	Why do you even torment yourself with this stuff?
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	Yeah, Sunday, January 15, 2017.
	This is your award-winning Game on Asian Media Assassination, Episode 8, 9, or 5.
	This is No Agenda.
	Coming to you from a place I should not be right now.
	And broadcasting live from the darkest corners on the internet.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm finishing off 10 pounds, cooking as we speak, of pulled pork.
	I'm John C. DeVore.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Oh!
	No.
	Pulled pork.
	Yeah.
	Nice.
	Hey, guess where I am?
	Guess where I am?
	I want to talk about the pulled pork first.
	Alright, go ahead.
	Talk about the pulled pork.
	Started cooking at 6 o'clock yesterday.
	Now, for people who have no idea, and there are a lot, Europeans go, pulled what?
	Pulled what?
	Pulled pork.
	By the way, this effort just went by.
	Great.
	There are people who send me emails about this.
	I mean, I'm mentioning it.
	Ha ha ha!
	They're monitoring the Zephyr.
	Hey, wait a minute!
	It's true.
	Alright, get to your pulled pork.
	Okay, pulled pork is a long-cooked pork.
	It's a methodology.
	It's perfected in the South, as far as I'm concerned.
	Especially in the Georgia, Florida, Alabama area.
	Georgia has, I think, the most definitive pulled pork.
	Anyway, you cook a shoulder or a butt.
	It's generally a shoulder.
	It's the same thing.
	It's just an inedible piece of pork meat that is very edible if you cook it for about 12 to 14 hours or more.
	Because reactions take place and the toughness of the pork finally gives up.
	So the genesis of this is really poverty?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	This is poverty, depression, food.
	Yeah, people, you know, what are we going to do with this thing?
	I don't know.
	You can't chew it.
	What are we going to do?
	I'll just cook it for two days and see what happens.
	And it's a delicacy.
	Wow.
	Okay.
	So you're making your pulled pork?
	As we speak.
	Very good.
	It's down there cooking right now in the, I finish in the oven at 220 degrees for a number of, I don't know.
	I give up on the timing.
	So once it falls apart, it falls apart.
	All right.
	So guess where I am?
	Second thing is, it's fogged in here.
	It's fogged in.
	Yeah, it's fogged in here too.
	Guess where I am?
	You're not in Texas.
	Let me guess, let me guess.
	You're not in Texas.
	And probably you wouldn't be asking me to guess because we all think you're in the Netherlands, but you could be in Belgium.
	Close?
	No, I'm in Texas.
	I never got out Friday.
	What?
	I got a story to tell.
	Brother, this sounds...
	You got me off guard.
	Yeah!
	That's why I'm like, get through the park already!
	Okay, I can tell you you were anxious to tell your tale.
	Okay, go.
	Alright, so the idea was I was going to fly to Amsterdam on Friday from Austin, which goes through, in this case I was going to go through JFK and then on to Amsterdam.
	And it was for my sister's 50th birthday, so I'd arrive Saturday morning, the party is Saturday evening, I'd do the show Sunday, I'd hang out with some buddies Monday, fly back Tuesday.
	It's a simple, quick trip.
	So I arrive at the airport, and as you know, of course, I'm luckily able to upgrade to an economy comfort seat.
	But of course, when I fly and the first trip is on Delta, I always go straight to the first class line.
	This is a no-agenda tip, which we've told everybody multiple times.
	Do not stand with the sheep.
	Just go straight through that line.
	Say, hey, how are you doing?
	Just act like your nose is bleeding.
	And so a very nice guy.
	Because I don't like doing the machines.
	I don't just go in and let someone else do it and make sure everything's good.
	And of course I wanted to see if I could schmooze an upgrade.
	So the guy at the counter is a seven foot tall.
	He looks like Shaq.
	Seven foot tall guy.
	Very soft spoken.
	Very nice Steven.
	And I see him and he's like, hmm, this is strange.
	I can't print out your ticket.
	I said, what is going on here?
	And he's trying.
	He gets on the phone and he's talking to people.
	I'm like, okay.
	And then he says, well, there's something wrong with your passport.
	This to me doesn't sound good.
	Well, stuff happens, but I'm always very calm.
	Very calm about this.
	I don't get anxious at all.
	Of course not.
	Why would you?
	Something wrong with your passport.
	Okay.
	He says it's not valid.
	He said, yeah, it is.
	And I knew this.
	He says it expires March 14th.
	That's in 61 days from now.
	And I'm coming back on Tuesday, so it should not be a problem.
	So, more and more callings, trying to figure stuff out, and then the manager comes up, and then we're like, oh, you know what?
	Apparently, the European Union has started to enforce a recently installed Schengen law.
	Now we know the Schengen area is a fundamental part of the European Union, along with the Euro.
	It is so that people have the, quote, freedom of movement, so they can go across countries within the Schengen area, which, by the way, does not include the United Kingdom.
	And you can go without showing your passport.
	Now, we've been following on the show, of course, that things are getting a little heated in the Schengen zone, where they are checking passports and passengers on trains, and so it's kind of falling apart.
	And they decided, apparently, and no one who I was dealing with knew this, that they were going to implement the new Schengen directive, which Brussels put together, And I shall read this to you.
	Because, of course, I didn't believe it was true and we had to start figuring this out.
	And, well, here it is.
	Travel to European countries in the Schengen area.
	Check the expiration date on your passport carefully before traveling to Europe.
	Of course, I've never read this because I've been traveling to the Netherlands for years.
	Entry into any of the 26 European countries in the Schengen area for short-term tourism, a business trip, or in transit to a non-Schengen destination requires that your passport be valid for at least three months beyond your intended date of departure.
	If your passport does not meet the Schengen requirements, you may be refused boarding by the airline at your point of origin or while transferring planes.
	You could also be denied entry when you arrive at the Schengen area.
	For this reason, we recommend your passport have at least six months' validity remaining whenever you travel abroad.
	So I'm like, well, hold on a second.
	Exactly.
	That's what I said.
	Now, let me just explain the airline's viewpoint that we can talk about it.
	The reason the airline will not print out the ticket is as a part of this regulation, if they allow a passenger to fly to the Schengen region and that passenger is rejected, then the airline gets an automatic $25,000 fine for that person being sent back.
	So this is why the airline won't do it.
	Question.
	Well, I don't blame them.
	But of course, as a passenger, I didn't realize this.
	Now, this is where I'm like, okay, gotcha.
	Clearly...
	Okay, well, yeah.
	Yeah, no, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
	This is putting a huge burden on our State Department.
	Because now everybody who might have a useful passport, because it's not expired, it's still good, but everyone who has a passport now has to go in and get their passport renewed in advance of the normal period.
	And so I did get to the bottom of why they do this.
	Because I'm like, I don't understand.
	Well, before I give you the wrap-up of that, I needed to get to the Netherlands, but I gotta go.
	And the guy at the Delta, everyone is trying to help Adam.
	Everybody's like, okay, what can we do?
	What is the exception?
	How can we override this?
	The airline basically needs someone from the Dutch Border Patrol, Which is actually part of the Royal Dutch Marines in a strange way.
	To send a note.
	It could be an email.
	It could be as long as the person who sent it is identifiable.
	Saying, no worries.
	When he gets here, we'll let him in.
	So that's all I had to find.
	And I know that it's part of the Dutch Marines.
	So I'm like, stop everything.
	Don't worry about it.
	I'm getting on the phone.
	So I call Agent Orange.
	Who was in Mali.
	Yeah.
	So he's at the base in Mali.
	I'm like, dude, here's the problem.
	He's like, okay, let me see what I can do.
	Now it's 8 or 9 p.m.
	in the Netherlands.
	So getting someone on the phone is going to be very difficult.
	And so I get a call back.
	Yes, this is Patrick Ott.
	I am Chief of Customs Border Patrol, Department of Homeland Security here at the Embassy in the Netherlands.
	I came into the office, Mr.
	Curry, as a taxpayer, this is what you pay for.
	We're going to work to do anything we can, Mr.
	Curry.
	I'm like, wow, this is nice.
	My tax dollars at work?
	Yes, Mr.
	Curry.
	So that guy goes off calling, and he gets a no.
	And the reason why is even though every single person they've spoken to said, oh yeah, when Adam shows up, no problem.
	We'll let him in, of course.
	But we can't put our name to it because by signing my name to that permission, I would be breaking European Union rules.
	Actually, I would say it's probably law.
	And I can't do that because then I'll be liable and I can't have that coming back to me.
	So we can't find...
	Anyone who wants to sign off on that.
	Meanwhile, Agent Oren's in Mali.
	He's trying to get guys from the Royal Dutch Marines in Erbil, in Iraq, to get on their military email.
	To send this email.
	And so he's calling sat phones and he texts me back and said, alright, I just tried to get the guy, but he said he had a really lame excuse.
	He was up at the front line and he said he couldn't get to his email, so I'm sorry.
	It's a lame excuse for being on the front lines.
	Eventually, word comes back that even the ambassador in the Netherlands is now involved.
	To make a very long story short, no, I was not able to fly.
	But I do understand why this rule exists.
	And it took me a little bit, because that's the number one question.
	Why is this?
	I understand it's the rule, but why?
	What is the point?
	And the point is really two laws that are in conflict with each other.
	So if I come to the Schengen area and they say, here's a stamp in your passport, they really only have one stamp for tourism, is you have a three-month visa to be in the Schengen area.
	Boom, here's your stamp.
	But while I'm in the Schengen area, I have to be there legally with legal documentation.
	So if my passport were to expire during that 90-day period, then I'm breaking a different rule.
	So they cannot hand out a three-month visa if they know that I could possibly, despite having a return ticket, that I could possibly be there illegally if my passport expired.
	So I kind of get it, but crikey!
	Crikey!
	Yeah.
	If I have a passport, let's say, with the six months on it.
	Yeah.
	And I stay a year.
	Yeah, you would be overstaying, because you only get a visa for three months.
	Yeah, yeah, but let's say I stayed a year.
	Yeah, then if they caught you, or probably as you were leaving, they would probably say, okay, thank you, you're not coming in again because you overstayed.
	Because in the Schengen, you have to show your passport leaving, too.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, so you'd be in trouble there, yeah.
	What if I never left?
	Well, that's pretty much how it works in America.
	You come in on your tourist visa, don't leave.
	Yeah, stay.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But that would, of course, be illegal.
	Yeah.
	John's like, yeah.
	So, anyway, word to the wise, this is now being enforced.
	This is one of the no-agenda tips that people expect from the show.
	Yes.
	So now I can't go to Europe to spend my valuable dollars, which is a good deal right now, if my passport doesn't have the right dates on it.
	Correct.
	I'm glad to know that.
	I'm glad you told me.
	Thanks.
	Now, I believe that it is the same in reverse.
	you're not going to get an esta waiver if you want to come to the united states and your passport is going to expire in less than 90 days i think it's the same the same thing only this has never occurred really even though this this law has been on the books in the eu for a couple of years it wasn't being enforced and of course you know how often does it happen that someone shows up at the airport you know to fly has less than 90 days and is refused so So this was, I'm like the first one that this has happened to.
	Well, Austin's not a great big airport, but they'd never seen it before.
	And I was not just surprised, but obviously stunned and very saddened that I couldn't be there for my sister's 50th.
	That sucked.
	FaceTime.
	Of course we did that.
	You know we did that, of course.
	Why?
	Adam comes up with the craziest reasons not to come.
	As a big brother, I feel pretty bad about this.
	I really do.
	You should have known.
	Ultimately, it's my responsibility.
	Then I'm like, I've had it.
	I've been here for almost three hours at the airport.
	They've been rebooking me on flights in case I get the permission.
	The embassy in the Netherlands actually tried to get me on a flight to Switzerland and then on a train into the Netherlands through a checkpoint that they controlled so they could let me in.
	That's a good idea.
	Yeah, well, but...
	You wouldn't have made the time.
	Yeah, I probably would have.
	No one wanted to take the risk because they're all afraid of Brussels.
	It's like, you know, Dutch don't care.
	Like, hey, yeah, Curry, come on in.
	We know you.
	I mean, I have a thousand entry and exit stamps for the Netherlands.
	They don't care.
	But no one wanted to tell the airline, yeah, we guarantee you.
	Hello, Nazi Germany.
	Pretty much.
	Ausweisbeter, where are your papers?
	Your papers are not in order!
	That's what the EU's been all along.
	The EU is potentially our real enemy.
	That's why the Brexit had to happen.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Get a clue here, people.
	So I did mess up one more thing because I did not record the trip from the airport back to the skyscraper.
	I just grabbed a cab and I'm pretty, you know, I'm scowling somewhat.
	And this guy says something.
	I say, hey, where are you from, man?
	He says, Djibouti.
	I said, Djibouti!
	That's where we have our drones and killing people in Yemen!
	And his head whips around.
	You know about that?
	I said, yes.
	Yeah, we all know about it.
	Well, he's been in America.
	He came straight from Djibouti to Austin a year and a half ago.
	And he said, I couldn't deal with it anymore.
	He said, the government, it's all messed up, and the whole situation, and we just got into the Chinese.
	But the thing that he told me that was new news is he said that the big problem now with Djibouti and the whole coast of Eastern Africa is the Seychelles are stealing everybody's fish.
	And I was like, Seychelles?
	But you have to look at the map to see where the Seychelles are, Seychelles Islands.
	So they basically just, they go out, they just, you know, sail a little bit towards the coast, and they throw these, what the guy was describing to me, they throw huge nets and take everything, and no one does anything about it.
	Well, I can see that's possible.
	I will say something.
	Have you ever been to the Seychelles?
	No, I haven't.
	I haven't either, but just as an aside, just a little bit off track.
	When I was working at Union Oil, there was this one guy that worked in the adjacent laboratory.
	We shared the lunchroom facilities.
	And he had been everywhere.
	You know, I think both of us are extremely well-traveled.
	But this guy had been everywhere, literally, because he was in the Merchant Marines, and then he was in something else, and then he was in, I don't know what he did.
	But I asked him, where's the one place in the world that you'd think would be the absolute best place to live in?
	He called out the Seychelles.
	Huh.
	Interesting.
	Even though they're selling all their sand and therefore the island is eroding.
	Well, this was some years ago.
	Probably before the sand sale went into effect.
	Everything must go!
	Selling all their sand.
	Yeah.
	And look, global, you gotta give us money because it's the tide rising.
	Yeah, yeah, we're drowning here.
	Don't look at our sand sales.
	Yeah.
	Fabulous.
	Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
	I was hoping to get some good stories.
	I mean, that was a good story.
	That's true.
	Yeah.
	But it's not the kind of story we want.
	And a good warning for everybody out there.
	Yeah.
	I think it's interesting.
	It's hard-coded into the machine at the airport level.
	Yeah.
	But again, and of course, this is always my joke with everybody.
	I'm like, you know, oh, yes, Delta and KLM and Air France, you're all one big happy airline.
	But...
	Bite me.
	No.
	I booked through KLM. KLM, of course, knows how to code share with Delta for the trip to JFK before I get on the KLM flight.
	They asked you to put in your passport.
	They asked you to put in your passport number.
	It doesn't reject me.
	It didn't say, oh, you can't travel.
	That would have been handy to know.
	Dude, I even had, we tried to put it together so they would have the passport.
	They should give you a free ticket for that.
	Oh, no.
	Not only that, they're not even refunding my money.
	It's a whole other story.
	What?
	It's a whole other.
	Yeah, it's my fault.
	They're saying it's your fault you didn't.
	Your paperwork is not in order.
	Oh my god.
	But our military intel guys even tried to get the passport office in Houston at the airport to set up a temporary passport.
	They said, if you can make it to Houston in two hours, then before they leave...
	And I looked and I was like, it's three o'clock now.
	They said, it's at least two hours to Houston in the middle of the night.
	I said, no way.
	No way.
	Man, it was...
	Yeah.
	Well, that's what we call a fiasco.
	That was quite the fiasco.
	Fiasco.
	That's your definition right there.
	Gosh darn it.
	But I made a good friend.
	This guy actually used to play with Shaq back in school.
	A tall guy?
	Yeah, a big black guy.
	Um...
	And I said, oh, I used to play with...
	Because I told them my Shaq story where I interviewed Shaq.
	They're all trying to figure out how they can authenticate me as a good guy.
	So I'm at the desk.
	I'm showing them gossip magazines on my phone.
	Look at this.
	See?
	This is my ex-wife.
	This is my first wife.
	Here's my girlfriend.
	And they're just going, don't you see?
	Don't you see?
	And then I said, hey, but wait a minute, here's a picture with you and a gun.
	Because they're looking at one of those styled pictures with me and the judge or something.
	I said, take that down.
	Close that window.
	What are you doing?
	Don't show me with pictures of guns while trying to get me on a plane.
	Gun.
	Yeah, I would say that's probably right.
	Yeah, anyway.
	So, there you go.
	I'm back.
	Oh, the Shaq story.
	I'm sorry.
	The Shaq story is, I interviewed Shaq, and his Shaq is, what, 7'6 or something?
	He's even taller than this guy.
	No, no, no.
	Yeah, he's over 7 feet tall.
	Yes, sir.
	Yeah, he's like 7'1.
	But he's bigger than this guy.
	And I said to Shaq, Shaq, it's very hard as a tall person to get a really good bear hug.
	Would you do one for me?
	He said, come over here, son.
	I'll dig near you.
	Boom.
	Yeah, no, Shaq likes to give people hugs.
	Still.
	Oh, yeah?
	Yeah, he's on a couple of shows all the time.
	Anyway.
	He's filled out.
	Right.
	So, I'm still here.
	And...
	I'm going to have to get my passport in order.
	Well, you got your FaceTime thing and, you know, whatever.
	Sorry.
	Yeah, I know.
	Thank you for your sympathy.
	At least everybody probably appreciate all the effort you went through trying to bypass this.
	This is the problem.
	This is the future.
	Oh, yeah.
	You are so right.
	This is completely the future.
	The technocrats make up rules.
	Everyone's afraid to go against them, even though you're supposed to be doing anything you want in your own country.
	You have the right to do that.
	That's what's been told over and over again.
	But you see now, the bureaucrats are worried.
	Look, I know if I show up.
	They're part of the Dutch Marines.
	These guys, you know, they'd do anything for me.
	Almost anything.
	They may actually take someone out if I ask them to.
