	So have fun, be positive, and enjoy your amazing job.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	And Thursday, February 16, 2017, this is your award-winning Gimo Nation Media Assassination Episode 904.
	This is no agenda.
	Deconstruct in the deep state, because that's what we do.
	And broadcasting live from the darkest corners on the internet in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're watching Mockingbirds having sex, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's crack, blood, and buzzkill in the morning.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's what happens once you're over 60.
	Mockingbirds.
	There's birds over there.
	So we're talking about birds.
	I had a flock of turkeys on the street with the tom.
	I'm going to post this.
	I'm sorry.
	With the tom?
	The tom.
	What's the tom?
	The...
	Tom's a big old bird with a big furl, a big tail.
	Is the Tom male or female?
	Yeah, the Tom's always a male.
	It's Tom.
	It's not Toma or Tomasina.
	Might be around here.
	It could be a butch.
	You never know.
	So it's a Tom turkey.
	Don't you assume that turkey's gender?
	Like a labor gang boss.
	It's unbelievable.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
	I can't stop it.
	Hold on.
	What the hell was that?
	It went out of control.
	Sorry.
	It's your birthday birthday.
	It went out of control.
	I'm sorry.
	Birthday birthday.
	Messed up.
	So it was a tom, big tom, the middle of the street with 20 hens.
	Oh.
	And this is...
	They're all eating, pecking away or whatever.
	I don't know what they eat.
	And this is exciting to you.
	It was dangerous.
	These things are not friendly birds.
	Hmm.
	Well, there you go.
	I have photos.
	I'll put the photos on.
	We learn something new every single day.
	It's annoying, these birds.
	We have an invasion.
	It's an invasive species.
	It's all over the Bay Area, but in our town, it's just like really filling up the place.
	They're all over the place.
	The UPS guy couldn't get through because there's birds in the way.
	So I was talking to him.
	What we have to do is find the cache of eggs.
	Turkey eggs are a delicacy.
	They're dynamite.
	They're about the size of a duck egg, but they're tastier.
	Duck eggs are chalky and they're kind of rubbery.
	They're not very good.
	Chicken eggs are good.
	Goose eggs are fantastic.
	Well, I feel completely set.
	I'm good to go for the whole week now.
	Is she looking for a turkey egg?
	What did you do for Valentine's Day?
	Anything?
	Mimi was there over, wasn't she?
	We went to the restaurant in Oakland.
	It's a very interesting Chinese restaurant considered as one of the great Chinese restaurants in Oakland, even though it's kind of a dive.
	It's not really a dive.
	It's very clean, but a small, out-of-the-way place called Shandong.
	You're one of those guys who's like, baby, I'm going to take you on a romantic little dinner here.
	I know this little place.
	It's very small.
	Well, the problem was, of course, is that I wanted to go to dinner, but it was DH Unplugged Night, and the show must go on.
	Yes, yes, we know what it is.
	It went to lunch.
	And the show has to be live, just so you know.
	Oh, we'll get to it later, maybe, but clearly the video experiment never has to be repeated again.
	Why?
	Why?
	I saw the spreadsheet today.
	It doesn't look like everybody was also happy.
	Oh, no, yeah.
	You did the video experiment, and not only did nobody want you to do it again, but we have low numbers.
	Yeah.
	Proof.
	Proof was in the pudding.
	Yeah.
	They don't want you to do it at all.
	Well, I think we've...
	Yeah.
	I think we've...
	We figured it out.
	It's unnecessary, and people don't really care.
	Yep.
	Well, we knew that all along.
	You just had some rig set up because it was so, I was looking at it, it's like, what?
	So fancy, you had all these things on the screen and cut-ins and...
	Wait, who's this?
	You're, you're thinking, like, picture in a picture.
	Well, it is fancy.
	The whole show is fancy.
	Yeah, I know, but I didn't know you had the video set up, so you had a six-camera shoot there, you had it all going through some sort of a mixer.
	I don't know, it wasn't all that bad.
	Well, it wasn't the Grammys.
	What do you mean?
	Oh, I did watch and...
	Did you see it?
	Did you see the Grammys?
	I watched...
	I sped watched.
	I rushed through it.
	I found it to be self-absorbed.
	I don't like Corden.
	He reminds me of a less funny version of Conan's sidekick.
	I can't remember his name offhand.
	Yeah, Andy.
	Andy Richter.
	Andy Richter, who's much funnier.
	And they look pretty much like the same guy, except that Corden can sing a little.
	Let me tell you what's going on, what I saw.
	Another Ken Ehrlich production, which I was surprised by because it was much better.
	Everything was live.
	It was a very complicated production.
	I just know this from experience.
	And Ken Ehrlich, who I've worked with, I didn't think he could...
	I was surprised when I saw his name on the credits.
	Like, really?
	Ehrlich did all this?
	I thought, technically, it was a great show.
	I did like that a lot, but...
	It was so obvious.
	This is like the deck chairs on the Titanic.
	This was the music industry giving one last...
	We can do it, guys!
	We can do it!
	And I was looking at the red carpet on E!
	and later on the network, and just about everybody, including Katy Perry, what's her name, Demi Lovato, all these girls, you know, what are you doing?
	I don't, you know, I'm thinking about, I'm working on reinventing myself.
	Everyone's trying to figure stuff out because there's no more money for these people.
	It was all on the screen.
	Someone spent a lot of money to make it look like there's something really going on.
	The only true artist is Adele, And I love that she just...
	I heard it.
	I was like, whoa, she's off, man.
	She completely...
	She missed one of the...
	Even the piano screwed up or whatever.
	Now she's completely off-key.
	She's singing a different song.
	I'm glad she stopped.
	That I liked a lot.
	But then she went and ruined everything by saying, I'm not worthy of my album.
	It should have been you, Queen Bee.
	That is the ultimate admission of white guilt and white privilege.
	That's what she was doing.
	She was up there saying, oh, it should have been you, but you're black.
	Before this thing ran, I was under the impression Beyonce won nothing.
	She won the Best Album Award.
	Or album of the year or something.
	That, by the way, that whole Beyonce performance, that was your Illuminati moment.
	That was the Illuminati block in the rundown of the show.
	Yes, definitely.
	Oh, my goodness.
	I do have one clip.
	Oh, good.
	I have the No American Men in...
	Oh, no, no, no.
	I got two clips.
	First of all, what is this sexist bullcrap on the...
	We have solo artists in country and we have no American men at all nominated amongst all the tons of country and western singers we have.
	Play no American men in country.
	Here's what we had for our choices.
	In the next country category there are five talented performers.
	Four strong women and one guitar slinging Aussie.
	I'm proud to be in country music with all five of them.
	These are the nominations for best country solo performance.
	Love can go to hell, Brandi Clark.
	Vice, Miranda Lambert Hallelujah!
	High Church, Maren Morris Just listen to the church bells when you're Church Bells, Carrie Underwood.
	Blue ain't your color.
	Keith Urban.
	Where's the Americans?
	Where's the American male?
	The American male has been cut out.
	Yeah, there's no American male.
	You're right.
	It's just an Aussie.
	And then the only thing left was the thing that got me was the President Agent, I have the clip, President Agent Orange.
	Yes, that was funny.
	I just want to thank President Agent Orange for perpetuating all of the evil that you've been perpetuating throughout the United States.
	I want to thank President Agent Orange.
	A successful attempt at the Muslim ban.
	When we come together, we the people.
	We the people.
	We don't believe you.
	Oh, man.
	Yeah, that was funny.
	Hey, you know what?
	Let's have no one protest anything, but let's build a whole set for the black guys.
	Yeah, let them do it.
	And so you do this insulting, you know, the center of evil, President Agent Orange, you know, reference another kind of a visual reference, a slam against somebody's appearance.
	And then, a couple of sets later, Hey, by the way, we'd like to get more government support for the arts.
	Yeah.
	I mean, are you kidding me?
	That was pretty wild.
	Let's go insult the government and then beg for money?
	And you expect to get some?
	You're lucky you don't get everything pulled.
	That's what I'd do.
	You gotta love it.
	What gall these guys have to be begging for money after slamming the...
	The president, who I think is the guy they're begging for money from.
	Yes, ridiculous.
	President Agent Orange.
	Yeah, President Agent Orange.
	I'm not quite sure how I'm making this.
	Oh yeah, the American men, that's how I'm making this link.
	Now, correct me if I'm mistaken.
	American white men, apparently.
	Is it inappropriate these days in Hollywood to have someone who is not transgendered play a transgendered person?
	No.
	Well, this is the blackface issue, it seems to me.
	Then stop right there.
	I personally feel, if we're going to be completely fair and equal across the board, that Melissa McCarthy has no business appropriating white male culture.
	That should be a white man playing that role.
	Why does it have to be her?
	She's doing blackface.
	She's exactly right.
	And no one sees the hypocrisy in all of that.
	Now, it's extremely funny, but how come she can be funny, but if someone else who's not a woman, transgender, gay, whatever it is, if they play someone else, if someone else plays that, then it's, oh, outrage, no good.
	Well, in a comedic situation, historically, men have played women all the time.
	I mean, they used to play women in the Elizabethan times when they weren't allowed on the stage.
	Women weren't allowed to be on the stage.
	And so a lot of the Shakespeare's plays were played by men.
	And then, of course, actresses came along and kind of demanded to get these parts.
	Didn't the word originally, the word actress...
	Wasn't that, in Greek language, a word for prostitute?
	Maybe I'm mistaken on this.
	Maybe it's an urban object.
	I don't think that's true.
	But they were always seen as prostitutes.
	I mean, female actresses have always been looked down upon by their families.
	How little things change, John.
	And so, but anyway, they got their roles and so it was men and women playing the roles on the stage and screen and plays.
	But in comedic circles, it was always okay for a man to play a woman and usually in a farcical way.
	And it was also okay only until recently for whites to do blackface because it was actually blacks who did blackface first.
	Mm-hmm.
	But then that became, no, no, no, it's exploitation.
	Then it became the same way with Chinese.
	We had a couple of movie series.
	Mr.
	Moto, for example, with Peter White playing a Japanese character.
	Charlie Chan was played by, I can't remember his name, but he was the white guy dressed up as a Chinese.
	And then they stopped allowing that.
	And so then you have the ethnic roles played.
	We're the last holdout.
	The last holdout.
