Time Text
Wait a minute.
One of the symptoms of the drug is you see the cat?
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Sunday, September 6, 2015.
Time, once again, for your Gitmo Nation media assassination, episode 754.
This is no agenda.
Beta testing the I Love Laundry Tour facilities and broadcasting live via remote from Galveston Island and FEMA Region 6 in the drone star state in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where there's nobody on the freeway, the place is shut down.
I'm John C. DeVore.
There is something very wrong about working on Labor Day.
Yeah.
Well, and we were punished for it.
What do you mean?
We didn't get any donations.
Oh, well, we got some.
Well, mostly a few subscriptions, and some people that are probably not from this country.
Some foreigners.
Labor Day is only in the United States of Gitmo Nation, right?
As far as I know.
Yeah, yeah.
And then what does it celebrate?
Everyone else uses May Day, I think, as the celebration.
Which makes a lot more sense.
Well, anyway.
Shouldn't the whole world, all of socialist Gitmo Nation, celebrate on the same day?
May Day.
May Day.
They do it on May Day.
May 1st.
Right, but we don't have a day off on May Day in the U.S. It would be communist.
Oh, man.
Well, anyway, John, here on this Labor Day.
I suppose now, unfortunately, I went the whole summer till Labor Day, and now I'm now apparently...
I'm prohibited from wearing my white sport coat.
That's right.
My white linen sport coat.
And I'm not allowed to wear my white pumps after Labor Day.
That's a fact.
Your white pumps?
Yeah.
You can't wear white pumps after Labor Day.
I don't know anyone that wears white pumps.
Oh, man.
Oh, yeah.
Can't wear them now, whatever the case.
Who made up that stupid rule anyway?
Is it no white at all after Labor Day?
Something like that.
I mean, I was excoriated once for doing it.
Of course, I was back in New York, and the guy talked a little bit like this.
Really?
I don't think you should wear a white sports coat, John.
It's white linen, especially linen, no good.
So we're here on Galveston Island.
We are parked right on the beach.
With the Airstream.
Yeah, this is, I got really lucky.
Got a late minute, last minute cancellation so we're able to get into the RV park here.
Where's Tina the Keeper?
Tina the Keeper is, she's out with her laptop.
She doesn't want to be in the studio.
Oh, probably best.
I said, hey, you can hang out here.
It'll get a little warm.
It's a little toasty.
We had the air conditioning on 69 degrees all morning.
All the shades are drawn because it is unbelievably hot and humid outside.
Yes.
But anyway, new technology being used.
I have the Verizon Jetpack.
Oh, okay.
Which is the MiFi, and I didn't need to hook up the booster.
I'm getting 30 megabits down, about 15 megabits up, although around 7, 8 p.m., then it drops down to about 1 or 2 megabits, because I'm sure everyone's...
Netflix, exactly.
It's a ruination.
It really is.
Let's play this clip.
We had an outage and it became kind of a local big news.
I think this stuff should be more like national news because it seems to be going on more than it should.
Vandalism and fiber lines.
Okie dokie.
AT&T tells us that vandals are to blame for a massive communications outage tonight, affecting tens of thousands of people in five Northern California counties.
We get the developing news now from KTVU's Amber Lee.
She spoke with a state senator who described this as catastrophic.
Amber?
Heather, we're talking about a serious situation where 911 service is being disrupted and people in three counties, Humboldt, Mendocino and Del Norte, have no phone or internet service.
AT&T says a fiber line in this rural area filled with vineyards in Mendocino County was deliberately cut by someone earlier today.
We spoke with FBI before AT&T determined it was an act of vandalism.
The FBI is interested in tracking Something that appears to be intentional sabotage.
On this outage map on the internet, the orange circle marks the impacted areas.
A small part of northern Sonoma County, southern Lake County, and all of Humboldt, Mendocino, and Del Norte counties.
This means no phone service, cell phone, or landline, and no internet.
It's put the public's safety at risk, and it's also impacted the day-to-day lives.
Credit card transactions, We're good to go.
AT&T is the largest of several carriers affected.
AT&T said in a written statement, quote, we are making progress on repairing the damage.
Vandalism is a serious matter that affects public safety and the community at large.
Here in the Bay Area, there's been a series of 14 deliberate attacks on fiber lines in the past year.
It raises the question whether this latest act of vandalism is connected and points to a need for a backup fiber line in the North Coast that many urban areas do have.
There's no second line.
And so when there is a catastrophic outage, like what we've seen today, the public's safety is put at risk.
I really like this report.
I don't know exactly what it looked like visually, but to have someone, say, going like this...
Well, really, vandalism is really quite a problem.
I don't understand.
What is that?
I don't know why they couldn't fix that.
That's very strange.
We all know that this is not vandalism.
We know what it really is.
Squirrel!
We know that squirrels cause this.
It could be squirrels, but these are underground lines.
Oh, okay.
Well, then it's probably not squirrels.
Hmm.
Go first.
Go first.
That's right.
Go first.
Of course, it again shows the unintended consequences of technology.
All rely on it.
Don't have any cash.
Whatever you do, don't carry cash in your wallet.
So little mom and pop stores can't function because they've become dependent on the crap that they've set up for them.
Exactly.
It's ridiculous.
This is the beginning of the end.
Yeah, well, I think we've been saying that for a while.
I hope it begins.
Well, I'll keep saying it.
Yeah.
He was right!
Anyway, I'm pretty pleased with this setup.
Yeah, well, you should be pleased while it lasts.
Yeah, that's true.
So Galveston Island, have you ever been out this way?
No, I have never been in the islands out there.
I've always wanted to go to Galveston because it's supposed to be a very quaint town.
It's pretty.
It has a very kind of Savannah, Georgia feel to it with the architecture.
Right, it's got that Old South style.
Yes, and we were walking along this seawall, which has its own story.
They built a seawall here after the hurricane of, I think, 1899?
Something like that.
And it destroyed all of Galveston.
20,000 people died.
The whole city raised up like 17 feet.
It was disastrous.
And we found this out because you walk along what is now where they built the seawall in 1912 or 1917.
That's when it finished.
They built the seawall, which didn't stop Hurricane Ike either, as it swept away a lot of things.
When was Ike?
Was that 2005 or something?
Must have been later than that.
So they have all these benches, which are with tiles, painted tiles, and it tells the history and the story, and then it shows what fish are there.
It's like some community project.
It's really beautiful.
And we're looking at one of these, and a guy on a bike, he rolls up and he says, oh, you know, they have to redo those every year.
I said, why?
Well, vandals.
People chop it up, take pieces away.
So he was giving us this little backgrounder, and his name is Ray.
He says, how long have you been here?
He says, oh, I'm here because it's easier to get my social security disability checks.
I'm like, oh, here it comes.
The minute he said that, oh, okay.
Let's see how his pitch goes.
And his pitch was, you know, I knew he was going to ask for money, but I'm waiting.
I say, okay.
And the guy, he's not, you know, scroungy or anything.
His bike's reasonably nice.
I mean, he's talking about, you know, well, you know, I fell off, I was doing pipelines and fell 17 feet and broke 18 bones, and, you know, that wasn't the problem, you know, as an alcoholic, and, you know, when you're a real alcoholic, you know, you just shit blood all the time.
Like, wow, the pitch is fantastic!
This is really good.
He said, oh yeah.
And just blood is pooping out.
I was like, okay, Ray, nice, yeah.
But of course, the only real problem I had was going to jail for 10 years.
Like, oh.
Well, a cop slammed my daughter's head into the car and I put a pistol against his head.
I said, alright, well, nice talking to you, Ray.
And we're walking away.
He's like, hey, by the way, I'm just thinking, how much, Ray?
It was one of the best pitches I've ever seen.
Really good.
A panhandler on a bicycle.
A panhandler on a bike, poop and blood.
Fabulous, fabulous.
And then the report came in this morning.
If you're headed to the beach this weekend, you may want to avoid Galveston's West End.
All the island's beaches west of Seven Mile Road tested positive for high bacteria levels.
Bacteria levels are lower along the seawall.
The beaches have lower moderate bacteria levels.
Swimming is not recommended on the beaches.
Nice.
Although, we walked along the beach.
I mean, it's beautiful here.
The water's nice.
We have a nice temperature.
Contaminated beaches here, too, now.
Yeah, sure.
I mean, there's always something going on.
There's always some contamination.
And hammerhead sharks.
What are those things?
We never had hammerheads.
There's another report.
I didn't clip it, but there's another report in Southern California of a hammerhead.
Really?
I thought those were kind of native to Florida.
Yeah.
This is the second or third report of Hammerheads.
It's a good, cool-looking shark.
Oh, yeah.
For sure.
Okay.
Also, just to let you know, this works so well.
I had cable here.
I got cable from these guys.
I can watch CNN, which, of course, is painful.
The full work continues.
I could do this full-time, John.
Who needs a house?
This is what I've been trying to get you into.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
I've been trying to push you in this direction.
You're kind of succeeding.
Since you're just renting anyway.
Yeah, but I think just put all my crap in a storage bin.
And you don't have much crap.
You're not a collector.
Well, no.
I've lost all my crap in two divorces.
It's a good way to get rid of your crap.
You should try it.
Well, I think fire hazard would be another way.
So, yeah, we didn't have a meet-up or anything down here.
It's the Labor Day weekend, so this is more just...
This is like the last beta test before I should go out on the road.
But I did receive from our I Love Laundry friends some example decals that we would use for the I Love Laundry tour on the Airstream.
I need a name for this thing.
For the Airstream?
Yeah.
Oh, the Airstream needs a name.
Yeah, it needs a name.
Yeah, I guess it does.
What do you think?
Lucy Betty?
Flirty Laundry?
I thought Dakota?
I immediately think of Dakota Fanning.
It just doesn't work for me.
Because to me it's more like a DC-3, which is an aluminum aircraft.
How about name it after one of the big bombers, one of the B-29s?
What were they called?
I know the bombs had names.
Did the bombers?
No, no.
All the bombers were named.
Okay.
I can't think of a name.
The Enola Gay.
Enola Gay.
Done!
Enola Gay.
It says it all, doesn't it?
Yeah, perfect.
Well, I guess we're done.
Enola Gay.
And we can get a nice little decal with that.
Nice.
Yeah, perfect.
A bomb in the back.
Well, you're going to be in the midday night or you're going to rent a very few Japanese.
I wouldn't worry about it.
No.
Nola Gay.
Okay.
Okay.
That's good.
That's good.
You can always change the name.
I asked Tina, I said, what do you think?
What do you think of?
She said, well, when I see it, it reminds me of a Chipotle burrito.
Okay.
We're not going to ask you.
The flying burrito.
Enola burrito?
No.
The flying burrito.
Please.
Ha ha ha.
In script, it'd be beautiful.
Adam Curry in the Flying Burrito.
Wait, where's my jingles?
Where's my sound effects, man?
Here it is.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's Adam Curry in the Flying Burrito.
We have somebody do a jingle, I'm sure.
But I like Enola Gay better than Flying Burrito, if you don't mind.
Either one is good for me.
It'll be Tina the Keeper who picks the name, I can assure you.
Well, why not?
If I'm going to be in it.
Oh, that's not the voice.
I can't do her voice.
I've never heard her.
That's not the voice.
It's a generic girlfriend voice.
Let me get the red book out and start a new page.
Which show is this?
754?
This is 754, yeah.
It is September 6th, 2015.
I've got a number of...
It seems like there's a lot of scripts rolling around.
Maybe I'll start with this, with the Black Lives Matter.
Um...
And a reminder that the Smith-Mund Act, it's maybe time to just tell people about this again.
The Smith-Mund Act, which I think was passed in the early 70s, the whole point of that act, which became Law of the Land, was to forbid...
The use of propaganda techniques against the citizens of Gitmo Nation, United States.
And this was repealed kind of covertly in the 2013 National Offense Authorization Act, saying, well, you know, with the Internet and everything, it's unavoidable that our propaganda, which we, of course...
Employ and deploy against other citizens of the world.
You know, it's probably going to reach some Americans.
So we might as well get rid of it.
It's outdated.
An arachnism.
What is it?
What is it?
When something's outdated, old.
What are you doing?
Are you on the show still?
Yes.
What are you doing?
I need to go turn something off.
It's sour.
It's past date.
But what is the word?
Arachnic?
Arachnic?
Whatever.
What's the word for arachnic?
I don't know.
Just keep talking.
We know what you mean.
Okay.
I didn't even know what I was saying.
I was trying so hard.
You've gone into the Smith-Munt act.
Ah, yes.
Okay.
All right.
There we go.
Yes.
I'm sorry.
You want to say something?
Yeah.
I'm going to take exception to this.
Okay.
I'm of the opinion now that the Smith-Munt Act was repealed because it wasn't working because we never stopped propagandizing our people.
Sure.
But once you actually remove that, then it's a lot easier because you don't have to worry about maybe being caught.
Now, did you see this so-called viral video from this Marine veteran Michael Whaley?
No.
Okay, let me play that for you first.
Now, this only became known to me as a viral video after I saw it on CNN. So, Ben, I'm checking the tweeters and the Facebooks, and I had not seen this.
No one had sent this to me, but apparently everybody knows this Marine who did this iPhone video, which went viral.
This Black Lives Matter movement only promotes racism.
And now they're encouraging black people to go kill white people because they want white people to feel what we felt 400 years ago.
All lives matter.
That police officer, they got killed by that black man because that black man listened to what y'all was saying by going out and killing white people.
That police officer's life mattered.
That nine-year-old girl in Ferguson, Missouri, that got shot in the head while she was doing her homework in the drive-by shooting that none of y'all protested.
Her life mattered.
Then y'all slammed on me.
Y'all called me Uncle Tom and all that type stuff.
Hell, whatever.
Man, take this out.
I had drill instructors in boot camp that had better insults than y'all.
I got to remember that one.
Hey man, I had drill instructors in boot camp who had better insults than y'all.
Chat room.
The reason why I have a lot of black supporters, I'm going to tell you the God honest truth.
The reason why I have a lot of black supporters is because black people can't accept the truth about themselves.
Black people meant to the truth.
It's like them snitching on themselves.
And black people have this no snitching rule.
They're going to deny until they die.
Y'all only teaching black people to hate white people.
And now y'all encouraging black people to throw their lives down a drain by taking away somebody else's life?
Sad.
I'm going to pray for y'all.
Okay, so the idea of this guy's video is this Black Lives Matter, but apparently it's gotten to the point where Black Lives Matter or outgrowth from the movement is being used to rile black Americans to shoot cops, particularly white cops.
And this has been pushed a little too hard for my comfort level, and we know that the specific groups who disturbed Bernie Sanders' speech, who had the backstage talk with Hillary Clinton, that this group is partially, but in a majority, funded by the Open Society Institute from George Soros.
So this is not just a movement, an organic movement.
There's real funding from a real a-hole behind it.
And this guy, he seems genuine, but what he's doing, on one hand, also, to me, kind of seems to propagate more racist tendencies.
And so he's on CNN, and just listen to the words he uses.
He says something in the beginning here, which I'll roll back to after we listen to him explain what has to happen and what is really going on with black violence, black American violence.
Let's take it.
I'm putting the spotlight in Chicago because this goes out to the people in Chicago.
I care about y'all because it's a lot.
Let me ask you a question right now.
If you say I'm putting the spotlight on Chicago, doesn't that sound like a briefing?
Like, okay, here's what we're going to do.
We're going to go with this viral video.
We'll put the spotlight first on Chicago.
You know what I mean?
The whole thing seems like scripted.
Yeah.
Let's take it.
I'm putting the spotlight in Chicago because this goes out to the people in Chicago.
I care about y'all because it's a lot of crime that goes on Chicago every single day that doesn't get talked about in the mainstream media.
And they lies matter.
It's too much killing that's going on.
