I have the swine flu. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's October 8 2009. And time for your gizmo nation media
assassination episode 137. This is no agenda, jamming the
frequencies of the power and lower vibrations so you can
ascend to the light with ease and coming to you from the
minimum security containment cell and Gitmo nation West San
Francisco, California. In the morning, I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where it's actually going to be
a foggy day they say, I'm John C. Dvorak. Greg Levin, Buzzkill.
You,
today show's executive produced by John Schuhmann.
Of the Shuman, television family of networks, who the hell is
that?
He's the guy gave us the most money.
Oh, okay. Yeah, that's good. You get you get pre credits, pre
roll credits, if you've donate the most money. I like that. We
hadn't even discussed that, John, but I think it's a good
idea.
I knew you would like it. So I chose to do it, by the way,
because it involves the words that the most money Yeah, yes.
The most money. I took your advice. Yesterday morning,
Johnny Boy. And because of course, you know, we're under
threat of eminent domain removal here. Oh, yes. And the T J PA,
the Transbay. Joint Powers Authority, your government at
work, abusing eminent domain 90 day. So they have to adhere to
the city ordinance of no construction noise between 7am
and 8pm, seven days a week, I might point out in San
Francisco. And so it's 645. You know, I could hear the trucks
back and up their load and stuff. So I did two things. I,
as you suggested, I call the police.
And they were like, one of my major suggestions or
major suggestions. And then after 8am, which is when they
when their offices opened, I call up, called up and spoke to
them as well blast her. Mila Gonzalez, who was very
apologetic and like, oh, yeah, well, you know, like I said,
Hey, look, you know, I'm right across the street. Here's the
issue. There's a city ordinance and seven o'clock is not 645. So
please take note of that. Oh, yeah, no, I'll call right over
up. So this morning, they started at 630 instead of 645.
Typical, so your advice is panning out as just beautifully.
No, I haven't called him yet. Because you know, we were
starting the show at eight o'clock. Hello, John. Great.
Yeah, I got you. I got you. You cut. Okay, that sounds like your
mic wire cut out for a second. Now. That's
I'm telling you this connection sucks. But anyway, the unless
you're a squeaky wheel, they're gonna test you. So what happens
is you call and say, Oh, really, I wonder if this guy's really
sincere. And so then they put the screws D and then that what
you're supposed to do is bitch again. And then you then you
start hounding the cops and then the cops get really steamed up
about it. And then the next you know, they're given these guys
parking tickets. Yeah.
Well, I think I'm going to call up Mila and ask her what part of
7am She didn't understand. And then I'm going to tell I'm gonna
shut you down dish.
It's not it sounds like you got an echo button.
That was good. No, that was just me yelling throughout the entire
box that we live in. That was the echo.
So I think you should call her. And then Then tell her you
decided not to call the police today but your youth you because
you trusted her? Yeah, I try to guilt trip on her. Yeah.
And but you know, my next call will be to Gavin Newsom. And,
and oh, by the way, did you hear about the Indian burial ground
that's supposed to be there. I still think that's your best.
That's the best idea you've had. Do you have a skull somewhere I
can borrow? That I can just toss into that dirt there. And you
know, I
have a bunch of them around the house.
I know i Ladies and gentlemen listening to this programme.
That is not a joke. I am convinced John C. Dvorak has
human skulls lying around the house.
You prop them up, and then you can kind of make them into small
pyramid and you can use them as a hassock. What's an ASIC?
What's that you put your feet up while you're watching TV.
I would like to remind everybody that this is the programme where
we don't pull any punches. Now we have a whole formula that
works exactly the opposite from pulling punches. Our formula is
this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth, especially if
you're the Transbay Joint Powers Authority squarely in the jaw.
So you know that that clip, of course is Mike Singletary, that
coach of the San Francisco 40 Niners who's who I'm now more
amused now that the team has actually gotten off to a really
great start because this is a little off This topic but for
football fans will get a kick out of it. So this guy was like
brightly they hit the coach last the last coach that was so bad
they fired him in the middle of the season last year because he
couldn't win the game. So they took this defensive coach, which
is Mike Singletary, who is famous linebacker from the
Chicago Bears was a very intense person, as you can tell by that
quote, and put him in charge temporarily let him take over
then, you know, then he won all the games. So they said, Well, I
know what do you do it? What do you think we should do? Can we
should we rehire him as a coach? And they was like, there was a
big controversy over this with all these pundits. He's got no
experience
was kicking ass
it despite the fact. So anyway, so they did give him the job.
And now he's like proving they now nobody mentioned the fact
that this was controversial. Yeah.
I would like to point out this is Episode 137, of this
programme that John and I have been producing for you, along
with our listeners who, of course, are producers and the
one who gives us the most money as the executive producer of the
episode. If you had listened to us, I'd say about a year and a
half ago. Isn't that long? Has it been that long, John?
Well, I'll figure it out. Yeah, that's where we started. It's in
the wiki. There's a wiki.
We have a wiki. I think I started in like October of 2007,
or something,
or August or something like that. I can't remember what the
wiki says. Well, at that point, one
of the discussions, one of the discussions we had was about
gold. And without getting, you know, without backtracking all
the way to that conversation. If you had been listening along
with this programme, you might have bought yourself some and
boy, you would have been pretty happy just about now. As Gold
closed at an all time high of $10,050. Yesterday.
Yeah. And it appears to be on an upswing? Well, I was at
making I went over to one of those investor annual meetings
for crosslink.
Whenever I whenever there's one of these, what kind of a meeting
was it? Was it a big meeting? Well, they're
not. They're not a huge company, or a huge fund. I think their
their funds are like 250 or $350 million. So in the realm of
funds these days, that's pretty good. But yeah, it's it's small.
And then they've only really done two major media internet
investments. One was Pandora. And the other one is mi VO. So
it's kind of cool how they did their, you know, audio versus
video type hedge, even though we're a lot of audio, but
they're more on the music side. And so they have all their
limited partners come in. And so they had a, of course,
appropriately toned down for the financial crisis we're in. They
had a reception at their offices, and they're one of the
few VC funds that that have offices in San Francisco and not
on the typical Sand Hill Road out in the valley. And it was
nice, yeah, you had to kind of like a thing, you walked around
their whole office, and each room had a different type of
food. And it was okay. And there's only like 37 people who
work at the at the entire company. But they're unique in
the fact that they also have as a part of their fund. They, they
trade in the public markets, so they buy and sell stocks. And
this guy, Paul Saibot. He's their main trader, and so he's
the guy that has a desk there with 18 screens all stacked on
top of each other. With this, Horowitz has got one of these
rigs oh my god, and but he's like, he's like, he's so
passionate about cuz he's a technical trader, you know, is
nothing, nothing fundamentals. It's all in technical analysis.
