	John, this is it.
	They finally got it out.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	And Sunday, January 24th, 2016.
	Time once again for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 7, Niner 3.
	This is No Agenda.
	Fixing the glitches on a Sunday.
	And broadcasting live from the capital of the Drone Star State, Austin Tejas, and FEMA Region 6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where there's football today, I'm John C. Devorak.
	It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill in the morning.
	All right, starting about an hour late.
	Yeah, well, an hour's an hour.
	And not that it matters to anyone.
	I was listening to the podcast.
	It matters to me.
	It matters to me, too.
	Is that why you mentioned football?
	Because now I've screwed up your day?
	No, actually, I figured that this was something bad was going to happen.
	Not this long.
	But just on a whim, I decided to record the earlier game.
	Oh, very good.
	So I can just go back.
	So nobody tweet John with any scores.
	I don't care.
	As far as I'm concerned, there's no such thing as a...
	In fact, I watch Warriors games after I know the score.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	I said this before, I'm not a spoiler guy.
	I think it's bullcrap.
	Right.
	Okay.
	So, apologies.
	Luke Skywalker was killed.
	No, anyway.
	We don't know if he's killed.
	We don't know if he's dead.
	He can still make a comeback.
	Oh, okay.
	I was very, very happy.
	I saw that one piece of the entire No Agenda gear set up, which I've been...
	Cobbling together for over 10 years.
	It's an open source program, and I've been supporting these guys for, oh man, I've been using this for six or seven, six years probably.
	And they came out with a new release, which will be compatible with OS X Mavericks.
	So I've been holding back.
	I missed Yosemite, missed Mavericks.
	My MacBook is starting to get crusty.
	You know how it goes.
	Planned obsolescence.
	And so I really wanted the upgrade, but I couldn't because it would break everything.
	And then, like in some magical moment, all of these new versions of all kinds of stuff showed up.
	Even a new version of the MIDI controller that I used from Behringer.
	And it's probably my fault.
	Somewhere I must have done something while just looking at these new versions because I have not upgraded.
	You don't upgrade on a show night.
	This is not what we do.
	No.
	At all.
	And somehow, like the SysX registry MIDI firmware...
	That's why people don't do this, by the way.
	Why people don't do what?
	A show?
	They don't do good, quality, high-end shows like this.
	Yeah, because you have to go through pain.
	Yeah, it's horrible.
	A lot of pain.
	Well, then let's just get into the mood for a second.
	I feel much better now.
	you I'll play it at the end of the show.
	Full one.
	I like it.
	No, I'll play it at the end of the show.
	Okay.
	It's a reggae beat.
	It's definitely a reggae beat.
	Yes.
	Where are we?
	I'm a little discombobulated.
	Get us going.
	Get us going.
	There's a couple of things that happened.
	I'll tell you what gets you going.
	ABC's been going back and forth on whether they're going to promote Trump or whether they're going to go with Cruz.
	Do they have this discussion openly?
	They might as well be.
	Okay.
	Meanwhile, I want to give you something I've noticed about Cruz.
	He's like a gaffmeister, and he does it very subtly.
	He's like the vice president of the first Bush guy.
	Dan Quayle.
	Yeah, bloody Quayle.
	Dan Quayle, who now runs one of the largest firms in the universe as CEO. The dumb guy.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So I have three gaff clips that come from Cruise.
	Okay.
	And there's two short ones which are incorporated into the third one, which is the longer one, which you should listen to so you can actually get a feeling for this guy's abilities.
	So this is going to be a quiz.
	I'm going to start off a little light with the first one, which is catch.
	It says cath in this case.
	Yes.
	Cath the gaff from Cruise.
	This will be a quiz.
	Wow.
	This is real.
	This is some good writing you've done here.
	Okay.
	Here we go.
	Here we go.
	Wait a minute.
	I've got to get into this.
	Let me listen to this again.
	Hold on.
	Yeah.
	National security exports.
	I like that.
	You've got to start noticing this if you start listening to this guy carefully, because he has this kind of weird, religious, ministerial, kind of like evangelical patter.
	Right, right.
	And it gets in a rhythm, you don't pay attention.
	Here's another example.
	This is number two?
	Yeah.
	Commander-in-Chief, instead of living or dialing by the Daily Calls and by the latest Twitter store.
	Don't dial it!
	Living or dialing.
	Let's play that again for people who missed it.
	This is fun.
	The vice of generals and admirals and national security exports and doing whatever is necessary.
	That was the wrong one.
	Hold on.
	Two is what I wanted.
	Commander-in-Chief, instead of living or dialing by the daily polls and then by the latest Twitter storm.
	Now, he's saying living or dialing by the daily polls.
	I guess maybe in his mind he's thinking about robocalls, perhaps?
	Dialing?
	I don't know.
	Oh, that could be.
	He may be having a bunch of brain farts causing these.
	Yeah, that's what makes the polls, you know, dialing people.
	Here's the segment that it came from.
	Both these gaffes were in the same...
	Wait, wait, from the same segment?
	Yes.
	Here's the long version.
	Is he qualified to be commander-in-chief?
	No.
	Well, you know, that's going to be a determination that the American people are making.
	I would suggest that the next commander-in-chief, instead of living or dialing by the daily polls and by the latest Twitter storm, should focus on identifying our enemies, listening to the expert advice of generals and admirals and national security experts, and doing whatever is necessary.
	To keep this country safe.
	This week, and of course the interviewer says, you mean experts, not experts.
	No, the interviewer, of course, which is Stephan Offal, blah, blah, blah.
	He, and who starts the question off, do you think he's qualified Trump to be commander in chief?
	It's a loaded question.
	I have a gaffe for you then, since we're doing gaffes, which may lead us into the next topic, which is this National Review article and I think cover piece, or whatever it is, which was pretty much a hit piece on Trump.
	Here's the guy, Rich Lowry, is he the editor-in-chief or is he the writer of the article?
	I think he's the editor-in-chief.
	Listen to his gaffe.
	It's going to probably turn into a really fiercely fought two-man race for a very long time.
	If Donald Drunk wins Iowa...
	Donald Trump!
	Donald Trump.
	And of course, they immediately corrected him on his gap.
	It's going to probably turn into a really fiercely fought two-man race for a very long time.
	If Donald Trump wins Iowa, you know, this may be all over in three weeks, and I can look at a swift deportation under the Trump presidency.
	You've got your anchor, baby.
	Yeah, so they didn't say anything, of course.
	Donald Trump.
	That's dyslexia right there.
	That's severe dyslexia.
	Well, so I got a couple of the Thursday clips and the Friday clips from ABC. Now, wait, are you doing 3x3s, or what are you doing?
	Yeah, I'm doing 3x3s, but I'm only watching ABC right now.
	Well, hold on a second.
	So it's time for 3x3.
	Experiment by JCD.
	Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC.
	The never-ending 3x3.
	So there's two of these.
	There's one on Thursday and one on Friday.
	Slightly different slant on each one.
	The Thursday one is the big clip, and that's the one that's got all kinds of stuff to discuss.
	The Friday one was a hit piece.
	Now we can play in either order.
	Well, I'll tell you what.
	Why don't I do my...
	A little shorty here on the Trump hit piece, and then we can go into that.
	How's that sound?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	This is MSNBC. John Hellman, he's from Bloomberg, and for some reason he's the authority, so MSNBC. Heilman.
	Heilman, I'm sorry.
	Heilman, yes.
	He's quite a character.
	In what way?
	I actually know him, so.
	Oh, well, do expand.
	I don't know.
	I mean, I don't have anything to say other than he is what he is.
	He is a guy who has managed...
	I think he's...
	Of all the writers I know in the same kind of peer group, he has done the most with his...
	With his career?
	With his career, yeah.
	So where does that leave you?
	I'm a loser.
	You're a podcaster.
	I'm a podcaster.
	This guy's at Bloomberg, man.
	He's on MSNBC. I don't think he's making big bucks.
	He makes a lot of money.
	He does a lot of books.
	He makes a lot of money on his books, and he promotes books.
	Good.
	Here he is.
	I mean, first of all, I'd say about the National Review, there's nothing the National Review could do more to help Donald Trump than to put out an issue like this.
	I mean, it's like an in-kind campaign contribution for the establishment to attack Trump.
	It helps him with his people.
	It's where Trump wants to be.
	It reinforces his message.
	You know, you've got to wonder.
	You gotta wonder.
	Well, if you looked at that piece, and I think it was just online, but the National Review, they said all these conservative writers and spokesholes and whatever, and they had a list of them, and the number one on there was Glenn Beck.
	I don't know if it was done in alphabetical order.
	Now that I think about it, it could be, but Glenn Beck isn't thought of.
	He's a talk show guy that's...
	He's not like an intellectual conservative, you know, guy writing books about the topic.
	He's not like Limbaugh's brother, the other Limbaugh.
	I didn't know he had a brother.
	Yeah, he's a writer, and he's very highly regarded as a thinker.
	But Beck is just a radio guy.
	Let's play the hit piece, which ran on Friday, and then we'll go back and play the bigger piece.
	Conservatives calling Trump unmoored, an opportunist, a menace.
	A menace!
	He's Dennis the menace, I tell you.
	He's a menace.
	Donald Trump the menace.
	Tonight.
	Tonight, Donald Trump going from campaign brawler.
	Ted is starting to go down.
	He's getting nervous.
	He's a nasty guy.
	He's a very striped person.
	Nobody likes him.
	He had his moment and he blew it.
	To mature statesmen with a message of unity.
	I will bring our country together.
	We will be unified.
	We will be one.
	We will be happy again.
	But Trump now causing a civil war within his own party.
	The Conservative National Review issuing an SOS, a special edition called Against Trump, including articles from 22 conservative leaders from the Reagan days to the Tea Party era, all trashing Trump.
	They call him a charlatan, unmoored and crazy, a man of tantrums and homicidal fantasies, a tapeworm invading the weakened body of the Republican Party.
	Hold on, I need to write that down, a tapeworm.
	Tapeworm.
	Tonal tapeworm.
	Invading?
	What was it?
	Invading the bowels of the Republican Party?
	There's something.
	A charlatan, unmoored and crazy.
	A man of tantrums and homicidal fantasies.
	A tapeworm invading the weakened body of the Republican Party.
	They should have said weakened bowels.
	It wouldn't be funnier.
	We can't.
	Calling it a publicity stunt.
	The National Review is a dying paper.
	It's got its circulations way down.
	Not very many people read it anymore.
	He says polls don't lie.
	People.com publishing exclusive behind-the-scenes photos of Trump and Sarah Palin looking at the latest numbers.
	Former First Lady Barbara Bush taking a shot at Trump's ego in a campaign ad for her son.
	When push comes to shove, people are going to realize Jen has real solutions rather than talking about how popular they are.
	Mommy, can you help me?
	How great they are.
	Former First Lady Barbara Bush now entering the campaign.
	And David, tomorrow Donald Trump heads right back to Iowa.
	That's where he's locked in the tightest race with Senator Ted Cruz, who will also be there this weekend.
	Both men fighting for every vote.
	Mommy, Donald Trump is pestering me.
	You've got to do something about it, Bobby.
	You can be sure that that is going to be one of Trump's salvos.
	Of course!
	It's so obvious.
	What a doofus.
	Hillary went to her husband for help.
	He's going to mom.
	His wife, who speaks fluent Spanish, she's a Mexican girl.
	She should be out there pounding the pavement for a jab, but she's not doing anything.
	Maybe he doesn't want her doing anything.
	What is it?
	Petron.
	What is his wife's name?
	I don't know.
	I saw an interesting post on the face bag, which I thought I'd share with you.
	This is from the artist here in Austin, Lori, the artist.
	Here's the conspiracy theory of the Democrats, the Obots, let's just put it that way.
	Okay, listen carefully, because this is what she believes is going to happen.
	If Cruz gets the GOP nomination, Trump decides to run independent, Bloomberg also runs independent, and Hillary runs as the Democratic candidate.
	Not one of them gets a majority of the Electoral College votes.
	Then, the House of Representatives elects the president from the three presidential candidates who receive the most electoral votes, and if they can't come to an agreement, then they choose the vice president from the two vice presidential candidates with the most electoral votes, and then that vice president serves as acting president until the deadlock is resolved.
	Are they insane?
	Holy mackerel.
	I mean, this is a conspiracy.
	This is the most complex one ever.
	Very complex.
	But I think everyone's all jacked up and excited about Bloomberg maybe running.
	A guy who no one cares about.
	Bloomberg is a horrible guy.
	And no one cares about him.
	Yeah, Bloomberg is a horrible guy.
	He's not a nice man.
	No.
	Was Bloomberg still president when he...
	President?
	Yeah, president of New York when he rousted up the occupiers?
	Wasn't he president of New York?
	Yeah, nice guy.
	That's who you want.
	Geez.
	He's a horrible guy.
	Alright, let's play.
	Okay, so that was like the...
	ABC's doing the best job of this because they have mixed feelings about who to support and their boy Jeb has failed so far.
	I mean, he's still a long shot.
	He can return, but we don't see any evidence of it.
	So let's go to the big one that had more stuff and it was kind of a little more balanced.
	I've noticed this, by the way, I'm doing the 3x3.
	Is that Thursday's news shows on all the networks, on Democracy Now!
	in particular, and PBS are always the best.
	All week.
	For some reason, Thursday, and Democracy Now!
	Not all the time, but most of the time, the Thursday show is their last news show.
	On Friday, they usually do like a special.
	She goes on vacation or something.
	They do a whole show discussing Navajo poetry.
	Something like that.
	I saw something else really strange.
	It was a strange...
	Hmm, I'll have to look it up.
	There was something Democracy Now!
	was doing that was just so off-kilter.
	Anyway, let's play the big Thursday roundup on ABC. This is, okay, the big Thursday.
	To keep this country safe.
	This week, Cruz blindsided by Trump's blockbuster Sarah Palin endorsement.
	Are you ready to make America great again?
	Woo!
	But soon, Cruz bringing out his own conservative media superstar, Glenn Beck, to check Trump.
	This guy, I believe, is dangerous.
	I believe he is dangerous.
	Trump, not impressed.
	This dopey guy, Glenn Beck, he looks like hell, doesn't he?
	No, he's like a dope.
	And I watch him cry on television all the time.
	He's doing very badly.
	The billionaire today tweeting, wacko Glenn Beck is a sad answer to the Sarah Palin endorsement.
	But Trump's now learning a Palin endorsement can come with pitfalls.
	She's under fire after linking President Obama to her son's recent arrest for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend.
	I'd say that the linking was done more by the media than by payment.
	I just stopped there, because that's exactly a good place to stop.
	I have not heard anything that she said, and including in this report where they're trying to make the point, she never says anything that does this linking.
	She just bitches about the fact that he has post-traumatic stress syndrome.
	Disorder.
	What?
	Disorder.
	Disorder, yeah.
	What I did read from someone else is that he was never in combat.
	He was a chauffeur for high-ranking military officials.
	I think that would be a better thing to complain about in terms of her misrepresentation.
	Yes, I agree.
	And if that's true, then she's horrible.
	Although maybe you can get PTSD from just being around the military.
	I'm not saying that's not possible.
	It's a possibility, but maybe especially if you've been isolated and raised in Alaska.
	It could happen.
	That's not what they're saying.
	They're saying that she blamed Obama.
	If what you say is true, which I believe probably must be.
	Well, she had a whole paragraph wherein she talked about Obama should have taken care of the war, I think.
	It wasn't even about veterans.
	And then the PTSD came up later when she was talking about veterans coming back from the war.
	So indirectly...
	Indirectly, they're pushing it too much.
	They're pushing it way too hard.
	This report that we're playing now discusses this in particular, and they present absolutely no evidence.
	Learning a Palin endorsement can come with pitfalls.
	She's under fire after linking President Obama to her son's recent arrest for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend.
	Palin revealing 26-year-old Track Palin, who served a year in Iraq, now suffers from PTSD. And she's pointing the finger at the President.
	It's a shame that our military personnel even have to wonder if they have to question if they're respected anymore.
	It starts from the top.
	It comes from our own president.
	Palin later doubling down in an interview with ABC News back home in Alaska.
	My family is no different from other families that are dealing with some of the ramifications of the war.
	And just really appreciate people who will support our troops and make sure that they are treated better than illegal immigrants, for one.
	But her comments are not sitting well with some veterans.
	The head of one leading Iraq and Afghanistan vets group tells us PTSD is a serious subject which should not be politicized or used as a political talking point.
	It's certainly not President Obama's fault that Sarah Palin's son has PTSD. Where I was...
