's turning red and splatters all over the place and your little life guy is shrinking, shrinking, shrinking. Your life guy.

You sound like a no agenda listener but generally speaking they're a little nutty. If you're running these guys, they're like, yeah I know the government's terrible. We got to get rid of this money, we got to go to gold. Well so we have three guys at the market.

35:20 And so Farmer Chris, who is a dedicated, dedicated listener, I'm trying to keep his marriage together. He's like, his wife's not buying it. No, he's like, oh, my wife is drinking the Kool-Aid. Now, his wife is very smart. She knows exactly what's going on. But she's you know, it takes a while for the newly awakened to settle in into the environment. You know, and you can go off the deep end. So, you know, stay away from Alex Jones and Webster Griffin Tarpley and you'll be okay. There's a whole bunch of guys on AM radio that are trying to compete with Overnight. Yeah. And they're

36:03 completely over the edge on some of this. Oh yeah, and really just a lot of money is being made on this. So whenever I hear someone talking about seeds and stuff, I'm like, oh, well let me just pull you aside. They're selling you seeds. It's not a good operation. Let me just tell you this. Seeds. Today. Get a burpee catalog for God's sake. Something, a new occurrence, naturalnews.com. Calm I think it is with Mike the health ranger They are now accepting Bitcoin for their seeds. I mean is this like a double whammy or what okay, so anyway? So walk in the market

36:44 And there's our beef guy who processes one animal typically a month. He's a small guy, small operation and he knows that I will buy the tenderloin off of him because he always gives me a good price and I take the whole thing and I freeze it and we enjoy that. And I just hope that you know we keep power have a shrink or a shrink wrap facility where he can seal the meat and a vacuum he he takes it for processing, but it's you know if he walks it all the way through the the process so he's he knows it's his animal and yeah, I mean he doesn't have the processing himself, but he takes it in and he walks the animal through the whole process and so so I seem to hey hey someone told me you have a

37:32 It's not a radio thing, it's a podcast. Yeah! Yeah, what's that about? So word is out on the market now. I said, I'll just write this down. No agenda. You should bring discs to the market. We bring discs everywhere. We didn't bring them for this. And then we have the chocolate guy. And the chocolate guy is the guy who has, you know, and he sells homemade chocolate. He's got cocoa beans, all kinds of great stuff. And he always has a sign next to his stand. And it's usually like, you know, trillion dollar coin accepted here. Yeah, that's right. That's a good one. This guy is very, very astute.

38:11 So, yes, I know exactly what you're talking about. But yes, that kind of person, they are in danger, I think, in peril. Yeah, we're here to save them. And the main one, I'm going to continue to wear my Atlas Shrug T-shirts, but you do have to be careful who you're saying what to. Because it's just dangerous. It's dangerous. So for instance, here's a I've been holding this for like two weeks. This is Ed Schultz following on the Southern Poverty Law Center report that we discussed about you know, who is it? Who was a hate group? Who is dangerous? And it's just it's like seriously war is peace white is black. Good is bad. Yes is no myself.

CHAPTER 11 / 38 Discussion

Ed Schultz, Southern Poverty Law Center Patriot Group Report

MSNBC's Ed Schultz reports on a Southern Poverty Law Center study claiming "anti-government patriot groups" are at an all-time high. The report draws parallels between current militia growth and the environment preceding the Oklahoma City bombing. The discussion criticizes the labeling of constitutionalist groups as "hate groups" and the call for an inter-agency task force to monitor them.

ed schultz· southern poverty law center· patriot groups· hate groups· oklahoma city bombing

39:00 Something big has happened. Something big. You know what something big is? Yeah, something big is he got fired from that job thank goodness. So his something big is that all the signs, this is what the Southern Poverty Law Center is saying, that the signs we're seeing now with the patriot groups, think about how twisted it is, the patriot groups, this is exactly the same vibe and environment as before the Oklahoma City bombing. When I got in there and I saw the news, I could not believe that this had happened on American soil. that someone had done this to fellow Americans. And that's why I'm fired up about these facts tonight. Thanks to a new report by the Southern Poverty Law Center, we know that anti-government patriot groups are now at an all-time high in this country. That is one of the lines. Anti-government patriot hate groups. Wow. Wow. We need to pay attention to this, folks. Pay attention, folks.

40:02 The increase in threats on the President of the United States and other government targets is similar to the period of time before the Oklahoma City bombing. Oh, whoa, really? Were there threats? The increase on threats of the President? It's probably coming from Pakistan. People are getting droned by the president. Researchers are out front asking the American government to create an inter-agency task force to deal with the problem before it's too late. Let's just break down a few numbers here. In 2008, there were only 149 known militia groups in this country. Last year, there were 1,360. More than eight times as many. 800%!

40:46 And with Houston we got a problem. He's in Houston? Well there's a problem if he is. So anyway, so we must be wary and I'd like everyone to keep their ears open and eyes peeled for the war on crazy meme because that is what it is. It is come down to you are crazy and I can prove it. And this is actually I hope we have another dinner with Professor Russ, you know, the brain guy, because we need to find out. You should, and then write down some of these so-called statistics and let him tell you. Well, you know, in that regard he's kind of on our side. I'm saying how much do we actually know about the brain? And he's like, if I'm paraphrasing, but I believe he said probably less than 1%. And we don't know anything about your mental health, really. We really don't.

41:48 Yet we're going to start locking people up denying you access of course it starts with guns of course of course it's leverage leverage Leverage, it's just yeah you leverage you find the topic of the high interest that you actually could barely make work Sound competent they are and then you leverage that into what you really want to accomplish which is you know imprisoning the nation. Well not just that it's going to be it'll be some on a record somewhere it's like can you get hired for a job? It'll be like your FICA score. It will be a part of your FICA score. Yeah you have your FICA score then you have your mental ability score and you have like your Facebook friends number of Facebook friends. Right they check your, nowadays it doesn't apply to us so much but anyone under the age

CHAPTER 12 / 38 Discussion

Global Cooling, Colorado World Cup Snow Game

A World Cup qualifying soccer match in Colorado played in a whiteout blizzard serves as a counter-point to global warming narratives. The discussion suggests that despite official warnings of rising temperatures, the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing record-long winters. A theory is proposed that "global warming" policies are actually intended to trigger a new Ice Age.

global warming· global cooling· colorado· world cup· soccer

42:33 He only has 50 Facebook friends, he's a loner. Anyone who's under 30 is being hired by a large corporation. Nowadays they'll check their Facebook account out and if they have, if they look like flakes on Facebook or if they don't have enough friends, they you know then they just get really, they won't hire you period. They just won't do it. And this FICA score thing, Ms. Mickey has one of her best friends over from Holland, Maddie. And by the way, you know, the people in the Netherlands are, everyone's trying to book vacations with us now because it is almost April and they are looking at snow again on the ground for this global warming. Yeah, tell them to go to Colorado. Yeah, where, how's the snow there? It's been snowing. They had a soccer match, a World Cup preliminary in Colorado, I think over the last week and it was snow

43:31 And it was apparently some South American Latino group that apparently had never seen snow in their life, at least that's what they said, I'm sure they do. But they actually played the game in their shorts in the snow and like football players are all bundled up and they're playing the game. It's amazing. You couldn't even see anything, it was just whiteout. But we have, I believe on this very podcast, we have predicted that the that you know whenever the government tells you oh we're all going to burn it's gonna be global warming that you should pretty much expect the opposite and voila here we are it's been the longest winter on the history books and we're going into an ice age

44:12 Well, this would be the way to kill off people. This is my theory from the get-go, which is that they used to predict ice age and then they stopped doing that and then they predict global warming and we have to do everything we can to stop that, which seems to me as though they want to trigger an ice age. Yes, well why do you think I'm in Texas? It's been beautiful here. Mellow weather, not too hot. It snowed. Mimi had to go get Jay. She said he had to drive. It was April. It'll be snowing. Yeah in April. I mean it was snowing in the in Washington State like a week I know that's what I'm saying and in Texas. It's not blazing hot. It's nice and beautiful You know I'm gonna have beachfront property here in a couple years you watch That whole Gulf of Mexico is gonna be right here at Round Rock and by the way it will get very hot It's not gonna get hot. It's gonna be July. It's gonna be beautiful here um

45:04 Dream on. Let's thank some producers for episode 4, 9 or 8. Yeah, we had some good producers come in to help us out here, including David Killian in Clinton, Illinois, who says on his... This came in as an unusual, this came in as a check, but it didn't come in as a personal check. It came in as what would surprise me, because you get a... When you get these checks, we have a mailbox people can send checks to, and a lot of time payment checks go there. So it looked like a time payment check that you have to tear the edges off and oh my god Thanks for ever to open and it was a thousand dollars. So I gave us but he didn't even know Yeah, it's the night. So he's in his time. He left a little note. He says this is $2 a show

46:41 Yahoo has a lot of interesting things that they've never promoted. A lot of the stuff that came and went, I mean I used to, I wrote about this a number of times, I'll say as a pet peeve of mine, I'd read some article that they've cancelled something they were doing and I'd say, I never heard of this. You mean they cancelled Yahoo Reader? No, that's Google. Google's doing the same thing by the way. They're canceling things that people don't know about. Why don't you just maybe tell people about it? You might get some interest. But anyway, so anyway, let's get back to it. The next one is out of Texas. We have Sir Long the Good. Long Good.

Warren Carroll donated $250 at two shows ago and And of course, it was an associate executive producer will get credit appropriately today. That was because of the mix-up. Way to go Adam and John. I was standing in line at a burrito joint in downtown Seattle surrounded by the dreaded hipsters when on TV I saw that they had announced the new Pope. Holy shit, I say. Adam was right. Out loud, I may add. After some strange looks from the dudes with their tight pants rolled up, beards and beanies,

53:02 I ordered my meal, but at that moment I knew I must donate. You guys deserve much more than this donation, but for now it will have to do. Thank you very much and we appreciate that. And Michael Randall donated $3.13. 31313 and wrote in the morning Adam and John Michael Randall from Halifax Nova Scotia No need to read on air love the show happy continue supporting value for value signed up for a 333 monthly as well So that is very kind and we appreciate that and we've been going back and forth with one of our producers who had got one of the the letters from PayPal saying no agenda has suspended your subscription. Yeah I saw your back and forth with him. I'm trying to figure it out you know I'm trying to figure out if there is some kind of correlation if it's after a year because you know his credit card changed but yet there was no problem with doing anything. I think it's a credit card thing I really think it is. Credit card changes which they do every couple years for most people they kill the account.

