	This just in, apparently wreckage has been found.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	And it's Thursday, May 19th, 2016.
	It's time once again for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 826.
	This is No Agenda.
	Gliding through the slime known as political rhetoric and public relations and broadcasting live once again from the capital of the drone star state here in FEMA Region 6, Austin Tejas.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm doing my best to avoid toe fungus, I'm John C. DeVoy.
	Toe fungus?
	Yeah, it's all over the place, apparently.
	I've watched television.
	Oh, no, there's a fungus among us.
	Oh, no's.
	Really?
	Okay.
	Hey, let me start off, John.
	I'm very excited with some very exciting news.
	Of course, we have discussed on this program for eight years, Dvorak's Law of Economic Depression.
	And today, I am proud to announce that we can add a little bit to it, and I think that we should capture this right away to make it your own.
	Okay.
	I'm all in.
	Maybe review first.
	Dvorak's Law?
	I don't know what this law is.
	I have plenty of them.
	About the hookers?
	There's a 40 year cycle?
	Is that it?
	Because you said depression.
	No, about the hookers?
	Oh, yes.
	Right.
	It's your own law.
	What is going on?
	It's not like I talk about it all the time.
	It's kind of humiliating.
	No, not at all.
	Yes.
	Apparently, during an economic downturn, the hookers are better looking and cheaper.
	And let me slide in with this beauty, which comes to us from an actual study done.
	Who was this?
	This was done by...
	I have to find out which...
	Anyway, it's published on Medline, so it's a real study.
	Abstract.
	Although consumer spending typically declines in economic recessions, some observers have noted that recessions appear to increase women's spending on beauty products.
	The so-called lipstick effect.
	Using both historical spending data and rigorous experiments, the authors examine how and why economic recessions influence women's consumer behavior.
	Findings revealed that necessary cues, whether naturally occurring or experimentally primed, decreased desire for most products, e.g.
	electronics, household items.
	However, these cues consistently increased women's desire for products that increase attractiveness to mates.
	The first experimental demonstration of the lipstick effect.
	Additional studies show that this effect is driven by women's desire to attract mates with resources.
	With resources.
	Hey, I'm a podcaster full of resources over here.
	Depends on the perceived mate attraction function served by these products.
	In addition to showing how and why economic recessions influence women's desire for beauty products, this research provides novel insights into women's mating psychology, consumer behavior, and the relationship between the two.
	This is primal stuff.
	And it's helping Dvorak's Law directly, a direct correlation.
	Yeah, I think it's an addition, yeah.
	I think it would fit right in.
	We should publish it.
	I'm going to do a book on this.
	Yeah, finally.
	Finally.
	It's called the Depression.
	There's more vinegar or something.
	Make your own vinegar during the Depression.
	I buy it.
	So we got another flood alert here in Austin.
	Oh yeah, you guys apparently looks like you had some rain in Corpus Christi and I guess Houston again.
	Yeah, San Antonio, Houston.
	Houston's having problems.
	Let me ask you a question.
	You're a Texan now, I think.
	Yeah!
	That proves it.
	All I know is that Texans complain bitterly and long about lack of water during the summer.
	They have so much rain there, especially compared to here.
	I think it's like a couple of feet or something.
	So when I moved to Austin, which is now five years ago, Had a house out by Lake Travis, and that was getting, you know, the water level was getting lower and lower.
	You recall that I, maybe you recall, don't, had pictures of the lake, and you see all those, the docks, the, you know, the dock houses for your boat, boat houses.
	Yeah.
	All up on dry land, but, you know, not just a little bit, but, you know, 40, 50, 60 feet above, you know, above where the water should be.
	And this year, actually starting late last year, we have so much rain that Lake Travis is now so full for the first time in, I believe, 10 or 12 years, they had to drain it off into Lake Austin.
	Into Lake Austin.
	No, because otherwise it would overflow.
	We have a dam specifically for this.
	If it overflows, you don't want that either.
	It seems like you need more reservoirs.
	Possibly.
	But you are right.
	We have more water than we need right now.
	But we're still under level 2 restrictions or some bullcrap like that.
	So they can gouge you.
	With water prices, of course.
	Of course.
	But yeah, I think that is the downside to us shaking the rain stick for Scandinavia, which apparently worked.
	It works somewhere.
	It didn't work here.
	We have some nice hot weather every day.
	For the last three or four days, 80.
	Alright.
	That was interesting.
	Click.
	I just heard the sound of people hanging up on the show.
	Alright.
	Wake up everybody.
	Here we go.
	Alright, what have you been tracking?
	What have you been learning?
	Well, there's a bunch of things.
	There's some good stuff.
	I like the Nevada stories as they come out more and more.
	Oh, wait.
	We should probably say, no, I have no idea what happened to the Egypt Air flight.
	No idea.
	Yeah, there's no data.
	We'll get to that on Sunday.
	Hopefully we'll have the data on Sunday.
	So there's no data.
	There's nothing I can really say other than we really need to tell the spokesmodels on the news channel.
	And of course, CNN, they can't believe their luck.
	They pulled Richard Quest off of some prostitute and put him on in the middle of the night.
	But the thing that is disturbing is how everyone keeps saying, well, the plane swerved violently to the left and to the right.
	When you look at the flight radar, which is not radar, Or Flight Tracker 24, which is not radar.
	It's ADS-B. When you see an icon of a plane, yes, the plane is swiveling left and right, but I'm pretty sure that may have just been a piece of electronics that was swiveling left and right.
	If you're going almost 400 miles an hour at 37,000 feet and you're swerving, no, no, no.
	You're breaking up is what's happening.
	And now, oh, terror, the only angle, and it started last night, it was around 12.30 a.m., I actually went to bed with CNN sound on, so I figured I would get some information, or maybe I'd wake up, I'd learn something, I'd wake up this morning, they still don't know anything,
	they come back with, oh, well, it looks like terrorism is more likely, yeah, actually, from a percentage standpoint, Terrorism is more likely that that's the cause than some just catastrophic disintegration in flight at flight level.
	Well, since you brought up an airplane, let's play this.
	Well, I was going to...
	Okay, fine.
	Yes.
	Yeah, we'll get to this Egypt.
	The only thing they haven't said is, hey, what if they just turned off the transponder for a minute to do something else?
	I'm always baffled that no one ever thinks of that.
	We have missing aircraft in our time.
	It's just gone.
	No transponder info.
	All right, what you got for...
	TSA revolt continues.
	Let's get back on that story.
	Good evening, and we begin tonight with several developing stories.
	First, the anger mounting tonight against the TSA. Passengers across this country...
	Angry after missing their flights, sleeping on cots because of long lines.
	And late today, we learned of a closed-door meeting, this time the airlines on Capitol Hill fighting the TSA, too, saying it must be fixed.
	And it all comes after at least one senator said the TSA chief should be fired unless it's all fixed by Memorial Day weekend nine days from now.
	ABC's Alex Perez leading us off.
	Flyers are in open revolt.
	It's just confusion here.
	It's ridiculous.
	Are you f***ing kidding me, TSA? Very frustrating.
	Sharing that anger on the hashtag IHateTheWait.
	Check out the endless lines at O'Hare at 3.30 this morning.
	This is Newark at 4.30.
	Tucson at 5 in the morning.
	And tonight, Dyer predictions those lines will just get worse.
	This summer, expected to be the busiest ever.
	Expectations of 231 million passengers, up from 222 million last year.
	That's 95,000 more passengers every day, but with 5,000 fewer screeners than three years ago.
	We came back from New York Monday, flew out of Newark, And you wouldn't expect it, but there was a half-hour, you know, process getting to the gate, mainly because, you know, there's just one person at the ID check, and it was only a magnetometer, only one magnetometer, one belt.
	If you're going to shove people down into a hub for Southwest and for JetBlue, you're going to back up.
	That's the idea.
	Yeah.
	And I paid attention.
	I paid attention because I was like, okay, this is obviously because of the slowdown.
	And the first thing that was interesting is that they had a pre-check line and a regular line.
	And the regular line was just...
	It wasn't that the pre-check was longer.
	The regular line was just going faster.
	People are like, well, you know, they have the airport nincompoops who are, you know, custodians pretty much.
	But they'd say, hey, what line are you getting into?
	Because they have some badge.
	You know, they got like a little security services badge.
	And one guy was like, well, where's the pre-check line?
	The FAA says there has to be a pre-check line.
	Everyone's getting angry about the pre-check line.
	It's stupid.
	The whole thing is stupid.
	It's very stupid.
	But let me, here's a question that I have.
	Why?
	Because I haven't heard this.
	I've been watching this story develop and go on for the last, I don't know, five or six days maybe.
	But it's been continuing.
	And where is the reporter?
	And they have these different spokespeople saying, oh, it's for the safety.
	It's the safety.
	Where is the question being asked?
	How is this week different than two weeks ago?
	There's not more people flying this week than there were two weeks ago before this all began.
	What changed?
	The slowdown and just putting less personnel in, I guess.
	I'm just wondering why some reporter doesn't ask that question.
	Nobody on these network news stories talk about a slowdown.
	They just say, look at all these lines, they're a mile long.
	They don't say that there's a slowdown taking place.
	And that is why...
	They're reporting.
	There's no reporting.
	It's just that they shoot a picture of a long line and bitch about it.
	No, it's not even...
	It's B-roll.
	They just have that on the shelf.
	They don't need to shoot the B-roll anymore.
	And now they're threatening to fire some guy, and you know that's not going to happen because you can't just do that.
	The Department of Homeland Security is in disarray.
	Johnson, who is the secretary of DHS, is leaving.
	He's leaving in a month or two.
	He doesn't care.
	And we're left with this.
	And, you know, even if the lines were unavoidable, for whatever reason, and they keep talking about, we need more canine.
	What is that about?
	Every news report.
	We need more canine.
	Are you looking to start a new canine program?
	How does that actually help the lines?
	Why do you need more canines?
	They say it will speed up the line, and I say bullcrap.
	Bullcrap.
	How's it going to speed up the line?
	I don't know.
	I'm just regurgitating.
	I'm just bringing this up because I'm sick of the story.
	I'm actually sick of the way they're handling the story.
	That's what I'm sick of.
	Well, here's the only thing I would request.
	Of course it has to get worked out because someone screwed up and the budgets weren't there.
	Whatever the issue is, it's not the people at TSA who are checking you.
	However, these assholes should take a little course in being fucking nice to people.
	I got so mad just coming back from Newark.
	And you stand at the other side of the magnetometer and they hold their hand and go, you know, just like waving you with their hand.
	Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
	And my immediate response is to go slow.
	That's funny, I do the same thing.
	And it pisses me off!
	Actually, the way I do it is that you're standing there, and it's like, what is going on?
	And then the guy kind of, come on, come on, come on.
	And then, so what I do is I give him a quizzical look.
	Like, what should I do?
	Well, you can get away with it.
	What?
	I should just go full retard on him.
	I'm afraid!
	I'm afraid!
	I can't go!
	Oh no!
	What's going to happen?
	I'm afraid!
	Anything.
	Flying out of Amsterdam.
	Nice.
	Everyone's pleasant.
	They're making jokes with the passengers.
	They're not all so serious about it.
	Look, you can't even arrest me.
	Okay.
	It's a psychological problem that is very troublesome, the way these people are acting, and everybody knows that it's a pain in the ass, but just, hey, just be nice and stop yelling at me!
	All right, people, take your cell phones out of that, put them in the band, laptops in the band, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!
	These are guys and ladies and ladies and I just said that and women who were hall monitors in high school They had key chains with lots of keys on it.
	And they have key chains with lots of keys and they're exposed because they're on a belt buckle.
	But that's not entirely fair because these are people who are just happy to have a job.
	It is a jobs program after all.
	Well, if they're happy to have a job, they sure don't express that to me.
	Thank you.
	That's the point.
	Then there's certainly not all hall monitors.
	A lot of them are just lazy a-holes.
	Lazy.
	Lazy.
	Slow!
	I bet money on it.
	And yes, if you work for the government, you serve me.
	I'll work with your program.
	I can't raise my arms above my shoulders.
	First big laugh for the show.
	What's that?
	I'm sorry?
	If you work for the government, you serve me.
	I know.
	What am I thinking?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	What am I thinking?
	How silly of me.
	Sorry.
	Let's talk about the violence in Nevada.
	Oh, I have an actual clip of the violence in Nevada.
	Okay, well you play your clip and I'll play my little series because I figured it out.
	I thought I figured it out.
	And then somebody on Democracy Now!
	figures it out.
	Well, here I have 30 seconds.
	This is when Roberta Lang, I believe she's the chair of the Nevada Democratic Committee Convention, something else, and where she says, okay, the motion adopted, all yays, all nays, and you can barely hear anything.
	and then just listen to the response of the mainly Bernie supporters, I presume, in this clip.
	As the many bodies, the county chairs, all over the country say hi, all over the country go.
	The big detention convention, this convention is concluded.
	We have finished all of the weekend.
	We are in the...
	What the fuck was that?
	Listen to him.
	What the fuck was that?
	What the?
	What the fuck was that?
	What the fuck?
	What the fuck?
	Yeah, it's called democracy.
	It's called your democracy, people.
	That's how it works.
	Very, very, very, very good.
	So, violence broke out.
	The cops had to be called in.
	All kinds of things happened.
	People were throwing chairs.
	Which I dispute.
	I have not seen a single chair thrown in any...
	I saw a chair thrown.
	Oh, okay.
	I hadn't seen it.
	I hadn't seen it.
	Yeah.
	And it wasn't, you know, it wasn't like tossed way into the...
	It was just thrown.
	It was like a little...
	It wasn't even a Bobby Knight toss, but I saw a chair being tossed.
	And so we have a bunch of different things.
	A lot of this seems to be rigged and bullcrap.
	And I think the whole thing is hilarious.
	Now, when you say rigged, what do you mean?
	The actual convention?
	I'm just saying rigged now.
	I'm going to explain later.
	I don't want to give away the punchline.
	Go, go, go, go, go.
	Let's go with a couple of the clips.
	Here's the...
	Let's go with Sanders' violent turn best threat.
	This is the ABC report, which played this up quite nicely.
	These images of angry Bernie Sanders supporters fighting over delegates in Nevada tonight coming to represent a nasty feud shaking up the Democratic Party.
	It got so bad, the state party chair received death threats.
	You should be home in the middle of town, held dead.
	You're a disgrace to the American people.
	Sanders denouncing the violence, but after another hard-fought primary night, he's still vowing to stay in the race.
	We are in to the last ballot is passed.
	We have the possibility of going to Philadelphia with a majority of the pledge delegates.
	But the reality is, that's nearly impossible.
	To take the lead among pledge delegates, Sanders needs to win 67% of those still up for grabs.
	And that defiance from his supporters now has some Democratic Party leaders worried that it's their convention that could take a violent turn.
	Well, a couple of things.
	One, I've heard this, oh, he needs this much to even get anywhere.
	And this has been going on for months.
	So this is continuing as it, you know...
	It's all still based on these superdelegates, which are not up for grabs, but they should be.
	Let's play Sanders' Violent Turn 2.
	Okie dokie.
	It worries me a great deal.
	Is this Feinstein?
	We can just spot these people in there for you.
	It worries me a great deal.
	You know, I don't want to go back to the 68 convention because I worry about what it does to the electorate as a whole.
	And he should, too.
	He should, too.
	In the spotlight once again for those controversial speaking fees, new financial records show Clinton raking in nearly $1.5 million for six speeches last year.
	Her husband bill 22 speeches for over $5 million.
	I got an email about that from one of our producers who works at Goldman Sachs.
	Okay.
	If you would like to hear that, hold on.
	It was really, of course, my general thinking is, That there were no speeches.
	Which is a very nice thesis.
	I like it.
	Yeah.
	Hold on a second.
	Wait, did he hear a speech?
	Well, no, I'm looking for the email, but I'll paraphrase.
	So, he saw one speech, and he knows of no others at Goldman Sachs, and he knows of no any other colleagues in the industry who have ever seen any speech from Hillary Clinton, and he says it was really not a speech, it was a 15-minute Q&A in the lunchroom, pretty much.
	And so his conclusion is that, you know, maybe she just did phone calls.
	Because the thing is, you cannot just take a check.
	I mean, that would show up somewhere if you didn't...
	I mean, there's all kinds of records.
	But maybe it was, you know, just a small setting, but it was Q&A. And...
	So either there were no speeches, so there are no transcripts, or the speeches are so non-existent in these Q&A formats that people would go, wait a minute, you sat down for 15 minutes?
	Have you got $250,000?
	Yeah, it's just a bribe.
	Yes, but this is, you know, it just furthers the deconstruction of the thinking that she has nothing to show, and what she may have to show is so short and so minute, It would be embarrassing.
	Yeah.
	It is embarrassing.
	There's all kinds of stuff going on.
	She's going to have nothing but trouble.
	Let's go to...
	This is another ABC report on a different day.
	This is the Sanders on ABC. The reason I want this clip is because it's got Debbie Wasserman Schultz getting all nervous about all this.