	Until that Thunder movie, whatever it was called, where you had Robert Downey Jr.
	in blackface.
	Yeah.
	And nobody complained about that.
	Well, it's Robert Downey Jr.
	He's a liberal, you see, according to John Legend.
	Yeah, there you go.
	I ran across an interview from an author named Scott Greer.
	Actually, this is, man, Tucker Carlson's doing some good work.
	He's great for little fun clips.
	This guy wrote a book called No Campus for White Men.
	He wrote a book about what's going on in our universities in the United States.
	And I would beg to say that it probably is happening in other places of the world.
	But I wanted to share this with you because I've ordered a book.
	I want to read this now.
	Well, what's changed is that over the last five years, and it actually sends longer to that, but it's really gravitated toward in the last five years, is that identity politics and victimhood culture have taken over higher education.
	Basically, with the two points, identity politics stress that basically all a person should care about is their own narrow group interests and the identity they ascribe to themselves.
	Such as, if I'm an African-American man, that's all my politics, and I only care about furthering the interests of my specific group, African-Americans.
	And that's become dominant on campus because they encourage it through affirmative action and other procedures that encourages people to gravitate towards specific identities for more benefit.
	And the second and more important in some ways is victimhood culture.
	Where everybody kind of competes to be the biggest victim.
	And a lot of people are like, well, why are these young people trying to pretend to be victims?
	Nobody wants to be a victim.
	But the reason why they do that is because we assign moral status in the college moral culture that's being created to who's the bigger victim.
	Who's more oppressed?
	Who's more oppressed gets more status in that moral hierarchy created?
	And if you're privileged, then that's the worst thing that can happen.
	And say, like, in an older moral culture, if you're, like, demonically possessed, that's the lowest.
	With this, it's like, if you're privileged, that's the worst thing you can be.
	But being a victim is the best thing you can be.
	But when your victimhood isn't assigned by based on socioeconomic status, you can be the son of a poor coal miner from West Virginia, and you're privileged, and you can be the son of a wealthy multimillionaire, but African-American, and you're oppressed.
	And that's how the system works.
	It's called bigotry.
	That's how the system works.
	Just bigotry.
	I know I played the founder of By Any Means Necessary on the previous show, but she also appeared on Tucker.
	And, I mean, this woman is...
	This horrible woman.
	Yeah, this is the middle school teacher.
	At Berkeley.
	Yes, in the Berkeley school system, who is the founder of By Any Means Necessary, and I'm not quite sure if she has any other kind of funding or if she's just a lone wolf, but for sure she's out there promoting her concepts, and I was glad she showed up on Tucker's.
	So a fascist is someone who's organizing a mass movement that's attacking women, immigrants, black people, other...
	Yeah, she's explaining to us what a fascist is, John.
	Holy crap, she's redefined the term.
	Maybe you should give us the term so we'll be ready when we go on.
	I'll read it from Wikipedia, the definition, but it begins an intellectual movement in the colleges, I might add.
	But go on.
	Let her play.
	I'm sorry.
	No, I'd actually want to hear that.
	But okay, here we go.
	We'll listen to her definition first.
	So a fascist is someone who's organizing a mass movement that's attacking women, immigrants, black people, other minority groups in a movement of genocide.
	Just so you know, we should change the Wikipedia.
	Could someone please go in there, use this clip as a source, and change the Wikipedia entry?
	That's what a fascist is.
	That's what a fascist is.
	So it's someone who's committing violence?
	And it's someone who's committing violence and who's trying to organize other people to commit violence.
	And Milo Yiannopoulos is a fascist.
	So he's committed acts of violence against the protected groups you mentioned?
	Well, what he's doing is he's trying to be the youth face and the token that other people who are organizing violence try to hide behind.
	And so in all of his talks all over the country, what Yiannopoulos has done is whip up a whole lynch mob mentality where people who come to see him or his supporters not only agree with his views but also attack other people.
	And that was certainly true in Washington State when one of his supporters came and actually shot an anti-fascial But in Berkeley, we made sure that didn't happen because we were able to shut him down.
	Shut him down.
	We shut him down.
	Definition of fascist.
	Well, let's see.
	Fascists believe that the definition of fascist technically in the dictionary is a believer in fascism.
	But let's go with the Wikipedia.
	Fascists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete and they regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one party state, Democrats, as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties.
	Such a state is led by a strong leader such as a dictator and a martial government composed of the members of the governing fascist party to forge natural, not to forge national unity and maintain a stable and orderly society.
	Fascism rejects assertions that violence is automatically negative in nature and views political violence, war and imperialism.
	Ooh.
	Can achieve national rejuvenation.
	Fascists advocate a mixed economy with the principal goal of achieving autarky through protectionist and interventionist economic policies.
	I think her explanation is much easier.
	If you hate women and gays and black people, you're a fascist.
	Yeah, there's no mention of that in here.
	I do love our new jingle, though, that Simon Lee sent us.
	It's good.
	Alright, second piece.
	That could devolve into a whole song.
	It could.
	Now, I've noticed how Tucker Carlson does his show.
	He always has one thing that he's going to harp on, and he's just going to drill down on that.
	And he always has the kind of mouth agape, I can't believe I'm hearing this.
	I can't believe I'm hearing this, yes.
	Well, and he's on the screen the whole time, so you might as well do something.
	You can't do that.
	You can put an ISO on me.
	I'd be like ticking all over the place.
	It'd be distracting.
	Just go full screen to the guests, please.
	But so in this case, he's kind of saying two things.
	One, we have a First Amendment.
	He should be able to speak.
	And the second thing is, if you say by any means necessary, what happens if one of your kids in the classroom does this?
	Do you think, you're not answering my question, that people like Milo, who you've decided are fascists, should be allowed to speak in public?
	You said they weren't allowed to speak at Berkeley.
	He should not be allowed to speak in public to spread his racist and misogynistic and homophobic lies.
	No, he does not have the right to do that.
	I think he does, actually.
	I think he actually...
	How is he homophobic?
	He's gay!
	And he, by his own admission, only has sex with black men.
	Just makes it a little funnier.
	Lies.
	No, he does not have the right to do that.
	But still, he has the right to say whatever he wants to say.
	You can say that.
	When he's using his speech to whip up attacks on people, no, he doesn't have the right to do that.
	I haven't heard that.
	Spread lies about our humanity?
	No, he doesn't.
	Okay, so you're not allowed to say things that you think are untrue.
	Well, I mean, of course, in the case of Berkeley...
	No, that's not what I said.
	I didn't say you're not allowed to say things that are untrue.
	But if you're trying to spread racism and hostility, misogyny, rape, whip up people to lynch people, or to certainly have that mentality to...
	I think Milo wanted, you know, go lynch some black mans that are going to have sex with them.
	I think that's what he was asking for.
	Has she ever heard this guy speak?
	No, of course not.
	Of course not.
	To rape people or to lynch them?
	Absolutely not.
	And any decent human being, whether it was in a classroom or at a restaurant, if they heard someone doing that, would turn around and tell them, you need to stop talking.
	You are not welcome here.
	This is not a safe environment.
	You need to go.
	That's exactly what I'm going to do.
	Excuse me!
	Excuse me!
	You can't talk like that.
	This is a safe environment.
	You need to go.
	And, of course, I expect the person to go, okay, I'll go.
	That was so wrong.
	Okay, here's the thing about...
	She's going to get a lot of air time if she maintains this position of hers.
	Oh, yeah.
	She's just so annoying.
	You cannot be entertained by her.
	Exactly.
	It's perfect TV. And it's great for our show, of course.
	So if you're standing, I just want to know, like, the protocol for anti-fascist activists like yourself.
	You're standing on a street corner, someone starts saying something you don't like, and you think, boy, that's an act of hostility, that person's a fascist.
	No, you're misrepresenting the words that I've been saying.
	This isn't about not liking something.
	This isn't about Ben and Jerry's versus stone-cold pizza or something.
	Okay, you need to work on your cultural references, lady.
	This isn't about Ben and Jerry's versus Stone Cold Pizza.
	I thought you were going to say Stone Cold Steve Austin, but no.
	That's what I was thinking.
	I was thinking the exact same thing.
	It's probably funny.
	This isn't about Ben and Jerry's versus Stone Cold Pizza or something.
	This is about the lives of real people, immigrants who are under attack now, Muslims who are being massacred, women who are being raped.
	So you're the one trivializing this, not me.
	I'm not in any way trivializing, and I ask you a sincere question.
	To what extent would you go to stop that person from spreading genocidal propaganda?
	I would call for people to counter-protest, to stand up, and to shut down any...
	But what do you mean by shut down?
	What if I want to keep talking?
	I'm saying something that you find appalling, but you know what?
	I've got a First Amendment right.
	I'm an American.
	What would you do?
	So a bunch of people come and say, stop that.
	I say, no, I'm not going to stop that.
	I'm an American.
	What are you going to do next?
	You know, the First Amendment, you know, you want to talk about the First Amendment?
	Coretta Scott King's letter wasn't allowed to be read on the floor of the Senate last week under the Constitution in the Senate.
	That's exactly what happened.
	And yet, St.
	John, you're the one then...
	That's her example.
	Who's actually trying to defend someone like a fascist speaking and recruiting at a college campus.
	All right, Yvette, we're out of time.
	I'm proud to say that we all stood up and we shut them down.
	I don't want to bridge your speech rights.
	All right, thanks for coming on and showing us what you believe.
	Buy a tucker of beer.
	He deserves that.
	You've got to get her on more.
	She's a classic, although she's not a Hummer, which would have been better.
	She is a classic screecher.
	From the Berkeley area.
	Actually, the whole Bay area.
	San Francisco is loaded with these women, too.
	Most of them don't live in San Francisco.
	They tend to live in the East Bay because they can't afford San Francisco.
	And they don't have any way of ever finding a mate.
	And so they are by themselves.
	It's cheaper over here.
	Finding a mate.
	I was thinking about this, though.
	And I learned a term earlier this week from my buddy Gene.
	The term is LARPing.
	And I'll explain this.
	There was a video on the FaceBag, and I really dislike FaceBag for a number of reasons.
	One of them is it's not easy to get anything out of FaceBag.
	You can't just save a link.
	It's very complicated.
	Yeah, a lot of their videos are specific to FaceBag.
	It's horrible.
