	I have the Fire TV stick.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	And Sunday, November 8th, 2015.
	Time once again for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 772.
	This is no agenda.
	Dropping the mic, grabbing the popcorn, guarding reality, and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone, Star State, here in FEMA Region 6, Austin, Texas.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's actually a gloomy day.
	I've got nothing cheery to say.
	say I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Short, quick, and it rhymed.
	I like it.
	Yeah, it did rhyme.
	You should have dropped the mic.
	I did.
	It's on a stand.
	There it is.
	There it is.
	Try it again.
	Try your...
	Where's your opening line?
	I can't remember.
	It's a gloomy day, nothing to say.
	Gloomy day, nothing cheery to say.
	There you go.
	Drop the mic.
	Working on it.
	So where did you get that sound effect?
	Oh, from the obvious.
	Go broadcasting!
	Your wish is our producer's command.
	Whatever you want, they will send to you.
	I was reading something.
	I think we've overlooked this.
	Yeah, I know we've talked about these trigger warnings, but I didn't realize to what extent these things go.
	You mean as an MKUltra trigger warning?
	No.
	Oh, you're talking about the broadcasting.
	This is the, for example, on almost all British and some Canadian broadcasts, you'll hear caution.
	Yes.
	Flashbulbs.
	Yeah.
	May cause epileptic fits.
	Yes.
	If that is a very old school...
	Trigger warning?
	I never...
	I don't know how old school you mean, but I never heard in my life until like a few years ago.
	Well, apparently...
	I need to talk to some millennials about this, but many teachers in middle schools, but also professors in colleges, universities, are putting content warnings on either papers that are handed out or things that must be read.
	Yeah.
	Sorry, I know.
	Is it being insensitive to think that this is funny?
	Well, I think it's funny, too.
	I had no idea.
	I have three millennials coming over for dinner tonight.
	I'll ask all of them.
	Yes.
	But the trigger warnings are it might make you anxious.
	I had no idea that this was really going on.
	I thought it was just, you know, this is a social justice warrior thing, I might add.
	That we now have to have all of these warnings.
	It used to be warning, the following video has flash photography, may cause epileptic fits, and then of course the classic NSFW. But that's where it stopped for me.
	I had no idea.
	Well, that's not even a trigger warning.
	That's just a warning.
	It's like cliff ahead.
	Road out.
	It's not really a trigger warning.
	It's a warning.
	It's not going to trigger you getting fired, I guess, but it's not going to trigger anything emotional.
	But we have ratings.
	We have R ratings, X ratings, NC-17.
	We have TV-14 ratings.
	But this takes it to a whole new level.
	I didn't realize it was taking place.
	It could cause anxiety about rape, about gender.
	All this stuff now has to be disclaimed everywhere.
	Yeah, well, it doesn't have to be, does it?
	There's no law.
	Oh, not yet?
	Not yet, my friend.
	Yeah, well, there's a point there.
	Not yet.
	There was a guy giving a seminar on C-SPAN, and I can't remember who he was, but he was discussing the...
	In fact, maybe it's a guy I have a clip from, which I can play later.
	He was discussing how the schism in the Democrat-Republican party is splitting further and further apart as one party moves more left and one moves more right, and there's nobody in the middle on either party now.
	And there's a basic tenet that is the difference between what one party wants and what the other one wants and what these things represent.
	And I'll just tell you two things on each side.
	The Republicans, as today's conservative Republican, their two main causes are freedom and liberty.
	Right.
	Which is reasonable.
	But the Democrats who don't care about either one of those, their two are justice and equality.
	And this trigger warning thing is on that side of the ledger, as far as I can tell, because it's definitely not freedom and liberty.
	Freedom and liberty, you can just do whatever you should be able to not have to do that.
	So there's this article I found from a university professor who says, now, if you're a content provider or distributor, your courtesy of providing trigger warnings need not be limited to vague rating systems.
	If the title or description of the work does not already heavily imply troubling content, nor is backed up by a rating system or an age gate, oh, God, Then make a short, explicit warning beforehand.
	If the content is online, use content warnings liberally.
	The Internet is a place where anyone in the world can stumble upon the work you publish without even looking for it and could not possibly be prepared for your material if you did not give a reasonable warning.
	And this relates to mental stress disorders.
	Hmm.
	I think we need a trigger warning.
	The word for this is coddling.
	I think we need a trigger warning on this show.
	Yeah, we do.
	But a really good one.
	Maybe one of our producers can dream something up that is in line with the way they're presented and frightening.
	And based on our other theories, if we make the trigger warnings really frightening...
	We'll get a bigger audience.
	You'll get a bigger audience, yeah.
	It's like the smoking may cause cancer on the packages.
	We know that that makes people buy it more easily.
	They love that.
	People love danger.
	I love danger.
	I love the danger.
	I think danger's got to be incorporated in our trigger warning.
	Of course.
	And may cause anal leakage, I think, would be a fun one to put on.
	I don't know what it is, but it won't.
	Okay.
	We don't want to lie.
	Well, there's something that I thought we needed to revisit briefly, since it's back in the news, and we've pretty much deconstructed exactly what is going on.
	The president came out yesterday and said, no support for the Keystone XL pipeline.
	Now...
	A lot of people somehow have bought into the idea that this is related to dirty oil and climate change and we're all going to die from this pipeline.
	But it might be interesting to point out that since 2010, in the United States, we've laid down about 10 keystone pipelines in pipeline length.
	I think there's over 2 million miles of pipeline, gas and oil pipeline, in the United States, which no one has ever complained about.
	So before I play this little clip, which I think the president was truthful, surprise, we need to revisit exactly why the Keystone XL pipeline cannot come into play under a Democratic White House.
	Which is where you say...
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	You're the one that came up with it and I love it.
	I did?
	Yeah.
	I don't remember.
	Warren Buffett.
	Oh, right.
	Yeah, the trains.
	Trains, good, planes, bad.
	Let's keep that oil on the rails.
	That's right.
	By the way, Bill Gates benefits too.
	Bill Gates also.
	Yeah, the Gates Foundation invests in it, don't they?
	He's got the Canadian side.
	Oh, he's got the Canadian side.
	He's got the Canadian side.
	So it's Burlington Northern.
	And if you look at these trains that are coming from the Scandinavia, they are filled with oil.
	We know that farmers can barely ship their grain out because there's just no spot.
	It's all oil, oil, oil.
	So Warren Buffett...
	Right, the oil refiners call them pipelines on wheels, I think.
	And so we have two huge Democratic Party supporters, Warren Buffett, although I still have...
	I put question marks next to him, but okay, let's just say that he's a Democrat.
	And Bill Gates.
	Yeah.
	And so here's the president telling the truth about shutting this thing down.
	Several years ago, the State Department began a review process for the proposed construction of a pipeline that would carry Canadian crude oil through our heartland to ports in the Gulf of Mexico and out into the world market.
	This morning, Secretary Kerry informed me that after...
	I like that Secretary Kerry's problem now.
	It's not the president, no, it's the State Department.
	Extensive public outreach and consultation with other cabinet agencies, the State Department has decided that the Keystone XL pipeline would not serve the national interests of the United States.
	I agree.
	He's not lying.
	It does not serve the interests of Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, i.e., the interests of the United States.
	He's not saying it'll ruin the earth.
	He's not saying, you know, some furry animal will die.
	No, he says it will not serve the national interests of the United States.
	And that's true because we have, you know, a big deal going on with these trains shipping the oil.
	I agree with that decision.
	All right.
	Let me briefly comment on some of the reasons why the State Department rejected this pipeline.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	First, the pipeline would not make a meaningful long-term contribution to our economy.
	So, if Congress is serious about wanting to create jobs...
	Oh, wait a minute.
	We're using this...
	Oh, it's timed perfectly with this huge new jobs report that we got.
	Now I understand why the timing is set like this.
	I thought the State Department was more involved in foreign affairs than the Department of the Interior.
	It has nothing to do with the State Department, and the next 40 seconds is only about how great the jobs report was.
	This was not the way to do it.
	If they want to do it, what we should be doing is passing a bipartisan infrastructure plan that in the short term could create more than 30 times as many jobs per year as the pipeline would, and in the long run would benefit our economy and our workers for decades to come.
	Our business has created 268,000 new jobs last month.
	They've created 13.5 million new jobs over the past 68 straight months.
	He just goes on and on, and there's nothing about climate change in this.
	No, that was the analysts.
	Yeah.
	Take on it.
	Democracy now take on it.
	And the ninny's take on it would be climate change when in fact, you're right, this is all about the rails.
	People have invested in these new rail cars too.
	This is like a lot of capital expense and they need to put oil in those cars.
	Yeah.
	So anyway, when this comes up in conversation, you can just slip that in.
	The President said it's not in our national interest, and he's right, because all of the oil currently comes all the way down.
	I see them go through Austin all the time.
	Yeah, they go past my house, too.
	Yeah, and it's just oil.
	And it's Bill Gates, who has the Scandinavian part of the rail, and it's Warren Buffett, who has Burlington Northern.
	You know, I think I heard Trudeau say Scandinavia.
	No.
	Yes.
	No.
	I'm not joking.
	Do you have a clip?
	I remember hearing it.
	I don't remember clipping it.
	I think I may have it still someplace.
	I'll have to dig it up.
	That's great.
	I can't believe you didn't have that.
	No, it was Canadia.
	That's what he said.
	Oh, well, good enough.
	It said Canadia.
	Does anyone ever say Canadia in Canada?
	I doubt it.
	It wasn't Canadia, it was Canadia.
	Do you want to just stick on...
	I know we haven't opened with climate change in a while.
	If you don't mind.
	We can wait.
	There's just so much...
	This will be our life until the end of the year because we have Paris coming up.
	The onslaught is full.
	Okay, is it a long segment?
	I don't have any.
	The problem, I don't have any climate change clips.
	Well, first, let's open up the gate.
	To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gate.
	All right.
	A couple things I think will interest you.
	So first, the report that we brought to you.
	When did we do this?
	Did we do this on Thursday?
	Or maybe it was even a week ago about the most recent ploy to get everyone to buy into what's going on in Paris.
	It starts this week, I think.
	The IPCC, of course, we all have to be worried about climate change.
	I hadn't had this in a report yet, but CNN, of course, is happy to do it.
	There are so many different things that can dampen your sex drive.
	You're tired, you have a headache, the kids are bugging you.
	And now, here's another one to add to the list.
	Global warming.
	That's right, climate change can kill your mojo.
	So researchers looked at really hot days and then looked forward nine months, and what they found is fewer babies were born nine months after those hot days.
	They defined really hot days as being over 80 degrees.
	Those hot days made couples feel, well, maybe not so hot.
	The impact was pretty sizable.
	In the United States, they found that the impact of one hot day meant 1,100 fewer births nine months later.
	I find it fascinating that they're combining this, because the study really was just about, hey, when it's warm, people don't seem to have as much sex.
	Okay, gee, never knew about this, but then just tie it into climate change.
	It's fascinating.
	Now I think they've made a huge blunder.
	Hold on.
	When you look at the whole United States, we have about 30 days a year where the temperature climbs above 80.
	However, as global warming takes its toll, it's predicted that we could have 90 days a year where the temperature climbs that high.
	That could mean eventually in the United States, 100,000 fewer births every year.
	And because of global warming, it's just getting hotter.
	And once the weather cooled off, couples did get back to coupling, but still it didn't make up for the decreases during the hot months.
	So it turns out global warming is not just bad for our oceans and our crops, it's also bad for our sex lives.
	Who are the editors at that place?
	Let's go over two items.
	Okay, it's CNN first.
	CNN. One, it's kind of counterintuitive, not counterintuitive, counterproductive for the left warmists to promote this because they're also promoting the lowering of the population control.
	Thus, climate change should be good because it creates population control.
	That is indeed a dichotomy.
	That makes no sense.
	Makes no sense.
	Then the other thing is the logic.
	How is this true?
	And what would happen with these Muslims all going into Europe?
	Because they're already considered overpopulating their area.
	They have so many births.
	These Muslims' babies are cranking them out like there's no tomorrow.
	How does that work?
	It's warm there.
	It's 100th degree, 140 degrees at noon.
	And lest we forget, in fact we must remember that according to many academics, climate change is responsible for the problems in Syria.
	Exactly.
	And if you want to go back to the 70s when they were all worked up, which I always harp on, about the population growth in the world, they always were pointing the finger at Africa, which is generally hot.
	I'm looking for one of those clips where we're talking about where someone said...
	Maybe it was Bill Nye, actually, who said that.
	You remember that?
	You're like, oh, Syria.
	The problems in Syria started with climate change.
	Surely you remember this.
	I remember it now, yes.
	I don't know if it was Nye, but it was someone.
	It would be something he'd come up with.
	I don't know who's paying him, but it's a lot of money.
	Bill Nye?
	Yeah.
	Oh man, did you see his big show?
	No.
	Oh my goodness!
	Climate change is real!
	It's real!
	Alright, so this was...
	You'll recall that clip we played where he's on the psychiatrist's couch with Arnold Schwarzenegger and he's talking about climate change grief.
	Yeah.
	Okay, that was just a teaser for this 45-minute Nat Geo special called Bill Nye's Global Meltdown.
	Yeah, it was...
	Yeah.
	So I just pulled one clip, which is the solution part of the program.
	This was a 45 minutes without commercials.
	Kill all the humans.
	No, it's your favorite.
	Bargaining is the third stage of grief.
	It's that phase when we try to negotiate.
	Now remember, this is Bill Nye had climate grief, and so he had to go through the anger stage.
	I don't remember bargaining being part of the grief cycle.
	Let me look.
	No, I think it is.
	Bargaining?
	I don't know.
	Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is.
	It's the five stages.
	So the five stages are denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and then acceptance.
	So we're at the bargaining stage now.
	We're at stage three, according to Bill Nye.
	Grief.
	I was going to say this.
	Blah, blah, blah.
	I was going to say, this is a very creative, if nothing else, if not applicable, but it's a very creative idea for the dummies out there.
	I think it's extremely well done.
	That phase when we try to negotiate our way out of a crisis, thinking, if I just do this, maybe I can avoid the problem.
	What do you think is coming next, John?
	What kind of bargaining could we expect when it comes to fixing the problem?
	Well, the only true bargaining that's out there, which is not from the side of the normals, but from the warmest, is a cap and trade.
	That's a bargain.
	There's a lot of bargaining going on right now in big business over carbon emissions.
	Companies are being pressured to go greener, and that's a great thing.
	But in the short term, going greener costs money.
	There are setup costs involved in converting to cleaner renewable energy.
	So the titans of industry are looking for ways to profit from the green energy revolution.
	The one leading idea aimed at doing this is called cap and trade.
	It calls for large CO2 emitters to keep their emissions below a certain level, the cap, or face a hefty fine.
	To do this, they can either cut their emissions by embracing cleaner energy...
	Or offset their emissions by buying what are known as carbon credits, generated by projects that reduce carbon emissions.
	That's the trade.
	In principle, it's a great idea, and it's the centerpiece of many plans for climate change reduction.
	Yeah!
	Thanks, Bill.
	There you go.
	Cap and trade.
	How does it change anything?
	Well, the way I understand...
	I'll give you my understanding and then you can rip it apart because you're asking rhetorical questions.
	The idea is I'm polluting...
	But I like my polluting.
	Of course, because carbon pollution is what we're talking about.
	Not carbon dioxide, carbon pollution.
	I like polluting.
	I want to keep polluting.
	Now, of course, we're in a global system.
	So I go to Mombasa and I say, hey, you know, like you guys are planting some trees here.
	That's got to be worth it.
	We actually, I think at one point, John, years ago, you and I calculated What the value was in credits.
	Didn't we once have a carbon credit scheme that you and I had set up?
	We're going to be rich beyond our wildest dreams.
	Oh yeah, we're going to be rich.
	Eric was in on this and he was doing the research.
	I remember that.
	Because we tried to take over a forest up in the Pacific Northwest.
	Thinking that we could sell the carbon credits to the forest.
	Yes, we did this.
	What went wrong?
	Well, what went wrong was it's a scam.
	I think Eric probably...
	Eric's a billionaire.
	No, Eric found out that the whole thing's a scam.
	You can't get a seat on the trading table.
	You can't do that.
	You can't make the trade.
	You can't get the thing in the first place.
	The whole thing is nonsense.
	But that is what is going to be...
	That is the negotiation in Paris.
	All the poor countries are saying, hey, look, we've got all these great credits.
	We're just sitting around, not polluting.
	Yeah.
	Apparently, our people live in squalor, but we've got plenty of credits for you.
	So the basic question remains, and they get bought out by the credits, and this actually is going on.
	Oh, yeah.
	And the question remains, how does that change the CO2 loading in the atmosphere?
	How is CO2 actually reduced?
	Oh, I can tell you how.
	It's reduced by keeping the poor people poor by not having any industry and giving the money to the rich people in Africa to keep the poor people down.
	I don't see how it can go any other way.
	It's like you cannot have electricity.
	Now, I agree that that's going to happen, but that doesn't reduce the CO2. It just prevents the CO2 from going up.
	Yes.
	I don't have a clip per se, but that does seem to be the general direction of what I'm hearing.
	I'm hearing, well, look, look, we're at two degrees warming now.
	We can't even stop that.
	We're way beyond the 350 parts per million of 350.org.
	We haven't died yet, strangely.
	I have not been engulfed by an ocean yet, but if we do something now, right now, maybe in Paris would be an interesting place to do something right now, then we can still go to the hair, go see Pierre, get my hair done, then we can still have an effect.
	Junkets.
	So, a new UN report underscores...
	Let me read this for you.
	Where did this come from?
	This is where I... The Washington Post, of course.
	New UN report underscores the grim math behind the global carbon budget.
	With less than a month to go until the all-important UN Climate Change Conference in Paris, yet another key report has reinforced how off-target the world is from the goal of limiting warming to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
	And it finds that 1.5 degrees Celsius, a target embraced by many developing nations, would require even Earth's Earlier and much stronger action.
	They're calling it the emissions gap.
	So we have to, we need more action.
	Stronger, faster, quicker than ever before.
