	Hey, how you doing?
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, May 17th, 2015, and time once again for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 722.
	This is no agenda.
	Fighting the unglamorous war against the New World Order and broadcasting live from the Crackpot Condo 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 I'm back on the Peanut Express, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crack, Bob, and Buzzkill in the morning.
	Hey, Bubba.
	That refers to the Southwest flight.
	Oh, the Peanut Express.
	Oh, of course.
	You came back from up north.
	The up north.
	The Terror of Tower.
	No, you're back.
	The Hill of Terror.
	You're back in the...
	I've got a couple more complaints.
	I've been wanting to mention this for some time.
	Okay.
	You know, they give peanuts out at some of these flights, which is probably endangering someone.
	I've had many flights where they say, sorry, no peanuts on this flight because we have someone with severe allergies and you don't get peanuts.
	Well, that's good.
	Do you ever sit there with this habit some people have, which is incredibly annoying?
	It's the peanut eaters that take and they...
	Wait a minute.
	Is this about peanut eating etiquette now?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	All right.
	I'm good.
	All right.
	I have to roll it on.
	You're going to agree with this.
	You'll see.
	You'll have seen this.
	I'm worried.
	I'm worried that I might be one of those people.
	I really hope not.
	So they take, they got, you know, you got a bag, a little bitty dinky bag of penis.
	It's not enough penis to anything.
	There's about 17 peanuts in it.
	Dump the penis in your mouth.
	You're good to go.
	No, no, that's not the way it works with some of these guys.
	They have to dump the peanuts in their right hand.
	They dump like a palm full of peanuts, a whole bag, or at least half the bag goes in their hands.
	Then they make a fist.
	Then they shake.
	You are describing my old man, by the way, to a T. He's a dirty peanut eater.
	They create a small opening at the thumb end of the fist and try to shoot a couple of peanuts into their mouths.
	This, of course, is completely the wrong way to eat peanuts.
	Well, for one thing, it gets peanut grease all over your hand, which is, you know, not necessarily good.
	And salt.
	But they're shake, shake, shake.
	And so they're chewing and shaking, chewing and shaking, chewing and shaking.
	And then they throw a couple more peanuts in their mouths and chew some more while shaking and shaking.
	It just is annoying.
	It's the most annoying thing I've ever seen.
	Amen.
	And then when they're done, they got down to the peanuts.
	Then they start...
	Doing the thing with their hands to get all the salt and grease off their hands.
	They're slapping themselves.
	Okay.
	John, this is exactly how I've seen my father eat peanuts.
	This is very unusual.
	No, I don't think it's that unusual.
	What is the correct way to eat peanuts in a plane?
	There's a lot of ways.
	You can take the peanut bag and just, if you like tossing the peanuts back, toss from the bag.
	Okay.
	I always ask the flight attendant to feed me.
	Yeah, well, they rarely do that.
	I gave up on that idea.
	Okay.
	Meanwhile, of course, on the flight, I should mention this, a number of probably a dozen idiots We're coming down the aisle with this huge backpack.
	Ah, your favorite, yes.
	The huge backpack phenomenon.
	They're popping left and right.
	That and the guy who's got the too wide of a roller bag.
	And he has to, instead of picking it up like a normal person, he has to roll it.
	So he's dragging the roller bag, banging into things.
	He can't get it, and he's backing up and going forward because the bag is always hitting one of the seats.
	Ugh.
	And this was an old 737.
	And did someone swing around and hit you in the face with their bag, as usual?
	No, but almost.
	Well, we might as well go into our first news story, then, with all this.
	All aboard, trains good, planes bad.
	Woo-hoo!
	Yeah, this is about the security specialist.
	He was apprehended, I guess a couple of weeks ago, for tampering with the in-flight entertainment system and tweeting about it.
	And the FBI released a warrant, which was published, which is a search warrant to search his stuff.
	That they confiscated.
	And they confiscated drives and USB sticks and his laptop and his iPad and all this stuff.
	And in this warrant, the FBI special agent...
	What's the name of this guy?
	This guy's name is Chris Roberts, I think.
	This has been really overhyped by Wired and a number of these all-in military industrial complex blogs.
	The FBI agent says that this guy, Chris Roberts, got into the, or was able to issue a CLM or CLB, a climb command to the thrust management system, which made one engine climb, and a climb command to the thrust management system, which made one engine climb, and the How does one engine climb?
	You mean the engine went...
	Well, thank you.
	Just stop right there.
	Yes, thank you.
	Any blog you see writing this verbatim, and it is word for word from the warrant, saying that he increased thrust on one engine and therefore the aircraft, by issuing a climb command...
	Climb command?
	Yeah.
	Now...
	Last time I heard a climb command was at that rock climbing center.
	This is bullshit of the highest order.
	The highest order.
	First of all, if he was indeed able to get into the thrust management system, that would have been the thrust management system of the engine itself.
	It could only have been a Pratt& Whitney, not a Rolls-Royce engine.
	They function differently.
	The climb command, if the engine is issued a climb command, that means it's going to 90% thrust for a climb out from the aerodrome up to 10,000 feet.
	So I don't know where he did this.
	If he did this, you know, 10,000 or 30,000 feet, this would have been a very noticeable thing to the flight crew.
	And climbing is not just about power.
	It's about power and attitude of the aircraft and trim.
	So if you have your trim set in a certain attitude, you could actually start to accelerate very quickly to the ground.
	You do not issue a climb command to an engine.
	But I'm going to call...
	I just want to say complete utter bullshit!
	You said that a minute ago.
	You can stop me.
	I don't think you need to shout it.
	Well, it's because you were stopping me.
	I'm trying to get some facts here.
	Was this in some sort of a...
	Who said this?
	This is according to the FBI warrant.
	So this was in the warrant itself?
	In the warrant itself, yes.
	Now, you have read the warrant.
	I've read the warrant and have a copy of it in the...
	And it says that?
	I shall read from you.
	After removing the cover to the SEB, this is the cover that is...
	And he was in first class, which makes him even a bigger douchebag.
	That was installed under the passenger front of his seat.
	He would use a Cat6 Ethernet cable with a modified connector to connect his laptop to the in-flight entertainment system while in flight.
	This is from the warrant.
	I'm just reading it verbatim.
	He then connected to other systems on the airplane network after he exploited slash gained access to or, quote, hacked the IFE system.
	That's the in-flight entertainment system.
	Woo!
	Free movies.
	He stated then that he overwrote code on the airplane's thrust management computer...
	And there is no thrust management computer.
	There is a FADEC, a fully authorized digital engine control, but okay, we'll call it thrust management computer, while aboard a flight.
	He stated that he successfully commanded the system he had access to issue the CLB, or climb command.
	He stated that he thereby caused one of the airplane engines to climb, wow, an engine climb by itself, resulting in a lateral or sideways movement of the plane during one of these flights.
	He also stated he used Vortex software for compromising slash exploiting or hacking the airplane network.
	He stated.
	He stated.
	They used that word twice.
	Yes.
	What if the guy's just full of crap?
	He is full of crap.
	And the FBI's just dumb.
	Correct.
	On both counts, Mr.
	Dvorak.
	Very good.
	And if this actually, if he really did this, this guy should be in jail.
	In jail.
	This isn't, this is...
	I do not believe it's possible.
	I don't think that this could happen.
	But for this to be written up this way...
	Well, I would have to assume, and this is where I have to take you on on this, that you're completely wrong.
	The FBI is completely right.
	Because obviously, the FBI would have gone immediately to the Boeing engineers...
	Yes, and said, change this.
	...call them up.
	Or gone there to wherever they are.
	I did look for FAA airworthiness directives.
	I made sure there was nothing there.
	I would have done that.
	I would have done all my due diligence before issuing a warrant, unless this is a bogus warrant that you've been suckered by a hoax.
	No, this is a real warrant.
	This is a real warrant, John.
	Now, something else could be going on here.
	And regardless, for this guy to be sitting in first class, tweeting out, hey, shall I issue a command to drop passenger oxygen masks?
	Which I also don't think he can do.
	He had access to the air crew and cabin messaging system, which only sends messages to the cockpit and to the flight management in the cockpit.
	So he could have maybe issued a command that would have made it look like something had deployed.
	But I think maybe something else is going on here, and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, even though if you're an information security guy, lying is not okay, and doing this kind of stuff with a hundred other passengers is also not okay.
	So either way, the guy's a dick.
	But it's possible that the FBI misunderstood what he was saying, that he was able to replicate this in a simulator, and that he made the simulator fly sideways.
	Because there is talk throughout the warrant that he did simulations.
	But that's not the way the warrant is written.
	And I can tell you right now, I do not believe this is possible.
	And if it is, ground every single aircraft that has this type of system.
	It's just not how aircraft systems are built.
	Or if it didn't happen at all, it's just completely bogus.
	I don't even know who this guy is.
	Chris Roberts.
	I'm glad you got all worked up about it.
	A little bit worked up.
	I think that, again, is the FBI... Either should have talked to Boeing about, is this even possible?
	I think, I guess it was a Boeing jet.
	I'm not sure.
	Did you say?
	I don't remember.
	A 737, I believe.
	Okay, a little 737.
	There is no first class generally on those things, but...
	Sure there is.
	Well, let me see.
	A couple of seats.
	And it cramped.
	He was in 2A. Yeah, it'd be first class if there was a first class.
	When I think 737, I think only people who fly them are Southwest.
	That's the people's airline.
	There's no first class.
	Peanuts, anybody?
	Or would you rather have pretzels?
	I tell them I like to have...
	Now shut up about your peanuts.
	I'm talking about...
	They come around, I say, like two nuts.
	Stop.
	Just stop.
	I do.
	Just stop.
	Anyway, I want everyone to know, who is a no agenda producer, that this, and it's Ars Technica, everybody's all over this.
	And then repeating the line, he issued a climb command and the aircraft started to fly sideways.
	You know, when you're at cruising altitude, you could be at...
	55% power, depending on if you have a tailwind or a headwind.
	If all of a sudden, if you really can make an engine go to 90%, if the engine will even respond, which I also highly doubt, I really doubt that if he was in some kind of subsystem, that the FADEC would not allow that to happen.
	That's why it's fully authorized.
	Then this could be very disastrous for one engine to go to 90%.
	A flat spin.
	Yeah.
	No.
	How do you get out of a spin, John?
	Steer into it opposite rudder.
	Always remember that.
	Steer into it opposite rudder.
	Exactly.
	Well, there was another thing.
	You're doing planes good, planes bad, trains bad or whatever.
	The derailment story is getting kind of fishy.
	It is.
	This clip from you?
	Yeah, the derailment story.
	Railroad authorities today ordered Amtrak to immediately improve safety on the Northeast Corridor.
	Experts say a better signal system might have prevented this week's crash that killed eight and injured more than 200.
	Brian Yenis has the latest now on the investigation, including evidence that rocks or other objects hit that train before the crash.
	The FBI is now analyzing the lower left side of Amtrak 188.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	Why is it the FBI and not NTSB? This is an NTSB jurisdiction.
	They should at least be working in tandem.
	But they think there's some criminality involved.
	That's what's happening.
	Because somebody took a shot at the thing.
	Or threw a rock at a boulder.
	And listen to the rest of the clip for you.
	Destroyed front windshield.
	It's there that investigators have found a circular break in the window that could be the result of a flying object thrown or shot at the train moments before it crashed on Tuesday night at about 9.21 p.m.
	NTSB investigators say an assistant conductor on board the train recalls hearing a radio conversation moments before the crash between the engineer and a nearby engineer of a local SEPTA train acknowledging they were both hit by an object.
	She said she heard the engineer talking to a SEPTA engineer.
	She recalled that the SEPTA engineer had reported to the train dispatcher that he had either been hit by a rock If true, it would mean three trains were hit by an object in the area of the crash within a 20-minute span.
	The front windshield of that SEPTA 729 local train was hit around 910, forcing the train into an emergency stop.
	Just minutes after that, passenger Madison Calver witnessed a projectile hit his passenger window on a southbound Amtrak Acela 2173.
	I was working on my laptop.
	I was just following up with The new revelation expands this investigation.
	Could an object have somehow affected the engineer Brandon Bostin moments before the crash?
	The NTSB says Bostin was extremely cooperative in his interview Friday, but he suffered a concussion and could not recall anything that happened During the derailment.
	So we're now to believe the rock went through the window and then hit the guy in the head and then he fell on the knob to accelerate the train.
	And he doesn't remember a thing.
	Right.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, well...
	Now they had a bunch of nonsense...
	How about this?
	Shit happens.
	Well, you usually don't go 106 miles an hour in a 50 mile an hour zone if you're driving a train.
	No, shit happens.
	Well, it happened to his head, so he can't remember a thing.
	Yeah.
	I don't have anything.
	I don't get what I think the FBI is going to see if they can turn into a terrorism case.
	Oh, they'd love to.
	Yeah, of course.
	I think they dropped the ball on this one.
	They could have called it terrorism from the get-go.
	And they would say, you know, the terrorists are throwing rocks at trains.
	This would be the latest point.
	Well-known.
	I don't think...
	Long-grown domestic rock-throwing terrorists.
	I'm going to agree with you that this was not a setup and whatever happened, they're desperately trying to find anything.
	But more...
	Because this story about the rock, I read the day it happened, just now, and now it's being picked up.
	So I... I do love how it's being politicized.
	This was a good clip from our friend Chris Matthews over there at MSNBC. When you talk about uniting the country, that is a beautiful idea, and we all love that idea, but we have a situation right now where there are 180 congressional districts where nobody takes the train ever, not Amtrak, and two-thirds of those are represented by Republicans, and they don't care about us.
	I mean, it makes me sad to hear about it.
	So they treat trains like Hispanics?
	We don't have enough in our district to worry about.
	Exactly.
	So we don't care about immigration reform, we don't care about trains.
	Train rides are the...
	I used to say that Ted Kennedy could beat Jimmy Carter anywhere on the Amtrak route.
	Because it is more liberal.
	Anyway, thank you.
	Why do I think of these things?
	Why do I think of these things?
	Because you're a douchebag?
	Orderline clip of the day.
	It's just offbeat, but of course it reveals the fact that you've gone back.
	I know, I know.
	You know what I started watching?
	Greta Van Susteren.
	She's on Fox.
	On the Fox's network, yes.
	And I actually, I picked up two Dynamite.
	Well, yeah, I think Dynamite Clips.
	Dynamite Clips.
	Wait a minute, let me get this.
	Dynamite Clips and Greta Van Susteren not match.
	Well, this was my mistake as well.
	I thought, what can be going on with Greta Van Susteren?
	But because of Fox's ratings...
	All the big guns liked to at least go on there and get a little say.
	And she went to hang out with Juh Johnson.
	Some call him Juh.
	We call him Juh.
	Juh Johnson.
	It is Juh.
	J-E-H. How should you pronounce it?
	Juh Johnson.
	And Juh was at the...
	We had the big policeman's memorial.
	I think this was in New York, for all the fallen heroes.
	And Greta was right there talking to you.
	And of course, when you're talking about police, what do you got to talk about?
	ISIS, obviously.
	They don't ask anything.
	As you know, they don't get lavish pay, but they're prepared to put their lives on the line at a moment's notice.
	Which brings me to the other issue of ISIS in this country, because our front line of defense for ISIS many times is the police officer or law enforcement.
	They're the ones who are called out to fight, or the FBI or any law enforcement.
	That is becoming more and more the case, given how the global terrorist threat is evolving.
	It's just evolving more and more the case, John.
	They're all over the place.
	That's correct.
	What do you say to them?
	Be vigilant.
	Be aware.
	Be ready.
	And in the Department of Homeland Security, what we're doing more and more is what we call vertical information sharing, vertical intelligence sharing with state and local law enforcement.
	We want people in local law enforcement to see what we're seeing in terms of the latest intelligence picture.
	This sounds very nefarious.
	Where the FBI is now showing local law enforcement what they see.
	Just because they might see something, they think they see something, and of course they don't really, this propagates fear and over-vigilance throughout all communities.
