	This is stupid is why.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	And Sunday, February 7th, 2016.
	Time once again for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 7, 9 or 7.
	This is No Agenda.
	We are reminding you that we're from the future and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone, Star State, Austin Tejas, FEMA Region 6.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's Super Bowl Sunday, the entire Bay Area is filled with hundreds and hundreds of thousands of fans, even though the stadium only holds 60,000.
	I'm John C. DeVore.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Is the game out there?
	Where's the game?
	The game's out here.
	Oh, nice.
	Oh, cool.
	Yep.
	Well.
	I went to Super Bowl City, and there's all these people, and they're saying, oh, Bart's setting up to bring an extra 200,000 people can go on Bart.
	I'm thinking, where are they going?
	The stadium only holds 60,000 people.
	I don't know.
	Tailgate?
	No, they have...
	In fact, you can play this.
	Everybody sneaks into the game.
	So, Jeh Johnson is out here.
	Just to make sure that Homeland Security is in charge so somebody doesn't blow up the stadium.
	And so I have a report from him.
	I think you can find it on the list.
	I don't have the list in front of me.
	The biggest TV show in America gets closer.
	Law enforcement has been making sure they have all the kinks worked out.
	We're counting on a successful, safe event this year, but a lot of people are working overtime to ensure that.
	This device scans the inside of every vehicle, bringing supplies into Levi's Stadium.
	We even have Homeland Security investigations out here patrolling against counterfeit merchandise.
	Woo!
	The FBI is staging six top-secret locations in and around the stadium to ensure the game and not security is what makes Super Bowl 50 one to remember.
	Yeah, sounds like they're doing more on the counterfeit stuff than anything.
	Oh, that's what they're here for.
	They'll find some poor kid who has a silk screen shop in his dad's garage making a couple of shirts that aren't licensed, and so they're going to bust him.
	Bust him.
	I've seen this happen before.
	They just beat these kids up for all practical.
	And then, of course, he's mentioned everyone's on overtime.
	And then the one thing that you had to see, they got these huge, they look like giant x-ray machines that people are driving through.
	With their car?
	Hey, honey, I feel a little itchy.
	A little woozy.
	With these big trucks.
	Well, Uber is demonstrating.
	Uber drivers are trying to organize a slowdown or a strike, which I found out about Friday when I tweeted out to the Amazon Echo team and Uber that their new skill was not operating properly.
	What's this?
	Well, so we received two new skills.
	What's a skill?
	Oh, a skill is the Amazon Echo equivalent of an app that you can make yourself.
	I'm very concerned about this device.
	I love this device.
	And here's what you just said is why.
	Everybody says the exact same thing.
	Everyone on all these old...
	I've got my...
	I love it.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	I said this first when everyone was poo-pooing.
	Yes, because you had it first.
	This machine is broadcasting subliminal messages to everyone who owns one.
	And you would be the first to say it because you were one of the first to own one.
	It's always the same.
	I feel the burn.
	I love it.
	It's not that I like it.
	I think it's pretty cool.
	No, I love it.
	I'm telling you, I'm warning you.
	Okay, thanks for the warning.
	Yeah, it's too late now.
	So you can say, Alexa, ask Uber to order me an Uber.
	And you can specify which one you want.
	So I was testing it out.
	What location it would put in there.
	Because I'm kind of on the corner.
	So I didn't know if they would try and pick me up on the front where the street is closed off or on the sides.
	I'm just testing and I tried.
	Where's the street closed off?
	For the Lance Armstrong bike path, don't ask.
	There's a bike path all along 3rd Street here in Austin.
	And is it strewn with needles and things that inject the steroids?
	No.
	Ugly art, though.
	They have some ugly art poles all along this thing.
	It's horrible.
	So it wouldn't recognize Uber Lux, or you might say Uber Lux, or I just tried spelling it, L-U-X. It kept defaulting back to Uber X, which is like their lower...
	The lower service.
	I thought UberX was the fancy one.
	No, no, no.
	UberX is not.
	You have Uber Rideshare, or what is it?
	UberPool.
	That's the low of the low.
	Anyway, so it wasn't working.
	So I tweeted at Amazon Echo and I tweeted at Uber.
	I said, hey, this thing's not working.
	But what I got in return was just a deluge of tweets of people saying, you shouldn't take Uber.
	They're no good.
	Screw Uber.
	We're protesting because we want the same amount of money cab drivers get.
	We want the same health care cab drivers get.
	We want to have tips like cab drivers get.
	And so I tweeted back and said, I do not support this tweet.
	This initiative.
	This is a depression-style platform.
	You knew what you were signing up for.
	If you want to have cab benefits, join a cab company.
	And then I got all kinds of people.
	Well, who was giving you crap the second time?
	We mean the second time.
	I get it.
	You just insulted.
	I did not insult anybody.
	What do you mean?
	Well, they insulted you.
	Okay, anyway.
	It was just interesting to me that the Uber protest is about being a cab.
	The drivers who are protesting say, oh, I want to be a cab company.
	Just go be a cab company then.
	Well, this is bound to happen.
	Yeah, of course.
	It's the unions.
	It's the unions.
	These people had all day Friday time to be tweeting me and, you know, well, your hair looked good on MTV, but you don't know what you're talking about.
	Like, wow, thanks.
	I like that one.
	Your hair look.
	Actually, preface it with, hey, cutie.
	Hey, cutie.
	Like, oh, man.
	But I kept it going for a while.
	It was just interesting to me.
	Oh, people, stop doing this.
	Nut jobs.
	Yeah, so I think we should do our prediction for the game, since we are from the future, and we are pretty good at doing this.
	All right.
	Go.
	You don't even know who's playing.
	I do.
	It's the Denver Broncos against the Panthers.
	Yes, where are the Panthers from?
	They are from Pantherville.
	Everybody knows they're from St.
	Louis.
	I don't know where they're from.
	You're right.
	I don't know where they're from.
	They're from Carolina.
	Which Carolina?
	North Carolina.
	Okay.
	North Carolina.
	So, obviously, Panthers have to win.
	They're in the black uniform.
	They've got the black quarterback.
	We've got the Broncos will be white.
	They've got the white quarterback.
	We've got the halftime.
	Nothing says a diversified halftime than Beyonce and Coldplay.
	Okay.
	We fixed the black problem.
	Now, this is a racist setup.
	It's totally racist.
	Yeah.
	They have the black quarterback in a black outfit.
	And they may wear all black.
	We don't know.
	It's because they have the option of wearing black pants, too, along with a black jersey.
	Which would look good.
	I mean, it would look good, especially if the other team was all white.
	Because they have the option of having white pants and white top.
	And Beyonce dropped innings.
	Hey, she dropped her new single yesterday.
	It dropped.
	She dropped.
	She dropped her new single yesterday.
	When did that term show up in the lexicon?
	That is a hip-hop kind of Sean Puff, Daddy Combs type things where that started.
	Hey, man, when's your album dropping?
	She'll be dropping this week, bro.
	It's like I've noticed these kinds of phraseologies.
	I really dislike them.
	In basketball, for example, the guy shoots deep three-pointers.
	He drained it.
	Drained it?
	What do you mean drained?
	I drained it last night.
	He drained the shot.
	Drained it.
	I don't like that at all.
	Another one that was going on that slowly disappeared was on all the sports talk shows.
	The guy weighs a buck fifty.
	$1.50, yeah.
	Well, there's a lot of stuff like that.
	I find it all annoying.
	I'm very irked by most of these phraseologies.
	So we will need some kind of controversy to take place?
	Okay, you're still on your prediction.
	Well, we need a controversy.
	We need something to happen that can really solidify that this was the true black-white game.
	So we'll have to have something to argue about.
	Some call.
	The ref will say, I didn't see him.
	It was dark in that corner.
	This is America.
	This is what we do.
	This is what we do.
	And I'll tell you something even more disgusting.
	Here on KVUE, I think, which is the ABC affiliate, they're now running little local spots with local guys, black guy, white guy, intercut, about Oscars so white.
	And it ends up with, unfortunately, I couldn't clip audio.
	It's so boring.
	But underneath it ends with February 28th, Oscars on ABC. They are taking the...
	They are actually localizing this with local celebrities.
	Oh man, yo, we need to fix this ball.
	We can go...
	And then they promote the show.
	It's so disgusting.
	They're going to have some of the biggest ratings.
	Speaking of which, how were the ratings last night for the debate?
	I didn't get to overnights.
	Let me give my prediction on the Super Bowl before we change subjects.
	All right, please.
	Okay, I am going out on a limb and saying Denver's going to win this game.
	Is there a geopolitical reason for that?
	There's kind of a sentimental reason.
	Peyton Manning, this is his last game.
	He's the quarterback of the Denver team.
	This is his last game, and he wants to go out, and he's injured, and he's staggering around.
	It's a better story.
	The racial aspect of it, which I think is a kind of a borderline good story, this guy winning this game in a last minute drive is the best story.
	For making the game kind of exciting.
	And besides that, the other guy, Cam Newton, who is the superstar, one of those Uber men, the guy's oversized, runs real fast.
	Are you saying something about black quarterbacks, John, that they're oversized?
	Are you saying something there?
	This guy may be oversized in more ways than one, but I don't know that.
	But there's a bunch of oversized people in the world, and they're just big.
	And so when they take three strides, this is equivalent of four for you.
	And so he's going to win plenty of Super Bowls if he's going to win any.
	And he may win this one.
	And they are the best team.
	It's just the other thing.
	It's not as good of a black and white story when the black team, in this case, they're 15-1.
	They've only lost one game all year.
	They're one of the best teams, it looks like, in the league's history.
	And it's not interesting.
	If it went according to plan, they would just beat up the Denver team 50-0.
	So that's no good.
	Okay.
	So your prediction...
	That's what I'm thinking.
	The games are rigged.
	Yes.
	As was discussed by Bubba Smith.
	And anyone who wants to look this up, look up Bubba Smith Super Bowl III fixed on Google.
	And you can read all about it.
	And this is Super Bowl what?
	49?
	50.
	50?
	Yeah.
	Wow!
	We've only had 44 presidents, but 50 Super Bowls.
	That tells you a lot about America, doesn't it?
	Hey, we've got 800 no agenda shows coming up.
	Yeah, now you're talking.
	You have that.
	Now, so I believe that they're going to rig the game.
	And it's going to go, Denver's going to win in a kind of a heroic effort at the very end, and it'll be like the last guess.
	It's a better story.
	It's a good story.
	And Cam Newton will be, you know, he'll be gracious.
	I don't know anything about sports, as we know.
	I'm sorry?
	I don't know anything about sports.
	I'm only going by what I've heard, by what Charles Barkley was talking about, how the NFL was already, you know, making this into a big black-white thing.
	I'm just going pure on Black Lives Matter.
	You know, we've evened everything out as much as we can, right down to the half.
	And Beyonce again?
	Coldplay?
	Man!
	Yeah, the halftime thing is going to explode.
	I just watch for the beauty of television.
	I think it's a beautiful, beautiful television event.
	It's a spectacular show.
	There's no doubt about it.
	But most of it's overhyped.
	Like I will say, I went to the Super Bowl City over here in San Francisco.
	It was a joke.
	It was a joke.
	There was nothing to do.
	It was stupid.
	All they had was a lot of beer stands and a lot of phony restaurants.
	Isn't that all that's required?
	It's just a bunch of beer stands?
	Yeah, but what do you do?
	You drink beer?
	I mean, there's even nothing to see.
	It's ridiculous.
	And they play it up, and some band comes and plays on the stage.
	There's a stage, they're a big stage.
	And they play there, starting at like 7 o'clock, some band comes up.
	It's kind of like Formula One fan streets that we have in Austin.
	See, I don't know about if that's true or not, but I will say this.
	I went to the U.S. Open Golf a couple years ago.
	It was in San Francisco.
	Riveting.
	Actually, compared to this, much better produced.
	They had, for example, when you go enter, there must have been 50 large pavilions that were built.
	They're mostly tents, obviously.
	And you go in, there's a Lexus dealer.
	The whole dealership.
	There's all these...
	A dental office.
	There's all kinds of exhibits and things to do.
	It was packed with stuff.
	This piece of crap Super Bowl City had nothing.
	It had like an Intel pavilion that you couldn't get into and a Chevron STEM, a STEM exhibit.
	And it was dumb.
	STEM? Yeah, STEM of what?
	Science, technology, engineering, math.
	Okay.
	Anything else on there?
	Some people are trying to sneak in the new moniker, STEAM. Yeah, but you add art in there that's been around.
	Yeah, add art.
	That's what they should do.
	But anyway, so I went to these.
	There's crap.
	It was junk.
	There was one Hyundai dealer there.
	And it was, compared to the U.S. Open, it was horrible.
	And so I'm thinking that the Grand Prix is probably better.
	Yeah.
	Than this thing was.
	It's overrated.
	It's overrated.
	I'm going to make one additional minor prediction.
	We will see one of the following during the halftime with Beyonce, Bianchi.
	We will see pyramids, checkers, and other symbols of the Illuminati.
	Some hexagons, maybe.
	Maybe.
	Hexagon is not so much an Illuminati thing.
	It's more the triangles, the pyramids, and the checkers in black and white.
	And of course, all-seeing eye stuff.
	Yeah, we see an eyeball.
	You can wait for it.
	Yeah, I'm in with that prediction.
	A lot of fire.
	You should see the new video she did is very intense.
	It's a very black-white, black pride-type video in a kind of strange way.
	If she does that song tonight...
	Have you ever looked over the lyrics of Bitch Better Have My Money?
	Yes.
	That's pretty much the lyric right there.
	Have you ever seen that video?
	Have you ever seen that video?
	The uncensored one?
	No, I've not seen the uncensored one.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Can we move on?
	Onward with the show.
	MS Smallbiz.
	Out of the way.
	MS Smallbiz.
	Here it is, John.
	So this is how it goes.
	Okay, 10 minutes of Uber followed by 10 minutes of Super Bowl.
	Sounds like native ads to me.
	You dick.
	Dick.
	Yeah, native ads.
	Yeah, I'm advertising for the Super Bowl since you can't buy tickets and get out here in time to see it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So that's a smart move.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	I see you have more clips.
	Do you want to use them, or are we just moving on?
	On the Super Bowl?
	Yeah.
	What have I got?
	You got Super Bowl security, Creek Story.
	Oh, yeah, Bart.
	This was a good one.
	This crazy stuff comes out during the Super Bowl week.
	Play this Super Bowl Bart clip and tell me what you think.
	You might expect Bart is not taking any chances with all the Super Bowl crowds, and they have been huge.
	Kristen Ayers tells us it started swapping out fake surveillance cameras for the real deal.
	We are responding and we're going to get rid of those decoys.
	That's what BART spokesperson Alicia Trost told us last month.
	After a murder on BART, we exposed that a majority of cameras on board the trains are fakes.
	We found out some writers still don't know.
	I was shocked when you said that, actually.
	I was very surprised.
	That's the definition of security theater.
	This is great.
	Today, BART announced it is fixing the problem, and for the first time, he has a price tag on it.
	Using $1.4 million from its operating budget, BART will install working cameras in all 669 of its train cars.
	Their lifespan?
	Six or seven years.
	Just in time for BART's new fleet to get on track.
	Yeah, security theater.
	Can you believe that?
	My jaw dropped when I heard this story, that all those cameras on BART, every BART train has got two of them.
	They're all bogus.
	They've got a little blinking red light.
	And then the other thing that came up in that story is that these cameras are supposed to be, they're only good for six or seven years.
	Why?
	Hmm.
	Why would a CCD camera, probably with decent resolution, 19, 20, whatever it is, why does it need to be replaced in 10 years or 20?
	Because it's a contract.
	It's a contract.
	Gotta keep the money flowing, bro.
	Seems to me...
	Bruh, bruh.
	This is the last story, which is the one on the creek, which I had for last week.
	This one cracked me up.
	So if you go over to Levi's Stadium, which is where the game's going to be played down in Santa Clara, nowhere near San Francisco, I might add, about an hour away.
	Good, good, good.
	Especially in this traffic, it's going to be today.
	You go there, and this is where the Santa Clara Convention Center is, so I've been there a number of times.
	And the stadium's right across the street from the convention center.
	And...
	There is a, as you walk toward the parking lot, which is across the street from the stadium almost directly, you cross over a very small bridge and there is a creek that's about, I'd say, two feet wide that goes, I don't know where it goes, but it goes under this bridge and off into the bay.
	So, this creek they've decided is a huge security issue.
	They brought the Coast Guard in.
	Now, do they have a Coast Guard ship in the creek?
	No, but they got Coast Guard guys guarding the creek.
	It's in Santa Clara.
	KPI X5's Mark Sayers outside Levi's Stadium tonight.
	Mark?
	Well, Elizabeth, this is a security operation that's so big it even involves the United States Coast Guard and a creek that runs right next to the stadium.
	This extreme southern tip of San Francisco Bay is so peaceful, it hardly looks like it could factor into Super Bowl security.
	But this is where San Tomas Aquino Creek joins the bay.
	And just a mile and a half upstream, the creek runs right next to Levi's Stadium.
	So the Coast Guard will be setting up what's called the Maritime Exclusion Zone to make sure nobody can get in or out of the creek channel.
	Jay Johnson is Homeland Security Secretary.
	Increased maritime security and helicopter patrols by the Coast Guard.
	On-site intelligence support.
	San Tomas Aquino Creek runs for about 16 miles.
	It brings water from the Santa Cruz Mountains all the way down here to the mouth of the San Francisco Bay.
	And even after our recent rains, there's not a whole lot of water in the creek.
	The creek itself is not particularly wide.
	Nevertheless, the Coast Guard will be on alert.
	At this time, we know of no specific credible threat directed at Super Bowl 50 or related events.
	And the signs of Super Bowl security around Levi's Stadium go well beyond just the creek.
	National Guard teams are already monitoring the perimeter, and dozens of law enforcement agencies are involved in the overall security effort.
	And law enforcement officials are quick to point out that for all of the security you do see around Levi's Stadium, there's also plenty of security that you do not see.
	Reporting live at Levi's Stadium...
	So I guess they're guarding the creek because submarines could come in.
	Yes, maritime security.
	Some small subs, which the creek's only a foot deep, by the way.
	Now, who owns this creek?
	It's just a creek.
	Why does the Coast Guard get to do that?
	Can they actually call maritime security on it?
	This is stupid is why.
	This whole thing is idiotic.
	This creek is...
	I don't know.
	I got you.
	It was just a head shaker.
	They show it to a couple of Coast Guard guys guarding the creek because who knows?
	I mean, maybe some Viet Cong could be coming up the creek, you know, wading their way into this area.
	American Yankees!
	Exactly.
	Anyway, this is just the kind of craziness that's going on.
	A little transition, Entremont.
