	And it sounded like she had hooves.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, February 9, 2017.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 902.
	This is No Agenda.
	The elites fail where we prevail.
	And we're broadcasting live from the darkest corners of the internet here in downtown Austin Tejas, the capital of the drone star.
	Stay in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where there's an app for that, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crack Vaughn and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	There is?
	I thought I'd bring an old cliche back.
	There's an app for that.
	Hey.
	In the morning to you, sir.
	In the morning to you, in the morning all ships to sea.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	A little early.
	Yeah, let's start off with...
	Oops, I don't know what is going on here.
	This is odd.
	Well, then let's set the stage with this.
	Why don't we just...
	Oh.
	Okay, hold on.
	My show notes page is weird.
	Hold on a second, John.
	What is going on?
	We can't do the show without show notes, man.
	All right, you got a clip while I'm doing this?
	You got a clip for us to play to get us started?
	Here's a continuous clip.
	This is a compilation clip that was done.
	I believe it was done.
	I'm not even sure who it was done by, but it was maybe CNN, which doesn't make sense.
	But this is the bing, bing, boom, boom, bong, bong, bong Trump compilation.
	Bing, bing.
	I love it.
	I love it.
	I'm sitting there tweeting.
	Bing, bing, bing.
	You press a button.
	Bing, bing.
	They all hand you checks.
	Bing, bing, bing, bing.
	We had our beautiful Marines standing there.
	Bing, bing, bing, bing.
	You know, in the old days, bing, bong.
	You know, with the map.
	Bing, bing, bing.
	Little mouth on him.
	Bing, bing, bing.
	Bing, bing, bing, bing.
	Bing, bing, bing.
	The cleaning up.
	Fix it up.
	Bing, bing, bing.
	A 14-point plan.
	Bing, bing, bing.
	Anthony Weiner.
	You know, the little bing, bing, bing.
	Everyone's attacked me has gone.
	Bing.
	Everyone else, bing.
	Where have they gone?
	Bing!
	Wow!
	What a tackle!
	Bing!
	Playing cards!
	Bing!
	Those tunnels!
	Bing!
	Boom!
	Right under the toilet!
	Bing!
	Boom!
	Right up!
	Bing!
	Like a rocket ship, except in the wrong direction.
	I'd fly over, drop him right on top.
	You know, just...
	Bing!
	They want me to use the pump!
	Because the other one, which I really like better than going bing, bing, bing.
	It's like puppets.
	Bing, bing.
	Bing, bing, bong, bong, bing, bing, bing.
	The bing, bing, bang, bang, bong.
	I was imitating puppets, and I said, maybe I shouldn't do that anymore.
	Bye, bing.
	Bing, that's the end of that.
	You know, it's the only thing you can say.
	Bingo, boom, boom, shakalaka, boom, boom, boom, boom, shakalaka, boom, boom.
	All right, very nice opener, John.
	Thank you.
	Let us talk briefly about the LI Super Bowl.
	LI. LI Super Bowl.
	Now, would you like to hear my analysis of the game?
	Since I am the most...
	When was that game?
	It was last week.
	Sunday.
	It was on Sunday, after our show.
	Yeah, it was, right.
	So my analysis, here's what happened.
	We know that Trump was all in for New England because he's friends with Brady and the coach.
	No, no, the owner.
	Owner.
	That's what I mean.
	An owner.
	And the elites go all the way.
	They're like, we're going to crush this guy.
	We're going to crush him.
	We're going to have the black guys crush the white guys.
	Although they had a white quarterback as well.
	It was kind of milk toasty and you didn't see much of him.
	They didn't talk about him.
	It was like that guy was not important.
	He's the MVP for the league.
	It's not important.
	When I saw the Atlanta Braves, Falcons, I'm just messing with you.
	When I saw them, it was third down, 33 yards.
	The clock was at 0-3 for the play clock, and they failed.
	That's when I knew it was going to turn.
	And I should have taken a picture.
	It was third down, 33 yards, 0-3 seconds.
	Oh, I see what you're saying.
	And that failed, and that's when they came back.
	And it proves that the president has a slight, but has a little edge over the elites at the time being.
	Okay, I like it.
	Definitely a lot of threes in that one play, you're right.
	That's the play where they got, I think he got sacked on that play.
	Yes.
	And that was the end of it, because it was in this field goal range.
	They could have kicked a field goal.
	There's no way.
	How about him hitting the post on the field goal, huh?
	You don't see that often.
	I think it was the extra point.
	Yeah, whatever.
	Conversion, whatever it is.
	Well, you do see it more often than you think.
	You don't watch a lot of football.
	You see it a lot.
	That's correct.
	But you never see it where it makes such a noise.
	Yeah, that was a good one.
	Boom!
	Now, of course, everybody was expecting Lady Gaga.
	To use her Super Bowl halftime show to send a political message to the president.
	Now, I feel that she actually did...
	I liked it a lot.
	It was a great, entertaining bit.
	Of course...
	I thought it was the best I've ever seen.
	Yeah, and everything she did was actually political.
	It was just done with her music in a good way.
	Yeah, she had...
	Born This Way.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Saying God Bless America.
	By the way, did you see that...
	She jumped off a cliff.
	That was fantastic.
	Yes.
	America the Beautiful and God Bless America are slowly taking over the anthem.
	That was interesting how many times that popped up.
	And the drones.
	I thought the drones in swarm formation behind Lady Gaga was pretty interesting.
	That was a good one.
	That was very good.
	Forming the flag.
	If you read the Los Angeles Times, everyone's so disappointed.
	What a missed opportunity.
	Here is Good Morning America's entertainment contributor Larry Haggett.
	Well, I kind of wish we were sitting here talking about something incredibly provocative, maybe even outrageous that she would have done that would have been something that was appropriate for the moment.
	I said last week that I thought she would be political.
	She clearly decided to rely on the lyrics of her songs, right?
	She said she was going to do that.
	And her body of work is what is inclusive and what she's singing about.
	I know there are people who think the Super Bowl shouldn't be political and shouldn't be a venue for that.
	The President of the United States was speaking in the pregame.
	Our entire world right now is political, and she has built her career on that.
	I'm not saying it had to be something, you know, incredibly explicit or overt, but she has made her life making incredible entrances, wearing meat suits, just doing things that we all raised our eyebrows about.
	This had a certain coolness to it that, again, was very entertaining, but I kept waiting for something that I didn't expect to happen that would have made people gasp.
	People need to gasp.
	I'm happy she didn't do that.
	Why?
	The possibility for ruining her career is quite high.
	Why would she do this?
	What's the benefit to her?
	Because that's what you do as a woman.
	And as you know, all creative people are Democrats.
	Liberals.
	Oh yeah, that's right.
	Well, you learned that last week.
	Yes, from John Legend.
	We learned that.
	Well, it's true.
	It's so true.
	Saturday Night Live, big program here in the U.S. of States.
	Gitmo Nation.
	I don't know if you saw the show.
	I, of course, caught the replay.
	We probably could have talked about this on Sunday, but I don't think either of us saw it.
	What's her face?
	So far, so good.
	What's her face?
	Yeah, she did Sweaty Sean Spicer is what she did.
	Oh, yeah.
	Melissa McCarthy.
	I did see that bit.
	You just gotta listen to what the mainstream was...
	It's a comedy show.
	You know, and it's like, you know, they're already claiming, best rating since November!
	Yeah, they got a 2.3 in the 1834 demo.
	Sorry, it's not really all that super duper.
	But on the mainstream, here's CNN. Overall, I don't know if you guys agree with me, I was a little more subdued.
	It's the post-Melissa McCarthy.
	Exactly.
	It really was.
	He seemed a little bit.
	Very clear that the McCarthy improvisation on Saturday Night Live really affected...
	Improvisation on Saturday Night Live?
	When did they ever do that?
	What is she talking about, improvisation?
	Does she know what it means?
	No, she doesn't, no.
	But the point is, he's saying, sweaty Sean Spicer is now affected by it.
	It has affected him.
	So he's changed his tune.
	It really was.
	He seemed a little bit very clear that the McCarthy improvisation on Saturday Night Live really affected Sean.
	And I think he was trying to kind of tone it down today to a great degree.
	Oh yes, MSNBC's thought the same thing.
	I think the most interesting thing today was that Spicer didn't make news himself, and that's the first time he's done that.
	I don't think Melissa McCarthy's going to have as much material as she had last week if he keeps this up.
	But it was mostly political blather, as you'd expect.
	Well, he didn't mention Melissa McCarthy, for one thing, so there's that.
	You know, of the 2.3 rating they have, Saturday Night Live, in the 18 to 34, how many people do you think actually know who Sean Spicer is?
	None.
	Very, very small percentage.
	So it was purely political.
	I laughed my ass off.
	It didn't have the impact on the audience because of that lack of knowledge.
	Now, it did have an impact on the Hollywood elites.
	But, so, what's her name?
	Rosie O'Donnell.
	Oh, oh, you got something from Rosie?
	She comes out and she says, I don't have a clip.
	She comes out and she says, I thought that Melissa McCarthy's thing was great.
	Now she wants to go on the show also as a dude.
	Oh, well, there you go.
	Why not?
	Why not?
	I just think she's taking jobs away from men.
	It's unfair.
	Why don't you put someone in blackface and take the black guy's job while you're at it?
	I don't know.
	Seems logical to me.
	We'll get to the war on men later.
	I'd like to hop into the alternative universe that we've been tracking.
	I have a couple more examples that popped up.
	We need a sound effect.
	We do.
	Now, I did get jingles for Sanctuary City.
	I just don't have any Sanctuary City news today.
	But we could choose the jingle if you want.
	I got the sound effect.
	For going into the second dimension.
	All right.
	I got it here.
	All right, ladies and gentlemen, we are going into the alternative universe, and we start with Brian Williams.
	Nicole reminded me in the break, this alternative universe on the web also holds...
	It's on the web, John, just so you know.
	The alternative universe is on the web.
	Didn't you know?
	Well, I knew the web would be involved, but it wouldn't be on the web.
	Nicole reminded me in the break, this alternative universe on the web also holds that Sandy Hook was done by actors.
	They have it all figured out.
	They show you the vans and the actors arriving at that school.
	Just the most outlandish claim you can imagine after the suffering of those families.
	How do you process all this and keep it from getting slid into the truth category?
	Don't let it slide into the truth category.
	It's very, very difficult.
	Heidi's point about InfoWars is really, really important here.
	Because when I heard President Trump talk about all of the killers, I'm thinking, here's somebody who has been marinating for a long time in InfoWars.
	Yes, marinating in InfoWars, you see.
	He's been marinating.
	Marinating!
	Madge, you're soaking in it!
	Who has been marinating for a long time in Infowars, this sense that the U.S. government has all of these plots, but I never thought I would ever hear a Republican president of the United States say those things, buy into this false moral equivalency.
	False moral equivalency?
	How is any conspiracy theory a moral equivalency?
	I don't know.
	I'm glad you're here.
	These guys are just throwing, they get a buzz term, they use it.
	Yeah, yeah, what's wrong with that?
	And it's not just bias, it's a matter of being morally obtuse.
	Oh, morally obtuse.
	Morally obtuse?
	What does that mean?
	It's a show title.
	I'll write it down.
	Morally obtuse.
	Morally obtuse.
	I'm not just obtuse, I'm morally obtuse.
	What does that even mean?
	Well, we have to go to the Book of Knowledge to get it right.
	That would morally kind of...
	I think it means similar to obscure or kind of off-kilter, hard to understand.
	That's my guess.
	Okay, well I am going to the book of knowledge as we speak for the obtuse definition.
	Annoyingly insensitive or slow to understand.
	That's what it is.
	So, insensitive towards morals and slow to understand morals is how I would translate that.
	Morally obtuse.
	Yes.
	The definition of obtuse has nothing to do with morals.
	No.
	So, okay, I'm getting it.
	Yeah.
	Okay, I know what they're trying to mean.
	What are they trying to mean?
	They're trying to mean that there's an incentive that Trump, it's always about Trump no matter who they're talking about, doesn't get it.
	He doesn't understand there's certain things he's got, some rules and things he's got to obey.
	Ah, you mean protocol and...
	Protocol.
	Tradition.
	Tradition.
	Right, okay.
	I get it, I get it.
	He's Trump!
	He's Trump!
	The president!
	Alrighty.
	Brian Williams was talking to Nicole Wallace there, and she has her feet firmly planted in the alternate universe.
	See if you catch this.
	I know that he is reaching out to people who have experience in previous administrations.
	I'm not sure how some of those calls are being received, because people watch the news.
	They see what's happening, and people that have worked for actual presidents can't tell if he's serious about any of this.
	He's not an actual president, you see.
	How can you say that as a news professional?
	People have worked for an actual president.
	I'm sorry.
	This is just our puppet joke president.
	No, she is living...
	She's a marionette.
	She lives in an alternative universe.
	Yeah, she does.
	It's clear.
	So does Scott Pelley from CBS News.
	Trump told a U.S. military audience that there have been terrorist attacks that no one knows about because the media choose not to report them.
	It has been a busy day for presidential statements divorced from reality.
	Mr.
	Trump said this morning that any polls that show disapproval of his immigration ban are fake.
	He singled out a federal judge for ridicule after the judge suspended his ban, and Mr.
	Trump said that the ruling now means that anyone can enter the country.
	The president's claims, whether imaginary or fabricated, are now worrying even his backers, particularly after he insisted that millions of people voted illegally, giving Hillary Clinton her popular vote victory.
	There's not one state election official, Democrat or Republican, who supports that claim.
	Oh, man.
	Well, now, since you stepped on my area of expertise, CBS and Scott Pelley, I want to get a couple of these out of the way.
	I had a rundown clip, which I don't think you get the Western edition.
	Of CBS News?
	Yeah.
	No, I get the East Coast.
	Everything is East Coast.
	Everything.
	So, when our newscast...
	I do have it, I just don't watch it, obviously.
	This is the Western edition.
	That same exact story about the list was done...
	And they softened the story a little bit because they don't need to really hound the Western edition.
	They don't have to hound us out here because we know that Trump's not the real president.
	Yeah, he's not the actual president.
	So this is the butt-slamming that we heard instead of the one you just played.
	The leadership of committees like this to prepare them for what was coming.
	Yesterday, just hours after the president accused the press of covering up terrorism, the White House released a list of 78 attacks it claimed the media had intentionally chosen not to report.
	It included attacks that got extensive media coverage, like those in San Bernardino and Orlando.
	But it was riddled with typos, mentioned incidents that were not related to terrorism, and ignored many attacks in Israel, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
	The list also did not include a mass shooting last month by a white supremacist at a mosque in Quebec.
	Senior advisor Kellyanne Conway.
	President Trump has not said or tweeted one public word about this.
	You want to talk about ignoring terrorism?
	Why hasn't the president offered his sympathy to our neighbors in the North?
	I will ask him.
	He doesn't tweet about everything.
	He doesn't make a comment about everything.
	Conway did say that the White House was sad about the senseless loss of life and may discuss it with Canada's Prime Minister, who she said Scott could visit next week.
	Margaret Brennan at the White House.
	Well, also at the White House today, President Trump got his facts wrong again, this time in a meeting with a group of sheriff's officers.
	And yet the murder rate in our country is the highest it's been in 47 years, right?
	Did you know that?
	No.
	47 years.
	I used to use that.
	No, I'm pretty sure that's not true.
	Don't we know that it's the lowest ever?
	Am I crazy?
	Everyone's butt-slamming Trump.
	I'm sorry.
	47 years.
	I used to use that.
	I'd say that in a speech and everybody was surprised.
	Because the press doesn't tell it like it is.
	It wasn't to their advantage to say that.
	Well, FBI statistics show the president isn't just wrong, he has it backwards.
	Have a look.
	The fact is, the murder rate is close to the 57-year low that it hit in 2014 before it ticked up just a bit in 2015.
	Those are the most recent numbers available from the FBI. The president's false claim that the media are consciously under-reporting the murder rate That's what you wanted.
	Exactly.
	And there was a subtle little innuendo throughout all the reporting on CBS. My favorite, I'm only going to play the innuendo because there's no reason to play any of this.
	This is the CBS George Washington lie.
	...cabinet to be up and running since George Washington.
	Democrats argue there's a big difference between President Trump and President Washington, who famously could not tell a lie.
	Let's just explain this, because I don't think people outside of the United States know, and maybe not even the millennial generation.
	When I was growing up, you could not tell a lie, and that was always prefaced or followed by George Washington, the first president of the United States, chopped down the cherry tree, and his dad said, did you chop down that cherry tree, George Washington?
	And he said, I cannot tell a lie, for I chopped down the cherry tree.
	Cherry tree?
	Cherry tree, yes.
	Yeah, it was a cherry tree.
	And that's...
	Bullcrap story, if ever there was.
	And that is, again, not relevant.
	I don't think it's relevant to the new viewers.
	It was an outdated reference, I believe.
	And I... I knew the reference, you knew the reference, but if you're going to be reasonable about these references, many of them are outdated.
	They're just like callbacks to something.
	You'll say, I do them on the show every once in a while, do some callback to something.
	Sure, sure.
	But it's only for the two or three jokers in our audience, or a couple of producers, who get the joke.
	I got it, I got the joke, I know what you were talking about.
	Okay.
	It's a little too inside baseball.
	Can I get back to the alternate reality?
	Yes, go back.
	Do we have to go back or do we leave?
	I think we should go into...
	Here is Chris Matthews with Tim Kaine.
	How's it going for you and Secretary Clinton these days?
	I mean, we think about it.
	I do once in a while.
	I wonder because I think you did a good job running.
	And, you know, the zeitgeist wasn't quite right.
	I think it had more to do with the zeitgeist than anything else.
	Just the mood of the country was against the ins and for the out guy, at least in those states that matter.
