	Hey, whatever you say, do not blame the Millennials.
	Wasn't their fault.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	And Sunday, November 13, 2016, this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 877.
	This is No Agenda.
	Obliterating what's left of the mainstream media and broadcasting live from the darkest corners of the internet here in FEMA Region 6, Austin Tejas.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where Plato say, man who court Native American vote, learn tribe language, and how.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Another gem from Plato.
	That guy is unbelievable.
	He's overlooked.
	They should teach him in school.
	He's overlooked.
	Underrated, I say.
	Yeah, underrated.
	So typically, we wouldn't maybe talk about glitches and all kinds of issues, but we're starting an hour late on the stream.
	Something happened with your Skype, and I'm very curious to find out what could have possibly gone wrong that delayed you by an hour.
	What happened?
	Well, first of all, they wouldn't let me sign in.
	And then it would...
	What does that mean?
	It just says wrong password?
	Yeah, wrong password, wrong password, wrong password.
	And I know the password.
	Yeah.
	And then it...
	So I said, oh, I get a password recovery.
	So normally you just say, forgot my password.
	And of course, they mail it to you.
	Yeah.
	Well, they gave me a hint of the email address, and so I put the email address in.
	It's kind of an old Yahoo address.
	Good.
	So everybody else now also has your password, if it went to Yahoo.
	Well, it didn't go to Yahoo.
	Oh, okay.
	Because it said, we've never heard of this address, ever.
	And so then as I did more digging, the address seems to have turned into Mimi's email address for some reason.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, what she's doing is obviously looking at your Skype history.
	Okay, keep going.
	Well, she hacked my account.
	Yeah, that's it.
	So then I said, well, let's try some other things.
	So we tried all, you know, you try this, you try that.
	And then it was, you know, nothing worked.
	And then I finally had to do a, well, give us more information.
	So then they give me like a six-page kind of a dossier to fill out.
	And of course, like everybody else who uses Skype, you don't put any of the accurate information.
	A dossier?
	A dossier?
	You had like your medical health record?
	A dossier.
	So it goes on and on.
	And of course, I don't know what I put in.
	Usually for my birthday, I always put in like January 1st and then the oldest date.
	Yeah, 1901.
	1905 in this case.
	I think they took 1901 off.
	Oh, man.
	And by the way, I think a lot of people do this because I've noticed it.
	And so when you hear these, oh, the internet has older users than we're...
	You see these reports.
	I've seen them written up.
	Oh, it turns out that the average user for Skype is 70.
	Because people are putting in bogus birthdays.
	But okay, that's another story.
	That is pretty funny.
	So then I tried to open a new account, which you say that took like 45 minutes, because they asked for this and that, and I can see why people put in January 1st, 1908, because it's...
	Pain in the ass.
	Why are they asking for all this information?
	I don't know.
	It should be a simple thing.
	It's Microsoft.
	By the way, on the other one, I kept going on and going, and they said, well...
	What do you mean on the other one?
	What do you mean the other one?
	The original one that I use.
	Oh, the original account, yes.
	The real account.
	And so then it goes on, and it again gives me this huge questionnaire.
	I fill it out, and there's going to be a note saying, we will look this over and let you know within 24 hours.
	Oh, man!
	Just for...
	Oh, God.
	You have to name some people on your list, and then you have to think, what is their name?
	It's unbelievable.
	That's horrible.
	It's a fiasco.
	Maybe this will help.
	This is something I'm going to send you this, and whenever you feel bad in the morning when stuff isn't working, this is a little sound clip that was posted to the face bag.
	It said, Dear friends, this was my initial response when Donald Trump was elected president.
	And this is real.
	This is the kind of thing, this is fake, particularly with this person, but this is actually real.
	It was from her account.
	I double-checked it.
	Yoko Ono.
	Had a response to Donald Trump becoming president or being the president-elect.
	She sang one of her songs?
	Close.
	You ready?
	Yeah.
	Here we go.
	We don't know if she's happy or sad in that.
	We don't know.
	She could be singing his praises.
	I just thought it was fantastic.
	It is fantastic.
	You've got to put it at the end of the show.
	Of course.
	Hello.
	That was one of my favorite, favorite responses.
	Oh, yes.
	So beautiful, lady.
	Beautiful.
	Yeah, I got kind of a response to Hillary, too, that I might as well play.
	It fits right in with that.
	All right.
	This is the Vacay Girl.
	Vacay Girl.
	All right.
	Let's go with the Vacay Girl.
	Pack your bags.
	It's time for Vacay Girl.
	Hey!
	Where is that from?
	The real.
	Another end of show, Cliff.
	Man, oh man.
	Oh, geez.
	Well, maybe just overnight, quickly, quickly.
	We had a little bit of news that I feel is important.
	We have a lot of producers in this area of the globe.
	A powerful earthquake has struck New Zealand's South Island.
	The epicentre was reported to have been around 90 kilometres north of Christchurch.
	A tsunami warning has been issued calling on people on the east coast to move inland and find higher ground.
	The 7.4 magnitude tremor, which struck just after midnight local time, was felt across a large area.
	Power was knocked out in some areas and people rushed out into the streets, but there were no immediate reports of casualties.
	That's right.
	Has anyone heard from Sir Kiwi Chris?
	Is he around?
	Is he okay?
	I don't think he's on the South Island.
	That's for sure.
	Yeah, but this stuff gets felt everywhere.
	Well, the South Island is very interesting because it's probably the closest thing to a prehistoric state, you know, dinosaur era place in the whole world.
	They have a prehistoric duck there called the Blue Duck.
	Oh.
	That if you cut it open, it doesn't even look like a duck inside.
	It's a turducken?
	Could be.
	So, man, you know, obviously a lot of what we were finding in the media was people bummed out, remorse, confused, not understanding, protests, a lot of protests.
	Well, I got a couple of things.
	Well, we have the protests in Oakland.
	Yeah, another protest in Austin.
	Interesting protests in Austin.
	Let's talk about these protests for a minute.
	This would be the Maupan, the guy from RT's in Oakland checking things out.
	So once again, the sun is down.
	And here in Oakland, the streets are filled with protesters denouncing Donald Trump, the president-elect who recently won the vote.
	You know, some people that are watching this protest at home right now, right?
	They might be like, well, look, Trump won the election fair and square.
	Why are they protesting?
	Are they against democracy?
	What would you say to that person?
	We're just doing what's right.
	This is what we need.
	We don't need Trump in office.
	He's just going to make everything worse.
	It's a symbol of that.
	So do you think, is there a way of preventing him from taking office?
	We can all fight, do this every single day if we have to, to make sure that he's gone.
	Oh, okay.
	He did win according to the U.S. Constitution.
	So you're saying you're protesting against the American democratic system, right?
	So did Hitler.
	That doesn't mean we have to accept the way this...
	Yes, it is.
	We need to fight back against this fascist system.
	To have democracy, you have to have an educated public.
	And the public schools have been progressively defunded both by Republicans and Democrats.
	And so the system as it is isn't promoting the democracy we have in our Constitution.
	So the crowd of protesters has marched all the way up toward the highway.
	And as you can see, right in front of me, there's a line of police with riot gear on, shields, clubs at their sides, to prevent the protesters from getting onto the highway.
	Now the protesters are turning around in face of this crowd of police with clubs who are blocking them from getting onto the highway, as they've done on previous evenings in the protests in the aftermath of Donald Trump's election.
	You know, because there's a lot of confusion about these protests, it's obvious that what happened in Portland, there had to be some provocateurs for this to happen.
	I have an eyewitness report from one of our producers in New York City, which I wanted to share.
	He went to the Trump protest march.
	This is producer David Hazan.
	And he recorded some stuff for us as well.
	Let me just read this.
	First of all, he said, here we go.
	Went to the Trump protest march in New York City today.
	It was quite the scene.
	I think all in all, there are about 100,000 people.
	Mostly young millennials.
	Lots of LGBTQQXYZT+. Regular people, kids.
	A noticeable majority were women.
	And a peculiar number of women were, quote, of a certain age.
	Like 60 and up.
	This is interesting.
	It was quite calm and peaceful in general.
	I looked out for any possible agitators, provocateurs, and high production value designed or printed signs or t-shirts, but there were none.
	People seemed very sincere, and all signs and placards were handmade.
	Now, he gave me a list of what were on the placards and signs, and he also recorded some of the chants that were taking place.
	Just checking to make sure you're still with me, John.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	You never know with Skype issues.
	It's the noise gate.
	It is the noise gate.
	Signs.
	This pussy is not up for grabs.
	You're fired.
	Protect immigrant families.
	Finish civil war.
	Black liberation through socialist revolution.
	Not my president.
	Never my president.
	Make America safe again.
	Fuck Trump.
	Love Trump's hate.
	Make racists afraid again.
	We'll give Trump the same chance Tea Party gave Obama.
	Regime change now.
	Racist, sexist, and anti-gay Donald Trump must go away.
	Molester, scammer, tax dodger.
	Women unite!
	Not my president, not my first lady.
	And we are the popular vote.
	Let me just give you a couple of these slogans that people were shouting there.
	Real!
	Climate change is real!
	Climate change is real!
	Alright, so we have climate change is real.
	Let's see, that sounded kind of sad though.
	So here's another one.
	Donald Trump is a piece of shit.
	That is what he's saying there.
	You can hear it.
	Donald Trump is a piece of shit.
	Let's see if you can hear this one.
	Hands too small can't build a wall.
	Hands too small can't build a wall.
	Love Trump's hate.
	Okay, love, Trump, hate.
	Love, Trump, hate.
	Yeah, let's see, what's this next one here?
	Your body, your choice!
	My body, my choice!
	Your body, your choice!
	My body, my choice.
	Your body, your choice.
	My body, my choice.
	Your body, your choice.
	My body, my choice.
	That's kind of an interesting back and forth between the men and the women.
	Yeah, call and respond.
	Yeah, I like that.
	That's kind of good.
	good one here's another one wow we're really rocking it now people Racist, sexist, anti-gay!
	Donald Trump, go away!
	Racist, sexist, anti-gay!
	Donald Trump, go away!
	Racist, sexist, anti-gay!
	Okay.
	When was she anti-gay, by the way?
	I am trying to understand this.
	I think it can only stem from him once saying the gays, even though he also was the first to add the Q to the LGBT community, and just from listening to the White Guy Gay Hillary channel on Sirius 127, Progressive.
	They all were very angry when he said, I will protect you, I will protect our LGBT community from, you know, from Muslim terrorists.
	Something along those lines.
	It was certainly, it was certainly, yeah, and so...
	Very interesting interpretation.
	I think a little bit of it has to do, because I've been watching Rachel, I don't know how much more of it I can take.
	I have two more, two more.
	Let me just say, just to finish this thought.
	Of course, of course.
	I think it stems from him picking Pence.
	Oh, I'm sorry, you're right, yes, because they claim that Pence wanted conversion therapy, and we've deconstructed that.
	Yeah, we deconstructed that as bullcrap.
	Absolute bullcrap.
	You can change the words to mean that, but it was absolutely not written in the law or anything.
	Three more of these chants.
	Teens against Trump!
	Teens against Trump!
	that one uh teens against teens against teens against trump yes teens against trump yeah this is what democracy looks like this is what democracy looks like this is what democracy looks like Okay.
	These kids need a civics class, but okay.
	And then the final one.
	We reject the president-elect!
	We reject the president-elect!
	Okay, we reject the president-elect.
	I want to give...
	Who is this that sent these in?
	Oh, this is Brandon...
	I'm sorry.
	David Hassan.
	I want to give them a 10-point.
	Give them an ITM or something.
	I mean, that's a collection that should go to one of the universities that collects folklore, because that is outstanding.
	Isn't it beautiful?
	I agree.
	Go out and do that.
	Yes, that was great.
	Thanks.
	In San Francisco, a bunch of 7th graders...
	They stood up and walked out of class and protested.
	We're going to go to the mayor, I believe.
	Just by coincidence, there happened to be a TV crew nearby as these kids stormed out.
	High school students have essentially skipped class and decided to get together and march towards City Hall.
	Many of these people who are here, they're not even old enough to vote.
	But as you hear them chant anti-slogans, they are disgusted by what happened in the election.
	I'm joined here by a couple of new organizers.
	This is Victoria and Maylee.
	Victoria, let me start with you.
	You're a high school senior.
	What does the Donald Trump presidency mean to you?
	It means a lot to me right now because a lot of my family, a lot of my friends are undocumented.
	And it's not fair.
	It's really not fair that he said that he will deport every Mexican, every Central American.
	And he said that.
	Basically Mexicans are drug dealers and that's not true.
	It's very not true.
	We are a working class.
	We are struggling in this city.
	And it's very hard, especially with the house rates and everything else.
	And so this really means a lot to me right now.
	What do you feel you can accomplish by having a rally like this?
	Having our voices out here, out here with the public media, here telling Mayor Ed Lee to help us out, at least something, you know?
	And basically having our voices out in social media, in Snapchat, in Instagram, and all the televisions.
	Alright, so what you're hearing here is what I call child abuse.
	This child has clearly been abused into believing horrible things and really, really believes it.
	There's no room for nuance.
	Almost as bad as what happened in Austin last night.
	I could not believe this.
	This little girl, I think, is five years old.
	So there's a little girl, five years old.
	There's a whole bunch of grown adults around her.
	These are parents.
	And this is what took place in Austin.
	This, to me, is child abuse.
	I am mixed race.
	I am a child.
	And I cannot vote.
	But that will not stop me from getting heard.
	Love is love.
	And love trumps pain.
	That maybe wasn't last night, actually.
	But I got a problem with that, man.
	Yeah, I don't blame you.
	And by the way, this is an indication to me that the unemployment rate 4.9% is bogus.
	People have way too much time on their hands.
	They got too much time.
	The real unemployment rate is still around 22 to 23% if you look at shadow stats.
	Even though there's a number of critics out there who...
	Scream at me for even pointing this out, but it's the methodology that was used in the 30s to determine the unemployment rate during the Depression.
	I have another report From Brandon H., producer Brandon H., Millennial A. Adam.
	I know it's kind of late or early.
	Yeah, when I got it, I was still up.
	I want to fill you in on how people here at Kansas University reacted to the election.
	Another firsthand report.
	We love receiving these.
	I was among a lot of people my age with silent support for Trump, primarily because of his anti-globalist stance.
	I remain silent because just the mention of his name brings out anger and hatred in people, and I prefer to keep my friends.
	There was not a terrible backlash in response to the election.
	I mean, we are in Kansas, after all.
	But there was a lot of crying, mostly from women.
	Two of my professors cried.
	One is from Costa Rica, who feared for her safety, and the other is a political scientist-slash-Clinton bot, who predicted Clinton to win in a landslide.
	His professional prediction was giving Clinton every swing state except Ohio and Arizona.
	We were lectured by a black kid in our class that we have no idea what it's like to live in constant fear for your life and how much he is terrified, even though he comes from an upper-class suburb of Kansas City.
	We didn't have a protest as far as I know of, and I have not heard of any rally of any kind.
	My political science professors are incredibly biased.
	It's sickening to me, but a joy to the other slaves in my classes.
	Here we go.
	He's a kid who switched on.
	One told our class of around 130 that Trump winning would be a, or is a, catastrophe.
	He said that if he follows through on his promises and rips up trade agreements, the United States and the world's economy will crash.
	My other professor said this election, He also used the, quote, And I'm really hoping Trump will change things, though, and won't be a puppet.
	I don't expect him to deliver on all his promises, but I do want him to shake things up and move away from the establishment, which I think only time will tell.
	Keep fighting the good fights.
	Are you doing a necessary service to all?
	Thank you, Brandon H. Brandon, thank you.
	You're the one that's doing the service here, man.
	You do have to punch or hit some of these kids in the mouth when appropriate.
	So we have a mention of RT, so in the same vein of what we're discussing here, let's play Ed Schultz.
	Aha, Ed, yes.
	Since election night, the media has been covering violent anti-Trump protests across the nation, although many people have found more peaceful ways to cope with their disappointment.
	Some school districts and universities are offering counseling services to students who feel marginalized by Trump's rhetoric.
	Students at Cornell University stage a cry-in.
	The University of Kansas reminded students therapy dogs are available.
	A small elementary and middle school in Brooklyn nailed a community speak out with free hugs, healthy snacks and poetry.