	When the ocean rises just this much, this whole area won't be underwater.
	We're all gonna die.
	That's what you gotta get your heads around.
	And then finally CBS Evening News had an interesting report.
	Well this was also the day that government scientists said 14 of the last extreme weather events were made worse by climate change.
	I love this.
	How the hell are you going to prove this one?
	Caused by pollution.
	Pollution.
	All right.
	Carbon.
	That was big on science.
	They don't know what scientific method is.
	That is not a provable fact.
	No.
	Examples cited included the 2014 California wildfires and cyclones in Hawaii.
	Cyclones!
	Write that down.
	Cyclones in Hawaii!
	Cyclones in Hawaii.
	Cyclones in Hawaii.
	The study found that in 2014, extreme heat waves like the one that gripped South Korea were made worse by human-caused climate change.
	Things such as car emissions, burning coal and methane gas.
	The report studied 28 extreme weather events around the world last year.
	14 of those, including devastating floods in Australia and New Zealand, were found to be made worse in part by climate change.
	Devastating.
	But the impact of human activity can be complex, the report says.
	This is the fourth year scientists have studied whether human activity is at least partially to blame for extreme weather things such as droughts and wildfires.
	And over those years, Scott, more than half of the extreme weather events they've studied have been linked to human-caused climate change.
	So what I've been doing now that...
	Wow.
	Yeah, well, check this out.
	So what I've been doing since I've expanded my drive, and we're going to talk about that in tech news, I've got some thoughts...
	So I have the archive, the searchable archive of our clips has become a little more searchable.
	And I'm just going to go back and maybe every show I'll try and bring up one of these segments.
	This one, I didn't have to go back that far.
	This is 2014.
	This is Joy Reid from MSNBC when we had a very, very cold winter.
	You recall it was, this I think may have even been around the time when the...
	When did the...
	It was a whole bunch of CEOs who went to Washington, D.C., and there was a blizzard, and they were there to talk about the effects of climate change.
	You remember that?
	We have a number of these.
	It's like when they had the thing in Holland, and it was snowing on a...
	There's some cosmic humor involved.
	I'm not sure who...
	I just want to pull out these reports from time to time.
	So now we know that of the past 14 severe weather events, climate change made them worse.
	And if bad weather is just a result of global warming and climate change.
	This is what we've been taught, even though in 2014...
	And in a 2010 survey, more than a quarter of TV meteorologists called global warming a scam.
	But here's the thing.
	Global warming is not a weather forecast.
	And there's a big difference between climate and weather.
	For the record, Webster's Dictionary defines weather as the state of the air and atmosphere at a particular time and place.
	For example, rain, snow, cloudiness, whatever's happening outside your window right now.
	On the other hand, climate is defined as the average of weather conditions, including temperature, wind, and precipitation, that occurs over a period of years.
	So let me repeat.
	Climate is the average course of weather over a period of years.
	So when we talk about global warming, we're talking about the conditions of Earth's atmosphere over a long period of time.
	We're not talking about the weather outside.
	Confused?
	Yeah!
	We'll know that there are people and interests who want you to be confused.
	Oh!
	In part because of the political opposition to making the changes that would curb greenhouse gases and global warming.
	Think big oil, big coal, and other fossil fuel industries.
	There are people who cultivate global warming denialism.
	Yeah, that's right.
	So, I don't know.
	This is the funniest moment.
	I just don't think we're ever going to experience anything so humorous.
	Well, I have a lot of these.
	Yeah.
	I'm sure we do a whole show.
	Well, you know, there's another thing.
	I was looking at all of these clips that we have, and we could put together a dynamite climate change show just based on clips.
	You put a techno beat to that, and you got a hit.
	Well, maybe not.
	You're giving me an idea.
	Uh-huh, uh-huh.
	I'll send you the archives.
	I know exactly what you're thinking.
	Anyway, someone did send it.
	Actually, this is one of the few times I found something on the No Agenda Reddit that I really enjoyed in regards to Bill Nye.
	You actually look at that.
	Yeah, I do.
	It's your beat now.
	You've got it.
	It has an RSS feed.
	So whenever someone posts something like, These guys are full of crap!
	They don't know what they're talking about!
	This is lame!
	I can't believe they missed that!
	Wow!
	This is so crazy!
	You know it's the Jews!
	Okay, so that's kind of the Reddit.
	That's exactly what they sound like.
	That's the Reddit.
	But someone did post a quote from Zbigniew Brzezinski from his book, Between Two Ages, America's Role in the Technotronic Era.
	Technotronic Era.
	You're making it up.
	I should probably read it like Brzezinski does.
	In the technotronic society, the trend would seem to be towards the aggregation of the individual support of millions of uncoordinated citizens, easily within the reach of magnetic and attractive personalities, exploiting the latest communication techniques to manipulate emotions and control reason.
	There you go.
	I never thought we'd have Zbigniew Brzezinski and Bill Nye in the same topic.
	And that's exactly what's going on.
	He said...
	In the Technotronic Society, the trend would seem to be towards the aggregation of the individual support of millions of uncoordinated citizens, easily within reach of magnetic and attractive personalities exploiting the latest communication techniques to manipulate emotions and control reason.
	That would explain some of the high numbers that some of the YouTube people get who are just screaming to a small camera.
	Oh, totally!
	Totally!
	And...
	You've got something going on and you need a distraction called Clooney.
	Woo!
	Called Clooney.
	So that's the high end.
	The high end is...
	The high end.
	This is good.
	This is good.
	I'm liking this.
	Mm-hmm.
	And I think it's dead on, and you can see it everywhere, looking around.
	It actually began with television.
	Yep.
	And it's just gotten worse.
	It has not improved.
	There's no reversing the trend, I'm afraid.
	Where is Ted Kaczynski's new book?
	I've been waiting for it.
	It's going to take a while to get it done.
	They're going to edit it.
	They promised it would be coming out.
	It would be promised.
	Well, what's your rush?
	And then Bill Gates.
	I've had this in the show notes for, oh my goodness, the past two and a half weeks.
	It hasn't come up.
	Bill Gates.
	Headline.
	Bill Gates, the only socialism can change us from climate change.
	What did he say?
	He says only socialism, yes, can save us.
	Bernie fan then.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So Bill's all in on this.
	Of course he hasn't...
	Well, I think the interesting thing here is that it has to be socialism.
	And of course he's talking about a world's...
	Why?
	Bill Gates.
	Does he explain why?
	No.
	Well, maybe.
	But, you know, it's like we all have to come together kumbaya and we all have to be in on it and we all have to share.
	You know, that's the idea.
	Again, this harkens back to the Democrats being on the justice and equality side of the ledger, which is socialism.
	Socialism is pretty much about justice, supposed justice, of course, and equality.
	So women must get the same pay for doing a man's job.
	If it was a man's job they were doing, it's fine.
	Women should get more money for a lot of the stuff they do.
	But this idea of, well, aggregate, women don't get as much money as men, well, yeah, that's true.
	Hispanics don't get as much money as whites in that regard.
	Aggregate.
	Same with blacks.
	So what are you going to do about it?
	They need to have better jobs.
	Yeah, I think what Gates is saying, the New World Order in general, which is, it's real.
	The ideas behind it are real.
	The words have been used many times.
	It's real.
	Make a world socialist government.
	The Pope is all in on this.
	He's a socialist, Jesuit, socialist.
	Totally.
	Yeah.
	The EU is socialist.
	Everything needs to be socialist, and then we can control everybody.
	It's all about control.
	But it's really happening.
	Well, it's happening pretty slowly, in my opinion.
	Yeah.
	I mean, it's not barreling along.
	We don't have people marching, goose-stepping in the streets.
	Not yet.
	That's when it happens.
	Let me see.
	Did you see Trump last night?
	I have it recorded.
	I'm going to analyze it later, but I did read all the reviews.
	And...
	I have the overnights.
	Let me see.
	The overnights are in.
	Let's see.
	That's what I'm interested in.
	Okay, overnights.
	6.6 share.
	That is pretty big for that time of night.
	I'm going to say...
	Night show.
	Yeah, I'm going to say that is probably...
	Now, they don't have huge ratings to start with, but a 6.6 share.
	We don't know the whole evening.
	You can get the overnights from last week.
	Okay, hold on.
	Well, there's something here.
	According to Nielsen, last night's telecast averaged 6.6 rating.
	Oh, 16 share.
	The 6.6 rating, 16 shares.
	That's going to be about 8 million people, I'm just guessing.
	I think it's more.
	8 or 9.
	Here.
	Nielsen will issue total viewer estimates for Saturday's telecast later this week, but it figures to be around 9 million based on the overnight.
	It's 9 million.
	Huh.
	And the top rating so far was 7.5 million viewers when Chris Rock hosted and Prince was the musical guest.
	Well, I'll tell you, the Chris Rock Prince show was a hell of a lot better.
	I watched it last night.
	What a dud.
	It was boring.
	Well, I knew it was going to be a dud.
	Yeah, it was boring.
	It's not going to do anything offbeat.
	They do have a...
	The equal time thing in play, it's not the fairness doctrine, but there is an equal time regulation that the FCC has.
	But is that still being enforced?
	I don't think that's being enforced.
	It is?
	In this case.
	I thought the same thing, so I looked it up.
	Okay.
	The concept here, when I went to communications school in West Virginia for all three months, I learned in those three months, the equal time rule is if you have, as an example, a Democrat on for five minutes, as a news organization, you need to have a Republican on for an additional five minutes.
	And if they're going to reinstate this and start policing this, then we should also go back to giving climate deniers equal time.
	Because that has been, you know, it's like, oh, sweep that under the rug.
	There's a couple things that need to be clarified.
	The fairness doctrine, which is the one you're actually kind of describing, is not the same.
	The equal time ruling applies only to entertainment shows.
	It does not apply to news.
	No news show, including...
	Only entertainment.
	I didn't know that.
	Well, that's this.
	You're still thinking, because when you were being trained, I believe the fairness doctrine was still in play, and that overrode everything.
	And so that meant news shows, everything.
	If there was a guy on and he was on for five minutes, the other guy had to be on for five minutes.
	And that's done.
	And when that ended, that's when Rush Limbaugh decided to do a show and he became a millionaire.
	Okay, right.
	So there's a difference between the equal time rule and the fairness doctrine.
	Right.
	The equal time rule only applies to entertainment shows, does not apply to any news shows.
	Thus, ABC News, and I have my examples here, can spend almost, I only have about two and a half minutes of this nonsense, but it went on for five or six minutes.
	The ABC Nightly News with David Muir slam of Ben Carson.
	Right, the takedown?
	Yeah, you want to play that?
	Yeah.
	Good evening, and it's great to have you with us here on a Friday night.
	And we begin with the firestorm over Dr.
	Ben Carson.
	Firestorm!
	And offered a scholarship to West Point.
	Tonight, he is now explaining himself.
	Of course, several national polls now showing Carson at the top of the Republican field.
	And with that comes increasing scrutiny.
	Carson's campaign saying about his story of getting a scholarship, maybe the words were inaccurate, but they maintain Carson was told he would gain acceptance.
	Tonight we ask West Point how the process works.
	Before we go there, let me just read to you the equal time rule.
	Just because I looked it up.
	The equal time rule, it is a rule, specifies U.S. radio and television broadcast stations must provide an equivalent opportunity to any opposing political candidates who request it.
	That's interesting.
	That's right.
	I forgot that.
	It has to be requested.
	This means, for example, that if a station gives one free minute to a candidate in prime time, it must do the same for another candidate who requests it.
	The equal time rule was created because the FCC thought stations could easily manipulate outcome of elections by presenting just one point of view and excluding other candidates.
	Well, let me finish.
	Let me finish.
	It should not be confused with the now defunct fairness doctrine, which dealt with presenting balanced viewpoints on points of view on matters of public importance.
	There are four exceptions to the equal time rule is what you were talking about.
	If the airing was within a documentary, bona fide news interview, scheduled newscast or an on the spot news event, the equal time rule does not apply.
	So everything else, it applies.
	There's a little thing you said earlier that I didn't notice when I was looking this up.
	The words prime time.
	Yes, in prime time.
	That would not apply to Saturday Night Live.
	It's not prime time.
	Wow, good one.
	Go away.
	But I would have to read the actual regulation, because that's Wikipedia.
	Who the hell knows what that means?
	The primetime thing is questionable.
	Okay, let's continue with your Ben Carson.
	I have some stuff on that as well.
	Tom Yamas on Carson's explanation, and on Donald Trump, who pounced on this, and quickly.
	Tonight, Dr.
	Ben Carson forced to explain himself after accusations that part of his life story don't add up.
	Carson has repeatedly said he was offered a scholarship to West Point as recently as a month ago on PBS. I was offered a full scholarship to West Point, got to meet General Westmoreland, go to Congressional Medal of Honor dinners.
	The West Point scholarship was something he's written about in his books.
	Carson's campaign confirming tonight to ABC News that not only was he never admitted to West Point, he never even applied.
	And about that scholarship?
	Telling us, maybe the words are inaccurate, but that as a top ROTC student in Detroit, Carson was told he would gain acceptance by West Point officials, and that was in effect getting a scholarship because nobody pays a dime.
	West Point says they can't confirm or deny whether he was ever told that, but they did say the admissions process is a multi-step process.
	A verbal offer of admission alone would never be enough to guarantee entry.
	Tonight, Carson responded to the accusations.
	I never said I got a scholarship.
	I had people who said yes that I could get a scholarship to West Point and I told them that I wasn't interested, that I was going to pursue medicine.
	This latest revelation as Carson is under fire for other alleged discrepancies about his story.
	For example, that he was violent when he was young.
	And at age 14 another teenager angered me and I had a large camping knife.
	And I tried to stay with the Edmund.
	And fortunately, under his clothing, he had on a large metal belt buckle.
	And a knife blade struck with such force that it broke.
	And he fled in terror.
	Carson has said that's when he rejected anger and started to give his life to God.
	And he's now lashing out at the media for questioning his claims.
	This is a bunch of lies.
	This is what it is.
	It's a bunch of lies attempting, you know, to say that I'm lying about my history.
	I think it's pathetic.
	One of his rivals seizing on the controversy.
	Donald Trump, in rehearsals today for his appearance on SNL this weekend, slamming Carson on social media.
	Retweeting a news story and adding, wow, one of many lies by Ben Carson.
	Big story.
	Before you go into analysis, I want to just replay the ISO of what Carson said.
	This is the Carson Scholarship ISO. Hold on a second.
	It was stuck in that report, but it fell by the wayside the way the report was presented.
	Okay, here we go.
	I was offered a full scholarship to West Point, got to meet General Westmoreland, go to Congressional Medal of Honor dinners.
	Wait a minute.
	What the hell did he say?
	Let me listen to that again.
	I was offered a full scholarship to West Point.
	Got to meet General Westmoreland.
	Go to Congressional Medal at our dinners.
	Okay, he met the general.
	He got an offer to go to West Point.
	He went to Congressional Medal at our dinners.
	Offered a scholarship.
	Right.
	Which, of course, is bullcrap because, you know, it's free.
	But still.
	I saw the week.
	ISO of the week.
	What I thought was more interesting about this...
	Now, of course, what's happening here is we have the phony baloney polls, which are underwritten by the news organizations themselves, putting Trump and Carson very close together because we need drama.
	That's all that they do is create drama.
	Of course.
	And the...
	Actually, this morning...
	In relation to this, but also the pyramid story, which I want to do in a moment.
	Here's Chuck Todd.
	And what does Chuck do?
	Is it meet the knuckleheads?
	Meet the press.
	Press the meat?
	Wash your hands after handling red meat?
	Wash your hands and press the meat.
	His candidacy is built on his personal story, his personal success, his...
	Honest and trustworthiness.
	And if it starts coming apart, if the personal story isn't what he has said it is, in some form or another, then it can unravel more than it would for a traditional politician.
	You know, we're conditioned to assume regular politicians embellish things.
	Yeah.
	Ben Carson was supposed to be different, and that's why I think it's more of a danger to him than it would be, frankly, to maybe anybody else in this field, simply because of how his candidacy has been built and why so many voters have been gravitating toward him.
	It's the honesty factor that has been his strength.
	Well, then let's go and ruin that.
	Of course.
	That's how you do it.
	I love the story about it because, you know, it's a perfect storm they've created.
	So he lied.
	Well, you know, I'm pretty sure that the general said, hey, you know, I'll hook up with the scholarship.
	That seems feasible.
	He never said he went through the process.
	Well, he said...
	When West Point came back in that report, of course, don't forget that report was designed to slam him because ABC is still promoting Jeff Bush.
	I have a clip to prove it, but I don't want to...
	Hold on to that.
	Hold on.
	But they're out to...
	Try to get these other guys out of the way.
	They've tried a couple of shots at Trump.
	They're not good at it.
	But they've nailed this guy.
	And that piece, the word stopped, it went on for another two and a half minutes.
	This was most of the news show.
	Well, this is what they do.
	We need controversy.
	Controversy.
	We have controversy.
	But my favorite...
	Is calling the guy out as a religious kook.
	I love that.
	That's my favorite thing to do.
	It's like, whatever you do, we all have to be fair.
	Everybody, let everybody live the way they are.
	But you're a religious kook, you crazy, crazy kook.
	Crazy nutty job.
	Alright, here's the commencement speech.
	The relevant piece, Ben Carson, in 1998, about the pyramids.
	Oh, great.
	Yeah, hold on.
	Where are you?
	He presented his theory of why ancient Egyptians built the pyramids.
	My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids in order to store grain.
	Now, all the archaeologists think that they were made for the pharaoh's graves.
	But, you know, it would have to be something awfully big.
	You stop and think about it.
	I don't think it would just disappear over the course of time to store that much grain.
	And when you look at the way the pyramids are made, With many chambers that are hermetically sealed, they would have to be that way for a reason.
	And, you know, various scientists have said, well, you know, there were alien beings that came down and they had special knowledge and that's how they were.
	It's a cool day when my theory about aliens creating the pyramids is less crazy than Ben's.
	This is great.
	You know, it doesn't require an alien being when God is with you.
	There you go.
	Carson was speaking there at Andrews University.