53:57 I'll sit but they do why they blame us is another issue. Yeah, that's the poor. That's the irksome part Yeah, it's like we're not why would we cancel your subscription? We didn't care money's no good with us Go away you I don't want you Yeah, so we're still working on trying to keep that from have you spoken minimizing? Have you ever spoken? Yes, I did I never got him this last time they talked to me then I crap another one of those guys who's onto our scam and So my wife by the way was in Costco and she's wearing the hoodie that has the wanted poster on it which says no agenda. And she's walking down the aisle and someone says to her behind her back, in the morning. Did it freak her out? She was like, she was trying to figure out what, she didn't immediately figure out, then she turned around the guy was gone.

54:54 Wow. So at least they're out there and I told her I said you got to be there they're everywhere. Well I got this note from Illinois from Chicago and it's written in the way I should I wish actually you should you didn't receive it because I think you would be better at the voice but I'll give it a shot. No Agenda Capo di Tutti Capi. Last Saturday me and Big Tony was getting a pepper and egg sandwich at my Saint Madre's home in Cicero, Illinois of course. What did I hear playing on a kitchen radio but the No Agenda Show, the numero uno podcast in the universe. I asked mama what she listening to? She tells me WCKG 1530.

55:35 She says those nice boys make me laugh. She says this on every Saturday morning. First I think this is nice, then I says to Big Tony, if Brof and Wilf ain't getting some action from the ads on this, then that's an insult to the no-agenda family. But hey, how am I doing? It's kind of a mix of like South Jersey. Yeah, I'm almost done. New York, some Chicago. It's not really Chicago. But hey, if these guys are sending you the envelope, which they should, great. If not, mention delivered the cannoli on the podcast. I'll send some friends of ours to collect the street tax. Hey, our translator stopped doing the cuts on the show. I'm gonna have to get a hold of him and see what happens. One Goomba to you Goombas. I had big Tony's kid stop looking at porn on the internet and he found the web stuff. He said yous would know.

56:24 And so it is a 1530 WCKG So apparently they're airing the show and we're not listed on their website. It's a 750 watt sunrise to sunset station and I'm okay with it. I mean we are open source I just like yeah, no, I'm the one that's the one that we were doing this clean version for oh, well, then we're good to go. Yeah Yeah. What are they doing to ads? Are we getting some, are we getting envelopes? Our ads are embedded. But are they playing that? That's what I mean. Are they playing our ads? The donation segment is out but there's a regular mention of the website. It's basically

57:02 Well then how come we're not on the website for this outfit? Well it's because we haven't gotten, apparently, there's still a workflow problem that needs to be resolved. Okay, I'll stay out of it. workflow problem we really we really appreciate everyone helping out on the show our executive producers our associate executive producers this show could not be done without you the only thing that we will never receive we've pretty much you know accepted the fact that we will never receive an award for the work we do but if we would we We would have a list. We'd like to thank our executive producers and our associate executive producers. And the band would be playing us off.

57:47 Wrap up, wrap up, wrap up. Get them off the stage. Get them off the stage. Get the stage manager going. Cut them, cut them, cut them. Because, and that's literally how it works. Why else do you think people are always thanking the executive producers and the associate executive producers? Because they make the program happen. You make this one happen. You make it possible for us to continue. And you do that by going to... Dvorak.org slash N-A-W-R-A-K. And also, all of those monthly subscribers, a lot of people have jumped in and even though they may be a one-off executive producer, they are signing up for our fives, our 1111s, our 1212s, our 33s. If everyone did that, the donation segment would be nothing but pleasure all the time. And I want to mention, by the way, we have only one more show

58:38 Until 500 500 episodes of premium entertainment So next Thursday shows your last chance to get a double executive producer credit. Thank you very much John that is correct And of course you can go out there and you can propagate our formula if you so wish our formula is this we go out we hit people in the mouth Before we before we move into

International Greetings, Boris Berezovsky Death

New "In the Morning" greetings in Arabic and Russian are introduced. The death of Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky in the UK is briefly mentioned, with the hosts characterizing it as an obvious "hit job" rather than a suicide.

Julia Gillard, Australian Media Gender Politics

Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard's appearance on Today FM is analyzed through the lens of Australian media commentary. A debate between pundits highlights the divide over Gillard's popularity, with some claiming she is "Machiavellian" and others arguing she is unfairly targeted by "white males" in the press. The hosts compare Gillard's divisive nature to that of Hillary Clinton.

julia gillard· australia· today fm· machiavellian· gender politics

1:02:27 So, I'm listening a lot, this was my Australian week. Oh, you had the Yagi pointed towards Sydney. So I'm listening to some morning, like the equivalent of the Today Show and they're discussing... The elections, I'm sure. The election in Gilead. They... Gileard. I think it's Gileard. I think it's Gileard. Gileard, not Gileard. From now on she's Gileard. Yes. Gileard. And so here's a little discussion that we only hear in this country of talking about... there's a debate going on whether anyone even likes this woman and there's a little group that has a little kind of a little chit-chat amongst themselves. It's like one guy, I can't remember his name and I'll get their older names eventually. And there's one woman who is always

1:03:16 Having a beef with and the woman you have to you'll hear on this clip is which is the Australians on Gilead Gilead You're gonna hear her and she have to Envision her as someone that's wearing like 10x too much makeup the woman who's talking or Gilead the woman who'll be talking and they're gonna talk about why Gilead did not come on their show and Instead she went on today, which is a number two day FM. Which is that notorious? who killed the nurse killed the nurse in Britain because of the punkdark killers yeah so they say that well she went on there because it's for a younger audience and the only people according to some this woman is that all the young people are in love with Gilead anyone over 25 hates her

1:04:05 So that's the way this was handled. I don't know whether she's done any other interviews. What do you make of her going on Today FM? Well, it's obviously a youth audience, isn't it? It's a softer audience. She's clearly chosen that market as opposed to perhaps coming on here or speaking to AM Talkback Radio. So yeah, it's a youth market and it's a softer grilling, if you like. Nikki she's speaking to those people and and they're the future and they see her differently to a lot of the white males who run the press in this country. Oh Nikki. Well bring it on Carl, bring it on. But I do feel that there's a disconnect between opinion pieces what is reported about what... She's got no purchase. Her performance yesterday, her performance yesterday. Zero purchase. Do they take these people

1:04:59 And I think the women in particular are these like made in a factory and they just put a different accent module into them and that said send some off to Fox some off to Australia some off to CNN it's the same person yeah yeah annoying annoying person with an accent and and how are her legs this is You know they don't do they haven't got enough of a clue to really show off the legs. Fox is the only one that just highlights legs. Well that's smart look at the ratings. Well if you look at that gill foil woman's legs I mean you just stare at it. Let's keep going. I was completely lost in all the commentary of today. Why did you say white males? You lost me at white males.

1:05:39 Is that because white males are hot for Gilead is that it? No, no, no you miss you actually killed. I talked at what did I do? You stepped actually stopped it. I bet she said she was claiming all these media outlets are what run by white? Right so the white men's offense to that okay, and now she's trying to defend it So she's saying that the white males who run the outfits are hot for this woman. Oh, they hate Gilead Really She is a woman who is different from the standard stereotype of what a woman is meant to be. That's threatening. Men don't like that. They want to crush that. They want her to conform. That is not true. That is not true. That's my opinion, Carl, and I'm entitled to it. You are entitled to it, but you need to take that back because it's not true. I absolutely will not. I'll fight you in the car park afterwards. What?

1:06:28 Oh, I'll fuck you. She'll fight you in the car park afterwards. Bring it on, baby. Now she says something coming up that I just think was interesting because she's obviously and I'll analyze this afterwards and we also listened to a real short clip of Gilead when she was on 2 Day FM. I think that's a massive generalization because I mean you look across the board she's not popular. She's not popular with women, she's not popular with men, she's not popular with elderly, she's not popular with anyone. I can't believe you have said that. No, did she write emails to me? I can't believe you missed that. She's not popular with anyone. There is an extraordinary amount of women out there who look at a woman like her and say

1:07:19 She gets things done. She's leading our country. She's leading right into the carbon tax. That's because he's soft. He didn't even run yesterday. She is Machiavellian and she has outfoxed all the blokes. Look at Crean. I mean, he's gone now. I think it's extraordinary what she has achieved as a woman and for a lot of women, Carl. And sorry, I adore you, but you can't speak for us. I really loved it when she planted her face in the dirt. Remember that? when her heel was growing. That was funny. This woman, the reason I thought this was an interesting clip and was taken from a long thing that they do on the show is that she says that women appreciate Gilear because of her Machiavellian, I mean these are not

1:08:09 real compliments in any normal world. No. You don't want someone that's a Machiavelli. Why don't you just say she's a Machiavellian creep and women love her because she can beat up men. Yeah, why don't you say she's a dude? This is what's gonna happen in this country when Hillary runs because there's a bunch of people, Hillary's the same divisive character, horribly Machiavellian and she's gonna get a lot more votes because there's a bunch of women and not to say that the vote should be taken away from them because I won't do that because even though it's funny but there's women that are resentful as this overly made-up woman is and I people will call me out on that but believe me she just doesn't look like she should be there with that much makeup and

CHAPTER 17 / 38 Discussion

Black Pride and Obama, Hillary Clinton 2016

A discussion on voting patterns suggests that African-American support for President Obama is rooted in "Black Pride" rather than specific policy expectations. This is compared to the potential for women to vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016 based on gender identity. The hosts express skepticism about Clinton, referencing Madeleine Albright and characterizing Clinton as a "Machiavellian" figure.

barack obama· hillary clinton· black pride· 2016 election· madeleine albright

1:08:52 There's a lot of resentful women that are looking for their chance to get back at men in some way, shape or form and they're just going to vote. It's worse than the blacks voting for Obama. 95% of the blacks in the last election voted for Obama. They're just going to vote for Obama no matter what or any black out runs, give them the vote. May I point out that should President Obama somehow receive a third term, which the guys who sell seeds would have you believe, So I'm not against the thought, you know, it's totally possible. I am going to say that I think the African-American population would not vote for President Obama because that's just, you know, eight years, it'd be like, well, screw it. We didn't get any benefit. Ah, see, this is where I think, I think you're dead wrong on this. Oh, really? That's exactly the way I thought. Ah, okay. I totally thought like that until I ran into a guy who's a government worker, he was filling out some paperwork.

