	Well, I think, I think, I think.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Thursday, July 30th, 2015.
	Time once again for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 743.
	This is no agenda.
	Jade Helm, 15 plus 15 and counting.
	When is the takeover starting?
	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 waiting for the July 4th event.
	I'm John C. Devorak.
	We can keep that tally going forever!
	Jade Helm.
	I was hoping.
	I'm all ready.
	I'm all ready to get, you know, have the takeover start, the troops marching through the streets of Austin.
	I'm all good to go now.
	Even Mimi brought that one up some time ago.
	What's this about Jade Helm?
	We're all gonna die!
	Did you talk to Mimi in the past few days?
	Why?
	Just answer the question.
	Yeah.
	Talk to her every day.
	Of course.
	Well, she's a Facebook...
	Yeah?
	What does she do?
	Well, I was just wondering if she had mentioned anything to you about what...
	You know, since she talks about Jade Helm, then maybe she mentioned the largest...
	The distraction of the week.
	Hey!
	On the whole agenda over there.
	Destruction of the week.
	Did she mention anything to you?
	No, I don't know.
	Maybe.
	Cecil the lion?
	Oh yeah, of course she did.
	Oh, that bastard!
	The bastard who shot that lion!
	Why do people do these things?
	Well, I think I learned from you.
	I learned from you why they shoot these things.
	We've talked about this on this very show.
	Okay.
	About conservation and preservation of animals.
	Well, yeah, that's one way of doing it.
	Stuff them.
	Here, I found one clip from the BBC where they had a guy on from the Born Free Foundation, and it was very interesting to me.
	He explains exactly what's good about this, and it's portrayed as really...
	There's nothing good about it.
	It was, for all practical purposes, a tame lion.
	Listen to this.
	He says he had a permit and he paid a lot of money for it and we've heard of other instances of this in other countries as well.
	Why is any hunting allowed?
	It brings in money and there are many African countries, Tanzania, Botswana, South Africa, that actually see this as a good form of income to allow, you know, tourists to come in and actually kill these animals.
	There's also a huge farming operation now in South Africa.
	There's over 160 farms that actually farm lions intensively.
	Over 6,000 of them now are there basically for hunters to come in from around the world to kill them with bows or guns.
	So it's a horrible business and we're very concerned about the impact of that.
	Now before we get to this actual...
	Is this any different in the larger sense?
	Are you going to let me talk or you just want to talk over me?
	I was just going to say, I was asking a question.
	Well, you don't get to ask a question just yet.
	I'm going to ask a question.
	Ask your question.
	Is this any different than Dick Cheney and they had a pheasant in a cage and they opened the door and they shoot the thing?
	No, there's no different.
	And I believe it was Roosevelt...
	President Roosevelt, who came up with the, certainly in the United States, with the idea of preservation, instead of putting a whole bunch of animals on a piece of land and protecting them, which would mean you have to eventually cull them, and it would cost government resources to do that.
	He said, well, why don't we have people who are going to breed them and shoot a limited number, harvest, cull, advertising, whatever you want to call it, and then you're using individual money.
	This guy, this dentist, who may be a jackass, I don't go around killing animals, But he probably has put $200,000 into actual preservation and conservation of animals.
	Just this one particular one was highlighted, even though I don't believe it was his fault, certainly to distract from something else going on.
	But it needs to be pointed out that this is actually very good for these animals.
	This is how you preserve and conserve a species.
	Well, that's Ducks Unlimited.
	What's Ducks Unlimited?
	Ducks Unlimited.
	Ducks Unlimited is the group that...
	Oh, that's what we talked about them, yeah.
	They're a major, major duck hunting operation, but they probably have conserved more ducks than they've shot.
	Now, this dentist also...
	The thing that bothers me about the dentist is that he was posing with a bunch of these animals, but the one that...
	It bothers me when somebody poses with a rhino.
	Of all the animals that I don't see any need to be shooting, because they're not going to live that much longer.
	They're very endangered.
	And he's like bragging about killing one.
	So I'm not too sympathetic toward this character.
	Oh, I'm not sympathetic towards him.
	But with your little speech there, I want to remind somebody that's on this show that it was kind of, I always thought, their responsibility...
	To somehow, because you're in the neighborhood, get us an Oryx to eat.
	Yeah, and that is exactly the same thing.
	There's Oryx here in Texas.
	Right, which is extinct.
	We have to mention that.
	It's not extinct because they are technically extinct.
	There just happens to be thousands of them in Texas.
	Yeah, we're taking care of them here.
	Yeah.
	By farming them?
	Why are we doing that, though?
	What's the real point?
	For food?
	Yeah, to eat them, because they're tasty.
	Well, you don't know that.
	No, because I haven't gotten the Oryx yet.
	You're right.
	Anyway, this was a...
	I'm going to take a wild guess at, well, two reasons why this was a distraction.
	I'd love to know how this started.
	I got in too late to figure out where it came from and then who started this.
	But the first thing I believe we're going to see, I'm pretty sure we're going to see, is Donald Trump's kids holding up elephant tails and other game they've killed to make Trump look like an a-hole.
	Mother Jones this morning already did this.
	They're going after Trump like crazy.
	Yeah.
	So this is great.
	This is a perfect way to play to everyone's heartstrings and make him look like a jackass with his jackass kids and they're all crazy killers.
	Did you see the one where he's a rapist?
	Yeah, and they put him in a story with Bill Cosby.
	I didn't see that one.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Rolling Stone.
	Rolling Stone magazine.
	It's time to have a conversation about rape.
	And then they cite the two reasons why.
	One is the, I guess, 30-year-old allegation that he raped.
	Was it Ivana?
	Yeah.
	When they were still married?
	And, of course, Bill Cosby being the second reason to open a conversation about rape.
	That's pretty low, even for Rolling Stone.
	Man.
	Not nice.
	They must really see Trump as a major threat.
	They'll be able to get him out of there pretty quickly.
	The other thing that happened simultaneously is this was the news, was the new Planned Parenthood video, the anti-Planned Parenthood video.
	Did you see this one?
	No.
	No.
	This one's good, man.
	It's anti-Planned Parenthood.
	Yes, I corrected myself.
	Anti-Planned Parenthood, which is the, what is it, the Organization for Medical Progress or whatever name.
	I didn't see it.
	And before we do that, go to plannedparenthood.org for a second.
	Because what I got yesterday was, tell me what you see on the site.
	Yeah, hold on.
	Let's see if it's the same as last night.
	Yep.
	Oh, now they've changed it.
	Last night, I took a screenshot last night.
	Right now it says, our normal site is currently undergoing maintenance.
	Last night, this popped up and the message was, our site is not available due to attack by extremists.
	Oh, did you make a screenshot?
	I did.
	It's in the show notes, yeah.
	Oh, that's fantastic.
	So it has the exact same layout as what you see now.
	Extremists.
	Interesting they changed that overnight.
	Our normal site is currently undergoing maintenance.
	Yes, because the sysop came in and said, what are you talking about?
	You guys have a bug over here.
	Well, the key here is extremists.
	And let me see...
	Here, this is CNN, and this is now the talking point.
	Anti-abortion activists released a new undercover video purporting to show Planned Parenthood employees seeming to discuss per-organ pricing of aborted fetal tissue and body parts.
	Forty anti-Planned Parenthood rallies are said to be scheduled across the country today.
	The rallies are demanding that Congress strip the organization of the more than half a billion dollars it receives in federal funding annually.
	The latest graphic and highly edited video from the...
	Highly edited video?
	Highly edited video, which is not.
	Activist group, the Center for Medical Progress, features an interview with a woman who used to work...
	Wait for the end.
	Wait for the tag on this.
	from Planned Parenthood.
	The video also includes a Planned Parenthood official discussing per-organ pricing.
	Portion opponents gathered in dozens of cities, calling on Congress to defund the group.
	The rally in front of the U.S. Capitol drew three Republican presidential contenders.
	Today, the U.S. Department of Justice should open a criminal investigation into all of those individuals.
	Are we going to become a culture of life or a culture of death?
	Today I have good news.
	The Senate will vote on defunding Planned Parenthood before we go home in August.
	Planned Parenthood hasn't yet released a formal statement on the newest video today.
	But in a conference call with reporters, an executive there said the video was put out by militant anti-abortion extremists who took the conversations out of context.
	Militant anti-abortion extremists, no less.
	Militant.
	They're militant.
	So, this is a very interesting tact.
	And the crisis team is out in full force.
	They're not letting...
	What's her name?
	Cecile Richards.
	They're not letting her do it anymore.
	They're bringing out all kinds of...
	Here's Jess.
	Well, actually, I'll play first.
	Let me mention that last time that she was...
	When we were talking about her, we were showing to each other at least the clips.
	When she was grimacing and she was scrunching her face up.
	I think some focus group or something pulled a plug on her.
	It must be.
	That's a good point.
	Yeah, she's just so beautiful.
	Yeah, but she was going, she was making, she was scrunching her face up and she had an angry look on her face.
	She was not doing what they're supposed to be.
	She didn't go by whatever rules they have.
	Just another point, I'm reliably informed she's Botox free.
	Well, she's a good person.
	I've seen some shots of, angled shots of her.
	Of course, you can make anyone look bad photographically by hitting her a certain way.
	True.
	This is a piece from the video.
	Now, this video is much better because they've interviewed a technician, this girl, young woman, Holly O'Donnell, who worked for STEM Express.
	And STEM Express, she goes through this whole story of how it was so easy to get this job.
	She just filled out a form online.
	Boom, she had the job.
	She's a...
	What do you call someone who extracts blood?
	Yeah, I can think of that.
	A handiographer.
	It's something like that.
	I'm sure Nurse Tracy will inform us in the next five seconds.
	Anyway, so she then goes to the Planned Parenthood Clinic thinking she's there to draw blood from something.
	And, you know, she's pretty much...
	Oh, hold on.
	Here it is.
	I knew I would get it.
	Phibotomist.
	There we go.
	Phibotomist.
	Phibotomist.
	Thank you, Nurse Tracy.
	Phibotomist.
	Phibotomist.
	Anyway.
	So she thinks that she's just going to be doing her phibotomy stuff.
	And it turns out she's there to separate organs on a pie dish on a light box.
	And they have close-up video of little arms and little hands and little legs just sitting there all chopped up and all stuck in goo.
	It's really quite shocking.
	Here is a play where the little hand gets stuck.
	They make little Mr.
	Potato Heads from some of the pieces.
	You could.
	You could.
	It's really, it's harsh to look at.
	So I remember my first day, I look over in the corner and there's a little, it's a little light tray with pie dishes on it.
	I'm like, hmm, okay.
	And my trainer comes over and she puts on gloves.
	And she grabs some tweezers and she's picking the parts away from the vaginal tissue.
	Yay!
	And I've never had anxiety before this at all.
	So I'm looking and I don't know what's going on.
	I had no idea this was what was going to be happening, especially my first day.
	And she's literally, she has tweezers, and she's like, okay, well this is the head, this is the arm, this is the leg, and she hands them over and says, oh, here you go, can you show me some of the parts I just showed you?
	And I grabbed the tweezers, I'm like, because I didn't want to lose this job, I didn't know.
	I was already stoked to get it.
	So I just, I did what she said, and the moment I took the tweezers, I put them in the dish, and I remember grabbing a leg, and I said, this is a leg, and the moment I picked it up, I could just feel, like, death and pain.
	Like, I've never felt that before.
	Like, shoot up through my body, and I started to...
	I blacked out, basically.
	They got the smelling...
	Down she goes.
	The smelling salt.
	Yep.
	Woke up in the recovery room...
	And looking around, I was really embarrassed, you know, who faints at their first job.
	And when nurses look at me, it's like, oh, new, you're new, huh?
	I'm like, yeah, don't worry.
	It still happens to a bunch of us.
	I'm like, really?
	It's like, yeah, some of us don't ever get over it.
	And I remember leaving that day, like, what have I got myself into?
	Yeah.
	And they really detailed this with some undercover video and really good close-ups of little hands.
	Ugh!
	It's And there's still no real, you know, there's no evidence of Planned Parenthood, as far as I can tell, doing anything illegal.
	These videos just don't have enough evidence.
	There's certainly circumstantial evidence.
	But it's not bad just to show people what it looks like.
	Carly Fiorina, who I think made a huge mistake by jumping into this topic, certainly the way she sounds, this is on, I think, CNN, or it doesn't matter, maybe Fox.
	She makes a good point, but the way she gets into this topic, she sounds more like a pro-life crusader than a presidential candidate.
	So I think it's a mistake she did this, but she did bring up one little thing that I found interesting.
	If a woman was sitting outside of Planned Parenthood, in, for example, her OBGYN's office, looking at this ultrasound at precisely the same point in her pregnancy, her doctor would be saying to her, look at your baby.
	Look at its heartbeat.
	Look at its fingers and toes.
	This is an abomination that Planned Parenthood has lobbied against a woman's opportunity to look at an ultrasound before she makes an incredibly difficult choice to end the unborn life within her, and yet they are using that same technology to harvest body parts, which they claim are not a life, in order to sell them to save another life.
	It is unbelievably hypocritical, and I frankly find it astounding that anyone can defend it.
	That's a good point.
	They lobbied against...
	A mandatory procedure where before a woman decides to abort, they show the kid.
	But they use the exact same technology to find it.
	I think we may have discussed this a couple years ago.
	This has been going on for a while.
	You know, I think it's interesting that the pro-lifers have...
	The idea of these little arms and legs and little hands...
	They're so cute!
	Even detached.
	But it's gruesome.
	It's kind of grotesque.
	It's grotesque and it's ghoulish.
	And I think it's more effective than their old tricks.
	Yes.
	Which was, oh, look at this bloody dead baby.
	Yeah.
	Which is what they used to.
	They used to send posters around of these just messed, you know, babies that are all bloody because they were aborted.
	And it was gross in a different kind of a way.
	And it was a bloody kind of a nauseating gross.
	And it was almost rigged.
	These little clean little hands and arms is, I think because of the way we've been trained with science fiction movies and things like that, is really worse.
	Well, my point in putting these stories together is the virality of outrage over Cecil the lion versus little hands and feet in a pie dish on a light box is interesting.
	It's just interesting.
	That's what I'm thinking.
	I'm sorry?
	Nothing.
	Go on.
	Say it.
	No, I didn't.
	It was just mumbling.
	Mumbling.
	Okay.
	Here's part of the Crisis team.
	They bring out the Jess McIntosh.
	She's from Emily's List.
	Emily's List, who...
	I think they support...
	What's Emily's list compared to Angie's list and Craig's list?
	Emily's list?
	John's list, Adam's list.
	Yeah, okay.
	Well, they are the number one donors to Your Girl's campaign, Elizabeth Warren.
	Number one, top of the heap.
	So they're a lobbying group.
	After hours of talking to this staffer in this dishonestly edited video, they got...
	Dishonestly edited.
	I love it!
	It's so good!
	Yeah, now it's dishonestly.
	I would say that she would talk to a doctor.
	That's not an admission of a crime.
	Listening to this language is ugly and uncomfortable, and I completely understand that.
	The whole concept of organ donation is a really difficult thing to think about.
	But the families that benefit from this life-saving medical research are immensely grateful for the kindness that patients do when they donate these things.
	We're talking about people with loved ones with Alzheimer's, with Parkinson's.
	This exact kind of tissue donation was used to make the rabies vaccine, the chickenpox vaccine, the polio vaccine.
	This directly relates to Americans' health.
	I didn't know that the polio vaccine was based on Planned Parenthood's excellent sample.
	It's very good.
	What is she just making it up as she goes?
	Who is this?
	Kristen Powers?
	Jess McIntosh from Emily's List.
	Oh, yeah.
	And how come with all these aborted fetus tissues, they can't find a cure for Tourette's?
	You know, where is my cure?
	I want my cure.
	Stick a little finger up.
	Now, I want to mention something just an aside here.
	Okay.
	Somebody sent me a clip of some woman who has a podcast.
	Oh, maybe she's a podcaster?
	She's a podcaster.
	Lowest rung on the show business ladder, ladies and gentlemen.
	It's getting there.
	But you know, I should probably refer people to the joke, what and quit show business.
	Yes.
	Which is a classic line people constantly use.
	We use it around the house a lot.
	I use it too.
	I use it too.
	Yeah.
	It's the elephant poop, right?
	Yeah.
	The joke, this is where the joke stems from.
	It's a guy, and this joke can be told in a shaggy dog form or any form you want.
	It could be long, it could be short, but I'm going to shorten it up to the basics.
	A guy is watching some guy sweep up elephant poop in the The elephant's crapping all over the place.
	He's getting all over this guy as he's sweeping and sweeping and sweeping.
	He works for the circus, you might want to add.
	And he works for the circus, right?
	And somebody goes up to him and says, why do you keep this job?
	He says, why don't you go get a job someplace else?
	And the retort was, what?
	And quit show business?
	And this joke is used, the punchline is all anyone uses now, which refers to anyone with a really crappy job, especially in show business.
	Which most jobs are.
	Right, they're just crappy, and the punchline is one and quit show business.
	And I don't know where I was going.
	You had a clip from a lady from a podcaster.
	So the podcaster lady, and this clip that you just played reminded me of this.
	The guy sent it in, one of our producers says, listen to her.
	And then she goes on about, oh, dirty old white man.