	What's your feeling about the whole election just now?
	You know, I mean, it seems kind of surreal, Chris.
	I wake up some mornings and it seems like the campaign was a dream and I wake up other mornings and thinking I must be living through some alternate reality now.
	So it was a magnificent experience.
	This is the reality, Senator.
	I've got to clear you.
	This is the one that matters.
	Oh, really?
	You sure you've got the right one?
	You sure you've got the right one?
	No, he's got the wrong one.
	He's just going to say, this is the one that matters.
	Boy, it may be to you.
	Yeah, it's fantastic.
	It's so prevalent.
	It's everywhere now.
	Podcast.
	Pod Save America had Jon Favreau on, speechwriter for President Obama.
	Quick little clip from that.
	So yeah, O'Reilly pressed him on this.
	This was about the Super Bowl interview that O'Reilly from Fox News did with the president.
	So yeah, O'Reilly pressed him on this and he's like, Trump said, yeah, we got a lot of killers.
	Do you think our country is so innocent?
	The charitable explanation is that he's referring to Iraq and that the toll, the civilian casualties, the result of that enormous mistake were enormous.
	But there's just, there's no way you can say that we target and kill political opponents or journalists the way Putin does.
	I mean, he's funding separatists in eastern Ukraine, which he is, there's a long list of political opponents like Boris Nemtsov and Alexander Litvinenko, who died from a radioactive plutonium that was slipped in his drink.
	I mean, they're murdering people.
	Happens all the time in the United States.
	Reagan did it.
	What was he talking about?
	Wow.
	Hold on a second.
	Is he maybe talking about a president who sits there with a kill list and checks off names and then blows up a kid, a 16-year-old American citizen, at a bar with a drone?
	Is he talking about that, perhaps?
	I guess that doesn't count.
	I think that counts.
	I would also say we spread cancer to Chavez and we tried to blow up...
	Go read Economic Hitman.
	Yeah, really.
	Tried to blow up the Cuban.
	But yeah, we kill so many people.
	So many people.
	But no, it's just not in that reality or in that universe.
	I don't know.
	I look at you brown people in sandy areas.
	Here we come to kill you.
	Now, luckily, there was a little bit of pushback.
	Just a tiny bit of pushback.
	And not so much on the alternate universe, but more on the media's constant bitching and moaning about the war on them, or the war between the media and the president.
	The White House, I should say, more accurately.
	And of course, what's the guy's name?
	The guy who does this?
	Seltzer, the guy on CNN who does the media show.
	And he had Newsweek's Michael Wolff on.
	What do we know about Michael Wolff, John?
	He's been around.
	Is he any good?
	Yeah, well, he's an old pro, if that's what you're wondering.
	He's not like some new guy that just showed up.
	No, no, no.
	I just want a little background on him.
	Well, he did something I feel very brave, certainly coming from Newsweek, and he pushed back hard.
	I think it's, and I mean this with truly no disrespect, but I think you can border on being sort of quite a ridiculous figure.
	It's not a good look to repeatedly and self-righteously defend your own self-interest.
	The media should not be the story.
	Every week, in this religious sense, you make it the story.
	We are not the story.
	You only have room for one hour a week on CNN for this?
	Listen, I love your show.
	I just wish you wouldn't turn to the camera and lecture America about the virtues of the media and everyone trying to attack it.
	The media will be fine.
	The media doesn't need defending in this moment?
	The media does not need defending by the media, certainly.
	Thank you.
	And so far, the media is...
	I mean, the New York Times front page looks like it's 1938 in Germany every day.
	No, it does not.
	Give me a break.
	Yes, it does.
	The New Yorker is, as I say, has left all of its standards behind and now become an opinion vehicle constantly.
	Is he looking to become a statistic in the unemployment figures, or what is he doing?
	This is not a good thing.
	He's got a clue.
	He already knows he's going to have to write books for the rest.
	He's a book guy.
	Ah, yeah.
	You can always hang in there, because books are listener-supported, reader-supported.
	Yes, that's correct.
	Books are the best.
	You buy a book, the book's not paid for by advertisers.
	It's paid for by book sales.
	That's right.
	That's true.
	A little bit longer clip, but something we have to listen to, is a new Celebrity video about the president, how stupid he is and how horrible he is.
	So we got a bunch of Celebrities.
	And they're coming in and out?
	Just like, is it a white background?
	No, black.
	Black background this time.
	Black background, in and out.
	That's pretty radical.
	In and out.
	You'll recognize some of the voices.
	It's all actors.
	If you see the video, you recognize it.
	Are these people bored stiff?
	Or are they waiting for the Oscars and they're just twiddling their thumbs up?
	Are they doing these things for free on the side?
	Well, it's for Funny or Die.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, that's different.
	It's a career move, I would say.
	Don't you think?
	It's career, yeah, career move.
	If you're a part of it, if you're a part of it, then you're...
	You know, he'd be a good character in my next movie.
	That's exactly right.
	It's basically an audition for these people.
	Oh, and one girl, the British actress, I forget her name, she has a very tight t-shirt on, like, exposing her belly, and it says, my pussy, my choice, or something like that.
	It's like, oh, God.
	All right, let's listen to this.
	And there will be some, of course, it's from Hollywood, so there will be some F-bombs, because that's what seems to be okay these days.
	There's sure been a lot of hullabaloo going on with President Trump's last executive order, where he banned non-citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States.
	I love the phrase, and this is what you've been hearing throughout the past couple of days, Seven predominantly Muslim countries.
	I mean, the newspeak, the propagandistic way of speaking about these things is just spreading like wildfires, a virus.
	Apparently the editor of, I believe, was it the New York Times or the Washington Times?
	No, the Wall Street Journal.
	The Wall Street Journal editor who's been, you know, they've been flooded with the same kind of millennial reporters that are all lockstep into this other dimension.
	He criticized him for using this predominantly Muslim phrase.
	Well, they should be criticized for it.
	Yeah, well, they should, because it's like, what does it have to do with anything?
	It's total bullcrap.
	But let's listen.
	But the way they see it, it's all Muslims, and it's just all about Muslims.
	It's a Muslim ban.
	It's a Muslim ban!
	There's sure been a lot of hullabaloo going on with President Trump's last executive order, where he banned non-citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States.
	And a lot of people, including me, had questions like, why is Trump doing this?
	Is this even constitutional?
	What in the fuck?
	Well, we finally have an answer why Trump is doing this.
	Historians confirmed the existence of another constitution.
	And it's called...
	The alternative constitution.
	You gotta love it, John.
	The alternative constitution.
	Stand by.
	We only know of two copies, one of which an archaeologist found cradled in the mouth of a large golden snake-pig deity hidden in a deep underground cave.
	And Trump was accidentally given the other copy when he was a teen.
	He's working from the wrong constitution, and he doesn't even know it.
	Here, for example, is the normal constitution.
	Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.
	However, Trump's alt-constitution goes a bit further than that, adding, but if a handsome, brave, scared president makes an executive order that favors one religion over another, he shall only experience pure ecstasy.
	Of course Trump felt justified banning green card holders.
	His constitution says, they with cards of green should be kept away by any means, by wall, by force, or with magic beans.
	It looks like many have tried to destroy the alternate constitution, but it has some sort of dark magic.
	However, even the alternative constitution doesn't explain all of Trump's actions.
	As it turns out, Trump has also been looking at the wrong Statue of Liberty.
	France sent us the one on Liberty Island, but apparently Russia sent an identical one a few years later.
	It's much smaller, in Queens, where Trump walked by it all the time growing up.
	This other statue's plaque reads a little different, too.
	It says, give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, so that we may lock them in tiny rooms for days, only to send them back where we think they came from.
	Yeah, that never happened on Atlas Island.
	Fear outsiders.
	It just keeps repeating that.
	The outsider's part.
	He really has been living in a world a little off from ours.
	A world that's a little thinner, a lot dumber, and a whole lot less thought through.
	Finally all makes sense, right?
	He's not making these moves because he's an idiot.
	He's making these moves because he's looking at all the wrong stuff.
	Poor little guy.
	So please, if anyone's watching who might be near President Trump, swap out his cursed constitution for a real one as soon as you can.
	It's truly for his own good.
	If he doesn't, he's bound to keep making embarrassing mistakes like he did this weekend.
	Mr.
	Trump, if you are watching what you may be doing because you...
	Don't read it.
	And you have a true knack for finding examples of people criticizing you.
	We are very sorry.
	Your Constitution is just not the one that we use.
	There are more copies of the real one, so that's the one we're going with.
	Help us help Trump by giving him the real copies of the Constitution.
	The Statue of Liberty.
	Bible.
	Declaration of Independence.
	D.C. Transit turnstile numbers.
	The Gettysburg Address.
	Seasons 1 through 7 of the West Wing.
	And the McDonald's nutrition facts that we're all familiar with.
	It'll help them get on the same page as all of us.
	Because we are fucked if we don't.
	Well, there you go.
	There's Hollywood.
	It's interesting.
	And by the way, just before we get off that end, I get my comment.
	Play the bullcrap Statue of Liberty story since it was mentioned in that piece.
	Well, it turns out that one of the most potent symbols of American freedom began life as a Muslim woman.
	That's according to researchers who say that the Statue of Liberty was originally intended to represent an Egyptian peasant.
	The sculptor, Frederick Auguste Barthold of France, planned for his work to guard the entrance to the Suez Canal.
	But when he was unable to sell his idea to Egypt, Bartholdi journeyed to America with his drawings of a Muslim woman in Arab peasant garb and transformed her into a Roman goddess of liberty.
	Bullshit!
	Backtrack, false.
	Wow.
	The Statue of Liberty was modeled after his mother.
	Where did this alternate universe story come from?
	It came from the alternate universe.
	And by the way, while you're talking about this sort of thing, all these lefties that are on that clip that you played, all these Hollywood types, since when, just talk about your alternate universe, since when did any of them give a crap about the Constitution all of a sudden?
	And since when does Congress shall make no law against the establishment of religion have anything to do with this?
	It has nothing to do with it.
	No one is saying, stop, stop Islam.
	No Islam.
	No one's saying that.
	That's what makes me tired.
	I do like this bit, though.
	It's very tiresome.
	I love this part.
	Fear outsiders.
	Fear outsiders.
	Are they trying to hypnotize us?
	I guess.
	It's working.
	Fear outsiders.
	Wait, we can do this.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	I just had a great idea.
	Mm-hmm.
	Mm-hmm.
	Here it comes.
	I knew I could do this.
	Fear outsiders.
	You will obey.
	You will obey.
	Boom!
	That's how it works.
	Okay, I got a whole thing.
	I'm leading up to something here, John.
	So if you don't mind...
	Okay, well, before you go, you have to play the ISO. Oh, wow.
	Play it.
	ISO coming up.
	Oh wow, that's really good.
	That's from that porn thing you always watch.
	I know what that is.
	No, it's not.
	I like it.
	You'll get it.
	It's cute.
	It's cute.
	Oh wow, it's really good.
	Oh wow, man.
	So there's a lot going on with this executive order and the temporary restraining order.
	A couple of backgrounder clips and some funny stuff.
	Maxine Waters She's going all out.
	Did you get the Maxine Waters clip?
	That's what I have right here, yeah.
	Did you get the follow-up clip when Nancy Pelosi came on stage right after she did?
	Well, let's see.
	I'm going to play yours because it seems like you have...
	Well, no, wait a minute.
	Yeah, my clip is longer, so let's see how we do here.
	Hold on.
	I'm wondering why...
	Okay, so here's the question asked to Congresswoman Maxine Waters.
	I'm wondering why is it appropriate to call for the impeachment of the president less than a month after him taking office?
	Yeah, you'll recall that she said, if it turns out he was behind that Hillary Clinton is sick, he should be impeached.
	Why?
	That's what she said.
	That's what she said.
	Hey, you people down in Los Angeles, good work getting her in there.
	She is nuts.
	Yeah, actually, maybe I should just play that clip.
	Here it is.
	This is where it all stems from.
	Well, let's talk about where that leads to, Congresswoman.
	You've raised a good point here.
	I guess for you, it is important if we...
	That's a good point?
	She can't raise a good point.
	If you find out that somebody on behalf of Donald Trump was on the phone or in email relations with somebody in Russia or the ambassador to America from Russia, and there was some sort of, as you call it, collusion, then what?
	Does that make Trump subject to impeachment?
	What do you mean by not legitimate?
	Just generally what you mean by the term.
	If you find out there was a connection, there was collusion.
	Your turn.
	Well, here's what I'm trying to get to.
	If we discover that Donald Trump or his advocates played a role in helping to devise strategy, if they're the ones who came up with crooked Hillary...
	If they're the ones who came up with she's ill, something's wrong with her energy, and the way that he basically described her in the campaign, I think that is something that would put the question squarely on the table whether or not he should be impeached.
	Yes, well, okay, in your universe, maybe.
	All right, so now she's being questioned about this, and she'll extrapolate a bit.
	I'm wondering why is it appropriate to call for the impeachment of the president less than a month after him taking office?
	I have not called for the impeachment yet.
	Oh.
	He's doing it himself.
	And Pelosi's going...
	I know Pelosi's laughing, but you can't actually see her laugh because her face is so...
	It's like stone from the Botox.
	Oh, no.
	She's got so much Botox in her face that she could actually sell it.
	Hey, just stick the...
	You can just attach a little IV and you can put it right into your head.
	Exactly.
	Mm-hmm.
	Let me just say that the statement I made was a statement in response to questions and pleas that I'm getting from many citizens across this country.
	What are we going to do?
	How can...
	A president who is acting in the manner that he's acting, whether he's talking about the travel ban, the way that he's targeting Muslims, or whether he's talking about his relationship to Putin and the Kremlin, and knowing that they have hacked Our DCCC and DNC, and knowing that he is responsible for supplying the bombs that killed innocent children and families.
	What?
	She's so lost, and there's someone behind her prompting her.
	If you listen carefully and don't scream through it, you can hear it.
	That killed innocent children.
	Wait, let me go back a little further.
	This is crazy talk.
	And knowing that he is responsible for supplying the bombs...
	He's talking about...
	She's talking about Putin.
	Putin supplying...
	Yeah, Putin.
	...that killed innocent children and families and...
	Yeah, in Aleppo.
	And the fact that he is wrapping his arms around Putin while Putin is continuing to advance into Korea.
	Korea?
	Okay.
	Korea.
	He's advancing.
	She wanted to say Crimea or Ukraine, but out comes Korea.
	Yeah, and she stuck with it.
	Stayed with it.
	This is great.
	I love this.
	Wrapping his arms around Putin while Putin is continuing to advance into Korea.
	I think that...
	He is leading himself into that kind of position where folks will begin to ask, what are we going to do?
	And the answer is going to be, eventually, we've got to do something about him.
	We cannot continue to have a president who's acting in this manner.
	It is dangerous to the United States of America.
	Mark Lamont Hill just called and said, that's a great example of a moderate Negro.
	That's what he would say.
	Mediocre.
	What did I say?
	Moderate.
	Oh, no, mediocre.
	I'm sorry.
	Mediocre.
	Here's the Pelosi thing I believe you were talking about.
	Would you at all be willing to work with the Trump administration?
	No, this is different, but it is Nancy Pelosi.
	Would you at all be willing to work with the Trump administration on legislation that if they asked the Congress to essentially come up with something that would allow for some temporary suspension, some new vetting, would you be willing to work with the administration on something like that?
	We take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution and the American people.
	You don't take an oath to protect the American people, you ditz.
	She was almost right.
	I was like, oh, she's got it.
	The first part, right.
	An oath to defend the Constitution.
	We take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution and the American people.
	And as long as we're honoring the Constitution, we're willing to work.
	Now, as President Obama did in 2011, we always have to subject our vetting to scrutiny to see if it's working, but that doesn't mean we institute an unconstitutional, immoral ban on Muslims coming into the country.
	Unconstitutional and immoral, no less.
	It's not unconstitutional, and we'll get into that in a moment.
	Well, first we've got to go back then to my version of the...
	I only got the water...
	I picked this thing up off because they kind of played it funny.
	This is the Maxine Waters clip, the same one you played.
	And then it's followed by Pelosi coming to the podium.
	This was off of RT where they made the commentary...
	She says Korea and there's a bunch of people around there.
	Nobody corrects her.
	When Pelosi comes up, she makes another gaffe.
	How can a president who is acting in the manner that he's acting and the fact that he is wrapping his arms around Putin while Putin is continuing to advance into Korea?
	Well, you might have expected someone to correct the congresswoman slip during the conference for a bit of damage control.
	But the next speaker instead stole the show when speaking about the current U.S. president.
	The assault.
	We've seen nothing that we can work, that I can work with President Bush on.
	And I'm disappointed because I thought that there might be some interest because of what he said in the campaign.
	I'll give you borderline.
	President Bush, these people are lost.
	Insane.
	President Bush.
	Oh, man.
	Good one, John.
	Good one.
	And by the way, on that one, the visual is funny because Maxine Waters was still clueless as to her gaffe.
	Her aide is next to her.
	She's standing there behind Pelosi and this big, tall black guy.
	And when she says President Bush, the black guy looks over and she looks back at him because they both heard that.
	And they kind of blink their eyes and shake their heads as if, no, don't say anything.
	Just don't, don't, don't.
	It'll just confuse her more.
	Don't, don't, don't.
	Please don't, don't, don't.
	So President Trump did a lot of speaking over the weekend about the appeals court turning down or overturning his appeal for the temporary restraining order, although I guess the judge in Boston did agree with the, a whole bunch of stuff, but...
	WAPO! WAPO writer, Ed O'Keefe.
	Do we know Ed O'Keefe?
	Only from the television.
	I've never heard of him before recently.
	So he was very concerned about President Trump's use of words.