1:09:49 And he was, we started talking politics, I talked about the No Agenda show, I think he might be listening. Maybe not. But whatever the case was, he actually communicated to me what it really, they don't... The black community in general doesn't expect anything from the government, except what they're already getting, which is whatever welfare or whatever system that they're stuck in. And they're getting that already and they get it from any Democrats. So it's the Democrats give them what they need. They don't give them anything extra. They're only doing it for black pride, period. Okay, the guy says to me he's almost in tears He says you have no idea how it feels to be a black man in this country and have a black president. We are so proud Period nothing about wanting extra stuff or anything is that these right-wingers and say oh, they're gonna understand that and that's all it is I know the women think it could be exactly the same way okay, so what we need was first of all I understand it and I told I totally get it and

1:10:50 And because you know when we used to talk about Maggie who we Who worked at the MeVeo office and she was exactly the same way, but it was cool about Maggie's I could debate with her and I'd be like dude. It's just as crappy for Ed She's a jab, but give the brother a chance. I'm like, okay, whatever, you know, but but Maggie was very proud I mean she's just just bursting with pride and you get it and You know, totally get it. Um, Ms. Mickey has the same thing with Hillary. Now, even though of course she, um, she knows about the evilness and, you know, she listens to the show, uh, I've heard her say on several occasions, well, you know, wait until a woman is running the show. And I'm like, oh yeah, I can't wait. Gee, that's gonna be awesome. This is not. And I think you're right. I think it's worse.

1:11:42 Remember we had the clip of Madeleine Albright? She's a demon woman. She's over there yelling at the Serbs, ugly, ugly Serbs, get out of my face. Hillary Clinton is the devil, people. And I think, you know, unless something happens, if there's some reason for her not to run, she would make a great Pope too, by the way. The intelligence community is going to have to find some way of stopping her. Yeah. So anyway, because I don't think they want her. And the more I now I actually got to get too far off well actually before I get off too far off the track on that I want to just least at least let's play the fascinating discussion on two-day FM Australia with Gilead having a conversation with the DJs

CHAPTER 18 / 38 Discussion

Plastic Bag Bans, Austin and Alameda County

The implementation of plastic bag bans in Austin, Texas, and Alameda County, California, is discussed. Retailers are now required to charge for paper bags, which the hosts describe as a "retraining" of the public. They note that these policies have led to the elimination of grocery bagging jobs, forcing customers to pack their own items.

plastic bag ban· austin· alameda county· paper bags· environmental policy

1:12:32 Well, Tim's actually away at the moment, so it was, you know, me and Reuben the dog, so he was full of wise words. Oh, that makes me sad that you were just home alone with the dog after such a brutal day. Jackie's fishing for friends. She wants to be the one you phone. I'd have to say I spent some time with people into the evening and then got back here and had a few quick telephone calls to make and all the rest of it but at the end of a long hard day I was happy enough to you know sort of hang out, pat the dog and then get some sleep. Okay I figured it out. Have been to Australia. I did a documentary short one, but I did a documentary so You know went all the way from east to west and you know stopped in like Williams Creek And you know a little touristy places Coober Pedy the Opal mines You know took that damn train that all that through the 24 hours of your desert all the way to Perth Which I thought to be very beautiful and I think that what's happening is

1:13:32 I think it's a very male-dominated society still in Australia, but the men have this thing about the Shaylas, you know, the women are Shaylas. You with me? I'm listening. And so the Shayla of course is lesser than the man, but they love a Shayla with a knife. Right? Because you know they can take care of their own in the... That was bad. They can take care of their own in the outback. But when you have one who's got the knife of the government, I think they're paralyzed. And they're just like... And I think it's a brain freeze to have this type of woman in charge. And if you see what's happening, and it's astounding to me,

1:14:24 Because I've always had the Aussies in such high regard that they don't take any crap. And so now the carbon tax is about to start, and businesses are allowed to increase their prices to adjust for the increased taxes, yet it will be illegal for them to say, yeah, we had to raise the price because of the carbon tax. And they can get fined if a waiter says, yeah, I'm sorry, man, your coffee's now $8 Aussie. because of the carbon tax, the establishment will get fined because you're not allowed to say that. It's crazy what's happening there. We have a similar thing, it's not quite as extreme as what's going on in Australia. We don't have a carbon tax. We don't have a carbon tax, but in Alameda County they decided to ban plastic bags.

1:15:13 Oh, dude, we have that here too. Austin as of March 1st, no plastic bags. So there's no plastic bags anymore in Alameda County and you have to, and if you're going to use a paper bag, you have to buy it. Yeah, we have to do the same. $1. It's called emergency. You can get an emergency assistance bag for a dollar. Oh, just a JIP. We have them for 10 cents, but just beside the point where I found out is I didn't know this cause I had, run up a bill at some place and then I, oh I need a bag and it was already the thing had already been opened, the whole thing is done and she didn't want to reopen another ten cent tab on my credit card. So I take the bag and she says, you know, there

1:15:53 I said, what happens to the accounting, there's the 10 cents, you won't give the 10 cents to this, what's the deal with the 10 cents? They don't even, there's not even a tax as 10 cents. It goes right to the store. Yes, no, I know, I know, and here's some bucks. Pirates sell it for 10 cents, they can't, it's illegal now to give the bag to the customer. Yeah, I know. It's ludicrous. If they want to give me a bag, a paper bag, why can't they do that? Uh-huh, I know. Because the overseeing government wants to make it make people take more responsibility and bring your own damn bag. I mean screw you They've been giving us bags for since I was a

1:16:34 Born and before so now I have to buy the bag because I have to be retrained. Yes Yes, it's been going on in Europe. It's always annoying you have to pack your own bag. Well. Hold on This is very important because you know we have the HEB here, which is actually quite a good story all locally sourced kind of you know it's okay for Texas and And so everyone started this as of March 1st and no more plastic or paper bags unless you have an emergency, then you pay a dollar you can get a paper bag or for as many paper bags as necessary. But what has actually happened, you are so right and Ms. Mickey says, hey, wait a minute. I don't mind bringing my own bag, but now I'm packing. It's actually taken away workers. It has taken away jobs because now you're packing your own stuff. There's no one to pack your groceries anymore.

CHAPTER 19 / 38 Discussion

No Agenda Branded Tote Bags

Plans are discussed to produce high-quality, branded reusable tote bags featuring show slogans like "Don't Drone Me Bro." The intent is to provide these at cost or as promotional items to listeners, turning them into "walking billboards" at grocery stores that have banned plastic bags.

tote bags· promotion· branding· china· marketing

1:17:28 Well that's wrong. Yeah this isn't any good. No. Anyway it's just a little, it just, and in Berkeley it's just the worst because everyone's got you know now, oh by the way, now on another note, I'm gonna, we're gonna try to get some, Eric already has done the research on this, Eric DeShill, we're gonna get some of those those those kind of those nice handled bags that everybody sells for like 99 cents at Trader Joe's. Oh, whoa, we're gonna get all those? No agenda. Oh, perfect! But we have to have some slogans on it. Yeah, we'll put some stuff on there, both sides, and we'll make them good-looking bags. In fact, there's the Monterey Foods bag that they make. This is a great idea, John. And then we take the bags, and people who want to buy some of the bags, they can buy some from us at cost. And then when you go to the store... Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a second. You went off the rails at the cost part. What are you talking about? These bags are going to cost... they cost us to get printed. Yeah, we're not going to make any money on them?

1:18:28 No, no, what we're gonna do is we're gonna use them as promotion. They're not to make money. Oh, you grow to this crappy he HGV yeah, and and you put you take 20 bags with our 10 bags you think and then you and then when somebody's coming into the store so would you like some bags there's some free bags bags people Yeah, so they give the bags away, so they'll be used because these bags are reuse So they're basically a person with a billboard walking around nice. It says no agenda and so what the hell's no agenda I don't know they gave me the free bags of you. It's got a website no agenda show calm. What is that? Oh, I didn't go there. Oh, you should go check it out. You can we put some stuff on the side like don't drone me, bro

1:19:07 Yeah, we'll put some sayings on there, whatever. Some sayings, in the morning, don't drill me bro. The reason I say that there's no reason to make money on these, apparently, at least from what I heard, these things are like, they cost like maybe five cents. Yeah, nothing to make. Well, hold on a second, can we then maybe, we should set up a distribution network where people can easily make their own for their local community. Oh, that's a good idea. Right? We'll set up the shop to get to order these things and then people will have like a permanent order at the place that makes them in China. And we'll call it a mac and cheese tote.

1:19:43 You just go to the website and you order like a hundred, I think a minimum of like a hundred. People can get a hundred, it's gonna cost nothing. It's gonna be like $40 maybe for a thousand. Really? It's really cheap. But Eric, they're so cheap it's ridiculous. Perfect. And so anyway, there'll be these bags floating around saying no agenda show and we'll make them so they're artsy. Okay, well, but let's look at the art before we decide that they're artsy. They gotta be good. Okay, well, you know what I'm saying. So, in 1989, I'm gonna take you back and... Ah! Where's my... Don't we have a time machine harp? I should have that thing at the ready. Oh yeah, that was it. That was the one. Yes, thank you.

Ice-T 1989 Martial Law Track, Jello Biafra

A 1989 track by Ice-T featuring Jello Biafra is played, which satirically depicts America under martial law. The lyrics describe a dystopian future where constitutional rights are suspended, curfews are enforced by shooting, and "national security" overrides individual will. The hosts use this to frame current events.

Quantico Shooting, Military Giant Voice System

Following a shooting at the Quantico Marine Corps Base, residents were instructed via Facebook to follow the "Giant Voice System." This high-powered PA system, manufactured by American Signal Corporation, is used for base-wide alerts. The hosts find the nomenclature "Giant Voice" particularly Orwellian and note its origins in Cold War civil defense sirens.

1:23:23 That is of course you hear this this is 1989. There's a very recognizable There's a lot of stuff in there. That's like oh my national security is more important You know this thing just all these things no more than two people if you ever flown in America on an airplane You know don't stand near the bathroom You know with more than two people which would be like you and somebody else all this kind of bullcrap But the shooting at Quantico at the at the base the military base in Virginia the news report It just like blew me away. Is this the one right here? The one that just took place? Yes, the one that just took place. The shooting. The shooting. I don't know anything. Okay, anyway, keep going. Do you want to... Do you have a clip announcing it? I have a clip about the shooting.

