	I didn't violate anything.
	Adam Couric, John C. Devorak.
	It's Sunday, October 18th, 2015.
	Time once again for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 766.
	This is no agenda.
	Fighting self-radicalized spores of mold and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone, Star State, here in FEMA Region 6, Austin Tejas.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where there's no mold up here, there's no rain either.
	Well, maybe there is in Southern California.
	I'm John C. Devorak.
	It's crackpot and buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Yeah, to start it off, I'm going to do something you announce no longer to do in the newsletter.
	I announced something no longer to do.
	Yeah, you said you would no longer be shaking the rain stick.
	Yeah, no, I said it.
	There you go.
	Amen.
	That's right.
	I need it.
	I need it.
	I need rain.
	I need rain.
	I need rain real bad.
	It's broadcast.
	You don't have to do it over the air.
	And that's the only way it works.
	For some reason, whenever we use these rain sticks made by rain stick lady Sherry Osborne, it works.
	You were shaking your rain stick not two episodes ago.
	And what happens?
	Mud slides.
	Mud slides in California.
	Yeah.
	Those were the craziest mudslides.
	They just came down and they just covered the freeway with mud.
	People couldn't move.
	It was like three feet deep of mud.
	No, six feet.
	Five to six feet.
	Well, yeah.
	There was a lot of mud.
	I need rain here because that's the only thing that will relieve me of this mold allergy.
	It's crazy.
	I was trying to find something about this mold allergy, which you claim is common.
	You claim, I use the word claim, which is a propagandistic term.
	In Austin.
	You claim that Austin, Texas is like, according to you, the mold capital of the world.
	I've never said that.
	I've never said that.
	I said that.
	I made it more dramatic than you.
	Just listen to my voice.
	It's dramatic enough.
	It sounds fine.
	Here's what happens.
	Even though I'm taking everything that I should, I think it's because I'm up 15 floors and there's construction everywhere.
	And these mold spores, they just grab all this gunk and you can't combat it.
	And what happens is...
	Don't you have air conditioning with a HEPA filter?
	I have HIPA filters.
	I've got extra filters in the house.
	I have to also go outside from time to time.
	I'm okay if I sit in the house, kind of, but I fall asleep during the day.
	I keel over.
	I'm not kidding.
	This is horrible.
	You said that's age.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	That's not age.
	Thanks.
	Thank you, friend.
	No!
	This is really crap.
	It's really bad.
	Let's start at the beginning.
	Every year you go through this, ever since you moved to Austin, And I've never had allergy issues in my life before I moved to Austin.
	Right.
	It's apparent that something is overwhelming your system, and your system is confused by it.
	Thank you, Dr.
	Dvorak.
	Yes, you're welcome.
	This would be the mold and, what is it, oaks?
	Well, mold is the only thing that's really bad for me, but when you add ragweed, grass, elm, fall elm, it's all coming at the same time.
	And so I got really congested and of course that has now gone into my chest.
	So now I'm coughing like I have...
	Have you tried meditation?
	What do you think this show is all about?
	I'm meditating for the next two and a half hours right here.
	No, it's crap.
	What kind of mold?
	What kind of mold?
	I don't know.
	They don't specify.
	Oh, that's not right.
	Oh, okay.
	I'll tell you what it is.
	I don't know if people care about this.
	All I'm saying is you have to carry the show.
	Okay.
	Here, I have it right here.
	Let's talk about comic books.
	Here it is.
	Alternaria.
	What is that?
	I don't know.
	It says Mold Alternaria.
	I don't know.
	Anyway, so it's bad, and I'm feeling it has low energy.
	Low T. Well, that's different.
	Alternaria is a genus of ascomyceti fungi.
	That's what it is.
	Alternative species are known as major plant pathogens.
	They are also common allergens in humans.
	Did you say let's talk about comic books?
	Wow, you are slow.
	Mm-hmm.
	That wasn't even 10 beats.
	That was more like a half a minute.
	Forget about it.
	As major plat pathogens, they're also common allergens growing indoors and causing hay fever or hypersensitivity reactions that sometimes lead to asthma.
	And death.
	They readily...
	Anal leakage.
	They readily cause opportunistic infections, which is what you have with your chest now.
	Mm-hmm.
	And immunocompromised people, well, especially in AIDS patients.
	Well, I'm not immunocompromised.
	No, but it sounds like this thing is nasty.
	Yeah, it's nasty.
	It's very nasty.
	So if it rains, then that goes away and I'll be good to go in a day or two.
	So that's why.
	I'm going to do it again.
	I'm going to look into this.
	Rain!
	Well, after four years, finally you care about my well-being?
	Well, you're the sickest you've ever been.
	Even though you still sound good.
	People don't realize how you can be sick as a dog and you get on the radio, Hi, I'm Adam Curry.
	I can be sick as a dog.
	I can be going through incredible personal strife.
	You'd never know it!
	Now, you're a consummate pro.
	Thank you very much.
	I don't know what consummate means.
	I don't know, but that's what I am.
	Let's start off the day, then, with a little update on...
	Our mission to F Germany?
	Let's see how everything's going with Volkswagen.
	The quicker the cleanup, the quicker the recovery.
	But for German authorities, it hasn't come fast enough at VW. Industry watchdog KBA has ordered the company to recall 2.4 million vehicles after reportedly rejecting its proposal to leave it up to customers.
	But City's Christian Schultz thinks they're doing the right thing.
	There is a balance to be struck between clearing it up as quickly as possible, but at the same time to be as thorough as possible in order to get a clearer picture of what it will actually cost in the end.
	VW has set aside 6.5 billion euros, but some analysts think the final cost will be five times that, as refits, fines and lawsuits continue to mount.
	Italy, the latest to pile on the pressure, with simultaneous police raids on VW's Verona headquarters and the offices of Lamborghini.
	As if things couldn't get any worse, the company's just lost one of its most trusted directors, Winfried Farland, the man poised to take over VW's North American arm, has quit, citing differences over the division's operations.
	Ah, business is fine.
	Lamborghini's owned by...
	I didn't know, yeah, I didn't know that.
	But there's no Lamborghini diesel, as far as I know.
	I need one.
	Give me a diesel Lambo.
	I wonder what that's about.
	I saw Lambo on the freeway.
	You know, the first thing you kind of think, for some reason, every time I see one of these, that level of car, Ferrari's not so much.
	I mean, I think they're just cool looking cars, but Lambos are very Lambo.
	And they're called Lambos.
	What color was it?
	Yellow.
	Did it have a midget in bikini driving?
	No, they didn't have a midget, but there was a girl, a not blonde enough girl in the passenger seat, and some douchebag, obviously, has to be a douchebag.
	You can be driving one, apparently, in the passenger seat.
	And I remember, I was on one of these, you know, just some comment forms.
	I'm going, reading through the comments for the humor of it, of it all.
	It's one of the great pleasures of modern life.
	Mm-hmm.
	And they're talking about the Bugatti Veyron, which is very hard to say.
	By the way, Lamborghini has big diesel tractors.
	Yes.
	So that's what that would be for.
	They also have some sort of screwy SUV that's unusual.
	So the guy just says about the Bugatti Veyron, he says, if I saw one of those on the road, I'd T-bone it.
	Really?
	As if anyone would, but I don't know why that comment struck me as funny, but every time I see a Lamborghini, I feel like I should T-bone it.
	Maybe I've been programmed or something.
	Anyway, I didn't.
	I was on the freeway.
	I couldn't do that anyway.
	It'd be too odd.
	Well, anyway, so it's just fine.
	I mean, Volkswagen, these guys are dead in the water.
	This is really bad.
	Well, I don't know how they're going to recover from this, but they will because they're...
	That's the German spirit to overcome?
	It's because it's one of these...
	It's a state symbol.
	Oh, yeah.
	State symbols.
	Although state symbols have folded.
	There was a couple of companies in Canada, I think...
	What was the one that was the big networking company?
	I've already forgotten their name.
	In Germany?
	No, in Canada.
	Oh, I don't know.
	And I always felt that they'd always be in business because it was a symbol of Canadian pride.
	And even if they were going bankrupt, the Canadians would keep propping them up like we do with our banks.
	Apparently, you know, Citibank is American pride, Bank of America.
	Is that Nortel?
	Yeah, Nortel.
	Nortel, yeah.
	Great company.
	Ahead of its time.
	Made some mistakes, went broke.
	And I never felt they would.
	I thought they would always be prompted by the government.
	I think that Europeans are a little more likely to do this.
	So Volkswagen looks to me to be something that could be close to failure and a huge opportunity for investing.
	You mean investing in Volkswagen?
	Yeah.
	I think it has to go down.
	We have to see more craziness.
	Oh, no, it's not tomorrow.
	Okay.
	Will you give us the signal when it's time to invest?
	I'm not really a person that can legally do that.
	All right.
	I can say that I bought some.
	Really?
	You have?
	No, I didn't.
	Oh, okay.
	I can say that I had.
	When you do, let us know.
	Yeah.
	I will.
	Meanwhile, just sticking with Italy, you know John Kerry, he always likes to speak the language of the country where he's in.
	This is his thing.
	This is his Atlanticist slash globalist cred.
	It's his cred.
	Hey, I speak your language.
	So he's talking like this.
	Well, that's interesting you throw out some very poor version of an Italian accent.
	That's exactly what he did, except I don't know what he was thinking.
	And please pay attention to the audio.
	This is so typical.
	Usually it's the Mexican radio stations.
	We've talked about this many times in the past.
	Although Italians, when I hear them on the ham radio bands, also like to have that big, booming, just over-modulated sound.
	You know?
	5%!
	5%!
	Secure, secure, secure DX! Secure, secure, secure DX! Yeah, I know what you mean.
	So they gave Kerry that sound.
	Senz'altro, per aver battuto tutti il record con la creazione di un pizza lunga quasi due chilometri.
	Che merda!
	Do you know what he just said?
	Something about going to the bathroom.
	Well, you know, he said, Americans don't know how to make pizzas.
	They're shitty.
	They're shit-alicious, I think was the direct translation.
	He said, yeah, merda, merda, merda.
	He said, our pizzas are shit, shit-alicious.
	I don't think he meant to say that.
	So he's up there cussing in the native language?
	Yeah!
	Is this supposed to impress anyone?
	I don't know, but they gave him the full Monty.
	They gave him the overmodulation.
	He got to say something stupid.
	And the slight echo.
	The echo was a nice touch, I agree.
	Yeah, that makes me sound totally like Tijuana, Mexico.
	Hey, come on, Kerry.
	You can't be slamming our pizzas.
	Who invented Domino's?
	Come on, man.
	That's no good.
	I've had pizza in Italy.
	I've had pizza in Milan.
	I've had pizza in Venice.
	I've had pizza...
	When you go to Italy sometimes, you have pizza, you have cappuccino.
	Cappuccino is far superior to anything we do.
	But I don't see that the pizzas are that much different.
	No, I don't know why.
	Why would you say that?
	Why would you say something?
	Just because you're speaking Italian or whatever?
	You're going to say, oh, I'm so happy to be here because we have shit pizzas.
	They're shitty-licious.
	Maybe the pizzas that he has in New Haven, Connecticut or wherever he's from, Massachusetts, are crappy.
	I mean, there are bad pizzas everywhere, but there's good pizza.
	You can find there's one guy in San Francisco over here.
	I'm just reporting on it.
	He's in international competitions with the Italians, and he consistently beats them.
	Here's the Italian Prime Minister commenting on the American pizza.
	Oh my gosh!
	Can you see that juice?
	I can't help myself.
	All right.
	Well, that probably goes, that probably goes, that should go along with the other clip, which is about pizza, if you really think about the all-purpose clip.
	Play that.
	Oh, all-purpose clip.
	Okay.
	I've not heard this, so I don't know if it goes along.
	Get behind me, Jason!
	Down with the devil!
	Okay.
	Down with the fraud!
	Get out of the road!
	Get behind me!
	You understand that?
	Get out of the road, New World Order!
	Get out of my mind!
	Get out of my free will!
	Get out of my way!
	Humanity is going interstellar.
	All righty, good.
	What's going on in the world, John?
	Well, they're turning the heat up on the bombing of the hospital.
	Yeah.
	And it's interesting the different approaches to the network, because I'm still doing the 3x3.
	Oh, wait.
	We have to do our 3x3.
	Where is it?
	Yes, here we go.
	George C. The Blacks.
	Three, five, three.
	Week 72.
	So I was watching the 3x3, and NBC seems to be the one going after it with the war crimes theme.
	Everybody else is very casual.
	They don't even talk about it to any extent.
	And ABC, for example, ran a...
	I wish I had a clip of it.
	I knew I made a clip.
	It's not in here.
	But they had a very short piece on the most recent information saying that the investigators coming in from the U.S. and Afghanistan took an armored personnel vehicle to come in to do their investigation and rammed it through a wall destroying evidence.
	Yeah.
	And the Doctors Without Borders, they're pissed.
	They're really beside themselves with anger.
	You don't see a lot of that.
	The news people aren't talking much about it.
	But NBC seems to be on this and they seem to be pushing it.
	So let's play the NBC on the hospital bombing updates.
	The word or the words phrase war crimes is mentioned twice.
	...delivered today's solemn news on troop levels there.
	We learned potentially shocking new details...
	About the U.S. airstrike on an Afghan hospital there earlier this month, including new information about the crew of the gunship questioning the order that resulted in the deaths of so many civilians.
	Our Pentagon correspondent, Jim Mikliszewski, is working that story for us tonight and has fresh details.
	The evidence was undeniable.
	The hospital run by Doctors Without Borders and Kunduz was in flames, devastated by a U.S. airstrike, killing at least 24 hospital staff and patients.
	The airstrike was carried out by an AC-130 gunship.
	NBC News has learned that cockpit recordings revealed that the crew actually questioned whether the airstrike was legal.
	And a defense official said today it may in fact amount to a war crime.
	Hold on a second.
	They have cockpit recordings?
	How come we haven't heard these?
	Why is that being withheld?
	I know why.
	We've seen these conversations.
	The helicopter gunship.
	Like, alright, I see some sand bunnies.
	Kill them, kill them, kill them, kill them.
	Go, go, go, go.
	Yeah, it's a little embarrassing.
	But that's war.
	That's war.
	That's war.
	For three days, the U.S. military failed to acknowledge innocent civilians were killed.
	With this chess thing, I can do all those over-modulated things really well.
	It's working for me.
	The airstrike was then called to eliminate the Taliban threat, and several civilians were accidentally struck.
	Finally, four full days after the strike, the U.S. commander for Afghanistan, General John Campbell, admitted the worst.
	The hospital was mistakenly struck.
	We would never intentionally target a protected medical facility.
	But a preliminary investigation indicates the U.S. military forces apparently failed to follow strict rules of engagement in identifying the target.
	Defense officials also acknowledged Doctors Without Borders called the Pentagon in the middle of the airstrike to report the hospital was under attack.
	But it's not clear that message ever reached the forces in Afghanistan.
	Military and defense officials are closely examining those cockpit recordings.
	And according to one official, if the crew knew the target was a hospital filled with civilians and launched the attack anyway, that's a war crime.
	Let me see.
	This is a clip that I had two shows ago, a press conference from the Doctors Without Borders.
	Our organization is calling for independent fact-finding investigation to ascertain the truth about the events that led to the killing of our colleagues and patients by U.S. airstrikes on one of our hospitals in Kunduz, Afghanistan.
	Today we say enough.
	Even war has rules.
	In Kunduz, our patients burned in their beds.
	Our doctors, nurses, and other staff were killed as they worked.
	Our colleagues had to operate on each other.
	The attack on the MSF hospital in Kunduz was the biggest loss of life for our organization in an airstrike.
	It is precisely because attacking hospitals in war zones is prohibited that we expect it to be protected.
	And yet 10 patients, including 3 children, and 12 of our staff were killed in the aerial raids.
	The facts and circumstances of this attack must be investigated independently and impartially, particularly given the inconsistencies in the U.S. and Afghan accounts of what happened over recent days.
	We are calling on President Obama to consent to the Fact-Finding Commission.
	Doing so will send a powerful signal of the U.S. government's commitment to and respect for international humanitarian law and the rules of war.
	This is not only about the deaths of our staff and patients in Kunduz, it is about the safety and security of our medical teams around the world working in conflict zones.
	Today we are fighting back for the respect of the Geneva Conventions.
	As a medical humanitarian organization, we are fighting back for the sake of our patients.
	I'm not sure about anything, but I did hear today a report, which I didn't clip because it was just boring information, but the information is valid that this hospital was indeed annotated in whatever GPS database there is.
	So this was known.
	And you can't help but think it's related to the President's announcement.
	Today I want to update the American people on our efforts.
	This is his change of strategy in Afghanistan.
	I mean, he's standing here with Vice President Biden and Ash Carter, who has like a shit-eating grin on his face.
	Did you see this?
	He's just, he's like, he's like kind of smirking.
