	All right, let's start a spy agency and play spy.
	We can all be cool spies.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Sunday, June 28th, 2015.
	Time once again for your Gitmo Nation Media assassination.
	Episode 734.
	This is No Agenda.
	Tasting the rainbow of the new flag and broadcasting live from 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 it's some celebrations going on, I'm John Skorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
	Let me guess.
	Must be some kind of LGBTQIAAP celebration.
	Also in London, there was something going on.
	It all coincides with the Supreme Court decision.
	I know.
	In London...
	Coincidence!
	Yeah, exactly.
	Coincidence?
	I think not!
	I saw a video sent to me from London with American flags, and there was a black guy dressed only in American flag, like hot pants, with an Obama mask on.
	Pretty cool.
	Well, I'm pretty sure that the other Obama has been at play recently.
	I don't know if you saw the eulogy that the president did.
	Yeah, I think you're right.
	I agree.
	They brought out the other guy.
	Yeah, the guy who could sing.
	Well, it wasn't all that great.
	It wasn't all that great.
	No, he wasn't great at all.
	I have a couple clips from the eulogy if you want to start with that.
	Well, I didn't want to, no, but go.
	Well, no, let's do something else.
	We can totally do something else first.
	Well, since we're talking about flags...
	Did you see the story on CNN? Oh, man.
	I was hoping to get a clip of the day, but you know what it is?
	People send us the same...
	I have the same clip.
	I have, yeah, we both...
	But I have...
	Let's do...
	I think we should do this right off, because this...
	Well, I actually have a...
	I put the flag photo on the web, so everyone can look at that while we play the clip.
	I did extra...
	You could get busted for pornography.
	Extra production work is what I did.
	I, uh...
	Let's explain.
	I do have a clip of the woman, the original report.
	Do you have the full report?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it looks like it.
	Because that woman is worth scoffing.
	Well, she's also on Twitter.
	I looked her up on Twitter.
	The woman who came in is the correspondent from England.
	Yeah, CNN International.
	On this clip.
	She's on Twitter.
	She hasn't tweeted anything about this.
	She's getting nothing but grief.
	For good reason.
	I mean, you have a flag.
	Okay, here's the story for people who haven't followed it.
	And let me give the URL out so people can see it.
	ISIS gay flag...
	All one word.
	Isisgayflag.grumpyradio.com Grumpyradio?
	Yeah.
	Dot com?
	Yeah.
	Been using that for a while.
	So they do this report.
	Somebody's walking down the street as a gestalt.
	It's modeled after the ISIS flag, which is a very common flag.
	It's not really anything.
	ISIS just adopted it.
	It's the Oakland Raiders flag.
	It's an Oakland Raiders flag.
	And so they're walking down the street, and the flag, instead of having the Arabic on it, has a bunch of lewd outlines of dildos and butt plugs.
	Yeah, precisely.
	I think mostly butt plugs, to be honest about it.
	Well, I'm looking at it right now.
	I'll see.
	I see dildo, dildo, butt plug, butt plug, butt plug, butt plug.
	Now, here's a combo dildo, butt plug.
	Dildo, butt plug, butt plug, butt plug.
	Yeah, you're right.
	Butt plugs are in.
	Lots of butt plugs.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So someone's preoccupied.
	It's some guy.
	Now, somebody sees this as an ISIS flag.
	I think, by the way, if anybody could be accused of blasphemy, I think they'd ever put this thing together.
	So CNN sees this thing, and they go ballistic because, oh my God, there's a bunch of ISIS people.
	Now the gay movement is all going to be a bunch of terrorists.
	We don't even know what they're thinking.
	Because they bring this idiot woman on who's a correspondent in London.
	I feel sorry for her for being so naive.
	But she sounds like a housefrau.
	She comes on with this thick accent and she's talking about it.
	And then she apparently goes and reports it to the organizers.
	And they say, ah, we don't know anything.
	And then she reports it to the police.
	Now, I think one of these two groups, either the organizers of the police, knew what was going on.
	And they shined her on.
	Mm-hmm.
	Watch this, man.
	This will be funny.
	So you're working for who?
	CNN. Oh, yeah.
	You should report this.
	You should report this on the news because it's horrible.
	Everyone's running home to turn on CNN. They can't wait for this report.
	So I think we should play the clip.
	An unnerving sight today at a London gay pride celebration, an ISIS flag among a sea of rainbow colors.
	CNN International's Simon editor spotted the flag and was able to snap these pictures.
	Joining me on the phone from London is CNN's international Lucy Paul and CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen.
	So, Lucy, I want you to start off explaining and describing what you saw and the reaction to it.
	Hi there, Suzanne.
	Yes, I was just leaving work and I came across the Gay Pride March, an annual event in London where tens of thousands of people march through London.
	It's a very jovial atmosphere.
	Jovial?
	It's gay.
	It's jovial.
	One might say it's a gay atmosphere.
	Happy atmosphere.
	Happy.
	And I was just trying to cross Regent Street, one of the main shopping streets in London, and I had to stop.
	It sounds like I was going shopping on my way home.
	She sounds so elitaire.
	Because the march was going down the street, when all of a sudden, this man, quite distinctive from the rest of the crowd, he was dressed in black and white, whereas everyone else was brightly colored, as you can see from the photos.
	This man dressed in black and white was waving what appears to be a very bad mimicry, but a very clear attempt to mimic the ISIS flag, the black and white flag with the distinctive lettering.
	I mean, if you look at the flag closely, it's clearly not Arabic.
	In fact, it looks like it could be gobbledygook.
	But it's very distinctive, the ISIS flag.
	Anyway, I seem to be the only person who had spotted this.
	And nobody seems to be raising any questions or pointing it out.
	So I immediately went to an event organizer who said he didn't know anything about it.
	I also spoke to the police nearby who weren't aware either.
	Boo!
	Ha ha ha ha.
	ahem Yeah, it was funny.
	It's gobbledygook.
	No, lady.
	It's dildos and butt plugs.
	Gobbledygook.
	No, dildos and butt plugs.
	Very obvious.
	Oh, man.
	Yeah.
	CNN at its best.
	It's fantastic.
	Our show will be on forever if this is the quality of the work they continue to produce.
	I know.
	It's fantastic.
	You gotta love it.
	Wow.
	Yeah, I know.
	Yeah, flag.
	ISIS, please.
	But it's a good gag.
	I mean, the guy had the whole thing going.
	He had the dark outfit.
	The guy had it together.
	As a gag, it's good.
	I like it.
	I am guessing.
	I could predict this and put it in the book, but I'm not going to bother.
	This flag will become commercialized.
	Oh, I sure hope so.
	It should be on t-shirts.
	It's funny.
	Hey man, what are you wearing an ISIS t-shirt for?
	Look again.
	It's definitely insulting.
	Look again, sucker.
	Is that Arabic or is that a dildo?
	Exactly.
	Well, there's some other funny things.
	We definitely need to deconstruct this Supreme Court decision and how it was responded to universally, but also from the White House administration, etc.
	But I did think it was kind of funny how this announcement came down on CNN as I was watching this live.
	This is Ashley Banfield.
	Oh, God.
	I like her.
	She's got the glasses.
	She has that stern look.
	She's always looking...
	Oh, God.
	The librarian.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	The pouting librarian look.
	You have to listen carefully in the beginning, but at the end, it'll be very clear why this was highly inappropriate for CNN's airwaves.
	Oh, God.
	We're still the legal challenges that lie ahead, believe it or not.
	SCOTUS speaks.
	It's not the end of the story.
	Not for some states who still are digging in.
	Because there is the issue, and I'm going to apologize for the language, but it is a pretty excited air out here.
	There is the issue of religious freedom restoration acts state to state.
	Go to break.
	Be right back.
	About fucking time.
	About effing time.
	Oh, God.
	Yeah, I thought that was funny.
	We need more of that, to be honest about it.
	I think these people, they do these on-the-spot stand-ups, which is what they're called.
	They need to be shouted off the streets.
	Well, we have the F or right in the P. Yeah, there's that.
	Which no one did.
	That was...
	But there's just cussing and screaming and giving the finger.
	Do anything you can.
	Get these people off the streets.
	It's annoying.
	The reporters.
	Get the reporters off the streets.
	Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
	Happy to see that ISIS is once again taking the advice of the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group.
	The headline literally reads, ISIS celebrates gay love by tossing four gays from roof of building.
	They finally got it.
	This is what the big deal is all about.
	If you want a group that is marginalized and has the attention and you want reporters, who cares?
	They don't care if you behead reporters.
	I just don't understand the throwing the gays off the building.
	Why not decapitate them?
	I don't get that either.
	What is the difference?
	Maybe it's the gay blood will get on them or something.
	I have no idea.
	That's something they really don't like about it.
	Yeah.
	Throwing them off the roof versus decapitation.
	Why are they making this distinction?
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	It's all bogus as far as I'm concerned.
	I don't think they're doing it at all.
	Alright, there was a lot of response to this in the mainstream media.
	I've just cherry-picked a few.
	Okay, just go on with that because I've got to write something now so I can remember to talk about this.
	Okay.
	This is Franklin Graham, the son of Billy Graham.
	Yes, yes, that's exactly who he is.
	And he's warning what will happen?
	I'm disappointed because our government is recognizing sin.
	This court is endorsing sin.
	And that's what homosexuality is.
	It's a sin against God, just like any other sin.
	I like all his examples.
	Any other sin.
	Etc.
	But for the court to endorse sin, I'm saddened for our country.
	And so we'll have to go by with what the court says.
	But as far as for me, I will never recognize it in my heart because God gave marriage between a man and a woman.
	And that's what marriage is.
	And I don't think the court, since it never defined marriage, it doesn't have the right to redefine it.
	God gave us marriage.
	And that's just it.
	That's period.
	And God does not change his mind.
	I'd ask him a question here.
	If that's the case, why do you have to go to the courthouse to get a marriage license?
	You have to get a license.
	If I want to just go to the church and get married, I don't need a marriage license.
	Why do I have to be licensed?
	Well, this, of course, is the whole issue, is that now at a federal level, you can obtain a license for a same-sex marriage, and it has to be deemed legal in the state that you're in.
	It really has nothing to do with the church.
	What was it that brought this discrepancy out and really explained it well is one of these pundits, which is that Church marriage is one thing, and civil unions, a.k.a.
	a marriage codified by law and involved in it.
	Which is just a term being used for legal contract.
	It's used for legal purposes because you share benefits, health insurance, bereavement, and a lot of things you can get out of it.
	That's different than church marriage.
	I don't know why they just don't separate these two out.
	Well, it's supposed to be separated constitutionally.
	Well, there's that.
	What I think is happening is Christians or the Catholic Church or whoever is having a big problem with this, they probably are seeing the writing on the wall.
	Maybe we'll be forced one day to have this in our club.
	Church is just a club.
	You can do whatever you want in your club.
	You can refuse as far as I'm concerned.
	But I hope people aren't trying to force churches to doing things differently based upon a legal ruling.
	It was a Catholic deacon, Keith Fournier, And I had this ready to play on Thursday.
	I want to play it now.
	So this guy's pretty high up in the structure, and he was very clear.
	And I think, well, this was before the ruling, but he was very clear in the Catholic Church's stance on same-sex marriage.
	I'd like to add to that, not only as a constitutional lawyer, but even more as a Catholic clergyman.
	Hey, he's a constitutional lawyer!
	Another one.
	The Hosanna-Tabor case has protected somewhat.
	That's actually...
	Had you heard of this, the Hosanna-Tabor case?
	No.
	And so I looked this up because he mentions it a couple more times.
	The Hosanna-Tabor case was an equal employment opportunity lawsuit against the Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School.
	And there was a woman who, and it really had nothing to do with sexual orientation, which is why I find it interesting.
	The constitutional lawyer brings it up in this case.
	And it was about her not being able to teach at Sunday school, and she had a meltdown or whatever, a breakdown, and she had to rest for a month, and they hired someone else.
	And, well...
	What this, I think, kind of specious lawsuit boils down to is, did the church have the right to fire her and keep her replacement based on her mental health?
	So somehow that relates to the church's power or to overrule law.
	That's about the best I can make out of it, but it is something that is referred to a lot.
	Some of the challenges we're facing already in terms of hiring and firing in the Catholic Church.
	We certainly discriminate against no one, and we recognize that every single human person has fundamental human rights, including those who are self-professed as gay or lesbian.
	But there is going to be no changing what we have stood for for 2,000 years concerning marriage.
	Right now, we're dealing with struggles based on employing people who are in a purported marriage, men with men, women with women, and we cannot hire them because they are, in fact, violating the fundamental teaching of the Catholic Church.
	Maybe it all comes down to this, John.
	Maybe it's more about equal employment opportunity than it is about definition of marriage and forcefully executing same-sex marriages in the church.
	I think there's an element of that, but I don't think that really is the basis.
	So far, Hosanna Tabor and the precedents that have come from that have given us some protection.
	But there is no question that Matt is correct.
	The police power of the state will follow any ruling that says that we must give an equal treatment legally to homosexual couples.
	Now here's the Catholic Church.
	With a, you know, a real spokeshole for the Catholic Church, constitutional lawyer, saying that the police state follows the rule of law.
	Hello, New World Order.
	Or to lesbian couples as we do to marriage.
	And if we do not do so, we will suffer the punitive implications.
	Now, we face the genuine specter Of the state invading the church and telling us what we can and cannot preach and what our sacraments are about.
	That is a threat to fundamental religious freedom.
	Will there be compulsion for priests or deacons in the Catholic Church, just priests in the Eastern churches?
	To preside over these services.
	Now, our colleague from Americans United says there won't be.
	But we know from the trends of history the police power follows the federal decisions.
	But we will not and cannot Recognize any such thing as marriage between anyone between beside a man and a woman And if the state tries to compel us to do so we must and we will resist But resist we must We must and we will much about that be committed So the church will resist This is not gonna happen It's
	like the fears.
	Oh, they're going to make us do this.
	They don't have to do anything.
	They don't have to.
	Okay, I'm a gay couple.
	By myself, somehow.
	I'm a gay couple, and I want to get married because of all kinds of reasons.
	I'd be loving my partner, or it could be one of the reasons.
	And so I'm either going to go to City Hall and get married there, or I'm going to get married in some private ceremony.
	I'm not going to force myself, Catholic Church, you've got to marry me.
	You're not even a Catholic problem.
	Well, that depends, John.
	This is not going to happen.
	That would depend entirely if your mission was to destroy the church, And or morph it into the church of the religion of science.
	You know, the Catholic Church has a lot of mobsters as members.
	Really?
	I didn't know this.
	And they probably put a stop to that really quickly.
	It's not going to happen.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Two more clips then from the mainstream.
	This is...
	Oh, okay.
	Here we see a nice link made between gay marriage and segregation by some writer, Ron Fournier.
	Is he from the...
	From some, he must be a right-wing guy.
	Let's listen.
	I want to circle back to Huckabee.
	He didn't just call this judicial tyranny.
	He said he's not going to heed this ruling, that it's an unconstitutional ruling.
	Now, this is the guy I covered in Arkansas.
	There's another governor, a former governor, who I ran into a few times in Arkansas, named Orville Faubus.
	Mike Huckabee today sounds just like Orville Faubus.
	It is the Supreme Court.
	Like it or not, switch out civil rights and put in gay rights, and Mike Huckabee is on the wrong side of history.
	He should be ashamed of himself.
	Ooh.
	That's a nice comparison.
	Yeah.
	And then, fine.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And then finally, before I think we should do some analysis on this, is this daughter or granddaughter of Martin Luther King Jr., Alveda King?
	Maybe a daughter, I'm not sure.
	And she just believes God will fix all of this.
	I like her attitude.
	I believe if my granddaddy, Dr.
	Martin Luther King Sr., were here today, he would say, keep looking up.
	That was one of his favorite scriptures, you know.
	And so we have common law, and the Supreme Court has exercised that from their high place of authority.
	And yet God is even higher than the Supreme Court.
	So the verdict is not totally in.
	We're still praying and waiting to hear from God, and that's my position.
	It would be funny if he called in the middle of the broadcast.
	Hello?
	Hello?
	Hello, who's this?