	I want to call him out on one thing here, because this continues to be a problem that afflicts the president and other people in this debate.
	He continues to use the word illegals.
	It is about as offensive as it gets for immigration advocates and for Hispanics in this country, and for O'Reilly to use the term illegal aliens.
	That also is a no-no in Germany.
	A no-no?
	Is it a no-no?
	It's a no-no.
	That's what Clinton said in that speech you ran last show.
	Not only that, it is the exact term that is used in all the legal documentation and law.
	It's the law of the land.
	We call them illegal aliens.
	That's what they're called, illegal aliens.
	But Clinton, Bill Clinton called them illegal aliens.
	They used to be called illegal aliens by everybody.
	But who changed this?
	What made it politically incorrect to do that?
	When did that happen and who's behind it?
	Let's listen to Bill Clinton again from his 1996 State of the Union address.
	All Americans.
	Not only in the states most heavily affected, but in every place in this country are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country.
	The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants.
	The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers.
	That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens.
	In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace as recommended by the Commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan.
	We are a nation of immigrants.
	But we are also a nation of laws.
	It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it.
	I also like that he said work face instead of workplace.
	That was kind of funny because that's, you know, Bill definitely had a work face.
	Yeah, there's that.
	Now, so I do understand that the use of the term illegals or aliens is an abbreviation, but come on already.
	How sensitive do we have to be?
	But according to WAPO... I want to call him out on one thing here, because this continues to be a problem that afflicts the president and other people in this debate.
	He continues to use the word illegals.
	It is about as offensive as it gets for immigration advocates and for Hispanics.
	It's offensive for immigration advocates.
	Really?
	I'm so offended by this.
	Migration advocates for Hispanics in this country and for O'Reilly to use the term illegal aliens.
	That also is a no-no in journalism.
	What about Clinton?
	I think that's where I came in.
	You did it again.
	It was a no-no in journalism.
	The AP style is not that anymore.
	It's still a legal term for the government, but that kind of talk distracts and people will just hear that and that alone is disqualified.
	So what the AP style says goes.
	Is that true?
	Is the AP style?
	I don't know.
	I don't have an AP style guide.
	What do they have to say?
	I should.
	What was the term they have to use to be politically correct?
	It's about as offensive as it gets for immigration.
	Let me listen.
	Advocates and for Hispanics in this country.
	Undocumented.
	And for O'Reilly to use the term illegal aliens.
	That also is a no-no in journalism.
	A no-no in journalism.
	You know, the AP style is not that anymore.
	It's still a legal term for the government, but that kind of talk distracts, and people will just hear that, and that alone is disqualified.
	Now, our style is undocumented here.
	There are people who think you should call it out, that they did come into the country illegally, and you should continue to say so.
	That's a debate that you get.
	Plural, though.
	Illegals is the problem.
	And that's going to get him and Republicans in trouble yet again with immigration advocates, and it's offensive.
	Oh, so offensive.
	I'm so offended by you calling me.
	My God.
	Now, the president actually uses aliens more than he uses illegals, which I like, because unless you...
	Illegals, it's an apt term.
	It's not like a...
	Why is it offensive?
	Well, they are illegal.
	This is not a legal thing that they're doing.
	If you can say whites, why can't you say illegals?
	Instead of saying illegal immigrants.
	Or undocumented workers.
	If you can say whites.
	And by the way, it has to be undocumented workers, not undocumented scroungers or undocumented welfare recipients.
	It has to be undocumented workers as though they're all working their asses off.
	Although I would say a lot of them are, especially in California where they're gardening for no pay.
	Yes.
	They're being ripped off.
	Hold on, I want to hear when you were a kid, but not yet.
	Stay with me.
	Okay?
	Please?
	Okay.
	Where was I? Ah, yes.
	The president uses the term aliens more than illegals.
	Which I think is, if you had to choose between illegals and aliens, I would prefer aliens because, you know, I also believe there are other aliens walking around, the greys, you know, that kind of stuff.
	Whenever the president finds any aliens, okay, any aliens, or of any class of aliens, whenever the president finds aliens, whenever the president finds aliens, Any aliens.
	Or of any class of aliens.
	You amuse yourself.
	Actually, producer Luke sent that in, so I didn't do that one myself.
	Every time I give you credit for one of these fine productions, you recredit it to somebody else.
	Do you do any work?
	No, I'm just sitting here wanking.
	I don't do anything at all.
	That's what I imagine.
	Anything at all.
	Thanks, Luke.
	That's it.
	Let me flip the button on this one while I pull down my shorts.
	Alright.
	Alright, so.
	When I was a kid.
	Yes, go ahead.
	When you were a kid.
	They used to have a program in California called the Braceros.
	Now the Braceros, this was all, every Democrat was, oh, this is terrible.
	The Mexicans are being exploited.
	They're being totally exploited and ripped off.
	And we have to end this program.
	And the Bracero program was busloads of Mexican farm workers would be trucked in from Mexico.
	Bus loads.
	Like buses and buses and buses.
	And they'd pick the tomatoes.
	They'd do whatever they did.
	And they got paid.
	And some of them, they kept them in sheds.
	They were put up in these little half-billed crappy places.
	But it was the summertime, so it wasn't raining on them at least.
	And the Bracero program was discontinued completely.
	And then the Illegal Alien program began.
	And as far as I'm concerned, it's worse because they're totally being exploited.
	To the point where it's a complete rip-off.
	The only people benefiting are somebody like anyone who owns a big house.
	Just stop there.
	Just stop there.
	The lead-in is beautiful.
	Here's what I spent my time on over the past few days.
	Immigration, the illegals, the program you're talking about, which up until the mid-90s, pretty much when the Clintons came in, Was run by the United States.
	We had a program.
	We'd choose the aliens.
	I'm sorry, the illegals.
	I'm sorry, the undocumented workers.
	Whatever you want to say.
	And we would bring them in.
	Around 1995-96, this changed.
	And the organization that is responsible for selecting refugees to come to the United States is none other than The United Nations.
	Specifically, the United Nations Refugee Commission.
	And this, John, I found out...
	Now I know why everybody's pissed.
	I know why.
	They're not...
	Listen.
	The people...
	Look!
	The folks who are pissed off about this...
	Are pissed off about the money.
	This refugee, it's actually the refugee resettlement program, is off the hook.
	We're talking billions of dollars every single year.
	And all of a sudden it clicked.
	Everything clicked.
	Why Clinton wanted the Syrians to go to Detroit?
	Let me just give you a couple of statistics.
	So the way it works is the UNHCR, which is their Commission on Refugees, they select the refugees, and then we vet them as they come in.
	The UNHCR has a billion-dollar-a-year budget just for this selection purpose.
	They then contract...
	With refugee resettlement contractors, also known as VOLAGs.
	This is an important term, VOLAG, which really stands for Volunteer Agency.
	And the VOLAGs are really an interesting array of organizations, I give you.
	Church World Service, Ethiopian Community Development Council, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, International Rescue Committee, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services, Catholic Charities, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, Episcopal Migration Ministries, World Relief, Inc.
	All of them receive approximately $1,900 just for handling a refugee.
	Just for handling.
	And there's another $2,000 if they can show that they donated some clothes and maybe a car.
	You have to show at least $200 that you've donated.
	And then you get money.
	And it's just money everywhere.
	It's from USAID. It comes straight from the State Department.
	And so I went looking for approved VOLAGs.
	Well, wouldn't you know...
	That the Clinton Foundation is an approved VOLAG. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
	Meaning, the Clinton Foundation received money which Hillary Clinton approved from the State Department.
	Now, they did a lot of this through...
	Third-party organizations such as Upwardly Global.
	This is a nice one.
	UpwardlyGlobal.org.
	And Upwardly Global, you can find it everywhere on the Clinton Foundation website.
	I have all the links in the show notes, of course.
	It's a placement agency.
	They take highly educated, highly schooled refugees, which they tout themselves as, you know, they're 100% educated.
	They got, you know, great degrees and everything.
	And they place them.
	And again, they receive $4,000 per refugee just to place them.
	That's not even counting food, shelter, etc.
	If you see what we pay for, for refugees, we, the American taxpayer...
	I mean, they have access to everything.
	They have access to all social programs in the United States.
	It is a business model, very much like my nephew from Italy was saying, migrants are just basically a business model.
	Everybody wants that.
	Now, Within this whole gambit, there's an organization which has appointments from the President.
	It's a non-governmental organization, and it's called...
	Hold on a second.
	I just want to get it.
	While I'm looking this up, President Clinton appointed Ira Magaziner to run this...
	This government organization...
	Shoot, hold on a second.
	Let me just find what it's called.
	I'm a little messed up in my show notes here.
	U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants.
	There you go.
	So the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants has a couple of appointees.
	One from President Clinton.
	That's Ira Magaziner.
	And President Obama also appointed a high-ranking person.
	Let's get the leadership here.
	I'll tell you who it is.
	Yes, Lavina Limon is the President and CEO. She was...
	I'm sorry, I misspoke.
	Lavina Limon was appointed President and CEO of the USCRI in 2001.
	And Exinder Nagash...
	The senior vice president was appointed by President Obama in, I think, 2009.
	So this Office of Refugee Settlement, they are the ones who decide which VOLAGs are going to get money.
	So it's kind of handy if you have all the bases covered.
	Every single one of them.
	So I'm conservatively going to estimate that this is a 20 to 30 billion dollar a year business.
	And every single, all the links, all these NGOs, the Clinton, and they have two of them, the Clinton NGOs that were receiving these monies as the CGI. Say million or billion?
	Billion.
	Billion, John.
	Billion.
	Let me see what I have here.
	I have the fact sheet.
	It's crazy the amount of money.
	So this is of course why Bill Clinton wanted the Syrian refugees to go to Detroit because it's free money for them.
	But why Detroit?
	Who gives a crap?
	He had a deal with someone in Detroit.
	He's got a buddy in Detroit.
	Remember, they wanted to build houses.
	And then you have Shobani, the yogurt guy.
	Sure, he'll take your illegals or your aliens.
	Sure, for $56 million in subsidy.
	No kidding.
	Sure, Starbucks will do that.
	Sure, Lumber 84 will do that.
	Forget about the money not going to American workers.
	They're getting paid.
	This is a big, big scam.
	Big scam.
	And when you read through it, and when you get into it, you just get disgusted by it.
	The money.
	And then this, oh yeah, we want to make sure it was okay.
	Bull crap.
	We, long ago, put into law in the United States that we would accept at least 70,000 refugees every single year.
	That's in the law books.
	So if you're wondering why people are really pissed off, you really...
	I'm sure the sheep and the slaves are...
	Don't ban Islam and Muslims.
	Sure.
	Okay.
	But this is about money.
	And I will continue to search and I would like all of our producers help find me the connections.
	I guarantee you there are businesses who are official VOLAGs and they are coordinated or partially run by Congress...
	People, senators.
	I'm telling you, this is the scam.
	This is a massive scam.
	And there you have it.
	No one's looking at that angle.
	Of course not.
	It's huge!
	Especially the news media.
	They're all they want to do.
	I don't know what their angle is, but if you look at who owns the news media, it's just big corporations, and they're just...
	They don't want anyone digging around anywhere, because the next thing you know, they'll be digging around them.
	But I will say that when I found that the Clinton Foundation is a VOLAG, and they have two sub-NGOs receiving each between $4 and $10 million a year just for placing refugees...
	While she was Secretary of State, it's probably illegal.
	I would say it's highly illegal.
	And they received in 2013 just the upwardly global, or as we say, upglow.
	Hey, we here at Upglow over $13 million.
	Yeah, just roll it right out, everybody.
	Interestingly, that money went into the Clinton Foundation, and then the Clinton Foundation gave about $3 million to Upwardly Global.
	Who knows what happened to the rest?
	You know what happened to the rest?
	Yeah, it got stuck on something.
	What is this?
	A million dollars.
	It's being counted as we speak on Richard Branson's island.
	Speaking of counting, Bill was in Amsterdam over the weekend, Bill Clinton.
	I got lots of tweets and people saying, hey, Bill's here!
	And the people who sent me pictures saying, I know these are known Dutch security guys.
	It didn't look like he had Secret Service with them.
	He stayed at the Pulitzer Hotel.
	And of course, I wanted to know, what the heck is he doing?
	And then I found out he was visiting the National Postcode Lottery.
	Oh yes, he's got some...
	He's collecting.
	He's collecting.
	Yeah, he's getting his...
	It's a collection call.
	It's a collection call.
	I wonder if he gets it in an envelope.
	A brown paper bag.
	Sit on that park bench and just pick up the bag.
	Don't worry about it.
	Don't worry about it.
	So...
	To me, it was...
	Eye-opener, and I'm not gonna...
	I'm not gonna stop.
	I think this...
	I think if we really...
	If you really focus on this, I think we can get a lot.
	We can get a lot of cool stuff.
	Nice.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C! And the C stands for CBS Buttslamming!
	Buttslam!
	Dvorak!
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	In the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	Yes, in the morning to the chat room, noagendastream.com.
	Good to have everybody here.
	Nice to see you.
	Thanks for helping out, being good little producers.
	In the morning to Mark G. Mark G., the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 901.
	I have to say, one of the most fabulous pieces of We have had in a long time.
	In fact, I'd like this as a patch.
	It would be a good...
	Somebody already made it...
	One of the t-shirt guys made it into a t-shirt.
	Oh, really?
	Oh, I want that.
	I mean, this thing is intricate.
	There's a little California, Texas, the all-seeing eye.
	It's got everything, all our memes, and it's just pretty to look at.
	And I think it's hypnotizing.
	Yes, exactly.
	Really, really good.
	So thank you, Mark G. and all of the artists who submit artwork to noagendaartgenerator.com.
	Your work is highly appreciated.
	And we also appreciate people who contribute monetarily for our value-for-value model.
	We do not take any corporate money, no advertising.
	We are truly funded by you, and you're not a listener.
	You are a producer, and we appreciate it and like to thank a couple people.
	Yeah, that's what we do.
	I had to go get the note that I noticed on this thing.
	I have a note.
	We do have a bunch of good donors, big, big, big money donors today, including Janonymous at $999.99.
	He says it was an email forthcoming.
	Did you get anything?
	Well, I would not know.
	Let me see if Janonymous shows up in my email.
	Well, that's the problem.
	We don't know what it is.
	Here's a real problem.
	I'm going to just point this out to people who do this.
	I found it!
	I found it!
	Okay, but I'm going to express another problem.
	PayPal has changed a mechanism.
	They do this all the time.
	They change their interface.
	Some of it's good, some of it's bad.
	I have to go to site.
	It's called a refresh, John.
	It's always bad.
	It's never worse.
	It's never better.
	So here's an example.
	To get to the buttons, you know, those buttons that you create, people can, so when you click on something, it says, you know, one-time donation.
	Yeah, so your pre-made scripts for buttons on your webpage.
	Yes, or for email.
	I use the email versions.
	Right.
	But there's buttons used to be very easily accessible on the homepage.
	Just click, there's buttons.
	Boom, you're there.
	Now, no.
	To get to the buttons is a nightmare.
	You don't even want to try to get to the buttons.
	You have to go to the site map and click to the buttons.
	And so when you go to sitemap, it's always been to me the lowest way to find anything because it should be, if you use it a lot, it should be right there.
	It should be right in front of you.
	But no, you got to go to sitemap.
	Well, then the other thing they've changed is that When the donations come in, you can have the notification forwarded to your email box.
	And so it would come in, so you'd always have donation from, like, we have one from Michael Sosnin.
	It would be donation received from Michael Sosnin on the from line.
	It would be just right there.
	Now it just says donation received.
	They don't have the guy's name anymore.
	So you can't search for the guy's name in the email.
	Oh, man.
	So to find the email, it just has to be from the guy directly, but you can't go find the donation version.
	You know, PayPal should have a specific unit that is just for, you know, business.
	They do.
	They're thinking way too...
	They're consumer-focused.
	They're not thinking...
	That's very consumer-y.
	I will say the loss of the...
	Or the ease in which you can get to the...
	for managing your buttons, to make that just disappear.
	And I bitched about this from the, when they made the first transition to the new style, I always reverted to the old style because you could do that.
	And then they ask you, why are you reverting to the old style?
	And so I'd always write in because I can't find the make the buttons thing.
	I can't find the buttons.
	Every time.
	So every time I went to PayPal, which was maybe three or four or five times a week or more, I'd go and I'd do the same thing.
	I'd type in, why are you using the old one?
	So I'd tell them the same thing.
	I must have told them a hundred times.
	They paid zero attention to what anybody said because I know other people had this problem.
	Okay, so here you go.
	If we have people inside CIA, FBI, CDC, NSA, maybe someone here works at PayPal, and John has some very specific recommendations for your next refresh.
	Yes.
	Knowing the way these work, I'm going to get nowhere.
	You've worked in these companies.
	I've worked in these companies.
	Stupid.
	We think it's better this way.
	Why do you know?
	We did a study.
	We did a study and we asked three people and they all said it was better.
	It's not like we're customers or anything.
	The customer's wrong.
	All right.
	Jay Anonymous note.
	Hey, hey, he says, this donation's for knighthood so that I can join my brother.
	Oh, yeah.
	Whom I knighted posthumously as Sir Philly D. Williams of the Silicon Forest spirit realm at the round table.
	I'd like to be known as Sir American Carnage.
	No jingle requests, but I have a challenge from my fellow Oregonian donors.
	What?
	He says.
	What?
	Foragonian?
	What's a Foragonian?
	Oregonian.
	Oh, okay.
	I have a challenge from my fellow Oregonian donors.
	If any Oregonian matches my 999.99 by the end of February in total donations, I will give another 999.999 at the end of March.
	999.99!
	I'll first have to drop the penny in for him.
	There you go.
	So we're good to go.
	And I look forward to your ceremony, good sir.