	Yeah, there was...
	Unbelievable.
	It was all made out of thin air.
	And she's doubling down.
	And they have her saying, well, you know, the weather's pretty crappy today.
	I mean, it's like she didn't double down because she didn't do anything to begin with.
	And then they bring a veterans guy in who's got nothing to say about anything.
	This was the topic on Serious Progress 127.
	The Michelangelo Signorelli Show.
	Then, you know, people call in and say, and she didn't actually say that.
	Just shut up, you know what she means!
	Oh, okay.
	Fine.
	Fine.
	Shut up, you know what she means.
	So we're supposed to just like, you know...
	Just shut up and believe it.
	Shut up, shut up.
	Shut up and believe it.
	Now, we both read this article in The Week.
	Which was, what was the title of it?
	It was, How an Obscure Advisor to Pat Buchanan Predicted the Wild Trump Campaign Back in 1996.
	Which I think you also thought to be a great analysis or deconstruction of what is happening and why this Trump thing is catching fire.
	Do you remember reading this?
	The headline was a little bit misleading because we're going to put this in the show notes and people should read this.
	It's a very, very good essay.
	But the headline is a little misleading because the guy wasn't in 1996 predicting Trump.
	No, but he was predicting what the American people would want and would be ready for.
	Right, and one of his theses, and the one that's the most interesting to me, is that the conservatives, all these conservatives, the talk radio guys, the Rush Limbaugh's, all these, the Glenn Beck's, everybody who's pushing the conservative ideal...
	Nobody likes them.
	This is bull crap, this whole thing.
	The more I think about it, because I listen to these guys, is Rush Limbaugh is a good example.
	He's probably the most popular of the group and probably the most influential.
	He has had zero influence on any of these elections.
	How did Barack Obama ever get elected?
	With two billion dollars?
	That's how he got elected.
	It had nothing to do with conservatives.
	And then their thesis, their basic thesis of all of them...
	Which is one of the reasons they hate Trump, is that the only good Republican is a...
	Dead Republican.
	A Republican who has a...
	I call them checklist Republicans.
	They follow certain edicts.
	They believe this, they believe that.
	Yeah, small government.
	Well, small government is the least of it.
	It's mostly like pro-life.
	There's a lot of...
	Pro-spying on the public, believe it or not.
	Saying we're not going to spend money, but then spending it.
	Pro-war, big military, bigger military than ever, even though we already spend more than everybody in the entire world combined.
	I'll cite from the piece.
	This is from this 1996 letter that this guy Francis wrote to Pat Buchanan.
	He says...
	And thus we see them dying in middle age, this is about, you know, white middle age people, mainly men, dying in the middle age of drug overdose, alcoholism, or obesity at rates that now outpace those of even poorer blacks and Hispanics.
	Their rate of suicide is sky high, too.
	Living in Washington, D.C., however, with an endless two-decade real estate boom and a free lunch economy paid for by special interests, most of the people in the conservative movement hardly know that some Americans think America needs to be made great again.
	Which was interesting that that was the actual quote from his 96 memo.
	And then they go in and show how Trump is hitting all of these touch points.
	And this is what I'm seeing.
	I'm seeing that maybe the political elite who are all in on mainstream media, they're seeing for the first time that maybe the majority just thinks differently.
	I guess I would have to say that is exactly what's happening.
	And it's hard.
	And it's hard for people to come to terms with that.
	But wait, aren't we righteous?
	Don't we have, aren't we going, isn't this what we know is the right thing to do?
	Everyone else is insane, which is the definition pretty much of being a bigot.
	But it's a losing battle.
	It's very hard when you're in the minority and you believe you're right.
	I know, it's called marriage.
	Hey, hey-o!
	Well, here...
	Oh, jeez.
	So here is the...
	This is the long rant, but I think people should at least listen to it if you haven't heard it.
	This is Beck.
	It's the Beck rant.
	This is the totality of the Beck rant.
	He goes off the deep end.
	Now he's like a big supporter of...
	Now, is this on his own Blaze thing, or is this on Fox?
	This is on the radio.
	Oh, on a radio.
	All right.
	This is his radio show.
	This is what he went off the deep end and started.
	And his radio show is where people really listen to him.
	His TV thing is one aspect, but the radio show is...
	Yeah, the radio show is big.
	That's the big money maker.
	Yeah, big money maker.
	And so he's got this radio show, and he is, I don't know what rank he is.
	Now, the funny thing is, let's take a, we're going to listen to these talk radio guys.
	There's four big shots.
	Five, I'm sorry.
	There's Sean Hannity.
	There's Glenn Beck.
	There's Michael Savage.
	There's Rush Limbaugh.
	And there is, what's his name, the great one?
	Mark Levin.
	Well, what happened to Tom Hartman and Michelangelo Signorelli?
	Yeah, those guys aren't on the...
	They don't have the big audiences.
	I know.
	But these are the big five.
	All right.
	And they're the ones...
	If you look at Talkers Magazine, you look at the rankings.
	They're always mixing it up.
	Now...
	Only back, even though he claims in this little screed that you're going to listen to, or spiel, that everybody believes what he's about to say, even though I see no evidence of it.
	I think Limbaugh is pretty much on the fence.
	Michael Savage is pro-Trump because he thinks that they're...
	Well, they've always been friends.
	And he comes on the show all the time.
	And he also comes on Mark Levin's show.
	And Mark Levin never liked Trump at first.
	But I listened to one of these.
	I was going to come back from the post office.
	I don't get out that much.
	So I'm listening to Mark Levin, and he's going on about – this is like early.
	This is like months and months ago.
	He's saying, you know, I was noticing, he's got this weird voice, that he was noticing that the right-wingers and everybody are beating up on Trump in an incredibly, what he's perceived, as an unfair way.
	Name-calling.
	Right, right.
	You know, calling him names and belittling him and all this other stuff.
	And he started paying more attention and he started getting on Trump's side of things.
	And so he became, I think, I would say he's pro-Trump.
	And Hannity, who works for Fox, I think he's kind of pro-Trump, but he may be what Beck's talking about.
	Who ultimately do these guys, who are their uberlords?
	Because they're not just stand-alone, the guys who own all the power.
	I don't believe that for a second.
	I mean, we know Limbaugh has always been linked to the Bushes, always, very close, big friends, love you mean it, go to the ranch.
	Well, not as much as Hannity.
	Oh, he's even more a Bush fan.
	Oh, he's at the ranch all the time.
	I didn't know that.
	Yeah, Hannity is extremely a bushy.
	Limbaugh, you know, I think Limbaugh is a little more neutral than a lot of people like to believe.
	He's really a deconstructionist, too.
	Yeah.
	And he's at his absolute best, and I would recommend people listen to his show during the throes of an election where he can actually take things apart.
	Right.
	How about the seed guy?
	Is he on this list anywhere?
	No.
	No.
	He's a niche.
	He's got a niche market.
	Hartman's niche.
	The seed guy's niche.
	They're all niche.
	Beck is borderline niche.
	He doesn't really have the big numbers that these other guys do.
	But let's listen to Beck, who's...
	I don't know why he's so freaked out about Trump, but he's...
	Beck, I should also mention, if you want to deconstruct this a little more, Beck is perceived by especially Michael Savage as a charlatan and a scammer.
	And they've had these beefs.
	It's very interesting.
	There's more to this than meets the eye, even though these guys are all entertainers and there's too damn many ads on radio.
	But let's listen to Beck Go Off.
	This idea that Ted Cruz is the one in the wrong here is something that would only be perpetrated by someone who wants Ted Cruz to be in the wrong without any of the facts.
	I understand why Donald Trump is doing that.
	If Donald Trump wins, we are in as much trouble as a nation.
	Now, who's this speaking?
	Who was the other guy?
	Okay, the other guy.
	You have to remember, on Beck's show, there are three guys.
	Yeah, there's Beck, his sidekick, and the guest?
	No, Beck and his two sidekicks.
	Oh, okay.
	One of the sidekicks sounds exactly like Beck.
	The other one sounds like a high-pitched version of Beck.
	That is an old Top 40 DJ trick.
	Having your co-host sound very much like you so you can go do, you know, coke in the bathroom?
	And you can just put the next record.
	As we were, if not more than Barack Obama.
	And I know there are people that are going to just hate my guts for saying that.
	I'm sorry, this is my job.
	You pay me for my analysis with your time.
	You come here for my analysis and my honest look at things.
	I'm not getting rich by saying that.
	In fact...
	Yes, you are.
	You're a very rich man.
	It hurts me to say that.
	I'm the only one practically, practically...
	At least of the...
	I think in radio.
	In radio.
	National radio, this is it.
	This is it.
	That comes out and tells you truly what all of us know off air.
	And I'm coming out and telling you the truth because I have a responsibility to you.
	Oh God, does he at any point say anything except how great he is?
	Eventually, to tell you exactly what I believe.
	And I'm telling you right now, this is a gigantic mistake.
	If this country chooses Donald Trump, you are going to end up, I truly believe, with a monster much, much worse than anything that Barack Obama could have dreamt.
	He is the same narcissistic character.
	He is the same hope and change, make America great nonsense.
	He is the same I'll run it better.
	He is an administrator.
	That's not what America needs.
	He is a guy who gets vengeance and gets angry and teaches people a lesson.
	That's what we've hated about Barack Obama.
	You don't think that this guy with the tools of the IRS at his disposal will use it against his political enemy list?
	Let me ask you this.
	Do you think that Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush has a political enemies list?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Do you think that Donald Trump has an enemies list?
	He tweets it every day.
	Damn right he does.
	Me think if Beck is a little afraid of the enemies list.
	I don't know what the deal is with Beck.
	You could hear that other guy, the guy who sounds exactly like Beck, chime in at the end there.
	And it sounds like Beck's talking to himself.
	I didn't realize it was an old trick, but he's got two sidekicks and one sounds identical to him and the other one's got a high-pitched version.
	Beck was a top 40 DJ before he got into this.
	Yeah, he was.
	It's an old top 40 morning.
	Scott Shannon invented this whole idea.
	Want that kind of guy as your president?
	You will get everything you deserve.
	You will get everything you deserve.
	Now a word from our sponsors.
	And unfortunately, so will the rest of us.
	Just before we sum up, we'll get this in on Twitter, at World of Stu.
	Hey, Stu, Glenn, just wanted you to know that Christie was a former federal prosecutor.
	Thank you, I didn't know that.
	So that's just coming in now.
	Wow, thank you very much.
	I appreciate it.
	Sponsor of this F-hour is Goldline.
	I told you!
	Goldline has something brand new.
	It's the Royal Canadian Mint's first ever produced one-tenth of an ounce, 99% pure gold bullion legal tender bar.
	Buy some seeds while you're at it, too.
	Come on, man.
	How sad is that?
	That's why I said the thing.
	I know you did.
	I know.
	Because I wanted to get a little Goldline application.
	I know.
	It's so sad, but you can't take anybody seriously if they give you a big rant.
	And we'll be right back after this message from Goldmine.
	Goldmine.
	And it's not even a message.
	It's a billboard.
	He's doing an on-air read, fool.
	Meanwhile, here's what's going on in Trump world.
	My people are so smart.
	And you know what else they say about my people?
	The polls.
	They say, I have the most loyal people.
	Did you ever see that?
	Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters.
	So that's the quote.
	That is the quote.
	And I realize that when you read this quote by itself, it's creepy.
	But if you hear it in context of what he's saying, including the preamble, which is, you know, the people...
	So no mainstream headline has said...
	I'm doing so well.
	Man, it's a figure of speech.
	It's like you say, you do all kinds of things.
	I could stand naked at Times Square.
	That would not be a very Trump-esque thing to say.
	But listen to it in context of the 30 seconds where he said this is a little different.
	The people, my people are so smart.
	And you know what else they say about my people?
	The polls.
	They say, I have the most loyal people.
	Did you ever see that?
	Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters, okay?
	It's like incredible.
	No, they say, Trump, we love you too, man.
	Trump's voters are by far, you know, I'm at 68, 69 percent.
	I'm at 90 percent total.
	Like...
	Will you most likely stay?
	That gets into the 90s.
	Other guys are like a 10.
	A guy like Jeb Bush, he hasn't nobody, but he's like, I mean, like, they don't have people.
	They have nothing.
	Rubio, soft.
	They're all soft.
	All soft.
	My people stay.
	By the way, Cruz, soft.
	There you go.
	In context, like, eh, whatever.
	But he does this now.
	I went out of my way to listen to an entire Trump speech.
	Yeah, I do that all the time.
	Well, I don't listen.
	I'm talking about the hour-long ones.
	Yeah, it's very repetitive.
	He says the same thing.
	I rarely...
	That's exactly my conclusion.
	I think at this point, shills, who stand up right at the beginning and protest, and he kicks him out.
	That seems to be part of his format now.
	Well, here's my kind of conclusion about it.
	One, he's got about 30 minutes of material that he stretches.
	Yes.
	Yeah, I agree.
	And I think it's a problem.
	I think you should cut it down to the 30 because he starts the whole speech over.
	It's almost like he starts the speech again.
	And it's with the same anecdotes and everything.
	Yeah, it is.
	But, John, we know that this tactic works.
	Just keep repeating it over and over and over and over again.
	He definitely has talking points.
	He's got about 30 of them.
	It works.
	And he always starts off with things like, get rid of the teleprompters.
	Yeah.
	We don't need these teleprompters.
	I don't need teleprompters.
	Why does anyone need teleprompters?
	And he makes a point at the teleprompters, and he gets rid of them because he can talk.
	He doesn't need teleprompters.
	He does have notes, though.
	He keeps a little pile of notes, the talking point notes.
	And he gets rid of them.
	And they actually, the one I saw when he did it at Liberty University, whatever it is, they had the prompters up there for the guy to introduce them, and then he had them removed.
	And he does have about 30 minutes of material, and he repeats himself a lot, yes.
	And he repeats himself from speech to speech with different little sub-anecdotes, these little things that come and go, like the thing he did about Beck being a loser and a crybaby or whatever.
	That you won't hear, probably.
	It was interesting that Elizabeth Warren walked onto the floor, the House, the Senate floor.
	And I didn't clip it because it was 10 minutes of what we heard her say anyway.
	But what was interesting is that she said, oh, no, please, I want to.
	Can we just skip the quorum?
	Which I think means she just wanted to say something to posture for the camera.
	It didn't matter who was there.
	I believe.
	That could be.
	And, you know, it was like, oh, we're getting ripped off.
	But funny enough, a lot of what she said sounded a bit like the Trump agenda.
	But the only reason I bring it up is she's, to me, it's like she made a move.
	She made a move.
	It was a typical Warren speech.
	You go, yeah, hell yeah.
	Let's get rid of the assholes.
	Hey, they're ruining us.
	Get rid of those guys.
	But it was planned and planted by her.
	They still got my eye on her.
	Why else would she be doing it?
	You still got your eye on her?
	Yeah, because of you.
	I don't have my eye on her.
	I made the prediction and I was sticking with it.
	That's what I'm saying.
	I had my eye on her because of you.
	You have to give your eye on her.
	Yes.
	I respect you.
	I'm actually...
	Every once in a while somebody says, well, you think it's going to win it?
	I still say Elizabeth Warren.
	Instead, it just stops them.
	Stuff you won't hear in the news.
	That's right.
	It stops people in their tracks.
	I know.
	It's fun.
	And then I say, what?
	That can't happen.
	And I said, wait until the convention.
	Yeah.
	It can happen at the convention.
	The convention, anything goes.
	Yeah.
	We may actually have a real convention.
	Most of them are just rubber stamps.
	So after the convention, if somebody comes popping out of there named Hillary Clinton or whoever, then I drop the prediction, but no.
	Yeah.
	I'm still on point.
	As far as I'm concerned, everything's going according to plan.
	All right.
	Are you done with Trump?
	Because I'm kind of done with him.
	I think so.
	I'm done with him.
	All right.
	Let's move over to Hillary for a moment, just to get it all out of the way as we speak.
	So these emails, these new emails that were discovered, there's very little 3x3 coverage, as far as I can see on this.
	Very sparse.
	Very little.
	Very sparse.
	Now, I still think that this happened right at a moment when the president was about to do State of the Union.
	That's when we had all of a sudden these Iranian—we had our sailors in their boats.
	Engines conk out.
	They have no GPS. They've got their passports with them.
	They float into Iranian waters.
	They pick them up.
	They're released.
	And the news cycle covered over what happened here.
	And this is Brolf.
	With Hillary, I think?
	Yes.
	Yes, I think this is a one-on-one.
	And again, she's very demure, very quiet.
