Time	Text
	I'm shaking in my boots now.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, November 20th, 2014.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 671.
	This is no agenda.
	65 degrees and sunny with weather and traffic on the 8s here in FEMA Region 6 in the capital of the drone, Star State.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley where there's weather on the ground, I guess is what I was going to say.
	I'm John C. DeVore.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	I'm sorry.
	You're fired from the show.
	It always takes me a while to get started and I blow these little bombos that I cream up.
	Because I always bounce it off of what you said.
	It's an ad lib and half the time I can't deliver it.
	But no, you're just not delivering.
	You're not like the mailman.
	You're not coming home.
	You're not hammered into the...
	I just woke up.
	You're not punching it into the mailbox.
	Okay, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself.
	Are we going to start over?
	No.
	You're in the studio.
	You're going to toss it to me.
	I'm outside on location.
	Ready?
	And with the weather, we've got Adam Curry out there on the street.
	Adam.
	John, thank you very much.
	Yes, as you can see, we've got the wind machine and thunder snow here.
	I'm in 18 feet of snow.
	I'm standing here with a family of 33 undocumented immigrants.
	And on behalf of the No Agenda Show, I want you to know we have notified our lawyers.
	We have canceled all contracts and projects with Bill Cosby.
	Back to you in the studio, John.
	Thank you, Adam.
	Be well.
	Be well.
	Be safe, I think.
	Be safe.
	Be safe, right.
	So I just encapsulated the entire news.
	That's pretty much it.
	In 25 seconds.
	That is exactly what's going on.
	And apparently Bill Cosby is now running the kids through Guatemala.
	What a bastard.
	Something like that.
	Well, that's an interesting hit job, now that you bring that up.
	Wow, isn't it, though?
	Isn't it, though?
	It looks so like, look, if you don't do this for us, we're going to ruin your life.
	It's just like out of the blue.
	And in fact, people like Whoopi Goldberg have kind of picked up on this.
	She's defending my wife, who used to produce comedy and knows a lot of comics.
	A lot of them.
	Let's be honest.
	Comics are sexual deviants.
	She says that even when they're working Modesto, these comics have a huge following of crazy girls that will throw themselves at them.
	You don't have to drug somebody to get laid if you're a comic that actually goes on stage.
	It's ludicrous.
	And a guy like Cosby who had a hit show, I Spy, and he's starting the Cosby show, would have had them lined up.
	Right.
	So what is this point of drugging them?
	And they always seem to wake up, by the way, if you read these stories, I've read a couple.
	I don't want to talk about this too long.
	But you read these stories, and it's like, I was drugged, and when I woke, he was taking my pants off.
	Wait a minute.
	It seems to me that if you were drugged, when you passed out is when he'd be taking your pants off.
	Not when you woke up.
	What's the point?
	Well, the thing that...
	It's unavoidable, this Cosby thing.
	And the only thing I keep coming back to just as the simplest...
	What is happening today as we've looked at...
	You know, the Ferguson situation, which is racial tension being completely spurred on by media.
	We even look at the Netherlands with the, uh...
	BLACK BEAT! Sorry.
	All right.
	Yeah, right?
	Our man.
	Our man came through.
	You know, Cosby did something that I feel was so important in American media.
	He made a show that completely demolished any semblance of difference between black and white.
	The Cosby's could have been white, but they were black.
	He listened to Ray Charles.
	There were black references, but it was completely...
	Colorblind, in a way.
	It was really smart, what he did.
	And to me, it's like, maybe that's just the last thing that had to be removed.
	Hey, we need to have a racial war.
	Get that Cosby guy out.
	He is messing it up for us.
	He's always on a lot of shows moaning and groaning about blacks not being able to do this and that.
	Exactly.
	Black on black crime and all that.
	Yeah.
	Now, who knows whether these allegations are true, but it just seems odd that even though most of the stuff is dredged back from almost a decade ago.
	More and more.
	30 years ago, some of it.
	Well, I mean, that was, I know, but the time he actually went to court was about 10 years ago.
	Somebody came out of the woodwork and they just settled out of court.
	And as soon as that cash passed, you'd think there would be, then you'd think they'd be coming out of the woodwork to get money.
	But no, 10 years later, we have all this all at once.
	And it's just coming in from every which way.
	His show's canceled.
	He got canceled from Letterman.
	And it's like he's just been hit every which way.
	TV Land dropped all of the...
	They used to run reruns, which he gets residuals for.
	That's done.
	So it's like a huge...
	It's just too much all at once against one guy in a very odd way with people coming out of the woodwork who are all sketchy.
	Did you see...
	It's almost as though the CIA, you know, when he did the thing I spy, I don't believe for a minute.
	There you go.
	I gotcha.
	He wasn't working with the intelligence agencies because you're not going to do a show like that.
	No, of course not.
	In 1960, I think it was 65.
	Let me take a look.
	I Spy was 65 through 68.
	You're not going to be doing a show like that without help from the government.
	And he had to be cozied up at that point.
	And I don't know if he's been...
	I mean, just the whole thing is very fishy.
	When J.B. Miller, my buddy who turned 50, who in New York...
	I'm back in Austin, by the way, for those of you who wanted to know.
	I know it sounds like I could be anywhere in the world.
	No, you sound fine.
	So J.B., his Empire Entertainment Company, they just produced the big ebony 100-year thing in California honoring...
	Quincy Jones.
	He does all of these huge elitist parties.
	And he started off earlier by really booking talent for the big parties before he started producing them.
	And he told me that he used to book Bill Cosby in Manhattan three shows a night, half an hour to 45 minutes each.
	Cosby would walk from one to the next.
	All he would need is a chair and a microphone.
	He'd come in, sit down on the chair, turn the chair backwards.
	Do us the half hour, 45 minutes.
	People love it.
	$150,000.
	And then walks to the next one.
	He would be doing almost half a million dollars in a night.
	Walking from gig to gig.
	That's good money.
	It's more than we're making.
	Yeah, that's for sure.
	Hey, returning from New York, we caught the beginning of the big freeze on Tuesday.
	Yeah.
	Oh, you missed it then.
	You got lucky.
	No, we got the beginning of it just as it started.
	Okay.
	Yeah, it was minus five in Manhattan.
	That's cold.
	It was very, very cold.
	And once again, I was denied my right as a trusted traveler.
	And Miss Mickey, of course, pre-check, fly right on through.
	You're telling me the woman that's been, she's been sent out of the country.
	Deported, deported.
	She's been deported, refused entry, and hounded.
	On a list.
	From some list.
	And she just waltzes through and you, the good-natured American, never committed a crime citizen.
	I wouldn't go that far.
	But nothing that, no, I've been checked.
	I'm a trusted traveler.
	I went to Houston.
	I did the test.
	What's getting in that program if you can't get through the thing quickly?
	So I tweeted to the TSA, because I was mad.
	I was mad now.
	I was really, I was mad.
	And Mickey, I'm so sorry, honey.
	What can I do?
	I said nothing.
	I'll wait for you on the other side, dear.
	Oh, and she had time to shop.
	I'll be shopping on the other side while you're in this long line.
	So I tweeted to TSA and TSA blog, and I really wanted to say some really horrible stuff.
	But I decided to kind of play it cool and just say, okay, and I got a reply.
	Huh.
	Yeah, from TSA Media underscore Ross F. So I guess they got some guy.
	So here's my tweet.
	Denied pre-check twice in a row?
	That is not random.
	I thought I was a trusted traveler.
	Land of the free.
	Hashtag what a joke.
	That's not snide, no.
	I had all kinds of F words and stuff in mind.
	You're hopping mad.
	It's almost like the TSA tweeter works for Comcast Cares.
	It's the same guy.
	Adam Curry.
	Let me know how I can help, but have you seen these tips?
	What's tips got to do with anything?
	It shows up on your ticket.
	The tips is make sure that you have your trusted traveler number in the right place.
	Believe me, I'm not an idiot, people!
	Jeez!
	So, and then I tweeted back, because he said, you know, let me know how I can help.
	I tweeted back and I say, at TSA Media Ross F, did you actually just say I'm from the government and I'm here to help?
	Nice.
	Hey, nice little accent.
	I like that.
	Do that again.
	I just put it down.
	What is that?
	What is that thing?
	Is that a bass guitar you have?
	An electric bass?
	Do you have an electric bass?
	No.
	What is that?
	I like it.
	I should get one, though.
	That'd be good.
	But then it's kind of a clunker.
	So I'm not going to...
	I try to keep my instruments into things I can put in my pocket.
	That is a giant copper kettle with a rubber band around it.
	Wow!
	You made this yourself, didn't you?
	This morning, I had this big rubber band that fell out of the drawer.
	I said...
	I know what I can do with this giant rubber band.
	Good, I like it.
	I have a little new instrument.
	You've heard this instrument before.
	Yeah, it's from the Beatles song.
	Top that.
	Yeah, it's hard to top that.
	Anyway, that's what you get.
	That was it?
	Yeah.
	End of story?
	So they couldn't really do anything?
	Well, they must be putting the number in wrong.
	No.
	I've done this many times since we've had it.
	I've never had a problem.
	I wonder what's going on.
	Who'd you fly with?
	What was the carrier?
	Delta.
	Delta.
	Who I fly with all the time.
	Delta doesn't like you.
	No, Delta has nothing to do with it.
	The other one's a dead...
	It has to be on the boarding pass.
	That's Delta's responsibility.
	No, they check the TSA database and then the TSA says yes or no.
	It doesn't matter.
	I have one.
	Yeah, I'm sure.
	Maybe it's on the boarding pass.
	You just don't know where it is.
	No, it's not about me not knowing where it is.
	It's not on the boarding pass, John.
	I know how this works.
	Excuse me.
	So you're saying they're out to get you?
	No, I'm saying that it's not random and something...
	I don't think they're out to get me, no.
	I don't.
	But if it happens again, yeah, this is not just random.
	Forget about it.
	Maybe we have a TSA listener who just does...
	I don't know.
	It's possible.
	This will be fun to see what he does.
	This will be part of the show now.
	Yeah.
	Well, then do something original, people.
	I'm arrested.
	I want to finish up this Cosby thing.
	I have a little clip, in case you didn't hear it, because this was the best I've ever heard, considering the circumstances.
	Don Lemon talking to Joan Tarsian.
	Oh yeah, Joan, the one who, she's the one.
	Her story, I read her story, just as a little background.
	She's the last one to come out of the woodwork.
	You know her?
	Does Mimi know her?
	You say that like you guys know her.
	No.
	I just read this explanation.
	She was 19.
	She was a writer, a comedy writer.
	She was going to write a monologue.
	He took her to his place, drugged her with some specific drink, And then when she woke up, she found he was starting to take her pants off.
	So I thought that was strange.
	Peculiar.
	Peculiar.
	You'd think when you were drugged, you would get the pants off and then be done with you by the time you woke up.
	But no.
	And then she says she got a call.
	She was irked.
	I'd say the least, but she didn't call anybody to do anything about it.
	She went home to her parents, and then Cosby called, inviting her to some event.
	And their parents were all giddy, and so she felt she had to go.
	So she went.
	Right.
	Anyway, and then the second time, he offers her a drink, and she says, okay, and drinks it and gets drugged again.
	All right.
	It doesn't make any sense to anybody.
	No, we do need to stop this, but I need to play this.
	Yes, we have to stop.
	I didn't want to talk about this.
	But it's funny.
	Here's Don Lemon talking to her, and he has a very important question, which I think Don Lemon should be fired for this.
	I mean, fired.
	Why women are not up in arms about...
	If someone comes out and says, I was raped, the first thing you can never say, why didn't you defend yourself?
	That's crazy that you say that, but then the way he said it...
	Just topped everything, and I don't understand why people are not up in arms.
	I do.
	Because women really are shitty, lazy people.
	They only do something when the media is telling you to.
	Can I add to that?
	Why they're not up in arms?
	Nobody watches CNN. Lied to him and said, I have an infection.
	And if you...
	Oh yeah, so she said, I have an infection, you don't want venereal disease.
	Or if you have intercourse with me, then you will probably get it and give it to your wife.
	You said he made you perform oral sex.
	Right.
	I thought she was drugged.
	You know, there are ways not to perform oral sex if you want to do it.
	I was kind of stoned at the time, and quite honestly, that didn't even enter my mind.
	Now, I wish it would have.
	Right.
	Meaning the using of the teeth, right?
	Yes, that's what I'm thinking.
	Yeah, I didn't even think of it.
	I didn't even think of biting his dick off at the time.
	Thanks, Don, for the tip!
	God.
	It's terrible.
	It's horrific.
	Listen to the ending.
	Ouch.
	I had to ask.
	I'm a journalist.
	I had to ask.
	As a journalist, I had to ask, why didn't you bite his dick off?
	Fire that man!
	And I was cruising Facebook.
	Janice Dickinson, who is certifiably insane, I don't understand.
	Austin would be too small.
	Well, yeah.
	Well, Austin is too small.
	Yeah.
	Well, anyway, let's...
	Onward.
	Yeah, hold on.
	Anything like this.
	And now, back to real news.
	Exactly.
	Back to real news, everybody.
	I am loving the weather.
	I really am.
	It's chilly, isn't it?
	What?
	It's just funny.
	I don't even see people trying to explain it away as global warming or man-made global warming that is causing this climate change.
	I don't know if it's climate change, it's just cold.
	It's just cold that happens.
	NBC did a great job here.
	Global warming might be even worse.
	We're not for the impact of a rash of smaller volcanic eruptions around the globe.
	So now, these eruptions from the volcanoes are blasting more of an atmosphere-cooling gas into the lower stratosphere than scientists previously thought.
	Ooh!
	How come they couldn't predict you with their computer models?
	Computer models.
	I know.
	It's so crazy.
	Well, we have something new that this just came out, which I guess is...
	I don't know if this is perfect timing or not.
	Let me read the White House press release.
	So we had John P. Holdren.
	This guy is an idiot.
	Did you see this Ask Dr.
	H? Ask Dr.
	H? Yeah.
	He did a social media campaign, and he had a...
	John P. Holdren, who was the president's...
	The director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
	This is the guy who, in 71, said, watch out for global cooling.
	The same guy.
	So they did an Ask Dr.
	H, and we'll answer it in a future YouTube video.
	You want to hear some of the questions that were asked?
	I'm all ears.
	These guys will never learn.
	How stupid can you be to do this?
	Question.
	Please comment on report from nature.
	Oh, that's not a funny one.
	Here we go.
	Why did you predict the new ice age in 1971?
	There's a picture.
	Of an article of him predicting the new ice age in 1971.
	Ask Dr.
	H. Hashtag.
	The EPA says heat waves were much worse in the 1930s.
	Why are you claiming otherwise with a picture of EPA graph data?
	They're all over it.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Ask Dr.
	H. What was the climate control knob during 70s ice age scare and why did it switch to CO2 during AGW scare?
	How does that even work?
	Ask Dr.
	H, why did NASA recently tamper with their own temperature data to make it appear to be warming faster with the picture?
	All of this stuff.
	Ask Dr.
	H, why is Antarctic sea ice extent at a record high in 2014?
	I don't know why these guys do this.
	Do they really think that they can just cherry pick the good ones?
	This is like the White House initiative.
	The number one petition was legalized marijuana.
	So now they came out with, I guess this is why they were doing this, a toolkit.
	That's right.
	It's been a big week for United States efforts on climate change.
	I'm reading from the White House.
	On November 12th, President Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping announced historic actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
	Today, we're announcing important steps that the administration is taking here at home to help communities respond to and prepare for a changing climate, everybody.
	Oh, yes.
	Yes, this is what we talked about in the last show, as you recall.
	But we didn't have the toolkit.
	No, the toolkit's new.
	The Climate Resilience Toolkit.
	And I shall give you the URL of said toolkit.
	Toolkit.climate.gov.
	Now I want you to go to this website, and then go to the Climate Explorer under the Tools section.
	This is genius.
	And while you're going there, I'll start telling you.
	So you have a map of the United States.
	You have to launch the toolkit.
	Launch Climate Explorer.
	I'm now a climate explorer.
	Here's what I like.
	This line.
	I find out how people are building resilience because we're all going to die.
	If you launch the Climate Explorer, there's a map of the United States.
	You get to click these little boxes.
	And so I have a little box here.
	Inundation from sea level rise at three feet.
	You click the box and you see how many coastal areas will be just flooded with water.
	And then coastal vulnerability to sea level rise.
	You click that box and there's red.
	And oh my goodness, Houston is underwater now.
	You can zoom in and see if you're going to be drowning.
	So they're showing you a map of how you're going to drown.
	You can click the little boxes.
	Yeah.
	Corpus Christi.
	Goodbye, Corpus.
	You're dead.
	You're dead, Corpus.
	It's really unbelievable.
	And I wish we could save this whole application.
	Well, we have enough technical expertise in our listening audience that we probably could save it if somebody actually went through the trouble to do so.
	Well, you have to get the data, their data.
	You could spider the whole thing, this whole page.
	Get all the data, get everything you need.
	Did you launch the Climate Explorer?
	I'm looking at it now.
	I'll click on inundation.