	So our intelligence unit in DHS spends a lot of time with state and local law enforcement police chiefs, sheriffs, Director Comey and I had a video teleconference with a thousand police chiefs and sheriffs across the country last week to share with them the picture that we're seeing, and we think that's more and more important.
	What about, the other day you were talking about the lone wolf.
	I mean, how do the police even begin to fight that lone wolf, and then you factor in?
	The internet where you have people who...
	Lone wolves are in the internet?
	The unthinkable.
	They become recruited for ISIS. They want to act alone here in the United States.
	How do you possibly fight against that?
	It very definitely presents a more challenging picture because...
	He's got a lot of pictures and he's showing pictures and he wants everyone to see the picture.
	It's a challenging picture.
	You know, they bring this issue up over and over again.
	What does it take...
	You know, if Viacom can stop all...
	You know, somebody shows a two-second clip or has a background song of a...
	You have your baby, and you're playing the radio, and some...
	Deleted.
	YouTube account deleted.
	Yeah, some little music is playing that's...
	They cut it out of YouTube.
	They get rid of it.
	You know, it's been deleted.
	But they can't do anything about all these ISIS recruitment videos?
	They're all in English, apparently.
	And they can't get rid of any of them?
	Does this sound like a little, like, bullcrap to you?
	Oh, it gets better.
	...of the prospect of an independent actor who is not recruited overseas.
	I'm sorry.
	He's now moved from a lone wolf.
	Did you hear the new term?
	Independent actor.
	You've heard this before this.
	Oh, I hadn't heard.
	I didn't realize.
	It very definitely presents a more challenging picture because of the prospect of an independent actor who is not recruited overseas, not trained overseas, doesn't accept orders overseas and comes to this country.
	We have systems in place.
	What does the guy do?
	He doesn't accept orders overseas.
	Hey, I'd like to buy a duffel bag.
	Hey, I'm not buying, taking any orders overseas.
	I'll take them from your local only.
	It's too much expense to mail this stuff.
	Hey, man, you got any armbands you can ship overseas?
	Not taking any orders.
	There you go.
	Inspired by something they read on social media or on the internet.
	And decides to commit an act of violence on their own.
	That's much harder to detect.
	And what I've been saying is that very often the cop on the beat may be the first one to actually find out about a potential terrorist attack.
	ISIS.
	We will follow them to the gates of hell.
	ISIS.
	Now, Greta had Mike Morrell on, former acting director of CIA. He was getting on a lot of shows.
	He has a book.
	He has a book out.
	Written by the agency.
	Of course it's written by the agency.
	It even says with, you know, whatever, Brian Hill or whatever the guy's name is, someone else wrote from the agency.
	And the same question was posed, ISIS in America.
	So ISIS as a group is not here.
	What?
	Right now ISIS poses two threats here.
	One is the ability to radicalize young men and women here.
	We've seen that in a number of cases.
	We've seen them actually act that out in Texas last week.
	The other is the ability to direct lone individuals, probably people who went to Iraq and Syria to come back and to conduct acts.
	So that's what ISIS can do today, Greta.
	But if we don't stay focused on these guys, if we allow them to maintain safe haven in Iraq and Syria, then in time they are going to be able to come here and conduct a 9-11 style attack.
	We have to stay focused on this group, just as like we have to stay focused on Al-Qaeda.
	I'm afraid.
	I'm so afraid.
	9-11 style attack.
	How can they do that?
	Don't we have everything all locked down?
	Or are they going to hijack the in-flight entertainment system?
	Well, we've got the NSA listing in on everything.
	How can this even be possible?
	That's the first question, if I was a Grit, I'd ask him.
	I'd say, well, you know, the NSA's listing on everything.
	We're in a complete surveillance state.
	We're on lockdown for all practical purposes.
	See something, say something.
	How is this even possible?
	Nothing can get through.
	See something.
	See something.
	Citizens are vigilant.
	Police force is vigilant.
	We have NSA everywhere.
	It should not be possible.
	But, John, this is where things changed.
	We have Barbara Starr.
	Are you familiar with Barbara Starr?
	Barbara, Barbara Starr?
	Stripper?
	She's a stripper and she used to work Vegas and now she's in Atlanta.
	Now she's at the Pentagon.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Barbara Starr is the CNN Pentagon correspondent.
	And they had this piece that I was prepping last night.
	And this piece came on.
	It was mind-boggling about ISIS using the web as a terror weapon.
	Are you ready for it?
	I don't want you to get too scared once you hear this.
	Should I sit down?
	And probably close the web browser, because ICE is going to pop right out and kill you.
	With the hand come right out of the machine.
	That's what it feels like.
	ISIS, still undefeated after months of bombing, has entered a new phase, using the cyber world as a weapon.
	The recent ISIS-inspired attack in Garland, Texas, was carried out after gunman Elton Simpson publicly posted this tweet on the internet using the hashtag TexasAttack.
	Now, new online threats are forcing the Pentagon to confront a secret internet most of us never see.
	In a place most of us have never been.
	Now, are you ready to go on a voyage to a place where most of us have never been on the web?
	You will hear an expert from the Rand Corporation telling you exactly what it all looks like on the deep, dark, secret web.
	The dark or deep web.
	The U.S. police, ISIS, and others are now using the most covert part of the online world to recruit fighters, share intelligence, and potentially plan real-world attacks.
	Think of the entire...
	Notice she has the Caliphate number one song playing in the background?
	By the way, I think what she's talking about is Google Mail, but that's another story.
	Real world attacks.
	Think of the entire internet as an iceberg.
	Everything above the water is what we would call the surface web, or what could be indexed by Google, but below the water.
	I love what she says.
	This is a woman from the Rand Corporation.
	She says everything that is the surface web is indexed by Google.
	Listen carefully to what she's saying.
	These are very important data points.
	Is what we would call the surface web or what can be indexed by Google.
	But below the water, that huge iceberg, that's the deep web.
	That's the part of the web that's not indexed.
	There's so much of the web that we can't just Google for.
	Are you familiar with all that iceberg under the water?
	Making it tough to crack, but researchers are finding portals to get inside.
	I found my portal!
	It's a website on the darknet.
	One of the references to the website, a few of the references to the website, was that it's an ISIS funding website.
	Pentagon scientists plan to go in and chase ISIS down.
	Oh, they're going into the dark web!
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, stop being asked.
	These questions are needed.
	Because somebody's apparently at their network's not asking these questions, but I'll ask them.
	Yeah, please.
	They're going into the dark web to ferret these guys out.
	Why don't they...
	Am I wrong when I say that YouTube, for example, is not in the dark web?
	It's right out there in the open, and they've got all these ISIS videos on there, and they can't get rid of those?
	No.
	Does this make any sense that they could go into the dark web and then ferret these guys out and they can't even get rid of a YouTube video that is searchable?
	Well, you know why Barbara Starr's not asking the question.
	She's a stripper.
	Might as well be.
	The gun scientists plan to go in and chase ISIS down.
	Can you just imagine guys going, okay, I'm ready, digitize me.
	Suck me in, FTP me to the dark web.
	CYBER! We need a technology to discover where that content is and make it available for analysis.
	That military technology...
	Analysis?
	Oh, we gotta look at the...
	Hey, look at this.
	They're using the WordPress blog software.
	There's WordPress blog software.
	Let's analyze it.
	Enhance.
	Zoom.
	Rotate.
	Analysis.
	That military technology known as Memix...
	Memix...
	I just heard this.
	Mimics?
	Have you ever heard of this military cyber technology?
	That or she just says Mimics for no appearance.
	Mimics.
	Yeah, here it is.
	Mimics.
	I found it right away.
	Mimics.
	Mimics.
	You look up Mimics and I will...
	EX, I'm guessing.
	I think it's M-E-M... I don't know.
	Mimics.
	It's a unique search engine.
	Seeing patterns of activity on the dark web.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute.
	Let me roll that back.
	Now I'm confused as to what she's saying.
	A unique search engine.
	Yeah, let's see.
	Analysis.
	That military technology, known as Memix, acts as a unique search engine, seeing patterns of activity on the dark web and websites not available via traditional routes like Google or Bing.
	Hold on a second.
	Memix, the search engine for the dark web.
	Can we get access to this so we can finally find some...
	The brainchild of the boffins, it says.
	Who are the boffins?
	The boffins.
	DARPA. What is this?
	Now wait a minute, isn't DARPA, didn't we have a clip a couple weeks ago or a couple shows ago of this guy promoting one of these boneheads, promoting, setting up a new research and development operation in the Defense Department, never mentioning DARPA already existing?
	Yeah.
	What's going on here?
	Who was that?
	Sounds like a bunch of malarkey.
	Well, I like it.
	Search engine.
	We're creating a new search engine, Memex.
	It's already done, apparently.
	Seems like Memex was...
	Developed a long time ago.
	I'll read about it.
	Oh, you read about it.
	Seen patterns of activity on the dark web and websites not available via traditional routes like Google or Bing.
	Memex allows you to characterize how many websites there are and then what kind of content is on them.
	Hiding on the web has become easier with tools like Tor.
	Hiding on the web.
	Wait, she's a stripper!
	Did she just come in from Saudi Arabia?
	No, she came in from Reseda, where all the strippers come from.
	That's where they come from.
	Mx allows you to characterize how many websites there are and then what kind of content is on them.
	Hiding on the web has become easier with tools like...
	You're so right!
	Hiding, what is that?
	Hiding, hiding.
	Straight from Reseda, here she is, Raven.
	Give it up.
	And then what kind of content is on them?
	Hiding on the web has become easier with tools like Tor.
	A browser that bounces...
	Oh, tools like Tor.
	Tor's not hiding on the web.
	Well, I think this is promoting morons to go on Tor.
	Browser that bounces communications around the world, keeping anyone from knowing what sites you visit and where you are located, basically making you invisible.
	Ooh!
	You can use Tor either to go to normal websites.
	This is the Rand Corporation woman again.
	I think she's just promoting Tor.
	...to go to normal websites like CNN.com.
	Oh, that's not a normal website, honey.
	Wait, what is she talking about?
	What are you going to be doing with Tor and CNN? What is the point?
	Using the Tor browser, I guess.
	Yes, she says you can go to a normal website like CNN.com.
	Yeah, on any old browser.
	Yeah, with Tor.
	What difference does it make?
	And where you are located.
	Basically, making you invisible.
	You can use Tor either to go to normal websites, like CNN.com, or to go to what's called Special Hidden Services.
	An ISIS militant could be in Texas, but a message is routed to Paris, to Istanbul, and then finally to Syria, making it difficult to drive you...
	That's the way the internet works!
	That's the way it works anyway.
	It's bouncing all over the place.
	John, John, just 15 more seconds.
	Let's get to the end.
	Making it difficult to track users.
	Young people are posting about ISIS-related topics.
	Memics will start by tracking the places where ISIS is active online.
	A difficult hunt through uncharted territory where terrorists have been lurking far too long.
	Here's what I see.
	Well, before you go on your analysis, I will have to be, I think in my report on the Mimics, DARPA's search engine for the dark web, it's kind of a site search.
	I don't see it any different than Google, where you go search term, site, colon, website name kind of thing.
	It seems like the same thing to me.
	I don't see it.
	This does anything.
	I believe so.
	It's its own kind of...
	Okay, they got a couple of crawlers.
	Crawlers.
	I keep saying crawlers.
	Crawlers.
	They got a couple of crawlers that they target some sites with, and they crawl away.
	I mean, you can do that yourself if you get the name of the site.
	If you don't have the name of the site, I don't see how this thing's any better than anything else.
	I can tell you what's going on here.
	This is promoting a new search engine that will be just like...
	Many others will eventually become a big public facing utility.
	In fact, here is Chris White, DARPA program manager.
	We're envisioning a new paradigm for search that would tailor index content, search results, and interface tools to be to individual users and specific subject areas and not the other way around.
	By inventing better methods for interacting with and sharing information, we want to improve search for everybody and individualize access to information.
	These guys are trying to compete with Google, and they're pre-promoting it in this manner.
	I think.
	No, I'm not going to argue that that theory might be the case, but these things always end up getting bought by Google.
	And then they just go away.
	I don't see that this is anything special.
	They claim in this one article that some guy, I don't know how, they just tossed this off.
	On September 2014, sex trafficker Benjamin Gaston was sentenced to a minimum of 50 years in prison, having been found guilty of sex trafficking as well as kidnapping, criminal sexual act, rape, assault, and sex abuse, all in the first degree.
	American Scientific American reports that mimics...
	Was in the thick of it with this quote from the magazine.
	A key weapon in the prosecutor's arsenal, according to the NYDA's office, an experimental set of internet search tools, the U.S. Department of Defense is developing to catch and lock up human traffickers.
	Nice.
	That's nonsense.
	Well, we've got to be very vigilant of ISIS. Well, you know, of course, we had the...
	Using the web as a terror weapon.
	The kill, if you're done with it.
	Or you have your Fincher analysis.
	No, I'm done.
	That's my analysis.
	They killed some hotshot.
	They counted the bookkeeper for ISIS was gunned down.
	The CFO? Yeah, the CFO for ISIS was gunned down by one of our top teams, one of the top men.
	And I picked up a bunch of different clips, because this just happened last night, or this got reported.
	And so I got different clips from different news agencies, but I realized that the best one, because it seems to be government packaged, are the local news reports that have a package hooked to them, done by somebody.
	Let's explain how this works again for newbies.
	Yeah, if you're a local news station and you're covering national news, which they all do because the top of the headlines usually has to be addressed.
	And I want you to know that pretty soon your local news stations will probably be gone due to underfunding, but that's for later in the program.
	It's a possibility, although that's still a good moneymaker for most locals.
	Yeah, I'll tell you why in a minute.
	Whatever the case, and I said, yes.
	And I smacked my lips there.
	I'm sorry.
	And we're both saying by the way too much.
	Are we both saying by the way too much?
	You have no idea.
	You have no idea how bad it is.
	I have an end of show clip of us doing by the way.
	End of show.
	That guy should be strung up.
	That's a new guy.
	A new guy.
	These people just make our lives miserable.
	Wait until you hear it.
	Oh, sure.
	I'll probably have a big shot of vodka after that one.
	Anyways...
	Our local station, they get the news, they get a feed, and they read from the feed.
	They polish very little.
	The national guys do more work.
	They'll change their names.
	Good evening, everybody.
	They bring in a package, which is somebody who's already pre-produced.
	They even customize the package so the person says, I'm talking for our local.
	And it was George W. Bush who started doing this on mass scale in his administration.
	Yeah, very wise thing to do.
	Well, here is the local report with the package, which I believe represents the official government stance on this.
	And this is the clip, ISIS kill with Molly, what's Hellenberger, whatever her name is, I never heard of her, coming in from Washington.
	We're learning new details tonight about the special operations raid on an ISIS leader in Syria.
	The man, identified as Abu Sayyaf, was killed last night, his wife taken captive, and another woman, considered his slave, rescued.
	Reports say U.S. commanders had to...
	Hold on a second.
	This ISIS is starting to sound pretty good.
	You've got wives and slaves.
	This sounds like a good deal.
	Reports say U.S. commandos had to use hand-to-hand combat against Sayof and his guards.
	Sayof and others started using women and children as human shields, they say.
	I saw the same report.
	On my local station.
	Of course you did.
	This is the package.
	But what's funny about it, it parallels everything about the Osama bin Laden original report until it got debunked.
	You have the hand-to-hand combat, firefight.
	I love hand-to-hand combat.
	The shields.
	It's so parallel that it's almost embarrassing.
	I would love to understand how they got into a situation of hand-to-hand combat.
	Hey, that's my wife.
	Hey, put you, you.
	Hey, give me that slave.
	Hey, using your kid as a human shield.
	Douchebag.
	I'll just knock you out.
	As human shields, they say.
	But U.S. forces were able to keep the women and children alive while killing Sayof and 11 guards.
	Intelligence was recovered, including laptops, files, and phones.