	Very, very unnerving to watch him.
	...the lead for security earlier this year.
	Afghan forces have continued to step up.
	This has been the first fighting season where Afghans have largely been on their own.
	I love this fighting season.
	Do we have an actual date of, you know, month to month yet on the fighting season?
	Curiously, they've talked about this before, and there is indeed a fighting season, because when the snow hits, they don't fight anymore.
	Right, but so are we now in fighting?
	Is fighting season now over?
	I think there's preseason.
	One of the playoffs.
	Preseason game, then the playoffs.
	And they are fighting for their country bravely and tenaciously.
	It's funny, if you just replace the words Afghanistan with, I don't know, you could replace it with Chicago, the Cubs.
	Who's the other team?
	Is it the Mets?
	We have the Cubs, the Mets on one side, and then the Toronto team along with the...
	You can just replace Afghanistan with Chicago each time.
	In many different reports.
	The bottom line is, in key areas of the country, the security situation is still very fragile.
	What are we going to do?
	And in some places, there's risk of deterioration.
	What are we going to do?
	Following consultations with my entire national security team.
	Consultations.
	Hmm.
	As well as our international partners and members of Congress, President Ghani and Chief Executive Abdullah.
	Okay.
	I'm therefore announcing the following steps, which I am convinced offer the best possibility for lasting progress in Afghanistan.
	Here we go.
	First, I've decided to maintain our current posture of 9,800 troops in Afghanistan.
	So much for the drawdown.
	2016.
	Second, I've decided that instead of going down to a normal embassy presence in Kabul by the end of 2016, we will maintain 5,500 troops at a small number of bases at Magram, Jalalabad in the east, and Kandahar in the south.
	Yeah, so this smells.
	And looking at Ash Carter's face, there's something...
	I think it's possible the president just does not have control of this situation with the military.
	Maybe.
	I mean, wasn't this the whole idea was to draw down to zero?
	We're out.
	The war is over.
	The war's not over when you've got 10,000 troops still left.
	The war's not over when you get 5,500 still left.
	We're armed and shooting and blowing up hospitals.
	Yeah.
	Well, so I think that maybe they wanted to pivot to this change, which is, I mean, come on, this is a...
	I don't know how blowing up the hospital would allow you to do that.
	Well, if you could blame it on somebody else...
	They're not going to do that.
	Well, no.
	Something happened...
	Maybe, I don't know, I'm just saying that it's possible that this was supposed to be blamed on somebody else and somebody...
	The real mistake is that someone goofed up.
	The real mistake was going to Afghanistan in the first place, even though everyone was a cheerleader for it, because supposedly the Taliban, not the Taliban, but the...
	Yeah.
	And Laden was hanging out there, so let's go bomb Afghanistan.
	And everyone who's even a peace dick, oh, yeah, well, that was the one good idea.
	Iraq was a bad idea, but Afghanistan was a good idea, even though when it began, if anyone remembers back in 2001, 2002, when it began, everyone says, don't do it, because everyone who ever tries to do anything in Afghanistan gets bogged down.
	They can't get out.
	It costs billions and billions of dollars.
	It brought down the Russian-Soviet empire, some people believe.
	It almost ruined the English empire when they were in there.
	Why are we doing it?
	Don't do it.
	It's a bad idea.
	Find some alternative plan.
	Why are we doing it, then?
	Well, we did it, and now we're stuck there, just like everyone said we would be.
	14 years, we're in this stupid country, you know, doing what?
	What's the point besides guarding the poppies?
	You could do that in other ways.
	Yeah.
	Well, I think if you go look at these bases where we're going to have the 5,500 troops, which, you know, part of it is for the embassy, but you'll see that around all those bases is where the poppy fields are.
	Now, we've gone down in production, as we heard on the last show with one of your clips.
	Yes, weather clips and weather clips, weather issues.
	Yeah, right.
	Well, that's what they say.
	It's possible they have weather.
	Yeah.
	No, we know the Mexicans have taken over.
	They're growing poppies in Mexico.
	You're right.
	I forgot about the Mexicans.
	Yeah, the Mexicans are...
	So do you think maybe we're back on track to squeeze the Mexicans out?
	Get them out of our drug business?
	It's a big deal.
	The drugs is a big deal.
	That's a lot of our economy.
	I think one of the little kind of no agenda, we should put together a fact and put stuff like this in it, but one of the little no agenda, I wouldn't call it a fact, it's like a thesis that you developed.
	I didn't think of it, but is that the banks are propped up by this.
	Yeah, by the money laundering.
	Money laundering is what keeps the big banks afloat.
	So let's...
	HSBC! Right, so HSBC, on the board, when they're in the middle of this money-laundering scandal, we had James Comey was on the board of directors, now he is director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, and he's the one that we heard testified.
	This is not under Homeland Security, we correct ourselves.
	Oh, is that true?
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	No, they're part of the Department of Justice.
	They work for Loretta Lynn.
	Do they take directions directly from her?
	Yeah.
	So, of course.
	Anyway, so we know that the banks are complicit.
	We've got a complicit bank director, now director of the FBI, and he's the one that's complaining about the Mexicans having all the turf, growing the poppies, bringing in the heroin.
	Yeah, we can't have that.
	So he could be protected.
	Although it's still good for the banks.
	The banks still make out with the Mexicans.
	With the money laundering.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, but we don't control them.
	We have to control them.
	For the benefit of the banks, my friend.
	It's for the banks.
	If somebody else wants to help the banks out, that's good.
	Okay.
	Although you'd think that it's also, I mean, we also have a thesis that goes way back, and I don't want to be reminiscing here on the show, although from the last donations that we got, might as well, since we did a really fantastic show.
	The last show was outrageous.
	It was, I think, one of the best shows we've done in six months.
	For sure.
	Didn't result in anything.
	So reminiscing's okay.
	The idea that the banks are part of this cabal of drug usage and all the rest of it, I think we've discussed it a lot.
	I think there's ample evidence, and even if you go in and take a look at search.nashownotes.com, you can find a lot of these articles that we discussed, specifically regarding the United States economy being propped up by drug money.
	It's big!
	Look, I know what I spend on drugs.
	Well, the one thing that hurts...
	Like Sudafed, Benadryl.
	So the one thing that's overlooked, of course, if they let the Mexicans just take over and the banks do well, is the black budget for the CIA. I mean, that is a big budget.
	If you step back far enough, it looks as if every other person in the United States somehow gets...
	A check from the CIA for something.
	Except us.
	Especially after the last show, you'd think that we'd get more Virginia-based donations, but we didn't.
	And that money's not coming from the taxpayers.
	I saw a report that...
	Where was this?
	It was something about...
	Maybe it's still the OPM database.
	The personal information, and I don't know if it's true or not, is now being offered to ISIS so they can root out these people?
	Well, there's this story that showed up, which I have a clip of.
	Where is this clip?
	Where is this clip?
	I don't know.
	Tech News.
	Oh, this is a tech.
	We'd have to go to Tech News.
	No, no, we can't do that.
	It's too early.
	No, no, skip it.
	It won't be Tech News.
	Play it because it's not that techy.
	This is the Kosovo hacker, who supposedly is behind the OPM hacker.
	Turn now to breaking news out of Malaysia.
	Word of an arrest that could involve the personal information of U.S. service members.
	The Department of Justice tonight announcing a suspected hacker from Kosovo under arrest now for helping ISIS. Authorities saying he stole personal information belonging to U.S. service members and federal employees.
	The U.S. now trying to extradite him back to America.
	Yeah, that's the guy.
	That's the guy they see.
	Why did they rephrase the story so much, so radically?
	They radically rephrased the story.
	This is the massive OPM hack.
	Let me listen to it again.
	We turn now to breaking news out of Malaysia.
	Word of an arrest that could involve the personal information of US service members.
	The Department of Justice tonight announcing a suspected hacker from Kosovo under arrest now for helping ISIS. Authorities saying he stole personal information belonging to US service members and federal employees.
	The US now trying to extradite him back to America.
	I think if you go on Twitter and you look at the No Agenda Quotes account...
	I think you'll see that either you or I said, now that we have migrants everywhere, anything can and will be blamed on ISIS. And here it is.
	So now what you're saying is, and I think you're right, they've now turned this from the Office of Personnel Management, who had millions of Over 4 million.
	Yeah, background information, checks on, and all of the, you know, personalized forms that they have to fill out, which that breach occurred.
	CIA agents?
	Yes.
	Even if you didn't become, and even if you weren't hired, your vetting information is still there.
	Background checks, all kinds of nasty stuff.
	Now it's become ISIS. This is kind of a minor hack.
	Oh, a few people that were in the armed forces.
	That's unbelievable.
	They downplayed it.
	That's unbelievable.
	It's interesting, though, that this is now being pointed at Kosovo.
	And these things...
	I picked up a report on Kosovo.
	Have you been following what's been happening in the parliament in Kosovo?
	No.
	This is great.
	For the second week in a row, opposition members gassed Kosovo's parliament.
	Tear gas!
	They're throwing tear gas in the parliament chambers.
	They're trying to scuttle a deal that would grant ethnic Serbian enclaves in Kosovo greater autonomy.
	Opposition politicians claim the EU-brokered deal undermines the sovereignty of Kosovo, which declared independence from Serbia in 2008.
	Belgrade has refused to recognize the small nation ever since.
	On Monday, police fought running battles with stone-throwing protesters who demanded the release of the parliamentarian who set off gas in the chamber last week.
	A block of opposition parties vows to continue disrupting parliament until the deal with Serbia is defeated.
	That may just be coincidental, but perhaps it's time for some regime change.
	If we have, you know, it's a Kosovo hacker, we've got people gassing each other in Parliament.
	Well, this is no coincidence, right?
	Something's up.
	We have to now...
	Now we've got to take a look at Kosovo.
	Something's going on with Kosovo.
	Where's Noodleman?
	Yeah, where is she?
	Let's see.
	You know, it wouldn't surprise me if Newland is in Kosovo.
	Hold on.
	If she's there, I'm going to...
	Let's see.
	Boom, boom, boom, boom.
	I don't see anything offhand.
	Newland.
	Where is she anyway?
	Newland on crisis visits Kosovo.
	Yay!
	Newland to press Serbia on talks with Kosovo.
	Yay!
	Assistant Secretary Newland travels to Kosovo.
	Yay!
	Well, now we know.
	Okay, so we have the hacker story.
	Kosovo triggers your thought.
	Kosovo being gassed.
	And now, just by coincidence, it's like looking up oil.
	Yeah.
	She's all over.
	She's all over.
	She is the front man.
	She is the advanced man.
	She runs the intelligence department at State.
	Right, the little agency that we've got.
	Yeah.
	Huh.
	Okay.
	All eyes on Kosovo, everybody.
	Keep your eyes out.
	Something's up.
	Yeah.
	You heard it first on No Agenda.
	Yeah.
	Oh my gosh!
	Can you see that juice?
	We are the juice men.
	The juice from Kosovo.
	Wow.
	Okay.
	Alright.
	That is how it works.
	That's how it works.
	Just like that, and bingo, we've got the connection, and something's up.
	Now, let's see what's up.
	And it will be regime change of some sort.
	We'll both do a little reading, catch up to Kosovo, what's going on, and it'll be very transparent once you read it.
	I wonder what it is.
	She also traveled to Croatia when...
	Yeah.
	Which of course is in the neighborhood.
	Yeah.
	So she's been to Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Kosovo, Serbia, Macedonia, and then she stopped at the United Kingdom in Belgium.
	Hold on, let's take a look at the map.
	Chocolates and maybe have her hair done.
	Let's take a look at the map.
	Kosovo.
	Okay, what is this near?
	We don't do this often enough, just as people in general.
	So, okay, so Sofia, Bulgaria, Macedonia.
	I see Montenegro.
	Hmm.
	I'm not sure what...
	That doesn't seem like that.
	Well, you know, it could be...
	Well, here's what it could be.
	Could be some pipelines.
	Yes, it could be pipeline-related from Turkey.
	That could be possible.
	I'm going to take a real risk here.
	I'm going to use the maps from Bing.
	Good luck with that.
	Yeah, I think it's got to be Turkey-related, although we still have Bulgaria kind of on the way.
	But even if you bring gas or any other petrochemical products in from Greece, you're still probably going to have to go through Macedonia or, well, you're going to have to go through Albania, Macedonia, or Bulgaria.
	You go along the coast over there on the left.
	Yeah, and then you come up to Bosnia, Herzegovina.
	That would be through Croatia.
	You go through Croatia.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And she was just there, too.
	This woman is evil.
	She really is.
	It's the Kagan's front man.
	Yeah.
	What do the Kagan's expect to get?
	What do they get out of all this?
	Power.
	It's power.
	They gotta get some pieces of the action.
	I think they just love power, John.
	They just love power.
	That's what it's all about.
	Hmm.
	All right.
	Well, while we're on that topic, just let me throw this one out at you.
	You recall I mentioned that there was a big oil discovery in Golan Heights, which, of course, sits between Israel and Syria.
	And you questioned whether this was news or had the insiders found out about it.
	Did they already know?
	And Sir Atomic Rod, our resident nuclear expert, He did a little bit of digging, and he found out that one month before this announcement by Genie Energy, which is the outfit that apparently struck this big deposit,
	which is supposed to be 10 times as thick as the worldwide average thickness of rocks that contain hydrocarbons, we had a couple of additions to the board.
	Of the company?
	Yeah.
	So let's see who joined the board on September 9th, about a month before this news came out.
	They added Dr.
	Lawrence Summers.
	That's Larry Summers.
	Yeah.
	Economist.
	He also was Secretary of the Treasury.
	Governor Bill Richardson joined the board.
	Senator Mary Landrieu and James Woolsey.
	And they join Dick Cheney, Rupert Murdoch, and Lord Jacob Rothschild on the board of directors.
	There's a board for you.
	Nothing to see here.
	Move right along one month before this big news comes out.
	Okay.
	So this was...
	When you see that sort of thing, and then this news comes out, and there's all this money to be made, and there's no reason for Mary Landrieu to be on the board.
	Who is she?
	I've heard her.
	Who is she?
	She's a senator.
	She was from Louisiana.
	Yeah, a senator.
	Right.
	And she was on...
	Yeah, a senator.
	So she obviously signed off on something.
	Richardson's another politico.
	Yeah.
	So this is your...
	This is your make good.
	And Woolsey is the previous CIA guy.
	Gotta love it.
	So this is like, okay, just go along with this.
	You will get your rewards in heaven.
	They just got their rewards in heaven.
	Yeah.
	So they might have known about this.
	They got some stock.
	If you're a board member, companies like this, you typically get paid.
	You do get a fee, which can be $100,000 in some cases.
	It could easily be $100,000 plus transportation to and from the four times a year board meetings.
	That's right, on the jet.
	Legit.
	And you get stock.
	It could be locked up, but you get stock.
	Yeah.
	That is...
	Now, contrary to what you said, I heard that Israel does have some refinery capabilities.
	I have no knowledge of this.
	Okay.
	Well, let's look it up.
	We're here.
	We're doing this.
	This is how it works.
	Real time.
	Let me see what else Atomic Rod says here.
	So he...
	So the only...
	The news outlet that released this story was UPI. They got Oral Refineries Limited, ORL, Bazan.
	Isn't there some Israeli guy who does all of Iran's...
	It's in Haifa Bay.
	...refining?
	Some...
	Some muckety-muck, some dude.
	Oh, it could be.
	There's only a few guys that can put together refineries.
	Oh.
	Anyway, so things are on the move.
	It's a joint venture of Shell and the Anglo-American Oil Company, SO. There you go.
	Does it feel to you like something's happening, something's going down, something's taking place?
	Does it feel like that to you at all?
	No.
	It feels like that all the time to me.
	A couple of the Russian number stations have come back.
	They've reactivated.
	And there was also a report that some of the U.S. frequencies...
	We don't really have number stations, but we have Sky King.
	You ever heard of the Sky King stuff?
	I have heard of Sky King.
	Okay, so Sky King is back, and they're handing out messages, or they're transmitting messages on, let's see, I think they're on the 40-meter band, and maybe 17-meter band, although right outside of the...
	Right outside of the amateur frequencies, so I can't broadcast on them, but I can listen to them.
	And they're doing all the Sky King Collapse is another one of these stations.
	Collapse, collapse.
	Is that what it says?
	Yeah, they say collapse.
	They say collapse, collapse?
	Yeah.
	Hold on a second.
	I have a page here.
	I have a page here.
	Let's see.
	Collapse.
	So the station name is actually Collapse.
	Let's see.
	This is message three from...
	Let's see what comes out of this if we just listen to this.
	So this is U.S. based, but here's the kind of messages we're hearing.
	Quebec.
	Sierra.
	Hotel.
	Lockshot.
	Five.
	Juliet.
	Standby.
	Standing by.
	Capec.
	Sierra.
	Hotel.
	Let me forward it to the end.
	I think he says it at the end.