He's so passionate about this stuff. And he showed me the
chart for gold and his, you know, in all of his analysis, he
says, Well, I'm thinking 5000 possible, but it could easily be
8000. Wow, what are you talking about? And yeah, and he's, he's
been trading gold since they went since we went off the gold
standard. And was that 7475?
The gold we went off the gold standard in the 30s.
Right, true. That's true. But the official going off the gold
standard, as the as the wiki would probably say, was
dubious, but whatever the case, so he's been trading this stuff
forever.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. And it was
amazing. It was and what is he very 1000.
He said, he said, There is no The sky's the limit. He said,
This is funny, because, you know, in the brown 2001 Or just
a run there. I when I was writing for Forbes, Dennis Neal,
who's now at CNBC was out here to do a silicon spin. And I had
him write on a sheet and I still have the sheet around somewhere
in 2001. I said, I don't know because economy was falling
apart. I think gold is probably a pretty good investment. I was
I think gold's at 330 and, and he said, Oh, never go. Are you
crazy? And So I had him sign a document, it's that's it gold
will never go up. Oh, do
you have that? Do you have that document somewhere?
You have it, it's in one of my box to get up, I believe it's
just I find it, it goes online.
So I was thinking about our about our no agenda stream and
how you and I are working on turning this into a real 24/7
media stream that you'll actually want to listen to. And
I talked to Paul about it. And I think that he would want he
would be happy to do you know, like a conversation with me once
a week guy is so passionate, and he's and you know, wouldn't be
cool to just hear someone say gold 8000. Great show. But he
has a lot of insights, and he doesn't care, he was happy to
tell you exactly what he thinks. And a lot of these guys won't do
that.
No, most guys won't do it. And the problem with that people
should realise that there are so many people out there that have
a lot of good knowledge, and they wouldn't you know, and they
don't really object technically to like sharing it because it
actually helps them. You know, if you're a stock tip guy, and
you give tips out and then the stock goes up, you're in the
stock, and it goes up you make money. Yeah. But the some people
are reluctant. They're they're worried that they're gonna get
sued, or they're worried that they're going to do this or
that. I don't know what it is. There's a lot of guys that just
won't talk. And I
told him about our bi weekly media assassination, no agenda,
and he's like, Oh, I love that. I hate the media. They're such
bastards. And like, Oh, this is a guy for us. He's right. From
time to time, I'll remind you that you still have a book to
publish about your and I actually, I did talk to Paul
about it about your 80 year cycle. When he was like, Oh,
is that thing on? Is this thing on? Hello? Can you hear me? Are
you with some about a cycle book or something? Because I think
the Skype connection
just broke. I wanted to ask you, because I've got some numbers
here. And I don't know if they're correct, but they may
sound correct to you because you are the cycle man.
I'm a cycle man cycle dude.
Do you happen to know what the typical cycle of an empire is
John
Toynbee discussions, that are Toynbee, Arnold Toynbee, the
famous historian, discusses Empire cycles in his study of
history. And the fact is, I mean, there probably is a cycle
that's been observed. I don't know personally what it is, but
Toynbee actually has the cycle deconstructed, but because of
certain elements of the cycle, it some empires can last longer
by by doing certain by having certain characteristics. So I
don't know that there's a solid cycle. Well,
I have a list of cycles here that I found in one of my cycle
circles. And so we're currently the Amazon cycle circle of
cycles. Yeah, absolutely. Um, if I'm in it. The currently the
Empire of the United States is, well, in 2010, we will celebrate
our 230/4 birthday. Here's some other interesting numbers, the
Assyria Empire, which apparently was 659 to 612 BCE. That's a 247
year cycle. Persia 538 to 330 BCE 208 years Greece 331 to 100
BCE. 231 years. What is this the tea I guess it would be th e.
That's called the, the
the the, which was a great band in the 80s. The to 206 to 27 BC
that's 230 year terms in 33 years, the Arab empire 634 to
eight AD AD 204 46 years. I'll just skip ahead to Spain. 1500
To 1750 ad that's a 250 year reign Romanoff 1682 to 1916 I
think we get the point. So aren't we like, just at the end
of our natural cycle? And isn't it just time for this entire
thing? I mean, it's starting to fold dude, it's time. You got to
know when to fold. And
well, you know, one of the things that does happen during
these these Empire cycles is idiotic, you know, there's been
more than a few of these empires, as it were, that have
gone broke, because they got involved in these wars. I mean,
we probably could go on forever. We'd paid attention to
Jefferson, who told us not to get our asses involved in these
foreign endeavours, where we just don't all of a sudden
decided to go to war with some country out in the middle of
nowhere. And now, of course, we have Afghanistan, which is just
so turning into Vietnam. It's hilarious. And we got this out
of control, general, this McChrystal guy who thinks he
runs the place, he's taking orders off, dude, he's and he's,
and he's a psycho. I mean, the guy they had him his profile on
60 minutes. The guy gets up at four in the morning he jogs five
miles through the streets and then he gets does this and he
does that He only eats one meal a day because otherwise it makes
him low
GI Louis I'm feeling low D I can't get me near metalheadz If
I'm feeling low, The ball. I
mean, the guy seems you know, he sounds normal, but it sounds
when you when he describes his like way he lives is like nuts.
I'm glad you're glad you bring up the the wars, John, because
did you know about the $636 billion defence bill the Senate
passed just two days ago.
That one got by me.
It slipped by me. Let me just read you a couple of highlights
of this bill. So this was on Tuesday $636 billion, which I
didn't hear anything about this anywhere on any news report.
This is probably
because nobody's going to
do we just lose, you
know, okay. You shouldn't have but that's going to probably
we're saying that's because what that was,
because that's because nobody's against defence spending.
Yeah, but I mean, you could at least report on it. Okay. Forget
about that. Reuters. Here we go. Some key it past 93 to seven, by
the way. 107. Why don't Why don't you look that up? Well, I
can point 128 point 2 billion for the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Hey, it's funny. Is it split right down the middle?
I thought we were out of there. Then it would end the production
of Lockheed Martin's F 22 fighter plane. Okay, that's
good, I guess,
necessarily, but it's overpriced.
Right? Here's the interesting thing. This bill specifically
prohibits the Obama administration from transferring
international terrorism suspects currently held at the Guantanamo
Bay military prison into the United States. I thought we were
gonna shut that thing down, Mr. President.
Okay, I got a clip you have to play now. After you unless you
have a few more things to read from the line items.
I just want to say that we've been hoodwinked.
You think because Yeah. So here, I want you to play the airy
Fleischer clip. Now Carrie Fletcher, of course, was Bush's
old the press secretary.
Isn't he's a guy, isn't he the agent from entourage?
Kinda, he's kind of a stooge. Now this was going this is a
back and forth conversation with a bunch of people discussing
what Obama's going to do about his CanoScan this, that and the
other thing, and it flasher. And I don't know whether he was
totally tongue in cheek when he made this commentary that you're
going to hear, or whether he was sincere, and I believe he's
probably sincere, but at the same time, it sounds so
ludicrous. Like, is there any way that the Republicans can
give it can needle Obama to an extreme or actually or maybe
needle the people that voted for him that just listen to this
clip? Well, Fleischer is complementing Obama.
