	You might have your furry friend microchip.
	Why not your children?
	Adam Couric, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, May 26, 2016 time once again for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 828.
	This is No Agenda.
	Making mush out of the Mandela effect and broadcasting live from the capital of the drone, Star State here in FEMA Region 6, Austin, Texas.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, I asked the question, did he say ants?
	It's Thursday?
	I'm John Steve Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
	Who said ants?
	I didn't say ants.
	You said ants.
	It's Thursday.
	No.
	I said it's Thursday.
	I said ants.
	It's Thursday.
	It was one of those WNBC. I think it was ants.
	Okay.
	The ants are creeping into the show.
	I think you're right.
	You're right.
	You're right.
	Well...
	We got a phone call this morning, first thing, before this show.
	The garbage will be picked up late today.
	This is a message.
	Thank you.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	It's like a school closure.
	Why is that?
	Why will it be picked up late?
	I don't know.
	They picked up the garbage early.
	They say it's going to be picked up late.
	I think they do this to confuse the public.
	They say it's going to be picked up late and then they pick it up early?
	Is that what you just told me?
	Yes, that's what I just told you.
	Oh, that's great.
	That's fantastic.
	Okay.
	Oh, I didn't load your clips up yet.
	I can do that real quick.
	Well?
	Yes.
	Well, since I'm loading up your clips...
	I'm just saying you're local.
	It's raining.
	There's storms.
	There's fantastic people who don't live in the United States.
	They probably haven't watched any news.
	It's unbelievably beautiful tornadoes.
	A storm in America is always great.
	Yeah, it's something to see.
	Particularly if you're not in it.
	It's something to see.
	I mean, these funnel clouds.
	I mean, it's insane.
	Now, Texas is not so bad.
	But Tornado Chaser, they had three of them on the ground at the same time.
	They're looking around.
	These guys have got a lot of nerve.
	They had one, they were showing this one on one of the networks, because these guys, these tornado chasers, storm chasers, they sell this footage.
	Oh yeah, it's a real business.
	It's a business.
	They had one, they showed it, and then they did an overlay.
	The funnel cloud, the size of the cloud coming down, the tornado, was one mile wide.
	It was incredible.
	At the same time, though, we have had a record 127 straight months with no hurricanes.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, hurricanes.
	127 straight months, and man, were we promised some doozies.
	Yeah, we're promised nothing but hurricanes and all we've got.
	We were promised these hurricanes and all we've got was these lots of tornadoes.
	That's a t-shirt waiting to happen, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	So you're in the middle of it, kind of.
	You're off to the side, I guess.
	Yeah, and we're only getting rain.
	We don't really get tornadoes here.
	Particularly hill country.
	No, it's not going to happen here.
	But it's wet.
	Is it just raining and raining, or what?
	No, it's been gray for the past four days.
	Just completely gray, and then it rains, and it's just gray.
	And meanwhile, it's 85 degrees, so it's not very comfortable outside.
	Oh, that's terrible.
	Well, when they show the maps on the TV, they show, you know, this is a huge swath, as if everyone's getting killed, and you're in the swath, but...
	Yes.
	We're all gonna die!
	I can't imagine Austin ever getting that whacked.
	A lot of people don't know about this, but there was a tornado that hit Fort Worth some years ago.
	And it damaged one of the major buildings in the middle of downtown.
	And it twisted it or something.
	This is before I lived here, so this must be a long time ago.
	Yes, it's a while back.
	Maybe 10 years ago or more.
	Somebody's going to have to straighten me out on this story because I'm slowly losing the accuracy of this story.
	Your mind.
	That too.
	So this building is right in the middle of downtown so they twisted this building and it ruined the building to such an extent that it couldn't be occupied so it stopped being occupied but because it was damaged in a funny way they can't destroy it.
	They can't bring the building down because they don't know where it's going to fall.
	Nobody's been able to What?
	They don't know.
	Oh, because it's so twisted?
	That's why?
	Yeah.
	Somebody in Fort Worth can straighten me out on the story.
	You know what the obvious answer is?
	Just fly an airplane into it.
	It falls straight down onto itself.
	Yeah, there you go.
	That's the way to go.
	Now the recycling guys are here.
	It's actually early.
	Hey, let me catch everybody up on...
	I'm still looking into the MS-804 Egypt Air flight, which is, to coin a phrase, pun intended, has dropped off the mainstream radar because, I don't know, they haven't found a plane.
	They keep showing the same, you know, tattered clothing over and over again with the untattered, pristine life jacket from Egypt Air.
	I should mention that since I'm back on the 3x3.
	Although I accept NBC. I've kind of moved them aside for Deutsche Welle.
	There was no news reports in the last couple of days on this thing.
	No, and I believe it's multiple fold.
	Let's recall that when we had the clip, when this first happened, sources inside the government, the United States government, said, oh, it was a bomb.
	That was before, and this was the first day they were already saying this.
	Of course, they were unnamed sources, but I doubt that CNN is making that up.
	Someone told them to say that.
	And now I'm pretty sure they're telling them to shut up.
	We have nothing.
	Shut up.
	Go away.
	There's nothing to see here.
	You remember when CNN went insane with NH, was it 307?
	Was it 307?
	372?
	372.
	numbers for almost a year.
	They talked about that aircraft.
	That's right.
	That was that story was.
	So why?
	Why on Saturday Night Live for being an endless story?
	It had no.
	Now, I understand they have elections to cover as well, but it really faded to black quite quickly.
	And Richard Quest is, you know, he he's got work.
	He needs work.
	He's got to do stuff.
	I mean, he's around.
	He can fill a slot at least once an hour with an update.
	The plane is not found.
	The black boxes are not...
	No one's heard a ping yet.
	And they don't really seem very enthusiastic about finding the plane because they're not trailing ping receivers.
	They're sending little submersibles down.
	It's a completely different operation than the previous one.
	Ah, spaffling.
	I just noticed it too.
	Just nothing.
	They don't even have a follow-up.
	Because I guess there's nothing to say.
	Well, but CNN went on for a year when they couldn't find the plane.
	We have not found this plane.
	Somebody had to tell them to stop.
	So here, yeah.
	Here are the headlines.
	Breaking!
	The captain of Flight MS-804 is a Muslim linked to major Muslim terrorists involved in killing Americans in Benghazi.
	Okay.
	Sure.
	Yeah.
	That makes sense.
	Yeah.
	A captain on an airline is also out there floating around in the streets.
	Well, here is the irritating thing.
	There was indeed an exercise going on in that very region during the days that that flight flew there.
	Now, it still doesn't really explain why they haven't found any wreckage.
	Because even if you saw what MH17 looked like, and I believe that was an air-to-air shoot-down, not a Buk missile.
	But there are big chunks of it.
	And, yeah, it's very deep.
	But, you know, something is not right.
	They're not trailing for pings.
	The props brings out the orange box again.
	Oh, put it in the middle of the table.
	Let's talk about it.
	Well, the battery has 30 days to live with the fuck.
	I'm sick and tired of you people.
	Because I have to sit here and watch it to see if there's anything.
	So there's really nothing.
	Let's see, I had maybe...
	What about when you go to the pilot forums?
	Oh, the pilot forums?
	Well, there's a lot of...
	That's where I am, mainly.
	You know, the pilot forums, because there's no requirement to be a pilot to get in there, they suck.
	And there's journalists trolling all the time.
	Hey, did anybody know what happened?
	Did anybody have an audio?
	Blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Yeah, so it's pretty useless.
	You know, a lot of Airbus captains, you know, pontificating about how much better they are than 787s, 737s.
	Yeah, but, you know, all I can say is, why did we stop covering this?
	This makes no sense.
	It's a great story.
	People love a missing plane.
	People love a missing plane.
	Come on, they proved it.
	You could hype that up.
	Maybe it's just because of the election coverage, but I don't know.
	I don't think so.
	Election coverage was going on during the, and it was better, when the plane first disappeared.
	I mean, the one thing, if you look at the network news, they're not really, election coverage is there.
	It's not bumping that sort of news.
	What's bumping everything is these tornadoes.
	Yeah, that's true.
	The tornadoes, because the tornadoes are also very picturesque.
	Hmm.
	They're fun to look at.
	No, it's scary.
	I'm seeing a house blow up right in front of me, this guy yells.
	Yeah, people love that.
	They love that.
	Okay.
	Sadly, I just don't have any more other than the...
	That's fine.
	And also, everyone's really quiet right now.
	You know, just no one's really saying anything.
	It's a holiday coming up.
	Oh, okay.
	We got no time for this crap.
	You know, speaking of which, let me just, just to get us into the swing here.
	And I want people who listen to this show, who are producers, to do some producing and look out for your local news that have packages.
	And we've talked about this many times.
	You'll notice it immediately because it'll have an intro from your local news.
	Well, here's how, here's the format.
	In the studio, lead in, toss to someone on the street somewhere, just on the street randomly, just as long as they're on the street.
	They don't have to be in front and behind anything, just on the street.
	They'll set it up and they toss into the package and the package always includes a resident.
	But it's never really said that it's a resident who lives in your town.
	And you can tell by the editing of these packages.
	Right.
	And also, generally speaking, it's who's this person?
	When you see them, it's like you've never seen them before on the show.
	Well, no, no.
	The intro is still a local reporter on the street, but then they go in and it's voiceover, and that is usually a different voiceover, and the person who's the subject in the package is not from 13th Street downtown.
	No, it's just some citizen, resident, whatever.
	They never say where the person is from because it has to fit into a general package.
	I'm not sure who's making this package, but it is being shoved around.
	I want you to be on the lookout for it.
	You're talking about a specific package?
	Yeah.
	Then I'm going to play for you.
	So we're going to do the whole format.
	The intro from the studio, the reporter on the street.
	I thought you were just talking about packages in general.
	No, I'm leading into a clip of said package.
	This is why I want people to be on the lookout for it.
	This particular package took a lot of time and clearances.
	Although I think they may not have to clear this for news.
	They put in all kinds of movie clips to accentuate the...
	The concept of what they're talking about.
	And it is also a concept near and dear to my heart.
	It happens in seconds.
	Moms and dads, you know that feeling.
	Your child gets lost in a storm, maybe just wanders off for a second or two.
	Your heart stops, though.
	Panic sets in and you think the worst.
	It's happened to most of us, but what if you had a secret weapon, an extra layer of safety, so to speak?
	How far would you go to keep your children secure?
	Would you be willing to microchip them?
	Experts tell us the technology already exists.
	Turns out one Bay Area mother is all for it, and she shared her story with our Melanie Michael.
	Hey guys, good evening to you both.
	You know, chances are if you have a four-legged family member at home, it's already microchipped.
	So first, there's the lead-in.
	They did say Bay Area, but she's not identified as such.
	Also not with a lower third.
	And then they started off by conditioning you, and she's holding on the two dogs in the shot, John.
	Two dogs.
	Oh, this is very normal.
	For your dogs, you might have your furry friend microchipped.
	Why not your children?
	Hey guys, good evening to you both.
	You know, chances are if you have a four-legged family member at home, it's already microchipped.
	And if the technology exists to save Fido in an emergency, what about microchipping your child?
	Before you say, no way, I would never do that.
	Hear one mom's story.
	And here comes the package.
	It's the longest two seconds of your life.
	And it's absolute panic.
	I want my son back!
	We've seen it in movies.
	This is my daughter!
	Over and over again, children gone missing.
	It's terrifying.
	For Stephanie Rodriguez-Neely, life is busier than ever.
	And the footage is these movies, because of course they don't have any local footage, and then they show an infrared helicopter shot of, and they'd use this three times in the package, of two cop cars in front of a playground with, literally, with the merry-go-round still twirling with no kids on it.
	Yeah.
	I love it.
	With four children, including a newborn.
	She knows scary situations can happen in an instant.
	And for her, it has.
	If it'll save my kid, there's no stuff that's too extreme.
	Nothing is too extreme to save my child, I tell you.
	Yeah, we start by putting a leash on it.
	Early.
	And then nothing's too extreme.
	Stephanie's teenage daughter is a special needs child, prone to wander off and trust strangers.
	For that very reason, Stephanie wholeheartedly welcomes microchipping a child.
	If a small chip the size of a grain of rice could have prevented Now, they're showing b-roll of someone else holding their hand out there.
	A tragedy.
	I think most parents, you know, hindsight would have said, I wish I would have done it.
	Oh, I wish I would have done it.
	But Stephanie is in the minority in her Tampa Bay Moms group, where other mothers call this too sci-fi and invasive.
	You're putting a battery in your kid, you're putting a chip in your kid, and where does it stop?
	Okay, that's just the only counterpoint.
	Turns out the technology to microchip your kids has existed since the early 90s.
	Yes, don't worry about anything.
	The technology's been around forever.
	We know what that is.
	It's all about science!
	But it hasn't really caught on.
	Is it a little too science fiction for you?
	Very much so.
	A well-known technology expert out of Boston tells us microchipping poses little to no health risks and would act as a barcode of sorts.
	Oh, without question.
	It could save a life, reunite a family, find a missing Alzheimer's patient.
	And you can put your money on it and pay with it just like Apple Pay.
	I always tell people, as long as you're doing what you feel is best for your child, you're not really wrong.
	And guys, this is what we're talking about, the microchip.
	I don't know if you can see it in my hand.
	It's the size of a grain of rice.
	I think she has a grain of rice in her hand, not a microchip.
	Very small.
	And the expert that we spoke with actually tells us that barcodes were introduced in the late 1960s.
	And back then, people thought, this is way too invasive and too weird.
	And now barcodes are so commonplace that we don't even think about them.
	Is this true, John?
	I don't remember people being all freaked about barcodes.
	I was around.
	What are you talking about?
	Barcoding your forehead?
	What is she talking about that is invasive and intrusive?
	Barcoding what?
	I thought everyone thought they were cool.
	In fact, the 90s, tattoos with barcodes showed up on people.
	Everybody liked that.
	So they say, oh, this was creepy, but now it's accepted.
	So what they're doing here is they're drawing the analogy saying, well, it's just like a barcode.
	It's a false analogy.
	Yes.
	It's just like a barcode, and everyone thought those were creepy, so don't worry.
	But wait till you hear when they get back to the studio how cavalier these a-holes are.
	In the late 1960s, and back then people thought, this is way too invasive and too weird, and now barcodes are so...
	Hold on, stop again.
	Barcodes were used on products like a can of beans, some cereal.
	It was just sometimes maybe on the side of a box car.
	There's all kinds of uses for barcodes.
	Inventory control was the main use.
	How is this got anything to do with invasive?
	None.
	None whatsoever.
	I think people thought it was some kind of...
	They didn't understand it, I guess.
	Look, I don't know.
	I don't remember this.
	I remember thinking, oh, okay.
	I understand how it works.
	You have different size barcodes and represents digits and numbers.
	In the late 1960s.
	And back then, people thought, this is...
	Oh, late 1960s.
	Okay.
	That I don't remember.
	You do.
	Yeah, I do.
	Were people creeped out?
	No.
	No, not in the least.
	Nobody gave a crap, let's put it that way.
	Way too invasive.
	Again, it was used for inventory.
	It's still used for inventory.
	Yeah.
	It's nothing crazy.
	Why would it be invasive?
	Because if somebody's doing inventory, oh, they're doing inventory, this is invasive.
	I don't get what she's talking about.
	Well, she's lying.
	The late 1960s, and back then people thought, this is way too invasive and too weird, and now barcodes are so commonplace that we don't even think about them anymore.
	Stop again.
	This has really gotten me.
	I knew it.
	I really detest this sort of analysis.
	Well, it's not analysis.
	It's PR. I just don't know who for.
	No, the whole package is PR for some product, obviously.
	But no, to throw these kinds of...
	These kinds of conclusions.
	This is analysis when she says, well, back then it was this and this and this.
	That's analysis.
	And the analysis is wrong.
	It's not even close to being accurate to anything that was actually going on.
	And the fact that they do this constantly, and you see this all the time in the media, where somebody who's half, they don't know what they're talking about.
	It's like, at least when I'm talking about the crooked building in Fort Worth, I'm saying I don't know what I'm talking about.
	I don't know anything about the building anymore.
	I forgot.
	There's different rules for podcasters.
	Well, yeah, podcasts, nobody cares.
	But this sort of thing is so galling to me.
	And you see it on a lot of podcasts, tech podcasts, for example.
	You find a lot of people that are just making stuff up.
	Or giving their unrequested opinions as business executives.
	Oh, I think Apple should spend their money.
	What?
	It's one of your pet peeves.
	Oh, I think Apple should buy them!
	The way Apple should be run, what Apple should do next.
	Hey, where were you as CEO? Hey, hey, hey.
	You know, just talking about that.
	No, I'll get to it later.
	I'll get to it later.
	But remind me.
	I have something to say about comic books.
	Remind me.
	Oh, God.
	30 seconds left.
	We can't seem to get through it.
	It's way too invasive and too weird, and now barcodes are so commonplace that we don't even think about them anymore.
	The expert tells us this will happen sooner rather than later.
	Now the studio.
	Well, and Mel, you said that the technology's been around since the 90s or whatever, but...
	I mean, have companies actually tried this?
	That's a different scenario.
	Two of them.
	Two of them, as a matter of fact.
	Both of those companies ended up going defunct.
	They tried initial public offerings.
	It did not go through.
	But you can bet somewhere, someday, someone is going to pull this off.
	And we can see those microchips in everyone.
	That's interesting to think about.
	Melanie Michael, live in Tampa.
	Thank you for that report.
	This guy.
	Oh, that's interesting to think about.
	Now let's go to the next item on the prompter.
	He wasn't thinking about it at all.
	It wasn't interesting.
	He wasn't thinking about it.
	Horrible man.
	Bah.
	Bah, bah, bah.
	Yeah.
	You want our producers to be on the lookout for packages that involve these chips.
	A lot of these are video press releases that are rejiggered into news stories.
	Well, there's another one roaming around, which...
	Do I have it?
	Yes.
	And it's...
	I was going to save it for tech news.
	Let's not do it as tech news.
	Let's do it as propaganda news.
	This story showed up everywhere, almost in print, a lot in print, and almost exclusively with the same type of angle.
	A new reporter reveals...
	What?
	Wait.
	Can I guess what it is?
	Yeah.
	Go ahead.
	They're using floppy disks.
	Yes, yes.
	A new report reveals the U.S. military uses 8-inch floppy disks to protect the country.
	The plastic storage devices from the 1970s are used in a computer system that coordinates operational functions of the nation's nuclear forces.
	The report from the Government Accountability Office shows the Defense Department system is one of the 10 oldest IT investments and urges federal agencies to address aging legacy products.
	A department spokeswoman says the floppy drives are scheduled to be replaced with secure digital devices by the end of 2017.
	The bottom line, betting on outdated technology to protect America.
	I have a version of it, too.
	Alright, what's your version?
	This one is old computers.
	The angle here is cost taxpayers.
	Yes.
	A lot's changed since the 1960s.
	This is good.
	Wait a minute.
	Wait a minute.
	Is this a package?
	This must be a package.
	No, no, this is a network.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, this is good.
	They put some effort into it.
	Now, you'll agree with me that this is for one thing and one thing only.
