	Soylent Green is people!
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	And Sunday, February 5th, 2017, this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation media assassination, episode 901.
	This is no agenda.
	The distraction of the year is upon us once again, and we're broadcasting live from the darkest corners of the internet here in the...
	Downtown Austin Tejas.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all celebrating Super Bowl L-M-C-D-X-X-V-L, I'm John C. DeVore.
	It's Crack Vaughn and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	I wouldn't say we're all celebrating it, necessarily.
	Northern Silicon Valley we are.
	I'm not talking about you.
	Oh, no.
	No, I'm not celebrating this.
	I will watch.
	I'm excited.
	I'm excited about the game.
	There's also a game.
	Yes.
	I'm excited about the television event of the year.
	That's all I care about.
	And what will Lady Gaga do?
	What will Lady Gaga do?
	Will she turn her podium into a platform for politics?
	Lady Gaga.
	I think we have Lady Gaga practicing right now.
	Ah!
	Sounds good.
	She is ready.
	So maybe we should get our predictions out of the way right off the top.
	That's a real toe tapper.
	It is.
	Yeah, okay.
	Like predictions?
	Sure, predict.
	Okay, well, my prediction, of course, was horribly wrong on the precursor.
	This is because, obviously, I had...
	We've forgotten to turn everything around now that Obama is no longer president.
	So things happen in a different order.
	But we have some interesting things going on here.
	And of course, we look at these types of games only from a geopolitical standpoint, presuming they are all rigged.
	It turns to work out much better with soccer.
	Yeah, soccer is much better to rig, apparently.
	And certainly with our predictions.
	So we have two things here.
	We have...
	The owner of the Patriots is Robert Kraft, and he and the quarterback, Tom Brady, are friends with the president.
	Now, Arthur Blank, owner of the Falcons, he of course...
	Is he the founder of the Home Depot?
	I don't know.
	I believe so.
	He'll be.
	And you gotta think, he's probably not so happy with everything...
	Trump is doing because, you know, Home Depot is pretty much ground zero for illegal immigrants to get work.
	Hang around.
	In the parking lot.
	Yes, the parking lot.
	So, I, you know, that's a tough one.
	You gotta say the Patriots in this case.
	Patriots also, you know, that would be something Trump could use, like, ah, Patriots, we're all Patriots.
	Well, since I believe that these things are rigged by the elites, I would have to go with the Atlanta team, just based on what you just said.
	To screw with Trump.
	Yeah, to screw with Trump, to make Brady and Kraft feel bad, and to kind of pat on the back, you know, the illegal alien hoarding Home Depot guy.
	Right.
	I'm going to agree with you.
	That makes nothing but sense.
	And then from a perspective of someone who's actually a fan of the game, I would say that Typically in these situations, you have a team that is not plagued, but they have a number of major injuries, which is the Patriots.
	They got Gronkowski, their tight end, is not playing.
	Even though they get supposedly just as good, it's not true.
	And the other team, the Atlanta team, seems much healthier.
	And just based on that, you should give them the edge.
	When's the last time Atlanta won a Super Bowl?
	It's been a long time.
	Never.
	It's been a long time.
	See, I'm spot on with my analysis.
	And the Patriots are like, you know, they've won four and they've gotten...
	They've been in it a lot.
	So, I mean, that's a really outstanding team.
	So everyone just assumes because they're so well-coached and they've got the best quarterback in history, maybe, that they should win everything.
	But they don't.
	They've almost lost the last Super Bowl against Seattle.
	Seattle screwed up and gave them the game.
	But I don't think they're that clutch.
	So we'll see.
	Yeah.
	No more football talk.
	You kind of had me at the elites want to, you know, want to screw Trump.
	And you had me there.
	Done.
	Atlanta for the win.
	I just wanted to make it clear that I knew more about it than just that.
	We all know that.
	And we all know I know nothing about it.
	Scouting Thomas's.
	You know I know nothing about it.
	Well, big news Saturday.
	Oh, my.
	I cracked open the web browsers and got all kinds of info coming in about the travel ban being subject to a temporary restraining order.
	And immediately, apparently, I don't know if this actually happened, all the news reports are, the airlines went, ah, come on, ah, it's good, no worries, jump on, we're good.
	Homeland Security went, ah, it's good, come on in.
	At least that's the way it was portrayed, and I put some effort into understanding what happened.
	Oh, good!
	Yeah, backgrounder, backgrounder here.
	This came out...
	All right, I'm all ears on this one.
	All right, backgrounder.
	What could be a stunning blow to President Trump's travel ban?
	A federal judge at this hour...
	Oh, stop, stop.
	Yes.
	Did she say it was a stunning blow?
	Stunning blow.
	Stunning.
	It's kind of like a...
	Buttslam!
	What could be a stunning blow to President Trump's travel ban?
	A federal judge at this hour granting a Washington attorney general's request to immediately halt President Trump's executive order on immigration nationwide.
	Okay, the Attorney General, Bob Ferguson, spoke just moments ago about his request for a temporary block.
	Literally just finished speaking.
	Here's part of what he said.
	Literally.
	The short answer is yes.
	I want to be very clear.
	What the judge announced today was nationwide the president's executive order does not apply.
	What's about to happen at JFK, at LAX, at O'Hare, at Hartsfield?
	I mean, are they about to say no longer?
	This can't be...
	I mean, this now is the law of the land, that they're going to go back to the way things were?
	Careful, Aaron Burnett.
	Law of the land?
	No, it's a temporary restraining order.
	It doesn't mean there's a law of the land.
	Apparently you get a restraining order.
	It's the law of the land.
	It's part of that sickness, which is everything you don't like.
	It's unconstitutional, man.
	What?
	You don't like mayonnaise on your french fries?
	No, man, that's unconstitutional.
	This is part of that.
	It's the law of the land.
	It's code.
	No longer?
	This can't be...
	I mean, this now is the law of the land, that they're going to go back to the way things were right now?
	That's right.
	I like that.
	That's right!
	It's the law of the land!
	No?
	That's right.
	If they follow the ruling of the judge and federal judges...
	What's that?
	He almost said...
	He has the law of the land, you mean?
	The law of the land.
	I know.
	The land.
	That they're going to go back to the way things were right now?
	That's right.
	If they follow the ruling of the judge and federal judges have nationwide jurisdiction on constitutional matters, if this executive order is a legal nullity, as the lawyers say at the moment, it does not apply anywhere in the United States.
	And that's where we are right now until an appeals court steps in.
	All right.
	Well, I did some work for us all, everybody, to understand what was going on.
	I would like to understand, of course, you hear Aaron Burnett there already, and this lawyer almost repeating a temporary restraining order.
	So I have the...
	The opinion here from the judge, which indeed resulted in a temporary restraining order, and he bases it on, I have it here marked up in the show notes, the court finds that the states, and this was a lawsuit primarily from Washington State, or as you would say, Washington State, the court finds the states have satisfied these standards and the court should issue a temporary restraining order.
	What is that standard?
	Serious harm to the citizens in the state.
	The states have satisfied the winter test.
	This is a reference to a previous case.
	Because they have shown that they are likely to succeed on the merits of the claims that would entitle them to relief.
	The states are likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief.
	The balance of the equities favor the states, and the TRO, temporary restraining order, is in the public interest.
	And then there's some other legal stuff.
	And then there's one...
	A term that is central to this temporary restraining order, which I'll get to in a moment in a clip.
	But the temporary restraining order orders that federal defendants, all their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and persons acting in concert or participation with them are hereby enjoined and restrained from...
	Enforcing Section 3C of the Executive Order and Enforcing Section 5A of the Executive Order, which is the actual meat of the Executive Order which countries the temporary travel ban applies to.
	I was lucky, fortunate I should say, to find a video of the whole procedure with lawyers from Washington State and the ACLU and this judge who...
	I didn't clip this part, but he started off by saying, well, you know, I'll have this ready in an hour and a half in case the Ninth Circuit wants to check my homework.
	So he was already planning on doing this for the moment he got in.
	And this is a guy who wears his judge robes, and he has a bow tie.
	Yeah, I know.
	A colorful bow tie.
	I don't, you know, that's...
	I've never liked that look.
	I've never understood exactly what you're trying to say when you do that.
	It's like, I'm a judge.
	Wrapped up like a gift.
	Or maybe, that's a good one.
	Or maybe, I'm funny in private.
	I'm a douche up here.
	The bow tie spin.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Here we go.
	We'll start off with the lawyer.
	And I was curious as to what exactly...
	I think this is a very interesting case because for the first time as far as I know, in general it's probably true, the reason why this temporary restraining order was handed out was because of the presidential campaign and specifically the The president's tweets.
	So let's get a little background quick, just a quick intro from this lawyer who can't be over 25.
	Very young guy.
	And he says, well, this is what's going on with this executive order.
	How does this ban discriminate in any way or violate equal protection when it's an across-the-board ban?
	You're talking about as to refugees?
	So our claim about refugees is primarily that it is religiously motivated discrimination and that the order is in large part motivated by religious animus.
	That doesn't require us to show that everyone harmed by the order is of a particular faith.
	It just requires us to show that part of the motivation for issuing the order was religious discrimination.
	I found this very interesting.
	This is the one thing I was pretty sure this executive order was not, because it doesn't even mention, there's no word in the order that says Muslim or Islam, and it is a ban on total countries.
	Yet, this lawyer has argued successfully for this temporary restraining order that it was based on religious discrimination, which, And I'm, of course, just a rookie attorney.
	I'm just past the bar.
	I think somehow that plays into discrimination.
	Here is the lawyer explaining why this was actually a Muslim ban, which is what everyone has been saying, all the papers recited, everyone says Muslim ban, and how we have a lawyer who pleaded this successfully and got a temporary restraining order.
	Do you not see some distinction between election campaign statements, and then subsequently an election, and then an executive order which is issued with comment at the time the executive order is issued?
	I have to say, it sounds like the judge is setting the guy up.
	It's obvious the judge wants this, and so he's helping him.
	Yes, he is.
	It seems to me that it's a bit of a reach to say the president is clearly anti-Muslim or anti-Islam based on what he said in New Hampshire in June.
	Well, Your Honor, it might go to the wait to give the evidence, I suppose, but I don't think it's sort of off the table, especially given that we're only a week into, well, two weeks now, I suppose, but the order was issued a week after the campaign, well, after the president took office.
	The inauguration.
	After the inauguration, I'm sorry.
	And so it's not as though those are completely irrelevant.
	And moreover, there's...
	And again, this is before any discovery.
	We have the president's advisor saying on national television that the president asked him to come up with a Muslim ban.
	This was after the election.
	Asked him to come up with a Muslim ban in a way that would make it legal.
	I don't remember this, but I'd love to have that clip where I presume he's talking about Bannon.
	Maybe.
	But an advisor.
	I'd love, if anyone knows which clip that is, we need to see where some advisor of the president who should be fired said this.
	Like, oh yeah, wouldn't this have been something we would have played if I had heard this?
	Yeah, the president really wants a Muslim ban, but he asked me to cover it up in something else.
	Doubtful.
	And that's what they did.
	And so, you know...
	Giuliani?
	Alright, good.
	Giuliani.
	Someone send me a clip.
	This is important.
	Does the executive order mention the word Islamic or Muslim?
	No.
	It does not, Your Honor.
	It does not.
	But when we're arguing about...
	Giuliani's not an advisor?
	I'm sorry?
	Giuliani's not an advisor.
	He's just a friend.
	Technically.
	Maybe at the time you said it, he was an advisor.
	I don't...
	It's irrelevant.
	It's pointing towards this.
	It's not, Your Honor.
	It is not.
	But when we're arguing about religiously motivated targeting, again, the burden is not to prove that it affects every single person of the Islamic faith.
	The burden is to prove that A desire to discriminate based on religion was one motivating factor in the adoption of the order.
	And again, we're at the pleading stage, you know, four days after having filed our complaint.
	No discovery, and there's already an overwhelming amount of evidence to suggest that that's the case, that it was, at least in part, motivated by religion.
	What do you say to the argument that the seven countries that were designated, and I'll quote the language, have been designated as, quote, countries the government of which has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism under 8 U.S.C. 1187.
	Wouldn't that provide a rational basis for the executive order?
	That would provide a cover in our view for, that was maybe one motivating factor, but when you look at the standard of proving a religious discrimination claim, again, you can't just accept at face value the stated purposes.
	Excuse me.
	Especially where, again, before there's even been any discovery, there's so much evidence that it was not targeted at the concerns stated.
	I mean, the order applies to infants, it applies to senior citizens, it applies to students and faculty at our state universities who've never been accused of any wrongdoing.
	I love this part of the argument, which is really saying, how can you be dangerous if you're a child or if you're a student?
	Why don't you tell that to the TSA? Okay, I said okay.
	The minute the TSA stops, the moment...
	Old ladies in wheelchairs, cheerleaders.
	Yeah, then I'm okay with that, but for now it's kind of specious.
	The order applies to infants, it applies to senior citizens, it applies to students and faculty at our state universities who've never been accused of any wrongdoing.
	The main point is the government's saying you cannot look behind the stated reasons, and we're saying that you can.
	The case law doesn't support that argument that they're making.
	Okay.
	Here is the Giuliani clip.
	Thank you, Angela Castaneda.
	If only it were playing.
	Why is it not playing?
	Uh...
	Sorry.
	Oh, here it is.
	I got it.
	Here it comes.
	I got it.
	I got it.
	It's only eight seconds.
	We have it here.
	Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani says Donald Trump asked him how to legally implement a, quote, Muslim ban.
	When he first announced it, he said Muslim ban.
	He called me up.
	He said, put a commission together.
	Show me the right way to do it legally.
	There's no other evidence.
	Douchebag!
	Good job, Giuliani, you douche.
	Nice work.
	Okay, so...
	And what the lawyer is arguing is that there was not enough time for discovery to understand why these seven countries were dangerous, etc.
	Of course, we know that these were actually chosen by President Obama, but taking all this into account...
	This is, I think, Giuliani.
	That's not circumstantial.
	That's an admission right there.
	But, of course, there was tons of stuff about Muslim, Muslim, Muslim being tweeted, etc.
	And so, therefore, the state of Washington...
	Our claims that they are in dire trouble because this would damage the residents, citizens, residents, I should say, of this.
	I would love to hear that part of the argument.
	Well, here it comes.
	Our claim is not the state as state, as we made clear in our standing brief.
	Our claim is the state as proprietor and the state as parents' patriarch on behalf of the people of the state.
	That is the key right there.
	Parents Patriae, which I actually...
	You had to go look it up.
	Yeah, I did.
	I did.
	And we have it right here.
	It's Parents Patriae, is the way I understand it to be pronounced.
	Latin, of course.
	A doctrine that grants the inherent power and authority of the state to protect persons who are legally unable to act on their own behalf.
	In other words, I'm just...
	Translating that in my own head.
	They're the parents.
	They are, by default, the parents of the poor schmucks in Washington State who apparently cannot fend for themselves.
	That's how I see that.
	And what's that got to do with bringing these refugees in?
	Ah, okay.
	So the state as proprietor, I think, is the most obvious way that that argument of theirs is incorrect, Your Honor.
	We...
	Asserting the due process rights on behalf of the people of the state who are harmed and on behalf of the state institutions that they attend.
	So, for example, the University of Washington and Washington State University, as well as our community colleges, are arms of the state.
	It's very clear under state law they're arms of the state.
	We sue on their behalf.
	And their students and faculty are being denied due process rights pursuant to this order.
	And if you look at cases like Pierce v.
	Society of Sisters, 268 U.S. 510, In the cases cited in footnote 3 of our standing brief, it's very clear that schools and universities have standing to bring challenges based on harms to their students.
	So that's the first way in which we have standing to bring a due process claim.
	Second, the SNAP decision, the case out of Puerto Rico, cited in our briefing, makes very clear that states can bring parents' patriotic claims asserting discrimination sort of cause of action.
	There you go.
	It's very clear, according to the lawyer, that this will be hurting the citizens of Washington who cannot fend for themselves.
	And therefore...
	I love the fact that it was like, this is more or less an example of 10th Amendment powers.
	Yes.
	That the left, the guys who were all in for like, just let everybody in and no borders, no nations...
	Have to resort to, to win their side of the argument.
	Yeah.
	Do they not see this?
	What, that they resort to being weak and useless?
	No, that they have to resort to the basis, the basic founding of the Constitution, the basic tenets, the tenets, like the Tenth Amendment, which is a state's rights amendment.
	Mm-hmm.
	And I believe it will be overturned.
	This is a state's rights case.
	Don't you love that?
	Well, I do.
	I mean, it just proves the point.
	But these guys, you know, are just...
	And interestingly, I don't think the Tenth Amendment was necessarily mentioned in this hour and a half.
	Well, you don't have to mention it.
	It's implied.
	You don't have to mention it.
	It's not a Tenth Amendment case.
	It's also not part of their plea.
	They're pleading it under something else, under discrimination.
	Yeah, but it's still a state's rights issue.
	Yeah, I'm pretty sure it'll be overturned, though.
	Well, that Giuliani thing doesn't help.
	Although that's third-hand.
	It's not under oath.
	It's just some guy yakking away on a talk show.
	I don't know how that...