	By the way, I don't know why this alien thing keeps cropping up because to this day, in fact, there was one special on this.
	To this day, they can build those pyramids with the biggest stones that they want.
	They have this technology of doing this.
	It's not a conventional type of scaffolding, but it...
	They showed some Egyptians building a small pyramid, and how it was done is still a known technology.
	Okay.
	Fine.
	It's not like aliens had to lift these rocks.
	So we're back to the science versus religion, which isn't even brought up.
	I mean, the Joseph and the food, this is from Genesis 41-48, Joseph collected all the food produced in those seven years, the seven years of famine, the seven years of abundance, in Egypt, stored it in the cities, and each city he put the food grown in the fields surrounding it.
	Thus Joseph stored up grain in great abundance, like the sand of the sea, until he stopped measuring it, for it was beyond measure.
	Now, this is just an opinion.
	No one can really prove exactly why they were built.
	We just don't have that.
	No one was there.
	But from a religious standpoint, the guy's entitled to that opinion.
	I don't mind the opinion.
	It's the way he presents it.
	You'd think that some archaeologist would find some chunks of grain or something left over or whatever.
	Right, okay, and I'm okay with that.
	But he's never presented this theory before.
	That's okay.
	No, I think this theory, well, I don't know if no one's presented it.
	I've never heard it.
	Well, I went looking for the Bible relationship, and that's where I come up with Genesis.
	And that's my personal opinion, what the pyramids were for.
	Fine.
	But I don't like.
	It's not American to say, you crazy, crazy, religious nutjob.
	I don't like that.
	I just don't like it.
	And the Democrats do this all the time.
	Especially with a party that is all in for justice and equality.
	We should have a trigger warning on the Bible.
	Caution, may cause...
	I don't know what...
	May cause extreme...
	Biblical references, avoid.
	May cause extreme Obama botanists.
	Oh, man.
	Hmm.
	So someone came up with Hillaryite.
	Yeah, I kind of like that one.
	I thought that was reasonable.
	Yeah.
	Alright, so Ben Carson's, you know, it's just his turn.
	They'll find something else on Trump.
	No, he's done.
	He is the...
	No, no, no.
	I don't think he's done yet.
	He's the Herman Cain of this round.
	You know, then it's also racist.
	Totally racist.
	They're trying to get the black Republicans out.
	It's totally racist.
	Oh, man.
	What a country.
	A whole nother year of this?
	Really?
	Really?
	Yeah, well, it's a good thing for the No Agenda show.
	I don't know what people would do without us.
	I did find a piece on Michelle Bachman.
	It was on the radio recently.
	No, but I'm always trying to figure out why.
	You're a big fan of hers.
	Yeah, I am.
	I've always thought she's cute.
	She's pretty.
	Yeah, she's pretty.
	She's kind of the super MILF thing about her, which I like.
	Although, you know, she does a lot of work to cover up her neck with high collars and everything, which is a trick, you know.
	She's old.
	Well, I don't want to be ageous, but yeah, you get wrinkled and it's not nice.
	Women don't like that.
	But I think she does it well.
	I don't know about her husband.
	He seems like a kook.
	But I've always wondered why did these Christian Republicans, why are they always out to save Israel?
	And in a minute of radio time, she really helped me understand.
	This week really was about biblical prophecy in many ways.
	And we're seeing that as events are speeding up, it seems like events are speeding up so quickly right now, and we see how relevant the Bible is, and we're reading our newspaper at the same time.
	We're learning about these biblical events, and it's literally day by day by day we're seeing the fulfillment of Scripture right in front of our eyes, even while we're on the ground.
	The takeaway is that the Jewish state of Israel truly is a miracle of the hand of God.
	This is a fulfillment of God's word.
	The prophets long to see the days that you and I live in.
	We've been able to walk not just and observe 2,000 years ago with Jesus and 4,000 years ago from the time of Abram.
	We literally are trotting on the soil that the prophet spoke of into the future thousands of years ago.
	We recognize the shortness of the hour and that's why we as a remnant want to be faithful in these days.
	And do what it is that the Holy Spirit is speaking to each one of us to be faithful in the kingdom and to help bring in as many as we can.
	Even among the Jews, share Jesus Christ with everyone that we possibly can.
	Because again, He's coming soon.
	Global warming.
	He's coming soon.
	This is the end of times, folks.
	She's one of them.
	The dominionists is something you should really look into if you want to have some fun.
	Okay.
	But they all look at that part of the world as where the end of time...
	That's where Armageddon is.
	It's like a neighborhood in one of these places.
	Yeah.
	And they expect...
	It's a Sodom and Gomorrah, but...
	That's still there.
	Yeah.
	I need to go visit there.
	And they have a lot of belief that this...
	And this, by the way, could go back 100 years and you'd have the same number of people saying the same sort of thing.
	Yeah.
	Which is that we're at the end of time.
	We're all going to die.
	Yeah.
	And it's the end of the world.
	Revelations.
	Revelations.
	Yeah.
	It's ridiculous.
	But that's where it's coming from.
	That's where the Israel stuff is coming from.
	I think a lot of it is.
	I don't think all of it.
	Okay, well...
	Yes.
	I think a lot of it, a lot of it.
	I've always kind of wondered, okay, I get it, because that's the Holy Land.
	It's for the Christians, it's not for the Jews.
	Or are we just lucky that the Jews are protecting it?
	I don't know.
	I think all three religions make some claim to the area, and I don't know.
	One thing I know for sure, we'll get a lot of emails.
	I think there will have been a better, or the Christians as a whole would have been better off if the book of Revelations was never put in the Bible when it was decided to drop it in.
	They took a lot of books out.
	I mean, the book of Enoch, the book of Jubilee, those are actually more entertaining than anything.
	And there's a whole bunch of other ones.
	And they made this edit at some point.
	I think it was in the 400s or something like that.
	And they said, well, they can't put this in there.
	They're going to think we're crazy.
	They're talking about flying saucers, really.
	But they left the book of Revelations in, and it's been troublesome ever since.
	Every club needs something to be afraid of.
	Every club.
	Whether it's a rival motorcycle gang, whether it's the Denias.
	Or the Bilderbergers.
	They're scared to death of Alex Jones.
	Or Alex Jones scared to death of them.
	We don't know.
	It's hard to tell.
	Yeah.
	Just going back to the equal time rule, there is no specification about it being a primetime show.
	I'm looking at the you look at the real at the U.S. code.
	However, it is in order to be a candidate to meet the requirements of the time.
	In the case of a television broadcast at the end of such broadcast, there has to appear simultaneously for a period of no less than four seconds.
	A clearly identifiable photographic or similar image of the candidate and a clearly readable printed statement identifying the candidate and stating that the candidate has approved the broadcast and the candidates authorized committee paid for the broadcast.
	That's for paid stuff.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	No, that is the eligibility of a...
	Oh, so in other words, if you have...
	Yes, here you go.
	If I just say, hey, I'm a candidate, it's okay, but if I haven't bought airtime, then I have no standing.
	You have to spend the money.
	Yeah, that's the way I read it.
	This is like when you get a fictitious business license in most of the country, or fictitious business name, to do business.
	Like if you're going to be the Adam Curry Consulting, your name's Adam Curry.
	You should be able to just set that up.
	No, no.
	You have to file a document with your local...
	That says you, Adam Curry, are Adam Curry Consulting.
	And then you have to post that in one of the local newspapers, which is just a complete scam as far as I'm concerned.
	You know, I'm reading this and I'm almost...
	You can read this in a way that almost says it only applies for political advertising.
	Like you can't refuse an ad.
	That's almost what I think this is saying.
	I'm going to have to look at it.
	If a candidate for federal office or any other authorized committee of such candidate makes a reference described in subparagraph A, which is during the 45 days preceding the date of a primary runoff election, the lowest unit...
	Oh, yeah, this is all about unit charges.
	John, this is interesting.
	We'll have to look at this.
	I want to go through this, you know, take a little time, but the way I'm reading this...
	The equal time rule really only applies to paid programming.
	Which doesn't sound right, but...
	No, it doesn't sound right.
	Maybe there's something else.
	There's another...
	Well, I'm going to keep looking at this.
	There might be another write-up someplace.
	As professional broadcasters, we should know this stuff.
	I mean, you have a license, don't you?
	You have your FCC license.
	I have my old third-class phone.
	I have my radio class license.
	My broadcaster license.
	I have my ham license and I have two licenses.
	I'm doubly licensed.
	I don't think the third class phone works anymore.
	Fabulous.
	Alright, well I have a little entremant here before we thank some people.
	I got the biggest kick out of News Night or whatever that thing is called.
	News Hour.
	News Hour on BBC. They had this guy named David Rifkin.
	I was thinking we could do a little play that was resembling this.
	Okay.
	This is my favorite.
	This is David Rifkin, who is one of the spokesholes for the government or a government attorney or something.
	And he's on the screen with this guy who was one of the detainees at...
	Gitmo.
	Gitmo, yeah.
	And they just released some guy after being there 15, 16 years, and there were no charges.
	They let him go.
	He went to England, and this is another one of those guys, even though he wasn't there as long.
	And they're talking about Gitmo and how it's a terrible place, and they should shut it down like they're trying to do.
	And they used torture there.
	And this guy, this Rifkin character, no.
	Everything is, no, no, they never did that.
	No, it was like living at the Hilton.
	Who are you kidding?
	And it's just, it is just hilarious.
	It was chaos at the Sharm el-Sheikh airport today.
	Britain's ambassador to Egypt tried to reassure anxious travelers to little...
	Sorry?
	You should be playing David Rifkin.
	I'm so sorry.
	That's what I thought.
	Okay, got it.
	British authorities supported U.S. authorities and what they were doing to inmates in Guantanamo.
	I would be amazed.
	First of all, I have no factual knowledge of what transpired in any particular time, but I would be amazed, based upon everything I know, that anybody was mistreated in Guantanamo or anything that involved British officials.
	But let me just say one thing.
	Wait, wait.
	You're saying nobody was tortured?
	You're saying nobody was tortured in Guantanamo Bay?
	Nobody was tortured in Guantanamo Bay.
	There can be debates about what happened with CIA. Have you completely missed the CIA Senate report on torture?
	Have you been living in a different world completely?
	Even the United States is missing the torture took place.
	Obama, why did he order the closure of Guantanamo?
	Nobody is alleged.
	Nobody is alleged.
	Is this the news?
	Is this the interviewer?
	No, that British-voiced guy is one of the ex-Gitmo guys.
	Oh, okay, okay.
	To end torture.
	The girl is the interviewer.
	Gotcha.
	Because he accepted that torture existed.
	Waterboarding took place.
	These things didn't happen.
	The only place where they didn't happen was in your brain.
	Waterboarding took place at Guantanamo.
	President Obama got this wrong, did he?
	President Obama misspoke or misunderstood?
	What do you think?
	President Obama was referring to enhanced interrogation at so-called CIA black sites.
	That's a totally different issue of what happened in Guantanamo.
	Nobody's alleged that there was any mistreatment in Guantanamo.
	But look, nobody's alleged that...
	I think everybody, every single prisoner and American soldiers who served there...
	Are they confusing it with Albu Greib?
	No, no.
	Including some prosecutors, American prosecutors, like Matt Diaz, who'd resigned from the military commission's process, said that torture was taking place.
	That is rubbish.
	In Guantanamo, that is total rubbish.
	You had Captain James Yee who said that torture was taking place.
	You've got numerous people who served in Guantanamo who said torture took place.
	What do you think Guantanamo achieved, David Rivkin?
	Guantanamo has been harshly criticized and we paid a price for it.
	I understand that.
	But Guantanamo symbolizes that this is a real war against an implacable enemy, which if we do not win, is going to cost us dearly.
	This is not a criminal justice exercise.
	And I'm afraid that a vast majority of our European friends just don't get it.
	Then why were over 670 prisoners, including myself, released?
	If we were so dangerous, why are we free men?
	That doesn't make any sense at all.
	You see, you made the big mistake.
	You called us the worst of the worst, you called us terrorists, you called us all sorts of things, without any legal process at all, without any evidentiary process at all, and in the end of it, what you're left with is a place that is a stain on the United States of America.
	No, 20% of the people went back to fighting.
	We've got to end it there.
	Thank you very much indeed.
	Thanks for coming in.
	What exactly went down there?
	It was strange.
	I just thought this guy was great.
	It was, that's rubbish.
	That's nonsense.
	There's no proof of this.
	Okay.
	You're making it up.
	I'm not making it up, but you're making it up.
	No, you're mixing it up.
	You got the wrong place.
	I thought it was the best I've ever heard.
	And he was implacable.
	And is it true?
	What?
	Is it true?
	Is what true?
	What he said.
	What the guy said about torture taking place at Guantanamo?
	Yeah.
	As far as everyone reports, especially not so much now.
	Who is this Rifkin guy?
	We've got to find out who he is.
	I know.
	I used to hire him.
	Well, with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C. Dvorak!
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Kareem.
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Kareem.
	In the morning to you, ships at 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 chat room, NoAgendaStream.com.
	Good to see you all up in arms, ready to rock and roll today.
	In the morning, to our artists, who we can always find at NoAgendaArtGenerator.com.
	We have to thank PewDiePie.
	And no, I'm pretty sure it's not the PewDiePie who is the YouTube star.
	But we don't know.
	These are anonymous submissions or under a handle.
	It doesn't do art.
	Right.
	Well, this was the IPCC Bible Art for Episode 771, and we highly appreciate that.
	And all the submissions that come in to knowitartgenerator.com.
	And we want to thank everyone who stepped up today and helped us out after our poor showing on Thursday.
	Yeah, it was dreadful.
	But we do have a few people to thank for this showing, which is quite good.
	Sir Dwayne Melanson leaves the list.
	He's the Duke of the Pacific Northwest in Tigard, Oregon.
	Or Tigard, I guess.
	$9.99.
	He needs a penny, I guess, and can knight somebody himself.
	There we go.
	There it is.
	Well, he'll become...
	He's a Duke.
	He's already a Duke.
	He's got a...
	He's going for Archduke.
	ITM from the Duke of the Pacific Northwest.
	Here's a line of nines for you.
	A line of nines.
	A line of nines.
	I like that.
	A line of nines.
	I encourage others to follow suit.
	Let's propagate the formulas.
	The right thing to do.
	And I request let's get social at the end of the show.
	Oh, I could play a short version of it for now.
	Just a quickie.
	Let's get social!
	Let's get social media!
	Woo!
	Oh, man.
	Give it up, Mary McCoy!
	Mary McCoy!
	Give it up!
	Woo!
	I'll play it again at the end.
	Give Sir Dwayne his car.
	Look at that.
	You've got karma.
	Okay, so we have a $777 donation from Jarfala, Sweden.
	Who?
	Jarfala.
	Slight note.
	He says, I hope I paid enough to have the entire note read.
	This is important for listeners to be aware of.
	We read all the notes over $200.
	We read all the notes to ourselves, but for time, anything over $200.
	Yeah, we read all the notes, but for time on the show, we only read the $200 notes because otherwise we'd be here all day.
	And generally, not all of them are as long as this note.
	But this note is actually worth reading because it's kind of interesting.
	I liked it, yeah.
	It's about the migration thing.
	So this is actually a boots-on-the-ground report.
	Let me inform you about the migration situation in Sweden.
	Sweden is ruled by a kind of minority coalition headed by the Social Democrats and the Environmental Party, which gets 31% response, 6.9% of votes in the 2014 election.
	They essentially have support from all other represented parties except the right-wing Sweden Democrat Party for the single purpose of to avoid having to cooperate with the right-wingers, which now have the 20 to 25%.
	Because they're crazy racists.
	Crazy racists.
	Crazy.
	This lays the foundation, so to speak.
	Swedish media is controlled to 80% by the environmental party.
	This applies to both the press and the state television.
	Polarization through the limiting the inflow of migrants.
	Oops, sorry.
	Polarization through the media.
	Conversation.
	Conversation.
	Has almost made it a criminal offense to even discuss...
	It's almost a criminal offense to discuss limiting the inflow of immigrants.
	Shut up, slave!
	Our borders are completely open.
	At the moment, the environmental party, which now has support of far less than 4% of the voters, is holding the country hostage.
	The rolling seven-day weekly coverage of inflowing refugees...
	Average, average, average of inflowing.
	The seven-day weekly average of inflowing refugees is roughly 9,000 and increasing registered persons.
	Official estimations of unregistered persons is equally large.
	Oh, man.
	So this is registered and unregistered coming in.
	They do not want to impose any limitations on this inflow.
	Official reference for the numbers, and he's got some links to which we'll put in the show notes, I would hope.
	This looks like pretty good stuff.
	Sweden has a population of 10 million.
	USA has 318 million.
	How would you in the US handle 280 to 570,000 immigrants weekly?
	Put them into Texas.
	Wyoming.
	And increasing.
	Lots of land in Wyoming.
	There you go.
	The environmental party suggests that migrants simply move into your home and you get $200 a month in compensation.
	It's like an Airbnb.
	20% of the migrants are children without parents.
	The currency is paid to private companies to take care of those children, some of which need to shave every day.
	The children?
	Yeah.
	What he's saying is people are full of crap.
	Yeah, man, I'm like 12.
	Wait a minute.
	The current fee paid to private companies to take care of those children, some of which need to shave, is roughly $10,000 a month?
	Yeah.
	For what?
	For one child?
	I don't know.
	Damn.
	I guess.
	There's some scam going on here.
	Due to the large numbers of five, we would say.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I'm a child.
	Yeah, you get some 30-year-old guy.
	No, listen.
	You should go over there, get citizenship, and then claim myself as a migrant.
	Yeah.
	$10,000 a month.
	Hey, now.
	That's good.
	That's a good deal.
	That's actually ridiculous.
	There's something wrong with this description.
	This can't be true.
	Due to the large numbers of fires, roughly 10 in the last month, in privately leased migrant residential locations, the government decided to keep those locations secret.
	Anyway, that's where the note ended.
	I read the whole note, but it ended.
	I want another report.
	I have a report from Deutschland coming up about migrants.
	And some other interesting bits.
	So we'll do that right after we thank our execs.
