	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Thursday, October 29th, 2015.
	Time once again for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 769.
	This is no agenda.
	Celebrating eight years of reality guardianship and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone, Star State, FEMA Region 6, Austin Tejas.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where this is a beautiful eighth anniversary.
	I'm John C. Devorak.
	Here we go!
	Celebrate eight years!
	Come on!
	Come on, John!
	Play your harmonica, man!
	Play your harmonica!
	Come on, yeah!
	Celebrate eight years!
	Come on!
	Eight years, 769 episodes, and you actually were playing in tune during the pre-stream.
	That's right.
	Harmonica.
	I got messages, people saying, hey!
	John's finally playing on key.
	Playing in tune.
	Yeah.
	Well, congratulations.
	I'm getting better.
	Congratulations, John.
	Congratulations to you, Mr.
	Adam Kern.
	Congratulations to all ships and sea boots on the ground, subs in the water, feet in the air, and all the dames and knights out there.
	Exactly.
	Yo.
	Okay.
	And, of course, you never want to be sick on your birthday, but I'm going to leave.
	Next October, I'm not going to be in Austin.
	Well, is the continuation of the dreaded mold?
	Yeah, so we had all the rain, and then there was like two...
	Well, rain causes mold.
	Well, first rain washes away the mold, and I had, you know, oh, what is it, two and a half, almost three days of glorious...
	I was outside, I'm walking around, I'm feeling good, and yesterday, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, cranks up.
	This morning, mold levels off the chart once again.
	This is the time of year that you should be in the trailer.
	Yes, in a different state.
	Yeah, perfect.
	You've got the trailer.
	This is no argument.
	I don't know how many times you have to go through this, but this is like your fifth time, I believe.
	Fourth time.
	This is your fourth go-round.
	This is by far the worst, though.
	You got the trailer.
	If you didn't have the trailer, I wouldn't be lecturing you.
	Would you mind refraining from calling it a trailer?
	I mean, call it the airstream of consciousness.
	It's not just a trailer.
	Like I'm a trailer.
	Like a double wide or something.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	Double wide trailer.
	No, no.
	You have the trailer?
	Yeah, I'm doing it next year.
	And I think we also have a mold period somewhere in February.
	I don't remember that.
	Hmm.
	Anyway, so there we go, 769 episodes.
	How come people in Austin aren't roaming around the streets with either like a Scott air pack or a breathing apparatus or something so they don't ingest the mold?
	That would do it.
	I think that's what I need.
	Would it help if I had one of those, you know, like the Japanese face masks?
	Think that would help?
	I think the mold, I think the size of these spores is so small, they'd go right through them.
	But I don't know, maybe.
	If you took the face mask off later when you got home and you saw it was all black in front.
	Oh, it was disgusting.
	It was disgusting.
	Okay, oxygen tank.
	I could probably get one of those.
	Yeah.
	Just with a mask?
	Yeah.
	I should get a scuba gear.
	I have a tank on my back and walk around through town.
	Hey, how you doing?
	I'm here to pick up my dry cleaning.
	Exactly.
	Nothing wrong with me.
	Nothing at all.
	I don't know, for some reason, I see that you had the same.
	A lot of clips today.
	Well, it turned out that the dreadful Republican debates, for starters, were hilarious.
	It was one of the best television shows I've seen in a long time.
	Yeah, we had...
	Well, at least two.
	I don't know about Becky Quick.
	She wasn't that bad.
	I like Becky.
	I like Becky a lot.
	Yes, I thought she was okay.
	But hold on a second.
	No, Hardwood.
	Hardwood, whatever his name is.
	He's running for president, I think.
	That guy's the biggest douche on television.
	That was unbelievable.
	And all of a sudden, Rick Santelli, they let him ask a question?
	I love that.
	Yeah, what's he coming on for?
	Well, he's CNBC, and he's the guy that all of a sudden will go on a crazy rant about how everything's screwed.
	He's kind of like an Ayn Randian type person.
	Right.
	But then they had worse than that was Kramer.
	Yeah, that was...
	I mean, it was really like, okay, we'll let everybody who's ever done anything on the channel, we'll let them in.
	What were the ratings?
	Have we checked the ratings, by the way?
	No, I haven't.
	You want to check the ratings?
	Yeah, I'm going to check the overnight ratings CNBC debate.
	Let's see.
	Because they probably won't have the full ratings just yet.
	Ratings drop, it says here.
	Let's see.
	Well, I wasn't going to watch it.
	I mean, I can see a lot of people not watching it.
	Let's see.
	They had 10 share.
	So that's going to be about 7-8 million, I'd say.
	So significantly less, but I have to say...
	Yeah, but CNBC, who the heck even knows how to find it?
	You know, even I was watching MSNBC for a couple hours before the debate.
	For some reason, I thought it was going to be on MSNBC, and then it's like, oh, it's on CNBC. It might as well have been with the bias of that group.
	Yeah, it was pretty interesting.
	I mean, obviously I got a couple of clips that I just thought were interesting.
	Let me see.
	I see you have one that I'm glad you got that about Trump doing the deal for this show to be two hours.
	Yeah, and then the guy jumps in at the end, that Hargraves guy.
	No, it wasn't.
	It was always going to be two hours.
	Let me play this clip.
	This is your Trump on two hours.
	I presume that's what it is, right?
	Yeah.
	Three and a half or three hours.
	It was a big sacrifice, and I have to hand it to Ben.
	We called Ben.
	He was with me 100%.
	We called in.
	We said that's...
	That, by the way, is a stroke of genius.
	You know, it is so smart of Trump.
	I mean, this really shows what the guy's doing.
	He's good at negotiating.
	He got a competitor in.
	He said, hey, let's form a common front.
	We're not doing it.
	They lost a lot of money.
	Everybody said it couldn't be done.
	Everybody said it was going to be three hours, three and a half, including them.
	And in about two minutes, I renegotiated it down to two hours so we can get the hell out of here.
	Shut up.
	Perfect.
	And I'll do that with the country.
	We will make America great again.
	And thank you, everybody.
	Just for the record, just for the record, the debate was always going to be two hours.
	That's not right.
	Absolutely not right.
	That is not right.
	Thank you.
	You know, America doesn't owe me anything.
	What does he mean by just for the record?
	What is it, some sort of legal thing going on?
	Yeah, you know, so I don't get called on it later in my career.
	I don't know, it was stupid.
	But that to me was kind of a highlight where Trump said, look, all this bullcrap, these long shows, I know entertainment.
	Now, that's not saying that the same skills run a country.
	But he's certainly a great television executive.
	He's right.
	This was exactly the right amount of time.
	It moved along.
	Everybody was interesting and funny in some way.
	Entertaining, for sure.
	And I thought we really saw personality during this.
	And it certainly had more personality than the Democratic debate.
	It was...
	Well...
	I liked it.
	Since we're on, I might as well get this out of the way and play a few clips.
	You want me to play the best clip of the night?
	Please, please.
	For starters, and then I can back off a little bit.
	Okay.
	The best clip, I thought, and there were some great clips because they were going at it and they were getting the audience on their side and the audience at one point actually booed.
	Yeah, booed the question.
	Booed the question.
	Yeah, it's fantastic.
	Well, it was very clear.
	Mainstream media sucks.
	That was the theme, and these guys fell right into the whole thing.
	Okay, but the best clip...
	Which I think I have to say is a Trump-led initiative.
	It was fantastic.
	In fact, let's start with one of those.
	I think that we have Ted Cruz starts off by going after the panel.
	And this is what I think triggered the whole thing.
	Because he was the first.
	This was his first question.
	And he was asked a stupid question.
	All the questions, they're right.
	They're very negative.
	They weren't about topics.
	You're falling down in the post.
	What are you going to do about it?
	I have to say, the way Cruz is either...
	He's probably a brilliant litigator.
	But he remembered exactly what all the dumb questions were.
	He paraphrased each question to make it sound even dumber.
	So either he knew what all the questions were, or he's just good, I guess.
	I think he's pretty good.
	Surprising to me.
	Cruz Rant 1.
	Prevent a government shutdown and calm financial markets.
	The fear of another Washington-created crisis is on the way.
	Does your opposition to it show that you're not the kind of problem-solver American voters want?
	You know, let me say something at the outset.
	The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don't trust the media.
	This is not a cage match.
	And you look at the questions.
	Donald Trump, are you a comic book villain?
	Ben Carson, can you do math?
	John Kasich, will you insult two people over here?
	Marco Rubio, why don't you resign?
	Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen?
	How about talking about the substantive issues?
	You know, the only thing I cannot get past the guy's voice Oh, he's got a scratch.
	Oh, nasally shitty voice, yeah.
	And he's got that preacher's voice.
	It's a real problem.
	So let's play the rest of it, because it goes on, and then he tries to answer the question, and then that John Hargraves guy cuts him off.
	Harwood, Harwood, Harwood, Harwood.
	Hardwood.
	He's not Hardwood, it's Harwood.
	How about talking about the substantive issues people hear?
	Now, this is where I started doing cocaine again, around this time.
	Do we get credit for this one?
	And Carl, I'm not finished yet.
	The contrast with the Democratic debate, where every fawning question from the media was, which of you is more handsome and wise?
	So, this is the question about the debt limit, which you have 30 seconds left to answer, should you choose to do so.
	Let me be clear.
	The men and women on this stage...
	Have more ideas, more experience, more common sense than every participant in the Democratic debate.
	That debate reflected a debate between the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks.
	Also, good line.
	Good line, Mensheviks.
	I think the line was too intellectual, but it was good for the University of Colorado.
	it was.
	I thought it was fine.
	And nobody watching at home believes that any of the moderators has any intention of voting in a Republican primer.
	The questions that are being asked shouldn't be trying to get people to tear into each other.
	It should be, what are your substantive solutions to people who are heard it mentioned?
	I just want the record to reflect.
	I asked you about the debt limit, and I got no answer.
	Okay.
	You want to answer that question?
	I'm happy to answer that question.
	Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Let me tell you how the question is.
	Let me tell you how that...
	Let me tell you how that...
	Senator Paul, I've got a question for you on the same subject.
	So you don't actually want to hear the answer, John?
	Senator Paul...
	You don't want to hear the answer.
	You just want to hear the answer.
	You used your time on something else.
	Senator Paul...
	You're not interested in an answer, John.
	I'm interested in an answer from Senator Paul.
	Senator Paul, the budget deal...
	Oh, you didn't have the best part on there.
	What?
	Which is Becky Quick, which is a great name, by the way.
	Becky Quick.
	Becky Quick, top of the hour.
	Becky Quick here.
	She said, that's at moderator's discretion.
	I didn't hear that.
	Oh, yeah.
	I don't have it either.
	But right at the end there, he said, how come I'm not getting the mic to answer the question?
	And Becky says, it's moderator's discretion.
	It was mean.
	It was mean.
	Well, Cruz had two other things, which I liked a lot.
	This is...
	Yeah, this is, he was talking to the, who was the other, the guy asking most of the questions?
	Quintala, what's his name?
	Yeah, that guy.
	First of all, John, before we go to break, we're clearly not having that beer you mentioned, but I'll give you 30 more seconds.
	But I'll buy a tequila.
	I like that because, you know, it's completely racist, except I guess Cruz can say that.
	If anyone else has said, I'll buy a tequila, it would have been, you know, a trigger for racism.
	Or even some famous Colorado brownies.
	I'll give you 30 seconds to respond.
	That was famous Colorado brownies.
	That was kind of cute.
	Yeah, it was cute.
	And then Trump did, I thought, one of the best assassinations I've ever seen.
	This is the one against Kasich?
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, man.
	I didn't even realize this.
	So, you know, Kasich's going on.
	Well, you know, that's a...
	I wonder about it.
	Kasich denies it.
	First of all, John...
	I didn't have time to look it up.
	Me neither.
	Here we go.
	I'll look it up.
	First of all, John got lucky with a thing called fracking.
	Okay?
	That, I think, is true.
	That his state's doing well because of fracking.
	Well, absolutely.
	He got lucky with fracking.
	Believe me, that's why Ohio is doing well.
	And that's important for you to know.
	Number two, this is the...
	You've got to set this up.
	This was after Kasich went after Trump.
	I think he said people are...
	He says he's going to be an incompetent bonehead, and he can't do all these things he says he's going to do.
	We can't afford to have a guy like this as the president.
	Yes, yes.
	So, clearly, he went after Trump, and that's why Trump retaliated.
	And that's important for you to know.
	Number two, this is the man that was a managing general partner at Lehman Brothers when it went down the tubes and almost took every one of us with us, including Ben and myself.
	What did that mean exactly?
	Were they invested in Lehman Brothers?
	Why does he bring Carson into that?
	That would be the assumption, and probably both of them were.
	Interesting.
	Because I was there, and I watched what happened, and Lehman Brothers started it all.
	He was on the board, and he was a managed general partner.
	And just thirdly, he was so nice.
	He was such a nice guy.
	And he said, oh, I'm never going to attack.
	But then his poll numbers tanked.
	That's why he's on the end.
	And he got stabbed.
	So you know what?
	You can have him.
	You can have him.
	Yeah, perfect.
	Did you see the earlier debate, the happy hour debate?
	Yes, I only have one clip from it because I thought the earlier debate was no one would answer any questions and the panelists, the guys doing the debate didn't care.
	So you'd ask me a question just right now.
	Be a person.
	Ask me a question.
	Do you think we should put boots on the ground in Syria?
	You know, I'm glad you asked that.
	It's about to, for one thing, let's talk about grocery prices.
	Have you noticed the price of certain kinds of commodities have gone way up?
	Yeah, is that how every kind of, yeah, a lot of questions were answered that way.
	I can't believe every question was answered like that.
	Yeah.
	They wouldn't touch any of them.
	And then we had the situation.
	I'll play this right to start it off because it's short.
	But we started off again with Lindsey Graham, who's yucking it up as though it's just a fraternity thing.
	I have a Lindsey Graham clip, too.
	But this is my Lindsey Graham clip.
	This is, again, I don't know what he thinks he's accomplishing when he does this.
	Why is he calling himself a dummy?
	Governor, Senator Gregg.
	Well, number one, thank you for having me here tonight.
	How about a round of applause for Boulder, Colorado?
	This is a beautiful place.
	Looking at their academic standards, the only way I could have gotten into this university is to be invited to this debate tonight.
	Somehow I think he believes that's endearing or something.
	He's crazy if he thinks that.
	Yeah, this is very endearing.
	You know, I'm the dumbest guy here.
	Is that endearing?
	Well, here's the clip that I thought was just cringeworthy yet funny.
	Here's the problem.
	We're being walked all over because our commander-in-chief is weak in the eyes of our enemies.
	Do you think Putin would be in the Ukraine today if Ronald Reagan were president?
	Why are the Chinese stealing our intellectual property, hacking into our system?
	Why are they building islands over resource-rich waters?
	Because they didn't get away with it.
	At the end of the day, ladies and gentlemen, the foreign policy of Barack Obama needs to be replaced, and the last person you want to find to replace his foreign policy is his Secretary of State.
	So to the Chinese, when it comes to dealing with me, you've got a clenched fist or an open hand.
	You pick.
	The party's over to all the dictators.
	Make me Commander-in-Chief and this crap stops.
	That's the only thing you got from the first thing, because there was nothing.
	I didn't hear anything.
	I thought it was horrible.
	There was nothing else.
	I got a couple other election clips in general.
	Do I got to finish these?
	I got to finish...
	Yeah, of course.
	I thought you were done.
	All right, good.
	Well, first of all, let's play another shorty.
	This is Kasich in the opening.
	I knew he was nervous when he said that you were here in the opening.
	This indicated to me that he was nervous to begin with because he couldn't speak.
	So he built up his nerves to go after Trump, and then he got beaten back, and that was the end of it.
	But just listen to the little gaffe he makes here in his opening.
	We'll go left to right.
	Governor Kasich, 30 seconds.
	Good question, but I want to tell you, my great concern is that we are on the verge, perhaps, of picking someone who cannot do this job.
	I've watched to see people say that we should dismantle Medicare and Medicaid and leave our senior citizens out in the cold.
	I've heard them talk about deporting 10 or 11 people here from this country, out of this country.
	Yeah, all 11 of them.
	I cracked up.
	10 or 11 people.
	Did he not know he was going first?
	Do you think he must have known?
	I don't know whether he was...
	It doesn't matter.
	He was just nervous.
	He was a nervous wreck.
	Also, he has zero presence on camera.
	He's probably a pretty good guy.
	He might even be a good president.
	He's never going to get there.
	He has zero presence.
	He lacks karma.
	Tons of it.
	He should donate and we'll give him some.
	Yeah, he should donate.
	Yeah.
	Another one that was kind of an interesting little...
	This is another shorty.
	This is Carson, who again, for all practical purposes in this clip, says he shouldn't be president.
	I've heard this, yeah.
	Carson, probably in terms of applying for a job of president, the weakness would be not really seeing myself in that position until hundreds of thousands of people began to tell me that I needed to do it.
	Yeah.
	What does that even mean?
	Yeah, it was...
	You know, it's so hard.
	Ben Carr, and I want to like the guy, and he's actually quite likable, but his way of being forceful is just going, well, this is crap, which is kind of funny, but he doesn't really, you know, what is the job of the president?
	None of these guys is going to actually change anything.
	We know this is the same with every president.
	Yeah, he can do executive orders, and the president has, you know, a lot of freedoms to do things, but really, he's a sales guy for the country.
	Isn't that the point?
	Isn't that what the president really...
	He's the father figure, make everybody feel good or excited.
	So that's important.
	And then also, he's a sales guy.
	He's got to make sure the business is being run.
	It's the chief executive.
	It's a business.
	Now, I found that I knew this was going to be kind of a very slanted, at least they attempted it to be, even though you're right, it made it much more entertaining because they were so bad.
	Well, also, ahead of this, we had, you know, this poll which showed that Ben Carson was ahead.
	And, of course, I looked the poll up.
	They all promote, yeah, all the networks promoted this.
	Right, and this was a New York Times-CBS News poll.
	Now, I believe this was only in Iowa, right?
	I don't know.
	Yeah, but they made it sound like, you know, Trump is second.
	I did notice one thing when they showed the poll at the very end.
	What do you think the plus and minus was?
	It's exactly the difference.
	It's a 6% difference.
	Seven.
	Oh, it says here.
	Hold on.
	I have it here.
	The one that showed on the TV screen said seven.
	Hmm.
	Well, that's a mistake.
	Because what they did is it was 575 people who were polled.
	Let's see, here we go.
	On October 21st, 25th, on cell phones and landlines, 575 Republican primary voters, the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 6 percentage points for each candidate.
	And of course, that is exactly the difference between the 22 and 28 percent.
	So they could be neck and neck, but you know, I guess that's a representative sample.
	I've had so many arguments with people about statistics and stuff, but I guess it's a representative sample.
	And Carson has the religious thing going.
	People like him for that.
	People really like him.
	Well, I think the poll is bullcrap.
	Here's CBS promoting the bad polling for Trump.
	Ah, yes.
	The Republican presidential race, the doctor is in first place.
	Our new CBS News New York Times poll shows Ben Carson has staged a quiet coup, knocking Donald Trump out of the top spot by four points.