	Yes.
	It's official.
	As of today, I am Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie.
	I got my vanity call sign.
	You've got your vanity call thing.
	Yeah.
	Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie.
	I'm loving it.
	Is it ACC? Yes.
	Is that the sound standard or is that AAC? I can't remember.
	You got it wrong.
	No, that's AAC, but this is Adam Clark Curry.
	Oh.
	Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie.
	So, I've been waiting for this to happen, so I have to go back to the FCC licensing system, and you have to refresh.
	They're not going to tell you.
	You don't find out until you actually see it appear.
	And while I'm doing this, I got sucked into a rabbit hole, and I wound up watching a speech by Bruce Perrins, a very famous guy in the ham world, who...
	He does a lot of digital work, and he's looking at new interfaces for ham radio, and he's a very interesting guy, but then he uttered this sentence, which I figured I just needed to share with you.
	Now here we have ham radio, guys.
	Ham radio is the public service network of last resort.
	When the apocalypse comes, we're the guys who are going to save the world, right?
	Right!
	Right!
	And all you need to do is remember that phrase every single time your wife or partner questions your purchase of a new piece of ham radio gear, then that's all you have to remember.
	Bring that clip out.
	Yeah, or you could do the short version.
	When the apocalypse comes, we're the guys who are going to save the world, right?
	Yeah.
	I'm sorry.
	It just sounds so gay.
	We're going to save the world, alright?
	When the apocalypse comes.
	I'm ready, y'all!
	Alright.
	Another debate last night.
	Another continuation in the shit show.
	I just saw an estimated 12.5 million viewers for ABC. What happened the night before?
	I don't know.
	In the same time slot, you mean?
	No, there was a Democrat debate and then a Republican debate.
	It was a Democrat debate?
	That was the good one.
	What do you mean?
	There was another Democrat debate?
	Yeah, you missed it.
	It was on Saturday.
	Or it was on Friday.
	I don't know when it was.
	No, it was Wednesday.
	It was after our last show.
	Another one?
	Yeah.
	Oh my God.
	This is the one-on-one, the mano-a-mano.
	Oh, I can't believe I missed that.
	They're really hiding this shit from us.
	Well, this one I damn near missed, too.
	I was driving around in my car, and then somebody brought it up.
	Oh, I'm very happy.
	Raced back home to record it.
	This is why there's two of us.
	Well, here's my favorite.
	Let me just start with that thing, because you haven't covered it.
	This is the Democratic Debate Club.
	This is Debate Dem.
	Now, this one here is pretty much the way this debate went.
	This is Hillary.
	I'm going to start with this one.
	Hillary's rant about what she did.
	Okay.
	What I want people to know is I went to Wall Street before the crash.
	I was the one saying you're going to wreck the economy because of these shenanigans with mortgages.
	I called to end the carried interest loophole that hedge fund managers enjoy.
	I propose changes in CEO compensation.
	Hedge fund.
	She went and did this and that and the other thing.
	She was a brainiac and she actually did any of this, which I doubt.
	The big thing that came up, this was on NBC, by the way, and it had Chuck Todd who was going after her.
	And let's get a couple of these out of the way.
	About the transcripts?
	This one here is the...
	This one here is Todd released the transcripts clip.
	This is the best part of the whole night.
	Are you willing to release the transcripts of all your paid speeches?
	We do know through reporting that there were transcription services for all of those paid speeches.
	In full disclosure, would you release all of them?
	I will look into it.
	I don't know the status, but I will certainly look into it.
	But I can only repeat what is the fact that I spoke to a lot of different groups with a lot of different constituents, a lot of different kinds of members about issues that had to do with world affairs.
	Now, if all we're going to talk about is one part of our economy, and indeed one street in our economy, we're missing the big oil companies, we're missing other big energy companies, we're missing the big picture.
	And I have a record of trying to go at the problems that actually exist, and I will continue to do that.
	You know, someone didn't advise her, or she's ill-advised on this.
	The proper answer would have been, look, I did that for Goldman Sachs, or you fill in the blank of whichever bank you spoke for.
	They paid me for it.
	It is their property.
	So you have to ask them.
	If they say, okay, I'm okay with it.
	And you can do the back door and you say, hey, blank and fine.
	And no way.
	That's what she should have done.
	This is ridiculous.
	And it's turning up a lot of heat.
	I think this was from yesterday morning.
	Was it Carl Bernstein?
	He's one of the Woodward Bernstein...
	Yep.
	Yeah, so he's an actual...
	Was he any good?
	He's the one who doesn't work for the CIA. He does not work for the CIA. But he has a lot of contacts within the administration and the White House, and this is what he said about their feeling of what's going on.
	But there is a huge story going on.
	I've spent part of this weekend talking to people in the White House.
	They are horrified at how Hillary Clinton is blowing up her own campaign.
	What are they saying to you?
	They're worried that the Democrats could blow...
	They are horrified that the whole business of the transcripts, of accepting the money, that she could blow the Democrats' chance for the White House.
	They want her to win.
	Obama wants her to win.
	But Sanders has shown how vulnerable she is.
	These ethical lapses have tied the White House up in knots.
	They don't know what to do.
	They're beside themselves.
	And now you've got a situation with these transcripts a little bit like Richard Nixon and his tapes that he stonewalled on and wouldn't release.
	What I'm saying is that if she stonewalls on it and does not release them, it enables the Republicans to paint her again into a corner.
	This is not just a vast right-wing conspiracy that is causing her problems.
	She has caused herself these problems.
	The server is not the vast right-wing conspiracy.
	It's Hillary Clinton deciding that she could put a server in her closet.
	The same with these transcripts.
	The same with accepting this money in a presidential year when she knew that she was going to probably be running for president.
	To the people in the White House that I talked to, it is unfathomable that she did this and has endangered President Obama's legacy.
	As I say, they are terrified at this point and they want Bernie Sanders to not do well on Tuesday and Hillary to do well because if this keeps going like that...
	They see real problems ahead.
	Well, let's play.
	Here's a Democracy Now!
	report on the same thing.
	It was very interesting because they had a guy from the...
	Intercept on there, who apparently had already asked this question.
	I think Chuck Todd stole the question from him, to be honest about it, because when he asked the question, she laughed in his face, and they had a show of video of it.
	Oh, yeah, right.
	So play this.
	This is the debate DN on Hillary's speeches.
	So, she laughed in response, but Lee, last night, she said she will look into it.
	That's right, and she's given a number of different responses when she's been asked about just the general issue of speaking fees.
	She said that her and Bill Clinton were dead broke and they had to do these speaking fees.
	She's also suggested that this was just an educational exercise.
	She just wanted to have a conversation with different groups.
	However, Politico reported that at least in one speech to Goldman Sachs, she gave a very tailored message.
	She said that she's actually against all this anti-bank populism, that she wanted to reassure The bankers, that she would be more friendly to them.
	So I think it's very important for a president who's promising, or a potential future president who's promising to take on Wall Street, and she's made over $600,000 from just this one very powerful investment bank, to at least have a little bit of disclosure and clear the air.
	At this point, I'm thinking she's so happy with this being on the radar.
	No one's talking about Clinton Foundation bribe money anymore.
	Even the emails are slipping down because of this.
	Well, the problem is with the email slipping down, I think that the State Department screwed up by bringing up, listen to this clip, this was kind of, I was taken, but this didn't get a lot of legs, but the fact that it happened at all, to me is like, oh, this is chicken shit.
	Play the Colin Powell clip.
	Okay.
	The State Department has found a dozen emails containing classified information sent to the personal email accounts of former Republican Secretary of State Colin Powell and top aides of his successor, Condoleezza Rice.
	Powell received two of the emails, while Rice's aides received ten.
	Powell disputed the classification of the messages, telling NBC News, quote, I wish they would release them so that a normal air-breathing mammal would look at them and say, what's the issue?
	The review is part of the fallout over Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server as Secretary of State.
	Well, doesn't that seem like that's a setup?
	Doesn't it?
	Yeah.
	It's like a lame one, though.
	I mean, Hillary had 30,000 emails.
	Some of them disappeared, whatever.
	They found two, two emails that were sent to Powell, to his private, not his own server or anything, but just to his Gmail account, for all practical purposes.
	AOL, I think.
	AOL. No, Prodigy.
	His Prodigy email.
	And so they made a big stink about it to try to take the heat off of Hillary.
	But this just puts more heat on her.
	So that's just dumb.
	dumb.
	But then luckily for, you know, the whole situation, I didn't see that it got any traction anywhere except on democracy now.
	But anyway, back to the debate.
	There was a couple other things.
	They went back and forth on who was a progressive.
	Let's play a couple of classics here.
	Dem, debate, debate, rant about what she did, Hillary's speeches.
	Let's do the Sanders...
	I don't know if this is the Sanders stock rant.
	This is what he says all the time.
	Let me just say this.
	Wall Street is perhaps the most powerful economic and political force in this country.
	You have companies like Goldman Sachs, who just recently paid a settlement fine with the federal government for $5 billion for defrauding investors.
	Goldman Sachs was one of those companies whose illegal activity helped destroy our economy and ruin the lives of millions of Americans.
	But this is what a rigged economy and a corrupt campaign finance system and a broken criminal justice system is about.
	These guys are so powerful that not one of the executives on Wall Street has been charged with anything.
	After paying, in this case of Goldman Sachs, a $5 billion fight.
	Kid gets caught with marijuana.
	That kid has a police record.
	A Wall Street executive destroys the economy.
	$5 billion settlement with the government.
	No criminal record.
	That is what power is about.
	That is what corruption is about.
	And that is what has to change in the United States of America.
	There's the burn channeling Elizabeth Warren.
	Well, it's the same pitch.
	They're twins.
	Two peas in a pod.
	The last one I have is this one.
	This is the core one, I believe.
	Pocahontas and slow-mo.
	This, I believe, is the one that everyone mostly focused on.
	Which one?
	Core.
	I'm sorry, I didn't hear you.
	Rachel, yes!
	Secretary Clinton does represent the establishment.
	I represent, I hope, ordinary Americans, and by the way, who are not all that inavid with the establishment, but I am very proud to have people like Keith Ellison and Raoul Grahalva in the House.
	I don't know.
	If you name check, you know, come up with some names.
	The co-chairman of the House Progressive Caucus.
	Progressive Caucus.
	Look, I've got to just jump in here because, honestly, Senator Sanders is the only person who I think would characterize me, a woman running to be the first woman president, as exemplifying the establishment.
	And I've got to tell you that it is...
	It is really quite amusing to me.
	Can I interrupt this for one moment?
	I expect you to interrupt.
	Yeah, did she go back to the woman thing on this, or did she leave that where it was?
	She kind of left it where it was and went on to slamming Bernie for smearing her.
	Well, there were some...
	Because as usual, I'm always getting stuff in and around these...
	I don't know how that happens, but I get stuff around it, which I find somewhat more entertaining.
	And on MSNBC, they were doing some polling...
	I presume this was before the...
	God, I can't believe I missed this whole town hall mano a mano.
	And they talked to some women at the university in...
	I don't know which university in New Hampshire.
	And they were shocked, I tell you.
	Just shocked!
	The young women there did not care that Hillary Clinton could be the first...
	Crazy to me, really?
	That's crazy!
	In fact, several of them were offended when she brought the line up, pointing to the fact that how could I be establishment?
	I'm a woman running for president.
	I want to play a little bit of what they said.
	You can't be.
	A woman running for president?
	You're not establishment?
	I also am a woman.
	I also face discrimination as being a woman.
	Her feminism does not represent my feminism.
	And I think that's really important to differentiate that.
	It's like I think you have to realize that, you know, everybody's human and, like, you have to go for who has the best ideals.
	And just because she's a woman doesn't necessarily make her the best candidate.
	Now, by the numbers, the mayor's poll shows that Hillary Clinton is behind Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire, 4%.
	And as you pointed out, we know the numbers with the young people.
	But after—and we were there in 2008 when Hillary Clinton gave that speech about the millions of cracks in the glass ceiling after women came out in droves to support her of all ages inspired by her campaign.
	And now here you are in New Hampshire, this progressive college environment, and young woman after young woman really shrugging it off and taking issue with the fact that Hillary Clinton brought it up.
	I thought that was fascinating.
	It blew me away.
	Of all the things last night, I didn't see that coming.
	No, I did not see that coming.
	Everybody else has seen it coming.
	Madeleine Albright was stumping for Hillary.
	Madeleine Albright, of course, has Albright and Partners, a huge consultancy firm.
	She's involved in the Balkans, the Baltics, Ukraine.
	She's everywhere.
	And she had a very special message for women who might be questioning whether they should vote for Hillary Clinton or not.
	We can tell our story about how we climb the ladder.
	And a lot of you younger women don't think you have to...
	It's been done.
	It's not done.
	And you have to help.
	Hillary Clinton will always be there for you.
	And...
	And just remember, there's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other.
	Yay!
	Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State.
	Threatening.
	Threatening women.
	Under the Clintons.
	Under the Clintons.
	Now there's a lot of money coming her way if Hillary gets in.
	Oh yeah.
	Special place in hell for you.
	If you don't help me get my money.
	So all you dummies should vote for Hillary.
	Onward.
	Part of the establishment is, is in the last quarter having a super PAC to raise $15 million from Wall Street.
	That throughout one's life raised a whole lot of money from the drug companies and other special interests.
	To my mind, if we do not get a handle on money in politics and the degree to which big money controls the political process in this country, nobody is going to bring about the changes that is needed in this country for the middle class and working families.
	It's so nice to see that he received $2 million from the Super PAC organized by the nurses.
	It's a super PAC. An actual super PAC. Two million dollars for Bernie and get money out.
	Yeah, but I think it's fair to really ask what's behind...
	Door number three.
	That comment.
	You know, Senator Sanders has said he wants to run a positive campaign.
	I've tried to keep my disagreements over issues, as it should be.
	But time and time again...
	By innuendo, by insinuation, there is this attack that he is putting forth, which really comes down to, you know, anybody who ever took donations or speaking fees from any interest group has to be bought.
	And I just absolutely reject that, Senator.
	And I really don't think these kinds of attacks by insinuation are worthy of you.
	And enough is enough.
	If you've got something to say, say it.
	Yeah, I heard everyone talking about this.
	Stop it, stop it.
	Yeah.
	Did you hear her back it up just a little bit?
	She says enough is enough.
	She's trying to pick up on that to go after Bernie.
	Uh-huh.
	And I said, what was it?
	Enough is enough, she says.
	Yeah.
	And I'm thinking, wait a minute.
	Bernie's, that's one of his catchphrases, and I actually have a copy of it here on the clipped list.
	Oh, let me see.
	He's a little more adamant when he says it.
	Where is it?
	Well, it should be...
	It should be very clearly...
	Sanders ISO, Enough is Enough.
	Oh, I should have seen that one coming.
	Enough is enough!
	It's like a dog barking.
	I have one to follow that up.
	Hold on, I think I can do something to...
	I have something to go along with that.
	Here we go.
	Okay, here we go.
	Enough is enough!
	Thank you for your courage.
	All right, perfect.
	Actually, I thought you were going to play ants.
	I should have.
	Okay.
	Alright, onward with the...
	Attacks by insinuation are worthy of you.
	And enough is enough.
	If you've got something to say, say it directly.
	You will not find that I ever changed a view or a vote because of any donation that I ever received.
	Ah, now interesting.
	Is a speech fee a donation all of a sudden?
	Well, I think, I don't, here's what she didn't say.
	I have never changed a vote or changed anything from any bribe, which is what the speech fee is.
	Right, right, right.
	$300,000 for a speech telling you that, you know, which is a stump speech, is a bribe.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, but she said donation.
	And that's nothing to do.
	That refers to the Clinton Foundation, I believe.
	Yes, that's why I think she slipped up.
	Because it's about Wall Street and being all in.
	Speaking fees are not donations.
	No one said donations.
	No, they're not technically.
	I think she screwed this one up, actually.
	It was kind of a little...
	No one's noticed that except you, and now that you mention it, I think you might be on to something.
	Let's listen to it again.
	Ever changed a view or a...
	Let me roll it back a little further so we can get her lead in.
	You know I have to go back even further now.
	No, that's it.
	Yeah, but she said in the lead-in.
	You will not find that I ever changed a view or a vote because of any donation that I ever received.
	Yeah, but...
	Speakers fee and campaign contributions are different.
	Different things.
	And a campaign contribution is a campaign contribution.
	Is that technically a donation?
	It's never called that usually.
	But it's a donation to the campaign.
	It's not a donation to her.
	She's referring to stuff that money she gets.
	She's a greedy woman.
	I think this is damning to me.
	This is a flub.
	It's a flub nobody picked up on, so it's not a flub.
	Flubs are only flubs if somebody notices, and you're like the only one who notices is Obviousity.
	I'm just going to roll it back a little bit to Sanders' intro, and then we'll leave it alone.
	I told you we should roll it back further.
	This is interesting.
	It comes down to, you know, anybody who ever took donations or speaking fees from any interest group has to be bought.
	And I just absolutely reject that, Senator.
	And I really don't think these kinds of attacks by insinuation are worthy of you.
	And enough is enough.
	If you've got something to say, say it directly.
	But you will not find that I ever changed a view or a vote because of any donation that I ever received.
	Or speaking to you.
	And I have stood up and I have represented my constituents to the best of my ability.
	And I'm very proud of that.
	Well, I think it's time to end the very artful smear that you and your campaign...
	Ah, little Jew thing.
	She threw in a smear.
	She threw in a smear.
	Smear.
	Bagels and lox and smear.
	I'm to end the very artful smear that you and your campaign have been carrying...
	Oh, he even goes...
	Oh, he was making faces the whole time they had him on a two-shot.
	Or two boxes.
	But he's actually using his smear words.
	Then he's pursing his lips and he's bugging out his eyes.
	But I think he responded to the schmear word.
	You calling me a Jew lady?
	I think it's time to end the very artful smear that you and your campaign have been carrying out in recent weeks.
	Let's talk about Let's talk about the issues.
	Let's talk about the issues that divide us.
	We both agree with campaign finance reform.
	I've worked hard for McCain-Feingold.
	I want to revert Citizens United.
	Let's talk about issues.
	Stop to talk about that!
	Let's talk about issues.
	Let's talk about issues.
	All right, let's talk about why in the 1990s Wall Street got deregulated.
	Did it have anything to do with the fact that Wall Street provided, spent billions of dollars on lobbying and campaign contributions?
	I don't know.
	Anyway, they go back and forth for a while.
	She keeps talking about her constituents.
	What constituents?
	The elites?
	I've heard her do it a number of times.
	I've never done that with my constituents.
	Well, she had constituents in New York when she was senator.
	That was when?
	Ten years ago?
	I'm with you.
	I'm with you.