	This is the Great One in the Sky.
	Hello, Great One in the Sky.
	We've been waiting for you.
	I'm here to answer your questions.
	Yes, we're waiting for your guidance.
	Line one.
	What's your question?
	Line one.
	Hi.
	Yeah, I'm waiting for guidance on this whole gay thing, gay marriage in the church.
	Okay.
	What's your other question?
	Can I have a red fire truck for Christmas?
	You have to ask Santa Claus for that.
	We're going to hell.
	We're going to hell for this.
	Well, anyway, any guidance for me, God, before we...
	I know you're a busy guy, and I don't want to...
	I'm too busy for this crap.
	Why are you bothering me?
	Because Velveeta King says we should wait for God.
	Well, God, listen to Velveeta.
	Yeah, you have to see what pastors and preachers across America are going to do.
	So it's going to be a long, hot summer and an interesting year ahead.
	God, will it be an interesting year and a long, hot summer?
	The summer has been predicted to be violent and hot.
	Neil, love and sex are two entirely different things.
	Excuse me, God, could you please explain to me the difference between love and sex?
	Mind your own business.
	You seem really grouchy, God.
	What is going on with this?
	I'm the God of hellfire.
	Fire?
	And so who is anyone to argue about who can love who?
	But sex, procreation, that kind of thing, God has some specific plans for that.
	Excuse me, God, could I ask you what your plans are for loving whomever I want to love?
	Why do you keep annoying me?
	And so I say that love is universal and we should be able to love whomever.
	But there are some guidelines for sexuality.
	God, could you please give me the guidelines for my sexuality?
	I should have never signed with this agency.
	And we're not going to be able to throw that out the window.
	So people have not been taught, not properly educated.
	It's not to be done in a hateful manner.
	So there's a lot of teaching to be done.
	Lagarde, what kind of teaching needs to be done regarding this very hot topic?
	Go to church more often.
	Now you're just stretching.
	And a lot of loving to be done.
	And I believe that God is going to guide us.
	I've been praying more now than I've ever prayed before.
	And so I do want to say that love and sex are two different things.
	And so as we begin to learn that and move forward with compassion, I believe that God is going to surprise us.
	I really do.
	God, are you going to surprise us?
	Yeah, just wait.
	So, God, I have a question.
	If having sex before marriage is a sin, how can it be okay...
	Hey, producer, can we go to line two?
	Hello, God?
	Yeah, I want to do the loose caboose.
	My mama won't let me.
	Are you...
	Are you mocking the black man?
	No.
	My mama said, I can't do the loose caboose.
	Line three, you're on.
	Alright, I'm stopping this.
	But I'm calling a halt to this.
	On constitutional grounds.
	What?
	I said yes, yes.
	Good idea.
	Well, for sure, the No Agenda show.
	I'm sorry to sound like Larry King.
	Quite a bit.
	God and Larry have a lot in common.
	This may actually be closer to the truth than we know.
	I can just call you for anything, I guess.
	I can just call God.
	I think this is a new feature of the show.
	Yes, as long as I have the tube available.
	Well, I was giving you lots of echo.
	You weren't hearing that, probably.
	Oh, good.
	I doubled it.
	Once you used the tube, it was really good.
	Let's just try again.
	Let me just see.
	Hello!
	Hello, God?
	Yes!
	I just wanted to do a mic check with you.
	Mic check!
	How do I sound?
	Do I sound big?
	You sound huge.
	You sound awesome?
	You sound awesome and huge, God.
	I sound awesome and huge!
	Oh, God.
	The thing did a reverb on me that vibrated my ring for some reason.
	Maybe we should stop.
	Was your ring vibrated?
	It's hard to explain.
	You had to be here.
	Yeah.
	Very good, sir.
	Well, I'm glad we heard from God in this.
	And I'm waiting for God to come up with some answers.
	But here, of course...
	During the hot summer, this is the second person, or the second, third, fourth, fifth person who's predicting this hot summer.
	Well, you know, we're almost in the summer, and it's cold here in California.
	Yeah.
	It's been pretty good here in Austin, too.
	It's not bad.
	Okay, so the White House was lit up with the rainbow colors.
	How has Dad done so quick?
	They might have been at the ready.
	You would think.
	Although one of our producers...
	Decision, next thing you know, boom!
	The White House is lit up.
	They sent out emails using the new logo with the gay White House.
	And then they have the gay...
	Wait a minute.
	The gay White House?
	The gay White House.
	What does the gay White House look like with the logo?
	It looks like it's all lit up.
	It's got all the colors.
	It's a colorful little thing.
	And go to the Twitter account.
	You can see it there.
	It's in the newsletter.
	Yes.
	You said, to me...
	That you had a theory about all this.
	I wanted to give you my four possibilities first.
	I had a number of theories.
	The one I'm going to just throw out at the beginning is that this is a preemptive strike to promote gay...
	Just in case Hillary is somehow brought out of the closet.
	Whoa!
	Nice!
	Nice one!
	Well, I had four other theories.
	First of all, and I try to teach myself this.
	This made a lot of people really happy.
	A lot of people were happy about this decision.
	You could see it.
	Oh yeah, no.
	That was a positive thing.
	Very positive.
	And mostly straight people were happy.
	It brings up my cynical comment.
	Now what are they going to bitch about?
	Well, I've thought about this.
	But first, I really have to say that I didn't really want to deconstruct this particular piece because I saw the happiness.
	Mainly my straight friends are all very happy, which is puzzling.
	It's true.
	It is true.
	Everybody's happy because everyone gets this item off the table, for one thing.
	A lot of people are upset by it.
	I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area, so it's like, I'm surprised it took so long for this to come to be.
	But I'm also surprised that the Californians voted against legalizing marijuana, so there's these issues.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Now, number two, of course, is this could be a New World Order population control mechanism.
	You know, let's get more people marrying same-sex, and we'll have...
	The theory might be that there would be less children made, although that doesn't really seem true.
	A lot of couples, gay couples, want to adopt kids.
	I agree.
	That may not be really working.
	That's why I said it's just one possible theory.
	Now, I have to say, in my experience...
	Just my experience, I have two experiences, marriage really messes up good relationships.
	Everything's going along fine, you get married and everything goes to shit.
	That's what it's supposed to do.
	Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.
	So, the result, of course, long-term will be a lot of single, divorced LGBTs with alimony payments, child support payments.
	The alimony payments they have not anticipated.
	Welcome to the party, everybody.
	Woo!
	That little piccadillo has not been anticipated at all.
	Oh, yeah.
	And they will find it to be very distressing.
	Yes.
	Welcome.
	Welcome.
	So, this kind of only resulted in more single people.
	This is fact.
	What's the divorce rate in America?
	47% now?
	High.
	That's an issue.
	Yeah, we need to take a look at that.
	Divorce rate in America.
	Let me see.
	Do we have...
	I think it's like 38, something like that.
	I thought it was 47.
	I don't think it's that high.
	It might be.
	Well, widely quoted 50%, but that's probably a myth.
	That's too much.
	That's too much.
	Well, here's a map.
	The HuffPost has a map.
	Divorce map.
	It's certainly somewhere between 30 and 45%.
	It's high.
	It's high.
	I think I may have it.
	I would say, in my everyone's equal, gays have no leg up on, so to speak, on having better marriages than straights.
	No.
	No way.
	And then finally, of course, I think this...
	It's not that high.
	Okay, here we go.
	Divorces per 1,000 married couples ages 18 to 54.
	If you're Bangladesh, and it is by ethnic group, Bangladeshi 4%.
	Filipino and white seems to be the highest at 29%.
	Okay.
	How about gays?
	They don't have gays on here.
	Well, that's lame.
	Well, they just don't because there's not enough to...
	But will we be able to...
	Can you track it that way?
	I mean, this is tracked by ethnicity.
	Eventually, sure.
	Why not?
	This is tracked by ethnicity.
	No, it's 30...
	Let's just say 30%.
	So will white gays still be divorcing at 30%?
	The highest, there's another chart I found.
	This is an important question.
	Do gays have, I should say, lesbian, gays, bisexual, bicurious, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, allies, asexual and pansexuals.
	Do they have some secret to a better marriage?
	No.
	This is a myth.
	So the only other thing I could think of, which I think made some sense.
	Who did?
	Yeah, we're ready to go on an all-out assault about how Putin hates gays.
	It'll be used for sanctions and all kinds of stuff like that.
	Could be.
	Right?
	I like that.
	Yeah, that was my brain fart last night.
	You know, Putin, boy, there's a bunch of Putin stuff.
	Unfortunately, I don't have clips for this, but there's a bunch of Putin stuff taking place, and he just seems to be behind so many little things that are going on now.
	And he's smirking about them, too.
	Yeah, he figures, you know, he's not a, you know, the Russians aren't stupid, and they're, what's it, the KVH, what is the name of their intelligence group now, KVH, I can't remember.
	FSB. FSB, those guys.
	They're, you know, bad actors, and they can cause the same kind of trouble that the CIA can.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	They always have to be on the lookout.
	We've got Hollywood, you know, it's like, it's hard to beat Hollywood.
	It really is.
	Well, since you mentioned Hollywood, I've got some thoughts on Hollywood.
	If you want to change the topic, I think the transition from gays to Hollywood was like a perfect segue.
	Alright, ladies and gentlemen, time for Hollywood.
	I came to the conclusion there was a hit piece that was done on real sports.
	Is this a channel, Real Sports, or is it a TV show?
	Real Sports with Brian Gumbel.
	Oh, okay.
	There's no commercial, so they can do stuff that you can't do like we do.
	Right.
	You can't do if you have an advertiser, and the network can't do it, because they went after people like Coca-Cola and McDonald's in this piece for supporting Qatar, and there are Olympics that are coming up.
	Oh.
	Wait, Qatar is up for the Olympics as well?
	No, I'm sorry, for the FIFO. Oh, World Cup, yeah.
	Olympics, FIFO. Corrupt here, corrupt there.
	Advertising.
	So, anyone out there who's a would-be journalist, likes studying it, maybe a student, any student out there, if you want to see an outrageous, one of the greatest hit pieces I have ever seen in my life, You have to watch The Real Sports on HBO with Brian Gumbel.
	Finally get a copy of it.
	It's about Qatar, and it's about the corruption, and it's about what a bunch of dickheads they are, and it's just relentless.
	It was done by a guy, and this is all triggered by the following thought.
	Try to follow me here.
	The guy who did the report, I've never seen him on the show before.
	Okay, so he's a shill.
	Well, I don't know what he is, but he's good.
	And this was all triggered by somebody sending me an email saying, hey, do you know they're going to do a movie about the FIFA scandal?
	And isn't it a Brad Pitt production?
	No, Ben Affleck.
	That guy...
	We know how that works.
	He did the...
	What was the big movie?
	Argo.
	Argo, right?
	State Department movie.
	Ben Affleck.
	Okay, let's back up a little bit.
	Yeah, we do.
	We've determined that Ben Affleck, who is married to Jennifer Garner, and if you read the book, Hollywood and the CIA, which I haven't read, they don't specifically say it, but it's been talked about how the show Alias was...
	It was a CIA operation handled by the CIA, or it was controlled by them.
	And Jennifer Garner is in that thing.
	She was a star.
	She's married to Ben Affleck, who directed Argo.
	And the giveaway about Ben Affleck somehow being involved with the agency is that the movie got nominated for Best Movie, and there's a bunch of other nominations.
	Except director.
	Except for director, which is so rare.
	It's like Hollywood said, you know, we know what's going on here.
	The movie's good.
	We'll dominate for best movie.
	But you're not getting any nomination, dude.
	Well, it won best movie, and you recall Michelle Obama was...
	Oh, Argo didn't win best movie.
	Yes, it did.
	You sure?
	I recall...
	Michelle Obama with the Marines and stuff.
	Hold on, let's see.
	Okay, now you got it.
	She said, oh, congratulations.
	23rd.
	10 Dawn.
	Argo takes it home.
	Here you go.
	I thought it was...
	Zero Dark Thirty is what you're thinking?
	Zero Dark Thirty.
	No, here it is.
	It is Ben Affleck, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing.
	I'm sorry.
	Yeah, when's Best Picture?
	He gets Best Picture.
	Yeah, Best Picture.
	He doesn't even get nominated.
	For Director.
	For Best Director.
	Okay, so that tells us something.
	Yeah, Hollywood's saying, okay, we understand this has to win because Uma Abedin set it all up.
	It's the State Department.
	So now he's going to do this...
	Unless you want your funding pulled for your next Transformers movie...
	So I'm figuring, okay, the agency or some intelligence, one of these groups, is behind the entire let's get after FIFA and let's rejigger this thing because we're trying to make soccer popular in America.
	Right.
	And I was noticing this when I was watching some of the sports shows.
	They're constantly trying to make soccer popular in America.
	Right.
	I guess it's for the good of the future, or we're trying to remove the head, you know, there's less head injuries, or football's too complicated.
	Well, just money.
	There's money worldwide, and we have to figure out how to make money here with it.
	We need to own everything.
	We need to own this.
	Yeah, well, we do.
	So they do this hit piece, and I figure that this guy who did the piece, because he says stuff, well, let's start playing.
	I only have five clips.
	It starts with clip five.
	Hmm.
	Let's start...
	First he does the...
	He starts off the piece beautifully structured, by the way.
	I only have a little bit of it.
	It's about 20 minutes.
	It's so beautifully structured, he starts off soft.
	And he's talking about how Cutter, Qatar, which is either way...
	Won, like, the weightlifting championships by appropriating or buying the entire Bulgarian weightlifting team, renaming all the people with Arab names.
	And if I recall correctly, Russia was...
	No, it wasn't Russia.
	It was...
	Shoot, what country was supposed to get that?
	Go finish your thought and I'll look this up.
	Anyway, so they brought all these Bulgarians in, and then they win.
	But the Bulgarians, they interviewed these guys, they're laughing about their new names and all this stuff.
	And they also brought in...
	A bunch of Ethiopian long-distance runners changed their names to some crazy Arab names and then had them go out and compete.
	And they've been doing this.
	They've been buying.
	They don't have anybody in Qatar.
	If you look at the people that keep showing up, there's a lot of very attractive women and very fat guys with bad teeth.
	It's the generalized.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Nice.
	So they don't really have any athletes.
	They don't really do much, and they don't like to work.
	So they have a slave labor system, which is what's being discussed mostly in this piece, and they discuss how these people are slaves, and they're being worked to death.
	Chefs!
	Slave.
	And they can't leave the country, and they're all from Nepal and India, and they don't know what else to do.
	That's where we get all our slaves.
	And they don't pay them half the time.
	They don't pay them.
	Just feed them.
	Great, great peace.
	So let's start with part five.
	We're into it already.
	The guy, this guy, this...
	This guy who I believe, he's good.
	Somehow he sneaks into the giant camp of 100,000 guys and he goes in there and he films at 3 in the morning and this is clip 5.
	Did you leave?
	No.
	No, you're not allowed to leave.
	This man arrived two years ago from the South Asian nation of Nepal.
	Like all workers here, he's bundled up despite the 110 degree heat.
	Better to sweat than to burn alive.
	Yeah, it's better with the clothes and with your face, your head covered.
	All the manual work here is done by men like him.
	Every single one of those buildings, every single tunnel, every single highway, built by whom?
	By Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Indian, Nepali, migrant worker.
	Not a single Qatari will work in this heat.
	But if life on the job is hard, there's little relief to be found at home.
	One night last summer at 3 a.m., we drove outside the city to a place the government doesn't want people to see, the sprawling labor camps where the workers are housed.
	When we arrived, one shift of weary men was coming home, another shift heading onto buses for another day in the sun.
	Inside, the men were packed wall to wall, eight to a room.
	The heat was stifling, the kitchen filthy, the beds, they told us, infested with bedbugs.
	Seems reasonable.
	22-year-old Koum lives here among 150 other men.
	They share two bathrooms.
	This is one.
	One of two.
	Koum told us there are fights in the morning just to get to one before the work bus leaves.
	Where's the shower?
	There's no shower here.
	There's nowhere to wash your body.
	Where do you wash your body?
	You wash your body in the toilet?
	Yes.
	I mean, wow.
	It's very reasonable.
