Get back and do what you're supposed to do, slave.
Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
It's Thursday, September 10th, 2015.
Time once again for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 755.
This is No Agenda.
Broadcasting live from FEMA Region 6 in the capital of the drone star state, your polymath of podcasting.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
and from northern Silicon Valley where my cell phone battery is dead.
I'm John C. DeVore.
It's Crack, Modern, Buzzkill.
In the morning.
That's right.
Every hour, 8 after 8, 8 on the 8s, we give you a John C. Dvorak cell phone battery status update.
Woohoo!
Did your battery go dead on a cell phone?
It's been a long time since that happened.
Huh.
So, is it dead dead or just not charged?
Just not charged.
Oh, well...
Gee...
Okay.
Well, since we're starting off with that, John, let me say, Hail Apple!
Hail Apple to you.
Hail Apple to you and Hail Apple to everybody else.
Yeah.
I know you watched.
I know you watched.
I did.
That's why I kind of screwed up in the newsletter.
You know, I like Andrew Horowitz, but I don't know if we should be, you know, linking to the Dvorak Horowitz Unplugged show to our No Agenda donors.
That was a bit...
Well, it actually went to the right account because five or six years ago when we started off, I only had one PayPal account and they all went into the same one.
The Horowitz part was taken out and still is.
It's not in there anymore.
But there's still these old links.
And so if anyone donates to that link, that particular link, which I put in the newsletter accidentally, it'll go into the No Agenda old bank account.
I have to say, you know, this is I think the first mistake like this in the newsletter, and I don't know how many we've sent.
Well, the reason I mentioned it, I was very embarrassed.
Yeah, I can tell you.
People can use that link.
I'd rather you not use the first link in the last newsletter.
There's another link down at the bottom that's correct.
But it still goes into the same bank accounts.
But what was happening is I was watching that stupid Apple thing.
Hail Apple!
Hail Apple while doing the newsletter.
Wait a minute.
Are we doing tech news right off the bat early on?
You're the one that said Hail Apple.
No, well, you started with your phone battery being empty.
Right?
Right?
Tech news.
Tech news, dead batteries on phones.
That's right, everybody.
What the hell was that?
That wasn't my tech news.
Wow.
I don't know where that came from.
Beach Boys doing tech news.
You know where I watched it?
In your trailer.
No.
In the car on the way to San Antonio.
You're going to Santa?
Oh, okay.
Yeah, for my therapy.
How can you...
Watch the road!
I was only glancing once in a while.
Oh!
But you know what?
These guys...
You're gonna get killed!
No, no, no.
The Curry Dvorak Consulting Group needs to step in.
When did these guys lose the whole idea that this is a show and it just turns into a moronically scripted, bad actor reading...
You know, marginally interesting demo fest.
Worse than that, it's like, hey man, you gonna tuck your shirt in or no?
I'm wearing it out.
I have this shirt tucked in, so let's not tuck in our shirts.
Oh, man.
Okay, man, you gonna wear like monochrome or you gonna wear like flannel?
I think we should go in monochrome, man.
I get the red.
What I loved is that everything that was being predicted was wrong.
Like, you know, the Apple TV, you know, it will suck.
It's no good.
It's just going to be like big memory.
And what was the other thing I was noticing?
Oh, there will be no tab, no pen with the tablet, with the Pro.
Well, and that was partially true because it's an Apple Pencil.
I hear that Johnny Ives.
Right up to the end, these guys who were predicting all this said they're not going to do anything with the new iPad.
It's going to be in October.
Right to the very end.
Yeah, right, yeah.
Yeah.
Although, I'll say, I'm going to have to, you know, I'm a big guy, I'm big on time-saving.
You know, repetitive tasks, if you can remove those, particularly when it comes to communications, like email.
And I have, was it, maybe, was it Phil Schiller?
Now, who's the other guy?
The guy whose name I can never remember.
The thin-faced guy.
You know what I mean.
Tim Cook?
Yeah, no, not Tim, not Tom Collins.
The other guy, the Moriarty, what's his name?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Just go on.
Yeah, so he's showing things, repetitive tasks in iOS email.
Federighi, that guy.
Federighi.
And I do the exact same thing where you click on an email.
Oh, I don't want to deal with it now.
Then mark on red, flag, go back.
And that's 15 seconds.
Now you do 100 of those.
It's real time.
I'm a busy guy.
I use squirrel mail.
Yeah, I know.
And you're always great at answering email.
So they have a fix for it.
Which will only work on the iPhone 6S with that peak and poke thing.
So curse you.
I think I have to get that.
Because that is something that will save me time.
Everything else is bullcrap.
Stupid watch.
Oh, we don't have any time for financial updates or updates on how we're doing.
Because you suck.
Because the watch sucks.
You know what?
They've got new bands for the watch.
You know what?
I'm telling you.
This is a company whose executives are on coke.
Well.
I'm telling you.
That's an interesting accusation.
I didn't see any of them go to their nose or scratching their nose.
No, no.
Popping their nose.
I think they were coked up in the meetings about the products.
I'm telling you.
I'm telling you.
They have the earmarks and there's no earmarks.
Okay, well I want you to pay attention next time.
I think they're just diluted.
I don't think it's got any drug involvement.
Okay.
I have sources.
You have a source.
You do not.
Okay.
I don't have sources.
All right.
I don't.
Yeah, man.
You should have seen the piles.
Say hello to my little friend.
They had the Apple logo, but made out of Coke, man.
It was fucking awesome.
What else can you explain all this craziness for?
Only something my mother would say.
And they're stealing all the toilet paper.
Oh no, that's the Chinese.
Every single time, it was like, I'm very excited.
The script is the same.
It's amazing.
They said amazing.
No, Tim Collins Cook said, amazing.
He actually did a three-syllable amazing.
I wish I had clipped that.
Yeah, I should have clipped it too.
I did have a couple.
I did have one clip, but I'll say...
Really?
No.
No, no, no.
And then I'm looking at this Apple TV. I'm like, it's basically a podcasting thing.
It is?
Yeah, with apps and everything.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I agree.
Apps are the future of television.
Hail Apple.
We have 3D Touch.
Hey, baby.
I want to show you my 3D Touch.
Come over here.
Oh, yeah.
Hold on.
See that logo on the table?
That's not a logo.
Anyway, I want to thank you, John.
Yes.
You kept on it long enough and finally...
So, coming back from Galveston, where I think we had a pretty successful show from another I Love Laundry taster.
I thought it was pretty good, yeah.
Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it.
I got a whole bunch of jingles.
Before they say, I love laundry?
Well, there's a whole bunch of things from one of our...
Okay, we'll run them all at the end.
Or when they're needed.
Well, I was going to talk about the I Love Laundry Tour.
I love laundry.
So, of course, the storage place where I store the trailer was closed on Labor Day.
It makes total sense.
You're going to use it.
So I had to bring it back on Tuesday.
And I had a meeting with Sir Gene in Austin.
And I was like, oh, what am I going to do?
So I decided to stay at a KOA, KOA, Campground of America, camping site.
And they run the two big chains.
Yep.
I like Koa.
It's actually not really a chain.
It's all independent.
You just get licensed so you can be in their guide.
I think there are some standards you have to adhere to.
They probably check them out.
Yeah, I'm sure.
And they got this great spot at the Koa in Bastrop.
Historical Bastrop, Mike.
You have a great spot at the Koa in Bastrop?
Yes, Bastrop with a P. Bastrop.
Yeah.
Historical.
Bastrop.
Historical Bastrop.
Okay.
It was really exciting.
It was very exciting.
Here's what was great.
So Tina had to work, so she went home.
You went it alone?
I went it alone.
And I took my time figuring out all the gizmos in the trailer, such as the sound system, and I figured out how to get the TV over the speakers, and I got a Roku stick, and everything's all set up.
I got me a six-pack of Shiner.
Like, okay.
And I binged on the first six episodes of Mr.
Robot, and Holy crap.
I told you.
Yeah, I know you told me.
And I thank you for that.
This is the television event of 2015.
I think so, too.
And it resonated so deeply with me, certainly when Elliot, the protagonist, is talking about how we as people, just like computer systems, have bugs and we have daemons that are running, waiting for some event to take place.
It was so profound that it actually became a major topic in my therapy session.
Jeez!
Yeah!
I think they're talking to me directly through the television.
Hey!
Hey!
Did you talk to my therapist?
Is that possible?
And, you know, the idea of what The Matrix is, of course, The Matrix is all this, you know, so-called money belief system, which is all just data.
I'm not going to spoil anything, but I recommend everybody who listens to No Agenda watch this show.
And I got it on, I think part of the reason why I didn't watch it, because, like, USA Network, you know, I just wanted to purchase it and watch it, and Amazon has it so you can, you know, buy the whole season in one go.
And watch it.
So I haven't watched it all because, you know, we had prep for the show.
But I easily could have just gone on forever and just watched the whole thing.
Well, luckily it's only 10 episodes, so it wouldn't have gone on forever.
But it's really, really good.
Really, really good.
Well, a couple of things you should know.
Mm-hmm.
First of all, the creator of the show says that the first season, which is the one you're going through, is all exposition.
There is no plot until season two.
Well, there is a plot.
No.
The plot is to bring down Evil Corp.
No, this is all exposition.
Oh, so there's even more coming.
It's going to be much better.
There's a plot, the actual plot.
My goodness.
There's a story with twists and turns.
But the idea of this...
Yeah, so first of all, the human being as a computing system with daemons that are running in the background, which of course is just like your demons and all these metaphors, which I really liked a lot.
But then, you know, the guy kind of lives in this no-agenda world where you see all the bullcrap.
Everything's shite.
It's all make-believe.
It's all pretend.
And everybody's happy and all fuzzy and posting all, you know, about their great lives on the face page and everything.
And it's very much how I think all the time.
It's a little disconcerting.
Like, hmm...
In fact, on the way back from San Antonio...
You've disconnected yourself from the phone...
That's a huge deal.
Those people that you see, they discuss this on the TV. They say, oh, I feel naked without my phone.
I have to have my phone.
I don't have my phone.
I don't know what to do.
I don't have my phone.
I don't have my phone.
Right.
So that's a big deal.
Yeah.
But, you know, the concept of money, but also what is really important in life.
And on the way, I had this ritual because, you know, I take Junior Adam, who is, you know, the younger me.
I'm working on him in my therapy.
Yeah.
And I treat him to junk food on the way home.
This is the way you rationalize this?
This is very funny.
What do you mean, rationalize?
You're rationalizing eating junk food as some form of therapy.
Yes, exactly.
Yes, I'm going to McDonald's.
No, I went to Burger King.
Just to show myself that I can do it.
No, Junior Adam wanted to go to Burger King.
Oh, Burger King.
Well, that's better.
It's grilled.
Yeah, it is better.
And it's one off the highway, kind of an older one.
Those burgers, like both the burgers at McDonald's, Burger King 2, both the burgers and the buns are about 30% wood.
Yeah.
Isn't there silicon in that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Actually, on the way down to, on the way over to Galveston, we had a Dairy Queen burger.
Those are good.
I like Dairy Queen.
Dairy Queen burger's good, yeah.
I like that.
You can just get a cone.
A cone of burger?
No, but a Dairy Queen.
Just give me some raw burger in a cone.
But I have had a Dairy Queen burger, and not all the Dairy Queens are quite the same.
It's a funny kind of a franchise.
But some of them make an outstanding burger.
I have to agree.
So anyway, I'm at the Burger King, and it's not very full.
And I'm just sitting down, and then one of the employees is like, hello, excuse me, sir, sir, sir.
I'm like, yeah.
Is that red truck yours?
Do you have a red truck?
Is it red?
No.
Who has a red truck?
Who has a red truck?
Now, while this is happening, just out of my peripheral vision, there's this kind of homeless guy who just comes in, and he's really effed up looking.
And, you know, he doesn't look healthy, and I'm just kind of looking at him out of the corner of my eye, and I know everyone else saw him, and I'm just wondering, you know, what his story is.
But he doesn't look good.
And then, you know, this employee, sir, sir, whose red truck is this?
Whose red truck is this?
And someone goes, yes, my red truck.
I just got a complaint about your dog.
Your dog's in there, and maybe he can't breathe.
I was thinking, how fucked up is the world?
But there's a freaking out about a stupid chihuahua dog in a truck.
And meanwhile, there's an actual human being in distress sitting right there, and no one cares.
They step right over him.
Because, oh, the dog!
We got a complaint about the dog in your truck.
He's barking!
I can see the red truck.
The windows were down.
The dog's got his head out.
It was raining.
It was raining.
The dog had his head out the window, and they were worked up.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Sir!
Wow!
You people are in the Matrix.
Well, they're in something.
Yeah, it's not good.
They're diluted.
Yes, diluted is the word.
Correct.
Well, talking about diluted, since you're talking about food, I have a clip.
Okay.
So there's this guy, this supposedly very incredibly famous chef, and I suppose he knows how to cook well, named Dan Barber, who did a pop-up restaurant.
But let's share this story by going to a new joint venture using the PBS NewsHour plus NPR, and they do this idiot chef Dan Barber intro with the vocal fry woman.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Now to our latest installment in our occasional series that we're calling Food Glorious Food.
When they say occasional series, that means it's filler that's been sitting on the shelf and they were just a minute short in the D-block.
Yeah.
Well, just letting people know.
It's how it works and broadcast later.
Now to our latest installment in our occasional series that we're calling Food Glorious Food.
We've been looking at efforts to reduce food waste and to use it more productively.
During our reporting earlier this year, we dropped in on noted chef Dan Barber, who had just launched a pop-up restaurant in Manhattan.
He was showcasing how good food could be created from ingredients we normally toss out.
Alison Aubrey of NPR took a look at what was on the menu and Barber's approach.
This story is part of the NewsHour's ongoing collaboration with NPR.
Ordering a salmon, an eggplant egg, and ending a burger dumpling.
Yes!
At 7 p.m., the kitchen was working at full throttle, and the restaurant was packed.
The main draw?
Think of it as Michelin-starred waste.
That's what chef Dan Barber was serving up at his Tony Greenwich Village restaurant for $15 a plate.
Barber's restaurant, Blue Hill, underwent an eco-makeover of sorts.
Every night for three weeks, he transformed food trash into treasure, and In the morning, this is Sir Jeff Smith saying, say no to vocal fry.
The more you know, in the morning.
Okay, so the burger is made from the stuff they throw away from the juice bar.
You know, the goop.
No, the pulp.
Yeah, the pulpy goop.
Well, it's not even goop.
It's dry.
It's really dry.
Oh, okay.
Dry, dry.
So the whole place is using tossed away stuff to make these little dishes.
And this place is packed.
And so when you get into part two, which is the idiot New York City chef, and if you can just listen to the ingredients when they're describing it, describe it to these people they're serving this too.
And this place is packed with all these typical, you know, upper mobile New Yorkers.
Douchebags!
Douchebags!
Draped with a white fabric that farmers use on their crops as a cover to fend off pests.
The tables were lit up with tallow candles, which is rendered beef fat.
This is the Ebola girl, isn't it?
It sounds like her.
Yeah, I think she is, yeah.
So we basically made a broth that was fortified with flat beer.
Michael Ferrello and Margie Inverve just finished a dumpster dive salad made with bruised apples and pears, salvaged from a food processor in the neighborhood.
And what's in that dressing?
Water leftover from canned chickpeas.
And as you were tasting it, were you thinking, this is leftover from an industrial food processor?
How was it?
Surprisingly good.
Yeah, delightfully surprisingly good.
It was great.
It's sort of shabby chic.
She almost ordered a dish called dog food, made from animal organs that are usually discarded.
But...
We planned to order the dog food, but we made a last-minute turn in a different direction.
