	Are they going to have a sex robot?
	Is that what we're talking about?
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	And Sunday, January 22nd, 2017, this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 8, 9, or 7.
	This is no agenda.
	From J-20 to J-21 to J-22 and broadcasting live from the darkest corners on the internet here in the capital of the drone star state, Austin Tejas.
	And in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, we're being bombarded by rain.
	I'm John C. DeVore.
	Okay, I could have said we are being blown away in Austin.
	That would have been just as good.
	We had 110 knots at Bergstrom Airport yesterday.
	Wow.
	Sounds like kite flying day.
	Yeah, that's not landing day, that's for sure.
	It's unbelievable.
	You walk outside and I almost got blown over.
	I went out to get a coffee.
	I almost got blown over in the street.
	It's very dangerous in Texas, this kind of wind, when it's not too cold.
	What is it now?
	If it blew you over, so what would happen?
	You'd be on the ground crawling.
	No, the dangerous thing is, if it gets around 70, right now it's 63, then you have a warm wind, and if there's any sparks, Texas is on fire.
	That's not very good.
	Oh!
	Welcome to J22, John.
	J-22.
	This is J-22, everybody.
	That's right.
	Well, I'm sure you had a good time.
	Tomorrow's J-23.
	Yes, that's correct.
	I'm sure you had a really good time.
	What happens in February?
	Start with F? F-1?
	Becomes like, sounds like various varieties of jets.
	Yeah, well, F-1, Formula 1.
	Oh, man, oh, man.
	Well, I followed quite a lot.
	What was going on during the inauguration.
	Is there sniffles because of the wind blowing up the dust?
	Yeah, we were at a birthday party Friday evening, and there were two other people who had lived in Austin for 30 years.
	And they're like, I got peppercorns in my nostrils.
	Everyone had it.
	It's the cedar fever, I think.
	We have cedar.
	Has anybody lived there?
	I'm telling you, I don't know how much longer I can handle it, honestly.
	Well, you're always fine when it goes away.
	Yeah.
	But it has not gone away, really.
	You know, it's been this way for...
	I mean, in 2016, I think I had more nasal stuff going on than not.
	Did you...
	Before we start with your thing, you were on the Alex Jones Tribute broadcast.
	Yeah, this was kind of interesting.
	I have a clip.
	Do you want me to tell what I was doing there first, or do you want to play your clip?
	I want to just play the clip in that because this will introduce what you were doing there.
	Oh boy.
	Yeah, the key word is the resistance.
	This is really being used.
	Oh, Keith Olbermann is the resistance now.
	Keith Olbermann now has said, this is the resistance.
	Yeah.
	He's kind of co-opted.
	But I've seen people say, you know, protesting Trump is kind of like the French resistance against the Nazis, which is way over the top as a comparison.
	But you watch for this word resistance, all in the resistance.
	Okay.
	You do know that Alex Jones' show ends with you are the resistance, right?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Did you not hear what I said has been co-opted?
	I said it very clearly.
	Not in that little clip.
	Yes, I did.
	You said co-opted?
	I think so, yeah.
	Yeah, the key word is the resistance.
	This is really being used.
	Oh, Keith Olbermann is the resistance now.
	Keith Olbermann now has said, this is the resistance.
	Yeah.
	Keith's kind of co-opted.
	Let's resist.
	Oh, Keith has been co-opted.
	Okay, yeah.
	Okay.
	Yeah, you're right.
	I just thought it was funny.
	I thought you were, like, burning your bridges.
	No, no.
	In fact, just to prove that I'm not burning my bridges, here is the resistance man himself.
	And I got a center!
	I don't need a bullhorn!
	I don't need any other!
	The will of the republic will dominate this big house.
	1776 will commence again.
	You like it?
	This is just the Info War!
	Imagine you get in a physical fight with us, it's over!
	I know you do now, don't you?
	We haven't taken the gloves off, and if you want to keep pushing with your commie, Chinese, everybody else, we're gonna blow your ass off the map.
	All the secret weapons ain't in the control of you anymore, are they?
	They're now in the hands of George Washington 2.0!
	So I know why you're shaking in fear.
	My God, for 25 years, they've been growing babies and cows!
	They actually tossed to him live when I was there, and he did that bit.
	I've got to tell you, they had asked me a long time ago, would you mind coming in on the inauguration?
	I said, yeah, no problem.
	I can come in for a couple hours.
	I had no idea what the setup was.
	And I think that, well, if you saw it, You know, they're trying to do something interesting over there, which is, you know, to do 14, 15, I guess eventually 24 hours of live video.
	That's not easy to fill.
	And, you know, and so they have these two girls.
	You did a good job of filling a little bit.
	Yeah, thank you.
	Can I give you a little of the dynamics I observed?
	I watched this.
	Sure.
	I didn't watch.
	There was a moment I didn't watch.
	I had to go like, I want to tell you something up front, though, going in.
	I was very aware that I would be there with two women, the two Infowars babes, and the last thing I wanted was for it to be some kind of, you know, like, flirt fest or anything.
	I really didn't want...
	I really didn't want that.
	And you said, hey, why don't you sit in between us?
	I'm like, no, I'm not going to do that.
	I mean, how mainstream media do you want to be?
	I'll sit over here.
	It's your show.
	I'll jump in.
	That was a good move.
	But within the first three minutes, I knew that, oh, okay, I gotta start injecting some stuff.
	Because, first of all, they'd been there for hours doing this stuff.
	And they really, you know, it was all like, oh, you know, we fought so hard against Hillary.
	I'm like, okay, now let's talk about some other things.
	And I just brought up all the knowledge and the topics I could.
	Yes, I know.
	She had every meme that you could remember.
	Throw this one in there.
	Yeah.
	Well, the way I saw it was the way, if you want to see, the way I witnessed the dynamics.
	And I will say I watched the first part of it and then I had some stuff to do.
	Oh wait, I discovered my life was still here and then I wanted to go do something with it.
	And so then I turned on the recorder just to record, I think, like an hour plus, and then I came back and caught the very...
	No, actually, the whole thing ran out of...
	I never caught the most of it.
	But the part I caught, I caught the part to the point where you started talking about oil pipelines.
	Right, of course.
	And what I witnessed was...
	Interesting was that the...
	What's her name?
	Margaret, whatever.
	The girl in the green.
	Or the girl in the blue.
	In the blue.
	She lived in Russia for a year, and she knew a lot about pipelines.
	That was actually interesting.
	I was like, okay.
	Well, that's what made it interesting to watch the dynamics, because first you had the girl in the green, who I guess was the host, and then the girl in the blue, who's the newbie, that she seemed a little out of it.
	And she wasn't looking at you under any circumstances.
	And the girl in the green was flirting with you, and you were trying to...
	Be neutral.
	I recognize that.
	Your Tourette's was acting up a little bit.
	Yeah, but I thought I actually had it pretty much under control for most of the show.
	Well, see, the problem is I'm hypersensitive to it.
	I see it all over the place.
	I saw Munchen give his testimony.
	Oh, man.
	Hopefully, I hope so.
	I mean, can you believe that a colleague of mine is going to be the Secretary of the Treasury?
	But Munchen, man, he's got some good ones, though.
	He's got the classic jerk in his face all over the place.
	He purses his lips.
	Yeah, he's got everything going on.
	And I know exactly what he's feeling.
	I know he's sitting there going like, I don't want to do it.
	I don't want to.
	I had to do it.
	Everyone's looking at the whole world.
	I did it again.
	Oh, fuck.
	I know how this goes.
	It's very...
	So you're doing a lot of the chin thrusts and a couple of these other twists.
	A couple of chin thrusts and a couple of those little jerks to the right.
	Just tell me it's adorable, John, and I'll feel better.
	Well, the girls thought so.
	Anyway, the girl in the green was...
	I think they misinterpreted some of it from flirting.
	I'm sorry?
	The girl in the green was, she was into you.
	And the girl in the blue was jealous and she wouldn't even look at you.
	Oh, is that really how you watch this stuff?
	I was giving out information, man.
	I'm watching, I'm just telling you.
	I said at the beginning, I'm going to give you the sociology of what I witnessed.
	And so that's how I saw the dynamics.
	Because once you get three people, it's a group now.
	They act in group dynamics.
	They don't act like two people just talking to each other.
	So the girl in the blue was all...
	She just hated you.
	Hated you.
	And then came the point of...
	The point where both of you knew something about the pipelines and she was in Russia and you were kind of fascinated by that.
	You perked up by her saying this.
	She perked up that you are now paying attention to her.
	And the two of you, she fell in love with you in front of my eyes.
	Oh, man.
	Okay.
	Well, great.
	Anyway, keep going on the show.
	You should make sure to do this show more often with those two.
	You know, Unless there's a specific topic, because if, you know, after, I said after five or ten minutes, I'm like, oh my god, I'm on the Infowars version of The View.
	I've got to spice this up.
	We've got to talk about some real stuff here.
	We can't just be talking about, we won.
	I don't want to be a part of that.
	I thought you did a good job.
	Thank you.
	You plugged the show.
	You gave me a gratuitous plug.
	You plugged the show a couple of times.
	Well done.
	And she, the girl in the green, the host, she was good at putting in the URL and she did.
	You're very professional.
	I like that.
	And it worked out, I think.
	I think we probably picked up probably three or four new listeners.
	Yeah, I will say that last time and this, you know, InfoWars, they're big.
	I mean, they've got a huge audience.
	And it's interesting how many people from Europe will send me emails saying, wow, I can't believe it.
	I saw you on InfoWars.
	It's fair.
	So, yeah, we definitely...
	Look, I'm doing this.
	Look!
	I'm doing this for the show.
	Yeah.
	That's all.
	That's all.
	Yeah, that's all.
	I would like to do some other things.
	I'd like to talk about some other things, though.
	But this was more...
	This was my...
	Okay.
	And the first time I went on with Max, you know, that was pure promotion for the show.
	This was like, yeah...
	Yeah, I'm local.
	I'll come over.
	I can do this for a couple hours.
	I'll help you out.
	It was fine.
	It was great.
	You should just do it when you can.
	Yeah, but the next time, yeah, we'll see.
	I want to know a little bit more about what we're doing.
	But I had a good time.
	The people there, and there's, I mean, I've been a lot of television studios.
	They got a professional setup.
	I mean, it's all modern, all modern stuff, all digital routing, and tons of people there working it, and they're really, you know, I would say they're quiet, but they're all like, oh, so, you know, your guests there, they take care of you, man.
	They really take care of you.
	Like old school green room stuff.
	Yeah, old school.
	Those days are over for the big networks.
	You can only get that at InfoWars now.
	That's telling you something about the modern media.
	Kind of sad.
	Kind of sad.
	Oh, man.
	I did want to mention one thing before we get into it.
	I happen to write it down.
	I've been wanting to say this for a while.
	What our job consists of mainly is switching around between news programs, news networks, foreign news networks, C-SPAN, and we would just boom, boom, boom.
	I would like to say that I remember when switching TV channels was instantaneous.
	We lost that somehow in all this digital crap.
	When I switch from CNN to Fox, which is one channel up, it takes 10 seconds for, oh, the cable box goes flip, flip, flip, flip.
	Oh, what is it?
	It was HD. Then the TV goes black, blip, blip, blip, pops in.
	10 seconds for every channel switch.
	How is this progress?
	I know what you're saying.
	Well, it's not.
	No, it's not progress.
	Sorry, I can't even get my act together here.
	It's lame.
	Everything has to re-sync and has to be just right.
	It takes forever.
	No, it's just a small thing that I finally decided to write down and mention.
	Like, jeez.
	You got up and it took you less time to get up from the couch, turn the knob from channel 2 to 4, and it was there.
	Yeah, well, it's the good old analog days.
	Yes, yes.
	Do you remember the days of the analog cell phones?
	Those things were crystal clear.
	Yeah, the digital ones, I mean, it almost makes no sense.
	You know, it's better to call through WhatsApp or Skype on your phone than it is to use the actual cell network.
	Yeah, it's blurry.
	All right, so you were going to start off with something.
	Um...
	Yeah, you know, I thought maybe just to ease into it, just to get some voices and then hear some opinions.
	Maybe we start off with a few clips from the Bill Maher show the evening of the inauguration.
	Just to give you a little flavor.
	What are you doing?
	Did you walk off?
	No, you didn't.
	I had to go get something for the show.
	Sorry.
	But I moaned because I have a couple of Bill Mark clips that I thought were the best, too.
	Okay, I have...
	Well, obviously, you probably have two Keith Olbermans and two Jane Fonda's.
	There's no doubt about it.
	I have no Keith Olbermans.
	I've decided, and I thought I mentioned this to you already, that they should be limited on the show.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Well, I have one Jane Fonda.
	All right, let's play your Jane Fonda clip and we'll see if mine fits into that.
	We'll see how we do.
	I have been a celebrity for a long time.
	And I have been told that I should shut up because I was a celebrity.
	But what celebrities can do is that they can bring attention to things that wouldn't normally get attention, you know?
	And what you missed, I kind of liked when he said, you know, aren't celebrities important?
	Or does it matter?
	And she was like, oh yes, they're very important.
	What do you say to the right-wingers who call us sore losers?
	Because that's the other thing that sticks in my craw.
	We are not sore losers.
	It just so happens that we understand that because of climate change, we don't have time to make mistakes.
	Right.
	We are facing an existential crisis.
	This is never, you know, after he was elected and people said to me, well, you know, we'll have to put up for this for four years.
	We don't have four years to lose.
	We have to fight so that they stop extracting oil and gas from the ground.
	That's what the 99% of the climate scientists say.
	Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.
	We're going up now, 99.
	Yeah, you pretty much encompass both of my clips.
	It's fine.
	I thought that this was the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
	Well, actually, I thought her whole thing is about climate change.
	She didn't give a shit about Trump getting elected.
	Time code, sorry.
	Yeah, well, listen, I'll play the beginning of my clip.
	I'll tell you one thing, though.
	Trump should have more respect for pussies because if penises could do what pussies could do, they'd be on postage stamps.
	Well, yeah, it was dumb, but no, I have a point to make about this.
	We're all out there for equality, and we certainly have to talk about the Women's March.
	And the way women showed their solidarity was pussy power, pussy hats.
	And if I saw...
	I must have seen a hundred signs that would say...
	You know, pussy much more powerful than penis because a pussy can take a pounding.
	I mean, it's like, what are we doing?
	Yeah, I know.
	It was borderline disgusting.
	It's disheartening.
	I mean, seriously, now, I don't understand.
	Well, Trump gave us the open the door.
	Now we can do it.
	All right, well.
	By the way, I want to mention something here, because I'm going to be mentioning this a lot over the next couple of years of this show.
	The president controls the social style of the country.
	So when Bill Clinton said that blowjobs weren't sex...
	And they were okay.
	All of a sudden the entire country became obsessed.
	And he still deserves a medal for this.
	I'm very happy with what he did.
	And so we have Trump opening the door for this kind of profanity.
	And now it's gone crazy.
	It's just obvious at this event.
	I don't want to get into 21.
	Let's do 20 first.
	We can kind of do it in a little chronological order.
	Oh, I'm sure if you're going to be a stickler.
	Yeah, I'm going to be a stickler.
	And by the way, I should mention to people that don't know much about Tourette's, people with Tourette's are neat freaks, and Munchen has got to be the greatest guy for that job ever.
	I'm not really a neat freak, but I'm not really a neat freak.
	You want a neat freak in office for that kind of job.
	Yeah, you are.
	No, I'm not.
	I get a kick out of you saying that all the time.
	I'm not.
	It doesn't matter.
	I'm not.
	All right.
	Bill Meyer with Kiefer Olbermann.
	But I think what we should do is start doing what the Tea Party did in 2010.
	Yes.
	Fight.
	Fight.
	Fight at all times.
	Interrupt everything.
	Every day you scream Russia.
	Every day you scream corruption.
	Every day you...
	And you remind every day who won the electoral vote again did not get a mandate.
	Wait a minute.
	He said...
	Who won the electoral vote?
	He did not get a mandate.
	Now, I think what you meant to say is the popular vote, but he's such a tool, that's Olbermann, that he messes it up.
	...every day, and you remind every day, who won the electoral vote again?
	He did not get a mandate.
	Right.
	And when John Lewis said he was not a legitimate president, I assume you're on that page.
	I am on that page because he's not a legitimate president.
	I would agree with that.
	But he is the president.
	I mean, it's one of those you have to keep two thoughts in your head at the same time.
	We do have a president.
	We are still Americans.
	He is the American president.
	I agree.
	He didn't get there quite legitimately.
	But here's the thing.
	I think we're underselling how the non-legitimately part of this works.
	Oh, not me.
	We were invaded, is what it boils down to.
	Just because there was not blood on the streets.
	Right.
	If the Russians had come in with Cossacks and put him in, I think we would have had a different kind of reaction to it.
	That's the reaction we need now.
	What I saw last night was a lot of people hooting and hollering correctly and getting fired up and going, we're going to resist this in every way possible.
	And other people going, you really think it's that serious?
	Yes, I do think it's that serious.
	It's the same thing.
	But it's the point of a...
	The point of a war, other than to gain territory, is to put the guy you want in charge of somebody else's country.
	And we're now only debating at this point, after the story in the New York Times yesterday, how much the Russians decided our election.
	Okay, so he's talking war, he's talking spilled blood, we want our guy.