	My constituents.
	And so she's representing anybody.
	Anyway, I found the whole thing to be quite funny.
	It was a very funny moment.
	I'm sorry I missed it.
	It seems like that would have been fun.
	I had a hunch you'd miss it because I almost missed it.
	And we could have done the whole show and never mentioned it.
	What was I doing Saturday?
	No, not Friday.
	Oh, I think.
	I know.
	Never mind.
	Oh, really?
	You want to talk about it?
	I don't think so.
	No.
	All right, well, let's go to the Republican debate.
	The next day is another debate.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes.
	Very good.
	And they're having...
	Wait, stop!
	Stop, stop, stop, stop.
	We have a very important Hillary clip to play before we go on.
	I'm sure you've seen it.
	Chelsea Clinton, flub.
	We also need to strip away the immunity that President Sanders...
	Excuse me, that Senator Sanders...
	I hope not President Sanders...
	That Senator Sanders...
	That Senator Sanders voted for...
	Wow.
	She's going to get the gimp.
	She has to put the gimp mask on tonight.
	That orange ball in her mouth.
	Isn't that how they punish her?
	I don't know how they punish her, but it can't be good.
	Okay, now I saw the Republican debate in its entirety, and the most interesting part to me from a production standpoint must have been the opening sequence, which begs for some deconstruction as it is...
	I mean, the face bag today is just fantastic.
	Everybody is...
	Every bot and moron is out there going, these guys, they can't even walk onto a stage right!
	It's a great metaphor for the Republican Party.
	When this was purely...
	A horrible, horrible production cock-up by ABC, and I would say expertly taken advantage of by Donald Trump.
	As an overview, I want to say something.
	The ABC debate compared to the NBC debate It was like night and day.
	NBC did follow-up questions.
	They had hard questions.
	ABC, most of my clips exemplify this.
	They ask a stupid question, they get a really stupid answer, and then they just go on.
	They just plow through.
	It was terrible.
	Raditz is no good.
	Muir is no good.
	He's a good newsreader.
	It was just a joke.
	Then they had those two people over on the side.
	Yeah.
	That smirking girl, you know, with that, you know.
	Yeah, the author.
	She's an author, I think.
	Well, she's a smirker, is what I saw.
	It had been nice smiles.
	I like this.
	I like her big, broad mouth.
	It was cute.
	She got a big mouth and a big, nice, big smile, but half the time it was in the form of a smirk.
	Here's what bothers me about her.
	Technically, she's a good-looking woman.
	We're talking from the perspective of TV producers.
	Why don't we find out what her name was, since we're raking her over the coals.
	You can look up her name.
	I thought she was kind of, she had that kind of air about her, and this is what bothered me, of one of these snooty Berkeley sorority Hillary supporters.
	She just had that Hillary, younger 20-something, millennial Hillary type that just had that smirk.
	It was just a smirk.
	I didn't like her.
	Okay.
	Well, back to the opening.
	I know exactly what went wrong.
	Two things went wrong.
	Three things, really.
	Stage managing was off.
	And this is Disney.
	Well, you know what they had done.
	I know they rehearsed it with stand-ins.
	Of course, they didn't rehearse it.
	Didn't communicate properly how the walk would be done.
	It started with Carson.
	He was goofy, but he probably just didn't hear his name being called.
	But they had their backs to the stage, Raditz and Muir.
	And the prompter is what...
	Really messed it up.
	Because the prompter...
	I know how this goes.
	Like, the guy doesn't show up.
	And then there's confusion.
	And then they roll to the next one.
	And then, oh, well...
	Because they're not seeing it behind what's happening.
	They're not seeing it.
	Now, what really...
	To me, what I found most interesting is both Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush, when they were called and they came out past Trump and Carson, they both did a little, I would call it the alpha male dog pat.
	So as they walked past Trump, they did a, hey buddy, pat him on the shoulder like I'm going out.
	Making him the alpha.
	You have to watch it.
	It's almost like, oh, I know you're pissed in this corner.
	I won't get near it, but I'm just going to catch him.
	You know what I mean, John?
	Like one of those, like, hey, bro.
	Yeah, that's exactly what it was.
	You're the leader, but hey, here I go.
	See you in a bit out there on the field.
	That's all I was missing was the dog.
	Yeah, it was really bizarre.
	Very bizarre.
	Very bizarre.
	Okay.
	Very poorly done.
	Oh, and the desk microphones?
	Oh, someone needs to be fired over that.
	It was particularly bad with Jeb.
	He'd be like this.
	He'd be hammering his hands on the podium.
	Yeah, and it would transmit through.
	Maybe that's just me.
	The micing was very poorly done.
	Here, I'll give you one more if you want to go into these little picadillos.
	Yeah, of course.
	Poor job by ABC. The makeup.
	Oh, man.
	Well, we know this is shit.
	What would they use?
	They use white flour for Jeb?
	They get this, like, makeup, and they hit him with a pile of white flowers, and his makeup was very pale and slightly pink.
	No, I think what happened is somebody saw the previous one and said, dude, I don't want to be orange, and then they really overcompensated.
	Where is television production at these days?
	Is it run by interns?
	They're not paying anybody any money, apparently.
	Oh, God, it's horrible.
	They had a two-shot, which I took a photo of.
	I'll put it in the next newsletter.
	Okay.
	I took a photo off.
	There's two things I took photos of for the newsletter.
	One is, which is different, one is a one frame out of the entire debate where the background turns red and Donald Trump turns bright blue.
	Oh, I didn't notice that one.
	I saw it and went by.
	I blinked and blinked.
	Wow, interesting subliminal message.
	Yes, and I went back and single framed it and it was one frame.
	When you take a picture of the television, here's what I'd recommend.
	I'd like to see the bottom half of your legs wearing your Crocs in the frame.
	That would be a great shot.
	Anyway, so the other picture I have is Bush.
	They did a two-shot, which actually had two boxes, a two-box shot.
	And on the left, they had Martha.
	And then they had Bush.
	And Martha was made up.
	She looks like she just came out of Florida.
	And Bush is like this pale face from Florida.
	It's like, would this guy ever leave the house?
	He looked like Bill Gates.
	I mean, it was the worst makeup on these guys.
	All of them, actually.
	It was all flat makeup, too.
	It wasn't very interesting.
	No.
	Okay.
	Oh, I had one.
	I think that's a bad form.
	Okay.
	You have clips.
	Again, I only have clips surrounding everything.
	Okay, well I got some clips then.
	I have some clips, I'd say.
	This is, I thought, was the number one.
	I'm going to start with the top clip I liked.
	Because I like revelationary clips, and this one, and Trump does this constantly.
	He reveals a little tidbit of That we wouldn't have known unless it irked him at some point.
	And this is where he reveals that the audience was not a normal audience.
	Oh, I love this.
	This was very good.
	This is the comments on the nature of the audience clip.
	Okay.
	Here we go.
	The difference between eminent domain for public purpose, as Donald said, roads and infrastructure pipelines and all that, that's for public purpose.
	What Donald Trump did was use eminent domain to try to take the property of an elderly woman on the strip in Atlantic City.
	I had even read this story, and then I knew, the minute he started it, I'm like, man, you're on the wrong track with this, because I know how this wound up.
	Who's advising Jeb Bush?
	Damn, this is stupid!
	That is not public opinion.
	That is downright wrong.
	Here's the problem with that.
	Did you say his mom?
	Is that what she said?
	His mom.
	The problem was it was to tear down.
	He wants to be a tough guy.
	He wants to be a tough guy tonight.
	I didn't take the property.
	And the net result was you tried.
	I didn't take the property.
	The woman ultimately didn't want to do that.
	That is not true.
	And it was great that I didn't.
	To turn this into a limousine parking lot for his casinos is not a public use.
	And in Florida, based on...
	Jeb Bush channeling Bernie as well.
	Isn't it interesting?
	We did.
	We made that impossible.
	It is part of our constitution.
	That's the better approach.
	That is the conservative approach.
	Mr.
	Trump, take 30 seconds, please.
	Let me just, you know, he wants to be a tough guy.
	A lot of times...
	Oh, man.
	I do thank the universe for Donald Trump in this.
	It makes it so much more interesting.
	You'll have, and it doesn't work very well with it.
	How tough is it to take a leg of property from an elderly woman?
	Let me talk.
	Quiet.
	A lot of times...
	A lot of times...
	And now Trump does his masterful turning the booze into more booze this time.
	That's all of his donors and special interests out there.
	So, that's what it is.
	And by the way, let me just tell you, we needed tickets.
	You can't get them.
	You know who has the tickets?
	I'm talking about to the television audience.
	Donors, special interests, the people that are putting up the money.
	So it is.
	The RNC told us we have all donors in the audience.
	And the reason they're not loving me...
	The reason they're not loving me is I don't want their money.
	I'm going to do the right thing for the American public.
	I don't want their money.
	I don't need their money.
	And I'm the only one up here that can say that.
	Eminent domain, the Keystone pipeline, do you consider that a private job?
	Now, he totally flummoxed Bush with this one.
	And just beautiful about the donors.
	That was, finally, we broke down the fourth wall.
	Very nice.
	No, no, let me ask you, Jeff.
	Do you consider the Keystone Pipeline private?
	Is it public or private?
	It's a public use.
	Oh, really?
	A public use?
	No, it's a private job.
	It's a private job.
	It's a private job.
	Established by the courts, federal, state courts.
	You wouldn't have the Keystone Pipeline that you want so badly without eminent domain.
	You wouldn't have massive, excuse me, Josh, you wouldn't have massive...
	What did he say, judge?
	What did he say?
	I didn't say Jeb.
	You said something else there.
	...pipelines that you want so badly without eminent domain.
	You wouldn't have massive...
	Excuse me, Josh.
	You wouldn't have...
	I said judge.
	Judge?
	Yeah.
	Who's the judge?
	I don't know.
	Who's the judge?
	I don't know who the judge is.
	Maybe he was just rehearsing for tomorrow's indictment or something.
	Excuse me, Judge.
	You wouldn't have the Keystone Pipeline that you want so badly without Eminent Dome.
	You wouldn't have massive...
	Excuse me, Josh.
	You wouldn't have massive...
	Josh?
	Was there a Josh on the stage?
	Excuse me.
	Somebody, maybe.
	I don't know.
	Somebody that was...
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	Without Eminent Dome.
	We do have to move forward, Dave Martin.
	Oh, fabulous.
	Before this all started, there was a new commercial for Jeb!
	Exclamation mark, Jeb!
	Jeb!
	And, of course, we know that...
	And you probably saw Donald Trump's tweet, which is not hard to predict, but when Barbara Bush did one of these super PAC spots, I mean, we pretty much said, oh, wait for Donald Trump to say, oh, he called his mommy, and that's exactly what he did.
	I expected him to bring it up tonight.
	Well, I have a clip from KTLA where the woman, one of the reporters, got a hold of...
	Barbara.
	So they have this interview.
	Now this is a very weird clip because it's a mixture of a bunch of clips put together very poorly in a very poorly produced package.
	But it's worth listening to.
	It's Barbara bitching about Trump.
	But you have to see the scene because the reporter is sitting there with a microphone and Barbara's sitting there next to Jeb as she's grousing.
	And she's She's sitting next to Jeb, and Jeb is sitting there with his hands between his legs, kind of near his knees, and kind of a ball.
	You know, you can just imagine the look.
	He's just short of wearing shorts or knickers.
	With knee socks.
	With knee socks.
	He's not moving and she's yakking away.
	We should probably play that.
	Rubio continues to appeal to the center right, but he's taking fire from rivals.
	Jeb Bush and Chris Christie have launched a series of attacks in recent days attacking the senator's experience.
	Both men are polling in the lowest in the pack of five.
	I don't think this is the right clip.
	It says, Barbara Bush blasts Trump?
	Yeah.
	That's the clip you're getting?
	Yeah, that's what I'm playing.
	Okay, it must be a lead-in.
	Go on.
	Sorry.
	...at the bottom, and both are vying for a big turnout in New Hampshire to undo Rubio and emerge as the party's unifying candidate.
	That was an edit mistake.
	It's okay.
	And today, former First Lady Barbara Bush joined her son Jeb on the campaign trail.
	She even gave a mother's opinion about Mr.
	Trump.
	He sort of makes faces and says insulting things.
	I mean, he's said terrible things about women.
	Terrible things about military.
	I don't understand why people are for him for that reason.
	I'm a woman.
	I'm not crazy about what he says about women.
	Mrs.
	Bush, what do you think of Donald Trump?
	You are known for being blunt and plain spoken.
	I don't think about him at all.
	I think about Jeb and the qualified candidate.
	I think about Jeb!
	You dodged me on Donald Trump.
	You were sitting next to her.
	Oh, God.
	How embarrassing.
	That's embarrassing.
	And the qualified candidate.
	You dodged me on Donald Trump.
	Do you want to...
	No.
	You want to go full New Jersey on Donald Trump?
	No.
	What is that?
	Do you want to go what?
	Full New Jersey.
	Is she from New Jersey?
	I don't know what she's talking about.
	It's just some reference to probably Christy.
	Do you want to...
	No.
	Do you want to go full New Jersey on Dr.
	Trump?
	No.
	I do not.
	I don't even think about it.
	Being from New Jersey, I'm not liking it.
	I'm sick of him.
	That's very strong.
	Strong words there from former First Lady.
	I'm sick of him.
	Yeah, sick of him.
	That's what she said.
	I'm sick of him.
	And meanwhile, Jeb is sitting there.
	It's like a kid.
	So George...
	I'm sorry.
	I'm just saying it was humiliating.
	And anyone could vote for this guy with his mother like this.
	It's ludicrous.
	No wonder he's got nobody.
	It's just so obvious anyway.
	Well, so they had to bring out George W. Bush to do a 30-second spot.
	I didn't get past the first five seconds, actually.
	The first job of the president is to protect America.
	No!
	No, it is to defend and uphold the Constitution!
	Wow.
	The first job of the president is to protect America.
	No!
	Now, I got to think, but let's go back to the Barbara Bush thing, because I do have one thing to throw in.
	She says the things he said about the military.
	Yeah.
	Now, what has he said about the military?
	He said, veterans, we've got to take better care of veterans.
	I'm going to build up the military.
	Big is the baddest.
	I love our vets.
	I love the military.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I know what she's actually saying.
	Ah.
	It's about his commentary about John McCain.
	Oh, of course.
	Yeah, that makes sense.
	Yeah, that pops up from time to time.
	I keep hearing that.
	As far as she's concerned, John McCain is the military, I guess.
	Though she's getting a little on in the years.
	Anyway, back to the...
	Yes, back.
	Now, I found it was interesting that in terms of the idea, their production, again, is kind of a production value thing.
	they did this in pieces.
	They had guys come out and they yak for about, I don't know, until they get to a commercial break.
	They let him take time off.
	Then they brought in what looked to be, this was modeled to me after a sports broadcast.
	You bring the two analysts in, the two stooges, who are now going to give us a rundown about what happened in the first quarter.
	Okay, who were the stooges?
	Do you remember?
	Well, it was George Stephanopoulos and some other guy who I didn't know who it was.
	I didn't know his name, but I do have it here.
	So they're pretty much doing the...
	So what do you think, John?
	What do you think?
	How did that go?
	How was Hillary doing in this battle?
	Well, I think she's got to improve on her defense a little bit, and she could have moved a little faster and a little slower.
	She had a shot at a slam dunk with this comment that Sanders made, but she hit the back rim.
	But you know that set her off.
	I got to tell you that when Barbara came out and tried to help her son, things really went wrong there at the 10-yard line.
	So this is basically what these two guys were doing between the breaks.
	And here is an example.
	This is the first break, the first quarter, and this is the sports commentary.
	First quarter.
	Live from Manchester, New Hampshire, here again is George Stephanopoulos.
	Candidates taking a quick break.
	I'm here with John Carr right now.
	And boy, John, Marco Rubio came into this debate with a head of steam, ran right into Chris Christie.
	I have never seen Christie tougher in this race.
	I have never seen Marco Rubio more rattled.
	He repeated himself three times precisely when Chris Christie's criticism was, you always repeat yourself with the same canned speech.
	This was a tough moment for Marco Rubio.
	Donald Trump started out more subdued, got a pass for most of the debate right up until the end of that first section.
	Nice.
	...
	Well, nice progressive speed.
	That was good.
	That was ridiculous.
	Yeah.
	But it was a sports thing.
	Wait, wait.
	I have one clip from the entire debate.
	Okay, go.
	This is, I think, Marco Rubio flubbed with something that...
	And so here's what Hillary Clinton needs to understand.
	Did he say Hillary Clinton?
	Try it.
	And so here's what a Hillary Clinton needs to understand.
	So he just...
	I thought it was Hillary.
	And so here's what a Hillary Clinton needs to understand.
	I was just wishful thinking on my part.
	All right.
	Next?
	Oh, that was it.
	That's it?
	There's more to it than the flub.
	No, no, I'm sorry.
	That's all I got.
	Oh, you want me to do flubs?
	I have the...
	Where's the one flub?
	This is the flub that was in the...
	We kind of passed it over.
	I forgot about it.
	This is the Republican debate ISO of Bush babbling.
	The next president of the United States is going to have to re-get back in the game where the United States' word matters.
	Word matters.
	Word matters.
	He forgot the S. Yes, he had word matters.
	I hate anything for the end of show.
	Let me hear that again.
	The next president of the United States is going to have to re-get back in the game, where the United States' word matters.
	Because words do matter.
	Nice.
	Excellent.
	Play the clip, Word Matters.
	Oh, okay.
	Hold on a second.
	Do I need to play him in succession, maybe?
	No, just play Word Matters.
	The next president of the United States is going to have to re-get, get back, re-get, get back, re-get, get back, re-get, get Word Matters.
	Word Matters.
	Game.
	Word Matters.
	We're the United States.
	Word Matters.
	Wow.
	Did you get up early this morning?
	Every time I produce the simplest little thing, you think that I've spent extra time.
	I did.
	Yeah, that took time.
	I know what the time it takes.
	Took me an hour to do that.
	I know the time it takes to do that.
	Okay.
	Back to the Republicans.
	Yes.
	Debate Rubio with...
	Okay.
	Rubio had a bunch of absurd...
	comments that were just outrageous.
	This is where I think these idiots at ABC could not pick up.
	They could have called them on every one of these.
	Let's start with women registering for the draft.
	Now this is a long clip I expect you to interrupt because it starts with they asked Rubio should women register for the draft and he says all women should die.
	They should all go to the army.
	Did he actually say?
	I didn't hear him say that.
	No, he doesn't say that.
	And then they follow up with Jeb.
	And Jeb had the most illogical thing that it was so easy for any of these questioners to jump in and ask him.
	He says, well, yes, women should register for the draft, even though there's never going to be a draft.