The other idea is to look at some of these ingredients like this and others that you're going to see later tonight and start to think about it in the context of where were we with sushi 30 years ago, right?
I mean, anyone who was going out to have a sushi dinner 30 years ago is crazy.
It would be like eating insects today, right?
Sushi 30 years ago is the insects of today.
Okay!
Sushi is the insect of today?
This bullcrap.
Hold on, let's just do the jingle.
Come on.
I love bugs!
Woo!
Bugs! Bugs! Bugs! Sushi 30 years ago.
I And it was expensive as it is today.
It's a luxury item.
It's not the bugs of today.
It never was the bugs of any era.
The Japanese have been eating it for eons.
I suppose you can say some African tribes or maybe Indians in California use the larva.
But this is just nuts.
You can sell anything to anybody when they live in the matrix.
Let me see if that was the...
No, that's not.
I thought I had the Ebola girl.
Well, it's coincidental that you bring up, you know, food.
I received a number of emails from our producers out there in Gitmo Nation who were, and they weren't defensive about it.
They said, just so you know, I grew up eating squirrel.
I like squirrel.
You know, we still eat squirrel.
You know, lots of people eating squirrel.
Yeah.
It's a southern recipe.
It's the main ingredient in burgu, which is a form of stew.
You stew the squirrel.
If you stew the squirrel, it's going to taste a lot like a rabbit.
But the report that you had where they cooked up, oh, I can't even get my fork into it.
I mean, this is...
It's clearly bullshit.
Because they're idiots.
It's bullshit.
Maybe they really can't cook, or it's just bullcrap.
And the same bullcrap...
It's Monbiot.
The guy is like a writer that...
Ah, he's British.
He's British, right?
Yeah.
Okay, then this report from the UK of Gitmo Nation East makes sense.
Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
I'm referring, of course, to John Metrick, the high-peak butcher whose latest delicacy is flying off the shelves.
And his customers are going nuts for them.
The bakers thought I was mad when I said, can we cook these squirrels and make them into a pie?
But they've been really struggling to try and keep up with demand.
True to form, though, and the squirrel is dividing opinion.
Squirrels are seen as cute little animals, which they are.
But then, on the other hand, we've had other people who've had experiences where squirrels have done damage to the trees in the garden or they've gone into the loft and damaged cables and insulation and things, and they don't have a different viewpoint on it.
Yeah, I'll say.
Of course, we have to have man on the street or man in the shop, as it were, about the squirrel.
Oh, my!
Oh, my, squirrel!
You're eating squirrel pie!
They're made using grey squirrels that have been professionally culled in North Lancashire and Cumbria.
Around 200 squirrel and vegetable pies have been sold since John started selling them last month.
Ooh!
Fresh from the oven and...
That's three a day.
What gives a crap about these?
Not even three a day.
What are these statistics?
It's time for a taste test.
I can't say it tastes like a squirrel because I've never tasted it before.
Yeah.
But you like it?
Yeah.
It's quite nice.
Yeah, it's quite nice.
You like it?
I like it.
Mmm.
Yeah.
It's possible.
Yeah, it's possible.
What do you think?
It's possible.
It's like a transsexual.
Oh, it's possible.
This squirrel looks just like a squirrel.
I'm a squirrel to cat transgendered.
And with a description like that, I had to find out for myself.
Now our fearless reporter is going to try squirrel pie!
Just get a bit of the game there.
Yeah, it's gaming.
It's gaming.
Winter warming pie.
No, you don't need to convince me.
It's lovely.
It's lovely.
It's just lovely.
Is it rodents or is it game?
And it goes on and on and on.
I'd like to keep playing it.
Oh, no.
It goes on and on and on.
Squirrel.
Sold three a day.
Woo!
You know, people need to get used to this because this clearly is being done because, you know, people are hungry.
It's a global depression.
No one wants to admit it.
I know.
I got the next thing on the stairway to hell.
Okay.
More food?
We're going to be sold a bill of goods on eating rat and mice.
Hmm.
Probably rat more than mice because there's not a lot of meat on a house.
Yeah, the rat has much more going for it.
Yeah, it's bigger.
It's easier to butcher.
Yeah.
Get the liver out.
Ah, fricassee of rat liver.
Mmm.
Yum.
I would have bodied rats.
I don't mind.
I'll beat anything.
I guess.
Kinda.
No, you won't.
Yeah, I will.
You've never had raw sea cucumber.
I would eat it.
No, I don't think so.
There's a lot of stuff I won't eat.
I mean, I'm pretty eclectic.
I'll eat most everything, but there's some stuff I just won't eat.
Okay, name it.
I can't think of anything.
I don't like kidneys generally because nobody knows how to cook them correctly.
Oh, I like kidneys if they're done properly.
I like kidneys.
There's a couple of things I just don't like.
Monkey brains?
Monkey brains I won't eat because it's not a healthy thing.
You can get Kuru.
Do you remember the video?
Here's a throwback.
Faces of death.
Do you remember that video?
Yeah, I do.
That's an old...
That was a very famous...
It was the first viral video of our age.
Exactly.
That's exactly what it was.
Oh, you had to pay.
Well, no.
You'd get a copy.
You'd get a VHS copy of a copy of a copy.
Yeah, that's an old growing hairs thing.
That's the great thing about digital.
That doesn't happen anymore.
And it wouldn't sync up.
You'd go...
Anyway, Faces of Death was this video that when I was a kid that passed around like, Hey, have you seen Faces of Death?
No, no.
And you saw people dying.
But then there was this one scene near the end where there was, I think, a Japanese restaurant in Japan, or maybe it was China, I don't recall.
And there was a round table in the middle.
There was a hole, and they'd stick a monkey up there, who was not dead, but he was sedated.
They chopped the top of his head off, and the people were, like, scooping the brains out, going, ooh, I don't know.
Like they were really enjoying it.
Yeah.
That was gross.
It was cool.
It wasn't gross.
It was cool, man.
I'd do it.
That was cool.
I'll be right there.
I've been living in Texas long enough.
I can do that sort of thing.
I'm not with, like, Californians.
Yeah.
Sure.
You'd be like that.
You're just jealous.
I'm telling you.
Jealous.
Hey, so I think it happened pretty much as we expected.
I don't want to say predicted, but as we expected.
François Hollande, the présidente de France, has come out and said, you know what, we're going to fly some sorties over Syria there because, you know, this refugee crisis.
Clearly Assad has to go.
Clearly it has to go.
Yeah, they're all in on this.
Yeah, but it was only a matter of...
Oh, no, that's a shitty clip.
Speaking French is no good.
But now we have everyone kind of trying to position themselves.
Now, Germany...
They had a, and I said, you know, Germany needs migrants.
Well, a couple things happened.
First, in the EU Parliament, again, there's no audio, no usable audio for the show, but one of the Italian members of Parliament put on an Angela Merkel mask.
I don't know if you saw those videos, but I did put it in the show, and it was pretty funny.
And Jean-Claude Juncker, Juncker the Drunker, is doing some speech about, oh, how we have to distribute, and everyone has to take some migrants, because they're still migrants, not refugees.
And this guy comes down, and we're wearing an Angela Merkel shirt, and he's from the Italian fraction...
And the t-shirt says, you know, Angela Merkel, you know, it's pretty much an Angela Merkel t-shirt saying, you know, we'll take all the Syrians and Italy can have all the Libyans.
And this is pertinent to what's really going on because Germany, according to a study that was done, I think, two or three years ago, I have in the show notes, they need 500,000 migrants a year until 2050, right?
In order to keep the country growing.
And of course, they want in Syria.
And also, you need that many people so they can contribute to the tax base for the welfare state that they run.
Of course, of course.
And they're sticking them in container homes.
They've got huge stacks of containers.
Yeah, well, that can be architected.
You know that.
Sure, sure.
But I guess that's the point.
Wow, they're really enjoying these migrants coming in, but not the Libyans, you see.
We don't want the stupid morons.
Let me get this, what I see here then.
Because if you haven't noticed, the Germans were up front.
We want the migrants.
Yes.
But what they did is they said, we're going to take 200,000 of them.
They said 800,000.
800,000.
800,000 of these Syrians.
And so they're in before anybody else can have dibs on the Syrians.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And so they get all the Syrians looking like a big, you know, magnanimous country.
The Austrians, by the way, grabbing all the Syrians they can get too.
And Marine Le Pen of the far-right, crazy, messed-up party over there in France...
She had a pretty interesting speech.
Again, not interesting audio-wise because I don't have a spoken translation.
Quote, Germany is exploiting refugees suffering to recruit slaves via mass immigration.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
I agree.
Yeah, I agree.
Now you have, then you have Denmark.
I'm saying, do not show up.
In fact, they published an anti-refugee ad.
They have a whole campaign going.
So everyone can see, whatever you do, do not come to Denmark.
We do not let you in easily.
Stay away.
We don't want you.
We have...
Actually, what was happening in Hungary...
Well, that fits in a different category.
What else did we have?
We had the...
So they have Denmark...
We have David Miliband trying to ratchet it up a little bit and get us involved.
If you're asking, should the United States be playing a role alongside the European Union, my answer would be a very strong yes, and there are two elements to that.
First of all, one of the reasons that people are fleeing the Middle East is that the neighboring countries to Syria, that means Lebanon and close allies of the US like Jordan, are creaking under the strain of literally millions of refugees.
And secondly, of course, America has historically been the home for refugees, a world leader in refugee resettlement.
A world leader.
Guilt trip on us.
And meanwhile, the UK has said, yes, we will gladly take 20,000 over five years.
It's like they'll take 4,000 a year of this proper parliament.
It's sagging a bit.
Put some bodies under that.
But over the four years of the war, the U.S. has only taken 1,400 Syrian refugees in total.
Yeah, but their ships don't seem to make it over here, Miliband.
They're drowning.
They don't make it.
What?
I didn't say anything.
Oh, I thought you said something.
Yeah, is there a number you would like to see the United States pledge to take?
Some lawmakers here in the United States are saying the number should be as high as 65,000 by the end of next year.
Well, the 65,000 has a very clear logic to it, and the International Rescue Committee, which has resettled new Americans for the last 80 years since we were founded by Albert Einstein here when he came in 1933, we've been clear that for the U.S. So now all of a sudden it's Operation Paperclip 2 or something?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's what he's saying.
Miliband's an idiot.
To maintain its leadership position in refugee resettlement, it should take about 45 or 50 percent of the UN-recommended number.
And the UN has said that by the end of 2016, 130,000 Syrians need to be resettled around the world.
And that's why the 65,000 figure is the one for the US to continue to show the kind of leadership that it has over the decades.
At the moment, that leadership position has changed.
It's been taken by Germany, because they've clearly said that 800,000 people are going to register for asylum or claim refugee status in Germany this year.
It's time for the U.S., I think, to have the kind of debate about how it can continue its leadership.
There are Mexicans.
We don't need them.
Let's send some Mexican immigrants to England.
Well, it's interesting you bring that up, because I think that would probably benefit them, to be honest about it.
I'm looking at the alien, you know, the dead kid on the beach.
Dead kid on the beach who was from Turkey.
Here's what's happening.
A majority of...
I'm sorry, I can't prove that it's a majority, but a large number of these migrants are Syrians who fled to Turkey, who've been sitting in Turkey going, what the hell are we going to do?
The huge camps.
We've had this for years, these refugee camps.
And you know what Erdogan did?
He said, hey, go!
Go over there, Germany wants you.
And he's getting rid of his problem.
Turkey is like, oh, well, that's all good then.
It's funny that nobody's brought this up, but I remember a year or two ago, they kept showing these tent cities that were right outside the border, outside of Homs.
Hundreds of thousands of people, it looked like.
There were hundreds of thousands of people, and they were just packing them in and packing them in and packing them.
They had little stores and little villages, and the Turks were getting sick of this.
Yeah, and they did...
The Turks roused them.
And they're smart, just like Donald Trump's Mexican government.
Hey, screw them.
Send them over there.
It's just a walk.
You could take a train.
You could walk.
Those Mexican government guys.
Mexican government guys.
And finally, Angelina Jolie, agent of change...
She showed up.
Now, she showed up in a...
Not a closed door, but in a small session in UK Parliament, sitting next to Haig, the douchebag baldy extraordinaire.
Yeah.
You know, the guy from...
A billiard ball guy.
Exactly.
And I'm like, oh, okay, finally, here's the High Priestess of the United Nations Human Rights Commission, UNHRC. She's going to lay it down on us.
And she pulls out the same tired old script.
For over 10 years, I had been visiting the field and meeting with families and survivors.
of sexual violence who felt for so long that their voices simply didn't matter.
They weren't heard and they carried a great shame.
I remember distinctly meeting this little girl who was very young, probably about seven or eight, and she was rocking backwards and forwards and staring at the wall and tears streaming down her face because she had been brutally raped multiple times.
You couldn't talk to her.
You couldn't touch her.
I felt absolutely helpless and didn't know what to do for her.
More recently, I met a 13-year-old girl in Iraq who had been kept in a room with many other girls and they were taken out in twos, brought to this very dirty room with this dirty couch and raped.
Oh, there it is.
Repeatedly.
Repeatedly.
Now, I'm telling you.
Isn't that an old story?
She's faxing it in.
Yes.
Next up.
Next up.
ISIS is using female Viagra to rape, to make them all loose and willing.
You watch, you watch, you watch.
Nobody's going that far.
Do you remember how many times in the conflict it was said that they were using Viagra?
Don't you remember those stories?
Yeah, we talked about it to an extreme, and it was just a promotion for Viagra.
Right, so how about the little pink pill?
This should be slipped in now.
Do you do that sort of marketing at the end of your campaign, not early on?
I'm sorry.
I said on deck coming up.
It's going to be a while.
Oh, in Germany, you know, in fact, I have a translated article here.
This is interesting.
This is from last year.
Well, how come I didn't bring up the translated version?
Oh, here we go.
Translate.
Thank you.
My French is not that great.
This is, quote...
French translation things aren't that great either.
No, that's true.
But I can get through it.
Quote, we have been...
This is from the head of the German Federation of Industry.
We have long been a century of immigration and we must remain so.
And calling on the German government, now this is last year, to bring in as many smart immigrants as possible, which would be a lot from Iraq.
Iraq has tradition, although probably after all these years, not anymore, but the best doctors, scientists, many of them came from Iraq.
Ben Sirius still has a lot of highly educated people, so they're looking for them.
And no coincidence that Siemens, who of course is a huge industrial giant, Siemens has said, oh, we have a campus over here and we can put 30,000 refugees in there.
Bring them on over.
We will give them some training.
I love it.
But now, of course, the overarching theme is Assad needs to be neutralized.
These are President Hollande's words.
It needs to be neutralized as preconditions for peace.
And then he goes on to say, you know, we'll do everything but put boots on the ground.
So there is, in essence, a no-fly zone already in place flown by the French.
Then there's some propaganda going on, which was a peculiar story.
It was a media story.
I think I got this from CNN about there was a whole bunch of refugees in, I think, Hungary.
And they broke through police lines and they're all running.
And it's kind of cool because in the video you see a wide shot of all the different cameramen.
I'm sorry, photographers who are capturing this, except one is doing something a little strange.
Well, as the refugees fled, other camera crews recording a really appalling scene.
A Hungarian camera woman appears to...
Notice she's not a photographer, she's a camera woman.
...kick?
And deliberately trip refugees running through the field.
And at one point, she trips a man who is carrying a young child.
The far-right television station she works for says she will be fired.
Here's the kick on the man carrying a child.
You see, she just sticks her leg out.
It's really incredible to see this.
You know, it's very funny, but the thing that I thought was more abhorred with this woman was she kicked some little girl.