	This is World War III. We're watching it unfold.
	It is a very unique version of a war.
	You know what?
	Why don't I just play this one little clip?
	Okay.
	Since we're here, this is...
	Congressman Rohrabacher on the refugee crisis, and this was this past week.
	Earlier this week, the United Nations announced that 218,000 migrants crossed the Mediterranean Sea to Europe just last month.
	That is more than were recorded in all of 2014.
	It is expected that around a million asylum seekers of all origins will reach Germany in this year alone.
	Germany and the EU are deeply divided about how to stem the flow of migrants and what to do with those who have already entered.
	Clearly, what we have seen over the past few months is unsustainable and, if not checked, will change the fundamental nature of European countries, which are now being inundated.
	What we are witnessing is the destruction of Western civilization, not by an armed invasion, but instead through envelopment.
	The effects of this will not soon disappear, but instead could well turn out to be an historic change in the nature of many European countries.
	Yeah, and I looked up envelopment.
	I thought that was a cool word.
	It is a military term.
	The military tactic of seizing objectives in the enemy's rear with the goal of destroying specific enemy forces and denying them ability to withdraw, rather attacking the enemy head-on.
	And envelopment seeks to exploit the enemy's flanks, attacking them from multiple directions and avoiding where their defenses are strongest.
	Dynamite.
	I think he's right.
	I'm no fan of Rohrabacher, but I'm not a fan of him either, but he's nailed it.
	Spot on.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Here we go.
	Back to work.
	Yes.
	Simon Woodhead in somewhere.
	I can't pronounce.
	This is like, this has got to be in Wales somewhere.
	Let me see.
	Because it's port-the-ry-ro-d, land-ro-ro, with a bunch of consonants all strong together.
	Port-haired?
	Port-haired?
	Port-haired.
	That looks like Wales to me.
	Well, it's in Londra.
	Is that Wales?
	Sounds like it to me.
	But you know what my flight instructor told me in the UK? What?
	He says, yeah, it's West Wales, La Ronda.
	He says, if you have engine failure with your aircraft, you do anything you can, even if you're on fire, you do not land in Wales.
	What do they do to you?
	I don't know.
	Hopefully Simon can enlighten us.
	There's some bigotry going on against the Welsh.
	Well, there's always been bigotry against the Welsh.
	They have the most beautiful women on the islands.
	And we really know nothing about the Welsh.
	$670.
	Except that.
	Which is good.
	I don't have a note.
	Do you have a note from Patrick?
	I have the note.
	He's the one that's going to be a knight.
	Sir Woody.
	Okay.
	I'm ashamed to say it, but in three years, in 1.5, after three years, in 1.5, new human resources, since I last donated, it was an episode of show 440.
	Damn.
	I haven't been able to listen to as many shows recently, but every time I do, I'm enlightened by your stunning analysis.
	Thanks for all the subscription folks who keep you on the air whilst douches like me get organized.
	If I can give you some advice, it would be to do more with your emails.
	Maybe do more emails.
	Maybe include the content from the shows.
	We do that from time to time.
	Once in a while.
	I only listen to the show while driving and having to remember to donate, which of course I don't.
	I got your email tonight.
	It caught my attention more than usual and here we are.
	I suspect I'm not alone and you have a lot of latent donors who just need a push outside of the show.
	Easier said than done, I know.
	I wanted particularly to thank you for the UK focus in the last show.
	I also loved your joining of the early dots over the Egyptian plane crash.
	We have a little more on that today.
	I had noticed it was an Airbus and how a few days later China announced a huge order for them.
	But your take was more coherent and chimes with the overly rapid denouncement of foul play we have over here.
	With this donation, I think I made it to Knighthood.
	I'd like to be known as Sir Woody.
	Okay.
	There you go.
	He says, keep up the awesome work, and please send some karma to the silent subscribers who keep you going, and I'd love a whooping Obama for me, please.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I didn't know that was coming.
	Of course not.
	Whoop it, whoop it, whoop it, whoop it?
	Whoop it?
	Yeah, whoop it.
	Why can't I find the whoop it?
	What is that?
	That's Manning, right?
	Yeah, Manning.
	Okay, hold on.
	Whoop it, whoop it, whoop it?
	Whoop it with the Constitution.
	Yeah, I got it.
	Whoop it with Obama's ass.
	Now get out there and whoop Obama's behind.
	Whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin' with a prostitution.
	I hate it now.
	Whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin' with a prostitution.
	Whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin', whoopin' with a prostitution. Whoopin', whoopin', whoopin' all of them behind.
	A prostitution.
	Whoopin'.
	Patrick Seymour in Clayton, Ohio.
	$567.88.
	He says he has nothing clever to say.
	Send the jingle request to Adam since PayPal likes to cut people off.
	He sent you the jingle.
	Yeah, I got it.
	I like Charlie Rose, sexuality DNA, JCD, how to put out fires, and George Stephanopoulos, wash your hands, handling raw meat.
	All lewd.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I don't know where that one...
	I know what he's talking about with the fire.
	I can't find that one, so we'll do these.
	Tell me about the sexuality.
	It's in your DNA. And wash your hands after touching any raw meat.
	And the karma for you.
	You've got karma.
	Thank you.
	Now we have a strange encoded message from Sir David Julian in Morgan Hill, California.
	Oh, yes, yes.
	That's where all the rich guys are.
	500 bucks.
	Blue Puck Fire Hydrant Turban 3-3 NSDQ. Note for the show.
	No donation note to be read.
	That was it.
	He says he repeats himself.
	Blue Puck Fire Hydrant Turban 3-3 NSDQ. That is all.
	Keep up the great work.
	Kisses.
	Sir Julian.
	You've got karma.
	You've got karma.
	NSDQ. Night Stalkers don't quit.
	I know that, but...
	That's the 160th Special Ops NSDQ. Oh, okay.
	He's doing something.
	I'm glad he's on our side.
	Sir Jim Spitzer of Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts.
	3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
	Yes.
	So may I be called Sir Jim, Earl of Suffolk County and surrounding plantations.
	Count the money was already taken masterfully by Harvey Korman in the History of the World, Part 1.
	A little two-minute sorbet from Mel Brooks if you're inclined.
	Best wishes to you both.
	And he's got a clip there, I guess.
	Yeah.
	Do you want me to play that?
	If you can.
	I don't know if you can.
	I can do that.
	Hold on.
	Let me just go to the sound and pop that.
	Yeah, I think I can do it.
	Let's see.
	Boom.
	And here we go.
	It's from History of the World, Part 1.
	Count the money. Count the money. Count the money. Count the money. Count the money.
	I didn't know that was from the history of the world.
	The count of money.
	Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
	Okay, I'll put it in the show notes.
	It kind of misses something without the video.
	Kevin McLaughlin, Locust, North Carolina, 33333.
	Congratulations.
	I do want to thank Sir Jim.
	Congratulations on Soch772.
	Thank you for eight-plus years of dedication to media deconstruction and sharing your knowledge and perspective with the world, hoping this stack of threes will bring the show good karma.
	Not sure when I started listening to the show.
	It was, however, due to a plug by JCD. At the time, I formally requested a de-douching.
	Went for years without donating to any podcasters, and your show playing the donation segments began to irritate me.
	So, man overboard, then there have been times where my personal life or the weight of the world's current affairs would have caused me to once again give up man overboard.
	Man overboard!
	Man overboard twice.
	Ignorance can truly be bliss for a few years, weeks, and reality sets in.
	I choose knowledge, still working my way towards knighthood.
	To all the no-agenda producers, thank you for your courage and support this show for the jingles.
	He needs to fuck cancer karma for all.
	May God bless you.
	What a God!
	You've got karma.
	Thank you, sir.
	Bless your family, too, my friend.
	Alex Zoglin in Lake Forest, Illinois, 333.
	Oh, he launched it!
	Launched my latest rocket, the Airstream of Consciousness.
	Video can be seen at...
	You can put a link in the show?
	Yeah, hold on.
	Let me take a look at it right now.
	Mylevel3.wordpress.com Oh, man!
	This thing is huge!
	For your information, these are not military surplus, all built from scratch, including the rocket propellant.
	He made his own rocket fuel.
	And listen to this.
	The video has...
	He shows it...
	Oh, he's setting it up?
	This is great.
	Okay, here comes the launch.
	Here comes the launch.
	And three, two...
	Oh, my God!
	The only podcast with a rocket launch...
	I mean, you can tell me anything you want.
	But this shows one thing.
	Go podcasting!
	All right.
	You got to see that.
	That's great.
	MyLevel3Numeral3.wordpress.com.
	Genius!
	Thank you so much.
	I was looking up rocket propellant recently to see what some of the new ones they were dreaming up.
	They got for these new rockets because they're scrambling in the United States to develop some rocket engines because of the Russians not being able to sell it.
	Yeah, we don't have our engines, right.
	Yeah, we use Russian material because it's the best engine you can buy, apparently.
	Yeah.
	IntelliArmor, LLC in Bend, Oregon, 333.
	Thank you both for your bravery and outstanding product.
	Your pals at IntelliArmor.com.
	Matthew Januszewski in Chicago, Illinois, 333.
	He has no note.
	I could find no reference to a note.
	And if he has something to tell...
	I looked...
	David Best in Miamisburg, Ohio, $250.
	Longtime 12 donor, but I want that knighthood by my 33rd birthday next month.
	ITM. This opportunity should not be ignored, as always.
	I only wish to hear Lord Dvorak's call for obedience.
	I'm sorry, that's Chris.
	No.
	Well, he's run together on this spreadsheet of mine.
	He just wants to, okay, so that was, David Best ends with winning the knighthood.
	The next donor is Chris in Austin, $222, and he says...
	Ooh, nice lip smack.
	Sorry?
	Nice lip smack.
	You should know.
	Yeah, I know.
	That's why.
	I'm John and Adam.
	I'm down to want to show.
	As always, I want to thank you for...
	I never used to do it, by the way.
	Actually, I did.
	Somebody pointed out we both did it.
	In fact, that's when the guy...
	Yeah, I used to do it all the time.
	Sorry.
	As always, I want to...
	In retrospect, I'm sorry.
	It's okay.
	As always, I want to thank you for an outstanding product.
	I've felt guilty about not donating for a while.
	I recently flew in a 777 to Osaka Airport.
	Code ITM. Is that the airport code?
	Osaka's airport code?
	I don't know.
	Look at the airport code.
	It says it was an opportunity that could not be ignored.
	As always, I only wish to hear Lord Dvorak's call for obedience, Sir Chris.
	Well, it is true.
	The Osaka International Airport is...
	ICAO code is ITM. Actually, that's not the ICAO code.
	That's the routing code.
	Yeah, it's a World Airport code.
	Nice!
	Love it!
	You've got karma.
	No, we need to fly there now.
	That's where we should have our retreat passes and put them on there.
	Tweet them.
	Tweet your boarding pass.
	Tweet your boarding pass.
	Yes.
	Tweet the boarding pass.
	And make sure you get chair 33.
	I see 33 on the ITM. On a 777.
	Beautiful.
	It makes it even better.
	He's a 777, ITM, 33.
	It's beautiful.
	Or seat 33.
	Row 33 seat.
	ABCD. I don't know which one you'd want.
	Sir Chris Spears.
	That was Chris.
	Let's go to Danny Baker in Morristown, Tennessee.
	$200.
	No note from Danny.
	And Mike Gallimore, also no note from Newmarket, Ontario.
	Another $200.
	And that concludes our group of producers and executive producers.
	A fine group of exciting people.
	I want to remind you, we do have a show coming up on Thursday, and we have to reset, and so let's start with another group of talent.
	I'm just, I'm seeing...
	I do see a note from Mike, I think.
	Oh, that was about our donation page.
	Yeah, I think you should look at the donation page.
	No, I don't know what to say.
	Yes, he's helpful.
	He's helpful, that's for sure.
	I will look at that.
	Send me and forward it to me.
	Before, I did.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you for your courage.
	And I would like to thank...
	Now, who was our friend who sent us the lanterns?
	Oh, yes!
	The No Agenda Lanterns?
	The Lantern Man.
	Man, these are just dynamite.
	Very well made.
	I got the hippie lantern.
	So this is...
	I got a hippie lantern, too.
	I thought he had a different one designed for you.
	I sent a picture.
	Did you see the picture?
	Well, I couldn't.
	Also on email.
	It's a picture of you.
	Yeah, with the lantern next to me.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, he says...
	So he's selling these online.
	And he's giving a portion of the stuff from my head studio.
	So stuff from my head dot com and a number of interesting products there.
	But I thought the lamp was really beautiful.
	It's handcrafted.
	Is that mahogany on top?
	You have a mahogany top?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	Have you plugged it in?
	Oh, yeah.
	Where is it?
	It's in the front room.
	The top on mine has a star pattern.
	Oh, so it beams a star.
	I have just a round circle which beams a star gate.
	Don't go in it.
	I want to thank all of our executive producers and associate executive producers.
	These credits are real, and you deserve them.
	There's a big help today, and I really appreciate that.
	We really appreciate it.
	And these credits can be used anywhere that credits are recognized.
	Don't worry.
	It's just like Hollywood.
	Everything just is valid.
	Put them on your LinkedIn.
	It seems to work very well.
	And for everybody else who wants to help out, please go out there and propagate our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Amen.
	Shut up.
	Wait.
	Shut up.
	Wait.
	Yes.
	But let me just do one more thing here about we had the refugees.
	You know, it's my latest obsession.
	Let us see how things are going at the Austrian border, the border between Slovenia and Austria.
	Austria, of course, just one more country to walk through.
	I just say, hey, kids, only one more country to walk through.
	Hey, stop your crying, you.
	Yeah, I know you're cold.
	Shut up.
	It's only one more country.
	This takes, uh, are we there yet?
	Thousands gather at the border between Slovenia and Austria.
	Many have gone without food and water, waiting hours, hoping to cross into Austria.
	They do what they can, building fires for warmth after Austrian authorities temporarily blocked migrants when they ran out of emergency shelters to house them.
	One o'clock we are here.
	They said you can come, go to Austria really easily.
	But they closed the border and it's very hard for us because it's cold.
	Nobody jumping, nobody jumping, nobody jumping.
	Tensions rise, with Austrian police saying an average of 5,000 to 6,000 people are crossing into the country a day.
	Some have little left but hope.
	Sounds like fun!
	A little less than hope.
	And now that these routes, once through Greece and through the Balkans, that they have become problematic, we have a new route.
	Have you received the new routing, John?
	No, I did not get the memo.
	The routing is through Norway, from Russia into Norway, and then, of course, from Norway, you want to go down.
	What?
	Yes, but there is...
	How do you get to Norway?
	Norway's not even anywhere near any of this.
	Well, let's listen to the report.
	We mean Norway's not near anything.
	What are you talking about?
	It's not near anything.
	Norway's out in the middle of nowhere.
	Yeah?
	But I don't see...
	How do you walk to Norway from Egypt?
	Or from, I'm sorry, from Syria?
	Well...
	Let me take a look.
	I'm going to play this clip for you because that'll help.
	But, you know...
	I guess people are...
	I mean, obviously you can get to Norway from Russia.
	I mean, you know, that's connected.
	It's connected landmass.
	That's Finland you're thinking of.
	Yeah, but you can get to Norway!
	You have to go through Finland.
	Yeah, it depends if you go all the way up north.
	Well, let's play the different outlook at the map, too.
	Another day, another way for migrants and refugees trying to reach Europe.
	The latest route, crossing a remote border from Russia into Norway, which, despite its unusual rules, is now attracting crowds in their thousands.
	It is not allowed to walk on foot in the Russian border.
	But that has resulted in refugees buying a bicycle on the Russian side of the border, then cycling or wobbling over the border using the Russian...
	Okay, let me just...
	Just hold on a second.
	I see this, what they're talking about.
	This is above the Arctic.
	Yes!
	It's way up there!
	You can't get up there!
	You can't get up there.
	There's no walkway from Russia to Norway.
	There's this little area where the very top of Norway, which is damn near in the North Pole, touches a little piece of Russia.
	If you look at the video...
	How do you get through Russia?
	Oh, you have to go on a bicycle.
	That's what they just said.
	You can't take a bicycle in these parts.
	Well, all I'm telling you is they're showing me a video...
	Of people in the snow on bicycles at the Norwegian border.
	It's a little border station and people are lining up.
	I find this to be ridiculous.
	This is somebody's idea of a joke at this report.
	There is nobody from Syria that is...
	You can't even get up to it.
	They don't have enough warm clothes.
	Let us also say that no one in this report said they were from Syria.
	They're Eskimos.
	Well, let's see.
	I'm sorry, let's get the right, I think.
	They're Laplanders.
	So, if you fly to Mormonsk, which you can fly to, Mormonsk is not off the map.
	These people are flying up to Mormonsk.
	Because you can get that flight.
	Mormonsk, how many miles is that to that little border up there at the top?
	Well, it's less than walking through Austria.
	No, it's not.
	Okay, well, okay, well, man, okay.
	This is 20 miles, okay, so it's 2040.
	It's about 100 miles to the border from Mormont.
	Through the snow.
	On a bicycle.
	The German army couldn't do this.
	Oh, man, I thought it was a great report.
	I'm going to finish it.
	...eckling or wobbling over the border.
	Using the Russian border allows Syrian refugees to avoid the perilous Mediterranean boat crossing.
	Apparently this is not perilous.
	Syrian refugees, hello.
	Yeah, you're right, said it right there, you're right.
	It's cheaper than paying human traffickers as well as legal with a visa.
	But a trickle of refugees thinking outside the box has turned into a flood and a fresh challenge for Norway, a country bordering Sweden, currently battling problems with anti-refugee sentiment amongst the general public.
	For now, Norway is within the reach of anyone with money for a flight to Moscow, a train ticket, and a bike.
	This freezing border is still more hospitable than a winter trip across the Med.
	Where did the train go to?
	What did she say?
	You go to Moscow, and then a train?
	To where?
	And then you take a...
	Well, play it again.
	Play it again.
	So you get the route down.
	Yeah.
	You know, we should try this route just for the hell of it.
	Sweden currently battling problems with anti-refugee sentiment amongst the general public.