	So this just goes on and on.
	Now, I'm going to skip one clip because I want to bring out a kind of a discrepancy, a point of reference here so we know what's going on, which is kind of given away by...
	Let's see what clip...
	This is clip...
	This is the Qatari hit piece 8, where he talks to other journalists.
	The Qatari government doesn't seem keen to have this story in the news either.
	In March, German TV reporter Florian Bauer tried to report from some of the same labor camps we visited last year.
	We were driving around, shooting along the industrial area, and then all of a sudden, two people step up and say, police, please put down the camera.
	Police, put the cameras down.
	Yeah.
	They confiscated all the material, all the technical equipment, all laptops, all phones, all hard drives, everything.
	Bauer says he was interrogated by Qatari intelligence for 14 hours.
	Weeks later, a British news crew trying to cover the story was arrested and thrown in jail for days.
	This country holds in custody journalists while they're doing their job without any explanation.
	Should a country host a World Cup which is doing things like that?
	And the past year has brought other unsettling reports that some of the same men who helped make Qatar a sports power have spent some of their extra cash in troubling ways.
	They're spending it on sports.
	They're spending it on culture.
	They're spending it on investments.
	And they're spending it on terrorism.
	Oh.
	We played that BBC report.
	On the terrorism?
	Yeah, about, was it 524?
	So almost a month ago.
	It was not as effective as this piece.
	No, not at all.
	Not at all.
	Now, we're going to back up a clip.
	And then I want to play that, and I'm going to point out something that is kind of like a head-scratcher, but play a clip six, The Confrontation.
	He brings some guy down, some stooge who's ahead of the big all-sports cutter, and the guy's a glib.
	Does he have a turban?
	Yeah, well, he's got the thing.
	He's got the headdress.
	No, turban.
	He's got the headdress on.
	He's wearing white.
	And he's really cocky.
	He's got the little mustache, that cute little mustache they wear.
	And he's full of himself.
	And then here's how this goes.
	We went to the Mecca of Qatari sports, the state-of-the-art Aspire Sports Academy, to ask about the treatment of workers building the World Cup.
	Aspire's chief, Khalid al-Sulatin, told us that the reports of poor working and living conditions were exaggerated.
	If the conditions of foreign workers are not as bad as some of the reports imply, what is the truth of the conditions?
	You go yourself and investigate it.
	You will see them living in a very, you know, comfortable, healthy environment.
	Comfortable and healthy?
	Of course.
	We are living in a very healthy environment, alhamdulillah.
	Mr.
	Al-Sulleddin, with all due respect, we have gone to the camps.
	You went yourself?
	Yes.
	This week in Doha, where you have hundreds of thousands of men living in labor camps.
	Some of them packed into small rooms, eight men to a room, like the one we saw.
	Ten men sharing a toilet, no showers.
	Why is it necessary to keep these men in camps at all?
	This is not happening in the United States, you think?
	We don't have labor camps.
	No, you haven't.
	Labor camps?
	No, no, I'm not talking about labor camps.
	But issues of labor all over the world.
	Have you been to the labor camps yourself, sir?
	I'm not going to answer your questions.
	You don't want to answer that?
	Of course I don't want to answer it.
	And with that, we were told the interview was over.
	Thank you very much.
	Okay.
	Now this guy...
	He makes a point, of course.
	Oh, well, you should have seen this.
	It was pretty bad.
	There is bad situations.
	We just have our iPhones.
	It's just loaded.
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, we're talking about a country of 250,000 that people are buying.
	Everyone can buy a Bugatti.
	And they refuse to do anything.
	And then they're building all these crazy stadiums.
	One that's got an artificial cloud over it to keep the place cool during the day.
	Really?
	Oh, it's dynamite.
	How does it work?
	I guess it's like a giant helicopter, and it's supposedly going to be hovering over the whole thing.
	Oh my goodness, this looks great!
	Yeah, they're doing all kinds of stuff that's very cool.
	It's a quadcopter.
	Yeah, a giant quadcopter.
	Fantastic!
	This will chop everyone to bits when it crashes.
	Yeah, when it crashes, it'll be something to see.
	Nice.
	So it's not as though they, you know, this is scandalous, let's put it that way.
	It's highly scandalous.
	But what got me at this point, or actually after the journalist talk, was why wasn't this guy arrested and busted?
	Everybody else that came in, according to him, out of the drawer.
	Oh, instead of the FIFA guy, you mean?
	No, no, I'm talking about the guy doing the report.
	Oh, right.
	Oh, yeah, they pulled us over and said police.
	The guy was very...
	I don't have his name.
	No, they threw the BBC guys in jail for a couple of days.
	Yeah, they threw the BBC guys in jail.
	And I like the way he handles the...
	He's talking to some guy and the guy says, yeah.
	The guy pulls up and says, please, please, please put...
	And they put, you know, give us your stuff.
	And the guy reiterated there was police because it almost sounded like a guy said, please, please.
	But it was.
	It was police.
	This is a pro.
	And I think he was fast-tracked through the whole scene with some special immunity or something because they didn't touch him.
	They didn't throw him in jail, especially after this interview with this guy who walked out on him.
	They didn't arrest him at the border.
	They didn't grab his gear.
	So he was fast-tracked by some agency to be there and do what he had to do before they figured it out and probably deported him.
	They didn't talk about that.
	Do you recall this guy's name?
	No, I'm going to have to look it up because I thought I had written it down and I forgot.
	But he's just, you watch him and he is, he's like an uber journalist.
	He is like, it's just slick.
	Well, anyway, let's go on and finish this little presentation.
	Which one were we on?
	We did seven.
	We've done eight.
	Now it's time for nine.
	Nine.
	Angry.
	But not surprised, given that Qatar has faced no repercussions, neither from FIFA nor any of FIFA's powerful sponsors.
	I haven't seen a single sponsor of World Cup pull their name out of FIFA. So why Qatar would change?
	Why?
	McDonald's, Coca-Cola, other companies that are household names, for you, they are part of the problem?
	They're enabling Qatar's abuses?
	No question about that.
	We invited FIFA's major sponsors to explain, but none agreed to an interview.
	Gee, I wonder why.
	I just love this part.
	This is professional hit piece.
	I'm telling you, anyone out there studying journalism has to watch this.
	This is so outrageous.
	How will they get this legs, other than, I guess they're going after the advertisers?
	Yeah, and they can do it from the HBO perspective, because they don't care what McDonald's says.
	It's HBO, of course, of course.
	You will not see this piece anyplace.
	This should be 60 Minutes.
	Right.
	It's done like a 60 Minutes piece.
	It's shot like a 60 Minutes piece.
	It should be on 60 Minutes.
	60 Minutes can't show it because 60 Minutes is beholding to advertisers just the way PBS and everybody else is, which is a point we try to make on this show.
	And HBO is not.
	And HBO's not, which is cool.
	So let's just play the last clip where we can go out.
	He may not be alone.
	In 2013, the Qatari Olympic Committee honored another longtime sports official there, Abdul Aziz al-Attiyah.
	Last year, Attiyah was given a more dubious distinction, convicted in absentia by a Lebanese court of funding al-Qaeda.
	Both Attiyah and Noemi deny being funders of terrorism.
	Others in Qatari sport have provided radicals a platform.
	Remember the chief of the Aspire Sports Academy who we met last year?
	He may have walked out on us, but just one week after that, he and his academy played a much more accommodating host to this man, Sheikh Mohammed Al-Arifi.
	Al-Arifi is one of the more radical preachers in the Middle East.
	Huh.
	So the idea is advertisers need to pull out because you are otherwise directly responsible for aiding and embedding terrorism.
	Yes.
	And slavery.
	Whoa!
	So McDonald's and Coca-Cola and Adidas and Thai Thai, they put the names up on the screen, all the major sponsors.
	This is a shakedown.
	It was not a shakedown for who?
	No, it's a hit job.
	It's a hit job.
	It's an epic hit job.
	Shakedown's different.
	That's where you get money.
	No, this was a hit job, and it was done on behest of the United States government's intelligence agencies in some way, shape, or form, because we really got screwed when we wanted some of these games.
	We wanted those games.
	It was unfair, and so we decided, okay...
	You want to play Unfair?
	We'll show you Unfair.
	And this is just the beginning.
	I like it, John.
	This is the initial salvo.
	And it's aimed right at McDonald's.
	It's aimed right at Coca-Cola.
	When you see them pull out, you'll know it's starting to become effective.
	This is just the beginning.
	This would have been clip of the day if it was a clip.
	It was not a clip.
	No, it's an analysis of the week.
	Very, very good.
	And you know that Clinton's got his paws on this somewhere.
	Problem.
	Right?
	Yeah, it's possible.
	Let's keep our eye and see if Hillary does anything for HBO, anything special.
	You know, maybe a little town hall meeting or something.
	But Cutter is a target, and it's going to go on and on and on.
	Well, it's not until 2020, correct?
	Well, I know, but they're building these six stadiums, which are outrageous.
	I mean, it's something like $150 billion worth of stadiums.
	I like the drone cloud.
	That's cool.
	This crazy stuff.
	We should at least let him build that so he can take it.
	This something is up with this and this is not it.
	Well, I think you've nailed it.
	It's so clear.
	But again, anybody out there studying journalism who wants to really look at it, classic, classic, classic hit piece.
	I've never seen one as good.
	Send me the link and I'll put it in the show notes.
	HBO.com.
	Oh, okay.
	All right.
	And it's the Brian...
	Brian Gumbel's Real Sports.
	Real Sports.
	Okay.
	Good work, John.
	Can't wait to see that come down.
	But they have a couple years, so it's just the beginning.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's 2020.
	There's going to be regime change by the time this Olympics comes around.
	Yeah.
	That's how we roll.
	Hollywood, regime change, screw ya.
	Booyah.
	I had a jarring experience.
	Yeah?
	Yesterday.
	Now, two days ago.
	Friday.
	I was walking down the street, concentrating on trucking, right?
	And there were two...
	Now, at first I thought they were Planned Parenthood rousers.
	What do we call them again?
	Solicitors?
	Solicitors, yeah.
	But I see that it's a combo t-shirt.
	It's Planned Parenthood with Save the Children on the front, Planned Parenthood on the back.
	And this t-shirt by itself already just made my mind go into pretzel.
	It's like, how do you make it work?
	Save the children with an organization that aborts children and stops them from being born altogether.
	Stops conception.
	Yes.
	How is that somehow saving the children?
	I don't know.
	And so I didn't have one of my, you know, nifty little comebacks.
	I just thought, you know, today I'm just going to walk.
	You choked.
	I did.
	I choked.
	And it was one on one side of the sidewalk and one on the other.
	So you walk through the tunnel.
	Yeah, that's a good one.
	And that by itself already felt, oof, just didn't feel good.
	And the guy on the left, he's like, yeah, but not today, man, not tonight.
	Then the guy, as I walked past this tunnel, the guy on the right says, Oh yeah, you don't care about children.
	Wow!
	Yeah, and I stopped.
	It's a one-two punch.
	And I turned around and said, Excuse me?
	He said, You don't care about children.
	You don't want to save children.
	I said, Wait a minute.
	I don't like your approach, is what I'm saying.
	Oh, it's one-to-one marketing.
	Look it up.
	Wow!
	Yeah!
	And now I'm feeling something that I'm feeling a little bit of irritation.
	Yeah.
	But here's the thing.
	And I take one step towards this guy.
	I mean, I'm already like 10 feet away or maybe even a little bit more.
	And I say, I'm just, are you kidding me?
	Yeah, look it up.
	One-to-one marketing.
	I said, no, you're being annoying.
	And that's not cool.
	And I saw this guy, he looked at me with hatred.
	Like, real hatred.
	And I was like, you know, why don't you look up Margaret Sanger and the Eugenic Society of America?
	You look that up, I'll go look up one-to-one marketing.
	He had no idea what I was talking about.
	But I still can't figure out...
	Oh, by the way, the hatred, I have to say, both these guys were black, and I felt they looked at me like a white asshole.
	That's the first time I've ever felt that.
	And maybe it's just conditioning that's come through, you know, whatever's going on on my side, so I'll own that shit.
	But they looked at me with hate, man.
	I didn't feel this.
	This was really messed up.
	I'm going to look into this Save the Children.
	And there is...
	So Save the Children, I had no idea how big this is.
	Were they looking for money or you signed something?
	They had tablets and people, I think, were signing stuff, but they don't need money.
	Guess how much money they have?
	Tell me.
	I just want you to wager one guess and know that Planned Parenthood contributes heavily to them.
	Oh, the Save the Children operation?
	Yeah, that's why they had a combo t-shirt.
	So, okay, they probably have, I don't know, what, $20 million?
	$657 million!
	Really?
	Yes.
	For what?
	To save the children.
	And that's just the American chapter.
	They're part of this huge, this bigger organization.
	But if you look at what they've got, the CEO making $600,000, this is one of those big ones.
	What do they do besides harass people on the street?
	One-to-one marketing.
	Look it up.
	I can give you their mission statement if that helps.
	Might be worth it.
	Let me see.
	Mission statement.
	Save the Children is the world's leading independent organization for children in need with programs in nearly 120 countries, including the United States.
	We aim to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to create immediate and lasting change in their lives by improving their health, education and economic opportunities.
	In times of acute crisis, we mobilize rapid assistance to help children recover from the effects of war, conflict and natural disasters.
	Save the Children is a member of the International Save the Children Alliance, a global network of 30 independent Save the Children organizations working to ensure the well-being and protection of children in more than 120 countries.
	The donors are the ones you'd expect.
	The Mel and Belinda Gates Foundation.
	The Open Society Institute.
	This is a New World Order outfit.
	And they've got quite the war chest.
	Let's just take a look and see who's...
	Let me find out who's on the board.
	This is big, though.
	So...
	I don't know.
	What are you going to do next time you run into these two clowns or two similar clowns?
	Well, I'm going to have to ask how do I... These two clowns.
	I think I'm going to have to engage and just understand.
	Why don't you get a hold of the laptop and start scrolling around, checking it out, seeing what's going on.
	I'm going to.
	I was thrown off, John.
	It was very...
	Yeah, you were...
	I've never seen you do this.
	You usually don't choke.
	No.
	It was a whole new situation.
	I was funneled, you know, like...
	What do they call that in the UK? Uh...
	Tea-kettled or whatever.
	Yeah, tea-kettled.
	Kettled.
	I was kettled, exactly.
	Anyway, I want to find out how Planned Parenthood, how their mission fits in with Save the Children.
	Doesn't make any sense.
	And I'm going to have to record it, and, you know, but it was just, wow, it was just, I... Yeah, you were besides yourself.
	I am a little.
	Yeah, I was...
	Normally, this never happens to you.
	I was upset.
	I was upset.
	Huh.
	Well, nothing similar has happened to me.
	Meanwhile, I'm glad we were on this.
	This is a local story here, just up the road in Waco, Texas.
	Waco's known for some bad historical crap going down when it comes to...
	Yeah, historically.
	Historically, yes.
	Like the Branch Davidians, and they burned a whole bunch of children.
	Shit happens.
	It's kind of the Florida of Texas.
	How does that work?
	Everything crazy goes on in Florida.
	Okay.
	So we had this big biker gang blowout, and I've been tracking this.
	A number of people were telling me that, hey, this is really strange.
	The reports, although they've been completely obfuscated even from the mainstream, I think only of the nine or ten people who were killed, only one was killed by a bullet from some other biker.
	The rest were all killed by the cops.
	Sounds right?
	Huh?
	Yes, that sounds right.
	How's that new?
	But they made it look like it was a big biker brawl, and that was going on.
	Of course, they started inside this Twin Peaks restaurant, and now there's just this little report that I thought was interesting, of note, I shall say.
	The attorney for one of the bikers who claimed to be wrongly arrested has subpoenaed the restaurant surveillance video from the day of the shooting, but the city of Waco is trying to stop its release.
	KCE NHG News reporter Rissa Shaw has been covering the story, and Rissa, when could we see the video?
	As early as tomorrow, the attorney for Matthew Clendenin, Clint Broden, told me this afternoon that if and when the video gets released, he will make it public.
	The Waco restaurant's law firm in Dallas was served with a subpoena this week, and they aren't yet fighting it.