	They're all just a sexist, racist, ageist, horrible person.
	So I was going to clip, I said, screw it, I'm not going to clip it or plug her show.
	But the one thing I noticed is that she had all these different guests on, mostly women.
	And you could not...
	And I'm talking 20, 30 shows.
	And I started hearing this, and I went from show to show, with one exception.
	And just because this one woman was from the Bronx or something.
	But mostly Angelenos, a lot of them in show business.
	And one of our mutual friends has the same voice.
	They all, they sound so similar.
	They sound so much the same.
	When they talk, you can't tell who's talking on the podcast.
	It's very unnerving.
	It's like, who is that?
	I don't know.
	And everybody sounds exactly, they have a certain sound and a certain cadence.
	It's a certain milieu.
	And that's why I said, is that Kristen Powers?
	Because that's who I thought it was.
	But she, who's always out there making noise.
	This woman sounded exactly the same as the rest of them.
	There is a sound.
	I would like to coin a term to describe it.
	Well, these women all sound the same.
	They have the same cadence.
	They have the same tones.
	They have the same minor up talk.
	It's almost it's frightening how much similar they are.
	Well, that's almost like I mean, this has been going on for so long in radio.
	Certainly you can turn you can still turn on any bad top 40 radio station and hear the midday girl.
	It's always a girl.
	Between 10 and 1.
	Or 9 and noon.
	Yeah, 10 and 1 usually.
	And it's all, they're all named Patty Steele.
	You know, they're They're all, hey, Patty Steele, this is, hey, good to have you.
	Z100, it's all the same.
	It's exactly the same.
	But that's what happens, you know.
	I've taken on mannerisms from people I've admired.
	I've always thought you sounded a little like Stern.
	That's exactly right.
	That stems from 12 years of driving into New York City listening to Stern on K-Rock.
	And, yeah, yeah.
	So that has totally rubbed off on me, totally.
	There is some other war on men news, which came out in the Washington Post that caught this article, thought it was kind of cool, that women are freezing in offices because the air conditioning is set so low to please the men, but women apparently are just freezing.
	And this is going to be an issue.
	I'm putting this in the book.
	I have not heard this, but I can see it coming.
	Yeah, Washington Post.
	You can spot them.
	The frozen ones who come outside at lunch like sun-seeking turtles.
	Cardigans balled up next to them.
	This is the Washington Post.
	Cardigans balled up next to them, bare shoulders defrosting in the noon sunlight, no matter how wilting it is outdoors.
	Every single woman I talked to in downtown Washington on a hot, humid July afternoon was thawing out.
	Freezing!
	Feel my hand!
	I'm still cold!
	Oh, man!
	Yeah.
	Put some clothes on.
	Let's be scientific about this then, says the article.
	How about a female-centric office?
	At Emily's List, there they are, which raises money for women running for office, the temperature setting must be female-friendly.
	What does that even mean?
	Because women dress chillier.
	With bare shoulders.
	So we're not being female-friendly because men wear suits and ties.
	Yeah, and they're going to sweat and stink if they crank up the temperatures.
	Maybe that's the point.
	There's poor smelly men in the office today.
	We can't win.
	Smelly old white men.
	We cannot win.
	Yeah, this is why we need to move towards the partnership model from the domination model.
	I'm reading this book called The Chalice and the Blade by Rhianne Eisler.
	Have you heard of her?
	No.
	It's good.
	It takes a historical paleontology, paleontologistic, what is the word?
	Well, it's paleontology is the word, but I don't know where it fits into this.
	If you're taking a paleontologistic look...
	A paleontologist.
	A paleontologist look at women throughout history where, you know, if you take the goddess Venus, she is by, you know, in today's literature, it's described as well, you know, it was like early porn or all these different things, but always analyzed from a male perspective and not from the possibility that women were worshipped because they give life.
	Of course, I think...
	Coming into life.
	One of those books.
	It's good.
	I knew you were going to mock it.
	I knew it.
	Well, you were right, as usual.
	This is a good book.
	I recommend people read it.
	What's the name of this book?
	The Chalice and the Blade.
	The Chalice and the Blade.
	Oh, I get it.
	Yeah, exactly.
	The Chalice for the Women and the Blade for the Men.
	And the concept that...
	Because she has an agenda to promote.
	That's okay.
	The concept is, we're really doing the wrong thing right now with more feminine-friendly offices, and we need a female president.
	What's this writer's name?
	Rianne Eisler, R-I-A-N-E, Eisler, E-I-S-L-E-R. The idea here is that we need to move towards a partnership model where men and women work together as equals and not saying, oh, but it's time to tip the scales the other way and have women run the show.
	That is also wrong.
	Which is happening shortly.
	Look at the Washington Post article.
	Well, look at Elizabeth Warren, your next president.
	Yeah, and there's that.
	Oh, gosh, he's from the University of California.
	I've got to mention something that just pissed me off.
	So I went to Buda, which is about 20 minutes down the road in I-35.
	Buda has the only Airstream dealership in Central Texas.
	I'm glad you're still working on this project.
	Yes, yes.
	I'm really just going to look and to orient myself because I think I still want to do my trip.
	The idea is drag the airstream through Colorado, go into Wyoming and Yellowstone, then go up to Calgary, Alberta, and then come back down somehow.
	And I'm very excited about this, and I've been saving to possibly get a second-hand job.
	Let me rephrase that.
	I'm still waiting for my first handjob.
	And so, DeeDee...
	In the morning.
	No, I'll do it in the morning.
	In the morning!
	So, DeeDee, who is a salesperson, who, you know, of course, is younger than my daughter, DeeDee, But she's very knowledgeable and says, well, let's go take a look at some new ones.
	Yeah, let's take a look at some new ones.
	That's how you do it.
	And they're beautiful.
	And I can't afford this.
	She says, well, you know, you are allowed to buy these like a house with a 20-year loan and you can deduct the interest as long as you use it two weeks out of the year.
	What?
	Yes!
	And so I'm doing the math, and I'm saying, this is like $300 a month.
	I can do this.
	There would be a down payment, but I've saved up enough for a down payment.
	And so I'm all jacked up.
	I'm like, wow, this is a brand new one!
	And it retains reasonable value.
	The hook is in you.
	She's reeling you in.
	Can you blame me?
	That seems like a pretty good deal.
	That's what sales is all about.
	But it seems like a pretty good deal.
	That's what it always does.
	So I sign the paperwork.
	I put down a deposit.
	I put down a deposit.
	What?
	What?
	You did this?
	Well, here's what happened next.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	So, yes, this was...
	When was this when I went down?
	Tuesday, I guess.
	And then yesterday...
	In California, I might add.
	Here we go.
	I get a phone call.
	Hey, Adam, it's Deedee.
	Yeah, what's up, Deedee?
	Well...
	You know, we can't find anyone to underwrite the loan because you need a credit score of 650 and your credit score is 630.
	And why?
	Well, you don't have enough, you don't make enough use of enough credit.
	You can't win with this system.
	Well, not the way you're going about it.
	Well, give me an idea.
	I've been listening to your tale of woe for nigh on to a decade, and I can't give you an idea.
	Because I don't know what to...
	I buy a lot of stuff cash.
	I have a lot of property.
	I have nothing.
	I have nothing.
	You don't do that.
	You have a different route.
	And your route, I don't know how to.
	I think you could do it by just faking, you know, getting a couple of these cars, buying stuff and paying it off and buying.
	But that's dumb.
	It's like stupid.
	Well, I've done that.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	Why would they require that of you?
	You know, so you'll recall last year I got a credit card, finally, to start, you know, building up something.
	Playing the stupid game.
	Playing the stupid game.
	And that's, you know, well here, so I'm in the car and I hang up, but then on the radio comes this commercial for creditrepair.com.
	And it sounded great.
	There's this lady going, oh, creditrepair.com has changed my life!
	I can now borrow things again.
	Like, this is for me.
	This is a sign from the universe.
	Very dramatic mood.
	I think this thing with this trailer has you irked.
	It has me very irked.
	I signed up.
	Come on, creditrepair.com.
	Fix me.
	I only need 20 more points.
	This is bull crap.
	They should be able to just say, yeah, he's fine.
	I mean, what's he going to do?
	I mean, if you put it down, here's the way this works with real estate.
	You know, we can't give you a mortgage with 10% down because your credit score is 630, not 660.
	650, 650.
	650.
	Could be 70.
	It'll always be something.
	If yours was 650, they'd tell you it was 670.
	It's bull crap.
	But that's beside the point.
	That's another story.
	Okay, well, how about 20% down?
	30% down.
	So you put a bunch down.
	Say, okay, 30% down will give you the loan.
	Well, what's the difference?
	Well, the 30% down is kind of like the collateral.
	I mean, if you put more down, usually you get, they knock these requirements.
	And I offered to pay 30% up front.
	No.
	There you go.
	That's the 30% down.
	And they said no.
	That's because these things, the only reason you say no to that deal, That's because the thing will depreciate faster than it's worth at the 30% down level.
	They're telling you when they say they won't take 30% down because now they have collateral, they can always repossess the item.
	That means you're lucky you got out of there.
	Huh.
	That's the way I see it.
	I feel much better having heard that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, you would have been...
	It's a jip.
	And I will be able to report back on creditrepair.com, which I'm pretty sure is a scam.
	Oh, definitely.
	There's no way that it's just some...
	It's not good somehow.
	I don't know.
	Maybe it's the greatest thing in the world.
	I doubt it.
	I doubt it too.
	You'll find out because you're going to be testing.
	But it came into my life and I'm like, okay, I'll try it.
	Let's see if that can help.
	It seemed very serendipitous if it came over the air as you were sitting there crying.
	I just love the people.
	You can drink a beer while you're driving in Texas.
	I shouldn't mention that to people around the world.
	I'm sorry?
	You can drink a beer while driving in Texas.
	So?
	While you were crying in your beer.
	I was not drinking at the time.
	I drank later.
	And the message came across and you said, wow.
	Wow.
	More material for the show.
	The chat room is going nuts.
	I'm going to be even more effed after giving all my info to some credit repair site.
	Yeah, probably.
	But I'm desperate.
	I was desperate.
	It's for the show.
	This is for the show.
	I want to do the Hot Pockets tour.
	I want to go up to Scandinavia.
	I can't believe that they got you to sign on the dotted line.
	And then they pull the rug out from under you.
	Yeah, a 23-year-old.
	This is the irksimist thing.
	Well, this is an example of the type of female that we're developing thanks to that book you're reading.
	Yeah!
	No, not thanks to the book.
	The book is against it.
	Oh, it is?
	Yeah, the book is saying it needs to be in partnership.
	Which led me to also look at Elizabeth.
	Elizabeth Warren is married.
	Yeah?
	And she has a husband.
	Yeah, is he an Indian?
	No.
	A chief, maybe?
	No, he's a, I believe, an economics professor.
	Okay.
	But they never talk about him.
	If you were married to Elizabeth Warren, you'd probably want to be out of the news, too.
	But still, it should be fair game.
	It should be fair game.
	I mean, she's a chatterbox.
	Chatty Cathy.
	Yes.
	The guy is probably some...
	I don't know.
	Now we have to look into it.
	But go on with your...
	And I'll look him up.
	I don't know what to go on with.
	Other than...
	I'm pissed.
	I was so excited.
	I'm like, yes, this is great.
	Yeah.
	I know.
	For some reason, you know, you talked about it early after my divorce.
	And, in fact, I was at the checkout line in the grocery store.
	And I'm talking to this girl.
	You know, I'm always talking up everybody.
	Hey!
	You know why?
	Because she had these really strange looking...
	I didn't know if it was like a white tattoo or if it was...
	It looked like a lion had scratched her and then underneath it there was a heart but it was just scar tissue.
	It wasn't...
	Oh, she was a scarification chick.
	I'm going to cut myself.
	So, you know, I'm talking...
	Well, it's funny you say that.
	It's not funny you say that.
	Damn it, I keep saying this.
	It's not funny.
	I said, yeah, so what's going on with the...
	I feel bad that I haven't caught this for money.
	What's going on with your arm there?
	And she says, would you like to hear what I tell everybody?
	I said, I bet you it was attacked by a cougar.
	She says, yeah, that's it.
	I pressed a little harder.
	No, the heart, no, that was just a paperclip that was a branding thing.
	He heated up a paperclip and branded her.
	I said, uh-huh.
	Oh, God.
	She wound up copying to it that she was a cutter.
	She was.
	Yeah.
	I was in a cult.
	She said, okay, I know too much.
	I'm going into Irish stream.
	She said, oh, are you going to get rid of all your stuff and live in it?
	That was the first response.
	So that's what she's on her mind.
	Yep.
	Yeah, getting rid of all her stuff.
	And living in an Irish stream.
	Yeah.
	And I think I could do it.
	These things are outstanding.
	Yeah?
	Yeah.
	You'd be the best.
	You know, here's the deal.
	You should just hell with these assholes at the Airstream dealership.
	Get a hold of the company.
	Tell them who you are.
	Not by saying, yeah, do you know who I am?
	But just tell them who you are.
	Hey, hello!
	Public relations department.
	Hello, I'm Adam Curry.
	I'm a podcaster.
	Tell them what you're up to.
	Public relations people love this stuff.
	They're sitting around thinking of ideas.
	They can't think of anything.
	They need people to come in and give them ideas.
	And you'll probably get an Airstream for free.
	Well, John, you are a part of this program, yeah?
	You are 50% of the show.
	This is your skill.
	No, I'm not calling them.
	Why not?
	I could.
	Maybe I will.
	Yeah, this is for the show.
	It's not for me.
	Yeah, I'll get you a loaner.
	They have loaners.
	Yeah.
	Of course they do.
	23D. Flying Cloud 23D. Let me write it down.
	Flying Cloud 23D. Does it have to be Flying Cloud 23D? Yes, this is the configuration.
	There are the 23Ds.
	Okay.
	Well, the Eddie Bauer is nice, too.
	But 23 foot.
	Eddie Bauer?
	They have an Eddie Bauer?
	They sure do.
	Oh, yeah.
	Because before I departed, they gave me the porn magazine.
	Right, a bunch of the cool ones.
	Oh, the beautiful color brochure and everything.
	Yeah, they saw you coming.
	Yeah, but they have failed me.
	Hot pockets.
	Hot pockets to her.
	On hold.
	Seems to me that the girl lost the commission.
	They should have gone out of their way to make that thing go through.
	Oh, she keeps texting me and calling me and, you know, hey, do you know anyone you can have co-sign with a high credit score?
	I said, I don't have any people in my life with a high credit score.
	I don't know what you're thinking.
	How about the answer to that should be, how about you?
	I'm going to try that.
	Yeah.
	Hey, DeeDee, why don't you sign with me?
	Wink, wink.
	Nudge, nudge.
	I'll make it worth your while.
	I'll make it worth your while.
	I can't believe I didn't come up with this myself.
	I was so distraught.
	This is an obvious tact.
	Yes.
	I'm sorry.
	I missed it.
	Oh my goodness.
	Yeah.
	So I'm sad about that.
	But just take it into consideration.
	Maybe you'd like to try and call the company.
	It would be great for the company.
	It would be.
	You'd be talking about it endlessly.
	You're already talking about it too much.
	You better back off.
	You're giving it away.
	This is the first time we're talking about it.
	Outside of what you've talked about.
	It'd be great.
	Alright, well we got a bunch of other things we can discuss.
	I was stunned, apparently two years ago, Mullah Omar, who was the bad actor in Afghanistan forever.
	Is this related to the Adam Curtis movie?
	Documentary?
	I don't know that it is.
	I didn't watch the whole thing.
	I only watched half of it because I couldn't.
	Wait a minute.
	Wait a minute.
	I'm sorry.
	What?
	Okay, I'm going to read.
	I'm familiar with all of Adam Curtis' work, and I like to sit down and enjoy it on a big screen.
	So I started watching it on a computer.
	Hold on.
	I'm going to read the note you sent to me.
	Now, we rarely communicate outside the show.
	Rarely.
	Then I get an email from John with a link.
	We have to be on the same page when this guy does a movie.
	Please watch as soon as you can.
	Curtis calls bullshit the best of anyone.
	So, I watched the thing all two and a half hours.
	And you didn't even...
	Get me the Airstream.
	That's the only way you can make good for this.
	Just horrible.
	I didn't think it was going to come up in the conversation so soon.
	You said watch as soon as you can.
	Yes, but I, because of the last number of things I've recommended you to do, you have, oh yeah, I didn't think, yeah, you were just like so lax about it.
	No, there was one documentary you wanted me to watch while we were on break.
	And I'm in the south, I'm in the south of France.
	Yeah, I'm going to watch a two-hour documentary on YouTube.
	No, absolutely not.
	But this was so obvious.
	Okay, fine.
	I watched it, and it's relevant to that, and it's in the show notes.
	You can find this documentary.
	Tell me about Mullah Omar in his presentation.
	No, please go on.
	Well, Mullah, the guy's dead.
	Yeah.
	Now, I remember this.
	This is the character.
	This was the propaganda point man in the early days after 9-1-1.
	And this was the guy they supported.
	There's a story...
	They bombed him.
	They threw a bomb on his butt, right?
	No, they were going to.
	They had him in the targets of a drone.
	They tried three times, didn't they?
	Well, this is the sketchy part of it.
