It's Sunday, August 23rd, 2015 time once again for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 750.
This is No Agenda.
From the Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes and all the states in between, a great Gitmo Nation broadcasting live from FEMA Region 6 in the capital of the Drone Star State.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where there's bears in the pool, I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill in the morning.
Oh, bears in the pool?
Yeah, Bears in the Pool.
What's with the Bears in the Pool?
Oh, you haven't seen that video?
No.
All the network news shows played it.
Oh, no.
What?
What did I miss?
Oh, it's great.
Well, I have a small snippet of it.
Uh-huh.
You can play.
It's called Bears in the Pool.
No, it can't be because you go from A to C. Uh-huh.
There's no Bears.
Oh, there are Bears in the Pool.
Okay, I gotcha.
...can really get unbearable.
What's a mother of five supposed to do?
There's bears in the pool!
But the two children who normally get to use this pool aren't exactly happy about it.
There's bears in the pool!
I wasn't going to start off with this particular clip that I have.
Um...
You know, Cecil the lion, this whole thing.
This played out over the past two months, correct?
Well, before you do that, can I explain a couple of things about bears in the pool since you're unfamiliar with this?
Sounds like there were some bears in the pool somewhere.
Yeah, well, yes, there were bears in the pool.
There were five of them.
How hard is that to understand?
I get it.
But it was in Jersey.
Oh.
Were there bears?
A lot of bears in Jersey?
Only those that drive motorcycles.
I did not realize this, but the Cecil Cecil the Lion thing appears, yes, how crazy is it, to have been a promotional push!
And I didn't realize it.
For dentistry?
For what?
For the new CBS series event this summer known as Zoo.
Oh, Zoo's already on.
Yeah.
Did you see Zoo at all?
I've tried to watch it a couple of times.
And on the highway, I know you're an adventure.
Listen.
I don't hear anything.
Exactly.
Where are the birds?
Where are the monkeys?
Have you ever heard of this quiet out here?
Fire off the dawns in the stars Extra predators killed for food.
But these people were just murdered.
Stay.
That's a good boy.
I love they put that in there. .
Born to be wild, you will be eaten by lions.
This summer, on CBS. They have a whole bunch of trailers.
But did the lions eat the people who were hunting them?
Yeah, this show came out before the Cecil incident.
Right, and it didn't go anywhere.
And it did not go anywhere.
No ratings.
It came out end of May, beginning of June.
Didn't go anywhere.
No ratings.
Unwatchable crap.
It's because it's a piece of crap.
Yeah.
Hence...
The whole premise of this show is that the lions, among other animals, but the lions are tired of being hunted for trophies and then they rebel.
And then they draft their friends, the dogs...
And turn them into wolves.
Well, dogs are big friends of lions in this show.
Yeah.
I can't help it.
I saw that one.
Oh, this makes nothing but sense.
Yeah, well, it doesn't make any sense to me.
It doesn't make any sense that show's even on.
But, you know, different things get green-lighted.
Hey, have you ever had the following happen to you?
And I should have looked this up.
I bet you there's a high death toll.
Of people tripping over a suitcase in a hotel room in the dark.
I don't know, but the death toll, really?
You think a death toll?
Somebody died?
Have you ever tripped over a suitcase in the dark?
Yeah, I have.
And it's one of the most painful, awkward things to happen.
Depends on how you catch it.
If you're wearing your shoes...
Well, not when I'm going to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
Well, you know, try to go before you go to bed.
That's my advice.
Write it down.
Wait a minute.
Write it down.
Write what down?
Go to the bathroom before you go to the bathroom.
Yeah, but sometimes I have to go in the middle of the night.
Don't you have to go in the middle of the night sometimes?
Rarely.
Huh.
Isn't that what men do when we get older?
Well, it hasn't happened to me yet.
I mean, it's not that I've never gone to the bathroom in the middle of the night, but it's pretty unusual.
Well, I almost killed myself in Chicago.
Falling over the suitcase.
On this trip?
Yeah, yeah.
It was not good.
So you're...
Okay.
I don't want to get into the details.
Yeah, you can.
You can get into the details.
Go ahead.
Ask your question.
Probably with someone.
Yes.
I was with Tina.
Okay.
And did you wake her up when you fell on your ass?
No.
Did you scream, ow, because you stubbed your foot?
It sounded more like this.
You went tumbling?
Yes, into the suitcase.
How did you go into the suitcase?
How big is this suitcase?
It's a 29-incher.
And it was open.
On the floor, you know.
So you had the suitcase open on the floor.
You don't have any place you can put the suitcase open.
Well, I don't want to place any blame as to who left the suitcase open.
Oh, now we get to the bottom of it.
She leaves the suitcase open because she overpacks like you probably.
No.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Not at all.
Not at all.
This is one of the first.
Oh, she's a keeper then.
She's a major.
We had almost half the suitcase left over.
That's good for you.
She's a keeper.
You're right.
She's a keeper.
No.
Any woman who's not an overpacker who doesn't bring, like, giant bottles.
No, because you can't do it.
TSA did a lot of people a favor by making the three-ounce limit, because otherwise, some women will just put in huge bottles of five or six bottles of shampoo.
No, I have more product than her.
I know.
Really?
Yeah.
Huh.
Yeah, minimalist.
Good.
Yeah.
So I was in Chicago.
For a couple days.
So you're...
Did you break your arm or anything?
Well, actually, I sprained my wrist very badly before we went on the trip, and I'm wearing a...
Doing what?
An unfortunate sexual incident.
Really?
Yeah.
Really?
And I twisted my wrist, and it was an audible crack.
Ow!
Yeah.
And, you know, when you turn your wrist, you know how on the right hand right there by your wrist, the bones kind of cross over each other?
Does that make any sense?
No.
Well, continue.
Yeah, and that hurts now.
A lot.
It's gotten better, but, yeah.
You should probably wrap it.
Yes, it's wrapped.
It's wrapped tightly.
It's wrapped tightly, yeah.
Anyway, I discovered something.
This was a very cool trip, John.
Tina's from Chicago.
Yeah.
So I went to meet her sisters.
How many sisters does she have?
Well, she has four sisters.
Three of them were there.
We had Lisa, Angie, Tony.
Let's see...
The two husbands.
So there's two husbands?
Three sisters?
Check it out.
Yes.
Lisa's husband, Rob.
No.
Tony's husband, Rob.
I gotta get it right.
Angie's husband, Tim.
Two of her friends, Carla, Teresa, and then Lisa's kid, Jonathan.
They're all from Chicago.
And normally when you meet people, you know, it's like I'm being interested.
They talk like they're from Chicago.
Hey, Adam.
Hey, Adam.
How you doing, Adam?
Hey, Adam.
Hey, Adam.
And, you know, typically when I meet people for the first time, you know, what are they going to ask me about?
Would you like some milk?
What would they typically ask me?
What kind of questions?
What would the line of questioning be?
Well, if they know who you are, it might be, so what have you been doing the last 20 years?
No.
Normally it's, you know, what was it like?
Meeting Michael Jackson.
You know, that kind of stuff.
You know what the questions were?
All about the show.
No.
They're all listeners.
Oh, so Tina punched them all in the mouth.
Big time.
Wow.
It's even worse.
She says they were making bets who was going to make a donation first and call the others out as douchebags.
Wow.
I couldn't believe it.
Fantastic.
Yeah, I could not believe it.
It was really great.
Can I remind members of the audience who want to donate to us in person?
Just a little etiquette thing.
Whatever your donation is, put it in an envelope and give us the envelope.
Yeah, with writing on the envelope so we know what's going on.
Yeah, so we have your name on if it's cash.
Curiously enough, no envelopes were handed to me.
But I did learn a number of things on this trip.
Have you ever done the architectural boat tour of Chicago?
No, but I hear it's fantastic.
It's outrageous.
If you're in Chicago, you must take this boat tour.
I had no idea.
I've been to Chicago lots of times.
Yeah, I used to live in Chicago when I was a kid.
Really?
Where did you live?
I lived right now in an area that's all Hispanic.
It's pretty close to the, pretty close in.
What is that?
Old Town.
Can you give me a little more help on that?
On North Avenue.
Oh, okay.
North Avenue area.
So we went to Millennial Park, which I call Millennium Park, but I guess that's wrong.
Did that tour.
Man, it's really nice.
There's one thing I noticed, though.
There's a new format for the homeless beggars.
And you know me.
When I'm walking down this...
Five bucks.
No, not if you're just begging for money.
If you're doing something, if you're tap dancing, if you're hitting drums with a stick, I'm good for you.
But the new format...
And it's always jarring when you see homeless people, although it is starting here in Austin as well.
You're talking about the cosplay?
What's cosplay?
Well, the guys dress up in like a Smurf opera.
No, no, no, no, no.
Or a big giant Mickey Mouse.
No, here's the new format, and I saw at least five people doing this.
They're sitting on the ground with their head between their knees, so their face is between their knees, holding up a sign against their knees that says, lost job, home, and family, am incredibly embarrassed.
Please help.
And I must have seen five different versions of this lost job, family, kids, dog.
I know exactly what this looks like because I've seen it in Europe.
I saw it in Spain.
I saw it in Barcelona.
Huh.
I've never seen this before.
But it's a format.
Three years ago.
But it's an obvious format.
Yeah.
And I don't like it.
I don't like it.
If you had a house and a job and a family and you lost them, you know, come on.
You can do better than that.
I'm just not buying it.
I'm sorry.
I'm not buying it.
Well, tips for the homeless.
I'm sure we have plenty of homeless listeners.
Tips for the homeless.
So it was a good time.
I had a really nice trip.
Definitely going to go back.
I could live in Chicago.
Did you go to the Billy Goat Tavern?
We did.
Had a cheeseburger upon your recommendation.
Just outstanding.
It's a cheeseburger.
They have nice buns, yeah.
Oh, hey everybody.
There he is.
Now, for the kicker.
And we flew southwest.
So...
Which has got to be...
That's the way to go.
Southwest.
Yeah, that's just a short jump.
Two hours and nine minutes.
Midway, you don't have to come in from that crappy airport.
Midway, exactly.
Two hours and nine minutes is perfect.
And Midway.
And believe me, anyone going to Chicago, if you can go to Midway, because O'Hare, it takes you two hours to get into Chicago.
O'Hare sucks, sucks, sucks.
All the time.
Midway is a great airport.
But actually, on the way over, I'd booked the tickets, and I had my pre-check, and Tina doesn't have pre-check.
And she said, well, why don't you just go through the pre-check line?
I'm not going to do that.
We're not slaves.
Come on.
We're both going through the pre-check line.
Watch this.
And so I held on the two tickets, her ticket behind mine, the two driver's licenses on top of mine, and I go to the TSA guy, and we're standing next to her.
Hey, how you doing?
Gee, is it too busy?
And I'm just trying to distract the guy.
Yeah, you're trying to buffalo him.
And it worked!
Oh, that's a shame.
It worked!
It's what are we paying these people for?
It worked and it sailed right through.
Now, on the way back, here's the kicker.
We're in the plane.
We're boarded.
Did you get back with the pre-check?
No.
As we're going through the pre-check line at Midway, this wasn't even a TSA woman.
It's one of those airport women who stand there and say, Show me a boarding person!
Your wife's not pre-check!
I said, Hold on a second.
Who are you?
You're not my wife.
Go away from me!
Didn't work.
Your wife's not pre-checked.
That's what they said.
Your wife's not pre-checked.
This is not my wife!
Where's my wife?
Wrong wife!
No, so we're on the plane, and we're sitting down, and you know how when someone you recognize, if you can see them out of the coronary eye, and you kind of have that instant recognition that's what humans are so good at in neural networking?
Unlike Google tagging photos or Facebook automatically, we're pretty good at it.
And I look, I see, oh my god, guess who was walking onto our Southwest flight to Austin?
Bob Pittman.
Nope.
I'll give you two more.
You need two more.
What?
Two more guesses.
It wasn't The Rock.
Close.
No.
Let me think.
Madonna.
No, Rick Perry.
Oh, cool.
Yeah.
I said, hey, Governor, how you doing?
And I had my wrist wrapped up, and he puts his hand on my shoulder.
How you healing, son?
I was flabbergasted.
I'm like, uh, coming along fine, Gov.
And then, as we're leaving the airport, because, you know, he was just there picking up his bag.
I don't know what happened, but I thought it was kind of cool.
He's just laid back, and people are looking at him, you know, whatever, and we're leaving.
Oh, he flew into Austin with you?
Yeah.
He's on the same flight.
Southwest?
Southwest, yeah.
Oh, man, how mighty have fallen.
Yeah.
And then, you know, as we're leaving, he's leaving, and I say, hey?
He says, hey man, have a good trip home, man!
He's like, oh, okay.
Manning me.
That's funny.
Yeah, I thought it was, I wonder what the backstory is.
Maybe he just always flies on, it's probably easier.
Well, there's the ease factor, and it's also, I guess he's not putting on airs.
No, definitely not.
A private jet.
Because I've been really super famous back in the day, and I think that I was probably so full of myself, but there's no way I would fly Southwest as a celebrity.
Well, there's between him and you.
I'm all in on Rick Perry now.
That's good, right?
Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool.
Yeah, I think that's great.
He didn't have an entourage?
Nothing.
Nothing.
Just by himself.
Just floating around.
Hey, Gov.
That was funny.
Yeah, I know.
I give them new props.
Anyway, so I picked up a local news story from Chicago that I wanted to share.
This falls under our cyber hacking heading.
The unintended consequences of technology.
I'll just play it.
Kathy, gas stations have always been popular targets for armed robbers.
Now savvy crooks don't need guns to make off with full tanks.
Instead, these gas jackers are armed with inside information.
Gas jackers!
And tonight, they aren't the only security threat at the pump.
The I-team has learned of a glitch that could expose those underground storage tanks to potential cyber attacks.
For something like this to happen is just crazy.
This surveillance video from a gas station on the north end of suburban Kankakee capturing the unusual hacking theft in action.
Last month on a busy weekday evening, cars start lining up at Pump 7.
But from inside the station, owners say this monitor shows no activity, no prepay, no credit card activated, no gas being pumped, or so it seemed.
I noticed that gas was being pumped, but nothing was indicating on the register.
So right away, my instinct kicked in that, okay, something's going on.
Kankakee police tell the I-Team this is an unusual heist in progress.
The thief, apparently from the Chicago area.
I believe this is him.
Investigators suspect he picked the lock on this terminal and entered a...
I love the pick the lock.
...fault security code, allowing him to put the pump into test mode, essentially pumping gas for free.
Police say his goal, cash.
Nice.
He was lining up people saying, hey, I'll fill up your car for 20 bucks.
And it's so simple.
Of course, the password is probably password123 on most of these things.
Something like that.
Yeah.
Test mode.
We're going to see so many of these examples.
Get a clue.
These technologies don't work.
Well, they work, but they do not work necessarily in your favor, or it depends on who you are.
I mean, yeah, something happens, but it's not what's supposed to happen.
No.
What they described is not supposed to happen.
No.
No.
Of course not.
But I think it's good.
We're going to see a lot of this type of jacking and hacking going on.
Jacking and hacking.
Gas jackers.
Jacking and hacking.
I'm jacking and hacking.
There's a joke there I won't go into.
That's all right.
So what else?
Well, I don't have much else.
Well, I want to thank everyone who said, oh, we should meet up.
I just didn't have time.
I'll come back to Chicago.
We'll do a meet-up.
Yeah, go to Chicago and actually set up a meet-up so you can get 10, 20 people.
Yeah, we'll do one.
We're going to do a proper meet-up.
We have enough people in the area.
Just Tina's friends and family is enough for a meet-up.
Yeah, you should do a meet-up.
This is just, like you said, a two-hour flight is like nothing.
Well, here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to take the Airstream up to Chicago.
Did you get it yet?
Tuesday.
Tuesday.
So you're going to get the Airstream on Tuesday, and then it's going to be in Chicago by the end of the week?
Yeah, no.
So where are you going to park this sucker?
