	I'm the queen and she has this rare way of talking this lot.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Sunday, July 26, 2015.
	Time for your Gimo Nation Media Assassination Episode 742.
	This is No Agenda.
	Jade Helm, 15 plus 11 and counting.
	When can I stop counting, I wonder?
	Broadcasting live from the capital of the Drone Star State in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm still counting the July 4th.
	Wait and wait and wait until the disaster.
	I'm John C. DeBoer.
	Okay, this show is unrehearsed.
	Just so you know, the show is unrehearsed.
	I was thinking about that last night.
	I was thinking about that.
	Unrehearsed.
	Sometimes it's good to reiterate how the show comes together.
	People think that we have meetings or production things, table reads, and nothing could be further from the truth.
	No, and my internet connection just went to hell.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, I'll explain how we do it while you jiggle the handle.
	Yeah, why don't you do that?
	Every Thursday and Sunday, John and I come together to do a show.
	He has no idea what I've been working on, no idea what stories, what clips, or any idea of anything I've been thinking about or doing.
	He doesn't know my schedule, doesn't even know where I live, has never been to Austin, Texas, has never been to any of my homes.
	I have been to Austin, Texas.
	Not when I was here.
	Well, I didn't say that.
	Oh, okay.
	And likewise, I have no idea what John is bringing to the table.
	All I get is a...
	A boatload of clips.
	I throw them into a folder.
	I don't look at them.
	Don't listen to them.
	And somehow the magic just happens.
	Huh.
	I never knew that.
	What's your internet connection?
	How does my site sound?
	Because you're breaking up quite a bit.
	Bill, you sound pretty good.
	Oh, never mind.
	They have these little bars now.
	Did you get a Skype upgraded experience?
	Because I got that this morning.
	No, but I'm getting this funny thing where they've decided to feed me ads.
	Yeah.
	They do that anyway.
	But don't we pay for it?
	I pay for Skype.
	Why are they giving me ads if I pay for it?
	I don't pay for it.
	So I get these ads.
	And so I start this earlier, but we started up and the ad comes up for Kohl's.
	It's a woman's store.
	And at the bottom now it says, is this ad useful or relevant?
	This is my favorite, my favorite trick.
	Yeah.
	And so I click no.
	So then I go to full screen.
	That exact same ad crops up.
	Of course, but of course.
	Why would it work otherwise?
	It continues to astound me when you buy something how that is the ad you see everywhere.
	I guess after everybody complained so bitterly, I've not seen that recently.
	Oh, no, I had it.
	What did I buy?
	Clothing.
	Article of clothing.
	Want to buy more pants?
	No, if I wanted to buy more pants, I would have bought them.
	I already bought pants.
	No, they don't even know I bought the pants.
	That's the whole problem.
	They just say, hey, buy these pants you like.
	So they leave data out.
	Well, there's no connection.
	That's where the upsell possibilities.
	That's the real opportunity that everybody's missing.
	Even Facebook doesn't do that.
	Uh-huh.
	No.
	Well, we're going to have to if the donations keep on this kind of a schedule.
	Yeah, and you wrote something in the newsletter, which I agree with, or at least the question is valid, is our lack of opens on the newsletter, which is usually reflected in donations.
	It's a reminder of people.
	Oh, yeah, this is a show.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	They're down.
	They've been down for, what is it now, four weeks?
	Yeah, well...
	And it coincides...
	No, it's since the 4th of July.
	Something happened over the 4th of July.
	They decided to upgrade.
	Yeah, this was Gmail.
	And also Hotmail had some issues.
	I think they all work off the same lists.
	They must.
	I had some issues with my email, too.
	I had to go in and whitelist a couple of things that had shown up on some of these blacklists and graylists that I'm sure are influenced by Google.
	And we're getting screwed.
	And it's not just...
	The email address it's coming from or the subject line, it's also links in the email itself.
	So Google scans through those links.
	If it sees anything that it doesn't like of a link in an email, then it's going to market as spam or quarantine.
	People can't find their email.
	They have to go to, instead of, what is it in Gmail?
	They don't even call it inbox anymore, do they?
	You can limit, you can, promotions tab.
	No, I'm not talking about that.
	You have an all-mail, so there's inbox, and then all-mail.
	And sometimes stuff is routed, and you don't know where it's gone, and you can only find it if you go into the all-mail tab.
	Oh, I don't know this.
	Yeah.
	I do know a couple of things.
	A lot of people do email marketing of all sorts, and it's a nightmare because if you're a legitimate non-spammer, you get lumped in with everybody else because you did something that you didn't know that the spammers are using as a technique.
	Now, here's an interesting little tidbit that I picked up on Based, again, on analyzing the numbers.
	People like it, and I had more than one person say they like the bulleted list.
	Things we're going to be talking about in the next show, and then they have a bulleted list.
	Let me guess.
	That's a spam hook.
	Apparently.
	I lose at least 20% of opens.
	What?
	Bulleted list!
	Spam!
	You know, pretty soon you're going to do a PowerPoint with a bulleted list and your PowerPoint will just shut down.
	It must be a spam PowerPoint.
	Bulleted lists are like an issue.
	I don't know if 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 lists would be better or I don't know.
	But a bulleted list, I think it sees it and it says that must be spam.
	Nobody but a spammer would use a bulleted list.
	People, you need to start looking at alternatives for these huge centralized systems.
	If you really do, you need to find alternatives.
	What's your email guy in his name?
	What's his name?
	Mark Burkell.
	And does he have a service?
	E-Y-M-E. Can anyone get service from him?
	Sorry?
	Can anyone get service from him?
	Yeah.
	No, he sells email service.
	He sells websites, email services.
	Yeah, all right.
	I get it.
	And he's the anti-spam guy.
	But if you have a little...
	Like your family.
	There's probably one guy in your family.
	Here we go.
	Thanksgiving, we will be thanking dudes named Ben.
	And there's probably a dude named Ben, i.e.
	sysadmin, network administrator, someone in your family who knows how to set up an email server, and the family could support him, and he could set it up and run it, and you could all have your own domain names, you could have a family domain name, or whatever you want.
	If there's a guy named Ben in your family, he already has set one up.
	You're good to go.
	A dude named Ben, not a guy named Ben.
	A guy named Ben.
	Speaking of which, oh, I'm sorry, go ahead.
	I have like, you know, my service from Mark has got five, or just pretty much an infant number of boxes if I want to set them up.
	So I set them up for like Mimi.
	And she has it, she uses it once in a while, but 90% of the time she's back on her Gmail account.
	Yeah, and Facebook Messenger.
	And Facebook, right.
	Yeah.
	No, we're doomed.
	Well, hello.
	Why else are we doing this show?
	Just to point it out.
	We point it out on every show that we're doomed.
	I'll tell you how doomed I am.
	When I moved into this place in December, right before Christmas, when I spent a lonely Christmas, I researched which buildings I wanted to live in.
	I had a little bit of time, a couple days.
	And this building that I'm in now, I liked it a lot for the view.
	There's no building being put in front of it.
	No, it's a park, so that's not going to happen.
	Perfect.
	But I saw some Yelp reviews, and they were a little troubling.
	And so, of course, I made a visit to the building and looked around.
	And the Yelp reviews, a couple of them were like, well, this is a really noisy building.
	There's, you know...
	A lot of loud music being played.
	People passed out in their own vomit in the hallways.
	I found a great place.
	And I thought, well, that could be a benefit.
	And so, you know, we're walking around.
	So no evidence of this.
	Until this weekend.
	This weekend, about, I don't know, there must be 100 UT students have moved in.
	There's dudes in the elevator with no shirt on, with beer, and everyone's going to the fifth floor to the sun deck, and there is music loud throughout the building.
	I haven't seen anyone pass out in their own vomit yet.
	And these are kind of like the rich kids of Instagram.
	Oh, not the creeps.
	Yeah, and there's little Kimmy Kardashians in the elevator who have to...
	They can't operate their...
	And, of course, it's all iPhone.
	They can't operate their iPhone 6 because their nails are so long and fragile, so they have to use that flat tap of the finger.
	Have you ever seen that?
	No.
	I'm surprised they don't use an eraser off of a pencil.
	But the dudes with no shirt...
	Come on, stop it.
	Just stop it.
	This is a residential building.
	I think if you can't walk around, if a lady can't walk around without a top, I don't think a guy should either.
	I am going to put this on the building intranet.
	I'm going to say, hey, it's okay if the dudes are naked, if they have bare chests in the elevator, as long as the women do it, too.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And I will start a petition.
	A petition.
	So things have changed there in Austin.
	Yeah, of course.
	We'll see how it goes.
	But, you know, the freight elevator is right now.
	I think they're going back to school, I guess.
	Or getting ready.
	Check the calendar.
	Oh, maybe they are.
	You're right.
	Next month.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's almost time.
	Oh, so you moved.
	Weren't they going to school?
	I moved during winter vacation.
	I guess.
	Yeah.
	I thought maybe spring.
	I saw no evidence.
	But this, and the freight elevator, which is the one I use because I'm in the corner, you know, it's filled with mattresses that look like someone died on them.
	Ugh.
	Disgusting.
	Now, here's something I've picked up.
	We are, of course, the word Nazis.
	We continuously work on ourselves to stop using certain phrases and descriptors that are overused, such as amazing, outrageous, fact of the matter.
	Yeah, no.
	Even soul.
	Remember we had the soul?
	Soul.
	There's a new one.
	You ready for this?
	Now, people...
	I know it's getting difficult, or maybe not difficult, but people hear these things and now you're hearing it everywhere.
	Once we tell you about it, so if you don't want to be bothered, don't listen to this.
	You have an opportunity to turn off the stream.
	One, two, three, go.
	It's so funny.
	This is a phrase...
	Somebody wrote us about a couple of these.
	Well, it's so funny is rampant.
	People are saying, you know, it's so funny that...
	It's so funny that...
	I have not heard this.
	Oh, you'll hear it everywhere now.
	And I think we do it too.
	I think we do it too.
	Oh, no.
	That means that one guy who keeps dogging us is going to put together another clip of us doing it.
	I don't think...
	God, I hope not.
	It's so funny how the elites are trying to kill us.
	The point is, it's not funny.
	It's not funny.
	So, I've come up with the surefire remedy.
	Okay, you start a sentence off with, it's so funny.
	It's so funny.
	I think that's what you do.
	It's so funny.
	Just laugh hysterically.
	It's so funny.
	And then just say, yeah, you're right.
	It was funny.
	You're going to see this.
	You're going to see this everywhere.
	It's so funny.
	Now, I don't know about you, but I received...
	We need a set of clips to prove this point here.
	Oh, you will notice it.
	And it's best when someone starts a sentence off with, it's so funny, and what comes after that is not funny at all.
	That's what is interesting.
	Or just plain wrong.
	But it's hard.
	This is a hard one to break.
	It's another one of those, let me grab your attention for a moment, and listen to me.
	Start our sentences off that way.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Let me grab your attention for a moment.
	I like that.
	Very good.
	I received a lot of emails about the self-esteem movement.
	This really hit a chord, John.
	This was a good piece you did on Thursday.
	It's something that we've been skirting, and I say that because we have that little clip that we like to play, which came from American Dad.
	That's the one...
	Let's grab a...
	Tell a secret.
	Yeah.
	Hold on a second.
	Where is it?
	Uh, yeah.
	This one.
	Oh, there's no winning.
	We don't like to foster a competitive atmosphere, but we laugh a lot.
	Now everyone hug and share a secret.
	Particularly from parents who say, oh, wow.
	You know, I think, oh, wow.
	I said, oh, wow.
	You said, oh, wow.
	I didn't stop you, but you said it.
	Let me interrupt you for a moment and tell you something that I need you to listen to.
	Um, parents who are now, who are very cognizant, but also, and I was like this, particularly on our show, since we have such a range of demographic, I got three emails, at least that I'd like to discuss from millennials who listen to our show, which is nice.
	Yeah, we have quite a few.
	We do.
	None in my family who are millennials would listen, but it's another story.
	This is Rob C. In primary and middle school, we'd get participation ribbons for being part of an event.
	But if you played in a little league, you didn't get anything for losing.
	You got a verbal quote.
	You all put out a lot of effort out there.
	Let's practice and get better.
	By the time I was 13, the self-esteem movement was in full swing.
	A parent in the children's programming known as Barney and Friends...
	Now, I don't know if this is known worldwide.
	Barney, the pink...
	Was he an elephant?
	No, he's purple.
	Purple...
	What was he?
	Dinosaur.
	Purple dinosaur.
	Pink elephant.
	I'm sorry.
	That's a strip club.
	The purple elephant.
	Not an elephant.
	A dinosaur.
	Dinosaur.
	Of course, we have...
	Oh, I should have pulled this song.
	The one...
	You are special.
	You're the only one.
	Oh, I have it on...
	If you went to my YouTube channel, you can look up my Barney clips.
	And I have the animatron Barney.
	You know, I'm not going to ask...
	To the point of four million hits.
	I am just not going to ask why you have Barney...
	A collection of Barney clips.
	Well, I'll tell you why.
	Please do while I look it up.
	It's funny...
	It's so funny.
	When my daughter was, when she was like three, Bill Gates had decided because he had a kid that he was going to build animatronic things.
	And so he, Microsoft, had a couple of products and the main one was this animatron Barney.
	And you could touch it and it would laugh and wiggle and just talk and sing.
	And you could also sit it on top of an induction device, and then you could play computer games with Barney.
	He would be sitting on this induction device, and he would say things that were playing on the game.
	What is an induction device exactly?
	It's like an RFID thing.
	It's like the wireless chargers.
	Yeah, I got you.
	Wireless chargers.
	It's connected, but without wires.
	But not...
	Through radio, it's just through induction.
	Allow me to play the song for a moment, so at least we get an idea.
	I think most people...
	You're important, though you really are.
	You're the only one like you.
	The world is better just because you're here.
	You should know that we love you.
	Because you are special, special.
	Everyone is special.
	All right.
	Everyone is special.
	Okay, well, that wasn't one of the songs.
	Well, let me finish the note.
	Okay, but I just want to say that's why I have this thing, and I think it's a collectible.
	Okay, so, oh, I'm sure.
	Like everything else.
	That's why you are an archivist, Mr.
	Dvorak.
	So you are special.
	You're the only one.
	You're the only one like you.
	There isn't another in the whole wide world who could do the things you do.
	Including Drool.
	And Rob says, I also observed that kids that watched Barney were little shits, and kids that didn't were well-behaved.
	It became apparent that real self-esteem is not from being told that you're great and a winner all the time, it's from actually putting in the effort to accomplish the goal.
	Well, yes, of course.
	And I think there may be some validity to the Barney thing.
	Blame it on Barney.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Blame it on Barney.
	It's possible.
	I mean, and I don't know.
	Most people don't.
	In fact, even my daughter was not a big fan of the Barney show.
	She just liked this animatronic device.
	And I know that nobody in the family ever watched Barney, so our group doesn't seem to have this.
	Now, Christina didn't watch.
	She watched Power Rangers.
	She wanted to be a pink Power Ranger.
	Which I think is much healthier.
	Go out and kick someone's ass.
	Anything but Barney.
	Yeah.
	Anyway.
	That's possible.
	Where's Mr.
	Rogers fit into the picture?
	Oh, miss him.
	What?
	I miss him.
	You said what?
	I miss him.
	Okay.
	He was so gay.
	I don't know.
	Was he really?
	Oh, please.
	Oh, please.
	Yeah, I think so.
	So where are we going with this?
	You started off with the...
	I don't know.
	We went off on a tangent about Barney and then, you know, you were trying to justify your collection of Barney clips and it was downhill from there.
	It was trying to justify.
	Yeah, that's exactly...
	No, really?
	Yeah, that's what you're trying to do.
	Uh-huh.
	Let me see.
	Well, since we're talking about millennials and younger people, this is something that showed up on CNN. This is in response or in regard to...
	What was the woman who hung herself with her feet on the ground in the cell?
	The one in Texas?
	Yeah, was it Texas?
	In the Houston area?
	I think so.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's the one.
	Her...
	Bland, I think, is her last name.
	Yeah, I think so, Bland.
	So, I watched this video, and the video itself, the Dash video from the cop car, the audio is outstanding.
	Is it common practice for cops to wear wireless mics?
	To be mic'd up?
	He was mic'd.
	You could even hear his feet squeaking on the pavement.
	I mean, it's possible that it sounds questionable to me.
	It sounds sketchy.
	In fact, I have a clip later in the show that is the same kind of thing.
	Did they have some audio engineer get involved with this because normally you wouldn't have this sort of a sound?
	Well, the sound is outstanding.
	Of course, you can't see if it syncs to the lips because it's just too far away.
	But let's just take it at face value.
	She's very clear about her rights, and she's very clear about what she does and does not have to do, and I believe her to be initially quite appropriately responsive to...
	You can't talk to cops anymore.
	Well, here's Alan Dershowitz.
	Alan Dershowitz is a renowned lawyer.
	Is he a constitutional lawyer, or is he just a wedding lawyer, a marriage lawyer?
	No, he's a professor of law.
	Oh, professor of law.
	What would you expect a professor of law to discuss on CNN when we're talking about your civil rights, i.e.
	a cop can't just open the door and grab you and force you out and then point his taser at you and say, I'm going to light you up if you don't get out of the car.
	This is not appropriate, certainly not for a failure to signal.
	I know, failure to signal.
	Your left turn blinker was on.
	So listen to this, which I found, and this guy should be, what university is he at?
	He should be fired from the university.
	He's been acting very strange of late.
	He used to be more just pretty standard, kind of left-wing professor with a lockstep opinion of things.
	Now he's gonna, I don't know what's happened.
	I believe he's still at Harvard.
	I think he was always at Harvard.
	Well, he should be removed.
	Tenure revoked.
	I think.
	I'm not sure.
	I don't know if you'll be able to think when you hear what he says here.
	She committed the worst crime possible, contempt of cop.
	I lecture my students, first-year criminal law students, particularly the African-American students.
	I say, you have rights, constitutional rights, you're going to learn about them.
	Do not exercise them when you're arrested by a police officer.
	I'm not blaming the victim here.
	She was not at fault.
	But let young people understand, when a policeman arrests you, it's, yes, sir, what can I do for you, sir?