	Well, you know, let me tell you.
	This is one time where all these loose lips are sinking ships.
	It was dumb.
	It was dumb from Giuliani.
	Yeah, he's just showing off.
	I was asked because I'm a big expert and I want to brag about it.
	Let me tell you what happened behind the scenes.
	You peons don't know much about, but I'm going to tell you.
	Yeah, this was not good.
	But just in general, Trump leaves a trail.
	You know, it's easy to go back and say, here's what you said.
	And I'm sure there's tons of Muslim stuff in his tweet feed that will play into this.
	Now, at the same time, well, actually, before we get into sanctuary cities, We need a jingle.
	For Sanctuary Cities?
	Sanctuary Cities, just the two words themselves demand a jingle.
	I agree.
	Sanctuary Cities.
	We do need something for that.
	This was a very interesting little tidbit from UC Berkeley.
	The David Bowie song.
	It says, change, sanctuary, sanctuary.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Yeah, I hear what you're saying.
	Change a song.
	Why don't you choose a green day?
	Maybe it'll work better for you.
	Yeah, those kids are great.
	They're dynamite.
	And you mentioned, I think maybe the last episode or the episode before, you know, where is Janet Napolitano?
	Where is Lucy?
	She's in charge of UC Berkeley.
	She's the one that should be making things happen there, the big ruckus that went on.
	But it turns out she's pretty involved in the HB1 visa scam.
	Robert Harrison is suing the University of California and President Janet Napolitano for giving his job to a lower paid worker on an H-1B visa.
	Do you have any opinions on the H-1B visa program?
	Our top obligation are to American workers, making sure American workers have jobs.
	Eight years ago as Homeland Security Secretary, Napolitano vowed to crack down on H-1Bs.
	Today, she's accused of abusing them.
	But with growth comes new financial challenges.
	As UC president, Napolitano is replacing 97 tech employees at its San Francisco campus with foreign workers.
	Actually sending our jobs, highly skewed jobs, to India.
	The university hopes to save $30 million by paying Indian labor 75% less than U.S. workers.
	I got two notices from UC. One is a bill for my daughter and the other is a layup notice.
	Nguyen and others are suing because they're U.S. citizens.
	So in this case, it's a national origin discrimination because they are taking a diverse workforce and replacing it only with people from one country, to wit, India.
	The university says outsourcing is necessary to reduce the growth rate of IT expenses.
	But in a letter to DeBalitano, fellow Democrat Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren says, Congress never intended the H-1B program be used to undercut wages for domestic workers or facilitate the offshoring of U.S. jobs.
	However, that's exactly what happened.
	What did they think it was going to be used for?
	They knew what it was going to be used for.
	They knew that.
	But how about Janet Napolitano?
	And I think in that case, it does qualify as discrimination because it's replacing people with people from one particular area.
	That seems like discrimination.
	Seems like it to me.
	Just beautiful.
	Cheap workers.
	It's all about getting people on the cheap when you already have somebody doing the job.
	I picked up a couple of...
	Fabulous little clip.
	CNN has gone full retard.
	And you know that's a no-no.
	If you remember your movies.
	I don't know what you're talking about.
	Oh, you never...
	This is...
	It was the Platoon takeoff movie, and we're talking about how...
	Stripes?
	No, not Stripes.
	Was it the one with Robert Downey Jr.
	where he played a black guy playing a white guy?
	Or what was it?
	A white guy playing a black guy playing a white guy?
	I don't know how he wasn't called out for being a racist.
	He was wearing blackface.
	Tropic Thunder, he was.
	Tropic Thunder.
	Tropic Thunder, yes.
	Dustin Hoffman, man.
	You never go full retard.
	You never heard that?
	That's a great line.
	You know, I saw the movie probably over...
	I didn't see it all at once.
	I saw it on an airplane, part of it on the airplane, and then I saw maybe the rest of it.
	I never sat down and actually watched the movie.
	I did think Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of that black maniac was great.
	But at the same time, I was seeing him in blackface wondering why nobody's protesting this.
	They can find a black actor to play a guy like that.
	Okay, well, since you have brought this up, I'll bring it in right now.
	Hold on.
	Because that doesn't happen in the alternative universe, John.
	And it's because of what Hollywood people are.
	You see, they stick together.
	Because even though he may be in blackface, John Legend, you know who John Legend is.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Well, he's also annoying, by the way, John.
	Yes!
	Hence his clip on the No Agenda show.
	He was on NPR talking about his fellow Hollywood brethren.
	Cue John Legend clip.
	Hello?
	There we go.
	Gosh, the whole thing is...
	Is there a larger cost for the entertainment world, seeming like they're in one political camp largely, and you have a president who feels like can sort of paint the entertainment world as the enemy in a way?
	Well, we've always been liberal.
	Musicians, actors, it's almost by disposition.
	We deal with the gay and lesbian community all the time, so we're going to feel like they should have the right to get married, just like we do.
	We deal with people of all colors and all races, and we travel to different countries all the time to perform.
	So we're going to have a more global view and a more inclusive view.
	It's almost by nature and by circumstance of the things that we do.
	So if If America doesn't want to consume the art of people who are liberal-minded, there's not going to be a lot of art for them to consume.
	As simple as that.
	Because the best artists, most of them are liberal.
	Sorry.
	There are some country artists that I know that are conservative.
	I have a lot of country artists that are friends.
	And believe me, some of them are liberal.
	But they don't make a big deal out of it because they know it'll alienate their base.
	I'm telling you, most creative people are liberal.
	There you go.
	That's why.
	So when you're liberal...
	Talk about a bigoted comment.
	When you're liberal, then you can do blackface, you see?
	That's how it works.
	Yeah.
	Actually, that's probably exactly the thinking.
	And I would suggest...
	I'm okay.
	I can do blackface because I'm a liberal.
	And I would suggest to Mr.
	Legend that he should follow his country friends who are liberal and shut up.
	That would help.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Those guys don't make a big deal out of it.
	That's right, you don't need to make a big deal out of it.
	So back to the full-on retard from CNN who have just gone all crazy, man.
	Robert Reich, you've probably seen this, I think an email came to us both with this clip.
	Now, as I've been looking at the UC Berkeley video footage and other protests, you always see the same thing.
	You see, if it's not in front, Tina saw them at the Austin March.
	They're not usually up front, but they're the second row, and they've all got hoodies on and black masks, and they have backpacks for their gear, and they look a little bit out of place.
	And any no-agenda listener, producer who also views things will have noticed at Berkeley that people trashing the campus, setting things on fire, smashing windows, were these same hooded guys.
	And I should mention...
	Just to back you up, I know where you're going.
	The local SFGate ran the story saying there were no actual students involved in this.
	Yep.
	As Berkeley campus, unbeknownst to most people, is 75% Asian.
	Yeah, and they're all flying around the airspace too and you can't understand a word they're saying.
	And you have the only guy, and only one poor jerk-off was arrested, and he happened to be a university employee.
	So these are agent provocateurs, and I'm going to point squarely at Soros for riling this up.
	Because these people did not show up at the airport, the airport demonstrations.
	That is ACLU. This is some of the other groups.
	And this is what Robert Reich, professor at the University of California, Berkeley, what he concluded after seeing these non-students.
	There's a violence that we saw, this violence we saw at Berkeley.
	We had it live here on CNN last night.
	It ultimately does it.
	It plays right into the hands of a right-wing, white supremacist, someone like Milo Yiannopoulos.
	Oh, stop.
	Okay, stop.
	You can call Milo a lot of things.
	A white supremacist is, especially coming from a black man, Don Lemon, is wrong.
	Show me where he has shown any white supremacy tendencies.
	And this is part of the...
	Just as I think CNN calls for no normalization of Trump, his language, how he handles things.
	We can't normalize this.
	I'm going to say we can't normalize what you're doing.
	Calling anybody you don't like out as a Nazi, a white supremacist.
	This is bordering on not okay, and eventually someone's going to have a lawsuit.
	Because you can't just say these things.
	If I was...
	I would be suing Don Lemon for saying that Would I have a case?
	Yeah.
	I think so too.
	I think I would have a slander case.
	All of CNN has to be careful.
	White supremacists, someone like Milo Yiannopoulos.
	It absolutely does, Don.
	And I want to be very, very clear.
	I was there for part of last night, and I know what I saw.
	And those people were not Berkeley students.
	Those were outsiders, agitators.
	I've never seen them before.
	There's rumors that they actually were right-wingers.
	They were part of a kind of a group.
	That were organized and ready to create the kind of tumult and danger you saw that forced the police to cancel the event.
	Of course, they were right-wingers!
	Yes!
	That would be Reich.
	Ah, yes.
	Because the left never does anything like that.
	As we know, the Tea Partiers in particular are always rioting.
	Here's Reich doubling down on his assertion.
	You think this was a strategy by Yiannopoulos or right-wingers that they put this on so they could, in an effort to show or that, you know...
	Fake nose!
	This is unbelievable.
	Do you think that Yiannopoulos Milo was in cahoots?
	I've got an idea.
	Let's go to Berkeley.
	We'll get everybody all excited and then we'll trash the place!
	And then we can say, see, lefties are horrible.
	No, you don't need to set that up.
	This is the truth.
	There's no free speech on a college campus like UC Berkeley?
	I wouldn't bet against it, Don.
	You know, again, I saw these people.
	They were very, they all looked very, almost paramilitary.
	They were not from the campus.
	And I've heard, you know, again, I don't want to say factually, but I've heard that there was some relationship there between these people and the right wing.
	And the right wing movement that is affiliated with Breitbart News.
	Oh, they call me a conspiracy theorist.
	Whoa.
	Yes, this is off the rails.
	Okay, here's one.
	Well, your interstitial clip?
	Yep.
	This is a congresswoman to show Reich that he's, you know, he's not paying attention to his own messaging done by his own side of the argument.
	This is a congresswoman talking about how the Berkeley riots were a beautiful thing.
	Which congresswoman is it, do you know?
	Yeah, I do have her name.
	Meanwhile, an American congresswoman has dubbed Wednesday's protests at the University of Berkeley, which turned very violent, quote, a beautiful site.
	It broke out shortly before a senior editor of the news website Breitbart was due to give a speech against so-called sanctuary campuses, which offer protection to undocumented students.
	Hold on a second.
	That's news.
	Sanctuary campuses.
	I hadn't heard that one.
	Yes, yes.
	No, she says it was a beautiful sight, this Val Demings from Florida.
	She's on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
	All right.
	Undocumented students.
	We have seen demonstrations, and I think we've already talked about that around the country, young people at Berkeley protesting against this unconstitutional order.
	And so as we encourage our young people to get involved, I thought it was a beautiful sight.
	Yeah, that fits great.
	It's a beautiful sight.
	Riots against the planned event of the campus have raised concerns in the media over free speech.
	Some say the protests are somewhat ironic, given that the university considers itself a beacon of the free speech movement.
	That was a good one.
	I like that, John.
	It was beautiful.
	It was just beautiful to see everything burning.
	I love it.
	I love it.
	The beautiful sight.
	Back to the...
	And then she says the protests were about Trump's, again, just twisting.
	Unconstitutional.
	Specifically about Milo.
	Yeah, unconstitutional.
	Getting him off to campus.
	Right.
	Mark Lamond Hill.
	The black man on CNN. The other black man on CNN. Yeah, he gets himself in trouble.
	What did he say the last time?
	There were dumb Negroes?
	What was it?
	A mediocre.
	Mediocre Negroes, right.
	He started lining up a bunch of mediocre Negroes.
	And it was all heavy hitters.
	So he propagates this.
	And you can watch for this to accelerate, that this was right-wing troublemakers.
	And I forget who the other guest was.
	There's an association thing here you've got to also pay attention to.
	They desperately want to associate the Trump administration with Nazis, brown shirts.
	This is the kind of thing they do.
	Exactly.
	And that's what...
	Yeah, exactly.
	So Mark Lamont Hill tries to do that as well.
	And interjected by another guest on the show.
	One, I think we have to separate the institution from the people out there.
	The University of California, Berkeley didn't...
	Do anything wrong here.
	They not only support free speech, but they supported the college Republicans who brought them in to do what?
	To fund it, to offer security.
	They've spoken out against the violent protests.
	This is not an issue of free speech at the institutional level.
	I think it's also a bit inaccurate to say that this is a problem purely of the left.
	I think we have intolerance on the left and on the right.
	I mean, I travel the college speaking circuit all the time, and the right boycotts, the right writes letters, the right tells people not to let me in.
	Do you spray people that want to come to your event?
	Do they set things on fire?
	Do they destroy property?
	Do they flip over barricades?
	Tell me the last time a bunch of conservatives went to a college campus and acted this way, because I would love to see the proof behind that.
	Well, you know, they don't always go to college campuses.
	Sometimes they blow up abortion clinics.
	Sometimes they burn down mosques.
	That's not what we're talking about.
	Now you're stretching.
	No, no.
	I'm not stretching.
	I'm just trying to finish my point.
	What I'm saying is that both sides have extremists and respond to disagreement violently.
	No, it's not necessarily on a college campus, although sometimes it is.
	And there have been right-wing riots on college campuses as well.
	But the point is that both sides...
	I'm not defending...
	Let me finish, but I'm not defending the behavior.
	I'm saying let's not pretend that only the left has violent forms of disagreement.
	That's simply inaccurate here.
	And I think what's even more trouble...
	Mark, tell me one example of where conservatives on a campus have done this.
	And I think what's even more...
	Ben, I'm not trying to avoid your questions as you keep interrupting, so I'm just going to get to my other point.
	And, of course, you never actually answered the question.
	Because there is no example of that.
	Now, here is an example of one of the rioters, a young rioter.
	You know what he should have done?
	I'm sorry to interrupt.
	I just thought it comes to mind.
	What he should have done, if you really wanted to have a great clip, and it would have gotten a clip of the day if Mark Lamont Hill would have said, yeah, I'll give you some examples.
	Hitler!
	Yeah, that would have been good.
	Hitler!
	This is a piece that many saw after the initial...
	The initial riots, inaugural riots.
	This was man on the street.
	There was this kid.
	Well, here's the report.
	We're outside the National Press Club, and you can see the police presence.
	They're signs thanking President Obama, obviously.
	It's mostly peaceful now.
	A fire broke out just behind us.
	This fire was started.
	In fact, this young man, you were participating in the fire.
	What's your name?
	My name's Carter, and I actually kind of started this fire.
	So why'd you start that fire, Carter?
	Because I felt like it, and because I'm just, uh...
	Sing, screw our president!
	Alright.
	Good one.
	The kid is Connor Carey.
	Drew Carey's kid.
	Yeah.
	That's the kid who was doing that.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Hollywood kid.
	Yeah.
	Right on.
	There you go.
	Right wing, obviously.
	Right wing.
	Yeah, another right winger.
	Screw our president.
	Drew Carey has got to be irked with this kid.
	No, I disagree.
	I think he's probably proud.
	I don't think so.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, come on.
	The little kid committed a felony for all practical purposes.
	I'm sure John Legend already called him.
	Hey, man, good work.
	All us liberals in Hollywood, we've got to stick together.
	Your kid's going to be a great liberal.
	Luckily, MSNBC had a little bit of noise come in the other direction.
	Tom Brokejaw was there.
	And Tom is, of course, from the old school.
	He was surprised and a bit outraged.
	Looking at Berkeley, which was just short of anarchy, in my judgment, it was so reminiscent of what I was doing in 1966, 67, and 68.
	I spent a lot of time on that campus.
	I bet he was a troublemaker.
	Yeah.
	And they did, in fact, help change the rules about student participation and so on.
	But the violence that you see here only feeds the beast.
	It will only solidify the Trump followers in saying, these are not people that I want to be associated with.
	This is not how you respond.
	And they are supposed to be...
	They go to one of the great universities in the world.
	They're privileged people.
	At that university.
	And they can't hear somebody who comes and has a message that is completely contrary to what anybody else wants to hear, but is allowed to speak that message on the campus.
	I think it's outrageous, quite honestly.
	And I think it is contrary to what they're attempting to do.
	And to follow that up, he had some advice for the young people who might want to know what to do in this case when you have a horrible president.
	Well, a lot of young people come to me and say, I'm just outraged by what's going on.
	I said, rage is not a policy.
	That's my advice to them.
	You've got to figure out what you want to do.
	There's going to be a big pushback about Judge Gorsuch on the part of the Democrats.
	They're going to make that one of the testing places for them.
	The fact is that this man has a very distinguished background in the judicial world.
	He has a doctorate from Oxford.
	I have friends in the federal judiciary who don't agree with his philosophy, but say there is not a better judge in the federal circuit right now than him.
	So why pick that as a fight?
	Yeah, choose your battles is what Tom is saying.
	Wisely, probably.
	Wisely.
	Yeah, nobody's going to pay attention to him.
	They're going to pay attention to Schumer.
	You know the term is, of course, extreme vetting?
	You know where vetting comes from?
	The word vetting?
	It has something to do with the cotton you stick in a pillow?
	No, no.
	It stems from the 19th century horse race craze in Great Britain and Ireland.
	The verb to vet originated in the words usage as an abbreviation for veterinarian.
	It gives it kind of an extra twist when you think about it.
	Yeah.