	Capec.
	November.
	Juliet.
	Oscar.
	Golf.
	Zulu.
	India.
	Six.
	Oscar.
	This is Collapse Out.
	Collapse Out?
	Why would you have a code named Collapse?
	Why don't you just use Snapchat?
	Well, with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say, in the morning to you, John C., where the C stands for collapse.
	Dvorak.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also, in the morning to all ships at sea.
	Boots on the ground, feet in the air.
	Subs in the water!
	In the morning to everyone in the chatroom.
	And all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to the chatroom participants at noagendastream.com.
	Good to have you aboard.
	In the morning to our artists who faithfully submit their heart and soul in the artwork for this program.
	They do it at noagendaartgenerator.com.
	I don't know if we've used anything from Spades85 before.
	No, I'm pretty sure we haven't.
	But we used Spade's artwork for episode 765, titled That With Smart Power.
	Got a lot of compliments on this art.
	I thought that was a wonderful piece.
	Yeah, it was the Suffragettes movie poster with Hillary, Elizabeth Warren, and Carly Fiorina.
	And it was good.
	It was well executed and appropriate for the program.
	It was good.
	Yeah.
	It was obviously done by a pro.
	And we appreciate that.
	We do have a few people to thank for a show 766, beginning with Lifewater Ranch.
	Actually, Night of the Golden Coin.
	These are special 8th anniversary donation levels?
	We have three of them.
	Lifewater Ranch is $310.26 for a double executive producer donation in Kuskia, Idaho.
	And he says, keep on keeping on, no matter how many insults we give you.
	From the Knight of the Golden Coin.
	Duke of the Pacific Northwest, Sir Dwayne Melanson.
	Happy anniversary from the Duke of the Pacific Northwest.
	May the mudflats abide for another eight seasons.
	Please keep up important service.
	I did send out a newsletter, and a lot of people didn't get it, apparently, that has the pictures of the mudflats.
	Yeah, and that is from your actual location?
	That's what I can see, though.
	You saw there, I can see.
	You have quite a view.
	It's beautiful.
	Of mudflats.
	Do we want to do a little update now, or do you want to wait until later in the show?
	Well, let me look.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	Where is my...
	Yeah, here it is.
	Okay.
	Because of what's happening in Greenland right now, the maps of the world will have to be redrawn.
	Okay.
	This is what would happen to San Francisco Bay.
	We have an exclusive report on the rising seas as we are all going to die.
	John C. Dvorak, look out your window.
	I'm looking.
	It's exactly the same as it is in the photos.
	Nothing's going on.
	All right.
	Look out the window, baby.
	So we're not dead yet.
	Woo!
	We're not dead yet.
	Not dead yet.
	All right.
	Good.
	Anyway, he says, keep up the good work.
	Thank you for your outstanding product.
	Please play Sharpton.
	We much.
	Okay.
	For all the nights, and I guess you can throw in a...
	Absolutely.
	But resist.
	We much.
	We must and we will much about that.
	You've got karma.
	Shut up.
	All right, Sharpton.
	One of the greatest clips of all time.
	Absolutely.
	Hey, so Tom McRod came in with a third 31026 donation from Forest Virginia.
	There's our Virginia donation.
	There you go.
	Tom McRod is a friend of the show.
	He was a commander of a nuclear submarine for many years, and he continues to fight for justice for nuclear power, which I'm all on board with.
	I think what he's doing, and I think a lot of people seem to, especially the left doesn't seem to appreciate this, what he's doing appears to be trying to convince people that the nuclear power of today, 2015, is not the same as the nuclear power from 1953.
	Yes.
	Which everyone else seems to think is going on.
	I got an interesting little piece of gossip.
	Okay.
	This is from a guy who was...
	Tom McGraw might know about this.
	Apparently, the people that are doing the most modern...
	The little reactors.
	Is the Navy.
	Oh, I thought the Russians.
	Yeah, Navy.
	The Navy has got...
	They've got stuff now that nobody can talk about to the point where it's such...
	It's like incredibly top secret.
	But they've got these...
	They power these whole ships with these basketballs.
	Basketballs?
	Really small, you know, devices.
	Or is that just the size of the fuel pod?
	I don't know.
	That's all I know.
	There's a bunch of top secret...
	Here's the way it was described to me.
	What we know about nuclear energy at the most modern base level is like something, like say you took a yardstick, and at the top of the yardstick is where we think is what we know we know.
	Go 40 feet up, that's what's really going on.
	In other words, there's a bunch of stuff going on that is being kept secret from the public.
	Well, what we know is that the new breeder reactors, they eat their own poop, so to speak, so there's no waste.
	It just circles around.
	Backyard nukes can power entire villages, cities, etc., And what I understood is the actual fuel cell itself is like the size of a football.
	Could be, but I'm just saying what you know and what that is public knowledge is apparently something else going on.
	Well, no matter what it is, just think about, this wouldn't be the solution to everything, but it could solve a lot.
	We wouldn't need as much...
	We still need...
	We live in a...
	Petro economy.
	I mean, everything has oil in it.
	Plastics.
	Well, plastics.
	Tons of stuff.
	There's a printer on your desk.
	Yeah, lots of stuff.
	My desk itself probably has petroleum products in it.
	The paint of your house.
	Pharmaceuticals.
	There's lots of reasons that we need.
	We have a fossil fuel economy or fossil resource economy, not just for burning.
	What is the whole fuel portion of it?
	30% maybe of all the petro products we need?
	But it would solve so much.
	Well, it would definitely take care of the energy issues.
	All of them.
	And it would also stop the CO2 problem.
	The supposed CO2 problem is going to kill us all.
	Even though as I look out at the mudflats...
	It's not killing us yet.
	Let's read what he has to say.
	So, Tom McGrodd.
	Baronet of the Blue Ridge.
	Happy anniversary.
	I've been listening since show number one.
	I'm always stimulated to think and question...
	Keep up the great work.
	I'm happy to be your source of solid information about all things Atomic.
	Oh, yeah.
	No Agenda listeners are welcome to visit Atomic Insights.
	AtomicInsights.com.
	And identify themselves with an ITM greeting.
	Someday I'll come up with some kind of special gift for No Agenda producers, but I'm almost as good as a procrastinator as John is.
	Thank you very much.
	You are pretty bad.
	My favorite jingle combination is MILF followed by In the Morning.
	Ah, spoken like a true Navy man.
	In the morning, you've got karma.
	Good go, Rod.
	Yeah, he's quite a resource.
	Atomicinsights.com.
	Really good, you guys.
	David Warner in Durham, North Carolina, 23456.
	Trump and Cosby.
	Trump and Cosby, broken up only by the occasional mentions of ISIS and frequent ads for some new big pharma drug that poisons your liver.
	But boy, does it make your skin so clear.
	Thank you for doing what corporate advertisers won't let cable news channels do anymore.
	Finally, today, October 18th, is my wedding day.
	Woo!
	Okay.
	Tomorrow is my new bride.
	Tomorrow, my new bride and I are leaving for our honeymoon.
	Four nights and lost wages.
	And a week in New Orleans.
	Please send some little girl yay karma for the long happy marriage.
	Lots of sex on the honeymoon and a good little, and some little good luck at the poker tables.
	Adios, mofos.
	Dave from Durham.
	All right, Dave.
	Thank you very much.
	We appreciate that.
	Yay!
	Adios, mofo.
	You've got karma.
	That should do it.
	You're in Vegas.
	Everything will be fine.
	Thank you for your courage.
	This is from Stuart Fawcett in Liverpool, Merseyside, UK 211.
	Thank you for your courage and the hour of entertainment you have provided.
	Your podcast has been keeping me informed and entertained on my commute to work for several years now.
	I've made some similar donations in the past, but today I'm getting myself an associate executive producer as a present for my 45th birthday on the 21st of October.
	Can I please get a juicy...
	Little girl, yay.
	And if Adam is willing, David Cameron getting piggy with it.
	Oh, yeah.
	You can put that at the end of the show if you want.
	Yeah, I'm going to do that.
	Hold on.
	Let me do it right now.
	Put it in the folder.
	Okay, good.
	Here you go.
	Wow!
	Oh, my gosh.
	Can you see that juice?
	Sorry, juice karma crash.
	J.C. Cohan in Warren, Connecticut, $200.
	But this is for her husband, Glenn.
	Make a note.
	We just got married on the 28th of September.
	We both have been listeners for about a year now.
	And we've been douchebags since now.
	Oh, no.
	Or until now is what I should say.
	Or since now.
	It could be either way.
	I'm donating the first $200 for his birthday, which is on the 16th, and will continue to donate.
	Can you please de-douche us?
	Yeah.
	And maybe play ISIS in America and the Obama Mexican no-no-no hay.
	Thank you.
	Okay.
	You know what I found, actually?
	I found the Batman hay.
	Oh, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
	But now I'm not sure which one is the Mexican.
	Oh, it's...
	The hat dance.
	Yeah, I know, but sometimes I just can't find...
	I'm going to substitute it for the Obama Batman jingle, just because I can't find the other one.
	Ow!
	ISIS. Isis.
	I feel good.
	you've got karma I still love that.
	Yes, that one is a complete winner.
	That concludes our group of producers and executive producers for show 766.
	We do have show 767 coming up, which brings us right back to the Mile High Club, which we'll promote in the newsletter.
	Oh, that's right.
	And should have the Mile High Club website up by then, hopefully.
	Outstanding.
	These, of course, are credits that are real.
	Executive producers and associate executive producers, you see it all the time.
	Even if you watch House of Cards on Netflix, whenever someone has ponied up, they become an executive or associate executive producer, and you get all the benefits.
	Well, almost all.
	No actresses to hang out and bang.
	But you do get, you know, a standing.
	And you can use these credits anywhere they're accepted.
	Unlike the douchebags in Hollywood, we will gladly vouch for you.
	Please remember us for Thursday's show.
	And we always want you out there in the wild, propagating our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	World Order.
	Shut up, play.
	Shut up!
	Hey!
	Ba-ba-da-ba-ba-da!
	One word.
	So let's see what's going on.
	Let's tackle some election stuff here in America.
	Have we yet heard a politician say our country instead of this country?
	I haven't actually.
	You know, it's funny that you'd mention this.
	Am I going to die laughing it's so funny?
	Yes, it's so funny.
	I haven't really been on the lookout with any alacrity.
	After the show was done, I forgot all about that.
	You said that it would be easy to find, and you said I'd have tons of people sending it in.
	I've received zero.
	I agree with you on that.
	I agree with you on that.
	It'll be very easy to find.
	Zero.
	Zero so far.
	People sending stuff all the time.
	I have yet to hear one candidate running for president of any party who says...
	Our country instead of this country.
	Oh, and I have some gossip.
	I got some inside news.
	I met someone at a cocktail party.
	I was at a cocktail party.
	Whoa!
	Yeah, I know.
	But it's Tina the Keeper, man.
	She gets me out.
	Let's get the background.
	It was a cocktail party for the organization she works for, non-profit.
	Oh, okay.
	I know who this is.
	You know who is?
	What are you talking about?
	You don't know what I'm going to say.
	Yeah, I do.
	Yes, Tina the Keeper.
	No, but I heard...
	One of these things.
	I met a guy...
	The foundation had a cocktail party to try to get the gouge people from...
	So I met a guy who...
	I met a guy.
	I met a guy who's from D.C. And you love this guy.
	And he's from Texas.
	He's moving back.
	And you know what his job is?
	Crisis PR. Oh, that's a big deal.
	Yeah, and he's worked on all kinds of...
	Even some people who are in the Ashley Madison database.
	Oh, yeah.
	So this guy, he's clued in.
	Anyway...
	Yeah, Crisis PR, that's a specialty.
	Yeah, and he's...
	We had a lot of contacts in common, so this will be a new informant for us that'll be very, very handy.
	Is he an Obama bot?
	Um...
	Not sure.
	No, in fact, I don't think he is, because here's the piece of gossip he gave me.
	Guess who is going to announce, it has to come soon, running as an independent for president?
	Jerry Brown.
	No.
	Do I get a second guess?
	Yeah, you get three guesses.
	And I'm assuming it's not Biden.
	No.
	Independent.
	I said independent.
	So he's going to run as an independent.
	Okay, Ross Perot, he's out.
	Come on, man.
	You love the guy.
	I do?
	I think you might have voted for him.
	Oh, Gary, Gary.
	Yes.
	Apparently, he's going to return.
	He's going to give it another shot.
	Good for him.
	Yeah.
	He's probably the most qualified of everyone.
	He just has to work on...
	Maybe he's working with him.
	He's unexciting.
	You sent him a memo, as I recall.
	No, I talked to his campaign...
	I interviewed him.
	Liven it up, dude!
	Remember, I interviewed him, and then I talked to his campaign manager.
	I said, you know, he's like a wet sock, like a wet noodle.
	He's got a light of fire.
	And then he went off the deep end, like, Hey!
	I'm stoned!
	Everyone needs weed!
	Not exactly how it happened.
	So, aren't the filing deadlines...
	Well, maybe he's already filed.
	I don't know.
	I haven't looked.
	Most of these guys have filed.
	Yeah, they're filed probably.
	So he apparently is throwing his...
	It turns out that Elizabeth Warren's already filed.
	Right?
	No one has talked about that.
	She's already filed.
	But Biden's filed.
	Oh, you got...
	Just recently?
	I think he filed probably a month ago.
	Good.
	Because you can't get on a national ballot unless you get these filings in.
	Even if you're not going to run.
	But Warren filed, what, in August or something?
	She filed a couple months ago.
	She filed as soon as she could.
	Just in case.
	Okay, so let's see what we have going on.
	First of all, we have Bernie.
	The burn.
	The burn is in trouble with the national news media.
	Now, Bernie, of course, is also with the mainstream media.
	Bernie, of course, is also a guy who's not spending any money on the stations.
	You know, he first of all, he doesn't really have the money, but he's not going to waste it on buying ads.
	So, you know, you got to take that into account when media starts talking trash about him.
	And of course, I don't think these guys get this simple concept.
	It's so simple.
	We should put it in the FAQ. Yeah.
	Yeah, you need to spend money in advertising.
	And Trump will meet himself.
	He'll find out this is problematic for him as well.
	Well, he'll learn.
	I do have a report.
	Okay.
	This is the update.
	This has got some of your information included, and then you'll tell us more.
	But this is Katie Turd, who's an NBC Trump hater.
	She's not Turd, it's Turr.
	Turr.
	What did I say?
	I think you said Turd.
	Oh, no.
	Okay.
	Katie's election update.
	...runner often using the 43rd president to needle his opponent, Jeb Bush, in the past calling the Iraq invasion a mistake.
	This afternoon, Jeb fired back, tweeting Trump was, quote, pathetic, and that his brother kept us safe.
	Late Thursday, we finally got a peek into the moguls' unusual campaign financials.
	They're much richer.
	Of the leading candidates, Trump spent the least between July and September at $4.2 million, compared to Hillary Clinton's $25.8.
	Among his top expenses, half a million for those Make America Great Again hats and shirts.
	But perhaps most notably, despite what he repeatedly says...
	I'm self-funding my campaign, okay?
	I'm the only one.
	Donald Trump is spending more of his donors' money than his own.
	In fact, the billionaire hasn't personally put any cash into his campaign since June.
	The Republican leader bringing in $3.9 million from donors, averaging $50.
	He is speaking for me because that's my money.
	I want him to spend my money.
	The only candidate with a higher percentage of cash from small donors, Bernie Sanders.
	Meanwhile, Jeb Bush continues to struggle, only pulling in a disappointing $13 million.
	Katie Tur, NBC News, New York.
	You know, it's become such a fact now.
	Everyone just is all in and agrees, if you have the most money, you become president.
	They're not even questioning this anymore.
	I know.
	Well, the media, of course, are going to push this.
	I mean, what better way to get more money?
	Oh, absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	The media is so involved with getting these, to pushing the agenda of if you have the most money, you'll win.
	And then they always with, oh, it's terrible.
	They go on and on about the Citizens United thing.
	Oh, it's horrible.
	But John, before we go any further...
	Let's stop this bullcrap about Bernie Sanders only getting small donations from individuals.
	I mean, you can go to OpenSecrets.org.
	Here's his list of the top, what is this, 15 or 20?
	Machinists, Aerospace Workers Union, Teamsters Union, National Education Association, United Auto Workers, United Food and Commercial Workers Union.
	Communication Workers of America, Laborers Union, Carpenters and Joiners Union, National Association of Letter Carriers, American Association for Justice, American Federation of State, County, Municipal Employees, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, United Transportation Union, Sheet Metal Workers Union, Operating Engineers Union, Service Employees International Union, SEIU, Unite Here, United Steel Workers, American Postal Workers Union, and American Federation of Teachers.
	He's a union guy, which fits in with his Democratic Socialist.
	Now that you bring this up, I'm just wondering off the top of my head, why do the networks just want the money?
	The networks want the money.