	They never wanted to kill this guy.
	The first time they had him ready to blow up and the Department of Defense said, no, we don't have the legal authority.
	They were looking for legal authority to blow him up.
	This is the guy who banned kite flying drones.
	Kite flying is the one that cracked me up the most.
	Dancing images.
	He's the one behind the destruction of that giant Buddha.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes.
	This guy.
	He's like a bad actor.
	But they never could kill him.
	Seems unlikely.
	George Bush says, we'll get him eventually.
	They never did.
	And he was part of the Mujahideen during the fight against the Russians.
	He was one of our guys.
	I believe he was a spook.
	Which if you watch that documentary, they talk about this specifically and how the United States was building the dams right around this period.
	It's really interesting.
	It's how the poppies started with all the salt that came up from the dam water.
	And he comes up in this piece of the documentary.
	So he's dead.
	And I do have a clip announcing his death, but it's still kind of...
	There's still not everybody scratching their head.
	There's all kinds of reports.
	Do you know anything?
	Nobody knows anything.
	So, Mullah Omar.
	Oh, you want to play the clip?
	Now, it's been rumored many times before, but today the Afghan government and intelligence agency confirmed that Taliban leader Mullah Omar is dead.
	He apparently died in a hospital in Pakistan two years ago.
	The Taliban are yet to make an announcement, but sources close to two main Taliban councils in Pakistan tell the BBC intensive negotiations are underway to find a successor.
	Wait a minute.
	They say he died two years ago?
	Yeah.
	They've got to get this straight, man.
	Everyone says two years ago now.
	And of course, they brought it out.
	Somebody, one of the commentators came out and said, well, why are they bringing it out now?
	If he died two years ago, they could bring it out next week, next month, because there's some peace negotiations going on with the Taliban.
	And they're trying to put him in a weaker position, because I guess a lot of the Taliban themselves don't know he's dead.
	I will recommend this documentary again.
	It really gives you the background.
	I thought the ending was lame.
	The last 15 minutes just wraps it up in a ball that makes no sense and kind of ends with, who knows, maybe something else.
	What's out there?
	It's like, what the fuck?
	Stupid.
	I was cursing you, and I'm cursing you even more.
	You made me watch that, and you didn't even watch it.
	I will never discuss this documentary again.
	Well, Curtis's stuff is fantastic, generally, but his conclusions are often lame.
	He has all this stuff that he...
	It's just...
	I don't know.
	It's hard to do.
	Those types of documentaries that he does, and he has a bunch of them.
	There's the...
	Origins of Fear.
	They're all about pretty much the same thing.
	And he's the one who brought out...
	He had a very short documentary, like a 10-minute one, which I, for some reason, pointed out the obvious fact that now the experts are the man on the street.
	And he showed the evolution of how news gatherers...
	Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes.
	He's the guy who brought...
	There's hell with having...
	Somebody actually knows what they're talking about.
	Just ask some random guy on the street what he thinks.
	I have an example of that.
	By coincidence.
	We have had a couple of stories in New York.
	The state senator is even recommending this.
	We're going to put it in a bill that we...
	And this is something you can open up the book.
	We've predicted this.
	That we should have magnetometers or other types of weapon screening systems at movie theaters.
	That sporting event...
	Well, sporting events has grocery stores, malls.
	Go to the metal detector, you stupid slave, before we take your money away from you.
	And this is from Central Florida.
	The theater there, they put together some kind of video, which I just cut all that out of this piece because they had some cell phone with crappy audio, so it's not useful.
	But they brought in man-on-the-street interviews, I believe all three of them are women, to talk about the idea of security for theaters and having what equals a pre-flight video.
	To tell you where the emergency exits are and how to activate.
	If an active shooter comes in and is trying to kill you in the theater.
	Oh, God!
	Yeah, here we go.
	We showed some moviegoers the message that's now being played right before a movie starts.
	And some folks tell me they not only think it's a good idea, but a good reminder that you should always be on the lookout.
	That's got people talking.
	I think it's a good message to send because there has been a lot of problems with, like, movie theater shootings and stuff.
	There has been, like, a lot of problems with movie shooting theaters and stuff.
	You know, it's a good idea for this message.
	Recently, the shooting at a movie theater in Louisiana last Thursday that killed two people and injured nine others.
	Now, AMC Theaters has created this message that we captured on cell phone video alerting moviegoers to look out for suspicious people or bad agendas and report it immediately.
	Bad agendas?
	I think AMC's doing an awesome job because we should be protecting our people when they come.
	They should be feeling safe.
	But not...
	I feel so good already.
	AMC's doing a great job.
	We should be protecting our people.
	Our people need to be protected.
	Everyone thinks it'll work.
	Lenore McHugh says her friend was just at the movies and saw a suspicious man who could not do anything about it.
	And this is exactly what happens with this.
	When you see something, say something, you see something suspicious.
	In this case, she did nothing because, I don't know.
	She was afraid to leave because he was right on top of her.
	So they ran out of the theater.
	I think there were people having sex in the theater and she thought it was something bad.
	So in that case, what do you do?
	However, moviegoers say if this short film is the first step to keeping people safe, they're all aboard.
	I think it's good to make people aware because some people just go in the theater, sit down, and they are not aware of what's going on around them because they're just looking forward.
	We called AMC to find out why they created this message and for how long it's been running.
	We also called Cinemark and Regal to find out if they followed suit, but so far no one has returned our calls.
	Alright, so I'm just doing a little math here, a little roundabout math.
	Just to show, I mean, it's like getting hit by lightning.
	I don't know what the odds are for that.
	There's an odds.
	So what is the odds of getting killed in a theater?
	It's got to be even more rare than hit by lightning.
	It probably is.
	I hate to do this because you do it to me once in a while and I hate it when you do this, but I'm going to do it to you.
	How many theater screens are there in the United States?
	6,000.
	39,000.
	I was close.
	Actually, 40.
	Let's say 40.
	It's 39,368.
	All right, so now every one of them shows a movie four times a day, and you multiply that by 365 days, you get over 50 million moments of the possibility.
	In other words, over 50 million, close to 60 million screenings Which each represents a moment at the theater.
	Just think of the mind control that's being bestowed upon people.
	Yeah, that's a good point.
	It's kind of like one of my mother's points.
	Anyway.
	Thanks.
	Well, because it was a little off the wall.
	Very off the wall.
	Anyway, my point is that you have one chance in $60 million of getting caught up in one of these deals.
	Well, let's say it only happens once a year.
	It's just bull crap that people are all freaked out about stuff, and now they're going to...
	The whole thing is designed to scare you for one reason, and one reason only, because it's always my theory.
	Oh, I know.
	To get people to go to the movie theater.
	No, to sell more of these stupid devices so Chertoff can make more money.
	Well, yes, but we know if you put on a pack of cigarettes, cigarettes will kill you.
	Smoking kills.
	People actually buy that pack.
	That is your basic thesis.
	It's backed up by science, my friend.
	I know.
	I'm all in on it.
	I agree.
	But that's your thesis.
	My thesis is they want to sell more magnetometers.
	Well, yeah, sure.
	Sure.
	So let's sell a bunch of magnetometers to do it.
	40,000 screens?
	Well, it's actually, I think, about 5,000 theaters.
	So that's where your number came from.
	The number of theaters, not the number of actual screens.
	Well, I'll tell you what.
	Why don't we leave that for what it is?
	Unless you have more.
	No.
	And I'd like to thank you for your courage and say, in the morning to you, John C, where the C stands for Chalice Dvorak.
	It could have been cinema.
	A bit of better segue.
	I dread the fact that you've done this to me because you know that my mailbox is not open.
	But I can still say, 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 to our artists who always submit artwork at noagendaartgenerator.com.
	Back!
	Fighting it out once again with Martin J.J.'s Nick the Rat, who created the artwork for episode 742.
	The title of that was AQ in the Magrim.
	And there was a beautiful piece of art with the president wearing a dude named Ben t-shirt.
	And he's saying no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	It's an instant opportunity, before we even get started, to prove that this is catching on.
	Do we have Chuck Todd over there at the, what does he do this week in the press?
	This week in news.
	We have to end institutional racism, but we have to deal with the reality that 50% of young black kids are unemployed.
	That we have massive Poverty in America, in our country, and we have an unsustainable level of income and wealth inequality.
	The criticism that's come to you at this, though, is that your answer is always economic injustice and that many African-American activists believe, no, no, no, no, no.
	You've got to deal with racism.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	So it's black Americans who are going, no, no, no, no, no.
	So it's rubbing off.
	It's rubbing off.
	And here's proof.
	Okay, you know what?
	Felipe Torres Wow!
	Producer from Mexico.
	That is the topper so far.
	Isn't that fantastic?
	That is the topper.
	And I didn't expect, because I heard, I knew you were going to do a clip of some sort.
	And I expect to be some other kind of jazzy, you know, thing.
	Here's that traditional Mexican song.
	It's fantastic.
	It was perfect.
	He did a short version for us, too.
	Okay, you know what?
	Hey!
	Hey!
	Wow.
	Love that.
	Boy, there's a reason for admission.
	We're going to drop an album one of these days, John.
	I think we're getting closer.
	No agenda's going to drop some beats on y'all.
	Drop some beats.
	Don't get all on my grill.
	We got some beats for you, yo.
	Well, we have some producers.
	Wait, before?
	In the morning to the chat room.
	Noagendastream.com.
	Thanks, guys.
	Thanks for what?
	Just for being around.
	For attending.
	Alright, we had another lousy day.
	We have a few people that came in.
	I'll never get my Airstream at this rate.
	No, you won't.
	Marcel Giannata leads the pack and he gets the executive producer's role with $234.56.
	Again, we don't have anybody at the executive producer level.
	So he gets bumped up because he brought in the most.
	That's right.
	Wait a minute.
	He gets bumped up with Jay Anonymous, who brought in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, so they tied.
	Nice.
	Tied for the top.
	So they both get executive producers.
	Dear Crackpot and Buzzkill, episode 741 was friggin' hilarious.
	I listened to it twice.
	Adam doing coke, allegedly, and the John blowing his nose was a gut buster.
	Yeah.
	I love that people would even consider I'm doing coke.
	Can you imagine me on coke?
	I can, and I don't like the idea.
	The idea's not good.
	Bad enough.
	Thanks, friend.
	Keep it up, P.S. I'm a knight, now I think.
	You follow up by email.
	And Marcel is, so we'll be knighting.
	Marcel is the only one.
	So he didn't give us a sir, so he'll just be Sir Marcel is.
	Jay Anonymous in Buchenbach, Deutschland, 23456.
	I'd like to accept your anonymous challenge from show 742 and be named Jay Anonymous for this associate producership.
	I hope I can jump ahead in the alphabet, but I don't see why not, and I don't see why not either, from my perspective.
	I was wondering what you would say about that, but if you're cool...
	What would you think I would say?
	I thought the sequential nature of it was kind of nice.
	Well, from a marketing perspective...
	Oh, yeah.
	We're such expert marketers.
	I'm going to tell people about an old trick that marketers use.
	Okay.
	I took some courses years and years ago in the late 70s.
	Yes.
	And the one trick that always fascinated me is people like to sell collectibles.
	These come Franklin Mint and all these guys.
	Yeah.
	So they'll sell you like three toy trucks or something like that for $10, and then the rest of them, you can subscribe to more toy trucks for like $10 each for the next subscription year.
	And so as soon as they subscribe to the toy trucks, You know they're going to probably cancel because you just want the three cheap trucks and they just held it.
	You send them a giant, like a wall hanging that has slots that you can put the trucks in.
	Yeah, and then you need to fill them up.
	That's what you do.
	People need to...
	This is like the coin collectors.
	The government has that little...
	My daughter did this.
	You know, those commemorative quarters.
	She had to fill this thing up.
	Did you get any quarters, Dad?
	Let me see what quarters you got.
	You turned her into a beggar.
	Anyway, I'd like to accept your Alpha Anonymous challenge, so I think it's fine to do it.
	But we have to keep track of it, so now we need to know.
	It would be easy to say, what are we up to?
	We're up to F. Yeah, it would be easier.
	You're right, it would be easier.
	And I'm just saying it for you, because you're in charge of this.
	Well, people can still, we can do both at the same time.
	What this guy's done is jump the line.
	But we're still working on synonymous.
	That's the way I see it.
	Okay.
	I also challenge us out there to get their desired letter for the challenge.
	Get your ticket with the faceless masses.
	Why have a personality?
	We don't need it.
	I donated last year $500 to your show and it was time for another dose of support.
	Please accept my donation of blank.
	Your show keeps me sane here in Deutschland.
	I'm an American, been living here for 14 years, mainly because of my kids and wife are German.
	And we found a great Waldorfschule here in Freiburg.
	I've been to Freiburg.
	I've been to Freiburg.
	It's a nice town.
	It's a very old...
	Nice airport.
	Black Forest area, I believe.
	Schwarzwald!
	Where they were not being turned into widget makers or robots.
	The school was not allowing that.
	One thing which you can't help but notice here, though, is that there's a strong social pressure to conform.
	Follow the rules, Mr.
	Jones.
	Your trash is not placed correctly on the curb.
	Don't mow your grass on Sunday.
	You're too noisy.
	And on and on.
	Everybody watches everything here.
	I'm a rule follower, so if the rule is that we have to do it, then I'll do it.
	That's right, rule followers.
	They don't need the police state because your neighbor is doing it already.
	And another thing, everybody is all in on the EU world order and the socialist state.
	Well, it's because they think they're going to run it.
	If you aren't seen as a heartless bastard, oh no, if you're not all in, you're seen as a heartless bastard.
	Most Germans think part of their God-given rights is six weeks vacation a year, even if you are on social welfare.
	Which gives you a lot of vacation time, it seems to me.
	It is the time I'm alone with you guys in the car on my daily commutes, which makes me laugh my ass off, and I think there's still hope.
	On the day of your Thursday show, I'm flying with my family to Los Angeles to spend more time in the wine country outside of Cambria, which is Southern California wine country.
	Then we're going on a road trip through the desert parks.
	I'm looking forward to that and taking my trusty No Agenda show along with me.
	Please give me some karma for the great trip to America.
	You guys are an inspiration to many out here.
	So stay real and use common sense.
	I wish you guys the best and hope the donation doldrums are soon over.
	They might be next month, maybe.
	I got an email from somebody about...
	We talk about more socialism than anything because he brings it up here.
	And it kind of irked me from Chris...
	Your comments and attitude towards Karl Marx couldn't be more wrong.
	The only thing we said about Karl Marx, I think, was that he was the original blogger.
	I started listening to Noah Jen in the late 600 shows, and I've only ever heard you make sly remarks about Marx and Marxism.
	I believe you don't understand Marx's contributions to the critic.
	I've gone on and on about...
	I read Marx a lot.
	And I've read his...
	And I've commented commonly about how his analysis of the Civil War is so unique and interesting.
	And...
	I don't know, maybe because I said he wrote in the 1840s and it's not that interesting to modern readers.
	I don't know what he's talking about.
	You're getting me mad.
	Out of all the things you and John chose to comment on, I've never heard you comment on capitalism, even though it's a big factory in many of the news stories on no agenda.
	Why would that be?
	Because, like I said in the beginning, you don't understand Marxist theories on economics.
	We do.
	Yeah, I think we do.
	It sucks.
	I've lived in a socialist country.
	It's no fun.
	Yeah.
	It may be great for somebody, but I didn't like it.
	Anyway, here's the karma for Jay Anonymous.
	You've got karma.
	But Jay Anonymous is not a knight yet.
	No, he just wants to be Jay Anonymous.
	Okay, so Jay Anonymous will become Sir Jay Anonymous when he finishes up.
	He needs another $250 or $270, it looks like.
	Cool, cool, cool, cool.
	Joshua...
	We should maybe rethink this about whether they're...
	No, no, no.
	Don't want to complicate it.
	Joshua Shiny, I can't find any note from him.
	He's in Louisburg, Kansas.
	21912 came in with.
	And I looked his email.
	I couldn't find nothing.
	Let me just see.
	Joshua Shiny...
	S-H-I-N-E-Y. And finally, Rob...
	I guess it's Rob, R-A-B-B-E, Sandalen in Helsingfors, Finland, $200.
	This is a contribution to the only podcast in the universe that makes me laugh so hard in public that people turn their heads.
	Although I'm paying for this with my company credit card.
	What?
	I'm paying for this with my company credit card and calling the transaction payment for webinar.
	Should we be reading this?
	The associate executive producer title should, of course, go to me.
	Robbie's Swedish name, so Adam's Dutch pronunciation would almost be spot on.
	Which is?
	Robbie Sanderlin.
	Two to the head.
	At this point, what difference does it make?
	Combo would be nice.
	What difference at this point does it make?
	You've got karma.
	Nailed it.
	So that's it for the executive producers for show 743.
	Okay.
	Well, so we'll have one nighting later on.
	That is always appreciated.
	And let me just see.
	Where are we?
	These credits, for those of you who are new to the show, they're official credits.
	There's no difference between these credits and credits that people get in Hollywood for pretty much financing the program.
	The difference in Hollywood is these are people who want to hang out, rock the red carpet, be listed on the credits, but they never really get anything out of the movie.
	They just want to bang the actresses, which they get.
	It's cool.
	That's why you go to Cannes with your ship, with your big boat.