	The way it works, and I've learned a lot, because we're going to talk about this in the election news, when the inspector general for a department comes out with the inspector general's report, and we've got a lot of them coming out right now...
	Politicians and media really abuse the information.
	I read this report, and the only thing they're really talking about changing is the storage device.
	That's all they're talking about.
	They're not talking about replacing the COBOL machines that run this.
	And you know what?
	I'm happy!
	I am too.
	I agree.
	There's nothing wrong with those COBOL machines.
	Works fine.
	Almost no connectivity.
	Now, I want to say that this was, I believe, the meme of the week.
	And it was played everywhere.
	And they played it over and over and everything.
	In fact, even Steck.
	Oh, really?
	He sent me an email about it as though it was...
	He got suckered, as far as I'm concerned.
	Sorry.
	It happens.
	It happens.
	We all get suckered.
	It does.
	Yeah, we get suckered all the time.
	We get suckered all the time.
	But you see this, and then it was just inundated with this bull crap about the floppy disk.
	He asked me, and I do, by the way, have a box.
	And I only have a box of eight-inch floppies, but not the fives, the eights.
	I got the big ones.
	Yeah.
	And...
	I have a whole box of them, and I think it's like a hundred.
	And so I immediately went on eBay and see what these things are worth, because I always figured I'd sell them.
	And I think they're probably worth the good ones, the fresh ones, the ones that have never been used from verbatim.
	Or probably worth about five bucks a pop.
	Really not probably in my best interest to have kept them for so long.
	Because I think they were five bucks when they first came out, too.
	I know that once the three and a half inch floppies came out, you had shirts made in Thailand specifically with a shirt pocket that fit a floppy.
	Yes, I did.
	Genius.
	That wasn't Thailand.
	It was Taiwan.
	Oh, okay.
	Taiwan.
	And yes, I did.
	And then I had that shirt, that same pattern.
	But did you have it for the eight inch floppy disc?
	That would have been really cool.
	Now you're really nerdy.
	Hey, baby!
	Look at this.
	I got eight inches.
	No, but I had the shirt redone some years later, so it fit a CD. And it was designed so...
	It's just really mostly for a joke, because I didn't steal people's CDs, but it fit a CD perfectly within the case.
	And it fell just below the top of the pocket line.
	Yeah, perfect.
	So you could drop a stolen CD in your pocket and you wouldn't see it.
	Huh.
	And I just thought that was a good shirt.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Let me play your clip so we can get that out of the way.
	A lot's changed since the 1960s.
	The car of the year, Corvair.
	This was the number one car.
	With my Frigidaire.
	This was the latest fridge.
	And this was how we watch TV. But tonight we learned something hasn't changed.
	Museum-like computers, even floppy disks are being used for vital programs, from Social Security to nuclear weapons, like this old missile silo.
	A new report by the Government Accountability Office estimates $60 billion was spent last year just to maintain and repair these aging systems.
	Why put up with a set that isn't really up to date?
	It's a question we took right to Capitol Hill today.
	We're taking...
	Kids that are graduating with degrees in information technology and we're dumbing them down in order to learn what they were doing back in 1960.
	Whoa!
	How wrong is that statement?
	Yeah, let me see some Scrip Kitty throw down some Cobalt, dude.
	Yeah, we're dumbing him down all right.
	You kind of think that one good trip to Best Buy and you'd be better off than what you're doing now.
	And we did just that.
	This flash drive that I just bought could hold more than three million of these old floppy disks.
	And it cost about seven and a half million dollars less than buying that many old disks.
	And Mary Bruce with us live tonight.
	Mary, that was stunning.
	$60 billion in taxpayer money spent on those aging computers.
	What are the agencies telling you?
	Any changes coming?
	Well, David, at least one agency tells us tonight they agree.
	It now costs more to maintain all this than it does to update it.
	And they are hoping to make major updates before the end of the next fiscal year.
	David?
	All right, Mary Bruce, tracking your money tonight.
	Thank you.
	You know what is so incredibly sad about all of this?
	And this goes into another IG report, which I need to play.
	When it comes to technology, in politics...
	In news media, people really do not have an understanding of technology.
	To them, it's just...
	They have a screen, everything else behind it is black box.
	When we talk about a server, most people who listen to the show, I think...
	Because we've talked about email servers specifically.
	An image pops up in your head of a server, and for a lot of people, they already understand how it works and how email...
	This is not being taught in school, how all this stuff really works.
	It's not that hard under the hood to figure it out.
	And so here you have the same tactic taken, which, you know, so taxpayer money, that's the ding, ding, ding.
	And then it's old, it's outdated compared to old crazy stuff, very much like that other package.
	Oh, it was old and crazy.
	Back then it was the old technology, now it's a new technology.
	And this is, of course, going to be used once we condition the American public for a big money gouge.
	It's always a big money gouge.
	Huge money gouge.
	Yeah, but there's a big one coming with this.
	And again, they can't, you know, it seems to me that there's potential to make money by, I don't know if there's any new COBOL compilers that are available for the current crop of...
	Well, IBM does all this.
	It's all IBM machines.
	Yeah, it's all IBM can still do all the old stuff.
	And I like that the AS400 was a great machine.
	It still is a great machine.
	Do they still sell it, the AS400? Yeah.
	I'd be surprised if they didn't, but I don't think so.
	Which is a funny way of putting it.
	But I'd like to point out, the reason why your name is in all caps on your boarding pass is because the airlines are all using the same type of mainframes, running, you know, or programmed in COBOL. I don't know if they're running AS400's OS, which is not, it's OS, what is it called?
	Anyway, it doesn't matter.
	Um...
	I forgot.
	It's old.
	Is that going to be next?
	Watch the airlines not upgrade that.
	What are you going to upgrade to?
	JetBlue never used the old systems.
	The new systems that came in, which are Windows-based, which are problematic.
	I think JetBlue's system, I'm sure, is not using any old crap because it was a new airline.
	They're not going to buy it.
	I don't know what they're using, but my JetBlue tickets are in all caps, so I'm not so sure.
	Well, that may be a requirement.
	You don't know.
	Well, if you want to talk to all of the terror watch lists and all that, you're integrating on the back end with the government.
	You're in an older world.
	Anyway.
	Just saying that I'm very happy the nukes are run on COBOL. Please keep it that way.
	Yeah, rather than JavaScript.
	Which is all the kids learn today.
	I mean, most of the coders are just running JavaScript just to run front-end stuff off of using the browsers to do all kinds of stuff.
	I mean, they can do a lot of fancy stuff, but most of, to me, jumps all over the screen.
	I find it annoying.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Then you get somebody who's got just a little tweak of bad code, and you move the cursor over, and then the thing jumps all over the place!
	It goes crazy.
	And then you move, it stops.
	That sort of thing.
	This drives me nuts.
	So another IG report came out.
	This was a lot of news.
	This was almost as good as an airplane coming down.
	This was the Inspector General of the State Department's report.
	Titled Office of the Secretary Evaluation of Email Records Management and Cybersecurity Requirements.
	And this was touted quite widely as, oh my goodness, yeah, this is a day wrecker for Hillary.
	Day wrecker.
	There are a few things I would like to read, but also understand that this is a report, as it says, this is not Hillary Clinton's email.
	No.
	Evaluation of email records management and cybersecurity requirements.
	That's very different from, hey man, it's about Hillary's email.
	What the Inspector General found, the Federal Records Act requires appropriate management and preservation of federal government records, regardless of physical form or characteristics.
	That document the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, and essential transactions of an agency.
	For the last two decades, both Department of State policy and federal regulations have explicitly stated that emails may qualify as federal records.
	So I'm just pulling a few things on from this report.
	For instance, if you want to connect to the internet at all, I guess even if you're using a Blackberry, I guess they have some form of VPN. Since the end of 2002, the FAM, and FAM is an abbreviation for some State Department thing about communications, The FAM has required all department facilities to use the department's primary internet connection, OpenNet, to establish internet connectivity.
	You can just see the meeting.
	Hey, we need a VPN. What are we going to call it?
	I don't know.
	Let's call it something that everyone can buy into, like a transparency.
	No, no, no.
	Open, yeah, OpenNet.
	Yeah, that sounds good.
	The department further regulated access to the internet by establishing rules in 2004 addressing the use of non-departmental internet connections in department facilities.
	Since 2002, department employees have been prohibited from auto-forwarding their email to a personal email address to preclude inadvertent transmission of SBU email on the internet.
	That's their private email system.
	And then there's lots of mentions of Hillary Clinton in here when she was secretary.
	Secretary Clinton, by Secretary Clinton's tenure, the department's guidance was considerably more detailed and more sophisticated.
	Beginning in late 2005 and continuing through 2011, the department revised the FAM and issued various memoranda specifically discussing the obligation to use department systems in most circumstances and identifying the risk of not doing so.
	And I'm going to stop you there.
	I need to read this last line.
	Secretary Clinton's cybersecurity practices accordingly must be evaluated in light of these more comprehensive directives.
	And here it is.
	In November 2010, Secretary Clinton and her Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations discussed the fact that Secretary Clinton's emails to department employees were not being received.
	We talked about this months ago.
	The Deputy Chief of Staff emailed the Secretary that, quote, we should talk about putting you on state email or releasing your email address to the department so you're not going to spam.
	In response, the secretary wrote, quote, let's get separate addresses or device, but I don't want to risk any of the personal being accessible.
	Oops.
	And then it goes on to say that she refused to use multiple devices and kept using one device.
	And her practices were breaking the rules that she absolutely knew about.
	Do you want to say something before I play this little clip?
	Well, I just want to say something before you drift too far from the one little tidbit that you mentioned, which is the 2005.
	The rules were changed, and you had three dates in there.
	You had 2002, I think 2004, 2005.
	They had changed the rules and regulations of where things have to go.
	Under her tenure.
	Under her tenure, I think.
	No, she wasn't in there in 2005.
	She got in in 2008.
	But these rules were changed.
	But she keeps referring back.
	Oh, the old secretaries used to do it.
	And then she keeps mentioning Colin Powell.
	Well, this is all pre-2005.
	They changed the laws and rules and regulations and everything in between since Powell.
	You can't throw back...
	You know, Tyler, back in the day, Grover Cleveland, they didn't have a problem like this.
	It's ridiculous.
	That's her main excuse.
	Now, so let me just cut to the chase on this one, then we can get into the details of that.
	Every report has a conclusion.
	And the conclusion is about the report.
	The conclusion is not about Hillary Clinton's Specifically about Hillary Clinton's breaking the rules.
	It is what they should do.
	And it's a pretty long conclusion.
	I'm looking for it here.
	You know, but it says, oh, this is how it helps to do it.
	We need to be careful that no one does this kind of stuff.
	And certainly no personal servers.
	You know, it's a conclusion for what the title of the document says.
	Okay?
	Office of the Secretary, Evaluation of Email Records Management.
	You do have to say okay?
	Okay?
	Right?
	Listen to our friend, Barbara Boxer, who's coming.
	And man, she's a dick.
	This was a six-minute interview.
	She's just a nasty human being.
	She scoffs, and she's arrogant, and she talks down about people, and it's all Hillary this and Hillary that, my buddy Hillary this and Hillary that, and she's going to lie about this report.
	State Department's Inspector General report, its review of the whole email issue, has determined that Hillary Clinton did not comply with the State Department rules when it comes to her use of a private email server at the State Department.
	Your reaction to this report?
	Well, what you're leaving out of that is the State Department's, this IG report states in its conclusion that every single Secretary of State did the same thing.
	And I have it here.
	No, no, it does not conclude that, darling.
	No.
	Because not every single Secretary of State had their own email server.
	The same thing.
	And I have it here.
	I'm not reading it.
	I want to show your viewers.
	Now, this is interesting.
	So she's holding up this report, just one or two pages.
	But she says something different.
	That every single Secretary of State did the same thing.
	And I have it here.
	I'm not reading it.
	I want to show your viewers.
	Why does she say I'm not reading it?
	Where did that come from?
	I'm going to show this to your viewers.
	I'm not reading it.
	I have no idea why she said that.
	Does it cover her ass?
	Well, I said I wasn't reading it.
	Subliminally, she's doing something.
	I don't think she realizes.
	But anyway, here she is.
	Secretary of State did the same thing.
	And I have it here.
	I'm not reading it.
	I want to show your viewers.
	This is the conclusion.
	They don't even mention Hillary's name.
	They basically say the Department of State and the Office of the Secretary, since Colin Powell, did not follow the exact rules of preserving the electronic communications.
	So I think that's the key here for Hillary.
	What we now know is this has been a systemic problem, period, all through since Colin Powell.
	And people can take that To heart, Hillary has stated, looking back on it, she should have done things differently.
	She did hand over 55,000 emails, which...
	No, it was 55,000 pages.
	It was not 55,000 emails.
	A small but important detail.
	Done things differently.
	She did hand over 55,000 emails, which, by the way, her predecessors destroyed all their personal emails.
	So...
	Yeah, I mean, I think at the end of the day, when people read the conclusion, what they'll find out is that the Department of State and the Office of the Secretary of State, going back to Colin Powell, did not keep and retain these records, print out each email, keep them in a file, and hopefully going forward, which is what the Inspector General says, they will do so.
	She's just taking the conclusion which has nothing to do with the conclusion.
	It's not like an investigation of Secretary Clinton's emails of just a conclusion about how crappy the department has run.
	Which is true if you read the report.
	It's not all that great.
	Anyway, it can't be.
	It's impossible.
	This played very differently, and I was surprised by this.
	Andrea Mitchell dialed into the Morning Joe show, and Andrea Mitchell, besides being an elite, married to, what's his name?
	Greenspan.
	Greenspan.
	She's up there in the elite echelon, and she is pulling no punches when it comes to this.
	She used to be, am I mistaken, that she was always kind of a Hillary supporter?
	Yeah.
	Until recently, I don't know that she's still not.
	The first interview we showed was the one that you did with her and she says time and time and time and time and time and time again it was allowed.
	Was it allowed?
	It was not allowed to not return those records before she left the State Department.
	She violated the Official Records Act according to What you have shown just now, Mika, completely undercuts the argument she's been making for more than a year, just as she is trying to persuade voters that she's not untrustworthy.
	I think that the most surprising and in some ways shocking thing is their reaction.
	Claiming that this is the same as what former secretaries did, the comparison they're making to Colin Powell, the facts are That Colin Powell was the first Secretary of State to ever use email.
	He used it specifically to try to launch the State Department into the new century and try to get people to communicate by email.
	He was using it as an example.
	He did use some personal emails.
	He didn't always separate them, but it was completely above board.
	Everybody in the State Department knew what he was doing.
	It was not, in fact, violating a rule that was put in place under Clinton, not after she left.
	It was put in place under Clinton, and she was warned beforehand of decades of this Records Act that prohibits you to leave the State Department, leave any agency, and not turn over your records.
	So there are so many flaws in their argument, and, you know, the politics, we'll have to see how that plays out, but I don't see how this is anything but devastating.
	Ooh, devastating, I tell you.
	Well, if you want to play that sort of thing, here is talking about devastating.
	This is an interesting, this is especially contrasted to boxer, but this is the...
	Anything is contrasted to boxer.
	This is what they think in Germany.
	This is the report.
	They bring the report out, they discuss it a little bit, and then they follow up with Deutsche Welle's American correspondent and his interpretation of what all this means.
	Yes, it's a very good question because I went through, I read all the reports, 78 pages I went through, and honestly, I couldn't...
	Honestly, I work so hard.
	I find really a lot of really new information.
	Let me just quote one sentence.
	The Inspector General found that her practices failed to comply with the State Department's policies meant to ensure that federal record laws are And of course, you can also put it into a nutshell and basically say she broke the law.
	She didn't comply with the rules.
	She, the former Secretary of State, who has to make sure that all the people who work for the State Department, she broke the law.
	And to answer your question, I think what makes it so dangerous, now it's official.
	Yeah, it's official and it begs the question then, Mia, what is this going to mean for her campaign?
	It means Bill better get sick pretty soon.
	It won't go away.
	It's really a big problem for her.
	Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, just gave a speech in California.
	He's already using it.
	And I think Trump will continue to do that.
	Clinton said she was cooperating with the Inspector General, but when you talk to his office or look through the report, you will see that the opposite is due.
	The Inspector General said Clinton and her aide were not cooperating with the investigation.
	What makes it so dangerous?
	It fits into the narrative.
	Everybody else has to comply with the law, not she.
	Hillary is above the law, and that's the reason why so many Americans think she is arrogant, not a likable person.
	All right, our Washington correspondent is on the story for...
	Not a likable person.
	Indeed.
	And the thing that I got out of that was he mentions this one little...
	I think it's minor, at least from our perspective, but it's probably not as minor as we would think...
	The comment that it's official.
	Yeah.
	I think that's very interesting because the report making it to us, it was just like, well, we already knew she did this, but now it's official.
	That has an impact on a lot of people.
	I agree.
	I agree it does.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Even though the report is really nothing.
	Like he said, there's nothing really new in there that we don't know.
	Already knew.
	Now, there's a couple of interesting...
	Go on with what you're saying, because I have a couple of interesting observations that have to do more with the who's backing who nowadays, because it seems that we're having some...
	You just did that with Andrea Mitchell.
	ABC... Wait, is this a three-by-three?
	Yeah, you might as well say it.
	Now it's time for 3x3.
	Experiment by JCD. Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC. The never-ending 3x3.
	It's time for the never-ending 3x3.
	John C. Devorak checks three out, and three times three is now in our 30th week.
	Let's, uh...
	Let's play a couple of these things about Clinton and how they're presented.
	CBS, for example, has been very pro-Hillary.
	And I think that there was a shakedown or something that didn't go well or didn't go right.
	A shakedown?
	Someone tried to shakedown Clinton or the other way around?
	Yeah, no, they tried to shakedown Clinton.
	That would be my guess, I mean, because the advertising money is needed.
	And...
	I mean, I don't know.
	So it could have been a lot of different things.
	But I'm noticing a twist, a change.
	And I want you to play this.
	This is the Clinton email part of the story on CBS. Getting access to her personal information.
	Nancy Cordes has more.
	What I did was allowed by the State Department.
	Clinton has never said who authorized her use of a private email server and today we learned why.
	The internal audit found no evidence that the secretary requested or obtained guidance or approval.
	The report said diplomatic security officials did not and would not have signed off because the arrangement violated policies implemented in 2005.
	There were no security breaches.
	Clinton has long insisted her home server was secure.
	But the report cites emails from her private technology advisor warning in January 2011 that he had to shut down the server because he believed someone was trying to hack us.
	And while they did not get in, I didn't want them to have the chance to.
	Later that day, he sent a second message.
	We were attacked again, so I shut the server down for a few minutes.
	State Department IT staffers who expressed concerns about Clinton's setup were rebuffed.
	One was told by higher-ups the matter was not to be discussed any further.
	Another was instructed never to speak of the secretary's email system again.
	I made it clear I'm more than ready to talk to anybody anytime.
	Despite her vow to cooperate with a separate FBI investigation, Clinton and most of her top aides refused to be interviewed for this State Department report.
	And she didn't answer our shouted questions today.