	This is what props them up.
	This is like the drug money propping up the banks.
	The networks want the money.
	They get most of the money.
	They did give a needle to Trump for spending half of, you know, $500 million, or no, not $500 million, I'm sorry, $0.5 million on hats and t-shirts, and that was almost like giving him the needle.
	It's like, hey, that money's for us.
	That should be advertising money that goes to us.
	We don't want you buying shirts and crap like that.
	Hey, $500,000.
	That's our money.
	Don't buy shirts and hats.
	That's our money.
	So the three networks and all the little local stations all see this as their money.
	They want more of it.
	As far as they're concerned, the best thing that ever happened was the United Citizens thing, although that is...
	He really, to me, has done nothing to add.
	I have a clip later.
	The gay ambassador, the United States ambassador to Denmark, he...
	Is that on his sash?
	Does it say gay ambassador?
	You have to hear this report.
	It'll crack you up.
	This guy got the job...
	No, this is a two-parter.
	It's too long.
	Okay, well, then let me...
	But what I need to say, this guy got the job for getting a billion dollars for Obama...
	And that was before Citizens United.
	I mean, come on with the Citizens United.
	Well, would you please explain Citizens United for everybody who has only heard the term?
	This was the famous case that went to the Supreme Court because somebody was suing over showing a Hillary movie and somehow it got twisted into that free...
	Money is free speech, which means that large corporations can now create these super PACs and just throw billions of dollars at a campaign.
	And it's bad because all it's bad, as Bernie Sanders says, we need campaign finance reform and all the rest of it because this is corrupting the system.
	It's not corrupting anything.
	There's no evidence of this.
	But they like to say it.
	But it's the media that says it the most.
	Oh, Citizens United, find some guy to say something bad about Citizens United.
	The idea to me seems to be the following.
	If you're a Democrat in particular, because Citizens United is supposed to benefit the Republicans only somehow.
	Because they're the only one who have rich people.
	Hello Warren Buffet.
	Hello Bill Gates.
	Right, Bill Gates, the DuPont guy.
	Hello Kleiner Perkins.
	All of them.
	Yeah, all the whole Kleiner Perkins operation.
	So that's a myth, but that's okay because what it does is it gets people to go, oh my God, I'm going to have to give money.
	To fight the Citizens United thing, so I'll give my money to the Democrats.
	So there's more money, more money, more money coming in for advertising.
	Well, Trump is playing hardball.
	I like this.
	He announced peculiarly with Ben Carson the following.
	Everything is a negotiation to Donald Trump, I'm sure, including debates.
	What exactly does he want?
	Yeah, you are absolutely right.
	And it's not just Trump this time.
	It's Ben Carson, too.
	They're going to see NBC and they're saying, look, unless you agree to limit this debate to two hours and unless you agree to give us opening and closing statements, then maybe we just won't participate.
	And in particular, the length of debates has been a big complaint for Donald Trump.
	He goes out on the stump.
	He talks about how long the CNN debate was.
	He talks about how the extra hour was just to sell ads.
	And he says he doesn't want to see a repeat of this.
	Now, I think the big question here, what we're all wondering, is whether someone like Donald Trump is really going to give away a potential audience of 20 million viewers.
	Those are the kinds of numbers we're seeing for the Republican debates and really not show up.
	These negotiations are still ongoing.
	I'm sure CNBC would love to see him on stage.
	And the RNC, of course, wants to see all their candidates there.
	So we'll just have to stay tuned to see how this negotiation plays out.
	Yes, a veiled threat there, which falls on deaf ears.
	And I like that Trump got Carson to join in on this, because those are the two front-runners, according to all the polls, and they're saying, hey, you don't own us, bitches.
	We own you.
	And that potential audience of 20 million, I think everyone agrees in media land that that is only because of Donald Trump.
	If he pulls out, which he threatens to do...
	They'll have 5 million viewers tops.
	Let's say 10 just to give him a break.
	But that's half of the income.
	That would cut income in half.
	Because the advertising dollar, they have to do paybacks or whatever you call them.
	Make goods.
	They have to make up for the shortfall.
	How many people watch the NBC? A million?
	Maybe?
	At the opening bell and the closing bell?
	Maybe?
	Maybe?
	I don't think no.
	That's way high.
	CNBC is really targeted for a specific audience.
	Maybe a million.
	It's possible.
	I'll tell you.
	At least a couple of the good shows.
	Fast Money is my favorite.
	That's the really good show if you want to watch one.
	Cable news ratings.
	Yeah, look at closing the bell.
	Yeah, like 190,000 for the day.
	Yeah, no, it's very low because it's a...
	Primetime, 457.
	So they're about half a million.
	So half a million, yeah.
	Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
	I think they'll get exactly what they want.
	Of course they will.
	They're going to get the opening...
	They really irked Trump, apparently, because they did already, what, a couple of Republican debates, and one of them was on CNN, the first one.
	And then when they do the Democrat ones, they change the format so the Democrats get the yeah, yeah, yeah, and I did this and I did that.
	And I think it just irked him.
	He said, how come we didn't get to do that, you...
	A-holes?
	Okay, so long way and around to come back to Bernie Sanders, who is not participating in the advertising budgets.
	This is a problem.
	And even though Jake Anderson Vanderbilt-Puber brought it up at the debate, now CNN is all over this VA thing.
	Bernie Sanders was chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs during the height of the VA waitlist scandal.
	But critics like the founder of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans Association says you'd never know it.
	For far too long, he was apologizing for the VA. He was refusing to acknowledge the severity.
	He was positioning it as a smaller issue than it was while veterans were dying waiting for care.
	Paul Rykoff says Sanders had to be ignoring what was happening just across the Capitol in the House where the House Veterans Affairs Committee investigators We're digging up records, swearing in whistleblowers, and exposing the massive scandal.
	Chairman Sanders was at the helm during the biggest scandal in VA history.
	So the question for Bernie Sanders is, where were you?
	Why didn't you conduct more oversight?
	Why didn't you get to the bottom of this?
	Why didn't you listen to the veterans groups who came forward and said this was a problem?
	Republican senators on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee were so troubled by the lack of oversight, they sent this letter to Sanders complaining, our nation's veterans do not deserve to wait to receive their benefits and or needed health care services, adding this committee must conduct aggressive oversight to ensure they receive the care they need when they need it.
	All right.
	Not so good for the burn.
	No, that's a hit piece.
	That is a massive hit piece, and all he needs to do is...
	You know, spend a little money and it'll all go away.
	It's that simple.
	But he did get an endorsement from Bill Maher.
	Surprisingly enough.
	Didn't surprise me.
	And I'd love to play, this is a little on the long side, but I chopped it down from its original nine minutes.
	Yeah, so whenever Bill Maher starts his show, he has someone come out and sit in the chair and he chats with him about it.
	And I think what, well there's a lot of inaccuracies in this.
	And I have the distinct pleasure of having had experience with, among many things, taxation and healthcare in socialist countries.
	I've lived in the Netherlands, I've lived in Belgium, and I would put the United Kingdom in there as well.
	Certainly when it comes to healthcare as a socialist program.
	And so Bill Maher sits down with Bernie and endorses him and tries to get to the bottom of everything that Bernie is saying, and particularly defining socialism.
	So before we start, can you give me an off-the-cuff definition of socialism?
	It's a form of government that emphasizes welfare.
	And I mean welfare not in the sense of a welfare check, but the welfare of the individuals.
	And do you believe we are currently living in a socialist country?
	I think it's pretty close.
	My question to you, I guess, is the word socialist.
	I want to get right to this, because I want to help your campaign.
	I want to see you get the nomination.
	I wonder if he'll give a million dollars from Yahoo to Bernie, like he did for Obama.
	Remember that scam?
	Yeah.
	Where he got a million dollar check from Yahoo and gave it right to Obama, and he probably wrote it off.
	Hey, that was my money.
	I gave it.
	He gave it to the Super PAC, a million dollars.
	I want to see you do that.
	Woo!
	We have to teach Americans what this is.
	Oh, hello America.
	Pay attention.
	Information coming.
	You're being taught.
	You're stupid.
	And I don't know if we're doing that yet.
	I don't think most Americans realize they're already socialists.
	In certain respects.
	Okay.
	This is a great conversation.
	Bill Maher, millionaire, sitting there talking about socialism.
	It's great.
	Let's start off with what it is not what we want to change.
	We want to deal with the grotesque level of income and wealth inequality in America.
	Very few people think it is acceptable or moral that the top one-tenth of one percent owns almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent.
	Isn't that true for almost every economy, though?
	That, you know...
	No, no.
	I don't think it's true in Switzerland.
	No?
	You don't think the elites have a leg up?
	They always have a leg up, but they don't have the...
	This is being exaggerated.
	And I would like to say, where are the numbers?
	I'm interested in the numbers behind this.
	There's some good numbers.
	He's not saying a tenth of the 1% has more money than the...
	99.9%.
	I think you can find those numbers if you really try hard enough.
	All it says to me or what baffles me when these people bring this stuff is why aren't they all supporting a wealth tax?
	It seems to me a wealth tax would resolve some of this, not a lot of it, but it would resolve taxing people for income, which is a terrible thing to do because it keeps them from ever becoming wealthy.
	Right.
	And the wealth tax also takes care of the problem where you have people like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates saying, I want to be taxed more.
	Do you think that the estate tax, what they call the death tax, is good?
	I don't like the death tax.
	I don't like it either.
	Yeah, I think the death tax is not good.
	The wealth tax would take care of all these issues.
	The wealth tax already takes care of that.
	And is that a socialist concept, the wealth tax?
	I don't think it is a socialist concept.
	A socialist concept would be more of just stealing the money.
	Wealth tax is also a very small number.
	It's not like it's taking forever to lose all your wealth.
	Well, let's listen to the rest of the conversation.
	Socialism is the programs they already like.
	They like Social Security.
	That's socialism.
	They like Medicare.
	They like the VA. They like the military.
	That's exactly right.
	It's already a socialist country.
	But what we have to...
	No, it's not a socialist country.
	Now Bernie's even pushing back.
	It's not socialist.
	It's not socialist enough, I guess.
	Quasi.
	Quasi.
	There are some socialist programs.
	But what we have got to do is remind fellow Americans that every other major country on Earth guarantees health care to all people as a right, and they do it more cost-effectively than legal.
	That's not true.
	That is false.
	It is not a right.
	It's obligatory.
	It's different than a right.
	In the Netherlands, you are obliged.
	The Netherlands has Obamacare.
	They changed that, what is it now, seven years ago?
	Six, seven years ago?
	Everybody, if you do not have insurance, healthcare insurance, you are penalized by the Dutch version of the IRS. So it is not a right.
	No, you are forced to have universal healthcare.
	And there's a lot of problems with it, a lot of gouging by the insurance companies.
	It is, in fact, exactly like Obamacare.
	But I don't know if we're still undemonizing this word socialism.
	This is my big thing tonight, to get you to undemonize this word.
	Okay, so be on the lookout for this.
	This is what it's about.
	Undemonizing the word socialism.
	The Pope is on board with this.
	He's a socialist.
	This is where we're headed.
	Undemonizing the word socialism.
	They hear socialist, they think herpes, Bernie.
	We have to understand what we do.
	Thanks, Bill, that you're really helping.
	Yeah, that works.
	I don't think I can unhear that.
	I never thought that before.
	Is we have to make the movement, if you like, to correlate what we're talking about.
	Because on every one of the major issues I am talking about, the American people agree.
	Do the American people agree that public colleges and universities should be tuition free?
	Do you agree, John?
	Yeah.
	As they are in many other countries.
	Tommy.
	Tommy.
	By the way, Bernie, the people who can get into the university for free in the Netherlands, where I have expertise in standing, can barely afford...
	It doesn't include a place to live in Amsterdam or The Hague or Leiden or Groningen.
	It's still very difficult to find student housing.
	And the literature, you're spending thousands of euros on books with the well-known book scam.
	The book scam.
	Well, that's new, too, by the way.
	Do the American people believe that the largest corporations and the wealthiest people who today are doing phenomenally well while the middle class shrinks, do people believe they should be asked to pay more in taxes?
	The American people say yes.
	Okay.
	It's like a game show.
	What does the board say?
	The American people say yes indeed.
	That's family feud.
	And the question is, Bill, you tell me, why is it that every other major country on earth, every single one...
	I will tell you why.
	Because they control both ends of it.
	If you're saying that the government is going to pick up the tab, but not make the insurance companies, the hospitals, and the doctors not gouge people, then we are going to break the budget.
	It has to work both ways.
	Exactly!
	But here's an example.
	So you're going to make the hospitals do that?
	What's interesting here is that both of them are saying that Obamacare blows.
	That I find to be...
	I don't know that they know that they're doing that.
	They probably don't, but I thought everything was fixed.
	Everything was great.
	How can we still have people with no health care in our country?
	I thought that was all fixed.
	The United States is the only major country on earth that allows private insurance companies to make huge profits on the healthcare system.
	No, I'm sorry, that is patently false.
	The Netherlands allows private insurance companies to make huge profits on healthcare insurance.
	I'd call that a modern country, Bernie.
	Right.
	The function of healthcare should be to provide quality care to all people, not to make huge profits of the drug companies and insurance companies.
	Okay, but you want to increase Social Security.
	You also want free college.
	That's right.
	Well, stop on.
	We do.
	Not free college.
	Free public college.
	Right.
	Free tuition and public colleges and universities.
	You know how we pay for that?
	Through a tax on Wall Street speculation.
	Okay.
	That's how you do it.
	A tax on Wall Street speculation.
	What is Wall Street speculation?
	Well, it's pretty damn broad, isn't it?
	It could be anything.
	I could invest in a local...
	Speculation.
	Just speculation.
	Child care.
	Yep.
	Childcare?
	Yes.
	And single-payer.
	Now, single-payer is more cost-effective than what we have right now.
	In terms of childcare, in terms of rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure and creating millions of decent paying jobs, we do do away with these huge tax loopholes that corporations and the wealthy enjoy.
	So you're saying we can pay for all this without raising taxes on anybody but the 1%?
	May have to go down a little bit lower than that.
	Oh.
	But not much lower.
	Oh.
	Okay.
	So we're not just going to tax the 1%.
	We're going to tax the top 5%.
	Yeah, everybody.
	Exactly.
	Nice to see that Bill Maher is feeling the burn.
	This is very good.
	Feeling the burn.
	I don't think he liked him.
	I don't find Bernie Sanders a likable guy at all, really.
	I never liked him.
	And I've watched a lot of these VA hearings.
	He's a blowhard.
	He gets up there like, yeah, I've watched a lot of these things too.
	And he's badgers, witnesses, and then he goes on and starts pontificating.
	He pontificates a lot.
	I don't like his...
	He reminds me of the uncle you don't like.
	It was a good bit on Saturday Night Live.
	I just ran this last weekend with the mockery of the debates, and they had Larry David.
	Oh, nice.
	He was playing Bernie Sanders?
	Yeah.
	Great.
	No clip?
	No, I didn't make a clip.
	Well, let's check in.
	It's very long.
	It goes on forever.
	It's online.
	Let's check in with some other candidates.
	Ron Paul, how is he doing?
	Rand.
	Rand, I'm sorry.
	Well, you know, I say that because I keep getting calls from the Rand Paul campaign, personal calls.
	Really?
	Yeah, because Rand Paul either sold or gave my name in the database to Rand Paul.
	Oh, that makes sense.
	And now I'm getting emails from Ted Cruz, from who else am I getting emails from?
	Well, you get the emails from Hillary, of course.
	Of course.
	Well, I'm going to her birthday party.
	I was invited to the birthday party.
	I sent my $1 so I can go to the birthday party.
	I did the just registering.
	So Rand Paul, last time we checked in with Rand Paul, he was doing the, quote, stupid-ass live stream, which showed us that he's pretty much on the ropes.
	But now we bring in a fine Silicon Valley term known as the burn rate.
	Burn rate.
	Oh, boy.
	Oh, yeah.
	Republican Kentucky Senator Rand Paul facing serious questions about his 2016 campaign after raising only $2.5 million last quarter.
	And it's not just the lack of money coming in.
	It's also how quickly Paul is spending his money, the so-called burn rate.
	Burn rate.
	Ilana Wise is following the story.
	Rand Paul is actually burning through his money at a pretty significant rate.
	He had one of the highest burn rates of anyone in the field at about 181%.
	And Paul is not the only one.
	Former Republican New York Governor George Pataki and former Rhode Island Senator Lincoln Chafee, running as a Democrat, also showing very high burn rates, with lots going out and little coming in.
	You are scaroo!
	Screws!
	That's pretty big.
	What's his burn rate?
	What did she say?
	180 a month?
	Oh, it's too much.
	Damn, that's crazy.
	Well, here's an interesting little clip on that regard.
	This makes a little sense when you hear it, why Biden's not jumping in.
	Play Biden and Air Force 2.
	Wow.