	For now, Norway is within the reach of anyone with money for a flight to Moscow, a train ticket, and a bike.
	This freezing border is still more hospitable than a winter trip across the Med.
	I still don't know where they're taking the train to.
	Well, maybe.
	I mean, I don't know if there's a train that runs to Murmansk.
	You fly to Moscow.
	I don't think there's any way to get to Murmansk from the Middle East.
	We have Titovka.
	Titovka.
	Titovka train.
	Where's all our Russian people?
	Geez.
	We haven't done this in life.
	Railway tickets to Titovka.
	Yeah, okay.
	First you gotta buy a bike.
	No, no, no.
	You buy the bike when you're up there.
	In Russia?
	Yeah.
	So I'm gonna have a Russian bike.
	They have video of these people on bikes.
	Huge, by the way.
	Big bolts.
	No, they're more like Schwinn banana bikes.
	I'm not kidding.
	Sounds right.
	Well, we need more information on this for sure.
	This is bull crap.
	I don't think so.
	Oh, yeah.
	Come on.
	Look at this part of the world.
	I have been in northern Finland, which is way up there, and I haven't been this far north because you'd have to really be nuts.
	It is just snowed in.
	Well, let's see.
	The current weather at Titovka, which is...
	Oh, go with Mermans.
	Get the weather there.
	That's more like it.
	Okay, I have it here, Mermans.
	Even though that's south.
	It's not that bad.
	What are we in?
	It's above freezing right now.
	Oh!
	Yeah.
	Well, that's good.
	And at the end of November, December, it will be minus 5 to minus 9 degrees.
	Centigrade.
	Centigrade, yes.
	So, you may not like it, but I think it's happening.
	There's nothing up there either.
	You could cross the border.
	Now you've got real problems.
	Where are you going to go?
	What towns are in that part of Norway?
	Well...
	Let's take a look at the map.
	I'm going to zoom in.
	Yeah, we have...
	Okay, so there's a couple of hick places.
	I mean, I can't even...
	Okay, there's a town.
	Yeah.
	There's a couple of towns.
	Yeah, I'll bet you those places are fantastic.
	Yeah.
	You know what?
	Maybe this is...
	We have a Norwegian knight.
	I know what's going on.
	It's easy.
	Hey, I know how to get rid of him.
	Tell him there's a route up north and let him freeze in the snow and die.
	Well, that element's in play.
	Well, let me see.
	We have...
	Okay.
	There's a train from St.
	Petersburg to Murmansk.
	Just in.
	Okay, well, you're on your way, you have to pedal 100 miles in the snow.
	Yeah.
	What's worse, walking thousands of miles through the mud or pedaling a little bit through the snow?
	Yeah.
	This whole thing is Merkel's fault.
	Well, yeah.
	And everybody in Germany knows it.
	Everybody in Europe knows it.
	Which brings me to Philip from Germany.
	Hey, John and Adam, Philip from Germany here.
	I'd like to offer some perspective on the refugee crisis and Germany's efforts to deal with the migrants.
	I work 100 meters from a camp as a dude named Ben slash designer.
	There are also some that are opening up near where I live.
	I talked to a doctor and people who work for the companies building the camps.
	In the recent years, Germany increasingly didn't have enough housing.
	One theory is that Merkel is building these houses now with EU money with the plan to use these houses as cheap housing for students of universities or low-income families once the refugees leave.
	There are already plans to build permanent housing, and the German economy seems to be thriving with all these contracts for construction companies and others.
	Oh yeah, sure.
	With EU money.
	Perfect.
	I think it's a good plan and really hope most people will be leaving the country rather soon.
	Yeah, good luck.
	Mental luck.
	Many of these economic refugees, quotes, refugees, are entitled.
	Don't respect the property of others or the goods that are given to them for help.
	Groups are ganging up on police, shitting in doorways so nobody will come in.
	Female helpers in the camps are not allowed to use the toilet without an escort since too many of them have been raped.
	They also started destroying camps until the organizers threatened to turn off the Wi-Fi hotspots.
	Oh yeah.
	If you want to calm a population down, turn off the Wi-Fi.
	That's great.
	Cleaning companies are...
	They don't have toilets, but they got Wi-Fi hotspots.
	This isn't great.
	Cleaning companies are refusing to clean these camps because the conditions are unbearable.
	There's disease.
	They were trying to enter a military base in a neighboring town, so they had to ship them off somewhere else.
	They walk on country roads in the dark.
	Police cannot deal with other crime anymore since they're always dealing with refugee-related issues.
	And all the organizing parties in different levels of the government are not talking to each other, which only furthers the chaos that has already ensued.
	Hoping this report is of interest to you.
	Yes.
	Oh yeah.
	Thank you.
	More like this, please.
	Yeah, we need more boots on the ground giving us the...
	Of course, it's always going to come from a perspective, even though that doesn't sound like it in that note.
	But I think we're going to get notes from a perspective of deep anger.
	Yeah.
	Now, it's happening everywhere.
	Yeah.
	So Rohrabacher is right.
	Except in Hungary.
	The only smart money seems to let them run the place.
	Yeah, Hungary.
	Yeah.
	And of course, don't get blamed for everything.
	Oh, you Hungarians, you're not team players.
	So, Hungary, Viktor Orban, who was the Prime Minister of Hungary, has a bill on the table, which is a legal challenge to the European Union's migrant relocation quota scheme.
	If approved, the bill would oblige the government to challenge the scheme in EU courts in a bid to have it annulled.
	Yeah, Hungary is all over that.
	No, we don't want this.
	This guy, Orban, he's already been a pain in the ass.
	Didn't they do a bank run on him?
	A while back when he started to make noise.
	He may have.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	He's definitely not a team.
	He's not a team player.
	Well, which brings us to...
	Where in the world is...
	Victoria Kagan Noodleman.
	Woo, everybody!
	Where was she just recently?
	She was in...
	Romania!
	We need to have a...
	And she was in Romania!
	Romania is on fire right now.
	Looks like we got it.
	Why did they let this woman show up?
	She promises cookies.
	What is it called?
	A roadie when the guy goes to front, when you go early, the...
	Rodeo clown?
	No, well that.
	I'm sorry, a rock and roll roadie.
	The ones that go early to set up, you know, to just sight check.
	I don't know, just rodeo.
	There's a name for this person.
	That's what she is.
	She goes and she does a sight check, sets up shop.
	Bakes some cookies, getting ready.
	Yeah, this is a problem.
	Now, what happened, this is an interesting color revolution, which I think is taking place.
	It was something about the students.
	Hold on, where do I have this?
	Oh, I don't know why.
	Let's see, Romaine.
	And they're asking for the government to resign.
	This is, I think, you know, this is the part where one of our Bibles of the show is the Confessions of an Economic Hitman.
	This is, I think the book is null and void now.
	I think this is the kind of way we do things.
	This is the new way to do it, yeah.
	It's a new way to do it.
	You bring, you got this hit, you got a different kind of a reverse process.
	Let me play this.
	Top people, top men, go right in, right at the beginning, and you kind of announce what you're going to do, and then you do it.
	So this is how they do it.
	This is what happened, why this is happening.
	Back on the streets of Bucharest for a fourth night running.
	Having already brought down a government this week, thousands of Romanians are saying no to more of the same and demanding a root and bran shake-up of a political class they claim is rife with corruption.
	University Square was again the center of their protest.
	We're here to show them we don't want things to continue the same way, for some politicians to leave and then the same to come back.
	A lot of professional signs in this protest, John.
	A lot of professionally printed signs.
	It's always interesting to see that.
	We don't want the same lies.
	We will not be tricked by one or two resignations.
	The problem is that the square, the street, cannot be represented through a few people.
	President Johannes and the political figure should come here and speak to the people.
	Romania's president, Klaus Johannes, has said he'll meet protesters on the ground.
	He's appointed an interim prime minister to replace Victor Ponta, facing trial for corruption, who quit amid the demonstrations triggered by a deadly nightclub fire.
	Civil societies represented in ongoing talks, but many protesters are tired of talking and want early elections.
	This is fascinating.
	So we had this nightclub fire and somehow that got spun into we hate the government.
	This is good work.
	This is good work.
	We have people, top men, that know how to do this sort of thing.
	Well, I'd say top women.
	Well, top women.
	But top men is what you want to say.
	There in the world is Victoria Kagan Noodleman.
	Woo!
	Well, you know, I found Victoria Kagan Noodleman on Capitol Hill.
	She's back from her little whirlwind tour there at the Balkans.
	Trying to break them up again.
	Woo!
	Good work.
	And she was talking to the Foreign Relations Committee on the Hill.
	I figured it might be fun to listen to a couple of bits of what she had to say.
	I'm sure it's fascinating.
	Yeah, it is.
	Here's a background.
	This, of course, is about Russia.
	And where are we here?
	While Moscow asserts that its military actions are directed at ISIL, the vast majority of Russian airstrikes are targeted in areas where the Assad regime has lost territory to forces led by the moderate opposition.
	Hama, Homs, Aleppo, and Idlib.
	Oh.
	Now Russia's fielding its own artillery and other ground assets around Hama and Homs, greatly increasing Russia's own soldiers' vulnerability to counterattack.
	And Moscow has failed, as you said and as Assistant Secretary Patterson said, to exact any humanitarian concessions from the Assad regime as the price for Russian support.
	The regime continues to barrel bomb its own citizens with impunity, Well, I haven't seen any evidence of this, but okay.
	Perhaps I've been emboldened by Moscow's help.
	None of this has been cost-free for Russia itself.
	In pure economic terms, the price of its air campaign is estimated at $2 to $4 million per day.
	This at a time when average Russians...
	Peanuts!
	Nothing.
	A couple million per day?
	This is nothing.
	This is nothing.
	But it's like, oh, how can Russia, stupid little crazy Russia, how can they handle a couple million a day?
	Are you kidding me?
	We're doing a billion a week.
	Per day.
	This at a time when average Russians are feeling the pinch of recession brought on by economic mismanagement, low oil prices, and sanctions applied for the Kremlin's last military adventure in Ukraine.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, they're all crying.
	I don't think so.
	I don't think so.
	Here's a little spiel about cooperating with the Russians and the future.
	We have limited our own military cooperation with Russia to the most basic of aviation deconfliction procedures.
	At least she characterizes deconfliction, correct?
	I like that.
	To protect our own air crews.
	What would positive cooperation by Russia look like?
	First, Russia would turn its guns on ISIL and stop the carnage in and around Syria's Western cities.
	This is interesting.
	What she's saying is Russia should turn around, go back the other way, and help kettle the kettle ISIS or whatever it is, and pretty much create the greater Kurdistan, which is what our mission has been all the time.
	And it is an about-face.
	Don't go towards Damascus.
	Go the other way, up towards the Turkish border where we're creating greater Kurdistan for the three-state solution.
	As the price of its support, Moscow would insist that Assad ground the helicopters and planes that he's using to barrel bomb innocents on a daily basis.
	How come I'm not...
	There's someone in the chat room named Khalif who's saying, Assad is definitely barrel bombing the Syrian people.
	Yeah, I don't know if it's Assad, quite honestly.
	And it would urgently work with us, our allies, and UN envoy Stefan de Mistura to turn the statement of principles that Secretary Kerry, Foreign Minister Lavrov, and 17 other ministers and institutions released in Vienna last Friday into a true ceasefire, a parallel political transition process, and hasten the day that Assad's bloody tenure comes to an end.
	The quality of our cooperation with Russia in Syria depends on the choices that Moscow makes.
	Okay, so now world peace is in Putin's hands apparently, but I love the last clip.
	Now we know that Victoria Nuland, nay, Nudelman, married to...
	Is she married to Fred or Robert?
	Robert Kagan, one of the architects of the Project for a New American Century, which at one point called for a new Pearl Harbor-type event, which was all written before 9-11.
	Just a coincidence, maybe.
	Maybe they're from the future.
	When she says, here's the plan, it is not her plan.
	It is the entire neoliberal, neocon, douchebag plan.
	27 seconds, pay attention.
	The only way we'd end up in a joint strategy is if the Russians agreed to the general premise that we have to have a ceasefire, we have to have a transitional government, and we have to have a decision on getting rid of Assad.
	That's what the Secretary's been working on.
	In the meantime, we're working on ISIS, and they're working in a different part of Syria to defend Assad.
	So I don't see working together militarily unless and until it's all efforts on a transition.
	It's all about the transition.
	They just want to get this guy out.
	You don't even need to put in.
	It doesn't matter who you put in.
	It'll create such chaos.
	They want to break it up.
	Rubble eyes.
	Rubble eyes.
	Thank you very much.
	Victoria Kagan Noodleman.
	Woo!
	Yeah.
	So the saber rattling, which is being blamed on Russia, is not coming from Russia.
	It is coming from the United States.
	And we'll need to talk about the aircraft.
	But first I have, let me see, Carter.
	This guy is dangerous.
	Oh, well, yeah.
	Before you do that, I want to play this clip because of the million dollars a day, which would be, what, $300 million a year, maybe, to be bombing the crap out of everybody.
	I want you to play that.
	Just for comparison purposes, I want you to play this stealth bomber clip.
	Got some numbers.
	The Defense Department, meanwhile, has awarded Northrop Grumman its biggest contract in more than a decade for the next generation long-range bomber.
	The announcement late today involves a potential 100 stealth bombers at a cost of up to $80 billion.
	Pentagon leaders.
	Yeah, it's beautiful.
	I think one of these bombers costs a million dollars a day to fly.
	This is crazy.
	We need a hundred long-range stealth bombers.
	And we just approved the National Defense Authorization Act, so now we can start placing orders.
	It's obvious.
	The money is there.
	It's all approved.
	We're good to go.
	The budget ceiling has been raised.
	We Americans are represented by a-holes.
	War-mongering, fighting, human-hating a-holes.
	Elitist suckers.
	Like this guy.
	They're not the suckers.
	There was a word that I swallowed.
	Here is Ashton Carter, our current Secretary of Defense.
	This guy is...
	Don't let his hand on the button, okay?
	This guy is a warmongering a-hole.
	Russia appears intent to play a spoiler by flouting these principles and the international community.
	Meanwhile, China is a rising power and growing more ambitious in its objectives and capabilities.
	And most disturbing, Moscow's nuclear saber rattling raises questions about Russia's leaders' commitment to strategic stability, their respect for norms against the use of nuclear weapons, and whether they respect the profound caution nuclear age leaders and whether they respect the profound caution nuclear age leaders showed with regard to the brandishing of nuclear weapons.
	We do not seek a cold, let alone a hot war with Russia.
	We do not seek to make Russia an enemy.
	But make no mistake, the United States will defend our interests and our allies, the principled international order, and the positive future it affords us all.
	How is getting rid of Assad defending our allies?
	I don't know.
	Israel.
	Just put Israel in there somewhere.
	Israel.
	I like this guy so much.
	We do not seek a cold, let alone a hot war with Russia.
	We do not seek to make Russia an enemy.
	But make no mistake, the United States will defend our interests and our allies, the principal international world, and the positive future will be for us all.
	Fear is freedom.
	Subjugation is liberation.
	Contradiction is truth.
	Those are the facts of this world.
	And you will all surrender to them, you pigs and human clones!
	That's right!
	Woo!
	Yeah!
	I think you should do the full treatment with that guy and slow him down.
	Slow him down?
	Okay.
	Yeah, I'll work on that.
	He's like really dragging along.
	He's already a slow talker, but it would sound really more ominous.
	I tried it.
	It didn't quite work, so I just did an extra kind of creepy.
	It doesn't work with everybody.
	That's why I think it works so well with the eight ball guy.
	He had cue ball.
	He had that arrogant British thing going, which is really nice.
	Yeah, well...
	Let me read the letter that I put in the...
	Just to give people some perspective on all this.
	The letter I got from Sir Shaker Maker, who'll be knighted later.
	Not quite sure yet.
	And this was in the newsletter.
	Hey, protectors of the truth, I've listened to you guys since episode 200.
	I discovered you on a random night wondering what the hell happened to the floppy-haired headbangers ball guy, a.k.a.
	the daily source code guru, a.k.a.
	the Podfather.
	On this momentous occasion of being ordained to the Protectorate of the Free Thinking Proletariat, I'd like to say some words.
	I worked in the UK for a government organization that Ed Snowball and your listeners know well.
	And then I added, this is probably GCHQ or MI6.
	Yeah.
	Probably GCHQ is my guess.
	I would say so, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Let me just say, with little exception, which is their version of the NSA, let me say, with little exception, that your analysis and viewpoint on world power hierarchy is spot on.
	I left said organization because it's run by lunatics.
	You were asked in an interview if you'd sacrifice your family for the good of the nation.
	If you would, enjoy your James Bond privileges.
	If, like me, you won't, enjoy scanning Facebook for crackpots.
	Wiping out some shittisons in a plain crust for the common good isn't even debatable.
	It's unquestionably moral to these douchebags.
	The higher up they are, the more loopy and crazy they are.
	That's why I quit.
	No Agenda is the only broadcast I've found that understands this reality and why, without a doubt, not only the best podcast in the universe, but the only source of truth in the universe, too.
	Never stop.
	Intelligence work takes place within a strong legal framework.
	We operate under the rule of law and are accountable for it.
	In some countries, secret intelligence is used to control their people.
	In ours it only exists to protect their freedoms.
	Protect their freedoms.
	Yeah, I like that.
	I like that he works for the douchebags over in Gitmo Nation East.
	Oh, he did.
	Yeah, he did.
	He worked for them, yeah.
	I don't know where he was.
	I think his email comes out of Germany, so he may have just completely moved.
	Can we play, since we're on this kind of a topic, can we play the one clip I have about the, which you explained in great detail, about the British snoop law?
	Yes, of course.
	Because we have this...
	The Snoop Charter.
	The Snoop Charter is what it was called.
	The woman who is the home person.
	Theresa May.
	Oh, she's on here.
	This is where she spoke in context, in front of Parliament.
	And it's just chilling.
	Britain's unveiled a plan for sweeping new surveillance powers, which include giving the government the ability to monitor which websites people visit.
	Experts say parts of the new bill go beyond even the surveillance powers allowed in the United States.