Right in the crotch!
Right in the gut, yeah.
Now, here's my problem with this.
This just seems like it's rigged.
It's totally rigged.
She even has a face mask on.
Why do you need that?
She's wearing bright, bright blue.
Yeah, so you can see her.
She stands out, so you can't miss her.
And she's in the middle of all, and she's the only one doing this.
And so they made a big fuss about it, as though the Hungarians were so embarrassed.
It's clearly set up.
It's clearly set up to get the Hungarians to stop being so mean-spirited.
Yes.
Yeah.
This is what it's going to lead to, this horrible, horrible woman who never really is fully identified.
It's one of those things.
I can tell stories about how the news media likes to create phony workers.
Yeah, but this was meta.
This was phony about phony.
Yeah, so it's a phony, phony thing.
Now, everybody carries it.
I just want to say, Joe Stromer in the chat room.
Well, Adam Curry is European and clearly racist since childhood.
This is why I leave the chat room, a-holes.
I think he nailed it.
I'm not saying he's wrong, it's just the truth hurts so much.
Then the super right-wing front-page magazine, which these are the guys affiliated with...
Who's the cartoon lady, cartoon drawing contest lady?
What's her name?
Oh right, the one in Texas.
Yeah, that one.
They came out with a word which I could not find.
Well, the book of knowledge didn't help me.
And they said, well, what is happening now, this is actually, I love this, it's called a hiraj, a secret ploy to bring terrorists into Europe.
Then it's called hiraj, which is the jihad by migration.
But I can't really find this word defined anywhere.
This is nonsense.
If they want to bring terrorists into Europe, they can just buy a ticket.
Yeah, whatever happened to the cells, the sleeper cells, and everybody's here?
Terrorists are already all over Europe in the sleeper cells.
Yeah, so...
Nonsense.
But this is...
It truly is tearing away at the fabric of...
Of the European Union.
They do not care about people.
They just don't.
They don't care about each other.
No.
It's horrible.
But let me play something that is interesting because you brought it up earlier.
I probably should have clipped it in a couple of segments ago when you talk about Olan and the Syria thing.
So I'm watching the 3x3.
Three weeks.
Three networks.
Boom.
Watching all of them.
So I know what they're running and I know what they're not running.
And they mostly run the same, maybe five stories a day, plus then they go off in their own direction and do variations on similar stories.
The one thing none of them are running is the story they ran on NewsHour.
And by the way, none of them are talking about Guatemala, which is still completely out of control.
It has yet to be mentioned.
Ah, whatever.
And then there's a big border dispute going on between Venezuela and Colombia.
Meh.
Never mentioned.
Why care?
Why?
But these other stories are all up there.
This is the one that PBS NewsHour ran, though, and as soon as they ran it, because this ran on, I think this ran today is what?
This probably ran on Tuesday, maybe Wednesday.
But it wasn't played on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday on any of the networks.
And this is PBS NewsHour on Syria and Russia.
As Damascus faces new battlefield losses, there are growing signs of a Russian military buildup backing the regime.
I did see this.
Moscow confirmed today its military advisers are on the ground in Syria.
Our country has long been supplying arms and military equipment to Syria in accordance with bilateral contracts.
There are also Russian military experts in Syria who are instructing the Syrians on the use of the military systems being delivered.
Well, you know what this means.
Wait, did you see the cute little Jen Pataki?
Russian version?
That was the girl that was talking to.
Oh, it was not video.
It's audio.
No, I mean, when you saw the story.
Oh, no, I didn't see the story.
I saw a published piece.
Oh, okay.
A written piece.
And this, to me, means they're going to do a whole Maidan all over again.
Do you know what I mean?
It's like, oh, we've got the Russians in there.
The Russians are backing these guys.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
You know what I'm saying?
You might be right on that.
I never thought about that, but that's...
I've been keeping this away.
I don't know why they suppressed this story.
I mean, PBS ran it.
I think it popped too early.
I think it popped too early.
We need more lead-up.
The right-wing radio guys are talking about it, but the networks aren't.
I saw...
I don't know if you had video.
They showed some of these troops.
They had pictures.
It was Associated Press.
They said, well, we can't verify all their typical fudge words.
They don't have to.
I mean, they know that these planes are coming in there.
Those big giant ones.
What's that big, the Veslosky or whatever, that huge transport?
Antonoff.
The Antonoff.
The Antonoff.
That thing with the 25 wheels.
Yeah.
They had one of those at the Oakland airport for a while.
I think the sales company trying to sell them to the U.S. was here.
Yeah.
And so they would fly it around once in a while.
They take it off.
This thing had like these truck tires all along the bottom of the thing.
It was the craziest looking airplane I've ever seen.
Well, 12 engines.
There's six on each side, doesn't it?
Some crazy number like all propellers?
No, I think it's six.
I think it's three engines on each side.
I think it's got six engines.
I have standing.
Well, you have standing, but I have the book of knowledge.
You're right.
It's six engines.
Well, maybe I thought there were two of them.
Well, six inches is a lot.
But this thing is just as huge.
And you can just say you can put anything in this.
So it seems that the...
Because, of course, it's not like no one could predict this, although no one talked about it.
No one said, hey, you know, these wars that might result in, you know, like a huge shift.
It turns out after World War II, there was this huge migration.
And when you have wars and you have people with access to rubber products like boats and you have bad actors like Turkey, yeah, you're going to get some kind of migration.
So this could not have come as a surprise unless every single think tank associated with the European Union, and there's quite a lot, are morons.
But no, they're not.
They know.
They knew this was going to happen and that it is successfully tearing apart the European Union at its core because they're all a-holes.
Well, it's also they wanted the power, certain elements in the EU want to get rid of this idea of no borders.
Well, that's the Schengen.
The Schengen.
They want to drop the Schengen agreement.
The EU wants to use something to get out because that will be coming up next year.
And this will be great.
Hey, this EU thing sucks because all we do is we get the riffraff.
We don't want the riffraff coming over here.
We want Germany's good stuff.
Yeah, they hogged them.
The Germans hogged all those people.
And at the same time, it is being used as an excuse to remove Assad, and that will not be by political means.
Well, it will be, I'm sorry.
It'll be the way I see it now, with bringing Russia in and saying, oh, we're going to have a coup, very much like Noodleman and Cookie Lady, the Victoria Nuland ambassador of the State Department, ambassador to the Middle East.
She's going to set this up and set the Russians up and make them the bad guys.
They're funding everything, so now we've got to go in and we have to replace.
We need some regime change and we'll get rid of Assad that way.
Well, it'll be interesting to see what the litany is when the networks finally pick up on this story, because they're all going to do pretty much the same, whatever they're told to do.
And it's going to be interesting, because their perspective will be different than this PBS. I mean, NewsHour, they just...
You ran the report.
It didn't have any slant.
Do you recall the big news story?
I was looking, although I got distracted.
I wasn't going to see if the New York Times reported the same way about it.
When the Russian submarine crashed into a trawler and dragged it backwards.
Yeah, now it turns out to be a UK submarine.
Back in April, we saw many reports in the UK media stating that Russia was likely to blame for this incident which saw an Irish fishing trawler being dragged backwards through the Irish Sea when its net had been caught up with the submarine and stating that it was likely the Russians who had been responsible for it.
Some headlines even went as far as to suggest that this fishing trawler had been caught up in war games between Russia and the West.
Now, the source of the claim was a fishing group who themselves only stated that it was possible it was Russia.
They never stated it was definitely Russia.
They said it was possible.
But this led to the flurry of media articles and headlines, which were really coming at a time when there was much scaremongering already in the British press about Russia's perceived threat to the UK and talking about planes buzzing UK airspace.
So all of this really fed into an atmosphere of said scaremongering.
And they call me a conspiracy theorist.
That's your conspiracy theory right there.
The media getting all on board and had nothing to do with Russia.
Right.
It was just a scam.
Yeah.
And some boneheads, you know, some British guys just wandering around, got caught in the net and didn't notice.
What was that?
What?
Yeah.
I'll stop.
Sub is stopped.
Thank you.
So, yeah.
We live in fabulous, fantastic times, John.
Yeah, for this show.
Yeah, we really do.
We really, really live in fabulous times.
Yeah, I like it.
Totally like it.
Can't go wrong.
No, not really.
Not really.
Let's see.
Where do you want to go?
Well, we could go to some crazy stuff.
Like that wasn't crazy enough for you?
No, the Ted Cruz, the Donald Trump thing was crazy.
Oh, I didn't pay attention.
Well, you want to have to listen to Ted Cruz, who's now...
I've already eliminated him from contention.
Not that he can't win the nomination, but I would never support this guy.
He's a lunatic.
He's icky.
Well, besides being icky and sounding like a preacher and acting like a preacher and wearing his religion on his shoulder, he says stuff like this.
Here's Cruz at his own event.
And get the follow-up clip ready.
Oh, I see it.
I see it.
I see it.
We're all going to die.
It's worth remembering that if this deal goes through, we know to an absolute certainty people will die.
Americans will die.
Israelis will die.
Europeans will die.
We're all gonna die!
And remember...
And wash your hands after touching any raw meat.
That's right.
You don't want to die.
So that wasn't...
I thought the better Cruz thing, even that was good, though.
I like the old gonna die.
Is this horror...
This nuts, nuts comment, Cruz on the EMP threat.
If Iran gets a nuclear weapon.
The single greatest risk is they would take that nuclear weapon.
They would put it on a ship anywhere in the Atlantic and they would fire it up straight into the air, into the atmosphere.
They would set off what's called an EMP, an electromagnetic pulse.
It would take down the electrical grid on the entire eastern seaboard and kill tens of millions of Americans.
We can stop that.
Oh my goodness.
This is great, John.
Hold on a second.
This is not just great.
This is not just great what you've done here.
Okay.
You know what this is.
Well, I hit it.
Well, of course.
It's obviously...
Let me see if I can top it.
Well, first let me stand still for a second.
Now, the EMP, just from what I understand about the science, the EMP, if you detonate a nuclear device at the correct altitude, it can create an electromagnetic pulse, and yes, it could take things out, but it's far more likely that we have an event.
What was it?
It struck Hawaii the hardest.
It was a sun flare event.
It's a historical, but it happened in, I think, the 30s?
Yeah, they happen every so often.
Solar flare.
What was the name of it?
It had a name.
I don't remember.
But I should mention that we have done atmospheric testing in the atmosphere, up in the air, with H-bombs.
Starfish Prime.
Yes, Starfish Prime.
And it knocked out, you know, it fried the grid in Hawaii.
It was 50 years ago.
50 years ago.
So that could easily happen.
It takes a little more than a homemade bomb that these guys are designing.
It would have to be right over New York and it wouldn't take out the East Coast.
It would take out some electricity locally.
But if that was not crazy enough...
You had to listen to...
Wait, there's more?
Is this going to be another Iran clip or not?
No, this is another clip.
Yeah, this is another Iran clip.
Okay, good, because I have an Iran clip to follow up.
This is at the same event, the Donald Trump-Ted Cruz event, where they...
Apparently, people who analyze this are saying, why are they even doing this event?
This treaty is a done deal.
And apparently, because it was scheduled way before it was signed off on, they had to get the space, and so they decided to go ahead with it anyway.
Which is ludicrous, if you think about it.
So Sarah Palin was there.
Is this the one where she's talking and they zoom out and then the heckler is being ejected and no one's paying attention to her?
No.
This is Sarah Palin just going off on her normal kind of crazy, you know, I, as you know, I predicted that she would have been chosen for the vice president based on what I knew about her, not having ever heard her voice.
Yeah, well, the voice is the problem.
The voice is the problem, and this epitomizes the problem, and is also, again, she is funny in a very awkward way.
White flag was waved at the table in these negotiations because Obama had a squishy objective to start with.
Only in an Orwellian Obama world, full of...
Sprinkly fairy dust blown from atop his unicorn as he's peeking through a really pretty pink kaleidoscope.
Would he ever see victory or safety for America or Israel in this treaty?
This treaty will not bring peace.
You don't reward terrorism!
You kill it!
Unicorns!
Yay!
Now, I got a piece here relating to Iran, and based on Uncle Don's op-ed, which he talked about, where he said, hey, it's probably better to have a deal than no deal.
And on the email, you said, you know, Donald Trump is in the wrong place on this.
And I got to disagree with you.
He has not actually said there should be no deal.
He's saying it's a shitty deal because we should have gotten our hostages back.
And he reiterated that with this little clip.
Never!
Ever, ever in my life have I seen any transaction so incompetently negotiated as our deal with Iran.
And I mean never.
We have four wonderful people over there, and frankly, they're never gonna come back with this group.
And I will say this, if I win the presidency, I guarantee you that those four prisoners are back in our country before I ever take office.
I guarantee that.
They will be back before I ever take office because they know that's what has to happen.
Okay?
They know it.
And if they don't know it, I'm telling them right now.
Fantastic!
I'm putting you on notice, Iran.
I'm putting you on notice.
So he just says it's a shitty deal because we get our hostages back.
It's hard to disagree with it.
But to say, even before I take office, they'll give them back.
No.
Yeah.
Big kahunas.
Well, that might actually happen because once that deal goes through, I don't have the clip.
I could dig it up.
But the woman who...
Remember those three spies, those three hikers?
Yeah, yes, yes, of course.
From the University of California.
From Berkeley.
Yeah, exactly.
That were captured at the Iraqi-Iranian border.
Yes, they were just hiking.
They were just accidentally hiking.
And, of course, it was through a minefield somehow, but that's okay.
Let's don't get into those details.
So the one woman that was let go of the first, they let her out.
And after a couple of years in solitary or something, very, I would say, beautiful.
All spies are the good ones.
She's just absolutely gorgeous.
So she's on the Democracy Now!
show talking about this.
What's her name?
I can't remember her name.
If you do a little work, you can find it.
She's on the show talking about this, and she's bitching about solitary confinement and how it has to end, and especially in this country, the United States, and she went on and on.
She said it was very hurtful for the psyche, and she was just beside herself.
And she said that this deal, they asked, she was asked, what do you think about this Iranian negotiation deal with the U.S.?
She says she thinks it's great.
So she's giving, I believe if she was a spy or is a spy, she would be giving CIA-based answers.
And I think that the agency would be for this thing, from what I can tell.
Sure, sure.
Sure.
And didn't you have Uncle Don coming out of the woodwork?
Yep.
And she said that once the deal is in place and they actually do get their sanctions lifted and their money back, that money that's going to them is their money that we confiscated.
People seem to drop that out of the equation.
They think we're giving them money.
Well, also because the military industrial conference went, shut up, shut up, shut up.
That's going to be spent on our stuff doing stuff.
Right.
Shut up.
It's true.
Ixnay on the honeymoon.
She says they're going to let those other ones go as soon as they prove that we have good faith.
She says, I wouldn't worry about it.
She says, those people are going to be released.
Trump has to know this, too.
Otherwise, he wouldn't say something like that.
Yeah, because he's calculated.
I agree.
So I would think that that's maybe what's going on there.
Yeah, nice.
But while you're on, since you brought Trump up...
Sorry.
I have a clip.
Okay.
Now, there's this guy, Roger Stone, that used to be Trump's campaign manager.
And Roger Stone's the guy that was supposedly fired.
Right, the guy who left and now has been the big promoter.
He's a huge promoter of Trump everywhere.
And that's when Trump came up with the line, well, I should have fired him sooner.
Right.
So he is on C-SPAN. Hmm.
So they dig up a clip from 1992 of Bill Clinton slamming Trump just gratuitously.
Clinton was just a cocky asshole and he's at Wharton basically blasting the school.
But he just kind of gratuitously slams Trump.