	Some supporters argue that Biden is better off waiting, since once he declares for president, he has to pay for Air Force Two.
	And with the crew, a whopping $43,000 an hour on political trips.
	A huge burden for a fledgling campaign.
	Oh, okay.
	We have the number.
	Yeah, $43,000 per hour.
	That sounds about right.
	It does sound about right for a big plane like that.
	So Jeb Bush is an idiot.
	I have to say it.
	He is an idiot.
	He's turning out to be an idiot of a sort that we didn't expect.
	No, he's moronically idiotic.
	So he's asked a question about doing a town hall or something.
	He also knows set dressing.
	It doesn't look presidential.
	It looks like he's constantly at a PTA meeting.
	He should be wearing contacts.
	He's obviously farsighted.
	And people who are farsighted, when their lenses make their eyeballs bigger, Right.
	So he's really far-sized, so he has these two giant eyeballs, and he's looking out there like he's befuddled by everything.
	He just is not presentable.
	There's some crazy app called Helium Voice or something.
	That's what he needs.
	It's like you put it on your phone, and then it distorts your image like you've got huge eyeballs and a really tiny nose, and it puts your voice into Helium mode.
	There you go.
	Yeah, it's all the kids are doing it.
	Jeb!
	All right, here's Jeb, and the guy starts off and he says, well, you know, Eisenhower warned about the military-industrial complex.
	What are you going to do about limiting the military-industrial complex is the full question, which I chopped off for brevity.
	It seems that some of the Republican candidates just want to keep growing the defense budget.
	That's first and foremost.
	We'll do whatever it takes, even if other things have to be sacrificed.
	And by the way, we're going to do something which I keep hearing a lot of.
	Here's the term.
	Let's unpack this.
	Have you heard this?
	Have you heard this?
	Yeah.
	This is pissing me off.
	Let me unpack that for a moment.
	Oh, hold on.
	Let me listen to what you just said.
	This is another Silicon Valley issue.
	Let me unpack this so I can see what's going on.
	So the same group that brought you drill down.
	Yes.
	And out of the box, watershed moment.
	Let's unpack this for a moment.
	Because that's most important, I hear.
	I'm wondering, would you be willing to set some limits?
	This guy sounds like an old-time newsreel, too.
	I like that.
	Will you make sure that corporations that sell weapons systems don't influence our politicians?
	Now, let's listen to the answer from the guy who was influenced the most by the war industry.
	Absolutely.
	So that's a very good point.
	And I thought I brought up this point to a certain extent in that every aspect of spending needs to be challenged.
	How not to answer the question.
	It gets good.
	He goes on and on.
	Every aspect.
	When you have the F-35, this incredible, apparently, this will be the most powerful plane.
	It's a turkey, Jeb.
	The thing doesn't even fly.
	In the sky.
	Better than the Russians, better than the Chinese.
	But it's cost...
	The costs are exponentially more than anybody ever imagined, and it's taken exponentially more time than what anybody imagined.
	And one of the things that's going on in Washington, D.C. now, Senator McCain's committee, and the House as well, is looking at procurement reform.
	Which I think is essential.
	Instead of having these big, huge, complex weapon systems, whatever they are, that require maybe two or three contractors, the only people that can get it are these big aggregators, if you will, what we ought to do is have a more strategic approach to this.
	And remember, the question was, how can you keep military industrial complex money out of buying off politicians?
	That's what he's not answering.
	And then build on it.
	And there's lots of reasons for this.
	One is cost, one is speed, to getting the equipment out into the field as fast as possible.
	It makes it, you're much more agile if you start small and build on it.
	And as important...
	Think how fast technology is evolving.
	So we're building these big, sophisticated weapon systems, the F-35.
	The guy's a dick.
	He's a dummy.
	He goes on and on and on and on.
	I can imagine that.
	Now, you know, he should start off by saying, well, if you wanted to avoid the question, say...
	Well, the question you should be asking is whether or not we should really put our efforts into auditing the Pentagon.
	And then our money will be well spent because we know where it's going right now.
	I can show you where your money is going.
	This is the opening 30-second intro to a 71-minute ceremony.
	I want you to tell me what this ceremony is about.
	Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the arrival of the official party and remain standing for the presentation of the colors, the playing of the national anthem by saxophonist Michael Lington, and the invocation.
	Alright, here comes the special elites walking onto the podium.
	What is this about, John?
	We have royal horns!
	This was for the introduction of the F-35.
	You've got to see this thing.
	They've got a huge plane on stage.
	They've got horns and flags and everyone's all jacked up about how happy they are.
	This is going to save everything.
	It's a game changer.
	This thing won't fly.
	This thing is a turkey.
	Everybody knows that.
	Somebody's talking about speed is like one of the slowest jets ever built.
	Yeah, it's a mess.
	And then I discovered...
	I'm going to hand it to you, because I thought at first these guys were real.
	Although we know that the Black Lives Matter movement, at least the people who have been on stage and at the forefront, certainly the two women who interrupted Bernie Sanders, they work for organizations fully funded by Open Society Institute, George Soros.
	Which I hate to say it.
	Oh, let's point the finger at Soros.
	But yes, he actually has funded a lot of the Black Lives Matter movement.
	And Hillary had yet another meeting with the Black Lives movement.
	And they even got some Periscope video.
	And it was this interview with one of the leaders.
	What is this guy's name?
	Hold on a second.
	His name.
	I have it under hashtag BLM. I'm going to find it for you in a moment who this guy is.
	But I figured out what they are.
	Black Lives Matter is positioning itself to be the voice for black America, and they will be endorsing a candidate who they think is most likely to represent And that is witnessed in this report because they're really not interested in anybody but apparently Democrats and certainly Hillary.
	Activists from the Black Lives Matter movement met one-on-one with Hillary Clinton today, and it follows a promise made by her campaign last month.
	This is Periscope video shot by activists after that meeting ended.
	Now, you think that they're going to allow that, that the campaign is going to allow that unless it's completely controlled?
	I don't think so.
	Right.
	That's set up.
	DeRay McKesson reached out to Clinton on Twitter to meet with the former Secretary of State about her criminal justice platform.
	Apparently, all you have to do is just send a tweet.
	Well, why don't we all send a tweet right now to Hillary Clinton at Hillary Clinton?
	No, no, I think.
	Let me take a look.
	Well, you take a look.
	We should all tweet her that the No Agenda show wants to have a sit-down conference that we can put on Periscope.
	Yeah, we represent an audience.
	They've been seeking meetings with candidates of both parties to push their ideas about police reforms.
	Now notice, they've been seeking meetings of both parties to push their agenda.
	They call Campaign Zero, hoping to bring an end to police killings of civilians.
	B. Ray McKesson joins me right now.
	Here's the tweeter himself.
	It's good to have you with me.
	And tell us, what was this meeting like?
	And was Hillary Clinton receptive to your ideas?
	Now listen.
	Thomas, thanks for the invitation.
	And I literally just left the meeting.
	It was a good, productive meeting.
	It was a tough meeting.
	We didn't agree about all the issues.
	But in the end, I think that we felt heard.
	You know, she hasn't released a platform yet about racial justice or racial equity or criminal justice.
	So I'm hopeful that this conversation will have formed that platform.
	Whenever someone comes up with a conversation, then you know it's bullcrap.
	She did come out and said that she wants to end private prisons.
	She tentatively agreed to a national use of force standard, or the likelihood or possibility of that.
	She's really endorsing a use of force standard, like how hard you can hit somebody?
	This is nuts.
	And also we had great discussion about alternatives to policing and pushed really hard on de-centering the police as core to the notion of safety.
	This idea that safety is more expansive than the police.
	And we had a good discussion on those areas.
	Okay, so he's pushing, he's helping, he's helping her understand, all from a tweet.
	This is fantastic.
	I believe it is Hillary Clinton.
	What about the Republican side?
	Have you had access to any of those candidates?
	The Republican side, which you're supposed to also be influencing and pushing.
	Yeah, so I've publicly requested a meeting with Marco Rubio.
	I've tentatively heard from his team.
	I tentatively heard from his team?
	What does that mean?
	Did you hear from his team or not?
	No, tentatively?
	No, that means you have not heard.
	So he tweeted, hey, can I have a meeting?
	The email was that somebody else would email me, and they have not.
	Oh, someone else is going to email the email to me, but they have not.
	I'm hoping to reach out to the RNC to request a meeting with Reince.
	Reince.
	Reince.
	You're full of crap.
	You're full of crap.
	Who is this guy?
	Why is he on the air?
	What show is this?
	This, I think, is CNN. No, because I guarantee you Black Lives Matter is going to endorse a candidate.
	They're a political organization.
	No doubt about it.
	But this is a scam.
	Of course it is.
	You can tell by the signage.
	Yeah, it's well-produced signage, exactly.
	It's too much well-produced signage, and Soros' name has been dropped already.
	So I'm going to give you a point.
	I'm going to give you points on the board for being the first to capture the lunacy of the makeover of Hillary Clinton.
	This is her new laugh.
	This is the new Hillary.
	And when she sat down to be interviewed by Jake Tapper...
	Let me see.
	Where is it?
	Here it is.
	She sat down to be interviewed by Jake Tapper.
	She did it again, but during a very serious question.
	It was very, very strange.
	You know, Bernie Sanders said that, quote, the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails.
	But there are a lot of people who are not.
	Well...
	Including FBI officials looking into whether national security...
	Has that been sweet?
	No.
	No!
	In fact, I tried to put the two together, and this is what I came up with.
	No.
	Let's play that again.
	So this is legit.
	It's not sweet.
	No, it's not sweet.
	It is right from the show, and she's being asked, and she's just randomly, the best way I can put it, randomly laughing like a lunatic.
	Yes, and I have a point to make about this.
	This is very, very serious.
	Bernie Sanders said that, quote, the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails.
	Ha, ha, ha.
	But there are a lot of people who are not, including FBI officials, looking into whether national security was compromised because of this server.
	At first I thought, maybe, you know, she's insane.
	But then I remembered, and we've discussed this, she has an illness, John.
	She has an illness and she needs help immediately.
	Don't call it depression.
	Call it by its real name.
	Don't call it crazy.
	Call it PBA. Pseudo-bulbar affect.
	PBA causes frequent episodes of uncontrollable crying or laughing in people with brain injuries or neurologic conditions like stroke, dementia, or MS. For a free PBA fax kit, call 1-800-575-5238.
	It's clear, John.
	She has PBA. She has an illness.
	I mentioned on the last show or the show before...
	I guess it was maybe two shows, whatever.
	It was about the way she's speaking now, the pacing where she's...
	I'd have to read something to do it, but where she just interrupts between phrases that should have some connecting.
	Right, right.
	It's staccato.
	It's not even staccato, because staccato, staccato, staccato is kind of like Jackie Mason.
	Here, let me read from just this...
	I have worked in the automotive manufacturing IT world since 2006.
	My last employer, by the way, I'm going to read this letter regular too, because this is a good letter.
	My last employer provided the visors for expensive cars and That are shipped.
	You've got to do the laugh.
	You're missing the laugh part.
	Well, the point is that she's not reading, though.
	She is talking and is coming out like this.
	So I got a note from Bytelaw.
	Yeah, was it Steck?
	Steck.
	So Steck writes, she had a stroke.
	It's just that simple.
	But I think the stroke might have been able to lead to PBA. Well, this laugh that you've just identified is much better than the one I had.
	The one I had is funnier, but it's not in this context.
	It's problematic.
	I think she's ill.
	I think she needs to be investigated for PBA. I think we need to get a full workup of her given to the public.
	If we're going to elect her president, we should know if she's healthy at all.
	Yeah.
	Now, of course, laughter like that also can be associated with a lie.
	Sorry?
	Put that clip aside.
	This one with Jake Tapper?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Very disconcerting, that clip.
	Yeah.
	He's asking.
	He almost starts laughing because she's laughing.
	He did, because she is contagious.
	And so he laughed a little bit, and then he caught himself.
	Let's listen to it one more time, because I'm really...
	Let's see, where is it?
	Tapper.
	Yeah.
	I'm concerned about her.
	Bernie Sanders said that, quote, the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails.
	But there are a lot of people who are not.
	Well...
	Including FBI officials.
	Damn.
	You know...
	It's also a tell, I think, when she's lying.
	It's really a distressing clip.
	We don't have a distressing clip of the day.
	But if we had it, that would be pretty close to winning it.
	I don't know what to tell you, man.
	I'm not happy.
	Maybe there was a clown behind Tapper with a big red nose that lit, and then a spinning bow tie, and he's jumping up and down.
	We didn't get to see.
	Let's see.
	Some drone news?
	Well, before you go drone news, because I do want to go to drone news, I do want to read this letter that I began.
	Okay.
	Because we talked about this, about the recalls.
	I should have brought this letter up when you're discussing Volkswagen.
	I've worked in the automotive manufacturing IT world since 2006.
	My last employer provided the visors for expensive cars that are shipped all over the world from South Carolina.
	The warning labels on the visors differ depending on whether the car was right or left-hand drive and what the country's legal requirements are.
	A few years ago there was an incident where an employee was able to bypass safety measures and put the wrong visor into the box for a car.
	Several cars were assembled and shipped with incorrect labeling on the visors.
	This created a recall situation for three cars for which we were billed $5,000 a car.
	This is the cover all the time spent investigating the incident, the replacement parts, contacting the car's owners, shipping of the parts, and the time to the dealer to install the replacement parts.
	That was for a $15 visor with a flying baby label that warns you not to put kids in the front seat.
	This was nothing compared to a missed scoring line on the backside of some instrument panels where the airbag deploys.
	that cost some C-level people their jobs and it was for only two cars.
	I don't know if an outside vendor was involved in the VW software jiggering but I'm pretty sure some significant money will be changing hands whether it's from a vendor from VW or the government.
	So if it costs $5,000 minimum per car death death no death no but now they're going after the Lamborghini tractor.
	So there you go.
	Beautiful.
	All right.
	In my continuing quest to find out what the regulations will be for drone flying in these United States of Gitmo Nation, we receive the following reports.
	CBS News has learned the Department of Transportation intends to announce this new drone registration requirement as early as Monday, with the goal of having it in place before the Christmas holiday season, as drones are expected to be a very popular gift this year.
	The DOT will form a task force to help advise on the process, and we understand that will likely include representatives from the drone industry.
	This is a move Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx told CBS News was under consideration back in August and comes in response to growing concerns for the potential of a mid-air collision between a drone and commercial aircraft.
	The FAA told Congress last week the number of drone reports from pilots has seen a ten-fold increase compared to last year.
	Well Chris, does the drone industry support a registry?
	A spokesman for the Small UAV Coalition, which represents companies like Amazon, told me this morning the move is taking the industry by surprise, calling it a knee-jerk reaction with an arbitrary timeline.
	That said, the industry is waiting for more details about what information will be required, how it will be stored, and who will have access to it.
	The challenge currently is that the FAA says there is no way to trace drones back to their owner, thus the registration system.
	Registration of drones.
	That should be interesting.
	You'll be on a list.
	We have another list.
	If your drone smashes into something, it'll have a serial number.
	And then it'll just go rest.
	Detraceable.
	Yeah.
	I'm against all this drone stuff.
	I just need to state my position again.
	You know, this is very dangerous.
	This is very dangerous.
	If you're flying a drone like a remote-controlled...
	These are all quadcopters we're talking about.
	Yeah, that's fine.
	That's fine.
	But, you know, these things, they can hurt people.
	On the ground.
	Most of them have exposed blades.
	This is my favorite.
	I love that.
	I know.
	I know.
	It's interesting, though.
	People who are all in want gun registration.
	What are you trying to do?
	Register my drone, man.
	Leave me alone.
	People have this self-righteous attitude about their drones.
	I know a couple.
	It's fucking dangerous.
	Yeah.
	It's dangerous.
	Not just for aviation.
	It's dangerous what's happening on the ground.
	We've got a lot of people shooting them here in Texas.
	It's kind of cool.
	I think that's good.
	I've always said that's good.
	I'm all for it.
	Shoot the damn things.
	There you go.
	Alright, what else we got?
	Okay, let's do the gay ambassador story.
	Okay.
	Now, this is kind of a long story.
	This was on PBS. It went on for 10 minutes.
	We have a gay ambassador to Denmark.
	Okay.
	And unknowns to the public at large, and I guess the Foreign Service knows about this, but he is...
	Star in a reality show in Denmark.
	No.
	Yes.
	And it's a major hit.
	Oh, this is Rufus Gifford?
	Rufus.
	Rufy Gifford?
	Rufus is his name.
	I don't know.
	Let's begin with this.
	Who names their kid Rufus?
	I don't know.
	Have there been famous Rufus?
	Well, Rufus Thomas.
	Right.
	The rhythm and blues singer is the only one I know of.
	I don't know any other Rufus, and I think his name may have been made up.
	And somebody said, oh, I like that name, Rufus.
	Let's name our boy Rufus.