	Uh-oh.
	And look at where you live.
	You're going to be dead, man.
	No, no.
	I'm going to have seafront probably.
	Oh, that's right.
	You're on the hill.
	500 feet.
	I'm sorry.
	You're on the hill.
	Yes.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Let me take...
	Okay, here's the two-foot.
	I just did the one-foot thing.
	I didn't do the two-foot.
	Let me try the three-foot.
	Yeah.
	Look, I'm dead.
	Actually, in Austin, we will have beachfront property.
	It'll just be 20 minutes to the coast.
	It's going to be great.
	Yeah, it sounds like a winner.
	The value of everything is going to go up.
	It's going to cost more to live there.
	I should buy now while stocks last.
	Oh, and you have to slip in the population density.
	Yeah, I know.
	Isn't that great?
	Yeah, you have to slip that bull crap in there.
	That's cool.
	Oh, four feet, five feet, six feet.
	Okay, inundation from sea level, I have six feet.
	How's that going to work?
	IBM has now sold two Watson supercomputers to NOAA so they can create even more complex and more accurate models.
	And then the Watson guy can say something.
	Oh, you will all die.
	So we had an important vote in, and this was very interesting to watch on C-SPAN.
	I had to watch the recorded version because I think I was on the air, not able to watch it live.
	We had the vote of the XL, the Keystone XL.
	Yeah, I watched the entire thing too.
	I do have a couple of clips.
	And of course the newsletter has a picture showing, which I think was photoshopped, a bogus picture of a small playground, which somebody else, by the way, identified where There was a playground that did have a little bit of the background of the refinery, and it did have everything but didn't have that tire hanging there.
	I had pictures of the whole thing.
	Just for people who have not subscribed to the newsletter, subscribe to the newsletter.
	Every show notes on the page, there's a link.
	You click that, you subscribe to the newsletter.
	This was a deconstruction in the newsletter.
	And it was nice because it was a photo deconstruction.
	Just run through it again, John, just so people understand what they mean.
	Well, Nancy Pelosi, in fact, we have the clip here, so let's play this clip.
	Nancy Pelosi was talking, and she's the one who led the defeat, the XL pipeline.
	Pelosi or Boxer?
	I'm sorry.
	There's a difference.
	I keep forgetting.
	Yeah.
	Boxer.
	Boxer tried to fuck you, and Pelosi didn't.
	Boxer...
	You're going to have to tell the story.
	You're going to have to tell the story.
	No, no, not me.
	I never drove her.
	It was everybody else.
	Just tell it briefly.
	Tell the story again.
	Boxer, and by the way, this is what really got me about this presentation she made, because she used to be on the board of the Air Pollution Control District in the Bay Area.
	She knows better than to do what she did.
	She actually has some expertise in air pollution because she's been listening to you.
	She knows pretty much...
	From the early days when she was, I think she was either an Assemblywoman City Council or something from Marin County.
	And this is when you were working with her?
	I was working with her and Feinstein, as a matter of fact, both of them.
	They were both on this board.
	And...
	And were you serving coffee or were you on the board?
	I wasn't doing anything.
	I was working in the field doing what I'm supposed to be doing.
	But if you were in and out of the office during one of these meetings, Boxer, and this was very well known amongst the inspectors of which I was one, Boxer would try to get a ride home from one of them and then put the move on him.
	I love this story.
	And so all the guys would say, oh my god, yo, don't be around because Boxer's there.
	I gotta go now because I don't want to be the last one.
	I don't want to have to drive her home.
	So she's shot out of the office and you always have to be some executive or one of the top guys or something.
	So do you know guys who actually did her?
	I don't, thinking about it, I know guys who were propositioned.
	I don't know any guys.
	I don't know for a fact that anybody did or nobody did.
	They should come out now and say they were sexually harassed by her.
	This would be perfect.
	That would be funny.
	It would be definitely funny.
	It was sexual harassment.
	There's no doubt about it.
	So she comes down on the Senate floor and she's trying to defeat this thing.
	And it's mentioned, I do have a bunch of different clips that talk about how ludicrous this whole thing is.
	It was really a symbolic thing.
	Why do you think it was symbolic?
	This is just a piece of pipeline, right?
	White House and Markey, whatever his name is from Massachusetts, they come out and blame the whole thing on global warming.
	And it's going to make global warming worse.
	And we're irresponsible if we put this pipeline in because of global warming.
	Yeah.
	It was a symbolic thing.
	It was all about global warming and dirty oil, which is Boxer's thing.
	So I have Boxer.
	She comes out, and I have the clip.
	You can hear it.
	And during this clip, she brings out this photo, which is in the newsletter.
	If you go to the newsletter, you can see the photo, showing a playground within the background of obviously Photoshop mess of the refinery with Four or five distinct black plumes coming out of one of them.
	I think it was coming out of a distillation tower, which makes no sense.
	It kind of looked like the Simpsons.
	It was a joke.
	And it was a fraud.
	And it was bullcrap.
	And I did do some research, and I found a picture of that refinery.
	Flaring, which means usually when a refinery has a problem and goes down, they're shutting things down, they have to do something with the stuff in process, so they ship it to the flares, and out it goes out to flare, and it creates this big flame, which may or may not smoke, usually it does, as they shut down whatever process.
	You are a scientist, because you...
	I worked in two refineries, so I know about the process.
	You're big oil, baby.
	I'm big oil.
	Okay.
	So the flaring takes place, but when there's flaring, there's always a flame.
	And so if this was a photo of the flaring alone, that she had somehow jerry-rigged into this picture, or somebody managed to catch it during this unlikely coincidence at the park, There would have been flames.
	There was nothing.
	It was just straight smoke.
	And that is not going to happen under any circumstances ever at an oil refinery.
	This is a lie.
	And she, as an air pollution person, you know, was on a board at an air pollution district, knows better.
	And so she came up with this blatant lie, presented it to the Senate.
	Nobody calls her on it.
	Nobody says anything.
	Oh, okay.
	Oh, this is so horrible.
	And nobody wants to live around a refinery that's And by the way, I'll mention just in passing, the Port Arthur Refinery down in Port Arthur, Texas, outside of Houston, is one of the biggest in the world and is designed to take huge amounts of crude oil from Saudi Arabia and every place else and refine it rather nicely.
	It's a very advanced operation.
	She keeps talking about, by the way, in this little speech you're going to hear, about it's only going to be 50 jobs.
	And she's referring to there will be 50 more jobs at the refinery, apparently, if they bring the pipeline in.
	To be honest about it, I don't know why there'd even be one more job at the refinery.
	The refinery runs in capacity.
	So why do they need more people?
	It's beyond me.
	Whatever the case, here is Boxer.
	I keep wanting to say Pelosi because I think they go to the same Botox person.
	Really, John, that's unnecessary.
	I'm sorry I'm so sorry.
	Because it ruins my whole argument.
	Yeah, it does.
	Yeah, it does.
	It lessens me as a person.
	Yes, it does.
	So let's play this.
	Building a pipeline that is going to carry the dirtiest oil that we know of.
	And this dirty oil is already causing lots of problems.
	Where it is refined in Port Arthur, Texas, I met with the people there.
	I met with the people there.
	You know, senators don't live near refineries.
	Now, again, if I'm wrong on that, I would like to be corrected.
	People live near refineries.
	Sometimes it's where affordable housing is.
	And this is what it looks like.
	And they don't want this stuff.
	And all the talk, jobs, jobs, jobs.
	Let's be clear, the CEO of the company said 50 jobs.
	Hold on a second.
	Hold on a second.
	She can't say that.
	She says it.
	She says, all we hear is jobs, jobs, jobs.
	Well, who said jobs, jobs, jobs?
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yay!
	That's her own party member, Pelosi, who said that.
	Yeah, well, they're all saying it.
	So you want to lay this kind of misery on people who live in this community?
	Vote aye.
	That's fine.
	But just take a look at this.
	Just take a look at this.
	You don't see many kids playing in this playground because this pollution is vicious.
	Oh!
	Wrong summer!
	It has more heavy metals.
	It causes asthma.
	The pollutants cause cancer.
	We're talking about lead.
	We're talking about sulfur.
	In very, very heavy quantities.
	So let's be clear.
	You don't see my friends who support this talking about what happens when you refine.
	But that's what happens.
	Wait a minute, but the pipeline's not a refinery.
	No, but that's what happens when that oil gets to that refinery.
	It's going to be a smoke and just a pile of smoke and people are going to die in the streets because they have no air pollution control and apparently the EPA, which is so rough and tumble, can't seem to do anything about it.
	She is lying through her teeth.
	She is a horrible woman.
	But then she has a little kicker in there.
	I think there's more to that clip.
	No, that was the end.
	Oh.
	Okay.
	Sorry.
	Well, that's okay.
	I got more.
	Okay.
	Good.
	What you got?
	Oh, yeah.
	This is the one.
	This is the one.
	This is the long one.
	Barbara Boxer on clean air and water.
	And she drops the bomb in there everyone has to use.
	This recession we've seen since the Great Depression, and I put those statistics...
	These, the words that says it's the Great Depression, I'm so tired of that.
	I'm so tired of hearing that.
	Wait until 2017.
	What are you going to say then?
	The worst depression since the Great Recession before the Great Depression?
	Into the record.
	Now, I've got to say this.
	In all the years I've been in public life, starting when I was a county official, not one...
	Trying to give BJ's for rides home, baby.
	...stituent ever came up to me and said, Barbara, the air is too clean.
	Oh God, my air is so clean.
	The water I drink is so pure.
	Please, don't get in the way of making it dirty.
	Now, I've been in office for a very long time.
	She's even cracking herself up now.
	She's like, I can't believe these people are listening to me.
	No one has ever said that.
	On the contrary.
	Oh, gee, I love my government.
	They're doing a great job.
	Did you ever hear that, Barbara?
	What they say to me is, please, my child has asthma.
	Please, don't back off.
	Don't let big oil or big coal or the Koch brothers or whoever it is stand in the way of my family having a good quality of life.
	Now we can take a look at a country where...
	The Koch brothers are killing my child and giving it asthma.
	Those Koch brothers.
	Those crappy Koch brothers.
	Unbelievable.
	Horrible men.
	Horrible, horrible, horrible.
	Do you have any more?
	I got the one other one that was the sidebar, which I'll play later if we need to play it.
	So then we had the vote.
	The funny thing about the vote is the...
	Just missed by one, right?
	I don't know.
	Yeah, I think it was 59 votes.
	I thought it was...
	Okay.
	Madam President was Pocahontas.
	Yeah.
	Elizabeth Warren.
	Pocahontas was in the catbird seat.
	And something happened which was deconstructed by Dame Bang Bang.
	Dame Bang Bang, as you know, is the dame who rules over our knight Sir D.H. Slammer.
	Now, Dame Bang Bang is a Native American.
	A real one.
	A real Native American.
	Not like Pocahontas Warren.
	Elizabeth Warren.
	Christine Warren.
	Diane Warren.
	And so the votes, the nays have it, and I'll let you hear what happens first, and then I'll narrate along with what Dame Bang Bang said.
	The bill is not passed.
	Under the previous order, the Senate will proceed to executive session to consider the following nominations, which the clerk will report.
	Nominations, the judiciary.
	Leslie Joyce Abrams of Georgia.
	Sergeant at Arms will restore order.
	So what happens is there's some Native Americans up in the gallery who start singing.
	This is actually chanting.
	And this is a prayer as Dame Bang Bang deconstructed.
	But she said she looked at the cameras on Pocahontas.
	She has no idea what's going on.
	She doesn't recognize it as a prayer.
	You can see it in her face.
	She's like, is someone yelling at me?
	What is it?
	Is a fire alarm going off?
	And immediately calls for sergeant in arms.
	Restore order.
	Order in the gallery.
	Order in the gallery.
	It's kind of beautiful, too.
	Nice sound.
	Yeah.
	So Dame Bang Bang wants us to know that by analyzing Elizabeth Pocahontas Warren's reaction, she has no idea what that is.
	Further...
	Yeah, further proves that she's a big phony, like Barbara Boxer.
	Yes, yes, that would be it.
	That would be it.
	Yeah, they're all phonies.
	Well, surprise, surprise.
	Yeah, we'll have a clip later, you know, discussion of, you know, Pat Leahy tried to push through.
	Oh, do you want to do it now?
	Because I got a couple things.
	The rundown of the whole thing.
	They tried to pass a bill.
	This is the cyber sharing bill.
	They tried to get this.
	Well, this is the one where they tried to put a leash on the NSA. The amendment where telcos would keep the records instead of the government having the metadata.
	Also, you had to, for the NSA to look at anything, they needed a warrant.
	There was a number of aspects.
	Well, just to be true to the amendment, because I read it, They could ask for one within two weeks after if it was an emergency like a pending 9-11 attack or something.
	This was the Leahy bill we're talking about.
	Amendment.
	Amendment.
	Is that right?
	Yes.
	Let's play this clip because the thing that was interesting to me was it was the Republicans who blocked this and they were the freedom and liberty folks supposedly.
	I'll tell you what.
	I have a clip to set up your clip.
	Okay.
	This is Saxby Chambliss, blowhard Chambliss.
	Yeah, he's the one who was against it.
	Yeah, he's going to explain the Leahy Amendment.
	Will that help, or do you want to...
	Yeah, no, Chambliss is a douchebag of the highest order.
	I just want to say something.
	You're doing the yeah, no a lot.
	I'm doing yeah, no?
	Yeah, yeah, no.
	You know, that's funny because this is the one thing I have never even tried to stop myself from doing.
	I do it myself.
	I don't know what it sounds like.
	I have to listen to a show.
	I am now trying to catch it because I do it too.
	Well, you catch me a couple more times and I'll try to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
	Okay.
	Here's Saxby Chambliss who was against this thing.
	Now, with respect to our privacy folks, gosh, we need to be really protective of privacy issues in this country.
	We live under a constitution that has survived for an excess of 200 years.
	It has lots of privacy protections in it, and all of us want to see that happen.
	Let me just tell you what's going to happen if this amendment comes to the floor and should happen to pass today.
	The metadata that is collected by the NSA can be accessed by 22 individuals.
	22!
	They should have done 33.
	It would have been much cooler.
	That means there's an opportunity for leaks to occur or for individual privacy rights to be breached by 22 people.
	If this amendment ever became law, all of a sudden, all of the telecoms are going to be holding this metadata information as opposed to the NSA holding it.
	Which, by the way, they have it already, idiot.
	They create the metadata information, but okay.
	All of those telecoms have thousands of employees.
	Lots of whom have access to this, will have access to this metadata.
	You should have said, have you ever spoken to one of those employees on the help desk?
	Oh, lordy me!
	Those people are going to have access to the metadata?
	So instead of having the potential for 22 people to breach the privacy rights of American citizens, all of a sudden you're going to have thousands of opportunities for the privacy rights of Americans to be breached.
	Okay.
	I think that's far enough.
	Is that enough information?
	Yeah, I guess so.
	You can play the...
	And this is sketchy, and the whole thing is moot because they have to redo the Patriot Act anyway, and of course it's going to be worse.
	We know that.
	This whole thing is a big scam, but for some reason I didn't want this Leahy thing to go through, and it was all because of Mitch McConnell.
	And play the Leahy thing, and then I want to say what I think.
	Joining me now to discuss what comes next for NSA reform in Congress is Democratic Senator from Vermont, Patrick Leahy.
	Leahy, who is chairman of the Senate Judiciary...
	You didn't tell me it was Gwen.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's Gwen, our geographer, Gwen Eiffel.
	Yes, Gwen.
	Gwen Eiffel.
	The Sherry Committee co-sponsored the legislation that failed last night.
	We reached out to several Republicans who opposed the bill who were not available to us tonight.
	Senator, part of the debate last night was whether your solution to this issue went too far or didn't go far enough.
	Where did it land?
	Well, we got 58 votes out of 100 senators.
	Normally, that'd be enough to pass a bill, but the Republican leader wanted it filibustered and wanted it blocked, did not want to have amendments, did not want to go forward, and he was able to keep most of the members of his caucus with him to do it.
	I think that's a mistake.
	We all know there's got to be changes in the NSA program.
	We all know there's going to have to be changes in these intelligence programs.
	We had a good compromise.
	One, the House of Representatives would have accepted.
	Let's go forward with it.
	Let's do it.
	Because next year, everything expires anyway.
	I'd love to hear your analysis.
	I do think I have a second clip that...
	Before the vote came in, that might be interesting just to add to that.
	This is, again, Chambliss telling us what will happen if we don't do the right thing with this cyber stuff.
	There are any number of reasons why the substance of this bill is totally flawed.
	We live in a dangerous world today.
	We all know and understand that.
	Okay.
	John, do you know and understand how dangerous the world is that we live in today?
	I'm shaking in my boots now.
	And while this bill, the provisions in this bill, wouldn't have prohibited ISIL from being formed, it didn't prevent ISIL from being formed.
	But what it does do is the provisions in the underlying FISA bill gives our intelligence community all the tools they need to make sure that We have to understand that even though this wouldn't have prevented ISIL from farming, ISIL will come and kill you if we don't would, too, losing the right problem of hand.