	Yes, sir, you don't smoke at him, you don't give him any lip back, because you're going to end up on the wrong side of a gun.
	Why do you have to give your black students that advice?
	Because they get into so much trouble if they don't do it.
	We live in a racist society in which police officers often engage in this kind of conduct when you're contemptuous, and when you're a black person and you're contemptuous, it's even worse.
	Shut up, slave!
	Why should he be fired?
	He's absolutely correct.
	Oh, I could not disagree more.
	So you should, so, so, and I started with so.
	It's so funny.
	You think that when a cop pulls you over, you immediately start reading, you're telling him your rights and telling him that he can't do this, he can't do that.
	That's not what she did.
	And there's a difference between him saying, you know, first of all, contempt of cop.
	I mean, come on, you're making this up.
	But you do have rights.
	You do.
	Absolutely.
	And you should exercise those.
	If we give up on them, what's next?
	You can't give up on them.
	Let me know how that works out for you.
	Oh, sure.
	Next time I'm stopped at one of those bogus border patrols 50 miles from the border, I will ask, am I being detained?
	And if they don't say yes, then I'm not rolling down.
	I'm not giving them anything.
	I'm not getting out of the car.
	I'm just going to crack my window.
	Am I being detained?
	There's hundreds of YouTube videos of people doing this successfully, and they're right.
	I'm not disagreeing with that.
	You're saying...
	Who's the guy?
	There's one very famous computer character who...
	Somebody in the chat room might not remember his name.
	Who's very famous for...
	He's a programmer, but he's famous for not producing his ID because there's no law that says, for example, that you have to show ID when somebody just asks you for it.
	Correct.
	And he never produces.
	He doesn't do it at airports.
	He says he refuses.
	You don't have to.
	I got a plane ticket.
	I'm going on this plane.
	I don't have to show my ID. That's correct.
	And he usually gets on.
	He's delayed.
	But Randall Schwartz is what the chat room says.
	Is that his name?
	No, I don't think so.
	It's not Kevin Mitnick.
	No, God knows.
	Definitely not.
	Kevin Mitnick would go along with it.
	He just shows his CIA ID. No, Mitnick's not CIA. It's not Stallman.
	No, it's not Stallman.
	Stallman would...
	Borderline could do that, but no, it's...
	So that's three for three, chat room.
	You're out.
	Yeah, good work.
	You're out.
	I think it's Stallman.
	I think.
	Oh, I think.
	Oh, I think.
	Well, let's listen to part two, because this does stem from a Supreme Court ruling, which I was unaware of, and I remember the case, but I hadn't really followed it.
	The white people who We're very responsible for this.
	They're called justices of the Supreme Court.
	They rendered a horrible decision a few years ago in the soccer mom case where they said that you can arrest somebody for minor violations, took this woman to jail with their two kids in the car.
	The Supreme Court encouraged this kind of thing, and they shouldn't be doing that.
	Do you remember that, the soccer mom case?
	No.
	Yeah, so the kids were in the back of the car, two of them, younger kids, and they were buckled in, and everyone was driving along, and I guess the kid had some toy, and it dropped it out the window, as moron kids do.
	Like, oop, I wanted to see if it could fly.
	So I think it was a provincial road, or it wasn't a highway.
	So she stops, she retraces, she turns the car around, retraces very slowly, like 15 miles an hour, and she said, okay, kids, you can unbuckle your seatbelt so you can look out the window, see if you see it.
	And I believe the road situation was safe.
	And then a cop pulls up next to her and says, I'm sending you to jail!
	And yeah, he took her in.
	And she fought that and it became a Supreme Court case.
	And the Supreme Court said, yeah, no, the cops have the right for minor offenses to arrest you.
	Even if there's just, you know, some suspicion of, etc.
	I should have to, I would have to look at it.
	They should have brought the cop in, put him on some webpage, he's a big dick.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, big dick.
	He's a big dick.
	Mom's trying to find some toy, and she's going to drive slowly, and she's by herself.
	The roads aren't, it's not the freeway.
	The cop didn't even ask what she was doing.
	He pulled up next to her and just yelled, you're going to jail.
	Yeah.
	And you know what?
	These are just outliers.
	It's what the media focuses on because, of course, most cops and firefighters and EMT and doctors and nurses and teachers, they're normal.
	They're good.
	They're okay.
	They're good people.
	When I was at the air pollution district, I always tell people, you know, when you're working with government agents of any sort, just be as nice as you can.
	Because there's these guys, and we knew everyone in the agency knew who they were.
	There's only a couple of them, but one in particular, who was, you know, I knew the guy was a friendly guy.
	I liked him.
	But he would just get off on just finding somebody he could harass.
	Hmm.
	He'd go to their place.
	He'd write them up for everything.
	He'd make their life miserable.
	We all talked about it.
	We all talked about, boy, what's he going to do now?
	And he'd go find some guy that just said something to him.
	It ticked him off.
	And next thing you know, he's on the guy.
	Right?
	Lighting him up and writing him up and making his life miserable until you get transferred to some other area.
	And then you'd go, if you got transferred to one of his old areas, these guys would read you, or not read you, they'd be singing the blues to an extreme, telling you all the crazy things that went on.
	And what are you going to do?
	He's following the letter of the law.
	He's going by the book.
	Yeah.
	Well, I still think it's...
	Inappropriate for a professor to tell his students to just shut up and say, yes, sir.
	Come on, that's fucked.
	That's not okay.
	Just shut up.
	That's not okay.
	I think your position is well founded.
	Now, this Black Lives Matter movement, which we've been Yes, and I wanted to talk about that a little bit.
	Oh, good.
	Me too.
	Before we talk about the movement itself, I wanted to talk about the reaction that we saw and that we mentioned on the last show, and I want to discuss this just for a minute from a sociological perspective based on in-and-out groups.
	Now, I brought the clip back.
	It's the O'Malley clip, I think, or whoever it was that was talking said, let's see, where is it?
	I'm getting too many clips, so I can't find them anymore.
	Martin O'Malley, All Lives Matter.
	Play it?
	Yeah, play it.
	Every life matters, and that is why this issue is so important.
	Black lives matter, white lives matter, all lives matter.
	That's Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley getting heckled at a liberal convention for actually saying all lives matter.
	Imagine that?
	He then later came out and apologized for saying that.
	He's sorry.
	When you said in-out group, what does that mean, John?
	Well, I mean, if you're, it's like clicks.
	Ah, okay.
	You can be in a group, you can be out of, it's also code words that allow you to be in a group or not be in a group.
	You can say things a certain way and you can tell, this guy's not one of us.
	He's not one of us.
	Right.
	And that's why they were booing him.
	And let me explain this.
	This is one of those things that I'm going to throw, I've told this story before, probably not for a few years so I can tell it again.
	I have a little timer here.
	Uh, I was up at Boeing doing an article on their products.
	Really?
	I ran into an engineer up there.
	Were you trying to get a free plane?
	I'm trying to get a free 737.
	I'm on to you.
	Cheap bastards do not have review units.
	I'm on to you.
	Review unit.
	What?
	Review unit.
	A loaner.
	A loaner.
	Send it back just when you're done.
	This engineer says he did some writing for PC World, and he had this story to tell me.
	PC World was at the time, it was our competitor, I was a PC magazine.
	PC World at the time was, and I had done some writing for them earlier, but it was run by a bunch of, I don't want to say hostile feminists, That are probably like women more than men, if you know what that means.
	And the place was pretty much run by that group, that type of group, or that type of personality.
	And that's what they'd hire.
	You hire like, likewise.
	The guy says he wrote this piece, and he put the word in.
	He says, and the company representatives had discussed this in the past, blah, blah, blah.
	He got the copy back because these people like to go back and forth.
	Would you like to look it over after the edits?
	And they had changed the copy from, and the company spokesperson had blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Hmm.
	And he didn't like the word spokesperson.
	And so he says, why do you put this horrible word spokesperson in my article?
	And she said, we don't use sexist language at PC World.
	And he goes and he looks at what he wrote.
	He says, the company representative.
	Which is not at all...
	He says, I didn't use sexist language, I used company representatives.
	Then she says, oh, you don't quite get it.
	We want to make it clear that we don't use sexist language.
	Oh, okay, so you have an agenda to promote.
	It's code.
	Yeah.
	If you say representative, you're not in the group.
	You're not saying spokesperson is the code word.
	Right, right, right.
	Got it.
	The Black Lives Matter thing is a very similar situation.
	Well, there's something going on with the Black Lives Matter movement.
	And I had heard about this, I think, when it started around Ferguson and It was one of those things like, yeah, I'm sure, whatever, I'll look at it later.
	I never looked at it.
	But it was this MSNBC conversation where we had one representative from the Black Lives Matter movement, which is what I went and traced down.
	Who is this?
	What is this movement about?
	And, of course, seeing as there are non-profits involved, who is behind it?
	But this is Black Lives Matter representative on MSNBC. Okay.
	What action do you want to see those candidates take in response to what the movement is calling for?
	Well, I think first off, we want candidates to actually call movement leaders, sit and have meetings with us, have a conversation with us about what's happened this last year since the murder of Mike Brown.
	What is your plan for the Republican candidates, specifically after Jeb Bush and his idea of saying that hashtag Black Lives Matter is just a slogan?
	Yes, and we—many folks have asked, you know, why would you go after the Democratic Party?
	They're on our side.
	What about the Republican Party?
	And trust and believe that any opportunity we have to shut down a Republican convention, we will.
	We will make sure that our voices— Did you hear them?
	They're giggling over this.
	This MSNBC twerps.
	That'll be so fun.
	We will.
	We will make sure that our voices are made loud and clear.
	And we also want to be clear that the Democratic Party isn't off the hook.
	I like that last statement because you can interpret it different ways.
	They're not off the hook.
	They're not off the hook as in they're not crazy.
	Hands up, I can't breathe.
	So I look into this Black Lives Matter.
	Of course, we have the domain name blacklivesmatter.com or is it.com or.org?
	Anyway, it is protected domain registrar privacy so you can't find out who...
	Who owns that?
	Oh, they have to be secret.
	Yeah.
	However, the three founders are Alicia Garza, Patrice Cullors, and Opal Tomati.
	And they founded Black Lives Matter in 2013 after the Trayvon Martin shooting, which still is very strange that we have a Latino man somehow accused of being white.
	So the three women work together, but they independently work for three non-profits.
	Garza works, she's the Special Projects Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance.
	Cullors is the Director of Dignity and Power Now.
	And the Tometi is executive director of the Black Alliance for Just Immigration.
	And the last two don't really have anything of any import or interest in their 990s.
	But the first organization, which does about $5 million a year, this is the...
	Which one is it here?
	This is the National Domestic Workers Alliance.
	And again, this woman is the special projects director.
	So I would say that this is not extracurricular activity.
	This is a special project for Black Lives Matter.
	And then you go in and you look and you see who is funding this.
	And this is the thing that I kind of ignored previously.
	Let me just scroll.
	I'm looking at the 990 now, which of course is marked up in the show notes as we usually do with these documents.
	We have substantial donations over $2 million from the Soros Foundation and then independently from Alexander Soros, Alexander Soros Foundation.
	And this is the Open Society Institute is in here, the Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation.
	But the Soros thing is bothersome because this is always swept away as a conspiracy theory.
	And when you look into it and you look at the headlines, after Trayvon Martin, Soros apparently, and I haven't done all the math, but I think it would be reasonably accurate, has put millions of dollars into these types of groups.
	And the total, funny enough, was $33 million, which is just one of those things that's irritating.
	Just irritating.
	So, I need to ask you, what is Soros's...
	I mean, does he want to make America a socialist country?
	That is what people mainly accuse him of.
	Or does he just want to create havoc and riots for some financial gain?
	It's what he does.
	He is, of course, the ultimate money manager, and particularly managing his own money.
	Why would he support these groups?
	Well, the internationalists, which once he's hooked up with the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation, those are part of the old-fashioned internationalist-type operations that one world government, old-fashioned, not the New World Order type, but the original type.
	You know, we're all...
	Part of a giant kind of communist environment.
	And if he's pitching into that, somehow these...
	I think they're just a front.
	I mean, with them in there, they're just like a communist front.
	This could well be a...
	Some of the Russians are behind for all we know.
	Well, Soros, maybe.
	Maybe.
	I don't know.
	All I can do is guess.
	Hmm.
	But I do know that these operations, the Ford Foundation in particular, and the Rockefeller Foundation, are this old line...
	So what is that old line thinking?
	It's like, if we're all socialists, then everything's going to be great?
	Well, I think the old line thinking is the original of the new thinking, which is, no, it's like if we have one governing body, the United Nations stems from this, and the League of Nations stems from this thinking.
	Good point.
	Which is a joke, because these operations don't work.
	But, I mean, the EU can barely function.
	The United States has functioned well because we've been a federal style where you have little duchies all over the place that kind of do their own thing.
	I'm going to go back to it.
	I've said it before on the show.
	This is all about preventing a new war that will make it so rich people have their stuff stolen.
	I say it all the time.
	I think it's the first time I've heard you say this.
	No, I've said it before.
	It's the first time it's registered.
	I don't say it a lot because it sounds kind of nutty.
	No, I don't think it sounds nutty.
	The idea of world peace, world peace, world peace, international justice and peace for everybody is not about justice or peace for anybody.
	It's about maintaining a world government that keeps wars, major wars, not these little conflagrations where you end up blowing up, you know, rebelizing the Middle East or places like that because the Rockefellers don't have a place there that they're worried about their art being stolen.
	It's about maintaining their wealth at the same level it's always been and keeping people from stealing their stuff.
	Oh, then they're assholes. - Why are they assholes?
	Because they're putting people into a form of servitude, serfdom, I grew up in a socialist country.
	It's not all that great.
	The things that are great are the things that, well, the benefits.
	I remember in 1972, I moved to the Netherlands, and I recall defending, because of course I heard my parents talk, the 75% income tax at the time.
	Now, that's been lowered since then.
	We had a 75% income tax in this country.
	What year was that?
	I think it was during the Eisenhower administration.
	Well, this was in 72.
	And, you know, I would be quick to tell people, yeah, but healthcare is free.
	Of course, it's not free because you're paying for it.
	But there was universal healthcare for everybody.
	Unemployment benefits were great.
	They've since been cut down.
	Probably they're not even 30% of what they used to be, which puts people on the cusp of starvation.
	You know, there's all education.
	Uh, is, uh, is by and large funded from public coffers, um, which is all just means of controlling people.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	Well, that, who makes them the boss?
	They have the money.
	Ah, there we have it.
	Well, that puts us pretty low on the totem pole, Mr.
	Yeah, especially this week.
	What the hell is going on?
	It's not good.
	Not good.
	Well, why don't we...
	The rich, it seems that they are a class of people.
	If you look at the old class structure, it's kind of pretty much along the lines of wealth.
	And they don't like their stuff stolen.
	And every time there's a war, everything gets redistributed.
	Redistributed in an awkward way, not by the government.
	Right.
	It gets redistributed by being shot and me taking your stuff.
	So you're telling me George Soros and Pierre Omidyar Drive My Car, who has funded a lot of these groups in Ukraine, that they are really just protecting their own crap.
	Yeah.
	That is my thesis.
	I like it.
	I like it.
	I mean, what else are they doing?
	They're not protecting the people.
	I mean, what is Soros doing that's a benefit?
	If he's going to spend millions, why doesn't he just go on the street corners and get these bums off the street?
	Just give him here.
	Here's a hundred grand.
	Go get out of here.
	Go buy a place.
	Move to Davenport, Iowa.
	These Atlanticists, or whatever you want to call them, are definitely making moves.
	And funding stuff like this.
	And playing into people's fears.
	This is why they had to kill John Lennon.
	He was on to it.
	No, he was.
	We're on to it.
	But I'm not going to go down the John Lennon path publicly.
	Because he said, all you need is love.
	And he put up big signs on Times Square.
	Like, okay, this guy's gone too far now.
	If people figure out this love crap, it's all over.
	Hey, Soros!
	Start some shit!
	Seems that way to me.
	Well, the problem again with Soros, and I think you're right, you have to be careful because when he shows up, immediately it goes right back to Glenn Beck, who is the big Soros basher amongst all the big commercial pundits, and he's kind of nutty about it.
	Although when you see his analysis, he's usually not too far off.
	I think a lot of Beck's stuff is not accurate, to say the least, but his Soros analysis always seems spot on.
	So I didn't realize this, that Black Lives Matter.
	Yeah, and he's been funding groups that have participated in protests, a la Ferguson, a la Baltimore, to the tune of this $33 million, which just tickles me whenever I see that number show up again.
	We should be arrested.
	Yeah.
	No, I think people are all in on this.
	Except for the people I hear on the street here in Austin.
	Black guys saying, I don't like this Black Lives Matter.
	That's just another one of these groups.
	It's like the World's Workers' Party.
	Yeah, they have...
	Isn't the World Socialist Workers Party?
	I think it's called just the World Workers Party.
	Because there's a website.
	I think it's WSW something.
	World Workers.
	Maybe it's an option.
	It's just another name.
	Yeah.
	I've been berated before for putting that in the show notes.
	Like, hello.
	Just because it's in the show notes doesn't mean I endorse it.
	That's the beauty of the show notes.
	It's got all angles.
	Everything is in there.
	Including the clips.
	But anybody...
	International World's Workers' World Socialist Party is probably one you're thinking of.
	International.
	The word international is a giveaway.
	The WSWS.org.
	Yeah, that's it.
	WSWS.org.
	Marxist Analysis.
	Woo!
	The original blogger, Karl Marx.
	Yeah.
	You don't mind going back to 1840?
	I don't know.
	All right.
	Let's see what we got.
	I got a couple of things.
	I got that out of the way.
	I wanted to do a little deconstruction of Obama on Jon Stewart.
	Yes, you put in his newsletter, which is good.
	No one read it, but...
	No, but here we go.
	I like this.
	Okay.
	Now, I've noticed.
	I want you to see if you can spot...
	Let's see what we got here.
	What I got was some cool stuff.
	I got some irony, but I got this.
	This is the first clip on the list.
	It's Stu Obama first.