	I think there's a little gotcha in here that we have to listen to.
	Let me ask you about the intelligence community's inspector general who states that the emails on your private server contained what he describes as classified intelligence.
	One of your campaign spokesmen says the inspector general is not, quote, acting in good faith.
	Now, this is...
	Here's what's going on.
	The Inspector General, who's...
	And apparently there's more, but this Inspector General, McCullough, I think, has been overseeing what is going on with the State Department emails, with Hillary Clinton's emails, with the FBI, and apparently he's been leaking, quote-unquote, information to Republicans on the...
	on several Senate committees, and...
	The Clinton camp has accused this inspector general, which is not a good thing.
	You don't want to be accusing the inspector general of anything, because I think the inspector general has some power.
	Do you think they are not acting in good faith, the IG of the intelligence community?
	Well, all I can say is this, Wolf.
	Which is a performative meaning, whatever you're going to say doesn't have to be the truth.
	Yeah, all I can say is this.
	All I can say is this.
	She can probably say a lot more.
	All I can say is this.
	It doesn't mean you're saying anything.
	No, not at all.
	Well, all I can say is this, Wolf.
	I think it's a continuation of an interagency dispute that has been going on.
	Nice.
	Interagency disputes.
	We do love those, don't we?
	Oh, yeah.
	And in this case, it may indeed be...
	Between intelligence, could be CIA, and certainly FBI, as we'll hear in a moment.
	It has been going on, and that's not uncommon in our government when it comes to releasing information, as I requested that mine be released.
	It doesn't change the fact that I never sent or received any material marked classified.
	I do believe that these leaks which are coming out and being in some way misrepresenting and mischaracterizing what is going on are troubling.
	But the basic fact that no material marked as classified was sent or received by me has not been changed.
	Are they falsifying information?
	I hope not.
	You know, I really hope not.
	She didn't say no.
	I hope not.
	I hope I'm not doing anything illegal.
	I don't have any information to that effect.
	I want this to be resolved, and as the State Department has said repeatedly, I will repeat, I did not send or receive classified material.
	Now, that is an important thing, because when she repeats something like that, she's saying, I did not send or receive classified material.
	If you indeed look up the definition of classified material, It can be interpreted many ways.
	One way, which is the interpretation of going on, is it was not specifically Marx classified.
	And this latest example, the best I can determine, may turn on whether or not someone forwarded a New York Times article in the public domain.
	So there are a lot of unanswered questions that I would like to see resolved.
	Very.
	I would like to see them resolved.
	She's good.
	She's very, very good.
	She is good.
	She's good at that.
	That's about it.
	She's good at that.
	She's good at obfuscation.
	Now we have, this was a little, this was better.
	This is CNN. I did not have sex with that woman.
	Right, exactly.
	Depends on what you think the meaning of the word classified is.
	This is the national spokeshole for the Clinton campaign, Karen Finney, who I would not hire.
	You look at this, you listen to her, I would not hire this woman.
	I don't know why she's the big spokeshole, and even a little bit, I gotta say it, like Brooke Baldwin, who I like, but she's able to really go after her.
	From Bloomberg Views, Josh Rogan writing, quote, intelligence officials, even inspectors general, are not immune from politics, both internal and partisan, but Clinton's team simply cannot prove that McCullough is leaking against them.
	her campaign can only muddy the waters and delay until the FBI finishes its work.
	If the Clinton campaign decides then to go after the FBI, it will be picking a fight with an even more formidable opponent.
	This is about the latest, obviously, you know, the dump, the revelations, the above, the super top secret classification, and the thought from the campaign that this was a conspiracy.
	Your response to that?
	It's sort of questionable why that IG would then continue to selectively leak information to Republican members of Congress, who, frankly, have already said quite publicly that their goal in all of this is to take down Hillary Clinton.
	These were beyond top-secret emails.
	Why not?
	Well, no.
	This is the most revealing, apparently, than before.
	Some say these emails are innocuous, and remember that these are emails that, as the Secretary himself said, Well, that's one inspector general.
	There are others that disagree, and in fact, NBC News...
	Wow.
	So do you get to choose your inspector general?
	I don't know what that was about.
	Yeah, she's like, well, this inspector general is just one of many.
	Some say these emails are innocuous, and remember that these are emails that, as the secretary said, well, that's one inspector general.
	There are others that disagree, and in fact, NBC News reported yesterday, there are others in the intelligence community who not only disagree, but they themselves, and this is not us saying this, this is, you know, insiders from the intelligence community saying that this gentleman has, you know, unfairly targeted Hillary Clinton.
	So I think there are questions out there about...
	What would the motivation be for this Inspector General to do this?
	They've made it very, very clear that they want to take down Hillary Clinton.
	They have said that.
	I mean, they were very honest about it just before she went for 11 hours.
	But what is your proof for that?
	If you have asked for a review of information and that process is ongoing, why would you do anything to interfere with that or to distract from that?
	I understand your question, but with all due respect, what's the proof?
	Where's the evidence?
	With all due respect.
	The evidence is in the fact that we've continued to see this pattern.
	And again, the idea being, you know, they're trying to stir the pot and, you know, and that's fine.
	They can continue to do that, which is exactly what the secretary was saying.
	We're going to keep focused on winning in Iowa, winning in New Hampshire.
	Right.
	There's a couple things there I want to point out.
	Sure.
	One, when the woman said, this woman that you dislike, the Hillary campaign manager, whatever she is, she said, well, that's just one inspector general.
	Another inspector general disagreed, and then she bulldozed this Brooke woman, your CNN favorite.
	That's when Brooke just said, what other inspector general, and what did he or she say?
	Well, we're going to find out.
	I'm sure we'll find out soon.
	I'm sure.
	I saw this as Brooke trying to hold her own.
	That's what I said.
	She did a pretty good job.
	She tried.
	It's Brooke.
	Now, so when I take Clinton saying interagency rift, though it wasn't her exact words, but...
	The rivalry, whatever it is.
	Rivalry, squabble, whatever.
	Squabble.
	And intelligence.
	Intelligence, of course.
	You know, we know the CIA. And then I did a little bit of thinking and came up with this clip.
	Big news tonight on the Democratic side.
	A new report says Hillary Clinton's private email service contained highly classified intelligence from the most top secret of programs.
	This is the report that the intelligence community inspector general sent to leaders on congressional intelligence committees, according to a spokeswoman.
	You may remember Bernie Sanders saying in a CNN debate that the American people are sick and tired of hearing about her, quote, damn emails.
	The question is whether this will ever go away and also if Clinton can withstand a surge in the polls that the Sanders camp is enjoying right now.
	How big, Jeff, do you think a political problem this is for I think it's a huge political problem.
	I don't think it's a big legal problem.
	This is interesting.
	This is Toobin, the lawyer, who said, oh, this is not a big legal problem.
	He may be right, but...
	I don't think the FBI is going to wind up charging her with a crime.
	It is only a crime if you knowingly distribute classified information.
	And from everything we've been able to see, and we don't know all the facts, there is nothing with a classified stamp on it that she ever distributed.
	Handed out inappropriately.
	There's your legal definition.
	There is information that retroactively has been declared classified, but that's a very different thing.
	Still, this idea of using a private server was a terrible idea.
	She is paying a major political price.
	And until the FBI comes forward, which they may do, and says, we have closed our investigation, it is a festivities.
	And it's a big one and it doesn't go away until Jim Comey, the director of the FBI, says it does.
	That's right.
	Comey.
	Do you know Comey is a Republican?
	We never think about these things because he's director of FBI. But not only is he a financial world insider, he's Wall Street.
	The guy is Wall Street.
	He's so Wall Street that, and I get to say it now, he sent Martha Stewart to jail.
	Because, you know, don't send your actual guys on Wall Street to jail.
	No.
	Send somebody stupid.
	Some stooge.
	Yeah, that makes it look kind of like you're doing something.
	Yeah, it looks like you're tough.
	Yeah.
	But Comey specifically endorsed John McCain, specifically endorsed Mitt Romney.
	And now we have an interagency rift.
	I would think that the CIA would hopefully be on the President's side.
	Not necessarily.
	Not necessarily, but Brennan, you know.
	Brennan, yes, but the agency, no.
	Right.
	But now we have the FBI with 50 agents investigating the emails.
	And as Toobin just said, we have to wait to see what Comey says.
	If I were Hillary Clinton, I would not want the Jim Comey holding my future cards in his hand, or some future cards in his hand.
	Being a Republican, an insider...
	It could be like one of those deals that I've been predicting, which is how Warren's going to get in.
	As a quid pro quo, you know, I'll push all my delegates and everybody to you and the money if you stay away from the Clinton Foundation.
	And take into account that she did this thing all of a sudden, which gave her a nice 10 minutes of beautiful, crafted language in an official-looking setting, although there was no quorum, meaning not everybody was there.
	I don't know.
	Well, there's something going on.
	But the Comey thing is an excellent point that he's a Republican.
	And not just a Republican, an endorser of McCain and Romney.
	Yeah.
	How did he get picked in the first place if this is the case?
	What is Obama thinking?
	Well, to me, it goes back to his board seat at HSBC. He's this vanguard.
	I think it's the vanguard fund.
	The whitewashing of drug money through HSBC. God knows what this guy is into.
	God knows.
	Oh, it's kind of funny that there's still 7,000 documents the State Department has to hand over, and the court had said, okay, here's your deadline, and they sent a filing and said, well, we need more time, and also because of the storm.
	Oh, yeah.
	We couldn't get the documents because of the storm.
	Oh, okay.
	The storm just happened yesterday, so it's...
	Yeah, this was the storm.
	I mean, snowpocalypse.
	I want to add one more little variable into the pot, which is the commentary from ex, I guess, CIA or Defense Department.
	I can't remember.
	Now I lost track of what this guy did.
	Gates.
	Robert Gates was FBI. FBI, Gates.
	Gates comes out and says that there's evidence to indicate that the North Koreans, the Russians, the Chinese, and the Iranians all had a good look at Hillary's server.
	Yeah, which is not exactly what he said, I don't think.
	That's the way the headline went.
	Oh, of course.
	Yeah, of course.
	Well, if they did forensics on it, I'm sure they could see something.
	They have some log files and stuff.
	God, the logs and stuff's coming in from everywhere.
	It's out of control.
	All right, let's talk about snowpocalypse for a moment before the snow is gone and it's gone from everybody's mind.
	Because this was a little new with the state of emergency, certainly in New York.
	Like, if you're out driving in a car, you'll be arrested.
	You'll be arrested.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, after a certain time.
	As far as I know, they didn't arrest anybody, but there wasn't very few cars out there.
	But I'm watching CNN's wall-to-wall coverage of this, and it was very funny to contrast whichever reporter it was.
	Wait a minute.
	Is this the woman who was in the car going into the Lincoln Tunnel down the helix?
	No, I didn't see that.
	We have press plates, so we won't be arrested.
	And they go down the helix to the Lincoln Tunnel.
	You really know how traffic is going to be, depending on where you're backed up.
	It was completely empty.
	They go down.
	There's all kinds of cop cars.
	And no one's even looking at them.
	They are actually not looking at them.
	They drive through the tunnel.
	No one's there.
	It was like, where was all this?
	I don't know.
	It was nonsense.
	It was nonsense, yes.
	So they're at this woman standing there.
	It's snowing.
	And they already have maybe two or three feet of snow.
	And she's going, oh, the horror, the horror.
	And she's going on and on.
	And meanwhile, the scene behind her...
	It's all these families sledding and throwing balls at each other, rolling around in the snow, making snowmen.
	I mean, they're having the time.
	It's like New York City's having the time of its life.
	Yes, it's always great.
	And they get to go to their...
	Let's go to Times Square.
	They go to Times Square.
	Everybody's having the time of their lives.
	And the people on CNN are reporting it.
	It's horrible.
	It's horrible.
	They're getting pounded, pounded, I tell you.
	Pound.
	Perpounded!
	Everybody, there's the people with their, the cross-country skiers, they're going up and down the street.
	It's hilarious.
	This report, though, there was something that I caught, and then they went to split screen, because they went to, what's the guy, who used to speak to the nation, talk of the press, Russert, Russert.
	So, Tim Russert's kid?
	Yeah, Russert's kid.
	So they stick Tim Russert's kid out in the snow for like two days.
	Then his face is frozen.
	I think he's drunk, actually.
	But for some reason...
	If I'm not mistaken, he was grousing about his being stuck there.
	Yeah, this is where he's grousing about it.
	But interesting to me is they toss to him with this almost like a throwaway line and they have split screen of this video that was mentioned, which he doesn't refer to at all, doesn't talk about.
	Eventually, you just have to go to him full screen where he's grousing and sounding cold and drunk.
	Because everybody's having a ball in Manhattan.
	There's no cars around.
	You can wander around.
	Everyone's all bundled up, and they're going in and out of bars.
	Except Russert was in D.C.
	He wants to be in the bars.
	Russert was in D.C.
	Jacob Ruscon reporting there for us in Philadelphia.
	Jacob, thank you, sir.
	We also have a new video coming out of Washington, D.C., where the National Guard is patrolling the streets.
	NBC's Luke Russert.
	So that is kind of new.
	A snowstorm and the National Guard is patrolling the streets?
	I don't know why that was.
	And they had an in-car video of the National Guard.
	It was like a GoPro kind of stuck in the corner.
	So that's split screen and Russert doesn't respond to it at all.
	New video coming out of Washington, D.C. where the National Guard is patrolling the streets.
	NBC's Luke Russert is in Washington with the very latest on this.
	That's the fresh video that we're seeing right there.
	And Luke, it seems it's gotten a little bit worse since the last time we talked for you.
	Believe it or not, Thomas, I've been out here since Thursday when the preparations started yesterday when it was coming down.
	This is the worst it's been when we've been on air.
	The reason why the wind gusts are really picking up.
	I just checked on them when I was inside of a shelter, averaging about 30-35 miles per hour right now.
	And now the video's gone.
	No mention of the National Guard after that.
	Very strange.
	I think it's just poorly produced.
	Yeah, what else is new?
	Now, The Storm, of course, was fabulous.
	Fabulous for a number of reasons, because we get people like Chris Hayes.
	He's the right man, you know, right?
	Maybe we should play that again, because that's got to be one of my favorite ISOs.
	Is it Hayes with E-S?
	I think it is, isn't it?
	Yeah, I think so.
	Yeah, Hayes, right.
	Here we go.
	Let's just listen to him again.
	There's something, too, right?
	What you say is true, right?
	If this would be a huge risk, right?
	And that's clear to you, right?
	And here's this person who, frankly, in terms of the spectrum of American politics, would be something quite different.
	If Hillary Clinton can't beat that person in the primary, well, then she's not a very good political candidate anyway, right?
	I mean, from a pure electability standpoint, like, in some ways it sort of should cash out that way whether Jonathan Chait nudges it that way or not.
	Right?
	Right?
	No.
	Scientists announced today that 2015 is the Earth's hottest year on record since they've been keeping track about 160 years ago.
	Now, some might say it's sort of ironic to be reporting this news the same day that much of the East Coast is bracing for a major winter storm.
	But that very storm, which will be hitting the East Coast this weekend, is going to threaten a huge storm surge, part of which is due to a higher sea level due to climate change.
	2015 breaks the record set just last year, making it the warmest year since record-keeping began, and it's part of a disturbing trend we've seen.
	Here's how 2015 compares with the six other warmest years on record, and here's the overall trend since 1880.
	Scientists predict 2016 will be at least as warm last year or even warmer.
	Climate change is real.
	That's right.
	I think you did a whole report last year on the 2014 bull crap showing that 1997 was hotter.
	So was 86.
	And by their own documents.
	So I got this report, guys at NOAA, actually first at the National Weather Center, but there's a guy there from NOAA, the National Oceanographic Atmospheric Administration.
	And I thought we would check in with him.
	If you've been paying attention to the news at all in the last 24 hours, you're probably well aware that there is a big East Coast storm.
	But what about how it affects the larger weather patterns that we're seeing?
	And what does it mean for the rest of the year?
	Well, for that, the study from NOAA just came out.
	Warmest year on record.
	Does climate change play into any of this that we're seeing?
	Well, now, okay.
	Yeah, you're ready.
	Here's the official guy.
	Does climate change play into any of this?
	Does climate change play into any of this that we're seeing?
	Our warming is unequivocal.
	We've seen it especially very strong over the last 40 years.
	We were about 98% certain back in September that this would break the record for the warmest year.
	It's very possible we could break it again next year.
	We are continuing to warm.
	It is climate change.