And the Black Lives Matter movie, they only protest when a white officer kills a black person.
And to be honest, the mainstream media causes a lot of racism.
They instigate it because in the mainstream media, they put white officer kills on a black man.
It instigates racism.
Now, if they were to put police officer kills on a civilian, you wouldn't know if that person was white, black, and nine times out of ten, people that's watching probably wouldn't give a damn.
Sorry for saying that.
I'm just being honest.
So, that part makes sense.
We know that's true.
The mainstream media is propagating this.
So this guy is not for real.
Because when he talks about this stuff, I think it really just makes it worse.
And then it turns out he's really coming from a very strong religious background.
I'm like, maybe he's been programmed somehow.
It's just...
I want to believe that there's these voices that are against this crazy, socialist, Soros-funded group who indeed are really, I think, making things worse.
But when you listen to them, something's just, you know, it's rubbing me the wrong way, and I wanted to get your opinion.
What do you mean about the no-snitch rule?
That was the first I'd heard something about that.
This is your explanation for why you think black people in the inner cities don't speak up more about black-on-black crime?
The no snitch rule, you know for a fact, you probably heard of it before, so I know this ain't your first time hearing it.
You heard the no snitch rule.
That's better than no snitch rule.
Now, why would he say that to Megyn Kelly?
I know you heard about it.
Because you got the briefing.
You know what I mean?
Doesn't that sound strange?
It does sound strange the way you put it.
But in this context, it was new.
Okay, but yeah, how it is is that it's telling the truth.
Black-on-black crime happens every day.
So if a black person go kill another black person, they're going to deny it until they die.
They're not going to admit the truth.
And some people don't like admitting the truth.
Can we stop with the F's instead of T-H? I'm tired of this.
What's the truth?
When did this happen?
When did this become okay to talk like that?
True, because they don't like that.
Like, I had, it hurts me to say right there, it hurts me as a black man to say right there, I had to tell the truth about my own people, but I did it because I care about my people.
Jesus' own people turned on him because he spoke the truth, and they had him crucified, but at the end of the day, he loved them.
So I love every single one of y'all.
And this violence that's going on has to be stopped.
This racism that's going on has to be stopped because black people and white people, we're not enemies.
We have somebody else that's behind closed doors that's actually pulling the strings that's actually causing a lot of racism here in America.
Now, I'm liking that.
I'm like, yes, we know who's pulling the strings.
Part of the strings are being pulled by Soros because he's literally funding the Black Lives Matter movement.
So, okay, I'm still on board, but it's bugging me.
Look at Martin Luther King.
Will Martin Luther King want people to ride in Ferguson?
No, he will not.
Will Martin Luther King want people to ride in Baltimore?
No.
Martin Luther King had a dream.
Now it's time for us to turn that dream into a reality.
I don't care if I die trying, but guess what?
I got my kids that are going to carry on my legacy.
And if I can't make that dream happen, then they're going to make it happen.
It starts with us.
It starts with education.
We need to be teaching our kids as growing up.
To overcome diversity, to accept criticism for all races, and to love one another, not because of the color they skin.
And the Black Lives Matter movement, they only instigate, they're encouraging African Americans to throw away their lives.
For what?
To take care of something that happened years ago that Most white people this generation was not a part of that they could not control.
Understood.
Let's not look at the negative things.
I know.
Listen, now, Megyn Kelly is trying to get rid of him, and she starts with, understood, okay, you know, shut up.
The history, we're going to look at the negative things.
Let's take those negative things and turn it into positive, because history tends to repeat itself.
I got it.
I got it.
Michael, thank you.
So let's make...
So let's make a change to history.
And I'm promoting this All Lives Matter movement because everybody's life matters because I care about everybody.
I love all y'all.
I hear you.
And hopefully you won't receive any...
Oh yeah, listen to this.
Now she's saying hopefully you won't be shot is what she's saying.
You know, for being an Uncle Tom, like he said in his video, I really hope you...
But then listen to how he ends it.
I hear you, and hopefully you won't receive any hateful feedback.
We appreciate you coming on, telling us your perspective tonight.
All the best to you, and thank you for your service.
Oh, you're welcome.
Oh, you're welcome.
Like it was a gig.
Yeah, he's done.
Yeah, so the propaganda here is, this guy's gotta go.
It sounds almost like a setup.
I don't know, man.
You know, I never caught any of this, and I don't think I missed a damn thing.
I mean, you might as well put Jenna Marbles on.
Well, how about Montel Williams, then?
What about Montel Williams?
Let's put him on.
God, why?
With Don Lemon.
Because, you know, we've got to have more of this.
The rhetoric is being ratcheted up way too high in Black Lives Matter, and we ought to ratchet it back down and come up with solutions.
But he says freedom of speech.
I'm not going to limit people's freedom of speech.
No, but I think what we should do, if I'm the person who controls a rally, I should be able to determine the tenor of my rally.
And if I can't do that, I might ask you to not attend the next time.
Why can't I do that?
Do you think that we have reached a tipping point in this country when it comes to the mistrust between police officers and citizens and African Americans in this country?
I'm so sorry I'm going to say this.
People get really angry with me when I do say this.
In the last...
Four years.
The stats bear it out.
The truth of the matter is, right now in the country, the single leading cause of death to African-American males between the ages of 15 and 34 is homicide.
And that's not committed by cops.
Ninety-three percent of this are committed by us, on us.
So, at some point in time, I would love to see this whole movement turn to Black Lives Matter, hell yeah, in my neighborhood, to me.
Why am I not rallying every morning and saying to other people who will shoot five people tonight in Baltimore, seven people in Chicago, ten in Detroit, stop that.
You point the finger in the wrong direction all the time.
The penguins coming back might not be the ones you want to say.
This is like a war of cliches.
Yeah, it is.
I'm not getting anything from this.
I mean, this has been undercurrent with the Black Lives Matter thing almost since its inception.
And I just think the whole thing is winding down.
Well, unless we have some kind of event, which is what I'm a little concerned about.
Well, the events are going to be difficult.
I mentioned this in the newsletter.
I don't know if I did or not, maybe.
Yeah, I did.
I kind of glanced off it.
Because we're at September 15th is the six-week cycle.
Right.
So there could be something that happens.
But because of the way I'm watching these, again, three by three, these news networks.
Yes, three by three.
three i mean they're right this as we get to this holiday uh which you know we're in the middle of it and actually working uh as we get to this holiday they they consolidate what they're going to cover and the thing that this seems to be getting the most i guess interest are these heartbreaking borderline pathetic uh just ridiculous refugee stories yes which are Completely clouding the news coverage.
And I don't see anything getting any headway other than these stories.
And they're perfect for the American public because they're not here someplace else.
Oh, my God.
Americans don't normally care about international news.
We don't even, we don't understand.
We don't have passports.
We don't know.
What do we know?
We very rarely leave our state.
There's more than America?
There's more out there than America?
You made the longest trip the average American will make in the next five years.
But we do get suckered into these sorts of stories, and the news media, when they pick up on it, they just go with it.
And in fact, I've got one clip here, which I'm listening to this clip because I do venture away from the 3x3, but I hear this, and this is covered by none of the networks.
In fact, nobody's covering this.
This is the clip WTF Guatemala.
Oh, yes.
Okay.
After a massive public uprising, Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina has resigned.
His resignation came just hours after a judge approved the Attorney General's arrest warrant for him.
This follows Congress' surprising unanimous decision to strip the president of immunity from prosecution, bowing to popular pressure.
Prosecutors said Perez Molina will be charged with an illicit association taking bribes and customs fraud.
He's also being investigated for money laundering.
We'll go to Guatemala City to speak with journalist Alan Nairn after headlines.
The Obama administration has secured enough...
Do we need to continue?
No, you're done.
I must have clipped the whole thing instead of the selection.
Okay.
But this is pretty nearby.
It's just two countries away.
We've got Mexico, then Guatemala.
It's not that far from here.
And I'm telling you, none of the networks that even mention it, ABC, NBC, CBS, don't even mention it.
But they got these correspondents over there, you know, giving us these hair-raising stories about the pathetic refugees from Syria.
And those are long segments.
Those are whole blocks.
Oh, yeah.
You know the kid, the dead kid on the beach?
Well, now you want to bring that up?
I do have some thoughts about the poor dead kid on the beach.
Pathetic.
Well, do you know where the kid is actually from?
No.
So the kid's a Kurd.
It's the Kurd kid.
I did know that.
Yeah.
He'd been living in Turkey for the past three years.
Was actually running away from Turkey.
Of course, if you're a Kurd and you're in Turkey, this is probably not a good thing.
I haven't seen that reported.
I think I saw it reported.
Oh, okay.
So, yes, it's mainly Sirians.
The thing that kind of got to me was they had one of the networks had gone back to the story.
They've revisited this dead kid a number of times because it really is a winner.
Yeah, it's a beautiful shot.
I remember when I said it looked like the kid was positioned the way he was on the beach.
With his hands to the side, yeah.
It was...
Photographers are known to do that.
Yeah.
In more situations, especially.
So they had a whole feature on the dead kid, and it's the only way to...
And let's be honest, the dead kid, I mean, that's ratings right there.
That's some great...
And I want to remind everybody, no way, it was too jarring and shocking for any news outlet to show the Virginia TV shooter's own footage that he put on the face page...
Because, oh, people can't handle seeing someone shot at, yet dead kid on the beach everywhere.
What is the rules in media?
What is okay to show and what is not okay to show?
I think it's okay to show something if it's for some propaganda measure.
I'm not going to argue this.
So I'm watching one of the...
I wish I noted the network, but it's one of them.
And they could have all done this.
They're pretty much all on board with the dead kid.
And they have...
I'm sorry.
That sounds callous.
It does!
Hey, we have any more dead kid photos?
We got the slot in the B-block.
What's going on?
There's no doubt in my mind about it, because they do a special on him.
Hold on, we need a dead kid shot in the B-block.
They show all of his boyhood photos.
They got a picture of him in school.
They got a picture of him playing.
They got a picture of him with his brother.
They got a picture of him with his dead brother.
They got a picture of him with a family.
They got all these pictures.
I'm thinking, where do these pictures come from?
Yeah, it's magic.
Where did these pictures come from?
Were these people, why weren't the pictures washed away?
Why weren't the, you know, did they have the pictures with them?
How did they keep them from getting wet?
Because they're all in this boat.
I mean, the whole thing, and then they go this whole, they show the dead kid, and they show the pictures of him when he was a little, I mean, this is what you do in an American setting where you have somebody gets shot, and some gunman comes and guns down a bunch of people, and they always show the cute little cheerleader who got killed.
Yeah.
And then they show the pictures of her.
She's a beautiful, gorgeous cheerleader.
And she shows her having fun with the family and at the barbecue and all these things.
And then there's a picture of her regular, her headshot, Hollywood headshot.
And then she's dead.
This was the same sort of reporting, but it was this dead kid who had really captured the imagination of the public.
But this, you know, now I'm thinking, jeez, I mean...
Well, the migrant crisis is now being used for everything, all the way to man-made climate change.
In fact, let's take a listen to...
So I'm listening to the BBC and Emma Thompson, who I now realize is a stooge for the warmest.
She's a green piecer and she is...
I don't know how old she is, but she's gorgeous and extremely well-spoken and this is who you want to be your spokesperson.
You find an idiot...
Beautiful Hollywood idiot that is well-spoken and will do what she's told and will throw pitches out there.
And you get somebody who just presents well.
And you give her a script.
Give her a script?
In her case, I don't even think she needed a script.
She's all in.
It's not like she's not sincere.
Of course, if you fake sincerity, you've got it made.
What's that old saying that somebody said once about acting?
So here she is, Emma Thompson, and he's talking about the shell, we've got to stop drilling.
Shell's a horrible company.
We've tried to negotiate with them, but they lie.
There are currently thousands of people drowning in the Mediterranean.
What odd timing to go and talk about Arctic and oil and The environment as opposed to, you know, what Britain has to do about the refugee crisis.
No, I'm really glad that you brought that up because, of course, it's profoundly connected.
Our refugee crisis, which, let me tell you, if we allow climate change to go on as it's going, the refugee crisis we have at the moment will look like a tea party.
Compared to what's going to happen in a few years' time.
Because if we allow climate change to continue, there are going to be entire swathes of the Earth that will become uninhabitable.
And where are those people going to go?
Oh my God.
Where do we think they're going to go?
Oh man.
First of all, when anyone says climate change, I'll agree.
Yes, climate change is real.
Climate change is real.
Climate changes.
This is so disgusting that people are no longer even saying man-made climate change.
You know, they're just spouting things that, in essence, are true.
But, the way that...
Did you see that cartoon that was floating around?
Like, this will explain the Syria refugee crisis in five minutes.
Did you see this by any chance?
No.
Oh, man.
You gotta look it up.
So, it's a cartoon, and then it's, you know, it's like, okay, here's what happened.
And it boils down to...
Is it a regular cartoon or is it that guy drawing all that stuff?
No, no.
It's just a regular...
If you do a Google search right now, you'll find it.
Say, Syria crisis in five minutes cartoon, and you'll find it.
I'll explain while I look at it.
No, I'm not going to look at it because I'm not going to slow down the stream.
Okay.
Oh, I see.
But what it boils down to is climate change.
Yeah, because they had a drought and everyone wanted to move away.
Oh, and then at the same time there was a civil war.
Oh, come on!
And it's a well-done cartoon.
So I didn't delve into the background and who did it and where it came from, but it's, you know.
So, yeah, this is being used for all different, you know, agendas, particularly with this kid.
Now...
In the EU, in the Starfleet Command, there is the...
Remember the guy, Frans Timmermans, who...
We talked about him.
He's the Dutch politician.
He was the foreign minister.
First, he was the adjunct foreign minister.
And this is when I met him on the radio show that I did in the Netherlands.
When we started No Agenda, I was doing the show at Arrow Classic Radio.
And that was the one that after I talked about, you know...
Pedophilia.
The pedophiles in the government.
They took me off the air.
And burned down the station.
Pretty much toasted everything.
Ruined lives and careers.
Now you're living in a trailer.
When he was the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, we had this guy on the show.
And he said to me, he took me aside and he said, you know, what you guys are doing here is really important.
This is very good.
And I found it to be so much strange because he's a Bilderberg attendee.
He's highly ranked and now he's like the number 2.5 guy in the EU Starfleet Command.
And also, I don't know if you remember me telling the story that at the time I was flying my little plane back to the UK, and the Prime Minister and his entourage were at the Rotterdam Airport at the private jet terminal.
And I saw Frans Timmermans says, hey, and he immediately went, oh, come on, I'll introduce you to the Prime Minister.
You remember that?
And the Prime Minister's going like, oh, it's so cool, I recognize you from TV. I'm like, I'm a moron.
Anyway, so this guy, then he says something, or he kind of goes on a little bit of...
A short tangent here in the EU Parliament about the migrants, and if you interpret this in the way that when he said to me, you guys are doing really important work, this is really good, but he kind of said that on the slide, maybe there is some undermining going on here.
Just listen to what he said.
Migrants stranded on the Greek island of Kos made their feelings clear as senior EU officials arrived to discuss how to handle the worsening crisis.
The first Vice President, Franz Timmermans, and the EU Migration Commissioner, Dmitrys Avramopoulos, also discussed plans to create a so-called hotspot to enable quick identification and assess people's needs.
Cost is at the forefront, but cost cannot be left alone with this problem.
It is a global challenge that requires European solutions, that requires European solidarity.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are facing a moment of truth in European history.
Greece has asked the EU for about 700 million euros to build infrastructure to shelter refugees and migrants arriving daily on its shores from conflict areas such as Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan.