	When ISIL recruits individuals to go to Syria to fight, if it's Americans they're trying to recruit, we can find out about that.
	Listen carefully to what he's saying.
	Somehow, with metadata...
	We're going to find out if you're being recruited, which doesn't mean you're doing anything illegal.
	No one's done anything illegal at this point.
	But this a-hole wants to make sure we find out if you're being recruited.
	And we have under surveillance today any number of individuals who we think have been committed to jihad who live in America.
	Secondly...
	John, are you committed to jihad?
	I never met the guy.
	There's another part of their recruiting that is even more dangerous than asking young men and women to come to Syria to fight for ISIL. Oh my goodness.
	Could there be anything more dangerous and crazy?
	Let's listen to them.
	They want people to go into the Parliament in Canada and start killing people.
	Well, they did a pretty good job on that one.
	We'll mark one for the killing people in Parliament.
	Very good.
	They want people to walk the streets of New York and pull out a gun or a hatchet or whatever it may be.
	Yeah, we got that one good.
	That's already done.
	What's next?
	Start killing people.
	If we eliminate this program, and that's basically what the Leahy Amendment does, Then we're going to take a tool away from our intelligence community that's not going to allow them to be able to interrupt and disrupt those types of terrorist attacks.
	What?
	So let me ask you a question.
	No, no, no.
	Please, let me ask you the question.
	Let me ask you the question.
	Seeing as this tool has not been taken away and is in place, how then is it possible that these things actually happened?
	How did the guy with the hatchet do his thing if they're all over it?
	Thank you!
	The guy is full of shit!
	And no one says, uh, excuse me, Senator?
	How is it possible that our tools are now in place and not taken away yet by the Leahy Amendment that these things actually happened?
	Yeah, why wasn't he stopped?
	Well, anyway, so we got the shambless guy and I think Mitch McConnell both.
	This is a basic thesis of the show that we've agreed on.
	The reason that they stopped it is because the NSA told them to stop it and the NSA has both of them under their control because of blackmail.
	This is a blackmail situation.
	This is a good example of it.
	We need to transition to Uncle Dom pretty quickly.
	Okay.
	Do you want to do it now?
	I think so.
	Okay.
	So you went to visit Uncle...
	Well, let's...
	Is there anything we can do for...
	I mean...
	Yes, this is the Uncle Don tune.
	So you, Adam Curry, went to visit Uncle Don.
	Yes, and Aunt Meg.
	And Aunt Meg.
	Remember, she was at the Russian desk for the CIA when they met.
	Right, okay, so there's a couple of your relatives, essentially, that are, and they're retired, and then, you know...
	Well, not really.
	Uncle Don is the chairman of the Pacific Century Institute.
	Yes.
	Formerly chairman of the Korean Society.
	Formerly ambassador to South Korea.
	Right.
	Formerly CIA OSS. Now, to transition, I asked...
	And I had a six-hour visit...
	Nice!
	Six hours.
	And he had a little bit...
	86, both of them are.
	They're 86 years old.
	And we take the Scarsdale Express from Grand Central Station up to North White Plains.
	Aunt Meg, 86, in the rain, in her Hyundai, picks us up.
	And she's got a lead foot, man.
	Yeah, great.
	And like an 86-year-old woman driving like a man.
	I'm like, aquaplaning is real.
	She's chatting away.
	But Omega's pretty awesome.
	Interesting.
	They drive a Hyundai.
	Oh, they've always driven Asian cars.
	But yes, Hyundai, of course.
	Yeah, Korean.
	And you need to know that Uncle Don has been to North Korea six times in the past year alone.
	Yeah, yeah.
	On behalf of PCI. So, I talked about so much, and actually I sent you an email, so you need to kind of interview me, because I wrote as much down as I could remember.
	I didn't want to be taking notes, look like a douchebag.
	No, you look like a douchebag.
	Right.
	But as a family member, you're just having a conversation.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	Just so you know, Uncle Don, he's a career spook.
	And he would never tell me anything...
	If he didn't think it was possible that I would tell someone else to put it on the air.
	But he feels comfortable enough, this time, to tell me a lot.
	This guy is smart.
	He's smart as a whip.
	Don't worry.
	Nothing he told me.
	He won't even tell me about other family members.
	I mean, he knows what not to say.
	Who else in the family is a spy?
	Or what they did.
	He knows who's a spy, but what they did, he won't tell.
	Okay, so the reason why I bring this up is I was talking about Snowden, and I slipped in there the animosity between CIA and the NSA. Ah, one of our theses.
	Yes.
	And he says, well...
	By the way, this note you supposedly sent me is not here.
	There's nothing new in my inbox.
	No, but you replied to it.
	You said, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Okay, okay.
	Hello?
	Okay.
	Well, I thought you had like a huge list.
	No, no, no.
	You're just going to ask these things.
	Okay, go on.
	And it may be three weeks from now I'll remember something else.
	I mean, six hours is a lot.
	This is material for the show, and we have to assume since he is a trained expert, he knows exact, and they know about the show because your aunt listens to the show.
	Well, not only that, but he sends me his own interviews to clip on the show.
	So this was meant to be aired and we're exclusive with it.
	We are totally exclusive with this.
	Now, Uncle Don started at the CIA in crypto.
	He was a cryptographer.
	So he said to me, he said, I never wanted to be, I never went to NSA, never wanted to be NSA, because of their culture.
	He said, their culture is, oh, we're in here, let's just take everything, you never know what's good for later.
	Thereby implying exactly what our thesis is.
	The NSA takes all this stuff, and I said, like blackmail, and he nods and says, oh yeah.
	Blackmail?
	He nodded his head?
	Yes, sir.
	Okay.
	You don't have to call me sir.
	I'm enlisted.
	And he also said, I have empathy for Snowden.
	Which is not the CIA line, I might point out.
	Not publicly.
	It may be the CIA internal line.
	Which, here you go, there's kind of proof as he's saying it.
	But it's interesting, if you read his book, which I don't think you've read it yet...
	I've looked at it.
	Yes, did you like the cover?
	No, I think the whole book improved the packaging and everything.
	I agree, I agree.
	He says, I have empathy for Snowden, because in his book, he explains how Don went against orders, broke the rule, violated orders, which wound up saving the future president of...
	Of Korea's life, who then eliminated all the nukes and put them under control.
	And you have to read the story about how he did that.
	But he could have gone to jail for a long time for what he did, but he broke those rules and it turned out he actually saved a lot of lives and became kind of a hero for it.
	And this is what a lot of his speeches are, is about breaking the rules when you feel that it's something you need to do.
	And he says, therefore, he has empathy for Snowden.
	I thought that'd be very interesting.
	It also fits right in with our thesis.
	And he also says that that's probably one of the, you know, just one of the reasons that there are people who hate Russia and Putin is because Snowden is there.
	There are other feces.
	I'm telling you, this whole conversation, John, was, there were some mind-boggling things, like he doesn't know who Cass Sunstein is, he doesn't know Samantha Powers.
	He doesn't know anything, but he knows, obviously, when I say this, oh, yeah, he doesn't know anything about it.
	But everything was so spot on in our thinking, it was just mind-boggling.
	Yeah.
	Now, do you want me to just stop here and come back later?
	It doesn't surprise me in the least.
	Do you want me to...
	Where would you like me to go with this?
	Because there's so many...
	Well, first of all, the questions.
	You had questions.
	I wrote them down.
	And I said, I have questions from John.
	Okay, what was one of them?
	What did you ask him?
	Okay, so I asked him first about Pacific Century Institute.
	I said, what exactly is this?
	I presume this is a group representing business interests who want to do business in North Korea.
	He said, yeah, absolutely.
	Even though if you look at their website, it doesn't exactly say it in those words.
	Like, yeah, we want relations between North Korea.
	Okay.
	Sorry?
	One of the questions I want to ask earlier than later is the vacation.
	Yes, that was the question.
	I wrote it down.
	How serious is North Korea about creating a tourist destination?
	Answer?
	Deadly serious.
	Absolutely number one on the list.
	There you have it.
	I love it.
	We're great.
	We really are fantastic.
	No wonder people like this show.
	Yeah.
	So then we got into this whole thing about the guy who was there and how he got it.
	Don is an absolute guy.
	So the basketball...
	No, not the...
	We didn't talk about it.
	The Todd Miller guy, I wrote it down.
	I think I wrote down the words I thought he...
	He said, that was a stupid troublemaker kid.
	And I said, I think it was a spook.
	He said, no, he's a spook wannabe.
	He was there, he was trying, he was like, oh, I'm gonna do, oh, I'm gonna do something, and he just kept on.
	Oh, that's the kid who tore up his visa.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah, no, he, I, you know, looking at it, that's not what a spook would do to get, no.
	Right.
	I think, yeah, it's gotta be just some, right.
	He said stupid troublemaker kid was his exact words.
	What a stupid kid.
	He said a spook wannabe, and I think, in hindsight, it might have been someone working for Vice or something.
	Someone trying to get some ink on something.
	This guy may come out with this.
	Yeah, we'll find out.
	Yeah, we'll find out eventually.
	So they decided to teach him a lesson, so they just threw him in a slammer for a while.
	Yeah, and neither of these guys were in the big work camp gulags.
	No, of course not.
	At all.
	If they let him go, they'd have to report on it.
	They don't want that.
	Now, the basketball connection, John didn't really pick up on that.
	Okay, well, that may just be our...
	Yes, but sometimes, you know, when he goes silent, for example, a couple times, I think...
	Oh, so I'm going to preface what you're going to say.
	What you're going to say is that occasionally you'd ask a certain kind of question that he doesn't have the right...
	He knows that he can't answer the question.
	Yes.
	Especially since we've already answered the question.
	Yes.
	And we have it right, but he's not going to confirm it for some reason.
	Because it's underway.
	It's an operation underway.
	Could be an op on the road.
	Correct.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Where was I? So you're saying you'd ask a question, you were going to cite a question that he would go silent on.
	Right.
	So the basketball thing, maybe he doesn't care, it's also possible, but he is a big fan of Kim Jong-un.
	And he says, this kid is really in control.
	He doesn't even say kid, he says man.
	This man is in control.
	A lot of people are very hopeful about what he can do for North Korea.
	But And then we kind of went through what happened.
	And we went back in history a bit.
	Do you remember the leap day agreement?
	Because Don has been in a lot of these meetings.
	By the way, he finally got a call from the State Department.
	I think he's there today.
	Now all of a sudden someone might want to talk to him about helping out with something.
	But that is probably related to Moscow, which we'll get to later.
	So they were in a room.
	And senior officials in North Korea, a couple of them are women, by the way, which you'd never really hear about.
	You'd think that women are just to plow in the field or anything.
	And they said point blank, and this came on the heels of me saying, is John Kerry a moron?
	I think I asked it like that.
	And his initial answer was, well, the more you know the guy, the less I like him.
	Yeah, that's a common theme.
	Common comment.
	So they were in the room.
	This is 2012, I think?
	I think it's 2012.
	And the senior North Korean officials said, we are willing to give up all our nuclear armaments.
	Everything.
	We're good to go.
	And Carrie walked in to the meeting.
	Do you want me to finish up a little bit?
	We'll continue after our break.
	No, we're going to take a break, and then we'll go right back into it.
	I've got the notes where we left off.
	Well, then let me say this.
	Thank you for your courage.
	And in the morning to you, John C. stands for Carbon Pollution Dvorak.
	In the morning to you, Adam Curry.
	In the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	And in the morning to the chat room who were online during this thing that broke down, just letting them know.
	We were talking about North Korea, Uncle Don, the CIA, and then my stuff here blew up.
	The data center went down.
	It was like...
	Okay.
	We're getting to a very unique point in the conversation.
	And you have noted what I was saying, so we'll get back to that in a moment.
	I know exactly what to do.
	Noagendastream.com.
	And thank you, Void Zero, for being all over this and working on whatever.
	And we are reconnected.
	Hopefully it'll last for a little bit.
	Also, thank you to our artists.
	Martin J.J. brought us the artwork.
	Martin J.J. back in the fold.
	And I believe Nick the Rat did the art for the newsletter.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes.
	NoahArtGenerator.com.
	We really do love the world.
	Those two guys are hard to beat.
	Those guys.
	All right, so let's thank a few people.
	We do have a few people to thank.
	Who, by the way, are probably going to be targeted as well.
	They won't be targeted.
	Nobody's targeted.
	Oh, easy for you to say, Kimo Sabe.
	You may be targeted, but all I know is nobody else.
	It's just a coincidence.
	It's okay.
	It's just a coincidence.
	It's just a coincidence.
	We do have a few people to thank.
	It's Koch Brothers.
	Do we have to thank them?
	Say Koch Brothers.
	Koch Brothers!
	That's usually what brings it down, right?
	And what's the new one we got?
	We have two, actually.
	Oh, I did want to hear them both.
	Okay.
	The first one we have is...
	Black Pete!
	And the second one is actually one for you.
	Bill O'Reilly!
	Black Pete.
	It's good until December 5th.
	Yeah, this is going to be a...
	Who is that again?
	Is it Josh?
	Our producer who does those.
	Hold on.
	Fletcher.
	Fletcher.
	John Fletcher.
	Fletcher.
	He has defined...
	I have to say this for Fletcher.
	I knew his name.
	Doing that, that Hogan thing, which is what it's a takeoff of.
	We don't even have a Hogan version.
	No, we don't even have a Hogan.
	Hogan!
	Anyway, to do that with that...
	The crack and flair and the style is very, very difficult.
	I don't think we could find anyone else who could do as good a job.
	That's astonishing.
	And people try.
	They'll send me their versions, but it's partially...
	It's also the recording technique.
	It's the way...
	Yeah, he's doing everything right.
	Everything.
	It's everything.
	And he'll send me a note.
	He'll say, Oh, you know, I was on my way home at 3 in the morning, but I just whipped this one up for you.
	BLACKPINK! Yeah, and it's understandable, and it's screaming.
	It's very good.
	Outstanding.
	So we have a number of people to thank for show 671, starting with Thomas Butterick in Dayton, Ohio, who came in at $930.31 to close out his knighthood.
	Oh, for his knighthood.
	Beautiful.
	And I think he's on there, right?
	I'm going to make sure.
	I believe so.
	I just want to make sure we have a name if he had one.
	I wanted, and he sent a note in, and a lot of the note is private.
	Let me tell you, no, he is not on the list.
	Well, I should be.
	Yeah, I'm putting them on there.
	I wanted to give you all some post-666 love and obtain my knighthood before I hit the one-year mark of listening.
	You've profoundly changed my media consumption habits for the better.
	Keep it up, gents.
	Enclosed amount should round off my knighthood.
	Well, Derek didn't get this, so he doesn't know.
	Would like my title to be...
	You got a pen?
	Hold on.
	Oh, let me grab it.
	Not quite sure what this means, but it's amusing.
	I have my Energel liquid gel ink.
	Yeah.
	07.
	710.
	By the way, I wanted to mention this at the top of the show.
	I bought a Prestige pen, and I think anyone would be...
	Send me the link.
	Send me the link.
	We'll put it in the show notes.
	Well, I'm going to tell you what it is.
	It's a stainless steel Sharpie.
	Oh yes, Mickey has this.
	She's got one?
	She is a Sharpie queen.
	She loves the Sharpies.
	She's got them all.
	She has the stainless steel one.
	Yes, she does.
	That's the one.
	It's like the red stapler.
	Well, you're not saying it right then.
	Red stapler?
	Yeah.
	So it's a stainless steel...
	Oh, come on, Amazon.
	Okay, here's his title.
	Ready?
	Yes, ready.
	Sir Ladyfingers of the Displaced Texans.
	Sir Ladyfingers of the Displaced Texans.
	In honor of my birthday donation from my brother, Samuel, and college buddy, Andrew Smallman.
	Jingle request.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	I've got to put this in the birthdays.
	It's not in there either.
	Birthday is for his brother, Samuel, and his college buddy, Andrew Smallman.
	I'm sure I got this.
	Yeah, Smallman.
	Smallman.
	S-M-A-L-L-M-A-N. Smallman.
	Okay.
	Jingle request.
	Jingle request.
	Jingles.
	What do we got?
	Deutschland Blitzkrieg.
	Oh my goodness.
	Okay.
	Which is a marching thing, I believe, if I'm not mistaken.
	No, that's different.
	Okay, I don't know what this is.
	I know what Blitzkrieg is.
	I've got to find it.
	I think it's Deutschland Blitzkrieg.
	Deutschland, Blitzkrieg, Deutschland.
	Yeah, let me just find it.
	Okay.
	Two to the head.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	And by the way, I'm going to read this because it's not going to change anything.
	Two to the head for Andrew, Samuel, and all of the Deutsch bags of Germany.
	I'm trying to find...
	The Deutschland thing?
	Maybe I did that live.
	That's possible.
	I think I just did it.
	Oh yeah, that's what it is.
	That's what he says here.
	It says live read.
	Wait a minute.
	I gotta do a live read now?
	It says Jingle Recruits.
	I didn't read that.
	It says live read.