	Yeah, healing spaces, a lot of interesting stuff going on.
	And the only question I had, and...
	By the way, this is all a form of brainwashing, too.
	Oh, huge part of it.
	This is brainwashing 101.
	They are making this worse than it is, especially with children who are susceptible to, oh, everyone's crying, I might as well cry.
	Why are they crying?
	Because a Republican got elected.
	Oh, okay, that's bad?
	You tell me it's bad?
	Well, everyone seems to think it's bad.
	Look around you.
	It's bad.
	If they'd put this much effort into actually winning the election, they'd been better off.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	Now, of course, the question that I think I have, Tina had this question.
	Okay, you're angry.
	You want to protest.
	Sure.
	Is there a point?
	Is there something you want to go?
	Is there something this is supposed to lead towards?
	And I was searching for anyone with any form of answer, although not satisfactory.
	This is probably the closest we can get to an answer to what this is supposed to lead to or where it is supposed to go to.
	You're supposed to quit.
	Well, here's Chris Hayes with Michael Moore.
	I know.
	It's rough, but it's only a minute.
	Where do you see that going?
	Because it seems to me that this is an expression of civil society, certain segments of society saying we do not approve of the rhetoric you've used or the plans that you've laid out.
	We do not approve of our fellow citizens being targeted.
	And then what?
	How does that build power to your mind?
	Okay, well, first of all...
	This is going to grow larger than anything that we've seen in recent memory.
	It's going to grow from last night to tonight, then to tomorrow night, and the next night.
	So phase one right now is just people get up, out of the chair, go out into the street, be peaceful, but be heard.
	It's going to lead to, on Inauguration Day, over a million people in Washington, D.C. There's already a huge call-out.
	Some people are calling it the Million Woman March.
	Or if you're a guy, you can say Million Woman plus one.
	Wow, how about that for a beta male moment there, huh?
	You can say, a million woman plus one?
	Can I please participate?
	Million Woman March.
	Or if you're a guy, you can say Million Woman plus one.
	Plus one?
	Really?
	But it's going to be massive.
	It's going to be massive.
	Different local organizations are going to grow out of this because we're going to have to be very active to stop these Supreme Court nominations.
	Right.
	To stop, to do what we need to do to take over the Democratic Party and put it in the hands of the people who are the Democratic Party, the progressive people that are the party.
	That's already started to happen today with Keith Ellison.
	You know what they should do?
	I just thought this would be, I mean, it's perfect.
	By the way, I'm collecting stuff on this because there is a number, this is a Soros-sponsored event coming up.
	Yes, sir.
	And it answers the question about the purple.
	Oh, I didn't get this.
	Yes.
	Oh, I think we may even have brought it up very briefly when you're saying, why were they all wearing purple?
	George Soros, then, you know, and I think we're past the point where we think this is just a conspiracy theory that George Soros starts revolutions.
	He usually gives them a color.
	We had the Rose Revolution, the Yellow Revolution.
	You know, think of Georgia, think of Ukraine, think of the Balkans.
	And this was supposed to be the Purple Revolution.
	The red and blue melding together, the Purple Revolution, and this is what the idea was.
	And I don't think the idea is off the books, by the way.
	I think it will continue.
	Although we have some little extra self-moral licensing bit that has shown up on the face bags, instead of wearing purple, The solidarity can be worn by adorning a safety pin to your clothing.
	It is the secret signal, John.
	Huh.
	Yeah.
	It's the secret signal.
	You wear a safety pin, everyone goes, okay, you're on our side.
	Gotcha.
	Gotcha.
	You hate the guy.
	Yeah.
	I think they should bring in the Lysistrada's strategy.
	I mean, if it's all women, if we have a million women marching on D.C. Inauguration Day, I think, you know, look at this protest.
	If you're not familiar with Lysistrata, it is, you know, a Greek comedy.
	It plays in Athens, I don't know, 300-400 B.C., where the women withheld sex from the men.
	Yeah.
	I think all those women should withhold sex.
	Yes.
	I think this...
	In fact, I am a little surprised no one's come up with it yet.
	I think they should do it.
	Okay.
	I have a couple Hollywood responses to what happened.
	What happened?
	Okay.
	Let me get one in in the meantime.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Yeah.
	This was done on...
	I think this was done either on one of the networks or PBS. I think it was one of the networks.
	But this was the...
	This is kind of interesting, because this is kids.
	I think it's PBS. There's kids, because Judy at the end, I believe, was going, oh.
	There's kids, again, kids who can't vote, haven't got a clue, but they're kids.
	And they're reflecting their parents.
	When you're a kid, you tend to be like your parents in terms of politics.
	Rarely not, but once in a while.
	There's a bunch of kids, one after the other, just kind of...
	They tried to balance it with a little of this and a little of that, mostly at the beginning, but after a while you can tell it was bullcrap.
	Yeah, I really wish I knew which clip it is.
	A bunch of kids.
	Ah, okay, I'm looking at the K. I'm sorry.
	When I found out that Donald Trump had won the presidential election, I was scared.
	I was just staring at my phone in shock, and I had no idea what was going to happen next.
	I'm not devastated that Trump is president.
	I think it sends a pretty strong message to the American people that something needs to change.
	A vote for Trump does not mean you are a bigot, a racist, or anti-woman.
	Maybe the country does need to be run more like a business so he can actually get things done.
	I just didn't understand how such a hateful man could rise to power so quickly.
	I've been really angry, but now I'm just tired.
	I'm tired that hate is now state-sponsored.
	I feel like a lot of students, people in general, educated themselves through social media and what was on television rather than informing themselves.
	As minorities, as people of color, as the LGBT community, as Muslims, as everyone who's ever been prejudiced against, and anyone who's ever experienced inequality, we all need to make sure that we stay in school, we handle our business, we're good in everything that we do, so that we can one day, in the next election, we can make sure that we make our voices heard.
	We are the ones running for Senate, we are the ones running for President, we are the ones representing us in these communities.
	My concerns are that Donald's kind of going to lose his temper a little bit sometimes and say some not so smart things and get some people angry.
	But I don't think he's going to make too many bad decisions.
	I think he knows where he's going.
	I think he knows what he's doing.
	The fact that someone like Trump is able to be elected, the things that he says about women and about people of different races, the fact that it's okay for him to say those things now makes it seem more okay for other people to say those things.
	So I think that's my biggest fear.
	My concern is war, but that's a concern with any candidate.
	With Hillary, it was going to be a war with Russia.
	With Trump, it's going to be a civil war.
	And the question is, who's going to win either of those?
	Seeing that my generation doesn't want to take action or take responsibility for their future and my future, our future, I just don't want to stay in a country like this if that's what it's going to be like.
	There's no doubt that the presidential elect came as a huge shock to me.
	But I call our citizens to have some respect and faith in our country.
	We've made it through a civil war, two world wars, the Great Depression, and terrorist attacks, but this is no fight.
	We elected someone new as president.
	This should not be tearing us apart.
	It should be bringing us together.
	Well, I saw this report, and it's interesting.
	I pulled different clips from the same report.
	I want to come back around to that in a moment, John.
	I have some thoughts on the kids.
	Unless you have something else you want to add to it now, it might be better.
	No, I just wanted to get in.
	Yes.
	A couple of Hollywood reactions.
	Of course, Hollywood doesn't stop.
	There's still red carpet, so people are out there sticking mics and cameras in people's faces.
	Here is film legend Francis Ford Coppola.
	By the way, man, have you seen him recently?
	No.
	It's like all of a sudden he aged 20 years.
	It's very odd.
	I lost weight.
	Yeah, he lost a lot of weight.
	Now he's completely gray.
	He let the hair and the beard, everything's gray.
	You almost don't recognize the guy.
	I'm an optimistic person, and I think the best of everyone.
	I also believe that the office of president itself is an entity.
	I give all people the benefit of the doubt.
	Donald Trump, to say good things about him, which is all I would say, is he's imaginative and he's results-oriented.
	And he's not a right-wing arch, you know, either in religion or in politics.
	You may want to be careful, man, if you want to keep making movies.
	He doesn't want to keep making movies.
	He gave up.
	He hates Hollywood.
	He never liked making movies down there, always stayed around the San Francisco Bay Area.
	Now he owns one of the biggest wineries, wine companies in the world.
	Yeah.
	He's happy.
	Good.
	Well, let's try out James Brooks, famous Hollywood producer.
	I don't know.
	Something that people generally didn't see coming and something that scares me, has me worried.
	I think the quiet demonstrations in New York tonight and elsewhere were sort of eloquent.
	And it's not angry people.
	It's people worried for the country.
	What?
	It's people worried for the country.
	He's not angry.
	No, he says they're quite eloquent.
	Hey-ho, dude.
	Hey-ho.
	Trump is poo or something.
	Yeah, those are the ones.
	Trump's a piece of shit.
	That's eloquent.
	Little hands can't build a wall.
	Yeah, that's very...
	Hey, listen.
	I mean, that's up there with Plato and Confucius as far as I'm concerned.
	Well, there is that.
	One degree of separation from Kevin Bacon.
	Kira Sedgwick.
	I feel mostly just very sad about the state of division in this country.
	I feel like I want to get on a bus with other lefties like myself who live in New York and L.A. and go to the middle of the country and let's talk about...
	What makes us similar instead of what divides us?
	Sure.
	A little late for that, maybe, but yeah.
	A little late for that.
	I live in Los Angeles and New York, and I think if I can get on a bus with some other lefties, I think we can communicate with the dumb fucks in the Midwest.
	Yeah, that's pretty much it.
	That's what she said.
	That's pretty much it.
	Yeah, that's pretty much it.
	Well, the topper for me, when she announced her guest, I was floored.
	I knew she was going to be upset.
	Chelsea Handler, who does a talk show now on Netflix.
	She's leaving the country, I think.
	Well, no, she's not leaving the country.
	Well, she explained it in this clip.
	She got very upset, and she had a fellow compatriot with her, I guess to console her and bring her words of wisdom.
	But, I mean, you cannot, you just can't...
	You have to pull a clip when it's Chelsea Handler and Barbara Boxer in the same...
	Oh, God!
	It doesn't get much better than that, does it?
	Poor Chelsea.
	Poor Chelsea.
	I know for a woman, as a woman, it feels so sexist.
	And I guess the message that I want to spread out to other women is exactly what you're saying, is not to give up.
	Sorry, I hate fucking crying on camera, but...
	Is not to give up because this is so important and it's easy to say, throw in the towel and that we're going to leave or I'm going to move to Spain because I want to move to Spain.
	I really, really want to move to Spain right now.
	And everyone in my office is like, you have a responsibility.
	You have a voice and you need to use it and you have to be here.
	It's your responsibility to move to Spain.
	Just don't interrupt.
	Just let the girl talk, John.
	By the way, Spain is a very popular destination.
	Yeah.
	That's what Amy Schumer also, she also wanted to go to Spain.
	I think they want to go to Ibiza and it's just one big party.
	I think that's the idea.
	Because when people like this say Spain, yeah, I think Chelsea Handler's talking about Ibiza.
	She's not talking about Madrid.
	I don't think she might be.
	She's a little old for that area.
	She's a party girl.
	That's all she does.
	Well, she should move there and party, but I bet if you took a poll of everyone that says they're going to move to Spain, I'm guessing that probably more than half really mean Barcelona.
	Yeah, and guess what?
	If you want to immigrate into the EU, it's not that easy.
	You can't just say, hi, I'm here, I'm moving.
	It doesn't work that way.
	You know, they have immigration laws that they kind of stick to.
	It's amazing how they do that.
	They actually stick to their immigration laws and enforce them.
	Amazing how they do that.
	Unless you're a migrant or a refugee.
	All right.
	Let's just finish this.
	Boxer has her thing to say, so just listen.
	You have to be here.
	But...
	When you're talking about stuff like the Electoral College and we're talking about, you know, rules, just the language I think that he used in this candidacy, in my mind, should be, you know, that should disqualify somebody from being a candidate.
	If you're caught lying on camera three times in a row, if you're referring to a woman's genitalia, you know, like those are non-presidential things, un-presidential things.
	How about never showing your tax returns, the only one in modern history?
	It's ridiculous.
	Hold on a second.
	He was the last one in 40 years.
	So by her standards, modern history is only 40 years old?
	Yeah.
	Seriously?
	If we just let it play for 30 seconds?
	Okay, I'm sorry.
	I just can't take it.
	I know!
	She's going to say more irritating things.
	Just try to get through it, John.
	Okay, I'm mom.
	Yeah, okay.
	How about never showing your tax returns, the only one in modern history?
	It's ridiculous.
	How about, or paying taxes?
	How about starting to pay taxes?
	Good point.
	Or how about paying the contractors that built your property instead of walking away and leaving them to sue you to get paid?
	But we just can't go back to the darkness.
	No, I know, I know, I know.
	We have to go for the light.
	Run to the light, Caroline.
	Run as fast as you can.
	Run to the light, baby.
	Mommy-- You see, I did exactly what you told me to do last time.
	It just doesn't work as well because you keep interrupting the clip.
	I never get to set it up right.
	You've done that to me a million times with some of these.
	That was good.
	You did a good job.
	As soon as they said about the light, I knew you were going to drop some bomb and go like that.
	Again, you telegraphed.
	I didn't telegraph anything.
	I was trying not to tell.
	It was the last bit.
	I'm so proud of it.
	But what you didn't see, and that kind of ruins it, actually.
	She holds out her hand, and then they both clasp hands.
	She says, yes, we have to get out of the darkest.
	Run to the lights.
	No, I know, I know.
	Run to the light, Caroline!
	Run as fast as you can!
	Run to the light, baby!
	Mommy is in the light!
	There you go.
	It's a good clip.
	Put it at the end.
	I'd forgotten that Craig T. Nelson was in that.
	I didn't remember that was him.
	What movie was that?
	Oh, Poltergeist.
	Poltergeist, right.
	Now, so a lot of talk, and this is, for me, was the most interesting, because not only have we had a precursor to this, which you called correctly, you called the actual, you know, the...
	You can call it all correctly.
	It started with the national anthem, the flag.
	We're not going to stand there.
	We're not going to salute.
	We're going to drop to one knee.
	All the football, sports stuff.
	And of course, as you correctly pointed out, let's quash this whole electoral college thing.
	Let's nip that in the bud right away.
	Or the popular vote, really, is where you started.
	How can it be that you won the popular vote and But still, this is crazy.
	This is just nuts.
	It can't go this way.
	And I have, let me see, I have a fun little clip here.
	Bill Maher brought this up.
	Well, that's what I have.
	I have him with Eric Holder.
	I watched it.
	I just couldn't clip it.
	Ah, okay.
	So I clipped the bit.
	Eric Holder, former Attorney General, is sitting with Bill Maher.
	This was his special election coverage.
	I could have pulled a million clips from it, but people are upset.
	It's not always that fun.
	I have some thoughts about what's really happening, though.
	First, let's listen to what it would take.
	To change this Electoral College idea.
	But first off, how do we solve this problem of we win the election, but we don't get to be president?
	Because this has happened twice now since 2000.
	Al Gore and now Hillary.
	And it seems to be happening to one party.
	Only us.
	Only Democrats.
	Right.
	Which is, of course, the way they would want it.
	You kind of can't blame them for that.
	But how do we fix that?
	Well, I'm in the process now of writing an article that says there's a simple solution to it.
	We have to just abolish the Electoral College.
	But they're not going to go along with that.
	Isn't that a constitutional amendment?
	Requires a constitutional amendment.
	That is some heavy lifting.
	But alright, so it involves heavy lifting.
	Right.
	Let's lift heavy.
	Let's do it.
	We've got to do it.
	I mean, it's funny because, you know...
	Always Donald Trump, opposite land.
	He kept saying the election is rigged.
	It is rigged in his favor.
	Not just that, but when you think about it, the election is on Tuesday instead of a holiday like most countries.
	Poor people can't just say, hey, I'm taking off for the rest of the afternoon and voting.
	Well, poor people aren't working.
	Thank you.
	Poor people aren't working.
	23% aren't working.
	Yeah, 23% aren't working.
	They got all day to go vote.
	Why don't they do it?
	They did.
	They voted for Trump.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Now, there's a couple of things before we continue with this discussion about the Electoral College.
	Somebody else pointed out something kind of interesting.