Somehow when he said that, knowing that he's a big fan of the Queen and he has traveled with the Queen, well of course now it's the King, but with the Queen of the Netherlands, when he says it's a global problem that needs a European solution, this is the moment of truth for Europe, I had this flash that said, this guy is part of the process of undermining the EU. That this is intended to break apart the Union.
First we start with the Schengen, with the borderless countries.
That is now under severe attack.
Then we want to shove all the shitty migrants to the countries we hate the most.
And Germany is being really smart.
Germany is a country that they're dying.
They have no young people, so they need to bring young people in.
What better than to bring in the highly educated Syrians who speak English for sure, who are capable of living in any country and being...
Upstanding citizens can fill the void that Germany needs, and let's send all the crazy ones to countries like Poland, where it's 99% Christianity.
Let's send some Muslims in there.
I think we're going to see attacks.
We're going to see whether it's...
Truthful or not, we're going to see some really bad things happening in a number of EU countries.
Sure.
Now, I picked up this clip from, I think it was the BBC, and it was, this is a black African...
Somalian type, very dark, black African.
He speaks decent English, African style, with the accent.
So at the end of it, I may have to translate what he said at the end, because it's very interesting.
But because of Germany making it clear that it's welcoming, apparently it's gone overboard into the, I guess, into the infrastructure, if there is such a thing, of the refugees of all sorts.
And it's become a commonplace amongst the way they think.
Just listen to this guy describe Germany and it's his target where he wants to go to.
I think there is no country better than Germany because the chances that they are going to give you in Germany, I don't think there is any country that can give you these chances.
Like give you food, shelter, clothing and education to be yourself as a human being.
I think that is the only thing that human being needs in life.
And these German people are ready to give it to you and support you so that you can be something or someone in life.
So I think they are the best thing on this earth.
Yeah, this is a travel commercial.
They are the best thing on this earth.
That's what he said at the end.
Jawohl, we are the best thing on this earth, Franz.
Well, I have some stats here about Germany.
Typically, newcomers, and watch, you're going to see these words, newcomers.
They're the newlings, or the newbies.
Newcomers is a good one.
Newcomers.
They get housing, which is earmarked for asylum seekers, free meals, clothing, health care, household support, monthly spending money, about 143 years a person.
Yes!
And after three months, they get, you know, I guess what's called restricted work opportunities.
No other country is doing this.
And the UK is using this to convince their citizens to get out of the union.
Look at this.
We don't want these crazy migrants.
And I'm sure...
Britain will get some nutty ones who will chop, you know, try and rip someone's head off or whatever.
Decapitate, yeah.
But the religious part, that got a crazy, it was a crazy story, I'm seeing how to find it, that a lot of these migrants, which we'll just call refugees, are here at Berlin Church, Muslim refugees converting in droves.
Really?
Really?
They're converting to Catholicism in droves?
Well, Germany is not a Catholic country.
Christian.
Yeah.
Sorry, Christian.
Christianity.
Yes, they're converting to...
Here, Zanubi Carpenter from...
That's from Shiraz, from Iran, really.
Why do they highlight him?
It's all...
The whole thing's a clusterfuck.
Here's a...
Here's a little report about the welcoming open arms for the newlings of Germany.
The first trainloads of migrants travelling from Hungary via Austria have arrived in the German city of Munich.
They are an initial wave of thousands of mainly Syrian nationals who were stranded in Hungary before being allowed to leave on buses for Austria.
Cheers rang out from the many Germans who had gathered at the station to greet them Oh, see, the Germans are happy.
Every other country in the EU is like, oh, shitty migrants, get out of here, and Germany's happy.
Hand out sweets and refreshments.
The Bavarian authorities have been preparing for their arrival.
Everything has been arranged in an orderly and structured manner.
The regional government, humanitarian organizations, and the police are working together.
We're taking care of everything.
We all have to stand together.
This is a task for all Germany and the responsibility of all Germans.
The country is expecting around 10,000 people to arrive, with Chancellor Angela Merkel setting no limit on the number of migrants who can seek asylum.
The initial care is administered here at the station or somewhere else.
They'll be provided with food and drinks and medical checks.
They will then be They'll be taken to the shelters where they'll be registered and where they can stay for the moment.
Arabic-speaking translators are on hand to assist in the registration process.
The scenes in Munich are in stark contrast to the chaos and aggression seen in Hungary.
Shit, man, I want to go to Germany.
Sounds like a good deal.
It does.
What is up with this?
Is this truly because they know that they need to freshen up their population?
Unless they're going to eat these people, I have no idea what the deal is.
I like the whole registration thing from the train, though.
That's kind of cool.
These guys are good at that.
Bring them into the box, guys.
Put this patch on.
It'll be fine.
And I'm still waiting for Angelina Jolie, and then, like clockwork, I got this video, and I was all excited, and she was talking in the UN. Did you see this?
No.
Okay, so this started doing the rounds, and people were sending it to me.
Oh, look, there she is.
Nearly four million Syrian refugees are victims of a conflict they have no part in.
Yet they are stigmatized, unwanted, and regarded as a burden.
So I'm here for them, because this is their United Nations.
International humanitarian law prohibits torture, starvation, the targeting of schools and hospitals.
It goes on for a little bit longer, but then I realized this is from April.
This is not new, but it was kind of sent around as, oh, look, here's Angelina Jolie.
No, where is she?
Where is she for reals now, peoples?
She's having a blood transfusion.
They're swapping out her organs.
I have no idea.
But she is missing in action.
So is Clooney.
Clooney, ever since he married the lawyer, he's just been off the radar.
I think they cancelled his card.
I think he bailed, and I think that she's there to try to get him to join back up.
Well, it's not working.
No.
You know where he met her?
I think if you...
I might remember if you tell me.
Actually in Lake Cuomo.
At a party.
At one of his parties?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
So that's how the CIA does it, huh?
I guess.
They send the hot chick down.
Well, that's what the Economic Hitman book discussed.
I mean, that's how Perkins got reeled in to some hottie.
Why not?
Some super hottie comes in and she bats her eyes a few times and sweet talks him.
Next thing you know, the guy's a spy.
Well, she better hurry up.
Well, yeah, something's amiss.
She better get on the stick and get that working.
As it were.
And, you know, right along the lines of Clooney, where is the icon changing?
Where is the big benefit?
Well, have you noticed this?
What is the one variable that is missing for the icon changing?
One variable.
Well, we need the iconic image.
Are you just...
Are you snapping your dentures or are you doing a Jeopardy time clock?
It's hard to...
I'm doing the time clock.
I don't have dentures, thank you.
They could have used the kid?
Maybe the dead kid?
Tell me, what's the variable?
What's missing?
Hillary Clinton.
And your tech experts.
That all took place while she was Secretary of State.
Ah, yeah.
Hmm.
And once she left, all that stuff ended.
All that stuff ended, yeah.
And there's certainly no grassroots movement, although the Europeans are all in on the dead kid.
The face page exploded with the, no, it's real now, look at the dead kid, dead kid.
That poor dead kid.
Yeah.
You can't help it.
Yeah.
Could have been a doll for all you know at this point.
Yeah.
Okay, I've got a little bit before we go into our thank yous for the two executive producers that we got.
Yeah.
This is not going to be a long segment.
I have a new idea for a show.
Or not a show, a new idea for a segment.
Ooh, okay.
A segment?
Is this for which block?
This will be for the B block, which precedes the donation executive producer thing.
I believe that's the B block, which we're in now.
Perhaps the end of the B block.
And this segment is what the heck is going on?
Tell me what they're doing.
We need to work on the name.
Yes, we need to work on the name.
Here's the idea.
I'll give you the idea and then you can work on the name.
Tell me what the heck is going on with John C. DeMorack.
Yeah, something like that.
That would be good.
Now, I'm going to play a short clip, and you're going to tell me...
What the hell is going on.
What the hell is going on.
Okay, all right, all right.
All right, here is George Monbiot, who is a communist from The Guardian, who is now, I guess, an environmentalist.
I didn't know this, but maybe he's always been an environmentalist, but he's one for sure in this clip.
There's the BBC Monbiot and the squirrel.
Hit it.
Okie dokie.
Right, and the good news is...
And this is the point at which if you fear that you may be a little bit delicate, then you probably should look away briefly.
There are millions of squirrels, rabbits...
Wait a minute.
I don't think there's enough context in the clip for me to tell you what the hell is going on.
Or is that the point?
Is that how the segment works?
That's how the segment works.
It's like, can you guess the song in three notes?
Okay, let me listen to it again.
Right, and the good news is...
And this is the point at which, if you fear that you may be a little bit delicate, then you probably should look away briefly.
There are millions of squirrels, rabbits...
Okay, so this is about 60,000 dead antelope.
What?
No, I guess I was wrong then.
So you're just going to make fun of this segment?
No, there's an actual story about 60,000 dead antelope, and I thought that related.
Really?
Yes.
Wow.
In Kazakhstan.
Oh.
All of a sudden, there's 60,000 antelope are dead everywhere.
You know what that's about.
Death rays.
Directed energy weapon, absolutely.
Look it up?
Okay, I don't know what's going on with the squirrels.
Monbiad is about to skin and gut a squirrel and cook it on the BBC. Of course.
Because he believes, and so they do all this, oh, don't look away, look away, because you might be grossed out by the gutted squirrel.
Because Monbiot's now on this kick that we should all...
Because I guess he wasn't in on the bug idea.
And he says we should be eating the local vermin.
Squirrels, mice, rabbits, anything.
It's floating around.
See it?
Eat it.
You know, there is something going...
Okay, so what the hell is going on is that we don't notice due to...
The happy postings on social media that people are actually starving.
I think that would be kind of what's going on.
And people are starving in the United States.
So this is why the bugs and eat your roadkill, which in Texas, by the way, is gourmet.
I mean, we have no problem with that.
And I caught this Tom Vilsack, who is the Secretary of Agriculture.
Right.
He's not the Secretary of Education.
He's the Secretary of Agriculture.
And he realizes that kids in the United States of Gitmo Nation are starving to death.
But, of course, we don't see that because, you know, hey, we got the I.N. Kate on television.
Who the hell needs anything else?
And he suggests the following.
It's also important for Congress to understand the significance of what occurs between the months of Jaloon and September.
Wait a minute.
I missed that.
How could you miss that?
It's a new month of Jaloon.
It's Jaloon, everybody.
You've got to take a little clip of that.
Jaloon.
For Congress to understand the significance of what occurs between the months of Jaloon and September, when youngsters are not in school, when they don't have access to a school breakfast and a school lunch, and maybe even an after-school snack or dinner.
Snack?
So we have focused on efforts to try to figure out ways in which we could expand in those time periods when youngsters may not have access to school meals.
We've asked the University of Kentucky to take a look at rural child poverty and nutrition issues to try to figure out if there are pilots that could potentially be funded.
That will expand access to food across the school day and across the school year and across the calendar year.
We've looked for creative ways to develop potentially here in the D.C. area in the state of Virginia an opportunity to take a look at what would happen if all three meals were available for young people.
So why is the Secretary of Agriculture talking about this?
I don't know.
Something's up with this starving thing.
Now, let me get back to the...
You triggered another thought, which is the Monbiot and this guy from the BBC. So they cook this squirrel.
And actually, they have two of them.
And they're in this frying pan, and they're just splayed.
It's like a gutter with their legs and arms sticking out of it.
And they cooked kind of hard as a rock.
And so they try to get the squirrels out and put them on two dishes.
It slides all over the table, and they can't stab it because a fork won't go through it.
And they finally get these on the plates, and the BBC guy grabs a knife and a fork, and he can't really get the fork to go through this squirrel.
How did they cook it?
They just fried it, and Monbiot says it's a little tough.
You can't get the fork in?
No.
So, and he can't cut it.
The thing won't cut.
And then the host of the BBC guy says, well, maybe you have to eat it by hands.
And by the way, I know enough British, especially upper middle class and upper classers, they would never touch their food.
You know, they'd come close to cutting a candy bar.
But okay.
He picks the thing up with his hands, and he tries to bite into it, and he can't really even get a chunk of it.
Manbyad does the same thing.
He goes, yes, this is the way to do it.
And he grabs the squirrel, and he grabs it, and he starts biting onto the breast of the thing, and it's pulling.
I never see either one of them get a chunk of anything off the squirrel.
Well, it's worse than jerky.
We're so fortunate because we actually have a little bit to eat, and you're a good cook.
If you said, I'm going to make some squirrel, I'd eat it.
Then it wouldn't be tough.
I don't see why they have to ruin a perfectly good piece of roadkill and make it too tough to eat.
I could cook it so it wasn't tough.
But when you have the Secretary of Agriculture saying the government has to feed the children, Breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner.
Something is amiss.
Something is wrong.
Well, we will be able to eat squirrel and not much more than that.
It being Labor Day, and that has impacted us somewhat.
So I would like to thank you for your courage and say, in the morning to you, John C., where the C stands for the captain and Tennille of podcasting, Dvorak.
In the morning to you, Adam Curry.
In the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water.
And all the dames and knights.
And all the dames and knights out there.
In the morning, everybody in the chatroom, knowledge on the stream.com.
Good to have you all here.
And thank you to our artiste who helped us for 753, Sir D.H. Slammer.
That was the Office of Suck It Up episode.
And I loved it.
It was Hillary and Uma in a gefilte fish tin with 33 on it.
It has so many double entendres, double and triple entendres.
I liked it very much.
And we appreciate all the work that our artists do.
Noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can submit your art, where we choose the art, not just for the show, for newsletters.
It's just a great resource if you want to have a good laugh or print some stuff out.
It's art.
It's beautiful art made by your very own No Agenda community.
Yes.
Yeah, I agree with that.
But we have two people to thank for both contributing $333.33, one by check, the other one would have been the only executive producer, because nobody else seemed to...
It's this holiday.
These holidays...
They kill us.
And this is one of the worst.
Every year it's the same thing.
Nobody...
And I'm telling you, nobody's listening.
They may or may not get to the show eventually, so, you know, the content will be lost.
And they're definitely not donating because they're on the road.
I should send these newsletters out on a Friday instead of a Saturday because there was nobody home.
It really didn't help them.
Okay.
Richard Hillebrand in New Woodstock, New York, $333.33.
He says, also gives you a happy birthday greeting.
Happy birthday, Adam.
Thank you.
May I please have a clippity-clop, don't eat me, Hillary, and karma.
Sure thing.
It's clippity-clop.
The message is clear.
Just clippity-clop.
Ha, ha, ha.
You've got karma.
Nailed it.
And then Kyle, I guess it's Kinzel, Kinzel, in of all places, Green Bay, Wisconsin.
And I'm sure he's a part owner of the Green Bay Packers.
And he sent a note in, which is a very interesting note because he discusses he's actually a student.
Mm-hmm.
Who can afford $333.33 because he appreciates what he gets out of the show as opposed to people who don't.
You know, if you're spending $20,000 per year, or some places per semester on college, what is a little bit extra to use the Noagenda search for the show notes, the clips, all of this?
It's a great resource.
Well, according to him, it is.
ITM, you two make my brain feel better.
I wish I could donate more, but most of my money is going to University of Wisconsin Green Bay where I'm working on my second bachelor's degree.
My first bachelor's degree was in music.
The second one will be in human biology.
Since this is my second time through the system, I have a bit more moxie about, there's a bit more moxie about me than the first time around.
I eagerly await the opportune moment to hit people in the mouth when the topic of global warming is discussed in class.
I, like any good scientist, stand firmly behind the truth that without application of the scientific method, you cannot claim scientific fact, no matter how well your thesis is supported.
Throw in some global cooling and the only reason we support the renewable energy in the U.S. is so we will be prepared for when the Middle East blows itself up and ruins its oil reserves.
I'm sure to get some jaws dropping.
Yes.
Yeah.
And expelled.
Keep up the fantastic work.
And then he requests.
I guess he didn't suggest the karma, but he'll get one of those.