	The polls told us a number of fascinating things, and with more on that, here's Major Garrett.
	Major?
	So it seems like the poll is all over the place.
	You saw seven on the screen, I see six in the New York Times.
	He's talking, you know...
	Scott, Donald Trump's support has eroded across every demographic group we surveyed, but two instances really caught our eye.
	Among Tea Party-inspired voters, Trump's support has fallen from 27% last month to 19%.
	Ben Carson now leads here by nine points.
	Among evangelical voters, the two were tied last month.
	Now Trump trails Carson 35 percent to 13 percent.
	Now it's not all bad news for Trump.
	He retains two advantages.
	The first, Republican voters see him by almost a two-to-one margin as the most likely to win the general election next November.
	I don't know if you got a clip of this, but I don't know, was it before or after?
	Trump is now saying that he's about to start really spending, which I think made a lot of people happy.
	No, I did not catch that.
	Yeah, I don't know if it was, was it on the debate?
	Well, before these debates began, and I'm still getting to my top clip, and you'll see why I'm...
	You clearly have a path.
	This is what bothered me quite a bit.
	This is the Clinton to run ads during the debates.
	I don't know how this could be allowed.
	But it was only in Iowa and New Hampshire, right?
	Well, that's all that counts.
	Yeah.
	But they shouldn't be running ads at all.
	This is like, can Clinton run ads on her own?
	On the Democrat debate, too?
	Why not?
	I don't know the rules, but I do know that...
	The rules are...
	There's no rules.
	I mean, if you're a CNBC and you want to take her ads...
	Ah, no, that's the difference.
	I think the...
	No, no, listen.
	I think how it works is she bought local ads and you buy it from the cable station.
	Now, that may be Comcast.
	I don't know what...
	But you buy it on the cable stations for that local market.
	The cable stations have a number of pods to insert local ads into.
	Well, here's a little presentation on the local news here about it.
	And you can hear Hillary, and she's gone back to her one word at a time cadence.
	You hear the beginning of the ad.
	Hillary Clinton is going to run ads during tomorrow's Republican debate.
	On average, women need to work an extra two hours each day to earn the same paycheck as their male co-workers.
	The Democratic presidential candidate will be airing a series of ads that feature working women and middle class issues.
	Among those issues, equal pay for women.
	Clinton hopes to give viewers a chance to compare her candidacy with her GOP rivals.
	Well, I thought this was chicken shit.
	This whole thing, the crappy guys, the crappy questions, Hillary ads, and all the rest of it can be put right on the porch, put right in front of Rance Priebus.
	This guy is a disaster for the Republican Party.
	He's a noodle.
	And he's a nudnik, and he just looks a little bit like Jeff Bezos with hair, by the way.
	All right, here is the top clip.
	And you can tell me why I think this is the top clip, because it brings up an underground subject.
	He doesn't say it, but he hints at it.
	This is Huckabee on the Clinton machine.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	The leading Republican candidate, when you look at the average of national polls right now, is Donald Trump.
	When you look at him, do you see someone with the moral authority to unite the country?
	No.
	There's a few questions I've got.
	The last one I need is to give him some more time.
	I love Donald Trump.
	He is a good man.
	I'm wearing a Trump tie tonight.
	Get over that one.
	Is that made in Mexico?
	I don't know.
	Is it made in China?
	Made in China or Mexico?
	I have no idea.
	And by the way, such a nasty question.
	But thank you, Governor.
	You're welcome.
	Let me tell you, Donald Trump would be a better president every day of the week and twice on Sunday rather than Hillary.
	I've spent a lifetime in politics fighting the cleaning machine.
	You want to talk about what we're going to be up against next year?
	I'm the only guy on this stage.
	You know everybody has an only guy.
	I'm the only guy this.
	I'm the only guy that.
	Let me tell you one thing, that I am the only guy.
	The only guy that has consistently...
	I fought the Clinton machine every election I was ever in over the past 26 years.
	And not only did I fight them, but I beat them.
	Somebody says I'm a fighter.
	Well, I want to know, did you win?
	Well, I did.
	And not only did I fight them and win, I live to tell about it.
	And I'm standing on this stage tonight as evidence of that.
	I think that ought to be worth something.
	And, you know, did you see the National Enquirer this week?
	No.
	Oh, no.
	It's Hillary's going to jail.
	And they have, you know, they've got the doctored pictures of her with handcuffs on and stuff.
	And it's about the Vince Foster murder.
	I'm sorry, suicide.
	He shot himself in the head twice and had the gun in his left hand.
	And, you know, so they're saying that the Secret Service is going to, you know, We know the Secret Service does not like her.
	But yeah, it's the Clinton kill list, or the body count, if you want.
	That was a direct reference to it.
	Oh yeah, and she was on Colbert again.
	Now you recall last time she was on Colbert was during the...
	Was that the previous Republican debate?
	I think it was.
	And so she wasn't on the same day, but a day before.
	I actually thought it was a repeat.
	I'm like, wow, she's on again.
	It may be, because he's been running repeats all week.
	It is not a repeat.
	You checked.
	Yeah, everyone was talking about it.
	I think it was a repeat because this week he took off.
	Well, did we hear this the last time then?
	What do you binge watch?
	Do you have a show you really like?
	We have a lot of them, and we finally finished House of Cards.
	It took a while because we were slow going.
	Do you watch that show and ever yawn and go, ooh, this?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So old hat.
	Another murder, I mean, really.
	Exactly, yeah.
	That is so sick in context.
	Another Murdy, ho-hum, whatever.
	Old hat for the Clintons.
	Yeah, it was a rerun.
	It's hard for people, when I tell people, you know, it's like, you should really not become friends with the Clintons ever, and here's why.
	You know, even if I point them to the, all of the, there's no doubt a lot of Clinton friends die.
	Now, that doesn't necessarily implicate them.
	You get pretty good at this.
	Hey, it's like potato chips.
	You eat one, you finish the whole bag, keep on going.
	Hillary did something, I thought, off base.
	And I have to tell you, Mika Brzezinski, daughter of the elitists.
	My heart is going out to her.
	She's doing some interesting analysis of her own.
	And this was where Hillary Clinton went out around the country after the Democratic debates and said, well, you know, some people say I'm shouting about gun legislation.
	Well, some people think that when a woman speaks up, she's shouting, which was clearly a slam at Bernie Sanders.
	And Mika Brzezinski tore Hillary a new one on that, and I really liked it.
	I've been told to stop shouting about ending gun violence.
	Well, I haven't been shouting, but sometimes when a woman speaks out, some people think it's shouting.
	And listen to the program bots all in on it.
	Jeez.
	And this was unfair.
	It was unfair.
	It's not what Sanders intended.
	I won't be silenced, and I hope you won't be either.
	How many more people have to die before we take action?
	Is that sexist, though, what Bernie Sanders said?
	No.
	That was...
	Don't make me say it, Joe.
	No, say it.
	No, please don't make me say it, because then, you know...
	Well, let me just say that's pathetic.
	Okay.
	That's just absolutely pathetic.
	That was pathetic.
	That's pathetic.
	I know that she's a front runner.
	I'm sure she's going to win and go for it.
	I'm glad.
	You know, she's going to win, but that is pathetic.
	And by the way...
	That was like Veep.
	That is the sort of...
	That was Veep.
	Straight out of Veep.
	And somebody wrote the line.
	It was worse than Veep.
	It wasn't funny.
	And...
	When Veep does it, Julia Lurie drives it, it's hysterical because it's so ridiculous.
	That wasn't even funny.
	That was pathetic.
	I know sexism.
	Hillary Clinton knows sexism.
	She should know better than to let her staff make her do that.
	It needs to be her.
	She needs to get out there and talk.
	Everyone stop writing lines for her.
	They're bad.
	Really bad.
	And when we talk about sexism, when we talk about women and equal pay and all these things that are important, let's not denigrate it with that stupidity.
	Let's not.
	Because we embarrass ourselves.
	Yes!
	I'm like cringing.
	You really shouldn't have asked me.
	I'm glad you answered.
	I'm going to get killed.
	I'm going to get killed?
	That was pathetic.
	There you go.
	Everyone's worried about Hillary killing them.
	Pre-debate, there was a lot of different things going on.
	By the way, I'm going to stop here for a second, because when we get to the meat discussion later, it's the same thing.
	Yeah.
	I'm a little tired of people saying, well, we know she's going to win.
	Well, we know she's going to be the nominee.
	We know she's going to be the next president.
	This is bullcrap.
	This is what he said.
	He said that, well, we know she's going to win.
	Mika said that, actually.
	She said it.
	We know she's going to win.
	No, I think he said it.
	I'll double check.
	Whatever.
	It doesn't matter.
	Everybody says it.
	Well, that's the same thing as saying, I like Donald Trump, not that I'd vote for him.
	That's the same thing.
	It's chicken shit is what it is.
	It's pathetic.
	It's beyond that.
	Well, the whole thing.
	This is coming to the conclusion before this.
	Calling you all.
	We know that the New England Patriots went undefeated one year, so they're obviously going to win the Super Bowl.
	They lost it.
	Yeah.
	Bernie Sanders, I think, is making a mistake.
	He's let his wife out into the wild.
	Uh-oh.
	Yeah.
	This is Jane O'Meara Sanders.
	Sweet woman.
	She's very sweet.
	She's kind of like a little bit of hippie vibe to her, which I kind of like.
	A little bit, yeah.
	But she is way too in on the political correctness tip.
	In this interview, this is about a minute, and she does it not once, but twice.
	It's like an anecdote or a trait of his that you think, God, I wish everybody in the country knew that.
	It's got nothing to do with issues, but just about him.
	Well, I mean, he loves music, and he's just very sincere, and when he's not talking about the issues, and he's with seniors, for instance.
	Seniors?
	What does that mean?
	Seniors from the New World Order, or Bilderberg, or high school?
	When he's not talking about the issues and he's with seniors, for instance, in Vermont, he's very there.
	He's very present.
	He's listening to them and enjoying what they're telling him.
	He is thinking in the back of his mind what else has to happen.
	But, you know, he does a Christmas party every year, a holiday party.
	Alright, so she corrects herself there.
	The political correct thing to say is we had a holiday party, not a Christmas party.
	And I'll give her that, but she does it again.
	We're coming to that.
	Good, good.
	For seniors, and then there's one that somebody...
	He ran his first campaign for mayor against a condominium complex, a luxury condominium complex on the waterfront.
	He wanted a people-oriented waterfront.
	The developer of that has become a very, very good friend.
	He's a Republican.
	You know, we've never asked him for any donations or anything.
	He's become a very good friend.
	And he started with us 35 years ago to have a Christmas party or a holiday party for low-income families.
	They told her it's a holiday party.
	It's a holiday party.
	That is borderline clip of the day because it's so obtuse.
	Thank you very much.
	I will accept your borderline clip of the day nomination.
	Borderline clip of the day.
	That is a fantastic catch.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's because I heard it twice.
	Oh, come on, lady.
	First time, I'm sure you didn't even notice it, but when you heard the meme, it was like a meme at that point.
	Christmas, I mean holiday.
	A holiday party.
	Like Kwanzaa.
	I mean holiday party.
	She was actually...
	That may actually be the way she always describes it.
	She wants to get the Christmas word in.
	So she's not getting cowed out of this.
	I'm going to say Christmas because it's Christmas.
	Because she looks like that type.
	But I'll measure it by saying holiday as a correction.
	Even though I said Christmas.
	That's possible.
	So if you catch her doing it two or three more times, which I bet you could, that's what she's up to.
	Having lived in a couple of socialist countries and knowing how it works and particularly what does not work, and when I went back to the Netherlands at the turn of the century, went back to Europe, I found it very difficult to conduct business.
	Because there's the rules, there's so much to change.
	It was crazy town.
	It was like a culture shock.
	And Rand Paul, his conclusion is kind of off the wall, but he says a few things here about Bernie Sanders, and of course he's referring to Bernie Sanders and socialism.
	Yeah, the problem though is Bernie complains about crony capitalism, and he kind of gets it right, but he equates it with all of capitalism, and he actually promotes something called democratic socialism.
	Yes.
	And I've been trying to point out, because I'm on a lot of college campuses, we have a big following in college campuses, that there's nothing sexy and there's nothing cool about socialism.
	What there is is the implied force that goes along with taking away your choice.
	They tell you, you cannot make reindeer, you cannot make...
	He meant well, but I don't think you want to say you cannot make reindeer.
	What the hell is that, you moron?
	They tell you you cannot make reindeer, you cannot make cars, you cannot sell water.
	Only the state tells you what you can do.
	It's the most anti-choice economic system.
	true if you don't listen they find you if you don't pay the fine they imprison you if you will not listen ultimately what has happened in history and people get mad when i say this but they exterminate you and that's what happened under style and people say oh no no he wants democratic socialism the problem is a majority can be just as bad as one single authoritarian and that's why we shouldn't allow any of our rights to be subject to a majority Our founding fathers understood that.
	They understood that your rights come from your Creator, and no majority should be able to take them away from Him.
	I don't agree completely.
	I don't know if the rights came from the creator.
	It doesn't specify that, but these are inalienable rights.
	We had the rights when we were here, but he added the creator part in.
	I'm not so sure if that's true.
	How about the 3x3?
	I saw ABC really hammering Trump based on that poll.
	I don't have any clips from ABC hammering Trump.
	I have one.
	Or do I? I have one.
	I have one.
	Here's one.
	First, I want to say about Donald Trump.
	He makes me smile in the course of this.
	Watching him yesterday is like a guy with Iowa electile dysfunction trying to give his folks polling Viagra to get his poll numbers up.
	He just wanted to get that Viagra line up.
	Is there some bonus?
	Pull numbers up.
	There must be some kind of deal.
	If you mention Viagra, you get $100 or something.
	It could be.
	Then I have Ben Carson, who was a bad boy when he was a kid.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	He was a troublemaker.
	He was at the New Hampshire University.
	Yeah, I heard this too.
	You want me to play it?
	Yeah, play it.
	For me, I couldn't wait until school was out.
	Baseball, basketball, dodgeball, any kind of ball.
	Throwing rocks at cars, I really liked that.
	Anybody remember throwing rocks at cars when they were young?
	There were a few honest people.
	Everybody did.
	Did you ever throw rocks at cars?
	I can't remember doing that.
	We threw rocks at each other, but not at cars.
	Because it was so much fun.
	Because you know those old people, they would sometimes get angry, and they would stop the car, and they would get out, and they would chase you.
	And we would run slowly to encourage them.
	When they were nearby, we were gone like a flash.
	But you know, sometimes the police would come, always in unmarked cars.
	And they'd be chasing us across the field.
	And they would think they had trapped us.
	There were these tall fences.
	They were about 10 feet tall.
	They had no idea how adept we were at getting over those fences.
	I made full speed ahead, never break stride, leap high into the fence, a lot of momentum of your feet to swing you over the top, drop down on the other side all in one motion, and laugh at them because they couldn't do that.
	Now, that was back in the days before they would shoot you.
	I mean, really?
	Really?
	That's probably true.
	Yeah.
	I have a clip about a cop shooting that I think only ABC, or I think only one of the networks is playing this, but this is the cop shooting in South Carolina.
	It's a white kid where they had a picture of me, some white, goofy-looking, gawky kid, looked just like some wannabe engineer of the future.
	And play this clip.
	To another breaking headline late today.
	ABC. ABC? Yeah, ABC. There will be no state criminal charges after an unarmed teenager on a first date was shot and killed by a police officer.
	This is the teenager his family outraged tonight and for the first time authorities have now released the video from that fast food parking lot.
	You can see the images the moments right before the officer opens fire.
	Investigators revealing what they believe happened and why they believe the shooting was justified.
	ABC senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas tonight.
	The young couple was sitting in the car after buying ice cream on a first date.
	It all goes down in seconds following a sting in which undercover police allegedly sell drugs to a woman riding in this car with 19-year-old Zachary Hammond.
	Seneca, South Carolina police officer Mark Tiller, with his handgun drawn, tries to make an arrest.
	Briefly stepping in front of Hammond's car.
	But Hammond attempts to speed off.
	Officer Tiller fires.
	Hammond struck twice in the side and back dies.
	Today, a South Carolina prosecutor concluded the shooting was justified, that Officer Tiller had reason to fear for his life, and that he had a difficult decision to make in just three seconds.
	Okay, so they show the video.
	And if you hear the description, he was shot twice in the side and once in the back of the head.
	And supposedly, this is fine because he was fearful for his life.
	The kid was driving away.
	And so the cop just kills him over apparently a lid or a half an ounce or something of pot, which is another reason to legalize this drug.
	What's a lid?
	A lid is the old term for an ounce.
	Okay, thank you.
	Amen.
	Very old term, sorry.
	Can you walk into a dispensary and ask for a lid?
	I bet you they know what you're talking about.
	Oh, okay.
	At least in California.
	That's like a hippie term, a lid.
	Amen.
	Yeah, a lid.
	It was a lid.
	And so they shoot this kid who's got nothing to do with it.
	And the girl gets arrested.
	Nothing happened to her.
	I'm sure it was the worst date of her life.
	And it was a murder.
	It was a murder, plain and simple.
	And the South Carolina prosecutors and everybody involved in this are corrupt to not get this guy taken off the streets.
	My wife used to actually train to be a policeman when she was younger.
	And she knows a lot of...
	A police officer, you mean, to be correct.
	Policewoman.
	And so she knows a lot of...
	Hey, do you remember Angie Dickinson, Pepper, policewoman?
	Yeah.
	That was cool.
	So she says that the old guys are trying to get out of the force...
	Because the young kids are coming up, don't seem to understand how this all works, and they just as soon shoot and kill some teenager over some small amount of marijuana.
	A lid.
	A lid.
	A small amount of marijuana.
	Are you going to stay on this lid thing forever?
	No, no, I like it.
	It's cool.
	I'm sorry.
	To kill...
	Because I'm trying to make a point here, which is these cops don't give a shit.
	These younger cops...
	And, I mean, all week we've been watching the same thing about this one brutal cop who pulled some kid out of a chair.
	Yeah, so we have the Ferguson effect, is what we now have.
	Have you heard about this conversation?
	Well, I do have a clip of it, actually.
	I have Comey versus the president versus the police.
	Well, how about I play mine first, and then we'll see if yours fits into it.
	Do you agree with her?
	This is former New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.
	On with Brolf talking about the Ferguson effect.
	Do you agree with the remarks of the FBI Director James Coby when he suggested that this rise in crime?
	Did he say Coby?
	He might have.
	Let me roll it back.
	You never know with Brolf.
	Do you agree with the remarks of the FBI Director James Coby?
	He does say Coby.
	He said Coby!
	What an idiot.
	When he suggested that this rise in crime in some parts of the country may be the result of the chill that has swept law enforcement since Ferguson.
	Yes, I do.
	I commend Jim Comey for telling it like it is.
	I mean, if you talk to police officers in other jurisdictions, not only In New York, where I am, they'll tell you that.
	They're backing off.
	A lot of police work is discretionary, and they don't want to put their careers at risk, they don't want to put their family's well-being at risk, so they're hesitating somewhat.