Oh, the dealer will let me park it at the dealership for $50 a month.
That's reasonable.
That's very reasonable.
I mean, if you had a storage room, it would be 50 bucks a month, and you can use, and I believe you will, use the trailer as a storage room for all your crap.
Where am I going to put this crap?
Oh, I know.
I'll just throw it in the Airstream.
No, so Tuesday night, I'm going to do a test right away.
I'm going to drag the thing from the dealership.
I'm going to go to McKinney State Park and do an overnight.
Do you have a hitch?
Yeah.
Yeah, I have a hitch.
Hello?
Didn't I drag a trailer around the country before?
I don't know if you can do that.
I figured that whatever car you were using then, it's already blown up by now.
I still have Mustang Sally.
She probably still has 90 horsepower left in her.
It's a Mustang?
No, it's Mustang Sally.
It's a Dodge Ram.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, Dodge Ram.
That'll be fine.
Or whatever else I can find.
I'm very excited for the Little Pink Pill Tour.
Actually, we got a nice signage offer from producer Alex.
My brother and I started listening a few months ago.
Heard about your Airstream decal.
Would like to see if we could donate that.
We have a chain of laundromats.
LoveLaundry.com.
Just put that on the side.
Just give me a Love Laundry.
The Love Laundry Airstream.
I think that's better than Little Pink Pill Tour.
The Love Laundry Tour.
Woohoo!
Love laundry.
Love laundry and everything else.
We would love to have our dedicated sign makers make you perfect signage.
This is probably a decal sticker, vinyl.
I'm not sure what I need.
Well, you need something that says noagendashow.com and that should be a standalone.
It goes across the back.
Oh, yeah, just a stand.
Well, you know what I always like?
The bumper stickers Eric had, which was wake up in the morning.
Yeah.
Noagendashow.com.
I always liked that slogan.
That was a nice sticker.
In fact, my daughter Jay has it on her suitcase, and she has a clear one.
It looks dynamite.
Yeah, it's one of the better stickers and slogans, too.
Wake up in the morning.
I like it.
It has so much meaning.
But I think we should call it the...
What was the name of the company again?
Love.
The Love Laundry Tour.
What's the name?
Touring laundromats from coast to coast.
Hey man, can you do my underwear?
Anyway.
Is this like a roaming laundry?
Wow, that's cool!
And so I've looked at...
I want to tour the parks mainly.
We've got plenty.
Yes, we do.
And I looked at every...
The funny thing is there's different levels of parks.
The state parks, depending on the state, but most of the state parks are dynamite and they're pretty well equipped for trailers.
So state parks, then you have your national parks, which are stunners.
Yellowstone is the park I want to go to first.
Yeah, you'd enjoy it.
So here's what I've discovered.
I've looked at all of the options, satellite options.
You know what?
No way.
Satellite is not going to work for us.
But...
Verizon has such incredible coverage, and I'm a T-Mobile user for my regular stuff, but such an incredible reach.
You can buy these booster boxes.
Femtocells?
What are they called?
Femtocells?
I don't know.
Maybe that's what it is.
Well, you purchase it with a Yagi antenna.
Which gives you incredible gain, and it will do the LTE, and it can boost up to like 50 miles or something.
Why don't you get an OTA receiver while you're at it?
What's an OTA receiver?
Over the air.
It takes a regular signal.
You drive into...
That's what I'm talking about.
That's what you get.
Oh, but he says Verizon.
What's the point of that if you can just get OTA? No...
You mean for anyone, you mean?
What is OTA? I don't understand what you're saying.
Over the air.
It's just that, you know, old-fashioned television.
Yeah.
You have your UHF antenna.
John, this is for the show.
This is for internet connectivity.
Oh, for the show.
I thought you were talking about television.
Oh, yeah.
I need to watch a lot of television.
Oh, that's...
Well, see, it made no sense to me because if you're going to talk about satellite...
No.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I thought that would only be for television because you can't use that for anything.
No, no, no.
Internet.
No, internet.
Oh.
Internet, yeah.
Oh yeah, you're doing the right thing.
Yeah, and it should be at least enough to do prep for the show and watch C-SPAN. But if we're having issues, I can always just drag the thing down to some Wi-Fi closer by or whatever.
So I'm happy.
I'm very excited.
This is what you've always wanted me to do.
Yeah.
You should be very excited.
I'm thrilled.
He's great.
This guy's floating around.
The Love Laundry Tour.
Love Laundry Tour.
How about just I Heart Laundry?
And by the way, that would really confuse him.
What?
I guess the guy is some laundry mogul guy.
What is this guy doing?
He's a laundry mogul.
That's what you can tell.
Oh, man.
Yeah, it's going to be a great fall.
But I have to get moving on this.
I've got to do this in September.
I don't want to be stuck in snow and crap.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
You want to get out there and do meetups.
People would love to see you.
Yeah.
Are you going to show up at one of them?
Oh, absolutely.
Ah, yeah, sure.
Okay.
That'll happen.
That'll happen.
I'll be there.
You can count on it.
All right.
Good.
Is there anything other than this small chit-chat to discuss?
Yeah, I think we got some other things.
I got tons of stuff, really.
I have a lot of stuff.
Let's start with, since you're talking about Texas, you're talking about Rick Perry, let's talk about Ted Cruz.
Ted Cruz, okay.
So I have a double clip hit with Ted Cruz.
Double shot of Cruz.
So Cruz is, this is Cruz in 2015.
Would you support a change in the 14th Amendment, if necessary, to achieve that?
Absolutely.
We should end granting automatic birthright citizenship to the children of those who are here illegally.
Look, I would note that that has been my position from my very first days running for the Senate.
I was advocating for this back in 2011.
And so I welcome Donald Trump articulating this view.
It's a view I have long held.
Okay.
And, well, let's listen to him in 2011.
The 14th Amendment provides for birthright citizenship.
I've looked at the legal arguments against it, and I will tell you, as a Supreme Court litigator, those arguments are not very good.
Oh!
As much as someone may dislike the policy of birthright citizenship...
It's in the U.S. Constitution.
I think it's a mistake for conservatives to be focusing on trying to fight what the Constitution says on birthright citizenship.
Lies!
Lies, I tell you!
He's a liar!
I stole those two clips from MSNBC. We're out to get it.
Oh, okay.
Well, they're right, and this is...
For Cruz, who is a very successful, accomplished litigator, is he even a constitutional lawyer?
I guess he is.
Well...
What is it?
I mean, I've read many opinions about this 14th Amendment, about the anchor baby stuff, and to me it seems like...
So here's how it would work, and I know quite a bit about the immigration process, having done it twice...
The only way that would work is if your child then, when the child is 21, the child can say, hey, I want to be an American citizen, I can have an American passport, then they could go through the process of, but it's not sponsoring, petitioning for the parents and any other direct family members to become resident aliens.
Yeah.
So that's not really a super effective way of doing it.
No, well, from your experience, apparently not.
Oh, but the last time was just horrible.
Inexpensive.
Yeah.
I don't know.
If you believe that it creates the chain and gives some form of rights, yeah, only after the child is 21 and chooses the American citizenship.
And I think Christina actually has dual citizenship because of her mom.
Even though she was born in the U.S., had an American passport from almost day one, the U.S. had no problem letting her have dual citizenship because her mother's Dutch.
Yeah.
I can't.
It used to be illegal years and years ago.
When I was a kid, you couldn't be a dual citizen.
Me too.
They said, oh, Mr.
Curry, if you want to have dual citizenship, then you can just have the Dutch citizenship, and you clearly are doing this for tax reasons or some other bullcrap like that.
Right.
And so you would not be allowed back in.
Well, if you're going to be on that tip...
Let me see.
I have...
Well, since you mentioned Anchor Baby, I do have a couple clips I want to play.
Okay.
I want to play this one, which is the Anchor Baby 1 clip.
And I will explain why this clip was important to me.
Do we need to give a little context and background for some of our European listeners?
Does everyone understand what's going on with this?
I think it's kind of explained in here.
Anchor Baby is a term that Trump likes to use, but apparently...
So politically incorrect.
Well...
There's a couple of points I want to make after this clip.
You don't regret it?
No, do you have a better term?
I'm asking you.
You give me a better term and I'll use it.
That echoed Trump's language the day before.
You mean it's not politically correct and yet everybody uses it?
So you know what?
Give me a different term.
Give me a different term.
What else would you like to say?
Bush has a history with this phrase.
In 2013, he helped launch a group called the Hispanic Leadership Network and instructed Republicans to avoid language offensive to Latino voters.
Charlie had read in part, quote, don't use the term anchor baby.
Major Garrett in Washington.
Before you get into your deconstruction, John, I think I have a clip that adds value to this in between your two clips.
If you say so, but go on.
Yeah, play that because then it may actually...
Further emphasize my problem.
Well, this is ABC. This is the guy, and I think the clip actually starts off with a repeat of the ABC reporter, Tom Lamas.
You're going to ruin my point.
Okay, then go ahead.
I'll let you go.
All right, I heard this clip.
The first time I heard it, it was Major Garrett.
I know he's dogging Trump.
And I heard this clip to say that Trump had earlier denounced the term anchor baby.
Mm-hmm.
Ah, you said mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
I'm just saying mm-hmm.
That's not Woody's.
I'm just saying mm-hmm.
I've heard the same report.
I'm not saying I heard the same thing.
Well, this is the joke of it.
It's not Trump.
And when I first, when I heard this and I went and got my second clip, I'm thinking to myself, well, this is interesting because this contradicts the report that I just heard on ABC. Oh, I'm sorry.
Which one am I looking at here?
The second one is ABC, yeah.
Okay, this is...
What's the first one?
The first one was CBS. CBS, yeah.
So yeah, that's where Major Garrett works.
So I said, this is funny.
Major Garrett's full of crap because the CBS report clearly says something different, and you can play that.
This is the ABC report.
I'm sorry, the ABC. I got confused.
I'm sorry!
It don't make sense.
But both candidates today facing questions about why they use the term anchor babies to describe American born children of undocumented immigrants.
The implication?
Parents have the children to anchor themselves in the U.S. so they're not deported.
Are you aware that the term anchor baby, that's an offensive term.
People find that hurtful.
You mean it's not politically correct and yet everybody uses it?
Just two years ago, Bush chaired a Hispanic outreach group that sent a memo to Capitol Hill suggesting conservatives don't use the term anchor baby, but now he's defending it.
Anchor baby, is that not bombastic language?
No, it isn't.
Give me another word.
Hillary Clinton later offering up suggestions on Twitter, tweeting, how about babies, children, or American citizens?
She's clearly seizing the Republican battle, which if Donald Trump has his way, won't end anytime soon.
I think we came to the same conclusion.
Alright, well, we may or may not have come to the same conclusion, but when I went back to get the Major Garrett clip for the show today, it was clear that he said Bush, not Trump.
Right.
But the way they presented it, first they had a little Bush, then they went longer Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
And then he did a switch on me, and it put in my mind that it was Trump that's being contradictory.
Right.
But it's not.
Well, I'll play my clip, which has pieces of what we just heard in yours.
And to me, something else became very apparent, particularly because of the veracity of this ABC guy.
Now, we know ABC is corrupt.
We know they're all in with the White House.
We know they're certainly all in with the Clintons.
George Stepp of Hubonopoulos is all in with the Clintons.
He works for them, yes.
He's an operative.
Are you aware that the term anchor baby, that's an offensive term.
People find that hurtful.
You mean it's not politically correct and yet everybody uses it?
So that's the first...
It's a script, John.
Check it out.
Now both Trump and Bush are facing tough questions about the term anchor baby.
You are right.
Bush started, this guy asked Trump about it, and now all of a sudden they're both using the term, and here's the rest of the script.
used to describe American-born children of undocumented immigrants, implying parents have children to anchor themselves in the U.S. so they're not deported.
I don't, I don't regret it.
You don't regret it?
No, do you have a better term?
I'm not, I'm asking you.
You give me a better term.
Right, so there's the Bush version, and it's really about what Hillary did in return, which completes the whole script.
I'll use it, I'm serious.
Don't yell at me behind my ear, though.
But just two years ago, Bush co-chaired a Hispanic outreach group that sent a memo to Capitol Hill suggesting conservatives shouldn't use the term anchor baby.
Hillary Clinton later offering up suggestions on Twitter, tweeting, how about babies, children, or American citizens?
There you go.
It's just a script to give her some good fodder.
Give her something other than the negative stuff she's getting slammed with.
Exactly.
There's two other things.
One, they showed a copy on the one report.
The second one that I played, which was Anchor Baby...
Debate?
Yeah, the ABC one.
Yeah, they actually showed from that old Bush memo.
And it had all kinds of things.
Because you could read it on the screen.
It said...
Do not use illegal aliens.
Do not use illegal immigrants.
That's fantastic.
It had all this stuff in there.
I want to get a copy of that thing because it's just a joke.
I love it.
And then worse, which I don't have a clip from because it was a visual again, NBC, when they did this story, and they did it, and of course we're doing three networks for three weeks.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, three and three, everybody, yes.
When NBC did, they did a fly-in of supposedly the dictionary definition of anchor baby.
Oh, does it say it's a derogatory term?
Let me guess.
Worse.
Uh-huh.
I don't know what dictionary.
Wait, xenophobic, maybe?
No.
It wasn't that bad.
I don't know where this came from because it didn't say Merriam-Webster.
It didn't say anything.
I want to find out.
I took a photo.
We looked at it.
We looked at it and it said nothing derisive or derogatory.
This came up the following way.
Boom.
It said Anchor Baby and it was in Franklin Gothic and right under it in italics it said offensive.
I haven't found that.
I've never seen it.
And then when the beginning of the definition was a derogatory term meaning.
So this is bull crap.
I think they just made this up.
Yeah.
I think that's clear.
This is made up to give Hillary an opportunity to call anchor babies children or human beings.
It would have been funnier if she said human resources.
Then I would have believed her.
Trump did his big rally in Alabama.
And this is how cool this guy is.
He circled the stadium twice with the 757.
He did a flyby.
And then on C-SPAN, one of our producers caught this.
This is the C-SPAN coverage before he's in, and you see a shot of the stadium, and then you hear this.
Here we go!
Hold on, for some reason it's mono.
Let me...
It's only one channel.
Hold on a second.
Why is that?
That's strange.
While you're getting that straightened out, one of my favorite observations of one of the very extreme, well not extreme, just normal liberal left-wing blogs was gloating over, oh, CNN and MSNBC cut Trump's speech off after 20 minutes.
They gave him 20 minutes?
Yeah.
Hold on.
I think I have it now.
Let me just see.
MSNBC is giving more time to Trump than anyone.
Opening of the Trump tour.
Here we go.
Trump!
Ha ha ha ha Ha ha ha I love that!
That's funny.
Especially since Van Halen could use all the goodness they can get right now.
David Lee Rothman, I'm sorry, I like the guy, but he has no business singing anymore.
Anyway, so then we have this.
This is on Anderson Pooper 360.
Anderson Pooper 360.
He's talking to a Demetro operative Paul.
What's his name?
Baglia?
Baglia, yeah.
Oh, that guy's the worst.
Well, he said something pretty outrageous at the end of this little clip.
Paul, do you agree with that, that this is sort of appealing to what used to be called Reagan Democrat?
No. - Oh.
No.
He's appealing to angry white men, which we call them now Republicans.
I love that, by the way.
Angry white men, formerly known as angry white men, now known as Republicans.
My favorability is among GOP women.
God bless him.
And I think, look, I couldn't be happier.
This is the Trumpification of the Republican Party.
I'm always amused, and Amanda's not doing it because she's too smart, but I have Republican friends who look me in the eye with a straight face and say, well, Trump doesn't represent the Republicans.
Well, wait, he's the Republican candidate who's leading among Republicans in the Republican polls.
He is the Republican Party.
He defines it.
Now, I'm just curious, because I don't think he's going to make it all the way.
I don't think he's going to be the nominee.
As I've said, God is good to me, but not that good.
What's going to croak him?