	Deutschland Blitzkrieg followed by Tudor the head and her head is gone and then you're done.
	He doesn't ask for karma.
	Yeah.
	I'll add that in, though.
	I'll add that in for him.
	Okay.
	Oh, that's not it.
	No, I don't think so.
	Crap.
	I had marching.
	I can get the marching going with my...
	Yeah, you do the marching sound, yeah.
	Let me find it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, jeez.
	What did I do with it?
	See?
	See how prepared you are?
	It's not that easy, is it?
	I got it.
	Yeah.
	faster you've got karma I'm sorry, but that was a real effort.
	We really did well on that one.
	Yeah, looking forward to the knighting ceremony, Thomas.
	Kristen Smith, 671 Blyton, Lincolnshire, UK. And he says, I do believe this makes me Sir Kristen of Lincolnshire.
	Mm-hmm.
	Since John put me onto it following a Twitter appearance, I've managed to hit my father in the mouth, although I believe he was.
	I believe it was he, although what?
	Although I believe it was he, although never hearing the best podcast in the universe had always been the propagator.
	Oh, no.
	So he was a listener all along.
	And somehow he's got it.
	However, I don't think he put his points across in an entertaining way as you two do.
	Please continue your work to enable us as slaves to eat our mac and cheese in peace.
	I do not have much to ask.
	Karma from my last donation has worked wonders.
	It did come up with this little jingle breakdown.
	And he wants the following.
	Hillary Clinton, little girl, don't eat me, Hillary.
	And Feinstein and Karma.
	The only thing I didn't have is Don't Eat Me.
	Don't Eat Me.
	I believe it came in at 671.
	Okay, let's see if I can try this.
	It's almost too delicious to believe, my friend.
	And her head is gone.
	You've got karma.
	We do our best.
	Now that was interesting because what it indicated that the little girl saying, don't eat me, Hillary, was eaten.
	Yes.
	And her head is gone.
	Her head is gone.
	We understood the gag.
	Yeah.
	Kristen Smith in...
	To be knighted today.
	Oh, we have another one.
	He got the two in.
	Oh, that's right.
	Oh!
	It's 20140 to round it off, I guess.
	Hopefully you find this week's producer list higher than the last few.
	And this is the one he wants to put in his daughter's name.
	This is not part of his knighthood.
	Lauren Smith, that's where he's listening.
	So he said 20140 is another donation.
	Now, she's...
	Let's put his daughter's name.
	I was listening to the show 667, and she put a birthday shout-out to me on that episode.
	That's true.
	It made me very emotional and proud hearing that she gave a donation to this podcast in the universe, bearing in mind that she doesn't have much pocket money and realizing I value the difference you make to my life with your expert analysis of the bull crap that's fed us on a daily basis.
	I'm a devoted listener, but I'm an old man being 30 years older than the show.
	She's only 37, but okay.
	She is the next generation.
	She's 13.
	The donation is a continuance of her damehood, which I hope we will be able to complete before she flies the nest for indebtedness to Her Majesty and Mr.
	Cameron as she seeks further education through college.
	Her latest episode Well, that's nice.
	I hope she did well.
	I hope she got a good mark.
	I'd love to read the essay.
	Actually, it would be interesting.
	We should...
	Anyway, that kid was 201.
	He combined them on the spreadsheet, particularly.
	So we go right up to Don DiTomaso di Toronto.
	Always on board.
	He's 34567.
	34567.
	I wish I could donate more.
	Karma, please.
	And none for the boners this time.
	All right, karma for you, my friend.
	And deserve.
	Thank you very much.
	You've got karma.
	Patrick Hamilton, 34567, a double, in Atlanta, Georgia.
	ITM gents, I was hitting the mouth this summer and figured out it was time to move from boner to donor.
	If you would be kind enough to provide a good de-douching, I know one is needed.
	I'd also like to request a double shot of fuck cancer, followed by fuck cancer in memory of my friend Steph, that recently passed from a rapidly progressing cancer.
	Thank you for your courage, and please continue the excellent work.
	Cheers.
	All right, absolutely.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	It actually kind of works a double shot that way.
	I like the explosion.
	The explosion at the end.
	Mike and Nikolai Chuck.
	Nikolai Chuck.
	In Saskatoon, the Paris of Canada up there, $200.
	He'll be associate executive producer.
	Loving the show lately, though hating my government.
	Fuck Harper.
	Anyway, this payment hereby concludes my second knighthood.
	I've been listening for four years now, and it would mean he's a baronet.
	And I'm happy to contribute to something that gives me weekly entertainment and feeds my cynical side.
	My last donation was for a job, Carmen.
	Guess what?
	It totally worked.
	I got the specific job I was asking for in an ideal time.
	Now my life is miserable as I am a project manager for industrial construction in the uranium industry.
	Thanks a lot.
	Keep your stick on the ice.
	Does he need some karma?
	Uh, yeah.
	It doesn't sound like he enjoyed it that much.
	Well, give him some more.
	There you go.
	You've got karma.
	Be careful what you wish.
	And finally, Stephanie Barlow in Vancouver, Washington, $200.
	We've got a couple of Canadians coming in.
	That's great.
	This is a donation from Tyler Fay of Vancouver, actually, not Stephanie.
	Please call out Ted as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	And he wants it announced during the December 7th show or during the week prior to that.
	Well...
	Close enough.
	We'll try to do that.
	You might want to send us a reminder.
	You might want to send us a reminder and Ted will get a double douchebag.
	That will conclude, by the way, our executive producers, associate executive producers for show 671.
	I want to thank people and remind them we do have a show coming up on the few short days from now on Sunday, which means we probably won't get as many participants But go to Dvorak.org slash NA and find something there you like.
	I got a note from Mats Burnell in Stockholm.
	He says, I'm starting to put together a meetup in Stockholm, Sweden.
	Before I do, I want to make sure that you haven't heard about anyone else doing the same thing in the near future.
	This town is not big enough for two meetups!
	It's not big enough for one.
	If not, I'll go ahead, make the arrangements, keep you posted on the progress.
	It would also be awesome if you could promote it on the show.
	Of course, of course we'll promote that.
	What if we showed up?
	I love Stockholm.
	I've been once, but only in overnights.
	I don't really remember it.
	Yeah, no, I spent a few days there.
	It's really a dynamite place.
	You get lost easily.
	Did you go to that nightclub that's in an old church?
	No.
	That's the limelight in New York.
	Wow.
	Hey, good one, John.
	Yes, I have been to that as well back in the day.
	Well, thank you all very much.
	And, of course, these executive producer and associate executive producer credits are real credits, which means you can use them wherever credits are recognized and accepted.
	On your LinkedIn, who apparently sell this information to all kinds of companies, they sell your information of your profile.
	That may be why it works for some people.
	You know, when someone's buying information, like, hey, look at this guy.
	He's a producer.
	Maybe we should talk to him.
	And even though it's very similar to Hollywood, where people who support the production financially receive these producer credits, we, unlike those phonies, will actually back it up and we'll vouch for you if necessary.
	For our Sunday show, please remember to help us out.
	And obviously, we always need you to be out there doing what you can to propagate the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Shut up, slave.
	Shut up, slave.
	Hey, citizen.
	Hey, citizen.
	All right.
	Back to my six hours with Uncle Don.
	Okay, here we go.
	Now, what happened when we left off, we were so rudely interrupted.
	Which also, somehow, our IPv4 and 6 routes were deleted from the server, somehow.
	Okay.
	Yeah, these things happen.
	There was a meeting.
	Don was in place at the meeting.
	At the meeting, the North Koreans clearly said, we'll give up all of our nukes, the whole nine yards if, you know, we get to finally do a peace agreement.
	I don't know what the...
	It was the LEAP agreement.
	It was the LEAP agreement.
	The LEAP, okay.
	And they wanted to get this all over with them because they were being vilified and all...
	And then Kerry walks in.
	And messes it up.
	And just not...
	Just by who he is, just by his personality.
	And then the whole thing fell apart where the Koreans launched the satellite that was classified as a ballistic missile launch.
	It was a commemorative satellite.
	You know, like a challenge coin, I guess, in space.
	North Koreans?
	Yeah.
	Challenge coin in the sky.
	Challenge coin in space.
	But the implication is that Carrie just really messed that up.
	Clapper?
	I asked about Clapper.
	Well, let's go back to this.
	We're going to talk a little more about the Kerry thing.
	Because we have to remember our thesis on this show we've deconstructed is that it's not in American interest to have a peace agreement with North Korea.
	We want to keep them as the bad guys so we can sell armaments.
	And I asked that specific question.
	And that's actually the ops.
	Because he corrected me.
	Opcon.
	The United States will no longer be providing opcon for the South Korean defense, which means operational control.
	And the South Koreans don't want us to leave the opcon, according to Don.
	They don't want us to leave.
	No.
	I think that's because of all the money we spend there.
	Possibly.
	And I said, well, it seems to me that what's happening is that we're now selling a billion dollars here, a billion dollars there.
	He says, absolutely, the military-industrial complex!
	This is Don saying this.
	This is Don.
	Absolutely, he said.
	So far, all you've done is confirm everything we've deconstructed from coal cloth and surmised.
	And all we're getting now is one confirmation after another, proving that we're on the right track with our thinking.
	Yeah, and I said, so Clapper gets sent over.
	Clapper.
	Right.
	To me, he seems like a dumbo.
	And Don says, eh, you know, it's hard, you know, this guy's, you know, really it's impossible to do his job.
	But what he's upset about, the whole idea behind Kim Jong-un letting these guys go, which was suggested by Don to the United Nations ambassador to South Korea, who then made this happen, and then called Don back and said, I took your advice, and here's the result.
	So it is indirectly, at least, his responsibility this happened.
	And the whole point was to have the world say, oh, all right, you know, these guys want to change things.
	They want to, you know, look better on the human rights record.
	But the way it was constructed with Clapper in the mix is Clapper brought a letter from President Obama and that's how it all happened.
	They're trying to make Obama the hero, which is exactly the opposite of what the gesture was intended to portray, which is, hey, we really do want to work with you guys.
	And Clapper was just the messenger boy.
	But Clapper is saying the right things, like, yeah, I'd go back.
	And so Don was kind of happy about that.
	Then he went into this, by the way, he says, what hypocrites we are about the gulags and prisons.
	We tortured some folks.
	He hates that.
	He hates that Obama said that.
	We tortured some folks.
	He's so pissed off because the CIA did this, and he's very angry.
	He's a CIA guy.
	I think there's this code, you know.
	You don't do the drugs you're selling.
	You can drink and womanize, but you don't torture people.
	By the way, funniest line of the night.
	You want to hear the funniest line?
	So we took him out to dinner.
	It's a great restaurant.
	This is like Westchester.
	This is where hedge fund guys live.
	Yeah, this is a good restaurant.
	It's a great restaurant.
	The Barn something other.
	You can look it up.
	And Mickey starts telling the story, we're going to go to Panama.
	And this is where it gets funny.
	Now, I just want to make sure you understand that Mickey is not American, so she doesn't know all the backstories of American history and intelligence operations, etc.
	But then she says, oh, you know anybody in Panama?
	And Don just cracks up.
	I said, and I'm like, yeah, he might know us.
	I said, I don't think he's actually been to Panama.
	I said, maybe you could open some doors for us.
	And Don says, yeah, some prison doors.
	Of course, for those who don't know, Panama, Nicaragua, kind of close together.
	There was this little thing that happened called, I don't know, what was it called?
	Iran-Contra.
	Iran-Contra, that would be it, yes.
	So it was so funny how she brought them.
	And Don just cracked up.
	He thought it was the funniest thing.
	She was going, what?
	Well, then I didn't want to get too deep into it.
	But I told her later, oh man.
	It was funny.
	It was funny.
	It was okay.
	Okay.
	Don was also asking me a lot of things, which was very interesting.
	He really wanted my opinion.
	So I said, what do you think of Hegel?
	And I said, well, he's the right guy because he's a real military guy.
	And he was wounded.
	And Don said, yeah, like three times.
	And I said, yeah, but Don, all I hear him talk about is sequestration, the budget.
	And Don's like, yeah, man, that's all these guys think about is how much more money can we get to him.
	And I was kind of laying my smack on him here.
	And then he starts going to...
	I don't...
	I don't...
	Yeah.
	Kind of my...
	You're laying your smack on him?
	Yeah.
	The no agenda smack.
	Okay.
	And so I don't like him.
	And then he says, you know who I don't like?
	I'm like...
	Susan Rice.
	I don't like that woman.
	Nice.
	Yeah.
	He says, well, she's a liar.
	He nods his head.
	Now, throughout the evening, throughout the afternoon and evening, I've been mentioning the Kagans.
	And he's not responding.
	So at this point, I say...
	Don, I've mentioned the name a couple times, but you haven't said anything about the Kegs.
	That's because I don't like them, any of them.
	All of those Kegs, I don't like them.
	And I said, you know Victoria Nuland?
	She's married to Frederick.
	And he says, who was Victoria Nuland again?
	I said, Assistant Secretary of State.
	She was the one handing out cookies in Ukraine.
	He goes, ugh...
	86.
	He can't follow everything.
	No, he can't follow everything.
	It's not his job to.
	So then we slip into...
	I would imagine him just going, oh.
	So then we slip into Putin.
	Putin!
	And Russia.
	Putin!
	Putin!
	And lo and behold, because of the North Korea-Russia-Moscow connection, which really started with Putin canceling the $6 billion worth of debt.
	You may recall this happened maybe a year ago, I think.
	I don't remember it.
	Yeah, he canceled $6 billion worth of debt and is using the remaining $1 billion of debt to build stuff in North Korea.
	Oh, okay.
	And here's the kicker.
	Don has now been asked...
	Well, no, let me rephrase.
	He hasn't necessarily been asked, but it appears that he will be a wheel in the machine of working with Moscow, the United States, and North Korea.
	He may go to Moscow very soon, but he'll let me know.
	And...
	I think what is going to happen, the way I understood it, there's going to be a big powwow in Helsinki.
	And this is because that's kind of the perfect place for North Koreans and the Russians and even the U.S. and the EU to all come together and start to work on stuff.
	And this is where I kind of said, you know, hey man, it's so obvious what's going on here with resources.
	And he's actually at this point, he's looking a little sad.
	Maybe he's sad because I figured it out and I'm able to put it in one paragraph.
	And I said, hey, it's obvious why Syria is being rebelized and all this stuff and back and forth.
	And it's all to push Putin back.
	And he said, well, I will say the expansion of NATO, he says, was reckless.
	And we really were stupid the way we put that together.
	And I said, well, do you really think that Putin is this out-of-control, crazy guy, the revisionist Russia who wants to...
	He says, no, no.
	But there is patriotism in Russia, and they really do want to be a big world power again.
	And they do feel threatened.
	And he says, like he said about North Korea...
	It's like they should!
	Yes!
	NATO's moving in on them, and this is a history of, like, Napoleon going into Russia for some reason, Hitler going into Russia for some reason.
	Yes.
	Anyway, you might know the basics.
	And so it appears to me that PCI, the Pacific Century Institute, is now also going to focus on Russia.
	And there's a new ambassador.
	And Abdan feels pretty positive.
	He says, what I don't want is I do not want another Cold War.
	It was so senseless.
	And he has big respect for the Russians.
	I think he even said that he had written an op-ed or some bits in the book.
	He said, in hindsight, I would have reworded what I said about Putin and about Russia.
	So he's backpedaling a little bit.
	What do you say in the book?
	You read it.
	About pretty much the party line, almost, about Putin encroaching, crossing borders, and what everyone else is saying.
	And he was...
	I think he felt a little sorry about that.
	China's.
	Don's very encouraged by Obama reaching out to Jinping Peng.
	And I said, oh, this climate deal.
	That was all baked and prepped before he even put his foot on Air Force One.
	That was just window dressing.
	The complete bullcrap, means nothing, all agreed to, hey, here's what we're going to announce when we're there, while we talk about whatever we're really talking about.
	I found that interesting.
	Yeah, that makes sense, the whole thing.
	Because it was a scam of an announcement.
	In 2030, we started doing stuff.
	The whole thing was, but it was all, you know, the Bill Maher's of the world, all happy.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And then, you know, we're talking about Syria, the pipelines, and he says, well, what do you think about ISIS? He asked you?
	Yes.
	And I looked at him and I said, you're kidding, right?
	You don't really think that's real, do you?
	And this is where he comes out, you know, I think the president should be using, this is the CIA guy.
	I think we should do targeted, you know, we got the drones, we can take them out.
	I said, Don, hold on a second.
	This is going to sound very strange.
	But these beheadings were fake.
	And he looks at me and says, Don, I know you didn't.
	You didn't look at them.
	I know you did not.
	And of course there are beheadings that go on all the time.
	And there are beheadings in Saudi Arabia, 30, 40 a month.
	And those are all real.
	But these beheadings that were...
	And touted by the President and the State Department and everyone else, we're fake.
	They're video trickery.
	They're just not real.
	And this is one big marketing ploy to do what we always do, rubble eyes.
	And Don actually said, maybe Obama's just let it all go.
	Yes!