	But, you know, they don't want to sign off on it.
	No.
	Nuts.
	Yeah.
	And the technology aspect is also something that you need to consider.
	Because, you know, this is technology that clearly did not work in my favor.
	Yeah, it figured out I shouldn't be traveling under the law, but it didn't tell me that when it should have, when it could have.
	Right, early on, earlier in the process.
	Mm-hmm.
	Should have been hard-coded in the ticket-buying process.
	Yeah.
	That's where you should stop it, not at the airport when you got the ticket, you bought the ticket, now you just want it printed out.
	Exactly.
	This is too far down the line for it to all of a sudden reject things.
	I agree.
	Hey, I got a lot though.
	We got a lot to do today.
	What are you going to do?
	Well, since you're talking, I'm going to start then, because you started talking about New World Order, so I think we can do New World Order.
	Gee, I have a New World Order myself.
	Let me see.
	Where do you have New World Order?
	I got Brooks, New World Order 1, and New World Order 2.
	Holy moly, here we go.
	Now wait, wait, wait, I do have to do a setup.
	Okay.
	David Brooks is who we're talking about, who's a guy who's always wrong.
	Yeah.
	And so I – this – you can take this.
	Whatever he says in this – in these two clips is wrong because he's always wrong.
	He's been wrong for over a year now about Trump and about everything.
	So every interpretation you have to assume is wrong.
	But all I hear from this – and you can tell me what I'm – maybe I'm just imagining this.
	This is just a guy –...irked at Trump and vouching for the new world order.
	...is Donald Trump.
	What do we make of all this?
	I was first struck by David Ignatius' comment earlier in the program that they just could be trying to destabilize the United States across the board.
	I hadn't heard that thought before, and it's a live possibility.
	Putin is someone who has been undermining the norms of what we consider the world order since he got into power and increasing success.
	What's interesting about the Trump administration is how bitterly divided they are in their attitudes towards Putin.
	Steve Bannon and General Flynn have warm feelings.
	Putin has been, and with a lot of the groups, the conservative groups, the more extreme conservative groups that underlie Trump, he's a bit of a hero because he speaks for traditional values.
	He's against the global institutions.
	They see him as someone who's been on the defensive from an aggressive EU, an aggressive NATO, and there's a lot of sympathy there, actually.
	And then if you look at the more establishment Republicans, they see him as what I just described, subversive of the world order.
	And so to me, the question will be, will Trump and Bannon control policy toward the foreign policy, or will everyone else, basically?
	And my money's on everyone else.
	Reptile wins.
	Wow, John, a whole edit.
	Good job.
	Good job.
	Empire wins.
	Reptile.
	Reptile.
	Sorry, reptile.
	Yes.
	So he's vouching for the New World Order.
	It's clear, if you couldn't pick up on this, and you know, he's a New York Times elitist, and they're all vouching for the New World Order, and you of course have just been victimized by the New World Order.
	Yes.
	You've been victimized.
	I have.
	It's just that simple.
	I want redress.
	Good luck.
	He finishes off with this more dumb, stupid commentary.
	Because I think Trump's attention span is super low.
	I don't think he has the expertise to actually run a foreign policy.
	And at the end of the day, and I think there's a major story of the Trump administration, he's going to want the affirmation of the establishment, as he always has.
	Reason he had Clinton's at his wedding, because he wants that affirmation.
	When he gets the chance to have it, I think he will bend gradually in that direction.
	Retire wins.
	Well, this has been a week of New World Order talk.
	I caught Charlie Rose doing exactly the same thing.
	You know, I think we're at a point where there is a strategic alignment around the world now in which there is a United States that's still the dominant superpower.
	But there's a rising China and a Russia that is trying to reassert itself to have the seat at the table with the other two big guys.
	And that's the alignment around that table that's being worked out right now.
	So there is a new world order.
	A different world order.
	Oh, it's a different world order.
	There's a new world order.
	It's just a different world order.
	It's a new world order.
	Unbelievable.
	What's different about it?
	It's unbelievable that people are just using this term now, whereas you used that even five years ago.
	Ah!
	Conspiracy theorists!
	Protocols of Elders of Zion!
	Spankers!
	Shapeshifters!
	Yeah.
	And now it's just commonplace.
	You know...
	Because it is.
	I've been looking for the perfect parallel universe split clip for a while now.
	Yes, you have.
	Yeah, and I did find...
	I actually have a couple of them that...
	But you sound reluctant already, so it's not that good, I guess.
	No, I think it's actually very good.
	I just don't know if it's too early in the show to do it, but I think we should at least roll out this one that I have, which I caught last night as I was back home.
	Was it last night?
	No, Friday night.
	But I caught it last night, yes.
	And first I was just watching because it was so insane to watch.
	I'm just going to say two old hags yelling at each other.
	And I want to say it respectfully, but it was Judge Jeanine, who I like.
	I think she's very funny, and I think that, you know, she makes for great end-of-show clips.
	She seems nice, but she's, you know, an old, yelling, loud-mouthed hag, in a way.
	Now, she...
	Sorry.
	No comment.
	Yeah, you know, but I think she would probably...
	Adam at Curry.com.
	It's alright, you send everything to me anyway, no matter who does it.
	She has on, actually I think it's a regular on her show, Coco Sudeck.
	And Coco Sudeck is a talk show host, a liberal talk show host, which is kind of like a white elephant.
	There's not a lot of liberal talk show hosts, certainly not who would go on the Fox network and have a conversation.
	So these two get into it, and...
	Ooh.
	Ooh.
	Yeah, ooh is right.
	And it's really even better if you can see it, because it was a split screen, Judge Jeanine on the left, this Coco Sudec on the right, and at one point she even throws in a kicker there that just blew me away.
	So what is happening now, and I think that's why I was apprehensive, but I have at least three more clips that...
	Show this complete split, this rift, this complete divide between the universes, where one person sees the same information and says, oh, this is what's going on, and the other person sees this, and it's gotten so bad that now, of course, particularly Democrats, are bringing back everything that has been debunked, everything, and just stating it as fact.
	And They can only do this because they believe it 100%.
	I have, when you're done with this, I don't know how long you want to take this, but I have one of those clips.
	Great.
	Okay, go.
	Okay, so I'll play this one first, and then I want to hear yours, and then we can determine what we want to do.
	Congressman Lewis says he is not a legitimate president.
	I'm sorry.
	This started all with Joe Lewis saying he does not recognize Trump as a legitimate president.
	We can talk about that later, too.
	I got some clips.
	Congressman Lewis says he is not a legitimate president.
	Agree or disagree?
	I don't think he's a legitimate president.
	Why?
	Hang on.
	And I do think he's going to become the president, and I am not in favor of martial law.
	We are the United States of America.
	I think that Donald Trump's election was the product of a Putin coup, an invasion of our country through fake news.
	You're hacking the DNC, and he got his victory from cheating.
	The other thing is, and I know this is a surprise.
	No, wait a minute.
	We're not going on.
	How did Donald Trump cheat?
	How?
	Putin cheated on his behalf, and there are countless reports about how Donald Trump's emissaries communicated with Putin throughout the campaign.
	About what?
	Took intelligence.
	About what?
	And Donald Trump himself requested Putin...
	All right, let's back up for a second.
	You know that Barack Obama himself said the election could not possibly be rigged because we do not have a centralized system.
	Barack Obama said that himself.
	He said that himself.
	I'm not saying he rigged.
	Let me finish.
	And everyone has said that if the emails were hacked by Russia, okay, and I don't care if it's Russia...
	This is the hag part.
	This yelling that she does, it's unbelievable how she...
	By the way, it's John Lewis, not Joe Lewis.
	That's the boxer.
	Oh, I'm sorry, John Lewis.
	Yes, you're right.
	And what I envision right now is I envision this argument taking place across America.
	Mostly on Facebook.
	Yes, and by the same type of people.
	By older, and in this case, women.
	And I think that these are the arguments they will be making.
	Both insane, by the way.
	Russia, okay?
	And I don't care if it's Russia, Julian Assange, Hillary's hairdresser, or Osama bin Laden rose from the ocean and hacked him.
	I don't really care.
	Come on, you gotta admit, that's a pretty good rant.
	That's a good one, yeah.
	I don't know if she had that written or not, but that was good.
	Julian Assange, Hillary's hairdresser, or Osama Bin Laden rose from the ocean and hacked him.
	I don't really care.
	Nobody has said...
	We're about to...
	The split in the universe is about to happen, and you can hear it happen in this clip.
	Stand by.
	That Hillary's emails or the DNC emails were not accurate.
	So how has the election worked?
	They weren't accurate.
	No, no, they were selectively edited and disclosed by WikiLeaks.
	I mean, we know this is not true.
	This is a total fabrication, total lie.
	But she believes it.
	She has heard this and she believes it.
	Who says that?
	No, no, there was an avalanche of fake news and harassment and trolling by paid operatives from the Russian government.
	What's the fake news?
	And we know that the CIA and the FBI have said that Putin intended to install Trump.
	What's the fake news?
	What's the fake news?
	All kinds of insults and aspersions and lies spread about Hillary Clinton.
	Look, she was...
	Well, let's put this aside, okay?
	I want to talk for a second about...
	There it is!
	Did you hear it?
	That's where it happened.
	That is where the Matrix split.
	She goes, about, about, about.
	This is where it happened, John.
	I'm telling you.
	Talk for a second.
	That is the damnedest thing I've ever heard.
	It's crazy.
	Listen to it.
	Well, let me roll it back a little bit more.
	It's insane.
	I want to talk for a second about, about, about, about, about, what you said about- There it is!
	That's the split in the two universes.
	I've zoomed in and enhanced that for us.
	About, about, about, about, about, about, about, about, about, about, about, about, about, about, about, about, about, about, about, about, about, about, about.
	Well, in the real one, how many times has she said it?
	It sounds like four.
	Three, I think.
	Let me see.
	Do it again.
	Say the real one.
	Well, let's put this aside, okay?
	I want to talk for a second about what you said about...
	Four times.
	Four.
	Four.
	Four times.
	Yeah, it has to be four.
	It has to be four.
	It couldn't be three.
	And from this moment on, the split is apparent.
	What you said about limousine liberals and how awful we are.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute.
	Before you get to that, wait a minute.
	What is the...
	Hold on.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	Yeah.
	This is really an interesting clip.
	You're getting Clip of the Day, so you might as well just play it at the end.
	Okay.
	Because this is so revealing, but when she says you're discussing limousine liberals and how awful we are, thus admitting that she herself is a limousine liberal.
	Yes.
	Of course.
	Well, the universe just split, so I think the rules of multi-dimensional universes is you have to identify yourself in that parallel universe or you might get kicked out.
	Okay.
	She doesn't realize that a limousine liberal is an insult.
	It's a huge insult, yeah.
	But for some reason, I don't know, this is what happens when it starts to fizzle.
	Hillary Clinton, look, she was...
	Well, let's put this aside, okay?
	I want to talk for a second about what you said about limousine liberals and how awful we are.
	And I want you to know something.
	Wait a minute, before you get to that, wait a minute, what is the fake...
	Wait a minute, I have some questions.
	What's the fake news?
	There were all kinds of fake news sites.
	It's documented.
	Look, Samantha Bee on her show interviewed a bunch of people who were paid to troll people on Twitter.
	Let's put that aside.
	There are reports all over the world.
	There are reports.
	You are not seriously suggesting that a comedian has intelligence on Putin.
	Samantha Bee's a comedian.
	I'm saying that she did a report and she...
	Look, I want to back this up.
	That's fake news.
	I want to back this up.
	That goes with the golden showers.
	This is an alternative universe.
	And there it is!
	And there it is!
	She recognizes it.
	And it comes out of the blue.
	She says, this is an alternative universe.
	A couple of things.
	Because this is a very thoughtful clip.
	When you're a stutterer or a stammerer, you would not say about, about, about, about.
	That's not a mechanism that shows up.
	I think it's always a consonant.
	Is it not usually the consonants of the ones?
	It tends to be a hard consonant.
	Something like that.
	Not about, about, about, about.
	That doesn't even make any sense that you would say that.
	Under any circumstances of stammering or stuttering, it just doesn't make any sense.
	If we fall for...
	It's a thing, man.
	Now...
	Samantha Bee and the whole Jon Stewart approach to these little snippets that they do.
	They bring somebody on and they essentially make fun of them.
	Those are highly edited.
	They're edited for the pauses or the guy looking like a deer in the headlights.
	It just doesn't mean anything when you have one of those segments.
	She used to do the best ones.
	She's one of the best at editing these things to make you look like an idiot.
	So I'm stunned that anyone would bring a Samantha Bee bit up as some sort of proof.
	But she's in that other universe.
	And this woman says, this is an alternative universe.
	I'm not sure if she's saying that Judge Jeanine's universe is alternative or hers.
	But she's recognized it and it comes out of her mouth.
	She didn't think about this.
	This is subconscious reaction.
	That goes with the golden showers!
	This is an alternative universe, and you can hide from the reports around the country, around the world, that Putin...
	And now what's going on in the alternative universe, in her universe...
	What's going on there is pretty frightening.
	From the reports around the country, around the world, that Putin intervened in our election.
	But the thing is, Donald Trump is going to be inaugurated, but he is also going to come to trial at some point.
	I am a liberal, and I love my country, and I am part of the resistance.
	And I believe this man will be president, but I also believe that it is a liberal's job to oppose him.
	Okay.
	I like she says, I am part of the resistance.
	I mean, now she's sounding like Alex Jones.
	You know what?
	You've got a First Amendment right, but let me tell you something.
	Yeah.
	We hack them, they hack us.
	Are you, do you agree with that?
	I do not believe, I think that when a foreign government invades our country, it is a serious act of war, and the fact that you and the Republicans and the O'Donnell are not taking you seriously is horrifying.
	Coco, you know what?
	You're dreaming.
	Nobody invaded.
	The CIA... Do you disagree that the CIA and the FBI said that Putin intended to influence the election?
	Putin did not invade the country, and neither did the Russians.
	And when they do, I'll let you know.
	Because we'll call the military.
	Then what is the difference between walking into our borders and invading our digital borders?
	Coco, thank you for being with us.
	Always a pleasure.
	Okay, I'll take it now, if you don't mind.
	Wow.
	I'm glad you're on the lookout for these sorts of things.
	Well, I actually got this one off the TV. Because last night, I think everyone was doing hagiographies of Obama, except for Fox News.
	And I just caught it, and then I just rewind the DVR and I plug in the recorder.
	Baffling.
	Well, not baffling, but stunning.
	Stunning.
	I want to hear your parallel universe clip.
	Well, it's not a parallel universe thing.
	It's your point that you made earlier in the deconstruction of that clip, which was this, because this bothers me more than anything, let's take these memes that have been disproven.
	Yes, this is one of your favorite pet peeves.
	Yes.
	It's been disproven.
	In this case, it's just disproven by Seymour Hersh and disproven by universities, disproven by studies.
	Disproven and disproven and disproven and reported on that it's disproven, but let's keep it in the old, you know, the pocket.
	The lexicon.
	Let's use it anyway because we don't care.
	And here it is.
	This one here is the PBS Margaret Warner doing her hagiography.
	I only took a piece of it.
	She's talking about the situation in the Middle East.
	She's a New York Times writer?
	No, no.
	She's the go-to girl on PBS NewsHour.
	Ah, I got that.
	And she's always been the one that was a co-host for a while and then Gwen kicked her out of the booth.
	And then she killed Gwen just out of spite.
	Yeah.
	And this is her, you'll hear it, and as soon as I heard it, I just said, stop, I'm not going to play any, I'm not going to listen to any more of this crap.
	...that it was time for Assad to step aside, but he resisted giving mainstream rebels the weapons they needed.
	Derek Chalet said the chaos that followed the limited U.S. intervention in Libya's uprising affected the president's approach to Syria.
	The initial questions were about who was the Syrian opposition?
	How can we be sure that the capabilities we provide then don't end up in the wrong hands?
	That gave the upper hand to Assad's forces and Islamist fighters.
	In 2012, asked what could prompt U.S. action in Syria, the president issued a now infamous warning.
	A red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized.
	One year later, Assad's forces killed 1,400 people in a chemical weapons attack on a Damascus suburb.
	Thank you for doing that.
	I want to follow it up with a quick report I got from Reuters.
	This came in on Reuters this morning.
	How can they say this?
	The decision to use chemical weapons in Syria came from the very top.
	That's according to a document seen by Reuters news agency.
	A list produced by international investigators indicates that Bashar al-Assad and his brother were linked to the decision to use toxic weapons in 2014 and 2015.
	The Assads are yet to comment, but a government spokesperson said the accusations had no basis in truth.
	The news came as the Turkish president said a united and peaceful Syria was impossible with Assad still in power.
	Turkish forces are fighting to drive ISIL militants out of a strip of Syrian territory along the Turkish border.
	They're resurrecting something that was never in question, but now instead of saying he used them while he was behind it, it was his idea.
	But the whole reason, I think this has been discussed on the show, the entire reason why Obama did not, why he stopped, why he said, hold on a second, let me go to Congress.
	Everyone was geared up.
	Everyone was ready to go strike and bomb the crap out of Syria and Assad.
	But the results from the chemical weapons testing came back from Porton Down, that's in the UK, where they have the testing facility.
	You can look it up.
	Porton Down, P-O-R-T-O-N Down, that's in Wiltshire.
	And it said the chemical weapons that we tested have the wrong signature.
	It could not have been from Syrian supplies.
	Right, and people that looked at the rockets said they couldn't have hit that area from where they would send them.
	Exactly, exactly.
	It had to be the rebels themselves that set off those attacks.
	Yet here we are.
	And that's what Dempsey probably knew from real reports.
	And he's the one supposedly who put the kibosh on the idea of bombing the crap out of Damascus.
	Yeah.
	It's just the whole thing.
	And then Seymour Hersh, I believe, wrote a bunch about this, saying that this was bogus.
	And got excoriated for it.
	And so it's like all evidence points to being bogus.
	But no, no, no, no.
	Let's just keep it as a mean, because it works to our benefit to just keep it going.
	So they lie.
	This is a blatant lie.
	You want to hear some lying?
	Here's a guy who lives firmly in his own universe.
	By the way, I thought it was interesting in that clip, going back to my clip, someone made that comment.
