	I feel a little slimy.
	I don't know.
	You feel a little dirty?
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, September 17th, 2015 time.
	Once again, for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 757.
	This is No Agenda.
	Covering north and south of Gitmo Nation's Antebellum 2.0 and broadcasting live from FEMA Region 6 in the capital of the drone star state in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where it actually rained, which is good, I'm John C. DeVore.
	It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill in the morning.
	Not only that, but I believe it's snowing in the mountains.
	It should be.
	Yeah, and people are going, whoa!
	We didn't expect that.
	Especially since we just started the wine harvest.
	Oh, that's not good for wine?
	Well, it's not snowing in the wine growing areas.
	I know, but rain, does it matter if it's raining during the wine harvest?
	Well, you better be picking if it's raining.
	Okay.
	The problem is that the grapes, well, two problems.
	One is that the moisture gets in and around the clusters and it starts to rot.
	I hate it when my grapes rot.
	And then the other thing is the grapes themselves, through the skins, the skins will actually absorb water and then they get water.
	No good.
	No good.
	John, I'm a little depressed today.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	Wait, let me guess why.
	Okay.
	Because you know you're going to go on the big journey.
	No, quite the contrary.
	I'm very happy I'm going on the big journey, leaving tomorrow morning.
	Yes.
	First stop, Lubbock, Texas.
	This is the I Love Laundry Tour.
	Yes, and the website has now been somewhat expanded, ilovelaundrytour.com, which includes the dates of the meetups.
	It's a great looking site.
	Angela has done a fantastic job.
	And I think her husband is a video editor, and he put together this dynamite video, like a promo video that's top notch.
	Let me see if they put it on the website.
	What do you mean, oh brother?
	Have you seen the website?
	I'm looking now.
	She said she was putting up, maybe it's going up in a few minutes.
	What, the website?
	No, the video.
	Oh, the video is like a promo reel, just awesome.
	It looks professional, like we're a real outfit or something.
	We are a real outfit.
	Yeah, I know, but now it looks like we have...
	Now it looks like it too.
	Yeah, we have a staff of hundreds.
	I'm not getting there, it's just...
	ILoveLaundryTour.com?
	Oh, I Laundry Tour.
	Yeah, it's I Love Laundry Tour.
	Yeah, yeah.
	No, that's not.
	So, actually, I'm very excited about going on the tour, because I'll have hours and hours to think.
	Don't blow your little mind.
	So, like, yeah, thank you.
	Hey, nice way to put me down, John.
	Blow my little mind.
	This is nice.
	You know, like many of the, or like probably most uneducated morons in the United States of Gitmo Nation, I thought that Antebellum was just, you know, part of a country band's name.
	You know, Lady Antebellum.
	Until I started, you know, I started down a journey, a rabbit hole of such.
	And antebellum is the, I think it's used particularly in relation to the Civil War of the United States, was the period leading up to the actual Civil War.
	That's called the antebellum period.
	Am I correct in that?
	I don't know.
	Are you?
	I think so.
	Had you ever heard of antebellum?
	Yeah, you have to have heard of it if you studied the Civil War ever.
	Well, there you go.
	So, have you studied the Civil War ever?
	Yeah.
	Antebellum period in American history is generally considered the period before the Civil War.
	I guess it is.
	So, this is Antebellum 2.0, and allow me to explain.
	This kid, Ahmed, with the clock that he was arrested and handcuffed and detained because it looked like a bomb.
	It didn't look anything like a bomb.
	Did you see this thing?
	Yeah, of course I saw it.
	And also the school was not shut down.
	Kids were not told to evacuate, cower in place, etc.
	The kid's father has run for president of Sudan several times.
	He was involved in the case against the preacher who wanted to burn the Quran.
	So there's a lot of ancillary things that you could look at, but it's really more of a distraction.
	What bothered me is the president immediately comes out after this takes place and doesn't say, this is an outrage.
	We're not supposed to be jailing 14-year-old kids who look nerdy and have a science project.
	Not an engineering teacher.
	I don't think they have an engineering class, per se, at that school.
	A robotics class, not an engineering class.
	Rare in high school.
	Yeah, but his English teacher apparently said, oh, this is a bomb, and then alerted the authorities.
	I think you're making the point.
	Go on, keep talking.
	Well, so my point is, instead of the president saying this is not rage, he throws it all down to, you know, without even saying it, well done, you know, this is racism.
	And as part of my beat on the show, I... You know, the English teacher or whoever it was that turned the kid in should have been called out and humiliated publicly.
	Yes.
	That's really the way to resolve these things.
	But that's not what happened.
	As part of my beat on the show, I tracked the face page.
	And it really sent me into...
	I think I do have a slight onset of clinical depression after yesterday's walking of the beat.
	Oh!
	Yes, yes, yes.
	So there were a number of colleagues of mine who used to work for my companies in New York, programmers, developers, good guys, you know, a little younger than I, maybe 10 years younger.
	Developers, developers, developers, developers.
	And, you know, they were posting things like, well, this is it, you know, racist a-holes in Texas.
	Because, you know, if the kid's name wasn't Ahmed, this wouldn't have happened.
	So I post and I say, well, you know, first of all, we're not all racist a-holes in Texas.
	And what comes back is, oh yeah, well, they're in charge.
	Okay.
	What?
	Yeah, they're in charge.
	The racist, the bigoted a-holes are in charge of Texas.
	I'll never come to visit Texas or any business in Texas.
	I'm like, come on, you guys know me.
	I've been here for four years.
	Not everybody in Texas is a bigoted, racist a-hole.
	And they're like, well, you're not a born and bred Texan.
	Oh, okay.
	I got it.
	So I wasn't born with the racism in me.
	I got it.
	Even though I was born in Virginia, technically.
	So maybe I do have the DNA. I think Virginia would be worse.
	Yeah, you'd think.
	And then the professor, you remember the brain professor, I should stay away from him, but I couldn't help it.
	You two should get a room.
	No, this is important.
	This is a Stanford professor.
	Yes.
	Big shot.
	Yeah, big shot.
	And his wife chimes in, and she says literally, you know, this is racist Texas.
	If this kid's name was, what was the example, like Terry or something, this wouldn't have happened.
	I said, well, you know, maybe...
	Wait, hold on a second.
	This is the woman that was just living in Texas.
	Yes, and her husband was born in East Texas.
	He's an East Texan.
	Anyway, where the duck guys are from.
	Anyway, so I said, you know, I'm pretty sure that even if this kid's name was less Muslim sounding, but if he was wearing, I don't know, a trench coat and dressed like a goth, he'd probably be detained.
	And then her response is, he would not have been put in handcuffs.
	I know it for sure.
	I said, well, I don't think so.
	But anyway, I'm disappointed.
	The president, do you think that he would have invited the goth trench coat kid to the science fair?
	Of course he would!
	He's not a racist!
	This is how it just keeps on going.
	And that this was turned into a political statement so quickly, regardless of how it started or what happened to this kid.
	It's not even that important.
	But it sparked this...
	This is truly, John, a North versus South thing that I believe we are going to see civil war in the United States.
	Now, it's not going to be, you know, muskets and guns and everything.
	Well, here's what will happen.
	You'll have the North, you know, they'll try and attack us with their cyber.
	And, you know, we'll be ready with our AR-15s and our trucks, you know, and our ham radios.
	That's about all we got down here.
	Yeah, you got nothing else down there.
	Guys are living in mud huts.
	But of course, once we take out their cyber capabilities, because we've got skills down here, then they'll be real hungry up there.
	But what is it?
	If people don't study history, if they don't learn from history, they're bound to repeat it.
	Even Biden said something.
	Hold on.
	He was talking about Trump, and it's just in relation to terminology, not necessarily the timeline.
	I don't want anybody to be down right now.
	about what's going on in the Republican Party.
	I mean this sincerely now.
	I'm being deadly earnest about this.
	I want you to remember, notwithstanding the fact that there's one guy absolutely denigrating an entire group of people, appealing to the baser side of human nature, working on this notion of xenophobia in a way that hasn't occurred in a long time since the Know-Nothing Party back at the end of the 19th century.
	Folks, the American people are with us.
	I know it doesn't feel that way.
	But I'm telling you, I'm telling you, the American people agree with us.
	This will pass.
	The Trump and that stuff you're hearing on the other team, and not just, you know, this isn't about Democrat, Republican.
	It's about a sick message.
	This message has been tried on America many times before.
	We always, always, always, always, always overcome it.
	So he evokes the Know-Nothing Party.
	So now we're really going back in the timeline of the Civil War, the lead-up to the Civil War, the Civil War itself.
	And although it's, you know, it's often touted as, you know, this is, it was all about slavery.
	Yeah, of course, in a way, it was about slavery.
	Let's remember that the first slaves were dropped off on U.S. shores in the South in 1690 by the Dutch, who were just, they were the guys getting them and bringing them over.
	And, you know, the settlers in America were like, whatever, bring them in.
	We're driving towards this...
	Okay, so the history, the way I understand it, it was, yes, about slaves and race, but the real political move was counting slaves as constituents and political power.
	And that was really what a lot of the argument was about.
	Meanwhile, while the North was abolishing slavery, they still had the blackface.
	They were making fun of black people.
	Racism was still rampant.
	But now it's just a repeat, John.
	I see your repeat.
	You guys are racist a-holes.
	You suck.
	You know, there's going to be all kinds of laws.
	And then the South has a, you know, has an opportunity to secede, which, you know, which has been threatened for decades.
	But the anger between citizens of the same country, we're being torn apart.
	Can I interject something?
	Yeah, I need your help.
	I cheer you up.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	This has been a continuum.
	I don't know whether people want to accept that or not, but this has been going.
	I like to watch the book TV guys on C-SPAN. C-SPAN 3, yeah.
	They have a lot of...
	There's one guy came up with a history of race riots, and these race riots have been going.
	It's like the first one you think they were maybe in Detroit or in the 60s, but no, they were in the 20s.
	They were in the 1910s.
	They were in the 1880s.
	There were these race riots.
	The Ferguson-style riots.
	Mm-hmm.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yep.
	1860 and 1870 and 1880 and 1890, they were happening.
	And 1900, they were happening.
	They were happening and happening and happening.
	They were happening and they're happening and they're happening now.
	And everything that you're saying has not really not happened.
	Okay.
	Valid point.
	Only now we have social media happening.
	Well, you know, the way to deal with that is to just stay off social media.
	No, I understand, but this is not going to happen.
	Before I tell you why that's not going to happen, listen to Bernie Sanders and try and explain this to me.
	To the issue of racism in our country.
	This was a, what, 20,000 people stadium question and answer session that Bernie was at.
	Liberty University, I think.
	We both want to see that go away.
	What steps would you begin to take if you were our leader in seeing that result?
	Now, notice he says, the question is, what steps would you take to make that go away?
	Which, of course, he won't answer.
	That is an excellent question.
	I thank you for it.
	I would hope and I believe that every person in this room today understands that it is unacceptable to judge people, to discriminate against people based on the color of their skin.
	Yes.
	All right, we got that.
	Yeah, burn!
	I feel the burn!
	And I would also say that as a nation, the truth is that a nation which in many ways was created, and I'm sorry to have to say this from way back on, on racist principles.
	That's a fact.
	This nation was created on racist principles?
	How do I, how is that, I don't understand that.
	Yeah, we came over here, the pilgrims in particular, because they wanted a place where they could have a racially divided principle...
	I have no idea.
	It's bullcrap.
	It was a religious freedom thing at the beginning, and then it became a commerce thing.
	And the race...
	That issue became a part of the commerce, because it was debatable whether or not black slaves were property and all the rest of it.
	And by freeing the slaves, by the way, that was the way to lower the...
	What would you call it?
	Net worth of everybody in the South that had slaves.
	There was only a third of the Southerners, by the way, that had slaves.
	And they also used black slaves as a mechanism for votes.
	I think every three slaves was one vote.
	Right, right, which is what I said.
	That's really what the whole issue was.
	Yeah, it was about how you count the slaves.
	Racial principles is why the nation was founded?
	That's the problem.
	This guy is just a crank.
	He's called a crank.
	I'm a long way as a nation.
	Now I know, my guess is that probably not everybody here is an admirer or a voter for Barack Obama.
	But the point is that in 2008, this country took a huge step forward, David, in voting for a candidate based on his ideas and not the color of his skin.
	How does that work when 90% of all the blacks voted for Barack Obama?
	Weren't they voting for him based on the color of his skin?
	I'm going to say that it was absolutely, partially at least, based on the color of his skin, and we all felt good about it.
	I'm not saying that's a bad thing.
	It was moral self-licensing to the extreme.
	John McCain is president.
	So I'm concerned.
	I'm really concerned about how this is being ratcheted up.
	And now, let me take it right into why I think social media is not going away.
	As of two days ago, we have the ad block apocalypse, or whatever they're calling it.
	Are you going to...
	Wait, hold on a second.
	Stop the show.
	Oh, geez.
	Okay, hold on.
	Stop the show.
	Show stop.
	Show stop.
	Are you going to make the outrageous...
	Prediction that social media is not going away?
	Yeah, this is an outrageous prediction, but I'd like to explain why.
	Apple is complicit in this.
	So Apple now allows ad-blocking software in the App Store, which works.
	And big articles everywhere about how it's all, you know, the free web, the free web is going to eventually become ad-free because everyone will be using ad-blockers, which I believe to be true, this will happen.
	Let me finish.
	Yes.
	The free web is so unusable almost, certainly on mobile, where even if you touch your screen to scroll, it opens up the App Store.
	There's all kinds of crazy...
	It's almost unusable.
	Yeah.
	And Facebook has now presented to all publishing organizations the opportunity to have their special quick ad unit, which is really nothing more than it's all embedded in FaceTime, a face page, and none of it will be blocked by any ad blockers unless you block all and none of it will be blocked by any ad blockers unless It's really moving.
	Everything's going to move towards these closed systems.
	And that way, then people will, they're all, they're all in.
	This is the internet.
	And it's going to take a long time before that goes away, before the pendulum swings back to distributed systems instead of these completely aggregated systems.
	And yes, there's no value anymore.
	There's no value for publishers.
	There's no money in it.
	They really can't make any money.
	It has to go to either a closed ecosystem like Facebook and witness how difficult it is for other closed systems.
	Twitter can't make a dime.
	They're losing their shirt.
	So there's only going to be one player and everyone's going to be there.
	Now, the open web will be around and it'll just be a place with no money flowing through it.
	Do you disagree with that?
	Well, this is not a new phenomenon.
	When the internet first appeared, and actually the browsers were out there, and a plenty, and you could pretty much do anything you wanted to do on the internet...
	The early days of that was dominated by AOL. Yep.
	And people had the...
	I remember when I was at CNET and Kevin Wendell was saying, I don't understand why everybody uses AOL. Because you can do anything you want on the internet.
	It's free.
	Because AOL is a monthly fee.
	Yeah.
	And there were lots of people that were completely, you know, focused on AOL and keywords.
	And by the way, the keyword for the No Agenda show is no agenda.
	So the key, and in hindsight, I don't even know why AOL failed.
	Because if they had switched to a free model and just become Facebook, we would never have had Facebook.
	But somewhere along the line, I think is when they decided to merge with Time Warner or buy them, which was kind of a weird reverse merger because Time Warner ended up running the place.
	Well, that was the strategy, was to have all the content all in one place.
	And once that giant merger took place and they lost focus and became a regular brick-and-mortar company for all practical purposes, they lost their way and they more or less went out of business.
	They're still around, of course, as a website.
	But...
	So this is not a new phenomenon that people prefer being in an enclosure in a monastery.
	I'm not saying it's new.
	I'm just saying I'm seeing the writing on the wall that the money is going to leave the free web.
	And my God, John, all...
	When you say the free web, you should maybe use a different term because it makes it sound as though there's no advertising and there's nothing that costs money on the web.
	What is the term you would prefer?
	I don't know.
	Okay.
	The non-keyword web.
	The open web.
	The open web, okay.
	So ad blocking will make a difference.
	I like ad blocking.
	I've been using it for years.
	Me too.
	And now that it's coming to the mobile platforms, the money is going to be made elsewhere.
	When we first started, we didn't have dynamic websites.
	Now we have an unlimited inventory.
	And the pricing of ads is based on supply and demand.
	It's different when you have a linear programming entity.
	Where there's only so many units available, that's when you can have the price go up.
	Not on unlimited inventory.
	Anyway, all I'm saying is, we are headed towards a new civil war.
	And it's maybe not 10 years.
	Yes, yes.
	How do you jump from the open web to a new civil war?
	Because I'm seeing the millennials, I'm seeing people who I admire, respect, and have worked with for many years, all in on the South and a bunch of racist assholes.
	That's what it is.
	And it's being propagated over and over and over again.
	And even I'm being affected by it now.
	I'm sitting here going, I'm not a racist asshole.
	I'm not a bigot.
	Yet I'm being called that consistently by people who know me better.
	That's because you're in Texas.
	Yes, exactly.
	Home of the bigots.
	Okay, well, you know, you may not care, but I do.
	I don't care.
	You're right.
	And there we have it, ladies and gentlemen.
	All right.
	The poor Southerners.
	Oh, everybody's against them.
	But you've become one.
	No, I think I'm objective.
	You're not objective.
	I grew up in Amsterdam.
	We were way in on everybody's okay, everybody's the same, LGBTQ, IIAP, everything, which has now actually been turned back a bit, or even more than just a bit, significantly.