	Ah, treasure trove.
	Sayof was a powerful figure who controlled ISIS oil and finance operations.
	Reporter Molly Henneberg has more from Washington.
	Go, Molly.
	A senior U.S. defense official tells Fox that this was, quote, a real firefight, a no-kidding old-school firefight.
	Here's what defense secretary...
	A no-kidding, like at the OK Corral?
	Is that what she means?
	I don't know, but...
	Like gun smoke?
	I thought that you had 10 people killed on one, or 11 or 12 people killed on one side, and no kids, nobody else even hit with a bullet.
	I love it.
	I love it.
	A no-kidding old-school firefight.
	No-kidding old-school firefight, bitches!
	Here's what Defense Secretary Ash Carter said about the raid.
	Quote, Last night, at the direction of the Commander-in-Chief, I ordered U.S. Special Operations Forces to conduct an operation in Al-Amir in eastern Syria to capture an ISIL senior leader known as Abu Sayyaf and his wife, Umm Sayyaf.
	Abu Sayyaf was involved in ISIL's military operations and helped direct the terrorist organization's illicit oil, gas, and financial operations as well.
	Secretary Carter says no U.S. personnel were killed or injured during this operation.
	The Obama administration has largely relied on drone strikes in fighting ISIS. But one former national security adviser during the President George W. Bush administration says President Obama was willing to take more of a risk here.
	Let's face it, this is a statement as well.
	The U.S. for the first time going in on the ground, killing a high-value leader.
	The rest of the leadership now has even got to be more wary than they were before.
	The Delta team also found archaeological relics, such as an Assyrian Bible.
	As for the Yazidi woman found during the raid, who appears to have been an ISIS slave, the Obama administration says it hopes to reunite her with her family as soon as possible.
	Somebody please make me the t-shirt ISIS slave.
	Please.
	I really, really want that.
	ISIS slave.
	You know, what this sounds like...
	This is such malarkey.
	You know what it sounds like?
	It sounds like they're trying to obfuscate the fact that we now have boots on the ground, which we were not going to have by saying, "Oh, well, you know, we saved the children.
	We didn't drone strike.
	We had the guts to go in and save the slave and the wife and the kids." That, to me, is the tip of the iceberg of the messaging of this.
	This is also experimental.
	How's the public going to react?
	You may have more.
	I do have two more clips that are important.
	Just for background, I have a quick clip of Lieutenant General Terry.
	Who gave a quick statement at the Pentagon about what is happening.
	And listen to the words and descriptors he's using for this clear boots on the ground mission.
	As a part of a broader diplomatic, intelligence, military, and economic effort, the coalition will enable regional partner security.
	Iraqi security forces must be a capable force, one that can restore Iraq's sovereign borders, Retake territory from Daesh and secure...
	So now he's saying Daesh instead of ISIS....the Iraqi people.
	Make up your mind!
	An offensively minded and trained security force backed by an inclusive government of Iraq is the key to future stability.
	Hold on a second.
	An offensive force?
	That's not just training.
	No, that's not just hanging out in the background.
	An offensive force backed by...
	An offensively minded and trained security force backed by an inclusive government of Iraq is the key to future stability.
	As you know, we have been authorizing an additional 1,500 U.S. personnel.
	They will serve in non-combat roles to support additional advise and assist requirements and the building partner capacity effort.
	I don't understand if you have a non-combat role, but you have a security force that is offensive.
	In addition, we anticipate coalition contributions that should produce at least an additional 1,500 personnel in these efforts.
	We're seeing initial successes in this fight.
	My assessment is that Dash has been halted in transitioning to the defense and is attempting to hold what they currently have.
	You will see some local counter-attacks in that regard.
	There will be challenges down the road that will require patience.
	The government of Iraq understands the great threat they face and they are resolved to defeat it.
	We're starting the war over.
	That's what I believe is a new chapter of what ISIS will be a successful campaign to bring the coalition's power to bear and ultimately lead to the defeat of Daesh.
	But it's not Daesh that we're worried about.
	It's ISIS or ISIL or IS. Who's he beating?
	He's beating Daesh.
	Dude, you're on the wrong playing field with your dash.
	These guys have got to get a clue.
	No, they have the clue.
	They don't care.
	Now, if you remember the original report from KTVU, which is the local station here, where they said at the end when the woman came on with the package, she was the representative of the government, but she says she's from Fox.
	And I guess she works there.
	Uh...
	There was the mention of Obama signing off on, we gotta get this guy!
	At the direction of the Commander-in-Chief.
	Now, I want to play the next clip would be F24.
	This is the France 24 report.
	And there's a couple of discrepancies in here that like, wait a minute.
	It wasn't a bounty on his head.
	And it does seem unusual to send the most elite unit in the U.S. military to assassinate or to capture a guy who wasn't on the hit list.
	And it has led to speculation that perhaps the Delta Force team that did go to Deirizal in the early hours of yesterday were looking for someone else.
	Several other jihadists were killed alongside Syaf while computers and documents belonging to the group were seized in the raid.
	Syaf's wife was also captured and is now being questioned at an American military prison in Iraq.
	I couldn't really hear the first bit.
	Okay, let me tell you what the guy said.
	This was part of a long exposition where they went on and on about this.
	This guy, Syed, is not on the hit list.
	Huh.
	Look at the American, you know, they have these published lists of guys we're going after.
	This guy's nowhere on it, so why would you send Delta Force, the most elite group of killers that we have working for us, after some guy that's not even on the list?
	For hand-to-hand combat.
	So they believe that this wasn't the guy they were after.
	So in other words, because the last step has got one of the ex-Delta Force generals yakking about how great they are.
	What they're implying here is that they screwed up.
	They didn't shoot the guy they were after.
	This wasn't an elite group that nailed this guy they were going after.
	They found this guy.
	What are we going to do, boss?
	This other guy's not here.
	Who do you think they were after?
	We have the accountant.
	Who do you think they were after?
	Free as slave.
	Who did you make the most of this?
	I'm not even going to ask anymore.
	But I think the wife is going to be a treasure trove.
	Yeah, the wife is a treasure trove.
	Thank goodness.
	I thought the computers and the laptops and the books.
	This is the ex-general head of the Delta Force talking about how great they are, even though apparently they botched this last issue.
	John!
	And now the big prize is on.
	Guys, this is my mistake.
	I have never been looking for a woman who could be a treasure trove of wife.
	I'd look for trophy-wise.
	You need treasure trove.
	I never understood it.
	But I think the wife is going to be a treasure trove of information.
	She's going to know a lot of the connections.
	She's going to know a lot of the connections.
	She has to walk ten feet behind the guy.
	What are you talking about?
	She can't even talk to the guy.
	Are you kidding me?
	She's going to know a lot about how things operate.
	And what is just beginning to understand...
	Oh, man.
	I'm going to give it to you.
	She's going to know a lot about how things operate.
	And what is just beginning to unfold is her involvement in the slave trade and the sex trafficking and that type of thing, which is making big money for ISIS. So I think she's going to provide a lot of...
	Wait a minute.
	If it's making big money for ISIS, where can I buy me a treasure trove slave?
	Is that on the dark, deep, hidden web?
	You're going to share all your information with your slave wife.
	Hold on, I have to check Memek, see if I can find me a treasure trove wife from Dash.
	She's making big money for ISIS, so I think she's going to provide a lot of valuable information, if exploited properly, could really strike another devastating blow to ISIS. Now what makes us think...
	Finally, women are helping the war on terror.
	That she will talk to us.
	And by the way...
	Waterboard the bitch!
	Hello, just waterboard her!
	Come on, you know how to do that?
	Now what makes us think that she will talk to us?
	And by the way, who is she talking to?
	What are the rules?
	Is this Janine?
	You got it!
	I love her!
	Is Iraq?
	Does Iraq have her?
	Do we have her?
	How does this work?
	I am quite sure that Iraq is putting great pressure on the Central Command right now to turn her over, but I can assure you she's in the hands of U.S. interrogators right now, and she will talk.
	And I don't mean that from a torture perspective.
	Eventually, she will talk.
	Don't you worry.
	We're from America, everybody.
	She will talk.
	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.
	Well, if you don't mean it from a torture perspective, General, then how are you convinced?
	Because it is very unlikely that she's had any kind of training or preparation for how to resist interrogation.
	You know, when we force feed you through your rectum.
	And what's going to happen is they're going to have her so confused.
	She'll be tired.
	She'll be confused as to where she is.
	And they do this by just turning on the Kardashians.
	If she watches that and she goes, I'm so confused.
	What is this world I'm living in?
	Ultimately, she'll break just from a psychological perspective.
	She'll break and talk.
	Is the success of this mission, even though the person intended to be captured ended up being killed, does that somewhat signal what's going to be happening in the future?
	Oh, I hope so.
	Listen, Judge, you know, this Delta Force was created to do just this kind of thing.
	And again, I say, I think from the people I've talked to, it's a textbook operation.
	But I think that this should send a strong signal that you can't hide.
	This administration may be finally starting to break the code on what it's going to take to hurt ISIS in a way that is going to make them rethink how they're operating.
	All right, bend over.
	Here it goes.
	We need to kill them.
	We need to kill them.
	Wow.
	Good one, John.
	Good one.
	Good one.
	Yeah, I caught that.
	I love it.
	This guy's nuts.
	Well, with that, I want to thank you for your courage and say, in the morning to you, John C. Clip of the day, Dvorak.
	And in the morning to you, Adam Curry.
	In the morning to all ships of sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and noites out there.
	In the morning to everyone in the shot room, NoAgendaStream.com, who are having a good time, laughing it up with that clip of the day.
	In the morning to our artists, and we thank Mr.
	Fabulous, who is brand new to the partay, I believe.
	I see you going back and forth on the email with Mr.
	Fabulous.
	Yeah, he said, thanks for choosing my art.
	I said, hey, thank you for making it.
	NoAgendaArtGenerator.com is where you can find all the submissions.
	And people don't...
	Visit that.
	And we mention it every single time.
	We always credit our artists pretty much as first credit anywhere in the show.
	And I always mention noagendaartgenerator.com.
	Go there.
	See what's happening.
	You will be inspired.
	Inspired, I tell you.
	Good work, everybody.
	Thank you.
	We want to thank a few people.
	Here's a donation from David Foley, not the Dave Foley from Kids in the Hall.
	He's a Grand Duke, so holy moly, buy a 4K TV, y'all.
	That's right.
	The Grand Duke of the USA, everybody.
	Yes, Sir David Foley.
	The Grand Duke is Los Gatos, California.
	45678.
	Please, in close, find one of John's favorite donations to help stave off the recent lull of donations.
	Thanks for continuing to bring us In Fletcher Voice, the best podcast in the universe!
	I don't think we have a Fletcher doing that, actually.
	Well, you'll be, by the end of the show.
	By the end of this segment.
	By the end of the A block.
	By the end of the A block.
	I can't even imagine what he meant at the dinner table.
	Pass the wine!
	Butter!
	Or serve.
	Dame Monica Lansing from Drayton Valley, Alberta, 33333.
	Really like what you two are doing.
	Keep up the great work.
	The donation should make me a baroness.
	Yay!
	I'd like to request a job karma for Ken.
	For Ken.
	Good old Ken.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	For our two executive producers, we go now to associate executive producer Sir Charles Jordan, 273 from Wisconsin, Milwaukee to be specific.
	FoundationBar.com, Wisconsin.
	Wisconsin's best Mai Tai in the universe.
	FoundationBar.com.
	Check it out if you're in the area.
	I think you should.
	David Fugizotto in Parts Unknown, you may say in the letter, $234.56, 23456.
	When I heard James Spann was one of the executive producers for show 721, I knew it was a sign that it was time again to contribute to the TBPITU. Mr.
	Spann is the weatherman of my youth.
	Yeah, I saw this email coming in.
	I didn't know that.
	That's kind of cool.
	Yeah, he's an old-timer weatherman.
	I'd like to thank him for his courage in supporting the show and glad to hear he's doing his best to propagate the formula all over the Magic City.
	Adam, have you given any thought to establishing a donation amount that would gain the donor his own moral self-license?
	This would be eminently useful.
	Any amount actually gives you moral self-license, but we don't have a special amount.
	It would be eminently useful when douchebags bring up the latest cause du jour and attempt to cajole some useless gesture, such as dumping a bucket of ice water on your head.
	Or a red nose, or any other.
	The red nose is pretty old, though.
	It still falls under the moral self-licensing heading.
	Oh, yeah.
	Absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	Perhaps one of your talented producers could mock up something for you and John's approval.
	Okay.
	This donation should bump me over the crest of knighthood.
	Please dub me Sir Dave, Doctor of Lviv.
	Lviv?
	Lviv.
	I'd love to hear at the end of the day song, get some pork ribs and pale ale and have a birthday shout out for my lovely wife.
	Oh, is she on the list?
	I just put her on the list.
	19th of May.
	Thanks for the twice weekly dose of sanity, humor, and public service announcements.
	But at the end of the day, they're backing him.
	You know, they're backing him.
	Come on.
	At the end of the day...
	At the end of the day, John, if someone wants to get anyone, they can get them.
	At the end of the day.
	At the end of the day, it's more important that we have entertainment.
	At the end of the day.
	So, at the end of the day, who's going to pay for the real loan?
	It's going to be taxpayer money.
	At the end of the day.
	Because at the end of the day, that's going to be up to Valerie Jarrett.
	At the end of the day.
	I mean, at the end of the day, isn't that it?
	It goes on for another minute, maybe a little longer.
	I'm sure it does.
	But I can play to the end of the show.
	I'm annoyed that I never catch you saying it.
	I don't say it.
	It's by the way that I say, as much as you do.
	By the way.
	By the way.
	It's disgusting.
	Let's get rid of these things.
	What's interesting to me, which I don't think is one of them, what's interesting to me is there's so many of these ditties.
	Mm-hmm.
	And we pepper our conversation.
	Everybody does.
	We pepper our conversation with them.
	I don't think pepper the conversation is one of them.
	Constantly.
	But you get paranoid.
	I'm very paranoid.
	I'm actually talking staccato now to make sure I don't do anything wrong.
	I'm so worried.
	I wind up talking to friends.
	And I say basically.
	I said, I meant to say basically.
	And they look at me like, what the fuck are you talking about?
	Because they don't listen to the show or anything.
	What are you talking about, you idiot?
	Essentially.
	I meant to say essentially.
	Well, we try.
	We do try.
	Move on.
	We do try one of them.
	I hope not.
	Sir James Briscoe in Bayshore, New York, $223.
	Hey, fellas, haven't donated in a while due to my previous job, which I've recently changed.
	I'm now making 2X as much, so hopefully I can donate more frequently.
	And now we're for RoundTown.com in a much better environment, which currently is an event listing and search service.
	They should probably license Mimics.
	And working toward the premier event listing service available in the not-too-distant future will capture the Hot Pockets tours if they're properly advertised.
	If any producers work in an environment where you are underpaid and micromanaged, then get out ASAP, no matter the circumstance.
	It's almost never worth it, I've found.
	Please give me a spot of a relationship, Carm.
	I could certainly use it.
	Love the show, as always, Sir James Briscoe.
	Right on.
	A little karma for you for the relationship.
	You've got karma.
	Jobs and relationships, always tough.
	Tough.
	Yeah, that's why they need the karma.
	Emmett Stewart in Naxar, Malta.
	Oh, Malta.
	Nice.
	Go on a trip to Malta.
	Aren't you a knight?
	Knight of Malt.
	I'm a Kentucky colonel.
	I bet you are.
	I am.
	Paperwork to prove it.
	Donation from Malt.
	I'm an expat who used to be the guy living in Sardegna.
	Now my guy named Ben Skills got me to a tax haven.
	Woo!
	John, consider your newsletter sent and read.
	This is my feedback.
	We should all become AEPs at least once.
	I'd like to ask for a birthday call for my son, codename Klaus Trowitz.
	Codename Klaus.
	That message was in code.