But he did suggest you haven't played the full Noodle Boy clip in a long time.
Oh, okay.
He wants a Noodle Boy clip.
Anything else or just the karma and the Noodle Boy?
That's it.
Let's explain the Noodle Boy.
Yes, the Noodle Boy is a millennial working in a noodle shop because it's the only job he can get and explaining to, I guess, a news reporter or someone what's wrong with the business he's working in and how he could improve it and he's just a guy who's, you know, he's just a classic.
We call him the noodle boy.
Well, like I described earlier, there are two fundamental classes that are just a plain fact in society.
You either work for someone else or you work for yourself.
And most people work for someone else.
Yeah, we should we should say this.
He was working at the restaurant chain Noodles.
Which is why he's called the noodle boy.
That's an important piece.
Work for someone else, or you work for yourself.
And most people work for someone else in a way that they aren't free.
You don't really get to decide your work.
For example, I work at Noodles, a restaurant.
And basically, it's a dictatorship there.
We're told exactly what we're going to cook, how we're going to cook it, what time we're going to get there.
And basically, if they don't like what they're doing, they try to tell us what to do.
If we don't listen, they get rid of us.
And so we're not able to actually cooperate in a way that we make decisions together.
I try to convince my fellow employees that we should have a union at Noodle's, so it's a source of power to start with.
And then I think in terms of the bigger picture, when you look at revolutions, the way that you actually get rid of any sort of dictatorship is by having workers take control of the place where they work.
Would your plan, your vision for noodles?
Sure.
Would it include the owner?
What capacity would he be granted?
If the owner wanted to cooperate with us as an equal and provide his skills that he had, we would definitely cooperate with him.
We'd have to abdicate his position as being an owner and controller of us, and he would have to recognize that we run noodles together, and basically, if he doesn't want to cooperate with us, he's against us.
And wash your hands after touching any raw meat.
You've got karma.
Good to hear that again.
Yes, that is quite the eye-opener.
It still sounds as crazy as the first time we heard it.
Because we all own noodles together, you see.
Well, you should take that communist idea, noodle boy, and go hang out with George Manbriot.
What's his name?
Manbriot.
Yeah, that guy.
Go eat some squirrel and enjoy that.
Go eat some squirrel.
Go eat some squirrel.
I want to make a quick PR mention for the Clip of the Day YouTube channel.
It's YouTube.com slash Clip of the Day.
And whenever we have a clip of the day, he clips that and uploads it to YouTube.
And I think it's an outstanding way to hit people in the mouth.
And we highly appreciate it.
And we'd really appreciate some help on Thursday's show.
We will be doing another program, obviously.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be out in the country or if I'm going to be back in the Crackpot condo.
But we will be seeing a lot of activity for this program in 2015 and moving towards 2016.
And we need all the support that we can get.
All right.
Of course we always need everybody out there doing the best they can to go out and propagate our formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Amen.
Fist bumps.
Shut up, slay!
Shut up, slay!
Alrighty.
Can I get another shot at the idea that I proposed earlier?
Sure.
Oh, you mean what the heck is going on?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Let me try, let me alter it just a little bit.
Okay.
I'm going to, I have a clip, and I want you to guess what, why is this clip, well, first of all, why am I playing this clip in the first place, and how can you associate it with what's going on in the United States today?
Okay.
Okay.
Which clip is it?
This will be Germans Were the Greatest.
Let me set it up.
It's from the History Channel.
It's one of those many, many thousands and thousands of tributes to Hitler that they play on the History Channel.
Okay.
Hitler was more than an ordinary leader.
By now he was considered by many to be almost superhuman.
And it wasn't just Hitler who was thought to be a superior being.
His connection with those Germans he considered racially pure was based in part on a shared sense of superiority.
Millions of ordinary Germans, especially the young, had been told that they were special too.
We've been taught that only the Germans were valuable human beings.
There was a little booklet called German Inventors, German Poets, German Musicians.
Nothing else existed.
And we devoured it.
And we were absolutely convinced that we were the greatest.
Hmm.
Why is this going on?
I would say this is to remind people how dangerous Donald Trump can be.
No, that's a good guess.
But no, no.
I was saying, what can you associate this clip with that's what is going on?
Okay, then you kind of answered it.
What it really is, that clip...
Epitomize is in America today, the self-esteem movement, participation trophies, and scoreless sports.
And we're all special that way.
Yeah.
So it will lead to a fascist society.
The self-esteem movement, participation trophies, and not scoring in sports.
In other words, you play soccer and you don't keep score.
That is going to lead to the downfall of the country.
The way the Germans were suckered into believing all this crap about themselves.
Huh?
Is this a good game or what?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, okay.
I get it.
I understand.
I'm trying to get into it.
I think I need a few more rounds before I... Ah, to dream up some more of these.
Alright.
Well, while you're dreaming that up, we have such an incredible push.
And this is, of course, are we now dog days of summer or is that over?
Where, you know, everyone's on vacation.
I think that's always August.
I think it's supposed to be over.
It's over.
Well, you know, everyone's on vacation.
What are we going to do?
We'll wait until Congress gets back into full swing.
But I've been reading all of the government technology news feeds.
And what's it called?
FCW, I think.
But there's a number of blogs, really, who are out there reporting on the amount of money being put into government programs.
And 90% of everything you read is about the billions of dollars being put into cyber.
And that we need to educate a whole new force of warriors who are only interested in protecting the homeland.
But they can't actually hire anybody who would have any competence because they're too weird.
They'll smoke drugs.
Yeah, they smoke weed.
Or they're on drugs or they're...
So CNN is putting in, of course, what we need to do is we need to scare lawmakers.
We need to make sure that they are very worried and will approve all of these contracts.
And this is where all the money is going.
Big, big money, and it's better than ever because, you know, if you take a software program, if you say, well, it's so important, and that's why it costs a billion dollars, even though, you know, what does it really cost to make a software program in some instances?
It's probably not a billion dollars.
And CNN is all on board.
They have these beautiful packages.
And they're doing what I did months ago, linking the Office of Personnel and Management hack, which, as we know, contains so much information, including lawmakers.
I presume if you're a senator or a congresswoman, you also have filled out your form for the Office of Personnel and Management.
Have you not?
I think you have.
I think so.
No, if you're in Congress.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
Right.
So they're tying this in to the Ashley Madison hack, which is what I said would be a perfect blackmailing opportunity.
Nothing better than putting a little package together on CNN to prime the pump, as it were.
Chinese and Russian intelligence services are collecting personally identifiable information on a grand scale.
I love the keyboard rattling.
That's a great little effect.
So they can target American government workers for counterintelligence, a U.S. official tells CNN. Yeah, unnamed official.
China has been particularly active, the official says, part of a national strategy.
Hold on a second.
Why does this have to be anonymous?
This is not a state secret.
Oh, because it's bullshit.
They don't actually have a spokeshold to talk about it.
Active, the official says, part of a national strategy.
The foreign spy agencies then use a massive database analysis.
Massive database analysis!
What does that mean?
What is a massive database analysis?
Is that like selecting...
You know, this is what used to be done in the mailing list business when they had...
They're called database companies.
They used to...
Yeah.
They used to put two mailing lists together.
All it amounts to is this...
You got the field and stream mailing list of all the subscribers, and you got the Reader's Digest subscriber, and you did somebody with a psychographic analysis that anyone who subscribes to both this, and this is still going on, this kind of thinking.
It's dumb.
Anyone who subscribes to the Reader's Digest and the field and stream has to be interested in deep-sea fishing.
Yeah.
And so then they would run the two lists together and then they come up with these same...
The names are on both lists.
That's database analysis.
I think it means...
When you say massive database analysis, I believe that term is intended...
Wow, hello.
To promote the big data meme.
Yes, and since the Russians and Chinese are using massive database analysis, guess what we need?
We should, too.
We need ginormous database analysis.
It's been particularly active, the official says, part of a national strategy.
The foreign spy agencies then use a massive database analysis.
See, foreign spy agencies, which means the domestic spy agencies need even bigger.
Hey, thank you.
To combine information from hacks as diverse as the Office of Personnel Management to the cheating website Ashley Madison to identify and potentially compromise agents.
Together, they really ratchet up the level of harm.
The OPM breach has confidential information about U.S. personnel and people who've applied for security clearances, and the Ashley Madison breach reveals some of people's most intimate secrets about the affairs they might be having outside the relationship.
If I'm a cheating scumbag politician, which, let's face it, We know how many of them are.
They go to the hooker services anyway.
They don't use Ashley Madison, one.
And two, nobody ever gets laid on Ashley Madison.
Together.
It's just a waste of...
All you do is you find the suckers.
Hold on.
Let me roll it back.
End the report.
...the relationship.
And together, it provides a lot of leverage that can be used to blackmail and possibly influence U.S. personnel.
Both countries use private contractors, including hackers, to infiltrate U.S. systems to help hide the true source of the cyber attacks.
This is great!
We're so good at this now.
Ukraine problems?
Well, obviously it's Russia.
By proxy.
Well, that's the other thing.
What he just said, if that's what the spiel is, which it seems to be, then there's no evidence that the Chinese did the OPM hack.
No.
It's bullcrap.
Yes, exactly.
What they're saying is, and then I have another clip that ties into that, is like, well, just because we say it's them, because, oh, they use consultants.
They hired them.
Although both governments also carry out their own attacks.
Such cyber attacks have been on a gradual upswing since the mid-2000s due to their success, a U.S. official says.
The Obama administration has repeatedly acknowledged the threat.
We're confronting a persistent and dedicated adversary.
The threat is ever-evolving and it It's critically important for us to make sure that our defensive measures that are intended to prevent these kinds of intrusions reflect that ever-evolving risk.
Still, repeated internal reports have found that U.S. government systems remain vulnerable to such attacks.
Even so, many U.S. government agencies, according to a U.S. official, still lack urgency.
Why do you think this guy is yelling like this the whole time?
Is he trying to get someone's attention?
What the OPM breach really revealed is that the government's cybersecurity isn't even up to the par of the private sector.
And we know the private sector suffers security breaches all the time.
Okay, well there you go.
And that was a consultant, of course.
Cybersecurity consultant.
It is exactly the same meme we're using to accuse Russia of the riots that are taking place in Ukraine.
Gee, not a lot of reporting on that.
And it's the same guy!
It's the same guy!
Violence on the streets of the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, now turning deadly.
A grenade thrown from the crowd killing one soldier, injuring several others.
These street battles pit Ukrainian nationalists against the Ukrainian parliament.
It's just approved, giving greater autonomy to the eastern regions of the country, now controlled by Russian troops and pro-Russian separatists.
Oh, Russian troops all of a sudden.
No.
No, there's no proof of Russian troops, but Russian-backed separatists.
Okay.
Ukraine's Western-backed president scolded protesters for attacking Ukraine over Russia.
Russia has strengthened its hold on the east and the war has raged on, with more than 6,000 killed since April last year.
Two ceasefire agreements in tatters.
NATO allies worried they could be Russia's next targets.
The U.S. military is...
My God, I didn't realize how much sound effect was in this thing.
This is fantastic.
This is great.
Yeah.
And F-22s to Germany late last week.
All part of an effort to reassure European allies that the U.S. will deter further aggression by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Obviously.
That's the direction he wants to take them, towards one or more confrontation.
And we're simply going to have to check that.
We're going to have to check him because Putin is behind everything.
He's really, really bad.
Oh, my God.
It's Russia.
They're doing everything.
Russia is responsible for all of this.
And therefore, we need to get Vladimir Putin.
We need to check him.
Oh, this is so horrible, everybody.
I don't know what we're going to do.
That's how you do a report.
I liked it.
It was good.
You could have done it longer.
Yeah, I ran out of material.
I don't have the SFX library CNN apparently has.
So this is all just...
Well, it's great filler for the summer, I guess.
Not a lot of people watching.
Everybody's off.
Pooper's not on.
I'm surprised.
Well, Megyn Kelly is back because they set it up for her to be a ratings bonanza now.
Thanks to Trump.
Oh, yeah.
Very good job of promoting her show.
Fantastic.
Yeah, you know, the thing with her, she's a little dour.
I mean, she has a...
I don't know.
I actually don't...
I liked her before...
When she got this show, she's too...
I don't know what it is.
She's unpleasant.
She's a little patronizing.
Well, she's just...
I don't know.
It's like she's got...
You know what?
It seems to me that she epitomizes being constipated.
And you have to watch it with that in mind.
Yeah.
Just seriously.
You think I'm joking.
No.
But watch Megyn Kelly as if she's constipated and you'll see.
Oh, okay.
I get it now.
She might actually be constipated.
I don't know.
Thank you.
I'll make sure to keep an eye on this.
You know, you just got to have a letter from a listener.
This is actually an interesting pet peeve.
He says, he decides, he thinks that should be my pet peeve.
I can't get that into it, but I kind of like this note.
ITMJCD, I've been waiting patiently for two or three years, at least for this to show up as a Dvorak pet peeve, and if it isn't one of yours, I will be shocked.
I'm Megyn Kelly and I can't poop.
I'm sorry.
I will be shocked.
Shocked.
Shocked.
It sure irritates the hell out of me.
A recent story about the White House fence jump for getting gunned down at a Pennsylvania courthouse brought it all up again, I quote, from a typical story.
Quote, because of the late morning hour, the normal security monitoring officers were at lunch break, and a single monitoring station was opened, manned by Deputy Sheriff Kevin Brough, an 18-month veteran of the staff, and the second unnamed deputy.
And then he says, this guy, the letter writer, uh, Jay.
Jay.
He says, 18-month veteran?
How can you be in the job 18 months and be a veteran of the police department?
News stories like this abound.
You can even do a Google search on two-year veteran police and find 1,000 hits.
Ivan did a search for one-year veteran, found the following, and he's got evidence of that.
He goes on and on.
He thinks that the language is being misused when some guy who's been on the job for six months is being called a six-month veteran.
And I agree with him.
Of course.
So, what is that about?
He's just bitching.
It's just a bitch letter.
These people send these bitch letters.
It's not quite a pet peeve of the day.
No, it's not a pet peeve.
It's not even an almost pet peeve.
It's just an interesting observation.
And that's one of the things we do on the show is we're always looking for these little gotchas in usage.
And you said ginormous earlier, but I recognize it as a joke.
Yes, because it was a joke.
Yes, it was a joke.
When I said ginormous that one time, I never said ginormous.
I said something else.
It was something else stupid.
Yeah.
No, there we go.
I just...
One...
That's the note.
One more clip about Russia.
Did you know that we have extended the sanctions against Russia now with 25 new sanctions?
Oh, 25.
25 new ones?
Putin!
Here is the spokeshole, the deputy spokeshole.
Kirby's off on vacation.
Everyone's just chilling out.
This deputy spokeshole...
Interesting guy.
Oh, I saw him already, yes.
He's a very dull person.
Yeah.
But therefore, in a strange way, interesting.
Now, this is an RT report, so you have to take it with the RT angle in mind, but I can't find much flaw with it.
I went to the State Department to find out what exactly Russia is doing right now to fuel the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
And we've seen ongoing violations of the ceasefire, and I know we've been back and forth on that, or who's to blame for that.
We believe the preponderance of those ceasefire violations are on the part of separatist forces, again, supplied and also helped by Russian military.
Can you give some specifics exactly what violations, what ceasefire, how is Russia?
Well, I mean, again, I mean, I can, you know, we've got, you know, many examples.
Obviously, I'd refer you to the OSCE. Their monitors are on the ground.
Well, there was some verbal wondering and flipping through the binders before the State Department spokesperson found a few more lines that he thought explained why Russia is still being punished.
We've seen repeatedly, within the past months, Russian separatist forces have launched dozens of attacks across the line of control, killing more than a dozen Ukrainian soldiers.