	In some people's minds, I guess that's a good thing.
	In my mind, it's not a good thing.
	Proactive policing, in my judgment, has reduced crime in this country for two decades.
	Smarter policing, better use of technology.
	Now, They are not taking the initiative, you might say.
	And that's what's causing, in my judgment, not totally, but to a significant extent, an increase in violent crime in 30 major cities throughout the country.
	I can't blame them.
	It's probably the older guys like, fine, let the young guys do it.
	I don't want to be on TV. When something goes wrong.
	Mimi also pointed out these old guys think these young guys are dangerous.
	They appear to be.
	They're not good police.
	They appear to be, yeah.
	And this is probably influenced from these stupid shows on television.
	We're always killing everybody.
	Yeah, let's just shoot the guy.
	So here's the Comey comment.
	Kobe.
	It's Kobe now.
	Kobe's comment that really got everybody bent out of shape.
	Police officers have fueled an increase in crime.
	Speaking to police officials at a conference in Chicago Monday, Comey said the so-called Ferguson effect is just common sense.
	And so the suggestion, the question that's been asked of me is, are these kinds of things changing police behavior all over the country?
	And is that what explains the map and the calendar?
	The honest answer is, I don't know.
	And I don't know that that explains it entirely.
	But I do have a strong sense that some part of the explanation is a chill wind that has blown through law enforcement over the last year.
	The White House, meanwhile, disputed the FBI director's claims about the supposed connection between increased crime and increased scrutiny of police, saying, quote, This was a police conference in Chicago, I believe.
	Which is kind of funny by itself.
	How many people die every day in Chicago?
	Seven, eight?
	In a weekend, 40 people die.
	I heard Obama's thing.
	I have a clip of that.
	I got a clip of that.
	You want to hear the clip?
	Yeah, let's hear what Obama says.
	And by the way, this was influenced by Al Sharpton, who's still working in the White House as far as I know.
	And I found this, the way he said it, And this is one of those rare cases where I didn't take out the long overdrawn pauses that he puts in.
	It sounded condescending to me.
	We can't stop every crime.
	We can't prevent every tragedy.
	There is evil in the world.
	There are just some bad people.
	You don't know why sometimes.
	It just happens.
	You can't always make excuses for it.
	Sometimes you can't even understand it.
	That's why we need laws.
	That's why we need law enforcement.
	How about poverty?
	That's why your job is dangerous.
	So we can't eliminate all of that.
	This is the same conference.
	Yeah.
	But if we take some of the actions I just talked about, then we will be able to help you do what you do every day, which is save people's lives.
	We'll be able to make sure that The society is a partner with law enforcement.
	That we're not just sending you out there to do dirty work and then hanging you up to dry if it doesn't work out well.
	Which is exactly what you do, Mr.
	President.
	Exactly what you do.
	But then instead, we're all working together.
	Tackling these hard problems.
	No.
	No.
	Whenever there's white officer, black victim, or perp, or dead kid, or whatever, you're always out there.
	Saying this has to stop.
	Sorry.
	Anyway, I think that Comey, I think everyone's kind of missing the point of what causes this.
	What happened in Ferguson is not a new thing.
	It's happened before, and it's still a sketchy situation in Ferguson.
	I don't think any of that's affected the cops.
	I think one thing did affect the cops, and I think if there's any drawdown in policing, which is obviously not the case in South Carolina where they killed that poor kid, if there's any drawdown, it's because of Baltimore.
	Yes.
	Baltimore.
	And if you look at the Baltimore stats, it's Baltimore where the crime is rising.
	It's Baltimore where the murders are going up.
	Because the Baltimore police did not like the idea of six of their own being arrested for murder for tossing some guy around in the back of a van.
	Yeah.
	That was the end.
	A guy with a female black mayor who's not backing them up at all and is in fact going after them.
	This is a rebellion going on in Baltimore.
	We need to have a conversation in this country.
	But nobody mentions Baltimore.
	Well, of course not.
	It's a sore spot.
	It doesn't look good.
	And with that, I'd like to say thank you for your courage.
	And in the morning to you, John C, where the C stands for Kobe Dvorak.
	And in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning, everybody in the chatroom, noagendastream.com.
	And thank you for all showing up for our 8th anniversary celebrations.
	In the morning to 20WattBulb, along with all of our other artists, 20WattBulb.com.
	I brought us the artwork for episode 768, Terror Tuesdays.
	It was a beautiful eight ball in anticipation of the eighth anniversary.
	And you can always find all of the submitted artwork at noagendaartgenerator.com.
	We have a few fine executive and associate executive producers for show 769.
	I want to mention that the list that will appear on the page On the show notes?
	When it's produced, the show notes and the show page will include everyone who's donated 3-10-26 and 2-10-26 as their second executive producer credit.
	We also have a couple people that donated more and they wanted to pull some money out of that.
	And how about the 8888s?
	No.
	No?
	Okay.
	No, we thank them on the show.
	I don't know.
	They got thanked.
	I haven't been paying attention.
	I do the audio production.
	I'm the audio guy.
	I'm the audio guy.
	Yeah, we did.
	The doubles are the doubles, and the 88s are the 88s.
	All right.
	And the doubles were promoted as doubles.
	The 88s never were.
	They're just, you know, like a sack of eights.
	The sack of eights, gotcha.
	Or eight ball or whatever.
	So let's start with Derby Dyke in Tucson, Arizona, $310.26.
	He also wants to call out Marv S. of Tucson.
	Douchebag!
	Douchebag!
	And Stephen V. of Bethlehem.
	Douchebag!
	He says...
	Wait, and I have Josh S. as well.
	Josh S. Douchebag!
	Okay, we got all three of them.
	He wants to thank us for our courage.
	Happy 8th anniversary.
	And he wants me to pick a jingle.
	And every time I... You know, I always want to write some jingles down because everyone wants to think of some classic jingle that we haven't played for a while.
	Yeah.
	But how about playing the Bugs Bugs thing?
	Oh, I love Bugs.
	The Bugs song.
	Yeah, okay.
	Hold on.
	Usually I have that handy.
	Here we go.
	Bugs.
	I love bugs! Bugs, bugs, bugs!
	You've got karma.
	Tastes like poop.
	Nailed it.
	Tastes like poop.
	Tastes like poop.
	Adam Kalawaski in...
	Let me just close because I've got to have his note.
	Deutschland.
	Wurzburg.
	Wurzburg.
	Wurzburg in Deutschland.
	310-2016.
	He sent us a note, a little email, no big deal.
	But he did send it.
	It's easier, he says, it's easier to donate to No Agenda than buy a rug on Amazon.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Hail Sir Adam, the Baron of Poland.
	Oh, yes.
	So he's the Baron of Poland.
	Hail!
	He's Adam, the Baron of Poland.
	I guess.
	Yeah.
	Well, thank you, Adam.
	Yeah.
	The Incognigro comes in with $250.
	He sent a long note, but he doesn't want me to read it.
	He doesn't want you to read anything?
	No, he does want me to read the following.
	Incognigro, living a self-imposed exile here in northeastern Pennsylvania, so now we know where he is.
	Sovereign of right, of the night nursing staff, where everyone chimes in with $250, or he chimes in with $250 to encourage the excellence that is the No Agenda, episode 765.
	Remember, we mentioned that's one of our best episodes.
	That's his note.
	He also sent a longer note.
	Thank you, Incognigro.
	Thank you.
	Yes.
	He says hail apple at the end.
	Hail apple!
	Shamanic ape in Kingsford, Michigan.
	Kingsford, I believe, I could be wrong, but maybe where they were manufacturing the charcoal.
	Because Michigan is where the idea came from.
	Charcoal was an idea that was hatched between Henry Ford and Edison.
	Because they were making these cars and they were using wood frames and they had all the sawdust they didn't know what to do with and Ford wanted to turn a quick dime on it.
	So they invented the charcoal briquette.
	Really?
	Yes, and it's called King's Ford.
	So they invented that before the hibachi?
	I believe so.
	Because the hibachi, I think, used wood initially.
	I don't know.
	National charcoal.
	King's Ford.
	King is the king of inventors.
	And Ford.
	King's Ford.
	Oh, okay.
	I didn't know that.
	So they named a town after it.
	Wow.
	Please forgive me for I've been a douche.
	I hope this small donation will begin to repay the value you have provided for your excellent analysis and entertainment.
	Sincerely, Shamanic Ape of the Ruikius.
	I don't know what the root cure says.
	I don't either.
	So do we have a letter?
	We have another note, missing note, which is Andre Kelka from the Czech Republic.
	$210 is K-E-L-I. I should be able to find it.
	Yeah, it's Andre with a J, right?
	And an O. I don't have anything from him.
	I don't think we've ever heard from him, actually.
	No, I just see the note.
	I don't see anything from him, from that name, anyway.
	Alright, well, if he has something to say, he'll send it later.
	Yeah, and send us some details on what's happening in the Czech Republic.
	Yes, the Czech Republic is important.
	Nicholas Blexrud.
	They have unusual names.
	21026.
	He'll be an associate executive producer along with Andre.
	Portland, Oregon.
	And he has a note, that's for sure.
	Let me click on it so I can blow it up.
	Come on.
	Congrats on the eight years, long-time droner, second-time donor.
	Can I get a de-douching and a douchebag?
	Call out to give him a de-douching first.
	You've been de-douched.
	And a douchebag call-out to both Aaron Abramson.
	Douchebag!
	Long-time listener, no donation, he says.
	And Terry Knee...
	Douchebag!
	Sorry, say it again.
	Terry Kneebling.
	Douchebag!
	Student.
	But he donates.
	What are we giving him a douchebag call-out for?
	I don't know.
	I've stopped my subscription with my local NPR radio station, and I am instead giving it to the only two people who give me the truth.
	I guarantee the mainstream NPR superfans driving around in their hybrids plastered with NPR stickers know that their beloved station was underwritten by the Koch brothers.
	They'd probably shit a brick.
	Thank you both for your dedication to deconstruction.
	Keep it real, mofos.
	Can I get a Don't Eat Me Hillary so juicy and a Hillary laugh?
	You betcha.
	Don't Eat Me Hillary Clinton!
	Oh my gosh!
	Can you see that juice?
	Ha ha ha!
	You've got karma.
	That's a horrible combo.
	Yeah, it is.
	Benjamin Carlson in St.
	Louis, Missouri.
	Dear John and Adam, ITM to the best podcast in the universe.
	I apologize for this for $200, by the way.
	Apologize for the long delay since my last donation.
	I mailed a check a few months ago, but it was never cashed.
	Really?
	So I'm afraid it never arrived.
	Hopefully this one will come through.
	Thanks to the both of you for your excellent deconstruction of the news media, and since native advertising has been a pet peeve of mine for some time, now I appreciate it's become a regular topic on the show.
	Can I get a douchebag to Jeff Jarvis and his consummate shilling for old Google?
	Okay.
	Google shill.
	Seriously, that guy needs to give it a break.
	He gets paid from him.
	Anyway, keep up the excellent, or he gets his expenses, I don't know, something.
	Anyway, keep up the excellent work and since I'm celebrating 60th or so anniversary of the U.S. Army spraying zinc cadmium all over St.
	Louis just to see what happens, can I get a chemtrails followed by a boom shakalaka and a Hillary laugh?
	Yeah, you bet.
	Chemtrails.
	Bingo, bingo, boom, boom, chakalaka, boom, boom, boom, boom, chakalaka, boom, boom.
	Boom, chakalaka.
	Boom, chakalaka.
	You've got karma.
	Finally, our last associate executive producer is Marvin Burkholder in Waterloo, New York.
	$200.
	Please play out of my vagina juice and karma.
	So he wants, she wants out of, oh God.
	He wants the vaginas thing, the juice thing, and karma.
	I love the show.
	I drive my big rig on the third world roads to get other big riggers that are, listen...
	On the third world roads in the great state of New York, the one bright spot is that New York is the home state of the future god-emperor of the universe, the Honorable Donald Trump.
	Uh...
	Where?
	I know what he wants.
	I think this is it.
	He wants the whoopee thing.
	Yeah.
	I don't know if this is the right thing.
	Can you see that juice?
	Get out of my vagina!
	What else did he want?
	He said karma.
	He's good.
	I think that's good.
	I think it's good, too.
	You thought karma.
	Actually, that order was better.
	It was so screwy.
	Anyway, this is the folks for executive and associate executive producers for show 769.
	I want to remind people, we do have a show coming up on Sunday, and it's usually a big drop-off after this.
	This is a good time on Sunday, I suggest, to get an executive or associate executive producership, because usually there's a big drop-off after an anniversary, and we have to do everything we can to get our donations back up for the rest of the month.
	And in addition to that, you know, for our executives and associate executive producers for today, you can now say executive producer or associate executive producer of the 8th anniversary show.
	Yeah.
	It looks good.
	Yeah, and you can do that with all the extra, with all the special double dippers that will be listed.
	All right.
	You can all do that.
	And we'll have that on the show.
	Well, I was going to say, you can find it at the show notes, noagendashow.com.
	And of course, if you want to find everything, archive.noagendanotes.com.
	And remember us for this coming Sunday's program.
	And moving into our ninth year, we always need you to be doing the important work of Procmetting Formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Hey, citizens.
	Shut up, slave.
	Oh, shut up, slave.
	Hey, did you see Ted Koppel on the NewsHour?
	Oh, you know...
	I... This was...
	Did you get it?
	Yes!
	Because I... Here's what happened to me.
	I was listening to...
	The News Hours also played on public radio, at least locally.
	Yeah.
	And so I can kind of pre...
	Because I'm recording it.
	And so they play it, and there's Ted Koppel.
	And I said, oh, man, I've got to rush home to get this, because it's ridiculous.
	Uh-huh.
	It is off the charts.
	It's like the poor bastard can't get work or something, or somebody stole his money.
	I have no idea.
	Well, this is all connected.
	It's all connected.
	You do it then.
	Okay, the CISA, that's the Cyber Information Sharing Act, passed the Senate.
	And if you look at the committee report, which I have a copy of in the show notes, of course, marked up, this is really...
	An unbelievable violation where every single company that provides any kind of service on the internet, so that is your Google, that's your Yahoo, that's your Amazon, your Apple, everybody.
	Your ISP. Your ISP, that's right.
	Everybody will, by mandate, have to share, and they want to do this in automatic fashion.
	There's a cyber threat indicator that will go straight to the feds.
	And these companies will be indemnified.
	So they can't get in trouble.
	They can't get sued.
	They can't be prosecuted for doing this.
	Violation of Fourth Amendment.
	None of that applies.
	Why don't we just indemnify everybody for everything?
	So, the only thing I wanted to read, and this will lead us into Koppel, because this is why all these things are happening right now.
	This is why everything cyber is about this bill, because it's going to come to a final vote and it's going to have to pass.
	What I liked about this bill, for the show that is, is the definition.
	So, here's a clause here under the first article.
	The term cyber threat indicator is one of the most important definitions in this act.
	That, of course, got my attention.
	It is defined as information that is necessary to describe or identify.
	And so here's what cyber threat indicators are.
	So if you do any of the following things, you will be reported to the authorities.
	One, malicious reconnaissance, including anomalous patterns of communications that appear to be transmitted for the purpose of gathering technical information related to a cybersecurity threat or security vulnerability.
	What if you're a cybersecurity researcher?
	Or what if you just want to ping and see if Google is live?
	That could be reconnaissance.
	It is.
	Trace routing, pinging.
	That is reconnaissance.
	Probing ports, all of that stuff.
	Two, a method of defeating a security control or exploitation of a security vulnerability...
	Which even if you forgot your password and you keep re-entering stuff.
	That's your Tor network.
	That's your VPN. Yep.
	That's any of those things that you commonly use.
	As do you.
	Three.
	A security vulnerability, including anomalous activity that appears to indicate the existence of a security vulnerability.
	I'm not sure what that means.
	Well, I'll tell you this.
	It's a bad thing.
	This is discouraging the white hat guys who go in there looking for problems.
	That's true.
	What is it?
	X day?
	One day?
	What is that?
	Exploit.
	Zero day.
	Zero day exploits.
	The guys who go out and find those things, which protects us all, they're in violation.
	They should be locked up.
	Four.
	They're trying to make this worse.
	Oh, yeah.
	This is why Snowden is no good.
	Snowden is pushing for this, too.
	Four, a method of causing a user with legitimate access to an information system or information that is stored on, processed by, or transmitting an information system to unwittingly enable the defeat of a security control or exploitation of a security vulnerability.
	That's also your white hat guy.
	Five, malicious cyber command and control.
	I mean, that could even be a remote desktop.
	Six, the actual or potential harm caused by an incident including a description of the information exfiltrated as a result of a particular cybersecurity threat.
	So if you describe or if you repost information exfiltrated as a result of a particular cybersecurity threat, hello, WikiLeaks, that will be in violation.
	Yeah, this is one of the many things out to get WikiLeaks.
	Or the press.
	Or the press.
	Or whistleblowers.
	I mean, they have a clause about whistleblowers, but screw it.
	Seven.
	Any other attribute of a cybersecurity threat if disclosure of such attribute is not otherwise prohibited by law.
	So, any other attribute of a cybersecurity threat...
	If disclosure of such attribute is not otherwise prohibited by law, what does that mean?
	It's vague.
	Eight.
	Any combination thereof.
	Perfect.
	What's the combination for?
	And so the NewsHour, this all happened on the same show.
	They, of course, they got into the...
	They did a sit-down.
	They had a little forum, which was co-sponsored by the CIA. And, of course, Brennan was there.
	And Gwen Ifill was the moderator.
	So could we...
	I mean, are you a shill or what?
	And as a part of all this happening right now, they, of course, talk about his email being hacked and listen to not only what he says, but then how PBS, public television...
	Just lies.
	I asked Brennan about it today at a forum co-sponsored by George Washington University and the CIA. I certainly...
	I think saying George Washington University and the CIA is like the same thing.
	It's the same thing.
	It's the same thing.
	I certainly was...
	I'm concerned about what people might try to do with that information.
	I was also dismayed at how some of the media handled it.
	The implication of some of it was that I was doing something Yeah, wrong AOL. Was his background check form, which has a lot of information on it.
	It has his address, his kids, what he's done, his health.
	It's a draft, but it's a full-on background of Brennan.
	But then listen to how the NewsHour explains what was lost.
	Which was certainly not the case.
	The hacked data included Brennan's contact list and his wife's social security number.
	You liar.
	You liar, Gwen Ifill.
	That's a lie!
	It had so much more!
	It's covering up.
	So then at the end of the show, Ted Koppel comes on.
	Now, Ted Koppel, for those who don't know, was a news anchor, one of the big three.
	It was Tom Brokjaw, Peter Jennings, no?
	No, no.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	He was the...
	Anchor at the Nightline show when it was actually a news show forever.
	You're right.
	This guy Reynolds was the first guy.
	Reynolds was, I can't remember his first name, but Reynolds, who was the real, the model for this type of reporting, was the anchor at news...
	I can't even remember the name of the show half the time because it's been degraded so much.
	He was the anchor on the show during the hostage crisis during Carter's administration and he starts the show with Nightline.