	Secretary Clinton, your reaction to the inspector general's report?
	But her campaign chose to view the report in a positive light.
	Press Secretary Ryan Fallin.
	I think the report today backs up much of what we were saying and includes an appropriate amount of context about how widespread the use of personal email was.
	So I actually think the report today puts a lot of those questions to bed based on how fair it was in explaining that the use of personal email was widespread and done by her predecessors, including Secretary Powell.
	This dovetails very nicely into a clip.
	I have questions for the spokeshole of the State Department.
	Not Kirby, but the other guy.
	What's his name?
	No.
	Yeah, Douche.
	Douchey McBaggy.
	And so here is where...
	I left the pause in.
	I take out a lot of pauses in our clips because we only have so much time and it's boring to listen to.
	I left this one in.
	There were hack attempts on her server.
	How did that not bring a reassessment that maybe this isn't?
	And then it apparently just got plugged back in.
	How did that not bring a reassessment that maybe this wasn't the best strategy?
	Now, right there, when you hear a journalist say, and apparently it was just plugged right back in, this shows that it truly is important to realize these people have no understanding of the technology.
	You know, you have it because it's been your life.
	I have it because I grew up with it in my life.
	But other people who, you know, decide to go politics or news spokesmodel, they didn't learn any of this.
	They do not understand the basic workings of it.
	So when you hear this, it is a travesty for journalism.
	Travesty.
	So just plug back in.
	Strategy.
	Well, I don't know, again, I don't know if the OIG specifically addresses the security of her system.
	He says that she never told anybody about it.
	I do know there were hack attempts, but none of them were successful.
	How do you know that none of them were successful?
	I would just have to refer you to the...
	How do you know that?
	Because the report does not say that none of them were successful.
	Hmm...
	I apologize, actually.
	I misspoke.
	But I will say, but I just would refer you to Secretary Clinton.
	Now, luckily, there's someone awake in this gang.
	...for questions about the security system.
	One other question.
	I want to follow up on Brad's question.
	You, with regard to hacking attempts, you have previously confirmed, have you not, that there were efforts to hack into the Secretary's email?
	I think we have, yeah.
	But I'm not 100% sure.
	But I mean, hack in.
	I mean, right.
	But none of them...
	That's why I believe that none of them were successful.
	We have, I think, addressed that before.
	So here's my next question, then.
	Because you then...
	Brad asked you, how do you know that they weren't successful And you said, I misspoke, I apologize.
	And I just want to understand, do you have any reason to think that there was a success?
	No, no, no.
	What I would, and Brad pointed out, was the OIG report, what I was saying, I misspoke, was the, thank you for giving me the chance to clarify, the OIG report doesn't address it.
	Specifically, the security of her system, including whether or not any of the reported attempted hacks were successful.
	And for that, I would just have to refer you to her team to talk about whether any of them were successful.
	But to your knowledge...
	To our knowledge, they were not.
	But I don't know if that's a comprehensive knowledge.
	Wow.
	Huh.
	Yeah, well, email servers, you know...
	They're hackable.
	Yeah, it's a continuous battle.
	Certainly with the Chinese, man.
	Or at least stuff coming from China, let's put it that way.
	Here's, before you go, do you have more 3x3?
	Yeah, I got more.
	Yeah, roll it out.
	Well, you said something else.
	You had something else you wanted to do.
	Well...
	Yeah, Fox News.
	The report itself said there were things that were not turned over right away.
	And in fact, one of the emails that did not come out publicly in the tranches that were given to reporters...
	This is important.
	...was one that said, in November 2010, Secretary Clinton and her Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations discussed the fact that Secretary Clinton's emails to department employees were not being received.
	The deputy chief of staff emailed the secretary that, quote, we should talk about putting you on state email or releasing your email address to the department so you're not going to spam.
	In response, the secretary wrote, let's get separate address or device, but I don't want any risk of the personal being accessible.
	That was never released to reporters.
	No other secretary had a personal server.
	We should make that clear.
	I did not realize that had never been released to reporters, that particular email.
	How convenient!
	Of course.
	Okay, let's get a couple of these out of the way.
	I'm going to play this PBS rap on the Clinton.
	I think this is the Clinton-Trump back and forth.
	Let's play this and see where it goes.
	And beyond the details of the report, there is, of course, the politics of Secretary Clinton's emails.
	And while the issue has followed her throughout the campaign on the Republican side, new protests, some of the violent, have swarmed around the GOP. Stop that one.
	Stop that clip.
	That's going to go someplace else.
	Yeah, you want to talk about the protest or do you want to wait with that?
	No, no, I want to wait on that because I have yet to get to my point, which is going to be the switcheroo that's taking place at ABC. So let's play the Hillary email, I mean CBS, but also ABC. I think ABC and CBS right now are both in the Trump camp.
	I can't I'm just getting too much evidence.
	Listen to this Hillary email complete on ABC. Meantime, Hillary Clinton under fire tonight.
	A scathing new report.
	A State Department investigation now...
	Huh?
	What?
	Scathing.
	Listen to the adjectives.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It was a pretty straightforward report, wasn't it?
	It's just a report and it points out that...
	Scathing?
	Is scathing the right word?
	No, no.
	Scathing.
	I don't know.
	Book of knowledge.
	Oh, she didn't hear me.
	Book of knowledge.
	Definition of scathing.
	The term scathing means marked by harshly abusive criticism.
	Yeah, that's not in there.
	Harshly abusive criticism.
	No, no.
	Go to sleep, Booker Knowledge.
	Under fire tonight, a scathing new report.
	A State Department investigation now finding she broke the rules with her private email server.
	Clinton did not answer questions today on this, but tonight her spokesman is talking, saying she did nothing different than the secretaries of state who came before her.
	Here's ABC's Cecilia Vega.
	And I saw this guy everywhere, and he keeps saying, oh, everybody use personal email.
	It's so insulting.
	He's trying to push this, but it's not working.
	But we know that this is very different.
	Tonight, Hillary Clinton slammed by State Department investigators.
	Slammed!
	Slammed!
	Book of Knowledge.
	Definition of slammed.
	Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question.
	Never requested or obtained permission to conduct government business on her private server, even though she had an obligation to do so.
	Clinton has repeatedly promised to cooperate with the FBI investigation into those emails.
	I'm more than ready to talk to anybody anytime.
	I'm happy to answer any questions that anybody might have.
	Anytime you want to talk to me, here I am.
	But she refused to talk to State Department investigators, and so did her close aide, Huma Abedin.
	Clinton has said that private server...
	Wait a minute, she refused to talk to them?
	She talked to the FBI. Oh, okay.
	Everybody, all the Clintonites have refused to talk to the State Department.
	Oh, wow.
	Wow.
	Most transparent in history.
	Clinton has said that private server was never hacked, but the State Department investigation did uncover an attempted hack.
	Multiple Clinton staffers sounding alarms about it, one instructing her team not to email Clinton anything sensitive, saying she would explain more in person.
	Clinton's campaign points out the new report also shows another Secretary of State used a private email account, too.
	A spokesman tweeting, her personal email use was not unique at State Department.
	I tried to ask about it today.
	Secretary Clinton, why didn't you cooperate with the IG investigation?
	She ignored all questions.
	Stop, stop for a second.
	Now, you notice we played the previous report, which was CBS. Mm-hmm.
	And we also had the shouting reporter as a meme.
	Which is always fun.
	Yeah.
	Hey, blah, blah, blah.
	And they ignore it.
	She was slammed by the RG! I was actually stunned when I saw the shouting reporter for a second time on another network.
	Ah.
	Anyway, go on.
	She ignored all questions, her campaign moving on, while Clinton today appeared on Ellen with her SNL doppelganger.
	Hi Ellen, I'm Hillary Rodham Clinton.
	Every day we face hard choices like which statement blazer to wear.
	And Cecilia Vega joins us tonight from California as well.
	And Cecilia, the State Department investigator said today that Hillary Clinton did not cooperate with this investigation.
	But we know that she has promised to cooperate with the FBI. Any word when she'll sit down with the FBI? Well, David, campaign sources tell me that sit-down has not yet happened indeed, and there is no date set for one yet, but we do know that her top aides, including Huma Abedin, have been interviewed by the FBI. That is a sign, David, that this investigation could be nearing completion.
	Cecilia Vega with us as well.
	Ah.
	All right, now.
	Wait, yeah?
	Just to make the point clear, because I'm not talking about that, about these people taking sides.
	Yeah, no, you're talking about who's covering for who.
	Now, I want to play this.
	This is a little different.
	I would also like to play the CBS clip where they open it up when they start to talk about the Clinton versus Trump.
	And they start and play Crooked Hillary, Crooked Hillary, Crooked Hillary.
	They have Trump saying it three times.
	And then they say she's the crookedest person ever.
	They are allowing this meme to fester.
	And I think it's a gem, by the way.
	And while we're on it, let's just say that we've been calling Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas for years.
	Years.
	Now I can't do it anymore.
	Thanks, Trump.
	You can do it.
	No, of course not.
	People who just come in like, oh, why are you using the Trump thing?
	It was ours.
	Oh, that's true.
	We can't do that.
	We get these people that listen to the show all of a sudden and they think we're copying somebody else.
	We'll be called stooges.
	Hey, a little entremont?
	Quickie?
	Two quickies?
	Because, of course, as I'm watching and we have a lot of stuff going on, we just had so many different things happening at the same time that really confused the news networks.
	MSNBC. And much more still ahead.
	A very busy political news morning.
	But again, we're going to begin with that breaking news we told you about at the top.
	Right now, out of Pennsylvania, Bill Cosby is set to arrive at a suburban Philadelphia courthouse any moment now for a key hearing in his criminal sex assault case.
	Interesting how the mind works, isn't it?
	Well, that's interesting because it segues right into my clip.
	I have another one, but can I do another quickie?
	Okay.
	I think it'll segue into your clip.
	This is when CNN cut live to the protest, which we need to talk about.
	Where were these protests?
	In California.
	There were two groups.
	There was Anaheim and New Mexico.
	Albuquerque, I believe.
	Yes, I think this is...
	This may be...
	I think this is New Mexico.
	Hold on for a moment.
	We've just re-established our contact with Dan Simon.
	He's outside the convention hall.
	Where are you, Dan?
	Well, hey, Wolf, I'm about a block away from the main...
	Turn down the audio!
	Turn down the audio!
	We gotta get him!
	It's the same fuck!
	The same fuck!
	Alright, stand by Dan Simon.
	I want to...
	We'll get back to you.
	I love that so much.
	You can just see the panic.
	Cut his mic, cut his mic.
	Good to be here, bro.
	Cut his mic.
	Okay.
	That doesn't segue at all.
	I'm so sorry.
	Go back and play that other clip again.
	Okay.
	I'm so sorry about that.
	I don't know how you got that to work.
	Well, I could make it work.
	No, no.
	I'm talking about Bill Clinton.
	Right.
	Because that's what that's saying when he's into Bill Clinton.
	And much more still ahead.
	A very busy political news morning.
	But again, we're going to begin with that breaking news we told you about at the top.
	Right now, out of Pennsylvania, Bill Clinton is set to arrive at a suburban...
	Excuse me, Bill Cosby.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Bill Cosby, Bill Clinton.
	Yes.
	So we get this story played on CBS. This is Kenneth Starr.
	Ah, yes.
	Kenneth Starr is the honcho.
	This is right up the road from me.
	Ed Baylor.
	Yeah.
	And they make it sound like he's a rapist or something, the way they do this.
	But this is a piece of very interesting propaganda, as far as I can tell.
	And it indicates to me that we're seeing a switch at CBS from...
	Hating Trump to hating Clinton.
	I don't know.
	Can it star?
	Yeah.
	Baylor rapes.
	The man who once investigated President Bill Clinton's sexual misdeeds now finds himself at the middle of an investigation involving sexual assault.
	Yeah, you know, when I heard that, because of course I saw all this, I immediately thought, wait a minute.
	That can't be right.
	I think not!
	Don Daler reports Kenneth Starr could lose his job as president of Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
	Okay, stop right there.
	So I want to take this apart.
	Now, you already saw the thing where they associated Clinton with Bill Cosby.
	And that was a mistake.
	But that's how the brain works.
	It's interesting.
	But what we have here is a non-story.
	This is not a story.
	I didn't see anybody else running this.
	What this is, and it's supposedly about Kenneth Starr maybe losing his job, which there's really no connection to the story.
	This is not about, listen to this with it in mind, anyone who wants to study this as propaganda.
	This is a hit piece against Bill Clinton.
	Yeah, to discredit the investigation of Kenneth Starr.
	No.
	This is the show that CBS has switched over.
	They're going after Clinton.
	This is a hit piece on Bill Clinton.
	It dredges up the past, reminds us of what went on in the past, and it gives us the kind of thing where crooked Hillary, who was his enabler during this whole time, comes to the fore in the brain.
	You're now thinking, because it's not about Kenneth Starr at all.
	Nobody gives a shit about Kenneth Starr getting fired from Baylor.
	It's not a story.
	It's a vehicle.
	It's a vehicle.
	This is a vehicle to remind people that Clinton was a douchebag and he's not the greatest guy in the world.
	And it gives license for Trump to go after him to go after Hillary.
	Because Hillary, you get Bill.
	You get Hillary in the White House, you get Bill in the White House.
	Yeah.
	All this stuff.
	I mean, the only way, of course, you know the only way out of this, but...
	Goodbye, Bill!
	This whole piece was outrageous to me.
	I watched it and I was stunned.
	And this was which network, John?
	CBS. CBS, yes.
	All in on Hillary until this day.
	And the other piece I just played is showing you the same thing.
	They really went after her with all kinds of language.
	Now this piece, they bring back everything.
	It's every bad thing about Bill.
	Here we go.
	Over the last seven years, the nation's largest Baptist university has been plagued by allegations of rape and sexual assault.
	At least six women have accused eight Baylor football players of violence.
	I hope that people don't have to deal with this in the future.
	In March, Jasmine Hernandez filed a lawsuit claiming after she was raped, the school ignored her pleas for counseling and justice.
	The school completely neglected my needs and I didn't realize that they were federally required to sort of address these issues differently than they did.
	Linebacker Tevin Elliott was convicted of raping Hernandez and is serving a 20-year sentence.
	Defensive end Sam Ukwachu was convicted of raping a female soccer player.
	The school's president is Kenneth Starr, who is accused by several students of failing to respond to reports of sexual assaults.
	I don't know to what extent Ms.
	Lewinsky was being guided by...
	Starr became well-known in the 90s as the independent counsel who investigated President Clinton's relationship with then-White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
	I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
	Starr's report on that affair eventually led to only the second presidential impeachment in U.S. history.
	Baylor will not comment on whether Kenneth Starr will step down as president.
	Charlie, the university is currently reviewing an independent report on how the rape allegations were handled.
	Thanks, Don.
	Today, Attorney General Loretta Liz said...
	Oh, wait.
	Actually, this little thing at the end, I think, is actually a kicker.
	...the rape allegations were handled.
	Thanks, Don.
	Today, Attorney General Loretta Liz said the U.S. will seek the death penalty against Dylann Roof.
	Okay.
	I just thought the throwing in the death penalty thing was...
	Just add to it.
	Just a nice little...
	Just add to the emotions that you get.
	First you get this.
	They show you.
	They have the video of Bill Clinton lying to the American public.
	I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
	And then they mention...
	So to become only the second president impeached in history...
	I mean, this was an absolute hit piece against Bill Clinton.
	It had nothing to do with Starr.
	And meanwhile, when you think that some of the Clinton operatives would be helping, Van Jones, you remember Van Jones?
	He's Prince's best friend.
	Yeah, right.
	He was hanging out with Prince all the time.
	Yeah, he's on the phone.
	Someone needs to call him from the Hillary camp and say, uh, shut up.
	You're not helping.
	Might this attack, this repeated attack, backfire on the Trump camp?
	At some point, what is Trump doing?
	Talking about Anybody's sex life.
	What's his campaign slogan when it comes to family values?
	I like my third wife so much I don't have to cheat on this one.
	But here's the deal.
	You have a situation where you have a candidate in Donald Trump who wants to bring up other people's sex lives as if he is some kind of a saint.
	This guy's not a saint.
	The reality is a lot of people are already frustrated and angry about him trying to make hay about someone else.
	You know how hard it is to stay married?
	And yet they're tied in the polls.
	Hold on a second.
	Do you know how hard it is to stay married in America?
	What does that mean, Van?
	Do you know how hard it is to stay married in America?
	What?
	What is he doing?
	He said it twice.
	Why?
	Is he going to get divorced?
	Is this something that's eating at him?
	Is he even married?
	Ask the Book of Knowledge.
	Book of Knowledge.
	Is Van Jones married?
	Sorry, I don't know.
	No, that thing is useless.
	Yeah, it is.
	It's good for timers.
	That's what everybody says.
	I can set a timer.
	But for him to say that, either he's trying to say, you know, we're all such horndogs in America.
	It's so hard not to cheat.
	That's possible.
	And I think there's some truth to that if you look at the advertising, which is just pumping people full of sex thoughts all the time.
	And then, of course, you have advertising pumping men full of, you're a loser.
	You got a big fat belly.
	You're a loser.
	You're just a loser.
	You're a doofus.
	And then, you know, you're all jacked up.
	And I'm like, oh, if I drink this beer, I'm going to get that chick.
	I'm going to drive that car.
	So I don't know what Van is saying, but he's a moron.
	And yet they're tied in the polls.
	Hold on a second.
	Do you know how hard it is to stay married in America?
	A lot of people are proud of the Clintors for being able to stick it out.
	Donald Trump wasn't able to stick it out.
	So if you guys want to do this type of stuff, it's going to be a long six months.
	No, but Van, let's be fair here.
	There's a big difference between having an affair with a White House intern who's a teenager And then marrying three women.
	I mean, you're not being fair here.
	He paid Paula Jones $850,000.
	The last time I didn't sexually harass someone, I didn't pay them $850,000.
	We're not airing all this dirty laundry here.
	I just can't believe we're going there, and it's May.
	I can't believe we're going there.
	Oh my, OMG, I can't believe we're going there.
	Wow.
	But she was, in an interesting way, defending Trump in a roundabout way, and I thought hell had frozen over when I heard Chuck Todd, again with this Clinton press secretary, who looks like he's had a vasectomy, if you saw the guy.
	That makes sense.
	Yeah.
	And he's, you know, so there was this audio tape of Trump floating around.
	I didn't even clip it because once I saw this, I'm like, oh, I don't have to unravel this.
	Chuck Todd's doing it.
	In which Trump is asked before the 2000 crisis, he said, hey, you know, housing lending is in a bubble.
	As of 2006.
	Yeah, he said housing land is in a bubble, and he said, well, crap, if that's happened, I'll sit around and wait for it, and boom, I'll buy everything on the cheap.
	What has happened is, and specifically Hillary, and I'm sorry, I had the clip where she was actually reading her take on it, which is rooted for the destruction of the economy, which you couldn't know in 2006 that a housing bubble would destroy the economy, would put people on the, make them experience homelessness, to use the politically correct word.
	You know, he didn't know that.
	So he, of course, is debunking that.