	But there was a video, and I think it was, it might have been in, I wonder if it's in New York or Boston, and a couple of these black block, by any means necessary protesters with the hoodies and the black mask in front of their face.
	And their arms linked, and they're not letting people go through on the sidewalk who need to go to work.
	And this one guy who was probably about 6'2", size 16 if he was announced, and he says, hey, let me through.
	And they're like, no, you're not F-Trump.
	And the guy hauls out, cold cocks this protester, which happened to be a girl, but you couldn't see that.
	And immediately they all go, oh, he hit a woman!
	Are you going to arrest him?
	He hit him, he hit him, he hit him.
	And I was so happy when I saw this.
	Like, oh, these are pussies!
	And that's when I learned the term LARPing, and that's what is going on.
	LARPing, it's in the Book of Knowledge, it kind of started with Dungeons and Dragons.
	It's role-playing.
	Oh, there you go.
	There's your source.
	It's role-playing.
	And this is what these kids are doing.
	They spend the whole weekend at the Gap and Hot Topics picking out their black hoodie and their little scarf to go in front of their face.
	And then they're all, you know, they're energized, like, yeah, we're going to go do this.
	But they're not.
	They're phonies.
	They're fake little weeny-winy pussy boys and girls.
	That makes sense.
	And the term for that is LARPers.
	So the LARPers are LARPing.
	Hmm.
	Interesting.
	Let me just see the, let me give you the definition of it.
	LARPing.
	And everything just fit.
	I was like, oh, it makes so, yeah, of course, LARP. Live action role playing.
	Duh.
	But that's where it stems from.
	And that's what these kids are doing.
	And they're all jacked up and they're not worried about any repercussions because, hey, I mean, they're on the right side, aren't they?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Totally on the right side.
	I like this.
	You're on the right side of history.
	And it's about time someone just gets a beating.
	It used to be normal.
	You're advocating violence on the No Agenda show.
	Yeah, a little bit.
	Not really violence, just, hey, just...
	Yeah, just punch these guys out.
	Yeah, it's done with.
	They're gone.
	Sock them.
	Rock them, sock them, robots, everybody.
	I actually had David Frum...
	A little bit about the black block.
	Let me see what he said here.
	I've never understood this.
	I mean, so these guys with the black masks and the crowbars show up.
	There are a lot of them.
	I have not seen crowbars, but okay.
	But there are, I mean, we're talking about a few dozen.
	There are hundreds of thousands of people at something like the event.
	Sit on them.
	Call the cops.
	Take off their masks.
	The crowbar guys are a bigger threat to the people doing the legitimate protest.
	They think they're bringing down the state.
	They're not bringing down the state.
	You can smash a lot of windows at Starbucks before you bring Lenin to power in the United States.
	A million of them.
	But they are a threat and embarrassment to the people whose march they are hijacking.
	He's kind of right there.
	Because if you don't sit on them, Let me see.
	I have another clip from him, but I wanted to play it just now.
	It's a whole different topic.
	Anything else on these protesters or any social justice warrior stuff?
	I'm looking.
	I don't see anything that I have.
	It's mostly the stuff I have.
	It's just a bunch of...
	Well, there was kind of a social justice thing.
	Nigel Farage has a radio show.
	Yes, he does.
	And he does, and this is kind of the same, you know, these LARPers are a reflection of what you have with online media and radio call and shows and all these other things where you're kind of like, you're safe.
	Very safe, just like the face bag.
	Yeah, you can say what you want, you can express yourself and you can be a complete...
	Dummy.
	Because nobody knows who you are.
	It's not like you're going to get in trouble from your boss or anything.
	Although it has happened because somebody will do something too stupid and end up in trouble at work.
	But he gets this kind of...
	Here you play Nigel's summary of hatred, which is what he has to experience now because of Brexit.
	Brexit has caused the same divisions in England that Trump has created here in the United States.
	It was a most extraordinary level of intolerance, aggression, abuse, threats.
	And that's just walking down the street, let alone the death threats and goodness knows what else that have happened online.
	And I'm not alone.
	There are Tory MPs, there are Labour MPs, and please, if you are an MP that was on the Leave side and you've seen this, then please do call in and share this.
	Actually, all these organisations who say they're about love and everything else seem to have a total hatred of those with a different opinion.
	So much so, they don't think we're even entitled to have the view.
	I mean, goodness me, they've even called us racists for daring to discuss controlling immigration.
	So...
	Yes, you racist.
	Yes, an example of that is the next clip, which is somebody who calls in.
	Sorry, here we go.
	We've given it our best shot there.
	I'm going to go to Tim in Chesterfield.
	Tim, you know, did the Leave campaign stir up hatred in people?
	Did that lead to a rise in a huge spike in hate crime immediately afterwards?
	Yes.
	Okay, go on, tell me why.
	Because you exist.
	All right.
	Well, we've really, really hit the peaks here, haven't we?
	So we'll move on to Webby in Stockport.
	Webby!
	Yeah.
	Yeah, we make it look easy.
	It's not easy, Nigel.
	It's not easy, and sometimes it's very annoying when that happens.
	I did some research.
	We were talking about the Ninth Amendment.
	There's this movement to abolish the Ninth, although it hasn't really cropped up that big yet.
	It's definitely out there.
	And we were talking about the Ninth Amendment.
	And I found on book TV a guy who actually wrote a book about him.
	And the title of the book is The Constitution Today, Akhil Reed Amar.
	Amar is fantastic.
	He takes on the Constitution that are dynamite.
	And, you know, if you want to understand the Ninth Amendment, which we were looking at on the previous show, I think this clip explains it.
	While initially opposing a Bill of Rights, some of the framers expressed concern that in enumerating rights, some would inevitably be left out.
	And thus the rights of the people would be rendered incomplete.
	Do you believe there are rights that should have been included in the Constitution but were not and even to this day have not been added?
	Well, that's where the Ninth Amendment comes in.
	It says, suppose we did leave some stuff out.
	The fact that a right isn't mentioned doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
	So, if a right isn't mentioned It isn't enumerated, but it's maybe implicit in the structure of the Constitution as a whole.
	You should protect it.
	And if it's a right that we have by custom and tradition, maybe that's a basis for judges to say this right exists because judges personally like it or don't like it.
	They're actually trying to see...
	What are the privileges and immunities of citizens?
	What do citizens understand their own rights to be as a matter of lived practice?
	How about a right, for example, to present evidence on your own behalf if you're a criminal defender?
	It doesn't say that in so many words.
	It says you have a right to confront witnesses against you and compel the production of witnesses in your favor.
	But what about a right to introduce physical evidence that shows that actually you didn't do it?
	Well, it doesn't say that, but of course that has to be a right because the whole structure of the rights that are mentioned are basically to give you a chance to show that you're innocent.
	So the Ninth Amendment is a very important reminder that not all the rights are textually specified.
	And a second, these kind of go without saying, is looking at American, evolving American traditions and customs and cultures.
	So, the Ninth Amendment protects those rights which are not explicitly mentioned.
	Right.
	He argues, this guy you're talking about, he argues that the Ninth Amendment Actually covers gun ownership.
	Interesting.
	You don't really, really need the Second Amendment.
	It's good that it's there, but the Ninth Amendment, because everyone was armed to the teeth during that era when this was written.
	It was implicitly...
	It's implicit.
	Yes, implicit.
	It's implicit to right to bear arms.
	And so this is very important, this Ninth Amendment.
	I also learned from him, the order of the amendments is not necessarily an order of importance, it turns out.
	You could put the Ninth Amendment first, he said.
	Yeah, he's a good guy to read.
	He's the one who wrote everything you know about the Constitution is Wrong, which is brought by one of our producers, H. Greeley, who also discussed the Ninth Amendment in an email, but this little clip is probably easier to deal with.
	So, the abolishment of the Ninth would, in effect, remove all rights not implicitly stated.
	Yeah, you'd have no rights.
	Yeah.
	Zero.
	So this is not a good idea, people.
	How else are you going to get your Obama phone?
	There was anybody seriously going after the Ninth Amendment.
	That's not going to happen anyway.
	Even the congressmen aren't that dumb.
	Oh, really?
	How about the one who calls, who says that Putin's in Korea?
	I mean, there's some pretty dumb people up on the hill there, John.
	Pretty dumb people.
	Pelosi, who still thinks George W. Bush is president?
	Come on, there's some pretty dumb people up there, John.
	Well, you might as well go to my clips then.
	All right.
	Does it include dumb people?
	Yes, Amy Klobuchar.
	I have Amy Goodman.
	I don't see Klobuchar.
	Yeah, it's under Flynn.
	Oh, well, that makes nothing but sense.
	So this is Flynn, Klobuchar, Russia.
	This is her talking about Michael Flynn.
	Of course, we haven't discussed yet, but he got kicked off of the Trump team.
	Yeah, we'll go into it now.
	He was hounded to death.
	But here's Klobuchar.
	And you've got to remember, Klobuchar is like an ally of With the gruesome twosome of the Republican Party, John McCain and Lindsey Graham, and she's like one of the co-dummies, and she's a useful idiot.
	Now, is she a senator or a representative?
	She's a senator.
	Believe me or not, she's a senator from Minnesota, along with our buddy...
	Franken.
	Franken.
	The swirl of questions surrounding General Flynn's resignation as National Security Advisor and the new reports of regular contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian officials has Democrats on Capitol Hill, as we heard, calling for an independent investigation.
	One of them is Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota.
	I spoke to her a short time ago and started by asking what questions she has.
	Well, I believe this is much more than the resignation of one national security adviser.
	You already had the Trump campaign chairman step aside because of contacts with Russia, and now this new report that there were multiple contacts between people in the campaign and Russian intelligence people.
	So that's why I think we have to get to the bottom of it.
	This is about a fundamental And that is a free democracy that should be free from foreign influences.
	And we already have had our 17 intelligence agencies tell us that there's been an attempt to influence our election.
	And now we're finding out that these contacts were ongoing.
	So we need to know who did Flynn work with?
	Who did he talk to?
	What did he talk about to the Russian ambassador?
	And also, why was this happening?
	I think that's the biggest overriding question for our national security.
	Why was the Trump administration so eager to placate the Russians and make friends with them when they have done so many horrific things, including invading countries that are our allies?
	What allies did they invade?
	She said this.
	She said that Russia's invaded our allies.
	Name an ally.