	I reject...
	Any implication that our campaign supports violence.
	A defiant Sanders told CBS News today that his campaign did not encourage the chaos at Nevada's Democratic Convention over the weekend.
	For Democratic leaders in Nevada and elsewhere to suggest that our campaign has anything to do with creating violence is an outrage and unacceptable.
	State party officials have accused the Sanders camp of convincing an irrational minority that the proceedings had been rigged against them, which led to a day of unrest.
	His supporters later posted the state party chair's number online, and she got hundreds of threats.
	People like you should be hung.
	The crowd was out of control, red in the face.
	California Senator Barbara Boxer tried to speak, but got booed.
	She's one of several senators who have called their Vermont colleague to express concern.
	He was stunned that I felt that my safety was in peril, and I can only hope that as a leader, and he is a leader, that he's taken care of it.
	Not so nice how it's on the other foot, that shoe, huh, Barbara?
	Trying to pick up all those environmental guys early in your career?
	The incident has weakened the fragile detente between Sanders and party leaders, especially with some Sanders supporters already vowing to protest at the national convention in July.
	It's time to move forward.
	Party chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz tried to turn the page today.
	Was there anything about the rules in Nevada that was unfair, that was rigged against the Sanders campaign?
	Absolutely not.
	It was eminently fair and run according to the process that was approved back in 2014.
	She initially said Sanders was fanning the flames of discontent, but now tells us she believes he is taking the matter seriously.
	Anthony, party leaders are walking a tightrope here because they know they can't afford to alienate Sanders or his millions of supporters.
	When appropriate, I have a clip from a Sanders supporter who was there at the chair throwing event.
	Would you want to do that now?
	Now I'm headed toward the conclusion.
	Okay, yeah, I'll throw this in.
	This was a supporter, and I think she's one of the organizers kind of on the ground there, Angie Morelli, with our friend Rachel Maddow.
	I think that having a conversation about whether this being Bernie Sanders folks or Hillary Clinton folks versus each other is the wrong conversation.
	We're looking at seeing proof that this is the people versus the establishment.
	After we got up on the stage and we motioned to them very respectfully to accept These are petitions that we've spent a great amount of time collecting and done in accordance with the rules of the convention.
	We had many Hillary Clinton folks come up to us and be like, what's in those petitions?
	They told us not to sign them.
	The Hillary Clinton campaign told them not to sign them.
	What's in them?
	And we explained to them what was in these petitions.
	It had nothing to do with the actual quote or with the actual results of what would have happened on Saturday.
	It had everything to do with just simply the procedures and allowing people to have their voices heard on the floor of that convention on Saturday.
	And once they realized it was actually in these petitions, they were on board with us.
	There was multiple Hillary Clinton people that went up to the front of the stage that were like, why are you not accepting these people's petitions?
	And they were not getting any answers.
	So I think that that's more of a concern that the Democratic Party here locally and nationally should be looking at, is why are our voices not being heard?
	We went and we talked to the vice chair, Chris Wicker.
	And after the convention, I walked up to him and I was like, sir, can you explain to me what you would have found in this situation if you felt like your rights were being stolen and you were representing a grand amount of people and you felt like this is not a democratic process?
	He looked me square in the eyes in front of my lawyer and said this was not supposed to be a democratic process.
	There you go.
	Shut up, slave.
	Shut up, slave.
	Well, there was a long discussion about this on Democracy Now!
	with some dingbat that had a vocal fry issue and talking about the history of all this.
	And the Democrats apparently, it stems back to McGovern and then Jimmy Carter.
	Who were elected in a fair manner by what the party wanted.
	I actually clipped that vocal fry woman because it's just so phenomenal.
	Yes, she's close to the woman from the New York Times.
	And anyway, they went on with this, and it was a very interesting explanation.
	It was like, it's not supposed to be democratic because we've given up on you people.
	You're idiots.
	So we're going to do it ourselves is really what the message is.
	But let me get to the point that I'm trying to make.
	Let's first start off with some unreported news that was on democracy.
	Now, this is a very short clip.
	This is Sanders, Nevada, unreported.
	Right.
	Bernie Sanders' victory in Oregon comes amid tensions with the Democratic Party after Sanders supporters erupted into protest Saturday at the Nevada Convention.
	They say rules were abruptly changed and 64 Sanders supporters were wrongly denied delegate status.
	Clinton ultimately won 20 pledged delegates to Sanders 15.
	The state party chair, Roberta Lang, said she received death threats while state party headquarters were vandalized.
	Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid urged Sanders to condemn the behavior of some of his supporters, saying he faced a test of leadership.
	In a statement, Senator Sanders rejected violence and noted during the Nevada campaign, shots were fired into his campaign office in the state and his staff's housing complex was broken into and ransacked.
	He also accused Nevada Democratic leadership of, quote, using its power to prevent a fair and transparent process at the convention Saturday.
	Now, the shots fired is a good one.
	That's the one that kind of leads me to believe that this guy's analysis coming up, this clip is Democracy Now on the Nevada Convention and Roger Stone, and this is what I've believed since this whole thing began, which is that as a payback, this is Trump behind the whole thing.
	What happened in Nevada?
	Can you, Jessica Stites, talk about what we just saw?
	I mean, there's a police line in front of the stage.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah.
	I think about...
	And Rick, would you like to weigh in on that?
	Yeah.
	Well, I mean, you know, we saw the footage.
	It was a very contested convention.
	The Clinton folks say the Sanders folks knew the rules in advance and then complained when the rules didn't advantage them.
	The Sanders folks say that basically we have an establishment that's trying to...
	Assert their powers.
	I think when I look back historically, I see the attempts to exacerbate these divisions as possibly a strategy of Donald Trump and the Republicans.
	He has an ally named Roger Stone, who was part of Watergate.
	The whole strategy of Watergate, all through 1972, was to create divisions that were based in real divisions, but to exacerbate them.
	So like a Roger Stone type figure would steal letterhead from one of the Democratic candidates, write a letter accusing another Democratic candidate of cheating, and then get that out to the media, right?
	So the idea is if Democrats can't get that...
	That is an incredibly simple hack.
	I'd never even thought of that.
	Just use someone else's letterhead or spoof an email.
	Good idea.
	Yep, I like that.
	So the idea is, if Democrats can't get back together in the general election, then the Democrats can't win.
	Now, these divisions are real, and the anger is real, but the exploitation of it is very similar to kind of what the FBI did in COINTELPRO. They take real divisions and try and turn them into divisions that make it possible for people to work together.
	So we need to be careful about that.
	Roger Stone is the source on so many of the National Enquirer stories against Ted Cruz.
	Yeah, Donald Trump partakes of a reactionary tradition within gossip politics, something like the National Enquirer.
	I actually have a document in which Michael Deaver, Ronald Reagan's longtime aide, tries to pitch Ronald Reagan as a columnist for the National Enquirer in 1975.
	Okay.
	Now, it seems to me that this is a well-deserved payback for Bernie.
	That's where the gunshots seem to be coming from.
	I had not heard that at all about gunshots.
	Yeah, they kept that quiet.
	So there's a couple of gunshots fired into the headquarters.
	You want to send a bunch of thugs over to our rallies?
	Take a couple of shots into your office, what do you think?
	Right.
	Because this is like we're now dealing with some high-end mob activity.
	And I can just see this whole thing being orchestrated by some dirty tricksters.
	And this is going to be...
	I think that's a very, very, very, very...
	I'm all in on that.
	Yeah, dirty tricksters.
	This is going to be one of the worst since, I guess, the early days of the first Nixon administration, where you had these very famous, famous dirty tricksters, Dick Tuck.
	People should look him up.
	Who used to just be a plague.
	Dick Tuck?
	Yeah, Dick Tuck used to dress in costumes.
	Every time Nixon would show up, there'd be some costume.
	Dick Tuck is a very interesting character, and it resulted in Nixon having to hire a couple of these same kinds of goons to be his dirty trick guys.
	One of them, Segretti, Donald Segretti is a name that comes to mind who is another one of these characters.
	And Roger Stone, I guess, is another one.
	And...
	You know, this will be fun.
	This will be fun to watch.
	But our listeners will catch most of it, I think, because we will have deconstructed a lot of it.
	And so you say, oh, that makes sense.
	The general public will have no clue.
	And this is going to be hilarious to watch how they react to all this.
	Our producers unanimously caught something on CNN during the voting in the primary regarding...
	My favorite topic, the voting machines, which I'm against, as you know, very against.
	The voting machines are a plague.
	Yeah, they were a plague and they were a problem.
	A competitive race, a lead at the moment for Senator Sanders.
	We've had a seesaw in the last 30 minutes or so.
	Senator Sanders up 46.9 to 46 percent, so essentially a one-point lead for Senator Sanders.
	One of the things we're waiting for is I've been talking all night long about Fayette County, the Lexington area, where you do have a significant African-American base.
	This is key to Secretary Clinton's hope in the states.
	As you see, she's had this consistent ten-point lead It's consistent because we've been stuck at 8% for quite a long time now.
	We are told there was a machine counting problem in Fayette County that they expect to have resolved, and we're expecting to get a rather large jump in the percentage of the returns from Fayette County pretty soon, and that will be very telling about the race going forward, because as you come back out statewide and take a look again, Senator Sanders with a narrow lead, but there are more than enough votes in Fayette County and also here in Jefferson County.
	So there's Sanders in the lead moments later.
	The glitch is fixed.
	As we go through the final 18% of the vote, as you noted, 47% to 46%.
	You see the.2s there if you want to add those in.
	One thing we were waiting for, we talked about earlier, was Fayette County, which the last time we showed was at 8%.
	Well, now it's at 100%.
	They had a machine counting problem.
	Then all of the vote came in at once.
	And in a snap, you see the lead here.
	Secretary Clinton, when it was at 8%, had a 10-point lead.
	That went down a bit.
	Then all of a sudden, snap!
	Snap!
	Then she was winning.
	Fantastic.
	Yeah, there's a number of states where this has been a problem.
	Fantastic.
	She's obviously buying votes.
	It's something.
	Something.
	Yeah, well, nobody wants Bernie in there.
	He's like an outside screwball.
	You don't need this guy.
	Same way nobody wanted Trump.
	Trump managed to push his way through what should have not happened.
	I mean, we shouldn't be looking at Trump.
	But they couldn't do anything about it because of one reason or another, now everyone's bailing out on their, I'd never support the guy, Edelson Shelley.
	He said, I wouldn't vote for this guy, you know, and then next thing you know, he's going to give him $100 million.
	Yeah.
	Which is the latest.
	And then, of course, the Koch brothers are not in on this guy, which you'd think that the Democrats would be kind of, you know, my favorite thing, the Koch brothers say, we're going to vote for Hillary.
	Hell of you guys.
	Right.
	And you'd think because the whole theory is whatever the Koch brothers want, they control the world with their money.
	They would say, oh, great.
	Give Hillary the money.
	Yeah.
	But no, no.
	So this is all crap.
	There certainly was a lot of talk still about Donald Trump.
	Of course, the long-awaited interview with Megyn Kelly.
	Which was a total dud of an interview.
	Who cares?
	They were nice and cordial.
	Kelly, I think I counted five different outfits for the different interviews she did.
	She used the red outfit for Donald.
	The red one.
	And then she had four or five inch spike heels on.
	Yeah, so it's fine.
	With her foot all twisted up to look like a sexy foot, even though it looks pretty big to me.
	Book of knowledge.
	What is Megyn Kelly's shoe size?
	Sorry, I don't know the answer.
	Well, go find out.
	Twelve.
	Well, this was grooming her because the Shapiro interview is the only one that was interesting.
	But this was grooming her for something, and I don't know what it is.
	Oh, I know what it is.
	It wasn't grooming.
	This is PR. Well, in addition to the Kelly file, I have been working on a project, a book which I'm unveiling right now.
	It's called Settle for More, my life motto.
	I saw this, I saw this, and I didn't put it two and two together, sorry.
	Yeah, I think that's the main thing.
	Ben, she's going big with this.
	Ever since I was an unhappy lawyer years ago, the book shows how I did just that.
	With some tears and laughs along the way.
	And yes, for the first time, I will speak openly about my year with Donald Trump.
	You can pre-order it now wherever books are sold.
	Was she dating him or what?
	That's what she indicates, doesn't she?
	Yeah, my year with Donald Trump.
	Yeah, her year with Donald Trump consists of what?
	Interviewing him once and then giving him crap on the...
	Well, you know what?
	If I had to choose between my year with Donald Trump or Vinegar, the book...
	I don't know.
	I'm just saying.
	Well, I guess I should do a book called My Year with Donald Trump.
	How about My Year with Vinegar?
	Nothing wrong with that.
	More than a year, that's the problem.
	Let's go.
	I want to get one, since you brought up Trump, let me bring up this thing.
	This was the CBS Nora O'Donnell interviewing.
	This is kind of a Trump rundown, and I think in here she interviews Ivanka.
	Ivanka.
	And Ivanka, when you watch her, she looks cool as a cucumber.
	She's just beautiful, too.
	She looks cool as a cucumber.
	If you just listen, as you will on this clip, she sounds like a nervous wreck.
	Today, Donald Trump said he is worth more than $10 billion.
	That was the bottom line in his financial disclosure statement filed with the Federal Election Commission.
	The statement shows that Trump's net worth increased in the past year.
	His income topped $557 million, not including dividends, interest, capital gains, rents and royalties.
	Also today, Trump told Reuters that he would be willing to talk directly to North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un about the nuclear program in that country.
	That would be a major shift in US policy.
	Our Nora O'Donnell talked to Trump's daughter, Ivanka, today.
	I'm going to ask you about the New York Times.
	They ran a front-page article this Sunday about your father and the treatment of women.
	Did you read it?
	I did, and I found it to be pretty disturbing, based on the facts as I know them, both in the capacity as a daughter and in the capacity as...
	I heard it right there.
	I heard the quivering.
	Yeah, she's quivering bad.
	She's quivering.
	And I'm telling you, when you watch this, you would never...
	I saw it.
	I saw it.
	I did not notice it.
	I was too busy just looking at it like, oh my God, how does someone create this creature?
	She's a nervous wreck.
	She had a baby, what, like four weeks ago?
	Yeah.
	This girl is dynamite.
	She's got her, you know, no cankles, no nothing.
	It's unbelievable.
	Adam at Curry.com, please.
	But yeah, I could barely pay attention.
	It was just like, oh my god, she's so stunning.
	She covered it up with her beauty.
	It was astonishing because I listened to the clip when I was producing it and I said, holy crap, she's a nervous wreck.
	And O'Donnell was an asshole.
	I have never seen her.
	She was hounding her.
	I wonder if she would hound Chelsea that way.
	And I have a picture.
	I have one screen capture.
	And she's got her nose in the air and she's giving her a dirty look.
	And even at the beginning of the thing where she says, did you read it?
	She had a very snotty sound to her voice.
	She is a bigot.
	She hates the Trumps.
	And she hates this woman.
	Yeah.
	Which I think was reflected in her nervousness.
	Both in the capacity as a daughter and in the capacity as an executive who's worked alongside of him at this company for over a decade.
	So I was bothered by it.
	Most of the time when stories are inaccurate, they're not discredited and I will be frustrated by that.
	But in this case, I think they went so far.
	They had such a strong thesis and created facts to reinforce it, and there's backlash in that regard.
	But the New York Times stands by its story.
	Yeah, I agree.
	Well, she's very good at that.
	She's very good at covering it up.
	That's very good.
	But she was definitely nervous, I agree.
	Regarding the...
	Donald Trump, Kim Jong-un, which of course is exactly what we should be doing.
	And by the way, I think there's something ironic about your uncle, Don, who apparently is all in for Hillary for some reason.
	Well, no, no, no.
	They're not all in.
	They're going to hold their nose and vote for Hillary.
	Okay.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's what they're all going to do.
	They're going to hold their nose and vote for Hillary.
	Yes, yes.
	This would be the opportunity for him to be the go-to guy.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	Wow.
	So here, I've got a couple of clips regarding this.
	Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has caused a stir once again.
	This time, he's declared he's willing to talk to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to discuss Pyongyang's nuclear program.
	The proposed meeting would mark a significant change of U.S. policy towards the politically isolated regime.
	I would speak to him.
	I would have no problem speaking to him.
	All right, so of course we have an ISO. I've got to stop for a second.
	This woman, and I heard this before, she said Kim Jong-un.
	Oh.
	And it's always been Kim Jong-un.
	Right.
	What is this?
	This is the second time I've heard somebody say that.
	I thought it was an accident.
	No, this is a European report.
	Because the J in many European languages is pronounced as a Y. Or is utilized as a Y. I was thinking it was on CBS too, but okay.
	So Jugend.
	Hitler Jugend.
	Not Jugend.
	Jugend.
	Well, nobody says Jugend.
	No, that's my point.
	But that's why they're making that mistake.
	It's for the same reason that people don't say Madonna.
	They say Madonna.
	Madonna.
	Steve Jobs.