	Home Secretary Theresa May called the new powers unprecedented while also promising transparency.
	Mr Speaker, the legislation we are proposing today is unprecedented.
	It will provide unparalleled openness and transparency about our investigatory powers.
	It will provide the strongest safeguards and world-leading oversight arrangements.
	And it will give the men and women of our security and intelligence agencies and our law enforcement agencies, who do so much to keep us safe and secure, the powers they need to protect our country.
	On Twitter, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden said, quote, by my read, Snooper's charter legitimizes mass surveillance.
	It's the most intrusive and least accountable surveillance regime in the West.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, and?
	She just thinks it's fantastic.
	Now, a question I ask, of course, we have the NSA doing this here to a lesser extent than what they want to do.
	Someone's one-upsmanship.
	We can do it.
	We can watch what we can put.
	Watch what the public will put up with here.
	How come nobody caught this guy who's supposed to put the bomb in the plane?
	We have all this...
	Oh, you mean the Russian bomb?
	Yeah.
	Because it's not true.
	Because it's bullshit?
	Well, then the snoop should have told us that because that's not the message we're getting.
	Right.
	Well, you're just going all rhetorical again.
	But I find the messaging that is coming out, and let's wind it back a little bit, our analysis without any black box data or whatever, just the open source data that's available, ADS-B, etc., was a breakup in flight.
	Not a stall or what everyone else came out with.
	The altitude makes it impossible for a ground-fired shoulder-mounted weapon or a man pad or a sting or any of this.
	The drill Blue Skies, what was it called?
	The Israeli-U.S. drill, which was going on in parallel to where the aircraft went down.
	And if you listen to all...
	Now, this is all from Wednesday and Thursday.
	So we didn't get a chance because these were not available to me on Wednesday prep.
	And Thursday, of course, we had the show.
	Here's first the Egyptian official with...
	We did talk about this sound.
	The flight recorders were recovered...
	On the first day of the accident, and they were successfully downloaded.
	Although the CVR team is still in the phase of writing the transcript, which will take time to finalize, a noise was heard in the last second of the CVR recording.
	A spectral analysis will be carried out by specialized labs in order to identify the nature of this noise.
	The committee is considering with great attention all possible scenarios for the cause of the accident and did not reach till the moment any conclusion in this regard.
	Okay, so no conclusion, but we heard a noise.
	We heard a noise, everybody.
	We have to identify the noise.
	It could have been someone flushing the toilet.
	It could have been anything.
	But, no, we have the CIA and NSA and other officials unidentified.
	Not a single person has been identified by name.
	Western intelligence sources have said British and U.S. spies intercepted chatter.
	From suspected militants suggesting that a bomb, possibly hidden in luggage in the hold, down the plane.
	They were celebrating a U.S. official who is not named is quoted.
	You Reuters, you're full of crap.
	Give us a name.
	Unnamed sources is not journalism at this point.
	The leading theory right now, and this is a theory, is that ISIS in Egypt, which operates in the northern part of the Sinai Peninsula, was able to get a mole inside the airport.
	They were able to deliver a bomb to that person, and that person then put it on the plane before it took off.
	Now, Egyptian officials are saying, they said yesterday, that they are looking through airport security cameras, trying to identify anyone who could have done that.
	So far, they haven't given any information about what they found from those security cameras.
	But that right now is the leading theory that some sort of package or some sort of device was able to be put on at the last minute before this plane took off.
	Okay, so I'm, you know, it's alright, it's unnamed sources, and it's chatter, but then when you have the president on Thursday morning, We're now Sunday.
	Thursday morning, he does a radio interview.
	I think there is a possibility that there was a bomb on board, and we're taking that very seriously.
	We know that the procedures we have here in the United States are different than some of the procedures that existed for outbound and inbound flights there.
	We're going to spend a lot of time just making sure that our own investigators and our own intelligence community figures out exactly what's going on before we make any definitive pronouncements.
	But it is certainly possible that there was a bomb on board.
	Okay.
	And for the president to say this, he knows.
	He knows that this was probably an accident, but you don't know.
	We heard our British...
	Boots on the ground say these people have no qualms about bringing down an aircraft with citizens on board.
	For the president to come out and say this, that it seems likely, very possible, could be, they shot it down.
	And it was shot down during the Blue Skies military training, which was huge.
	Israel, the United States, we got Jordan, we got a couple other.
	And I think it was shot down.
	May not have been intentional, but it was right a beam where the drills were taking place, air combat, and why else would the President go out on a limb like this?
	It makes no sense he'd say anything.
	We didn't send any investigators over.
	No.
	In fact, play this...
	I got two NewsHour clips.
	The first one...
	Play the second one.
	It's long, but you can just cut it off when you're tired of listening to it.
	This is Margaret Warner who did the report on the crash.
	This is NewsHour Crash 2.
	And Margaret joins me now for more.
	Margaret, thank you for that report.
	So what explains the shift in Russia's thinking?
	First, Putin saying, no, we don't want to believe that this was an act of terror, but now they're suspending flights.
	Well, Judy, Putin is one of the two leaders involved here who has the most to lose economically and mostly politically.
	One Russian said to me today, you know, this isn't just a human question, a security question, but a deeply political one.
	So he's in a dilemma.
	He has felt in a dilemma because here he is with his adventure into Syria.
	And in fact, he was asked on Russian TV just within the last two weeks, does this put us at risk?
	He said, absolutely not.
	So if it does turn out, it's...
	He's at greater risk.
	That's the problem.
	Then people close to the Kremlin told me also that if that's the conclusion, he wants to be ready with a plan, sort of like George W. Bush after 9-11.
	So the Ministry of Defense is working on a lot of contingency plans, and I'm told that there's a huge movement of Russian assault ships moving into the eastern Mediterranean.
	That said, the Russians have investigators on the ground.
	The people they sent are from the FSB, which is essentially the KGB successor.
	They must have seen something that overnight made them recommend to Putin that you've got to protect Russian citizens.
	And if somebody said to me, if he didn't, and he didn't say anything, and there were another attack, there would really be hell to pay.
	So, Margaret, you've also got this discrepancy with the Egyptians not wanting to believe that there was a bomb, that there was terror involved, but you've got European countries saying something different, saying they have reason to think there may well have been.
	Yes, and in fact, there were reports from France today, they're unsourced, that the French investigators, the only investigators on the ground, Judy, are the Russians, the Egyptians, and the French.
	Like, the U.S. is not there.
	So, the French have come to that conclusion.
	But that's sourced reports.
	So, for President Sisi, there's so much at stake.
	What does that mean, sourced reports?
	What is she saying by that?
	First of all, what a blow to their last remaining tourism industry.
	I mean, Sharm El Sheikh was really it at this point.
	But secondly, he won election after taking power in what many consider a coup, saying, I'm the general, I can protect us from terrorism.
	In fact, terrorism has increased.
	He keeps saying and asserting, we have total control over Sinai.
	Well, they don't.
	Jihadist groups are much more active there than they were.
	And one of them declared allegiance to the...
	We have bases in the Sinai.
	We have bases there.
	What is she talking about?
	We're everywhere in the Sinai.
	The Islamic State.
	So they're really in a bind.
	They insist, and I talked to an Egyptian, someone close to the government today, who said it really isn't definitive information, but also he will pay a huge political price.
	Yet...
	I'm told there's a recognition on the part of that government that if they wait too long and the whole rest of the world's come to a conclusion, they'll look like they're hiding something.
	But in the meantime, you also have daylight between what the Brits are saying, the British are saying, and what the U.S. The British are saying, well, we think there's likely reason to believe it was a bomb.
	The U.S. is saying, no, we're not ready to make that happen.
	To me, Judy, that was in a way the most fascinating sort of conundrum, because I'm told the U.S. and the British are looking at the exact same set of intelligence.
	It clearly points to it being a bomb.
	Clearly.
	Clearly.
	Snakes on the plane.
	This is the multinational force, Task Force Sinai.
	It's been attacked a few times.
	Yeah, it's very dangerous.
	Following the Egypt-Israel peace treaty in 1979, the United Nations was asked to provide peacekeeping forces in the Sinai Peninsula.
	Mandated by treaty.
	We are there.
	We are there.
	Ah, jeez.
	I apologize to the people of Russia.
	I apologize you've got the Syrians bicycling through your country to Norway.
	You don't have to apologize for that, because that is bull crap.
	I apologize for us probably shooting your citizens out of the sky.
	Yeah.
	With Project Blue Skies.
	Wrecking the Ukrainian sweet deal.
	Yeah.
	And then blaming them for everything.
	And then we go, of course, look at ourselves.
	And when you start looking, by the way, anyone out there can start researching modern rocketry.
	And the reason I started doing it, because I wanted to see a Titan.
	Not a Titan, but what is this?
	Well, the Saturn V used to be this big rocket, but they got this new rocket that they're working on, but it's only going to be launched out of Cape Canaveral.
	But I want to see...
	I think it's something four.
	Is it a Titan four?
	I'd have to go look at my list.
	But there's one or two giant rockets that they do launch from Vandenberg, which is over here.
	And every once in a while, one of these things gets launched, and you can see it.
	Sometimes it depends on where they send it, but you can see it from here, which is somewhere north.
	Did you hear about the rocket last night?
	No, what rocket happened to launch?
	Mysterious light rattled some nerves in Southern California.
	Police got a lot of calls.
	People posted video all over social media wondering if this was a UFO. Well, U.S. military officials say, don't worry, this is just a missile test pre-planned, and this missile was not armed.
	No weapons on board.
	That was a Minuteman.
	No, I don't think it was a Minuteman at all.
	And there's something wrong with this story.
	Actually, I have to play the follow-up so you understand what's wrong with it.
	You may not know it because you're asleep by then, but every night after midnight, a change takes place at LAX. Instead of landing from the east over Englewood, planes begin flying in from the west over the ocean to keep noise levels down.
	But due to secret military operations, the airspace out over the Pacific is closed to incoming flights for the next week.
	That means residents in the flight path will hear this all night long.
	So I can imagine for the next week they're gonna fly over 24 hours.
	No, that's gonna be crazy.
	We clearly understand that neighbors and communities east of the airport will experience noise.
	And we apologize for that.
	But what's causing the change?
	The military isn't talking.
	Even LAX is in the dark.
	Any idea what the military operations are?
	No.
	All they know is planes can't be flying at low altitudes to the west.
	Now, it's been 40 years that LAX has been avoiding flying over land late at night.
	There will be occasional changes.
	For instance, when the winds come in from the east, they will reverse the flight path and planes will take off headed towards the east.
	So some residents there are used to this.
	As to what is exactly causing it this time, it remains unknown.
	Yeah, so I went and looked at the NOTAMs.
	This is a notice to airmen.
	And this was just a last addition about this runway being closed, and it starts at midnight.
	But this is just in the past two days they put up this NOTAM. Wait a minute, let me just calculate the Zulu time.
	This was around the time, just before this was spotted, I guess, if I take the time change into account.
	This is highly unusual.
	If you have a missile test to then send out a NOTAM, notice to airmen, like half a day before, and then shutting down this runway for a week.
	Now, if you look at the video...
	Of this particular light.
	Did not look at all like a Minuteman.
	In fact, you know what it looked like?
	Do you remember in 2009 that crazy lights in Norway?
	The spiraling light?
	Mm-hmm.
	That, and of course I researched that a lot.
	That was six years ago.
	Scalar weapon.
	That's what they're testing.
	What's it do?
	A scalar weapon, that's Tesla technology.
	It's not your typical rocket propellant.
	You can see it doesn't have this typical trail.
	It has a very strange spiral-like...
	Yeah, it looks like a comet.
	Yeah.
	I think it's a scalar weapons test, and I don't know why this was not planned way in advance.
	It's very problematic to just close a runway at LAX after midnight.
	Yeah.
	But okay.
	Well, it will remain a mystery to a point.
	Probably.
	But I suggest people look into scalar weapons because I think that's something new that's being tested.
	And why would they?
	They're going to launch this thing up above...
	It has to be launched from Vandenberg.
	Unless there's another launch facility someplace I don't know about.
	I think they don't know how to steal.
	Maybe they're launching it from the water.
	Oh, that could be.
	That would make sense.
	But still, why, why, why?
	I don't know.
	Well, better be safe than sorry.
	Yeah, sure.
	All right.
	All right.
	I have some sports.
	It's Sunday.
	Good time to talk about sports.
	Really?
	Is there ever a good time to talk about sports?
	In this case.
	Okay.
	Wait, we have a sports jingle somewhere.
	Hold on.
	I know we have a sports jingle.
	Yes.
	All right.
	Hold on a second.
	Right on time.
	Here we go.
	Sports.
	No agenda sports.
	Sports!
	Now tell me, this is not a good time to talk about sports.
	I've got three stories.
	Let's start with this one.
	When you hear the stories, you're going to go, oh yeah, now this is sports.
	This is Sports Dykstra.
	It's about a baseball player named Lenny Dykstra.
	I heard...
	Sorry?
	Character.
	Character.
	What team does he play for?
	He doesn't play for anybody.
	He's been just out of jail.
	Oh, excellent.
	I heard stories you used to keep hires.
	You were very smart that way.
	Well, a little more of that.
	What'd you do?
	I said, I need these umpires, so what do I do?
	I just pulled half a million bucks and I hired a private investigation team.
	Follow them.
	Their blood's just as red as ours.
	Some of them like women, some of them like men, some of them gamble.
	What is he talking about?
	He got the goods on the umpires.
	He's a baseball player.
	Oh.
	And found that one of them was gay, one of them was a betting nut.
	Oh.
	And he explains how he made that work.
	Some of them did whatever.
	So you had P.I.'s.
	Tracking umpires through your career or just a few years?
	No, like after I got the money, when I was trying to get the money.
	It wasn't a coincidence you think I led the league in walks the next few years, was it?
	So you really think?
	I don't think I know.
	Did you bribe him?
	No, his fear does a lot to him, man.
	Hey, so did you cover last night?
	He called a strike.
	Oh, I don't think you heard me.
	Did you cover the spread last night?
	Next.
	Have you told anybody else this?
	You're the first one, man.
	And in one of my books.
	That's pretty good.
	It gets better.
	But basically you're saying you had a dossier on umpires and you found, you know, if they were cheating around on their wife or doing something like that?
	Hey, look, I had to do what I had to do to win and to support my family.
	Wow.
	Hold on a second.
	Not that one.
	Sorry.
	Yeah, okay, I get it.
	I was actually going to play this jingle.
	I think the guy's plastered.
	Oh, well, he's got...
	He's got issues.
	He's got issues.
	He had a lot of issues.
	His whole story is fascinating because he was...
	If anyone wants to read a great story, just read about Lenny Dykstra.
	Here's another one.
	This is a similar theme.
	This is the sports.
	This is a very interesting doping scandal.
	All right, we've got another corruption scandal that is brewing in the world of sports.
	This time it involves the World Athletics Body, the IAAF. French prosecutors are investigating former President Lamine Diac on charges of corruption and money laundering.
	During his presidency, 82-year-old Lamine Diak is suspected to have accepted at least 200,000 euros from Russia's Athletic Federation to cover up positive doping tests.
	French authorities raided the IAAF headquarters before charging the former president along with two of his closest advisers.
	DIAC stepped down in August after 16 years as head of the IAAF. It had come under pressure after allegations of overlooking suspicious drug tests for over a decade.
	The tests included athletes who won 55 gold medals at the Olympics and World Championships.
	Recently elected President Sebastian Coe volunteered to be questioned by police and is fully cooperating with the ongoing investigation.
	This kind of leads me to believe, as an Austinite, as a Texan, that they needed some guy to be the fall guy, to be the point man of all things doping and corruption, and they just picked Lance Armstrong.
	They could have picked anybody.
	Right, but he's a high-profile target.
	Let's face it, he's a Texan.
	Screw those Texans.
	That's how the thinking goes.
	Screw those guys.
	That element exists.
	Yeah, and it was, you know...
	Generally speaking, the world hates Texas.
	Yeah, well, bring it on.
	No, we might as well continue on with a similar theme.
	This is the last one.
	This sports, the soccer blackmail story.
	In soccer, French police have questioned Real Madrid and France striker Karim Benzema.
	Over an alleged attempt to blackmail fellow French international Mathieu Valbuena over a sex tape.
	A media report say Benzema mentioned the tape to Valbuena during international duty last month.
	Benzema's relatives were also reportedly contacted by the alleged blackmailers in an effort to involve Benzema in the scheme.
	The alleged extortionists were arrested in October.
	You're right, John.
	Sports is now an important part of the show.
	It's great.
	None of these things are generally reported by the American sports writers.
	No, that's why for that first clip, the Dykstra clip, bend over because you deserve it.
	Clip of the day.
	That was good.
	That was very, very good.
	I liked it.
	I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	In the morning.
	Very good.
	We have a number of people to thank for this show.
	772.
	772.
	As we head towards 777.
	Which is, I'm giving, there's a link now, you can get double producer credit for 777.
	Nice.
	If you want.
	And that's coming up in 5, which is actually what we're going to do.
	So you have a heads up on this.
	Okay, so I have a heads up?
	Or...
	A heads up?
	Yeah.
	Do I need to have a heads up?
	You don't need to have a heads up.
	Oh, okay.
	But on Thanksgiving, we have a very funny clip show.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
	Why don't you explain what we're doing?
	Well, SirCyber...
	We have talked about it a couple of times on the show, but months ago, he sent us a two-hour program, which is the funniest bits, the comedy bits of the show.
	Yeah.
	And both of us, you know, we've received things like this in the past.
	You know, it was a nice try.
	But this one, when you have not just me, but John laughing at our own stuff...
	Well, an hour into the program, then you know it's good, because we're pretty critical.
	I was very, very skeptical.
	Yeah.
	Then I noticed, I was laughing out loud at some of the crazy stuff that we do.
	We are a very funny show.
	Yeah, this...
	So we're doing, right, we're doing that on...
	Thanksgiving Day, which is Thursday.
	On Thanksgiving Day.
	Which preempts 777.
	Which would have been 777, but since it's not a real, this is a clip show, we're calling it 776.5.