	He starts the show with We are going to stay and report on this exclusively until the hostages are recovered.
	And it was day six.
	Then it became day 30.
	Then it became day 90.
	So apparently this was his idea when it became day 300 or so.
	I think they asked him to leave the show.
	It's kind of like a three by three.
	It was horrible.
	So yes, you had a choice back in the day.
	You could watch The Tonight Show, you could watch Letterman, or you could watch Nightline.
	Wasn't that it?
	It was...
	No, Letterman was...
	No, Letterman was later.
	But it was like the alternative to the talk shows.
	You had Nightline.
	And the talk shows was...
	There was one talk show.
	It was Carson.
	Right.
	And the other shows were just trying to struggle, and so Nightline came into being.
	Okay, so Koppel would be right.
	He must be looking for a gig, and he got in with CIA or somebody, and he wrote a book called Lights Out, And we'll start off with a backgrounder.
	You have written a book about the next big threat.
	We always talk about cyber threats, about hacking, but you're talking about the electrical grid.
	We are accustomed to cyber attacks that result in grand larceny.
	We are accustomed to cyber attacks that amount to huge vacuuming of intelligence.
	No, no, that's not cyber attacks.
	That's our government who's doing the vacuuming.
	Information.
	What we've never had is a cyber attack that amounts to a weapon of mass destruction.
	Weapon of massive.
	We're all going to be blowed to bits, John.
	My point is that if someone succeeds in taking down one of our power grids, and the Russians can do it, and the Chinese can do it, and maybe the Iranians and the North Koreans.
	North Koreans.
	Everybody can do this.
	Everybody.
	Everybody can.
	You know, the grid, of course, is just one system.
	You just flip a switch and everything's off.
	It would be devastating.
	The funny thing is, Gwen, that for...
	It wasn't funny, Dan.
	About three years now, a number of our top leaders, including the president, the president has twice mentioned it in successive State of the Union addresses.
	Which is always scary to me, because the president, this president, is very good at putting little Easter eggs in so he can later say, I told you!
	I told you not once, but I told you in two State of the Unions we have this problem with the grid.
	Warning, just a little paragraph, but warning that there are those who are trying to get into our infrastructure, especially the power grid.
	The Secretary of Defense at the time, Leon Panetta, called the threat of a cyber attack on the power grid potentially a cyber Pearl Harbor.
	Woo!
	That's pretty huge.
	And nobody was paying any attention to it.
	Hold on a second.
	We were paying attention to it.
	We made a big deal about it.
	I wondered, A, are these people just exaggerating for reasons I don't quite understand?
	And B, if they're not, what is the government doing to prepare for it and to prepare the public for it?
	And my instinct told me that the answer was going to be not much.
	Not much is an exaggeration.
	Nothing.
	This is a nothing problem.
	Nothing.
	Well, hold on.
	Because he went to several department heads of the Department of Homeland Security.
	Yeah, I heard this.
	He talked to Lucy.
	Oh, he talked to Lucy.
	Janet Napolitano.
	And he also talked to J. Johnson.
	And it's not good what he found out, John.
	Not good.
	In fact, Johnson is a little pissed off at Ted Koppel.
	You have talked to so many people, including the last foreheads of the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense.
	Gwen is loving this, by the way.
	I think she is like royalty to her somehow.
	Do you think?
	That she's feeling it?
	Good point.
	I never thought of that.
	You're absolutely correct.
	He is royalty, news royalty.
	And the way she sings, you've talked to so many people.
	So many people.
	You're so awesome.
	You have talked to so many people, including the last four heads of the Department of Homeland Security.
	Four heads?
	He's talking of foreheads, yeah.
	And did you get a sense after talking to them that any one of them knows what to do if this were to happen?
	Probably not.
	Several of them know that the likelihood of it happening is great.
	When I spoke to Janet Napolitano just after she left, What do you think those are, John?
	What is the chance of an attack?
	Well, obviously, if I would just quit that job and I wanted to throw a bomb under the bus, I'd say it's going to happen any minute!
	She said very, very high.
	Eighty to ninety percent.
	Oh no!
	It seems to me...
	We're gonna die!
	...inevitable that we have to deal with this, but maybe because we don't know what the answer is, we have not even begun to do so.
	When you talk to Jay Johnson, who currently runs Homeland Security, he was trying to be more optimistic currently being in the job, but it didn't sound like that conversation went well.
	It did not go well.
	It did not go well, Gwen.
	Because on the one hand...
	Because I'm a hard-hitting newsman.
	I really get down to the bottom of things.
	He conceded that the likelihood of a cyber attack on the power grid is great.
	On the other hand, when I said, okay, what's the plan?
	You're the Secretary of Homeland Security.
	He sort of dismissed it and said, well, as long as you have a radio with extra batteries.
	And I said, yeah, but...
	Everybody, you need a radio with extra batteries when the grid comes down.
	You have a radio and the power goes out and you turn your radio on.
	What are you going to tell people?
	I'm going to give them a signal report.
	You're five by nine here.
	What else am I going to do?
	He's talking about people passively listening.
	I don't know how you're going to tell them nothing.
	It's a one-way radio.
	Exactly.
	And doesn't it seem a little strange that we're going to defer telling people what the plan is until after the electricity goes out and communication is far more difficult than it needs to be?
	That's right.
	Well, yeah, that's the American way.
	America.
	No.
	All gonna die.
	Play the old gonna die clip.
	Come on.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I have all kinds of things queued up for this jabroni.
	Okay, keep going.
	Anyway, so he...
	First of all, let's start with your initial premise.
	We're all gonna die!
	Yes.
	Which is the same way I felt it.
	First thing that happens to me when I heard this was, Koppel?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Who wrote this book for him?
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	And why did they get him to be the spokeshole?
	Because obviously, now this seems to me to be one of those, you know, money grab deals.
	We've got to get some more money, so let's scare the politicians.
	Well, it's all for the cyber stuff right now.
	And so it's the cyber money.
	So now this is one of the intelligence agencies.
	There's one of these groups that writes books for people.
	We talk about this all the time.
	There's a lot of books.
	I mean, if the CIA called me up and said, you know, we want you to do some work.
	Keep an eye on Adam.
	I said, well, is there a book in it?
	Yeah, right.
	Okay, well, Ryan, what book do you want us to write?
	I'd have him write a book.
	I'd have my name on there.
	And then we would keep an eye on Adam.
	Oh, man, that would be that.
	You should look at the reviews on Amazon for this thing.
	This is hilarious.
	Well, they start off with all agency people talking about how great, five stars, five stars.
	And he has editorial reviews from Tom Brokaw, Anderson Pooper.
	It's a scam.
	So here's the thing that got me, though.
	When he went on this tangent, I lost it.
	Oh, I know which one you're talking about.
	Because we know who can actually save us when the lights go out.
	So it's easy to see there's not a plan, but what would you say the plan ought to be?
	Mass evacuations from someplace like Manhattan?
	Can't do it.
	Gwen, seriously, get a grip.
	We're going to mass evacuate Manhattan.
	Okay, Gwen.
	So they can go to some other dark place?
	Yeah, the Lincoln Tunnel will be groovy.
	Can't do it.
	Too many people, no place to put them.
	The only thing, and I don't want to be in a position of even sounding as though I have the answers, but I spent three chapters of the book Dealing with the Mormons.
	There you go.
	And the reason I focused on the Mormons is that the Mormons, after 200 years of being driven from pillar to post...
	What is the etymology of pillar to post?
	I don't know.
	It's up there with the lid.
	Have learned how to survive in difficult situations.
	Yeah.
	And they are probably about as well prepared as any large group in the country.
	So he's advocating preppers now.
	Yeah.
	And he'll go deeper into this.
	No, then when he gets his next comment, he's like, real eye-rollers.
	Here it comes.
	And so the one thing that the Mormons do that I would recommend to Americans in general to do is to have a three to six month supply of food.
	Seeds!
	We need seeds, Josh.
	Seeds.
	What the hell is wrong with you?
	Wake up!
	Get up off your ashes!
	Get out of the damn coma!
	We need a crisis garden.
	And water.
	So this is not a corporate responsibility, necessarily, or a government responsibility.
	We're not talking about state actors all the time.
	It may be.
	I mean, it may be their responsibility, but since what I'm finding is that they haven't taken that responsibility very seriously, or at least have not come up with a solution yet, I'm saying to those people who can afford it, and I fully appreciate it, That there are tens of millions of people in this country who can barely afford to put food on the table.
	You're going to die.
	You don't have three to six months of food and water?
	You're dead.
	You're dead, suckers.
	Let alone get a supply of three to six months.
	But if those who can afford it do it, and if the government has a backlog of freeze-dried food...
	Oh, that'll be tasty.
	...which lasts up to 25 years...
	Storable food!
	We can probably survive something like this.
	If we don't do that, there will be thousands of fatalities.
	We're all going to die!
	I am sick and tired of these alarmists.
	It's so annoying.
	This is just another example.
	I mean, you can play some more clips.
	The last one, it's a shorty, and then your rant is valid.
	I want you to go.
	Listen to the last bit.
	You say, quite provocatively, toward the end of the book, that the internet is our weapon of mass destruction.
	Thanks, Ted.
	In addition to all the wonderful things.
	Like porn.
	Porn.
	It can be used as a weapon of mass destruction.
	And the dangerous thing, Gwen, is it doesn't require a government to do it.
	It doesn't require anyone with a ton of money.
	15-year-old kid, that's the point.
	Someone sufficiently skilled in cyber warfare using an individual laptop can inflict enormous damage.
	Damage.
	I've been told by the man who was the former chief scientist for the NSA, the National Security Agency, that he now believes that there are individual groups, and possibly a group like ISIS, for example, which has about $2 billion.
	They got $2 billion.
	They could buy the expertise and that the equipment they need is available off the shelf.
	That's a pretty scary prospect.
	I challenge them to buy the expertise.
	That is so scary.
	This alarmist thing has gotten on my nerves to an extreme.
	In fact, this is the whole global warming thing.
	So I'm doing some research on something, and I was referencing the Club of Rome because there was this period when Paul Ehrlich wrote the Population Bomb.
	The Population Bomb, yeah.
	And then he came up with the race bomb and all these things using bomb as a metaphor.
	And it was, you know, this is just a scare.
	The population thing that was happening in the 70s, which means we're all going to die by the year 2000 because there's going to be too many people.
	We can't feed them.
	And so this was nothing more than trying to scare the public.
	This is all just kind of a negative process of frightening the public in any way you can and fear-mongering.
	And so...
	Just curiously, whatever happened to the Club of Rome?
	I think that...
	Aren't they still around?
	I'm sure they're still around.
	It turns out, yes!
	And did the same guy, Ehrlich, not write some global warming thing?
	Yeah, he's done a global warming thing.
	Guess what the Club of Rome is all preoccupied with?
	Well, global warming.
	Yeah, climate change, of course.
	Climate change.
	And so this is all fear-mongering.
	It's all designed to put the public in a state of panic.
	In fact, the book that Crichton wrote was State of Fear.
	State of Fear.
	That's what he's talking about.
	And now when this comes up, I'm getting a little tired of this sort of fear-mongering that is going on and the media is all in on it.
	Yeah, okay, it's nice when it bleeds, it leads.
	But somebody getting shot is not the same as fear-mongering.
	And this is your public television, John.
	This is supposed to be highbrow.
	They should be ashamed of themselves.
	Because it's partially government...
	The world's not coming to an end tomorrow.
	You don't have to buy heritage seeds, heirloom seeds, because you're not going to be able to buy a tomato in a week.
	This is all bullcrap.
	And it's annoying that we have to subject ourselves to it.
	End.
	John C.
	DeVore acts pet peeve of the day.
	Exactly.
	It's inexcusable.
	And when we talk about the meat issue...
	Well, this leads right...
	The same thing.
	We need to do this now because I'm of the belief that this whole meat scam is about global warming and I think I can prove it.
	But why don't you take us through it?
	Well, that's funny because I'm on the same track at proving it's about global warming.
	All right.
	Let's do the background.
	We'll see how we got there.
	I got there a different way than you did.
	Okay.
	Well, let's start with the says it all clip.
	This is the ABC. All the networks were in on this.
	Democracy Now!
	is in on this.
	NewsHour!
	was in on this.
	All on the same day, at the same time, meat is going to kill you.
	The eye-opening new cancer warning.
	Hot dogs, processed meat, and bacon now put in the same category as cigarettes and asbestos.
	Yeah, that summarizes it.
	So we have, let's see who else, NBC has the, here's a kicker, this is the NBC Meat, or actually, play NBC on Meat Primary Tease.
	This is the beginning of their thing.
	Good evening.
	The news hit around breakfast time as a lot of Americans are sitting down in front of a plate of bacon or sausage.
	The alarming warning from the World Health Organization's cancer research arm that goes like this.
	Processed meats cause cancer and red meat probably does too.
	Probably.
	Probably.
	We don't know that it does.
	We have no clue.
	Probably.
	And then they have the, here's the kicker.
	This is the NBC meat kicker.
	The same group said red meat, beef, lamb, and pork are probably carcinogens.
	Probably.
	Probably.
	I remember when blue jeans were probably carcinogens.
	Probably.
	Probably.
	And by the way, they all ran this as the number one A-block story, right at the top, with the T's.
	Opening T's and straight into the A-block at the top.
	I know, it was like a storm.
	Yeah.
	You have to give me more?
	I have to say, CBS did a pretty good job of backing people off.
	They weren't all in on this because CBS, which is the smartest of the networks, they're the ones who make all the money.
	And CBS, somebody wisely said to the staff, You know, is there any way this is going to cost us advertising?
	Oh.
	Is there any way?
	Because, you know, we do have people that might want to advertise, the milk people.
	I mean, they say, well, I don't know what these people are all about, but this seems like we should push back on this because this might cost us advertising money.
	So they ran, this is the CBS, so they soft-pedaled it as best they could.
	Here's CBS on meat.
	And wash your hands after touching any raw meat.
	Today, an international panel of experts said that eating processed meats, such as cold cuts and bacon, increases the risk of colon cancer.
	And eating red meat likely does the same.
	After today's report by the World Health Organization, everyone seemed to be asking, how great is that risk?
	So we asked Dr.
	John LaPook.
	The WHO committee has placed processed meat like hot dogs and ham in the same cancer risk category as tobacco, but the amount of increased risk is nowhere near the same.
	Lifetime risk of getting colon cancer is 5%.
	Eating the equivalent of one hot dog a day raises that to about 6%.
	By comparison, one study found the lifetime risk of lung cancer is 1.3% in male non-smokers and about 17% in smokers.
	The evidence was strongest for a cancer link with processed meat.
	The international panel of experts said the cancer link for red meat, like steak and pork, is weaker.
	Now, they went on in that direction.
	And they were the only ones who did.
	Well, they wanted to be good with the pork lobby.
	Well, whatever they wanted to be good with, it was a more balanced report.
	Now, when I was doing research on this, and you can tell me your stuff after I finish, which is...
	I found the exact same program was set in place in 2010.
	Exactly the same.
	In 2010, they did the same rollout, the same bullcrap.
	Was it the same study?
	It must have been a different study.
	No, it was actually a bigger study somehow.
	Okay.
	So I decided I'm just going to play a game with myself.
	I'm going to take the first expert that they bring on that's not one of the staffers on one of the networks.
	And then I'm going to look into her because I suspect, like you do, that veganism is somehow in this deal.
	And so play the Mariana Stern, I think, on Meats.
	First name I ran into.
	The committee described a number of possible mechanisms.
	Dr.
	Marianna Stern of USC served on the panel.
	Processed meat are treated with different chemicals in order to preserve the meat.
	Okay, so I said, okay, let me just get, I made that little clip so I can just look her up.
	She is a vegan, and two years ago she's promoting this nonsense that a vegan diet will reduce CO2 emissions by an outrageous amount of money, and she has a chart, you can find it on Twitter, you can look her up.
	And it's a chart showing, you know, meat eaters, you know, are causing global warming, which is exactly what you've come up with.
	And this is just another ploy by the vegetarian vegans to promote their...
	I think it's the other way around.
	I think that global warming is used as leverage to promote the vegan diet.
	Well...
	So here's what I found.
	Here's what I found.
	So I found, and admittedly, I went looking for it about, you know, I did a couple searches, you know, meat, cancer, climate change.
	And then, you know, whenever you see the same article posted over and over again, and I put the couple of relevant searches into the show notes, And it's the same text, but it's on the following websites.
	EcoWatch, Science Daily, Tech Time, ScienceBlogs.com, MedicalDaily.com.
	These are all bullshit websites.
	And what you did is you did a trick that we do on the show, and people can do this.
	You take a leading sentence.
	Here it is.
	Eating less red and processed meats has two benefits.
	A reduced risk for certain forms of cancer and a reduced effect on climate change.
	And that shows up everywhere.
	Everywhere.
	Now, to the bogativity of the study, I asked one of our professors to look at the study itself, and here's what he said.
	The research that this pronouncement relies upon does not establish that red meat of any kind causes cancer.
	It is all based on observational epidemiology, which we know is fundamentally unable to establish causality.
	What it shows is that there is a certain correlation between eating processed red meat and getting cancer.
	That could be because eating processed meat causes cancer or it could be because there are things that cause one to both eat lots of processed meat and get cancer.
	Or people who eat a lot of red meat and get cancer may just be completely coincidental.
	Epidemiology tries to remove those confounding factors, but its methods are fundamentally flawed.
	So in other words...
	It's epidemiology, I think is the word.
	Yeah, that's what it is.
	So it's almost like CO2 leading or following temperatures.
	It's the same thing.
	Just because it has commonality doesn't mean that one is the cause of the other necessarily.
	Right, which is a false scenario.
	Yeah, that's always a false.
	So the study, the conclusions of the study are bullshit.
	Yeah.
	It's a political study done for the purposes of climate change.
	Well, no.
	See, I disagree with that.
	I think it's to promote the vegan diet.
	But you cannot get around the fact that Paris is coming up and maybe we'll have some agreements about meat production or intake or whatever.
	Who knows what these crazy people are doing?
	I think, again, I'm taking my decision.
	Because Paris is coming up, same thing.
	This is their opportunity to get people on board with a vegetarian-vegan diet.
	This is the time to do it.
	Yes, and eat bugs.
	Well, there's that.
	I would hope to see more bug-eating stories coincidentally during this period of the anti-meat movement.
	But this is a shameful public relations stunt.
	Whether it's for climate change or whether it's for vegan diet, which I think is really the goal, personally.
	Here's how I see it.
	This is the problem-reaction-solution.
	The problem was presented.
	The reaction was everybody.
	I think in general people are like, I've heard this.
	But they're thinking about it.
	I agree.
	We've heard this too much, especially the demonization of bacon.
	Or anything.
	Blue jeans, eggs, whatever is all going to kill you.
	So people are kind of rolling their eyes.
	But there is a reaction.
	The reaction is really the media.
	Everyone ran.
	They just shortened it up to red meat will kill you.
	It didn't even get into the study.
	It bothers me to no end, of course I'm just saying this over and over again, that the media is so susceptible to going along with this meme-based bullcrap.