	It happens.
	It's a pendulum.
	Yeah.
	Well, once you get out of that horrible state of Texas where everybody's a racist, once you get out of there in the trailer, and of course you would be escaping Texas in a trailer because that makes nothing but sense, if you weren't just in some sort of an RV or something with a bunch of stickers all over it with maybe, are you going to put a Confederate flag on the trailer?
	No.
	No!
	No, I'm not going to put any flag on the trailer.
	So off you go.
	The ISIS flag, maybe, but that would be it.
	Yeah, that'll do it.
	And yeah, there's a couple of things you can put on there that would be kind of annoying.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	I think it's fine that you feel this way, but I think it's nonsense.
	You think it's nonsense.
	You do not...
	Well, you're not on the face page.
	You don't see what's going on.
	You don't see intelligent, otherwise intelligent people saying outrageous things.
	Well, I do know one thing from what you said and from my observation in general about social media.
	It's a way that people blow off steam so they don't actually get into a civil war.
	Well, whenever I... Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.
	I'm this, I'm that.
	You're a racist.
	I'm not.
	True, true, true.
	I totally give you that.
	And it is all moral self-licensing.
	And what I'm not doing, instead of invoking the...
	Of course, the Hitler meme is invoked all the time.
	You're like Hitler.
	Godwin's Law.
	I always end any post with, don't forget to change your icon.
	Yeah.
	Because that's what it's all going to be.
	Because you don't want to incite anything.
	You don't want to ridicule these boneheads.
	No.
	Just keep the fight going.
	Yeah.
	I'm checking out.
	Well, it's just what you should do.
	Yes, you should check out.
	Well, what's next is going to be, how's your mental hygiene?
	This is another term.
	You might write it down.
	Write it down.
	Mental hygiene laws.
	They're coming.
	Oh, you know, I found one the other day that was going on.
	I got to come up with it.
	I got to figure out what it was.
	I have, this is the, what is it, this is New York State has mental hygiene law.
	They have an admission process for mental hygiene.
	And the term by itself is fantastic.
	Well, it implies, in some deep sense, brainwashing.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah, to clean it.
	Because washing is hygiene.
	Yep, to clean, to clean your brain.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	So you can be admitted to a voluntary admission for mental hygiene.
	There's informal, which is a person who has a mental illness for which care and treatment in a mental hospital is appropriate for The patient makes an oral request.
	But then you have involuntary, of course, where any of 11 parties may make an application.
	And this is a staff psychiatrist of any hospital.
	And you can be admitted for up to 60 days in New York State for your mental hygiene.
	And this is a pretty Orwellian term.
	And I like what you say about, yeah, of course, it's brainwashing.
	If you have clean mental hygiene, it's been washed.
	Right on.
	You watch.
	That's what I'm, yes, I'm somewhat depressed about this.
	All you've done with this little exposition right here is prove a point you made earlier, like years earlier.
	Facebook is unhealthy.
	Yes, it is.
	And I would get off of Facebook if it were not my beat.
	I really would.
	It's not healthy.
	So, my point remains valid.
	And with the unhealthy face page, with all the so-called news and information, you know, mainly, I don't know, Hollywood entertainment stuff, it's all going to be on the face page.
	And that's where everybody will be, and they will all be extremely unhealthy.
	I hope you're right that the social media realm, where everyone has this moral self-licensing, they spew it out there and they're done with it, they're okay.
	But, you know, these things do cross over into the real world at a certain point.
	Well, they sure crossed over to the Miss America passion, which I want to talk about later.
	Ah, yes.
	And I was almost upset.
	I thought you had missed it somehow.
	When was it?
	It was last Sunday.
	Okay, that's why.
	After the show.
	After the show.
	Okay, gotcha.
	Because, you know, that is your beat.
	Somewhere in between then and then.
	I know.
	The funny thing was, is when I'm...
	I recorded it so I could analyze.
	I'm doing it differently than I used to, because this is a much better way of doing it, which is find out who won, track her through this competition with it in mind, instead of playing the stupid game, and then taking the snippets out that are necessary, and there's not that many.
	So the thing is three hours or so, and you can really...
	Produced a segment that I did in about a half an hour because you're plowing through it.
	Do not watch any of these things in real time.
	This is unhealthy.
	It's just not good.
	And then you can also get a better feeling for the ebb and flow and the bull crap and all the rest of it.
	Well, let's start with some important news, which was not the debate from last night.
	I'd like to skip that for a moment, if you don't mind.
	The so-called migrant situation in the EU, which is really becoming a worldwide issue.
	And I had dinner...
	Top news story, cross the board on the three networks.
	Yeah, three networks, three weeks.
	And we're extending that, I think.
	Beyond three weeks.
	I'm getting a lot out of it, so you'd be surprised.
	You wouldn't think so.
	It looks pretty shallow, but you actually get a lot...
	Watching all three of the network broadcasts, day after day, you can really feel the difference between the networks and what they're up to.
	What they're up to.
	Well, you may recall...
	So there's a couple things.
	First, I had dinner with my friend Mark, former lawyer turned documentarian.
	He has a documentary coming out.
	I think in November it's going to the festival.
	It's called Killer Ed.
	And it's about charter schools.
	But...
	I think that's kind of a Trojan horse to propagate the true message, which is about Gulen, who runs 150 charter schools in Texas alone, the Harmony Schools.
	And if you recall a couple years ago when I first started talking with him, particularly about Turkey, he's helped a lot in us, and certainly me understanding what's going on in Turkey.
	He said that Gulen, this is the imam who lives up on the hill there, placed by the CIA, the guy who was supposed to, we think, maybe replace Erdogan or whatever.
	He has not done that.
	But he said the first country in Europe to go for the caliphate expanding, and this is without doubt a mission, would be Germany.
	And we both went like, what?
	But now look at what's happening with the migrants.
	It looks like Germany will indeed be first.
	We'll see.
	Well, they're going to have all of these.
	The Germans are convinced that they can turn all these guys into Germans.
	Well, that's why they're closing the border.
	They are trying to slow it down.
	And, of course, there's a lot of right-wing crazy nutjobs running around.
	And Facebook has now said, oh, no worries, we'll help you, Germany.
	We'll remove anything that is anti-migrants.
	We'll remove any of that for you, no problem.
	I just love that.
	But I really took the time to figure out if my main thesis, that this being about the removal of Assad, if we can find any proof of this, and there's a lot of evidence pointing towards it, but more importantly, I look towards my favorite group whenever it comes to big moves, big issues, the International Crisis Group.
	And this is one of our favorites.
	Everybody's in on the international crisis group.
	All the big elitists are in.
	And they have this report.
	The crisis...
	What is it?
	Some weird name of the report.
	Anyway, with input from the...
	What is that thing that all the...
	The Council on Foreign Relations...
	And they, in July 2014, issued a special issue of the Third World Quarterly, where they bring all this information together from all of their members.
	And here's what they said.
	This is a year ago.
	The current wavelet, at the time was very small, of refugees arriving in Europe, a very small number compared to throngs scratching out a bear living in Syria's immediate neighborhood, suggests how close to full capacity Syria's neighbors are, absent of further major new injection of funds.
	If we can't stop the war for now, let's at least do what we can.
	One, find ways to make life moderately bearable for these people and the safety of their countries of first refuge, which is Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey.
	We think the refugee crisis might offer the opportunity for the U.S. in particular to create a zone free of aerial attacks.
	That's also known as a no-fly zone.
	Which of course we now have.
	So what we're left with as we continue attempts to feel out stakeholders' evolving positions, hoping for a diplomatic breakthrough, is a three-pronged approach to the refugee crisis.
	Pursue ways to lower the levels of violence in Syria, which of course is, you know, don't drop bombs, etc.
	Pour vastly more funds into efforts to help the displaced in Syria.
	And address the problem of desperate on-migration by accommodating refugees as they arrive in Europe, the Gulf, and elsewhere.
	There was some concerted plan for this, John.
	And an extra benefit is we totally rip apart the EU at the core of the 30-year-old Schengen agreement.
	Everyone's closing their borders.
	You can't be a union if you have to have a passport.
	You know, I'm going to go up to Oklahoma.
	Sorry, I need a passport.
	This is big.
	I think this is so much bigger than we actually maybe even can understand at this moment.
	This is a really big deal that's going on.
	And yes, it's completely to get rid of Assad.
	I have, let me see, a couple of proofs.
	Let's see my, where's my favorite guy?
	Who's the new guy who's on the, who took over from all those A-holes?
	Well, that's a generality.
	Yeah, I know.
	I know.
	Just about anything.
	Yeah, I know.
	There's the new guy.
	The guy on the homeland.
	Here, here's his name.
	So let's bring in Congressman Michael McCaul, the chairman.
	There you go.
	Michael McCaul, the chairman.
	Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee.
	Good morning, Chairman McCaul.
	I want to ask you right away.
	You have talked about...
	Now listen to the change in her voice.
	So she's here.
	She's...
	About Chairman Michael McCaul.
	And then listen to the change in her voice as she talks about the refugees or the migrants.
	So let's bring in Congressman Michael McCaul, the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee.
	Good morning, Chairman McCaul.
	I want to ask you right away.
	You have talked about the national security threat.
	How do you balance these urgent humanitarian needs?
	Did you hear that?
	Yeah.
	How do you balance?
	And by the way, it's this woman.
	She's from ABC. I know who she is.
	I've heard her voice.
	I don't know her name.
	But it's all about the children.
	Everything we see is about children, children, dead children, children washed up on the shore, dead, drowning children, children.
	When you see the reports on the networks, they focus on especially little girls.
	They find some little girl, and it's usually around a six to eight year old, because they're the cutest things.
	And so then they're just like so sad.
	Especially when they float.
	They're so cute when they float.
	And they're just, and they're so sad, and they're crying, and they want their daddy, and they're holding on to the legs.
	They're holding on a lot of shots of this.
	The little girl who's just fearful, and she's holding on to some, one of her parents' legs.
	Yeah.
	So, her move, her shift, oh, what is it really?
	It's all about.
	We have talked about the national security threat.
	How do you balance these urgent humanitarian needs with national security?
	Oh, yes.
	How do we balance this?
	Well, it's tragic.
	It's a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions.
	I believe the result of a failed foreign policy in Syria.
	The inability to remove Assad from power.
	There we go.
	I could play more if you want, but it seems pretty clear.
	Sounds like the theme.
	Huh?
	Yeah, so the theme is.
	Listen to the rest of it.
	It's a little interesting.
	So the rise of ISIS. That's why these refugees are fleeing.
	And until we address the root cause of the problem there, we're going to continue to have a refugee crisis globally.
	And I think...
	I don't understand.
	I thought it was climate change.
	It was climate change two weeks ago.
	Now it's Assad?
	It's very confusing.
	General Allen talked about that we need to deal with that problem first and foremost to resolve this issue.
	From a national security standpoint, I take ISIS at its word when they said, in their own words, that we'll use and exploit the refugee crisis to infiltrate the West.
	That concerns me.
	Well, let's talk about what we do.
	I know the Department of Homeland Security in the past few years has worked with the intelligence community to improve vetting using classified material.
	But do we have enough people to do that?
	Do we have enough in place?
	Do we even have the intelligence on Syrians?
	We don't, and that's a problem.
	You know, look, if I could be assured these people could be vetted properly, I would be supportive.
	The problem is, I had the FBI testify before my committee.
	I've had Homeland Security officials and the Intelligence Committee who all say to me that we don't have the systems in place on the ground in Syria to properly vet these individuals.
	We don't know who they are.
	A tent, yeah, the registration tent.
	What are you talking about?
	Yeah, and just with A to D, E to I, you know, so everyone can find their names.
	You know, instead of the NSA spying on the American public like they've been doing, they should have been setting up shop in Syria like 20 years ago and started spying on them so they know every single Syrian, who they are, what they do, and what their background is.
	That's what they should have been doing.
	Yeah, but this, of course, is a problem because...
	Because...
	We don't know who any of these people are.
	No, it's a problem because of Putin.
	He was a big, big point of contention on the debates.
	I visited one of these camps in Jordan.
	The Minister of Security told me he doesn't know who these people are.
	But when I hear the DNI, Mr.
	Clapper, expressed concerns and the FBI and Homeland Privately as well, saying that we don't have the intelligence on the ground to vet these persons properly, that to me, my first and foremost job is to protect the American people.
	If they had ID, like a passport or something, they'd buy an airplane ticket for the money they're spending.
	Well, well, well, now there was, I saw, it's in the show notes, I didn't clip it.
	Let me stop just one second.
	I just want to throw this out.
	Some of these people are paying $1,000, $2,000, $5,000 being smuggled out.
	Why don't they buy an airplane ticket?
	I will explain to you why.
	Thank you.
	There's a Swedish professor who's in the show notes.
	It's not clippable because it's like the Swedish chef, only not funny.
	Yeah, so they pay €1,000 per person to get on a crappy-ass boat and float across and potentially die, where you can get on an airplane from many of these countries...
	For 350, 400 euros, you could make the same trip.
	Why is that not happening?
	Because the security apparatus in the EU has tasked the airlines with the responsibility of not allowing anyone to fly who does not have proper paperwork, which is from a European Parliament directive, despite the Geneva Convention stating that anyone who wants refugee status or asylum has to be allowed in.
	So they are purposely, purposely making these people take this horrible journey, this trek, and potentially die.
	It is an EU, yeah, and it's from an EU parliament directive.
	But of course they could fly, and they have the money.
	Yeah, they have the money.
	So they could be flying, but they won't let them fly, they want them to die.
	Yes.
	Don't walk.
	Yes.
	That's correct.
	You can walk.
	That's correct.
	You'd think the airlines would be irked about this.
	This could keep them at full capacity, making a lot of profit for the shareholders, I might add, if they were allowed to fly.
	Well, you understand.
	I think it could jack up the price a little bit.
	That is because the EU inherently are bigoted a-holes.
	Not the people, of course.
	But the system that has been built there.
	And the arrogant jerk-offs that keep coming on these different shows that are just, they just seem like, you know, they get the very expensive, like, European-style glasses that are, like, you can just look at them and go, those frames cost a grand.
	And they've got the natty Italian suit and the coiffed hair, the very short cut crop, and they talk with kind of an impenetrable accent.
	You don't know if it's German, if it's Dutch, if it's French.
	You can't tell.
	It's like some sort of an EU accent that evolves around the guys who are these ministers who come on a lot of these shows and try to explain what's going on.
	Here's what they have factually done.
	The European Union, that would be the Starfleet Command, has approved military action against human traffickers, because of course it's the human traffickers, there's not any other reason, in the Mediterranean Sea.
	Jean-France Press reported, citing sources, the authorities plan to seize and destroy vessels to break up networks operating out of war-torn Libya.
	In June, the European Union launched, listen to this, the European Union Naval Force Mediterranean, Wasn't there never supposed to be an EU army?
	It's a navy.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I'm so silly.
	Yes.
	And they are tasked to undertake systematic efforts to identify, capture, and dispose of vessels and enabling assets used or suspect of being used by migrant smugglers or traffickers.
	And they're also just going to be blowing these people out of the water, I presume.
	Go away.
	We don't want you.
	We don't care.
	We have no compassion.
	And we're screwed.
	Well, if they don't, if they are, if they would just let them fly, here's what, there was a report on one of the networks, and it wasn't, no matter which one, and they had some British, there's a boat, apparently a lot of Brits, and I can see why, because I've been there, and it's like a fantastic place to shop.
	Turkey.
	Turkey.
	It's a great, it's a dynamite.
	It's dynamite.
	Dynamite.
	It's a dynamite place.
	Especially on a rug.
	Yeah.
	But anyway, so these Brits, I guess, take these tours, these boat tours, and there's this British woman, oh, it's so terrible.
	She's at some dock getting on her boat to leave, and there's like a little group of them over there, you know, the Brits that are going to get on this boat, which is, I don't know, it had to be a cheap ride or they wouldn't have taken the trip because you lose money on the, you know, what do you buy?
	You lose money on all the overhead to get the money or to get the product.
	Mm-hmm.
	And I'm thinking, and then there's a bunch of guys trying to beg to get on this phony boat, some old tramp steamer.
	These people are lined up to get on, and they're paying like $1,000 to do it.
	And these women are just, oh, that's just so terrible.
	It's so terrible that I feel so sad for them.
	And then they get on their cocktail-laden boat, and off they go.
	And that's what I'm thinking.
	Again...
	These guys have got the money.
	There's a boat that's going straight to the UK somehow.
	I don't know how long that takes, but a bunch of old Souses are going to be on it.
	And it's probably cheaper, but they can't get on that boat.
	This is ridiculous.
	And that is by EU directive.
	That's by parliamentary directive.
	That's a huge fine.
	Somebody should be bitching about that more.
	Let me finish up the report from this a-hole, because he brings in the Pope, which is always fun.
	We have to deal with this crisis.
	But, you know, this could be a very reckless and dangerous policy.
	And Chairman McCauliffe, you would quickly.
	We, of course, have the Pope coming soon.
	There's always concern about lone wolf attacks.
	I think someone was arrested this week in Florida, a suspect, a sympathizer with ISIS. She's referring to the Jew kid.
	Pretending to be an Arab jihadist.
	Please, really?
	You're now using that?
	I think it's Martha Radich.
	Is that her name?
	From ABC? Yeah, that's who this is.
	Secure about the Pope coming into America?
	I'm concerned.