	And when I heard it, he does this a number of times in this little bit, and I realized that you had actually caught this on a non-popular...
	This is part of what people are using.
	Listen to this first clip.
	I feel it.
	No, no, no.
	I felt the movie.
	No, no, no.
	I felt it.
	Here's what I fight against.
	No, no, no, no.
	No, no, no, no.
	Yeah?
	Okay.
	Do I get to play a new no-no-no jingle?
	You got one?
	As a general rule, I am just fine with a few heckers.
	But not when I'm up in the house.
	Can we have this person in the movie, please?
	Can we escort this person out?
	That was Minuteman Davin who created it for us.
	It's a good one, isn't it?
	That's a dynamite one.
	We can do a whole album pretty soon.
	We can have an album on Spotify.
	Na-na-na-na-na.
	Anyway, there's a few good lines in here.
	He has a...
	This is catching on, I will add.
	The no, no, no, no, no?
	I'm hearing it everywhere.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Let's get the original, just so people...
	No, no, no, no, no.
	The original...
	Yeah, play that.
	Let me see if I have...
	Was this it?
	I think this might have...
	Was this it?
	Yeah.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Hey!
	Just one more, I like it so much.
	Can't stand myself.
	One, two, three, four.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, hey.
	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.
	Hey, listen.
	Hey.
	You're in my house.
	Hey.
	Shame on you.
	You shouldn't be doing this.
	I love our producers.
	So Stewart actually has a couple.
	It was a funny interview.
	Now, I went and pulled some of these little clips out, and they're all short, except one.
	Um...
	Well, let's play the long one.
	There's a long one here, which is the Volunteer Cyber Army, which I thought was a little bit much.
	Oh, boy.
	More set up, or are we going to it?
	I'll give you the...
	I'll talk about it afterwards, but listen carefully to what he's saying here.
	Here's what we did.
	Yes.
	Here, here, here.
	After the Commander-in-Chief, after the healthcare.gov fiasco, we brought in an entire team of guys basically volunteering their own time, from Google, Facebook, guys in T-shirts.
	Hold on a second.
	Mr.
	President, with all due respect, fuck you.
	That's bullshit.
	Oh, yeah, the guys in t-shirts, they know what they're doing.
	Please.
	We brought in an entire team of guys basically volunteering their own time from Google, Facebook, guys in t-shirts.
	They're not wearing t-shirts now.
	They are dressing up a little bit.
	Well, not that well.
	Understood.
	And we have created what we're calling the U.S. Digital Services.
	And we're basically getting guys to rotate in for a year or two years.
	And we're just putting them on a whole bunch of these problems.
	Whether it's, how do we make an SBA loan easier to get?
	How do we make sure that You know, this agency is more customer friendly.
	How do we make sure that people can go to one website instead of 16 to find out the information they need?
	So these guys are spreading out throughout the government and they are in fact systematically chipping away at a lot of these problems.
	I think we will, by the time I leave here, we're going to be able to say that government is working much better, much more efficiently, much more customer-friendly than when I came into office.
	It's interesting, though, it frustrates you, because I can tell.
	Yes.
	We're talking, you're having a nice time, you're talking about the Iran deal.
	When we talk about things that don't work, I think it's frustrating to you.
	Of course.
	Yeah.
	Okay, now hold on a second.
	Let me get this straight.
	It's so important to the Obama administration to get these screwed up systems working correctly, or working at all for that matter.
	that they're looking for volunteers to come and go and come and go wearing t-shirts they can't spend a dime on this while we're dropping bombs all over the world are you kidding me yeah oh let's get some volunteers Maybe they can help fix these issues.
	Hey, how about paying somebody to fix them?
	How about firing the people that are working there that are supposed to be fixing them?
	Get them out and pay somebody to come in.
	I just found this to be the most annoying thing I've ever heard, and he's so glib about it.
	Oh, we got these volunteers, and then he not only gets them to volunteer to come in, and then he just ridicules them because they don't know how to dress.
	They're wearing t-shirts.
	I just found this to be unbelievable.
	And Stuart's just sitting there with his thumb up his ass.
	You're right.
	I did a quick search on our clips.
	I have a thing from Megan Smith, the former Googler.
	And also I find it questionable that we have...
	People, volunteers coming in from Google and Facebook who are...
	Is everyone vetted?
	Was all of their information stolen in the OPM hack, the Office of Personnel and Management?
	Are these people now compromised?
	What if you have a capability to cross-reference the Office of Personnel and Management database with the Ashley Madison database?
	This is happening, John.
	You're a great dream.
	I've received emails from people who have used Ashley Madison, female, to hook up, and it's all politicians.
	It's also pilots, doctors, but a lot of politicians.
	So these people are all blackmailable.
	And so now you have insider knowledge of these systems, 16 of them, I guess, or whatever the president was talking about, to consolidate and make things work better and smoothly.
	And they must have been vetted.
	They must have gone through a background check.
	And that information is now stolen.
	Now they're blackmailable while they were in D.C. You know, hey, guys, we're in D.C. We're hanging out.
	We got our T-shirts on.
	Let's get some hookers.
	No, wait!
	Let's go Ashley Madison!
	There you go, yeah!
	Let's hook up with some babes!
	Hey, baby.
	It's a bad situation.
	Let's listen to this Megan Smith clip, see if there's anything in there about the U.S. Digital Service that we can listen back to.
	These tours of duty that we set people up with.
	Oh, yeah, this was a promo video.
	Now I remember.
	Tours of duty.
	These tours of duty that we set people up with, like, these are things that they're going to be telling the grandkids about.
	Like, there was that time when I worked for the White House, and here's what I did at the White House, and...
	And then we got on Ashley Madison and we got blackmailed.
	It was more meaningful than anything I've done before or since.
	In tech, I think a lot of us, we just love solving really big, complex, difficult problems.
	I'm thinking, alright, this is a crazy problem.
	I know software, I know technology, so how do I use that knowledge to fix it?
	Like, just any big problem.
	Yeah, I never ever pictured myself doing this until I saw someone else doing it and thought, that's awesome.
	I finally get to use my skills to...
	That tech is awesome.
	Hey, take a look at what Boeing's getting as a contractor and see what you're getting as a contractor.
	Dummy.
	This is about making a difference, John.
	It's about making a difference by participating.
	It's making a difference.
	And I think a long-term difference.
	The United States Digital Service is the Americans who have tech skills coming to government.
	Tech skills.
	How's your tech skills, John?
	I got tech skills.
	No one called me about my tech skills.
	And helping do what we need to do from D.C. and across this country.
	Well, I never expected to be here.
	And I realized that that's something I said with each step forward.
	By the way, and I said by the way purposely, there's women in here too, Mr.
	President, not just guys in t-shirts, completely misogynistic, completely genderfile.
	Ah, good point.
	I missed that one.
	Yeah, that's shitty.
	You can't do that.
	You just propagated the lie that only men can be in tech.
	Yeah, with T-shirts.
	Yeah.
	Taken so far.
	Right now it's just a really critical time.
	In fact, I hear 50% women in this promo reel.
	Time to get technologists into the government because there is a huge desire in youth.
	The skills that we have as technologists in the private sector are still quite rare in government.
	And whether it's for a year or six months or two months or even for a couple weeks, the time that you spend in U.S. government can make a dramatic impact.
	Figuring out how we can use technology better to help lives of American people is not a new challenge for the federal government.
	This is something that we've been working on.
	We've been working on.
	How about working on your fraud?
	Well, I don't see Boeing volunteering.
	Where's Megan Smith coming out and saying, we understand, Mr.
	President, you know, there's a lot of women in tech, Mr.
	President.
	Since day one of the administrations, the administrations before us have tried to solve as well.
	I have explained to people how broken things are, and a lot of them have asked me, why would you walk into that?
	And the answer is because it matters.
	You know, I thought about this and I just remember thinking, wow, I know technology.
	This is how I'll serve my country.
	In many cases, we're dressed...
	Do you have a t-shirt?
	...the needs of the people who are most in need for whatever definition you want to use, least able to help themselves.
	And that's a real difference between the kind of stuff that we typically did in Silicon Valley.
	We shifted how people are working, facilitated by technology.
	And those shifts will outlast the specific technical solutions that we build.
	And that opportunity is unparalleled.
	That's a fine example of that Google Hangout technology we're hearing there.
	At times, I'm not sure if I'll finish my term with a concrete deliverable, but I know that the culture is shifting, and that has to start sometime.
	Some people are hands-on keyboard coders.
	There's also amazing designers.
	Amazing!
	There's amazing design thinking people.
	There's product managers.
	There's people who really know that subject matter or that user who are scrubbed in together on these fabulous functional teams.
	Scrubbed in!
	Scrubbed in!
	You may not think you belong in the United States Digital Service, but we want you.
	We want you for the United States Digital Service.
	We want you to work for free.
	This must be a lie.
	Give billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars to the defense contractors.
	Hey, if they were working for free, I'd work for free too.
	Hey, John, let's scrub in.
	I'm ready.
	Are you?
	No, I don't have my soap.
	Scrub in.
	Let's go on with the next little clip.
	This I thought was the only funny moment, I think, kind of, in the whole little back and forth.
	Stewart was really not on it.
	He wasn't even on his C game.
	He was just listening.
	But he did have this little comment.
	Maybe he had orders.
	He had what?
	Orders.
	He had orders to just listen.
	Oh, orders.
	I see.
	Orders.
	Orders, you know.
	We have the U.S. digital services.
	Let's go to whole posters.
	It's...
	Okay, whole posters.
	It is...
	It gets better if we work at it and we stay focused on where we're going.
	It doesn't immediately get all solved.
	And I warned against this when I was running for office because everybody had the hope posters and the this and the that.
	Everybody was feeling like, hey, we didn't make those.
	You made the win.
	Blame it up.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no.
	The guy's crazy.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	When did this crop up?
	You caught it on that clip that nobody else played.
	Right.
	Well, it was worse.
	The mainstream media claimed that he had shut down this protester.
	Well, I feel the mainstream media lied to us.
	And it is one of the most condescending And it is one of the most condescending things you can do in a conversation because you are pretty much saying, shut up.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	And it catches on.
	People do it.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	People don't necessarily mean it poorly, but it creeps in.
	And of course, when the president's doing it, this stuff goes viral.
	Well, he's been doing it a lot more than ever.
	Well, he has a lot of no, no, no, no, no to say.
	Now, here's the...
	I found it to be a very ironic moment.
	I just thought that there's subtle messaging that goes on just with the media itself.
	But play this part here, which is the Stu Obama break irony.
	Recognizing we're still...
	In terms of the Middle East generally...
	We should probably, if you're going to get in the Middle East generally, I should take a commercial break.
	You sure?
	I'll take a commercial break and come back.
	No, you absolutely do.
	And what you said about the Iran pact was excellent, and once the Senate shoots it down, we'll talk about it again.
	We'll be right back with more from President Obama.
	All right.
	You know, just as a note on this, I'm seeing the following meme, which was expected, that the international community, the world is in agreement with this Iran pact.
	The world is in agreement.
	That's because the UN Security Council has...
	The Republicans aren't.
	Whereas we know that the law in the Constitution, it's Article 2, Section 2, Paragraph 2, that...
	The treaties must be done with the advice and consent of the Senate.
	Two-thirds majority.
	Do we want to move into that or we'll get into that in a second?
	Well, the point of this clip was not anything to do with that.
	I'm sorry, that was part of it, actually.
	Now she went off on that tangent.
	The point was, here I am, I'm with the President of the United States about to talk to Iran, but what's more important than the leader of the free world talking about this on this broadcast, what's more important than that?
	A commercial break.
	So who's really running things?
	And this is why I'm telling people I can't say it enough.
	You cannot get honesty at all or any sort of thing that's not completely corrupted by advertising.
	Whoa.
	People to support this show and we don't get enough support.
	Well, with that...
	May I thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C., where the C stands for commercial-free Dvorak.
	And in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning, all ships to sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning, everybody in the chat room, noagendastream.com.
	Good to see everyone giving us absolutely no useful information.
	If you're going to put something in the chat room, then look it up before you do that.
	It's not about who's first, it's about who's right.
	And in the morning to our artists, we'd like to give a big hearty in the morning to Martin.
	JJ brought the art for us on episode 741.
	And 741 was, was that the Bad Optics, I believe?
	Yes, Bad Optics.
	What was it?
	Bad Optics and the artwork was the self-esteem trophy, the Noah Jenna Trophy with Loser.
	Which is a good one.
	That's what this trophy should say.
	Loser with little stars and stuff.
	It's beautiful.
	And thank all of our artists, as usual, for submitting their fine work at noagendaartgenerator.com.
	This is always done during the live show.
	People who are artistically inclined listening to the show and want to support us and give us some art.
	And without good art, we'd be in real trouble.
	This is a fact.
	We know that good art always helps with the overall sustenance level of the show.
	It rounds out the package.
	And quite a package it is.
	And it makes a difference in good art and crap art.
	You see a lot of crap art.
	Yeah, there is some crappy stuff going on.
	No, I mean, not that we use.
	No, in general.
	In other podcasts and what other people try to do.
	Some of the art or their judgment.
	I would say that if your artistic judgment is so crummy that you think something that's just lopsided head or whatever that you put up there, you think that is good art, I would question everything.
	I look at it as a gestalt.
	Mm-hmm.
	I think that you can tell a book by its cover.
	I've always thought this.
	Anyway, I don't want to get into that.
	I want to thank some people for being executive producers and associate executive producers for show 742.
	Okay.
	Starting with Anonymous, who came in with $432.11.
	And he says...
	He's now a knight.
	He's got to knighthood, and he wants to be accredited as B-nonymous instead of A-nonymous.
	The next on the list will be C-nonymous.
	We already have T-nonymous, but we need a C-nonymous, then a D-nonymous, and then an E-nonymous.
	We can do 26 of them.
	We can have all the way to Zedonymous.
	We can have 26.
	So far, we've got A-nonymous.
	We do have A-nonymous as of Knight.
	And now we have B-nonymous.
	All right.
	Looking for C. We're looking for C-nonymous.
	Previous donation, and he's got his numbers, are please knight me as Sir B-nonymous.
	Short and sweet note, thank you for your show.
	P.S. Enough climate gate already.
	This is something that cropped up on the No Agenda subreddit, which I look at from time to time.
	And typically, this is what happens with all open fora.
	I'd be like, yeah, Adam's full of shit!
	John even hates the Agenda 21 climate stuff.
	They should stop doing that!
	Oh, I don't know why.
	I like it.
	I actually do like it.
	I just don't like it at the beginning of the show.
	Yeah, I'm working on it.
	And then he says, John, choose a medley of your liking.
	I didn't notice that earlier.
	I would have thought of something other than what I'm going to suggest.
	Let's try one.
	Do we have some old Hillary stuff that goes way back?
	Yeah.
	I want to hear an old Hillary clip we haven't heard for a long time.
	And then I'd also like to hear the Clippity Clop song.
	Okay, so Clippity Clop, I can get that one, I think.
	I wish we had set this up earlier.
	Okay, Clippity Clop I had, but then you say you wanted some old Hillary?
	Just any really old Hillary, just go by date.
	Okay, let me sort by date.
	Okay, and this goes, we'll go back to, I have no idea what it is.
	We'll just see what comes out of it.
	Let's go, it's a potluck.
	I am talking about gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender.
	Hillary is gay, she's a friend.
	Bisexual.
	You heard it, it doesn't know we're gender.
	It's Clippity Clop.
	The message is clear.
	Just Clippity Clop.
	You've got karma.
	There you go.
	Potluck!
	I have no idea what that...
	We never played that.
	I don't think we've ever played that one either.
	Wow.
	Chicken into the pile.
	What is I bidding, my master?
	Each year on my birthday, every American gets a cupcake.
	Yes, my master.
	The stuff people send to us.
	We should just go through all this stuff.
	We can probably do a whole show of Hillary clips.
	Mm-hmm.
	All right, I got a letterhead thing from the...
	Actually, it's a funny letterhead.
	From the National Engineering Forum, and we have Sir Daniel Miller, engineer extraordinaire, $333.33 from Goodlessville, Texas.
	And he sent in a note.
	He sent in a check.
	Nice.
	Fact!
	No agenda karma works.
	I recently sold my house for a tiny profit and thought I should send some more value for value your way.
	Your analysis of the recent incident in Chattanooga, just down the road from me, was superb.
	And I thoroughly enjoyed the show 200.7 and the interviews.
	Also, I am taking a page out of the JCD playbook and getting married on August 8th.
	Okay.
	8-8.
	That's 8-8.
	That's your wedding date.
	8-8-88.
	8-8-88.
	The only reason you did that is so that you could remember it.
	Sad but true.
	I'll never forget your new grandson.
	Do you remember this?
	What about him?
	Well...
	We were talking about him.
	I think it might have been after the show.
	And I said, what's his name?
	And you said, wait, you don't know your grandson's name?
	He said, he's new.
	I'm not used to him yet.
	I say the silliest things with a note.
	But it's true.
	To celebrate the heritage of my intended, I would like some magical shape-shifting Jew karma.
	Then I humbly request that John select one of his favorites.
	Oh, man.
	Honor my upcoming nuptials.
	Today is Let John Pick Clips Day.
	I guess.
	You guys consistently knock it out of the park.
	Bravo!
	Bravo!
	Daniel Miller.
	He's up to $1,666.66.
	He made the point of pointing that out.
	Nice.
	So we'll...
	What do you want?
	What do you want to pick?
	Well, staying with the Hillary theme and those old ones, both of which we've never heard before, go down to the list and go to the next one.
	Okay.
	All right.
	That will go all the way down the list.
	And let me see...
	Hmm...
	Okay, I'm just grabbing something.
	I'll play that first before the shapeshifters.
	End pornography and end patriarchy and the violent degradation of women and enslavement of women around the world.
	Well, you know, people can...
	We can talk about that, but we do need mass resistance.
	And I did want to ask people...
	No, I think that was no good.
	Where's Hillary?
	I don't know.
	I'm just playing whatever says Hillary.
	All right, play the next one.
	I could go back to what I had been doing, but unfortunately...
	It was going back to where we had been, in some respects, 30, 40 years ago, rather than picking up the pace of where we had moved toward.