	No one has the guts, even any of them, to stand up and say, this is nonsense.
	And bring some guy on, like you just talked to one of your buddies, or that link that I had, there's a good link in the...
	Yes, it's called...
	To this woman who is a long-time anti-meat vegetarian activist researcher on WHO meat cancer panel.
	Is that it?
	No.
	No, it's a challenge.
	Not a single epidemiological study credibly links meat eating with cancer.
	Is that the one?
	I don't know.
	I sent you a...
	Yeah, it's in the show notes.
	They're all in there.
	It's in the show notes.
	Whatever the case, and I said that...
	This is shame.
	Again, I'm using this word too much.
	Shameful.
	It is.
	Because I don't know of a better word.
	Somebody's got to give me some...
	Well...
	That this media is just, again, this is scaring the public needlessly.
	Alarmism reporting.
	This is not bleed that leads.
	This is just fear-mongering the miserable media.
	And that's why the public was so up in arms during that CNBC sham of a debate.
	Yes, for this very reason.
	But anyone just slammed the media.
	Yeah, they're screwing us.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	Everybody knows this is going on, but they can't do anything about it, and the media itself refuses to do anything about it.
	So what is happening in Paris, and I've been following this as closely as possible, and we already have African nations in particular, but smaller countries are complaining, saying, hey, wait a minute, the ground rules have changed all of a sudden for this Paris IPCC meeting, and...
	What everybody wants, and they're all talking about a huge economic change.
	So when they're talking about Paris, they say this will be an economic change of epic proportions.
	Whoa, what are you talking about?
	What they're talking about is who of the rich nations will give what to which one of the poor nations.
	And that's why you see some African countries going.
	This is like apartheid when, you know, this is supposed to be what comes out of this.
	And this is where we're supposed to be going, that the rich nations send money to the poor nations because of it's our fault that we created climate change.
	That's what this is about.
	And people like our EPA administrator.
	What's her name from Gina McCarthy?
	she's giddy She's giddy about Paris.
	She can't wait to go.
	I have to say I'm pretty excited.
	I'm excited because of the work that the president and the leadership here in the U.S. have had in the bilateral discussions we've had with China and Brazil and India.
	If you look at all of the commitments that are coming in in the international context, We have more than...
	That's money, I think.
	Commitments is money.
	Hundreds of millions...
	Yeah, it's money.
	...than has ever been made before.
	India was a laggard.
	It was amazing.
	It's been amazing.
	There is definitely a momentum shift.
	And I think all of that is good news in terms of our ability to make progress in India.
	In Paris, I mean, I think we all know that this is such a long-term venture.
	It remains a long-term venture, even though we've been talking about it for a while.
	We're not talking about silver bullets, but we can make some significant progress in Paris.
	The time is right for that.
	Oh, yeah.
	I think part of the downside of this is, I think, much of the progress that we're going to be making is because we're already feeling the impacts of a changing climate now.
	We are not modeling what might happen.
	No, hold on a second.
	We're not modeling what might happen.
	You can feel it now.
	This is climate change.
	This is unbelievable what this woman is saying.
	If I understand her correctly, she says, this is not about, we're not modeling.
	We're not even doing that anymore.
	We know.
	A fact, science is in.
	You're feeling the effects.
	The only thing that was missing was they're saying we just had the largest hurricane in history.
	The progress that we're going to be making is because we're already feeling the impacts of a changing climate now.
	We are not modeling what might happen.
	But I think that's providing a momentum for action to happen.
	But I think what the U.S. has provided is a pathway forward.
	A clear acknowledgement that there are solutions on the table today that have never been available to us before that allow us to continue to grow the economy, to look at where jobs are being grown, and to explain to both other developed countries and developing countries that we are looking at opportunities for the future that really are open to all of us and that we need to learn from one another and move forward.
	So I'm pretty excited.
	She's giddy.
	Yeah, opportunities in your poor country.
	We're going to come in, we're going to rape you with your resources under the guise of climate change.
	We'll create all these bullshit jobs for something that's not going to happen.
	It's like Y2K. At least Y2K did prop-ups of the consulting business for a while.
	What do you think all these climate change deals are?
	They're all consultants.
	Yeah, that's true.
	Meanwhile, there's a little scandal that I just want to highlight because you won't hear it probably anywhere else.
	The federal government's chief climate research agency is refusing to give House Republicans the detailed information they want on a controversial study on climate change.
	The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said it will not give Rep.
	Lamar Smith what he recently subpoenaed about the research, citing the confidentiality of the requested documents and the integrity of the scientific process.
	At the center of the controversy is a study that concluded there has not been a 15-year pause in global warming.
	Skeptics of climate change, including Smith, have cited the pause to prove that increased greenhouse gas emissions, mostly from burning fossil fuels, are not heating up the globe.
	That's nice.
	What's wrong with giving the data?
	Is it supposed to be open and transparent?
	Well, it's not going to happen, of course.
	Why?
	Because they had a study that showed the temperatures had gone down, and then they had all of a sudden a new study that said, oh, no, no, no, temperatures have gone up, but they won't hand over the data of the new study.
	Why?
	Because they're lying!
	Oh!
	Right?
	Right?
	They're lying.
	Hey, we got the new spreadsheet in, by the way.
	Yes, I know.
	Okay.
	I'll send you a note, but you don't pay attention to my notes anymore.
	Where did you say?
	Back channel notes.
	Oh, sorry.
	Back channel note.
	I didn't hear your back channel note come in.
	Did the note say we're going to do a break?
	I think maybe it's a good time.
	Do you want to do it?
	Which break do you want to do?
	Well, we can do the first one, I think.
	No, we'll do that one in post.
	Okay, we'll do the second break.
	Hold on a second.
	Hold on.
	Make some notes.
	I am making notes.
	Hair raising.
	Yeah, hold on.
	It's going to give me a moment to look up.
	Kowaluski.
	Yeah, you do that.
	Kowaluski.
	Hold on.
	We can always cut this piece out, too.
	Of course, I can't spill it.
	Let me see.
	Here we go.
	Let me open it up.
	And magically, we have something.
	Hold on.
	What is that?
	Done.
	This looks much better.
	Yes.
	Hold on.
	Yeah, I'd rather do our regular break.
	Okay.
	Whatever.
	You have to sit there and do the...
	Crap.
	Yeah.
	You think we should do the regular break now?
	No, no, I'm good.
	Okay.
	I'm amenable.
	All right, good.
	You're so easy today.
	All right, good.
	Anyway, yeah, so that's all I have on climate change.
	But this is very interesting what's happening, what's going to be happening in Paris, and it's all about money.
	It's all about money.
	It's been about money since the beginning.
	First it was about the cap and trade scam and I'll say it before I'll say it again.
	Every once in a while a radical left winger comes out and says it and then they shut him up.
	But I'll say it.
	The whole cap and trade.
	If you're serious about this, just cap.
	No trade.
	What does the trade do?
	It just doesn't do anything.
	I got a bunch of extra emissions, so I buy some forest land, and now I'm good to go.
	Extra emissions are still going into the atmosphere.
	That's cap and trade.
	How's that helping?
	Because we need the trade to be able to send the money to the poor countries in Africa and get carbon credits.
	We need the trade to have a trading vehicle that has a commission structure so Al Gore can make money because he owns the Chicago trading operation.
	It's just...
	I hate to...
	Don't, don't, don't.
	It's good.
	I'm not going to say that.
	I'm going to...
	Entremont.
	The Democratic Party, without a doubt, is all in and backs and supports LGBTQIAAP initiatives.
	And I say that because that is now, of course, the official acronym.
	Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Bi-Curious, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Allied, and Pansexual.
	However...
	What's pansexual?
	Pansexual means you just love anybody regardless of their gender.
	It could be anybody or anything.
	Yes, it could be a house.
	Could it be a dog?
	It could be a dog.
	It could be a dog, yes.
	That's pansexual.
	So, is Harry Reid the leader of the Democratic Party?
	Is he important?
	Is he pansexual?
	No.
	Why don't you bring this up?
	Because I want to play a clip.
	Are you trying to tell us something?
	I want to play a clip from Harry Reid.
	Yes, he's the head of the Democrats.
	I'm not going to get involved in their politics, but I am going to say this.
	I think it's time for this country to look forward, not backwards.
	And I'm satisfied that we've made a lot of progress with issues related to LBJ. Let's see.
	LBJ? Lyndon Johnson?
	LBJ. But then he realizes he said something stupid, and then everyone's trying to help, including Chuck Schumer.
	He says, LBJ. What is that, lesbian, bi, and Jenner?
	What is that, you moron?
	Yeah.
	Lesbian K. Anyway, what are the letters?
	What is it?
	LGBT. That's just what I was going to say.
	That's just what I was going to say, you dick.
	We've made progress with LBJ also.
	That play was terrific.
	But anyway, the point...
	Try and play it off.
	What an idiot!
	LBJ. That's great.
	What a doofus.
	He always has been a doofus.
	LBJ. LBJ. It would be funny if you said LBJ QQTA. Yeah, that would be even funnier.
	And here's a little something that happened.
	It's really, this was a local news story in Washington, D.C., Which I like.
	I like that we have.
	It's the annual high heel race where you get all the trans gestures and they do a race in high heels, which is very funny.
	But I don't think anyone got the joke at the end of the report.
	Because it did air.
	Drag queens donned their heels in Washington, D.C. for the annual high-heeled drag queen race in DuPont Circle.
	For the past 29 years, on the Tuesday before Halloween, drag queens have paraded along 17th Street before sprinting one block as supporters cheer them on.
	In a city where putting down shirts are the norm, one participant said the race lets D.C. unwind.
	This is a very political town.
	This sort of thing does not make sense in D.C. How it's been around for so long just baffles me.
	So we're out here to support anything that helps D.C. live more joyfully, less uptight, a little less concerned about image, and just to have fun.
	Local media say this year's winner, a queen named Tasha Salad, ran a record-breaking race of just 41 seconds.
	Does anyone get the Tasha Salad reference?
	I love that name.
	Tasha Salad?
	Tasha Salad.
	You know where that's from, right?
	Toss your salad?
	Yeah.
	You know what that is?
	It's a sexual act.
	Well, it's a reference, yeah, to an act.
	It's not a sexual act itself.
	It's a reference.
	Because that would be tossing a salad, which is what people do when they make their salad, usually mostly Californians, as part of their meal.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Way to paper over it.
	And then just something I thought was very refreshing to hear in today's political correct world.
	Jermaine Greer.
	Now, I don't think anyone knows who she is anymore.
	Well, they will after her grousing.
	Well, she grouses in a way that, you know, is worth listening to.
	I guess people pissed off at her.
	She said that, well, look, a man who was a post-op transgender is not a woman.
	That's what she said.
	This began when they decided, I think it was Glamour magazine was going to name Caitlyn Jenner.
	I think they did.
	Woman of the Year.
	I think they did name her a woman.
	Didn't that happen?
	Yeah, they named her Woman of the Year.
	Yeah.
	This set some of these older feminists off.
	I was going to talk about women and power, the lessons of the 20th century, because I think there's a lot of triumphalist talk that masks the real historic situation.
	And apparently people have decided that because I don't think that post-operative transgender men, i.e.
	M2F transgender people, are women, I'm not to be allowed to talk.
	But surely if a man who feels that he actually would like gender reassignment to make him feel more comfortable in her body Then that's what should be done.
	They should be allowed to do that.
	I'm not saying that people should not be allowed to go through that procedure.
	What I'm saying is it doesn't make them a woman.
	It happens to be an opinion.
	See, I like that.
	Finally someone's just saying, hey, that's an opinion.
	Don't get all bent out of shape.
	Don't try to, you know, kill me over this.
	Don't hate me.
	It's just an opinion.
	Thank you.
	Finally someone talking some sense.
	It's not a prohibition.
	Carry on, if that's what you think it is you want to do.
	I've been accused of inciting violence against transsexual people.
	There you go.
	That's absolute nonsense.
	But do you feel that the transgender community has too big a voice now?
	It seems to me you're saying that they're becoming what feminists were often called strident.
	Yes, but they very seldom were strident to less.
	I think that a great many women don't think that post-operative or even non-post-operative transsexual M to F transsexual people look like, sound like, or behave like women.
	But they daren't say so.
	But just because they daren't say so doesn't mean that that person can't feel like that and feels more comfortable with themselves.
	Yeah, but so what?
	That's not my issue.
	I don't even talk about it.
	Thank you.
	Then do you understand how they might feel that you have been hurtful towards them?
	People are hurtful to me all the time.
	Yeah, listen.
	Now listen to what she says though.
	She says something very important here at the end.
	Because they didn't say so doesn't mean that that person can't feel like that and feels more comfortable with themselves.
	Yeah, but so what?
	That's not my issue.
	I don't even talk about it.
	Then do you understand how they might feel that you have been hurtful towards them?
	People are hurtful to me all the time.
	Try being an old woman.
	For goodness sake!
	People get hurt all the time.
	I'm not about to walk on eggshells.
	Exactly.
	This is what we always say.
	Hey, there's a woman that set this model up.
	She set the model up.
	She's one of the early ones that set up PC. Political correctness comes from a lot of these old feminists.
	Interesting.
	And now here we go.
	The chickens have come home to roost.
	And she gets kicked out of public speech.
	So here's a lesson.
	This is the lesson.
	When you're all PC and politically correct, your day will come.
	And it came.
	She lost a really good gig.
	What was the gig?
	It was some major speech.
	She was going to give her a commencement or something at one of the big colleges.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, that would have been money.
	They disinvited her.
	Or maybe just a big lecture.
	They disinvited her because she's mean.
	Just mean to the transsexuals.
	So let this be a lesson.
	It's a lesson, alright.
	We've got a couple short things here.
	I've got a...
	Oh, you're talking about things being canceled?
	Here's another one of them, and this one refers right to that person you were talking about the other day.
	This is the South by Southwest news program canceled.
	And the conference South by Southwest Interactive has canceled two panels about sexual harassment in the gaming industry following threats of violence.
	It's the latest chapter in the rampant online harassment of women who critique sexism in video games.
	South by Southwest said it canceled the panels after, quote, numerous threats of on-site violence related to this programming.
	And I think that woman again, those threats of violence, she probably made the threats herself.
	And I think BuzzFeed and The Verge are all pulling out of South by Southwest now.
	Because of this?
	Yeah.
	This is unbelievable.
	I think it's very smart.
	Well, yeah, if you want to save money, it's very smart.
	Well, no, if I didn't know better, I'd say that this is a promotional stunt.
	This is to get people to buy tickets.
	To South by Southwest?
	Of course they're going to reinstate this.
	I bet you they don't.
	Oh, I bet you they do.
	Okay, a dollar.
	50 cents.
	Oh, you're going big.
	Well, hey, man.
	I think you're already down a dollar, but 50 cents was fine.
	We don't encourage gambling.
	Right.
	Okay, let's see.
	Things are bad in the Euro land.
	The migrant crisis continues.
	They had a meeting on Sunday, a couple more meetings, and of course Slovenia is now one of the countries that really, you know, all they can do is shuttle people right through and hand them off at the other border, which I believe is Hungary.
	No, no, Slovenia is up against Hungary.
	I think it said they take us up to Austria or something.
	Let's go look at a map.
	Yeah, good idea.
	Hold on.
	I don't want to sound stupid.
	Slovenia.
	It might be in this report, actually.
	Hungary's blocked off anyway.
	They don't drop him off there.
	What is it?
	Is it sending him off to Austria?
	I think you may be right.
	I believe that would be north.
	Yeah, north to Austria.
	Okay, well here's the report, but in particular I want you to listen to the, what is it, is it the, maybe the president of Slovenia.
	As migrants continue to pour across the border from Serbia into Croatia and many more waiting in the freezing cold to be registered in Slovenia, the European Union is searching for answers.
	As European leaders bicker over who is to blame for the crisis, Slovenia's premier warned on Sunday at an emergency mini-summit in Brussels that the EU itself faces collapse if the bloc can't agree on a plan to confront the influx of refugees.
	This guy is terrible.
	The Europe is at stake now, and if we don't do all we can together to find a common solution to deliver it, I mean, then this is the beginning.
	Maybe I can do this guy's voice.
	If we don't find something for the migrants, the crisis, this is the beginning of the end for the EU project.
	Yeah, I wanted to find that clip.
	It's a good clip.
	Yeah, that's one of the leaders calling, saying, hey, we're going to melt down.
	Yeah, they are.
	You know, when Victoria Nuland said F the EU, she meant it.
	I don't understand why they don't take that more seriously.
	The EU should have been up in arms about the comment.
	It went everywhere.
	They all heard it.
	And they should be up in arms now.
	And they should be up in arms about Syria.
	They should be up in arms about everything we're doing.
	It's astonishing what wimps they are.
	I think the reason why they weren't up...
	It was obfuscated.
	It was completely covered up, pushed away, what Victoria Nuland said with Ukraine.
	And it's because they...
	You know, they wanted to have the transition in place because that's their pipeline.
	All their gas is coming through Ukraine.
	And they were all for it.
	Like, oh, yeah, we'll have a single...
	Remember that?
	We'll have a single buying market.
	Everything will be fantastic.
	It'll be great.
	And Putin won't be such a bully.
	And, you know...
	This guy is in there.
	But yeah, they all knew that they were going through a huge transition.
	We put our chosen people in.
	In fact, Newland called the shot.
	She said who they want to put in, and he got in.
	She yats.
	She said, we'll put yats in, and we'll send this guy out.
	And then when they said, hey, what about the EU? This is not their plan.
	Then she said, fuck the EU. I'm driving off laughing.
	this is what I'll say.
	A couple of things come to mind.
	One, why wasn't she fired for doing that, getting caught saying that, of course, Because this is the Russians that made this intercept.
	We didn't know it was.
	They got their people everywhere like we do.
	And so they pulled it out and said, look at us, play this and see what happens.
	The Russians must have been beside themselves when nothing happened.
	Yeah.
	It was like, here's a woman who calls the shot, says what's going on, tells everyone what they're going to do, who they're going to put in power in this whole scammish Ukraine thing.
	The Russians say to themselves, oh, let's run this clip and that'll put a stop to it.
	No, it didn't change anything.
	It was like nothing happened.
	And you remember there was a phone call with the no-neck monster, the baron high priestess of foreign affairs, Ashton.
	The chinless wonder.
	Yeah, maybe I have this.
	It's a shitty recording.
	I'll put it in the show notes.
	Where they talk about snipers on the roof.
	She says, oh goodness, oh really, I didn't know that.
	You know, snipers that killed the police.
	Yeah.
	Shot them straight through their body armor.
	Oh, man.
	People of the Eurolands, people of EU, you're being screwed.
	And I'm not saying that we're not doing it.
	But we certainly, this is World War III, and it's not anything you thought it would be like.
	It's economic and it's disastrous.
	The German people are now turning.
	They're turning on Merkel.
	Whereas, first it was 60% were all for, now 60% are against.
	It's way too many.
	Way too many.
	It's a horde.
	It's like an invasion.
	You have no idea what it looks like.
	Every time I watch the news, especially when I watch alternative news out of China or Europe, where you get to see these pictures, it's a stream to the horizon.