	Here, you know that you actually contributed towards a product that you like where you are not the product, the show is the product, and you enjoy it.
	And that's so we can keep advertising and thus crookedness out of the program.
	And we appreciate that very much.
	If anyone ever questions these credits, we'll be happy to vouch for you.
	And as many of you know, even the newbies always be on the lookout to propagate the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out...
	We hit people in the mouth.
	Hey, citizens.
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up!
	Stupid slip!
	I ran into somebody recently who had that cred.
	They had their well-known person, and there they were.
	I was on LinkedIn, and there they were.
	They're right there, executive producer, no agenda show, and named a number of the shows.
	Oh, how nice.
	I think LinkedIn is a perfect place to put that stuff because it looks really good there.
	I know people who use LinkedIn kind of like Facebook.
	They're posting articles and blogging.
	Yeah, well, they have that element.
	The articles on LinkedIn, yeah, I don't know.
	I agree.
	Nah.
	Just to blame.
	Nah.
	Did you see the I Am Kate debut?
	I've decided I'm not going to watch it.
	I'm going to let you watch it.
	I didn't watch it.
	No, I didn't watch it.
	I did get lots of emails from people who watched it.
	We have...
	I refuse to be...
	My time is my time, and I refuse to be abused by this whole bullcrap.
	Well, I wanted to share one piece of feedback from our trans listener, Ali Jade.
	Who goes back and forth between, you know, liking the show and hating me?
	I'm sorry.
	Yeah, I'll read the note.
	Most important thing I can say is Jenner is the worst thing to happen to the trans community.
	The hatred for the family and the media coverage has not helped trans girls.
	I try to live a normal life and not be out just a normal everyday housewife.
	I gave up the porn.
	I live my life as a dudette named Ben in the media field.
	I also cringe when you guys talk about transgendered anything.
	But I love you guys anyway.
	I'm sorry?
	I'm not quite sure.
	Why...
	I think I even asked, why do you cringe?
	What are we doing there?
	We don't even talk about transgender that much.
	My wife always gets irked at me when I use the term.
	What?
	The gays.
	It's not politically correct, John.
	But why?
	Because I keep asking people to tell me why.
	It doesn't matter because you need to watch.
	It doesn't matter.
	That's the point.
	No.
	It doesn't matter because you will be fined if you do these things incorrectly.
	You are going to be in trouble, my friend.
	Danielle Moody Mills on MSNBC. She was a guest.
	I looked her up.
	What is she?
	Doesn't matter.
	She came on and she had a point that she made not once but twice about how the media needs to talk about LGBTQIAAP issues, in particular when it comes to the pronouns for transgendered peoples.
	Right.
	The first issue is that we need to stop misgendering people in the media.
	Misgendering people?
	And there needs to be some type of fine that's put into place for outlets, for media outlets, whether they be print, online, radio, or what have you, that decide that they're just not going to call people by their name, right?
	And that they're going to misgender them just because they can.
	And that's what we saw with Casey Haggard.
	We saw in the press.
	We've seen all over the place.
	And it's ridiculous.
	There are guidelines that have been put in place by GLAAD, right, that have been put out to all press outlets.
	And if you don't follow them, you should be fined by the FCC. What?
	If you don't follow the guidelines by calling Bruce Jenner, Caitlyn Jenner, you should be fined by the FCC. Oh my God.
	What is wrong with these people?
	Including online.
	That's you, John, with your gaze.
	The gaze.
	You're a horrible man.
	You're a horrible, horrible man.
	Don't you dare.
	Don't you dare.
	Well, I have a long clip.
	Nice.
	I don't want to get to it sooner than later.
	I'll get to it.
	Do it.
	First, let me read a note.
	This is about the hacked car.
	Now, I want to talk about this for a second.
	This long clip, unfortunately, is too long because people may remember Jack Rickard, who was the publisher of Boardwatch Magazine.
	I used to write for him.
	I know him very well.
	And he's gone off.
	First, he went off and did like a lot of these guys.
	He sold out for like $25, $30 million.
	And then he first goes into the airplane game, which a lot of people do when they get a bunch of money.
	I went into helicopters.
	Yeah, you did.
	But you're not the only guy.
	I mean, I can name lots of people.
	Vern Rayburn out of Microsoft.
	I can tell you what the thinking is and why this happens if you're interested.
	I would be interested.
	I've been fascinated by this.
	Rayburn, by the way, would love to get a hold.
	He bought a Constellation.
	Wow.
	A Connie.
	That's got to be $55 million?
	I don't know.
	Yeah.
	Here's the thinking.
	When you're flush with cash and you're groovy and you're successful because, hey, you got all this money, you must be smart.
	Turns out you're not.
	That's how all mine got lost.
	And it wasn't up my nose, as some people have said.
	I was talking to my analyst the other day.
	What?
	What?
	My psychotherapist.
	How long have you been seeing an analyst?
	Oh, well, I've been seeing analysts for a year and a half.
	Oh, it's going to ruin the show.
	Why would it ruin the show?
	It's going to ruin the show.
	Why?
	Hold on a second.
	Why would it ruin the show?
	It's just going to ruin the show.
	It's going to screw you up.
	You're going to be mellow or some damn thing.
	Or you won't have Tourette's anymore.
	You'll be nice.
	That will ruin the show.
	I'll be a nice guy.
	It's going to ruin the show.
	I'll keep an eye out.
	When it starts to deteriorate, I'll let you know.
	I'm a big proponent of therapy.
	And I have to tell you that, you know, going through all the counseling, and a lot of this is...
	I went to some therapy sessions.
	I'm like, I can't do this.
	Here's a dude asking me questions, and I've already figured out why he's asking the question before the words are all out of his mouth.
	I can't do this.
	But this therapist in San Antonio, she's good.
	And, you know, just...
	She's a therapist in San Antonio?
	Yes.
	Yep.
	And I talked with yesterday.
	I went to see her yesterday.
	That's a long drive.
	It's an hour and 15 minutes.
	It's nice.
	You kind of get in the mood when you're there and you have an hour and a half to decompress on the way back.
	It's good.
	I recommend everyone do this.
	Even you should consider it, John.
	Yeah, it's too far.
	But she also works on MKUltraPeople.com.
	Oh!
	Yeah.
	Well, that's interesting.
	I was talking about my Tourette's and where all this came from.
	Let's see, we go off the track a little bit more before we bring this back around.
	Okay.
	I've got the book written by the...
	I don't have his name in the tip of my tongue, but I have his book, the guy who was the head chief hypnotist of the MKUltra project.
	Yeah.
	And I think I mentioned that I watched the Today Show the other...
	I probably brought this up during that moment, but I'm going to bring it up again.
	I watched the Today Show.
	In fact, I know I did.
	But I watched the Today Show where they put Roker under.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	He went right under.
	You got to tell the story.
	Well, they had all these different people.
	And Roker is...
	Al Roker, the weatherman, who used to be huge, and now he's a stick.
	He's very thin.
	He had a gastric bypass, lost a lot of weight.
	And you know him, and you think he's an idiot or jerk or something.
	Mm-hmm.
	I work with him.
	He's a narcissistic prick.
	He is known to be an MKUltra or somebody who's a robot of some sort.
	Makes sense to me.
	Yeah, well, there's one thing on the YouTubes where he just zones out when somebody uses a trigger word.
	And it was like, everyone points this out.
	All the paranoids out there who are conspiracy theory nuts.
	So he goes out like a light, and they're keeping an eye on him.
	He does this with other trigger words.
	There's YouTube videos of him everywhere where someone says something, he just glazes over it.
	The trigger words.
	Apparently, there's been a lot of people working on him.
	They probably pass him around.
	Hey, put this guy out.
	It's my turn for Roker.
	How's Julie doing?
	How's her hypnotic technique working?
	Oh, she's not as good.
	You know, we were hoping to get her.
	Oh, give her Roker.
	Better give her her confidence back.
	Ham sandwich.
	Kill all humans.
	So Roker is on this thing, and at the end of this whole presentation, he says to the hypnotist, because he's concerned that he goes out so easy, I think.
	He says, you can't really do anything against your will.
	You can't really do anything.
	You can't become a killer or anything if it's not your personality.
	And he goes on and on to the hypnotist.
	And I remember as the hypnotist goes on, I've heard this spiel a million times.
	My parents used to always say, you cannot be hypnotized if you don't want to be.
	Well, there's that.
	But he's talking about if you are hypnotized, can you be made to do things you would not normally want to do, immorally?
	Right.
	No!
	There's no way that you can do things that you morally object to if you're hypnotized, no matter what.
	I've got the book written by the guy, the MK Elder guy.
	Bull crap!
	As far as he's concerned, anyone can be made to do anything.
	If you use the proper techniques and you do it a certain way, you can make anyone do anything.
	But, I was thinking about it, you don't want people to know that!
	Because they'll think that you want everyone to think, no, it's fine.
	You're not going to run around naked if it's not your moral thing.
	No.
	You can be made to do anything according to this guy, the king of this sort of hypnotism.
	So I just got it.
	Well, if I am an MKUltra subject, my girl in San Antonio will find it.
	So it brings us back.
	Has she had any...
	Women that she's worked with?
	Yes.
	Why did you say women?
	Well, I guess...
	I don't know.
	She won't tell me specifically.
	No, she shouldn't tell you specifically, but is there any...
	She has worked with...
	She's in San Antonio.
	Hello, San Antonio.
	Military Industrial Complex is in San Antonio.
	It is?
	Oh!
	Yeah, that's what they do in San Antonio.
	What else goes on in San Antonio?
	The Riverwalk?
	Sure.
	Yeah, that's a draw.
	Bats?
	They got bats.
	Yeah, bats.
	No, we got the bats in Austin.
	Yeah, but anyway, I got dad issues, so I'm working on it.
	And you know what happens is...
	And I'll stop about it.
	When something else interesting comes up in my therapy, then I'll let everyone know about it because I think it's good.
	And you'll know if I'm going off the rails and if I need to be saved.
	But you get these little incidents that take place early in your life.
	I'm talking about 5, 6, 7, 8 years old.
	And it's not really a huge event, but whatever response, whatever the when, where, who, and what...
	Whatever happened, you are triggered by things that people say to you, and your response is often...
	I once went off on you and your kids in such a horrific way that I had to apologize about it the next show, and I now realize where that's coming from.
	Where?
	From my youth.
	I thought you said you had dad issues, but you had mom issues.
	No, that's what I thought.
	But it's really dad issues.
	I got mom issues too, but...
	Alright, well we don't want to know anymore because we're talking about the GPAC. We're not interested in you.
	I don't know how we got to this from the GPAC. I said I was on my way to my therapist and you stopped the show.
	Oh, I did.
	I stopped the show, but what was the reference that had to do with the GPAC? I don't know.
	Oh, okay, good.
	Letter comes in from Jason, and he says, I don't really have a connection to hackers.
	I'm more of a self-aware Chrysler owner who coincidentally is suing them based on the California Lemon Law.
	I've got a 2014 Ram truck and a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
	My truck has had transmission and electronic issues since day one.
	I've communicated with Chrysler engineers and technicians through the various Chrysler Dodge, blah, blah, blah forums for diagnosis, and Chrysler's not willing to fix it.
	They basically cut me off at three repair attempts for each problem, keeping me just under the amount that enables me to pursue the Lemon Law.
	Very tricky.
	Hmm.
	I didn't know that.
	I got an attorney and I'm going for it anyway.
	I learned about the electrical systems and the Uconnect system in particular that most dealer technician monkeys know just from asking the right questions to the right people.
	That's how I know that most of what was published in that article about the Jeep, we've already had another letter where the guy claims it's bullcrap, was complete nonsense.
	There are Still actuators in these cars that control the transmission and physical relays that open and close circuits throughout the electronic system.
	As far as I've learned, the only functions available to someone connected remotely to the Uconnect system is a vehicle shutdown, which is a single command that disables the vehicle's ignition system that allows someone like Uconnect customer service to remotely shut down a stolen vehicle, much like GM's OnStar.
	The Uconnect system itself is too stupid to be able to do anything else.
	And I'm curious why the article didn't mention OnStar, since it's the most widely deployed vehicle monitoring system.
	I think it's been in use since 2000.
	And the Uconnect has only been in use since 2013.
	That's why I assume Chrysler was an intentional target of the article.
	Your theory of...
	Oh, that's possible.
	Yeah, well, here's what...
	Yeah, well, that's what I... Yeah, when I read that, I was thinking, yeah, I guess that's possible.
	Now...
	Back to my original story.
	So I attempted to contact Chrysler's Public Relations Department because I thought this was bullshit.
	I was going to write an article about it.
	This is how you're going to get me the Airstream.
	I'm going to attempt to get you the Airstream.
	So I, and I couldn't get ahold of anybody, and then I finally got, I linked in.
	So I linked in, I found two or three people that work for the various public relations.
	One woman who used to, she said, oh, you should talk to someone, so this is great.
	Because I made it clear that I'm going to bust this as bull crap, and I need Chrysler's help.
	I need somebody to tell me stuff.
	Right, right.
	Because I need, I have questions.
	Right.
	And so then she gave me a letter to someone or email.
	I wrote her nothing.
	Got nothing back.
	And then another guy who was on there, he said, yeah, well, blah, blah, blah.
	And then he wouldn't take my calls after this.
	He actually said, blah, blah, blah?
	Yeah, blah, blah, blah.
	And all of a sudden, I'm cut off.
	Like, Chrysler doesn't want to talk about this.
	Hmm.
	And I didn't think it was that peculiar until I ran into this podcast.
	Now, this is the long clip.
	This is the EVTV podcast, and let me set it up.
	Is that electronic vehicle, EVTV? Yes.
	Jack Rickard, the guy who used to run BoardWash Magazine, who had the low affection to airplanes, quickly got over that, unlike most people, didn't lose his ass, and he went into electric vehicles in a massive way.
	He has a really elaborate podcast, a video podcast that is really quite well produced.
	And the only real problem with the podcast is Jack and his pals who do the podcast because they can barely speak.
	They're not broadcasters.
	Well, but that's part of the beauty of podcasting.
	But the thing is well produced and it's so nerdy.
	It is the most nerdy thing.
	They're deconstructing a Tesla motor and they're finding the codes to make it go forward and backwards.
	It is just the nerdiest.
	If you're a nerd, and they go on and on and on endlessly about stuff.
	So he brings up two things in this.
	One, he has a theory about this incident, which is different, and makes nothing but sense if we look at the fact that...
	So you're going to promote another show with props on top?
	A sprinkling of props?
	Yes.
	Well, props for this piece of information.
	Two things.
	One, there's a huge movement that I'm unaware of, but it's a big deal.
	It's called the Right to Repair Movement.
	And if you go to righttorepair.org, you can see who really wants to get in on this.
	Hmm.
	What's happened is that the big four, the big three, whatever, the big car companies have decided, apparently, to use the DMCA. Yes, it's illegal to even touch the software, the chips or anything inside these automobiles under federal regulation.
	They've decided to make it so you can't touch these cars.
	And it's not just the electronics of the car or the computer.
	It's pretty much everything.
	Because it's all part of the DMCA. So you can't repair the car.
	So independent shops are freaked.
	Because it's being set up.
	It's like a giant scam.
	It's a cartel.
	They're setting it up so if you want your car repaired, you have to go to the dealer.
	Period.
	And that means they're going to gouge you.
	Because there's going to be no competition.
	So that's part of the thing.
	Now, play the clip and you're going to have to listen carefully because it's very hard to understand Jack.
	Do you want me to be quiet throughout the whole thing?
	I think you can interrupt about halfway through.
	We have been battling and continue to battle on right to repair.
	And right now, the federal agency charged with protecting American motorists wants to know more about how hackers remotely commandeered and controlled a Jeep Cherokee Hours after Fiat Chrysler recall 1.4 million cars affected by a flaw in their cellular connections,
	several congressmen, Richard Blumenthal, Democratic Connecticut, cyber threats in cars are real and urgent, no figment of the imagination, as this huge recall demonstrates, says Senator Richard Blumenthal.
	Incredibly, Chrysler is delayed.
	Disclosing this chilling cyber security danger egregiously and inexcusably and strong sanctions are appropriate to send a message that other auto manufacturers will heed.
	So it appears Chrysler is in deep trouble, doesn't it?
	Blumenthal and Markey introduced legislation Tuesday that would set minimum standards for automotive software security and create a system that would help car shoppers to be more knowledgeable about security in particular vehicles.
	A report by Markey's office concluded only two of 16 automakers could respond to a real-time infiltration.
	And the story was broken in Wired Magazine.
	And I do want to mention Wired Magazine, particularly the Threat Room, these guys are shills.
	They will write anything for the military-industrial complex.
	It does not surprise me at all if they are somehow in on the automotive cartel.
	Wired Magazine.
	So shouldn't we be alarmed?
	This month, the Copyright Office is issuing a waiver to the DMCA that specifically allows you to And so wouldn't it be handy for this story to break about these wanton hackers breaking into a
	Jeep Cherokee while it's going down the road and posing a real and serious threat to the driver's safety in St.
	Louis, Missouri?
	Wouldn't you find that alarming?
	Shouldn't something be done about that?
	We know that they got a grant, $80,000 grant to do this.
	Chrysler was aware of it.
	Let go, let go.
	Oh, but wait!