1:24:11 Do you have something that you want to... No, my clip is the same thing. It's very narrow. It was done on Democracy Now! and before you know it was like, this woman is useless. But my clip was not necessarily about what happened but... Think back to this Ice-T clip. The shooting began around 11 p.m. last night. The suspect shot and killed one Marine inside a barracks building near the Officer Candidate School at Quantico Marine Corps Base. Local police and MPs on the base responded to the scene surrounding the suspect and putting the base on lockdown. Announcements were made over the base wide PA system and notifications were sent to residents via Facebook and Twitter.

1:24:53 Base residents are to follow all instructions being delivered by the giant voice system Is this a joke? No, this is this is what's on the Facebook page the giant voice system will tell you what to do people What? My clip is just what? Being delivered by the giant voice system They say this without questioning it or laughing it's on the they not only that but they show the Facebook page where it's printed Giant voice system listening yet delivered by the giant voice system. Please remain inside your homes with doors locked

1:25:37 Suspect barricaded by law enforcement personnel not under custody. That's also on the Facebook page, but I love it. Just wait, await instructions from the giant voice system. Lockdown. Announcements were made over the base wide PA system and notifications were sent to residents via Facebook and Twitter. Base residents are to follow all instructions being delivered by the giant voice system. Please remain inside your homes with doors locked. Shut up and be happy! So apparently this is a nomenclature for the PA systems which are usually single a single point which is interesting because there used to be lighting systems like this and Austin used to be one of the towns using it. Single point systems. Yeah. And it's called a military giant voice solution. An American signal corporation is one of the manufacturers. The bombing of Pearl Harbor sparked new security concern and a need was created to

1:26:31 What, wait a minute, what year are we? A need was created to warn of impending air attacks. The solution was the development of a civil defense siren. That's where the stem's from. Yeah, but... Established, yeah, anyway... Come on, it's 2013, send me a text. Giant voice systems are being installed on many bases today such as Nellis Air Force, Fort Belvoir, Redstone Arsenal, Aberdeen and many more. Await instructions from the giant voice system. Do not attempt to use Facebook. Await the giant voice system. I mean, John, they're putting this message on Facebook. Yes, I know. You need to listen to the giant voice system. And the giant voice system is a huge pole that looks like it's about 20 stories, 30 stories high. Yeah. It's got a bunch of PA, a bunch of horns. It's a big hip hop subwoofer. And it's got a bunch of, it's got usually some, some solar cells.

1:27:29 and I guess it's got a bunch of guy wires. Somebody could just cut one of the guy wires and the giant voice system is done. The giant voice system. I see, I'm looking at it. I'm looking at it. The guy wire is holding it up. Military giant voice solutions. It can be used for tsunami warning, nuclear warning. Amusement parks. Really? Does it say amusement? Yes, it does. Campgrounds. Oh yeah. Golf courses. Community warning system? Oh, okay, here we go. Wow, isn't that cool?

1:28:18 I mean that's just so it's where you tied it in with that 1989 thing it was good but it made me think of that and and they literally say impacted by that thing well I'm like you nine yeah well it was good well it was good you know because you listen how you like that'll never happen We don't actually have a giant voice system telling us to stay inside and lock the doors. Especially if you live on a military base. How crazy is that? Wow. Who came up with this? Because of Pearl Harbor. Give me a break. Talk about a lame sales pitch. Established as the Biersach & Niedermeyer Corporation in 1873.

Senate Midnight Budget Session, Foreign Policy Amendments

The U.S. Senate passed a budget resolution during a marathon session ending at 3:00 AM. Senator Robert Menendez is heard criticizing the practice of voting on "fundamental" foreign policy and national security amendments in the middle of the night without committee oversight. The hosts mock the exhausted appearance of the senators during the C-SPAN broadcast.

senate· budget resolution· midnight session· foreign policy· middle east

1:29:05 We began manufacturing sirens and control systems in 1942. After being awarded a contract to manufacture sirens for the United States Department of Army, over 2,000 sirens were produced to be installed in the Pacific Theater for our troops and air bases. Now we use them for slaves. The giant voice system. Patent pending. So, the Senate, by a vote of 50 to 49 passed some lame budget and if you read the rundown on it, all it managed to accomplish was increase taxes by $1 trillion and

1:29:47 uh... step put a uh... an iron dome over all the spending cuts that were prepared to do that was about to have a little recall of the iron dome of spending no i i did not mind so uh... so at so i'm sure i'm going to bed on friday night and i just so have now maybe some months he spent a minute i turn c spent c spent live from the senate at midnight three a m in the morning they were arguing over this bill and they are everybody was there and everybody looks at we're talking 3 to 330 and I guess it went on for a couple more hours they all look plastered and tired and it was the funniest thing I've ever seen but what's weird about it is that both the Democrats and Republicans well first let's see let's play I got two clips

1:30:38 I got US Senate at work and the other one's US okay play this is the US Senate at work at 3 in the morning so you get an idea of how this was going number 709, Portman number 154, Leahy number 710, side by side to Senator Inhofe number 139 and Inhofe number 139 there be no second degree amendments in order prior to the votes in relation to any of these amendments. That none of the amendments be divisible notwithstanding all time having expired on the resolution there be two minutes equally divided. Hey buddy, you got anything to drink?

1:31:25 Yo, Dvorak, you got anything to add? They actually had at one time somebody came up with an objection saying that he says we need, can we use, can we turn on our electronic equipment? They wanted to put his laptop on so they could play Angry Birds or something. It was really funny. But let this play out so you can understand. Yeah, sure. Is there an objection? You serve the right to object. I will not object. Senator from New Jersey. I will not object, but I do want our colleagues to understand that some of these amendments that the chair lady just asked to be put in order, incredibly fundamental, important foreign policy issues that you do not do at 3 in the morning and change the dynamics of the Middle East, change the dynamics of our national security and interests and international organizations, that's what some of these amendments will do.

1:32:21 And you don't do it in a budget process, you do it through regular order in a committee that ultimately can hear both sides as we have succeeded so far in this session in a very bipartisan way. So I will not object because of the gentlelady's effort to get us to a conclusion, but I will be urging all of our colleagues to oppose all of those amendments because this is foreign policy on the fly and it is dangerous. Okay, you can kill it. So, by the way, the chairman, the person running the Senate, they kept tag-teaming. There's different people coming in. The other ones had to go take a nap.

CHAPTER 23 / 38 Discussion

Voter ID Amendment, Senator David Vitter

During the late-night Senate budget session, Senator David Vitter proposed an amendment requiring photo IDs for federal elections. The amendment was opposed by Democratic senators who argued it would disenfranchise voters and was inappropriate for a budget resolution debated at 3:15 AM. The hosts highlight the absurdity of the "vote-a-rama" process.

david vitter· voter id· senate· budget resolution· disenfranchisement

1:32:57 So they had this budget, the Senate finally had a budget and all they were doing, both sides, the Democrats and Republicans, were essentially adding all kinds of weird crap, like tons of weird crap about our status with Israel, how we're spending our money over here, should we get some, we have to buy more bullets, we have to do this, we have to do that. And it got so ridiculous, and I got only one clip out of the dozens that took place, and they voted on each one of these with a roll call vote and you have to just hear this one and this in this case is a Republican then this is the clip ludicrous US Senate action the vitter from Louisiana comes up and does this. Move to reconsider. Without objection so ordered. There are two minutes equally divided prior to a vote on amendment number 526 offered by Mr. Vitter. Thank you. Thank you Mr. President.

1:33:53 Mr. President, this amendment would require photo IDs to participate in federal elections. That is allowed now by states. However, the present Justice Department is trying to virtually shut down this practice unreasonably by opposing it. in many, many states. This would clarify that and mandate the federal IDs just as we do in many other less consequential acts like air travel. And I ask for the ayes and nays. Mr. President? Mr. President? Senator, is there a sufficient second? There appears to be sufficient seconds. The yeas and nays are honored. Senator from Washington. Mr. President, voter photo identification laws are overly burdensome and have the ability to disenfranchise voters. We should not attempt to institute these policies nationwide, especially at 3.15 in the morning on a budget resolution. I recommend my colleagues oppose this amendment. The clerk will call the roll.

1:34:55 Mr. Alexander. Aye. Ms. Ayotte. Aye. Ms. Baldwin. Aye. That goes on for 10 more minutes. But it's like this was what was going on at 3 and 4 in the morning. Well of course they're trying to do it when no one's looking. Yeah, trying to pull these things and so they're finally when I think who knows what's in there when it finally got finished and passed all we know because of the according to the New York Times and other sources all we know since we haven't gotten in our hands is that taxes have gone up by a trillion dollars. This is unbelievable, these people. So what was, um, do we have a bill number? Because this didn't, this didn't come, I haven't seen the bill number. It's the Senate budget resolution and it's... Oh, that's why it didn't come through. So you'd have to look it up that way. Well, of course I have to look this up. This is nuts. And then, yeah. But of course, you know, they have to still be reconciled with the House. John, hold on. Yes, I understand. But let's make a deal, you and I.

1:35:54 You know, I don't care if it's 3 in the morning for you. I don't care. Well, that was probably midnight for you, right? There's 3 in the morning. Okay. I don't care what time so that would have been 2 in the morning for me. I don't care. You call me. You turn on the giant voice system. The giant voice system? And you let me know, because I need to read this stuff. I need to give people a rundown. And they must have published something, although I can't find a link that easily. Yeah, well, I don't think it's out yet. So there's no hurry, because you'll get to it before. Well, it's crucial that this is what I do for the people. I didn't need to get woken up at 3 in the morning. Actually, it would have been good, because I could have tag-teamed you. Hey, and tell me if anything else happens, and I'd go to bed. Right. Of course, I'd take over. No problem.

CHAPTER 24 / 38 Discussion

Marketplace Fairness Act, Internet Sales Tax

Senate Bill 336, the Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013, is introduced as a federal effort to mandate the collection of sales tax for online purchases across state lines. The hosts note that major retailers like Walmart and Target support the bill to eliminate the price advantage of online-only competitors. They mock the list of Senate sponsors, including Senators Enzi, Durbin, and Alexander.

marketplace fairness act· internet tax· amazon· senate· sales tax

1:36:33 But it was like oh my god. What is wrong with these people who are they think they're kidding with the with the way they operate? So I was funny to see him though because he's got heat so I came across a bill that the text of it by itself But also just the name I was like, oh my god, it finally happened. Now, I know this is going to be a little difficult for you to discuss, but I'm very serious about this. So, you know, if you need to go, do it quickly and get it over with. Oh, brother. Okay, thank you. So in the book Atlas Shrugged... Oh! Do the brother part. Brother. What was, this is a question for you, because I know you read the book as you've proclaimed.