	I think she's referring to Ukraine.
	I don't know what else she could be talking about.
	I'm sure she's talking about how the Russians invaded Crimea.
	Yeah.
	Even though that was a voting thing, even though it could have been...
	Before we go on, before the news breaks, I'll just tell you what's going on.
	First of all, Flynn resigned from his National Security Council post, but he's not gone.
	He's staying on.
	He's going to be working as an advisor.
	No one's talking about this.
	Two, his replacement has already been asked.
	P4 is to be his replacement.
	What?
	P4? Oh, I'm sorry.
	Military speak, John.
	P4 is Petraeus four-star general.
	So Petraeus has been asked.
	That's not my understanding.
	This came in this morning.
	Well, I mean, yeah, you have newer news, but I'm just saying this other guy supposedly said yes, according to Garrett on CBS. I don't know if Petraeus has said yes or...
	Well, let's...
	Whoa, whoa, whoa.
	Back up one second.
	Anything CBS says is going to be CIA messaging, John.
	Yeah, duh!
	The CIA broadcasting system, I know that.
	Why are you pointing it out?
	Because they don't want Petraeus to take it.
	So they would be pushing it.
	That's okay, we'll find out.
	Well, I want to play the other clip.
	I want to jump from Klobuchar, who just continues on with the idiocies, by the way.
	It's very entertaining, I thought.
	Let's see.
	We got Conway CBS, which, you know, she's done.
	Yeah, I have...
	You know what?
	Let's play the Conway CBS, and then I want to play the...
	Oh, here it is.
	Here, wait.
	No, let's start with this one.
	The Conway one is a different topic, really.
	Vague CBS. This is with Major Garrett.
	So my question to my Republican colleagues is, if you're not willing to take the first step to look into this, what are you afraid of?
	Some Republicans, like Tennessee's Bob Corker in South Carolina...
	Hey, stop, stop, stop.
	Hey, Adam, can you come over for dinner tonight?
	Sure.
	You have to be here at 6.
	Okay.
	Can you make it?
	Yeah.
	Really?
	No.
	Oh, well, what are you afraid of?
	I'm afraid of not making it because of the airline schedule.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Can't you just release a plane?
	What are you afraid of?
	Your point is well made, sir.
	What are you afraid of?
	Some Republicans, like Tennessee's Bob Corker and South Carolina's Lindsey Graham, are calling for thorough inquiries.
	But Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky wants to defer to the Justice Department.
	If law enforcement thinks there needs to be an investigation based on law enforcement type of facts, they make that decision.
	But we don't need more political investigation up here.
	The president has been at odds with the intelligence community since he'd said the Russian government interfered in the 2016 election.
	Scott, Mr.
	Trump eventually accepted that conclusion but has accused U.S. intelligence agencies first of Nazi and now Russian tactics.
	One other point, Scott.
	Vice Admiral Robert Harward has been offered the job of National Security Advisor to replace General Flynn.
	He is negotiating with the White House but is expected to accept that offer.
	Now, before we go any further...
	And before you go any further, I want to discuss the grammar he used.
	And CBS does this all the time, and it's always bothersome to me, and I point it out on the show a lot, using the word but when and is the right word.
	Because if you have a line of thought that is going in one direction and you make your conclusion...
	It's different than through the line of thought that's going in the exact same direction, but you make your conclusion.
	It's the opposite direction.
	It makes it sound sketchy.
	It puts a weird thing in your brain that's bothersome.
	Garrett does this constantly.
	So the guy has been discussing taking over, but he looks like he's going to accept.
	It's not what the word is.
	It's and.
	It looks like he's going to accept.
	But this is just a little side note, the way they do business there.
	So what we're going to get into is what actually happened, and as far as I can tell, what has actually happened is nothing other than there was spying a deep state operation, which we've been talking about for years here.
	Literally?
	Yes, that the agencies are at war with each other, there's camps, there's divisions, and clearly the CIA ran their own candidate, if you remember.
	Remember that guy from Utah?
	He's the Utah guy.
	They ran their own candidate.
	That's how desperate they are to keep in charge of things.
	And so they are hell-bent, the deep state, which not just as CIA, they want him out, and by any means necessary, you might almost say.
	And the mainstream media, who based this on no evidence, no transcripts, although came in this morning.
	Let me see.
	I got here.
	From NPR, intelligence official.
	Again, I'll...
	All these sources are unnamed.
	Transcripts of Flynn's calls do not show criminal wrongdoing.
	So there was no criminal wrongdoing, at least according to sources, the same sources, I guess.
	But it was a total, you have to almost think, coordinated attack To bring this guy down.
	And if you listen to some of the heads in the mainstream media, they were just losing their crap.
	They love it so much.
	Here's Chip Tuck.
	Chuck Todd.
	Good evening.
	I'm Chuck Todd here in Washington.
	Welcome to MTP Daily and welcome to day one of what is arguably the biggest presidential scandal involving a foreign government since Iran-Contra.
	Take a breath.
	Hyperbole aside, folks, hunker down, because this is a Class 5 political hurricane.
	Oh, please.
	Oh, man.
	Oh, my God.
	That's what they wanted to be.
	That's what he said?
	Yes.
	Here's a- Oh, you get a borderline for that.
	I had no idea that- Oh, it's just crazy.
	Borderline!
	Thank you.
	Now we go to Jeannie Most, who does most of the entertainment fun stuff on CNN. General Michael Flynn went from being sworn in to being forced out so fast after less than a month in office.
	This is the shortest tenure of any national security adviser in modern history.
	So naturally the internet decided to document things that last longer than Flynn.
	For instance, I have food in my fridge that lasted longer than Michael Flynn.
	Someone else said my diet lasted longer.
	So does Amazon's return policy, which happens to be 30 days.
	Flynn lasted only 23.
	Even dragonflies, with a lifespan of a mere four months, outlast the general.
	The roll of paper towels in my kitchen lasted longer than Mike Flynn.
	Sure, everyone is making the same joke.
	Hold on a second.
	We've documented this woman before.
	Is this supposed to be funny?
	Yeah.
	It's stupid!
	This is what they do on CNN. This is what you, you know, sanctimoniously smug, I think is the term.
	A bowl of paper towels in my kitchen lasted longer than Mike Flynn.
	Sure, everyone is making the same joke, but it does put things in perspective.
	This lasted longer than Michael Flynn's tenure.
	Kim Kardashian's marriage to Chris Humphrey survived 72 days.
	Ah, luckily we got Kardashians in there.
	Three times as long as the general did.
	Tweeted someone, I once had a fungal infection that lasted longer than Flynn.
	Oh, alright.
	Now, not everybody was just making fun and games.
	The deep state at work, a lot of people figured this out quickly.
	Senator Johnson is very angry.
	Who has access to this information?
	In terms of exactly what happened...
	The conversation that was conducted, who has access to that, Senator?
	That would be somebody in the nebulous intelligence community.
	I think those are the questions that have to be asked.
	Who tapped the phones?
	Who is listening to it?
	Who leaked it?
	I think those are legitimate questions to ask, but better asked in a classified setting to really get to the facts.
	Okay, so were laws broken then?
	Again, I'm not a lawyer.
	I really do not know, but let's face it, leaks of this nature are incredibly damaging to America, to our national security, and we need to look into it.
	Yes, and I have been looking into it.
	And if you want to know anything about the legal status of what's going on, we usually turn to the judge who we like so much, Napolitano, who has quite a lot to say about this.
	That looks to me, notwithstanding the denial, that looks to me like sabotage from within.
	It's a very fair assessment, and there is no director of national intelligence because he hasn't been confirmed yet.
	Ah.
	And the prior director of National Intelligence, General Clapper, the one that lied under oath, he's in retirement.
	So the DNI is being run by whoever is the senior-most person there, sort of like the Justice Department was before Jeff Sessions was there.
	But this is a really, really serious problem.
	And it comes from something that I've been complaining about for years, which is spying on everybody all the time.
	Because the spies now who spy on generals in the Pentagon and justices in the Supreme Court and the president in the White House have the ability, with legal immunity, because they know how to do this without getting caught, to leak what they have in order to embarrass who they want to embarrass.
	Whether it's President Donald Trump, because they say they don't trust him, or whether it's General Flynn, because he's an ex-spy who knows too much about them.
	Judge, this is outrageous.
	It is.
	And I can tell you from sources with whom I've spoken that Wall Street Journal headline is absolutely true.
	There are people in the intelligence community who will withhold information from the President of the United States of America in order to influence his exercise of judgment.
	It absolutely is illegal.
	They work for him.
	He is their boss.
	If they don't like him or they don't trust him, they should quit and go public and let the American public decide.
	How is it possible that the intelligence agencies know how to do this legally?
	Because they're clearly eavesdropping on We're good to go.
	Authorizing the NSA to share its raw data with all 16 intelligence agencies for the first time in American history.
	So we don't know who the leaker was.
	Prior to that extraordinary executive order, which President Trump can undo this morning with a stroke of a pen, we would have known who the leaker was.
	See, the NSA does the spying for everybody else, because it has access to everybody's computer chip.
	I'm holding up my iPhone.
	Used to distribute the raw data for foreigners to CIA and to their own 60,000 domestic spy agents for domestic.
	Now, after that order, they can share with FBI, with defense intelligence, and the other 16 publicly known spying agencies.
	We have created a surveillance state in which the spies know so much about us they can regulate our behavior, including the most powerful man on the planet, the President of the United States.
	Uh-oh.
	That's a good one.
	Well, you know what we say.
	Ah!
	Thanks, Obama.
	Well, play this clip then, which is the leaks overview, because there's a couple pieces of information here I didn't really know about, and the mainstream media is definitely not playing it up.
	Among government officials, it's commonly understood that loose lips sink ships.
	But apparently this hasn't stopped certain anonymous figures within the Trump administration from handing non-public information over to the press.
	After the resignation of National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, following anonymous tips about Flynn's phone call to the Russian ambassador, Trump spoke up on Twitter.
	The real story here is why there are so many illegal leaks coming out of Washington.
	Will these leaks be happening as I deal on North Korea, etc.?
	There is certainly room for concern.
	The leaks to date include transcripts of President Trump's conversations with world leaders.
	The press is certainly eager to eat up whatever the leakers offer them, and even almost treat them as heroes of a spy film.
	So that's your bugged White House, John.
	They have access to everything.