Well, in the view of the State Department, for whatever the Ukrainian rebels do, Russia is guilty by association.
There you go.
They're seeing the same thing.
Yeah.
You know, this reporter, that woman, who's also a White House correspondent, I think she's really good.
Yeah, but I can't remember her name, though.
Her name is completely unremembered.
One of the networks should pick her up.
She should snap her up.
I agree.
Yeah.
I agree.
She's just a good reporter.
So I did watch the...
We talked about this already a little bit, but I didn't have any clips.
I got a couple of clips.
Okay.
There's a front line everyone should watch.
Oh yes, about Putin.
It's fantastic.
It's called Putin's Way.
It aired on January 13, 2015 and they played it a couple of times.
And you can go to Frontline, their website.
There's a copy of it online.
You can watch it on YouTube, I believe.
And it's a Frontline production.
It is well done.
Yeah, they do a good job.
Lenny Riefenstahl would be so proud.
I think they've gone beyond her.
I got a great...
I went to an event and they had the frontline producers there giving lectures on videography techniques using small devices.
And it was fascinating.
They actually do go in a lot of times with like a, you know, I wouldn't say it's a GoPro, but it's a GoPro little sized thing.
Somebody's like a little camera.
And they shoot a lot of stuff because they can't get a lot of the gear into some of these places they shoot.
And this is very interesting.
They said it's actually harder.
If you have a good piece of video, if you have a good video camera with all its controls, it's so much easier to get the shot you're looking for than one of these little handheld things.
So these things are just ridiculously difficult to use on a broadcast level to get the kind of broadcast quality you want.
That was kind of the message.
So let's listen to...
This is interesting to me, this clip here, which is...
Before you get into it, what do you think the overall meaning or thought of this front line...
I'll call it a documentary piece.
Was it slanted?
Do you feel it was fair?
What was your takeaway from it?
It was totally slanted.
It had a thesis.
Of course, everything has to or it's not interesting.
And the thesis is that Putin is just carried on where Yeltsin left off running a corrupt society.
And he is just a new guy as the head of it.
And he agreed with Yeltsin that they will not bust the Yeltsin family who created the corrupt society of all these oligarchs.
And these guys are just paid off.
And a lot of these oligarchs had hoped that they would transition.
In fact, that one guy, the oil magnate, who was one of the world's richest men, and now he's broke, who got thrown in jail for 20 years, was one of those guys who said, we've got to do better deals.
We'll make more money if we take what we've got and join in with the West and do bigger deals that are not just based on corruption.
And they...
Putin apparently made a deal with Yeltsin at the get-go to continue the old style of business as usual, which is based on bribes and friends.
And killing people.
And killing people.
They killed everybody who investigated the most interesting piece of this front-line documentary.
But this is the one that kind of got to me.
Because I remember discussions about Putin being in the KGB and people confusing Putin.
Him just being, I guess it was a colonel or something in the KGB, with him running the KGB. Yes.
And then that came out into the public domain.
I think it was part of the political campaign.
Oh, Putin never ran the KGB. He never did this.
He's bullcrap.
He's just a KGB guy.
And then there's this little tidbit.
This is Putin in the KGB FSB clip.
Yeah.
All these kind of things he has in him.
And he cannot, I don't think he can change it, you know.
It's unchangeable.
He was so much the KGB man, he would take a turn as head of its successor agency, the FSB, and a year before he became prime minister.
I love that voice.
That voice is, you know, I believe anything that voice says.
So he was the head of not the KGB, but the FSB for a year.
That's a big difference than never being the head of it.
Now, they believe in this documentary that what they try to prove is that there was a bunch of, just before Putin was elected president to take over from Yeltsin the first time around, there were a bunch of apartment buildings that were blowed up.
Yeah, by the Chechnyan rebels was the whole idea.
Killing a whole bunch of people.
The Chechenian rebels supposedly did it.
Putin became a big tub thumper to kill all the Chechenians.
And it turns out that from the way this was presented and the fact that they found some explosives in a third building that never went off, that it was actually the FSB who put those bombs in there.
Yeah.
To create Putin as the big, you know, savior of the country.
And they call it the 9-11 of Russia.
And in fact, it was a phony explosion.
And everyone who's tried to investigate this has either been jailed or shot.
And this is what we call a false flag.
Yeah.
Definitely.
So let's play and get these out of the way.
This is Putin and the apartments.
One month into his new job, in the fall of 1999, this.
Bombs obliterated four apartment buildings in Moscow and other cities, all blown up at night while people slept.
Hundreds died.
This was Russia's 9-11.
Russian historian Yuri Faustinsky has written a book on the apartment bombings.
We have to understand that the whole country is very nervous.
The feeling is that every several days or like once a week, the building is going to be blown up.
All of a sudden, a prime minister few Russians had heard about was everywhere, swearing revenge.
We're going to investigate terrorists everywhere.
In the airport, in the airport.
We'll see you in the toilet.
Putin would point to rebels in Chechnya, where a separatist movement was holding ground.
The Russian officials said that there was a Chechen trail in the apartment bombings.
Not proof of Chechen involvement, a Chechen trail.
It wasn't clear what that meant.
But it was used in order to justify a new invasion of Chechnya.
Hmm.
And so we end up with that situation evolving.
And then we have this Putin.
This is the Putin last clip.
He quickly became the most popular politician in Russia, even though before the apartment bombings, he was believed to have had no chance to succeed Yeltsin as president.
They needed a set of situations in which they could postpone the elections entirely and make it more difficult for the opposition to focus on unimportant things like the corruption of the Yeltsin family.
The irony is that this is precisely how the first Chechen war was started.
The first Chechen war was started and provoked in 1995 In order to have a situation that would allow the government to cancel elections or to postpone elections, claiming that you cannot have them during the war time.
And absolutely the same was done in 1999.
So there was a real Yeltsin interest in this, but there also was a Putin interest because he wanted to be president.
And it worked.
Three months into a new millennium, Russia had a new president.
He seemed a modern man.
A man for the future.
A future all Russians hoped would be better than the past.
Anyway, great documentary.
People should definitely check it out.
Well, you know what we're doing wrong.
It's so obvious.
Now, neither of us have that kind of voice, but we need just to be using the tension music all the time.
The tension music works.
That's right.
Now, I do these three clips with trepidation.
Okay.
Because we have, or we used to have, and I'm wondering now whether he even listens to the show anymore.
We used to have this guy in Brooklyn who was a Russian, who would come in when we did anything.
Could you please read a little more to the music?
And then we would get a call, at least an email from this fellow, who would then tell us where we were wrong, where we misspoke.
And it seemed so right at the time.
But I guess he figured he straightened us out.
And I don't expect to hear from him anymore.
More tales from the No Agenda Show right after these words.
Yeah, that's pretty good.
We should work on that.
Yeah.
Actually, we should.
What is your takeaway on this?
Well, my takeaway, looking at it from a meta perspective, is that this is the Russians.
They're going to work this way for as long as they can get away with it, which could be for a very long time.
And it's their business.
I don't think I came away with this, but this is my conclusion.
This is their business.
This is the way they run it.
We have to deal with them.
And maybe it is a corrupt society and it's run by gangsters.
That's beside the point.
We still have to deal with them.
And our thinking that we can turn the Russian public against the criminals that run the Russian government, assuming that this is all accurate, is folly.
We're just wasting our time.
It's not going to do us any good.
And we're going to lose out.
We should probably be doing, you know, deals with them as best we can.
This is probably a good time to remind people of the Zen TV experiment.
I think it's been two years since I've talked about this.
And actually, the original web page was offline.
How did it come from?
I think it was...
I forget where it was from originally.
But the Zen TV experiment, it's in the show notes.
You'll find it under the Today section at 754.noagendanotes.com.
It takes you through a number of exercises, watching television, teaches you how to count technical events.
So this is zooms, interior to exterior, jump cuts.
And it gives you different exercises to do, like watching any television show for 15 minutes without the sound, then watching television but only sound, no picture, and then watch the television for 30 minutes without the television being on at all.
But it really helps you understand, and this comes back to your point about using smaller, just all the technology available to make these types of pieces, right down to the music.
How it really works and how incredibly good it is at shaping opinion and mind controlling.
And so please do this exercise.
I try to promote it once a year and I think I've been lax for a year.
You've got two or three people to go for it.
Sure.
And we kind of do it just by the nature of our show.
Yes.
Because we're audio only.
Absolutely.
Because we're audio only.
That's when you hear the sound effects and that's when you hear...
And that stuff is not minor.
Right, and that's when you don't see it, but at the time when you got it the first time, but you never heard Jaloon.
Jaloon.
Now, we're here in Galveston, and, you know, there's not a lot going on in Galveston, like, infrastructure-wise, Galveston Island, that is.
But, you know, there's a Walgreens, and so we pick up a few things, like some water and whatever, and pick up the truth papers.
Which, of course, as we all know, is the National Enquirer, who are all over Hillary's lesbianism.
We'll get to that later on.
But there was an ad.
A full-page advertisement.
Do they have any girlfriends listed, or what did they do?
Yes, they do.
Oh, gee, did you buy that one?
Of course I did.
Oh, man, scan that article for me.
I want to read it.
Yes, before we get to that...
I want you to go to monkeykid.grumpyradio.com.
monkeykid.grumpyradio.com.
And tell me, what is going on with this ad?
Now, this is an ad for a doll.
But, well, I'm going to wait until you bring up the page.
You can't reach this page.
Then you're doing it wrong.
Monkeykid.grumpyradio.com Maybe I should do some tension music while you're at it.
Monkey Kid by Adam Curry.
Now look at the picture.
This is a scan of the ad.
What is going on in our society if this is an actual product being marketed What is this?
Well, it is a monkey kid.
It's a doll that looks like a monkey with a pacifier in its face, but it's like a hybrid kid.
Handcrafted with features you would see in a newborn monkey.
Yeah.
Clementine's eyes say so much, and that's especially true when the baby is a monkey.
Clementine needs a cuddle.
An exclusive baby monkey doll from Ashton Drake.
What's going on?
It's so truly real in every way, including her dewy brown eyes that are practically begging you to pick her up and love her.
And once you do, your heart will never be the same.
Created by an award-winning artist, Linda Murray.
Clementine is beautifully brought to life in our signature real touch vinyl and hand-painted soft curls frame her sweet face and long lashes.
Fringe.
Those trusting, engaging eyes.
Why is this?
It's only $24.
Oh, no, wait.
$400.
Yeah, it's $99.99.
Yeah.
999.
What is going on in our society when this is being marketed to people?
Well, what little girl would want this horrible looking thing?
I don't think this is for little girls, John.
This is not for little girls.
This is for...
I don't know.
Who is it for?
Little girls don't read the National Enquirer.
This is freaky scary.
Look at the little pink bow.
The cat ladies out there.
Well, I need this to be explained to me.
I don't think you're ever going to get an explanation.
I don't think we can deconstruct it.
It's the creepiest thing I've ever seen in my life.
Well, while on the subject of ads, so I'm watching the 3x3, so I have to...
Three networks, three weeks, which is almost over.
No, I got another week to go at least.
Okay, well, all right.
Um...
We haven't done this for a while, but I want to play a couple of the advertisements being played on these networks because the drug companies sponsor these news shows.
And there's two that stood out.
And the one I saw and I saw and I saw it.
It's the creepiest ad I've ever seen.
I don't like this ad.
It's for a new sleeping pill that would apparently make you insane and cause hallucinations.
This is one that you might want to try.
And the ad shows the woman walking around with a boneless cat It's animated?
Yes, it's a CG. So it's like a real cat.
Oh, I've seen this.
Yeah, okay.
All I see is holes in this cat, and I see there's no backbone.
It's a boneless cat that's following her around.
It's actually described as one of the symptoms of this drug, which is called Balsamra.
Wait a minute.
One of the symptoms of the drug is you see the cat?
No, hallucinations.
Of cats.
And this cat is a hallucination.
This, you know, this is like DMT. DMT, if you...
Well, I don't know about that.
Well, I do.
I know you're a big fan of DMT. Yes, a big fan.
If you see, if you do enough DMT, then you see the pixies.
Okay, well, you'd probably see this cat, which is disgusting.
Belsorma?
Belsorma?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Remember when it welcomed you like a friend?
Then it became more elusive.
But why?
When you have insomnia, it may affect the wake neurotransmitters in your brain, disrupting your wake and sleep messages.
Stop, stop.
Tape stopped.
Tape stopped.
So, this is the...
We've talked about this with other commercials.
We haven't read...
We deconstructed any recently.
But these assumptions that are made, it may do this.
In other words, they don't know why this drug works.
They do know it creates hallucinations and sleepwalking.
But they don't know why.
It may do this.
It may do that.
We believe this is not even science.
We think it's possible that the brain receptors might This is like the doctor when talking about the little pink pill, the female Viagra.
She said, verbatim, we have no idea how it works.
We don't know how SSRIs work.
They just work.
Just take it.
Yeah.
Balsamra is a prescription medicine for adults who have trouble falling or staying asleep.
Balsamra is thought to help turn down wake messages by targeting and inhibiting the action of orexin.
Wake messages?
Yeah, the wake messages that go back and forth in the brain.
Wake up.
Wake, wake, go to sleep, wake.
Wake up, sleep.
A neurotransmitter that plays a central role in sending wake messages.
Only Balsamra works this way.
Do not take balsamra if you have narcolepsy.
Wait a minute.
I know a narcoleptic.
Yeah.
And why would he take a sleeping pill if he's falling asleep all the time?
Because he thinks it might be a thrill.
Narcolepsy.
When taking Balsamra, don't drive or operate heavy machinery until you feel fully awake.
Walking, eating, driving, or engaging in other activities while asleep without remembering it the next day have been reported.
You're right.
I can't wait.
I want to try it.
Walking, driving, sleeping, eating.
Yeah, you might not remember it the next day.
Balsamra should not be taken together with alcohol.
Abnormal behaviors may include aggressiveness, confusion, agitation, or hallucinations.
The temporary inability to move while falling asleep or waking up and temporary leg weakness have also been reported.
In depressed patients, worsening depression, including risk of suicide, may occur.
Alcohol may increase these risks.
Side effects include next day drowsiness.
Ah, sleep.
Ask your doctor about Balsamra.
I will.
Right away.
This sounds dynamite.
You may fall asleep at any moment and not remember.
Or you may not be...
Or when you wake up...
You go driving.
When you wake up, you may not be able to move.
This is fantastic.
And the name is so close to Soma.
Balsamra.
Come on, just call it Soma.
For those of you who don't know, read A Brave New World.
Adolphus Huxley.
You should anyway, yes.
Yeah.
All right, so now I'm watching that.
I thought that, you know, that's a...
A question, John.
Yeah.
You know, I know that it's been a long time for you, but you've smoked some weed in your day.
I mean, decades ago.
I went to, yeah.
You went to a little, you know, weed phase.
I went to a weed college.
Oh, Berkeley?
Yeah.
Now, did you use a bong or did you smoke it or roll it up?
Oh, you tried everything.
You shotgunned?
I don't know what a shotgun is.
I bet you were a shotgunner.
Alright.
But, which is, of course, this is a Class A drug.
Does it have anywhere near the side effects of Balsamra?
It doesn't have any of these side effects.
You just get drowsy and listen to some good music and you go to bed and you're fine the next day.
And I never could figure out what the big deal was.
But I wouldn't partake because nowadays this stuff is extremely potent and it's a time waster to me.
I don't have that much time left.
That sounded bad.
20 years max.
Oh, bullcrap.
I'm giving you 30.
Well, that would be pretty disgusting.
Then I'd be on the corner with what I've always wanted to do, be an old man with a cane on the park bench, and then when the girls go by, you lift up their dresses slowly with a cane.
I hereby grant your wish.
All right, so I'm watching this crap, and so this particular one, I'm thinking, how much money do these people make from some of these drugs?