Well, I think what we're seeing in President Obama's approach to
this is encouraging when it comes to counter intelligence,
counter to counter terrorism, Barack Obama has actually been
pretty good and pretty strong. Because he's left in place many
of the George Bush policies principally he has left in place
secret renditions, warrantless wiretaps, the things that George
Bush was most criticised for. Barack Obama, to his credit has
continued and it's one of the reasons we're still doing well,
in the war on terrorism.
Exactly. To his credit was credit Good job, rock, rock and
roll. Hey, come on by the ranch.
You know, what's funny is that by the way, this was I think
this is I notice on Fox or one of the I don't remember offhand
where this came from, but, but they keep playing these damn
sound effects right during the guys, because they'll, they'll
have him talking. And then they'll put a little graphic up
and instead of just sliding over some Chiron, like some
information underneath, they have to put some sort of sound
effects. NFL sound effects, it sounds like Monday Night
Football.
I know. I know. It's nasty. Well, but this is the thing that
is, you know, the underestimation of the internet,
and how we've connected our, our neurons to each other. Yeah,
it's still kind of through keyboards and fingertips and all
that but that, you know, the people are catching on. This is
why everything has to be ramrodded through why everything
has to be passed really quickly, because we're catching on, you
know, like, eventually someone's gonna say, hey, wait a minute.
The first thing all this bravado, all this bravado are
and of course we have tonnes of YouTube clips to remind everyone
that the first thing President Obama did when he was in office
was to say I'm gonna close Gitmo. And he's not he's just
not going to close it. They've already said, Well, you know, we
can't close it. John Stewart was all over gays and you know, the
gays in the military. Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Which now all of the
all of the secretaries of all the different default, defence
forces have said, well, you know, we don't want the
President is too busy right now. He's way too busy to be doing
this. travelling around the world giving speeches. He's
watching the
MTV awards he's talking about,
right, exactly. He's watching Kenya, what's his name?
And let me tell you that you don't want to pay Soft gay
people. Okay, this is just not a good idea because they actually
don't give a fuck and they will go and protest in your front
yard. They really will. And it's gonna get attention
Yeah, there was some gay guy on the O'Reilly Factor the other
day and who who who was just irked. Guys we're gonna put up
with this much longer
just eart just a little bit. Oh, before I forget on on the gold
tip. I've shown you my my my gold coin right, the one ounce
coin I
have. Yeah, you carry that in case you end up so you carry
around a gold coin and some other weird coin I might add.
That's my military coin, some military coin that will get you
into a military bar? I guess. So
that's when they throw me into the FEMA camp. I show the coin.
They'll let me out.
Okay, well, you got these two weird coins you carry around
with you all
that kind of like the PBA thing you drive your gold
coin. If by the time that you think that things fall apart,
you'll have a gold coin in your pocket you could pull out and
it'll be worth millions of dollars, you will be king,
I will buy some bread for everyone. Anyway, the US Mint is
stopped minting them. They're like, whoa, whoa, we got to stop
making those because of course they don't have any gold
anymore. And this is kind of a precursor to what happened at
what Roosevelt did when He prohibited the hoarding of gold
coin and gold bullion and gold certificates within the United
States. Under President presidential executive orders
6102 If I recall correctly, but that was back in 1933. So that
could happen all over again. Well, you'll have to give up
your gold.
Give us your your dad bring out your dad. Where's that? That's
from a Monty Python? I don't remember that one. Yeah, he says
guys goes around with Do you know, during the plague is to
bring out your dead bring out your dad's holding around a big
cart full of dead guys. And then one guy comes out. He brings out
a guy who's still alive. He says he's dead. No, he's alive. He's
dead. No, yeah, I'm not alive. I'm alive. And so then the guy
clubs him over the head. And
so anyway, so this ramrod thing of all the bills is of course,
what happened with the stimulus, stimulus package. And now it
looks like going to try and do exactly the same with the
healthcare bill. News came out yesterday, the day before
yesterday, the Congressional Budget Office who initially on
the initial bill said hey, this thing is going to cost us true
$2 trillion. Well, they've they've punched someone in the
mouth over there. And so now the Baucus bill would apparently
cost over 10 years $829 billion. But the CBO the Congressional
Budget Office has said they will actually reduce federal deficits
by $81 billion over that 10 year period and probably quote lead
to continued reductions in federal budget deficits in the
years beyond so this thing is ready to go for to a vote and
they're going to ramrod it through maybe as early as
tomorrow that they'll vote on this and of course another
promise broken that these things would go online for at least 72
hours so we could like look at them and talk to our
representatives about them and they're even Democrats trying to
stop the future posting of bills online in in the future in
general because well this is what you have your
representatives for you know you don't have to have read the bill
you stupid sheep Oh, shut up.
Yeah, I know that's kind of pathetic. Somebody dug through
that bill it because a guy has had a copy of and they found
there's an interesting you know, there's a there's a thing if you
don't have insurance and you don't do this you don't have to
you have to pay like a tax. Yeah, it's $1,700 Yeah, it's
like basically attack because
the IRS will will find you for if you don't pay it. So it's
Obama's dollars on the tax. What do you hear tax? So anyway, so
it turns out, there's a little proviso in there that the people
who happen to be Christian Science Monitor, Christian
Science non monitored by Christian scientists, that
religion that doesn't believe in, you know, they're exempt.
That doesn't want to have medical anything? Yes. So if you
join a church of Christian scientists, hey, I don't have to
pay that fine. So I think there's an out here for
everybody.
Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, my brother John. Since
we've both recently converted to Christian Scientist scientism
what is that really
you know, if it saves you 1700 bucks I'll yeah, that's what I
call a religion in.
I was reading here, there's an I'll put this link in the show
notes at no agenda. show.com. So if they can't read if they can't
get it to a vote on Friday, they have a plan which is to bake it
into a shell bill. Have you ever heard of this? process? No. So
what they do is, so there's a,
I would rather use the word incorporate and bake because
there's no actual cooking process involved. Right.
Okay. So they put it into another bill. They back it into
that somehow. And then and this will actually be hr 1586 a bill
to impose a tax on bonuses received by certain tarp
recipients, which of course, is something everybody wants to
pass.
Yeah. So that they were going to put it in that bill or a bill
that protects puppies,
but I mean, how can you like just like hide 1000 pages that
gets shoved into some other book? Oh, by the way, your
packet is a little bit thicker this morning. Over here, nothing
to see. Oh, look at that. It's just a little bit thicker. Don't
worry about it. Just press yes. And and then they can apparently
pass it it means that it's common practice to do that kind
of stuff.
I think it probably is not what bit bills that size, but I think
has been done a lot.