	They agreed to produce the video by 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, but the city of Waco is attempting to quash the video from being released.
	Everybody wants this video to be public except the city of Waco.
	And this is an extraordinary step being taken by the city of Waco, and that should speak volumes as to why they want to keep this video suppressed.
	In a release from Waco PD today, they gave an update on the case, saying their detectives are currently completing search warrants for cell phones seized at the scene, so there may be even more videos on those phones that could be added to the investigation.
	I'm thinking something's going on.
	Something's up.
	Yep, for sure.
	Yeah, they're looking for cell phones just in case they got incriminating videos.
	That's the reason.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah.
	We'll find out.
	But in the meantime, I do want to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C., where the C stands for Confederates, Dvorak.
	And the morning to you, Adam Kearney.
	Also in the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, all the dames and knights out there.
	And the morning to everyone in the chat room, noagendastream.com.
	Lots of debate going on about flags and gays.
	Very nice to see you all here.
	And thank you to our artists.
	Thank you, Nick the Rat, for the artwork for Episode 733.
	Very nice.
	We had some good things to choose from.
	And in fact, we're going back and forth between the Keystone Cops, which I believe you used in the newsletter with the U.S. cybersecurity team on the side of their jalopy.
	I think I used Nick the Rat in the newsletter.
	The Keystone Cops one.
	Oh, was that also Nick the Rat?
	Yeah.
	Well, we used Nick the Rat's broken padlock on the art for 733.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can see all the submissions and where you can submit.
	During the program, we always choose right after the show.
	And good luck to you.
	Good luck to you all.
	Good luck to you.
	So we have a few people to thank as executive producers and associate executive producers.
	Actually, one, two, three, four executive producers and one associate executive producer.
	So let's start with Roy Pierce from Fort Pierce.
	Knight, I believe, sir, 334.
	You have a note from him.
	I did.
	He had a couple of links, which I'll add to the show notes.
	Crackpot Buzzkill, several news outlets mentioned we are cozying up to Venezuela.
	Then he has a couple of links here.
	American Thinker, which is right-wing.
	The U.S. appears to be playing footsie with Venezuela to save Marxist dictatorship.
	And he goes on to say, what nobody mentions is that Castro wants us to normalize relations with Venezuela.
	And he has some analysis of that, a link.
	This will give the President of the United States a twofer towards his goal of...
	The New World Order!
	That's his note.
	How does that work?
	I don't know.
	He can't just say.
	He just can't back up and say, the new world with no documentation or any.
	Well, he has some.
	How does it fit into the scheme of things?
	We need to know the structure.
	Send us a follow-up note, Sir Roy.
	We need to know.
	Yes, indeed.
	Structure.
	We need structure.
	I'm going to give him some karma just for sending that in.
	That was cool.
	Yeah.
	You've got karma.
	And we appreciate your 3-3-4 donation, sir.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Okay, now we have a grouch that came in, Joseph Lieber.
	I read this last night.
	Yeah.
	It's a drunk donation.
	Peking, Illinois.
	Yeah, a drunk donation.
	Are you going to do it?
	I'll do it drunk.
	All right.
	3-3-3-3-3.
	Drunk donation.
	I stopped listening around Christmas of last year because this show is getting too annoying.
	Yeah.
	because of the news that are whining about low donations.
	So I wondered what the show sounded like now.
	Your show has really picked up over the past month, and I need to contribute my second one-third donation towards knighthood.
	It also helps that I found a podcast player that can speed up the show, remove the silence, and allow me to skip the annoying parts.
	Love you guys.
	Give me some karma or give some karma to yourself because I got plenty to go around.
	I love.
	You suck.
	Here's a donation.
	It could have been summed up like that.
	We had a guy wrote in saying, you know, your show stinks.
	He says you do the world's best job of deconstructing the media, but it's like watching an archer just pump the bullseye over and over and over again.
	So what's the point?
	Well, that's just like Breaking Bad is about two guys cooking meth, and Orange is the New Black is about the jail with lesbians.
	It's like the nightly news is about the news.
	Why don't they change?
	This is what the guy said.
	This is the essence of what he said.
	I watch the nightly news every night.
	It's just about the news.
	Why don't they change it up?
	Yeah.
	Add some Hollywood news in there.
	No, why just news?
	Let's do some other stuff.
	Guests.
	Bring on guests.
	That's another favorite of mine.
	I'm shocked, shocked to find drunk donation emails coming in here.
	You've got karma.
	They're talking about, uh...
	Ike, Sir Thomas Nussbaum, is in for 3-14-15 for Virginia Beach, Virginia.
	And he says, hopefully this works.
	I'm shocked, shocked Sir Nussbaum has had to work on No Agenda Day.
	I'm shocked, shocked to find Sir Nussbaum working on No Agenda Day.
	There you go.
	Production, people.
	That's production right there.
	Don't get used to it.
	Nailed.
	Don't get used to it.
	IntelliArmor.LLC from Bend, Oregon.
	He actually came with $355.
	He meant the...
	Or $350 or something.
	I forgot what the number was.
	Whatever the case, as I said, whatever the case.
	In honor of John's Collegiate Bowling Days, please accept our donation of $305, which as John knows is 7-10 split.
	It's 7-10 split.
	Get it?
	Yes.
	I get it.
	According to our detailed calculations, this puts us over 1,000 in total donations and qualifies us for a seat at the No Agenda Roundtable.
	We humbly request to be knighted, Sir IntelliArmor.
	What's that?
	What is that?
	I don't know what it says.
	There's a little character there.
	Knight of Extreme Screen Protection.
	Yes.
	Yeah, this is what they make.
	Thank you both for the excellent podcast you produce.
	You continue to produce to an extreme.
	Can we get a bomb them, bomb them, with her head is gone, followed by an oh my god, that's amazing, and then he has loves and kisses.
	Bomb them, bomb them, and bomb them again.
	And her head is gone.
	Oh my god, that is amazing!
	You've got karma.
	Sure thing.
	I think it's kind of interesting that people put these little stories together using the clips.
	It's very nice.
	Jason Wall in Regina, Saskatchewan.
	Rhymes.
	As they say there locally, rhymes with.
	3 at 23456, he did send a note in.
	Uh-huh.
	I will open the note, which is on the other page.
	Hi, John and Adam.
	Thank you for your courage and for all the work you do producing the great, great No Agenda show, the best podcast in the universe.
	I just thought I would email you with a quick update from the true north, strong and free.
	Mm-hmm.
	Specifically, there are now three new laws that have been rammed through Parliament.
	Yeah, this is C-51.
	This is their Patriot Act, their Canada Freedom Act.
	A little slow in the draw, but they're going to do it anyway.
	After years of trying, Harper's conservative majority has finally created a domestic spying agency to rival the NSA CSIS. It is called the CSIS, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.
	It has been given authority to spy on Canadians and our allies.
	And it's broad.
	They can be spied on anywhere for anything, pretty much.
	Do they not have a constitution in Scandinavia?
	They have national bylaws which include freedom.
	Aren't they pretty much just under British rules?
	They're more free than we are technically.
	But this stuff goes on.
	It's over.
	One of the Canadians did a report on this where they essentially abnegated freedom of speech for a period of time so they could crack down on something or other.
	They're very into alien and sedition laws.
	Sounds very much like what you'd have in the 1920s.
	Anyway, the guy goes on.
	Wall goes on.
	Considering the RCMP position is that whenever you're attacking the Canadian economy, you could be branded a terrorist.
	It was being spoken to in reference to C51 protesters.
	This is not good news.
	With laws like these, protesting the Keystone XL might well be considered treason.
	Yeah.
	I like that.
	Yeah.
	We should be doing this.
	It's good.
	It's good.
	New Citizen Act, which I guess we recently went through as well.
	This law allows the Canadian government to strip anyone of their Canadian citizenship if they are convicted of any terrorist activities.
	See above.
	Such as advertising on the World Cup.
	I've been told it only applies to immigrants who hold more than one citizenship.
	Considering anyone arriving in Canada by any means, that would not seem ordinary.
	Stephen Harper's words.
	Anyway, he goes on.
	He said you could be sent directly to maximum security prisons, held up for eight years without charge.
	I can't imagine why anyone would want to move here anyway.
	Lastly, a new bill has been proposed...
	We have a little Canadian competition going on, too, thanks to the newsletter, which we'll talk about during the next break.
	Lastly, a new bill has been proposed with the same political fervor as the previous two.
	It is one that will allow further lawmaking with regard to security matters to take place in secret.
	Wonder where they got that idea.
	With no public debate or media coverage.
	Can't imagine!
	There will be no record of where they decide to legislate, at least until they're declassified in 50 years.
	Having seen what these conservatives and liberals by association have been willing to vote for in broad daylight, I shudder to think of what they'll do behind closed doors.
	Thank you again for all you do.
	Well, thank you.
	And keep us apprised.
	He was hoping that we'd do more Canadian news, but then he realizes that most of it is just...
	It's the same.
	I watched...
	I watch CTV Edmonton is one of my stations.
	And I like watching Canadian television because the ads are all alien to me.
	But yeah, we'll cover more Canadian stuff.
	We try.
	But I have read C-51 and it's extremely broad.
	We put it in the show notes so it's all searchable.
	What would they do this for?
	Control?
	They could just use our agencies.
	But is Canada a member of Five Eyes?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Well, there you go.
	It's just an expansion of our agency.
	It is our agency.
	I believe...
	I believe...
	Hold on.
	Great Britain, United States, and Canada.
	I think that is the Five Eyes.
	Hold on.
	I believe...
	C-S-I-S... I believe I had an article about these jabronis, and I think it was somehow that NSA had given them a lot of technology.
	I'm going to have to look that up.
	Well, they had to put it to use the way our local police have to put stuff to use?
	More than likely.
	What are we going to do with all these computers, Bill?
	All right, let's start a spy agency and play spy.
	We can all be cool spies.
	Woo!
	I have to keep it a secret.
	Oh, yeah!
	It's cool, man.
	You're a bunch of 12-year-olds.
	Uh-huh.
	I'm just noting that.
	Very nice.
	And that's it, I believe, for our...
	Yes, that will be it.
	We do have another show coming up on Thursday.
	I hope we can pick up the pace at the end of the throat of summer.
	Yeah.
	It always happens around this time of year.
	It gets tough.
	Well, July 4th is a problem.
	People stop listening to the show.
	That's one of the reasons we have the newsletter to remind you that we're here.
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Hello, we're still doing the show.
	We're still doing the show.
	Yeah, we're trying.
	Read your tweets, your emails, listen to your phone calls.
	NSA is looking out for you.
	That's right.
	Now available in Scandinavia.
	We want to thank all of our executive producers and associate executive producers for helping us out for episode 734.
	Another show on Thursday coming to you from the Netherlands, where I will be staying with Christina.
	So we'll be in Rotterdam.
	So we know the pipe will be good.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it was.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Secondhandthursday.org.
	Thursday.
	That's right.
	Thursday.
	You will be in Rotterdam on Thursday.
	On Thursday, yeah.
	Bring an international flair to the show.
	And of course, we always need everybody out there doing the important work of propagating our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Lawyer!
	Lawyer!
	Shut up, Slay! .
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up.
	Let me ask you a question.
	Okay.
	Alrighty then.
	If, um...
	If one of your loved ones was killed, gunned down by a crazy, hateful, crazy, hateful, crazy hater.
	Gunned down.
	Gunned down.
	Shot.
	Uh-huh.
	Would you be expecting money from the government for this?
	No.
	Hmm.
	That's interesting.
	Unless they shot him.
	Which is more likely.
	Well, hold on.
	I'll ding you for that.
	The Department of Justice has fast-tracked a supportive payment of $29 million to the shooting victims' families in Charleston, South Carolina, which happens under...
	There's a protocol for this compensation, but this comes from the Office for Victims of Crime.
	Yeah, you're bringing back the comment that unless they shot him.
	Thank you.
	You took the words out of my mouth.
	Because, of course, the conspiracy is, oh, time to pay off the crisis actors.
	Like, okay, whatever, fine.
	I think there was some actual dead people in this one.
	I got a great photo I'm going to put in the next newsletter.
	I want you to go stick with it.
	Hello?
	I was looking at the television.
	I took it off the TV. And they got those two jabronis that supposedly escaped the prison and they were running around.
	Yeah.
	And they killed one of them.
	Yeah.
	And so there's this photo that's on one of the news stations.
	It's got that same poster with the two guys side by side, you know, standing in front of the little distance thing.
	And one across one of them, it says, killed!
	Nice!
	This was the goal.
	I heard from very reliable sources that that guy...
	Well, first I heard one of the two had a huge schlong.
	Yeah, I would believe that the guy who was supposedly the lady killer.
	Well, this came from gay circles.
	I said, oh man, they killed the guy with the big schlong.
	I thought it was the other guy that had the big schlong.
	No, apparently no.
	I have a high authority.
	You have a high authority that the ugly guy had the big schlong?
	Yeah, hello.
	God gives you something.
	Hey, you're ugly, but look at this.
	You have a great future ahead of you.
	So I thought, this is very interesting, this Office for Victims of Crime.
	Do you know how big, so this is not taxpayer money, let me point out.
	As they point out on their website, This is acquired from fines and confiscated materials.
	And I'm sure it's huge bank accounts.
	Which usually is reduced to going into the general fund, which means it is taxpayer money.
	I'm just saying...
	It's pre-taxpayer money.
	Yes.
	It's what's on the website.
	They say this is from fines and money that has been...
	What's the word?
	Confiscated.
	Confiscated, thank you.
	For federal crimes, which, and I looked at the numbers, $9 billion they have in this account.
	So I'm thinking that probably came from all those bankers they threw in jail.
	Took all their money.
	Probably not.
	$9 billion.
	But I just found it interesting.
	Why is this being fast-tracked?
	It works out to more than $3 million for the families of each person who was killed in this attack.
	Now, as far as I know, we have a manifesto which is not 100% attributable to Dylan Stormroof.
	We have a crazy name, Dylan Stormroof.
	Let's put that out there.
	And...
	We don't know if he acted out of pure hate.
	We have some photoshopped pictures with flags that have clearly, forensically proven, been photoshopped.
	So he has the Rhodesian flag.
	It's just all this supposition.
	But there's a lot of...
	It's all circumstantial.
	This guy hasn't been...
	Has he testified yet?
	I don't think so.
	Has he made a statement?
	I don't think so.
	Has he said, I hate black people?
	Yeah, they have to kill him in prison.
	Well, they might have to, because the president did the eulogy for this state senator.
	And this guy, very interesting...
	With the president?
	No, the state senator.
	Yeah, this is my assertion from the beginning that this was a hit on him.
	Yeah, he voted against gay marriage.
	That was his stance.
	But he also, he really was okay with the Confederate flag.
	Here's a little piece of a speech he did a while back, just in itself a little bit of a history lesson regarding Confederacy and the Confederate flag, and really his stance on this.
	Ladies and gentlemen, we have heard the stories of how the Civil War divided houses.
	Yes, fought for a good cause, but still divided houses.
	And when I say divided houses, there were black Confederates and white Confederates.
	I know because in the Emanuel Cemetery we have black Confederates who were buried.
	There were those from the South and the North who supported the Union and those who did not.
	And so again, divided houses.
	On this land, even as an African-American preacher, I respect and understand that, yes, Union troops fought, but also Confederate troops fought.
	And God is not a respecter of persons, no causes.
	And so we honor all the blood, all the troops that gave us life during this time.
	It is in this very obscure text That David sort of encapsulates what many people feel when it comes to the Civil War.
	Joy and yet pain.
	The many good men who died for good or for a good cause.
	Those who died doing what they thought was in the best interest of the country.
	Yes, as a supporter of the Union, thank God for the Union.
	But yes, there were many Confederate soldiers who always fought because they felt that it was good for their homeland.
	And so I can imagine like Lincoln, who went to Gettysburg and looked through the fog and saw not just Union soldiers and not just blue uniforms, But also grey uniforms and wrote those very famous words that we honor,
	those very very famous words in his Gettysburg Address that we said is probably one of the best speeches in American history, where he honored all and cherished all's sacrifice and believed and wished that none would have to die for the Union.