	Do you want to hear the rest of the Holder clip, or do you want to interject here?
	Well, does Holder actually say anything besides right?
	Yeah.
	To everything Bill Maher says?
	Yeah, let's just finish it.
	More people can't just say, hey, I'm taking off the rest of the afternoon in voting.
	Long lines in urban places.
	Of course, gutting the Voting Rights Act, where they eliminated polling places.
	All of this stuff, it's completely...
	And then we come up with ideas, the need for photo ID to show that you are who you are.
	You know, there's always been an element in our voting system that you had to prove who you were, but they've only come up recently with this notion of these more restrictive and prescriptive things that have a negative impact on those people who are less likely to vote.
	For Republicans.
	Again, I love this, this idea that for some reason poor people, black, he's saying black people I think is what he's saying, don't have photo ID. Well, every black person in America knows the number one thing you always have on you is photo ID. Sadly.
	Sadly.
	Yeah, because you're getting pulled over for no good reason.
	Yes, of course.
	You can walk down any street in America, ask me, do you have photo ID? Yeah, of course I got photo ID. Yes, so this is bullshit.
	Less likely to vote for Republicans.
	And they also happen to affect, disproportionately, people of color.
	Okay, so it seems like if one place you can just pop in and vote, and the other place there's lines for six hours, that that would be a violation of the equal protection clause of the Constitution.
	Against the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution and goes against the fundamental thing that binds us as Americans, the ability of the people to decide who their leaders are, who their leaders are going to be, and what policies those leaders will shape.
	Right.
	Now, the Republican Party has put itself on the wrong side of history here.
	Oh!
	You know, 50 years from now, people are going to look back and say, this is the party that stood for denying people the right to vote.
	Democrats want as many people...
	Yeah, but we live now.
	Yeah.
	And we fight them now.
	50 years, I'll be dead.
	We fight them now.
	We fought them while I was at the Justice Department.
	And that's going to be a big change.
	That's going to be a big change.
	I did a whole bunch of stuff to protect the right to vote.
	I know you did.
	The next Attorney General, I suspect, will not share my values.
	Okay.
	Well, there you go.
	So, yes, the constitutional amendment is very simple.
	You just have to have two-thirds of the states agree, and you can do it.
	It sounds like...
	Yes.
	Let's make one thing clear.
	And I think that these guys are so naive about this.
	It was pointed out by somebody that since the obliteration of the state governments, except for California, Washington, Oregon, of course, which have been given up on by the Republicans, it's close to two-thirds of the states already with Republican majorities.
	There is actually a fear that Yeah.
	Yeah.
	through a bunch of constitutional amendments.
	I don't believe this is going to happen, but they're a lot closer to it than what these two jokers are talking about.
	Yeah, they're not even there's no way that they could eliminate the electoral college with the way things are positioned right now.
	And it doesn't look like it's going to change for maybe decades.
	So what?
	What?
	I love...
	I would love for you to explain one more time, not just for Europeans and other people in other countries who really don't understand how it works.
	I know the initial reason behind the Electoral College was about having more votes because then you could count at least a third of your slaves.
	But ultimately, it protects from pretty much California and New York from winning every single election.
	You can easily, if you didn't have an electoral college, which has to account for every single state with a certain amount, there's still pretty much representative.
	You get, you know, in some states you get four electoral guys that get to go to the meeting.
	That's not a lot, but at least they get four in there, especially since these are all winner-take-all, except for Maine.
	But California has so many people and so many electoral votes that they could just dominate.
	You take the...
	And all you have to do is appeal to the centers of the population.
	In other words, Philadelphia, where you have people that vote lockstep Democrat.
	We already know about the 56 districts where there were 100% on one candidate.
	Talk about racism.
	Racist vote for Obama.
	100% of everybody in those precincts voted for Obama.
	Not one single vote outside of that.
	You would just Just appeal to the urban centers and you'd get more than that.
	You'd win the popular vote because you'd get California, Oregon, Washington, the urban centers mostly.
	The most populous state being California.
	They'd just be lording it over everybody forever.
	And if you live in California, a pothole city, you see that the goods and services here, 13%, by the way, is the state income tax.
	13% of your income goes to the state where they just squander it.
	And it's a very corrupt system.
	There's a lot of corruption in California because it's easy enough to do.
	There's no checks and balances.
	It would be a disaster if the Electoral College – I've always believed, and I've written essays on this.
	I have one on my blog and I reposted over the last 10 years that if anybody wants to get rid of the electoral college, it should be the publishers, newspapers and TV stations who don't get all that big money in California in particular because Donald Trump newspapers and TV stations who don't get all that big money in California in particular because Donald Trump What's the point?
	Yeah.
	Just a waste of money.
	Anyway, it was designed to protect – somebody wrote and says the electoral college, they should just vote in Hillary.
	Isn't the Electoral College designed to protect us from putting in the wrong candidate?
	And my response, which I got nothing back from on a tweet back and forth, was, isn't that exactly what it did?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Didn't let Hillary win?
	Hmm.
	I'm sorry, but I'm just going to say that it's not possible to do that at this point.
	At all.
	Beyond heavy lifting.
	Let's lift heavy.
	I have a conclusion that I came to, and I'm just circling back now to that PBS NewsHour special with the kids.
	Well, do you want to make the conclusion before or after we finish these clips?
	Well, I have clips that build on it.
	We can go on forever with the clips.
	Well, no, we can't because there's only so many clips.
	Okay, I'll make the conclusion later.
	Then I will play a different clip for you with a conclusion.
	You know, a lot of people are doing rants on the face bags.
	Oh, no.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	This is Thaddeus Dion Alexander.
	Black guy.
	I'm not quite sure where he's located.
	I think he's in Los Angeles.
	He did a beautiful little rant.
	Wow.
	Now we're protesting?
	Really?
	Man, I don't understand.
	Obviously, it's not Republicans out there causing all this destruction.
	You know...
	Burning up the streets, blocking roads and things like that.
	It's the liberals, you know?
	These are the same people that are against the Second Amendment because they want to decrease violence and nobody should have guns.
	The same people that are anti-abortion because they want to save lives.
	And you're causing all this destruction just because your candidate lost.
	See, that's the problem with this country.
	You can't always get your way.
	Everybody wants to be politically correct.
	Quit being crime babies.
	Ain't nothing free.
	You ain't no slave.
	You don't get your way till you got like a two-year-old burning up people's stuff.
	Destroying the streets, making people late for work?
	Man, I'm glad I don't live in New York City or Washington or Oregon because I would run one of y'all asses over.
	You are outrageous, man.
	You are the exact reason why Donald Trump won the election.
	Because we're tired of your crybabies.
	You didn't earn anything.
	None of you put on a uniform, but you're equipped to disrespect the flag, not want to say the Pledge of Allegiance, not want to recognize the Bible, but you want everything.
	You didn't fight for anything, but you want it.
	It doesn't work like that.
	You know, I think it should be all these people out there that want to protest and burn stuff up.
	I don't think the cops should protect them.
	Obviously, when people look at the flag and say, that's not my flag, Donald Trump is not my president, then you know what?
	Then obviously, this ain't your damn country.
	Leave!
	Find another flag!
	Find another president!
	Go to Mexico!
	I really don't care, but quit tearing up stuff.
	Quit causing destruction and preaching peace, because you're contradicting yourself.
	I'm Dion Alexander, American First.
	Alright, Dion.
	I like this guy.
	I gotta follow him.
	So I had a Rachel clip then.
	Oh, boy.
	This is Ran for Autocrat, and there's a gaffe in here that's very interesting.
	Um...
	You'll hear it, and I'm sure.
	But she brought on some woman, some Russian or some Eastern European woman who wrote a book, and she says we should – and Rachel, who looks unhinged on the show, she is like – she's got her look on it.
	She's going, oh, you know, we have to prepare.
	She starts this off with a long lecture about how we have to prepare for living under an autocratic system as if – Last night at the New York Review of Books, a Russian-American journalist named Nasha Gessen published this.
	It's called Autocracy Rules for Survival.
	Quote, I have lived in autocracies most of my life.
	What's an autocracy?
	Like an authoritarian?
	Mussolini.
	One-man rule.
	Ah, okay.
	Autocracy.
	And have spent much of my career writing about Vladimir Putin's Russia.
	I have learned a few rules for surviving in an autocracy while salvaging your sanity and self-respect.
	It might be worth considering them now.
	Joining us now is Masha Gessen.
	She's a journalist.
	She's the author of The Man Without a Face, The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin.
	She's also the author of this remarkable new article in the New York Review of Books.
	Ms.
	Gessen, it's...
	Oh, this is...
	Well, this woman again?
	You know who she is, right?
	We've talked about her.
	She's totally funded by USAID with her little non-profits, and she was promoting Pussy Riot.
	Really?
	They put her on?
	She usually doesn't make it past RT. Remarkable new article in the New York Review of Books.
	Ms.
	Gessen, it's a real pleasure to have you here.
	Thanks for being with us tonight.
	Thank you for having me.
	Donald Trump is not president yet.
	He has not been a public political figure for all that long.
	Bullshit!
	Geez, I think he's been that for 30 years, perhaps.
	Just a thought.
	For all that long.
	Is there any risk that this is premature, that we're worrying too much about this sort of an outcome before we have enough evidence to know if this is the direction he's going?
	Thank you.
	Well, it's possible.
	But I find this argument rather strange.
	All the information that we have for now about Donald Trump is information that he's given us himself.
	And he's given plenty of it.
	He's talked about jailing his opponents.
	He's talked about deporting U.S. citizens.
	He's talked about compelling the military to commit war crimes.
	These are things he's said.
	He has not said, I will be a normal politician.
	He has not said, disregard everything I've said, it's just campaign hyperbole.
	So why are we sort of insisting that we should keep an open mind and treat him like a normal politician, when so far he's given us no reason to suggest that he's a normal politician, and every reason to think that he ran for autocrat and was elected to be autocrat.
	Oh, Civics 101, people.
	Civics 101.
	No, but, you know, when I was voting, I didn't see it said autocrat, because she says he ran for autocrat.
	And was elected autocrat.
	I must have had a different screen myself.
	I did not have that exact same ballot.
	What kind of voting?
	Did you have a voting machine?
	No, we had paper ballots that then went through a scanner, and then they were saved.
	So the paper ballots ended up in a big bin, so you always go back over them.
	It was interesting here in Austin, because, of course, I looked up my polling place, and it had a little explanation of how the voting machines worked.
	And it looked, when I saw the explanation, the picture, it looked like it was like an oversized Game Boy.
	With, you know, wheels and big buttons and stuff and a screen.
	So I didn't know exactly what to expect.
	And then when I walked in, I'm at the booth.
	This thing must have been two feet tall.
	And the first thing you do is you press on the screen.
	You're, like, pressing on the screen.
	Nothing's happening.
	In fact, the screen has a really low-grade feel, like one of the early laptops.
	You push it, you know, and then...
	Right, it's kind of spongy.
	Yeah, and when you see your fingerprint in LCD, you know.
	Yeah, it's mushy, mushy.
	So it wasn't a touchscreen.
	There was this big wheel and you spun the wheel, click, click, click, click, click, click, click.
	And that would move the cursor and then you'd have to hit the enter button.
	It was very odd.
	I'm like, hello.
	I haven't seen that.
	We had machines once.
	I mentioned this before.
	We've had all the different kinds of...
	But they went a couple years ago to these scanners and these paper ballots.
	And I think that's the way to go.
	I think Inkwell.
	Finger in the Inkwell.
	That's the way to go.
	I remain.
	Well, I have two clips that I want to get to before we get to your thing.
	Because Brooks and Shields reappeared finally on PBS. No, oh no.
	And the funny thing was Shields was magnanimous Brooks, well, for example, let me give you a sense of how Brooks is dealing with this whole thing.
	Here's David Brooks.
	Play this clip.
	This is David Brooks' Tiffany snide comment.
	Children, his son-in-law on that committee.
	He said today that he's in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that he's thinking about keeping part of the health care reform law after talking to President Obama about it.
	So what are we to think?
	Maybe this is not going to be all the...
	Big moves that were hinted at during the campaign?
	Obviously outraged.
	Tiffany did not get a job.
	Maybe she'll get fed chairman or something.
	Oh, what a dick!
	The guy is an unbelievable dick.
	I don't want to say a douche.
	So here is...
	I got two clips.
	One says Shields analysis good, which is the one I want you to play first.
	This is Shields with an outstanding I thought What did you hear?
	What do you think the voters were saying?
	Well, the first thing that bothers me are my liberal friends, too many of them, I think, who immediately run to the race card.
	The fact is that it's the most dangerous place to be on the political scale as to Brand those on the other side as racist.
	That's the atomic bomb.
	That's the nuclear weapon of America.
	Once I accuse you of racist, I've demonized you, and it means any future cooperation between us is a sign of my moral deficiency if I would deal with someone like that.
	It's a terrible thing to do.
	I say that for factual reason.
	Barack Obama carried Iowa, carried Wisconsin, carried Michigan.
	He not only carried Iowa, Wisconsin, and Michigan, Twice.
	He carried the majority of the white vote in those states.
	And so Hillary Clinton lost them.
	Donald Trump won them.
	And it's a little, I think, transparent, false, to say that people are racist.
	These are the same voters who would vote for an African-American vote.
	Man, and did not vote for the white woman Democrat.
	So I think that's dangerous.
	I think, Judy, it was a revolt of working class Americans.
	I think it was a revolt against us in the press.
	I think it was a revolt against the ruling class who were indifferent to their plight, to the fact that For a generation, their standard of living has declined, that their children's futures are blighted.
	I thought Peter Hart and Dan McGinn, when they wrote that the people who led this revolution are foreign to Washington and New York, they don't go to Starbucks and they don't take their children on college tours.
	They care about high school sports more than about pro sports.
	They go to Walmart, McDonald's, and they have declining incomes, and they think their grandparents and parents built this country.
	They scream that they want their country.
	And I think they saw indifference from the ruling elites, both public and private, particularly private.
	Well, a moment of clarity.
	How nice.
	A moment of clarity.
	So let's go to the other side and see what Brooks has to say after listening to what you just heard.
	Well, This is Shields Analysis Brooks.
	You said it wasn't race, and yet, David, many people of color are saying they feel the message is directed at them.
	Right.
	So there's a racial element here.
	There's clearly a racial element.
	Oh, dick.
	That's all he's got to say.
	Listen, if it was purely a racial element, then perhaps Hillary Clinton would have said, you know, it was racial.
	That's why I lost.
	No, instead, she doesn't say that.
	I'm sure you heard what she said to her donors.
	What?
	Oh, no, she had a conference call.
	Oh, yeah, she had a conference.
	Well, you know, here's Ed Klein.
	He's a former editor of New York Magazine.
	And he gave us, post-election, he gave us the details on what happened, why Hillary Clinton did not appear, and who she blamed it on, which is now a recognized fact.
	To me...
	There's a lot of ways you could remember Hillary Clinton.
	First, let me ask you, have we seen the last of her?
	Do you believe that, well, what do you think are true?
	We saw her today.
	She teared up when she said it was a very painful experience.
	But what was her reaction, do you think, while the results were coming in?
	Well, here's what I know, not my opinion.
	About 6.30 this morning, she called an old friend.
	She was crying inconsolably.
	She couldn't stop crying.
	And her friend said she, her female friend from way, way back, said it was even hard to understand what she was saying she was crying so hard.
	This is Hillary we're talking about.
	Eventually, her friend said she could make out that she was blaming James Comey, the director of the FBI, for her loss, and, and this I don't understand exactly, the president of the United States for not doing enough.
	Really?
	Yes.
	Huh.
	Now, when I said to the source, what did she mean by that?
	She said, well, she felt, Hillary felt that the president could have stopped Comey a long time ago, because that's what Bill said.
	Oh, so not that he didn't campaign enough, but that he didn't do enough within the realm of the FBI investigation.
	Yes, exactly.
	I mean, you know, with the Clintons, especially with Hillary, it's never her fault.
	Well, of course.
	Do you think she went to bed Not thinking she won, but because she went to bed and then woke up at 6.30, found out and called her friend?
	No, no, no.
	She stayed up all night?
	She stayed up all night.
	But with the Clintons, it's always somebody else's fault.
	And it's been this way with Hillary all her career.
	There you go.
	And this has been confirmed.