	Steve Jobs.
	My favorite.
	Dynasty.
	Yeah, all my favorites.
	All right, here's the Laiso.
	Well, I think it's a serious problem because he's probably on the wacky side.
	He certainly could be a total nutjob.
	Okay, so we have Trump.
	That's what you do.
	You go out, you get the old clip of him saying he's a total nutjob.
	And here is the Red Book predicted Korean news report.
	E-ho-gi-we-sung bal-sa-sung-gong!
	It could be a total nut job.
	Okay, put it in the red book.
	Yeah, you nailed it.
	Now, I have a couple other things of note.
	Let me see.
	I have...
	Oh, yeah.
	I wanted to follow up on this because we were talking about...
	And you also spent some time in the newsletter about how things are taken out of context.
	And a statement is made at the beginning.
	For instance, I'll give you an example.
	Donald Trump says, oh, now all of his Muslim ban was just a suggestion.
	Then, of course, that's disproven, or it isn't, and then that is barely reported on, and then the original suggestion, the original psychological suggestion that he is now, that is all just a suggestion, is what sticks in everybody's mind.
	Right?
	Right?
	Yeah.
	Okay, you've got to say race.
	Yep, yep.
	So I thought, for a moment, let's just...
	Memes.
	These are memes.
	These memes are just out there.
	They're out of control.
	And it's very, very easy to do.
	So here's the full Donald Trump quote, because, of course, the headline is, Donald Trump now says, oh, no, that was just a suggestion.
	No, the Muslim ban was a suggestion.
	This is used everywhere.
	This is used as a punchline.
	I hear it from Obama bots on the street.
	Just a suggestion.
	Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Okay, so here's in context.
	It's a serious problem.
	It's a temporary ban.
	It hasn't been called for yet.
	Nobody's done it.
	This is just a suggestion until we find out what's going on.
	But we have radical Islamic terrorism all over the world.
	I mean, you could start at the World Trade Center, frankly.
	You can go to Paris.
	You can go to San Bernardino.
	All over the world.
	I think it's a little different when you hear it in context.
	He's not saying, oh, that was just a suggestion.
	He says no one's doing it yet.
	Suggestions is what we should do.
	I find that to be quite different.
	Yeah, I think you're right, but the nuances are not to be dealt with.
	Let me see if I can launch one.
	I've got a clip of my own.
	We should be using language as a weapon to divide Americans.
	Perfect!
	Hillary says we should use language as a weapon to divide Americans.
	Play that one again.
	We should be using language as a weapon to divide Americans.
	Isn't that beautiful?
	That's a killer.
	Would you like to hear it in context?
	No, I'm fine with that.
	Acknowledge that we have very serious differences, but this is not a place, nor is this a subject, where we should be using language as a weapon to divide Americans.
	See how easy it is?
	Yeah.
	Anyway, you can pull that clip out of the show notes, 826.noagendanotes.com.
	Let's see if we can launch something of our own.
	Let me see.
	Then I have...
	Ah, yes.
	We need to get down to the Clinton Foundation.
	I do have a couple clips here about...
	I have only one.
	I've got one from Judge Napolitano.
	Oh, good.
	We'll end with that because I have one before that I want to end with the judge.
	First, here's Mika from Brzezinski, the elite daughter.
	Don't you want to get ahead of it before somebody gets their hands on these transcripts?
	No, I really don't.
	No, I really don't.
	You know why she's saying that, because nobody can get their hands on anything because they don't really exist.
	Andrea Mitchell now with criticism over the Wall Street speeches.
	So in the first couple of months of 2015, she knew she was going to run.
	She announced in April.
	Between January and April, she made a million and a half dollars in speeches, including speeches of 200,000 plus, 315,000 plus, Only weeks before she was announcing.
	I still wonder about the judgment of that.
	Bill Clinton, while she was running, still was making speeches.
	Four million plus in their financial disclosure.
	Here's some perplexing thing.
	The two toughest issues she's had to deal with in these primaries, which would be the speeches she gave on Wall Street.
	And her use of an exclusive email server for Secretary of State, both are decisions she made herself.
	These are completely self-inflicted wounds.
	And it makes you wonder, you know, she knew she was either going to run for president or that she might run for president, even at the point she became secretary of state.
	So why did she take these actions that are guaranteed to reinforce some of the questions about her behavior, you know, her judgment?
	I don't understand it.
	No.
	Well, you're laying it out for us.
	Obvious bribes.
	And she just took the risk of doing it late in the game.
	Yeah.
	Worst case scenario, she doesn't get the job as president and she still has the money.
	She still got the money.
	Exactly.
	Here is the president at Princeton where he was doing the commencement speech and he took a little time to.
	But now I saw headlines.
	It slammed him, slammed him.
	President slammed him.
	It was OK.
	The world is more interconnected than ever before.
	And it's becoming more connected every day.
	Building walls won't change that.
	Isolating or disparaging Muslims in politics and in life.
	Ignorance is not a virtue.
	It's not cool to not know what you're talking about.
	By the way, I think this was at Rutgers.
	Oh, I'm sorry, you're right.
	It is Rutgers.
	And, you know, as a president, when you're there, compare that to Steve Jobs' commencement speech at Stanford, where he was inspirational and it was about the future and what the ladies and gentlemen could do.
	His advice was, you know, don't follow your heart, don't mess around.
	And what does the president do?
	He talks about him and about his elections and his party and how stupid Donald Trump is.
	Great message.
	Really, really inspiring.
	That's perfect for commencement.
	It's not cool to not know what you're talking about.
	Yeah, because the students ate it up.
	That's not keeping it real or telling it like it is.
	That's not challenging political correctness.
	All right.
	So now I have a rather long clip, which is a whistleblower.
	Yes.
	This just came out recently.
	He's got lots of ink.
	Yes, Charles Ortel.
	He's got lots of air.
	Yeah.
	Now, should we play your Napolitano clip first or after?
	Well, the Napolitano clip is not as good a clip as I'd hoped to get because he was rambling just like this guy you're going to play.
	He was rambling, yeah.
	That's why you said such a long clip.
	It's a pretty good summary.
	I think we can play it last.
	Okay, what?
	Napolitano?
	Yeah, because it doesn't go into all of it, but it goes into just enough that makes it, because he concludes well.
	He's a good concluder.
	So this is Charles Ortel, Clinton Foundation fraud whistleblower.
	Did he write a book?
	I presume he did.
	Not yet.
	You know, I've been trying to figure out...
	This guy got...
	Who is this guy?
	He's a Wall Street analyst, from what I can tell.
	But I'm not absolutely sure.
	I think he has done the work, and I think this is just a beginning of the end for the Clinton Foundation, because we've been tracking it since Haiti.
	With the bull crap, you know, just collecting money.
	And there's a bunch of interesting tidbits about, you know, what you're supposed to do when you collect money for disasters, which apparently they didn't follow any of the right rules.
	Yeah, there's a lot of that in there.
	Okay, well, listen to him.
	This was on Fox Business News, which is a smaller venue for, I think, a story as big as this.
	After looking into the Clinton Global Initiative records on more than one year, Charles Ortel, a financial whistleblower and analyst, found major discrepancies that he says could be fraud.
	He joins me now.
	I just want to explain to our audience, you know, you are somebody who looks into these very detailed financial records.
	It is a ton of work.
	It took you 15 months to do this.
	You are somebody that correctly identified the problems at both GE and AIG. So this is not a political thing.
	This, you know, numbers and this finance is hard work.
	It's your business.
	Now, looking inside this, I've started to go through your reports.
	You have 40 reports that you're going to be releasing.
	One thing that jumped out at me, I mean, there are so many details, but one of the biggest is this idea that Bill Clinton paid himself and collected payments from something called Laureate for $16.5 million.
	This is related to the foundation.
	Explain that relationship to us.
	Sure.
	In a foundation, unlike typical business activities, you're not actually allowed to mix not-for-profit work with for-profit work.
	You're strictly not allowed to do it.
	And Bill Clinton has actually, from the very beginning, been taking payments from donors for speeches.
	Hillary's been taking payments for speeches for business activities that have not been disclosed in the financial filing for the foundation the way they need to be.
	Last week, the Wall Street Journal had a big piece about a $2 million investment.
	That was a private deal arranged through the Global Initiative.
	This is a far bigger thing.
	This is a multi-billion dollar deal that was in trouble, that agreed to prop itself up by hiring Bill Clinton as chancellor of this for-profit university system globally.
	Sounds like Trump University is way bigger.
	Is this illegal?
	Is it fraud?
	I mean, this idea of commingling, because that's one of the major themes here, is the idea that they mixed for-profit business with their non-profit company and then also government influence.
	What would you call that?
	I mean, is it fraud?
	Is it illegal?
	Can you go to jail?
	What is that?
	Well, yeah.
	I mean, there's various aspects to this set of illegal activities.
	There are operating and solicitation frauds, and those are the easiest things to understand.
	When you have a charity and you're soliciting in states, in foreign countries, you absolutely have to file truthful disclosures, and you can't slough it off on accountants and the executives.
	The trustees are responsible for doing that.
	And the IRS and the tax authorities don't trust you.
	They require you to get audits.
	The Clinton Foundation, no part of it, has ever gotten the compliant audit since inception, October 23, 1990.
	That's something that's required everywhere.
	I mean, now everyone gets financial audits.
	They're not doing that.
	Actually, I don't think that's a law.
	I don't think that is something that is done, but I'm not so sure it's an actual requirement that you have the statements audited.
	For your regular 990s, but whatever.
	I heard this guy in a different interview.
	Apparently, if you are...
	A lot of states require some sort of proof that you can be...
	Because people are donating and taking off their taxes.
	That's what is a problem here.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Minute left.
	I'm not doing that.
	You say that there were disclosures on one side about how much people had given and disclosure from the foundation about what they had been given didn't match.
	What do you make of that?
	Well, this is big stuff and it gets to the heart of the controversy, the lowest learner controversy.
	The IRS has all this information.
	They have extensive files.
	So when you have a foundation and you make donations, you have to list out in your filings who got the money.
	Similarly, you have to list out on these filings for the IRS only, not for the public, who gave you big donations.
	I did this myself.
	I'm one person.
	It's taken me 15 months.
	But I took the big donors, the big governments, the big foundations, and I looked through their filings and compared them, what they said they gave to the Clinton Foundation, with what the Clinton Foundation says it receives in press releases and in other disclosures.
	And there are massive discrepancies.
	The final thing, you say that they only give, and this is something I always get stuck on, they only use 10% of their budget towards charitable good works, what they're actually supposed to do.
	I mean, the rest of it, amazingly, 33% to salaries and benefits, 47% to all of their expenses, which raises the question, is this even a charity?
	I mean, isn't that the essential question?
	No.
	It's an absolutely essential question because you can't just say we couldn't just form a charity and go off to Europe.
	I mean, you have to have a specific tax-exempt charitable purpose, and there is no evidence that the Clinton Foundation was ever approved to be anything other than a library and research facility in Little Rock.
	I didn't know that either.
	Yeah, I knew that.
	This, I think, is a harbinger of things to come, John, and I use that word specifically.
	Just so you know, the word harbinger, which we discovered on the previous episode, I'm hearing everywhere.
	Well, it's a harbinger for sure.
	They're going to see if it has legs.
	This is being rolled out in a very, very polite way, and I'm not sure how far it's going to go.
	But here's Napolitano.
	We don't know how much people took in, the foundation brought in, and we don't know where it all went.
	That's what he's saying.
	He's also going to show a lack of authorization by the federal government and by state governments to solicit funds In the amount and in the manner that the Clinton Foundation did.
	He has also provided the FBI with much of this information, which has intrigued the FBI to the point where it has begun an investigation of the relationship of the Clinton Foundation President Clinton's speaking fees and Secretary of State Clinton's decisions while she was the Secretary of State made, according to Mr.
	Ortel's records, and the records are from public documents, to benefit people and foreign entities that had contributed to the foundation.
	You follow all of this?
	I do.
	I mean, this is a public corruption investigation of primarily Mrs.
	Clinton, secondarily the former president and their foundation.
	Maybe next time remove the sock from the microphone.
	That was taken off the internet.
	I could not get it any better.
	I know.
	Well, what someone needs to do is just look at the donations, then look at the State Department or other policy decisions that were made.
	Of course, the news media should have been doing this all along.
	Oh, please.
	But they're all in for wanting her to be president.
	This is unbelievable to me.
	It is.
	And then they run a front-page article on Trump that doesn't like women or some bullcrap.
	I have a clip of the two reporters who wrote that from the New York Times.
	Do you have a clip of the one woman who they cited mostly, and she comes out and says, this is bullcrap?
	This is not the way it was supposed to be interpreted.
	No, I don't have that.
	I thought she was all over the news, so I figured people had seen that.
	We didn't need to necessarily do that.
	But yeah, one woman was like, yeah, the one that this particular clip is about, she said, this is totally untrue.
	This is not at all my experience with Donald Trump.
	And on CNN, they brought these to account.
	Can I stop you for a second and mention, just so we can remind our producers...
	That the Democrat Party has really banking on women to vote Democratic.
	They do it with the gun control issues.
	They do it with other kinds of scare tactics.
	Abortion.
	White men.
	White Republican men.
	Old white men.
	Straight men.
	Cisgendered men.
	Men.
	Oh, they've had so many people on that show.
	I guess I could be the new Aston Kutcher, and you could be...
	I think the show's off the air.
	Here we go.
	This is these two reporters, and you have to see them really to fully appreciate the douchebaggery of them.
	It's like, no.
	And as you'll see, I think one of the things that readers noted with our story was that we kind of changed the format a little bit.
	We wanted to have this be an opportunity to hear these women in their own words as much as possible.
	And so that's why you had large chunks of excerpts from our interviews.
	All taken out of context.
	You notice how she said we changed the format up a little?
	That's not something that just happens overnight at a publication like the New York Times.
	Oh, let me tell you, having written for the New York Times...
	This place is outrageous with their controls, the editorial controls.
	I mean, I wrote a piece once on Comdex, and I had to go over it with the editor to make sure that every word I'd use has been approved.
	I mean, you talk about every word has to be an approved word.
	And so it got to the point where I had this one phrase.
	Well, I was complaining about the showgoers hitting on the booth bimbo.
	Oh, boy.
	Yeah.
	That got taken out.
	It was a concern that she spent a bunch of time, the editor.
	She was concerned on the usage of the term hitting on.
	Oh, hitting on.
	Oh, wow.
	Okay.
	And they found Frank Rich had used the word or somebody had to say, oh, you're gold.
	She said, yeah.
	You can use hitting on because it was like, it's very, very controlled.
	So if something like this, you don't, there's nothing, that's why they still use Mr.
	Donald and Mr.
	Harold and Mr.
	this and Mr.
	that.
	And IBM is always I.B.M. Yeah.
	This is a very, very, very rigid operation.
	So if they're bending the rules...
	If they're changing the format, if they're changing it up a little, that's not something that happens overnight.
	Certainly not for a...
	This is a scam.
	...for a front page story.
	...as much as possible, and so that's why you had large chunks of excerpts from our interviews.
	And so, you know, we thought that that was a really powerful way to kind of capture the experiences of a variety of women inside and outside the workplace.
	Guys, she very clearly uses the words, it was misleading, you took her words out of context, you didn't fully quote her, is what she suggests.
	She said she called something flattering right after one of these anecdotes.
	As a journalist, that's concerning.
	You can barely say, oh, it's the New York Times, I've got to be careful, I might want a job there one day.
	As a journalist, isn't that concerning?
	As a journalist, that's concerning.
	What do you guys think happened?
	You know, when I interviewed Roanne, she was very clearly, she used the word taken aback at one point about that example.
	I think it's pretty clear from the fact that she went on to date him that she had a big experience with him.
	It was an encompassing one.
	It started off with her being asked to put on a bathing suit and taken out to the pool.
	And by the end, she was traveling with him in Atlantic City in a helicopter.
	This is one of the most misogynistic, disgusting things I've ever heard from anyone from the New York Times.
	How dare you, sir?
	How very dare you?
	Accuse a woman of jumping into bed with someone because it started with, put this bathing suit on.
	They assassinated this woman's character.
	She's making it sound that way.
	But in fact, if you're like at a pool, hey, put a bathing suit on and do some swimming.
	Would you like to take a ride in a chopper?
	I'm going over here.
	You want to come?
	I mean, it seems casual to me.
	Hey, look at this thing.
	You want to touch it?
	I mean, of course.
	That's how it works.
	Where's that in the story?
	I wish!
	But, you know, obviously, they're saying that, oh, this woman's just a slut.
	This is slut-shaming.
	It really is.
	Especially because the woman, Rowan, whatever her name is, she says, this is not at all my experience.
	It was not some predator who came after me and hung some trinkets on me like a bathing suit and then boom, bingo, boom, shakalaka.
	And by the way, even if it was that way, even if it was that way, a grown woman can do whatever she wants.
	And here's the New York Times, the morality police, saying, oh, what a slut!
	Yeah, you're right.