	All right.
	Yeah, it was, there's something, yeah.
	I don't know how we're going to keep track of that, but if anybody wants to, I guess the Oregonian donor can make a mention.
	Yeah, he'll make a little spreadsheet and he'll figure it out.
	Yeah.
	People can do this.
	But we do have to mention, because I think we received an email about this, you need to keep track of your knighthood status.
	We have, I mean, it's gotten even worse now, apparently, with PayPal.
	We really don't have any perfect way to maintain that, so if you're waiting, like, I'm not, where's my knighting?
	No, no, you have to let us know.
	Yeah, so you can't claim a black knight because you didn't let us know.
	Now, the other one you run into, when you get these checks, these machine-generated checks, which we're getting a lot of, a lot of people will put their, like Sir Rick up there in Washington State, who used to complain in email, but he's got it on his check.
	Because the check, there's room on the check for a note and some other thing.
	There's a bunch of those.
	Anytime you generate these checks that the bank sends out, there's all kinds of places you can put memos and notes.
	Put the information in there.
	A lot of people put their night name and stuff like that.
	And it'll print out nicely on the check.
	It's great for us.
	For you, specifically.
	It's great for everybody.
	All around.
	Michael Sosnin, 90209, came in.
	I don't have where he's from, but he sent a note.
	I do have his note.
	He donates annually.
	He donates $1,000 every year.
	That's right.
	Which is great.
	And he...
	He has another $100 donation someplace later to be mentioned for something else, but I'm not sure why he did that.
	But he specifically wanted to become a member of the 902 Club.
	Done.
	Once again, thank you for your amazing work.
	It's been one year since my last donation.
	There are many great show numbers and producership deals that I had to resist so I could donate 90209 on my birthday, which is today, February 9th.
	So do you have him on the birthday list?
	No, probably not.
	I'm double-checking as we speak.
	I do not, but I shall put him on now.
	Do we have info about his birthday?
	Well, he's born on February 9th.
	I thought maybe...
	No, he doesn't have any more info.
	Was he born this way?
	He was born this way.
	Exactly.
	He was.
	I also thought today may be a slow donation day, but regardless, this donation is long overdue.
	I added an additional $100 for later in the show to get a new title.
	Oh, I see.
	He's been upgraded.
	I humbly ask for a de-douching in karma, but for my title change, I prefer the Dylan jingle over the new Bowie jingle.
	Hold on a second.
	So he has a title change as well?
	Yeah, he sent a second email in which I have to go to.
	Oh, so he's not being knighted.
	He's already a knight.
	No, he's been a knight, yeah.
	Oh, okay.
	He's Baronet something or other now, I think.
	Well, it would be handy to know if I'm going to...
	So what is he changing?
	Yeah, I'm going to get to that after I finish reading this.
	Okay.
	I hate to do this, but I have to call out Uncle Bob Johnson is still a douchebag, even though I hit him in the mouth over two years ago.
	Oh, an outrage, I tell you.
	It is.
	Adam, I have an idea for a road trip.
	I wonder if you might speak to the Night Attack folks about their experience at Dragon Con in Atlanta last year.
	It would be a great opportunity to hit a lot of people in the mouth.
	Go look at that episode of Night Attack from Comic Con, and Brian Brush will be the first to tell you it was their worst production ever.
	So, no.
	Dragon Con.
	Dragon Con, yeah.
	That's what I mean.
	Dragon Con.
	It was horrible.
	It's horrible.
	It's not a place we're ever going to do a broadcast from, no.
	Okay.
	Well, anyway, his name, his actual name is Sir Snodges from Suwannee, Georgia.
	And let me get his other email here, which is...
	The result of my sending him a note.
	I should be moving from Knight to Baronet.
	Unfortunately, I have not been able to come up with a better name.
	It's just a non-creative manager of Dude's Name Ben, I guess.
	Fifteen years at Microsoft and another three at VMware.
	We'll do that to you.
	Thanks again for the best podcast in the universe.
	Thank you, sir.
	He does have a PS here, which I think I'll read.
	Because I don't think it's not personal.
	John, if you have time on an upcoming show, can you please describe the proper method of eating snacks on an airplane since you do not like the popping or fisting methods?
	Ah, yes.
	Ladies and gentlemen, time to go.
	We should go back in time, but...
	Just go for it, John.
	Tell us your peeve about the fisting method of eating snacks on an airplane.
	I see this on the airplane and it's very annoying and I think it will result in fights breaking out because it's just so annoying to watch.
	Guy takes his bag of peanuts and he throws a pile of them into his palm of his hand and then he makes a fist.
	Around the nuts and then he shakes his fist to try to bring a nut to the little hole.
	Stop!
	Stop!
	And then he throws a nut in his mouth from his fist and he does it again.
	He shakes and throws and shakes and throws.
	It is annoying as hell to watch.
	Stop!
	Oh my gosh.
	It just needed porn music.
	Your description is fabulous.
	I've got to produce that.
	There is that part of it.
	You can look at all these things as obscene, but that's exactly what you see.
	This guy shaking his fist and popping a peanut.
	It's nasty.
	It's very nasty.
	I agree.
	It's nasty.
	And whenever Tina and I are flying, we look at each other and I'm like, I'm going to do it.
	I'm going to fist him.
	I'm fisting.
	Onward.
	How about a little karma for him?
	Oh yes, definitely.
	Definitely.
	You've got karma.
	Also for Janonymous there, of course.
	Or some fisting karma.
	Christopher T. Fenwick.
	Christopher T. Fenwick is coming with $900 from Emeryville, California.
	You have a note from him, he says.
	Yes, I do.
	And I gave you a heads up on this.
	Yeah, what he was...
	What I'm suggesting is that we create a series of no-agenda white papers.
	Sort of cliff notes for each topic.
	I know you guys are busy, but this is a great idea if you'll do it or someone else will do it.
	We have one white paper we did, which was Brian the Gay Crusader, which is a fabulous white paper.
	It has been cited in other research.
	If anybody has some specialty skills and they want to do a giblet...
	And want me or Adam or either or both or one of us to front it for them and rewrite some of them so it's a little more professional.
	That's always doable.
	In fact, somebody did offer to do a giblet on something with me.
	They sent me a note and I never heard from them again.
	Either that or I missed their note.
	But you know what?
	Here's the issue.
	Now, Fenwick, by the way, was also bitching about the fact that I had blocked him.
	Uh-oh.
	But I went and looked and I didn't block.
	I guess I blocked him and unblocked him some time ago.
	I don't know why I blocked him in the first place.
	What is your blocking policy, Mr.
	DeVore?
	Yes, we were going to talk about this on this show.
	You have a list of things that we missed on the last show.
	One of them is blocking policies.
	There's a couple of ways I block.
	One, just somebody comes with annoying comments.
	Yeah, you're an idiot.
	You're stupid.
	That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
	That kind of thing.
	I've started blocking those too.
	The other one is the over-retweeter.
	Yeah, it's called puking in your feed is what it's called.
	I'm looking, yes, anyone puking in my feed.
	So I open the page, once a day I look at Twitter.
	And I see the whole page is dominated by, retweeted by the same person.
	Now, stop for a second.
	20 of them.
	Stop for a second.
	Because I blocked someone for puking in my feed.
	And I just blocked it.
	What'll happen is someone will get into a conversation on Twitter and then argue with somebody and then put Adam Curry in there and then just keep going on and on and on.
	Right.
	I hate that, too.
	So this guy, this producer...
	I'm not in the conversation.
	Why am I on the tweet?
	He sent me an email and said, hey, I'm not sure why you blocked me.
	Would you consider unblocking me?
	I said, tell me, after what tweet did I block you?
	So this goes back and forth, and I got busy.
	I couldn't find anything, per se, because it was a feed puke, and I didn't see it until late.
	So six emails with this guy.
	And then he's like, well, so much for asking nicely.
	And I said, then I was like, okay, let me go see what's going on.
	And I find out he was puking in my feed.
	I say, dude, you're puking in my feed, and that's why I blocked you.
	But...
	Are you completely stupid?
	You have a six-email conversation with me, which you could have asked anything.
	I'd be happy to answer questions, look at stuff, whatever you want.
	No.
	It's all about, where did you block me?
	Whereas you can email me directly if you have something.
	So anyway, that's an instant block.
	Instant block.
	Yeah.
	Instant block.
	And anyone who starts off a tweet with, I can't believe that!
	Block.
	So surprised that block.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So that's the blocking policy.
	Unblocking, we don't really have a policy.
	Well, I have two policies.
	For a while, I was keeping track of the people I blocked, and I realized I had too many, and I stopped doing that.
	And with the rationale, in other words, I just did a screen grab.
	It's not that hard.
	And I put it in a file and the file was getting too big and I wasn't going to be able to do anything with it.
	So when people say, can you unblock me please?
	So I'd unblock them if I could, unless they were just one of these, you know, a person that was just mean.
	Or they were, it's just annoying.
	There's annoying people too that just, they get on some topic and then they just ride into the...
	It's unbelievable.
	I'm trying to clean up my feet so I can go there, find some good stuff, maybe retweet one or two things, and then get out of there.
	And I'm not looking to get into a long-winded conversation with somebody over some minuscule issue.
	Anyway, that's enough.
	That's enough already.
	I'm going to eventually quit this and be not in the social media stuff at all.
	We need this for the show.
	Well...
	Francis Sheehy's on the list here.
	$720 from Worcester, Massachusetts.
	And Francis sent a note.
	Francis M. Sheehy, to be exact.
	With this letter is a copy of the book, The Camp of the Saints.
	So I got this book, The Camp of the Saints, which was written in the 70s.
	It's about Jesus Christ reappearing in Africa and then making the whole country become vigilant.
	And then the Europeans all, you know, apparently run by the devil and all hell breaks loose.
	I haven't read it.
	I just know a little bit about it because when J.C. Buzzkill Jr.
	walks in the house, who's very well read, Luke says, oh my god, what are you doing?
	This is interesting.
	And then he talks about his other well read buddy who thinks it's one of the greatest books ever written.
	Greatest books ever written.
	Let's start with that.
	I could not find it on the No Agenda Book Club writes, Francis.
	So I thought maybe you have not read it.
	Indeed.
	It is a story quite similar to the immigrant invasion that has happened in Europe.
	I thought that Adam would be interested to know that I, like others, found No Agenda from first listening to the disciplined investor.
	Ah.
	A stock guy.
	That's right.
	Which led me to DH Unplugged, which led me to No Agenda.
	Horowitz should get a cut.
	Horowitz, no.
	Now ready?
	No.
	Got a pen?
	You got your pencil?
	I got my pen.
	Please give a birthday shout out to my wonderful girlfriend Francine.
	That's it.
	Oh.
	Do we know what her birthday is?
	No, I guess he just says that.
	So, Hillary is not around often.
	I still like, and he wants some clips, because he's sending $720, I'd hope.
	He wants clippity-clop.
	He always cracks up when he hears, don't raff.
	Uh-huh.
	And adios mofo, never loses its appeal.
	Signed, Francis.
	Okay, don't raff.
	Clippity-clop.
	Yeah, I got clippity-clop, don't draft, and what was the last?
	Adios mofo.
	Oh, adios mofo.
	Okay.
	Oop, that's the wrong one.
	I gotta drop that thing.
	Somehow it gets in there.
	Clippity-clop.
	Here we go.
	Clippity-clop.
	Wait a minute.
	Where is the clippity-clop jingle?
	Uh-oh.
	Hasn't been requested for a long time.
	This is...
	Now we see flaws in the system.
	Flies in the ointment.
	Hmm.
	Clippity-clop.
	Yeah, let me...
	Is this it, maybe?
	Just clippity-clop.
	No, that's not...
	Clippity...
	I'll give it to you.
	It's good enough.
	No, it's not good enough.
	It's clippity-clop.
	Just clippity-clop.
	Don't laugh.
	Adios.
	Why are you laughing?
	Shut up!
	You've got karma.
	That still wasn't the right one, but...
	No, that was the one?
	No, no, there's one where she talks through it.
	I'll find it, I'll find it, I'll find it.
	Okay, we'll put it in the show.
	Oh, this is it.
	This is the one.
	The message is clear.
	Okay, I'm going to delete these other ones.
	Let's do that.
	They're just wrong.
	James Brown, hardest working man in the show business from Mundelein, Illinois, 333.33.
	ITM, gents, long time boner, first time donor, please de-douche me.
	Yeah, we'll do that right now.
	You've been de-douched.
	I was listening to episode 901 the other day when I heard Adam shake the rain stick for a Chicago producer.
	I couldn't believe it.
	On Monday night we had some very strong thunderstorms pass through the area.
	The rain stick worked.
	I got a couple of notes.
	I got a couple of notes about that.
	Even when it is supposed to be snowing this time of year, the rain stick brought weather warm enough to make it rain.
	Keep up the great work.
	I'd like a Hot Pockets, Obama No No No, Two to the Head, Karma, and Mic Drop.
	Thanks.
	Hot Pockets.
	That's not the one we wanted.
	I've been watching you.
	Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Come on, where was I?
	Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Hey, listen, I love you back.
	You've got karma.
	Actually, that mic drop mixed nicely with the karma.
	I like that.
	Did.
	Yeah, I agree.
	It's a good idea.
	Baron Tyler Fox, the Night of the Middle Finger Erection.
	In Munich, Deutschland, 333. 30. From the Baron Tyler Fox Night of the Munich, of the Middle Finger Erection.
	Belated congratulations on hitting 900 episodes, gents.
	Your show just keeps getting better with age.
	I don't think I've missed an episode since early 2011, yet I find myself looking forward to each and every new show, even after all these years.
	Nice.
	To those who don't regularly donate, it can't be said often enough, stop being a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	Maybe the douchebags will hear it if it's said like this.
	Listen, is it clear?
	You must donate because 99.9% of scientists agree we need the No Agenda show more and more with each passing year.
	Right?
	Right?
	As for me, my donations too often accompany a need for house hunting karma, and this time is no different.
	Hopefully this one will stick for more than a year.
	We're moving back from Munich because of the business opportunity that is landing us in Adam's backyard, Round Rock, Texas.
	Right on.
	I will miss my German, Austrian, Swiss, no agenda crew and our amazing meetups.
	Oh really, you're doing meetups?
	That's interesting.
	But I'd be lying if I didn't admit it to being pretty excited about attending my first Austin area meetup.
	How's that coming?
	Rental houses are turning so quickly in the Austin area that we can't Even start looking until about one and a half weeks out from our February 28th move date.
	You're going to need that sweet, sweet karma to make everything work smoothly in short order.
	Let's keep it simple and hit me with that.
	House hunting karma followed by a little girl.
	Yay.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Love and light.
	I just want to say something about that.
	They have overbuilt in Austin.
	You will see tons of deals coming along in the next few months.
	Guaranteed.
	Oh, yeah.
	The prices are going down.
	So I'm not quite sure what he means by it's turning so quickly you can only be out a week and a half.
	I'm not seeing that.
	Maybe they're lying to him.
	Could be.
	Alright, here's your...
	Yay!
	You've got karma.
	A little clarification.
	I just saw this pop up in the chat room.
	People are saying, what is the origin of Clippity Club?
	And so, of course, we played the jingle.
	It's Clippity Club.
	The message is clear.
	Just Clippity Club.
	When she was Secretary of State, we followed her very closely, and every single time she would meet someone and do a little speech, she would come through the big doors, which would open magically, very much like Putin, only they're not gold.
	And then she'd have to walk on a hardwood floor before she got to the carpet where the press was, and it sounded like she had hooves.
	Yeah.
	And we don't know that she didn't.
	Not sure.
	We never saw the feet.
	We don't know if she had high heels or hooves.
	And so we were referred to for a while as Clippity Clop.
	We had different names for her.
	She was like a Clydesdale.
	And so then somebody dug up the song, or you did.
	I don't remember where it came from.
	It was from a movie.
	And the rest is history.
	The Marx Brothers?
	I don't remember.
	I think it's the Marx Brothers, yeah.
	Well, maybe.
	All right.
	Onward.
	Yes.
	Philip Wienstra in Chatham, Illinois, 22525.
	And I don't have anything from him.
	And I think you sent us another note or something.
	I looked in the email.
	You have it?
	I think I might have something.
	Let me see.
	No, it's an old one.
	No, I don't.
	No.
	Sorry.
	So, Philip, help us out.
	Send us a note.
	Dr.
	T, 222-22 in DeSoto, Texas.
	A newbie, I'm grateful to stumble upon this podcast through Adam Seedman's appearance.
	Aha!
	Nice!
	Should we score?
	It made sense.
	We hooked one.
	I'm glad I went.
	Need a dedouching for taking so long to donate?
	You've been dedouched.
	The show prep, deconstructions of the media, and clever potpourri of old school radio is excellent!
	Buttslam!
	Woo!
	At least someone gets it.
	Yeah, him, one guy.
	Uncle Bob of unincorporated DeKalb County, Georgia.
	DeKalb is how that's pronounced.
	2-20-2-22.
	From Uncle Bob, Unincorporated DeKalb County.
	Hey, bros.
	Hey, bro.
	Figured I'd better donate now because Mike Sosnin of Suwanee is probably going to call me a douchebag again pretty soon.
	Mike punched me in the mouth and has been calling me a douchebag ever since.
	Oh, no.
	Even though he has four human resources, he keeps trying to pawn off on me to make money pay for their colleges.
	I don't know how he expects me to pay for their colleges.
	And support this podcast at the same time.
	Besides that, I've been listening since show 600, and the verdict is still out.
	I'm not sure I like the podcast.
	I might like taking another 300 shows to make up my mind.
	Here's a bag of shoes to shut up, Sosen.
	Oh, Sosen, that's our other guy.
	Sosen, he's the guy up at the top.
	Sosnin, yeah.