	Multiple people who were on the phone call when she spoke to donors for 30 minutes.
	It's confirmed.
	And New York Times has now written this up as confirmed.
	That she blames it squarely on Comey and the two Comey letters and the president for not tamping Comey down more.
	So the racial argument, according to the candidate, is not true.
	It's all Comey's fault.
	I like that, though.
	Poor guy.
	I think she's right.
	Probably.
	Probably.
	We've talked about this on the show.
	Everyone who listens to the show consistently knows what we think about everything Comey's done and what it was designed to do.
	And everyone else was saying, oh, he's a terrible person for not charging her.
	And we discussed how what he said in not charging her was a condemnation.
	Damn.
	So...
	None of this was a surprise to us.
	Somebody wrote me an email saying, you know, it's funny when I was watching all this stuff going on, he says, because of no agenda, it all is making sense to me while everyone else is going...
	Exactly.
	Now, in your clip, in your previous clip, it was mentioned after the meeting that Trump had with Obama, he said, you know, I'm considering two things about the Affordable Care Act.
	And the two things that I also think are fantastic, which is pre-existing conditions...
	And having your kids, you know, the legal ability, I don't know why it wouldn't be legal.
	I mean, why can't you make, why can't you have someone on your insurance until they're 50?
	But okay, for some reason, there was some cutoff date put in there, and that was then raised to 26.
	I think that's good.
	Actually, I'm like, wow, here's someone who may be listening to the other side.
	At least that was the illusion that was given.
	I liked it a lot.
	Good start.
	Okay.
	The President and the President-elect sat down, did their little thing.
	I did want to mention that all the other traditional photo ops, etc., were all canceled by the Obamas.
	It is a long-standing tradition, speaking of releasing tax returns, long-standing tradition that there's a photo op with the President, the First Lady, and the President-elect, and the incoming First Lady.
	The Obamas canceled that.
	That's lame.
	That's tiny.
	That's little man's spite.
	That's just not okay.
	My personal opinion.
	You can just sit there and do the press conference.
	Look at it in his face.
	He did not like the way this came out and he thought it was a slap in his face.
	He took everything personally.
	Yeah, of course.
	Along those lines, of course, what is going to happen with the Affordable Care Act?
	Rand Paul, who, of course, was marginalized very early on in the primaries, sent to the little children's table debate in the afternoon.
	Well, he's now basking in it.
	He's loving this.
	I think we're going to spend the first month passing repeal of Obama regulations, and they will be signed by Trump.
	So I think there'll be a half a dozen regulations repealed in the first week of Congress, and this is something I'm excited to do because most of these regulations haven't been written by Congress.
	I think they're unconstitutional because they've been, basically the executive is legislating, and that was never the intention of the Founding Fathers.
	So I think you're going to find that we're going to repeal half dozen or more regulations in the first week of Congress, and I'm excited about it because I think the regulations have been killing our jobs and making us less I think the interesting thing you're going to find is that I think he'll have a pro-business agenda.
	This administration has been very anti-business.
	Most of the people in the Obama administration never held jobs in the real world.
	They were extremist academics who wanted to regulate everything that moved.
	So I think you will find that we will put on Trump's desk repeal of regulation after regulation, and I think you will see him sign them.
	I don't think you're going to see resistance from Donald Trump to get rid of the regulatory war on business.
	It has gone way too far.
	I mean, we're regulating.
	There was a story the other day of the EPA. When they plow the field and you have the mound of dirt between the rows, they call that mini-mountains, and they're regulating that as mountain ranges, okay?
	The government has gone crazy with regulations.
	None of them have been passed by Congress.
	I think you're going to see repeal in the first week, and I think you'll see Donald Trump sign them.
	There you go, Rand Paul attacking the efficient government on the inside.
	We'll see how that works out.
	Speaking of business, finally a full-on, just a beautiful CNBC report, post-election of the entire financial markets.
	Happy Friday, everybody.
	Markets pausing it for very good reason.
	We're reaching limits about how far we can go without more policy initiatives or indications of what's going to happen.
	Just look at the major groups here for the week here.
	Banks up double digits, 12 percent.
	Pharma's up 9 percent.
	Industrials up 8.
	Copper's up 20 percent.
	RSI, Relative Strength Indicator, 100.
	I've never seen that.
	That means it's about as much overbought as you could possibly get at this point.
	So again, we've got to see a little more details of what's going to happen on Obamacare, on Dodd-Frank, on tax cuts.
	Did you see this letter of 600 doctors to President-elect Trump basically pushing back on the idea of higher drug prices?
	Don't allow the pharmaceutical lobby to set terms for drug pricing, specifically saying allow the government to negotiate Medicare drug prices.
	This is a very controversial issue, but basically the idea is Just going higher on drug stocks, on the idea you can raise prices, is not going to work here for a lot of people.
	So we're getting some pushback already on this idea.
	Speaking of going up and moving up this week, did you see the asset managers and some of the brokerage firms that have been moving this week?
	All of them are on the upside.
	So E-Trade and Schwab are up double digits.
	Piper Jaffray is up really big.
	There's some hopes this fiduciary standard rule might be changed or repealed.
	CMA Group has had an amazing group.
	So these are all stocks that benefit when trading goes up.
	Their earnings tend to go up.
	Higher rates are also a benefit for E-Trade and Schwab.
	Did you see what happened to CME Group?
	They put out a press release yesterday basically saying it was the highest record day of all time for them.
	All-time records, for example, in crude oil futures.
	You put up the next full screen.
	All-time records in 10-year Treasury options trading.
	S&P weekly options are all-time record.
	Gold and copper futures, all-time record.
	This is really an extraordinary week for the trading community, and there's a lot of hope.
	Maybe, maybe trading is back in some kind of way.
	By the way, the CEO is retiring this week.
	Terry Duffy will be back with them.
	As for retail, a lot of discussion like, well, what's really changed in retail?
	Well, what's kind of changed is much better commentary out there.
	Nordstrom, Macy's, and Colts cited improving sales trends.
	They gave kind of up-bleak.
	Upbeat outlooks for the key holiday season.
	We'll hear more from Walmart and Target and Home Depot next week.
	JCPenney was down today.
	Not quite as strong as the other ones were, but overall, the commentary, very good.
	Finally, from historic highs, guys, SP just 1% away.
	Russell Midcalf got a little bit further to go.
	What an extraordinary week, guys.
	Yes, yes.
	Well, so that didn't quite...
	That prediction didn't quite come true.
	Well, it worked out pretty much the way we described it in DH Unplugged, which is it's going to go down, which it only did on the overnights.
	It did.
	Yeah.
	It went down 700.
	Now, just one point shy of all-time high on that.
	It's going to break a lot of records.
	This market, before he even gets in office, is going to be way up there.
	Now, do you think it's possible?
	Yeah, with the crash, it will happen after he's inaugurated or before?
	What do you think?
	It's going to happen.
	The crash is going to happen in June or July.
	Oh, okay.
	So, we'll have a couple months under the belt.
	Now...
	Here's the question I have, just reflecting on these clips, and especially the riots, and Soros.
	There was a good 60 Minutes thing about Soros that looked like it took place during the Clinton presidency.
	And it's floating around the internet.
	Yes, it's a little YouTube montage.
	It's a little YouTube thing.
	It's from 60 Minutes in about 1995.
	And There was a revelationary, or kind of a thing, at least to me, was revelationary, where he's being interviewed, Soros is, you know, a younger man, and he says, he doesn't look so much like a Sith back in the day.
	Yeah.
	And he says, yeah, everything...
	He actually looks a bit like Michael Douglas.
	Yeah.
	When he was younger.
	Oh, back in the...
	Yeah, maybe a little bit.
	Anyway, he says that everything he does is for profit.
	He does...
	And he says he's amoral.
	Yeah.
	And he does every...
	Everything is a methodology.
	Everything is a methodology for making money.
	It doesn't matter how he does it.
	I think he also kind of alludes to...
	Yeah, he says...
	Revolutions?
	Yeah, no problem.
	Yeah, he's done corrupted countries.
	He's done all kinds of things.
	So, the question remains, he is financing, apparently more or less taking over the money at moveon.org.
	Also, I noticed that he was listed as running pretty much the game at Sierra Club.
	Yeah, I didn't know that either.
	I saw that too.
	I didn't realize.
	Yeah, I was kind of stunned by that.
	So, what is his game?
	And pushing for these protests, these riots on the streets.
	And now it looks like the inauguration day is going to have some like million.
	There's posters around.
	I'll put one in the newsletter that Eric dug up from the dark web.
	And there's a bunch of stuff that Soros is behind.
	Where's the profit?
	Where's the money to be made?
	I don't know, but I know who I... I don't know either.
	I know who to ask.
	I know who to ask.
	The banker.
	Yeah, former New York banker.
	I'll ask him exactly that, and I think he'll have already figured out the strategy.
	It's probably really simple.
	It might be.
	Yeah.
	No, I'll ask him.
	I'll ask him.
	But we can, like, that one guy that was in that presentation, who's just apparently a coattail guy, he's just, whatever Soros does, I do.
	Right.
	Which is a reasonable way to do things.
	Right.
	Although Soros has lost a few bets.
	Yes.
	But for the most part, everything he does is...
	If everything he does is to make money, everything, that means these riots are...
	These people are pawns in some trick to make money.
	And to be...
	Based on what our producer said, not all these riots are with agent provocateurs.
	I mean, there is a legitimate movement happening when you have 100,000 people in New York City.
	I think there's something that's legitimate about what's happening, but these, of course, may be just, hey, time to go out.
	You know, whatever started it, it's kind of irrelevant.
	I'm going to move my deconstruction to after we thank some people, but I have two more clips.
	The first is Michael Moore, who showed up on the Morning Joe's show and gave, again, a little more background as to what the protests will be for and how they're going to be used.
	And I guess what his idea is as to what has to happen.
	He put together a to-do list for the Angries.
	For the Angries?
	The Angries.
	Let's use that.
	The Angries.
	All right.
	I like that.
	So we have the newcomers.
	Newcomers versus the Angries.
	But newcomers are the angries.
	I don't know.
	The angries.
	We are going to resist.
	We are going to oppose.
	These demonstrations you're seeing on the streets, when it's in places last night like Milwaukee and Nashville, not exactly Berkeley and Ann Arbor, all right?
	This is going to continue tonight and the next night and the next night.
	And all he has to do is start nominating Rudy Giuliani as Attorney General and things like that, or his Supreme Court.
	This is going to be a massive resistance.
	There's already...
	Women are calling for a million-woman march on the inauguration day.
	And there's going to be the largest demonstration ever on inauguration day.
	And there are going to be demonstrations.
	But we're also going to organize...
	You've seen nothing like...
	Everything that they were going to do to Hillary, the obstruction that they did to Obama for eight years, and putting her on trial for impeachment.
	Let me just say, I was just saying to Lupica there in the room, that here's what's going to happen.
	This is why we're not going to have to suffer through four years of Donald J. Trump.
	Because he has no ideology, except the ideology of Donald J. Trump.
	And when you have a narcissist like that, who's so narcissistic where it's all about him, he will...
	Maybe unintentionally break laws.
	He will break laws.
	Because he's only thinking about what's best for him.
	But aren't you now wishing ill on him instead of...
	I don't have to wish ill.
	He is ill.
	He is ill.
	He is racist.
	He is a misogynist.
	He is an authoritarian.
	This Bertram Gross, a philosopher who's going to lose...
	He is a misogynist.
	He is an authoritarian.
	Bertram Gross, a philosopher who is no longer with us, wrote a book in 1980 called Friends.
	Do you know Bertram Gross?
	Any idea who that is?
	You sound like a really obscure reference.
	Who cares?
	These are authoritarians.
	Bertram Gross, a philosopher who's no longer with us, wrote a book in 1980 called Friendly Fascism.
	And what he said was that the fascism of the 21st century would not be concentration camps and cattle cars and all of that.
	Oh, too bad.
	It would come with a smiley face, maybe even a TV show.
	And he would be popular, and he would say all the right things, and people will willingly...
	Bring him in and give up their rights even to him.
	This is what we're facing.
	Oh, boy.
	That's some philosopher.
	How are we facing it to that extreme if they're going to have a million people marching and he's going to keep them, make them break the law somehow?
	I don't know what he's going to do.
	This is bullcrap.
	I'll tell you, this million man thing on Twitter.
	Million woman.
	Million woman.
	Million bullcrap.
	Plus one.
	Plus one.
	The...
	The hashtag for this is J20 on Twitter.
	So you do hashtag J20, do a search on hashtag J20, and that is your sub, kind of like a subreddit for all practical purposes.
	You'll find all the people involved in this.
	What does it stand for?
	January 20th.
	Oh, duh.
	Okay.
	J20. That's interesting.
	Let me take a look right now.
	So the J20 thing will be the hashtag, and it's being kept away from the normal people don't know about this.
	And, you know, the man on the street.
	But you can see it.
	And all the planning is in there.
	Oh, I see it here.
	United We Resist General Strike is being called for J20 right off the bat here.
	Yeah, they want a general strike.
	Don't go to work.
	And don't do this, don't do that.
	And the general strike and a big march on Washington and all this is already being pre-organized.
	Here it is.
	This is a J20. Hashtag J20. General strike.
	No work, no school, no fascist USA. Hmm.
	Right.
	And so this is being organized as we speak.
	Yeah, this is definitely, this is MoveOn, and that is completely financed by Soros these days.
	And we know it because MoveOn is not hiding it.
	By the way, hashtag J20 also brings up the new J20 stealth fighter from China, which is kind of funny.
	That is funny, actually.
	You see all these, like, January 20, general strike, and then you see, like, all these jets.
	Yeah.
	The Jets.
	Oh, man.
	This is not a spontaneous thing.
	This is way in advance.
	You've got fair warning.
	Anyone who wants to do the research, of course, this show does a lot of the research for you, so you now have a heads up on J20. I think it's just a bunch of bullcrap that is being orchestrated by Soros for some financial return.
	That's what we're going to find out.
	These people are being used.
	Abused.
	Well, they're being abused, too.
	That's true.
	But they have no jobs, so they got time to do this.
	Generals strike my butt.
	These people don't even work.
	Because nobody's working.
	We have a fellow compatriot in the United Kingdoms of Gitmo Nation East.
	His name is Jonathan Pye.
	Have you ever heard of him?
	You ever seen his stuff?
	You know, I don't like this guy, before you go on.
	I don't like his presentation style.
	I don't like, you know, he's another guy, borderline just screaming into a camera.
	He's a liberal, really, if you look at it.
	No, he's a total liberal, yeah.
	And I just don't like his style.
	I don't like...
	People keep sending me links to this little rant, which I think is a shallow rant that doesn't do anything for me.
	It brings in no new information whatsoever.
	And I just don't care for this pie.
	And what a name.
	And how did he become anything just overnight?
	I mean, 50 people sent me, oh, you've got to see this guy.
	He tells it like it is.
	I'm thinking, no, I think the No Agenda show tells it like it is.
	This guy's just doing his thing.
	Well, in that case...
	I would like to thank you for your courage and say, in the morning to you, John C, where the C stands for, can't get Skype to obey, Dvorak.
	Yeah, yeah, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also, in the morning, ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	Yes, in the morning to the chatroom, noagendastream.com.
	Some bias and cognitive dissonance going on in there, but that's to be expected.
	Everyone seems to be...
	Kind of respecting each other.
	Nice to see you there.
	NoagendaStream.com.
	Thank you to the DB Method artist who went to NoAgendaArtGenerator.com and brought us the artwork for episode 876.
	Now, he did email me later.
	He was very concerned.
	This is the election special, of course.
	We like this a lot.
	This was the slot machine with the three Trump heads and then he had a 33 and a Hillary and flags and stuff.
	He did send me an answer.
	He was very concerned because he said, oh, I got the Trump head from some clip art, which I don't think was open source.
	So he built everything himself, but he used the clip art of Trump.
	And we went back and forth, and I made an executive decision to just leave it the way it is.
	But typically, we don't like that.
	If anybody does research on using the art generator, Webmaster gave credit to a different version of the exact same art.
	Ah, okay, so he uploaded a new version, I guess.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, okay.
	Well, we try to be better than that, but sometimes something slips through, so we apologize to whomever.
	Well...
	We'll live.
	Let's thank a few people for helping us out.