	But then I saw it interesting to see Chuck Todd do it.
	You've heard Donald Trump's response.
	You guys hit on him with the real estate.
	Isn't that why he...
	You notice this term saying, you know, they don't even say hit job.
	They say hit.
	It's hit on him.
	You know, hit on her, hit on him.
	It's a hit.
	We're a violent country.
	You've heard Donald Trump's response, you guys hit on him with the real estate.
	Isn't that why he's won the nomination?
	Isn't that why a lot of voters are attracted to him?
	That he's, you know what, when things are bad, he's looking for a way to make money?
	Isn't that the type of thinking voters think they're getting with him?
	Why isn't that a good asset for him?
	I don't know how to react to that statement from Donald Trump.
	You know, what was exposed today was that at the height of the subprime mortgage crisis, he was openly rooting for all these foreclosures.
	I sort of, you know, I sort of hope.
	Chuck Todd can barely say the word defense.
	He kind of says, he wants to say, in his defense.
	He's like, in his defense.
	Oh, crap.
	I can't be one of those people.
	Foreclosures.
	He does.
	In his defense.
	I sort of, you know.
	Wow.
	In his defense.
	Oh, crap.
	Oh, and you know how that thought goes through your head when you're talking, when you're pronouncicating?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's the filters.
	You catch yourself, especially if you're on television.
	That was, yeah.
	You really have to be on your toes.
	That was his filter.
	It kicked in.
	You can hear it kicking in, like little sliders in a lock.
	Right there, that is the borderline clip of the day.
	Oh, nice.
	We'll play that bit again.
	The height of the subprime mortgage crisis, he was openly rooting for all these foreclosures.
	He does.
	I sort of hope I don't mind.
	Is that rooting?
	Look, if he is making...
	I mean, you're making a leap.
	In his reaction statement, well, I think he owned it in his response statement that he just put up on the screen.
	That is fair.
	So who wants to make the point that the answer to making America great again is greed, bigotry, misogyny?
	If the idea is that he's putting all his chips on those qualities, then we will take the other side of that bet in this election.
	Yeah, I bet you will.
	Hey, let's talk.
	I may have some of this in these clips here.
	Try this one.
	We have to talk about the Albuquerque thing.
	Yeah, we'll get there.
	I'm almost there.
	You brought this other issue up.
	Play this ABC News on Trump vs.
	Warren.
	Uh...
	ABC News.
	Hold on.
	I don't have it.
	What is it titled?
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	It says ANC News.
	Whoops!
	Police forced to fire tear gas.
	Trump denouncing protesters waving the Mexican flag as, quote, thugs and criminals.
	And inside the rally...
	Go home to mommy.
	Is it fun to be at a Trump rally?
	I mean, is this the greatest...
	Calling out demonstrators one by one.
	A woman dragged out by her limbs head first.
	Not in the crowd?
	New Mexico's Republican Governor Susana Martinez.
	Trump attacking her.
	She's not doing the job.
	Hey!
	Maybe I'll run for governor of New Mexico.
	I'll get this place going.
	What was that all about?
	Oh, that was the Albuquerque thing.
	I don't see where Warren was in that clip.
	Well, it's not done yet.
	There's another minute.
	I was just saying, what the hell was Trump yelling about running for the governor of New Mexico?
	He's got a beef with the governor.
	I know that, but still...
	Something's changed.
	He has bullet points that he's referring to continuously.
	He's holding the paper up for his focal distance, I can tell.
	And this was a line that he had.
	Wait, wait, stop.
	I want to mention something, because this came up in a couple of different reports.
	They said, and they presented in such a way that it sounds bad, but it's actually good.
	They said they dragged the woman off by her limbs, head first!
	Now, if you'd listen to that, would you want her dragged off by her feet and then have her head bouncing off the face?
	Let me hear that again.
	Not doing the job.
	Hey, maybe I'll run for governor of New Mexico.
	I'll get this place going.
	Martinez spokesperson firing back.
	The governor will not be bullied into supporting a candidate until she is convinced that candidate will fight for New Mexicans.
	And now Trump on the receiving end of a series of fierce attacks from Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren.
	Painting the billionaire as a ruthless businessman hoping to benefit from people losing their homes in the recession.
	What kind of a man roots for people to get thrown out of their house?
	A small, insecure money grubber who doesn't care who gets hurt so long as he makes a profit off it.
	Trump today hit back hard, calling Warren Pocahontas, proclaiming she's part Native American without providing proof.
	Pocahontas.
	That's Elizabeth Warren.
	I call her Goofy.
	She is...
	No, no, Goofy.
	She gets less done than anybody in the United States Senate.
	Bully.
	He's a bully.
	He's hurting my feelings.
	He's a bully, I tell you.
	You know, the funny thing about the bully, the meme, or that he is a bully, as far as I'm concerned, he's a total bully.
	Yeah.
	I think that that's actually a positive thing because we have been beaten back.
	I think the society as a whole has been beaten back on this bully issue.
	Oh, I'm being bullied.
	Everyone's being bullied.
	I'm being bullied at work.
	I'm being bullied at school.
	Everyone's a bully and they need bully counseling.
	Bully, bully, bully.
	I think it's gotten on everybody's nerves because it's too much.
	So Trump is kind of a bully.
	I think people root for him for being a bully.
	Never underestimate the American public.
	The American public has no memory.
	It has no memory.
	It gets irked easily.
	It doesn't like to be pushed around by the bigger bullies, the big bullies, the government.
	Uh-huh.
	But you can always make a comeback in America.
	You can always make a comeback.
	I mean, I think America would even accept an OJ comeback.
	I'm telling you, that is our culture.
	Jimmy Carter, Nixon, Bill Clinton.
	Absolutely true.
	You have to confess you've got to do all these things, though.
	There's a bunch of prerequisites.
	You've got to eat shit for a long time.
	Now, his meme of Crooked Hillary is one thing, and then his other one, which is he's trying to transition from Pocahontas to Goofy.
	Yeah, which I think is...
	I like Goofy the way he says it.
	I like Goofy, too, and she is Goofy.
	What is she doing, by the way?
	What is her plan?
	Is she staying relevant in the race, just in case, you know, plan B or plan A, really, Bill falls ill, or Hillary falls ill, and then she would slide in.
	That's exactly right.
	The only reason for her to be in play as much as she is, and she's very aggressive, is to maybe, you know, the convention's still off, there's still this...
	Stuff hanging over Hillary's head.
	There's got to be discussions about this in the party.
	They've got to be saying, what about this latest?
	Well, now we have Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
	Looks like she's getting kicked out as chair of the DNC. She should be.
	Which is about time.
	No one's even coming to her defense.
	I think today or tomorrow she's out.
	Oh, nobody's coming to her defense.
	Nobody likes her.
	She's so easy not to like.
	About these protests for a second.
	Okay, back to that.
	Okay.
	So, Jeffrey Toheg, producer in Albuquerque.
	Yeah, actually, he had kind of an interesting note.
	Let me share that with y'all.
	It was interesting but frightening at the same time.
	Where is he?
	Okay.
	Adam and John.
	And he sent me a link.
	Which I'll get into in a second.
	The cars were stopped and the protesters started hitting the stopped cars and I was on my old red Honda scooter, which I've seen.
	It's not a fierce looking machine.
	So I decided to take the curb and go around them.
	One of the sign waving protesters jumped in front of me, waving his sign overhead.
	So I took that as a sign of violence toward me.
	So I accelerated and hit him, knocking to the side and kicked at the others.
	They tried to block me.
	I made the sidewalk and took it down the street where I jumped a curb and headed home.
	I watched the douchebaggery from my home on the news.
	It was a staged event.
	And here's how we know it was a staged event.
	There were about 100 paid protesters who were walking around with very professionally printed signs.
	This is what we always need to look out for.
	And the two professionally...
	Because there were also a lot of hand-drawn signs...
	So you can see who the professional protesters are when they have a sign that says therednation.org or pslweb.org.
	Are you familiar with PSL Web?
	Nope.
	PSL stands for Party for Socialism and Liberation.
	And then we have the Red Nation.
	Which is another one of these outfits.
	And it's not so hard to see who is paying them with about a million each in donations.
	Care to guess?
	Soros.
	You're right on the first time.
	This guy's an a-hole, and people need to call him out.
	Stop doing this!
	Stop it.
	He is paying people to go protest and rile people up, and it doesn't take much.
	I think there's something illegal about some of this.
	If you create violence, what he's doing is paying for violence.
	Well, I'm sure there's no contract that says I'm paying you for violence.
	He's paying for violence.
	He's paying for what results invite.
	I'm just I'm just taking devil's advocate.
	Well, I mean, this is the kind of thing that got the Southern Poverty Law Center all cranked up to be what they are today with the $700 million in the bank.
	They stayed.
	They proved that these Nazis in some part of the country of Oregon or Washington or someplace had by their nature of provoking, they had caused the death of somebody or somebody got hurt.
	And so they sued in this roundabout way and they won.
	And this sounds to me as though Soros is susceptible to the same kind of law action, legal action.
	Why doesn't somebody do something?
	Because it behooves the other douchebags who are on that echelon of elitism.
	I guess.
	Why is he doing this?
	Ultimately, to protect his stuff, we're clear on that, but what is the strategy?
	Well, obviously he wants Hillary to be the president because there's something in it for him.
	And now he's getting desperate.
	Yeah.
	I think a lot of people are getting desperate.
	They are not liking what they're saying.
	Hillary is supposed to be the one.
	She's going to go in, do some deals with the bank.
	She's going to, you know, take whatever money she gets.
	She gets a big bunch of dough and the foundation and then she's a happy camper after, you know, the economy collapses.
	It's all rock and roll from there.
	It's all figured out in advance and this Trump joker shows up and somehow...
	Ruins our party.
	I mean, the closest this ever happened in the past was when Huey Long was a populist candidate to run for president.
	I think he was going to go after Roosevelt at the time.
	And they had to assassinate him.
	Yeah, that is the worry with Trump.
	He's wearing a vest, though.
	You see it clearly.
	Yeah, he's definitely wearing a vest.
	And he's got a pretty good little group around him.
	And I think he's, you know, with the modern surveillance and the rest of it, I don't know if he can keep doing these big rallies.
	Well, have you seen the Bernie Sanders rallies?
	I think they're equal, if not bigger.
	Oh, I think they may be bigger.
	Bigger.
	Complete media blackout.
	Yes, it's hilarious.
	No, it's a complete black.
	And Gary Johnson is polling at 10% in a potential three-party general, which is interesting.
	Yeah, well.
	It's just polling.
	But let's stop.
	Don't cover any of it.
	Someone sent us an email with a link.
	It was on some podcast or something where you can hear just the audio from the libertarian debate.
	That's how pathetic it is.
	It's so pathetic.
	The audio in a podcast.
	The people don't understand that...
	From a mic in the back of the room.
	Well, apparently it's good this time.
	But you're being jacked.
	And you're buying into it.
	Anyway.
	With that, I believe I would like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C. Where the C stands for Clinton 3x3.
	Dvorak.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	In the morning, our ships to the sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to the chat room, who are very helpful, usually very helpful.
	Today they are.
	Thank you very much, noagendastream.com.
	In the morning to our artists, who always help us out with the fabulous artwork.
	For 827, it was Pono Geek who brought us the artwork.
	This was the Elboob And it was the Shake It, Wipe It doors.
	Which was just kind of a nice piece of art.
	Yeah.
	It was something new.
	It was a new one.
	Instead of sit, stand, shake it, wipe it.
	I kind of liked it.
	It was cute.
	In a bathroom humor kind of way.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can submit your art and look at all the other art that people submitted.
	Some good ideas in there.
	And just good to smoke a doobie and look through that art.
	Guaranteed hilarity.
	So we have a few people to thank, very few, and we didn't have anybody come in at an executive producer level, so thus the highest associate executive producer gets named.
	Oh, executive, yeah.
	So we had no exec, only associate.
	No, no, no.
	We actually have two people, though, that will show up as executives because they both came in at the exact same amount and the highest amount for the associates.
	And starting with Robert Bruckner at 23456, In Gilbert, Arizona.
	I knew that would pay off for him.
	ITM, an extra donation for an exceptional show, 827.
	Elboob, please allocate house-building karma as the missus and I settle into Gitmo Desert South.
	No jingles needed.
	Okay, we'll play a karma for him and for Sir Otaku after we do, because they are...
	Together we'll be executive producers.
	Bumped up.
	Right.
	Well, no, he gets his own.
	He said he wants karma.
	He didn't want jingles.
	Oh, I gotcha.
	You've got karma.
	I'm sorry.
	Yes, good point.
	Karma's not some plain old jingle curry.
	Yeah, jeez.
	What am I thinking?
	You get borderline clip of the day and it goes to your head.
	Gotta go back later in the show.
	I tell you, I'm like boxer now all of a sudden.
	Surotaku, also 23456 from Louisville, Texas.
	I love the best podcast in the universe.
	You guys keep me up to date with what's really going on.
	Uh...
	While the mainstream tries to distract us with three-ring circus going 24-7.
	Can I get some Mac and cheese karma and a little girl yay?
	That's your otaku.
	Kilo 5 Victor Zulu.
	Yeah, K5VZ. Yeah, seven threes.
	Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie.
	You slaves can get used to mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Yay!
	You've got karma.
	Okie dokie.
	Bam!
	Phil Bennett, $222.33.
	He'll be the first associate executive producer officially in Grand Prairie, Texas.
	Two Texans in a row.
	We like the Texans.
	Just call me Phil Bennett.
	Okay, dear John and Adam, thank you for doing the show.
	I don't know where I would be without it.
	As a so-called millennial, I like that we have millennials.
	And we have lots of them.
	I find it odd that the show I relate to the most is hosted by Cranky Geeks.
	Or the Cranky Geeks guy and some MTV guy who is older than the guys I know as the old guys on MTV. Okay.
	I'm an old guy, apparently.
	Despite this, my friends and I have become enamored by the best podcasts in the universe, and we often discuss the topics of the show at length.
	Nice.
	We use the show as a guide to the news, as a guide to the weird SJWPC culture bomb that has assaulted our peers.
	It has become a topic of ridicule and good social lexicon, so there is light at the end of the tunnel, but I think it is far, far off.
	Ha!
	It'll take a little, a generation to deprogram everybody.
	Far, far off.
	In a galaxy far, far away.
	I'd like an ISIS in America James Brown jam sesh, followed by a Lucifer almost too delicious to believe.
	I'd like to pass my karma to Duval and Christian in the form of jobs karma.
	They should be living the dink dream, a double income, no kids, dream.
	But this jobs market is shitting on them hard.
	Again, thank you for the show.
	It really does make a difference.
	And it has a PS. Go ahead.
	You can read it.
	Oh.
	Hold on.
	I'm at the bottom of my screen.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	Let me get a scroll down.
	This is so odd to me why you can't read your spreadsheet.
	You were going to get a new monitor.
	You promised me three weeks ago.
	Yeah.
	That's in the works.
	Let me.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	Shall I just read it?
	No, no, no.
	Now that you got me ready.
	There we go.
	Okay, now I got it stretched and I have to go back up.
	Hold on.
	I know everyone gives me grief about this.
	Yes, dumb.
	No, I got no P.S. on here.
	P.S. While Adam is easily among the greatest producers slash engineers of all time...
	We all agree JCD is what really drives the entertainment aspect of the show.
	His comedic timing with sound effects is flawless.
	True.
	True story.
	Hashtag.
	Okay.
	Closer to the microphone when you do it.
	I don't know.
	I pushed it off.
	You are a comedic genius, John.
	It's annoying.
	Ow!
	Isis.
	Ow!
	To the gates of hell!
	ISIS. I feel good!
	It's almost too delicious to believe, my friend.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Okay, sorry that went all sideways.
	It's okay.
	Christopher Dolan of Brookline, Massachusetts.
	Sir Christopher.
	Sir Christopher Dolan, exactly.
	Please give me a shot at karma, keep up the great work, and thank you for the best podcast in the universe.
	You are welcome.
	You've got karma.
	Alright.
	Now we have Sir Chad Biederman.
	He's barren.
	And he sent in a check with a note.
	And the note is typed on a typewriter.
	Excellent.
	Which I think is extremely cool nowadays.
	I apologize for not donating sooner.
	There's no reflection on the show.
	I've listened since before episode 200, and I've seen it steadily improve into something truly special.
	When I started listening, no agenda was simply buffo.
	Now it stands apart as the best show in all creation.
	Buffo is one of those old terms from the 20s.
	It means a hit.
	It's a hit.
	It's buffo.
	It's like, oh man, I'm blotto.
	It's in that same era.
	Now it stands apart as the best show in all creation.
	I should read that again.
	I did.
	Your dedication to the show Working on Vacation?
	Huh?
	Oh my.
	What is that?
	The excellent sound quality, the great content.
	You deserve far better than the donations you've been getting lately.
	Oh, thank you.
	I think that's true.
	That's very good.
	Louis C.K. beat two corporate media empty suits on Jeopardy!
	last night.
	That pretty much encapsulated how much shit those guys have on the shelf.
	I didn't see that.
	And it made me better appreciate the two of you.
	You are reality correspondents.
	Oh, I like this.
	I like that.
	Reality correspondents.
	We are in reality.
	Reminding me how to think critically two days a week.
	Little by little, I've been supplying insights to my friends that have led them to stop taking things at face value, too.
	Sure, they're drinking more now, but they are happier as a result.
	Then he says, I'd eat bees for you.
	Baron Chad Biederman in Guam.
	He's in Guam.
	Nice.
	And he is not around.
	Does he need a karma or anything?
	He doesn't say, but I think karma would be in order.
	I think it is always in order.
	You've got karma.
	And for people who are new to the program, the karma thing was made up by the producers.
	And if you're listening, if you're not a producer, you will be eventually.
	Everyone turns into one.
	Whether it's finance or artwork or jingles or just stories or just feedback or information or something you know.
	That's part of what I know Agenda Network is all about.
	What was I saying?
	B12. You're giving the history of the karma.
	Ah.
	The karma hit.
	The karma hit.
	It actually...
	Appears to work, but if I just send you an mp3 file with the karma jingle in it, it's not going to work.
	Somehow...
	It's like the rain stick.
	It's like the rain stick.
	It's the collective consciousness of all these people.
	I don't know.
	All thinking positive thoughts.
	I think it matters.
	Theremin.
	I need to have that on instant standby.
	Theremin.
	Yes, it is exactly how it works.
	Yeah, man, it's like the rain sticks.
	When everyone hears them, they're broadcast through the interwebs, and it changes the weather.
	Okay.
	Now, I want to mention, add on to that little thing about the karma, that it really took off.
	Actually, it was kind of a backwards thing.
	Someone sent in the karma jingle.
	Yes.
	Because we were giving...
	I don't even know how we were doing it before that jingle came in.
	Because when that came in, that's the thing that triggers the karma.
	I would love to know who...
	Yeah, it is Pavlovian.
	When you hit the karma jingle, people know about it.
	I think it actually awakens karma in you.
	And you somehow distribute that to the person who requested it.
	Yeah, that's exactly right.
	That's exactly how it works.