These drug companies must be raking it in to advertise this particular drug.
I mean, because the audience for it is relatively small, but it has to be...
Someone also watching one of the network news broadcasts.
And this is a drug.
It's a screwy drug.
You've never heard of this drug.
It probably costs $100,000 a year to even use it.
And the side effect would be something like a ruptured spleen.
What is your spleen for?
This is Nulasta.
It's explained.
I'm asking you what your spleen does.
I don't know but it can get ruptured.
I've always been protective of my little sister.
Little?
Hardly.
But when she got cancer, she was the strong one.
I just did my homework.
She learned while she needed chemo.
It could weaken my immune system.
But then you found out about Nulasta, right?
Nulasta helps reduce infection risk by boosting your white blood cell count, which strengthens your immune system.
In a key study, Nulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%, a 94% decrease.
Nulast is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy.
Do not take Nulast if you're allergic to Nulast or Neupogen.
Ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal, as well as serious lung problems and allergic reactions have occurred.
Report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing, or allergic reactions to your doctor right away.
In patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur.
The most common side effect is bone and muscle ache.
Ellie's strong, but she still needs help.
Yeah, I do.
Ask your doctor about Neolasta.
Fabulous.
If you're not dying from the chemo, we'll try and rupture your spleen.
I'm watching this commercial going, holy crap!
Who is this commercial for?
It's very targeted.
These commercials aren't cheap.
I think they have an audience of 10 million, so the commercials are probably up there in the $50,000 minimum.
I don't know.
I should get a rate card.
I'll get a rate card since I'm doing this study.
Well...
I just found it to be like, holy mackerel, this is unbelievable.
If you need this drug, I'm sure a doctor, specialist, oncologist who specializes in cancer would know about it, and you don't need it from it.
You're going to pester him now because, you know, from this ad?
Yeah, just talk to your doctor.
Well, this brings me to a...
Let me get this thought out of the way.
This brings me to the thought that There's an assumptive mode of these ads, which is that you, the patient, to take this and bring it to your doctor, have to assume that the doctor's unaware of this drug existing.
Because if he was aware, he'd already prescribed it.
But you ask the doctor so you can make him aware because he's an idiot.
Why am I going to this doctor if he's an idiot?
It's a sales job, of course.
It's part sales job.
It's very good.
There was a report in, and I'm very, very troubled by this, and falls right in line with this, because you will not see any report, I believe, in mainstream countering the claims of these pharmaceuticals and the companies that make them, the doctors that prescribe them.
And this is about one of the PrEP medications.
And PrEP is the pre-exposure prophylaxis.
In particular, I'm talking about Truvada.
And we've mentioned this many times.
I got turned on to the story by Brian the Gay Crusader, who has sent me study after study.
You can find it all if you go to search.nashownotes.com, that this PrEP, Truvada specifically, does not protect you from AIDS.
But the idea is take this pill every day, and then you have extra protection against contracting HIV and then that turning into AIDS.
And here's the Washington Post, which is owned by the Amazon guy, the Laffer, the Bezos.
I'm sorry.
Headline, in new study, 100% of participants taking HIV prevention pill Truvada remained infection-free.
Now the study was conducted by Kaiser Permanente, who are involved in the drug business.
And they took a group of men who were likely to have sex with other men, and they tested them for a while, taking this pill, and guess what?
They didn't get AIDS. Which another report, and this is what was interesting about this article, there's a correction to the article, excuse me, at the bottom, correction.
A previous version of this story stated that another study on Truvada found that the drug prevented infection in about 86% of participants.
The study, called PROUD, lowered their risk by 86%.
This post has been updated.
But if you look at the post, this story, there's no mention of the other study.
Only the original study, which apparently the ad sales department went, hey, you can't do that.
Yeah, but we're a journalistic outfit.
No, you can't do that.
This is Truvada.
This is Kaiser.
These guys are big.
You can't do that.
You can't be countering their 100 claim.
We're making the headline 100%.
But okay, to keep your journalistic integrity, we'll let you put in a little correction in italics at the bottom.
This is going to kill people.
It is.
It's going to kill people who believe that now we can take this drug, and coincidentally it's also a little blue pill, and then you will not contract the HIV, the human inefficiency virus.
Well, there you have it.
Well, it's more than there you have it.
It's all the legal stuff that's going to kill you.
Good luck.
It's a disaster.
And it all begins with this little monkey baby.
I'm afraid so.
I'm going to show my soul by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on no agenda in the morning.
It'll be a short segment, I presume.
Yes, we have a pretty short segment here.
Let's begin it with Sam Haveholm, who's in Endicott, New York.
And he donated $133.33.
He's got a birthday coming up.
Somebody's got a birthday.
Got him on the list.
Yep.
Got him on the list.
Rui Salgado, who is in...
Guimeras.
Portugal.
Portugal.
You get a lot of Portuguese listening to the show.
Well, the Portuguese are in such dire straits that they're reaching out to any...
They're grasping at straws.
The last straw they can find is the No Agenda show.
Apparently.
Well, good for them.
I love the people in Portugal.
They're fantastic.
Me too.
Me too.
It's a great place to visit.
I recommend anyone to take a vacation there.
It's a fantastic vacation spot.
The Brits know about this.
They take all the advantage.
They don't even like to talk about it because they want it all for themselves.
David Villieux in...
Villieux!
Villieux in 12345.
By the way, Salgado is also 12345.
Nice.
And Villieux is in Parts Unknown.
Nice.
Dame Joni Adafray in Morgantown, West Virginia.
You're old stomping.
Motown!
That's right.
And she's got a birthday thing coming up.
Happy birthday to Adam, also.
And her son.
Very nice.
Griffin.
Okay, we'll do that.
And her son Griffin turns 17 on Sunday, September 6th.
Thanks to you guys for the weekly dose of sanity.
I understand the vision changes.
Oh, about the vision.
Yeah, as you get older, you get farsighted.
William Arcand in Dracket, Massachusetts, 7373.
Jordan DeMoss in Paxton, Illinois, 6969.
And he has a call-out.
He has a call-out.
Oh, he has a call-out.
I want to call out Jason David as a douchebag.
Douchebag!
He's been listening for weeks and hasn't donated.
His wife just became pregnant with their fifth kid and he's decided to get a vasectomy.
Ouch.
Until he started to listen to the show and found out he would look like a lesbian.
We saved him!
John, this is good news.
High five.
Hey, another life saved from the lesbian-looking face.
And then he wants the climate change jingle, if you can put that at the end.
It's underutilized, he says, with all the climate gate talk in the last few weeks.
Also play the clip of the British guy using the intelligence to protect freedom.
Oh, yes.
Oh, hey.
Yeah, that'll be fun.
It's a short segment anyway.
Who cares?
Sir Dean Bertram, yes, in Beaver Lake, Washington, 6423.
Sir Kevin Payne in Chantilly, Virginia, 5432.
Craig Covel in Auburn, Pennsylvania, 5280.
Jeffrey Kenyon in Klontarf, Queensland, Australia.
I hope I get that right.
There's a birthday there.
Ed LeBoutelier in Hesperia, California.
Hey!
What?
Did you fix your monitor?
Huh.
No.
Why did you ask?
For some reason it's going exceptionally well.
You're not stumbling over things.
Is it dark?
Is it cloudy today?
The sun's not blasting me.
That's what you're wondering.
There we go.
Also, I'll talk about the monitors later.
Mac Tank in La Jolla, California.
These are all $51 donors for Adam's birthday.
These are the laggards.
Yes, thank you.
Olaf Wolf in North Port, Alabama.
Anthony Gershick in Blackwood, New Jersey.
Lee Jiang in Aberdeen, United Kingdom.
I think that's Scottish.
No, it's Aberdeenshire.
Aberdeenshire, right?
Okay.
Martin Anderson in Copenhagen, 51.
That's the end of that group.
And then we drop right to the...
Well, thank you, everybody, for my 51st birthday present.
I appreciate that.
Yes.
And we drop right to the $50 donors, and then there's not that many of these either.
Damn.
Starting with Corey McDonald in Richfield, Minnesota.
Christopher Walker in De Pere, Wisconsin.
Nuts.
Matthew Januszewski in Chicago.
Adam Beck in Lost Wages, Nevada.
Tony Dockery.
Oh, hold on.
Hold on.
That's one of Tina the Keeper's sisters.
Tony?
Yeah.
So she got called out as a douche.
Was there no note with her donation?
No, it didn't say anything.
And she's in Highland, Indiana?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, she needs to be de-douched.
Okay, de-doucher.
You've been de-douched.
There's something very strange about de-douching my girlfriend's sister.
It doesn't feel right.
I feel a little dirty.
Well, take a shower.
Eric Mann in Highland...
I'm sorry, in Spring Hill, Florida.
John Strig in San Antonio.
San Antonio!
Sir Brian Watson in Raleigh, North Carolina.
And finally, Sir Brett Farrell in Oklahoma City, OKC. I want to thank these folks for chiming in, helping us out here when nobody else would.
This would have been an outstanding day to do one of those best of things, one of the funny clips.
Yeah.
We showed up.
It's the day of labor where you're supposed to celebrate.
And I'm in an...
It's now 87 degrees in the flying burrito.
Yeah, in the flying burrito, you're sweating to death.
Imagine.
If you ever watch the Paul Newman movie where he's in jail and they put him in the solitary confinement, it's pretty much a metal housing that they put the guy in.
Yeah.
Now think of the Airstream.
You're sweating like a pig in that thing.
Yeah.
This is not so nice.
Oh, crap.
It's okay.
The show will be over shortly, and you can crank up the thing.
Well, let me do the requested clips here.
I'm going to do another dedouching.
I'm going to do the Hague thing, and the Climategate, and a little bit of Jobs Karma for everybody.
We really do appreciate...
The people who did come in and remember that we are working on this day of labor-freeness, and especially people under $50 for reasons of anonymity or your subscriptions.
I know, John, the newsletter, you recommended people get some subscriptions to the show, 33 a month, as many different ones you can choose from.
And you can check that out at dvorak.org slash NA.
Intelligence work takes place within a strong legal framework.
We operate under the rule of law and are accountable for it.
In some countries, secret intelligence is used to control their people.
In ours, it only exists to protect their freedoms.
Protect their freedoms. Protect their freedoms. Protect their freedoms.
You've been de-douched. .
To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gates.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's go for jobs!
You've got karma.
And here we go.
Dame Joni says happy birthday to me and her son Griffin, who turns 17 today.
Sir Gene Bertram says happy birthday to his daughter Diana.
She'll be turning 13 tomorrow.
Jeffrey Kenyon says happy birthday to his son Jake, 22 on the 8th.
And Sam Havholm says happy birthday to his nephew Joshua Scott, celebrating on September 10th.
Happy birthday from all the staff of Managed with the Best Podcast in the Universe and Uncle John and Uncle Adam.
And no knights, of course, or barons or any upgrades.
Not expected, of course, with today being the holiday in Gitmo.
But Sir Gavin Warren from Gitmo Nation Down Under has changed his title.
We're okay with title changes, right?
Yeah, I think that's part of the privilege.
So he went from Sir Gavin Warren to Sir Vailant's order of the telephoto lens.
Surveillance.
Took me a minute.
And then I got it.
Surveillance.
It's cute.
It is nice.
I'm surprised somebody hasn't come up with it before.
That's why I think he wanted to get in real quick and do it.
Surveillance.
I got it.
Exactly.
Alright.
I got a couple things.
I got a little bit of Hillary.
I got some Hillary too.
I figured it's time.
Okay, well, let's go.
Now, this is the interview I have, unfortunately, the whole thing, and you can stop it when you feel like it.
Oh, this is Andrea Mitchell?
It's not the whole thing.
It's actually cut down a little bit, but it starts kind of with the good stuff.
Hillary, by the way, this is the interview with Andrea Mitchell.
Who is an elitist, and she's married to Greenspunkel.
She's not an elitist.
She's an elite.
Yes.
An Illuminati.
And let me set the stage for this.
Hillary Clinton is wearing all white.
She is the Virgin Mary herself.
Did you not notice this?
I did.
I'm so innocent.
She's great at answering questions.
She's great at avoiding questions.
There's one or two that she gets asked directly and she avoids the question completely and goes on beautifully in the other direction and Andrea's so dumb she doesn't even notice.
Well, Andrea's in on the game, you'd think.
She's always shilling for Hillary.
Is she not?
Hello?
This was on...
I was thinking.
Oh, I'm sorry.
This is on...
I don't know.
I'm not sure of that.
She did ask some pointed questions, and it was...
Hillary sloughed them off.
No, what Hillary did is two things, and then we'll listen to it.
I also have a little clip, which I don't know if it's included in yours, so I'll wait for it.
She did two things.
She always said, all other politicians do it.
And it's the technology, stupid.
That's the two things.
That's not the way I saw it.
The State Department didn't know.
They couldn't recognize what your email address was.
Well, the people I was emailing to on the.gov system certainly knew.
Does it concern you that people don't trust your answers on this?
I mean, there was a Quinnipiac, and I know this poll was everyone, Republicans and Democrats, but the first words that came to mind when asked about you were, liar, untrustworthy, crooked.
How does that make you feel?
Well, it certainly doesn't make me feel good, but I am very confident that by the time this campaign has run its course, People will know that what I've been saying is accurate.
They may disagree, as I now disagree, with the choice that I made.
But the facts that I have put forth have remained the same.
Did anyone in your inner circle say, this isn't such a good idea?
What difference at this point does it make?
You know, I was not thinking a lot when I got in.
There was so much work to be done.
This is the clip I had.
I love it.
Did anyone say it's not a good idea?
And her answer is, I wasn't really thinking a lot.
I was just, you know, I don't know.
I'm just hanging out.
But she never answered the question whether anybody ever said this was not a good idea.
No, no.
But she completely avoids the question with a very well done, I thought.
Yeah.
I was reminded, by the way, in that first answer of Bill Clinton, her husband, saying I had not had sexual relations, lying to the public, right to their eyes.
I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
Yes.
and it depends on the word is say this isn't such a good idea let's not do this you know i was not thinking a lot when i got in there was so much work to be done i was on bel somro what can i do had so many problems around the world i didn't really stop and think um what kind of email system will there be i just didn't raise judgment questions No, no.
I don't think so.
I think that the facts are pretty clear.
That was beautiful, by the way.
She does this very well, but they're good together.
And Hillary knows it, and she knows that she's going to get the so-called deaf questions, but she never answers them.
We had a lot of hard work, hard choices to make in those four years.
Who do we drone today?
And I'm very proud of the work we did.
And now the State Department has everything that they could have.
So at the end of the day, I am sorry that this has been confusing to people and has raised a lot of questions.
Just another one she does.
She calls everyone else an idiot.
I'm sorry.
I'm not sorry that I did this because I'm a criminal.
I'm sorry everyone is dumb.
I'm sorry that you're too stupid to understand.
I'm sorry.
You're so dumb.
I'm sorry you're a dummy.
...to make in those four years, and I'm very proud of the work we did.
And now the State Department has everything that they could have.
So at the end of the day, I am sorry that this has been confusing to people and has raised a lot of questions.
Stupid idiots.
But there are answers to all these questions, and I will continue to provide those answers.
By not answering them.
At the campaign now, you see huge crowds for Bernie Sanders and for Donald Trump.
And people talking about Joe Biden having an opening if he decides to make a difficult choice on an emotional level, which we understand.
Ooh, difficult, emotional.
They talk about how authentic these candidates are.
Does it hurt you when people say you're too lawyerly, you parse your words, you're not authentic, you're not connecting?
Well, that's just not my experience out campaigning.
I feel very, very good about where we are.
Are there real differences, big differences between you and Joe Biden?
All right, I want to stop this because we may want to come back to this.
I have a few things I need to interject.