	No one mentioned that the hackers were being paid by Chrysler and the entire thing was staged for Wired Magazine and the recall was timed so that they could then assure motorists that they were not subject to this and Markey and Blumenthal are on the payroll.
	Yeah.
	Good.
	Okay.
	The information that was new to me was that they coincidentally let go the DMCA restrictions.
	With a waiver.
	Yeah, I didn't know that.
	I didn't know that.
	And that makes sense now.
	So they bring this out.
	Oh, well, this is what's going to happen if we can't protect this stuff.
	Right.
	Even though a hacker would give a crap about the DMCA if he wanted to hack a car.
	This is a phone...
	I had what...
	There's also, in the past, people have written to us that there's tax benefits to recalls.
	And I'm always trying to figure out if that is a part of it or not.
	There are tax benefits to recalls.
	Well, the thing that galls me...
	I'm sure there is.
	But what galls me was some nitwits on Twitter...
	Oh, they hacked the car.
	You're full of crap.
	It's that guy again.
	I've seen him.
	That guy.
	It's like the guy actually bought into the fact that these guys sitting in their sofa at home remotely grabbed control of this Jeep out of the blue.
	Let's just look at what's available.
	Oh, there's a Jeep going down the road.
	Let's grab that and drive it off the road.
	I mean, who believes this crap?
	Wired Magazine is really, I agree with what you said a minute ago, it has become a shill.
	Yeah.
	And then USA Today, by the way.
	USA Today picks up on that story.
	They go with it, saying the same thing.
	Oh, look what they did.
	Look what they did.
	They got this one writer.
	The bastion of journalism, USA Today.
	And you're surprised.
	They have a tech writer who's also a podcaster.
	And on his podcast, he says, he goes on about how terrible this hack was.
	But don't worry about it.
	It's probably not going to happen to you.
	As though any of it was real.
	And the next slew of articles are coming out because these two guys will be presenting at DEFCON. Yeah.
	Which you can only then also think DEFCON's in on it.
	People at DEFCON, boo these guys off the stage!
	Or, you know, ask them.
	Ask them.
	How did this all work out?
	You were in cahoots with Wired, you got a waiver, you got paid.
	What are you here for?
	NARC, NARC, NARC, FED, FED, FED, FED, FED, FED, FED.
	Get them out.
	You phony baloney conference co-host.
	Come on.
	So there you have it now.
	I have three climate change clips.
	Just to piss everybody off.
	I have to put one more markup on the wall.
	To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gate.
	I figure if I play the jingle, it makes you happy.
	Thank you.
	One of your favorite jingles.
	It is.
	Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat.
	Oh, Sheldon Whitehouse from Rhode Island.
	That's right.
	By the way, we pointed out on this show before, somebody who has looked into his finances heavily invested in the oil industry.
	It makes nothing but sense.
	And this is all based on that new report from the former Noah guy, who is the architect of this bullcrap of the coastal, the rising waters.
	Oh, the waters.
	Yeah, which now apparently...
	Hold on a second, stop the show.
	I have to look out the window.
	No, the mudflats are still there.
	You are going to love the third clip I play.
	No, the second clip I play.
	Because it ties right into what you just did.
	But let's listen to 30 seconds of Sheldon Whitehouse.
	A melt 10 times faster than...
	This, of course, is the douche from MSNBC who is reading from the report.
	A melt...
	We're in trouble.
	The melt is going 10 times faster than previously ever thought.
	This, of course, all comes in convenient timing as we are ramping towards the Paris Climate Change Conference where we will have some actual action taking place for once.
	A melt ten times faster than previous estimates?
	What does that mean?
	Well, it's a reminder that the consensus position on climate change...
	And I love this.
	I love now politicians coming out and hedging their careers by saying, well, it's the consensus scientific...
	Yeah, because that...
	That's what it is.
	Right.
	Right.
	At the end of this whole phony baloney deal, they said, well, all we did, they said, was I was just following what they said?
	I don't know.
	Consensus.
	Consensus.
	He did.
	He's not saying the science is in.
	He's saying the consensus.
	And he's careful.
	It's a reminder that the consensus position on climate change.
	It has very responsible views on the other side of it, that climate change is actually going to be a lot worse than we currently anticipate.
	And when you look at what 10 feet of sea level rise means to an ocean state like Rhode Island or to a seafront city like Miami, it's a lot of pain, it's a lot of catastrophe, it's a lot of expense.
	It is a very, very significant danger.
	Significant danger.
	Very, very significant.
	My mom was born in Rhode Island.
	Grew up in Rhode Island.
	And when I was a kid, she often told me about the tidal wave, where the water came all the way up from the basement into the kitchen, into the living room.
	This is not new for Rhode Island.
	It's happened before.
	No, it's like your commentary during Sandy in the Jersey area.
	Yes, Jersey would always flood.
	Yes, a floodplain.
	The Willowbrook Mall.
	They would always flood over there.
	Here's Trump.
	Trump on climate change.
	Now, I have to say, this is not a good piece by the Donald.
	He's getting, to use his words, his positioning statements are becoming weak.
	Week.
	Week.
	And he needs to watch it.
	He needs to watch it.
	This is his position on climate change.
	You know, I know, I think Obama just said that the biggest threat we have on the planet today is climate change.
	And a lot of people are saying, did he really say that?
	You know, we have people chopping off heads, and he's talking about climate change.
	And...
	It's just, I call it weather.
	I call it weather.
	You know, the weather changes.
	You look back and, you know, they were calling it global cooling and global warming and global everything.
	But you look back and the biggest tornadoes were in the 1890s.
	It's like he was listening to our show.
	Remember we went through all the big issues in New York, the big floods?
	Yeah.
	He's listening to our show.
	I knew it.
	I knew it.
	Ambassadorship to France for you soon, my friend.
	Hurricanes were in the 1860s and 1870s, and, you know, it's weather.
	You could have bad weather, and so often I'll watch the evening newscasts, and every time there's a rainstorm someplace, and then they wonder why they don't do well.
	They say, it's raining here, it's raining there, and, you know, usually leading the program.
	You know, I call it weather.
	Maybe there's a little bit of change.
	I don't happen to believe it's man-made.
	And you know what?
	If it is, you're going to have to start working on China, because they're polluting the air more than anybody.
	You know, we're going to hurt our factories.
	We're going to hurt everything.
	And they're not doing anything to address it.
	So before we start, you know, wrecking and just wreaking havoc on what we have, they better start talking to the folks over in China.
	Because you talk about if there is such a thing, wait until you see.
	I mean, take a look at the pollution that they're spewing into the air.
	Unabated, unabated.
	This is not good.
	He did not do a good job here.
	I think people will attack, if anyone listened to this, people will attack him for trivializing in their mind by saying, it's just weather.
	It's just weather.
	I can see the headlines already.
	It's just weather.
	Says Trump.
	Yeah, says Trump.
	And, you know, of course, we have the deal with the Chinese, even though it's bullcrap, but we have a deal.
	Yeah, in 2030 it begins.
	But I don't think that was a very good deal he did there.
	It wasn't as bad as I was expecting after your intro.
	I thought it was bad.
	Yeah, but you're his supporter.
	Probably the only major media, if you want to call it podcast.
	Major media.
	This is the only major media outlet that has already endorsed Donald Trump early on.
	Early on.
	At the get-go.
	Yes.
	All in.
	Now, Hillary released a video With her stance on climate change and what she's going to do about it.
	Are you interested?
	Am I interested?
	Future generations will look back and wonder, what were we thinking?
	How could we possibly be so irresponsible?
	I'm just a grandmother with...
	What?
	I was thinking...
	I saw this, and I was thinking that word irresponsible should have been replaced by gullible.
	Yes.
	Two eyes and a brain.
	What was that?
	I gotta throw that back.
	What was two eyes and a brain?
	What was a grandma with two eyes and a brain?
	Oh, I thought she was talking about Planned Parenthood by baby parts.
	Oh, God.
	I'm just a grandmother with two eyes and a brain.
	Yeah, I wish it didn't have that creepy music behind it, because that's a great ISO clip.
	I'm just a grandmother with two eyes and a brain.
	Which is all you need to be, Hillary, on a stick.
	Two eyes and a brain on a stick.
	And I know what's happening in the world is going to have a big effect on my daughter, and especially on my granddaughter.
	It's hard to believe there are people running for president who still refuse to accept the settled science of climate change, who would rather remind us they're not scientists than listen to those who are.
	You don't have to be a scientist to take on this urgent challenge that threatens us all.
	Oh, that's good news.
	You just have to be willing to act.
	America has made a start in addressing this threat.
	The renewable energy industry prevents as many as 70,000 asthma attacks.
	Now, just listen to all these stats.
	And 3,000 premature deaths.
	3,000 premature deaths.
	What is that worth?
	How many jobs and billions should we spend to stop 3,000 premature deaths?
	Each year.
	It created over 50,000 new jobs and drove more than $35 billion in investment last year alone.
	Now, do you think the oil and gas industry have been spending $35 billion to combat that spend?
	Seems unlikely.
	I mean, they just spend that anyway.
	But here comes her...
	I was, by the way, disturbed by, you know, this constant harping on science, science, science, which entails a scientific...
	The science is in!
	The scientific method, and then to just make these assertions that you save 3,000...
	How do you...
	You'd have to have a controlled environment where 3,000 people died, and then there's another environment that's perfectly clean.
	And is that global, or is that only in the United States?
	It's impossible.
	It's all bullshit.
	It doesn't make any difference.
	We have to do much more, and we have to do it now.
	Here comes her plan.
	On day one as president, I will set two ambitious national goals that will test our capacities but that I know are within our reach.
	First, I will ensure we hit a target of having more than half a billion solar panels installed across the country by the end of my first term.
	This is crazy talk.
	Half a billion solar panels?
	She's all in with the Chinese.
	She's a Chinese shield.
	Where are these panels coming from?
	China!
	Exactly!
	I think that's...
	In fact, that is...
	Did she mention that?
	I don't know if she mentioned that in this.
	But yes, that is all for China.
	And half a billion.
	Do you realize that...
	One, you know, one little speck of dust on these cells, you know, it ruins the cells.
	Right.
	It's not that easy.
	And does she mean on people's houses or in just in the...
	She's hanging around.
	...in the national parks?
	Where's she going to put them?
	Second, we'll set a 10-year goal of generating enough renewable energy to power every single home in America.
	Always makes me think of Kentucky Fried Movie.
	Do you remember Kentucky Fried Movie?
	I vaguely remember it.
	I don't remember the punchlines, and I don't remember what it was about.
	It was a comedy.
	Yes, and for some reason, these days, more and more of that was probably the work I'm doing, the work on myself.
	I remember these things.
	They had a solution to the, I think at the time it was the energy crisis.
	This movie came out in the 70s.
	And it was to collect combs and brushes from teenagers and their face cloths to extract the oil from their zits and from their hair to turn that into renewable energy.
	To burn it.
	Which I think is a platform.
	I don't remember that gag.
	I used to go back and revisit that movie.
	Yeah, there was some really, really politically incorrect stuff.
	I believe that was in the 70s.
	Was it a 70s movie?
	Yeah, 70s movie.
	There was a lot of experimental movies done in the 70s as in the 30s, which was because it was part of the economic cycle.
	So we should be having that now, and maybe we are.
	We just don't know.
	I think it was called, was it called Zit Power?
	I don't know what it was called because I don't remember it.
	But I can see that movie being appropriate today because it's 70s.
	Yeah.
	I see.
	Kentucky Fried.
	They had some really...
	Probably on Netflix.
	They had some really politically incorrect things in that movie.
	Yeah, all good movies to have that.
	1977.
	Kentucky Fried movie.
	Yeah, perfect.
	Anyway, so that's Hillary's plan.
	Half a billion.
	Did she say you can take that to the bank at the end of this?
	She should have.
	No, she did not.
	Then you can take that to the bank.
	Bitches.
	Yeah, good old Hillary.
	Let's see what else.
	Did I have something else on Hillary?
	Yeah.
	This is what I will say.
	I'm not trying to be critical today.
	But this was your weakest.
	It was weak.
	You're weak.
	It was weak.
	You're throwing a Trump at me.
	Climate change.
	You're throwing a Trump at me.
	It was your weak climate change segment.
	All right, big boy, why don't you bring on some good stuff?
	That's a couple of things.
	I do have a pet peeve.
	There was a horrible killing in Santa Cruz, this is a Santa Cruz killing clip, that took place.
	This cute little girl, she's just a innocent little eight-year-old, was...
	I guess killed by this neighbor, next door neighbor, and thrown into a bin, dead.
	And it was just a disgusting story.
	It's been kind of in the news.
	It's obviously Sharpton or nobody's coming out to do anything about this little situation.
	But when I heard, this is one of the presentations about it, and it brought to mind a real pet peeve and something that we talk about on the show a lot.
	And now I'm getting...
	Completely annoyed by, you know, with reporting, it's supposed to be what, when, where, why.
	And the why part is really...
	No, isn't it what, when, where, who?
	Who, what, when, where, why.
	No, there's no why.
	I don't think there's a why.
	There should be a why.
	Well, who, what, when, where, why.
	Okay.
	Well, can I ask you one thing?
	Yes.
	When you do your rant, because you're pet peeve, you're going to get pissed off.
	It's not going to be much of a rant.
	It's just going to be a minor little comment.
	Can you just end it so I know to play the jingle with something to say swag?
	I'm not going to say Sway.
	Come on, say Sway.
	I'll do that.
	I think she had a reasonable amount of trust in him.
	The suspect is a 15-year-old neighbor.
	Police say he murdered her in his apartment, carried the body down three flights of stairs, then threw it in this recycling dumpster.
	A detective found the body after a more thorough search last night.
	Cops say the boy stood nearby and likely watched.
	He's just like a normal kid.
	Like, he hangs out on the levee with other normal kids and plays with his yo-yo all day long.
	Like, I haven't, you know, he doesn't really strike any chords as being a baby killer.
	Police say they have evidence linking the teen to the grisly crime.
	Today, the artist community at the tannery tried to make sense of it all.
	He was a role model.
	You know, he worked at camp here.
	He's working with kids, you know, often, and kids look up to him.
	Tonight, his classmates from Santa Cruz High are in disbelief.
	Like, I would have never expected someone like him to do that.
	He was so nice.
	He didn't seem like he had problems or anything.
	I had never seen him get mad.
	The district attorney today said that he is absolutely considering charging this 15-year-old as an adult.
	Sources also tell the San Francisco Chronicle that this boy told police he had been thinking about suicide and he killed the little girl to see how people would react.
	Alright.
	If I'm the editor of a news outlet of any sort, I think from this day on, and it probably should have begun a couple of years ago, and we discuss this on the show constantly, what drugs was this kid prescribed?
	Yes.
	What drugs were they using?
	What?
	And was he still using them?
	Was he on a drug and taken off a drug?
	This is a core element to most of these stories.
	It is never discussed.
	It is never even brought into the conversation.
	And, of course, you can see the reason why.
	All you have to do is turn on the nightly news, CBS News, the evening news, those network news, All the ads are for pharmaceuticals.
	All the ads, with one or two exceptions.
	There'd be 20 ads, there'd be 18 of them are for pharma, and they're all crazy stuff that they sell.
	This has gone too far.
	Something has got to be done by the reportage folks.
	They've got to talk about this as the issue.
	This is the why of the story.
	John C. Devorak's pet peeve of the day.
	Ha ha ha ha.
	Don't you think?
	I agree.
	Completely.
	That's ridiculous.
	This sick kid, you know, who knows what the hell was really going on.
	This is the problem with a lot of these issues.
	Yeah, that moron that shot up the theater holding the burning American flag and then having a Confederate flag and all this other stuff.
	And the guy's like a zombie or that character, that weirdo in Denver who's obviously, you know...
	And they always say that guy shouldn't have bought a gun in Louisiana because he was insane.
	Well, if he was nuts and he'd actually been locked up, like they say, then he was given drugs.
	Yeah.
	What were the drugs?
	Yeah.
	But no, the pharma, big pharma has taken over the media because they're the ones that's just a bought and sold thing.
	This is like, I get the biggest kick in starting to show up more and more, especially on some of these, including that podcast I was bitching about earlier.
	People keep talking about this so naively.
	Oh, campaign finance reform.
	Everything will be solved.
	Oh, Citizens United, the worst thing that ever happened.
	All we need is campaign finance reform.
	They don't understand that the media is the only beneficiary of campaign monies.
	They get tons of money.
	They're not going to support campaign finance reform.
	It's like us supporting, well, we're going to do the podcast.
	We're not going to take any money.
	Just do it for free.
	It's nuts!
	Why would anybody do this?
	Why would the media ever be involved in campaign finance reform?
	They're dead set against it.
	It's just simple logic.
	Yeah.
	Anyway.
	Yeah.
	And it changes nothing.
	Drug companies.
	Nothing.
	Yeah, drug companies.
	Well, that's why we are the best podcast in the universe.
	I believe we are.
	Because we're not corrupted by this system.
	And people need to understand that that's extremely important.
	You know, I'm looking at these ex-NPR guys who are all starting up podcast networks.
	If they're jumping right over the obvious opportunity, and they're all going into native advertising, and they're saying it's great.
	Oh, it kills me!
	And they're saying it's great.
	Oh, we know how to separate.
	We're smart enough to separate that.
	We know how to do a native ad.