	Oh, I'm sure.
	When you sent out the newsletter, you solicited feedback and suggestions for the program.
	Yes.
	Did you get any of interest?
	I got a few.
	Well, you can read them later.
	Claudia Gerber in Lisbon, Ohio.
	$200.
	I do not have a note from Claudia.
	Maybe we should check the email.
	Let me double check.
	I do recall something.
	She usually writes...
	I recall something.
	Let me see.
	Saying something.
	I think she sent a long note because PayPal refused to take her thing.
	Claudia Gerber.
	Your thing's no good with us.
	Huh.
	Your thing is no good.
	Is it Berger?
	No, I have Boyer.
	That's not her.
	I have a real email here.
	I'd have to come in that way.
	I do not have anything from her.
	Let me try this one more time.
	Claudia, regardless, your thing is no good.
	Your thing is no good.
	That thing's no good.
	No, I got nothing.
	Alright.
	She must have come up with a different email or something.
	She can email us.
	We always do make goods.
	We do make goods.
	Jennifer Lovberg in San Marcos, California.
	$200.
	Dear John and Adam, thank you so much for your work.
	With a slew of exclamation marks.
	Last month while on vacation in Solvang, California in Santa Barbara County, I met a man in the hot tub who was on...
	This is already a good story.
	I met a man in the hot tub who's on special security detail.
	This is the latest.
	No, this is the latest.
	Yes, and the Hitler's staying at a hotel.
	He enjoyed flirting with my single girlfriend at the U.S. taxpayer's expense.
	What a great country.
	Hell yeah!
	Please keep up the fantastic work.
	We need you.
	We need you.
	Love from Northern Mexico.
	Jennifer Love Karma from my 18-year-old graduating high school and leaving for college in August.
	Gracias amigos.
	I think that's so, so cool.
	I'm here on a special security detail, ma'am.
	Your thing's no good.
	We have to fix it.
	You've got to investigate your thing.
	That's America for you, bud.
	Jennifer Chacholichek, I believe.
	In the Galgary, she can give me the pronunciation somehow.
	200 bucks.
	Calgary, Alberta.
	The second Albertan that came in at the top levels.
	Good.
	Excellent.
	Greetings, comrades from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
	Not sure if you've heard, but the provincial New Democrat Party just ousted the progressive conservatives who had been in power for 43 years.
	With this shift from right to left and the price of oil, Albertans don't know whether to shit or go blind.
	I guess that's a Canadian thing.
	I guess.
	I don't know whether to shit or go blind.
	That's their choices in Canada.
	What do you want to do?
	I want to take a shit.
	I'm going to go blind.
	You do that shit.
	I've been a boner for a long time now, so please accept my donation of 200 bucks.
	Can I get a de-douching?
	Give her one.
	Absolutely, de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	Needs karma for a mom who's having surgery this week to remove breast cancer.
	Needs karma to all the No Agenda listeners who are going through this as well.
	Fuck cancer.
	Thanks so much, guys.
	Stop!
	You've got karma.
	Excellent.
	Excellent.
	And that concludes our group of producers and executive producers for show 722.
	I want to thank them and remind people we do have a show coming up on Thursday.
	They're still plugging along.
	We need some continued help, so go to devork.org slash NA. And I will be coming to you from Manhattan on the Thursday show.
	Yeah, shake it up.
	You never know what happens.
	Yes, exactly.
	Dvorak.org slash N-A. Please also remember you can do the very important work of being out there and propagating the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Hey, citizens.
	Shut up, slave.
	And before we move on today, John, a number of presidential proclamations.
	You know we love seeing what days, months, even weeks are important, according to our president.
	So this upcoming week will be World Trade Week, which is...
	It's just so coincidental.
	I don't know, but how do they get legislation about free trade agreements and the TPP right when World Trade Week kicks off?
	I'm astonishing.
	These guys coordinate so well.
	Of course, we have Armed Forces Day, which...
	What day is that?
	Did we already miss it?
	Armed Forces Day?
	We missed it.
	Oh no, it's the third Saturday of each May.
	So that will be this upcoming Saturday, Armed Forces Day.
	I thought it would be yesterday.
	Yeah, it might have been yesterday.
	This upcoming week is Emergency Medical Services Week.
	And I still never found anything about Nurses Week.
	I think that's still quite a faux pas, but he doesn't care about nurses apparently.
	But this is the critical role of EMS professionals, whether it's 9-11 dispatchers, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, EMS medical directors, law enforcement officers, firefighters, or nurses.
	There it is.
	There you go, nurses.
	You get to share.
	And it is National Safe Boating Week.
	It's about time.
	Because America's waterways are conduits to creating lasting memories, to discover worlds of adventures, and to generate economic opportunity.
	On our rivers, lakes, and oceans, a father brings his daughter fishing for the first time.
	A young man learns his ancestor's trade.
	A family takes a hard...
	I have a better one than that.
	Oh.
	Oh.
	Play the oil, shell, Seattle, and kayaks clip.
	Do I get to go back to my proclamations?
	Well, hundreds of people took to their kayaks, sailboats, and canoes in Seattle today to protest oil drilling by energy giant Shell.
	Activists staged the event called Paddle in Seattle in Elliott Bay.
	That's where the first of Shell's two oil rigs arrived.
	Shell is using the Port of Seattle as a staging area for its 20-vessel Arctic operation.
	According to Shell's website, the Arctic holds about 30% of the world's undiscovered natural gas and 13% of its oil.
	One community is really upset about this.
	Yeah, the S&M community, because they used to have paddle in Seattle.
	Well, right along with that, of course...
	It is still masturbation month, but not by presidential proclamation.
	However, today, John, today is International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia.
	Today and today alone.
	Only for today.
	Special today, your white sale.
	Michelle and I join our fellow Americans and others around the world in commemorating the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia tomorrow.
	Why did the bi-curious men and women not get a day?
	We take this opportunity to reaffirm that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights are human rights to celebrate the dignity of every person and to underscore that all people deserve to live free from fear, violence, discrimination, regardless of who they are or whom they love.
	Love now synonymous for everything.
	And of course, this weekend, I did not go, mainly because the show would just get in the way, or it would be in the way of the show, let's put it that way.
	Hamvention in Dayton, Ohio.
	Oh, Hamvention.
	You went last time.
	No, I went to Hamfest in Plano.
	Oh, Hamfest, I'm sorry.
	Hamvention is the big one in Dayton.
	That's the big whopper.
	It's the mega, mega whopper.
	I wish they'd move it out to San Francisco and have it at the Cow Palace.
	It's big enough, probably, for the Cow Palace.
	I would hope.
	But it's fun.
	W5KUB does a live stream.
	Icom America does a live stream.
	Ham Nation will be doing something live.
	I'd love to go, but I couldn't get the wheelchair and the oxygen in time.
	Because that seems to be the kit you need in order to...
	It's funny, you watch this cam, and you see people walking, and you just see dudes in wheelchairs with oxygen.
	Yeah, well, there was a lot of wheelchairs on these flights I was on.
	By the same token, I did want to mention, let's see, this was an interesting article that came out.
	Let's see, the Federal Appeals Court has decided to not force the federal government to disclose its plan to disable cell service during emergencies.
	And this was the Court of Appeals for District of Columbia Circuit concerning Standard Operating Procedure 303.
	How did I miss this?
	I didn't know they were going to discontinue.
	This is like crazy.
	Oh, it's an emergency.
	Kill all the phones so nobody can talk to anybody.
	Here it is.
	I'm reading that the court had taken the same position in February agreed with the government's contention that the Freedom of Information Act allows the Department of Homeland Security to withhold documents if their exposure could, quote, endanger public safety.
	Epic, the Electronic Privacy Information Center, which brought the Freedom of Information Act suit, asked the court to revisit the issue on what is known as en banc review to understand how the federal government will be shutting off the cell service.
	very similar to what they did in the...
	Was it the subway or the...
	You call it subway?
	Was it in San Francisco?
	Not subway.
	BART? Remember they...
	Yes, they shut down the BART of cell phones with a jammer.
	Right.
	There were some protests going on and they were fed up because the guys were organizing over the cell system.
	Do you realize what kind of disruption that would be?
	I keep saying to everybody, I'm going to say it again.
	I've said it before, I'll say it again.
	Get a landline, people.
	Well, not just that.
	Get a ham radio.
	Get a ham radio for sure.
	Get a license.
	Getting a tech license, anybody can do it.
	Easy.
	And with a ham radio, you've got point-to-point.
	You know who your friends are.
	You just hit the button.
	You're talking to your wife.
	And you can hit repeaters, even though repeaters may only be on temporarily because they're also powered.
	But yeah, they're 39 bucks at a cheap-ass Beofeng Chinese...
	Yeah, that's a fine.
	In fact, you can order it from Amazon.
	It goes like about 25 miles.
	I would say just order them.
	You can order them from Amazon.
	We don't need to show your license.
	You can't legally use it, but get a couple just to have it and then get your technician's license.
	Go to ARRL.org.
	It's really worth it.
	Now, technology.
	I just wanted to stick on this because I am from the future.
	I'm living in the future.
	and all these great tech shows everywhere.
	All they can talk about is Apple, Apple, Apple, Apple, watch Apple, Apple, Alexa, Oops.
	Didn't mean to say it that loud.
	So, I predicted that it would be coming pretty soon.
	You would be able to order through this wonderful device, the Amazon Echo, which I think is the best piece of technology I've ever had.
	Of course, it's spying on me.
	I'm sure all of that.
	But...
	You were able to order music with it, and now, new functionality, and this makes a lot of sense once I figured out, once I thought about it, you can reorder anything that you have ordered previously.
	And for a lot of, you know, for a lot of things, like you're running out of something, if you just say, I won't say her name because she's listening.
	Alexa?
	No, she can't.
	I had headphones on, she can't hear you.
	But I recorded my experience.
	Would you like to hear this?
	Oh, God.
	Is this short?
	Yes, I want to hear it.
	Alexa, reorder shave balm.
	I found multiple matches in your past orders.
	The top one is Livium and Sensitive Post Shave Balm.
	3.3 ounce, pack of four.
	The order total is $23.99.
	Should I order it?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Order placed.
	This is disgusting.
	I love it!
	It's like I'm watching one of those crappy movies.
	Some future movie with a guy saying he's living in a small apartment.
	This may be where, yeah, you're in an apartment.
	A small apartment overlooking the downtown.
	And the walls are all silver colored.
	I don't know, they don't use paint in the future, apparently.
	And they have some device.
	That's the only thing in the house, I might add, is this thing that you talk to.
	Yeah, yeah.
	You are living in the future.
	I I love it.
	Yeah, I'm bored or disgusted.
	It's the half of the wife that I don't need to have anymore.
	It's perfect.
	It's perfect.
	There's a million ways we can go with that joke.
	Just leave that where it is, John.
	No need to get into it at all.
	Something fantastic happened, which I believe has been completely misdiagnosed purposely probably, but I'd like to deconstruct what happened with George Stephanopoulos.
	Oh, this is good.
	Yeah, good.
	I'm glad you did that, because I knew about it and followed it, but I didn't get any clips or anything.
	So I will play his apology, and that should explain most.
	Now I want to address some news you may have seen about me.
	Over the last several years, I've made substantial donations to dozens of charities, including the Clinton Global Foundation.
	Those donations were a matter of public record, but I should have made additional disclosures on air when we covered the foundation.
	And I now believe that directing personal donations to that foundation was a mistake.
	Even though I made them strictly support work done to stop the spread of AIDS, help children, and protect the environment in poor countries, I should have gone the extra mile to avoid even the appearance of a conflict.
	I apologize to all of you for failing to do that.
	Okay.
	So he's not going to be fired.
	This is not like a Brian Williams thing.
	But it has been news of the day and it popped big time on Politico, even though they were not the ones who...
	Discovered it, some other smaller outfit I'll find in a minute, and it was $75,000, $25,000 in 2011, 2012, and 2013.
	Now, George Stephanopoulos has always been a Clinton operative.
	We've seen him do this in interviews.
	Of course, we've seen him run the campaign for Bill Clinton.
	And this guy is so dedicated that what I believe happened, and you know, Hillary Clinton has been silent for three weeks.
	Oh, she's not addressing the questions of the donations to the foundation.
	She's not addressing it.
	No, because she went, George, fall on the sword, George.
	So this guy comes out and boom, not a word left about foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation.
	It's all about Stephanopoulos.
	This guy is, he's so loyal.
	So loyal that he decided to jump in and say, okay, take me.
	Hit me around for a bit.
	I think you're dead on.
	That's a perfect analysis.
	Clintons will screw their friends, but I believe in this case, and they'll kill their friends.
	Maybe they said, hey, if you don't do it, we'll kill you, and that could be possible.
	But no one is saying...
	Well, we had a clip about three years ago before Christopher Hitchens died.
	And they talked about Hitchens hated Clinton to such an extreme, and he said why.
	He actually quoted Stephanopoulos, who told him that Bill Clinton, in particular, was a sociopath liar.
	And he went on and on about it.
	But even with that in mind, that Stephanopoulos was irked by Clinton's lying and straight-faced sociopathic He stayed loyal, and he stayed specifically to Hillary.
	He's a big Hillary fan.
	It's kind of pathetic that this guy is...
	Well, of course, then again, ABC is...
	They're all in.
	But I really was impressed.
	I was impressed at how they played it, impressed that they got this out to...
	I think Politico has so much importance in Washington, D.C., And they seem highly compromised.
	They don't make profit, by the way.
	And so, yeah, I was just, wow, the guy will do anything.
	Do you remember when he was moderating the Republican candidate debates?
	I remember that he threw something in, and we talked about it on the show, I just couldn't find the clip.
	And it was something about, it was completely unrelated to anything at the time about, I think it was bringing in the abortion thing on the Republicans.
	It was something that was sketchy.
	Yeah.
	I remember that he did something that was underhanded.
	He's just highly condemned for it, but he did it anyway.
	Yeah, and I looked and I could not find the clip.
	So he's always been an operative, and now he does it.
	I just wonder what the next step will be.
	So this is going on.
	I think Lucifer would have to come out and say something about him to propagate it and keep it going, or maybe not at all.
	They're very smart.
	They're so smart they know how to do this.
	I'm impressed.
	Very impressed with them.
	There's no sniping at the woman.
	We have lots of movement going on after John F. Carey went to see Putin, which was entirely underreported.
	Not on this show, we reported it.
	Thank you.
	Now, Noodleman.
	Vicky Newland is going to visit Moscow for Ukraine talks.
	And this comes amongst...
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
	What has she got to do with it?
	Is she running Ukraine?
	Yes.
	Hello?
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	Let's review, because people often forget this.
	When the Maidan was starting, actually it was even before the Maidan, we had Victoria Newland, real name Noodleman, married to the Kagan clan.
	We had her conspiring About the new Ukrainian government.
	And they would oust the democratically elected current president.
	And they would bring Yats.
	Her favorite Yats would come in.
	He's the prime minister.
	He would run everything.
	And then famously, which, I mean, this should be in every retrospective show about the Ukrainian crisis.
	She said, And at the same time, we now have reports from Radio And at the same time, we now have reports from Radio Free Europe same And at the same time, we now have reports from Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty.
	Now we know who they are.
	That's us.
	Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty is entirely funded by the Broadcast Board of Governors.
	The USAID money goes into that.
	That is the RT of America.
	And they now have reports, while Noodleman's over there talking to the Russians, of President Poroshenko's misuse of presidential power.
	Ah, he's corrupt now, you see.
	He's been exposed in a $25 million land deal cover-up.
	So, Ukraine is not going the way they want it to go.
	And I believe Kerry was there to start something up, and Noodleman is now going probably to the operational work.
	And I think we might see another regime change in Ukraine.
	At the same time, this may also be on the agenda.
	Did we talk about Macedonia?
	I think I mentioned it a couple weeks ago, a couple shows ago.
	Be on the lookout for Macedonia.
	Do you remember that?
	Maybe I thought it.