	You know, he's very violent.
	The guy is a guy who was a big shot in various broadcasting venues, and just now he's a podcaster that can't really get work.
	I don't see why he's getting any ink, any airtime whatsoever, let alone on our show.
	I will continue to complain about this.
	Yeah, you complain about my last clip where you'll never hear Keith Olbermann again because he just lays it out there, what this really is and what has been going on and how the media is complicit in this.
	Both of these gentlemen are doing this.
	He's not a legitimate president, but if we keep saying that, does it do any good?
	Yes, because it crowds, it begins to...
	This has to be approached psychologically in terms of what's in the public discourse on both sides of the, oh no, you're fake news and we're real news.
	No, no, we're fake news and you're real news.
	To dominate this, one of the ways to do it is to, as you were talking about before, the buttons present themselves.
	They're almost self-pushing buttons, so we have to push the buttons on him personally, make this as unpleasant personally for him, since that is what decides everything he does.
	So every time you see a tweet, Sub-tweet him.
	Swear words.
	What's sub-tweeting?
	Sub-tweeting?
	Does he mean retweet?
	Sub-tweeting?
	Retweeting is just retweeting.
	I think what he's referring to is when you do the retweet.
	With a comment.
	No, I know what he's really referring to.
	I think from his perspective.
	He's referring to you return the tweet with just the answer to the tweet thing.
	But then you put the dot.
	In front of the at sign to get it to tweet out to everybody, and I think that is referred to, I think that's what he means by a subtweet.
	Every time you see a tweet, subtweet him, swear words.
	Swear words, really?
	Send it right back at him, and if he doesn't see it, somebody who supports him will ruin their day.
	It's a psychological war, and the other part of it is...
	Yeah!
	What we know is true, which is, we don't know if it was treason or espionage or violation of some of the Logan Act language.
	We don't know which it was.
	If the best case scenario is they violated the Logan Act and were busily rewriting foreign policy long before this man was in office, that's the best case scenario.
	Just keep mentioning it every day, stealing from the Tea Party.
	Yes.
	That's Using their weapons, taking their hammers out of the conservatives, the Republicans and the Trumpians, and hitting them over the head and chasing them to hell with it.
	We don't seem to have a Trump defender here.
	Fake, fake.
	Fake, fake, fake.
	You are fake news.
	This is fake news.
	Woo!
	There you go.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Sounds good.
	Well, he reminds me of another maniac.
	Who I could have gotten a lot of clips from because he seemed to have been the emcee at the Women's March.
	Oh, let me guess.
	The old lesbian, Michael Moore?
	Exactly.
	Well, the day before, he was in New York City at another rally.
	I got a kick out of the fact he kept wearing different baseball caps.
	But in New York City, he was in front of the Trump building with a bunch of other people bitching and moaning.
	And this is what he has to say to stop, to be the resistance.
	Everybody has to commit to doing something every single day now.
	Every single day.
	You don't have to quit your job.
	You don't have to drop out of school.
	It's just something very small you have to do.
	Every day, you have to contact your member of Congress or one of your two senators.
	Every day.
	It takes three minutes.
	Wake up!
	Brush teeth!
	Make coffee!
	Contact Congress!
	Oh yeah.
	I'll remember that.
	That's the new morning routine.
	The phone number is 2-0-2-2-2-5-3-1-2-1.
	You call that number any time of the day or night, a human being answers it.
	There's an actual 24-7 switchboard.
	Call that number.
	If you don't know who your congressperson is, that's okay.
	Call it anyway!
	Just give them your zip code!
	Everybody knows their zip code!
	So I have the ISO? Oh yes, I see it.
	I got it, of course.
	Everybody knows their zip code!
	Everybody knows their zip code!
	We sure do!
	So he does this and he gets everybody riled up and they all say, yeah, we're all going to do it.
	Okay, what are you going to say?
	Well, that is more for the J-21, but I think what I'd like to do, because I just have a number of short clips, Trump did a speech.
	Okay.
	Just in the mode of interrupting each other like we've been doing for the past few shows and not being a nice smooth show, I want to stick back to the Bill Maher show.
	Okay.
	Because we were talking about it.
	Alright.
	Because Bill Maher told one of the most outrageous racist jokes.
	Oh.
	The audience went berserk over it.
	They thought it was hilarious.
	Oh.
	And I don't understand how they didn't recognize this as a borderline...
	Clip of the day.
	Disgusting racist joke.
	Oh, I saw the whole show.
	I'm curious to see what you got.
	Find a theme was, once you go black, you can go back.
	Mic drop.
	And by the way, for all you racists out there, if you saw that shot of the new president standing with the outgoing president and their families, the one with kids by three different women was the white one.
	Yeah, which is essentially saying black people have multiple baby mamas.
	Yeah.
	It's a good condemnation of the black family.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	He's a dick.
	In an offhanded way.
	He couched it for all your racists and all this other stuff.
	This is a racist joke.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah, it's completely...
	That should not be allowed.
	Everyone thought it was not great.
	Standing O. Mm-hmm.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah, I'm glad we both wasted brain cells watching that drivel.
	But it was kind of funny.
	It was funny.
	Yeah, it was a little bit strange.
	Alright, um...
	Do you have any more?
	No, I'm done now.
	Whatever you were going to, I'm following you.
	The reason I bring up the speech is because this was very obvious.
	Although I'm sure the mainstream media in general...
	They were going to say this anyway, but the way people interpreted that speech was one of two ways, and it depends on which universe you're currently...
	It's your universe, I agree.
	Yeah, you're cruising in one universe, or I think parallel dimensions is a little bit better than universes.
	Well, the problem with parallel dimensions is that, well...
	I think it's more realistic.
	And whole universe.
	I think parallel dimensions.
	Two dimensions in the same universe.
	In the same 3D plane is kind of odd.
	But I guess it's possible.
	Whatever it is, we're witnessing something.
	Yes, something is going on.
	And, of course, the media, and that's what I have some of these clips just to give you an idea of how that was, you know, they're playing into the universe that they squarely stand in.
	I mean, I heard, and I was really blown away, I heard the line I liked the most was, if your heart is filled with patriotism, there's no room for prejudice, which immediately was touted as the most racist line in the speech.
	I'm questioning myself.
	What?
	I didn't quite understand.
	Now I'm racist.
	Okay.
	Whew.
	Tough.
	Let's listen to a couple of responses.
	Well, let's, you know, right after the speech, which again, it was only 15 or 16 minutes long.
	And I heard a lot of, we're going to do it together.
	I love hearing our country, our country, our country.
	You know how much I love that.
	And it was pretty much what I expected, because that's what everyone who voted for Trump expects from him.
	I don't think they, you know, somehow there was this vibe like, oh, he's going to be different and presidential.
	And, you know, he just stood there and he burned the whole Washington elite sitting behind him.
	That was badass!
	I'm sorry.
	And the funny thing was, they would clap, you know, a little bit.
	Yes, we suck!
	But not Obama!
	No, no, no, no.
	Anyway, here's Rachel Maddow.
	This was a workmanlike speech.
	A workmanlike speech.
	What does that mean?
	That this is blue collar?
	Is this beneath her?
	From her perspective, it's a form of an insult.
	That means you just did the job.
	This was a workmanlike speech.
	It was short and he went through it quickly.
	And it was militant and it was dark.
	The crime, the gangs, the drugs, this American carnage, disrepair, decay.
	You can't imagine the outgoing president giving a speech like that.
	No.
	Why would the outgoing president say, hey, I really screwed it up, everybody?
	No.
	Or I didn't fix it.
	I won't blame him, but I didn't fix it.
	I didn't do anything.
	And come on.
	But she's quoting...
	Adjectives from one part of the speech, which I think is...
	I mean, I've been to Indiana.
	I've been to Pennsylvania.
	Yeah, there are factories like tombstones littered across the Midwest.
	That's true.
	Yeah, they're all over the place.
	They're all over just besides the Midwest.
	They're in the South.
	They're in the Northeast.
	It was mind-blowing, mind-blowing for them to deny the central part of what this entire election was about.
	This president also repeating, the new president also repeating that our guiding principle, America First, America First, we know how he has used that as a campaign slogan that does also have very dark echoes.
	No, no, no, no, okay.
	America First has dark echoes.
	Apparently...
	There was the America First Committee, which was a non-interventionist group set up to stop the United States from entering World War II. And obviously they failed.
	And so I had no idea of the history of this group, America First.
	So she is now calling this something that has very dark roots as well for two reasons.
	One for this America First, and you can guess the other one.
	There's a campaign slogan that does also have very dark echoes in American history.
	It was an America First committee that formed in this country, hundreds of thousands of people in this country, some of the richest businessmen in the country who were part of it.
	They were formed to keep us out of World War II. They were infiltrated by the Nazis.
	Many of them were anti-Semitic, part of why they weren't alarmed by Hitler's rise in Germany.
	Committee is something that means a specific thing in this country.
	To repurpose it now, not that far down the historical path, it's hard.
	It's hard.
	Now, this is the first I've heard of the America First Committee.
	There's very few people alive that even remember that group.
	And he's been saying America First for a long time, but now all of a sudden it's very dark and there were Nazis.
	Somebody dug this up and they decided, holy crap, we got him.
	Yeah, and Chris Matthews read the same memo.
	Reince Priebus and Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon will be an unusual triumvirate around this president.
	We don't really know who will be first among those equals.
	It's hard to, Rachel, it's hard to fire your son-in-law.
	Yeah.
	That's the tricky part.
	That's why there's some laws there.
	But Mussolini had a great solution to that.
	He had them executed.
	So if I were Jared, I'd be a little careful.
	All the people who are waiting for the mention of Mussolini have just started drinking.
	You know, Rachel, I just saw the warm embrace that W gave to the Supreme Court justices, especially the Republican ones, and I realized why he embraced them.
	They put him in office.
	That was gratitude.
	They're loving it.
	The race for him was called Bush v.
	Gore.
	Here we go.
	Here we go.
	When he said today, America first, it was not just the racial, I mean, I should say racial, the Hitlerian background to it.
	Hitlerian background, John.
	A Hitlerian background.
	You say American first, you're a Hitler supporter, somehow.
	This has a Hitlerian background.
	Hitlerian.
	Is that even a word, Hitlerian?
	Yeah, of course it is.
	I mean, I shouldn't say racial, the Hitlerian background to it.
	But it was the message I kept thinking, what does Theresa May think of this this morning when she picks up the papers and says, oh my God, what did he just say?
	He said, America first.
	What happened to the special relationship?
	What if you're Putin?
	You're probably pounding the table saying, that's what I've been saying.
	Russia first.
	Russia first.
	This whole bullying message to him.
	Yeah.
	Oh, man.
	If you're the head of a country, don't you put your country first?
	Why is this a shock to him?
	Well, because it's Hitlerian.
	They're globalists.
	If I'm Theresa May, hello!
	Hello, Theresa.
	If I'm Theresa May and I'm talking to a guy, what's he supposed to be?
	Britain first?
	Is that what our American president is supposed to be saying to her?
	Britain first?
	No.
	The world first?
	Yes, the world.
	Yes.
	I believe that the parallel universe believes that presidency is the most important job in the world.
	We've heard them say it many, many, many times.
	It's a world job.
	It's a world job.
	You're running the world.
	Not to change your thing, but there was a big meeting, and this is part of this discussion.
	This clip is the protest at Koblenz.
	But in Koblenz, there was this big meeting of all the alternative populists from all the different countries.
	They had this huge meeting.
	Oh, I didn't know this.
	Yes, it was a big deal.
	Did they have Le Pen and all those folks there?
	Yep.
	I don't know if I have a Wilders thing.
	I don't think I clipped it, but I was going to play because it sounds just like you doing that voice.
	Hey, everybody, I've got to tell you that we can make America great again.
	So there was a protest about The globalist protests of kids, mostly, and outside, and they're bitching and moaning about these people even being alive.
	And I just, there was one slogan that was in there, and I saw this during the Brexit period, too, this particular concept, which they keep bringing up.
	And just play this clip, and it's going to read off the signage that people are marching around with.
	The protesters were shouting slogans such as, no borders, no nations, no deportation.
	Let's find out more about the reaction to those protests.
	My guest now...
	No borders, no nations.
	Yeah, that's globalism.
	That is the new world order right there.
	No borders, no nations.
	Everybody one color.
	Kind of brownish.
	Beige.
	Well, NBC certainly didn't think the world was enjoying the inauguration of Donald Trump.
	President Trump is being welcomed by Russia.
	Certainly the Kremlin isn't sad to see Mr.
	Obama go.
	Beyond Russia, though, a world of anxiety, even fear about what he means.
	But in Moscow, a party.
	Wow!
	Trump...
	Trump. Russian celebrations for Donald Trump, a U.S. president welcomed here as never before.
	Trump. Trump. Trump.
	They heard him talk of new alliances. .
	And believe Trump will mean better relations.
	Trump's inaugural address, though, has caused global alarm.
	America first.
	The headline policy many worry means a trade war.
	Chinese state media saying prepare for the worst.
	Protests against Trump in Germany, where leaders are warning of a rough ride ahead.
	In Australia this morning, tens of thousands of women marched against Trump.
	And in the Middle East, divided opinions.
	Meanwhile in North Korea, preparations for a new long-range missile test appear to be underway.
	The global challenges have begun.
	President Trump...
	I love it.
	The show will launch rocket.
	I mean, it's overload.
	How can anyone parse this properly when it's like, wait a minute, Russia, Moscow, Putin, North Korea, we're all going to die.
	Everyone's afraid.
	Listen to what happens to young Americans.
	I think it's a 12-year-old girl who was outside the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Reporter spoke with her.
	Why are you here and why are you doing this?
	Well, we're here basically at the very start of the weekend of Disrupt Day 20, the weekend that Trump takes office to remind everybody that actually what's behind us up there in the National Press Club ballroom is actually they are completely part of Trump.
	They're part and parcel.
	We're seeing up there in the ballroom Nazis...
	The same groups that actually you saw last year doing Nazi salutes.
	We're seeing these so-called alt-rights, alt-right, I call it.
	And, you know, I think that we have to really be concerned about this dangerous direction that our country is going in.
	Lacey, what about the peaceful transition of power, regardless who has won?
	Donald Trump has won the election, but you seem to be trying to resist it.
	Why?
	It doesn't matter who won or lost.
	When you come for our communities, when you come for us, and when you try to violate our rights, we will resist.
	Okay.
	The resistance is in full force.
	What rights were violated?
	Ah, well, we'll get to that in just a moment.
	I have two more clips, and then we're going to transition.
	I have...
	When you're done, I do have one clip.
	You can figure out where to fit it in.
	But on PBS, on the NewsHour, they had this big panel.
	Huge speech critique.
	And there was a speech critique in there that was, I thought, very...
	Well, let's do it.
	Let's do it now.
	Let's do it now.
	I like that.
	Let's do the speech critique.
	Excellent.
	The White House, but Donald Trump is going to bring light to America.
	Well, I think that that's precisely the problem.
	Maybe he is going to continue to bring the fight to Washington, but there was no acknowledgement that he had won.
	His party has won.
	One of the most important aspects of an inaugural speech is to actually end the campaign.
	To move beyond the campaign to bring about a sense of reconciliation and unity with all of those who fought fiercely against you.
	And I think there's also this other piece where he failed to recognize his moment in history.
	He did not acknowledge past presidents, those who are sort of lions in the pantheon of presidents, whether it's Thomas Jefferson or Abraham Lincoln or George Washington.
	He did not notice or witness the ceremony as being important in history.
	You know, Bill Clinton, who came to office with only 43% of the popular vote, began his speech by talking about how this speech takes place in the dead of winter.
	But that part of the words and the faces of the people are about forcing the spring.
	That there is a sense of renewal.
	And Trump did not provide that.
	No, and that was actually one of the things I liked.
	There was no hoity-toity, yes we can, hope, change.
	There wasn't any of that.
	I think if you listen to her and what she suggested, like, let's compare him to Jefferson and Lincoln and Washington, if he did that, he would have been blasted.
	Who does he think he is comparing himself to Jefferson?
	Oh yeah, of course.
	I knew Thomas Jefferson.
	You're no Thomas Jefferson.
	There's no winning that.
	Well, Gloria Borger, who again, I still don't know why, you know, what her connection, why she is so important to CNN as their senior political analyst, that she said something very similar about this speech.
	Let's get some quick thoughts from Gloria Borger.
	I think this was an unusual inaugural speech.
	It was a continuation of the campaign very much.
	I think it was kind of a fist bump of a speech.
	A fist bump?
	No way!
	Amen.
	Fist bump.
	This is what I'm going to do.
	This is what I campaigned on.
	And then he gave the kind of literal fist bump when it was over.
	Amen.
	Fist bump.
	I think that I couldn't help but thinking about the president sitting Sitting there, when he talked about the American carnage that they had presided over, I'm not quite sure that that would have gone over well with them.
	And I was also surprised that in some way he did not pay some tribute to Hillary Clinton.
	I expected, as George W. Bush did to Al Gore when they had a hard-fought fight, I thought that would have been a unifying moment for him, and he did not do it.
	Okay.
	He didn't follow protocol and tradition.
	That's what's going on.
	It's not protocol, tradition.
	We're shocked.
	Now, shocking to me were all these pundits who are supposed to know something.