So the guy who's doing this show, it's one of those interview shows that they do Washington Week or whatever it's called, and they throw it back to Roger Stone, who I think...
It summarizes the whole Clinton scam because it made him so mad.
He just tells it like it is.
Back to the late 1980s.
And this is Bill Clinton when he was running for president in 1992 criticizing Donald Trump.
Let's watch.
It was here at Wharton in the 1980s that the students nicknamed the investment banking club the unindicted.
And the Wharton Wall of Fame, which honors famous alumni chosen by the students, kept photos of Donald Trump, who glorified the art of the deal without regard to productivity, the art of the deal, and Michael Milken, on display until one went bankrupt and Michael Milken, on display until one went bankrupt and the other was on his way to jail.
Roger Stone, that was from 1992.
Your comment?
First of all, Bill Clinton's the last person in the world should talk about unindicted.
Anyone who read Peter Schweitzer's book on Clinton cash would realize that the Clintons have been lining their pockets using the nexus of the State Department and the Clinton Foundation, which is a slush fund for grifters, to both enrich themselves and to create a luxury travel service for themselves.
Secondarily, Donald Trump never went bankrupt.
He used the bankruptcy laws in Atlantic City.
He brought some companies into bankruptcy, which is a completely legitimate financial technique.
In all honesty, he saved himself hundreds of millions of dollars.
That's the guy I want running the federal budget.
Somebody who is tough and smart and knows how to save money.
I think it's not dumb.
I think it's smart.
Bill Clinton really is the last person in the world who should be commenting on responsibility.
But I just had an idea.
You said one of these Sunday shows, Washington this week or whatever.
I had an idea.
We could do a show.
Then it would be called DC Douchebags.
This could be great.
Now, on that, the Curaçao Chronicle did some analysis of, and I'd already heard about this particular email that showed up in the Hillary email dump from Chelsea.
And it's regarding Haiti.
And as an aside note, The number of emails that contained content about Haiti far outstripped the number of emails about Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran.
And here's what she said.
She goes on to say,
So she was reporting back, she did a four-day trip to Haiti, and goes on to say, quote, If we do not quickly change the organization, management, accountability, and delivery paradigm on the ground, we could quite conceivably confront tens of thousands of children's deaths by diarrhea, dysentery, typhoid, and other water-related diseases in the near future.
And this, I think, is, to me, certainly, I don't think, to me, this is the most important email because it really shows just how Bill and Hillary Clinton owned Haiti.
She had been to Haiti more times than she had gone to the Middle East during her reign as Secretary of State.
And then, of course, the day she resigned from the State Department is when her brother, Tony Rodham, was appointed director of a company that had just received the gold mining contracts in Haiti.
And this whole article from the Curacao Times is worth reading.
It's in the show notes, 755.noagendanotes.com.
Really, you see some of the facts that About what the Clintons have done.
They just sold out Haiti to the highest bidders to come in and just rape it.
Rape it.
Well, let me know if it's got natural resources.
It does.
Of course it does.
It does.
I don't know how much money Bill needs.
She made $48 million in speakers fees while she was Secretary of State.
Well, you know, I got to protect my family.
Yeah, that's all.
These people are evil.
Evil.
I don't understand how people can be so in on Hillary becoming president.
Well, I don't know if they still are.
I don't think they are.
Oh, are you kidding me?
I bet you your Obama bot friends are.
No, they have problems.
It's kind of like this.
They're still going to vote for her?
Yes, because she's still the best.
Of course, when I say yes, she's uniquely qualified to rule the empire.
Here is...
I've got two quick Hillary clips that are of note, I guess.
This is...
This is...
Her apology on ABC... Oh, well, before you do that, I have actually a segment on that.
Oh, okay.
I actually have the whole thing.
You don't want to listen to it.
Okay.
I want to play this because this is part of the 3x3.
Yes, it's your beat.
I'll let you have it.
And ABC is the network, and every one of these networks, I'm trying to get a feeling for who they're for.
You can kind of tell.
ABC is all for Biden.
Who?
Biden.
I'm seeing ABC. ABC is all for Jeb Bush.
Of course, Disney in Florida.
The Biden thing is part of the...
What do we have to do to do anything to harass Hillary?
And the White House is doing that because the president is on the road today with Jill Biden.
It doesn't happen often that the president does an appearance with the second lady, or whatever she's called.
No, I didn't know that.
That makes sense.
Yep, makes sense.
So ABC has this, so they're going to do it somehow, and I think this had to do with the one Hillary supporter of the network, which is Stephanopoulos, and I'm not sure he's not an agent provocateur.
He never liked Bill.
And even though he's supposedly working for Hillary in the foundation or something, you know, I don't know.
But I'm sure he's the one who talked Hillary into it's okay to come on ABC. Don't worry.
We won't ask anything hard.
Like, do you believe you're a liar?
They did the liar thing again, which I'm sure you have that.
Yeah, I have that.
But it's the intro.
There's two things I want to point out.
One is the makeup job on Hillary.
Now, Hillary, I've looked at all these, because I did a bunch of pictures of her a couple newsletters ago, and I've studied her.
You have standing on Hillary's appearance.
I have standing on Hillary's appearance.
The makeup people at ABC, and this is very subtle, but I noticed it immediately.
Hillary never wears what I can only describe, and it's not the modern red lipstick that the girls wear.
I saw this too.
Old lady.
Old lady red lipstick.
Old lady red lipstick.
And thinly done.
Not big, thin.
What is the thinking behind that?
I think it's ABC. I think they did it on purpose.
Oh, man.
I think they let Hillary's people in there to keep her hair looking okay.
We see the same things.
The lipstick...
The color, but it's thinly drawn.
Women always use lipstick to accentuate what they don't have.
Hey, old ladies.
This is what old ladies do.
Yeah.
And so they took her and they whited her face up so she looked like a pale old lady.
Like a zombie.
They used rouge, some sort of old-fashioned rouge on her cheeks.
And it was orange, so it made her look off-color.
I can't believe that she doesn't have someone who watches out for that stuff.
I was stunned.
But I know that has to be the case because it was the lipstick giveaway.
The rest of it was just icing on the cake.
Once they got her to wear this lipstick, I have looked at all her old pictures.
She never wears...
She wears a muted...
Maroon lipstick that really fits her face is well chosen.
She does not wear old lady, out of date, out of fashion, red lipstick This is what an old woman would wear when she says, oh, I'm going to be on television.
I might push back a little bit, because the way she spoke was so demure, so soft, and so trying to be really controlling herself to not show a twinge of...
Well, hold on, let me finish.
Okay.
Just listen to how she was speaking.
I'm going to say that there may be a mole in her camp who is responsible for her look.
Eb said, this is what you want.
This is going to be great.
I would really question that because these networks are very strict.
She doesn't let anybody else do her makeup just because they're from ABC. I don't buy that.
She travels with her hair and makeup.
The mole thing, I think, is way out.
I think it's too far out.
Then they're just stupid.
If that's true, she should be fired immediately.
Yeah.
Yes, of course.
Now, back to this setup.
Demure, the style of talking is identical to what she did with Andrea Mitchell.
Yes, which I have a clip of.
A little Xanax.
Well, we did the Andrea Mitchell thing.
I have a new clip.
Oh.
Yeah.
Okay.
She's the little Xanax or something.
She's very, you know, and she threw the same liar.
Little Tylenol PM. A little liar thing, that same meme right at the beginning.
A bar of Xanax.
Blink, blink.
She was fine with it.
Didn't care.
Ding, ding.
What?
And she walked through, waltzed through the thing.
He, I thought, was very harsh.
Yeah.
But, whereas harshness really showed, I think, its true colors, was the intro, which is, I have the ABC Mirror intro to the Clinton interview.
It's got innuendo.
It's got negative memes.
It is just a stunner.
Good evening, and it's great to have you with us here on a Tuesday night.
And as America goes back to work, back to school, for Hillary Clinton, it is back to a new reality.
Her poll numbers sinking fast, and tonight she is talking exclusively with us, saying, I'm sorry, and not just once.
Tonight here, no question off limits.
The private server, what was she thinking?
Can she survive this?
And a new headline tonight, that at least two emails reviewed are top secret.
And at a very candid moment, we ask, does she ever quietly wonder why go through all of this again?
We want you to watch and weigh in on Twitter and on Facebook.
And we begin here with her emails.
Yeah.
That intro was so biased against her.
Sure.
It was dynamite.
I thought it's one of the best things they've ever done in terms of propaganda.
Do you want to listen to a bit of her about the email thing, the way they started off?
Yeah, I have that, but you have it.
Just a giant file.
Yeah, we'll leave that in so people can listen to the whole thing.
This is just kind of the opening, and just listen to the cadence and how she speaks, and then close your eyes and imagine a ghost.
When voters were asked, what is the first word that comes to mind when you think of Hillary Clinton?
Words like liar, dishonest, untrustworthy.
We're at the top of the list.
Does this tell you that your original explanation about the private server, that you did it to carry one phone out of convenience, that this didn't sit well with the American people?
Well, David, obviously I don't like hearing that.
I am confident by the end of this campaign people will know they can trust me.
I love it when she goes down a little in her lower register because that's kind of the mother matronly type of talk.
That I will be on their side and will fight for them and their families.
But I do think I could have and should have done a better job answering questions earlier.
I really didn't perhaps appreciate the need to do that.
What I had done was allowed.
It was Above board.
But in retrospect, certainly, as I look back at it now, even though it was allowed, I should have used two accounts.
One for personal, one for work-related emails.
Work-related emails.
This is a completely different Hillary than we usually hear.
Usually she's talking like, I... I'm sorry about that.
I take responsibility.
And I'm trying to be as transparent as I possibly can to not only release 55,000 pages.
Just to put it next to each other.
Let's just pick a random Hillary clip.
What do we have here?
Excerpts leaked out today.
Oh, that's shit.
...of my emails, turn over my server, but I am looking forward, finally, to testifying before Congress, something I've been asking for for nearly a year.
Yeah, that's really rich.
I've been asking to be before Congress.
No, you haven't.
Here's the Hillary cadence.
We have allowed our criminal justice system to get out of balance.
That is a version...
How about the Hillary blabbering?
I could go back to what I had been doing.
That's how she normally talks.
Here's the Andrea Mitchell piece.
Now, Andrea Mitchell, who does she work for?
MSNBC and NBC. Oh, okay.
So she got to do an interview or whatever, but she's obviously a shill.
She's also rebooting her campaign.
Rebooting?
That's good.
That's funny.
Hey, I got an idea.
Since it's the email server, let's use a computer term.
I know.
Rebooting.
After complaints from donors about the email controversy and polls now showing Bernie Sanders pulling ahead of Clinton in New Hampshire and possible candidate Joe Biden doing better than Clinton against Donald Trump.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for wearing Ellen blue.
Ellen blue it is.
Hillary Clinton tonight taping the Ellen Show to appear Thursday.
It's all part of a campaign reset prompted by falling polls and the email controversy, trying to show Clinton's fun side with Ellen, along with a lighter touch on the campaign trail.
A lighter touch.
Joyfully!
The problem is Hillary Clinton is humorless.
That's her problem.
She has zero humor.
Nothing she says is funny.
You can dig this clip up if you pull this one off.
She thought it was funny when they went in and killed Gaddafi.
And she was there with her buddies saying, we came, we saw, he died, and she left.
You mean Lady MacDeath is what you mean?
Lady MacDeath.
Yeah.
I have that.
Hold on.
Well, actually, the way it went down is she was doing an interview, and Uma Abedin leans in and shows her a Blackberry.
She's like, oh my god, is this confirmed?
Oh, yes.
Oh, we've got him.
We've killed him.
So, I mean, that is the land of unconfirmed.
Yes, we came, we saw, and he died.
Ha!
Ha!
Yeah, whenever there's death is when she, that's what she gets, that's what the Clintons get off on.
They're like killing people.
Google Clinton body count.
Now, I received an email, as you know, I'm on the list.
Thank you very much for subscribing me.
You're welcome, Mimi.
Yes, the email is correct, adamatkurry.com, and they always say, hey Mimi, I don't know why, this is very strange.
Then I've been put on the list as Mimi.
I'll read it to you.
I wanted you to hear this directly from me.
Subject line, my email.
Yes, I should have used two email addresses.
One for my personal matters and one for my work.
The State Department.
Oh, wait a minute.
Stop.
This is a letter.
You didn't really make this clear.
This is a letter from Hillary to you.
Yes, Mimi.
From Hillary to Mimi.
That would be me.
Mimi, adamatcurry.com, known as Mimi.
Not doing so was a mistake.
I'm sorry about it, and I take full responsibility.
It's important for you to know a few key facts.
My use of a personal email account was above board.
Now, I'm a stickler about these things, but above board...
Should be two words, and I think that this is just a proofreading mistake which speaks volumes about their communications department.
So it's above board, not above space board, above board.
I think it's just an oversight, they missed it, and this is a bad, that's bad.
And allowed under State Department rules.
Everyone I communicated with in government was aware of it.
And the way she justifies that is, hey, they received an email and they saw my email address, so they replied they were aware of it.
And nothing I ever sent or received was marked classified at the time.
As this process proceeds, I want to be, I want to be, I want to be, these are all performatives, as transparent as possible, which means, no, you're going to withhold information.
That's why I've provided all my work emails to the government to be released to the public and why I'll be testifying in public in front of the Benghazi committee later this month.
Which she's been asking for, apparently.
That's rich, Hillary.
That is rich.
I know this is a complex story.
I've been begging to come before the committee.
Yeah, I love Trent Gowdy.
He's my buddy.
I know this is a complex story.
Trent Gowdy hates her.
Yeah.
I could have and should have done a better job answering questions earlier.
I'm grateful for your support and I'm not taking anything for granted.
Then in bold, I understand you may have more questions.
I'm going to work to keep answering them.
If you want to read more, including my emails themselves, please go here.
Thank you, Hillary.
Um...
A couple things.
We now have a formal investigation has been started against Uma Abedin.
And this is a tactic.
This is a tactic.
They know about the whole relationship girlfriend-girlfriend thing.
But she will not be fired or be accused of any real wrongdoing.
Maybe she did something wrong with, you know...
That's scarer.
Yeah, it's just pestering.
However, I did find out who the actress is that she's been banging.
Okay, now I have some thoughts on this too.
Okay, who is it?
Mary Steenbergen.
Oh, that would make sense.
She was...
Wasn't she the...
Didn't she play the wife of...
What movie was she in?
She's been in a bunch of stuff.
Well, anyway, so I have a pertinent...
But is that the one that...
Can you go back...
I don't know if you can do this, but you should be able to.
Can you go back and give us the...
National Enquirer, because I didn't write it down, the criteria for the three women.
Of course I can.
That are supposed to have been in that email.
Yes, this was in our previous show, Juloon, and I'll go into the show notes.
Hillary, here it is, National Enquirer.
I am so good.
We have the following.
The Inquirer learned the list of Hillary's lesbian lovers includes a beauty in her early 30s, who has often traveled with Hillary, a popular TV and movie star, that would be Steenburgen, the daughter of a top government official, and a stunning model who got a career boost after allegedly sleeping with Hillary.
Now...
Give me that last one again.
That's the one that's confusing.
Okay.
And a stunning model who got a career boost After allegedly sleeping with Hillary.
Now, I have the TV and movie model.
And the reason why...
Because I don't give a crap who she has sex with.
Somebody thought it might be Amy Schumer.
Yeah, I don't know about that.
Because she's related to Chuck and all that.
I don't know.
I don't think that...
The Clintons and the Schumers, it doesn't gel.
But the reason why this is interesting is...
You'll recall that we heard from...
Could Schumer be the government daughter of a government?
Something just misconstrued.
Yeah, but it could be.