Yeah, you know, this is funny because I knew I had this clip, but I never clipped it because I don't know, I lost it somewhere.
But yeah, what's going to croak him?
What's going to croak him?
Really?
Croak as in kill?
I guess.
What does it mean to you?
Yeah, what's going to croak him?
Well, I think what he means in the general sense is what's going to kill his candidacy.
But if you said that about anybody else, it would be an outrage.
Oh, if you said that about Hillary or anybody like that, people would be up in arms.
Nobody gave crap.
Of course, this guy's just another schmuck in the wind.
Now, I have to say I was very impressed for once by the Morning Joe's.
Joe Scarborough and Mika the Illuminati.
Mika Brzezinski.
Maybe her dad went something like, you must sound a little less partisan.
You have to put them down a little bit about Trump.
It's funny, him and Soros sound the same.
They are the same guy.
Have you ever seen him in a picture at the same time?
No.
No, that hasn't happened.
So the Huffington Post continues to only put Donald Trump news in the entertainment section.
Yeah.
And I find this is...
That's subjective.
I find this to be interesting and important.
The Huffington Post has influence.
There's no doubt.
It has influence.
But they have sworn, and I believe the Washington Post, maybe online, there's like some other guy from the Washington Post who's also on board with this.
But the Huffington Post, why does it have to be called Post anyway?
Where does this come from?
Post?
Yeah, Post.
Yeah, it's an old news name for a newspaper.
Okay, well, hello.
Hello, Huffington Post.
1720 calling.
We want our Post back.
What else are you going to call it?
So Mika took this douchebag kid.
I forget his name.
Who is all riled up.
He's totally jacked about how righteous he is.
And Trump is just a distraction.
And she actually does something really cool at the end.
And she calls him out with several examples as to how they're full of shit.
We need to talk about this.
Let's do it.
Because I think you guys have made a mistake.
Yeah, so, I mean, nobody can deny that Donald Trump is partly where he is in the polls because of the media coverage.
Do you hear this guy?
Already I hate him.
And this is the political editor, I think, of the Huffington Post.
And our big statement is that...
Our big statement, because, you know, we're the media.
We have a big statement.
We have a statement.
Look at our statement.
Trump is not a serious candidate.
He's an entertainer.
But you can't do that.
You, along with the Huffington Post, Washington bureau chief, is Ryan Grimm.
You wrote this month, or last month, explaining your decision not to cover the campaign of Donald Trump as part of your political coverage.
And that's what you said.
You said, Trump's campaign is a sideshow.
We won't take the bait.
If you're interested in what Donald has to say, you'll find it next to our stories on the Kardashians and the Bachelorette.
Is it okay for a news organization reporting news, reporting on facts?
Is it okay for them to make big statements like this, John?
Is that okay?
Yeah.
It is?
Yeah, they can do whatever they want.
Is that journalism?
Is it journalistic?
I think it's ethically sketchy, and I think people, they can be condemned for it, but it's not that they can't do it.
Here's the right.
Mika Wolfe, explain.
Except, Danny, he's in first place by a mile in Iowa and New Hampshire and South Carolina.
Republican establishment members are now starting to say this guy may be the nominee.
Yeah, and Bernie Sanders may or may not be in first place in New Hampshire, but Mika has to go to C-SPAN to watch coverage of him.
Because of Donald Trump's celebrity, he's getting this perpetuating, nonstop, wall-to-wall coverage that's no different, honestly, than when CNN went wall-to-wall on Malaysia.
He says it's no different than when CNN went wall-to-wall on the Malaysia airline crash.
How about when CNN and the rest of them went wall-to-wall on Obama?
Thank you.
But hold on.
Following that logic, let's say there was like a former comedian and performer for Saturday Night Live who never held political office who was running for the Senate.
HuffPost would cover that as entertainment, right?
Sure.
How about Al Franken?
Whoops.
He says, sure.
How about Al Franken?
Senate run.
How about Ronald Reagan?
On politics in 2008.
I mean, you can't...
It is...
I'm sorry.
You know, how about an A-list Hollywood actress who had never went for office who was considering a Senate campaign?
You've covered that.
Not in your entertainment pages, right?
How about Ashley Judd on HuffPost Politics in 2014?
Well, she's a woman and a Democrat.
And how about a businessman and pizza mogul who had the 999 plan, who's never run for president and was known for some great quotes that surely would be entertainment, right?
Right?
Right?
And this guy is a douche knuckle.
He walked off that set like a year ago.
This shows you what's wrong with your press.
And I think Huffington Post now qualifies as mainstream media.
All they seem to do is copy mainstream media.
Oh no, they've always, but they steal a lot of stuff too.
It's not really, I don't know how people can quote it or point to it or anything.
It's just a joke.
Yeah.
Well, you think that's the only joke?
And I think this really proves it.
These guys, you know, they're trying to be kingmakers or something.
I have no idea what they're thinking.
Well, it is...
Let me see.
I think...
Well, here's another one of those douches.
This is Jeremy Peters.
I think this is the kid who initially reported on the Hillary emails in a very, very sly kind of way.
We deconstructed all that.
How we believe that he jumped in to help distract...
From the Clinton Foundation and had some wishy-washy stuff about the emails, but it really turned out to be a good distraction because no one's really talking about that anymore, about the hundreds of millions of dollars coming into the Clinton Foundation.
And he was on...
It worked.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe...
So his name is Jeremy Peters, New York Times.
And now they're hounding him about the New York Times, as far as I can tell, not actually reporting that what she did is illegal.
What she did is illegal.
And listen to this guy who's just, you know, he's just not going to condemn his favorite person.
She did not do it properly.
There was an impermissible use.
Right, and there were questions from the very beginning about whether or not this was...
I'm just asking you, the federal judge, you see he says it's impermissible.
Impermissible?
But, okay, fine.
He says that, sure.
I'm not arguing whether or not it was permissible or impermissible.
All I'm trying to figure out is...
What Donnie was saying, which is, okay, how does this affect her politically?
It seems like it would hurt you to say that, yes, the federal judge who works day in and day out, who follows the law and reads the law, and it's his job to interpret the law, says that he impermissibly used email.
And I'm just trying to figure out, is this like fines and saying that he's wrong?
Can you not just say, because you're saying, well, I don't know.
It's a question of how it affects the populace.
I mean, it's just obvious.
No, no, no.
I'm a reporter for the New York Times.
Don't challenge the New York Times.
Don't challenge the Washington Post.
That's Donnie Deutsch.
You want me to indict and damn Hillary Clinton?
No!
I'm not going to indict Hillary Clinton.
New York Times, ladies and gentlemen.
Yeah, why bother?
Why bother?
Why bother at all?
It's obviously looking for a job when she has her, you know, hopefully she gets president and then he gets a job as a press secretary.
A spokeshole, exactly.
I had this happen to me when I was writing op-eds at the Chronicle.
I had a guy who was the editor for a very short time.
Do you want to out him?
I can't remember his name.
It was 20 years ago, 30 years ago.
I do remember him hating my material because I was actually writing slightly conservative.
He's a Republican.
And he ended up being, went to work for Feinstein.
Oh, of course.
Went right from the newspaper right to Feinstein.
Of course.
But I have Sean Hannity, who's the opposite of this character from the New York Times you just cited.
And he's citing the, he cites the three laws that she may or may not have violated, probably has.
And then there's a little, she, then Guilfoyle, who used to be a prosecutor.
I thought you were going to say prostitute.
Prosecutor, yeah.
Prosecutor.
Prosecutor.
Yes, she throws her two cents.
And I think it was a very good little the Sean Kim Hillary emails clip.
1824, you've got 18 U.S.C., 2071.
Let me stay on that third one for just a second here.
Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, I think?
What's interesting about that is you add a whole other element to those three laws, which is if she consciously erased them and the FBI retrieves them, that is now obstruction of justice.
Correct.
What does the law say?
So she's looking at penalties and fines there.
That's when people say, oh, they're not going to get her.
You'd be surprised.
And then what's going to happen?
And if they're going to try and turn someone within their inner circle, and there's people that are vulnerable, they're also looking at potential criminal liability for any kind of part they might have played with obstruction of justice or deletion of emails or of this property.
And that's Uma Abedin and Cheryl Mills as well.
So you can be certain.
And if it's Clinton style, they'll look for someone to take the fall.
Yeah, you nailed it, John.
And you nailed this on Thursday as well.
And I went looking and searching for more condemnation of the aides And I have two quickies here.
This is just using that word first, the aides, oh, the aides could be doing, oh, aides.
On the other side, the Democrats, you've got Bernie Sanders filling stadiums as well, 28,000 people are expecting.
And the email controversy, where is it now?
Getting worse by the day for Hillary Clinton, and as much for her as for the aides, some of the aides around her at the State Department.
The FBI investigation is getting more serious every single day.
More serious.
There's more signs that there were emails that were classified, either marked classified or should have been marked classified, that were sent to her.
Nobody's saying she sent them yet, but that were sent to her and ended up on that home server of hers.
That's against the law.
And so the FBI, now they're not just investigating the server itself, but how these messages got to her.
Did her aides paraphrase top secret things and send those things to her server?
Again, it's everything about this.
The way they've handled it this week, clumsy, defensive, evasive.
And the actual seriousness of the investigation gets a little bit more serious every single day and more worrying for her politically.
A little more serious every day, worrying politically.
That is CBS, who are all in to get her.
I would agree, by the way, again, three networks, three weeks.
Three times three, everybody.
CBS is using the bad photos.
Of Trump, as portrayed in the newsletter.
Innuendo and a bunch of stuff.
They are definitely not on Hillary's side.
And they are now giving a choice of which aid we're going to throw under the proverbial autobus.
So those two emails are giving us an idea of the kind of information that was being exchanged on her private server.
Both of them were uncovered in the ongoing congressional investigation into the attack in Benghazi, Libya.
And intelligence officials say they contained classified information.
The first email, from April 2011, was forwarded to Clinton by aide Huma Abedin.
It cited intelligence reports from the U.S.-Africa Command on Libyan troop strength and movements.
The second, forwarded by aide Jacob Sullivan, outlined reports of possible arrests in connection with the Benghazi attack.
The concern in the intelligence community is that classified emails on a private server could be more easily hacked or compromised.
So, they do two things here.
One is they give a clear choice.
But did you catch, and I'm not sure why, but the way they said it, the way the lady read the script was two emails.
One sent by A. Huma Abedin, the other sent by A. Jacob Sullivan.
I actually thought that his name was A. Jacob Sullivan.
But for some reason they decided to present them.
That's interesting.
It's almost like they're...
Now you have to play it again.
But you know what I'm saying, right?
You should tell me this in advance.
I'm sorry.
Forwarded to Clinton by aide Huma Abedin.
It cited intelligence reports from the U.S.-Africa Command on Libyan troop strength and movements.
The second, forwarded by aide Jacob Sullivan...
Is she saying aid?
Yeah, both of them.
Oh, okay.
So they're emphasizing the word aid.
Okay, well that's actually even better when you think about it.
Yeah, they're setting somebody up.
And there was that third one, Mills.
Oh, who's Mills?
That was the one in the other report when Guilfoyle went on about who's susceptible to being...
Well, guess who it's not going to be.
Yeah.
It's not going to be girlfriend Uma Abedin.
She's not.
I wouldn't think so.
So it's going to either be Mills, Cheryl, I think is a woman, or this guy.
It'll be the guy.
Well, that's Joseph...
Jacob Sullivan.
Yeah.
They're going to throw anyone under the bus.
It's going to be a man.
And I think I looked at his...
He has a wiki page.
Hold on a second.
He does.
Yeah.
And...
I think he's very dispensable.
If I had a wiki page, I'd have a lawyer.
Well, he's going to have an obituary.
Let's see.
He's born in 1976.
American policymaker and top foreign policy advisor to Hillary Clinton's 2016 election campaign.
What do you see?
He's a senior advisor to the U.S. government for the Iran nuclear negotiations.
Hmm.
So they'll take him out with that.
Bad deal.
Interesting.
This guy, he's a high...
Listen to this.
Prior to teaching at Yale, he's a Yalie, so you know what that means.
Yeah.
Illuminati.
Sullivan was deputy assistant to the U.S. President Barack Obama, national security advisor to Joe Biden as VP, also served as the director of policy planning at the U.S. Department of State and as deputy chief of staff to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary.
So he served when she was secretary of state.
I think this guy is the...
He's toast.
I think he might be right, because especially if he was chief of staff.
Was he chief of staff?
No, I don't think he was chief of staff.
What was he doing for her when she was secretary of state?
You said something.
Hold on.
That's right at the end.
Director of policy planning.
Oh, and as deputy chief of staff.
Okay, well, that's...
There's a plus.
Who was chief of staff, I wonder?
Pfft.
Because that's another guy they could go after, or woman.
Let's see, Chief of Staff, Clinton Secretary.
That's the person I try to flip.
Why would it have to be Cheryl Mills?
There you go!
Real-time!
Real-time analysis, everybody.
Doesn't get much better than that, does it?
How hard can it be?
How hard can it be?
Well, and then finally CBS is...
Yeah, well, those are the two targets who are going to get out of this show.
So it's going to be between Cheryl Mills and Jacob Sullivan.
They'll be pointing fingers at each other.
And you think Cheryl will be the one to go?
Because she's a woman?
No, I think it'll be the guy.
They're going to get rid of the man.
You know, she's a loyalist to women.
Right.
Of course.
I mean, let's get real.
And then this from CBS... Time reports on a growing effort to let Jon Stewart host a presidential debate.
His fans launched a petition shortly after Stewart left The Daily Show.
They want the Commission on Presidential Debates to consider letting Stewart moderate a debate.
The petition has more than 140,000 signatures.
1,000?
140,000?
So really...
I've known Jon Stewart a long time, but he's very good at written pre-scripted gags.
They'd really have to script quite a lot for him to do a good job.
And, you know, as a television personality, being a debate moderator is not the same as being the news debunker and cracking jokes.
It's just not the same.
However, for the show known as the presidential elections, it makes a lot of sense.
I mean, it's a ratings bonanza.
They could save him for that if they're going to use him at all.
But in the meantime, he's not getting on because everybody is scrambling.
Everyone wants to do this because it's good for their, you know, you work at CNN and you're going to bring somebody in from the outside when I can do it.
Yeah.
Oh, they'll be angry.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's just going to create nothing but ill will in the company.
Final...
Well, I have two, actually.
But this is...
So, Trump says he fired his policy advisor, Roger Stone.
That was a while ago?
Yeah, a couple weeks back.
And Stone has been on just about every channel.
You've probably seen him on your 3x3.
And he, I think...
I have a feeling that he is just a Trump operative, a spy.
I think so, too.
Yeah, all he does is go, how great Trump is.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, we don't know why Joe Biden met with Elizabeth Warren, but a lot of people were pushing her to run for president.
Do you think it looks more likely that he's going to jump in?
Well, my Democratic friends reflected an increasing lack of ease with Hillary Clinton's candidacy.
Her unfavorables are climbing.
She's mired in this email scandal.
She's on defense.
She's explaining.
And when you're explaining in politics, you're losing.
On the other hand, Vice President Biden, I think, appeals to the same kind of establishment Democrats that Hillary Clinton does.
And the weakness of Hillary Clinton appears to be to her left.
This is why Bernie Sanders is doing so well.
This, I think, explains why the Vice President is meeting with Elizabeth Warren.
Elizabeth Warren, on paper at least, is the ideal candidate to knock off both.
She would co-op Sanders, and she could very easily beat Hillary Clinton.
So you're talking about a potential Biden-Warren candidate.
Well, before I decided what I wanted to do, if I were Joe Biden, I want to know what's on Elizabeth Warren's mind, because she is potentially a stronger candidate than the sitting vice president.
Look, Joe Biden has been an effective vice president, but as a presidential candidate, he dropped out of the last caucuses after getting 1%.
So this Stone guy seems like he's just an operative.
Somebody asked Trump the question, you know, ever since you fired Stone, he's been doing nothing but singing your praises.