	This is called Hillary blabbering.
	So many children to be successful in school, despite all the education reform that we have done and experimented with over a very long time now.
	Well, this is the one where she lost her teleprompter or something?
	Yeah.
	No, remember she had the sheet of paper and somebody jumbled them up.
	Oh, man.
	Okay, let's go on with the shape-shifting.
	Pay attention, everybody!
	Woo!
	Roll up, roll up for the magical shapeshifting Jews!
	Step right this way!
	Roll up, roll up for the shapeshifting Jews!
	Roll out The magical shapeshifting Jews Roll out It's an illustration The magical shapeshifting Jews Roll out It's such an aggravation The magical shapeshifting Jews .
	Amen.
	Fist bump.
	You've got karma.
	Patricia Worthington from Miami, Florida, came with $314.15.
	I'm with Adam about Donald, about the Donald.
	He is speaking the truth, and some of us recognize that.
	Hell yeah.
	End of note.
	Thank you, Patricia.
	Eric Shanley in Johnsburg, Illinois, 23302.
	Gentlemen, the letter's been in my head for a few months.
	After a long, boring Saturday alone, my choices, Saturday alone.
	My choices were either write you guys or get drunk.
	I am not as talented as some of your listeners, so I cannot do both at the same time.
	Ah, damn it.
	My boys were introduced to no agenda during a road trip last year, and as a result, my oldest son, Nick, became a regular listener.
	As such, he has developed a keen sense for recognizing BS and has grown into a very crappy slave, as his teachers can attest.
	Ah, good.
	A recent assignment by an English teacher was defined as writing an essay about how a living person had made a positive impact on your life.
	Nick had recently been inspired by the philosophy of Socrates and the call to know thyself.
	He asked if he could do a paper on Socrates and was told no because he was dead.
	Nick would not accept that answer and challenged the teacher by volunteering to write a two-page rough draft for her to review and try to convince her otherwise.
	She agreed.
	While standing by his desk reading the rough draft, she muttered something about, I can't believe I'm doing this, but okay, you can write about Socrates.
	Well, I'm happy.
	He can write well and thinks deeply.
	I was most excited about his decision not to just shut up and get in line with the other slaves, but instead stood up for his idea and pursued his passion.
	I credit both of you for helping him see past the logical fallacy of appealing to authority and to choose to think for himself.
	Also, thanks for Todd Elgee of Katy, Texas for hitting me in the mouth.
	Jingle of your choice again.
	But if I could get some regionally focused job karma, that would be great.
	I'm in Houston trying to find a job in Chicago to get back to my family.
	Thanks much.
	Garrick Shanley.
	All right.
	Why don't I just pick something then?
	You hit it.
	I'll just pick something here.
	What did we have?
	Gee.
	Okay.
	We'll try this one then.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Beauty box.
	Another genius.
	Robert Vogel in Arlington, Virginia.
	$208 less, but not least on the list.
	So how did I hear about No Agenda?
	He asks.
	A Dvorak plug on one of Leo's shows several months back.
	I've given up on mainstream media and even some other podcasts.
	Don't even have time for Leo anymore.
	Keep it up, guys.
	I'm 60 trying to get my 83-year-old mom to listen.
	Yeah, she has a Mac Skype but does not have much use for Trump.
	Just need karma.
	Send pictures.
	You've got karma.
	That concludes our executive and associate executive producer, which is almost a longer list than we have the rest of the show.
	I'd like you to go to Dvorak.org slash NA for the Thursday upcoming show, which will have lots of good stuff, too.
	Got a nice note from the dude named Ben who created the Sounds of No Agenda podcast.
	IOS app.
	And indeed, it had been stuck in Apple limbo.
	That's why when we talked about it on the show, it wasn't available.
	It's available now.
	And I wanted to promote that.
	There's a link in the show notes, of course.
	It says 742.noagendanotes.com.
	And there's a cool feature in this.
	So this has 110 of our jingles.
	This is purely our jingles and our longer-form songs, etc., But what's nice about this particular app is you can do a dub smash or whatever they call it.
	A dub smash.
	Yeah, so you choose one.
	Well, in fact, I have an example.
	If you go to dub.grumpyradio.com, you can do this right from the app, dub.grumpyradio.com, and you hit the button, you hit record after you frame up your face in the camera, and then you lip sync along to it, and it's quite funny.
	You can't give us an example?
	Well, it would only be the jingle.
	I said dub.grumpyradio.com.
	If you would type that into your browser, then you would see a dub video that I personally did Oh.
	Yeah, so that's why I mentioned that, John.
	Yeah, I know.
	I realized that, but then again, I was thinking, well, why bother?
	Because it helps the show.
	And I was also thinking the following.
	Every time I've been going online like this and doing anything, it screws up my Skype connection.
	It does, a little bit.
	It depends.
	I think it flash loads, which is exactly what will happen.
	Oh, no, wait.
	YouTube is HTML5. It should be okay.
	Oh, that's you there.
	Yeah, so click on Play, and you'll see...
	I just did that.
	Okay, that's fantastic.
	All right, everybody, besides helping us with apps, you can always go out there and propagate our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order.
	Shut up, slave.
	Hey, citizens.
	Shut up, slave.
	Amen.
	Fist bump.
	Nice.
	Am I mistaken when I saw that?
	You shaved off your goatee?
	Oh yeah, I shaved off the beard, yeah.
	Oh.
	Done with the beard.
	Yeah, I got tired of it.
	That was getting distinctive.
	Yeah, it made me look old.
	I don't know about that, but it was making you look like that guy that's on Meet the Press.
	What's that guy's name?
	Chip?
	No, not Chip.
	Chip's long gone.
	Chuck?
	Chuck.
	Chuck doesn't have a beard.
	No, he's got that douchebag goatee thing.
	I didn't have a goatee.
	I had a stubble.
	Oh, you had all stubble?
	Just roughness.
	Yeah, rough.
	I hear the ladies love it.
	Now, so I'm watching this morning before the show.
	I was just flipping the television as I was eating my croissant.
	You know, I ate a croissant this morning myself.
	I had my coffee.
	Well, we're the croissant boys.
	I had...
	Write that down.
	The croissant boys.
	There you go.
	I did a John C. Dvorak.
	I had my espresso.
	I had a croissant with some La Croix bubbly water.
	Yeah, just being in Paris.
	Yeah, except there was no French.
	So I'm watching.
	They're talking about Trump, and it's just this...
	Trump.
	We're on to Trump.
	Gotcha.
	We're on to Trump.
	What are we going to do?
	My man.
	My man, Trump.
	So we went to...
	Anyway, I'm watching this, and Todd and the other people, but Todd in particular, but everybody too, they had a sneer on their face.
	Of course, because he's a clown.
	Oh, let's talk about Trump.
	Oh, do we have to?
	What an amazing idiot.
	I find it offensive.
	It's extremely offensive.
	Look, he's got...
	Look, he's got a huge number.
	It's like 23% is favorable and they're going to vote for him.
	This is non-trivial.
	I mean, you can laugh at him all you want.
	But at some point, you're going to have to take him seriously.
	If you want to get rid of him, you're not going to get rid of him by just mocking him.
	And I don't understand, other than their Uber lords have said, you've got to do anything you can to discredit this guy.
	From a television programming perspective, which is how I look at Trump as well, for our show, it's fucking dynamite!
	Oh yeah, no, the numbers are all up.
	This is fantastic.
	You put Trump, you get a Trump conversation.
	People are interested.
	They're watching.
	They're listening.
	The guy says interesting things.
	The way it's responded to by Democrats is egregious.
	It's great.
	They should be all over this.
	This is what makes people watch television.
	But no, I guess we have to discredit him because someone's clearly afraid of him.
	Yeah.
	Do you have clips?
	Because I got a couple clips.
	Well, you start with your clips.
	Okay.
	First I have...
	This is Andrea Mitchell.
	And I also noticed that MSNBC is...
	There's a shake-up going on.
	It's been going on for a while.
	Yeah.
	But it looks like they're getting rid of a lot of shows.
	I think including...
	Who's that douchebag?
	The blowhard in the afternoon?
	Who's the douchebag and then you say MSNBC? I know, I know.
	It's a toughie.
	You have the Chris Matthews.
	I think he's out.
	He is?
	Yeah, I think so.
	But Andrea Mitchell.
	He's an old...
	I thought I read that.
	I would doubt it.
	We can look it up.
	It's not that important.
	There's the guy that should go.
	I think he's gone.
	I don't think he's on anymore.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, Andrea Mitchell is still in because, of course, she's an elite, so they need the elites on the team.
	So here she is, along with goatee boy, Chuck Todd.
	And it's funny.
	They cannot believe how bad Hillary's numbers are.
	They just can't.
	It makes no sense.
	This is a problem.
	Look, I would just say this with these Quinnipiac poll numbers.
	It's pretty early.
	Well, no, it's like...
	Her standing in national polls looks fairly strong.
	These swing states, Virginia, usually goes where the national polls are.
	So something is amiss here.
	Either the state polls are an outlier.
	Something is amiss here.
	The polls must be wrong.
	Or the state polls have found something first before the national polls, which is also possible.
	The Clinton campaign very quietly is pushing back, saying, well, maybe this was a bad Democratic sample.
	We'll see.
	Let's see other polls.
	It could be that the tension is all on the Republican race.
	I think there's a lot to that.
	It could be that maybe the Iran deal is not playing well.
	I mean, there's a lot of ifs here that could be influencing it, or one out of every 20 polls, no matter how well they're conducted, sometimes just get bad numbers.
	It's fitting a pattern where Hillary Clinton doesn't wear well over time when she's been a candidate or been at the focal point.
	So that's why these numbers, you sat there and said, well, maybe they're outliers.
	But wait a minute, we have a data point here that hasn't been great, a data point here that hasn't been great, and now suddenly this adds to it.
	Is there something else?
	Look, everybody's watched this campaign, and we all come to the same conclusion.
	There's something just not quite right.
	Something is not quite right.
	Now, this wasn't specifically about Trump, but I thought it was interesting in light of his numbers.
	Well, now that you bring that up...
	I have a Hillary clip.
	I have a couple, but there's one in particular I want to play, which is the email clip.
	Now, I'm going to set this up.
	This is the email Hillary.
	They talk about the email scandal that's a brewing, and it's a troublemaking thing caused by the Republicans, and they want to get a hold of the server because they think they get some forensic guys in there.
	You can scrub a hard...
	You've got a guy who knows what he's doing.
	He can recover data from a hard disk that's been erased, and they think they can do this, or they're not saying that, but I'm sure that's what they're thinking.
	Here's the problem.
	There is no clip titled, Email Hillary.
	There's a clip that says...
	There's a clip that says, Clinton emails...
	Oh, oh, I'm sorry.
	Oh, God.
	An agricultural crisis...
	Wait, wait.
	Sorry.
	I've got to say, I'm still setting it up.
	You're not even listening.
	You're just looking for the clip.
	It was my fault.
	I'm sorry.
	I have a job here.
	It was my fault because it didn't say Hillary.
	Sorry, I'm only looking for the clip.
	Anyway, as I continue.
	So they do this kind of a rundown of the story, and then they throw it to Hillary, who is public speaking.
	She comes off, and it's interesting to me because Hillary seems to have...
	Maybe three or four personalities, the more I watch her.
	And this is one of the personalities that will sink her if she thinks she's going to run for office using this one.
	It's extremely haughty and arrogant, and she talks very slow and deliberate.
	Now, she talks in a lot of different ways.
	People say, oh, she's a great speaker.
	She sucks.
	Her typical pattern is one word at a time.
	Now when she talks with a haughty style, which is what she's going to employ here, coming up, I'm wondering, as I listen to this, whether my original thesis, which I'm going to repeat for you before we play the clip, Which is that this is all a big setup.
	Hillary's going to grab as much money as she can.
	She's really not going to run because she can't.
	And there's the library and all the scandals that are really lurking that are going to sink her.
	She will quit.
	And that's why she began so early.
	Who's running for president?
	It's not even the right year.
	500 days left or something.
	A year and a half to go.
	So you'd start this up to grab as much money as you can.
	This is my thinking.
	She's going to grab as much money as she can.
	There's going to be a scandal.
	And when you hear this clip, you're going to hear it's almost as if she's inviting it by being arrogant.
	There's going to be a scandal.
	She's going to have to drop out.
	They have to have a woman win.
	That's when Warren comes in at the last minute.
	Meanwhile, Warren gets a head start because it's going to be Hillary's money.
	So it's not like Warren has to start scratch.
	She's going to have all of Hillary's money and all of ready for Hillary's money.
	It's all going to go to Warren because they need a woman to be president.
	And when Hillary turns the money over, it's going to be, here's how you're going to be president because of this money.
	I'm expecting you're not going to be looking into the Clinton Foundation anytime soon.
	The U.S. Justice Department is weighing a request to look into the possibility that Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information when she was Secretary of State.
	It's centered on her use of a private email account.
	A memo from the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community found some of the emails she sent potentially could have been marked classified, but none were.
	Speaking from the campaign trail today in New York, Clinton warned reporting on the story was filled with inaccuracies.
	Maybe the heat is getting to everybody.
	We all have a responsibility to get this right.
	I have released 55,000 pages of emails.
	I love how emails are now pages.
	Yeah, sure.
	I like the way she said thousand.
	55,000.
	55,000.
	180!
	I have said repeatedly that I will answer questions before the House committee.
	We are all accountable to the American people to get the facts right.
	And I will do my part.
	I have a theory about her multiple personalities, because I saw this particular speech, and the first thing I said when I saw this speech was, can you guess?
	He's a psycho.
	No.
	Her hair looks dynamite.
	Oh, yes.
	I agree.
	I noticed it, too.
	Yeah, her hair is all feathered.
	She brought somebody over from France.
	From Paris, yep.
	And whenever she...
	Because that's where the hoity-toity comes from.
	I was in Paris.
	I had Jean-Pierre from Paris.
	Dessanger in Paris did my hair.
	And she affects her brain.
	And as a hair person, I will tell you, how your hair is sitting on your head affects your brain.
	Case in point, Donald Trump.
	I mean, come on.
	This is exactly what happens.
	Hair is your...
	It's like your...
	It's part of your ego.
	It's part of your entire aura.
	It is who you are.
	And when it changes...
	And she's been talking a lot about her hair.
	I won't grow gray in the White House.
	She's preoccupied with her hair.
	But it changes.
	That hair, you're absolutely correct, was dynamite.
	Yes, it was.
	The first thing I said, it's not funny.
	You've got to stop me.
	It is not funny.
	You said that.
	I said it.
	This is interesting.
	I said it.
	I copped to it.
	Yeah, I realize that, but I... Yeah, I screwed up.
	I've never noticed this before.
	This is bad.
	So, it is not funny.
	Well, you caught yourself.
	But I think it is...
	I think here's how it works.
	So, knowing how she travels, and this is not any different from any other celebrity, she has her hair and makeup persons, persons, probably.
	And I recall from doing television, I've been on record saying the most important people...
	For a host of a television show or a politician about to do a show is the hair and makeup people.
	They calm you down.
	Sometimes they'll cool underneath your eyes with some cooling liquid.
	And there's always a nice vibe in the dressing room.
	And when you have Jean-Pierre from Desanges doing your hair, Oh, Hilary, you look so beautiful.
	You are so good.
	You're above all of it.
	You're above all of it.
	That is influencing her.
	That's probably exactly what's going on.
	Yes, yes!
	This is what's happening.
	But it did look dynamite.
	I'll be the first to say again, I really, really like the hair.
	I'm glad you pointed it out, because I noticed it at the time.
	I maybe was going to mention it, but I failed to.
	But yes.
	And then she takes on that princess, the queen of the queen, and she has this rare way of talking.
	There's a lot...
	Yeah, something like that.
	All right.
	Let me write that down.
	Okay, now we are going to go...
	That's my...
	What's the name of that dog?
	Shaggy.
	Shaggy dog?
	Oh, from Archie's?
	Oh, never mind.
	All right.
	So, what can we possibly do to discredit Donald Trump more?
	Well, Jake Tapper had a great idea, or his producers.
	They brought on Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
	Oh, that maniac.
	Psycho sheriff.
	Maniac or not, it's a perfect...
	I think he's the model for this crappy show that's on Fox called Axe Cop.
	But anyway, go on.
	The 10 listeners will get that reference.
	Go on.
	Well, I like Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
	He is an elected law official.
	And I like a lot of the things he's done.
	And, of course, what we need to do is we need to bring back some old crazy stuff about Donald Trump, and Jake Tapper does a good job.
	Something else that you and Donald Trump have in common, in addition to making the issue of illegal immigration a real focus, is that you've both trafficked in this rather...
	I love the term, you've both trafficked.
	It makes it sound sleazy.
	Yeah, it makes it sound like a drug dealer, or worse, human trafficking.
	Our real focus is that you've both trafficked in this rather preposterous notion that President Obama was not born in the United States and that he may have forged his birth certificate that he released.
	Why would you risk your credibility on issues that you care about, like illegal immigration, like law enforcement, by getting involved in this nonsense?
	What do you mean risk?
	I'm the chief law enforcement officer elected by the people.
	I have a right to investigate and speak out.
	So I'm not talking about where he came from.
	I don't care where he came from.
	We're working on a fraudulent, forged government document.
	That's what we are doing.
	You're maintaining that the birth certificate that the President of the United States revealed and released to the public, you're maintaining that that is fraudulent.
	Now, what possibly could Jake do To bring in another meme just to piss me off.
	Don't worry, you won't guess.
	That's right.
	Is there anyone, any credible law enforcement person outside of you and your organization, your contractors, who has any agreement with you on this?
	No, they haven't looked at it.
	What are you kidding?
	I'm probably the only law enforcement official that has looked into it.
	Nobody looks into it.
	They shy away from it.
	Because the president was born in Hawaii.
	Jake, really.
	Because the president was born in Hawaii.
	That's why they're not looking.
	I don't care where he was born.
	I'm talking about a fraudulent government document, a birth certificate.
	That's all I'm concerned with.
	And that seems to be a violation of the law.
	And you say that because there are glitches in some of the printing?
	There it is!
	There it is!
	If you have computer problems, I feel bad for you son.
	I got 99 problems, but a glitch ain't one.