But I don't know.
I don't have that.
All I have is Mary Steenberg.
And the reason why it's interesting is because we heard very early on during the last time she ran that the Secret Service would never let her win because they would spill the beans because they hate her.
Yes, they do.
And this is from Jack Wheeler.
The name we should remember.
Jack Wheeler.
You see if you can find him.
But he wrote an op-ed And this is something that was overheard from Secret Service agents.
I'm quoting from this op-ed.
This is going on now.
My God, she has that girlfriend, Mary Steinbogen, Steve Bogen, that actress.
Yeah, that's one of her squeezes.
Two Secret Service agents walked in on them in the ante room of the White House in flagrant delecto.
I mean, right then and there.
What is fragrant delicto?
Does that mean?
Naked.
Oh, God.
I think it's flagante.
No, it says flagrante.
Flagrante.
Flaglantre delicto.
That means naked?
Next presidential aide Jack Wheeler's body found in landfill.
That guy?
That guy!
So he wrote this piece and then he was found in a landfill.
Oops.
Yeah, no, these Clintons are all above board.
One word.
Above board.
The actress that emerges is Mary Steenberg and a skinny brunette best known for playing Steve Martin's wife in parenthood.
The she in this story is Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Happily defaming both is Jack Wheeler, a 49-old adventure travel impresario.
Oh, that's a different guy.
That is a different guy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But this has been a DC rumor for a long time.
Not that people really care, but having the...
Here, the Secret Service guy says...
One agent says...
I doubt I could take a bullet for her.
And I don't think it's because of the lesbian affairs.
She's a dick to people.
You know she is.
According to that book, there's a book that came out, a Secret Service book.
Was that the one you were quoting from?
There's a whole book that came out of just nothing.
Well, that's repeated in the book, but this was from a 1994 issue of Outside Magazine.
Okay.
It was called Lord of the Big Guys is what this was.
Oh, that's good research.
Yeah.
Well, to me, it's just not that interesting who she's banging.
Although, you know, Mary Steenberg is pretty hard.
It is to the American electorate.
Yeah, true.
True.
They care about what's going on with Kim Kardashian.
They want to know who Hillary's in the sack with.
And with that...
I would like to thank you for your courage and say, in the morning to you, John C., where the C stands for Cruise Clips, Dvorak.
In the morning to you, Mr.

We had that cool Eat More Squirrel.
It was a nice piece, actually, that Neil made for us.
And you can see all...
I'm sorry?
And it's funny.
It led into this show because we talked about eating squirrel today.
It's not funny.
I'm not laughing about that.
It's just not funny.
No, but I don't think squirrel's that big of a deal.
I think it's when they're making us eat garbage.
But it's not funny.
You said it's funny.
It's not funny.
Oh, I see.
Because of that little phraseology usage that I picked up from you, thank you.
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
It's not funny.

He came in at $500 with nothing to say except keep me anonymous.
Didn't you want like an ABCDE anonymous, the F anonymous?
Apparently not.
Okay, all right.
Not interested.
Well, thank you very much, Anonymous.
We appreciate it.
And then we move right to David Young, who's right down the street from him in Tiburon.
There's your random numbers.
Did he not have a...
46639 from Tiburon.
Didn't he have a note?
I looked and looked and looked.
I guess not, huh?
Well, maybe he did.
I didn't see it.
Hold on.
He was coming in with another name.
Maybe his wife.
I don't know.
I'm taking a look.
Uh, 9-1.
No, I don't see anything.

Thanks to Adam, I now have an Amazon Echo.
Oh, nice.
Echo, hello Echo, or whatever the name of the thing is.
By the way, my five-year-old asks, Alexa, to tell us jokes every day, and it seems that the joke database in the cloud was recently expanded as we knew them all by week two.
Sometimes, you know, the other day, Just sitting in the house.
I got the music playing.
We're talking.
And then out of the blue, Alexa goes, What is black and white and red all over?
A skunk with rash!
Oh, she's talking again.
Oh, shoot.
She just piped up again.
Chimed in.
I think she pipes up.
And, and, and, while I was in the car, driving, then Phil Schiller or Rachmaninoff, whoever the guy was with the pointy nose, the big, the big hook, big nose, I didn't mean to say hook nose, because I didn't mean it in that way, but he has a hook nose.
He said, he did a demo, he did, hey Siri, and I swear to God, Siri activated, the video stopped playing.
Ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha.
Well, don't stop listening to the show just because I said, hey, Siri or Alexa.
Okay, Google.
Okay, Google.
Anyway, he continues.
It's the biggest security hole in the universe, but okay, whatever.
In the cloud, we recently expanded.
We knew them all by the week, too.
And thanks to John, I'm now enjoying rain vodka made in the USA and distilled seven times.
Does that get any better?
Or do things get any better than that?
Penny, thanks for the continued analysis of so many great topics.
Keep it up.
Please play a quick round of your best Rick Perry clip.
I got some.
Have you ever had effin vodka?
E-F-F-E-N? Effin vodka?
It's cucumber vodka?
It's cucumber flavored vodka.
Well, yeah, of course.
There's cucumber flavors in it.
Cucumbers.
They should serve it with cucumbers.
It tastes dynamite.
Yeah.
This is good stuff.
Now, was that, when you were talking about the Chenin Blanc blend with...
Oh, the Viognier?
Viognier-Chenin Blanc.
Was that the Pine Ridge?
Yes, it was.
I had that wine.
What did you think?
It's sweet.
Yeah, it's a little sweet.
No.
Too sweet for you?
It's too sweet for you.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Well, I shall refrain from drinking it now.
Well, I mean, it's a good wine.
It's a refreshing wine.
On a hot day, you're in Texas.
Yeah.
I would say it's probably a fantastic wine, just a swill.
I would rather have effing vodka than the Sauvignon.
The Sauvignon.
The Chenin Blanc wine would probably be better for you than drinking vodka during a hot day, but okay.
No, I drink it during the show.
Adios, mofo.
And you can always follow me on Twitter.
You've got karma.
Yeah, walked into that one.

You know, there was...
Just staying with that for a moment, this is a good point to bring it up.
On Medium, there's a subgroup.
Medium, I'm not quite sure what that is.
I mean, I know what it is and who runs it, but this is a place where douchebags go post stories the way I see it.
I think you've summarized it.
Yeah, okay.
And so we have real talk with trans people.
And I do not, I really do not like being put into a group.
But I am in a group.
I'm a cisgendered.
And this is what people who are very concerned with pronouns call people like you and I cisgendered.
Or AMABs or AFABs.
Now you and I are both AMABs.
We are assigned male at birth.
And AFAB, of course, is assigned female at birth.
And the point that is being made is there's a difference between sex and gender.
However...
This whole article is tips on how to talk with trans people.
How to be an ally.
And I do not like...
It's a shit cis people say.
So now all of a sudden I'm in a group because you put yourself in a group.
You have to categorize me as cis people.
And there's all the things that you say.
Stereotypers, man.
Okay, so here's all the things that we as cisgendered a-holes say wrong to trans people.
Okay?
Okay.
Okay.
Here's an example.
Shit cis people say.
What did you used to be called?
What's your real name?
Who were you before?
Apparently this is very insulting to say.
Very, very insulting.
Because that puts the transgendered in a spot of, you know, just being wrong.
You're an asshole if you say these things.
And, of course, people are only trying to be nice and politically correct, and they ruin it.
Another thing you cannot say, which is, this is a violation you make often, shit cis people say, oops, but you can see how I made that mistake.
I meant she.
Ah, sorry, this is so confusing for me.
See, if you say that, you're an asshole.
Hey, I got the sense that whatever you do, you're an asshole.
Yeah.
Whoever wrote this.
But stereotyping me or any...
Stereotyping in general is not okay.
These are the same people that complain about stereotyping.
Yes, by stereotyping cisgendered.
Anyway, read the whole thing in the show notes.
Learn.
He's got the wrong guy.
Yeah, I know.
I don't care.
I mentioned to someone that, yeah, I said, my partner John, he doesn't care.
He just doesn't care.
He doesn't want it in his face.
Wow, that was the wrong thing to say.
Well, then you can't be friends with him.
I said, well, guess what?
I'm not.
This is the good news.
He's not my friend.
There was no comeback for that.
He's not my friend.
He said this to you.
Ah.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Not...
Yeah.
Just...
It came up in conversation about trans.
It was just...
Because, you know, I'm complaining about Caitlyn Jenner being, you know, fake.
Fake.
Yeah.
Fake.
All right.
Onward.
You can't be friends with him.
That's a good one.
Yeah.
And I said, well, guess what?
I'm not.
I just have to deal with him.
That's actually a good answer.
That's a great answer.
All right, here we go.
Andre Schmid.
Now, hold on.
We did Andre.
We did James Schmid.
Oh, I'm sorry.
This is Andre.
And then thanks to the random number theory.
Whoa!
You see, so how many Schmidts have you ever met?
And now we have James coming in from Knoxville and Andre.
And they both spell their name with a D, no DT at the end.
Yes.
Andre Schmid in Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland.
Now, if the number was the exact same two, three, four, five, six, then I'd have my mind.
I bet, boom, my mind would have been blown.
But it was two or three forty-nine.
But it's still random number stuff going on here, because that is just dynamite.
That's very good.
It's like a name to do.
First off, please de-douche me.
As I've fallen overboard financially these last couple of months, a storm full of unexpected expenses hit me.
De-douche him, please.
Yes, de-douching on the way.
De-douching on the way.
You've been de-douched.
Please accept my humble donation of 20349, which is comprised of a belated happy birthday to Adam, $51, a Mile High Club entrance, $52.80, $30 for my 30-day Gizmo Nation road trip, and a swazzle enough because I'll be on the trip not with one, but two beautiful girls.
Woo-hoo!
Plus, two plus zero plus four plus three equals nine.
Right on.
Whatever that means, I'm happy.
No, but all-purpose karma from each of you with a jingle of your choice.
Keep up the fantastic.
I would prefer people come up with their own jingles.
It's frying my brain.
We do a lot of work behind the scenes you don't see.
Just tell us what you want to hear, but I'll choose one.
Obama, Ebola, has that song grown.
Ebola's gonna kill us all.
Amen.
Sit down.
You've got karma.
Whatever happened to that Ebola?
How come we're not all dead?
And the radiation...
10,000 dying a day.
And the radiation from Fukushima.
How come we're not dead?
Oh, that was going to cause...
It was going to kill everyone on the West Coast.
Why are we not dead yet?
I'm so disappointed.
I don't know.
I took all that iodine.
A lot of people died from iodine poisoning.
Did you buy it from the seed man?
I didn't buy any iodine.
I know what it does.
I mean, I know what it's for.
It's a good idea.
Makes your hands yellow.
Well, I don't know.
If you use too much, I'm sure it does ruin you.
But it's just to keep your thyroid so it doesn't particularly want to go into cancer mode, which I guess it likes to do in a drop of a hat.
Well, if I can find my cursor...
It's usually attached to your mouse.
There we go.
Onward, after the random number thing.
Edward Herrera in Austin, Texas.
That's your buddy.
Don't you know everybody in Austin?
Hello, gents.
Staying with the theme of Austin, Texas, which John teased a story about.
I'm wondering if either of you could have a good crackpot.
You know, I had an Austin, Texas clip from a couple shows ago, last show maybe, that I wanted to play.
Okay.
So when I teach, you can still dig it up because I know your system is different now.
I'm wondering if either you have a good crack.
I'm sorry, keep going.
I'm wondering if either you have a good crack.
This is interesting.
I do have the Austin clip because my system is different now.
It's different.
It's better.
I know.
It used to be if it was last week's clip, you couldn't play it, but I noticed you've been playing.
But it's a three-minute clip.
It's worth it.
Right now?
No, no.
Maybe later in the show.
Okay.
I'm wondering, because it's just discussable.
Okay.
Because I think it's a bogus story, like a really...
All right, all right.
Come on, give me a break.
All right.
I'm wondering if either of you have a good crackpot theory about the design of the 33-story Frost Bank building downtown.
Yeah, the owl building, we call that.
Right.
Particularly how it almost seems owl-like when viewed at an angle.
Could I please get birthday karma for turning 32 years young?
Please don't do that.
As well as the two drops GGGG. You've now officially crossed over into old manhood.
No, it says GGG on my computer.
It says 9999.
Well, maybe it does.
And the calm down followed by screaming.
I need that screaming clip, by the way.
9999!
Calm down.
There you go.
Nailed it.
You've got karma.
Yeah.
We got that.
I think that screaming clip is better unless it's the same one.
What's that famous one everyone always talks about?
The famous one?
The famous scream.
I don't know.
Vanderhelm scream or whatever it's called.
You mean the painting?
Somebody in the chat room will tell him what we're talking about.
I don't know what you're talking about.
This is a famous scream.
It starts with a V. I always want to say Vanderchuk, but it's not that.
Vanderchuk, yeah.
Scott Littler in Nashville, Tennessee.
$200.
Hey, citizen.
Shut up, science.
Dr.
K, you obey.
Little girl boom shakalaka.
Email with a couple of comments headed to Adam.
Well, I don't know about no comments.
Do I need to look that up?
Nah, go shut up, science.
You will obey.
Oh, shut up, it's science.
That's Dr.
Kiki, right?
Let me see.
Shut up, it's science.
Is that the one?
Yeah.
And then what else?
You will obey and little girl.
Let me see if I can do this.
Shut up already!
Science!
Boom shakalaka!
Boom shakalaka!
You've got karma.
I think that is the cutest of all the boom shakalaka.
That's Nick's kid.
Well, Nick's kid won't be sounding like that much longer.
Get clips from her while you can.
That was it, right?
Yeah, that's all she wrote.
Well, we do appreciate you stepping up.
Our executive and associate executive producers are always heralded, and they're always thanked.
It's the first between the A and the B block of the show, specifically to make it just like executive producers are in the real world of Hollywood.
No difference?
Well, there is a difference, actually, because unlike the douchebags in Hollywood, we'll gladly vouch for you.
And just a PR mention, because we haven't talked about it in a while, and I like them to keep up the speed, because I think there's a couple things that we've discussed that have not been put on the list.
Noagendabookclub.com.
A great resource.
Go to noagendabookclub.com to find all the different books that we have discussed on the program and most likely have been reading.
And we'll be thanking all our other donors later on in our D-block.
I don't know why that tickles me.
It's funny.
And, of course, we'll have a show on Sunday, and we need all the support we can get.
Dvorak.org slash NA. And, obviously, you can always be out there doing the very important work of propagating the formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Hey, citizen.
Shut up, Slade.
Shut up, Slade.
Let me just restart this.
Well, the stupid font on this thing looks like a 9.
A G, I mean.
Looks like a G. Mm-hmm.
If you look at the G and there's nine, they're the exact same.
Yeah, that's children in first and second grade have problems identifying the difference as well.
It does happen.
I have a little drone update, if you're interested.
Drone again.
Yeah, we can drone again.
I have a drone update.
CNN, for some reason, thought it was interesting to provide us with a drone update.
So we're welcome.
U.S. intelligence on ISIS inside Syria and Iraq is greatly improving across the board, a U.S. official tells CNN.
A combination of more human intelligence on the ground and surveillance aircraft in the air.
The result, a series of successful strikes against senior ISIS leadership.
Junaid Hussain, the ISIS online mastermind and recruiter, killed in Raqqa, Syria, last week.
Haji Muttaz, ISIS second-in-command, killed outside Mosul two weeks ago.
And a late-night raid killing Abu Sayyaf, a senior leader and financier for ISIS, and capturing his wife and a treasure trove of information.
Treasure trove.
How is it happening?