	We're not having a draft.
	And then he just keeps talking.
	And nobody says, well, if we're not going to have a draft...
	Why is anybody registering, let alone women?
	...said that they believe young women, just as young men are required to do, should sign up for selective service in case the draft is reinstated.
	Many of you have young daughters.
	Senator Rubio, should young women be required...
	Wait a minute, does Rubio have daughters?
	I don't know, maybe.
	Isn't he gay?
	Oh, yes, he is.
	You think?
	Oh, man, there's all kinds of pictures of him in big gay swimming pools with foam and dancing on stage.
	Totally.
	Oh.
	I thought this was a given.
	No, not me.
	Well, he's bi at least.
	That would account for that crazy smile.
	Yeah, if you just look around, it's not hard to find.
	...is reinstated.
	Many of you have young daughters.
	Senator Rubio, should young women be required to sign up for selective service in case of a national emergency?
	Well, first let me say, there are already women today serving in roles that are like combat, that in fact, whose lives are in very serious danger.
	And so I have no problem whatsoever with people of either gender serving in combat, so long as the minimum requirements necessary to do the job are not compromised.
	But I support that.
	And obviously, now that that is the case, I do believe that selective service should be opened up for both men and women in case a draft is ever instituted.
	I think the more fundamental challenge we're now facing is what's happening to the U.S. military.
	I've said this many times already, and I think it's important to start paying attention to this.
	Our Air Force is about to be the smallest it's been in a hundred years.
	I'm sorry, in our history, our Army is...
	Hold on, stop, stop.
	Now, right there, somebody should have called him out.
	What the hell was our Air Force a hundred years ago in 1916?
	Well, that was four years after Orville and Wilbur Wright flew.
	Ha ha ha!
	So it's going to be smaller today than it was in 1916 when we had like three biplanes?
	That's what he said.
	And then he made it worse by saying, in our history, oh, so our air force is going to be smaller than it was in 1780 when there was no airplane even invented?
	That's what he said.
	Well, people, usually when they're asking questions, don't listen.
	They're just thinking about the next thing they want to say.
	So these guys on ABC, who did it, they let that pass.
	And all the other candidates did too.
	That our Air Force is going to be smaller than it was in 1780, when there was no airplanes.
	It's going to be smaller than 1916, 100 years ago.
	Well, he said that, to be fair, I think he said Air Force.
	Okay, so the Army Air Corps doesn't count.
	So what's he even saying?
	Okay, there's the other thing.
	Then is he being facetious?
	Because if you're going to talk about the Air Force per se, then you have to talk about World War II and forward.
	In World War II, we had thousands and thousands and thousands of planes for a pretty good reason.
	You needed them, and you didn't have the advanced capabilities that they have today.
	You didn't have a B-52, let's say, which is not even a new plane, that could drop tons and tons of bombs, or the B-1 or the B-2.
	So you don't need all these...
	B-24s.
	So this is a facetious comment, which should also be jumped on by one of the panelists, or one of the panelists, or the moderators.
	Nobody says anything.
	Anyway, I just found it very annoying.
	That's obvious, and I agree.
	I've said this many times already, and I think it's important to start paying attention to this.
	Our Air Force is about to be the smallest it's been in a hundred years.
	I'm sorry, in our history.
	Our Army is set to be smaller than it's been since the Second World War.
	And our Navy is about to be the smallest than it's been in a hundred years.
	I think we need to begin to refocus on rebuilding our military, because every time we have cut our military in the history of this country, we have had to come back later and rebuild it, and it costs more, and it's a lot more chaotic and dangerous.
	When I'm president, we are rebuilding the U.S. military.
	Thank you, Senator.
	Stop again.
	We're rebuilding.
	We have the biggest budget in the world.
	The military budget has been going up every year.
	What is rebuilding?
	How about one of these boneheads?
	None of them did this, by the way, as far as I remember.
	And they didn't do it on the Democrat side either.
	Why don't they audit the Pentagon and see where this money's going?
	You're mistaking this show for something of any merit.
	And you're mistaking Marco Rubio for something of any merit, or any of these guys.
	So after Rubio, we go into the idiocy of George, that's Jeb Bush.
	When I'm president, we are rebuilding the U.S. military.
	Thank you, Senator Rubio.
	Governor Bush, do you believe that young women...
	Say it again?
	Do you believe young women should sign up for selective service, be required to do so?
	I do.
	I do.
	And I think that we should not impose any kind of political agenda on the military.
	There should be...
	If women can re-meet the requirements, the minimum requirements for combat service, they ought to have the right to do it, for sure.
	Right.
	They ought to be focused on...
	The right to do it.
	Yeah, the right.
	It's a constitutional right.
	It's a new right.
	Sure.
	It ought to be focused on the morale as well.
	We ought to make sure that we have readiness much higher than we do today.
	We need to eliminate the sequester, which is devastating our military.
	We can't be...
	Focusing on the political side of this, we need to realize that our military force is how we project our word in the world.
	When we are weak militarily, it doesn't matter what we say.
	We can talk about red lines and ISIS being the JV team and reset buttons and all this.
	If we don't have a strong military, then no one fears us and they take actions that are against our national interests.
	Tell me what you'd say to American people out there.
	Who are sitting at home, who have daughters, who might worry about those answers and might worry that the draft is reinstituted.
	Well, the draft's not going to be reinstituted, but why if women are accessing...
	But should you just go away with it?
	No, I didn't say that.
	You asked the question not about the draft, you asked about registering.
	And if women are going to be supporting...
	You register for the draft.
	We don't have a draft.
	I'm not suggesting we have a draft.
	What I'm suggesting is that we...
	That was not necessary.
	He dug it in himself.
	He didn't have to say that.
	Idiot.
	This guy needs practice.
	You register for the draft.
	We don't have a draft.
	I'm not suggesting we have a draft.
	What I'm suggesting is that we ought to have readiness being the first priority of our military, and secondly, that we make sure that the morale is high.
	And right now, neither one of those are acceptable because we've been gutting the military budget.
	We also need to reform our procurement process.
	We need to make sure that they're more...
	No, we haven't.
	No, we haven't.
	We haven't.
	This is a lie.
	Oh.
	This is why it's a shit show, man.
	I'm glad you did this.
	I'm glad you got clips.
	I was just...
	It was nuts.
	Well, here we go.
	So then we get to the last one of these.
	It's insulting.
	The whole thing is insulting.
	Can we play the Ruby on ISIS with absurd generality?
	No.
	But we will now.
	Yeah, let's play that.
	Senator Rubio, you said in the last debate that ISIS is the most dangerous jihadist group in the history of mankind.
	There it is.
	Stop.
	Hey, Genghis Khan called.
	Genghis Khan.
	What about Mohammed himself?
	That was the original jihad.
	They took over half of Europe.
	They took over Turkey, Spain, Southern Europe, and this little group in their Toyotas.
	And he just goes on with this bull crap.
	This guy, he makes the most moronic statements.
	I can tell you what's happening.
	They structured the question.
	This is Martha.
	She structured the question.
	Why didn't she say, this is the stupidest thing anyone has ever said?
	There's Hitler.
	There's Genghis Khan.
	There's the original jihadist, Mohammed.
	Who took over the whole shebang.
	Are you kidding me with this stupid comment?
	That's the question I have.
	I can tell you what happened with Rubio.
	This is what I saw.
	He was...
	Now, it could be a number of substances, but let's just say it was Adderall.
	This guy was pumped on speed of some sort.
	He came in drinking water.
	He was on stage drinking water.
	Now that you mention that.
	But wait.
	He crashed.
	You could see him physically...
	It was three hours, and he couldn't get to the bathroom.
	To bump up or whatever he had to do.
	This guy was high.
	He was high.
	I'm telling you...
	You might be right, because I saw a clip of him going to his nose...
	In a very suspicious way.
	Suspicious way.
	It wasn't just like he, you know, had a nose itch.
	He went to his nose, and he kind of went across it, and then he rubbed it, and then he tapped it, and then he kind of did a whole rigmarole around his nose.
	I think if it was anything, it was probably that.
	And he couldn't get to the bathroom.
	Here's what I want to see one of these guys do.
	They get into a pinch like this, and then they reach into their pocket, grab a pill bottle, unscrew it, tap a couple, throw it in their mouth, and then drink a glass of water and go back to work.
	I think you might have hit it.
	I did notice this other thing.
	I forgot to bring it up.
	But he was really...
	Now I'm hearing his lisp.
	Ah.
	Now you brought the other issue up.
	I'm telling you.
	I'm not going to say cocaine, but I'm going to say there was speed or something.
	And he crashed.
	He crashed.
	You could just see.
	It melted down.
	And sweating.
	Lots of sweating.
	A lot of sweating.
	But again, why are they asking stupid questions like this when the question is...
	Because they're all high.
	That's why they're all...
	I think the whole group was all railed up before the show.
	Yeah.
	Senator Rubin, you said in the last debate that ISIS is the most dangerous jihadist group in the history of mankind, and that it will take overwhelming U.S. force to defeat them.
	Can you specifically tell us what you mean by overwhelming force?
	First, we need to understand who they are.
	ISIS is not just a jihadist group, they're an apocalyptic group.
	They want to trigger a showdown in a city named Dabit between the West and themselves, which they believe will trigger the arrival of their messianic figure.
	Hold on a second.
	I haven't heard this Dabik part.
	Oh, yes.
	I thought you had.
	Wikipedia's got the best rundown of it.
	It's a little town...
	Is that where the temple is?
	It's spelled D-A-B-I-Q or something like that.
	D-A-B-I-Q, I thought.
	Let's see if you can find it while I'm talking.
	The basic thesis is that this will be where the apocalypse takes place between the caliphate and the Europeans, specifically.
	Not the Sunnis, like he's going to go into, the Sunnis have got to do this.
	No, no, no.
	Wait, John, is this where the temple is that they moved?
	They moved some special...
	I don't know about that.
	I don't know about moving a temple.
	All I know is that this town is in some scripture of theirs.
	And this is where the big fight's going to take place.
	I've known about this for a while.
	And I was thinking we could do a lot of discussion of it.
	We could do that in the future.
	Yeah, I'm looking at it now.
	I'm thinking, why don't we just accept this thesis?
	Yeah.
	Bring him into the beak, bring in the NATO, and just take him out completely, this whole group, blow up the town, and then let them deal with the fact that there's not going to be an apocalypse that they wanted.
	Booby-trap the beak.
	But he knows about it.
	But then he goes into this Sunni nonsense, which has got nothing to do with it.
	And he is talking at a little faster pace, I think, than a normal person would talk.
	He's very rehearsed.
	Yeah.
	They're an apocalyptic group.
	They want to trigger a showdown in a city named Debeek between the West and themselves, which they believe will trigger the arrival of their messianic figure.
	And I'm not saying that's what's going to happen.
	The reason why it's important to understand.
	Okay.
	Yeah, he goes on and on with this nonsense.
	Yeah.
	The thing he ignores is the Sunni Arabs are all in.
	I mean, not all of them, obviously, but the ones that are in that area, a lot of them are all, you know, who you think comprises this group.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	I have a couple of clips around that surrounded the debate.
	Unless you have something else you want to throw in there?
	I don't think I have any more.
	Okay.
	After the debate, some jabroni stuck a camera in Trump's face, asked the following question.
	You said you want to do something worse than waterboarding.
	What would that be?
	You'll find out.
	And he walks away.
	But actually, you'll find out.
	You'll be the one to find out, son.
	That's what's going to happen.
	This popped up, although it didn't get a lot of coverage.
	Someone has nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
	The director of the Peace Research Institute of Oslo confirmed the reports to CNN. The nominator's name won't be released, but the letter reportedly praises Trump's peace through strength ideology to deter ISIS and to nuclear Iran.
	The other nominees include the Greek Island Groups Welcoming Syrian Refugees, the Negotiators Who Ended a Five-Decade Civil War in Colombia, and Edward Snowden.
	Dumb.
	I like that he's been nominated.
	That's funny.
	Follow-up here.
	Let's see.
	Oh, another one of those hit pieces from Jeannie Most who you like so much?
	Uh-huh.
	On CNN. She did a hit piece using the website trumpdonald.com.
	I thought it was kind of cute.
	Oh, have you seen that?
	Yeah, of course I have.
	Yeah, I played with it.
	It's funny.
	It gets old fast, but it is funny.
	You can't help not play with it.
	Donald likes to put his name on things, but when Trump lashed out at the Cruz campaign after coming in second in Iowa...
	Oh, that voter fraud!
	It was Cruz who put Trump's name into a new word for tantrum.
	Or if you like, yet another Trumper tantrum.
	Trumper tantrum was an instant hit.
	It's spelled T-R-U-M-T-E-R-T-A-N-T-R-U-M. Trumper tantrum, it is the word of the day.
	Trumper tantrum.
	It's yet another Trumper tantrum.
	Hashtag Trumper tantrums started to trend and attached to it were the usual assortment of doctored photos, lots of crybabies, not to mention a creepy crybaby.
	Trump is Rambo, the silence of the Trumper tantrum.
	A self-described guitar poet even sang a song.
	I gotta tell you, our producers are better than CNN's.
	That's shit.
	So who actually dreamed up the word Trumper tantrum?
	Apparently it was Ted himself.
	The Cruz campaign told CNN it was all Cruz that it just came to him.
	But did Donald Trump throw a tantrum when he heard this?
	He did say that you basically had a Trumper tantrum.
	Have you ever heard that phrase before?
	I haven't, actually.
	I love that phrase.
	Perfect Trump.
	This Trump is so good.
	That is so good.
	Just like...
	I actually like that phrase.
	I actually like that phrase.
	I may have to...
	That's good.
	I'm going to trademark it.
	And if you ever feel a Trump-inspired tantrum coming on, don't blow your top.
	Blow a trumpet.
	At the top of the Donald, a Swedish ad agency created this for fun.
	How do you say Trumper tantrum in Swedish?
	Genie Moe, CNN.
	Trumper tantrum.
	New York.
	Well, she definitely made something out of nothing.
	She's a good producer.
	Yeah, I know.
	That's why I clipped it for you, because I know you like her.
	And then finally, CNN this morning, all last night, because of course they didn't have the debate, all they're doing is saying, hey, we were not responsible for the Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, fracas, the tweets, anything.
	The guy was in the special 3D room with the big magic board explaining the timeline exactly.
	Are you interested?
	Huh?
	What?
	Are you interested in that clip?
	Yeah.
	I knew you walked away.
	Where'd you go?
	How would you say you knew I walked away?
	I felt it.
	Oh, man.
	At no time did CNN say that Ben Carson was dropping out of this race.
	Not online, not on air, not anywhere.
	And for Ted Cruz to stand on stage once again tonight and suggest that CNN did is a flat-out lie.
	I don't think that's happened very often.
	Cruz is a liar.
	He is.
	He's a snake.
	He looks like a snake.
	Actually, it's over.
	I don't want to listen to it.
	All that's missing is a little tongue darting in and out like Carrie's.
	Exactly.
	I don't think I really want to hear this one anymore.
	I'm so tired of it.
	What?
	This clip.
	CNN just says it wasn't us.
	Trust me, that's what they said.
	Alright, well...
	I think that was it.
	We can't do this for the rest of the year.
	If they have to do something new and exciting on these shows...
	It's the same discussions.
	Yes.
	The debate should be ended.
	Yeah, I agree.
	It's just do campaign advertising now.
	I mean, Hillary wants to do debates because she fell behind and now she wants to do a bunch of debates and she didn't want to do any.
	Yeah.
	You know, she wanted to coast into the job, get coronated.
	In that case, maybe I should just thank you for your courage and passion and say in the morning to you, John C., where the C stands for caucusing Dvorak.
	Well, I want to thank you for your courage.
	Also, I want to thank the ships at sea, boots on the ground, subs in the water.
	That our listeners happen to be on those vessels.
	Those on the vessels.
	And then the dames and the knights, they should be thanked.
	And in the morning to everybody in the chat room, noagendastream.com.
	Thanks for being here on Super Bowl Sunday.
	I know you've got something else to do.
	You know, cooking pigs in a blanket or whatever.
	Of course, in the morning to our foreign listeners who have nothing better to do on a Sunday.
	And in the morning to Spades85, who brought us the album art for episode number 796.
	We made a mistake on the title.
	It should have been Nuke Denmark, but we called it Bomb Denmark.
	I didn't hear that later until I listened back to the show and heard the actual quote we took it from, so that was faux pas, I think.
	You know, I was thinking about it at the time...
	I don't know why we didn't choose Nuke.
	It's poetic license.
	But the artwork was great.
	It was Jeb in his little show outfit with his cane and his tux.
	And he'd be saying, please clap.
	Please clap.
	It's a great gag.
	Please clap.
	And he has the hook ready to take him out.
	Please clap.
	And we want to send everyone to noagendaartgenerator.com.
	We always love all the submissions we get and we're always trolling for hope of good ones after the show.
	And thank you to all artists, of course.
	Okay.
	Well, we do have some people to thank some executive producers.
	We didn't get any of the 800 ones, which is unfortunate.
	We did get a few 200s.
	And we got a 45678 from Sir Penonymous.
	Nice.
	He's nice to see all the douches finally pay up.
	Last episode, JCD mentions peers, so I finally added my donations.
	Puts me over the 7,500, which I guess should claim the Upper Peninsula of Michigan or something.
	So we'll give him that.
	And thanks for your passion and courage.
	Thank you for your courage.
	The new donators can keep it up.
	He says, this shit gets better, so don't stop after one hit.
	Which is a reference, similar to the reference given by Michael Sosnin in Suwannee, Georgia.
	His reference, 420.
	420.
	Similar reference.
	Ah, I wonder what that could be.
	Interesting coincidence.
	It's 420 somewhere.
	Thank you for all you do.
	I heard John mention last show that Super Bowl Sunday would be a slow day.
	It is.
	So I thought I would send in a donation.
	We are all rapidly approaching the one-year anniversary of my first donation.
	I gave on my birthday last year.
	So this year, I am completing my first no-agenda knighthood as a birthday present to myself.
	Please check my math.
	Accounting included below.
	Is he enlisted on the Knights?
	I think so.
	As far as the titles, he wants to be Beer Anonymous.
	Hmm.
	Okay.
	He either wants to be Beer Anonymous, if not, he'd like to be known as Sir Snozzages.
	Snozzages of Suwannee, which is what I have on the sheet, so maybe Eric already checked and that's what he's getting.
	Sir Snozzages of Suwannee.
	I'd rather give him beer anonymous.
	Now, referencing an old nickname that came about when no one could pronounce my last name.
	Sosnan.
	I also wanted to make a request, hopefully this will be better received than the last one, which was to add a bit of the pre-stream to the end of the show.
	No.
	Oh, no.