That's lame. Well, I
don't know what the big deal is looked at Democrats. We point
this out over and over again, the Democrats on the place. They
want to put a bill together they just go pass it what's the big
deal?
There was a it's kind of even hard to, to verbalise the
conversation we had on email with one of our producers, who
was actually pointing out through some in writing, you
even said in writing, it kind of is easier to explain how really
the Democratic Party is actually inherently racist. And that,
that there are certain elements, probably the racist elements
within the Democratic Party who are bringing the president down.
And that's why they're not able to pass anything because they're
just troublemakers because they don't actually want the black
man to succeed.
Yeah, I think there's some truth to that. And,
and I can try and paraphrase it, although it'll never come never
come out. Right. And of course, I'll sound incredibly racist.
But the the thinking behind it is that the real racism is when
you say, You know what, we've got to take care of these poor
black people, we really have to take care of them. We've got to
do something for them. That of course, is really true racism
when you when you put it into context, and then they start
helping the quote, poor black people. And then oh, wait a
minute, but one of those guys is now in charge. Well, that's no
good. That's kind of the not in my backyard syndrome. So just
something to ponder. Yes, during your day,
by the way, we got one of our contributors producers made this
comment is Lee Donaghy in Yarmouth, Norfolk, UK. He says
that since you're over in San Francisco most of the time now
that that he believes that our international coverage is
starting to suck.
No, that's you know, and I received this note earlier and
that's inherently untrue. Because we do a lot of stuff we
were talking just about above the Lisbon Treaty just on the
last show we've been all over the yes vote which is not
covered at all in the United States, which of course is the
biggest travesty because as this empire and owners the United
States comes to its natural 240 year end of cycle the next
Empire is has is literally being built constructed before our
very eyes it is the European Union. Tony Blair will be the
president of this new empire it's already been set up he he
became a Christian after he was booted out of out of office in
the UK he became a Christian and then you know kiss the feet of
the Pope specifically to have all of this all have all the
right credentials. And all that has to happen now is we need two
signatures one from the Polish dude and one from the Czech
dude. And it's done and the new empire has been created and will
be nothing will be a joke.
The new empire is China.
I don't know man.
These guys are these guys these Europeans are crazy. Well
there's a there's a there's a good blog post this is check it
out on the divorce.org/blog you'll see it's got a picture of
the of the EU flag with a skull on it the this attempt to turn
them into
I'm sorry he became a Catholic not a Christian
Well, it's kind of the same though it's
even more quite it's important.
So anyway, the point is, is that this is just festering a civil
war as far as I can tell, it's
more what within Europe Yeah,
let's go I mean, you you can't I mean, when the United States
when we put all these states together, you know it took less
than 100 years before they did last year. They got started
getting mad at each other because oh wait a minute you can
lord it over me I was here before you were why movement who
Dighton made juking right. And we had this like kind of battle
going on. And of course slavery was part of the part of it, but
it was really, you know, the the south still calls it the War
Between the States and America, you know, the north coast of the
Civil War, and it was both. And the fact of the matter is, it
was just like everybody getting mad. And so they took two sides.
They divvied up, you know, I'll be on your side y'all been and
they've had a big fight and they killed like more. I think we
killed 4 million Americans, we got more percentage killed it.
We killed each other more than we did in foreign wars. Yeah.
But Abraham
Lincoln ended slavery, John.
Well, he did was a good move on his part, because it actually
screwed over the South who was trying to get help from the
French and the British. And as soon as that happened, that was
once the Emancipation Proclamation went into play,
that these foreign nations weren't going to get involved,
you know, but anyway, the point is, is that this kind of thing,
with just states that were pretty much you know, they were
they were kind of a little different. Yeah, obviously, that
people that were in South Carolina weren't the same as the
people that were in New York. But you're talking about huge
cultural differences in Europe. Yeah, that and long standing
hatreds. My granddad was killed by the Nazis in my bike back
with a bike back Dutch. And so
that hatred is gone, by the way that the young Dutch do not even
know what
happened in the Second World War, but they need to be
reminded, yeah, they will be Don't worry, they will. So the
point is, is that you know, you need weavers you have the the,
the you know, the exhibits, but anyway, at some point something
about cheese or some screw job, or somebody's going to do
something that's going to really IRQ one of these countries and
it's gonna chassis Sure, Cheese.
Cheese. Well, listen, John, you know, the theory, and we've
discussed this before you have the United States, which will
soon enough be the North American union with Mexico and
Canada, then you have the European Union, then you have
the Asian union, which is where China comes in. And then that'll
all be rolled up. This is the whole Trilateral Commission
idea, man, and then they'll all be rolled up into one world
government up at the top, at least that is the long term
plan,
which I always plan on that. But then people the, it takes
a long time, it takes hundreds of years to
take 1000s There'll be another we're gonna have another war.
Yeah,
you think I'm sure there will be another one somewhere. But you
know, 2012 is quickly approaching. And that's, that's
when it all ends?
Well, anyway. So this guy says, we're not covering this stuff
that much. Well,
I disagree. I think we are covering it. And it's also up to
the producers, you know, the producers put together 70% of
the show, by sending us interesting leads the whole day.
And by the way, you know, and I'm a little bit early for this
part of the show, but all day long, John and I are emailing
back and forth amongst each other with our producers, which
is our audience. And, you know, we're debunking things on the
spot, like, you know, this is or John is like, this is a brother,
this is bullshit. You know, we actually read all the stuff you
guys send us and we determine what we're going to do on the
show. So if you want more European stuff in there, send it
in, we're desperate for good stuff.
We're not that desperate, but we are always looking.
So speaking of the Europe in the United States, of course, in
most countries in Europe, they have what is known as a VAT, a
value added tax, which in some countries is hold on top down
your state cars, little Dow Jones, in some countries is can
barely hear you. Yeah, well then get some headphones. In some
countries, it's 19%. In some it's 21. In Belgium, I believe
it's 22%, which is getting to be like a quarter of the amount
which is you know, is running
away with any Americans or in Europe that are shopping around
and having to pay these ridiculous paperwork out and you
get it back.
Yeah, you can. You can. I was even able to get VAT back on on
aircraft fuel. If I was going to if I made an over over the
channel flight anyway. Nancy Pelosi on Monday was on the
Charlie Rose show. And much he thinks that evaluated tax might
not be a bad idea for the United States.
Yeah, I've heard this. They just want to tax us every way they
can.
It's a tax that's a tax. This is exactly what's happening. It's
like, Oh, we got 700 billion for for the military over here. We
got 800 billion for the health care. We're not going to tax you
except for the value added tax.
You know, in California right now we pay a tent that sales tax
is 10%. It's really annoying. This is very high. Yeah, it is.
So every time you buy like a you know, something that costs 10
bucks, you have to pay 11 for it. But that's on top of the
fact that we have the federal income tax of typically what 30%
And the state income taxes The flat 10% for just an income tax.