	You know, you can always give the guy ten bucks for that head.
	I mean, that's your...
	Yeah, if someone needs it, we'll hook him up.
	Sir Borislav Marinov came in at the top here, and he came in with one of our eight...
	$880.
	Oh, wow.
	Super.
	He's the only one on this show.
	My mom is getting $70 next weekend and I'm getting $47 three weeks from We're good to go.
	Because next weekend, we're not going to remember any of this.
	Okay, so Boris, love, Marinoff, mom, and she will be 70 next weekend.
	And he should send us another note for his, which is coming up.
	Okay, and I got the karma.
	Because three weeks from now, it's not going to happen.
	You've got karma.
	Got it.
	Because we lack mechanisms.
	We lack staff, mainly.
	All right, onward.
	We need staff.
	Sir Rogue, the Black Knight of the Okanagan Plains.
	I believe that's in Canada.
	The Okanagan Valley, I know, is up there.
	there.
	It's one of the great wine growing areas of the world, believe it or not.
	$521, $543.21, resulting in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
	Nice.
	He sends a note.
	This is a check that came in.
	I woke up this morning to the distressing news that Comey had given Killary a clean bill of health regarding the latest email kerfluffle.
	A more jaded man than I am.
	I think this whole last ten days was a masterstroke of manipulation, and that had been orchestrated this way all along.
	Luckily, I'm not that jaded.
	I know it was on purpose, as I couldn't have done it better myself.
	As crediting us for this particular analysis.
	As mentioned in one of the newsletters, we've begun a countdown to oblivion.
	So for show 876, I'm sending 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 to honor all the hard work and sacrifice you to provide just to keep us just to keep just a little bit of brother and sacrifice you to provide just to help us keep just a little touch of our sanity.
	And finally, the jingles.
	Ready?
	Yeah.
	Now, he says he wants to hear the alternative of, can you see that juice?
	And he says, the guy.
	Yeah, I got it.
	Oh, okay.
	I don't know what that is.
	Look at that.
	Yeah, I have that one.
	Oh, okay.
	The guy.
	Whoopi.
	These other ones are easy.
	Whoopi, get out of my vagina.
	Little girl boom shakalaka.
	Hold on a second.
	Yeah.
	And then Little Girl, yay.
	Little Girl, boom, shakalaka.
	Okay.
	That's Nick's kid, I think.
	Yeah, then yay.
	Yeah.
	Okay, Nick's kid.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, I was...
	Yes.
	Anyways, faithfully yours, S.T. Felter, a.k.a.
	Rogue Black Knight of the Okanagan Plains.
	Yes.
	And a karma, of course, I'm sure.
	Of course.
	Look at that juice.
	The juice that comes out.
	My hand is dripping wet here because I have nothing but juice.
	I'm not in a hive.
	In my vagina.
	Oh, that wasn't the right one.
	Boo-shaka-laka.
	Boo-shaka-laka!
	Yay!
	Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
	Here it is.
	I owe the...
	Get out of my vagina!
	There we go.
	I understood the deal, but I messed it up.
	I understand the deal, too.
	I think that's one of the most lewd combinations...
	That has ever been played.
	That has ever been.
	I mean, there's a couple of combinations that are sketchy and funny, but wow.
	Okay, I'm just saying.
	Yeah, I hear you.
	It's fine, you know, your wish is our command or whatever.
	Dagger, $345 from Hamilton, New Jersey.
	And he has, call me whatever you want.
	I don't care.
	Here's a 345 to your 876.
	Dagger.
	And then he says, love and kisses.
	Love and kisses back.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Villarreal, Villarreal, Villarreal.
	$250 drops to associate executive producer.
	I just want to thank you for the excellence you deliver twice a week for my wife and I to enjoy from KD5ATX73. Ah, 73's Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie!
	I rarely miss an opportunity to hit people in the mouth and want a de-douching since it's been over a year since our last donation.
	You've been de-douched.
	The last donation was a mess and ended...
	ended...
	Getting split and my massage was cut off.
	Message, not his massage, his message.
	Oh, his message.
	Sorry.
	I'm sorry your massage got cut off halfway.
	That's what I was thinking.
	What is he talking about?
	But this PayPal account was flawed, showing my last name twice.
	So I replaced it.
	The first donation was a birthday shout out.
	But due to the cutoff, I don't think it was translated properly.
	Happy belated birthday to my wife, Billy.
	And I'd like the Trump bing boom and the little girl boom shakalaka.
	There's your random number theory.
	In honor of the Trump win, thanks for the best podcast in the universe.
	And just in case, zip me an email confirmation of this message so I don't keep resending.
	Okay. - No, we didn't.
	I just sent off an email confirmation.
	Okay, good.
	We're good to go.
	Bing, bing, bong, bong, bing, bing. Boom, chakalaka. Boom, chakalaka.
	You've got karma.
	Nice.
	Mm-hmm.
	Sir Gray in Roscommon, Michigan.
	Don't forget there's a meeting coming up in Michigan.
	People should note it.
	Thank you, America, for voting the sovereignty over globalism and thus making the world a safer place.
	Hope you guys don't see it.
	By the way, talking about sovereignty over globalism, just on the side here, have you heard from your once friends that moved to Stanford?
	Have I heard from them?
	Yeah.
	No, they're not talking to me.
	Are you crazy?
	No.
	I wonder how they feel.
	I know she got very upset at my...
	I would love to know how they feel.
	They have to be beside themselves, especially in Palo Alto.
	Yeah, there's just not a lot of posting right now.
	You know, the professor's wife unfriended me.
	Oh, so you can't get...
	Yeah, can't see anything.
	And the professor is just...
	He's careful.
	He's not doing too much.
	He knows.
	He knows he's got to be careful.
	Anyway, making the world a safer place, it goes on.
	I hope you guys don't see an American version of the Brexit do-over.
	Don't think that's going to happen.
	It's not doable, really.
	What's done is done.
	He like a jingle request of Trump, no more foreign countries lobbying Congress.
	I don't remember this.
	I don't remember it either.
	He says, or another Trump clip, play anything.
	Hillary is saying, at this point, what difference does it make?
	Two to the head.
	We came, we saw, he died.
	I was listening to show 876, he writes, and hearing the media alarmist damaging sheeple having their breakdowns coupled with...
	Reading the Twitter bigoted hate from the over-socialized socialist media virtue signalers, I realize just how much value you guys have provided me for my critical thinking skills and my mental health.
	I just had to donate.
	And he goes on with a meeting he had.
	Is there anything there we need?
	I wish I could find the...
	The clip that he wanted, I have no idea what he's talking about.
	This is Kevin Strange from Norwich, UK. $201.60.
	And I really appreciate...
	Wait, wait.
	I'm sorry.
	Go ahead.
	Yep.
	Keep going.
	I just appreciate people from the UK coming in with these, being that interested in what we think is going on in the world.
	I just find it fascinating.
	He says, thanks to you, my mentors and amusers, I was armed with the wealth of deconstructed facts and outstanding insight into global politics that gave me a unique ability to hit people in the mouth, debate, and mediate the conversation between multiple shittizens with different cultures and media programming.
	Thank you.
	I appreciate you saying that, and that will be a part of what I'm going to say after our little thank you segment here.
	Okay.
	Okay, I have something for him here.
	None!
	What difference at this point does it make?
	We came, we saw, he died.
	You've got karma.
	I don't think that's the one he had in mind, but that's a better one.
	I'll play the original then.
	I like that one a lot.
	I mean, that is the land of unconfirmed.
	Yes, we came, we saw, he died.
	We came, we saw, he died.
	I've heard this.
	I always get a kick out of that.
	That's great.
	Brian Dillon in Parts Unknown USA, $200, and he doesn't want his note read.
	Wait, did you get Sir Gray?
	I think you missed Sir Gray.
	Oh, I missed Sir Gray.
	Sorry, let's go to Sir Gray.
	Sir Gray, $200.33 from Rosecommon, Michigan.
	Where was the other guy from?
	That was Kevin Strange.
	He's from Norwich, Norfolk.
	Great Britannica.
	I think I called it the wrong name at the beginning of that little...
	Yeah, I read his letter in the pre-show.
	Challenge, for every $200.33 donation from now until November 24th, I will add $10 to my planned donation of $200.33 for the Sunday show on the 27th.
	Quit being douchebags.
	Donate to the best podcast in the universe.
	So he's offering...
	Sir Gray, who's been around for a while, he's offering to...
	He's like one of those challenge things PBS does, I guess.
	It could happen.
	We'll make a note of it.
	I'll put it in a newsletter.
	If people want to deal with that, they can.
	Then we have Brian Dillon, who doesn't want his note read.
	Thank you for your note.
	Got it.
	Thank you.
	You didn't have to do that, but that was appreciated.
	Adam DeMoy in Milton, Florida.
	I'm going to give Brian a little karma.
	Oh, okay, good.
	You've got karma.
	I'm feeling carmalicious.
	Adam DeMoy, Milton, 200.
	Here's to another exciting four years in America with Trump.
	I've been listening since the Ukraine...
	Actually, since Ukraine invasion days.
	Absolutely love the podcast and its ability to keep me sane on a weekly basis.
	I just earned my knighthood and look forward to...
	So it's Sir Adam.
	And look forward to continuous donations to further the propagation of the formula.
	John, look out in your mailbox for a special card from the Koch brothers...
	Around the holidays as I pulled some strings and got the show's address on the permanent holiday card mailing list.
	Oh, no.
	That's great.
	I get to see the Koch brothers.
	Look what they do for a Christmas card.
	Anyway, that concludes our group.
	He had some requests here, didn't he?
	I don't see them.
	Yeah, Koch brothers call out on some okie doke.
	Oh, okay.
	I'm sorry I missed that.
	Okay, now we have that.
	Koch brothers!
	Koch brothers!
	Okie doke.
	If we fall for okie doke just because it sounds funny or provocative, if the tweets are a bunch of okie doke...
	Koch Brothers!
	You've got karma.
	There we go.
	I want to mention one thing before you go on.
	The Koch Brothers and Citizens United Now what are the Democrats going to use for their talking point?
	Citizens United did not help Trump.
	The Koch brothers did not help Trump.
	He didn't even spend that much money.
	And so all these arguments that we kept hearing for the last number of years about Citizens United and the Koch brothers are now invalid.
	That's right.
	That's a plus.
	I have a quick PR mention before we continue.
	This is actually something very cool.
	We have so many sites that producers have put together, maintain, and make them work.
	I think there's even a link at each show notes page to an entire collection of them.
	So today's show notes will be 877.noagendanotes.com.
	You can always find all the episodes at archive.noagendanotes.com.
	That's really what you should be using.
	So we have one of my favorites is the No Agenda Player.
	And the No Agenda Player is really fantastic because you have each individual show and people can annotate and mark up little pieces and bits and then mark up each annotation and There are several links.
	You can just get a link or you can write from that page, tweet, or send to the face bag.
	Exactly that point in the show where you want someone to listen or if you have some point to make about it.
	Now news comes that the No Agenda RSS feed will contain MP3 files of the show that have the topic marks embedded into the file.
	So there are a number of podcast clients that understand this, and so you'll be able to skip to a certain part in the file, for instance, if you listen to the show, and then, you know, you say, hey, you've got to hear this thing the guy said, which of course happens all the time, I understand.
	Uh...
	And then you can click on a mark right in the app, and it'll take you to that specific piece.
	So some apps that support this are, was it the Downcast, Overcast, there's a couple of Android.
	I put it all in the show notes.
	And also, noagendaplayer.com, they have the explanations as to how you can use it and where you can find it.
	So I'm very happy with that.
	That's pretty cool.
	This is shit that no one's ever done.
	No one's even thought of it.
	No one ever does individual album art either.
	Well, I'm not going to run that broken record today.
	Thank you very much to our executive producers and our associate executive producers.
	These are absolutely real credits.
	This is what you're doing to support the work, to support the show, just like we've got people making cool stuff with the No Agenda player.
	Thank you, and of course we have another show coming up on Thursday.
	Please remember us at And yes, you can use those little kids out there to do something like, I don't know, propagate the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Hey, citizens.
	Shut up, slave. Shut up, slave. Shut up, slave.
	All right.
	Well, I want to circle back to the children, and I mean really the millennials and the kids who are very distraught, very upset.
	I got a lot of response to our, which I didn't think was, when I listened to it, I didn't think my rant was particularly all that good.
	Oh, people loved it.
	I know.
	But at first, there were way too many F-bombs, I felt.
	I don't know.
	Yeah, people liked it.
	But I could have done better, but it doesn't matter.
	People like to responded to it, and I needed to do some investigation about what I see as abusive children, how their heads are being filled with all kinds of information, and now the abuse is almost doubling down if you hear some of the clips we played earlier.
	So I'm going to go back to that PBS NewsHour report where you had the clip of the kids.
	I actually pulled a clip of the teachers.
	There were two teachers who were speaking, and some things were said in there that I think were interesting and kind of led me down a path of understanding what happened and where we can actually focus some blame, perhaps.
	For a closer look now, we turn to Kavitha Cardoza of Education Week, who's been talking to teachers across the country, and Mariama Richards, an administrator at Friends Central School just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
	Kavitha, let me start with you.
	What have you found in your reporting in the past couple of days?
	Well, this is something that teachers are used to.
	They have been dealing with these emotions through the campaign season.
	The election results just made it more concrete.
	Children's schools are just a microcosm of society, and so they're not surprised at all that some of these emotions are spilling into the classroom.
	So are these the students' own opinions or are they parroting what their parents say at home?
	I think a bit of both with the teenagers we just saw.
	Some of it is their own because they are reading newspapers and watching the television themselves.
	Oh really?
	But I spoke to a teacher in California and she teaches pre-K and she says children just absorb the stress of their parents.
	And so she teaches in a very diverse community, a lot of Muslims, a lot of immigrants.
	And she said she has noticed that the children are more aggressive, they're more prone to crying, very emotional.
	So she and other teachers have actually put the learning, the academic goals on hold.
	You know, what happened back in the day when I was in school, if you had a kid that was aggressive or constantly crying, you know what happened?
	This kid may have some problems at home.
	We should talk to the teacher, the parents.
	Something's going on.
	You know, something not going well with that household.
	Today, it's just normal.
	Okay.
	Oh, well, there's stress.
	We'll just have to help them here, I guess.
	Teachers have actually put the learning, the academic goals on hold with these children.
	And they've said, you know what?
	Let's create our own curriculum.
	How to be a good friend.
	How to listen.
	How to be calm when you feel upset.
	She said a lot of the parents are stressed about maybe their families being split up, maybe losing health care if Obamacare goes away.
	Mariama Richards, what kind of things have you been grappling with at your school or the teachers have been coming to you with?
	One of the biggest issues that's in front of us right now is a community that wants to see change happen, that felt really connected to the election season, regardless of which side that particular student or family was on.
	And now they're grappling with kind of how do they Push through some of the values that they really do love and appreciate about the community that they're building and finding that there's a split in perspective on how to move forward.
	For example, there are students who feel so angry and upset now that it's hard for them to think about engaging those who may have voted for our current president-elect because they see that engagement as With people who think less of them, who don't think that they're full human beings, while there are other students who may not necessarily be on the side of the president-elect as well, but they are in a position where they feel like this is an opportunity for us to learn what the other side of the world is thinking.
	And so even in places where you have commonalities in terms of goals, we're still seeing students really struggle with kind of what's our best case forward moving forward.
	Okay.
	A couple of things.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	She said other side of the world?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I know.
	Yeah.
	No, it's ridiculous.
	This is not how you need to handle this.
	And although schools are doing what they can, we've heard now that the teachers are equally as upset and also propagating all kinds of gloom and doom scenarios.
	Well, then I can add this clip which backs you up a little bit, it seems to me.
	And this is the...
	Where is this?
	Where is this clip?
	Trump?
	No?
	I said I don't know.
	I don't know which clip you're talking about, so...
	This should be about the high school.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, I got it.
	I got it.
	You don't have to say it.
	I have it.
	I have it.
	The clip about Trump high school.
	Hollywood's Walk of Fame, which started at Trump's star.
	They say now is the time to begin the healing process for all Americans.
	Demonstrators also hit Market Street today in San Francisco.
	It was a peaceful protest, but in the South Bay, another political battle is brewing over a high school teacher who's been placed on paid leave for comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler.