	We had all these balls, and we had the armed services ball, which, of course, is the big one for the Trump-Pence ticket.
	They had a lot of support from veterans and military personnel.
	And, of course, in the vein of, ha, ha, ha, they can't get any celebrities.
	Ha, ha, ha, what a bunch of losers.
	Ha, ha, ha, ha.
	And then we do expect President Trump to make comments at the Salute to Armed Services ball, comments no doubt tailored specifically for that audience there.
	Anna Marie Cox, we learned from Hallie Jackson that Now, Anne-Marie Cox, I want to say, she's an elite.
	She's top.
	She's way up there.
	She runs big foundations affiliated with the Clintons.
	She's no slouch, and she should know what's going on here.
	Anne-Marie Cox, we learned from Hallie Jackson that Tony Orlando was singing.
	And we learned that Hallie had to Google him to figure out who he was.
	And she did seem to assume that you knew who he was.
	I don't know.
	Who could the guy be?
	Okay, if you are in the news business and you do not know the first thing about the Armed Services Ball or the fact that Tony Orlando, the song Tie a Yellow Ribbon, has been a staple for military for almost 50 years.
	It is a huge song for these people.
	And Orlando, of course, he has no other career because that's pretty much the song, Tony Orlando and Don.
	One hit, one dirt.
	Actually, he had a TV show.
	He was pretty famous for his little era.
	But he is USO. He is everywhere performing for troops and doing things that are never mentioned.
	And for them to just sit there and laugh, like, look at my head.
	She had to Google him.
	Hey, ass wipes.
	Now, that was...
	No, it's not insulting.
	It's just it shows you how incredibly uninformed and dumb they are.
	Just dumb.
	Well, it's dumb, dumb, dumb.
	Okay.
	Now.
	That was a good one.
	It was very...
	Oh, Hallie Jackson had to look him up on Google.
	Yeah.
	Who are these women reporters that NBC is loaded with them?
	They all look kind of the same.
	They're attractive in a funny, awkward way.
	And they're all Trump haters.
	And Katie Turr is another one of them.
	Hallie Jackson, you can't tell the difference between one and the other.
	And they seem to have, I don't know, where they got a degree in probably communications or something.
	They don't know anything.
	But when you're prepping, when you're just prepping for this...
	It's obvious that you have to know a little bit about what's going on.
	What are the producers doing?
	Are they not doing anything?
	No, they're not doing anything because the producers are the same underpaid youngsters that are just probably at the peak that they're ever going to get in their careers if they're working for the big network.
	But no, they don't know anything either.
	Nobody can correct anybody.
	We've seen example after example of crazy people.
	Stuff that's said in a giant, in a network environment where you have cameramen, you have assistants, you have associate producers, you got producers, you got people in the control room.
	There's lots of people.
	But what I've explained to several...
	And they don't know that this didn't happen or that didn't happen.
	It's weird.
	Worse than that, and I've used this to explain to several people, your word...
	That it is the milieu of these news organizations to just scoff at people who do not fit within their idea of, in this case, celebrity.
	So they don't even, you know, just take a second.
	And it's okay because, you know, Larry O'Donnell, one day you'll be old and you'll only have one show.
	And we'll laugh about you.
	Oh, who's that has-been, washed-up douchebag.
	Now, this morning, in the New York Times, headline, New York Times.
	Billionaire George Soros has ties to more than 50 partners of the Women's March on Washington.
	Subtitle.
	What is the link between one of Hillary Clinton's largest donors and the Women's March?
	Turns out it's quite significant.
	And blown away, this is written by Asra Nomani, And Asra has actually open-sourced all of his or her, I guess it's a he, no, it's a her, has open-sourced all of her research to show these 50 organizations, that minimum 50 organizations, that were involved in the march yesterday.
	And I think that's very encouraging that the New York Times actually cared to write about that.
	It's about time somebody did.
	Yeah.
	Now...
	I'll be the first to say, man, I was blown away by the number of people marching.
	I mean, Austin was insane.
	Well, I watched a couple of things.
	I watched, the thing to watch, and I love, maybe give me a second here to explain what C-SPAN, you know this, but a lot of people don't realize it, C-SPAN occasionally will dedicate one of their channels to just a camera.
	Yeah, full on, yeah.
	Just doing nothing.
	Or in the case of the marches, there was a camera that they were walking through the marchers.
	And so you got to see all the signage.
	It's like I did these things occasionally with my little video.
	Well, you remember the Occupy Wall Street, and it was Occupy LA.
	We were doing the show.
	I was living in LA.
	I went downtown to go check it out.
	Remember that?
	Walked there, looked at all the tents and everything.
	And I had a big sign, don't draw me, bro.
	But within 20 minutes, I realized, oh, wait a minute.
	This is bull crap.
	This is the teacher's union who has the microphone.
	Everyone else is not important.
	It was a union event.
	It was not anything grassroots.
	It was lame.
	So anyway, you got to walk through this, and I did get to hear, there's a bunch of, I got a couple of things to talk about.
	But one is the chant.
	There's a new chant.
	I don't know if you've heard it.
	I've got a copy of it here.
	Yeah, is it, this is what democracy looks like?
	No.
	The other one is, hey ho, Trump has got to go, or something stupid.
	That's an old classic.
	But no, this is what democracy is.
	This is what democracy is.
	Nuts.
	There's actually a new chant.
	I never heard it before.
	And I just thought it was pretty funny.
	I'm saying we need a leader, not a greedy tweeter.
	Creepy.
	Oh, creepy tweeter.
	Not a creepy tweeter.
	We need a leader, not a creepy tweeter.
	And you can always follow me on Twitter.
	Not a creepy tweeter.
	That's not a bad chant.
	I like that one.
	It's okay.
	It's better than the other one.
	Yeah, that's funny.
	When people say, hee hee, hi ho, Trump has got to go, and this is what democracy looks like, this is a republic.
	Yeah, it's a Republican.
	And even so, if it was a democracy, that's not what democracy looks like.
	No, not at all.
	This is what a protest looks like.
	That would make more sense.
	Yes, I agree.
	Now, there was...
	One of the things that went on was a lot of...
	Men on the street interviews done, especially by RT and some of the other, and Fox, to make these people look as stupid as possible.
	But there's an actually best one I found.
	And this was done by Guy-Anne.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, hold on a second.
	Guy-Anne.
	Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chan.
	Ch-ch-chan.
	Oh, baby.
	Ch-ch-chan.
	Guy-Anne.
	Ch-ch-chan.
	Ch-ch-chan.
	That's right, everybody.
	She is the number one on Russia Today.
	That is the state-sponsored propaganda arm of Putin.
	That's right.
	Okay, what did Guyane do when she...
	This is the best interview.
	You can hear this.
	It's the best man on the street?
	That's the one?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	What makes you say that Putin got Trump elected?
	I was just thinking, like, because...
	Because everybody else is saying that?
	No, because there was leaked information from the same spy that leaked Watergate, so it's like...
	What information?
	What good information?
	I don't know.
	I can't think of it on the spot.
	Yeah, all right.
	Bend over, John.
	I heard that one.
	Yeah, that is your typical male protester on J21. Makes nothing but sense.
	It's just pretty big of girls.
	Now...
	But we're getting ahead.
	We brought it in.
	We still got to back up because you made the chronological thing because you're a neat freak.
	So let's get back to the day before.
	Well, maybe I should start with...
	Oh, actually, I should...
	Oh, what just happened?
	Are you there?
	Yeah.
	That was a weird sound.
	Okay.
	Yeah, maybe we should do this one for a second.
	When Adam needs to make an example of some typical slaves, he just reads the comments on his facebag page.
	He's gonna read facebag.
	That's right, gonna read facebag for you, everybody.
	Just wanted to give you a little bit of flavor of what was in my newsfeed.
	And when I read these types of things, it makes me incredibly sad, right off the bat.
	But it's also kind of hilarious.
	I have the same pathetic opening to this every time.
	It makes you sad.
	I find it hard to believe these sensible people on Facebook would make you sad in any way.
	Hi.
	I got up early to write something to you guys.
	Something for us.
	Something that would be comforting or inspiring or both.
	I can't do it.
	Everything I write keeps sucking.
	I don't have any clarity at all this morning.
	Just a feeling of overwhelming sadness mixed with fear and disbelief.
	The world outside feels ominous and eerie and dangerous to me.
	In fifteen minutes I'll wake up my babies and get them ready for school.
	Then Abby and my mom and I will fly to sister's house in D.C. to get ready for the march.
	Tomorrow I'll be all fiery and hopeful again, I'm sure, but today the truth is I just feel afraid.
	Afraid for people of color.
	Afraid for the gay community.
	Afraid for my Muslim friends.
	Afraid for all women.
	Afraid for my friends with disabilities.
	Afraid for our children to whom we can't promise any longer that the highest values of our land are respect, integrity, fairness, kindness, goodness, inclusion, diversity, humility, courage, and wisdom.
	This is the thing.
	I still cannot believe that I live in a country in which violence against women is not a deal-breaker, in which blatant racism isn't a deal-breaker, in which religious intolerance isn't a deal-breaker, in which the mocking of disabled is not a deal-breaker.
	I am simply stunned by it!
	You get the idea.
	I'll keep this thread open.
	If you need a safe place to be today, I'm here.
	And your community is here.
	I'm sad and afraid, but also, I am here!
	First the pain, then the rising.
	Yes, first the pain, then the rising.
	So you kind of see, and I take this seriously.
	People are really afraid.
	They have been frightened.
	Yeah, by their own people.
	Well, every single talking point, I'll just call it, of which the J-21 marchers had, has been completely deconstructed and debunked on this show.
	Every single one.
	And the best is, it just keeps boggling my mind that the LGBT community were so afraid of it.
	And it's all based on the lie that the Republicans in their platform, and in particular in Indiana, Mike Pence, signed legislation to divert funds for HIV to behavioral...
	What was it?
	The deprogramming?
	Yeah, it was deprogramming.
	Oh, crap.
	No, I forgot.
	You go into this speech, and then you drop the ball on that one word.
	I did.
	It's funny.
	Yeah, you know what I mean.
	Yeah, it's the gay deprogramming thing.
	Where, in fact, Pence was the one who specifically signed a bill in Indiana to disallow that ever from happening.
	Right.
	But no one talks about that.
	Well, that's like a point I'll make later in the show when I play those Leaving Office Samantha Powers clips, which have lots of that sort of thing.
	Wait, no, no.
	I'm leading into a clip.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, I was going to give you a break by playing the Madonna clip.
	Well, I don't want you to play the Madonna clip because I have the Madonna clip.
	Oh, you have the Madonna clip?
	Of course, I have the Ashley...
	Do you have the Ashley Judd clip?
	I had the Ashley Judd clip and I realized it was too long and too...
	It was actually disgusting.
	I was able...
	To watch her go nuts.
	I was able to cut it way down.
	But, before we do that...
	Um...
	This was not an inclusive march by any means whatsoever.
	This was not covered at all, but I did get one clip.
	So it was going to be a really unique opportunity to stand with other women and just send a very clear message that with this new incoming administration, we were going to be holding Donald Trump accountable.
	And there are plenty of women who had Different ideologies and political backgrounds who are coming together.
	And, you know, the site itself talks all about unity and inclusiveness and diversity.
	So when we were actually added as a partner, being a pro-life feminist group, we're not used to getting included in a lot of circles, but it was incredibly hopeful that this march was doing exactly what it claimed by including people even who had different opinions.
	And you don't even support Donald Trump, right?
	I was not a Donald Trump supporter, no.
	But you are pro-life.
	And because you have that stance, these women all of a sudden said, you and your other female friends in your organization are not allowed to march with us.
	Right.
	Once it came out in an Atlantic article that was actually praising them for being inclusive and adding us, within, I believe it was something like two hours, there was a huge Twitter storm of people demanding that we be removed.
	And unfortunately, the march did cave to that pressure and decided to remove us as official partners.
	But either way, we will still be out there representing the pro-life feminist contingent, and we will definitely still be marching.
	So how can they say they're inclusive and they welcome all women when they're not including everyone?
	They're excluding you.
	Absolutely.
	I mean, of course, the irony here is they're standing against a Trump presidency, and you wonder, have they learned anything?
	The reason that I think a Trump presidency caught a lot of people by surprise is because so few people were willing to openly admit that they were supporting him, right?
	Because they had been silenced and told that their opinions were unacceptable.
	And then now here they are doing the exact same thing to pro-life women.
	And the reason this is important is now with the knowledge and the, of course, if the New York Times says it's so, then it is so.
	Now with the knowledge that Soros was funding at least 50 of the so-called partners, and clearly they were not funded, so therefore, whoops, you're off the partner list.
	This was not inclusive.
	This was absolutely not inclusive.
	Yeah, if you're a woman, great.
	But if you're pro-life or have any other different stance, you're not allowed.
	So, this was not a women's march, in my opinion.
	This was a...
	It was a coordinated effort, and it, I believe, really preyed on women's fears in the most disgusting way, and it was very effective for this one day.
	We'll have to see what comes of it after this.
	What do you think?
	Well, no, but I want us to talk about that in a minute after we go through some of these clips.
	Speaking of the abortion issue, here's Kiera Johnson.
	She was one of the sanctioned partners.
	My name is Kiera, and I'm the ED of Unite for Reproductive and Gender Equity.
	And I work with young people, and I am unapologetically abortion positive.
	Great term.
	Abortion positive.
	Wow, that's a good one.
	That's a good one.
	I never heard that one.
	Gloria Steinem was...
	And I want to say, none of the three cable news networks were covering these speeches.
	MSNBC did a little bit, but they were all way too busy covering the prayer breakfast or the national prayer, whatever it was.
	And meanwhile, these speeches were going on, and I had to find a YouTube channel to really watch it uninterrupted live.
	They had it on C-SPAN uninterrupted live.
	Okay.
	Well, I just defaulted to something I knew I could get it, so it was the pool feed from there, so I didn't even think about C-SPAN. Gloria Steinem, of course, a very well-known feminist.
	She weighed in for a moment.
	And remember, the Constitution does not begin with I, the President.
	It begins with we, the people...
	So don't try to divide us.
	Do not try to divide us.
	If you force Muslims to register, we will all register as Muslims.
	Okay.
	It's a good line.
	It's a good line.
	Yeah, it seems unlikely.
	It's based on a fact-check-false, I would have to say.
	Fact-check-false.
	And here's Madonna.
	Madonna, who initially had...
	I think she offered fellatio to everyone who was going to vote for Hillary Clinton, if I recall correctly.
	I don't remember that.
	Yeah, yeah, she said anyone who voted for Hillary...
	Was there a sign-up list or anything?
	I don't know if I... I think we might have had a clip for that, I thought.
	Well, no, it was very clear.
	I remember this.
	So she took it in a different direction, in a very Madonna-type way.
	I don't mind F-bombs.
	I think they're kind of funny.
	But I just think they were misplaced and shows in the...
	And I'm...
	Of course, I have Tourette's.
	That's why it slips out with me.
	I can't help myself.
	But it just shows a lack of imagination for saying anything else.
	And it was across the board...
	There were so many F.U. words and signs and slogans.
	It was not becoming.
	That's not love.
	You say these things in a hateful manner, I feel.
	And to our detractors that insist...
	I should say, if you have kids listening, etc., etc., if you can't stand words, it's coming.
	...that this march will never add up to anything.
	Fuck you.
	I noticed everyone has kind of gotten the same memo.
	Well, let me back up for a second.
	You can always tell when there's an unprofessional or non-professional on the stage, they always think that they have to speak the way an orator sounds in a big audience.
	Like, how you going?
	That's not what you need to do when you're on stage.
	It will sound like that.
	You know what I mean?
	Actually, Michael Moore does that.
	A lot of people do it.
	Madonna doesn't do it.
	There is an amplifier and there's a microphone in front of you.
	You don't need to yell into it.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Fuck you!
	Oh, thanks, Madonna.
	It is the beginning of much-needed change.
	Change that will require sacrifice, people.
	Okay.
	Change that will...
	What I was going to say is, what everyone called on to is, when you want the crowd to chant, you've got to do it at least three times to get them going.
	Make sure that they remember what they're saying.
	...quire many of us to make different choices in our lives.
	But this is the hallmark of revolution.
	So, my question to you today is, are you ready?
	I said, are you ready?
	Say yes, we're ready!
	Say yes, we're ready!
	One more time, you're ready!
	Yes, I'm angry.
	Yes, I am outraged.
	Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
	Of course, what everyone says is if this had been the other way around, if anyone said it about Obama, then it would have been a huge controversy.
	And that's all true.
	But this is just the world we live in.
	This is not the world we live in.
	This is the alternative universe.
	And it's just accepted now, these things.
	There's no more outrage over saying these things.
	In fact, if you look at the tweeters, I must have counted, before I stopped, at least 50.
	Wouldn't it be great if someone assassinated Trump right now?
	I mean, that's what people are tweeting.
	Well, they should all be investigated by the Secret Service immediately.
	Yeah, well, that's not going to happen.
	Oh, yes, it is.
	I don't think so.
	I do.
	You really?
	Yes.
	Secret Service takes this very seriously.
	Let's wrap up Madonna here.
	But I know...
	That this won't change anything.
	We cannot fall into despair.
	As the poet W.H. Auden...
	Have you ever heard of this poet?
	Oh, he's very famous.