	There are certain impacts from climate change that we're seeing right now.
	This isn't a climate change storm.
	There's no such thing as a climate change storm, just like there is no such thing as an El Nino storm.
	But what we do see is the trend for these kinds of storms.
	It is increasing through the years.
	So if I just understood him correctly, he says there's no correlation between the storm and the warming because there's no such thing as a climate change storm.
	There's no such thing as an El Nino storm.
	But we do see there's more storms.
	Right.
	Especially with El Nino.
	Ugh.
	Well, and this, of course, gives us an opportunity to open up the gate.
	To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gate.
	That's right.
	We go to Davos, Switzerland, where the elites are gathered.
	They've all flown there.
	I think there's 2,700 private aircraft off to Davos.
	And there we have our new spokeshold.
	This is so much like the Michael Crichton book.
	I forget the title, of course.
	State of Fear.
	State of Fear.
	Here we have our big Hollywood celebrity.
	Leonardo DiCaprio.
	Who is going to shill in front of all the elites.
	This is at their Crystal Awards.
	They have an award show at Davos.
	The Crystal Awards.
	Why not?
	Well, there's no better time than to spew the rhetoric of climate change upon them.
	Last month in Paris, world leaders reached an historic agreement that provides concrete framework.
	Who's this?
	This is Leonardo DiCaprio.
	He has a lisp?
	Yeah, I think he has a hair lip, actually, that he covers up.
	But I think.
	A lisp for sure.
	Last month in Paris, world leaders reached an historic agreement that provides concrete framework to reduce carbon emissions.
	This was an important first step, but we're a long way off from claiming victory in the fight for our future, for the survival of our planet.
	This is his big speech, John.
	He's very proud of this.
	The Paris Agreement was a call to action, but it's now up to all of us to build this progress with ingenuity and a commitment to change.
	Together we are fighting to preserve our fragile climate from irreversible damage and devastation of unthinkable proportions.
	Wow!
	That's some big words!
	Our fragile climate, John.
	Fragile.
	I've been traveling recently all over the world for a documentary about how this crisis is changing and natural balance.
	What?
	Movie plug!
	Yeah, it's his movie plug, and I'm sure he was not traveling commercial.
	Proportions.
	I've been traveling recently all over the world for a documentary about how this crisis is changing the natural balance of our planet.
	I can't wait.
	We should look this up.
	I'll look up the INBB. It was some thing in his mouth, like a retainer or something.
	That's possible.
	Because I've never heard this lisp this bad.
	And when I see him in the movies, he doesn't lisp.
	Yeah, I'll say that the transcoding of the audio gives it also a little bit of a slissy artifacts.
	Let me just see.
	There's a word for that effect.
	Yeah, shit sound is the word.
	Well, besides that.
	Let me just take a look at his IMDb.
	He must...
	Let's see.
	He wouldn't be in there.
	Has a lisp.
	I'm looking for his documentary.
	Has a lisp.
	Let me see.
	Delirium?
	No.
	Robin Hood Origins Live by Night?
	Well, we'll have to figure out what the name of that documentary is.
	In Greenland and in the Arctic, I was astonished to see that ancient glaciers are rapidly disappearing, well ahead of scientific models.
	Oh.
	In India, I met farmers.
	What?
	Sibilants.
	Siblings Who have seen their crops, their very livelihood Literally washed away by historic flooding There's no doubt to the world's scientific community That this is a direct result of human activity And the effects of climate change will become astronomically worse in the future I love that he just says the scientific community But not the science, the climate scientists But the entire science community Which is just factually incorrect
	Last week, President Obama told those who continue to deny the irrefutable science behind climate change that they will find themselves increasingly lonely in a swell of voices calling for action.
	Oh no, John!
	Oh no!
	We're in a swell of voices!
	Oh, they're in my head!
	Oh!
	They're saying, take action!
	Take action!
	Oh no!
	The voices, make them stop!
	But studies also show us that those who deny the reality of climate change will also find themselves less economically successful.
	We simply cannot afford to allow the corporate greed of the coal, oil, and gas industries to determine the future of humanity.
	Or of powered flight, such as your jet aircraft.
	Yeah, it's not running on electricity.
	You know, it's like listening to Sylvester the Cat.
	Woo!
	Yes!
	Fuck the oil, guys!
	Woo, yes!
	Those entities with a financial interest in preserving this destructive system have denied and even covered up the evidence of our changing climate.
	Enough is enough.
	You know better.
	The world knows better.
	History will place the blame for this devastation squarely at their feet.
	Uh-oh!
	Uh-oh!
	I guess no plaque for me.
	Damn it.
	Our planet cannot be saved unless we leave fossil fuels in the ground where they belong.
	20 years ago we described this problem as an addiction.
	Today we possess the means to end this reliance.
	Professor Mark Jacobson and a team of researchers at Stanford University have proven that we can meet the world's total energy demand by using existing renewable technology by 2050.
	To make that potential a reality, we need the collective will and conviction of political, business, and philanthropic leaders like all of you.
	This transition is not only the right thing for our world, it makes clear economic sense and it is possible within our lifetime.
	A shift of this magnitude will save nearly $42 trillion in global energy costs while creating 20 million new jobs.
	Over the last several years, organizations and individuals worth $3.8 trillion have already committed to divest their fossil fuel holdings and replace them with new investments in clean, renewable energy projects.
	And leaders like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos have already pledged to help build a zero emissions future.
	I ask you to join them.
	Because if we all do our part and act with bold leadership, we can achieve major meaningful progress.
	It is not only an inevitable transition, it is also imperative for the future of our planet.
	I guarantee you this.
	I guarantee you this.
	The Best Actor Award, Leonardo DiCaprio for the 2016 Oscars.
	No doubt about it.
	Well, you might be right.
	Of course.
	Yeah, we all love...
	He needs to do his little climate thing.
	It wasn't even interesting.
	And that's lisping, that sibilance was just over the top, but it may have been the recording.
	Part of it's the recording.
	He has a little bit of a lisp.
	Well, they need the de-esser.
	That's what it's called.
	Todd Stern is the U.S. Special Envoy for Climate Change, and he was at the Council on Foreign Relations, you know, the drinking club.
	Yet he got a rather inconvenient question.
	In March of 2015, Gallup took a poll, and 55% of Americans that responded were concerned about climate change.
	And also they asked a specific question on the survey.
	It says, do you think that global warming will pose a serious threat to you or your way of life in your lifetime.
	And in 2015, 62% of Americans said no.
	So I wondered how those numbers jive with what you're saying about increasing numbers of people believing in climate change and its effects.
	Okay, this is rather complicated.
	So the number of people who do not believe in climate change has risen.
	To 62% according to this journalist.
	How do we answer this?
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Well, so I'm not armed with poll numbers that I've looked at recently.
	But, look, I think that a lot of, I mean, here and everywhere else, questions like this depend enormously on what the nature of the question is.
	I guess he didn't ask the question right.
	And how it's phrased.
	I mean, for people to say they don't think it's a serious threat within their lifetime is completely understandable, given the way the issue is commonly talked about and understood in the press.
	So, I think if we were...
	You know, if you...
	What could he say at this point?
	I don't know why he's even talking.
	He should just shut up.
	If you're an election buff, actually, and you look at Real Clear Politics every day like I do, you'll see that there's a whole bunch of polls in New Hampshire, Iowa, this place, that place, and the line that's at the top in Real Clear is an average of a bunch of polls.
	So I think if you saw, if we did a sampling of...
	The whole point is, No answer.
	The polls aren't right.
	It has to be an average.
	These guys are losing in their mojo.
	Yeah.
	They had everything going on, but they're losing their mojo.
	It's mostly because, you know, you're outside freezing to death and some snowstorm talking about global warming.
	It's just people just, what the hell's wrong with this picture?
	Now, I do have one.
	I got a climate gate thing.
	All right.
	So we have this big gas leak that's down in California.
	Yeah, this is fabulous.
	I'm finding out more and more about it.
	I don't know why somebody just doesn't take a match.
	Well, apparently they can't do anything until end of February.
	Well, I don't know why that would be, but the problem seems to be...
	The thing is 8,000 feet down.
	That's where the real...
	And the rest of it...
	And this gas leak that's coming out of the hole is not coming out of the hole.
	It's kind of like leeching up, I guess, through the soil and 8,000 feet.
	And then belching out all over the place.
	And apparently people are starting to get ill now from...
	No, people have been getting ill.
	A lot of people moved out of the neighborhood.
	Now, generally speaking, this gas should just go up and it shouldn't really affect anybody on the ground.
	It's not heavier than air.
	Uh...
	And you can see the plume.
	It's just kind of going up.
	It's not helium either, so it doesn't just disappear.
	But it's interesting.
	And it's been there for a while.
	It's been going on.
	It's only recently when somebody did some infrared photography that they found this leak.
	And it's tons and tons.
	So here's the report on this thing that took place or is going on as we speak.
	And Jerry Brown decides to give his State of California speech and, for some reason, talks about global warming and all the rest of it.
	And despite this leak going on, he fails to mention it.
	So let's play this gas leak.
	In California, officials have doubled the impact zone of the uncontrollable methane gas leak in the Porter Ranch neighborhood of Los Angeles.
	It's being called the nation's biggest environmental disaster since the BP oil spill.
	Methane gas is a powerful greenhouse gas that accelerates climate change.
	California Governor Jerry Brown did not mention the leak during his State of the State Thursday, but he did speak about the need to address climate change.
	Thankfully, the rest of the world has heard the message.
	Humankind must change the ways and radically decarbonize the economy.
	The Paris Climate Agreement was a breakthrough.
	What a dick!
	That's all he had to say?
	Whoa.
	Supposedly the worst environmental disaster since the Exxon thing or the BP spill.
	This is the biggest climate disaster since then and he doesn't mention it and nobody's doing anything about it?
	Now what are the options here?
	Now can you smoke anywhere near this thing?
	I have no idea what the...
	Answer the question!
	I have no idea because I don't know what's really going on.
	It seems to me that with this stuff mixed with oxygen, you should be able to just light it.
	Yeah.
	And then it would be like a...
	It would burn it.
	And that would eliminate a lot of...
	But I think that initial ignition would be a doozy.
	Well, let's see.
	If it's going down 8,000 feet, it's possible the whole mountain could go.
	It sounds to me like they're flummoxed and don't know what to do.
	Well, on the other hand, how come it hasn't lit off already if it's so gassy?
	It mystifies me.
	Yeah.
	And I don't see, and to be honest about it, I do not see why somebody hasn't taken a, just some punk.
	We're talking about Los Angeles.
	We have a bunch of punks.
	Yeah, just go.
	One of them take a flare gun.
	Yeah, throw a firecracker out there.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, I don't think I'm going to be near it, so I think a flare gun's the way to go.
	You get a flare gun or exploding bullet, something.
	Yeah.
	And you get, you know, a quarter mile away and you shoot at the thing and, you know, just lob it in there with a flare and light that thing off and see what happens.
	How come it hasn't lit off by itself?
	Well, five facts to know about the California methane leak, just while you were speaking.
	So, methane, of course, main component of natural gas.
	The leak originated underground.
	It's an environmental disaster.
	Natural gas explosions.
	It's dangerous.
	It's dangerous.
	Yeah, we had a lot.
	Here we go.
	The methane leak could also be dangerous for people who live in Porter Ranch.
	Methane is highly flammable.
	Depending on its concentration in the air, it can also be dangerous to inhale methane fumes because methane can occupy the same place as blood cells that oxygen normally does.
	Symptoms of methane exposure include headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, weakness, loss of coordination.
	In serious cases, people may black out or die.
	Yeah.
	More than 2,000 residents of Porter Ranch, California, have been evacuated from their homes after people complained of headaches and nosebleeds.
	And it could take months to fix.
	Now, why does it take months to fix?
	Let's see.
	To stop the leak, the gas company said it plans to drill the relief well.
	Yeah, that's why.
	They have to drill a relief well.
	Why can't they cap this thing or do something and capture some of this gas and give it to the people?
	They are giving it to the people.
	They just didn't ask for it.
	Here, slaves, have some methane gas.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	You might die.
	Sucking in soot.
	You might die.
	We're sucking in soot.
	And with that, I want to thank you for your courage and your passion and say in the morning to you, John C. With a C stands for Capit Dvorak.
	And in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, and all the subs and dames and knights out there.
	In the morning, everybody in the chat room, no agenda stream.com.
	They've been hanging in there since we started late due to technical glitch.
	And you can always join in on Thursdays and Sundays at NoAgendaStream.com.
	Thank you very much to Cara P. Cara P. C-A-R-A-P, who brought us the artwork for Episode 7, 9, or 2.
	And this, of course, was the episode titled Buffoonery, and the artwork for that was The Joy of Jihad, which came to me later that we should have registered Jinder.com as the Jihadi Tinder.
	That's kind of where this came from.
	Jinder.
	Jinder.
	Yeah, we should have registered that because God knows.
	We could make millions on it.
	Another million dollar, millions and millions and millions.
	Another million dollar no agenda idea.
	Exactly.
	So we're working towards episode number 800.
	You had a nice feature for people to donate 800 pennies or 800 dimes or, of course, $800 for them.
	Actually, I'm looking at the spreadsheet.
	We got one, two, three, four.
	Four whole people who donated 800 dimes.
	Yeah.
	That's a big success, this idea.
	And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.
	Thirteen people who did 800 pennies.
	Oh, no.
	It doesn't matter.
	We just knocked them dead.
	I appreciate any donation.
	It's been a holiday week, and so we're trying to get over that.
	Yeah, it happens.
	At least we don't have to sell goldmine shit at the end of the show.
	Goldline.
	Yeah, whatever.
	We have three executive producers and an associate executive producer for show 793.
	And we want to thank them.
	Sir David Roberts in Norristown, Pennsylvania.
	$362.40.
	And he says, everything lasts forever.
	Keep it up.
	With greatest respect, David Roberts, Knight of the Yellow Rose.
	Mm-hmm.
	Pay it forward, it is what I was told.
	Pay it forward, it is what I was told.
	What does that mean?
	I think he meant pay it forward is what I was told.
	He just put in it there twice for some reason.
	Well, you know what?
	I'm going to give him a karma because he does come in as the highest today.
	Thank you.
	You've got karma.
	Our Knight of the Yellow Rose, Merci Buckets.
	Derby Dyke in Tucson, Arizona, $357.38.
	Shout out to Mary Sanatella.
	Hey, Mary!
	I'm doing the shout-out.
	Josh Starr?
	Josh!
	Stephen or Stephen Voorhees?
	Stephen or Stephen!
	Stuart Bradley?
	And Stuart Bradley!
	And some karma for the NOC. You've got karma.
	The National Olympic Committee?
	I guess.
	Or the Network Operating Center?
	Could be.
	Do let us know.
	Sir, sir, sir, sir, sir.
	Sir Robert Goschcom, Earl of Alberta.
	Sherwood Park there, up there in Canada, eh?
	$333.33.
	ITM, John and Adam, keep up the good work.
	Onward to show, 800.
	That's a whole lot of hitting them in the mouth.
	Can I get a Don't Eat Me Hillary, Almost Too Delicious to Believe, LGY Karma.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah, I think we can do that.
	We need the LGY. Here we go.
	Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton!
	It's almost too delicious to believe, my friend.
	You've got karma.
	What was that?
	That was a new one.
	That was different.
	Yeah, I like that.
	It was a whole bunch of little kids.
	And finally, on our short list, Tim Nonymous, of course, has nothing to say except I'm Tim Nonymous.
	That's right.
	Who came in with $234.56.
	He will be the associate executive producer for show 793.
	I want to remind people we do a show coming up next Thursday, and that will be show 794, getting closer to show 800.
	Dvorak.org slash NA is the place to go.
	Also a quick...
	Go ahead.
	And the guy who was sent to $600 and...
	Oh, didn't come back?
	No, he never came back.
	He got fed up with us.
	And they sent my money back, which we did appropriately.
	Yes.
	Reminder, we do have a couple of meetups taking place.
	We have one on the 30th of January in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
	Go to meetup.com slash noagenda to find out more.
	And as John said, we do have another show on Thursday.
	We need some help.
	And we need help in all forms and all ways you can do it.
	For instance, propagate the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Water! Order!
	Shots, ladies!
	Shut up, slave!
	You want to talk a little bit about the refugee situation?
	Yeah, we need to.
	For a number of reasons.
	Apparently Calais, where they have a huge encampment now, and it's got a name, like Death Camp or something.
	It's got a name.
	And these different documentarians keep going in there, and they keep getting beat up by teens.
	Yeah.