	They don't need to bug it.
	Everything's all tapped into the NSA. Yeah, it's beautiful.
	Washington DC newspaper The Hill has referred to the people behind all of this not as leakers or even whistleblowers, but rather as shadow warriors.
	White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer says the administration intends to investigate exactly who is blabbing inside information.
	of a lot of protocols and laws.
	Not everyone working in the executive branch is completely new, and Trump suspects that the unnamed sources may be holdovers from the last administration.
	President Trump is lashing out over leaked transcripts of his calls with Mexico's president and also Australia's prime minister.
	The president blaming, quote, "Obama people" for giving those transcripts to the media.
	There's a vested interest by the press and by others to see Trump fail or at least stumble.
	I think it really is about crippling him when he has to go to the American people and ask them for things that will be hard to do in order to right the foreign policy of this nation.
	And they want to steal his ability to do that in the future, but with certain actions now.
	In the context of an already contentious relationship with many mainstream media outlets, the flow of non-public, less-than-beneficial information from within the closed halls of the Trump White House has got the administration rather fired up.
	They are anxious to get to the bottom of it.
	Now, what I found interesting in that clip was that they apparently have leaked transcripts of the entire conversation between Trump and the Australian guy and Trump and the Mexican guy.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, but first of all, they cannot really show that because that would be breaking the law.
	These are unnamed sources, and it turns out that it really may not be true at all, the things that they say are in the transcript.
	But you see the mainstream media just diving onto this, pile jumping.
	They're loving it, and I'm so disappointed.
	One of our guys, Tim Weiner, he wrote Legacy of Ashes, which was the CIA book.
	Great book.
	And then, if you recall, John, he wrote the book about FBI, and it sucked.
	It was horrible, which led me to believe that he's all in.
	CIA is, you know, they've co-opted him.
	And, of course, CIA is mainly behind this deep state, you know, coup or whatever they're trying to do.
	I was going to say they co-opted him because the way it would work, it seems to me, as a writer like that, Is that he had to get all the permissions and he had to get everything from us.
	He had to get pre-approval and say, okay, we're going to do this.
	We're going to let you write this huge book that nobody's going to read.
	Of course, they didn't say that part.
	But you're going to write this huge book about us.
	We're going to give you all the stuff you need.
	We'll clean it up as we can.
	But you've got to do something for us.
	Well, he's out there doing it.
	He's out promoting a new book called Empire, I believe.
	Here he is on the...
	Sorry, with Rachel...
	We are now three and a half weeks into this administration.
	Under Nixon.
	And I remember this.
	I lived through this.
	It took them three and a half years to break into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at Watergate.
	We are three and a half weeks into this administration.
	The Russians broke into the DNC for them!
	That's done!
	Okay?
	Mike Flynn has fallen farther faster than any powerful official in any government In the 20th century in America.
	Oh, really?
	We are watching in real time, very quickly, a powerful counterintelligence investigation run by the FBI with the assistance of the CIA and the NSA that is targeting the top of this government.
	And I'm reminded when I was talking to Uncle Don about Flynn, and he hates him.
	I want nothing to do with Flynn, was kind of his word.
	So there's something about Flynn and CIA that we're not privy to.
	I'm sure it has something to do during his years with the DIA, where they finally had to get him out of there.
	Yes, and here is Tim Weiner with more.
	The American people are...
	Sorry?
	I was going to say, before you go to the next clip, I think it was interesting that he put the FBI with Comey...
	Whose name has not come up at all.
	If you haven't noticed, I have.
	Yeah.
	At the top as a lead on this, this is kind of the thing you do when you're like behind the scenes really doing all the work and you put somebody else in front of you.
	You go do it.
	We're behind you.
	Yeah.
	Very suspect.
	Well, it's clear.
	Again, interagency rift.
	We've been tracking this literally for years.
	The American people are getting a look in real time at the most politically charged counterintelligence investigation since the Soviets stole the secret of the atomic bomb in the end of World War II. So, Klaus Fuchs involved here, that kind of thing, right?
	I didn't understand this reference.
	I wanted to bring it up.
	Klaus Fuchs?
	Who was Klaus Fuchs?
	Oh, man, Klaus Fuchs.
	I should know.
	Well, there's only one thing to do.
	I heard that and went, John will know.
	No, I mean, I should know, but I don't know.
	It does ring a bell.
	Some reference, some old Cold War reference.
	F-U-C-H-S, I'm sure.
	Klaus Fuchs.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	He was the guy who stole the nuclear secrets for the A-bomb?
	No, I don't think so.
	Klaus Fuchs.
	A German theoretical physicist and atomic spy who in 1950 was convicted of supplying information from the American, British, and Canadian Manhattan Project to the Soviet Union.
	Okay, he was a spy.
	His colleagues at the Atomic Weapons Laboratory, he was one of the guys working at Los Alamos.
	Atomic bomb in the end of World War II. So, Klaus Fuchs involved here, that kind of thing, right?
	Yeah, that was a case that took almost 10 years from beginning to end.
	This is moving a lot faster because technology has improved in terms of intelligence gathering.
	We're in a case now, you were harking back to Watergate, Chris.
	This is a case where it's the crime.
	No, I'm harking back to the Venona decryptions.
	I'm going back to Venona.
	I'm going back to the way we got all the communication between Moscow and America during and before the Second World War.
	That kind of stuff.
	So it's like that.
	It's just like that.
	In fact, that's what Tom Friedman thinks as well.
	I don't care what he told Pence.
	We only care what he told Pence because Pence went out and basically misled the public on Face the Nation.
	Going on Face the Nation is where you mislead the public.
	The whole show is meant to mislead the public.
	The issue is what did he tell Trump?
	Did he and Trump actually cook up this whole thing?
	After the Russians did not respond harshly to the eviction of their spies and diplomats, Trump actually tweeted out some positive encouragement of this.
	Did the two of them We can cook this up all along.
	And it gets Joe to two other issues.
	The first is, we have never taken seriously from the very beginning, Russia hacked our election.
	That was a 9-11 scale event.
	They attacked the core of our very democracy.
	That was a Pearl Harbor scale event.
	I don't think so.
	You have to remember, Friedman is, for all practical purposes, he might as well work out of Langley.
	So this is what they're going for.
	A 9-11 scale event.
	They're crazy.
	It's like these guys would back it off a little bit, tone it down and not sound like a maniac.
	Swinging for the fences is exactly right.
	Now, luckily, on the other side, from a Democrat, we get not just a big pushback.
	We get, and I have four clips, the first one's a little long, intro, minute and a half.
	Forklips from a guy who is coming to defense of what is happening, who recognizes the deep state shadow government.
	What is our term for it, John?
	The shadow state?
	Is that what we call it?
	I don't like shadow state.
	I don't like it either.
	Deep state?
	I like deep state.
	Deep state's kind of a cool term.
	It's all representative of the New World Order the way I see it.
	It's representative of the no borders, no nations.
	Let's just let the whole place no borders, no nations is what it really represents.
	That's what they're pushing for.
	Or then again, we could be misinterpreting the whole thing and the idea is just to rebelize the world and then hell with it.
	I think our...
	Throughout the years, we've said, look, people really in charge are not the ones you see in the White House, not the ones you see on TV. I mean, who's really in charge of killing people with drones?
	It's CIA. Yeah, the president has to sign off on it, but CIA runs it.
	Who's running all the ops, all the black ops everywhere?
	A lot of it is CIA. Who comes to tell us this?
	Who should avoid small aviation hot tubs, canoes on rivers in D.C.? And what else do you need to avoid?
	Just don't have any firearms.
	Dennis Kucinich.
	Kucinich is showing up again, who has always been the enemy of the deep state.
	Yeah.
	In his own way, but he's more of a leftist.
	He's a Democrat.
	He's a Democrat.
	Yeah, he's a Democrat, but he's more than a Democrat.
	He's a very progressive Democrat who's been eschewed by the party.
	Well, he is pissed.
	In fact, let me stop.
	I should mention this.
	Why isn't Dennis Kucinich seen from him anymore?
	The Democrats themselves could not put up with his...
	His complaining about the deep state all along, and they gerrymandered him out of a job.
	Great, isn't it?
	They specifically created a district that he had to run in that he couldn't win.
	I don't understand why they didn't just kill him like they do with everybody else.
	They really did some work.
	Like, you'll never speak again.
	Here he is.
	Well, General Flynn has admitted misleading the vice president, but I think we have to look at this a little bit deeper.
	A phone call from the incoming director of national security was intercepted and the contents given to the media and you have to and so obviously shared by intelligence officials.
	Now what's at the core of this is an effort by some in the intelligence community to upend any positive relationship between the US and Russia And I tell you, there's a marching band and chowder society out there.
	There's gold in their heels.
	There are people trying to separate the U.S. and Russia so that this military-industrial intel access can...
	What is it?
	Military-industrial-industrial-intel-access.
	Axis.
	Nice.
	Axis.
	But the American people have to know that there's a game going on inside the intelligence community where there are those who want to separate the U.S. from Russia in a way that would reignite the Cold War.
	That's what's at the bottom of all this.
	It's like, it's early in the morning, it's Valentine's Day, but wake up America.
	What's going on in the intelligence community with this new president is unprecedented.
	They're making every effort to upend him.
	Who knows what the truth is anymore?
	This is like the electronic version of Mad Magazine, Spy vs.
	Spy.
	And so the bottom line is, we should not start a Cold War again with Russia.
	The American people forked over billions of dollars for the last one and changed the quality of life in this country.
	There's something wrong going on here in the intelligence community.
	I love the spy versus spy reference.
	That's pretty funny.
	I use that all the time.
	Well, there you go.
	I think he nailed it.
	Oh, he's not done.
	He's not done.
	Here is some advice.
	Here's what Trump should do.
	What should Donald Trump do then?
	Well, first of all, he has to get a hold of his own intelligence apparatus.
	You know, this isn't a joke.
	This is a serious matter.
	If he doesn't get control of where the information's coming from, he'll never know the truth.
	The American people won't know the truth.
	And we could be set at war with almost any country.
	Be very careful is my warning this morning.
	Yeah.
	He really understands what's going on.
	And...
	He's warning everybody.
	And here is some backup about what I said regarding CIA being the people who have a lot of power.
	It's not just this administration.