	There you go.
	That sounds like a guy who's pretty level-headed about the Civil War and the Confederacy.
	Yeah, I'd say.
	And somehow no one questions this, that it's only a symbol of hate, of racial hate?
	And here's the guy himself speaking from the grave.
	I'm waiting for the day when they lower the Confederate flag and put up the gay flag.
	Well, this is all over Twitter, if you haven't seen it.
	This cartoon has already been drawn.
	What I just said?
	Yep.
	Geez, I'm slowing the draw, apparently.
	So, here we have...
	By the way, can I just do an aside?
	No, I'll do it later.
	Never mind.
	Keep going.
	Here we have the president.
	And this is the other Obama.
	And where has this guy been?
	They should have put him in a long time ago.
	This guy's good.
	He knows how to do this.
	This guy is spot on.
	This version of the president is good.
	And he's got the whole church thing down.
	But holy mackerel!
	He's all in on this guy who hated black people.
	He was connected through a long line of hate.
	And what he's doing, of course, is actually fanning the flames and creating divisiveness.
	Very, very spectacular.
	And there were people all over in offices listening in and were so moving, yet he's got it down.
	This Obama is great with this stuff.
	Great!
	A church built by blacks seeking liberty, burned to the ground because its founders sought to end slavery, only to rise up again.
	a phoenix from these ashes.
	When there were laws banning all black church gatherings, services happened here anyway, in the That's the first time, that's where you start.
	Anyway, he starts going to his Martin Luther King Jr.
	Anyway, he's good, he's good.
	When there was a righteous movement to dismantle Jim Crow, Dr.
	Martin Luther King Jr.
	preached from its pulpit, and marches began from its steps.
	Watch this.
	A sacred place, this church.
	Not just for blacks.
	Not just for Christians.
	But for every American who cares about the steady expansion of human rights and human dignity in this country.
	A foundation stone for liberty and justice for all.
	That's what the church meant.
	Whoo!
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no.
	Hey!
	Alright, so he can get the crowd going.
	Now, of course, it's an easy crowd, but good.
	Very, very good.
	Now, he does this whole piece on this kid, which we really know nothing about.
	Nothing.
	Because you could just as easily say, it's about the pharmaceutical industry.
	They pump these kids full of crap, and then they're out on the streets looking for the illegal cheap high, and then they're put on some more crap that keeps them kind of in balance, and who knows what could have happened.
	We need to work on...
	Big Pharma killing our children.
	159 million prescriptions in 2012 for opiates.
	That's more than it.
	We have adults in this country.
	No, no, that's not what he did.
	We do not know whether the killer of Reverend Pickney and eight others knew all of this history.
	But he surely sensed the meaning of his violent act.
	This is interesting.
	So the president knows what he sensed.
	It was an act that drew on a long history.
	Mm-hmm.
	Of bombs.
	He smacks his lips a lot.
	Well, that's this Obama.
	I think it's a tell.
	And shots fired at churches.
	Not random.
	But as a means of control.
	A way to terrorize and oppress.
	Okay, so now he's saying that this kid was terrorizing, oppressing, in the long line of bombing churches, burning churches, shots fired at churches.
	An act that he imagined would incite fear and recrimination, violence and suspicion.
	An act that he presumed would deepen divisions.
	The trace back to our nation's original sin.
	Damn.
	Are you hearing what I'm hearing, John?
	What are you hearing?
	I'm just hearing the president putting divisive hate speech out there.
	Yeah, this is hate speech.
	Yeah, this is hate speech.
	Oh, but God works in mysterious ways.
	All right.
	We should call him sometime.
	God has different ideas.
	He didn't know he was being used by God.
	This is great.
	Great.
	So now God used Dylan Roof's storm roof, used him to do this in a particular way.
	Blinded by hatred, the alleged killer could not see the grace surrounding Reverend Pickney.
	Are you bored?
	Is that why you're playing your instruments?
	No, I'm looking for a note.
	And that Bible study group.
	Blinded by hatred he was.
	Oh, the president knows everything.
	The light of love that shone as they opened the church doors and invited a stranger to join in their prayer circle.
	The alleged killer could have never anticipated the way the families of the fallen would respond when they saw him in court in the midst of unspeakable grief with words of forgiveness.
	He couldn't imagine that.
	Damn!
	You gotta admit, this guy is good!
	You don't like him?
	I think you should call God again, see what he thinks.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	Where's his number?
	He should have a short number.
	Yeah.
	Hello?
	No.
	How about letting you ring a couple times?
	Start over.
	I'm out of here right now.
	Please leave a message.
	In the morning.
	All right.
	Very good.
	Here is the president talking about the kind of bigotry and hatred that clearly exists today in these United States.
	And I'm sure it does exist to some degree.
	Which is unfortunate, but it exists everywhere.
	This is just how the world works.
	The world is unfair.
	We can all work on this.
	We can all get better.
	But for him to say this in a eulogy in this manner was, I don't know, divisive.
	Maybe we now realize the way racial bias can infect us, even when we don't realize it.
	So that we're guarding against not just racial slurs, but we're also guarding against this subtle impulse to call Johnny back for a job interview, but not Jamal.
	You know?
	That's harsh.
	I don't know how much more of this I can take.
	You know, at some point you have to just think he's a douchebag.
	This is not much of a eulogy.
	No, it's not.
	And it was funny because everybody...
	He's not talking about the dead guy.
	He's talking about some basic theory of the world, the way it operates.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Exactly.
	Well, he did talk about the dead guy, too.
	What was interesting to me, this was produced.
	When I go to a eulogy and hear somebody go on, I don't expect to get a lecture from them.
	I'm not going there to hear some lecture from a rabble-rouser.
	Well, it seemed like everyone enjoyed it very much.
	Well, you got the president there.
	I mean, you know, you hope to get an autograph afterwards.
	You realize those things are worth about 100 bucks a pop.
	It's a good time.
	There was a production flub, which I wanted to point out.
	By now, you probably heard the president saying Amazing Grace.
	But this was set up.
	The production knew about it.
	In fact, the way it was set up is, okay, the president's going to talk about Grace, Amazing Grace.
	And I think he moved pieces of his speech around or something.
	And the organ and the band starts kicking in because they think he's going to sing, but it's at the wrong moment.
	Oh, no.
	They blew the cue.
	Yeah, they totally blew the cue.
	You'll hear it.
	Listen.
	I've been reflecting on this idea of grace.
	Attention camera three.
	Get ready for the band.
	Shh.
	Okay, get ready for the track.
	Band, are you ready?
	Are you ready?
	Band, get ready.
	He's going to sing Amazing Grace.
	Who's your hostess?
	Get ready.
	Grace to the families who lost loved ones.
	Okay, get ready, Band.
	The grace that Reverend Pickney would preach about in his sermons.
	It's the grace moment, Amazing Grace.
	Everybody, places for Amazing Grace.
	One of my favorite hymnals.
	The one we all know.
	This is the one.
	Get ready.
	Amazing grace.
	Alright, cue the band, band, band, cue the band, cue the band, he's about to go.
	It saved a wretch like me.
	I once was lost.
	He's doing the mix!
	I want to hear the band!
	Get the band going, get the band going, go!
	There you go, band, band, band, good!
	Here he goes!
	And zoom in tight, five.
	Camera two, position for the profile shot.
	And here he comes.
	It just peters out.
	It was a complete miscue.
	It was fantastic.
	Well, he's supposed to pick it up, too.
	No!
	Of course he should have.
	It was the real deal, but he set it up perfectly.
	The whole thing was good to go.
	I think he forgot.
	No, you know what?
	I'm going to take his side on this.
	Because it's the other Obama.
	Right.
	So the stage manager fucked it up.
	He had to point to him.
	Go!
	Go!
	And the guy was over and listening to the dog talking on his headset or something.
	Oh, God, I forgot the radio.
	Look at some chicks.
	She's hot.
	Get her after the show.
	For those of you who have not seen it, I'll play his actual singing.
	If we can find that grace, anything is possible.
	He better do it this time.
	If we can tap that grace.
	He's tapping the grace.
	He's tapping it.
	Get ready.
	And cue Obama!
	Amazing Grace!
	Cue him already!
	Amazing Grace!
	Cue Obama!
	Amazing!
	Position for band.
	All right, band.
	Let's get it right this time.
	And cue the band!
	Band!
	Cue the band!
	Where's the auto tune?
	It was pretty awful.
	What a great singer he is.
	No, not this Obama.
	No, that's the other Obama.
	They should have put the auto-tune on his mic.
	It would have been easy.
	That would actually have worked.
	It wasn't that far off that the auto-tune wouldn't have fixed it.
	People don't realize that that's what that was invented for.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	And of course, the crazy sound that it makes is when you turn it up to full blast and it makes anything musical.
	I wonder if I have an auto-tune plug-in somewhere.
	Oh, I bet you they do.
	You should get the auto-tune plug-in.
	That will solve your problems, your lifetime problems.
	I'm singing.
	You've always wanted to be a singer.
	Singer!
	Yeah, and with auto-tune you can fix it.
	I don't...
	You're probably going to buy it.
	Well, you know, you can...
	Tone Lux Tilt?
	Is that maybe it?
	Tone Lux?
	It sounds like a clone.
	Tone Lux Tilt?
	Yeah, you can get Tone Lux for five bucks.
	Kind of works.
	Let me see.
	This is...
	Okay, let me see.
	What is this?
	Let me try this.
	Will this work?
	I have to turn it on.
	Hold on.
	Why can't I even move this?
	Here we go.
	Oh, it's on already.
	One, two, two, hello?
	In, on, now.
	It's not working.
	Polary invert now.
	I don't even know what this is.
	What is this thing?
	There's too many crazy things nowadays.
	Yeah, this is not helpful.
	All right, let's play.
	So Donald Trump runs for office.
	People aren't taking him seriously.
	They look at his numbers.
	He's already seconded.
	Yeah.
	So we have this Trump Tower clip.
	Coincidence?
	I think not!
	Also in New York, a fire erupted on the 21st floor of the Trump Tower on the Upper West Side of Manhattan today.
	Black smoke spewed out of the building.
	One person was hurt.
	Officials say the fire started on the terrace, but they're not sure how it started.
	Huh.
	Shut up, Trump.
	I'm reminded of when...
	Shut up, dude.
	Third party, spoiler, Ross Perot ran for president.
	And some guys in black suits came up to him one day and told him to get out of the race.
	And they showed him a bunch of photos or something.
	And he was doing well.
	He left.
	Yeah.
	I had to quit!
	They're going to kill me!
	My family!
	He liked life, apparently.
	I think this is a shot across the bow, to use that phrase once again in this show.
	Shot across the bow.
	Maybe that's a good one.
	I can't find it.
	I was just looking for the plug.
	Okay, while you're doing that, I got some Tunisian news because of the shooting.
	Yeah, I have a report on that as well.
	The concern, though, is that they were carried out by Islamic radicals loyal to ISIS, and this is a serious concern for U.S. officials with the Fourth of July right around the corner.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, of course.
	Well, there's something else.
	I was watching Sky TV. I'm sorry, 4th of July.
	Before you do that, I did develop an evergreen from one of these reports that I think you should think about using occasionally.
	Okay.
	And the evergreen is called Run, Run, Run.
	Let me check it out right now.
	And they were running, running really fast.
	Everyone cried, run, run, run, run, run.
	And also the security, they all called us to run, run, go into your rooms, run away.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	We could mix those.
	Run, run, run, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	I like it.
	Run, run, run, run, run. Run, run, run, run, run, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Okay.
	I will put that one in the bin.
	This is what the news has come to be for us.
	Looking for stupid things.
	So Sky News brings this guy on, and he is the head of, let me see, the Quilliam Foundation.
	His name is Majid Nawaz, co-founder and chairman.
	Quilliam Foundation, Q-U-I-L-L-I-A-M Foundation.
	We've talked about these people before.
	Have we?
	I do not recall.
	Yes.
	What do they do?
	I don't know.
	Because it seems like all they're doing is they're just reaching out.
	They have outreach.
	I think they're one of the middlemen when it comes to the funds flying around.
	They're like in there somewhere.
	So they bring this guy on and he connects all three of these terrorist attacks as just as all part of one whole thing.
	Well, hold on a second.
	The Canadian National pretty much did the same thing.
	Interesting.
	Let's see.
	Actually, what's been happening in France is connected to what's happened in Tunisia and also elsewhere.
	Mohammed Adnani, who's an ISIS ideologue, has been promising for a few weeks now that in the holy month of Ramadan, ISIS will step up their attacks to mark the one-year anniversary of the founding of their so-called caliphate.
	When is Ramadan this year?
	It's right now.
	You're in it.
	We're in Ramadan right now?
	As far as I know, I think so.
	Ramadan, 2015.
	Oh, yes, it's from June 17th to July 17th.
	Yeah, there you go.
	With the sweet spot being the 4th of July.
	Perfect.
	And so it appears to be at the moment a coordinated attack by ISIS on soft targets across the world.
	The Shia Mosque in Kuwait, the attack on the factory in France, and the attack on the hotel in Tunisia, which has now apparently amounted to 27 casualties there.
	And the reason ISIS could be planning these soft target attacks is because actually in their stronghold in Iraq and Syria, they are on the defensive, and they need to demonstrate to mark this one-year anniversary that the Sounds like he's laying out the strategy right here.
	And this guy clearly is a spokeshole.
	That's all that this outreach organization does.
	I think they can label themselves a think tank.
	That's what we are.
	We're a think tank.
	They're just shills.
	They're still relevant.
	They're still operationally capable.
	And they need to attract other fighters to their cause to keep morale high.
	And that's what's going on here, apparently.
	Well, of course, in France, people are highly alarmed.
	I mean, this is the first decapitation on French soil.
	We haven't had one in Britain.
	There's always a first for everything.
	Almost decapitation with...
	Oh, damn.
	Almost.
	Damn, we didn't have a real one.
	Hold on a second.
	Notice the irony in that particular comment?
	That he's saying decapitation instead of beheading?
	This is the first decapitation on French soil.
	Did you ever hear of the French Revolution and the guillotine?
	No.
	Yeah, in baskets.
	This is the first capitation on French soil?
	Are you kidding me?
	I mean, this is the first decapitation on French soil.
	We haven't had one in Britain.
	We had an almost decapitation with...
	They had decapitations in Britain too, didn't they?
	Probably.
	Yeah.
	Well, this is an outrage.
	Drummer Lee Rigby.
	So people are shocked.
	They're alarmed.
	But I think there are some questions that we need answers to.
	One is that the perpetrators here, were they homegrown French citizens?
	Were they returning fighters?
	Or has ISIS delivered on its promise and smuggled, via the people smugglers, smuggled hardened ISIS operatives?
	So what this guy is saying is that this was a coordinated attack in three places at the same time.
	Poor old Tunisia on the beach, which I think was the best one.
	Did you see any of that amateur cell phone footage?
	Yeah.
	Who knows, but it looked like bodies everywhere.
	It was a good one.
	It was in a Blair Witch Project kind of way.
	And then we had the guy who drove the vehicle into the factory and chopped the guy's head off.
	It's boss's head.
	Was it the boss?
	Yeah.
	Nice.
	The boss of the factory or something along those lines, because that's an American company.
	Some of the outlets in Canada and UK, they emphasize that.
	None of the outlets in the United States said anything about it.
	Who cares?
	It's an international operation.
	It's not an American company.
	And then all of them, at least all the American outlets, emphasized, oh, July 4th's coming out.
	Be on the lookout.
	There's going to be something going on.
	And the TSA, or not the TSA, but the Homeland Security is warned to be extra vigilant.
	And they always say, although they got no reports of anything.
	And her head is gone.
	I think Fourth of July, if we follow the script, we need to see a decapitation here.
	And notice it's now a decapitation instead of beheading.
	That's also subtle.
	I don't think there's going to be anything on the 4th of July.
	This has happened every year.
	How annoying.
	Because the six-week cycle says it should be in and around the 15th of July.
	And there's no reason to break up the cycle just because it's the 4th of July.
	Because most of these guys are going to be on vacation.
	You're on vacation.
	You're taking a four-day weekend.