	I was briefed by the Secret Service in a classified setting.
	The Pope is a very...
	I'm Catholic, by the way.
	He's a very passionate man.
	Classified setting for a briefing on the Popes.
	Well, yeah, because he got some information.
	...to get out with the people, and with that comes a large security risk.
	We are monitoring very closely threats against the Pope as he comes into the United States.
	We have disrupted one particular case in particular, but as that date approaches, I think we're all being very vigilant.
	Bullshit!
	Oh, we already thwarted one, but we're not telling you exactly what it was.
	We tell everybody about everything we do, but not that one.
	We can't tell you about that one.
	We brag about every little guy, every sucker.
	But not that one.
	Not that one, no.
	That was a secret.
	Because it doesn't exist.
	All right, now let's talk briefly in the State Department.
	Spokeshole Kirby is back.
	We have the Russian reporter...
	It's entertaining again.
	Thank you for coming back, Spokeshole Kirby.
	He is the reason that ISIS... Talking about Assad, of course.
	And remember I mentioned that he was not saying ISIL or ISIS. He's now saying ISIL. He continues on that theme.
	There's a reason for it.
	We haven't figured it out yet.
	He is the reason.
	That ISIL has been allowed, and not just ISIL, but other extremist groups have been allowed to fester and grow and sustain themselves inside Syria.
	The assertion that you are making that he is the reason for ISIL is also disputed.
	Many people in my part of the world believe that the reason for the ISIL existence is the policy of regime change that is pursued by the US and the American allies.
	What is your response to that?
	I'm not going to dignify that with an answer.
	Next question.
	Shut up, Slam!
	He's not going to dignify.
	It's a great question.
	No, it's not a great question.
	It's an outstanding question.
	No, I'm not going to dignify that with an answer.
	Next question, please.
	Shut up.
	Wow, that's rude.
	Yeah, I'd say.
	That's totally rude.
	The guy should be ashamed of himself.
	And, you know, this guy is vetted.
	I mean, he's a part of the press corps.
	You don't just walk off the street and get to ask questions of Mr.
	Kirby, Admiral Kirby.
	Then the Washington Post, there was a poll.
	And the headline is, one in five Syrians say Islamic State is a good thing.
	And it's always what's not mentioned in the headline or in the article.
	A recent survey of 1,365 Syrians from all four governments of the country found some surprising attitudes.
	Consider this.
	A fifth of those interviewed said the Islamic State, the brutal Islamist group known for its beheadings, that rules over large swaths of Syria and Iraq is a positive influence on the country.
	When you look at the answers and the questions, what is not really mentioned in the article, in fact, not at all, is that 82% believe ISIS is a US-made group.
	And it's right there on the page!
	So, to say, oh, there's a 22% amount of people in Syria who think ISIS is a positive influence, who gives a crap?
	82 believe that they were made up by the U.S. Not reported.
	Just in the graphic.
	This is an information war of epic proportion.
	Yeah, it's a good one, but the American public's getting only half the story.
	Well, of course.
	Well, of course.
	Why would we not?
	Are you crazy?
	We can't have the whole story.
	Why would we give them the whole story?
	They're too stupid to understand.
	They're too dumb.
	They may make the wrong conclusions.
	They might vote for Rand Paul.
	Yeah, right.
	I was the, what was it, the chief?
	What's it, the CENTCOM chief.
	His name is Austin, General Austin.
	Now, it was really long, and I tried to get this one quote.
	It was two hours, and there was no transcript, so I couldn't get it.
	But he made a mistake while testifying.
	And he was mainly testifying about the intelligence reports being doctored.
	Which I have a theory about.
	But he made a boo-boo, and he let slip that U.S. Special Forces are in northern Syria.
	And we knew there was five people there fighting for.
	Right, but what then had to happen is I think the Pentagon issued a retraction saying he didn't really mean that.
	That just was confirmation that it meant it.
	Well, of course.
	Of course, now I can't find exactly where I had that article, but I have the actual State Department or the Department of Defense.
	Well, I do have one thing related to this as a clip.
	Good.
	Because we were asking and wondering who, you know, it was actually on NewsHour that, I forgot his name, asked this question of one of the experts on the area, and they were discussing this, the questions about the grousing intel agencies, the clip.
	This is the question that we were asking, who are these?
	Because the implication is they're CIA, but they're not.
	No.
	I think we guessed it correctly, but here's the little back and forth.
	The whole Central Command area, but very specifically about this war and how it's going.
	Well, Colonel Harvey, help us understand a little bit who's who here.
	These intelligence officers raising concerns, who do they work for?
	What's supposed to happen with their reports?
	Well, this is a very interesting command, and it's comprised of very professional, very capable defense intelligence agency analysts, contractors, and military personnel.
	And they are some of the best and brightest intelligence analysts that this country has, particularly on the problem of terrorism in the Middle East, the Islamic State, and the challenges with Iran.
	They're extremely professional, and that's why this is very interesting, because you have very professional intelligence People making allegations about the attempts to thwart their assessments.
	Before you give me your analysis, let me add a little data point to it.
	Here is just 30 seconds of General Lloyd Austin in his opening statement regarding this very issue.
	You know, there's been a lot of speculation in the media about the allegations made to the DODIG, and one in particular I believe should be addressed and corrected for the record.
	Some have expressed concern that CENTCOM intelligence reports are sent directly to the President.
	This is not accurate.
	As the Office of the Director of National Intelligence put out to the media last week, and I quote, none of the combatant commands are permitted to engage directly in the President's daily brief process.
	Rather, reports are produced by the combatant commands and funneled through the DIA to ensure that all substantive deliberations and final contributions are appropriately coordinated, end of quote.
	So there is your interagency war, John, and I think it's for one reason and one reason only.
	The president saying ISIS is a JV team, they have to somehow come up with a way for his legacy or whatever they're worried about to prove that he based that statement on facts from the intelligence community.
	And this guy is pointing towards Clapper.
	Yeah, I think Clapper is the bad actor.
	Of course, he has always been the bad actor.
	McCain jumped all over this Austin guy constantly, especially in that particular back and forth where he said, oh, so all you want is just a rosy picture for the president.
	Okay, I guess that's what he wants.
	He just kind of ridiculed the guy.
	But we now know that they're DIA, not CIA, so they're DIA guys, and they do the same kind of...
	They're analysts, and so they're doing their thing.
	And then they kept citing the same...
	Who we've cited before, the general and his assistants, where the thing filters through and it gets kind of altered a little bit.
	And the reporter from NewsHour specifically asked, why, why, why?
	And all these guys that were there said, we don't really know why.
	Which is, again, an implication that I think your thesis is correct.
	They just want to downplay it as much as they can because...
	I still think that we're behind the whole thing.
	I mean, or at least we triggered it.
	I don't think we're behind a lot of it.
	The rapes and the murders.
	You don't seem to give a crap.
	Collateral damage, my friend.
	Right.
	And we continue to create a lot of it, which goes pretty much unreported, with enhanced drone strikes in Syria, which we are doing, which is killing civilians.
	I'm sorry, you're right.
	Collateral damage.
	Karzai...
	He was interviewed by...
	Everyone loved this.
	We must have had a million people send us this.
	Oh, about Al-Qaeda?
	Yeah.
	You got a clip or I have a...
	I don't have it, no.
	So he's being interviewed by Al Jazeera.
	Now, Karzai is, you know, as far as I know, I thought he was always a shill for Unical, and I thought he was pretty much always in on everything, and maybe he got, you know, shut out, locked out, whatever.
	But here's what he claims in his most recent interview.
	You see, Al-Qaeda was the main reason that the Americans said they were going into Afghanistan and not the Taliban.
	Are you still of the view that Al-Qaeda is more of a myth than a reality, is what you said last year?
	You also said you weren't even sure that they existed.
	Really?
	That's my view today as well.
	That Al-Qaeda is a myth?
	It is for me a myth.
	I have never had a report from any Afghan source on Al-Qaeda or what they were doing.
	We don't see them.
	We cannot visualize them.
	For us, they don't exist.
	I've never had a report from our intelligence.
	I've never had a report from our people.
	And I want to point out that hat that he wears is made from sheep fetus.
	He wasn't wearing the hat.
	No, he wasn't.
	But it's important to know that he wears a hat made of lamb fused.
	I do.
	It's probably a really soft product.
	I'm sure it's delightful.
	It's a great hat.
	I'm sure it's delightful.
	Did they exist in September the 11th?
	On September the 11th, 2001, was Al-Qaeda operating in Afghanistan?
	I have come across the Taliban.
	I've come across other groups.
	I've come across the people calling themselves different names, different outfits.
	What do you think the point of him is of denying this or saying that he's never heard of Al-Qaeda?
	I pointed out when I was back and forth with somebody on this on Twitter.
	Adam Curtis, when he did one of his early movies, the British documentarian...
	Which is some good stuff.
	The Power of Fear, one of the first two movies, when he did the movie about Al-Qaeda, he says the same thing.
	And he documents that these guys never existed.
	The name was made up by the department or by one of the intelligence agencies.
	And he went on and on.
	It was very convincing.
	And I haven't heard anything about it.
	No one's ever disputed his theory.
	And then all of a sudden we have this, which has cracked me up.
	I'm going to play the rest of it, because at the end, I think, is really the beauty part that he has here.
	Of extremists and terrorists, we have reports about them.
	I don't know if al-Qaeda existed, and I don't know if they exist.
	For me, it's a myth.
	I have to feel tangible about it.
	Before I can say they are there.
	Well, reports say they are there, but I have no information per se.
	Your allies in the US government, NATO forces on the ground in Afghanistan, all said that they were there fighting Al-Qaeda fighters.
	When you say it's a myth, you've not seen any evidence, did they call you a conspiracy theorist?
	Some might say you sound like a conspiracy theorist.
	And this is interesting because we've always...
	We maintain that this is, you know, made up by the CIA, probably propagated by Mujahideen, who were armed by, which Hillary Clinton says, oh, we armed them, we did all that.
	That's not, you know, Donald Rumsfeld, who else, all kinds of people out.
	What's the Brzezinski out there giving them, hey, Allah's going to love you guys.
	Take our guns and go shoot them up.
	And that was when the Russians were in there.
	But when we say things like that, we're conspiracy theorists.
	And now here you go.
	Now we are pretty much a-hole guys with lamb fetus on our head.
	Well, if saying that something does not exist does not mean a conspiracy...
	It's my judgment.
	It's my feeling.
	Maybe they are there, but I have not seen them, and I have not had a report about them, any report that would indicate that al-Qaeda is operating in Afghanistan.
	And I've also been in conversation with various American officials.
	The last one that I had was last year, in which they told me that they are not There are perhaps not even more than 30 to 35 individuals.
	So if that's the entire strength of an organization, for me, that's a myth.
	And so right on cue, we have an audio recording release, not a video, but no audio recording.
	Audio recording of al-Zawari.
	In a new audio message released online, Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawari calls on young Muslim men in the West to follow the example of other lone wolf-style attackers, like the Boston Marathon bombers.
	Who were not at all influenced by al-Wazahari waters.
	...and the men behind the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris.
	I call on all Muslims who can harm the countries of the Crusader coalition not to hesitate, he says, referring to countries that make up the Western-led coalition in Iraq and Syria.
	We must now focus, he says, on moving the war to the heart of the homes and cities of the Crusader West, and specifically America.
	It's not clear when the recording was made.
	But because Al-Zawari mentions the late Taliban leader, Mullah Muhammad Omar, whose death was announced in late July, the message could be at least two months old.
	And this is all coming, of course.
	The people who found it online, they are so lucky.
	They're so good.
	The site intelligence group, Rita Katz.
	They're so good, John.
	They're really, really, really good at fun.
	Nobody else can do what they do.
	And it's been recorded two months ago.
	It's just astonishing is the word.
	They're so good.
	I don't know why anyone just can't see that this is a...
	We're just being...
	Duped.
	Duped.
	On a massive scale.
	It's duped.
	You're being duped.
	I know.
	I know.
	Well, with that, John, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C. Dvorak.
	In the morning to you, Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning to all ships that see boots on the ground subs in the water.
	And all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning, everybody in the chat room, noagendastream.com.
	Good to have you all on board.
	We have...
	A principle here.
	We do not accept advertising.
	That's the only way we can stay honest.
	Or on the air.
	Or on the air at all.
	Exactly.
	As we pointed out before, if we were working for, even ourselves, if there was a company involved where there were some suits involved, we'd have been fired.
	Oh, even with this.
	Just talking about lamb fetus, I think, is probably a violation of something.
	Yeah.
	So we rely on the actual producers of the program who help us with information, and we have experts in every field who help us with analysis, and also help us financially.
	We like to highlight our executive producers and associate executive producers, very much like Hollywood does, and it's the only way we can stay on the air, just there's no other agendas at play.
	Exactly.
	No, I picked a piece of art I wanted to credit our guy for on the...
	On the newsletter?
	Yeah, let me...
	I had not seen that one, so I don't know where you got it from.
	It was in the Evergreen's.
	Well, while you're looking for that, I do want to thank our artist for episode 756.
	That was Nick the Rat, Back With a Vengeance, and...
	What was this?
	It was...
	It was pretty much, we went right away and said, okay, we like this one very much.
	It was the Shmita Cycle and the artwork was the No Agenda sandwich in a baggie, which is what the police in riot gear are throwing at the migrants as they're in cages.
	Here, have a sandwich in a bag.
	Welcome to Europe!
	Yeah, well, I can't find it.
	I'll credit him next time.
	Okay.
	But I like the art.
	It was very funny.
	So we do have a few people to thank, though, including we got three executive producers and one associate executive producer, beginning with Sir Roy of Auken.
	Now, see, he's got a title.
	He's a Floridian, and he gave himself some crazy title, and I can't read it.
	Sir Roy of Auken?
	A-U-K-O-N. Auken?
	See what it looks like on this, the way he wrote it.
	But then he's got like a two at the end.
	I don't know.
	I have no idea.
	So Sir Roy, be more legible next time.
	Because I can't remember what this crazy title was.
	The Rubicon series is available from veehd.com.
	You need to remove the child safe filter.
	That was his note.
	Well, Rubicon is an excellent series, outstanding series to watch.
	Yeah, if you like Mr.
	Robot, you'd like Rubicon.
	Oh, yeah.
	Absolutely.
	It's a little more intense, a little...
	Mr.
	Robot's more of a comedy.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	It was more of a comedy, and Mr.
	and the Rubicon's less of a comedy.
	Yeah.
	If you think about it, anyway, so that was $334 from somewhere in Florida.
	Thank you very much.
	From Sir Roy.
	David Lane in Springfield, Missouri, $333.33.
	Another note, there's another check that came in.
	And he says, in the morning, John and Adam, I stopped at a Burger King in the Kansas City area.
	The order number on the receipt showed as 333.
	It's the magic number.
	And he actually sent a scan of it.
	It says, order 333.
	It's pretty good.
	It's a good one.
	I should put it on the newsletter.
	See a test picture.
	I just want to say to both of you, John and Adam, message received.
	Please send some karma to my longtime friends Steve, Chris, and Tammy.
	You got it.
	I'm sorry?
	Well, he also wants to play some jingles.
	Oh, okay.
	What do we have?
	A woman saying she's a rule follower.
	I'm a rule follower.
	There's a rule.
	I follow it.
	Then followed by John C. DeVore clearing his throat to say, bullshit, that is not me.
	That's not you.
	No, it's not you.
	That was actually, that's not Adam either.
	That was, someone sent that in.
	Yep.
	Anything else?
	That's it.
	Okay, I'll do this first.
	33, that's the magic number.
	33, that's the magic number.
	If the rule is that we have to do it, then I'll do it.
	Bullshit!
	You've got karma.
	Russell Hickey, $333 from Nashville, Tennessee.
	And he says...
	Guys, all I can say is thank you for the work you do.
	You have changed the way I digest propaganda.
	When learned sheeple speak about current affairs, I get a good chuckle, thanks to the No Agenda show.
	Job carmers for any, for all and any, any, you can play any Obama no-no.
	Any no-no.
	Which is the way we should...
	This is what these are.
	We have like...
	A million of them.
	Who knows?
	And then it broke.
	Hold on, I gotta give him the jobs karma.
	That broke, sorry.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	There we go.
	That is one of the best of the no-nos, I think.
	I like it a lot.
	Anybody can do the twist yesterday.
	I've heard the name of the song.
	In the morning, gents, this is James Cates, $201 from Virginia Beach, Virginia.
	He is our only associate executive producer for show 757, named after the airplane.
	And also, coincidentally, the 757th show.
	In the morning, gents, cisgender and otherwise, I'm donating my $201 in order to whittle down to my barren peerage and catch up with fucking Thomas Nussbaum, my neighbor.
	Okay.
	A little competition.
	Alright, yeah.
	Something going up there.
	The dude clearly has no kids and therefore disposable income.
	Me, I have college tuition and other distractions that occasionally annoy me.
	But not to worry, gents.
	I have the fix.
	As it is, fuck it.
	I'm just quoting, by the way.
	I know, I know.
	Just be profane for no reason.
	And donate and believe in the karma, bitches.
	Can I get a hot milf for my Lisa and an Obama A-team, please?
	I now have merely $174.28 to donate for my barren-level peerage.
	I will catch that bastard nussball.
	Milf?
	That's one mother I'd like to.
	Seven!
	If there's a need for a rescue mission, when the world is threatened, the world needs help, it calls on America.
	And that's the story.