And that's on CNN. And Trump's response was, I should have fired him sooner.
Wow.
We need that clip.
That makes sense.
Hey, man, listen, I'm going to fire you, and then you're going to go and shill for me.
Yeah, we'll just give you a paycheck later or during, if you wanted to, you know, whenever.
So here's McLaughlin Group predictions.
Oh, no.
McLaughlin Group, which, of course, is the most scripted show ever.
Pat?
The odds have moved to about 50-50, John, that Hillary Rodham Clinton will not be the Democratic nominee.
Hillary Clinton is still the odds-on favorite to be the nominee.
It's very hard for anybody else to get in the race.
But I really want to salute the two women who got through the ranger school.
Big moment for women.
What?
Big moment for women.
I think the biggest moment for women in the last couple weeks has been the play-by-play announcer for the Oakland Raiders is a woman now.
And she's good.
I would not have known anything about this.
Of course not.
Final piece.
This is something Politico...
I did a test.
Now, I haven't looked into all of their methodology, but they did a test.
I think they also had a control group with a couple groups, and based on the result rankings of a Google search...
Which they emulated by using real search results and real websites that these links led to.
They state that just by rearranging the order of answers of political questions in Google, which Google wouldn't even have to do.
I mean, SEO can take care of that to some degree.
That the vote can swing as much as 25%.
Yeah, I saw this too.
What do you think?
I think it's true.
I think it's true, yeah.
I think Google could rig the election.
But you can also rig Google.
It doesn't just have to be.
I mean, how many Google people are working at the White House right now?
Lots.
In the State Department.
The Pentagon's got something like 10,000 public relations people.
Including the chief technology officer of these United States is a Google woman.
She's a Googler.
A Googler.
That is another huge unintended consequence of technology.
We know SEO people who can do amazing things.
Only the ones that are full-time can do amazing things because it's such a moving target.
Google keeps changing its algorithms ever so subtly.
But still...
I mean, we try to do SEO with our titles, you know.
I don't think we've ever come up and...
We don't do any SEO. Yeah, we do.
We think about it.
We come up with a title and pray.
It's the spray and pray methodology.
No, no, no, no.
We don't do any SEO. But...
With that, I will thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C, where the C stands for the Chicago Kid, Dvorak.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
Also in the morning to all the ships at 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 everybody in the chat room, noagendastream.com.
In the morning to Void Zero, false alarm on a lung collapse.
He seems to be okay.
He's back.
Back on the stick, making sure the stream is working just perfectly.
In the morning to our artists.
Thank you very much to our artist who provided the artwork for episode 749er.
And that, of course, was the big jump episode.
And the artwork was for the original Sin.
It was just a beautiful piece.
Sin with a copyright, a little copyright thing over it.
Yeah, it was just simple but worked.
It was nice.
It looked good.
It looked good when you posted it.
It looked very good.
Yeah, it looked very good.
It just had a, like, wow, that's slick.
And it has multiple meanings.
Yeah, exactly.
NoahGenerator.com, which, thank you, Sir Paul.
He's fixed the sign-up, so that's working now.
And if you're a new artist, we welcome you, as we always choose our art from our producers, our artistes.
And they're also used for newsletters and other, and decals.
They're used for decals on the Love Laundry Tour.
I Heart Laundry Tour.
I think I Heart Laundry Tour is funny.
Yeah, just heart.
I Heart Laundry.
And we had some pictures with a string.
You got the rope with the laundry hanging off of it.
A trompe l'oeil.
You know a trompe l'oeil?
Yeah.
Yeah, so it looks like there's real laundry hanging on the side.
Yeah, maybe not.
We'll work on it.
Yeah, it's probably beneath you.
Hey, I had a funny situation this show.
Really funny?
Am I going to laugh hilariously?
It's funny, funny, funny, funny.
So we had three...
Eric put it in the note.
He says, two people have donated twice for this show, and both becoming executive producers in the process, and that would be Paolo Tosiani in Twickenham and Sir Otaku in Louisville, Texas.
But the joke of it was, two checks...
From Craig, is it Covell?
Yeah, Covell.
Covell, yeah.
Covell, yeah.
From Auburn, Pennsylvania.
I just added them together and made it 246.
Now, I'm going to ask you, how often have we had three double donors?
I don't think we've had it at all, ever.
I don't think so either.
Three double donors.
It's a three double donor show.
It's a three double donor show.
Three, the magic number, and proof of the random number theory.
That's right.
Three double donors, everybody.
This is why when a celebrity dies, everybody knows two more are going to drop.
There's a whole 30 rock about this.
Well, we know it to be true.
We don't qualify it any other way.
Well, there you have it.
Chris Eisbach in Cheshire, Connecticut is our top executive producer, and he came in at $375, Cheshire, Connecticut.
Just wanted to send this donation on your 3-4 Millennial Show to thank you for your help in keeping us all sane.
I was listening to show 748's discussion of MacRib's native advertising, and it reminded me of MacD's latest atrocity.
They now serve lobster rolls here in New England.
God.
They have mac and cheese-ified lobster.
Yeah, this is a gourmet dish.
The True Lux here in Austin does it as well.
I find it abhorrent.
You can't beat a regular lobster.
A real one.
A lobster tail just dipped in butter.
They will do anything to make us slaves feel like we are living it up while they're taking us down.
Includes no actual lobster meat.
Is that right?
Yeah.
It's usually crab.
McDonald's lobster, mac and cheese lobster has no lobster in it.
Oh, I don't know that for a fact, but typically it's crab.
Or that pollock fish that they make until fake.
That tilapia.
No, Pollock.
Pollock?
You know, when you go buy fake crab meat and fake lobster.
Oh, yes.
There's no crab meat in the crab meat that is fake meat for crab meat for the lobster meat.
Exactly.
We're eating shit.
We're not eating it.
No.
Anyway, he says, please give me some karma.
Well, let's go back.
The politicians these days are destructive, but at least the politics are entertaining.
Please give me some karma along with a Hillary.
At what difference, at this point, what difference does it make?
And a little girl, yay.
What difference, at this point, does it make?
Yay!
You've got karma.
Mm-hmm.
Thank you very much, Chris.
So Chris is our sole executive producer.
When we go into associate executive producer starting with...
Well, no, I take it back.
Surotaku, his $100 plus his $234 adds to $330.
So he's an executive producer.
He says, John and Adam, I'm shocked, shocked to hear that producers are making demands for donations.
I'll tell you, I'm just shocked.
Here's a little something to keep you with my $100.
Do you want to explain what that is?
I wrote a newsletter because some guy, and it just hit me the wrong way because I noticed this over the years that we've been getting these sorts of things.
It used to be worse, actually.
This guy comes in, he says, if you play this clip on the air and then don't laugh, I'll give you $100.
And so I thought that was just like too much of a demand.
And I actually watched a little bit.
It was unwatchable.
It didn't have the right kind of content for the show.
I said, we're not doing it.
Keep your $100.
But then I started thinking about it.
I've noticed this before.
Other people make demands.
In the early days, we had some joker who I'm sure is not listening because he probably gave up on the show because he was an a-hole.
And he said, if you guys stop begging for money, I'll donate.
Yeah, I'll thank you.
That's how it works.
Yeah, that's how it works.
How stupid do you think we are?
He copied us both on that email, and I had the same response, but you actually replied quite nicely, saying, you know what, keep your $100.
We don't want to do that.
Well, it was, yeah, for different reasons.
And one, they didn't fit in the show.
So I decided to make it a theme of the newsletter, I said.
And I put $100 make good donations to anyone who wanted.
And we got a dozen or two people that came in with $100 to make up for the lost $100.
It turned out to be $50 because he came back with another note.
We went back and forth and saying, I'll give you $50 just for anything.
Although I haven't seen it.
I could be wrong.
Sir...
Wait, wait, he wanted something here.
Okay, read his note.
Yeah, he says, shocked, shocked, shocked.
He wants a...
I want a jingle, but ever since I set the Obama mariachi jingle as my ringtone and the LGY for my message notification.
That's pretty...
That sounds good.
Yeah.
I feel I've got a little piece of the show with me always.
The great analysis.
Well, I keep propagating the formula to everyone I come across in the DFW area.
K5VZ. Hey, Kilo 5, Victor Zulu, a 7-3 from the Kilo Fox 5 Sugar Lima November.
And that is an older call sign, which means he's been around.
Doesn't mean...
It's a vanity call sign.
It's not an older call sign.
I don't know.
It's a one by two.
You can get...
If you are a general...
I know you can.
Leo's got one that says Twitter or something.
Yeah.
But it doesn't mean it's an older call sign just because it's a short one.
Did you actually take the test?
Yeah.
Okay.
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, no, no, no, no, no.
Hey, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No.
No.
Come on.
Yay!
You've got karma.
Yeah, I might have to report you to the SEC.
Yeah, go ahead.
Go ahead.
Go ahead, stoolie.
I wanted to report you for, you know, you didn't even identify yourself in that segment.
Linton Harry in, was it Tiwi, North Territory, Australia?
Northern Territory, $300.
I could not find any note from him.
I'll look.
I looked, I looked, I looked, I looked.
I couldn't find anything.
I tried his, and his email is a little different.
I tried that, nothing.
So Linton, or Harry, if you've got something to say, let us know.
$300 for him.
It makes him an executive producer.
Then associate executive producer Justin Lee in Clinton, North Carolina.
Again, no note.
Completely impossible to find.
And Sir Craig Cowell, who sends checks in through one of the banks in Auburn, Pennsylvania.
Also, no note.
$246.66 from him.
There's two checks combined.
Lynn Sutton in Step Aside.
Really?
Is that the name of the town?
Step Aside?
Step Aside!
Step aside Dublin, Ireland.
Or it's, I guess, a district or something.
23456.
Donation from Lynn Sutton using my husband's PayPal account.
Dear John and Adam, my husband, Baz Sutton, hit me in the mouth at the start of this year and I have been listening with an interest ever since.
I would like my donation to go towards his knighthood.
Having listened to your show, I have...
That's love, man.
I have one overwhelming observation I wanted to share.
You often speak about the man overboard syndrome that affects some listeners as they bitch about you being too negative.
Man overboard!
I want to share with you a noob perception on this.
Before I started listening to your show, life was easy.
No agenda show, ruining lives for eight years.
I listened to the news.
In fact, I worked for a talk-based news radio station, and I was very content on believing what I heard to be true.
When I started to listen to your show, I was amazed at what I was hearing on the news.
The so-called truth versus your deconstruction of the stories to show the anomalies of what is being reported against what's really happening.
Having this knowledge is actually very difficult as you listen to your friends, family, colleagues, etc.
Believing the mainstream without questioning anything.
Ruining friendships and families for eight years in a row.
While I haven't listened to you guys, know that there was more to the story than they have been told.
This means you face three options.
One, rolling your eyes at their ignorance.
Two, being the crackpot that rants like a lunatic about how they know nothing.
And three, more likely, shutting the hell up.
Option three is the easiest option, as it avoids getting into an argument, that leads to either one, rolling your eyes, or two, being a crackpot.
So what am I saying is having this much knowledge can actually be taxing when compared to believing the mainstream.
So I would like to thank you for your courage and say keep up the good work.
But I would also like to say to John, read your damn tweets.
I highlighted the mac and cheese button weeks ago.
Can I please have an I love bugs, amen fist bump, the magical shape-shifting Jews, and a general karma for everyone?
Well, Lynn, I'm curious, what do you think Lynn does?
Does she just roll her eyes in their ignorance, or does she go for option three, where she just shuts up?
I believe by reading this note, by deconstructing this note itself, she's slightly argumentative.
She does none of those three.
She actually chimes in at the right moment with a little jab, a little A little, yeah, a little knife point, a little needle point there.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's good.
Well, that's very kind of you, Lynn, particularly that you're doing this for your husband.
That is true love.
I heart laundry.
I love bugs!
Bugs, bugs, bugs!
Amen.
Tastes like poo.
When I see bugs, I want to stomp on them, I want to swap them, I want to raid them.
Bomb them, bomb them, and bomb them again!
Come on, everybody!
Roll on, roll on with the shape-shifting juice!
Step right this way!
Here we go!
Roll on!
Roll on with the shape-shifting juice!
You've got karma.
Karma.
Nice.
Not a commercial outfit in the world that would let us play that song.
No, I'm pretty sure you're right.
Onward to Paolo...
Tosiani, I guess, in Twickenham, UK. $211 total of two donations.
$111 donation so John can go on Twitter and buy some shoes for Mimi.
Which you can buy on Twitter.
I did not know that.
Yes, they advertise for shoes.
They do?
We played a clip where someone mentioned that.
Oh, that's right.
Okay.
Thank you for all the hours of entertainment.
I've been able to experience one of the best feelings in the world.
Talk with a stranger in a pub about the Trump and make the Donald, but the Trump is funnier.
And make them change their minds.
This is in the UK. From denials, denial, I guess, denialists to supporters in less than 10 minutes.
Huh.
He's got some information about Venezuela for us in an email.
I haven't seen it.
Oh, yeah, I have seen it.
It's large.
He's probably lived there or something, I'm guessing, because there's a lot of Italians in South America.
Yep.
And that concludes our little group of producers and executive producers for show 750.
I want to remind people we do have a show coming up on Thursday, 751.
And go to Dvorak.org slash NA and find some plan there or some way to help us out.
We'd appreciate it.
Also, I don't know if you were copied on it, but I have now received a second No Agenda Morning Zoo compilation.
Oh.
Like the No Agenda funny stuff?
Yeah.
Oh, another whole show?
Yes, a whole other show.
This covers a couple of holidays coming up.
I am so appreciative.
We have to do the intros and outros.
We'll do that.
We'll do that.
And actually, what I'll do is...
We should tease them.
Tease them.
Why don't you tell people what these are?
Well, these are...
And they're put together by...
I'm sorry.
I, of course, forgot who did it for us.
We'll find...
Oh, that's important.
Let me just...
Morning Zoo.
While you're doing that, I'll explain something.
This fellow that Adams...
Sir Cyber.
Sir Cyber.
Sir Cyber has put together an entire show of outtakes.
An hour and a half.
Hour and a half of little tidbits and gimmicks and bits that we've done over the show, over the years.
And so I get the original.
I haven't seen the second one.
I get the original.
I say, oh, this is...
This is gonna suck.
You know, because it's always, you know, just dumb stuff.
And it's not really the kind of stuff we...
Well, it's our comedy bits.
It's our comedy stylings.
It's a little bitty comedy.
And I have to say, I started listening, figuring I was going to listen to five minutes, maybe.
I'm in about minute 11, and now I'm actually, to my own material, this is pathetic.
I'm laughing out loud.
That's your own jokes.
This guy has really put together an astonishing compilation of just The funny stuff that we do on this show, and it makes me realize that people always compliment us for being humorous.
We are funny.
It's funny stuff.
I mean, I've been laughing at myself.
We will definitely be using these in the future, and I will do a little teaser, and I'll play the first minute or so of the second morning zoo bit from that entire show as one of the close of show segments.
Okay.
That'd be nice.
And, well, we thank these executive producers and associate executive producers profusely.
This is how our system works.
We don't take any advertising.
You can't bribe us for anything.
Any product reviews we do is because we like the product or don't like the product.
And these credits are real, just like Hollywood does them.
You've got opening credits.
You see your executive producers, associate executive producers, just like Hollywood.
Except, unlike the phonies in Hollywood, we'll gladly vouch for you if anyone questions why you put this on your LinkedIn page, which seems to help people get work.
I'm just saying.
And of course, we always need your help to go out there and do the very important work of propagating our formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Water.
Order.
Shut up, Slade.
Shut up, Slade!
Hold on, I gotta fix this thing.
What's going on?
I have an ad I want to play.
It's only a short shorty.
Are you getting paid?
I wish.
It grossed me out, and this is a show on Fox called Outnumbered.
What is the show about?
Okay, Outnumbered is a show where there's five women, chatterboxes, but it's not like The View or The Real or all these other ones where the women are dingbats.
They're actually, they at least present themselves as thoughtful.