	Well, I wasn't impressed by this line.
	Well, the line was dumb.
	I don't know what the point of this quote was out of context.
	Thank you.
	That was my point, too.
	Once wrote, on the eve of World War II, we must love one another or die.
	What a great quote.
	Boy, I'm blown away by that one.
	And then followed up with fuck you!
	Ah, great.
	I choose love.
	Are you with me?
	Yay!
	Say this with me.
	We choose love.
	Fuck you.
	We choose love.
	Fuck you.
	We choose love.
	She didn't say that.
	I edited that in.
	You did.
	You edited it because I had that same exact clip and didn't remember that part of it.
	I would have kept that part.
	I ended it with the Auden thing because it was too stupid.
	All right, so now...
	The one thing you don't want to overlook here...
	Half the audience, well, or 30, somebody's making a lot of money on these stupid pussy hats.
	There was money being made, yeah.
	And there's a lot of foundation drives, a lot of people getting money.
	There's a lot of money to be made, and the hats are dumb.
	It looks like two ears.
	It doesn't even look like anything.
	But you had to notice that of all the pussy hats in the whole place, Madonna wore a black one.
	A black one, of course.
	Well, she's a style icon.
	Come on, man.
	You know that.
	But I feel that Ashley Judd, and I put the link to her full appearance.
	She was up there for 20-25 minutes.
	It was incredibly entertaining.
	I really love watching it.
	And then, what I like the most is that, and I just cut some stuff together, it kind of flows.
	When she goes through, she has this list, and she's like, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, of all the things.
	And it's all those talking points.
	And...
	Every single one of them is based on media coercion, collusion, right down to, you know, Donald Trump said women of abortion should be punished.
	You have to remember, this was actually, most of what her rant was was a poem.
	Yes.
	Written by a teen girl.
	Yeah.
	So you're going to get that kind of depth.
	Yeah.
	And here it is!
	It's not like a poet laureate or anything that knows what they're doing.
	If you've not seen this, Or heard this, I think you'll find it enjoyable.
	You'll be, hmm, intrigued at least.
	And I bring you words from Nina Donovan, a 19-year-old in Middle Tennessee, and she has given me the privilege of telling you what she has to say.
	I am a nasty woman.
	I'm not as nasty as a man who looks like he bathes in Cheeto dust.
	Hold on a second.
	Stop right there.
	Yeah, making fun of the color of someone's skin.
	Making fun of somebody's skin color or whatever they put on their face.
	But this is the kind of thing that these people are supposed to be against.
	Yeah, there's a lot of the Cheeto orange face.
	The guy's face is orange.
	Make up your mind.
	If you want to be a bigoted jerk-off...
	Say so, but don't go, oh, you shouldn't say this about that person.
	Oh, you shouldn't say that.
	You got to be politically correct about this.
	Oh, don't call him a he or a she.
	Call him a she.
	All this kind of thing.
	But Dan, when you got the microphone, you're worse than they are.
	It's a man who looks like he bathes in Cheeto dust.
	A man whose words are a diss track to America.
	Electoral College sanctioned hate speech contaminating this national anthem.
	I'm not as nasty as Confederate flags being tattooed across my city.
	Maybe the South actually is gonna rise again.
	Maybe for some it never really fell.
	Blacks are still in shackles and graves just for being black.
	Slavery has been reinterpreted as the prison system in front of people who see melanin as animal skin.
	I am not as nasty as a swastika painted on a pride flag and I didn't know devils could be resurrected but I feel Hitler in these streets a mustache traded for a toupee Nazis renamed the cabinet electro conversion therapy the new gas chambers shaming the gay Out of America turning
	rainbows into suicide.
	Notes, I am not as nasty as racism, fraud, conflict of interest, homophobia, sexual assault, transphobia, white supremacy, misogyny, ignorance, white privilege.
	I am not as nasty as your own daughter being your favorite sex symbol.
	Like your wet dreams infused with your own genes.
	But yeah, I'm a nasty woman.
	A loud, vulgar, proud woman.
	I'm not nasty.
	Like the combo of Trump and Pence being served up to me in my voting booth.
	Why are tampons and pads still taxed when Viagra And Rogaine are not.
	Is your erection really more than protecting the sacred, messy part of my womanhood?
	I can't see.
	My eyes are too busy praying to my feet, hoping you don't mistake eye contact for wanting physical contact.
	Half my life!
	I have been zipping up my smile, hoping you don't think I want to unzip your jeans.
	I thought this was a very important speech, not for all of the homophobic, misogynistic, you know, those are all just the talking points.
	I like the comment about feminine hygiene products, that those are taxed, and Viagra is not taxed.
	Toilet paper's taxed too, by the way.
	Okay.
	I think women...
	Is somebody going to bitch about that?
	No.
	But women have...
	They have a lot of legitimate gripes.
	World over.
	Of course they've got a lot of legitimate gripes.
	But, as a member of the community that is shunned and hated...
	Namely, older white males, cis, of course, which doesn't...
	I'm not upset.
	You can hate me and call me the patriarchy.
	Check your privilege, man.
	Check my privilege, and I'm the problem, and I helped found this country on racism.
	All of those things.
	You can say that.
	It doesn't affect me the way it's intended.
	But I understand the point and the frustration and the fact that these women, who I think in general, were abused into this march, which was an example of moral self-licensing, i.e.
	not that much different from changing your avatar, because it goes...
	What is happening today?
	Nothing.
	Now the thing that I... I want to talk about one thing.
	Yeah, somebody's calling their congressman.
	Yeah, congress office.
	I'd like to complain.
	When the mainstream really started to clue in that this was pretty big, and then everyone started switching over, it took a while, and most of the big speech has already been done, but they're showing the massive amounts of people all over the world.
	Personally, I thought, you know, maybe Trump should come out and say something right now.
	That would be kind of good.
	And it was insinuated that he might do that as, oh, we're going to have a press conference.
	And this was the biggest troll move, and I have thoughts on it.
	You know, so, oh, okay, maybe Trump will say something.
	He's going to address this protest.
	And I actually felt, hey, man, this would be pretty good.
	You know, what an opportunity to say something.
	And then, of course, what happens is Sean Spicer comes out, the new spokeshole, and he, I believe, appropriately excoriates the New York Times in particular for creating fake news and false and lies and just being mean-spirited for no reason other than to do it.
	I thought Spicer's thing was dropping the gauntlet.
	Oh, it was setting the stage for what it's going to be like, absolutely.
	But I think you, again, have violated your own rule here and jumped ahead.
	Okay.
	By a lot.
	Well, actually, I jump ahead so you can pull back and then push us all the way to the finish line.
	Well, I'm not pushing anybody to the finish line.
	I'm going to go back the day before, which you insisted on.
	Oh, I thought we were done with the day before.
	No, you thought we were done.
	I wasn't done.
	Okay.
	Because I had some observations to make about the events immediately after the inauguration.
	Okay.
	Because C-SPAN, again, had one of these roaming cameras, and they took us into the ballroom.
	They had this big lunch.
	I just want to point this because there's a point I want to make here, which is something I observed by just watching the camera, being on the other side.
	It was done in the National Statuary Hall.
	Everybody was there.
	Mm-hmm.
	And they had the armed guards, you know, walking down the thing.
	They were moving people from here to there.
	Schumer, everybody was there.
	Everybody was there.
	But the most interesting thing was is that the honor guard or whatever they are came in and they formed kind of like two sides and you walk down the middle.
	Right.
	Except for Trump's family and a few others came around the outside and they went in some other way.
	But before they even got the honor guard, they were anything.
	McCain...
	And his wife showed up early.
	Oh.
	And I thought this was a political movement.
	I thought it was quite smart.
	McCain went early to check out who was seated at whose table because every table had a number and a little name tag.
	And so McCain gets in there early and starts going from table to table reading all the name tags.
	Yeah, of course.
	He wants to know where to go to schmooze.
	Of course.
	That's what he does.
	No, you don't have a choice.
	Oh.
	No, he will know where to walk to, to schmooze.
	Maybe, yeah, he would have a note, you know that, and he could also see where he is in the new pecking order.
	And I'm telling you, it's like table 50.
	He's way in the back.
	Yeah, good.
	A couple things I noticed also was that they were using, I don't know if this was always the case, if they do this all the time, or if it's just in honor of Trump, but the silverware was all gold plate.
	Of course.
	Why not?
	And then they cut away to another camera, which was just...
	Can I just say something about this?
	I have a feeling, because this was the lunch, right?
	To me, I think that was, in a way, a concerted effort by the media to keep Trump there, because by the time they were out to do their parade, it was almost dark.
	there and you know and and keep the parade i don't i don't okay i i haven't had enough time to research but i have a feeling there was something screwed up with the timing and they and was dark by the time they were finishing up the parade well anyway they had well they did have the parade and he got to walk along They had a camera for that too.
	But the camera that was interesting was before he went, he came into the lunch almost last.
	And they had him signing stuff.
	And people were baffled by this.
	He was essentially signing orders to allow certain people to be in his cabinet.
	And he was signing, signing, signing, signing, signing.
	But while he was signing, he was surrounded by the Stooges.
	He had Paul Ryan, he had Schumer, all these people around him.
	And Pelosi?
	Pelosi was up his butt?
	Pelosi was there.
	All the big shots were there, and they're all smiling.
	And they're grabbing pens.
	He had a bunch of pens come out.
	And then he has three kids, three little kids that aren't his, that were standing, they brought them to the table, and they started grabbing the pens, sticking around with the pens.
	Yeah, it was funny.
	And so then Trump, who has a signature that takes 10 minutes to sign, he's going to have to change this.
	Well, they get the auto pen.
	It takes him forever to sign.
	I'm sure he'll use the auto pen.
	Well, you can't do an auto sign on a bill.
	No.
	And besides, it'd be more trouble than it's worth.
	But so he's signing and signing.
	And then they're kippitzing.
	Paul Ryan, use more than one pen.
	Use more than one pen.
	And Trump is just plowing ahead and signing.
	He's not giving a crap about this stupid...
	I always thought it was dumb.
	Obama would...
	Sign a bill.
	It would do his first, the B with one pen and then another pen.
	Different pen.
	Yeah.
	Dump.
	Trump's just grinding away with the one pen.
	He says, what, did somebody want this pen?
	So he gives the pen to somebody.
	And then they start fighting over the pen.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's pretty pathetic.
	Pelosi says, this isn't the pen I want.
	And he says, unbelievable.
	This is going to be a very funny situation.
	Yeah, it was pretty pathetic.
	Kudos to C-SPAN. Yes.
	I agree.
	Alright, now I can move to the next day.
	Well, no you can't.
	Because I have, just as a little color commentary, when the family and everyone's, the Obamas are about to leave on Marine One, and the Trump family walks out.
	Whatever it was, they weren't doing it according to protocol or tradition or whatever it was.
	And here's what MSNBC, here's the commentary.
	As I mentioned, look at the ambient light.
	We are losing daylight fast.
	I believe I read sundown was at 516 local time tonight.
	And that also brings us to an explanation that the organizers gave us.
	Tom Barrick, who is the venture capital guy from New York who Donald Trump had set up this event, Has explained to us that we're seeing so many empty bleachers because lunch ran late and then they could not get bussed down in time.
	They're screwing this up, man.
	They're screwing it up.
	Here comes the extended Trump family out to the reviewing stand, including Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner.
	Why do I think of the Romanovs?
	There's an aspect here.
	That's the first thing that comes to mind, the Romanovs.
	And they can't stop laughing about it.
	There's an aspect here.
	I mean, this extended family, all attractive, of course, and just we're getting to know all of them so quickly.
	Well, it's a big family, and it spans a lot of years.
	The power is being distributed among the families.
	Children from three different marriages, so he's got a 10-year-old.
	He's also got sons who are, you know, in their early 40s.
	He's investing his family with authority.
	I mean, who's going to argue with Jared and the government?
	Oh, man.
	They're just beside themselves.
	Romanov.
	Yeah, that's the first thing I think of.
	Well, I'm watching the thing.
	I didn't go there.
	I stayed on the C-SPAN because they showed that whole thing.
	And I don't know if you had this feeling.
	I'm sure a lot of people did.
	But the whole time, from the minute he starts to sign off and do the pledge as president to defend the Constitution, to the chopper that was there that the Obamas got into, and then I guess they went right to the 747, the big...
	Air Force One and flew to California for a vacation, which I thought was rounded out the whole thing very nicely.
	And you know, they never landed at their intended airport.
	They were diverted for some rain or something.
	I think it was Palm Springs, and they were diverted for rain.
	And I don't even know where they landed.
	They didn't land at PSP. Can you land at 47 at Palm Springs?
	One of the worst airports in the world.
	That's where I think they were going, PSP. Okay, so now back to the J-21, the Women's March.
	Wait a minute, let me make my point.
	The point was that I'm watching this thing from the inauguration all the way through the chopper taking off, and I keep thinking to myself...
	Maybe the chop will blow up.
	Or maybe there'll be a rocket attack right here.
	Or maybe there's somebody who starts sniping at the event.
	Throughout the entire event, I'm thinking this because I've been programmed to think that something bad's going to happen.
	Well, I also had those moments.
	And Twitter was very hopeful for those moments, apparently.
	So the J-21, and of course, at least 10 women I know who I saw in the face bag, and they were there, and they were very happy, and I saw the camaraderie, and I understand, of course, none of these women that I know necessarily are pro-life or have different ideas.
	They're all kind of from...
	The same thinking and background that women have worked with, and I know very well, and I'm happy that they all felt happy, and they seem to be having a good time.
	I don't think it's very fruitful, and I question what this moral self-licing exercise will result in, because, of course, J23, or 22, is today, and you'd want something to be clear.
	But as we said before, it seems like there's so many agendas, so many different, you know, from CARE, this is the Council on American-Islamic Relations, to URGE. Playoff football.
	Playoff football.
	Now, so first I was like, you know, I think he should talk, he should talk, he should talk.
	And after thinking about it and discussing it with some of my friends, I've concluded that they probably made a very good choice in throwing out a huge distraction, which all the news bought into it.
	So, if I were producing news, and I think it was on its way, where people were saying, holy crap, look at this, look at all these cities that are switching.
	Paris, Berlin, DC, New York, LA, Austin.
	Women, women, women.
	It's like, oh my god, if this guy doesn't say something, and then I'm thinking...
	There was no way he could win, no matter what he would say.
	Even if he came out and said, I will do everything you ask for, it would have been turned into, he said he's going to kill us, or whatever.
	I think the Trumps realize this, that there's nothing he could say at that moment.
	In fact, I've talked to several women and said, what did you want to hear?
	I would like to hear some reassurance.
	But he's like, this has been, there's no way.
	You can't get the reinsurance words through to the brain.
	Just as an example, Roe versus Wade.
	Same-sex marriage.
	Trump has answered this very clearly.
	That's law.
	He's not going to go and change that.
	You know, the way people are, we're talking is as if their rights had already been taken away.
	Yeah.
	And, okay, so they come up with a plan, in my mind, it's like, we got to do something.
	I know.
	Let's distract these people.
	They're such idiots at the news media.
	We're going to make a big deal about their fake photo of how many people were there.
	Make that a big deal, and then they'll forget all about the women and responding to them.
	And as far as I could tell, that's exactly what happened.
	In fact, you can hear Gloria Borger again from CNN. She understands it's a distraction, and still they take the bait.
	Today, at the CIA event, there's a large march going on in Washington and around the country, which was not addressed in this statement that Sean made.
	And it's one of those statements that you can see that the president's upset.
	He goes out there, he makes a statement, and then he leaves.
	And I guarantee you that it's because Donald Trump is angry about this.
	In terms of the statement, it was carefully worded, as Ryan pointed out, while we were listening, because he may have included TV ratings and all the rest, but why are we arguing about how many people were on the mall?
	Because that's the whole point.
	We want you to not talk about the march.
	I'm glad there's no other problems in the country now.
	Is there anything else?
	I mean, why is this even a topic?
	Could there be any other reason to do that?
	Mark Preston, CNN does not give crowd estimates.
	We don't do that.
	But we do have two pictures from 2009 and a picture from yesterday taken from the same location almost exactly at the same time.
	And you can see the crowd size there in 2009.
	Mission accomplished.
	Brolf is so stupid.
	Well, we do have the pictures we can show.
	You can see that it's not...
	And as far as I could tell, there was no other conversation about this huge march, which I think was pretty big.
	I think it was a big deal.
	It's just misguided, poorly organized.
	We have tons of men on the street, producers, who have sent me rundowns of everything they witnessed, and consistently they say, well, it was pretty poorly organized.
	You know, people just kind of walking around, except for the stages, you know, where there were one in D.C. and then you had a couple in other cities.
	You know, There was a picture.
	This is a little bit of an aside.
	I just retweeted it a little while ago before we retweeted the thing here.
	There's a picture that's floating around Twitter of somebody bitching about the mess they made, the marchers.
	And there's piles of signage, most of it handmade.
	I don't understand why anybody in the DC area doesn't go down there and collect as much of that stuff as they can.
	These signs are art worth collecting.
	Yeah, it's true.
	I have a whole bunch of people sent me, got a Dropbox, with signs, with chants, all kinds of stuff.
	I'm looking for this picture you tweeted.
	What did you tweet?
	It's a picture in there somewhere.
	I think I retweeted it.
	Hmm.
	No.