So you're so besides the 10% 10%, income tax, and then
there's all these taxes on your gasoline and everything, if you
go to the airport, you know, you buy a ticket they have on sale
of Southwest air tax, there's $70 for these 4995 Because
there's five bucks here, five bucks there. If you take a look
at your cell phone bill, there's all kinds of taxes, we're paying
about 65 to 70%, taxes, period, in the state of California.
Time to move this place is bankrupt.
Yeah, it's bankrupt. And all this tax that they're
collecting, I don't see what they're doing with it. The roads
have potholes, they have the scam, things like this phoney
bridge addition that they're doing, which like they could
have done a million, they could have build a second bridge
cheaper. I mean, from from the East Bay to San Francisco, the
whole thing is just blend into the thing that you're going
through where they're going to tear down a hole, perfectly good
part of San Francisco to put up a bus terminal that the other
bus terminal I got, you can go in there, I'll go in there with
you with a movie camera. Nobody goes to the bus room, there's
only a few commuters they come in for a few hours and they go
there's no reason for this fancy bus terminal. And then they're
gonna drive their trains over to that thing. So instead of being
convenient where it is now they're gonna run what though?
They're gonna run the underground track. So how are
they going to get the trains over to their I don't get it
John Cena for X day.
I'd like you to pitch more about California on the show. That's
really nice. That's good. I dig it. I really know it's
ridiculous. It really is ridiculous. You know, our
president was was he was speaking in Virginia. And he
said that I wish I had a sound bite of this I don't only have a
news report. He said we don't we're gonna follow al Qaeda
wherever they take root. So I'd say Europe look out for you'll
have American troops on your streets before you know it. So
we're not just going to stay in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran,
Iraq,
so we're gonna invade Hamburg? Yeah. Could we know very
well yeah, that's where there's tonnes of al Qaeda. Try this
shit. No, luckily I believe in the ascension theory. I don't
have to worry about it. We're all going to ascend to the light
John it's going to be okay. Because you know, in one one
single candle can illuminate darkness and no amount of
darkness can snuff out the light of a single candle Dick
can burn out
Yeah, I can but if we got a whole bunch of candles we'll be
good. Department of Homeland Security programme that tries to
detect air travellers who are quote up to no good raising
privacy concerns Yeah no shit.
up to no good genes. Person job to know Gene Miss serve,
described. She's from CNN describe the Department of
Homeland Security's future attributes screening technology.
I love these acronyms. They come up with future attributes
screening technology, the fast as marrying a lot of existing
technology, some of it medical to measure breathing, heart rate
blinking, fidgeting and other bodily functions. don't fart
when you're in line at the TSA Okay, you'll get singled out and
of course you won't be able to fart because you'll have that
explosive up your ass I swear to god we're gonna have anal
examinations pretty soon you know but that guy who had like
some explosive jammed up his butt
Yeah, yeah, that was a kind of caught a few some attention.
Yeah. So this is this is actually report from France. The
what is the French Secret Service? What are they called?
To French Secret Service?
Oh, come on. They've got a name. They've got to have some cool
like numbers and letters in there. Like the British have mi
six. We have CIA. Anyway, the French Secret Service is warning
for a new method that radical suicide bombers can use to
attack.
It's the de gs e
DGSE. As they will be carrying explosives in their anal cavity.
So
that's gotta hurt.
I will bet you out your ad.
Hold on, I gotta mark that one. I guarantee you. It is now a
guarantee that within five years you will have a guy shoving his
finger up your ass when you want to fly to Detroit. This is this
this is just I'm so glad we're all ascending to the light job.
I'm so glad. Quick report from some of our producers a couple
of reports to actually one because we're not always right.
We don't know shit. The first one is about, we were talking
about voting machines, and about Germany, specifically and a
number of people. This is from Christine, but a number of
number of people wrote it and said, you asked the last no
agenda show if there are voting machines used in Germany. Let me
give you some quick facts about it. voting machines were banned
in Germany as the Chaos Computer Club showed hacks of the
computers in public so they're using paper these days good on
the Germans for for not using the bogus Seibold based voting
machines. D bold a D bold I'm sorry fruits that could get me a
lawsuit. And then on last week's show, we played this cleric.
I don't think it's about the sex or the Aratus ism. It's about
foreign policy decisions. It may be some inner turmoil about the
sexuality but there's far more sexualized cultures around the
world. They go to Dubai for Christ's sake Brazil.
So we both jumped on Janine Garoppolo and the way she
phrases it is indeed, you know, it's bullshit because it's it's
not a sexualized culture, per se. But I got a lot of notes,
one from our producer, Kendall, but also Mickey, she said to to
you out of your mind to Dubai, it's the underground scene there
is off the hook,
the underground Sea, which I guess would groffle would be and
is Harley's the same as a sexualized culture.
I agree. So I'm agreeing on that. But just so there's no
confusion that the Underground's and I did not know this, because
I've been to Dubai. I've stayed there and of course I'm not in
I'm clearly I didn't get an invite. But you know, it appears
that is like hookers, blow alcohol, you name it anything.
New York City? Yeah, but but in Dubai, they throw tourists in
jail because you're kissing on the beach?
Yes. Which means it's not a sexualized culture that just
happens to be a Sikh undercurrent. I mean, there's
not a country in the world that doesn't have that we have to
assume so I mean, go to Hong Kong is back alley action going
on there too. So to speak. I mean, there's like, you know,
the same thing in Vietnam. I mean, they have like all kinds
of rules against all these things
reliably and forgot your reliably informed. The point of
the
matter is, is that it's not a sexualized culture. It's like a
very repressed culture that happens to have it's illegal
underground of sexuality or perversion, or who knows what I
was never invited to a Dubai scene and I wouldn't go John. I
was invited. I think that's completely nuts.
If I was invited, I would definitely go and I would report
back I would take one for the team.
You might you might end up taking one for the team.
So it's time once again to look at everyone's favourite company
whose stock by the way is doing extremely good they made an
extra extremely well well they made an extra penny per share
above what was expected on the street their stock now above 70.
report here that this is pretty interesting, actually. The
Aussie is it Australia I think it's I think it's in Australia
there's this pig weed as they call it, which roundup can no
longer kill?
Yeah, I love this pig weed story. Yeah. And like the name
of it to pig re I've got pig weed.
Yeah, so this stuff has just become completely immune to
round up. And farmers are now freaking out But Monsanto was
saying it's the farmers fault. It's not the now they're blaming
the farmers. I mean, what's going on? Blame the farmer.
There's there's a little clip here we can play maybe there's
something interesting listen to a woman's
path to becoming a rockstar entrepreneur.
I hate these prerolls sucks. Megan Duckett go away. All
right, hold on. Here's the report. This is
We feature a battle that is underway down south. This is
harder. This is here not in Australia, well crops cotton
among them. And this year, farmers have a real battle on
their hands
a real battle on their hands and battle. Charles Gibson I used to
be on an entertainment show and I'm the news expert
and some menacing weed weed. Weed seems to have a mind of its
own.