	Fine!
	Everyone would go, what?
	We talked about Turkey a little bit and how they were trying to be drawn in, and he agrees that Turkey is all eyes on Turkey.
	And now he's getting a little tired.
	And maybe we'll...
	I mean, I have more notes and stuff.
	I can't think of anything to ask about this.
	Well, here's the big thing.
	I said, I need an intro to Bobby Inman.
	Ah, right.
	I asked for it.
	Just give me an address to send a handwritten note.
	Okay, well I'm sure I can find that.
	What, Inman's address?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, we already Googled around his house in the Google car.
	So Don is happy to send out...
	A lot of black SUVs parked around his house.
	This is how it works.
	When you're being introduced from one...
	Officer to another.
	It's not a phone call.
	It's a handwritten note on his stationery.
	Ah, that makes sense.
	But he topped me.
	He said, I'll tell you what.
	I do speaking engagements around the world.
	All I ask for is travel and lodging.
	I don't take a fee.
	I'm not interested in being paid.
	Get me a speaking engagement in Austin and I will come and I will invite everybody I know In the area to come.
	I'll be down there.
	The hell you will.
	Absolutely.
	So if anyone who's listening...
	You'll finally get me down there.
	Yeah, we need someone from UT. It should be, you know...
	University of Texas would love to hear from this guy.
	Which department should we have?
	Because his main thing is...
	Well, political science would be the easiest.
	Mm-hmm.
	So I'd go with political science.
	Right.
	And they'd be glad to see it.
	I think that's the best department to go for, because that makes nothing but sense.
	The business department, the business school, would probably be interested, too.
	But political science would really draw a big crowd.
	I think he could pack them in.
	If I was a political science student at UT, I would go to this.
	I know that people from all over the world would come to see it.
	And by the way...
	They're very happy with the No Agenda audience.
	It's very hard to sell a book when you're not endorsed by the agency.
	He can't get on.
	He'd love to be on Charlie Rose, and I think Charlie Rose would have him on.
	But everybody else is shunning him because he has the wrong message.
	He does not have the, oh, scary, scary, because they're all going to die.
	He has the wrong message, and he realizes it, and he hates Fareed Sicario now.
	Yeah, that guy's a douche.
	He didn't say that, but that's my translated version.
	So we need to figure out how to get him something here at UT, and he will gladly come.
	And he loves that people come up to him at book signings and readings and say, oh no, I heard about him on the No Agenda show.
	He loves that.
	And I'll put a link in there.
	No, it's true.
	He sees the surge.
	We talk about it.
	But he's not going to get rich off of this.
	It's kind of interesting.
	He says, you know, people say I should get on social media.
	Screw it, Don.
	You're on social media.
	We do that for you.
	You don't need to do that.
	But I also said, Don't feel like you need to judge your success by sales numbers.
	That left in the 90s.
	Judge it on people who say, hey man, you changed my life.
	And he's like, you know, that really makes me happy.
	I don't have to be on social media.
	Don't worry.
	Yeah, don't worry.
	So if you want to email Don something, send it to me.
	I'll forward it to him.
	And I'll put a link in the show notes to his book, Pot Shards.
	You can get it on hardcover, paperback.
	We probably have some people with good connections at UT. Try to do it like a Monday night speech or something.
	I don't know how you...
	I don't know.
	I'm trying to...
	Fit in a trip to Austin, which is an easy trip for me.
	I just go to Santa's, drive to Santa's in Austin.
	Two and a half hours.
	So it's not a big deal, but it's inconvenient.
	But I don't like it to be on a show night.
	No, no.
	Whatever.
	I don't know what your process is.
	Even if it's a show night.
	Anyway, I'm sure there'll be more as we go along that'll pop up.
	Yeah, it'll pop up in your head.
	Okay.
	But that's kind of my report, and I thought it was...
	I really wish we could do something with him.
	Who knows?
	He has my trust now, as in he trusts me, enough to start telling me more.
	And I believe he also has figured out that we have a vehicle that is doing some good.
	Otherwise, you know what I mean?
	Well, let's just see what Bobby thinks.
	Let's stop for a second.
	Bobby Inman, who used to be the head of the agency for the longest period of time and then retired, I don't know how old he is.
	But he also refused the job as Secretary of Defense.
	He turned it down.
	He said, screw you guys.
	He's a very interesting character that nobody talks to.
	How old is he?
	Let's take a look.
	He's got to be in his 80s, too.
	He could be in his 90s.
	He also gave me the impression that Bobby is a tough cookie.
	83.
	83, yeah.
	Yeah, well, he looks like a tough cookie if you look at him.
	He just looks like a guy who'd say, yeah.
	He looks like the guy who'd throw you out.
	I don't like this question.
	Get out.
	Yeah.
	If you say the wrong thing, he'll shoot you.
	One of those guys.
	He just looks like one of those guys.
	I mean, a tough Texan.
	He looks like, you know, one of those guys.
	Yes.
	Then again, nobody's talking to him.
	Now he is, looks like he's at the University of Texas or was.
	Texas Instruments.
	No, he graduated from the University of Texas at Austin.
	I think he's still chairman of Texas Instruments.
	I don't think so.
	He's involved.
	He's involved.
	Whatever the case, it would be great.
	He's got to be the guy who's watching current events and talking to himself.
	Just around the house, just mumbling.
	Don't you think?
	Mumbling.
	Oh my God, I can't believe these guys.
	What are they thinking?
	Oh yeah.
	Also, Don, what is wrong with Netanyahu?
	He said, what did you think of that bomb he held up at the United Nations?
	He rolled his eyes.
	What is wrong with this guy?
	And that was the thing about Kerry.
	He said, Kerry, what a dipshit.
	He thinks he's going to go in there and, whoa, we'll just fix this all up.
	We'll have Palestine and Israel, everybody be happy.
	I'm John F. Kerry, I can do this.
	Emphasis is mine.
	Alright, anyway, we'll work on that.
	Do you think it's a transition thing?
	Yes, please.
	I do have a clip.
	I don't like these clips.
	I don't like clipping them.
	I don't like running into these clips.
	I just hate it.
	But I do have a clip from Scorpion.
	Now this is a clip.
	Explain what Scorpion is.
	Scorpion is this piece of crap show that's on CBS. A runaway hit.
	A runaway hit.
	No, it's not.
	You're full of crap.
	It had 11 million viewers.
	It's a hit.
	They say it is.
	It's not.
	If you look at the numbers, it sucks.
	It's barely pulling its weight.
	It did 11 million.
	What did it hit?
	10.5 million viewers.
	That was the first day.
	Now it's just dropping every show.
	It's a piece of crap.
	Highest rated drama.
	That's what CBS is trying to talk people into watching with that bull crap.
	I'm looking at the numbers.
	Well, we'll talk about that later.
	Let's just play this clip.
	You don't like that.
	Now, this show is about these techie nerds who have their consulting group.
	With McPhee.
	What?
	McPhee is in it.
	Yeah, McPhee's in it.
	The hottest.
	And they keep dropping this technical stuff that's supposed to impress the audience with some of the dumbest bull crap imaginable.
	They took over a car and started driving it, you know, from like a mile away because they accessed the Wi-Fi network in the car.
	They hacked the car.
	Got it.
	They hacked the car for long distance and then stopped the car.
	Good work.
	And then they have, now there's this little tidbit in here.
	Mm-hmm.
	Play?
	Yes.
	PAC contributions.
	This morning, I came across a wire transfer made two weeks ago labeled CA-78SE. Okay.
	I had no clue what that meant, so I opened the file.
	There were a number of contributions, but no names, which is a huge red flag.
	So I copied the file onto a flash drive to run it by our co-counsel.
	But when I went to print it, the file was gone.
	Money and laundry.
	That's my guess.
	Ha!
	I guarantee Barnwright monitors their whole system.
	As soon as you open the file, they knew you were looking at it.
	They had an override word macro triggered to delete it.
	They certainly knew something.
	An override word macro?
	An override word macro trigger to delete it.
	Yeah, I got one of those.
	I think they just make this stuff.
	Let's string these words together, and I'll bet you this will sound great.
	It was worth it.
	My goodness.
	Good one.
	McPhee.
	Back to the pipeline thing.
	I do have a couple of things.
	I thought the senator from South Dakota, a woman who's a Democrat.
	Oh, this is the Key XL pipeline.
	Key XL. I want to get these clips out of the way.
	Having had Nancy come up with her poster.
	Barbara.
	Barbara.
	A classic.
	This is the clip.
	Senator, just a pipeline.
	Yeah.
	I think we need to be honest about what we're talking about here.
	And I frequently say that the pipeline has taken a role in American politics that is way disproportional to what it is.
	It is a pipeline.
	There is over 2 million miles of pipelines in America today.
	This is going to be just another one of those, and it's going to be state-of-the-art.
	There's actually between two, I don't know if it's 2.6 or 2.9 million miles of pipeline.
	This pipeline was a couple thousand miles.
	Millions of miles of pipeline.
	And so what's the fuss around this one?
	And again, it's because it's symbolic and it has to do with global warming.
	Yeah.
	Well, it probably has to do with contracts or something.
	I think in the background, that's why I want to go to Washington and look through the files and find out what this guy Whitehouse, I have Whitehouse here, that douchebag from Rhode Island.
	Ah, yes.
	Who is the most...
	That guy?
	Yeah, that's Black Pete.
	So here's White House on the pipeline.
	Well, actually, White House on global warming first.
	You will see our capital city flooded to the top of the buses.
	Write it down in the Red Book, John.
	Our capital city flooded to the top of the red buses.
	You will see houses smashed to flinders.
	Flinders, flinders!
	Flinders!
	What is a flinder?
	Stop.
	I'm sorry.
	I have to stop this.
	Flinder?
	I think he meant tinder.
	I think tinder or something.
	He said flinder.
	I don't think flinder is the right word in this usage.
	Flinder.
	Flinders.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	Small pieces, splinters, splinters are fragments.
	Wow, Flinders.
	Flinders, good word.
	Why didn't anyone use that word?
	Good word.
	Hey, I give White House a ding for a good word.
	Flinders.
	And he goes on.
	Let's just skip the rest of that.
	I know why!
	It's only 20 seconds.
	It might be funny.
	No, it's nothing.
	Come on!
	I'm fast.
	I've just thrown up front of the line.
	All right, back to the pipeline.
	Play his little complaint here, and then you see that this guy, something is wrong with this guy.
	And I'd like to find out what.
	Okay.
	Well, she's studying the dictionary.
	She is passionate about getting this done, and it's because of her efforts that we are here.
	And I have to say that I am just as passionate as she in opposition to this bill.
	Many of us come from coal states or oil states or natural gas states.
	Rhode Island doesn't have coal.
	At least it hasn't in generations.
	We used to mine coal in Portsmouth and Cumberland, but it's been a long time.
	We don't have natural gas sources.
	We don't pump oil.
	What we do have is a coastline.
	And at that coastline, what coal and oil and natural gas are doing to all of us through the operation of natural laws, through the operation of laws of science, stuff we can't get around, this is an opinion, is really harmful to Rhode Island.
	Naval Station Newport has a tide gauge.
	My friend Senator Manchin was kind enough to come and visit from West Virginia and we started out bright and early in the morning and our first stop was with the Navy folks down at the tide gauge.
	And at the tide gauge, what they show is that since the 1930s, the water levels are up 10 inches.
	We had something very big happen in Rhode Island in the 1930s.
	We had the hurricane of 1938.
	If anybody wants to take two minutes and Google hurricane of 1938 and hit images, you will see terrific destruction.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Global warming, obviously.
	No, he went on and on about this.
	Global warming.
	And that's when he gave the description of all this other crap.
	Right.
	But, you know, this guy...
	He's the worst.
	He's the guy who's the head of one of the subcommittees that they bring all these experts on who say this is bullshit and they talk about the 30,000 scientists that have signed the document saying this is bull crap and they bring experts on and say we get more wildfires as it's cooling not when it's warming and all the rest of it and he just ignores everybody and goes on and on.
	He is invested in something.
	I am absolutely sure of it.
	It's funny because I got a list who sent this to me?
	It was a list of Senators and congressmen who are invested in Apple.
	Someone has a list.
	Their list is starting to crop up.
	48 members of Congress are Apple investors.
	But big money.
	Yeah, no, these guys are all big.
	These aren't slouch investors.
	No.
	Another one in that same campus is Marky, the guy from Massachusetts.
	Marky Malarkey.
	And Marky Malarkey, here he is going on and on.
	He takes a different approach and decides to be just a drama queen with his presentation.
	Gentlemen, we still import approximately the same amount of oil in 2014 as we imported in 1975 when we put the ban on exportation of oil.
	On the books.
	We're still exporting young men and women overseas into the Middle East to protect tankers coming into our country.
	Oh, wow.
	There you go.
	And we're going to build a pipeline for the Canadians down to the Gulf of Mexico so they can use us as a straw to send it down and then export it out of our country?
	Straw.
	Where's the American angle on this?
	Oh, okay.
	I keep hearing it's about American security, about American energy security.
	Do you want to know what this is about?
	I'll tell you what it is all about.
	Whoa!
	The Canadian company...
	Companies want to make more money.
	They want to take the oil from Canada, bring it down to the United States, bring it to the Gulf of Mexico, and then send it to Europe and Latin America and China.
	Why?
	Because they will pay more.
	For this oil, then the United States will pay for this oil.
	Well, there you go.
	These tar sands are owned by Chinese, are they not?
	No, I think they are.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
	I doubt it.
	Okay, tar sands, Chiners.
	Yes, we've talked about this.
	I'm sure they're investors.
	I mean, that wouldn't surprise me.
	We have plenty of American investors, too, but I don't think so.
	Tar sands, by the way, could get wiped out.
	The price of oil dropping like a rock, I think it's down to $74.
	I think at some point, I don't remember, I've talked about this on the show before.
	China invests billions in Canada oil.
	The Chinese are heavily invested in it.
	Okay, well good for them.
	They're going to get screwed because once the price of oil drops below $50, which it can happen, then the tar sands are worthless because it costs too much.
	It costs too much to extract it and to move it.
	Now, about it being about the Canadians only.
	And by the way, this pipeline is still being built.
	It's just not going to cross the Canadian border.
	I got a kick at another Democrat that was on board.
	It was the senator from Montana.
	And I will just play this little short clip.
	This is the pipeline benefits.
	Pipeline benefits.
	So it's not just a pipeline.
	I've got a pipeline with benefits.
	Mr.
	President, Senator from Montana.
	Mr.
	President, I rise today in support of the Keystone XL pipeline, a critical infrastructure project that has been delayed by political games for far too long.
	And just recently, Mr.
	President, the American people have said they are tired of political games.
	They want action in Washington, D.C. The Keystone pipeline will provide good-paying construction jobs to Americans, including hard-working Montanans, and at no cost to the American taxpayer.
	And as the Bakken region continues to boom, this pipeline will provide an important on-ramp for Montana oil, which will boost local economies.
	That's interesting.
	An on-ramp.
	Yeah, but apparently they've already done it.
	Out of Montana, there's already been one billion barrels of oil pumped.
	Hmm.
	And they pump it, put it right in the pipeline.
	These pipelines, you can put in, you know, you have one source and then they...
	I'm going to have to talk to a pipeline operator to get this to how it works specifically, even though I've worked at these refineries.
	I believe what they do is they ship as much oil as they can and then they put a pig in the pipeline.
	It's like a big plug.
	It's a plug, and then it goes and it pushes, it continues going, and you can have either more oil from some different vendor after the pig arrives, and then you, I don't know, you have some bookkeeper there, here comes the oil from so-and-so.
	And I think in a James Bond movie, they had...
	Yeah, he gets in a pig, and somebody goes in a pipeline, yeah.
	It goes flying around.
	I don't see, the problem with getting in a pig is I don't see how it could...
	Not kind of rotate, maybe be upside down.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	John, here's the clue.
	It's a movie.
	Oh.
	Speaking of movies, we have a movie on the way about the Boston Marathon bombing.
	Since we don't actually have the video footage of the Tsarnaev brothers planting the explosive pressure cookers in the backpacks in the trash can, as everyone says they did, as every documentary 60 Minutes has shown in dramatized as every documentary 60 Minutes has shown in dramatized footage, as the governor of the great state of Massachusetts says he knows it's there but hasn't seen it himself, but now they're going to put it in a movie, it will be real.
	Yeah.
	That's how you do it.
	And the movie will be called...
	Boston Strong.
	That's a terrible title, if that's true.
	Did you get the note from one of our producers who told us that when we're doing the story on selfies, that the network ABC that was running this thing has a show coming up called Selfies?
	It's already been cancelled.
	Oh, good.
	The show was called Selfie, and it's been cancelled.
	Well, on the topic of the Boston Bombers and these other incidents...
	Oh, before you do that, I have one clip from the Senate...
	Oh, okay.
	The Keystone Pipeline.
	Well, if you're going to play that, then I get to play the Nancy Pelosi follow-up.
	Well, this is not a pipeline.
	It's just about stupid people.
	I said Nancy Pelosi again.
	I know.
	So I'm not going to play that.