	I'll have to go back.
	I will retweet it, but anyway, it's a great photo of piles and piles of signage, and a lot of it's beautiful collectibles.
	You could fill a whole office wall-to-wall with these signs.
	It would be very decorative.
	In the show notes today, I'll put the entire archive that one of our producers made for us, and it has videos.
	It's a good historical document, I think.
	What was your feeling in general about this march?
	Because this is something I can't just let pass by.
	This was not just a small anomaly.
	I thought, because again, I'm watching this, I'm virtually there with the C-SPAN camera roaming around.
	I saw it as one giant mixer, a pickup place.
	There was at least 20-25% males at this Women's March.
	And I think that these guys with the man buns who were there, they're there to pick up women.
	That's what I'm thinking.
	That's what I was seeing.
	I was seeing a bunch of guys looking like they're going to try to pick up women.
	And a lot of women look very amenable to going out to dinner with some guys and then bitching and moaning about Trump.
	Yeah.
	You know, if you're going to meet one of the women there, if you're also into the thing, you know, Michael Moore was probably there to pick up somebody.
	You know, it's like no agenda meetups.
	You know, the people that are at the meetup have a like-minded, you know, kind of a thing going on that would make it very easy to, like our defense attorney mentioned in his note, he said, hey, I didn't have to worry about dealing with the idiots when I went out to dinner.
	Yeah.
	Hmm.
	That's what I saw it as.
	I saw this one giant, hey, what are we going to do?
	Let's go out.
	What have we got to do on Saturday?
	There's no playoff games, no basketball.
	Let's go to this thing with all these women.
	Let's go, guys.
	Well, you know, to me, the fact that the mainstream media was really not covering what was being said Did no one catch that?
	You had this huge march and they just showed helicopter shots and they showed very little.
	Of course, you can't show Madonna because although that did go out live I think on a couple of the channels.
	But But in general, I don't think they could even explain what was going on or what the idea was or what the mission, what is the mission?
	I'm just asking a simple question.
	What do you want?
	And I keep hearing, we want our rights back, you know, or don't take them away.
	Well, as far as I know, nothing has changed.
	Nothing has changed yet.
	And it just seemed like an abusive situation.
	I don't know.
	It did not feel good to me.
	Well, again, I thought it was a mixer.
	And I did think that the speakers were all nuts.
	I mean, they were just complete socialists bitching and ranting and screaming into the mic.
	But I don't think that 90% of the people were close enough to those rigs to even hear any of that.
	I think it was just people wandering around and Oh, I like your sign.
	Oh, thank you.
	Let's chant something.
	I got a good one.
	And they all start chanting it.
	It was very...
	It just seemed like a...
	Have you ever participated in the 60s in any marches, any type of...
	I went to teach-ins at the University of California where they brought up lecturers and big people, they're sitting on it, like, I don't know, a thousand people sitting on a lawn, maybe 400, you can't tell if it's 1,000 or 500 or whatever, sitting on a lawn, and these guys would come up and give us long...
	It was lectures, it was just like being in a schoolroom, in a classroom, and they would tell us about, you know...
	Some of the bull crap that was going on, and it was a teaching.
	It was very interesting.
	I've been to certain situations where there was a riot taking place, and I've been in a riot situation.
	I know kind of what to do.
	Always make sure you're somewhere around a solid object that you can hide behind, because every once in a while the crowd will turn and start running, and you have to be...
	Out of the way.
	Out of the way.
	It's very risky because you start running with the crowd, you trip, you get stomped on.
	So you want to, I always was, I always be around a tree, big tree, or something that you can just tuck yourself behind because when people are running because cops are chasing them, it's like a dog and a cat.
	The only reason the cops are chasing them is because they're running.
	And it's just, so you have to find some place where you can be safe.
	And I managed to do that.
	What I'm most interested in, because maybe I'm just not as short-sighted as other people, but if we continue this for four years, eight years, whatever, you know that when the tables turn, which they always do, the pendulum always swings, and we have a Democratic powerhouse in Washington, do they think it's not going to be horrible?
	I don't think it's going to be horrible.
	Do you think people will forget?
	This is just a group that is...
	It's just not a small group.
	No, but again, I think a lot of it, Mimi was talking about this because they wanted to do one of these, I think they did, in Port Angeles for the old ladies, and she kept being hounded.
	Oh, let's go.
	We're going to go do it.
	We're going to demonstrate.
	We're going to go to demonstrate.
	It was like a social event.
	And she finally had to tell them to stop talking to her because they kept pestering her.
	She should come.
	And this is, again, financed by Soros, as you pointed out earlier in the show.
	So there's a lot of money here.
	And I just thought it was a big giant social event.
	I didn't see it had any impact whatsoever.
	Yeah.
	You know, we were at this kind of interesting Friday, Inauguration Day.
	I'd done the whole Infowars thing.
	I bought back.
	This is the former New York banker's wife.
	It was her birthday.
	And he always has an interesting crowd of people.
	And of course, we were going to go.
	And it's a restaurant in East Austin, which, holy crap, if you ever get here, John, I'm going to take you here, it's called Griselda's.
	It's on the east side, which is interesting.
	The east side is really starting to build up.
	As we know, kick all the poor people out.
	So, yeah, gentrified.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Hey, that's right.
	It was very odd to be there with 16 people and not one word was spoken about the inauguration.
	Not one.
	What did you expect him to do?
	What word would you expect to have?
	I mean, I've been floating around and I haven't heard a word about the inauguration either.
	But when have you ever heard a word about the inauguration?
	I just expected that.
	I didn't want a political conversation.
	I didn't want that.
	I forgot to wear my American flag pin.
	I wanted to piss everybody off.
	I forgot.
	That would have been funny.
	But I don't know.
	I just thought it was interesting.
	There were women there who I'm sure are all in, but I don't know.
	Yeah, you're right.
	Mixer, social, and I feel incredibly sad that...
	Women I know, I think they were duped.
	They may have had a great day.
	Yeah, I think they had a great day.
	There's a lot of money behind it.
	You can dupe people that way.
	But again, if it's just a mixer, because it wasn't raining or anything, and you can go out with your little pink hat on, and you can see like-minded individuals.
	It's like a wake.
	It was a commiseration for Hillary.
	There was like a giant wake.
	That was the end of that idea.
	Now let's, you know, back to business.
	But let's do this first.
	Maybe we meet some people that we didn't know before and talk to them and maybe date them.
	I'm telling you, when you took the C-SPAN tour, I watched it for about an hour.
	Except for the little chance that came in between people wandering around.
	It's just wandering around people with signage.
	Most of it handmade.
	Well...
	Here's what I say to women who I know.
	I said, look, you know, if your rights really are in danger, I'll be the first to stand up.
	I'd do that in any case.
	But I don't think this did a lot, and apparently, and I think this is the difference, People both in the inaugural speech and as a response to the J-21 wanted some kind of uplifting, hopeful, inspirational message that would make them feel good.
	And you're just not going to get that from Trump.
	He's just not going to do it.
	Even if you get that from him, they're not going to interpret it that way.
	You say so yourself with your universe theories.
	That's the problem.
	That is the big problem.
	They're going to hear one thing, you're going to hear another.
	And that's exactly what's going on.
	So whatever Trump says is going to sound like crap.
	So moving forward, I think the only thing he can do is just show success.
	Not that that will be interpreted as positive.
	No, that would be bad.
	But I think he does have to show success.
	Pre-definition is in play.
	You can't do anything about it.
	Now, I do, just before we go into a break, I do want to mention one thing, which is something we've been talking about from the beginning, which is Trump's got to make friends with the CIA. Right.
	Yes.
	So he goes to the CIA. He goes to...
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Before you do that, I know you have a clip.
	I have a setup for that, though.
	Hold on.
	I have a setup for your CIA clip.
	Here's a setup.
	Here it is.
	Hold on.
	I got it here.
	I hope it's what I hope it is.
	I hope it is what you hope it is, too.
	Here we go.
	This one.
	I'm saying that it was the media that made up the feud between Trump and the CIA, but we know, forgive me damn well, that he pushed back, right, on the CIA reports, on what they came, the conclusions they came to on Russia and hacking.
	He referred to it repeatedly in tweets as intelligence in quotes.
	Exactly.
	He was undermining this.
	Multiple times.
	Look, we the media are a very easy target.
	That is not going to change.
	It has been so since the beginning of this republic and probably since the beginning of time in the free world.
	Oh, yeah.
	But, you know, he can say what he wants.
	It's unfortunate that he said that there, on hallowed ground.
	Hallowed ground.
	It happens to be not true, that we conflated things that he said.
	All you have to go do is look at his Twitter feed to see what he said, putting intelligence in quotes, saying at his own press conference that the way that he thinks that they acted is like Nazi Germany.
	That's not us.
	Those are his words.
	Okay.
	Now, they went on.
	I saw this, too, and I didn't...
	I was remiss in not clipping the better part of it, but it was kind of scattered, because the same people that did the Trump, the Russian report, the British spy, and all, the same guy, that one guy in particular is a newbie there, and he's always defending himself.
	There's about three or four people sitting there on the CNN thing, and they're saying, oh, this was hallowed ground, and he was standing in front of it.
	It's hallowed ground.
	The list of the dead CIA agents and they shouldn't have done it there.
	He was disrespectful.
	The CIA hated it.
	Well, then they said, well, nobody spoke up.
	And no, they didn't.
	But they were very upset, you know, and all the rest of it.
	They go on and on about how it's a bad thing that Trump did.
	Now, I have a short clip.
	And one of the problems, of course, is he gives it to the media again.
	But I have a short clip of this.
	When he's in there, behind him is the wall, and he's bitching about there's only 400 people there because there's 1,000 that wanted to get in and they're all standing outside.
	And he says he'll come back to speak some more.
	Now, I want you to listen to this and tell me if you hear any evidence that anyone felt bad about him.
	He's in the rotunda.
	It's not hallowed ground.
	It's a rotunda.
	It's hallowed ground.
	Hallowed, hallowed.
	I heard hallowed so many times.
	Or hallowed ground.
	It's beside the point.
	It's that it's not the cemetery he's in.
	Yeah, true.
	So they made a big fuss about this.
	Just listen to this.
	This, I think, was the atmosphere.
	And this is a bunch of CIA employees.
	Like if Tom Brady's on the cover, it's one time because he won the Super Bowl or something, right?
	I've been on it for 15 times this year.
	I don't think that's a record, Mike, that can never be broken.
	Do you agree with that?
	What do you think?
	But I will say that they said it was very interesting that Donald Trump took down the bust, the statue, of Dr.
	Martin Luther King.
	And it was right there.
	But there was a cameraman that was in front of it.
	So Zeke, Zeke from Time Magazine, writes a story about, I took down, I would never do that because I had great respect for Dr.
	Martin Luther King.
	But this is how dishonest the media is.
	Now, big story, the retraction was like where?
	Was it a line or do they even bother putting it in?
	So I only like to say that because I love honesty.
	I like honest reporting.
	I will tell you, final time, although I will say it when you let in your thousands of other people that have been trying to come in, because I am coming back, We may have to get you a larger room.
	We may have to get you a larger room.
	You know?
	And maybe, maybe it'll be built by somebody that knows how to build and we won't have columns.
	Do you understand that?
	We get rid of the columns.
	But, no, I just wanted to really say that I love you.
	I respect you.
	There's nobody I respect more.
	You're going to do a fantastic job, and we're going to start winning again, and you're going to be leading the charge.
	So thank you all very much.
	Thank you, beautiful.
	Thank you.
	All very much.
	Have a good time.
	I'll be back.
	I'll be back.
	Thank you.
	Yeah.
	They're whistling and hooting and laughing.
	How is this hallowed grounds?
	What are these people on CNN talking about?
	They're doing anything they can to disrupt this presidency and make this guy look bad.
	And I think what happened here, and it was interesting that that was his first real order of business, his first stop anywhere, the pencil pushers are out.
	The douchebags who are responsible for this high confidence, that's Brennan, these guys are gone.
	And from what I understand, from our contacts with civilians inside the Pentagon, is...
	They're happy these douchebags are gone.
	They don't like the non-operative guys running these shows.
	And everyone seems to be very happy with Pompeo, if he is confirmed.
	Which, of course, is another issue, because they're holding back that confirmation.
	Well, they rarely...
	They're going to make it tough on these guys, but they're not going to...
	Generally speaking, if it's one of their own, which Pompeo is...
	As a legislator guy.
	And he's also on the committee that oversees the CIA. They'll just make his life moves.
	They have to approve him.
	There's no question about that.
	Now, I do have the clip before we go to break, if you want to hear it, of that first press conference.
	Because this is where...
	What's his name?
	I can never...
	I'll never remember this guy's name.
	Sean Spicer.
	Spicer.
	Sean.
	This is where Sean...
	Here's an easy way to remember.
	Sean the spokeshole.
	Sean comes out and he just...
	This is good.
	I think this is going to be the best part.
	Oh, yes.
	Because I've never seen a press guy do this.
	Where he comes out and excoriates the media.
	Mm-hmm.
	And tells him that this is not going to be...
	He doesn't say these words, but he's pretty much saying no more business as usual where you guys get to do whatever you want.
	It wasn't a problem with Obama because they were all psychophants.
	But this guy knows that Trump's going to get nothing but grief from the media.
	So he's going to...
	Every time they screw up, it seems to me, the main part of the news conference is going to be him calling them out on it.
	Thank you guys for coming.
	I know our first official press briefing is going to be on Monday, but I wanted to give you a few updates on the president's activities.
	But before I get to the news of the day, I think I'd like to discuss a little bit of the coverage of the past 24 hours.
	Yesterday, at a time when our nation and the world was watching the peaceful transition of power, and as the President said, the transition and the balance of power from Washington to the citizens of the United States, some members of the media were engaged in deliberately false reporting.
	For all the talk about the proper use of Twitter, two instances yesterday stand out.
	One was a particularly egregious example in which a reporter falsely tweeted out that the bust of Martin Luther King Jr. had been removed from the Oval Office.
	After it was pointed out that this was just plain wrong, the reporter casually reported and tweeted out and tried to claim that a Secret Service agent must have just been standing in front of it.
	This was irresponsible.
	And reckless.
	And it was really race-baiting, and everyone knows that's why the guy did it.
	He thought he had a scoop.
	Time Magazine, bastion of truth.
	Thought he had a scoop.
	Ha ha ha ha ha!
	Racist!
	Secondly, photographs of the inaugural proceedings were intentionally framed in a way, in one particular tweet, to minimize the enormous support that had gathered on the National Mall.
	This was the first time in our nation's history that floor coverings have been used to protect the grass in the mall.
	That had the effect of highlighting any areas where people were not standing, while in years past, the grass eliminated this visual.
	This is also the first time that fencing and magnetometers went as far back on the wall, preventing hundreds of thousands of people from being able to access them all.
	Fencing and magnetometers?
	Did you mean metal detectors?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Preventing hundreds of thousands of people from being able to access the mall as quickly as they had in inaugurations past.
	Inaccurate numbers involving crowd size were also tweeted.
	No one had numbers, because the National Park Service, which controls the National Mall, does not put any out.
	By the way, this applies to any attempts to try to count the number of protesters today in the same fashion.
	We do know a few things, so let's go through the facts.
	Right, right.
	I think it...
	I don't know if it sounds petty.
	I think it's aggressive.
	I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
	Bitch and moan about whatever gets written.
	There's two ways.
	I mean, there's two things to look at.
	One, again, there's three things, actually.
	One, I think this was a distraction thrown out there specifically.
	I really believe that.
	What?
	It's a distraction to get the press talking, because when you call out the press and say, hey, you guys are all full of crap, and at this point, everybody was showing the two side-by-side pictures.
	All the news networks are doing that.
	So instead of, it's basically, don't look over there.
	Don't look over here.
	Nothing to see.
	Ooh, look at that.
	And it's the throwing down of the gauntlet, which I agree is, this is it.
	We're going to call you out.
	We're going to shame you, except they're really going to do it.
	Shame.
	Yeah, that's what it is.
	It's going to be press shaming constantly.
	And it'll take up a lot of time at the beginning of each news conference because you're going to have to go in to the news conference.
	Sean, the press guy, is going to come out.
	Take your beating.
	And you're going to take a beating for 10 minutes and then you can start asking questions.
	I'm telling you, I think this is fantastic.
	Well, there's no doubt, John, that we are in for a great...
	I mean, we have to do this show for at least four more years.
	This is going to be hilarious.
	This is going to be fantastic.
	I don't think I could have hoped for anything better than this.
	And there's no change in direction.
	Everything's exactly the same.
	I'm very happy with that.
	You?
	Yeah, I think it's great.
	I said it before.
	Everybody knows I mean it.
	I think it's great for the show.
	It's much more entertaining.
	I think the second dimensional split that you...
	Identified.
	Yeah, you've identified.
	I think that's kind of a drawback because that means we lose...
	We lose audience.
	We've lost a lot of audience to this because you can see it in the emails.
	Oh, yeah.
	Or you see it in tweets once in a while.
	Sure.
	I used to think you were...
	And then they bitch and moan.
	The incognigro, I believe, is on the other side of the split, and he's bailed on us.
	Well, for sure, and I think this is probably a good thing, Propaganda.
	Propaganda, propaganda, propaganda.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say the morning to you, John C. C stands for C-SPAN, man on the street.