	The woman said, it's our job as liberals to oppose Trump.
	What is that, your job?
	Are they getting paid for it?
	Maybe she is.
	Al Franken, Senator Al Franken.
	I forget what he was on, but this guy, it's as if he's never read any other report than something that MSNBC would put on the air.
	It's incredible what comes out of his mouth.
	I mean, I'm concerned about...
	The President-elect's relationship with Russia, that's sort of an understatement.
	Right.
	And the disappointment of Tillerson and his views on Russia also.
	I mean, you know, not saying that there are war crimes in Aleppo That's disturbing.
	The president-elect during the campaign said that Russia hadn't invaded Crimea.
	He threatened NATO. He praised Putin.
	I mean, do you hear all this stuff?
	He's just as if no one ever gave him any other information.
	Rubio is exactly the same way on the other side of the aisle.
	He's just a parent for the State Department.
	Do you think Rubio is in the same dimension as Franken?
	Yes, absolutely.
	Fabulous.
	That is amazing.
	All the time.
	Thank goodness, actually.
	So it's not a left-right Republican-Democrat rift.
	It's a split in the universe.
	It's just a split in the universe.
	What do they find all that?
	Gee, I wonder.
	I don't know.
	There has to be an investigation into these charges that his campaign coordinated with Russia.
	Now, the reason why he's saying this is for the Logan Act.
	Ben, be on the lookout for this.
	Well, I have three clips.
	On the Logan Act?
	Let's go.
	Let's do it right now.
	We get the idea of these people living in other universes.
	Be on the lookout for these clips.
	People send them to us.
	Alright, this is the three-parter.
	And it's actually not done in the chronological order, as I'll explain.
	But this is...
	The CNN saga.
	There has been a desire by the liberals that they've got to go after, they've got to do something about the fact that Flynn, and by the way, one of the guys said that Flynn is sympathetic.
	Flynn was never really a pro-Russian guy.
	If that ever happens, that's going to be new.
	But Flynn talked to the ambassador of Russia a few weeks back and And this is like some sort of major, possibly a violation of the Logan Act, which is American citizens, because he's not a member of the...
	He's not yet a security advisor.
	He's just an American citizen.
	Would it be okay if just for a moment I gave a quick definition of the Logan Act?
	Yes.
	Yeah, give us a definition.
	Yeah, I think that's kind of important.
	I have it here.
	It's also in the show notes, of course, at 8905.noagendanotes.com.
	The Logan Act...
	Stems from 1799.
	Yes.
	Federal law that forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments having a dispute with the U.S.
	I think this is what Mark Rich was indicted under.
	It was intended to prevent the undermining of the government's position.
	The act was passed following George Logan's unauthorized negotiations with France in 1798 and was signed into law by President John Adams on January 30, 1790.
	And the last act was amended in 94 in violation of the Logan.
	So now it's a felony.
	However, what's interesting about the Logan Act is it applies to everybody except the president, of course, because the president, according to the Constitution, is the only government official in the United States who has the implicit right is the only government official in the United States who has the implicit right to whether they're hostile or not.
	But if this happened before, so if you made a...
	I guess if I... You know what?
	In general...
	We violate the Logan Act all the time.
	This is a bogus situation.
	The Clinton Foundation violates the Logan Act.
	Oh, yeah.
	Hello, Morocco.
	Yes.
	I mean, if anybody violates the Logan Act, they should be talking about it.
	It's the Clinton Foundation.
	But no, they got to go out.
	It's the liberals' job to go after Trump.
	So here we are on CNN. This is the CNN saga one.
	Hi, everyone.
	I'm Brooke Baldwin.
	Good to be with you on this Friday.
	This is CNN. Let's start with the...
	Stop, stop, stop, stop.
	Start it over with it in mind.
	Remember that clip I had of that girl who talks, the last word is extended?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	She's showing a little bit of that, especially, I'm Brooke Baldwin.
	Listen to this.
	It's weird.
	Okay.
	Hi, everyone.
	I'm Brooke Baldwin.
	Good to be with you on this Friday.
	This is CNN. Let's start with the spy novel atmosphere that is continuing to descend upon Capitol Hill because we now know the president-elect's choice for national security advice.
	We need a name for this affliction.
	Is it stretch talking, maybe?
	Ooh, I like stretch talking.
	Let's just go with that.
	Yeah, I think stretch talking.
	CNN. By the way, she also sounds a little clogged up.
	Yeah, that's because Don Lemon is sick and he's infecting everyone over there.
	It's CNN. I saw him last night.
	Oh, don't come too close to me.
	I don't want to give you any flu virus.
	But you know, the show has to go on.
	He's such an overnight legend, that guy.
	I'm so in awe of Don Lemon.
	The spy novel atmosphere that is continuing to descend upon Capitol Hill because we now know the president-elect's choice for national security adviser contacted the Russian ambassador to the United States multiple times late last month.
	Apparently it happened actually just right before the Obama administration announced that it was imposing new sanctions against the Kremlin for its election interference.
	Let me step back.
	The backdrop of this news, you have Vice President Joe Biden now confirming CNN's reporting that the intelligence community briefed both President-elect Trump and President Obama on those unsubstantiated claims that Russia may have compromising information on Mr.
	Trump, which is exactly what CNN has reported all along.
	Yeah, sure.
	This whole thing, CNN has gotten incredibly defensive about their crappy reporting.
	Yeah, because they messed it up and they're looking like bad news people.
	Yeah, or fake news people, actually.
	So she's trying to rub it in.
	You know, it's what we were saying all along.
	We're good guys.
	They never apologized for this bad reporting.
	No.
	Okay, so let's go on to number two.
	Jim, I want you to tell me exactly what you're hearing about whatever the communications were, you know, between Flynn and the Russians.
	Yeah, you know.
	Right, Brooke, let's run through it.
	The Trump transition team confirms, as you said, the incoming National Security Advisor Michael Flynn did speak by phone with the Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak late last month.
	The transition says that conversation, which was first reported by the Washington Post, we should point out, happened on December 28th, just one day before the Obama administration announced those new sanctions against Russia for its hacking operation in the 2016 election.
	Incoming White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said the conversation came after the two men texted back and forth wishing each other a Merry Christmas.
	Here's what Spicer told reporters this morning on the call.
	With respect to General Flynn, just to give everyone a TikTok on this, on Christmas Day, General Flynn reached out to the ambassador, sent him a text, and it said, you know, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
	I look forward to touching base with you and working with you, and I wish you all the best.
	The ambassador texted him back, wishing him a Merry Christmas as well.
	Well, you violated the Logan Act, clearly!
	By the way, he uses the obnoxious term TikTok.
	Oh, I heard it, yeah.
	Let me give you the TikTok on that.
	This guy's gonna be a jerk.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	I'm back, wishing him a Merry Christmas as well.
	Now, Spicer went on to say that Flynn and Kislyak, and this is really important, Brooke, only spoke about, on December 28th, they later had this phone conversation after those texts went back and forth on Christmas, they only spoke about setting up a phone conversation between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin that would take place after Inauguration Day, of course, next week, next Friday.
	So all they're doing is trying to finagle the story into a violation of the Logan Act.
	That's all that this is about.
	Am I missing something?
	No, and it's so silly because what difference does it make?
	This guy's going to be the guy talking to the ambassador all the time in nine days or so.
	It's just another piece of driftwood floating by that people who are angry at Trump grab onto.
	Oh, maybe this will work.
	You know what's obviously coming next after everyone's sworn in?
	The assassination attempt.
	It's obvious.
	And these guys are encouraging it.
	Yes.
	Alright, so let's go to...
	Now, here's the interesting part about this.
	This clip three actually came on the show before.
	This was the guy, Shudo, who took over Wolf Blitzer temporarily, took his show over.
	This is the Wolf Blitzer show that came before...
	What's her name's show?
	The Dawn or whatever her name is.
	Brooke.
	Brooke Baldwin.
	Brooke Baldwin.
	This was on.
	He had John Negroponte, a former DNI, director of national intelligence, on as a guest, who he expected, I guess, to play ball, and he decided not to.
	And he just kind of told everything like it was a very good interview, even though this Shuto guy, who was part of that little clique of guys who rolled out this bogus Trump story about the golden showers.
	Right.
	Now, obviously, the second show that comes up, nobody listens to the show before.
	It's so obvious when you hear this, what you're going to hear.
	Because Negroponte just takes this whole thing and pushes aside this entire exact same thing that this guy's trying to get out of him.
	The same, oh, the Logan act's been violated.
	And so listen to how this is handled by Negroponte.
	Okay, fair point.
	Other story.
	The Trump transition team confirmed today that Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, he is, of course, President-elect Trump's pick for National Security Advisor, that he was in touch with Russia's ambassador to the United States just three days after Christmas, December 28th.
	The timing of this is interesting because it happened around the same time that President Obama was announcing that he was expelling Russian diplomats and some other steps in reaction to Russian meddling in the election.
	Do you find that timing, that communication...
	At all inappropriate or troubling?
	Well, I don't know what the content of the conversation was, but it doesn't strike me as unnatural for a national security advisor-designate to reach out to the Russian ambassador.
	After all, that's one of the most important relationships we have.
	By then, we would have been less than one month To the inauguration.
	And those are two people who are going to have a relationship going forward.
	So, no, I didn't find it particularly unusual.
	And I was very troubled to see somebody suggested that it might even be illegal.
	I think that's patent nonsense.
	Oops.
	Oops.
	Hey, man.
	Hey, man.
	Meanwhile, then the next show comes on and they readdress it with not paying any attention.
	I guess they don't listen to their own shows.
	Big picture here.
	You have both Republicans and Democrats.
	I'm just assuming I'm playing Negroponte on Divergent Views.
	This is different, but yeah, you can play this.
	Do you want me to play something else?
	A different one?
	No, no.
	This is the Negroponte continuing.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Because this is a different topic.
	Let's explain what this is.
	This is another thing that came up.
	Because Trump told these guys going to the hearings, the Secretary of State nominee and The Attorney General, all the rest of them.
	Just be yourself, he says.
	If you've got a problem with my...
	Just say what you mean.
	Say what you think to get...
	You want to get into this thing.
	And so this got everybody upset.
	The Democrats, the liberals.
	Oh, they're not on the same page.
	They're not on the same page.
	They're going against their leader.
	And so meanwhile...
	So they bring this up and this guy brings...
	Shudo brings this up again with Negropani who says...
	The reasonable thing, which is that, what's the big deal?
	These guys are just getting together now.
	They're not going to agree on anything.
	And the only other guy that kind of fell in line with that was, again, David Brooks.
	I don't have a clip of this, I don't think.
	But Brooks goes on and says, he thinks it's great that they're all kind of...
	You have different perspectives, and I think he was right on that.
	But listen to this.
	Big picture here.
	You have both Republicans and Democrats.
	I just had two on the air just now speaking really in unison, uniformally, that Russia is a major threat, that the meddling in the election, while no indication that affected the results, but still was a serious attack on American democracy.
	Do you believe, are you troubled by President-elect Trump in his public comments playing down the importance of this election meddling?
	Well, I think the team, the President-elect and his team, are now in the waiting room, if you will.
	And soon, another week from now, they'll be in the situation room.
	And I think those are two very different sets of circumstances.
	And they're going to have to come to the grips.
	With the issue of developing coordinated, synchronized policies towards each and every one of these issues.
	Right now you can see some divergences between them.
	You can see some public statements by the cabinet members designate to the effect that Russia is a threat.
	President-elect Trump kind of dismissing that.
	There's going to have to be a real harmonization of those points of view.
	If not, Then I think there could be some discord and trouble ahead.
	I recall the beginning of the Reagan administration.
	There were quite a few divergences, and it took them a number of years to sort that out.
	The sooner the president and his team can develop harmonized, coordinated policies towards these different issues, the better it is for them and for the country.
	I have a...
	I have a new deconstruction of the golden shower video and ties it into Brexit, interestingly enough.
	But I was thinking we'll move that to the B block and I wouldn't mind playing one or two confirmation hearing clips so you can kind of get an understanding about the differences.
	I don't think there's any difference in how Trump's Nominees are thinking and he's thinking, but of course, we all know Trump is a xenophobe, homophobe, misogynist, etc., etc.
	So it's very funny to see all of these nominees just be completely the opposite of what everyone thought they would be.
	So if you would indulge?
	Yeah, sure.
	Let us grab, well, let's go to Mad Dog Mattis.
	Mad Dog Mattis?
	Man, the guy's got to get an eye job for sure.
	Holy moly.
	Yeah, those bags look like a couple of Samsonites.
	Yeah, that's really not necessary.
	Is this a saying that I'm unaware of?
	What?
	Those bags look like a couple of Samsonites?
	I've heard it.
	Okay.
	Here is Senator Gillibrand.
	Gillibrand?
	Gillibrand?
	Gillibrand from New York.
	Yeah, Gillibrand.
	Yeah, he's a Democrat.
	Grilling Mathis on, well, of course, women and LGBT rights.
	These are hot buttons for the military, and this guy will be leading the military.
	And he was just not biting.
	In previous speeches, one from the Marines Memorial Club in San Francisco on April 16, 2015, you were asked specifically about whether we should open infantry positions and special forces combat jobs to women.
	And you said you did not think it was a good idea.
	You said when you mix, you know...
	That when you mix eros, when you mix affection for one another, that could be manifested sexually.
	I don't care if you go anywhere in history, you will not find where this has worked.
	Never has it worked.
	You said the idea of putting women in there is not setting them up for success.
	Could we find a woman who could run fast enough?
	Of course we could.
	Could we find a few who could do the pull-ups?
	Of course we could.
	That's not the point.
	That's not the point at all.
	It's whether or not you want to mix eros.
	And so in both of these question and answer sessions, you said you do not think you could do it.
	Have you changed your view on this issue?
	Now she thinks she's got the smoking gun on Mad Dog here.
	I've got you.
	I'm trapping you with your own words.
	Let's see you get out of this.
	Bags under your eyes, man.
	Senator, I was not in a position to go back into government when I made those statements.
	There are many policies that have been enacted over many years, including the years since I've been on active duty.
	I'm coming in with the understanding that I lead the Department of Defense, and if someone brings me a problem, then I'll look at it.
	But I'm not coming in looking for problems.
	I'm looking for ways to get the department so it's at the most lethal stance.
	I like that.
	Hey, I'm just gonna make sure these boys and girls are lethal.
	I never knew that was kind of the mission of the military.
	Make sure they're in the most lethal stance possible.
	Problems.
	I'm looking for ways to get the department so it's at the most lethal stance.
	And in that regard, it's all about military readiness.
	I'm looking for military readiness and what we can do in that regard.
	Do you believe that openly serving homosexuals along with women in combat units is undermining our force?
	Senator, my belief is that we have to stay focused on a military that's so lethal that on the battlefield it will be the enemy's longest day and their worst day when they run into that force.
	I believe that military service is a touchstone for patriots of whatever stripe.
	I mean, it's simply the way that they demonstrate their commitment.
	And I believe that right now the policies that are in effect, unless a service chief brings something to me where there's a problem that's been proven, then I'm not going in with the idea that I'm going to review these and right away start rolling something back.
	She better try one more time.
	Do you believe that allowing LGBT Americans to serve in the military or women in combat is undermining our lethality?
	Frankly, Senator, I've never cared much about two consenting adults and who they go to bed with.
	So the answer is no?
	Senator, my concern is on the readiness of the force to fight.
	And to make certain that it's at the top of its game, so when we go up against an enemy, the criteria for everything we do in the military up until that point when we put our young men and women across the line of departure is they will be at their most lethal stance.
	That's my obligation.
	Nice labeling there by the senator from New York.
	LGBT Americans.
	It's a label.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	It's a label.
	That's a new one.
	It's a label.
	Yeah, it's a label.
	It's a horrible label.
	And the L's, the G's, the B's, and the T's, well, the B's are all over the place, but they don't agree with each other.
	They don't want to have a common label.
	I'll play one more of these.
	This is a little shorter.
	Kamala Harris, who, of course, was on fast track to become, I guess she was being thought of as possibly Supreme Court judge.
	She's now a senator from California.
	I have to say, she is beautiful.
	She really is a beautiful woman.
	She began as a district attorney in LA, I think.
	She was also doing something in San Francisco.
	I think she was a DA in San Francisco.
	Could be.
	Because she was terrible.
	Everybody knew it.
	She wouldn't do all kinds of cases.
	She was very politically correct about everything.
	And nobody liked her.
	And then she ran for lieutenant governor.
	She's a good-looking woman.
	Fine, fine-looking woman.
	She's very good.
	Public speaking is good.
	So she ran...
	Maybe she wasn't not the DA in LA. She was in San Francisco all the time because she ran for lieutenant governor against the DA of LA. So I think that's really what the process was.
	And she's on the fast track to become governor.
	opened up the Senate job and she took that.
	So we still don't know what we're going to do about governor.
	What Democrats going to get that job.
	But she is, I've been listening to her as a senator.
	She's an idiot.
	Your voting record and stated position on gay marriage and the importance of having a, quote.
	But she's from California, so of course we've got to go back to LGBT....traditional family structure for raising children is pretty clear.
	I disagree with your position, but of course you're entitled to your opinion.
	I don't want that, however, to impact your opinion on that matter.
	The recruitment or retention of patriotic LGBT women and men in the CIA, some of whom have...
	I'm sorry, yeah, this is, she's talking to...
	The CIA guy.
	What's his name?
	He's funny.
	What's his name again?
	He's a...
	Yeah, Munster or something like that.
	No, no, that's Treasury.
	This is...
	What's the guy's name?
	I don't know.
	It'll come up.
	...taken great risks to their lives for our country.
	Can you commit to me that your personal view...
	Pompeii is his name.
	Pompeii.
	Yeah, I want to mention something here.
	This was an analysis done after the election, which was that the Democratic Party has gotten so...
	I mean, there's a certain percentage of the population that qualifies as LGBT. There's more that qualify in the longer thing that you always like to rattle off.
	LGBTQIAAP. But it's still a minority of the population, and the Democrats are appealing to it to such an extreme, they believe that because they appealed to that group, Small minority as opposed to the working class of the entire country, which is them, which includes the LGBT people.
	Because they emphasized it so much, that's really why they lost the election.
	Because there was no concern about people out of work.
	I concur.