	If you can show me a Nancy Pelosi clip, I'll play that.
	I don't have a Nancy Pelosi.
	Well, then we can't play any.
	You do have one.
	And her head is gone.
	Oh, that's Feinstein.
	Okay, listen.
	Listen.
	There was a round discussion, a congressional hearing, about the Secret Service and how they're functioning.
	And they had the new guy on, or the deputy director of Secret Service, who was now standing in for the previous director.
	She got fired.
	Did she resign?
	I think she resigned.
	She resigned.
	So then we have Steve Cohen, who is from Tennessee.
	Is this a senator or congressman?
	It must be Congress.
	I don't know.
	I have to look him up.
	Let me look him up.
	Steve Cohen.
	Democrat from Tennessee.
	And is asking, in all sincerity, what we can do about the protection, about protecting the White House.
	He's a House member.
	Okay, it's a House.
	And, you know, this guy is answering, and, you know, we had a fence, and we built another fence.
	And what do you think this congressman from Tennessee came up with?
	Yeah, I know the answer to this, so you have to play the clip without me ruining the joke.
	What a moat?
	Water.
	Moat.
	Six feet.
	A moat.
	Six feet.
	Around.
	Be kind of attractive and effective.
	Sir, it may be one of the things we've found.
	It may be, sir.
	Disneyland.
	It may be.
	A moat.
	I think we should do it with a drawbridge.
	The moat with a drawbridge would be ideal, and it would stop these maniacs from running up to the door.
	Yeah.
	I think it'd be just a mosquito layer.
	Just a place to be a mess.
	It'd have to really make that water toxic.
	I think we should do it.
	Moat.
	What an idiot.
	So then when it freezes in D.C., it freezes quite severely in the winter, then people can skate across it.
	Yeah, they skate around and around, around the White House.
	They could have an event every year.
	For that to be a serious question?
	Moat.
	That's not a bad idea, Senator, Congressman.
	We could do that.
	Really quite ridiculous.
	Yes, I would say.
	What I'd like to do...
	I'm sorry, you wanted to say something?
	Uh, no.
	I am going to relent.
	Go on.
	Hit it.
	Oh yeah, I do have one thing, since we talked about the Boston Brothers.
	The Boston Brothers, yes.
	I thought, when I heard this clip, this was on one of the, I think this, I don't know, this may have been on Al Jazeera.
	I'm not sure where I got it, but when I listened to it, I said, oh, there's the irony of Sandy Hook.
	Because when we deconstructed Sandy Hook, it was part of a process that was going on in a six-week cycle, which seems to have vanished.
	That was trying to get people, it was the Democrats' attempt to get people to get women to quit the Republican Party because it was filled with guns.
	Guns, guns, guns.
	So I ran into this story.
	This is the Sandy Hook irony clip.
	Seattle last month left five students dead.
	Sorry?
	Gwen.
	Again, you have your obsession with this woman.
	No, you're the one that brought her up before.
	You're the one that has all the clips.
	I just, I was...
	Obsession.
	Obsession.
	Seattle last month left five students dead, reviving questions of safety and violence for students and teachers.
	Another school district in Washington State is answering that question in an unconventional manner, arming school administrators.
	Yeah.
	Producer Terry Murphy from KCTS in Seattle has the story.
	The incident that happened at Sandy Hook, for me, for our community, was a tipping point because it really opened everybody's eyes.
	How can we keep our children and our staff safe?
	In the Toppenish School District, the answer to that question is to let school officials carry guns.
	We've taken the stance where we're arming our administrators.
	Funny you have that clip because Mickey and I had, we'd just gotten home, we're tired, and Wednesday night, it was last night this, I think, right?
	Wednesday nights, typically we'll order two gluten-free pizzas from Domino's and make a good one.
	And we'll just watch 30 minutes.
	Because I prep.
	I start prepping in the afternoon.
	I prep up until midnight, sometimes 1 or 1.30 in the morning.
	And we'll watch some stupid TV. But there was no...
	It was only Real Housewives of Atlanta.
	And I don't like that.
	I like the Real Housewives of New Jersey or of New York.
	But I can't watch the Atlanta.
	And so that was a...
	And you give me crap for watching O'Reilly.
	I'm just telling you.
	Okay, go on.
	I'm not going to interrupt you.
	And then we said, well, let's take a look at E. And they had this new thing, E Live, which is unwatchable crap.
	And then, oh, let's take a look at PBS NewsHour.
	And just the portrayal of, you know, they have the guns loading at the range.
	I just got so disgusted by the coverage.
	Because, of course, it's a solution, but they really portray it with all the scary guns and everything.
	It was annoying.
	I had to turn it off.
	Really?
	I just want some stupid TV, not this.
	It was a very dramatic problem.
	You want stupid TV, not this, which is stupid TV. It was really, really stupid TV. It was too stupid even for me.
	Okay.
	I had one more thing I wanted to do before we go into break.
	No, maybe not.
	No.
	I got the clip.
	Transition.
	Follow the clip right away with the break music.
	Okay.
	I don't know why, but I think it will work.
	Okay.
	This is the latest pot report on CNBC. Governor Jerry Brown expresses the same concerns Larry has, that when you go to Denver and you see a lot of people smoking a lot of pot, Do you want that in your town?
	Well, as it becomes more widespread, is that different?
	But to Kevin's point, if you're investing in a barcode system that can track from seed to bank, which can be used in other industries, or if you're investing in a child-proof package that allows you to carry your medications with you, you are far removed from the marijuana.
	That may be a legitimate business outside of pot.
	Kate, you know, I just want to say, I think Larry made a really important point, and I don't have a lot of patience for all these podcast stories.
	I feel like people find it titillating and it's fun to talk about, but the reality is it is a gateway drug.
	I think it's way too narrow for a show, and I'm going to leave it at that.
	Okay.
	I'm going to show myself old by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
	That's right.
	Pot is a gateway drug.
	I smoked it for 10 years, and I became a podcaster.
	There you go.
	There you go.
	It can kill you.
	Gateway to podcasting.
	Pot is a gateway to podcasting.
	It can happen.
	You have to be careful.
	Warn your children.
	We do have a bunch of people to thank for show 671, including Christoph Schottledreier.
	I believe, Schutteldreier.
	Schutteldreier?
	I think that means screwdriver.
	I don't think so.
	Yes.
	You think so?
	Yes.
	Schutteldreier.
	Anyway, he's in Bad Follingsbostel, which is, I guess, one of those little resort places.
	Schutteldreier, maybe plate spinner.
	In Deutschland.
	And he says that once he brings some karma to his dad who had a stroke and some to his wife who has me, I commute 700 kilometers per week.
	You save my sanity.
	May I ask for a stammering Obama whoop him and it was worth it.
	Karma for the old man.
	We'll do all this at the end of our segment here.
	Make a note.
	Chad Inman in Los Angeles, California.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	Aiki Kitagawa in San Jose, California.
	He did send a note in.
	He came in with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	And, you know, it's getting dark.
	You know, this damn rain's coming in here.
	Yeah, he sent a handwritten note, which is completely unreadable.
	But I do want to read a piece of it.
	I'm donating this to the Sunday show, which is next coming up, but this Thursday.
	I'll look at it and maybe read it later on Sunday, on Sunday's show.
	It came in today.
	Craig Covell in Chicago, Illinois, 12333, and...
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
	Hold on a second.
	Yeah, I didn't see it there.
	And in the red corner, wearing the black clunched gold trim, he has a record of 33 wins, zero losses, and one draw.
	He is the grand use of Belgium and France, Sir Steven von Helzmacher!
	Woo!
	He says he's making it rain in preparation.
	If so, I don't know if he missed that one.
	He's falling behind.
	He says he doesn't want to miss too much.
	But, you know, a lot of people know.
	Charbacks in southern Switzerland, $111.11.
	This actually was in the form of an iPhone 6.
	Oh?
	Clone from China.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, I went yesterday to a trade show down in the Santa Clara Convention Center, which had all this astonishing show.
	Wait, so he gave you a 111.11 value as a...
	No, I understand.
	It's a fake.
	It's an iPhone 6 clone which runs Android.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, cool.
	And it looks like an iPhone, and I've got a lot of stories.
	I'm going to write it up in the PC Magazine article about this fake phone.
	And you will, of course, say this was a donation to the No Agenda show.
	I don't know.
	I'll take it out.
	Self-plugs.
	The point is that, according to him, and this is a videographer guy, and he says he's going to...
	This is an interesting character.
	Apparently you've corresponded with him and told him to get stuffed.
	Is this the guy who's, oh, you global warming?
	Yes.
	I don't know.
	It's open comments on the episode.
	I just comment and said, you know, he's like, whoa, man, Soda is real.
	Soda is real.
	He is like, he's a very interesting guy.
	He makes his money taking videos of trade shows, and he is a big No Agenda fan.
	Yeah.
	I know, it's obvious.
	But he also claims to be a douchebag boner, and that's why it's a phony.
	He says he will do a couple $200 donations to get his operation mentioned.
	And he loves the show, but is all in on all the stuff that we bitch about.
	I know.
	Yeah, that's fine.
	It's like me watching Real Housewives of New Jersey.
	Yeah.
	It's painful.
	Very peculiar.
	It's painful.
	You know, it's painful.
	I don't know what it is.
	Okay.
	It's like picking a scab.
	You know, you can't help it.
	Anyway, so these phones, he claims, and he goes to China a lot, so I told him I'd give him money if he can get more of these phones over, because I know everyone's going to want one.
	I saw him from plugging this on Twitter.
	Yeah, that's him.
	Yeah.
	And so, but I'm thinking this phone is not, I start playing with it.
	It's not really a quality product.
	Gee, I'm surprised.
	5% of the Chinese are buying this phone instead of the iPhone, because it's $100 American.
	John, what the fuck are you doing?
	Don't talk about phones.
	I'm stopping this good point.
	I'm stopping this David Shamus in Sands Point, New York, $108.

	I have a note from her.
	Oh, yeah.
	No?
	Yeah, it's just a note saying you guys are doing great.
	Awesome.
	Small note, but nice paper.
	Heather Fucinari.
	What do you think?
	Fucinari?
	Fucinari.

	Hey, Dave.
	That's my buddy Dave.

	Ball Brigham.
	Ball Brigham.
	I'm from Ball Brigham, eh?
	It's kind of funny when you get a guy like Dave who's donating.
	I think he's kind of saying, uh, hello?
	Are you still, are we still friends?
	You want to go out?
	Oh, you haven't been out with him?
	Go find my beer.
	Well, he, he, he's all, he's always flying all over the world.
	Oh, what does he do?
	Um, he's in high tech.
	High tech?
	High tech.
	Angela Castaneda in Henderson, Nevada.
	Dame, Dame, Dame Angela.
	Dame Angela.
	Oh, sorry.
	Rosalind Furness in Turnbridge Wells, Kent.
	David Schneider in Boca Grande.
	So you've got to have Boca Raton, so you have to have Boca Grande.
	We're bigger than Raton.
	Yeah, and yeah, the Grande.
	And Sir Mark Tanner in Whittier, California.
	Nice.
	And we do have a bunch of different kinds of requests for sound effects.
	I got them.
	I think I got them all.
	He's got them all.
	We're going to do them all at the end.
	We're at the end.
	I'm going to end it up with this and do one more.
	I'm just going to do the whole thing as much as I can do.
	Here we go.
	That's how we roll.
	And that's the story.
	Get out there!
	Whooping, whooping, whooping!
	Whooping, whooping, whooping!
	Whooping what the Constitution!
	It was worth it.
	It was worth it.
	And her head was gone.
	You've got karma.
	There we go.
	We got just about everything in there.
	And thank you, of course, to everyone who's donated under $50, our monthlies.
	It is highly appreciated.
	Thank you for listening to what I said the other day on the show.
	People stepped up.
	You know, it's just the model, the value for value model works.
	People just need to be reminded that it works that way.
	I love it when people say, you're too popular, that's why!
	Oh, your attitude has changed, that's why!
	You suck!
	Well, maybe that's true.
	You know, it's just strange sometimes.
	I think all we need to do is remind people.
	We don't mention anybody under $50 because it's considered anonymous.
	I can read a note.
	This guy says he donated $50 and now he's $33.33, I guess, for a podcast license for my unsuspecting wife, Casey.
	Uh-huh.
	November 30th is our anniversary.
	Her favorite segment and mine.
	This is a segment that we don't have, actually.
	Okay.
	But okay.
	Is the yeah guy.
	Can we hear a phone call on the show with the yeah guy before our anniversary, which is on the 30th.
	So we have a number of a couple weeks to go.
	Okay, so it's Casey and who?
	Casey and Lonnie.
	So it's Lonnie is the guy and Casey is his fiance?
	Yeah, I guess.
	Do you want to do it?
	I know what to do here.
	You have to have a question for the guy.
	Yeah, I got it.
	Hello?
	Yeah.
	Hey, you know Lonnie and Casey?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So they're getting married, huh?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Is she hot?
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	All right, thanks.
	Later.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. We congratulate Sir Philip DeSilva, who turns 25 today.
	Robert Huxley says happy birthday to Lata, turning 55 today as well.
	Sherry Laurie will be celebrating on November 25th.
	And Thomas Butterick, soon to be a knight, says happy birthday to his brother Samuel and his college buddy Andrew Smallman, as do we, all your friends here at the vast staff and management of the No Agenda.
	So, say happy birthday to you all.
	It's your birthday!
	And we congratulate Sir Mike Nikolaitchuk, who becomes a baronet today, which means he's well on his way to a protectorate, as his next step will be a baron.
	And then we have two knightings, which is very posh.
	We'll grab the long blades for today's ceremony, and I would like to request Kristen Smith and Thomas Butter to step up on stage.
	Both of you have supported the best podcast in your divorce in the amount of $1,000 or more, and thereby you're joining the very elite group of knights and dames, and I hereby pronounce the KV, Sir Quistan of Lincolnshire, and Sir Ladyfingers of the Displaced Texans.
	For you, my friends, we've got hookers and blow or hookers and molly, red boys and chardonnay, poppies and port, porn stars and pot, cunnilinga yoga and jambo, cannabis and cabernet, long haired, heavy metal guys and scotch.
	And of course, there's always the mutton and mead, which is not as tasty as some of the other things on the menu, but always a guaranteed winner.
	And filling.
	And filling.
	Please go to noagendanation.com slash rings and get your information in there so Eric the Shill can send that off to you.
	Now, I have a little deconstruction work I've been working on.
	I've been saving most of the show.
	It would have kind of fit in a little early when we were talking about Don.
	But this is...
	The president came out and called the Peter Kasig murder, the beheading of which there is no actual visual evidence of the beheading.
	Pure evil.
	Evil, evil, evil, evil.
	And, you know, I decided to look into this guy.
	Oh, great.
	Boy, oh boy.
	I mean, why bother, you might think.
	I think this is, I already know this is going to be a winner.
	And let me just see what the president said.
	He said, oh, by the way, the guy's name is not, is no longer Peter Kasig.
	It is Abdul Rahman Kasig.
	You see, he converted to Islam before he was killed.
	Oh, and there's a controversy over this, of course.
	Controversy.
	Well, the president says, Abdul Rahman was taken from us in an act of pure evil by a terrorist group that the world rightly associates with inhumanity.
	Do you think that's a little bit of prose and drama in that statement?
	Do you think he's trying to...
	Hyperbole.
	Hyperbole.
	Thank you.
	That is the...
	Like Jim Foley and Stephen Salt Love before him, his life and deeds stand in stark contrast to everything that ISIL represents.
	And he gives a little history while ISIL exploits the tragedy in Syria to advance their own selfish aims.
	Abdul Rahman was so moved by the anguish and suffering of Syrian civilians that he traveled to Lebanon to work in a hospital treating refugees.
	Later, he established an aid group, Sera, to provide assistance to Syrian refugees and displaced persons in Lebanon and Syria.
	These were the selfless acts of an individual who cared deeply about the plight of the Syrian people.
	So I figured, well, you know what?
	I got some time anyway.
	Why don't I go check out this Sarah that he started?
	Sarah International.
	SarahMedic.org.
	And if you look at their homepage, SarahMedic.org, due to the present security situation in Syria, Sarah has temporarily ceased its operations.
	So I started looking a little bit, bopping around to see where this comes from and how this was funded.
	And they talk here about the founder of 2012, Peter Kasich, former U.S. Army Ranger who served in the Iraq War.
	The same picture everybody else is using of this guy.
	And so, effectively, they've shut down their business.
	So I start searching around a little bit more.
	And it's interesting to see that even though they...
	They were founded in 2012.
	This website was registered much later than the start of...
	Let me just grab it here for you.
	I can't find this site.
	S-E-R... Oh, S-E-R. S-E-R-A? Medic.
	Medic.org.
	So I did a little who-is of the Sarah Medic, and even though they were set up in 2012, the website was not actually registered until August 1st of 2013.
	And I can't find out who...
	It's reasonable.
	Registered.
	Recent.
	Yeah, but...
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Yeah, it was suspicious, yeah.
	Just a little urxib, and they have a private registration service in Burlington, Massachusetts.