	It won't affect the way we cover things.
	No, not at all.
	Just look at PBS. Look at the NewsHour.
	Look at how the Mel and Belinda Gates Foundation just got everyone fired and changed it all.
	Yeah, if you look at it now, they've done their final changes.
	Yeah.
	It's crazy.
	Have you seen the set?
	No, I don't watch that.
	Oh, my God.
	It's like, what character from the 50s designed this thing?
	Probably Melinda.
	Well, she would be a character from the 50s, kind of.
	Yeah.
	Well, you know, Bill and I were talking.
	And, you know, of course, we're rather large donors with the foundation to the news hour.
	I'll do a little vocal fry.
	I'm sure she has vocal fry.
	And we were thinking that you would probably be doing much better if you change the set.
	I have a couple of ideas.
	I can imagine that's a real meeting they had.
	I can imagine it, too.
	Now, you were saying that these guys are spinning off, missing the point.
	I think another point that you should make is that these guys, they came out of a corrupt PBS. And a corrupt NPR with that woman.
	I wish she had that clip handy with her.
	Well, no, that was NPR, not PBS. That was NPR. But they came from these groups.
	They came from NPR and PBS. It's the same kind of operation, which is a corrupted operation because of all these big-time advertisers.
	Which actually show many ads that we could probably deconstruct sometime because there's a violation of all kinds of things happening constantly.
	That was Vivian Schiller.
	Right.
	And why am I not able to find that clip?
	Dude, it just showed it, like recently showed it.
	Now, here's the thing that kind of is interesting to me.
	These guys came from the corrupt era.
	If they had come from sometime further back...
	When public broadcasting really was listener-supported, and it was.
	Although they had some government money coming in from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, although I think that came later.
	But initially, in the very early days of public broadcasting, it was listener-supported, and they did fine.
	They just didn't have the big extravagant parties and giant offices and all the rest that they have now.
	If those guys, these podcasts, come along and take a look at themselves and say, look, we're not going to do native advertising.
	We're not going to do this what is a corrupt practice.
	And we're going to just ask for a straight up, you're going to support us, we'll do the show.
	If nobody wants to support us, we'll do something else, which is what we do.
	But they can't because they have no self-confidence.
	I don't know why they can't.
	Well, because they are so sick and tired, these NPR people.
	So sick and tired of being probably beholden to the culture there and probably not making the money they think they can be making.
	It's all narcissistic.
	It's all narcissistic with them.
	And they're doing crazy things like they're still giving out tote bags.
	Yeah, you actually said it.
	Here's the NPR clip.
	I found it.
	Okay, moving on to money.
	How are NPR's corporate underwriting revenues holding up in the recession?
	And what about foundation grants?
	Okay.
	Two different stories.
	Underwriting is down.
	It's down for everybody.
	I mean, this is the area that is most down for us, is in sponsorship, underwriting, advertising, call it whatever you want.
	There you go.
	Straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak.
	Yep.
	Well, we don't subscribe to that, and we believe in the value for value model, and I'd like to go through it right now with you.
	I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	And we do have a few people to thank for show 743.
	And let's list them off.
	Starting with Mark Bensink in Lansing, Michigan, $100.
	He does have a request.
	He says, there's no need to list this donation amount.
	What's important to me is getting a fuck cancer for Marta in Poland.
	With an E on the end.
	I've been trying to get this for the last three donations.
	I've not been successful.
	Okay.
	And the reason why is we have said long ago, and I think it's quite clear, that we just don't have time in the day to read off all the notes for all the donations, although increasingly it's becoming easier with the month of July.
	Yes, the month of July.
	We vow to read verbatim all notes sent by executive and associate executive producers, but we caught you this time.
	What a fucking son!
	Sid Compiador from Parts Unknown, $100.
	Is it not L-Sid?
	L-Sid?
	Yep.
	L-Sid Compiador.
	Green, Finney& Horton, LLP. What's that?
	I guess it's a law firm or a consultancy or an advertising agency.
	Well, hold on.
	They're in modern South Carolina.
	Accounting and Tax Services.
	Oh.
	Hello, everybody.
	Hello, you accountants and tax services guys.
	And gals.
	Stefan Hutto.
	Or Steven.
	Steven or Stefan.
	Steven Hutto.
	Hutto.

	Oh, that requires...
	999999!
	Marta Kallstrom in Portland, Oregon, $84.
	Ian Prentice in Montreal, Quebec, $80.
	Good work.
	Patrick Koble.
	Hey, Patrick.
	Yeah, Patrick from the awards we got.
	He's got the Ducati.
	Yeah, he's Patrick Koble.
	Isn't he a sir?
	Yes, most definitely.
	A sir named Ben.
	Yeah, he's a surname Ben.
	7890.
	Fairview, Tennessee.
	John Porter.
	I had dinner with him.
	John Porter in Paisley Renfrewshire.
	Renfrewshire.
	Renfrewshire.
	7733.
	David Russell, 7515.
	Anonymous dude named Ben.
	Oops.
	Uh-oh.
	Misfire.
	Sorry.
	That's a misfire.
	Colorado Springs, Colorado.
	$75.
	Joseph Abreu in Lisbon.
	Lisboa.
	Portugal.
	Here.
	Adam's comments about his trip to Portugal in the 80s stirred a lot of memories.
	I still associate Adam with the band Europe and the music Final Countdown.
	Thank you very much.
	There you go.
	Sir ZP of Lusitania.
	Hmm.
	Sir Arcane Code in Colombiana, Alabama, $73.
	Cain Nistor.
	He is November 4, India X-Ray Tango.

	Send 73s to Adam and John.
	Plus, just got a D-Link radio.
	Oh, D-Star.
	Yep.
	33 Charlie.
	033 Charlie.
	I'm monitoring constantly.
	Ah, me too.
	Right now it's in my glove compartment.
	Kalen Nist store in Northville, Michigan $72.
	Anthony Garlinger in Downers Grove, Illinois $66.60.
	April Bierig I think.
	In Amboy, Minnesota.
	She did send a note.
	It was a handwritten note, so I feel obliged to read it.
	She says, thank you.
	Where's my little...
	Here it is.
	Thank you for...
	This is a simple note.
	I think it's a good one, though.
	Thank you for all the hard work you guys put in for us, the listener.
	No Agenda is the best podcast that I have ever found.
	I am shocked that I tell you the donations are down.
	I think everyone should donate at least the cost of their cable bill.
	Good suggestion.
	And while you're at it, just cut the cord.
	Without the No Agenda show, I'd be lost in the mainstream media.
	And now she has a douchebag call-out.
	She has a douchebag call-out.
	Joel punched me in the mouth years ago and still not a donor.
	All right.
	Douchebag!
	Douchebag call-out.
	Thank you, April.
	Alan Adler in Rolling Hills, California, 5973.

	Eric Hochul in Berlin, Deutschland, $52.
	I think he's a sir.
	I believe so.
	I think so.
	Sir Eric.
	Roger Esty in Palm Harbor, Florida, $51.
	And the rest of these folks are all $50 donors.
	The list is not very long.
	And here they are.
	Starting with Ralph Massaro in Kirkland, Washington.
	Armando Guerra.
	Hey, I miss him.
	My old mail carrier.
	Miss him.
	Miss you, Armando.
	Miss you.
	Says he still hasn't tried the barbecue in the Bee Cave barbecue.

	Ross Turpin, Troy, Kansas.
	Eric Bejima, In Holland.
	You're not going to try it?
	Huisen.
	What is it?
	Huisen.
	Huisen.
	I knew this.
	Huisen.
	Not Huisen.
	Huisen.
	Huisen.
	There you go.
	Better.
	And finally, last but not least, our buddy over here in Oakland, Sir Alan Bean.
	$50 and one to...
	Thank all these folks for contributing to show 743 during the month of July, which I think takes a special person.
	Yeah.
	No more shows left for the month of July, thank God.
	And hopefully things will pick up on Sunday.
	One extra note that I picked out of the bunch.
	This is from Dustin Martin.
	Adam, I'd like to humbly request some job comment from my girl, Heaven.
	She's working two jobs right now at the bank and the porn shop, and it's killing her.
	She's up for promotion at the bank.
	If she gets it, she can quit the porn shop.
	Discounts are awesome, but it just keeps her away from you for too many hours.
	I try not to ask for things because I'm only about halfway to knighthood, but this is important.
	Thank you very much, sir.
	All right.
	I think that's very...
	And when we're at the end, we also have another fuck cancer for Gavin Williamson.
	Oh, let me add that.
	And just in over the transom...
	You'll like this.
	This is from my therapist.
	She listens to the show?
	Well, we'll call her Sandy just to make it easy to give her a name.
	Hi Adam, I'm vibing with no agenda.
	Echoes, I should mention she's 72.
	She looks 42.
	This woman's a freak of nature.
	And she's 5'2".
	I'm vibing with no agenda.
	Echoes late night combos with friends and frenemies sitting around and throwing out every edgy and far out idea that fits across our brains.
	Working our way toward new awareness and truth.
	The level of authenticity you and your friend...
	Hey, you and your friend Crete is intoxication.
	Immediately, I liked and began to trust both of your voices.
	Your hinted points of view so impelling, I want to know more.
	Your nonchalance, nothing to lose, nothing to gain, just keeping it real, hooks me.
	In a world of fakery and phony, listening to you guys just being brilliantly informed and opinionated is an inspiring and affirming validation and relief.
	Well done.
	Now to get Bluetooth hooked in for my days-long road trip so I can eavesdrop on what feels like trusted friends' random convo about nothing and everything.
	Thank you for doing what you do.
	Yeah, she's up in the rate, I can tell.
	She's up in the what?
	Your rate.
	Your rate?
	Your hourly.
	Not today's show, she's not.
	I'm sorry, but we have to, you know, expenses are up.
	I'm going to have to add the five to ten dollars to you.
	It's uncanny.
	You nailed her voice.
	How do you do it, Mr.
	Dvorak?
	It's great.
	Jobs!
	Jobs!
	Jobs and jobs!
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got our money.
	There you go, everybody.
	We will be doing another show on Sunday.
	And, of course, I will be reporting back from the podcast...
	What is it, the podcast experience?
	Between now and Sunday, you get to go to get your award.
	Yeah, what is this thing called?
	Is it the podcast experience?
	It's the podcast world, podcast headquarters of podcasting.
	No, it's called something else.
	What is it called?
	It's called podcast...
	Podcast something.
	Movement.
	Podcast movement.
	The podcast movement.
	You hear that apparently you two people are winning lifetime achievements and one of them is not going to show up.
	I'm going.
	Oh, it must be the other guy.
	Who's not going?
	Oh, I know who's not going.
	Really?
	I was so looking forward to saying hi.
	Well, you know, maybe he'll show up.
	My understanding is he's not going to go.
	Okay.
	It's like you look out there and you go, eh, now we're to trouble.
	Well, I'm going.
	I don't think you get that many Lifetime Achievements awards.
	No.
	Lifetime Achievements.
	And I'm going because increasingly with the resurgence of podcasting, I'm no longer mentioned.
	So I've got to keep my name out.
	You've got to go.
	You have to go because you're being marginalized as these newbies come out and they're big experts and they don't even know you or they don't know Weiner or you.
	They don't know their own history.
	Do you want to talk about my speech now, or should I let me do the birthdays and our nighting?
	Do all that, and then we'll go.
	Dvorak.org slash NA Well, it's a real short one today.
	Marcel Janota says, I'm sorry, Anthony Garlanger and his wife Chelsea apparently are both turning 31.
	So we say happy birthday to them and anyone else already who didn't send in a note here at the best podcast in the universe.
	Alright, I got my blades.
	You can grab yours.
	Very nice.
	Marcel Janota, please set up onto the podium, sir.
	We're very proud to bring you into the inner circle.
	That is the round table for the Knights and Dames of the No Agenda Show.
	And with your contributions and $1,000 or more, I'm very happy to pronounce the case.
	You, sir, Marcel Ginota.
	For you we have the always lovely hookers and bows, renboys and chardonnay, porn stars and pot, girlfriend experience and good bourbon, opium and warm orange juice, three gasses and a bucket of fried chicken, wenches and beer.
	Vodka and vanilla, bong hits and bourbon, sparkling cider and escorts, breast milk and pablum, or the ever-lovely and tasty mutton and mead.
	And you, Sir Marcel Janota, can go to noagendanation.com slash rings.
	Eric DeShield will get on the stick for you right away.
	So...
	So...
	So what we have to do is...
	They would like a two to three minute acceptance speech.
	I can go longer or shorter if I want.
	Well, you can always go longer.
	You can always...
	Until the band starts playing.
	Let's go with the original thesis.
	My original suggestion was to hold up, grab the thing...
	Shake the guy's hand, hold up the trophy and say, thank you for award, and then drop the mic and walk.
	That was the original idea.
	Nobody, everybody thinks it's a funny idea, but you will not do that because you think it's rude.
	It's rude.
	Okay, it's rude, but if everyone knows you're going to do that, it's kind of what they expect, but okay, it's rude.
	But people also expect honesty from me.
	That's honesty.
	It's rude honesty.
	It's rude honesty.
	I don't like rude honesty.
	There should be something else.
	How about grabbing the award and going, yeah!
	One of those things.
	How about I just thank a million people, including God, for giving me the ideas?
	No, that's too much.
	That's a parody.
	That's rude.
	Oh, okay.
	You're parodying the reward scene.
	Well, then, you know, I'm stuck on this.
	Okay, here's another suggestion that's a little more of what you would like to do.
	I go up there, grab the award, say, thanks, I really didn't expect this.
	If there's a cute trophy babe, I'm going to French kiss her.
	There's not going to be a cute trophy babe, I can assure you.
	No, I know.
	It's like a Star Trek convention, kind of.
	Yeah, there'll be some, you know, there'll be some male dweeb handing you the award.
	I think, actually, I got an email about it.
	I may know who's giving it.
	Continue with your thoughts.
	Maybe you can get some babe up there.
	I doubt it.
	So you'd go up and say, thanks for your word.
	I did not expect this.
	You have to say that.
	I did not really expect this.
	I'm still trying to achieve.
	Lifetime achievement is a bit premature.
	But I want to thank everybody for...
	No, wait a minute.
	Let me think.
	Hold on a second.
	This is great, John.
	I like this.
	I'm sorry.
	I should actually do that.
	You told me, sent me an email and said, I want some more advice on this speech.
	Yeah.
	You can just thank a few people.
	I got it.
	I'm right down.
	You get the award and you say, this award is important to me and it confirms what I've always thought, that the new media and this sort of broadcasting, you do air quotes, this sort of broadcasting.
	Air quotes.
	I'm holding on to this huge award.
	I can't do air quotes.
	Do a half-up quote.
	Okay.
	You knew one.
	I think one's good enough in this modern era.
	An air quote with one in the left hand, you got the trophy in the right.
	Everybody here, and then you start to compliment the audience, everybody here is involved, whether you know it or not, in a movement, and it's called a movement.
	Ooh, nice!
	Bring back the title of the show.
	Yeah, a movement.
	In a movement that's probably going to be more important than broadcasting itself.
	And I really welcome everybody here, and I really think this is fantastic that we can all get together and share our knowledge.
	And again, thank you very much, and then you'll walk.
	And no, I think I like this, and I add one more thing.
	If you want to purchase a podcast license, I'll be in the foyer for $33, and you can buy a podcast license.
	We'll get yourname.podcastlicense.com.
	You could throw that in if you want to go commercial.
	And a tote bag.
	Somehow, with what I suggested, you have to slip in noagendashow.com.
	But maybe not.
	No, that's gratuitous.
	I like this.
	You're part of a movement.
	I've got to write it down.
	The broadcast quote thing, what am I saying again?
	He's going to say, this will be more important than broadcasting itself.
	Okay.
	Because what it's allowed us to do is to be broadcasters as we choose to be broadcasters.
	There's no antennas.
	There's no these restrictions.
	No stinking transmitters.
	Yes.
	There's no transmitters.
	There's no licenses.
	You could say there's no licenses yet, but I don't think you should.
	And then I should point out that this is the podcast Hall of Fame, not the netcast Hall of Fame.
	And now, back to real back to real news.
	Something caught my eye on the Today Show.
	It only caught my ear more.
	Because you had mentioned these silly titles that people want to have when they join one of these morning shows.
	Was it based on Mike Morrell, I think, who is now senior correspondent?
	Senior.
	Senior something.
	Senior.
	Yeah.
	So the Today Show added a new one.
	Speaking of food, we've got an exciting announcement.
	You guys remember Sam Cass, of course, is a former assistant White House chef, executive director of the First Lady's Let's Move campaign, and nutrition advisor to the president.
	Well, he's got one more title for his resume.
	He is becoming an NBC News senior food analyst.
	You'll be seeing him a lot right here on Today on Nightly, of course, and then also Today Food.
	Senior Food Analyst.
	What?
	Yeah, Senior Food Analyst.
	That's what we need.
	Well, since you put us to the real news segment, I might as well mention this story, which we used to do more of this sort of thing.
	But this poor Whitney Houston's daughter story.
	Oh, Bobby Christina.
	It just seems like another one of these Hollywood, let's grab and kill someone and get their money.
	Oh, she's the heir to everything.
	And her family, Sissy Houston and Dionne Warwick, they're all money-grubbing hounds.