	No, show up for the lives.
	We're consistent with that one.
	Yeah, no.
	That's not going to happen.
	Show up to the live stream.
	You want to hear this pre-stream?
	Yeah, just go listen.
	Yeah.
	I had no agenda, friends, think it is hilarious that I started a JCD rant on video podcasts.
	So the request is, can producer more talented than I created an Obama no-no-no ditty to the theme song of the Munsters television show?
	I'll wrap up.
	Yeah, of course.
	What was the Munsters television show?
	The Munsters.
	Yeah, but how did the theme go?
	I don't know.
	Hmm.
	Doesn't come to mind.
	You sure doesn't mean the Addams Family?
	Because that would work.
	The Addams Family.
	No, no, no, no.
	Hey!
	Hey!
	No, no, no, no.
	This is an era where we had a bunch of these kinds of shows where we had the Addams Family and then the Munsters came along.
	I think that Addams Family was first.
	I'll wrap this up by confirming that Uncle Bob Johnson is still a douchebag.
	Uh-oh.
	Douchebag!
	And can I please get a Fear is Freedom followed by an Amen Fist bump and some Karma.
	And then he's got his accounting.
	fear is freedom subjugation is liberation contradiction is truth those are the facts of this world and you will all surrender to them you pigs in human clothing Amen.
	Fist bump.
	You've got karma.
	All right.
	Onward to 369.99 in Aurora, Colorado.
	Anonymous will be knighted as Sir Anonymous of the ADF. Got it.
	Maybe he does bookkeeping.
	I don't know what ADF is.
	It could be Directional Finder, Aviation Directional Finder.
	I don't know.
	It doesn't say.
	Okay.
	He wrote a two-page long six-point typewritten note.
	I'll read pieces of it.
	This is the sixth time I've contributed monetarily to the show.
	I'm still unwilling to allow my true identity to be revealed on the show.
	Okay.
	The conservatives in HR and security always frown upon the involvement of their subjects in any public endeavor.
	So he's in HR and security.
	So he can't use his name.
	Got it.
	He goes on and says...
	You provide a unique service in today's slurry of shills, blowhards, and stooges.
	The news in America is suffering its total sellout.
	The mainstream outlets of lies and propaganda are clearly biased in oh so many ways.
	If not for your twice-weekly dose of reality, I would find myself caught up in the fear-mongering, pseudoscientific technobabble, and the pharmo-corporate illusion that so many citizens take for reality.
	So here I am, donating again.
	As I have stated before, you must continue your work.
	It is vital to our nation's interests, and the American people deserve your third-tier comedy news network.
	Third-tier.
	I don't know if it's an insult or not, but he does say, since it's been more than a year since I last donated, may I please have a de-douching, a boom shakalaka, and a little dose of karma?
	Yeah, boom shakalaka.
	Okay, what was the first thing you wanted?
	Uh, de-douching?
	Oh, de-douching.
	Yeah, I got it.
	I got it.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	There we go.
	Alright, thank you so much.
	And then Archduke Sir Duane Melanson, Pacific Northwest, $333.33 in Tigard.
	You know, there's a couple people from Tigard.
	They should get together.
	You guys should get together.
	And then the Archduke could, you know, have it at his house.
	There you go.
	He's got an Archduke's house.
	ITM from your newest Archduke.
	I missed the super storm of donations, but here's some value.
	Anyway, speaking of value, I just finished Lilyhammer Season 1 on Adam's recommendation.
	It's an outstanding product.
	It is.
	And it gives you a real insight into the subplot of that show about the integration of immigrants into the European states.
	And in this case...
	And he says, karma for all the producers out there.
	Yes, we got that for them, of course.
	Of course we got some karma.
	You've got karma.
	Dropping down to associate producer for show 797, which will be the next Boeing jet.
	Edward Sheets, Sir Sheets of the Baronet of the Cuban Leaf.
	Cigar Spoker, obviously.
	23456, one of my favorite donations in Brewerton, New York.
	Lads, you rock.
	It's been a while, and I apologize for the donation hiatus between the divorce, hernia surgery, my lady going overseas to teach for 10 months, and putting down my 12-year-old golden retriever.
	It's been a rough five or six months.
	Dude, it's a country song.
	It is a country slum.
	Depends on the name of the dog.
	Anyways, it's been expensive.
	I appreciate the value for what you guys do.
	Thank you for your great work and your courage.
	Please give me a de-douching, another one, for the hiatus of a much-needed relationship karma.
	All right, Ed Sheets or Sheets, Baronet of the Cuban Leaf.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	All right, thank you so much, sir.
	Welcome back.
	David Hoffman in Enola, Pennsylvania.
	These will be $200 celebration contributions.
	We appreciate these enormously.
	This is 800 quarters.
	David Hoffman in Enola, Pennsylvania.
	Jobs Karma for John Jensen.
	N3QZC. N3. November 3, Quebec Zulu Charlie.
	From November 3, PRO. And I think we should always do this for our hams?
	When the apocalypse comes, we're the guys who are going to save the world, right?
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	It's our new ham shout-out.
	I like it.
	Yeah.
	It hits the spot.
	Seven threes from Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie.
	Don O'Malley in St.
	Paul, Minnesota.
	200.
	This donation should put me over the top for my knighthood accounting of email to Adam.
	I would like to request the title of Sir Doom, Liberator of the Hennepin Slaves.
	Okay.
	This should also put me on the right side of value for value.
	Finally, I would like to request an official de-douching.
	There's a lot of de-douching going on today.
	That's good.
	Both of you pick your favorite jingle and give karma to all the producers listening.
	Mine will be clippity-clop.
	No, no.
	She came, he went, he died.
	That's what I want.
	We've got to remind people of that one.
	Both of you pick your favorite geniuses.
	Karma to all the producers listening to the best podcast in the universe.
	Thank you and all the producers for your courage and I hope the show never ends.
	And I need to, because we talk about clippity-clop, but we haven't really explained that to anybody.
	We explained it when we first...
	Yeah, but that was when she was Secretary of State, and she would always come through with some dignitary to see the press, and they open up the big double doors, and then you have this, I don't know, maybe six or seven feet until you hit the carpet.
	Yeah, and she was always wearing clunkers or hot heels or something.
	I think it was her hooves.
	She'd make a racket.
	No, it was just her hooves.
	Clunk, clunk, clunk.
	So we named her Clippity Clop.
	Yeah, that's the background.
	We probably need to remind people about stuff like that.
	Yeah, from time to time.
	Absolutely.
	So, I mean, that is the land of unconfirmed videos.
	We came, we saw, we died.
	You've got karma.
	That's right.
	Killed him.
	Killed Gaddafi.
	So happy.
	Sir Dave Cost, Black Knight of Arlington, Texas, $200.
	Hey guys, I was doing a douchebag check and realized it's been a year since I donated.
	This is an interesting day today because a number of people have said this.
	Time to give you a Super Bowl weekend boost.
	I've also realized I'm now a baronet and didn't realize that I recently quit my job to run my video on motion graphics company, Nexus Motion.
	I'm working there full time.
	I'm also concentrating more on my motion graphics tutorial site, brograph.com.
	It's the best move I've ever made and I've never been happier.
	So I need a dose of karma to keep it going.
	Of course.
	Like a de-douching followed by, can you see the juice?
	Adam, sorry I was sick for the Dallas meetup.
	I have a bottle of Talisker.
	Talisker.
	I'll take the Talisker.
	Send the Talisker to the alcohol expert in California.
	Scotch with your name on it.
	Next time I'm in Austin, I'll bring it by.
	You were missed at the meeting.
	What year?
	I'm sorry.
	How old?
	Is it an old one?
	Is it an old bottle like an 18?
	Or is it a 12?
	By the time I actually get to drink it, it'll be 18.
	You've been de-douched.
	Oh my gosh!
	Can you see that juice?
	You've got karma.
	Sorry, but I nailed that one.
	So that's it for the, we didn't get a lot of 200s I expected.
	That's the 800 quarters.
	800 quarters.
	800 quarters, yeah.
	Very nice.
	But we're heading toward the roundup, you know, coming up soon.
	We expect to get quite a few on our actual 800th show.
	Mm-hmm.
	Well, these credits remain incredibly real, just like all credits are in the movies, on television, wherever you see that.
	They should be accepted.
	If not, we're happy to vouch for you.
	Douchebags in Hollywood sometimes think their credits are the only ones that matter, but that is not how it works here at the Best Podcast in the Universe.
	And we'll have another show.
	Yes?
	Well, I'm going to say on the ID, the internet, the movie, whatever it is.
	IDMF? IMDB? I don't know what the letters are.
	IMDB? Yeah.
	You can put it in there if you have an IMDB page.
	You can, and there's lots of crazy stuff in there when you start looking.
	People are putting the website, they produced a website, they put it in there.
	Give me a break.
	Remember, we have another show coming up on Thursday.
	And during the Super Bowl today, if you're here in the United States of America, propagate our formula, will ya?
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Hey, citizens.
	Shut up, slaves!
	Shut up, slaves!
	Nice one.
	Hey, Reverend Manning.
	Ah.
	Yes.
	So you'll notice I got the jingle back.
	Get to talk about that!
	That was the one we were missing a while back.
	Ah.
	But something is odd that we have big trouble with Pastor Manning.
	Big, big trouble.
	Yes, his church went into foreclosure in New York and is now going to be sold at auction.
	And this is a very offensive clip, so I want to set everybody up for that.
	It's extremely offensive, but it's Manning.
	And quite honestly, Manning, we love this guy just because he's nuts.
	Fun nuts.
	It started with this.
	Hello!
	That was when you talk about President Obama.
	He's a long-legged mac daddy.
	And got all kinds of crazy clips from this guy over the years.
	But now he's very, very worried.
	Actually, he's not worried because he thinks it'll never happen.
	And these horrible people who want to buy his church from foreclosure from him.
	It's not going to happen because God will not have this.
	Again, not safe for work.
	In fact, can I share this with you to all the Sodomites?
	I think that you're going to purchase this church and foreclose yourself.
	Let me tell you something.
	Before you can ever own the Lord's house, because that's what this is.
	This is the Lord's house.
	This ain't no damn bath house.
	This ain't no fag house.
	This is the Lord's house.
	And before you can ever own this property, hook or crook to own this property, Men who are fags with testicles will be carrying babies in their testicles and giving birth to them through their anus.
	That's how impossible it is for you to get in this house.
	When you start carrying a baby in your bag and birthing that baby through your ass.
	Then, you can own this house.
	Until I see you pull a baby out your ass, you ain't gonna pull this church out if money needs to us.
	And boom, shakalaka goes right there.
	And all you fags can go to hell!
	Whoa!
	Yeah, he's offensive.
	Yeah, very offensive.
	I learned where the word fag comes from.
	Oh.
	Do you know where it comes from?
	Well, I believe it's a British term, is it?
	Well, so fags is what, back in the day when they were burning witches at the stake, fags was a bundle of kindling wood, which of course makes sense why the...
	Oh, right.
	I did know that.
	Yeah, so the Brits then said, oh, this bundle of cigarettes is, you know, is fags, because you burn them and you smoke them.
	That's kind of how that translated throughout the centuries.
	Yeah.
	But when they were burning witches, they were also burning homosexuals, but they didn't want to waste any, you know, like stake on the homosexuals.
	They just threw them in the fire along with the other kindling, and that is how the word fags came about, which is pretty offensive when you think about it.
	I find it hard to believe.
	Oh, well, I'm sure someone will...
	Snopes!
	Wrong!
	Curry, you're wrong!
	Snopes!
	Yeah, that's what I heard.
	I thought it was a pretty...
	I've never heard that.
	It was a decent explanation.
	I've always wondered where it came from.
	Did you read it?
	No, this came from a gay guy on...
	When did I see this?
	I think it might have been Louis C.K., one of his really old shows.
	We're sitting around with a bunch of comedians, and one's gay, and then he explains where...
	It sounded believable.
	Well, most of the bullshit in the world sounds believable, or it wouldn't be transmitted from person to person.
	Normally, I wouldn't bring it up, but Manning...
	No, no, I think it's fine.
	Now we can use something else to do.
	Yeah.
	Manning is off his rocker, though.
	Oh, he's lost it.
	That's out of control.
	Totally lost it.
	Just crazy.
	Okay, what I focused on was we had a lot of stuff going on in Geneva this past week with two initiatives.
	One was the UN negotiations between the Russians, the Syrian government, the quote-unquote moderate opposition.
	Everybody's in there trying to do their thing, trying to hook everybody up.
	And we had the big Syria donation campaign.
	Which is really what I thought.
	I couldn't understand where this was coming from.
	It was so new and we didn't have a lot of information about it.
	What this donation drive was for.
	What was it called again?
	It was Supporting Syria or something like that.
	And, let me see, so we had John Kerry speaking at the event.
	I only took a very short clip, not to bore you.
	After almost five years of fighting, it's pretty incredible that as we come here to London in 2016, the situation on the ground is actually worse, not better.
	And the suffering in Syria grows.
	It's not diminishing.
	So we all understand, and I'm not going to go through all of it, as the Secretary said, we know Most of the details of what is happening, but obviously if people are reduced to eating grass and leaves and killing stray animals in order to survive on a day-to-day basis.
	I haven't seen these reports.
	I have not heard any that people are eating grass.
	Grass and stray animals.
	Kind of sounds like where we're headed anyway.
	With bugs and everything.
	Grass and bugs.
	Won't we all be eating that soon?
	Bugs!
	Reduced to eating grass and leaves and killing stray animals in order to survive on a day-to-day basis.
	That is something that should tear at the conscience of all civilized people, and we all have a responsibility to respond to it.
	Now, here's the response from the United States side.
	So, we are called on to act today, and act we will.
	To date, the United States has provided over $4.5 billion.
	Whoa, man.
	Did you know this?
	$4.5 billion going straight to Syria for help?
	Yeah.
	Sounds like bullcrap to me.
	I help Syrian refugees in those displaced within Syria.
	And I am proud that that makes us, to date, the largest single donor from external in the world.
	There are countries like Turkey and others who have a huge burden.
	Yeah, as old as Europeans, where's their money?
	Well, hold on.
	And out of their budgets, they are trying to meet that.
	So today, the United States is announcing our latest contribution, which is over $925 million.
	medical care and other vital relief to millions of people inside of Syria and across the region.
	It also includes 325 million in development assistance, 290 million of which is new funding specifically to support schooling for 300,000 refugee youth in Jordan and Lebanon, meaning directly, hopefully, the challenge that we face here today. meaning directly, hopefully, the challenge that we face here today.
	And just for the record, I cut out every single pause the guy made in that speech.
	Otherwise, we'd be going on for hours.
	So I went investigating.
	What is this money for?
	Where is it going to?
	If it's going to Lebanon and Jordan, it's probably just going in somebody's pocket.
	Well, let's listen to the brand new United Nations refugees chief.
	Around 35,000 Syrian refugees have arrived.
	I'm sorry.
	That's the wrong one.
	Here it is.
	Refugees chief.
	And we heard, and you heard my interview with the Prime Minister of Norway, co-sponsor here, and Britain has doubled its aid.
	And Britain and the United States, I understand, are the two biggest aid givers to the Syrian refugees.
	But what about what Jordan has said?
	We can't cope.
	We're, you know, at boiling point.
	If you want us to help them, you have to help us.
	So there you go.
	Yeah, you were right on the right track, John.
	The five neighboring countries have taken in four and a half million people.
	Is this part of the West Clark Seven, you think?
	This is many, many times more the number of people that came to Europe.
	Look at Europe's reaction to that.
	Those countries really have the biggest share of the burden.
	So I think what they say is correct.
	And I'm happy that this conference goes into that direction.
	Help them as well.
	And this is the no man's land, which has caused a lot of attention over the last seven days.
	You tell me, there's something like...
	Sorry?
	I'm just listening to her voice.
	What's her name?
	Anampur.
	Anampur.
	16 to 20,000 Syrians waiting between Syria and Jordan, and Jordan's only letting in 45 to 50 per day.
	That's another aspect, because they have very serious security concerns, given that those people are arriving from areas...
	They're children and babies...
	The children.
	The children and babies, look at the pictures.
	And women.
	We've spoken to the Jordanians and I think they'll increase the rate of people coming in by day.
	But it is also legitimate that they do security checks, like any country would do.
	Do you think that Jordan is going to agree to give them work permits?
	Is there a deal that you've heard about?
	The Prime Minister told me there may be preferential trade deals and sort of, you know, things to help Jordan in its own economy.
	Maybe some more war stuff, some more training camps we could provide.
	I think if the package goes through, we will see a massive increase in work permits in Jordan.
	I'm pretty sure about that.
	So, you mentioned, you know, if we don't get an end to this, it's going to be coming back every year for these kinds of billions.
	I mean, what hope do you have for a political solution?
	Look at this much-vaunted proximity talks that they can't even get proximity.
	They've suspended them.
	Well, when you do the work that I do, you have to remain hopeful to an extent.
	At least they have to stop talking.
	They postponed the next session.
	Let's hope that they will see the light and take the responsibility to bring peace.
	Do you think it's possible, because it's clear that one of the big backers, Russia, which has a veto in the Security Council, is bombing Assad's way to get more territory and to have a better hand at the negotiating table?
	I think it would be very difficult to bring the sides together, but I don't think it's impossible.
	And I hope that all those that make decisions look at those images of people suffering.
	They should be reminded that to put an end to their suffering is their responsibility.
	All right.
	Well, no one gives a shit.
	Trust me.
	So he's hopeful.
	It doesn't seem so hopeful if we look at what happened during the negotiation stopped and we had the foreign minister of the UN come out, followed by the, not Lavrov, but a different Russian, I think the Russian ambassador to the UN. The Turkish Foreign Minister was invited to an EU Foreign Minister's meeting in Amsterdam on Saturday where he was told his country had to take in the refugees massing on its Syrian border.
	A mass of refugees from Aleppo are already crowded into Bab el-Salama.
	More than double this number are reported to be on their way.
	Several EU Ministers reminded the Turkish Foreign Minister of Turkey's international obligations.
	It is unquestionable the fact that people coming from inside Syria are Syrians in need for international protection.
	And on top of that, that the support that the European Union is providing to Turkey, among others, is aimed exactly at guaranteeing that Turkey has the means, the instruments, the resources to protect and to host people that are seeking asylum.
	Greece has been much criticized for its initial response, but has improved controls.
	And on Lesbos, one of the EU's hotspot centers is taking shape with better housing and facilities.
	That was obviously the wrong clip.
	That was about the EU's response.
	Here's the UN response.
	As thousands flee the intense fighting around the Syrian city of Aleppo...
	A diplomatic row has broken out at the UN in New York, where the French ambassador to the United Nations slammed the Syrian government and its allies for scuppering the Geneva peace talks.