	This is total slut-shaming.
	It is...
	I can't use the word.
	It's shameful, but because I slut-shame and shame, I can't think of something else.
	It's ridiculous.
	These people should be...
	Fired!
	Well, they're not going to get fired.
	They're doing the job that they're told to do, apparently.
	Yeah, but this was storytelling.
	This was not news reporting.
	This is again, you know...
	Finish it up.
	Finish it up.
	I'm going to finish the track.
	Encompassing one, it started off with her being asked to put on a bathing suit and taken out to the pool.
	And by the end, she was traveling with him in Atlantic City in a helicopter.
	And we quoted her warmly and at length.
	And we pointed out that she went on to have a whirlwind romance with him.
	Oh, man.
	Okay, well that's your story.
	That's exactly how you think.
	How other women act.
	It's shameful for the gay guy and this cute girl to sit there And say, well, you know, we quoted her warmly.
	What does that mean?
	Is that in the guidebook at the New York Times?
	Please quote all your sources warmly.
	I think that Trump, if he's going to get anywhere, he's going to have to make peace with the CIA. That's what this is.
	I could be wrong.
	I mean, I don't know for a fact, because I'm not in any part of this system, but This paper and CBS. CBS is the other one.
	I'm starting to watch them more and it's like, oh, brother, they're really slipping it in there.
	Even ABC is a little, you know, they've kind of given in and they've given Trump some slack and pushing Bernie a little bit.
	Yeah.
	Because they were the Jeb Bush thing.
	NBC, I have not really followed.
	I'm going to start following.
	I'm going to drop ABC and start watching NBC. Mm-hmm.
	But CBS is the worst, and they were cited, like I said in the last show, in Carl Bernstein's long essay on the CIA and the media.
	And the New York Times is another sellout operation, and they just do what they're told.
	We know that Operation Mockingbird, Operation Pundit, all of these CIA programs were all uncovered at the church conference.
	Commission.
	Committee.
	Committee it was.
	Which was eventually reversed.
	All the findings and most of the information has been disappeared.
	But Trump's going to have to make peace with these guys because they're going to just keep doing this crap.
	Even though it hasn't been effective.
	That's the irony.
	Be careful.
	They do run the drone program, so you've got to be a little careful.
	Then a final clip for me was...
	Bill Kristol, one of the original neocons, co-author of the Project for a New American Century that called for the new Pearl Harbor before 9-11, and considered to be one of the Republican elite.
	And he is not just a Republican elite, he is delusional.
	This is a great clip.
	I love how he just goes off the deep end.
	And the question is, hey, how about bringing in another candidate for the, you know, for the...
	For the convention.
	You know, get someone else to step in.
	Which at this point, I think would be very ill-advised.
	But that's the way he's thinking.
	How is your effort to find a third-party candidate going?
	It's going fine.
	I mean, it's a tough thing to do.
	If it were easy, people would do it every four years.
	But there are a lot of serious people who think the country deserves a better choice than Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, and they're considering it.
	And I think we'll know in a couple of weeks whether someone serious steps up.
	The mechanical, logistical, legal obstacles are manageable, honestly.
	The money will be there.
	Are they?
	I mean, but what about the Texas not being able to be on the Texas ballot, the deadline having passed, other deadlines coming up?
	I think a legal challenge against the Texas early deadline would succeed.
	I like that.
	We know how to do that.
	We'll take care of the Texans.
	We'll just sue them.
	Just succeeded in the 80s.
	You'd have to do a couple of lawsuits.
	Texas, North Carolina.
	All the other ballots.
	Where's everyone complaining about this guy saying, oh, just a couple of lawsuits.
	When Trump says lawsuit, oh, front page news.
	Texas, North Carolina.
	All the other ballots you can get on.
	People have some kind of weird interest in telling us how hard this is to do.
	Let us try to do it.
	I mean, look, this isn't finding a figurehead, as someone said earlier.
	This is about getting a serious person who wants to do the right thing for the country.
	There are several people, Ben Sasse, Tom Cobra, and Mitt Romney have all said they don't think they could support either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump.
	Asking these people to run, that's a huge, you know, hurdle.
	That's a big obligation for them, and they're pondering it and weighing it.
	But they're serious people, and I think one of them will probably do it.
	So who's on your shortlist?
	Well, I mentioned Ben Sasse, the young senator from Nebraska.
	But he said no.
	Ben Sasse.
	He said no so far.
	Let's see what he says this week.
	Listen to what he says.
	He said no so far.
	Let's see what he says next week.
	No.
	He said no so far.
	Let's see what he says this week, next week.
	Tom Coburn, the recently retired senator from Oklahoma, a real man of integrity, bipartisan respect in Congress, early advocate for cutting government, a constitutional conservative.
	And I think that he said that there might be like hell turns, that he wasn't able to do it.
	Yeah, well, look, if you're going to just say that it's tough to do and then no one has stepped forward, yes, yes, no one has stepped forward, yes.
	Do I think someone could step forward?
	Yes.
	Have I been in touch with Sasse and Coburn and Mitt Romney?
	Yes.
	Do these people seriously think the country deserves better?
	Yes.
	Now, if you guys want to say, oh, well, I mean, I'm sorry, people have said no, it can't happen.
	It's great.
	Let's have a Trump.
	You guys would love a Trump-Clinton race.
	Fantastic news every day, right?
	Two really unattractive candidates fighting stupidly about their personal lives, fighting with the New York Times.
	I'd like to have someone run who could really do better for the country.
	Wow, what a lunatic.
	Calm down.
	Yeah, he does need to calm down a little bit.
	Completely delusional.
	Well, because he knows they're going to...
	Well, actually...
	Probably both of them would probably just oust those guys from any sort of position where they could have any influence, which is a real problem.
	Although, the Kagans are in with Hillary, so that may not be true.
	Yeah, he's not beautiful.
	Well, I have one thing at least to kind of summarize some of this.
	They've already got the cash machine geared up, ready to go.
	And let's play this clip.
	This is just from yesterday's news.
	New polls.
	Okay, new polls.
	We turn now to the race for the White House and the new poll just out as we came on the air tonight.
	This could be a very tight race all the way through November.
	The poll now showing Donald Trump leading Hillary Clinton by three points nationally within the margin of error.
	But that's a flip from just weeks ago.
	The last poll had Clinton ahead.
	Donald Trump with key meetings today he hopes will send a new message about foreign policy and what his financial disclosure forms reveal about his wealth.
	Here's ABC's Tom Yamas with the numbers.
	He still won't release his taxes.
	Okay.
	I don't know how they got on there.
	But there was a couple things.
	Uh...
	You know they strategize this because you've been in these kinds of executive meetings.
	So you're sitting around and you know the poll scam and how it works.
	We've talked about this on the show.
	For advertising results.
	Yeah, you want to get the most money into the coffers of the networks or the newspaper, whatever you are.
	Close race.
	Close polling.
	So you want to make it a close race always.
	Now, it's always been, if you remember the very beginning of the primaries, it was always, oh, Trump's got a ceiling of 30% and that's that.
	Don't worry about it.
	And then the next thing you know, it kept creeping up and creeping up to the point where the message was, the meme was, oh, he's going to ruin the Republican Party.
	There's no chance of him beating Hillary.
	And not only that, but he's going to destroy the Republican Party because he couldn't possibly be.
	Now he's ahead in the polls.
	Yeah.
	So what's happened is that the meme makers, who didn't want this guy to run in the first place...
	They influenced the polls.
	...pushed aside for the monetary interests.
	Yes, of course.
	So what we want to do, because who's got the most money right now?
	Hillary seems to...
	I think she has tons of money, yeah.
	So let's push Trump into front, into the front, so she's going to have to start spending that money immediately.
	And all those PACs, which are freaky, those people don't know what they're doing.
	They're going to start just throwing crummy ads onto the networks as fast as they can because they got to start now.
	Because Trump's crippled.
	All of a sudden, he's ahead of her.
	And this is just going to be hilarious to watch as they try to.
	Because for one thing, the real problem, if you're having a meeting, you're having an executive meeting, is how do we squeeze more money from Trump?
	Because he's a tightwad.
	Yeah, this guy's no good.
	You know, so we were stuck with him.
	We would have gone with anybody else because we could get them to spend money, but Jeb Bush would have been perfect.
	Look at the money he squandered.
	But we can't do that.
	Yeah, but Trump has understood the network effect, which we, of course, on this program understand very well, where it's not just one way.
	It's not good enough to just send emails from MailChimp saying, chip in for Hillary.
	Trump must die.
	Donate a dollar.
	So when it comes to the media, and of course we're going to see lots of attack ads, which is our favorite money-raising venue in mainstream media, Trump will just have, I think the way he will play it, he'll just have tons of people, like our own producers, creating great ads, really funny, that will cost almost nothing, and they won't have to be broadcast on TV. Trump just retweets him.
	Losing proposition.
	Well, this is what I'm saying.
	There are meetings going on right now.
	That's why they push Trump ahead, because they know at least it's not going to be a cakewalk for Hillary, so she's going to have to start spending big.
	But meanwhile, the big problem is what are we going to do about Trump?
	We can't get enough.
	We can't squeeze him.
	Hold on.
	I called to order a meeting of the Curry-Dvorak Consultant Group.
	Open the floor now to suggestions on how can the media stop Trump or squeeze money out of him, preferably.
	Well, preferably.
	You can't stop him so he can give up on that.
	These guys are lunatics who think they can.
	Unless, you know, somebody does something evil.
	But the goal is to squeeze money out of him somehow.
	Now, he has talked about...
	You know, accepting money, finally.
	He's got his billionaire friends, Shelley Adelson will drop up $100 million.
	And that announcement is extremely important.
	I see time and time again, I see people on the TVs saying, but what happened?
	How come all these Republicans flipped all of a sudden?
	Well, there's the magical $100 million, which is not for Trump.
	That's really for Congress and for the Senate, because now all that money is going to start coming in to get the House and the Senate in order, and majority's there.
	Anyone who's up for re-election this year, including John McCain, is very silent all of a sudden.
	Oh, well, yeah, but I guess I'll support him, you know.
	I can't really go against him, because if Trump becomes president, everybody knows that they will be the first to get cut off from everything.
	They're all pussies.
	And this moment, which is barely discussed, if at all, is really passing us by as we speak.
	But notice the people who were all against Donald Trump and now are quiet or have said, yeah, I support our party.
	And it's because they're up for re-election, including John McCain, one of the most vocal opponents who was personally...
	Attacked by Trump.
	Trump said, I like people who don't get caught.
	Which has turned into, he makes jokes about veterans!
	Yeah, well they like to twist the memes, but they're going to stop doing that as we get closer to the election.
	But those people need to be voted out.
	They're pussies.
	Yeah, well, they should be.
	But we're going to start seeing a slowly kind of a pivot.
	Let's use a Silicon Valley word.
	The media is going to pivot away from the attacks because they're going to start to get, they want the money.
	Oh, well, there you go.
	That's what I do.
	Here's how I start focusing the stories.
	So they may even just mention the money.
	They'll say, well, Donald Trump...
	They're going to start mentioning the money for sure.
	Yes.
	In fact, let me interrupt.
	They're going to probably do...
	Trump is probably risking a lot by not spending the money.
	But I think they will pull it right back to the houses, to the House and to the Senate, because that's still money.
	Those people need to spend money.
	Everybody needs money.
	But they're going to have to somehow...
	I think one thing you can do is imply that he's an amateur because he hasn't got enough money.
	And how about this?
	How about this?
	They may even go all out because I've always held, and this is the first election where it may not be true, I've always held true that the person with the most money becomes president.
	Barack Obama, the first round was a billion.
	The second round was two billion spent.
	And it's, of course, not all just in advertising, but a lot of it is, a majority.
	Most of it.
	If you look at the budgets.
	Most of it.
	Yeah.
	So I think that they will, you'll probably see the following.
	Well, Donald Trump has only spent, you know, $60 million versus Hillary Clinton's, you know, it took $2 billion for Barack Obama to win.
	They're going to start doing stuff like this.
	Well, here's another way to go.
	You can try this.
	Because if you can get Hillary really spending, because she's got tons of money, they're going to spend it all.
	Although they're going to pocket a lot.
	But she knows how to do that.
	So what they're going to do is they're going to...
	You're going to see stories like this.
	It's going to be a parallel story.
	Parallel stories where...
	Hillary is moving ahead in the polls.
	That's why you want to push Trump up there now.
	You push Trump up now, so you got him.
	Okay, he's out.
	She's outspending him and moving up in the polls.
	Yes, outspending him and moving up in the polls.
	All right.
	That will shake Trump, shake some money out of him.
	Okay, everybody.
	All in favor, say aye.
	Aye.
	All nays.
	The ayes have it.
	Congratulations.
	This concludes the meeting of the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group.
	Thank you.
	I'm Hillary Clinton, and I approve this message.
	And with that, I would like Bernie Sanders to...
	Let me begin by thanking you for your courage.
	And say in the morning to you, John, see what the C stands for.
	Confirm or deny Dvorak.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry, and in the morning, all the ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water and all the dames.
	Yes.
	And nights out there.
	In the morning to everyone in the chat room, noagendastream.com.
	Thanks for showing up in big numbers.
	Let me see.
	We're almost quadruple digits today.
	Very, very close.
	And I want to thank our artists.
	In particular, I'd like to thank at Neil Campbell for bringing us the artwork for episode 825.
	Title of that was F4K380085. Which, of course, would be our limited hack store.
	And Neil came up with a pretty cool thing.
	The gender bender art.
	Which is bender.
	It says fake boobs.
	Yeah, fake boobs.
	Which was referred to in the show.
	Yeah.
	And it was a bender from, what's the?
	Futurama.
	Futurama, right.
	With a pink tutu on.
	The gender bender.
	Liked it.
	It was good.
	Of course, noagendaartgenerator.com is where all of the artwork is submitted by our artists.
	You can check out, I mean, there's 10 times more submissions than we can choose, obviously.
	But we appreciate everything that comes in.
	And it's just beautiful art.
	I mean, I sometimes just look at the site.
	Just go through it and say, oh, this is nice.
	Just cool stuff to look at.
	And we appreciate the work that everyone does.
	But especially Neil today.
	And we want to remind people a couple of things.
	Some new artists came along recently and they did some great art, but we couldn't use it because the typeface was too small.
	Yes, yes.
	It was shrunk down.
	And then there's still the problem with people who will put the show number.
	On the art, which means that the show, this can't even be used as evergreen sometime in the future.
	It's a one, you just swung for the fences and struck out.
	Don't do that.
	Because we do, occasionally, we had like a couple weeks ago, they had like three pieces came in.
	One of them was okay, it wasn't great, but often we go back and we've spent as long as a half an hour going back into the archives to find something that would be appropriate for a specific show.
	So, just so you know.
	So let's thank a few people, including Sir Andrew Largeman in Taipei City in Taiwan.
	$500.
	Nice.
	Where are the rest of the knights, you ask?
	Fine.
	Here I am with my latest donation.
	John, your shaming tactic worked.
	Yes, I asked in the newsletter where all the knights go.
	Please play for me the Brolf clip.
	Not the truncated one with just the good-to-be-here Brolf, but the longer version that includes Wolf thanking Dr.
	Fauci.
	Oh, yeah.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Please also play the NPR lady underwriting, advertising, whatever you call it, which Adam failed to locate on a recent episode.
	Yes, I'm bad.
	I'm bad.
	Love you guys as always, Sir Andrew.
	All right.
	And some karma.
	Would you like that as well?
	Yes, obviously.
	Dr.
	Fauci, thanks so much, as always, for joining us.
	Okay, moving on to money.
	How are NPR's corporate underwriting revenues holding up in the recession?
	And what about foundation grants?
	Two different stories.
	Underwriting is down.
	It's down for everybody.
	I mean, this is the area that is most down for us, is in sponsorship, underwriting, advertising, call it whatever you want.
	That's one hot baby.
	You've got karma.
	There you go.
	The long-lost NPR clip.
	Retrieve.
	Jay Anonymous in Tigard, Oregon.
	321-33.
	He has an email message coming, he says.
	I have to...
	I'll get that in the meantime, and we'll read it on the second half.
	Okay?
	All right.
	Jane Anonymous.
	I'll remember.
	Sir Jane Anonymous.
	Kent O'Rourke in Frostburg, Maryland, 23456.
	Nice.
	He just wants some job hunting karma.
	Oh, that's no problem.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Karma.
	And once again from Alberta, Baroness Monica Lansing, 22222, who does the show on the road like you guys.
	Would appreciate a mention of the No Agenda Redneck meetup in Red Deer, Alberta.
	Okay.
	We have a lot of people in Alberta, Edmonton, not so many in Calgary, when they're scattered around.
	And anyway, come on Edmonton for only Calgary and Drayton peeps going.
	So far, only Calgary and Drayton peeps going, which means about three people, I'm guessing.
	Yeah.
	So let's say, yeah, that'd be great.
	I think it's not, I mean, it's probably still snowing, but I might be able to get out.