	Sosnin.
	All right.
	Shut him up and keep you guys going for a little while longer.
	Can I please get a Yoko Ono Pink Floyd, but cut out about five seconds with the two to the head, followed by a little girl yay.
	Good health karma to all would be nice to.
	Peace, bros.
	Bros.
	Peace, bros.
	Peace, bros.
	Okay.
	Yeah, I think we can do that.
	We can honor this type of request for associate executive producers.
	Come on in, Yoko.
	you've got karma I'm sorry.
	Exactly as he wanted it.
	I think it's the way it should be.
	Okay, well that's Uncle Bob.
	April Beerg, B-I-E-R-G, I think, in Amboy, Minnesota.
	222.22.
	And she wrote a check in and sent a little note, cute little note, the big heart on it.
	In the morning, John and Adam, another podcast I listened to She reminded me to donate.
	They used clips from your show in moderation.
	Wait a minute, so they used clips from our show and then asked people to donate to our show?
	No, she was reminded to donate our show by listening to clips on their show stolen from our show.
	Well, what show is this?
	It's called, it looks like Middle Theory.
	Middle Theory.
	Yeah, Middle Theory.
	It's another podcast worth listening to, and I've heard them all.
	Oh, no, wait.
	She writes in a funny, it's a little funny to read.
	I think I'm confused by the heart.
	It's another podcast worth listening to, and I've heard them donate to No Agenda.
	Oh, okay.
	So they've donated to the show.
	So they're paying for it.
	We also provide a very easy archive.
	Anybody can get every single clip we've played.
	Except I don't publish the jingles and the songs anymore.
	Because they just get it.
	I was hearing it.
	People hear it on the radio here in Texas.
	Locals?
	The Trump jingle.
	Yeah.
	Local radio station used that.
	That's disgusting.
	It's okay.
	But just say, hey, you got that from the No Agenda Show.
	Yeah.
	How about a little publicity or something?
	Then we, yeah, use it all you want.
	All right.
	Oh, well, and Philip Veenstra is saying that I have a donation note from him in my email, but I don't.
	Sorry, I just don't.
	Send it again, dude.
	I do not have it.
	He may have some screwball email address, and he doesn't use Veenstra in his subject, in his headline, in his name, as possible.
	Anyway, okay.
	He's listening live?
	Hey, Phil.
	Hey, Philip.
	Okay, she's got no requests.
	Okay.
	Sir Robert, give her a karma for sending us things.
	A heart.
	You've got karma.
	Sir Robert, I get the kick out of some of the women.
	There are people that actually put little hearts over the eye.
	Sir Robert Montoya, the Black Knight of Pleasant Hill.
	In Pleasant Hill, I guess, California.
	2-12-12, and he just says the Black Knight of Pleasant Hill.
	He's got nothing else to tell us.
	Thank you very much, Sir Robert.
	Jeffrey Kelly in Arnold, Maryland, $200.02.
	Thanks to Francis for hitting me in the mouth.
	He would like a wee, shut up, slave, and karma.
	Yoko's great gig in the sky at the end, please.
	At the end of the show or at the end of the show?
	At the end of the show, yeah.
	Well, let me just put it in there so I can make sure I get it.
	You weren't going to use it?
	You know, the people are, you know, back and forth on the Yoko thing.
	Oh, please.
	Well, everyone has something to say.
	It's the funniest thing ever.
	I agree.
	Here we go.
	Shut up, slave.
	You've got karma.
	All right.
	Oh, I got the note from Phillip.
	He re-sentence.
	It says, Dear Adam and John, first of all, a correction for Adam on the pronunciation of my last name, on American with a Dutch last name, and my family pronounces it with the long V and the long E. Veenstra.
	Secondly, my wife, whose money this truly is, is an oncology nurse practitioner.
	She needs a fuck cancer for her patients.
	Love the show.
	Wouldn't know what to do if it goes off the air.
	I can't stomach watching all the MSM and local BS news channels.
	Please give a shout out and jobs karma to my eldest brother and sister-in-law at harvestandbloomsfarms.com in Rochester, Illinois.
	Okay, so we need the F cancer, and do you want something else there?
	Jobs karma.
	Okay.
	Yes, okay, no problem.
	We can take care of this.
	Jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs.
	Oh, no.
	All right, sir.
	Done, taken care of.
	Thanks for being sent.
	Next is $200 for Sir Baz von Bateau, according to his email.
	And he, let me see where he's from anywhere.
	Yeah, he's from Bateau Bay, South Wales.
	He's in Australia.
	And he says, he writes, I guess he wants to use that name.
	Although it doesn't seem to care if you use his name either.
	Hi guys, just a quick donation to celebrate and lament my 53rd year on this planet.
	February 7th.
	On the birthday list.
	Another one.
	Let me see.
	It won't be on there.
	Keep going.
	Sir Robert.
	Hold on.
	Jeffrey Kelly.
	Wait, say it again.
	Sir Baz Von Bateau.
	S-I-R-B-A-Z Von Bateau.
	As in boat.
	Yes.
	And he is 53 years old on February 7th.
	Okay.
	Keep up the good work.
	I really enjoy your offbeat and contrarian analysis of news and current affairs.
	Great stuff.
	We try.
	Can I have a you slaves can eat mac and cheese?
	It's too delicious to believe my friend an interesting combination and some protective job karma.
	Protect...
	That's jobs karma.
	Oh, it's just regular jobs karma?
	I guess.
	All right.
	You slaves can get used to mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	It's almost too delicious to believe, my friend.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yes!
	That wraps up our executive producer and associate executive producer grouping today for show 902.
	I want to thank everybody and remind you we do have some more people to thank near the end of the show and also there's another show coming up shortly.
	Excellent showing.
	Excellent showing from our execs and associate executive producers.
	Thank you so much.
	Appreciate that.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	And, of course, we'll be thanking more people, $50 and above, in our second donation segment.
	Again, you are the producers.
	This is how we keep it moving forward.
	We highly appreciate it.
	And, of course, we have another show coming up on Sunday.
	Jobs!
	Devorah.org slash N. Yeah, when you're out there looking for a job, why don't you, I don't know, propagate the formula?
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Hey, citizens.
	Shut up, Slade.
	Shut up.
	Shut up, Slade.
	So you want to do a little executive producing, a little producer of media guys, like Suits.
	Do you mean in the control room or just in the office?
	So we have a new Gwen Ifill clone.
	Hmm.
	Who showed up wearing her red dress on the news.
	They're auditioning for the co-anchor.
	Are you sure this is an audition?
	I don't mean to have the right beginning, but here's the way she's first introduced.
	Woodruff, Judy, said that they're going to have a bunch of different Guest hosts.
	This to me means they're auditioning.
	I agree.
	That's exactly how it works.
	Yeah, and you bring him in.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
	Yeah.
	You know, everybody, it's good to have you here.
	You know, we lost Gwen, which is a true loss.
	We really didn't even realize how good she was.
	And we need a replacement, but I was thinking, maybe if we just have a rotation of guest hosts, someone will shine and we can use them.
	What say you, VP Dvorak?
	Outstanding idea, and that way we don't have to pay him as much, and we don't have any guarantees, and they may be duds you don't know.
	But of course, we will have to look at everything.
	There was a couple things with Gwen.
	We'd like somebody hot on the show.
	Well, we do have somebody lined up that she's very pretty, and her name is Audi.
	It's the only problem.
	It's like her name's Audi.
	It's like Audi and E. It's like a belly button name.
	We don't know if she's going to work.
	It's an Indian name, which would be good.
	It would be good for our...
	Except she's black, of course, so that makes something good.
	Well, we do want to have some color on the show.
	We've got the oldest white people in the business.
	Yes.
	And they're not getting any younger.
	No.
	Do we have an audition?
	Do we have an audition of this?
	We have intro on her first showing on the show itself.
	Intro Audi Cornish.
	Good evening, I'm Judy Woodrow.
	And I'm Audi Cornish.
	On the NewsHour tonight, Audi Cornish.
	Okay.
	Isn't she from NPR? I think she's from NPR. Now, here's the problem.
	I'm going to give you one more clip of her, and this is going to be an issue.
	All right.
	She interviews people on this show, and she's been on two shows, I believe.
	She interviews people, and she is a great interviewer.
	She's very personable.
	She gets right down.
	When she reads from the prompter...
	Oh, don't tell me we got another one who can't read from the prompter.
	We have someone who can't read from the prompter, and worse than that, when she reads from the prompter, she does what Tom Hartman does, and she bugs her eyes!
	Like, really wide?
	Big.
	Borderline popping out of her head.
	We have to work on this.
	We cannot have this.
	So here is a prompter read that's an example.
	In the day's other news...
	I'm sorry.
	I think I have it.
	I'm sorry, yeah.
	Just play it.
	In the day's other news, the Senate wrapped up an all-night and all-day debate to confirm Jeff Sessions as Attorney General.
	Democrats argued that the Republican senator from Alabama is too close to President Trump and is hostile to minorities.
	Republicans defended him as a man of integrity.
	We'll look at the confirmation fight later in the program.
	Yeah, we're going to burn that.
	We thought that weed was pretty shit.
	Could you please do that weed again?
	That's all her reads.
	That's horrible.
	What's interesting...
	It's horrible.
	It is horrible, but I think most people wouldn't notice how bad it is.
	Oh, but if you hear her on NPR... When she's also reading, she actually has inflection and she sounds authoritative.
	Here she sounds like, I'm just going to read this.
	I'm not quite sure what inflection I should put on it.
	I'll just keep it as flat as possible.
	That might work.
	My eyes are bugging out.
	And her eyes are bugging out.
	Yeah.
	I don't know if she's going to be able to turn the corner on her reads.
	And here's the real problem.
	It's not just her reads being mediocre.
	It's that when they throw it to Judy because they go back and forth, Judy, you then realize what a great reader she is.
	She is good, yes.
	She is really good.
	She is slick.
	She just sounds like she's talking casually.
	She's a beautiful reader.
	And then they slip it back to this woman.
	And then they go to Judy.
	And so the contrast makes her worse than if they had just some slouch that was in there besides Judy, who's a really top drawer.
	So we'll see.
	Hmm.
	When she does interviews, she's dynamite.
	Yeah, but this is a poor showing.
	I mean, we should let her on again, let her try, and we should probably have someone work on prompter reading with her.
	Who's going to tell her is the question.
	I'm not going to tell her.
	Politically incorrect.
	I'm not going to tell her.
	I want nothing to do with that.
	No, no, no.
	There you go.
	Hey, um...
	Wait, I got one more.
	Since we're talking about reeds and way of pronunciations, I hate to drop this one on you.
	But I want you to play this clip and tell me what you're hearing.
	Is this the bong thing?
	No, no, that's coming.
	Okay.
	This is Kellyanne in the P word.
	Kellyanne.
	All right, Kellyanne.
	And I think a lot of this stems from the fact that there just seems to be charge and accusation after charge and accusation that somehow President Trump and Vladimir Putin are BFFs.
	That is not true.
	He made very...
	Putin are...
	Oh, God.
	Okay, so we have had a number of emails about this, the dropping of the Ts, which we also have the over-enunciation of Ts, but this Putin thing, everything with Putin, what is your conclusion from the information we've gathered?
	Where is this actually coming from?
	I don't know.
	I have no idea, but as I think about it, I remember, and before, we dated on our show to the woman who, Liz Wald, who quit RT on the air and made a big scene, and she said Putin.
	Putin.
	And, but as I, the more I hear it and the more I think about it, I know that I must have heard this in college or even maybe in high school.
	This is not new.
	This is not new.
	No.
	But it's really getting on my nerves.
	Yeah.
	And when I was so disappointed to hear Kellyanne Conway use Putin...
	Now, she said Putin three times in the show, and it was less of a problem.
	The third time she said she may have nicked the tea.
	I just cut your ISO down a bit.
	Putin...
	Oh, still not right.
	Hmm.
	And there's a little thingy behind it.
	Putin...
	Hold on.
	Let me just listen.
	Yeah, it was sloppy.
	Okay.
	This should do it.
	Man, I don't get paid enough.
	Oh, crap.
	I've never been paid enough for doing this.
	Here we go.
	Perfect.
	Okay.
	Got it.
	Got it, got it, got it.
	But it's not really forceful, so it's not...
	It'll be great for end of show to drop in, but it's not really...
	It's not a great one.
	No, I just put it as a nice suggestion.
	I like it.
	That's why I probably didn't clip it so tight, because I wanted to just prove it.
	But I'm going to look out.
	Somebody said we've been getting notes from people that it has a name...
	I forgot the name, but it's a specific name for doing this.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, it was a good name.
	We should mention that.
	Hold on a second.
	Yeah, it's called a something.
	It's like T-transgenderism or something.
	No.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It is.
	It's something like that.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	T-transgenderism.
	We'll get it for the next show if you can't find it.
	But we're on the lookout.
	And it's used to other...
	I mean, Putin's not the only one.
	I've heard other people say other crazy stuff and drop the T. Right from the middle of a word.
	Yes, but I've also...
	Oh, here we go.
	No, that's not it.
	We'll have to find it.
	But this is something I'd work on because, first of all, in the UK, the United Kingdom of Gitmo Nation, they do this a lot.
	You know, a lot of...
	It's also a hip-hop thing, I believe.
	You know, we're replacing words.
	T-H becomes F. This is very big in the United Kingdom.
	Keith.
	Instead of Keith.
	Yeah.
	Toof.
	Toof.
	You got a toothbrush?
	Just a little nice little bit of noise here.
	My algo on Netflix presented me with a comedy special from a guy I had not heard from before.
	His name is Bill Burr.
	Yes, Bill Burr is on a lot of talk shows.
	He's a favorite on Conan's show.
	Yes, and that's what I have a clip of.
	And I really liked his special, although at a certain point he went on one topic and just went on.
	T-glottalization.
	There it is.
	T-glottalization.
	That's the term, John.
	That's it, yeah.
	Let me just write that down.
	T-glottalization.
	Okay.
	Just something to write down.
	So this Bill Burr guy, I kind of like him.
	And he said something that I think only could be on the Conan show.
	And I think he's quite brave because clearly he won't be invited to any John Legend concerts.
	What did you think of Hillary Clinton at the inauguration?
	I thought that was for her to show up at that inauguration the second time.
	And she started crying a little bit again.
	I just, I don't know, man.
	I don't know.
	I get sick of people making excuses for her.
	She blew it.
	See that?
	Nobody thinks that.
	You could hear a pin drop when he said that, couldn't you?
	That's beautiful.
	I was like, what did he just say?
	See that?
	Nobody thinks that.
	Look, you lost to a guy who said three things a week that would torpedo anybody else's campaign.
	How do you do that?
	That's like you're playing a football game and the other team throws 20 interceptions and you're still figuring out how to blow it.
	At what point do you take responsibility?
	They try to say, they would be like, oh, it was a bunch of...
	I love the racist white guy thing.
	A bunch of racist white guys.
	They came out of the forest.
	And they're just going Trump, Trump, Trump.
	It's like, where were all these racist white guys the last two elections when they could have voted against a black guy?
	They were fine.
	Oh, I don't mind the black guy.
	But this white lady, we're going to stop her.
	She's going to take her four-wheelers.
	McCusey.
	So, okay, so not a lot of sympathy there for Hillary Clinton.
	You blew it.
	You blew it.
	You put the wrong team around you.
	You didn't generate enough excitement to beat this guy.
	I mean, it was unbelievable.
	He was just tripping over one coffee table after another.
	And somehow you just couldn't get out in front of this guy?
	Uh-huh.
	It was good.
	I think he's pretty good.
	I like him.
	He's a bit of a modern day kind of trying to move into Bill Hicks type, George Carlin type territory.
	He needs a lot of work to become George Carlin, but at least he's just saying it.
	Yeah, no, I've always liked his material.
	I was unfamiliar with him.
	I didn't know.
	He's like a little bit of a...
	What's the name of that guy who's got a bunch of comedy?
	He's got a series on it.
	I can't think of his name.
	But he's reminiscent of a number of people.
	But they're always enjoyable.
	He's good at getting a cheap laugh.
	It's not even a cheap laugh.
	He's not a bigoted...
	He's not a horrible...
	Apparently he has a podcast.
	And he spoke at George Carlin's funeral.
	Gosh, this guy's been around a long time.
	I didn't even know about him.
	Well, there you go.
	Do you mind if I open the gate?
	I have nothing for the gate, but go.
	I'm ready for the gate.
	To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gate.
	That's right, everybody, here for The Climbing Gate, a story I've been tracking for about a week and a half, and I didn't want to do anything with it until I had some media talking about it.
	So now that the media is talking about it, we can deconstruct what's going on.
	This is about the whistleblower at the National Oceanographic and NOAA, National Oceanographic, and what is the other one?
	Atmospheric Administration.
	The accusations are explosive that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration intentionally manipulated data to hide a 12-year pause in global warming, and that the flawed study was a major influence in the 2015 Paris Climate Summit, where Western nations agreed to spend billions to reduce fossil fuel use.
	That, according to John Bates, who recently retired as a lead scientist of NOAA's National Climatic Data Center.
	His claim took center stage at a House hearing today entitled, Making the EPA Great Again.
	We have every reason to be skeptical that our scientific community is maintaining its integrity.
	In an exclusive interview Sunday with the Daily Mail, Noah Whistleblower Bates said, quote, they had good data from buoys and they threw it out and corrected it by using the bad data from ships.
	You never change good data to agree with the bad, but that's what they did, so as to make it look as if the sea was warmer.
	In a blog post, Bates skewered the study's author, Tom Carl, that he, quote, constantly had his thumb on the scale in the documentation, scientific choices, and release of data sets, all to discredit the notion of a global warming hiatus.
	The CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science today defended the NOAA study and said that Bates' whistleblowing is overblown.