	Glitches!
	That's interesting you have that clip, because I have a segue clip then.
	Nice.
	So Obama decides to go to Africa.
	Yeah, can you?
	We're going to round.
	For listeners out there, we're going to warn the affiliates.
	We're going to go a roundabout way back to Trump.
	Okay.
	Hello, affiliates.
	Trump will be back with the ratings bonanza Trump momentarily.
	But I got a kick out of this.
	This is the clip that says Obama in Africa, France 24.
	This is a clip from VanCat.
	And I want to deserve kind of an awkward moment for anyone listening to this.
	and you tell me what it is and what they say and what we're going to deal with here.
	Visit Kenya and is understandably causing some excitement in the country, despite Obama's insistence that this is for business and not pleasure.
	Well, for more on this story, let's cross to Zoe Fudd, who's in Nairobi this morning.
	Zoe, Obama, arguably the country's most famous native son.
	What's the atmosphere like in Kenya just now?
	Wait a minute.
	Did she say the most famous native son?
	Yes!
	So apparently the Europeans are all in on this.
	They already know.
	I love that.
	So he's the most famous...
	Africa's most famous native son.
	Kenya's most famous native son.
	Fabulous.
	Well, now it's not only that the French think that he was born in Kenya.
	Oh, no.
	But I'm guessing that the Kenyans themselves...
	And I have two more clips.
	I got one is Obama in Africa...
	Okay, this is the one.
	This is the Obama in Africa.
	This is the local report about what's going on there.
	And then listen to this.
	Every life matters.
	And that is why this issue is so important.
	Black Lives Matter.
	You're playing the O'Malley clip.
	I'm so sorry.
	Obama in Africa, local report.
	Yeah, I know exactly what you asked for, and I have no idea how that came out.
	Here we go.
	He's the first sitting U.S. president to visit the country.
	His first full day in Kenya brought a moment of controversy when he was asked about gay rights.
	When you start treating people differently, that's the path.
	Whereby freedoms begin to erode.
	Kenya's president said this is not a view he shares.
	In Kenya, gay sex is punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
	This issue is not really an issue that is on the foremost mind of Kenyans.
	The rest of the visit has been smooth in a country where President Obama is considered a native son.
	What does that tell you?
	They know.
	They're happy.
	They're proud.
	But just get over it already.
	Let's be happy about it.
	Meanwhile, Obama's aware of this.
	And so he gives a speech.
	Now, this little talk here, this is Obama comments in Africa.
	Now, I referred to this earlier in the show, and I'm going to discuss it after you play this clip.
	Or I can discuss it in advance of the clip and tell you right now that this clip...
	Well, play the clip and see if you can spot the anomaly.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	I suspect that some of my critics back home are suggesting that I'm back here to look for my birth certificate.
	That is not the case. .
	That clip was sweetened.
	Let me listen to it again.
	Let me listen to it again.
	I suspect that some of my critics back home are suggesting that I'm back here to look for my birth certificate.
	That is not the case.
	Yeah, it sounds very roomy.
	It's very roomy.
	It's very sweetened.
	Now, there's a couple things I noticed.
	He's in a tent.
	They had a bunch of tables.
	I didn't see anybody moving when this big laughter took place.
	If he wasn't sweetened, they miked the room, which never...
	This is a casual thing.
	He's up there talking.
	If he got a laugh and he was just normal miking, it would have been his mics, which were very directional.
	He uses, I think, 57s.
	A specific sure mic has two of them, always.
	Pointed right at his face, and they're very directional, and they wouldn't be picking up all that ambience of the room.
	The room was either mic'd, which I doubt, or it was sweetened, and I think it was sweetened.
	It's bullcrap!
	I'll sign it.
	I'm seeing if I can find a crowd.
	Crowd laugh.
	Well, I saw, of course, I saw the video, and without doubt, that is not the ambience that came across, that should come across from, that I even saw.
	Because it was low, the lectern was not raised up.
	I thought it actually looked pretty pathetic.
	Yeah, the four flags just kind of, you know, they were all a little crooked.
	They weren't exactly all in the right place.
	He didn't have his teleprompter set up.
	Probably, yeah, it's very possible.
	Very possible.
	That he made a joke and they didn't have the audio of how hilarious he is and they sweetened it.
	Yeah, and then they sent it out as a press release, you know, video press release.
	A presser, a presser, yeah.
	Well, that was nice.
	I like that.
	Good work.
	Just keeping people apprised of this bull crap that we're subjected to.
	Our native son.
	Our native son.
	Oh man, that was great.
	Yes.
	That's fantastic.
	Back to Trump.
	Oh, you have more?
	Because I was kind of...
	I do have one more Trump.
	I want to mention one last thing.
	This was a clip from the last show we didn't play.
	They're blasting Trump at the meeting of, I guess, international or national, La Raza, which is a Mexican organization that is, by definition, the most racist of organizations.
	La Raza literally means the race.
	Referring to Latinos...
	As the race.
	As the race.
	If it was all white called the race, this would not be acceptable.
	People would lose their shit over it.
	Yes, of course.
	I don't understand why this is tolerated.
	And meanwhile, we have Hillary up there and everybody else blasting...
	Can we say La Raza Blanca?
	La Raza...
	La Paloma, Raza Blanca...
	It sounds like a taco.
	Anyway, just play this and we'll hear it.
	I think he's hijacked the debate.
	I think he's a wrecking ball for the future of the Republican Party with the Hispanic community.
	And we need to push back.
	With Democrats blasting his statements before the Hispanic group La Raza today.
	No one.
	Not Donald Trump, not anyone else, will be successful in dividing us based on race or our country of origin.
	I have just one word for Mr.
	Trump.
	Basta!
	enough basta basta basta enough watch you can wait for it You can wait for the professionally printed signs at Trump rallies with protesters outside with big signs that say BASTA! That would be a good one.
	Then we know how real it was.
	Well, we know how it works.
	They may have not picked up on it.
	Oh yeah, for sure.
	Eh, let me see.
	Now, I said we were going to talk about, was it Iran?
	Yeah, we're going to talk about Iran briefly.
	Yes.
	About this Iran deal.
	Based on, what was it, something in the donation segment.
	So, Kerry was on the Hill.
	Of course, the Senate, who has to ratify this treaty, and it is a treaty.
	It could be set as an...
	The president could set this as an executive order, but then it would, you know, expire.
	And of course, this is a 10-year plan, so it has to continue.
	And therefore, it's a treaty, and therefore, even saying the United Nations agrees, maybe I should play that one first.
	Here's Kerry, who explains exactly how this works, or how we're supposed to believe this works, that the Iranians believe they have a deal, not just with us, but, well, here you go.
	Nobody has a plan that is articulated, that is reasonable, as to how you are going to Strengthen this, do something more, when the Supreme Leader of Iran and the President of Iran and others believe they've signed an agreement with the world.
	And the rest of the world thinks it's a good agreement.
	Now, if you think the Ayatollah is going to come back and negotiate again with an American, that's fantasy.
	You're never going to see that, because we will have proven we're not trustworthy.
	So there you go, because the United Nations Security Council loves it, has approved it, therefore it's a deal with the rest of the world, and you should shut up.
	Stupid senators, you should shut up.
	Especially you Republican senators.
	And now we have Carrie.
	This was a long hearing.
	And Carrie, as we know, is so boring to listen to.
	So I just pulled a couple of clips.
	Now this, I think, plays into...
	In violation of your own rule, by the way.
	But it was a short clip.
	No, no, I'm just saying.
	I'm just pointing out...
	Yeah, but there's no other...
	We've got to talk about it.
	I know, I'm just telling you.
	Yes.
	I don't care.
	It's fine.
	Now, Carey is going to, in this question and answer, is going to play into the rebelization theory of the Middle East.
	But he comes to it in a very interesting way.
	He's almost...
	He's almost manifesting it when I listen to this.
	It's this deal.
	They've made no bones about that.
	Some people do.
	No.
	The former head of Shin Bet believes it's a good deal.
	The former head of the Mossad believes it's a good deal.
	The prime minister does not like this deal.
	Well, the prime minister doesn't.
	I understand that.
	But there are lots of people in Israel who understand this is the best way to proceed in order to roll back Iran's program.
	And make Israel safe.
	Do you think because many in Israel, including the Prime Minister, are very uncomfortable with this deal, that it's now making it more likely than two years ago, for example, that Israel might attempt some unilateral action, military or cyber attack against Iran?
	Well, I think there'd be an enormous mistake, a huge mistake, with grave consequences for Israel and for the region.
	And I don't think it's necessary.
	The fact is that we will have For 15 years, a restraint on Iran that absolutely prevents it from developing a weapon.
	They can't enrich beyond 3.67%.
	You can't make a bomb at 3.67%.
	They will only have 300 kilograms of a stockpile of enriched uranium.
	You can't make a bomb.
	They will have inspections on a daily basis in their enrichment facilities.
	If the Israelis are not convinced and they take that action, where would it leave us?
	Would we support Israel?
	Would this treaty go up in smoke?
	Well, if they bombed them, sure, I presume Iran would then have a reason to say, well, this is why we need a bomb.
	And what Iran will decide to do is dig deeper, because Israel does not have the ability, nor do we, to stop, unless we went to all-out war and literally annihilated Iran, which I don't hear people talking about.
	Oh, you just did.
	Yeah, he's manifesting this.
	He just did.
	Yeah.
	I don't hear people talking about it, but let me be the first to put it out there so I can claim it later, I guess.
	...annihilated Iran, which I don't hear people talking about.
	So if you proceed along a normal, reasonable military operation, you're talking about rolling their program back for two to three years.
	Then what do you do?
	And if you did that, what will Iran's response be?
	Most likely to decide, now you've proven why we need a bomb and they will dig deeper and go out and get it.
	What people forget is, this is not something that may happen in the future, Matt.
	Iran already has enough fissile material for 10 to 12 bonds.
	They haven't decided to make it.
	They haven't done it yet.
	We're rolling that back.
	That's what makes the world safer.
	We have a one-year breakout for 10 years, which is eight months more than you have today.
	So we will have more time to respond.
	I mean, I think as people look at this, they will see.
	The alternative is have no inspectors, not know what Iran is doing, go back to where they are today with the ability to make a bomb, and then you're going to hear everybody say, uh-oh, we've got to go bomb them now.
	Bomb them, bomb them, and bomb them again.
	There you go.
	Seems like he's very clear as to what a scenario would be.
	Then we have...
	That was good.
	That was a good clip.
	Here's a clip that I got from Fox News.
	They did a pretty good job.
	This is a very no-agenda type of compilation they made here.
	There's just not enough time in the day to have done this.
	Also, I don't know all of the...
	They just have the material.
	This is a couple of lies.
	Which I think they categorize as misstatements, but lies that Kerry made up on the Hill when they had the archive footage to go with it.
	It was a good piece.
	Nobody has a plan that is articulated, that is reasonable as to how you are going to strengthen this, do something more, when the Supreme Leader of Iran and the President of Iran and others believe they've signed an agreement with the world.
	And the rest of the world thinks it's a good...
	I'm sorry, hold on.
	I'm completely the wrong one.
	You okay?
	No, there's something strange.
	I'm dragging the clips in, but it's picking a bra...
	I don't know what's going on.
	Here we go.
	Kerry, however, made some demonstrably false statements.
	Nobody has ever talked about actually dismantling their entire program.
	In fact, Kerry himself previously told Congress that dismantlement was the goal of the sanctions.
	We did it because we knew that it would hopefully help Iran dismantle its nuclear program.
	Likewise, Kerry suggested, as he has before, that inaction by the Bush administration tied President Obama's hands.
	When we began our negotiations, they had 19,000 centrifuges.
	Up from the 163 that they had back in 2003 when the prior administration was engaged with them on this very topic.
	In fact, IAEA reports show 75% of Iran's centrifuges were installed on Mr.
	Obama's watch.
	And lastly, there was this, about whether Iran would face anytime, anywhere inspections.
	I can tell you I never uttered the words Anywhere, anytime, nor was it ever part of the discussion that we had with the Iranians.
	In fact, such access was part of the U.S. negotiating posture as late as April of this year.
	Under this deal, you will have anywhere, anytime, 24-7 access as it relates to the nuclear facilities that Iran has.
	That was Ben Rhodes, the National Security Advisor.
	Yeah, this was put together by some organization.
	Oh yeah, and handed to them.
	I agree.
	I agree.
	Yeah, you can tell.
	But they turned it around pretty quickly.
	Then finally, there's some controversy over side deals, which now the...
	That's where the money is.
	Yes.
	And this was brought up with Josh Earnest.
	The man who's laughingly straight about the International Atomic Energy Association side deals that were cut as a part of the overall agreement.
	We do know what the agreement is between Iran and the IAEA. It's not something that I can discuss in this setting, but it is something that can be discussed in classified setting between senior members of the administration and members of Congress.
	The Secretary said he didn't have a copy of it.
	He doesn't know.
	Well, again, you're actually conflating two different things that are important.
	There's one thing between having a copy of the document and knowing exactly what's in it.
	I like that.
	Wow.
	That's a good one.
	That's a good one.
	Like, well, I don't have a copy of the agreement.
	I know exactly what's in it, but I don't have a copy of the agreement.
	Thanks for pointing it out, Josh Ernest.
	The copy and not know what's in it.
	Yeah.
	That would be even stranger.
	This continues a little bit here.
	The United States and our negotiating partners, all the P5-plus-1, are aware of those agreements, and U.S. officials are prepared to brief members of Congress in classified setting about the details about those arrangements.
	I think our position on this, though, is crystal clear, which is that unless Iran cooperates with the IAEA in providing them the access and information that they need to write their report about the potential military dimensions of their nuclear program, then Iran's not going to get any sanctions relief, and the deal won't go forward.
	Well, hey, there's something wrong here.
	There also seems to be a lot of concern over the...
	We grabbed a bunch of Iranian money.
	Was it $100 billion, I think?
	Or $10 billion?
	$100 billion.
	$100 billion.
	We confiscated.
	We stole their money.
	Yeah.
	And there's a big...
	The Republicans seem to be more concerned about, oh, we're giving their money back, and it's immediately going to go to Hamas or some terrorists.
	It seems to me that if somebody...
	Most of this money was confiscated in banks, and it's probably owned by a lot of...
	You know that we discussed this exact topic.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	But did we discuss this part?
	If the money goes back, I'm one of the guys that gets my money back.
	I'm keeping that money.
	I'm not going to go give it to anybody.
	No, we're going to allow you to spend it on American war stuff.
	Right, that's what we talked about.
	I was thinking about this.
	There's got to be...
	It's not just government money.
	It's like when we stole the money from the Russians.
	It's rich guys.
	We've frozen their bank accounts.
	To put pressure on Putin.
	We've taken a bunch of oligarchs' monies and said, nah, you can't spend that money.
	But you can have it back, but you can only spend it on American contractors.
	So there's something going on with my keyboard.
	And it's like there's a key stuck.
	Maybe that's what it is.
	Oh, yeah.
	Just do what I do.
	You take the palm of your hand and you just slam the keyboard just as hard as you can.
	Just bang the whole thing all over.
	I like that.
	Okay.
	That usually makes it work.
	Okay, good.
	The modern-day equivalent of jiggling the handle.
	It's more or less jiggling the handle.
	It seems to have worked, John.
	So far, so good.
	Yeah, so that's Iran.
	Hmm...
	There's a lot of different things.
	A lot of it is flowing together.
	Well, go on.
	Well, a lot of stuff is flowing together, and I wanted to briefly just stop at something.
	This comes from Steck.
	Steck has been all over this for so long, and finally it's coming to fruition.
	This is one of our producers.
	He's one of our producers from the Chicago area.
	Chicago.
	Yeah, Adam.
	I'm Adam from Chicago.
	Yeah.
	This is about James Comey.
	James Comey, who is the new director of the FBI. Nude?
	Nude director with a nude erection.
	He worked at Bridgewater.
	This is the thing that SEC has always been on about.
	Bridgewater is what some people call the weirdest hedge fund.
	It's very strange.
	No one really knows how it works.
	They make interesting investments.
	It's one of these kind of black boxes.
	In 2011, according to this article, President Barack Obama last week asked Congress to grant FBI Director Rob Mueller a two-year extension.
	You recall that the law...
	After some egregious FBI actions in the past was you cannot be the FBI director for longer than 10 years.
	They couldn't find anybody.
	And the top two candidates were U.S. Circuit Judge Merrick Garland, who turned them down.
	And in 2011, Comey turned them down.
	Now, Comey was, at the time, was at Bridgewater at this very strange...
	And, of course, he was a former...
	Was he a prosecutor in New York?
	What was he?
	He was...
	Wasn't he the...
	Wasn't he the New York prosecutor?
	I'm setting you up!
	Call me!
	I don't think so.
	What did he do?
	I'm sorry, I was looking something up.
	He sent Martha Stewart to jail.
	Oh!
	You know, I actually wouldn't have gotten that.
	I forgot.
	Wow.
	Yeah, I've kind of dropped about this.
	Just wow.
	Okay, fine.
	Sorry.
	Okay.
	I know, I've dropped.
	We'll go into that later.
	So we have a...
	One of the investments by Bridgewater at the time, which was also $2 million came from CIA-based In-Q-Tel, is Palantir.
	Right.
	We've talked about them before.
	Yes.
	So Palantir have this, they call it the killer code or the killer app, I think, which they used at Bridgewater to find investment strategies.
	So it's some big data company, and they are right now raising $500 million at a valuation of $15 billion.
	Which is a lot of money, and apparently there's only $50 million left for you to get in on, so this is all marketing, of course.
	But Comey is now bringing in, because...
	Now, is that Palantir or the other operation?
	Palantir.
	And so they were financed initially by Bridgewater.
	Bridgewater then also used their killer app.
	And if you look at the CEO of Palantir, it looks like a douche knucklehead bag.
	What a dick.
	What is this guy's name?
	You've got to look at him.
	He is a smug douche.
	Alexander Karp.
	You'll see it.
	This is a douche, douche, douche, douche.
	But now Comey has no bid contract.
	He's given them a deal.
	In fact, it says here, the Palo Alto, a California company known for providing data crunching technology to the federal government, including the Defense Department and now Homeland Security Department.