It's fighting your bullshit.
story from Marvel.
Who wrote this? Did Monsanto give him the script?
Across the South? It is the super weed. It's the weed that
man can no I'm sorry I
liked this whole thing about we It's super weed. Hey man, let me
smoke some of that anger
kill, I'm afraid and it's here to stay for a while. It's called
the pig weed. It's native to North America. And for decades
farmers have been able to control it. By spraying their
fields with herbicides. This past summer paste, Heinz Lee and
other farmers started noticing the chemicals were no longer
working, there's no rhyme or reason how we can control it,
the weeds have adapted and this year they're choking more than a
million acres of cotton and soybeans.
I think it's all set up I think Monsanto has set this up so they
can then sell us some of their modified corn
well there's some element possibly of that but I think
it's the simplicity is essential our essentially just another
evolutionary do that is funny because I think a lot of these
farmers believe that the Earth started 6000 years ago and
evolution is bogus and here's your brain is probably one of
the two you know little weeds that live through it they didn't
mind and next thing you know they're the only ones living
it's a classic example of natural selection so it's a
beauty
You got two clips you got one from the we do the Lieberman on
FBI from that we did that and we have judgmental is another clip
I have here from you when we do those and then we need to get
into our minute
or minute oh the minute Yeah, the minute okay, well, let's do
a couple of these are just miscellaneous clips. One of them
I'm gonna bring up because we we don't talk about it much because
we decided to hold things, you know, just another distraction,
which is the acorn. So they had the woman who had heads of acorn
and she's gonna she did her own investigation with it
internally, you know, like that's gonna do any good. We
fired people and we fired people but there was she just like she
there was just something interesting that she said when
she was apologising for the whole thing then they took a
quote and they read her quote and in there there was a comment
I just have to say something about play the this little clip
on her by Thursday.
I'll try to say corn is back in the news today. Bertha Lewis,
the CEO, community activist group leader has just released
the details of their internal investigation now this after
employees from several acorn offices were caught Lewis saying
quote, yes, I terminated those employees. Some of them it was
very sad. Over 10 year veterans mothers grandmothers who thought
they were doing the right thing by not being judgmental.
Judgmental
American murderer Well, let's don't be judgmental.
This is like a reverse racism thing or something. What the
hell was that?
Like political correctness gone nuts. So they had all these
people that were demonstrating they were they weren't as
natural for them. I've seen these movies for for them not to
be judgmental, because being judgmental is politically
incorrect. It's a bad
it's like a limp or something. Not if you're, you're a
prostitute and bringing in underage girls.
Yeah, but no, no, no, it can't be judgmental can't be genuine.
But that's the whole liberal notion.
That is, that's what's killing us. Although I will say, I will
say when I watch Glenn Beck who haven't seen in a couple days,
actually, what is kind of interesting is he and others are
now using the fake setup, which was a fake prostitute with a
fake pin, bringing in fake underage girls to become
prostitutes. They've now turned that into a corn once, you know,
allows prostitutes to bring in girls from Nicaragua, you know,
it's like, well, hold on a second. You know, it was fake.
You know what I mean? It's like they've really turned that into
fact, instead of what it was, which was a setup. So, but
anyway, you're right. It's just a it's just a distraction. So we
don't watch the $700 billion that is being spent on the
military and Guantanamo Bay, which will not be closed. Don't
look over here. Nothing to see here.
Oh, look at that. Okay, now, the other clip I have is Lieberman,
who is just a droopy dog guy. And he's he's at a hearing. And
this is one of the committees on the Homeland Security, and he
has these different people on I only want to play this one but
New York. I think it's clipped at somebody New York. Yeah. And
so he and he, it's just really kind of just a bunch of window
dressing. Where they bring these they have these different
agencies on and they had Neopolitan or whatever her name
is, and you know, going she's doing well were introduced the
bureaucrats Incredible
Hulk is what she is. Doesn't she look like the Hulk? She does
a little bit of you mentioned so so does that woman from the EPA,
but anyway, so. So they they've got this new this new agency,
that's kind of a super agency, but whatever the case is, they
they have the one guy from the FBI there too, so he's answering
the following question, which is just, it's just so insincere.
And then Lieberman comes off with a bunch of bull that's
obviously just meant to be put in a publication And
he's always the guy that goes, I really thank you for your
service and your dedication and your time and knowledge that on
this one you're getting euros. Yeah, thank you for getting up
and having bacon and eggs.
So let's play the Lieberman clip and you're gonna just get an eye
roll or from beginning to end.
Dr. Mohler. I have tremendous regard for the for the FBI and
the New York Police Department. There were some news media
reports about some disagreements between the FBI and the NYPD and
investigation of Sozzi. I've had the occasion to talk to both you
and Commissioner Kelly about these and I wanted to the extent
you're comfortable just to ask you to respond briefly for the
public record on that. How are your relations with the New York
Police Department?
I believe our relations are exceptionally good, as good as
they'd been in a long time. If I do believe the news media
exaggerates issues that come up in any investigation.
Say, don't say
we talk ourselves through our New York office with NYPD. It's
not just daily, but because we're embedded in each other
shops we're working closely together, day in and day out.
The New York Police Department has done a remarkable job and
understanding the domain and allocating resources to address
threats and relationship I think as good as it's ever been at
this juncture and the exchange of information through the Joint
Terrorism Task Force has been fulsome and enabled us to take
the steps that we've taken to disrupt this latest
they waste a lot of valuable C span airtime don't they?
Unbelievable? But anyway Yeah, listen to the gauges gets
better. I just
appreciate hearing that. As I said to you when we talked about
this I had occasion to be with Commissioner radio I
actually saw this live John I know what's coming Kelly from
the New York
Police Department the other day asked him the same question and
he gave exactly the same answer.
Verbatim no less. There was no answer the exact same answer.
Yeah.
National Treasures and national treasures in terms of law
enforcement, counter terrorism and I'm reassured to hear that
you're working well together. Yeah,
you know, I think that when they open up the anal probes at the
TSA Lieberman should go first send him through first
you know the watch this with there's just like why are we
wasting time with this bullshit?
Yeah, and you know, and by the way C span is starting to irk me
because on the Dish Network I only get C span one and two do
you get three somewhere
No I don't get three because all the good shit is on three when
is three when to three show I don't even know binary you can
only
get three online apparently or maybe it's on some cable systems
but you have to go to C span.org And then you have to drill down
and of course you have to have Windows Media Player I think it
does real player as well actually that's that's great.
You know give me some flash baby and and that's where all the
really good committees are because they always have the
votes they were voting and like I don't even know what they were
like some scam thing about going to remove some guy who gives a
crap it's like you're just you're looking at the Senate is
on recess and they play like some hokey music and show you a
really high ceiling shot of the Senate floor. That's like a
waste. Meanwhile, the committee's, which are talking
about the health care bill and other things are on C span
three.