The first thing is, thank you very much to producer...
Let me bring his name up here for a second.
Which producer did this for us?
Ah, crap.
I'll find it.
Our producer who parsed the entire State Department FOIA search website for the emails and has converted them all into individual text in one tarball.
So it's an archive.
And it'll be in the show notes under hrod.tar.
And you can untar those, and you can perform any kind.
You can do simple, you know, grep searches.
There's a million ways to do it.
And I just, I only got it last night, but I just went through a couple of them.
And there's some fun stuff in there, and I really want us to continue to look.
However, there's something missing from these emails.
And it was Brianna, I forget her last name, Bri...
I don't remember her last name.
But she's talking with the former chief of staff or deputy chief of staff, Brian Fallon, who worked with Hillary Clinton in the State Department.
And now he's obviously working on her campaign.
And this Brianna from CNN, you'll hear in this clip, she is given the information.
And I'll say that I really love what is happening with this email because it finally allows some real technology news.
It's not just tech-horny, hail Apple, where's the watch, where's the wearables, what's the new phone?
No.
Some real stuff, dudes named Ben and guys and gals who are interested in technology could really participate in a conversation because the players themselves, Hillary and Brianna from CNN and this spokeshole douchebag, have no idea what they're talking about.
But here's what we know.
We know that there was a server.
And that the emails are deleted from the server.
That doesn't mean that the information is gone.
Then all of a sudden we have this, they were wiped, or the server was wiped.
And I don't even know who said it or what that means, but if it was truly wiped, the only way I think to do that is if you take a bulk eraser, run it over the plates of the disk drive, and then shoot a hole in it with a shotgun.
Then maybe it's wiped and you can't get anything from it.
It came from a reporter's question.
Right, so we don't even know if it was actually wiped.
But apparently the FBI now has the server, and they have the well-established thumb drive that sat at Hillary's lawyer, which supposedly had all of the emails on it.
But we learned something new in this interview between Brianna from CNN, I forget her last name, who doesn't know what she's talking about, but she even says, I just wanted to stick it to you with a question, even though I don't know what it means.
But we learned something very important.
The State Department had them in paper copy and then last month the Justice Department received an electronic copy.
Just to be clear, Brian, this is an electronic copy that I imagine is a PDF form that David Kendall retained or is this the actual email with the metadata on it?
So she doesn't know what she's saying.
She's saying metadata.
What did she say?
What is that?
Okay, listen carefully, because we're about to learn something.
So the Justice Department, in addition to having the electronic form of the PDFs that was provided to the State Department...
So here's what we learned first of all.
The State Department said, we need all your emails, and that's how they came up with 50,000 pages, because they literally delivered the emails as paper, which was the request and is mandated by the State Department.
Now, when you print out emails, and you'll see this when you look at this archive, it only has...
It doesn't even have the email address.
It usually only has the name of the person.
Because if you have an email program, you print out an email, then it'll show who it's from, but not necessarily the email address.
But what it certainly does not include is the headers, the full header information.
Every email that comes in has all this...
We'll call it metadata, just to use their terms...
It has all this information that shows you the routing, where it came from, what servers it went through, how long it took to get there, lots of information.
And the big, oh, the Justice Department got all of our emails in electronic form.
It's PDFs!
This is not the actual emails.
It's PDFs of the emails.
They also now have the server.
So I don't know what the FBI is going to do with it, but they very well may seek to perform any type of operation on it.
And if they do, they will wipe the wipe server.
I don't know what wiped means.
The emails were deleted.
The emails were deleted.
The emails were deleted, but I think when you say wife...
But I'm asking you about the thumb drives.
You said that David Kendall had the electronic copies of the emails.
Those were PDF copies, right?
And I ask you this because I've tried to get this answered and I haven't been able to.
Yes.
These were not the actual emails that had the metadata.
These were not the emails as you would see them on a server if they hadn't been...
Do you see what I'm saying?
She doesn't know what she's saying.
He doesn't understand what she's saying.
He's getting very frustrated.
You see what I'm saying?
You don't see actual emails in electronic form.
Right, but I'm not sure what point you're making.
Now listen to her being shilled.
I'm just saying that there's more information and a judge has said that Cheryl Mills shouldn't delete emails like that.
That's a separate case.
I'm not sure why you're asking.
When you hear her say in the background, Honestly, I just wanted to be able to pin you down on some stuff.
But she doesn't know what she's talking about.
Someone is giving her this.
Someone is telling her to ask these questions in her IFB. I just said that Cheryl Mills shouldn't delete emails like that.
That's a separate case.
I'm not sure why you're asking.
I'm not sure why you're asking about your own business.
Because it follows certain standards, preservation documents, and that's why I asked.
Brianna, she's followed every request.
The State Department asked for emails in paper form, she provided them.
The Justice Department asked for them in electronic form, PDFs on a thumb drive, she provided them.
And she also provided the server.
I don't know what wiped means.
Literally, the emails were deleted off of the server.
That's true.
But it's quite possible.
I don't know that any steps were taken to remove any metadata.
So to the extent Well, yeah, you didn't provide the actual data.
...a further inquiry with respect to the server.
They won't find anything other than what we've already represented, which is that all the work-related emails were turned over.
And in fact, Hillary Clinton herself has signed a declaration asserting that.
So even if somehow they were able to look Not any of the emails that were not retained.
Okay, it's 15 more seconds.
I just want you to listen to the end.
This guy, you need to see his eye rolling.
He's like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And he's going, what?
And he's making faces because he doesn't know how to counter it.
She doesn't know what she's asking.
And then the ending of this is just priceless.
They wouldn't find anything in what we've always said, which is that all the work-related emails are in the possession of the State Department already.
No, they're not.
Well, I just wanted to take the opportunity to get to some of the decision-making processes, Brian, and I certainly appreciate you coming and talking to us about it.
Well, I have some more questions, but I'll follow up because we're out of time.
Okay.
But thanks so much for being on.
Okay, we'll follow up offline.
We'll follow up offline.
Now, there's a big problem.
The guy who did this, his name is Pagliano.
The guy who was a staffer and followed Hillary Clinton into the State Department, which is not abnormal.
You have someone working for you, you get a good gig like that, you're going to bring all your lieutenants in.
He's not going to testify.
Or he will.
So I actually have a clip.
Well, I have the clip here.
I have it here.
Well, I have...
I have this douchebag complaining and then...
Well, do you want to do yours first and then this douchebag again?
The reason I want to do mine is because mine...
I took mine from ABC. Yeah, good.
On the 3x3.
I got it.
3x3.
3x3.
Let's play it.
And ABC has...
Well, let me set it up.
Because I can't remind you about this.
ABC has a hard-on for Hillary.
A hard-on to get her out.
They're the only ones.
Sorry?
To get her out.
They don't want her.
And so they do a slanted story.
And it's beautiful.
It's so slick.
It's just a little side where it's like, of course.
And little things they slip in there to really give it to her.
Hillary Clinton under fire, of course, for that private server, questions about classified information and her email.
Tonight, the IT professional who helped Mrs.
Clinton set up that server called before a House committee, now planning to plead the fifth, refusing to testify.
The campaign says they encouraged him to testify, but he won't.
And many say it does not look good for her campaign.
Here's ABC's Cecilia Vega.
Today, Hillary Clinton's former chief of staff...
Ushered into a closed-door hearing on Capitol Hill, grilled all day by the House Committee investigating Benghazi and Clinton's private email server.
But tonight, Brian Pagliano, the former IT worker who helped set up that server in Clinton's New York home, is refusing to answer questions, invoking his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.
The Republican chairman of that committee saying...
Clinton's campaign calling Pagliano's decision to not testify disappointing, saying in a statement, Clinton has made every effort to answer questions and be as helpful as possible and has encouraged her aides, current and former, to do the same.
And Cecilia Vega with us now.
And with that IT worker now pleading the fifth and the optics of it all, many are still wondering the bigger picture here.
Can Hillary Clinton survive this email scandal?
Well, we have seen her poll numbers take a hit during this scandal.
Her campaign saying today that she plans to be more aggressive when it comes to these emails, that she will fully answer all of these lingering questions that are out there.
David, so much of this is going to come when she actually testifies during these Benghazi hearings next month.
But they recognize the damage being done.
All right, Cecilia, thank you.
Yes.
Yeah, they recognize the damage being done.
Mm-hmm.
Here's the spokeshole on that particular issue.
So in every instance so far, she's encouraged everyone to cooperate because we want to make every good faith effort to be transparent and answer any questions people have.
But with Mr.
Pagliano, we encouraged him as well because we don't think he has any reason to not be transparent about the help that he provided from an IT perspective.
Unfortunately, it's his choice what to do.
And I think that I can't speak for him, but I can only speculate from the words that have leaked out from the letter that his attorney sent to Capitol Hill.
Ah, smart.
Yep.
Yeah, listen to it.
He was afraid of being caught in a partisan swirl that now consumes three different committees on Capitol Hill where Republicans are trying to take this fact-finding expedition into a partisan exercise meant to hurt Hillary Clinton's campaign.
The only thing he fucked up on there, instead of saying fishing expedition, he said fact-finding expedition.
I would have berated him for that as my spokeshole.
I think he made his mistake there.
This, of course, came up in the briefing with the deputy spokeshole and our buddy Matt.
I don't know that it was unprecedented.
The question here is, is it unprecedented that a Secretary of State brought her own IT person in?
Which, of course, who gives a crap?
Of course it's not.
It happens all the time.
It depends on his qualifications.
I can't speak to the hiring decisions of former Secretary Clinton or her staff.
You know, certainly anyone who worked on her campaign, if they had the necessary skill set, would be certainly welcome to apply for an IT job anywhere, including the State Department.
The disdain with which he just said that, like, oh, you can, you know, IT job, you know, like a garbage collector or, you know, like you're digging ditches.
If it wants to be an IT job, you want an IT job.
Welcome to apply for an IT job.
IT job.
Anywhere, including the State Department.
But I can't speak to what decisions were made about that hiring at that time.
That's something for...
For her staff or for her to answer.
Does the State Department have a problem with him through his lawyer saying he's going to take the Fifth Amendment when he's asked to appear?
I mean, you know, our desire, our commitment throughout this has been to cooperate with the Benghazi Committee.
And to be responsive to congressional inquiries, which I believe and we believe we have been.
But we certainly respect the constitutional rights of individuals.
All right.
From the people who brought you the monkey doll, the National Enquirer, here is what this is really about.
And I believe this to be true.
I don't think there's...
A little background to people who want to understand why we would take the Enquirer's word at anything.
Well, have you not seen Men in Black?
The...
The National Enquirer, which is a funny gag in Men in Black, by the way.
The National Enquirer is known amongst journalists.
As being very accurate amongst all these papers, it's the most accurate.
And the reason there's disdain for them, they buy all their stories.
This is the reason that ABC has gotten no traction with that shoot down of that fat guy with his arms in the air because the affiliate of ABC bought that story.
And so it doesn't get any play with anyone else because the modern journalist has been taught in J school that you do not pay You do your reporting.
You find out that way.
But you do not pay people to tell you stuff.
And the National Enquirer routinely pays people for their photos and to tell you stuff that you would otherwise never hear.
And they're right on stuff.
They were right about O.J. Simpson.
In the day, they were right about John Edwards' love baby.
And there was story after story.
Most of the stuff was just idle gossip about Hollywood.
But there's these big stories.
They bring them out, and they're always right.
Well, it's still idle gossip.
About Hollywood.
But this is, I believe, they're right on this.
I don't know exactly where they got this from, but I'm sure they paid for it.
This is the problem that Hillary Clinton has.
We'll read verbatim from the National Enquirer, which I picked up because of the monkey doll.
Hillary Clinton isn't just caught in a political scandal over missing emails from her stint as Secretary of State.
By the way, I hate that.
Stint.
They always say, Adam Curry who had a stint on MTV. What is that, a stint?
Stint.
Just like I came in, pooped, and left?
No.
Her stint as Secretary of State.
She is terrified of personal revelations about a secret...
Wait, hold on a second.
Sorry.
I should have prepared that.
She's terrified about revelations of A Secret Lesbian Lifestyle!
Now, a world-exclusive investigation by National Enquirer reveals that some of the presidential candidates' famously, quote, deleted emails are packed full of lesbian references and her lover's names.
Quote, I don't think she's so concerned about emails referring to her as secretly gay, said a Clinton insider.
That's been out for years.
Her real fear is that some of the names of some of her lovers would be made public.
The Inquirer learned the list of Hillary's lesbian lovers includes a beauty in her early 30s.
Who could that be?
Oh, who has often traveled with Hillary.
A beauty in her early 30s who has often traveled with Hillary.
A popular TV and movie star.
The daughter of a top government official.
And a stunning model who got a career boost after allegedly sleeping with Hillary.
Hillary made the huge mistake of mixing public and private messages while using her personalized email server before risking a massive scandal by refusing to make the documents public.
There you go.
And they probably have the names of those people.
Well, we could probably deduce it just by that information.
Well, you could probably deduce them.
I'm sure you could deduce, which they assume nobody's going to do.
We can do that.
But I think when they hold back on stuff like that, that is for leverage purposes.
Of course.
They will go to those people.
They'll say, hey, I have an idea.
You want your name, you know, they knock on the door.
I mean, they're kind of like, you know, sleazeballs, but they get the story.
And I remain...
Fashion journalism.
We'll knock on the door of one of those people, not Uma Aberdeen probably, but one of the model or somebody, and say, look, we don't want to put your name in the next article we're doing on this, but we're blowing this out.
If you could just help us a little bit.
It's like the cops will operate this way.
Just help us a little bit.
Let me know.
Just tell us some other juice.
I guarantee you, and we're good for this.
They probably do have a reputation.
And I still believe if Hillary were to just...
It would solve everything in one go.
I know you say it'll be over, she'll never win, but there's only two ways she can go.
One way is to say, okay, the reason why I deleted it, because I've been a lesbian all this time, and I'm sorry, it's like I'm afraid, it's very hard...
You'll never be a lesbian, by the way.
I can guarantee that she'll be bisexual.
Okay, bisexual is fine.
But I had lesbian affairs, and I didn't want to embarrass other people, and I'm really sorry about that, and that's why I hate it.
And then it'll also be, hey, it's hard coming out in America.
Then she can go on that whole track about how hard it is for the LGBTQIAP, and I think it would endear people to her.
You don't think it would give her a chance in hell to win.
The only other alternative is Bill.
I mean, how's his health?
Something's got to happen quick.
I think you're right about that.
We argue about the timing of Bill.
And I'm...
Of the opinion it would be closer to the election when it would be needed.
And after the media, with their phony baloney polls, used to just get more money, scare the crap out of the campaign, that's when something might happen.
But you've always been of the opinion that it could be any minute.
Yes.
And this might be a good time to do that.
I hate it for Bill.
But he doesn't have to die, really.
I'm walking that back.
Hospitalized for a heart attack or something like that would do the job.
Yeah.
Anything where she would need to, you know, because at this point, she's not going to get any sympathy vote other than still my opinion.
If you say, hey, look, I was afraid to come out.
It's very difficult.
It was so bad that I was even against same-sex marriage until I wasn't.
That was all because that's how horrible it is to be gay or bisexual or lesbian or whatever in America because we're such assholes.
I think it would endear people to her, but okay.
You think it would be the final nail in the coffin.
Yeah.
I'm more realistic than you.
Then she only has one way to go, and that's Bill.
And he could, you know...
But then it would end every soon.
Because she's supposed to come up...
Now, she's going to...
She wants to avoid showing up for the hearings.
Now, she, I think, is scheduled.
They said...
I don't know when they said this.
It could have been last month.
End of October.
End of October.
So it has to be between...
She has to go through one series of debates.
Has to make sure Joe Biden's not in or whatever.
And then they...