	That's a great...
	His whistleblowing is overblown.
	Okay.
	The CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science today defended the NOAA study and said that Bates' whistleblowing is overblown.
	All he is doing, quote, is calling out a former colleague for not properly following agency standards.
	This is not the making of a big scandal.
	This is an internal dispute between two factions within an agency.
	In a statement, Noah said, quote, it stands behind its world-class scientists but takes the allegations seriously and, quote, will review the matter appropriately.
	Critics note climate research today is almost entirely funded by the government.
	A number of scientists have come to me telling me that where before a certain time period they were receiving government research contracts, afterwards, after it became clear they didn't agree with the CO2 theory, no more contracts.
	In a statement late today to Fox News, Bates said his whistleblowing was not based on any personal feud, but his focus, quote, on concerns he raised and the opportunity they will be addressed.
	As always, here on the No Agenda Show, we recommend you refrain from any small aviation, any hot tubs, canoes in D.C. area waters.
	Just be careful.
	Well...
	This happens over and over and over again, and it comes up, pops up like a little blip, and then it goes away, and then it's ignored by the warmest, including a lot of our listeners, by the way.
	We'll pay zero attention to any of this.
	I don't know how they got all in on it.
	Maybe a school.
	I think a lot of schools have been promoting this.
	I'm not sure.
	Well, Void Zero.
	Fascinating.
	Void Zero.
	Of course, this was broken by Daily Mail.
	And that story is now banned as a Wikipedia source.
	Even though it's a fucking source.
	Wikipedia, we have to know.
	Wikipedia.
	Wikipedia has long since been busted as editing anything to do with global warming in favor of the theory.
	They've been notorious for not...
	They will not allow any sort of contrary skeptic kind of postings on Wikipedia.
	And apparently Daily Mail is...
	They're completely all in on global warming.
	Daily Mail is banned as a source, period.
	Period.
	Yes, Daily Mail broke this story.
	This is funny.
	Daily Mail is banned.
	Not just this story.
	Daily Mail is banned as a source from Wikipedia.
	Well, yeah, that's what you do.
	You don't just ban the one story.
	You ban the whole operation because you know they're going to come up with more stuff.
	Let's play a little jingle for them.
	Don't be a denier.
	The science is end.
	Okay, three more quick clips from an Australian geologist.
	His name is Ian Rutherford Pilmer.
	Pilmer, I think, yes.
	Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences at, let me see, what is the university?
	University of Melbourne.
	Oh, good.
	Maybe we'll see him when we go visit.
	And he gave a little spiel about climate change.
	I think it was, I don't know if this was in Australia or UK, and it's just three short little clips I just wanted us to listen to.
	I do want to point something out, that a lot of this that we're getting, and the same with the guy who started the Weather Channel, who's always been a skeptic.
	And he has some of the best videos, with some good explanations as to what we're witnessing.
	There's also a movie called The Global Warming Hoax or something, which is quite good.
	These are all the guys who are now out of the game, Emeritus means he's retired.
	Yeah, and it means you're retired and you deserve it.
	And the other guy from NOAA just quit, and now they can tell the truth.
	They're out.
	Yep.
	That's what we have to, just all we can get is from the guys who quit, because the other guys are on the gravy train.
	I would say they're a version of...
	Man overboard!
	Man overboard!
	He's overboard.
	Okay, let's start now.
	What's interesting about his little talk here, he is looking not at, you know, 15 sources of data which are all questionable one way or the other from, you know, predicting future.
	He is looking at the past from a geologist vantage point.
	I'm a geologist.
	And the one thing that we miss out on in looking at climate change is the past.
	Climates have always changed.
	Climate changes in the past have been greater and faster than anything we experience in our lifetime.
	And sea levels have always changed.
	Not by the modest couple of millimetres that people are having conniptions about, but we've had in the past sea level changes of only 1,500 metres.
	That's a sea level change.
	And if we look back in the history of time, the atmosphere once had a very large amount of carbon dioxide in it.
	It's now got less than 0.04%.
	Where did that carbon dioxide go to?
	It went into chalk, limestone, shells and life.
	And we've been sequestering carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere for only 2,500 million years.
	This planet has been degassing carbon dioxide since it first formed on that Thursday, 4,567 million years ago.
	Carbon dioxide is a natural gas.
	It has dominated the atmosphere for an extraordinarily long period of time and we now are at a dangerously low level.
	If we halved the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, we would have no terrestrial plants.
	Carbon dioxide is plant food.
	It is not a pollutant.
	To use words like pollution with carbon dioxide is misleading and deceptive.
	Okay, that's just a little primer.
	Yeah, well, it does come in with our thesis.
	This whole thing is, besides the money side of it, it's to kill humans.
	Well, more importantly, are we in a warming state of the universe, or the globe, or are we in a cooling state?
	Yeah, the professor answers.
	But the past gives us a wonderful story.
	In the past we've had six major ice ages.
	We are currently in an ice age.
	It started 34 million years ago when South America had the good sense to pull away from Antarctica and there was a certain polar current set up which isolated Antarctica and we started to get the Antarctic ice sheet.
	We've had periods of glaciation and interglacials.
	We are currently in interglacial.
	And during that 34 million years, we have refrigerated the Earth.
	But for less than 20% of time, we have had ice on planet Earth.
	The rest of the time, it's been warmer and wetter.
	And there's been more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
	And what did life do?
	It thrived.
	Six of the six great ice ages were initiated when the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere was higher than now.
	In fact, up to a thousand times higher.
	So we have, from the geological evidence, absolutely no evidence that carbon dioxide has driven climate.
	Again, be careful of small aircraft.
	Be very careful with this kind of talk.
	Professor Pilmer.
	Final one, he tells us where the warmth really comes from.
	For some odd reason, the major driver of climate is that great ball of heat in the sky, which we call the sun.
	You heard it here first.
	It's really quite unusual.
	And we change our distance from the sun.
	Every 100,000 years our orbit changes from elliptical to circular.
	And we have a cycle of 90,000 years of cold and 10,000 years of warm.
	We're in one of those warm cycles now.
	And every 43,000 years the axis of the Earth changes a little bit.
	And every 21,000 years we get a bit of a wobble.
	Each of those orbital events puts us further from the Sun.
	Every now and then we get bombarded by cosmic rays coming from a supernatal eruption somewhere out there.
	And if the Sun's magnetic field cannot drive these away, we start to form low-level clouds.
	We've got extremely good evidence.
	That this process has been going on for a very long period of time.
	Every now and then continents start to move.
	And they move at very rapid rates.
	They move about this much every year.
	And at one time a continent can be over a pole, at another time it can be at the equator.
	Those living continents change the major heat balance on the Earth, and that's the ocean currents.
	The oceans carry far more heat than the atmosphere.
	Every now and then, because of major geological processes, we'll get a great bulge on the ocean floor of new volcanic rock.
	That changes ocean currents.
	Every year we have 10,000 cubic kilometres of seawater that goes through new volcanic rocks in the ocean floor.
	That exchange is hate.
	And there's a man who will die poor.
	There you go.
	He's already retired, so he's an emeritus, so he doesn't have to work.
	Yeah, but he'll die.
	He'll die poor.
	That's just how it works.
	Let me close the gate.
	I'm very happy we have that.
	It's always nice to have some alt-universe sounds on the show.
	To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gate.
	To the climate gate.
	How can you believe that crap?
	Don't you know?
	It's 97% of all scientists.
	Carbon pollution is killing us, man.
	Of course, it's not carbon pollution, it's carbon dioxide.
	What are you going to do?
	What are you going to do?
	Nothing.
	Nothing.
	The mainstream media is promoting the other stuff.
	Bill Nye just got a new show.
	I know.
	Saving the world.
	Yeah.
	Unbelievable.
	I saw the trailer, but it wasn't worth playing.
	You need the visuals of that moron.
	Idiot.
	Okay, let's play this.
	This is Dana Rohrabacher.
	On the POT Act.
	Who's Dana Rohrabacher?
	Dana Rohrabacher is a Republican in Southern California.
	Costa Mesa, I think, is one of his areas.
	And he is an old guy.
	And he's been around forever.
	And he has got this to say.
	Question?
	Is the POT Act a California thing or a federal thing?
	No, this is the U.S. Congress.
	It's a federal thing.
	Is this in Congress?
	He's speaking?
	He's speaking right there in Congress.
	There's a camera on him.
	...on the campaign trail loudly and aggressively challenged the status quo.
	And we haven't had someone here shaking up the status quo for a long time.
	But he did so by promising to revisit...
	A whole host of failed federal policies that have been crying out for attention for years, and in some cases decades.
	One such failed policy has been the U.S. government spending billions of dollars and wasting the time of federal employees, hundreds of thousands, if not maybe tens of thousands of federal employees, in order to prevent adults from smoking a weed.
	Marijuana.
	Candidate Trump told the voters this was an issue to be left up to the states, especially when it comes to medical marijuana.
	At a 2015 rally in Sparks, Nevada, then-candidate Trump said, and I quote, the marijuana thing is such a big thing.
	I think medical should be happening.
	Yes, right.
	We don't agree.
	I mean, I think so.
	And when I really believe you should be leaving this up to the states, it should be a state situation.
	I think, in terms of marijuana and legalization, I think that should be a state issue, state by state.
	End of quote.
	I could not agree more with the President, and indeed, it is the very approach that I have advocated for several years.
	In this vein, I have reintroduced today, as I said, the Respect State Marijuana Laws Act.
	Huh.
	Interesting.
	Now it makes sense.
	I did not know this was in play, the marijuana law.
	States Act?
	Is that what he called it?
	Respect States.
	Respect the States.
	Just respect the States.
	Regarding pot.
	Okay.
	Particularly medical marijuana.
	And now I understand this next news story, which I wasn't even sure I was going to play.
	This is from your neck of the woods, John, Bay Area, California, who have approved pot smoking.
	Right?
	That's approved?
	Yep.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, I think we need a little more government involvement, John.
	You cannot tell by looking at your cannabis whether it's contaminated with pesticides, residual solvents, molds.
	Want to know exactly what's in your marijuana?
	This particular instrument here is a liquid chromatograph.
	Just ask the team at Steephill Labs.
	We see that cannabis that comes to the lab often would have to be destroyed in other states.
	And that's because states like Oregon, Washington, Massachusetts, and Colorado have either set limits on or banned certain pesticides for use on marijuana.
	And tonight, we're going to focus on just one of them.
	Miclobutanil, often sold under the name Eagle 20, is approved for use on things like grapes and hops because if you happen to eat some of it, it's considered harmless.
	But if you set fire to miclobutanil...
	If you smoke it, if you heat it, it actually can produce a substance called hydrogen cyanide.
	Hydrogen cyanide is very toxic to humans.
	That's exactly why the federal government prohibits the use of Eagle 20 on tobacco.
	But remember, California currently has no such pesticide rules when it comes to medical marijuana.
	So how much Eagle 20 might you find on California's medical marijuana?
	Well, we purchased samples from five different Bay Area dispensaries.
	And since not everyone gets their marijuana from a dispensary, we also arranged for the acquisition of some marijuana sold on the street.
	And we sent it all off to the lab.
	Only one of those six had no detectable pesticides.
	That's right.
	Just one clean dispensary sample while three more had enough pesticide traces to make them test failures in Massachusetts or Nevada.
	Now our black market sample, it failed on nine different pesticide tests.
	But if you're thinking the street weed was the dirtiest, guess again, because our last dispensary sample, a product sold as medicine, was far and away the most contaminated, with myclobutanil levels at more than 13 times the amount allowable under Oregon law.
	But now the clock is ticking for California to come up with its own safety standards.
	What pesticides will be allowed?
	At what levels?
	And how will it all be tested for safe consumption?
	Most of California's marijuana is being grown, no questions asked.
	And the result is plenty of products you would probably rather not smoke.
	Interesting.
	And they do need standards.
	I think they have standards in Colorado, Oregon for sure.
	I don't know about Washington, but a lot of the stuff is edibles, which is a different problem.
	I will mention something about hydrogen cyanide.
	Cyanide is a non-accumulative poison.
	For all practical purposes.
	You get a whiff of it once in a while, and if you're in the lab, you'll smell it.
	And then you should also note that almonds and most fruit pits, if you crack open the seed in the middle, there's a little nut inside.
	Apricots have really tasty ones.
	The French usually use them in their jam and jelly making.
	You're supposed to put two or three of these pits into the...
	Into the jam or jelly.
	To give it that edge?
	Is that what it's about?
	Give you a little edge?
	It's actually, I think it's like a disinfectant because there's enough cyanide in the pits to actually affect, I think, the chemistry of the jam.
	Does it have carcinogen-preventing properties?
	Nobody knows.
	It might.
	If you want to really get a good taste of this stuff, and it's actually at a dangerous level only in apple seeds.
	Apple seeds, if you ate, it's always believed that if you ate all the apple seeds in like a couple of apples, you'd drop dead.
	Well, that would prevent cancer.
	Yes.
	So let's mention a couple of things.
	One, Cyanide in fruit nuts and other places is absolutely delicious.
	That's what contributes the major flavor to almonds.
	Or almonds as they like to call them.
	But when you get to the fruit nuts, like a peach nut or apple seeds in particular, they're stunningly tasty.
	Hydrogen cyanide, unless it kills you, it metabolizes.
	And that's the thing you have to know.
	Got it, got it, got it.
	So you just, it goes away.
	And it's not like H2S, which accumulates, or carbon monoxide, which accumulates, and the more you get little whiffs of it, it starts to build up and then you drop dead.
	Right.
	Little tip from John.
	Yeah.
	You know, I didn't get a clip of it, but in Texas there was a news story running that veterinarians want to prescribe medical marijuana to pets if they're stressed out.
	Oh, brother.
	I know.
	Texas, of all places.
	Texas.
	Texas.
	What do you do?
	Is it the old-fashioned way where you blow the smoke into the cat's face?
	I always remember.
	That was fun.
	I love doing that.
	The cat's stoned, man!
	Watch the cat!
	It's stoned!
	It's stoned!
	210.
	Yeah, you can flip that one.
	Yeah, that's perfect.
	Um...
	Yeah, well, while we're on the topic...
	Yes?
	I think it's time for Bon Appetit!
	Ha ha ha!
	This is not that.
	This is my play on, like, all the veggies that you would get at the holidays.
	So we did CHC for the puree.
	It's less than 5 milligrams.
	Man, that is so good.
	It's so f***ing, like, buttery.
	It's just, like, the texture, you know, of parsnips is, like, sticks to your mouth more.
	You know what I mean?
	It doesn't, like, lump up as much, obviously.
	It's, like, super creamy.
	I just want to eat the flour because I feel fancy.
	Oh, the flour does have some flavor to it.
	What we have next is the duck, and the cherry sauce on the duck is going to have THC in it.
	We have a little cocktail pairing with the honey glazed duck, a fig julep.
	It's like Christmas in your mouth.
	That's exactly where you want it.
	Exactly.
	Yeah, so there's Durbin Hayes Terps in here.
	Just a little bit.
	Oh, wow, that's really good.
	Does anybody want more cherry sauce?
	I'll take some.
	Yeah?
	The cherry sauce, what has the THC in it?
	Another five milligrams.
	Thanks very much.
	You're welcome.
	Anyone else?
	Yeah, I'll take some.
	Alright, everyone's down.
	I think everyone's down.
	Go big or go home.
	I'm weird about duck, but this is really good.
	It's a texture thing for me.
	I mean, the texture I always feel like with duck is like, it's kind of like beef a little bit.
	I'm starting to get to that point of like exhaustion and malaise, you know, that you feel around the holidays.
	Nap time?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Nap time.
	I think before we get there, we have a couple of desserts that are going to come out in a second.
	Thanks so much for coming and bon appetit.
	Someone's getting cornholed today.
	Sounds like a recipe for success to me.
	Nice bong appetit.
	Now, this is a new show, I guess, on Vice TV, which is now a channel on many cable systems.
	And it's the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
	It's a bunch of stoners.
	Yeah.
	That are stoned without the food.
	Because for one thing, if you ate a meal with all this THC mixed in and those sauces, it really takes about two or three hours before it would have any effect on you.
	So it wouldn't be getting you stoned.
	So you have to be...
	If you listen to these guys, they're already stoned.
	And then they're eating this...
	They're eating this food which is laced with THC and they're already wasted and we don't get any recipes.
	We don't get any insight.
	All we know is that this has got five milligrams and this has got six milligrams and it's just a show about these guys eating.
	It's the stupidest show ever.
	I need to watch it.
	You won't like it.
	There was a complaint in the chat room that you could not have been more wrong about almonds.
	And here's what was interesting.
	Someone else said, if you got a complaint about that, email adam at curry.com.
	Really?
	Really?
	Perfect.
	Exactly.
	Yes.
	Apparently it's arsenic, not cyanide in almonds.
	There's no arsenic in almonds.
	There may be arsenic in almonds, but that flavor is cyanide.
	It's a very specific flavor.
	It's john at dvorak.org.
	That's where you want to send your emails.
	If you send it to me, you're not only getting deleted, you're getting blocked.
	So tired of that.
	Oh, you baby.
	Yes, I am.
	Hey, one last thing before we thank some of our producers.
	A lot of people have been tweeting, What about Fukushima?!
	Now, this is not really broken big yet, but we're going to see it, I think, in the next few days.
	A report came out of Japan that there are huge radiation levels at Fukushima.
	Before you go to that, I just got to stop the show.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	Stop.
	I don't know why people make these comments and they don't even do the simplest of lookups.
	Can you get cyanide poisoning from eating almonds?
	By Jill Corleone.
	P-I-L-D. She's the nurse.
	Blah, blah, blah.
	Almonds are rich in fatty acids, vitamin E, and fiber.
	Although the almonds you buy at the grocery store contain a small amount of cyanide, it's not enough to poison you.