	I want to remind the viewers and all those who are on the panel that in the closing months of the Obama administration, they put together a deal with Russia to create peace in Syria.
	A few days later, a military strike in Syria killed 100 Syrian soldiers, and that ended the agreement.
	What happened is, inside the intelligence and the Pentagon, there was a deliberate effort to sabotage an agreement the White House made.
	This is like Deep State.
	This is like some kind of a spy novel.
	But it's real, and the American people have to understand a game is being played with the security of our country.
	I love him.
	He's so right.
	He's nailing it.
	He's totally nailing it.
	Totally.
	He's gonna wrap it up here.
	This isn't about whether you're for or against Donald Trump.
	Right.
	Hello?
	Hello.
	This is about whether or not the American people are bystanders in a power play inside the intelligence community, the outcome of which could determine our relationships with Russia and whether or not billions of dollars are going to be spent in a new Cold War.
	Yeah, exactly.
	You know what?
	I give him two months before he's on the Alex Jones show.
	He's got to be on Infowars.
	Wake up, people!
	Astounding.
	Astounding.
	Absolutely astounding.
	And I like that he's doing that.
	Not that he'll get any real airtime.
	I don't even know where I picked that up.
	No, he's not going to get any...
	No, no, no.
	They have to have the same old, same old douchebags on these shows to shake their fist at Trump.
	Well, interestingly, and then I want to go to our B block, I caught...
	Someone sent me a link.
	Anita Dunn.
	She's the former communications manager for the Obama administration.
	And, you know, so this was kind of inside baseball.
	On NPR. I don't know if this was a podcast or if it was an actual show.
	Inside Baseball about how it works.
	And what I've always said is, you know, Obama was so good.
	You could never catch the guy saying anything wrong.
	Everything was corroborated.
	It made sense.
	All the pieces fit together.
	He said something three years ago.
	He, you know, reiterates that later.
	And it's all the same.
	It was very...
	The whole system was good at it.
	Now, it was crippling for a number of reasons.
	And, of course, we now have a president who doesn't follow that protocol.
	This is obviously going to be somewhat of a challenge.
	But in explaining why this is a challenge, he explains a lot about how news works.
	The rollout of the immigration executive order, which I have to say, David, I just don't agree with, is...
	It was a textbook example of what happens to new administrations.
	They didn't do their homework on Capitol Hill to prepare their people there first.
	They didn't have a chorus of validators ready to go out in public to explain what it was.
	And most importantly, they didn't appear to have their own internal act together so that they were contradicting themselves.
	It's all part of what is usually a shakedown at the beginning of an administration.
	This one was extreme.
	So you say validators.
	I mean, I'm thinking about whenever we see a new White House policy come, you might see op-eds in newspapers and magazines.
	Is that all stuff that's coordinated?
	Yes, it is totally coordinated.
	And you want to do that because you want to show people that your policies have support.
	You want to have experts in their fields out there supporting the policies.
	You want to have people out there to help explain exactly what those policies are.
	So you want to have a chorus of voices out there beyond just the White House itself.
	You also want to have your supporters on Capitol Hill fully briefed and ready to explain both to their constituents and also to the broader public why they support it and, again, what the policies are.
	When something works for you in the campaign, it's really hard to say, well, it doesn't work for me any longer.
	But it presents a unique challenge for his communication staff because it is communication that doesn't go through any of the White House filters that in the past have been applied to whatever the president was going to say.
	So people could make sure what the president was going to say was factually accurate.
	They could make sure that it was consistent with the policies and from a White House communications perspective that it was consistent with what the White House was actually trying to communicate that day.
	So it's a matter of coordination, making sure that the tweets are actually coordinating with the message.
	That is a big challenge.
	That's true, but this is a president who got elected by doing it his way, and clearly right now he's going to keep doing that, David.
	I really like the validators.
	Validators is what they call them.
	This is all the shills you see on television.
	They're validators.
	Well, let me explain how that works in the high-tech realm.
	And then bring in Amy Goodman, if you don't mind.
	I mean, not Amy Goodman, Kellyanne Conway.
	In the world of public relations, and people should know this, even though half the people that discuss this don't know how it works, but the idea is, if you're rolling out a new product, everything has to be, a lot of ducks in a row, Apple is really good at this, one of the things you'd send to the journalist would be a packet, a press release package, for you to put your story together, you'd get it in advance of the rollout, and it would be embargoed until that day.
	In the packet would be a list of people that you could contact, Don't have the quotes that you needed to make the story complete.
	In other words, you have somebody that said something to say about the product.
	Usually always positive, and even the negative quote would be kind of positive.
	In some way.
	You couldn't really get it.
	The whole thing was orchestrated so the product would come across as some great new thing.
	And that would be like whatever it was, a new Apple laptop.
	And the thing that always cracked me up is the people that were brief before the media were the analysts.
	Right.
	And so you'd find these analysts, the guys who stock analysts or the guys who just do market research and all that.
	And they'd be sold.
	They're the ones that would be sold on the products.
	And the ones who responded positively would be the people on the list that you'd contact.
	So it creates like a perfect storm of positive publicity.
	And that's the way most products are rolled out in the United States.
	And it's a very high level situation.
	It's a very high level how it's done.
	And it's very, the way I see it, it's onerous because you're not thinking for yourself if you're the writer.
	But it's the fastest and easiest way to get the job done.
	So you're just getting helped all along.
	Anyway.
	So one of these validators is Kellyanne Conway.
	What is this clip?
	This is a clip that piggybacks on what I said in the newsletter and what I've been saying on Twitter is that she's a target.
	She's one of the next targets to be ousted by the deep state because they don't like her.
	Because for one thing, she's used as a smokescreen.
	She comes out and yaks, yaks, yaks.
	She chews up a lot of time.
	She doesn't really help anybody in the media at all.
	She just is great at spinning everything.
	And they're sick of her.
	And they're bitching and moaning and complaining.
	And here's a good example of that.
	Conway, counselor to the president, should be investigated, according to the Independent Office of Government Ethics.
	In a notice to the White House yesterday, the office said that Conway, pitching Ivanka Trump's clothing line during an interview, left, quote, strong reason to believe disciplinary action is warranted.
	Ooh!
	Conway has proven to be a fearless fabulist.
	Yesterday, she said the national security advisor had the full confidence of the president hours before he was fired.
	She created the bogus Bowling Green massacre and coined the phrase, alternative facts.
	That would be bogative.
	Um...
	Mika Brzezinski, daughter of New World Order Architect, and Chuck Scarborough had a very different take on this.
	Scarborough, of course, deconstructs a little bit about what's going on, and Mika is just emotional.
	At times in recent days, Kellyanne Conway has struggled to be on the same page, to say the least, as the rest of the staff in the White House.
	So, Rick, Joe was just saying that she books herself on these shows.
	We know for a fact she tries to book herself on this show.
	It's fantastic.
	I didn't know this.
	She tries to book herself.
	Hey, I'm available.
	Can I come by?
	Is it okay?
	Can I be on now?
	You think that's true?
	Well, you can do that.
	I think that's what she does.
	And I think she does it because the way this White House is run, they don't have anybody going out to talk to anybody except her and Miller, the other guy.
	Yeah, Stephen Miller.
	Stephen Miller is mean-spirited.
	He's very kind of funny.
	He looks like an evil scientist.
	They want to get rid of him, too, because he...
	And they're doing all kinds of character assassination stuff in the background on him.
	Yeah.
	So they're going to do character assassination, because it's the only way they can get rid of these two.
	And you just slam them and slam them and slam them until they can't take it anymore.
	Well, let's continue with Mika, and then Joe will explain what he knows about Kellyanne Conway and her involvement in the entire administration.
	She tries to book herself on this show.
	I won't do it, because I don't believe in fake news or information that is not true.
	Every time I've ever seen her on television, something's askew, off, or incorrect.
	Well, you know, it's actually the same thing I've heard since Donald Trump was elected by his top aides and, again, confirmed it last night.
	She's out of the loop.
	She's in none of the key meetings.
	She goes out and books herself often.
	And, you know, I said this morning, I saw some of the headlines yesterday and felt badly because the language I used was so harsh.
	And I'm going to take it back.
	About her, quote, lying.
	I think, Rick Tyler, it is equally as bad that a spokesperson in the White House actually goes out and makes things up.
	She doesn't know.
	She doesn't have the information.
	She's not in any of the key meetings.
	She's not briefed.
	And so she'll go out like she did yesterday.
	She'll...
	Hear me say something about her, as apparently this is what I heard from inside the White House, and then she'll immediately start calling, and she'll call people that go on TV and defend herself.
	And so then she goes on the Today Show, gives misinformation, as she does on all of these shows.
	And again, I don't even think she's...
	Saying something that she knows to be untrue.
	She's just saying things just to get in front of the TV set and prove her relevance.
	She's not credible anymore.
	Because behind the scenes, she's not in these meetings.
	And any reporter can ask anybody in that White House and they will say the same thing.
	She's not in the meeting.
	So, Rick, the question is, why does the president allow her to keep going out and spreading false information?
	I will say, Kellyanne Conway does not need to text our show.
	At least as long as I'm on it, because it's not happening here.
	It's not happening here.
	Okay.
	That's pretty emotional.
	It is brutal.
	I think Mika feels screwed somehow.
	I'm not quite sure, but it sounds like she feels screwed by Kellyanne.
	I don't know what's going on with her.
	Something very weird there.
	I don't know.
	The Kellyanne Conway thing is going to probably boil over and end within the next.
	I would give us maybe five or six more shows before she's done.
	I don't even know if we can give her that.
	And she's looking pretty harsh.
	Well, that's another point I was making.
	She's looking pretty tired.
	Well, I'm wondering about some of these shots.
	They're lit in such a way.
	And I think they're shopped.
	And in the next newsletter, I'm going to take some regular photos of her.
	And I'm going to shop them a little bit.
	And it's not going to take much.
	It doesn't take much with Photoshop controls now to make anyone look like crap.
	And those are the only shots that they're using.
	And you can find bad lighting situations.
	You shoot those pictures.
	You shoot a lot of them.
	And those are the ones that go to Getty and those are the ones that get distributed.
	And that's what we're seeing mostly now is pictures of her that makes her look like an old woman.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's not very flattering.
	This is being done on purpose.
	This is part of the scheme to get rid of her.
	They're just, they can't take it anymore.