	I was going to say B. 776.5.
	And so that next Sunday will be officially, which is the Sunday after Thanksgiving, which still doesn't have a lot of listeners, but it's enough.
	Yeah, but it's not a holiday, so we should be...
	It's not a holiday, per se.
	On that day, we'll do the official show 777.
	So that's a heads up for anyone.
	So that is a week from next Thursday, I guess, right?
	The Thanksgiving?
	The Thanksgiving Day, yeah.
	Yeah, I believe so.
	Third Thursday in November, yeah.
	So let's thank Peter Hawkins in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
	$150.
	And he...
	He has something funny to say here, if I can find my cursor.
	He says, sirs, I was outraged to hear the donation scores for 771.
	It's enough to bring a tear to a glass eye, freeloaders.
	That has to be some Irish thing.
	Yeah.
	He says, I'm in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
	Belfast, UK. It sounds like crap.
	Don't say that.
	Got it.
	I think that's what we said.
	Yeah.
	Lee Bernier, and it is better.
	Lee Bernier in Standish, Maine, 12345.
	Dave Cardegna in Evergreen, Colorado, 12345.
	Then we have a slew of 11715s, which is the This is the one that made...
	This is today.
	This is for yesterday.
	It was a lucky day.
	It was 7-11 or 11-7, whatever you want to call it.
	Yeah, 7-11 or 11-7, yeah.
	It was a big deal, so we had decided to put together a 1-1-7-1-5 donation level.
	We got a lot of people that liked it, so we named them off.
	Starting, of course, with Sir Thomas Nussbaum, Virginia Beach, Virginia.
	Stephen Myers in Austin, Texas.
	We're up to the street from you, Steve.
	Marchi in San Jose, California.
	Tyler Oglesby in San Angelo, Texas.
	Josh Thibodeau in Dayton, Texas.
	It's Thibodeau.
	Thibodeau.
	Thibodeau.
	It sounds like a sheriff.
	It should be the sheriff.
	Matthew Sluder in...
	I think it's Sluder.
	Sluiter, Sluiter, S-L-U-I-T in Holland, Michigan.
	Timothy Brashears in Cookville, Tennessee.
	And finally, Jason Daniels in Dallas, Texas.
	I want to thank those folks for that.
	Very nice.
	Thank you.
	Sir Richard Moffitt, meanwhile, comes in from Milwaukee, Wisconsin with $111.15.
	Sarah Jordan in Raleigh, North Carolina with $111.11.
	And Jacob Christensen with $101.01.
	And he's in Taiwan.
	And the Chinese guy, we've got to get some news from him.
	Let's see what he says here in this note.
	Tao is pronounced with a T sound, not a D in this case.
	Wan, Y-U-A-N, is pronounced as Yuen, Yuen, me, Yuen, Yuen.
	Yuen, me, Yuen.
	And I think my name is presented in reverse because that's the Chinese way.
	So it's Christian Jacobson, which is what we try to catch that.
	Yeah, yeah.

	He says John's newsletter scored a 91 emotional tone on the LIWC calculator, so he had to donate.
	So you scored very high on the emotional tip, my friend.
	Good work.
	Yeah, but what does it mean?
	Was I emotional in a positive way?
	You were emotional in a truthful way.
	I'm always truthful.
	Emotional tone 91 means you're upset.
	You're emotional about something.
	Oh, well I was.
	I saw it.

	I would like people to know that this is one of the funniest bits in the Thanksgiving show.
	It's the Yom Fondalan where Sir Cyber put together this string of you pronouncing Yom Fondalan's name.

	We want to thank everybody who donated.
	And people who donated lesser amounts, too, for show 772 as we march towards 777.
	Yeah, this is highly appreciated.
	Good day today, everybody.
	Thank you.
	That picked up the slack.
	Of course, we will have another show on Thursday.
	And who knows what that will bring us.
	Don't we have another stupid debate coming up this week?
	Something annoying.
	It's getting annoying.
	I wish these guys would just stop.
	Or could they just talk about something else?
	Wow.
	Thanks to everyone who came in under $50.
	Also, some good subscription numbers.
	Like seeing that.
	John, you even tweeted out you love the four-a-weekers.
	I do.
	Yeah, it was good, and we appreciate that.
	Please remember us next time you think of supporting some form of media that, I don't know, makes you smarter.
	Dvorak.org slash N.A. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yay!
	You guys are really us.
	What number are we thinking of?
	69, dudes!
	You've got karma.
	There we go.
	And we got a couple of birthdays.
	Here we go.
	Sir Craig Cutner celebrating on, well, celebrating tomorrow.
	Tim Suin says happy birthday to his douchebag brother, Brett.
	And celebrating today, Marc-Antoine Nicolas says happy birthday to his wife, Micah Deriz, celebrating today.
	And Nadine Nakachewski says happy birthday to her boyfriend, Silvio.
	He celebrated on the 6th.
	Happy birthday from all your friends and staff and management here at the best podcast in the universe.
	Alright, we say congratulations to Sir Jim Spitzer, who now becomes Earl of Suffolk County and the surrounding plantations.
	And we have three knighthoods to hand out today.
	This is very exciting.
	We already read the note from the Shaker Maker.
	We'd like him to...
	He wants to be Sir Shaker Maker, I think, right?
	Oh, Sir Shaker Maker of the Black Forest.
	There's so much to do when it comes to administration.
	We've got a lot of admin to do on this show.
	And Simon Woodhead.
	If you please could stand up here by the podium, John.
	Hello, John.
	Hello, hello.
	You only named two.
	I've got Scott Waldherr, who's on the stage now.
	Shaker Maker and Simon Woodhead.
	All three of you gentlemen have become Knights of Nords in the Round Table.
	I'm very proud to pronounce the KB. Sir Waldherr, Sir Shaker Maker of Black Forest.
	Sir Woody, gentlemen, for you we have hookers and blow, red boys and chardonnay.
	We got crickets and cream, progressive rock and Russian imperial stout, puppies and tailors, beef and sport, cabiness and cabernet, hot librarians and Jagerbombs, opium and warm orange juice, three gassers and a bucket of fried chicken, long-haired heavy metal guys and scotch, vodka and vanilla bong, hits and bourbon, spiked inside and escorts, and mutton and mead.
	And head on over to noagendanation.com slash rings.
	Let Eric the Schill know what you can send it to.
	And as soon as they're in, because they have to be fabricated and then shipped to us.
	So that is on the way.
	We thank you very much for supporting the show.
	It's the only way it will work.
	Because we couldn't talk about any of this stuff.
	Any of this stuff.
	I got a note from some guy bitching.
	Okay.
	He's advertising the show with these newsletters.
	He goes on.
	That guy?
	Why don't you just get that guy?
	And he says, why don't you just take advertisers?
	I just don't understand that logic.
	How long has he been listening?
	Well, he used to be a donor.
	I always check these, by the way.
	In 2012, he had a subscription and he dropped it.
	And so it's at least three years.
	Okay.
	But, you know, it just makes zero sense that anyone would advocate that based on the nature of this show.
	I mean, he's been around.
	He knows why it works.
	But what is he annoyed by?
	By the show?
	By the newsletter?
	No, no.
	He was annoyed by the advertising the show in the newsletter.
	The newsletter talks about the show.
	Yeah.
	And, you know, it runs letters.
	It does all kinds of things.
	The newsletter is a variety of show in itself.
	It's a product.
	It's a show promotion vehicle.
	And the show notes are the same.
	Noagendaplayer.com is a part of that.
	The No Agenda Art Generator.
	We have tons of things that people participate in to promote the show.
	So, what has he done?
	He had a subscription, a $5 a month subscription for about a year.
	So he's just annoyed.
	Oh, fine.
	He's annoyed because he wants us to have advertisers.
	I mean, the show would be terrible.
	I mean, breaking up the show with these donation segments is an entertainment value.
	It has entertainment value in and of itself.
	Yeah, so people who skip it, you're missing out.
	For sure.
	And some people skip it, and they can do whatever they want, but an advertisement?
	Have you listened to these podcasts with these lame advertisements?
	Always with the same few products, and they're, you know what's poetically nice, though?
	Is that MailChimp, which we use for the newsletter, is an advertiser on a lot of podcasts, particularly the NPR variety.
	That just makes me laugh because we actually pay them.
	We don't take any advertising from MailChimp.
	We don't take any money.
	We pay for the service.
	And it works for us.
	It's the big secret of the value for value model.
	I'm going to let you all in right now.
	If you want people to give you money for what you're doing, you have to ask for it.
	Hello?
	It's like...
	You have to ask for it.
	It's that simple.
	Yes.
	And some people don't do it.
	I've always said, when we first started this model, people said, well, what kind of a crazy idea is that?
	Well, the same crazy idea that churches employ, the same crazy idea that public radio employs, the same crazy idea that a lot of things employ.
	A lot of museums and cultural centers, they all do this.
	It's not like a crazy idea.
	Yeah.
	But the thing is, when you're like a museum and you do a fundraising for the museum, you tend to...
	Yeah, you get masks for money all the time from people.
	And you're asked very seriously.
	People who...
	Or charities.
	Any benefits or, you know, anti-cancer or all the rest of it?
	Right.
	The difference is between, if you're going to do it as a podcaster, because the nature of the slave mentality of most people, everybody, is that you do a podcast and you won't seriously ask for money.
	You put up a tip jar or you say, oh, maybe, you know, I don't want to bother you, but if you have an extra nickel, you're like a beggar.
	You might as well have a cup.
	You might as well be sitting on a corner and mission and third.
	Well, to be fair, you've got homeless people all over San Francisco.
	It's not just Mission and Third.
	Please.
	I should have just said the entire city of San Francisco.
	And by the way, for anyone who's thinking of traveling to San Francisco as a tourist thing, don't do it.
	Yeah, stay away.
	Go someplace else.
	Stay away.
	Did you see that new NPR podcast thing, Earbud.fm?
	I've heard about it, but I have not paid.
	I didn't go and do any work on it.
	Well, let me say this about that.
	Let me say this about that, okay.
	Earbud FM, which NPR is so clueless.
	Sorry, Jarl Mohn, also known as Lee Masters.
	Hey everybody, Lee Masters here!
	The Bigs!
	You should back that up and explain what you're doing there with that reference.
	Oh, the current CEO, president of the NPR, hired me at MTV. His disc jockey name, which he used then at MTV, was Lee Masters.
	His birth name is Jarl Moln.
	And he's tasked with saving NPR. And I don't think he's doing...
	I don't think he's on the right track, let me put it that way.
	Please explain.
	Well, they don't know how to make money with podcasts for NPR stations.
	It's very complicated because a lot of these shows, like This American Life and Fresh Air, these are all independently produced programs and they have their own advertising and own monetization on podcasts.
	I also think a lot of them are illegal.
	I would like to point out that you cannot put music in a download.
	Even NPR can't do it, but of course they get a pass.
	And so they've created this Earbud.fm, which they're promoting as the Friendly Guide to Great Podcasts.
	And they pretty much have a lot of NPR podcasts in there.
	Just mostly repurposed shows.
	Yeah, there's episodes, but I'd like to see our producers at least suggesting some no-agenda episodes and see if they'll even put them in.
	I don't see why they ever would.
	Well, they do put in other...
	I see things here...
	What's the Hidden Brain?
	Oh, that's another NPR podcast.
	They're pretty heavy on the NPR stuff, but honestly...
	But there are some other, you know, like of course you get Mark Maron, his show, you know, because they have the whole NPR thing going on.
	Good luck!
	I'm telling you now, people who create networks for media, whether it's video shows or podcasts, it doesn't work.
	Particularly not if it's advertising based.
	I'm going to say this for the last time this week.
	The way advertising works on television, if you want to buy an ad between 8 and 9 o'clock, there's only, what, 20 of them that you can buy.
	That's supply and demand.
	That's why the price goes up.
	When you have unlimited inventory, unlimited, your price is going to go to 0.0001.
	It's how markets work.
	So if you're going to have one show, which will be the founding podcast, he'll get all the money, and everyone else is going to start bitching, moaning, and it'll fall apart.
	You're going to hate yourself.
	It's not worth it.
	Okay, you can play the pet peeves thing if you want.
	Okay.
	I don't see Curry's pet peeve of the day.
	One of our producers was working on a new No Agenda jingle app, and he sent me the beta.
	And there was a jingle in there that I've never heard in my life.
	And I can't find it in the archive.
	Let me see if I can play it from my phone.
	That's a really good one.
	Let me see if I can play it from my phone through the...
	Through the microphone.
	Okay.
	And this is actually a pretty interesting app because you can set it up.
	Hold on a second.
	What happened there?
	You can set it up so that you can play a sequence of jingles.
	You can make a little playlist, which is kind of cool.
	But then there was this Adam is pissed off thing, which I don't think I'd ever heard.
	Hold on.
	Where is it?
	What was that?
	Hold on.
	I'm going down the list.
	There's also just a lot of things from the show that are taken out.
	It's kind of funny.
	Here we go.
	Let's see if this will work.
	work, Pissed Off Adam Curry.
	I don't remember that one.
	Have you ever heard that jingle?
	It's pretty funny.
	I don't have a copy of it either.
	I've never heard it.
	Must have been missed.
	Yeah.
	Well, how did he get it?
	I don't know.
	Probably from Phone Boy or something.
	Someone has it.
	Alright.
	War on weed for a moment.
	I was in the car because I'm getting ready for the trip.
	Good.
	I have a couple of marijuana clips myself.
	Can I start off with a little bit from...
	from Hartman's show?
	Absolutely.
	Mexico's Supreme Court today ruled that Mexican citizens have a constitutional right, I repeat, a constitutional right, to grow and distribute marijuana.
	Yeah!
	Did you know this?
	This is great!
	Well, yeah, of course I know it, and that's why I have this clip, which actually is a little more elaborate.
	Well, there's a little more to the clip, but I'll let you slip in.
	What do you want?
	I would go with the marijuana in Mexico because it adds a little Bernie Sanders twist.
	In Mexico, the Supreme Court has issued a strong condemnation of the U.S.-backed war on drugs and paved the way for the possible legalization of marijuana.
	On Wednesday, the court ruled four people who had applied for a license to grow and use marijuana have the right to do so.
	The case lays the groundwork for future legal action in Mexico that could lead to legalization nationwide.
	Uruguay legalized marijuana in 2013, and medical marijuana legalization bills are being debated in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica.
	Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto spoke after the ruling.
	The government respects the definitions of the Supreme Court of the nation, and particularly on this issue.
	I am also clear that this position opens a wide debate for eventually discussing a regulation on the issue of the consumption of marijuana.
	This means for us that the deliberation now will be about the commercialization for consumption and the legalization of marijuana consumption.
	This comes as presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has introduced legislation that would end the federal prohibition on marijuana, allowing states the power to legalize and regulate marijuana in the same way state and local laws now govern the sale of alcohol and tobacco, without fear of federal impediment.
	Well, go Bernie!
	So we both have the same Hillary clip, I guess. - Do you This was at a meeting, a town hall meeting.
	Yes, it was the same one.
	Is that the one you got?
	Yeah, I got it queued up.
	This is what she wants to do about marijuana.
	She's a little uninformed.
	But what I do want is for us to support research into medical marijuana, because a lot more states have passed medical marijuana than have legalized marijuana.
	So we've got two different...
	Experiences or even experiments going on right now.
	And the problem with medical marijuana is that there's a lot of anecdotal evidence about how well it works for certain conditions, but we haven't done any research.
	Why?
	Because it's considered what's called a Schedule I drug, and you can't even do research in it.
	So I would like to move it from what's called Schedule I to Schedule II, so that researchers at universities, at the National Institute of Health, could start researching what's the best way to use it.
	Bullshit!
	There is so much research on marijuana that this...
	It's like outrageous and it's been going on for years.
	She must have been high when she said this.
	She's like the typical idiot politician.
	They don't seem to understand what the hell is going on.
	Harvard University does research on weed.
	This is crazy.
	And this anecdotal thing is nonsense.
	That's a lie.
	It is a huge lie.
	I could not believe that.
	That's a lie.
	And did anyone in the town hall, John, when you were watching this, stand up and go...
	No.
	No, in fact, the guy who's the moderator, he said, well, that's interesting.
	What do you think about sickle cell?
	It took it right to...
	It was a black town hall.
	So they took it right to sickle cell anemia.
	Oh, man.
	What are you going to do about that?
	She has a pat answer.
	Ugh.
	It was...
	Oh, this is a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	Douchebag.
	Lie is a lie.
	It's a lie.
	It's a total lie.
	It's a liar.
	I have in the show notes, I get all these...
	It's a lying liar.
	Yeah.
	Liar, liar, pants on fire.
	Liar!
	And suit on fire.
	All right.
	What else do we have?
	Well, I want to play this because I think it's good news.
	Play it.
	Euro-dollar.
	Oh, yes.
	Oh, I have a tie-in to this.
	That when the euro is weaker, it is good for German exports and for Eurozone exports because the products of German companies are cheaper to buy for foreign buyers.
	Well, that's the third boom, isn't it?
	The euro against the dollar falling quite dramatically.
	Yes, that's right.
	And that is something that has spawned some new discussions on whether we will see a parity between the U.S. dollar and the euro.
	Theoretically, it could happen because the U.S. Federal Reserve is increasing interest rates.
	And here in the euro zone, the measures by the ECB are weakening the euro.
	So all in all, that's what's possibly going to happen at some point, Ben.
	Yeah, okay.
	But doesn't that hurt us here in the United States of Gitmo Nation?
	Now if you want to travel to Europe, have a good meal in Paris.
	No, I understand that, but doesn't it make our products more balanced?
	Here's what's actually going on you have to deal with.
	Yes, absolutely.
	It makes our imports more expensive.
	But if you really look at it, we're not the big importer.
	We're an importer, not an exporter.
	Our export's more expensive is what I meant.
	We're a net importer, so it's better for the public.
	Right, so we can get cheaper cars.
	Better for the public.
	Yeah, it's better.
	It's better for us.
	Yeah.
	We're going to make cheap cars.
	We're very cost competitive.
	Our cars are very competitive.
	Well, I have a...