	Anonymous, $208.61 from Camp Hill, Pennsylvania.
	For the show, could we get a WTC Won't Go Away followed by That's Important from the Italian Priest.
	WTC 7 Won't Go Away.
	Yeah, that's important.
	You've got karma.
	Yeah, that is important.
	That always kills me, that one.
	It's very funny.
	It's important.
	I know, it's important.
	It's like a stereotype of stereotypes.
	Yeah, it's fab.
	Russell Hickey in Nashville, Tennessee, 201-01.
	I continue to support the best podcast in the universe.
	Sir Russell, karma for all.
	Sorry, here we go.
	You've got karma.
	Karma for all deployed.
	And finally, Kate...
	And that's Sir Russell, by the way.
	And finally, Kate Marengo in Chicago, 200.
	This karma donation will complete my husband's knighthood.
	Nice.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
	We have no knightings on the list.
	This is not correct.
	Well, that we do now.
	So he will be...
	What's his name?
	Let me finish reading it.
	Okay.
	He's going under the knife for major spinal surgery on May 23rd and 26th that I don't like the sounds of.
	No.
	Noah Jen has been a huge part of my show and I'd like him, Tony Marengo, to become the knight he's always been for me.
	Please send karma to my husband, Tony, and myself and our two-year-old human resource.
	Oh, okay.
	Okay.
	All right, definitely.
	Here you go.
	Good luck with that, man.
	Pull him for you.
	You've got karma.
	Tony Marengo.
	All right.
	Got it.
	Perfect.
	And that includes our little group of producers and executive producers for show...
	I don't know.
	353?
	No, try 826.
	That'll work.
	826.
	Yes.
	Remember, we have another show come up on Sunday, and we do need your support to get through it all.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. And no matter what you're doing to help the show, one thing can always be done.
	That is propagating our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Water. Order.
	Shut up, slave. .
	Shut up, Slade!
	And of course, we always like to thank our executive producers and associate executive producers at the beginning of the show.
	Just the way it is in Hollywood, because these credits are real, just like the peerage is real.
	Okey-doke.
	As real as it gets.
	Yeah.
	Let me see.
	Well, there's a couple of those little sidelight clips here.
	Let me see what I had.
	Oh yeah, this is interesting.
	This was a short bit.
	This was about the 28 pages and they said it was going to pass some law that required or something.
	And then Josh Earnest comes out and says something which kind of doesn't quite explain it.
	Until you think about it, then you realize, oh, this isn't good.
	28 pages.
	The Senate's passed a bill that would let the families of September 11th victims sue Saudi Arabia for any role it played in the attacks.
	This comes as the Obama administration faces renewed pressure to release 28 classified page of the 9-11 report, which are said to contain details on the Saudi role.
	Saudi Arabia has threatened to sell off up to $750 billion in Treasury securities and other U.S. assets if the measure passes.
	White House spokesperson Josh Earnest opposed the bill.
	This legislation would change long-standing international law regarding sovereign immunity.
	And the President of the United States continues to harbor serious concerns that this legislation would make the United States vulnerable.
	In other court systems around the world.
	Yes, like the International Criminal Court.
	Well, not only that, but what it says to me, and this is why they don't want to release the 28 pages despite the Saudis not wanting this.
	I don't know what the Senate's thinking, because if we can start suing the Saudi Arabians for 9-11, that's 3,000 people that could sue over this.
	We have killed probably 100,000 in Iraq.
	Yes.
	That could sue us?
	Yeah, but they're brown.
	It's a lesser status.
	They can still sue?
	Well, the dead ones can't.
	Well, they have families.
	Okay.
	He was very clear.
	Buried.
	Buried with suits.
	He probably should be buried with suits, but we could be.
	Now, this whole thing is a disaster.
	No, he was very clear.
	He was in all kinds of other venues around the world.
	Yes, the International Criminal Court.
	Nobody there wants to go to jail.
	Right.
	I get it.
	Yeah, and we'll see what the big bad Saudis do.
	Another bill that was in the House, which I do not think passed, was H.R. 8907, which is Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act of 2015.
	Very short bill.
	Really, the entire purpose is to allow to reduce regulation on pesticide and larvicide use.
	Which, as far as I can tell, really is only two things.
	You won't have to request an individual license each time you want to spray, and I think there's some documentation that you won't have to do.
	But of course this was tried, actually the Democrats blocked this as Republicans were trying to push this through using Zika as the obvious, oh we have Zika, we need to loosen restrictions on pesticide and larvicide spraying in big farming.
	Agro business.
	I do have my Zika clips.
	Well, I've got my clip first.
	Here's New York City.
	We're happy!
	Much like it did during the West Nile virus scare a few years ago, the Department of Health will begin an aerial spraying operation of marsh and non-residential areas at two dozen sites on Staten Island, the Bronx, and Brooklyn, including Marine Park.
	Weather permitting, it will be a three-day operation between 6 a.m.
	and 7 p.m.
	Mosquito populations are expected to rise as heat and damp weather conditions escalate.
	Officials stress they will be using environmentally friendly larvicide to kill the infant mosquito eggs.
	Larvicide again.
	Yeah, larvicide.
	Small heads are coming.
	The marine park are concerned.
	Wait, explain.
	Explain.
	Well, everyone believes that the larvicide down in Brazil, the one they were using, was really the problem with creating this microencephaly.
	Is the actual larvicide itself, which is to kill the larvae.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Hold on a second.
	We've got to do this right.
	We have here the great Dr.
	Dvorak.
	Oh, why can't I get this now?
	The great Dr.
	Dvorak, who is going to look into the future and tell us what will happen with this initiative from New York City.
	Go ahead, Dr.
	Dvorak.
	There will be small heads cropping up in New York and eventually discover that the larva site is the problem, not the mosquitoes.
	And by the way, when you're doing all these mosquito spraying, that mosquito doesn't exist in the New York area.
	No.
	I know.
	Or otherwise there'd be dengue.
	They're just spraying the citizens like bugs.
	Spraying them like bugs.
	Like bugs.
	You're just a bug, people.
	To kill the infant mosquito eggs, residents of Marine Park are concerned and relieved that the city is taking action.
	I just want my kids to be safe.
	Think of the children!
	The mosquitoes, they harbor a lot of diseases, so I think spraying is a good idea.
	Yeah!
	I'm definitely concerned about the virus, but I'm happy that the city's taking the precautionary measures to make sure that we're safe as a community.
	There are a lot of mosquitoes around here, of course, because we have the salt marsh right over here.
	But I'm troubled by the fact that they're spraying.
	I love how they cut that guy off.
	I'm told by the fact they're spraying.
	By the fact that they're spraying.
	We're glad that they're spraying because she's seven months pregnant and we don't want any problems.
	Health officials say Zika is not considered dangerous for most people.
	However, Zika does cause birth defects.
	It may mean for the baby that they could have problems with developmental delay, not hitting their milestones and cognitive problems later in life.
	No, that's just our schooling system that causes that.
	This Connecticut teenager was shocked to learn that she has contracted the disease after becoming pregnant while visiting her fiancé in Honduras.
	Pay attention to this girl.
	girl you'll see her come back soon with a baby with a small head my mom had to get the larvicide sprayed in time and she was like your blood work got back and you were positive for zika in parts of new jersey they're attacking the mosquito i love the vernacular there I tested positive for Zika.
	We're positive for Zika.
	In parts of New Jersey, they're attacking the mosquito problem a different way.
	Eat, babies, eat!
	Some communities are stocking waterways with a type of fish that eat the eggs of mosquitoes.
	It's a very clean way to control the mosquito population because the fish eat the larvae of the mosquito.
	They eat them before they become mosquitoes.
	There you go.
	Well, New Jersey's at least smart.
	They're trying to do something different.
	Well, that's actually a smart idea.
	That's the way to go.
	Not with the larva side.
	And which larva side is this?
	Do we know which one made it?
	I forgot.
	It's the one.
	I could look it up.
	It's been brought up by...
	I just want to know who makes it.
	That's all.
	I want to know who makes it.
	I think it's a Monsanto product.
	Why does that not surprise me somehow?
	It's all one and the same.
	First of all, I want to play in advance.
	I want to play an ISO in advance.
	Okay.
	So you could have it in your mind so when you see it in context, you can see how it's called.
	I would say...
	When you're doing an interview, this is CBS again.
	And CBS, of course, is the most compromised of the networks, in my opinion.
	And they do what they're told, and they're pushing for this money they've got to get from Congress for these guys so they can spread some corrupt money around the world.
	And so they're all in on how bad it is that the government's being cheap and not coughing up $2 billion for whatever.
	1.9.
	It's not the government.
	It's the pledged money from other governments.
	Yeah.
	Right, we talk about it.
	But here is the leading the witness clip ISO, so you'll hear it in the report.
	Is that ten times what you normally get?
	It's about ten times what we normally get.
	Okay, ten times what you normally get is about ten times what we normally get.
	Yeah, play it one more time so you can understand the dynamics of it where the guy, the reporter says, is this ten times what you normally get?
	Yes, Wes.
	Is that ten times what you normally get?
	It's about 10 times what we normally get.
	To me, I would listen to that and go, this is ridiculous.
	Let the guy talk.
	What are you telling him what to say?
	But okay, this is the Zika CBS report about 10 times what you normally get.
	It's a race against time to kill mosquitoes that carry Zika, a virus linked to birth defects.
	Today, the Senate approved just over $1 billion for the battle, but that's only about half.
	Remember we used to use the word linked to?
	It would be linked to Al-Qaeda.
	Now they're using this for Zika.
	Linked to.
	Linked to birth defects.
	It's the link to thing.
	It's back.
	Yeah, link to.
	Link to.
	Yeah, we don't use that anymore.
	We just say it's ISIS. We don't say linked to Al-Qaeda.
	Notice that's just gone.
	There's no more links to Al-Qaeda.
	The Senate approved just over $1 billion for the battle, but that's only about half of what the president has asked for.
	The House majority wants even less, 622 million.
	All Zika cases in the U.S. so far have been in people who traveled from Latin America.
	But health officials here expect mosquito-borne infections will occur in the U.S. soon.
	David Begnaud is in Florida.
	There are over 100 cases of Zika in Florida, more than any other state in the U.S. And officials say more funding is the key to stopping the spread.
	Florida Governor Rick Scott.
	This is an urgent need.
	We need to be doing this now.
	We need to come to an conclusion now.
	We need to prepare before we have the crisis.
	Republican Senator Marco Rubio represents Florida and agrees.
	If this becomes a serious outbreak, it's not going to cost $1.9 billion.
	It could cost $4 billion or $5 billion.
	It is money the state needs, for example, for mosquito inspectors.
	Florida does not have enough of them to monitor neighborhoods, so the state is now paying to train private pest controllers in emergency Zika detection.
	Michael Doyle is director of mosquito control in the Florida Keys.
	The key is going house to house, spraying for the mosquitoes under the bushes, under your porch.
	All the calls we're getting are throughout the county.
	And then there's the demand for spraying.
	Anton oversees mosquito control in Broward County.
	How many calls a day are you getting from people who'd like for you to go spray in their neighborhood?
	On average, about 400 to 500.
	Of course.
	Please, government, spray me.
	Please spray my kids, government.
	Please spray.
	A day.
	Is that 10 times what you normally get?
	It's about 10 times what we normally get.
	Ha ha!
	But it is for expectant mothers here that the fear looms largest.
	Is it a boy or a girl?
	A girl.
	Emergency room nurse Laura Pratt is expecting her first child next week.
	There's so many risks to worry about and this is just something else that I could be doing my normal thing and potentially harm my child.
	Now, let's agree that the virus exists.
	By the way, yeah, we should.
	But by the way, this report went on for another five minutes.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	Oh, man.
	With the conclusion that we need more money.
	But anyway, yes, this virus does exist.
	It's not bullcrap.
	But the important thing here is that, and these are studies that show that it may be the larvicide that is causing the microcephaly.
	And this is just not being brought up anywhere.
	No, it's been brought up, but it doesn't add to the meme.
	We need $1.9 billion.
	Pay up, suckers.
	We promised that money to other people.
	They're getting antsy.
	They got payroll to make.
	Yeah.
	Come on, Silicon Valley Fund.
	We do what we say.
	Here's the Zika, I think this is the finale on CBS. There's a little more from that piece.
	Specifically is not being done for lack of money.
	Well, local mosquito control efforts.
	So you heard from David Begnaud's piece, what's going on in Florida.
	I'm hearing similar urgency elsewhere.
	And in Houston, the public health officials there told me they are desperately awaiting, desperately need congressional funding.
	And it's already mosquito season in the South.
	You know, it's already mosquito season in the South.
	And you have to ask yourself, as public health officials...
	Say what, say what?
	That was another leading the witness.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	The whole thing is filled with that.
	But this is because they did a pre-interview, and the journalist, the interviewer, is not actually listening to the guy.
	He's just waiting for the answers that he expects to his questions, as per the pre-interview, which he probably didn't even do.
	You'll see this on talk shows.
	Those guys are too big to do pre-interviews.
	You'll see this on talk shows all the time.
	All the time.
	So, yeah, you know, you had an interesting story about something that happened last Thursday at the drive-in, didn't you?
	Oh yeah, that's right.
	Yeah, that was really interesting.
	Yeah, I did have that.
	You know, it's already mosquito season in the South, and you have to ask yourself, as public health officials are asking, do we really need to wait for the very first mosquito right here in the United States to get infected with Zika and spread it locally before springing into action and mounting a full-court press that is so desperately needed?
	Dr.
	John LaPook following Zika for us every day.
	John, thank you.
	Thank you very much for following it for us every day.
	This is really important.
	Thank you so much.
	Thank you, thank you, thank you.
	John LaPoop.
	Oh, this just in.
	Apparently, wreckage has been found from Egypt Air 804.
	Okay, well that's a start.
	You'll have the whole thing on Sunday.
	I have a clip that was just so bizarre that I think it would be just nice to switch it up a little bit.
	This is Whoopi Goldberg.
	You know that's usually good for a laugh.
	Oh yeah, this is your beat.
	This is my beat indeed.
	And she was going on about the Hillary Clinton emails.
	She wigged out a bit, but she did some funny stuff which was, in my mind, ISO-worthy.
	I'll have to listen to it.
	Well, she is ISO-worthy.
	Listen to it.
	Her contention is that everyone should shut up about Hillary's emails because they never spoke about it before.
	They never discussed it.
	They were receiving emails from her.
	They could have seen that it was from a non-government email address.
	And if they didn't speak up then, there was no big deal.
	Then why are people bitching about it now?
	And she should just say the same thing about Bill Cosby then.
	And I will point out that in 2013, Guccifer, remember Guccifer, which we all like the name because we've been calling Hillary Clinton Lucifer for years, Guccifer hacked into several email accounts.
	George Bush, Poppy Bush's drawings, his paintings, and also 20,000 emails reported to be from Hillary Clinton.
	Which I believe are the ones that the Kremlin is talking about when they suggest they may, where there's suggestion on the internet that the Kremlin may release those.
	That's probably more factual.
	Anyway, so here's Whoopi.
	Here's what I say about the emails.
	This is what I asked her.
	How is it if these were so classified?
	Classified!
	She's going insane, man.
	Classified!
	That nobody who got those emails said, hey, Hill, maybe you shouldn't be sending this across this.
	Nobody said Jack until she said she was running.
	I find that amazing.
	And the other thing is they spent nine hours, 12 hours with her, saying, what happened over in Benghazi?
	I say, what happened?
	What happened?
	She's going, she's going, I do this sometimes on the show, but you never do it on TV.
	It's not a good look when you, what happened?
	It's not good.
	And, you know, they asked...
	There was nothing else they could have asked.
	The last thing they could have said was, how long did it take you to give birth?
	That was the only question they didn't ask.
	They asked that off-stream.
	That's right.
	And so they got the answers.
	Because you get the answers you don't want, or you think there's more, isn't a good enough reason to put the country.
	Because this is, after all, about us.
	This really is about our country.
	It's not about who wins or loses.
	It's supposed to be about What we want.
	And that same woman who was in the Benghazi hearings, who stood, like, so strong, is the same one that's going to be debating this guy in these debates where he knows nothing.
	So Americans are going to see the truth very shortly.
	For the emails, though, remember, she decided what emails to turn over.
	She made deletions on that server that we didn't know about.
	Why didn't the people who got the emails, because I have to assume they were more than just her daughter, I'm assuming she sent them to other people in government.
	Somebody could have said, hey, my goodness.
	He didn't go to the lengths of setting up a private server in his home.
	Here's the deal.
	Somebody should have said then.
	I hear what you're saying.
	But nobody did.
	And that's what makes me, and I know it doesn't matter what I think, but I'm untrustworthy of people who wait.
	And say, oh, no, now they're classified.
	Now they're classified.
	But everybody's seen them already.
	See, that's my argument against her, though, because a lot of that information is born classified.
	And what that means is she, as secretary of state, is supposed to know that based on the content, not the indication.
	Can I just ask you a question?