	We're going to treat you like cattle.
	Veterinarian.
	Vetting.
	Final one here.
	This is Nancy Pelosi, just as it pertains to normalized speech and calling people things which I believe are quite slanderous.
	What's making America less safe is to have a white supremacist named to the National Security Council as a permanent member, while the chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the director of national intelligence are told...
	Don't call us, we'll call you.
	You're no longer permanent members.
	We'll call you when we need whatever judgment they make about when they want them to come back.
	It's a stunning thing that a white supremacist, Bannon, would be a permanent member of National Security Council.
	Can she just say these things?
	Can you just go and keep saying that crap?
	If so, if she...
	I mean...
	First of all, there's no sort of immunity if you're a lawmaker.
	Oh, that may be possible.
	He's a public figure.
	Yeah, which is always part of the problem.
	Yeah, he's a big time public figure, so you can really abuse it.
	And there's a couple other reasons you can say that.
	But she's nuts.
	She's a nutcase.
	Yeah, I'm also asking for a friend to make sure that we're safe.
	We call people a lot of things.
	I don't think we've called anyone a Nazi or a white supremacist.
	Douchebag, for sure.
	Yeah, but see, the problem with douchebag, and I figured this out some time ago, and there's also a lot of, there's a lot of, we do have some limited liability, but the douchebag thing, I've always thought, which I believe was invented by some comic, and it may have been John Stewart, someone I think who popularized it.
	Really?
	And it comes down to the idea that you would, And by the way, that's different than calling someone a criminal.
	That you can't do.
	You cannot call someone a criminal unless they actually are a criminal.
	And even then, if they're any good, they can sue you.
	People should just not call people criminals.
	Unless they were in jail or something happened like that.
	But the douchebag idea goes like this.
	So you decide to sue over being called a douchebag.
	And you have to end up in court with the following kind of things going on.
	Are you, Mr.
	Jones, a douchebag?
	Do you consider yourself a douchebag?
	No, I'm not a douchebag.
	Why do you think these people are calling you a douchebag?
	Well, I don't know why they're calling me a douchebag.
	I mean, you would just be so embarrassed by the time the trial was over that you would be a douchebag.
	That would totally be something I'd be all in for.
	Just to have that happen.
	He's taking this to court because they don't want to be cross-examined.
	And then they'll have witnesses coming up saying, yeah, well, I would say, I could call him, I would think he's kind of a douchebag.
	He's done some things that would be douchebaggy.
	And it's not going to work.
	That's not going to happen.
	So, you can call people douchebags.
	Now, I'd like to move towards the newsletter.
	It kind of fits in seamlessly here where you pointed out the quote unquote NYU professor who went completely nuts and was quoted everywhere as the New York University professor who went completely nuts.
	I did pull the clip if you want to hear some of the people.
	Yeah, let's play it.
	Play it.
	I've seen it.
	Why are you here?
	You're not here to protect these students!
	She's yelling at the NYPD, is what she's doing.
	We're in front of one of the buildings.
	Nazis?
	No, you're not!
	This is completely fucked up!
	And these students had to fucking chase them on their own!
	You should be ashamed of yourselves!
	You should be standing up to those Nazis!
	You should be attacking these students of hate!
	This is hate!
	This is hate!
	These are fucking assholes!
	This is a joke!
	You're protecting the Nazis!
	It's a fucking joke!
	You are a joke!
	You're brown boys!
	You're brown boys!
	And even the black guys!
	You're a fucking brown boy too, you motherfucker!
	You're not protecting!
	She just goes on and on.
	She goes on and on, and at the end, she keeps saying she's a professor, and then the guys that are taking the movies mock it.
	Let me get to that bit here.
	These fucking neo-Nazis, they're here!
	You should kick their ass!
	You should!
	You should be ashamed of yourselves!
	You should!
	Fuck that shit!
	Fuck that shit!
	It's not up to these students to kick the ass of a D.O. Nazi!
	They don't have to raise their fists!
	They were taught to be peaceful!
	Fuck you!
	Fuck you!
	It's coming from a professor.
	I'm a professor!
	She's a professor!
	Hey guys, she's a professor!
	You're here to protect the Nazis!
	So fuck you!
	Oh my.
	God fucking damn it!
	And she was foaming, man.
	She was foaming at the mouth.
	But...
	It was great.
	She is, of course, a...
	She is a professor.
	She is a professor.
	She has a master's degree of fine arts.
	She's a professor where?
	Oh, in Rhode Island.
	Because she is a performance artist.
	I have her website right here.
	She's a performance artist.
	Oh yeah, you should look at it.
	There you go.
	She's a performance artist.
	She has a website that has the craziest stuff on it.
	It's rebogallery.com.
	And you can see it.
	She has here the fuck platter, the lobster rolling, touch my hull, all these great little projects she has.
	She's 100% performance artist and...
	In my view, took complete advantage of the situation to further her own career.
	Disgraceful.
	That's what you want to do.
	Disgraceful.
	Disgraceful.
	Rebecca Goyette.
	Yep.
	Yeah.
	She's a performance artist.
	Look at her bio.
	It says it right there.
	I'm looking at it now.
	Yeah.
	All these exhibitions.
	Group exhibitions.
	Yeah.
	Performance artist.
	Good work.
	Well, I think she may have been hired.
	Possibly.
	That's what I would do.
	If I'd known about her or I'd seen her stuff.
	She seems good, for sure.
	Yeah, she's very talented.
	And it reminded me, as I put in the newsletter, of Dick Tuck and then Donald Segretti.
	Yeah, tell me about Dick Tuck.
	Well, Dick Tuck was the most famous of all the other issues.
	Is that a real name?
	That can't be a real name, obviously.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Born 1924, former, I'm going to read from the thing, because the good stuff is in.
	Duck first met Richard Nixon as a student at the University of California in Santa Barbara in 1950.
	He's working for Congresswoman Helen Gagin-Douglas, very famous.
	She was running for a seat in the U.S. Senate against Nixon, and this was an absolutely not a professor.
	I knew I was in politics.
	I forgot the rest.
	He asked me to advance a Nixon visit.
	When Nixon came on stage, Tuck asked him to speak about the International Monetary Fund.
	When the speech was over, Nixon asked Tuck his name and told him, Dick Tuck, you've made your last advance.
	And they got into a beef.
	And so Tuck became an enemy of Nixon.
	And I think Helen Gagin Douglas was a target of Nixon's too.
	And so here's some of the stuff he would pull.
	Tuck's most famous prank against Nixon is known as the Chinatown caper.
	to Nixon, who he lost, by the way.
	Nixon visited Chinatown in Los Angeles at the campaign stop.
	A background of children holding welcome signs in English and Chinese was set up.
	As Nixon spoke, an elder from the community whispered that one of the signs in Chinese said, what about the Hughes loan?
	A sign that was a reference to the unsecured $205,000 loan that Howard Hughes had made to Nixon's brother Donald.
	Nixon grabbed a sign and on camera ripped it up.
	Later, Tuck learned to his chagrin that the Chinese characters actually spelled out, what about the huge loan?
	After the first Chinese Nixon debate, Tuck hired an elderly woman who put on a Nixon button and embraced a candidate in front of TV cameras.
	She said, don't worry, son.
	He beat you last night, but you'll get him next time.
	This is just all subtle.
	Dick is credited with waving a train out of the station while Nixon was still speaking.
	Tuck has a time-taking responsibility claiming Nixon up there talking and suddenly the crowd goes out like the morning tie.
	He arranged the crowds to disappear.
	He would set up a whole crowd and then have them leave.
	He borrowed a conductor's hat to get the train to go.
	He utilized Republican nominees' own campaign slogan against him.
	He hired a very pregnant African woman to wander around a Nixon rally in a predominantly white area wearing the t-shirt that said, Nixon's the one.
	That name, though, I mean, that is possibly one of the better disc jockey names I've ever heard.
	Dick Tuck.
	Yeah.
	Well, anyway, he...
	Everybody, it's 10 Minutes to 12.
	Dick Tuck with you here on the Mighty Z100. Nixon was so upset with this guy, those were only a few of his gags.
	So he hired this guy, Segretti, was hired by Dwight Chapin, who was Nixon's guy, to run a campaign of dirty tricks, which he called rat-fucking, against the Democrats, with his work being paid for by Herb Kolumbach, Nixon's lawyer from presidential campaign re-election funds.
	A law required contributors to be identified, even though he covered up the money.
	Uh, Segretti's involvement in the Canuck letter typifies tactics Segretti and others working with him use forcing a letter ascribed to Senator Edward Muskie, which maligned the people, language, and the culture of the French Canadian and, uh, French Canada and the French Canadians.
	Causing the soon-to-be Democrat presidential candidate Muskie considerable headaches in denying the letter and having to continue dealing with the issue.
	This is the year that Muskie was going to be the vice president, I believe, and he ended up crying in public.
	I don't remember any of this.
	I don't know any of this.
	Yeah, there's all this crazy stuff that was going on in the 60s and 70s.
	A notable example of the wrongdoing was a fake letter on Muskie's letterhead.
	Falsing, alleging that U.S. Senator Henry Scoop Jackson, a fellow Democrat, had an illegitimate child with a 17-year-old.
	So, I mean, these guys were doing this stuff.
	This was, I think, continued in subtle ways.
	I think that letter that got Dan Rather fired from CBS... Yeah, it was probably part of that whole cabal.
	And this kind of thing, I don't believe for a minute this doesn't continue, although now, I mean, right now you've got the, who's that guy that was, is Alex Jones' buddy?
	Stone, Roger Stone.
	Roger Stone is one of these guys.
	Yeah, oh, totally.
	He's totally a dick tuck.
	Yeah, he's a dick tuck.
	And there's no doubt that Hillary had a bunch of them, but they weren't as talented, I don't think.
	But these people are still out there.
	The Hillary's dick tucks, they actually had shame.
	You have to be shameless to be a true dick tuck.
	You've got to not care.
	I think Stone doesn't care.
	I think he doesn't care.
	In fact, in 1974, I read this, in 1974, Segretti Pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor counts of distributing illegal forged campaign literature and was sentenced to six months in prison.
	Excellent.
	Yeah, well, there's thugs everywhere.
	And Stone is definitely one of them.
	As long as you still keep seeing Stone, and I saw him the other day on some talk show, you know something's going on.
	What I don't understand is the civics knowledge of these university kids who keep calling people Nazis.
	Of course, Nazis were the social democrats.
	They were on the left.
	They were the left.
	I don't understand how they could confuse this.
	When the fascists first began, they were an intellectual movement.
	People should look into it.
	It started in the 20s.
	And it was an intellectual movement that came out of the colleges.
	After World War I. Yes, I believe so.
	Yeah, that's when...
	Anyway.
	And it started in Italy.
	It's also, in a weird way, even though Hank Reardon is effectively the president, it feels a lot like Atlas Shrugged.
	It really does.
	People are like, you know, we have no nations, no borders, got to be fair to everybody, even though that is not the government, which is a...
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	Meanwhile, in Euroland, all over Euroland, there were protests this weekend against President Trump and his Muslim ban.
	Clutching bonners, bearing slogans such as Theresa the appeaser and Make America Think Again.
	Thousands of protesters have marched through Central.
	Yeah, well, Theresa the appeaser is, of course, a throwback, a callback to Chamberlain.
	Is that not Chamberlain who had the strategy of appeasement with Hitler?
	Yeah.
	So this is another Hitler reference.
	Yeah, Theresa the appeaser, now that you mention it.
	Thousands of protesters have marched through central London.
	Theresa May!
	Shame on you!
	Theresa May!
	Shame on you!
	US President Donald Trump's travel ban has sparked international condemnation.
	A petition calling for the leader to be prevented from making an official state visit to the UK has garnered over 1.8 million...
	The BBC? Oh my god, they hire people that talk like this?
	I think so.
	Signatures.
	I think people worldwide are disgusted at Trump.
	They think this is totally unjustified.
	After all, this is a ban on Muslims from seven countries, four of which have been bombed and occupied by American troops.
	This is another new one that I'm reading everywhere.
	Do you think it's a coincidence that four of those seven countries, we bombed the crap out of them?
	I'd just like to point out that France and the UK and NATO was involved, certainly in Libya.
	The French are involved in Syria.
	So, you know, be very careful.
	I blame Trump.
	Yeah, be very careful what you say, line A. So people feel it is against civil liberties, against human rights, and it will increase racism.
	It will also, in my opinion, increase terrorism.
	Around a thousand people also marched.
	Through the center of the French capital to demonstrate against Trump's executive order.
	A similar number gathered in Sydney.
	U.S.-Australian relations were tested on Thursday following a phone call between the nation's two leaders in which Trump reportedly labeled their refugee resettlement deal dumb.
	Dumb.
	It's dumb.
	And just to show you how dumb it's gotten...
	Sally Cohn, who I'm not a fan of, was on CNN. We all know Sally Cohn.
	She makes a stunning admission in arguing how horrible Donald Trump is.
	A stunning admission.
	I don't think she even realized what she said or that this would have ever passed the muster on CNN to go on the airwaves.
	The president is now challenging your arguing the facts based on arguing against the court finding, but you want to give the court finding credence to argue against me.
	I mean, this is insane.
	We all know what it is.
	And he said he made it clear himself.
	This is about his definition of terrorism, etc.
	But let's pay attention to what's happening.
	What it means is that, first of all, countries that we have helped to destroy through our creation of ISIS, we now can't help the translators, the refugees, the people whose lives we ruined.
	They can't come here for solace.
	Did she just say that we created ISIS? She sure did.
	Well, that would be President Obama and Hillary Clinton who created ISIS. So why is she blaming Trump?
	The thing that she's arguing is because Obama and Clinton created ISIS, it's horrible of us to not let the translators who helped us fight them into the country.
	That's her entire argument.
	And of course, actually, a translator was let into the country even before the ban was really understood and before the temporary restraining order.
	I just thought it was amazing.
	There's stuff going on, John.
	It's out of control.
	It is.
	It's actually out of control.
	There's a prison riot.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	One more, one more.
	The latest thing is the thing that's going to be on today when they do the whole interview with Trump on O'Reilly's going to interview Trump.
	Yeah, the Super Bowl.
	And they're going back and forth.
	O'Reilly's a warmonger.
	He's really a Democrat.
	And he never admits this.
	But he's a war money.
	He wants more war.
	He gets into beef.
	You can see it when he talks to anybody.
	He likes John McCain.
	He likes these guys.
	He's a Kaganite.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
	So he is badgering Trump and says, you know, don't you think the Russians are a bunch of a-holes and they've done a lot of bad things and they're murderers?
	And then Trump says something like, I don't have the clip, but Something to the effect of, hey, we've done a lot of bad things ourselves, which is true.
	But no, the media has gone nuts.
	Oh, he's condemning the American way and all this other stuff.
	It's unbelievable the pushback he's getting.
	Listen to this.
	Listen to this.
	Mild comment.
	Trump is being blamed for everything now.
	It's a go-to.
	Here's what I say.
	If you get pulled over for speeding, just say, I was listening to President Trump on the radio and I just got so mad about him.
	You'll probably get off without a ticket.
	Yeah, I think a lot of cops are Trump supporters.
	I always have to remember 57% of the public really probably supports Trump.
	Delaware inmates rioted at the prison.
	As the hostage situation unfolded today, inmates at the prison made contact with the outside world.
	They were patched through to the News Journal.
	It's a Delaware newspaper.
	And here's an excerpt of one of the calls.
	We're trying to explain why our reason is for doing what we're doing.
	Donald Trump, everything that he did, all the things that he's doing.
	The calls also mentioned the need for education and rehabilitation.
	Now, the call you just heard and others were turned over to police.
	It's Donald Trump.
	Because of Trump, we're rioting.
	Is Donald Trump's fault for the prison riot?
	They said it right there.
	We know Donald Trump's going to do horrible things, so we're rioting.
	Ha ha ha!
	Boy, the public has just been brainwashed to an extreme.
	This is pretty good work.
	This is Soros.
	No, John, it's the machine.
	It's not just Soros.
	Yeah, but the machine is being greased by some rich guy.
	The machine is greased to the max.
	I did catch one little statement from the White House.
	It's oozing Soros juice.
	Nice little thing I caught, which of course was not reported anywhere.
	And I believe Ivanka and her husband were drivers behind this to make sure that this was published.
	Now it's just a note from the president.
	President Donald J. Trump will continue to enforce executive orders protecting the rights of the LGBT community in the workplace.
	President Donald J. Trump is determined to protect the rights of all Americans, including the LGBT community.
	President Trump continues to be respectful and supportive of LGBTQ rights, just as he was throughout the election.
	The president is proud to have been the first ever GOP nominee to mention the LGBT community in his nomination acceptance speech, pledging then to protect the community from violence and oppression.
	The executive order signed in 2014, President Obama's, which protects employees from anti-LGBTQ workplace discrimination while working for federal contractors, will remain intact at the direction of President Donald J. Trump.
	Funny, I didn't hear anything about that.
	Why would you?
	But I did hear, you know, I do get emails from, let's see, what was the most recent email?
	Because, of course, there's stuff going on in Austin.
	Here it is.
	This was, here we go.
	Here, ACLU of Texas.
	Here we go.
	All in for equality.