Mm-hmm.
So there's these four thoughtful women on there, and then they bring a man in.
Oh.
And you get it outnumbered.
Oh, what?
This is a complete war on men thing.
It's kind of.
But that's not what the point of this particular thing I'm discussing is about, which is you always know who is watching a show.
By the ads.
By the advertising, of course.
And I have never seen an ad like this in my life.
I have never heard of an ad, this being an ad-worthy product.
And I was grossed out.
Now everyone who uses catheters can get a better catheter.
With Liberator Medical's free catheter sample pack.
There's the all-new compact catheter for women, the closed system catheter, the polished eyelid catheter, the discreet pocket catheter.
Call for your free catheter sample pack with free shipping.
I have an idea.
So, on the side of the Airstream, we have iHeart Laundry.
Ask for your free catheter sample pack inside.
Hey, man!
Give me one of those catheter packs, man.
It's great for smoking doobies.
Hey, wait a minute.
You can use a catheter to smoke a doobie?
Have you ever done this?
No.
But the way this ad ends with a bunch of phone numbers, they say, get your pack today.
They show a guy knocking on the door and some old fart opens it.
And they hand him a box.
A sample.
It's so huge.
It's like this massive monster box.
They give to this guy.
I'm going, oh my god.
I think it's no secret that people who watch regular television are up there.
They're in the catheter demo.
The catheter demo.
That's one.
That's a show title.
The catheter demo.
Yeah.
Hey, sticking with Big Pharma for a minute, producer Daniel sent in a note about the female Viagra, the little pink pill.
Yeah, the little pink pill.
And I think he nailed it.
He says, Adam, let me relate a personal story.
As I've mentioned to you previously, I'm currently on medication for a major recurrent depression for about a year and a half now.
So these are SSRIs.
These are the things that...
And the side effects are that besides anal leakage, you may want to kill yourself.
If you have suicidal thoughts, call your doctor.
But they are for antidepressants.
Kill him.
Yeah.
Ever since I've been taking my current medication, I've had pretty much zero sexual desire.
It's not that things don't function, but the thoughts don't even enter my mind, and I get no satisfaction on release.
Now that I'm slowly building off my dependence on the medication, which does work, he says, my desire is slowly returning.
This cannot be a coincidence.
With much of America drugged up on something, which, yes...
I wouldn't be surprised if the need for HSDD medication is caused by this.
I think he's nailing this.
This makes nothing but sense.
I'm pretty sure that women outnumber men on antidepressants.
I have no data to back it up, but just looking at the ads again, it's usually women who are featured in the ads.
So it's perfect.
We drug you up so you don't want to have sex, and then we give you something to counter-drug you to make you want to have sex.
You're almost normal again.
Sleep, wake, sleep, wake, a pill.
I'll go to sleep, take a pill.
Wake up, take a pill.
Go to sleep, take a pill.
Yeah, it's the same thing as the sleep, wake, sleep, wake thing where you're drugged up all the time for all practical purposes.
You can't go to sleep because you're up high on bennies.
Hello, 1960 calls.
I'm sorry.
They said bennies.
They want their bennies back.
Hey, Benny.
Benny and the Jets.
Mm-hmm.
A guy wrote in Wayne Roper, and he mentioned something.
It came up a little earlier in the show, and I didn't bring it up.
But I was annoyed when he said this, because we haven't actually...
I don't think.
Maybe you did, but I don't know.
I didn't.
It says, great analysis of the Trump coverage.
I've noticed that some journalists' media personalities are calling Trump the Donald, as if to dismiss him as a caricature.
It's annoying, he says.
I think that's...
Yeah, that was a good catch.
There's also the Teflon Don...
I haven't seen that one.
Oh, but I think...
Yeah, I've seen this a couple times.
But Teflon Don originates from New York from...
Was it the...
Huh?
John Gotti.
John Gotti, right.
They called him the Teflon Don.
Yeah.
Because he always got off.
Right.
A good lawyer.
So it's good.
It's interesting.
Yeah, it's something to watch out for.
It's the kind of thing that was commonly going on.
I found another thing.
Which you've written down on paper.
I'm sorry?
Oh, you wrote it down on paper because you shuffled your papers and you said you found something.
I realize a couple of things.
One, Caitlyn Jenner is annoying.
Okay.
Hello, Captain Obvious.
Welcome to the show.
She is so annoying.
I watched her in episode four.
I couldn't watch her.
I have watched an episode as well.
Well, here's my little...
So here's what they just listen to her in this Caitlyn Jenner is annoying clip.
I'm just wondering how the heck I'm ever going to get out of here because I don't want anybody following me.
Certainly to your house.
But I'm going to give it a shot.
Okay, cool.
Till then, babe.
Till then.
Okay.
Bye.
Bye, baby.
Okay.
Can I say something before you get to your undoubtedly kicker second clip?
It's not much of a kicker.
So I, of course, watched not one, but I watched a couple episodes because I'm, you know, I'm, well, I'm a television consultant in the Curry Dvorak consulting group.
And I was like, why is this show losing ratings?
You could not have asked for a better deal with ABC and ESPN, owned by ABC, with the ESPYs Award.
You could not have asked for a better show.
Big-ass Hollywood producers on it.
And then it sucks.
And why does it suck?
Because the whole show is about...
The community, the transgender community, and how we're affecting the world, and how the world is affecting us, and how we all have to be in line and politically correct.
Who fucking cares?
We want to see your junk slap between your butt cheeks.
We want to see you putting on your makeup.
This is, and glad, the gay and lesbian alliance for anti-defamation.
I... We're good to go.
No.
That's all lip service.
I think your premise is wrong, too.
My premise?
Yeah, that we want to see is junk.
Yes, that's what gets ratings.
Yes.
What gets ratings on these reality shows is conflict.
Not just morbid curiosity.
I've got to tell you.
There's no conflict on this show.
Well, they're finally doing something that they're going to try and boost the ratings.
I think they're doing the right thing here.
They're going to have Kris Jenner propose to Caitlyn, and so they'll remarry as a wife and wife.
Where's the conflict in that?
It's a conflict in your brain.
No.
This is nonsense.
There has to be real conflict, people screaming at each other.
They did try to produce a little conflict by bringing on in this fourth episode, Kim Kardashian.
Let's put Kim on and maybe that'll jack up.
You stole my dress!
Was it something like that?
No, there was no conflict.
It was her trying to help him make amends.
It was terrible.
This show sucks.
I think we agree on that.
All right, now here's the funny thing.
Now, I believe, is E-Networks part of the ABC complex?
Because it's on E. Whatever the case.
And I said whatever the case on purpose.
Here's the thing that's kind of funny, because somebody came up with the idea when we first discussed this a while back, that the whole thing was set up by the Kardashian mom, who is the superstar in this process.
And I think it was...
She must have had it removed from her.
Oh, we don't need you.
Or something like that.
That's why I think part of the failure is going on.
And it was supposedly...
NBC Universal owns E. Okay.
Well, then this makes more sense.
Because...
I don't know.
Who carried this story.
And I think it's kind of interesting because it's kind of a callback to the early days of his pre-switching sexes.
This is the Caitlyn story, ABC only.
There is word from authorities tonight that Caitlyn Jenner could face possible charges.
The L.A. Sheriff's Department planning to recommend charges to prosecutors after that fatal accident in Malibu last February.
They are accusing her of unsafe driving, her SUV colliding with a Lexus, a woman that was killed in the accident.
Yeah, well, it proves a point.
Now, it proves a point.
Women can't drive.
This was before the operation.
I know that.
Well, I don't know that you did.
But I think something bad happened.
I think we have a vehicular manslaughter or something going on.
And now he can use a sex change.
Oh, I was all screwed up.
Oh, right.
Yeah, I was confused.
I was confused.
He was pulling a dune buggy, like an off-road dune buggy.
You know, like a real manly kind of thing to do?
When he crashed?
Yeah.
Oh well.
I'd be quite happy if we don't have to talk about Caitlyn Jenner anymore.
I think it'll probably come up once or twice in the future.
It just may.
But I'm just going to have to disagree.
Then I would love for us to produce two episodes.
You produce one episode with conflict, and I produce one where we see him tying his junk back.
I'm telling you, that's the Bonanza, baby, right there.
That's the Sweeps episode.
No.
No.
All right.
If he blows up at the police station, that would be something.
Uh...
Let me see.
I have a confusing North Korea.
Did you hear this North Korean saber-rattling story?
Because apparently South Korea set up a bunch of speakers.
Yeah, and then North Korea tried to blow them up.
Yeah.
So play this, because if you listen to the story, this is what was on PBS, and it just seems not to be fleshed out properly.
Yeah.
North Korea went on a war footing today and issued an ultimatum.
The North's leader, Kim Jong-un, demanded that South Korea halt new propaganda broadcasts at the border by tomorrow night or face a possible attack.
At a briefing in Pyongyang, a senior North Korean officer declared the South deserves severe punishment.
Their aim is to bring about the collapse of the ideology and system which our people have chosen themselves and which our soldiers protect with their lives, and to deprive us of our power and all areas of our lives.
In turn, South Korean troops went to their highest alert status amid reports of North Korean missiles possibly moving to launch positions.
At the same time, U.S. officials confirmed a temporary pause in military exercises with South Korea.
The exercises have since resumed.
Yeah, I did catch that.
Oh, gee, we're doing military exercises and something horrible happens with North Korea?
Let me see.
But there's a timeline issue with this story.
I think that...
There's a timeline issue with this story, which was expressed at the very end of the story, which was the United States stopped doing this, now they're resumed.
What was the timeline here?
Is this over a couple of weeks?
It sounds like a new story that just happened a couple of days ago, but then how do we stop doing these exercises and now they're resumed?
All in this small space of time.
This makes no sense to me.
Do we have a sale coming up of stuff to South Korea?
I have no idea.
This whole thing, this is just a crappy, poorly told story.
I didn't want to look at it.
I thought it was stupid.
If they were going to send missiles, they could probably blow up the speaker set.
They're trying, I guess, some new giant speakers that can go in a few miles.
Hey, we should get the giant speaker.
We should get that geek show guy.
Those geek show guys that you like on the Twitter network?
Oh, yeah.
We should have them go to South Korea and rate the speakers.
Or maybe tune them up a little bit.
There was something else.
What was it?
Remember the big giant speaker story?
Well, you mean the giant voice?
Yeah, big giant voice.
Yeah.
It's still a couple of them around the country.
Gee, I bet we still have some clips from the joint.
I bet you that's what they had going on.
It was just beaming into North Korea.
I think that's all they have.
Here, giant voice system.
This is an example.
Ocean Beach, San Francisco.
These things are everywhere in America, by the way.
Ocean Beach, San Francisco.
Don't they talk?
I think they talk in this.
Yeah.
Hold on.
This is a test.
This is a test of the outdoor warning system.
This is only a test.
All right.
I guess they really have to activate the system to tell people what to do.
Let me talk Euroland for a moment.
First of all, we saw the Prime Minister of Greece, Cyprus, we saw him resign.
Yes, to resign so he can get re-elected.
So he can get re-elected, right?
Snap election because he has to rip apart the party, I guess.
And we have all of this lovely...
I mean, I have a list here.
Now, the Germans...
All these assets were put into the KFW Bank, a German bank, all done in Luxembourg.
And the Germans now, I guess in advance of completely owning it, they are going to be running the regional airports that are part of the collateral for this loan, which is not an IMF loan.
And the ports too, right?
And the ports as well.
But the first privatization was all the regional airports.
So now the Germans are going to go in and run that.
But, you know, Germans, they do make the trains run on time.
So, you know.
And the list...
I have the list here somewhere of all of these...
Here, the fire sale.
I've got it.
We have the Piraeus Port Authority, the OSE SA Trains, which operates all passenger and freight trains on the OSE lines, the Roscoe Rolling Stock Maintenance Availability Services for all the train operating companies, OLTH, which is the Thessaloniki Port Authority, There's a catalog.
If you go to, what is it, HRADF.com, you can see.
I mean, it's just dyno.
We should be in on this.
We should be raising money to buy some of this stuff, man.
This is just fantastic.
Give me that again.
It's HotelRomeoAlphaDeltaFoxtrot.com.
So here's the portfolio.
In progress, rolling ahead, completed.
They've got everything.
Boutique hotels.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Here we have the Xenia Hotels.
We have the former U.S. base in Heraklion.
We have the Cassandra Golf Resort.
Oh, we just steal everything.
We have the marinas at Alamos, Hydra, Poros, and Epidavros.
The Castello Bebelli.
We have all the Olympic assets.
Castello Bebelli is a property, a significant historic property.
That's fantastic.
This is a great catalog.
Yeah.
Let's see, what about the Olympic assets?
Yeah, we're in the wrong business.
Yeah, hello.
What can we buy?
We can buy the Olympic Rowing Center, the Galatsky Olympic Center, which is 91 acres.
The Olympic Equestrian Center.
Hey, get your horsies.
1,000 acres of horsey land.
I love this.
I just love this.
The post office.
Yeah.
Who wants that?
The post office is sold.
Let me see what's already completed.
Completed is...
Oh, okay.
This is a great island.
Look at all these islands, John.
Afantu Roads.
Two neighboring beachfront land plots located in the Afantu area of the island of Rhodes.
That's sold.
Astier Vuliagamenes.
This is a peninsula.
It's huge.
It's a nice...
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
They're doing some e-auctions so you can bid online for little properties.
It's the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund.
The fund's mission...
Who's on the board of directors?
Let's check this out.
This thing is great.
I love this website.
The board of directors...
Let's see.
Board directors.
We have Greek, Greek, Greek, Greek, Greek, Greek, Greek.
Like these trains.
It was just.
It's all Greek people.
These people are screwing their own country.
Isn't it beautiful, though, some of the things that are available?
Even a freeway interchange looks like it's for sale.
Meanwhile...
Is it great or what, the times we live in, where we just screw a country, everyone's looking at it.
We launch these memes saying they're lazy bastards anyway, so everybody hates them.
Everybody fucking hates them.
That works too, by the way.
People love that.
I think it was...
They're lazy bastards.
I think it was Tina's friend Teresa.
She went to Greece to Rhodes.
And, you know, all she heard from fellow vacationers was, you know, the Greece, you know, they are really lazy, and so they really kind of deserve all this.
Which is kind of not true, although nicely launched.
No, it's actually one of the most productive people in Europe.
Now, add to that that we then bombed Libya, which we never saw any footage of.
Did we ever see any good footage of the so-called no-fly zone where we just bombed the crap out of Libya?
I've seen lots of footage of the place.
Well, not of the bombing itself.
It's rubbleized now.
And so, a thousand people a day are making the crossing from North Africa, from Libya to Greece.
Jubilant upon arrival, these migrants have reached the Greek island of Lesbos and, importantly for many, the European Union.
Accustomed to receiving daily boatloads of people, volunteers are on hand to welcome the arrivals as they take the first steps in their new lives.
No more.
Lives.
Lives.
War.
We need the life.
That's what we need.
We need the life.
These poor guys.
He's like, we're at war.
We got hunger, poverty.
We need a life.
There is no life in Syria.
Each one of the migrants who just arrived on the island paid $3,000 for the trip from Turkey.
Again, proof we're in the wrong business, John.
This is a good business.
This is just a couple of dinghies.
Just get some...
Shoot!
We could get air mattresses, you know, the aerobeds.
Float them on there.
Their trip lasted around two and a half hours.
Volunteers were waiting to offer them food and water, but hopes are soon dashed as they face an eight-kilometer walk to a nearby village.
Despite the beautiful scenery, the intense summer heat proves too much for many, and they end up sleeping on the side of We're dead.
We speak to a woman who made it to the village, but faces another journey to reach one of the islands.
This is a very nice lady, and they're all smiling, John.
They're all really happy they got a Syria.
Of course, our weapons are killing Syrians.
Our guns, we're providing them.
No one gives a shit about these people.
Migrant camps.
We take four hours to come to here, sleep outside, and now we are here with good people.
Now they help us.