	However, eating too many bitter almonds, which you can't get in the United States, may not be so good for your health and may lead to cyanide poisoning.
	If you expect cyanide poisoning, go to your closest doctor.
	Emergency room.
	Anyway.
	Arsenic I don't think you want to eat arsenic if it's in...
	If I knew that it was arsenic in almonds, I'd never eat an almond again.
	It's a rat poison.
	Anyway, enough.
	Why did you bring this stuff up?
	Okay, everybody, and we can roll tape again in time.
	Four, three, two...
	Hey, welcome back to the show.
	So a lot of people claiming, you know, yelling about Fukushima, what's going on, it's horrible, we're all gonna die.
	And I think you'll see some news stories about this popping up.
	So, of course, where do we go if we have questions about nuclear energy?
	We go to our resident nuke expert, Sir Hot Rod Atomic Atoms.
	And I didn't even have to email him about it because he has posted a blog post.
	And he says, Newsflash!
	Radiation levels inside, measured inside the containment and shielding of a damaged nuclear reactor are high!
	That is about as unexpected as finding out that temperatures inside a coal-fired furnace are high enough to cause instant death to any unprotected living creature, including human beings.
	Atomic Rod says there's absolutely no reason for the public to be concerned about high radiation levels measured inside a nuclear reactor.
	And it's in the show notes, you can take a look at it yourself, atomicinsights.com.
	So, you know, they measured inside, with a probe, they measured inside the Unit 2, and yeah, it's supposed to be high there.
	So this story is getting manipulated and maligned into, we're all going to die, and it's horrible there.
	But really, in reality, it's just a probe went down, said, yeah, high radiation, which is what you want.
	That's how a reactor works.
	So we can take that one off the list.
	Yeah, I saw his note too.
	Yeah.
	I didn't think much of the story looked like just some sort of...
	Well, I'm...
	I don't even want to...
	Yeah, no, that's why I'm prefacing.
	I'm prefacing a little bit so that people...
	Because, you know, this will be a story, and now you can be on the lookout.
	And let's get some news.
	Let's deconstruct some media about that.
	If you have it, we'd love you to share it with us.
	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.
	One more thing before you start, John.
	uh Do not be worried.
	If you want to know about the water leaking into the ocean, go to AtomicInsights.com.
	Hot Rod Atomic Atoms has been involved in nuclear reactors.
	He was a nuclear sub for most of his career.
	The guy knows what he's talking about.
	I trust him.
	Sorry, chat room people.
	I don't think you can live up to him.
	Yeah.
	Arsenic.
	You're failing, Smalls!
	Fred Van Leeuwen in here.
	Fred Van Leeuwen.
	Fred Van Leeuwen.
	Leeuwen.
	Fred of the Lions.

	Showbiz City.
	Is it?
	That's showbiz city in the Netherlands.
	That's Hollywood?
	Yep.
	Hilversum.
	So you get a lot of celebrities in that area?
	Yeah, in that surrounding area.
	Where is it near?
	Where is it near?
	Is it near Rotterdam?

	1-0-1-0-1.
	Hey, Dame Amanda of the Northeast.
	Also, for some unknown reason, 1-0-1-0-1.
	She sent a card.
	With a heart?
	Yes, she always puts it.
	She only makes a heart.
	The other letter, the heart could have been a butt.
	That was April.
	But no, not the case with Dame Amanda of the Northeast.
	She colors her heart red and actually gives a little highlight.
	So you know that it's not a butt.
	Yeah, because otherwise it could be a but.
	Sending love to all nice dames, producers, boners, and shills of the official holiday of FD&C Red 40.
	What's that?
	That's the red dye that makes the red cake red.
	Michael Sosnin again, $100, which added to the extra donation.
	William Geiger, $100.
	He's from, again, parts unknown.
	Then we jump down to Joe Blazik.
	Joe Blazik, who is...
	Are you okay?
	I was trying to get my cursor to find where I was.
	I had to move down because this has got a big note here and it took up a little bit of space.
	But I thought he'd make that noise.
	Which I liked.
	Yeah, it was fabulous.
	Thomas Kilbride Jr.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	No, hold on.
	Hold on a second.
	We need to read Joel's note because he's going to be knighted today.
	Oh, he's going to be knighted?
	Yes, that's why.
	Knighted.
	He's not going to be knighted?
	He's going to be knighted.
	That's why his spreadsheet cell is in purple.
	I have reached the point of my second one.
	This is the second.
	He's going to be upgraded.
	Second 1000 milestone with his latest monthly boobs donation.
	Who knew getting titties in my face would be this much fun?
	Anyway, he wants to thank us for keeping him sane.
	Karma to all producers.
	And he wants to hear some Reverend Manning.
	We put that at the end of the show.
	Let me just do this quick little sequence.
	We can do that for him.
	I think I see why you're going to do this, but go on.
	No, no, no.
	You'll see.
	I have no other agenda.
	A long-legged magnetic!
	Atlas Drive By Ayn Rand.
	That's not...
	You saw the Ayn Rand in there thing.
	You saw that.
	Jumped on it.
	You should re-read that one of these days.
	You might learn some.
	Baronet.
	I've read it twice.
	Baronet of the No Agenda Roundtable is going to be known as a Battle of...
	Battle Born Black Knight.
	Black Knight.
	Okay.
	Nice.
	For Joel.
	Thomas Kilbride Jr.
	in Waco.
	Hold on a second.
	He's not even on the list.
	Who?
	Is it just a title change?
	Yeah.
	The title's not in there?
	Come on, man.
	The spreadsheet is crap.
	I thought I saw it on there.
	Not in the notes he sends to me.
	Well, he's got it colored, so he must have put it on there.
	Yeah, he just says Baronet, but doesn't give his name.
	There's no name?
	Oh, he doesn't have all the stuff you mean.
	But you know what that means?
	And we don't do that.
	Guess who has to go and change all the show notes?
	Yes.
	Correct.
	Thomas Kilbride.
	Yeah.
	Adam at curry.com.
	All complaints go to adam at curry.com.
	Thomas Kilbride Jr.
	in Waco, Texas.
	Once again, $79.
	Thomas Tharp Jr.
	in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
	$69.69.
	He's got a burr up.
	And we got another missed thing.
	This is a birthday call out to his wife on February 13th.
	They were both born in 1969.
	So I donated $69.69.
	Huh.
	Yeah, I'm doing it while you just continue.
	I'll do that.
	John Hamilton in Carlsbad, California.
	$69.61.
	Russell Rhodes, $67.89.
	Loves the deconstruction.
	And wait, he also has a birthday.
	And we have another birthday.
	No, that's on the list.
	I got that one.
	Yeah.
	Well, I didn't color it yellow then.
	That's what I like to know.
	Jean-Claude Schmid, sir, if I'm not mistaken, and Tustin.
	Jean-Claude, I would say.
	Not Jean-Claude.
	Did I say Jean-Claude?
	You pretty much did.
	Jean-Claude.
	That was a huge blunder.
	In Tustin.
	I've been trying to find an artist.
	All I remember is her name is Dustin.
	And she was from Tustin.
	And I always thought...
	There once was a woman from Dustin.
	Dustin.
	Whose name was something called Dustin.
	Dustin.
	So, Dustin from Tustin, who's an unbelievably good artist, and I figured, well, I always remember her name because she's Dustin from Tustin.
	It wouldn't be very hard for me to just dig that up.
	I can remember that little thing.
	No.
	Never heard, never found her since.
	Russell Rhodes, Parts Unknown, 6789.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I'm back in the wrong way.
	Mike in Kansas City.
	See Mike in Kansas City.
	Uh...
	The donation amount is four letters of the man overboard.
	With the donation, I request permission to come back aboard for a full de-douching.
	You know, this is the guy...
	He sent us a note.
	It was a while ago.
	And it was, you know, I can't deal with you guys.
	I got six...
	I got eight kids.
	And then he said...
	How do you write that out?
	And he wrote me a note recently.
	And I said, weren't you the guy that was like...
	So, okay.
	Of course, of course we welcome you back.
	You've been de-douched.
	Come on back in.
	We welcome everybody back.
	Second chances are us.
	Okay, now close the hatch.
	Sir Bernie Adama in Hinton, Iowa.
	55-10.
	He says, please break for a night.
	Give me two to the head and a Yoko.

	Happy birthday from everybody here at the best podcast in the universe!
	It's your birthday, yeah!
	Boom!
	Okay, now we have title changes.
	If I recall correctly, they didn't want the Bowie title change, but wanted the Bob Dylan title changes.
	Someone wanted them.
	Tonight's title change!
	That's the Dylan one.
	Here we go.
	Here's the different one.
	I'm a douchebag producer and slave.
	As we all thank your brothers and sisters who gave.
	And some of them nights, some of them days.
	For the titles are a-changing.
	And we congratulate Michael Sussman.
	He becomes Baronet.
	Snozzages from Suwannee, Georgia.
	Sir Joel Blazek becomes Baronet of the No Agenda Roundtable, the Battle Born Black Knight.
	And finally, Scott Lavender becomes Baronet Sir Amen Fistbump.
	Can't resist.
	Don't want to be a douchebag.
	All right, John, we have two people to be knighted today, so let me get my blade out there.
	Do you have your blade?
	Your blade, blade, blade.
	What's your blade, bro?
	Yeah, here it comes.
	Braid, bro?
	Perfect.
	All right, everybody, on the stage, I need John Jensen and Jay Anonymous.
	Gentlemen, both of you.
	Have contributed to the best podcast in the universe amount of $1,000 or more.
	We are very, very grateful for that.
	And of course, that entitles you to become a knight of the Noah Jenner Roundtable.
	Your chairs are ready, but first let me officially pronounce the KD as Sir American Carnage and Circumference.
	Night of the open road, gentlemen for you, the obligatory hookers and blow-rim boys and chardonnay, labia and lasagna, white widow and brownies, we've got DMT and astral travel, bad science and turkey breasts, puppies and tailors, vintage port gates and sake, vodka, vanilla, bong hits and bourbon, sparkling siren escorts, ginger ale and gerbils, breast milk and pablum, and mutton and mead.
	You can tell I'm on the mend.
	I made it.
	The secret is a humidifier.
	That has saved my life.
	I had no idea how dry it was in Austin.
	And now I'm not coughing as bad.
	I'm on the mend.
	And I can actually get through a donation.
	You needed some moisture in the air.
	I did.
	I needed some moisture.
	Thank you very much, everybody.
	You know, there are two notes that I think I keep them to Sunday.
	I just want to let you know that we have them.
	We have...
	This is a lawyer in a state who deconstructs the temporary restraining order and the executive order in a beautiful way.
	We'll do that on Sunday.
	Also, we have someone who works at the United States Forest Service who has the inside thoughts on the gag order, the no tweeting thing.
	This is a classic tease.
	Yeah, there's a classic tease.
	Classic tease.
	Classic.
	Classic.
	Okay.
	I got a few things here.
	Where would you like to...
	Oh, you know, something...
	I got a day in.
	But wait, before we do that, something odd happened in Parliament the other day.
	And this, of course, is...
	There's a lot of stuff going on in the UK Parliament.
	This relates to Brexit.
	Brexit.
	And all of a sudden, the ministers of parliament started humming and singing the European Union national anthem in parliament.
	It was the Labour Party.
	Was it just the Labour Party?
	Pretty much.
	They're the stay in the EU guys?
	Oh yeah, the Labour Party.
	Because it's so good for the workers to be run by alien workers.
	Yeah, when you're part of the global media world order.
	Yeah, that makes sense.
	Labour Party.
	Idiots. Order! Order!
	Yes!
	Miss Gibson, it's very good to you all the choir, but what I would say is, I personally don't mind singing, but I certainly can't allow it in the chamber.
	Because before we know it, we could hear other tunes, and I don't want to get into that.
	So, you know, and some of them haven't quite got the voice on this side of the chamber as what they might have on there.
	So please, I don't want to sing off.
	It's very good of you.
	Much appreciated.
	But if you can just leave it for a little while, it's been a very tense week already.
	I just don't need any extra.
	Thank you.
	Oh, man.
	Those guys.
	I got a couple things.
	Well, it says we're in Parliament.
	Oh, okay.
	Good.
	I have the end.
	I don't have the whole thing because it goes for three and a half minutes, but I got some of it, which is the Burkow.
	What's this?
	I don't know anything about this.
	Burkow, the head of...
	The Speaker of the House.
	Ah, yes.
	Okay.
	Who's not supposed to say anything like this that he's just about to say.
	No, he's supposed to, he's, yeah.
	He's a neutral arbiter.
	But now he's got to blow off his theme about Trump being a racist sexist because Parliament's been giving Trump bad time for a long time.
	So, but this is another example.
	This is Burkow going on a little rant about how they don't want him to speak to Parliament.
	I mentioned it in the newsletter.
	And when they pull back for the full shot The only people sitting there listening to this is the Labour Party.
	The Tories are not even in the room.
	It was the most bizarre statement.
	It was almost like he was making a speech.
	No, no, this is not it.
	That's the counter.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	Which one is it then?
	It's Burkow.
	I think it says Burkow.
	Although customarily, an invitation to a visiting leader to deliver an address there would be issued in the names of the two speakers.
	I would not wish to issue an invitation to...
	To speak in the Royal Gallery.
	And I conclude by saying to the honourable gentleman this.
	We value our relationship with the United States.
	If a state visit takes place, that is way beyond and above the pay grade of the Speaker.
	However, as far as this place is concerned, I feel very strongly that our opposition to racism and to sexism, and our support for equality before the law and an independent and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary, are hugely important considerations in the House of
	Point of order, Mr Skinner.
	Further to that point of order, two words, well done.
	Well done.
	Well done, man.
	Well done.
	Now he's up for possibly getting kicked out.
	Oh, yeah.
	You can play the other clip, which is the retort some MP ranted about after he did all this.
	...most bizarre statement.
	It was almost like he was making a speech.
	It is the Speaker's role to protect Parliament, to protect pressure of interests within Parliament.
	It's not his job to distinguish who comes to Parliament.
	This is for Parliament to discuss.
	Personally, I think we should embrace Donald Trump.
	He has been elected by the United States, and we need to work with the elected president.
	It is wholly inappropriate for the Speaker of the House to enter the fray on this issue.
	Really, you know, the applause was ludicrous.
	You know, he needs to have a little more animated stuff.
	This is not as good as the other guy.
	It's just not good.
	I'm good.
	It's not convincing me.
	I got a couple of millennial emails, which I'd like to share.
	First, Brandon.
	I'm not going to give his last name because he said, hey, I'm an athlete at the University of Arkansas.
	I have a vested interest in that.
	One of the Keeper's kids goes there.
	Majoring in business and marketing.
	One of the classes that I'm required to take is sociology.
	We were given a quiz in which I scored a 100.
	Dude, they're trying to brainwash us.
	Attached are the two questions I'm referring to.
	Thank you for your media assassination.
	Here we go.
	Question number four, and I will give you the one, two, three, the four.
	It's a multiple choice.
	I'll give you the four answers.
	Are you ready?
	Yep.
	The president's immigration ban sparked nationwide protests which force our society to acknowledge the growing conflict between A. Democrats and Republicans B. Liberal and conservative values B. C. Muslims and Christians.
	or D, real and ideal culture?
	The correct answer is...
	Real and ideal culture.
	What?
	Yes, sir.
	Yes, sir.
	Well, all the answers I thought would be good.
	You could say yes, yes, yes to all of them.
	And I think it would be reasonable to choose all of them.
	The last one seemed like the weakest one.
	Let's try question number five.
	The core American value at the heart of this conflict is A. Freedom of speech B. Conformity C. Religious freedom or D. Material comfort What say you?
	I would say, again, you could make an argument for each one of those answers.
	But what's the one that they chose?
	And then I will say in advance, it's probably the weakest.
	Again, freedom of speech, conformity, religious freedom, and material comfort.
	Actually, I take it back.
	Freedom of speech is not the issue here.
	So that's out.
	What was number two again?
	Conformity?
	Can't be conformity.
	That's out.
	Alright.
	Number three, religious freedom.
	Well, not really.
	So that's out.
	And number four, material comfort.
	Makes no sense.
	That's out too.
	So there must be another answer.
	The correct answer is religious freedom.
	It's a brainwash.
	That's bullshit.
	Yeah.
	That's totally not true.
	It's totally not true.
	But he got a hundred.
	He got it right.
	Yeah, he got it right.
	Now I received...
	I just want to see who this was from.
	This is from...
	Gosh darn it.
	I'll have to figure out which university this was from.
	It's actually a two-pager.
	I have a PDF. It's very cute.
	LGBTQIA. Language is constantly evolving and these definitions are not by any means comprehensive.
	These are terms of self-identification and should not be used to label others without their consent.
	This is the LGBTQIA terminology.
	So, why don't I just read them off and if you want to know the explanation of any of these terms, I can expand on that.
	Hold on a second.
	Yeah, you gotta stop this.
	That other quiz has still got me working on my brain.
	Okay.
	Wasn't this a sociology class?
	Yes, sir.
	Yes, sir.
	That's current events, those questions.
	Yeah.
	What's religious freedom got to do with sociology?
	These are not sociological questions.
	These are current events Thank you.
	concerning that is University of Arkansas, where we have a student at this moment, and that should be taken into consideration.
	You want to brainwash kids.
	You've already said that.
	Okay.
	Go on.
	Okay.
	This is actually producer Paul Pierre de Mont, Pierre de Mont sent this to us.
	It's from Syracuse University.
	And it's a helpful little guide to explain and understand the biological sex spectrum, the gender expression spectrum, gender identity spectrum, and sexuality spectrum, so that you can at least have the proper terms and so that you can at least have the proper terms and understand what they So I figured I'd just read them.