	Sorry.
	I was going to say the yen is also outrageously.
	Right now it's down to nothing.
	In fact, I just saw a Toyota on sale, five bucks.
	I think this calls for tech news!
	iPhone's my phone.
	The way I see it, the only good phone's a landline, and the phone should be made out of Bakelite.
	That's right, everybody.
	Time for the Tech Horny to gather around as we bring you Sunday Real Tech News.
	Tech news, tech news, tech news.
	And I have a report with some additional information that deals with, well, actually, they do mention the parity between the euro and the dollar, but in relation to, can you name it?
	The Swiss franc, the yen.
	No, no, no, no.
	The Russian ruble.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	Gold.
	No, no.
	It's one of your favorites.
	Oh, favorite.
	Sausages.
	Bacon.
	Oh, boy.
	It's a banana.
	Bonanza.
	Bonanza, banana, bandana, as long as you don't have to wait anymore.
	It's a Bitcoin bonanza.
	Bitcoin, have you heard?
	It's making a comeback.
	The price of the digital currency has surged more than 50% this week alone, partly fueled by the EU's classification of Bitcoin as a currency and not a commodity.
	So, Nicole, is this market still particularly prone to volatility?
	You know, back in 2013, it went from $13 to To a high of $1,100 before it crashed, reminding us all of the tech bubble, right?
	This was the Bitcoin bubble.
	Right, so it's come up a lot, but still well off those highs.
	Very volatile, thinly traded, thinly understood, frankly.
	And so I think in an industry like this, you have to understand that there's going to be a lot of volatility.
	You know, I personally am much more intrigued by the euro almost coming to parity with the dollar...
	In Europe and potential raising rates in the U.S. That, to me, is a little easier to understand.
	Not many people understand it.
	And if it is to become an established currency, it's going to need precisely what it got from the EU this week.
	This is precisely the type of voice that it needs in order to be recognized and for people to make an effort to understand how it impacts Their life, their dollars, their currency of choice.
	And to legitimize it.
	It's still on the road of being legitimized.
	And importantly, the IRS said it was not a currency.
	So certainly a long road ahead.
	You know, that was property.
	A long road ahead in this country.
	All right, so let me tell you what's really happening here.
	Because I have looked into this.
	I've been following this.
	I still own Bitcoin.
	You have a Bitcoin.
	I think I have eight of them.
	I don't remember.
	Very easy street, my friend.
	I'm living it up.
	I've never sold them, but I've held on to them.
	But this is what's happening in banking.
	There is a branding exercise underway, and you need to be aware of it.
	Bitcoin is dead.
	Bitcoin is out.
	Bitcoin is...
	Forget about it.
	Bitcoin is going to be the bastard child that'll be kicked to the curb.
	Adam at Curry.com.
	That's right.
	But here's what, it's just a branding exercise.
	All the financial guys are all talking about the blockchain.
	See, this is very cute what they've done here.
	I had a, I listened to the Max Keiser lecture about the blockchain versus the Bitcoin, yes.
	When was this?
	just a few days ago.
	Okay, good.
	Well, I'll find it.
	I'll put it in the show notes.
	So the blockchain is the underlying technology that shuttles Bitcoin throughout the universe.
	And you can do anything you want with it.
	Not anything, but you can do a lot with the blockchain.
	And there's all kinds of things being sent along with the blockchain.
	There's the blockchain messaging.
	It's a very interesting technology by itself.
	And you're going to see a lot of virtual currencies that will be distributed through the blockchain.
	So it's now become a platform.
	I think platform is the right way to look at it.
	But Bitcoin, it's toxic.
	It's just toxic.
	No financial person in their right mind is going to, you know, go all in on Bitcoin.
	It's too volatile.
	It's nuts.
	But blockchain and putting their own virtual currency into the blockchain, that's what's going to happen.
	It's time for another installment of Bitcoin Bonanza with Adam Curry and John C. DeVore.
	This is Peter Thiel.
	Satoshi Nakamoto.
	Cody Wilson.
	And special guest, Alan Davis.
	That's right, on Bitcoin Bonanza.
	We're going to start that show up.
	It'll be great, but I have to change it to Blockchain Bonanza.
	Well, this will make it interesting for you to listen to Max Keiser because he says just the opposite of what you said.
	What does he say?
	He says just the opposite.
	He says the Bitcoin is...
	Well, he's a Bitcoin guy.
	He's got a Bitcoin exchange or something.
	Right.
	So he thinks the blockchain, what you said is...
	The blockchain is the whole thing.
	Well...
	Interesting.
	Tell me what you said.
	Well, you know what?
	Then he is a shill.
	I believe that he has so much invested in Bitcoin that he's running against.
	He's running interference.
	This is not good.
	This is disappointing.
	Yeah, well, I'm just...
	You'll get a kick out of it.
	What I'm getting a kick out of is the chat room.
	What are they doing?
	None of this is true!
	Nada!
	Curry, you're out to lunch!
	Doesn't know what he's talking about!
	I hate this show.
	Groovy.
	I do have a little tech news.
	Yes, I'm looking for tech news.
	This is our tech news segment, John.
	Would you think polling is tech news?
	I think so.
	Yeah, I think polling is tech news.
	Well, here's the guy that was on C-SPAN that came up with the justice, inequality, freedom, liberty.
	And he's talking about polling.
	And I think it falls into play with all the stuff we say about polling, but he kind of ignores the overriding thesis, or meta-thesis, that everything's designed just to keep these media companies in business.
	And at the end, he named some of the major polls, and I didn't realize how media-centric they are.
	Whatever is the new poll, and even though they have no earthly idea who the pollster is, and nobody's ever heard of this pollster before, and it's like polls have become a commodity.
	They're all the same.
	And remember a few years back, there was a firm out of Atlanta who turned out they were just making stuff up.
	And, you know, I saw this morning some people on a morning show who were going crazy over a couple of state polls that I've never heard of the pollster before, ever!
	And, like, you know, I mean, any of you, you could...
	What's your mother's maiden name?
	Tata.
	Huh?
	Tata.
	Tata?
	Yep.
	Tata Research just came out with a poll.
	And the thing is, you can get it on television.
	I shouldn't say this.
	This is on C-SPAN, and so I will.
	And they give it just as much credence as if it was an NBC Wall Street Journal or ABC Post or CBS New York Times poll.
	It's like, really?
	Anyway.
	Okay.
	I'm kidding.
	Yeah, that's exactly right.
	And we have, of course, discussed doing the agenda poll with some phony baloney name and getting it written up.
	We know we can do it.
	You need some kind of foundation or something to do that.
	I think he's right.
	No, I disagree with that.
	I'll bet that we can do a made-up company and a made-up poll and slip it into the media and it'll get picked up.
	Hmm.
	Not if my name's attached to it, it won't.
	We won't have your name.
	No.
	Exactly.
	Something like the West Coast Polling Company.
	Okay.
	Here's what we need.
	This is good.
	We need producers.
	A producer.
	We need a domain.
	We need a website.
	We need the polling.
	It has to look slick.
	What should we have in there?
	That's to look slick.
	What should we put it?
	Who will be winning in our poll?
	What is the idea?
	How do we do this?
	It's got to be something related to our No Agenda themes.
	The original idea when we first thought about it was that we need to get some attention for the show.
	Right, right.
	So we can do a poll on Best Podcast.
	That's some political thing in there.
	Okay, well let me think.
	We have to think about that.
	How about Best Political Analysis Podcast?
	We have...
	That sounds good.
	Something like that because everyone's all hip on the Best Podcast list.
	Yeah, we do best political podcast.
	Yes.
	We're most accurate.
	Most accurate political podcast.
	Most truth fact-checked.
	We've got until next November.
	We need to put something in this like the political fact-checked podcast.
	Well, we'd have to dream up a phony podcast.
	PFCP. Yeah, of course.
	And we'll make one.
	And then on the website...
	Phony up everything.
	Yeah, on the website...
	We'll approve our own media theories.
	Exactly.
	We can do this.
	I know our producers can do this.
	You can do this.
	And you know how I know you can do this?
	Go podcasting!
	That's how I know you can do this.
	So I have one news clip.
	Can I... Oh, you closed the tech segment.
	No, I have some tech news here.
	You can't...
	Okay, go on.
	I'm sorry?
	Did you just go, eh?
	I said, no.
	I said, no.
	Go on.
	Did you not just go, eh?
	No, I didn't.
	I said, no.
	Go on.
	Okay.
	You went, eh.
	No.
	Yes, you did.
	Yes, you did.
	This is rubbish.
	You went, eh.
	No.
	No.
	Never happened.
	You don't even know what you said three seconds ago.
	You went, eh.
	No.
	Rubbish.
	I do this.
	This never happened.
	Okay, my tech news.
	I have three other items, if you don't mind.
	I prepare.
	I did some prep.
	I love tech news.
	You might want to consider it.
	Prepping.
	The Amazon Fire TV and the stick.
	This is for you.
	This is reporting for you.
	For you.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	I have the Fire TV stick.
	Is there two products?
	There's one in the Amazon Fire and one in the stick.
	You have the Fire TV, which is a box, and then you have the stick, which plugs directly into your HDMI. Oh, I never knew about the box.
	Oh, I think I did.
	I know about the stick.
	Okay.
	So the stick, Fire TV already ships with it today, but the stick is going to include Alexa.
	So, now it won't have the jazzy device that you have that is listening all the time, but you can...
	Okay.
	But you can control it through your phone, through your smartphone app, and then you can ask her to do anything that the normal Amazon Echo would do.
	And it's already included with the Fire TV, and they're going to upgrade the stick so you get it.
	I think that's cool.
	I think this is, you know, I'm loving this.
	Timers.
	Timers, yeah.
	Timers, weather, you know, all the standard things DJs.
	Give me five minutes.
	How do you even do that?
	Okay, well, hold on, hold on.
	Alexa, set a timer for five minutes.
	The noise gate is on.
	You can't hear it.
	But that's how you do it.
	So I think that...
	Be on the lookout for that.
	That thing is cool.
	And when people get that, they're going to start liking it, I think.
	Okay.
	All right.
	I thought that was a good item.
	Next.
	I have...
	Screw you, DeVore.
	Hey!
	iPhone schmy phone!
	What are you doing?
	Alright, go ahead.
	Would somebody please send me the bit where John went, eh, please?
	Don't send it to him.
	You can probably pull that out of anywhere in the show.
	It's going to be phony, but I'm not going to both do it anyway.
	It's been phonied up.
	So you missed some great Facebook news and the Lima Drive, but okay.
	I what?
	I missed some great Facebook news.
	You'll be writing about that in your little PC Magazine column next week.
	I don't think so.
	I don't have a Facebook account.
	When Facebook...
	Okay, that's fine.
	Well, then what happened?
	Come on, I want to know.
	No, I'm not going to tell you.
	Can you keep it in a secret?
	Let's move on.
	You had something else that was really important.
	I only had one.
	It was fantastic.
	It wasn't fantastic.
	But I tell you this, it's not covered on American news at all.
	I have a big bullet down.
	Unreported airline news one, Luft.
	Luft.
	I got some Luft right here.
	All right, time to get you up to speed with the latest business headlines.
	Lufthansa passengers better check the departure boards right now, right Ben?
	Oh yeah, there have been hundreds of cancellations today, affecting thousands of passengers.
	Cabin crews are striking, and this could take more than a week.
	It affects nearly all departing Lufthansa flights from Frankfurt and Dusseldorf, including several connections to the United States.
	Tomorrow, the union says it'll last for 17 hours from 5 GMT on Saturday.
	The airline's offering to rebook tickets free of charge.
	And if you don't mind spending a night in Frankfurt, the carriers reserved thousands of hotels.
	Let me tell you, I'd rather be shot in the head than spend the night in Frankfurt.
	You do not want to spend the night in Frankfurt.
	It's not really the town to hang out in.
	Yeah, this is a huge strike.
	And I believe it's going to go on longer than a week.
	I've heard that it could go on for two weeks.
	One guy kind of suggested that, but...
	This is not reported at all.
	I got one report off of Reuters about it, but it was very minute.
	We may not even talk about that when the French employees bum-rushed the HR guy at Air France, KLM, and tore his shirt off because of similar issues.
	This is where you see how the economy is falling apart.
	It truly is.
	These are big deals.
	And then you get, you know, adding, especially Lufthansa, and then adding Deutsche Bank and getting rid of 35,000 employees.
	You know, how's Volkswagen doing?
	How are all these guys doing?
	This cannot end well.
	This is not going to end well.
	I'm just wondering how it's going to end.
	You've always said 2017 is when we'll be right in the middle of it, but are we not tipping over now?
	Well, 2017 will be right in the middle of the Depression.
	Which is not a big depression, but it's a big worldwide depression, but it's not a long depression.
	But it'll freak everybody out and everyone will think it's long.
	And that is the thing that triggers the real problems.
	This happened in 1937.
	This is the match.
	The 80 year match.
	And when you end up with this...
	The situation happened during the Great Depression, which was mishandled, which is why it lasted so long to begin with.
	And in the 1937, the second crash kind of took place after a little run-up.
	That, I think, triggered pretty much all.
	World War II was kind of underway.
	There's a lot of...
	Hitler was doing some police actions.
	He was doing a few takeovers here and there.
	But all hell broke loose a couple years later after the 1937 incident.
	Now, you have a second clip for this Lufthansa thing?
	Do we want to play it?
	Yeah, I do.
	I don't know what it says, but it's probably...
	Well, it says a kicker, so I'm...
	Oh, there's a kicker on there.
	Yes, there's a kicker.
	Passengers unfortunate enough to have booked Lufthansa flights departing after 2 p.m.
	faced confusion at Frankfurt Airport.
	Many of them had little or no time to make alternative arrangements.
	We only just found out our flight has been cancelled, although it was still being displayed on the board, and it's just scheduled for departure on the Lufthansa app.
	It's very annoying.
	Now we've 10 minutes to catch a train and hope we'll make it to Hamburg on time.
	We had planned we had to change it, but at Vienna it will be okay, but it was very stressful, let's say, during the week.
	I don't understand the problem.
	They should just hook up with the migrants and walk.
	They should just walk to Hamburg.
	Here's the kicker.
	The Lufthansa app didn't give them the updates.
	What good are these apps?
	I've seen these apps.
	They don't give you the updates.
	I know.
	The app, this is a lot of craps.
	That's what I call them.
	Crap app.
	They're just craps.
	Just call them craps.
	Yeah, like the Violet Crown Theater.
	There's lots of craps.
	Well, before you...
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I was ending the show.
	I have the one little funny clip at the end.
	Bush eats nails.
	I just got to get it out of the way.
	Okay, and that will be our last one.
	Just talk about your resilience, because some people don't think you know how to fight.
	They don't know me.
	They don't know me.
	I eat nails when I wake up, and then I have breakfast.
	Where does it come from, your ability to fight back from adversity?
	Oh, it's just...
	I'm a grinder.
	He's on grinder?
	What did he say?
	He said he's on grinder.
	He's on grinder.
	All right, everybody, you heard it here first on the No Agenda Show.
	Jeb Bush is on Grindr.
	Dynamite.
	All right, please remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA for our Thursday program.
	Who knows what we'll come up with?
	Maybe some Facebook news.
	It's astonishing what we could come up with.
	Well, it's true.
	Oh, my God.
	All right.
	Anything?
	Do I need to watch?
	Isn't there a great game on today?
	Is it Dallas versus somebody else I should care about?
	No, the games today aren't interesting either.
	I mean, probably yesterday I thought it was going to be a good game.
	You didn't get to see it.
	It was LSU-Alabama, but that turned out to be kind of anticlimactic.
	I don't think so.
	No, you're good to go.
	Good to go?
	Yeah, you can go out and hit the town.
	Go listen to some music, have some dinner.
	Okay.
	Thank you.
	Out of the house.
	Thank you.
	I appreciate that.
	Is it raining?
	Yeah, it's a little drizzly.
	It's not great.
	It's perfect for a nice meal.
	Coming to you from FEMA Region 6 here in the capital of the Drone Star State, downtown Austin.
	Good morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where it remains gloomy, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back on Thursday right here on No Agenda.
	Oh, but at the end of the day, they're backing him.
	You know, they're backing him.
	Come on.
	At the end of the day.
	At the end of the day, John, if someone wants to get anyone, they can get him.
	At the end of the day.
	At the end of the day, it's more important that we have entertainment.
	At the end of the day, who's going to pay for the real loan?
	It's going to be taxpayer money.
	At the end of the day, that's going to be up to Valerie Jarrett.
	At the end of the day, isn't that it?
	At the end of the day, all this money is owed to bankers.
	At the end of the day, I think it's good.
	At the end of the day, as Americans, what we always do is we always say...
	At the end of the day, it's not actually the health care, it's the...
	At the end of the day, you can't deny I had to put less gas in.
	At the end of the day...
	We're all anti-Semites.
	At the end of the day.
	At the end of the day, you get, I think it's 4%.
	At the end of the day.
	Starts to run together at the end of the day.
	You kind of forget, right?
	At the end of the day.
	John, you and I are both in the audience business at the end of the day.
	At the end of the day.
	And so at the end of the day, she can say, hey, I told you so.
	At the end of the day, end of the day.
	But I don't say at the end of the day, I say it once, I think ever.
	Oh my gosh!
	Can you see that juice?
	Just talk about your resilience, because some people don't think you know how to fight.
	They don't know me.
	They don't know me.
	I eat nails when I wake up, and then I have breakfast.
	Where does it come from, your ability to fight back from adversity?
	Oh, it's just...
	I'm a grinder.
	Let's get social.
	Let's get social media.
	Give it up, Mary McCoy!
	Where in the world is Victoria Kagan Noodleman?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, no.
	You're saying yeah while you're saying no.
	Yeah, no.
	Yeah, no, you know.
	Yeah, no.
	I don't know why you're saying yeah while saying no.
	Yeah, no.
	Yeah, no, you know.
	Yeah, no.
	I don't know why you're saying yeah while saying no.
	And wash your hands after touching any raw meat.
	Adios, mofo.
	The best podcast in the universe.
	Borac.org slash N-A. Amen.