	John Forrest!
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	In the morning to all ships and sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	And in the morning to the chat room, noagintestream.com.
	Wow, record numbers today.
	Big, John.
	Really big numbers.
	How does that sound, by the way?
	That sounded pretty cool.
	Yeah, it had a whole...
	Yeah, because, you know, we're doing everything together.
	It sounded very Morning Zoo-ish.
	Very good.
	Very, very, very pleased with that.
	That's our goal.
	Very pleased.
	In the morning to our artists, I want to thank Glow in the Dark Dog, who brought us the album artwork for Episode 8, Niner 6.
	That, of course, was the wall of meat, and the artwork that we had for that was just perfect for Obama's departure.
	That's all, folks.
	Looney Tunes.
	Perfect picture of him.
	Very well done.
	Noagendaartgenerated.com is where you can upload all of your artwork.
	We pick one after the show.
	We use them in the newsletter.
	We use them to tweet out.
	It's a big part of our show.
	As far as I know, there's maybe only one or two other podcasts that have original artwork every single episode, and we're very proud of that.
	So thank you again.
	Indeed.
	Alright, so let's thank a few people.
	We have a couple of big donors today.
	Sir Dwayne Melanson, Archduke of the Pacific Northwest, came in with 897, which is today's show.
	So he's a show member of the 897 Club.
	Haven't had one of those in a while.
	ITM gents from the Archduke of the Pacific Northwest off the grid a bit But just listen to the last show.
	Wow!
	Adam's clips were killer!
	Woo!
	Huh.
	Kara and a Plato Says, please.
	And by the way, just realize that this is my 60-second donation.
	Wow.
	Do you have a Plato Says?
	Plato Say?
	For him, it should be Plato Say, isn't it?
	Not Plato Says.
	Plato Say.
	Oh, you know, I probably can find one.
	If you want to get...
	He said, look, he's the...
	I know.
	We have to do what he says.
	Yeah.
	Hello?
	You forgetting your place?
	Subject?
	I'm just looking for the lists of the Plato says.
	I'll do a karma, and that'll give you time to look for it.
	You've got karma.
	Okay, I'll tell you what.
	Archduke.
	I'll do, as we end the show, I'll do a Plato Says.
	Oh, very nice.
	At the end, like I used to do before I stopped doing them.
	Oh, wow.
	That's a nice one.
	Okay?
	Yeah, good.
	All right.
	Next, Sir John Donovan, the Baron of Silicon Valley, 666.33.
	And he has an email that he sent, which I have here somewhere.
	Boom.
	Got it?
	He sent two.
	I gotta figure out which is the one that we want.
	Okay.
	From the Baron of Silicon Valley for today's show, if possible, we missed the deadline by just a couple minutes.
	PayPal contribution to 666.33 to the best podcast in the universe.
	First one promo.
	Let's try to get JCD out for a cyber no agenda meetup.
	During the RSA Security Conference in San Francisco.
	Maybe late afternoon on Monday, February the 13th, between No Agenda and the DHM Plug Days.
	Why 666.33?
	This is your 888 lucky No Agenda coins, quarters, matching contribution for those producers that did 222 in the time period that last year.
	So the 222 plus the 866 is the 888.
	Got it, got it, got it.
	I also dubbed this the 666 plus 33 number of the beast.
	Yeah.
	The number of the beast contribution for anyone wishing to honor our new president by supporting the best podcast in the universe at this moment.
	For jingles, please play the dealer's choice.
	I have a cyber...
	A cyber jobs karma for all of those that need it for this year.
	So he's pushing it out there.
	Cyber jobs.
	They're in a Psycon Valley.
	Oh.
	Oh, okay.
	So he does need a jobs karma then.
	For the others.
	For everyone but him.
	Please don't eat Donald Trump.
	If you're white, you're a racist.
	If you're male, you're a pig.
	If you're cis, you are privileged.
	Skinny, show me if you're big.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	That's a great clip, by the way.
	I love that.
	Did you hear the kid?
	Our new, uh, Please Don't Eat Me Donald Trump?
	That's, uh...
	That's his name.
	Let me see, who is that?
	That's Felix.
	Felix Wilson.
	Please don't eat me, Donald Trump.
	Child abuse on the show.
	Great.
	Love it.
	Yeah, that's a good one.
	Okay.
	Let's get back to the spreadsheet.
	And here's Chris Wilson.
	This is Felix's dad, who just recorded that for us.
	Right.
	Chris Wilson, 339.79.
	He's in Australia.
	They're in Australia.
	Mm-hmm.
	Huh.
	Two Aussie boob drunk donations.
	Of $6406 and $6081 being the then exchange rate at $80.08 Australian dollars LE light edition.
	Now with only 70% of the purchasing power of a regular dollar at twice the base interest rate.
	I'm telling you, when Tina and I go to Australia and New Zealand, we may just stay there.
	We live like kings.
	We can live like kings.
	Yeah.
	I'll have to try to do this.
	In my inebriated state, I sent you the money in AUD, not USD. So I only did I shortchange you, but the money ended up in limbo for the last three months before eventually returning to my PayPal account, which was subsequently spent as I had no idea about the refund.
	Douchebag!
	No de-douching for me.
	I discovered this accounting anomaly when I was working Out how close to knighthood I was as I figured the tits donation of 7175 would take me over the halfway mark.
	And I'd also like to call out Visa as a bunch of douchebags.
	Douchebag!
	I have over a thousand Aussie locked up for over a month in pending refunds, pre-authorizations, and who the fuck knows time code, which is...
	Finally arriving back in my LinkedIn account.
	Whatever he's drinking saves some from me, Chris.
	We're on our way.
	Thank you so much, my friend.
	Thank you.
	Appreciate it.
	You've got karma.
	Shane Kirk, parts unknown USA, 333.33, Sir DevOps, name Ben.
	As opposed to Shane, Sir DevOps.
	I was surprised to wake up after the day after Trump's inauguration to find that the world had not ended as the fake news would have led me to believe it would.
	I knew I had to donate immediately just in case before it all comes undone and global warming or Putin kills us all.
	Thanks, you, for providing the best legacy media deconstruction and comedic antics in the universe.
	Oh, thank you.
	I would like to request that a beam of house buying karma be blasted toward my general direction on Durham, North Carolina, where the housing market has gone insane.
	And I would appreciate some job karma for my smoking hot wife.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Thank you for your courage and your support of the work.
	That's one mother I'd like to.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yay!
	You've got karma.
	Sir Thomas Duke Nussbaum in Virginia somewhere.
	It's Virginia something.
	It's Virginia Beach, I think.
	33333 and he wants a bag of threes.
	He wants ants, where's my pants, and a Fletcher shout out, please.
	I don't think we have ants in where's my pants.
	pants i think we just have a regular one you've got karma I love it when our Duke show up with their own sound imaging.
	He had some ants in the pants thing.
	Mark Lopak...
	He actually has a pronunciation in his little note here.
	And it's...
	Where is it?
	Lop...
	It's L-O-P-I-C-Y, so it's Lop-I-C-O-L-A. Lop-I-C-O-L-A. Anyway.
	He's the small wandering knight.
	$240.24, which takes him to knighthood.
	Oh, beautiful.
	And he's listed.
	He has a note?
	Yeah, it's a great...
	HHH honor, a great honor.
	Honor.
	I think he's referring to the family guy.
	An achievement for me to reach knighthood.
	I started out using the 1212, excuse me, subscription 2012.
	After PayPal canceled that, Why?
	I started donating in large, less frequent chunks, including with today's triple boob.
	Love those boobs.
	Donation at 240.24.
	I would like to claim the name Sir Mark the Small, Sir Mark the Small, Wandering Knight.
	Formerly the Wandering Surf.
	I'm still convinced you guys saved my health by changing my thought process, probably using neurolinguistic boom shakalaka.
	I'm better for it.
	January 28th.
	Oh, here we go.
	Get your pencil out.
	Sorry, I didn't send this to Eric.
	Oh, this is not on this thing.
	Okay, let me get the pencil.
	January 28th is my 52nd birthday.
	Yay for me and put me on the list.
	Okay.
	And as his night name, I guess?
	Yeah.
	Okay, small wandering night.
	Now that I'm a wandering knight, I plan on selling my castle.
	Insert white people rich song.
	I'm sorry, when is his birthday?
	When is his birthday again?
	January 28th.
	Uh-huh.
	And how old will he be?
	52.
	52.
	Okay.
	Got it.
	Actually, it's more like a 1,000 square foot watchtower.
	I go live in the American dream out of a van in self-imposed exile.
	That's what he's going to do.
	Good.
	That's what Adam's going to do shortly.
	Outstanding.
	Jingle requests.
	Okay, here we go.
	Can you see the juice?
	It's not unusual.
	Can you see the juice?
	That juice.
	Get on my vagina.
	The fiscal cliff scream.
	We should have this as a single because people keep requesting the same three.
	And karma.
	I would ask for a labia and lasagna to offset the boobs to be served at the table.
	I know it's lewd, but I'm going there.
	So it's labia and lasagna?
	Yeah, or labia.
	I like to say labia.
	I don't know why.
	Well, say whatever you want.
	This is going to cost us listeners.
	Maybe not.
	You think so?
	Putting it on the list for him?
	I don't know.
	If a woman asks for it, but I don't know.
	Doesn't matter.
	You can say no.
	No, it's on the list.
	Oh my gosh!
	Can you see that juice?
	Get out of my vagina!
	You've got karma.
	Well, I, yeah.
	He says it's lewd.
	He knows.
	Okay.
	Vladimir Landman, somewhere in the USA, 23456.
	Great as always, Sir Bernie Adama, turn me on to your show.
	We haven't heard from him for a while.
	No.
	It took me a bit over a year to make my knighthood.
	I would like to request the name Sir Vlad of the Midlands.
	No agenda has opened up my eyes to things going on in the world that the media just won't talk about.
	For a jingle request, please play Elle Sharpton, Resist We Much...
	And if possible, play the No Agenda anthem at the end of the show.
	Yeah.
	I got a night.
	Okay.
	I have a lot of stuff for the end of the show.
	Okay.
	Hey, he's a knight.
	He gets what he needs.
	Finally, please send me some health karma to serve Bernie and myself.
	Okay, and he's attached to counting.
	All right, health karma for you, sir.
	You've got karma.
	We must and we will much about that be committed.
	Thanks, Al.
	Thomas Nussbaum again.
	Sir Thomas Duke Nussbaum.
	What?
	In Virginia.
	No.
	Yeah, for 222.22.
	He felt like getting a couple mentions here.
	Uh-huh.
	So he's an executive producer and associate executive producer, which is actually, I've never seen that kind of thing ever in Hollywood.
	No.
	Which is new, you know.
	And he says, bags of shoes, where's my, bag of twos, where's my shoes?
	And he wants that in a demon voice.
	And this is P.S. Drinking.
	Oh, he's drinking.
	That's what happened.
	Bags of twos.
	Where's my shoes, Nussbaum?
	You've got karma.
	I thought that was pretty good.
	That was.
	I was impressed.
	He caught me.
	I didn't expect it to show up so well.
	Marvin Bertain in Bellevue, Nebraska.
	Two hundred.
	Greetings from Nebraska.
	This is the husband of Dame Yano, and she's still lording her night ring over me.
	First of all, thanks for the great shows through the election and after.
	I'd like to thank you both for watching things so I don't have to.
	Adam, in particular, has shown remarkable resistance to the brain-deadening emanations from The View.
	I would like it.
	He wears some sort of special glasses.
	I would like a gentle douchebag call to my co-worker Ed Posh.
	Douchebag!
	He's been listening for a few months, so this is just an encouragement for him to keep listening and eventually donate.
	I would request the following clips.
	Dvorak.org slash N-A. That's a good one.
	No, no, no.
	He's asking for, gonna donate enough to be a knight someday.
	Oh my goodness, what was that again?
	It was from Master of the House.
	Oh, okay.
	I don't know if I can find that one that easily.
	Okay, what else does he want?
	John going, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And stop laughing, shut up.
	And then a health karma for Dame, yeah, no.
	Let me see, what the hell would that have been?
	I wasn't prepared to do this.
	I think it was Master of the House.
	That was the...
	Yeah, that sounds right.
	Yeah, right.
	Master of the House.
	Yeah, but I... Let's see...
	Yeah, that's the original, but where was the, uh, donate to be united someday?
	Hmm.
	I don't know.
	I'm going to have to look for it.
	Maybe I'll have it by the end of the show.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Why you all have to shut up?
	You've got karma.
	All right, two more.
	It's good for you.
	Well, we're also going to go way over today.
	Sorry to say it, but it's going to be a long show.
	It's always a long show.
	Tim Lang in San Francisco, California, $200.
	Quick note, he says, can I get a Dvorak Adele hello?
	Okay.
	You already have that recorded, I think.
	I'm pretty sure I have it somewhere, yeah.
	Love that bit.
	John channeling Laurie Anderson.
	Yeah, you are a bit like Laurie Anderson.
	I met her.
	She was at the house for a party once.
	She came with Steve Beck.
	He was dating years ago.
	I see an artistic opportunity opening up for him in case the show folds.
	Thanks.
	All the best, Tim.
	A happy Dane in the rainy San Francisco.
	Oh.
	Okay.
	We can do that for you.
	Yes.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	It's me.
	It's me.
	And here I sit on the stoop.
	You've got karma.
	That's right.
	Now do this.
	Oh, Superman.
	Oh, John.
	That's Laurie Anderson.
	Oh, I don't remember.
	I know she was avant-garde.
	John W. Cuss.
	Hey, you want to play something funny?
	Play while you're playing that sort of thing.
	I want to get this back into the rotation.
	Oh, what?
	John Lennon's ex-wife, Yoko, singing that screech in that thing.
	You mean her response to Trump?
	Yeah.
	Oh, really?
	You want it back?
	back.
	I thought that you were kind of done with it.
	Ah!
	Oh!
	Hello?
	Hello Hello Hello God God.
	God.
	God is right.
	Sounds like a mosquito at the beginning.
	You want to slap something.
	It's bad.
	It's very bad.
	All right.
	I think you're the one that was done with it.
	You got sick of it.
	Yeah.
	Finally, John Cuss, W. Cuss, in Johnson City, Tennessee, $200.
	And he sent a note in.
	He sent a check as a note.
	I have enjoyed no agenda for years without supporting you guys.
	Let me read that again.
	I have enjoyed no agenda for years without supporting you guys.
	I listen to mainstream media and keep asking myself, did that guy really say that?
	I came to realize that I need to keep you guys in business.
	Please do.
	Give him a karma.
	Is that all he needs?
	That's easy.
	Of course.
	Oh, hello.
	Why is it not?
	Hello.
	Hello, karma.
	Hello.
	Oh, there we go.
	You've got karma.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	There we go.
	So that concludes our little group of associate and executive producers for show 897.
	We've got three shows to go before show 900.
	And we have a palindrome, 898, for Thursday's show.
	Yeah, palindrome.
	Palindrome's always good.
	898.
	Cannot tell you how happy I am that you continue to support the program and our value for value model.
	Of course, it works in many ways, but these are the executive producers and associate executive producers, just like Hollywood.
	Real credits, you can use them, you can flaunt them, put on your business card, put on your LinkedIn.
	It does appear to work.
	But above all, know that you are a part of media for the future.
	This is the way it's going to work.
	At least in our humble opinion.
	Everyone else seems to be going down.
	We're kind of stable.
	In our vow of poverty, that is.
	Yeah, well, yeah.
	Could be worse.
	Get a good product, but you do have to support it.
	That's right.
	Remember us, of course, for the upcoming show at...
	And be out there.
	This is what you need to do.
	You need to propagate the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order!
	Order!
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up, slave!
	Looking through for the Plato quote for the end of the show, I did run into an old email from someone.
	I don't think we've read it.
	I want to just get it out of the way because it's...
	It's calling out a douchebag.
	This is Jacob Turley, who sent us some money in October.
	But he wanted to call out Bagman as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	I want to get that out of the way.
	Consider it done, my friend.
	Consider it done.
	Let me see.
	I mean, I've been holding on to these hearing clips.
	Is that a little overload now, or should I just run through these?
	Well, I got a funnier one.
	Because I have one.
	You're pre-qualifying your clips as funnier than mine, even though you don't know what I'm going to play?
	I've listened to the hearings.
	They're only funny in a very ironic way.
	They're kind of disgusting.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Hello?
	Hello?
	But this is more straight-up humor.
	Okay.
	Because I haven't been watching Democracy Now, and I know that they hate Trump.
	Mm-hmm.
	But they can't find really too much.
	They already were so pro-Bernie that they still irked about that mishap.
	So now they're dreaming up stuff.
	I guess it's supposed to be scandalous.
	It's like, oh my God, what did he do now?
	And in this case, according to Amy, and we'll play the whole clip of Trump doing this, Well, play clip one of this thing, and she gives you the premise.
	I just don't know which one you want.
	Oh, okay.
	Intro, that's the one?
	Yes, intro.
	Sorry.
	Also on Thursday night, Donald Trump spoke at a pre-inauguration donor dinner where he called his campaign manager Kellyanne Conway up to the stage and called her baby in My Kellyanne.
	Oh, okay.
	All right.
	Wow, that's so wrong.
	Oh, it's so wrong.
	And now let's listen to what actually happened so we can hear it in context.