We hope we go another place, good place.
Yeah, we need a little bit of help.
We just need a little bit of help, as all the poor woman is asking for.
I've got a clip.
And of course, this clip that you have doesn't represent what's going on now, which is now that they're moving these guys through Greece and they're hitting Macedonia, and now all hell's breaking loose.
They're shooting each other.
But I'm kind of interested in the way...
The next report, the one I have here, is from NewsHour PBS with Judy.
And Judy uses the word migrant or immigrant.
Immigrant.
And the other people who are doing the actual reporting are using refugees.
We've talked about this before.
It definitely should be refugees because that's what's going on here.
It's not like somebody deciding to move.
And they're caused by us.
Well, no, that's...
Of course.
Of course it's caused by us.
And Eastern, most of Europe.
Of course, Europe has to suck all these people up.
And...
What's interesting is that this report, which I believe will be the most official report of what we're supposed to think, because this is another one, and I pointed this out before, another one of these reports that PBS uses, they don't have their own reporters for this, even though they do, from ITN. Ah, yes.
Whenever they do the ITN report, that is a package deal that has been put together.
Messaging.
This is official.
Europe's migrant crisis turned violent today along Macedonia's border with Greece.
Macedonian security forces used force to drive back thousands of migrants trying to head deeper into the continent.
We have a report from Juliet Bremner of Independent Television News.
From one battleground to another.
Survivors from Syria's brutal civil war driven back at the Macedonian border.
Riot police...
Wow, hold on.
Can we just stop and say...
Wait a minute.
From their civil war?
Civil war.
The Syrian thing?
Yeah.
That's official.
That's officially what it is.
Okay.
I know it's bullcrap, but it's official.
Back at the Macedonian border.
Riot police using tear gas and stun grenades force away hundreds of refugees.
Taze them!
Parents try to shield their frightened children.
In the chaos, migrants do their best to tend to one another's wounds.
A state of emergency has been declared in the south and north of the country.
Around 36,000 arrived in Macedonia last month, heading through Greece to the border town of Gevgelia, travelling by train to Kumanova and onwards to Serbia and Western Europe.
John, this is perfect!
The Germans are running them on trains.
Do they give them a little patch?
They don't want to stay in Macedonia.
They are in transit, but now find themselves trapped.
There is more than three or four thousand.
They are coming more.
So it's not believable what the Macedonia side do, you know.
And they know that we are only crossing.
But now they are stuck, sleeping without cover in a country that's not prepared for the influx.
There are hundreds of vulnerable persons, children, babies, other persons with extreme vulnerabilities, including medical needs.
Most of them, if not all of them, stay rough in the open air.
Tonight there are calls for an end to these heavy-handed tactics, and for Greece and Macedonia to instead offer assistance to desperate people.
More than 160,000 migrants have arrived in Greece so far this year, and nearly all head north.
Bomb them, bomb them, and bomb them again.
I want to stomp on them, I want to swap them, I want to raid them.
This is a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions.
I know, and we're not even...
The Americans, at least if you listen to the normal news, we're not even paying any attention.
They're migrants.
They're annoying migrants.
Three by three analysis of these three networks.
There is rarely...
Once in a while, there's a little short snippet of a 60-second bit of a story bitching about something or other.
They just throw it in.
And these are children.
They're women and children and just kids.
And they're tasing them.
They're spraying them with Raid.
This is...
I feel, I personally, as a citizen of the Gitmo nation of the United States, feel like a dick.
It's totally dickish.
God, man.
We're rousting the whole Middle East and pushing them into Europe.
So you Europeans like this, you want to be a United States of Europe, so you want to compete with us in the world market for, okay, okay, no problem.
You can compete with us.
I know what you're trying to do.
They're trying to make a little deal amongst yourselves so you can compete with us on the world stage.
No problem.
No problem.
Have some kids.
Here, have some migrants.
I'd like a side of migrants, please, with my gelato.
Have some migrants, my friend.
No, man.
Big shots.
Big shots.
I don't have a clip, but I'm sure you saw the two Marines who jumped on the Moroccan.
Wait, stop for a second.
For one thing, I've read every report on this.
It's not two Marines.
Okay.
Okay.
One guy was an Air Force guy, another guy was a National Guard in Oregon.
And there was a third guy.
Yeah, a French guy.
Was it French guy or British guy?
No, no, there was a third American, which is not being talked about.
I don't even know who they were.
He was their handler, no doubt.
Something.
There was a third American and then some Brit.
But did you see they all got medals?
No, I haven't gotten to the medals part yet.
The French give medals to the draw, but Jerry Lewis gets a medal from the French.
Yeah, but do they have them all pounded up and ready to go?
Like there's a suitcase full of medals whenever, oh, these guys had medals right away the same day.
Same day.
I went to Paris once I got a medal.
Just do Americans train medals.
And you'll see the picture.
They're all holding up these gold medals.
Medals for U.S. troops who foiled France's train attack.
How many people do they show?
Three guys.
They show three guys holding up these medals.
What happened to the British guy who jumped in?
Well, he doesn't get a medal.
He gets a medal for participating.
A booby prize.
And they're sitting there with their medals.
Do you see it?
Yeah.
Come on!
Maybe they do have a suitcase full of them.
I don't know.
What day was it?
Was it a weekend?
Was it a weekend?
Because they go to that Paris flea market and pick up a few medals.
Pick up a couple of medals?
Yeah.
They're all over the place.
It was great.
Loved it.
Medals.
Maybe there were some, as part of the Olympic Village purchase, there were some medals laying around.
By the way, let's make a point of pointing this out.
Point of pointing.
Here we go again.
Some maniac comes in, and instead of the government doing anything, even though they had this guy there tracking him, and where's the NSA? They're collecting all these phone calls around the world, and the French secret police are doing the same thing.
Yeah, they've been watching him since 2012.
Yeah, and so he shows up and they took a couple of guys on the train to beat the crap out of him.
If they put the whole thing into the, like you said, give people swords on the airplane in the front row.
Yeah, swords.
And if some guy attacks the plane, you stab him.
Swords.
Oh, yeah.
On the plane, on the way home.
Yeah, okay.
And we had one of those flight attendants.
Wait, you got a sword?
No.
We had one of those flight attendants that did a really funny safety briefing.
Oh, right, the PSA, the stand-up comic briefing.
It was good.
It was one of the better ones.
Well, they're all pretty much the same.
No, and even at the end when we're taxiing to the gate, you know, he does the whole...
He had some funny things like, you know, hey, please be careful opening the overhead bins.
You know, the kid you stuffed up in there might fall out on someone's head.
Yeah, it's new.
Yeah.
But then his timing was impeccable because the minute we stopped and the captain, you know, dinged the signal, the guy goes on and says, all right, get out.
Yeah, I've heard that gag.
I liked that.
I hadn't heard it yet.
It was good.
But...
Yeah, I've heard the...
Okay, get out.
So we both go to the restroom, not for my high club experience, but, you know, so I'm waiting.
And he's sitting right there in a little jump seat.
He says, I'm sorry, I can't have you standing here.
I said, I'm just waiting for...
No, no.
You have to...
You can't stand.
He said, well, how about this?
And I took a step back.
He said, two more steps back.
Oh, you were at the front?
It was the front?
Yeah, it was 737.
Yeah, they don't want you being around there.
Two more steps back.
That makes a big difference now, doesn't it?
Whatever.
With that, I think that we should thank some other people who have supported this program, John.
I'm going to show my salute by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
We have a few people to thank.
A do?
Starting with, yeah, a do.
A do.
Clay, what a Gilliland, I guess, in Chandler, Arizona.
Let me see.
It looks to me like Gilliland.
Gilliland.
Gilliland.
Ah, Gilliland.
Gilliland.
I do Gilliland, yeah.
Clay Gilliland.
Clay Gilliland, yeah.
$111.11.
Along with Thomas Miller, $111.11.
He sent a check-in and he sent a note.
Let's see if there's anything in this note I want to relate.
Starts, oh yeah, it's a very fine note.
You bastards!
Good start.
That's what he says.
Keep playing the Obama no clips.
And now whenever I say no in conversation, it comes out.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Uh, I know.
He says, this is the unintended consequences of something.
They have no agenda.
Yeah, I guess.
But we do ruin your life.
He says, great idea, Adam, for your road trip.
Start in Colorado, which is not possible, by the way, since he lives in Austin, Texas.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And load up on excellent legal weed.
Yeah, and then drive through four other states.
Great idea.
It's great.
With some firearms.
That's even better.
Just bring a Tupperware bowl to store it as it smells really strong.
Handy tips.
Handy drug smuggling tips on your No Agenda show.
Kedibles are interesting also.
If you need a driver for part of your trip, I volunteer.
Oh, thank you.
Will you be stoned while you drive me?
Probably.
Or can I just sit in the back in the Airstream token it up?
Hey man, great idea for road trip.
Start in Colorado and load up on excellent legal weed.
Yeah.
I can't wait.
Okay.
You'll have fun there.
John Schroeder in Milan, Illinois.
10560.
He's got a douchebag call out here.
All right, all right, all right.
You might want to read it because it's just...
A long-time boner, first-time donor.
My brother hit me in the mouth over four years ago and has been a boner too long.
My donation of $105.60 is to join the Mile High Club.
Make a note of that, John.
Along with my brother Christian, who is an honorary member.
I hope you're not thinking of doing this together.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity I cannot pass up.
I want to call out quad citations as douchebags.
Douchebags!
You know who you are.
This in effort to increase donations, if you've already, bless you, if you've already donated, do it again!
Because a world without no agenda is a scary place.
As I head back to slave training at St.
Ambrose University, I need you guys' deconstruction to keep me sane with this upcoming election.
Since Bernie has been to Davenport twice already, including my school, it is well needed.
Keep up the great work.
P.S. Episode 749er was fantastic and sealed the deal for my donation.
Boom shakalaka.
David Lane in Manassas, Virginia, $100.73.
We have a bunch of people who donated the Make Good $100 to prop up the show.
I want to thank them in order.
Starting with Graham Stanton in Point Cook, Victoria, Australia.
You might want to look at the notes as I go along, because there's a couple of funny ones in here.
David Fugizotto, I think he's in the military somewhere.
Parts Unknown, $100.

Michael Siegenthaler in Phoenix, Arizona.
Did you know Arizona State, which is in the Phoenix area, has 82,000 students?
No.
Geez.
I've been to, is it Tempe?
Is that where Arizona State is?
No, I think that's Arizona.
Oh.
But I saw you too at Tempe.
Well, that'd be probably...
That was also big.
ASU's in Phoenix.
Tempe's further south.
Okay.
Randall Myers in Manassas.
And by the way, if anyone goes to Tempe, there is, I think it's called St.
Xavier.
It is a mission that you have to go to.
A mission?
As in a godly mission?
A mission.
You know, these old churches that were set up in the 1560s, 1600s, or 1700s, I guess.
Mm-hmm.
This one, they kept it intact in so far as the way it was decorated.
And it makes you realize that, for one thing, the painting, the whole walls are all painted in this three-dimensional imagery.
And it's like a lot of optical illusions inside, in the three-dimensional stuff.
And you can see some Indians going in and going, okay, I'm in!
Are there any hexagons?
Yes, yes, as a matter of fact, I would say that there are hexagons.
Are there any unicorns?
No, no, none of that.
We'll have none of that.

Jeff Hofer in La Habra, California.
Sir Don Silva in Yua Beach, Hawaii.
He sent a note?
He sent a note to read?
Yeah, he sent a check and a note.
Nice.
He says that article on microaggressions, which was a link, I put in one of the newsletters, was a real eye-opener.
I'm shocked.
I was generally affected very deeply.
I almost subscribed to the Atlantic.
Instead, I'll send the money to you.
Bing!
Smart man.

I thought we were going to be 51.
51?
I don't know.
Please.
Give me a break.
What are you?
I'll be 51.
Yeah, that's what I said.
You're not going to be 53.
She's wrong.
She's just giving you a bad time.
Oh, there you go.
She said 53.
Yeah, that's mean.
That's just mean.
Mean girl.
Mean girl alert.

And do we have the webpage up yet?
It's coming up.
It'll be up before the next show.
I can't wait.
John Porter in Paisley.
I always think that's a fascinating name for a town.
I wonder if that's where Paisley was invented in the UK. Serendipity.
That's a good one.
I love Serendipity.
I like Serendipity.
$52.80 from someplace in Portugal.

And last but not least, Sir David Trotsky.
Now, somebody...
I don't know why our dame...
And I'm not going to mention her name because she's in the anonymous side.
This is...
She did have something to say.
We're already hearing flocks of geese here in the morning.
I've talked about this before.
And she's in South Carolina.
Well, this is only our third summer in Charleston.
It seems too early for this migration to reach us this far south.
It's only August.
I'm shocked, I tell you.
The birds.
Just shocked about the birds.
Birds are up to something.
Shocked, I tell you.
It could be a promotion for a zoo.
Okay.
All right.
You got me.
All right.
Is that it?
That's it.
I want to thank all these folks.
I really appreciate the $100 make goods.
Yeah, the make good donation was a nice one, and it kept the...
Now, we had about 10 of them, right?
No, we had...
About around 10?
I just want to say...
14, actually.
The universe is working even more in our favor than usual.
You know, when you give something, and I think what we did is we gave...
The entire audience, the entire producing audience, the gift of not being shills, not being monkey boys, and we got it, and our luck came back tenfold.
Yeah, there you go.
Right?
Yeah, pretty much.
The universe, man.
I'm telling you, that sucker works.
Knows how to work.
That's it.
Yeah, that's it.
I want to thank you all.
Yeah, we will have...
Dvorak.org slash NA. And we will have another show on Thursday, and I will have a report from the iHeart Laundry Tour.
Dvorak.org slash NA. And we start with Shalina Yemeni, who wants to say happy birthday to her boyfriend.
This is a belated birthday.
I guess we miss it.
Her boyfriend, Jose Martin Cosme, a.k.a.
Chicken Tikka Masala Balls, was celebrating his birthday on August 21st.
So we say happy birthday to him.
And for the 27th, same date as my daughter Christina, Jonathan Rowley will be celebrating.
Happy birthday from all your buddies here at The Best Podcast in the Universe!
Then we have one belated knighting.
This is a black knight.
I thought we knighted him.
We did not knight him.
We promised to put him in the 750 club.
Then somehow we messed up.
Black knight alert!
Black knight alert!
This is Felter Rogue.
And so we apologize.
If you can get up on the podium, Felter, watch out!
John's got his knife.
I've always got to be careful.
Delta Rogue, thank you very much for becoming a knight.
Oh, not becoming a knight, and also the sole member of the 750 Club.
Very proud to pronounce the KD, Sir Rogue Black Knight of the Okanogan Plains.
For you, my friend, we have Hookers and Blow, Rent Boys and Chardonnay.

Head on over to noagentonation.com slash rings.
And please tweet us.
We love seeing the tweets of your official certification and of your sealing wax and of your...
I finally figured out...
You remember Eric was trying to get personalized sealing wax?
Yeah, it said no agenda on the side.
Yeah, except that didn't work out.
The sealing wax says, official sealing wax on the side.
Did we get this from China?
Yeah, what do you think?
Yeah, that's working out just fine.
Well...
I need to give everybody a jobs comment.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You stop.
Karma.
Alrighty.
I think you're right, John.
I was thinking that Hillary Clinton was real in that Black Lives Matter thing, and you said it was a script.
I'm going to rescind.
I think you're right.
Um...
It was fake to me.
I don't know how you liked it.
It was good.
I thought it was a good script.
It was a good script.
The camera's there.
So these two Black Lives Matter spokesholes...
You okay?
Did you get it?
I'm just trying to clear my nose.
I know the problem.
They were on...
Was this CNN? I'm not sure.
But just listen to them speaking.
Now, what I do believe to be true, what Hillary alluded to, is that there's no legislation, there's nothing backing up these groups.
They are solely intended to wreak havoc, create problems, create tension, create racial divisiveness.