	Have you ever been secretary of state?
	Oh, really?
	And I expect her to know her job.
	And I'm going to assume that she did know her job.
	And other people, because she was there an awful long time to be screwing up that badly, if we listen to that.
	I mean, she was there several years.
	Somebody should have noticed that.
	My God!
	That's classified!
	I think she should have been that person to notice that.
	But they weren't classified, and they weren't classified until the government just classified them.
	We'll be right back with more Hot Topics.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Oh, brother.
	I know.
	I know.
	She's horrible.
	But that, you know, that's the legit noise that she's making.
	Which, of course, I was able to turn into a nice ISO fest.
	How long did it take you to give birth?
	Get out of my vagina!
	Classify!
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Outstanding.
	Alright, what else do we have?
	Let me see.
	Oh, Gitmo Lowlands is celebrating.
	One of the few times I'll talk about sports on the show.
	As brand new rookie driver, first race in Formula One, Mux Verstappen.
	Won.
	But not just a little bit, but like six seconds.
	The country is freaking out.
	Mux Verstappen?
	Yeah, Mux Verstappen.
	And he is a second generation Formula One driver from the Netherlands.
	And this was his debut.
	His dad, yeah.
	Jos.
	He was what?
	Jos Verstappen.
	Jos Verstappen.
	Jos.
	Yes, with a J. Jos.
	Jos.
	Jerry.
	Just call him Jerry.
	Jerry Verstappen.
	Jerry Verstappen.
	Yeah.
	How cool is that?
	No, they've forgotten all the troubles momentarily.
	It's been all week.
	We've got nothing to eat.
	The EU controls us.
	The banks are run by the European Union.
	We can't sell our products to Russia.
	We're just broke.
	You won!
	It's funny.
	Yeah, well, it's funny.
	Let me see.
	What else did we have?
	Well, I got something.
	I'm sure you do.
	I just thought it was a kick because this should be happening.
	Well, we can do some tech news.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	Let me get to it.
	I actually set it up this time so I'd be able to find it.
	And did I find it?
	Yes.
	Yes, I did.
	I found it.
	The only good phone's a landline, and the phone should be made out of Bakelite.
	That's right, everybody.
	Time once again for the one and only tech news with your tech one day.
	John C. Dvorak.
	Well, it looks like Google just rolled out a clone of your favorite device.
	You know, I watched based on your tweet about Google I.O. keynote.
	I watched.
	Yeah.
	Amazon.
	Amazon.
	Google Home.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, pathetic.
	It's going to be hooked up to everything that, you know, it's okay, Google.
	You say, okay, Google.
	And by the way, saying, okay, Google.
	Hold on, hold on.
	I saw something very subtle change in that.
	If you watch that video, shoot, I should have clipped it.
	That little promo video with the stupid family who only talked to the Google thing?
	Yeah.
	In the beginning, it's OK Google.
	There's twice OK Google.
	Then it's Hey Google.
	Yeah, Hey Google's part of it.
	Yeah, that's new.
	So I think it's the word Google that is triggering.
	It's Hey and OK or Hey.
	Well, the fact is...
	Hey Google!
	Well, they're kind of taking it from Hey Siri.
	You see the subtlety there?
	I forget his phrase.
	Hey Siri.
	Oh, they're making it so it's compatible.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Anyways, and then they show it turning on and off lights and turning it.
	As soon as you leave the house, it turns off your Nest controller and does all this stuff.
	This is just hacker.
	Some hackers have got to be out there just, just, just, oh, there must be in a state of ecstasy.
	Possibly.
	As a connection to a whole house, you can like, which I still think is going to happen.
	People are going to, and when you see all the analysis, nobody mentions this stuff.
	Somebody's going to get a hold of the interface and they're going to, so as soon as you leave the house, the Nest thermostat goes to max, goes to 200 degrees.
	All your oven's turned on, the coffee pot's turned on, everything's turned on, all the lights in the Nest.
	And you come back and your power bill's way up.
	The house is boiling hot if it doesn't catch on fire.
	Hilarious.
	You're really taking this to an extreme.
	That's what's going to happen.
	But this is not just happening with Google Home.
	This is the industrial society and its future.
	We're now moving into the future phase.
	Your cars are hackable.
	Stop it.
	Pull it off.
	Deploy the airbag.
	Turn the windshield wipers on.
	Turn the radio all the way up.
	Start honking the horn.
	Google Home.
	It'll happen to Amazon Echo, too.
	The thing that I found more disturbing from the Google keynote was Firebrand.
	Did you watch all the way to the end to watch the Firebrand stuff?
	I missed Firebrand.
	I got sick of it.
	Firebrand is this framework which is specifically made for apps, not just Android, but also iOS.
	And it really, truly is a spy mechanism inside...
	Any app, so they know exactly where you're pressing, I guess in some cases how hard you're pressing, where you came from, where you're going to, and just all of these little tracking tricks, which of course is all stored on Google Cloud, and you know what happens with that.
	You know what the agreements look like.
	Hey, if you get to use this for free, it's already available now.
	Put in all of your apps, but of course we get the aggregate data on the back end, or maybe not even aggregate data.
	Who knows what they're going to get?
	I found it to be, and there was no protest.
	It was just creepy.
	There's no protest about any of this stuff.
	And then there's other...
	Mind-boggling.
	Here's where Google is truly doing something evil, in my opinion.
	This...
	It was another...
	It wasn't the Firebrand stuff.
	It was another...
	module or some kind of development kit that you put in.
	And in an app, if you want to make a reservation, let's say click this link to make a reservation through OpenTable, it can then talk to the OpenTable server and bring in only that portion of the code of the app so you're really running an app within an app and you don't have to install apps all it can then talk to the OpenTable server and bring in only But what they've recreated is a web browser.
	You know, this But instead of it being the free and open web, now everything is jammed into an app.
	So instead of going from web page to web page, you go from app to app to app, sucking it inside the app.
	It seems like a very bad idea long term.
	It seems like you're going to break all kinds of stuff.
	Why do we need to recreate the web browser?
	That's all they've really done.
	It's all just crap, the way I see it.
	I'm not using any of this stuff.
	I did like that they had multiple women present at the I.O. conference.
	Yeah, they had the one.
	I saw one.
	No, I thought they were all kind of hot.
	Even the one with the dorky dress.
	Well, I thought the one that was wearing her boyfriend's shirt came out first.
	With that belt in the front and it's hanging in the back.
	Like some slob.
	Then she had the sexy wide leather belt hanging low.
	Yeah.
	That was sexy.
	Yeah, well.
	I can see all those developers like...
	Yeah, why did we have more girls on before?
	Yeah, what took you so long, girls?
	Girls?
	But, yeah, none of this will end well.
	None of it's going to end well with all this technology.
	Use all you want, but don't be dependent upon it.
	You'll be really, really sorely disappointed.
	So I've been writing about another thing, which I've maybe done four or five articles on the driverless car.
	And I'm a big fan of the driverless car, but everybody thinks I hate it.
	Because my information that I've been, or what I've been talking about is negative about why the driverless car is not going to do well right away.
	No, but you're a proponent.
	You're saying you're a proponent.
	We have a bet.
	Yeah, I'm a big proponent of a driverless car.
	But I don't think it's going to go as well as they'd hoped.
	Because for one thing, the first thing they want to do is driverless trucks.
	And if there's any group of people that would get a little irked by this, it's the Teamsters.
	And these guys are tough cookies.
	Yeah, of course.
	And they don't want a bunch of driverless trucks on the road.
	And I've also said that you're not going to get every state to agree on allowing driverless cars.
	And all you need is just a vertical line of states right down the gut, right up the middle, South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, just right down probably to Texas.
	But you don't even need Texas.
	You could leave Texas out because no one's going to drive through Texas anyway.
	Yeah.
	And that takes care of the coast-to-coast.
	Oh, the coast-to-coast.
	You're going to have driverless trucks going coast-to-coast.
	You can't go coast-to-coast if you have to get out and stop the damage.
	But, John, let me just stop you right here.
	Let me just stop you right here.
	Because this conversation about things like this, and I'll equate it pretty much to a disappointment from the Google I.O. keynote where nowhere did anyone promise me that my refrigerator would...
	Order milk when I was out of milk.
	I've been waiting for that for 25 years.
	That has been the promise.
	It seems like such an easy one.
	But we have been psychologically indoctrinated to believe that this is all a good thing.
	Oh, I'm so hot and horny for the driverless car, for the driverless truck.
	Why do we want to put human beings out of business?
	And this is why we hear the universal basic income.
	UBI, you're going to hear more and more of this as we start to take away jobs from human beings who are actually pretty good at it.
	My biggest pet peeve is this damn ass iPads in restaurants where you no longer have a server.
	In Texas, I believe they make $2.04 an hour and the rest they make on tips.
	And they're hustling and they're good and they're attentive and it's a part of the vibe and it's nice.
	I don't want all this technology.
	It's just a horny, it's a horndog thing.
	Like, oh, it's so cool.
	But ultimately, those of you listening, when your kids can't get part-time jobs because it's all been roboticized or automated, then what?
	Hey, kid, congratulations.
	You're 18.
	Here's your universal basic income.
	Have a nice life.
	Why?
	Why are we so obsessed with making all this happen?
	Why does no one stop?
	Well, you're talking to the wrong guy.
	Because I'm not.
	No, but you can help with some insight as to why you think, what is this obsession?
	I think it's brainwashing.
	But...
	Just fascination.
	People like shiny objects.
	And this is the gizmos of the day.
	Oh, look!
	That's why some people buy, you know, the Apple Watch.
	I can't, like, either one of us would never in a million years buy something stupid.
	Never!
	That would be so incredibly dumb.
	It's unbelievable.
	But back to my point, which was that this isn't going to happen as fast as everybody liked to think, because what got me triggered was they said, oh, it's going to be by 2020, we're going to have these driverless cars all over the place, and maybe it will be a couple.
	But that's not going to be the case with these driverless trucks that they're going to go coast to coast or whatever.
	And here's my clip.
	This is what goes on in most normal societies, I believe, even though we always make fun of the French because they don't put up with anything.
	Oh yes, I have a clip of this too.
	And here they are, Paris strikes.
	In France, as many as 220,000 people took to the streets across the country to protest labor reforms backed by President Francois Hollande.
	The measures would cut overtime pay for truck drivers and make it easier for companies to fire people.
	On Tuesday, truck drivers blockaded roads, police fired tear gas and water cannons, and 87 people were arrested.
	Arlette Paré joined the protests in Paris.
	Yeah, they don't mess around there in France.
	Exactly right.
	Hell yeah.
	Here we are.
	More clashes if we're just talking about Euroland.
	Greece, Idomeni, where the border has been cut off.
	We've been tracking this for a couple months now.
	There have been more violent clashes overnight between police and migrants in the tent city that has been created on Greece's northern border with the former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia.
	The incidents began earlier on Wednesday evening when hundreds of migrants ran towards a police block, pushing a train wagon to break through to the other side.
	The camp at Edamene is housing around 11,000 people who want to reach the more prosperous EU regions.
	But since Macedonia closed its border, the pressure cooker environment has triggered regular unrest.
	Of course, we're kind of moving away from tech news, so I'll bring it back with the Facebook meeting that was held up at Facebook's.
	At Facebook headquarters, CEO Mark Zuckerberg is meeting as many as 15 leading conservatives today, including former Republican Senator Jim DeMint, Barry Bennett, a senior Trump advisor, and commentator Glenn Beck.
	I just want to listen.
	I want to look Mark Zuckerberg in the eye and get a gauge of him as a man.
	Oh, you're so uber there, Glenn Beck.
	And see, is he telling the truth?
	Oh, yes.
	Zuckerberg says he called the meeting to have a direct conversation about what Facebook stands for.
	It's a response to accusations made on the tech news site Gizmodo by anonymous former Facebook workers.
	They claim editors of the website's trending section routinely blocked conservative issues.
	Zuckerberg wrote, we have found no evidence that this report is true.
	Then that kind of follows on the supposed meeting that happened at Apple.
	We didn't talk about that when it came out.
	That apparently they invited the big podcast networks to come and have a chat.
	Oh yeah, the big podcasters were all invited but us.
	I don't even know if this is true.
	I don't.
	I really don't.
	I mean, I know those guys.
	I mean, they come to Austin, we have dinner, we chat.
	I'm sure they don't, there's nothing they can do with me or you or the show.
	Not really.
	You know, they were kind to give us our 8th anniversary artwork, but even that was kind of a fun experience.
	Yeah.
	But if that's truly what, well, first of all, morons, you cannot monetize the network.
	Stop it.
	You're wasting money.
	Wasting money is a theme.
	Are we done with tech news?
	Well, let's see.
	What are the tech news?
	This is the way tech news should be.
	It's like, what's going on?
	I don't know.
	There really isn't that much going on.
	No, I think there's nothing else.
	I think I just wanted to get the Google I.O. conference, which was done, surprisingly, at the Shoreline Amphitheater.
	Yeah, that was odd.
	It made it look more like a kind of a Nuremberg thing.
	Did they take over the old SGI offices?
	Isn't that up there?
	Well, this is in Mountain View, which is where their headquarters are.
	Right, but my question was, is the headquarter today?
	I don't know that they did that.
	Maybe.
	I know they have a lot of office space and a lot of people working.
	Who knows what they're doing?
	Well, you know, the opportunity is there.
	The opportunity is there.
	There's a free and open web for as long as it lasts.
	Use it.
	Oh, you can see this is not going to last much longer.
	Well, that's all part of HTTPS, and already we're seeing error messages coming back from my SMTP server when talking to Google.
	We're going to get shut out.
	Eventually.
	Enjoy while it lasts, folks.
	Well, yes, exactly.
	Hail Apple!
	iPhone, my phone!
	All righty.
	Tech news for everybody.
	Not for the tech horny.
	It's just the tech news that really brings you the news about technology.
	All right.
	Next.
	All right.
	We have...
	Go ahead.
	I thought this was a good...
	This is against CBS, so it's the propaganda headquarters for the...
	Government.
	Yeah.
	And so I don't know what the point of this story was.
	It was a quickie.
	I think it was one of those messaging thing.
	You put this in there.
	You should send this little thing here and here.
	Listen to this.
	And it's probably coded in some way the way it's presented that lets somebody know that you can do this or you can do that.
	Maybe it has to do with investments.
	I have no idea.
	But I thought this was a very peculiar story that show up only on CBS that I could tell.
	I didn't see it on any of the other networks.
	And this is the frankenfood story.
	Yeah.
	In a much-awaited report today, the National Academy of Sciences said that genetically modified food is generally safe for humans and the environment.
	Tinkering with genetics does not turn crops into frankenfood, as some had claimed.
	At the same time, the report says that GMOs have not led to higher yields, which was one of their selling points.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	So what is the point of this?
	They're doing that all wrong.
	I mean, I see there's a market for actually calling something frankenfood.
	Well, I thought I was going to do a book called frankenfood.
	You can do frankenfood.
	I don't think they're doing this all wrong because I think this is a coded message and they're probably doing it all right.
	But we have no idea what the point of it is.
	It's a bullshit report, let's face it.
	Yeah, for sure.
	So, in other words, if you genetically modify, this is my example, you genetically modify a salmon that grows twice as fast.
	You're just talking about fruit in that story, but there's animals too involved.
	You genetically modify a salmon that grows twice as fast as normal and just, you know, doesn't eat as much, but he eats a lot more, and he gets into the wild.
	Yeah.
	So he's eating everything.
	He's eating all the other salmon breeds.
	Spews his spawn.
	Exactly.
	Done.
	This is not good.
	No.
	And they don't talk about how these seeds from these crazy plants that maybe live one generation or two, maybe they go two or three and then they die off or you get sued.
	If you grow these things without having a license, you have to have a license to grow a seed.
	And these things scatter their pollen all over the place and then they sue the neighboring farmers for growing this.
	Again, John, it's industrial society and its future.
	This is all well documented what is going to happen.
	It's just what it is.
	And we will be around for enough of it to be very old and going, Ah, see, I told you so!
	When I was a kid!
	I told you so!
	When we were podcasters, we warned you of this!
	We missed an important date, which I did not see on the calendar.
	It just cropped up all of a sudden.
	And the coincidence of this being proclaimed by presidential proclamation just around the North Carolina bathroom bill and other bathroom bills determining where you can drop a deuce.
	Now, all of a sudden, it was International Anti-Homophobe Transphobia Biphobia Day.
	Yeah, it was just a couple days ago.
	What happened to Queerphobia?
	I don't know, biphobia, maybe.
	I have no idea how they name it.
	Well, again, I think it's limiting.
	This is not including everybody.
	How about non-binary day?
	How about cisgendered?
	Well, anyway, I did not catch the President speaking about this too much, but word got out, and luckily we have the United States Ambassador to Australia, his name is John Barry, and he delivered the message to our friends down under.
	Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said it best when she said gay rights are human rights, and human rights are universal.
	There is no excuse for discrimination or harassment against the LGBT community anywhere.