	So he is bringing in, also Hershey, Apparently.
	I don't know why Hershey Company would want to use that, but maybe they have a reason.
	So this is...
	This guy, Karp, is a very fishy looking guy for a CEO at a billionaire.
	He's like the kind of guy who insists on having his picture taken in front of his Lamborghini.
	Yeah, with his shades on, with his really dark glasses.
	Yeah.
	So this all flows into the bill now that is being put into Congress to expressly authorize Einstein 3.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	This would mandate the Einstein coverage extend across all civilian government agencies incorporating strong privacy protections, which we know is code, for backdoor.
	This is according to a Carper aide.
	This is Tom Carper, a Democrat from Delaware, speaking on background, which means, you know, secret.
	Don't mention my name.
	The legislation builds on the Federal Information Security Modernization Act, which was signed into law late 2014.
	The Einstein bill comes as a bipartisan group of senators led by Susan Collins.
	So, you know, these guys already have the deal.
	No wonder $500 billion.
	Fuck.
	Raise a billion.
	You're good.
	You're on the government teat.
	Shepherded in by your original investor.
	What happened to the transparency?
	Well, what happened to it never happened.
	Right.
	Now, as backdrop to this, and I'm going to be pulling more clips from this one-hour conversation, there she is again, and I really despise when this happens, the Aspen Institute.
	What is Aspen Institute?
	Is this just a think tank, or what do they do?
	This is Walter Isaacson's operation.
	Tell me about it.
	Now, Walter Isaacson, who we talked about on the show, wrote the Steve Jobs book, then he wrote another book shortly thereafter.
	Somehow, I don't know how this guy runs, and I've said this, I've noticed this before, you find these writers...
	Who are incredibly productive.
	I don't know how they do it, because he's also running the Aspen Institute.
	They have all these guys come in.
	Seems rather spooky to me.
	Well, this is a big douchebag conference with a bunch of elites, a lot of them in Homeland Security at Etiquetera.
	And they and and what's her name?
	Mitchell.
	Andrea Mitchell is the moderator.
	I disagree with the practice of news reporters and anchors and recognized journalists, if you can call Andrea Mitchell that.
	Of course, she's married to Alan Greenspan, so she's an elite.
	Moderating.
	She's hanging out with them.
	Just hanging out.
	Oh, it's so lovely to be a part of this.
	I'm guessing she's getting at least 25 grand.
	Oh, maybe more.
	Maybe more.
	Maybe more.
	I don't think it's worth more, but she could be getting more.
	Yes, it's possible.
	This is one of the ways the media is bought off.
	And this is kind of the first coming out, as far as I'm concerned, of the...
	It's my fee.
	The Speakers Bureau has set my fee.
	I can't help.
	I can't give you a discount.
	This is the coming out, as it were, of the country singer, Loretta Lynch, who is moonlighting as our...
	Attorney General.
	I didn't even have to clip it.
	I removed a little bit of the thank yous and the blowjobs they both gave to other people in the audience because it was just too long and boring.
	But this is the first question out of the gate.
	What you obviously can't hear because you can't see it, when she finishes asking the question, and they both have hand mics, which I feel was a faux pas on part of the production because it's very awkward.
	That way you get the prints.
	What?
	You can get a full handprint.
	You can get...
	You grab the mic and you swap it out for another mic and then they get new prints from someone else.
	You can unlock her iPhone.
	Love it.
	Great idea.
	We should try this.
	That's the only reason you'd use them.
	I'm wearing gloves from now on.
	You should.
	Yeah, I'm wearing gloves.
	Or before you grab the mic, pull out one of those little plastic things.
	I'm going to do this at my induction into the podcasting hall of fame.
	Pull out one of those plastic...
	Restaurant gloves are, you know, scrub gloves.
	Scrub gloves, yeah.
	And then snap it.
	Before I touch the mic, which I'm going to drop anyway.
	John, that's a handy tip.
	Another espionage tip from your No Agenda show.
	Nice.
	Alright.
	But then, after Andrea asked the question, she kind of points the mic at, you know, like a...
	You go.
	Like it was scripted, which of course it is.
	Oh, you...
	Okay, good spot.
	And, you know, just tilting the mic towards her.
	Like, get your mic.
	It's your turn.
	Well, General Lynch, you can see how excited this extraordinary...
	Do you get to be called General if you're Attorney General?
	Is that the deal?
	I don't know.
	We've noticed something crazy like that before.
	I think we maybe like five or six years ago saw someone doing this.
	I guess so.
	I guess so.
	Ten Hut!
	Well, she should wear a uniform then.
	Yeah.
	You should get some ribbons and some fruit salad going, baby.
	Well, General Lynch, you can see how excited this extraordinary crowd is.
	Let me start out by asking you, what do you see as the greatest threat to the homeland from terrorism?
	The homeland.
	Zeke Heil, Andrea.
	The homeland.
	What is it, a bunch of Nazis?
	Who talks that way?
	How about America, our country, the United States?
	Booyah.
	No.
	The homeland.
	With regards to the most serious threat to the homeland from terror.
	Maybe the homeland is Israel.
	Maybe we're just not interpreting this properly.
	Who knows what they mean by the homeland.
	The homeland is usually refers to, I always found it strange that they brought this into the conversation, but maybe they're referring, I mean, the homeland to me always means like, you know, you have a diaspora, a number of people that left some area, they were forced out, and they've always been wanting to return to their homeland, where they all came from years, hundreds of years ago, they want to return.
	That's to me what a homeland is.
	It's not like someplace, you know, it's not Berkeley.
	That's why I said Israel.
	Maybe we're just misinterpreting.
	Who knows?
	Could all be code.
	We don't know.
	It's the greatest threat to the homeland from terrorism.
	With regards to the most serious threat to the homeland from terror, I think we certainly have seen the emergence of different terrorist groups.
	I think the greatest threat overall, frankly, is the fact that the terror threat is morphing.
	It is fracturing.
	It's fracturing and morphing, John.
	Write it down.
	It's expanding.
	Oh, Beyond the old school Al-Qaeda and its offshoots.
	I can just see some guy like, what the fuck?
	I'm old school!
	Al-Qaeda's not old school!
	We OG, baby!
	This old school...
	What is this talk of old school, General?
	Which are still viable organizations.
	They're still dangerous organizations.
	We have made great inroads against Al-Qaeda and its affiliates.
	We have done well in the fight against Al-Qaeda, frankly, due to...
	A great deal of international cooperation and the dedicated work of our military, as well as our intelligence, our law enforcement, and our courts, quite frankly.
	We've prosecuted a large number of them.
	But what we see is the terror threat shifting and morphing.
	For example, it used to be that an al-Qaeda splinter would stay in the Arabian Peninsula or in the Maghreb.
	Wait a minute, the Maghreb?
	Doesn't she mean Maghreb?
	The Magrim.
	She said Magrim.
	Is there such a thing as the Magrim?
	Maybe I'm wrong.
	I don't know.
	I'm going to look it up while you're playing that thing.
	Magrim.
	Well, hold on a second.
	Let me see what the...
	By the way, if anyone wants to read about the Palantir CEO, go to Valleywag.
	Sam Biddle, who's a very funny writer, wrote a piece called Palantir CEO Sounds Completely Insane.
	And it really goes...
	It's very interesting.
	The guy is insane.
	He's a total elite craphead.
	So I'm looking at Magrim, and I get...
	Magrim is the overseer of the dwarven afterlife and first taught the dwarves how to communicate with their gods.
	I have Magrim Power Review.
	It's a diet.
	The Magrim Diet, maybe.
	Magrim Diet Pills, Magrim Power Slimming Capsule.
	I think she means...
	I think she misspoke.
	She meant Magreb, but would Angela...
	Angela Mitchell.
	Whatever.
	Did Angela Mitchell catch her?
	I don't think so.
	And Morphing.
	For example, it used to be that an Al-Qaeda splinter would stay in the Arabian Peninsula or in the Magrim.
	It's like Magrim is dwarf porn or something.
	I don't know.
	The Magrim is complicated.
	You would still know how they operated.
	And now we see the emergence of one of the most recent Al-Qaeda splinters of ISIL, which has grown to a degree.
	Now there is splinter.
	Significantly changed the terror landscape and sort of opened it up for the independent contractors of terrorism.
	Oh, the independent contractors of terrorism.
	Independent contractors of terrorism.
	Yeah, you know what that means.
	It's got to be woofs, man.
	It's got to be woofs.
	Peninsula or in the Magrim.
	Magrim.
	What an idiot!
	I'm sorry.
	Just what an idiot.
	There's something we're missing.
	Maybe we're wrong.
	Well, chat room will find it for us.
	Oh, no, they won't.
	But you would still know.
	know how they operated.
	And now we see the emergence of one of the most recent al-Qaeda splinters of ISIL, which has grown to a degree and significantly changed the terror landscape and sort of opened it up for the independent contractors of terrorism, almost.
	Individuals who need not have a prior affiliation with ISIL, but who can carry out acts of violence, acts of terror, both Europe, Asia, and here, unfortunately, then claim attribution.
	And if ISIL thinks that, in fact, it's an act that advances their goals, they will adopt it also.
	So I would say that we certainly still see the backdrop of the groups we've been fighting for so long, The emergence of new groups.
	And we don't know what's on the horizon, quite frankly.
	So I think that the best way to characterize it is the terror threat is still consistently from foreign terrorist organizations, although we do have, sadly, domestic terrorists as well.
	And the splinting and morphing of that is a great concern to all of us who fight this issue.
	Oh, yes.
	The splinting and morphing.
	Splinting.
	Splinting?
	Say splintering or splinting?
	Did she say splinting the last time?
	I thought she said splinting.
	Back it up.
	Maybe I misheard.
	Foreign terrorist organizations, although we do have, sadly, domestic terrorists as well.
	And the splinting and morphing of that is a great concern.
	They have broken limbs.
	They need splinting.
	She said splinting.
	This has got to be her M.O. We're going to hear nothing but this stuff.
	I love her.
	She's going to be great.
	I like her.
	Happy to have you, General.
	Major General Sir.
	General Major.
	Whatever.
	Nice.
	Yeah, she's perfect.
	Splinting in the mcgrim.
	Perfect.
	So, I guess we then look at some more Lone Wolf stuff.
	Wolf!
	The Lone Wolf's Lafayette shooting.
	Oh.
	You know, I didn't think that this had anything to do with anything, and I still don't.
	I do have an interesting clip, though.
	I have a clip that I would like to play.
	Well, you want to hear the Louisiana shooting, just a little intro from PBS? I have a little intro from ABC. I think your intro would work as well as mine.
	Let me play yours.
	Let me see.
	It's just a shorty.
	A shorty?
	And it's called?
	It's called Louisiana Shooting.
	Oh, that would make total sense.
	Okay.
	Police are searching for a motive after last night's shooting at a Louisiana movie theater.
	Authorities say 59-year-old John Russell Hauser killed two and injured nine others before killing himself.
	Court documents from years ago showed Hauser was mentally ill and prone to violence to the extent he was hospitalized against his will and his wife hid his guns.
	Yeah.
	Is this a lone wolf?
	So what do they need a motive for?
	Yeah, the guy was on drugs, on the crazy drugs.
	Right.
	Crazy drugs.
	He's a lunatic.
	Yeah, drugs.
	It's the drugs.
	I'm not taking these drugs anymore.
	Or my insurance won't pay for these drugs anymore.
	Which is possible.
	It happens a lot.
	That would be the motive.
	Well, here's ABC. In 2001, Hauser placed a swastika on the outside of the bar he owned, but denied he was a Nazi sympathizer.
	Hauser was well-educated and politically active, even running for office as an ultra-conservative anti-tax crusader in Georgia.
	I think he portrayed himself as a community watchdog against government.
	Tonight, investigators are scouring Hauser's postings on known anti-government websites, hoping perhaps to find some answers there.
	Known anti-government websites, like search.nashownotes.com.
	We're not anti-government.
	Oh, but that's how it's classified.
	Probably.
	Okay, from that we can move back in time to Chattanooga.
	This was pointed out to me today, and can't really do it complete justice in audio, but I will tell you what is wrong with the reporting.
	Now, there were five killed, I believe, at the base.
	On the base?
	I don't know the exact number.
	I think it was four at first, then it became five, something like that.
	Throughout the day, the names of the Marines slowly emerged.
	Some who had fought in wars abroad ambushed here in Chattanooga.
	40-year-old Gunnery Sergeant Thomas Sullivan of Hampden, Massachusetts, a Purple Heart recipient and veteran of two tours in Iraq.
	21-year-old Lance Corporal Skip Wells of Cobb County, Georgia, had joined the Corps just two years ago.
	So they show a picture of...
	And by the way, it wasn't a base, it was a recruiting station.
	I'm sorry, recruiting station, you're right.
	So they show the picture of Skip Wells, you know, one of those typical ones that you have on the mantelpiece with your military, with your...
	Yeah, flag behind you.
	Yeah, the whole thing.
	Skip Wells died in Iraq in 2009.
	That would be something wrong with the reporting.
	Yeah.
	And they use the same picture, and so it could just be the reporting, it could be whatever it is, but Skip Wells, the one they speak of, and the one whose picture they show, died in Iraq in 2009.
	Well, you stumbled onto something here.
	Where'd you get that one?
	Well, it was sent to me.
	We have producers, man.
	Yes, we have producers, man.
	We have producers, man.
	Dude.
	Did you just dude me?
	I'd dude you, man.
	Well, not in a manner of speaking.
	Good one.
	What about the other guys?
	No news on them yet.
	No news on them yet.
	Well, that's awfully suspicious.
	Yeah.
	And that was an event that coincided with the six-week cycle.
	I do not see that.
	I don't think the Louisiana thing has anything to do with anything.
	I think it's just some...
	I think it's a drug.
	Some guy off his drugs, insurance wouldn't pay for it, wants to go off the drugs.
	Next thing you know, the guy's nuts.
	And he was...
	Sleepwalking and shooting people.
	Right.
	And he was...
	Well, he was like...
	58?
	Was he older than that?
	Yeah, he was like 58.
	He was something like that.
	Not your typical MO. No, he's not the typical stooge that he used in these phony deals.
	Yeah.
	So something to keep an eye on.
	Information that I have not heard anywhere.
	Well, this is your No Agenda show, and we might as well just bring out one more topic before we thank some people.
	This is one of our favorite topics.
	I love bugs Bugs, bugs, bugs Tastes like poop Exactly.
	Add on there.
	I think this thing's good.
	Okay, go on.
	I think we have already discussed this girl.
	Bug eater?
	You know, CNN, this is the lifestyle reporter.
	She's mad.
	Why can't I find her?
	I thought I'd pull the keyboard some more.
	Well, it doesn't seem to be working.
	This is the cute girl on CNN. Ah, why can't I find this?
	A couple cute girls.
	Yeah, but she's young.
	She's really young.
	Well, hold on a second.
	Before I even...
	Well, I'll play the clip.
	And then, in the meantime, I will have found...
	I will have found what her name is.
	She's young.
	She's new.
	She's hip.
	She does the lifestyle reporting.
	And she is out there propagating the eating of bugs as a future nutrient for you all.
	Y'all.
	When I see bugs, I want to stomp on them.
	I want to swap them.
	I want to raid them.
	She is just an angry woman.
	Yeah, she wants to raid them.
	She wants to raid them.
	When I see bugs, I want to stomp on them.
	I want to swap them.
	I want to raid them.
	Definitely not.
	Rachel Crane.
	That's who she is.
	You have to take that little piece there and use it as an evergreen.
	Good idea.
	I will ISO that.
	You know what?
	I'll actually do that while we're playing it.
	Rachel Crane.
	She is the digital correspondent for CNN. Interesting that she'd be named after a bird that likes to eat bugs.
	When I see bugs, I want to stomp on them.
	I want to swap them.
	I want to raid them.
	Definitely not eat them.
	But that's exactly what I'm about to do.
	Hi, I'm Mario.
	Nice to meet you, Mario.
	Thanks for having us.
	Thank you.
	Alright, can we step inside your kitchen?
	Yes, please.
	So these bugs are not New York City bugs.
	You're saying these bugs are from Mexico.
	They've come a long way from Mexico.
	Yeah, I am.
	What inspired you to create a restaurant where people would be eating...
	Hey, hey, stop.
	Caterpillar.
	Yes.
	Where's the eat local theme?
	The...
	Yeah, really?
	We dropped the ball on that.
	We should have local bugs.
	Yeah, this is no good.
	They're everywhere.
	This is horrible.
	There's grasshoppers.
	Worms.
	In Mexican cuisine, it has an important part of gastronomy.
	Are these delicacies?
	I mean, how expensive are these bugs?
	Hold on a second.
	You're telling me in Mexican...
	What he's saying is the following.
	There's a lot of subtle stuff going on.
	This is a message saying, hey, in Mexican restaurants, there's lots of bugs in food.
	When I see bugs, I want to stomp on them.
	I want to swap them.
	I want to raid them.
	Yeah, that's ISO now.
	Got it.
	On the fly.
	Back to her.
	Really expensive.
	They're garbage worms.
	That can cost like $200 a pound.
	$200 a pound for worms?
	Guacamole is great just as is.
	Why add ants to it?
	Why add ants?
	Guac is good.
	Black ants, they have a spicy shrimp taste.
	So it's not just like a novelty addition?
	No, no, no.
	And it's really simple, but at the same time a little complex with all the ingredients on the...
	And the ants.
	Yeah, the ants.
	Not so simple when you add ants to it.
	Okay, here goes nothing.
	Very strong flavor too.
	Wow, it's really weird to open up the taco and see a bug in there.
	Hey, babe, it's really good to open up the taco and see a bug in there.
	This is so wrong on so many levels.
	And the thing is, she's so cute while she does it.
	She's so cute to be shoving in the bugs into her pie hole.
	It's humiliating feature story.
	But you know what?
	She's in show business.
	Let's be honest.
	She's in show business.
	Open up the taco and see a bug in there.
	This is the guacamole with the amps.
	Cheers.
	- Cheers.
	- Okay.
	- Good. - It's all good. - This is so not what I would think the ants would taste like.
	Oh, that's a big ant.
	I'm going to leave that one there for you.