And we know that one of the major funders is the Open Society Institute.
That would be George Soros, never seen in the same photo with Brzezinski.
I just want to have a lot of trouble so I can keep my wealth.
Right?
Yeah.
Did I nail it?
Pretty good.
Here we go.
So, Julius, we can expect...
This is with Braulf, yes, of course.
More of that kind of interrupting the candidates as they try to speak.
He's even...
Can we look forward to more interrupting the candidates as they try to speak?
You guys are so awesome!
So, Julius, we can expect more of that kind of interrupting the candidates as they try to speak.
Is that what I'm hearing?
I think what the video that Danesh and I... And others are in shows that there is actually more diverse tactics than just shutting down.
But from the palette of things that we will do, there's a diversity.
We'll shut them down.
We'll have meetings.
Whatever it takes to get Black Lives Matter on the national agenda is what we're seeking to do.
And it's important to note that folks want to characterize And judge the Black Lives Matter movement in myriad ways, but what no one can argue with is that this is a pressing issue.
This is a pressing issue.
And some people live in a world where it's just a pressing issue in politics, and some people live in a world where it's actually our kids dying.
And so if folks want to Inform their own perspective on Black Lives Matter.
It's the urgency that we see in the video of Sam DuBose, who got shot in the head, point-blank range in a car, just for driving.
It's the urgency of Tamir Rice, who was 12 years old, who was shot literally for playing.
He was shot for playing.
Literally?
Literally.
He says literally.
Literally.
Literally was shot for playing.
Hey, kid, are you playing?
I'm going to shoot you.
No.
No.
Who was shot literally for playing.
And it's the urgency of Sandra Bland.
The case that everybody knows.
Say what?
He wasn't shot for playing.
He was shot while playing.
Yeah, but literally shot for playing.
For playing.
And it's the urgency of Sandra Bland.
What is the point of these sorts of lies?
Well, it's about to happen.
You're going to hear it in the next 20 seconds.
The case that everybody knows.
So, temper...
That's interesting.
Sandra Bland, he says, well, everyone knows about that.
No, we actually, we don't know.
That's part of the problem with that particular case.
We don't know what happened.
But he just says, well, everybody knows.
Hey, fuck, are you stupid?
You stupid?
Everybody knows.
The case that everybody knows.
So, temper, I would say temper your perspective with the urgency that black lives are actively under attack and we are in a terrible war with our own country.
Now, here's where it gets interesting.
Because, of course, we have the counterweight to Black Lives Matter, and that is all lives matter.
To these guys, all lives matter means something very specific.
African Americans are Americans, and we're not treated like that.
We're not treated as if Black Lives Matter.
And when people say all lives matter, it's actually a violent statement.
Because the only time that people say all lives matter is in opposition to Black Lives Matter.
And it's the most violent statement of love that you can do.
A violent statement of love that you can do?
All lives matter.
Yes, we understand that.
It's true.
But in this country, for a long time, the United States acts like black lives don't matter.
Yeah, okay.
So it's a violent statement to say all lives matter.
This literally is going to rile up violence.
So if you say all lives matter, they see that as the most violent act of love you can do, whatever that means.
The most violent act of love.
Wow, that's a brain twister right there.
So these guys are a hate group, I think.
Yeah, I think they are a hate group.
It's pretty obvious.
And I just want to reiterate, you're all wrong.
No lives matter.
The people running the show don't give a crap about you.
No lives matter.
No lives matter to them.
This Sheriff Clark, who's from Oklahoma, I think we've played one of his bits before.
Black Sheriff.
And he just, I mean, he really just laid it out, and I don't remember what he was on, but I like what he said.
Do you think there's a way to have a beneficial conversation within the black community?
Because people outside that are going to say, we're not the ones who can go in and talk about black-on-black violence effectively.
We're not a part of that community.
But it's an important topic.
Do you think it's possible within that community to have a meaningful conversation on that?
Meaningful conversation.
John, could you come over tomorrow night?
I'm going to have a meaningful conversation.
I want a meaningful conversation, even though we're not from that community.
Well, I'd like to...
You've got Chardonnay.
Chardonnay.
Do you have Chardonnay?
I want it cold.
Cold for a meaningful conversation.
I might even have some nuts.
In that community, to have a meaningful conversation on that.
Well, I'd like to think that there is, but I haven't seen any indication of it.
Because this whole Black Lives Matter movement is dominating the conversation.
They're dominating the stage right now.
They're trying to make this about the police.
The police are one of the few things that's right in St.
Louis, Missouri.
One of the few things that's right in Ferguson, Missouri.
And until the mainstream media, because they've been the propaganda wing for this movement, until the liberal mainstream media stops fanning the flames of racial division and stops giving the microphone and the stage, if you will, to this mob, they're going to continue to drown out the people who really need to step up and who really can make a difference in the American ghetto.
There you go.
In the American ghetto.
I love that.
He said drowned.
Did he say what?
Did he?
He said they drowned.
Let me hear that again.
They drowned.
He drowned?
Oh, yeah.
It stops giving the microphone on the stage, if you will.
It's further back.
The mainstream media, because they've been the propaganda wing for this movement, until the liberal mainstream media stops fanning the flames of racial division and stops giving the microphone, the stage, if you will, to this mob, they're going to continue to drown out the people who really need to step up and really can make a difference in the American ghetto.
That kind of ruins this whole statement, doesn't it?
Dude.
Drowned.
I made a mistake in the newsletter.
Only two people.
Oh, I didn't catch it.
I always proofread it and I didn't catch it.
What did you say?
I know the right word, but I used the wrong one.
I used it twice.
Oh boy.
It was the show is beholden to the audience and I wrote beholding.
It's beholden.
I'm sorry I missed that one.
Well, I mean, I missed it.
I've read it a couple of times, and for some reason I didn't catch it.
I know the words.
And, you know, what are you going to do?
I do my best.
We had an interesting conversation, John, on the last show.
We had a conversation about science being the new religion.
Oh yeah, with your buddies.
I got a lot of comments.
I bet you did.
But I'd like to share one with you.
Did your buddies send a note in or anything?
I bet you 10 bucks are not listening to this show anymore.
I forgot to mention that Professor Russ also had a vasectomy.
And he looks like a lesbian.
There you go.
This is a note from Sir Eric of Chitown.
You know, if I... I don't, with friends like that, who needs enemies?
What?
What comment?
What can I say?
This is an observation I made, and it's based on a book I read in the 19...
not in the 20s.
But look at Professor Russ.
He looks like a lesbian.
He can't help it.
He can't help it once you get the vasectomy.
That's the direction you go.
Yeah, but his wife made him do it.
Of course.
Hey Adam, hope you're enjoying your time in the Windy City.
At least you've come up for some decent weather.
As an ordained pastor, someone who has a PhD in theology, and whose doctoral work covered the idea of what a God is, here's another angle on the science as a religion conversation.
A hint, you are right.
Now, do we have a great producing audience or what?
The best.
An ordained pastor, PhD in theology, So take that professor brain.
We have professors in theology, something you are not a professor in.
And there you have it.
In 1529, the German reformer Martin Luther, we all know him, did he not start the Lutheran Church?
Pretty much.
published his large catechism.
As he was unpacking the line from the Ten Commandments, quote, you shall have no other gods before me, end quote, he reflected on what a god is.
A god, wrote Luther, is any, remember this is a professor saying this, a god, wrote Luther, is anything on which your heart relies, anything in which you put your trust.
Therefore, it is very possible for science to be a god and for religion to form around it.
Yes.
This connects with the original sin phrase that people of power keep tossing about, a phrase which is a very complicated metaphor I wish they would actually explain.
Here we go.
If the response is that trust is not religion, they are technically right in that there is no formal hierarchy or structure, but trust is the essence of faith.
And faith does lead to religion, especially amongst those who blindly or uncritically follow a way of thinking that is designed to build trust in a way of thinking or acting.
As a reminder, I'm a pastor, so I know this problem from both personal experience and academic work.
In today's media, science is a kind of religion.
Whenever people talk about science, just replace the word with God or purple fairies or magic.
Purple fairies.
Ha ha ha ha!
And the effect will normally be the same.
Science is being used on the media-consuming public like religion was being used on the public in Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Yeah, this is, of course, a lot of people refer to this process as idolatry.
And I think...
What are the little things you worship around idolatry?
Idols.
No, no.
There's a different word I'm looking for.
The religious symbols.
I think an example of this, which includes a salute.
Ah.
Hail Apples!
Hail Apple.
I'd host you for your meal during your time here, but my wife hates the show.
Just with the...
The pastor.
I'd host you for your meal during your time here.
My wife hates the show?
My wife hates the show.
Oh, well.
Keep up the media.
But why?
I don't know.
He needs to explain.
Anyway, Sir Eric...
A lot of it was tied up in that note we received earlier that I read.
My wife hates the show.
The show contradicts Yeah.
Your thought process if you're all in with the mainstream media.
I just love that.
Here's a professor.
Don't screw you.
Here's a professor in two paragraphs explaining why science is religion.
And then his toss away is, I'd host a meal for you during your time here, but my wife hates the show.
Oh, well.
Hitting people in the mouth for Jesus, Sir Eric of Chaita.
And I just realized...
It is not the book of knowledge.
We should be looking things up in the tree of knowledge.
Well, that's a bit much.
I already have the jingle.
Anyway, I appreciate that, Sir Eric, Pastor Eric.
And tell your wife I said hey.
You turned on your friend there.
Yeah, well, he turned on me.
I guess he did.
Come on.
I can take abuse in a private setting, but you want to do that on the face page?
No, no, no.
I'm not going to stand for that.
Oh, it was on Facebook.
That's right.
Yeah, it's very public.
It wasn't private email.
No.
He decided to bring it out in the open and try to humiliate you.
And he had his fellow professor nuts jump on board.
That's crazy.
Oh yeah, that's bad.
And then his wife compared me to Hitler.
ISIS. Yeah, you got the Hitler thing in there.
Come on.
One more email, John, from Sam.
In the morning, that's hilarious that you brought up that Subway was packed the day that the Jared allegations came out.
I almost emailed you to tell you a similar anecdote.
I work in a small office with eight people, myself included.
I bring lunch to work, as do two other co-workers.
Of the five guys that always go out to lunch, four of them, independently of each other, decided to get Subway for lunch that day.
Subliminal messaging works.
Wow.
I didn't expect that.
I didn't even think about it until you brought it up.
And I should have.
I'm always trying to catch that stuff.
I have a clip.
Because I don't know what this clip is.
I have my list of clips.
I produce them in the morning and I usually remember what they are.
I don't know what Hillary cracks news hour.
Random clip on the No Agenda show.
She's had a really terrible launch to her candidacy.
There's been a series of questions, a series of things that she's been defensive on.
And there are Democrats now thinking in the back of their mind, do we need a plan B? I think that's very real.
This has gone from a very small chance of implosion to maybe a larger chance, where Democrats are saying that Sanders can't carry the ball into the election, and there may need to be someone else.
There's no one obvious, to be honest.
But I think those questions have now been raised in a serious way.
There was a report today, Mark, and Michael, that Vice President Biden is asking some technical questions about mounting a campaign.
But we'll see.
I mean, he's indicated he'll make a decision.
Joe Biden, like every other presidential candidate, still dreams about being elected president.
I mean, it doesn't go away.
It is a lifelong affliction.
A lifelong affliction?
That's what he said.
That's a weak analysis.
All weak analysis we see on the news are these two guys.
One guy from the Washington Post and then Mark Shields and the two guys go back and forth.
The guy from the Washington Post supposed to represent the Republicans and he doesn't.
He's just another Democrat.
It's so obvious.
And they go back and forth.
I got a follow-up clip here which is more weak analysis.
Okay.
Well, you have two of them.
All right.
Yeah, there's one student.
I got you.
But actually, play the Trump one.
Okay.
There we go.
At the same time, Judy, let's be very blunt about this.
Please.
There's a mean-spiritedness in the electorate he's appealing to.
I mean, when the CNN poll asks...
Which of all the candidates do you agree with on immigration?
By a four-to-one margin, Republican primary voters say Donald Trump.
Donald Trump, whatever else he is, his position is anti-immigrant overall.
It is devastating.
Michael's absolutely right.
It is devastating the Republican Party in the long run because Asian voters, the fastest-growing minority in the country who supported George H.W. Bush when he lost badly in 92, He voted even more Democratic than Latinos.
47% of Asians voted against...
They're hurting them in the long run, but in the short run, it's helping him with the Republican primary voters, right?
Well, there are members, I completely agree, who want to be pale versions of Trump, which I think is hurting them and hurting the party.
How can you get more pale than Trump?
Yeah.
There was a story that I first caught in Rolling Stone magazine, which I now condemn Rolling Stone magazine.
No, Rolling Stone is completely against Trump.
A bunch of assholes.
And Taibbi is one of the big promoters of the anti-Trump rhetoric.
I just got to read this.
This is Matt Taibbi.
Yeah, he's the one.
He's the hitman.
He starts off by saying, so two yahoos from Southie in my hometown of Boston severely beat up a Hispanic homeless guy earlier this week.
While being arrested, one of the brothers reportedly told police that, quote, Donald Trump was right.
All these illegals need to be deported.
When reporters confronted Trump, he hadn't yet heard about the incident.
At first, he said, well, that would be a shame.
But right after that, he went on to say, I will say the people that are following me are very passionate.
They love this country.
They want this country to be great again.
But they are very passionate.
I will say that.
Now, this is so taken out of context.
And if you read the report of what actually happened, these are two a-holes who apparently were peeing on a homeless guy by...
I mean, what does Matt Taibbi hope to get?
An ambassadorship?
What does he want from this?
I'm so disappointed.
I don't know why he's doing it.
He's so disappointing.
He's good at his financial Wall Street stuff.
Well, you know, it just makes you wonder.
Yeah.
Because he's so...
He's just...
He's a dick.
I mean, he is blinded by Trump.
And it was all alleged, you know, but...
And then I caught the story also on Facebook.
People going, this is not funny anymore.
This guy's crazy.
We gotta stop him.
Trump's gonna kill America.
That guy.
Stupid moron.
When you follow that guy, it just doesn't make sense to me.
Well, he gets my blood pumping.
Yeah, I was very disappointed in this case.
It's very bigoted.
Bigoted coverage of Trump.
I mean, there's plenty of things you can go after Trump that are real, but taking some incident out of context and moving it over to here.
So unnecessary.
So there's a thing going on that I have to mention, which is the messaging.
It doesn't happen too often on NewsHour.
It usually shows up on network TV, but apparently this long-winded ex-head of Mossad...
You rarely see these guys on the Israeli side, these spies, come out and start talking.
And he was on NewsHour?
What was the reason for his being on NewsHour?
To me, his name is Ephraim.
Helevi.
The reason, in my opinion, was to inform the elites, specifically the elite Jews.
The Jelits.
The Jelits.
A new category.
To tell them...
Those no-agenda guys are racist, man.
They're bigots.
Just to tell the cognoscenti what's going on so they don't believe everything they hear.
In other words, Israel...
This is what the message is, in my opinion.
Whose else's opinion would I be saying?
Is...
We're all in on this.
This agreement is fine.
Everything you're hearing about what Netanyahu is doing is just smokescreen for keeping his people from the right wing or whoever it is that hates this idea from getting all bent out of shape.
This is so scripted, so rehearsed.
This guy talks like a robot.
He's the worst communicator ever.
It went on for a long time, way too long for NewsHour.
So it was all messaging.
Paid for.
Paid for.
He's telling us What, how to think about this situation, and the Mossad guy, which, you know, they run the place.
So let's hear what he has to say, part one.
As well, the Associated Press reporting that Iran will be able to use its own inspectors.
They have a side deal with the International Atomic Energy Agency, where Iranian inspectors will be in charge of looking at the military site, the so-called Parchin site.
The argument is that this is a big loophole in the agreement.
How do you see it?
This is an agreement which is a secret agreement reached between the Director General of the IEA, which is a United Nations body charged for years with supervising the implementation of the non-proliferation treaty.