	And the guy who's the parent of Rufus?
	Ex-chairman, Bank of America.
	Oh.
	So let's go and take this to another level.
	Wow.
	And so he's a douchebag.
	It's a douchebag family because the Bank of America is the worst bank there is.
	So you have the chairman of the Bank of America, big finance guy, very famous person, Him and his wife, chairman of Bank of America, him and his wife have a boy baby, and they name it Rufus.
	Which, I'm looking at behind the name, it originally means red-haired in Latin.
	He's not a redhead.
	I'm just reading, several early saints had the name Rufus, St.
	Rufus.
	Okay, well there you go.
	Okay.
	Who knew?
	I didn't know there was a St.
	Rufus.
	So he's an elitist.
	That makes sense.
	He's part of the elite.
	Yeah, there's nothing to me.
	You know, you might think of Daphne or Biff.
	William II, Rufus, King of England, because of his red hair.
	Rufus.
	I'm calling him Rufy from now on.
	You can call him Rufy, but here he is, the gay ambassador one.
	All right.
	Television viewers in Denmark are tuning in tonight for the season two premiere of a surprise hit reality show.
	Its star is the U.S. ambassador to Copenhagen, Rufus Gifford, who was given the job by President Obama as a reward for raising more than a billion dollars during the last election campaign.
	He's one of these bundlers.
	Is that a billion dollars?
	In bundling, yeah.
	A billion dollars.
	Wow.
	John Doar better bring his game up if he wants to get his ambassadorship to France that he wants.
	Exactly.
	...dollars during the last election campaign.
	Ambassador Gifford, who is gay, married his partner in Denmark last weekend.
	And, as special correspondent Malcolm Brabant reports, from Copenhagen, his unique brand of diplomacy is raising eyebrows amongst traditionalists.
	Okay.
	By the way, they do make a very cute couple.
	I'll say that up front.
	In a city accustomed to flamboyance, the union of the U.S. ambassador to veterinarian Stephen DeVincent was not only the wedding of the year, but also a landmark for diplomacy, Rufus Gifford style.
	Here in the country that created fairy tales, we get to have our fairy tale.
	Whoa!
	I love that.
	And, um...
	I wonder whether he knows what he said.
	Fairy tale.
	That's pretty funny.
	I'm sure he does.
	Now I guess it's about happily ever after or something, right?
	But Americans are pretty good at that.
	So we're just so happy.
	The couple's cheerleader-in-chief is the ambassador's father, Chad, former chairman of the Bank of America.
	Rufus is just such a people person.
	He has this unique ability, and there's nothing false about it, but he just cares.
	He cares about people, and that smile says it all.
	So he is so genuine, it amazes me.
	How do you think this style helps America?
	As an American, I worry about our country and, frankly, our politicians that seem to say what they think they need to say to get elected.
	No one's ever done that before, by the way.
	Done what?
	Say what they think people want to hear.
	Just to get elected?
	This is brand new.
	Newsflash.
	Newsflash.
	Who is this guy?
	Is he serious when he said something that dumb?
	I'm worried for our country because the politicians are lying.
	I've got information, man.
	New shit has come to light.
	That's right.
	Politicians say stuff just to get elected.
	Thanks.
	Wow.
	What an insight.
	Okay.
	Anyway, so we have the gay ambassador part two of this.
	This was, again, I pulled this out of it.
	What is the name of the reality show?
	Does it have a name?
	He actually says the name here, and he says it in very nice Danish.
	Okay.
	But it's understandable to you, I'm sure.
	Within an hour of time.
	I've come from Dutchland, man, not Danishland.
	No, he's got enough of a, it sounds Dutch.
	Oh, oh, yes.
	I think the Danes speak very much like this as well when we're talking.
	There you go.
	I have a nice fairy tale.
	I am the fairy tale here.
	Within an hour of tying the knot, the ambassador was posting on social media where he has a huge following.
	So, this is as far as you can come today.
	But, on October 16th, please join us for the premiere of Jaya Ambassador from America, Season 2 on DR3. See you then.
	My time in Denmark is running out.
	There's...
	Wait, this is the show?
	So, yeah, I am the ambassador from America.
	It sounds like CSI Copenhagen.
	What is this?
	That's what it looks like, too.
	Oh, no.
	They show him on jet skis and then skiing through the Alps, jumping out of planes, and on and on.
	And it's supposed to be like a day in the life of the American ambassador.
	Well, that's what all the ambassadors do.
	They're all jet skiing, jumping out of planes.
	It is hilarious.
	Love it.
	It's the best job in the world.
	This is Average Wednesday.
	But I have just over a year left in Denmark, and I want to spend every minute of my time here engaging as many dancers as I possibly can.
	TV executive Eric Struver Hansen recognized the ambassador's box office potential and is responsible for creating a show that has wowed viewers of the country's main youth channel.
	I think it has become that big a success because of Rufus's character.
	He is what we call a big character.
	All our viewers and a lot of people in Denmark...
	Is that what they're calling it these days?
	Character?
	They love him.
	They think he's a good role model.
	He's so positive and he likes Denmark as well.
	He's very positive about our country.
	Weird if you did.
	For Ambassador Gifford, it was a huge relief when, in June, the Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage was a constitutional right, a quarter of a century after Denmark led the way.
	You're the first country in the world to recognize, you know, same-sex unions, so the idea that we're doing it here, it's a tribute to that as well.
	Holy crow.
	That's hail to the chief.
	That's giving me a pretty big promotion.
	I'm not talking about you.
	Anyway, it goes on.
	Painful.
	And you can see it is...
	Well, at least the Republicans don't have a lock then on officials who are in office or seek office who are reality show stars.
	At least we have a Democrat.
	I'm sure he's a Democrat, right?
	I presume if he...
	Yeah.
	Obama's got a billion dollars for Obama.
	That's not a Republican's job.
	Well, it sounds like he's working real hard.
	Representing.
	Flying around in choppers.
	Damn.
	Jet skis.
	No.
	Anyway, it's pretty funny.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	Well, maybe you should look at some migrants.
	Migrants is good, or I could give you some news that you've never heard.
	Oh, I'd love to hear news that I've never heard.
	Oh, well, let's wait.
	Here's a clip.
	This is how hard ABC News gets once in a while.
	And I don't know if they had to do this to appeal to their audience, but play this clip.
	When I saw this clip, first they teased it.
	They went through two, they went through the A block, teased it at the end of A, they teased it at the end of B. It was important.
	Then they play it.
	And this is ABC News report on alien structures.
	The truth is out there, as they say.
	Scientists say the Kepler Space Telescope scanning the stars has found an unexplained flickering light 1,500 light years away.
	But Jason Wright, an astronomer from Penn State University, now suggesting it could be a possible alien structure equipped with solar panels.
	His theory tonight.
	And people complain about me.
	Exactly.
	15 light years away.
	A little thing's blinking.
	A little something's going on.
	We can't see it because it's that far away.
	It's so far away.
	And we can see all that.
	And he comes up with solar panels.
	Yeah.
	This is fantastic.
	We can't show the flag or the footprints that we left on the moon from our initial moon landings, but we can see solar panels 15 light years away.
	Okay, good.
	Good.
	And I'm crazy.
	You are.
	You're crazy, crazy conspiracy nut.
	Well, when you look at all of this happening, the conspiracy theory, of course, is that please don't look at the crap that is your own Earth, which, of course, we're ruining, we're burning it up, we're killing Mother Earth, but there will be hope one day.
	One day we can live on Mars.
	There'll be water there.
	There'll be water over here.
	I know I get a kick out of that too.
	And then all of a sudden our alien overlords will come down.
	We'll be ready for them.
	We'll be happy.
	Please take me to a better planet.
	Please.
	Well, Obama bots first.
	Yes, get rid of them.
	Go first.
	All I know is I look out this view.
	You saw the pictures in the newsletter.
	Yeah, I saw the pictures.
	And I see the mud flats.
	And they're in great shape.
	It's not like they stink.
	Years ago, these same mudflats, not recently, but like 20 years ago, these same mudflats would have tires, big giant tires all over them because people used to toss their tires into the bay and then they'd wash up on a mudflat.
	And they'd all be upright.
	They'd be sitting in a circle, so there'd be all these crazy tires.
	They'd finally clean that up, and people found ways to recycle tires, so there's none of that going on anymore.
	But the tires, I was told, were valued by the fishermen who'd go out there in high tide and go and pull those tires up because they had, I guess, inside the tire was a perfect breeding ground for an animal called a night crawler.
	And they use that as bait?
	Yes.
	Nice.
	It's a horrible looking bug.
	Okay, the refugee crisis in the EU in general, but in the world, of course, if you look at the entire scope, it fascinates me to no end.
	I keep looking at the videos of families trudging through Europe, trying to get to Germany.
	And we had quite an incident in Cologne in the past 24 hours.
	An independent candidate for mayor of the German city of Cologne, who's supported by Chancellor Angela Merkel's CDU party, has been stabbed by a man while campaigning in the city.
	Henrietta Recker and an aide were seriously injured.
	Mrs.
	Recker is in the critical condition.
	Three other people were injured when they intervened to help.
	Police say they arrested a 44-year-old man who said he was motivated by Rekha's support for refugees.
	Rekha is also backed by the FDP and Greens and has been involved in supporting and helping house refugees in the city.
	So the mayoral candidate is in critical condition.
	Gee, you don't really need guns.
	You know, you can do it with knives.
	It seems to work fine.
	A lot of knifings these days.
	A lot of knife attacks.
	A lot of knife attacks, yeah.
	It's been pushed to death in Israel.
	So this is a real problem.
	In Europe, and now against all concepts of the European Union, of the state of states, we're closing borders.
	These were the last migrants to make it into Hungary before the country closed the southern border with Croatia from midnight local time.
	About 2,000 trudged through the mud past the rules of razor wire on what they hope is the next step to a new life.
	It's a measure of Europe's disjointed response to the biggest migration of people since World War II. A month earlier, Hungary closed its border with Serbia.
	That means migrants previously taken by train and bus through Hungary to Austria now face a diversion from Croatia into Slovenia.
	Both countries say they won't restrict the flow as long as Austria and Germany keep their doors open.
	The refugees, many fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, now face the onset of winter.
	The United Nations Refugee Agency fears Hungary's unilateral action will leave migrants stranded and without access even to basic shelter.
	Of course that brings an additional concern, that people will be stuck without access to the basic protection.
	Migrants have been entering Hungary through Croatia at a rate of up to 8,000 a day in recent weeks.
	Hungary says its actions are to secure the borders of the EU from mainly Muslim migrants, it says, pose a threat to prosperity, security, and Christian values of Europe.
	Okay, so that route is now closed off, the one through Hungary, but then of course we have Slovenia and Croatia.
	Coincidentally...
	Countries that Victoria Noodleman has visited.
	Just want to point that out.
	She's been to these countries.
	There's strife going on in Kosovo.
	There's people gassing the parliament.
	Now we have all kinds of issues in Slovenia and Croatia, and they're bringing in the army.
	By the busload and the trainload, the stream of refugees flowing into Europe is now heading towards Slovenia.
	The tidal wave was forced into a narrower channel when Hungary closed its borders overnight.
	Slovenian Prime Minister Mayro Sarra says his country will use the army to help maintain control.
	It is important that we reinforce the police with army personnel.
	We will be providing logistical support with transport and surveillance in border areas.
	But UN officials are now worried that Croatia may close its border too.
	If the Croatian side closes the border, there will be a lot of crowd here.
	I mean, we cannot predict anything except these people will keep needing help and they will have to cross.
	We cannot stop them.
	It's not going to take long, John.
	We've got the winter coming.
	We've got snow in Germany now.
	People are going to start losing their crap over this.
	Oh yeah.
	It's going to get violent.
	It's going to be very interesting to watch.
	I have some boots on the ground.
	I have two more.
	Two more, two more.
	And then I want to hear your boots on the ground.
	No, I don't have anything.
	I just say I have boots on the ground in Croatia that I'm going to now solicit information.
	Oh, excellent.
	Excellent.
	Because if they close off, and who knows, I would presume that Victoria Nuland, a.k.a.
	Noodleman, that she was there saying, keep it open, let them go, keep them going, just use your army, let them go, we need to destroy Europe.
	We need to, fuck the EU, we need to destroy Europe.
	Meanwhile, Calais, this is where we have the channel between France and the United Kingdom.
	Record numbers again.
	They call this camp in Calais on France's north coast the jungle.
	Only a few weeks ago, it housed about 3,000 people.
	French authorities say the population now has doubled as more migrants come in and fewer are able to move on across the channel to the United Kingdom.
	As winter approaches, inhabitants of the makeshift camp say the falling temperatures are making life harder.
	The influx of newcomers has prompted some long-time Calais residents to try to leave, according to this man who works at a furniture removal company.
	I know people who want to move away, but their problem is they can't sell their homes.
	There are migrants, so people don't dare buy.
	Britain's Interior Ministry has declined to comment on the recent increase of migrants, and those who fled war and poverty in Africa and the Middle East now sit in limbo in France.
	The pictures are just jarring to see.
	6,000 people all in tents.
	I've been through the tunnel many times.
	Just tents everywhere, a whole tent city.
	Wow.
	Yeah, 6,000 people, and they have nowhere to go.
	Of course, as we've said on the show many times, be on the lookout for what Turkey is doing.
	Now, Turkey, of course, is letting everybody go.
	This is where Erdogan becomes a very dangerous guy.
	And he is now pushing for, you know, they've always wanted to be in the European Union.
	It looks like he's pushing for some kind of extended agreement or some other form of...
	Yes.
	Well, they want the association.
	He wants some kind of agreement, I think.
	Otherwise, they're just going to keep, you know, and money.
	They're just going to keep these refugees flowing into Europe.
	So to stem the tide.
	Well, that's where they wanted to go.
	Right.
	His job, although he was doing it, his job, I can see this argument, is not to be the gatekeeper.
	Right.
	Well, he wants to be the gatekeeper.
	If I'm a Syrian and I'm sitting around and I say, you know, Germany has welcomed me.
	They want me to go there.
	I'm going there.
	Right.
	So I'm going to start walking right now.
	I mean, I would normally take a train or I'd want to take a bus or I'd want to take an airplane.
	But...
	I'll walk if I have to.
	Get out of this hellhole.
	Here's the report on Turkey.
	EU leaders are meeting in Brussels in a summit set to be dominated by the continent's migrant and refugee influx.
	And reaching an accord with Ankara is being seen as key to stopping the flow.
	This is about making it in Turkey's interest to cooperate.
	Clearly, Turkey has no particular interest in holding people back if they want to leave Turkey, but the EU is trying to change that calculus, putting things on the table that Erdogan wants, which range from money, but probably more importantly, more access to the EU, diplomatic international prestige.
	Time is ticking to find a deal.
	This is the fourth occasion EU leaders have met to discuss the crisis without substantive results.
	So what does Turkey really want?
	They want to trade with the EU, for sure, to boost their economy.
	So they want to be a member state, which was promised to them, although they violate a bunch of provisos.
	They're also dicks.
	They're total dicks.
	Erdogan is a dick.
	He's no good.
	No, but so that's where you can stem the time.
	But he's saying, I want money, I want more access to the EU. You're not going to be able to give him enough money now.
	I mean, this has become outrageous.
	Yeah, it's a problem of epic proportions.
	And I think you point out the thing that's not discussed as much, which is winter is coming.
	Yes.
	And it already looks like a harsh winter if the German reports are correct.
	Well, wait a minute.
	I thought we had global warming.
	Global warming is not weather.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	It's because of global warming.
	I have a checklist of excuses.
	It's because of global warming.
	Yeah, I remember.
	I'm sorry.
	Yeah, it's snowing because of global warming.
	Well, John, you've already looked out the window.
	You've given us the mudflats update, but unfortunately...
	For Miami and New Orleans, it's too late.
	You're all going to drown.
	You're all going to die.
	We might be saying goodbye to Miami, New Orleans, and basically the entire U.S. coast, according to a new study.
	Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study looked at the impact of carbon emissions on coastal cities and calculated when it would be too late to save those cities by cutting emissions.
	Hold on.
	Stop.
	Stop.
	I'm stopping.
	Hold on a second.
	Stop the show.
	Still stop.
	How come every year, every five years, every 10 years, every 20 years, and we can probably find literature from the 90s, there are these points where if we don't do something today, it will be too late.
	The tipping point was in 95.
	The tipping point was in 97.
	The tipping point was when that movie came out.
	The tipping point, now there's another tipping point?
	Is that what I'm hearing?
	I guess so.
	We're past it.
	We're past the tipping point.
	Oh, then what difference does it make?
	At this point, what difference does it make?
	...of carbon emissions on coastal cities and calculated when it would be too late to save those cities by cutting emissions.
	These coastal doomsday predictions are nothing new.
	There have been many sea level studies, and scientists generally project the sea level will rise 4 to 6 meters by the year 2100.