1:37:23 What was one of the main reasons for the industrial the captains of industry to disappear themselves? What was it was that was their essential protest because again? Against the incompetence of everybody. Well, it was legislation. Do you remember that reared and steel? had to sell to competitors or anyone that the government forced him to. Yeah, this is what happened with AIG. It was under the fairness legislation. Right. So here is Senate Bill 336, the Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013. And this is essentially the grab on web money.

1:38:13 So if this is the internet tax, but of course it has to be called the Marketplace Fairness Act. No, they do great. Actually I don't know even know when this began because I don't remember this sort of thing back in the 50s or 60s or 70s when I was a little kid. They do a great job of naming stuff so it's just the opposite of what it really says. Right, so it's nothing but... So it's easy to figure out. I know, but the fact that it's called... I mean, I'm literally living inside. The Marketplace Fairness Act, for those of you who want to know what it is, it is essentially if you buy something over the internet from another state, then the government, not the local, but you know, it'll be sanctioned by the federal government, they will force you to pay taxes on that. And it's a little unclear as how that's going to happen, but I think it may involve people with brown shirts knocking on your door.

1:39:16 Well right now. Did you order something from Amazon Mr. Curry? Right now in California for example. It's again. It's like you're supposed to pay your use tax, right? Yeah, there's a use tax you pay so if you're buying a bunch of crap from Amazon You have to know if it is taxable or not and then you have to voluntarily put the tax on your tax There's only one guy in the world I know who does that. Who? Leo. He does? Yes! Yes! He's said it several times. I would do it, except that I buy everything in Washington and they have some other system up there. Yeah, sure. Okay.

1:39:56 I would, I would gladly do it but except the complexity of it. Yeah, it's just a form John, it's not that big of a deal. In Oregon there is no sales tax so what happens to the Oregonians? Do they get screwed or do they get a better deal than I do? No, no. What's the deal? What happens? Well the way you don't get screwed is by buying from Walmart who of course is behind this Marketplace Fairness Act. Target, these are the people who were putting this together. Who introduced this? Mr. Enzi. for himself, Mr. Durbin, Mr. Alexander, Mr. Rockefeller, man, it doesn't surprise me. Ms. Feinstein, Mr. Whitehouse, Mr. Blunt, we got a Mr. Blunt in the Senate? Oh yeah, Blunt, Blunt's on all the time. Blunt, hey man. My voice. I love how it literally says Mr. Reed, Mr. Blunt, Mr. Whitehouse. Are they kidding with me? Are they just trying to mess with my head? Oh, wait a minute, no, literally, Mr. Boozman,

1:40:59 Alright, Mr. Johnson? This is, it's like, it's all like double entendre. Okay, this is crazy. I'm reading it in order, literally. Mr. Boozman, Mr. Reed, Mr. Blunt, Mr. Whitehouse, Mr. Corker, Mr. Pryor, Richard, Mr. Rockefeller. That's funny. Wow. Bunch of stoners and boozeheads making up the Fairness Act. Well, needless to say, no fairness for us in that. I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. On No Agenda, let's all be from the morning. Alright, let's start with thanking a few people who kept us going and show 498.

Listener Success Stories, Schiphol Airport Wi-Fi

A TV writer credits the "No Agenda" Wi-Fi at Schiphol Airport for a successful meeting in Hilversum that saved his pilot from BBC ownership. Another listener, a former soldier, shares how the show led him to retire from the military and cancel his cable. A "Black Knight" producer, Dave Koss, receives karma after suffering a blood clot and being served "Mac and Cheese" in the hospital.

1:45:13 Number one. Hey Adam says Ben Oliver. I'm a writer for TV and just made a pilot now I'm struggling to get it aired because I don't like the taste of penis and keep turning down product placement which That's mainstream for you, baby. Which is supposed to be banned on the BBC. So apparently he's in the UK and getting introduced. Oh, really? Yeah, so essentially they're trying to get product placed which is supposed to be banned by the BBC, but he's refusing to put it in his pilot because he doesn't like the taste of penis. I've just come back from Hilversum on an unrelated job and noticed while I was there it's media central in Holland. So I emailed a friend of mine to set up a meeting. It went well and they agreed to make a couple more episodes when the BBC's ownership of it runs out in a few months. Here's an all caps. I would not have had this meeting were it not for the no agenda airport Wi-Fi at Schiphol.

1:46:11 So as a thank you, I am now a $5 a month subscriber. It's not much, but until I become a mogul, it's all I've got. Also, when you become a mogul, I want to bit part in one of these shows. Yeah, we want to be in your show. And we like the taste of penis, so we'll do anything to get on. Speak for yourself. It's been easy to hit people in the mouth since you nailed the Pope prediction.

And so he's also now on a, he actually sent, he did a, I should probably play that. He did, he took our PSA, remember we did PSAs? Yeah. And he's like, I've enhanced them for you. It's pretty bad. But since he's a monthly subscriber and since he quit the armed forces and canceled his cable for us, I think we should play his PSA. So you're at a party just hanging out having a great time when someone goes, hey, I know who we can get some

1:47:42 Like you're not already having fun, so you say, no thanks, to let them know you're not interested. And they go, what's with you? You scared?

Knighting Ceremony, Peerage Pin System

David Killian is knighted as "Sir David Killian," and Tanya Wyman is elevated to "Baroness Dame Tanya Wyman" with a claim over Manhattan. A new proposal for a tiered pin system is discussed, where the background color of the "No Agenda" pin would change as a producer ascends through the levels of peerage, culminating in a gold pin for Grand Dukes.

knighthood· peerage· david killian· tanya wyman· pins

1:50:29 Uh, so here is where you go for all of your options. Um... I don't think we have any birthdays. Am I just playing the jingle for no birthdays? Woo! Good job, Curry. Wow. Well, that's weird. Okay, um well we have a nighting then we have an instant night today So I would very happy to do that of course this is for the no agenda pins the night pins which are Is Eric working on these

1:51:17 we're all working on it. The whole Dvorak family is working on it. By the way, I will say this. Yes? The pins are leading me to the following idea. Okay. We can have a meeting. Well, let's knight someone first and then we'll have the meeting. David Killman, step forward my friend. You are an ensign. We are very happy to welcome you to the elites table. The no agenda knights and dames. So please, Uh, let me, uh, here you go. Neil and I pronounce thee Sir David Killian. Knight of the Noah-Jenner Roundtable, for you Sir Hercus and Blow, Ramp Boys and Chardonnay, Hot Pants and Booze, Wenches and Beer, Rubin-Ess, Luminar and Rose, Geishas and Sake, Vodka and Vanilla, Bong Hits and Bourbon, Sparkling Cider and Escorts, Mutton and Mead, and if you are into it, Breastmilks and Pavlov.

1:52:04 Welcome into the illustrious club and of course, this is just the start of many levels of peerage which you can achieve here at the NOAH Agenda Podcast known as The Best Podcast in the Universe! And we welcome Dame Tanya Wyman into a new peerage level as she now becomes Baroness Dame Tanya Wyman. This is due to her long-term support of the program. And as you know, anything, any, all of our peerage can claim responsibility for an area, for a geographic area. She would like to claim the borough of Manhattan, leaving four more boroughs over.

1:52:43 for other Barons and Baronesses and of course Archdukes I think if you're a Duke or an Archduke then you can claim all of New York State and then Dame Baroness Tanya. Yes, she works under you. Yes, Baroness Tanya would be but you know the Baroness could become the next Duke of New York. Is it Duke or is it Duchess? Duchess the Duchess of New York Duchess of New York how hot with how hot is that sound I am the Duchess of New York lick my boots and you could have a card made and you'll have the little pin so here's what I'm thinking so we're gonna have this pin You said that just like the guy selling the FBI kit to little Timmy You can have a card made you're now an FBI agent

1:53:31 So you have this pin that's going to be identifiable to other No Agenda listeners and it's going to have the what I'm thinking is that the pin will not be a single pin it will be a series of pins that will have different backgrounds colors. Oh a series oh yeah okay keep going I love it. So you have a pin for you have your knighthood pin. This is like the fruit salad it's the No Agenda fruit salad. so you have your knighthood pin which may have I don't know what color black background white perhaps or maybe black for the black Knights or maybe just white and then when you move up the ladder to Baronet or actually go to Baron and then Earl and all the rest the background color begins to change. Nice. So when you're up at the top of the heap you have a different pin in fact I think the Grand Duke

1:54:21 Duke, which is the top thing you can have in any system. Yes. I think that will be a gold pin. Oh man. It'll just be gold. Just solid. You can bite in it and it just bends. You could do that. So we have to... but now we have to find someone that can make that line of pins. Well can we get the same people who do our bags? China they make one thing bags Bags not pins bags not pins we make bag not pin. Yeah

Library of Congress, Show Notes Legacy

The hosts discuss the long-term value of the "No Agenda" show notes, suggesting they serve as a historical resource that should be archived in the Library of Congress. They joke about the stereotypical image of librarians and the process of "Library Science" required to preserve digital media collections.

library of congress· show notes· archive· legacy· librarians

1:54:59 Okay. But they probably have a relative who makes pins. My cousin make pin. Good deal. Very good deal. I give you a good deal. Okay, so when can we expect these? Because I'm... Sometime before the end of the year. Oh, we can get it sooner. No, we haven't... You have to realize it took us two years to get the rings underway. So this is on high speed. And I'd like to say that people have to understand, the only product we are actually good at making is this show. Right. Everything else except for the show notes because that's kind of a part of making the show. It's you know it's it's an it's the process that's a part of it which I'll point out I do. You do what? I'd make the show notes. I do all of that. You do the show notes are the best part.

1:55:44 And someday in the future, those show notes, even though the show will be long forgotten, those show notes will be a resource, probably in some major library. That is actually our legacy, is it not? I think the show notes are the legacy. You guys gassing on the radio is zip. The show notes should be in the Library of Congress. Yeah, they should. How do we petition for that? I think we'll end up getting a Library of Congress librarian listening to the show one day and then she will say, well, you know, that's a good idea. I'll work it in. Oh, that's great. Does anyone know a librarian? Is that who works there, librarians at the Library of Congress? Yeah, they're all librarians. Someone has to make the decision. It's not just willy-nilly. Library science, my friend. It's not just willy-nilly.