	I don't remember it.
	Okay, Macedonia.
	The reason why I was interested in Macedonia is the brand new Turkish stream, which used to be the South Stream, which is the Gazprom route into Europe, the new pipeline.
	It's ramping up.
	They've started to build it.
	It's going to be into Turkey.
	But to get it into the EU, the planned route is through Macedonia.
	Now, we already saw this happen with Hungary.
	Hungary said, yeah, we're all in on the South Stream at the time before it became the Turkish Stream.
	And they had a bank run and all kinds of horrible things happened.
	And Macedonia is all prepped and ready to go to receive the Turkish Stream.
	We get a terrorist attack.
	There's now talk of a color revolution, which today would be starting.
	What color do you think?
	We haven't seen that for a while.
	A color revolution, yeah.
	I don't know what color they'll choose.
	It always has to be something bright.
	I think lilac.
	The lilac revolution.
	Good.
	Very good.
	And I also...
	I finally got a transcript of Putin's podcast.
	He does a big show.
	This was in April...
	Yeah, there's the one that goes like three hours.
	Yeah, and he has call-ins and all kinds of fun.
	Yeah, the guy can't stop talking.
	Summarizing what he said, the terror in Chechnya in the early 1990s, he says in this podcast of his, was actively backed by CIA and Western intelligence services to deliberately weaken Russia.
	Which is a big deal for him to come out and say that.
	And of course what he's saying now is they are all, the West, the United States are trying to do the exact same thing now by weakening our state.
	And they're doing this through a number of means.
	Of course we have the economic sanctions, which as far as I'm concerned is an act of war at this point.
	I think it is.
	Yeah.
	So that, of course, will not be reported or discussed at all.
	But more importantly, we discovered we were looking at the map, and we saw all the U.S. warships in the Black Sea.
	And so I'm looking at this, and we have this coming up the end of this month and throughout June, NATO doing a series of exercises under the heading Allied Shield.
	And Allied Shield includes Exercise Noble Partner, which kicks off, I think, yeah, 11th, it's already starting, 11th to 25th.
	This will also include the Republic of Georgia.
	Where they will see the exercise of bilateral effort focused on enhancing U.S. and Georgian NRF interoperability.
	NRF is the NATO response force.
	This is if you're not really in NATO, but you want to be, you can have a NATO response force, which means you buy stuff from NATO members.
	And then along with that comes Trident Joust 15.
	And this will be another part of the NATO Response Force exercise.
	According to the Italian Army Lieutenant General Leonardo DiMarco, they will actually, for the first time, have NATO headquarters change of control.
	So they're really practicing or exercising a number of different ways of pretty much fighting Russia.
	And I wish, this is the one time I thought we could, it would be nice if we had a little bit of video, but I will play you the audio.
	We had all of the NATO ambassadors or foreign ministers, I think they're called, in Turkey, and they had a big summit to talk about NRFs and the exercises and just, you know, what do you do with NATO? You talk about who's going to buy the weapons and where are we going to use them?
	And at the end of this thing, you have to see this.
	They're all on the stage, these four ministers.
	And the four ministers, you don't recognize them because they kind of fly under the radar.
	They're drunk as skunks, and they're singing.
	They are now on stage singing We Are The World, their hands in the air.
	Some of them actually have drinks in their hand.
	We are!
	And they're singing, we are the world.
	This is how pathetic this is.
	These are our leaders.
	Yes, these are the people.
	Leaders, yeah.
	15 seconds.
	And now they're doing a conga line.
	Here's the guy ending it up.
	Thank you.
	Thank you. - What is this?
	You have to see this video.
	It's in the show notes.
	This is pathetic.
	But that's what they do.
	They go around, they drink, they screw each other.
	Spend the taxpayers' money on a bunch of garbage they don't need.
	Stir up crap.
	And then just be plastered all the time.
	These guys are taking us to the brink of death.
	You're really going to get us killed, these idiots.
	I believe we're getting a little too close to, you know, you can poke the bear and poke the bear and poke the bear, but at a certain point, you've got to be careful with the bear.
	You know, something strange happened to me, and I came across something which I wanted to ask you about.
	I think I often don't take enough advantage of your knowledge base, which is quite vast.
	That's probably, I think the bigger problem is you're not passing out enough disks.
	Well, there's that.
	But you're kind of like, you know, the surface, we see the iceberg, but underneath, that's where you...
	Exactly.
	Now, I wanted to say something about the disks, by the way.
	So I had a bunch of disks with me, so I'm at the gas station.
	And you said, by the way...
	I put the discs around, and the guy said, what's this?
	He's picking up garbage.
	I said, it's not garbage.
	I said, take it.
	Take it and listen to this, this garbage guy.
	Very good.
	So he took it, he looks and looks and looks, and he puts it in his pocket, and he probably listened to it.
	So Mimi pointed it out.
	Did you read the label on this thing?
	Yeah.
	Highlights of 2013.
	Yeah.
	There you go.
	That's us.
	Yeah, okay.
	We do have new ones.
	All right, back to the iceberg.
	Yeah, back to the iceberg.
	So I was reading an article about President Obama when he was teaching at Chicago Law School, and a former student of his was perturbed about...
	Something the president said, and this goes back to the Affordable Care Act, i.e.
	Obamacare, and the president had said that the Supreme Court, if they ruled against it, would be the unprecedented overruling of elected officials by unelected judges.
	I don't think we caught that when he said it at the time.
	But the student, who of course is now a lawyer, says, you know, this is unconscionable because Marbury v. Madison proves that judicial review works within our system, and that is in fact one of the first documented cases of and that is in fact one of the first documented cases of judicial review overruling the
	So as I'm doing that, I'm kind of reading around, and of course I stumble on, because it was Marbury v. Madison, James Madison, the fourth president of the United States and the fifth secretary of state.
	And it was because of the path that he took, being secretary of state first, before he became president, that I was looking around.
	I really got lost in this history lesson, and I want to say that we spend so much time in today's culture talking about science fiction and future, and so little on history.
	Apple Watch.
	Hail Apple!
	So I wanted to see if there was a comparison between how James Madison became, he was a congressman first, not a senator, unlike Hillary.
	And while I'm doing this, I bump into the War of 1812.
	Which, no, I didn't attend school in the United States, well, third grade, but then, of course, it was in Europe.
	They weren't talking about that in the third grade.
	And I did not know about the War of 1812.
	Are you familiar with the War of 1812?
	Everybody is.
	Really?
	Or should be.
	Can you explain?
	Well, shall I tell you what I found?
	Do you want to tell me?
	We attacked Canada.
	We decided that, oh, let's...
	And by the way, this war is still irksome in a lot of different ways, and I'll explain that.
	But we decided that, you know, Canada, unlike us, because we're superior, has never really left the British Empire, so let's free them.
	And so we decide to attack Canada.
	And they just said, what are you idiots trying to do?
	They attack us back and they burn down the White House.
	Right.
	And we surrender.
	There's a little more to it.
	There's a little more to it.
	That's the essence.
	That's the essence.
	And at the end of the day...
	So you can say that I say it.
	At the end of the day, when all was said and done, the Canadians, to this day, carp on this.
	You know, you assholes, we didn't want...
	You're getting into our business and we showed you and, you know, you lost that one, didn't you?
	a and this sort of thing and it's that brand and if they and but the joke on the canadians the real joke on the canadians is well they do that we go huh what are you talking about well what are you talking about i don't know what you what there's a piece to it that i didn't realize and the piece that was missing well first of all the way and i've read several different accounts but i'll say right up front wikipedia is where i got a lot of it from so book of knowledge take that for what it's worth um
	We were pissed off that the British had forced the French to no longer trade with us.
	And we also had British ships off the East Coast.
	And this is still kind of remnants from the Revolutionary War, 1776.
	And we had settlers moving closer and closer into Scandinavia.
	And, you know, it was, you know, people in covered wagons, I presume.
	But what the British did is they gave weapons to a whole bunch of Indian tribes, including the Shawnee, the Chickamoonga, the Fox, the Miami, the Mingo, the Ottawa, the Kickapoo. the Miami, the Mingo, the Ottawa, the Kickapoo.
	But by the same token, we had the Choctaw, the Cherokee, and the Creek allies on our side.
	And so we had Indians fighting Indians, and this is never really explained when people talk about, oh, you white men came in and killed all the Indians.
	It seems like a little more was going on than just us killing the Indians, particularly if the British were giving weapons to them.
	And this was Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and it was these British weaponized Indian tribes who were raiding the settlers and, you know, burning their shit and stealing and killing and raping the women.
	I just thought it was interesting to point out that that's never mentioned, that this was really an Indian tribe war by proxy, where they were the proxy for the United States and the British Empire.
	That's how we learned proxy wars.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah, maybe it's one of the first examples.
	Yeah, it's all entertaining.
	History's great.
	It is.
	Whatever you want to dig into it, you'll find even more weird stuff that went on.
	Yeah.
	Whatever you're told on a day-to-day basis is nonsense.
	Hail Apple.
	Hail Apple!
	Exactly.
	Ah.
	Well, good.
	I'm glad you got distracted by that.
	I learned something.
	I learned about the War of 1812 and that it was a little more than just what you said, which would be the popular explanation.
	But the Indian tribe thing was new to me.
	Well, believe me, the 1812 explanation I gave is new to most people.
	Yeah, that's the sad thing.
	The millennials.
	That's the sad thing.
	All right, so I've got a little side thing here.
	All right.
	Go off the track.
	By the way, I'm glad we beat them, the Canadians.
	Now, you have tried to get voiceover work.
	Yeah, many, many times.
	Now, you can kind of spot a gay voice.
	Yeah, it doesn't mean the person who's speaking is gay, but yeah.
	Yeah, but it's a gay voice.
	It's a lispy, affected style of voice.
	Now, would you think that you would take a kind of a gay-looking guy who's doing a gay voice, or if you want to go to that, this is stuff that won't be discussed on any sort of mainstream media show.
	Probably because it involves an advertiser.
	And it does involve an advertisement.
	It's Case McDonald's.
	And I was listening to this guy.
	Actually, when you see him, you don't hear the gayness of his voice so much as when you hear him talk.
	And it's that stereotype gay with a slight lisp.
	Are you going to do this on International Homophobia and Transphobia Day?
	Don't you think it's the time to do it?
	I think it's the perfect time to do it.
	And the reason I'm doing it is because why can't you get work as a voiceover guy if this guy can't?
	Hi, I'm Max.
	McDonald's asked me to remind you that their new sirloin third pound burger won't be around long.
	If you miss out, you'll never know how delicious 100% sirloin tastes.
	That'd be a gosh darn shame.
	So try a sirloin third pound burger before they're gone.
	Hashtag no regrets.
	Hashtag sirloin.
	100% North American sirloin.
	100% limited.
	Try all three sirloin third pound burgers at McDonald's.
	Enjoy this lovin' while it lasts.
	I don't think it sounded that gay.
	It sounds gay.
	But this is exactly, you're so right.
	But the hashtag, sirloin, give me a break, who the heck, and say, now we have to, I don't know anybody who hasn't had ground sirloin once in their life.
	It's just hamburger.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's hamburger.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Ground sirloin.
	It's a different part of the animal.
	Most of the hamburgers are just a mix of everything.
	Doubtful it's all sirloin, but okay.
	That would be a pretty expensive burger.
	What would be?
	I did...
	Sirloin is not an expensive cut.
	The filet is an expensive cut.
	The sirloin is just plain sirloin can be cheap.
	But back to the gay.
	You're just angry that I can't get work and the gay guy can.
	Is that what you're saying?
	He has a lisp.
	I don't care whether he's gay or not.
	He could be straight as an arrow.
	But he has a lisp.
	And it's distinctive.
	And you can hear it in there.
	And I guarantee you that the briefing for people auditioning said, we want hip modern guy, not too announcer-y, yet determined.
	And that's what you get.
	I did one, though.
	I did a voiceover.
	I'm not paid for.
	I did a public service announcement, which will run in...
	Oh, you have it?
	I don't have the produced...
	I have my voiceover, not the produced spot.
	You want to hear it?
	Field Day is when amateur radio operators all over the country use alternative power in order to practice emergency communications.
	It's also a chance for us to show the community what we do and give anyone the chance to try out amateur radio for themselves.
	This year's Ski Country Amateur Radio Club will be operating from Missouri Heights just east of El Jebel on June 27th starting at noon.
	Join us and discover ham radio for yourself.
	Visit k0rv.wordpress.com for directions and more information.
	Doesn't that make you want to become a ham radio operator right there?
	That's a natural voice.
	Do you have the script around you?
	What?
	The script that I just read?
	Yeah.
	No?
	No.
	Why?
	You want to read it?
	No, I want you to read it again.
	No, we have other things.
	A little lisp.
	We have other things to do.
	Just a little bit.
	Not a big one, just a little bit.
	We have other things to do.
	As predicted.
	You're like, you know what?
	You're no fun.
	Alright, go on.
	We're eight years in and you finally figured it out?
	You're no fun.
	I'm no fun.
	Charniff.
	Jokar Charniff.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Sentence to death.
	You got this.
	Yeah.
	Good.
	Now, this is the only.
	I think this is a screw up.
	No, I disagree.
	This is exactly what was meant to happen.
	He's not going to get executed.
	No, he's not.
	Here is an analysis from a lawyer, I think, on CNBC, which is right in line with what we were talking about.
	As you recall, his attorney, whose entire career is based on getting people off death row, and the way you do that is not...
	They dropped a ball on the actual case.
	No, no, no.
	Listen, this is a legal analysis.
	He could deny the act, in which case not only was there overwhelming evidence of guilt, but a jury would see that he was clearly unremorseful and was trying to deny responsibility for which punishment would have been certain.
	At least this way, she's going for mitigation right from the beginning, saying, okay, we're not contesting that he did the act, but you have to understand the context in which this occurred and what was going through his mind at the time.
	You know, realistically, we could be talking about 10 years.
	And I think that was part of Judy Clark's, you know, argument is that at least if you put this guy at supermax for the rest of his life, punishment is certain.
	And if you go out, if you sentence him to death and you're looking at direct appeals, you're looking at appeals to the Supreme Court, you're looking at writs of habeas corpus, and these things take several years each.
	And so, if he's ever put to death, we could be talking about 10 years from now, or there could be a reversal of either the guilt, innocence, or punishment stage, and the whole thing starts over again.
	Ron is right on track.
	It's exactly what is supposed to happen.
	Okay, you're right.
	This is pretty much what we predicted.
	And she'll have work for years.
	It's pro bono, but that doesn't matter.
	If she can get this guy not killed, can you imagine how many people she can be representing?
	It'll be forgotten in about five years, and then they'll let the guy go.
	Maybe, maybe, if we find that video that they promised us that existed of him putting the actual backpack into the trash can, which was what the entire prosecution's case was initially based upon, then maybe, maybe, maybe.
	Well, they did have that video.
	No, they didn't.
	They did.
	I heard that they had it.
	I don't think they have it.
	I've heard that they had it.
	I've heard that because they said they had it.
	They said they had it.
	I know.
	The governor saw it.
	I know.
	The governor of Massachusetts said he saw it.
	No, no.
	He said he saw it.
	That's right.
	You're right.
	That's right.
	He didn't see it either for some reason.
	In fact, I don't think we've ever heard from anyone who actually said they saw it.
	They just know that somebody saw it.
	Well, by the time they said that somebody had seen it and had talked about it, then there were all kinds of reenactments and documentaries where it actually said in the bottom corner, reenactment.
	Here's the Massachusetts governor just to remind everybody of the lie.
	Is there anything on the videotape that maybe the public hasn't seen about his reaction that was particularly telling that movie investigation along?
	Well, the videotape is not something I've seen.
	It's been described to me in my briefings.
	But it does seem to be pretty clear that this suspect took the backpack off Put it down, did not react when the first explosion went off, and then moved away from the backpack in time for the second explosion.
	So pretty clear about his involvement and pretty chilling, frankly.
	Chilling!