According to the Washington Post, the CIA is significantly expanding its role in the drone campaign, identifying and locating senior ISIS leaders for strikes carried out by U.S. Special Operations Command.
The expansion of the drone program is based in part on growing concern among U.S. officials over the ISIS threat.
However, it runs counter to the administration's stated goal of reversing the militarization of the CIA and returning it to a solely intelligence role, an effort supported even by many Republicans.
That's why they're called the intelligence agency and why we call the armed forces, obviously, the people that are supposed to be carrying out military operations.
So there's McCain who wants to be doing the drones himself, apparently.
Oh, yeah.
Now, this report came out about a week and a half ago, and since then we now know, according to reports, that more than 50 5-0 intelligence analysts working out of the CENTCOM, the U.S. Military Central Command, have formally complained that their reports on ISIS and al-Qaeda's affiliate there in Syria were being inappropriately altered by senior officials to make it look like we were winning the war against ISIS. This is a
huge offense.
I saw this story and had some thoughts on it.
I think I just tweeted them.
That doesn't help the show very much.
I can talk about it on the show, too.
Okay, I'm listening.
Nobody that listens to the show follows my tweets.
I do.
You're the only one.
The real Dvorak for anybody out there.
But most of the people are in the cars.
I think that these guys are all going to get fired.
Mm-hmm.
And I think that they're making a lot of assumptions.
I think they've gotten too big for their analytical britches.
You mean the intelligence guys or the guys who change the information?
No, the intelligence guys.
Oh, they've got to shut the fuck up.
Yeah, this is all being done for a purpose.
They don't know what the purpose is.
They're just supposed to gather the data and make their reports.
They're not supposed to get involved with the decision or how it's presented to anybody.
Get back in line.
Get back to what you're supposed to do, slave.
Hey, did you get the latest personalized copy of Inspire magazine?
No, I don't get Inspire.
Oh!
Do you want a subscription?
No.
Because if I give you one, then I have a chance at winning a free bike through my Grit membership.
What?
I'm just kidding.
Well, I want you to know what the latest is.
Inspire magazine...
This is your beat.
This is my beat.
Yes, indeed it is, and that's why I download everything and why I will be picked up as a lone wolf domestic terrorist eventually.
No, it's more like...
Inspire magazine known for how to make a kitchen, how to make a bomb in the kitchen of my mom, which has been touted as just so inspirational for so many of my fellow jihadists, is now encouraging lone wolf terrorist attacks on U.S. economic leaders, including Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg and Warren Buffett.
Oh, I thought there was also Sam Walton.
Charles and David Koch, Larry Ellison, Sheldon Adelson.
Sam Walton's been dead for a decade.
I didn't say Sam Walton, did I? You said that.
Well, that's what it said on the Fox News.
Jim Walton.
Oh, okay.
It's different.
Yeah.
So maybe, you know, it's a G, not a 9.
Jim Walton, who was one of the heirs of the Walmart.
Now, this is getting, you know, of course we know this is made in Langley.
They cobble this thing together.
And I guess now the idea is to say that, you know, the jihadis now should all kill everybody who's rich.
And preferably Republican, but, you know, they kind of threw in Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg, and Warren Buffett, but you get the Koch brothers, Larry Ellison, Adelson, you know.
At what point did people just go, this is bullshit?
Although...
Well, what's the...
Okay, when I say something like this, I'm thinking...
What's the point?
You gotta think, what's the point?
I'm thinking to myself, self?
Self?
Are they, like, soliciting money for the retirement, CIA, old folks' home, or...
I mean, who's...
Like, what is the point of this?
Do you have any thoughts?
Yeah, well, let's do it in real time.
So the presumption is this is a CIA publication...
That's our presumption.
That's our presumption, yeah.
And most people's presumptions.
It's certainly Al-Qaeda.
The Al-Qaeda guys are like, that's a good mag.
That's a good sheet, man.
We can't even come close to making that.
I don't know.
The list is kind of eclectic.
It's left and right.
It's supposed to be inspiring to do this.
Does it mean that these guys will be talking more about the problem?
Because Gates and Bloomberg and Buffett, they're all kind of vocal, I guess.
Even Ben Bernanke.
Gates is the one who will be freaked out the most because he got pied once.
Yeah, which is a very aggressive thing.
Yeah.
You have to get through all security with a pie.
Yeah.
And then you have to throw in the guy's face.
And that is just says, hey.
So the picture, the article has a photo which shows, you know, several of these folks that are blood splattered pictures with a dripping gun next to it.
And the goal of this so-called inspirational exercise by killing these people is to derail the revival of the American economy.
Now, since when did jihadis all of a sudden care about the economy?
And how does that make any sense?
I don't know.
It's just gone too far.
It doesn't make any sense.
These guys...
I know what it is.
I know what it is.
Okay.
Coke.
Coke?
Yeah.
The CIA guy sitting around snorting Coke.
I got a great idea.
It was a used Coke.
That's right.
They're drinkers.
I got to get this.
This was done about the media, that crazy weekend NPR show they had.
And it was, wait, don't tell me.
Wait, wait, wait, don't tell me.
That's been canceled.
That's been canceled, I think.
These are old shows.
Yeah, it's old shows.
Oh, that's a dumb thing to cancel.
It's hilarious.
Anyways, I don't think it's been canceled because those aren't old shows because they have news stories that are canceled.
Wait, wait, don't cancel.
Don't tell me it's been canceled.
You're reading that from the...
I'm looking it up now.
I'm a radio guy.
Whatever is canceled or not canceled, they had Bob Bear on.
And there was a couple of funny things about it.
NPR cancels.
Wait, wait, oh, tell me more, I'm sorry.
Wait, no, it is, wait, wait, don't tell me.
Is it the same?
I don't know.
Yeah, they're not canceled.
Bob Bear, you know, he's our regular, he's the guy in Denver, he's an ex-spook, supposedly ex.
So, guess what university he came from?
Berkeley?
Yeah.
Gee, why does that surprise me?
Yeah.
It was very interesting.
He told a lot of funny stories.
Bob Bear.
I'm sure the guy's hilarious.
That's why they keep him around.
Of course.
I was going to go someplace else with that.
That's fine.
I don't know what they're doing with this.
This is nonsense.
I think it's irresponsible.
Yes.
There was...
Man, I didn't clip that.
I'm such a moron.
Damn it.
That was part of my whole piece.
I was listening to Twit on the way back.
Jenny Jardin was on the show.
She has breast cancer.
And I don't think she's in the clear, at least not the way she was talking.
The whole show was weird.
It wasn't about technology.
It was about her growing squash.
I don't know.
It was annoying.
But at a certain point, she says, I have new religion.
It's the science that doctors provide me.
It was just, whoa!
I was completely blown away that she said that.
Because I'm on the lookout now for the science is the new religion.
I have a whole spiel that I'm going to blow out on the show once I get a couple more items.
Well, I have then a little taste of what it will be like.
This is...
What was this piece on?
Well, it was about the Pope and his embracing of technology and intertwining it with religion.
They interviewed some PR woman from Twitter.
And I should say a PR millennium girl, millennial girl, who's from Twitter and talking about, you know, how great it is.
And I just thought it was worth kind of putting into the category of science is the new religion.
And you can't fight it because that's what's happening.
The pontiff, otherwise known as at Pontifex, has over 6 million English-speaking followers alone.
By the way, that guy who I predicted months before he became pope, he's verified that I'm not.
I mean, come on.
I'm a pope predictor.
I predicted the pope before the smoke.
Verify me Twitter tweeting daily messages inspiration in at least seven different languages and averaging five to ten thousand retweets from followers across the globe Twitter you know fits very intuitively with religion What more do you need to hear?
What?
Well, Twitter is just like religion, you see.
Go back and play that again.
Oh, wait.
The sub clip.
Wait until you hear the rest.
It's the globe.
Twitter, you know, fits very intuitively with religion.
You know, it's short messages.
It's a way for people to connect with their community.
John, I had no idea.
Short messages.
Has she ever been to a sermon?
Yeah!
Short messages.
What is it?
She's never been to church.
It's a way for people to connect with their community.
I want to connect with my community.
It's just like religion.
It's perfect!
You have your flock in your church.
You have your flock on Twitter.
Oh, kill me now!
Kill me now!
Your flock on Twitter.
They should change it from followers to flock.
That would be much better.
People following you.
In the Philippines, religious tweeters even went so far as a nearly crashed Twitter server.
So you know that that's bullshit.
That the lady said, oh, but nearly crashed the server.
What is that?
You don't nearly crash the server.
Overloaded maybe, but not crashed.
During the papal visit.
But the Pope's active Twitter account also attracts naysayers as well.
No kidding.
Something the Vatican and Twitter are monitoring.
Now, Twitter is monitoring when people say ugly things to the pontiff and his flock.
If you read the replies to those, the discussions on Twitter are almost entirely made of trolling comments, people joking about the non-existence of God.
And, you know, that could really hurt people's feelings, so what do we do?
We do have rules.
If things are violating our rules, they are taken down.
Oh, so Twitter's all in with this religion.
Someone says something nasty to the holy man that, oh, if they troll him, they have to take it down.
It will be deleted because we're Twitter.
We are the new religion like a flock.
Fuck you.
The Archdiocese of Washington sees Francis' visit to the U.S. as an opportunity to attract a wave of new followers, both inside and outside the Catholic Church.
He's speaking these words of hope and inspiration, not only for millennials and young people, but people, anybody who is on social media.
And so I think what that does is it brings the words of the church to life.
It brings Jesus' voice to life.
It brings Pope Francis' voice to life.
Now, this is because he's really not real, I guess.
He's not dead.
He has to bring him to life.
I find this fascinating.
Because the tech horny amongst us will be all in and will say, yeah, this is great.
It's just like...
It truly is.
The tech horny love this book.
They love this story.
They just love it.
Oh, yes.
Twitter is like religion.
It's perfect.
You have your little sermons.
You have your flock.
And this is proof what is going on.
And it's pathetic.
Not quite as pathetic as the two phraseology memes that will be passed in before this report is over.
The hashtag WalkWithFrancis.
Churches across D.C. and Maryland are posting to social media platforms to help document the historic visit.
In anticipation of heavy traffic, Twitter says it's been making improvements to avoid another global glitch.
But at the end of the day, the church is hopeful that the followers' tweets will translate into action.
Just one of the better reports I've ever heard.
One of the better ones.
Everything was in there.
Glitch.
This is a prediction of sorts.
I'm not going to put it in the book.
The Pope will be dubbed.
One of the sharp writers.
I can't do it.
I can't do it on the fly.
I can almost do it, but I can't hit it.
I know it's going to be better than anything I'll come up with.
The Pope will somehow be dubbed the something Pope.
The computer Pope.
The Twitter Pope.
The cyber Pope.
The cyber Pope.
Could be cyber Pope.
The first cyber-pope.
Cyber-pope.
We need alliteration.
What can we do with a P? And maybe it's not the Pope, it's the pontiff.
The cyber-pontiff.
Robo-pope.
It'll be something.
You're trying to get a name, a nickname.
Chat room, this is your chance.
Like, the iPope.
I like the iPope.
iPope.
That's actually not bad.
Or the E-Pope.
The iPope.
I think...
iPope.
iPope.
I got myself an iPope today.
Which, of course, soon will be rebranded to Apple Pope.
Because, you know, we can't just keep using the I. Pope on a rope.
Pope on a rope.
Electro-Pope.
Okay.
Uninspiring.
Uninspiring.
It'll happen.
Yeah.
Yes.
And I've always said he is a part of this new socialist world, that new world order that we're...
Yeah, he fits right in.
He's doing a great job.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's doing a fantastic job.
Everyone loves him.
But be very aware of this.
I'll have to grab that clip of Jenny Jardin.
It was mind-boggling.
Mind-boggling because I know that she's one of the people.
Somebody said it.
Yeah, I heard it.
Somebody said it.
That's the clip of it.
But I listened to the show because I was driving back from Galveston.
I couldn't finish.
It was so boring.
So boring.
I think it's funny.
It's funny.
Science is the new religion.
It is true.
Well, it's been the new religion for a while.
It's just now, I think, it's peaked with the climate science religion.
Yeah, what did I have on...
I had something about that.
What did I have?
I had a...
This was actually...
That's kind of a long clip.
Maybe a...
Maybe.
And there was a...
Bob Guccione Jr.
was on the WTF podcast with Marc Maron.
Yeah.
And he made a lot of sense.
And he was talking about how...
Yeah, I heard that too.
Now, Maron is obviously all in on global warming if you listen to his...
Because Guccione was going on about how they couldn't do any anti...
This is the religion.
You can't say anything bad against the religion.
And so he got almost...
His editors almost...
It's a very good clip.
Do you have the clip?
I have the clip.
Yeah, you want to hear it?
Yeah, let's play it.
When we get tired of it, we'll stop.
But it was good, and I like playing it because it's from another podcast.
We don't get an opportunity to do that very often.
When I had Discover Magazine, I had editors quit because I did articles they found politically incorrect.
Like what?
Well, very early on, the whole climate...
What magazine is his again, John?
Is it Penthouse?
No, no, Discover.
This is not Bob Guccione.
This is his kid.
Junior.
Bob Guccione Jr.
is what I said.
I think we're good to go.
In my lab, we've been looking at something for seven years every minute of the day, every second of the day for seven years, and it's sunspot activity.
He says that in actual fact, we found a correlation of 100% between sunspot activity and the Earth's temperature.
So, solar storms, when they are directed at the Earth, because of course they're also not directed at the Earth, but when they're directed at the Earth, influence the temperature, 100% correlation.
100%.
Right.
It's parallel lines for seven years.
He says, so clearly, we're warming up, but the sun has a lot to do with it.
Well, I had an editor literally quit.
And others threatened to quit.
They didn't.
This was what year?
At Discover in the year 2006 or 2007.
And I remember saying to this group, I had to call an editor.
I said, listen, let me tell you something.
First of all, The magazine is publishing this article word for word, and I'm final editing, top editing it.
But you're not denying climate change?
No, of course not.
There's an oscillation of human responsibility for it, but you're presenting...
I'm presenting another science.
And I said to them in this meeting, I said, science, the actual definition of science is to prove a theory wrong.
Is that true, John?
That doesn't sound right to me.
No, it is true.
That is the actual definition of science?
It's part of the larger definition.
I thought it was to take someone's theory, to prove it wrong or right, but to continuously be trying to prove if a theorem is right or wrong.
It's part of it, yeah.
It's not wrong, but this is specifically what it says.
I love Mark Mangold.
He's all in.
Mindiness to science.
It makes science fantastic.
And you were a bunch of science editors.
What?
He's thinking to himself, why am I talking to this guy?
He's a heathen.
He doesn't believe in the science.
The science is in.
It's his resolve.
Why is he even telling me this?
There's writers sitting around complaining and stamping their little feet because this was a politically incorrect thing to publish.
So they didn't want to be associated with climate change denying.
You're right, it was even before the phrase came up.
Right.
It was that early.
So I said, listen, the truth is the truth.
And the truth about science is that it's never black and white.
I said, so why is it that only one set of voices should be heard?
We know, we know from hearing from scientists.
I said, you know, because they told you, but there's a whole other group, by the way, very credible, who have another point of view.
That has to be included.
So, yeah, I'm not a denialist.
You know what I am?
I'm a hysteria skeptic.
And when he gets hysterical...
I think that's enough.
Yeah, exactly.
But the point is well made.
I think so, but it brings me to another clip.
Okie dokie?
It's like playing tennis with you today.
Ping pong, baby.
Table tennis.
So Jerry Brown...
Really?
You have to go there?
Oh, this is a good one.
These two clips are dynamite.
Okay.
So Jerry Brown decides that he wants the state...
He's the governor of California.