1:56:29 It's not just up to some librarian to just put whatever they want in there, is it? I think it's some of the smaller... The Library of Congress consists of a whole bunch of collections. There are different curators for different collections, or maybe they curate more than one. And I think if you just have the right curator, somebody who has a collection of media stuff, for example, examples of media, they would take the show notes and put them in a box. box yeah hey do you think the librarians at the Library of Congress have their hair up in a bun with like on rim glasses and they're really hot and you're right right head yes and the hair goes flying in the next thing you know oh my now hello are you crackpot by any chance why yes I am

1:57:16 Let me show you the back room. or first quarter, no they're on a semester now, that teaches you how to do the head shake. It takes a whole semester, it's amazingly hard. If you want to learn how to do the head shake, send me a head shot and then I'll see if we can put you through admissions and then I'll teach you. Okay.

Michael Bloomberg, NYC Drone Surveillance

Mayor Michael Bloomberg predicts that spy drones will eventually patrol New York City, comparing their inevitability to the "tides coming in." A CBS News report features a civil liberties advocate who argues that while public spying is expected, the government should not keep permanent records. The "Ring of Steel" program, which integrates private and police cameras, is highlighted as the current surveillance standard.

michael bloomberg· drones· surveillance· privacy· ring of steel

1:57:54 I take you to New York City, ladies and gentlemen. Earlier we heard from the midget known as Mayor Bloomberg, the Oompa Loompa of Manhattan, who of course is going to force you into a mandatory sanity check on his giant voice system, no doubt. He'll put one of those up on the Empire State Building. perfect but he has a new york it's time to check your sanity mayor bloomberg has his own radio show on WOR in in New York and over the weekend he did it you know it's it's not easy it's more him answering questions it's usually

1:58:46 Pretty boring. But CBS News did a segment on his show this weekend, which was, well, I mean, to say brazen is just too short of a word. And we already have thousands of cameras all over New York City, but could more surveillance be on the way? Mayor Bloomberg predicts security cameras and even spy drones will keep chipping away at our personal space. CBS2's Alice Gaynor is live in Times Square with why this has some people concerned. Now, this is an interesting report. Of course, this is the telescreen talking to you people. This is Mockingbird saying exactly what they should. So first of all, she says, you know, some people are concerned. But then listen to the reporter who's standing on Times Square with a drone flying overhead. Good morning, Alice.

1:59:35 Good morning. If you constantly feel like you're being watched, chances are you probably are, at least if you're on the streets here in New York City, and it may not end with those mounted cameras you see up and around the city here. There is talk now of possibly using drones. You've seen the cameras attached to light poles around New York City streets, a constant reminder that someone is always watching. Everybody wants their privacy. I don't know how you're going to maintain it. And Mayor Bloomberg says... That is the Oompa Loompa mayor, by the way, who just said, I don't know how you're going to maintain your privacy. I mean, what are you talking about? It seems it may not end with mounted cameras. It's just we're going into a different world, uncharted, and like it or not, what people can do or governments can do is different. And you can, to some extent, control, but you can't keep the tides from coming in.

2:00:33 How about that, huh? Like it or not, slave. It gets a little better even. And what the tide may be bringing in are drones, unmanned aircraft that can shoot live video. They can also shoot live rounds, but that's left out of the report. So how is the Oompa Loompa miniature midget mayor going to justify having drones fly over the island of Manhattan, but of course they'll be all over the state of New York, but he's only responsible for New York. What's the difference whether the drone is up in the air or on the building? What's the difference? What's your problem? There's a drone on the side of the building. It's just called a camera. There's no difference if it's a drone flying around. I mean, intellectually, I'd have trouble making a distinction. You know, it's intellectual. Because you're an idiot. Intellectually, you know, maybe one is flying, you asshole. Drones are being used by law enforcement in other cities. This is video out of Poland filmed by a drone hovering above. It's Pol- Poland. Hello, Poland.

2:01:36 By the way, what city? Poland's rather large, ladies. ...of a huge protest. The drone can capture details like faces and license plate numbers. Woohoo! Party! It's the time! ...back here in Manhattan, the New York Civil Liberties Union has documented nearly 2,400 surveillance cameras and says the idea of drones are a huge concern. It's disappointing. Listen to this woman. This is the shill who is the civil liberties whatever in New York and she's the one that is going to say that this is wrong, but she's not. She's saying something, in fact, she's on board with the program. The idea of drones are a huge concern. It's disappointing that the mayor exhibits such disdain for the legitimate concerns of New Yorkers about their privacy. So far so good. None of us expect

2:02:27 that will go unseen when we're out on the street. None of us expects to go unseen when we're out on the street. Why would you expect to have any privacy when you're walking around? But we also have a right to expect that the government isn't making a permanent record. So, this is the person on your side feels it's okay for the government to spy on you as long as they don't keep a permanent record. And let's get the logic straight on this. What is the point if you're not making a record of doing this in the first place? Well, we have a now we had a camera on him. Oh, do you show us some of the footage? Well, we just had a camera on him. We really didn't make a Finney film. We just had a camera on him. That's all we did. This is all because of what good is it? Because this is all part of the ring of steel.

2:03:22 And something worth mentioning the NYPD has integrated their security cameras with private companies in lower Manhattan Fantastic a program known as the ring of steel So it's the only way for right now to stay out of the view of big brother is to stay inside That's right. Stay inside lock your doors Do not worry Your security officer will be allowed to take your urine samples. Do not contaminate the urine samples or you will be shot. The giant voice system will tell you when it's okay. When will people stop to realize that this is actually happening?

CHAPTER 30 / 38 Discussion

Generational Passivity, Cutting in Line

A discussion on social etiquette focuses on the "cutting in line" phenomenon, with a claim that people under 40 are too passive to confront those who skip ahead. This passivity is attributed to the modern school system. The hosts contrast this with Texas, where they claim social politeness is enforced by the prevalence of concealed carry.

generational gap· passivity· social norms· texas· etiquette

2:04:04 I think it's weird. I had a discussion at the dinner table last night. And who was this with? It was JC and his fiancée. And so he was mentioning, this came up in a conversation we were talking about Epithets and and how it's generationally changed a bit where people can call you a name or something and sometimes it's meaningful sometimes it's not but that Let's have an example just so we're at the point of the conversation in this you know what an epithet is you asshole Oh, yes, I understand. Thank you prick So, Dick, so you know and some of these have more impact than others on different kinds of people and but that but the conversation turned to the cutting in line phenomenon. He makes the claim that anybody under the age of 40

2:04:54 You can cut in front of them in line and they will be so flabbergasted that they won't know what to do and they won't call you on it as opposed to what I would usually do. And he says, yeah, your generation does, Mimi does, Mimi will cut someone out for doing it. And I will, somebody cuts right in front of me, let's say in line, I will tap him on the shoulder and say, I'm in line, you're behind me. And I would give him the thumb and tell him to move. Right unless they were a healthy boy has this changed somehow is is cutting line a problem he went under the age and Jacy's entire generation He claims that you can cut in line if you if you cut in line to somebody that's about 35 years old or younger and if you look far enough back and there's nobody in their 50s

2:05:39 that will go from the back of the line and go, hey up there, no cutting! He says nobody will say anything because they have no training to say, they don't know what to... I'm sorry, alright, I need to interject. While this may be true in the People's Republic of California, did you come and try that crap in Texas, son? and then put a cap in your ass. You are just saying that. No, no. There is no cutting in line here because all you will hear is the slide of nine millimeter glocks. You're like you won't be able to witness this because unless you're someplace outside of the line. I'm telling you that I would like to get some input from some Texas youngsters. No one cuts in line. No one cuts in line in Texas. No one.

2:06:23 Okay, I'm just telling you. You know why? Because we're polite. And the other thing is by the way, the West Coast leads the way in culture. Yeah, the West Coast, those are the a-holes of the country. Yes! Argument done. Onward with the next topic. I'm just saying, this is a phenomenon that's going on that people should be aware of. The cutting in line? No, the whole thing, this passive nature of anyone who was raised from any of the X-Gen, Y-Gen, this group from 40 and younger or 35 and younger, this group is so passive. And this is the answer to your question, why doesn't America wake up?

2:07:07 Well, here's the reason because we have trained all the school system and everything else has trained these kids to be very passive do what the government says and blah blah blah and then you so you know it's hopeless there's nothing short of I don't know what that's gonna change anything and so the drones are gonna be coming in and Have all these idiots like that guy that we had that clip from a couple years ago with the list a crazy kid I don't know. I it's better to be safe. It's better to be safe. What are you gonna do? I don't know what clip was that safe? What clip was that? It's a clip I can go get it again. It was done in the clip show too It's this kid who's accused of some guys about 25 Maybe he's got this horrible speech impediment and he's going and he says okay to be frisked and then shaken down at the airport well, it's

2:07:52 What are you going to do? It's better to be safe. It's better to be safe. I want to hear this clip again. Get it. Oh, this search show notes is all messed up now. Years, I got five years of clips. There's thousands of them. We put so much effort into this show. It's a surprise that we even can manage to produce it. Well, yeah, it is really I mean and you know what the problem is we make it look so easy Well, that's cuz we're pros. Yeah, but that's but that's why people forget That's funny. I get like patch Dev main dot lisp. I've got like lisp files My computer this is not good lists Would be lisps How would if you were to name that clip, what would you name it?

Seconds to Spare, CIA Drug Money Movie

The hosts review a 2002 Australian film titled "Seconds to Spare," mocking its poor acting and production quality. They highlight a specific scene where a character accuses the CIA of using drug money to fund covert operations, noting how "No Agenda" themes occasionally appear in fictional media.

2:08:44 Idiot idiots That's the problem. We have way too many clips named idiot because I I sensely find a lot of idiot clips So I'm watching Australian TV. Yes, and there's a movie they're showing which is an Australian produced movie. I've never seen it before called Seconds to spare and there's a there's some good exam I got a few clips from it, but I got I just do and one's a kicker, but I do want to play the bad acting clip ah They'll play bad acting the first one not number two, but the first one bad acting seconds to spare you a little bad acting action Are you there?