	On this International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, I commend all efforts by LGBT persons and our straight allies to secure basic rights and freedoms for everyone.
	Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are rights for all.
	Nice!
	Well, at least we celebrated.
	We celebrated a little bit.
	So while you're on the topic...
	Of rights for everybody and how everything's hunky-dory.
	So underneath the Gilman...
	People live in the San Francisco Bay Area, Berkeley.
	There's a bunch of these, by the way.
	These Hoovervilles or Obamavilles or whatever you want to call them.
	Advertising.
	There's one underneath the Gilman underpass.
	It was there before and then they cleared it out.
	I want to get there and take some photos.
	It is a huge Calais-like encampment of homeless people.
	No.
	And they're underneath the overpass, and they're on both sides, and they're packed.
	And where is this again?
	In Berkeley.
	Wall-to-wall, and then their overflow goes off the other corners.
	Stop, I need to ask you a few questions.
	So, what area is the main camp?
	Where is it?
	Is it near the bus station?
	Well, there could be main camps elsewhere.
	No, there's no public transportation around there.
	It's near the horse track.
	Okay.
	And are they using tents, cardboard boxes?
	Tents.
	Yes, tents.
	And how many do you think there are?
	Hundreds?
	Well, let's see.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10.
	But no, it's about 50.
	50.
	Well, that's quite a lot.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Yeah, and they're just there, and they rotate through in the corner, because if you get off on the Gilman exit on Highway 80 after bumping into a bunch of potholes on this road, you get off into this pothole-ridden exit, and then you get to the end, and if you want to take a left turn, which takes you right through the encampment, there's always one guy in the corner, and it seems they rotate the one guy with the same sign, you know, need money, or whatever it says.
	Michael Moore released a new documentary, which I guess I heard about it, but it came out pretty quick.
	It's called Where to Invade Next.
	Have you had a chance to look at this?
	No, I'd never even heard of it.
	Yeah, it's on Netflix, or maybe it's Amazon, maybe both.
	It's worth watching.
	What he does, it's kind of a...
	I don't really like Michael Moore that much, but I like...
	He is a blowhard.
	I like what he did.
	He had this premise of, I'm invading all these other countries, and I'm stealing all their good ideas.
	Which turned out to be pretty much all-American ideas in the first place.
	That's what's interesting.
	And it winds up in Finland.
	And this was my favorite part.
	And it really was quite touching when you see how the Finns deal with school.
	Of course, no homework.
	There's probably half the amount of hours that children go to school.
	And lunchtime is considered a class.
	So it's an hour long.
	And they determine these menus.
	And there's chefs cooking it up on site.
	And it really teaches the children how to appreciate healthy food and to understand what it is.
	And then there's one sequence.
	And these kids are eating, you know, four-course meals, really just beautifully prepared, you know, just really...
	And not like Finnish glop would I... You know, it's more like a French cuisine.
	And at a certain point, then they show these kids pictures from...
	I guess one of Michael Moore's friends, her kids, what they were eating at lunchtime.
	And they showed this slop.
	It's just absolutely...
	And those kids were like, I can't even...
	What is that?
	Is that even food?
	They couldn't identify it.
	Now, of course, it's entirely...
	It's completely slanted.
	You know, talking about how great...
	Yeah, of course, it's such a rig.
	I mean, you know, Norway is so great, but, you know, neglects to mention Anders Breivik, who, you know, killed 80 kids.
	They're not all safe and fantastic.
	But...
	The overall premise that a lot of these ideas were ideas that were in place in the United States for decades, if not longer, but in the past 20 years have been undone primarily because of profit.
	Profit on the schools, profit on the prison system, just all profit, profit, profit.
	And that's what I liked about the documentary.
	That was my takeaway is, hey, we had a lot of this.
	But we just let the commercial interest take over with complete disregard, which is what businesses do.
	They don't really care.
	They just want to make money.
	So I'd advise watching it.
	It was pretty good, along with Brexit the movie, which I don't think you've seen either, otherwise you would have mentioned it.
	No, I've got to see this, dammit.
	Yeah, you really do.
	You really do.
	Where did you find it again?
	Is it on Netflix?
	It's online.
	It's on YouTube.
	Yeah, brexitthemovie.com.
	Also completely slanted because it's the Leave campaign that put it together, but also good information.
	Well, they're doing everything they can to stop the, you know, to propagandize against the Leave campaign.
	I posted something on Twitter.
	I can't remember what it was, but there's another one.
	This is a quote I may have talked about on the last show.
	If Britain leaves the single Martin, Britain may be forced out of the open skies regime and airfares and the cost of holidays will rise.
	Oh, boy.
	Oh, yeah.
	And then when you read this article on the BBC, of course, BBC is all for the state.
	And it's like, it's sickening to watch these guys.
	But they go on and on and they talk about the open skies and who's in it.
	And it turns out that, you know, Morocco and every crazy country in the world is in this process so they don't have to deal with being too complicated to get in the land, to get landing rights in these countries.
	But for some reason, if Britain leaves...
	They'll somehow be ousted from the Open Skies Agreement.
	Yeah, sure, sure.
	And airfares will rise.
	People will believe anything.
	They'll believe anything.
	And then a follow-up from the show where we talked about the dinner with the professor and his wife.
	And, of course, she had said, hey, you know, I like the bone marrow.
	You're just a pussy for thinking it was too icky to eat.
	Yeah, she said you are a wimp.
	Pussy.
	I think she used the word pussy.
	But this, of course, was the episode we talked about the P numbers, which is the fudge factor in which now has put the field of psychology into crisis because every single study that comes out has manipulated the P numbers to an extreme.
	And so the professor heard us talking about this, and of course I said, well, you know, when I brought up climate change, could the P numbers be manipulated there?
	He said, well, you know, that's not my field of expertise.
	But we also talked about SSRIs, and he came back and he said, the science behind psychiatric drugs is so bad, you have no idea.
	You need to read this book.
	No, it's a book.
	Well, before you go on, let me mention that we've talked, when we were doing all the ads that we would play, and the one for Shantix always cracked me up because it said, in the disclaimers it said, the placebo...
	Did just as well.
	Almost worked just as well.
	Yes.
	But for a professor of psychology to say this, I think is...
	Is pretty harsh.
	And the title of the book, which will be in the show notes, is Psychiatry Under the Influence, Institutional Corruption, Social Injury, and Prescriptions for Reform.
	And that is written by Robert Whitaker.
	And I've started reading it.
	It's actually, interestingly enough, has a forward by Lawrence Lessig, of all people.
	Yeah, well.
	Which didn't make me feel like the book would be great to start with.
	Well, the blurbs are kind of a thing people just do.
	But it's a good book.
	It is a recommended reading, really.
	And it comes recommended from the official brain scientist from the No Agenda show.
	There you go.
	Oh.
	I'm going to show my salute by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	First, we're going to back up and read Jay Anonymous' note from the producer's list.
	Ah, good, you found it.
	Perfect.
	Because he does have a couple of requests for sound effects.
	Okay.
	After being on some financially shaky ground at the start of this year, I could go no longer without donating to the show.
	I often felt guilty about not providing enough value for value, especially since no agenda is my primary source for media and the resulting shenanigans.
	The insight and analysis YouTube provide has no equal!
	As far as producers complaining about your Trump coverage, they deserve the calm down followed by crazy scream jingle.
	Okay, so he was requesting calm down and the crazy scream.
	The American media has been pushing anti-Trump non-stop, and that deserves deconstruction, especially when he has thrown a wrench in the primary politics as usual.
	Keep up the great work.
	If I could get you Slaves Mac and Cheese song, followed by the crazy shopping channel guy saying, get it, get it, get it, happy dance.
	Is that something you had?
	Happy, happy dance, get it, happy dance.
	Get it, get it, happy dance.
	Oh, that's the one, right.
	Yeah, that's the one I had recently.
	It was like a few, I don't know, a couple, maybe five shows ago where this guy says, happy dance, happy dance, get it.
	Okay.
	Would it be get it, get it, get it, get it, happy dance?
	Yeah, that's what he's, yeah, get it, get it.
	All right.
	What else do we have?
	Well, then I think you should do the calm down followed by the crazy scream.
	Yeah, I don't see the get it, get it.
	I'm sorry.
	That might have been.
	Would it be an ISO? It might be.
	Ah, yes.
	Okay.
	Yeah, I got it.
	Here we go.
	Calm down.
	Ah!
	You slaves can get used to mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese, mac and cheese, mac and cheese.
	Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it.
	And then I'll have a wonton.
	Happy dance, happy dance.
	Get it, get it, get it.
	All right.
	Woo!
	All right, that's Jay Anonymous.
	And Tigard, Tigard, Tigard.
	Tigard, Tigard.
	I always pronounce it wrong.
	Alright, onward.
	We got a few people who want to thank, starting with Patrick Roddle in San Francisco, California, who donated $140.11.
	That's followed by Carl Johnson in Issaquah, Washington.
	And he donated $100, along with Sir Trevor Mudge, haven't heard from him for a while, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, $100.
	Joseph Harrell in Mayock, North Carolina, or Moyock, probably Moyock.
	100.
	That's good.

	He's bitching about my pronunciation, which he has a right to do.
	He does.
	And justification.

	Okay.
	It's the Ghana guy who, Greg Zachary, a friend of mine, told him not to donate to the show.
	Oh.
	Asshole.
	Asshole.
	Wait a minute.
	So your friend told Alexander...
	Yeah, my friend.
	Some friend.
	...said don't donate to the show, but was there a reasoning behind it?
	No.
	Well, I think you have a new friend, Alexander Salzberger.
	Yeah, well, Salzberger's always just got his act together.

	Oh, by the way, back to the Greg Zachary story.
	After I gave him crap about this, I said, you know, Alexander hasn't been donating ever since you told him not to.
	And he got really guilty.
	This could be actually Greg's money.

	It's the second fiddle to Toronto.
	Yes, it didn't get the big city thing going.

	I want to thank everybody for helping us out and bringing our numbers back up where they belong.
	For this show, we do have another show coming up on Thursday.
	Dvorak.org slash Andy is the place to check out.
	Yes, for those of you who are new and haven't figured it out yet, this program takes no money from anybody except the people who produce it.
	That's why we call them producers.
	And producers help us in many ways, but the financing is, of course, very important to keep it going.
	No advertising money, just supported by the community and the network, the No Agenda Intelligence Network.
	And, of course, we have another show coming up on Sunday.
	Please remember us for that.
	Oh, I hit it.
	It didn't go.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. There we go.
	It's a pretty thing.
	I was hitting on it.
	And we kick it off with a make good for Baroness Janice Kang.
	Hi, Adam and John.
	Here's a donation to commemorate my birthday, May 17th.
	Karma all around.
	Love and light.
	Janice Kang.
	Baroness of the mutton and me.
	We apologize for missing that one.
	Baroness Janice.

	Got it, perfect.
	Thank you very much.
	This was a nice donation brought to Tony by his wife, Kate.
	So, Tony Marengo, come on up to the podium here, please.
	Congratulations with Kate's donation for your knighthood.
	And, of course, I wish you good luck with the procedure that's coming up.
	In the amount of $1,000 or more, this brings you into the round table, and I'm hereby very proud to pronounce to Kate the Sir Tony Marengo, the knight he has always been to Kate.
	And for you, my friend, we have hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay, espresso and hemp milk, sake and sushi, cuddling and yogi and jambo, Medford Chardonnay, Sparkling Cider and Escorts, and of course, Mutton and Mead.

	So after you're out of the hospital, maybe have Kate do it.
	Noagendanation.com slash rings.
	And we can get that to you by the time you're in recovery.
	You never know.
	We certainly appreciate the support of the program.
	I was looking at Euroland a bit.
	Just a couple things happening.
	We have...
	Yes.
	No clip of this, but the Germans are starting to openly oppose mass immigration.
	And Angela is having trouble.
	In fact, she went somewhere.
	She's not even delivering full speeches.
	She's really trying to figure out what's going on.
	But here's the cool thing.
	Here's what Angela Merkel has put together.
	The idea is for Germany to hire up to 100,000 asylum seekers in a new state program for employment of immigrants.
	And this is the cool thing about it.
	They will receive, and they have to work 20 hours, no more no less, 20 hours a week.
	They will receive one euro per hour.
	And this program is now known as the one euro jobs.
	What?
	How did I miss this?
	This is slave labor, man.
	Well, that's what the Germans apparently are good at.
	The program was forged as a means of dealing with the forced inactivity of tens of thousands of migrants living in refugee centers with nothing to do, just awaiting documentation.
	So, I think we just skip the one and just say Euro jobs.
	Because that's what everyone will have eventually.
	It'll just be a Euro job.
	With your UBI. Your universal basic income.
	And you'll get a buck an hour.
	Yeah, you'll get a buck an hour to do something for 20 hours a week.
	I think it's your 20 bucks.
	Yeah, and then what you do is you spend it on having someone else's car drive you everywhere.
	Unbelievable.
	Not unbelievable.
	This is the dumbest.
	The Germans have just screwed this up.
	Merkel screwed the pooch.
	And there's chinks in the armor in the Union.
	Italy is getting tired.
	A council in Italy's northeastern Veneto region is urging its national government to abandon EU international policy and recognize Crimea as being part of Russia.
	A resolution was carried calling for the change and subsequent lifting of economic sanctions against Moscow, which the council says are crippling its economy.
	Stefano Val de Gambari, who is from the Separatist Northern League, says his region has suffered severe damage from the sanctions against Russia.
	Our goods, he says, have been embargoed.
	With this vote, we want to send a strong message to the Italian government and to the European Union to change the policy towards Russia.
	Opposition member Graziano Acelan criticized the vote, saying Veneto is a region and not a sovereign state.
	It cannot decide on foreign policy issues.
	This resolution will have no effect.
	It's just propaganda for the Northern League.
	The Veneto region's economy relies heavily on the export of its glass production.
	Earlier this week, Ukraine's ambassador to Italy criticized the councillors, calling on them to support efforts to achieve the return of Crimea to Ukrainian control.
	Okay.
	People getting tired of it.
	What's the Golden League?
	Oh, isn't that the Ukrainian party?
	Isn't that a new, you have the Golden Dawn and Golden League and Golden Shower or something?
	That doesn't sound right.
	The Golden Showers.
	Book of Knowledge.
	What is the Golden League?
	Sorry, I can't find the answer to the question I heard.
	Oh, that's useless.
	Yeah, Book of Knowledge.
	Wikipedia, Golden League.
	The Golden Baseball League, based in San Ramon, California.
	Stop.
	I'm telling you, it's never going to end well with this technology.
	No, no, no.
	It's just not going to end well.
	Hold on, let me get a look at it by doing some work.
	Well, then I'll play the actual jingle.
	I can't find anything except a soccer team.
	I apologize.
	I should have looked at this myself then, the Golden League.
	Well, I think it slipped by it because I noticed when the guy was rattling it off and he just mentioned Golden League and I'm thinking, what?
	What the hell is the Golden League?
	Okay, we got it.
	We will have this information.
	Apparently, we can't get this information on the fly.
	Not from the book of knowledge.
	Hold on.
	Let me go to Google.it.
	I bet you can get it that way.
	Google.itm?
	What are you doing?
	No, IT. The Italian version of Google.
	Oh, Google.IT. I gotcha.
	Okay.
	Book of Knowledge.
	Italian Political Party, The Golden League.
	Oh, man.
	Hey, but she can still set a timer for me.
	No, I'm still getting nowhere.
	And I'm on Google.IT. Huh.
	Well, this is very...
	IAAF Golden League.
	IAAF Diamond League.
	Wikipedia has got stuff.
	Well, I think...
	Let's just register the domain name, then.
	Hold on.
	No, I think it's already...
	Well, actually, if you looked it up, I'll bet you it's already registered.
	Well, I'm going to do it right now.
	Let me see.
	Should we see Golden League or The Golden League?
	It should be The Golden League.
	I thought it was Golden League.
	Well, let's try Golden League, then.
	Hold on.
	Let's do Golden...
	Yeah, just go GoldenLeague.com.
	Never thought of that idea.
	You never know.
	They're going to Google.
	Hold on.
	Now I'm too late.
	I'm sure people have already done Who Is.
	I just skipped the whole Who Is and go straight to register, but it's probably...
	Maybe it was Northern League.
	I thought I said Golden League.
	Oh, crap.
	Let's listen to it again, then.
	Hold on.
	Where was it?
	Euroland.
	Here we go.
	Let's see if I can spin it to the end of that clip.
	It was more towards the end, right?
	It's kind of in the middle.
	...message to the Italian government and to the European Union to change the policy towards Russia.
	Opposition member Graziano Acelan criticised the vote, saying Veneto is a region and not a sovereign state.
	It cannot decide on foreign policy issues.
	This resolution will have no effect.
	It's just propaganda for the Northern League.
	That's Northern League.
	Yeah, I said Northern League.
	Well, I hear Golden League.
	No, it was Northern League.
	Okay.
	I like Golden League better.