	And today he told our Maria Medina that he'd do it again.
	Hopefully we'll all learn from this.
	Frank Navarro doesn't know when he'll be in front of the classroom again after one of his history lessons.
	Why did you feel it was appropriate to compare Donald Trump to Hitler?
	Because I think it is historically factual.
	The Mountain View High teacher is accused of calling Trump Adolf Hitler and racist.
	But he says that didn't happen.
	Instead, he insists he talked to his ninth grade class about both presidential candidates.
	And as a Holocaust expert, he drew parallels to the president-elect and Hitler.
	Hitler said he'd made Germany great again.
	Donald Trump said he'd made America great again.
	Hitler focused on the Jews and the Poles as foreigners and that they should be driven from Germany.
	Donald Trump is focused on Muslims.
	Navarro isn't the only Bay Area teacher in the hot seat after Trump's win, including a Milpitas principal also on leave for using profanity about Trump.
	Right, so teachers are not helping.
	That guy's a douchebag, by the way.
	What a comparison with Hitler.
	Wow, okay.
	No, they're not helping.
	That's the point.
	I caught a little something in the first clip that I played.
	Like, kids read newspapers?
	And kids watch television?
	Hmm.
	Let's go back to the beginning of that report you had with the kids.
	I'm just going to reroute to that for a sec.
	Teachers and parents across the country report.
	Heightened anxiety and disappointment among some students, even a number of school walkouts in recent days.
	In other cases, incidents of intimidation and bullying have been reported, including graffiti with swastikas, calls for white power in a Pennsylvania high school, and Michigan middle school students chanting build that wall during lunch period.
	The NewsHour student reporting labs gathered these reactions from across the country.
	When I found out that Donald Trump won the presidential election, I was scared.
	I was just staring at my phone in shock, and I had no idea what was going to happen next.
	I've been really angry, but now I'm just tired.
	I'm tired that hate is now state-sponsored.
	I feel like a lot of students, people in general, educated themselves through social media and what was on television rather than informing themselves.
	Okay.
	Here's where my research started.
	I know one thing for sure.
	These kids are not reading newspapers, and they are not watching television.
	So where are they getting their information from?
	And I reached out to a number of millennials who listen to the show.
	I reached out to a number of the parents.
	I had a lot of parents emailing me about the rant, saying, you know, spot on.
	And I said, where, if you have kids who are really, you know, messed up, where are they getting their information from?
	What are their facts?
	What are they using as fact?
	What is their bastion of truth?
	And I figured it out.
	And I'm kicking myself because I feel that we have failed in deconstructing media.
	I know why it happened, because this one person, it's one person, John, who's still left.
	Who was responsible for this.
	We guffawed at one of his analyses and kind of left it for what it was.
	Like, screw that guy.
	We're not going to listen to him.
	And meanwhile, he became the guy whose show clips are taken from and used as proof that As proof, in fact, he even did something called the Voting Guide, which we completely missed.
	I didn't watch anyone.
	I think the guy's a douchebag.
	Do you know who I'm talking about?
	No.
	John Oliver.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, we've talked about John Oliver.
	But John Oliver, and I have...
	You think he had over-influence?
	So this started, this is when, yes, this started, and I'm putting hand in my own bosom here.
	When he did his net neutrality show, which we thought was the stupidest, wrongly, poorly informed, douchebag deconstruction of what was really going on, I just stopped watching him.
	Apparently, it was that episode that coined the phrase, the John Oliver effect.
	And when you look at his Wikipedia page, I've never done that, why would I look at it?
	He is credited with changing laws.
	I mean, there's a whole section on influence and the John Oliver effect, which of course is logical, because we know that everyone was watching the John Stewart show.
	And Jon Stewart, for whatever reason, he didn't want to be a part of this, but he direct I mean, he's executive producer.
	He directly influenced the very funny comedy that John Oliver puts together.
	And of course, Stephen Colbert was supposed to do that on network TV.
	He failed because, you know, it was funny when he was making fun of Republicans by pretending to be one.
	But then he had to make fun of Republicans without pretending to be one.
	And he can't do it.
	That's just no, he can't.
	But that was kind of his mission.
	And I so I said to parents, please, what are your kids showing you as proof that Hillary Clinton was was the candidate over Donald Trump?
	And what surfaced is this voting guide.
	And he did a whole bunch of episodes on this.
	And kids are, you know, they say, oh.
	Well, they also push it on YouTube.
	Oh, big time.
	No, it's all YouTube.
	None of them watch HBO. It's all the YouTube clips.
	I think it's Showtime.
	I thought it was HBO. Oh, it might be, but I thought it was Showtime.
	Regardless, the push on YouTube...
	And, you know, the guy has won...
	He won a Peabody Award.
	A Peabody Award!
	For journalism!
	Intellectual content.
	For journalism!
	I mean, he's won multiple primetime Emmy Awards.
	He is heralded as someone who tells it straight.
	We, for the longest time, especially the net neutrality issue...
	People are like, oh, he's great, he breaks it down.
	No, he's wrong.
	It was stupid.
	It was not at all factual, certainly not from a technical perspective.
	So we messed it up by not...
	I am calling it jihad on John Oliver.
	Everything that cocksucker says and fills these little children's heads with, I am personally going to bring that a-hole down.
	Failed British comic.
	So let me give you an example of...
	Just one example of how he compared Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump.
	And this was sent from millennials to their parents.
	It's like, this is proof.
	It's important you watch this video.
	Here is the proof why you need to not vote for Donald Trump.
	And I'm picking up the piece that we actually know a lot about, which is the Clinton Foundation.
	So he's going to deconstruct the Clinton Foundation and then compare that, he's going to try to compare it to the Trump Foundation.
	There's a small difference of, I don't know, a couple billion dollars versus one million dollars.
	But just listen to the words, listen to what he says, listen to how he covers over the wrong from Hillary Clinton.
	Let's now move on to the Clinton Foundation.
	Six months ago, it was known as the top-rated global foundation that has, among other things, helped millions around the world access lower-cost HIV treatment.
	The controversy with the Clinton Foundation is not so much what they did with their money, it's the possible conflict of interest in taking donations from individuals and foreign governments with business before the State Department.
	Now, I just want to say that right off the bat, of course, you don't expect it, but these kids never have heard about The untested AIDS drugs.
	Right, got it from India?
	Yeah.
	They never heard about that.
	Untested?
	He's not going into it, but of course, they did great things with the money.
	And the rating thing was only after they got a...
	The rating service got a big kickback of a million dollars.
	Two million dollars, and then all of a sudden, without changing their numbers at all...
	He didn't mention that.
	You're right.
	It's a good point.
	No, of course not.
	But this is important.
	I'm going to stop you right here first, just a split second.
	And I want to mention to you, I think you're right.
	I think you're onto something.
	I probably should have thought this myself.
	But what happened in the early, the very beginning of listening to John Oliver, you had dismissed him because, and you had this, it's a very mini rant.
	He says, what is a British guy doing criticizing the American systems?
	Yep.
	You made that point for some reason.
	I know why it's important.
	The one thing we've learned in deconstructing the media is a British accent always stands for quality and truth.
	Yeah, no, we know that.
	But you were just orked about that, and we probably...
	Okay, I think you're onto something here.
	Or the State Department.
	Yeah, John Oliver is really a bad actor in all this.
	He shouldn't be getting all these awards.
	He's not really a bad actor.
	He is directly responsible for disinforming millennials.
	I mean, of course, they have no way to guard their own reality, and it's not like parents are teaching them how to...
	And he's using the old Jon Stewart technique of minimizing the impact with some gag.
	Oh yeah.
	Just listen.
	Again, it's only one segment.
	It's not so much what they did with their money, it's the possible conflict of interest in taking donations from individuals and foreign governments with business before the State Department.
	So he's doing the right thing here.
	He's saying, look, there's this conflict of interest thing, and he's actually going to go into some depth about the memorandum, etc.
	But again, he's going to really just gloss over the true facts.
	And to be fair, in 2008...
	Oh yeah, there's a lot of this...
	Whenever he says, and to be fair, that's his tell that he's going to Kind of say, oh well, to be fair, she didn't do it exactly right, but forget about it.
	It's always preceded by to be fair.
	The foundation tried to head this off by promising the Obama administration they'd not only disclose all donations, but also get advance approval for any coming from certain foreign governments, which they did...
	But, a few slip through.
	There's one involving Algeria, donating half a million dollars, although there's no proof that State Department policy was swayed as a result.
	More concerning is one involving Russia, which does sound bad.
	Basically, the Canadian chairman of the mining company that was eventually sold to Russia had also given money to the Clinton Foundation.
	But, instead of doing it directly, he gave it through this Canadian affiliate, which didn't disclose his name, because it didn't have to, because the affiliate wasn't actually included in that agreement the Clinton Foundation signed with the Obama administration.
	So, neither the law nor the agreement were technically violated, though the spirit of the agreement definitely was.
	So instead of saying, that's kind of finding a loophole and cheating on the agreement, he says, yeah, it wasn't really in the spirit, but, oh, come on, it wasn't just the State Department.
	So again, this looks bad, especially given that the State Department did sign off on the sale of that uranium mill to Russia.
	But...
	Not only was Hillary not involved in that decision, but eight other federal agencies, plus the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, also had to sign off, which they did.
	So this donation was legal, but very annoyingly handled.
	And any suggestion of pay-for-play fails to account for the separate actions of nine unrelated government agencies.
	Wow.
	What a conclusion.
	So it couldn't have been pay-to-play because all these other agencies were on board, so nah, that makes no sense.
	Yeah, you need the State Department sign-off.
	Okay.
	Government agencies.
	Basically, it's complicated.
	Oh.
	And like the movie, it's complicated.
	Here we go.
	It probably would have been best for everyone if it had never happened.
	This is such a nasty trick.
	Like, you say, okay, this is really not good, but it's kind of like the movie, it's complicated.
	And then you laugh, and then you've forgotten everything.
	Okay.
	But no one broke the law.
	And look, we've spent several frustrating weeks trawling through all the innuendo and exaggeration surrounding her email and foundation scandals.
	And the worst thing you can say is, they both look bad, but the harder you look, the less you actually find.
	There's nothing there, but what is there is irritating rather than grossly nefarious.
	Okay, so now, when he says this, kids believe it.
	This is where it's instructive to compare her to her opponent, Donald Trump.
	Here we go.
	America's wealthiest hemorrhoid.
	Because, if you are...
	I mean, right off the bat, ridicule and put down...
	Right away.
	The idea of voting for Hillary because of all this.
	You need to take a long, hard look at Trump.
	If you're irritated by her lying, that is understandable.
	But he's quantifiably worse.
	PolitiFact checked around the same number of statements from both of them over the years and found around 13% of Hillary's statements to be flatly false.
	But for Trump, that figure was a whopping 53%.
	Presumably, it's only that low because the rest of the time he was saying things like this.
	If Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her.
	Oh, it's so weird.
	Yeah, that's probably true.
	Now, remember, the comparison is Trump to Clinton, and it started with the Clinton Foundation.
	He's going to get to the Trump Foundation, but wow.
	Fact is probably true is what makes it so horrifying.
	And if you're thinking, okay, Hillary may not lie as much as Trump, but she needs to be more transparent, that's fair enough.
	But, bear in mind, we know almost nothing about Trump's finances, and that is not good.
	He's the first major party nominee since 1980 not to release his tax returns, and his justification is pathetic.
	I will absolutely give my return, but I'm being audited now for two or three years, so I can't do it until the audit is finished.
	But yes, you can!
	The IRS has explicitly said you don't need to wait for a completed audit to release them.
	You're just saying two completely unrelated things.
	Or, I'd love to pick you up from the airport, but I can't because a blue whale's tongue weighs as much as an elephant.
	What the f*** are you talking about?
	Those two things have nothing to do with each other.
	And notice we really haven't gotten any substance about Trump or what he's doing.
	It's still just ridicule.
	And on top of Trump's personal tax records, there are unanswered questions about his business dealings.
	As many experts have pointed out, his investments, debts and business ties span the globe and could present unprecedented ethical challenges for a president.
	Now traditionally, presidential candidates in that kind of situation promise to put their financial holdings into a blind trust, where an independent trustee is given control over their investments.
	But when Trump was asked if he would do that as well, He seemed not to know what it meant.
	Alright, so it just goes on and on from there.
	But you understand the point.
	This guy has been lifted up into a position of truth or fact or I think a good fact or whatever people want to hear.
	High influence.
	He is the influencer.
	I cannot find anyone who influences millennials more, from my small survey granted, who influences millennials more than Than this guy.
	And by the way, his main writer is also a British guy.
	He's got a good team.
	Good, large team of writers.
	Many of them have worked for Jon Stewart in the past.
	Yes.
	And they're all Democrat, Republican haters of the highest order.
	All of them.
	So I will make it my personal mission.
	And I would say Jon Stewart is behind the whole thing.
	Oh, he's totally behind it.
	That's probably why he didn't want to be a part of it.
	And it makes nothing but sense.
	He does show up on Colbert trying to save that show once in a while, but he's always just come on looking like some sort of a bomb.
	Exactly.
	And there's your proof.
	He's trying to save that show.
	And this is part of the overall problem, in my opinion, is it is exactly this snarky ridicule Which, man, that word snarky's popped up a couple times this week.
	That snarky ridicule, I mean, no wonder if night after, Trevor Noah, not as many people watch anymore, but night after night is the same thing.
	And it's always saying, the guy you stand behind is stupid, dumb, sexist, xenophobe, blah, blah, blah.
	It goes on and on and on.
	And it's just snarky.
	And so, yeah, so when people get a chance, what are they going to do?
	Yeah.
	They're going to make it happen.
	So John Oliver, fuck you.
	I got your number.
	Okay.
	We'll keep...
	We need a jingle.
	We need a jingle.
	Adam goes after John Oliver somehow.
	Some sort of jingle.
	Somebody can provide us that and then you can use it when you want to go into one of these rants.
	Yep.
	And I just got to stay on this.
	I think you're dead right.
	I mean, I'm remiss myself, I'd say, for not picking up on this because...
	I've noticed it.
	I've heard people, oh, did you see the John Oliver bit?
	Did you see the John Oliver bit?
	I'm like, fuck, I don't want to watch that guy.
	He's a douche.
	We should have watched.
	We should have watched.
	I feel bad.
	Yeah, this was a mistake.
	Well, it didn't really make a difference in the election, but as he'd hoped, but it did make a difference in the riots.
	And moving forward, look, no wonder people listen to our show.
	No wonder there's, you know, millennials who are switched on.
	They say, holy crap, this is something completely different than what I'm hearing.
	It's an awakening of epic proportions when it happens.
	I know because I went through it myself with the Lisbon Treaty when this whole program started just before that.
	Like, wow, the media is saying something completely different than what the EU is supposed to be.
	And lo and behold, it's not exactly what was promised.
	So, television is unimportant.
	And I'm sure there's other influencers like Oliver, or they will pop up, and I need every producer who's listening to the show, producer of the show, to help us find him.
	And we have to stop it, because this is a very big problem.
	Yeah, it's a propaganda outlet.
	Yeah.
	For a specific, very specific agenda.
	Yeah.
	And it needs to be recognized and needs to be called out that way, I'd say.
	Yeah, if it's recognized, it's okay, but it's not.
	That's the problem, as you said.
	I have two things from the Eurolands.
	Which, of course, a lot of it's about the election today.
	I always watch this.
	It's the Euronews State of the Union is what it's called.
	It's in French, but they have an English translator.
	And on this show, they brought in a professor from Brussels.
	She's American, I believe.
	So this was like, oh wow, fine, I got something without, you know, just English is being spoken.
	And she had some thoughts on Trump, but specifically how this will relate to the EU in 2017.
	And obviously we have a relation to Brexit and, you know, what is happening on the world stage with people who have a vote.
	Do you see any parallels there between Trump's victory and the Brexit results?
	I see incredible parallels.
	I mean, the level of anger that was present in the British public that led so many of them to vote against being in the union with the continent and the level of anger that's been present.
	When one listens to Trump rallies, you hear the sound and you hear The sound is, for many Europeans, frightening, has echoes that go back rather far.
	The sound about how the media is treated, I saw one of his speeches in Scranton the night before the election, where the booing of the media was louder than the booing for Hillary Clinton.