	And so it's become a place for punks.
	Now, at Calais, they have...
	So there's the...
	I guess what happened is they had a whole bunch of migrants storming the ferry?
	Yeah.
	Now, here's what I saw.
	I saw very professional signs and flags for the Communist Party of France.
	Oh, that would make sense.
	You know, the big, what is it, ANP, I think it is, NAP, National Anti-Capitalist Party.
	So a French Communist Party has been outfitting these guys at least with flags.
	Yeah.
	No clothes, no blankets.
	It's not very okay.
	No water, no cash, just flags.
	That's not okay.
	Well, I've got a couple of clips I want to play.
	One of them, both of these attack clips, but the one that got my attention, and you're probably trying to figure out why, is some Dutch documentarians and journalists were attacked.
	And there's a report on RT. Uh...
	Which one is it?
	Oh, okay, gotcha.
	Yeah, got it.
	Calais refugee camp dubbed The Jungle.
	Robert Edwards posted this message on Twitter.
	The Jungle.
	Nice.
	Saying that a group of teens pinned him against the wall and threatened him with a knife.
	Earlier we spoke to him on the phone about what happened.
	I was approached by a group of young men, of minors.
	I don't know if they were unaccompanied.
	There are many, many of them like that in the camp.
	They were clearly of the community.
	I was approached, at first they began asking me for cigarettes, and then they get close and they start trying my pockets, and I drive back away.
	And they push me against a wall.
	They draw knives.
	They have little craft knives, small blades.
	Eventually I manage to push away, and I run back towards the entrance to the camp, the motorway bridge there.
	I'm amazed by the number of unaccompanied minors, under 18s, who are here, who have gaps in their education, now are in freezing cold temperatures.
	It was minus 5 the other night.
	Their rights under the Convention and the Declaration of the Rights of the Child are being trampled utterly, so you can completely understand the frustration and the anger and the desperation they're going through.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Now, this was not the clip I wanted.
	The other one's the one I wanted.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm talking about the Dutch guy, but I do have to comment.
	This is the other clip.
	Mm-hmm.
	This was the liberal guy.
	So he's getting beat up.
	He says, oh, they're unaccompanied minors, and there's a violation of some crazy UN thing, and he's going on and on.
	To protect the child, of course.
	This was the liberal guy who is just seeing this all in terms of politics.
	Yeah.
	Unaccompanied minors.
	Oh, what are we going to do?
	I mean, this was an EU guy, you know, going on and on about, you know, there's these more controls.
	It's a fascist.
	You guys are a fascist.
	But the Dutch guy is the one that I think was more interesting for a variety of reasons.
	A few days ago, two Dutch journalists were attacked by knife-wielding migrants in Calais while filming a documentary.
	Hey!
	Kografer Koen-Wooten described to RT what he saw.
	Kografer Koen-Wooten, Kografer Koen-Wooten: While we were walking around at the edge of the camp, it was a day when people were moving their places because a zone of the camp will be evacuated.
	And suddenly, out of nowhere, three people jumped on me.
	I had not seen these people coming.
	I was not filming them.
	I don't know where they were coming from.
	And they suddenly jumped on me and the rest you can see on the video, it all went very quickly.
	And luckily some other people, two or three other refugees from the camp came to our rescue.
	It is very good!
	Are you waiting for me to speak in Dutch to you?
	I just...
	You're just what?
	You're just what?
	What will you now?
	What do you want?
	What want you?
	Ever since you started doing that voice, I doubt you cannot keep a straight face when I hear it from an actual Dutch guy.
	But I was not filming when it happened, but they tried to stick the knife in me, man.
	Shit, weet je?
	Yeah.
	So all kinds of actions taking place in the jungle.
	Now...
	The thing that I don't like about this story is that, oh, unfortunately, I wasn't filming.
	Well, they filmed it.
	Yeah, 40 seconds.
	He wasn't filming, but somebody was filming because they showed this Dutch guy, and by the way, it was the classic Dutch guy with the crazy hair and big beard.
	And he's a fat guy.
	And so they showed him beating the Dutch guy up, and the camera guy, the camera was running, and most of them, the guys came over and beat up the cameraman.
	But it was all shown.
	Well, the jungle is a crappy place, and this has been going on for the longest, I think, of all the camps, because these, I think now 5,000 or 6,000 in these camps, they've just been there, just sitting there.
	Oh, it's a mess.
	Yeah, I wouldn't go in there.
	Do you have anything else?
	Because I do have a few things we need to talk about in this regard.
	I'm done.
	Okay.
	So, here is what's happening.
	First we have...
	There was this 16-year-old German girl, and she did a rather long YouTube video, although it was not originally posted on YouTube, it was originally posted on Facebook, Where it was deleted.
	Now, as we know, Angela Merkel asked Mark Zuckerberg personally, and we have the audio evidence of this, when they were all in, I think it was when they were in Paris, and she's like, hey, are you going to work on this?
	Are you going to get rid of anyone who's saying hateful things about the immigrants?
	You've got to delete it.
	And he said, yeah, yeah, I'm working on that.
	And then this really went into effect about a week and a half or two weeks ago.
	So her video and her entire account was deleted.
	So this was reposted.
	Her account?
	Her Facebook account, yeah.
	Or it was put on suspension.
	So they took her whole account down?
	Yeah.
	I don't know really what happened because there's no forensics for me to track, but that's the story.
	Now, this girl, and actually, I went back and forth with our friend Ancilla about this, because she's highly skeptical of what's going on.
	And this girl is saying, we're afraid.
	She was giving examples of when she was harassed and how worried she is to go out even to the supermarket at 6 p.m.
	in the winter.
	It's dark at 6 p.m.
	at Germany.
	Germany is dead.
	Let's see.
	She said, oh, the youth in Germany now call Angela Merkel Fatima.
	Oh, that was kind of cute that they're calling her Fatima Merkel.
	And...
	What she consistently says in this video, this is something Ancilla pointed out, is, I can't believe these are refugees.
	Why would refugees ever act like this in a country that is here to help them, to host them, and we really want to do good?
	And I think she may be right.
	It may not be just specifically refugees.
	And this is...
	Agent provocateurs.
	Yes, and Sillo's point is it's agent provocateurs, exactly.
	And I have, well...
	There's some credence to that.
	The number one message coming out of Europe, and I have two separate reports, but pretty much the same report from both France and Germany.
	So here is the German report.
	Michael Groes is praying on his own today here in Berlin's Center for Jewish Students.
	Most other students only come here on Shabbat, the Jewish holy day.
	Groes is German, but sometimes he doesn't feel that he belongs.
	The existence of Jews in Germany is still something extraordinary, and I don't know when it will become normality, but I'm proud to live here as a Jew.
	Groes believes that Jews have to support each other in times like these.
	Anti-Semitism is on the rise in Germany, too.
	Anti-Semitic attacks increased last year by 10%, according to an organization citing unpublished government figures.
	Groes admits to feeling uneasy.
	I wouldn't say I'm afraid, but the spirit of anti-Semitism is in the air.
	Sometimes I feel uncomfortable wearing a kippah on the street, but I don't think you should let yourself be deterred if you want to wear one.
	Even if many Jews from other European countries are emigrating to Israel at the moment, Michael is adamant that he wants to stay in Germany.
	Okay, so there's the German report, anti-Semitism on the rise, coming from just people on the street.
	Jews don't want to wear their kippah.
	Or yarmulke, I guess as we'd say here.
	They're worried and they are moving away to Israel.
	Here's the French report.
	The ages are as varied as the backgrounds in this class.
	Students in their 20s or 40s from France or Russia all learning the same language, Hebrew.
	They are new immigrants to Israel, part of the largest wave of Jewish immigration from Western Europe to Israel since 1948.
	French Jews are leading that wave.
	Many have made their home in Ashdod, a city in southern Israel.
	Here, you are as likely to hear French on the streets as Hebrew.
	The cultural center here in the heart of Ashdod, right near City Hall, looks an awful lot like the Louvre.
	And across the street is Café Lyon, a popular meeting spot for the French community here in the city.
	Sitting here at this French cafe in Ashdod, it's quite stunning.
	All the conversations you hear around me are in French.
	The entire menu is in French, and on the window outside it says, in French, joie de vie, the enjoyment of life.
	And that's what French Jews like Charlie Dahan say they're looking for, a place to combine their old home with their new one.
	We've tried to preserve our culture here, he says.
	It's very important to hold on to that.
	When you've lived in a different country for 30 or 40 years, we bring our old culture with us and try to combine it with the new one.
	Reminders of why they left continue to this day.
	A Jewish teacher was attacked last week in Marseille in an ISIS-inspired attack, and the city's chief rabbi told Jews not to wear religious skullcaps, called akippah, on the French streets.
	According to the EU, the vast majority of French Jews avoid openly identifying as Jewish at least some of the time.
	Alright, that's problematic, and particularly in Europe, where we've been through this.
	Whatever happened to never again?
	I would say that the German Chancellor, Fatima Merkel, has taken this to task.
	She has a video podcast, so you know.
	She said, particular vigilance is necessary regarding young people who come from countries where hatred of Israel and Jews is widespread.
	She called for intensive action against the anti-Semitism, urging vigilance, particularly regarding young people from countries where hatred of Israel and anti-Semitism is widespread.
	Now, before we talk about that, Just a couple things that are in the news that related to this.
	There is a call in Germany.
	Let me see, who was it that said this?
	This is the Muslim Stern Group.
	Is that it?
	Yes.
	We're saying, if Germany wants to prevent further sex attacks...
	This is on Facebook, so who knows how big this group really is.
	Then Germany must ban alcohol, because obviously that's something that doesn't jive well with the immigrants.
	And women should not be wearing perfume, because that's like just throwing the raw meat in front of the wolves.
	And this is from this Muslim group themselves.
	In Sweden, there was just a case around a 22-year-old Bosnian man who could not prove that he had a driver's license.
	Because he couldn't get the paperwork.
	He didn't have the original paperwork from wherever his home country was.
	I'm being persecuted.
	So they've changed the regulations now that you have up to 12 months grace period if you're caught in Sweden driving without a license.
	If you're an immigrant, then they'll give you 12 months to either find it or to take a test.
	Well, you get to drive around just 12 months whether you have a license or not.
	Make them take their test immediately.
	Yeah, sure.
	You got one week.
	I know.
	This is pissing people off.
	The BBC, though, the BBC have this article, which is, you should read the whole thing.
	It's Teaching Migrants How to Behave, and this is about Finland.
	And then again, I want to implore everyone to watch Lillehammer, the first season, which of course not Finland, but Norway, and you'll see how these, what really goes on in these refugee centers and how strange the cultural clash is.
	Migrants arriving in Finland are being offered classes on Finnish values and how to behave towards women.
	Concerned about a rise in the number of sexual assaults in the country, the government wants to make sure that people from very conservative cultures know what to expect in their new home.
	So in Finland, Johanna says, who's one of these teachers, you can't buy a wife.
	A woman will only be your wife if she wants to be, because here women are men's equals.
	This is what has to be taught.
	Her pupils all recently arrived asylum seekers at this reception center hidden away in the snowy depths of the Finnish forest.
	Some speak English, some passable, and he goes on to say, one man hunkered down inside his black ski jacket seems to be taking notes while there's a faint smile on the lips of the only head-scarfed young woman in the room, of course.
	Quote, but you can't go out to the disco with a woman here, adds Johanna.
	But you can go out to the disco with a woman here, she said, although remember, even if she dances with you very closely and is wearing a short skirt, that doesn't mean she wants to have sex with you.
	A Somali teenager pulls his woolly hat over his ears and cradles his head in his hands as if his brain can't cope with all this new information.
	Damn.
	This is a very liberal country, he says incredulously.
	We have a lot to learn.
	In my country, if you make sexy with a woman, you are killed!
	He turns to his neighbor, a Malian man of a similar age, to gauge his reaction.
	It's quite amazing, the Malian nods.
	In my country, a woman should not go out without her husband or brother.
	Joanna now turns her attention to homosexuality, and the Iraqi man on the back row, it's always the back row, begin to giggle and snicker.
	So, this shows you, in very clear terms, that there is a cultural difference that is troubling.
	Is this a shock to anybody?
	Yes.
	Yes, it is.
	People did not understand that.
	I can see it being a shot to the Brits.
	Now let's look at the agent provocateur angle.
	Because the one that immediately comes up, because we know what we didn't get.
	We didn't get, hey, women are being accosted.
	That was held back.
	It was partially covered up.
	It was not reported.
	Oh, we're sorry.
	We should have reported that.
	But what we do get large pieces on is anti-Semitism.
	With no counter-reporting on the people who supposedly are anti-Semitic.
	I'll point that out.
	These pieces did not show any migrant saying, oh yeah, we hate the Jews.
	So, no matter what is happening, whether it's a genre provocateurs, whether there's some angle being played with the anti-Semitism vibe, I think the end result is the same.
	screwed.
	Well, can you back this up and tell me what the point of this is?
	You brought a lot of stuff out.
	She insinuated.
	I don't want to blame her, but she insinuated.
	I blame her.
	She insinuated she feels that it's possibly a Zionist move.
	By bringing all this to the forefront and really trying to make the immigrants look like total crap for something to happen.
	And the best way to do that is once you bring in the Jews with anti-Semitism in Europe...
	Well, by your theory, they should be bringing in the gays more.
	Well, that's by the BBC's...
	Well, maybe they'll be next.
	Maybe they'll be next.
	In fact, I'm shocked that we haven't heard any reports of gay bashing and beating people, beating gays up.
	That is a missing piece of what should be a more concise puzzle.
	Yes, so if we look at the puzzle, we know that Turkey doesn't care.
	Someone wants to ruin Europe, because that's what's happening.
	Russia?
	I don't know.
	Well, Russia did have a relationship with Turkey previously.
	They cut that down.
	I had a bunch of clips about that.
	I do have one clip that kind of discusses the Russians' angle in here.
	Not about that particular thing.
	But I would say Russia in Davos.
	This is a short clip of a lot of a longer series of clips with everybody complaining constantly about the sanctions.
	Where is the clip?
	I don't know.
	I'm looking too.
	I got it.
	Sanctions.
	So, before we play this, maybe we should just be on the lookout for the next level, which would be, as you point out, bring in the gays.
	That would be the next piece that would start to solidify that there's more going on, that there is some agenda, and it's not just a horrible migration pattern that is ruining the world, but there may be something...
	What's happening with this?
	It's contributing to growing fears of another 2008-style global crash.
	Russia's been hit perhaps hardest of all.
	It has the added burden, of course, of sanctions, Western sanctions, but growing numbers of Western business chiefs we spoke to have fed up with such political interference getting in the way.
	I see a couple of CEOs of major German companies in this room.
	They would love, and I have great sympathy for that, they would love to see the sanctions ended rather today than a year from now.
	And there is no enthusiasm at all about the sanctions.
	Of course, all these problems are affecting the billionaires here directly.
	They're losing millions from the sanctions and the market meltdown as well.
	They tell me they want to move on and take advantage of the low share prices at the moment.
	Many say now is exactly the right time to invest.
	Kind of is.
	Yeah, it is.
	Just as an aside, I would like to find out if the last edition of the CBS show Elementary, which is a Sherlock Holmes set in New York or something story.
	Someone sent me a clip about that.
	Is that what you're referring to?
	Holy crap!
	It was like all no agenda.
	Did you clip it?
	No, it's nothing to clip.
	It was the entire show.
	Oh, someone sent me a clip of something that was really relevant about that.
	They talked about the Russian rockets, the rocket motors, and some scam to build some local motors.
	It was a complicated story that had nothing but the stuff we talk about and done right.
	It wasn't like a screwed up mess.
	It was very well written.
	I have one quick clip from it.
	Let me see.
	I think this will do it.
	Oops.
	Where are we?
	Yeah, one of our producers sent this in.
	The Ukrainian government was being framed.
	This suggests a third party who wants to keep the war going.
	Now ask yourself, who profits most in times of war?
	Arms dealers.
	Weapons are one of the United States' most profitable exports.
	And indeed, American ethnic communities have a long tradition of sending weapons to their war-thorn homelands.
	Let me guess, what's happening with Ukraine, too?
	The Ukrainians have even gone so far as to send dedicated fundraisers to the United States.
	I just got off the phone with someone who gave me a list of American arms dealers most active in the Ukrainian conflict.
	And it goes on.
	Yeah.
	Actually, if anyone can get a hold of that thing, the whole show is, like, beautiful.
	Very well done, and well plotted.
	Check this out, John.
	So, Angela Castaneda sent me the link to DiCaprio's documentary.