	I concur.
	And so we're seeing evidence of it in these questions.
	It's the same preoccupation.
	What is the point?
	Yeah.
	By the way, it doesn't matter if men go into the military and get blown up, limbs removed, coming back to nothing.
	No, that doesn't matter.
	Can you commit to me that your personal views on this issue will remain your personal views and will not impact internal policies that you put in place at the CIA? Senator Harris, you have my full commitment to that.
	I would only add that in my life as a private businessman, this same set of issues was out there.
	I had my views at that time as well, and I treated each and every member of the workforce that I was responsible for at those times with the dignity and respect and demanded of them the same things that I demanded of every other person that was working as part of my team.
	And do I have your assurance that this equal treatment will include policies related to child care services, family benefits, and accompanied posts for dependents?
	Do you hear this?
	Like, you want him to guarantee that right now?
	Okay.
	Without knowing the full set of policies and benefits out at the Central Intelligence Agency, I haven't had a chance to find that out just yet, you have my assurance that every employee will be treated in a way that is appropriate and equal.
	And that you will not put in place any policies that would discriminate against any members because of their sexual orientation.
	The point of these questions, is she just trying to trip him up where somewhere he says something just a little bit so we can get a wedge in there?
	See, gay hater!
	...because of their sexual orientation.
	I can't imagine putting in place any policy that was discriminatory with respect to any employee.
	What?!
	Thank you.
	One of the causes those CIA analysts see is the impact of climate change.
	Do you have any reason to doubt the assessment of these CIA analysts?
	Senator Harris, I haven't had a chance to read those materials with respect to climate change.
	I do know the agency's role there.
	Its role is to collect foreign intelligence, to understand threats to the world.
	That would certainly include threats from We will deliver that information to you all and to the President.
	All right, take that, stick it in your hat.
	Unbelievable.
	Just keep badgering.
	Oh, climate change.
	Just badgering, badgering, badgering.
	I've got information, man.
	New shit has come to light.
	And that's the tease, huh?
	So it's LGBT, Americans, and climate change are the two things that are...
	And women, women, women.
	And women, well, yeah.
	That's all we care about.
	Yeah, that's it.
	Okay, in the B block, I have a new deconstruction of the golden shower tape.
	But first, I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you, John C! Where the C stands for clips that prove the universe is split.
	Dvorak!
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	In the morning to all ships that see who's on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to everybody in the chat room, always there for the live shows on Thursdays and Sundays.
	NoagendaStream.com.
	Thank you all very much for showing up.
	It's highly appreciated.
	In the morning to Patrick Bausch.
	Patrick Bausch.
	Boush.
	Who brought us the artwork for episode 8, 9, or 4.
	The title of that, of course, Ash for Cash.
	And a very interesting piece.
	It was the Yellow Brick Road CNN logo with the air quote hands.
	I just thought that was funny.
	Yeah, it was nice.
	It was a higher concept.
	I liked that a lot.
	Thank you very much for your service to the program, and thank you to all of our artists who often submit artwork.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com.
	And, of course, this is our value for value proposition.
	We have some people who we want to thank as our executive and associate executive producers.
	When I was down with the family in Disneyland, Because every once in a while someone will buy these.
	It's not that I'm soliciting somebody to buy a pair of these for me, but there's something funny about those big giant Mickey Mouse hands that you can put on.
	Okay.
	Because you just look silly with these big giant Mickey Mouse hands.
	And that's the same hands, style-wise, as the quote ones that were on that part, which kind of reminded me of those hands.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yes, they were.
	Yeah, I can't...
	Whatever.
	That's right.
	Let's see.
	Matthew Eskridge, $580, comes in top of the list from the U.S. Hi, John and Adam.
	This donation moves me over to the top to knighthood.
	I'd like to be...
	I hope he's on the list.
	Yeah, I think so.
	Yeah, he is.
	I'd like to be knighted.
	Sir Matt Eskridge.
	Eskridge, spelled with an E like in the Game of Thrones.
	Meh.
	I also request that whiskey and bacon be served at the round table.
	Oh, let me add that to the list.
	Hold on.
	Whiskey and bacon.
	Bacon.
	Can I get an Oh Elon and an Amen fist bump?
	Thank you for your courage.
	And knighthood counting has been sent.
	Okay.
	I think we can do that.
	Amen fist bump.
	Oops.
	Elon.
	You've got karma.
	Yeah.
	Thank you.
	We'll see you later at the ceremony.
	Keith Losett came in with 333.42.
	I've actually gone back and forth with him because he had a lost donation, but it wasn't really lost.
	He says, my donation goes on.
	He says, I'm honored to help produce show 893.
	He's off two.
	He's got audio requests.
	So I actually do these first and I'll explain what's going on here.
	My audio requests are Karma, of course, and Bugs, Bugs, Bugs as an expression of disdain for the endless anti-Trump pestilence.
	Make an optional request for the Shishikon jingle, although I'd prefer to hear Gay Ann herself.
	And she explained the Russian hack.
	Actually, she did, but it wasn't really that interesting that we're going to put on the show.
	But he, but anyway, play those and I'll explain why his donation was kind of lost.
	I love bugs.
	Bugs, bugs, bugs.
	Mmm.
	Bye. .
	Tastes like poo.
	Alright, there you go. there you go.
	Now, tell me what's going on.
	So he sent his donation in through PopMoney.
	Yeah.
	And he found a mechanism, and I had him explain it in another email, which I won't read because it's pretty long.
	I'm going to put it in the next newsletter for people who hate PayPal because a lot of people just don't like PayPal for whatever reason.
	I think it works very well for the show.
	People hate PayPal because PayPal shut off donations to WikiLeaks.
	That's where it all stems from.
	Okay.
	And, yeah, they had a gun to their head, let's face it.
	Well, yeah, it was still Pierre Omniard driving my car who was a part of that.
	So the point is that he's gotten to the...
	He can use pop mail and go straight into the...
	It's like a direct deposit.
	It's like a wire transfer.
	Without the wire transfer fee.
	Yeah, and it goes straight in and I couldn't figure out how...
	Oh, I know.
	I'd say it's an ACH. No, it's not an ACH. Oh, okay.
	Okay.
	That I know of.
	It's their system.
	They got some system built in, and I don't think it's ACH, because I've been working with ACH myself, and it's complex, and it doesn't...
	But once you got it set up, it's great, because there's no fee.
	Yes, but it costs money to set it up.
	It's not free.
	You can't just put ACH capability without having to pay something.
	Oh, OK.
	Beside the point, he's got the mechanism I'm going to outline for people that want to try something different.
	There's a way of doing this.
	Other people that do this.
	We have a donation later in the segment from Dame Kirsten Gelb.
	She's been doing this.
	It comes in as it looks like a wire transfer, but it says pop money.
	Cool.
	So I never check on this, because we don't get that many wire transfers.
	People usually warn us.
	So you found a whole little pocket of money that has come in that way, probably?
	No.
	Two.
	Well, that's a pocket.
	In our world, that's loot.
	So I've mentioned this in the newsletter, the last newsletter, that it's possible to do this.
	And I'm going to have the outline mechanism in the next newsletter.
	But anyway, so that's how it got mixed up because it was like, I didn't see any checks or anything.
	And then I checked with the bank.
	So he was off a couple of shows because of this mess.
	Okay.
	All right.
	David...
	Wait, karma or something?
	Did he need anything?
	Oh, yeah.
	He needed karma at the end.
	Well, that was not a request, so here we go.
	You've got karma.
	Here we go.
	Karma.
	Uh...
	David Poole comes in from Fairbanks, Alaska.
	333.33.
	I don't have a note.
	I don't know if there's one in the email.
	Let me see if I got something here in the emails.
	Hold on.
	Poole.
	Poole.
	Okay.
	Poole.
	Nope.
	I have nothing from it.
	Well.
	Oddly.
	Sorry.
	I should have something, I think.
	Let me know.
	Well, I'm going to give him a karma, and we can always fix that.
	You've got karma.
	I am going to look him up.
	Oh, you're going to do that now?
	Okay, all right, good.
	Nothing.
	There you go.
	Okay, back to the spreadsheet.
	Nicholas Nikoloff.
	Nikola Nikolov.
	Nikola.
	Oh, Nikola.
	Nikola Nikola.
	Okay, that's different.
	I do not read my current address, so I'm not sure.
	Yeah, no, you can read the Bulgarian thing.
	I saw the whole list.
	She's in Bulgarian.
	She's 256.
	She's the associate executive producer of the show.
	Is it a she?
	I think it's a he.
	Is it not a he?
	Nikola is usually a she, isn't it?
	I think it's a he.
	Could be a kid guy.
	That name in Eastern Europe could be either a man or a woman.
	In fact, I know it's a man.
	Okay, it's a guy.
	Yeah.
	As a Bulgarian citizen, I want to pay my yearly NATO contribution at a discounted rate before Donald becomes president.
	I ask the best podcast in the universe to be the recipient of the payment based on official NATO documents.
	This is $89 per person, $356 for a family of four.
	I take $100 rebate for JCD recommendation to buy OS2 in the 1993-94 period.
	Yeah, I was reading his column in the Bulgarian edition of PC Magazine.
	I want to congratulate myself with my birthday, which is today, January 15th.
	So, if I understand correctly, you, John C. Dvorak, are the reason that Rex is still taught in Bulgarian schools.
	Could be.
	And it also ended up with a discount of $100, which is, you know, you lost $50.
	I'm going to give this guy some karma.
	Good one.
	You've got karma.
	And you're on the list.
	Nikola Nikolaov, you're on the list.
	Thank you, sir.
	Sir Gavin of St.
	George in Carleton, New South Wales, $250.01.
	The 2050-01 at the time of donating $333.33 in Australian dollars.
	I'm looking forward to Adam and the Keeper's visit to Australia and was wondering if a meetup page will be started.
	Yes, this will all take place.
	We're slowly getting it started.
	I have not had my phone conference with Dame Angela yet, but she's super patient.
	And later in the program, we do have some news on our Australian tour.
	Another reason to stay tuned.
	As I have found a great supplier of mead, I would like to know the numbers attending so I might supply some great Aussie mead for the Sydney meetup.
	Can I please have a douchebag call out for David?
	Yeah, of course you can.
	Douchebag!
	I hit him in the mouth a while ago and he has yet to donate.
	Ahem!
	There's a frog in my throat.
	Can I please have a douchebag?
	I hit him in the mouth.
	He's yet to donate.
	Can I also get some house hunting and moving karma?
	Please ask.
	As for jingles, can you randomize some please or any new ones?
	Cheers.
	Yeah, I guess I'm going to play a few things for him.
	All right, here we go.
	You are fake news.
	FW and you don't know where there's fake news.
	Why don't you get your Gitmo fix?
	Putin on the reds.
	Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper.
	Trying not to look like Anderson Cooper.
	Super pooper.
	Come, let's mix where John Podesta walks with kids.
	Oh, I mean pizzas in his midst.
	Booted on the Ritz.
	You've got karma.
	Beautiful.
	Beautiful.
	Love that jingle.
	Okay, onward to Daleville, Virginia, where resides Laura Zia-Dizio, I think.
	Zia-Dizio.
	23504, another associate executive producer.
	ITMDU, John and Adam, you guilted me into another donation with your newsletter today.
	Thank you very much 1-12 and 1-23 are 14 and 16 this month.
	You got both on there, I think.
	Check it out.
	Yes, they are.
	God, I'm old.
	In honor of their words, can you please play Whoopi's Get Out of My Vagina and We, as well as The Mac and Cheese Life.
	For Nick, who makes a mean mac and cheese from scratch.
	Great.
	Thanks for all you do.
	It's Laura J. Joe.
	J. Joe.
	That's what I'm pronouncing.
	J. Joe.
	Get out of my vagina!
	D-C-I-O is J. Joe.
	J. Joe.
	Get out of my vagina!
	Living the mac and cheese life.
	Mac and cheese.
	You've got karma.
	There you go.
	We've got a lot of associate executives because we had none the last time.
	Zero.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	Fun.
	Sir Craig Kuttner in the USA somewhere, 23457.
	Sir Craig here, no, I actually just found that I became a baronet and was slacking off accounting via email.
	The best podcast in the universe has been amazing of late.
	And January 20 shows no sign of slowing down the constant flow of material into your analysis and deconstruction machine.
	Keep up the good work.
	We're all counting on you.
	73, some KB1 YYE. Oh yeah, 73.
	Three is Kilo 5 Alpha, Charlie, Charlie.
	And he also threw in the extra penny for you.
	Oh, we love having it.
	For a primal scream, Karma.
	So he wants the scream, the scream with the calm down or just do the scream with no calm down?
	I don't know.
	I think just that we have a couple of good screams.
	Yeah, I got a good one here.
	And what else do you want?
	And Karma, okay.
	Here we go.
	Yay!
	Yeah, that one.
	There you go.
	Boom.
	Thank you, sir.
	All right.
	Todd and Kate Gilbert in Nainamo.
	Nainamo.
	Nainamo.
	It's up north of Victoria on the island.
	23131.
	And we got...
	Let's see.
	I can't read...
	I can do this.
	I can't read the beginning.
	It's too long.
	Yeah, my wife and I have been...
	Ah!
	My wife and I... My wife and I have been listening to your show for over a year, and it's our first donation.
	Ah, de-douching, then, and get that right off the bat.
	You've been de-douched.
	Please dedicate this donation to my beautiful wife, Kate, who can somehow put up with a douchebag husband.
	I think we followed the path of many of your listeners where we wondered, who are these blowhards for the first couple of shows?
	Ha ha!
	But for some reason, kept on listening.
	Some reason.
	Ah, that's the magic sauce.
	Because we're entertaining blowhards.
	After...
	After a few shows of beginning to understand the sarcasm and no agenda vocabulary, we realized you were actually doing some intelligent analysis.
	As I think is common for many Canadians, we can't stand watching U.S. news.
	Oh, join the party.
	You have become our source for keeping current on what is going on down south.
	We thought we had a ridiculous election cycle in Canada, but you guys have completely blown us out of the water.
	Every time I hear more of your analysis, I can't help but think of the movie Idiocracy.
	Yeah, a lot of people say that.
	And wonder if in the near future it will be considered a documentary.
	The anti-Trump media in Canada is so bad we've had to change our on-hold music at work away from local radio stations as there's so much slamming.
	But slam!
	Of your future president that we are worried we would be pissing off half of our American customers.
	More than half, you know, that's a majority, it's more than half.
	If you haven't already, I suggest you read The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teichholz.
	It's interesting to read about what appears to be parallels in the history of nutrition and diet scientific data to what is happening now with climate change.
	That said, this is one topic where we think you guys are leaning too far in your analysis.
	Ah, I agree the media is blowing global warming out of proportion, but from what I've read and understand, it is hard to believe humans aren't impacting the environment and to some degree causing some amount of climate change.
	Yeah, I don't think there's an argument.
	While it may not be imminent doom, as the media makes it out, to be blaming every tropical storm on carbon emissions, there are also some serious health impacts of pollution.
	Yeah, hold on a second.
	You're buying into the carbon pollution meme, okay?
	CO2 is not pollution.
	It's needed for plant growth.
	It's not pollution.
	No carbon dioxide, no plants.
	We all die.
	So when you exhale, you are a polluter.
	No.
	It's okay.
	We can agree to disagree for a little bit.
	Keep up the great research, show quality, and banter for Todd and Kane.
	I'm going to give them a little karma here.
	Thank you very much, both of you.
	You've got karma.
	Welcome to the No Agenda family.
	Larry T. in Leesburg, Virginia, $200.
	I was called out as a douchebag by Baron von Richthofen of the Shenandoah back in episode 868.
	So here's my donation.
	Apologize for the delay in donating, but better late than never.
	Could I please get a de-douching karma?
	Get out of my vagina.
	Fletcher screaming, fat bitch.
	And whee!
	Thanks for the great show, Larry T. Wow.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	I'm just trying to find the original.
	Okay, we got it.
	Here we go.
	It may not be in the right order, but here we go.
	Fat bitch!
	Whee!
	Get out of my vagina!
	You've got karma.
	You've been deduced.
	There you go.
	Boom, boom, boom, boom.
	And that concludes our laundry list of great executive and associate executive producers for show 895.
	We've got five shows away from the masterful show 900.
	Wow.
	It's been quite a journey.
	Yeah.
	We're only halfway there.
	I have a lot more to talk about how our model works and how value for value works and what you can do to participate in the program.
	Do that in the second donation segment where we thank people coming with donations of $50 and over.
	But for now, these executive producers and associate executive producers, thank you very much.
	You've got your credits.
	They will be on the show notes page.
	And, of course, you can always find the entire archive of show notes at archive.noagendanotes.com.
	And we have another show coming up on Thursday.
	Remember us.
	And you still have the weekend to go out there, see some friends, and propagate the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Water! Order!
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up, slave!
	I've got information, man!
	New shit has come to light!
	Alright, here we go.
	The deconstruction came to me of the golden shower video, which I thought was worthy of...
	Have you seen the video?
	No, I have not seen the video.
	I don't know if anyone has seen the video.
	No, there's no video.
	No, there's no video, but there is some interesting deconstruction from one of our producers that I wanted to share.
	However, we need to set it up just a little bit.
	Let me see.
	First, this actually kind of is a holdover from before the break to show you how this is being...
	Presented by the media to the citizens of Gitmo Nation proper here.
	This is ABC, who of course are going to say, well, you know, we don't really have any facts or whatever.
	But let's talk about how the KGB blackmails people anyway, okay?
	The Russians and Trump have angrily denounced the allegations as completely false, including the unverified claim that Trump was secretly recorded when he visited Moscow.
	Trump says he knows better than to let that happen.
	In those rooms, you have cameras in the strangest places.
	Cameras that are so small, with modern technology, you can't see them and you won't know.
	But spies for the former KGB are famous for just that kind of blackmail tactic against foreign visitors.
	U.S. officials say the Russians posted this video.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	You gotta stop it.
	Can you back it up a little bit?
	Of course.
	Did he say KGB? Yep.
	The KGB? Yeah, which has been disbanded for how long?
	In 1991, it was disbanded.
	Yeah.
	And they're showing a video, which I guess would be from the FSB, and it's a real grainy video in a hotel and some guys with a hooker.
	It's like, okay, yeah, that's what happens.