	But this study stresses lock-in dates for each city, a kind of climate deadline where if emissions aren't drastically cut back by a certain year, At least part of that city is going underwater.
	Miami and New Orleans have already passed their lock-in dates.
	Meanwhile, New York has until 2095 and Sacramento has until 2050.
	We're all gonna die!
	What?
	Did she say Sacramento?
	I mean, listen, I don't know.
	She might have.
	Miami and New Orleans have already passed their lock-in dates.
	Meanwhile, New York has until 2095 and Sacramento has until 2050.
	Sacramento.
	Wait, 2050?
	Are they claiming that in 2050 Sacramento is going to be flooded?
	I think they're saying that the turnaround date, you have to have fixed it by 2050.
	And now they're telling us we're going to get 4 to 6 meters?
	Meters, oh yes.
	That's like 18 feet?
	Yeah, we're dead.
	I'm going to have beachfront property here in Austin.
	It's going to be great.
	I'll be looking out.
	These people even know what six meters means.
	They think centimeters.
	I mean, what are they?
	Or inches.
	I mean, I get the sense they read these reports about Sacramento, which is nowhere near the ocean.
	It's like, I don't know, 45 miles in.
	What is the altitude of Sacramento?
	I don't know what the altitude is, but it's kind of beside the point when you're 45 miles away with a mountain range in front of you.
	I guess they didn't look at the map.
	How high up is Sacramento?
	Sacramento has an elevation of 13 feet.
	Oh, you're dead.
	You're dead in the water.
	Oh, you're doomed.
	You're doomed because it's going to be 8 meters.
	You're dead.
	Well, luckily, National Geographic, Nat Geo, has...
	Is running a series of warnings by our friend, Bill Nye the Science Guy, now Bill Nye the Climate Guy, an electrical engineer who used to entertain kids with his fun little science projects, who is now the spokeshole for climate change.
	We can't really fix climate change.
	We can mitigate it.
	We can get to work on it.
	We can spread it out.
	We can make things better.
	What we got to do is stop burning fossil fuels immediately, as soon as we possibly can.
	Right away.
	And then there's a strange effect that once we stop burning fossil fuels, the stuff that we put in the air is going to settle out and the world will get warmer.
	Wait a minute, let me see like a hoax clip.
	No, I clipped this one myself.
	This is not a hoax clip.
	But he says once we stop burning fossil fuels, all of it immediately, right now, then it's going to get warmer, he says.
	The stuff that we put in the air is going to settle out and the world will get warmer because this stuff is reflecting sunlight into space right now.
	When we stop producing it, the world's going to get warmer from that too.
	He's talking about particulate.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Yeah, but it's confusing the way he talks about it.
	The world's going to get warmer from that, too.
	So we just got to be ready for it.
	We got to have ways to provide clean water for everybody and ways to store electricity that we generate renewably.
	And to you deniers out there, would you cut it out?
	Cut it out, John!
	We got stuff to do.
	We got stuff to do.
	We got solutions to come up with.
	We got energy to distribute.
	We got clean water to create.
	We got things to do.
	We've got to create clean water, John.
	We've got stuff to do.
	I hope you become like the people who quit smoking.
	There's no more raving anti-smoker than somebody who quit smoking recently.
	So why don't you deniers, we'll accept you.
	Deniers, quit denying and we can all get to work.
	We'll change the world.
	The science is in!
	Science!
	Wow.
	That's crazy.
	Yeah, he's a little nutty, our boy, Bill.
	A little nutty.
	I still have my tech news.
	Well, why don't we take a break, and then we can do the tech news.
	And just to lead into it, I got some stats in from...
	Stats?
	Stats.
	I got stats from NPR. Their audience is now officially, the majority of their audience is over 65 years old.
	NPR? NPR, yeah.
	That's not good.
	20% drop-off amongst listeners under 55.
	20%!
	The programming stinks.
	I wonder if podcasts are being counted.
	I have a feeling it has to do with the nature of...
	You just think they can't do the math anymore.
	Well, you know, a lot of these programs are distributed via podcast now.
	They have their own direct advertising.
	Because, you know, NPR doesn't really make all that much themselves.
	They buy the programming.
	Your local NPR stations have local NPR news, but they buy, you know, This American Life.
	They buy Radiolab.
	They buy Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.
	It's all bought.
	And these guys are all going direct, and I think NPR is, well, we've already kind of thought they were in trouble, but if you can't even get the demo, what you want, which you really want people in their 20s, 1824, but I don't see that happening.
	1824 is a tough one.
	Yeah.
	But that's what tickles me so much when we do meetups and we see the no agenda audience.
	They do range from 16 to 86.
	There is no technical demo for the show.
	There's no demo except people...
	It's like, what's your demo?
	Everybody?
	Yeah.
	There's no such thing as an everybody demo.
	Another reason why we...
	Even if we wanted to, which we don't, we can't do advertising.
	We would go out of business in a day.
	We got no demo.
	We got no demo.
	I'm going to 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 in the morning.
	We got no demo.
	We got no demo.
	And that's the way we like it.
	Hell yeah.
	Short list.
	So you're not being pigeonholed.
	We're not trying to kick anyone off from listening because we need a demo of 14 to 15-year-olds and we don't want anyone older.
	Tom Hassel, we want to thank him and a few other people for contributing to the show 766.
	Very few people, as a matter of fact, at least at this level.
	Tom Hassel did come in with 12345 from...
	Saxapaha.
	Saxapaha.
	North Carolina.
	He says, another layer to your excellent Dem debate deconstruction.
	Did you notice that the movie trailer soundtrack is a Fleetwood Mac cover?
	There were also the soundtrack for Bill's campaign.
	What movie trailer?
	I don't know.
	What are we talking about?
	The one that I played for the women's suffrage movie.
	Oh!
	Huh.
	I didn't notice.
	That's pretty subtle.
	Well, that's the one that was playing, and I thought, you don't even hear it when you watch the trailer, but you hear it when you listen to it.
	It's subtle.
	It's subtle.
	Well, this guy, obviously, is a musician, because, you know, musicians always write other stuff, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's such a cover.
	It's not by the band.

	So I'm making this donation to your show in celebration of my husband's birthday.
	Oh, you got your pencil out?
	Hold on a second.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	My husband's birthday.
	He listens regularly.
	He's a Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	Can you please give him a short on-the-air call?
	His name is Jason Richmond.
	Sir Jason Knight of River Rouge.
	So this is Knight of River Rouge, which is the River Rouge where the giant factory was built by Henry Ford.
	Celebrating his 34th birthday on October 16th.
	With much appreciation.
	Thank you for your time, Mary.
	Glad I read that.
	And that's all.
	That's all we got.
	So we're a little low here.
	Yes.
	25% light on the spreadsheet size.
	It's interesting how you determine things by file size.
	You say, this is a very long clip.
	It's a clip.
	It's 1.8 megabytes.
	And the spreadsheet, not a lot of donors because it was only 450 kilobytes.
	I mean, it sucks.
	Yeah.
	You're an interesting man, Mr.
	Dvorak.
	I appreciate all of you.
	Thank you very much.
	Remember, dvorak.org slash NA. Help us out, please.
	We'll have another show on Thursday.
	We do need as much help as we can get.
	Thank you so much for supporting the best podcast in the universe.
	dvorak.org slash NA. I
	wanted to mention that as I was passing out on the couch...
	Actually, I was watching a documentary from 2014 about Anonymous.
	I fell asleep during the documentary.
	But then what happens on Netflix, it will go to another recommended documentary.
	And the documentary that came up was...
	I'm sorry?
	Oh, after the documentary's over, it just starts another one.
	Yeah, it starts another one.
	It just says, oh, because you watch this, you'll like this.
	And I woke up, and at first I was like, whoa, what is this about?
	So, wait a minute.
	So you were sleeping in this enambulistic state, subconscious mind, wide open, and you're listening to a documentary.
	Yeah, very dangerous.
	Very dangerous.
	But I woke up.
	And it was about the Kent State shootings, which is now, what is this, 45 years ago?
	I think they took place in 68.
	It's called The Day the 60s.
	Or 71.
	Right.
	So the documentary is called The Day the 60s Died.
	And what I liked about the documentary, of course, I didn't really know everything there was to know about the Kent State shootings.
	But the point of the documentary, I thought it was really good because it explains a lot about today's generation.
	Now, this is 45 years ago, so I would be in this generation of the children of the kids who were a part of collegiate life during the Kent State shootings.
	Does that make sense?
	Yes.
	Yeah, I'm born in 64.
	Okay.
	So what happened, the Kent State shootings all around the country, people started to demonstrate, students, when they still did cool shit, were demonstrating the war in Vietnam and going into Cambodia.
	And...
	What happened is, there was a big demonstration at this university in Ohio, and they called in the National Guard, and it's unclear why or how.
	Some say, well, they were throwing rocks and doing things.
	But the National Guard started firing live ammo and killed...
	At least four.
	Wounded many others.
	And what the documentary goes on to show is how, what it did is it really suppressed the entire demonstration, the entire movement of, you know, protesting senseless wars.
	And in fact, they indicted kids.
	Later on.
	So it was all your fault.
	So four kids were killed and countless others, well not countless, but others were wounded because you incited this, which of course is a demonstration of free speech and has all kinds of constitutional issues.
	What the documentary went on to show is that Everything changed.
	It was a big shut-up slave moment.
	And all these kids who I guess were my parents as well, they all went on to start the women's rights movement and gay rights.
	But it really suppressed an entire generation and told them, you know, when it comes to war, you just shut the fuck up and you don't do anything about it.
	And you have you must respect the military and respect authority.
	And I think it really affected everybody in my generation.
	And of course, in turn, now it has affected the millennials.
	There's no big.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	There's one thing that's always gotten me baffled, especially amongst the Obama bots and the Clinton supporters and all the Republicans is they used to be.
	But mostly about the Clinton and Obama people.
	because it was the liberals, the liberals, That used to have, used to do these demonstrations, and these are the same people, it wasn't a bunch of Republican, young Republicans at these things.
	It was the liberals, and there used to be a bumper sticker that was very popular in the Berkeley area, and I think it was popular at all university campuses, that was simple, and it was, liberals put it on their cars, Because it was a time when only the right-wingers put crazy stuff on the cars.
	That, by the way, has always fascinated me.
	It used to be the right-wingers had crazy bumper.
	Oh, that crazy bumper sticker guy.
	Now it's only liberals.
	They never right-wingers.
	They don't put anything on their cars.
	But the one sticker that kind of turned the tide in favor of the left-wingers, I believe, said, Question Authority.
	And it was a classic bumper sticker, and everyone had one.
	And nobody questions authority anymore.
	They're just like the same people that had the question authority bumper sticker.
	They don't question authority.
	No.
	They're all in with Hillary, whatever she says, lies about one thing.
	Ah, fine.
	Don't even question lies.
	They don't question anything.
	I don't know how that switched.
	And I don't think it was from Kent State, because that happened, I think, as a slow, gradual process.
	Well, these things are slow, gradual processes.
	But it's, you know, and everyone graduated eventually.
	And the global warmest.
	All the warmest are all liberals.
	This is a political movement.
	That's all you can tell, because one side's Democrats and one side's Republicans.
	People don't seem to want to pay attention to that as having something...
	No, no, no, John.
	No, no, no.
	The Republicans are all idiots.
	No, one side is Democrats and the other side are crazies.
	They're crazy.
	And it brings back the same liberals, the question of authority concept.
	Everybody agrees.
	Well, nobody's questioning authority.
	Nobody on the side that used to buy those bumper stickers that say question authority.
	We should bring those back.
	Are questioning authority.
	I think we should bring that back.
	No agenda show.
	Question authority.
	It would be a great bumper sticker.
	Question authority.
	That is what we do.
	Question authority.
	Now, it doesn't mean that we aren't wrong from time to time, but question authority.
	Question authority doesn't have to do with right and wrong.
	It has to do with questioning authority.
	Questioning authority.
	Okay, we have a couple things that have come back.
	Like bad Mexican lunch.
	Ebola's back!
	The killer that stalked part of a continent might still be in hiding.
	A new study has found the Ebola virus can last at least nine months in the semen of male survivors.
	Well, the big problem is that this really takes us into uncharted territory, because we now don't know how long we have to worry about Ebola.
	British nurse Pauline Kafferke is now critically ill, being treated in isolation at the Royal Free Hospital in London.
	Having contracted and recovered from Ebola last year, her case has stunned many.
	They just weren't expecting someone to fall seriously ill with Ebola having recovered.
	It's been known that the virus can exist in the eyes and in breast milk and in semen, but it wasn't thought that that posed a serious health risk.
	Now that theory is open to question.
	Scientists say simply more research is needed to find answers.
	Pauline's case could be a one-off, but of course it might not be.
	So I don't understand why they're saying this is a new report, because I went to our resource, which is search.nashownotes.com, and we were talking about Ebola, the virus living on in semen, for as long as 82 days from a report from May 1st.
	So this cannot be a brand new discovery.
	So this is a retread.
	This is like that story we did the other day about, you know, there was a news story that passed and now they revitalized it for a reason.
	They're trying to reframe an argument, or they're looking for money, or maybe the vaccine projects.
	I'm thinking we haven't seen the 3,000 troops return yet from West Africa.
	Remember, we sent all these troops over there.
	We have yet to see someone actually really dying from Ebola on television.
	We've seen kids lying down pretending to be sick.
	We've seen guys getting out of ambulances under their own power, walking into hospitals.
	This report actually is based on a case who had vaginal intercourse on March 7th, I guess she wrote it down, with an Ebola survivor.
	A diarist.
	A blogger.
	So this goes back to the beginning of the year.
	This is not new.
	I think it has something to do, we just sent the troops to CHAD, Wait, was it Chad?
	Chad?
	Chad.
	No, it was...
	Was it...
	No, it was Cameroon.
	Cameroon.
	Yeah, because of the pipeline from Chad.
	Chad.
	What do you want to call it?
	Chad Chad.
	I say Chad.
	I say Chad.
	So there's a lot of problems in West Africa, and now all of a sudden we're figuring out again that Ebola can linger on for nine months, and we have this British health worker.
	Yeah, it's a retreaded story for some reason.
	You're right.
	It's something to do with these...
	Oil or something over there.
	More troops.
	We just need more troops.
	More troops are going in.
	I'm happy because we get to play all the Ebola tracks again.
	the African.
	Everybody now.
	I missed them.
	I missed them.
	I like those.
	Those are some of the best tracks because they have that Calypso beat.
	They do.
	The only good phone's a landline, and the phone should be made out of Bakelite.
	All right, everybody, time for tech news.
	It is Sunday.
	This is where the tech horny never come.
	They never see what we're doing on the tech news because we've got the real tech news with the one and only tech pundit, John C. I have a couple of items.
	One is the terror watch list crashed.
	I found suspicious.
	Next tonight to a computer crash leading to long lines at several airports here in the U.S. That crash involving the terror watch list.
	Tens of thousands of passengers affected.
	Images from Dallas there.
	But this extended to Washington, New York, Boston and beyond.
	Here's ABC's David Curley tonight.
	Glitch!
	Part of the critical security system that checks those coming into the country slowed to a crawl, leaving thousands of travelers in line.
	They said there was a nationwide computer glitch.
	More than 20,000 passengers affected at customs.
	It's crazy.
	I never saw anything like this.
	The system problem coast to coast affecting international airports.
	Was this a security threat?
	I don't think so.
	They do have redundant systems in place to ensure that bad people can't come to the country.
	The problem, those redundant systems are slower, which is why for those thousands of travelers, it was a wait.
	We needed to fill out some forms, old school style, and so I filled out the form.
	The customs and border protection computer problem lasted for 90 minutes.
	It took longer for the lines to disappear.
	Each day, 300,000 passengers passed through the country's airports.
	Customs and Border Protection tells us there's no indication this was a security breach or a hack, and that the backup systems worked here at Dulles and elsewhere to make sure the passengers were properly screened.
	Oh, brother.
	This is a money grab.
	You want some faster machines.
	Well, yeah, it's interesting you say that, because when you look at what's going on with...
	With cyber at the government level.
	Oh, man.
	NSA, they're now recruiting for cyber soldiers.
	This is what we're calling them.
	Cyber soldiers.
	We need cyber soldiers.
	They're advertising on LinkedIn for cyber soldiers.
	The Army's getting cyber soldiers.
	Yeah, it is a money grab.
	It's a big money grab.
	And I need to point out again...
	None of this will end well.
	None of this.
	You cannot count on technology.
	People think just because your iPhone kind of works doesn't mean that you can rely on technology for everything all the time.
	And we're always so surprised.
	You can't believe it.
	Cyber soldiers.
	They have to audit the Pentagon.
	Now here's a kind of a...
	We can make anything tech news.
	I thought this was a peculiar story.
	This is the Iranian missiles clip.
	Okie dokie.
	I didn't know that was tech news.