	You've got karma.
	Nice combo.
	Well, Nussbaum should have something to say about that.
	I bet.
	I'm thinking.
	Mm-hmm.
	That concludes it.
	We do have a show coming up shortly, and on Sunday that will require continued support at Dvorak.org slash NA. Yes, and this show will be coming to you from...
	You'll be on the road.
	I will be in Santa Fe.
	Really?
	Yes.
	Oh, so you're shooting over to Santa Fe and then up?
	Yeah, going from Lubbock to Santa Fe and just looking at the tour schedule on ilovelaundrytour.com and then after the show we'll be doing a Santa Fe meetup.
	Oh, okay.
	Right after the show.
	Yeah, not right after.
	Discuss the topics.
	Rediscuss the topics on the show.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it should be good.
	But also, we get some local flavor.
	We hear what people are saying and what the vibe is out there.
	You know, these are all...
	We've learned it's very...
	Oh, the video is now on the I Love Laundry Tour website.
	Okay.
	The tour promo.
	You should watch it, John.
	You should watch it.
	I'll watch it, but I'm not going to watch it while we're doing this show.
	No, because that would probably ruin something.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Thank you all very much.
	We appreciate our associates and our executive producers.
	This is a big deal to us.
	And we, of course, will be thanking everybody at the $50 level and above.
	Most of the anything under that is usually for anonymity purposes.
	These credits are real.
	If you need anyone to vouch for you, all you do is got to reach out.
	We're happy to do it.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. Always need you to be out there and doing the very important work of propagating our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Amen.
	Fist bumps.
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up, slave!
	I want to talk about this incredibly boring three-hour poop fest known as the debate.
	Yeah, let's talk about the debate.
	We have to.
	What were the ratings?
	I didn't get the overnights yet.
	Why not?
	They're known, aren't they?
	I didn't get them.
	I just didn't get them.
	Let's see.
	22.9 million viewers.
	That's almost as much as the Fox.
	Well, they did the same thing.
	They had a mini-debate with four people.
	I saw that, too, which I fell asleep during that.
	Well, I enjoyed it because it had its share of what I love about the debates at the beginning, which is my...
	Target, Lindsey Graham.
	Lindsey Graham, he does pretty much want to go to war right away.
	Yes, that's because he's not married, he's a sad single man with no children, and he wants to die.
	That is the way I see it.
	But do you think he's had a vasectomy?
	I think he might have.
	He has a little bit of that lesbian face.
	He's got that look, yeah.
	He's got that sagging skin look.
	Well, I'll give you that.
	He's got nothing going on.
	This guy is, he's just, you know, he probably sleeps on John McCain's couch every night.
	Or at the foot.
	Yeah, how can we go and kill more people?
	How can we just kill more of our children?
	Let's kill, kill, kill.
	So I have this one clip.
	This is my favorite clip I'll start with.
	It says Kinsey on this one, by the way.
	But this is Graham.
	I can't believe...
	Talk about a guy who doesn't know anything about marketing or branding.
	In this clip, he actually, for all practical purposes, says he's an idiot.
	To exercise our constitutional rights, America did not create religious liberty.
	Religious liberty created the United States of America.
	It is the reason we're here today.
	Senator Graham, do you want to weigh in?
	I wasn't the best law student.
	By the end of this debate, it'd be the most time I've ever spent in any library.
	But on the first day.
	Yeah.
	What?
	He wasn't a good law student.
	No.
	And he's never been in the library before.
	By the way, everyone says library.
	No.
	They said library?
	Most people in apparently the Republican Party and Jake Tapper, too, say library.
	Oh, man.
	I mean, once in a while you might hear library, but it's library, brary, brary, not berry.
	Did they also say february?
	I don't know, they didn't say february.
	February?
	So here he is.
	Now he gets attacked by the Jake Tapper decides to attack Lindsey Graham because they're sick of him.
	And so this is the attack piece.
	We will get to those issues, but just a couple more on this general subject.
	Senator Graham, you've called Donald Trump a, quote, wrecking ball for the Republican Party.
	Voters in your home state of South Carolina in a recent poll prefer Donald Trump 30% to your 4%.
	How do you explain why so many of your constituents would rather have Donald Trump as the Republican nominee than you?
	Well, all I can say, if you looked at polling in 2012 and 2008 at this level, we'd have this stage, you'd have President Perry and President Giuliani.
	We've got a long way to go.
	And here's what I'm going to try to do tonight, convince you that I'm best qualified to be Commander-in-Chief for the 1% who are doing the fighting for the rest of us.
	And we're going to have a serious discussion tonight.
	All of us are going to say we want to destroy ISIL. But here's what I'm going to tell you.
	What we're doing is not working.
	I have a plan to do it.
	If I'm President of the United States, we're going to send more ground forces into Iraq because we have to.
	Bomb them, bomb them, and bomb them again.
	That's right!
	Bomb them!
	Bomb them!
	He's a moron.
	He is bad.
	People in South Carolina, we don't have that many listeners, I don't believe, should be ashamed of yourselves for having this guy.
	You've got plenty of smart people down there.
	So the other guy that was in this little mini thing was Jindal, who is just a jerk.
	And the funny thing about Jindal is I kept listening to him and listening to him and listening to him, and I finally...
	Clicked on me.
	There was something about him that bothered me.
	Play the Jindal Sounds Like clip.
	Stop treating Donald Trump like a Republican.
	If he were really a conservative and 30 points ahead, I would endorse him.
	He's not a conservative.
	He's not a liberal.
	He's not a Democrat.
	He's not a Republican.
	He's not an independent.
	He believes in Donald Trump.
	Here's the reality.
	The idea of America is slipping away.
	$18 trillion of debt.
	Planned Parenthood selling baby parts across our country.
	Our government's creating a new entitlement program when we can't afford the government we've got today.
	Hi, old Kermit the Frog here.
	That's him!
	You're right!
	Bobby Jindal is Kermit the Frog.
	He sounds just like Kermit the Frog half the time.
	Nice editing job.
	Alrighty then.
	Well, I did watch the debate.
	You know, I'm so...
	It's a horrible product.
	It was too long.
	Too many people on stage.
	Too long.
	Jake Tapper says, oh, we're going to have it, so you guys debate.
	You're going to get into little arguments.
	But wait.
	You haven't let me do my comparison.
	Do you think?
	Bobby Jindal is Kermit the Frog.
	I figured out who Donald Trump is.
	I figured it out.
	Uh-oh.
	Jason Calacanis.
	It's exactly the same guy.
	You know, it's like Jason Calacanis, who I've known since the early 90s, Silicon Alley days.
	You know, when you shake his hand, you just want to go, like, feel a little slimy.
	I don't know.
	You don't really feel a little dirty.
	But he's a good guy.
	And he's, you know, he's, I think, Jason's successful.
	But even the way he talks, his whole voice, his mouth, everything, even his head looks like Donald Trump.
	It's the same guy.
	Huh.
	I would have never made the comparison.
	Well, okay.
	I can see what you're saying.
	And I think Donald Trump is, look, he's the only guy on stage who can be honest because he's not taking political campaign funding, which is the only thing at this point I like about him.
	It was the only thing.
	He was bad.
	He was bad.
	He fell apart.
	He got totally snookered into the Fiorina debate about who had a better or worse career track record.
	Well, he goes after her for being a crappy...
	But it was set up.
	It was set up by Tapper.
	It was set up.
	It was set up.
	He fell for it.
	He fell for it.
	He falls for a lot of stuff.
	Yeah, but this was bad.
	This was bad.
	It was bad.
	It was bad.
	The thing that I like about him, besides funding his own campaign, which is undeniable, that's the best thing about him, is he does two things very well.
	He's a good listener.
	He listens well.
	He doesn't need to write stuff down.
	He's a good listener.
	I think he's the smartest guy in the room there.
	And he uses the tactic of positive reinforcement consistently, and it's very good.
	It works.
	It convinces himself that he's going to be president.
	I watched his thing in Dallas, and I watched it on the aircraft carrier or the USS, whatever it is, big gun.
	He's very, very good at this.
	But it's going to end very poorly for him.
	Very poorly for him.
	I watched this debate and kept an eye on him.
	They also did some funny camera shots.
	He actually blushed.
	He actually blushed when Carly Fiorina said, you know, about him calling her ugly or dogface or whatever it was.
	He blushed.
	That was him losing his shit.
	Because he knows you can't say anything.
	He could have apologized.
	I think he had an opportunity there to apologize.
	And it would be prefaced like this.
	People say, I never apologize.
	I'm a regular person.
	I apologize.
	I apologize.
	And he should have apologized.
	Yeah.
	Because when Bush told him to apologize, he didn't because he didn't have to.
	But I think he had an opportunity.
	I think he should apologize at least once just to show that it's possible.
	But, undeniable, that Carly Fiorina cannot, she is incapable of showing compassion or empathy because of the Botox.
	You notice her upper lip can't move.
	Oh, she doubled down on that shit.
	She doubled down.
	The upper lip stays still and she has like a down smile.
	The lower lip and the jaw drop and then she can't make the mouth turn up in a true smile.
	So it's a grimace.
	Now the other guy that looks like crap when he smiles is, I don't know if you noticed this, but...
	Cruz.
	Cruz.
	No, Cruz can't smile at all.
	I say Cruz and Rubio both.
	I'm sorry, when Rubio smiles, it is frightening.
	It's a square...
	Hey, hey, kind to smile.
	He looks like an insane maniac, and Cruz looks like some sort of a child.
	I actually was liking Christy for a little bit until the whole marijuana bit came up.
	I'm like, oh, brother, really?
	You're such a dick.
	Christie is a total dick.
	He doesn't care about states' rights.
	I don't even see him as a Republican.
	And I don't have any clips from him, but I found him.
	And that marijuana thing was ridiculous.
	I love Jeb Bush.
	Like, I smoke marijuana.
	Okay.
	That was his big reveal.
	The big reveal, everybody.
	And the marijuana you're smoking today is not like 40 years ago.
	Let me tell you something.
	I have standing in this area.
	It's not a gateway drug.
	It's not going to kill you.
	It's not going to get you addicted.
	It's definitely not a gateway drug.
	It's bullcrap.
	So Fiorina loses on that as well.
	Everyone on stage is just a douchebag.
	I don't like any of them.
	No, me neither.
	And, you know, Kasich, I kind of liked for, I think, well, he probably could do the job.
	Then I have, then I have this.
	Now, I, when I heard this, I said, this guy's a liar.
	Play this Kasich clip.
	Hello, I'm John Kasich, the governor of Ohio.
	Emma and Reese, my children, and Karen, love you girls.
	Thanks for watching tonight.
	By the way, I think I actually flew on this plane with Ronald Reagan when I was a congressman, and his goals and mine really pretty much the same.
	Let me ask you.
	If you're flying on Air Force One, which was right behind them, if you're flying on Air Force One, you get a ride on Air Force One, you think you took a trip?
	I think I took a ride on this plane.
	I don't remember.
	I was smoking weed.
	I can't recall.
	I don't know.
	I mean, you either...
	Not as though every day you're jumping on Air Force One.
	You rarely get a flight on air.
	Of course you remember.
	I think maybe I was on this flight.
	I'm not sure.
	He was probably coked up.
	He doesn't remember.
	So he's done.
	But for the world, right?
	The world stage.
	To see this cacophony of boneheads.
	And yes, I think Donald Trump is the smartest guy.
	I like the idea that you can have a chief executive who knows what it is to be a chief executive successor.
	I like all that.
	But from an outsider's perspective, outside of Gitmo and militarized nation...
	We look like such...
	I mean, they have that big plane in the background, like...
	I mean, this was also a big setup by CNN to do with this, or whoever determines this.
	I presume CNN had a hand in it.
	To just make everyone look like a douche.
	One of our producers who is watching this online sent me a screenshot where there's a little subtext.
	They had a little sidebar and it said Republicans, Republican candidates, or debate candidates, buttheads.
	Oh, buttheads instead of buttheads.
	But it says buttheads.
	Now, this being a big reality show...
	And I was, of course, most interested in what they were going to do with this $50,000 a second advertising time.
	All entertainment media products, all movies, which I think some of them were Time Warner-based, which, of course, owns CNN.
	So I think there were house ads, actually, some of them.
	Jake Tapper got to beat his meat talking about how awesome he is doing this debate and what it's all going to be about, and Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
	There's, I think people, you know, kind of, there's this debate as to whether...
	I think it's on Kimmel.
	...CNN and Fox and MSNBC news channels, whether they're covering Donald Trump is making Donald...
	I wonder if it's fueling itself in a way.
	You have to cover him because he's the biggest story, but he's also the biggest story because you're covering him.
	There is a chicken and egg thing there, and I have read media studies about, you know, if covering him, even if we're doing so...
	Aw, Tapper's read media studies.
	In a critical and fair way, if that fuels it.
	And look, he's the frontrunner.
	I mean, that's the bottom line.
	He is the frontrunner.
	And he says what he says.
	The voters in polls say that they like it.
	And so we keep covering him.
	If Hillary Clinton did, were willing to do as many interviews as Donald Trump, we would be covering her as much as well.
	Right.
	But she's boring.
	Let's be honest.
	And Donald Trump is not.
	Yes?
	I can read your mind and he's...
	I would never say that.
	You don't have to.
	Your face says it all.
	So it's all about entertainment.
	Every single bit of it.
	And the president...
	Now this was interesting.
	He even came out and...
	He said something about, he referred to Trump's Make America Great Again.
	And there's two things in this.
	First of all, he does something very strange when he, and it's a tell of some sort, and I want to analyze it with you.
	We're not supposed to be impeding progress.
	We're supposed to be advancing progress, accelerating it.
	And if our leaders can put common sense over ideology and the good of the country before the good of the party, then we'll do just fine.
	Despite The perennial doom and gloom that I guess is inevitably part of a presidential campaign.
	America's winning right now.
	Did you hear that?
	The tap-tap-tap?
	No, I did not hear it.
	Here's the way I analyze it.
	Where was the tap-tap-tap?
	He says, America's tap-tap-tap winning right now.
	I have it isolated.
	America's winning right now.
	Again, that's four taps.
	Winning right now.
	Winning right now.
	So he goes, winning right now.
	Winning right now.
	And it's some kind of a strange tell the president has, which is new.
	It's something new that he's developed.
	And I think it's when he has a scripted point that he's going to use...
	Somehow it's his own way of...
	It may be one of the...
	There's different kinds of memory techniques.
	So you don't make...
	Because he's done this before.
	He botches the punchline.
	He throws it backwards.
	He says something in the between.
	It may be like something he's learned.
	Somebody's taught him this where you do the three taps and it comes out perfectly.
	So he does the four taps.
	And the proof that this is only for him to remember...
	What the punchline was.
	He then goes on to explain to us why America's great.
	And that's the fun, that's the real punchline.
	...
	presidential campaign.
	America's winning right now.
	America's great right now.
	Now let him, he's going to explain why America's great.
	So Donald Trump, pay attention.
	We can do even better.
	But the reason that I'm so confident about our future is not because of our government or The size of our GDP or our military, but because everybody in this country that I meet, regardless of their station in life, their race, their religion, the region they live in, they do believe in a common creed.
	If people work hard in this country, they should be able to get ahead.
	Okay, let me understand.
	The reason why we're great is because he's talked to people of all different stations.
	Whatever that means.
	And they have a common creed that if you work hard, it's awesome.
	I mean, what is that?
	If you work hard, you get paid.
	What is that?
	It's totally dumb.
	Winning right now.
	Winning right now.
	Well, let's go to...
	I still have a couple of clips I want to play.
	Good, good, good.
	Even though you thought the debate was boring, and it was.
	Yes, it was incredibly boring.
	Taking a few clips wasn't that boring.
	Carly Fiorina, again, eliminated herself.
	She would be the worst president ever.
	She is a worst warmonger...
	But even worse, she has all the stats and the size of battalions in her head.
	I have two clips at two different times.
	This is the first one where she goes off on the military.
	This is the soft version.
	I think you should play that first.
	Since everyone has gotten to weigh in on this military issue, I'd like...
	To be able to do the same.
	We have spent probably 12 minutes talking about the past.
	Let's talk about the future.
	We need the strongest military on the face of the planet, and everyone has to know it.
	And specifically what that means is we need about 50 army brigades.
	Brigades?
	It's brigades, John.
	Just so you know, brigades.
	Brigades.
	I need some brigade.
	I know it's cheap to laugh at people, but fuck it.
	Army brigades.
	We need about 36 marine battalions.
	We need somewhere between 300 and 350 naval ships.
	We need to upgrade every leg of the nuclear triad.
	We need to reform the Department of Defense.
	We need as well to invest in our military technology.
	And we need to care for our veterans so 307,000 of them are dying waiting By the way, a comment from the chat room.
	Two Democrats covering Republican debates.
	Welcome to the show.
	You must be new.
	You must be new.
	Wow.
	That is a dummy.
	Brigades.
	OK, so now we have the second example of this where I think I dub this clip.
	She goes apeshit.
	Arabia begin to rely on us.
	What he is doing is he is trying to replace us as the single most important power broker in the Middle East.
	And this president is allowing it.
	That is what is happening in the Middle East.
	That's what's happening with Russia.
	I want to bring in Carla Kiarina.
	Having met Vladimir Putin, if I may, having met Vladimir Putin, I wouldn't talk to him at all.
	We've talked way too much to him.
	What I would do immediately is begin rebuilding the Sixth Fleet.