	Yeah.
	It's tens of thousands.
	It's a ten person wide stream from the horizon.
	You could look out and they just go as far as the eye can see and they're moving at about two or three miles an hour like a bunch of army in Africa.
	And then people are pushing other people in wheelchairs through mud and snow.
	It's unbelievable.
	We downplay it here as much as we can.
	Yeah, I don't.
	I'm shocked.
	No, we don't.
	On this show, I'm saying we downplay in the United States that the news guys are all about the meat carcinogens.
	And this week, by the way, is the worst for all running the same news stories.
	It was the carcinogens.
	It was the tires.
	There's a tire story that everybody had to run out.
	And the winter came early in Europe.
	Ugh.
	I have Nigel Farage doing about three minutes on this in the EU Starfleet Command.
	Okay, yeah, he is good.
	And for those of you playing along at home, you might want to take a look at the Brezhnev Doctrine to enjoy Mr.
	Farage's speech to its max.
	As this migrant crisis begins to overwhelm the European Union, and yes it is an existential crisis, perhaps we should ask ourselves, what really is the true nature of this project?
	Because I've heard a lot today about rights.
	Well, what about democratic rights?
	Because I think what we're seeing is an increasingly authoritarian European Union that crushes democratic rights and then actually crows about it.
	Every single time there's a crisis, it's national democracy that loses.
	We saw back in 2011, the Italian Prime Minister, Berlusconi, sounding Eurosceptic, removed and replaced by a puppet Prime Minister.
	We saw exactly the same thing happen in Greece in 2011.
	Mr Papandreou threatened a referendum on Euro membership.
	There was a coup against him.
	He was replaced by a puppet.
	In this migrant crisis, we've seen four countries...
	Led, I guess, by the strongest Hungary, making it clear they want no part of EU migrant quotas, only to find themselves crushed through EU trickery and made to accept the very thing that they've said no to.
	And I'll never forget seeing the Greek Prime Minister, Mr Tsipras, sitting just over there, having won a general election, and then come to this House to be told the manifesto was unacceptable and it must be ditched.
	But I think all of this has reached a new low this week, Thank you very much.
	On the grounds that they represent anti-European forces and is allowing the minority conservative pro-EU Prime Minister to stay in place.
	The modern-day implementation of the Brezhnev Doctrine.
	Now, that was...
	Is that about the satellite states of Russia?
	Yeah, it was pretty much...
	Right, the Soviet Union, not the Soviet Union, which was part of...
	Russia was the key player.
	Had all these satellite states around it, and the idea was to do the same thing.
	It's kind of like what we're trying to do with Ukraine.
	But they put their guys in, so their bosses are all in, and it's kind of run by the Russians, and this is the idea.
	In Portugal, they want to run by the EU, aka whatever you want to call them, Russians of Europe.
	And so you can't have elections.
	Here's the main statement from the doctrine.
	When forces that are hostile to socialism try to turn the development of some socialist country towards capitalism...
	It becomes not only a problem of the country concerned, but a common problem and concern of all socialist countries.
	Yeah.
	I guess so.
	This is kind of the opposite.
	Want to hear more?
	We'll finish this up.
	Yeah, of course you got it.
	Farage is one of the guys that we listen to.
	Although in the UK, you walk around, it's like, he's a racist, he's a horrible guy, he's terrible.
	No, they've done a good job of demonizing him.
	This is exactly...
	What happened to states living inside the USSR? What has been made clear here, with Greece, and indeed with Portugal, is that a country only has democratic rights if it's in favour of the project.
	If not, those rights are taken away.
	And perhaps none of this should surprise us, as Mr Juncker has told us before.
	There can be no democratic choice against the European treaties.
	And the German Finance Minister, Mr Schäuble, has said, elections change nothing.
	There are rules.
	I think for anyone that believes in democracy, Portugal should be the final straw.
	It should be the warning that this project...
	To protect itself and all its failings will destroy the individual rights of people and of nations.
	My country has always believed in parliamentary democracy so strongly that twice in the last century it risked everything to fight for parliamentary democracy.
	Not just for Britain, but for the rest of Europe too.
	And I actually believe that for all of us that believe in democracy and want to see it re-implemented, the British referendum offers a golden opportunity.
	Yes.
	So, goodbye.
	I say Brexit is going to happen.
	I'm now doubting it.
	Really?
	I'm a big Brexit fan.
	I think it's a fantastic idea and it will change things.
	But the way they do this and this thing with Portugal and the propaganda in...
	The UK that you mentioned just a second ago about demonizing and making this guy look like an a-hole.
	Yeah.
	He's very erudite and interesting, especially in the EU Parliament.
	Certainly in the EU context, for sure.
	And they'll pull out all the stops.
	The media will do its thing and scare everybody.
	This is the same thing.
	Once they scare the Scots into not voting for independence...
	With fear-mongering, scaring this report.
	The Scots wanted this and wanted it, and they've been getting closer to it, but they're going to quash it for good.
	They're pretty good at this, and I think they're going to be able to keep from the Brexit.
	However, I would say just the fact that they never entered the monetary unit was always a hedge to get out.
	It's hard for me to imagine, with the Brits I know, not wanting to leave.
	It will be, at the very last minute, it will be a really good campaign that will keep them in the EU. Do you want to put another 50 cents down?
	Yeah, I'll put 50 cents down.
	I'm all for it, by the way.
	I'm a big fan of the Brexit.
	I think it should happen.
	But I think the media and the government powers have already gone beyond all recognition into a state.
	I will tell you, if the Brexit doesn't happen now, after the migrant crisis, etc., I know this is the best time.
	I know you can't do it during this moment in history where there's this hordes invading Europe from Syria and the Middle East.
	From Somalia, Sudan, from all over the place.
	Yeah, from all over.
	When we heard that interview, we had a clip of it from Afghanistan and from everywhere.
	It's like free food, you know, let's go.
	It's like a bunch of journalists.
	It is literally, literally free food and money and a better life.
	Yeah, if you can beat to death or die in the process of getting there, but you're right, if this doesn't trigger the Brexit, nothing will, because nothing will be so obvious, and then they'll lock down the public, and they're already doing that.
	Great Britain's a mess.
	Yeah.
	I wanted to play something before we go into our break here.
	It seems recently we've received donation letters and other notes.
	People saying, oh, my wife doesn't listen.
	I can't get her to listen.
	And I thought maybe if we play a little clip and show the inconsistency of something, maybe you could use that and say, hey, these guys that do interesting stuff might be interested.
	And I am of the belief that The View is a program that a lot of women in America watch, and they probably get a lot of their information from that program, mainly because they feel it's a diverse group.
	It's very diverse.
	Yeah, a diverse group of Hollywood liberals.
	Well, there's always...
	Yeah, the one token right-winger that they all jump on.
	Right.
	Now, these women speak often about, certainly about abortion, Whoopi Goldberg, you know, we've heard what she says, you know, this is a woman's choice, a woman's choice, it's her body, a woman's body is her choice.
	But, when it comes to something else, then they're This is insane.
	Oh, no.
	I don't understand why you don't do this with your body.
	A lot more virgins out there than people realize.
	I have a lot of girlfriends and know of guys that are in their 30s that still have their virginity.
	I think it's...
	For me and my...
	30s?
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	Go hook it up.
	I'd be the best I ever had.
	Are you kidding me?
	It's not a surprise to me, but that's also the types of friendships and groups of people or people within the church community that it's very familiar, so it's not shocking to me.
	I don't know that I would have posted that on Twitter, but I think she was honoring her mother and father of wanting to keep that promise to them as she goes on to her husband.
	But 30s and 40s, that's a little bit much.
	You need to have sex.
	You need to have sex.
	But But who is anyone to say?
	This is really about a relationship between them and wanting to honor God.
	Of course, it's really the God thing that bothers them the most.
	But how can they say, oh, this is crazy.
	You have to have had sex by 30.
	This is not okay.
	You're not a real woman.
	This is wrong.
	It's wrong.
	Well, I was hoping you'd come up with the contrast between you can't let the government, you know, do this and you can't let the government do that.
	I own my body and forced vaccinations.
	I'll work on that one for you.
	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.
	We do have a few people to thank for our show 769.
	Our 8th anniversary, everybody!
	It is 8 years!
	769!
	8th year!
	anniversary.
	8888 8-ball.
	So some one of our producers, when we came up with the 8-ball sent a note and says, you know what you could I'm sorry I'm so late with this, but it could have been a crate of 8s.
	Could have been, yeah.
	Yeah, well, I told him to come up with something for...
	Nine.
	Nine, nine, nine.
	Nine, nine, nine, niner.
	David Van Sunder, we want to thank him from Pacific Grove, California.
	He came with $100.88.

	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Shane Brady, $89.48 from Parts Unknown.
	And now we have the list of the well-wishers for the anniversary of $88.88.

	That's what we do.
	All right.
	Sir Arcane, and then I'm going to read the old 88, 88, so we've got a bunch of them.

	I want to thank them all.
	Thank you very much.
	For the 8888, we go down to Eric Von Marder, 8008, which he decided was a cuter number to play.
	And he becomes a knight today.
	Becomes a night, and that is also a processor chip.
	It used to be a cool chip to have.
	It predates the 8080.
	He wants crickets and cream added to the list of goods.
	Do we reject some of these?

	I'll have to go get it.
	Do I have a copy?
	You might have a copy.
	Who is it?
	It's either from Larson or Goad.
	Larson...
	They have a bunch of friends of theirs to call out as a douchebag.
	We'd like to make history today by doing what we think is the first coordinated douchebag call-out.
	We've both been listening to the show for a few years now and discuss it often.
	We hit someone in the mouth about a year and a half ago.
	It took him a few months to listen regularly, but he's been hooked for months and never misses a show.
	It's great that we have another NA show companion here in the Quad Cities, but we're both starting to feel dirty hanging around this freeloading douchebag all the time.
	Will you please call Shannon Phillips as a douchebag twice, once from each of us.
	Your loyal producers, Fleet Larson and Denny Goad.
	Nice boys.
	Very strange.

	He became a Duke.
	He'd be in the Duke of Japan.
	Many congratulations.
	Only truth and quality like the No Agenda show can stand the test of time.
	The figure eight is, and she's from Japan, Dame Astrid.
	The figure eight is an endless loop and therefore stands for Into Eternity.
	So yes, No Agenda forever!
	Go podcasting!
	Drop the mic and grab the popcorn.
	With the state secrecy law, the security bill now implemented in Japan, the, quote, my number, social security, and tax number system soon to follow, and the Japan's education ministry asking universities to act social science and humanities in favor of more practical vocational education so the young slaves can better serve their country, I can't help being reminded of It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis.
	Yes.
	Yes, classic and no agenda book.
	Please keep it coming.
	We desperately need you.
	Heck, I might even overcome my analog self one day and get a ham license.
	I already caught myself oogling at Airstreams.
	It is with enormous pleasure that Kleindytham Architecture contributes to no agenda, and this should bring Sir Mark, Baron of Tokyo, up to be the Duke.
	Duke of Tokyo.
	Duke of Japan.
	Duke of Japan, I'm sorry.
	We cleared it up later.
	We cleared it up.
	Taken care of.
	Thank you very much, Dame Astrid and Sir Mark.
	And thank you, everybody, who has helped us throughout the years in many different forms.
	It's highly appreciated.
	Even for today's show, a lot of people coming in with amounts under the $50 level for reasons of anonymity or subscriptions.
	Did we get some 8s down at the bottom there?
	Just some $8?
	I'm sure we did.
	Oh yeah, a lot of 8.88 and 8 and 808 and stuff like that.
	Super nice.
	It's really appreciated.
	It's your show.
	And you will have another one of these shows coming up on Sunday.
	Tavoris.org slash N-A.
	It's your birthday, birthday.
	I'm so a champion.
	And Kitty says happy birthday to you with Mother G.
	Judy celebrated yesterday on the 28th.

	Happy birthday to you and to the best podcast in the universe.
	The No Agenda Show.
	It's your birthday, yeah!
	Okay, we have one nighting today.
	This is for Eric Van Marder.
	Here's my blade.
	I haven't put the sash together yet, but I want to start wearing the sash when I do the ceremony.
	Oh yeah, you would be standing.
	You're standing anyway.
	I'm a stander.
	You're upstanding in your field.
	There we go.
	Eric Van Marner, step forward, sir.
	You have achieved a spot at the roundtable of the Knights of the Dames for your contribution to the amount of $1,000 or more, and we highly appreciate that, and hereby pronounce to KV, Sir Eric V.M. Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	For you, my friend, by request, hookers and blow-rent boys and chardonnay, crickets and cream, Cuban cigars and single malt scotch, pork ribs and pale ale, drams and DMT, sake and sushi, malted barley and hops, hookers and molly, porn stars and pot, Long-haired heavy metal guys in scotch, bong hits and bourbon, and mutton and mead.
	You hear my voice is going now.
	It is.
	Did you get the crickets and goo in there?
	Crickets and cream?
	Yeah, crickets and cream.
	Of course.
	Yeah.
	So...
	Not good.
	No, crickets and cream.
	That was a minimum.
	I had a...
	I don't know if you want to talk about this.
	You know, Ashton Carter...
	Was talking a lot on the...
	Droopy dog.
	Yeah, droopy dog.
	Well, this guy, there's no doubt about it.
	We're going to war, and we're putting troops in Iraq.
	We're putting troops everywhere.
	Oh, that's funny you bring this up, because there was one of the hearings.
	I didn't clip it.
	See, I watched all these hearings, so I might have it, what you're talking about.
	Well, it's one of the four-star guys.
	Yeah, that was...
	I think it's the head of the Marine Corps.
	Dundun...
	What's his name?
	Yeah, Dundun Dundun.
	Dodo Dundun.
	Dodo Dundun.
	Yeah, that guy.
	The head of the Marine Corps.
	Mm-hmm.
	And he's all in on this.
	We've got to put the troops on the ground and let them get killed.
	Who gives a crap?
	Well, it's a little different.
	Ash Carter, we've always laughed because we have the contacts as a part of the No Agenda Intelligence Network when they talk about advisors.
	Yes, we have advisors in on the ground.
	They're not really fighting.
	It's just advisors.
	Where's my white screen?
	So Ash Carter, in one single sentence, like in 40 seconds, will blow the lid on what these advisors are really doing.
	So could you please explain how more raids fits with no combat troops?
	It doesn't represent us assuming a combat role.
	It represents a continuation of our advise and assist mission.
	And I said right from...
	Advise and assist mission.
	Okay, so we're saying no combat role.
	He's added a word.
	Yeah, but wait.
	The beginning, David, and we mean this, when we find opportunities...
	To do things that will effectively prosecute the campaign, we're going to do that.
	Could you provide us some of that detail?
	I can.
	I'm very impressed by what it happened.
	Well, I am, and I tell you, Mick, that's on the basis of the reports I've gotten, so I want to be careful about that, because this is combat, things are complicated.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute.
	They're in an advise and assist role, yet he can't get any information because they're in combat.
	Yeah, that's what he said.
	Something is wrong.
	Something's amiss.
	It was actually Tim Kaine, who's a Democrat.
	I like it when a Democrat is fun to listen to, for once.
	And he was really grilling Ashton Carter.
	You know, it's so obvious why this guy is in here.
	And it kind of all fits into the president first vetoed the National Defense Authorization Act.
	And we don't know exactly what has happened, but somehow we had the budget talks.
	And it seems like money from Social Security, and I think it's about 80 billion.
	This is a number 60 or 80 billion that I've been hearing.
	I think that somehow comes around and that will now fill up the so-called sequester gap in the NDAA. - They're steal money from the old folks.
	Stealing money.
	Hey, AARP is sending me notes already.
	What are they telling you?
	That they're taking the money?
	Join.
	They say, join up.
	You're old.
	No, they're not going to help you.
	They say, join up.
	You're old.
	What is it?
	American Association of Retired People?
	Yeah.
	It comes back to me in 30 years.
	I'll never be able to retire.
	Yeah.
	So they're trying to justify, I guess, how we can now put more troops back in in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Syria.
	And Tim Kaine is working with Ash Carter here.
	Although I like this guy because he sets him up and he comes around with something that you and I will agree with.
	So first he needs a little background.
	He's teeing up this general about ISIL. Currently, I think I'm right on this.
	We are engaged in activities against ISIL, military activities in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya.
	And then when we were on a, during that week of congressional recess, the president sent to Congress a War Powers letter indicating the detachment of, I think, 300 American troops to Cameroon to protect the pipeline.
	To assist in activities against Boko Haram, which has pledged allegiance to ISIL. Have I omitted any countries where there is currently activity that is either ISIL activity or groups that have pledged allegiance to ISIL? We're watching ISIL all over the world, Senator, as you know.
	It has aspirations and tries to metastasize, uses the web.
	Oh, they use the web!
	The web!
	Listen to the pronounced B. The web.
	Uses the web.
	Web.
	The web.
	The web.
	We have had, and Dr.
	Comey's made this very clear, Americans who have self-radicalized.
	Actually, that's going to be my next question.
	And so this is a phenomenon that is around the world.
	We're watching it around the world, not just ourselves, but in law enforcement and intelligence circles.
	It's one of the reasons why ISIL needs to be defeated.
	In terms of kind of kinetic activities by the military, though, am I right that currently it's Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, and then the deployment of troops to Cameroon?
	It depends on what you mean by that.
	You want to go ahead, Joe.
	Joe.
	Joe Dunbar, I think.
	That's the general.
	Joe.
	Hey, Joe, go ahead, Joe.
	We don't currently have operations ongoing in Yemen, direct operations against ISIL. We don't have operations against Libya, against ISIL. What?
	And our support in Cameroon is ISR. We have no operations.
	What?
	In support of operations against Boko Haram.
	Okay.
	But Secretary Carter...
	We can get you what we're doing in each country.
	All right.
	Now we have...
	This is Ash Carter now talking about ISIS and about a new term that we need to be aware of.
	Maybe it's not that new, but I haven't heard it that often, which is boots on the ground.
	We need a new term for that.
	Secretary Carter, you indicate we're watching ISIL in other countries.
	Is it fair to assume, based on your joint professional judgment, that...
	ISIL continues to mutate and find adherence in other countries, and we may well have to contemplate DOD activity against ISIL in nations other than those.
	DOD activity.
	It could come to that, and that's why I think we need to kill the source of it, which is in Syria and Iraq.
	Okay, so final clip here.
	There's another one, but it's too long.
	Tim Kaine wraps this up.
	So he's gotten all this information about all these ISIL, ISIS, DOD actions.
	War.
	We're at war everywhere.
	We're killing brown people in sandy areas mainly.
	And he wraps it up with a way that I like.
	The administration's position about the authority to wage this war is based upon an authorization that was passed on September 18, 2001, before many of us were here.
	That specifically says the President is authorized to use force against those who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.
	And I would just renew my observation that I think it would have been far beyond the contemplation of The members of Congress who voted on that at the time, and it's certainly beyond the contemplation of those of us who did not vote on that at the time, that those words would be applying 15 years later to an effort in the countries I just mentioned that may mutate to other countries that is, by the admission of our witnesses today, likely to take a good deal more.