	Incredible, incredible anger and mistrust of everything that is the establishment.
	And there could be some more consequences to come in Europe as well because, as you know, there are huge elections in 2017 on this side of the Atlantic.
	The French are choosing a new president, elections in the Netherlands and also a general election in Germany.
	To what extent do you think so-called populist parties could now be galvanised by what they've seen in the United States this past 24 hours?
	I fear very much that they will be galvanized, and I'm not exactly sure how to doctor a counter-message that would be successful, partially because of the state of the world today.
	I like that she says, I wouldn't know how to doctor a counter-message.
	Is that what she does there in Brussels?
	Yeah, she doctors things.
	I like that.
	You know, there's a very, to me, a crazy irony about that clip.
	The whole thing is ironic that you have Marie Le Pen and all those people.
	The public is taking a cue from our elections, but it's not...
	Taking a cue from Trump, really.
	It's taking a cue of the perceived Trump.
	The way Trump is presented by the media as a racist, a misogynist, a xenophobe, all the things that the right tends to be a little bit more for different reasons and different perspectives in Europe.
	The right being a little more aggressive in those regards, because Trump's not really a right-winger, per se, by any means.
	No, at all.
	But if you're going to portray him that way, it's giving the go-ahead, because we are the world's leaders, for all practical purposes, and the world's policemen.
	I think there's a very funny irony about the cue to Europe being a bullcrap cue to begin with.
	Yeah.
	Because it's based on a lie.
	Yeah.
	Yep.
	Which is funny, and then we'll see what happens.
	So this did not go unnoticed, and I was surprised to see a speech from the guy that I always liked, which is Frans Timmermans.
	Initially, he was the Undersecretary of State of Foreign Affairs for the Netherlands, and I had him on the radio show, the station that got burned to the ground.
	This is the guy who goes to Bilderberg, and he's a total New World Order guy, and he pulled me apart, and he said, because the show we were doing was very critical, Certainly of the EU. And he said, you know, you guys are doing a good thing.
	This is very good.
	And I still to this day don't really understand why he was giving me such props.
	And then later I saw him at the airport back when I was, you know, had enough money to fly my own plane.
	And the prime minister was there and all the muckety-mucks were taking the big government plane to go somewhere.
	And he specifically pulled me in to meet the prime minister.
	The guy is very interesting.
	Franz Timmermans.
	Later, the actual foreign minister of the Netherlands.
	And now he's the fixer in the European Council.
	He's a very high-placed job, and here's what he had to say.
	If too many people in your society have the feeling that this society is not about them, that this society does not deliver for them, it doesn't reflect their aspirations or their hopes, They will become angry.
	And this is not an American phenomenon.
	It's a phenomenon we see in the whole Western world.
	And it's about time we woke up to that phenomenon.
	One of the things we need to actually finally really understand is that this whole concept of trickle-down economics...
	Didn't really work, did it?
	For large parts of the populations.
	And we need to fix that.
	That's what we need to fix.
	And I'm not making party politics here because, you know, when I look at our troubles and when I look at where we are, you know, more often than not I'm beyond party politics because it's become so big, this problem, that we can only solve it together.
	But this, for me, is the core of the problem.
	The social contract in our societies needs to be renovated, needs to be written again in a way that the signature of all groups in the society can be below that social contract.
	I love what he's saying here.
	Well...
	They're not happy, so we should just use different words.
	Keep rewriting it until everyone's happy with it.
	Don't change what you're doing.
	Just keep rewriting the words.
	And that's what we missed out on in the Western world.
	And whenever people were sharing those worries, all too often we came with our statistics.
	No, you're not poor.
	Look at this.
	You're not poor.
	You think you're poor?
	You're not.
	If people have the feeling they are there, if people have the feeling others in society benefit All the time.
	And they never benefit.
	This creates a resentment that should not be disparaged or diminished.
	I think what I find painful, what infuriates me, is when the people who are angry and dissatisfied are dismissed.
	And I think that's been done too much.
	People are angry and dissatisfied because they have reason to be angry and dissatisfied.
	It's about time we got that memo.
	What do you think of that?
	I think he's nailed it, but...
	I don't know what his solution to that is, is getting voted out.
	He's just one of the few guys who actually said, hey, you know, this is what's going on.
	He didn't say racism or any of that.
	That was, I don't know, to me, like, well...
	Well, it's the elites, it seems to me, who push the racism meme above all because they know that this could be a problem for them.
	Yes.
	And so you have to find ways to...
	Marginalize anybody bitching.
	Oh, you're just a racist.
	It's just the classic.
	In fact, you even have Brooks there on PBS saying it.
	Because he's an elitist.
	He works for the New York Times, for God's sake.
	What an elitist operation that is.
	I really loved...
	Scott Adams pointed to this as the...
	What do you call it?
	The cognitive dissonance cluster bomb.
	Yeah.
	And he said, look at the 24 reasons CNN gave as to why Hillary Clinton lost, or why Donald Trump won, I should say.
	This is a fantastic list.
	So we already know it was Kobe.
	But, seems like not everyone's going to adhere to that, so how about, you want to hear the list?
	Yeah.
	Alright.
	Here we go, number one.
	He won because of Facebook and its inability or unwillingness to crack down on fake news.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Number two.
	Because of social media, generally.
	Okay.
	Because of low voter turnout.
	Because celebrity outlasts substance.
	How about that one?
	Weak.
	Because of white women, who are of course just as racist as their male counterparts.
	Because of white male resentment.
	Okay.
	Because, well, Russia!
	Because the left and coastal elites shamed Trump supporters.
	Yeah, I'll give them that one.
	That didn't help.
	Because rural Midwesterners don't get out of the house enough.
	That's my favorite right there.
	Gotta get out of the house more, man.
	You gotta get out of the house to do some plowing.
	You don't know what's going on.
	Because the Democratic Party establishment didn't push Bernie Sanders.
	Yeah, there's a lot of people.
	That's for sure.
	Yeah, interesting how, you know, the Republican Party will never be the same.
	It's true, of course.
	They're going to blow up, implode, and now it appears that what actually happened is the Democratic Party is imploding.
	And everyone knows, there's another meme out there, oh, if only they had chosen Bernie, he would have beat Trump easily.
	Next on the list.
	Because Reagan Democrats surged in Michigan and the Midwest.
	Ah, number twelve, hey, whatever you say, do not blame the Millennials.
	It wasn't their fault.
	No, it was because, number 13, because of Gary Johnson and Jill Stein.
	Yes, oh yeah.
	I don't think there's any evidence that they...
	No, not any, but no sensible person is making that argument.
	14, because political correctness set off a nasty backlash.
	Yeah, I'd say that's partially to blame.
	15, because he simply listened to the American people.
	Whoa.
	Number 16, because college-educated Americans are out of touch.
	With reality, for sure.
	Because Americans are biased, but not against any race, ethnicity, or gender.
	I'm not quite sure how that works.
	Because voters believe the system was corrupt.
	Because he remembered forgotten men and women of America.
	This is the meme.
	I've seen this meme.
	Have you seen this one?
	Yeah, but how are you interpreting it?
	The way I've seen it interpreted is this happened with Ronald Reagan, and before Reagan it happened with, I want to say, are they saying...
	I can't remember.
	Some other president.
	Which must have been from the 32...
	Roosevelt, I guess, yeah?
	It would be Roosevelt.
	You'll see the forgotten men and women of America as a meme.
	Almost there.
	Because Democrats focus more on turning out supporters than growing the base?
	That's political stuff I don't understand.
	Because the Democratic National Committee selected the less competitive candidate?
	Well, you certainly selected the poor one.
	No.
	Number 22, Trump did not win because of racism.
	Number 23, not because of Comey.
	And number 24, because of Comey.
	So I guess Hillary just looked at how many times the word Comey showed up and said, yeah, we'll use that one.
	Well, this is going to be...
	I've been retweeting a lot of very well-written articles by both sides of the aisle that are extremely well thought out.
	It does boil down to, I think, the general idea that Wood Shields said, which is that We're not making any progress.
	Obama hasn't done anything for anyone, from what I can tell, even though, oh, he's so accomplished.
	I don't know what he's done.
	He came in with hope and change.
	There was no hope.
	There was no change.
	We still have Gitmo.
	We still have people overseas.
	We have these never-ending wars.
	I think Chris Matthews had a good one.
	He had a rant recently.
	He did.
	And it was good.
	And it had Maddow just completely beside herself.
	He just can't...
	I don't know how long she's going to continue without actually having to be, you know, sedated.
	You know, Morning Joe actually had a good segment, which I didn't play earlier, where they went through the headlines, the headlines that were available in New York, and they, of course, they're holding them up, almost like a British morning show.
	They're holding up the newspapers with the headlines, which I have always liked about British TV. Yeah, the French do it, too.
	Yeah, that's great.
	Yeah.
	And when you look at these headlines, pretty much none of them says, oh my god, this is the greatest upset in history.
	Look at what has happened.
	No.
	Quite the opposite, especially the New York Times.
	Insane, their headline of Trump winning.
	And I just want to play this.
	You'll hear Mika and Joe.
	They're beside themselves.
	I just don't understand.
	How can they stay on MSNBC? Why does MSNBC put up with them?
	I have no idea.
	Okay, here they are.
	Look at the headline of this story.
	Look at the headline of this story.
	This is the day after.
	A surprising underdog sweeping victory.
	And their headline is not disaffected Americans have a champion going to the White House or the country votes for fundamental change.
	The headline's about how disappointed the friends of the people who run the New York Times are about what's happened.
	I mean, it's amazing.
	It's amazing to me that this is the headline of the New York Times.
	And I'm not picking on the Times, but it's a great example.
	Look at this.
	This is staggering.
	It really is, Mark.
	I'm glad you brought this up.
	It's the onion.
	This shows that the editors of the New York Times, who I do, I have the greatest respect for them, they don't get it.
	This is actually a Saturday Night Live skit.
	You went to a cocktail party the night before, and you decided to write this.
	It's, you know, when I thought Trump had a chance to lose, which I did, I thought he had a chance to win it, I said to liberals, he's going to get 42 million votes.
	42 million people are going to vote for him.
	What are they voting for?
	And this is their headline.
	That's their newsroom.
	If a Democratic candidate who was thought to, had a 10% chance of winning by the New York Times, had ended up winning and winning red states as Trump won blue states, I don't think that would have been the headline.
	No.
	And I'll just say again, The responsibility of journalists is to not report on their biases.
	It's to go out and understand the country through the prism of the election and say, why are people feeling the way they're feeling?
	And I'm just stunned at how people are reacting.
	By the way, let's talk about some people who did it right.
	The Boston Globe.
	They did it right.
	It was a seismic shift.
	Now listen, we're all saying...
	That we thought Trump could have won.
	We're just as shocked as you that he won the way he did.
	So nobody's sitting here saying, you know, we had a crystal ball.
	But the thing is, understand, across divide, the Washington Post writes, all eyes on Trump.
	Can I just say one more thing?
	And yeah, I just want to say, the Wall Street Journal had, I think, probably the best headline.
	A new political order.
	So...
	Unprecedented, really.
	The type of headlines and reporting we got.
	Really unprecedented.
	So, this program, I think, this podcast, this little mp3 that flies around the net, is pretty damn important moving forward.
	No one's got, no one has anything straight.
	At least we can wade our way a little bit through it because we have no restrictions and we won't be shamed by our colleagues.
	Well, not being shamed, we won't be cowed by our advertisers.
	This is the thing that I like the most about our model.
	And you can see it.
	It's open.
	It's open to see the problem with the mainstream media.
	You can see they're openly discussing what their problems are.
	And it is exactly in these days, particularly with my new Jihad against Oliver, that we need your support more than more, more than ever.
	I'm going to show myself a little by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
	Remind me to give people a wine tip out there.
	Okay.
	Ed Laboutier, $150, parts unknown, says keep up the great work.
	These are people that helped us out for show $877, I believe.
	I could be wrong.
	Louis Pipkin in Tallahassee, Florida, $113.11.
	There's a nice note.
	Sir Laurie Jutilla in Helsinki, Florida, $111.11.
	Johnny says, it's time to make it rain for no agenda.
	We're all for that.
	Yeah, make it rain, baby.
	Get one of those guns.
	Jonathan Bell in Caulfield, North Victoria, Australia, $100.
	Michael DiPietro in Brooklyn, New York, $100.
	The following people gave the 8888 SACA 8s, which is to celebrate both the show 880 coming up, a lucky number show, which is not, what, in three shows?
	On Thanksgiving, actually.
	Yes.
	On Thanksgiving.
	On Thanksgiving itself.
	That's right.
	Yes.
	And then after that, 8888888.
	Yep, nailed it.
	Anthony Fields, parts unknown.
	Nancy Mixo in Mays Landing, New Jersey.
	Michael Dennis in Auburn Hills in Michigan.
	There's a Michigan meetup, by the way.
	Kevin Grant in Vancouver, BC. Aaron DeShane in Parts Unknown.
	Aaron has a call-out.
	Oh, yeah.
	I call out Robert Tito who was a cooch cow as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	He doesn't give any reason.
	He just does it.
	He doesn't need it.
	Sir Michael Lamb in London, UK. Jay Cuthrol, I guess.

	Thank you for the quantum of sanity in media.
	Quantum of sanity, nice.
	Your media deconstruction has the quality of Intel briefings, and listening to you guys is entertaining.
	Unlike Intel Briefings.
	Yes, Intel Briefings are not entertaining.
	I've been listening to NA forever now.
	All I need to continue donating is a little jobs karma.
	I'll put that at the end for everybody.
	And don't eat me, Hillary Clinton.
	I think she's offstage.
	Okay, keep up the good work.
	Love you, no homo.

	Thank you for the note.

	Douchebag!
	For not donating.
	Apparently he's had something to do with their buddies.
	He's not donating and becoming a producer, but still complaining about your mansplaining and millennial slamming.
	Butt slam!
	Well, we love millennials who have a clue.
	Yeah, so David probably doesn't.
	And we have them.
	And we have them.
	William Wellborn in Kennesaw, Georgia.
	I'm sorry, just realize.
	The millennials who are listening to our show, they're going to be our army.

	I want to remind people to go to dvorak.org to help us out on the next Thursday show.
	We hope to get a pretty good response.
	Yes, and of course, thanks to everyone who came in under $50, usually for reasons of anonymity, but certainly all of those on subscriptions.
	Keep that going.
	That helps a lot in the slower periods when we still have a small base to continue on.
	Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
	Thank you, everybody, for supporting the program.
	Another one, as said, coming up on, what, Thursday?

	Samuel Dank says happy birthday to his son Joseph, turning 6 on the 16th.
	And Jennifer Autumn and Calvin say happy birthday to Carlos Pesina, celebrating on the 15th of November.
	Happy birthday from all your buddies here at the best podcast in the universe.
	And sadly, no changes, no nights, nothing today.
	Oh, did you, speaking of journalists, did you read Bill Moyer's letter to America?
	Bill Moyer had something on his site that I did cite on Twitter, but I didn't read his material.
	No.
	He wrote an open letter.
	Oh, an open letter.
	Yes.
	I'm wondering if I should put some music under this, actually.
	I can play a harmonica.
	Yeah, can you play something a little sad, though?
	Can you play some sad stuff?
	Sad?
	Sad.
	We need sad.
	I should probably do a little echo.
	Farewell, America. . . .
	America died on November 8th, 2016, not with a bang or a whimper, but at its own hand via electoral suicide.
	We, the people, chose a man who has shredded our values.
	Our morals, our compassion, our tolerance, our decency, our sense of common purpose, our very identity, all the things that, however tenuously, made a nation out of a country.
	I'm going to stop there.
	laughs We should actually produce that.
	That was damn nice, Mr.
	Dvorak.
	You've got it down.
	I'm very impressed.
	Yeah, we'll work on it.
	Sad songs.
	He said a lot more, but I think this was...
	He's full of crap, that guy.
	These guys are just knee-jerk Democrats, and then they're going on and on.
	Why don't they just do something?
	Something about the mess they've made.
	They're losing all the houses, except California, of course, were so democratic, it's ridiculous.
	They concentrate on places like this.
	And every place else, they refuse to get involved, it looks like, because they've lost all these legislatures from all these different various states.
	I know.
	Oh, I did want to do something very important.