	And I don't think it's got anything to do with the intelligence community or the deep state or anything.
	This is the media that just can't take it anymore.
	Also, she was one of them.
	And she defected, and now they have to get rid of her.
	She was one of them.
	She was never really one of them.
	She was always a pundit.
	She was not one of them, unless you can show me differently.
	I never knew that she was one of them.
	No, they considered her to be one of them.
	Certainly on CNN. Oh, one of our own.
	She was working for CNN for a while, if that's what they mean.
	Yeah.
	She doesn't come from the journalistic side of the world.
	No.
	Like anyone else on CNN does.
	Please.
	Well, there you go.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C, where the C stands for, Central Intelligence Broadcast Network, Dvorak.
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning to all boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, all the dames and knights.
	Yes.
	Out there.
	In the morning to everybody in the chatroom, noagendastream.com.
	Thanks for being there.
	Thanks for helping us out, as usual.
	It's very important.
	As producers, that's what you do.
	Also, thank you to Nick the Rack and...
	Rack?
	Nick the Rack.
	Nick the Rack with his big boobs.
	Nick the Rat, who brought us the artwork for episode 903, Eat Lipstick.
	And, uh...
	I think you and I like this more than it came across.
	The way we saw it is the typical bathroom symbols, and we've got a woman, red with a skirt, standing on top of the man.
	He's flat on his back, or his face, you can't even tell.
	I showed this to Tina, and she's like, but this is the war on men.
	She didn't see it that way.
	Well, some people did, and some people didn't.
	I don't know what she was thinking.
	Well, that's how good art works.
	Yeah, that was a good piece.
	And noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can upload your art.
	We appreciate all the work our artists do, of course, and that's why we give you credit on every single show, and we give our executive producer credits and associate executive producer credits to the people who came in at those levels today to support the program.
	John?
	Yeah, a lot of people.
	We've got two people.
	And neither one of them really executive producers, so we bump up the lowest one, which is $250 from Sir William Bowman, now in Cornville, Arizona.
	And he sent a long note in, which you might as well read in its entirety.
	And you have to take your pen out, because he's going to be upgraded to Baron.
	Okie dokie.
	Now is the time for me, William Bowman, pronounced Bachman, Uh-huh.
	Uh-huh.
	On episode 902, your excellent analysis of why many of these politicians want Syrian immigration so badly led me to make a higher contribution than usual, which is 250.
	In these puzzling times, such analysis is necessary to understand what is really going on behind the fake news, the hype, and the outright lies we endure from the media.
	Mm-hmm.
	As for my new realm, I chose the Verde Valley of Arizona, where I now live.
	Being a refugee from Jerry Brown's Democratic People's Republic, I suffered the effects of leftist ideological politics in a one-party state, California.
	Oh, it's a Baron of Verde Valley?
	I come to it.
	Well, I'm just writing it down.
	Yes, Baron, actually Baron Bill of the Verde Valley.
	That's what it's going to be.
	Darren Bill.
	Of the Verde Valley, got it.
	Of the Verde Valley.
	Yeah, got it, got it, got it.
	Okay.
	Back to California complaining.
	Lack of freedom, ridiculous taxes, inability to conceal carry, PC crap everywhere you turn, and a lack of native English speakers, that's for sure, led to conclude five years ago I had to get out.
	Took me a couple of years to make a clean break, but I did leave without any regrets since I gained my freedom.
	Other friends who are still suffering under the Brown regime are making noises about leaving too.
	I moved from a town, Dvorak cannot pronounce, Port Huenemy.
	Whatever, I think.
	Yeah.
	It's something nominated.
	It's a Muppet.
	It's a name from the Harry Potter.
	Like that girl.
	Her name is me.
	Whatever her name is.
	To one, he should be able to pronounce Cornville.
	Cornville.
	I considered Texas, but I couldn't hack the humidity.
	Plus, I knew people in Arizona.
	I had no one in Central Texas.
	As for my title, I would like to be called Baron Bill of the Verde Valley.
	In my new capacity, I'm looking forward to serving Sir David Foley, our beloved Grand Duke.
	Yes, he's ready for it.
	One last thing, my birthday is March 6th, so there's another note.
	He should send that in.
	Yeah, send another note.
	Send it in.
	He'll be 66.
	Please put me down for a birthday shout-out.
	My call sign is K6DWP. Yeah, 73s, kilo 5, alpha, Charlie, Charlie.
	No request for Junior.
	Thanks to both of you again for an excellently done job.
	He's got some requests.
	Yeah, I was waiting for him.
	LGY, Lil Goyer, Clippity Clop, and give everyone a big de-douching on me.
	De-douching first.
	You've been de-douched.
	Okay, he wants a Clippity Clop and LGY. Lil Goyer.
	Yeah, you got it.
	It's Clippity Clop.
	The message is clear.
	Just Clippity Clop.
	Yes!
	You've got karma.
	The game we saw, he died.
	Someone's getting cornholed today.
	Sounds like a recipe for success to me.
	And I did that for Cornville.
	Yeah, it was.
	Yeah.
	He lives in the town of Cornball, and it's William Bachman.
	Cornville, not Cornball.
	Cornball.
	Okay.
	Sir Nick, Dragon of the Four Domains, is there other...
	He's now an associate executive producer with $214.17, which is the one and only belated Valentine's Day donation.
	No one...
	It says no one.
	No one.
	I guess no one.
	All I have is a Duke named Nick that brown monstrosity on 13 Mile and Woodward.
	Thus, I guess, thus I'm a no-agenda knight looking for a 20-something...
	No agenda dame in the metro Detroit area.
	There's a lot of meetups in Detroit.
	He's looking for a dame.
	He's looking for a dame.
	Can I get a John's gonna read the Sunday Times?
	I forgot about that.
	Yeah.
	And what else?
	And some karma.
	He's got two notes.
	One, I'm 22, out of college.
	Two, I love the behind the scenes footage.
	The donation isn't.
	There it is.
	There's our one donation.
	The one donation.
	The donation is part of that.
	Ah, that's nice.
	P.S. My dad has noticed that people have begun to overpronounce the letter H. Yes.
	Is this time the same as the underpronunciation of T? Give me an example.
	Well, I've heard this.
	I've heard Brits don't say H. They say H. I've always found very odd.
	I'll remember when I was learning how to fly a helicopter, I had a British instructor in the beginning, and he'd always say, Adam, just take it to the H. Like, where do you want me to go?
	To the H. I don't know what...
	I mean, the airport.
	What am I doing?
	To the H! You see, he meant the H, the heli H that's on the helipad.
	Oh, the heliport.
	I didn't know what the hell he was talking about.
	I don't know about...
	I think more Hitler, maybe like that.
	Next time...
	Nick, if you can, send us another note with some examples of words that we can pronounce with that.
	John's gonna hum the Sunday time.
	You've got karma.
	Oh, beautiful.
	Good one.
	I like that.
	Thanks for bringing it back.
	And that will be the it for our show, 909, 904.
	Yeah, 904.
	That's the way it goes.
	Sometimes we just get noticed.
	A lot of it has to do with when I do a newsletter with actual information.
	You silly man, you.
	Why do you bother?
	Why do you bother?
	Well, thank you to our two execs.
	One exec, one associate executive producer.
	We'd really appreciate it.
	We'll be thanking more people later on who came in at $50 or more.
	And, of course, another show coming up on Sunday.
	Remember us at...
	Dvorak.org slash NA. Oh, yes!
	We need you to do more!
	We need you to propagate the formula!
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Since we were just talking about it, about him looking for a dame from about him looking for a dame from the alternate universe.
	Now, do I have a clip for alternate universe?
	I think I do.
	Don't we have alternate universe jingle or something?
	Not that I know of.
	Yeah, we have this one.
	Where did this alternate universe story come from?
	Came from the alternate universe.
	They say opposites attract.
	But these days, not so much.
	Singles are putting it right out there on their dating profiles.
	Trump haters or Trump supporters need not apply.
	This was like a deal breaker for me.
	If you're a Trump supporter, I'm not even going to consider meeting you for coffee.
	To 50-year-old Elizabeth Jagus, it's more than just party politics.
	It's about core values.
	She says love cannot conquer all.
	If you don't care about a person who says you can grab women by the and that's okay, I don't want to date you if you think that behavior is okay.
	If that's not a deal breaker for you, then you and I have nothing to talk about.
	As another single put it in her profile, red hats need not apply.
	But those red hats, you know, the ones stamped with Make America Great Again, they've been feeling it too.
	Yeah, it's both ways.
	You know, like a liberal doesn't want to date a Nazi.
	And a Republican doesn't want to date a whiny snowflake.
	I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to date a Nazi.
	Sounds like fun.
	And that's what they're viewing each other as.
	It all prompted David Goss to launch TrumpSingles.com, a safe space for Trump supporters who say they're sick of lefties refusing to even give them a shot.
	I love it how you have NPR giving Republicans a safe space.
	I find that peculiar.
	And of course, the accusation is that Match.com is literally throwing people off the site.
	Oh, yes.
	Oh, yes.
	Stay tuned.
	...base for Trump supporters who say they're sick of lefties refusing to even give them a shot.
	They're just repeating this left echo chamber of, oh, you must be a racist.
	Oh, you must be a homophobe.
	Oh, you must be a misogynist.
	They're judging the people based on who they voted for without actually getting to know them.
	Anthropologist Helen Fisher, an advisor to Match.com, says new research from the dating site shows both liberals and conservatives are moving away from center and are likelier now to shun each other, though liberals a little more so.
	David Goss says his Trump Singles site is up to 35,000 members.
	There are nearly 50,000 on LiberalHearts.com.
	Joe Goldman became his own first client on MapleMatch.com, a dating site that helps Americans find Canadians, as Goldman puts it, to save them from Trump.
	I can't tell you the sinking feeling I felt.
	That's not the country I want to live in.
	So why?
	Memo.
	Dude, I hope there's gay guys in Scandinavia because that's what you're looking for.
	I can't tell you the sinking feeling I felt.
	That's not the country I want to live in.
	So why not consider places that might be more in line with my values, like Canada?
	Better than the alternative, Goldman says.
	According to the new Match.com survey, a growing number of liberals today are simply choosing to not date at all.
	Go!
	Good, don't propagate.
	That's what I was implying with the women that live in the East Bay.
	Yes, you're right.