	The Syrian regime and its allies have made no concessions, quite the contrary.
	On one hand, the Syrian regime claims to discuss peace in Geneva, On the other, it intensifies its military offensive against opposition groups with which it's supposed to discuss a peace plan.
	Russia took a swipe at the Syrian opposition groups and their backers.
	So those people who have encouraged the opposition to essentially walk out of the talks, who have been refusing our continued offers for them to arrange really practical cooperation between us On the ground in Syria,
	the situation continues to deteriorate.
	So it sounds like they're still trying to get the Assad must go thing pushed through.
	Unbelievable.
	They have to...
	You've lost that game.
	Let's stop this.
	It's becoming a joke.
	Yeah, it is.
	But it's about face, I guess, at this point.
	Losing face or whatever it is.
	I thought we were the ones who were always griping about, oh, the Asian cultures.
	Oh, you can't do anything.
	You have to do this or that because they're going to lose face.
	We're the worst at this.
	And we are.
	We're going to lose face.
	Oh, we're going to show weakness.
	And once we do that, we're going to get bombed by the Russians.
	I mean, this seems to be the logic.
	yeah um meanwhile I only have one more update We've never been able to say we're wrong.
	Ever.
	And he even suggested with that stupid first Iraq war from George Bush II. You know, everyone gets bent out of shape.
	We have what they call the jungle.
	In Calais, where they have all the tents and the guys are trying to, mainly guys, are trying to jump on the trucks and hang under the trucks, on top of the trucks, anything to get through the tunnel to the UK. They're so frustrated now, they're trying a different tact, which is really not a good way to go.
	It's not often that migrants attempt to get into Britain the hard way by crossing the channel from France on their own.
	However, conditions are so bad in Calais' migrant jungle that some are prepared to risk their lives to get out of it.
	Five migrants attempted the crossing in a three-meter boat on Saturday, but one of them swam back to shore for help after the boat took on water.
	The men had a lucky escape, but still needed treatment.
	They wouldn't have held out for much longer.
	One of them had severe hypothermia.
	They were just exhausted and mostly scared by their misadventure.
	The jungle continues to grow despite the French authorities opening other facilities and at its busiest was home for some 5,000 people.
	Now it remains a place of despair with inadequate sanitation and poor protection from the elements.
	That's always been your pet peeve.
	Are they pooping on the ground?
	Yeah, it's bad.
	Yeah, poop on the ground.
	The English Channel is the worst.
	It's not something you just want to navigate.
	You can't get in a rowboat and go across it.
	I mean, I remember before the Channel, you'd take these ferries across.
	I mean, I've taken every vehicle you can take.
	The one thing that's kind of okay is the hovercraft.
	It gets over there pretty quickly.
	It gets really bouncy, the hovercraft.
	It's bouncy, but it's not as slow, sickening, horrible type of ride to get on the ferries.
	Yeah.
	Everybody's puking on the ferry.
	I can't take that ferry.
	So when you're going to take the ferry in those days, of course this tip is useless now because nobody takes the ferry, but you rush to the purser's office as soon as you get on the boat and buy a cabin.
	And the cabins are cheap.
	They're like 20 bucks or 15 bucks and worth it because there's a bed in there.
	And so you get in the cabin and you bed down and puke and hold on to dear life.
	Meanwhile, the State Department, we have lots of questions, very annoying, coming up.
	We have now heard that Saudi Arabia has said they are prepared to put boots on the ground into Syria.
	And this question came up in Admiral Kirby's Q&A for the State Department.
	Military spokesperson just told reporters that the Saudis are ready to participate with ground troops in any operation by the U.S.-led coalition inside Syria against ISIL. Do you have a reaction to that?
	I hadn't seen those comments.
	So, again, I'm not at liberty to speak to the Sovereign Military decisions of another nation, I haven't seen those.
	Would that be a welcome contribution from the Saudis?
	I mean, they've done some airstrikes in the past, but would this be a welcome part, addition to the fight against ISIL? Obviously, in general, we want, we certainly, as we've said, we want members of the coalition against Daesh to look for ways to do more.
	And he comes back with Daesh again.
	This guy's always talking, everyone's doing ISIL, everybody's doing ISIL, maybe ISIS, and he keeps doing Daesh.
	I find that highly annoying.
	He's never signed off on it.
	No.
	Then we had the RT hottie.
	Do you remember her name?
	By the way, before you leave that completely, a whole segment of Newsnight was devoted to the Saudis blowing up everything they can.
	Did you get anything?
	I haven't, but I didn't put it on today's show.
	I'll bring it back.
	Anything good?
	No, that's what otherwise it would have been on today's show.
	It's just mostly the Saudi ambassador going, ah, well, people lie.
	It's not true.
	These are all reports that are, we're not doing anything wrong enough to blow up shit.
	Chop someone's head off.
	Who's the RT hottie?
	What's her name?
	From Russia.
	Chaya.
	What's her name?
	Yeah, the girl.
	It's just going to be RT hottie.
	Okay, we'll call her.
	We can never pronounce her name.
	No, we can't.
	And Kirby hates her.
	Oh, my God.
	He hates her.
	And he lets himself get so rattled.
	He looks so weak when he does this.
	She asked a very simple question saying, hey, you know, the U.S. said, yeah, the Russians can't be flying into Turkish airspace.
	And there was a report that another Russian jet flew into Turkish airspace and the U.S. condemned it.
	And RT Hadi is asking something very simple.
	Do you have proof that it happened after Turkey claimed that a Russian jet violated its airspace last week?
	The Pentagon confirmed this on Saturday.
	Russia denies having crossed Turkish airspace and demands proof.
	Will the U.S. provide evidence?
	You know, you're so good at asking these questions that it's the United States' responsibility to provide proof of what Russia's doing, which I find incredibly comical.
	It's not our job to confirm for the Russians what they're doing.
	What I can say is...
	The Pentagon confirmed it, so it must have something that it faces its conclusion on, right?
	You go ahead and finish, and then when you're done, I'll talk.
	Go ahead.
	Go ahead.
	More?
	Me?
	Me?
	We are aware of reports, and we can confirm, that on the 29th of January, another Russian combat aircraft violated Turkish and NATO airspace.
	As we've stated, after past incidents, the United States joins NATO in standing in solidarity with Turkey, and we call on Russia to respect Turkish airspace and cease activities that risk further heightening instability in the region.
	It's important that the Russians and the Turks talk to each other and to take measures to prevent escalation.
	Russia denies having done that and asks for proof.
	Will the U.S. provide proof?
	It's not our responsibility to provide proof to the Russians for something they did wrong.
	Hang on a second.
	Sorry.
	What I said in my last comment there, we want the Russians and the Turks to talk about this and to share the appropriate amount of information so that incidents like this won't happen again.
	But for our part, there's no doubt that they entered Turkish and therefore NATO airspace.
	No doubt at all.
	Is that a right to make an accusation and not provide evidence?
	It's not an accusation.
	It's a fact.
	It's a simple fact.
	Based on what?
	Can you provide pictures of that?
	Anything.
	I've answered your question.
	I've answered your question.
	It's a fact.
	Unbelievable.
	Unbelievable.
	That is unbelievable.
	That guy should be ashamed of himself.
	He's not.
	It's like saying, oh, you burgled the place.
	What proof do you have?
	We don't need proof.
	The burglar has to prove that he didn't.
	It's a fact.
	We all know it's a fact.
	It's like some sort of sick world.
	This is like 1984.
	Like?
	Wow.
	Like?
	But meanwhile...
	It's not an accusation.
	It's a fact.
	Oh, God.
	Yeah, it's just a fact.
	We know it's true.
	Shut up.
	So we had this explosion on the flight from...
	Was it Mogadishu?
	I think it was Mogadishu.
	And they found the guy who was sucked out of the hole.
	And now it looks like we're going to have some more securite things pop up.
	They found the guy?
	Yeah, he was sucked out of his own hole.
	Yeah, I know he sucked out, but this is like finding a needle in the haystack, it seems to me.
	Well, he just looked for the body parts on the ground.
	But they also found the laptop that was responsible for it.
	Very, very worrying.
	What we know at the moment is that the device that investigators believe was the explosive device was actually a laptop.
	Oh, no.
	You know what's coming.
	An explosive device either inside the laptop or it was needed a laptop bomb.
	Laptop bomb, John.
	Laptop bomb.
	The man who was ejected from the plane just over Mogadishu after the plane had taken off is the suspect behind this bombing.
	Now, investigators obviously say that they're not sure if he is a member of any terror group, particularly al-Qaeda-linked militant group al-Shabaab, which is So very active in Mogadishu and in Somalia.
	But they are investigating why exactly he sat in that seat and why the device, which as I said they believe was a laptop bomb, why it was placed in such a strategic place over the wing of the plane, which is over the engines.
	If it had been any higher, it was about 12,000 to 14,000 feet when this device went off.
	If it had been a cruising altitude around 30,000 feet, it would have likely brought the plane down.
	The Terror of Laptop of Doom.
	The Laptop Terror of Doom.
	And this is So two things are annoying about this.
	One, laptop.
	Are we going to have some new, new, new machines?
	Will we move away from the scrubbing, the little wiping down?
	Will we not be able to take laptops on the plane at all?
	Or anywhere near an aircraft.
	And then the placement, that is interesting.
	How did this guy get the right spot?
	I'm going to stop for a second because I don't know if you remember this, but I kind of do.
	There was a moment, and I think it was about five to ten years ago, where there was discussion about disallowing laptops on airplanes altogether.
	Mm-hmm.
	And it became a big fuss because you can't really, if you're a businessman, the whole country would have come to a standstill because you have to bring a laptop with you if you do business on the road.
	You just have to.
	And you can't check them because you can't check anything with lithium-ion in it.
	Nope, nope, nope.
	So I suppose you could check the laptop and carry the lithium-ion battery on your, but then if you do something like an Apple, I don't think you can get the battery out.
	No.
	But I'm, of course, expecting new terror machines, new gear, new something.
	Oh, it's not good enough.
	Yeah, spending more money on crap gear.
	Yeah.
	It's a little wiping thing.
	I've been wiped down a number of times, and I always ask the guys how much often things go off.
	One guy's telling me, he said, you'd be surprised how often it goes off.
	Huh.
	It goes off all the time.
	And I said, well, what causes it?
	He says, it's, you know, using the wrong hand cream.
	Yeah, hand cream.
	That's right.
	Glycerin.
	It has glycerin in it.
	Yeah, glycerin.
	Some cleaners, you know, people are neat freaks.
	They think they're real clean and it's a residue of some sort on there.
	And I asked him if he ever found anything that was actually dangerous, a real bomb, and they haven't, you know, after years and years.
	No, no, no, no.
	Okay.
	Better to be safe than sorry.
	Yeah.
	Alright.
	What you got?
	I got a thing that's kind of interesting that's getting play mostly.
	It's getting play.
	Everyone's playing it, but they're not too sympathetic.
	This is the...
	This is the one from PBS NewsHour, which I thought was probably the best presentation, of Assange getting his letter from the UN saying he's being unlawfully kept.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	A United Nations human rights panel ruled today that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange should be allowed to walk free.
	The group said that he has been arbitrarily detained by the British and Swedish governments, who have long sought to extradite Assange to Sweden to face rape charges that he's denied.
	Assange emerged from the balcony of Ecuador's embassy in London, where he's taken refuge since 2012, to celebrate the panel's findings.
	How sweet it is.
	This is a victory that cannot be denied.
	It is a victory of historical importance, not just for me, for my family.
	Who is he, Churchill?
	Yeah, it also sounds like one of those Churchill recordings.
	Yeah, it sounds like he's Churchill.
	And this is a victory that cannot be denied.
	For my children...
	But for the independence of the UN system.
	Britain's Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond repudiated the UN ruling, which is not legally binding.
	Julian Assange is a fugitive from justice.
	He's hiding from justice in the Ecuadorian embassy.
	He can come out onto the pavement any time he chooses.
	He's not being detained by us.
	Do you say contained or detained?
	I think he said contained.
	Any time he chooses, he's not being detained by us.
	Detained.
	But he will have to face justice in Sweden if he chooses to do so.
	And it's right that he should not be able to escape justice.
	This is, frankly, a ridiculous finding by the working group, and we reject it.
	London police have said that they will arrest Assange if he tries to leave the Ecuadorian embassy.
	It's unclear whether the U.S. is also seeking his arrest related to WikiLeaks' release of hundreds of thousands of secret U.S. documents.
	Hold on a second.
	That's not why he's being sought after in Europe.
	It's for the so-called rape case.
	And she tacks on the end there, it's not clear if the U.S. is going to get him for releasing documents.
	That's not what the case is about.
	No.
	But that's what we know is really going on.
	Yeah.
	As soon as the British release him to the Swedes, the Swedes who are in bed with us...
	They'll extradite him.
	We'll extradite him.
	They'll extradite him to here, and then you got your carnival.
	I think he should just give up and let that happen, because the longer this drags on, the more people start to forget.
	Yeah.
	That's the same realization I had because I have the BBC version of this report, if you're interested.
	It kind of says the same.
	But what I realize is, man, 2010, this guy's been in there?
	Yeah, he's been in too long.
	He's not a cause celebrity anymore.
	He's just some guy stuck in an embassy.
	And people are going to forget, this is too long.
	You can't stretch this out that long.
	Because if he did it a few years ago, he would have had huge protests.
	He could have created a mess in this country.
	And all his girlfriends are now in Berlin.
	They've all run away.
	They don't want nothing to do with him.
	He's letting this drag on too long.
	He's blowing it.
	Here's the BBC report, which was...
	Well, the typical British fashion, I guess.
	The United Nations has now formally released its ruling on the situation of the WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange.
	Now, Mr.
	Assange had sought political asylum in Ecuador's London embassy, and that was to avoid being extradited to Sweden for questioning over sexual assault allegations, allegations which he does deny.
	In the UN's legal opinion on this case, it says that Mr.
	Assange has been arbitrarily detained and has accused the Swedish prosecutors of a lack of diligence.
	Both the Swedish and the UK governments have rejected them.
	Well, hold on a second.
	He hasn't been detained at all, has he?
	He's not detained.
	He wasn't arbitrarily detained.
	That's strange.
	Richard, certainly in terms of a sort of sense of moral victory, Mr.
	Assange must be feeling pretty good.
	They're also offering or suggesting he should be compensated.
	Yes, it certainly is.
	I didn't get that.
	Get some money, yeah.
	A boost for his campaign, I think, that the UN has ruled in the way that it has, very firmly on his side.
	No wiggle room there, really.
	But it is, as you say, I think, a moral victory more than a practical one, because certainly the British and Swedish governments don't believe that there is any legal authority in this report for them to change the way they've been dealing with this situation.
	How does that even work?
	You can't, on one hand, say, we go to the UN to fix all things Syria, fix all the things in the world, but then when they come out with a ruling on something, you get this.
	Do Mr.
	Assange have a plan now?
	Well, I think we're looking at a continuation of the status quo, really.
	Mr.
	Mr. Assange had said before this report was formally released that if it sided with him, he would expect to be given his passport and free passage to Ecuador to take up this offer of political asylum.
	But obviously that is clearly not going to happen.
	The Foreign Office was very emphatic today saying this changes nothing.
	It says it doesn't even recognize the concept of political asylum.
	It didn't sign up for the convention.
	Wait a minute.
	They didn't sign up for the convention?
	I didn't know that.
	What convention could that be?
	I didn't understand.
	Probably something that involved political asylum that was sponsored by the United Nations.
	God knows how many years ago we have to look into this.
	But if that's the case, then they don't have to take any of these refugees either.
	It was very emphatic today, saying this change is nothing.
	It says it doesn't even recognize the concept of political asylum.
	It didn't sign up for the convention supporting it.
	So the Foreign Office was very clear it is going to contest the findings of this UN body.
	And even if it didn't, it still says they carry no legal weight.
	And it is business as usual.
	If Mr Assange chooses to step out from the Ecuadorian embassy, the Metropolitan Police here in London has said very clearly he will be arrested.
	Thank you.
	Now, a couple of things can happen.
	First of all, he's going to have to get out of there.
	He could step out.
	I think his ego is in the way, man.
	Something's in the way.
	Well, you heard that speech, that Churchill speech.
	Oh, the Churchill speech was the worst.
	Yeah.
	So he could step out, get arrested, and then fight extradition, which could take years.
	Right.
	I mean, there's a bunch of crazy Arabs that are in England that have snuck out of one country or another.
	How hard can it be?
	And they've been fighting it.
	Yeah.
	And he probably could get some of the best lawyers, and they'd probably end up getting out on bail and could float around.
	I mean, as long as he can get out of the building undetected, which I think is possible.
	You know, they said, if you remember, we talked about it on the show about six months ago, they said they're going to back off on guarding the building, but I don't see any evidence of that.
	No.
	You know, it would have been cheaper.
	You know, it's apparently, if you're in a car on the property and you get in the car, you're still in the embassy.
	I've seen this on movies.
	I don't know.
	It could be bull crap, but it seems possible because I've seen evidence of it.
	They drive in and then you get in their car, the embassy car, and then you can drive to the airport and then you can get on a plane, their plane, and you're all in embassy territory.
	Of course, they could shoot the plane down, but...
	There's no driveway in this particular embassy.
	I think over the last six years he's been stuck in there, they could have built a submarine.
	They could have built a tunnel or something.
	A gyrocopter, anything.
	Sneak him out of there, but they haven't the wherewithal.
	He's got to give himself up.
	Yeah.
	I'm telling you, his ego's in the way.
	It's lasting too long.
	You're right, people won't care.
	Yeah, if something else comes along that's more interesting than him, he'll just be forgotten.
	Right.
	It'll be a footnote, like in 2020.
	Julian Assange gave himself up today to the British authorities.
	Nobody knows what the charges were.
	In fact, they forgot all about it.
	But Sweden took him on some extradition thing, and immediately he went to the United States where he was hung.
	That'll be the way the story goes.
	Drawn and quartered, I tell you.
	Yeah, perfect.
	Something going on here in Texas that I wanted to bring up in regards to Planned Parenthood and Roe v.
	Wade and abortion, the whole conversation here in America.
	Tina was reading an article, I think it might have been in the Austin Chronicle, and it's about House Bill 2 here in Texas.
	And this is all going back.
	The premise of all of the press, I should say, is to say to women in Texas that the bill the Texas legislature wants to pass will make it harder for women to get access to reproductive health care.
	I'm kind of using all of their fuzzy words.
	And the main reason for saying this, and it's this line specifically, that's what I looked for, is the Texas legislature wants to make it difficult for women to get access to reproductive health care.
	And they're doing this through two measures.
	One is all of the...