	And that ruins everything because, oh gosh.
	You know?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	I think...
	I love the music.
	They added this...
	I like the music.
	The porn music is pretty funny.
	Won't know.
	But spies for the former KGB are famous for just that kind of blackmail tactic against foreign visitors.
	U.S. officials say the Russians posted this video of an American diplomat with an alleged prostitute complete with background music after the diplomat refused to become a double agent.
	So not only are we going to out you as a philanderer, we're going to put porn music to it.
	Oh no, please don't do that.
	Former KGB. Alright, just as a data point, just...
	I'm sorry?
	That's cute that they put music to it.
	Yeah, I like it.
	This is Ted Malick, M-A-L-L-O-C-H. He's a Trump insider.
	He was on the BBC, and he was quite clear in who paid the former so-called, you know, the former MI6 guy, where all that came from and who was setting it up.
	Of course, that guy's name is Christopher Steele, just as a background or so we recall.
	Is this damaging Donald Trump?
	I think quite the opposite, actually.
	He's used to his advantage.
	I mean, yesterday, it was an incredible news conference, you know, press conference, and he comes out the winner.
	He looks confident, he looks robust, he defends himself, and he actually proves that the news media, at least some part of it, is trying to delegitimize his presidency, his election, and it's doing it by the use of fake news.
	If it's not fake news, and we don't know...
	Let me tell you what the British intelligence told me this morning.
	Okay.
	This person, who they know, who was an M.I.C. This is Mr.
	Steele.
	It is Christopher Steele.
	Was also an FBI asset at one point in time, so he has intelligence background, but he was paid by the...
	People that you mentioned who were working for Jeb Bush in order to discredit him.
	The Democrats took over the contract, as you said.
	He kept adding to the dossier and using information given to him by the FSB in Russia.
	Most of it fabricated.
	The more he put into the dossier, the more he got paid.
	So he made a sensationalist dossier, as fat as possible, just like your lawyer charges you more billable hours in order to get paid more.
	You said most of it fabricated.
	What wasn't fabricated?
	I don't know what's fabricated and what's not.
	You don't know if most of it's fabricated?
	Well, I mean, the stuff that we've read, the salacious stuff that we've read...
	Some of it might be true.
	It is true that Mr.
	Trump was in Moscow.
	These kinds of things are true as well.
	Okay, so that's just a little background on Steele and how all that went.
	So I received quite a beautiful deconstruction from Jeremy Young, one of our producers who is in the United Kingdom, Monation East.
	He actually does pretty good YouTube videos, very low viewership, so I put it in the show notes.
	You can take a look at it.
	And I just want to read this verbatim, John.
	I really thought it was an interesting take.
	Adam and John, about the Trump dossier, have you considered that Trump is not actually the target?
	It is well known that Trump has a thing about urine.
	And I'm like, really?
	And he points, he references the Ruby Wax show.
	Do you recall the Ruby Wax show?
	It was big in Europe and the UK at the time.
	Ruby Wax, never heard of it.
	She's an American comedian, and she's one of these American comedians, one Americans, I guess, who are famous in the UK. And she had a show, Ruby Wax, and she would go all over the world and interview people, kind of in a...
	A reality show type idea.
	So this is from 2000, where she went with Donald Trump.
	This is when there was first news about him perhaps running for office.
	And so she did this profile about him.
	And he really was not liking much of what she was doing.
	And I encourage people to watch that whole piece.
	That's also in the show notes.
	He is so incredibly consistent between what he's saying today and in 2000.
	And even before that, really about everything he said now, even the same cadence, nothing has changed, including germophobia.
	And yes, he has some issues with urine.
	Back at the Taj, the Trumpmeister is giving away money for a change to some of the biggest losers at his casino.
	They've apparently lost much money at his tables.
	These are some of the happiest losers money can buy.
	No wonder they cheer for him to be their next El Presidente.
	Would you vote for Donald for president?
	Where's Charles?
	I sure would.
	Why not?
	He's just as good as the rest of the...
	Right.
	In case you didn't know, Donald is supposed to be a bit of a germ freak.
	So the word is he doesn't like to touch the masses.
	But God bless him, he's trying.
	You know, they all say, gee whiz, you don't like chicken heads.
	You're eating dinner.
	And a guy comes out of the bathroom, and his hand is soaking wet, and you have no idea where the hell it's been.
	And he comes up to you and he says, Mr.
	Trump, I'm a huge fan.
	Hello, Paul, congratulations.
	Wow, terrific.
	So there's Trump, a germaphobe, and he has another story about, and I agree with him, of course, I dislike that too.
	People come up to you and you just came out of the bathroom, hey, let me shake your hand.
	So, Jeremy's analysis and thinking is maybe the idea is to wind him up.
	He suggests the real target is Brexit.
	Here we go.
	I'm going to take it point by point, stop whenever you want, John.
	Tony Blair has declared he's campaigning to block Brexit.
	The obvious political comparison is Winston Churchill and the focus.
	I don't recall what the focus was about.
	Do you know?
	No, I don't know.
	I've never heard of it.
	Okay.
	That I didn't look up.
	Okay, while you talk, I'll look.
	Yeah, the focus, Winston Churchill.
	And there are currently two by-elections pending in the UK. One in Copeland, Cumbria, and another in Stoke-on-Trent.
	Both of the Labour MPs standing down are moderate center-left remainers.
	That's the people who want to remain in the EU. In leave constituencies, both are considered Blairites.
	Both are going into well-paid jobs into the public sector, and both seats are about to disappear under boundary changes.
	So this is stuff that we could never know about the UK. So thus, we get to Orbis.
	This is your favorite, John.
	Orbis, the guys who, you know, Michael Steele and his, you know, little company there.
	His buddy.
	Thus we get to Orbis, who all reports state made their name breaking open the FIFA case.
	Didn't know that.
	That's the guys who broke open FIFA, John.
	Interesting, huh?
	Okay.
	Yet, what did they actually do?
	All of the allegations that have been swirling around the world of football for years, and then suddenly the Department of Justice decides it is going to press corruption charges with the Orbis report.
	Here's an odd thing.
	Tony Blair's son, Nicky, happens to start up as a football agent in Central and South America at roughly the same time as Loretta Lynch starts her indictments.
	And before you call this tenuous, remember that Blair introduced the human rights legislation into British law, his wife being a human rights lawyer.
	So yes, it shouldn't be overlooked.
	Tony Blair already has a grudge against FIFA because of the 2006 World Cup going to Germany when it was supposed to be his triumph.
	And oddly, the people criticized for betraying Britain, or particularly Jack Warner, And if you look at the WikiLeaks emails between Hillary and the Rothschilds, who are on record as opposing Brexit, the name Tony Blair keeps cropping up.
	In 2008, when John McCain is running out of money, who does he turn to?
	The Rothschilds.
	And before you leap to conclusions, my having mentioned Irving and the Rothschilds, no, I'm not suggesting this is a vast Zionist conspiracy.
	The story of the dossier is rather murky as to when it is produced and what form it took and when it started to be touted.
	But in July 2016, it's the date in which it certainly exists, which is the month after the Brexit vote.
	Yet no one touches it for the obvious reasons that it's nonsense.
	Now, you watch the Ruby Wax film.
	I would suggest the problem for the Democrats or indeed anyone trying to blackmail Trump is that he might be obsessional and slightly mad.
	But he's clearly honest to the point of anal retentiveness.
	If you read it, the document is a typical Clinton style, a direct encounter to what they are accused of, i.e.
	you've been messing around with semen and blood and pimping out kids.
	Oh well, you hire hookers to pee on beds in hotels.
	Hey, you sold uranium to Russians.
	Oh well, you're doing something with the Russians too.
	The thing of beauty of hiring Orbis is that rather like the story of the Trump campaign and the Russian server, is because they are ex-MI6, they have to ping the British government because as an ex-MI6, they have to check out and they have to talk to the FBI as they're covered by the Official Secrets Act and various protocols.
	And so to Brexit.
	Theresa May is due in Washington this month.
	She needs a trade deal with the U.S. in order to go into the negotiations in March when supposedly she's going to trigger Article 50.
	We know from the Brexit campaign that Britain will be at the back of the queue for TTP under Obama.
	These people aren't that bright and the statement alone lost the remain side votes.
	But apparently now we are at the front of the queue under Trump because his election is a blow for liberty, just like Brexit and Nigel Farage.
	So, who apparently told McCain that he should take another look at this dossier that had been rejected by every news organization as bogus?
	Sir Andrew Wood has gone on record as saying that he did speak to McCain at a security conference in Canada and urged him of its importance.
	That would be the same Sir Andrew Wood who was an advisor to Tony Blair.
	So suddenly McCain, as a concerned citizen, gives the documents to the FBI so that report can be laundered and fed out through the heavily Amazon-subsidized site BuzzFeed under the Top 10 Sex Toys of 2017, and all available at the click of a mouse from Amazon.
	And of course, this perfectly fits because it plays into the latent hostility of Americans for the British, which you also kind of heard, you know, there's a lot of that in the Ruby Wax thing.
	At the words Russia, they duck and cover, and the word British, they immediately get arrogant and say, fuck those guys, we beat their ass in 1776.
	And again, watch the Ruby Wax film, and Trump perfectly displays this with this comment about how she's big in Britain, but she's nothing over here.
	So winding Trump up, especially on top of Theresa May being the Home Secretary that allowed the debate on whether Trump should be banned from the country, seems the perfect way of scuppering Brexit or at least undermining any negotiations on Britain's exit.
	What do you think?
	I think it's an interesting theory.
	I'm not saying I'm all in on it, but I like the fact that somebody's thinking like this.
	Me too.
	I love the thinking, which is why I wanted to do it verbatim, because there's a lot of stuff that we just don't know about.
	Here is the focus thing.
	Irving went on to describe several sources of secret financing support enjoyed by Churchill.
	In addition to the money supplied by the Czech government, Churchill was financed during the wilderness years between 1930 and 1939 by a slush fund emanating from a secret pressure group known as The Focus.
	Irving on the Focus.
	Interesting.
	The Focus was financed by a slush fund set up by some of London's wealthiest businessmen, principally businessmen organized by the Board of Jewish Deputies in England, whose chairman was a man called Sir Bernard Wesley Cohen.
	Sir Bernard held a private dinner party at his apartment on July 29, 1936, and this is in Whaley's, as mentioned in this guy's memoirs, set up a slush fund for 50,000 pounds for the Focus, the Churchill Pressure Group, now 50,000 pounds in 1936.
	Multiply that by 10 at minimally, blah, blah, blah.
	So the purpose was, the tune that Churchill had to play was Fight Germany.
	Start warning the world about Germany, about Nazis.
	Churchill, of course, was one of our most brilliant orators, a magnificent writer, and did precisely that.
	So, it was a Jewish...
	The Jews saw what was going on over there, and they were getting no attention.
	They were getting no attention.
	They said, step back, everybody!
	Watch this trick!
	Roll on, roll on for the basketball safety, Jews!
	I just can't get enough of it.
	All right.
	Good.
	Uh-huh.
	Well, I like the thinking for sure.
	I like the thinking, too.
	It's also, we have these guys, David Brooks is a good example, trying to figure out what Trump's like.
	They all think he's an idiot.
	The best example of this is Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC, which he has a whole thesis.
	I guess he's never met Trump.
	He hasn't had a meeting.
	I find it interesting that people will...
	Makes these assertions about someone's mentality without actually being their pal or anything.
	But to be honest, that's what we do too.
	We make all kinds of assertions about people's personality without knowing them.
	I guess I shouldn't play this clip.
	So this is all, it doesn't matter at the end of the day.
	You can't stop it.
	Elise, my theory of Trump is that no one, no one understands better than Donald Trump what a complete ignoramus he is.
	And so when he is speaking to his defense secretary, when he's speaking to any of the people who he just showed...
	He knows.
	They all know more than he does.
	Even Rex Tillerson, who knows less than any other Secretary of State in history, but way more than Donald Trump.
	And so I suspect that these people may be heavily invested with policy-making powers in a presidency where the president just sits there and nods when the guy who knows something is speaking.
	Of course.
	That's why he filled up the swamp.
	Well, isn't that kind of what you wanted from this guy, from Trump, anyone who voted for him?
	They wanted him to be a delegator of people that were smarter than him?
	Yes, that's what all CEOs are.
	Yeah.
	The biggest CEOs will say, what is your secret?
	You said the CEO, you saw Pence was the COO, which is your description of this.
	It's going to be run like a business.
	So you have a bunch of these smart guys around, and you're still the guy who makes the final decision.
	Exactly.
	Maybe it's not too far from the truth, but still.
	I have a couple of fun little clips to show more of this Russian thing.
	People are freaking out about Russia.
	It's really working.
	It's really, really, really working.
	People are very afraid.
	Then I have a pre-clip, because I know where you're going with this.
	But I want to play this pre-clip.
	This is NBC goading Russia.
	I believe that these big networks, they're goading.
	They're trying to make trouble.
	They're trying to get us into a war or something.
	They're playing that clip where Trump comes out and finally says, as you know, I think Russia kind of did it.
	He gave up.
	Essentially knuckled under.
	He couldn't take it anymore.
	And they kept showing him documents and whatever.
	The Russians did the hack of the DNC. They did the hack even though the NSA doesn't necessarily think so.
	So he just casually threw that out.
	Maybe the Russians did it or the Russians didn't.
	So now we have an example here of NBC goading Trump said this about you.
	What are you going to say?
	It's like a little kid who says one thing to one side of the party and then, you know what he said about you?
	He said this about you.
	More like a teenage girl, is what you're saying.
	Yeah, a teenage girl.
	...finger at the Kremlin for cyber attacks after weeks of him questioning U.S. intelligence.
	Inside Russia's presidential offices, our Bill Neely sat down exclusively with Vladimir Putin's spokesman, who rejects those hacking conclusions.
	Tonight there's no doubt how Donald Trump is viewed in the Kremlin.
	Does President Putin like what he sees so far?
	I have no doubt that yes.
	But Putin's spokesman tells us Trump is wrong, that Russia hacked the US. I think it was Russia.
	Donald Trump said, I think it was Russia.
	Was it?
	No, it wasn't.
	President Putin didn't order any hacking.
	No, definitely not.
	Did he know about any hacking?
	No.
	President Trump is wrong when he says Russia did it.
	Definitely wrong.
	Okay.
	Well, the protests are starting in D.C., And the first one already took place, completely organized by the Reverend Al Sharpton.
	So, you know, that's a money-making deal right there.
	And he brought in D.C. Reverend Richards, I believe.
	And this is what he had to say at the rally.
	Welcome to Poland.
	Oops, sorry.
	Yeah.
	It's actually funny.
	Yeah, there we go.
	Reverend W. Franklin Richards.
	Thank you.
	We certainly want to celebrate the leadership of Reverend Sharpton, the founder of the National Action Network and President.
	Let's give him some love as he has provided leadership for this.
	Give him some love.
	I'm glad to be here to join all of us as we've come across the country to be a part of this important statement of our rejection of what appears to be policies that are designed to hold us back.
	This is the first time in the last 30 years where the cabinet will not look like America.
	All billionaires and millionaires, all white men, with the exception of one white woman and one colored man.
	And this is the first time in the history of America where we have the first Russian president of the United States of America.
	That's right.
	I think that's pretty funny.
	Now, to fuel all of this, to fuel all this Russia fear and hacking fear, oh my goodness, what happened to C-SPAN is just crazy.
	C-SPAN all of a sudden started airing Russia Today.
	It was insane.
	Um...
	So what happened is C-SPAN was showing something from MSNBC, where a guy was, I don't even know who it was, was talking about Russia.
	All of a sudden, the signal freezes, and the reason I'm going to play it...
	No, that's not the C-SPAN one.
	I think you've got it mixed up.
	It's just the MSNBC one.
	Yeah, it just froze on MSNBC. The C-SPAN one was Maxine Waters.
	Ah, you're right.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	She got cut off.
	I think, I don't know if I made a clue.
	Here's the MSNBC glitch.
	I actually think this whole flap, whatever the Russians may have intended with their hacking, has made it much more difficult to get to where they want.
	There's now a big impediment.
	When you hear General Mattis today, Mike Pompeo, the CIA director, almost swearing that they're going to be hardliners on right.
	That was great.
	No.
	Right on Russia.
	Yeah, then C-SPAN all of a sudden cut to RT. And RT, of course, had to respond to this.
	Obviously, the Russians are now hacking in RT into C-SPAN. Who do we talk to?
	Let's get George Galloway on the phone.
	He's always funny.
	Social media platforms have been flooded with conspiracy theories after the US TV network C-SPAN was suddenly interrupted by a broadcast of this very channel for a total of 10 minutes.
	However, C-SPAN has released a statement saying the network doesn't believe it was hacked.
	An initial investigation into the incident has shown it was caused by, quote, an internal routing issue, as RT is one of the networks C-SPAN regularly monitors.
	Well, let's discuss this live with former British MP and host of RT's Sputnik show, George Galloway.
	Mr Galloway, good to see you.
	Now, it was quite a peculiar thing to happen, wasn't it, especially for the viewers of C-SPAN. Do you share the suspicions of some members of the public over the incident?
	Well, there's no end to the genius, to the reach of President Putin.
	He was obviously sitting there in the Kremlin deciding to invade the time of C-SPAN, which not very many people in the United States watch.
	What's next?
	The Disney Channel?
	The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse will suddenly look like the Kremlin and instead of Mickey, President Putin or Mr.
	Lavrov or someone will give a speech to the nation.
	It is becoming surreal, this whole anti-Russian witch hunt in the United States.
	Much of it generated here in London.
	In fact, in a building just a couple of hundred yards from me here in central London.
	What it really probably means is that the staff at C-SPAN, like all sensible people, are watching RT much of the day and somehow that which they were watching ended up on their own network.
	RT is growing and growing and growing.
	If you googled it, you'd find it's the most referred to, the most mentioned broadcaster in the whole world.
	And you should be proud of that.
	I certainly am.
	So why do you think we saw the reaction that we did to what happened?
	Well, clearly if you build up an atmosphere as they did in the 1950s during the McCarthy period of mass hysteria of people literally looking under their beds at night for Russians with snow on their boots.
	Do you remember that?
	Do you remember that?
	That sounds like a line I've heard before.