	Chilling, but chilling.
	How come he didn't ask to see it?
	Because it's national security.
	Well, no, they could tell him about it.
	They told him about it.
	They described it to him.
	Why didn't he say, I would like to see it?
	I'm sure he did, but it was not appropriate because it was, you know...
	Who saw it?
	Who specifically saw it?
	Shut up, slave!
	Yeah, that's what I thought.
	After our discussion, you're kind of off the wall.
	I won't even say it's a theory, but you said maybe this train derailment was related to the 30th anniversary of the MOVE bombing, which I had not heard of.
	None of my peers had heard of it, but I did receive a number of recommendations to watch the documentary Let the Fire Burn.
	Yeah, it's a new documentary on the Move.
	It came out in 2013.
	It's relatively new.
	It's a 30-year-old event.
	It's really outstanding to watch.
	I haven't seen the documentary.
	I've heard good things about it.
	Yeah, and Move is still active.
	They have onamove.com, where they still are trying to obtain the release of Move members who at the time were convicted and thrown in jail for 30 to 100 years, some of them.
	I just wanted to say that it's something you should take a look at.
	It's really...
	I hope our movie guys put it on their list.
	It's creepy.
	It's totally creepy.
	And what it said to me, because there's quite a bit of background about what the MOVE organization was, which they called it an organization, and the authorities called it a cult...
	But they really were just about growing their own food and not giving kids technical gadgets to play with.
	Some locals call it the Black Amish.
	Yeah, in a way.
	And they apparently made a fuss wherever they were, too, which is annoying to the neighbors.
	Yeah, they had a big loudspeaker, and they would have expletives shooting out of the loudspeaker when cops would be...
	Tourette's.
	Yeah, I'm going to start a new movement, the Tourette's organization.
	Fuck you, pigs!
	Yeah, I can't wait.
	But just a tip, very, very, and sure, it's like an hour and 20 minutes, maybe even less.
	It's a great, great documentary.
	It's on Netflix.
	Well worth the price of admission.
	Netflix has a lot of good documentaries.
	That's their main business.
	I think that's wise.
	People love documentaries when they start getting into them.
	Yeah, and you get recommendations of other documentaries.
	Yeah, it's good.
	I agree, it's really good.
	So, Hollande, our buddy in France, he decided to take a run into the carriage.
	I saw this, yeah.
	So, first he goes to Cuba, and then he puts his foot in Haiti and gets himself into trouble.
	But in Cuba, I thought it was interesting.
	I don't have much on that, but he's warming up.
	He's shaking hands with Fidel and his brother, Raul.
	And these guys, you know, we've opened the door here.
	Everyone's going to flock into Cuba.
	This is a time to invest in this place.
	The Canadians have been doing it for years.
	They're the ones that are going to be the big winners when all is said and done.
	Time to send some engines their way.
	Play what's going on with Hollande.
	This is just a funny clip.
	This is Hollande slavery in Haiti, Cuba.
	The background of this is that, and we have talked about this, I'm a big Haiti fan.
	It's kind of covered in here.
	France.
	The French president Francois Hollande in fact becoming the first French president ever to visit Cuba as part of his tour to the Caribbean.
	Now his aim to get in early as the defrosting of relations between the US and Cuba continues.
	Whilst there he met Raoul and Fidel Castro.
	Business deals very much to the fore.
	After his visit to Cuba he continued with a visit to Haiti.
	Francois Hollande's fall on the red carpet wasn't his biggest faux pas in the Caribbean islands.
	Inaugurating the world's biggest slavery memorial on the French island of Guadalupe.
	He fell on his ass, by the way.
	Face palm?
	Face plant?
	I don't think he hit his face, but he fell off.
	He was walking up to this red carpet and it slipped and just fell right down.
	Oh, is there video?
	Yeah.
	I'll look for this video.
	Cool.
	But loop, the French president made controversial statements about the debt his country owes Haiti.
	Right.
	I will settle our debt when I go to Haiti.
	The crowd applauded, but minutes later the French presidential palace issued a rectifying statement.
	It said Hollande was not referring to money France owed Haiti, but to a moral debt due to slavery.
	Yeah, he put his foot in that one.
	Olan was unfamiliar with the history.
	Probably.
	And so he said this stupid thing, and now the part two explains it in greater detail.
	But it's hilarious because now it's opened up a huge can of worms they can't get out of.
	In 1804, slaves in Haiti defeated Napoleon's soldiers and expelled French slave owners.
	Twenty years later, France said it would recognize Haiti as an independent country, but only if it reimburses slave owners of their lost properties.
	In the 1825 French decree, King Charles X recognizes Haiti's independence if it paid 150 million gold francs.
	In the 19th century, Haiti paid 120 million gold francs, the equivalent of 17 billion euros today.
	It's represented at the time 10 times its annual public revenue.
	For those who say France has to reimburse Haiti, the debt was legally and morally unjustified.
	That's why when President Hollande arrived in the country, people shouted restitution, reparations, yes to money, no to moral debt.
	But President Martelly says it's unrealistic to go back on an international agreement sealed 200 years ago.
	If France helps us to offer education to almost all Haitians, it would be worth more than any figure.
	An opinion President Hollande shares.
	He's offering a 50 million euro program for education, saying...
	What exactly is...
	50 million, not 17 billion.
	Yeah, big difference.
	Yeah.
	What is the definition of moral debt?
	What does that even mean?
	Moral debt?
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	I'm not really sure.
	I think you can probably extrapolate what it might mean.
	I have a video.
	He's walking up the steps to the podium and he slips and he falls forward.
	I like that when it happens.
	I always like it.
	It always humanizes these people.
	I like that a lot.
	Everybody should do that.
	It's like the models in the Miss America show fall off their heels.
	It's hilarious.
	There's that.
	Oh yeah, I wonder, when the FCC came out with a net neutrality ruling, there was another ruling they came out with simultaneously, which of course was not discussed, and this is the JSAs, the Joint Sales Agreements.
	And this goes back to what we were talking about at the beginning of the show about local news.
	And what the FCC has determined with their set of rules is that joint sales agreements will be severely limited.
	Now, the way this works...
	not be able to own multiple more than was it two two television stations one newspaper there's all kinds of guidelines for what you as an owner can can operate in a in a market many of the local stations use joint sales agreements with competitors often in order to get pieces of the media by and It actually is worse than that.
	Even with the newspapers, it's a JOA, they call it.
	And it's a joint operating agreement.
	They have...
	I think it was the Nixon administration.
	It was getting apparent that American newspapers were not going to survive against the onslaught, not of the internet, but of television and radio, which were covering news better.
	And it was more newsy because they could stop the story.
	And so all the newspapers somehow managed to get these JOAs in place so they would share revenues.
	They would share everything.
	And every town had two newspapers because all we needed is competitive newspapers.
	And what you ended up with, like in San Francisco, you had the Examiner in the morning.
	It was a morning paper.
	And then you had the Chronicle in the afternoon.
	And people stopped reading the afternoon papers all over the country.
	It broke most of them because...
	Who wants a newspaper in the afternoon?
	You can just turn on the television to get the same thing.
	So the afternoon newspapers were all suffering, but for some reason the government felt, and I think these newspapers felt, they always should exist.
	But we can't just have one newspaper in one market, because that would be terrible.
	And so they made these JOAs, and the weak sister of the newspapers, in this case it was the Examiner, would get half of the profits of the other newspaper.
	Oh, that's really operating.
	This is purely on ad sales.
	I think it always ends up on ad sales anyway.
	I don't know if the subscriber money got split.
	But it ruined the newspaper.
	Now these guys not only had...
	They didn't have any reason to compete.
	So they started writing about food and wine and personal interest.
	That's when your career started, apparently.
	Yeah!
	Well, the FCC is trying to combine the duopoly rule, which is about the eight voices test for local broadcast stations, but is already putting local stations out of business.
	They just can't afford to have the sales force on the street and certainly not getting national advertising.
	And if you look at the makeup of obviously just look at the FCC in general and who's steering the ship, this to me is a very blatant attempt to screw all local news reporting into oblivion.
	Just get it out of there and have it all revert to cable news or networks, I guess.
	And it's and this is.
	It's interesting.
	Well, the whole thing has been interesting all along, and it's just ruining it for everybody.
	We have a dumbed-down public, combined with the educational system that doesn't care about any of this stuff.
	It just wants kids to have high self-esteem.
	And we want to have kids eating bugs.
	Eating bugs and saying Heil Apple.
	Here is the latest in kind of reverse psychology move.
	You're looking at a picture of bugs and the broccoli of a student who almost ate them at Caney Creek High School in Conroe.
	It was kind of strange and gross that we had actually seen it and that it happened to us.
	Fallon Evans says she was sitting next to her friend at lunch in the cafeteria at Caney Creek Monday.
	Just as the friend was about to take a bite of the broccoli, they noticed the bugs.
	The family says they were told the insects were aphids.
	And there's no way.
	What is that, aphids?
	What is that?
	Aphids are these little white bugs.
	They're very small.
	They fly around and they kind of sap the strengths because they exist in the billions and they sap the strengths of plants.
	But they're small.
	They're small.
	Very small.
	Or aphids.
	And there's no way they could have missed...
	Picking up a handful of broccoli like they do with their gloves on and not seeing these ginormous bugs.
	Oh, my favorite word.
	A ginormous bug is not an aphid.
	Ginormous bugs, I tell you.
	In an email to parents, school administrators said they were notified this morning of complaints regarding food in the cafeteria.
	Any concerns are taken very seriously and Conroe ISD's Child Nutrition Department is addressing the situation.
	Inspectors did go to the cafeteria this morning, and they did find more bugs in that frozen batch of broccoli, but they did dispose of the broccoli, and they believe that the infestation was limited to that frozen batch of broccoli.
	The bugs.
	They got the bugs.
	And I'm seeing it now everywhere.
	People, this is the new mac and cheese.
	In fact, here it is, exoprotein.com, E-X-O-P-R-O-T-E-I-N, exoprotein, right there on the homepage.
	It says, and I think they stole this from you, Crickets are the new kale!
	That's right!
	Crickets are the new kale, everybody!
	I love bugs!
	Bugs, bugs, bugs!
	Sounds like the pervert singing that song.
	I'm seeing packages of crickets, cricket flour.
	Oh, yum.
	It's not going to stop.
	Bugs.
	It's a great source of protein.
	Just like kale is a great source of vitamin K. Great source of something like that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Just eat gum.
	Love it.
	Yeah, the bug thing is going to continue.
	I had some thoughts about it, but I can't think of what they were talking about with the kids in school eating.
	Oh, yeah, I got my career at my start in journalism because I was in high school.
	Because of bugs?
	I think so.
	Mm-hmm.
	And we're doing it.
	I got to be one of the editors of the, or I guess I was the investigative reporter for the newspaper.
	If you were just guessing you were that, you might not have been the investigator.
	I don't remember what I was.
	Because everyone just kind of did what you did.
	But I was the guy who was going to make the paper get better circ.
	Right.
	So I found a, they used to make sandwiches in the cafeteria, and they would put the sandwich in some device, and it would seal it.
	So it was like a little electrical thing, and it would seal in some plastic.
	And in one of the sandwiches, there was a fly just sealed right there at the top of the sandwiches.
	And so we took photos of this fly and we ran a big front page headline.
	On the newspaper.
	Fly and sandwich and cafeteria sandwich.
	And with the big photo right in the front page and the arrow.
	And they shut the paper down because of this and scolded us.
	Really?
	Yeah, and then they resumed publication like a couple weeks later.
	And what school was this?
	This was Newark High School.
	Which has since been moved, it's not even the same place anymore.
	But, yeah.
	Yeah, it was a big scandal.
	Well, we're not eating bugs yet, but we're not far off.
	I'm going to show myself the mood by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	In the morning.
	We have a few people to thank for show 722, starting with Zachary Gilbrek in Cordova, Tennessee.
	One, two, three, four, five, one of my favorite donations.
	Anything that goes like that would be a favorite of mine.
	No, of course.
	Ryan Ferguson, Foothill Ranch, California, $100.
	Thomas Gaskin, Parts Unknown, $100.
	Peter McConnell, Stockholm, New Jersey, $100.
	By the way, if anyone sent a check in, I have not picked checks up for a while because I was not around.
	Peter McConnell in Stockholm, New Jersey.
	He's actually not in Stockholm, New Jersey.
	If you read his little notes, he says, Greetings from Suzhou, China.
	Nice!
	I would not...
	I would be remiss if I did not thank producer Stephen McConnell for the Fletcher donation to the podcast and the ensuing McConnell shout, which is funny.
	You got the freebie.
	Freebie!
	I'm honest and humbled to share the surname with such a stalwart supporter of the show.
	Oh, that's nice.
	McConnell!
	He says, my wife's green card applications have been effectively stalled because of the State Department's unusable website.
	Oh, yeah.
	We cannot literally pay the remaining fee and therefore cannot continue the process.
	I think we might be stuck in China forever.
	So D.H. Slammer, $100.
	Arthur Thompson in San Jose, California, $100.
	Wayne Lacombe in Sunnybank Hills, Queensland, Australia, $100.
	Kevin McLaughlin in Locust, North Carolina.
	Very funny name for a place.
	273, 73, 73, 73.
	Yep, 73s.
	James Gawkel in California City, California, which I've commented on before.
	It's kind of some renamed town in the middle of nowhere.
	$16.16.
	Yeah, and he needs some karma.
	Karma coming up for you.
	Sir Mike Gates in Colorado Springs, $60.01.
	Now he says, I just blow this money on Starbucks, so I decided to give it to you guys instead.
	That's Von Glitchka.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I'm reading ahead.
	You're right.
	That's Von Glitchka in Salem, Oregon, who said that.
	And I think that's not a bad idea.
	It was, I believe...
	That could be a lot of money.
	Well, yeah.
	The coffees are too expensive.
	Yeah.
	It's a scam.
	You should just, you know, buy, you know, some instant coffee and figure out the costs.
	Oh, yum.
	Sir Mike, you know, good instant coffee is not bad.
	If you get the stuff from Mexico, you should get Mexican instant coffee.
	I'm taking it.
	It actually is quite good.
	And the one I like currently is Legal.
	Hmm.
	L-E-G-A-L. Sir Mike Gates in Colorado Springs, Colorado, $60.01.
	I'm sorry, we'll be back to them.
	Donald Kuhl in Wyndham, New Hampshire, $56.78.
	He has a douchebag call-out, I believe.
	Brian Mancuso and David White are douchebags!
	A lot of people don't listen.
	A lot of people don't listen, let's face it.
	A lot of people listen and don't donate, leaving it out to us regulars to foot the bill.
	Douchebags to them all!
	Yes, I say douchebag!
	Okay, so screw the freeloaders.
	Mark Magpeo in Cerritos, California.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	Scott Walder Herr in Madison, Wisconsin.
	I think he's a knight.
	5510.
	Patrick Coble in Fairview, Tennessee.
	Sir Patrick Coble to you.
	5510.
	Been flying around for about a month.
	With his Ducati.
	Did you see that we have our No Agenda guy back on the road on his bike?
	Sir Andrew, yeah.
	With the No Agenda Racing Team.
	I retweeted that picture.
	Me too.
	Me too.
	We are the only, only podcast with a racing team.
	This is true.
	We may be the only alternative news source with a racing team.
	I believe this is absolutely the case.
	Jared Glidewell from Muncie, Pennsylvania.
	Do we have hot babes in the pits?
	I don't know.
	I haven't seen one.
	You should go to a race maybe and find out.
	He's got a birthday call out.
	Sean Carlson, Fresno, California, 5150.
	And then we have our palindrome donors, 5115.
	We got Roger Etsy in Palm Harbor, Florida, and Sir Clark of the Carolinas in Stanley, North Carolina.
	Eric Noll in McDonough, Georgia.
	Eric Brunn in West St.
	Paul, Minnesota.
	Nuts.
	Norman Pearson in Macon, Georgia.
	I've been to Macon, Georgia.