Governor Jerry Brown.
We have people in other lands who...
Used to be Moonbeam Brown.
He used to be governor once before.
Solely responsible for not having enough reservoir water in California.
She's responsible for all the screw-ups.
Yeah.
So he's decided that he wants to make everyone go to California buy electric cars, and we have to stop using gasoline, so he wants to pass a law where we have to use half as much.
Wait a minute.
You can only fill up your tank halfway?
Well, he says your allocation for the year will be half as much.
You have to use half as much gas.
We will have rationing when we get down to it.
Not a problem.
You want milk?
You will have less milk, less gasoline.
So his assembly, which you have to remember, California's got a Democrat...
Hail Apple!
Governor, a Democratic Senate, Democratic Assembly, all Democrats, but apparently the Assembly decided they can't deal with this.
So he got very irked by this, and I got a two-parter.
This is him being irked.
Step back for a second.
Okay.
So did he publish an article, or was this a speech, was this a policy proposal that he...
It was a law he tried to get past.
A law?
A law.
Now, do you have any information on the background of this law?
It was written by some guy.
No, the background is that Brown is nuts!
No, but I want to find the actual law.
The clip explains a little bit.
I think Jerry Brown irked part one.
Better pill for him to swallow, for sure.
Jerry Brown was pushing a bill that was going to cut California's oil use in half by 2030.
Well, today the bill's offer dropped that mandate after it became clear he just didn't have the votes.
Because climate change is not some little, you know, issue that of a governor or anybody else here.
This is an existential threat to your children.
In a rather angry news conference this afternoon, the governor blamed oil companies for gutting the bill, but he pledged to keep fighting to reduce California's dependence on fossil fuels.
Climate change is real!
It's real!
So he goes off.
Senate Bill 350 is what this is.
Yes, right.
I knew that.
It's a proposal to raise billions of dollars for road repairs, which we then won't be using because we're out of gas.
This guy is crazy.
He's totally crazy.
So he goes off, and everyone gets kind of freaked out by it, but I kind of have a take on it that's more traditional.
We're going forward.
The only thing different is my zeal has been intensified to a maximum degree.
And nothing, nothing is going to stop this state from pushing forward on our low-carbon fuel standard and our cap-and-trade and our electric vehicle mandate and all the rest.
We're not going the way other states where they can say, no, you jump through the hoops and then we'll give you a few crumbs.
We're not taking the crumbs.
We're not taking the bait.
And California will continue.
I am Governor Terry Brown.
High, California.
I'll say a little.
I will be scared of the day.
I will come and all of you.
You'll make a better dance in the school.
You'll make a better dance in the school.
California, Colorado, California.
California, Colorado, California.
California, Colorado.
The story of the night.
The science is in.
Slow clap.
Good work.
Good work.
That is JCD to the max, ladies and gentlemen.
You do it every time with the same song, but I still love it.
Dead Kennedys.
Dead Kennedys.
Very nice.
Good mix.
I liked it.
All the way up to the post.
It was good.
Yeah.
So, section two.
Section one.
The legislature finds and declares the governor has called for a new set of objectives in clean energy, clean air, and pollution reduction for 2030.
Remember, what is our website?
Is it 2030.org?
I don't know.
I forget.
One of those things that we have sitting there waiting to be exploited.
Yeah.
Well, I can't remember what it was.
But yes, we knew that 2030 is the year that everything's going to happen being used by politicians like Jerry Brown.
These objectives consist of the following.
One, to increase from 33% to 50% the procurement of our electricity from renewable sources.
Which would be burning trees or nuclear.
Which actually, nuclear isn't even renewable.
It's just clean.
It's reusable.
To reduce today's petroleum use in cars and trucks by up to 50%.
He says up to, which is fudgy-wudgy.
So it could be 40.
Up to.
Squishy.
Squishy-squashy.
What a doofus.
Yeah, that's great.
Was Elon Musk on Colbert last night?
I didn't have time to watch it.
I was preparing for this show.
Yeah, I didn't watch it either.
I watched the first one.
The first one was terrible.
Yawn.
He's got not enough guests.
It's not funny.
It's not funny.
It's just not funny.
I like Colbert, but the show's not funny.
Not funny.
And he's nervous.
And the set is like from Ellen.
Like a vasectomy guy.
It's like Ellen's show.
It's kind of a soft, pastel-y thing.
The theme song was like, what the hell is this theme song?
It's for a morning show.
It didn't have no punch.
It was lame.
While we're on Moonbeams, wait, first before that, a big report from NBCMiami.com, although I couldn't find a video report.
Headline.
Study!
We are shifting to fewer, weaker Atlantic hurricanes.
Oh, yes.
Oh, wait a minute.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yes.
A new but controversial study from Colorado State University asks if an end is coming to the busy Atlantic hurricane season of recent decades.
Well, no, it's been over for a decade, but okay.
The Atlantic looks like it's entering into a new quieter cycle of storm activity, like in the 70s and 80s.
Two prominent hurricane researchers wrote Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience.
Now, I'm okay with this being a scientific...
It's a piece of work because you're supposed to challenge the status quo.
And they say, hey, look, our research shows that it's not going to happen that way.
The only problem is when we point out the obvious that we haven't had huge hurricanes for a decade, then we're conspiracy theorists, climate change deniers, and you hate the Jews.
Whatever.
It's always something like that.
So, okay.
I guess that climate change is going to skip.
And El Nino is also going to skip the hurricane season?
I don't know.
But here is Tom Vilsack.
Now, for some reason, I keep picking up clips on him.
He is our Secretary of Agriculture.
You recall he was talking about the government fully committing the slaves in their Schule to three meals a day and a snack, which of course will make them mistrustful of their parents and pretty much divorce the kids from the parents, make them good little human resources for the state.
For the uber lords of the state.
State exploitation.
Now he has some ideas on how you can get kids to eat their veggies.
Yes, I said veggies.
Sometimes by naming the particular vegetables with cool names, you can actually encourage young people to participate and take more of carrots than they would otherwise.
So he's giving parenting advice now, John.
But you have reared a few children.
I have reared one.
If you were taking the advice of our Secretary of Agriculture to help kids take carrots into their digestive system, and you want to give it a cool name, Yeah.
What would the name be and what would the tactic be that you use to convince the children?
And I will give you a hint.
It's a huge lie.
So he's not just saying make up a cool name, but actually lie to your children.
What do you think that would be?
A carrot name to sucker some kid into eating carrots.
You can make them eat carrots by pureeing them and then putting a lot of butter in there.
That will usually do a little salt.
But if you wanted to just make them eat a carrot, like a raw carrot or even a cooked carrot, and you wanted to give it a fancy name, No, a cool name.
A cool name.
And mind you, he doesn't say it, but you also are going to lie to your children.
Okay, I'd say Super C. Of carrots than they would otherwise take if you tell them that it's x-ray carrots, that they'll have x-ray vision by eating carrots.
There you go.
What?
Yeah, you say they're x-ray carrots and you get x-ray vision by eating them.
You don't want to tell the kids this.
But you have to take the two in sequence.
Hey man, I ate the carrots.
I can't see through anything.
Where the government now wants to feed your children.
And apparently they're going to be telling your children, these are x-ray carrots, kids.
They give you x-ray vision.
This is the government.
This is bad.
That they'll have x-rays vision with by eating carrots.
It may be the way in which it's displayed.
It may be the way in which who is serving it.
There may be opportunities for contests and so forth that can encourage more participation.
Hey everybody, welcome to Z100 Caller 100.
Hey, you can eat some carrots today.
Tell me what's going on.
Who are you having on?
Hello.
It's Shaquanda.
Hey, it's Shaquanda.
How are you doing?
Have you had your carrots today?
I don't But don't you know they have x-ray vision?
They are x-ray cares!
Hey, hey!
Yeah, you could do that.
What a dick.
Total dick.
Speaking of crazy radio, this is just to show you how fantastic it is that you support the best podcast in the universe.
Even though we don't talk about it because we consider it to be a local news story.
Two Missouri radio hosts were suspended.
And this is K-T-T-S-F-M, K-S-G-F-M-F-M and K-S-G-F-F-A-M. Hooray in the morning, everybody!
They were discussing...
But amongst themselves on the show, hey, you know, this might have been some kind of hoax, this shooting to, you know, I don't know, to influence gun legislation.
Boom!
They're taken off the air.
Taken off the air.
If this doesn't prove that you need to be supposed to be supporting your No Agenda show, I don't know what does.
I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on no agenda in the morning.
These are boys of West Oswald.
We want to thank him right off the top in Perth.
$151.51.
And he has something here.
Let me click.
Oh, he wants a belated happy birthday to you.
Oh, thank you very much.
Daniel.
Oh, by the way, so I had Luke Nichols, the guy who runs the Epic Brewery in New Zealand.
Oh, yeah.
You tasted some of the Epic No Agenda beer.
I have a bunch of bottles.
You smuggled them in.
Oh, I Yeah, I'll get you one.
And that's what I asked him about.
One?
How about half?
I mean, one.
How about half the supply?
What are you now, you're welching on me?
I'm not welching on you.
You said I'll get you one, but you have a couple.
I'll get you one.
How many bottles do you have?
I got six.
Well, give me three.
Ugh.
I met with the guy.
Here's what's going to happen.
This may actually be an imported item.
They've sold so much no-agenda beer that he's had to make a second run.
You're kidding me!
No.
This is dynamite!
He came up with a formula that's really apparently a brown ale.
Our formula is this.
We go out and hit people in the mouth and it tastes good.
Yes.
And the whole bottle's got memes on it.
It's crazy.
Yeah, we've posted a picture of it before on the show.
It's beautiful.
And I've seen it on tap.
There's a picture of it on tap.
This guy is like the brewer.
This is not a slouch.
Although we have some really high-end brewers that listen to the show.
There's a guy, I think he's in Wisconsin.
There's a few.
But this guy is like the top brewer in the whole country.
And we're a number one seller?
We're a best seller because he has to make more.
Now they've started exporting it to Australia.
Oh man, those guys love beer.
I've gotten some, I've gotten some, and they're all happy about it.
Can you imagine when I finally do my Down Under tour and people will be like, I don't know about that podcast, but I love your beer, mate!
Exactly.
We joked about that.
Screw the podcast.
That'd be the end result of all the work of the podcast.
755 episodes and great beer.
You guys got a great head.
So the beer you want, I have only one bottle of.
No agenda beer is a good beer, but he makes a beer that I think competes with Pliny, which is a very famous beer that beer drinkers know about.
He has this beer called Hop Zombie.
Cool.
It is the hoppiest beer I have ever had in my life.
It is so hoppy.
Hoppy.
But generally speaking, a beer with a lot of hops tends to be kind of bitter and it never melds properly.
It doesn't really taste.
It tastes like a beer.
It doesn't come together.
It's like certain wines, they use too much oak and it never melds with the fruit and it just becomes like when you drink the wine, you taste, oh, there's oak and there's fruit and it just doesn't come together.
This comes together like an astonishing product.
And you are a very discerning, very critical connoisseur of alcoholic beverage.
Yeah.
Is it like an IPA? The No Agenda Beer?
Yeah.
The No Gender Beer is what he calls an ITM Brown IPA. It's a cool ITM Brown IPA. ITMB IPA. Yeah, there you go.
How many BTUs?
Well, I didn't get that.
Anyway, so this is a famous product.
Hopefully he's going to ship that over to the U.S. if he can get...
He's over here buying hops and at the same time trying to figure out how to get...
His beer would be a success.
Does it have the URL noagendashow.com on the bottle?
Yeah, he's got everything on there.
Oh, that's great.
Well, welcome, beer lovers.

He says he either wants to be circumvent of the man protector of privacy or circumvent the law protector of privacy.
Well, I don't know.
I guess he leaves it up to us.
We can make a decision.
I think the law protector is nice, don't you think?

Thank you for supporting this show.
There's no other way we could do it without you.
No, in fact, we'd be fired.
Yeah, in a heartbeat.
Man, where did the time go?
We would have been fired two or three times by now.
It's already two and a half hours that we've been doing this.
What happened?
We only have 15 minutes left.
Yeah, not 10, 15.
Well, I've got a good story, a funny story.
Well, it's not funny.
But I just like the way that the NewsHour...
By the way, when I'm doing the 3x3, it really makes me appreciate the NewsHour more and more.
But again, CBS does the best job.
But I like the way they can do a deadpan story.
Now this is Gwen, the hagiographer.
The hagiographer.
Now, this story was not covered by any of the big media, but it's about a Jew-hater in Kansas who shot up a place, and now he's going to...
You mean a domestic terrorist?
Domestic terrorist, but it never got picked up that way, that it was avoided.
It wasn't in the mix...
So it wasn't approved, it wasn't sanctioned by the government, so it just showed up as a story.
And so then they played, this is playing the story out, and I just thought it was hilarious, I don't know why.
Yeah, okay, I have it.
The Kansas jury is recommending the death penalty for a white supremacist who attacked Jewish sites last year.
Frazier Glenn Miller shot and killed three people and said he wanted to kill Jews, but it turned out that none of the victims was Jewish.
In court today, Miller told the jury he didn't care what they decided, and he gave the Nazi salute.
He should be killed for being stupid.
What a moron.
He gave the Nazi salute.
You mean hail apple?
Is that what he did?
No, Hale Apple's different.
Not much.
Not much.
No, Hale Apple is the fifth straight in the air.
By the way, I have noticed this, and I've noticed this, I think I saw an example of this on CBS. CBS. Who is not on Trump.
Instead of running a...
There's so much video on Trump, right?
I mean, there's tons of it.
Yeah, yeah.
And they just decided they're talking about Trump and they show a still image instead of a video.
And it was very subtle.
You wouldn't catch it right away.
If you're no agenda, you know, mindset, you probably would have caught it.
But he was waving to the audience.
It was just a still shot with a bunch of people gathered around him and said, oh, he draws a lot of a big crowd.
He's waving.
But in a funny way, that wave looked like a Hitler salute.
Right.
Because I was thinking, why are they showing us still?
I need to read something to you.
Hold on a second.
On the TV. Well, so this whole Donald Trump is Hitler thing, which we identified early on.
Yeah.
Let me just find this for a second.
So one of my Obama bot friends, who has not been to the dinner, but she's a good girl.
And she was writing something about Trump.
Let me just find...
It's on Facebook, of course, where all the good stuff happens.
And here it is.
Well, there's a whole bunch of things now.
Donald Trump isn't an embarrassment to our country.
He's an indictment of it.
The fact that he is the conservative frontrunner for the highest job in the land with absolutely zero experience, flaunting a ticket of unbridled bigotry, xenophobia, and misogyny clearly shows everything that is wrong with the USA. They're buying it hook, line, and sinker.
But I'm just...
I want to find the...
Where is the Hitler thing?
Those people are voting for Hillary anyway.
But it's...
I find it sad.
Here it is.
Oh, it's about the handwritten note that Trump sent to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, which was, you know, it was like a non-story who gives a crap.
I'm not even going to read the note.
That's not interesting.
But the comments that...
Here it is.
What did he say in this...
I don't know anything about this note.
Non-event.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had written in an op-ed for the Washington Post, took issue with the infuriating media manufacturer narrative that Bernie Sanders is to the left where Trump is to the right.
But anyway, so Trump sent him a note back and said, you know, this is why people hate you.
You're stupid.
Something like that.
Oh, but here it is.
Kareem, not fucking popovers.
Now I know why the press always treated you so badly.
They couldn't stand you.
The fact is, you don't have a clue about life and what has to be done to make America great again.
Best wishes, Donald Trump.
So that's funny.
It's not horrible.
But here's my...
I call her my friend.
She's responding to one of the other commenters.