	Do I have ants in my teeth?
	No, you have to do that.
	We're good?
	Grasshopper crusted shrimp tacos.
	I didn't know at first I was wary.
	I was hesitant.
	You just convinced me with this guy.
	You just got me.
	I'm officially a bug eater.
	And she's licking her fingers.
	She's licking her fingers while she's eating that.
	Is that it?
	That's your future.
	Clip of the day.
	Clip of the day.
	Oh, wow.
	Thank you.
	Oh, I wasn't even expecting that.
	It was so gross, I have to give you Clip of the Day.
	Well, that is appreciated, and I humbly accept it.
	Clip of the day.
	When I see bugs, I want to stomp on them, I want to swap them, I want to raid them.
	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.
	We do have a few people to say thank you to for show 742B.
	Before we do that, though, I think if you take that evergreen clip and take the bugs part off the beginning of it and just say, I want to stomp them, I want to do this, I want to raid them, and then throw it on there with, I want to bomb them.
	And use it and combine it so that it sounds like something you want to bomb them, bomb them again, and raid them.
	Okay, so we...
	It has potential, let's put it that way.
	Hmm.
	And so does Daniel Woodleaf in Pittsburgh, North Carolina.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	I really like that donation amount.
	It just rolls off the tongue.
	It's nice.
	And of course, Sir Daniel Borowski in Spokane, Washington, comes in with the same amount.
	But he sends a note in, which I have to read, because his notes are always on United Federation of Planets stationary.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
	Which means they're official business.
	It's the real deal.
	Thanks for keeping our minds clear of the garbage put out there by the mainstream media and the government so that we can think clearly.
	I hit my brother in the mouth last week.
	I hope it takes.
	W-A-6-0-M-I. Oh, I'm sorry.
	W-A-6-O-M-I. I keep always saying zero for that.
	In the morning and 7-3s.
	7-3s.
	You want to try this?
	I think I did it here.
	Let's try this.
	See if it works.
	See if this is what you meant.
	When I see bugs, I want to stomp on them.
	I want to swap them.
	I want to raid them.
	Bomb them.
	Bomb them.
	And bomb them again.
	That's it?
	That's what's true.
	But I was thinking when I see bugs part be excised, and then you can use that as an evergreen one to, you know, attack.
	I have that.
	I have that.
	I have that separate.
	Okay.
	But then would they bomb them or not?
	Yeah, sure.
	Okay.
	We got them.
	Good.
	Oh, you're not going to do it now?
	Well, this is what I just played.
	Oh, no, you should have had the bugs part still on there.
	What I was thinking, it was taking that bugs part off and then using that on the other end of the bomb.
	Oh, bomb them, bomb them, then I want to raid them.
	Oh, I see.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Keep going and I'll work on that.
	Okay.
	Sir Donald Borowski, we just read his note.
	James Wells in Flagstaff, Arizona, $100.
	Ian Larson in Riverhead, New Zealand, $100.
	And he had an email.
	Did you get an email from him?
	From Ian Larson?
	Yeah, Ian Larson.
	We will read your email, but probably not on the air.
	No, wait, we had some notes from Eric.
	Did you see the notes?
	Yeah, the note refers mostly to the one coming up.
	Hold on, Ian, let me just check.
	Is it Ian Larson?
	Yeah.
	You might as well, because we don't have that many people on this particular list today.
	I, uh, no.
	Don't have anything.
	Okay, well, we'll worry about it later.
	Don't have it.
	Mark Bensink in Lansing, Michigan, 75-85.
	Likes our deconstructions.
	Nico Fusaro, Old Greenwich, Connecticut, 75.
	Dave Carey, 74-10, which is another vote for the United States.
	Claremont, Florida.
	He says, by the way, job karma has led to a promotion here at work.
	Huh?
	And he's also known as Sir Dingaling.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm back.
	Patrick Daly in Rochester, New Hampshire.
	And this is the note we were going to read.
	$74 from Rochester, New Hampshire.
	My older brother, Rick Daly, was found drowned in his swimming pool.
	Well, this goes along with our mediocre donations today.
	Was found downer.
	Was found drowning in the swimming pool this past Friday.
	He was 47.
	Anyway, can you please give him some traveling karma and also some general karma for his beautiful wife and two kids?
	Of course, I'm doing that right now.
	That's horrible.
	That's terrible.
	You've got karma.
	That sucks.
	That's a day wrecker.
	It's a day wrecker, to say the least.
	Hold on.
	Bomb them, bomb them, and bomb them again.
	I want to stomp on them, I want to swap them, I want to raid them.
	Yeah, something like that.
	I'll work on it.
	It's good stuff.
	It's good stuff for our producers out there who want to add extra little ditties to the bomb them thing.
	We're very sorry about your brother.
	Yeah, it's terrible.
	It's hard to imagine.
	Joy Davenport, Glendale, Arizona, 69-69.
	And we have a birthday coming up for Ahmed Bedron.
	Brandon St.
	Armand.
	Armand.
	Is it Armand or Armand?
	Armand, I don't know.
	It's Armand, I think.
	It's side face.
	R-N also looks like an M. 67-89 in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada.

	Josh McDonald, double nickels on the dime from Parts Unknown.
	Scrolling down, Ethan Smith in Lexington, Kentucky.
	Apologize for being a douchebag for over 200 shows.
	He donated $54.32.
	John personally replied to one of my emails and it spurred me to get off my ass and make a donation.
	I read everyone's emails.
	They don't respond to all of them.
	I'd like to call out Jay Hamilton as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	This is important because he's the douchebag who hit me in the mouth but has recently fallen overboard.
	I wish I'd read that.
	It's not too much to ask.
	Well, we don't do these in the middle of this.
	No, but we can always do this.
	Man overboard!
	We can always do that.
	We've got the man overboard, and of course, the one I was trying to avoid, which you avoided, thankfully, is the other one.
	Oh, you mean...
	Eric Van...
	Okay.
	Eric Van Marder of Van Nuys, California, $53.
	Sir Kevin Payne, a regular, $50.69 out of Richmond, Virginia.
	Sir Inside Jobs out of Seattle, Washington, $50.66.

	He donated $50.27.
	Columbus, Mississippi.
	In lieu of coffee, I pledge $50 each month and 27 cents for the club.
	Something could catch on.
	Anyone who wants to donate $50.27.
	And he has a birthday for his dad.
	We'll do that in a minute.
	And a birthday coming up.
	And finally, these are all $50 donors.
	We don't have that many.
	In fact, we have a very few.
	One, two, three, four, five, six.
	We send a mailing out to 14,000 people, and usually there's about 10 or 20 $50 donors, but six today.
	I blame July.
	Donald Napier in Chicago, Illinois.
	Bryn Evans in Berwick, Victoria, Australia.
	Chad Rich and DiBendigo, 50.
	Shane Rosdilsky, Rosdilsky in Saskatoon with another birthday shout-out for Sir Chasen.
	And finally, Joe Schwartzbauer in Florissant, Missouri.
	And our buddy Bogdan Lejandro in Roanoke, Texas, 50.
	That's it.
	That's it.
	That's all we got for a show of 742.
	I want to remind people to do a show coming up.
	Subpar, subpar, subpar.
	It was subpar.
	I hate the yo-yo.
	I just don't like the yo-yo.
	Yeah, we'd like more consistency.
	Yeah, please.
	I love it when people try and make up, but it's so tiring.
	Like, okay, donation down.
	If it goes up, it goes down.
	And we saw they got a ton of money.
	I'm not going to donate anything.
	It's great.
	A ton of money.
	Well, this is your No Agenda show.
	You produce it.
	You put everything together.
	We are conduits for you.
	Obviously, you need to support the conduits.
	The conduits not supported.
	The rain is going to...
	And don't forget, without us, we're the only honest show out there because we don't have commercials.
	We don't have corruption.
	The only show you can get like that.
	And the only show that will keep you from eating bugs.
	We will be on the lookout for these things they're trying to make you eat.
	Protecting you from greeting bugs.
	We're protecting you in every which way.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Dvorak.org slash N.A.
	And a short list that goes along with short donors.
	Joy Davenport says happy birthday to Ahmet Badran.
	Barry Coggins congratulates his dad, who celebrates today, July 26th.
	And Shane Rosdilsky says happy birthday to his brother, Jason Rosdilsky, who turned 25 on July 22nd.
	Happy birthday from the staff and management here at the Best Podcast in the Universe.
	And then, of course, only one nighting, but this is Sir B-Anonymous, so we ask the anonymous donor to be careful...
	Close call.
	To get up on the stage here, I'll grab mine, okay?
	Here you go.
	Anonymous, thank you very much for your support.
	In the amount of $1,000 or more to the best podcast in the universe, we are very proud to welcome you with a seat here.
	You've got a seat at the table, the round table, the Knights and Danes, and I hereby pronounce the KD, Sir Phenonymous, Knights of the Noah General Round Table.
	For you, my friend, we have Hookers and Blow, Rent Boys and Chardonnay, Drams and DMT, Bad Science and Perky Breast.
	We've got Dos Equis and Dutch Dominators, Ass Cream with Bear Fillings, Porn Stars and Pot, Maker's Mark and Mushrooms, Whiskey and Wet Whites, Cuban Cigars and Single Malt Stotch, and obviously, Mutton and Mead is always there to end up the list because it's such a tasty combination.
	You do better with Mutton and Mead than Hookers and Blow.
	Just take my word for it.
	I've been around.
	Go to noagendanation.com slash rings and put your info there, and Eric the Shield will get it out to you ASAFP.
	I have a thing to start off the second half with.
	Okay.
	So I dig it through my...
	I have a pile of...
	Not that it's a collection, but I have a pile of hard disks from various machines I once owned.
	I always take and discard the machine in some way to an electron, so I always pull the hard disks out with some intention someday in the future, taking a big giant drill and drilling a hole in each one so that you can't...
	Hold on.
	Is this some kind of tech news?
	No, it's not.
	What, you want it to be tech news?
	I don't know.
	I'm just asking if it's tech news.
	No, it's not really.
	In the process of doing this, I have a couple of these disk readers.
	Now they're USB 3 versions of them.
	You just slam the disk into this device, the disk drive, and then it hooks it up and pretends to be a USB drive.
	And so you can go through old stuff.
	I don't know why I'd want to do this, but I'm looking for stuff I lost.
	And so I found this old clip from, I don't know, five or six years.
	Talk about stuff that gets forgotten.
	And I'm going to probably do one of these clips every show from now on.
	I don't even know if that's proper English.
	It gets forgotten.
	It gets forgotten.
	It's probably not.
	But let's play it so we can just remind ourselves that, you know, a lot of these news stories, they cycle out of the, they cycle away.
	We forget about them.
	And there's something that we need to be reminded that this actually happened.
	And this one is Al Gore sex molester.
	The sex that poodle.
	My exclusive interview with Bachelor Jake's coming up, but right now, another Al Gore scandal.
	First, it was the cheating rumors, and now, accusations of sexual assault.
	Jerry's got the police reporting what Al's saying today.
	The breakup, forced to deny cheating claims, and now Al Gore's bad month just got worse.
	The shocking allegation today, Gore, the target of a sex charge investigation.
	Extra with a 73-page police report listing Gore as the suspect.
	The allegation, unwanted sexual contact.
	The woman leveling the stunning claims of 54-year-old massage therapist who says it all went down during and after she gave him a massage in this posh Portland hotel.
	She says it was 2006, one day before Gore appeared at this fundraiser, just a few months after the premiere of Gore's documentary, An Inconvenient Truth.
	I am Al Gore.
	I used to be the next president of the United States of America.
	Gore attorneys have denied the story, calling it completely false.
	Now Extra launching our own investigation.
	Extra!
	Exhibit A. The case is already closed.
	Police shutting the book on this one back in 07, saying there was insufficient evidence.
	Police said they would have investigated.
	She never filed charges.
	Exhibit B. The National Enquirer says the woman only went back to police last month after she failed to sell her story for one million dollars.
	But the most important exhibit could be DNA evidence.
	One report says the woman has the pants she wore on the alleged day locked away in a safety deposit box.
	The question now, what should Al Gore do next?
	Until Al Gore comes out and talks about this in some capacity, these rumors are just going to kind of percolate and stay around.
	Today, a spokesman tells Extra, the Gores have no comment on the report.
	Do whatever you're going to do!
	I'm not scum like you!
	You go to your daddy Satan anytime you want, I'll never join you!
	You understand that filth?
	Well, since you're doing that, then why don't we...
	And by the way...
	What?
	Just as a capper.
	This did not percolate in just...
	No, nothing happened.
	Something got bought off.
	Nothing happened.
	But I'm going to do some real news here since you brought it up.
	And now, back to real news.
	Initial reports of the fatal accident along PCH had Bruce Jenner at the tail end of a chain reaction crash, where a Lexus rear-ended a Prius, and then Jenner's Escalade pushed the Lexus into oncoming traffic.
	69-year-old Kim Howe was killed when a Hummer hit her car.
	But AP sources now say video shows Jenner's SUV hit both cars, and the Lexus never did hit the Prius to begin with.
	A version reflected in a new animated video created even before the AP source came forward.
	Now this is very annoying, because I'm pretty sure that this happened so close to the Diane Sawyer interview, and now of course we're about to launch the reality show, I think it airs the end of this month, or docudrama, or whatever it is.
	Well, we better look at the timeline on this, because my understanding is I've talked, or people have talked to me about this, and they claim, people that are a little out there, that this happened before any of his decisions or anything else to become a woman.
	But you know that the deal was already set.
	No, this happened.
	They had been negotiating with the ESPYs, with ESPN, owned by ABC. They negotiated all of this months ahead of time.
	So I'm pretty sure what happened is this went down.
	We can't have this guy being in jail because we have an interview with him.
	Everything's planned.
	It's all set up.
	So they had to kill it.
	And now they have video.
	And you see the video.
	It's very obvious what happened.
	Where'd they get the video?
	MTA. Did you listen to the report?
	Yeah, I thought they said they recreated it.
	No, they have the video.
	They don't own it.
	I didn't have a good clip, but I've seen the video.
	And it's from an MTA bus.
	Oh, yeah.
	The buses are all equipped with cameras.
	In San Francisco, this to me is annoying.
	The buses are all equipped with cameras so they can have the license plates of people who happen to be in the bus lanes so they can give them a ticket by mail to make more money.
	That's right.
	It's all going to end with the Google auto driving car.
	It's all going to end, people.
	level in but that's going to be not tomorrow this is where i thought you were going john as you uh announced the second half of the show and there's only one clip that needs to be played for this second half of show the
	The mother of a missing Oxnard woman, Dawn Vadbunker, believes that her daughter is in the middle of a mysterious death investigation tonight and may be having a mental breakdown.
	This past week, police found a man's decomposing body in an SUV parked in the Palisades.
	And, at a townhouse down the street, they found hundreds of guns and tons of ammunition.
	Well, it turns out that the dead man's fiancée, Catherine Nebron, is Dawn Vadbunker's boss, and the two women were with the man when he died.
	But they never reported the death, because they believed he was a secret agent, but with a twist.
	He was part alien and part human.
	Nice.
	And he was out to save the world and he was higher than the CIA and that every time we were there that we were being watched.
	And the women apparently believe that alien or CIA operatives would collect the man's body while they went to Oregon.
	There was craziness that was totally nuts.
	Harlan Braun is the fiance's attorney and is shocked by what was discovered at the Palisades home.
	We found guns, we found stuff that could be used for snipers, there are cars that were modified for desert travel.
	He could have been working for anyone.
	It's hard to imagine, however, that it's a total figment of his imagination because there was so much money involved.
	There's almost five million dollars worth of guns that were taken by the police.
	The police also uncovered six and a half tons of ammunition at one condo in the Palisades.
	Laura Van Bunker isn't quite sure why her daughter believes the alien secret agent story, but she wants her to come home now and get some help.
	It's a great story.
	That's a great story.
	Where'd you pick that up from?
	Has been around.
	Probably tweeted to me 20 times.
	What can I say other than makes total sense to me?
	Yeah, I'm all in on that.
	There's a term I want everyone to be on the lookout for, by the way.
	It's been cropping up.
	I don't think it cropped up in relation to this story, although it could have.
	The term kill bag.
	Have you heard this?
	No, I have not heard that.
	So a kill bag, and there's been a couple of these.
	Let's see, this is the college Liam Libard.
	I think this is in the UK, maybe.
	Wait, let me just double check this article, make sure.
	And I've seen it in a couple, it's been cropping up, a kill bag, and a kill bag is something that if you're an evil man, of course always a man, there's never a woman, then you have a kill bag either in the boot of your car or in your apartment, and the kill bag contains things to cut you up with, a shovel to dig a hole, you know, any kind of stuff, acid, Multiple ingredients to the kill bag.
	Well, the kill bag, if you look it up and Google what a kill bag is, where this stems from, it's a fishing term.
	It is, correct.
	And fishermen have these kill bags and it's like you've got your dead fish in there.
	Right.
	I guess you guys have the thing to scrape the stuff.
	Well, it's gloves, boots, coveralls, masks so you don't throw up from the smell of the body that's decomposing.
	All of this stuff.
	Kill bag.
	Just be on the lookout for it.
	It's just a little tip.
	I just want everyone to be on the lookout for the kill bag.
	I have a feeling this is going to crop up more and more.
	I'll put it down.
	I'll put it and highlight it.
	Okay.
	Today's show date.
	Then I think it behooves us to speak about the war on crazy, which is now taking place once again.
	We pretty much predicted this, that the government would use any type of database or anything they have to In order to take guns away from law-abiding American citizens.
	And Sam Johnson, who is a Republican from Texas, an older guy, he made a short but sweet little...
	A little speech there on the floor.
	Mr.
	Speaker, President Obama is at it again.
	He's at it again.
	He's now seeking to deny millions of law-abiding Americans their Second Amendment right to bear arms by going through Social Security.
	And why is that?
	Because he couldn't get gun control through the Congress.
	The American people wouldn't stand for it.
	Mr.
	Speaker, old age or disability does not make someone a threat to society.
	These folks should be able to defend themselves just like everyone else.
	As chairman of the Social Security Subcommittee and a staunch defender of the Second Amendment, I will do everything in my power to stop this gun grab.