To start looking at C span three, I did notice the other
night they had one of those situations like at 10 at night
with two guys all plays dead empty, empty here. And two
senators going back and forth with each other. We're like,
Well, I think I will. We will the Senator yield? Yes, I'll
yield. You know, it's like just like Chip and Dale, these two
chipmunks and so the ones that are I think you're absolutely
correct about this. Senator, I
yield back you rock. Hey, it's we got about 1520 minutes left.
So let's fill that time with because it's arrived. The
vaccine is here. And they've got video of kids being shot up the
nose with this with this vaccine.
Yeah, one the data, the one that came out of the blue the flu
mist. Yeah,
so this little video which is from The Early Show, which often
features is that what Natalie del Conte is on the Early Show.
I don't know which one of the show she's usually it was that
CBS she's on the CBS show
right that's the this morning or whatever? Yeah. Sure, so it's
not quite as good. If you don't see the video typically it's fun
to listen to the audio because well maybe we'll hear more
things but I will point out some key pieces of video that you are
missing while this is playing. It's, this is another huge setup
to get us all on this on this fine vaccine for the ongoing
fight against the h one n one this is CBS Dude, this is that
Harry Shearer dude. So I think this is Natalie show blue this
morning. America's
biggest immunisation campaign in history is underway. So we have
a look at exactly how it's being carried out all over the country
call it a day in the life of the h1 and one vaccine. I love
that it's now a soap the day in the life of the h1 and one
vaccine. Jennifer Ashton is here with more. Good morning. Good
morning, Harry. And notice how they have a really hot doctor.
Why is this doctor not in my doctor's office? I mean, I would
be going for every scrape. Could you just take a look at this
over here. Please just kiss it and it'll be better.
The government has ordered 250 million doses of the h1 and one
vaccine which it ends
which means there's no service for someone paid
will be enough to cover demand in the United States. But the
CDC admits that getting the vaccine out will be bumpy at
first. As 27 states report widespread activity of influenza
the long awaited h one and one have you
seen these these reports? I don't get it I thought everyone
stopped reporting and now all of a sudden it turns out there's
been 250 deaths in California did you know that?
I thought they stopped reporting Yeah, they did. But
apparently CBS has data we don't
seen is rolling out
this is awesome. Awesome shots of people with a getting this
syringe up their nose, which I figured out of course is to stop
people more people will take it when they know it's not an
actual shot because people don't like shots. But you know jam and
something up your nose a little bit of mist is not that
frightening
and when is up to individual states. The nasal spray variety
available now is only for healthy people between the ages
of two and 49 and will most likely be given first to those
in the priority group that includes health care workers,
children and people who care for children as the vaccine. Hey,
John,
I care do you care for children?
Everybody does. I care
rolls out. We checked out three different hotspots to see what's
going on with each one and one across the country. Terrell
Brown is in New York City.
We are inside the Montefiore Medical Centre it's one of the
first hospitals in New York City to receive the h1 and one
vaccine. The hospital auditor who's
opening up the fridge I've seen so far 500 doses of the nasal
it's literally a fridge it's like a sub zero. It's just like
what it was like when I got here.
Yesterday two children were among the first to receive the
vaccine. doses available truth of the matter is most healthy
people will have to wait while waiting for the vaccine.
Dr. Pat Crocker reports that here's the cool piece in Austin
now this you can't see this but they have a tent set up indoors
like a military tent like a triage and this extra tent
because of the high volume of patients we've been seeing
locally that allows and it looks really scary you know they got
people walking around with flu masks emergency department
and as Mark Strassman
it looks like this it looks like outbreak the Dustin Hoffman
movie you know they got people and contamination suits and
shit consequences of h one and one can be dire This is the
intensive
care unit here's
a throwback to the one we saw before John
at Oklahoma City's Children's Hospital up here h one n one has
become a life and death fight three kids sick with the virus
or critically ill up here it
used to be to remember there was the white rich kid and the poor
black kid now there's three and the one is Mexican. So yeah.
But somebody did a focus groups and where's the Mexican? Yeah,
we need
some Mexicans in there.
We're gonna fight this together. Two of them are gonna fight this
together proving
but the third could go either way. And then they show the
black kid
Oklahoma has become one of the state's hardest hit by h1 and
won. The virus has doubled the everyday caseload in the
hospital's emergency room and changed the way this hospital
does business.
So anyway, so the marketing push is on big time right now. To get
us to take this vaccine at best it is just to take money
and oh yeah, it's a money grab. Let's face it now one of the
things that's interesting is what they really the CBS really
likes to harp on this Oklahoma thing we have no numbers that
show us like the hardest hit
nope we've looked it doesn't doesn't there's no news reports
about it being hardest hit
and we have to but we have those same two people
there I know why because they had the lights all set up they
just want the the lights are there they just left the you
know the left the lights all focused and everything so you
know they gotta go back. It's like cheaper
thing You
Exactly. Governor Schwarzenegger signed an executive order
declared a state of emergency in California. So that here it is
so that federal departments can do all kinds of stuff, to to
vaccinate the people within their departments, and they have
priority and this, I'll put it in the show notes that no agenda
show.com. And so there was a state of emergency for the swine
flu. What's interesting, though, and I keep trying this the
office because we have a number of documented swine flu cases at
the office, Mickey's assistant, has been out for three days
confirmed swine flu, and it's actually no you got the flu, you
don't feel good. And it kind of varies. Some people feel better
than others, and some feel really crappy. But when you say
to someone, you probably have the swine flu. What is the first
thing they say? No?
Yeah, what is that, right? Well, you're already like the only one
that's just the opposite. You had like the sniffles?
No, I had swine flu. swine. I gotta mark that one as well.
That may be better.
I had the swine flu is exactly in that period, when there was
two weeks in California, everyone was saying swine flu
can strike the President was in Mexico. So you know, it's like I
had it. But when you say to someone, oh, it's probably
swine, even if I try. I've tried different variations I've tried.
And what's probably normal, you know, it's been it's just you
probably had the swine flu. No, no, I don't have to. Well, yeah,
I mean, lots of people are getting this like the flu, you
know,
if you've if so they've been sold a bill of goods. And of
course, everybody seems that we have to admit or acknowledge the
fact that Americans especially since the George Bush
administration have become out in out superstitious
Yeah. Yeah. So good. Yeah.
Then so saying you have the swine flu, if you just didn't if
you just stay in denial, because if I think I have the swine flu,
I might die. But if I, if I pretend that I don't have the
swine flu, I will live because of some superstition that the
swine flu is as you know, this deadly disease, when it turns
out if they were actually read these reports, it finds a very
mild form of the regular flu generally submitted
that way they even say this, but then they show three kids who
have had I'm sure every single study says, well, the people who
died actually had like, pneumonia, apnea, respiratory
diseases. What, John, nothing. You were screaming? What
happened?
Yeah. What are you going to put into the pet peeve thing again?