	Golden League's better.
	Yeah, it'd be much better.
	All right.
	I'll pick it up again.
	I get Northern Premier League.
	Northern Premier League.
	It's all about soccer when you go to these leagues.
	That's what the Book of Knowledge told me, too.
	We could do Book of Knowledge, Northern League.
	I wasn't able to understand the question I heard.
	God, I hope the Google Home will be better.
	You're on the ropes, yo.
	Book of Knowledge.
	Wikipedia Northern League.
	The Northern League is a men's football league in Northeastern for semi-professional and amateur teams.
	For details.
	I'm sorry, we're just not going to do that anymore.
	That's really, really bad.
	This was probably the funniest clip.
	Of course, it only turned out to be funny after it happened, after the authorities actually copped to it.
	A fake bomb caused a very real panic today in England.
	Just before Manchester United's Premier League soccer match, police discovered a suspicious package and evacuated the 75,000-seat stadium.
	Players from both teams were taken off the pitch and kept in the locker rooms.
	Bomb experts exploded the device.
	And then they determined it was a dummy that had been left over accidentally from a counterterrorism training exercise.
	Ah!
	I hate it when that happens.
	Nail it.
	That's nailed it.
	Clip of the day.
	Thank you very much.
	Clip of the day.
	Oh, man.
	Actually, I found out later, after I got this clip, that it was an independent contracting firm who had done the exercise, and they're the ones that left it.
	Has anyone heard of counting?
	We got all our bombs?
	I don't know.
	Well, but didn't that happen recently where someone left a fake bomb on a school bus or it slipped into the engine compartment of a school bus?
	I didn't get that story.
	Yeah, I think that we had that as well.
	We've got more fake bombs out there than anything.
	That's an inconvenience to 75,000 people.
	I'll say.
	Definitely.
	Okay, so again, no clips because John Kerry was just too boring to listen to, but now we are supplying the approved government because we signed some accord.
	We didn't, but there was an accord signed, another Geneva accord, and now we have some form of provisional government in Libya.
	And we're arming them.
	This is a huge topic of conversation.
	Yes, we're arming them.
	But we don't know who quite to arm.
	Well, but even more interesting is there is a UN resolution against arming them, and the United States is now saying, hold on a second, this is the official government...
	And it's only official because we just said they're official.
	Because we now recognize them.
	That supersedes your ban, your block on arms trades.
	And by the way, we're backed up over here, yo!
	We gotta unload some of this shizzle on yous.
	Sales, sales, sales!
	It's spring cleaning.
	We gotta get this stuff out.
	I see nothing but brand new tanks roaming around when they show B-roll.
	Humvees, new uniforms, good looking stuff.
	Yeah.
	Good looking stuff, really.
	But it's still B-roll, so it could be anything.
	Same time, we have the largest exercise going on ever in the region of Georgia.
	This is called...
	What is this thing called?
	Ah, Exercise Noble Partner.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that sounds legit.
	Recurring training event takes place near Georgia, obviously the country, which is borders on Russia.
	I think this is probably the closest we've come, bar Ukraine, although that's not official, but probably the closest we've come to ever really doing an exercise in recent memory.
	We're so close to Russia's border.
	Some of the Georgian area is even under dispute.
	Let me see.
	We have on May 4th, the U.S. equipment arrived at the port of Poti.
	And this is the first time the M1A2 main battle tank has been deployed to Georgia as an illustration of the U.S. ability to project power around Russia's periphery.
	500 Jordan, 150 U.K., and 650 U.S. service members.
	Can you imagine what it cost to ship one of those tanks to Georgia?
	It probably cost more than the tank's worth.
	I read a story somewhere that...
	Who was it that created a tank that didn't fit in the transport plane?
	Was that us?
	Sounds like something we did.
	Yeah, but they have to chop it up to transport it.
	They have to take the front off or something to get it into the transport plane.
	Well, nobody thought of that at the time.
	No.
	And what are we doing?
	What's the tanks thing anyway?
	Come on.
	Well, it's provocation.
	It's provocation.
	Yeah, it's total provocation.
	I mean, this is a World War I technology.
	Yes.
	But it looks good.
	It makes people feel war.
	Yeah, it does.
	Oh, and just one other little thing that I'm following up on.
	This North Carolina bathroom law, this just came in just before the show, but I'm going to mention it now and I'll study it for Sunday's show.
	Apparently, it's not even really about bathrooms at all, but in this bill there's a provision that blocks any mandate of a $15 an hour minimum wage.
	What?
	Yes.
	Yes.
	I know.
	I mean, if you want, I can go through it quickly with you.
	I just haven't really done all the business myself, all the research.
	I'd rather save it for Sunday.
	Okay.
	Jeez.
	And I think this was a story that I picked up in the Washington Post.
	So, yeah, I'll find out exactly what the provision is.
	Alright, well, I've got to...
	That would make nothing but sense, you know, try and get that through.
	Yeah, slip something onto the side.
	Yeah, it's horrible.
	What difference does it make to them?
	At this point.
	They're cheap bastards.
	Who are they representing?
	They're not representing the public.
	No.
	There's no way they're representing the public.
	And of course, half the public's all bought into this.
	You know, it's going to be bad because there's a deal between me and the employee.
	I can give them a buck if I want.
	Kind of bull crap.
	It's just like nonsense.
	And besides, as I said on the show before, the minimum wage should be $30.
	Yes.
	I got a picture message from a dude named Ben in Vietnam in Arkansas.
	And he sent me a picture of the Twin Peaks bathroom.
	So there's two bathrooms, and one sign says, stand up to pee, and the other one says, sit down to pee.
	That would be a...
	That seems like a good...
	That seems like a workable.
	That's a solution.
	It's just, hey, you have a stand-up pee bathroom and a sit-down pee bathroom.
	Yeah, there you go.
	That's a fantastic idea.
	So I want to get your opinion on this situation that just occurred with Robin.
	What's her name?
	That was on the...
	House of Cards.
	What happened?
	She won a lawsuit that she did behind the scenes, which means she'll probably never work again.
	What's her name again?
	Robin Wright.
	Robin Wright.
	Robin Wright sued for equal pay.
	Oh, I didn't hear about that.
	I'll play this story and then a couple of little tidbits you need to know, but let's play this story.
	Equal pay for actresses.
	She took a page right out of her character Claire Underwood's book.
	Tuesday night, Wright told an audience at a Rockefeller Foundation event just how she negotiated a pay raise.
	I was looking at statistics and Claire Underwood's character was more popular than his for a period of time and a season.
	So I capitalized on that moment.
	And I was like, you better pay me or I'm going to go public.
	And they did.
	Actress Patricia Arquette raised the issue of pay inequity at last year's Oscars.
	It's our time to have wage equality once and for all and equal rights for women in the United States of America.
	Jennifer Lawrence talked to Charlie Rose about making less in the film American Hustle.
	I feel uncomfortable asking for more money.
	I don't want to seem like a brat.
	I don't want to seem like all of these things that are only words that are used for women.
	Wright, who has won a Golden Globe for her role in House of Cards, says gender should not determine value.
	It has to be unacceptable at this stage.
	A publicist for Kevin Spacey told us today, Kevin thinks it's amazing and well-deserved.
	He's honored to be a part of a show that supports equal pay for women.
	Anthony, a spokesperson for Netflix, says they have no comment regarding right statements, but of course she got what she wanted.
	She did, Jerika.
	Thanks.
	Wow.
	Let me just say...
	Bullshit!
	A couple things.
	Oh my god.
	First of all, let's start with the pay so we get that out of the way.
	And it's for some reason not reported in this story.
	Well, there's a couple things not reported in this story, but go on.
	There's a lot of stuff not reported in this story.
	I find this story to be...
	It's a lie.
	It's very simple to prove that it's a lie.
	But I want you to take me through your questions.
	Okay.
	A couple of things.
	One, Kevin Spacey, who's now so happy...
	I thought it was a genius for putting that quote in since he's an executive producer and probably owns the show.
	Yeah, he owns a big piece, sure.
	So he could do whatever he wants.
	He wants to give her more money.
	He could have done that way before she supposedly sued.
	The difference in price between her and Kevin Spacey was Kevin Spacey was making $500,000 a show.
	She was making $435,000 a show.
	So she's making over $400,000 a show.
	Not enough money.
	Okay, that's a day's work.
	Now, the value of an actor or an actress, this is not an equal employment issue.
	That's where I need to stop you.
	I need to stop you for one second.
	Every actor in the United States who works is a member by, I think, even by law, Of the either Screen Actors Guild or AFTRA, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.
	And they've now merged together into SAG-AFTRA. There is a complete, absolute, equal payment scheme that has been in place for years for every actor.
	I don't think the word actress is probably not even used.
	And that is when you work at scale.
	And that is completely fair.
	So anything you can make over that depends on completely, you know, maybe Kevin Spacey's boning some other executive producer.
	He bones other guys in the show.
	Who knows what's going on?
	But that has nothing to do with equal employment.
	This is one of the best regulated industries there is for equal pay.
	I agree.
	And generally speaking, when you get this larger money than this scale, it's because you can attract a crowd.
	Yeah, I think Spacey attracts more crowd than Robin Wright.
	Maybe not, but that's subjective.
	To me, it's very much like sports.
	Some people bring people, a person comes, he's like a baseball player, and he attracts a crowd that stands to get more people.
	The amount of people to go watch this guy, just one guy brings in more money than they pay him.
	It brings in millions of extra dollars.
	I mean, it's the same thing you have in all these sports, and sometimes you have this moment of inequality because somebody stupidly signed a long-term contract, they shouldn't have, and they have to get renegotiated.
	This is not working in a factory doing the same job.
	This is not secretarial work.
	No, this is actual unionized work, the same people who always fight for equal pay.
	Yeah, and it's unionized.
	That's another good point.
	It's unionized.
	So this is nonsense.
	And sure, maybe she sued for some.
	I don't know what she's thinking.
	But I'm telling you, this is a good way to not get work.
	Eh, possibly.
	James Garner sued his producers for one time getting screwed.
	He got screwed out of a whole bunch of money that he didn't pay for a popular show.
	It was Rockwell Files or whatever it is.
	Rockford Files, yeah.
	He got screwed and he sued and he won and you never saw him again ever.
	It was the end of his career.
	So, I don't know.
	I just thought the story was nonsense and it was obviously just promoting Hillary.
	Yeah.
	That's the way I see it.
	I guarantee Robin Wright is a Hillary supporter.
	Oh, I'm sure she is.
	I will say I really love how the Democrats are fighting amongst each other.
	Whether spurred on by Trump or not, it's just beautiful.
	Didn't take much.
	Not at all.
	Not at all.
	And there is anger.
	There's real anger by people who actually think that these primaries are democracy.
	This is the low-hanging fruit of understanding that we're all slaves.
	It's the low-hanging fruit.
	Speaking of which, I started watching that show, what is it called?
	The British show is brand new on Amazon, I think, about people have synths.
	You have a synthetic person, a robot around your house.
	No.
	Yeah, the first episode by itself was really good.
	Well, that's unusual.
	Amazon.
	Exactly.
	What was British?
	And also, it's done in England, so...
	No, it's probably some prediction over there.
	I'll take the final...
	the final what's it called by the way oh hmm Amazon's I really don't know.
	Okay, never mind.
	I figured it out.
	I'll get it in a second.
	Hold on.
	Hey, you know who would know?
	The Book of Knowledge would know.
	Ask.
	What is the TV series about synths on Amazon Prime?
	Sorry, I didn't understand the question.
	This is an Amazon device!
	It should know what Amazon is on Amazon Prime.
	It's so pathetic.
	Maybe when it rains, it doesn't work as well or something.
	Is it just maybe starting to fail?
	Maybe you think this thing was just, they had real people at the other end for a long time faking it?
	Could be answering on the...
	Maybe no one in India is standing by to answer my questions.
	Yeah, I think a lot of this just goes to India, and then they type it in, and then the synthetic voice says it.
	I'm sorry, I'd do it.
	And interestingly, I'm trying to connect to Google to...
	To conduct a search, but I can't even connect to Google.
	What is going on?
	Maybe I can't connect to anything.
	Well, maybe your internet's down.
	You're not even talking to me.
	I don't know who I'm hearing, but I'll just keep going.
	Oh, here we go.
	Bing.
	Let's see.
	That's a DNS issue, it looked like.
	Nope, can't find it.
	Okay, well that was really good, yeah.
	Amazon Prime.
	I'm pissed off a series about synths.
	Come on, stupid morons.
	Here we go.
	It's called Synth.
	Oh, well there you have it.
	You should have remembered that.
	I think it's called Synth.
	Oh, now you don't know.
	You're changing it.
	This is a terrible segment.
	This is the worst segment you've ever had.
	Oh, no, I know.
	It's called Humans.
	There we go.
	It's called Humans?
	It's called Humans, yes.
	And it's about synths?
	Yes.
	It's called...
	That makes sense.
	Because they revolt, obviously.
	I should have been able to guess.
	The synths revolt?
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Because they're slaves.
	But it's all about singularity.
	So they've taken these dead people.
	I think that's what's going to happen.
	I've heard enough.
	Alright, then I will play you my final clip.
	This is President Obama at Rutgers once again, not talking very inspirationally to the children to send them out into the world as they have now graduated from a prestigious school.
	No, no, no.
	Let's just talk more politics.
	Think about the climate change issue.
	Every day, there are officials in high office...
	With responsibilities who mock the overwhelming consensus of the world's scientists that human activities and the release of carbon dioxide and other substances are altering our...
	I love that substances.
	What?
	What other?
	Carbon dioxide and what?
	What other substances?
	Soot.
	Maybe he meant soot, Josh.
	Soot.
	Soot.
	Carbon dioxide and other...
	Substances are altering our climate in profound and dangerous ways.
	A while back, you may have seen a United States senator trotted out a snowball during a floor speech in the middle of winter as proof that the world was not warming.
	I mean, listen, climate change is not something subject to political spin.
	There is evidence.
	There are facts.
	We can see it happening right now.
	If we don't act, if we don't roll, if we don't follow through on the progress we made in Paris, the progress we've been making here at home, your generation will feel the brunt of this catastrophe.
	You might die.
	Yeah.
	Holy crap, that's terrible.
	I know.
	That's Clip of the Day, but I already gave it to you, so I'm not giving it to you again.
	But give yourself a borderline, my God.
	It's just rude, really.
	It's just rude.
	Drugs.
	Okay, we'll call it whatever you want.
	Hi there, buddy.
	Is there anything I need to watch today?
	No, it's just Thursday.
	There's nothing special going on, is there?
	There's nothing going on until Sunday.
	Okay.
	Dino-mite.
	Oh, and if you get a chance, it sees Hall& Oates on tour.
	We saw him, uh...
	Oh, you saw Hall& Oates?
	Yeah, uh...
	Tuesday night.
	Yeah, here in Austin.
	They're still good.
	I think it's a pretty good tour.
	It's a great tour.
	Great show.
	I never liked Hall and Oates that much to begin with.
	You know, Daryl Hall, he has it, man.
	A guy has it.
	John Oates isn't even going to show up.
	Just put a cutout on stage, as far as I'm concerned.
	A small cutout.
	What does Hall do that's so special?
	He carries the whole show.
	He sings.
	He's carrying the show.
	Okay.
	It's a good show.
	Yeah, I won't be seen.
	I'm sure.
	All right, everybody, we will be back on Sunday.
	Please remember us at dvorak.org slash NA for your contributions to keep us rolling.
	And coming to you from the skyscraper in the Crackpot Condo, to be exact, in downtown Austin, Tejas, FEMA Region 6.
	From here I say, good morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley where, I don't know, it looks like a pretty nice day again in northern California.
	I'm John C. Devorak.
	We'll be back on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
	Adios, mofos.
	Welcome to the White House, everybody.
	Thank you.
	We're going to have some friends come up here and play with us.
	President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden!
	Hey!
	Hello, everybody!
	Hey, hey, hey!
	Hey!
	This is a rowdy crowd.
	I don't want you guys to break anything while you're here now.
	Listen, you're in my house.
	Thank you!
	Thank you!
	How sweet the sound that saved a wretch by me.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	You can either stay and be quiet or we'll have to take you out.
	Predator jokes.
	No?
	You will never see it coming.
	All right.
	Can we have this person removed, please?
	Okay.
	You know what?
	Okay.
	Where was I? Thank you!
	Sing great, how sweet the sound.
	You're in my house.
	Sing great, how sweet the sound.
	Sing great, how sweet the sound.
	Well, I'll see you again soon.
	You kind of screwed up Miami, but that's okay.
	Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama!
	Thank you.
	God bless you.
	Obama! Obama! Obama! Obama!
	Let me begin by thanking you for your courage.
	Is that ten times what you normally get?
	It's about ten times what we normally get.
	How about a parasite baby?
	How about a bloodsucker baby?
	How about a vampire baby?
	How about a freeloader, baby?
	Hillary Clinton.
	I'm Hillary Clinton, and I approve this message.