	I would begin rebuilding the missile defense program in Poland.
	I would conduct regular, aggressive military exercises in the Baltic states.
	I'd probably send a few thousand more troops into Germany.
	Vladimir Putin would get the message.
	By the way, the reason it is so critically important That every one of us know General Soleimani's name is because Russia is in Syria right now because the head of the Quds Force traveled to Russia and talked Vladimir Putin into aligning themselves with Iran and Syria to prop up Bashar al-Assad.
	Russia is a bad actor.
	Vladimir Putin is someone we should not talk to because the only way he will stop is to sense strength and resolve on the other side.
	And we have all of that within our control.
	We could rebuild the Sixth Fleet.
	I will.
	We haven't.
	We could rebuild the missile defense program.
	We haven't.
	I will.
	We could also, to Senator Rubio's point, give the Egyptians what they've asked for, which is intelligence.
	We could give the Jordanians what they've asked for.
	Bombs and materiel, we have not supplied it.
	I will.
	We could arm the Kurds.
	They've been asking us for three years.
	All of this is within our control.
	My take on this, because she's saying the same thing Donald Trump is saying, is...
	Well, she sounds like a lunatic.
	Well, because she has, I'm sure she has real money backing her, but half of the American economy is bomb-making materiel.
	That's what we do.
	Our military budget, you can take all the military budgets in the world, Russia, China, the EU, everybody.
	Our military budget shadows all of them put together.
	We want to spend more?
	And the other thing that's irksome is that the Defense Department can't be audited.
	This money is being squandered.
	Uh-huh.
	Yeah.
	I'm disappointed.
	I'm depressed and disappointed.
	I need some Haldol or something.
	It's depressing.
	Your neck bent.
	And I had high hopes for Donald Trump in this, but no.
	He is out of his league with these a-holes.
	And when I say a-holes, it's television actors.
	It's puppets.
	He's not really good at this.
	Well, I want to play a clip that's just kind of off the walls, a clip from the future.
	This way I won't have to play it later, the second half of the show.
	This is a Miss America thing.
	This is a Q&A, another set-up question.
	These questions on this particular show were the worst ever.
	Now, we need to go back and explain a little bit why we do this.
	Because it reveals a number of...
	It's a propaganda show.
	And there's a lot of...
	I forgot what the reason was.
	I just do it the bitch and grouse.
	That's why I... Because, yes, large audiences watch the pageants.
	Completely amazing in this world of men and women are equal.
	But, okay, where are the feminists taking this down?
	Where is femin, the topless chicks...
	Yeah, where's Femin?
	Yeah, they should be protesting this, but they don't.
	But they have this propaganda thing at the end, and they ask these very, in this case, this was the worst ever, because the questions were all written by Democrats, to just kind of give it to the Republicans.
	Well, it's no longer Trump property, right?
	No, no, Trump had Miss USA. Oh, okay.
	But they give it, they decide to blast Trump, and listen to this little ditty from Alabama.
	Okay, Tara Kiley.
	Hey, according to a poll released this week, Donald Trump is leading Republican candidates by 32% of the votes.
	Why do you think he's leading by such an overwhelming margin?
	I think Donald Trump is an entertainer.
	And I think he says what's on a lot of people's minds.
	But I think that the Republican Party should be absolutely terrified of all the attention that he's taking from incredible candidates like Jeff Bush and Chris Christie who could absolutely do the job of President of the United States.
	And if I were a Republican, I would absolutely be terrified of that.
	Thank you.
	Thank you so much.
	Okay, a couple of things about this particular one, besides it being a Trump slam, as expected, because this was on ABC and they're anti-Trump.
	They're also anti-Hillary.
	They're pro-Jeb.
	They're pro-Jeb.
	ABC, I pointed this out.
	Yes, you are right, John.
	This is your three-by-three.
	ABC pro-Jeb, yes.
	Disney, Disney Florida, Governor of Florida, good deals for Disney, good deals for ABC. ABC Jeb, good analysis.
	And what did she say there?
	She said Jeb.
	Now, the interesting thing was, I don't know if she's supposed to have said Christie, but I'm keeping this clip in abeyance because if the ticket is Jeb, Bush, and Christie, what is this telling you?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	We've got one guy who smoked weed and one guy who wants outlawed.
	I don't know.
	This Alabama just kind of seems to have it all figured out.
	All right.
	Well, while we're on women, are you done with the debate?
	There's one thing.
	I don't know if this...
	Yeah, I want to play...
	This, I believe, is what I... I believe this is the cruise on Iran.
	He...
	I don't know.
	This may not be the right clip, but there's a clip...
	Play this clip.
	...and a half years of President Obama leading from behind.
	Weakness is provocative, and this Iranian nuclear deal is nothing short of catastrophic.
	This deal on its face will send over $100 billion to the Ayatollah Khamenei, making the Obama administration the world's leading financier of radical Islamic terrorism.
	This deal...
	Okay, you can stop it.
	This is just Cruz with his cliches and his bullcrap that now we're the leading providers of terrorism.
	This is not our money.
	No, it's their money.
	It's Iran's money that we froze.
	It's their money that we sequestered.
	There was a clip, I don't have it, but I'll just explain what it was.
	It was so funny because it was somebody cut off the arena and started chatting and in the background you hear her going, it's my turn next, it's my turn next.
	It was just so juvenile.
	The whole thing was juvenile.
	These people, none of them, to me, that's why Hillary wants to get in so desperately because she knows whatever Democrat comes up there, it's a shoe-in.
	Yeah.
	A shoo-in.
	Well, you know, that's where you get Bernie.
	Well, Bernie's going to cause trouble.
	He's causing trouble as we speak.
	Well, you know, he's got it down.
	He understands that this country was created on racist principles.
	So let's bomb the South.
	Hey, how come we're not dead yet?
	Oh, it's the 23rd.
	We're not the 15th.
	This should be the cycle.
	Yeah, we're not dead yet.
	We're working on it.
	I think there was some prediction that it was the 15th, so we should all be dead.
	The whole world should be dead.
	The stock market should crash.
	Yes, another great prediction.
	That should happen.
	The 23rd, right.
	Is that after our next show?
	No, we have a show on Sunday the 24th, so we don't have to worry about that show because we'll be dead.
	No, the 24th is next Thursday.
	Today's the 17th.
	Yeah, so we're good today.
	Yeah, we're good on Sunday.
	And then next Thursday, you might as well send us all your money because we're all going to die.
	We're all going to die.
	We're going to be in Colorado.
	That's where I'll be.
	I think I'll be pretty safe there.
	Yes, except for the radioactivity.
	Well, that's where all the intelligence agencies are and everyone else.
	We're all going to die!
	I have a beef, and I'm quite surprised that amongst our...
	Politically correct pronoun using trans, cisgendered world.
	And actually there was something funny.
	What did I read?
	There was some news reporter who says he's now gender fluid.
	And his name is...
	What, has he got gonorrhea?
	No, it's like sometimes...
	No, sometimes he's male, sometimes he's female.
	Sometimes, this is where it's headed.
	Yeah, and he works for some Scandinavian news outfit.
	He's gender fluid.
	He's gender fluid, and so his name is now John Rebecca.
	So he has two names.
	John Rebecca.
	Yeah, that's great.
	One last thing about the debate, since I'm looking at my notes.
	There was, I think, a subtle propagandistic thing in the thing that nobody talked about, nobody noticed.
	I'm sure everyone who watched the debate saw this.
	When they had the shot of Jake Tapper, to his immediate right, just over his shoulder, was a Hillary lookalike.
	I didn't see it.
	It affected you subconsciously then.
	It was a Hillary lookalike.
	And she was sitting there and just neutral.
	And I think it was a moment of propaganda.
	I think they placed her there.
	Anyway, that was that.
	I'm done.
	When I could go two ways, I actually, now you bring up the propaganda angle.
	There was an executive order that came out.
	That the president issued yesterday, using behavioral science insights to better serve the American people.
	And, of course, the brain professor over there in California, former good old boy from Texas, like, this is great!
	Yes, yes, use science, use science to help people.
	I read through the order and I've looked at the history of this.
	This has been going on since the 70s.
	I think it's Project Minerva or something.
	It's marketing is what it is, except now the scientists get to call it science.
	And what this is being used for, and I'm sure there are already many grants.
	We're talking the billions of dollars.
	It is meant to more fully realize the benefits of behavioral insights and deliver better results at a lower cost for the American people.
	The federal government should design its policies and programs to reflect our best understanding of how people engage with, participate in, use and respond to those policies and programs.
	And it literally is, you know, well, we discovered that if you email people about their health plan changing and you email them 20 times that they then become aware of the change and take action.
	Oh, okay!
	Now, that's what they say it's being used for, but come on!
	Using behavioral science insights to better the...
	It's called the nudge policy.
	Have you ever heard of this?
	Yes.
	Yeah, it's a real policy in our United States government.
	The nudge policy.
	The amount of propaganda that we're facing on a day-to-day basis where there's a little Hillary face in the side or the buttheads comment or the big F or what the government is constantly doing with the see something, say something and all the phony baloney stories and phony baloney arrests that are never really prosecuted that make it sound like we're under attack is just frightening.
	It's just like I can understand we get a lot of checks besides just our anonymous lesbian who writes sanity and they're the little thing at the bottom of a check.
	Well, it's called nudge theory, actually.
	And since you bring up our favorite slogan...
	Now, the problem with this slogan, besides the fact that they are idiots and should be licensing this jingle, because it's great, it sticks in your head, people are posting on Twitter daily, oh, I hear the jingle, I hear the jingle, I hear the jingle, it's copyrighted by the Manhattan Transit Authority.
	This is the problem.
	If you want to use it, let's say, oh, I don't know, in Michigan...
	You can't do that without paying a license fee or at least having a licensing agreement.
	So Michigan actually came up with something new.
	Hi, my name is Tom Izzo, the men's basketball coach at MSU. The threat of school violence is something that affects everyone and needs to be taken seriously.
	Keeping others safe is a community project that begins with you.
	You can be a change by using OK to say.
	OK to say is a confidential way you can report anything that threatens your safety or the safety of others by paying attention to what's going on around you.
	You can be a life-saving difference.
	If you see or hear something that doesn't seem right, submit a tip to OK2Say.
	You can call, text, email, go online, or use the OK2Say app to let someone know what's happening in your world.
	Your tip is confidential so you don't have to worry about retaliation, rejection, or being labeled a snitch.
	Snitch!
	You could be the one person who helps to prevent a tragedy.
	That's right.
	Tragedy!
	OK2Say.org Wow, good catch.
	Yeah, so they come up with a new version of the slogan.
	And it was already used, okay to say, when a couple of kids at MSU heard someone else talking about something out of context.
	They had to send a whole letter to the whole school.
	And immediately this kid went, oh my god, they're doing something, it's okay to say, is this okay to say line?
	And they had to, you know, bring everybody in, and, you know, oh no, they were actually talking about the program, and someone ratted on them.
	This is insane.
	This is insane.
	Alright, fine.
	Yeah, fine.
	But then, you know, when it's okay to say, and then we bring someone in, you know, oh, you brought a kid in, his name is Ahmed.
	You're racist, Texas!
	You're racist!
	I mean, you can't have it both ways.
	Here you can.
	Are you crazy?
	I guess we have it both ways.
	We always have it both ways.
	We're lucky.
	We're lucky.
	That's the myth.
	Well, that brings me to our pronouns and a very big issue, which I am now, I am going to take issue with this.
	I am bonding with women across the United States and all around the world.
	You'd like to.
	I am standing strong for women's rights.
	And I think it's an outrage.
	I think Silicon Valley must be held to account when I saw this Kickstarter video for another assistant.
	Hey, Angie.
	Hi, Max.
	Welcome home.
	The essence of home security is simple.
	You need to know what's going on at home, even when you're not there.
	Did you know that even if you have an alarm system, 41% of attempted burglaries happen when the alarm system isn't on?
	So this is a Kickstarter for a home security system, which looks very much like the Amazon Echo.
	Her name is Angie.
	So, to summarize, we have Angie, Alexa, Siri, Cortana.
	Why does Silicon Valley think that assistants are women?
	This is bigoted, sexist, and it's wrong.
	I thought, is Cortana a woman, or is it just, it sounds like an old Ford?
	Well, it's a Microsoft version of women.
	That's what they like over there in Seattle.
	So let me get this right there.
	You got Siri, Alexa, Angie, and Cortana.
	Is there any other ones?
	Okay, Google.
	Which is also a female voice.
	Yes.
	And I think this is an outrage.
	Silicon Valley thinks they can get away.
	It's completely sexist.
	Yeah, one, two, three, four, five.
	The big five are all women.
	And they're all assistants.
	Personal assistants.
	Personal assistants.
	Assistants.
	That's right.
	Can I be your secretary?
	Yes.
	It's an outrage, I tell you.
	You need to change your Twitter icon for this.
	Well, I think it is an outrage now that you mention it.
	Yeah.
	And how come nobody else has mentioned this?
	Because they are...
	Hail Apple!
	That's why.
	Hail Apple.
	They're tech hornies.
	That's why.
	That's actually a really good one to bring up just about in any group, any dead Silicon Valley crowd.
	Well, hopefully.
	I don't know.
	What are we going to do?
	Fine.
	Fine.
	I don't know.
	Yeah, exactly.
	They should have that guy.
	That's actually what they should do.
	That was what you just did, which is that the helper should be a teenage millennial with a voice that cracks.
	Well, let's see which...
	We need to see which...
	But it's not just the voice.
	It's also the names.
	Angie, Alexa, Siri.
	I don't know.
	Sam.
	I want Fred.
	Well, well...
	But it is a millennial name.
	It is a mindset.
	And I guarantee you...
	Trevor.
	Trevor.
	It is a mindset.
	So, everyone who...
	Why can't we just call it Zer or Zer?
	Okay, Zer.
	Zer.
	Zem.
	We need to have a gender-fluid personal assistant.
	With a voice that has been manipulated to be completely gender-neutral.
	Yes.
	Let's do it.
	We need it.
	We desperately need it, John.
	Desperately.
	We desperately need it.
	Hello, Zem.
	Hello, Zero.
	Should I help you?
	Yes, exactly.
	Let me see.
	I don't want to jump ahead, but I got one more little zinger.
	Okay.
	From this coming up with my analysis of the Miss America pageant.
	This is a tease for the C block.
	Nice.
	This is a tease for the C block.
	Now, what makes it a good tease...
	Oh, and I might want to point out, I've gotten some feedback.
	Not everybody understands when we're talking about A, B, C, D blocks.
	Good.
	Just ask Alexa.
	They should not understand this.
	Or Angie.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Alright, now this is when they started...
	I'm doing this as kind of a combination Ask Adam and...
	You didn't watch the show, did you?
	The Miss USA? Yeah.
	No.
	Oh, Miss America?
	No.
	No, I did not.
	I did not watch the show.
	Because I don't...
	It makes this even better.
	When they started off the question and answer thing at the very end, which is supposed to...
	Make the winner, you know, show obvious.
	It didn't, by the way.
	The winner flubbed on this thing.
	But this is the way it began.
	I want to play the beginning of the Miss America Q&A Colorado Part 1.
	A question, which is another, you know, another political question.
	I think it's unfortunate they do this, but this is the way it started.
	The first question goes to Miss Colorado.
	Kelly Johnson.
	Kelly, come on over.
	Each of our judges has been assigned a question.
	So with that ball from the bull has a judge's name, and that judge will ask their question, and you will have 20 seconds to answer.
	It seems so very random, John.
	It's just random questions popping up with a ball and something.
	All right, your question's coming from Mr.
	Wonderful.
	Kevin O'Leary, you're up.
	Fantastic.
	I've got a great question for you, Miss Colorado.
	You know, this is about money, my favorite topic.
	The Treasury wants to put the face of a woman on the $10 bill beside Alexander Hamilton.
	Which woman should get that honor and you tell me why?
	It should be my mother.
	It should be my wife.
	It should be...
	You saw the Republican debate.
	They actually had a lot of funny answers.
	And Carly Fiorina...
	I didn't think they were funny.
	Well, I thought they were.
	Because Carly Fiorina said...
	Well, they were funny in a meta sense.
	Carly Fiorina said, nobody.
	This is bullcrap.
	And I thought that was the only good thing.
	That was the best answer.
	Yeah, I agree.
	Now, these are the Miss America contestants who we kind of assume are somewhat dingbats.
	Unfairly.
	But, you know, they always try to ask these kind of poignant questions, hopefully to show the public.
	They're not dingbats.
	They're very thoughtful women.
	Many, you know, going to college and all the rest.
	So, what do you think Miss Colorado would think?
	The thoughtful answer that she would give.
	Wait, wait, wait, wait.
	Ask Adam.
	Ask Adam.
	All right, so you're asking me a question?
	Yeah, what do you think for just to show her intelligence and thoughtfulness and that Miss Colorado, who, by the way, was 10 feet tall.
	Oh, hold on, hold on.
	What's her name?
	I don't know what her name is.
	Don't start looking stuff up.
	You might get this.
	What do you think she might say?
	Which woman should be on the $10 bill?
	Well...
	Maybe she said something really...
	Was it boneheaded?
	You have to give me a little help here.
	It was unbelievable.
	I think it set the stage for the whole competition.
	Maybe she should just...
	Did she say Hillary Clinton or something stupid like that?
	It would be along those lines.
	Yeah.
	Let's play it.