	Texas lawmakers have already proposed several bills that threaten LGBT equality.
	On Monday, March 20th, activists from across the state are going to Austin to tell state lawmakers that all Texans deserve to be equal under the law.
	We don't discriminate in the Lone Star State!
	Join us here!
	So I tried to figure out what was going on about these horrible threats to the LGBT community.
	And the only thing I can find...
	Lip-smacking alert.
	Sorry.
	The only thing I can find is...
	Some bills that are possibly being proposed regarding protest.
	This is all over the country.
	North Dakota, Republicans introduced a bill last week that would allow motorists to run over and kill any protester obstructing a highway as long as the driver does so accidentally.
	That seems fair.
	In Minnesota, Bill introduced us.
	There is a video going around showing a guy who is just that.
	A girl got hit.
	Yeah, but they're on the highway like a bunch of morons.
	No, this was a guy that was a white BMW guy.
	And he was on the hood.
	The driver kept going and this one guy jumps on his hood.
	So the driver takes off like a rocket and starts driving back and forth and back and forth to shake the guy.
	Yeah, I would have done the same thing.
	And he shook him off and ran him over.
	I would have done the same.
	I don't know if I'd run him over, but I would shake the guy off.
	Come on.
	That's insane.
	Oh, here it is.
	All in for Equal Advocacy Day.
	This is it.
	Here we go.
	It's from the ACLU. By the way, I put that call with the ACLU in the show notes for today.
	It's under extras if people want to listen to it.
	Urge state lawmakers protect LGB Texans from discrimination.
	Now, we just heard that the president said at a federal level he is going to protect.
	Of course, the states have their own rights.
	Equality Texas, ACLU of Texas, Human Rights Campaign, Texas Freedom Network, and Transgender Education Network of Texas invite you to our All In for Equality Advocacy Day.
	This is an opportunity for you to ask state leaders to pass inclusive policies that protect all Texans.
	So there is nothing on the books that There's nothing.
	As far as I can tell, there's nothing on the books that even relates to LGBTQ, yet they're riling kids up to donate and to protest.
	Very good.
	But my favorite comes from the NABJ podcast.
	Now you'd think we'd be part of any organization that has BJ in its name, but no, we cannot because this is the National Association of Black Journalists.
	And they are very, very saddened, John.
	And the reason is, well, I'll just read it verbatim.
	The National Association of Black Journalists is saddened by Tamron Hall's departure from NBC.
	She broke ground as the first black female Today Show co-host and was enjoying rating success alongside Al Roker during the show's third hour of programming.
	NBC has been a leader for diversity in broadcasting, but recent reports that Hall and Roker will be replaced by former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly are being seen by industry professionals as whitewashing.
	You know, this is interesting.
	Well, I watch that show occasionally.
	That woman, Tamron, I guess is her name.
	She's quite good.
	Roker could go.
	I do not like Roker.
	I know him.
	I've worked with him.
	But this woman is good.
	She's...
	She's sharp.
	She's very pleasant.
	And she's good looking.
	She fits right into the whole thing.
	I don't see why they get rid of her.
	It makes no sense.
	Unless they're moving her.
	They have to be moving her someplace else because she's too...
	She's too multi-culti kind of network style to just kick out of the place.
	It doesn't make sense.
	Well, reading the rest of the statement from the National Association of Black Journalists, there's a lot of insinuation here.
	Published reports suggest Kelly will be replacing Today Takes, the hour of programming led by Hall and Roker.
	Roker tweeted last week that the show leaves the ratings in its time slot and consistently beats its competition.
	I have not checked this, but they're taking it as fact from Roker.
	This achievement deserves praise!
	Please clap.
	Not punishment!
	As replacing talent is often associated with low ratings performance.
	Kelly has a well-documented history of offensive remarks regarding people of color.
	Really?
	She's a racist, white supremacist.
	I've never heard her say anything like that.
	Here it comes.
	On the Kelly File, her Fox News show, the host said, then First Lady Michelle Obama's commencement address at Tuskegee University pandered to a, quote, culture of victimization.
	That could be.
	No, she's a racist for saying that.
	Racist.
	Nothing race involved with that.
	Whites and blacks both cater to a culture of victimization.
	She's racist.
	It's racist.
	Stop trying to...
	This is really slant.
	It's terrible that they would say that.
	She goes out of her way not to be anything like that.
	But, on the other hand, if you analyze it from a perspective of a producer or a TV guy...
	I don't know why you'd make this move.
	It makes no sense.
	For one thing, Kelly is an evening style of presenter.
	There's a difference.
	There's a difference between an evening style and a morning style.
	And she's not a morning style at all.
	There's no way.
	She's too dolled up and she's too slightly...
	You have to be in an afternoon, evening mood to put up with her.
	You don't want to see her in the morning.
	So why would you make this move?
	It makes no sense.
	Hey, Kelly, baby, I don't want to see you in the morning.
	I don't want to see you in the morning.
	Just slip that pillowcase over your head, will you?
	It's a little rough.
	Yes, that's what it sounds like.
	But from an objective perspective, I think I'm correct.
	Of course you're correct.
	But this National Association of Black Journalists, I think they're pushing it a little far.
	Yeah, they're racist, obviously.
	They cite no quantitative proof.
	Of a ratings bonanza.
	And by the way, maybe they just want to shake things up.
	I mean, maybe...
	If it has the good ratings they claim, they wouldn't do that.
	Of course not.
	The other opportunities are possible, which are...
	All of a sudden, Tamar, whatever her name is, and Roker wanted more money because they were getting good ratings.
	Oh, that's also possible.
	And then we're not giving any more money this morning thing.
	It's ridiculous.
	Well, now that we're talking about it, I'm going to take it.
	And I'll go one more.
	Not that I'm going to go into too much analysis, which I already have.
	the two of them might or especially I mean either one of them if you're in that business and you're doing this morning stuff all you have to do is look over at Ellen and before that you can look over at Rosie and some of these other people that were all on syndication deals that's the money these people make tens of millions of dollars because they're syndicated these two to Tamara and Roker, they make salary.
	Yes.
	They don't get any piece of the action.
	10 to 25 million.
	If they're kicking the ass of the other morning shows, you have to wonder what they're thinking, because they're getting whatever their yearly is, and it's just part of their contract.
	And these other people are making all kinds of money on syndication.
	I'm reading some of the show business periodicals to find out if there's anything about the ratings.
	There is...
	Clear this is not going to be...
	They're doing something different with that hour.
	It won't be a continuation of the Today Show.
	It's going to be something completely different.
	Also, Hall's contract was nearing its end.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Yeah.
	And it even says here, her reps are negotiating.
	Okay, so they negotiated and they...
	Yeah, these networks like to go, how much money is it that you want?
	Oh, good.
	Why don't you go find it over at CBS? Get out.
	Yeah, I want to see if I can find the actual ratings.
	I can't find it easily.
	Hmm.
	I bet you it wasn't.
	This is a contract deal.
	Yeah, of course.
	And it happens.
	It's show business.
	And you get used to it.
	Ha, humor.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C. C stands for College of Racists.
	Dvorak.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry, also in the morning to all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the Danes and Danes, all the Danes and all the Danes and the Nights Up.
	The Danes and the Finns out there.
	In the morning to everyone in the chat room, noagendastream.com, good to see you all there, in large numbers as usual, and in the morning to Martin JJ. He brought us the artwork for episode 900, aptly titled 900, and that was, of course, Miss Globalism on the cover.
	Had nothing to do with 900, which made it so great.
	It's just simple.
	We pick the best piece is what we do.
	Yes.
	And we appreciate all the 900 attempts.
	Yes, and please continue to submit at noagendaartgenerator.com.
	It's highly, highly appreciated.
	And I might mention, we have no contract disputes here at the No Agenda Show.
	We don't have any way of getting fired by a dumb network executive, otherwise known as a suit.
	That's because you support the show.
	Yeah.
	And when your support goes away and you don't want to hear the show anymore, you think that we stink, then we'll go find something else to do and we have to work for a suit.
	I hope not.
	Yeah, I'd rather do webcam work, honestly.
	So we had webcam.
	Yeah.
	Actually, what I want to do is get one of those, just a fixed webcam, and then I'll just shout into it.
	Yeah.
	For 15, 20 minutes a day.
	Yeah, I think my webcam will be more popular.
	Not necessarily.
	Dwayne Melanson, we left him out of show 900.
	You have to retroactively put him on that list over there.
	If you can.
	Oh, on the 900 list.
	Yes, of course.
	I'll put them on there.
	Of course.
	Yeah, go back.
	Archduke of the Pacific Northwest.
	You got it.
	He somehow...
	The scraper didn't pick him up somehow.
	And so we had...
	Yeah, Eric's got some thing that he works with PayPal's API to get these names.
	So they all go in the spreadsheet automatically.
	Mm-hmm.
	But apparently the API has certain little things like it stops or it stops working or it...
	It's probably based on OAuth and it therefore sucks.
	Yeah.
	It's probably something like that.
	So Dwayne Melanson got left out, and he felt bad about it, but we felt worse about it.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, ITMEC writes, Archduke of the Pacific Northwest here, I consider you to be the best podcast in the multiverse now.
	I asked for karma for all nights and an end of show request that Yoko...
	Well, I don't think you're going to need to request that for a while.
	Yoko singing, plus the North Korean yelling lady.
	I have a short version for now, and I'll play the longer version at the end.
	You've got karma.
	There you go.
	Two nutjobs in one.
	Another one that was left out of the last week, which I'm going to just jump to, which is the associate executive producer, John from Parts Unknown, and he has his note.
	I've stumbled upon the No Agenda show years ago, and I haven't missed an episode since.
	I've been a loyal monthly donor for a while now.
	Now on the occasion of the 900th show, I'm finally reaching knighthood.
	In light of my forthcoming relocation, I'd be honored if you bestow upon me the title of Sir John, the one night...
	Oh, we already got this.
	We did this one night in Bangkok.
	Yeah, we got the one night in Bangkok.
	We did him, yeah.
	I know what Eric thought he missed it for.
	Yeah, we did that one.
	And it came up, I guess, when he did his debugging.
	All right, onward.
	So let's start with Baronet Tess.
	Well, hold on, John.
	There's a couple others where these were also made goods.
	I'm going to read them down when we get to this.
	Oh, okay.
	All right, good.
	All right.
	Lovely.
	I think I can manage.
	You got it.
	Kathy Lee Baronet, that's Kathy Lee Simunich in West Chicago, Illinois, sent in $500 in the mail.
	And she, I want to just give her a little tip.
	She sent a note.
	She wrote, I'm just going to, just in the future, Kathy, write the check in like blue or black ink.
	I know this is going to be a hassle getting this check through.
	She wrote it in red ink on a pink check.
	Not machine readable.
	It's not machine readable because they can't read the red at all.
	Please use a number two pencil.
	It's going to bounce around a little bit.
	And in fact, if you don't have X amount of lumens in the room, you can't see anything.
	It looks blank.
	But we appreciate it.
	We appreciate it.
	Yeah, it is a good check.
	It's just the banks are picky.
	Saturday's newsletter was great, she says, and reminded me to donate.
	We haven't missed an episode in three years and on our way to a triple knighthood.
	Both her and her husband.
	Dane Cathy says sorry in the chat room.
	She's there.
	Well, she's in there.
	Hiya.
	Yeah, baronet.
	There's nothing to be sorry about.
	It's not a problem.
	It's not a problem.
	Just telling you.
	It's been very dry in the Chicago area and they have no snow in the ground in January.
	Wow, that's unusual.
	We just had the 50th anniversary of the 67th blizzard where 23 inches of snow paralyzed the city.
	But all we got is gray and dry this year so far.
	Just wait.
	So how about a rain snow stick shake for us and a climate gate jingle?
	Congrats on your 900th show.
	Hope this donation made it in time.
	No, you missed by a...
	Okay, so she wants...
	Now, our rain sticks, which are official rain sticks, Sherry Osborne from Utah made them for us.
	They work.
	We are licensed to use these.
	I do not think that they produce snow.
	I don't think they produce snow, and I'm reluctant to use mine because we've had so much rain here.
	It's been very bad for the area.
	Then I'll just use mine because we have...
	Okay, that'll be half, and you're closer to her anyway, so it might be better.
	I won't use mine.
	And that's one, and that's two, and that's three.
	To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gate.
	There you go.
	Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
	Ho, ho.
	Todd Moss in Tempe, Arizona, also wrote in with a check.
	And he, let's see, this is his.
	He sent a Christmas card.
	Right on time.
	The cat on the cover saying no animals are harmed in the making of this Christmas card.
	Which I think is the way to redo it.
	What difference does it make?
	Birthday card.
	Doesn't make any difference.
	Anytime you want.
	Okay.
	John and Adam, a huge douchebag as my donations are way behind.
	I hope this brings me back.
	Thanks for the great insight on issues that matter.
	Still looking for you on Southwest.
	Oh, Todd is the steward on Southwest Steward.
	Oh, right, right.
	He says, P.S. Tom Miller is a huge douche.
	Listener, but not paying yet.
	Tom Miller.
	So that means Tom Miller.
	Douchebag!
	And that's what he's asking for, I guess.
	He says, never mind, the cardio was just sitting around.
	So, yeah, Todd, so if you see, if you go to Southwest, and I fly Southwest.
	I fly Southwest a lot.
	I like it.
	My favorite area.
	Yeah, I like Southwest.
	I took Southwest to Detroit.
	And, um...
	You say that with such disgust.
	Detroit!
	No, but the Southwest is known for going up and down the coast, and then they have these cross-country flights.
	They do stop here and there, but it's cheaper by half.
	And I love the boarding process.
	And it's still a better flight than these other guys provide.
	And the boarding process is fabulous.
	I love that system.
	Yeah.
	And so one of these days you'll see me, I think, maybe, if he knows what I look like.
	Hmm.
	when you travel.
	Don Tommaso de Toronto from Kettleby, Ontario 34567 I'm proud of the donations from my fellow Canadians lately and only wish I could donate more show 900 was as excellent as ever and I'm donating just in case 901 is a little like Keep up the good work and karma for all.
	Thank you very much.
	We're good, sir.
	You've got karma.
	There you go.
	Mark Bargesi.
	Bargesi.
	33333.
	I don't know where he's from.
	To anyone who is not donating because you do not agree with something you heard on the show.
	Wow.
	I hope you don't agree with everything you hear on the show.
	That would be pathetic.
	Of course, these guys get a few things wrong.
	Big deal.
	If you agree with nothing you hear, then sure, don't donate.
	You're obviously insane.
	I'm not sure why you're even listening.
	Well, for the same reason I watch The View, obviously.
	Yeah.
	But if you get value, any value, 20%, 40%, 60%, donate something.
	This is important.
	Send in some ridiculous note if you need to.
	I was going to give you 200, but I only gave you 40%, so here's 80.
	You know what?
	Thank you for your $80.
	Enjoy a de-douching.
	It's effing refreshing.
	I'm going to de-douche it just for that.
	You've been de-douched.
	Yes, I feel fresh.
	Like a lily.
	Christopher Dolan in Brookland, Massachusetts.
	Yes?
	Yes.
	Is that you?
	I didn't say anything.
	Oh, I heard you go, uh-oh!
	And, like, something happened.
	No.
	Please give me a shot of karma for the ladies.
	And thank you for the best podcast in the universe.
	Yes.
	For the ladies.
	You've got karma.
	He's a ladies' man.
	He's a ladies' man.
	Ladies and ladies.
	Trevor Mudge.
	Sir Trevor Mudge, of course.
	I think it is, yeah.
	300.
	Can't listen live, unfortunately.
	I'll get the podcast tomorrow.
	Keep up the good work.
	Thank you, Sir Trev.
	Excuse me.
	Steven Pitzel.
	Now we're in our associates.
	Yes, we're an associate executive producers.
	We'll start with Steven Pitzel and then I'll jump up to John.
	Oh, I already did John from Parts of None.
	He was already good.
	Steven Pitzel, Stillwater, Oklahoma.

	No agenda nails it.
	Clip him, Dano.
	Thank you for pushing self-destruct.
	Open the pod bay door, hell.
	Soylent green is people!
	Inconceivable.
	Okay, these are edibles I believe we're dealing with here.
	Please de-douche the Trix rabbit of thorium.
	You've been de-douched.
	Alright, the Trix rabbit has been de-douched.
	Of thorium.
	Nice.
	I'm not absolutely sure what that note meant.
	It doesn't matter, but we...
	It was code, and now the Russians are attacking.
	Center is pleased, don't worry.
	John Overall in Victoria, BC. Another Victorian...
	Dear John and Adam, coming to you from the great white north in beautiful Victoria, BC, Canada.
	That's the capital, by the way, of BC, and it has a beautiful capital building.
	It's just dynamite.
	Great town.
	Go there.
	This donation is what will surely become my annual donation unless life gets much better.
	It might not be what you guys fully deserve, that's for sure, but it is what I can handle right now and comes from John Overall and the WP Plugins A to Z Podcast Go Podcasting.
	Oh!
	So there's a WP Plugins A to Z Podcast.
	Oh, I did not know.
	But that's probably pretty interesting.
	If you're a WordPress user, that's a WordPress we're talking about.