	Yeah.
	Green World Rising.
	But now check this out.
	It's greenworldrising.org.
	Supporting partners, Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, Tree Media Foundation, the Mangrove Foundation, and then CTX, the Carbon Trade Exchange.
	Oh, really, Leonardo?
	Are you sure it's not CTX, the railroad?
	No, that's CX. CTXglobal.com, and that's what he's promoting.
	The Carbon Exchange.
	The Carbon Trade Exchange.
	They never give up.
	It's a scam.
	It's unbelievable.
	It's a scam.
	If you want to cap and trade, can we say it again?
	Yeah, just cap.
	If this is such a disaster, all this carbon in the air, why do you want to do this cap and trade?
	You want to trade?
	We're going to keep pumping it out, but we're going to trade with somebody in Venezuela because they have a forest.
	And then, of course, somebody gets a little piece of the action.
	I mean, Leonardo DiCaprio, he's the successor to Al Gore.
	Check it out.
	Carbon Trade Exchange was founded in 2009 to operate spot exchanges in multiple global environmental commodity markets, including carbon, renewable energy certificates, and water.
	Or are you going to be trading water?
	The commercialized technology platform that we operate allow us to cover the various products that exist within multiple markets and provide an exchange by which sellers and buyers are matched in a secure and efficient manner.
	John, this is it.
	They finally got it out.
	M. DiCaprio is spearheading it.
	Who are the board members of this thing?
	Let's take a look.
	Baden Wright.
	Don't know him.
	Wayne Sharp.
	No.
	Nathan Rockcliffe.
	These are lawyers.
	Lawyers, lawyers, lawyers.
	Traders.
	Lee West.
	Wall Street.
	That's just the board.
	Maybe management or something.
	But this is...
	There's a board of advisors.
	I'm looking at the...
	Now, there's no names I recognize.
	It's just a financial thing.
	Here, products.
	What do they have under products?
	Oh, my God.
	RGGI Vintage 2015 CO2 Allowance Spot.
	It's an investment vehicle.
	Yeah.
	Verified Carbon Units.
	Verified emission reduction, which is also a carbon market.
	But then they have the water entitlement market, the water allocation market, all being traded.
	The trading with the Earth's stuff.
	Unbelievable.
	Something sick about it.
	It's very sick.
	That'd be a clip of the day.
	Yeah.
	It always happens to me.
	It'd be a clip of the day if we had a clip.
	There's no clip.
	No.
	I wish we had a trailer of his documentary.
	That would be...
	Oh, films.
	Maybe.
	What is this?
	Restoration.
	Green World Rising.
	So this would be it, I guess.
	Let's see.
	Is that a video?
	Yes.
	Oh, luckily.
	Let's go.
	The scientific community has spoken.
	Climate change is happening now and is caused by human activity.
	Fossil fuels, black oil, coal and gas have created modern society as we know it.
	But when burnt into the atmosphere, Carbon causes climate change, but it doesn't have to be this way.
	We have the solutions, and we must move quickly to implement them.
	Human ingenuity working alongside Earth's natural systems is building a new world that is sustainable and self-reliant.
	We're all going to die!
	The sun, wind, and waters, we can move away from our dependence on fossil fuels.
	Okay.
	Well, I'll have to look at that.
	There'll be clips from this on Thursday's show for sure.
	Thanks, Angela.
	Dynamite.
	Play the Howard Dean scream.
	Do we have that?
	Do an eclipse.
	Ah, we do.
	Okay, maybe I should do a combo.
	It's really nothing compared to what's going on today.
	No, it's...
	It's still good, though.
	I think we should do...
	Maybe we should do a combo deal.
	It's like...
	We're all gonna die!
	Yeah, that would work.
	Actually, our scream, that super good scream, where's that?
	That's the one you want to play.
	Okay, right.
	With Howard Dean before it?
	Yeah, Howard Dean and we want the no scream, right?
	Okay, here we go.
	Let's try this again.
	Production, while you're ready, ladies and gentlemen, we do it for you on the fly.
	Here we go.
	Nice.
	That's a scream.
	Now you're talking.
	All right, let's play this.
	Let's catch up with a couple of international things.
	Iran is one of them.
	Ah, yes.
	Here is the grand leader of Iran talking about where the future lies once everything is pulled.
	There's no more sanctions.
	Tourism!
	Tourism!
	International sanctions have been lifted on Iran after the UN atomic watchdog found it had complied with a landmark nuclear deal.
	Well, the news will see billions of dollars of Tehran's assets unfrozen and an end to crippling bans on its oil exports.
	But even before diplomats signed on the dotted line, firms had been flocking to Tehran for business.
	Valérie Anne Gauthier and Rochelle Harrison-Pless report.
	Now that the ink is well and truly dry on Iran's nuclear deal, President Hassan Rouhani promises an economic boom for the country.
	Iran's leader presenting Parliament with the proposed annual budget, the first post-sanctions.
	The lifting of sanctions will lead to a significant economic upturn for the country.
	To achieve a growth rate of 8%, we must attract between 30 and 50 billion dollars in foreign investment every year.
	Iran is in recession, with a growth rate of around 0%.
	But an end to a long-time embargo opens the door to Iran's return to the global market, as Tehran recovers billions of dollars in frozen assets and gains access to international financial systems.
	With the lifting of sanctions, we can receive payments more easily.
	There'll be a swift I-ban system in place, and we can accept credit cards.
	That's really important for the tourism industry.
	Tourism, built on the heritage and cultural splendors of the Persian Empire.
	The government's aim, to roll out the carpet for 20 million tourists between now and 2025.
	Several hotel groups, such as Accor, have prepared for the spike in visitors and locked in lucrative contracts.
	The French brand has already opened two hotels near the new airport in the Iranian capital.
	Yeah, I'd like to go.
	Yeah, me too.
	That'd be great.
	Cuba and Iran.
	And North Korea.
	North Korea at the top of the list.
	Yeah, of course.
	I had a little piece on Iran from Kerry about...
	We know him.
	He's a douche.
	But what's going to happen with all that money?
	So even if it's the least worst outcome, but just to put a fine point on it, do you believe that any of that $55 billion ends up in the hands of tariffs?
	I think that some of it will end up in the hands of...
	The IRGC are of other entities, some of which are labeled terrorists.
	To some degree, I'm not going to sit here and tell you that every component of that could be prevented, but I can tell you this.
	Right now, we are not seeing the early delivery of funds going to that kind of endeavor at this point in time.
	I'm sure at some point some of it will.
	Okay.
	Terrorists will be getting the money.
	Fine.
	Can this bitch run the country?
	No, he cannot.
	Don't let him.
	The El Chapo arrest had...
	I have no El Chapo news.
	Yeah, well, this is...
	It's been bubbling for a couple of days.
	This is the report that I picked up almost a week ago.
	Mexican police raided Joaquin El Chapo Guzman's home two weeks ago.
	Inside, they found a handgun and eight rifles, including a.50 caliber Barrett sniper rifle.
	The $13,000 weapon is designed to stop a vehicle, penetrate armor, or bring down a helicopter with a single shot.
	According to federal sources, an ATF trace matched that weapon's serial number to a master list of some 2,000 guns sold through Operation Fast and Furious, U.S. government's sting operation that inadvertently funneled thousands of weapons to the Sinaloa cartel.
	House Oversight Chairman Jason Chavitz and fellow Republican Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley are writing a letter Wednesday demanding the ATF turn over the serial numbers of all of the weapons found in El Chapo's possession.
	So Fast and Furious had kind of dropped off the radar.
	Yeah, because they can't make a case, and the Justice Department under Holder would refuse to turn anything over.
	And our theory, of course, is not a theory, but was brought out in a testimony in the Chicago courts of a Sinaloa guy.
	Yeah, there was a deal.
	The whole thing was rigged.
	Fast and Furious was just a gun-running operation that we were working with the Sinaloa cartel with.
	Here is White House spokeshold Josh Earnest with his response to the situation.
	As I'm sure you saw, the ATF has reportedly identified a.50 caliber rifle that was found in El Chapo's hideout.
	I'm wondering, the administration frustrated to, from the Fast and Furious program, is the administration frustrated to again see weapons from this program show up at crime scenes?
	John, I can tell you that I've seen those reports.
	I haven't actually been able to confirm them independently, so let me take a look at that.
	Yeah, I'm sure you'll rush right over and take a look at that.
	More generally, we've been quite concerned about the ease with which arms tend to flow across the border between the United States and Mexico.
	We've gone to great lengths to work with the Mexico government to try to shut down the flow of arms back and forth between our two countries.
	What a liar!
	What a horrible liar.
	And this came up in a hearing on the Hill with our country and western attorney general, Lynch.
	I served previously in the House of Representatives in the Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
	It was part of the committee when we went through the subpoena process to ask your predecessor for additional documents for the Fast and Furious investigation on guns.
	Those were delayed to us.
	Privilege was announced on that.
	As of yesterday, a court has told the Attorney General's office that those documents need to be turned over by February the 2nd.
	I need clarification.
	Will all those documents now be released to the Oversight and Government Reform Committee by February the 2nd, as per the judge's order?
	Well, thank you for the question, Senator.
	We did receive that ruling yesterday.
	We are still reviewing that ruling.
	I am aware of that provision.
	We, of course, want to study it carefully and determine what appropriate steps to take and the timeliness of them.
	But I can certainly assure you that we will be either responding to the committee or to the court at the appropriate time.
	So you're not saying yes or no whether those documents will be turned over in time?
	Clearly they've been collected for years.
	If we'll pursue any additional legal action, we have not made that decision.
	If we had, I would let you know.
	And since we have not, I'm not able to give you that information at this time.
	Do you know when that answer will come back out?
	We will let you know, certainly within the time period that you just mentioned.
	Shut up, slave!
	Exactly.
	We'll have none of that.
	We'll have none of that.
	If I were a cynical guy, You'd think that the future of this country depends on who can manage the drugs the best.
	And I think the Obama administration did pretty well with the guns and helping the drugs get out.
	Yeah.
	Helping the Sinaloa cartel kill people.
	Mm-hmm.
	And letting Guzman out a few times and then catching him again.
	It's like, can't you, you know, take a hint, Guzman, and take off.
	Go to South America.
	Now, the go-to people, of course, for drug running are the Clintons.
	If you look up Mina, Arkansas...
	And do that through a proxy, so you don't get a visit from Hillary.
	Do it through a proxy.
	Do yourself a favor.
	Mina, Arkansas.
	Allegedly, the Clintons were running the drugs for the Bushes, just to make it even crazier.
	So the person who would be most suited to be President of the United States has got to be Donald Trump, because he wants to regulate the trade.
	That's what his big wall and door is about.
	The beautiful door is to sanction and get stuff through that we want to have come through and have it a little more organized.
	And with that comes HSBC's Comey.
	It's pretty unorganized the way it is now.
	Yeah, it's very unorganized.
	That stupid fast and furious thing.
	I mean, come on.
	That's not a good way to handle it.
	No, now they're under investigation and they have to keep lying to the public and to the Congress and Congress is too wimpy to do anything about it.
	Now, we could also say it would be great if we had Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush running against each other, which was the initial idea.
	Before Trump came in and ruined it all.
	Yeah, that's a no-lose situation.
	Yeah, then whoever gets in will run the drugs properly.
	And people can think that, you know, I'm a crazy crackpot for saying this, but there's enough evidence.
	There's enough evidence.
	But not for saying this.
	No.
	Drugs come into the country, and they're coming mainly from Mexico, for sure.
	For sure.
	So, anyone who's against the wall, eh...
	But those who are for it and want a beautiful door, yeah.
	So that to me, and Trump has a background.
	Even though the mob, they try to stay away from drugs.
	Liquor and stuff and that kind of stuff.
	Oh, it's a myth?
	I know, it could be.
	But maybe I'm just cynical.
	I don't know.
	We do have a new army secretary coming in.
	Is he the new Joint Chief of Staff or his new Army guy?
	This will be the new Army Secretary.
	Okay.
	And he's already been acting as the Army Secretary.
	Okay.
	And this was during his confirmation hearing.
	He was asked about the battle to degrade and destroy ISIS. Have a listen.
	Tell me if you notice anything peculiar about him.
	Ostensibly, and you were in the administration at the time, the reason why we couldn't leave a sustaining force behind in Iraq at the time of the withdrawal was because we didn't have a status of forces agreement, so therefore it would be impossible for us to leave ISIS. There's McCain doing his typical thing like,
	whoa, how can we be there if we don't have the right to be there?
	I find that curious.
	Let me ask you a fundamental question.
	In Iraq and Syria, in the battle against ISIS, which is now metastasizing, at least to the degree where we are going to have to attack ISIS in Afghanistan, among other places, are we winning?
	Mr.
	Chairman, I think it's too early to tell.
	We clearly are putting a lot of pressure on ISIS, but they're also showing that they can put pressure on us, and they're not contained.
	But I do think we're making progress recently.
	Open source reporting of 6,400 ISIS fighters killed in the last three months.
	We've disrupted the supply route between Mosul and Raqqa, taking back Sinjar and Ramadi.
	But a great deal of work needs to be done.
	I do believe it's a long fight.
	No, nothing about the oil.
	The oil going to Turkey, what about that?
	Did McCain say anything about that?
	What's interesting about this guy is...
	Oh, wait.
	Did his buddy, his pal, Lindsey Graham, come up and start asking the following kinds of questions?
	Do you agree with me when I say this?
	Do you agree with me when I say this?
	Did he come out and do that?
	No, no.
	But he is a member of the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund.
	This guy, our new Army Secretary, is gay.
	Oh, I thought you meant Lindsey Graham.
	No.
	Well, Lindsey Graham's totally gay.
	Hell yeah.
	Yeah, I'd never heard of this guy.
	And he was, let's see, he was Deputy Secretary, I think.
	I don't know.
	Well, you know, these secretaries, which are the guys who really run those, not the Joint Chiefs guys, but they actually run stuff, you mean?
	They report to the secretary.
	The secretary is the one who's the boss.
	Yeah, they make stuff happen, for sure.
	For sure.
	And they're all political.
	Many of them aren't even military.
	Well, before we thank the people...
	Well, wait.
	Since you brought a topic up, I do have a clip that I want to play.
	Because you mentioned they were talking about degrade and all this term.
	We have a term called rebelize.
	Yes, we do.
	I ran into a British analyst that was on one of these obscure shows, and he has another term, which is a longer version of our Rubble Eyes, but see if you can pick it up in this clip before we go to the rest of the announcements of the people who helped us.
	This is a key clip on Kurds.
	...worries about demands for independence from its own Kurds and from the Syrian Kurds.
	So I suspect there will be no independent state actually recognized internationally, but Turkey, U.S., Britain will kind of make these noises to egg them on and spur them on to continue with their divide and ruin strategy that they're employing against Iraq and the other countries in the region.
	Oh, well, yeah.
	Yeah, perfect.
	I think we did it.
	Divide and ruin?
	Yeah, that was it.
	It was in there.
	Divide and ruin strategy.
	Beautiful.
	I'm writing it down.
	That's a good one.
	Divide and ruin strategy.
	As soon as I heard that, I said, oh man, that's a good one.
	I mean, it's not as kind of apocalyptic as Rubble Eyes, but it's probably the term that's used internally.
	Divide and ruin.
	That's exactly what we're doing.
	It's another show title right there.
	Yeah, I'm looking at it as such.
	I think that we can settle our dispute once and for all.
	We have a dispute?
	We have a small dispute, you and I. Okay.
	Do you know what the dispute was about?
	I have no idea.
	Well, you wrote a whole column about it, so...
	I probably did.
	Yeah.
	About Google's self-driving car.
	Oh, yes.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	So I think I can prove that it will not happen in our lifetime.
	What exactly was the bet?
	I said, we won't see it happen in our lifetime, and you said we will.
	Yes, something like that.
	There's a dollar.
	And you stick by your prediction?
	Yeah.
	Well, I can prove to you that it's not going to happen.
	Proof, proof, proof.
	You've got to be thinking about the future, not just the past.
	And that's what you're doing here in Detroit.
	You're not just making cars that people want today.
	You're thinking about cars that people are going to want tomorrow.
	When I was over at the auto show, I saw plug-in hybrids and electrics and fuel-efficient cars that can protect our planet, save people money at the pump.
	You're working on self-driving cars that one day could prevent accidents and save lives.
	This year, my administration is going to take steps to get more of those cars on the road.
	You can take that to the bank.
	There you go.
	It'll never happen.
	Because he promised it.
	It's never going to happen.
	We need more driver assistance stuff.