	It's a very fascinating place.
	It's kind of like an old-fashioned place.
	William, I've never seen so many bugs in my life.
	And we love bugs.
	I was thinking about this and putting it into play.
	There was a gas station in Macon, Georgia, and I was late, so the bugs were out, and they had a bunch of these bug lights.
	And they were just sparking away like crazy.
	And there was a foot-high pile.
	Of bugs.
	Of bugs forming a cone.
	And you thought to yourself, breakfast.
	Good eating.
	Breakfast.
	So there's this foot-high pile, maybe two-foot-high pile of a cone-shaped pile of dead bugs that were just from this electrocuter.
	That's my Macon, Georgia anecdote.
	Great, thank you.
	William Young in Lebanon, Tennessee.
	Adam Willis in Washington, D.C. Washington, D.C. Aaron Rush in Avon, South Dakota.
	We want to thank these folks for the 5115 donation.
	David Oliver in San Francisco over here in California.
	Nils Bonnaker in Hamburg, Deutschland.
	Richard Chow in Fullerton, California.
	Matthew Davis in Garden Groves, California.
	Steve Edwards in Somewhere, Ohio.
	W Door Limited, which is two times.
	He's sent in 51, twice.
	He's in Lexington, Kentucky.
	So go buy a door from him.
	He says one for each of us.
	I thought that was kind of nice.
	Let's see.
	Richard Marshall in New York City, 5115.
	Blake Morphus in Warwick, Rhode Island.
	We've got a lot of these.
	Jeff Anderson in Stewart, Florida.
	Carlos Martinez in Brownsville, Texas.

	David Jandrew in Victoria, B.C., best city in the West Coast.
	Jason Stewart in O'Fallon, Missouri.
	Mark Dunford in good old Waco, Texas.
	And finally, Brandon Stewart in Dallas, Texas, along with Rath Camp Drums, LLC in Rippon, Wisconsin.
	We have a birthday shout-out for Brandon, too, by the way.
	It's coming up.
	Yeah, I got it all on the list.
	For two, do you have both of them on there, Brandon and Cynthia?
	Let me double-check, I'm pretty sure.
	Hold on.
	Cynthia Ebran and Cynthia, yeah.
	And finally, $50 donors from Paul Rudkin in Shanghai, China.
	Hello, China!
	Hello!
	Bifaloptopus in Bay City, Michigan.
	Yusuf Hagazi in Westland, Michigan.
	Joel Deruen in Savannah, Georgia.
	Matthew Mungen in Baltimore, Maryland.
	Donald Gauguin.
	Gauguin?
	Gauguin?
	Gauguin.
	In Westminster, Massachusetts.
	Jeffrey, this is another, this is a guy who lives in Hellevoorts.
	Hellevoortsluis.
	Hellevoortsluts.
	Exactly.
	Hell of a food sluts.
	Jeffrey Lenches.
	Come on.
	You can do better than that.
	Jeffrey Lenches.
	Lenches.
	That's close.
	David McClain in Cuba, Missouri.
	Rosalind Furness in Turnbridge Wells.
	Kent.
	Amitav Hajra in Daleville, Virginia.
	John Camp in Antlers, Oklahoma.
	Another great name for a town.
	Scott Lavender in Montgomery, Texas.
	Great name for a guy.
	Heather Fucinari in Santa Ana, California.
	Sir Chris Lewinsky in Sherwood Park, Alberta.
	Patrick Thomas in, whoops, just jumped.
	Petworth, West Sussex.
	And finally, Eric Dunn in Flint, Michigan, as well as Jerome Ross in Gwynn Oak, Maryland.
	I want to thank all these folks for helping us get over the top here on show 722.
	And based upon your newsletter that you sent out, we had a couple of recommendations, a couple of people I wanted to highlight.
	First of all, a recommendation I thought was interesting is a number of people said, you know what, you should go off the air for two weeks.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I wonder how far we'd have to...
	This is like a bad idea.
	Yeah, I was thinking like, yeah, I have rent to pay.
	This is also called dead air.
	Never a good idea.
	No, I don't think...
	We do take one or two shows off a year, but I... Yeah, but we've filled.
	They're filled with something so people can listen to them.
	Let me see.
	This is from...
	Actually, I wonder if this was really a true suggestion.
	Hey, I got an idea for you guys.
	Just drop the show.
	Yeah, well, the idea was so people would be...
	They would see what it's like to be without us.
	Yeah, yeah.
	That's what we don't want them to see.
	Because they might find others...
	They might find without them.
	Hey, I don't miss those motherfuckers at all!
	I have all this extra time on my hands!
	Precisely.
	John Adam, this is from contributing producer Hiram von der Brink.
	I have added an extra one-time donation of $33.33 to my next monthly subscription of $11.11.
	And from time to time, I will keep posting extra donations when I can.
	Thank you for producing the show, lighting up my commute, or when I'm gardening with humor and insight.
	Thank you for your courage.
	And another one, this is from Josh.
	I've canceled my $5 PayPal monthly subscription and started one for $10 a month.
	Pretty sure this is going to make tracking my lame-ass accounting more difficult, but that's fine.
	I'm not making night anytime soon, unfortunately.
	I can't drop executive producer money on you guys, but at least I'm throwing in something.
	No reason to change the show.
	People are just being cheap.
	I want to call out every listener that doesn't have a monthly payment set up as douchebags.
	I don't care if you're a knight, baron, or grand duke.
	If you don't have a monthly payment set up for at least five bucks a month, you're doing it wrong.
	Thank you for your courage, he says.
	I thought it was very nice.
	I thought so.
	It was very nice.
	I appreciate that.
	Some people just can't afford to push themselves to the big mind, but they give.
	They help.
	They're part of the No Agenda family.
	And the family is vast.
	People always ask me, how many people are listening?
	I say, I don't know.
	We have no idea.
	We can tell how many people are in the chat room.
	That's about it.
	That's it.
	And how many people open the newsletter.
	Yeah, you can do that too.
	Unless we have some severe system of logging in, there's no way you can track who's listening or not.
	And quite honestly, it doesn't really matter as long as we...
	There's something to start a technology.
	This is a business we should get some of our techies, some of our...
	Dude's named Ben.
	Start thinking and find some way of tracking and actually doing a Nielsen on the podcast.
	It's not possible.
	It's got to be.
	No, it's not.
	Look, we don't even know who's watching television.
	The Nielsen that you said it.
	Nielsen says this is the number.
	Everybody believes it.
	It's a belief system, not a tracking system.
	It's actually a religion.
	Yeah, I'd say that's exactly what it is.
	Dvorak.org slash N-A. A little bit of jobs karma for everybody who needs it.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Woo!
	All right, everybody.
	That was weird.
	Evan Stewart says happy birthday to his son, Klaus Travis, turned 16.
	Norman Pearson, happy birthday to Jason Lewis of Macon, Georgia.
	Brandon and Cynthia Stewart, turning 32 and 30 respectively on May 21st.
	Jared Gladwell says happy birthday to Muppet Ben Fauzi, who celebrated on the 15th.
	And Sir David Fugazato says happy birthday to his wife, Melody.
	She'll be celebrating on the 19th of May.
	Happy birthday from all your buddies here at The Best Podcast in the Universe.
	And that includes...
	Eric the Shill.
	Happy birthday, Eric.
	Happy birthday, yeah!
	When is he celebrating?
	He didn't put it on the list.
	Ah, so nice.
	And just to show you care, you said, hey man, put him on the list.
	That was nice.
	Well, he should put himself on the list.
	Yeah, he's shy that way.
	We have one nighting today.
	Woo!
	David Fukuzotto, come on up to the podium, my friend.
	Thank you very much for your support of the best podcast in the universe in the amount of $1,000 or more.
	That entitles you, sir, to become a knight of the Noagenda Roundtable.
	And I hereby pronounce the KD, Sir Dave, Dr.
	Viv, and for you...
	As requested, we have pork ribs and pale ale, hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay, Johnny Walker green label, video games and vaporizers, puppies and tailored vintage pork, vodka and vanilla, bong hits and bourbon, and always mutton and mead.
	Go to noagendanation.com slash rings.
	Input all your info.
	Eric wanted me to say that you do not get a confirmation automatically, but unless there's something that he needs, oftentimes people forget their address, strangely enough.
	Just fill out the form properly, and he will ship it off to you ASAP. And thank you, everybody, for keeping us going on the show.
	Another show on Thursday.
	Same No Agenda station and time.
	Yes.
	Contact your internet provider.
	Please do.
	Eh, I thought this was rather interesting.
	It's kind of second half of the show stuff, but not really.
	Well, we're at the second half of the show.
	Yeah, I know, but it's funnier when it's...
	When something's a conspiracy, it's funnier than when, you know, actual scientists talk about something.
	It gets a little annoying.
	I don't know if it's really second half of the show.
	It just got to do with flying saucers?
	Eh, not entirely.
	We'll do it anyway.
	So not worth it, really.
	All right!
	Yeah!
	There has been an appeal sent to the United Nations on behalf of a number of scientists, and this is regarding electromagnetic field exposure, primarily from Wi-Fi devices and cell phones, or smartphones, I guess you would say.
	And we've talked about this, and certainly early on in the show, when 4G was just getting rolled, even 3G maybe, but certainly 4G, that there was no real conclusive studies that had been done about what this EMF that there was no real conclusive studies that had been done about what this EMF can
	And the conspiracy, completely written off as a conspiracy theory, is that this radiation, specifically from third or fourth generation cell phone technology and Wi-Fi, is affecting our DNA.
	Do you recall any of that?
	Of course.
	Correct pots.
	Radio waves going through us 24-7 no matter where we live.
	Why would this be any different?
	This is a professor from the Department of Physiology and Cellular Biophysics at Columbia University.
	I'd say Columbia University is a reputable outfit.
	Well known!
	Despite, you know, Obama going there, but otherwise reputable outfit.
	And they have, over a hundred scientists have sent in a petition to the United States, United Nates, United Nations and the World Health Organization.
	And I have a clip!
	Cell phones, tablets, Wi-Fi, etc.
	Putting it bluntly, they are damaging the living cells in our bodies and killing many of us prematurely.
	I'm Dr.
	Martin Blank from the Department of Physiology and Cellular Biophysics at Columbia University.
	I am also a member of the Hair Club for Men.
	It is distressing for me and more than 160 colleagues who today are petitioning the United Nations requesting that they address this problem.
	We are scientists and engineers, and I am here to tell you we have created something that is harming us, and it is getting out of control.
	Before Edison's light bulb, there was very little electromagnetic radiation in our environment.
	The levels today are very many times higher than natural background levels and are growing rapidly because of all the new devices that emit this radiation.
	We are putting cellular antennas on residential buildings and on top of hospitals where people are trying to get well.
	Wireless utility meters and cell towers are blanketing our neighborhoods with radiation.
	It's particularly frightening that radiation from our telecommunication and powerline technology is damaging the DNA in our cells.
	It is clear to many biologists that this can account for the rising cancer rates.
	Future generations, our children, are at risk.
	The biological facts are being ignored and as a result the safety limits are much too high.
	They are not protective.
	More protection will probably result from full disclosure of possible conflicts of interest between regulators and industry.
	Rising exposure to electromagnetic radiation is a global problem.
	The World Health Organization and international standard-setting bodies are not acting to protect the public's health and well-being.
	Although we are still in the midst of a great technological transformation, the time to deal with the harmful biological and health effects is long overdue.
	We are really all part of a large biological experiment without our informed consent.
	Yeah, you'll see a lot of that reported on the news.
	You'll see nothing of that reported on the news.
	Why would anybody report that on the news with all these Sprint ads?
	And Apple.
	And Apple.
	Hail Apple.
	Hail Apple.
	Yeah.
	But I feel this is a pretty legit petition they've put in.
	Well, there's an awful lot of cases of brain cancer going around, it seems to me.
	And it's a lot of people in tech and a lot of people who are PR women.
	Well, that'll solve a couple of problems in one.
	It'll solve vocal fry.
	With a phone to their ear 24-7.
	Yak, yak, yak.
	I don't think you necessarily have to have the phone to your ear.
	No, but I think it's close proximity.
	You know, taking a radio transmitter and putting it against your head.
	I mean, you've heard of an RF burn.
	I've actually received a minor RF burn.
	Really?
	From low wattage on the mag loop.
	I have the magnetic loop antenna.
	Oh, yeah?
	Yeah.
	Is that a burn from it?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I was 8 watts, JT65, and I brushed against it, and it wasn't enough to really char the skin, but if I'd left it there for a second longer, it would have.
	And it's highly concentrated.
	Does it hurt?
	It's jarring a little.
	It's like, whoa!
	Well, you think it was 5,000 watts?
	What do you think?
	I couldn't even stand next to it if it was 5,000 watts.
	I wouldn't stand next to it.
	That's also not a legal Get $5,000.
	I think you're up to $10,000.
	No.
	No.
	You should review.
	I need the review, yes.
	I know.
	So I can get my general.
	Yes.
	I am a general.
	Max wattage.
	You're a general?
	I believe one kilowatt, but there are instances where two and a half kilowatts are possible, but it depends on the band.
	The maximum power output is 1500 watts.
	There you go.
	But when you're up there in the high gigahertz frequencies, RF can get a little wiggy.
	That's a fine.
	That's what my parents used to say, wiggy.
	You remember that wiggy?
	Oh, he's wiggy.
	He's wigging out.
	It's wiggy.
	It can be a little screwy.
	Wiggy.
	Wiggy.
	Now, I'm concerned about this.
	I don't want brain cancer.
	That's a day wrecker.
	No, of course not.
	Nobody does.
	That's a day wrecker.
	It's no good.
	But, yeah.
	I thought it was worth mentioning.
	Worth mentioning.
	Yeah, no.
	Hey!
	Amen.
	Precisely.
	It's bad.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	I have more.
	Go ahead.
	Yeah, more.
	Go.
	Hit it.
	Well, I was going to talk about the drone regulations.
	I was doing airplane stuff anyway, and I found a really interesting blog, and I'll post a link to it in the show notes, of a bunch of constitutional lawyers who blog about constitutional issues.
	And one of the issues was that the drone regulations do not adhere to the First Amendment.
	That by itself is not so interesting, but I went into the FAA's Recently released operating and certification of small unmanned aircraft systems.
	And you have to understand that you're pretty much able to do shit with your drone.
	And I was not aware of all of the different regulations.
	I don't even know what you meant by that.
	Drone regulations?
	No.
	The quote, you're not able to do shit with your drone.
	Does that mean you can do...
	You pretty much can't do anything you think is cool with it.
	I'll explain.
	You can't do anything that's okay.
	That's a little better than confusing me.
	So this is for light drones under 55 pounds, which I find to be quite a high limit as is.
	I mean, getting 55 pounds on your noggin would not be nice.
	The operator always has to be in line of sight of the drone, so you can't just fly this thing and view it through your remote camera.
	You can have an observer while you're operating, but you cannot daisy-chain observers.
	So it can only be one observer, and it has to be line of sight, no more than three statute miles.
	And you have to have three statute miles visibility to fly it.
	No higher than 500 feet and never over human beings who are not directly related to the drone operation.
	And that pretty much excludes you from doing anything with your drone except flying it around your house.
	The only exception is Class G airspace.
	You're allowed to go up to 1,500 feet with permission from air traffic control.
	And Class G airspace...
	Well, that actually...
	Class G is up to, I think, 700 within the area of drone and 1,500 just outside of it.
	But it will only be with ATC permission.
	That's pretty much only for testing purposes for drone manufacturers.
	But it turns out...
	There's not going to be any Amazon drones flying around, dropping off your packages.
	None of this will be possible if you go above the 55-pound limit, and they have not even begun to publish what they want on that.
	But then you're kind of in warfare territory.
	Well, I think this is good.
	I agree.
	I'm very happy.
	I'm very annoyed by this whole drone thing.
	Huh.
	Well, that ends this one little company, that Lifey drone.
	What was that?