	Yeah.
	Hey, who am I to question karma?
	Yeah, who sent in that?
	We used to know, and now we don't.
	I think they're probably, man, overboard, which would be the irony of the whole thing.
	Yeah, it would be.
	Okay.
	Anyway, I want to remind people, we do have a show coming up on Sunday.
	This is kind of a light Thursday, so if you can help a little more on Sunday, go to Dvorak.org slash Annie.
	It's the easiest way to do it.
	We've also played around with a little thing called PayPal.me.
	Yeah, you've read about that.
	What's going on?
	I don't know if that's really helpful.
	I mean, how about Venmo?
	All the millennials are using Venmo, which is also a PayPal product.
	I have been told about Venmo, and I'm looking into Venmo and some other...
	There's a third one, too, but for now...
	Because you know what you can do with Venmo?
	Because I was reading about this, that although I checked, and it's not...
	it was probably more a hit on PayPal than anything.
	So if you have, you know, let's say you paid for lunch and then, you know, the bill was split and people Venmo you their portion, but you can also send a message saying, Hey, you know, you owe me.
	And it's like a, it's like a debit invoice.
	It's really weird because people are, you know, it's way to collect them bets.
	Yeah.
	You can do that actually with PayPal.
	You can invoice people.
	Yes, as John said, another show on Sunday.
	We need as much help as we can get.
	Please remember us at Dvorak.org slash N-A. Full-on thank you segment for donations coming up in a few, but in the meantime, go out there and prop get our formula!
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Hey, citizens.
	Shut up, slay!
	Now, I was going to save this until a little bit later, because it is technically a second half of show.
	Uh-oh.
	Yeah, but we ran over, so we're already way behind.
	So I want to do it now.
	But we've also been talking about millennials, and we've had an ongoing conversation about millennials, actually.
	And I would like to say, you know, people are now getting offended by us talking about this.
	Ooh.
	You know, millennials some, but people are like, oh, stop, you're inconsistent.
	You're huffing and puffing like a teenager.
	That's exactly what I feel like.
	That we're very inconsistent.
	What?
	Yeah, because then we're inconsistent about what millennials are.
	We're the most consistent twosome ever.
	There you go.
	Okay, so something has been floating around, and I believe it's more late-stage millennials that are falling into this.
	The 30-somethings.
	The late-stage millennials.
	It sounds like late-stage cancer.
	It probably is comparable.
	Late-stage millennialism.
	And it is something called the Mandela Effect.
	Have you heard of this?
	Oh, for some reason, I think I've heard of it, but I just glossed.
	I don't know anything.
	Okay.
	Now, the way it's being presented, and following up on the flat earth theories, this is the new one that's whipping around the interwebs.
	And the idea is, things you know 100% for sure, cultural, popular cultural things, Which, of course, we all know popular culture.
	If you ask, you know, name me ten U.S. presidents, no one can do it.
	But, you know, we can certainly talk about Star Wars.
	Or we can talk about Star Wars or any of that.
	Oh, yeah, Star Wars.
	So the idea is that you are confronted with some evidence of something you are absolutely sure...
	I'll give you an example.
	Um...
	The movie about Carrie Bradshaw and the TV series.
	Carrie Bradshaw, she's a writer in New York.
	What is the name of that series?
	I don't know.
	Come on.
	I don't know who Carrie Bradshaw is.
	I have no idea.
	How about Sex in the City?
	Ah, now there you go.
	You said Sex in the City.
	Sex and the city.
	Yes.
	And I remember it as sex and the city.
	I've always said it that way.
	But now, everywhere, there's YouTube videos and kids are, OMG!
	And they're saying that this is the shifting of the matrix.
	And only if you recognize these changes are you shifting with...
	What are you huffing and puffing about? - Yeah.
	This is big, so let me give you another one.
	It's dumb.
	Yeah, it is.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	I understand this if you're going to tell me this crap.
	Well, I have to do this quiz with you.
	Because I said sex in the city, when it's sex and the city, I can barely remember that it was even care or whatever.
	I don't care.
	No, but you are also not late-term millennial.
	Listen, don't get all upset.
	Just go with the flow and listen to the idiocy.
	Believe me, I'm against this.
	I'm not trying to say this is true.
	Actually, it proves something very different to me.
	The power of culture, of popular culture, disseminated through media, particularly television or any other type of video.
	Case in point.
	Sarah Palin did not say, I can see Russia from my house.
	That was Tina Fey who said it.
	But it might as well be truth right now.
	No one calls it bull crap when it's said, as a punchline.
	It just didn't happen that way.
	And I think that...
	Instead of, oh, I'm shifting, the matrix is cracking, and I can't believe it, I know they changed it!
	Another one, Looney Tunes.
	How do you spell tunes?
	Uh...
	I think it's T-O-O-N-S. No, it's T-U-N-E-S. Okay.
	It's always been T-U-N-E-S. Okay, fine, so what?
	Don't get mad with me, dude!
	You're the one that's promoting this.
	I'm not promoting, I'm deconstructing it, and you're being a dick and not listening.
	Okay, well, if you're going to do this, because I don't mind you doing it, I don't care, but if you're going to do this and I say, and you say, how do you spell, and I say T-O-N-S, or whatever, whatever misspelling I have, and then I say, so what, you have to at least take the position of defending the policy or whatever this idea is, and tell me why it's so what.
	Instead of getting mad at me for bringing it up.
	Because my point is that people are taking this seriously as some kind of change in the entire structure, the fabric of whatever we live in.
	And it's rampant on the internet.
	Let me give an example.
	That's how bored they are.
	Well, yeah.
	What is the famous line that Darth Vader says to Luke?
	I don't remember it.
	Well, I always thought it was, Luke, I am not your father.
	Or, I am not your father, Luke.
	I thought he said he was his father.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I am your father.
	See, I'm not supposed to play this game.
	But that's not what he says at all.
	If you only knew the power of the dark side, Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.
	He told me enough!
	He told me you killed him.
	No, I am your father.
	So he says, no, I am your father.
	Not Luke, I am your father.
	Or I am your father, Luke.
	Alright, so?
	Again.
	I know.
	But, okay.
	Let me just do one more.
	Are you sure that wasn't the family guy, the one you played there?
	No.
	How about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?
	What does the evil queen say to the mirror?
	I don't remember.
	You're just being...
	I don't remember!
	Not something like mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them?
	Oh yeah, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them?
	I summon thee.
	Speak.
	Let me see thy face.
	What wouldst thou know, my queen?
	Magic mirror on the wall.
	Who is the fairest one of all?
	So it's not mirror, mirror.
	It's magic mirror.
	Okay.
	And then finally, the song Mr.
	Rogers sang.
	Daily, I'm in the neighborhood, I'm wearing a sweater, I'm Mr.
	Rogers, I'm Mr.
	Rogers.
	No wonder none of this works on you because you have no cultural memory.
	It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
	That's the way I've always looked.
	Would you be my neighbor?
	Yeah, but it's not a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
	It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood, dude.
	It doesn't even fit right, this neighborhood.
	So he doesn't say the neighborhood, but this neighborhood.
	I'm not sure that he doesn't say the neighborhood in some other person.
	You went through all of them?
	No, of course not.
	Of course not.
	Of course not.
	So, all I want to point out, John, this is really why...
	Isn't this what our show does?
	It finds all these flaws, like, Trump never said such and such.
	So-and-so didn't say this.
	She said this.
	And then they dropped this other word.
	And we're doing this on a twice-a-week basis.
	This is what is so important.
	Because, however it happened, and I'm sure you could...
	Hold on, hold on.
	We're doing it to things that might actually have some importance.
	Whether or not some fictional character someplace said this or said that is at the bottom of the list of things that we should give a crap about.
	I am talking about the mentality of people who also listen to this show.
	The mentality of people being brainwashed and instead of understanding, they have been...
	Not maliciously, but brainwashed into believing something.
	You can apply this to everything that happens and everything you are being told.
	Does that make any sense?
	I'm playing this to show that people are actually thinking, not, oh, I was wrong.
	I was wrong.
	No, they're thinking, oh, this is so crazy.
	Things are changing in the universe.
	They must have tricked us.
	This must...
	It's about the mindset of these people.
	That's what I'm interested in.
	I'm glad you are.
	Now, let me ask the big question.
	What the hell's this got to do with Mandela?
	Ah.
	Because, for some reason, this started off with people who...
	And you can just ask a few people.
	There is a belief that Nelson Mandela died in jail.
	And people are convinced of it.
	Okay.
	Of course, he didn't die in jail.
	Well, didn't he?
	No.
	It makes more sense that he did.
	I'm sorry.
	I thought it was peculiar that they let him live.
	I'm sorry you don't follow my logic of just...
	To me, as a sociologist, whatever that is, I find it interesting that people refuse to believe they have believed something incorrectly for years or decades.
	Yeah, we all have.
	But besides...
	Not just saying, I can't believe I'm wrong, and I'm not wrong.
	Going so far as to say, no, no, the system's fucking me.
	That's the mentality that is interesting.
	Oh.
	Well, and I smacked my lip.
	Well, uh...
	I think I've seen this.
	I think I've seen, not this, whatever this is you're talking about, the Mandela effect, but I think I've seen this attitude that the system is screwed.
	This is during a depression.
	Thank you.
	There you go.
	Because they get depressed and they're looking for some excuse.
	They look to blame somebody other than themselves.
	Now, I will say that I can see a lot of people, you know, just...
	Not being able to cope with the situation.
	And people are working for way too little money.
	And they're getting screwed left and right.
	But it's a depression.
	This is what happens during these depressions.
	It's where you have to toughen up.
	I don't know what to tell you.
	Well, it's partially because of the depression.
	What you've done is you've lectured me on this.
	In a very, I think, nasty way.
	But you've lectured me on the Mandela.
	Now I know what it is.
	And I realize I agree with you.
	It's dumb.
	I didn't mean to lecture you.
	All I'm saying is that you were not open.
	You had a whole package.
	You did a package.
	Yeah, which you interrupted with bullshit.
	Just go with the flow, man.
	When you have something, I want to unpack it.
	Okay, I back off.
	You're just like, bah, bah, bah.
	If you think, holy crap, you stop me.
	Okay, I'm sorry.
	I didn't realize until about the third clip that you actually sat down, irked by this Mandela effect, to an extreme, where you'd actually get these clips.
	I don't know where you got that clip from Mr.
	Rogers, this neighborhood.
	That's another reason why I was a little irked, because I did all this work.
	Yes, you did a lot of work.
	You didn't let me unfold.
	You didn't let me unfold.
	You're right.
	I threw a wet blanket on the whole thing.
	Amen.
	We're good.
	Okay.
	Sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	If you introduced it differently.
	I said it.
	You weren't listening.
	You were not listening.
	I thought you wanted to get into a conversation.
	You were not listening to me.
	I said it very clearly.
	I'm against this.
	I understood your position.
	But I didn't realize that you had prepared.
	Because we never do this.
	Rarely.
	Once in a while we do it.
	But it's not so outrageous.
	You went deep.
	Because it's rampant.
	I wouldn't go deep.
	You had to get clearances for these clips.
	In the morning.
	All right.
	Let's do something else.
	Oh, Zika.
	Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
	Yes.
	Harry Reid is on the stump for Zika.
	We shouldn't leave town for Memorial Day recess unless we get money for the Zika crisis facing America.
	The weather's warmer.
	It's going to be 90 degrees in Washington on Friday.
	Summer's here.
	Under the present program, we're not going to get any money for Zika at our very best sometime this fall.
	That'll be a time when a lot of mosquitoes are leaving town.
	What?
	We need $1.9 billion to fight Zika, which is a total lie because it's not going to, well, a lot of it's going to National Institute of Health, $700 million.
	And that, of course, is, you know, to eat up.
	Your government will eat that up and pretend to make some kind of, I don't know, some kind of vaccine.
	Oh, this Zika thing is totally, now it's out of control.
	Now the mosquitoes are leaving town.
	That's not true.
	And they said we have to do it before recess because otherwise the mosquitoes leave town.
	We need $1.9 billion to fund Zika properly.
	Immediately, dammit!
	IBM's getting...
	We all know, if anyone's ever worked in the government, they don't get a $1.9 million and then poof, it all goes out.
	They dibble it out.
	It could take five years to move that money.
	You don't need it all now anyway.
	But it's all pre-assigned.
	They've been waiting for it.
	And it's these douchebag countries.
	Why doesn't anyone just say, hey, UK owes us $300 million or something like that.
	Some crazy amount.
	Hello, hello, hello, hello.
	That's what we should be going after.
	But these guys, they know it's bullshit.
	And that's why they just pretend it has to come from Congress, some other magical place.
	So let's play...
	So we had a doofus on the morning show.
	Oh, good.
	With Charlie Rose and...
	Charlie Rose.
	Charlie Rose, Nora, and what woman?
	Yeah, Gail.
	Gail.
	Gail.
	Oprah's girlfriend.
	Oprah's babe.
	And so this doofus comes on, and he's going on and on about what you can do to protect yourself.
	He starts off by talking about Deet.
	But he also, we play this clip.
	Here's what he recommends.
	This is unbelievable.
	This guy on this show, he's some doctor.
	He's at USC. He's like a professor at USC. That's the University of Spoiled Children down in Southern California.
	And so he's telling everyone that they should wear a mosquito hat.
	Which is a stupid looking hat with a bunch of shit hanging down.
	So here we go.
	The only chemical that really blocks mosquitoes from biting you and take every precaution you can.
	You really say when you're out in public you need to wear a mosquito net?
	Is that the recommendation?
	I think if your town has it and you are thinking of getting pregnant or are pregnant, yes, wear those mosquito nets.
	You can buy them for a couple dollars online and they work.
	Wear long sleeve cotton pants, shirts, cover things up, wear socks.
	Why are you so sure they're coming here?
	Well, because mosquitoes, these kind of mosquitoes are here in the United States.
	And we now know that these mosquitoes can get Zika virus very easily from biting somebody.
	And the world is flat, right?
	The World Cup happened, and then all of a sudden, people from Brazil went all over the world and transmitted Zika.
	So if somebody comes here and has the Zika virus and a mosquito bites them, then that mosquito can spread it anywhere.
	Exactly.
	One can lead to thousands.
	Virology 101.
	What about the Summer Games?
	What about the Summer Games, the Olympic Games, and the possibility there you have people from all around the world going to a place where they could contact Zika and then returning, spreading back out around the world with Zika contamination.
	It's a public health nightmare.
	We're all going to die!
	When we all look at this, we have to learn from it.
	Zika will be the first of many viruses over the years because the world is flat.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
	Did you hear what he just said?
	Yeah.
	The world is flat.
	What?
	What did he say?
	It doesn't mean the world is flat.
	Oh, okay.
	Look at this.
	We have to learn from it.
	Zika will be the first of many viruses over the years because the world is flat.
	Yesterday, they discovered the papers of the guy who discovered Zika in the 1950s.
	1950s.
	1918.
	A hundred million people died in the world from influenza.
	We lost 12 years off life expectancy.
	So viruses can have an enormous impact in the world and we need to pay attention.
	Dr.
	David Agus, good to see you here.
	Thank you so much.
	Gail, do you want me to get you the net?
	Do you want me to get you a net?
	You're still reading my mind.
	What color do you want?
	Yellow.
	What an idiot.
	Jeez.
	According to RT, let me see.
	It looks like, well they say, The U.S. could soon adopt an unconventional method of fighting the Zika virus, using a common bacteria to do so.
	The strategy would involve, this is the Bill Gates Foundation, would involve infecting mosquitoes with the bacteria and releasing the males into the wide.
	This is what Bill Gates is funding, this work.
	He's really into the releasing the mosquitoes.
	Shitty mosquitoes, yeah.
	This is just not a very good idea.
	IBM, of course, everyone's getting in on the deal.
	IBM is just using it for PR. This
	is dumb.
	Goodbye battery.
	Goodbye battery.
	No, it's SETI. It's the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
	It's goodbye battery.
	Goodbye battery.
	We all loaded up...
	Well, we have a couple of those crazy programs.
	You had the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
	Oh, it was like, oh, this is so cool, because it was the internet, early days.
	And we all loaded this app, and you would be processing blocks of signals.
	Not we all.
	Okay.
	Not we all.
	I did.
	But you know what I also loved back in the day?
	PointCast.
	Remember PointCast?
	Yeah, PointCast was the one of the...
	It was a screensaver.
	One of the classic...
	Bandwidth hogs.
	Bandwidth hogs.
	It was a classic failure, yeah.
	It was like a news screensaver, and we'd pull in feeds, you could click on checkboxes.
	Very advanced for its era.
	Very advanced.
	The problem was the network wasn't advanced.
	I mean, if you had, you know, 50 people in your company with PointCast...
	And all the screensavers kicked in around the same time and started sucking down these stories when we were on...
	What were we on?
	ISDN? Sucking in soot.
	ISDN. It would be like through a straw.
	Good times, though.
	Good times.
	Yeah, so this is bullshit.
	Goodbye, battery.
	And shame on you, IBM. Yeah, they shouldn't even be thinking about this.
	That's dumb.
	I thought the other thing was dumb.
	And now, of course, it turned out to be like a conduit for, you know...
	Malware.
	Well, what it probably is, if I were these guys, if I was IBM, I'd have everyone's phone processing Bitcoin.
	Hey, yeah, search for a cure for Zika virus.
	Meantime, you're churning out Bitcoins for IBM. That's what I'd do.
	That's very good.
	That's a perfect idea.
	Yeah, that's a great idea.
	Double goodbye Bitcoin battery.
	That shit spikes your processor.
	It's impossible.
	Well, here's one.
	Let's talk a little bit.
	I don't know if you have anything about the refugee crisis.
	Yeah.
	Well, I do want to do quick Euroland things.
	Yeah, let's do a quick Euroland.
	I got a couple of Euro stories.
	First, I'll say I don't have a clip, but Greece has now started clearing out the makeshift migrant border camp.
	There's probably a reason why there's no clips.
	It's probably really ugly.
	Well, they've moved them all into hangars and old...
	Which is where they wanted them to go anyway, and they gave them the choice, and now they have no choice.
	Well, they have moved them into these places, and they had...
	Deutsche Welle covered this pretty well.
	Okay.
	And they've kept...
	The reporters are not allowed in any of these facilities.
	So the reporters have made some...
	It turns out that some of these refugees have got a clue, and so they're going in because they live in there, and then they're filming with their phone camera.
	Yeah.
	They're inside and talking to people.
	They're coming out like stringers and talking to the Deutsche Welle reporter who's stuck outside the gate.
	They're probably making some dough at the same time.
	I hope they are.
	They should get paid for that kind of work.
	Anyway, so here's the thing.
	I got this clip.
	I don't know if you can turn the treble up on it.
	I don't know why it's so muddy sounding.
	But this is the No Agenda Quiz.
	And this is a quiz about refugees in Germany.
	And I've got the question.
	I'm going to let you guess the answer.
	And I'm going to tell you right now in advance so you don't feel this is to embarrass you.
	You're not going to get this.
	I wouldn't get it.
	Nobody would get this.
	The answer to this question or this whatever it is.
	Okay.