	That's a great idea.
	Why is my car not communicating with the traffic system?
	Maybe it is.
	You sound like Ford.
	Like Henry?
	No, Ford Motor Company.
	What you're saying is exactly what they're always feeling.
	What are they saying?
	Just what you just said.
	We need more inner car communication.
	Cars talking to each other and cars talking to the driver.
	Yes, I agree with that.
	Imagine this.
	Just for a second.
	These cars already, you know, all modern cars do what Tesla does, you know, give you a little jolt on the wheel saying, hey, you're getting off track, you know, but I'm sure every car could easily be converted to if you really want the automatic driving thing.
	You know, if someone stops short in front of you, it stops as adaptive cruise control.
	But what if I could make a deal, you know, with I'm driving to work, but I said I'll take a longer route and then I'll sell my spot in the quick route to someone else who can take it.
	There's a million things we can do, but this going driverless is stupid.
	Well, that's funny you should bring any of this up because there is a moment which I was thinking about.
	We're going to do tech news.
	We can do it right after the break.
	You want to do it after the break?
	Okay, but it's going to be talking about cars.
	Cars and one other topic that I have.
	Okay.
	I'm going to show myself a little by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	Hit the gong!
	Hit the gong!
	That was the bell pushed up against the gong's frame.
	There you go.
	Alright.
	We do have a few people to thank for show 793, which is seven shows away from the famous show 800.
	How many people can do that?
	Let's start with Jonathan Helper in Charlotte, North Carolina, who came in with $150.62.
	He does have a red line thing here, so he needs a douchebag call out for an unknown executive of the Bank of America.
	Douchebag!
	I'm going to give the whole bank a douchebag.
	Sure!
	Douchebag!
	This past Saturday, they nagged every person in line for wanting to interact with the person instead of using their ATM. Oh, that's funny.
	It's sad to see people following orders that could eliminate their own jobs.
	I'm sure the individual responsible for this customer service fiasco is not donating to the show.
	Well, I'm sure he doesn't even know about the show.
	Bank of America, they don't care.
	Dagger Love, Hamilton, New Jersey, $138.
	Alex Simkus, by the way, Dagger Love, great name.
	That is a great name.

	Dame Klein, Astrid, Duchess of Japan.
	Dame Astrid, Duchess of Japan.
	$88.88.
	She says, no agenda forever in Hacksaw.
	$88.88.88 says, of course, love and kisses in ham radio Morse code.
	$88.88.88.88 says, of course, love and kisses in ham radio Morse code.
	And it's a lucky number in Japan.
	That's right.
	So we're sending back 88s to you.
	Samuel Lichtenstein in the United States of Hong Kong.
	That's what it says.
	Jason Daniels, Dallas, Texas, $80.
	Lichtenstein was also $80.
	These are our $80 donors, well-wishers.
	Christina Caldwell, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, $80.
	Ryan Stewart in O'Fallon, Missouri.
	Thanks for what you do.
	He says, 80, 55, 10 from Mack Tank in La Jolla, California.
	Vladimir Landman in Greenville, South Carolina.
	No, it's Sioux City.
	He's in Sioux City.
	What did I think?
	Oh, I'm looking at the wrong line.
	The Vladimir is in Sioux City, Iowa.
	Which, you know, we could use a report from you.
	Yeah, we could use a boots on the ground report.
	Yeah, from Iowa.
	Who's going to win?
	And why?
	Why?
	Sir Josh Mandel in Greenville, South Carolina, 55.10.
	Sir Kevin Payne in Richmond, Virginia, 54.32.
	Michael Siegenthaler in Phoenix, Arizona, 50.
	These are all $50 donors and that wraps it up.

	Paul, Minnesota.
	Joe Schwarzbauer in Florissant, Missouri.
	Sandy Geisler in Watkinsville, Georgia.
	These are all 50s.
	Jason Daniels, parts unknown.
	Brandon Mink in Tempe, Arizona.
	Sir Patrick Macomb in New York City.
	And that closes it.
	That's it.
	That's our short little list today, unfortunately, but that's what we got.
	I want to pick out one from the under $50, and we had a number of $8.
	Thank you, 800 pennies.
	Christopher Luna from San Antone.
	We're $13.
	Thank you, John and Adam, for continuing to bring us the best podcast in the universe.
	I cannot emphasize enough just how much the No Agenda show has changed my life for the better.
	In today's world, it's easy to go along with the crowd and believe just about anything being said.
	With all the negativity and bullcrap around us, no wonder that so many people are becoming ill.
	The mind really is the place where it all starts, and the No Agenda show provides a great way for an individual to ground themselves as they are guided through all of the nonsense.
	Listeners, let us continue to support the show and give John and Adam our best.
	When we give, we are in reality giving to ourselves.
	Excellent.
	Very nice.
	It's true.
	Well, and there's the gong.
	Yes.
	You see, I think I had a make good...
	I'm back in email contact with Eric.
	This is good news.
	Scott Schipper, who we...
	See, did he get a knighthood...
	I don't remember.
	Well, we had him on the previous show, and his question, he got cut off.
	He wanted a de-douching, a MILF karma to go to his gorgeous wife, and to resist we much for Sir Hutner for punching me in the mouth years ago.
	Go podcasting, he says.
	So what do you need?
	Do you need a resist?
	He needs a MILF. Let me do the MILF first.
	Here we go.
	MILF? That's one mother.
	What is that?
	Oh, no.
	I should play that at the end of the show.
	Resist.
	We must.
	We must.
	And we will much about that be committed. . .
	You've got karma.
	And a little bit of jobs, everybody.
	Jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	All right, we got it all.
	On the list today, we have Mr. Feltz.
	Fabulous, who turns 28 on January 26th.
	William Durkens' happy birthday to his sister, Beth, and nephew, Patrick.
	Don O'Malley's happy birthday to his wife.
	She'll be 35 on the 25th.
	and Natasha Orick to her amazing boyfriend, Charles, 26 tomorrow.
	Happy birthday from your buddies, Uncle John, Uncle Adam.
	Here's the best podcast in the universe.
	Happy birthday, yeah.
	We have no title changes, but we do have a couple of nightings.
	Nice, nice, nice.
	So I would like up on the stage...
	Watch out!
	Watch out.
	I'd like up on the stage William Durkin, Jay Wall, and Preston Thieler.
	Is that how we pronounce it?
	Thieler?
	T-H-E-L-E-R? Thieler?
	Just...
	Oh, I got your blade.
	It's fine.
	I'll work it out.
	All right, William Dirk and J. Wall, Preston Thieler, all three of you have contributed to the best podcast in the university.
	The amount of $1,000 or more, I'm therefore very proud.
	It's my honor to...
	Hereby pronounce the KD, Sir Durkin, Sir Jawa, who is a black knight, and Sir Preston of Sonoma.
	Gentlemen, for you, we've got hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay, fried bread and fembots, crickets and cream, DMT and astral travel, black hose and MD2020, shibaria and fat rooster craft beer, cheap wine and chili dogs, raspberry pies and breakfast burritos, and of course always mutton and mead!
	Rings are in!
	So go on over to noagenternation.com slash rings.
	Let us know when it's in and tweet us a picture.
	It would be quite nice.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	I guess...
	Oh, it's tech news.
	Yeah, I'm looking for it.
	There's a lot of stuff I've got to do here, you know.
	Let's see.
	Tech news...
	Tech news theme is what I... Yeah, that's what I'm looking for.
	But there's...
	I don't know.
	The tech news theme...
	You lost it.
	Yeah.
	Today is not a good technical day.
	No, I noticed.
	It does happen from time to time.
	It's bound to happen.
	Okay, we'll try it now.
	It's a miracle.
	The only good phone's a landline, and the phone should be made out of Bakelite.
	All right.
	Tech news, everybody.
	That's right.
	The tech corny goes somewhere else, but the real people who are in this tech news come here.
	No adventure.
	Now this is a good one.
	I was like, what are these guys thinking?
	And I didn't realize that General Motors, which is the clip here, that General Motors was a big investor in Lyft, and they also invested in Sidecar and shuttered it.
	Huh.
	Well, here's the latest idea.
	On Thursday, General Motors introduced Maven, its new ride-sharing service.
	In a statement, GM President Dan Amman said, We are seeing significant changes in consumer behavior as people want to take advantage of new situations like ride-sharing and car-sharing.
	We see significant opportunities as those changes are coming and want to make sure we are at the forefront of it.
	GM is putting a notable emphasis on personalization in their new program.
	In the car sharing trial to take place in Michigan, all cars will provide connected systems.
	Drivers will be able to book the cars with their smartphones and can use WhatsApp for customer service inquiries.
	Apple's CarPlay and Android Auto will also have roles in the service.
	The news comes shortly after GM invested $500 million in Lyft and then bought Sidecar, which closed its doors in December.
	The announcement only added to the discussion on the future of cars in America and how personal ownership could become a thing of the past.
	And just recently, a survey demonstrated that a smaller amount of young Americans are getting their driver's license.
	And it's not just because of the increase in ride sharing.
	It's also because of the mass migration to urban environments.
	So there's more than one culprit behind the shake-up in the auto industry.
	Well, that is news to me about the $500 billion.
	Well, and also, apparently, you buy a new GM car and you get this app becomes part of the car.
	So if you want to just casually pick somebody up, I guess.
	I would say that's a great idea.
	It's a horrible idea, and I believe this to be a 40-year cycle situation, very much involved with the Depression.
	Why is it a horrible idea?
	It's a horrible idea.
	Why?
	Because you're going to get mugged.
	Yeah.
	Well, there's that.
	Get robbed.
	This is an analog.
	The whole ride-sharing thing, I think it has some legs the way Uber's doing it, but generally speaking, I think the whole ride-sharing thing is a depression motif.
	Oh, no doubt.
	Much like mac and cheese, and it's exactly the same as the hitchhiking phenomenon in the 70s.
	Oh, good comparison, yes.
	I knew guys would hitchhike across the country.
	I used to hitchhike once in a while, and I'd pick people up constantly.
	Mm-hmm.
	It used to be, you know, kind of cool.
	You'd pick up some girls, you'd be hitchhiking some babe standing there hitchhiking.
	Hold on a second.
	Do you recall picking up a babe hitchhiking?
	Often.
	Really?
	Well, I'm not going to tell the story again, the Tahoe story.
	No, we know the Tahoe story.
	That will be coming in the future.
	Well, yes, the sad part of this ride-sharing is that it's middle-class people who can't afford their car, and they're forced to drive other middle-class people around in their car.
	You know, when I first went to France in the 70s, To go to visit Bordeaux, drive around, especially the Southwest.
	I remember, this was in the middle of the Depression, the 70s Depression, where we had all this craziness.
	Was that not, they didn't call that the Great Depression?
	No, no.
	Nobody called, nobody, the Great Depression is the 30s and everything since then has been.
	I mean, Great Recession.
	No.
	This is the Great Recession.
	This is bigger than the 70s.
	No, I don't think so.
	The 70s is far worse than this.
	I think they've done a pretty good job of...
	Buffering how bad it could be.
	And I think that has to do with quantitative easing, personally.
	Which relates back to...
	I could go on for hours about that.
	So I'm driving around France.
	I got rented a car.
	Two things I noticed.
	One, people were trying to run me off the road.
	They were flipping me off and yelling and screaming at me in Bordeaux.
	And then somebody...
	I said, geez, the drivers are on here.
	Terrible.
	I asked somebody about this.
	They said, oh, no wonder you got Paris plates.
	And apparently there's a lot of bigotry in France and generally speaking about the city dwellers of Paris.
	So if you knew what you were doing, you wouldn't have got that car with those plates.
	But the thing I noticed the most was everywhere I went, especially driving around the countryside, were girls, generally girls.
	I didn't see it with guys.
	Girls, everybody had these little bicycles with these little motors on them.
	They're little bitty motors, and the motor made contact with the wheel, and it looked like a little siren motor that kids would have.
	Oh, no.
	You mean the two-wheeler?
	Yeah, it was a two-wheel bike.
	It's called a Solex.
	I own one.
	Everybody has Solexes.
	Let me explain the Solex.
	So you have a small two-stroke engine, which is attached to the frame on the front, and it has a roller wheel on it.
	And you get the bike up to speed, and then you put the...
	The engine block is a handle.
	You put the engine block on the wheel, and then as long as you give a little throttle, it'll start because it's generating the spark.
	And then it's called a help engine.
	But I once participated in the 24-hour Solex race of the Kvakel in the Netherlands, where we souped them up and ran them on almost pure alcohol.
	They did 80.
	Not long, though.
	Anyway, Solex, yes.
	So anyway, these girls had the Solexes, and what you would see commonly, and this was throughout the countryside of France, two girls on bikes, both of them had Solexes, but only one Solex was operating.
	The other girl held her hand out.
	Holding on to her, yes.
	I've seen this.
	And pulled her.
	Yeah.
	And then she would maybe crank her.
	That way they could save the five cents of gasoline that these things used.
	Yeah.
	They'd be pulling each other around.
	That's how bad the economy was.
	They were also just kind of cool.
	Well, it was, I don't know, I'd rather not be pulled by hand, but it was interesting to see it.
	But see, growing up in a two-wheel country like the Netherlands, we had this all the time.
	It's like if your buddy had a Solex and you were on your bike, like, hey, man, and then you just hold on to his upper arm for a little while while he's dragging you along.
	It was never legal, but oh, that's two-wheel culture.
	It's very normal.
	Yeah, well, you don't see it today.
	No, but we should.
	I think they still make Solex.
	Yes, they do.
	I looked it up.
	I need to get one.
	Those are beautiful machines.
	We put on the big aluminum plates.
	They're probably illegal in the U.S. because most two-stroke engines have been outlawed.
	Oh, is that so?
	That's why I'd love to get one of those old Saabs.
	The early Saabs.
	The two-stroke engine?
	They had two-strokes in it.
	They have three-cylinder, I think they're three-cylinder, two-strokes.
	And they make a racket and just belch smoke.
	Excellent.
	You know, oil.
	They burn oil.
	Well, that's if you don't have the mix right.
	Yes, you shouldn't be burning, throwing too much smoke out, but it's still burning oil.
	And they make just a horrible sound.
	It just sounds like crap.
	And I just think it'd be cool to have one of those drive it around.
	All right, from the tech news category, I have something for the dude's name, Ben, a little participation thing.
	Now...
	I've been reading a lot about Bitcoin, again, because there was one of these guys who was in the core Bitcoin developers group, and he left and he went to the commercial, I think it's the R3 blockchain group, was a bunch of banks who were trying to replicate Bitcoin, the Bitcoin technology, and make their own version of it.
	And this guy, you know, lit like a fire under the whole thing.
	He said, oh, Bitcoin is going to fail.
	It doesn't scale.
	It's horrible.
	It's a piece of shit.
	And then he went over to the commercial guys.
	And, you know, so I have my favorite Bitcoin people.
	Dennis, I'm looking at you.
	Who will say, well, you know, this is bullshit.
	You know, they always say it's not going to happen.
	And, you know, they keep sending me videos.
	And this is why it's going to be sustainable.
	And everybody in the Bitcoin community is laughing.
	So...
	But what I learned from this is that the Bitcoin, the blockchain, which is really all it is, it's a distributed database, which is handy.
	And I've always been looking at DHT space, which is distributed hash tables, which is pretty much a distributed database.
	And there's a bunch of guys who have started this new project called IPFS. The Interplanetary File System.
	Have you heard of this one, John?
	Nope.
	You've got to look at it.
	IPFS.io.
	And their idea is, it's a blockchain technology, it's a distributed hash table, and you start up, it's peer-to-peer, so you start it up, and then you add files, and the files are turned into a hash, which is just a string of, pretty much like an encryption hash.
	But that is unique to that file.
	And they have an interesting API, which would...
	So the ultimate idea they have is to have a web that never expires.
	So you can, through their API, you can store and retrieve web pages or any kind of object, really, whether it's an HTML page or JavaScript or a Node.js or an MP3 file, and it will always have that unique hash string, and it will live in the hash cloud, you know, and it will always have that unique hash string, and it will live in the hash cloud, you know, the distributed hash table, and it will always be there
	So it's similar to BitTorrent Sync, has a little bit of this, but this is completely open source, and I've been playing with it for the past couple of days.
	I'm very impressed.
	So I'm going to put the hash for this show for the MP3 file into the show notes at 793.noagendanotes.com and also at noagendashow.com.
	And I would like to see how that works.
	We have a unique audience for testing this kind of stuff.
	Yes, we do.
	We are very unique this way.