	If you want to have a clinic, then you have to adhere to certain rules for a clinic, which is kind of doors and things, which may be cost prohibitive in some cases, but I think that's pretty much doable.
	The second one was interesting, that a doctor performing...
	Any type of abortive service must have hospital admission rights to a hospital within 30 miles.
	And it is this particular piece that is making it, well, they have to close down clinics because they're not within 30 miles of a hospital where the doctor has admission rights.
	But again, it's being positioned as, these rules are so crazy that all these clinics are shutting down and women will not be able to travel.
	In Texas, you've got to travel quite a ways sometimes.
	But here's what I found out.
	Admission rights are actually very easy to acquire.
	Almost any doctor, certainly a member of the hospital staff, But almost any doctor can get admission rights to a hospital.
	The reason why they're not getting them is these A-hole hospitals are refusing them because they don't want any of the hassle of, you know, protesters or anything happening.
	So they are right offhand just denying the doctors who live within 30 miles.
	They can't perform within 30 miles, but they are not giving them the admission rights.
	And the hospitals, well, how much is it?
	Two companies that own all hospitals these days?
	Like American Health Care?
	Not two, but it's a lot less than it used to be.
	So, anyone who's interested in this, I think you should take a look at, maybe the hospital should be forced to take this admission, because the rest of the bill is kind of what you'd expect, no third trimester.
	It's a scam.
	This whole thing is set up, especially in Texas, where they don't really want people having abortions.
	Well, no, they don't.
	But you can't...
	So this is all part of this overall scheme.
	I'm sure that this is not the case in all states.
	No.
	But I just want to say to the women of Texas that the main reason the clinics don't have access is because the hospitals are just refusing it.
	They should be forced to take admissions.
	And how are you going to manage to force them without doing legislation, which is obviously going in the wrong direction?
	Yeah, well...
	I'm just saying that this is something that is not brought up at all.
	Somebody should bring up a boycott of some sort, even though you can't find it.
	The medical system in this country is totally hosed.
	It's a mess.
	We've gone beyond the point of no return.
	We cannot let this continue.
	Bernie Sanders is right.
	Thank you for your courage.
	You know, here's what Bernie Sanders, this is why he's probably one of the reasons he's not going to win.
	I got a Bernie Sanders clip here.
	This is on the stump.
	This is Bernie out there.
	I listened to one of his speeches and it's just one blast after another.
	His speeches are very entertaining and I think that's why people are, you know, people have to realize that Trump and Sanders draw rock and roll band crowds.
	Yeah.
	10, 20, 30,000 people come to hear these guys speak.
	Yeah.
	And Sanders packs him in.
	And this is what he sounds like, though.
	But here, if you listen to this clip, this is Sanders on the stump.
	And he's bitching about stuff.
	And I could have played one thing after another.
	I could tell you everything he's bitching about.
	But he's losing his voice.
	And I think he's going to go hoarse.
	And when six major banks have assets of almost 60% of the GDP of this country, yes, we are going to break them up.
	And to the pharmaceutical industry. .
	Hey, hey, hey.
	Hey, kids, that's where you're getting your Adderall and your Vyvanse.
	A little go-easy.
	Which charges us the highest prices in the world for the medicine we need.
	Who have created a situation in which one out of five Americans are unable to buy the medicine their doctors prescribe.
	We say to them, your days of raising prices off the charts are over.
	Well, that brings us to something that happened on the Hill earlier in the week.
	I have a version of this, too.
	Now, let me just tell you what my feeling is on this Martin Shkreli And if you didn't see it...
	It's great.
	Now, what did you...
	I clipped two pieces of his testimony.
	I only clipped one thing.
	I got to clip...
	It's a secondary...
	It's a second-hand clip.
	It came from Democracy Now!
	Where they kind of described what was going on.
	And then they had one of our favorite congressmen ask a specific type of question that his Fifth Amendment answer made it funnier.
	But it wasn't any of the things he said.
	If you saw some of the longer clips, it was the faces.
	He made all these faces.
	He's rolling his eyes.
	And he's a snotty looking guy.
	I mean, I'm almost thinking this guy was cast.
	I thought he was a sim at first.
	This guy's not real.
	He's a hologram.
	Well, I never thought that.
	I always thought he came out of central casting because he has the snottiest look in the world.
	He's an a-hole.
	I mean, it's almost as though he was put into this position just to do this stuff.
	Yes, I agree.
	And based on...
	You probably have the Wu-Tang thing.
	I'm sure that's what you got.
	No, I don't have any Wu-Tang.
	I know about the Wu-Tang.
	Well, let's listen to your clip and then I've got two.
	For those of you...
	If you don't know, this is Martin Shkreli.
	Shkreli.
	This is the guy...
	Let's give a little more background.
	Yeah, you should.
	This is the guy who apparently was a hedge fund manager, so they say, of hedge-funded...
	Not too many people are aware of.
	Well, if the Wikipedia page on him is correct, then...
	Okay, the Wikipedia page is what should be referenced.
	But he bought some little drug company and then changed the price of a generic drug from like a dollar to like 500 bucks or 750 or something really high because nobody else was making this drug and so he figured he could gouge the customer.
	And I believe there's only 3,000 people who actually use this drug.
	Yeah, but it was the whole thing was a set-up.
	A set-up, yes.
	Yes, yes.
	Democracy Now's version.
	To $750.
	He was questioned Thursday by members of a House committee, including Utah Congressmember Jason Chaffetz.
	What do you say to that single pregnant woman who might have AIDS, no income...
	She needs Daraprim in order to survive.
	I'd say Obamacare would fix it.
	What do you say to her when she has to make that choice?
	What do you say to her?
	On the advice of counsel, I invoke my Fifth Amendment.
	Privilege against self-incrimination and respectfully decline to answer your question.
	After refusing to answer any questions, Martin Shrekly took to Twitter.
	Shrekly?
	Yeah, I know.
	Shrekly.
	Shrekly.
	Geez.
	Shrekly.
	No, although Shrekly is kind of cool.
	Shkreli.
	After refusing to answer any questions, Martin Shrekly took to Twitter, writing, quote, Hard to accept that these imbeciles represent the people in our government.
	Shkreli is out on $5 million bail on unrelated charges of cheating hedge fund investors.
	Okay.
	I'm glad because I have two clips that may ratchet up the humor quotient a little bit more.
	It started off, indeed, with Chaffetz talking to him.
	Then he handed it over to our other favorite guy, Gowdy.
	And Gowdy, and these people, they're all lawyers.
	Everyone in the room is a lawyer.
	And Skreli has his lawyer sitting behind him, yapping away in his ear, telling him over and over, do not answer any question.
	And it's obvious what Gowdy's trying to do.
	He's trying to get him to answer one question to then say, whoa, see, you can answer.
	Gaudi was just a setup guy, and let's listen to that.
	I intend to follow the advice of my counsel, not yours.
	That, by the way, is what pisses off any guy.
	I'm not going to follow you.
	Hey, you, Senator, shut up.
	I intend to follow the advice of my counsel, not yours.
	I just want to make sure you're getting the right advice.
	You do know that not every disclosure can be subject to the Fifth Amendment assertion.
	Only those that you reasonably believe could be used in a criminal prosecution or could lead to other evidence.
	I intend to use the advice of my counsel, not yours.
	If I understood you correctly, you couldn't wait to come educate the members of Congress on drug pricing, and this would be a great opportunity to do it.
	So do you understand you can waive your Fifth Amendment right?
	On the advice of counsel, I invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination and respectfully decline to answer your question.
	And I listened to his interview, and he didn't have to be prodded to talk during that interview.
	He doesn't have to be prodded to tweet a whole lot or to show us his life on that little webcam he's got.
	He's really pushing.
	So this is a great opportunity if you want to educate the members of Congress about drug pricing or what you call the fictitious case against you.
	Or we can even talk about the purchase of a Wu-Tang Clan.
	Is that the name of the album?
	Name of the group?
	On the advice of counsel, I invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination and respectfully decline to answer your question.
	Mr.
	Chairman, I am stunned that a conversation about an album he purchased could possibly subject him to incrimination.
	Okay, so this is the setup.
	And the way I see this, it's only one of two things.
	One, I think the guy is probably very, very, very smart, off the charts.
	This is what I think.
	I don't know him.
	And he's sitting there saying, this is such bullshit.
	This is such a setup.
	I'm not going to be played.
	Or, and I like that better...
	It was a setup.
	He was supposed to be shown as the guy, the horrible, horrible pharma guy, because there's no senator in his right mind or congressman who is going to put the pharmaceutical industry on the stand and say, you guys are gouging the American public.
	You were horrible.
	No.
	Instead, just like Madoff or any other small-time loser...
	They want to put a face up there that we can all hate so the big pharma goes away and is in the shadows and not accused of anything and was very very apparent when Cummings Did his little bit for this Skrulli guy.
	He said, oh, you could have had the opportunity.
	He is now the poster boy of the horrible pharma industry, which gives everybody a free pass.
	I want to ask you to...
	No, I want to plead with you to use any remaining influence you have over your former company to press them to lower the price of these drugs.
	Why doesn't he do that for Lipitor or any Merck product?
	No, we're going to take the little shithead.
	You can look away if you like, but I wish you could see the faces of people, no matter what Ms.
	Retz says, who cannot get the drugs that they need.
	And by the way, it's the taxpayers.
	Somebody's paying for these drugs.
	Well, I thought they couldn't get them.
	Are they paying?
	They can't pay them?
	Does Obamacare cover it?
	You're full of crap, Cummings.
	Somebody's paying.
	It's the taxpayers that end up paying for some of them.
	I thought they couldn't get it.
	And those are our constituents.
	People's lives are at stake because of the price increases you impose and the access problems that have been created.
	You are in a unique position.
	You really are, sir.
	Rightly or wrongly.
	You've been viewed as a so-called bad boy, a farmer.
	You have a spotlight, and you have a platform.
	You could use that attention to come clean, to right your wrongs, and to become one of the most effective patient advocates in the country, and one that can make a big difference in so many people's lives.
	I know you're smiling, but I'm very serious, sir.
	Patronizing.
	The way I see it, you can go down in history as the poster boy for greedy drug company executives.
	Which was probably the idea.
	Or you can change the system.
	Yeah, you.
	I truly believe.
	Are you listening?
	Yes.
	Thank you.
	I truly believe you could become a force of tremendous good.
	Of course, you can ignore this if you'd like.
	But all I ask is that you reflect on it.
	No, I don't ask, Mr.
	Zarelli.
	I beg that you reflect on it.
	I, you know, maybe Cummins was expected to obscure him, you know, to make it the guy.
	And this guy mugging.
	You saw the video, right?
	Yeah, of course, of course, of course.
	He's mugging.
	He's looking up.
	And he's got that snotty look on his face because he's a snotty...
	I mean, they cast him because he's snotty looking.
	And he's the kind of guy that nobody likes on sight.
	The whole thing is a scam.
	It's a complete scam.
	And I think he's got something to do...
	Even though he did get arrested for his hedge fund thing, I think it's something to do with they just said, look, you're going to play this game for us because you're the snottyest guy in the room.
	And we're going to let this hedge fund thing go.
	We're going to arrest you.
	But for you to get out of this, you're going to have to play the game for us.
	And here's what the game is.
	You have to just do what you're told.
	And I think this was the game.
	There was a screw up in there.
	I didn't notice until you played this clip, which was he said yes to Right.
	Instead of saying, on advice of my attorney, blah, blah, blah.
	And no one jumped in.
	No one jumped in.
	No one jumped in.
	Because like you said, it's deleted.
	Well, you answered that question, now you can answer this question.
	So he said yes to the question, are you listening?
	Instead of what he said to Gowdy, which everything he asked him was the same answer, which was, on advice of my attorney, I could not answer.
	Yeah.
	So this whole thing is a scam of epic proportions.
	It's a setup, and it's only to make everyone hate this guy for Pharma.
	Yeah, he's a straw man.
	Classic.
	He will go wiggy, though.
	He's a great guy.
	I would have picked him if I was cast him for this role.
	Oh, totally.
	We'd have him read for the director one time, he'd be hired.
	It'd be so easy, this guy.
	You walk in the room.
	You want to punch him.
	You want to punch him?
	I want to punch him.
	We all want to punch him.
	You're it.
	You're the guy.
	You do.
	Yeah, this is ridiculous.
	Everybody's all in on it.
	And it doesn't do anything.
	It does not do...
	No, it puts a face on evil Big Pharma and everyone focuses on him instead of the true devil.
	The real horrible a-holes.
	The real horrible people.
	Which brings us briefly to the Zika virus.
	Yeah, I got nothing.
	I think I'm done with that.
	Yeah, well, I got Sanjay Gupta, who is completely confused.
	He's being asked to talk about the Zika virus.
	First of all, I think he knows that this can't be true.
	And he's skirting around it.
	He's like, well, we don't really know.
	But he's, of course, he's Sanjay Gupta.
	So he has to come on CNN. He has to tell everybody how horrible.
	He has to know exactly what's going on.
	And I think he's very confused and doesn't know what the script is himself.
	Well, there's some new troubling information on the Zika virus.
	Reuters reports Brazil's government health institute found active Zika virus in saliva and urine samples.
	More on this from Sanjay Gupta.
	Worrying, isn't it?
	Well, we knew that this could be in bodily fluids other than blood.
	That's been shown because it's been sexually transmitted.
	So it's not entirely surprising that we're going to find this in other places as well.
	The big question, and we don't know the answer to this yet, is can it be spread this way?
	The simple presence of it in saliva doesn't necessarily mean that it's still activated enough to go and cause infection somewhere else.
	Now, this thing has been around since 1947 and we don't know any of this?
	Yeah.
	This is another straw man, as we pointed out.
	Everybody knows it causes this problem.
	In Brazil only, apparently.
	Yeah.
	And cause infection somewhere else.
	This is another ridiculous story.
	And they're really running this one up the flagpole.
	They're just running this story like crazy.
	I don't know how they're going to back out of it.
	Find out the answer to that.
	Back out with a fake vaccine or something.
	Well, there's already one company.
	Let me see if I have it here.
	It was a company that already had a vaccine I saw, which was kind of convenient.
	I'll look it up.
	Here we go.
	There's infection somewhere else.
	They're going to have to find out the answer to that.
	So, the question is, how infectious is it?
	Correct.
	And how soon will we know that?
	Well, this is, you know, some of this is happening in real time, Robin.
	And by the way, this needs to be confirmed in other labs.
	He's not read in.
	No.
	Because this is only two specimens.
	Two specimens, and it's the Brazilian Health Ministry, who've done a great job, by the way, but still, you want other labs to confirm this like you do with any science.
	But my guess is within the next few days, you'd have an answer, A, is this confirmed in other labs, and B, is it infectious enough?
	He's talking out of his butt.
	We need other labs, other proof.
	We don't know if it's infectious.
	He's just filling time.
	He gets paid his salary.
	Infection.
	And so then the question is, what precautions do you take, particularly if you're a pregnant woman?
	Gee, what precaution can we take?
	Stretch, stretch, stretch.
	What are they stretching the segment for?
	They thought you would have something.
	Difficult, isn't it?
	I think, again, I always try and lead with the good news part of it, which is that 80% of people, it's not going to matter still because it's not going to cause any illness whatsoever, just mild illness.
	But for pregnant women, yes.
	I mean, right now, the guidance of, for example, was that if the man has gone to one of these countries where Zika is spreading, you come back home.
	If your wife is pregnant, you must practice safe sex for the duration of the pregnancy now.
	But now if it's, you know, no kissing, no sneezing, you know, there's all sorts of ways.
	If it's potentially spread that way.
	I will tell you, it doesn't appear to be something that can be spread through the air, as in the case of sneezing.
	But perhaps if it's in the mucous membranes, if it's in the saliva, is that potentially a route?
	My guess is it's probably going to be a very limited route, but they're going to have to find the answer to that.
	So Gupta has his professional hat on, and kind of half, and he's like, oh shit, this is bullcrap.
	Yeah, it's the Ebola script.
	Now, before we take our break, I have a little piece of audio, which is from video from Channel 10 in Australia.
	And you'll recall that one of our producers, Sarah Harris, became a dame on the previous episode.
	And there was something about, she said something about the morning show.
	She also said that she didn't get damed.
	Did I forget to dame her?
	No.
	I don't think I forgot that.
	We made a big fuss about that.
	There were two women named Sarah, and they both got named.
	So she sends a note, I didn't get named.
	And I say, yeah, you did.
	And then I haven't heard back.
	Well, I wanted to play a little piece, because she had a new human resource, Paul, and that was part of what the celebration was.
	She's really super famous in Australia.
	Listen to that.
	They did a little package about her pregnancy.
	What?
	I'm having a baby!
	Yay!
	Wait till he starts kicking and now it's a football event.
	I've just got gas.
	You know, that's what I look like and that's okay.
	Right on.
	And I hope, I hope those photos of me make other pregnant women feel better about their bodies because I'm kind of fed up with the body shaming that happens when you're pregnant.
	And I'm proud of my body and what it's doing.
	And on behalf of all of the pregnant women out there who might be feeling a little bit chubby and a little bit flabby, on behalf of all of them, I want to say to the haters, get chubby.
	It's a big celebration.
	She's hot!
	Cute!
	Super cute!
	We have a lot of media people too in Australia.
	We have more famous people listening to our show from Australia than we do here.
	That's true.
	So congratulations, and it's nice.
	It must be so hard for her.
	She must be sitting there during that morning show going, oh, bullcrap, bullcrap, bullcrap, bullcrap.
	That must be really hard.
	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 fab.
	Yeah, on no agenda in the morning.
	We do have some people to thank for show 797, the next Boeing jet.
	Starting with Tom van de Wee, I think.
	Oh, it's Dutch, so it's Tom van de Wee.
	Van de Wee.
	Van de Wee.
	Yeah, it would be of the wheels.
	Tom of the wheels in Copenhagen.
	Tom of the wheels.
	It's not Dutch, it's Danish.
	Yeah, but it's, he might be Dutch.
	He might be Dutch.
	Well, the difference is there's some sort of ridicule I can come up with.
	I just can't think of it offhand.
	A Dutch is a Dane with a blah.
	A Dane is a Dutch with a blah.
	You know, it's jokes.
	The Danes are backup Dutch.
	First time donor, long time boner, but finally a donation from Copenhagen.
	We've had maybe only one before, actually.
	It's very low.
	We don't have a lot of Danish listeners.
	Birthday request.
	Shout out.
	Request your beautiful girlfriend.
	We have her on the list.
	Sir Andrew Holcomb.
	Protector of the Bound Book.
	You guys came to me in a dream of my choice of shower hands.
	Weird.
	Clearly it's time to donate, which he did.
	All right, let's start listing these people that came in at the lesser amounts in order, starting with Michael Reardon in San Diego, California for $100, also a birthday.