	You're in the FBI. You've got a four-day weekend coming up.
	And maybe you can take a fifth day on sick leave.
	You've got a five-day vacation coming up.
	You're not going to set up any scam for the 4th of July.
	Forget it.
	We're not doing it, boss.
	With people across from Libya into the continent of Europe.
	And that begs another question, which is that these apparent multiple attacks, are there others that they're waiting to initiate again in this month of Ramadan?
	I mean, I'm frankly very surprised.
	I look at these issues every day.
	I'm very surprised that we in the United Kingdom haven't yet faced something as severe.
	We're very lucky.
	It does go to our security services and to the police forces to keep us safe.
	But we are overdue an attack here, too.
	Overdue.
	It's overdue.
	Overdue, I say.
	Overdue, says this guy from the think tank.
	It's like a weather report.
	This is bullcrap, overdue.
	It's overdue.
	It's overdue for rain here in California.
	Well, you could say that.
	It's true.
	But you can't equate the two.
	You can't use weather analogies to determine any of this stuff.
	Oh, we're overdue.
	We're overdue for World War III. Now, this does come on the heels of something that you, of course, picked up.
	You had a clip on it, I believe, about the NSA spying on the French.
	Yes, which was developed, I believe, by the Russians.
	Well, the work that's going out...
	Because it was not a thing that followed suit.
	Well, the question is, is there perhaps...
	This new leak, the question is, is this perhaps from a different source?
	What's the new leak?
	Well, it was this NSA... Yeah, it's from Russia.
	That's the source.
	Right.
	But it's not necessarily from Snowden.
	You think it's all Russia regardless?
	No, it's not from Snowden.
	There's no chance it's from Snowden.
	Right.
	Because it wouldn't have showed up on WikiLeaks if Snowden already gave away everything and nobody, you know, confirmed it was from Snowden.
	They would have said it was from the Snowden pack of goodies.
	Right.
	They said, no, it just showed up on WikiLeaks, and it's the Russians.
	The Russians are the ones who planted this.
	The same way the Russians planted the fuck the EU comment, which was bugged by the Russians, and they pushed that out there to cause trouble.
	And now they push this out there to cause trouble.
	And now the French are so irked, they say, you know, we'll take Snowden and Assange, and we'll give them asylum if they want to come to France.
	Which, by the way, I would, if I was one of those two guys...
	In a heartbeat.
	A heartbeat.
	Yeah.
	What do you think?
	Oops, wrong one.
	Ah!
	That was the...
	Sorry.
	But that's all just, again, the Russians just doing everything they can to...
	And I have to say...
	Let me just finish with one thought.
	Once Snowden is out, what are we going to do about this grudge we've got against Russia?
	Now we have to think of some new rationale.
	Gays.
	There's always the gays.
	It's the go-to.
	It's the go-to.
	It always works.
	I think they're beating the drum too much with Russia.
	And the Russians are causing trouble.
	They've got to be stopped.
	We've got to get it together, get a little diplomacy going here so we don't have this thing going on with Russia.
	This is not good for anything.
	Yeah, Putin has now said that they have to stop the Ukraine gas discount.
	They have to pay full price now.
	Of course, that makes sense.
	They get new money, and so you might as well say, full price.
	It's all EU money anyway.
	That's just the way it always works.
	Oh, you're getting paid twice as much?
	I will take twice as much.
	Yeah, there's a couple new websites I found that do, that report on, I'll find the name for you, they report on government IT, government information technology, and there was this article, just speaking of government for a moment, the Pentagon is going to move to, or they're hoping it says, going to move to a single service provider for all of their IT needs.
	What?
	Yeah.
	They should do it in-house.
	Are they nuts?
	So the standardizing IT infrastructures will enable end-to-end network and security posture and improve operational coordination across departments and geographies, according to Greg Garcia, the Army's Information Technology Agency Executive Director.
	The consolidation is an effort to cut out redundancies in how the Pentagon delivers IT services across its vast bureaucracy.
	After a month-long study of the IT costs of the Pentagon Reservation and National Capital Region, a memo from Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Wark made the single-service provider, SSP, a policy official.
	And, of course, the question is, who's going to be the single provider?
	And that seems by itself a huge security risk.
	They have to do this in-house.
	The government should not be using outside people for doing government work like that.
	I hear you.
	That was Snowden.
	Yeah, I hear you.
	Well, there's trouble.
	And part of it, there's something that...
	What's that douchebag's name?
	Who's in on this?
	Chertoff.
	They are implementing something called...
	Yes.
	They're about to implement Einstein...
	I think Einstein III... Yeah, I know.
	It's the Einstein program.
	Intrusion detection system that monitors the network gateways of government departments and agencies in the United States for unauthorized traffic.
	That can't be bypassed.
	There's no way to beat that.
	It's got the name Einstein, huh?
	Upon its creation, Einstein was an automated process for collecting, correlating, analyzing, and sharing computer security information across the federal...
	And giving you a false sense of security.
	...across the federal civilian government.
	Einstein does not protect the network.
	Oh, it just tracks it.
	So here's what...
	It collects data, including...
	It honks a horn.
	It's like, oh boy, hold on a second.
	Packet length protocol IP address.
	It's like router logs that they're selling.
	Nice.
	It's pretty good.
	Autonomous number system, so that's your in-network numbering system, ASN. ICOM type and code.
	So that's the type of packets.
	Packet length protocol.
	Source and destination IP. Source and destination.
	This is a Cisco router log file they're selling.
	Then we have two, Einstein 2, They're selling a log file.
	They are!
	Calling it Einstein.
	Look at this.
	There's a bunch of log entries.
	Einstein is smart.
	How do you know all that stuff?
	I wish it was an acronym they had for Einstein.
	That would have been even funnier.
	Anyway, Einstein 3 is now going.
	This is being discussed.
	And this will prevent attacks by, quote, shooting down an attack before it hits its target.
	Oh, really?
	It's Pentagon, guys.
	They have to use this.
	They can't think of these things in any other terms.
	Cyberspace is a matrix of stuff.
	It doesn't quite happen like a missile that you're not going to shoot down before it hits its target.
	They morons.
	The NSA is moving forward to begin a program known as Einstein 3, which will monitor, quote, government traffic on private sector sites.
	Oh.
	Hmm.
	AT&T is being considered as the first private sector site.
	Oh, there you go.
	Yeah.
	What was the name of that smelly wind?
	What was the...
	Stink wind.
	What was the name of that thing?
	Benny was a part of.
	Stellar wind.
	Stellar wind?
	Stellar wind.
	Stellar wind.
	The program plan which was devised under the Bush administration is controversial, indeed, given the history of the NSA and warrantless wiretopic scandal.
	So this is what Cherdhoff is now pushing for very, very hard.
	More Keystone cops.
	Yeah, sure.
	Sure.
	And then we have DHS, who actually have a bill, I think in the House, for Eagle 2.
	These guys in there, if it's not Einstein.
	Eagle 2 at work.
	47 agencies face possible login credential exposure.
	Here we go.
	What is this about?
	Wait, no, no, no.
	Down here.
	Eagle 2.
	The government accountability...
	Okay, EGLE 2.
	So, Senate panel is waiting on Einstein.
	So, it's in committee if we're going to implement Einstein 3.
	Then we have...
	This is funny.
	I love this.
	Oh, check this out.
	Here it is.
	Department of Homeland Security's EGLE 2 program.
	This is...
	It's an acronym.
	You want to give it a shot?
	EGLE? Every account going long.
	E-A-G. Every account going long everywhere.
	Not even close.
	EGLE stands for Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for Leading Edge Solutions.
	That's EGLE. I know.
	Is there an S on EGLE? No.
	No, I know.
	That's EGLE. I know, but they call it EGLE. Huh.
	It's a suite of strategically sourced information technology services and contracts to build small businesses.
	Oh, brother.
	To build small businesses.
	You know how this works.
	Tell me.
	Cream up some bull crap and sell it to the government.
	This sounds good.
	What do you think the budget is for Eagle 2?
	$30 million.
	That's what the Navy's paying Microsoft to maintain Windows XP. No, what is the budget which the general government accountability offers?
	$1 billion.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, no.
	$22 billion.
	What?
	What kind of...
	How come we're not in on these scams?
	Because we're stupid.
	We're podcasters.
	Podcasting at work.
	$22 billion.
	That's a lifetime employment contract.
	Yep.
	As of March of 2015, Department of Homeland Security has already issued...
	And it won't work!
	No, has already issued 74 Eagle II task orders, and that by itself, just these 74 Eagle II task orders, amounts to $591 billion.
	Now, most of it went to small businesses.
	Which is the point.
	This is why Chertoff is all jumping up and down.
	These guys are quote-unquote small businesses.
	So this is what we should be doing.
	We should put a little small business together and get us some of this $22 billion.
	Yeah, we need to.
	We need to do one little specialty thing that no one else can do.
	We've got enough geniuses to listen to the show.
	Maybe we could just be a jingle.
	We could put together a team, a tiger team.
	We could just be a jingle production house for them.
	They've not bought our first product.
	No.
	I thought that was just...
	I thought that was pretty cool.
	Yeah, well, it just makes you sick.
	In the United States of Euroland, we have...
	Let's see.
	Two reports.
	Obviously both Greece-related.
	I'll just play them.
	Here we go.
	There may be applause in Athens, but reactions in Brussels seem to tell a different story.
	The president of the Eurogroup has announced financial aid for Greece will stop, full stop, on Tuesday night.
	Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis says he believes a deal can still be struck, despite Jeroen Dyselbloom's statement.
	The Greek government has broken off the process, has rejected the proposals and is now putting them, which is also an unfair way to put it to the Greek people, putting them now to the Greek people.
	Give them all the shit.
	The Greek people take it, you know.
	Fuck them.
	Your best voice.
	That's a negative advice, but the Greeks, they don't want to do it, so we're not going to eat in Greek restaurants.
	Fuck them.
	Given that situation, I think we must conclude that, however regretful, the programme will expire on Tuesday night.
	Stuck between a rock and a hard place, some might say the onus is on the Greek people to decide whether or not to accept the deal proposed by the country's international creditors.
	Varoufakis is calling for better proposals.
	However, Deiselbloom has said in no uncertain terms that the plans laid out have already offered the maximum flexibility possible.
	So the Greek people are anticipating and ready, and they're doing that by withdrawing as much money from the ATMs as possible.
	Yeah, they're trying to get a run on the banks.
	I don't know who's causing this, but they're doing a pretty good job of it.
	I have two reports on this.
	Good.
	I have the local report, which is done by freelancers, and this is local news that would be probably pretty close to what the government wants the public to hear.
	The concern, though, is that they were carried out by Islamic radicals loyal to ISIS. And this is a serious concern for you.
	You've got the wrong clip.
	It says local report on Greece.
	And that's the clip?
	Uh-huh.
	Well, that one's dead.
	Unless the Greeks are being attacked by ISIS. I thought this was something.
	I was readying up clip of the day.
	If you're going to connect this to ISIS, this is great.
	Yeah.
	Alright, let's go to the other one.
	This is the Greek report, and this is promoting the run on the banks.
	Port for the Prime Minister.
	The weekend is always busy here, as Athenians stock up for the week ahead.
	For pensioners, these are anxious times, but nobody can be sure what the next few days have in store, or whether a referendum will even solve Greece's problems.
	Let's leave Europe now.
	We've had it with all these agreements.
	How am I meant to answer this question when no one is explaining it?
	What would happen if we go back to the drachma, and what happens if we stay in the euro?
	I think it's a great mistake.
	If you owe so much money, you cannot afford to be so arrogant.
	Meanwhile, unusual cues building up at the cash machines.
	Some Greeks are getting nervous.
	It's not yet panic but a significant number of Greeks are taking no chances with their own money.
	The government is trying to sound reassuring but the remorseless logic of the situation is this.
	The more Greeks take fright, the more trouble the banks will be in.
	The government is also appealing for unity, but the danger is that Greeks are increasingly polarized as to how their country can emerge from this crisis.
	Barnaby Phillips, Al Jazeera, Athens.
	Yeah, that's how you do it.
	That's how you do it.
	Get everyone all jacked up.
	I think I have a report from the...
	Another one.
	Maybe they do it in this report as well.
	It's being widely reported that the European Central Bank may decide to cut off its emergency lending to Greece.
	Media reports suggest the bank will make the decision at an emergency meeting of its governing council.
	I love that.
	Media reports.
	They don't even go to the source anymore.
	Media reports.
	Probably true.
	Wherever the newspapers say it's built.
	Yes, probably true.
	On Sunday afternoon.
	The news will add to the already deep anxiety in Greece.
	The country's banks depend on the ECB's emergency liquidity assistance to function.
	Observers say if the emergency funding is cut off, banks may be closed in Greece on Monday.
	Capital controls may then have to be brought in.
	That's pretty blatant right there.
	Ah, get there quick!
	You're running out of money!
	Without more funds, Greece will default on a 1.6 billion euro loan repayment owed to its international creditors by this Tuesday.
	The Eurogroup refused to extend Greece's next bailout beyond Tuesday.
	They blamed Greek Prime Minister Alex Tsipras' call for a referendum on the conditions of the deal.
	It will be held on July the 5th.
	There you go.
	The referendum.
	It's as if this was supposed to happen last Monday.
	We talked about it on the DHM plug show.
	Everything pulled back and it wasn't going to happen.
	It was pretty obvious that things were going to level out.
	Change, yeah.
	Yeah.
	And then we're back to this again, and it's almost as if somebody's pulling a bunch of strings in the background.
	I would wonder who.
	It's either the United States or Russia to get this to happen.
	I'm almost thinking Russia to get, because they're the ones who could benefit.
	Well, Russia would make sense.
	They're doing deals for the pipelines.
	Yeah, they would benefit a lot.
	They already have Cyprus.
	They bring some money, and they've got plenty of money.
	Their balance sheet is fine.
	They've got cash.
	It's not as bad as everybody makes it out to be.
	And so they could come in and bail Greece out and then be kind of like, eh, you know, we had to do it because you guys are all screwed up.
	And because these reports, every one of them, I have one from El Jazeera, I have one from the CBC, Canadian Broadcasting, I have local ones, and they're all the same.
	Oh, the bank, oh, the cash machines, get to the cash machines as fast as you can, everyone.
	If you're a Greek, live in the United States, call your relatives and tell them to take money out while they can.
	Right.
	And a lot of people have believed that if they went back to the drachma, the Greeks would then hoard...
	This was actually discussed by Summers, Larry Summers, in that interview he did with Charlie Rose, who says this would be a bad idea.
	He says that if they went back to the drachma, it would really be a problem because the Greeks would now take all the euros they could get a hold of and hoard them because they know those will be worth something.
	And of course, that takes all the money out of circulation and all you have is this crazy drachma which has no basis to exist.
	I forwarded you the note from the ex-banker from New York and he said, forget about it.
	They've got it.
	It's no default.
	It's not going to happen.
	I followed up with him and he said, euro is going to spike.
	Well, the euro is going to spike.
	He said a target of 118.
	What has the euro spiking got to do with any of this?
	Just investment opportunities.
	Let's take a look at the euro.
	He said 118 is his target.
	118?
	Well, that's up.
	I think it's 111 right now.
	Let me find out.
	That would be a nice 4% jump.
	I'd take it.
	Well, for currency, it moves at all.
	And it's been moving all over the place.
	Well, I'll keep an eye on that, because right now, get this off the screen.
	It's $1.11.5, so it's $1.11.5 right now.
	So he thinks it's going to $1.18.
	It could.
	It's not impossible.
	But something's up, and this is outsiders that are stirring this up.
	I agree with Russia.
	I think that you're spot on.
	They're trying to put the Turkish stream together.
	They'd like it to enter through Greece to go into Europe.
	Greece would be perfect for Russia.
	Yeah.
	It solves lots of problems.
	It does.
	And they share orthodox religious beliefs.
	It's got Russia written all over it.
	Yeah.
	I think we're becoming flat-footed here with John Kerry and his...
	They don't know what they're doing.
	And now we're embroiled with the talks with Iran, which are going nowhere.
	Hey, could Russia annex Greece like they did Crimea?
	I don't think they'd want it.