Yeah.
This is going to be interesting timing.
She has to do something.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Well, I'm all in on that.
Let's compile a list.
Let's work on the list of who these women are.
Okay, let's make a note.
What are they?
Give me the descriptions again.
Okay, we have the descriptions.
Let me get it for you.
And this will all be in the show notes, obviously.
We have a beauty in her early 30s who has often traveled with Hillary.
Is that Uma Abedin?
Could be, but I don't know why.
I think Uma Abedin is a separate...
Hillary is particularly concerned about intimate emails to longtime aide Uma Abedin, who married U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner in a ceremony that many ridiculed as a political engagement.
Anthony later resigned over extramarital sexting scandals after porn star Sidney Leather said she believed he was in an open marriage.
So Uma Abedin is, I believe, separate from the beauty in her early 30s.
Okay.
Traveled with Hillary.
Okay.
Who traveled with Hillary.
This is where the chat room could be great, but, you know, they're not.
They don't care.
They just want to harass you.
A popular TV and movie star.
Now, who could be a popular and TV movie star?
That's got to be one of the presidential MKUltra models.
Any indication of age?
No, that's all I've got.
Just a popular TV and movie.
Well, we know she's in TV and movies.
That does narrow it.
That would be, I would say, well, that's not Ellen DeGeneres.
No, there's not going to be somebody like that.
No.
Because it would have to be somebody that would be embarrassed by the name coming out.
Ellen doesn't give a crap.
Right, right, right.
Okay, next...
The daughter of a top government official.
We'll never get that one.
Well, we have to look at who she's been associating with.
And a stunning model who got a career boost.
We should be able to figure that out.
After allegedly sleeping with Hillary.
And it's a stunning model.
Wow.
Hold on, John.
I'm leaving the chat room.
What a bunch of losers.
Oh, like, it's Oprah!
Okay, fine, I'm done.
Thank you.
It's Oprah.
Very funny.
Okay, stunning model means tall.
Good one.
Um...
They've got a career boost.
I don't know how that happened.
Okay, we can figure that out.
I think we can get them all except the daughter of the government official.
That one may be hard.
Yeah.
That's gonna be real hard.
Hmm.
Although, nah, I can't think of any.
You can't even come close.
No.
But that's the problem.
That's what this is about.
And all our time is being...
It's not about Benghazi.
They got nothing on the emails about Benghazi.
Morons, Republicans trying to make this into Benghazi.
It's not going to work.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, you don't know that.
It's possible that they're just using Benghazi as a shield to actually do this.
Okay.
Yeah, good point.
Good point.
Well, unless the server was...
Because one of the things that they have managed to do is get these emails, like you have the tarball there, out in the open.
If they could get the other ones out there, you know, somehow get them off the server if they're still on there as shadows, it would be dynamite.
It would be.
All right.
That's our Hillary report.
That is.
Now, you want to do anything on Trump?
A question for you.
So we signed this pledge.
That doesn't preclude him from being a write-in candidate, does it?
Yeah, it's supposed to.
Okay, so then the write-in thing, he had a big announcement at the end of the month.
Was this it?
I don't know.
The best way for the Republicans to win is if I win the nomination and go directly against whoever they happen to put up.
And for that reason...
Check this out.
Listen to the pin drop.
I have signed the pledge.
There's some guy who finally gets it started, just sitting there, I've signed the pledge.
No one's like, what?
People don't even know what the pledge is, I think.
I don't care.
So I will be totally pledging my allegiance to the Republican Party and the conservative principles for which it stands and we will go out and we will fight hard and we will win.
We will win.
And most importantly, we will make our country great again because that's what it's all about.
We have to make our country great.
That's right.
I think Trump has done something very smart.
And, first of all, if you're in New York real estate, you cannot be in New York real estate without dealing with the Jews, the New York Jews, and by definition, the Israeli lobby, and it sounds like Trump has had a meeting.
They hate to see what's going on, whether it's the horrible deal with Iran, that a baby could negotiate a better deal than that.
I love that line.
A monkey baby could negotiate a better deal than that.
And I like the idea of a deal, but they should have doubled up the sanctions for another couple of months, and they would have come to the table, and they would have been begging to make a good deal.
We don't get our prisoners back.
They have 24-day inspections.
You know, there's something in the Iran deal that people, I don't think, really understand or know about, and nobody's able to explain it, that if somebody attacks Iran, we have to come to their defense.
And I'm saying, does that include Israel?
And most people say yes.
If Israel attacks Iran, according to that deal, I believe the way it reads, unless they have a codicil or they have something to it, that we have to fight with Iran against Israel.
You tell me.
I mean, you're the one that does this professionally for a living.
He's talking to Don Lemon, like Don Lemon's going to do any work.
What does this agreement say?
If that's the case, I think it's unsignable.
How can you possibly sign such a thing?
He's got Israel behind him.
This is what you need.
Yeah.
I think he's done the deal.
He's done the deal.
That's why he's all against the Iran deal, which, I don't know if I mentioned it, but my Uncle Don wrote an op-ed about it, which I forwarded to John.
It was on email first, and now it's been posted, so it's in the show notes.
Yeah, people should read this, because I think this is actually my stance on this, too.
It's exactly the same.
Shall I just read a little bit of that?
Yeah, read some of it.
Yeah, because I thought it was quite good.
Here it is, the Iran nucleus.
He forwarded it to me, and somewhere it's...
Yeah, here it is.
It's posted.
In asserting the current nuclear deal with Iran, it may be useful to remind ourselves of some highly pertinent facts from the past that are seldom mentioned.
And for those of you who are new, my Uncle Don, you can look him up, Donald Gregg, Ambassador to South Korea, very high-ranking official.
Yes, in the OSS, then CIA, was National Security Advisor to Bush Sr., hated George W. Then something about Iran-Contra, which is very confusing, but he jotted something down, and then he was Ambassador to Korea.
First, in 1953, the democratically elected premier of Iran, Mohammad Mossadegh, was overthrown by those avatars of American exceptionalism, the Dulles brothers.
We might find it convenient to forget this, but the Iranians never will.
Mossadegh's major sin in our eyes was his nationalization of Iran's oil fields.
The British were particularly outraged by this, and the American coup was undertaken with London's full support.
True historical fact.
Second, in 1979, Iran's Islamic Revolution took place, spearheaded by the seizure of the American embassy in Tehran and bringing Ayatollah Rouhala Khomeini to power.
Undisputable fact.
Third, in 1980, Iraq invaded Iran over a border dispute and an ensuing bloody conflict that lasted for eight years, America strongly supported Iraq against Iran.
Fourth, In early 2002, George W. Bush, President George W. Bush, gave his Axis of Evil speech, which led to the invasion of Iraq in 2003, created a deeply hostile relationship between Iran and the U.S., and ended a hopeful period of reproachment between Washington and North Korea.
You see, you get the idea why you never see my Uncle Don on television anymore, because he's not along with the program.
He tells the truth.
Of course, he's now, you know, he's 87, he doesn't give a shit anymore.
Fifth, from 2005 to 2013, Mohammed Ahmadinejad, rabidly anti-Israel and anti-American, was president of Iran.
Any sort of intensive diplomatic activity with the Iranians during that period would have been impossible.
This is a record of wreckage and conflict in the Middle East that President Obama seeks to curtail by reaching out to Iran that is not only a powerful country, but also a proud civilization, then known as Persia, going back thousands of years.
Iran is a permanent major fact of life in its region.
Can the same be said of fractured Iraq or tragic Syria?
A full diplomatic relationship with Tehran is very much in our interest and is sought by most Iranians.
True!
True, true, true.
We know from Lex, his wife, the Persian, who says, oh, we know that America and Iran are working together, we love it, we love our iPhones, you know, Farsi, one of the most used languages on the internet, modern, the kids are modern, very young population.
But of course, they're being demonized by the military-industrial complex.
McCain, I'm looking at you.
Iran is already changing.
The elections of 2013 brought to power moderate men with whom it was possible to negotiate this deal.
Our partners in this accomplishment, China, France, Germany, Russia, and the U.K., are all comfortable with it, which is a tremendous argument in its favor.
Will Iran fully comply with the letter and spirit of the agreement?
They probably will, but maybe they won't.
But the agreement puts us in a position via inspections to know how the Iranians are behaving and to react appropriately.
So I, Donald Gregg, strongly believe that this agreement is in our interest, that we are better off with it than without it, that U.S. legislators should support the deal, that in 10 years it will stand as one of President Obama's greatest achievements, and that even the Israelis will have come to recognize that we have done them a great favor by bringing Iran back into and that even the Israelis will have come to recognize that we have done them a great
And that last paragraph, of course, takes him off anybody's radar, because to even have the audacity to say that Israel would appreciate the deal in years to come means you're no-go.
You're toxic.
And I think he's right.
I agree.
And so this only shows that Donald Trump is squarely in the pro-Israeli camp, which will probably help him a lot, but makes him a douchebag.
I hate to say.
But I like him.
Well, he has to be, because if he doesn't get in, which I doubt he will, he has to go back to doing business.
Yeah, God forbid.
In mostly New York City.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Woo!
That could be very difficult.
So it won't be difficult because he was behind them all the way.
Correct.
And you know if he got in as president, which is not going to happen, it might happen in 2020, but if it did happen, he wouldn't dump that thing.
There's no way.
Once this thing's signed off and the whole thing, nobody reverses anything.
You talk a big game, it never happens.
I agree.
So, that's a done deal.
Obama's got his thing, and he will have a legacy.
He's got to accomplish some damn thing while he was in office.
Yeah.
I think he accomplished two big things.
One is opening Cuba up, which is a big deal, I think.
And the other thing is this.
This contract with the Iranians, I think, is a big deal.
The rest of it was, I don't know, I didn't think he did a very good job.
Less than ten minutes to go.
Okay?
Okay.
Final thoughts, John.
Well, I do have a clip about Austin, Texas, which I'd like to play, but I think I want to push this off to the Thursday show when there's actually somebody listening.
Oh, yeah, that's a good point.
I do have a little Burning Man news.
Oh, God.
A little Burning Man news.
Play Burning Man news.
Just when you thought you've seen it all at the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert, that's not smoke, it's high winds whipping up a dust devil as revelers in various states of undress looked on in amazement.
Wind gusts in the area up to 40 miles an hour.
Party on.
It says party on.
And they had all these blotches all over this shot because there were a bunch of naked assholes walking around nude.
Hey, look at my buns.
Hey, want to trade some food for a blowjob?
It's crazy, man.
Who wants to do that crap?
My final thing is, well, we knew it was going to happen.
I've been happily vaping away for the past couple of months.
And, of course, this study show that it is an excellent way to wean people off of smoking cigarettes.
The jury is out on how dangerous it is itself.
But that's not good enough.
Now, we have to placate big tobacco, I presume, by initiating the following report.
This is Flocka, just one of the inexpensive synthetic drugs ravaging South Florida.
And there's a new twist that's making fighting these drugs even harder.
Can you guess, John?
Can you guess?
Is this reporter Christina Warren?
E-cigarettes or vaporizer pens.
It's just a huge challenge.
It's affecting our entire communities from prevention to rehabilitation.
She's in a cop car.
Rehabilitation.
Lieutenant Ozzy Tianga says vaping drugs is so discreet, teens can do it right in school.
There's no scent.
They sit in the back of the room and they think it's funny and they're vaping.
And what they're vaping, I cannot determine.
Somehow he thinks you stuff some drugs in there and it vapes and it works.
It has to be a liquid form, but okay.
And that same secrecy makes it tough for police to know what's inside that vape pen.
They have to get it tested by a lab.
And you can't determine what's in it right away.
Not at all.
In fact, these individuals can't smoke it right in front of you.
No one knows just how many people have been injured or have died from vaping.
Well, you don't know, so why even mention it?
Synthetic drugs.
But already, emergency rooms are seeing an increase.
And the stories are disturbing.
I think that these devices do have a role in helping people get off of actual cigarettes, and that they may be proven safer in that case.
But in the hands of teenagers and drug abusers, they are definitely a very dangerous thing to have.
Ah, you can see where this is going.
It's the war on vaping.
The thing to remember here, Jake, is that these are not classified as drug paraphernalia.
There's no federal age limit on who can buy them, although many states do have restrictions.
But these shops are popping up everywhere, and not to mention they can easily be bought on the Internet.
Yo!
Look for vaping to be outlawed everywhere.
Well, they've been trying to do something about it.
I still get the biggest kick out of these homebrew, these hobbyists.
Oh, they had plenty of shots of those guys with the big batteries and the huge vape reservoir.
Oh, yeah.
It's crazy.
Yeah, and they just take a pot and it just fills the room with smoke.
It's unbelievable.
They're all over there.
If anyone on YouTube wants to see a supercharged vaporizer, just look that up and you'll find these guys.
They show you how to do it.
You put a couple of 9 volts batteries in there and you drain the things.
It's beautiful.
It definitely shows you the ingenuity of the American doper.
Yeah, the American teenager, I'd almost want to venture to say.
Yes, well, that'll conclude nicely with the commentary about Austin.
I got one last clip.
Oh, you do want to?
I'm sorry.
I thought you weren't going to do that.
Okay.
SAT score is down.
Hold on.
SAT scores.
This better be a good kicker.
This year's national SAT scores are not good.
The average 1490 out of 2400 is the lowest since the exam was revamped a decade ago.
But this is what really caught our attention.
The percentage of students who scored high enough to be considered college ready was just 42%.
Not even half.
That's right.
Common core.
So what?
Yeah.
Not everyone wants to go to college.
It's just a big scam to steal your money nowadays.
You know, I didn't know this.
I don't know anything much about fraternity or sorority life.
But you have to pay if you're in a fraternity or sorority?
There's dues?
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
I didn't know there was dues.
Are you saying it's free?
I had no idea.
And it's not cheap.
No, of course not.
It's a club.
Yeah.
It has dues.
It's expensive.
It can be very expensive.
It's one of the high-end ones.
Wow.
But, you know, a lot of them, you live there.
I mean, there's some fraternities that let you just join the fraternity.
You live wherever you want.
Most of the time, it's room and board, and you're there, and you get the benefits of being in the fraternity.
And most of the benefits have to do with cheating.
Cheating on scores?
Yeah, cheating on tests.
Excellent.
Excellent.
Alrighty.
I'm not sure where I'll be for the next program, but...
Well, you sounded good from where you are.
Yeah, you sound good, too.
I'm happy.
I'd hope to find a place where I can test out the booster and the Yagi antenna.
That would be very cool.
So we're still working on the Flying Burrito I Love Laundry Tour.
And the Wi-Fi access point is I Love Laundry.
So if you're near, you'll be able to at least track my signal.
Also available on APRS.fi.
It's for the hams.
Yeah, figured that out.
All right, John.
Well, hopefully we'll have more support and more people listening on Thursday.
Yeah, let's hope so.
Jeez.
Yeah, okay.
Thank you very much for your courage, John, and coming to you from the Flying Burrito in Galveston Island, Texas.
Still FEMA Region 6 in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where the...
I just love this traffic.
This is the way it should be all the time.
I'm John C. Devorak.
We'll be back on Thursday with another episode right here on No Agenda.
No Agenda.
And now we've made sure that everything that could be considered work-related is in the system of the State Department.
Did anyone in your inner circle say, this isn't such a good idea, let's not do this?
You know, I was not thinking a lot when I got in.
There was so much work to be done.
We had so many problems around the world.
I didn't really stop and think.
There's no real conflict!
At the end of the day, I am sorry that this has been confusing to people and has raised a lot of questions.
Yeah, I know, yeah, I know.
Yeah, I know, yeah, I know.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, I know, yeah, I know.
That's how we roll.
I'm Joe Biden, and thank you for taking the time to listen.
Adios, mofo.
The best podcast in the universe.