	I think it's very much time that Congress revisit the question of this authorization and try to provide some...
	Underlying legal justification for the ongoing military action with that, Mr.
	Chair, I think.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	They'll be marginalized, kicked off a committee.
	Probably, but he's right.
	This was authorized for anyone who was a part of the September 11, 2001.
	Yeah, it was Cameroonians, for sure.
	Well, you know, they're part of this fighting Boko Haram, who have pledged allegiance to ISIS, which is a splinter of Al-Qaeda.
	That's unbelievable.
	Stop it, people!
	Stop it!
	The clip you didn't get, which I wish I had gotten, was where they were going.
	There was a Carter.
	I've got to go back.
	I think I still find this clip.
	Carter goes on and he says, well, we'd like to cooperate with anybody who wants to help us, the Swiss, the French, the Germans, anybody who wants to help us in this fight against these horrible people.
	We're all in on.
	And then, like, after a couple more questions, somebody says, what about Russia?
	Oh, we don't want any help from them.
	Right, right.
	It's like, we don't want any help from the Russians.
	They're screwing things up.
	Whatever our scheme is, the Russians aren't playing the ball.
	The only thing you need to know about those conversations is when they say terrorists, that means the fighters funded by the Department of Defense and by CIA. Two different groups.
	That's what the terrorists are.
	Not ISIL. And I think I did get that clip somewhere where...
	Maybe this is it.
	Let me see.
	I'm the leading state sponsor of terrorism.
	No, that's not it.
	It's a good one.
	Well, I have kind of an Ask Adam clip for you.
	Okay, do you want me to play the jingle?
	Yeah, let's play the jingle.
	Okay, here we go.
	We're playing a jingle.
	When John Cedar Horax got a burning question, what should we do?
	Ask Adam.
	Woo!
	All right, John.
	Roll it out on me.
	Okay, now I have a...
	I'm very disappointed in NCIS. I think it's the best show on television.
	It's the best written show.
	It's the best structured show.
	It's got the best characters.
	It's been on for almost 20 years.
	Because it's so...
	They don't chimp, chimp.
	They don't cheap out on the writing.
	There's no doubt about it.
	They're paying people top dollar.
	Right.
	But I'm very disappointed in the last episode.
	And this is right after you told me you loved that show.
	I know.
	This is the irony.
	Because I said, hey, I'm going to watch this show, Revenge.
	And you said, oh yeah, it's great, but beware.
	It's a soap opera that never ends.
	Which you're right.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	I do not recommend watching.
	These are standalone shows.
	There is a long arc, but it's not important on the NCIS. Now, so I'm listening to this clip.
	I want you to find the two gaffes, two huge blunders, the two stupid things that are said in this very short clip, and I'm sure you can identify them.
	Okay, I got my pen.
	I have my pad.
	Two things.
	Two things.
	All right.
	Here we go.
	I'll be quiet now.
	I need total silence.
	Okay.
	Joining us, we have breaking news out of Dubai.
	Early this morning in the downtown business district, two explosive devices- Give me a sit-round.
	Terror attack in Dubai.
	Two bombs detonated inside the Monroe Hotel.
	Al Shabab claimed responsibility.
	How many people inside?
	Over 500.
	There was chatter.
	Why didn't they change the venue?
	They?
	NSA. Wait, I didn't hear that last little while.
	Hold on a second.
	There's chatter that they...
	There's chatter.
	Why didn't they change the venue?
	Of change of venue?
	Is that what she said?
	There's chatter they wanted to change the venue.
	They?
	NSA. Okay, two gaffes.
	Wow.
	I don't think that hotel was in the downtown district.
	Is that gaffless?
	Close, but no cigar.
	The hotel is not even in that country.
	Okay.
	The hotel is in the UAE. So I got that one.
	In Bahrain.
	We'll give you a ding on that.
	I got a ding.
	I got a ding.
	Now the second thing...
	You got the wrong country.
	Hold on.
	I think I should listen to it again.
	Hold on.
	One more time.
	Joining us, we have breaking news out of Dubai.
	Early this morning in the downtown business district, two explosive devices...
	Give me a sit-rate.
	Terror attack in Dubai.
	Two bombs set in eight inside the Monroe Hotel.
	Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility.
	How many people inside?
	Number 500.
	There was chatter.
	Why didn't they change the venue?
	Wait a minute.
	NSA.
	Wait a minute.
	Al Shabab.
	They're not in...
	Where's Al-Shabaab?
	Somalia.
	Yeah, see, I knew that was wrong.
	And they never got any further than Kenya.
	They're an African operation.
	They were not allowed to go up to Dubai.
	By the way, nobody is.
	And blow up a hotel.
	This is bullcrap.
	Al-Shabaab.
	Al-Shabaab.
	Yeah, that is pretty sad, actually.
	I'm going to take a ding for that, though.
	I think I got it.
	I think I got it.
	It wasn't that hard.
	There was only two items in the group.
	NSA was mentioned, but I don't know what that's got to do with anything.
	Her boyfriend works for the NSA, and she was worried sick that he was killed in the thing, but he wasn't.
	Lame.
	Fascinating.
	Bad, bad, bad, NCIS. Yeah, yeah.
	You know, I wanted to tell you that, actually, for everyone to know, I called John yesterday.
	And after that, I thought, I'm so stupid.
	Again, such great material that I don't capture for the show.
	Because I was making No Agenda Chicken, which I'd forgotten was No Agenda Chicken.
	I just remember it is the chicken with all the stuff underneath it.
	It was no agenda chicken.
	Yeah, and then you go, ah, yes, no agenda chicken.
	I said, oh, I could have looked it up online.
	What was the timing and what was the oven setting?
	And you said that the Brussels sprouts wouldn't work.
	I want you to know that I made the Brussels sprouts work.
	Okay.
	And I did it by chopping them in three bits, discarding the bit that is nearest to the vine, and then just taking those two halves of two-thirds and putting those in.
	It was perfect.
	Okay.
	That's good to know.
	It really works.
	Really works.
	Google no-agenda chicken.
	This is a dish you can make.
	It's one of the official dishes of the show.
	It is, without a doubt.
	It's an easy way to make a meal for, like...
	I think up to five people if you have a big enough thing.
	But three, four, easy.
	Without having to do anything more than one device.
	You have to one pan and you put everything in there and it cooks.
	It's fine.
	And it won't give you cancer.
	Unlike red meat.
	No, it's chicken.
	Yeah, it's chicken.
	There's also been the chicken council behind all this bull crap.
	Eat more chicken.
	Yeah.
	Which gets tired, by the way.
	It gets old.
	Oh, no, that's...
	What is that?
	That's the...
	That's the...
	Could have been Chick-fil-A behind this one.
	Chick-fil-A, right.
	Alright, I got a little offbeat clip.
	This is just something funny.
	We always talk about NGOs and their spies.
	Here, North Korea and the NGO. A big scandal.
	Yes, this is a good one indeed.
	A new investigation has revealed the Pentagon used a humanitarian NGO as a front for spying on North Korea.
	The Intercept reports the Pentagon paid humanitarian international services group millions of dollars to infiltrate North Korea and spy on its nuclear program.
	But none of the Christian missionaries, aid workers or smugglers who were hired to move equipment as part of the effort were aware they were part of the secret Pentagon operation.
	Yeah.
	It's like, anyone who listens to No Agenda for more than a couple of months knows this, knows how that works.
	It's hilarious.
	Yeah, and that's why Putin kicks out all the non-profits.
	Yeah, all that bastard Putin.
	You know, we've heard so many times, in fact, in this election cycle, about Denmark.
	Denmark is so great.
	Everybody's happy.
	Everybody's, you know, jacked up.
	They got free everything, free healthcare, free education.
	And cute blondes.
	It's the...
	It's the happiest place on earth.
	It is.
	And Bernie Sanders wants us to be like Denmark.
	Now, what we did find out is that there's part of being the happiest country on earth with free health care, free schooling, free swimming pools.
	I don't know what else.
	Free.
	It's all great.
	Blondes.
	Free beautiful blondes.
	They also write a lot of prescriptions for drugs.
	You know, happy pill drugs.
	The kind of stuff that have the disclaimers.
	The stuff that we joke about.
	The SSRIs.
	And this Dr. Peter Gooch, who was ahead of, well, he actually introduced himself in this clip, comes out and says something about the pharmaceutical industry and the medical industry, the doctors in the happiest comes out and says something about the pharmaceutical industry and the medical industry, My name is Peter Gertje.
	I'm a director of the Nordic Cochrane Center in Copenhagen and professor of research design and analysis at the University of Copenhagen.
	Two years ago I found out that our prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer.
	Our drugs kill around 200,000 people in America every year.
	And half of these people die while they do what their doctors told them.
	So they die because of the side effects.
	The other half die because of errors.
	And it's often the doctors that make the errors because any drug may come with 20, 30 or 40 warnings, contraindications, precautions and so on.
	No doctor in the world knows about all this.
	So, they give patients drugs that they should not have given them, that interact dangerously with other drugs or food items or so on, and then the patients die.
	That's the other half.
	So, the other thing I found out two years ago was that much of what the drug industry does fulfills the criteria for organized crime in US law.
	And they behave in many ways like the mafia does.
	They corrupt everyone they can corrupt.
	They have bought every type of person, even including ministers of health in some countries.
	There is a huge amount of corruption.
	In my country, for example, Denmark, we are regarded as having very little corruption, but yet we have thousands of doctors on industry payroll, although we are just 20,000 doctors.
	So this is an effective kind of corruption.
	The drug industry buys the professors first, then chiefs of department, then other chief physicians and so on.
	They don't buy junior doctors.
	So when several thousands are on industry payroll, it's really, really bad.
	And that's why I wrote my book, Deadly Medicines and Organized Crime, how Big Pharma has corrupted healthcare.
	I hope to convince patients not to take so many drugs, because so many die from the drugs they take.
	Yeah, you better not be hopping in any hot tubs, my friend.
	Yeah, I'd be careful.
	He should be very careful.
	I remember that one, probably three, four, five, maybe six months ago, there was some, one of these, I played the clip of the guy, but we didn't have the visual.
	He had some smaller drug company looking into selling this sort of crap, and he looked like a mobster.
	Yeah.
	I mean, he looked like a gangster.
	He had to look at it.
	We got to do this.
	We got to raise the price.
	It's great.
	You do that very well.
	Yeah.
	I think we need to talk briefly about China.
	Before we do that, I do have one thing I want to just at least mention in passing before we get too far along.
	Because we talked about it on the last show, and I wanted to see what happened, because we talked about it on the last show, this stupid 200-mile-an-hour hurricane, which is now the fastest on record, the warmest...
	We'll be able to use this.
	We'll be able to use this.
	We're all going to die.
	We don't need to model anymore.
	We're seeing it happen right now before our very eyes.
	There it was.
	It's 100 miles an hour that comes in at 35 miles an hour, doesn't do anything, craps out.
	Yeah.
	So I wouldn't want it, because this happened over the weekend, I wondered what were the news guys going to do about it, and how were they going to deal with it?
	Were they going to bring it up?
	Were they going to bring up what was obvious?
	Why were we told this was this horrible thing, and it came and nothing happened, and, you know, knocked over, didn't really even knock over that many trees, and there was even, I saw a clip of some guy saying, wandering around, because they sent him there on NBC. Yeah, he had to come up with a report.
	One crummy roof.
	It was a tin roof.
	It was like a corrugated roof over a chicken coop.
	And he's showing how it got blown away.
	Okay.
	So here's the kind of things that we ended up with.
	This is NBC and the Patricia.
	Here's how they decided to reference it.
	Every network did this.
	Nobody talked about what a phony hurricane this was.
	Millions of Americans across several states of the South and South Central U.S. are dealing with a punishing mix of torrential rain, flooding, and the threat of tornadoes.
	Part of a one-two punch that began as a storm that lasted for days.
	Then the remnants of Hurricane Patricia on top of it with no break in between.
	NBC's Janet Shamlian is in the Storm Zone tonight.
	Storm Zone.
	That's how they did it.
	Yeah.
	That's how you get away with it.
	Yeah.
	People.
	I was disgusted by that.
	Ted Koppel is right.
	Ted Koppel is right.
	The internet is a weapon of mass destruction.
	The elites, the media are using it to make us eat ourselves after the bugs.
	I don't know what it is.
	It's crazy.
	And now this China thing, which there's some legitimate cause for concern.
	Now you're talking about the islands.
	The islands, yes.
	Yes.
	That's a quick little clip with a background.
	China was building its new airbase here on a reef called Fiery Cross.
	By April this year, this is what it looked like, filmed from a U.S. Navy aircraft.
	China claims these new artificial islands are its sovereign territory.
	The US strongly disagrees.
	And so today the US Navy sailed this guided missile destroyer right in to those contested waters.
	It was a very deliberate act, one that provoked this furious, if unofficial, response from Beijing.
	American military vessels sailing in China's territorial waters, he says, at China's front door.
	The whole of China is in rage and the entire country is calling for a strike back.
	This is BBC. I'm under the impression, the distinct impression, that they never got within 12 miles of the islands.
	I don't think they did.
	They stayed away.
	They stayed 12 miles away and China just bent out of shape that they were cruising around.
	But I think the Chinese don't belong there.
	This is right in the middle of the opening of the Straits of Malacca.
	Well, there's that element.
	You can't have the Chinese sitting as a...
	And the oil in the area.
	Yes.
	But I think that this is strategic on their part.
	And, you know, the Chinese Navy is growing.
	They're building it.
	Our Navy is decrepit.
	Our Navy is not even borderline decrepit when you compare it to the Chinese Navy and that crappy one aircraft carrier they bought from France on surplus.
	With a big loop at the end.
	Surplus.
	Surplus store.
	It's a surplus piece of crap.
	Our most modern Navy gear is, like, frightening.
	It's not decrepit.
	That's a myth.
	Okay, okay.
	I'm in with you.
	But I'm also in with these Chinese need to get out of there.
	That is one of the busiest shipping lanes, and they're going to be right in the middle of it?
	That's not okay on an international scale.
	Well...
	It'll be a fuss made over it, that's for sure.
	They will have to relent.
	They will have to go away.
	This is what Kerry's been talking about with the 12 miles, the law of the sea.
	It's all about this.
	You remember CNN flew over and it was like, American Yankee, you go home, do not fly with 25!
	Remember we had that clip?
	Yeah, you should still have that clip.
	That's a good one.
	I probably have it.
	What was it?
	It was funny.
	What do you think I would have called that?
	Thread?
	I don't know.
	You have your own naming convention.
	I probably would have had like CNN doing something.
	CNN, Thread, China.
	I don't think I can find it that fast.
	Anyway.
	Can't be found.
	No.
	But I think your imitation of it was just as good.
	Here we go.
	I found it.
	Oh my goodness.
	Here we go.
	Foreign military aircraft.
	This is Chinese TV.
	You are approaching our military alert zone.
	American Yankee Ball!
	Leave immediately.
	High above the South China Sea, the radio crackles with a stern warning.
	And this was May.
	So that's how long we've been at this.
	And that's the way we do that.
	By the way, nobody else does these sorts of references.
	No.
	Because we have a long arc show.
	If something screwy happens, we keep tabs on it.
	We do.
	Do you know that I actually ran out of disk space yesterday on the main production machine?
	Really?
	What did you have?
	It's an Apple, right?
	So what did you have?
	200 megabytes or something on that?
	Apple put on 200 megabytes.
	I'll tell you.
	I'll tell you.
	Hold on.
	It is 250 gigabytes.
	Total, which is not big.
	Okay, it's small.
	But it's a MacBook because it needs to be mobile.
	Oh, wow.
	So I'm going to have to buy an external drive now because I was down to one gigabyte and I went and deleted it.
	Well, is that an SSD, that 250?
	It might be.
	You don't need an external driver.
	Just pull that baby out of there.
	Copy it over?
	Pull it out.
	Drop in a 500 or a terabyte SSD. Oh, man.
	That sounds really dangerous.
	Hold on.
	Let me see.
	About this Mac, it'll tell me what's in it, won't it?
	More info?
	Better.
	Uh...
	Hmm.
	It doesn't tell me what the hard drive is.
	Oh, here we go.
	Is that ATA? It should immediately come up with the following words.
	You pay too much for this hard drive in this Mac.
	It should say that.
	Hold on.
	That's ATA hardware.
	It shouldn't have the...
	Oh, volumes.
	Here we go.
	No.
	This is crazy.
	Well, someone in the chat room will tell you how to do it.
	You have to push the cloverleaf, hold down the 8 key.
	Oh, here we go.
	Yeah, SSD. Okay, that's a plus.
	Okay.
	How big?
	Capacity 209.
	No, that's the EFI. At 250 gigabytes, that's what I told you.
	Yeah, you can pull, could drop a 5.
	Okay.
	I'm going to have to find someone to help me with that.
	Very worried about doing that.
	Why?
	Because, you know, this system is down and the show is down.
	There's a couple of systems out there.
	I can't think of the names of them, but I use one of them.
	You boot off of this drive...
	And then it completely goes.
	It takes an exact copy of the old disk and moves it onto a file.
	And then when you put the new drive in, then you boot off that same sketchy product.
	Yeah, so you have to copy every sector over.
	Yeah, it has to be exactly copied.
	And it'll push it over...
	To the 500 gig drive and make it bootable exactly the same way it was.
	It'll look just like the 250.
	Then you've got to go in and stretch the partition afterwards, after you booted it.
	Stretch the partition.
	Let me write that down.
	Maybe it's not even possible on the Mac to do what I described.
	I'm going to stretch the partition by what?
	One or two lids?
	Two lids.
	Which is, you know, you get a special discount.
	We'll work on it.
	Speaking of which, for the Hail Apple Steve Jobs movie, like the bottom of the list, the box office, no one's watching this movie.
	Who wants to?
	It's a Sorkin film.
	They're always horrible.
	Yeah, but that's what's so funny.
	Oh, the Steve Jobs movie.
	Tech Horny, Steve Jobs.
	Oh, it's so great.
	Done by Danny Boyle.
	Danny Boyle is great to train spotting.
	And then, you know, what are they doing?
	This sounds exactly like the chatter you've heard.
	Yes, it was like $7 million.
	What do you think of it?
	I think it's great.
	What do you think of it?
	I think it's great.
	I like that.
	I think it's a good line.
	The Steve Wozniak.
	Hail Apple.
	Yeah, no, it's very funny to listen to the reviews of that thing.
	All right.
	Yeah, no, by the reviews, it should be the number one movie.
	And then I wanted to mention, finally, another Doctors Without Borders movie.
	The hospital was bombed.
	Oh, really?
	Yes, I think it was in Yemen this time, where we are only in an advise and assist role.
	They said we'll drop bombs on the Doctors Without Borders hospital.
	Now, there is...
	And you'll notice, I think the president always...
	There's always reference to MSF, which is Médecins Sans Frontières.
	And the Obama administration, because I figured something's wrong here, they've been really at odds with Doctors Without Borders for a long time.
	Primarily, like the last straw.
	And the founder of Doctors Without Borders, he left, and it was a huge blow-up.
	And it's a political organization.
	We've talked about this.