	Play No Agenda Quiz Refugees 1.
	Okay.
	...which was set on fire last summer is just one of about 23,000 crimes being blamed on right-wing extremists.
	The rate of politically motivated offenses surged to a record high last year.
	The attacks on refugee centers and refugees themselves have risen five-fold in the past year.
	We've never seen anything like it.
	The crimes include four cases of attempted murder.
	The minister also expressed concern about the rising incidence of break-ins, which numbered 167,000 last year.
	Damasio says gangs from one country in particular were carrying out a large proportion of them.
	Just because I flew off the handle earlier doesn't mean you have to disclaim everything like I'm a little girl who's going to bitch when you say I don't know.
	You weren't paying attention to the question.
	You're sitting there stewing.
	Okay.
	What's the question?
	Okay.
	The German character there, he says that there's all the trouble.
	160,000 break-ins.
	Most of these refugees come from one country.
	Somalia.
	Let me finish asking.
	Sorry.
	One country.
	What country is it?
	Somalia.
	No.
	Okay.
	Hold on.
	What are you doing?
	Don't look it up.
	No, I'm actually, I looked up to the sky, and I'm putting my finger on my chin, and I'm thinking, I'm thinking it would have to be nuts, so that's why I didn't choose Middle Eastern.
	I'm thinking more, oh, Morocco.
	Well, you're not even close.
	Of course.
	You won't believe it.
	But so play this good answer.
	Demacia says gangs from one country in particular were carrying out a large proportion of them.
	People from the Republic of Georgia have been applying for asylum in Germany to take advantage of welfare.
	Wow!
	And while their claims are being processed, they're breaking into people's apartments.
	These groups from Georgia are behind the greatest abuse of the asylum system.
	Wow!
	Wow!
	Yeah?
	Oh my God.
	I've heard nothing about this.
	Of course.
	Wow!
	Yeah.
	I knew it was a goodie.
	Georgia.
	Yeah.
	Georgia.
	The criminal element of Georgia.
	They just see a hole and they just take advantage of it.
	They drive right through it.
	Oh, man.
	Are they Georgians or are they coming through Georgia?
	No, they're Georgians.
	Oh, we need asylum.
	I can already see the headline.
	Tbilisi Terror.
	Terror in Tbilisi.
	Terror from Tbilisi.
	You have not heard anything.
	I was stunned by this.
	I'll give you this one.
	That was good.
	It wasn't because it was funny, but it was astounding.
	That's why I said you would never guess it, because I would never guess it.
	There's no way anyone would guess this.
	They don't play it up.
	Nobody knows.
	It's unbelievable.
	This is because we just had an election in Austria.
	Well, there's a problem.
	With Austria, at least at an EU level, as Junker the Drunker, I think it's, yeah, Junker the Drunker, has, let me see, what's the article here?
	He has, now he is the President of the European Union, has vowed to block all right-wing populists from power across the continent.
	And he will do so...
	By evoking the rule of law, and it's a specific...
	It's Article 7, I think.
	Oh yeah, Article 7.
	And this is one of these little things, like you have this huge agreement, the Lisbon Treaty, then has been voted on, and it's split up, and you've got protocols, and then there's this thing within the EU, which of course is not in the Lisbon Treaty, but it's in the framework of Mm-hmm.
	The Commission adopted the new framework in its 2014 communication.
	So they knew this was coming.
	This was probably with the rise of Marine Le Pen and Geert Wilders.
	Well, the Austrian, they dodged a bullet with Austria.
	Yeah, they did.
	Because they didn't have to deal with this character there that is very popular.
	But he lost to a green.
	Austrians are interesting because they stem from the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
	And they like to be...
	Culturally, I believe they like to be part of a bigger thing, so they, I think, naturally fall into the EU idea.
	And this old man, to call him that, 74-year-old professor of something, economics, I believe...
	A green, a greenie, running as an independent.
	One, beat the right-wing younger guy.
	He looks like a go-getter.
	He wants a Euroskeptic.
	He's out.
	Nazi.
	He's a Nazi.
	The Nazi, I tell you.
	Well, I guess that would be...
	No, no, but that's just what they call him in the EU. Nazis.
	They're all Nazis.
	Hitler...
	Yeah, well, he seems not to be a Nazi per se.
	He just seems like a conservative.
	But let's play that we can catch up on this because nobody in the United States knows anything about this because it's not important.
	Yeah.
	So let's play the Austrian Rundown.
	And you'd think for all the talk about Holocaust and Hitler and Trump being Hitler, you'd think people would think Austria is important in all that story.
	Ugly side to the world.
	The former Greens leader, Alexander von der Bellen, was confirmed.
	He could do donations on the No Agenda show.
	That was pretty good.
	Ugly side to the world.
	The former Greens leader, Alexander van der Bellen, was confirmed the winner of one of the closest ever elections, securing 50.3% of the vote.
	It was the smallest of majorities, but just enough for him to keep out his far-right rival, Norbert Hofer.
	A presidential walk across the lawn.
	After an intense campaign and a knife-edge vote, he's Austria's president-elect.
	There are not many Austrians who were left unmoved by this election.
	The responsibility is even greater with a result like this.
	A result with a razor-thin margin.
	Van der Bellen won the vote with just six-tenths of one percent.
	The election followed a lively campaign against his rival Norbert Hofer of the far-right populist Freedom Party.
	The 72-year-old economics professor Van der Bellen is the former Green Party leader.
	His win comes largely with support from urban voters.
	His candidacy was financed and organized by the Greens, but it was important to Van der Bellen to stand for election as an independent.
	Hofer, his rival, ran on an anti-migration and Eurosceptic platform.
	Van der Bellen campaigned for European unity and integration.
	In addition, his goal was simple.
	In six years' time, everyone in Austria should be able to say, I'm fine, or even better than six years ago.
	Wow, why don't you just say, hey, the Anschluss, that sounds good.
	So this is an interesting development, but it's not a surprise.
	I just think there's other guys that are going to be a player for a while, and there's no way six years from now they're going to say that they're better off.
	I could be wrong.
	If there's an EU, then.
	There's a lot of rumblings with the Eurocrats.
	Because the Germans seem to be doing an internal takeover.
	Martin Schulz is proposing a whole bunch of Germans to fill high-level spots.
	And these people are not elected?
	None of these people are elected?
	You know, your Euro-parliamentarians are elected, but they have no power.
	The only people who can make laws are the EU Commission, and they do it in secret.
	It's the funniest thing.
	They're doing a secret.
	And now let's vote.
	So he's trying to bring in Marcus Winkler to become Deputy Secretary General, and Monica Strasser, the next Budgetary Affairs Director...
	Can't they wait until the Brexit vote is done before they start pulling this crap?
	It takes a long time to get anything done.
	I think they do have to start it up.
	Meanwhile, I know you have a clip, but I'll play mine.
	Because I thought it was filled with interesting tidbits.
	To our French producers, to the people of France, I say, chapeau bas.
	You truly have spirit.
	Everyone's about to run out of gasoline in Paris.
	This is great.
	And we have the FIFA, a UEFA competition coming up in two weeks.
	Well, here's the report.
	With pumps at more than 4,000 petrol stations in France now partially or fully dry, the showdown between the government and the hardline CGT union over contested labor reforms has intensified.
	Nationwide blockades and a strike at the country's nuclear power plants is putting more pressure on the socialist prime minister, who insists the law won't be withdrawn.
	The text will now go to the Senate, where there's a right-wing majority which will put forward its propositions.
	And these will obviously be polls apart, not only from what we put forward, but also from what those demonstrating are expecting.
	So changing course is out of the question.
	There can always be modifications, improvements.
	After oil refinery shutdowns, strikes at nuclear sites have taken the standoff one stage further.
	Power cuts are not expected, but tension is growing.
	Here demonstrators are blocking access to a strategic bridge in Normandy.
	And this with France.
	The whole bridge is blocked off.
	I mean, hey Soros, get some French people if you want to really disrupt.
	And also other French people, they won't cross that line.
	That bridge is empty.
	There's maybe 40 people in a line standing in front of it.
	No one's trying to break through.
	No one's trying to crash over them like Americans do.
	Poised to host the Euro 2016 football tournament in two weeks' time.
	This union official says the government's decision to force the measures through the lower house of parliament without a vote killed any possible compromise.
	We didn't refuse to talk, he says.
	They forced it through and we're very sorry about that.
	There's a lack of democracy in discussion with workers.
	Already watered down and now causing divisions within government ranks, the reforms seek to make hiring and firing easier to tackle unemployment.
	That's what this is all about.
	It's all about the employment regulations.
	They have a lot of these rules.
	They have them in Germany, too.
	In the Netherlands?
	Oh, my gosh.
	In the Netherlands?
	Do you know that they have a magical 13th month you are required as an employer to pay your employees for not working?
	Every year?
	Yes.
	Every year, December, you get two-month salary, and it's called the 13th month.
	Oh.
	Yeah.
	And you have, as an employer, you pay everyone an extra bonus for not doing anything.
	We had a publication in Germany that we were starting up, and the rules in Germany, I don't know what the ones in France are, but I'm sure they're worse.
	You couldn't fire anybody except one or two days out of the year.
	There was a special day.
	Kind of like Obamacare, when you can sign up for insurance, a special day and you can be fired?
	Yeah.
	I don't know if that's still true.
	I like that.
	We should implement that as a national day.
	This is good.
	There was a lot of these kinds of rules.
	And I think the French have a slew of them where you can't fire people.
	It's crazy.
	In the Netherlands.
	Because I remember all this.
	This is when I went home.
	And this happened in the span of maybe 12 years when I was out of Europe.
	And I came back and I had a little company going.
	And then I was informed that I cannot pay myself zero bills.
	If I work at the company, I have to pay myself the equal amount or more as the highest paid employee.
	And even if I don't pay myself, then I still have to pay wage taxes on it.
	So if you didn't pay yourself, you still have to pay taxes on the amount you should have paid yourself, even though you didn't get any money?
	Yes.
	I know.
	That sounds like labor laws are all over you.
	And you have to get permission.
	Or you had to.
	Maybe it's changed.
	You had to get permission to fire someone.
	Had to go to the Arbeitsbüro.
	And then it had to go to the judge.
	And then the judge would wait for a month or so.
	And then would say, well, okay.
	I think maybe you should give this person a year and a half severance.
	I kid you not.
	Yeah.
	The French don't put up with any changes to these rules.
	Well, you know, if Bernie Sanders has his way, we'll have it all here.
	Well, yeah, that's true.
	Those are the kind of rules that we'd implement.
	Although the UBI, the Universal Basic Income, I think really we need to keep our eye on that.
	I guess June 5th, Switzerland has a referendum about UBI? Yeah.
	Well, that'd be the experimenter.
	Yeah.
	Well, they could actually work fine.
	Yeah, I was gonna say they can pull it off.
	No problem.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	All right.
	Any other euro news?
	Yes, I have Nigel Farage regarding the Brexit as, of course, the propaganda is incredible.
	And I've received emails from producers who are also on the stay camp saying, hey, my business is in trouble or could be in trouble if we don't have agreements with the rest of the EU, which I have because of the European Union right now, then it's going to be a big hassle and could ruin my business.
	And of course I'm sympathetic to that.
	I personally believe you'll do better outside, but no one really knows.
	Did you get better outside before?
	Seemed to be okay.
	Seemed to be okay.
	Anyway, here's Nigel in the European Parliament spouting off.
	In my long years here, the introduction of a currency that's impoverished the Mediterranean.
	I've seen the idealized Schengen area lead to the free movement of Kalashnikovs.
	And every single week, a month, we see the attempt to create a single state of Europe, which, of course, the European peoples don't want.
	But the EU's common asylum policy is the lowest ebb for policy yet.
	Chancellor Merkel took the cork out of a champagne bottle and said anyone could come and now you're trying to put the cork back in and realising it's not possible.
	So you've turned to somebody else to sort out your own problem.
	The guy is great.
	He's a master of prose.
	The notion of the champagne bottle cork, because we've all opened champagne bottles.
	It's much better than you can't put the cork back in the bottle.
	When you say champagne cork, it really works.
	Yeah, because you know the thing flares out 90% of the time unless it's very old champagne.
	Yeah, it's a joke.
	Problem.
	So let's talk turkey.
	Nice.
	Nice.
	They have taken your weakness and they've now decided they're going to blackmail you.
	Not only do they want 3 billion euros from you this year, they're going to want 3 billion euros from you every single year.
	And in return, they've given absolutely no guarantees whatsoever that they will stop people from coming or indeed take people back.
	And they've managed to persuade you, whatever the Commissioner says, into offering them, by October next year, visa-free access for 75 million people whose average GDP income is half that of the poorest EU member state.
	I guess what you're doing is you're saying the way we'll stop illegal immigration is to make it all legal immigration.
	Exactly.
	And if that doesn't take the biscuit, now you're going to fast track Turkey to be an EU member.
	So let's just think about that.
	A country, 97% of whose land mass is in Asia, apparently you want to join Europe.
	It is a country that appears to be keener on bombing the Kurds than it is on taking on ISIS.
	It is a country that has turned a complete blind eye to ISIS fighters travelling through its territory.
	It is a country, according to the Pew Institute, whose poll last week showed that 8% of those 75 million actively encourage and support the aims of ISIS.
	It is a country directly and closely linked with buying ISIS oil and we will finish up bordering Syria and Syria.
	Iraq and Iran.
	It is mad.
	It is the most dangerous decision the European Union has yet taken.
	I'm sure the British Prime Minister will be delighted.
	He's campaigned for this since 2005.
	To me, Without any of the other debate, if there was one single reason why Britain should, in this referendum, vote to leave the European Union, it is the folly of political integration with Turkey.
	It is not only stupid, it is damned dangerous.
	Yeah.
	Don't know if it's going to help, but there you go.
	It's not.
	We've already figured that out.
	You know, that's...
	I still...
	I know you're on the fence.
	I'm dead, you know.
	I have hope.
	I have hope.
	I have hope for my friends in Gitmo Nation East.
	A lot of hope.
	Don't have a lot of hope here.
	Mainly because of the following bill that has...
	Is this still European news?
	No, I'm sorry.
	Do you have more Euro news?
	Yes, I do.
	Oh, I'm so sorry.
	Do not start to drift.
	I was transitioning.
	I think that this is an interesting story.
	Let me see.
	I think I may have two European.
	Well, there's a couple.
	I have two European.
	Since we're talking about Germany, let's talk about this interesting thing that they're requiring that we don't even do if we want to let Mexicans in the country become Americans.
	There's ways of doing that.
	But I think the Germans are actually kind of interesting because they're so rigid about this.
	Play this.
	Germans must speak German, correct?
	Germany's coalition government has approved a milestone new integration law tonight.
	It is designed to get refugees working and to make them part of German society.
	But the Chancellor Angela Merkel and her cabinet, they've laid out some strict conditions for newcomers.
	They'll receive long-term residence visas only if they prove that they can support themselves and have a good knowledge of German.
	It also enables states to decide where refugees can live for up to three years.
	And it cuts benefits to refugees who refuse to learn German or attend integration courses.
	Critics say the law further reduces the rights of refugees here in Germany.
	The legislation now goes to Parliament for approval.
	What a tragedy.
	They tried this in the Netherlands and there was a lot of, oh, you have to speak Dutch.
	What it results in is everything in two languages.
	Every sign, everything is in two languages.
	That's what it results in.
	How does it result in that?
	I'm just telling you what the reality is.
	Because they have to learn.
	So it's very simple.
	So you read your language, then you go, oh, this is German.
	Okay, I don't give a crap.
	Alright, the last clip I have, that's not good.
	the last clip i have which is that i think is this is the kind of to me this is a symbolic clip because this is telling us the kind of bull crap that we have to put up with uh and you know in the end of kind of corporations have to put up with i'm glad you have i'm glad you have a clip of this it It was on my story list.
	Good one.
	It's France who does this shit.
	Well, this I think was one of the EU bureaucrats, but I'm sure France had something to do with it.
	But this is the kind of crap that we're going to have to live with, and this is not a good thing to me.
	Netflix is being forced to become what, Daniel?
	More...
	More continental, you could say.
	More European.
	Intersectional.
	Well, you might think it natural for an American streaming service to show mostly American content.
	But the EU says that firms like Netflix and Amazon could be crowding out European shows.
	That's why they want to impose a 20% quota, forcing streaming services to offer more European programming.
	Isn't this what TTIP was all about?
	Was it all about Hollywood?
	Online streaming services offer a wide range of program categories, TV series, documentaries and thrillers.
	Now the European Commission wants to force Netflix, Amazon and the like to make sure that at least 20% of their content is produced in Europe.
	The Commission wants to counterbalance the huge glut of U.S. productions.
	We think European film culture, meaning European content, should be proportionally available on the channels European citizens can watch.
	It's a form of indirect support for European films.
	And we think that 20% is a very reasonable number.
	So users' taste will no longer be the only deciding factor.
	A quota will help things along.
	But the plans still have to get past the EU parliament and member states.
	On top of that, some as yet to be named EU countries could also be forced to give financial support to the European film industry.
	Netflix is skeptical about Brussels' plans, but doesn't expect them to cause problems.
	With Marseille, it already has a large French production in its catalog, and a German series will follow in 2017.
	Amazon is planning to do the same.
	Ah, that's great.
	I just see Netflix jammed with Tatort and Louis de Funais.
	That's what I would do.
	Just buy an old, shitty catalog cheap.
	Yeah, well, a lot of the stuff on there is old crap.
	Yeah, that's what most of Netflix is.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Buy an old catalog and get your 20%.
	By the way, 20% today, 30% tomorrow.
	You know how this works.
	And for those of you who got the Louis de Funet reference, way to go.
	Benny Hill.
	There's another one, but that's...
	Benny Hill?
	Benny Hill.
	There's European content.
	Monty Python.
	Monty Python.
	You can get that cheap.
	Yeah.
	That's very cheap.
	European content.
	I'm sure there's some, you know, Jerry Lewis stuff that would qualify.
	All right.
	As far as I can go with the European stuff today.
	What was the propaganda outfit called in Nazi Germany that Goebbels, was it Goebbels?
	Yeah.
	Goebbels rant.
	What was that called?
	It didn't have a name.
	Why don't you look that up while I run through this?
	Let's see if I can find anything.
	There's a House bill right now.
	It was a Ministry of Propaganda.
	It was something like that.
	House Bill 5181.
	To counter foreign disinformation and propaganda and for other purposes.
	Here we go.
	The short title could be called the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act of 2016.
	It is the sense of Congress that foreign governments, including the governments of Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China, use disinformation and other propaganda tools to undermine national security and objectives of the United States and key allies and partners.
	The Russian Federation, in particular, has conducted sophisticated and large-scale disinformation campaigns that have sought to have a destabilizing effect on the United States' allies and interests.
	The challenge of countering disinformation extends beyond effective strategic communications and public diplomacy, requiring a whole-of-government approach.
	This is an Obama term.
	A whole-of-government approach, leveraging all elements of national power.
	The United States government should develop a comprehensive strategy to counter foreign disinformation and propaganda and assert leadership in developing a fact-based strategic narrative.