	Which woman should get that honor and you tell me why?
	Oh, wait.
	I know what it is.
	Can I write it down to show you that I knew what it was?
	Yeah.
	I bet it's Michelle Obama.
	Oh my goodness.
	Thank you for that question.
	The person that I would put on the $10 bill would be Ellen DeGeneres.
	I think that woman is so amazing.
	Not only is she kind, not only is she intelligent, not only is her entire platform speaking tolerance and equality for all and kindness, but she's able to be funny without insulting someone, and I think that is an incredible feat.
	Thank you.
	Oh my God!
	Shut up already!
	Science!
	It's amazing!
	Ellen DeGeneres.
	Yes, that's a wonderful idea.
	We're doomed.
	We're doomed, I'm telling you.
	Doomed!
	The dumbest woman in history.
	This is Colorado.
	Ellen DeGeneres.
	Her platform is awesome.
	It's amazing.
	And there was a little jab, a little Trump jab in there, if you didn't notice.
	Another one on the show.
	I didn't see the show.
	Without salting people.
	Get it?
	No.
	Well, Trump insults me.
	Oh, of course.
	Of course.
	Yeah.
	You know what?
	I'm glad it's another month until then we have the Democrat debates.
	Oh, yeah.
	Who's to debate?
	They're going to have Hillary.
	Hillary, Bernie.
	Bernie, communist coming up there and saying whatever.
	He's not a kind of socialist.
	He's a socialist.
	He's a socialist.
	Oh.
	And then some other bonehead, the guy who keeps the one other guy.
	I can't remember who it is.
	Is there some other guy running?
	Oh, yeah.
	There's another guy in there.
	Well, since we're talking about Hillary, and this will take us up to the D-block...
	You recall the little pixie girl from Fox News, Catherine Herridge, the one who was kicked out because she did something wrong?
	Oh, I don't remember her being kicked out.
	She's the CIA girl.
	Yeah, she is the CIA girl.
	Oh, yeah, she's got a CIA. Don't you remember she screwed something up and they kicked her out for a while?
	Oh, I remember this.
	Maybe I should remember it.
	Yeah, well, it's not relevant, but she is the CIA girl.
	She did a long 15-minute piece on the latest discovery.
	Which is, I don't think they really have a smoking gun, but she's trying to put it together with this arms dealer, American arms dealer named, I think his name is Turi, T-U-R-I? No, that's the guy on MSNBC. No, that's Touré.
	I think it's Touré.
	Let me see.
	And the way it works with arms, we have arms dealers, you know, and they are the go-between.
	They're independent contractors between the United States.
	They have to get a license.
	We read these all the time.
	Oh, another $2 billion for this and an extra billion for other and all these.
	That's how we sell weapons.
	It's what we do.
	We create wars, then we sell the weapons to people to go...
	It's a hell of a business.
	It's a dynamite business, right?
	Called marketing.
	So this is about the weapons smuggling operation run by the CIA... What network was this on?
	Fox News Okay.
	But the cable network.
	In early April 2011, arms dealer Mark Turi is exchanging emails with Chris Stevens.
	A day later on April 8th...
	Chris Stevens, of course, the ambassador, who was not just killed, but was sodomized.
	You know, they took broomsticks to his anus.
	I mean, none of that ever reported.
	Dragged through the streets.
	It'd be completely, really, really horrible.
	It was embarrassing.
	It was embarrassing.
	A heavily redacted email shows Secretary Clinton was interested in arming the Libyan rebels using contractors.
	FYI, the idea of using private security experts to arm the opposition should be considered, she wrote.
	And Mark Turi showed Fox emails from his business partner, David Manners, from March and April 2011, which indicates support from Admiral James Stavridis.
	The Supreme Allied Commander for the European Forces.
	In this email exchange, Admiral Stavridis, from a government account, writes he can fully vouch for David Manners' credibility.
	And Stavridis copies General Carter Ham, then Commander of AFRICOM, Now you see all the players coming together.
	Remember Carter Ham's the one who said, stand down, no flying from Italy, don't go and try and save everybody?
	Short for Africa Command.
	Also copied via a personal email address was Mike Costew, who until February 2011 was a staffer for the Senate Armed Services Committee under Republican John McCain.
	Mr.
	Turi paints a picture of a government totally out of control operating outside the confines of the Constitution and without any transparency.
	May 5th, Turi received this preliminary approval letter from the State Department for his $267 million arms proposal for Qatar.
	His attorney Jean-Jacques Cabot told Fox in emails that his client had a track record working for the U.S. government through the Central Intelligence Agency, and the government's case is an epic fishing expedition.
	As Hillary campaigns for president, several of the main players in Benghazi have left public service and Now listen to this.
	Where are all these main players?
	Now work together at a Clinton-aligned D.C. consulting firm, Beacon Global Strategies.
	These include Hillary's principal gatekeeper, Philippe Reines, Andrew Shapiro, who oversaw weapons contracts at State, former CIA Deputy Director Mike Morrell, who edited the talking points, and Admiral James Stavridis.
	Turi insists he never shipped any weapons to Qatar.
	They were going to run it with their people.
	And who that is, I have no idea.
	I sat back and watched this unravel and it went south really quick.
	When this equipment landed in Libya, half went one way and the half went the other way.
	The half that went the other way is the half that ended up in Syria.
	This defense intelligence agency report provides further confirmation weapons were flowing unchecked in the weeks leading up to the 2012 attack.
	This whole report, which you can watch from the show notes, 757.noagendanotes.com, is pretty good.
	And this is just a setup, I think, towards completely obliterating Hillary Clinton at the end of October.
	When she has to appear.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	She really begged.
	Begged.
	Please let me testify.
	She begs to appear.
	Let me testify about my emails.
	Please, I beg you.
	I beg you.
	At some point, she's going to have to blow up.
	She came close with it.
	What difference does it make?
	Yeah.
	But this is a topic that is a sore spot and a sore point.
	And she...
	Yeah, they've got to get her out of there.
	They've been working and working on it.
	They've got to get her out.
	They've got to get Trump out.
	Bring Elizabeth Warren in if they're lucky.
	Otherwise, they will have a fight on their hands.
	She's been awfully quiet.
	Awfully quiet recently.
	What difference at this point does it make?
	That was the blow-up.
	And they've got to get Sanders out of there and put somebody reasonable like Warren.
	Then they can run Trump and Christie.
	That's a very interesting combination.
	I'm sorry, Bush and Christie.
	Bush and Christie.
	That's a very interesting combo.
	It makes nothing but sense.
	You get the guy who smoked weed and the guy who says don't legalize his gateway drug because look at Jeb Bush, clearly an addict.
	Clearly he's completely off his rocker.
	I'm gonna show myself by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	All right, we have a bunch of people to thank for show 757.
	Let's start with Richard Terrio, T-E-R-R-E-O, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, $166.67.
	Doug Longenecker in Austin.
	Right there.
	133.33.
	Craig Covell in Auburn, Pennsylvania.
	123.50.
	Sorry?
	I'm sorry.
	I coughed.
	You've been coughing a lot.
	You're okay?
	No, I have horrible sinus issues.
	It's off the charts here.
	No wonder you want to get out of there.
	Get up to the nice, clear, clean weather.
	It's really off the charts.
	Ashik Al-Moussani wrote an interesting note.
	You often ask us to think about how much we spend to go to the movies, buy a coffee, etc., and consider the value of that short-term frivolity versus the long-term value delivered by the best podcast in the universe.
	So here's next month's budget for my laundry.
	I am foregoing the frivolity of clean clothes for a month to help produce the I Love Laundry Tour.
	By the way, yes, I said that too.
	The amount is rounded off to one of John's favorite numbers.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	Also, I appreciate that you take time to explain the background of U.S.-only topics to the rest of the world producers.
	Please keep doing this, and the sound quality is just awesome.
	Go laundry!
	Smelly with a cause.
	He's an Oman.
	Yeah, nice.
	Thank you.
	We appreciate that.
	Highly appreciate that.
	Sir Jim in Ringo, Louisiana, $105.60.
	Now, he says he's a knight, but we don't have a knighting here.
	What's going on?
	I think he is a knight.
	He's already a knight.
	Yeah.
	Dame Melody and I joined the Mile High Club with this donation, so it's a double knighting.
	Gotcha, gotcha.
	Oh, he's putting, because we always tell these guys to put it in their notes because it doesn't show up.
	Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
	K-5, K-F-5-Y-A-E, 73s.
	73s from Kilo Fox 5 Sugar Lima November.
	Thomas Stanley in Cheyenne, Wyoming, $100.
	He says, please, he's just telling me to go back and do twit more.
	Richard Moffitt in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
	I do have a note for him.
	He actually put a scotch-taped a penny to the note so he could get the $9.99.
	It's actually $100.
	There's nothing really in the note that's During Program 753, Adam read from a list published by the Sutlep, something, Sut, I don't know what it says.
	Sutter Listing, the group considered, I don't know.
	Southern Poverty Law Center?
	Oh yeah, Southern Poverty Law, maybe.
	About the sovereign citizens?
	Yeah, maybe.
	I don't know.
	He wants you to name the trailer, so I think the key of the note, Moffat.
	Type your notes next time.
	The Ebola Gay.
	Yeah, we were trending with the hashtag name that trailer for a little while there.
	Where are you now?
	Yeah.
	Did you get any good names?
	No, but we were trending.
	I like Ebola Gay.
	Yeah.
	It's just a pun.
	Alright, thanks Richard.
	I think it's Sir Richard.
	No, he doesn't put it in his note.
	McTank in La Jolla, California.
	73, 73, 73, 73, 73.
	Sean Rigaldo in Saranac Lake, New York.
	73, 28.
	Kaylin Nistor in Northville, Michigan.
	72-27.
	Ryan Elbertin.
	Elbertin.
	Elbertin.
	In Winterville, North Carolina.
	69-69.
	Scott Walls.
	He actually says something nice.
	A birthday donation from my brother, Brad.
	He is 35.
	In lieu of gifts, we donate for each other.
	That's beautiful.
	That's nice.
	That's brotherly love.
	And he's got a birthday call out, I assume.
	Scott Wallace in San Antonio, Texas.
	$60.
	You have ruined my life, he says.
	Because of your show, I take nothing at face value and find deception everywhere.
	Yes, well...
	I feel you, brother.
	I've ruined my own life.
	Depressed.
	Bring on the Haldol.
	Well, you know, I'm saying now, now I'm convinced of it, that Facebook is dangerous.
	Stay off Facebook and you can listen to the show and be a happy camper, because I don't get depressed, because I don't go on Facebook.
	I know, but I don't want to be on, but I have to be.
	It's my beat.
	It's your beat.
	Somebody's got to do it.
	Because I'm not doing it.
	5640 from Keith Van Dyke in Owen, South Australia.
	Oh, I think you missed Scott from San Antonio.
	Oh, no, I'm sorry.
	I'm shutting up.
	Never mind.
	Scott Wallace, $60.
	Anonymous from Salton, Washington, $52.80.
	This is a Mile High Club, so Anonymous is on the Mile High Club.
	Joe Schwarzbauer in Florissant, Missouri, $52.80.
	These are $52.80.
	Robert Goschko, our buddy, in Sherwood Park, Alberta.
	I think he's a sir.
	Stephen B. in Pembroke Pines, Florida.
	Kyle Dietz in Bondville, Illinois.
	Jason Denny in Madison, Alabama.
	Garris Corporation.
	Can I just say...
	I'm sorry.
	Kyle Deese, did you read his note?
	Oh, no.
	Here it is.
	You guys are an answer to prayers.
	About a year ago, I was getting the sense from God that watching the news, including the seed guy, was hindering my spiritual life.
	That could be.
	I don't want to give up news, so I prayed for an alternative that would not make me sick.
	And you appeared.
	I'll take it.
	Anyway, thank you, Jason, for the money.
	No, no, no, no.
	Jason has a douchebag call-out.
	Oh, Jason.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I got the wrong guy.
	Oh, yeah.
	That was Kyle Dietz in Bonneville, Illinois.
	Jason Denny in Madison, Alabama, 5280, has a douchebag call-out.
	Greetings and salutations.
	This week in tech used to be my mandatory podcast, but no blah, blah, blah.
	The No Agenda show is more entertaining and provides more food for thought, that's for sure.
	After the show has ended, my current work in the defense sector, he's in Alabama, that probably means he works out of Huntsville or one of those places, Lockheed Martin comes to mind, affords me the opportunity to work with the best and brightest in the special operations community.
	Even most of these individuals are retired from active service.
	Some of them could still kill me in my sleep.
	Okay.
	Nevertheless, I have punched a few of them in the mouth for you.
	That's one of our listeners' styles.
	That's right.
	I mean, the guys who work in the...
	No fear.
	In addition to this remarkable act of bravery, I'll double down and call a few of them out as douchebags.
	Okay.
	John.
	Douchebags.
	Paul.
	Douchebags.
	Maybe Randall.
	Douchebag!
	Have a good one.
	Nice knowing you, Jason.
	You get killed in your sleep.
	This is great.
	These are all mile-high clubs for the 757 show.
	Another fine aircraft.
	It is a fine aircraft.
	I've never really liked the 757, though, because it's just a little too cramped.
	I really didn't like it when they had all those monitors up and down the aisle.
	Remember those before they had flat panels?
	In the middle, you mean?
	In the middle on the ceiling?
	Yeah, on the ceiling.
	And you'd bump into them.
	Yes, I do recall.
	You would be bumping into them a lot.
	Yep, yep, yep.
	Garris Corporation in Arlington, Virginia, 5280.
	Nicholas Hanna in Mesa, Arizona.
	Andy Kluber in Terre Haute, Indiana.
	Letitia Samante, or Samant probably, in Oakland, California.
	Nice.
	Ben Dover.
	And he has a douchebag call-out.
	He's in Glendale Heights, Illinois, and he says, shout-out to Glendale Heights, law enforcement officer Nickard.
	He is a dick, an asshole, and wannabe cop with an authority complex douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	Let's stop here.
	The douchebag call-outs are for people who don't donate to the show.
	It's not really a random cop you run into.
	Yeah, I agree.
	Donald Winkler's got a...
	from Berlin, Germany, Deutschland.
	He's been around.
	He's 5280.
	He wants a douchebag call-out to all listeners who don't donate.
	Douchebag!
	Which is more like it.
	Coincidentally, the next donor is Heinrich Ulbricht from Dresden.
	Deutschland.
	It's fine.
	Again, random number.
	Roger Esty in Palm Harbor, Florida.
	5280.
	Sir Herb Lamb in Sugar Hill, Georgia.
	Chad Gertz in Vancouver, Washington.
	Vancouver, Washington.
	Kilo 7, Charlie.
	Kilo Golf.
	73s.
	Bruce Schwalm in Orwin, Pennsylvania.
	Nick Barnes in North Canton, Ohio.
	James Green in Sugar Hill, Georgia.
	Shauna Nash in Keene, New Hampshire is 51.50.
	That's the end of our Mile High clubs.
	So Shauna came in at 51.50.
	She wants job karma at the end.
	Lucas Zua in Munich, 51.15, Deutschland.
	A lot of Deutschlanders today.
	Good.
	Well, you know, here's what happened.
	You talk about, they're listening, but when you start talking about them and about what's happening with the migrants, quote-unquote migrants, and people are like, you know, crap, I'm glad there's a show out there that is representing my country as well.
	We do try.
	We do.
	We're an international podcast.
	We cover international news because it's all interlinked in the New World Order.
	I never thought the day would come when John C. Dvorak would just honor the New World Order as real.
	George H.W. Bush called it.
	Sure.
	But you used to laugh at me.
	No, no.
	I laughed about other stuff.
	I laughed about the Bilderbergers as a drinking club when it's what it is.
	What else did I laugh at?
	The Trilateral Commission.
	Of course, you never bring that one up.
	Well, they don't do much.
	That's a little crap, too.
	It's a little crap.
	Chris Terhart in Abbotsford, British Columbia.
	50.
	These are the final group.
	These are all $50 donors.
	Joshua Defabo in Watsonville, California.
	William Granger in Parts Unknown.
	Matthew Mungin in Baltimore, Maryland.
	Rosalind Furness in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
	Rudkin Paul in Shanghai, China.
	Hey, give us a report.
	Yeah, really.
	Joel Deruen in Savannah, Georgia.
	Erez Schatz in Israel.
	Nice.
	We had a great group today.
	Amitav Hajra in Daleville, Virginia.
	John Camp in Antlers, Oklahoma.
	Great name for a town.
	Aaron Murphy, Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
	Simon Horn in Manly, Queensland, Australia.
	Sir Chris Lewinsky in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada.
	Scott Lavender in Montgomery, Texas.
	Patrick Thomas in Petworth, West Sussex.
	Gerald Parker in Raleigh, North Carolina.
	What does he say in his note?
	Sir Howard Guttnacht.
	Sir Howard, I've had beer with him, in Seattle, Washington.
	John Halloran, Missoula, Montana.
	And Sir Mark Tanner, who I've been in correspondence with recently, I've asked him about some technicality.
	He donates $50 because he shows up a lot.
	And I asked him, what's your frequency, Kenneth?
	And he said, twice a month.
	So the chick comes in twice a month.
	That's the way we hear from him so much.
	Yeah, that's nice.
	And Dame Melody Mann comes in the same amount, lots, in Ringo, Louisiana.
	And finally, the anonymous lesbian.
	Ah, does she have a note?
	Yeah, she does.