The Director of this agency, Yakiro Amano, is not only a veteran in this field of disarmament, he's been highly regarded and he has impeccable credentials.
Up to now, Israel has respected Yaqirah Amano, respected his judgments, and I think we should wait and see how the ultimate process of the negotiations he is now conducting with the Iranians, and the outcome of these negotiations at the end of this year, how he will be satisfied with the arrangements that he is setting up in order to monitor these activities.
Okay.
So that was one of those questions.
We have this issue, this new issue is floating around about the...
The secret agreement.
The Iranians get to inspect themselves.
Let's just push that aside with that commentary.
I've done something crazy, and you tell me when you want it.
I did something really crazy, John.
Okay.
I actually took a look at the secret agreement.
I was actually wondering why it took so long.
Yeah.
Okay, let's play part two, and the guy's going to get some more stuff out of the way.
And this went on for, like I said, a long time.
And the message is, don't worry about it.
Just, you know, this is fine.
Finally, Mr.
Levy, how difficult is it for you to support this agreement when your prime minister, when the majority of Israeli public opinion, we are told, opposes it?
First of all, there has been no real public debate in Israel on this.
The Knesset, which is the equivalent, if I may say so, of Congress has not even discussed it once.
I think there is an attempt here to stifle public discussion.
I'm not alone in this view.
There are others who are thinking likewise as I am.
One of them is General Uzzi Elam, the former head of the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission, a highly regarded general, a man who led his battalion and stormed the old city in 1967.
And there are others, like Professor Ben Yisrael, who was head of R&D of the Israeli Defense Establishment for many years, an Air Force general.
In the Yom Kippur War, the vast majority of public opinion and official opinion said there would be no war.
Very few people stood up and said the opposite.
Let's not have another Yom Kippur in reverse.
Okay, so he's talking war.
Well, in reverse.
In reverse, yeah.
Well, let's read through the paragraph 5, the relevant paragraph of the side letter known as Separate Arrangement 2 agreed to by the Islamic State of Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency on 11 July 2015 regarding the roadmap.
Point 1.
Iran and the agency agreed on the following sequential arrangement with regard to the Parchin issue.
Iran will provide to the agency photos of the locations, including those identified in paragraph 3 below, which would be mutually agreed between Iran and the agency, taking into account military concerns.
2.
Iran will provide to the agency videos of the locations, including those identified in paragraph 3, which would be mutually agreed upon between Iran and the agency, taking into account military concerns.
3.
Iran will provide to the agency seven environmental samples taken from points inside one building already identified by the agency and agreed to by Iran, and two points outside of the parching complex, which would be agreed between Iran and the agency.
4.
The agency will ensure the technical authenticity of the activities referred to in paragraphs 1 to 3.
Activities will be carried out using Iran's authenticated equipment.
Consistent with technical specifications provided by the agency and the agency's containers and seals.
The above-mentioned measures will be followed as a courtesy by Iran by a public visit of the Director General as a dignitary guest of the government of Iran accompanied by his deputy for safeguards.
And six, Iran and the agency will organize a one-day technical roundtable on issues relevant to Parchin.
You know...
You can make this sound like, oh, they're just going to give us everything and we just have to believe them.
But I think the details, and this is the roadmap.
This is not the detailed agreement.
This is the roadmap.
I think it's probably going to be reasonably okay if you take into account what's really happening here is every country in the EU and outside, but certainly the EU, are all now negotiating with Iran for business.
Everyone is, this is a bonanza.
Iran is open for business and everybody loves it.
There are big buyers.
Yeah.
You know what the number one...
I don't understand what our, except for the rebelization theory, I don't understand what our reluctance is unless we want to get the upper hand for business, but we're going to give it away like we did with Cuba.
The Canadians are the ones who got gold investing.
Now, do you know what the red gold is?
Red gold?
Mm-hmm.
Tell me.
I think you've probably mentioned this to me before.
Iran accounts for 130 to 160 tons of the 200 tons of this red gold produced worldwide every year.
Far outranking Spain, Italy, the U.S., China, Afghanistan.
No, we've talked about it.
This is you talking about saffron.
Yes.
Saffron.
Yeah, no, the Persian saffron.
Whoa, yeah, no, hold on.
You said yeah, no.
Yeah, no.
Talk about saffron.
I'm hearing it a lot more, too, which is annoying.
If you go to the right stores in ethnic parts of certain towns, you can get the best of the Persian saffron.
It is fantastic.
Now, is saffron an important spice?
Explain.
Yeah, if you're Spanish or Portuguese or Middle Eastern, yeah, it's a very important spice.
I mean, saffron rice, which is actually a staple here at the house, is quite tasty.
It's extremely expensive.
It's not caviar expensive, because you don't need much of it.
What does saffron cost?
I don't know.
It's a lot.
I mean, you buy this container of saffron for like 20 bucks or 25 bucks, and it has no weight.
There's just some saffron in there.
It's just like, I don't know what it costs a pound.
It's like outrageous.
Let's look it up.
I'm looking it up right now.
We shall consult the tree of knowledge.
Consult the book of knowledge.
Doesn't work.
What do you have on that?
I have...
I don't have anything.
I have $10,000 a pound.
That sounds about right.
So, $10,000 a pound, a ton being 2,000 pounds.
Yeah, do the math.
Help me.
Help me do the math.
10,000 times 2,000 is 20 million?
Let's see.
We got one, two, three, four.
Yeah, 10,000 times 2,000 is 20,000.
It looks more like 200 million to me.
Oh, crap.
200 million.
Oh, my God.
Hey, Charlie Prime, blow me.
200 million per ton.
They have...
They also do...
They also do certain kinds of very exotic basmati rice.
That's a really, anyone who likes food would like to, and rugs.
Yeah, rugs.
It's always, it's always the rugs.
Persian rugs have become more rare because they don't export as many.
But the prices have fallen through the floor.
I can't imagine what you probably get in the early days before they become repopularized because right now they're not popular.
They have a fantastic product.
These are the types of deals that are being done.
And there's no...
This Iran deal is happening.
It has nothing to do with...
Don't be afraid of nuclear.
Look, Iran is...
They're ruining Yemen.
Oh, by the way, let's go back.
It is $20 million because I realized I added one too many zeros.
I was thinking of $100,000.
It's still a lot of money.
It's a lot of money.
Yeah, it's $20 million.
Yeah, it's a lot of money.
So all these deals are being...
Everyone's jumping in on the deals.
Everybody.
Everybody.
Yeah, but us.
And we know about saffron.
How could we miss out on that boat?
All right, I have...
Let me see.
I do have one little Agenda 21, which you know now is Agenda...
Also, caviar.
It's another big caviar operation.
Oh, really?
And I think they've got the modern caviar type of...
Yeah, some of the best caviar.
You have some of the modern techniques where they can...
Where they can cut the fish open, scrape up the eggs, and then seal the fish.
And send it back?
Yeah, I think so.
I've heard about this.
Cool.
Yeah, they can cut it open, get the eggs out, and then the poor fish.
What the hell happened?
It was back in the water.
Well, I guess it better produce more eggs.
So the fish wakes up in a bathtub full of ice.
Right, your liver's gone.
This is...
Now, Agenda 21 has changed now to Agenda 2030.
I don't know if you followed this, but the big Agenda 21 groups all came together, and they're all hooting and hollering.
They now have their final goals, and it's no longer called Agenda 21.
It is Agenda 2030, which you will recall...
Your date.
My date.
I said it was going to be 2030 and nailed it.
Yep.
I'll give you that one.
Mm-hmm.
It's something going on there.
And so this is just a global warming perspective.
And this is from...
I always like pulling out some clips from people who are, I don't know, scientists...
University of Alabama's Earth System Science Center is the director of this.
His outlook on global warming I thought was worth a listen.
But what we do know, the two largest impacts on temperature are the El Ninos in the Pacific, as well as volcanic eruptions, which shade the Earth when they put the dust and smoke in the stratosphere.
So once you account for both of those, there's not a whole lot of warming in the planet.
The conclusion we have reached is that the global climate is not very sensitive to carbon dioxide.
And that can occur if the climate...
It responds in its many facets to release heat when you add the heat from carbon dioxide.
So carbon dioxide does allow more heat to be retained in the system, the climate system.
But the climate system also has many ways to allow an increased release of heat to space.
And so we think that's what's going on, that there are feedbacks that are allowing that heat to escape and not accumulate the way models have indicated.
Oh, so sorry about your models.
Ooh, that's nasty.
It's hopeless.
That guy's message will go nowhere.
No, but at least we played a little bit.
Well, we played for our audience.
Our producers all know this.
Just for the idea.
Oh, they'll be the one or two guys.
Oh, you know, you guys are full of crap.
I like the show.
I like the show, but you're nuts.
Yeah.
About the global warming.
I have, I think we're almost done here, but I do have, what do I have?
Oh, I think the president is going to make good on his promise because, of course, he'd never want to leave office without having closed Guantanamo Bay.
Yeah, Gitmo.
Right, got it.
Take it to the bank.
First thing he's going to do, by the way.
You can take that to the bank.
That's right.
If you want to have him go.
You can take that to the bank.
Go and close Gitmo.
And everyone's been saying, how come you have, you lie, you lie.
But it looks like Ash Carter, our new Secretary of Defense...
Hangdog Ash.
Hangdog Ash, who is a dick, looks like he's tasked with doing it and he's going to tell us how.
Ultimately, the facility surveys will provide me, the rest of the President's national security team, and Congress with some of the information needed to chart a responsible way forward...
And a plan so that we can close the detention facility at Guantanamo and this chapter in our history.
There are some who have been deemed eligible, and then there's an ongoing process of periodic review.
There are some who have been deemed eligible.
There have been others who have not been deemed eligible, and it's that population that we need to find a place to detain.
And if it's not Gitmo, then it's got to be somewhere else.
So this is the point.
And of course, the American human resource citizenry are so dumb.
Hey, he closed Gitmo, didn't he?
All he did is he moved it to Poland.
Or wherever.
The whole point was to release these prisoners who are being held unjustly.
The other thing, I think one of the reasons they want to do this now, finally, is because once they did the deal with Cuba, they're going to take that prison camp and turn it into like a resort or something that Americans can go there.
Oh, yeah.
Spend a bunch of money on it and the American part of it, and then you can get probably your visa right there stamped at the border.
And we could turn it into a theme park.
That'd be cool.
And the Cubans could come to that.
Yeah, and then you can stand on an apple crate with a hood on your head and with your nuts being shocked.
That's Abu Ghraib.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh, well.
Hey, no one will know the difference.
Just put it in there.
No one will know the difference.
Does this feel like...
Hi everybody, welcome to the Gitmo theme park!
The Gitmo experience!
Gitmo experience!
Put on your hood!
Woo!
Doggy, I love the Gitmo experience!
You got anything to leave us with, Bill?
I got one.
It was actually going to be part of a system of stories, but I'm just going to play the punchline.
But I'll explain the system.
So I'm watching the 3x3, and everyone knows that the market collapsed.
Now, did it collapse, or what happened?
It went into correction, 10%, finally, after four years.
Oh, it was a 10% correction overall, John?
So far.
Oh, wow.
I didn't realize it was that much.
Yes, it was good.
Is that the Dow 10-point correction?
Yes.
The S&P, I believe, has not made its full 10% yet.
Okay, good.
But this is supposed to happen once every year, and it hasn't happened for four years.
Well, it's a buying opportunity, is it not?
I think it will be when it bottoms out, which could be like Monday.
I don't know.
Okay.
But everyone has all these analysis, and the best analysis was a woman who was the strategic person from, I think, Schwab, and she was on NewsHour, and she had a very nice discussion.
Actually, we can play that.
It's a very good explanation of how to think about this.
Is this the NBC? No, the Stock Market Correction PBS. Gotcha.
Yeah.
For some answers to what's behind it all, we turn to Liz Ann Saunders, Chief Investment Strategist at Charles Schwab.
Liz Ann, welcome back to the program.
So this is, I'm reading, this is the worst week since 2011.
What is going on?
So what may on the surface seem like a bunch of disparate things, they're actually very interrelated.
You've got very weak growth in China, some data that came out today showing that part of their economy in contraction.
We've got the plunge in commodity prices, including oil prices, which ties back to the weakness in China.
So just global growth concerns, deflation concerns, and deflation is a fairly toxic environment because whether you're a consumer or an investor, if prices are continuing to go down, it halts activity.
And then And this is all brought up uncertainty regarding Fed policy and how Janet Yellen and the Federal Reserve is going to react to this global turmoil.
And we were, frankly, overdue for a correction.
It's been almost four years.
They normally happen every year.
So this has been a long span of very, very mild equity performance.
Well, when you say overdue for a correction, I did read one columnist in the New York Times today who said this is actually as bad as it seems.
He said it's a much-needed breather when some markets have been starting to look a little bubbly.
That was Neil Irwin.
Oh, I agree with that.
I think that corrections are healthy.
They bring sentiment.
It keeps complacency from becoming pervasive.
So I think corrections are healthy.
They're a cleansing process.
Now, whether we're at the end of this one, I'm not so sure.
We're not even quite there yet for the S&P 500, although the Dow is in correction territory, which is down 10% or more.
All right.
So that was probably the best of the group.
The big three didn't have anything like that.
They had some kinds of analysis.
But my absolute favorite was CBS. And this is classic network analysis.
There's nothing here.
Let's do some sort of a metaphor.
Let's do something.
And this is the dirty shirt clip.
The U.S. stock market and assets had become the cleanest dirty shirt in the hamper.
So everybody was wearing it because it's cleaner than the other dirty shirts.
But at some point you realize it's still a dirty shirt.
This week we realized it's a dirty shirt.
And so Apple dropped nearly 9% this week.
Wait a minute, didn't we...
Did you identify this dirty shirt thing previously, John?
I don't know.
Hold on.
Wait, dirty laundry?
Let me see.
Was it dirty laundry?
No, no, no.
It just seemed like a dumb analysis.
I distinctly remember something about a dirty shirt.
Why do I have dirty shirt in the stock market three times here?
Is that the same clip?
Let me see.
What is this?
The U.S. No, that's the same one you just had.
That's strange.
Dirty?
Maybe you had the...
Maybe we played this clip early.
I don't know.
I don't remember it.
I have dirty shirt stock markets.
No, that's all today.
What's the date on it?
No, no, that's all today.
I'm sorry.
I must be wrong.
I thought dirty laundry.
Man, I'm...
Well, maybe we've heard the same guy.
Well, you know what it all leads into.
What?
I heart laundry.
Oh, there you go.
That's the obvious answer.
Alright.
Well, I will have a report on the first test of the iHeart Laundry Tour vehicle on the next program.
And hopefully we'll have more information on what's happening with the migrants there.
The migrants.
A thousand a day.
Yeah.
This is a compounded problem.
Yeah, and once they get on the continent, because there's no passport control anymore, they just scatter.
That's right.
Scatter.
And then they try, of course, to get to Calais when they go to the UK. That's where they...
And I predict they'll be saying, dirty Greek migrants, because they're not...
Dirty Greek migrants.
Yeah, just to add some insult to injury.
Dirty, lazy Greek migrants.
Dirty, lazy Greek migrants, bastards.
We know what you're up to.
Hi, a couple of cool end-of-show clips coming up for you, and I look forward to talking to you on Thursday again, John.
Okay.
Sounds good.
All right.

We'll be back on Thursday right here on No Agenda.
This is just so beautiful.

CBS News contributor Michio Kaku is a physics professor.
Which means he knows nothing professionally, professorally, about climate.
At the City College of New York, good morning.
Morning.
So what's causing all this?
Well, the wacky weather could get even wackier.
Wow, that's when I perk up.
Holy crap, wouldn't he become a broadcaster at the morning zoo?
Hey, everybody, the wacky weather could get wet!
Woo!
Baby, yeah!
Come on, my daddy was a beetle!
I don't know why I said that, but that's what they do at the morning zoo.
My daddy was a beetle.
Here we go.
Jump!
Jump!