	So here's Whitney's daughter.
	I put murder, because it seems to me that very few people are going to be face down.
	I don't know if I get away with this, but okay.
	A legal fight brewing a $20 million fortune at stake.
	Only days after her passing, new screaming headlines about a big bucks battle.
	The looming courtroom showdown over this Whitney's will.
	She left everything to her daughter, but with the 22-year-old's tragic death, what happens next?
	Looks like there's just going to be an illegal dogfight.
	Billboard magazine's Alex Gale revealing a behind-the-scenes power struggle is underway for Bobby Christina's inheritance.
	The money went into a trust.
	Its co-executors, Aunt Pat and Uncle Gary, could make the decisions.
	Whitney's mother, Sissy, could also receive a portion.
	Bobby Brown is also named in the document, but because he and Whitney divorced, may not be entitled to a cent.
	I think it's going to go on for a while.
	I mean, I think we're talking years, unfortunately.
	Ex-boyfriend Nick Gordon has no legal standing.
	They were never married.
	Today, his mother, Michelle...
	Right.
	It goes on and on and on and on.
	If I did the work, which I'm not going to do, and went back, I can find article after article about how she was bankrupt and had no more money, and Bobby Brown got her all jacked and poor.
	But now it seems that's not so.
	They lie to us.
	Not so.
	It's just not so.
	It's all lies.
	This is the media, and the entertainment media is worse.
	They're worse than the regular media.
	There was a vote at the United Nations, and the vote by itself wasn't unexpected how it turned out.
	This was driven by the Netherlands, primarily, to set up an international tribunal to bring the killers and the downers of flight MH17 over Ukraine to justice.
	Now, this, of course, is...
	Hold on a second, Adam.
	Stop the show.
	Just for background information, I want to know, because I haven't been keeping up with this story.
	Hold on a second.
	Stop the show.
	Stop the show.
	I haven't been keeping up with this story, but I know you have.
	Yes.
	So what did they find on that black box?
	Because they got the black box from that plane.
	I know that.
	That's where I kind of left it.
	I don't remember anything after that.
	So they got the black box.
	I think they have it in Holland.
	And so what did it say on there?
	They haven't really released the report yet.
	Sorry?
	Yeah, preliminary report, but there's no transcripts, there's no original recordings.
	How old is this story?
	This is over a year.
	Initially it was gone.
	Has it been a year?
	I think it's been a year, yeah.
	It's been a year, and the black box, which I think they have.
	Initially they said the memory chip had popped out of the black box, and oh, then they found the black box.
	I thought the memory chip black box story was the one with the plane, the Lufthansa plane that crashed into the mountain.
	Oh yeah, I'm confused.
	You're right.
	That's a different bullshit story.
	They're running together at this point.
	They're running together at this point.
	You're right.
	Well, the reason why I'm going to play this clip and what happened is an international tribunal is, of course, insane to do.
	I do not believe the Netherlands even thought this had a snowball's chance in hell, to use a metaphor.
	They wouldn't want it because a big part of the Dutch GDP is based upon Russian oil, Russian gas, all being stored in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, being sold on.
	All of the accountants and the lawyers and the PO box companies, a huge industry built around Russian resources in the Netherlands.
	We're part owners of pipelines.
	No, this was not meant to be.
	But anytime we can call out the Russians as being assholes, that's fine.
	But here's what's interesting.
	I'm seeing more, and it kind of started with Samantha Power, although I wouldn't give her all the accolades.
	I believe that politicians on an international scale are seeing the advantage of bringing good-looking people into the game.
	Actors.
	Who act well.
	I thought Ronald Reagan was an actor.
	I think Barack Obama is an actor.
	He's very good.
	His oratory is good.
	Now we have...
	I have not seen her, but this is a foreign minister for Australia, Julie Bishop.
	And so we had a vote in the United Nations.
	Do we want an international tribunal?
	And Russia voted no, which means they have veto power, so it's not going to happen.
	And she responds in a predictable way.
	But while we're playing this, I suggest you look up some images of Julie Bishop.
	The draft resolution has not been adopted owing to the negative vote of a permanent member of the council.
	Mr.
	President, only one hand was raised in opposition.
	But a veto should never be allowed to deny justice.
	Isn't that exactly what a veto is for?
	The recital of discredited contentions and the anticipated excuses and obfuscation by the Russian Federation should be treated with the utmost disdain.
	The exercise of the veto today is an affront to the memory of the 298 victims of MH17 and their families and friends.
	Russia has made a mockery of its own commitment to accountability.
	Those responsible may believe that they can now hide behind the Russian Federation veto.
	They will not be allowed to evade justice.
	Did you look her up?
	Yeah.
	She's pretty.
	She is for 60.
	Yeah, for 60, she's super pretty.
	She looks like a hard ass to me.
	Well, she's a career politician, but I'm just seeing more pretty faces on the scene, you know?
	More and more pretty faces.
	Well, that's what it's supposed to be.
	No, it's always been...
	I know the old rule.
	Yeah, politics is show business for ugly people, but there's pretty people coming in, and frankly, I think this is good.
	I'm not going to argue it, although I distrust pretty people in politics.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Hmm.
	I do.
	It's just something visceral.
	I don't know why, but I do.
	Just staying with Australia for a moment, and I can only believe this to be a true story.
	I have to be careful with things I don't research extensively because we get called out.
	Yeah, you made a mistake.
	We'll talk about it in a minute.
	Okay.
	There is a 24-hour cat curfew in Australia.
	Yes, cat owners...
	How do you have a cat curfew?
	Well, cat owners who live near areas containing threatened species could be banned with a new bill from allowing their pets outdoors as the federal government sets its sights on the potential killing machines.
	This is a quote.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, that's true.
	I mean, in Australia, which is a marsupial...
	Yeah.
	It was all marsupials.
	And cats and mammals love eating marsupials because they're slow moving.
	So here's what's going to be interesting to watch on the Twitters and the Facebooks, because the government's feral cat plan, they plan to cull, which means kill, two million feral cats.
	Yeah.
	So you want to keep your cat indoors so it won't be killed by the federales.
	I don't know how they can...
	You know, feral cats are smart.
	Yeah.
	They're hard to catch.
	Well, I don't think they're going to catch them.
	I think they're just going to walk around with glocks and shoot them.
	I don't think they're going to do that.
	That would be too dangerous.
	They can trap them.
	They might trap them.
	They need some Australian cat trappers.
	I believe that is a job title.
	Okay.
	Well, they have kangaroo callers.
	Roo shooters, they call them.
	Roo shooters.
	Alright, next.
	What was this error you made?
	I forgot what it was.
	Oh, it was about the...
	And I believe I framed it properly by saying this is something I'm going to look into, something that's popping up, that the shooter...
	No, was it the shooting?
	No, one of the servicemen killed in...
	Oh, right.
	Was it Chattanooga?
	Right, where they had the recruiting officer.
	One of the guys you cited was not killed.
	It was someplace else.
	Right.
	But then I looked at the two pictures of the guys.
	They didn't look the same.
	Yeah, but I think I framed it properly by saying I have to look into it.
	Well, we didn't see any other evidence.
	It was a throwaway.
	I'll tell you, it was a throwaway, but what happened is people who live in the area, and it's normal, and I understand what happened, but people who live in the area, if you live close enough, you know people who are affected by this.
	Someone who knows the guy's brother, but man, some people went off on me.
	Oh, that's...
	To five minutes of Googling, I would have seen this was a hoax!
	That's the whole point.
	That's why you're producers.
	That same guy.
	Yeah, send me a note.
	He was talking to me earlier in the show.
	Just send me a note and say, hey, you know, I think you messed it up.
	You don't have to, like, be all in my grill about it.
	Yeah.
	Most of the material on this show is preliminary.
	Yes.
	And we work on it for a long time.
	We stay with stories.
	For a long time.
	For a long time.
	We're not like your normal media, you know, hit and run.
	We've heard many a story on here that we've been talking about.
	Well, that was kind of...
	Over years.
	In fact, the wrecked plane is a good example.
	Right.
	Well, I'll say it was.
	Yes.
	It was kind of hit and run on my part, and I apologize.
	But just help us.
	Don't go out there yelling and screaming.
	I feel bad because I... Yeah, it is kind of your job to stop it.
	It's my job, and I like to do it.
	I'd like to find you making a mistake.
	You do the same thing.
	Don't kill yourself.
	No, I don't.
	I got him.
	These guys, you think these two guys look the same?
	I mean, I could just imagine all the fun I would have had, and I dropped the ball.
	I think I'm being distracted or something, because I think I shouldn't be dropping the ball like that.
	It's my fault.
	You should try therapy.
	Blame me.
	Therapy.
	Oh, just on the cultural Marxism, I will keep that as a phrase.
	You know, what did we have?
	We had the Confederate flag.
	What else did we do?
	All kinds of politically correct things.
	And now there's the springtime for Hitler.
	Not Springtime for Hitler.
	The producers, the play, the producers, is running currently the only theater center in Maryland.
	And the storyline is about two producers who sell, what was it, 400% of the shares in this musical.
	Yeah, they're going to do called Springtime for Hitler.
	Because they know it'll flop and they can keep the money.
	Right.
	And now there is a movement afoot.
	I'll read from one of the movement's websites.
	They will tell you it is a satire.
	They will tell you it is their artistic freedom.
	They will get Mel Brooks and theater reviewers to defend how funny it is.
	Quotes.
	Mr.
	Brooks, actors and comedians have a right to their personal twisted sense of humor.
	But when symbols of racist hatred are displayed in public areas, mocking the tragedies the world has suffered, they need to take their sense of humor elsewhere.
	Tell them enough!
	Tell them take it down!
	Wow!
	Where'd you get that?
	It's a whole movement.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	It's pathetic.
	It's pathetic.
	It's really, really pathetic.
	There's all kinds of crazy stuff going on.
	And the funny thing is that it would sound like maybe a parody, some sort of publicity stunt, some sort of...
	I believe that's probably true.
	There are too many people out there, and they're gaining a number that are like this.
	Yeah.
	It's a real problem.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Well, let's go over this one story that was on the NewsHour.
	And I thought it was...
	I just want to run the story out there because I think we're going to...
	I think it's part of something else.
	And I think you've talked about...
	I think, I think, I think you've talked about...
	Some of these rules, these high sea rules, and some of these ocean laws.
	Oh, the law of the sea.
	The law of the sea.
	I don't know that this is directly connected, but there's a guy writing a series in the New York Times.
	It was on the NewsHour talking about it.
	Good stuff.
	I mean, really outstanding.
	I could just see Pulitzer written all over.
	This is set up as a Pulitzer.
	Mm-hmm.
	But let's play a few clips of it.
	He's just moaning and groaning about the shit going on on the oceans.
	And start with murder on the high seas.
	Okie dokie.
	In your series, you document a horrible incident that happened, I believe it was in the Indian Ocean, of this very graphic cell phone video of men being shot in the water.
	Again...
	Oh, have you seen this video?
	Yeah, they showed it.
	Oh, really?
	Cool.
	This is pretty clear evidence of a graphic, horrible crime, and yet no one has been held to account for this.
	They were brown.
	How do you explain that?
	It's pretty amazing.
	So were the shooters.
	This was a cell phone video that was found, and it shows a clear case of murder.
	There are four men floating in the water, and over ten minutes they are shot.
	And at the end of the video the most striking part is that those involved in the shooting posed for selfies.
	They've just shot men to death in the water and then here they are taking selfies of themselves.
	And the video ends up on the internet and so the question is how is it possible with this much There are four large tuna longline vessels in the area, so that means there are dozens of witnesses, a video on the internet with the culprits.
	But it gets to the heart of the issue that you raised before.
	There's no interested party that has the wherewithal to prosecute or investigate.
	And at the end of the day, the C's are this sprawling space.
	And so pinning down where and when something occurs out there when there's so few other people that weren't party to the crime is difficult.
	All right, so that was one of the little tidbits.
	And so let's play the clips that kind of start with the ship's overview, and then we'll do the two other clips.
	And there's something just unusual that this is coming up.
	It's easy to overlook just how dependent our lives and the entire global economy have become on shipping and the seas.
	Today, several million ships carry roughly 90% of the world's goods.
	But a New York Times series shows how little we know about the lawless seas.
	Migrants, stowaways, and fishermen disappear, often killed in accidents or worse.
	There's evidence of murders taking place offshore.
	And tens of thousands of workers are essentially enslaved each year.
	All the while, international maritime law seems wholly inadequate, and few authorities ever step in.
	We have a number of themes going on at the same time.
	One of them is slavery.
	Major, major theme in all the news streams.
	Sex slavery, this sort of slavery, that sort of slavery.
	Slavery in India, slavery in the slavery.
	So that's a major theme.
	This ship thing just adds to it because we didn't think that the You know, the idea of press gangs, which apparently take place still, grab you and make you work on a boat whether you like it or not.
	I guess they just can't pay enough.
	I'm not sure why that happens.
	But this little tidbit here, this is the ships that have one bad apple little sub clip I thought was very entertaining.
	Ian Urbina reported this series and he joins me now.
	Ian, welcome.
	Thanks.
	In the first part of your series, you talk about a particular ship, the Donna LaBerta, and you document a whole manner of crimes.
	Terrible treatment of its crew, throwing stowaways overboard, dumping oily residue into the water.
	You're able to name the owner of the ship, but yet nothing seems to be done about that.
	Why is that?
	Number one, a lot of these companies are essentially P.O. boxes, and they're sort of shells over shells over shells.
	And that was the case here.
	So just pinning down the owning company was tough.
	But secondly, you have a boat that has maybe ten different nationalities in terms of the crew.
	The captain from yet another nation, the company that owns it is the third nation, and it's flagged to a fourth nation, and it's passing through international waters.
	So even figuring out who would prosecute or investigate a crime is tough.
	And then the last part is there's really no one wanting to investigate these matters.
	When crimes occur, it's usually against crew or the environment, and the crew are typically from poor countries, and those countries don't have the wherewithal to prosecute.
	Now, do you have any thinking behind this, John?
	What is going on with this report in general, or...?
	I believe it has something to do with the laws of the sea.
	They're trying to find a...
	Although it's still going to be impossible because if you're one of these ships in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and you throw some guy over the side because he's a stowaway...
	I'm surprised anyone would be a stowaway with that threat.
	I don't know how you can enforce any of this stuff, but this has something to do with...
	And I believe if you played the last clip, I'll have some thoughts on it.
	I think this has something to do with the...
	What they said in the initial part of the report, which is 90%, this is outrageous if you think about it, 90% of all the world's goods are on a ship.
	Yeah, which is, that's what I caught, and I'm thinking, does this somehow tie into the Chinese rail that is, you know, the new Silk Road, which is delivering goods via rail all the way to Germany?
	I think this is a report that's aimed at, the Chinese rail has nothing to do with us.
	Mm-hmm.
	And the audience for this piece in the New York Times is about...
	Why are they telling us about this?
	We don't care about the Chinese rail or anything like that.
	There's something else afoot.
	And I think it has to do with trade with China.
	Because if you think...
	When you hear 90% of...
	Is this a TTP story?
	Well, then they have to deal with the enforcement.
	I'm not sure, but I'm telling you something.
	But let's listen to this last thing, because this was adding on.
	It's called piling on.
	We have, oh, these guys are killing people.
	They're shooting people.
	They're throwing them over the side.
	And then there's this.
	This is the environmental crimes.
	The environmental crimes that you document in this series are also quite stark.
	You write, ships intentionally dump more engine oil and sludge into the oceans in the span of three years.
	Then that spilled in the Deepwater Horizon and Exxon Valdez accidents combined, ocean researchers say, and emit huge amounts of certain air pollutants, far more than all the world's cars.
	But what is being done to combat those types of crimes?
	Not a whole lot.
	Again, because while there are rules on the books, rules are only as good as their enforcement, and that's where the high seas become especially difficult, because it's super costly to put boats on the water.
	It's such a huge space to patrol, and no nation has the jurisdiction to do that in the high seas, because it belongs to everyone and no one.
	So there are strong rules on the books forbidding that kind of behavior.
	But there's no one out there to stop it.
	Okay, the only way you can deal with any of this is you have to have monitoring.
	So first you have to have the laws.
	They say the law's already in place.
	Well, then you can't dock these boats in any certain ports.
	You can do what we do the best.
	We sanction things.
	Right.
	You can't bring your boat into any of our ports, Long Beach, San Francisco, on the west coast, and then you have the eastern ports.
	See, they stopped that whole blockade, the whole strike, right?
	That ended?
	Oh, yeah, that ended months and months and months ago.
	Okay, all right.
	But you have to now have monitoring that costs money.
	This may be just another scam to sell stuff.
	You know, Chertoff again.
	Selling monitors that, you know, you have things that monitor what's the bilge water and all this stuff.
	Because they're dumping crap over the side and they're shooting people.
	Who knows?
	There's something afoot.
	That's all I can tell you.
	I don't know what it is, but it's something complicated.
	Now, where did this take place?
	Was this off the coast of West Africa?
	I think this was mostly the Pacific...
	It's all over.
	Well, then the logical explanation is we need to bring warships into the area.
	That's not the logical explanation when you look at the size of the area.
	Right.
	Yeah, with pirates, you could probably do a little bit.
	You can help a little bit because they're only within a certain limited, you know, square miles.