	Russians with snow on their boots.
	I know there are people, the under the bed thing was a very common meme.
	Oh, man.
	But people were really afraid.
	I mean, you know, I've spoken to Uncle Don about this.
	People really thought.
	About the C-spin?
	No, no, about the fear of the Russians.
	Back in the day, in the 50s.
	It was real.
	Yeah, back then.
	That's the Soviet Union.
	It's a different operation.
	I know, but remember, he's just a former KGB guy.
	He's all the same.
	It's the same people.
	Or as I had a clip, I don't have it on me, but again and again you hear from commentators on CNBC, not CNBC, MSNBC and CNN where they keep calling him the former head of the KG. Former head of the KG. And now, back to real news.
	I'm always tracking the celebrities.
	They've got a big problem with our new president, of course.
	And uh-oh, uh-oh!
	Nicole Kidman, what are you thinking?
	Big controversy in entertainment land about Nicole Kidman and her comments on the present-elect Donald Trump.
	Before we get to the controversy, I would like to play for you the actual thing she said.
	I think this was on maybe Canadian TV or BBC. You have joint US-Australian citizenship and you voted in the US elections last month.
	What do you think of President-elect Trump?
	I mean, I'm always reticent to start sort of commenting politically.
	I've never done it.
	By the way, notice how heavy her Australian accent is when she's not doing an American interview.
	It's really much heavier than in the U.S. There's a lot of celebrities that vary their style of speaking, depending on where they are.
	Who was the actor that I saw in the Golden Globes who won?
	I'm like, wait a minute, the guy's British?
	Who was that?
	Well, Hugh Laurie.
	Hugh Laurie.
	Yeah, Hugh Laurie.
	Like, ow!
	You never knew he was British?
	No, I never knew.
	No.
	All of a sudden, this is British.
	I'm like, what's this accent?
	What are you doing?
	I thought he was like, Mark.
	Politically, I've never done it in terms of America or Australia.
	I'm issue-based.
	I comment on the things that I'm...
	So, I just say...
	I like that.
	I like being issue-based.
	I think I'm going to say that, too.
	No, I'm issue-based.
	So I just say he's now elected and we as a country need to support who's ever the president because that's what the country's based on.
	And however that happened, he's there and let's go.
	And let's go and let's always...
	I mean, for me, I'm very, very committed to women's issues in terms of...
	I do a lot of fundraising for UN women and I do a lot of travelling for them.
	See, I did also do an enormous amount of...
	Fundraising for breast and ovarian cancer because that's something that's affected my family deeply.
	So they're my issues that I'm very attached to.
	Okay, so what she said was, hey, look, this is how it works in America.
	You pick the president, and then we accept him, we support him, and let's go.
	Let's go, let's go, let's move ahead.
	More American than most Americans, I would say.
	Here's how it played out in the United States, the big controversy, because she's a celebrity.
	How can any celebrity ever talk well about Trump?
	Does Nicole Kidman support Donald Trump?
	Fact or fake news?
	Fact or fake news?
	Welcome to Access Hollywood.
	In an interview with the BBC, Nicole said America needs to support Trump now that he's been elected president.
	But Liz, the reaction on social media, particularly from the left, it was immediate.
	Yes, but is that exactly what she meant?
	Well, Nicole came directly to us to set the record straight.
	Let's talk headlines for a little bit, because there has been the big headline, Nicole Kidman supports Donald Trump.
	I mean, I was trying to stress that I believe in democracy and the American Constitution, and it was that simple.
	Major backlash on social media after the BBC interview spawned headlines.
	You think it kind of got played out of hand that people were misconstruing what you were saying?
	I'm just, I'm out of it now.
	I'm just, that's what I said, and it's that simple.
	She'd rather focus on her film Lion, which just got two DGA nominations.
	Wow.
	As long as we get the film promotion in there.
	Good work, Nicole.
	So, poor Nicole.
	Her movie's gonna bomb.
	Done.
	Over.
	She didn't say anything.
	No.
	That's the whole point.
	But the headlines are, oh, she supports Trump.
	She's a goner.
	She's a goner.
	And I think her man...
	Wow.
	What's his name?
	Keith?
	That is absolutely pathetic.
	I think Keith, her husband, Keith Urban, I think he's performing at the inauguration.
	I don't think so.
	Okay.
	Alright.
	What would I know?
	What'd you know?
	Yeah, I don't know nothing.
	Oh, dude!
	Oh, dude!
	Did you see the Vice President Biden giving President Obama the Medal of Honor?
	Surprise!
	No, no, the other way around.
	I'm sorry.
	Yes.
	Oh, brother.
	I'm sorry.
	Yes.
	Obama surprised Joe.
	That's what it is.
	And I know you gave it with distinction.
	Look, And it was like, I guess, apparently, I guess the Defense Department also gave Obama an award.
	They ended the whole deal.
	They're giving each other awards.
	Yeah, it's very much like the European Union.
	Yeah.
	Hey, have an award.
	Hey, old chap, have an award.
	I'll take an award from you.
	But Joe said something very interesting.
	And this, of course, comes from our files.
	The truth always wants to come out.
	Joe had a very heartfelt thank you for the president and listen carefully to what he said.
	And I've never, never, never, never, never, never once doubted on these life and death decisions.
	I never once doubted that your judgment was flawed.
	Not once.
	What?
	I saw this thing, but I didn't catch that.
	I never once doubted that your judgment was flawed.
	On life and death decisions.
	Yeah.
	He's talking about the drone list.
	I never doubted that your decisions were flawed.
	That's what he's saying.
	Yes, that's what he said.
	Which meant, if you take it from our perspective, it meant he never doubted that your decisions are flawed.
	That's what he says.
	Yes, that's what he said.
	Listen one more time.
	And I've never, never, never, never, never, never once doubted on these life and death decisions.
	I never once doubted that your judgment was flawed.
	Poor Joe.
	That's funny.
	Poor Joe.
	Get a borderline.
	Oh, I get a borderline.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	So, you know, the big controversy now is this Comey thing.
	Yeah, it's interesting.
	I was just about to think of moving towards that.
	I got a couple things, too.
	Well, I have a couple.
	I have three things, actually.
	Nice.
	I have the Comey Intrigue, which is the NBC kind of...
	I think it's a slight background, but I have a very funny clip.
	I have two clips.
	Why don't we do the background first?
	Okay, let's start with the Comey Intrigue NBC. I think a number of adversaries, al-Qaeda, ISIS, the North Koreans, the Russians, will try to test us right out of the gates.
	They want to know whether this president's rhetoric will actually match actions by our country.
	He will need the intelligence community to defend us.
	Multiple high-level intelligence sources tell us that in addition to what we have already reported, there is this.
	After Mr.
	Trump's briefing on Friday, the head of the FBI, James Comey, told Mr.
	Trump about the existence of unverified allegations against him and also told him that a summary of those claims was included in the addendum to the top-secret report.
	Did you ever hear this?
	No.
	Like, Comey's the guy who tipped Trump off?
	Well, we're hearing a lot of this now.
	Now Comey is coming under investigation.
	Do you want to play your funny clip?
	Well, yeah, this is actually Erin Burnett, and somebody put this package together for her.
	She's got some stooge, I don't have his name, but just some random stooge Democrat congressman.
	And she's kind of grilling him because he's all in with the John Lewis and the whole thing about Comey.
	He's a bad actor.
	He's a horrible person.
	And he should quit.
	He should quit.
	And I thought that she did a pretty good job of kind of like It does shake our confidence.
	So I understand that, but then when you say it was handled differently, I have to ask you this, because it does seem, from some people's perspective, to depend on which foot the shoe is on.
	Back in July, 18 days before the DNC, Democrats were defending Jim Comey, right?
	Because he said no charges should happen in the case against Hillary Clinton and her private email server.
	He was very And everyone was really happy.
	Everyone was great.
	Oh, I'm so glad he said that.
	He said a prosecutor wouldn't press charges.
	Well, he's not even a prosecutor.
	He went ahead and said that.
	Here's what some of your colleagues said about James Comey at that time.
	This is a great man.
	We are very privileged in our country to have him be the director of the FBI. No one can question the integrity, the competence.
	A wonderful and tough career public servant, Jim Comey.
	I don't know whether your family's watching this, but I hope that they are as proud of you as I am.
	Because you are the epitome of what a public servant is all about.
	So why are they all now totally wrong?
	Well, I can't speak for them, but I can tell you that's part of what shakes me on this, that I think that's what I'm asking for, that we're seeing now, is I did not know about this investigation into Russian hacking because we were not told.
	We were not notified.
	The director of the DNC was not notified.
	So I had no idea, none of us did, on how this was happening.
	We did know on Hillary Clinton because it was all very public.
	So I think that's what's so troubling.
	When you hear them say this, and I understand, I'm not asking you to speak for them, but when you hear them say this, I mean, Democrats were thrilled.
	James Comey was the best guy in the world.
	This is a great man, Nancy Pelosi says.
	Then all of a sudden, he's not looking into the Russian hacking or right before the election, he says, oh, I'm checking some more emails from Hillary Clinton, and he's the worst guy in the world.
	It does make it seem very political.
	Yes, well, Aaron actually recounted that pretty well.
	I thought so.
	Here is NBC regarding the new investigation.
	Good evening, hoping for a measure of vindication.
	The Hillary Clinton campaign is welcoming the surprise news out of Washington today that the Justice Department's Inspector General will take a deep look...into how the FBI handled its investigation into Clinton's email server during the height of the presidential campaign.
	The probe to include the public disclosures made by FBI Director Comey himself and his letter to members of Congress that threatened to shake up the race just days before the election.
	Okay, here's ABC's take on it.
	Comey says he made tough decisions based on bad options while wrestling with the need for transparency.
	But the Clinton team says Comey's move 11 days before the election was devastating.
	If this election had been held 10 days earlier prior to the sending of Jim Comey's letter, Hillary Clinton would be the 45th president of the United States.
	See, this is what they believe.
	They totally, totally, totally believe it.
	Yes, they do.
	And Comey, you know...
	He's not clean.
	I think he may have actually been blackmailed.
	This guy is...
	You never know.
	Yeah, it's possible.
	By the way...
	That's one of your basic theses.
	Over the transom today came a warn alert, W-A-R-N, from the New York State Department of Labor.
	The shutdown of the Clinton Foundation is in effect.
	22 employees will be fired, and they're shutting it down.
	And just as we predicted...
	What about that missing guy?
	Oh, Eric Braverman?
	Yeah, Braverman.
	Still missing.
	Still missing.
	That's a very peculiar thing that's not getting any play on the network news.
	I saw nothing.
	I've seen nothing about this.
	I have a couple of fearful journalist clips, which is always funny.
	I have a good, fearful journalism clip, too.
	I'll start off with my beat, The View.
	And I think what journalists need to do is, if that ever, when that happens again, and Jim Acosta doesn't get his question, that very next reporter must ask Jim's question.
	And that way, Donald Trump knows that we are united as...
	Donald Trump then knows that we are united as journalists.
	And journalists, we are now, and I think we all know this, on the front lines.
	And we must be jealous guardians of our democracy.
	The view is on the front lines, John.
	It proves that women are perfect in warfare.
	They're great at the front lines.
	Very good, ladies.
	Well, I think a better story, that's a good story, but that's just a show of idiocy every time you pull one of those out.
	You play this one.
	This is the journalists on a list.
	A debate has erupted in the Danish parliament over the decision of an EU watchdog to compile a list of activists and journalists deemed to be pro-Russian propagandists.
	The list was...
	This was from the resolution.
	This is what they agreed to, which we read the whole resolution on the show.
	Put together by the EU's STRATCOM task force, which was set up in 2015 for the express purpose of countering Russia's alleged disinformation campaigns.
	There was a heated exchange in the Dalish parliament about just who was accused of doing the Kremlin's work.
	The government is very concerned with the Russian-controlled systematic use of disinformation in the form of lies and deliberate manipulation of facts.
	Does the minister think it is appropriate that a prominent Danish critic of Islam has been put on the list of sources of Russian disinformation?
	I agree with the task force assessment that it constitutes a typical example of the Kremlin's narrative about the West's moral collapse.
	I'm once again shocked by the minister.
	It is just a position that is entirely legitimate to have, and as many parties, including my own, have had for a long time, namely that we are a skeptical about Muslim immigration in Europe.
	And one Danish journalist claims she's also been put on the list.
	Ibn Tranholm was accused of pushing the Kremlin's narrative after her statements on European migrant policy were featured on RT and the website Russia Insider.
	She told us why she thinks she's been put on the list.
	I mean, today it's me who is on the list.
	Tomorrow it could be a different journalist, another journalist who has, you know, similar views.
	They claim that I'm damaging, I'm doing harm to the EU just by criticizing them.
	I criticize them for the immigration policy.
	That is a narrative that, I mean, people in the EU disagree.
	The new political tool to undermine your opponent is to link the person with Russia or claim that there are close ties between this person and Russia and then this person is just not trustworthy anymore.
	I love that we are seeing this history unfolding before our very eyes and we are documenting it along the way and deconstructing it in real time.
	At a certain point, children will learn in school that the Russians were ruling all politics in this era.
	You know it's true.
	It's already here.
	Um...
	I want to mention something here that kind of fits into this.
	Again, if we go back to our show, even four or five years ago, we talked about these hate speech laws that were implemented in the EU, which is the great crucible of experimentation for this sort of thing.
	It was always aimed at the Muslims.
	They wanted to get these Muslims under some protection, which means you can't talk about them.
	And so it brings to mind Viktor Orban, who brought up a very interesting theory.
	He's the Prime Minister of Hungary, I think.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	A troublemaker.
	Oh, he's a total troublemaker.
	But he brought up this interesting theory.
	He believes that you want a huge influx of Muslims to counteract the Christian Democrats because once they get anywhere near citizenship and they get the right to vote, they will not vote for anything that has the word Christian attached to it, whether it's the government or the party they will not vote for anything that has the word Christian attached to it, whether It has to be anything but Christian because they're just – we're talking about poor Muslims.
	We're not talking about a bunch of intelligentsia.
	We're not talking about the well-heeled Muslims.
	We're not talking about the oil sheiks.
	We're talking about poor Muslims that just don't have any...
	Their education is minor, and they have these hatreds toward Christians in many cases, as you can witness in the situation with certain kinds of Coptic Christians and others that have been annihilated, more or less, by some of these types of people.
	Right.
	Which brings to mind to me why Hillary wanted to increase a very minimal amount of Syrian refugees.
	She wanted to increase something like tenfold to like a half a million or more.
	Well, part of that, just from the way I've seen that, is the Clinton Foundation itself was very instrumental in placing the refugees in.
	So they would ensure that we got all these refugees, and then, remember the Detroit story?
	Oh yeah, go to Detroit.
	Fill up some of those houses.
	Be cheap labor.
	It's a cheap labor play, in a way, coordinated with the Clinton Foundation.
	Well, I think the cheap labor play is still in play, which has always been with any sort of immigrant.
	You can make the same argument about the Mexicans.
	But I think this anti-Christian bias...
	It plays exactly what the Democrats want.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Because if you associate Christians with one of the two parties in this country, Republicans and Democrats, you'd never associate them with Democrats.
	They're just not associated.
	Right.
	It's always associated with Republicans.
	And this is, I think, just half a million more votes for Hillary.
	Since we've been talking about him, reference him several times, I have a clip here from John Lewis stating that Donald Trump is not a legitimate president.
	I think it's important that we just kind of call back to that so you can hear why, since he seems to be ground zero for this latest round of the Russians did it.
	You have forged relationships with many presidents.
	Do you plan on trying to forge a relationship with Donald Trump?
	I believe in forgiveness.
	I believe in trying to work with people.
	It's going to be hard.
	It's going to be very difficult.
	I don't see this president-elect as a legitimate president.
	You do not consider him a legitimate president?
	Why is that?
	I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected, and they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton.
	I don't plan to attend an inauguration.
	It would be the first one that I miss.
	Since I've been in Congress.
	You cannot be at home with something that you feel that is wrong.
	That's going to send a big message to a lot of people in this country that you don't believe he's a legitimate president.
	I think there was a conspiracy on the part of the Russians and others to help him get elected.
	That's not right.
	That's not fair.
	That's not the open democratic process.
	Putin!
	Wow, that guy's all in.
	He's totally all in.
	He's in with another 19 Democrats have also decided not to attend the inauguration.
	And we have another piece of fake news that popped up around the inauguration, which I have, which was real fake news from the Washington Post, who said, oh, it's unbelievable!
	Trump is firing the D.C. National Guard, the guy who's responsible for the inauguration.
	Horrible!
	The law enforcement teams keeping the city safe will be D.C.'s National Guard.
	But their leader is going to be out of a job the moment that President-elect Donald Trump raises his right hand.
	Well, the story blew up on social media this week.
	This, by the way, is quite the trend.
	You'll hear this more and more.
	News reports in the lead saying, the story blew up on social media.
	Social media exploded!
	Social media was all over it.
	Pay attention to that.
	Raises his right hand.
	Well, the story blew up on social media this afternoon.
	We asked Garrett Haake to look into the story behind the story, and he's live on the National Mall.
	So what's going on here, Garrett?
	With eight years under his belt as the commanding officer of DC's National Guard, Major General Errol Schwartz brought experience and gravitas to the task of planning a successful inauguration.
	If something goes bad, it's up to the law enforcement agency to make the first move, if you will.
	But unlike in the years since George W. Bush first appointed him, General Schwartz will watch this inauguration conclude from home, stepping down as Donald Trump steps up to take the oath of office at noon.
	The timing is extremely unusual, General Schwartz told the Washington Post today, adding he would never plan to leave a mission in the middle of a battle.
	But interviews with Trump transition and Defense Department sources show that the timing was the general's decision, not the Trump team's.
	As a presidential appointee, just like an ambassador, Schwartz followed protocol and submitted his resignation.
	Before the Trump team could act on it, the military drew up plans to replace Schwartz, a senior transition official said.
	Two transition sources say the Trump team asked the general to stay on a few more days, just to get through the inauguration.
	But with his successor already chosen, Schwartz declined.
	He wants to ensure that there is a secure transition between two commanding generals, Guard spokesman Major Byron Coward said.
	That means at 12.01 p.m.
	Friday, Brigadier General William Walker will take over the Guard as acting commanding general.