	And an important element of this strategy should be to protect and promote a free, healthy, and independent press in countries vulnerable for foreign disinformation.
	So, what do you think they want to do?
	It was the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.
	Oh my God.
	Write that down.
	The Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.
	Today that's called the Center for Information Analysis and Response.
	It's the same thing.
	Not late in 80 days, the Secretary of State shall, in coordination with the Secretary of Defense, the Director of National Intelligence, the Broadcasting Board of Governors, and other relevant departments and agencies establish a Center for Information Analysis and Response, also known as the Ministry of Truth.
	The center to lead and coordinate collection and analysis of information on foreign governments' information warfare efforts, including information provided by recipients of information, access fund grants awarded, and other sources, and to establish a framework for the integration of critical data and analysis on foreign propaganda and disinformation efforts.
	Okay.
	So they're putting together the center, and the center consists of intelligence and military.
	because, you know, obviously we need those guys to tell us what the truth is.
	Developing and disseminating fact-based narratives and analysis to counter propaganda and disinformation directed at United States allies and partners.
	This is what they have to do.
	Identify current and emerging trends, inform propaganda in the use of print, broadcast online, social media, support for third-party outlets such as think tanks, political parties, and non-governmental organizations, and the use of covert or clandestine special operators and agents and the use of covert or clandestine special operators and agents to influence targeted populations and governments in order to coordinate and shape the development of tactics
	techniques, and procedures to expose and refute foreign disinformation and and proactively promote fact-based narratives and policies to audiences outside the United States So they're going to be funding NGOs, think tanks, what we already do, but it will now come coordinated.
	So instead of it being just the State Department or USAID, although probably USAID will still be the funnel for the money, they're saying it right here.
	They're saying we will fight propaganda in your country, what we consider to be your propaganda, we will fight it in your country with NGOs and think tanks.
	No wonder Putin kicked him out.
	Yeah, smart move.
	And then I have down here, okay, so the authorization of appropriation is always interesting.
	The money.
	There's authorized to be appropriated.
	Oh, by the way, the Broadcast Board of Governors, they're running this center reports to them.
	Yeah, we talked about them before.
	Yeah, these are the guys who run Voice of America, all of these websites and news organizations, all of this phony baloney.
	And I think they're probably in bed with Soros to some degree.
	So this is authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary of State for fiscal years 2017, 2018, $20 million.
	And here's what it's for.
	To support the center and to provide grants or contracts of financial support to civil society groups, journalists, non-governmental organizations, federally funded research and development centers, private companies, and academic institutions for the following purposes.
	To support local independent media who are best placed to refute foreign disinformation and manipulation in their own communities.
	I think they're missing the boat by not bringing in podcasters, but okay.
	If you just want to keep it in non-governmental organizations, fine.
	Yeah, they should bring in podcasters.
	This is the Ministry of Truth.
	Public Enlightenment.
	This is like illegal.
	This is like subversive activity in other countries.
	Well, it's not illegal.
	It's not illegal in our country.
	No.
	But I guarantee it's illegal in China.
	Yeah, I mean, they're telling you right here, you can't trust journalists.
	Don't just put a target on the head of a journalist if you know that some piece of 20 million is going to journalists to combat your disinformation.
	I guess they've given up on trying to protect the group.
	Unbelievable.
	Yeah, that's not good.
	Yeah.
	I like the Ministry of Public Enlightenment.
	I think it's better than Ministry of Truth.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, we're open-minded here at the No Agenda show.
	Wouldn't you say?
	Yeah, we'll take the money.
	I'm going to show myself the Lord by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	Podcasters get no respect.
	No respect, I tell you.
	Sir Hugger of Kitties.
	We want to thank a few people, including Sir Hugger of Kitties and Zondam.
	Uh-huh.
	Netherlands.
	One, two, three, four, five.
	That's interesting.
	Says, thank you, sirs.
	Thank you, sirs.
	Thank you, sirs.

	From Starfleet Command and Official Letterhead.
	United Federation of Planets.
	Dear John and Adam, please accept my pittance in support of the show.
	I have enjoyed your discussion about the Russians hacking into Hillary Clinton's email server.
	I think they will...
	Hang on to these emails hoping that Hillary is elected.
	Then they can manipulate her by threatening to release the emails.
	Maybe.
	Sir Donald of the fire bottles.
	W-A-6-O-M-I. Seven threes.
	Seven threes.
	Alright.
	Anonymous comes in with $113 and it raises...
	Why don't you read that and see if there's anything in there?
	$113.33 from San Francisco.
	I'm happy to contribute to support the best podcast in the universe.
	I sent in my $113.33 donation over PayPal today, but please keep my name quiet, Don.
	Also, I want to offer a few words of encouragement.
	Do you want me to read this whole thing?
	Yeah, I guess I do.
	I don't agree with everything you guys say, but so what?
	I want deconstruction, not a safe space.
	And the deconstruction you provide is very valuable.
	You protect me from the media idiocracy and boost my ego because a number of times your analysis has made me the smartest person in a room full of people who think that network news isn't an oxymoron.
	Thanks guys.
	I'm a fan.
	I don't know how the doxymoron word works in there in that sentence, but okay.
	News on a network.
	Eh, it doesn't quite work.
	I agree.
	No, it doesn't work.
	It's the wrong use of the word.
	Sorry.
	But otherwise, we're happy you're hitting people in the mind.
	Yes, we're pleased.
	We're pleased.

	Nick is going to get a nighting.
	He says, honored to support the show in this small way, and would humbly like to request Sir Nick of the Floppy Dorsal.
	Yes.
	Absolutely.
	Looking forward to that.
	Floppy Dorsal.
	These are all $50 donors, name and city.

	I don't know.
	Where's BSB? BSB in BN? I don't know.
	Oh, Brunei.
	Oh, he's in Brunei.
	Then he says, okay, you got me with the coat hanger cat, damn you.
	Your Brunei listener is moving back to Gitmo Nation East soon.
	What was the coat hanger cat?
	Was that some gag?
	Oh, yeah.
	You didn't look at the newsletter.
	Oh, yes, of course I did.
	The cat trying to...
	I just thought it was a typical dumb cat.
	You've also changed your schedule on me, which is a little jarring.
	When at 1 a.m.
	I get newsletter, please approve.
	This is not normal.
	Yeah, I had to go to the DMV. Oh, no.
	So I had to do things in advance a little bit.
	Travis Salisbury in Chicago, Illinois.
	Marta Kallstrom in Portland, Oregon.
	Shad Rich and you know what?
	Donald Napier in Oviedo, Florida.
	Brian Evans, Parts Unknown.
	Sir Ed Zalo in Rustrevor, Australia.

	Oh, okay.
	Now we've got a birthday coming up for somebody there.
	Matthew Comstock in Walcott, Connecticut.
	Lucas Lundy in Tacoma, Washington.
	Sandy Geisler in Watkinsville, Georgia.
	Sir Bogdan LeCendro in Roanoke, Texas.
	Great name.
	Sir Brian Kaufman in Phoenix, Arizona.
	And that concludes our list of well-wishers and $50 donors.
	And everyone in between.
	I want to thank them all and people with lesser amounts also.
	Yeah, I picked up an email from Tom Green who says, I sent in an additional $11.26 this month to announce that my smoking hot wife and I are expecting the newest human resource on November 26th.
	Could I get a bit of healthy human resource karma?
	Why?
	Yes.
	Oh, in case you're wondering, we aren't going to know the gender of the resource out of respect for Z's privacy.
	That's pretty funny.
	All right, thank you everybody so much.
	It's highly appreciated.
	You are the producers that really keep us going, and of course, everyone who sends in amounts under $50, usually for reasons of anonymity, but a lot of monthly subscriptions, weeklies, or by show.
	Please take a look at our donation page for that.
	I think I owe a couple of people a karma here.
	You've got karma.
	What's that?
	What's that?
	I want to include Eric Newman in that karma system.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah.
	And with that, we go to the birthdays.
	Belated birthday.
	Happy birthday to Eric Newman, who turned 29 on the 24th.
	And Sir Ed Zello says happy birthday to his darling wife, Michelle.
	She turns 50 today.
	Happy birthday.
	Say hi to Sarah Forrest from all your buddies here at the Best Podcast in the Universe.
	It's your birthday, yeah!
	That's what we say in Holland if you turn 50.
	You see Abraham if you're a man.
	You see Sarah if you're a woman.
	I have no idea where it comes from.
	Uh, what we do have- Ow!
	Ow!
	Sorry!
	Ow, shoot!
	That hurt.
	What'd you do?
	Did you just hit the wall with that thing?
	Yeah, I tripped.
	Well, I already have mine.
	This is where we are very proud to bring people into the round table of the No Agenda Knights and Danes.
	It is a pretty exclusive club, and of course, the higher you get into the ranking, the more protectorate you can claim.
	Today we have two people I'd like to bring up onto the podium, Nick Johannes and Alejandro.
	Gentlemen, please kneel before the sword.
	Both of you have donated to the No Agenda show in the amount of $1,000 or more, and I hereby proudly pronunciate the Sir Nick of the Floppy Dorsal and Sir Vasquez of the Mile High.
	For you gentlemen, we have hookers and blowers, rent boys and chardonnay, we got pork ribs and pale ale, cavernous and cabernet, hot pans and booze, wenches and beer, gaches and sake, spark And that's all at the round table.
	And of course we have a new entry.
	Poutine and rye whiskey and meat and water.
	It's new on the menu here.
	Provided by our previous nights from the last show.
	Go to noagendanation.com slash rings and Eric the Show will get it out to you as soon as possible.
	Eh, wow.
	I got this note, by the way, from Newman I have to read.
	He says...
	This is a note about his birthday party, or birthday, which we mentioned.
	Also, I met John at the birthday party at Sparks about a month or so ago, and I unfortunately gave him a typical gushing fan introduction.
	Quote...
	Oh, I've been reading your column this entire century.
	You're a real inspiration to me, etc.
	To which a probably drunk JCD replied with a very rote, I'm sure you have.
	I'm going to be a total dick in public.
	I can hear you saying that, too.
	Yeah, that's one of the two things I say when people come up with stuff like that.
	But the other one is, oh, you and my mom.
	Oh.
	And my favorite one is you get guys coming and say, you know, I've been reading you in PC world for 10 years.
	That's all?
	10 years?
	No.
	Well, 10 years, 20, it doesn't make any difference.
	I never wrote for PC. PC, man.
	That just goes to show the value of your name.
	Yeah.
	It did not help anybody in anything.
	Executive decision, let's move Tech News to Sunday.
	I'm all in on Sunday.
	I didn't think we should do Tech News except on Sunday.
	Okay.
	Because I have a good list of fun stuff that won't get discussed anywhere anyway.
	Oh, the comic book thing.
	Just wanted to mention...
	The social justice warrior, Black Lives Matter, LGBTQIAP is all over the place now.
	I heard from some of my comic book friends.
	What?
	I'm sorry?
	From some of my comic book friends.
	I have them.
	Captain America?
	What do you mean by comic book friends?
	People who read comic books.
	Oh, okay.
	I guess DC has the new 54.
	Yeah.
	Something.
	Yeah, I don't know exactly what it is.
	But in this, Batgirl is a lesbian, and we find out that her lesbian lover is actually a transgender.
	Okay.
	I would like someone to find this comic book for me.
	Oh, they would be at a comic book store.
	I know I have a comic book store right near the post office.
	It's New 52.
	D.C. New 52.
	Sorry, not 54.
	It's called D.C. New 52.
	New 52.
	This guy has all the stuff.
	I got the Obama one from him.
	Oh, good.
	I have collected a number of these comic books because God knows I need more shit in the house.
	I mean, are the comic book shows talking about this?
	I mean, do you listen to these podcasts?
	Do you listen to Andy and Notco comic book talk?
	I only do occasionally.
	Oh, so you haven't heard anything?
	No, but I'm sure there are buzzs.
	TSA under attack, of course.
	There was a firing of, what's the guy's name, Hoff or something.
	He got kicked out for these lines being too long and it all being messed up.
	And there was a hearing, and of course I was watching significant amounts of C-SPAN. This is the administrator.
	We played him on a previous program, Peter Neffinger.
	This is, now, coming through Schiphol Airport recently...
	I can attest to the sophistication of their carry-on luggage check and body check system.
	And what you'll hear described in this clip is exactly what they have, and it works quite well.
	The screeners there are much friendlier, in my opinion.
	But of course, ultimately, no one really did anything wrong.
	We just got rid of that one guy.
	We really need, you know, I think we need more money!
	I appreciate the promise of new technology to expedite screening, but can you preview some of what we can expect?
	Well, thanks for that.
	I do think we need to do a better job of both research, development, and incentivizing the private sector to come forward with ideas.
	Oh, man.
	Hey, hello, hello, money over here.
	Private sector, you're incentivized.
	Come on over here with some ideas.
	But here's an example, I think, of what we can see.
	If you look at the Atlanta airport today, we opened two new automated screening lanes down there.
	This is not something new.
	It's been in use in Europe for a number of years.
	If you think about a standard lane, you walk up to a lane and there's a table there.
	You put your stuff up on the table and you slide it along the table until you can engage the conveyor belt.
	This is a fully automated system.
	The bin returns automatically.
	It's got an RFID tag and a barcode.
	It ties it directly to you.
	There's a photograph taken of your stuff as well as an x-ray, and it takes off automatically.
	There are five stations at which people can line up, so you don't have to go single file.
	You can take five people at a time up to the checkpoint.
	They cycle in as they fill their bins up, and it goes through.
	What he fails to mention, that when you put your stuff in the bin, it actually drops onto a conveyor belt and moves away, and the minute that happens, another bin poops up out of the hole.
	We have a whole guy to do that.
	And it's always the guy who's the grumpiest.
	Yeah, you would be too at that job.
	I'd carry these shitty ass bins everywhere.
	If you look at increasing passenger volumes, at some point you reach capacity with a manual system and then you have to look to automate things.
	I think that the TSA needs to work closely with the system to get it more automated and to bring more technology in.
	We're also working with software companies to determine how effective machines can become at identifying...
	Hold on a second.
	I'm just thinking about the system as he's talking.
	I don't see how you can go any faster.
	If the conveyor belt is the bottleneck, you can't rush these bags through faster than the conveyor belt will suck them up.
	And then they stop at everyone.
	Ah, no.
	I'm sorry.
	No, no, no.
	There's actually two conveyor belts.
	And if so, you go through the x-ray, your bag goes through the x-ray, and it's like a rail system.
	And if something's been tagged, it flows over to one of four stations on the other side.
	It's kind of like a big oval.
	And you have your five, put your bags in the bin station, and then ones that have an issue are sorted off to the, and they pop up, and they literally pop up, and the photo that was, that came out of the, it's actually an x-ray picture, so the person who's not looking at it can say, okay, it must be this thing, I want this item, so they're not getting everything out.
	It works, it's sophisticated.
	And it's faster?
	Yes, much faster.
	For companies to determine how effective machines can become at identifying prohibited items so that you can put humans into the work that the humans do best.
	Which is getting out of my way.
	At the same time, moving machines out to what they do best.
	We're also looking at changing the way we do identity matching.
	When I look around an airport and I see all those kiosks that distribute boarding passes, There's typically some type of an ID reader on all of those.
	If you can get ID reading technology into there, there's things we can do that can automate the identity check process.
	Yeah.
	So the whole thing now just turns out to be one big IT scam.
	Automate everything.
	That's how we're going to get rid of the people.
	You know what?
	Maybe just the microchip.
	Approved.
	Invalid.
	Now they're going to do it through the airline check-in terminals?
	Where's the security in that?
	Because TSA's Inspector General Report showed that they did not even have the basic cybersecurity, not even the basic firewalls in place.
	You can get right, technically, you can get right into the x-ray machine, the body scanners.
	It's atrocious.
	And yet we all just stand like sheeps in the, oh, okay, that's what it is.
	9-11, 9-11.
	9-11, 9-11.
	And this was interesting about the difference between TSA and private companies.
	First, it's important to understand that even a private screening contractor works for the TSA. It's contracted to the federal government, contracted to TSA, and it's a TSA management staff that runs that.
	I think that's important because, from my perspective, the national security is a federal function, and you need national standards when it comes to that.
	In my mind, so when you look at performance, you know, it's roughly the same from a private...
	We train them to the same standards.
	In fact, they train at our TSA Academy.
	From my perspective...
	I love TSA Academy.
	What does it remind you of?
	Hamburger Academy, maybe?
	It reminds me of the Police Academy movies.
	In fact, they train at our TSA Academy.
	From my perspective, the flexibility I get with a federal workforce is, so this National Deployment Force I mentioned, these are TSOs who have volunteered to be deployable for surge events and for others.
	Surge events?
	Yeah, I know.
	Two military terms in there.
	Deployable for surge events.
	You know, like the surge in Iraq.
	The deployment force I mentioned.
	These are TSOs who have volunteered to be deployable for surge events and for others.
	But we have about 250 of those.
	I can do that with a federal workforce.
	I can't reach into a private workforce without working a contract issue.
	And so if I need to surge, it gives me the ability to do that.
	And I can also move personnel more rapidly from place to place as I need to.
	So from my perspective, that's a benefit as a manager of having a workforce that works directly for me versus contracted to me.
	Does this guy come from the Navy?
	I think he does.
	Why do you say that?
	Well, because he's using all these military terms.
	Well, why Navy, though?
	It could be from the Army.
	No, because I thought I remembered him being from the Navy.
	No, it could be.
	Sounds like a vicious Navy.
	Coast Guard.
	Coast Guard.
	Vice Admiral in the United States Coast Guard.
	Of course.
	That's why he's talking about deploy and surge.
	Oh, yeah.
	Coast Guard wants to be a big shot.
	Yeah, this is his own little force, his own little army that's going to protect the citizens of America by...
	Terrorizing everybody and yelling at them in the line.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yelling at them in the line, I tell you.
	You should put a drill sergeant in charge of this whole thing.
	That'd be better.
	I like a little Social Justice Warrior Black Lives Matter clip blitz.
	But clip blitz is your thing, so I'll just play a few.
	No, go with...
	No, it has to be because I called a clip and then you played, so it doesn't work.
	Yeah, it won't work.
	It won't work that way.
	But here's an interesting nugget I found out.
	In the United States, we've had...
	A big issue with the names of teams, particularly the Washington Redskins, as it being an outrage and racist and just horrible douchebags.
	Turns out Native Americans think a little differently.
	Well, there's been a lot of public controversy lately over the name of the football team here in Washington, the Redskins.
	Now a new poll by the Washington Post found that 9 in 10 Native Americans say they aren't offended by the Redskins' name.
	Aren't offended.
	The Post surveyed Native Americans in all 50 states over a five-month period ending last month.
	The Redskins are in a legal battle right now with the federal trademark office over whether the name is offensive.
	Even President Obama said the team should think about changing it.
	But team owner Dan Snyder celebrated the results of the post poll and continues to say the Redskins' name will never change.
	90% said we're not offended.
	This is...
	I don't understand.
	What happened to all those Native Americans we saw on TV? It was a pressure group that started with this just to harass this idiot owner, by the way.