	The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations insisted today an Iranian missile test last weekend was a clear violation of U.N. sanctions.
	Samantha Power issued a statement warning the U.S. will seek Security Council action.
	Now that it has determined that the Iranian missile was, quote, inherently capable of delivering a nuclear weapon.
	And at a news conference today, President Obama maintained the landmark deal over Iran's nuclear program won't deter the U.S. from pressuring the country over its missile program.
	What's a missile program got to do with anything?
	And by the way, how are they violating the sanctions?
	They are the sanctioned country.
	Yeah.
	So you say, okay, we are going to sanction your house.
	We're going to put barriers around.
	No one can come or go.
	And you can't go outside.
	You can't go shopping.
	And so I go flush the toilet.
	Oh, you violated the sanctions.
	I didn't violate anything.
	How do you violate the sanctions that are aimed at you?
	It doesn't make any sense.
	I found the whole story to be weird.
	Now I have another...
	Wait, let me put one in between.
	Let's go back and forth, sit for tat, ping to the pong, yin to the yang.
	Hit it.
	Everybody who has contributed their DNA to 23andMe or Ancestry.com, congratulations!
	As it turns out, the cops have been subpoenaing both these companies consistently for DNA data on specific people.
	So if you gave these companies your DNA, then they're giving it to the feds.
	And now they're going to come out with transparency reports.
	I can't wait to see that.
	They're taking this information, this data, And they're supposed to delete it within 30 days, apparently.
	But they're taking this data, and they're putting it into the National DNA Registry, or genetic database, I guess is what it's called.
	They have samples from convicts, arrestees, and now they're just putting your information there as well.
	You fools!
	You stupid fools!
	And this DNA stuff, it's not all locked up.
	Oh, now they find it's almost borderline useless.
	Yeah.
	Particularly here in Texas with the case where they say they miscoded it and they have to go back and since 1999 when they started codifying all this DNA, this captured DNA, they have to go back and re-numerify it or whatever it is because now if you have a DNA match, the match is 1 in 30 instead of 1 in a million.
	So, you know, 1 in a million, like, okay, that sounds like you might be the guy.
	1 in 30?
	No, I'm probably not the guy!
	And it's all for this belief in CSI. It's all for this belief in cyber and technology.
	It's all going to save us.
	CSI in particular.
	This is really, really bad.
	Well, they took the show off the air, finally.
	Okay, so the last news item I have here, I have one we can push off.
	This is the...
	Kind of news.
	You get this from the China outlets.
	And you start to realize that you don't know what the hell is going on.
	And they're not reporting any of this in this country.
	And by the way, we're going to read the Intercept stuff on the drones.
	Yeah, I've been reading it.
	It's not even being mentioned by mainstream media.
	I wonder where they got this from, because it wasn't clear.
	This is not Snowden, apparently.
	No, no.
	This came in from a source.
	All right, let's play.
	I didn't know anything like this was going on.
	We do know that China's building a railway that's running through Thailand.
	But listen, here's one.
	China Rail 1.
	Chinese and Indonesian state-owned companies have signed a 5.5 billion U.S. dollar deal to build the first high-speed railway in Indonesia.
	The line will connect the capital, Jakarta, with the country's fourth largest city, Bandung.
	The two sides signed an agreement to form a joint venture to build the railway on Friday.
	And for more on this, we can now speak live with our correspondent, Andy Saputra, who's joining us from Jakarta.
	Andy, just how significant is this deal?
	What does it mean for Indonesia?
	Certainly, Nila, it's quite a historic day for both China and Indonesia, for the two neighbors here, and the two largest economy in Asia.
	So, Indonesia, for Indonesia itself, this railway is seen as a major step forward in Indonesia's quest for infrastructure building.
	Which is seen as a way to progress its flagging economic road.
	With the railway, it is hoped to be this trip from Jakarta to Bandung that now takes around three hours will be cut almost six times faster onto just half an hour with this high-speed train.
	And that will open a slew of new opportunities for commercial and property development as well.
	Now, so they go on and on.
	They start talking about these Chinese rail projects.
	I didn't know about any of these, by the way.
	And there's one little kicker in here, see if you can identify it, of a Chinese rail project I had no knowledge of.
	China has built thousands of kilometers of high-speed railway in less than a decade as technology has gone beyond Chinese borders.
	In Turkey, the rail line linking Ankara to Istanbul is partly designed and built by Chinese rail contractors.
	The rail line is over 530 kilometers long and started operation in 2014.
	In Russia, a 770-kilometer fast rail link is under construction between Moscow and Kazan.
	Chinese and Russian companies are jointly designing and constructing the line together, which will cut the current travel time from 11 and a half hours to less than three hours.
	To the United States now, where Chinese companies have submitted construction proposals with U.S. partners to build a high-speed railway in California from San Jose to Burbank.
	The line is about 700 kilometers long and would be the first high-speed rail in the U.S. Meanwhile, in India, Chinese companies have been chosen to conduct a feasibility study for a 1,200-kilometer-long high-speed rail link between New Delhi and Mumbai.
	High-speed rail from San Jose to Burbank?
	Have you heard of such a thing?
	Have you heard of this?
	No, what I know is you can take Southwest.
	It's a 40 minute flight.
	Well, yeah, but it's beside the point.
	Have you heard of this?
	No, of course I've not heard of this.
	The one they've talked about is the one that runs from Oakland or wherever it goes out to Highway 5, goes to Bakersfield.
	Right.
	Where you don't want to be.
	And then it moves through Kern County and somehow comes in the other side.
	There is no mention in the local news, I'm in the area, of a high-speed rail project from San Jose to Burbank.
	And it's going to be Chinese?
	Yes.
	I can't wait to find out.
	And what is that really connecting?
	Well, it's connecting...
	So Elon Musk can get to the Tonight Show quicker?
	San Jose to Burbank.
	What is the point?
	What is the point?
	It sounds more like the Elon Musk expression, right?
	Well, speaking of Elon...
	Oh, wait.
	We should play our Elon drop.
	Where's my Elon?
	Here we go.
	Here he is!
	Oh, Elon!
	Oh, Elon!
	Yes!
	Automatic steering, anyone?
	Want a warning before you ding the car next to yours while changing lanes?
	Tesla Motors releasing these features and more Wednesday.
	But the way it's rolling them out is capturing almost as much interest as the functions themselves.
	It's done over the air, which means that Tesla owners will get a notice on their panel, on their instrument panel, telling them that a software update is available.
	It's the latest sign of how car companies are evolving, moving beyond sexy hardware to software, and operating on the frontiers of tech.
	Tesla CEO Elon Musk expects a fully hands-free experience in the not-too-distant future.
	I think that I'm confident that within three years the car will be able to take you from point to point, basically from your driveway to work without you touching anything.
	You could be asleep the whole time.
	You could be asleep the whole time within three years.
	Let me ask you a quick question.
	Yeah.
	So this over-the-air updates, you don't think there's any kind of like maybe not a good idea?
	Well, forget over-the-air updates being compromised.
	And hacked?
	If you own a Tesla, I guarantee you, you have a high likelihood of death.
	There's no evidence of that.
	Not yet, but there is evidence of this.
	These updates, and I've seen a lot of YouTube videos, people know, oh look, I got the update and now it can drive, look, it's driving by itself on the highway.
	This is already taking place.
	People are letting go of the steering wheel on the highway in their Teslas.
	Because, you know, they've released a little bit.
	Oh, and not everyone has the update.
	Oh, I want the update.
	It's the same mania as, oh, I want iOS 9.0.2 because I have, like, extra special features.
	Yeah, and then your Wi-Fi doesn't work and all the things crap out.
	All software has bugs.
	This is a very bad idea.
	This is a very, very bad idea.
	And everyone's buying into it.
	Oh, how cool.
	I've seen people go to YouTube and search for Reboot My Tesla.
	The screens are freezing up.
	So you're driving along and all of a sudden your entire dashboard, not the big screen in the middle, but your entire dashboard just freezes.
	So you have no idea how far you can drive.
	You have no idea how fast you're driving.
	Nothing.
	All of that information is frozen.
	And there's a way you hit like the two buttons on the stimulus.
	People are rebooting their cars while driving.
	I guarantee you, this is not going to end well.
	You have to stop this.
	This belief that it'll all work.
	Your iPhone is not life or death.
	And thank God, to the rescue, coming out, hopefully within the next few months, a brand new book called Anti-Tech Revolution, Why and How, written by the one and only Theodore Kaczynski.
	What?
	Yes.
	He has a new book coming out.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	I missed that story.
	Yeah.
	I have the provisional content listing.
	I don't have any of the text.
	So it's preface, chapter one, the development of a society can never be subject to rational human control.
	Chapter two, why the technological system will destroy itself.
	Chapter three, how to transform a society, errors to avoid.
	Yeah, don't blow people up.
	Chapter 4, Strategic Guidelines for an Anti-Tech Movement.
	I'm thinking this is for me.
	Well, I think you're going to have to read it.
	I'll probably read it, too.
	I have one last story if you want to do it, but it's outside of tech news.
	Well, let's close off the tech news, then.
	Here we go.
	iPhone, schmy phone!
	All right.
	All righty, that's it for tech news, everybody.
	The tech news can be found here every Sunday.
	Another tech news is in the can.
	Now, if anybody wants a good read after the show, go to, I would say, Wikipedia.
	Read the entire entry for Unipro Serra.
	Uniprocero?
	Yeah, the guy that the Pope gave a blessing turned him into a saint.
	And there's a couple things.
	I got this clip.
	And everybody's, all the Native Americans, everybody in California is up in arms about this because the guy was a brutal, he was a brute.
	And he's always seen with a little boy, by the way.
	Anyway, so the latest thing going on, they've been defacing his statues, pushing him over.
	But this latest story, the headless statue, just cracked me up.
	I'm Dan Green.
	We are beginning tonight with what is being done about the decapitated St.
	Sarah statue in Monterey.
	Action News reporter Caitlin Conrad is live in Monterey with our top story.
	Dan, both Presidio Police and Monterey Police Department are investigating this case, but so far they haven't been able to find the head yet.
	And the city says without the head it's going to be a whole lot harder to repair this statue.
	I don't know when the damage happened, but experts say decapitating a solid granite statue would be no easy job.
	Whoever damaged that came prepared for, he knew exactly what to do because he couldn't afford to make any noise.
	And I believe he got hit with a sledgehammer or something similar to be able to knock the head off and take it away.
	Vito Diastiani, a third-generation stonemason, said he knows a little bit about granite.
	We've been doing this for a long time, and we know quite a bit about stone.
	We know a lot about stone, actually.
	Giustiani says there are only a few ways to create the kind of damage the vandals did, either with a sledgehammer or with a diamond-encrusted saw.
	You need to have a gas power saw, which will make a lot of noise.
	It can be an electric diamond blade on a quick saw, but they need to have a generator with them because I don't think they will ask you for power next door or something like that.
	So whoever did this already knew exactly what to do when it went up there when prepared for that.
	And her head is gone.
	Okay.
	I just thought it was interesting.
	So I did do a little research on Sarah.
	Besides the wiki page, there's a couple of...
	You have to find out.
	What was it?
	He supposedly had to have two miracles in your portfolio to become a saint, and he only has the one except for becoming a saint.
	Well, that's the second one.
	Yeah.
	Second one.
	Very funny.
	What do you think it was that he did?
	Well, and you're not going to even...
	I'm not even going to have you guess.
	I have no idea.
	You know what it is?
	No.
	Oh.
	Well, apparently a few years ago, like, I don't know, 10 years ago, some woman, just recently, do you remember the guy died in 1784?
	But a few years back, apparently some woman was cured completely, which I don't know if it's even possible, and this is a misdiagnosis, of lupus, and credited it to Sarah.
	Hmm.
	Just by receiving the credit?
	Yeah, he's getting the credit.
	Now there's been a bunch of these.
	There's somebody with most of their brain missing and they've been operating on this person's brain and been pulling pieces out and pulling pieces out and the person's still alive after like 45 brain operations and that person says that it's because she or he prayed to Unipro Sarah and that should be a miracle.
	That's enough.
	Every one of these has been rejected.
	There's a whole bunch of them.
	Apparently, every time something happens and you credit it to one of these people that aren't saints, you report it to the Vatican, and then they go over it, and they say, well, we don't think so.
	But the lupus one apparently got through the bureaucracy.
	And so that's why he's a saint now.
	Oh, man, we cure so many people of horrible thinking.
	We should be saints.
	We should.
	Got my sash.
	Saint no agenda show.
	Well, speaking of decapitations, we've brought Ebola back and we're bringing back Jihadi John.
	He's ISIS's best-known killer, presiding over the beheadings of Americans James Foley and other Western hostages.
	He may have killed some himself, and with each video, he's trash-talked his enemies.
	Obama.
	You have started your aerial bombardment in Sham, which keeps us striking our people.
	So it's only right we continue to strike the necks of your people.
	Tonight, a new and bizarre account of the cruelty handed out by Jihadi John, the masked ISIS militant identified by Western officials as British national Mohammed Mwazi.
	Daniel Rye, a 26-year-old Danish photographer held by ISIS for more than a year, says one day, quote, he picked me up and I had to dance the tango, It's not really that surprising that he would have this kind of almost clockwork orange sense of, you know, sinister humor about torturing and abasing one of his hostages.
	A lot of the ISIS trolls on Twitter were laughing about this.
	They think it's hilarious.
	Where are the ISIS trolls on Twitter?
	Is that ISIS troll?
	I don't know.
	I've never been able to track any of these guys down.
	These security experts who have all these contacts, man, I'm missing out.
	They're laughing about this.
	They think it's hilarious.
	In an interview with Danish TV, Rye said when Jihadi John was tangling with him, he kept his eyes on the ground.
	Looking Jihadi John in the eyes, he said, would bring a beating.
	He says he was beaten anyway after the dance.
	Then, Rye says, quote, they finished by threatening to cut my nose off with pliers and things like that, where I was thinking, what the F? So, be on the lookout for another beheading video.
	Well, this begs the question.
	Why aren't they beheading some Russians now that the Russians are actually doing real bombing?
	Let's see what happens.
	But they're bringing him back.
	He's back on the main stage.
	He's been very quiet for a while.
	A lot of retreading going on in this show that we've identified.
	Yeah, well, maybe it's the season.
	It's the season.
	Oh, a late email coming in from Boots on the Ground in Cologne.
	Here's what Turkey wants.
	This makes a lot of sense, actually.
	Turkey wants visa-free movement to the EU, so they would want to become a part of the Schengen zone.
	And this, of course, fits right into Erdogan's caliphate, because he really wants the Ottoman Empire.
	He is the caliphate.
	He wants the Ottoman Empire to expand, so he wants visa-free movement into the European Union, and that would make a lot of sense.
	Hey, do you want these people documented?
	We'll send them all in.
	They have the right papers.
	then I'm going to fall for that.
	Thank you.
	Well, something's got to give eventually.
	What it should give is the British should immediately get out of the EU. The Brexit is on deck for sure.
	Okie dokie.
	It's another depressing show, it looks like.
	A little bit.
	The last show, which was an outstanding product, one of the best shows we've ever done, number 765, if you haven't listened to it, was uplifting and we got no donations, so maybe we should do the downturn.
	Well, we'll just see what we can make out of it.
	We'll see if we can make hay.
	Okay, I'm going to go back to my coma.
	All right, good.
	It's an extra day to recover.
	It's bad.
	It might rain, it might rain.
	Oh, please.
	Let me do the stick again.
	Rain in Austin.
	Rain in Austin.
	It should rain about Wednesday.
	Well, that would be okay.
	That's usually how it works.
	Yeah.
	It's a couple days behind.
	Coming to you.
	You have a rain stick leg.
	I do.
	Coming to you from FEMA Region 6 here in the Crackpot Condo, downtown Austin, Tejas.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where the tide is out, the mud is in, and I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back on Thursday.
	Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA right here on No Agenda.
	Adios, mofos.
	Ah!
	Ah!
	Obama, Ebola, has the storm.
	Ebola's gonna kill us all.
	Get behind me, Satan!
	Down with the devil!
	Down with the fraud!
	Get out of the road!
	Get behind me!
	You understand that?
	Get out of the road, New World Order!
	Get out of my mind!
	Get out of my free will!
	Get out of my way!
	Humanity is going interstellar.
	You know, Bernie Sanders said that, quote, the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails.
	But there are a lot of people who are not.
	Well...
	Including FBI officials.
	I take a back seat to no one when you look at my vagina.
	Oh my gosh!
	Can you see that juice?
	Today I want to talk about me and pork.
	I get a kick out of getting my dick out.
	So let no one doubt it's going in a pig's mouth.
	As I said, I'm going to get me some head from a pig who's dead.
	This is big.
	I'm going to stick my dick in a pig.
	I'm Joe Biden and thank you for taking the time to listen.
	Adios, mofo.
	And wash your hands after touching any raw meat.
	The best podcast in the universe.