	Yeah.
	This donation of $207 to get me into the associate producer with $200 plus 7 to honor the show 901 on 2-5-2017 boils down to a 7 in numerology, which is the seeker, the thinker, the searcher of truth.
	Notice the capital I. The 7 doesn't take anything.
	The capital T. Oh.
	Libra office.
	Kern's like no one else.
	The seven doesn't take anything at face value.
	It's always trying to understand the underlying hidden truths.
	The seven knows that nothing is exactly as it seems, and that reality is often hidden behind illusions.
	We got a lot of crazy notes today.
	Love it!
	This is an honor of your show, always looking for the hidden truths in the media and breaking it down for people to understand it.
	And also coming off the big show, 900, this might help get you through it.
	It would be great to get a meet-up up here in Victoria, BC. It would be.
	I'll do it.
	I have a feeling it's going to happen.
	I love going there.
	Yeah, we know.
	You know, it was a lot better when there was an Eaton, though.
	It's a long story.
	Eaton shut down, and now Hudson Bay is buying Macy's after they bought Saks.
	It's interesting.
	Yeah, it's phenomenally interesting.
	Please give karma to all, and please play Just Send Your Cash.
	99 glitches and technical malfunction.
	Eventually going to be a nice John overall.
	John overall.
	All right, my friend.
	We just need cash.
	I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
	Just send your cash.
	If you have computer problems, I feel bad for you, son.
	I got 99 problems, but a glitch ain't one.
	Technical malfunction!
	You've got karma.
	Well, apparently I wasn't paying attention.
	I didn't even know that clip existed or I forgot about it.
	Yeah, I just said I haven't played that one in a long time.

	So he put risers and all in his truck.
	Oh, Texas.
	Pushed the thing up in the air, and he can't afford to donate.

	And that concludes our little group of well-wishers, associate executive producers, and executive producers for show 901, including a few people from 900 that just got carried over.
	I want to thank them all.
	And remind you, we've got another show coming up on Thursday, dvorak.org.
	That's right.
	And another thank you segment coming up later on in the program, which will be for people over $50.
	And again, for Thursday's show, dvorak.org.
	Slash N-A. If you're hearing Gitmo Nation proper, you know today is an excellent opportunity to propagate the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Shut up, slaves.
	Oops.
	A little misfire there.
	A little misfire.
	Why did that misfire so badly?
	Strange.
	You got a mouse in your pocket.
	Hey, let me tell you, I got my new mouse.
	I'm very happy with it.
	I got the magic mouse.
	I got one of those pads with wrist support, and it's really making the show much more streamlined today.
	Really?
	Yes, yes.
	Very, very, very, very pleased with it.
	On Thursday's show, you mentioned that you believe the Oval Office or the White House may be bugged.
	Yes.
	Probably with a camera, too.
	You may also recall that I immediately brought up the failed raid in Yemen.
	Right.
	Where the Marine died.
	Yeah.
	So there was a report on it.
	There's actually two clips from a longer report.
	I did want to play this for you just to reiterate the information we received about this.
	President Trump's enemies within the administration continue an unprecedented level of leaking for a presidency that is not yet two weeks old.
	There are new leaks tonight about the president's role in launching a mission in Yemen in which U.S. Navy SEAL William Owens became the first American killed in Yemen.
	Reuters reports U.S. military officials told Reuters that Trump approved his first covert counterterrorism operation without sufficient intelligence, ground support, or adequate backup preparations.
	As a result, Three officials said the attacking SEAL team found itself dropping onto a reinforced Al-Qaeda base defended by landmine snipers and a larger than expected contingent of heavily armed Islamist extremists.
	Now let's stop right there.
	So the insinuation here is that President Trump didn't have enough intel and just said, Ah, go for it, boys!
	What did the chiefs of staff, what did the joint chiefs bring him?
	Did they not bring him a complete...
	I mean, there were three officials who said this, which is great.
	When you just claim that the most leaks ever, 97% of all journalists agree that this is the White House with the most leaks ever.
	Three officials said this.
	Three officials.
	Now, what you need to know is that this raid was an Obama-planned raid.
	They knew all about it.
	They set this up.
	This was pre-planned before Trump came into office.
	Yes, in fact, we had Monaco, that woman who sounds like Susan Rice and everybody else that worked in the White House, talk about it.
	I have a clip from, it's called the Yemen story, CBS, a crock is the name of the clip, and it has CBS, which is the Central Intelligence Agency Broadcasting System, has kind of rewritten the narrative of I mean, you have to remember that the whole Yemen thing is a response.
	Let's just put it, the whole Yemen thing is fucked, okay?
	It's totally ruined, but it's a response, the whole thing is a response to the Houthis kicking out our guy.
	And then, so we cut the Saudis who wanted to do some military practicing.
	We let them go kill civilians in trying to get these Houthis to, you know, I don't know.
	And it bodes mentioning we're doing this at the behest of the Saudis.
	So we were only doing refueling, and now we have boots on the ground killing people.
	Yeah.
	Well, they've reframed it, because CBS would do that.
	And here's the way the story goes now.
	Ryan Owens, a Navy SEAL, was killed on Sunday in the raid against al-Qaeda in Yemen.
	Many civilians died, other Americans were wounded, and a U.S. aircraft was lost.
	Yesterday, the White House declared the raid a success, quote, by all standards when you look at the totality of what was gained.
	But today's proof of intelligence gained turns out to be a video that the Pentagon could have more easily obtained online, where it has been for the last 10 years.
	David Martin on the threat of al-Qaeda in Yemen.
	The raid which left an al-Qaeda camp riddled with bullet holes may have been just the opening round of a new military campaign against al-Qaeda in Yemen.
	Lisa Monaco, who served as President Obama's Homeland Security Advisor, told Charlie Rose she was briefed on the operation before she left office.
	The White House was presented in the waning weeks of the Obama administration a broad proposal, so not a single raid, a single operation on a single target, a broad proposal for increased military operations in Yemen.
	Of all the branches of al-Qaeda, the one in Yemen is considered most dedicated to launching an attack against the American homeland.
	So the Pentagon waited for a moonless night and last weekend sent SEAL Team 6 into a remote al-Qaeda hideout.
	The SEALs landed a few miles away and tried to sneak up on it but were detected and began taking heavy fire.
	They called in helicopter gunships to silence the fire coming from a building.
	But civilians, including some children, were also inside.
	No longer pinned down, the SEALs moved through the buildings, killing 14 al-Qaeda fighters and collecting hard drives, laptops, and cell phones.
	In an attempt to show results, the U.S. military released what it called a sample of the intelligence collected on the raid.
	But it turned out to be old news, a video of a bomb-making class which has been on the Internet for years.
	Military officers insisted the raid also produced what they called actionable intelligence, meaning information that can be used to break up terrorist plots.
	But that may require more raids into Yemen and more casualties.
	Scott?
	David Martin at the Pentagon.
	Wow, that's very interesting.
	Here I have the quote from WAPO. Here we go.
	Obama administration aides had deliberated extensively over the proposed operation, weighing the value of any information that might be recovered against the risk to the special operations forces plunging into hostile territory.
	It was, in fact, the Obama administration that thought the risk would be worth the reward of the intel.
	But no.
	It's stupid Donald Trump.
	You see?
	And, as a full-on quid pro quo, what were the Republicans definitely harping about with Osama Bin Laden's killing?
	That Obama was asleep or he was playing cards or something like that?
	Wasn't that the golf thing?
	No, it wasn't golfing.
	It was something, though.
	Yeah, he wasn't there.
	Yeah, he was asleep.
	He was playing cards.
	Well, now they're going to pull that on Trump.
	And, of course, this is true.
	U.S. Central Command said in a statement that a team is investigating civilian casualties that occurred in that incident.
	There are other leaks indicating that the president was at dinner when he made the decision to approve the raid.
	Even Kellyanne Conway would not deny that tonight.
	So that account in the paper today where it had his son-in-law there and he had Steve Bannon there.
	That's talking about a dinner.
	That's not an execution.
	It sounded like that's where he made the decision.
	That's not true?
	That is one instance, that is one event where he received the counsel of different people.
	But there were other people around the table, including his secretaries and generals and certainly his vice president.
	So he didn't make the call at dinner?
	Right?
	I can't reveal any of the call.
	I can tell you that as President, as Commander-in-Chief, he takes the job very seriously and executes on that as appropriate.
	Yeah, Kellyanne, you should give it a rest.
	You know, the other thing, let's just stop and go back and look at that, listen to that CBS, not listen to it, but just reconsider it.
	When does all of a sudden this civil war that's broken out because of the Houthis, which is supported by the Iranians, now all of a sudden Al-Qaeda, When did Al-Qaeda, which has supposedly been defeated, and they're all gone?
	No, this is Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
	That's what they're called up there in Yemen.
	Again.
	But these are the Houthis they're fighting.
	I'm sure of it.
	There's no way that there is.
	I know that.
	What?
	Of course I know that, but that doesn't play well.
	So they got this new narrative.
	That's why I said this whole thing is bullcrap.
	Then you have this, here's another example that stemmed out of this whole thing.
	This is the Spicer, you know, the depressed guy.
	Sweaty Sean.
	Sweaty Sean.
	Place Sean's gaffe.
	White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer falsely claimed Thursday that Iran attacked a U.S. naval vessel, which, if it were true, would constitute an active war.
	In fact, Spicer was referring to a Houthi rebel attack against a Saudi ship off the coast of Yemen on Monday.
	This is White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
	I think General Flynn was really clear yesterday that Iran has violated the joint resolution, that Iran's additional hostile actions that it took against our Navy vessel are ones that we are very clear are not going to sit by and take.
	This false claim comes after National Security Advisor Michael Flynn condemned Iran's recent ballistic missile test launch and said the U.S. is putting Iran on notice.
	This morning, President Trump tweeted, quote, Iran is playing with fire.
	They don't appreciate how kind President Obama was to them.
	Not me.
	Now, a couple things.
	One, she goes, this was a lie.
	If what he was referring to was that attack, it was a gaffe.
	It wasn't a lie.
	Gaffes are not lies.
	But I think he was referring to the attack that did take place some months before the presidential election where a naval vessel, that little skiff or whatever it was, was grabbed by the Iranians and these Americans had to hold their hands over their head and it was a humiliation and all the rest of it.
	That's what he was talking about.
	Yes.
	Because nobody else brought this up.
	Except democracy now.
	Well, why would we?
	That would be completely agreeing with Sweaty Sean.
	We can't have that.
	Anyway, the point is, this whole thing is being rewritten.
	It's being massaged.
	The media is mostly responsible.
	And this...
	The true story about the Houthis and all the rest of it needs to really, why don't they, where does Al-Qaeda come back into the picture?
	And then the bullcrap that was on CBS where the guy says, which is why I call this clip a crock, says, oh, the reason they're doing this is because Yemen, give me a break, Yemen is the biggest threat to our country.
	That's what he said.
	They're idiots.
	They're idiots.
	All we're doing, I mean, up until now, we've just been sending our drones from Djibouti, which is why they're located in Djibouti, across the Gulf there.
	Now we got boots on the ground.
	Thanks, Obama, because that was your plan.
	Thanks, Obama.
	But okay.
	Trump, he was eating dinner with the Jew son-in-law, with the fake Jew daughter, and they said, ah, kill him, whatever.
	Annoying.
	But there's more...
	Exactly.
	That's the way they're portraying it.
	There's more leaks in the White House.
	Part of the problem that Trump is now suffering from is that there are a variety of different people with different kinds of motivations to want to leak.
	One set of people, and I think there's a large group of these, who, especially people like Kellyanne Conway, I'm not accusing her of leaking, but people understand something that Kellyanne understood very early on, which was that the way to temper Trump's behavior, the way to get him to understand a point, is if he sees it on television.
	If he sees it in the press...
	She has said that publicly.
	Yes, she has.
	And so, again, not accusing her of leaking, but saying...
	You're going to love this theory.
	Okay, so they're about to explain it.
	Why people in the White House, why this is the most leaky White House of all time is for one reason and one reason only, John.
	Members around him know that if you want to get through to him, you don't write him a memo, you don't try to talk to him about it, you try to get people on television to talk about him.
	And so there are those who are leaking to try to get his behavior to be better.
	There are others around him, clearly, and people who are more institutionally aligned, people who are more part of the Washington establishment who are now in the administration, people who are maybe part of the permanent government, Who are alarmed by Trump's behavior.
	And they are not speaking to Trump.
	They are speaking to the outside world and trying to make it clear to everyone in America and Democrats and other Republicans and all of us just how alarming some of the behavior that they see is, at least in their eyes.
	And when you are caught in that crossfire, you have people leaking who think they're trying to help you and people who are leaking to hurt you.
	That is a bad place to be.
	And you know the one thing that's going on right now.
	It is making Donald Trump mental.
	No!
	It's making him mental!
	That's what it is.
	Because they want to tell him something and they can't write him a memo.
	They have to get it on TV, you see.
	They should have said TMZ. That would have been even better.
	Wow.
	That's a good one.
	It's not just wow.
	These guys are just going nuts.
	It's a head shaker, man.
	It's a head shaker, I tell you.
	Well, I'll stick with my original thesis, which is the bugs in the White House and he's going to have to deal with it.
	What he put in when Obama left, I'm sure that he brought his...
	What else are you going to do yet?
	You're in the White House now.
	Okay, I'm in the White House.
	Your buddy, Hillary, who you don't really like, but you still like the party.
	At least she should be the president and deal with that when it comes along.
	Yeah.
	But then all of a sudden Trump wins and you say, this idiot's going to be in here.
	And so you bring in the top guys from the CIA or NSA, NSA would probably be pretty good, with the top new bugs.
	The new stuff.
	The stuff that doesn't, you know, I don't know even how it works.
	We don't know because it's the stuff that only they have.
	It's like a drop.
	It's like a pinprick size thing.
	And you plant them all over the place.
	Yeah.
	I'd do it.
	Yeah.
	And then walk out of there saying, yeah, da-da-da-da-da, bye.
	Hey, have a nice time in the White House.
	Good luck, everybody.
	Why wouldn't you do that?
	Obama hates Trump.
	Yeah.
	No, I would presume that he would have the place swept, but who knows?
	Well, there may be some new bugs that you can't sweep.
	I mean, it's possible that you have to pretty much...
	Steam clean the whole room.
	I mean, I don't know what you'd have to do.
	Well, while we're kind of also talking about fake news, there's a movement underway to actually outlaw and make punishable fake news by changing it into something called fraud news.
	And this is...
	Let me see.
	Who's the guy behind this?
	A lawyer, of course.
	He's suggesting that the Federal Trade Commission can use its authority to protect consumers from fraudulent advertising claims in order to fight the existence of fake news.
	Suggesting that by classifying disprovable media claims as fraudulent, the government has the authority to intervene.
	Fraud is not considered protected speech.
	This would be FTC, I would assume.
	Yes, FTC.
	So he made his case in a piece for the New Jersey State Bar Association and says, to follow First Amendment precedents, the framework could limit the FTC to only regulate posted articles, not seeking prior restraints against future articles and to only regulate businesses devoted to fraud news.
	Legally, a focus on deceptive businesses keeps the FTC in the ballpark of commercial speech patrolling deceptive practices taken in pursuit of commerce.
	During the election, the most popular fraud news sites were launched by business people, often abroad, enticed by the market online for political views.
	They were trying to make money, not express any particular view.
	Okay, I want to stop you.
	Because over the weekend, the University of California Department of Journalism had a fake news seminar.
	Ooh, lovely.
	It was a panel.
	I didn't record anything from it because it was a snooze fest, but I could relate some of the things that I learned.
	Okay.
	Now, they're making the distinction between fake news and what Trump calls fake news.
	In other words, CNN would not be considered fake news, but a guy who actually writes fictional stories, and this woman who did an expose on some podcast, NPR podcast, discussed the main guy.
	This is the guy, if you remember, this was some, I think in November we talked about him.
	This is the guy who was the big Hillary supporter, which was ironic.
	And he's the one who started a number of newspapers.
	I think the Denver Guardian was one of them.
	Oh, yes.
	He was the one who wrote the story that this FBI agent was investigating the Clinton Foundation and was dead.
	And it was just an implication that the Clintons killed him because of the Clinton dead list.
	And it was a complete fabrication.
	And this guy started these websites because he talked to this woman.
	She interviewed him.
	Even though he's a Hillary supporter, he started his websites to show the stupidness of how the internet propagates this bad information.
	And he was doing it kind of as an experiment.
	Then he started making money.
	To the point of like 10 grand a month or 20 grand a month.
	So he kept doing it, opening more sites and pretty much helped sink Hillary's campaign.
	But they're deciding that that's the fake news that they want to talk about.
	They don't want to talk about the slanted news that you get on CNN and MSNBC, which is as fake as anything.
	For instance, calling a travel ban a Muslim ban consistently.
	Which it just isn't.
	By definition, by their definition, the only thing that they want to address is this guy's style of fake news where you just make up a complete story full of cloth.
	Which they believe is rampant.
	Yeah, they believe it's rampant.
	I don't think it's rampant.
	Is that a ball?
	That's a ping pong ball.
	No idea why, but I do like it.
	It's a ping pong ball at the end.