	The guy's a horrible guy, according to the football insiders.
	Can't feel the championship.
	I think if they were winning, I don't think there'd be much of an issue.
	Anyway, they came up just to get some ink, and they did.
	And they said, all the Indians feel this way.
	And the Indians went, no.
	No.
	No, we don't.
	Well, they weren't asked during the beginning of this controversy.
	They never would have asked anyone.
	So these people just took it upon themselves to represent.
	Well, good on you.
	Good on you, the rest of the Native Americans.
	Screw those guys.
	Nice.
	I don't care.
	You call it anything you want.
	Well, it was also approached from the perspective of modern approach, which is if one person's offended...
	Yes, yes.
	If one person's offended, that's enough.
	We shouldn't offend anyone.
	Well, there's a lot of this going on.
	And if there's 10% of the...
	I would take it the other way.
	I would do that...
	10% of the Native Americans think this is a very offensive team name.
	It's unbelievable that many would be offended, but they are.
	That many is thousands and thousands.
	Let's change the name.
	You could do it either way.
	Yeah, you could do it that way, but be more truthful.
	I would have done it that way.
	Twerp Susan Rice did the commencement speech at Florida International University.
	This is a bonanza.
	Do they get paid?
	Some people get paid.
	No.
	The main payment you get for a commencement speech is a free diploma.
	It's a free diploma.
	And a cool gown and a funky hat.
	And you get to be on TV with your speech.
	I don't know.
	And I dislike the president.
	At least the parts of the commencement speech I saw.
	I think I saw the whole thing.
	I didn't like him, you know, politicizing it.
	And, you know, you want to instill hope and fire.
	You want to be inspirational.
	Inspirational, yes.
	Light a fire in these kids' ass.
	Or just blast the Republicans.
	Or like this.
	With brilliant and dedicated professionals across our government.
	So we must acknowledge that our national security agencies have not yet drawn fully on the strengths of our great nations.
	Minorities still make up less than 20% of our senior diplomats.
	Less than 15% of senior military officers and senior intelligence officials.
	Too often, our national security workforce has been what former Florida Senator Bob Graham called white, male, and Yale.
	I'm sorry, I don't see the inspirational message.
	What, you just slam into the audience for being white?
	Male and Yale.
	Well, this wasn't at Yale, was it?
	No, no, no, no.
	What the hell is she talking about Yale for?
	If I was in the audience, I'm thinking, what's she talking about Yale for?
	The whole thing is odd.
	Is she not where she is?
	No, you were right.
	It's just she wants to get a speech on TV. She's black, I think.
	No, I know she's black.
	And she wants to be relevant, I guess.
	She wants to get in the conversation.
	It's not appropriate for a commencement speech.
	Inspire!
	Inspire!
	Light the fire!
	My new favorite gay is Milo Yiannopoulos.
	Have you seen this guy now with the blonde hair?
	He's the Brit, conservative, loves Trump, wants to have Trump's babies.
	He's quite good.
	I don't know who you're talking about.
	I'm sure if I saw him I would.
	Let me look at a picture.
	Just Milo is enough.
	He's the guy that got unverified on Twitter because he's too controversial.
	What?
	You don't remember?
	Andrea, unverified.
	Unverified.
	What?
	Milo is also a sorghum drink I forgot about.
	And I forgot that Milo, the drink from Nestle, is sorghum.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, I forgot about that.
	Okay.
	Well...
	What's his last name?
	It's not coming up.
	Just a bunch of sorghum.
	M-I-L-O? Yeah.
	Here's the search term.
	M-I-L-O space G-A-Y. Stop using Bing.
	Stop using Bing.
	Oh, you're right, I am on Bing.
	What came up?
	A bunch of gay porn, a bunch of...
	No, no, stop going to your history.
	You need to go to Google.
	Yeah, funny.
	And then a bunch of pictures that are all blacked out.
	Okay.
	Well, anyway, he's fabulous.
	It's Yiannopoulos.
	Y-I-A-N-N-O-P-O-U-L-O-S. When I use Google and I just do Milo, I get him.
	So I don't know what, you know, Bing is stupid.
	It is stupid.
	I'm sorry.
	Anyway, go on.
	All right.
	Well, so he does these speeches, and he's very controversial, and kids are freaking out when he speaks at universities.
	And he was at, actually, he's Tina the Keeper's alma mater, DePaul University, I'd say, a fine, upstanding institution.
	I sent her this and said she should be very proud.
	So Milo's doing his thing, and then Black Lives Matter come in, very effective.
	And on the video, you see them, they weren't in the auditorium, they came marching in with whistles, which we've suggested in the past is a fantastic disruptor.
	You said this guy's blonde?
	Yeah.
	The picture I have of him, and it's Milo Yanilapalopoulos at LeWeb, He's black-haired.
	Well, he's gay.
	It changes all the time.
	Okay.
	That's what we do in the gay community.
	We change our hair color.
	Anyway, so I want you to just hear a little bit of this disruption.
	I want you to listen to the guy whistle.
	I cut out a whole bunch of this stuff.
	Listen to the whistle, and then, of course, I presume they're paid protesters.
	It's all anti-Trump.
	Trump's not on stage.
	They're not talking about Trump.
	And then one girl just goes crazy and starts screaming.
	Well, have a listen.
	The reason you can't see them is because they're not there.
	Nothing happens.
	I mean Hello darling Sir Please Sir Sir, please.
	Sir, please.
	we'd like to ask you to please sir please Now the girl comes up on stage.
	Is that what the guy's doing?
	Yeah, dump Trump.
	Oh, dump Trump.
	Dump on Trump or something like that.
	These people are in college, John.
	University.
	It's called DePaul University.
	She's hysterical.
	What's she hysterical about?
	I don't know.
	What's that?
	We've heard enough of this foolishness.
	Okay?
	Every time you hear this foolishness, it's followed by the blood on somebody else's hands.
	Dump the Trump!
	I mean, seriously.
	What is wrong with these people?
	Other than getting paid to do it.
	Well, some are getting paid, but some are just hysterical.
	It's weird.
	Let's see, which university is this?
	Did you see the picture of that woman on the airplane that went prone and she started having a fit at the pilot's door and she's pounding her feet and she's screaming?
	No, no, no, no.
	I want to see it.
	Like an adult temper tantrum?
	Yeah.
	That's a psychological problem.
	She has a problem.
	You think?
	Yeah, but I mean, it's media, it's pressure, it's the whole indoctrination.
	No, I agree, and I think a lot of it has to do with drugs, too.
	They don't want to talk about that.
	Oh, no.
	Oh, no.
	But this is not, this whole culture is not just an American thing.
	The professor at the University of Warwick in England says, parents who read to their kids should be thinking about when doing so, they are unfairly disadvantaging other people's children.
	It's called bedtime story privilege.
	I don't think parents reading their children...
	No, this has got to be, this is a joke, isn't it?
	You read it from The Onion.
	No, I did not.
	National Review.
	Bedtime story privilege?
	Yeah.
	This is insane!
	I don't think parents reading their children bedtime stories should constantly have in their minds the way that they are unfairly disadvantaging other people's children.
	And this is a different professor.
	But he also said, other things parents do give their kids the best education possible, like sending to an elite private school, cannot be justified in this way.
	Private school?
	No.
	At one point he even flirted with the idea of simply abolishing the family in a way of solving the social justice problem.
	He sounds a little out there, but he is from the University of Warwick.
	But since bedtime stories, stories, activities do indeed foster and produce desired familial relationship goods, you have to be careful.
	Because kids who don't receive that are therefore less privileged.
	So instead of everybody reading bedtime stories to their kids, people doing it should curb that enthusiasm.
	Huh.
	That doesn't surprise me.
	Why is this not really surprising?
	In the scheme of things.
	A lot of this got started, by the way, when you talk about this worldwide phenomenon.
	I think much of the social justice stuff and much of the crap that's going on started in England.
	There was a lot of this kind of making sure that certain people couldn't speak and rushing them out at the major universities in England.
	I think the whole thing may have started in England.
	There's really only one place you can truly exercise free speech in England.
	Speakers Corner.
	Yeah.
	That's the only place.
	That's technically true.
	So all of this, a lot of this started at University of Missouri.
	Mizzou.
	And now, oops, enrollment dropped off by 1,500 students.
	That's a lot.
	Who wants to go there?
	Exactly!
	Good call, guys!
	Yeah, because parents don't want to send their kids to a place that's being disrupted all the time.
	Eh, okay.
	Nothing we can do about it.
	Alright, final two bits.
	This is Jamal Smith.
	He apparently works at MTV News, my alma mater, and just loved how he, you know, how he talked about these protesters that were anti-Trump.
	Now, of course, these were actually violent.
	Actual violence occurred.
	A lot of people jumping on cars.
	I don't think this had happened at a Trump rally.
	We've had some skirmishes and some things.
	But this is how MSNBC and this jabroni just sweep it under the rug.
	I see a lot of people expressing their humanity in the face of a candidate who has really built his candidacy.
	People expressing their humanity against Trump.
	Are they taking their trousers off?
	What are they talking about?
	What does he mean by that?
	They're humanity, because they feel for humanity.
	That's why you jump on a police car and throw bottles.
	I see a lot of people expressing their humanity in the face of a candidate who has really built his candidacy on denouncing their humanity.
	And yeah, there are a few people out there who are not out there to actually protest, but at the end of the day, they accomplished their goal.
	They got on TV and they got their issues aired.
	They have grievances.
	It's not like it's mindless or they just want violence.
	They're speaking up against someone who's really attacking their community.
	You know, I think if you were a Latino immigrant, you would be, frankly, terrified and very angry.
	The reality of him is one of 17 versus he is the standard bearer.
	He's going to represent one of our major parties.
	It's frankly terrifying.
	Terrifying!
	Oh, it's terrifying!
	Well, I'm sorry.
	There's no excuse for that kind of behavior.
	Then, of course, it's exactly the same kind of behavior when the basketball team wins.
	I don't see the difference in America.
	And then finally, this has got to be one of my favorite...
	Expressing their humanity.
	It's sad.
	Wow.
	This was a quick MSNBC hit with a guy on location in Baltimore.
	Of course, we had this, you know, the judge dismissed one of the six cops, or seven cops, I guess there's six left.
	I think there's the second one that's gotten dismissed.
	Yeah, two, you're right.
	And now there's a couple of problems with the remaining cops.
	This is Freddie Gray.
	Who broke his spine, got severed in the cop car.
	Yeah, he got bounced around the back of a paddy wagon.
	So I guess one of the guys who got dismissed, you know, he was the one that chased after him on the bike, and they just held him until the other guys came.
	So it sounds reasonable.
	But the remaining six officers are, it's split, three black, three white.
	And one of the black officers is a woman.
	So this is, you know, it's hard to follow the narrative of, you know, this is clearly white people hating black people.
	So now it's shifting a little bit.
	It's all about cop culture.
	And where MSNBC takes it in this clip, where that cop culture is coming from is astounding.
	When you look at, and we can put the screen up, of the officers charged in connection with Freddie Gray's death, you see a number of African-American faces there, three African-Americans, three white officers.
	Is this, though, also about police culture, where you can have an African-American officer also be charged in connection with the death of a black person?
	Wow, my brain hurts.
	I don't know how to answer that because how can a black person hit another black person?
	Well, I mean, here's what you have to understand about Baltimore in terms of police culture.
	Nearly 90% of our officers do not live in Baltimore City.
	So you're having suburban values and mores that influence...
	What's a more?
	It's like a...
	It's like morals?
	No, it's a...
	It's kind of like values only spread thinner.
	It's hard to, you know, kind of like your belief system.
	It's a whole package of stuff.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, that sounds kind of cool then.
	I thought it was always values and morals, but mores.
	Mores is a word in us.
	Good.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	So you're having suburban values and mores that influence the policing strategy of Nearly 90% of the police force, African-American, are white.
	Our police officers don't live in our communities.
	They don't live in Freddie Gray's community.
	So there's no way that their culture is going to be...
	Now, John, I ask you, where is the influence coming from?
	Where is this bad cop culture coming from?
	Think Baltimore.
	Well, since it's a black-run city with a black chief of police and a black mayor and a black female mayor and a black district attorney and a black everything, I don't know.
	That's the conversation that is being had around this country.
	That is not an exclusive issue facing Baltimore.
	But that is a part of police culture.
	There's no way, for instance, if you watch The Wire...
	You see officers go into a community and when they hurt a boy in the eye, the residents in the show begin to throw something at the police.
	So officers who view that show before they begin to police in here in Baltimore, they're looking at something and they're saying, wait a minute, those people, those people are our enemies.
	And I think that's what sort of feeds I think Black Lives Matter should protest the show The Wire and take it off the air.
	It is clearly influencing police thug culture.
	This network, MSNBC, is absolutely a negative influence on the culture as a whole and useless and bad.
	And I would like to point out...
	You should be ashamed of themselves.
	The Comcast are the ones who own this thing.
	Yeah.
	Also, I need to point out that you could also say, and likely more real, that the true people who sit behind the television four or five hours a day and watch crap like The Wire, that they are inspired to throw stuff at the police because that's what they're seeing.
	But that didn't come up.
	So we can't blame the cops for being racist.
	Just blame them for watching The Wire.
	It's a good show.
	It is a good show.
	But apparently it's bad for business.
	It's horrible.
	Alright.
	You got anything else?
	Any more lame stuff from these guys?
	Well, I do have one clip.
	Depends on how much time you think I have.
	Well, if you've got one clip, let's do one clip.
	It's got to be a good one, because we've got to get out.
	Out on a high.
	Well, I don't know if this is good or bad, but let's play it, because I've been meaning to play it.
	I was watching CBS, this is not recently, it was a couple weeks ago, and then I figured that they brought in an ant, they did a whole antipot thing.
	Ugh!
	And I thought it was worth listening to just to show you how they like to, you know, we're going to, we don't like pot and we're going to make sure nobody else does.
	AAA is out today with a sobering report on driving high.
	Deadly crashes are up where weed is legal.
	Four states plus D.C. allow marijuana for recreational use.
	Medical marijuana is available in 20 more.
	Chris Van Cleve has more on this.
	It was not on my radar.
	And what it took to put it on my radar was the death of my 23-year-old child.
	It's been nearly three years since Mary Gaston's son Blake was hit and killed at a Bellevue-Washington intersection by a driver who was high on marijuana.
	He was laying in the middle of the intersection on the ground.
	He had a massive head injury, so he was bleeding out.
	In 2012, Washington became one of the first states to legalize marijuana.
	Now, a new study by AAA found the number of fatal accidents involving drivers who'd recently used pot more than doubled between 2013 and 2014.
	Why do you drive around smoking?
	You know that's not a good idea, right?
	Yeah, I do.
	The study also found currently there is no reliable test to determine the amount of marijuana in the bloodstream that leads to driver impairment.
	Jake Nelson is the AAA Foundation's director of research.
	Biologically, cannabis and alcohol are very different, and I think policymakers trying to do the right thing are trying to establish something like a.08 for cannabis, and there's just not science to support it.
	Researchers instead encourage training officers to detect drug impairment.
	This dash camera video shows a speeding driver cutting through traffic and struggling to maintain his lane.
	Now let me ask you this.
	Where's the weed at?
	I'm going to give you one chance to answer me honestly.
	Officer, honestly, to be honest, I smoke, and I just finished smoking my marijuana, which is probably why you smell it.
	A 2015 federal government report found crash risk associated with drugs like pot are highly influenced by other factors including age and gender.
	Scott, more than a dozen states are considering measures to legalize marijuana.
	Chris Van Cleve, thanks.
	We'll be back in a moment.
	We've noticed this.
	People who smoke and drive, they drive so slow if they cause a wreck.
	It's because there's driving too damn slow.
	Somebody rear ends them.
	Mimi says they're all over the place.
	You can just tell by looking.
	And I believe they drive quite cautiously.
	Yeah, they drive very cautiously.
	But, but, but, but, but.
	I would say, legalize pot, okay.
	But you also have to have Uber and Lyft and other ride-sharing services.
	This is the way to do it.
	If you want to get fucked up, that's fine.
	But taking away your Uber and all that stuff is bad.
	I agree.
	By the way, did I tell you about the numbers?
	One of our producers in ER here in Austin, he says clients were down 25% the first weekend, i.e.
	25% less people coming in messed up because they just weren't going out.
	It's hurting everything.
	Oh, you mean because of the stupid thing they're doing in Austin about Uber?
	Mm-hmm.
	Oh, so they're seeing a...
	A drop in actual commerce.
	Yeah, actual commerce.
	Yeah, it doesn't surprise me.
	But they got that Ride Austin thing.
	The local guys are trying to put something together.
	It's pretty cool.
	Yeah, it looks like a loser.
	Yeah, but at least they're trying something.
	I think you should combine it.
	An app where you buy your weed and Uber brings it?
	Smoke it with the Uber driver.
	That's a great idea.
	I'm telling you, man.
	Hey, man, you got the number?
	Ask the Book of Knowledge to order me a car, dude.
	We had a request for an ant's medley at the end of the show, so I've got that lined up for you.
	And we will return on Sunday.
	One thing is certain, we will bring you some tech news.
	Plenty to talk about.
	Plenty to talk about.
	Indeed.
	Including a prediction or two.
	I think I have a few.
	All right, everybody.
	Thank you very much for tuning in.
	Thank you for supporting the program.
	Another one coming up on Sunday.
	Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. Your support really matters.
	Keeps us on the air.
	Keep everything else coming.
	Use encryption if you can.
	And coming to you from the skyscraper, the Crackpot Condo in downtown Austin, Tejas, FEMA Region 6, In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I said there was something going on about ants at the beginning of the show.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
	Adios, mofos.
	I got ants.
	.
	I got ants.
	I don't know if you had ants.
	We had ant invasion.
	I was thinking if you desiccated a big pile of ants and then ground them to a powder like a fine grind of black pepper, we were having dinner and yeah, I got an ant somehow in the meal and I ate it.
	These things are peppery.
	I got ants.
	These ants, they don't need a lot.
	And then you see, you find all the ones that are roaming around you.
	Although I backed them off by doing the burning trick.
	Just torch them.
	And you leave them there.
	The only ant, there are occasional moments where there's an ant that you do not torch, and that's an ant that's carrying one of the dead ants back.
	I got ants.
	Ants.
	The only anted-dogation moment is where there's an ant that you do not torch and that's an ant that's carrying one of the dead heads back.
	Oh, no, you have to be, that's the guy you want to let go for it.
	Yeah, that's the guy, the guy, the guy.
	That's on the side of a hill.
	Do you think that hill is just one big ant's hill?
	No, it's mostly bedrocks.
	Bedrocks.
	That's on the side of a hill.

	Okay.

	What other modes do your ants have?
	We're special.
	Let's go.
	So, you know, these are Timmy and ants.
	And this trip does indeed work.
	So one of the things that the ants will do in the kitchen is that they'll send a scout.
	One, two, three, or four scouts out.
	Every single buck.
	Every single for people.
	We're special.
	Let's go.

	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
	That's my mic.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
	Amen.
	Fist bump.
	Bye.
	They say, keep going, keep going, you dummies.