The media is either ignoring or has been bullied by his Trump tactics into looking the other way when it comes to spotlighting the effect that Trump is having on his base.
And exactly who his base is.
Giggling at the audacity and sheer lack of self-control on Trump's part is probably not the warranted response.
I should be and am terrified of this man.
Are you kidding?
Yes.
They're terrified that Trump will be cut here.
So she's responding to this.
I'll just go halfway.
I wish the media didn't get so caught up in the humor of the absurdity of Trump's behavior.
This is Obama bots posting on Facebook.
They overlook and underestimate the really dangerous and ugly people that he's emboldened.
He has been endorsed by neo-Nazi groups and white supremacist organizations.
I really don't think he stands a chance, but there are so many people who think that way and admire his arrogance and coarseness concerns me.
The media should be shining a light on that rather than making light of his egomaniacal behavior.
There really is nothing funny about the way he thinks and the people who follow him.
We're all going to die!
These people really think that Trump is leading the Nazi party or something.
Yeah.
Well, they've always thought the Republican Party was the Nazi Party anyway, so it falls right into their narrative, their pre-definition of the world.
Well, people like this are being frightened every single day.
In fact, this is in Arizona.
Now, the report is, they have nothing.
This is why the report is all man-on-the-street stuff, which is all really, you know, a bit sketchy.
But apparently someone is shooting up or throwing brakes onto the I-10.
No, they're shooting in Phoenix.
Yeah, on the I-10.
But what's interesting is the report sets it up as domestic terrorism, yet the police constable or whatever doesn't actually use the word domestic.
In Arizona, fears are growing that a sniper could be on the loose, taking aim at drivers on the highway.
The 10th incident in 12 days today, and authorities say at least half of the vehicle's Targeted were hit by gunfire.
State police calling it a case of domestic...
See, half.
The other half were hit by bricks and other things, which could be totally unrelated.
Terrorism.
There's domestic terrorism.
National correspondent Miguel Almaguer has the latest.
Hey, Miguel.
Tonight, many drivers are asking, is this the most dangerous roadway in the nation?
The I-10 through Phoenix, Arizona.
Where vehicles have been targeted by gunfire or projectiles.
This rear window shattered this afternoon.
The driver not injured, but rattled.
Somebody will get hurt or somebody will get killed if this continues.
The director of transportation is warning the public, be vigilant.
Any time that you have multiple shootings against American citizens on a highway, that's terrorism.
They're trying to frighten or kill somebody.
But he doesn't actually say domestic terrorism.
So it's just kind of being floated into the domestic terrorism realm.
The rash of shootings in Phoenix began August 29th.
Seven incidents along Interstate 10.
Hey, John, why do you think he's yelling at us?
It chops.
It grinds.
Why is he yelling at us?
Three others in the area.
Hey, he's yelling.
He's yelling.
Be afraid.
The one location hasn't been disclosed.
They involved parties advising their window was possibly shot at.
Be very afraid.
Be very afraid.
At least five vehicles were hit by gunfire, shattering windows and headlights.
You know, they did a shitty job on this.
Where's all the sound effects?
CNN does this so much better.
I'll sweeten up his...
He needs to sweeten this up a little bit.
This is no good.
Hold on, let me just get this ready.
My goodness, I can't believe...
And they don't have any of the, you know, like this.
They need to put that in there.
These guys need the Curry-Devorak Consulting Group.
Against American citizens on a highway, that's terrorism.
They're trying to frighten or kill somebody.
The rash of shootings in Phoenix began August 29th.

One lodged into the bus Robert McDonald was driving.
I came literally...
Was the guy's name Ronald McDonald?
Hold on, I think it was something else.
Lodged into the bus, Robert McDonald was driving.
I came literally 24 to 36 inches from losing my life.
Literally 36 inches from losing my life.
When they found the bullet in the seat right behind me, yeah, I almost fainted.
Hundreds of thousands pass through this stretch of urban roadway every day.
Drivers here are on edge.
It's cowardly, it's...
It's not right.
Even our camera crew questioned as they stopped to record video along the interstate.
Janelle Branick remembers the Beltway Sniper from when she lived in Maryland 13 years ago.
I know.
This guy is yelling and screaming.
I know.
He's yelling.
This is the first guy.
NBC has these kinds of reporters.
Richard Engel's a shouter.
He shouts at you.
Shouter.
Pukers.
Pukers.
And what really bothers me is that they have these, like you said, the man on the street thing.
This was developed...
Adam Curtis did a little movie about how the news media has gone...
We talked about this a lot on the show.
The news media has gone and just finds some random guy on the street.
You find some dummy in Texas and let him say something.
And you make that part of your news report instead of, you know, screw having experts.
Let's see what the public thinks about this.
It doesn't bother me so much because you get so used to it.
But when you start...
When you use that as a basis for quoting...
I find it very, very disturbing.
And this is what Bill Maher did on his last show.
And then he quotes somebody who called into a radio show.
Any random person can call into a radio show and say whatever they want.
You can't intellectually be honest intellectually and quote them.
You don't know if they're a Democrat posing as a Republican.
You have no idea.
And then to associate the guy with a Republican when you don't know is just, to me, this is really the basic disturbing aspect of this a-hole.
But listen to this.
What about camps?
Maybe we could have camps.
There was a guy on the radio who said that the other day.
If they stay and we try to send them back and they don't go, we should make them slaves.
Like Germany.
The problem that the Republicans have is that it's bad rhetoric, it's divisive, and he's their guy.
He's their guy.
He's their guy.
What's divisive is you, lady.
Who was that?
Some...
Some local politician from Washington is trying to run for Congress.
So, most importantly, what has happened to society, and Gitmo Nation proper here in the United States, is right up front, you're given these phony baloney choices.
Right, left, red, blue, Democrat, Republican.
It's just phony baloney choices.
The Jets, the Rams, whatever.
It's all dumb choices.
And you think that you're living your life, but you're not.
You're not.
Did you see any of the Planned Parenthood?
John and I have a pretty big expose coming up that we're working on about Planned Parenthood.
Enough said there, I think?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, pretty interesting.
To both of us, jarring.
Yeah.
Well, it's only jarring for a second, and then you go, oh, wait a minute.
Yeah.
Makes total sense, but I need to get up to speed on a few things.
John's a little ahead of me.
I just want to make sure we have as much of the facts down as possible, which will be good.
It'll be good.
Very no agenda, deconstruction, and analysis.
Meanwhile, there were hearings on the Hill.
H-O-H. H-O-T-H. Hearings on the Hill about Planned Parenthood and funding or defunding.
And this guy, Franks, he's a Republican from, where's he from?
I think he's from Arizona.
And I just loved his news-biteable little sound clip here that is just, the guy's really good.
Theater of the mind, ladies and gentlemen.
One of these videos describes an incident where one of Planned Parenthood's employees calls one of the younger employees over to witness something that was, quote, kind of cool, unquote.
That one of the baby's hearts was still beating.
The older employee then said, quote, Okay, this is a really good fetus.
And it looks like we can procure a lot from it.
Is that a good show title?
Really good fetus?
Could we use that as a show title?
No, maybe not.
We're going to procure a brain.
Unquote.
And then using scissors, together the two employees, starting at the baby's chin, cut upward through the center of this child's face and pulled out the baby's little brain and placed it in a container where it could later be sold.
Mr.
Chairman, I find it so crushingly sad that the only time this little baby was ever held by anyone in his short life was by those who cut his face open and took his brain.
Oh, genius.
I don't know why it makes me laugh.
You're a sick man.
I am clearly a sick man.
But it's just, you know, this is...
We got bigger fish to fry is what I'm thinking, but okay.
Something amiss with some of this stuff.
Yeah.
We have a no agenda.
This is yours, I believe.
You'd like to harp on it.
There is a no agenda meme that is expressed by the black intellectual Thomas Sowell.
Sowell.
Hold on.
Less than 10 minutes to go, okay?
Okay.
And see if you can spot it.
And he showed up on...
Sowell is a syndicated columnist that has always been the number one voice of the right-wing black guy.
And he showed up on Hannity, and he dropped the No Agenda meme in there.
And I said, oh, ha!
What's the clip?
What would it be called?
The clip is Thomas Sowell.
Sowell.
Sowell, okay.
Gotcha.
Lives matter.
All lives matter.
All lives matter.
Then he apologized for saying all lives matter.
But what do those boos tell you, Professor?
I think that this is a movement which has this desire to have power and prominence, and logic doesn't mean much to them.
And I'm afraid that no lives really matter very much to them if they can do this.
Very nice.
Very nice, sir.
Hashtag no lives matter.
That is indeed.
He's clearly a listener.
Good guy.
Eight more days, John.
Four days?
The Flying Burrito.
I don't like the Flying Burrito.
I don't think it's not quite sexy enough for the Airstream.
But I want to give us a little update on what the plan is for the I Love Laundry Tour, taking the show on the road, coming to a couple states, really.
It's going to be short, and we're not going to get up to Canada.
I'm not going to get up to Canada.
This first leg of the tour, should I give you a little rundown of what the plan is?
Are you one of those guys who can get close to Canada and say, hell with it, I'm going to Canada?
No, because I have to be in New York October 2nd for the panel I'm on, the future broadcast radio.
Are you one of those people who can say to yourself, instead of making this run up the gut, I'm going to take the trailer to New York?
I looked at it, and I won't be able to make it unless I drive 10 hours a day.
So, unfortunately...
Left, right, tomorrow?
Well, I have other obligations, John.
Unlike, you know, popular conception, I have a life.
Well, that's a shame.
I know.
But I have, you know, the Airstream is mine to use, so we can use it.
You do the best work on the East Coast, you know.
Really?
Well, I'm going to definitely go to New York with it, of course.
But let me give you a little rundown.
So the idea is Friday the 18th, leave Austin, and I'll drive about six and a half to seven hours and arrive in Lubbock, Texas, which is beautiful.
It's on the way.
But Lubbock, Texas.
And I'm thinking we could do a meet-up.
That's a wine-growing area.
We could do a meet-up.
We could do a meet-up Friday evening.
Then Saturday, I leave Lubbock.
Now, of course, I can only drive about five miles, and I arrive in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
And then at that point, I will be doing prep.
Because I'm driving myself, so I can't do stuff while driving.
Then on Sunday, of course, do the show.
After the show, I'd like to do a meet-up in Santa Fe.
So you're not taking Tina the Keeper?
She's joining up with the tour later.
Stay with me.
Tina the Keeper.
Crazy?
She has a job.
She can't just take off anytime she wants.
She can't do the job from VPN? No.
And children depend on it, so no.
So Sunday we do the show, then have the meetup, then leave Monday morning and drive another 5-6 miles up to Colorado Springs.
You're driving 5-6 miles?
That's not 5-6 hours.
No, it's 322 miles, sorry.
5-6 hours.
I'm driving 5 miles!
So that'll be Monday, and then we'll do a meetup, I think.
Yeah.
A meetup?
We can do a meetup in Colorado Springs.
Now, Bad Chad, who lives in Boulder, the idea was on Monday, I'm sorry, Tuesday, to go from Colorado Springs to Boulder, but I'm going to pick up Tina the Keeper in Denver at the airport.
She's going to fly in.
Now, the thing that's up in the air is Bad Chad, who's our guy there in Boulder.
Erie, actually, but Boulder.
He's going to be in Durango.
So maybe I'll go to Durango instead.
We'll have to see what goes on there.
Well, Boulder's where you want to go.
We'll find out what happens.
But then we're in Boulder, and we'll do a meet-up Tuesday the 22nd.
Leave Boulder on Wednesday for Yellowstone.
Now, that's a long trip.
That's eight hours.
But, Tina, the keeper can drive.
She can do part of the drive, so I can do part of the prep, etc.
Then we want to be in Yellowstone for the show Thursday.
And, of course, when we arrive Wednesday, I've got to make sure we have the right connectivity.
There is a park, a campground in Yellowstone that apparently has Verizon LTE. They've got an antenna on site.
If not, it'll be the first time I test out the Yagi antenna and the booster, and I'm leaving some room because if it all sucks, then we'll have to drive somewhere to where there's connectivity.
Staying in Yellowstone Thursday and Friday, leave Yellowstone Saturday to Salt Lake City.
And that's in another six hours.
Salt Lake City.
Then do the show on Sunday and a meet-up.
And I drop Tina off.
She's going to go back.
She's just staying for the Denver and Yellowstone.
Has she been to Yellowstone?
No.
Neither have I. You'll love Yellowstone.
Let's go have some fun in Yellowstone.
Then Sunday...
We should have dinner in the Big Lodge.
Dinner in the Big Lodge.
Noted.
Then Monday...
Leave Salt Lake City.
Now it's just going straight back.
Now I'm going as fast as I can to get back in time for the prep and the show on Wednesday.
I'll go back through Albuquerque.
We have a night in Albuquerque.
Tuesday I leave Albuquerque and then go back, I guess, via Lubbock.
And then if I can make it, I'll go all the way to Austin, but probably won't arrive in Austin until Wednesday afternoon.
Then we do the show.
Then Thursday night I get on a plane and fly to New York for this thing in Syracuse.
Come back.
I hope I can get back Friday night, otherwise Saturday, prep and then show, and then we're back on the schedule, and then we'll have to figure out the next leg of the tour.
You're wearing me out.
I'm putting some serious work into this.
You know, this is for reals.
Yeah, it sounds like an ordeal.
Well, an ordeal or just super fun.
We're bringing the show to you.
So we won't make a Scandinavia this time, but we can do it on the next trip.
I just got to plan it.
The bummer is I promised this thing in New York, and I can't get out of it.
Here's the deal.
It has to be on one of the off days so I can fly in and fly out.
If you go to Saskatoon...
Plan to go to Saskatoon, which you may not be able to do because it's going to be winter.
Can't make it.
Oh, you mean...
Okay, yeah, maybe.
Maybe next spring.
Maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah.
I'll fly in.
Yeah, but somehow I'm supposed to believe this?
Oh, no, absolutely.
I guarantee it.
I would put it down in writing.
Hmm.
Hmm.
It's on my bucket list.
Saskatoon?
Saskatoon is the Paris of Canada.
It is, indeed.
And I want to go there.
Okay.
Alright.
Then, uh...
We'll plan on it.
We'll have a nice Canadian meetup if I have two or three people show up.
Uh-huh.
And that would be cool.
Well, we will count on it.
We'll count on it.
Okay, so that is in the works.
Um...
I have, uh...
I'm excited.
You know, I think I've figured I know how to do everything.
I could control the trailer.
It's all good.
And I'm looking forward to meeting y'all out there.
And of course, what I'd like to have, not I've given you the schedule, but I'd like to have some people organize these meetups because we need all the help we can get on doing that.
Yeah, well, you need all the help you can get driving around those mountains in Colorado.
Yeah, I could use a lot of help for a lot of things.
That's why I'm in therapy.
We're working on it.
And that wraps up another deconstruction session here on the best podcast in the universe.
Appreciate the support you've given us.
Please consider us for Sunday, dvorak.org.na.
Help is always welcome.
And with that, coming to you from the Crackpot Condo here in the capital of the Drone Star State, downtown Austin, Tejas.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, our last day of high heat.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
We will return Sunday right here on No Agenda.
Adios, mofos.
The reverse crusade.
Flying. Flying.
Let her listen.
Airstream.
Airstrikes.
Not respectful.
Bomb them.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm sorry.
Bomb them!
Bomb them again!
Can we have this person removed, please?
La Haini!
Let me tell you!
Bomb them!
Keep bombing them.
You're in my house.
The reverse, per se.
I love laundry.
Well, it certainly doesn't make me feel good.
*music* And wash your hands after touching any raw meat.