	That's a cute one that you throw in the air and it follows you around.
	If you have line of sight, it's okay.
	I don't...
	Do you think that thing is real?
	No, I don't...
	I don't know, but they're around here, so I'm going to find out.
	Yeah.
	But for once...
	It's definitely a cool idea.
	For once, I was happy.
	All these people with their drones are so happy and, oh, look, I've got a cool drone.
	I'm like, this is dangerous.
	It's dangerous.
	No, it is dangerous.
	If you ever fly one of the little ones around your house, you'd realize how dangerous it is.
	Well, we both received one, and that's pretty much the only drone I've ever flown.
	Well, that's the one that is...
	It's pretty much a high-end drone in a small package.
	Yes.
	My son knows how to calibrate him, so he got the thing working.
	Yeah.
	You've got to calibrate it before you try to drive it very far.
	Let's see.
	What else you got, Johnny Boy?
	Well, I've got a couple of things.
	You know, there's a bunch of...
	I was thinking about this.
	All the so-called refugee or...
	No, they're not refugees.
	They're tourists.
	The ones coming from Africa?
	Yeah, they're tourists.
	They've finally gotten to the point where they're calling them refugees because the EU wants to take action.
	And one of the things they want to do is they've got all these guys coming over.
	Yes.
	And they're jumping around, going from place to place, and nobody wants them.
	All these refugees from North Africa and Africa and Libya and places like that.
	And so the EU's decided to take a, develop a quota plan.
	So every one of the countries has to take a couple of them, with the French and the Germans taking the most.
	And the Brits don't want them at all.
	They don't want to be part of this.
	No, but the Brits actually have some, but the Brits are exempt from...
	Now, you listen to this report.
	The reason I want to play this is because there's exemptions.
	And why are these countries exempt when the other countries, like Poland, has to take these refugees, play this?
	Well, in Europe, the controversy over migration continues.
	That's right, and a lot of papers are focusing on a blueprint that was put forward by the European Commission for the EU to deal with the migration crisis, and it includes a very controversial plan for national quotas.
	You can see Le Fillejo, the French paper here, calling it an explosive proposal.
	The EU wants to share the burden of processing asylum claims.
	Currently, Italy and Greece are really bearing the brunt of the migrant surge in their Struggling to cope, so the Commission essentially wants other EU countries to pull their weight by accepting these quotas of refugees.
	The plan is to bring 200,000 refugees to Europe in the next two years.
	Now, Libération, other French paper, also focusing on this quota system, solidarity by quotas, but what would it actually mean?
	The quotas would take into consideration the population, wealth, and unemployment rate in each EU country, so according to To this blueprint, France would absorb 11.9% of migrants to Germany, 15.4%.
	There are some very notable absences under EU law.
	The UK, Ireland, and Denmark would be exempt from this quota plan.
	Under EU law, Ireland, UK, Denmark are exempt.
	From what?
	From the plan, but what other things are they exempt from?
	Well, I know Denmark is trying to be exempt from cash.
	Have you been following this?
	No, not really.
	There's a number of war on cash articles out this week.
	The Denmark, I guess it would be the Danish central bank, National Banken, will be discontinuing the printing of new fiat money in 2016.
	They'll be outsourcing the money.
	That is very unclear if they're going to print much of it.
	They say the reasoning is more and more people are using digital payment systems such as cards, online payments, third-party platforms, and to a certain extent, cryptocurrency.
	And as of this new regulation, 2016, shop owners will be allowed to refuse to accept tenders such as notes and coins.
	And, of course, everybody's all in.
	It makes so much sense.
	Oh, yeah.
	Be all in.
	And along with this comes the...
	This is from Germany.
	Oh, the guy's name is Peter Bolzeman.
	All your money is now controlled by the government.
	Well, they first want to get rid of the 500-euro notes because drug dealers, etc.
	Oh, drug dealers.
	But now in the UK, this is even being floated.
	Who was this?
	This was...
	This is from Norway, right around the corner, from Denmark.
	Not an EU country, of course.
	No.
	But this entire article says, hey, you know, if we really want to And the boom and bust economy, we should ban cash.
	How does that have anything to do with the boom and bust?
	It's a business cycle.
	It's not a cash versus credit cycle.
	But it's a great way to explain to people why you need to take your money away.
	Oh yeah, it's a bullcrap example.
	Well, we're doing it because, let me think, because of the boom and bust, we won't have the problem with economic stability.
	The Danish move could be a key movement in the advent of cashless societies.
	Let me see you read here in the Telegraph.
	And once all money exists only in bank accounts, monitored or even directly controlled by the government, the authorities will be able to encourage us to spend more when the economy slows or spend less when it is overheating.
	That is the rationale.
	How does that work?
	The government will encourage you.
	You will spend more or we will spend it for you.
	There used to be an old saying, there's a commercial going around that uses this old saying, oh, you know, the money won't spend itself.
	Apparently it will.
	That's a Geico commercial, I think.
	Yeah, it is.
	It's a stupid rich commercial.
	It is a cute commercial.
	It caught my attention.
	It caught my attention.
	Here's what I'm thinking, though.
	In today's...
	In many economies, we have...
	Of course, there's always some inflation, so that's where your money becomes less powerful.
	But on the back end, we have negative interest rates, so you may have to pay the bank for having electronic money.
	And of course, it completely eliminates bank runs.
	I think that's probably the number one reason why...
	The apparatus would like this.
	Yeah, what are you going to run the bank for what?
	Just a number on a sheet.
	You're just a number on a balance sheet.
	There's your money.
	You want your money?
	It's right there.
	There it is.
	Now, you know, but you get companies, country, well, companies.
	This is the stupidest idea.
	Any public that would buy into this idea is crazy.
	Well, you remember who the happiest people are on earth.
	The day you're obviously drugged.
	There you go.
	They're so happy.
	They're living up.
	They're going to go, take my cash.
	I don't care.
	I don't need that.
	And now I'm also kind of thinking, well, maybe the whole Bitcoin bonanza and hype had something to do with it.
	To get people really excited about digital money.
	And there is big excitement from a very influential crowd.
	And we're seeing all kinds of investments.
	In fact, my ex-banker from New York friend, he was talking about, I think I mentioned it briefly, this is kind of a hot new business.
	you get a network of professionals with a certain expertise, and you farm that out to companies and people who want to have information, want to have analysis.
	Certainly banks have, you know, everyone's kind of figured out that sell-side analysis, i.e., and I saw this myself when I ran a public company.
	So the underwriter who takes you public, which is a bank, they will put an analyst, and the analyst will write about your company.
	And so you give this, you're pretty much in cahoots with the analyst.
	So he's always writing.
	He's never saying these guys suck and you don't want to invest in them.
	So everybody knows that this type of analysis is rigged, and now these little groups of people are being put together to farm out to people who are very interested in real analysis.
	And the number one, the top analyst being sought right now is Bitcoin experts.
	So, I'm thinking this is, whether it's a coincidental and a nice happenstance, or whether it was set up and hyped accordingly.
	Why don't I get a bunch of flack when I moan about Bitcoin?
	Yeah, I don't care.
	That's what his analyst groups would do.
	Uh-oh, that guy's gonna ruin it for everybody.
	Send him a nasty note.
	Yeah.
	You don't get it, Dvorak.
	I would believe, yeah.
	Quit!
	You're old!
	Yeah, yeah.
	Do you have dementia?
	Hail Apple.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Cashless society is definitely not the way to go.
	But I'm afraid we're going to see Denmark hailed as the top happiest people in the world.
	Yeah, the Danish put up with so much ridiculous taxes.
	Everything's great.
	The way the country is run is so great they're happy.
	Yeah, and they're very happy, and they're happy-go-lucky, and they're going to go cashless, and they're going to stay happy-go-lucky, you know, hey, how you doing?
	And people are, look, look at Denmark.
	I mean, they won't do it with Portugal and its legalization of drugs.
	Nobody holds them up and says, look, look, it works.
	It works fantastic.
	We should all do what they're doing.
	No, but they'll do it with Denmark.
	Selective, you know, oh, there you go.
	They fell for it.
	Come on, I see this.
	The Netherlands, pin only.
	One good market crash and people or something's bank goes under, all their accounts get frozen.
	They can't get their money out because they can't spend it because there's no, you know, just erased.
	Let's erase his wealth.
	He is not complying.
	He's somewhat belligerent.
	Yeah, that's the other thing.
	Let's stop his money.
	You owe money.
	We take it.
	And we see this frequently with PayPal.
	Holding funds for whatever reason.
	Checking on somebody.
	Seeing if it's okay.
	Canceling subscriptions.
	Saying it's our fault.
	These are all things that when you hand someone to money, it's clear.
	It's done.
	So just imagine the government doing it.
	Imagine PayPal as the government.
	Handling all the money.
	But Elon Musk!
	There you go.
	Okay, I got one more clip.
	This I just thought was interesting because I think it's a good idea, kind of, but on the other hand, it's like, well, I don't know.
	Play the San Quentin clip.
	It's a teaser.
	Monday on the 10 o'clock news.
	Raising up to $2 billion or more without any new taxes?
	If you could get through kindergarten, you could figure out this is what we ought to be doing.
	The idea is to sell San Quentin and develop this prime waterfront real estate.
	Hands down, no.
	Nope.
	No.
	Why proponents say now is the time to put the penitentiary on the market.
	And what about all the prisoners?
	San Quentin State Prison.
	Should it stay or should it go?
	Monday on the 10 o'clock news on KTBU Fox 2.
	So there's...
	What are they doing?
	Well, I don't know.
	I have to wait until the 10 o'clock visit to see, sir.
	But as soon as they said it, I said, well, that's the logical thing.
	San Quentin is over here across the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.
	And it's on a tip of, I think it's the town of Tiburon, if I'm not mistaken.
	And it's on the tip of this area that is just kind of grim because this ugly prison is there.
	It's horrible.
	It's old.
	And it's got the towers.
	And every time you go across this bridge, you have to go right past this prison.
	Don't we have a...
	Oh, no, that's Alcatraz.
	I'm sorry.
	Alcatraz is different.
	And you have to go past this giant prison, which is just grim and it's creepy.
	Is it not used?
	Yeah, it's filled with a bunch of criminals.
	Oh, okay.
	That would be a good use for a prison.
	Yes, you do.
	And, you know, most of the prisons they build nowadays are these, they're not built like fortresses.
	They're built with just a lot of wire, barbed wire.
	They're more like a prisoner of war camp, the modern prisons.
	And they're also modern inside.
	They got, you know, regular doors.
	It's a different look because you see a lot of documentaries that go in and out of these prisons.
	San Quentin really should have been torn down years ago, but I never thought about it being developed into some ritzy, you know, place for yuppies.
	Or not yuppies anymore, but whatever the next generation of rich kids are.
	Silicon Valley guys.
	Douchebags.
	Douchebags.
	And I can see it, but it's got to be worth at least $2 billion.
	That property is huge.
	And it's right on the water, overlooking San Francisco and everything.
	It's good money in the bank.
	Yeah, money in the bank.
	Money in the bank printout.
	I just thought that was interesting.
	They might do this.
	I think they will.
	Who the hell needs a prison there?
	Last thing I wanted to mention, I am, of course, following the Eurovision Song Contest.
	Ah, yes.
	You know, this has got to be one of my favorite events.
	And I would like to look at some possible winners.
	As we know, the Eurovision Contest is not based at all on talent.
	That's obvious.
	Politics, as usual.
	And we had correctly identified, I believe, Conchita Wurst.
	And this year, well of course we have Finland, which is the Down Syndrome punk band, as a possible winner.
	Then we have Serbia, and the artist from Serbia is Bojana Staminov, and she is a BBW. You're familiar with this term, I presume?
	A big woman.
	Yeah, big beautiful woman.
	Is she beautiful?
	Yeah, all women are beautiful, John.
	But she's a plus size.
	I would say, you know, the plus size is...
	A double plus?
	Double plus?
	She's a double pluser.
	Single bag or double pluser.
	Then we have Hungry's entry, Boggy, and her song is Wars for Nothing.
	Possible.
	But I'm going to put my money initially, and I have not even seen all of them, because I love watching and listening.
	I think the entry from Armenia has the best shot.
	You want to give us your rationale?
	Armenia, yeah.
	Because they get no love on the genocide.
	So we give them a win.
	Oh.
	Don't you think?
	Well...
	I think Denmark is going to win.
	Because they're cashless?
	No, because the name of their group is the anti-social media.
	Oh, no, it's not.
	Social media.
	No, no, I shall not play that.
	I'm not going to do it.
	It's too much.
	I got to...
	Okay, that actually came from an email, and I win.
	This guy writes in.
	He says, when Adam brings up Eurovision on the next show, he goes on.
	He says, this will crack him up.
	It will make him laugh.
	And I said, I doubt it.
	No.
	No, I'm not cracking up.
	He says, a guaranteed laugh.
	No.
	No.
	Didn't work.
	This is William Eby.
	Eddie.
	Well, you should never, ever accept email from him.
	I was just proving a point.
	Block him.
	Block him.
	Just block him.
	You are blocked.
	Block him, I tell you.
	It didn't work.
	All right, everybody.
	I think you might be right about Armenia.
	That makes sense.
	I think Armenia would be the right call.
	Yes, it's a scam, but you're saying this is a scam.
	Isn't it always?
	Yes.
	Well, happy International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, John C. Dvorak, and coming to you from FEMA Region 6 here in the capital of the Drone Star State in the Crackpot Condo in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I don't know what to tell you.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back on Thursday.
	Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA.
	We'll be right here on No Agenda.
	Boo-choccalaga!
	Boo-choccalaga!
	And by the way, it falls right into my thesis, so hit it.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	And by the way...
	Yes.
	Oh, I agree with that.
	And by the way, while you're mentioning this, you're going to bring up that complaint.
	And by the way, when I went to meet with these, or hung out with them, I actually went to one of the parties.
	So here's what I see happening.
	Johnson got put in, and by the way, he's out in 2016.
	This is a short-term thing.
	This is the biggest load of crap.
	By the way, we have...
	This is why they...
	And by the way, they don't just do it to the Russians, they do it to Americans.
	Because every other news story currently is about some cop...
	By the way...
	By the way, these Uber Sources segments are purely informational and for entertainment purposes.
	All the rest of it.
	And by the way, as he's talking, and by the way, a little side note to this.
	And by the way, I mean, we know that black people hit their children upside the head.
	By the way, officially it doesn't count.
	By the way, if you want to be technical, you could just...
	By the way, this is how great the commercial is.
	And by the way, if you haven't noticed, and I'm sure everyone has, and by the way, I have never seen the inside of the German parliament.
	We know decimation is wrong, by the way.
	Yeah.
	By the way, we rarely talk about show topics after the show.
	And I should mention, by the way, popcorn time.
	Douchebag!
	This is, by the way, not the way to go.
	By the way, it turns out the answer after a used lozenge.
	And by the way, people want to look for good reading.
	And there's a lot of good stuff.
	Oh, by the way, I do have to read something that was a top donor.
	And by the way, these products are now in the cloud.
	By the way, I want to show just to keep people from sending me notes.
	And by the way, chat room.
	Yeah.
	Of course, if we stopped at every performative on this show, we'd never get the show done.
	San Francisco, by the way, has one of the worst, most corrupt, brutal police departments in the United States.
	And by the way, as we know, never marry an actress.
	We have a proclamation that President said, by the way...
	By the way, if you were praising Obama's, you know, peace record...
	By the way, we don't like to use stolen art.
	And by the way, also...
	I caught another fine piece on MSNBC. And by the way, I'm the only person catching it.
	By the way, Norway has ended their blasphemy laws.
	In the meantime, please remember us at...
	Dvorak.org slash NA. Wake up!
	I demand you break your conditioning!
	I'm Joe Biden, and thank you for taking the time to listen.
	Caliphate in Iraq.
	I think I'm gonna crack my pants.
	Adios, mofo.
	The best podcast in the universe!
	Dvorak.org slash N-A Amen.