	So they used an anonymizer?
	Yes.
	Why?
	Well, I'm going to get back to this in a moment.
	So I started reading, because I want to find out more about this organization.
	And they say on their website, if you go to our story...
	Right, I'm looking at it now.
	Actually, I think it was our work.
	Maybe there was a different one.
	I think it might have been on the Wayback Machine.
	They say, you know, we are a 5013C corporation, a non-profit.
	Not findable in the database.
	That could be because maybe they didn't file, maybe because they closed, but there's no evidence of them actually being that.
	It's okay.
	SARA stands for Special Emergency Response and Assistance.
	Then I come across an article.
	This is an article about Elliott Stempf.
	And I come up with the Elliott Stempf because if you go to the...
	The Wayback Machine, you look around at the Sarah International, you see the name Elliot Stempf pop up, which is no longer on the website, as it is today, the way they've closed it down, but Elliot Stempf, he's the contact for this Sarah outfit.
	How do you spell that?
	Stempf?
	Oh, never mind.
	It shows up on the suggested links.
	There you go.
	It's got a lot of stuff up here.
	Okay.
	And this is an article from 2013, around the time they started.
	This is from September 23rd, so right after the website was up.
	Training first responders amid serious rubble.
	And then this is in Syria.
	Elliot Stempf, somewhere in southern Turkey.
	He's talking about Sarah founded by Peter Kasig.
	So that's all in there.
	And...
	They talk about, you know, they sleep on the floor in some small apartment together.
	And then this line caught my eye.
	Last week, Atlanta-based Conscious International gave Sarah its biggest contribution yet.
	$30,000 worth of medical supplies.
	Mostly antibiotics and pharmaceuticals to be distributed over the coming weeks.
	So I figure, what the hey?
	Let's go look at this Conscious International.
	Well, this is an interesting outfit.
	Conscienceinternational.org.
	It's kind of a tough one, but you need to go to that site.
	About us, who are we?
	Humanitarian Relief and Development Organization that implements life-saving medical interventions.
	They've got a vision statement, what they do.
	And then as I'm looking about who the people are in our leadership, we have the...
	Founder and Chairman, President, I'm sorry, James E. Jennings, Ph.D. And he is Founder and President of Conscious International and Executive Director of U.S. Academics for Peace, a unit of Conscious International.
	Now, if you look at U.S. Academics for Peace...
	This is all over the place, and they're in...
	It's kind of funny.
	They have rapid response to the following places.
	Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, Haiti, Indonesia.
	These guys are everywhere.
	And they are primarily funded, this outfit, by...
	Come on, John.
	Give it a try.
	The State Department.
	Yes.
	USAID. Absolutely.
	Okay.
	And then I did a...
	Just for yucks, I did a Whois lookup.
	On their website...
	Hold on, I don't want to misquote, so I'm going to open this up.
	I saved this.
	And here we go.
	I'm going to open it in a different window.
	I'm going to have them next to each other.
	Oh, lo and behold, registered and protected by the exact same registration privacy group in Massachusetts as the SarahMedic.org.
	Yeah, they're both trying to cover up who they really are.
	And if you look at the websites, they are built exactly the same.
	It's almost the same template.
	I'm going to use it.
	It also has a great mobile template, which automatically shows up.
	I was looking at it on my Nexus 7.
	My last newsletter had a nice mobile template.
	So these are created by the same people.
	So now I have a connection between yet another one of these so-called beheaded people to the State Department through the people financing them.
	This is becoming annoying to me.
	Yes.
	It's annoying to anyone listening to the show because it's annoying that our own government is trying to bullshit us to such an extreme.
	Then...
	I mean, this is again part of the...
	What was the name of that act that has been repealed so you can propagandize the...
	The Smith-Munt Act.
	You can now propagandize the American public legally.
	You could never do that in the past.
	And particularly online.
	So...
	What happens...
	By the tech experts.
	Yes.
	Brian the Gay Crusader shows up.
	And Brian is, you know, I don't know.
	When he's not flying around protecting LGBT QQIAP citizens of society with his cape, he's doing research for this show.
	And he sees the Army Ranger reference.
	And this is all in the show notes.
	He had a beautiful rundown.
	I'm giving him credit because he did a great job here.
	KASIC became an Army Ranger with an Army Special Operations Unit, 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment.
	Now, that is part of JSOC. The Joint Special Operations Command, also commands and controls the special mission units.
	Now, is this the guy that was supposedly beheaded?
	Yes.
	And he's a JSOC? Yeah, listen to the story.
	The Army's 1st Special Forces, Operation Detachment...
	Here it is.
	Operation Detachment Delta, the Navy's Naval Special Warfare Development Group, DEVGRU, SEAMTO6, SEAL Team 6, and the Air Force's 24th Special Tactics Squadron, units from the Army's 75th Ranger Regiment...
	Hold on.
	Ding.
	Ding.
	Are all controlled by JSOC. So this guy was not just a U.S. Army Ranger.
	He was part of Joint Special Operations Command.
	Now this is according to the sources we have.
	What are the activities of the 1st Battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment?
	Well, I'm glad you asked.
	Primary tasks include direct action, national and international emergency crisis response, airfield seizure, airborne and air assault operations, special reconnaissance, intelligence, counterintelligence, combat research and rescue, personnel recovery and hostage rescue, joint special operations and counterterrorism.
	Notable members of the 75th Regiment, General Stanley A. McChrystal, 10th Colonel of the Regiment, Who was the commander of JSOC during CASIC's time in the 1st Battalion?
	That was, of course, McChrystal.
	Going back to the article that Michael Hastings mysteriously killed in a strange accident in his car.
	This is from his famous Rolling Stone article on McChrystal.
	And McChrystal's time...
	At JSOC, which included this guy, who was the so-called beheaded guy who we saw photoshopped head on the ground, quote, JSOC was a killing machine, says Major General Mayville, his chief of operations.
	McChrystal was also open to new ways of killing.
	He systematically mapped out terrorist networks, targeted specific insurgents, hunting them down, often with the help of cyber freaks traditionally shunned by the military.
	The boss would find the 24-year-old kid with a nose ring with some fucking brilliant degree from MIT sitting in the corner with 16 computer monitors humming to the Special Forces Commando who worked with McChrystal in Iraq and now serves on his staff in Kabul.
	He'd say, hey, you fucking muscleheads couldn't find lunch without help.
	You gotta work together with these guys.
	And finally...
	This is according to Alternate.
	McChrystal's troops in Iraq, quote, do not distinguish between civilian and military oppositions, between activists and their sympathizers and the armed resistance.
	So, I am going to assert...
	A killing machine, indeed.
	Yeah.
	I am going to assert this is bogus.
	Now, this guy may be dead.
	I mean, who knows?
	But he was not just hanging out with this serious...
	No, there was money flowing from the State Department into this U.S. Academics for Peace...
	Into this ConsciousInternational.org for an outfit that only, according to GuideStar in 2013, only really did about $600,000.
	There's a pretty big list of people on the board and involved in this operation.
	I don't know if you had a chance to look at all the people involved.
	Unconscious International?
	Yeah, Conscious International, yeah.
	Wade Beavers, Richard Swindle.
	Look at who they are.
	Beavers is a lawyer, a big-shot lawyer in Atlanta with one of the big firms.
	John Mark Carpenter served on the Board of Conscious International.
	He was born in Georgia.
	He's from Georgia.
	West Africa, Liberia, Monrovia.
	Come on, man.
	No, if you look at these guys collectively, they are not the typical do-gooder.
	And they build stuff.
	They build houses, projects.
	There's something up with these guys.
	So the same website, same registration, they gave money, or so-called money, I guess it was pharmaceuticals, to these two guys, and this guy just happens to be a killing machine.
	And then all of a sudden he's, oh, we captured him!
	Okay.
	And he also converted to Islam, which seems to be kind of on par for this.
	Well, that way you can...
	The converting to Islam allows you to change his name and creates a smokescreen for doing any research like you did.
	Yes, and it also allows people to say that ISIS, ISIL don't care.
	No, they don't care if it's a Muslim or not.
	That meme is actually in play with the right-wing radio guys and right-wing TV guys.
	That meme is major.
	Right.
	And what's funny, because I heard one of these discussions, and there's like a point-counterpoint.
	Listen to these shows, it's like, wow, these guys are just blah, blah, blah.
	Listen to the discussion, it just proves that the ISIL people don't even care, or they have a grudge of the other kind of Muslims.
	You have to be a certain kind of Muslim.
	That's why they didn't care to kill them, because it's just ridiculous.
	No depth, no research, nothing.
	One of our producers sent me a clip.
	Now, we have a go-to clip of Wesley Clark.
	We call it the Wes Clark 7.
	And I think I should just play that little, little bitty piece here.
	Wes Clark 7, where he talks about...
	Well, it's easy.
	Here we go.
	So I came back to see him a few weeks later, and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan.
	I said, are we still going to war with Iraq?
	And he said, oh, it's worse than that.
	He said, he reached over on his desk, he picked up a piece of paper, and he said, I just got this down from upstairs, meeting the Secretary of Defense Office today, and he said, this is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran.
	Now, this was about...
	The key here is seven countries in five years.
	Our producer found this clip of Wesley Clark, which is a little...
	It's the same message, but there's a reason why it's...
	And remember, this is 2003, I believe, when this...
	Was this 2003 or was this right after 9-11?
	It was during his...
	What, the Clark?
	Yeah, the Clark clip.
	I have to look back on it, but I thought it was when he was running for president.
	Here is the same information expanded and pay attention to the reason for five years.
	It came back to me.
	A 1991 meeting I had with Paul Wolfowitz.
	You know, in 2001 he was Deputy Secretary of Defense, but in 1991 he was the Under-Secretary of Defense for Policy.
	It's the number three position of the Pentagon.
	And I had gone to see him when I was a one-star general.
	I was commanding the National Training Center.
	I said to Paul, and this is 1991, I said, Mr.
	Secretary, you must be pretty happy with the performance of the troops in Desert Storm.
	And he said...
	Well, yeah, he said, but not really, he said, because the truth is we should have gotten rid of Saddam Hussein, and we didn't.
	And this was just after the Shia uprising in March of 91, which we had provoked, and then we kept our troops on the sidelines and didn't intervene.
	And he said, but one thing we did learn, he said, we learned that we can use our military in the region, in the Middle East, and the Soviets won't stop us.
	He said, and we've got about five or ten years...
	To clean up those old Soviet client regimes, Syria, Iran, Iraq, before the next great superpower comes on to challenge us.
	This country was taken over by a group of people with a policy coup.
	Wolfowitz and Cheney and Rumsfeld and You could name a half dozen other collaborators from the Project for a New American Century.
	They wanted us to destabilize the Middle East, turn it upside down, make it under our control.
	It went back to those comments in 1991.
	And that's why we're failing in Iraq.
	Because Iran and Syria know about the plan.
	All you have to do is read the Weekly Standard and listen to Bill Kristol and he blabbermouths it all over the world.
	Richard Perl the same way.
	They could hardly wait to finish Iraq so they could move into Syria.
	There you go.
	To do it all before Russia was big again and powerful.
	Or the Chiners.
	Or the Chiners, yes.
	And now if you look at the news, Iran...
	That's a good one.
	Whoever sent that in should be given some special kudos.
	That's a great clip.
	Well, hold on.
	Let me find out who that was because that is important to credit that producer.
	Here we go.
	This is from...
	Let me just make sure it's okay to talk about him.
	Yeah.
	Jim Bentley.
	Okay, Bentley.
	Let me see where he found his...
	He doesn't even say where he found it.
	Well...
	But it is...
	He said the clip was in 2007, and Wesley Clark makes it clear the plan is still on to invade Syria.
	The very next year, 2008, five years after the invasion of Iraq, was when U.S.-Russia relations started to deteriorate.
	I think Russia started to react between 2007 and the Georgia incident in 2008.
	That would be why the U.S. switched to portraying Russia as a dangerous aggressor.
	Yes, I agree.
	And if you look at the news right now, this is very interesting.
	Iran, we're trying to make, we're cozying up to Iran now.
	We're making good with Iran.
	They will start selling natural gas to the EU in 2015 via Azerbaijan.
	Azerbaijan will be the gas mediator.
	Well, we own Azerbaijan.
	Baku, this is where we've got Conchita Wurst running Baku with the Eurovision Song Festival, Song Contest.
	Right.
	An odd connection.
	Well, we own Azerbaijan.
	We're there.
	Hillary Clinton, everyone hanging out there.
	And of course that will then run through I presume the Georgian route or one of these other pipelines.
	So it seems like Some things, some parts of the plan are working.
	The Syrian, you know, taking over Syria.
	This actually explains why the Syrian incident, the attempt to bomb, remember when they were going to bomb them, and then I guess Dempsey kind of pushed that back.
	That's why they're trying to get rid of Dempsey, because he's like a fly in the ointment of the scheme.
	Hey man, what are you talking about?
	And they wanted to send Syria a message by sending some missiles in there because of the gassing, which we now know, although it's still presented as though the Syrians gassing their own people, we now know that the rebels are the ones who produce the poison gas and send it over there.
	But that's okay.
	It's not important.
	Well, who cares about the facts?
	Yeah, this is fun.
	Isn't it, though?
	It starts to come together.
	I would say look out to Brazil.
	Did you talk to Don about Kagan?
	Oh, you did, right?
	Yes, I did.
	I did.
	What's missing from some of these analysis here is Kagan's not being left into the...
	Even Wesley Clark never mentions him that I can see.
	Well, the fact that Wesley Clark is outing Crystal and the Project for a New American Century, at the time he said this, I think he's your fair-weather friend.
	I'm not sure that you can really count on him.
	There was some other news, just to show you that there are moves in the industry.
	Halliburton has announced they will buy Baker Hughes, which is a tool maker.
	I guess they facilitate a drill and do stuff like that.
	$34.6 billion deal.
	That's pretty sizable.
	Yeah, that makes them the second biggest company of this sort.
	And I'm thinking that this is really what it comes down to.
	I like the Syrian angle on this.
	Do it before Russia or China, but I think it's clearly meant to Russia.
	The whole Syrian thing has got to have these guys that they're with, because that never happened.
	And now it looks less and less likely.
	And the Russians, you know, so we're making the Russians' life miserable by creating that episode in Ukraine, which is, we're behind, it's so obvious.
	And now the Russians are struggling.
	I had something else I wanted to have on Ukraine.
	Oh!
	I don't know if it's true or not, but there was an article in, this came through Zero Hedge, which I think is a little, they're kind of knee-jerk.
	I don't trust their information or intelligence gathering.
	Yeah, I'm not too big on either, but I went back to the source on Ukrainian TV. The Ukrainian Central Bank admitted, quote, the vaults of the bank have no gold left.
	And the conclusion on Zero Hedge is that the United States stole the gold.
	If there was a rumor that the gold was loaded onto a plane and flown back to the U.S., it wouldn't surprise me by that.
	None of this would surprise me if true, but I had no evidence of this.
	Yeah, I'm not...
	But, you know, just because you brought up Ukraine, I'm just going to put it out there.
	The Russians could have taken it, too, for all you know.
	Oh, yeah.
	The Russians are buying gold like crazy right now.
	Yes, they are.
	And I'm not going to say that we're not pro-Russia, per se.
	No, no.
	Per se.
	But I do think their patriotism is much stronger than ours in the United States.
	Yeah, it's a possibility.
	The Russians, when they...
	I just got this one clip that kind of relates to this.
	This is a clip about the Polish apple industry.
	The Russians have cut off the trade with Europe because they had these sanctions.
	And so they created a situation.
	If you listen to just the numbers, it's exacerbating a situation in Europe, which really is unnecessary.
	Of course, I think it may be that we're liking it as Americans because if the European economy collapses, we benefit.
	Exactly how?
	I'm not sure.
	But I know one thing is the euro is finally down to a buck and a quarter, and it should be down to a buck before we're done with this.
	But just listen to the numbers involved here with the Polish apples story.
	During a meeting today, Putin repeatedly urged Russian companies to refocus their sales toward Russia's domestic market and away from trade with the West.
	Indeed, Russia's interference in Ukraine has set off a new Cold War, and the weapons in this war aren't warplanes or rocket launchers, although we've seen plenty of that on display in eastern Ukraine.
	The weapons are the stuff that people depend on to live.
	Everything from oil to apples.
	These Polish apple farmers are on the front lines of an economic war raging between Russia and the West, sparked by the real war in Ukraine.
	Polish apples became a casualty after Moscow slammed the door on most agricultural imports from the European Union.
	A tit-for-tat response to Western sanctions slapped on Russia.
	Russia is inflicting major pain in this farming community, an hour's drive south of Warsaw.
	Orchards, for as far as the eye can see, grow this.
	The famous Polish Gruetz apple.
	It is delicious.
	Poles love these, but so do other people.
	In fact, in 2013, Poland exported 677,000 tons of apples to Russia.
	That's 56% of all its apple exports.
	But that all ended on August 1st.
	There's nobody to buy those apples now, and that's going to cost Polish apple growers $659 million this year.