	Since no one else seems to do it or be interested, I would like to honor three women.
	Three women who have done, have been a part of something historic?
	I would like to honor Katrina Pearson, Kayleigh McEnany, and Kellyanne Conway.
	These women suffered a year and a half of ridicule.
	Oh, yeah.
	And Kellyanne Conway, certainly the first female campaign manager to take a campaign to presidency.
	Could we just have a moment for them?
	Good work, ladies.
	Yeah.
	They did great work.
	And she took a lot of abuse.
	And she was pretty good at it.
	She went on a lot of MSNBC stuff and they just ridiculed her.
	Yep.
	There's an old clip of Ann Coulter on the Bill Maher show from a few years ago when she was predicting Trump.
	Oh, she's ridiculed?
	She is just ridiculed.
	And that new black woman that's on CNN. Joy Reid.
	Joy was on.
	And she's laughing and she's pointing.
	You don't happen to have that clip, do you?
	No, too bad.
	I'll get it for next show.
	Okay, I have one more clip here that is worth playing.
	I'm sure everyone kind of saw it.
	But after you have already seen it and you listen to it a couple times, it becomes that much better.
	This is the CNN interviewing a so-called millennial on the streets of Chicago about protests.
	And it turns out that this is not...
	I can blow it for you right away because everyone's seen this.
	It turns out this guy is just a cameraman who works for CNN. Yeah, it was great.
	But now when you listen to it again...
	Yeah, and Don Lemon is a moron.
	That's the funniest part.
	But when you listen to it again, now that you forget about the payoff, listen to this guy...
	He is acting poorly.
	Just like many of the big TV shows, we used to play a lot more of those.
	John would bring in the bad acting clip from CSI. Bad acting.
	When you don't see the visuals, you hear it that much better.
	Listen to this actor.
	And then, of course, Don Lemon, just because he's a narcissistic douche, has to say, oh, I know him.
	And he ruins the whole bit.
	So you don't feel like this was a fair election because it looks like Donald Trump won fair and square.
	How did he win fair and square?
	Hillary had more votes.
	More human beings voted for Hillary.
	This isn't fair.
	We didn't get one vote.
	You didn't get a vote.
	It's just like back in the day when your vote was one third.
	Electoral College, here's somebody who wants to blow that up.
	You want to get rid of Electoral College?
	Just count the votes.
	It's ridiculous.
	Hillary, you're a lawyer.
	Walk in.
	Go to the Supreme Court.
	I believe in you, Hillary.
	I've been to Rwanda.
	I've been to your hospital in Rwanda.
	I've seen all the good you've done.
	I believe in you.
	Women need you.
	Minorities need you.
	I need you.
	Chicago needs you.
	We all need you.
	This country needs you to stand up and walk into the Supreme Court and say one vote equals one vote.
	What's wrong with that?
	What's the debate?
	I definitely feel his passion.
	There's other people out here who feel the same way.
	At one point, you had people who were blocking his roads.
	Chicago police moved in.
	Everything has remained peaceful.
	Like I said, Don, as you see, thousands of people still continue to gather.
	But like you heard this man, very passionate about the idea he doesn't want Hillary to sign.
	Yeah.
	Brian, you know I used to live there, and I know that guy.
	That's John Gerkovic.
	He actually went to Africa with me as a cameraman.
	But anyway, that's another story.
	All right.
	Thank you, John.
	Thank you very much, Ryan.
	I want to get back to Jason.
	What an idiot!
	Oh, I know that guy.
	You mean the guy who just said Hillary Clinton should go in and tell the Supreme Court that she won and ignore the Constitution?
	That guy?
	One vote is one vote!
	Whoa.
	I mean, this guy was handed a script that says, whatever you do, just say, you know, forget.
	The guy doesn't even know what the Electoral College is about.
	Doesn't know civics.
	Oh, just say, popular vote.
	Well, here, play the Larry O'Donnell clip.
	Hillary Clinton got more votes than Donald Trump, but Donald Trump will become the next president because of a political card trick on December 19th when the Electoral College meets to override the will of the voters of this country for the second time in 16 years.
	And Trump voters should now be beginning to see that Donald Trump will become president because of tricks.
	Silly wabbit.
	Twix is for kids!
	This is a trick.
	It's a trick!
	Yeah, I'm sure you've seen the...
	Unbelievable to me that he...
	This is the...
	I know there's one thing going on.
	Some Silicon Valley douche.
	I haven't figured out who it is yet.
	He has a plan.
	This is a great plan.
	His plan is to convince every single one of the states to enact some form of reform before December 19th Which will enable the electoral votes to change to Hillary Clinton without penalty.
	And he says, if we can get all 50 states to do it, then we can win.
	I know.
	Isn't that great?
	So, yeah, this idea of tricks, I mean, if anything, I heard exactly, we discussed on this very show for a point, I thought, well, Trump will probably win the general vote, or the, you know, yeah, just the overall vote, more votes, but he's probably going to win the Electoral College.
	I think that was the general thinking, even.
	And it flip-flopped, and now it's no good.
	Hey, boy, boy, boy, boy.
	He's a populist, so he would win the general vote.
	That's one of the epithets.
	He's a populist.
	He's a loser populist.
	He's just appealing.
	He's a demagogue, which they kind of dropped that a little bit because demagogue, if you know the definition, it means you appeal to the popular opinions.
	It's nothing more than that.
	So he appeals to the popular opinions, supposedly, or he doesn't.
	But if he's a demagogue, he does.
	And so he would naturally win the general election popular vote, but he would lose the electoral college.
	That was just the opposite.
	Tricks, I tell you.
	Tricks.
	Because of tricks.
	And abusive children not only taking place in the United States.
	Oh, nice.
	We didn't cover it as much this year because it's just tiring.
	It's the same story over and over again.
	The Dutch children have been severely abused with visuals and all kinds of frightening things, as the Black Pete controversy, now in its fourth or fifth year, I don't even want to go into it too deeply, but this is a children's party, it's a children's day when St.
	Nicholas comes from Spain on his steamboat, and he's on his white horse, and he looks a bit like a saint, you know, with his staff and his hat and everything, and he has his Black Pete's, has been this way for over a thousand years, And the Black Peets, they come along and they do tricks and they're making fun of kids and they pretend to put them in the sack if they've been bad and they'll take them back to Spain or they give them presents and put them in their shoes.
	And, you know, mainly United Nations douchebags have come along and said, well, this is racism.
	This is blackface.
	It's a completely different culture.
	But no, I'm not going to get into that.
	But the good St.
	Nicholas arrived.
	Was it...
	Yesterday or two days ago in the Netherlands, and it was disgusting.
	Everywhere there were police helicopters, SWAT teams, explosive ordinance teams, children and parents were frisked.
	Kids have been traumatized by this bullcrap.
	And it's all adults who are yelling at each other.
	Meanwhile, the children have just been traumatized to no end.
	Oh, let's go see the same thing.
	Mommy, why are they all angry?
	Why is the bomb squad here?
	It's crazy.
	Wow.
	That's us.
	Go fight racism, not kids' parties, okay?
	Idiots.
	Black Pete.
	Yeah.
	Was he black because he was like a chimney sweep or something?
	Yeah, well, there's a number of different ways that it's explained.
	It's irrelevant.
	Now, here's bad news.
	Bad news, you know, the military context.
	Oh, my God.
	Did we talk about this after the show, John?
	What happened with Mark's movie, Mark Hall's documentary?
	Did we talk about that?
	Not any.
	No.
	Should we mention this?
	If you feel like it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I think it's kind of interesting.
	We got a request from one of our military contacts for an online screener of Mark Hall's movie Killing Ed about Fethullah Gulen and the charter schools.
	And so I passed the message on.
	The charter school scam.
	Let's make sure we put that in a little bit.
	The charter school scam.
	Well, big scam when it involves Gulen.
	And so I contacted Mark and said, hey man, can you put up a screener because General Michael Flynn wants to see it.
	It's like, okay.
	So he put it up.
	And like the next day, Flynn writes an op-ed in Newsweek about how he wants to extradite Gulen.
	Now, I don't know if we're directly responsible, but I feel pretty damn good about it.
	I'm tracking that guy for a while.
	Dang.
	Go no agenda, go podcasting.
	I really think it's just a coincidence.
	Could be a coincidence, but there you have it.
	But anyway, none of that is news anymore for the military, guys.
	What's happening now is Mosul.
	Yes, Mosul.
	Big, big problem.
	You know, the oil wells are burning again.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Just out of the last show.
	And this is not a coincidence.
	This is what I found out.
	Over 100 former high-ranking officials that worked for Saddam Hussein are now in charge of ISIS. And it's the same playbook.
	Oh, this I did not know.
	It is the playbook.
	I just heard about this this morning.
	So, let me just get this straight.
	Since 2003...
	We're now full circle back with the same A-holes in, no, 1990!
	The first, remember, it was the first Gulf War.
	When they're burning the wells.
	Yeah.
	So we've now come full circle 25 years later.
	And the same people are doing the same.
	And trillions of dollars of money that could have been spent on the roads in California that are filled with potholes.
	Definitely.
	Potholes, not dead bodies.
	I'm all for that.
	Unbelievable!
	I mean, this is a failure of epic proportions.
	And Mosul Airport has now been sabotaged.
	All runways are sabotaged.
	No more taking off.
	No more planes.
	Military.
	Yep, this is not going to end well.
	Well, we got some good news in California.
	Pot being illegal.
	Well, yeah, the pot being legal is one of them, but we always like to be, we're one of the most popular, or the most popular state, and we like to be number one.
	Yeah.
	So the clip is Cal is number one.
	Tonight a killer novel opioid nicknamed Pink is back in the headlines.
	The DEA has now issued its final order on the synthetic drug.
	It spells out why Pink, formerly known as U47700, is such a public health threat and why it should be temporarily banned.
	One lab links Pink to more than 120 deaths.
	Whether it's pink or a prescription painkiller, California now leads the nation in opioid-related overdoses.
	And we learned that doctors are even prescribing opioids to children.
	Oh, hey kids!
	Are you upset about Trump?
	Have some opioids.
	Is your child suffering from post-election trauma disorder?
	Give the kids some heroin.
	Excellent.
	U47700, pinky or pink, opioid analgesic drug developed by a team at Upjohn in the 70s.
	Hmm.
	What do you know about this drug, John?
	I heard that report.
	I never heard of it.
	Just like apparently you didn't.
	No, never heard of this.
	No, but I guess it was a big deal around here.
	They had to put a stop to it.
	Yeah, well, it's opioid.
	Huh.
	Yeah, we're number one.
	I think this is a t-shirt worthy.
	U-47700.
	People just go, what is that, man?
	No, don't worry.
	It's all good.
	Something from Up, John.
	Well, congratulations, John, on your number one ranking in California.
	Yes.
	Good work.
	Well, we got to do something.
	Excellent.
	Because really, you know, you can get a sore back.
	Yeah.
	And you need opioids from all the potholes.
	All right.
	Got anything else for us to go?
	Well, I do have, I got Chichikon on Soros if you wanted to play that jingle, but we can put that off.
	You sure?
	I'm always happy to do a Chichikhan. Chichikhan.
	Yeah, we can do it.
	Chichikhan. Chichikhan. Chichikhan. Chichikhan.
	Gaini. Chichikhan. Chichikhan.
	Let me write this song I want to do. Chichikhan. Chichikhan.
	Let me write this up for you.
	That's right, everybody.
	It is Gaiyan Chichikhan.
	She is probably the most knowledgeable, the hottest, the slickest on RT Russia today.
	That's right.
	Here she is with a report.
	What do we have from her today, John?
	She's talking about how Soros is behind a lot of problems.
	Here we go.
	There's more on that.
	Outraged by Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election, tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets across the U.S. to protest.
	Many demonstrators are refusing to accept Trump's victory.
	It looks like advocacy groups played a hand in organizing the seemingly spontaneous protests.
	Among them, an organization called Move On, which is funded by George Soros, a Hillary Clinton supporter and billionaire.
	The day after Trump was elected, the group sent out a press release saying...
	Within two hours of the call to action, MoveOn members had created more than 200 gatherings nationwide, with the number continuing to grow on Wednesday afternoon.
	The presidential campaign showed there is no love lost between Donald Trump and George Soros, who was one of Hillary Clinton's top donors.
	You are in a position where you're being attacked by MoveOn and these other very well organized radical left groups.
	You know it, your security knows it, Secret Service knows it.
	That's going to continue.
	Do you have a plan on how you're going to handle that?
	Well, it is going to continue because the last person they want to face, the Democrats want to face, is me.
	And the last person Hillary Clinton wants to face is me.
	That was during the election campaign.
	But apparently Trump's victory in the election didn't stop the Soros organization from campaigning against him.
	Those who are stirring it up, and they do, many of them work for George Soros' front organisations, are really telling those innocent protesters, and perhaps less innocent protesters, that they're in danger, that they're endangered by Trump, even though Trump has done nothing but preach unity since he actually won the election.
	In essence, what the opponents of Trump now are doing is exactly what they accused him of planning to do if he lost, which is disputing the results of an entirely fair election.
	It's an election where they've had all the media power and more of the money, and yet they've lost to him and to the voice of those ordinary people in the American shires who are normally ignored and forgotten.
	George Soros is known for stirring up anti-government protests in other countries.
	And it looks like the upcoming Trump administration might see a few.
	The Soros Organization went beyond protesting.
	MoveOn released a petition calling to change the U.S. Constitution and get rid of the Electoral College, which gave Trump his victory.
	There are now some apparently well-funded attempts to undermine Trump's victory in the election.
	The irony is that many Clinton backers who are now slamming America's electoral system were praising it and scolding anyone who criticized it just days before the vote.
	In Washington.
	I'm going to check it out.
	Whoa!
	You got butt slam.
	Yo.
	Oh.
	Yo.
	All right.
	We'll get a report.
	Yeah, well, we keep our eye on Soros for his next move.
	Be on the lookout for purple.
	Be on the lookout for purple, I'd say.
	Purple is the key.
	And, oh, I do want to thank Sir Gene, who dropped by last night, like, at 10 o'clock, and he dropped off two autographed copies of the book Pendulum.
	Are you familiar with this book?
	No.
	It's by Roy H. Williams and Michael R. Drew.
	How past generations shape our present and predict our future.
	Hmm.
	And it's signed by the authors, so that's nice.
	I'll bring mine out when I see you in 2018.
	Yes, absolutely.
	Alright, if you've got nothing else, I think we can wrap it up, John.
	I think we're good for today.
	I think so, too.
	We will have lots more on Thursday, obviously, as we continue to deconstruct.
	Um...
	Continue to monitor everything, everything we can, and tell you what's going on, what's happening.
	Right now, we keep our eyes on the Electoral College bowl of crap.
	Bowl of crap.
	And what else?
	Well, you're going to keep your eye on John Oliver.
	Oh, hell yeah.
	I have an agenda.
	That's right.
	I now have an agenda.
	And I'll listen to Rachel Maddow for one more week, and then I think I'm going to have to switch to something else.
	Thanks for jumping on that grenade.
	I appreciate it.
	Tough one.
	Yeah, it's a tough one.
	Someone's got to do it.
	Someone's got to do it.
	That is it for our show for today.
	Thank you very much for supporting us.
	Remember, we do have another show coming up on Thursday.
	Remember us at Dvorak.org slash MA. Thank you, all producers.
	Produces in many ways.
	Art, clips, ideas, thoughts, intel, finance.
	Without you, we couldn't do it.
	Here at the Crackpot Condo in the skyscraper in downtown Austin Tejas, FEMA Region 6, in case you're looking forward on the map.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where Plato say, man who prepare venison meal every day, sure to pass the buck.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll talk to you again on Thursday, right here on No Agenda.
	Adios, mofos!
	Now, a lot of celebrities, the Korean sub-subs said they were going to move to Canada if he actually won.
	I mean, all of us said that.
	That was said in jets.
	We're not going anywhere.
	All right, all right.
	He is going to have the fight of his life.
	We want them to know that we're in.
	I guess this is awful.
	And even though we can't take everything, it feels good to be together with my brother and my sister.
	That's a guy, by the way.
	We can't let everyone know that we are not okay with this.
	Luckily, we have someone to protect us from the evil Dr. Trump.
	From the evil Dr. Trump.
	I like that.