	Yes, there's doctors on the ground, but it's a big, it's a huge budget.
	And it's a political organization.
	They were...
	I think the Obama administration is angry that they started this...
	Oh, there's Ebola outbreak.
	While they were about to do a vaccination trial, because I think Doctors Without Borders does that for the pharmaceutical industry.
	If I'm wrong, let me know.
	But they really, so what I've been reading is that really the Ebola outbreak wasn't such a huge deal, and the Obama administration wanted to run it differently or had some other plan to get those, what is it now, 3,500 troops in there, which I guess they're still there, even though the Ebola crisis never seemed to really pan out.
	So they're a pain in the ass for some reason.
	And, you know, when someone bothers us here in America, you know, we bomb you.
	It works.
	Yeah.
	Usually shuts you up.
	I'm looking into this.
	Now you've chosen this as some horrible thing you've got to now look into.
	I don't mind.
	I think it's going to be great.
	So there's a problem.
	This bombing is not coincidental.
	It's what we do.
	It's what we do.
	And I'm sure there was a lot of guys saying, hey, we shouldn't be bombing a hospital.
	Nah, we've got to do this for this reason.
	No, that's why you haven't heard anything since.
	Gotta bomb these guys, yeah.
	Alright, I got one.
	This was a strange thing that happened at the first game of the World Series.
	The power went out, and Fox lost their stuff completely twice and had to give a blue screen of death to the viewers.
	Now this is like, for professional broadcasters, this is...
	It's very bad.
	In fact, most of the networks, they have a complete backup system for events like this, which are massive major events.
	And you've seen it happen.
	There's HD or the high-definition broadcast going, and then somebody trips over a cord, and boom, immediately goes to a low-definition, but it's still going on.
	They don't lose the thing completely like they did.
	But there was a strange little tidbit when they tried to explain this on the nightly news that I thought was just, they didn't, you know, again, just play this clip and I'll tell you what we're talking about.
	Which clip is it?
	Fox Blows Out.
	Ah, yes.
	Of course, we're wishing him well.
	And there was something else about the game, and now the apology over going to black.
	ABC's TJ Holmes on the glitch seen by millions.
	Glitch!
	Hi!
	We were having some technical difficulties.
	It was the middle of the fourth of an epic 14-inning World Series opener when TVs across the country went to this.
	Fox commentators at a loss.
	I don't think it's a weather problem because it wasn't raining at the time of this.
	Fox broadcasting has taken some kind of a technical glitch.
	Glitch!
	The game was halted here in the stadium.
	Meanwhile, fans at home were having a field day on social media.
	For one fan, it was kind of like watching baseball with the Flintstones.
	Another asking, did you try unplugging it and plugging it back in?
	Do I hear our music?
	Does that mean we're going back to Kansas City?
	After five minutes and a second outage, power restored.
	Fox now apologizing, blaming the outage on a rare electronics failure.
	Google Fiber, providers of high-speed internet, apologizes to its customers, too.
	As for game two tonight, rest assured, baseball fans.
	I got 99 glitches.
	Glitch.
	Glitch.
	It's just a glitch.
	And put a Goatsy on there, will ya?
	Alright.
	Right.
	What does any of this have to do with Google apologizing?
	Ah, because Google, who provide Google Fiber, which is television, they lost their network in a whole different state.
	That's what happened.
	Yeah.
	It was never really mentioned during this report.
	No.
	It was just Fox scrambling around and apologizing and acting like idiots.
	And then Google slightly apologized.
	There's no press release.
	There's no mention.
	Because Google, it doesn't tell you anything.
	Yeah, Kansas City.
	Yeah, Kansas City.
	And they own Kansas City Fiber.
	That's their first...
	So it was Google.
	I think it was Google.
	Somebody flipped the switch or did something or somebody hated the game.
	Well, hold on.
	Now we're going to search...
	Hold on.
	Check this out.
	Search.nashownotes.com.
	I believe years ago when we were talking about sunspot activity and how it can ruin satellite transmissions, I believe we had a story about Fox.
	Maybe it was from one of our producers who said, you know, Fox, specifically Fox is going all IP. They don't want to rely on satellites.
	They're doing everything over internet protocol.
	It's possible that they were using some of the infrastructure.
	I think it's more than possible.
	Because there's no other reason for Google to apologize to its customers, meaning Fox.
	It was its customer.
	That's what I think, yeah.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I don't think a lot of people realize how the networks think.
	They do not, the big boys, the big boys, they do not like seeing stuff like this happen.
	We already have Wired, who as we know is manipulable.
	Don't blame Google Fiber for that World Series outage.
	Okay, I'll have to look into that.
	I think you're right.
	It was probably all Google's fault.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I'm sure it was.
	You know, they're not broadcast.
	The broadcasting people are just, everything is duplicated.
	They do not like, because what happens, this was an ABC story.
	They like to chide each other.
	These guys are amateurs.
	And then the next negotiations for the World Series come up with baseball.
	And you say, you can't trust these guys.
	They're amateurs.
	That's right.
	It costs money.
	Look at the money.
	It was embarrassing.
	People turned off the sets.
	A lot of people didn't watch after that.
	It was a great game.
	Would you trust them again?
	It's a very big problem.
	You have a problem.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's Google.
	It's a glitch.
	This is a glitch.
	Hold on a second.
	By the way, I thought the twice use of the word glitch was a bonus.
	That was a big bonus.
	Hold on a second.
	So I have to mention one thing because in that clip it brought up the weather.
	IBM just bought the weather company's digital assets.
	What?
	Yeah.
	From the Rothschilds?
	Yep.
	They did not, however, buy the weather channel.
	Just all the digital assets.
	So IBM is now going to be in charge of all that.
	The weather.
	Oh, that's because they want to put...
	This has got something to do with Watson.
	Yeah, of course.
	Of course.
	And Watson will come up with, I don't know, some climate change strategies?
	Oh, yeah.
	Guaranteed.
	Guaranteed.
	It's crazy.
	I mean, you can't even...
	Watson, what can I do to help solve climate change?
	Nothing.
	Eat less meat.
	Don't fart, eat less meat.
	And, of course, we can't leave today's program without chuckling about the...
	Well, I'll just call it a drone, but okay.
	It was a balloon.
	Not a balloon.
	Yeah, but you know what this thing is?
	Everyone's, oh, this is a surveillance for incoming missiles.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	It works so well.
	We caught the guy in the gyrocopter flying right onto the White House lawn.
	So, no.
	These things, it's called J-Lens, I think is what it's called.
	If you look at the specs of this, this is where they have that Argus, the huge, high resolution.
	They can follow you, your car, anything.
	This is a total shut-up slave thing.
	And thank God it crashed.
	It was funny.
	Floating around, shortening out power lines.
	I like that part.
	Then it busted in two and fell apart.
	I like that part.
	I think that's hilarious.
	It was good work.
	Burning up power lines.
	They had one of the networks had an early report when they first put this thing up and locals were complaining, and they had the report with the guy, well, is there any chance this thing can get loose?
	No!
	There's no chance in a million years.
	We've got this tether here, and the guy showed all the gear that Wyatt would never get loose.
	Yeah, and I think it's like two billion dollars or something.
	It was crazy.
	It was a few million or a couple million, maybe.
	I just wanted to, a lot of people, just so you don't have to do this anymore, people are sending me this note that Google has now, they're getting into podcasting.
	Because it's hot, you know, it's hot.
	It's hot podcasting.
	It's hot.
	It's hot.
	We got to get in on that podcasting.
	Go podcasting.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Go podcasting!
	And so they're like, hey, just submit your RSS feed and it'll be great.
	They already threw RSS out the window.
	They already threw it under the bus.
	Yeah, well, not for podcasts.
	But here's why we're not going to do that.
	One, Google, in their terms of service, no one bothers to look at this, of course, they assign themselves the right to put any type of advertising at the end of your show, after your show.
	They won't do pre-roll, they won't do mid-roll, but they will do advertising after the show, which is just a start.
	Oh, yeah, that's just the beginning.
	It doesn't mean anything.
	It's no big deal.
	But here's the mistake that people make.
	Well, first, I'll tell you what else.
	So then they have your show has to adhere to the content and conduct policies for podcasts.
	Why don't you just work for a suit?
	So you, number three on the list, do not distribute content that promotes hatred or violence towards groups of people based on their race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, or sexual orientation slash gender identity.
	So are you telling me that I, you're telling me this, that I can't do an anti-Al Qaeda, anti-terrorist show?
	Nope.
	That would be, that would, technically that would be hate speech.
	I can't say all these terrorists should be dead, these Al-Qaeda bad guys should be killed, and the wars that we're in, we should kill the enemy?
	You can't do that.
	What, is it anti-American?
	What is wrong with these people?
	Also, you may not spam, including sending unwanted promotional or commercial content or unwanted mass solicitation.
	Do not create...
	I can't...
	So wait a minute.
	So I can't say, can you give us donations, everybody out there?
	Dvorak.org slash NA. It would be very useful, especially this upcoming Sunday show, because usually we have a fall-off after an anniversary, and it'd be nice to pick up the slack a little bit.
	I can't do that.
	I will read you the line that forbids you from doing this.
	Do not create podcasts or pages on Google Play with the sole purpose of advertising content or services outside of Google Play.
	We can't even send someone to a different service.
	Do not distribute depictions of gratuitous violence.
	Do not threaten, harass, defame, libel, or slander other people.
	And do not use our products to bully other people.
	I can't say alawaki's a douchebag.
	No, you're bullying.
	We can't even use the douchebag call out with people doing it with their buddies.
	That's right.
	Douchebag!
	That's right.
	So that's illegal or it violates their terms.
	So they can't.
	So you don't have a choice.
	You said that we're not going to do it.
	Yeah, we can't do it.
	It's illegal by their terms of service.
	To monetize your...
	Wait, wait, stop.
	So what you're telling me is that anybody who goes along with this and actually...
	Well, here's where it gets bad.
	Yeah.
	Well, what's bad, I know what's going to happen.
	Because people will get uptake, you know, when you're on Google and they'll highlight and, you know, they do everything that Apple did.
	And then you'll be locked in and stuck.
	You'll be afraid to leave because your audience somehow will be connected to this Google Play podcast portal.
	I have a funny idea.
	Okay, hold on.
	To monetize your podcast, you can.
	Here's what you can do.
	You're allowed, by the grace of Google, you can include ads and other methods of monetization and sponsorship in your podcast.
	You can work with advertisers.
	You can work with advertisers.
	Ad networks and other sponsors to help monetize your podcast.
	If you include ads or other monetization in your podcast content, make sure the advertising content complies with the content and conduct policies for podcasts.
	Google reserves the right to show and display image ads alongside podcast content.
	Google will not insert any pre-roll ads before podcast content starts or mid-roll ads during a given podcast episode.
	Google reserves the right to serve post-roll video or audio ads after the podcast content.
	Google Play Music does not provide direct payment or revenue share for your podcast content.
	Mm-hmm.
	Wait a minute.
	They're going to run your podcast and then run an ad and you're not going to get a piece of the action?
	No.
	Okay, so here's how you do it.
	Anyone out there who thinks they're going to use the service at the very end of your podcast, say, and now as we end the podcast, we should note that you will hear an ad from a douchebag.
	Advertiser that won't give us any money and we get no piece of this action.
	So listen away.
	Enjoy yourself with this douchebag.
	Well, that's not going to happen because you violated their terms of service for content and conduct.
	I'm not sure.
	Is that true?
	Yeah, because you said douchebag.
	You disparaged.
	I can reword it.
	I can reword it so it's legal.
	Yeah, but they're going to kick you off.
	They'll kick you off.
	No, people, this is not a good idea.
	This is, in fact, a very bad idea.
	A very, very bad idea.
	This is not the way they did YouTube.
	Yeah, but they're screwing.
	Well, look, that's a great example.
	Anyone who was a partner with YouTube, now they have to sign on to this YouTube Red or whatever it is.
	Otherwise, their shows get deleted.
	So they have to sign this contract or you can still link to it, but you won't have a presence, no page or something.
	It's nuts.
	They're just greedy.
	I don't know why people fall for this crap.
	They want all the money.
	It's so trusting.
	There's so much trust of these companies.
	Well, let's see what happens.
	I have an idea, though.
	We should do a podcast on this Google network.
	Okay.
	And then what?
	And it's just hate speech?
	No.
	No, I don't want to get kicked off.
	I want to stay on.
	It should be all love and milk and roses.
	Ten minute podcast.
	Maybe five minutes.
	I'm writing this down.
	Five to ten minute podcast promoting the great no agenda show.
	Okay.
	And what do we call this?
	And then we say, and make sure to Google No Agenda so you can see what's going on.
	So Google No Agenda.
	You'll love it.
	And you can use Google.
	And we're happy John and happy Adam.
	And here we are with the unicorns.
	And climate change is real.
	Climate change is real.
	Listen to No Agenda when you get the chance.
	You might enjoy it if you love listening to us.
	If you're all in on climate change...
	I'm all in.
	And you're transgester.
	Five transgester.
	We are the show for you.
	Five minutes of your time.
	It's fine.
	They can run an ad after it.
	No big deal.
	I see it as a marketing tool.
	What could be wrong with that?
	Nothing's wrong with that.
	You think they're going to kick us off?
	Then we can make a fuss.
	That's an even better marketing tool.
	We got kicked off of Google!
	It's too tiring, man.
	It'd be great.
	It's too tiring.
	No.
	Yeah, we can do it.
	A lot of F-Russia news.
	Russian ships are near the undersea data cables.
	Too close for comfort.
	I pointed this out as pre-blaming Russia for something that hasn't happened yet that we're obviously going to do.
	Yeah, we're going to cut the lines and tap into them like we always do.
	Yeah, we blame Russia.
	It's despicable.
	Even better, that was New York Times' headline.
	Russian ship nears data cables are too close for U.S. comfort.
	And of course it says there's no actual fear, no threat, nothing, but it's too close for comfort.
	Thank you, New York Times.
	And the New York Times now saying Russia is responsible for the Syrian refugee surge.
	Is that rich or what?
	Wow.
	That's a good one.
	But think about the implications of that.
	Because that's a way to...
	Europe will love the story.
	Yeah, man.
	Yeah, Putin did that, man.
	All these people are here from Somalia.
	Because Putin in Syria.
	Putin, Putin, Putin.
	It's not even worth commenting on.
	It seems to me, if anything, Putin's trying to stop that, but okay, because he's worried it's going to flow over into Russia.
	But it is the New York Times that says this.
	This is what someone's saying about it.
	Who's the writer?
	Who's the writer on both those stories?
	Hold on, I already closed it up.
	Hold on, hold on.
	I'm going to look him up and see if...
	Okay, let's look at the Russian story for the data cables.
	That was written by David E. Sanger and Eric Schmidt.
	S-C-H-M-I-T-T. Yeah, Sanger.
	And the other one...
	Where was that?
	Now that was which one of the stories?
	The Russian...
	That was the data cables.
	Data cables.
	And the...
	Putin's fault.
	Yeah.
	Putin responsible for the surge is Karim Fahim and Maher Saman.
	I don't know.
	Maher Saman doesn't even have a link and Karim Fahim is...
	I wanted to talk about the New York Times a little bit, but I'm going to put it off to the Sunday show.
	Because I have a funny bit that I'm watching some of the stuff they're doing.
	And it's like, what are you guys kidding me?
	But yeah, David Sanger is very famous.
	He's one of their guys.
	He's a New York Times.
	What do you want me to do next?
	A quick correction on, we were talking, and this kind of ties into the Erdogan, the boss there in Turkey, who had police storm television station during live broadcast, shut it down.
	That is one that is operated by the Gulenists, the Gulen movement.
	That's our guy there in Pennsylvania.
	And a quick correction on the actual stats of the Gulen movement as it relates to charter schools or schools.
	The official numbers, there are over 1,200 Gulen schools worldwide.
	Outside of Turkey, there are more Gulen schools in America than anywhere else in the world, with 149 charter schools in 26 states.
	The total number of kids in Gulen charter schools in the USA exceeds 60,000.
	And Texas has the largest number of them, which is, I think, 43.
	I want to get those numbers right when accusing people of being a-holes.
	All right.
	Noted.
	And then a funny one, something we saw coming from a long way off.
	This week, employees at Rejuvenice in Henderson found Chelsea Aki dead.
	The 24-year-old posted this video on her Instagram.
	It shows a cryo chamber.
	A Metro Police report says Aki died in a chamber like this.
	The Hawaii native was the manager of Rejuvenize.
	I do know that she was alone closing the shop up and then did go into the machine and apparently it didn't turn off.
	Authorities with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration...
	Listen to this.
	Believe Aki was in the chamber for at least 10 hours.
	A police report says the 24 year old used the machine without any assistance.
	It goes on to say Aki may have suffocated.
	Investigators ruled operator error.
	It's very frustrating to know because You know, there are no cameras in there, so basically the only person that does know what happened is Chelsea.
	Cryotherapy experts say no one should be in the machine no longer than three minutes.
	Ten hours.
	We are told the cryo chamber temperatures go down to minus 240 degrees Fahrenheit.
	What could possibly go wrong?
	I suspect murder.
	Murder.
	Now, it's dangerous.
	Yes, it is.
	And it's a great way to kill someone.
	It surely is.
	No cameras, nothing around.
	Just throw in the thing.
	Keep her in there.
	And, you know, you should fight to get out.
	You push her back down until she can't move anymore.
	And then you just leave her there for 10 hours.
	All right.
	Why don't you give us a nice kicker and we'll get out of here.
	Well, I do have a...
	I have a kind of a kicker, but it's not what I would call funny.
	Okay, it doesn't have to be.
	I got a funny one.
	Let's try this.
	With that setup.
	This is just a little...
	That's a bad setup.
	This is just a little bit of...
	I'll keep the other clips.
	I got some other.
	This is Shorty.
	I just thought this was funny.
	They did all these polls, polls to put down Trump.
	But I thought they had an interesting conclusion here in this little polling data that shows Republicans hate the government.
	And Republicans have some deep institutional concerns.
	48% believe the federal government is a threat to their life and liberty, while 74% believe the political system is not working.
	Despite GOP control of the House and Senate.
	Yeah, well, duh.
	We're running it and it doesn't work.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's a beautiful thing.
	All right.
	Well, I look forward to your New York Times thing on Sunday.
	That'll be fun.
	And I have a few things left over here as well.
	And we will keep tracking everything that's going on.
	The migrant crisis.
	Europe falling apart.
	We're killing people everywhere.
	Woo!
	Party!
	World War III. World War III is in full progress.
	We should start, we should pick a date when it really started.
	And just call it that.
	Happy 8th, John.
	It's been a pleasure so far.
	Ah, it's been fantastic.
	Here's to 8 more.
	8 to go.
	8 to go.
	Oh!
	The end of the world.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Alright, everybody.

	Adios, mofo.
	I'm the leading state sponsor of terrorism.
	America!
	America!
	When it comes to dealing with me, you've got a clenched fist or an open hand.
	You pick.
	The party's over to all the dictators.
	Make me commander-in-chief and this crap stops.
	America!
	Fuck yeah!
	Come out again to save the motherfucking day.