	Another Don anecdote?
	Yes.
	We were talking about Department of Homeland Security, and I brought up the fact that our NATO friend Poland is not in the visa waiver program, that it's very difficult for Polish citizens to obtain a visa, and that they're very angry about it.
	And he, I think, you know, you have to say, do you remember there was some taping of some, you know, the prime minister or president was saying, screw these guys, the Americans, you know, they're not really our friends, because this is a big deal.
	We played that on the show.
	Yeah, and then Don said, oh man, you know.
	There was actually a Polish couple who they had hoped would be living in with them, but kind of taking care of them, you know, in their older...
	In their older days here.
	And they had overstayed their visa.
	Very similar to Miss Mickey.
	And they left.
	They were deported.
	Can't come in for another 10 years.
	And Don can't do anything for them.
	Just like he couldn't do anything for Mickey.
	But he made a brilliant conclusion.
	He said, you know, ever since 9-11, all this stuff happened.
	Really?
	Yeah, don't say.
	Yeah, and my one comment on whatever the President of America does about immigration, whatever he's going to do, it is impossible, almost, to become legal in this country because of the Department of Homeland Security,
	who are ripping people off, who are militaristic, Hitler-esque assholes about them allowing you to come in because you may be a terrorist.
	Of course that doesn't go for all 300,000 of them, but the whole culture is bankrupt.
	So whatever the president does, that's what needs to be fixed.
	Well, whatever the case is, the Polish one industry of apples, which is, you know, cost the Polish economy over $600 million for one year's crop.
	This has got to be multiplied by God knows what if you look at the entire production of all agricultural products that used to go to Russia.
	Yeah.
	This can't be a positive thing.
	We've gone over this.
	For those countries, but for us, it might not be bad.
	But the crazy thing, yes, it's bankrupting the EU. We had the tomato story, and we know that...
	And of course, sure, the apples can't, but it's bullcrap because they just ship them to Turkey, put a different label on them, like the tomatoes, and they sell them anyway, but all these agricultural outfits all get subsidy from the EU because of...
	These sanctions, which we're driving.
	And people are so stupid in the EU. I'll just say it again.
	You're so stupid.
	You're allowing Brussels to screw you over under this guise of, oh, scary Russia.
	It's an attack on Europe, if anything, really.
	So it's a whopper.
	And we don't even get to see that much of the news coming out of there, but there's riots everywhere.
	Yeah.
	There are just lots of riots going on.
	Get any of that presented to us because somebody might get the idea of rioting or Ferguson everywhere kind of thing.
	I got some background on Ferguson.
	A couple of our producers are in the media and they were sent home and they have been told to come back.
	Sunday is the day.
	Sunday is the day the riots break out.
	They're all going to be there on Sunday.
	Will that be in time for deadlines?
	Well, I think the idea is the president does his thing today.
	We'll bitch and moan about it.
	Then Friday we'll switch over.
	They'll ask for another 48 hours.
	And then Sunday all hell breaks loose.
	Okay.
	That's the idea.
	I think it's the idea.
	That's the schedule the media has?
	This is the schedule our producers have presented to me.
	Okay.
	Have presented to me.
	Sounds right.
	My phone, schmy phone!
	Yeah, it's a little bit of tech news.
	I thought we did the tech news when I talked about the fake.
	No, I cut you off.
	Oh, you did.
	That's right.
	I think you have one piece of tech news.
	You have a clip.
	Do I? Yeah.
	What clip would that be?
	Uber.
	Oh, the Uber story.
	Yeah.
	Why have some background on the story?
	You know, there's Uber.
	Which I think is a hit job.
	I'm thinking that too, because there's just too much stuff all of a sudden coming out.
	And it's a known fact that Uber and Lyft have had a blood feud.
	And Uber's pulled dirty tricks on Lyft.
	But apparently a lot of it was triggered by Lyft pulling dirty tricks on Uber, like false bookings.
	And if it's a hit job, well done.
	I agree.
	I think the best thing they did is to mobilize women.
	Whoever did this, and I just saw it immediately.
	First you get Sarah, what's her name?
	Lacey.
	Lacey.
	And the idea was someone said, oh, we'll dig up dirt on her.
	Who cares?
	You know, oh, someone says we're going to dig up dirt on a journalist.
	Everyone loses their shit.
	The American public is being spied on and blackmailed by their own government.
	Like, oh, whatever.
	Oh, that's funny.
	They got planes flying around with it.
	Oh, boy.
	But talk about Uber, everyone loses their crap over it.
	And all the women...
	I'm deleting Uber!
	This is the big thing.
	Hashtag delete Uber.
	So it's clearly a hitch.
	So we don't have to play the clip, actually.
	I think we've kind of done it.
	No.
	There was something that I picked up which is very, very...
	What is the word?
	Precocious.
	I don't think that's the right word.
	Scary.
	And this is...
	Being worked on as we speak, and I have not heard anybody talk about this as a piece of tech news.
	ATIS Open Web Alliance.
	Have you heard about the Open Web Alliance and SPDY? SPDY? Mm-hmm.
	SPDY, if I type it in, something's going to happen?
	I don't know.
	SPDY. Speedy, the open networking protocol developed primarily at Google.
	Yes, sir.
	Which is sketchy for transporting web content.
	SPDY manipulates HTTP traffic.
	An experimental protocol for faster web.
	SPDY includes mandatory encryption for all HTTP traffic.
	This is a...
	Yes, it's Google, but if you look at the whole alliance...
	I think I have a PDF, which I'm going to make...
	Boom!
	I may not be able to make this one available.
	Why?
	Because the person who sent it to me is in it.
	I don't know if this is open or not.
	This is driven by Google and Facebook and more.
	And the idea is primarily...
	Here it is.
	To have all your web traffic flow through a massive Google proxy server.
	And that will, in this protocol, Google protocol to replace HTTPS that formed the foundation.
	Boy, these guys have got their nerve.
	Oh, yeah.
	This is a good one.
	Oh, yeah.
	Good catch.
	But check it out.
	They're going to build it into Android, Chrome, and Firefox is also on board.
	Oh, of course.
	They're failing.
	And, let's see, Tumblr, WordPress, Twitter.
	That's our only hope.
	I'm sorry?
	Microsoft, you're our only hope.
	No, I think, let me see, IE is also on board.
	Not in Safari, by the way.
	Not in Safari.
	But this is, and they can do this really almost without you even knowing it.
	Because all they have to do is just, it may already be baked in.
	Bake it into Android and Chrome and And they've got this...
	Oh, the Amazon Silk browser, I think, is also...
	Amazon may have a competing service, but that's a dead in the water.
	And you've had this little diagram, the little Android browser with a Chrome logo.
	There's all this traffic going to the SPDY Google proxy, which now is drawn as the cloud.
	So you're secure between you and Google, and then Google is going to proxy all of your requests out to the web.
	We must fight this.
	Yeah, you're not going to be able to fight anything.
	Well, this must be stopped.
	And I think part of this Let's Encrypt initiative, which is Mozilla, Akamai, Cisco, EFF, where they want to deliver a free certificate authority service, may be part of this somehow.
	I don't know.
	But I'm None of this bodes well.
	And be very, very, very careful of this open web alliance with the speedy protocol.
	And be very, very wary of that.
	I'm reading about it on the wiki.
	Yeah, and no one is writing about this stuff.
	Nobody.
	No one's talking about it.
	Well, it's a little complicated to write about.
	And the people that write today are not technical enough to write about it.
	But it's about phones!
	Not enough about phones.
	It's not enough about phones.
	Where in this wiki page does it talk about the resolution of the screen?
	Headline, headline.
	Where does it talk about the retina display?
	You're missing the point.
	Headline.
	Now your phone will be even faster on the web.
	That's it.
	Yeah, well, it's fast enough.
	That's it.
	I always want to make sure that we do at least one piece of technology news you just won't get anywhere else.
	Well, we could do that until hell freezes over.
	There's plenty of those.
	And then I have a clip.
	I'm very proud of...
	I was called out by Padre SJ. Why were you called out?
	As being mean.
	Who's Padre SJ? He's the priest on the Twit Network.
	Oh, that guy.
	Yeah.
	You want to hear this?
	I've worked with him before.
	Yeah, I have not.
	No, I have.
	He's a very friendly, jolly fellow.
	He's a jolly fellow.
	Now, as is our want, we're going to start off with a little bit of freaking science.
	No!
	Freaking science!
	I'm in the freaking science segment, John.
	Freaking science?
	Freaking science.
	This is Padre's Corner.
	Freaking science?
	Freaking science.
	That's crazy.
	No, it's freaking.
	Freaking science.
	Freaking science.
	Okay.
	Let's...
	All right, keep going.
	Now, stop me if you've heard this, but on the interwebs, if you spent any amount of time, the way to get popular, the way to have your tweet retweeted, the way to get your Facebook posts liked the most...
	It's to be mean.
	Well, it's not just a theory.
	It's not just something that we say in bars.
	It's something that a study, a piece of research that actually has evidence to back it.
	Specifically coming from some researchers over at Harvard.
	What they found was that negative statements are inherently more intelligent, or at least seemed to be intelligent, taken to be more intelligent than the positive ones.
	For some reason, there's something in the human psyche that says someone who can say something disparaging, something cynical, something negative about a thing knows more about that thing than someone who can say something positive.
	We want people to actually remember the information that we're telling people rather than just take it and pass it through.
	It always helps to be derisive.
	If you can say it in a way that puts someone down, puts something down, insults an event, an action, a person, that people are far more likely to remember that bit of information.
	That explains a lot of things.
	That explains Howard Stern.
	That explains Sarah Palin.
	That explains Jon Stewart.
	That explains Bill O'Reilly.
	That explains Stephen Colbert.
	That explains Adam Curry and pretty much all of the internet.
	The things that are popular are the mean.
	Bill O'Reilly!
	What a great list!
	You're on the list of the hot shots.
	With Sarah Palin and Jon Stewart.
	Yeah, and Bill O'Reilly.
	This bullcrap.
	Blackpink!
	Of course it's bullcrap.
	It's a stunt for Padre SJ just wants to get mentioned.
	That was a very negative thing he did right there.
	Thank you.
	That was not a positive report.
	It was a negative report.
	Putting himself in the same, hoping to be mentioned in the same, which you did.
	Yes.
	Mentioned in the same breath as these other guys.
	It's very meta.
	Very meta what he did there.
	It's very meta, and I hope that he realizes what he did.
	I don't think so.
	It was not very Padre-like.
	As Padre stuff goes, you would expect more from your Padre.
	Yeah.
	All right, Johnny Boy, I think we should wrap this up.
	You know, I got editing to do to put all these pieces together.
	Yeah, that's right.
	We had a fail in the middle.
	Interrupted by whoever interrupts.
	Yeah, somebody thinking it's funny.
	Yeah.
	I'm guessing, because otherwise it would have cut us off.
	Yeah, I don't have anything else.
	Euroland.
	Let's see.
	Oh!
	Yeah, just one thing in Euroland, I guess.
	Ireland is...
	I guess they didn't have to pay for their water.
	Water was free in Ireland.
	It rains a lot.
	And now the government has announced water charges.
	Huh.
	And people are freaking out.
	Good.
	They should take down the government and put new people in.
	I looked at my bill here in Austin.
	It's half of what it used to be in California.
	But I actually...
	Which is funny, because the state of Texas is much drier than California.
	So they say.
	In every way.
	And, yeah.
	Could be taxes or something.
	No, it can't.
	Well, I don't know.
	But I now pay about...
	I think it was $58...
	No.
	$47 for water.
	I think this is monthly.
	And $58 for sewage.
	Somehow I am pushing more fluids down the drain than I'm taking out.
	Because you presume I'm consuming some of the water that comes out.
	Yeah, and then you pee it out, and you also drink wine and beer.
	I just don't, it just seems odd that I have to...
	You crap, you crap, it goes into the sewer.
	It seems odd that I have to pay so much, more than for the water I'm using.
	I don't know.
	Yeah, I know what you're saying.
	If it was the same company, the same public utility charging, they would have to probably rationalize this, but these guys say, that's too bad, you're getting to deal with your water, so shut up.
	It doesn't feel good, you know, it just doesn't feel good.
	Yeah, that's the way it is.
	Absolutely.
	All right.
	You got anything else?
	You got anything to wrap up?
	I do have the...
	If you want to hear Box are going off on...
	I'll play this because I can set it up so you can get a kick out of it.
	She's a character.
	Yes.
	So she...
	In the middle of the Keystone Pipeline thing, she says, I like a point of order.
	I'd like to not take away from my time, but I want to...
	We want to do a quick...
	I want to just say that we want to do a meeting...
	To pick the NRC, the head of the NRC, and we want to do it off the record in the back room with nobody around.
	NRC being the national, the nuclear regulatory?
	The nuclear regulatory.
	New guys, new guys.
	Nuclear regulatory something.
	Anyway, so the Republican says, no, this is not the way it's done.
	It's always been done in the full, everyone listening in.
	I mean, what's the point?
	And she goes off on him, and it's hilarious.
	Mr.
	President, reserving the right to object, there are major concerns, particularly about the NRC nominee.
	He has no technical or scientific background.
	He visited his first nuclear plant this summer.
	Given that, and given that, there is no precedent anywhere that I can find for a four-year nomination to the NRC not to have a nomination hearing before the committee.
	That's all we're asking for, a normal, routine nomination hearing, given all of that object.
	The action is heard.
	Continuing the agreement that this not count on Keystone Time, I need to make the point that Mr.
	Barron, who is the subject of Senator Vitter's complaint, already has been confirmed.
	What we're doing is putting him in a different seat on the same commission that has a different expiration date.
	And he had a hearing, and Senator Vitter himself asked...
	Fifty-six questions.
	So I just think it's sad.
	Republicans won the election.
	Yes, they did.
	Oh, we're going to get busy.
	We're going to get busy and we're going to work.
	So all I want to do is have a meeting to do our work out there off the floor.
	On people that have had extensive hearings, oh no, we couldn't possibly do that.
	And then to talk about the lack of experience when in fact he already was confirmed and Republican Commissioner Spineke was nominated, she had never even visited a power plane.
	No one ever said anything about that and we all let it go.
	So I just think sadness is in my heart.
	This is our work.
	We're here to work.
	I thought that's what the Republicans said they wanted to do.
	They wanted to work.
	Oh no.
	They come here and they object to a meeting off the floor of the Senate so that we can move forward.
	I want to make a point.
	The TVA, the Tennessee Valley Authority, that's a very important authority.
	Ah yes, of course.
	Well, I would encourage...
	She is insane, this woman.
	Oh yeah.
	Oh yeah.
	Well, we know.
	I mean, you know her from back when she was Barbara from the Block.
	Right back to that.
	Barbara from the Block, everybody.
	I like that story.
	I encourage all of our listeners and producers to go to AtomicInsights.com.
	This is Hot Rod Atomic Adams.
	Hot Rod Atomic Adams.
	One of our producers.
	Night.
	Sir Rod.
	Sir Rod.
	And he runs AtomicInsights.com.
	I got a podcast and he has a bunch of people around him who are actual experts on atomic and nuclear energy, radiation, Here is pro-nuclear advocate with small nuclear plant operating and design experience.
	Former submarine engineer officer.
	Founder at Adams Atomic Engines, Inc.
	I don't think he ever built them.
	Because, you know, very hard to get that financed.
	But this is the guy you want.
	And there's a couple other.
	The Fukushima Diaries, I think it is.
	It's all linked from atomic...
	Wait for the debris to be washing up on shore any minute.
	We're dying.
	I'm still dying from it, I tell you.
	Alright.
	We've got a little bit of post-production to do on today's show.
	Not quite sure what happened, but we, as always, thank Void Zero for keeping it together with Bailing Wire and...
	That was quite a network thing that happened there.
	Yeah, it was very interesting.
	During the NSA-CIA-North Korea discussion.
	Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
	We will be back on Sunday.
	I will be coming to you from Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
	On Sunday?
	On Sunday, as I fly tomorrow.
	You get a good connection there, so that's not going to be a problem.
	It's the same place I stayed the last time, my buddy's house, so it should be okay.
	There's a little bug flying around here.
	Okay.
	Enjoying the warmer weather here in FEMA Region 6 in the capital of the drone star state.
	Thank you very much for listening.
	I am Adam Curry in the morning, everybody.
	And from northern Silicon Valley.
	Ooh, this is good talking into this giant bucket.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back on Sunday.
	Please remember us at dvorak.org slash n-a.
	See you on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
	This, I think, could be one of the most important things that we don't know that we don't know.
	Oh.
	Right?
	There's the stuff that you know you don't know, and there's the stuff that you know that you know, and there's the stuff that you don't know that you know.
	But the most destructive can be, to paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, the most destructive can be the stuff that you don't know that you don't know.
	ISIS. We will follow them to the gates of hell.
	ISIS. I feel good!
	It is scary and wretched and miserable.
	It is gross.
	There's a need for a rescue mission.
	when the world is threatened, the world needs help, it calls on America.
	And that's the story.
	Adios, mofo.
	Blackpink!
	The best podcast in the universe!