	He, too, has been heavily involved in inauguration planning and spoke presciently about the ceremony to us last month.
	There's a sense that you're actually witnessing history.
	I mean, you are.
	You are witnessing history.
	You're witnessing the transfer of power.
	You are fake news.
	Hey, hey, hey!
	You read that.
	Fake news.
	There you go.
	Washington Post.
	Fake news.
	At very best, poorly researched news.
	Washington Post is the worst.
	Some real news, which I think is just egregious, is what's happening right now in the EU's.
	Welcome to Poland.
	U.S. soldiers side by side with Polish troops at a ceremony Thursday.
	No challenge is too large to overcome.
	No distance is too far to cross when the need arises.
	These are just the first of approximately 4,000 U.S. forces to arrive, troops and tanks that began streaming into Poland this week in one of the largest deployments of American military forces in Europe since the Cold War.
	That's unbelievable.
	4,000 troops.
	Big parades.
	Tanks running everywhere.
	Oh, we're just defensive in nature.
	And poor Poland.
	They can't get an ESTA visa waiver to come into the United States.
	But here's our tanks.
	Here's our troops.
	We're assholes.
	I can't believe that.
	Well, definitely something's wrong.
	It's not cool, man.
	Well, we're documenting it.
	You know, you talked about earlier about hagiographies that were going on, and they're probably going to continue until next Friday.
	Yeah, I have a couple of cool funny clips, yeah.
	I have a couple of cool funny clips.
	Let's play that we're so sad that Obama's leaving block.
	Here is the Lester Holt with Obama.
	Oh, I saw he was on the plane with him.
	All right, yeah, set it up.
	This is him talking.
	He's got Obama, and he plays him a clip, and then he asks him.
	He plays some sort of reminiscent clip, and then he asks Obama something.
	And his reaction to Obama's answer, maybe wasn't meant to sound like this, but this is what it sounded like.
	I want to show you something.
	You have, of course, seen it.
	It was Grant Park, the victory night.
	I want you to watch this.
	The road ahead will be long.
	Our climb will be steep.
	We may not get there in one year or even in one term.
	But America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.
	I promise you, we as a people will get there.
	Yes, we can!
	Did you?
	Yes, we did.
	You did?
	What?
	You did.
	Every time when I hear, yes, you can, I always have to...
	Yes, we can.
	Yes, we can.
	I always think of the reversal of yes, we can.
	Thank you, Saint.
	Thank you, Saint.
	Good one.
	So this continues.
	It's not as funny, but I think he got a little annoyed with Holt because when Obama's annoyed, he does use look more than he normally does.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Second clip.
	Played part two.
	You did?
	Look, if you had told me at the beginning of...
	My presidency.
	That eight years later, the economy would be stabilized.
	We would have cut unemployment in half from its peak.
	That the stock market would have recovered.
	If you told me that we'd provided 20 million people health insurance that didn't have it before, I would have said, all right, we did okay.
	Did you see some idealism in that young man, though?
	I did.
	And that idealism hasn't left.
	Look, I'm grayer.
	Look.
	Look.
	Here's Matt Lauer talking about how sad he is that the president is leaving office.
	Oops.
	Here he is.
	Here's Matt.
	It's a bond like we've never seen before.
	The best vice president America's ever had, Mr.
	Joe Biden.
	At times, more like a White House buddy movie than a political partnership.
	Their friendship often reaching a fever pitch on social media.
	Biden tweeting...
	Oh, that's a new one.
	Fever pitch on social media.
	We've got to keep track of all of these.
	It's all the different descriptions of how social media was blowing up.
	They'd be blowing up my phone.
	Their friendship often reaching a fever pitch on social media.
	Biden tweeting a photo of a friendship bracelet on the president's birthday.
	Happy 55th, Barack.
	A brother to me, a best friend forever.
	So I'm glad there were no cameras in my apartment yesterday because I was sitting there just weeping.
	I just burst out crying when I saw that moment.
	It was incredible.
	I just burst out crying at that moment.
	It was just so incredible.
	BFF. BFF forever.
	And Nancy Pelosi.
	What a man-hater.
	A man-hater.
	I was insulted by that, even though I completely disagree with making legal abortions difficult.
	She's a man-hater.
	Let me end on this note.
	Of all the things they could be doing in a reconciliation bill, job creation, deficit reduction, forget that.
	What are they doing in this bill?
	Overturning the Affordable Care Act, undermining the health security and financial stability of America's working families, and defunding Planned Parenthood.
	That's their manhood thing.
	Defunding Planned Parenthood.
	It's a manhood thing.
	How could they establish that as a priority unless they were coming at all of this from a very ideological standpoint?
	Okay, so now being a man is an ideological standpoint as well.
	It's a man thing, manhood thing.
	Hey, Pelosi!
	Douchebag!
	I'm sick of it.
	I'm sick of it.
	Sick of it.
	I'm sick of being oppressed.
	I'm being oppressed, damn it.
	White privilege.
	Check it, man.
	Check it.
	Hey, okay, so over the weekend, I went into the No Agenda Facebag group, and I, you know...
	You went in there with your normal account and you announced yourself?
	I announced myself for sure, for sure, for shizzle.
	In fact, here's what I was thinking.
	We have this Facebook group and people are always posting and doing stuff.
	I pick up good stories sometimes.
	It's marginally interesting.
	But if you look at the entire model that we've put down as this value for value and the listening audience are producers...
	For the past, my goodness, three months, only two guys have been providing us with end-of-show songs.
	UKPMX and Danny Luce.
	That's about it.
	And I know the show's rolling along.
	People think, yeah, people are helping.
	It's great.
	But we need more participation.
	We really do.
	So I said, producers be slacking!
	I need names for the Australia and New Zealand tour.
	I don't want to insult our New Zealand and Australian producers with typical crap like the Down Under Tour or Kiwi This or Kiwi That.
	Please, let's get some value out of this group.
	And I think our producers are some of the best in the business once you kick them in the ass.
	I'd like to read for you some of these names, and if you think anything is good, then we'll stop and we'll consider it.
	Oh, okay.
	You're talking about for the tour?
	Yeah, for the Australian tour.
	So you went to the No Agenda Facebook group to just get some ideas?
	Yeah, well...
	Because they weren't providing anything.
	They were not...
	You know what it is?
	The disappointing thing is they're not self-organizing.
	I just don't see the self-organizing, which is okay.
	Maybe that doesn't work, or it doesn't matter.
	But I like that I came in and was kind of rude.
	Local number one up in Michigan has a lot of meetups now.
	So let me go down this list.
	Some of them are completely stupid.
	Some of them are very funny.
	And I learned something.
	I did learn a couple of new things.
	First of all, ANZUS. ANZUS. A-N-Z-U-S, the acronym ANZUS. I'd never heard of this, but it's Australia, New Zealand, United States.
	ANZUS. I'm going to have sound effects for this, by the way.
	Okay, that's good.
	There's references to ANZUS in here.
	And also, what else did I learn?
	There's another word that I learned.
	Oh yes, here it is.
	Drop bear.
	Never heard of it.
	A drop bear is a hoax in contemporary Australian folklore featuring a predatory carnivorous version of the koala.
	It's kind of like the jackalope in Texas.
	Oh, the jackalope.
	Well, it's also in Arizona and California.
	Right.
	So that does pop up.
	Okay, here we go.
	Some names.
	Vegemitey Tour.
	The Search for Elle McPherson.
	The Keeper and Her Man.
	Curry and the...
	Don't do the sound effects.
	They're not good.
	Curry and the Keeper.
	Crocodile Dundee Part 3.
	Gitmo Nation South Pacific Tour.
	No agenda going down under in the down under.
	The piece of piss tour, which apparently is a thing in Australia.
	A phrase used often is, example, Jack, hey, I'm about to take my driving test.
	Is it hard?
	John, nah, piece of piss, bro.
	Yeah, that's out.
	That's out, yeah.
	Fact check this.
	The blunder down under.
	Yeah, no.
	What was the first one?
	The first one was the Vegemite tour.
	This is the only one I've warmed up to.
	Okay, well, there's a lot of them, John.
	I'm just going to go on the list.
	Crikey, look at this Crackpot tour.
	And then someone came in and said, please realize that this is Yeah, Which I don't, but it was interesting to see that...
	Actually, Mimi came in with an idea for that.
	You got to get her off the face bag, man.
	I'm not even going to read what she said.
	Um, The Keeper Keeps Curry Down Under Tour.
	Thanks Obama 2017 Tour.
	I thought that was interesting.
	I like that.
	Thanks Obama 2017 Tour.
	We got all the imaging and the jingles.
	Donald Trump Took My Baby Tour featuring Meryl Streep.
	I thought that was funny.
	Of course, that's a throwback to Meryl Streep.
	Yes, a reference to the dingo.
	Let's see.
	No Agenda Ostravaganza.
	Dingo and the Dame Tour.
	Here's Mimi.
	Curry's Ugly Numbat Tour.
	That's how she got the acronym in there.
	The Fake News Tour.
	The Coality Tour.
	Adam Curry's The Road Warrior Tour.
	Curry and the Keepers Bonser Tour.
	Cranky Curry.
	Triggering You Bigly 2017.
	All Hot Pockets Matter.
	Skin Cancer and Safe Spaces.
	The Marsupial Dream Tour.
	The Boomerang Tour.
	Bludger and Dunny Rat Tour.
	The Midnight Oil Tour.
	Tourie McTourface I thought was funny.
	Because that goes back to Boaty McBoatface.
	Yeah, I got it.
	Perthless Tour.
	That's one of our Perth listeners.
	Who knows we're not showing up there.
	The Meat Pie Tour.
	The Tour of the South.
	The Marsupial Express.
	G'day Slaves.
	The I Can Hear John Complaining from the Southern Hemisphere Tour.
	Bugs on the Barbie.
	Thank You Satan.
	Bondi Blues Voyage.
	Kangaroo Dundee Magical Mystery Tour.
	Aussies of tour throw another egg on the Barbie tour, keep it crackpotty tour, facebag freedom tour.
	Where's Dvorak 2017 Tour.
	The Great White Privilege Tour.
	The Great Reefer Tour.
	Make Australia Great Again Tour.
	Make Australia Great Again.
	We can use the existing logo.
	Mainstream media on the Barbie.
	The Fact Check Mate Tour.
	Triggered by the South.
	Hit Em Down Under.
	Deconstruction Down Under.
	The Fostering Tour.
	The, let's see, the Slaves of Anzac, which would be Australia, New Zealand, Adam Curry, I guess.
	The Over the Hill, Clapped Out, Trumped Up Tour, Trumpageddon, The Great Escape, Hot Tubs and Cessnas.
	The Finders Keepers Extravaganza Tour, Shrimp on the Barbie, Crocodile Curry, Vegemite Tour.
	Penal Colony Parlay, 2008.
	Qantas Nation Media Assassination.
	The Great Barrier Reef.
	Suck It Up Buttercup Tour.
	What time are we going to record the show tour?
	That's a good one.
	It's going to be crazy.
	The Fakesplaining Tour.
	Nothing else but still like the first one, huh?
	No, I've changed my opinion.
	Hold on.
	I have a couple more.
	Unless you've got another hundred to read.
	A couple.
	The Bifocals and Chains Tour.
	Let's see.
	Yano Tour 2017.
	The Airstream Couldn't Float Tour.
	Not bad.
	The Trans-Pacific Rim Job.
	Jesus.
	The Thong of Truth, Vegemite, Marmite, Operation Aussie Freedom, Hit Him in the Mouth, Cross the Tasmania Sea and Back, Operation Big Mac Tour, no, no, no, the McNugget monologues.
	I think those are the best of them.
	The problem with half of these is that they're not related to what you're actually doing.
	Just using some meme that we do over and over again.
	The one I like the best, besides the Vegemite tour, I think Make Australia Great Again tour is the best of the group, personally.
	I like Dingo and the Dane.
	Well, dingo and the dame, what's that got to do with no agenda?
	The same as Hot Pockets, I guess.
	Well, Hot Pockets was a, we had the ding, we've been using it as a meme.
	Hot Pockets was being used over and over again.
	We used the Hot Pockets.
	We had a bunch of jingles.
	So Hot Pockets made some sense.
	We've never, until now, we've never discussed the dingo.
	I'm sorry, I made a mistake.
	ANZAC is Australia-New Zealand Army Corps.
	I made a mistake.
	Anyway, it doesn't matter.
	So, do you like the Make Australia Great Again?
	That would work for me.
	You could have a hat?
	Yeah, there's existing logos and everything.
	It's good to go.
	Just take it from Trump, MAGA. The Vegemite thing is, I like less after hearing the Make Australia Great Again, because...
	I think it connects to the show.
	And I think it's got all this background.
	And it's funny.
	And I think the Australians could catch on.
	Yes.
	There's also the Safe Space Tour.
	Love and Light Down Under.
	My God, they're growing babies and kangaroos.
	Crazy people.
	Grab them by the platypus.
	Okie dokie.
	That's out.
	Yeah.
	I think that's just about all we've had.
	Okay, so MAGA, Make America Great Again so far.
	Make Australia Great Again is so far the favorite.
	I don't have any other ones.
	It's slightly insulting, too.
	Well, I like it.
	The reason I like it is because, you know, I'll go on the TV show, The Morning Show in Brisbane with our dame.
	And, you know, then I can say...
	Sarah Harris.
	Yes.
	And then I can say, well, you know, I was here in 1990, and, you know, you guys gave your guns voluntarily to the government, so we're here to help you.
	We're here to make Australia great.
	Yeah, you can be very annoying, and you can use...
	And before you go, then, you have to have somebody make a hat.
	Yeah.
	Like to make podcasting great again.
	Yeah, make Australia great again.
	Now the decision has to be made.
	What color would the hat be?
	Green?
	Blue?
	Red?
	I think green is the way to go with.
	Green with gold letters.
	It would definitely be catchy and it wouldn't look like...
	It would be green and gold and then everyone can argue if the hat is green and gold or white and blue.
	Think about it.
	Social media will be blowing up.
	It'll be...
	What's the other one?
	Vegemite?
	Vegemite-y?
	No, no, no.
	I'm talking about the social media reference.
	Oh, I'd be at a fever pitch.
	Fever pitch.
	All right.
	Let's agree to not make a definite choice just yet.
	I don't care.
	We can agree or not agree.
	We can make a definite choice and change it.
	I don't think we can formalize it so much.
	Well, because with this, people will start to make hats and stuff, and I want to make sure...
	No, they should anyway.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Do it anyway.
	Anyway, at least people were engaged.
	That was nice to see.
	Unlike Reddit...
	Oh, I don't even go to that Reddit thing.
	Oh, man.
	They're just a bunch of no-agenda haters.
	Yeah, you want to hear the latest?
	They don't hate no agenda.
	They hate no agenda.
	No, they hate me.
	Okay.
	I hate me.
	Alright, so they hate you.
	So what?
	Okay, what's the latest?
	The latest is this.
	About the first duty of the president.
	Adam loves to harp on anyone that says the president's primary duty is to protect the country.
	He loves to quote the oath of the office and insists the president's sworn duty is only to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
	Adam, please shut the fuck up!
	Anyone with a brain can interpret that oath to mean to protect the country.
	It's people, laws, etc.
	Grow up and find a new shtick!
	He used the word schtick?
	Schtick, yeah.
	Except he misspelled it S-H-T-I-C-K. Didn't even put the S in there.
	Well, S-H, how do you spell it?
	I think it's S-C-H-T-I-C-K. Yeah, it is S-C-H. You say you forgot to put the S in there.
	Grow up, find a new schtick.
	Why do you even torment yourself with this stuff?
	Because sometimes there's good links on...
	So it shows up in my feed as first duty of the president.
	So I click on the link.
	There might be something good in there.
	What do I get?
	Hate.
	Hate.
	Hate speech.
	It's hate speech.
	It's totally hate speech.
	Stop with the hate speech!
	Oops, not that.
	I meant this one.
	Jeez.
	I'm going to show myself old by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yes, now you may speak.
	You've been shook up by Reddit.
	I know.
	Obviously, it happened before the show.
	Yes, it happened last night.
	You were shook up by Reddit, and then you tried to go to the airport, and then you got blocked.
	It's very discouraging.
	It's okay if people have opinions.
	It's not discouraging if you don't go on Reddit.
	Yeah, but look, I don't want to watch The View either!
	Believe me!
	Alright, let's thank some people, John.
	Well, let's start with Sharon Hassel.
	Hassel, really?
	Yeah, Sharon Hassel.
	In Saxapapa.
	Saxapapa.
	I don't know.
	Saxapaha.
	Saxapaha.
	Saxapaha, North Carolina, $131.94.
	She says this amount will buy three luxury golden shower head douche kits on Amazon to be used for future de-douchings.
	It's Sir Anonymous, by the way, who sent this in.
	I don't know why it shows up as Sharon.
	So I guess that is a triple times the luxury golden showerhead douche kit price.
	She probably didn't want to have her name mentioned.
	Well, it says right here, Sir Hononymous, Knight of the Hall River Basin on the note.
	I don't know.
	It could be anything.
	Okay.
	Stop.
	Stop.
	That little thing, that little pop-up pop-up came up.
	Plano, Texas brings us Jamie Scott.
	Arnhem first.
	Walter Elfrink.

	Charles McPherson, 88.88 in Victoria, BC, which is near Nanaimo.

	Craig.
	Craig.
	It's Craig.
	It's Irish.
	In Balbrigan.
	Trevor Hoagland in Portland, Oregon.
	Rab.
	R-A-B-B-E. Rab Sandlin, yeah.
	In Nyland, Finland, I think.
	John Haller in Missoula, Montana.
	Michael Reardon in San Diego, California, 50.
	He says, this was his first presidential election cycle and the No Agenda show was a great education on the obvious media manipulation.
	You guys should be required listening for the next generation so they can save the country.
	We love the show.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Sean Zinsmeister in Mountain View, California, did jump the street from me.
	Andrew McPeak, parts unknown, but he does have a douchebag call-out.
	Okay.
	He wants a de-douching, but he also wants a douchebag call-out to Jim.
	Hold on.
	Douchebag!
	And Kyle.
	Douchebag!
	And here's his...
	Oops, here's his de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	No worries.
	You're all good, man.
	Simon Horne in Manly, Queensland, $50.