	That would cause too much trouble.
	But they would just become partners.
	Have them join the Warsaw Pact.
	Yeah, perfect.
	Perfect.
	I'm going to show my support 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.
	You have some people to thank.
	And of course, an example of the random number theory.
	Oh no, I take it back.
	It's not.
	It's Mark Plager.
	Mark Pugner came in from Shamsburg, Illinois, with the highest amount of $199.33, just under the number, for some reason.
	We don't know why.
	Mark Plager, which I could have been Pugner, in Beaver Creek, Ohio, $132.31, and he has a note here.
	He wants some travel karma, as he has to Tokyo in a few days.
	But he needs to mainly call out Dieter Archer and Kevin Porter as tremendous douchebags.
	Douchebag!
	For having never donated, at least to my knowledge.
	I don't know if you could be calling people out if you don't know for sure.
	Yeah, you gotta know for sure.
	Yeah.
	Donald Borosky has a note here.
	We have to read his notes when they come in because they come in on the United Federation of Planets letterhead.
	My favorite.
	We must obey.
	It's also WA60MI. Nice.
	I'm sorry, I keep saying zero, but it's W-A-6-O-M-I. I wrote this, I put this in the newsletter, I might as well read it.
	Anyway, thanks to the both of you for battling the fear porn being sold to us every day.
	This is especially important to those of us who are of retirement age, a time when the floodgates of fear are opened fully.
	So, I thought that was worth reiterating.
	That's all right.
	Onward.
	It's scaring old people.
	Scaring old people.
	It's really disgusting.
	That's the new old order, man.
	Scaring old people.
	Yeah, my mother was always scared all the time.
	I had to calm her down.
	But she was scared of the Chinese, right?
	Well, she was scared they were going to buy all the toilet paper.
	Right, right.
	Which?
	That was just a minor fear.
	$100...
	One time I got into a thing with my...
	Did I tell the egg story?
	Please tell the egg story.
	My mom, I said, you know, we're getting...
	I got her some eggs or something.
	She said, oh, these eggs are brown.
	But hey, Mom, good to see you.
	I got you some eggs.
	Is that how it works?
	They're brown eggs.
	We got our own eggs.
	Oh, from the chickens, yeah.
	Oh, no, those brown eggs are no good.
	I said, why?
	She said, oh, they're brown.
	They're polluted.
	That's why they're brown.
	Did she watch Fox News, or what did your mom do?
	I don't know where she got this.
	I said, no.
	No, it's not.
	The brown egg is from a different chicken.
	And then she laughs as if I'm an idiot.
	And she says, it's not the chicken?
	In this kind of awkward way, she should believe brown eggs were the chicken.
	Wait a minute.
	Let me just see.
	So your mom says, you crazy son!
	It's the brown.
	They're brown because they're polluted.
	That's your mom.
	Who?
	Is that you?
	No, that's not me.
	Oh, that's pretty good to laugh.
	Yeah, I'm full of them.
	Those eggs are polluted.
	So Jason Southwell came in with $100 from Pompano Beach, Florida.
	He comes, I think that's what he does every month.
	Wait, we had Kenneth.
	Did you Kenneth?
	Mikkelbust?
	Oh, Kenneth.
	Sorry.
	Kenneth Shortland Mikkelbust in Edinburgh.
	Also $100.
	And he says, please give my girlfriend's nana some fuck cancer karma.
	So we have to throw that in there.
	You got it.
	Make a note.
	Oystenberga.
	Oystenberga.
	In Rotterdam.
	Rotterdam.
	Rotterdam.
	Oistein Berge.
	Oistein Berge.
	It is not a typical Dutch name.
	My name is Jose Jimenez.
	Oistein Berge.
	Okay.
	In Rotterdam.
	You should check him out.
	Because he's right there living next to your daughter.
	Maybe I will.
	98.76 in the morning, dear Adam and John.
	Hope this money can help the best podcast in the multiverse.
	Okay, we'll give you some job karma at the end.
	Thomas Nussbaum again, 74.15.
	Kalen Nistor in Northville, Michigan, 74.15.
	Okay, here's the deal.
	So I put in a newsletter that if you're an American and you want to celebrate the 4th of July, donate 74.15.
	For July 4th, 2015.
	Got it.
	7-4-15, 4th of July.
	And I also said, I started by saying, Happy Canada Day.
	If you're a Canadian, donate 7-1-15 and we will recreate a virtual version of the War of 1812.
	Ah, yes.
	Who was the winner?
	The Canadians versus the Americans.
	In which we had Indians fighting.
	We had a lot of people fighting.
	What Americans typically don't know is that the Canadians kicked our ass.
	And no one wants to talk about it, except in Canada.
	Alright, so let's see how we do in this epic recreation of the 1812 battle.
	And I'm actually going to give points to Canada, because they have probably one-third the number of listeners that we have in Canada than we have in the United States.
	So their votes should be...
	Arguably a tenth.
	Well, they'd have to be 10x, but we'll see.
	We're going to let this little battle go until after you get back from vacation.
	Nice.
	It'll be going for two weeks.
	Two weeks of this.
	Two weeks for the Battle Royale.
	The War of 1812.
	Redux.
	Thomas Nussbaum is in for 7415.
	Kaylin Nistor in Northfield, Michigan, 7415.
	James Moore of San Pablo, California, right up the street from me.
	He says, you and Adam are the real patriots.
	Not those fools the media wants to foist on us.
	Keep up the great shows.
	Hail Apple!
	7415.
	Christopher Jackson, Brownsburg, Indiana.
	7415.
	And he's his first time donor.
	Dame Jennifer Buchanan in Charleston, South Carolina.
	Right in the middle of everything.
	Uh...
	She says that she loves Charleston.
	Charleston's a beautiful town.
	Jason Daniel, 7415, from Dallas, Texas.
	And now Nikki, in Ajax, Ontario, came in with 7340, which has got nothing to do with anything.
	But she did make a note, and I thought I'd pay to play this.
	She's hooked on the show.
	She's a first-time donor.
	She needs a de-douching.
	And I think we should give it to her because her husband hit her in the mouth and we have another team.
	Yeah, send pictures.
	You've been de-douched.
	Alright, so we have the Americans coming in with one, two, three, four, five, six.
	Six donations.
	It's kind of paltry.
	But again, they didn't realize the severity of the situation.
	Because here we go.
	The severity of the situation.
	Yes.
	The severity of the situation.
	They're going to burn down the White House.
	Yeah.
	Sir Robert Goschko.
	They're going to mix up the colors.
	They've already changed the colors these days.
	But they're going to mix them up.
	They're going to do something radical, like put blue first.
	Oh, no!
	Sir Robert Goschko in Sherwood Park, Alberta, 71-15.
	Jonathan Cherko in Saskatoon, my favorite city I've never been to, 71-15.
	Sir Thomas Nussbaum in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
	What?
	He's giving 71-15 to the Canadian side.
	He's a traitor!
	It's a turncoat.
	Yeah.
	Dame Monica Lansing, Drayton Valley, Alberta, 7115.
	Sir Mathieu Helly.
	Mathieu.
	Mathieu Helly in Gatineau, Quebec, 7115.
	Anonymous lesbian, 7115.
	Oh my, how quickly they turn on us, John.
	She is from Canada.
	Oh, well, still.
	She loves you.
	Because she loves you.
	She should be voting for America.
	She loves you.
	You know, she's got to take sides somewhere along the line.
	Upgrade healthcare in-line orthodontics in Louisville, Kentucky.
	Choosing Canada, 71-15.
	This is just outrageous.
	Sir David Roberts in Norristown, Pennsylvania.
	Another one, 71-15.
	He says, United the Yellow Rose.
	Well, he's maybe just celebrating Canada Day, but we have to count it as a Canadian donation.
	Douglas Chick in Gatineau, Quebec.
	Another Gatineauian.
	Gatineauia.
	Sir Alan Bowes in Langley, British Columbia, 7115.
	Graham Stanton in Point Cook, Victoria.
	Jennifer...
	Wow.
	Chakalaka-chak.
	Chakalaka-chak.
	Chakalak-chak.
	And she gives 71.15 from Calgary.
	And she says, this idea was just too good.
	And finally, Prescott Johnson in East Mountain, Nova Scotia, 71.15.
	Let's take a total of the Canadians.
	We have six for the United States of America, ladies and gentlemen.
	Six in total.
	And now we go to our tote board.
	Five.
	Our tote board.
	Seven.
	John's at the tote board.
	9, 10, 11, 12, 13.
	Woo!
	13 to 6 is the score.
	And if we have a multiplier in there, it would be 30 to 6.
	Are we going to put the multiplier in?
	We don't need to.
	The Canadians don't need it.
	I'm celebrating for the Canadians.
	Very good, Canada.
	We'll do it with the multiplier at the end of the score.
	Ellen Murray in Missoula, Montana, 69-69.
	She listens while working.
	She's one of those that listens while working.
	Sir Daniel Hunter in Mountain Ranch, California, double nickels on the dime.
	Nicholas Bexrud in Portland, Oregon, 55-10.
	Josh McDonald, also 55-10, parts unknown.
	And the rest of these are all...
	Sorry, Eric Hochul in Berlin, Deutschland, 50-10.
	$52.
	Now, the rest of these are all $50, starting with Jason Fortune in Geneva, Illinois.
	David Duval in Malta, New York.
	Gerald Inabene in Union, South Carolina.
	Inabene.
	Inabene?
	Peter Totes, Parts Unknown.
	We know where he is.
	I don't remember.
	Ross Turpin in Troy, Kansas.
	Peter Norwood in Morrisville, North Carolina.
	Brian Brin Evans in Berwick, Victoria, Australia.
	And finally, Shad Rich from Abednego, $50.00.
	And Sir Paul of Horseheads.
	And I do have a note from him of some sort.
	What does he say?
	It was worth noting.
	I just got back from dinner.
	The guy at the next table ordered mac and cheese.
	He said he puts no agenda show.
	The young woman on the other side was an up talker.
	Oh no.
	So he's just sitting around, just stewing in his own juices, thanks to our memes.
	She was telling friends and family how she just got back from a conference in Vienna that was attended by Dominique Strauss-Kahn.
	He says, I don't know if the dinner was going to cost me this much.
	I guess much of his soul or something.
	I'm not sure what he lost by this.
	Those are all our donors, producers for show 734.
	We want to thank them and remind everyone that we do have another show coming up and we need constant support.
	Yes, and these credits are, of course, real credits.
	Anyone who is a producer can use this credit on your LinkedIn page or maybe add it to your Facebook or other social media and you'll get jobs.
	Where it seems to help.
	People seem to be interested.
	It's a sexy thing.
	A producer.
	It's nice.
	It's very nice.
	Thank you to our monthlies and thank you to everyone else who donated under $50 for reasons of anonymity.
	It is all highly appreciated.
	As promised, some F Cancer and some jobs.
	Karma?
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs.
	You've got karma.
	And remember us for our Thursday show, partially brought to you from the continent of Europe.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. Sir Mark True celebrates tomorrow, turning 42 years old.
	Sir Gadget Virtuoso says happy birthday to his son Gabriel, turned 12 on June 27th.
	And Peter Norwood says happy birthday to Sir Christopher Hefley.
	And we say happy birthday to all of you.
	From Uncle John and Adam here, the best podcast in the universe.

	Yeah, here it comes.
	Nice.
	IntelliArmor, LLC. Step forward.

	I have a note that I don't know if I've read, but I'm going to read it again, or not read it again, because I haven't read it out loud in the first place.
	This is a $133 write-in note.
	This is from John Stevens in Laguna Woods.
	We talked about...
	And Laguna Woods, he donated last show, and Laguna Woods I was mentioning because it's part of the Laguna Cities area.
	There's a bunch of Lagunas, Laguna Beach being the most expensive.
	But I don't remember reading that he's been a douchebag for a while, and he realized that the reason for the success of his 61-year marriage, this guy's been married for a while.
	Was his wife was born in 1933.
	She always says, quote, she and Hitler.
	That's the full quote?
	Yeah.
	But Hitler wasn't born in 1933.
	Yeah, I think he was.
	Oh.
	No, no, no, no.
	47 years old?
	He was a teenager.
	No, no, that wouldn't make any sense.
	No, that wouldn't make any sense.
	Hmm.
	So I was baffled by this note.
	Something about Hitler.
	This is always good for the show.
	He was born on the 20th of April, 1889.
	1889.
	It's not even close.
	She and Hitler.
	You maybe want to inform your wife that she's been misled for a number of years.
	She's been duped, I tell you.
	A couple of articles that I've had kind of in the back of my system here, which will be in the show notes, of course, at 734.noagendanotes.com.
	Just when we thought...
	Uh-oh.
	Yep.
	The international energy statistics data has been updated through February of 2015 by the EIA.
	And all data in the charts show that we are nearing the peak.
	We're just about at the peak.
	And this was like a Yahoo News report.
	So someone's pushing.
	Somebody didn't get the memo about this.
	It's not working.
	This peak oil thing just doesn't work.
	Hey, buddy.
	Yeah.
	Tap, tap, tap.
	Are you familiar with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory?
	The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory?
	Yeah, PNNL. I haven't been to it.
	Are you familiar with what they do?
	I don't know.
	They create a lot of pro-climate change, man-made climate change documentation and studies.
	Oh, cool.
	It's a laboratory.
	And we have someone on the inside.
	Ah!
	Anonymous, and I'm not going to mention Anonymous' position within the PNNL. No, you shouldn't.
	Can't do that.
	However, I will read the email from Anonymous.
	I think there was a follow-up that came in today as well.
	Yes, okay.
	As a dweller in the Pacific Northwest myself, I think I should have gotten this email.
	You have the Martha Stewart joke, so I'd be happy with that.
	I wanted to share something.
	On my first day at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, the chief operating officer of the lab talked to me and some other people as part of our orientation.
	He said something that I think needs to be shared.
	He said, I'm not going to tell you that global warming is real or that climate change is real.
	He went on to tell us that a lot of climate research goes on at the lab, but I thought it was pretty significant that one of the top scientists at the top climate research lab would admit this up front.
	Normally, I just put this out on social media and YouTube, but the lab has a policy about making political statements while identifying as someone who works at PNNL.
	I don't want to lose this job before I even get started.
	I figured you guys might find it interesting.
	Yes, I find this highly interesting.
	They're lying.
	And here he sent me an email from the...
	They're on the tit that you have to just suck it.
	It means they've got to say certain things or the thing dries up on them.
	Well, he also, our insider, our anonymous PNNL insider, has said there's a new term that I think might amuse you that I'm seeing everywhere.
	You're going to write this one down, John.
	Ready?
	Could be a show title.
	No, it's way too...
	No, it cannot be a show title.
	Not going to happen.
	Global climate change caused by anthropogenic drivers of emission scenarios.
	Wow, that's not going to catch on.
	Let me write it down again.
	Global climate change caused by anthropogenic drivers of emission scenarios.
	Anthropogenic drivers.
	Yeah, so that would be man-made drivers, which could be anything.
	Drivers.
	Yeah, but it doesn't mean car drivers.
	It means things pushing...
	Pushing, yes.
	Pushing, yeah.
	Of emission scenarios.
	So I guess it's the drivers, things that are...
	Man-made things that are pushing emission scenarios.
	A scenario is not a fact or a scientific repeatable experiment.
	A scenario is...
	It's just a sketch, isn't it?
	It's just an outline.
	It's a scene.
	It's a scene, yeah.
	It's an outline of something that might be.
	Wow, that's pretty complex.
	That's interesting.
	I'll look into that.
	Let me put it into the Google.
	Oh, see where it pops up.
	Probably you're going to find the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
	There's a lot to type in.
	Okay, well, you can do half this.
	Take the next 10 minutes and talk about something like that.
	Type this in.
	No, that's okay.
	That's okay.
	I just thought it was nice that we have an insider.
	Oh, there is another cool website, and I do want people to look at that.
	Wait, wait, I'm still typing.
	I have to type over the microphone, which makes it difficult.
	I thought you told me to do something for myself.
	Yeah, but you told me to type something else in.
	Okay, all right.
	There's a link in the show notes to populartechnology.net, which has an entire library categorized by just almost any topic you can imagine on climate change.