	Crocutta Computer Services, that's spelled C-R-O-C-U-T-A in Pacifica, California, $100.
	Mm-hmm.
	Sir Mark Tanner, who comes in twice a month, but he upped it for this show to $100 instead of his normal $50.
	Very nice.
	Thank you.
	Kim Wallace, Fairview Park, Ohio, $88.88.
	Oh, a ham thanker.
	When the apocalypse comes, we're the guys who are going to save the world, right?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Right?
	Right?
	We have a cute note from...
	From Derek and Amanda Pitts, and I couldn't tell who wrote this note.
	And it's also an 8888?
	Yeah, another 8888, but I don't see any call.
	When the apocalypse comes, we're the guys who are going to save the world, right?
	Sorry, I haven't donated in a while.
	Right?
	The house karma you gave me early last year worked, and a Bay Area mortgage can really drain a pocketbook.
	We dropped AT&T call service last month and replaced it with Project Fi.
	I'm not familiar with that.
	Me neither.
	I'll look into it.
	So the $80 a month we save, I will send to y'all.
	Thanks for the hard work.
	Can I have some baby-making karma?
	Yeah, we'll put that at the end.
	We'll put that, yeah.
	And send whoever this is, just Bay Area campuses who he or she signed.
	And he asks if I've ever heard of Foothill College.
	Of course I have.
	Um, I took broadcasting at Foothill College, as a matter of fact.
	Sir did all the good it did me.
	Sir Joe of Brandywine, $180, Wilmington, Delaware.
	We have another birthday there.
	John P. Hammond.
	Hamilton.
	Whoops.
	What?
	Hamilton.
	John P. Hamilton.
	Oh, I'm sorry, Hamilton.
	That's okay.
	Carlsbad, California, $69.51.
	Um...
	I have a note here for someone that is at what?
	6478.
	Okay.
	Sorry.
	Russell Rhodes, 6789 from Tallahassee, Florida.
	6789.
	Yes?

	Eric Kramer, yeah.
	Aaron, sorry, Aaron.
	Sewickley?
	Sewickley?
	Erin Kramer in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, 64, 78.
	She wrote a very funny note that I have to read.
	Please accept $50 value for value plus my exorbitant jury duty wages of $14.78.
	She sent me her jury duty stick-on patch.
	You know, I'm having a real problem here in Austin.
	So they called me for jury duty and, well, it's like, no, I can't do Thursdays.
	So I go in and say, well, for the rest of, this is before Christmas, for the rest of the month, you know, fill out when you can or can't go.
	And I mark off every Thursday I can't go.
	And then I get a note.
	Well, you have to be there by Thursday, like the 25th of February.
	Some craziness.
	Maybe the days you marked were the days you said you could go.
	No, I was very, very clear.
	I may just have to, you know, they're going to eventually arrest me if I don't go.
	And I want to go.
	I think serving on jury duty is very important.
	It's the opposite of...
	We may have to move the show to Wednesday or something for a week.
	We might have to.
	Yeah, that would not be...
	No, I told them.
	I do a very important show.
	I bet you don't have any fans on that.
	It's a podcast.
	We looked.
	It's a podcast.
	Come to jury duty.
	It's a podcast chump.
	Chump.
	Anyway, she goes on.
	I had my name removed and replaced with a number and barcode.
	I was then seated in my numbered chair and told to be quiet and shelter in place for several hours.
	My experience culminated in the voir dire or something.
	I don't know what that means.
	Where it was determined that I knew too much and I was told to shut up slave and remove from the pool.
	Oh, man.
	That's pretty chicken shit.
	May I encourage no agenda, on the back page, listeners to donate your jury wages, plus a bid extra, to a worthwhile cause.
	Perhaps one that sees you as a producer and not a barcode.
	Right.
	Thank you.
	Box 4, seat 10.
	She says she's also tickled by Adam's Dutch accent.
	And we know how Adam likes to tickle the ladies.
	Yes, I like to tickle you right where it counts.
	In the lady parts.
	It's great.
	Great, I tell you.
	John McMammon in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the Paris of Canada, 55-55.
	Christy Muckensturm, Denton, Texas, 55-55.

	Corey McDonald in Richfield, Minnesota.
	Lynette Cutler in Glendale Heights, and she's got a birthday.
	Nathaniel Crawford in Hopkinsville, Kentucky.
	Sir Christopher Barron of Brown County, Wisconsin, 50.
	And I have a note from him, and he's a baron.
	I guess I should look at it.
	Here's my monthly tithing.
	Previously, this was done through PayPal.
	Be damned!
	Thank you for the best podcast in the universe.
	Keep pushing.
	Nice.
	And he put an interesting thing.
	This is the reason I wanted to read this.
	On his check...
	You have so many lines you can put on your check.
	I put my driver's license number usually on the check itself, and I always point to it when people ask for it.
	Really?
	He's got on that extra line you get, you've got his name, address up in the left-hand corner, in the morning, he's got on the check.
	Oh, that's cool.
	So I think that's very cool.
	I never thought of that.
	That's very cool.
	People can do that.
	It's like, they don't know what to think.
	And that's it for our list of well-wishers and producers for show 797.
	Thank you all, and remember, dvorak.org slash NA, because you do have a show coming up on Thursday.
	And we have a make good for Desmond Lowe.
	This is from 7906.
	Forgive me, Podfathers.
	I've been made a douchebag since before my last birthday.
	I guess we didn't read this note.
	Which I'm celebrating with episode 7906.
	My first donation and the $204 commemorates my birthday and will serve as my annual reminder to never be a douchebag again.
	I cut the cord many years ago before no agenda.
	I wandered the interwebs aimlessly in search of the truth.
	I want to give JCD special thanks for being my shining star of surliness on Twit because it was your crustiness that made me look for you on other podcasts.
	Hello no agenda, hello truth.
	And I have an extra little thing here too.
	Nate Crawford and I went back and forth on email.
	Get the button ready for douchebag.
	He wanted to call out his wife as a douchebag for no particular reason, I thought.
	And I said, do you really want to do that?
	And he says, no, probably not.
	Well, maybe I should.
	So finally, I gave him the last ultimatum this morning.
	You want to call her out as a douchebag or not for her being kind of turdish?
	Over the last, I don't know how long.
	He says she's got a good enough sense of humor, she can probably handle this.
	So let her have it.
	Douchebag!
	Wow.
	And that ends that.
	Alright.
	It wasn't my advice against it.
	Hand lotion for you, my friend.
	Dvorak.org slash NA Do we need to do anything else?
	Oh, there's maybe one karma out there that we can dig about there?
	You've got karma.
	All right.
	Yes, remember, we'll have another show on Thursday.
	It's your birthday, birthday.
	I'm so much younger.

	Affiliates, we're running late.
	There you go.
	Perfect.
	Okay, what do we have?
	It is Sunday.
	Oh, we could do a little tech news if you want to.
	Yeah, well, the only thing I've got is a long segment, and it has to be moved to Thursday.
	Should I do a shorty then?
	We'll just do a little...
	A little shorty tech news?
	I don't know if I can do a shorty tech news.
	Let's not call it tech news.
	I'll just play this clip and then we can do a real full tech news on Thursday.
	I got a lot of stuff to talk about.
	On Saturday, hashtag RIP Twitter was the number one trending topic on Twitter.
	But it had nothing to do with the site's lagging user growth or stock price and everything to do with a new look that's said to be rolling out in the coming days.
	It's tweet stream switching from its current reverse chronological order to an algorithmic timeline that will push more popular content to the top of your feed, according to your report in BuzzFeed.
	In essence, making Jack Dorsey's baby look a lot less like Twitter and more like Facebook.
	That unleashed a Twitter tantrum, even a petition on Change.org demanding things stay status quo.
	Savvy users knowing the change may in fact reflect Dorsey's desire to address that lagging stock price with one pleading, don't give in to shareholders.
	Yeah, short Twitter.
	Can you even short this stock anymore?
	Can it go any lower?
	Yeah, no, it's...
	Yeah, no.
	It is a...
	It still qualifies.
	Yeah, I think it can go lower.
	It can go a lot lower.
	50 cents, which is probably what it's going to end up.
	This is the death knell for Twitter.
	No, it's stupid.
	It's just to get ads in.
	I already have this problem with Twitter.
	They started doing this, because I do it off the web, so I go to the web about twice a day.
	And you have standing to talk about Twitter.
	You were one of the first people on Twitter to use it.
	Yes, I was actually one of the top ten users for a while.
	And you're verified, so I can't even speak.
	And I'm verified.
	This is true.
	So, they added this feature, which always just bugs me.
	What You Missed.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, that's when you log in after a little while, yeah.
	Yeah, it shows you a bunch of old tweets.
	I can figure out what I missed by scrolling down.
	I don't want these things clogging up, because you look at it and it's like five hours ago, six hours ago, because you think something's happening.
	Well, no, this is old news.
	I don't want what I missed.
	I want to see what's currently going on, who's tweeting me now, not who's tweeted me like days ago.
	Right.
	And a lot of it's not even...
	It's just dumb.
	People know how to use Twitter and they just should be left alone.
	It's going to end it.
	One of these days, just shut it down.
	Oh, but all of this stuff is going to end.
	You watch.
	Well, it has to.
	Eventually, yeah.
	The foundation for their numbers is not...
	I mean, I think LinkedIn has some legs because they charge you money to have an account that's worth anything.
	Although LinkedIn is becoming very problematic.
	It's become kind of a hit-up-the-hot-marketing-girl website social network.
	Because now that they've turned kind of social...
	Yeah, I don't like any of that stuff.
	So-and-so wrote about this.
	I mean, they have a bunch of articles in there.
	Are they paying people top dollar to write articles on Twitter or on LinkedIn?
	Probably.
	I don't think so.
	I think these are like post articles you write for free.
	Yeah, but there's a lot of creeping going on now.
	Well, nobody wants to see what it is they do best and just do that.
	No.
	A little bit like Facebook.
	Let's make everything Facebook.
	What's Facebook doing?
	Let's do that.
	This is not helping.
	If you want to do what Facebook does, just join Facebook.
	I didn't join Facebook for a reason.
	I don't like it.
	I'm on there because it's my beat.
	No, you like it.
	No, I don't like it.
	No.
	No, it's really a cesspool.
	I do not like it.
	Everybody says the same thing.
	Mimi does it.
	Well, you like it.
	No, I don't.
	I just like to keep up with my friends.
	Oh, please.
	Mimi is a huge offender.
	She's always going like, what's that all about?
	That's crazy.
	Insane.
	Oh, come on.
	She deserves a little love and light.
	Dead.
	We had this one dog once.
	Yeah.
	This dog, we call him Kroeber, named after the father of modern anthropology.
	And he was some sort of like a yellow dog.
	It was like one of these just mixed breeds, had all kinds of, it looked like an Australian Ridgeback without the ridge.
	And he was the smartest dog that we've ever owned.
	He was so smart he could escape from anything.
	And he would teach other dogs how to escape too.
	Really?
	In fact, occasionally he would.
	One time we went to the backyard, there was this big fenced area where all the dogs were, and they're all sitting weirdly in different spots.
	They're just sitting upright in different spots where they were covering up holes.
	It was like watching Stalag 13 or something.
	These dogs were like planning an escape.
	And you were like Colonel Clink?
	Colonel Clink.
	And it was because this dog had taught them that.
	And he could escape from anything.
	One time, we put up a huge dog run.
	It was like the wall, I think it was eight feet high or something like that.
	And we set it up to see how it fitted together in the...
	On the driveway and put the dog in it.
	And then before we turned around, the dog was standing next to us.
	Somehow he got out.
	Just instantly.
	You couldn't see it.
	And we dropped him off at kennels.
	And the kennel guys would say, we can't take this dog anymore.
	He won't stay in the cage.
	Why don't you lock the cage?
	We have.
	He gets out.
	So one day, for some reason, one of the dogs died.
	One of the little bitty dogs died.
	And Mimi, it was one of her favorite dogs, and he...
	Buried him, and for some reason, this dog decided to dig him up, take the head off of the dog, and run around with the head in his mouth, thinking this was funny.
	This is fantastic.
	It's a great dog.
	I mean, it's a funny dog.
	We had to wrestle the head out of the dog, you know, give us the head of the dead dog back.
	Thinking it was a game.
	Wow.
	And this is just one of the many John C. Dvorak stories we hope to have a best of for one day.
	Not one of the best, but it's an interesting story.
	It's a good story.
	This dog was fascinating.
	You got good stories.
	All right, you got something to play us out with so we can go get ready?
	No, I actually ran through all my clips except for the bungalow clip, which I want to play on Thursday.
	Crappy, crappy.
	I don't think I have anything.
	I have one thing that is...
	This was a...
	I skipped one.
	Daily Beast has a Muslim reporter, a journalist that works for them, and she was very upset about the president's appearance at the mosque.
	And you don't often hear...
	Oh, that's interesting.
	American Muslims or Muslim Americans or whatever you want to call them.
	You don't often hear them, you know, stating, complaining about radical Islam or, you know, what we call it more, orthodox Islam.
	Well, that's kind of a contradiction in terms.
	And she was on MSNBC with, was it Lawrence, Larry Lawrence, Lawrence O'Donnell?
	Her name is Asra, I can't read it, Asra Nomani.
	Asra, I'd like to get your reaction to the president's speech today.
	Well, I didn't actually watch the president's speech as it was happening because I was standing outside on Johnny Cake Road by the police security barriers protesting President Obama's presence at that mosque.
	While his words are wonderful in theory, what he doesn't seem to understand is that Many of us as Muslim women try to go into these mosques as places where we believe we belong and we are told to go to back doors and to go through back stairwells into basements and into balconies and I'm not speaking only hypothetically because on Sunday I went to that Islamic Society of Baltimore I walked through the front door asked to go to the prayer hall I
	was led to the third floor where there's this darkened space It looks over the beautiful majestic space that you can see President Obama speaking in.
	All of those people who are there are allowed entry on this special interfaith day, and women are unfortunately barred in two out of three mosques in America with conditions that are separate and unequal.
	And on that Sunday, what I witnessed standing in front of the doors of the main prayer hall in which President Obama stood there today and spoke, I watched a woman tell the girls to go pray in the gymnasium in this darkened space below the basketball hoops.
	And the boys got to go pray into that beautiful space in which President Obama stood.
	And so I think while his words are wonderful in principle, what they don't reflect is the struggle that we are having within our own faith for the soul of Islam.
	And unfortunately, President Obama has taken sides with a very hyper-conservative interpretation of Islam that then targets liberals and mainstream and feminists within our own faith.
	And that's the real tragedy to me.
	Well, she had a point to make and she made it.
	Yeah, she actually went a little further with another 30 seconds just to wrap it up.
	I am an American because I feel very comfortable in this country.
	I feel very safe.
	But where I do not feel safe is going into my mosques.
	We are afraid when we go into our mosque.
	We are afraid of walking into the shadows of men who are going to scold us.
	And I'll tell you something, Jonathan.
	If there was a church that said that blacks had to pray in a balcony and there was a president that then went to that church and said that it was another issue that we need to discuss that was of greater importance, we would all be disgusted.
	That's the first time I've heard that on some mainstream outfit.
	Well, it's one thing that they don't...
	Yeah, I think that was good.
	That was very interesting.
	We did get a letter from Mohammed Hamad, who's one of our...
	He's a dude named Mohammed.
	Dude named Mohammed, right.
	Yeah.
	He says that he complained about that Obama comment that we both discussed.
	Oh, about...
	The Hadith thing about...
	To get into paradise, yes.
	He says that Obama was referring to a Hadith, but seems that he mixed the terms somehow.
	And it goes, none of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.
	Which is not what Obama said.
	No, that's not what he said at all.
	No, he says this hadith is classified as a shahi, which means it's a sound verifiable, meaning it's a real, you know, a lot of these hadiths are like, Seem to be dreamed up somewhere along the lines.
	Hadiths are the, it's not the Koran, the Hadiths are these, when Muhammad, after he became Muhammad, he's roaming around and apparently everything he said was noted by someone and it became a rule or a Hadith.
	It's like, oh, he said this, that must be important.
	And that's where all the, there's a bunch of crazy ones, you can look them up on the internet, crazy Hadiths.
	And you find all kinds of screwy ones.
	Kind of blows away the whole theory that he might be Muslim.
	There's a lot of mess-ups he made on that.
	Yes, I agree.
	It kind of blows the theory that it might be Muslim.
	Yeah.
	Well, I actually should ask him, Ed, whether or not he thinks he's Muslim.
	Or maybe just a lax Muslim.
	I mean, just because you're Muslim doesn't mean you're...
	This is the worst kind of Muslim.
	A lax Muslim.
	A lax Muslim.
	You don't care.
	You're just like, I'm a Muslim.
	So what?
	You pray five or six times.
	How many times a day?
	I'm not sure.
	I always forget.
	Five, six, or seven.
	No.
	See, no, I don't see the point.
	So, I mean, that can be.
	It's possible.
	Well, we truly have...
	The best producers in the business.
	And there's stuff I'm getting from Syria, which I'll talk about on Thursday.
	Sub 7-0, check back in again.
	Some info about what's really going on.
	Are boots on the ground?
	Let's see.
	Well, there's stuff coming.
	Stuff coming.
	And that is because we welcome it.
	We allow you to produce.
	You are the producers.
	And we also need your financial production help.
	Dvorak.org slash NA for our Thursday show.
	And go black guys.
	Go white guys.
	Go black guys.
	I tell you, black guys.
	Black guys.
	Are you having a Super Bowl party?
	No, you know, everybody that used to go to my Super Bowl parties have scattered.
	They're all over that.
	No one's local.
	They're all moved.
	They all left California.
	They can't take the heat.
	I gotcha, I gotcha.
	So I'm going to just have the kids over for dinner.
	Oh, nice.
	Hot dogs, end of the game.
	All right.
	Tina and I are going to watch the game here.
	Yeah, well, I'm going to probably speed-watch the first three quarters of it.
	Coming to you from the...
	Put it on the DVR and plow through it.
	Coming to you from the skyscraper here in downtown Austin-Tayhouse, the Crackpot Condo.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, we're at Super Bowl Sunday.
	And it's here.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back on Thursday right here on No Agenda.
	Don't have to talk about that!
	Cause I'm a hero, flexible, hero, flexible man.
	Somebody give me an appletini.
	Now here we have ham radio, guys.
	Ham radio is the public service network of last resort.
	When the apocalypse comes, we're the guys who are going to save the world, right?
	And so here's what Hillary Clinton needs to understand.
	I will...
	Hold on, guys.
	Come on.
	There's just...
	Now here we have ham radio, guys.
	Ham radio.
	The best podcast in the universe.
	Amen.
	Good bump.