	It's kind of nice.
	Well, speaking of fake news, the clock boy was in court.
	Oh, God.
	A little reminder about clock boy.
	Clock boy in, I think it was in Texas.
	I want to say it was Garland, Texas.
	Muhammad.
	And he came to school with a clock and was detained briefly because it looked like a bomb and there was a whole fracas.
	And then, of course, the The president said, oh, cool clock, dude.
	Come on by the White House.
	And he got all kinds of free education offers from Berkeley.
	Yeah.
	Not Berkeley.
	I know of.
	So he and his father, more correctly, had taken Ben Shapiro, a journalist, to court.
	Over this.
	It was a defamation lawsuit that Mohammed filed in October 2015 after Shapiro, actually on the Kelly file, questioned Ahmed's stories and motives surrounding a clock he brought to school that looked like a bomb.
	And, of course, we had the Council on American-Islamic Relations involved.
	Everybody was all over this.
	And the judge says, nah, no way.
	Got thrown out, and clock boy has to now pay for attorney fees, court costs, and other expenses.
	Good.
	Yeah, very good.
	I did not like these people.
	His father was really the problem.
	That kid is just a dumb kid.
	Like most dumb kids.
	He's just a dumb kid.
	Seems like a good idea at the time.
	But that totally, that was totally fake news.
	What isn't fake news, but which is just hilarious, is this meme that's going around about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
	Oh?
	Yes, the...
	So somewhere someone said, or it started off by, oh my god, we gotta keep her alive.
	We gotta keep his man.
	Oh yeah, there's that going on.
	I know that.
	And she has to eat kale.
	Yes, that's exactly it.
	We hope she eats more kale.
	So, have more kale.
	Have more kale.
	Have more kale.
	Can she eat more kale?
	Hordes of liberals want reassurance.
	RBG's health is good.
	You will obey.
	You will obey.
	And the tweets, the tweets like, have you gotten a flu shot yet?
	Be careful of salmonella.
	Don't walk on slippery ice.
	But can she eat more kale?
	You know, if you want to kill someone, have them eat kale.
	Yeah, that'll do it.
	That's your death warrant right there.
	I don't want this poor lady to die.
	But you gotta stop.
	Oh, oh, oh, I got a note.
	A note about...
	Where was this note?
	Before we leave, I was just going to say, one of our producers, his wife works, she worked for four years, I think, as a CPAP professional, and according to his wife, even if you press the green button and it goes off at night, the machine goes off, the likelihood that you would die from that, according to her, and I'll take her experience, is practically zero.
	That's what I would think.
	But if you remember, there was supposedly a pillow on his head.
	That was the part that was a little annoying.
	They kind of dropped that part of the conversation.
	Yeah, it's no longer important.
	Yeah, here it is.
	Yeah, she's a respiratory therapist.
	Six years' experience.
	Before we leave the fake news thing, I don't remember what this looks about, but it's my miscellaneous fake news comment on PBS. Hold on a second.
	Yeah.
	I got it here.
	And John, you mentioned Twitter.
	The president has continued to be active on Twitter this morning, tweeting again about that phone conversation that he had, a reportedly heated conversation with the prime minister of Australia, and then another one about, of all people, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
	That's right.
	I'll take them in order.
	The Prime Minister of Australia said that the phone call was candid and frank, which of course is diplomatic language often for a shouting match.
	But he did say, contrary to reports, that Mr.
	Trump did not hang up on him.
	So Mr.
	Trump thanked him for straightening that out and called the original reports fake news.
	Oh, that's funny.
	I have a little bit of Euroland news that comes kind of in two parts.
	There was a big meeting in Malta over the weekend.
	All the EU muckety-mucks were hanging out and taking pictures.
	Although, if you look at some of the video, the pictures were just very brief.
	And then they all ran away from Theresa May.
	And as part of this weekend...
	They all agreed.
	I have it in...
	The original report is in Dutch, but here it is.
	Donald Tusk.
	He is, of course, currently the president.
	Tusk.
	Tusk.
	Tusk Wallet in Malta.
	He said...
	There's going to be a proposed Rome Declaration.
	Now this will take place in March on the anniversary of the Treaty of Rome.
	And at this Rome Declaration, the document that will be signed urges leaders to commit to, quote, greater unity in foreign policy and more investments in our defense and further deepening the economic and monetary union.
	Which, of course, is exactly the reasons why the UK wanted to get out.
	So they're going to pledge allegiance to the European unions.
	Yeah.
	And that will be on the...
	This is a surprise of the no-agender...
	No-agenders.
	The no-agenders, yeah.
	Now, as part of...
	As part of some research into this, I came across a document that was actually sent to me by Paul Pierdemont.
	And this is the report, the EU migrant report, which was released in 2009.
	And in it, it states very clearly, I'm translating on the fly from the Dutch version, according to Eurostat, the European Union is graying In a medium to short term.
	That means they're getting older.
	With as a consequence, an expected diminishing professional population that could diminish by 50 million in 2060.
	Immigration must function as an important...
	What is the word?
	An important...
	Bolstering device.
	There you go.
	Bolstering device for good economic results in the EU. Right.
	And they subsequently call for...
	Here it is.
	Point number 13.
	To recall and to memorialize the agreement that by 2050, the commission expects to have 60, that's 6-0 million migrants working in the EU. Yeah, all Muslims.
	Yeah.
	60 million.
	6-0.
	Yeah, that will be when the EU... I mean, there's a lot of radical Islamists who have had maps of...
	What country is going to go Muslim first and then second?
	Well, I have a clue.
	Great Britain was on the path to be first.
	Well, Germany was supposed to be first, if I recall that.
	No, I thought France was going to beat them.
	Well, here's a little clip to see how the progress is going with the 50 million migrants, 60 million migrants.
	Italy and the EU have pledged to finance migrant camps in Libya.
	Leaders meeting in Malta back the move.
	They've been thrashing out ways of stemming flows of people from Africa.
	We will agree on a very relevant package.
	This is Modarini.
	This woman, you got to pay attention to her.
	She is cold, man.
	I don't think she has a heart or a soul.
	This woman is cold.
	She looks like the typical technocrat bureaucrat who has never worked a day in her life in the commercial sector.
	It has expensive crap on and talks as if, you know, oh, well, please, you have to understand.
	You don't know crap, you stupid citizen.
	We'll take care of you.
	What was the thing?
	What was that term that we learned earlier?
	Yeah, I don't remember it.
	Yeah, the parent, the...
	Hold on, I just want to...
	The parens patriae, that's it.
	...irrelevant package of measures that will help us manage the flows better, save lives, in partnership with the UN agencies, UNHCR and IOM, in Libya, in the countries of origin, having a strong external European initiative to decrease and avoid loss of lives.
	Donald Trump's also on the minds of leaders.
	The American president's put Europe on edge with what's described as worrying declarations.
	Those who would like to establish bilateral relations with the U.S. are understood, he says.
	But there is no future with Trump if there's not a common approach.
	Leaders have also been planning for a post-Brexit Europe at the summit, but only after Theresa May had left the room.
	She's gone.
	Okay.
	She's gone.
	Unbelievable.
	You know, that guy we have, our guy that's supposed to be the ambassador to the EU, Moloch.
	Moloch, yeah.
	He had, they don't, now they're trying to Tusk and the others don't want him because of that snide remark.
	It wasn't snide, it was just kind of a funny comment.
	What was the comment again?
	It was that, man, you know, I used to be the ambassador to the Soviet Union and they fell apart and maybe this other operation needs to think twice about its viability kind of thing.
	That's not what he said.
	He just said that you use a piece of crap is what he said.
	But here is, unfortunately, the clip is called M-I-K-O-C-H. Yeah, I got it.
	I got it.
	And here he is talking a little more in depth about how he would...
	Work with the EU and what he thinks should be going on.
	I don't think he's going to get the job.
	The world would be a better place if we could have a different relationship between Western Europe, the United States, and Russia.
	Russia is not the Soviet Union.
	I can underscore that if I need to.
	So if we were to take actually a different scenario and say in two years, in three years, in four years, we could improve those relations, wouldn't the world be a much better place if we had defeated ISIS? If we had solved the problem of the civil war,
	which is so sad in Syria, if we had actually had a plebiscite, a fair one, with international standards in Crimea, if the situation in Ukraine had been actually brought to a very good solution, and if the Baltic states felt more comfortable, and if those sanctions were removed, would not the world be a better place?
	Do you reject the Kremlin's view that there was a plebiscite in Crimea?
	I think that it might be necessary to have a fair and open plebiscite.
	This is something open for discussion with international observers.
	Okay, I see why they don't like him.
	It's not the program.
	It's not what we're trying to do here.
	No, just get on board with the program.
	You know, the more I think about it, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Rome Agreement, specifically for the financial union, I mean, that's a date you can really look forward to.
	They're going to do something pretty radical, I think, with the banks.
	It's all about the banks.
	All about the money, this.
	Well, we'll see.
	Your No Agenda show will be all over it, obviously.
	Of course we will.
	The Independent now reporting that Donald Trump has forsaken his duty and obligation and the headline, Angela Merkel is now the leader of the free world and not Donald Trump.
	Oh yeah, sure.
	Wait, wait, wait, wait.
	Let me read the subtext.
	Boy, what do you call it?
	The second, the little headline?
	What do you call that?
	What is that called in the publishing?
	Oh, the subhead.
	Subhead.
	The U.S. president isn't motivated by protecting liberal democracy or freedom.
	His sole ideology is Trumpism, colon, corporate autocracy with a populist facade.
	And he surrounds himself with white nationalists even more hostile to liberal democracy than he is.
	What was this?
	This is The Independent.
	Oh, The Independent's the worst.
	Yeah, but people read it.
	And they look, they have Trump haters from before, you know, they're just horrible people.
	It's really independent of anything.
	And they have another one of those graphs about polling data with her approval ratings versus Trump's.
	Get a new script.
	Angela Merkel.
	Oh, yes.
	Well, fine.
	They were also obviously anti-Brexit.
	Same time, Puerto Rico is going to try.
	They're going to try it again.
	They approved a measure on Friday to hold another referendum to become a state.
	Set for June 11th.
	Yeah, sorry Puerto Rico.
	That's not going to happen ever.
	Did you miss what happened when we let the banks come in and the IMF and cornhole you?
	It's not going to happen.
	Remember the president apologized?
	Hey, sorry we're screwing you, but what else are you going to do?
	I don't see how they can get this through.
	This is a desperate attempt.
	No.
	Well, we'll see.
	So I'm listening, you know, this guy that does all these interviewed man on the street stuff, Waters, is on Fox.
	Jesse Waters.
	Yeah, he's, you know, Tina likes him.
	I like him too.
	Well, he's got, you know, he's got that look, that funny face that is like always a perpetual smile.
	It's hard not to like the guy.
	Well, also, the man on the street, he does a twist on the man on the street stuff, which I like, is he'll edit in little...
	Little snippets of movies of people making faces or being surprised or stuff like that.
	I like it.
	It's not bad.
	He's got this woman whose last name is Kiefer.
	Kelly Kiefer.
	Something like that.
	She's like a blonde...
	I think he's...
	I don't know.
	It seems to me a little fishy that she's even on a show.
	And I mean that in a sexual context.
	Yeah.
	But she's kind of nervous.
	She's not very good at all.
	But she has a little interesting piccadillo.
	I'm going to play a clip.
	You'll spot it.
	Whoa, stop.
	What's a piccadillo?
	Piccadillo's like a little flaw.
	Or a little thing.
	It's a little thing-a-ding.
	Look it up.
	But she's got this little, interesting little, and you'll hear it, but then I want to make you hear it twice.
	But start with, this is the clip, is Waters World Dingbat, which is, I guess, not complimentary to her.
	Zero.
	Do you think Zarese is saying, listen...
	Putin does dirty things.
	America sometimes does some nasty things in the dark shadows in order to further our national interests.
	Which one do you think it is?
	Right.
	Well, as much as Trump seems to love controversy, I really do think that he's being pragmatic.
	I'm actually smart in this situation because we have to have strong foreign relations.
	And it's much better for him to come out and say that I respect Putin, not personally or as a friend, but I am willing to work with him.
	Because, in fact, that's saying that Trump respects the American people.
	Because he's going to work with Russia rather than brush them aside.
	And he's also not going to be a Russia whisperer.
	Russia Whisperer.
	Did you catch a little Peccadillo?
	Well, I was actually...
	It's actually Peccadillo.
	Peccadillo.
	I was looking it up.
	It's a slight offense, a Peccadillo.
	Did you catch it?
	No, I didn't catch it.
	I was looking up Peccadillo.
	Well, maybe you can catch it in a clip, too, because she does it again.
	He loves America.
	You can tell that from the way he talks and the way he carries himself.
	He wants to make this country a better place, and he's going to do that by building friendships with other countries, and you do that through diplomacy and by saying, I respect you.
	He doesn't mean that he wants to go out and play golf with Putin or that he wants to play golf in Russia.
	He's not going to have Russian vodka.
	Maybe they play hockey or something.
	She said Putin!
	She said Putin twice.
	It is spreading.
	Putin.
	Putin.
	When I heard it the first time, I said, what is wrong with this woman?
	Besides saying that Trump, she says Putin.
	And then she said it again.
	She probably said it a few more times.
	Poo-in.
	Here is ground zero of Poo-in, Liz Wall.
	Poo-in.
	Poo-in.
	There you go.
	That's her.
	Poo-in.
	That's...
	I don't...
	Why is that?
	There's a T in there, lady.
	But why are they not pronouncing the T? This is very strange.
	I haven't been harping on this, but I've been getting clips.
	I'm not putting them on the show necessarily, but I'm going to start doing them more.
	Where I'm hearing kitten.
	I'm hearing kitten.
	And there's a whole bunch of these.
	There's not just those few.
	There's like a lot of them.
	People were refusing to pronounce those T's in the middle of a word.
	I have arets.
	Sorry.
	No, it's in the middle.
	Oh, in the middle of one.
	It's always in the middle.
	It's not the beginning.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	The T is always pronounced, but if it was tut-tets, you'd pronounce it tut-ets.
	Well, we keep our eye on this.
	It's troubling because we have a whole other faction that we're pronouncing the T's to an extreme.
	Important.
	Important.
	I know, so there's a battle going on.
	This is another fractal of the split.
	Oh, you're right.
	That's exactly what it is.
	But the question is, in which fractal do people live?
	Fractal.
	Are you in the...
	If you...
	Pronounce your T's.
	Are you in one world versus not?
	I mean, we have to check this out.
	I think it's true.
	We're not in the world of the Putin people.
	Important.
	It's important.
	Let's see.
	This is what we concentrate on in the No Agenda show.
	Idiosyncrasies.
	It's important.
	Good thing we're not in Thailand.
	Thai media organizations are protesting a bill that would require journalists to be licensed and would establish a council that can penalize news outlets for violating professional standards.
	Oh, yes.
	This is just the first country to go.
	Well, Brazil already has that, and so do a lot of other countries.
	What other countries have for a license?
	Yeah, you can be a writer in Brazil, but if you're a journalist and you call yourself one, you need a license.
	Hmm.
	It's not worth getting, apparently, from people I know that are down there.
	But this was the way it's going to happen.
	It's going to be, well, it's a First Amendment, First Amendment, First Amendment.
	Yes, it's a First Amendment thing.
	Anyone who wants to be a journalist can call themselves a journalist.
	But what's going to happen, I've said it before, I'll say it again.
	There'll be a professional organization similar to the Bar Association where you'll go in through there and get a license.
	So you're a licensed journalist.
	You're licensed by the Journalistic Bar Association to write.
	And what will happen – but you can still – there's still a First Amendment.
	But you won't get hired without the paper.
	You will not get hired.
	And it's possible that if you put up a blog or something and you don't have the license, the ISP may just not allow the blog to be sent around.
	They'll be sued to shut you down.
	Well, that risk is inherent to all in the media.
	That, of course, could happen to us.
	Of course, having a journalist in our midst, you, John, that we would probably get the license.
	We have the podcast license, but it's concerning.
	And it's bound to happen, and why wouldn't?
	In fact, your whole leverage right here is a fake news thing.
	That's exactly right.
	The fake slash fraud news.
	It's going that way, and we're tracking it for you.
	That's right.
	Fraud news.
	And we are able to do this because we don't take any corporate money.
	You're the producer, and here's proof.
	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 in the morning.
	I want to thank a few people.
	Let's start with the made goods on some of them, which, whether they're made goods or not, we're going to mention them again.
	Joseph Hatch, $111.11.
	And he's going to be a knight.
	Do we have him down as a knight?
	Or was he a knight?
	Sir Venti, Defensor, Lucem?
	No, I don't think so.
	Hmm.
	No, in fact, we don't have any nights here today.
	Well, let's put this guy on the list.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	second.
	What am I getting here?
	What am I looking at?
	What am I looking at?
	Name.
	Joseph Hatch at the top.
	Oh, okay.
	That's why I couldn't find it.
	Okay, Joseph Hatch.
	Got it.
	He's $111.11.
	And he wants a jingle.
	Yeah, I got it.
	He wants two to the head.
	Wait a minute.
	Cerventi Defensor Lucem at Veritatum?
	Is that how you pronounce it?