	And this library includes 1,350 peer-reviewed papers supporting skeptic arguments against man-made climate change, man-made global warming.
	And these are good.
	And they have them organized by region.
	They have them organized by Antarctica, Arctic, climate-centered clouds, coral reefs.
	There's papers on the Roman warming period, the medieval warm period, ocean acidification.
	Every single thing that is being touted as fact and true, these are peer-reviewed papers that suggest the opposite or suggest that they are just alarmism.
	This is a good resource.
	Okay, this doesn't exist, but there's a bunch of special reports floating around on emissions scenarios, which is worth looking at.
	Okay.
	Anything good?
	Anything we need to look at now?
	No, no, no.
	We have to do some reading.
	Okay.
	I think we can move ahead.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	I got a little report on future trains.
	Oh, we need to play our...
	All aboard!
	Trains good!
	Planes bad!
	Does it need set up?
	Yeah, I have to set it up.
	This was a special report on the future of trains, and they had all these different kinds of crazy trains, including ones that go through magnetic loops and all the rest, and they all go pretty fast.
	You know, 1905 passed.
	But I just thought the way this report, this is the end of the report, I just thought it kind of ended flat.
	We think about trains.
	To be jumping through hoops, we'll be racing through them at lightning speeds.
	Floating, flying, or fluffy, the tracks of tomorrow are bound to be very different.
	But one of the most surprising things about future trains may be where they'll get their power.
	From sewage.
	Yeah.
	Poop train!
	Nice!
	Okay.
	Now we need somebody to do this song, Love Train, and make it Poop Train.
	Come on, all.
	The Poop Train.
	The only good phone's a landline, and the phone should be made out of Bakelite.
	All right, everybody, time for tech news.
	That's what we do here on Sundays in the best podcast in the universe.
	We got tech news.
	Not the tech corny stuff, but stuff that people really care about.
	Dude's name Ben, like it.
	It's tech news.
	Tech news.
	I'll start off with a little bit of tech news with a dude named Ben.
	Not hearing much about this, but of course we had some missing emails from the IRS. And lo and behold, it turns out they've been deleted, John.
	Deleted.
	After an order to preserve evidence, the Internal Revenue Service says it erased hundreds of backup tapes containing tens of thousands of Lois Lerner emails.
	Testifying before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration's Office says there are still up to 24,000 unrecovered Lerner emails.
	After promising to provide Congress all of Lerner's emails, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said his agency lost or destroyed two years worth of her electronic correspondence.
	Koskinen pledged his agency would attempt to recover those lost emails.
	However, the Inspector General says the IRS failed to search several sources for learner emails, like backup tapes, hard drives, and learner laptops, sources that he says ultimately produced previously undisclosed emails.
	Oops.
	Who the hell, what dude named Ben erases backup tapes?
	Oh.
	Someone told to?
	Yeah.
	This is not normal.
	Can you use like one of these big giant magnet or something?
	Because I don't know if we're going to get this data off here.
	Those things called degausser.
	Yeah, degausser.
	We call it degausser.
	Degausser?
	That's what I always called it, degausser.
	Degausser.
	I think that's a different pronunciation.
	We have to look it up.
	But anyway, I used to have one of those.
	They're great.
	Yeah.
	A giant magnet.
	You put the tape on top of it, push the button, turn the tape.
	This thing is dead empty.
	Yeah.
	There's no residual nothing.
	And do you remember how you held that big block, and if you were erasing a cart, like an 8-track cartridge jingle cart, you have to look that up for people who don't know who we're talking about.
	Radio stations had an 8-track on an infinite loop.
	And you could put a jingle on that and it would have a tone on one of the tracks and it would stop and be queued up and you hit the button and it would play immediately.
	Jingle cartridge.
	Cart.
	Yeah, those are the good ones.
	Nowadays?
	Yeah, it's all just on my iPad.
	You're talking about tech news.
	I just wanted to say that when you degauss, you had to slowly keep pressing the button.
	You move it around, but then you had to slowly move the cartridge away from the magnet before you turned it off.
	Did you not do that?
	I'm talking about I used them for reel-to-reels.
	Same thing.
	I never erase carts.
	I never use carts.
	I don't have anything to do with them.
	All right.
	So I didn't know that, but I can imagine because it made a pop or something?
	Yeah, it would leave residual stuff on it, so you had to move it away slowly, so it really would feel...
	Is that absolutely true?
	You think someone was just kidding, giving you bull crap, so you'd say, hey, watch this, watch this, pull it away slowly.
	No, I'm pretty sure that it actually made a difference.
	I'm pretty sure.
	It made a difference, John, it did.
	And then you have to slap your ass.
	Have to pull the cart away.
	Okay.
	Alright.
	You were going to say something?
	I'm going to complain.
	We do the tech news and I... So I try...
	I get it.
	What?
	This really bothers me.
	And this is something that's been going on since.
	I've been writing about tech forever.
	And years ago, I mean years ago, like 10 years ago, when you called Wagner, Edstrom, or one of these public relations companies, I don't know what they were running, Windows 95, I'm not sure.
	And you talked to anybody there.
	They had a computer at their desk, like all of them still do.
	And they would type your name in, and boom, a database would come up about you.
	It's kind of like, you know, Salesforce does this sort of thing and, you know, Goldmine and all these programs.
	And they knew who you talked to last.
	It was real data.
	Oh, I used to have, do you remember ACT? ACT was one of them.
	ACT was cool.
	I remember using ACT. And so they bring you up and say, oh yeah, we sent you this, we sent you that.
	They know everything about you.
	Is this still your shipping address?
	And they give you your address.
	Yeah, yeah, it still is.
	And so they update the file and that would be that.
	About, I don't know, two years ago, three years ago, you call them up, they don't know who you are.
	I said, what about, type me into the database.
	What database?
	So as we've progressed...
	Like these big companies.
	I mean, this is Microsoft's number one public relations agency.
	They have to keep track.
	Nah, they don't keep track of anything.
	Don't care.
	Wow.
	It's just stunning.
	Because it's so easy to get PR, I guess, at this point?
	No, I don't even think it's because it's easy to get PR. Right now, it's too much trouble to even try because of bloggers.
	They came in and we have to give bloggers stuff.
	They just gave up.
	I think it's like they all threw up their arms and said, we don't need to do anything.
	We'll call and we'll just try to make it happen if we can.
	Are you disappointed in this development because you can no longer get free stuff?
	No, it's not a matter of getting free stuff.
	I can still get free stuff, but now I have to go through more of a rigmarole.
	Is this your Adobe problem?
	It stuns me, the inefficiency of it.
	It's not that I can't get free stuff, it's like I can't efficiently get free stuff.
	Then you have to explain who you are.
	Can you send me your bio?
	Okay, here's my bio.
	Oh, okay.
	Oh, podcaster.
	They don't know anybody.
	It's astonishing.
	You do a podcast?
	No, he can't give you any free stuff.
	All this progress that has been made You go through all this trouble of putting this elaborate database together, and someone comes along, we're upgrading to this and that, the database won't work anymore, we've got to start from scratch, we can't migrate it.
	That's what happened.
	Right.
	What's the point?
	What is the point of any of this crap if that's the end result?
	Oh, we can't migrate it, the database is no good anymore, we've got to upgrade.
	Yeah, it's true.
	Yeah, that's fantastic.
	It's true.
	There are companies now that have taken over this.
	I know from the nonprofit sector, there's companies that give you everything, your newsletter and your donor database.
	And I know three nonprofits that use this.
	What is the name of that company again?
	And so, you know, Blackboard.
	I think it's not Blackboard.
	Is that what it's called?
	I think it's called Blackboard.
	Yeah, Blackboard, solutions for associations.
	Is that it?
	That's going to be a dead end.
	Oh, but it's horrible.
	It's horrible because they track your donors and everything.
	It's a single point of failure.
	You kind of have to do the way they do it.
	People think, oh, it's easy because it's cloud-based and I don't have to worry about anything.
	Oh, that makes it better.
	But then trying to customize or get something done, you have to call support.
	It's not all that hard.
	You know, newsletters, although we use MailChimp, but when you have, you know, when you're really using the full spectrum of solutions, and then you're no better than the other guy, and Lord knows what's happening on the inside.
	I have this, there was a...
	It's problematic, you know, you need to decentralize this stuff.
	Pronto!
	Well, even when you have, and the cloud thing is actually making things more screwy and confusing.
	I just got into a dialogue, which all of a sudden abruptly ended, with Seagate.
	Hey, I want my free stuff!
	I want my free stuff.
	You should call him up as God.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	Hello, Seagate here.
	Hello, Seagate here.
	Great one in the sky.
	Oh, great one in the sky.
	Tell this story.
	So, they've got some new offering, which is you buy a 5 gigabyte One of those little drives you can plug in.
	SSID? SSD? Actually, I think they're moving the SSIDs pretty strongly.
	I think this is going to be the hard disk because days are numbered, but it's so much cheaper still to have a hard disk.
	So, they have this product and then it has...
	As some part of this product, this backup system, you get 200...
	I don't know why they did this deal.
	You get 200 gigabytes free cloud storage on OneDrive.
	Which is the Microsoft.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Which I've been playing with.
	It has issues.
	It has a 20,000 file limit, so you get to about 80 gigabytes and you're done.
	Where's my terabyte?
	I don't get my terabyte.
	Oh, files.
	Interesting.
	Yeah, it's a little gotcha that they don't talk about.
	Nobody in these tech...
	Tech...
	Tech horny.
	Phones, they never mention this.
	So they're going to fix that, though.
	Okay, they're going to fix it.
	So my question with Seagate was, okay, I have a terabyte, supposedly, on OneDrive already, because I use the Office 365, and will this combine with that?
	Will I now have a terabyte.2, you know,.1,.2?
	Mm-hmm.
	And I'll get back to you, so he gets back to me.
	Yeah, yeah, it's all a part of the same.
	Okay, so now I've just grown my terabyte to 1.2 because of this disk drive.
	Then I ask the question, okay, now, let's say I got sick of using Microsoft Office 365, and I'm going to reclaim my data, but you're still going to have the 200 on there, but I have to take the terabyte off somehow and put on the backup driver, whatever.
	Don't worry, we'll just delete your account.
	So my question was, what part of this entire mess of backups I have in the cloud end up staying with the 200 gigs?
	Yeah, which part of the 1.2 stays?
	Yes, that's a question.
	Yeah, I haven't heard back.
	No, I didn't think so.
	They're not answering this question.
	That's my tech news for the day.
	More frustration.
	Well, I just wanted to mention a new product, which I like very much, called Surge.
	And this is for the dude's name, Ben.
	Surge.sh.
	I really like what has happened here.
	You install a command line.
	It's a...
	What is it?
	I guess it's a...
	Maybe it's just a...
	Oh, it's a JSON thing, right.
	So you have to have that installed.
	But, you know, that's pretty standard these days.
	You go to a directory and you type in search, and it will automatically create a URL, a directory, a web server, the whole thing, pushes the content in that directory, in that folder you have, and then propagates it to a CDN. For free.
	Now, of course, they have a paid tier, but the way of the deployment of this, and you can set your own custom C name, it's fantastic.
	So I just wanted to mention that as a product.
	An endorsement from a show that takes no money for endorsements.
	What was the point of it?
	Well, the point is very rapid deployment of a static website or anything you need.
	It's almost like an Amazon bucket in a way, except you're getting the CDN and you have a free tier, which is quite liberal.
	And it's a command line.
	You just type surge and then everything in that directory will be synced right over to the CDN. That's interesting.
	Yeah, it's a nice product.
	It's so simple.
	It works on all platforms, so it's nice.
	Then the ITA... Was it the ITA? Well, you know, ICANN. This is the outfit that manages the domain names, address space, etc.
	The Whois database.
	So we've been following this for a long time about how this would become an international endeavor and it would no longer be...
	Who's that douchebag who was running ICANN living high on the horse?
	From this non-profit.
	High on the horse.
	Yes.
	Go on.
	Yeah, so it looks like the ICANN, when it's transitioned to whatever this new entity will be, will no longer allow private Whois data.
	What does that mean?
	That means you can no longer register a domain name through a third party, which keeps your identity secret.
	Oh, no anonymizers.
	No anonymizers, yeah.
	Ah, well that's a plus.
	The Whois data will be completely exposed and it has to be non-obfuscated for the true owner.
	For us, it's great.
	I think.
	Yeah, I think it is.
	It'll be more of a trail.
	And then, I was ridiculed several years ago.
	You've always been ridiculed.
	That's what happens.
	Could you put that on my plaque when I'm dead?
	He was always ridiculed.
	Okay.
	Okay, thanks.
	Google downloaded or automatically updated all versions of Chrome with a listening piece of code, which they did outside of the open source release of Chromium, and it is enabled by default to For audio capture.
	And they say, oh, we needed this for, you know, for OK Google.
	OK Google.
	OK Google.
	Yeah.
	And so this is now enabled by the microphone, enabled by default, audio capture allowed by default.
	I always said, you watch it, these guys are going to be listening.
	They're putting code in.
	Why wouldn't they?
	Well...
	The way you see, you know, there's lousy mac and cheese.
	I'm not buying this brand anymore.
	What do you think we should get, honey?
	Oh, I don't know.
	No, no, no.
	It's if you have a dog barking in your house, then you get ads for dog food.
	That's about the level they've got.
	I don't think they have the voice processing down.
	Yeah, no.
	And then finally, I want to remind everybody to be prepared, be on the lookout, fill up your bathtubs, put some cash in the refrigerator, in the freezer.
	June 30th, the Mini Y2K, known as the Leap Second of Doom.
	This is going to be a bigger dud than the other one.
	Would it be funny if it wasn't a dud?
	If something really screwed up?
	It would be hilarious.
	It would be great if Google screwed up and Gmail imploded.
	I think that would be nice for a change.
	Squirrel male, I bet you, stays up.
	All right, John, play us out.
	Well, I got one last thing.
	Okay.
	I just thought this was an appropriate story.
	I think it makes nothing but sense.
	This is the SF probation officer.
	A San Francisco youth probation officer is in big trouble tonight after allegedly leaving drugs and a gun behind after a family trip to Disneyland earlier this month.
	Investigators say that Robert Minor left a fanny pack in his Anaheim hotel room and inside a handgun and 45 grams of cocaine.
	Minor was arrested but has since been released to his home in Hercules.
	I hate it when that happens.
	Oh, yeah.
	Law enforcement at work.
	Yeah, I forgot my fanny pack.
	At play.
	45 grams of Coke and a handgun.
	42.
	Oh.
	Damn, I got shortchanged.
	That's enough to sell.
	All right, everybody.
	Thank you very much for tuning in once again to our little program here.
	Thank you for supporting us.
	And please remember that we need all the support we can get from you.
	All the support we can get from you.
	Indeed.
	Indeed.
	And the show will be coming to...
	And the War of 1812 is on!
	Remember, the reenactment of the War of 1812 is on.
	That's right.
	Nice.
	So I'll be leaving tomorrow and prepping from the United States of Gitmo Nation lowlands and bringing you all the news that I can from the continent.
	Coming to you from FEMA Region 6 here in the Crackpot Condo in the capital of the Drone Star State, Austin, Texas.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Hurry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Devorak.
	We'll be back on Thursday right here on No Agenda.
	Adios, Mophos.
	What we need right now is a clear message to the people of this country.
	This message must be read in every newspaper, heard on every radio, seen on every television.
	I want this country to realize that we stand on the edge of oblivion.
	I want every man, woman and child to understand how close we are to chaos.
	I want everyone to remember why they need us!
	Yes, citizen, you may return to your harpsichord.
	Boom shakalaka, go right there!
	While I'm driving off laughing, this is what I'll say.
	ISIS uses social media like a job fair.
	We are killing them.
	Very good at that.
	Good at that.
	Troubled soul.
	Come to the caliphate.
	Read your tweets.
	You must listen to your phone calls.
	NSA is looking out for you.
	Shut up.
	Get in line.
	Run, run, run, run, run!
	And also the security, they all called us to run, run!
	Go into your rooms!
	Run away!
	No no no no no no no no- no no no hey!
	The best podcast in the universe!