2:09:29 You didn't leave me any choice. We had a deal. What kind of a deal did you make with those people that killed at the facility? I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Well, I'm guessing you didn't go there just to destroy the facility. These people were not in the same room when they did this scene. No, they were actually supposed to be over the phone. But anyway, so here, you can skip that one because the better one is bad acting 2. Of course, it's the sequel. I don't know who this guy is, where he comes from, or what he wants. We wait for him to come to us now. Nobody goes after him. Is that clear? We need more towels. We need more towels? Yeah. Hey, listen, while we're in the middle of this, let me just give you some titles. You tell me if you think that's it. Okay? Idiotic clip? No. Hilarious idiot democracy now?

2:10:20 No. Another idiot, The View? No. WTF is this idiot? Bobby Rush idiot? No, try WTF and see what that is. Okay, let's see. WTF is this idiot? Okay. Come on, load. Developed. Finally have guidelines that you have applied. No, that's not going to be it, right? That's just an idiot. Yeah, that's just an idiot kid? That might be it. On Lenny? On Lenny or Leno? Lenny's diversity opinions faith Rick Santorum talks no that's not gonna be it McCain idiot Rick Perry is an idiot idiot from Minnesota yeah let me check I gotta read to the rethink my military actions I disagree no that would be a congressional idiot yes mostly American idiot oh that's one of your Green Day songs

2:11:14 That's too bad. Unfortunately... I'll find an example to play it on a future show. So anyway, let's play the kicker. Now here's what I like. This was, I think, this movie was done in 2002, something like that. I just find it interesting that one of our basic theses shows up in a movie because apparently it's impossible to actually do this in any other way other than with cornball fiction and by the way this is a crappy film. So hold on what is our basic thesis? You'll hear it in the clip and you can ring the bell when you hear it. Seconds to spare kicker. Oh kicker okay here we go. Police have a man on the emergency line claiming to be on our train.

2:11:54 Commander Haggerty here. Who is this? My name is Blake. I'm on board a train headed for Sydney. I'm listening. We've been hijacked How many hijackers I'm only guessing but I say maybe five or six of them you're American Is that a problem? Not yet. You got a first name. Mr. Blake. Listen, you can check me out later for now We have to find a way to stop this train. Who are you? Paul Thomas Blake That never happened.

Cyprus Banking Crisis, EU Ultimatum

The BBC reports on the escalating banking crisis in Cyprus, where the European Central Bank has issued an ultimatum regarding emergency liquidity assistance. A proposed "raid on deposits" to fund a bailout has caused political turmoil and fears of a total banking collapse. The segment explores the possibility of Cyprus being forced out of the Eurozone.

cyprus· european central bank· bailout· bank run· liquidity

2:12:49 You're using drug money to fund covert CIA operations. That's pretty good. Mmm Wow, it's not clear for the day, but it's good. It's good. It's definitely good. I'm sorry I'm still like trying to find your your list No, I'm just trying I we can't complete this show without talking about what I think is happening in in Cyprus You know the apparently they have well here's a little rundown from the BBC on where we're at with the banking situation in Cyprus It's actually it's quite good the way this douche knuckle explains it But it's so matter-of-factly that you need to stop and take a second and think well hold on a second the banks are doing poorly and

2:13:44 So therefore the European Union has to come in and rescue them, the banks, instead of letting the banks go bankrupt. And this apparently, one way or the other it's on the backs of the people, whether it's through austerity measures such as Greece and Portugal and Spain, or it's, and the Netherlands by the way, or it's right up front and they just take some of your money. and I think the deadline I guess is this Monday. Well they didn't manage it last time and essentially we are looking at something of a repeat of what occurred over the last weekend which is that the ECB has laid down an ultimatum, they said that you have to meet our demands within this time frame, if you don't do it then we're going to cut off the assistance that

2:14:29 that Cypriot banks desperately need to keep functioning at this point in time. That's the emergency liquidity assistance. So it's kind of a repeat of what happened last week. Now, what is definitely politically a problem this time around, and we've had that absolutely confirmed, is a raid on deposits. That just appears to be completely off the table. If you can't do that, of course, your options start to look more limited for actually raising the cash. So there's a good chance that Cyprus may not actually be able to get to the point of agreeing to a deal as of now. And if they don't meet the deadline, and the liquidity support gets taken away that's the end of their time in the euro is it? They're out. It does start to look like that and it becomes very hard to function when inside the euro when your banking system is collapsed you have banks that would then need urgently recapitalizing stocking up with... Okay so I think that a lot of this is bullcrap about who cares about Cyprus but we know from our

CHAPTER 33 / 38 Discussion

Geopolitics of Natural Gas, Russia-China Deal

The Cyprus crisis is linked to the Leviathan gas field and the competition between Russian and Western pipelines. Russia recently signed a major energy deal with China after ten years of stalled negotiations, which the hosts interpret as a strategic response to EU pressure on Russian money in Cyprus. A theory is proposed that American energy interests may be collaborating with Russia to undermine European energy independence.

natural gas· gazprom· turkey· russia· china

2:15:21 extensive research that Cyprus is quite interesting in the global game and I'm going to lay out a couple of things John I want you to kind of help me through this because I haven't been able to completely figure it out so there was you know talk of course a lot of the money there is it's a tax haven for Russian money and Does not like Cyprus in fact Russia's friend is Turkey and the reason why is if you look at all the gas prom pipelines You'll see they all go through Turkey. They've you know Turkey the Russians go to Turkey on vacation Turkey, you know has the biggest exporters to Russia Russia and Turkey they are they are buds and

2:16:15 Cyprus, of course, has been targeted and we know that we have Houston oil companies, American warships, all kind of circling around Cyprus for the Leviathan gas field, which will have to start pumping and Cyprus actually has some claim to that. which will start pumping gas through Cyprus, through Greece, bypassing Turkey, going into Italy, going into Europe, of course, the largest customer. Now, there's really only two big customers that matter for natural gas. Three if you count Japan, but that's geography is a little complicated. So we have Europe.

2:16:55 And Europe is very dependent upon Russian gas. This is why Lucifer, Clinton, Hillary, and the no-neck monster Baroness Ashton went to the Balkans to secure the pipeline deal so they can have their own pipeline independent of the Russians coming up from the south. And of course, that actually competes with the Russian south stream. It feels to me now that the and this is brand new that Russia has now for the first time in God What is it? How long are there more than 10 years?

2:17:36 of talks and this is right after then this is no one's talking about this in the news so right after there's this potential threat of big Russian money being seized in Cyprus which I would have to say you know is a big attack from the European Union on Russia which seems kind of dumb or maybe they're trying to weasel Russia out Russia turns right around and signs a deal with China to deliver all these natural resources, oil and gas. And this is 10 years they haven't been able to figure it out, this happens and boom now all of a sudden this deal is done. I'm somehow thinking, knowing how important the Chinas are to Europe as well,

CHAPTER 34 / 38 Discussion

UK Natural Gas Shortage, Russian Energy Leverage

Due to an extended cold snap, the United Kingdom is reportedly down to two days of natural gas reserves. The hosts discuss Russia's potential leverage over Europe through its control of gas supplies. They debate whether Russia would actually cut off the UK or if they would use the crisis to demonstrate their "generosity" and reliability as a supplier.

united kingdom· natural gas· energy crisis· russia· pipelines

2:18:23 I'm thinking that in the back, and this may be weird and you're gonna have to set me straight John, I think that our American elites, the American oil and gas establishment is working in cahoots with Russia to fuck Europe. Well there's a couple possibilities here. First let's throw a couple other little maybe truisms in. First of all if you're going to You make an announcement that you're going to take 10% of the savings from the Cyprus banks and you don't actually do it and then announce it. In other words, you do it in advance.

2:18:59 you're actually setting up a run on the banks to break the country. Right, so exactly. So this was done the same way if you notice with it with how they screwed with Greece who wasn't they weren't playing ball either so they did what they could to create bank runs and do all these things to screw the country even though Greece as we know is the most productive of all the European nations in terms of individual productivity which was documented over and over again so there's something going on. Now the Russians in Russia the Russians who put their money in Cyprus are not necessarily in the part of the same clan. So this may have been done to specifically screw the Russians who are expats living in Europe or doing some other kinds of deals working on both sides of the fence putting their money not in Russia in a Russian bank where it would actually could be recycled a little bit but they've moved the money offshore and put it most of it in Cyprus and

2:19:53 and this which kind of fall into play if we're trying to screw you know the russians want to screw those guys well i killed that this could also start like a war i mean this is not this is not a minor thing was i can start much of a war if we're in bed with the russians well mhm okay well it's turkey the european turkey the turks are always you know they're pretty aggressive yeah they could be bombing somebody tomorrow but uh... In fact, there was a novel written by a famous Turk called World War III where he outlined the potential for a third world war developing from a battle that began by the Turks in the Middle East. Yeah, it wouldn't be the first time. Right. So let me just add another data point as you work through this with me. Another data point is that because of the extreme

2:20:46 Cold, the length of the cold period now in Euro land, Britain is on the brink of running out of natural gas. And that's partially because, let's see, there was a pipeline disruption, get ready for this people, the pipeline from, let me just see if I can find this. One of the Scandinavian partners, I think, had a pipeline disruption. It appears that the United Kingdom, an island, is down to only two days out of reserves on natural gas. So it would be very easy for, I think, Russia to go, nyet.

2:21:35 Yeah, but I don't think they'd do that. Well, they have done it with Lithuania, they've done it with other countries. Yeah, but doing it with Great Britain is like asking for, so what would happen if they did that, which is why I don't think they will, it would bring attention to the problem of reliance on Russia. And then all these bypass pipelines would, unless we're setting them up to do that. Now that's always a possibility. That's exactly what I just said. Somehow we're in cahoots. Well I thought you said we're in cahoots with them. I didn't think we were trying to screw them by being in cahoots. Hold on a second. Can we just say as an overall global theme that any American politician or elite is pretty much out to screw everybody else regardless of how pretty we look?

2:22:17 Yes, I think that's probably true. So if we could convince the Russians to... the Russians are pretty good at geopolitics, so they're at least as good as we are. So they would spot this and try to make it backfire on us somehow, because they like doing that. And then we'd be estranged friends. Still possible, which is I think is more likely than them cutting off Britain. We'll know shortly, but I just I don't see that happening I I just don't I think they would do just the opposite and go out of their way to help them show you how generous the Russians are and Make a big deal out of it, and you know so they then the dead started lording it over everybody well if it wasn't for us should be dead by it's like we used to do with World War two and

Herman Van Rompuy, Catherine Ashton Resignations

European Council President Herman Van Rompuy and High Representative Catherine Ashton announce they will leave their posts at the end of their terms.