	Yeah, I think so.
	Two to the head now.
	Okay, Joseph Hatch.
	I'll put it in right now while you continue.
	Alright, then we go down to the other ones that will be on here.
	It will be Dennis Woods, $90.
	Parts Unknown, Mark Hudson, $55.00.
	Otley, West Yorkshire.
	And he's clearing out his PayPal account, which is a thing people can do.
	You know, a lot of people have PayPal accounts and they never clear them out.
	That's a good tip.
	Onward, Anonymous, $112.35.
	And he's a shout-out to Jarl Sagan, who recommended No Agenda to him.
	All right.
	Something about Javelins, I don't get.
	John Robinet, $100.
	Sir John the Brewer, $99.99.
	Three cheers.
	Daniel Kepler in Phoenix, Arizona.
	99.99.
	A few leftover 90s and pluses.
	Corey Padesky in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
	90.90.
	Arthur Gobitz, our buddy in Zondam.
	90.10.
	Sir Arthur Gobitz.
	Sir Arthur.
	Kevin Drazich.
	90.10.
	By the way, Gobitz says, keep me sane.
	Keep me sane.
	No.
	And anonymous.
	He's a dedouching, a donation after several months of listening.
	I guess he's a newbie.
	90.
	You don't really need a dedouching if it came in that soon.
	Charles Borchetti in Incheon, Korea.
	Oh, wow.
	90.09.
	Interesting.
	All right.
	Rebecca Nelson, 9009, from Albuquerque, New Mexico.
	Hey!
	And happy anniversary.
	She has an anniversary?
	Yeah, she's with Jeffrey.
	Jeffrey Toheg.
	Oh, right, right, right.
	Yeah.
	Jim Bennett in Toronto, Ontario, 9009.
	Sandy Block, 9009.
	Dame Patricia of Brisbane Bay in Florida sent in a card.
	Nice card.
	Was it a Christmas card or a birthday card?
	No, it was just a hand-made card.
	It doesn't say anything.
	But it's got a little butterfly on the front.
	Breaking protocol.
	Congratulations on 900 Shows for a liberating activity.
	Mm-hmm.
	Liberating activity.
	Okay.
	Oh, liberating activity for your listeners.
	They can only wish for a continued for another 900 Dame Patricia.
	And it's a cute little card.
	It'll go up on the wall.
	Oh, nice.
	Chris Shuler.
	And that's the end of our 90 carryover.
	You know, Chris says something interesting.
	He's $80.53 from Wellington, New Zealand.
	His donation is to celebrate one of the greatest audio inventions of our lifetime by Dr.
	Amar Bose.
	The 901 speaker on episode 901.
	Go Patriots!
	Well, there's a lot of controversy over those speakers and bows.
	Well, it's more jingle than boobs.
	We got two.
	A long jingle for...
	Black Knight of Sir Lineman of the Net in Anna, Illinois, boob.
	And Kenneth Learman Jr.
	I think it's Learman in San Diego.
	That's two boobs.
	Marianne Barr in Greenwood, Indiana, 70.
	She's got some sort of a call out here.
	Somebody's a douchebag because it's printed in red.
	I'm not seeing it.
	I can read this if you want.
	Oh yeah, okay, now I got it.
	Our late husband, Joe Barr, who passed away last week on his 70th birthday.
	Right, we talked about him.
	He spent four weeks in the hospital listening to your show.
	I think this was in the last week's show.
	Her thoughts that you were both hilarious.
	Since he was an English major back in college, he loved it when you were both to critique the poor use of the language.
	But that's over.
	Those days are over.
	On his last conscious day in the hopeful...
	In the hospital, not hopeful.
	In the hospital, I'm sorry.
	In the best podcast in the universe, he said he needed to get our donation for some karma, get de-douched, and call out our son as a douchebag because he hasn't yet donated.
	We have asked friends and family to donate to two groups, the Humane Society and the No Agenda podcast.
	We hope that this will help the show and propagate the formula.
	That was nice.
	Yeah, well, we're not going to call our son out as a douchebag, but we're going to give a de-douching and some karma, and thank you very much, Marianne.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	I'm so happy that he was listening to us right to the end there.
	That's, yes.
	I'm happy we made him happy, let's put it that way.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I feel good about it.
	Not that he died, though.
	Sir Inside Jobs, our buddy in Seattle, Washington, 6666.
	Roy Pingle, 5901.
	Hey, Trump, keep your tiny hands off my rights.
	From a handwritten sign at the West Palm Beach demo.
	Benjamin Garcia in La Habra, California, 5555.
	Ward Detweiler.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	Sir Kevin Payne in Chantilly, Virginia, 5432.
	Michael Gates, 5280.
	James Clancy, 51.
	James Von Acken in Temple, Texas, 51.
	Tony Merschel in Roseville, Minnesota, 5033.
	And the following people are $50 donors, beginning with Robert Bruckner, name and location.
	Robert Bruckner, Gilbert, Arizona.
	Lucas Lundy, parts unknown.
	Brian Klimczak in Bourne, Netherlands.
	Is it Bourne?
	Oh, I'm sorry, I got...
	No, Clemsax Parts Unknown.
	Harm Veenstra.
	Feenstra.
	In Bourne.
	I'm not familiar with Bourne.
	I'm familiar with Harm Feenstra, but I don't recall Bourne.
	I don't know...
	It's Bourne.
	Hmm.
	Mark Mills in Parksville, British Columbia.
	Another one of our buddies up in BC. We're going to have a good meet-up up there.
	Hell yeah.
	Adam, who knew?
	Adam Beck in Lost Wages, Nevada.
	Matthew Januszewski.
	Sir Matthew, I think, in Chicago.
	And last but not least, two more.
	Sir Baron of the Diamond District.
	Oh, right.
	He's the Diamond District Baron, Alan Bean, our buddy in Oakland.
	Writes in a check every month.
	And Sir Brian Brett, Sir Brett Farrell, our other buddy in Oklahoma City.
	Lovely.
	All righty.
	It's a really good group.
	We want to thank them all.
	Yes, and we thank everybody who came in.
	Under $50, typically, that's for reasons of anonymity, or if you're on one of our packages.
	A lot of people love the knighthood layaway.
	It takes a while, but we have those nights.
	Also, the podcast license has a $33 a month, and I have a couple, I guess, I got a backlog.
	People are sending me their requests now.
	When you send a request for the podcast license, if you're on the podcast license deal...
	Please send me, because it's a subdomain, so it's something.podcastlicense.com, so maybe it's your last name, your first name, first name, last name, whatever it is, let me know what that is, and if you want that link to go anywhere, because it's a link.
	It's not just any old bullcrap license.
	I mean, there's something real going on here.
	DNS records are being created.
	Holy crap!
	And DNSSEC records.
	DNSSEC. Just to have you know that.
	We don't mess around here.

	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Nice list today.
	Desi Dude celebrating, well, celebrated yesterday.
	We say happy birthday to him.
	James Clance, he says happy birthday to his oldest daughter, Ella.
	Jonathan Aldridge, happy birthday to his daughter, Tessa, turned one yesterday.
	And Sir Thomas Kilbride sent me a nice note.
	He turned 79 on, I think it's Tuesday, on February 8th.
	It'll be Wednesday.
	And he'll be sending off a photo of his smoking hot wife as well, John.
	So be on the lookout for that.
	Happy birthday for all your buddies here at The Best Podcast.
	In the universe!
	It's your birthday, yeah!
	I like that little kind of announcer bit.
	The announcer at a wrestling match.
	You do that when you need to switch to the other screen full of jingles for the closing part of the donut hole.
	It's a broadcasting trick.
	I will let everybody know.
	Here we go.
	Might as well just...
	Full transparency, everybody.
	Here's how it works.
	I have two jingles.
	I have this, and I just start that one, right?
	And that just goes on.
	Now that just goes on and on and on.
	It's a continuous loop if we have a really long birthday segment.
	And then I have a closer jingle, which is a stinger.
	Now, they're on the same jingle page.
	Don't make me explain that.
	I'd switch back prematurely, so I had to switch back, because then I hit it like this, and I talk over it.
	You see?
	That's how it works.
	A little tip for you baby podcasters out there.
	No.
	Just so you know.
	And you're getting a tip from the best.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	Title changes.
	Title changes.
	Only one today, but of course it is a good one.
	Sir Joseph Hatch becomes...
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Interesting.
	Now this is confusing to me, John.
	I have Sir Joseph Hatch...
	As a title change from Eric, but we put him as a knight on our...
	We just did that.
	Is he already a knight, and is he now becoming a baronet, or what is happening?
	Well, I'm looking at that thing, the note he sent here, and it looks like it should be a knight.
	Has he been knighted before?
	I don't remember that.
	I don't think...
	Well, then it's...
	He has a title change, it's just a change from nothing to a title, so let's screw that.
	Let's give him a thing, and then he can straighten it out with us.
	Exactly.
	Ow!
	Thank you, that...
	All right then, Joseph Hatch, step on up!
	You're getting a two for today somehow.
	I'm not quite sure how that works, but happy to do it.
	And this is the celebration that we always look forward to.

	Yes, we appreciate it.
	Do you have any tech news?
	Otherwise we wouldn't be doing the show.
	Do you have any tech news?
	You want to do tech news?
	Well, I have something, but it's not really worth the jingle.
	I just wondered if you had any...
	Not really.
	Oh, then I'll just mention this as a bumper sticker.
	A bumper sticker idea.
	This happened to me.
	Now, you have Netflix?
	You got the Netflix?
	I do have the Netflix, but I do not have the 4K Netflix.
	Yeah, I got the 4K Netflix.
	That's badass.
	Wait, I think a review of this would be in order.
	Oh, okay.
	I can also review my new monitor.
	Well, then I can review my new mouse pad.
	You already did.
	Here's the, first of all, Netflix, I got the TV that has it built in, and you have to have the right device, because then Netflix will give you a message saying, hey, you can do 4K! That'll cost you extra.
	Wilbur?
	Yes, and then you sign up and you get extra.
	How much does it cost?
	I think it's an extra two bucks a month.
	Yeah, it's well worth it.
	Is the quality that much better?
	Oh, the quality, yeah.
	I think it's noticeable.
	Amazon kind of screws you, though, with the 4K. Because you also have to have the 4K device for Amazon to give you the 4K option.
	And they have this whole section, 4K movies, which you can't rent.
	You can buy them.
	And they're like 20 bucks.
	Oh, that's no good.
	20 bucks.
	Ah, forget it.
	Exactly, that's what I said.
	So when you start up Netflix, I don't know if you have this, but we have a screen, and on our screen it says Adam, Tina, and then for some reason kids.
	Not that we have any kids in the household.
	And so I fired it up, and I'm like, I'm just going to log into, I just clicked the button, and she says, you're logging into my thing.
	I said, yeah, so?
	She said, don't taint my algo, bro.
	There's your bumper sticker.
	Well, first of all, let's stop there.
	The CEO of Netflix himself said that it's fine to share accounts.
	In fact, that you have two accounts, the two of you.
	No, we don't have two accounts.
	It's one account with separate logins.
	But if I log into her account and I start watching stuff, then it'll mess up her algorithm and she'll get the wrong things recommended.
	Like, you know, car shows.
	I thought it was something worth mentioning that algos can be tainted by friends and family.
	I think that's the idea.
	No, that's not the idea.
	The idea is to have your own algorithm.
	That's your tech news?
	That's why I said I didn't want the jingle.
	I didn't make any big point about it.
	No, I agree.
	I'm with you on that, but I'm still disappointed.
	Okay, let's talk about your monitor, which has successfully gotten you to misread at least five names.
	That monitor must be dynamite, that thing.
	I can't wait.
	It sucks, man.
	All right, screw it.
	Let's do some undercover video, then.
	Okay.
	Brand new Project Veritas.
	This is the James O'Keefe outfit.
	Always entertaining.
	Always entertaining.
	And, you know, one of the main things...
	And they were out on the street again.
	And they're getting...
	You know...
	You have this local Austin charity.
	I'll just repeat it briefly.
	It's an NGO. It's a non-governmental organization, a non-profit.
	And they hire college kids.
	They hire them for I don't know how much an hour.
	I think there may be a bounty for each person they sign up.
	And they throw on...
	That's typical.
	Yeah, well, they throw on the t-shirt for whatever they're there, and they got a little iPad, and they act as if they are working with that organization, whether it's Save the Children or Planned Parenthood or ACLU. Actually, the ACLU, there was a new gambit.
	Of this weekend, they had a whole bunch of black guys dressed up sharp, sharp suits, but the suits were almost identical with all the ties, had diagonal stripes.
	But they were ties, they were little bow ties like the black Muslims.
	They could have improved it with that.
	But these guys, they did a really good job.
	And this was for ACLU, and of course, I was just ready for that, so I engaged a little bit.
	I really appreciate it, but you don't actually work for ACLU. And the guy was nice about it.
	But most kids, they're getting a little annoying.
	They try these kid tactics.
	You walk up and you see them already, and they try to engage you.
	They're like, hey, you're really tall!
	You know, that kind of stuff.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	That kind of stuff.
	So what was my point?
	What was I going to say?
	You're good.
	You lost me.
	Ah, damn it.
	There was something important.
	Oh, yes.
	Okay.
	So Project Veritas.
	Back to Planned Parenthood.
	So one of the main defenses of Planned Parenthood for it to receive governmental funding through Medicare was Medicare or Medicaid?
	I think it's Medicare.
	Is that they perform all kinds of services for reproductive health.
	And there's always been a contentious argument over do they provide breast exams or not, mammography, and that's kind of, I'm not sure what the answer is, but for sure you would expect if they provide reproductive health that you should be able to get a ultrasound from them, don't you think?
	How's my baby doing?
	Is this where this is going?
	This is where this is going, yes.
	So I can be contentious and say, I don't think so.
	You don't think so?
	I don't think so.
	They actually do ultrasound.
	Well, good for them.
	Under one condition.
	You have to get an abortion.
	That's correct.
	Project Veritas called...
	No!
	Yes, Project Veritas called or walked into...
	And if you see the video, they have all the states where they went into these Planned Parenthood and asked the same question.
	I was kind of hoping for an ultrasound because I would love to have the pictures, make sure the baby's healthy and stuff like that, see the gender.
	We won't be able to tell you if it's healthy or the gender.
	If you're...
	We specialize in abortions.
	You know, that's what our ultrasounds are for, to see how far along the patient is.
	Do you do any ultrasounds in your clinic at all?
	We do, but not as standalone.
	What do you mean?
	We don't do them by themselves.
	What do you do them with?
	We do them when performing abortion procedures.
	Okay, so you said that they use ultrasounds for terminations only.
	We tell you you're pregnant and we also let pepper.
	Let's do the abortions.
	Okay.
	So other than a pregnancy test, I heard you guys had ultrasounds.
	Would it be possible to get an ultrasound to just check that the baby's healthy?
	No.
	Not something we offer.
	Oh, okay.
	You don't offer...
	I thought you did offer ultrasounds, but maybe I was confused.
	Well, we do have to do an I mean, I can just keep going.
	It's the same thing over and over.
	Yeah, I guess you go over and over.
	Just to prove it, because everyone thinks these are rigged.
	Yeah.
	That's terrible.
	It kind of is.
	That's gross.
	So they do ultrasounds, but they won't tell you the gender of the baby, or if the baby's healthy.
	Just, okay, this is still in time to abort it.
	Huh.
	Yeah.
	If anything, it's bad optics for them.
	Well, all the stuff that these Veritas guys do is bad optics.
	Designed to get bad optics.
	I'm surprised people don't really appreciate them much.
	These are evil people going out there and getting these videos, you could say.
	Yeah.
	And then the latest one that really got me was the one about selling the baby parts.
	That's an old one.
	That's an old one.
	Yeah, I'm just saying, though, that meme that came out, you know, another one of these bogus memes that shows up just to keep people from realizing what was going on, which was that it was highly edited.
	Yes.
	Deceptively edited.
	You saw the original...
	We saw all of it.
	I have to say, there was definitely one thing.
	They messed it up.
	They put in a shot of a fetus in a bowl.
	And that was video from something else.
	You do that.
	Well, that must be highly edited.
	It's deceptively edited.
	Was the overall message distorted?
	No, I don't think so.
	I certainly don't think so.
	There's a new meme someone sent to me.
	Factually challenged.
	Here's the longer context.
	Back to you, I mean, he actually didn't answer O'Reilly's question there.
	No, not at all.
	And the fact is that Trump and his team are really factually challenged.
	Factually challenged.
	I like it.
	I like it.
	Factually challenged.
	Factually challenged.
	You've got to say it right, though.
	Factually challenged.
	There you go.
	Now, I've caught something that was kind of odd.
	Play this.
	This is a very short clip, obviously.
	It's only 92K. But I just think it's inappropriate.
	Okay.
	This is the clip in the house.
	In the house.
	And this is Pence.
	Ah.
	Leonard Leo, everybody, is in the house.
	Ha ha ha.
	Ha ha ha.
	What is he, a rapper?
	You know, the only thing he does, he does very well at reinforcing the brand.
	I saw an interview with him.
	He's great.
	He's great at reinforcing the brand.
	But he is, you know, please, let's not have anything happen to Trump and have this guy be our president because he's boring.