	And it could really give the whole network a boost.
	And I'm very bullish on the concept of You've been looking for something like this.
	For a long time.
	For years.
	Not necessarily this, but something like this.
	As a backup for the days of the government that says, you guys cannot go on the networks.
	You're chewing up too much bandwidth.
	You're making too much money.
	You're subversive.
	Well, there's no danger of that.
	Well, that's true.
	You're douchebags.
	You don't want to hear from me anymore.
	Well, you can't publish stuff.
	Oh, you published the Unabomber license.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Can't talk about that.
	Exactly.
	And with this, I mean, you publish it and it's out.
	It's gone as long as one other person accesses it.
	And of course, you always have bootstrap peers and stuff like that.
	But You can have an app on your phone that would enable you to just click on a link and it would be retrieving these files from the DHT space and you wouldn't even know.
	It could be a browser plugin.
	You wouldn't even know it except for the fact that it would be available all the time.
	Links don't break.
	In this manner.
	You know, the file, you don't need a path.
	You don't need a server.
	You just, here's the file name, and it's in a hash structure, and you will retrieve it.
	And it's really amazing.
	It really does work.
	It's using protocols, Git, DHT, BitTorrent, Bitcoin, SPS. Well, it's its own protocol, but it's those concepts.
	Yeah, peer-to-peer hypermedia distribution protocol.
	They're also doing a cryptocurrency called Filecoin.
	Right.
	But it's all part of the same technology.
	That's what's beautiful about it.
	I think the technology has proven to work.
	And honestly, Bitcoin, for all its trials and tribulations, which uses the exact same technology, is still working.
	But to do this for files, I think it'll be fun.
	And I'd really like people to set it up.
	Look, if I can install it on my MacBook, then anybody can install it.
	It's not like a huge, complicated thing.
	IPSF.io.
	I'd like to see how we do.
	I'm always looking for alternative distribution methods.
	Not just for cost, but also for...
	Look, if you can decentralize Facebook, it would be much better if no one controls it.
	Some douchebag saying, oh, you can't run those in hate speech.
	And the great thing is, I don't think you can even delete a file that's gone into DHT. Well, that's something to think about.
	Because you'd then have to go and find every peer that has a copy.
	Actually, that in and of itself is interesting.
	Right.
	And also, you don't need the BitTorrent trackers, which is why all these torrent sites are going down.
	Now, so they kind of take a different approach, and instead of saying, well, you need a tracker, and then the torrent, and someone has this information, they're saying, no, everybody has the information.
	Everybody has a version of the distributed database, so you can find what that file should be and where it was last seen or multiple pieces of it, and then you can bring it in.
	I've got to tell you, I'm a little excited.
	You sound it.
	I know.
	Objective.
	Not closing up our tech news, everybody.
	My phone!
	My phone!
	There you go.
	I got that.
	I ended abruptly.
	Did you have a tech news to do?
	Yeah, I started it.
	I'm sorry.
	General Motors.
	You said it was just going to be cars.
	That was tech news.
	Yeah, we just ended tech news.
	Yeah.
	And I did my tech news car thing in the segment.
	Yeah, and then I did my tech news.
	Yeah, so what do you want me to do now?
	Oh, I thought you said that it wasn't over or something.
	I don't know.
	No, no, I never said that.
	Okay.
	Well, what I want you to do now is I would like you to...
	I've saved it to the end.
	We've done it at the beginning twice as the Oscars so white controversy continues.
	No.
	What's nice about this controversy, which is nothing more than promotion for the show, I predict if they can keep this going until the end of February, which may be tough, we're going to see pushback, but I predict pretty big ratings for the show.
	To prepare myself, I watched Straight Outta Compton the other night.
	Okay.
	Have you seen the movie?
	No.
	I... I think it is deserving of the nomination for screenplay.
	Although the movie was too long.
	It seemed like two and a half hours or something.
	The movie was too long.
	Ended in a kind of weird way.
	I thought the acting was great.
	No Oscar performances there.
	But the story, it's a good story.
	That's why it deserves the nomination for screenplay.
	And I was at MTV around the time when these guys were, you know, when NWA was rising, Eazy-E, Snoop Dogg, Dr.
	Dre.
	And we have Ice Cube, who, of course, is really one of the most successful guy who went on to create this mega empire.
	And he was on the Graham Norton show in the U.K., And it was just refreshing to hear his take on the Oscars So White controversy, since it really kind of revolves also a bit around his movie.
	Isaac, we've got to mention Straight Outta Compton.
	Congratulations, Oscar-nominated.
	Oscar-nominated, best original screenplay.
	Yes.
	And obviously, because the Oscars have now got mired in this controversy this year, so where do you stand on all of that?
	Like, where do you go?
	Are you going?
	I never used to go anyway.
	You're not boycotting.
	You can't boycott something that you never went to anyway.
	That's kind of weird.
	I look at it like a horse race, you know what I'm saying?
	Lose a race, you tear up your ticket and go on and just back on out, you know, because it's nothing really to put that much energy into like that.
	We don't do movies for the industry.
	We do movies for the fans, for the people.
	And, you know, the industry, you know, if they give you a trophy or not or pat you on the back or not, it's nice, but it's not something that you should dwell on.
	Yes.
	You know, we got accolades from all levels, you know, from our core fans, from our curious fans, from our fans, or people who, you know, didn't even think they wanted to see that movie, you know.
	I think an older generation got an understanding on why we did that kind of music, and a younger generation got a history lesson, and we got so much praise for the movie, and it's like, how could you be mad, because...
	One other academy or guild or anybody didn't say it's the number one.
	It's like it's crying about not having enough icing on your cake.
	There you go.
	Refreshing from Cube.
	Yeah.
	Refreshing.
	That's actually a very sensible way to look at it.
	You're right, but it's not about any of this anyway.
	It's a publicity stunt.
	It is a publicity stunt, and it's working quite well.
	You get more people to watch.
	The ratings have been sketchy.
	Always have been up and down, up and down.
	And they got Chris Rock.
	I mean, if you hate the blacks thing, what would they have Chris Rock as the host?
	Yeah, that's the guy you want to host with controversy.
	That's perfect.
	Perfect.
	He'll make a few comments.
	A few?
	He'll make lots of fun about Whitey.
	Yeah, he'll do that.
	That's what he does.
	And we'll love it, by the way.
	Oh, yeah.
	We'll love it.
	We like to be abused by him.
	We'll love it.
	Norway's biggest bank is calling for the country to stop using cash.
	Oh, jeez.
	Actually, the DNB, is that their central bank?
	No.
	No, it's not their central bank.
	Largest bank in Norway has called for the country to stop using cash.
	This comes as the latest move in a country that has been leading the global charge towards electronic money.
	Yes.
	DMB, the bank with the proposal, said that eliminating the use of cash would cut down on black market sales and crimes such as money laundering.
	Today, there are approximately 50 billion kroner in circulation, and the country's central bank, Norja Bank, can only account for 40% of its use.
	That means 60% of money usage outside of any control.
	We believe that is due to under-the-table money and laundering.
	Norway, do not let this happen.
	It's crazy.
	Yeah.
	Need more Chinese there.
	Chinese won't put up with this crap.
	Really?
	What are the Chinese doing in Norway?
	Are there Chinese in Norway?
	No, there's not enough of them.
	When the Chinese get into it, we have a lot of Chinese in California, and they would go nuts if they were forced.
	They love cash.
	Yeah.
	But, anyway, I've got a couple clips.
	This is a good one.
	This is the UK de-radicalized brainwashing story that was run on RT. I don't know if you know this is going on.
	You might kind of sense it is.
	But I found this to be an abhorrent situation.
	The British government has launched a new website aimed at battling what it calls the spell of twisted ideologies.
	On the side, parents and teachers can find advice on how to identify signs of radicalisation in youths.
	The first sign is argumentativeness or aggression.
	Another alarm bell is a change in clothing.
	And as the UK government points out, you should also be worried if your child wants to join an extremist organisation.
	The UK has drawn up another leaflet for parents.
	It says that if children start to mistrust the mainstream media and show anger towards the government, it could be time to worry.
	Meanwhile, hundreds of children have been referred to a UK government de-radicalisation programme in the last four years.
	Wow.
	You used to just send your kid to summer camp because he was a brat, you know, a shitty-ass kid.
	Now this?
	Yeah, isn't this great?
	Not really.
	What do you mean you don't like the times?
	Damn.
	You don't trust the BBC? Wow.
	This is bad.
	Yeah, especially for some of our listeners.
	We have a lot of high schoolers and kids that have got a clue.
	I'm surprised we have a lot of listeners in Saskatchewan.
	That's because they know how I feel about Saskatchewan.
	I have no feelings one way or the other.
	I think Saskatchewan's got to be the only province I haven't been to.
	Well, I haven't been to the Northern Territories, but whichever they're called now.
	They keep changing the name.
	But Saskatchewan, because it's Saskatoon, it's the Paris of the...
	Isn't Regina around there?
	No, it rhymes with.
	A stunning act of violence snuffed out four lives today in a remote Saskatchewan community.
	A gunman opened fire in two locations, one of them the local high school.
	The painful details are still emerging, but what is already clear it is one of the deadliest school shootings in Canadian history.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	They got all these gun laws.
	They got all kinds of gun controls in Canada.
	They can't have something like this happen.
	It's not possible.
	Maybe that's not why we're hearing so much about it.
	Oh, yes.
	On the news.
	I wonder if I've heard about this.
	Yeah.
	I got a little Ask Adam thing here.
	It's not Ask Adam officially, so it's just a small thing.
	So we don't need the jingle?
	No, I've got this.
	I'd like a jingle for this.
	Somebody's got to do this.
	This is another one of the what's wrong with this reporting segment.
	We don't have a jingle for that.
	What's wrong with this reporting?
	Harold and Bertha Coombs were their names, survived by an adult daughter.
	We're told visit it often.
	Petaluma police say Bertha Coombs is the city's first homicide of the year.
	Frank, that's after none all of last year.
	Debra, I have to say what struck me here was when you said that on average there are 10 murder suicides per week among elderly people.
	20 people.
	I know.
	That number surprised me as well.
	And with the population aging and depression on the rise, they are seeing that number climb steadily.
	Yeah.
	Debra Villon reporting for us live tonight.
	Debra, thank you.
	Okay.
	First of all, he said 10.
	She said 20, I think.
	Well, there was yet couples.
	Oh.
	It was 10 couples, 20 people.
	Maybe I should listen to it again?
	No, no, no, don't listen to it again.
	I made a mistake.
	The thing that was wrong with that report, as I listened to it this time, I heard the thing that I didn't hear the first time, so this is just a complete screw-up.
	Epic fail.
	It's an epic fail.
	Well, then we need to...
	What are we going to do now?
	We should probably hype it up a bit.
	Let's make it fun for us to do something.
	Oh, man.
	Maybe we should do Haiti then instead.
	Let's play the Haiti clip and then we can do the Clinton versus Sanders rap.
	Okay, I have a Haiti clip here.
	Let me play the Haiti clip.
	Okay, here we go.
	Protesters marched through the streets of Port-au-Prince again on Saturday as they called on outgoing President Michel Martelly to step down.
	The protests come one day after officials canceled Sunday's scheduled presidential runoff.
	An election opposition politician say was marred by fraud.
	Opponents are vowing to keep up the pressure until President Martelly resigns.
	The demonstrations will continue until the people are satisfied with their demands.
	That President Martelly leaves on February 7th.
	Then we will reform the electoral council and organize elections that the majority of the people can trust.
	And then the protests will stop.
	The demonstrators believe Martelly has unfairly favored banana exporter, Jovenel Moise.
	Despite the protests, Moise says he will not abandon his candidacy.
	People who went out and voted for the Banana Man, number five in the PHTK, the Banana Man, on October 25th.
	I asked them to continue to trust in me because I will not let them down.
	I will not betray them and I will not back down.
	Haiti may need an interim body to organize the next election, but the government and opposition leaders may find it difficult to agree on who would lead such an administration.
	Yeah.
	That was the Clinton's second pick.
	The first guy they brought in got, you know, rousted right away because he was acting like an a-hole, jetting around everywhere.
	Then they got sweet Mickey Martelli in.
	And you've got to be careful.
	The Haitians have a history.
	And screw it.
	So what next?
	The blue helmets?
	I'm sure the UN is still there.
	Yeah, they've got to probably bring in a new disease.
	New cholera.
	I feel so bad for Haiti.
	Then I want to thank our Epic Beer people for getting a couple bottles to me here in Austin of the No Agenda Epic Beer.
	No Agenda Ale, yeah.
	Fabulous.
	That's good stuff.
	It's outstanding beer.
	In fact, apparently they hit upon a good formula and they're selling it in Australia now.
	Oh, great.
	Our beer?
	The No Agenda Beer?
	Yeah, our beer.
	Fantastic.
	Well, it's not our beer, it's their beer, but it's an homage to the show.
	It is.
	Uh, that's all I got, really.
	Well, I want to do the Clinton-Sanders round and get the last piece of information out of here.
	Okay, Clinton.
	Because we're getting closer.
	Yeah, we are.
	Well, when are the primaries?
	Is it next week?
	It's in seven days, eight days, something like that, shortly.
	It's not, they're not going to be, they're not like primaries, it's the caucuses.
	Caucuses, right.
	And what happens in the caucuses?
	They sit around, they smoke cigars, and then they decide on who they're going to give support to.
	It's American politics.
	It's the way it's supposed to work.
	But tonight, she also turned up the heat on Bernie Sanders.
	Do you believe the American people are ready to elect a socialist as president of the United States?
	It's up to the voters.
	I know a number of Democrats, people who I highly respect, are concerned and are expressing that concern to me, to journalists and others.
	From Sanders today, confidence.
	If we do well in both of those states, I think, my friends, we are looking at one of the great political upsets in the modern history of the United States of America.
	The Vermont senator also dropping this ad, a Simon and Garfunkel throwback to the song, America.
	And Bernie Sanders just now came out swinging, saying in a statement, quote, Clinton's lead is evaporating here in Iowa, and we understand why her campaign is panicking.
	David, the gloves are off in this race.
	The gloves off with 11 days to go.
	Cecilia, thank you.
	Hey, what's wrong with Bernie Sanders?
	Hello, 1970, we want our campaign song back.
	Simon and Garfunkel?
	Seriously?
	What an idiot.
	You got Big Mike who's promoting you, and you're going to play Simon and Garfunkel as your campaign song.
	It's targeted.
	Yeah, for the Iowans, I guess.
	Yeah, in Iowa, come on.
	True, true, true, true, true.
	All right, well, is there anything...
	Big Mike in Iowa is not going to fly.
	No.
	Anything coming up today on the tube we've got to watch?
	Some games?
	Football games are leading to the Super Bowl, which will be in two weeks.
	And I'd say the only event you really want to deal with, if you want to talk about sports, it will be the...
	Basketball game on Monday between the San Antonio Spurs in San Antonio against the Golden State Warriors.
	Everybody's been waiting for this game because these are the two best teams in basketball.
	And both teams win at home all the time.
	And this will be the biggest challenge for the Warriors.
	They're not expected to win by any of the experts.
	And they could.
	And it will shake things up if they do.
	All right.
	I'm sorry I asked, actually.
	I'm sorry.
	Hey!
	We'll be back on Thursday.
	Coming to you from the skyscraper here in downtown Austin, the capital of the Drone Star State, FEMA Region 6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where you have too much information apparently once in a while, I'm John.
	And we'll be back on Thursday right here on No Agenda.
	Stuff you won't hear in the news.
	In the 1970s, in California, there would be regular days where people did not go outside.
	In the 1970s, in California, there would be regular days where people did not go outside.
	And there would be no doubt about it.
	Is he qualified to be commander in chief?
	Well, you know, that's going to be a determination that the American people are making.
	I would suggest that the next commander-in-chief, instead of living or dialing by the daily polls and by the latest Twitter store, should focus on identifying our enemies, listening to the expert advice of generals and admirals and national security experts, and doing whatever is necessary to keep this country safe.
	This week, you have to figure out what do we do from here. you have to figure out what do we do from You have to figure out, all right, what do we do from here?
	And you're right.
	We've got to get some jobs. I want some jobs. I want some jobs. I want some jobs. I want some jobs. I want some jobs. I want some jobs. I want some jobs. I want some jobs. I want some jobs. I want some jobs. I want some jobs. I want some jobs. I want some jobs. I want some jobs.

	More extreme weather events, more drought, more flooding, bigger hurricanes, typhoons.
	And you might not.
	That's the dream each of us has for ourselves and our families.