	Yesterday, I ordered the Commissioner of Social Security to stand down and abandon any such plan.
	Mark my words, American Second Amendment rights must and will be protected.
	So, of course, I looked into this because it sounds kind of, you know, I don't like the way the representative, the congressman from Texas sets that up.
	Mr.
	President's at it again.
	You make yourself like a dumbass hick.
	If there is something real to this, I even found Snopes saying, hey, it's partially true.
	What the idea is, is to forbid anyone who receives Social Security but does not cash the checks themselves from owning any firearms.
	Wow, that's a funny one.
	Yeah.
	The thought there is, well, you're not smart enough to balance a checkbook.
	You can't have a gun.
	What if you're one of the DuPonts and you're just having your secretary go and cash the check?
	Yeah, you're hitting all the points.
	Of course, there was quite a bit of gun discussion.
	The president appeared on the BBCs.
	If you ask me where has been the one area where I feel that I've been most frustrated and most stymied, It is the fact that the United States of America is the one advanced nation on earth in which we do not have sufficient common sense gun safety laws.
	Is this true?
	No.
	And what constitutes...
	Can I ask you another question?
	A point of information.
	Yes, sir.
	So the idea is that you get sent a Social Security check and then you don't cash it.
	If someone else cashes that for you, someone else is managing.
	Well, I believe if I'm not mistaken, if I'm looking at my regulations correctly, the Social Security Administration sometime about, I don't know, a year, maybe two years ago, required everyone to sign up for a direct deposit.
	There is no checks anymore.
	Huh.
	Wow.
	Or there are no checks anymore.
	Good catch.
	Something's fishy about this.
	Hmm.
	Well, we will have to see what comes of it.
	Let me see if I can...
	So this is about 4 million social security...
	Let me just see if I can find it.
	It was hard to find the actual proposal, of course.
	Well, you could always call the congressman's office and they'll give you the reference.
	I'm sure.
	We need to call these guys more often.
	So here's the genesis of this.
	Well, the White House, you know, has always planned to expand prohibitions on people owning guns, and they start with the Social Security payments that are handled by others.
	Specifically, the plan would require the Social Security Administration to report those recipients to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, the NICS.
	The same process used to prevent guns from being sold to felons, drug addicts, immigrants in the country illegally, and others.
	In 2013, President Obama issued an order directing all federal agencies to improve their reporting to NICS.
	Under that directive, the prohibitions were expanded to include the Social Security Administration.
	And this is already happening with the Veterans Administration.
	The same background checks process is already used by the Department of Veteran Affairs to prohibit some veterans from owning firearms.
	Yeah, this is a classic.
	We talked about this on the show before.
	It's a classic.
	A veteran comes back from a war zone and he can't use a gun because he doesn't know what he's doing.
	If you are deemed mental defective, that's a category in the NICS database.
	I wonder what that means.
	Does that include...
	Global warming denial?
	Global warming?
	Probably.
	Post-traumatic stress syndrome?
	Probably.
	Yeah, a little bit of that.
	Probably.
	So CNN, of course, is all over this.
	They love this.
	I watch CNN, so you don't have to.
	I just don't understand why we can't seem to resolve that issue, this issue, and we're just confronted over and over again with these mass shootings.
	It's...
	When will our legislators and our politicians get on board and realize that this is an issue that we have to deal with?
	If common sense ruled the day, then we would look at these shootings and say, we have to be more realistic with an interpretation of the Second Amendment that makes sense in 2015.
	Oh, slippery slope!
	Here we go.
	It happens all the time.
	We could do a whole show just about this.
	Let's play this.
	I have two to finish.
	Two to finish.
	No segue clips.
	But you're going to segue right after I'm done with the second clip.
	Okay.
	Kids are dying.
	Sandy Hook.
	Movie goers are dying.
	Young kids are dying.
	I like this.
	Movie goers are dying.
	Hey, we can't have movie goers dying.
	That's our bread and butter over here at Time Warner.
	Hey, you can't have that.
	That makes sense in 2015.
	We just have to because our kids are dying.
	Sandy Hook.
	I love that.
	Just go, Sandy Hook!
	New moviegoers are dying.
	Moviegoers are dying.
	This is our audience.
	We can't have them dying.
	Young kids are dying.
	Young kids.
	But for whatever reason, we're just maintaining this immunity of reality or common sense when it comes to the way we're killing each other.
	This will be, I think, his biggest defeat.
	This is a president, when you have these types of things happen, and frankly, any time something happens to young people, to children, you see this president, he throws out the playbook, he tries to do something.
	He really thought he was going to be able to do something, pass any kind of bill, break this logjam, and honor the dead, those dead children.
	When he was unable to do that, Dead children.
	It was a heartbreaking moment for him.
	And I don't think he's really recovered from it.
	So every time now you see these massacres, he feels a personal sense of failure, not having been able to get more done.
	When you look at the Obama legacy, a lot to be proud of, a lot he's going to be frustrated with.
	This will be the one thing that he goes to his grave feeling.
	Why was I not able to get more done on this particular issue?
	Yeah.
	Well, because it's in the Constitution, and if you want to change it, change the Constitution, make an amendment.
	Write an amendment.
	That's the way to go.
	Pass it around.
	Have everyone vote on it.
	And there you go.
	That'll do it.
	That'll do everything you want.
	And I would be, if we en masse decide gone with the Second Amendment, I'd say, okay, that's what we all decided.
	Yeah, no one's done that.
	Now, CarolCNN at Facebook.com slash CarolCNN.
	This is very interesting, this report.
	This woman, they have a field reporter talking about the CDC who wanted to do a report about people who have mental issues not being sound or fit to own a firearm.
	Which, of course, would be very dangerous if they actually got into it, because anyone who's on these drugs that are handed out like candy, I would like to remind everyone that there are more prescriptions for OxyContin in the United States than there are adults who can actually take it.
	What was the number again?
	220 million?
	I forget what it was.
	It's a bonanza.
	It's a real bonanza.
	And that's pretty much heroin.
	This woman who reports it, it's very strange.
	She wasn't allowed to comment on it, but Carol CNN did it for her.
	It's strange.
	And I think, most interestingly, one thing the president tried to do in his last round of executive orders was to allow the CDC to do studies on gun violence, just studies.
	But the CDC hasn't really wanted to do that out of fears that if they studied gun violence in America, that Congress would then try to cut certain funding.
	So that's the kind of impasse that the president faces.
	And to say that this would be an uphill battle to try to change things, Carol, is putting it very, very lightly.
	Well, it's a sad world when you can't even do a study without fear of repercussion.
	That's ridiculous.
	All right, Michelle Kosinski, I know you can't comment.
	I'm sorry to lay that on you, but I just had to say it.
	Michelle Kosinski reporting live from Kenya this morning.
	So here's what happened.
	She just made it up.
	Well, so here's what happens.
	She says, I didn't want to do it because they didn't want to do it.
	Boy, she says, Michelle Kaczynski, whatever her name is, I know you can't comment on it.
	And she's with the president in Kenya.
	Maybe that's it.
	And she does that mouth, zipper mouth movement.
	Like, my lips are filled.
	My lips are zipped up.
	Why?
	Why can't she comment on it?
	Is that part of the deal when you travel with the president to Kenya?
	No.
	That was a very fishy clip.
	Why can't she comment on it?
	Because it's a lie.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, there may be that.
	Transition.
	She didn't want to throw it in her face, or she didn't want to have the CDC guys call her up shortly thereafter.
	That's not true.
	There's a lot of reasons we didn't do these studies, because we didn't have any money for them.
	We didn't get any funding for these studies.
	We didn't do the studies if we weren't so cheap, wanting us to volunteer to do them.
	We've got other things to do.
	Besides that, it's got nothing to do with us.
	It's disease control we're dealing with here.
	I mean, that's possible.
	Could be.
	Transition clip?
	Oh, well, you know, I think you cover what you wanted to cover, because you're talking about war on crazies.
	I got some other stuff that's kind of different, but we're running out of time.
	I do have this bullcrap report.
	I might as well play this.
	Okay.
	Sorry.
	Sorry.
	You already found it.
	Yeah.
	Because it's largely written as bullpen.
	It was easy to find.
	Let's play this clip, talk about it a little bit.
	But NASA has been getting on my nerves because they're full of crap about a lot of stuff.
	But this, although I think this has been embellished by the news reporters, this is just nonsense.
	Yeah.
	Well, some news now that you might say is out of this world.
	NASA has found Earth's closest cousin, they say, and they suggest it might be able to support life.
	Now, this discovery comes thanks to the space agency's Kepler Space Telescope.
	But don't pack your bags for Earth 2.0 just yet.
	Our twin planet is some 1,400 light-years away.
	So, is there life out there?
	Julia Kim, where's the evidence?
	Liftoff of the Delta II rocket with Kepler on a search for planets in some way like our own.
	Hurtling into space more than six years ago, the Kepler telescope has made an astounding discovery.
	In a faraway solar system located in the constellation of Cygnus, Earth's closest twin, Kepler-452b was discovered.
	A planet star system that almost mirrors the Earth and Sun.
	This planet is 1.5 billion years older and 60% bigger than Earth, and circles its star at about the same distance as the Earth orbits the Sun.
	That is, not too close and not too far from its home star.
	This optimal position means that Kepler-452b has the right temperature to support life on its surface.
	Scientists say that liquid water, plant life and volcanoes could exist on this planet or could have done so in the past.
	The conditions for human beings to thrive are there.
	But at a distance of 1,400 light-years away, it's unlikely that humankind will reach its Earth twin anytime soon.
	Yeah, this is a big meme.
	I've heard this.
	What a supposition.
	This thing's 14...
	Here's my logic.
	This thing's 14...
	I don't care about this spy telescope they put up there, Kepler, which I'm sure they turn back on us every so long.
	You know it's a spy telescope, obviously.
	Yeah, it's a spy telescope.
	But they'd shoot it out there because somebody, you know, you book time in these things.
	There's a waiting list, and I'm going to do this.
	Yeah, it's like a mainframe, like a mainframe where you book time.
	It's like a mainframe, very old-fashioned.
	And so you book time, and somebody finds it, 14...
	Now, and then they make all these suppositions, oh, it could be like Earth, it could have water, it could, this could...
	They had to run a 10-year project.
	10 years to send a little camera satellite out to see what Pluto looks like.
	Well, if this Kepler is so good, how come they couldn't tell us anything about Pluto using this satellite, let alone something...
	1400 light years.
	That's how long the speed of light it would take 1400 years to get there.
	This is bull crap.
	Well, why do they run these stories?
	I'm thinking that, you know, NASA, because I'm on the NASA launch or the JPL launch email list.
	And I will go back and look at this.
	We've noticed many times when they send up an Atlas rocket, it's all for NRO, the National Reconnaissance Office, which is the spy stuff.
	So we're always shooting spy satellites, always what the payload is, NRO, NRO, NRO. And maybe someone got onto this spy satellite and then we just had to turn it into, oh, well, we found something genius.
	And that distracts, because I heard an Uber driver say to me, there's a guy from Morocco, and just talking about Morocco and Moroccans, and how the Dutch, you know, how all the wrong Moroccans are showing up there, and he's laughing.
	He said, well, you know, when it happens, we can always just move to the other earth.
	So this is now, you know, this is the meme, and it's working very well.
	It's a beautiful fantasy.
	What?
	We can move to the other earth, and this is picked up as a meme by anybody?
	Mm-hmm.
	Yep.
	If you watch, we're going to see more and more of this.
	That is pathetic.
	Well, the Uber driver was actually very, you know, punctual.
	He did a good job.
	Well, I'm glad you had a good ride.
	Two topics, and then I'm done.
	Just almost throwaways, but I want to mention them.
	One, we have a green light for the first malaria vaccine from the European regulators.
	This is a Glasgow SmithKline vaccine.
	A joint effort along with...
	And I could not find out much about this other organization because it's an international non-profit called PATH. P-A-T-H, PATH. And together they developed this, I think it's also with the Mel and Belinda Gates Foundation.
	And PATH, you can find it at PATH.org, is big.
	This is a big organization.
	Their partners...
	ExxonMobil, Medtronic, Merck, Microsoft, Sanofi, as in the vaccine people.
	And they claim that they have a malaria vaccine, but they still want to hand it out in conjunction with malaria nets.
	So I don't know.
	Maybe it's not working all that well, or maybe it's just a partial vaccine, or who knows?
	Or maybe it's just there to kill more black people.
	Well, that's pretty paranoid.
	Well, there's plenty of reason.
	A lot of Africans are very paranoid about vaccines being handed out by multiple groups, including...
	Well, it's because they've been killing them off with some of these things.
	Yeah, hello!
	Yeah, exactly.
	Ebola shows up mysteriously.
	Oh, it's because some guy ate a bat.
	Hey, and where's our Ebola vaccine?
	Where was that fast track for that thing?
	What happened to that?
	Why aren't we all being inoculated for Ebola right now, as we speak?
	We had Merck, we had all these guys on top of this.
	What happened?
	I have no idea.
	So it's called Moscurix.
	M-O-S-Q-U-I-R-I-X. Moscurix.
	The European Medicines Agency, the EMA, recommended that RTSS, or Moscurix, should be licensed for use in young children in Africa who are at risk of the mosquito-borne disease.
	The shot was developed by Britain's biggest drugmaker, GlaxoSmithKline, and partially funded by the Mel and Belinda Gates Foundation.
	Is it a drug or vaccine?
	The shot, it says.
	The shot.
	Oh, the shot.
	It's the Guardian, so it's British.
	The shot has been developed by Britain's largest drugmaker, GlaxoSmithKline, and partly funded by the Mellon Belinda Gates Foundation.
	It took 30 years to develop, and it costed more than $565 million.
	It will now be assessed by the World Health Organization, which has promised to give its guidance on how and where it should be used before the end of the year.
	I think it's fine.
	Test it on the black children in Africa.
	That's what you want to do.
	That's exactly how you want to roll with it.
	It's beautiful.
	So if anyone knows anything about this PATH organization, just a shout to the producers.
	Yeah, good luck.
	And then finally, just a fun one from over there in Gitmo Nation East.
	The Lord Speaker has issued a strong statement here.
	We had a scandal, and this evolves Lord Sewell.
	Which I think he's actually a baron.
	He's the deputy speaker of the Lords.
	He had to resign as video surfaced of him actually doing hookers and blow.
	He's got a 10-pound note rolled up and he's snorting coke off the table and he's making jokes with these hookers.
	There's some video in there, which is not worth playing.
	You've got to see the video.
	I'm looking at it now.
	Lord Coke quits after Sun exposed the scandal.
	This is your buddy, our buddy.
	I'm by the way, and I'm reading Michael Wolf's book on Murdoch and it's really very well written.
	I mean, this guy is a really is smooth, smooth writer.
	And I can see why Murdoch was irked about the book.
	A lot of insulting little things in there that Wolf doesn't seem to realize.
	What is this book about?
	It's a biography of Murdoch.
	And Michael Wolfe is the writer.
	And he is really, really talented.
	It's a very easy read.
	But this would be, I would see, this is Murdoch.
	This is in the sun, so that's Murdoch.
	Going after these guys.
	Right, right, right.
	You know, for not really helping him.
	When they did the big, you know, this phone hacking scandal took place.
	And he had to go up there and act like an idiot.
	You know, Murdoch does all the...
	It was just a few years ago, but Murdoch goes in and gives testimony as though he's like brain dead or something.
	He's like reminding me of that mobster.
	There was a mobster that he was always playing dumb.
	He played like he was retarded or something, and they'd bring him in to give testimonies.
	An American mobster?
	Yeah.
	Very famous American mobster who always seemed like an invalid.
	Was his name Sammy?
	Sammy?
	I don't know if it was one of the...
	Those guys are always named Sammy.
	Yes, Sammy.
	Probably was Sammy.
	Anyway.
	So this guy, he did...
	Well, actually, he was kind of lame.
	He did three lines of coke in 45 minutes.
	Come on, man.
	Amp it up a bit, will you?
	Yeah, really lightweight.
	And he says to the hookers on the video, this is a quote here, one of the escorts said, you're such a party animal.
	And then he says, I know, disgusting, isn't it?
	Oh, man, that's so great.
	That is so good.
	And he looks like such a creepy dude.
	Lord Coke.
	Great.
	Elite Rock.
	Make my day.
	Alright, I think I can pass on these stories and go to Thursday.
	Okay, good.
	Then we'll do that on Thursday.
	Very nice.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you very much, everybody.
	There was a lot of fun there.
	Alright, please help us out.
	Remember us at dvorak.org slash na.
	We do need more help than what we've been getting.
	This is a must.
	A must, a must, a must, a must.
	Help!
	Help?
	Yeah, I guess you're right.
	Help!
	Ah, nice.
	Well, we'll see what comes our way.
	There's always something to do.
	Keep tweeting me links.
	I always appreciate that.
	At Adam Curry.
	If you've got something special to say, then encrypt it.
	My public key is out there.
	Pubkey.curry.com.
	And coming to you from the Crackpot Condo here in downtown Austin, Tejas, the capital of the drone star state, I am one side of the Croissant Boys.
	In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And I'll be discussing some media corruption in the next newsletter, so keep an eye out for that.
	The story that's going around, which we didn't talk about today, but we will talk about next week.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	And we'll be back on Thursday right here on No Agenda.
	No Agenda.
	Bugs, bugs, bugs.
	Tastes like poo.
	Bomb them, bomb them, and bomb them again.
	I want to stomp on them, I want to swap them, I want to raid them.
	Well, it's time for some presidential proclamations.
	It's not a very good jingle, but it's gonna have to do.
	If you have computer problems, I feel bad for you, son.
	I got 99 problems, but a glitch ain't one.
	As a general rule, I am just fine with a few hecklers.
	But not when I'm up in the house.
	Hey, hey, hey!
	Can we have this person move, please?
	Can we escort this person out?
	Come on.
	That's how we work.
	That's how we work.
	That's all for us.
	And that's the story.
	Amen.
	Fist bump.
	And in the black trunks, weighing in on over 3,000 troops, the ISIS virus, the killer from Nigeria, Ebola!
	The best podcast in the universe!
	Adios, mofo!