	And of course, we'd like to read her notes.
	Yes, yes.
	And her note would, in this case, be buried in the back.
	It's another good note.
	That's the reason we read them.
	She's an anonymous lesbian here, parts unknown.
	By the time you get this note, I will be in Gitmo Nation lowlands.
	Oh, nice.
	Playing a couple of gigs.
	I look forward to seeing Adam's picture plastered all over the gossip paper.
	Cut some out.
	Put them on the wall.
	But seriously, thank you both so much for your courage.
	Listening to the show is an irreplaceable part of my mental health routine.
	Your mental hygiene is cleaning up nicely.
	Yes.
	A few months ago, I started, on the other side of the note, a weekly subscription, and I encourage all listeners to do the same.
	Literally every time I get an email confirming the payment, I get a frisson of good feelings, knowing that the money is going to the show.
	Go do it now!
	And go podcasting!
	Go podcasting!
	That's beautiful.
	And that concludes our show 757 donation segment.
	I want to thank all these folks and everyone who donated lesser amounts for whatever reason, whether it's anonymity or some lower subscription amount or anything.
	We want to thank you all.
	And also, sign up for the newsletter.
	We have a link on every show notes page.
	One click, and it's MailChimp, so it's a good service.
	Excuse me.
	We had a collection of Joe Biden photos that was fascinating.
	And he's got a whole bunch of Hillary pictures.
	Oh, screw it.
	It's all about cats, ultimately.
	Well, there's always a cat picture.
	It's always all about cats.
	But it's highly appreciated.
	Now, the anonymous lesbian, do you have any email contact with her or is it only notes that she sends with her?
	I do not have email contact with her.
	Well, anonymous lesbian, if you need any help in the lowlands, let me know.
	We have infrastructure.
	If she's going to fly in, let's face it, or she's going to get the Wi-Fi.
	She might take the train or fly in.
	She might want the code.
	Just let us know, please.
	And, of course, we'll be doing a show on Sunday.
	It will be from Santa Fe, New Mexico.
	This will be the beginning of the I Love Laundry Tour.
	This is only part one, because we will be touring throughout the next decade, I think.
	Yeah.
	I'm happy you're so tickled by that, John.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. Amen.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs.
	Oh, no.
	It's your birthday, birthday.
	I'm so rich, yeah.
	And just a couple names on the list today.
	Ryan Albritton says happy birthday to his brother Brad turning 35 today.
	Lucas Zewa says happy birthday to his brother Merrick and his lovely wife Jaina.
	And Gerald Parker turns 33, magic number, on September 20th.
	Happy birthday from all your buddies here, the staff of management at the best podcast in the universe.
	Happy birthday, yeah!
	I had, you know, I came across an RFP. A request for proposal.
	Yes, an RFP, which I found quite interesting.
	Let me find this.
	This is from the Broadcast Board of Governors.
	And as you know, the broadcast board of governors, they are the ones who, in fact, the guy who's back now at NBC was the big chief kahuna on the broadcast board of governors.
	They are the propaganda arm of the United States, specifically the State Department.
	And they run Radio Free Europe, the Voice of America, all of this stuff.
	And they came out with a request.
	Actually, I'm sorry.
	It's a request for quotation, which is, I guess, just money?
	I have no idea.
	And I thought this to be very interesting.
	Now, do you know that ever since you convinced me to become a licensed ham radio amateur radio operator, I went in deep.
	I can Morse code.
	Deeper than me.
	I've hooked up my computer.
	I do all the digital modes.
	I knew this would happen.
	I do QRP, which is low power.
	I've got magnetic loop antennas.
	Oh, and of course, on the I Love Laundry Tour, we'll be schlepping the rig along.
	You're going to have a big giant antenna off that thing?
	Not off of it, but next to it, yes.
	I'll have the buddy pole.
	As you know, I always travel with a buddy pole.
	No, I'm not talking about the Yagi.
	I'm talking about a big...
	No, I'm talking about the...
	It's a buddy pole.
	A long wave antenna?
	The fact that you call it a long wave antenna, we should strip you of your credentials.
	Just strip you of your credentials.
	Do you even know your call sign?
	Yeah, yeah.
	What is it?
	Kevin Johnson's six liquid natural gas.
	Okay.
	The Broadcast Board of Governors, BBG, Broadcast Technologies Division, has a requirement for the development of software to allow reception of high-frequency transmissions that are currently being broadcast by BBG. This will allow non-technical listeners to receive digital content of high-frequency broadcasts.
	See, attached scope of work.
	And what they're asking for specifically, I'll go down here, The contractor shall develop a software application to decode the specified digital transmissions.
	The software shall be capable of operating on multiple operating systems and shall be user-friendly for a non-technical person to install and operate.
	The software will provide real-time decoding on the screen and save the received data as digital files for retrieval.
	And when I look into it, they are asking specifically for industry-standard codecs MFSK32, MFSK16, Now, these are digital ham radio modes that are used every single day by ham radio operators around the world.
	I thought this was very interesting that they are now broadcasting, apparently Voice of America, they're doing tests already.
	They're also asking for Olivia 32-2000, Olivia 64-2000 modes.
	To essentially have a receiver, have your Android phone or whatever to tune it.
	You don't even have to connect it to the radio as long as it can...
	And this is the crazy thing.
	There's tons of apps that already do this.
	In fact, there's an open source app called FL Digi, which they could take right now and do this.
	But they are asking for a request for quotations.
	And I find it in one way really fascinating, interesting that they're using this technology to spout propaganda.
	On the other hand, it's very disappointing because I thought we had like a little secret club that no one would be interested in butting into.
	But there you go.
	Huh.
	Well, you should send him something.
	Send him a quote.
	I'm already working with my friend from Italy who's developed a couple of...
	Not that I'm going to be a part of it, but he sent me this.
	He said, should I do this?
	I said, fuck yeah.
	We need you on the inside.
	Absolutely.
	We've got to get you in there talking to the broadcast board of governors, see what they're really up to.
	Yeah, they're up to no good, that's my guess.
	Isn't that interesting, though, that they want to use ham radio technology to propagandize?
	Well, does it surprise you, really?
	Yeah, it really does surprise me.
	I said, yeah, no, sorry about that.
	Amen.
	Fist bump.
	Yes, it surprises me.
	I did not expect that.
	Okay.
	Well, I got a little entremont if you want it.
	Please.
	The Elton John Putin story.
	Yeah, I like this a lot.
	This is a good one.
	You like it for the reason I probably like it, too.
	Another round.
	And tonight, that hoax making global headlines told you about Russian President Vladimir Putin calling Elton John, or so the singer thought.
	You're about to hear part of the supposed translator for Putin and Elton John, who thought he was going to help make progress on gay rights overseas.
	I'll be the interpreter between you and Mr.
	Putin.
	I'm not a politician, but I would love to sit down with the president and discuss things face-to-face.
	And he's telling me he's made my day, okay?
	The call goes on and on, and it turns out, obviously, it was not Putin, but a radio show host playing a prank, outrage around the world coming in, people saying, Elton John tonight deserves an apology.
	I like it was a radio prank.
	It's fantastic.
	And everybody's all, oh, this is terrible.
	You know, radio pranks used to be very common.
	Yeah.
	Remember the radio prank where the nurse then killed herself?
	That kind of ended the radio prank days.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, radio pranks.
	But he did talk with Medvedev.
	I mean, he has had conversations.
	So it's not entirely unthinkable that that would happen.
	And maybe it did happen, but just calling it hoax just to make Putin look like an a-hole.
	I finally watched all of the last season of House of Cards, where the Russian president, you know, they're talking about the anti-propaganda laws, and the Russian president himself was like, hey, my wife's brother is gay, everyone's gay.
	This is not about me.
	I don't give a shit.
	The Russian people like it.
	I'm like, wow, that's taking it a bit far.
	I didn't see it.
	So now all the Russian people are just gay haters.
	That was the implication on the show.
	Good work, Netflix.
	Good work.
	It wasn't Netflix.
	Netflix probably has very little input.
	It's Spacey.
	You know, Spacey, probably gay.
	Well, good luck, Spacey.
	It's probably gay.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	It's not unheard of.
	Takes his mom to the Academy Awards.
	Come on.
	Okay to say.
	Okay to say.
	I don't think we've been fired.
	Yeah.
	Well, one more on Putin then, since we can just double back to him.
	Moscow will continue to provide military assistance to the Syrian government in its war with insurgents.
	That was the message Tuesday from Russian President Vladimir Putin right after he called Elton John while in Tajikistan.
	We have supported the Syrian government.
	I would like to say that, as it confronts a terrorist aggression, we have provided and will provide all the necessary military and technical support.
	And we call on other countries to join us.
	Moscow's been the key international ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the protracted Syrian conflict, saying it has military experts on the ground.
	But the U.S. believes Moscow wants to establish a forward operating airbase in Syria, prompting a warning earlier this week from State Department spokesman John Kirby that Russian military assistance won't help bring about a political solution to end the fighting.
	We still believe there's an opportunity to pursue that kind of transition in concert with Russian authorities.
	What will make it incredibly difficult to get there is continued support for the Assad regime from a military perspective.
	Moscow has come under increased international pressure in recent days to explain its moves in Syria.
	But all it has said so far is that continuing dialogue between Moscow and Washington is, quote, indispensable.
	I think they're screwing, and I know we've already talked about this in relation to the migrant crisis.
	Man, they are jackhammering out here.
	I think there's a real danger.
	And of course, this is Putin doing the same thing he did with the red line that Obama drew in.
	They said, oh, wait a minute, we'll get rid of all the chemical weapons.
	I'll take care of it.
	And they did it.
	And now Putin's coming in again because, of course, the port right there is a Russian, I'll just call it a property, if you will.
	But there's a real danger the way things are going.
	I think in that regard, Trump is right.
	They are so weak, certainly in Washington and the neocons, and I still want to know where the Kagans are in all of this.
	They're trying to do a replay of Ukraine, and that'll be a way that they can get Assad out.
	But there's a real danger that Russia will team up with Iran, will team up with China, And they're going to make...
	I think a new OPEC is a possibility amongst these countries.
	Now that we see...
	Was it Goldman Sachs who said oil could drop down to $20 a barrel?
	Do you think that's true?
	No.
	You don't think that's true?
	Goldman Sachs is the same people that said it's going to go to $200.
	Right.
	Right.
	But without a doubt, making America great again and becoming the number one energy producer doesn't really work when you have to pay $60 a barrel just to get it out of the ground with fracking, let alone causing all kinds of shit to happen.
	I think Putin is being so underestimated.
	To such a degree.
	You're talking about the migrant crisis.
	No, I'm talking about just what he actually can do with Iran, with China.
	Oh, you mean you think, okay, you're talking about Putin.
	Yeah, Putin.
	Putin specifically.
	You think it's underestimating him.
	Yes, but really, really underestimating him.
	Yeah.
	I think there is a possibility we can see.
	What would it take for Putin to become friends with the Saudis?
	He probably wants to.
	I mean, somebody was accusing him of wanting to do all that stuff.
	I forgot who.
	But it was during the debates or someplace else.
	They said, what if Putin does exactly what you said, becomes friends with the Saudis, and then warms up to the...
	I think it's a real possibility, John.
	Well, we seem to be distancing ourselves from the Saudis for some reason.
	Because they suck.
	They suck.
	They suck.
	They're a-holes.
	They behead people.
	They hate gays.
	I want to go back.
	I want to go back.
	I want to play the Rand Paul clip, which has some of these elements.
	I want to play it.
	The Rand Paul on war.
	The Trump administration spending $500 million to help create those Arab boots.
	There are only four or five U.S.-trained fighters in Syria fighting ISIS. What does that say to you about the effectiveness of the idea of the boots on the ground need to be Arab boots?
	If you want boots on the ground and you want them to be our sons and daughters, you've got 14 other choices.
	There will always be a Bush or Clinton for you if you want to go back to war in Iraq.
	But the thing is, the first war was a mistake, and I'm not sending our sons and our daughters back to Iraq.
	The war didn't work.
	We can amplify those who live there.
	The Kurds deserve to be armed, and I'll arm them.
	We can use our air force to amplify the forces there, but the boots on the ground need to be the people who live there.
	My goodness, I'm still upset with the Saudi Arabians for everything they do over there.
	They funded the arms that went to the jihadists.
	They're not accepting any of the people, any of the migrants that have been the refugees that are being pushed out of Syria.
	Saudi Arabia is not accepting one.
	Why are we always the world's patsies that we have to go over there and fight their wars for them?
	They need to fight their wars.
	We need to defend American interests.
	But it's not in America's national security interest to have another war in Iraq.
	We're going to turn to some Democrats.
	WTC 7 won't go away.
	Another fine Saudi operation.
	This is why Donald Trump can't be president.
	He's too nice.
	He doesn't understand that the core of what is running the United States are assholes.
	That's what he doesn't understand.
	He's like, yeah, I'll do a good deal with Putin.
	I'm sure he would, but that's not how it works.
	And I'm sure Putin at his core is an asshole.
	We're under a veil of, oh, it's all fucking unicorns.
	We're giving a picture that will allow us to go to work every day, work 40 hours a week, if we can get a job at all, because we haven't been able to find a way to change the economy in any major way.
	So we're going to have to have an upheaval.
	We refuse to do so, meaning a real depression.
	Which won't last that long, but it'll be nasty.
	What is not long, in your opinion?
	Year.
	Oh, that's not long at all.
	Year and a half?
	Well...
	It's time to call, man.
	It's time to call, John.
	Come on.
	It's time to call people.
	Call them what?
	Yeah, cull.
	Oh, cull.
	Yeah, it's time to cull.
	People need to die.
	Well, talking about culling, I think we should do my quick analysis.
	It's not going to be that quick, but it's quick enough.
	Of the Miss America Passion, which is an important event in the United States.
	It is important from a cultural perspective for setting the narrative and the tone.
	What were the ratings on this particular show?
	I didn't get the overnights.
	Gotcha.
	So, this show is deteriorated in a very broad way.
	They had this beginning, they do this goofball beginning, I want to just play a couple clips from it, where the girls come out and say some pun or something, and then they, while they introduce themselves, then they say something stupid, and then they dance around like a bunch of ninnies.
	At the very beginning, they're not wearing a lot of makeup.
	They're wearing some makeup, but not a lot of makeup, so you can kind of see what they actually look like.
	None of the girls are attractive except maybe New York.
	Hold on a second.
	I just got the overnights in.
	Now, this is why this is important.
	The Republican debate on CNN, 22.9 million viewers.
	The 2016 Miss America competition...
	39.7 million viewers.
	There you go.
	Merica, baby!
	Merica!
	Tits and ass over anything.
	Okay, so the women, when they were just kind of plain, even though they didn't have some makeup, New York was really the best-looking one.
	I thought Oregon looked good, and there was maybe four, but New York, they threw out because New York has won three times in a row, and this good-looking New York woman, they threw her out because they're sick of it.
	Somebody is running the New York branch of the Miss America Pass and knows what they're doing.
	Seriously.
	And they decided to bounce this one so they don't win again.
	It was getting embarrassing.
	So they brought all these women out.
	And this was a weird one.
	There was a lot of very heavy women.
	Oh, heavy?
	Heavy women.
	I think they could have announced many of them as tipping the scales out.
	Oh, really?
	Really?
	Like...
	Oh yeah, no.
	Weighing in at...
	Now, did you find them not to be attractive because they were tipping the scales?
	Well, when you saw the girls at the beginning, none of them were attractive.
	And the one who won, which is Miss Georgia, when you see her just in a normal state...
	She is a goof.
	You mean not when she's shape-shifting?
	Is that what you're saying?
	No, not when they're...
	I'm talking about full war paint, you know, makeup.
	When she just looked normal, she was a...
	And it makes nothing but sense when I explain why she won.
	They all look like porn stars.
	No.
	A lot of them were playing homely.
	I think there was borderline dwarfs.
	They had a couple of women that couldn't have been 4'10".
	And then they had some big tall women.
	It was really strange.
	I told you about the girl at Subway.
	Did I tell you that story?
	No.
	I walked in.
	She says, how tall are you?
	I went in for my sandwich.
	Yeah.
	How tall are you?
	5'17".
	She says, ha!
	Yeah, 6'5".
	I get it.
	I said, oh, not many people can do that math.
	She said, no, but I'm 4'9".
	And when I hit 21, I'm officially a dwarf.
	I'm like, really?
	She said, yeah.
	And I said, you know what you should do?
	You should get yourself one of those parking passes is what you should get.
	I said, yeah, that's a good idea.
	Yeah, there's probably some things you can take advantage of.
	Good idea.
	Yeah, good idea.
	So let's start with Miss America.
	Corny intros.
	No, not the corny one.
	Sorry, just the idiot.
	Wait a minute.
	No, do corny intros.
	No.
	Oh, shit.
	See, I missed a number of these.
	Okay, here it is.
	Miss A, idiotic intros.
	This shows you how they introduced themselves, how bad it was.
	Aloha!
	I grow up on the side of an active volcano, here to bring the heat and make you lava lava me.
	I'm Janae Capella, Miss Hawaii.
	From the state that brought you Napoleon Dynamite, don't vote for Pedro, vote for me.
	I'm Kaylee Wright, your Miss Idaho.
	From the birthplace of Walt Disney, I'm bringing the magic tonight.
	I'm Crystal Davis, Miss Illinois.
	Hold on, hold on, I'm enjoying.