	He starts off and you want to like him and he's like, oh, shut up.
	You're boring me to tears.
	He's boring.
	He's got that same kind of look all the time on his face.
	He's not as bad as Kerry.
	No.
	Because he's not pompous.
	Right.
	But, I mean, what is it like?
	Arsenio Pence, everybody!
	Leonard Lee, everybody.
	He's in the house.
	In the house.
	Arsenio Pence.
	That's his new name, Arsenio Pence.
	In the house.
	In the house.
	By the way, it was an auditorium, so it wasn't even a house.
	That's an Obama-ism.
	Obama could get away with that.
	Yeah, he's a hip cat.
	Very hip cat.
	You kidding me?
	Here's a clip.
	Here's a clip.
	Got one.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Let's play the hate app.
	I like cute kittens.
	I like history.
	I like hiking.
	But who cares?
	What matters now is who you hate.
	You think you've seen it all in the world of matchmaking?
	Think again.
	Love through hate is the motto of a new app called Hater.
	That's right, a Tinder-like dating app that matches you with the people that hate the same things you hate.
	Just think again.
	Of the possibilities.
	Well, let's give it a try, shall we?
	I hate Wall Street.
	Oh, look how many haters there are just like me!
	But, no thanks, my wife will not approve of this.
	And then, of course, the most trending hater topic on the app is...
	Drumroll, please!
	Ta-da!
	President Trump.
	Which is interesting, since the app came out just shortly after Trump took office.
	But hey, perhaps it's this new wave of hate the country has been engulfed in.
	Who knows?
	like hate crimes, hate speech, and of course, hating Justin Bieber.
	But the peak of this hate movement was really the 2016 elections.
	I mean, come on, we had people bashing Trump for hating on Mexicans, women, Muslims, while the Clinton supporters were, of course, hating on the Russians, and even on your average white folk.
	F*** Donald Trump!
	What exactly?
	Hold on a second, I want to get this, Applin.
	Let me see.
	Hate app.
	Is it just called Hate?
	You want to get this app?
	I want to see what it's about.
	John, if there's anything that we do here on the No Agenda show, if we go that one step further to find out what's going on.
	I don't see the Hate app on iOS.
	There is no Hate app.
	This is fake news.
	No, it's fake news.
	I do not see a Hate app.
	I see I hate my job.
	How about Hater?
	Maybe there's something here with Hater.
	If someone has it, Hater App Inc., maybe that's it.
	Let's see.
	Hater.
	Oh yeah, this is it.
	Hater.
	Okay, let's get this app.
	Install.
	Ha ha!
	There we go.
	This is how it begins.
	Okay, let's see.
	That's another social media thing you're going to get stuck in.
	Oh yeah, it's going to be emailing my address book to everybody.
	I'm sure it's going to be great.
	Hey everybody, get ready.
	I just downloaded that app.
	Let's open it up.
	Let's see what it says.
	Let's see the hater.
	Oh, logging with Facebook.
	Oh, that's always guaranteed to track your ass.
	Good, I'll do that.
	Yes.
	That's another point, since we're talking tech news, this really bugs me more than anything.
	Logging in with Facebook.
	Are you Facebook?
	Is your product Facebook?
	Are you Facebook?
	Why am I logging in with Facebook if you're not Facebook?
	So they can grab it.
	Because they get your social graph.
	So a lot of people are giving in, they have you, you can log in with your own email.
	But there are apps and sites out there where you don't have that option.
	It's either Facebook or hit the road.
	This is a dumb app.
	It's the end of my...
	This is a dumb app.
	It's the hater app.
	So you have to swipe Shia LaBeouf.
	Okay, I hate him, so I swipe down.
	Good.
	Staying with relatives.
	They're profiling you.
	Yeah, of course.
	The Bachelor.
	Hate down.
	44% hate.
	You're a good hater.
	You hate a lot.
	Tom Brady.
	I don't hate Tom Brady.
	I'll give him a somewhat like.
	Butt selfies.
	I love those.
	Are you kidding me?
	Swipe right.
	Socializing with co-workers.
	I hate that.
	You do.
	Sour beer.
	Love that.
	That's a dumb app.
	You like sour beer?
	No.
	It's completely stupid.
	I wanted to hear more of these questions and find out more about you.
	I think a lot of listeners would.
	Okay.
	Then we'll both answer.
	Staying up late.
	I don't hate that.
	I don't hate it either.
	I like that too.
	Step counts.
	I hate that.
	What's that?
	I hate that.
	Sunbathing.
	I'm not a big fan.
	I'm out on that.
	I got light skin.
	Taking the scenic route.
	All in.
	Love that.
	Love the scenic route.
	We're in agreement here.
	This is not good.
	Tinder.
	I don't use Tinder.
	I don't use Tinder either.
	So I'm going to say I don't use it.
	Tipping less than 15%.
	Yeah, that's douchey.
	But that depends.
	If someone sucked, in the middle.
	What do you think?
	I would go along with what you said.
	Twitter?
	I love Twitter.
	Love Twitter, okay.
	But I'd be glad to get off of it, so I should say hate.
	UFC? I hate it.
	I'm in the middle.
	Alright, this is completely dumb.
	I do have a final, well actually I have some ClimateGate clips if we want to get to it.
	But this has precedence.
	The war on men, as we know, is big.
	It's real, it's here, it's happening.
	What is?
	The war on men.
	Oh yeah.
	The feminization of males...
	We have been talking about this for many years.
	Oh yeah.
	And this story comes from RT, take it with a grain of salt you want, but the reason why it came to my attention is because they highlighted the Netherlands when they protested against Trump, actually when they did the Women's March, so this was the day after the inauguration, women all over the world marched.
	Not just women, but men.
	And in the Netherlands, specifically, as they point out here, and it happened in other places, many men who marched with women put skirts on.
	They wore skirts to show their...
	Kilts.
	No, skirts.
	Not kilts.
	Actual skirts.
	Women's skirts.
	To show their solidarity.
	Oh yeah, that shows it.
	It does, it does.
	I think they should have just cut their nuts off.
	That'd show it too, don't you think?
	There is a Danish journalist, and she's also a talk radio host, who was interviewed in this bit for RT, Iben Thranholm, and she says this is a very big problem.
	We have incredible issues with what is happening to men.
	We talked about Thranholm a couple shows ago.
	Well, here she is.
	Men in minis.
	This was the reaction by some Dutch protesters to recent mass sexual attacks in Germany, taking a stand in skirts.
	It was on the same day as the Women's March, but I guess they had a different motive.
	But will it solve the problem?
	Iban, I get the message about women.
	They are not the problem.
	What message will this send to the men who attacked?
	Well, when we see this video, it's exactly the core problem.
	Many men are acting like women, and those men from those Foreign countries, asylum seekers, they don't respect women.
	So when men act like women, I mean, we do have a problem because we have no masculine power in our society to fight back this male aggressive culture.
	I think if you look at our politicians, they're very soft.
	They're like mothers.
	I mean, they're embracing, they're inclusive, and they talk about how we should embrace refugees.
	Of course, we should help people that are in need.
	But, I mean, they can't deal with the rapings, they can't deal with terrorism.
	So, I mean, European politicians look very weak, and that's because our culture has become feminized.
	This militant feminism that has been going on for decades, now we see the consequences that many men here are brought up to be women and think like women and be soft-minded.
	But that is what Europe is about.
	That is part of European qualities that the European Union promotes.
	It talks about promoting at least all the time.
	And these refugees are coming.
	Remember, it's RT. And to Europe, shouldn't they adapt to that?
	Well, I think that was not what Europe used to be.
	I mean, normally we have had, like, male hero virtues.
	And, you know, a culture needs to be balanced.
	It's fine that we have women's rights, and I really defend them.
	But I think a culture to be balanced and to work out well, you need to have both the masculine part and the feminine part.
	And now the masculine part is lost.
	And we see the consequences.
	We see how the postmodern values are just a construction.
	And it's a very fragile fundament.
	And now we see that we don't have any male that can stand up, who can fight, who can fight back those male aggressions that we are facing.
	So the vacuum that feminism has created means that women are becoming victims of those male aggressions.
	Maybe this secular humanism is just an illusion, because it doesn't work.
	I mean, we see that women are threatened.
	In many centers for people that come as refugees, we have violence against Christians, rapings.
	I mean, and our politicians don't know how to deal with it.
	You see that the terrorist has the upper hand.
	I mean, our leaders cannot protect our culture because they don't know how to be masculine.
	They don't know how to fight back because they don't dare to.
	And I think it's a huge problem.
	So we need a sort of male revolution.
	You know, it's very simple.
	It means that men need to take responsibility to go back to the old male virtues, to defend the women, the children, and the culture.
	Because now, I mean, this postmodern project is dead.
	It doesn't work.
	And if we continue to be, like, soft and we have this idea that there is no evil, everybody is nice if they just get a car and a job, and they get well integrated, everything is fine.
	It's not going to work.
	Sounds like the EU to me.
	She is under attack by the Danish parliament.
	I'll bet she is.
	I'll bet she's under attack by everybody.
	And she has been accused of being a Russian stooge.
	Oh, of course.
	Because she shows up on RT all the time.
	Yeah, she's a Putin lover.
	Putin.
	Putin lover.
	But she is funny.
	That's classic from her.
	Everything she says and talks about is about that.
	I like that.
	I like it.
	It made me chuckle.
	I enjoyed it.
	Here's from the Bill Maher show.
	They had the CFR guy, the head of the Council on Foreign Relations as a sit-down guest.
	Wait, was this the show I saw Tommy Lahren was on it?
	Was she on the show?
	No, I don't think this was the Tommy show.
	I think Tommy came the next week.
	I haven't seen that one yet.
	This is a guy, the CFR guy, and Maher is just so all in on the global thing.
	He doesn't give a crap about sovereignty of the United States.
	That's because he's always borderline nodding his head the whole time this guy is going on and on and on.
	And he's from the big drinking club, Council on Foreign Relations.
	Nice.
	Yeah, well, maybe more to it than that.
	Which you always assert.
	Let's listen to what he has to say.
	Okay, here we go.
	We want them to do well economically.
	Over the last few years, more Mexicans have left and have come in.
	So this is working.
	So why do you want to change it?
	Plus, if you really do want to renegotiate, Bill, this is not exactly a way to get the Mexicans to show more flexibility.
	He wouldn't come here.
	Why do we think he's going to compromise?
	And also, Donald Trump has a 3% approval rating in Mexico.
	And they know who he is, you know, unlike some presidents when they first take office.
	They don't like Donald Trump.
	My question to you, and you would know this, is do we have enough leverage?
	I mean, I feel like he thinks it's 1945, and we can tell everybody in the world to do exactly what we want, and they will.
	And I think if he tries to pull this kind of stuff, Mexico will become hostile, every country will become hostile, and I don't think we have that kind of pull anymore.
	We don't.
	One of the reasons I wrote this book about a world in disarray is that's exactly right.
	What you've seen is a real spread of capacity.
	North Korea now has real capabilities.
	China obviously does.
	Russia does.
	We can't just insist on things.
	Plus, it's globalization now.
	We can't just make things work ourselves.
	We may do the right thing, but unless others also do the right thing, whether it's dealing with terrorism or cyber, you name it, alone, we don't have a lot of options.
	But we also learned this the hard way.
	We learned it in Iraq.
	We learned it in Vietnam.
	We may be stronger than anyone on paper, but bringing that to bear in practice is something very different.
	Right, and if we make the world If we make the world live without us, they might find they like it better.
	I actually argue the opposite.
	I think the world without us, it's not that anyone else replaces us.
	It's not that it works itself out.
	It actually begins to get really bad.
	I actually think a world left to its own devices will not sort itself out.
	That's probably right.
	We're seeing it in the Middle East.
	In some ways, the Middle East has much less of us.
	They didn't do so well when they had a lot of us, but they're also not doing so well when they have very little of us.
	We rebelize the place.
	We go in there, rebelize the place, and then we get out, and they say, look, there's no Americans.
	It's worse.
	It's terrible.
	If we had not butted it in in the first place, I'm sure it would be fine.
	Yeah, Tina's been reading my William Engdahl book.
	He's the professor that kind of got me started on the pipeline wars and all that.
	And he has a new book out.
	And she just, every like 10 minutes, she's like, oh my god, we're such assholes.
	You know what she should read?
	Who's Trade Organization?
	WTO. Who's Trade Organization?
	That is a...
	Are we reading it?
	Holy crap, is that book good.
	Who wrote it?
	This thing...
	Oh, this woman, it's a couple people, but this one woman, she's been, I get some clips from her because she was on...
	Yeah, that'd be good.
	She was on one of the C-SPAN things.
	It was a number of years ago, but they rerun it every once in a while.
	She just...
	Oh, good.
	She is just scoriates.
	She does it in a humorous way.
	She thinks it's ridiculous, but she's light.
	She's light-headed.
	Maybe she's light-hearted, I meant.
	All right, we have end of show mix coming up, and I do want to end from my side with a final no agenda tip, which, John, I wrote it down.
	We discussed it after the show on Thursday.
	Here's your tip.
	If you're looking for a TV, specifically a TV, My Italian nephew, Matteo, you know, this is a little bit of a story, but he said at a certain point, I want to do two things.
	What do you want to do?
	Three things.
	I want to go to Antone's record store.
	I want to go to Arby's, which was a whole thing by itself.
	You want to go to Arby's?
	The kid's Italian.
	I said, why?
	Oh, the commercial looked really good.
	I've never seen roast beef on a sandwich.
	I said, but Arby's is crap.
	Nah, he wanted it in the hat.
	It looks like Pharrell.
	I said, okay.
	So that was a horrible experience.
	Then we went to Antone's and we're rummaging through all the old 12 inches and, you know, the vinyl.
	And he says, you know what I really want?
	I want to go to a pawn shop.
	Pawn shop?
	Yeah, I would see the TV show.
	Yeah, you think there's gems at the pawn shop because you've seen the reality show about pawn shops?
	Okay.
	So we go to Pawn USA, our local branch.
	Holy crap!
	You can get 4K TVs for $190.
	New.
	The stuff that's at the pawn shop, these Pawn Stars, that's the name of the show.
	The stuff that's available is, I was blown.
	I almost bought a bike.
	I don't even want a bike.
	It's a beautiful mountain bike.
	I almost bought a bike.
	So this is a tip, people.
	Definitely go to your local pawn shop.
	There is a lot of good stuff.
	And that goes along with the depression that we're currently in.
	You just don't think that we're in a depression, but we are.
	And you see that at the pawn shop.
	All right.
	That is a tip.
	That's a good tip.
	The No Agenda Show provides tips like this constantly.
	Whatever you save on that TV, we expect a piece of that as a donation.
	It's worth the price of admission.
	Right there, everybody.
	Okay.
	Go Atlanta!
	It's the Braves.
	No, the Falcons.
	I threw that in.
	I threw it in.
	Just a joke.
	I know it's the Falcons.
	And what color will the Gatorade be?
	Will it be orange?
	Just to piss off the president?
	Or will it be purple?
	For the revolution.
	It could be blue.
	Or for the resistance.
	Who knows?
	There's blue.
	Anyway.
	We'll be back on Thursday.

	The board takes the unprecedented...
	The first time in its history of moving the clock hand 30 seconds closer to midnight.
	Today we move the clock a half minute closer to midnight.
	It is now two and a half minutes to midnight.
	Since the clock was started in 1947, it's only changed 22 times in 70 years.
	Today marks the 23rd.
	It is now two and a half minutes to midnight.
	The clock has hovered this close to midnight three times.
	The 1950s when the U.S. and Russia tested the hydrogen bomb.
	The 1980s during the Reagan era.
	And today...
	It is now two and a half minutes to midnight.
	The board concludes in no uncertain terms that words matter.
	Two and a half minutes to midnight.
	Parkway forward 30 seconds.
	Prepped a lack of action on climate change.
	It is now two and a half minutes to midnight.
	The board concludes in no uncertain terms that words matter.
	Two and a half minutes to midnight.
	The clock moved forward 30 seconds after a lack of action on climate change.
	It is now two and a half minutes to midnight.
	Factually challenging.
	Avoid CPAPs and small aviation.
	That's what we need in the world.
	We are right.
	And I feel like that's what's so much.
	The wrong side of this.
	It's better if we have no borders.
	I don't understand.
	Years ago, six species of humans lived in the world.
	It's better if we have people who are politically correct.
	Now, you want safe spaces.
	Well, your white body is a safe space.
	In a way that Africa...
	It's only, I guess, 200 years.
	Surgery!
	We'll be right back.
	That's in Russia, tested the hydrogen bomb.
	Ah, we're just one.
	Ah, we're just one.
	We all mess in Russia tested the hydrogen bomb.
	Your white body is the same.
	The clock has hovered this close to midnight.
	American, Latino, women's bus.
	So when I'm so genuine, I've actually truly done the investigative process.
	How is it?
	Get rid of the beach.
	And the introspection that you might not have been proselytizing so much of what you were saying since you have tested the hydrogen bomb.
	The introspection that you...
	The lack of action on climate change.
	And...
	You might...
	I want you...
	I want you...
	She fought so much for human rights.
	And I... And the best is...
