# Nein Nein Nein Nein > A massive leadership purge hits the CIA and Lockheed Martin as the White House maneuvers around Benghazi testimony and national emergency extensions. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 460 - **Published:** 2012-11-11 - **Length:** 2h 46m - **Topics:** Petraeus resignation, Benghazi cover-up, [Valerie Jarrett](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/valerie-jarrett.md), [Jimmy Savile](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/jimmy-savile.md), [Carbon tax](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/carbon-tax.md), McRib audition - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/460-nein-nein-nein-nein ## About this episode David Petraeus resigned as CIA Director following an affair with biographer Paula Broadwell, though the timing suggests a tactical move to avoid Benghazi testimony. The White House reportedly pressured Petraeus to maintain a specific narrative regarding the Libya attack, with Mike Morell now positioned to testify. This departure coincides with a broader purge of military and industrial leadership, including the sudden resignation of the new Lockheed Martin CEO. Secondary departures include Rear Admiral Gaouette and General Carter Ham, while FBI agents reportedly refused to enter the Benghazi site due to safety concerns. In Washington, the homes of Nancy Pelosi and Dennis Kucinich were burglarized in a single weekend, resulting in the theft of laptops and sensitive electronics. Meanwhile, President Obama extended the 1979 national emergency regarding Iran, maintaining expanded executive powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. In the UK, BBC Director General George Entwistle resigned after only 50 days following the Newsnight child abuse scandal involving Jimmy Savile. Adam Curry shares a behind-the-scenes look at his voiceover audition for a McDonald's McRib commercial, complete with the juicy goodness tagline. John C. Dvorak analyzes the emotional on-air breakdown of NBC's Andrea Mitchell during the Petraeus announcement. The episode concludes with a formal knighting ceremony for the No Agenda Roundtable and a look at the Hitler meme that inspired the episode title. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