	Hold on a second.
	Tell me that you wouldn't do the same thing.
	I have a problem here.
	Hold on.
	Something's going wrong.
	What's going wrong?
	Now my trackpad just went screwy.
	Okay.
	Sorry.
	Number two.
	I see my Kellyanne.
	Oh, Kellyanne.
	Come here.
	Come here.
	Come here, Kellyanne.
	Get up here.
	Come here, Kellyanne.
	She's been so great.
	Wow.
	So.
	So...
	There is no den she will not go into.
	When my men are petrified to go on a certain network, I say, Kellyanne, would you do it?
	Absolutely, no problem.
	Then she gets on and she just destroys them.
	So anyway, thank you, baby.
	Thank you.
	Donald Trump.
	Okay, so that's an outrage.
	It's an outrage.
	For one thing, he showed possession by calling her my Kellyanne.
	And then when he sent her back, he says, thanks, baby.
	Thanks, baby.
	Yeah, that's horrible.
	What kind of misogynist pig are we dealing with?
	It's unprecedented, I tell you.
	It's crazy.
	And don't you dare talk to your wife like that.
	No, no, no.
	God forbid.
	Don't call your kid Pumpkin either.
	Alrighty.
	These hearings were funny in, as you pointed out, an ironic way.
	And it was really an opportunity for a lot of these senators to be incredible douchebags.
	Just to be a-holes.
	And top of my list was Elizabeth Warren.
	He was talking to DeVos.
	What's her right name?
	Sorry?
	Pocahontas.
	I'm sorry.
	Pocahontas.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Was talking to DeVos.
	I think is her name.
	And she would be the education secretary.
	And she is a multi-billionaire.
	You know, she comes from a very wealthy family, big supporters of the Republican Party.
	She certainly is true.
	She does not have a lot of experience, if any experience, with the schooling system.
	But there's some things that Elizabeth Warren says which really go way too far.
	It's just crazy.
	But her whole point is to embarrass this woman.
	I don't know why she's been chosen.
	I don't know if she has qualifications.
	I presume the idea is to get rid of the Department of Education, which a lot of people don't know.
	That only started in, what, 1980?
	It's pretty new.
	Yeah.
	We didn't have it before then.
	It seems like since we've had the Department of Education, education has become unaffordable and shit.
	Time goes.
	So, you know, maybe she's just to be there to shut it down, but Elizabeth Warren had to just be a dick about it.
	I'd like to ask you about your qualifications for leading the nation on higher education.
	The Department of Education is in charge of making sure that the $150 billion that we invest in students each year gets into the right hands, and that students have the support they need to be able to pay back their student loans.
	The Secretary of Education is essentially responsible for managing a trillion-dollar student loan bank and distributing $30 billion in Pell grants to students each year.
	The financial futures of an entire generation of young people depend on your department getting that right.
	Now, Mrs.
	DeVos, do you have any direct experience in running a bank?
	Senator, I do not.
	Uh-huh.
	Have you ever managed or overseen a trillion-dollar loan program?
	I have not.
	How about a billion-dollar loan program?
	I have not.
	Okay.
	So no experience managing a program like this.
	How about participating in one?
	I think it's important for the person who is in charge of our financial aid programs to understand what it's like for students and their families who are struggling to pay for college.
	Mrs.
	DeVos, have you ever taken out a student loan from the federal government to help pay for college?
	I have not.
	Have any of your children had to borrow money in order to go to college?
	They have been fortunate not to.
	Have you had any personal experience with the Pell Grant?
	Not personal experience, but certainly friends and students with whom I've worked.
	So you have no personal experience with college financial aid or management of higher education?
	So, of course, what she's trying to point out is, you know, you're rich, your kids are rich, you don't know what you're talking about.
	But she keeps asking, do you have any experience with running a bank?
	Do you know anything about running a bank?
	Now let's look at the Secretary of Education who was just leaving, John B. King Jr.
	Well, the guy before him is even worse.
	None of these guys have experience with banks.
	None of them.
	None of them.
	So it's an unfair line of questioning.
	Well, the most unfair line, which I have the clip of, is Bernie Sanders going after this one.
	I have this clip too, but okay, we'll play your version.
	That's fine.
	I have heard the number was 200 million.
	Does that sound in the ballpark?
	Let me play my clip.
	Mine's better.
	It has a setup.
	I don't know.
	You shouldn't take that stuff off.
	I like the setup.
	It was funny.
	Yeah, you got some hang-up with these setups.
	I noticed this.
	You did it earlier today.
	You know why?
	Because there's a lot of people who are just coming in and they need reiteration just to understand.
	Well, here's the word.
	My thinking is the following.
	I'm trying to keep these clips short because they've been going too long.
	Both of us.
	Mm-hmm.
	The clip should be 10 seconds.
	Okay.
	Mrs.
	DeVos, there is a growing fear, I think, in this country that we are moving toward what some would call an oligarchic form of society where a small number of very, very wealthy billionaires control to a significant degree our economic and political life.
	Would you be so kind as to tell us how much money your family has contributed to the Republican Party over the years?
	Senator, first of all, thank you for that question.
	I'm, again, pleased to meet you.
	Why is she thanking him?
	That's just form.
	...this last week.
	I wish I could give you that number.
	I don't know.
	I have heard the number was 200 million.
	Does that sound in the ballpark?
	Collectively?
	Between my entire family?
	That's possible.
	My question is, and I don't mean to be rude, but do you think if you were not a multi-billionaire, if your family has not made hundreds of millions of dollars of contributions, the Republican Party that you would be sitting here today?
	Senator, as a matter of fact, I do think that there would be that possibility.
	I've worked very hard on behalf of parents and children for the last almost 30 years to be a voice for students and to empower parents to make decisions on behalf of their children, primarily low-income children.
	Thank you.
	He's just trying to shame her.
	You're rich.
	I mean, no one ever talks about Buffett or Gates or any of these rich guys.
	And then the final one I have is, I think, was the funniest, because here you have the guy who has the career in comedy, who is always out to put people down.
	He's very, very good at it.
	He's always trying to put you down.
	I'm talking about Al Franken.
	Governor!
	Yeah, I had this clip.
	This is a good clip.
	Yeah, and this is with Rick Perry.
	I have a clip of Frankie with that same woman.
	Oh, let's do that one first, and then I'll do Rick Perry.
	Let me see.
	Frankie.
	Okay.
	All right.
	I didn't get that one.
	I'm talking about the debate between proficiency and growth.
	Yes.
	What your thoughts are on them.
	Well, I was just asking to clarify then...
	Well, this is a subject that has been debated in the education community for years.
	And I've advocated growth as the chairman and every member of this committee knows.
	Because with proficiency, teachers...
	Ignore the kids at the top, who are not going to fall below proficiency, and ignore the kid at the bottom, who no matter what they do will never get to proficiency.
	So I've been an advocate of growth.
	But it surprises me that you don't know this issue.
	Oh, yes.
	Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame on you.
	So, of course, Franken was ready to really give it to...
	Oh, by the way, before we go on, should I maybe explain what proficiency growth debate is?
	Please do.
	And it's bullcrap, by the way.
	If you look up, you try to find anything on it.
	I don't know.
	Maybe everyone's arguing about it somewhere in the testing mode.
	I have no idea.
	But it just refers to you can test for proficiency, which is what all the testing has been doing.
	Or you can...
	Test for growth, meaning growth toward proficiency.
	In other words, how much have you moved along?
	How much have you improved?
	So you get tested on how much you improve, not how much you know or you can do.
	It's like the Montessori system.
	I don't know anything about the Montessori system.
	Oh, the Montessori schools?
	It's all about your personal progress.
	Don't worry about the world.
	Yeah, well that's what proficiency, that's what growth is in this debate.
	I'm stunned you don't know about this!
	How can you believe?
	I'm crazy!
	Franken's ready to pull Rick Perry apart, and he's very rude.
	Right off the bat, tries to put Perry on his back foot, and Perry just had none of it.
	I thought this was Rick Perry, who I've met on the airplane, remember South Blue?
	He's goofy.
	He's a goofy guy.
	But this was funny.
	Governor, thank you so much for coming into my office.
	Did you enjoy meeting me?
	See, that's an asshole question.
	Did you enjoy meeting me?
	That is it.
	You're right.
	That's a total a-hole question.
	He's trying to start off by just putting him on the wrong foot there.
	Governor, thank you so much for coming into my office.
	Did you enjoy meeting me?
	I hope you were as much fun on that dais as you were on your couch.
	Well...
	May I rephrase that, sir?
	Please.
	Oh, my Lord.
	Oh, my Lord.
	Well, I think we found our Saturday Night Live soundbite.
	Whoa, you got butt slammed!
	That was good.
	Yeah, I'll give you Borderline.
	I didn't hear that.
	I missed it.
	I'll take it.
	Very funny.
	And that's pretty much all that was worth playing.
	But I thought it was funny.
	And I guess they've confirmed...
	Who have they confirmed?
	Mattis they've confirmed?
	Yeah, Mattis got confirmed.
	That was a no-brainer.
	They're not going to not confirm him.
	Right, right.
	Well, we'll see what happens.
	All right.
	I was going to say, I had something happen to me yesterday, which is worth mentioning.
	It's not big enough for a tech news segment, but it is about technology, the unintended consequences of technology, as you know.
	I'm always on that.
	And here's what happened.
	You know that I had an incredible credit rating problem when I was going to go and get the Airstream of Consciousness because I've always had debit cards and I don't care and I've been out of the country and never built up credit.
	As you can recall, I think I took about six months and I got credit repair companies and all kinds of people working on it and so finally got my credit and I was up, I'll tell you, I was up like 750 or something.
	I was like, whoa, look at me.
	And I get an alert.
	Beep, beep, beep, beep.
	Ah!
	Your credit score's been affected!
	Burp, burp, burp, burp.
	Oh, jeez.
	Okay, go take a look.
	And I'm alarmed because it says, and now I'm at 670.
	I've gone down.
	90 points or so.
	What'd you do, stiff somebody?
	No.
	And this is like a fair rating.
	This is not good.
	I'm like, what's happening?
	And on the report it said, ah, Well, you opened up a new account with Comedity Bank Pier 1.
	And when you do that, initially, your credit rating goes down.
	It's right there on the report.
	But as you use that account, and as you pay that in time, your credit rating will go back up.
	What?
	Oh, yeah.
	It says it in the report.
	From Equifax.
	It's Equifax, specifically.
	This is a scam bar excellence that people put up with.
	But this was an unintended...
	A consequence of technology.
	So, first of all, I'm like, oh, crap.
	Someone's opened an account in my name.
	This is going to be a problem.
	I do not want to have to go through this.
	So, I look around, and of course, the number one recommendation is call the people who run the credit system, this peer one, which is a store, you know, and tell them.
	So, I call up.
	And they answered, oh, here's what's going on.
	I did not open a new account, yet here you are.
	She said, oh, hold on a second.
	And she said, okay, what's the address?
	And I gave her the address.
	And they said, do you want to add a phone number to that account?
	I said, no, did you not hear what I said?
	I said, I didn't open the account.
	What are you talking about?
	I want this closed because someone is doing this.
	She said, well, Mr.
	Curry, here's what happened.
	You actually opened an account in 2011.
	At a different address in Austin.
	I'm like, oh, okay.
	Yeah, it might have, you know, maybe a Christmas, went into Pier 1, weak moment.
	Yeah, I'll take your 10% discount, sign up for the stupid card.
	Oh, I never do that.
	But again, this is six years ago.
	I don't have this card.
	I don't know what happened to it.
	I'm not, you know, nothing.
	Here's what happened.
	Chase Bank used to do all of the credit for Pier 1.
	They sold that business to Comenity Bank, who then said, oh, we have all these new accounts.
	Boom, it shows up as a brand new account opened on January 11th, and your credit gets screwed.
	What's the name of this bank?
	Comenity.
	C-O-M-E-N-I-T-Y. Comenity.
	What a crazy name for a bank.
	Yeah.
	So in other words, they sold this thing up next to it, and so as they're processing the...
	Their new accounts.
	As they're absorbing the other bank's accounts, it crops up as a new account.
	A new opening.
	Yeah, and it screws my...
	I'm sure lots of people had this.
	Yeah, I guess.
	This is bullcrap.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's unintended, and I don't think people realize it.
	I saw it.
	I see what happened.
	It's just one of those things.
	It's like, wow, this is not good.
	It's only going to get worse.
	Wow.
	Yeah, I know.
	That's a worthwhile story.
	Interesting draft legislation in the European Union Parliament.
	Which I think they're going to be voting on.
	I've seen the draft.
	I have the draft in the show notes at 897.noagendanotes.com.
	This is regarding artificial intelligence, robotics, and smart technology in general for the future in the European Union.
	And finally for us, it's like a scene out of a sci-fi thriller.
	Members of the European Parliament will soon cast their votes on whether to legally grant robots electronic persons status.
	According to the EU draft report, the idea behind this is actually to ultimately protect humans from more sophisticated future bots.
	RT's Peter Oliver has this one for us.
	A European Union Parliamentary Committee has set forward a report that's been approved that could see robots gain legal rights or certainly legal status within the European Union as electronic persons.
	It seems that some EU lawmakers may have been paying a lot of attention to last year's HBO smash Westworld.
	But this is for real.
	The report outlines rules on how robots would interact with human beings.
	It was put forward by the Luxembourg MEP, Maddy de Valais.
	Now, she came up with some brilliant quotes.
	I'll give you just a few, but she's very keen on this.
	She says that it would be the threshold of a new era that we stand upon, and that mankind was set to unleash a new industrial revolution.
	Well, for those of you who are a little worried about the potential for artificial intelligence to go too far, and maybe seen far too many of the Terminator movies, to stop things going Skynet, all robots and artificial intelligence would have to be equipped with what's called a kill switch to stop any rogue robots all robots and artificial intelligence would have to be equipped with what's called a kill Also, the definition is...
	And categorisation of artificial intelligence would have to be enshrined in law.
	Lawmakers saying that this would make it easier for the development of future AIs.
	Also saying that this isn't designed to replace humans in the workplace, but essentially for robots to work alongside human beings in order to take things to the next level, essentially.
	Although there will also be a Charter that all robotic designers will have to sign up to because, and this is the best quote in the whole report, you must never think that a robot is human, that he loves you, or that he is sad.
	I have this report.
	Makes him think that robots are he.
	Thank you very much.
	How incredibly misogynistic is that?
	Totally.
	You want to hear a bit of this code of ethical conduct for robotics engineers?
	And by the way, the robot should be an it.
	agree yes i want to hear this the code of conduct invites all research and designers to act responsibly and with absolute consideration for the need of respect the the dignity privacy and safety of humans the code asks for close cooperation amongst all disciplines in order to ensure that robotics research is undertaken in the european union in a safe ethical effective manner whoa it covers all research and development activities in the field of robotics is voluntary but offers a set of general principles and guidelines and actions to be taken by all stakeholders
	researchers in the field of robotics should commit themselves to the highest ethical and professional conduct and abide by the following principle Here we go.
	Benef...
	Benef...
	Oh, man.
	What is this?
	Benef...
	Benefiance.
	Beneficence.
	Beneficence.
	Yeah.
	Robots should act in the best interests of humans.
	Non-malfeasants, the doctrines of first do no harm, whereby robots should not harm a human.
	Autonomy, the capacity to make an informed, uncoerced decision about the terms of interaction with robots.
	Injustice, fair distribution of the benefits associated with robotics and affordability of home care and health care robots in particular.
	Fundamental rights.
	Robotics researchers' research activity should respect fundamental rights and be conducted in the interest of the well-being of humans and individuals and society in their design, implementation, dissemination, and use.
	Human dignity, both physical and psychological, is always to be respected.
	And then they go into inclusiveness.
	Oh, jeez.
	Robotics engineers guarantee transparency and respect for the legitimate right of access to information by all stakeholders.
	Inclusiveness allows for participation in decision-making processes by all stakeholders involved or concerned by robotics research activities.
	They really want everyone to have their code open, transparency, you have to show what they're doing, you have to monitor.
	It's not going to be a fun field to work in with all these rules.
	No.
	Like everything else, there's going to be expert consultants to be the middleman.
	But what this report, and that was from RT, by the way, missed, is there is a final provision in this report, and it regards licensing.
	You will need a license to be a part of this.
	And here are the terms of the license.
	This is not, this is the bullet points, it's not, it's outlined, it's not the actual terms.
	Wow.
	Yeah, wow is right, John.
	License for users.
	You are permitted to make use of a robot without risk or fear of psychological or physical harm.
	You should have the right to expect a robot to perform any task for which it has been explicitly designed.
	You should be aware that a robot may have perpetual cognitive and actuation limitations.
	You should respect human frailty, both physical and psychological and the emotional needs of humans.
	You should take the privacy rights of individuals into consideration, including the deactivation of video monitors during intimate procedures.
	You are not.
	You should take the privacy rights of individuals into consideration, including.
	What are they going to have a sex robot?
	Is that what we're talking about?
	Including the deactivation of video monitors during intimate procedures, I guess.
	You are not permitted to collect, use, or disclose personal information without the explicit consent of the data subject, that would be a human, and you are not permitted to use a robot in any way that contravenes ethical or legal principles and standards, and you are not permitted to modify any robot to enable it to function as a weapon.