	Kent O'Rourke, $50 from Parts Unknown.
	Chris Lewinsky, Sir Chris, I believe, in Sherwood Park, Alberta.
	And there's Kirsten Gelb, $50.
	And she's a dame.
	Dame Kirsten Gelb.
	Dame Kirsten.
	And I went back.
	She's also doing the pop mail thing.
	I have to keep an eye out for her.
	Sir Jerry Wingenroth in Saugus, California.
	I think he sent a note in.
	I'll read it some other time.
	Sir Mark Tanner is in again, yet again, from Whittier, California, $50.
	And last but not least, Dame Melody Mann in Ringgold, Louisiana, $50.
	I want to thank all these folks for helping us produce this show.
	Your help is necessary and appreciated.
	And also people that donated lesser amounts.
	Thank you for that.
	And the subscribers.
	Yes.
	Thank you very much.
	Speaking of people with lesser amounts...
	Let me see.
	I got a note here from one of our producers who was changing his PayPal.
	Let me see.
	Now I don't have his name.
	Here's his note.
	I just want to let you know I was finally able to resubscribe to a monthly PayPal donation to No Agenda.
	When I first wrote you back in November, I had canceled my $1 a month subscription but could not resubscribe at a higher rate due to an error message about an incomplete final $1 payment.
	Ugh.
	As of today, this, quote, standard $5 a month subscription link on dvorak.org slash NA finally worked.
	I was curious if you did anything on your end to clear up the PayPal error.
	Nope.
	Nope.
	So it just happened.
	It was just a PayPal error.
	We had one guy, one of our producers who, I have to see, go back it up.
	I think one of the 8080 guys.
	I think it's Sir William.
	Yeah.
	Sir William...
	Was the guy that this last month, he used PayPal, he sent a check, but he used PayPal to send the 8888, and it was blocked by PayPal, and they had to investigate, and then they sent him his money back.
	So, we're bogative?
	No, it was just that one instance.
	I mean, this happens every so often.
	Just randomly, they randomly pick somebody.
	Very strange.
	And they say, this isn't right.
	And then they send him his money back.
	That's what's strange.
	He said, screw it, I'm sending a check.
	So he sent a check, which is better.
	That was Mike Newman, by the way.
	And I just wanted to give a little shout out to the boys at Royal Blue Grocer here in downtown Austin.
	These young kids, you know, I walk in.
	I always pick up my, you know, to my small groceries there.
	It's a little local grocer.
	You know, like, hey!
	Start listening to the show!
	Like, wow.
	Kids are 20.
	Good.
	Yeah, that's what I say.
	So, yeah.
	Okay, thank you all very much.
	I'm just looking at the spreadsheet, and the first one, $49, says anonymous, please.
	So that's why we made the rule that we don't mention anyone under $50, usually for that reason of anonymity, but want to thank everyone who does that, as well as people who are on the subscriptions, like our buddy Mike there.
	Yes?
	I will mention that one of the producers sent in two checks, $49 each.
	Mm-hmm.
	But that's because it definitely assures anonymity.
	Yes, a higher amount with anonymity is how it can be done.
	Exactly.
	Just add a bunch of $49 checks and put three or four of them in there.
	I don't care.
	All right, so we thank everyone.
	I'm going to give everybody a jobs karma just in case you need it.
	And, of course, a reminder that we have another show coming up on Thursday.
	We need as much help as we can get.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yay!
	You've got karma.
	You've got karma.
	Nikola!
	Nikola celebrates today, actually.
	Laura Jajo says happy birthday to Aaron, turning 14 on January 12th, and Nikhil Harjah, 16 on January 23rd.
	Andrew Walker says happy birthday to Francine McCandless, celebrating on the 18th, and Michael Riordan says happy birthday to his son, Mikey, who turns 15 today.
	And we say happy birthday from all the staff and management here at the Best Podcast in the Universe.
	Okay, we have a title change today.
	This is good.
	We at least have that.
	This is the title change for Sir Craig Kuttner.
	He becomes...
	A baronet today, and we congratulate him on his title change, and soon he'll be able to get a protectorate as he continues his support of the No Agenda show.
	One nighting today.
	I'll say, Matt, get ready to come on up here.
	I got my blade.
	Jean-Claude, your blade, please.
	Nice.
	All right, Matt Estridge.
	Come on up, sir.
	You have supported the best podcast in the universe of...
	Amount of $1,000 or more, and you know that that gets you a seat, a coveted seat at the Noah General Roundtable.
	It's where all of our knights and dames take place.
	They're all wearing their signet rings.
	They got their ceiling wax.
	They're ready to go.
	But first, I have to pronounce the KV. Sir Matt X-Ridge, night of the No Agenda Roundtable for you, sir.
	By special request, we have whiskey and bacon.
	Along with the hookers and blowers, the Rent Boys and Chardonnay, meat and water, cheap wine and chili dogs, progressive rock and Russian imperial stout, porn stars and pot.
	We've got Rent Boys and Chardonnay, bong hits and bourbon, sparkling sign escorts, ginger ale and gerbils, and mutton and mead.
	Head on over to noagendernation.com slash rings.
	Eric the Shill will make sure it gets out to you as soon as possible.
	And thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you again.
	Well, I mentioned it on the last show.
	I said something's up with Cyprus.
	Where in the world is Victoria Kagan Noodleman?
	These guys are taking it right down to the wire.
	Yes!
	In fact, the headline in the European press is Victoria Nuland's last coup.
	So she is there.
	I told you something was going on.
	So here's what the plan is.
	The plan...
	This is so smart.
	So they want to have...
	Turkey, that's what they wanted, instead of 28% say, they wanted 29% say, and I said, there's something up with that.
	The idea is, if Turkey gets that extra percentage point, then they have effectively, they will own a piece of Cyprus, which of course will mean that they effectively now, by extension, are part of the EU and NATO. I mean,
	of course, Turkey's already part of NATO, but it brings everyone together, and she really wants Turkey to have all of this power in Cyprus to thwart anything else that would run through there, i.e.
	pipelines.
	And I don't know how it's going to be done, but it's usually bloody when she shows up.
	Huh.
	Yeah.
	Huh.
	And apparently they're trying to implement the Kofi Annan plan, which I'm not too familiar with.
	Or the Kofi Annan type plan.
	Some form of corruption?
	Yeah, pretty much.
	Pretty much.
	Yeah.
	And of course, this also explains that Obama was there recently.
	You're right.
	They're running it right down to the wire.
	As much trouble as they can make before they're out.
	So that's where she is.
	She's in Cyprus.
	And, well, I don't know if she has enough time, but usually things don't end well after she's been anywhere.
	Well, she won't be there after Friday.
	Oh.
	Or else she's going to start doing her own thing and violating the Logan Act.
	Yeah.
	Well, she has some as ambassador.
	Is she Deputy Secretary of State?
	Yeah, something like that.
	I shouldn't be no ambassador to anything.
	Since we're on Turkey, here is the latest news coming out of Turkey and what President Erdogan wants.
	Signs of national pride adorn much of Istanbul's Grand Bazaar, but many Turks here don't display the same feelings about the lira, dropping as much as 10% against the dollar since the start of 2017, making it the worst-performing major currency of the new year.
	So here it was $2.99.
	We've lost a lot of money since the beginning of this year.
	All the goods are devalued because of the nearest fall.
	There has been a decline of about 60 to 70 percent in business compared to 2015.
	Shoppers instead have been spending with stronger currencies, a trend the country's leader has not taken lightly.
	There's no difference in terms of goals between a terrorist with a gun in his hand and a terrorist with dollars and euros in his hands.
	President Erdogan says currency speculation is an attempt to topple the state and has urged the central bank to resist raising rates.
	But pressure is building for some change when they meet later this month.
	The economy contracted for the first time in seven years in the third quarter, far from the levels the leader built his reputation on when he was prime minister.
	I always find it so interesting that the mainstream media and our entire government apparatus is all against Russia, but the crazy guy is sitting in Turkey.
	That guy's insane.
	Well, he didn't hack the DNC, that's the deal.
	He's not harboring Snowden.
	So I ran, you said talking about this, you know, Tillerson, of course, will be the new Secretary of State.
	We'll see if he, he's not going to rehire Newland.
	No.
	But there's a very interesting, I don't know if it's going to do any good because I think he's already, or he's going to be shooing to be confirmed if he's not already.
	But somebody ran a political ad against him.
	Oh.
	Against Tillerson?
	Yeah.
	As if he was running for office.
	Do you know who it was paid for?
	Do you know who it was paid for?
	Yes, an environmental group called the Neo Climate.
	You've got to be careful.
	The environmental, you know, they know how to find whack jobs who shoot people.
	I'm telling you, you've got to be careful.
	The CEO of ExxonMobil, Rex Tillerson put Exxon's interests before America's.
	I'm not here to represent the United States government's interest.
	Instead, Tillerson sided with Putin with billions in Russian oil deals.
	He opposed U.S. sanctions on Russia for war crimes.
	Forced to pay hundreds of millions for toxic pollution, putting profits ahead of our kids' health.
	Tell your senators to reject Rex Tillerson and protect American interests, not corporate interests.
	Wow.
	It's the sound effect of the old cameras that had a motor drive.
	Exxon will be running the State Department.
	It's for your children.
	So they have the sound effect of a camera, you know, these cameras clicking, clicking.
	Yeah, yeah, click, click, click, click.
	Yeah, but these are like, the sound effect is from a camera with a motor drive.
	You can't even buy these anymore.
	Funny.
	That's what you do when you're sweetening.
	I don't know why they chose that.
	Less than 10 minutes to go.
	10 minute warning.
	I only have one clip left.
	Good.
	You want to hear it?
	I cut this way down even though it's still a little long.
	They're trying to pass a new law to legalize in all 50 states I think they said in this report all 51 states.
	Uh-oh.
	It should be 57.
	We all know this.
	57.
	Legalized silencers.
	Ah, suppressors.
	You can buy them in many states anyway, but you have to pay a $200 tax, and it's a very long process of background check.
	Approval, yeah.
	And these guys have got a new bill they want to pass, which is called the Hearing Benefit Law.
	This is hilarious.
	I love how they're doing this.
	They're trying to enable people to buy suppressors legally by saying it is much better for you.
	It's better for your health because it doesn't blow your ears out.
	Yeah.
	Which is a great argument.
	And it reminds me, by the way, if you remember, we went over the details of that poor reporter who was shot.
	Oh, it had PTSD. That guy, you mean?
	Remember the reporter that was shot?
	She was doing an interview and this guy comes along with a gun.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	No, it's something different.
	Yes, yeah, yeah.
	In the morning show.
	And then they gun this woman down.
	Yeah.
	He comes up behind the cameraman.
	I just saw this video again.
	I realized the mistake that we overlooked.
	This guy pulls out a.45.
	Yeah.
	And this is the one where they shoot her a few times.
	She doesn't fall down or anything.
	She runs away.
	Yeah.
	He's got a.45.
	He's up behind the camera guy.
	He pulls up the.45 to his facial distance so he could target it and shoots the gun two or three or four times next to the cameraman.
	In other words, what he should have done was blown out the cameraman's eardrums because if you want to blow somebody's eardrums out, you take a gun and you just fire it next to the person's head and they're deaf.
	Yes.
	And it also makes you jump.
	None of that happened.
	I just thought that was kind of an interesting observation.
	Did the cameraman have headphones on?
	It doesn't seem likely.
	I mean, maybe that was explaining it.
	So here's a part of the suppressor story that I kind of got a kick out of because it's just poorly produced and you'll figure out why it's poorly produced when you actually hear the report.
	Representatives Jeff Duncan of South Carolina and John Carter of Texas have introduced what they call the Hearing Protection Act.
	The goal is to lift the provisions of the National Firearms Act of 1934 placed on the suppressor, a $200 tax and a background check that gun shop owners say could last a year.
	Gun control advocates say the bill is about militarizing weapons, not about hearing.
	It's a complete misunderstanding of the noise levels that unsuppressed firearms have, the risk that both recreational shooters and hunters have to things like tinnitus, which is ringing in your ears, and noise-induced hearing loss as a result of exposure to loud noises.
	Opponents say suppressors will allow mass shooters to kill stealthily.
	To demonstrate the noise reduction, Williams fired rounds from several guns with and without a suppressor.
	First up, a 9mm without the suppressor.
	You know, this never works when you're trying to broadcast it.
	You never get the impact.
	And now with the suppressor.
	The AR-15 without the suppressor.
	And now with it.
	That's bullcrap.
	A noticeable difference, but nothing as dramatic as Leonardo DiCaprio's muted rounds in Inception.
	That's total bullcrap.
	In both instances, it's louder.
	I'll bet you if I'm, you know, I'm taking this clip.
	Hold on, I'm going to set it, do it right now.
	Hold on.
	I'm taking this clip.
	I'm going to analyze...
	The audio, the waveform.
	I'll actually analyze the waveforms to see if it's not just exactly the same thing.
	That was bogus.
	Totally bogus.
	I said it was poorly produced because I'm watching this and they're showing the gun.
	It's louder.
	It's like, what?
	It's not doing anything.
	I mean, what point are they trying to make?
	I don't understand what point they're trying to make.
	That doesn't work.
	I've shot with the suppressor.
	It doesn't sound like that.
	That's crazy.
	That's bull.
	It's just fake news!
	There you go.
	Fake news.
	Okay, done.
	I watched a little bit of Houston versus the New England Patriots last night.
	Is there anything I should watch tonight?
	Today?
	Yeah, you want to watch the...
	Because it's local.
	You want to watch the Dallas game.
	It's in Dallas.
	It's a Texas team.
	Play against the visiting Green Bay Packers.
	Ooh, that'll be a good game.
	That'll be a good game.
	It'll be a good game because Aaron Rodgers is on a roll.
	He's very healthy, which is unusual.
	And he's got this pinpoint accuracy thing going on.
	And the fear is that the Dallas team will choke.
	Because the two top players, the quarterback and the running back, are both rookies and haven't been put to this kind of test yet.
	I think Dallas should win this game because I'm not a big fan of the Packers defense.
	I love watching Aaron Rodgers.
	He's one of the greatest throwers I've ever seen.
	And he is with the Cowboys?
	No, he's Aaron Rodgers with the Green Bay Packers.
	I was just testing.
	Just testing.
	Anyway, he used to be at Cal Berkeley, so he's a local boy.
	Oh, okay.
	Remind me to talk about Meryl Streep on Thursday.
	Then I also have some tech news, so we'll be busy.
	We've got a big show coming up on Thursday.
	All right, everybody, keep everything coming.
	Remember, it is your responsibility as a producer of the best podcast in the universe to help us out any way you can.
	And with that, I want to thank everybody for their courage.
	Coming to you from the Crackpot Condo here in the Skyscraper in downtown Austin, Tejas.
	FEMA Region 6 on the map of the government, in case you're looking to see it.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm still cooking the pulled pork.
	I'm going to have to go check in a few minutes.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We will return on Thursday with another episode of the best podcast in the universe.
	You will find it right here on another episode of No Agenda.
	Until then, adios, mofos!
	Go on, go on for the basketball safety news!
	Step right this way!
	Roll up!
	Roll up for the Shapeshifting Jews!
	Roll up!
	The Magical Shapeshifting Jews!
	Roll up!
	A little illustration!
	The Magical Shapeshifting Jews!
	Roll up!
	It's such an aggravation!
	The Magical Shapeshifting Jews!
	You are fake news.
	Hey, hey, hey.
	You read that.
	Fake news.
	I'm also very much of a germaphobe, by the way.
	It's not dangerous even to call them a leaked memo because...
	Maybe the intelligence agency is released by...
	Ha ha ha.
	Released by...
	Maybe the intelligence agency is released by...
	Maybe the intelligence agency.
	He's gonna crack that 1% barrier one day.
	We're talking about the Russians doing what they themselves just did.
	Well, maybe the intelligence agency is released by techniques available in their kit bag.
	And again, maybe the intelligence agency...
	Does RT get any of its broadcast into the United States?
	Yes, it does some.
	It does.
	It's very prevalent in Europe, and less or so, I think there's an RT channel here.
	Michael Agencies, who knows?
	Released by maybe the intelligence agencies.
	Shows what it tells.
	I think it uses the word pee.
	Let's take the word pee out.
	Keep...
	Who knows?
	All of these intelligence people work for Barama.
	Keep in mind that this reeks of Clinton politics.
	This is the...
	Intelligence agencies.
	Who knows?
	On America, he's a...
	He's a...
	He's a...
	He's part of them.
	Not who knows, but maybe the intel.
	Who knows?
	Go ahead.
	Mr. President-elect, go ahead.
	And you say categorically.
	Just be rude.
	Mr. President-elect, can you give us a question?
	Don't be rude.
	Can you give us a question?
	Don't be rude.
	Can you give us a question?
	I'm not going to give you a question.
	You are fake news.
	Sir, can you stay categorically that nobody...
	Can you give us a chance?
	You are attacking our news organizations.
	Can you give us a chance to ask a question, sir?
	Quiet, quiet.
	Mr.
	President-elect, can you stay categorically?
	She's asking the question.
	Don't be rude.
	Can you give us a question?
	Don't be rude.
	Can you give us a question?
	I'm not going to give you a question.
	Can you stay categorically?
	You are fake news.
	Sir, can you stay categorically that nobody...
	No, Mr.
	President-elect, that's not appropriate.
	I'm also very much of a germaphobe.
	Amen, fist bump.
	That horrible voice of hers.
	It's like scraping your fingernails on a chalkboard.
	I got the biggest sissy flip in the world.
	Lindsey Graham.
	We better be ready to throw rocks.
	Do you agree with that?
	That's your choice.
	So when it comes to espionage, we better be careful about throwing rocks.
	I'm ready to throw a rock.
	I think what Obama did was throw a pebble.
	I'm ready to throw a rock.
	He just wants to throw rocks.
	That's a good metaphor.
	Really?
	Really?
	That's a good metaphor?
	Throwing rocks?
	That's a great metaphor.
	So to those of you who want to throw rocks, you're going to get a chance here soon.
	I'm ready to throw a rock.
	And if we don't throw rocks, then we're going to make a huge mistake.
	That's your choice, Senator.
	He just wants to throw rocks.
	Adios, mofo.
	The best podcast in the universe.