	But the Pacific Ocean, if you're dumping crap off the, you know, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, there's nobody around.
	I mean, there's not anything to be seen from horizon to horizon except water, and you're throwing a stowaway over the side shooting him or whatever you do.
	I still think it's funny.
	I can't help it.
	They're shooting these poor bastards?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It was so, you know, sometimes things are so horrific.
	It was a crazy clip.
	These guys, what are they doing there?
	Why did they throw them in the water to begin with and then shoot them?
	And they're shooting away.
	They're lousy shots.
	Target practice.
	I guess they were shooting from the hip because they weren't hitting anything.
	There's something amiss.
	There's something going on.
	And it has something to do with trade.
	It has something to do with China.
	It has something to do with monitoring.
	That's TPP. Licensing.
	It may be.
	Maybe it's just all about the TPP. Maybe there's something that will help Congress want to pass TPP because people being shot.
	I don't know about that.
	They're dumb.
	But there's a lot of, but then they have the element of slavery, which is the other one, is a big part of his story.
	And then we have this story, which is running everywhere.
	This is, something's up with this.
	This is the sold for sex clip.
	Hold on.
	The FBI tells the BBC that the sexual exploitation of children here in America has reached an almost epidemic level.
	And tonight we're leading the broadcast with a special report on the issue.
	All this week we've heard disturbing stories from the UK and Nigeria.
	But tonight those victims are here in the US in cities and towns.
	Last year alone federal agents rescued more than 600 children from a life of exploitation.
	Ian Pannell's report from Baltimore contains harrowing testimony.
	There's a terrible darkness coursing through the veins of America.
	Most have no idea it's there, and some choose not to know.
	But every night, hundreds of American children are being sold for sex in their own country.
	Oh, that's rich.
	That's rich, Brits.
	Yes, I thought you'd get a kick out of that.
	Your entire government are all pedophiles.
	This is another line of query that's going on, and it's not just the BBC. It's all over the place.
	I've seen these stories cropping up.
	It's almost, and I'm not sure what this is, they're kind of blaming the FBI. The FBI is reporting this.
	It's like, I'm thinking, why isn't the FBI doing something?
	Well, they'll do anything that's necessary for them.
	To do anything that's necessary.
	And then, of course, they're targeting Baltimore with this particular story, which I think is part of a kind of a big-picture ploy to get rid of the mayor, that black woman who's like...
	Oh, yes, yes.
	She's got to go.
	And so this is...
	Let's target Baltimore.
	And they show these clips...
	Not the mayor, the...
	Police chief already quit.
	The mayor they're after.
	Believe me.
	And they show, you know, then they're showing these street walkers, and I don't know.
	What does that have to do with child pornography or child abuse?
	There wasn't any children, I can see, but they're talking about there's a lot of 15, 16-year-olds walking the streets.
	But they're showing this part of Baltimore nobody goes to.
	It's that boarded up thing that used for a movie set.
	This sounds to me like BBC is covering up for the UK elites, and it's rampant.
	This all started with Jim will fix it.
	Jimmy Savile and, you know, humping corpses in the morgue.
	Yeah.
	Nah, this is BBC cover-up stuff.
	Just distract.
	Oh, look at the Americans.
	Americans, oh, they're horrible.
	Yeah, of course we're horrible, but stop.
	Do some investigation on your own turf, BBC. Well, there's that element.
	But I've seen more than just that, the BBC covering.
	There's something going on with this.
	Probably related to Ashley Madison.
	I'm just waiting for it.
	I'm waiting for that list to come out.
	It's never going to come out.
	Speaking of Comey, we had another six-week cycle mini-event.
	It's still within range.
	Florida.
	Florida.
	Florida, where the ISIS-inspired Florida man planned to detonate a nail bomb on the beach.
	But here's the discrepancy, and it's repeated everywhere, including The Guardian, and everyone just repeated whatever the press release was.
	He had what they call a timer bomb.
	And so the way the story goes, he had a timer bomb that he planned to detonate remotely.
	That makes no sense.
	How do you do that?
	Well, it's either a bomb you're going to detonate remotely, or it's a bomb that has a timer.
	Yeah, it's not both.
	And the guy didn't do anything.
	Unless remotely you can start the timer remotely.
	But that's not specified.
	That's not specified.
	That's not specified.
	And nobody does that.
	Stupid.
	You know, they gave the guy money.
	The guy takes the money.
	He gets the materials.
	100 bucks.
	He's going to build a nail bomb.
	He's going to plan to detonate on the beach.
	Then he was creating a timer.
	And then they arrested him because he was going to detonate it remotely.
	I'm sorry.
	You guys really got to shore up your story.
	Yeah, that was very poorly written.
	Yeah.
	Well, yes.
	Yes.
	I think the good writers at the FBI all quit when Mueller quit.
	He probably took him with him to Facebook.
	Rebelization of the Middle East.
	The United States government has now approved the sale of $5.4 billion in missiles to Saudi Arabia.
	These missiles are of a specific type.
	This is the Pac-3 missiles.
	They defend against incoming aircraft and missiles.
	So this is obviously part of the Iran cabal, the gambit, let's call it the Iran gambit, which, yes, I'm going there again, was filled with testimony on the Hill by our friend John F. Carey.
	He loves his initials.
	And I have some clips.
	I'm breaking my own rules yet again.
	I just don't understand how you can do it.
	Well, what's nice to see is that...
	If you're clipping them down and you're really cutting them down, I'm not too...
	Do you know what's great?
	Is that the senators, I think it's the senators, because this treaty, and it is a treaty, must be approved by two-thirds of the Senate.
	These guys are fed up with Kerry's long-windedness as well.
	So they're cutting him off.
	They're starting to just cut him off and just be nasty to him.
	Let me see where I shall start.
	The problem that Kerry has when they're cutting him off like that is that the Democrats are as much on board with the Republicans and the Democrats.
	To go after Kerry.
	So in a normal situation, you'd have a Republican cutting somebody off, and some Democrat, oh, you shouldn't cut him off.
	But no.
	Yeah, it's a good point.
	Now, the Constitution, Article 2, Section 2, Paragraph 2, states that treaties must be made with advice from the Senate and consent of two-thirds, or the majority, so two-thirds of the Senate.
	67 votes, I believe it is.
	And this is a problem.
	We've already tried the, well, the world thinks it's a good idea.
	The United Nations Security Council voted for it, so that's good enough.
	That should be good enough for everybody.
	It's very difficult.
	And now we have Kerry stating that this is not a treaty.
	And do you know why it's not a treaty?
	I'd love to know.
	228 years, the Constitution provided a way out of that mess by allowing treaties to be with the advice and consent of 67 U.S. Senators.
	Why is this not considered a treaty?
	Well, Congressman, I spent quite a few years trying to get a lot of treaties through the United States Senate, and frankly, it's become physically impossible.
	That's why.
	Because you can't pass a treaty anymore.
	It's not a treaty because you can't pass a treaty.
	Wow!
	Wow!
	That is Clip of the Day.
	Oh, man, at the very end, I'm so happy I just slid in safe on that one.
	Barely.
	Clip of the Day.
	Unbelievable.
	He continues, if you're interested.
	Oh, yeah.
	And it's become impossible to, you know, schedule.
	It's become impossible to pass.
	And I sat there leading the charge on the Disabilities Treaty, which fell to basically Ideology and politics, so I think that's the reason why.
	But let's say Congress doesn't take your advice.
	We override a veto.
	And the law that's triggered then imposes certain sanctions.
	Will you follow the law even though you think it violates this agreement clearly, and even if you think it's absolutely terrible policy?
	I can't begin to answer that at this point without consulting with the President and determining what the circumstances are.
	So you're not committed to following the law?
	No, I said I'm not going to deal with a hypothetical, that's all.
	Something just crashed, John.
	Damn it.
	Oh, we're not streaming now?
	I don't know.
	This thing crashed.
	Hold on.
	Oh, boy.
	I told you to go back to the Mac.
	I'm on the Mac.
	Huh?
	What are you talking about?
	I don't know what to do right now.
	Hold on a second.
	You can reboot everything?
	The stream is good.
	The stream is still good.
	Let me see.
	I don't want to reboot everything if I can...
	It's just the clip machine?
	Well, it's everything.
	It's the clip machine, the recording machine, the streaming.
	Now, the stream is still up, but the app has stopped responding.
	Let me see what I can do.
	Hmm.
	Well, make a note.
	Yeah, make a note for sure.
	I'm going to...
	Oh, this may have killed it.
	Oh, crap, Ola.
	Let's see what happens.
	Are we still streaming, people?
	We may still be streaming.
	Hmm.
	This is the...
	I don't know.
	Hey, John, this is where you have to say, jiggle the handle.
	Hey, man, jiggle the handle!
	I just don't know if we're...
	Well, it says we're streaming, so...
	Okay.
	I hope we are, and otherwise I'll have to do some fancy editing.
	Well, somebody better keep an eye on the...
	Well, we have the automatic backup.
	We have the automatic backup record.
	Let's make sure it started.
	I'm pretty sure it did.
	Yeah, okay.
	We have the backup recording.
	If the stream is going, then...
	It's just a glitch, John.
	Don't worry.
	I love them glitches.
	All right, I'm going to skip two others, but here's McCain, who had a little funny on Kerry, who got all huffy about it.
	Always love that.
	If that's what they want to do, are you better off preventing them from having a nuclear weapon?
	Or do you want to go right back to where we were when they had 19,000 centrifuges, 12,000 kilograms of material, enough for 10 to 12 bombs?
	They've already mastered the fuel cycle, so don't be looking 15 years down the road.
	Right now they have this ability.
	And we're stopping that.
	We're taking that away from them and providing a lifetime.
	The Senator's time has expired.
	How'd that North Korean deal work out for you, Senator McCaskill?
	Well, Senator, I can give you the complete confirmation.
	Senator McCaskill, your time has expired.
	Senator McCaskill.
	It didn't work out for me.
	I didn't cut the deal.
	Carrie, like a little schoolboy.
	I didn't cut that deal.
	I didn't cut that deal.
	McCain.
	How'd that work out for you?
	Carrie, you were acting like a two-year-old.
	Of course, both of them.
	How'd that work out for you?
	End of show clip.
	Are you interested in an end of show clip today?
	I got a couple of shows.
	You have an end of show clip?
	Yeah, the George Carlin on the self-esteem movement.
	Thought it might be fun for our ongoing conversation.
	I thought we were going to stop doing those.
	Okay, it's hereby removed.
	Good, it's done.
	Then let me just say something.
	I need to direct something towards our live listening audience.
	I disclose something very personal on this show.
	I disclose that my Tourette's has taken on a tick of sniffing, which I tried to do...
	So the noise gate doesn't cut out.
	You have to understand, these ticks are like sneezing.
	You can't stop a sneeze.
	I don't notice the sniffing.
	I've got to get on the ball here.
	I think I'm on my B game because I have not heard you.
	It's funny that I haven't caught that yet at all.
	I'm sure you say it three or four times a show.
	So I just wanted to say that I disclosed this.
	I said I'm working on it.
	By disclosing it, it's gotten much, much better.
	But then there's assholes in the chat room like, sniff count plus one.
	It is funny.
	Not to you.
	It's actually hurtful.
	Stop it, chat room.
	These guys are jerks.
	That's what I've always said.
	It's like, go over to the subreddit or something.
	Leave me alone.
	I don't even know this.
	Give me a sniff.
	Just give me one.
	But it's more subtle, like...
	Oh, that's probably why.
	Sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm working on it.
	Actually, I will say, and I've said this before and I'll say it again, usually Adam can fix these little picadillos much quicker than I can.
	When I have one, I would develop some sort of...
	I keep saying over and over again, like, yeah, no.
	Yeah, I'm pretty good at catching.
	It's funny.
	It's been a hard one.
	It takes me sometimes months.
	Adam's really fast.
	And the thing I can spot when he does, and he hasn't done it for a while, where he says something that says, okay, at the end of the sentence.
	Okay.
	Right.
	I catch those.
	Okay, right.
	Right, I don't catch as much.
	But okay, because when I watch television, I see people, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Okay.
	Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Okay.
	Blah, blah, blah.
	Or Comey and his right.
	Holy crap!
	Can this guy ever say a sentence that doesn't end with the word right?
	No.
	No, he can't.
	No.
	He's terrible at it.
	So I'm very cognizant of those particular little ticks.
	But I still don't...
	I have not caught the sniff and I have not caught the...
	It's funny.
	Right.
	Although I said it once.
	And I think also it's interesting should also qualify unless it's really interesting.
	It's interesting.
	Do I say that?
	I probably do.
	Yeah, you say that.
	And you've said a couple I think, I believes.
	I caught myself in the I think.
	But this is a personal problem, and it's annoying.
	Well, if it's a tick, it's different than these...
	Right, but most people don't see my ticks.
	You have no idea.
	That's why we don't do video.
	Are you kidding me?
	They'd be like, what the fuck is that guy doing?
	This is true.
	I will attest to this.
	What?
	Yeah.
	And the thing is, Adam in a public place, one of his tics is, when he gets into his tics, he's like creaking.
	He looks like a guy who just got out of the gym.
	He's like straightening his neck out because it hurts.
	And then he has a facial tic that's a wink.
	Yeah, and I have a nose tic sometimes.
	So the girls go by, they see this guy like he's just got weeks at him.
	Oh, he winked at me!
	And he gets up with a girl paying to get a pass at it.
	It's disgusting.
	Anyway, I just like a little compassion.
	This is annoying to me personally because I'm anal about our production qualities and it's a tough one for me.
	It's getting better.
	I'm in therapy, people.
	Give me a break.
	I don't think you can deal with that.
	The thing is...
	I was on television for eight years in America on MTV, and you never saw it, because I can do it to announce a video.
	I can stop everything.
	I've actually watched some of those old takes.
	I can see it.
	You had this one, even though on video, unless you knew to look for it, you wouldn't have thought it was a tick, but you have this kind of jaw thing.
	It's very minor, but it's noticeable.
	It's like, I can't even describe it, but it's like a jaw moves over in a funny way just for a split second.
	And you'd have to have seen it a lot to spot it.
	That did come through.
	But I guess compared to your normal jerking around, it's not bad at all.
	Well, thank you.
	I would have never, only looking back on it, Can we go out on a high note?
	Well, I got a high note.
	We got the French protesting, stopping traffic, ruining it for everybody.
	Okay.
	That's a good story.
	Alright.
	You want to play that one?
	Yeah, play this.
	I want to get this out of the way because this is a clip that...
	It's not being covered in the United States because people don't like to talk about the French.
	They are irked because of the Dutch and the Germans and everybody else ruining their market for milk and butter and all these things that the French are known for.
	And more recently they've apparently blocked traffic coming in from all these countries.
	An agricultural crisis has hit France.
	Angry farmers say the low price of milk and meat mean they can barely cover their costs.
	Producers across France accuse supermarkets of keeping prices artificially low, while some farmers dumped manure outside shops and blockaded roads in protest.
	20,000 or 25,000 farmers are going to stop because of the prices and they know what's going on and they don't do anything for it.
	That's why we are here now because we want everyone to know that we are in big trouble with the government and with our industrial buy or production.
	Well, many blame ill-conceived EU policies for the farming crisis.
	Well, for instance, this year milk quotas were lifted after more than 30 years and milk companies haven't been shy about boosting production in response to that.
	Europe's largest producers, like Germany and Netherlands, have flooded the markets of other countries and that's brought down the prices in general.
	While it's good news for the consumers, of course, it's not so great for the farmers themselves.
	Political Alice, Pierre Schweitzer, says the interests of the French producers contradict a key principle of the EU. One of the principles of the European Union is free trade.
	If you want to buy somewhere else in the world or somewhere else in Europe, in the European Union, then you're allowed to.
	But then the French fruit producers will be protesting governments in the EU. I like the French.
	I like when they do this stuff.
	I like when they protest hard.
	Yeah, they dump manure.
	Not a little manure.
	I saw the pictures.
	Giant trailers of manure.
	I like it when they do that.
	And this is only going to get more fun to watch when the TPP passes.
	When this is all put in place.
	The French will not stand for this.
	No.
	Good for them.
	Everybody else would be like, ooh, whatever.
	Cheap milk.
	It's all good.
	I'm calling it, John.
	I'm calling this a show.
	Good.
	About time.
	Yep.
	Ew.
	Alrighty.
	So, I'm off.
	Be at the podcast movement.
	When was this, Friday night, Saturday?
	Friday night.
	Great.
	And it might be podcast.
	That would be interesting if it was.
	Yeah.
	Oh, that'd be great.
	There'll be a podcast at the event.
	They should podcast the podcast thing.
	I'm looking forward to it.
	And for everybody who said, can you do an interview?
	No, I just don't have time.
	Let's do an interview with everybody.
	Hey, I want to interview for my podcast.
	Oh, yeah.
	Anyway, John, thank you for your courage.
	Thank you for your courage.
	And I... We'll be working hard on making myself better.
	Or hardly working.
	Whatever comes first.
	Coming to you from FEMA Region 6 here in the capital of the drone star state.
	At the Crackpot Condo in downtown Austin.
	In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley where I say goodbye to July.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back on Sunday, right here, on No Agenda.
	Okay, you know what?
	Okay, you know what? you know what?
	OK, you know what?
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