	Oh, what's the good of that, then?
	What's a drone?
	It's a weapon.
	It's a robot.
	Man, this thing is pages and pages and pages.
	Congratulations, European Union.
	There's your future.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	It's bad.
	That was a good find.
	We'll do one more, and then we can do our over $50 donors, I think, that are ready for us.
	Yeah, I got something.
	Hold on.
	Well, of course, everyone saw...
	I don't want to play this, but it's part of the...
	People should go find it, track it down.
	It's the Matt Walsh diatribe.
	I don't know about this.
	Oh, this is a guy who came out of the face bags, I think.
	But it was this guy.
	He's a bearded guy, and he's in his car doing a rant.
	But he's a bearded, big, bulky-looking guy, and you can play a little bit of it, and then people can go track it down, because it's filled with a bunch of...
	It's an ironic bullcrap.
	Oh, I think I saw it.
	I think I know what this is.
	You've seen this thing.
	I am in shock.
	Yeah, I've seen this.
	I am in shock right now.
	I was just at the grocery store buying some vegan hummus.
	That's where I was already out.
	It actually gets better.
	All hummus is vegan hummus.
	From that moment, I'm like, this is bogus.
	I said, yeah, I mean, it's totally bogus, but it's a parody of what we are hearing to a lesser extent.
	He just puts it all together, packages.
	It's funny.
	I am in shock.
	I am in shock right now.
	I was just at the grocery store buying some vegan hummus for my environmentalist club meeting.
	And I'm checking out, and the cashier hands me the receipt and says, Have a good day, sir.
	Have a good day, sir.
	And I stop dead in my tracks and I say, excuse me?
	And I'm literally shaking and I can barely stand and I'm screaming at him, excuse me?
	How do you know that I identify as a man?
	How do you know that I identify as a sir?
	Did you even ask, you privileged white cishet bigot?
	Watch your uterus.
	I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	It's what?
	In the morning.
	Funny thing about that clip is someone posted the video in the face bed, the No Agenda face bag group.
	There were a number of people who actually thought it was real, did not see the irony of it.
	I like the line he has afterward when he calls the guy out and he says he's obviously not college educated.
	Because that's the most ironic line.
	That's the one.
	That's exactly it.
	I hear you.
	Because it's like, you know, if you're college educated, you would know better.
	Lance Forrest, because you've been beaten to death, I guess, or beat down intellectually.
	Lance Forrest, 99999 from Newport, North Carolina.

	Sir Kevin Dills, have we got this right?
	Sir Kevin Dills, the next one?
	No, I have Sean Taylor.
	Oh yeah, Sean Taylor.
	The problem is because Sean Taylor's note...
	Is too long for the Open Libra.
	Open Libra would have had about $66.
	He needs a birthday.
	We got the birthday stuff lined up for him.
	Yeah, we got it all ready for you, man.

	He's been meaning to contribute, so this is my anniversary gift.
	Aw, that's so sweet.
	Very sweet.
	That is sweet.
	Thanks, Erica.

	Another Michiganian.
	Oh, she's in Great Falls, Montana.
	I'm sorry.
	Erica.
	Northern nut job.
	$50 from no place.
	Now, this is a new listener.
	Discovering no agenda was the best part of the 2016 election.
	I came across a delightful bit of media assassination just after the Russians hacked Trump into the White House.
	I bounced around other dark parts of the internet after getting fed up with the not-so-thinly-veiled propaganda offering by the mainstream outlets last year.
	Although I found the show too late to appreciate what you did throughout the elections course, I've since listened to tons of episodes.
	You two blend insight and humor into conversations I could see myself having.
	Please keep examining the lies we're being told.
	I'll continue propagating the formula for my part.
	Thank you very much.
	He needs a de-douching, so we'll give him the de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	Yo, yo, yo.
	Thomas Starkweather in Brooklyn, New York, $50.
	These are $50.
	He also has a call-out job.
	He wants a jobs car.
	We'll put that at the end for him.
	Yeah, I got it.
	Marta Kallstrom in Portland, Oregon.
	Jason Daniels, The Parts Unknown.
	That's it.
	Short, sweet list.
	It's all there is.
	It's all there is.
	There is no more.
	We thank all these people and everyone who came in under $50, usually for reasons of anonymity.
	A couple of them today, actually.
	And, of course, people on subscriptions.
	Please remember us at our donation page, where you can always find different ways to support the program.
	And another show coming up on Thursday, and as promised, a couple of jobs, karmas for everybody who needs it.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	And today we say happy birthday to Sean Taylor, who actually congratulates his daughter Sonia turning one year old.
	We say happy birthday to the small wandering knights.
	January 28th is when he celebrates.
	He'll be 52.
	And finally, DJ Powerboy Darius Soltis will be 43 tomorrow.
	Happy birthday to all your buddies here in the best podcast in the universe!
	It's your birthday, yeah!
	Woo!

	Eric the Shill will gladly hook you up.
	And please tweet out anything when you receive it.
	Tweet it out to us.
	We love retweeting that stuff.
	Yeah, it's nice.
	Mm-hmm.
	So Davos was going on.
	Yes, Davos, Davo, however you want to say.
	Finally, yeah, Davo.
	It's finally over.
	There's just a bunch of speeches, a bunch of...
	These guys seem like wrecks.
	It's been pretty lame this year, didn't it?
	Yeah, very lame.
	I have two clips...
	The one, it just had a little tidbit in it that I thought, I gotta find this, the Carrie speech, because we had all our douchebags over there giving speeches, because this guy, this is the Carrie comment, Just listen to this clip and there's a little tidbit in here that we have to track down.
	And that Trump is posing.
	They have a vision.
	We don't have a vision in Europe.
	Davos is split in the old guard establishment corner.
	Folks like John Kerry warning Trump won't even last two years.
	That's right, the same establishment who said that Donald won't even win the election.
	Right.
	Yeah, that's the clip I had on Sunday.
	You have that?
	Yeah.
	Trump won't last two years?
	Yeah, this is the clip.
	There are a lot of people here...
	Mr.
	Secretary, don't believe that...
	I mean, take a ram, for instance.
	If the United States were to decide suddenly and say, hey, we're not going to pursue this and so forth, I'll bet you, I haven't talked to all of them, but I'll bet you that our friends and allies who negotiated this with us will get together and that Russia, China, Germany, France, and Britain will say, you know what, this is a good deal, we're going to keep it.
	And Iran and the rest, and they will keep it.
	And we'll have made ourselves the odd person out.
	We'll have injured our own credibility in conceivably irreparable way.
	And it will hurt for the endurance of, you know, a year, two years, whatever, while the administration is there.
	But it's unnecessary, because...
	Remember now?
	You remember it now, right?
	Yeah, that's...
	The reporting is a little harsher than what he said.
	Well, the reporting came from RT. But let's listen to this part.
	This I thought was really creepy.
	This is the...
	When they showed this, they talked about this little event they have.
	You know, when you go in these sorts of gatherings, they always have events.
	You can go shooting, go fishing, you can go skiing, you can do all these different things.
	But this one here is a little off the wall.
	And when they showed it, the first guy signing up for this was Richard Branson.
	Did not deter visitors.
	Dining's pricey, too, with a basic three or four course meals costing $130.
	That's before any wine is involved.
	There's a couple of limousine services operating there as well.
	Airport transfer setting you back over $500.
	If you need some fresh air, well, a discounted ski pass comes in at $70 a day.
	Now, if our delegates grew tired of the lavish surroundings, they have the chance to try a more humbling experience called A Day in the Life of a Refugee.
	The hour-long simulation allows people to apparently see what refugees endure when fleeing conflict, although for a lot of people it's in pretty poor taste.
	Dude, what were the visuals on that?
	Did they have anything about it?
	Yeah, they had a bunch of guys lined up.
	Oh my goodness, that's fantastic.
	And they had them on our hands and knees crawling around.
	Did they make them poop in a bucket?
	No, I don't.
	Maybe.
	It was only an hour.
	This experience of being a refugee lasts a whole hour.
	Wow.
	Douchebag Disneyland.
	And Branson, I can see it.
	Well, you know, I went through this experience, you know, where it was like being a refugee.
	It was pretty frightening.
	It's douchebag Disneyland is what it is.
	It's crazy.
	Bunch of a-holes.
	Oh, I like that.
	Douchebag Disneyland.
	Yeah.
	Something we identified on this very program is now starting to come.
	Do you remember we were looking at the Egg Council and their promotion?
	Put an egg on everything!
	That's right, baby.
	That's right.
	In the January issue, food and wine, a huge, huge, it looks like some spaghetti here on the plate, bolognese, with a runny poached egg, and right there, put an egg on it!
	It's happening.
	This is good promotion.
	It's like Cale got the same treatment.
	Deal with it.
	I like that ISO, John.
	That's great.
	Deal with it.
	The kale we've tracked down to a public relations firm in the UK where they can grow kale nicely because it's miserable.
	And they made kale the staple amongst these foodies, not these foodies, but these I'd say left wing vegetarian types.
	Adamant types.
	It's outrageous.
	It's one of the worst Vegetables, it's depression food again.
	It's hearty, that's true, but it's crap.
	It's not good.
	The only way you make it taste good is you have to deep fat fry it with bacon.
	I'm starting to slowly go through the CIA files and picking stuff up.
	What did you search for?
	Actually, I just started to browse and just bop around.
	I searched for one thing.
	What was that?
	Because I figured you'd search for it, but then I thought about it.
	Wait, you mean pipelines?
	I'll bet she's going to forget to search for this.
	No, I searched for pipelines.
	Yeah.
	Flying saucers.
	Oh, man.
	Did you get any hits?
	Are you kidding me?
	There's thousands of hits.
	There's like 2,000 full pages, each with about five or six items on it.
	I found the following.
	There's a couple of things I'm parsing through this, but this is from 1983, internal secret document inside the CIA, which now has been declassified.
	I'll read it to you.
	Syria, 1983, John.
	Syria continues to maintain a hammerlock on two key U.S. interests in the Middle East, colon.
	Syrian refusal to withdraw its troops from Lebanon ensures Israeli occupation in the south, and Syrian closure of the Iraqi pipeline has been a key factor in bringing Iraq to its financial knees, impelling it towards dangerous internationalization of the war in the Gulf.
	Diplomatic initiatives to date have had little effect on Assad, who has so far correctly calculated the play of forces in the area and concluded that they are only weakly arrayed against him.
	If the U.S. is to rein in Syria's spoiling role, and remember, it's about the Iraqi pipeline, it can only do so through exertion of real muscle, which will pose a vital threat to Assad's position and power.
	Who was, uh, was that Reagan?
	Must have been Reagan 83, right?
	Yeah.
	So we've just been after that guy for a long time.
	That's his dad, right?
	I guess that was the older Assad?
	Yeah, the guy.
	And that guy was an a-hole.
	That guy was a total douche.
	But still, if you see here, it's about resources.
	No mention of...
	It was not about resources.
	It's about moving resources.
	Yeah, moving.
	Transport.
	It's about transport.
	Yes, transport.
	And so he said, what a treasure trove of stuff.
	Oh, yeah.
	It looks like a lot of stuff.
	But I'm stuck with these flying saucer animals.
	I'm sorry about that.
	We'll have to work.
	Send it to me.
	I'll take over for you.
	Yeah.
	You want to close it off?
	Because a 10-minute warning, I should have played it, but we're good to go here, man.
	Well, I still have to do the Samantha Power thing.
	Yeah, let's wrap it up.
	No, we can do that.
	I want to wrap it up now, because she'll be gone.
	We won't hear from her after this.
	Yeah, okay, so this is Samantha Power.
	Ambassador to the United Nations for the United States.
	Yeah, I broke this into three pieces just to bitch about what she's saying, because what she's doing is she's reiterating the bullcrap memes that That we're stuck with and we can't get rid of, even though we've disproven these memes that they're nonsense, but the system of news that's out there, they take and use these.
	I don't know even why they do it, but they do it just to put yourself in a position, kind of, I guess...
	A strategy where you're above it all or you know best or something.
	But here's Samantha Parr.
	She's being interviewed by Judy Woodruff.
	You used as one of your examples of Russian aggression the fact that they stood by as Syria repeatedly used, the Syrian regime repeatedly used chemical weapons in the Civil War.
	Bullcrap!
	Yeah, that's irksome.
	Well, the other thing is, is the little, is that the end of that clip?
	Yeah, that's the end of that one.
	Okay, the thing that's interesting about the clip, to me, was besides the bullcrap about the chemical weapons, was Samantha Power says Russia is showing their aggression by standing by and doing nothing.
	Let's hear it again.
	You used as one of your examples of Russian aggression the fact that they stood by as Syria repeatedly used, the Syrian regime repeatedly used chemical weapons in the Civil War.
	Yeah, that's a good point.
	Nice reporting, Judy.
	So, aggression is standing by and doing nothing somehow.
	Yeah.
	And that's what Samantha Power claims.
	So, Russian aggression is Russia doing nothing.
	Standing there with its thumb up its ass.
	That's aggression somehow.
	That's what she said, right?
	Yeah, I heard it, right?
	Right, right, right, right.
	I heard it, right.
	Okay, onward.
	Number two?
	Yeah, two.
	In the Civil War.
	If that's the case, then how does that square with the decision by the Obama administration in 2013 not to have a military response, the red line, when President Obama was seriously considering doing so and then didn't?
	Mm-hmm.
	Well, the regime, when chemical weapons were used in 2013...
	Before she gives her answer, I just want to...
	I just have to roll this back for a second.
	The correct answer is, President Obama had samples of the chemical weapons sent to a laboratory in the UK because he was ready to...
	People were gearing up.
	Everyone was fueling.
	Planes were fueling.
	Boats were getting ready.
	And it came back, yeah, no, this is not anything like the Syrians have in their arsenal, so it can't be from that.
	No press conference about it, but that's why the red line did.
	And I give President Obama a lot of credit for that.
	Well, you have to give a lot of it to Dempsey, too, because Dempsey apparently was really insisting he doesn't bomb.
	Right.
	And I think it's unfortunate for the truth moving forward that there was no admission publicly of, you know, this really isn't Assad.
	No, we just kept on with the bullcrap meme.
	So I'm curious to see how Samantha...
	You can already hear hemming and hawing.
	She knows the truth.
	She knows the answer.
	Oh, yeah.
	President Obama was seriously considering doing so and then didn't.
	Well, the regime, when chemical weapons were used in 2013, Russia was absolutely backing the Syrian regime at that time.
	And we were denouncing, of course, the gassing of more than a thousand innocent civilians.
	And we denounced Russia's support for that regime.
	When President Obama came out and said he was going to use military force...
	That, as you know, was what brought Russia forward to say, hey, wait, maybe not that quite.
	Why don't we try something else?
	Maybe we can work together.
	Maybe we can take advantage of the fact that we can affect the benefactor, the sponsor of this regime, where if you don't use military force, we'll work with you to destroy the chemical weapons program.
	Well, that's one way of twisting it.
	Well, she also says that at the time we didn't do the bomb because Russia was in full support.
	Russians didn't come into the picture until after they did that bomb disposal thing.
	Right.
	Which was Russia's way of...
	So the timelines are wrong.
	But Russia helped Obama with that.
	Yeah.
	No, definitely.
	Definitely.
	Definitely.
	But her timeline's off.
	Excuse me.
	No, her timeline is way off, but she's lying.
	I think she knows she's lying.
	She's lying.
	All right, last one.
	Back to the lying.
	And now, more lying on Z100. The chemical weapons program.
	Now, interestingly, to this day, even though Russia took away the chemical weapons program, declared chemical weapons program by the regime, Russia to this day denies that it was the regime that used chemical weapons.
	And it just shows you again how...
	How loose they are with the truth and how absurd sometimes their arguments can be.
	But I mentioned the sequence specifically because I think there is a misconception as we look back at that moment and the red line, you know, I know people have very strong views about it.
	It was not the case that we had before us a set of targets that would have eliminated the chemical weapons program.
	In fact, we had to stay miles away when we struck from the chemical weapons stores for fear of causing terrible collateral damage to civilians and so forth.
	Bullshit!
	Again, the reason they were going to do the bombing was to give a break to the rebels to move a little faster.
	It wasn't about blowing up the storage places where the chemical weapons are.
	No.
	She leaves office.
	Yeah.
	What is she going to do?
	Do we know what she's going to do?
	Her and Cass, Cass Sunstein?
	Are they going to go work for some Soros outfit?
	No, I think they're opening one of those, a little, a coffee kiosk here in Washington State.
	In the mall.
	In the mall.
	Okay.
	One of those repair your iPhone screen carts.
	That'll do it.
	In the mall.
	Hey, is there a game I need to watch today?
	Is something happening?
	It's a franchise.
	Yeah, you got your game.
	This is the two games that you made your big prediction on.
	So you got the Green Bay game, which is starting right about now.
	And then you have the other game.
	Which, it doesn't matter, it'll be Pittsburgh.
	Which is the Steelers and the Patriots.
	Green Bay, Pittsburgh, in the final, in the Super Bowl, Green Bay takes it.
	That's geopolitical analysis.
	I do not know anything about sports.
	Exactly.
	I do know how the game works.
	I know that.
	Yeah, you hike a ball.
	All right, thank you so much for joining us today.
	I appreciate all the support that we received.

	Once they put that thing back on, everyone went nutty.