2:22:57 If it wasn't for the Americans, you guys would be speaking German! We've saved you twice already! We've saved you twice! What more do you want? It's gotta get old. But the Russians could pull that stuff off. The kids don't realize... Every 40 years you gotta remind the new generation though. You can't even remind them to tell somebody not to cut in line. I'm very sad. Except in Texas. I'm very, you know, I'm very sad to say we will be losing two more good friends after this year. Of course we had to say goodbye to Hillary and I hope we can keep the show on the air long enough to welcome her back. She'll be back in six months after all the healing is done.

2:23:42 After the scarring is risk after the star has faded she and she looks so you oh She took some time off and look how young she looks from taking a vacation. That's gonna be the news coverage Oh, she looks so much. She looks so refreshed What happened to her jowls haiku Herman? Yeah, he will be leaving so no well, maybe if we're lucky he might he might you know do some political haikus and Appearing on Flemish television Sunday, Euro Council President Herman Van Rompuy announced that after serving out his current second term on December 1st, he will shut the door on public politics. His family, however, will soldier on. Van Rompuy's wife is a municipal councillor and both his sons are members of the Flemish Parliament. So he will go, but probably just as sad that no neck monster, no chin monster, baroness, high priestess

2:24:41 High Representative Kathy Ashton will be leaving. Yeah, I think she's leaving because Hillary's not in the business anymore. I really think there's a connection between those two. They really liked each other. Yes, they liked each other. They may have been bosom buddies. They kind of look like each other, except she literally has no chin. She added, the job is physically taxing. Quote, it's quite hard and there's a lot of travel and a lot of sitting on planes. My dear friend Hillary Clinton, and I talked about this a few times, it is exhausting with your own plane, your own staff.

2:25:19 It's exhausting I tell you. This business of ruling the slaves is just exhausting. Hillary! Hillary! Hillary! How do you do it? How do you do it? What is your hairdresser's name? Hillary! What are you... Are you coming back? I only want to come back if I'm President of Europe. Just like Hillary. Me, one of those Muslim girls.

FRAGO 242, Iraqi Torture Documentary

The Guardian documentary "Searching for Steele" investigates FRAGO 242, a U.S. military order instructing soldiers to ignore torture committed by Iraqi authorities. The documentary explores the creation of secret police and death squads during the Iraq War. The hosts note that while this is a major story in Europe, it has been largely ignored by American mainstream media.

frago 242· wikileaks· iraq· torture· the guardian

2:25:56 So anyway, yes, that's exactly what's going on. I think we can manage. We still got Biden. We got O'Biden. That's true. That's true. Well, that's good. And we have the crazy people in the State Department press conferences. Yeah, yeah, we got some of that. We got some of that. And there's a lot of legislation coming out and we have this big Senate bill now. Luckily, luckily, luckily. Yeah, lots of stuff. I also want to talk about, not today's show, I'm going to push it off to Thursday, FRAGO 242. What? Frago 242? Can I play this? You might as well. Well, I think when the WikiLeaks documents came out in November 2011,

2:26:36 I had a sense, and the team that I work with who spent a lot of time covering the wars in Iraq, that there was a deeper story here. And one of the things that made us very interested was there was a reference to a thing called FRAGO 242, which was a fragmentary order 242, which was a US military order instructing US soldiers to ignore Iraq on Iraqi torture. Now this incident, this FRAGO 242 came up over a thousand times in the documents as we looked at it and we wondered why was this order issued and what was the story behind it and there was also references in the WikiLeaks to a General Adnan Tabat who was visiting the American Embassy. So

2:27:23 So it was a sense that there was a deeper story to tell here and that the WikiLeaks documents, because they were the actual documents and what the State Department was sending back to Washington about what was going on, that this was a real treasure trove that we should explore rather than just become excited about the means of these documents being delivered. Okay. Yes. No one cares. No, not in this country. But they're playing this documentary that The Guardian did called Searching for Steel, S-T-E-E-L-E, and there's a link in the show notes which I sent you. People can watch this thing. It's only 52 minutes. And it has that character in it, this guy from Iraq that was the, I guess the guy who ran these

2:28:07 It's a discussion of the secret police set up by our guys and a death squad and apparently tons of torture camps and it's quite fascinating. And in one of her laments, the woman who did this, who's a very famous journalist, literally. She says it's weird because the German TV's got it on, everybody's watching this Dutch, everybody's watching this documentary in one way shape or form. Here PBS doesn't give a crap. None of the networks want to even look at it. Hello, Lindsay Lohan has been arrested. What's your problem? What are you trying to watch? She goes on and on about this and I'm laughing to myself and she says there's only two outlets including Democracy Now which is like marginalized to say the least and Real TV which is that sketchy operation.

2:29:00 And so that even care and I'm saying you're right nobody cares and it's fascinating that nobody cares and I think she made a good point though when she says people weren't looking at the WikiLeaks documents to try to get some good stories out of them. They were just going wow wow somebody leaked all these documents. Yeah. Which is the way we do things and it's just it's so pathetic. I can tell you how really pathetic it is. I'll give you an example because the BBC has their own version of ignoring facts. Here's the real kicker to me. Why, I mean they do this in other countries, why haven't people like Rumsfeld and others and Cheney and others been arrested for war crimes? Are you insane? Don't say that word, I get picked up.

Punxsutawney Phil Death Penalty, Global Warming Satire

In a satirical news item, an Ohio prosecutor jokingly filed a "criminal indictment" against Punxsutawney Phil for misrepresenting the arrival of spring. The hosts use the story to mock global warming alarmism, pointing out that record cold temperatures contradict predictions that children would never see snow again.

2:29:51 Only if you say yes Just keep saying no. I'm not insane. I am NOT it We need dog tags that you know or like a medical bracelet This would be a good premium by the way anyone could make this no agenda medical bracelet that says 100% sane It's fact Fact so of course it's almost April the global warming scam has not worked because of course you know we are now going into a new ice age. Everyone can laugh all you want you know I've been saying it for years based upon you know what we learned in the 70s that was the fact back then the government is always lying to you it's always go the other they say zig you gotta zag so of course you know we can't really bring up the fact that you know it's everyone's freezing their ass off in the UK where we're supposed to have no snow

2:30:44 ever again children would only know snow globes and they would know movies with snow. That's what they said and we have that clip that proves that. Fact, fact. And by the way if there's so much record heat every year why are there only two days left of natural gas? So exactly so this is coming up so we have to distract the slaves now in America we have a guy for that. You've got something good a distraction cause We call Clooney. No, the BBC has to do something else. And of course it's something that we've done so they just report on it. Very quickly, a prosecutor in the United States who's so fed up with the bad weather that he's filed a criminal indictment against the groundhog which every February predicts when spring will start. Well this groundhog is known as Phil and he's being charged with misrepresentation of early spring and the prosecutor is recommended

2:31:48 Recommending the death penalty. That's all for now. What great news from the Bee Gees. Gonna shoot Punxsutawney Phil. And by the way, if that's how they're gonna treat the groundhog, just wait until the you weather, man. How they're gonna treat you in a little while. The shittersonry will come and shoot you. Fact. I think, let's see, Bitcoin, we already did that. I thought it was pretty funny how Just tons of... they're really trying right now. So this is... it's very beautiful to watch the manipulation of the Bitcoin community. Wonderful to see, oh guy puts his house up for 5100 bitcoins. Okay.

CHAPTER 38 / 38 Discussion

Bitcoin Volatility, Show Outro

The episode concludes with a discussion on Bitcoin's extreme volatility, noting its fluctuation between $60 and $70. The hosts remain skeptical of the currency's intrinsic value, joking about "Bitcoin ham radio" transfers. They remind listeners of the upcoming 500th episode and the "value for value" support model before signing off with a clip from "Seconds to Spare."

2:32:38 So of course that's bullcrap story. Then you just get story after story. There's no way you can make that work. Europe is running to Bitcoin and so while this on Friday's like everyone in Spain is buying up Bitcoin. Well it's so funny because the price dropped to 60. It dropped, I tracked this now, it dropped down to 60. Oh Spain's buying, well that means that people are selling it. This is totally, this makes no sense. So the fluctuation has been between 60 and 70 over the past two days. That's a pretty volatile market. So when you own one, so when you pay 60 bucks for this Bitcoin, so does that give you a piece of like some ownership in a large corporation like a stock certificate would do? No, it gives you a number. Okay, now I own this number and I can use that for, I can use that when I go to the store?

2:33:33 Well, yes, if you're going to the Health Rangers seed store at naturalnews.com. Those seeds are overpriced. If I'm going to buy seeds, I'm going to get the Burpee catalog or the Heritage Seed catalog. I'm going to buy seeds by mail order. I know who and I know how they're making money off of this. This is very simple. So first of all, you set up an exchange like Max Keiser who probably owns all of them. That's where the real money is. But that's the pain in the ass, it's like work. Yes, that's work. So he knows how to do it. He knows how to do it. I like the one so you know you can make so you can generate a Bitcoin key and then you can essentially if you can remember the number or let's say you have it engraved on some jewelry you know this is a new one the Bitcoin ring you know so you know if someone then chops off your finger then they have all your money or you can just remember it and

2:34:33 I have a genius idea, I think, and I'll cut you in for 50% because we're partners. We're partners. You sure don't just want to give the idea to the show? Done. The idea is to the show and it's a Bitcoin ham radio. So you transfer the Bitcoin through ham radio. Think about it. Yeah, I'm waiting for the money to roll in. Why did I even bring that up? All right. I am actually seeing if it can be done. I've got to be honest. Yes, I'm sure you are. I'll look forward to that. It's fun. It's fun. All right, everybody, remember, you are crazy by the new standards, so be very careful out there, everybody.

2:35:22 You wanna play a little kicker at the end when we sign off? Yeah, sure. What you got? Seconds to spare hilarious gun sequence. It's just something you can clip and use for any possible use. It's just a bunch of guys shooting each other. Great. We'll use that as end of show clip. Fantastic. It's good for the gun debate. Yeah. Great. So yes, people, if you're gonna wear your t-shirt, let's put it this way. If you have Tourette's, don't wear the End of Fed t-shirt. You just can't combine the two. That would be our tip. Yeah, that's a good tip. That's the only tip we got for you. Keep an eye on your family. They're trying to report you for being crazy. Yeah, don't trust anybody in the old family. And don't cut in line in Texas.