	That brings you 20% of the U.S. popcorn supply.
	I am Morgan Jackson, Miss Indiana.
	By the way, I did learn something.
	I did not know 20% of the world's popcorn supply comes from Indiana.
	She was, by the way...
	I think that I should be able to replace my Amazon Echo with Miss Hawaii?
	And she should answer.
	Lava lava her.
	Lava lava.
	I will lava lava you, baby.
	Now, so they had all these dumb puns and stuff.
	Now, this one I thought was rude, lewd, uncalled for, and dirty.
	This is the Wisconsin WTF clip.
	Corny intros, Wisconsin.
	Okay, gotcha.
	Representing the Dairy State, come smell our derriere.
	I'm Rosalie Smith, Miss Wisconsin.
	Derriere?
	Come smell our derriere?
	Are you kidding me?
	It's a family show.
	There's nothing like kissing a lady's ass.
	Brother.
	Okay, so we get into the thing.
	Now, the talent thing is what Miss Georgia, who once she put her makeup on and they all came out in the swimsuit competition, there was a lot of thunder thighs.
	There's only two girls in there.
	Oh, how you condemn.
	You want me to do this or not?
	Fass is what it's called, John.
	Fass.
	Fast.
	Very fast.
	Florida and Oklahoma, good-looking Southern California, slender bikini, beautiful.
	The rest of them, including Georgia, were a little on the chubby side.
	Fast.
	Georgia was okay.
	But Georgia won.
	Here's how Georgia won.
	Clip.
	This is the Miss Talent.
	This is the talent.
	It says Talmud.
	Georgia.
	It blew everybody else out of the water with this.
	You have to play the whole thing.
	But she's an opera singer who wants to go on Broadway.
	So she's just a shoo-in.
	She's got the makeup on...
	She looks like a Broadway star already.
	She's typical of one of those goofy-looking women.
	You put the makeup on her and make her look like a Broadway star.
	She is gorgeous.
	An operatic vocal of Tutu Piccolo Edio.
	Here is Betty Cantrell, Miss Georgia.
	Damn!
	You can stop her.
	And she's also got a Broadway name, Betty Cantrell.
	Nice.
	Come on.
	Betty Cantrell.
	I guarantee this woman is a star.
	Ten years from now, she'll be like winning Tonys.
	And she's perfect.
	She's got the stage presence.
	She's beautiful.
	Even though she's goofy looking in reality.
	So then, just to show you, the range of, mostly people were dancing, and you can tell they're strippers, and they're dancing on the stage.
	And some of them sang okay, but not like this woman.
	But here's an example of Miss Mississippi.
	This is the other end of the spectrum for talent, and you can play this for as long as you can take it.
	And I cut right in the middle.
	This is Miss Mississippi on violin.
	Okay.
	Wow.
	You know, if you want to have a country band, you've got to have a fiddle.
	You've got to have a fiddle in the band.
	She wasn't playing fiddle, though.
	I know, I know.
	If she played a fiddle song, I'd be okay with it.
	But she was playing some piece, and it was just all over the place.
	It was terrible.
	The show itself had nothing but technical mishaps.
	People would be talking to the mic.
	It didn't come up.
	Here is an example of the technical mishap that took place where some guy, you could hear him at the very beginning.
	He says it about three times.
	And then when they pot down the band, you could hear him louder.
	And then it comes right through into the system and they cut him off.
	off somebody panics when a live show goes wrong and you know it can it can be a domino effect It just tumbles.
	Oh, it was dreadful.
	It was dreadful on this.
	If you heard that clip, I don't want to play it over and over, but you can hear at the beginning, you hear in the background saying, Oklahoma, move up a bit.
	Oklahoma, move up a bit.
	It goes up really loud.
	So he's trying to move Miss Oklahoma up.
	Alright, now the wrap.
	The wrap always with the question and answers.
	And Miss Georgia, who I thought was a shoe-in once she did her operatic song, she blows, completely blows the Q&A, which proves to me that it means nothing.
	This is Miss George.
	Wait, did she win?
	Yes, she won.
	Oh, okay.
	She should have won.
	And she's got that look that's perfect for Broadway.
	She's got big eyes.
	Her nose is like a Julie Andrews nose.
	It's actually kind of big, but it's attractive.
	And a monstrous smile.
	So she's perfect for the stage.
	I'm telling you, this woman's going to be a huge star.
	And but she didn't win based on the Q&A because I could tell she didn't know what the question was.
	She didn't know what they were talking about.
	I asked the question to Mimi and she didn't know what this was about because you have to be a sports fan.
	ABC, of course, is part of ESPN. So, yes, obviously, this is the Georgia.
	The winner does worse.
	New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was suspended for his part in a so-called deflate-gate scandal, then instated by the courts.
	Legalities aside, did Tom Brady cheat?
	I'm sorry.
	Can you repeat?
	I couldn't hear you.
	I'm sorry.
	New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was suspended for his part in a so-called Deflategate scandal, then reinstated by the courts.
	Legalities aside, did Tom Brady cheat?
	Did he cheat?
	That's a really good question.
	I'm not sure.
	I think I'd have to be there to see the ball and feel it and make sure it was deflated or not deflated.
	But if there was question there, then yes, I think he cheated.
	If there was any question to be had, I think that he definitely cheated and that he should have been suspended for that.
	That's not fair.
	Thank you.
	Any question to be had.
	Less than 10 minutes to go.
	Okay?
	So she blows it up.
	But she wins anyway, which proves to me.
	Now, I've got a few left.
	These are the questions that answer.
	All political.
	All political.
	And I'm going to give you a choice.
	You can pick any or all.
	Let me see.
	There must have been something about Planned Parenthood, I'm sure.
	Okay, hit it.
	Miss Q&A, Tennessee got the Planned Parenthood question based on what I consider to be a bunch of lies.
	All right.
	Well, Miss Vanessa Williams, you're up.
	Wait a minute.
	Vanessa Williams was there?
	She was a judge.
	Oh, didn't she get kicked out because she...
	And they apologized to her.
	Oh.
	Because she had lesbian pictures?
	Oh, jeez.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	Take a breath.
	It's a tough one.
	Some legislators are threatening to shut down the government over federal contributions to Planned Parenthood, even though no federal funds can be used for abortions.
	Should Planned Parenthood funding be cut off?
	This is like a Republican debate question.
	This is great.
	This is great.
	I don't think Planned Parenthood funding should be cut off.
	The $500 million that gets given to Planned Parenthood every single year goes to female care.
	It goes for scanning for cancer.
	It goes for mammograms.
	And if we don't give that funding to Planned Parenthood, those women will be out of healthcare for reproductive causes.
	Thank you.
	No.
	No.
	That's all covered under Obamacare.
	Right.
	Now, by the way, this woman in Tennessee, she knew this question.
	She knew this was coming.
	I don't know.
	Well, maybe she did, but she sure had her eyes were so bugged out and she had a little deer in the headlights.
	But you might be right.
	Now, the best one, I got a couple more.
	You got the Kim Davis question, which was a botch by the violinist from Mississippi.
	Black Lives Matter, which I think was well answered.
	I'd like the Black Lives Matter question, please, for $1,500.
	There you go.
	Miss Louisiana, the Black Lives Matter movement grew as a reaction to unarmed African Americans being killed by police.
	Now there are voices raised that call it a hate group and say it should be called All Lives Matter.
	What do you think?
	I believe that black lives matter.
	All lives matter.
	It shouldn't matter what we base our labels on.
	Everybody matters.
	And I think that we can stop all of the violence with police brutality, with body cameras, and making sure that all of our policemen are trained and ready to go into the field.
	Every life matters.
	No, no, no.
	We'd like to ask the candidate from Austin, Texas.
	I believe that no lives matter.
	Now, the one that I think was the absolute best because it got her taken right out of the top five.
	And not only that, but she was the only black candidate in the top five.
	But she was eliminated with this answer.
	This is Miss South Carolina.
	Beautiful woman.
	And she was also kind of a soul singer.
	She did some Aretha Franklin or something.
	I don't know what song she did, but she could sing.
	But...
	This, the way she handled this question with this douchebag who asked the question, just glared at her.
	It was outrageous.
	This is the Miss Kuna SC on guns.
	Your question will be for Amy Purdy.
	America loves our Second Amendment, but gun violence continues to be a tragic problem.
	Do you support a ban on military-style assault weapons?
	I don't, but I think it's because we need to increase education.
	We have to go back there.
	If we teach people the proper way to use guns, then we will reduce the risk of having gun-related accidents.
	It starts with education.
	Thank you so much.
	And this pretty woman, she gets thank you so much.
	She's glaring at her because she's like obviously some gun nut.
	I would like to put my stance on this.
	You know, besides the fact that we need mental hygiene for every citizen of the United States of Gitmo Nation, I would like a referendum.
	I would like a vote on repealing the Second Amendment.
	If we all say get rid of them, I'm good with it.
	If we don't, it's good to go.
	That's the answer.
	That's the answer.
	And it won't happen because we love our guns in America.
	Anyway, there's one last one if you want to play it.
	Which one is that?
	Because we never talk about this on the show because we think it's a local issue and it's dumb, which is the Kim Davis story.
	Yeah, I'll do the Kim Davis story.
	And so they play this.
	Again, this is the violinist that played off-key, and she answers this question in just kind of a, I don't know, just a bimbo-ish kind of way of dealing with it.
	Your question will come from Zendaya.
	Oh!
	Alright.
	Kentucky County Clerk Kim Davis was jailed for defying the Supreme Court's order to issue same-sex marriage licenses.
	She claims the order violates her religious freedom.
	Does it?
	It absolutely does not violate her religious freedom.
	That is her job that she was voted into doing and that law is a federal law throughout the rest of the country.
	So yes, she did violate the law there.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Make it stop.
	That's it.
	I got nothing else.
	It was another one of these pageants.
	I think a star is born for sure.
	And I learned that 20% of the popcorn comes from Indiana.
	I had no idea.
	And I like smelling her derriere.
	Her derriere.
	That's a good one.
	Derriere.
	Well, I got something just...
	Just to play us out.
	We haven't done any Agenda 2030 stuff yet.
	It's now moved from Agenda 21 to 2030.
	You know how we've been tracking...
	The president is a big offender of this.
	Talking about carbon pollution when discussing man-made climate change.
	Oh, by the way, for a second...
	Shouldn't it be Xer made climate change?
	Or Xer made climate change?
	Xer.
	Yeah.
	Women don't make climate change, only man...
	Yeah, what is the reason for just calling it man-made?
	Yeah, shouldn't it be Zer-Z? Shatner crapper, Zem, where no man has gone before.
	Yeah, yeah, it should be Zem.
	Zem-made.
	This is a scandal.
	Zer-made.
	Zer-made.
	That's X-I-R. Zer-made climate change.
	XIR. XIR. So, we have in the...
	This was somewhere on the Hill.
	It is Representative...
	Is it Edie?
	I think it's Edie Bernice Johnson.
	Woman from...
	Mostly Democrat.
	And she's talking to a Texas environmental organization, you know, like an industry group guy, and he is testifying about zero-made climate change.
	And just to show you how this type of propagandistic speaking works, when you move from global warming to climate change, or to man-made climate change, to climate change to carbon pollution.
	This is what happens.
	And you have people who are elected officials.
	This woman, she's probably not in my district.
	She's probably not in Texas.
	But whoever is responsible for Bernice Johnson needs to vote her out because she's a moron.
	Last year, Parkland Hospital had a billion dollars of uncompensated care.
	Children's Hospital had about a third of that.
	Many of the conditions are respiratory-related, which are also related to environmental contamination.
	Have you factored in the cost that it would take the state?
	And this is, I should add, the Texas industry group is arguing against EPA regulations, which, you know, what is it, 33% reduction in all power produced by nasty-ass coal plants, etc., to combat 33% reduction in all power produced by nasty-ass coal plants, etc., to And he's saying, well, no, the EPA is outside of their statute here, etc.
	And she's saying, oh, wait a minute, we have respiratory issues.
	To continue to afford this kind of health care cost, with most of our people being poor, that are living in low-income areas, that are damaged more frequently by these heavy environmental violations.
	Congresswoman, the Clean Power Plan is directed at reducing greenhouse gases, which do not impact the respiratory issues.
	The co-benefits that are claimed in the rule...
	Wait a minute.
	Repeat what you just said.
	The co-benefits, in other words, the rule is based on reducing the greenhouse gas...
	I know what the rule says, but you said it does not impact respiratory?
	That's correct.
	Greenhouse gas emissions do not have an adverse impact on respiratory health.
	High CO2 levels do not cause respiratory issues.
	I know it's easy to make that conclusion because some of the rhetoric from EPA sort of suggests that the Clean Power Plan is going to, by reducing greenhouse gases, lead to improvement in respiratory conditions.
	That's not due to reductions of CO2. What is it due to?
	It's due to their co-benefits.
	They're suggesting that the process that they're mandating to reduce greenhouse gases will also accidentally, if you will, or at the same time, likely cause reduction in other emissions that they do perceive to cause respiratory impacts.
	The challenge with that, though, is that they're actually assuming that it's going to provide health benefits, even though your area is already in attainment for the PM2.5 standard, yet they're assuming that reducing PM2.5 even lower leads to health Even though their standards say that Houston area is already meeting the standard and therefore we're not having adverse health effects associated with PM2.5.
	Okay, so that sounds pretty obvious what's going on here.
	Is it saying, well, it'll stop pollution?
	Well, yeah, but we already have rules for that.
	You don't need to be reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
	And then she, of course, goes to the science department.
	That's my concern, is that it's misleading whenever they've told us that you're going to have these health benefits associated with this rule.
	Most of those are unsubstantiated.
	The areas where there could be a benefit to those areas that are non-attainment for ozone or something along those lines, those are being addressed through other rules, and we're making strides to comply with those regulations.
	So CO2 does not lead to respiratory challenges.
	So you're saying that it has absolutely nothing to do with the health status, that the science that has indicated that is not pure science?
	Climate change impact and benefit of this rule is so small as to be unquantifiable.
	So would we continue to see climate change with a lot of flooding?
	A lot of air contamination.
	This is not going to impact health.
	This is the takeaway, John.
	Climate change has extreme weather.
	Children can't breathe.
	This is what happens.
	This is the education that these people are getting, and they're all in on it.
	You know, if you're going to get depressed about stuff, you should get more depressed about this sort of thing.
	Oh, no.
	Rather than the Second Civil War.
	Oh, no.
	Oh, no.
	I'm depressed about this.
	This is Flocka, just one of the inexpensive synthetic drugs ravaging South Florida.
	And there's a new twist that's making fighting these drugs even harder.
	E-cigarettes or vaporizer pens.
	Lieutenant Ozzy Tianga says vaping drugs is so discreet, teens can do it right in school.
	Oh!
	There's no scent.
	They sit in the back of the room, and they think it's funny, and they're vaping.
	And what they're vaping, I cannot determine.
	Now, let me tell you.
	If you're going to...
	Okay.
	If you're going to...
	Wait.
	If you're going to play these clips, that clip, which you played already?
	No.
	Well, I sure heard it somewhere.
	See, I believe that this particular clip that I have on synthetic drugs, which is a better anti-drug clip, because it has people screaming.
	Oh, well, screaming people is always better.
	There's no doubt.
	We now switch to Studio B. John, back to you, John.
	We have a clip for you.
	Today, police and federal agents broke up an international ring that sold cheap but toxic synthetic marijuana.
	In two months, 2,300 people have ended up in emergency rooms in New York alone.
	And Jim Axelrod is investigating.
	In the last 24 hours, Agen sees two warehouses full of synthetic drugs in the Bronx.
	One of the largest raids ever.
	But with New York drug rings producing more than a quarter million packets of synthetic marijuana, today's bust is just a small dent in the problem.
	This is one of the brands that is kind of very popular right now among synthetic drug users.
	Eduardo Chavez is with the DEA. Over the last several years, our special testing labs have identified over 400 new synthetic drugs.
	400?
	Absolutely.
	Known by names like K2 or Spice, the synthetics are designed to mimic marijuana, but with far more powerful effects.
	I have had routine heroin users tell me that they've tried Spice one time and hated it, were so scared of it that they would never try it again.
	The chemicals used to make the drugs are legally imported from China.
	They're sprayed onto ground up plants here and then smoked.
	It's cheap and easy to find.
	And it also sounds like it's really good.
	I love it.
	CBS knows how to produce a package.
	That's really fantastic, man.
	Those guys are good.
	They're good.
	They're good.
	All right, then I will do my Big Pharma Paxil report on Sunday, which flows right into this, because when you no longer have a prescription for these groovy SSRIs, That's when you start to look at things like Flocka and Spice and anything.
	Anything you can get.
	That's right.
	All right.
	By the way, if you listen to that package, it was a subtle plug for heroin in there.
	Oh, yeah.
	Not so subtle, actually.
	Oh, well, it seems subtle.
	Yeah.
	Please...
	Think of us at Dvorak.org slash NA for support for the Sunday show.
	And the I Love Laundry Tour, ilovelaundrytour.com.
	The video is now up.
	You can take a look at that, where the meetups will be.
	And, well, we're taking the show on the road.

	Believe me, I don't need to drive six hours a day for my health.
	Although it's going to be better for my mental hygiene because I get to think about the Civil War.
	Coming to you from the center of Antebellum 2.0.
	In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	You should stop at some Civil War battle sites.
	Anyway, I'm John C. Dvorak.