	If there's something you'd like me to expand and read the definition, I'm happy to do it.
	Go.
	Ally.
	Asexual.
	Biological sex.
	Binding.
	Binding.
	The act of pressing one's breast to one's chest with restrictive materials to have the appearance of a more masculine chest.
	Wow, that's new for me.
	We continue.
	Bisexual.
	Butch.
	Let's read Butch.
	A term typically used to identify a person with a masculine gender presentation, although this term has and is still used negatively towards members of the LGBTQIA plus community, this term has been reappropriated by some queer people to self-identify.
	So I guess if you're queer, you can use it.
	Cisgender.
	Ooh!
	Cisgender privilege.
	This would be us.
	Yeah, I've heard that.
	Okay.
	Closet.
	Coming out, cross-dresser, demisexual, a person who is not immediately sexually attracted to other people, a person whose sexual attraction to another person develops after developing a relationship, not necessarily a romantic one, often considered with the asexuality spectrum.
	Geez.
	I'm a demisexual.
	Damn.
	Do you have pansexual in that list?
	We're still a D. Down low, drag king, drag queen, dyke, femme, flaming.
	Wait, you went to F. You left one out.
	There's no E's there.
	There's no E. No, D. Diesel dyke.
	Come on!
	There's no Diesel Dyke in there.
	Dyke.
	Although this term has and still is used as a slur, the term has been reappropriated by some lesbians to identify themselves as a type of lesbian that are characterized as tough and more masculine in presentation.
	Then we have femme, flaming, FTM, gay, gender confirmation surgery, gender bending, gender binary, gender cues, gender expression, gender identity, gender queer, gender spectrum, gender and sexuality,
	gender and sexual minority, also known as GSM, heteronormative, Really?
	Like what?
	Homophobia, homosexuality, hormone replacement therapy, intersex, lesbian, lipstick lesbian, LGBTQIA, MTF, outing, packing, packing, packing, wearing something in one's groin region to have more masculine appearance.
	Okay.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	This is Syracuse University, John.
	Hey man, that guy's packing.
	He's packing bad.
	When somebody says that to me, they say the guy's packing.
	I think he's got like a 45.
	Yeah, like he's strapped.
	Yeah, he's got some...
	He's loaded for bear.
	Passing.
	He's the same thing.
	Loaded for bear.
	What are you going to do?
	Polyamorous, queer, queer bashing, questioning, same gender loving, sexual...
	What about pansexual?
	Yes, pansexual.
	Someone who is sexually and emotionally attracted to people regardless of their gender.
	People who do not restrict their emotional and physical attraction to people identifying exclusively as male or female often use this identity.
	This term adheres to the idea of a gender spectrum rather than a gender binary.
	Yeah.
	Queer bashing, questioning.
	What has any of this got to do with learning something in a university setting?
	So as not to offend other people.
	That's what it said right at the top.
	So you need to use these pronouns and these descriptions.
	I'd be preoccupied with trying to remember what means this and that, and they don't even have diesel dyke on there.
	We need a cheat sheet.
	It could be an app.
	It could be an app.
	There you go.
	There's an app for that.
	An app.
	What you do is you have your app, and you face your camera towards someone, and it'll go bing, bing, bing, bing, bing.
	Pansexual.
	There you go.
	That would work.
	Okay, we have, it's almost there.
	Questioning, same gender loving, sex, sexuality, stud, trans, stud.
	Yes.
	Terms that typically describe a more masculine and dominant presenting lesbian.
	A stud is a girl?
	Yeah, a lesbian.
	When I grew up, a stud was a dude.
	Yeah, a stud was always a dude.
	No longer.
	A stud, man.
	That guy's a stud.
	No longer.
	Now that chick's a stud.
	The chick's a stud.
	What?
	Transman, transphobia, transwoman, transvestite.
	And that is it.
	We're done.
	Fantastic.
	Yes.
	Alright, I've got two pieces of the last two pieces I have for this show.
	I have two pieces of what I consider unreported news.
	Okay.
	The first one is the Paris riots.
	Do you know about this?
	Uh, no.
	Yeah, of course not.
	No.
	Nobody's reporting it.
	No.
	Yeah.
	Huge riots in Paris.
	As we speak, if you go to Paris, you might get to run into some riots.
	Is there a clip that I'm looking for?
	Yeah, it should be.
	I can't find it.
	Oh, I see.
	Underreported.
	Sorry.
	Got it.
	Had to look at the U's.
	Well, the unrest began in the Paris suburb where the alleged rape occurred and has now extended to other parts of the capital.
	Scenes of chaos have seen windows smashed, cars torched in several districts.
	Security forces were confronted by angry crowds and at one point fired warning shots into the air, according to local media.
	Well, videos have been emerging online showing demonstrators being detained.
	And at least two dozen people have been arrested in the past 24 hours.
	RT's Charlotte Dubensky has been following the story in the French capital.
	Tensions high here in Paris.
	If you just come over with me here, you may be able to hear some of the shouts that people are saying.
	They're saying everybody hates the police.
	And the reason people are here in Paris protesting is against perceived police brutality.
	These protests follow an incident last Thursday in the northern suburbs of Paris, where a 22-year-old black man was allegedly assaulted by police officers.
	The police officers are now under investigation.
	They face one charge of rape and three charges of aggravated assault.
	They deny those charges.
	But people have come out again in Paris to protest this perceived police brutality.
	We were in Aulnay-Saint-Bourg where that incident took place on Tuesday and we were told that we had to leave the area by groups of youths.
	We had rocks thrown at us, and we actually saw some journalists being assaulted by the same group who had told us to leave.
	Now, here in Paris, you might be able to see there is a row of police officers.
	The riot police are out in force tonight.
	And what we have seen are crowds being dispersed across these streets, almost being kettled into areas.
	And if you just look down here, you'll see that the protesters have also been throwing bottles and smashing glass, not just at the riot police, but also at us, the media crews.
	We have been threatened here tonight.
	Tensions very high here in Paris.
	Thousands of people out on the streets to protest against police brutality.
	I have always respected the French for their courage.
	They just don't take shit.
	I just find this story to be a little incredible from the perspective of...
	I've heard of a lot of police brutality stories, but not one where they rape a black guy.
	No, no.
	Very strange.
	I have two quick stories.
	Pedo Bear stories.
	You could call it Pizzagate if you want.
	You know, this is interesting that you bring this up because I didn't think to bring it up.
	But there's been a lot of YouTubers.
	These guys who do these fake shows that have been going on and on about it.
	It always starts off like this.
	Hi YouTube!
	Or hi YouTubers!
	That's how all the shows start off.
	They say that they're going to...
	The whole Pizzagate thing is going to be 75, 100 politicians are going to be arrested at any minute now.
	Let me read to you the following.
	First of all, from Reuters, could be fake news, but they're pretty good.
	Um...
	Police have raided a hotel in Haiti.
	Now you remember that one of the Clinton confidants was arrested taking children out of Haiti.
	I don't think she was thrown in jail, but there's a lot of implication that those were kids for sex trafficking.
	And now, Haitian police have arrested nine people in connection with sex trafficking involving girls as young as 13, highlighting the dangers facing children in the Caribbean nation at the Calico Beach Club near the Haitian capital.
	So maybe we can find some stories where Bill used to visit that.
	I don't know.
	And then the other story which you just mentioned, which is not from an official source, but apparently an FBI whistleblower.
	I don't have a name for him.
	Estimates that close to 30% of the political spectrum in Washington, D.C. is connected to the elite pedophile ring that has been infiltrated by law enforcement with, quote, high levels of arrest close to three dozen pedophile politicians expected next week.
	That's the story.
	We'll see what happens.
	Nothing's gonna happen.
	This is bogus.
	I don't know if the information is bogus, but yeah, probably nothing's gonna happen.
	You're the one that talked me out of the whole Pizzagate thing.
	No, Pizzagate has nothing to do with...
	Well, these guys are all talking This is the real, like Haiti, this is real stuff with real victims.
	You see?
	This is what I love about Pizzagate.
	Oh, it's all happening!
	When you have victims, then it actually happened.
	So we'll see if this is bullshit or not.
	But no doubt, John, there's a lot of that going on in Washington, D.C. No, I'm not saying it's not going on.
	I'm just saying that these guys, it's all very sketchy YouTubers.
	It has nothing to do with Pizzagate.
	As far as I know, it doesn't matter.
	Anyway, I just wanted to throw that.
	And the last one.
	I might as well go completely full crazy on you.
	The mayor of Ankara in Turkey warned that outside forces could be using sophisticated technology to trigger...
	And this is from AFP. Outside forces could be using sophisticated technology to try to trigger a man-made earthquake in a deliberate bid to harm Turkey's fragile economy.
	Yeah!
	Yeah.
	Nice.
	Peace.
	And I will just remind everyone that it was Secretary of Defense Cohen who stated before Congress that there are many forces who have this type of technology and that when he made that statement, we should be considering it too.
	So I'm not just sucking this out of the air.
	No, you're just sucking.
	Wow, man.
	If there's an earthquake tomorrow in Turkey, you'll eat them words.
	I can do one more unreported story.
	Yes.
	I could just play the little Rohrabacher ISO. No.
	Well, you should hear it.
	Okay.
	Well, I'll do the Rohrabacher ISO. Ready?
	The marijuana thing is such a big thing.
	I think medical should be happening.
	Yes, right.
	Good.
	End of show.
	Ransomware cameras in DC is a story, but I can push that off.
	Well, we talked about that.
	Yeah, a little bit.
	Yeah.
	Uh...
	Ivanka had her stuff pulled out.
	Oh, please.
	I'm so sick and tired of this.
	I'm really not interested.
	I like it.
	Okay, let's play that.
	No, no, no.
	It's not important.
	I just said the whole story.
	Violence in movies is a good clip.
	Yeah.
	I like this guy Tim Scott.
	He's starting to get some...
	Yes, I got a clip from him too.
	Let's play yours.
	I got the long version of the clip, which I think is pretty good because there's new information, man.
	Yeah, yeah.
	The new shit has come to light.
	Do you want to set it up with that?
	Yeah, I just...
	Tim Scott's a black...
	Well, hold on, John.
	Hold on.
	Let me just stop you right there for one second.
	I've got information, man.
	New shit has come to light.
	All right, go.
	He's the partner, the South Carolina senator, along with Trey Gowdy, and he's the black guy, and he's very erudite, he's sensible, but he gets nothing but grief because he's a black Republican who happens to be a conservative, and of course you can't have that.
	Oh, Uncle Tom!
	So he's supporting Jeff Sessions and here's what he has to say.
	I somehow am not helpful to the cause of liberal America and therefore I am not helpful to black America.
	Because they see those as one and the same.
	I brought some of the pages of chats that I have.
	Actually, I'll have to chat the comments I get from Twitter about my support of Jeff Sessions.
	Tracy V. Johnson, Mr.
	Tracy J, sends in Senator Uncle Tim Scott.
	Everyone in South Carolina who happens to be...
	Wow, wait a minute.
	Someone called him Uncle Tom, basically?
	Oh, he got a number of Uncle Toms, and also he says he didn't read any of the ones that used the N-word, which is numerous.
	Oh, jeez.
	Everyone in South Carolina who happens to be a left-winger knows that Tim Scott is an Uncle Tom.
	Oh, man.
	S is documented.
	S is not for Scott.
	It is for fertilizer.
	S Scott says, a white man in a black body, Tim Scott, backs Jeff Sessions for attorney general.
	Now, wait, who's saying this?
	These are his tweets, mean tweets.
	Oh, mean tweets.
	Of my chief of staff, the only...
	Wait, I gotta teach this guy how to block.
	Just block.
	He should have said that.
	Block!
	At this point, he brings something up that I had no clue, and I think it's reprehensible that what he's about to say is absolutely true.
	Back's Jeff Session for Attorney General.
	Of my chief of staff, the only, until three weeks ago, the only African-American chief of staff in the United States Senate out of 100...
	Is the Chief of Staff for a Republican.
	The second...
	That was the surprising thing, huh?
	That would really surprise me.
	And then there's a second one he mentions.
	The American Chief of Staff in the United States Senate is the Chief of Staff of a Republican.
	And yet, they say of my Chief of Staff, she's high yellow...
	An implication that she's just not black enough.
	My goodness.
	So he points out that he's got one, and then somehow you stepped over the other one, which is the second one.
	One of the other people has a black chief of staff, and they're also a Republican.
	There's no Democrats with a black chief of staff, which you'd think there might be one?
	Probably.
	I didn't know that.
	I found that to be very interesting.
	Let's go out on something fun, John.
	That was kind of a bummer.
	These guys are racists.
	Yeah, racists.
	Could you just give me one that's fun?
	Okay, here's one.
	This is educational and fun.
	Tom Brady, your buddy, at the Super Bowl, who won the game against all odds.
	He had his jersey stolen.
	Yeah.
	And the numbers that they did, what these things are valued at makes this a very interesting clip.
	Centered around one sweaty shirt.
	As the Super Bowl champion Patriots made their way through the slushy streets of Boston, so did the news about Tom Brady's stolen jersey.
	Did they hear about Brady's stolen jersey?
	Somebody stole his jersey!
	They should give it back!
	The moment Brady realized his number 12 was missing Sunday was caught on this locker room video.
	Hey, did someone take my jersey?
	I put it in my bag.
	I absolutely 100% put it in my bag.
	He put out a be on the lookout soon after.
	So if it shows up on eBay somewhere, someone let me know.
	Try to track that down.
	It's estimated the game-worn jersey could be worth at least a half million dollars on the auction block.
	Compare that with Babe Ruth's 1932 World Series jersey, which sold for more than a million, and a 1956 Yogi Berra jersey, which sold for half of that.
	While the mystery is yet to be resolved, fans here put the theft in perspective.
	I don't even know who took it or what, but it's a jersey.
	We got the Lombardi trophy.
	We got the fifth ring.
	It's all good.
	My goodness, half a million bucks.
	A million dollars for that.
	Yeah, I watched Antiques Roadshow.
	Yeah.
	And they have like, oh, this is an original Rembrandt, but it's only one of his drawings, and it's probably worth about, you know, $150,000.
	And people are happy.
	And they have a baseball.
	Oh, that baby's worth $3 million.
	Ha, ha, ha.
	You know, relative junk.
	That's crazy, man.
	Love it.
	All right, everybody.
	Thank you so much for tuning in to the best podcast in the universe.
	That's our show once again for today.
	And remember us at thevorak.org slash NA. Nothing to watch, nothing to do tonight, I don't think, right?
	We're all...
	No.
	Not really.
	Good.
	Then we will just continue to deconstruct.
	And remember, you're the producers.
	Produce.
	Coming to you from the Crackpot Condo here in downtown Austin, the skyscraper.
	That's FEMA Region 6 on all governmental maps.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where, by the way, it's rained the whole show.
	It's been raining and raining and raining and raining.
	And they're going to probably end up charging us more on our water bill because they have to deal with all this extra water.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We will return on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
	Adios, mofos.
	Fear outsiders.
	Oh, wow, that's really good.
	Oh, wow. wow.
	I mean, they can't deal with the rapings, they can't deal with terrorism, no masculine power in our society to fight back.
	And that's because our culture has become feminized.
	Men here are brought up to be women, think like women, and be soft-minded.
	That is what Europe is about.
	Men in minis, taking a stance in skirts.
	Men in minis, but will it solve the problem?
	Men in minis, taking a stance in skirts.
	Men in minis, but will it solve the problem?
	That was not what you used to be.
	Normally I've had like male hero virtues.
	A culture needs to be balanced.
	You need to have both the masculine part and the feminine part.
	So the vacuum that feminism has created means that women are becoming victims and needs to take responsibility to defend the women, the children, and the culture.
	because now, I mean, this postmodern project is dead.
	Men in minutes, taking a stance in skirts.
	Men in minutes, but will it solve the problem?
	Men in minutes, taking a stance in skirts.
	Men in minutes, but will it solve the problem?
	Men in minutes, taking a stance in skirts.
	Men in minutes, but will it solve the problem?
	Maybe this secular humanism is just an illusion.
	The marijuana thing is such a big thing.
	I think medical should be happening.
	Yes, right.
	Whenever the president finds any aliens, okay, any aliens, or of any class of aliens, whenever the president finds aliens, whenever the president finds aliens, Any aliens.
	Or of any class of aliens.
	Of Putin.
	Trump's travel ban.
	A federal judge at this hour granting a fail!
	The ruling of the judge.
	A federal judge at this hour granting a fail!
	That's right.
	Piccadillo.
	Order on immigration nationwide.
	You don't like it?
	The ruling of the judge.
	Look it up.
	Piccadillo?
	It's actually Piccadillo.
	The mayonnaise and the french fries?
	No, man.
	No longer.
	This can't be, I mean, this now is the law of the land.
	I could be a law.
	The ruling of the judge and federal judges.
	Sort of paint the entertainment world.
	I mean, this now is the law of the land.
	This is another fractal of the split.
	Oh, right.
	That's exactly what it is.
	But the question is, in which fractal do people live?
	Maybe you can catch in except for you.
	Do your mayonnaise on your junkie of fresh shit?
	No!
	You got to be a standard!
	Act on the people live.
	I don't have solid air.
	You only have the fractal in display.
	I'm ready!
	I'm ready!
	This is right!
	These are fucking assholes!
	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 are right now.
	This is late!
	These are fucking assholes!
	That shows it.
	It does.
	It does.
	I think they should just cut their nuts off.
	Now is the law of the land that they're going to go back to the way things are right now.
	The law of the land that they're going to go...
	Relations were tested on Thursday following the phone call.
	And she's also a talk with.
	Between the nation's two leaders in which Trump purportedly labeled that refugee.
	Settlement deal.
	Dumb.
	What it means is that.
	Adios, mofo.
	Whee!