Well, I'll do it if you want it. No, I'm just saying,
there's a stupid liberal superstition is pretty pathetic.
And that all you're doing is just uncovering it.
Well, that's kind of what we do on this show. And, and many
people,
and of course, I might add, nobody at the office listens to
our show.
No, one person, one person, Andrew Grohmann. Oh, and by the
way, you know, Mark, he has two, yes, twins. And he was in the
office the other day, and we're, you know, and whatever. And they
were born prematurely. So they were an incubator for a little
while, and they're doing great now. And until then, you know,
we're having a meeting and I tried to shake these meetings
up, and you know, it's like, well, you know, I baby, I can't
get the swine flu. You know, because I have the kids can get
the swine flu. I said, Well, you know, there'll be okay, you
know, and they're really healthy right now. It says, Yeah, but
you know, we have to get them the swine flu vaccine. I said
no. And then like 18 months I said, No, dude, absolutely not.
By the way, under two they're not supposed to get it. Well,
the doctor says we should I said the doctor says you should get
you should give your twins who are 18 months old. You should
give them the swine flu vaccine. Yeah, yeah. He keeps saying when
it's time it's time. So I pulled up the CDC sheet. I said well,
the Centres for Disease Control which who deliver this Vaccine
Information Sheet said literally say not under two. So you should
take this to your doctor and shove it up his ass. And yeah,
it's confusing the people and so that's you know, so clearly the
his doctor is on the take, you know to because he I'm sure he
gets paid X amount for each shot. He administers. It's
bullshit. Anyway, so we uncovered this stuff. We hit
people in the mouth, and then we turn right around and we beg for
money.
We have a lot of we had some good donations. We didn't get
really much at the beginning of the or after Sunday. Well, we
did
get back. We got back Come on iTunes so that might help us out
a little bit.

way. Nice rack. She looks great. She didn't take any Tamiflu, she
took Sudafed, and Tylenol. And she lives.
Well, there you have it. Yeah, there you go. Hold on. We see
somebody on the radio the other day that you know, they were
talking about swine flu on some sports show and they somebody's
friend died. Well,
you know what, I had a friend die the other day. I forgot to
close the event. And otherwise, well,
let's get back to these donations and mentioned to
people that they should be donating then they should go to
a divorce.org/n a or no agenda show.com. And to help us out,
I'd like to see more than $5 a month subscriptions we actually
only pick up like one or two. It's actually kind of low
because if somebody suggested this as a great idea, and I
haven't seen any evidence,
because $5 was supposed to work really well. Have we gotten any
more layaway nights. We don't talk about the nights very
often. When we
play we have about three of these guys in play. Westerfield
Father Ralph. And
so when that's when they complete when they've done their
$50 a month and they become full fledged knights, we should have
some kind of like Masonic ceremony, shouldn't we?
Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Okay, cool.
I like that. Well, okay, we'll
talk about the knights on Sunday, a little more, and then
I'll get mentioned the guys are currently going for it.
So I think the knighthood actually involves a blow job.
You give us $1,000 I'll blow you. problem.
No problem the guys cheap. So.
Exactly. And your point is Dr. Lorac.
So there's also I think somebody unfortunate I keep for you know,
I, I'm lat you know, the problem would be if people want to send
us stuff, like, you know, use the code, no agenda and the
subject line. And if you want to send me something that, like,
for example, somebody did about four days ago. So you know, you
forgot to mention me. So I mentioned you. But the problem
is I have like 200. I mean, even though I don't get any spam, I
get lots of email. If you do, if you send stuff to me, in
particular, if you want, like if I forgot to mention your I
pronounce your name wrong, or something's crappy. And you want
me to make it up to you. Send me the note the night before we do
the shows. In other words, send me a note on Wednesday night
with no agenda in the subject line and something else. Or
Saturday night and the likelihood because it's
every night, we knew John, what we need is we need an assistant.
Yeah, we do. We do not. So
are you done with all the donations? Yeah. Okay. So first
of all, thank you all very much.
And thanks for the people who give us smaller
amounts. Yes, we appreciate that too. And a lot of you give
smaller amounts. So we don't mention you, which is fully
understood, feel free to give us many of the smaller amounts if
you want. We do this as a as a service, but we can't do it for
free. We spend a hell of a lot of time working on this
programme, and torturing ourselves. We got up early this
morning, because I have a doctor's appointment I have to
go to so and we were always delivering a show to you no
matter what. And we'll do it earlier rather than later if we
have some kind of conflict because life sometimes just does
get in the way. And we do it twice a week. And you know,
we're always working on doing more we've got the no agenda
stream, which we're working on, thanks to all the I mean, what's
that must have like 25 or 30 people who want to be a stream
manager, we're now meticulously going through interviewing
people talking to them, finding out you know what, you know, if
they can do the job that we that we are dreaming of and that will
you know, some of the money from that you donate will go to that
person and eventually we'll have like a little business, I hope.
And I want to also do a shout out to Bubba Martin. Yeah, who
does our cage match and he fell ill. Yeah.
We hope he's doing better. He is doing better but we hope he
stays healthy. John, just to wrap it up. I'd like to give you
a pop quiz. Okay, pop. What book has sold 25% more copies in The
first half year of this year, then it sold in all of last
year. Shipping a total of 300,000 copies so far. What book
could it be? On one second, hold on a second. I have. Again, your
question
Atlas Shrugged.
Please let the Jeopardy theme get in there a little bit. Is
Atlas Shrugged. Yes. You have to you answered in the form of a
question. You are correct. You can go on to the Daily Double.
That's right. Atlas Shrugged is a seeing a huge resurgence.
Because people are seeing the complete connections between
what Ayan Rand wrote and what is happening today at this very
moment. So it's time to go Gault, everybody. And again,
something you heard on this show first before it became
mainstream knowledge,
unfortunately.
Have you read it yet? John, are
you one of the last week? Yeah,
bullshit.
You deserve this guy named Galt. Someone should stop him.
Jackass.
All right. No, I think we've had just about enough. Would you
mind just starting the book? John?
I read it I read last week. You did not. It takes you a month to
read that book. I read Fountainhead in one sitting.
Okay.
Well, when you read it, you'll go hey, damn, Adam, you were
right.
I can say that anytime you want. Oh, send me a memo. I want.
I want you to read it
at a meeting.
Oh, I'm almost done with death by meeting what a great book.
Oh, yeah, I gotta read that. Yeah. I mean that that thing you
can read in in two hours? It's, it's a good one. Anyway, if the
minimum containment cell has not been torn down by them, I'll be
back here on Sunday. Bringing you another episode of no
agenda. Coming. Well, hold on. Let me tell you, we're done. I'm
Adam curry.
So meanwhile, it's foggy here and Foggy Bottom northern
Silicon Valley. And I should be here I think I don't think I'm
going anywhere this weekend. I'm John C. Dvorak.
We will talk to you again on Sunday. Apparently, right here.
No agenda