	And that's what I'm seeing here in Austin, where we have tons of young couples.
	This building, which is, of course, smoke-free, the way it should be.
	Pets.
	It's all dogs.
	Everybody has a dog, and they got cute, and they're like their children.
	They're not making kids anymore.
	They're taking dogs.
	Everyone has a dog.
	They live in condos with dogs.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's odd to see that.
	And we got a lot of Google people moving here as well.
	We got a big Google building going up.
	And you can spot them.
	I'm sorry to hear that.
	You can spot them.
	It's like Indian guy with Asian girl.
	Oh, you work at Google?
	It's so obvious.
	Huh.
	Yeah.
	You know, I went to, years ago, a little aside, I'm in Brazil.
	Every story that's good starts out like that.
	That's a good...
	Or you could say, when I was in Doha, that would also be a good opener.
	That would be a good opener.
	But the reason I... This is important that I was in Brazil for the story, because I was at some awards ceremony where they were giving these, you know, just like any of these awards, where they give it to Microsoft, gets it for this, and he's kind of big...
	So they had these awards, and they would bring up, and the winner is the Compaq computer so-and-so guys, and the winner is the Microsoft guys, and the winner is IBM. So as I watch this, the stereotypes of what these guys look like is spot on.
	It's exactly the same in Brazil.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, and look, holy shit, this guy looks like he works for Microsoft and Redmond.
	That's funny.
	Yeah.
	It doesn't surprise me.
	It doesn't surprise me at all.
	No.
	After I saw it, it didn't surprise me after I realized it.
	It's just the corporate culture.
	You look the way you look because you fit right in.
	It is.
	A little bit of Euro news as we have lots of elections coming up.
	Of course, one in the Netherlands, which I'm watching closely.
	Campaigning for next month's parliamentary election has officially got underway in the Netherlands.
	Observers are predicting the poll will test the anti-establishment sentiment that has swept the UK out of the EU and Donald Trump into the US presidency.
	I love how they're just pulling all this together.
	Don't you see that this is a worldwide movement against the new world order, no nations, no borders?
	Obviously not.
	The UK out of the EU and Donald Trump into the US presidency.
	I find it difficult, she says.
	I have to think it over, but I would like to vote left, as I always have done.
	But I'm afraid of al-Qaeda.
	I'm afraid of many people who are going to vote right-wing.
	Heard Wilders has led in opinion polls for most of the past two years.
	However, the fragmented political landscape in the Netherlands means a coalition government of four or more parties is all but inevitable.
	All but one party's ruled out sharing power with Wilders, whose policies are seen as offensive and sometimes unconstitutional.
	He's expected to get 20% of the popular vote compared to 16% for his main rival, Conservative Prime Minister Mark Ruter.
	The latest poll suggests 37% of likely voters in the Netherlands remain undecided.
	I have a feeling it's going to be a pretty big win for him.
	The Dutch are very sneaky about things.
	They don't talk about it, but they go out and they do.
	They vote.
	They do vote.
	Not that their vote ever counts.
	We're still waiting for the Ukraine Association Agreement to be officially turned down by Brussels since you have to have all member states ratify it.
	The Netherlands voted no in a referendum.
	Thanks for your vote.
	Who gives a crap about you?
	Yeah, that's funny.
	And the Schengen area...
	It continues to be more problematic.
	These are the countries that initially decided to have open borders.
	No nations, no borders.
	And they're clamping down now because of the, well, they call them migrants.
	You can call them refugees, but it's really immigration.
	It's the same thing we have over here.
	And the EU is clamping down, and we're idiots because we want to do the same.
	Austria has announced it will introduce quotas to limit the incoming flow of migrants.
	The news comes days after the foreign ministry said the country was already close to reaching the maximum number it said it would accept this year.
	Fears are growing of a potential end to the open border Schengen zone and the subsequent threat to free travel.
	This road haulier says for us in the Austrian transport business, the worst case scenario would be that if the Schengen borders around Austria close, it would cost us up to 8.2 million euros each day.
	Vienna says it will tighten border controls at 12 further points.
	Increased checks are already in place at the busiest crossing, Spielfeld, on the border with Slovenia.
	Government officials claim other countries along the Balkan route are also increasingly tightening checks.
	The Austrian interior minister said border authorities would stop letting people through once the quotas are reached, although she did not specify their size.
	And they are doing this for a very good reason.
	We don't hear about it much more.
	But the flow of migrants into the EU, particularly through Italy, is only increasing.
	And that, of course, as we learned, is because migrants are a business model.
	All of Italy runs on money for migrants.
	Europe has been sending more rescue vessels to prevent migrants from drowning in the Mediterranean.
	Yet the number of people dying en route from Libya to Italy has hit a record high as smugglers pack ever more people onto unsafe boats.
	It's a sad paradox and the trend is unlikely to change this year, says the EU border and coast guard agency Frontex.
	The number of migrants now on the...
	It's just way too much.
	We have too many migrants.
	I don't know what we're going to do with this.
	Crazy shit, man.
	It's crazy.
	The number of migrants now on very small dinghies or fisher boats has increased.
	On average, there are 160 migrants this year, while in 2015 there was approximately 100 migrants per boat.
	He expects as many migrants will cross from Libya this year as last, when more than 180,000 reached Italian shores.
	More than 4,500 people drowned along the way.
	So these boats are now overfilled.
	It was 100, now it's 160 on average per boat.
	All of that may just be a distraction for some very disturbing news, those of you living in the Euroland zone.
	January 18, 2017, a brand new European Union regulation went into effect.
	It's number 655.
	It stems from May 15, 2014.
	You're going to love this.
	This regulation circumvents independent legal rights by doing the following.
	The European Commission says they have this new, actually it has a name, the European Account Preservation Order, EPO, E-A-P-O, meant to facilitate cross-border debt recovery in civil and commercial matters.
	So the European Commission described EPO as a simple and cost-effective way to block funds that are owed by a creditor in another member state.
	Now this can even happen in ex parte, so if you're not even there, and let's just say someone has a claim and says, yeah, I'm in Germany, you're in Italy, and you owe me money.
	And they can take that money out of your bank account in Italy.
	So you used to have to then go to a court in the other country, or as they call it, member state, and file a lawsuit.
	Now you can do it in your own country, and the banking system, which we warned for, is now completely integrated, and your money will be blocked and taken away from you.
	Can you imagine that happening?
	It's a false claim.
	That's a very good question.
	You'll be blocked no matter what.
	Your money will be blocked.
	Yeah, this is not good.
	I can't believe it.
	How did the European nations let this happen?
	Didn't you see this was going on?
	It's all Germany at the center of it, if you've ever noticed.
	Of course it is.
	This is their version of the Third Reich.
	This is the Fourth Reich.
	Yeah, the Fourth Reich.
	You've done a great job, I mean, in terms of...
	Hey, why don't we call it Reich 4.0?
	Yeah, Reich 4.0.
	I think that's better.
	And that would be the show title for this show.
	It's possible.
	It's possible.
	Just came up with it.
	I don't know.
	It just happened.
	It just happened all of a sudden.
	All right, let's go to...
	First of all...
	I've got the...
	They've changed on RT itself, they've changed the pronunciation of Gaian Chichikan.
	We may have the same clip.
	Oh, I have the Gaian Chichikan.
	Hold on, hold on.
	Chichikan.
	Chichikan.
	Gaian Chichikan.
	Now, that's how we pronounce it.
	Gaian Chichikan.
	I'm sure it's incorrect, but it fits much better with the song.
	What do you have, John?
	Do we have a Chichikan here?
	This is the ISO. Ah.
	Uh...
	Wait, I don't see it.
	Yeah, yeah, I got it, I got it, I got it.
	Guy and A are surprised to some and already being called a victory.
	What did he say?
	Let me listen again.
	Guy and A. Guy and A are surprised to some and already being called a victory.
	Huh.
	And at the end he pronounced it Guy and A. Guy and A. Yeah, the E is pronounced as an A. So it's Guyana.
	And I think that this way, because he made a big point of this, I think that she's got, she was sick of people mispronouncing her first name.
	Those damn No Agenda guys with your damn jingle, it's all wrong.
	Well, no, I think they were mispronouncing it on the RT, too.
	I know, but we have one of our producers, one of our producers has been tweeting her and saying, hey, you should listen to No Agenda show.
	They have jingles for you.
	And she responded, I think.
	You know, it's always possible, because normally the guy rips off...
	He does it like his one word.
	He can't really pull out the Guyanae part.
	Yeah, it's too many syllables.
	So now he's pronouncing it Guyanae, and she does a report on Flynn if you want to listen to her.
	Yeah, listen to that.
	The media and Trump's opposition have been after the president's now former national security adviser for months now, way before these phone calls happened.
	They condemned Flynn's appearance on our channel.
	They condemned his trip to Moscow a little over a year ago, where he was invited to RT's anniversary gala, where the Russian president was also a guest, and other things.
	Take a listen.
	Tonight, confirmation that President-elect Trump's national security adviser, General Michael Flynn, was in contact with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. U.S. investigators are scrutinizing late December phone calls between Mike Flynn, President Donald Trump's national security adviser, and Russia's ambassador to the U.S. Trump's national security adviser could be in trouble over a phone call he made before he was on the White House payroll.
	Anonymous sources telling the paper that U.S. counterintelligence agents are looking into communications Flynn is said to have had with Russian officials.
	Many of Trump's opponents have presented Russia as the main reason Trump won the presidency.
	And they've been struggling for months to somehow connect the administration to Russia.
	And they are now celebrating Flynn's resignation as a victory.
	I got a jingle for all of those news prostitutes who are confused whether it's KGB or FSB or what did Putin work for?
	Putin!
	This will help you. This will help you.
	You and me.
	That's easy to remember.
	That's cute.
	Isn't that great?
	Well, this was Simon Lee.
	It was kind of cool because he sent me a jingle.
	He said, oh, this is great.
	And it was wrong.
	I said, no, no.
	Pull this out.
	Give me an intro.
	Put this in.
	Don't do that at the end.
	And he nailed it on the second try.
	You should be a record producer.
	Let's start our own label.
	Yeah, and we'll make just as much money as we do now.
	Or less.
	We're lucky.
	Let's not do that.
	But that was a great job.
	Great job.
	Okay, well, let's do this little off-topic.
	All right.
	Swing around.
	I want to just play this clip so I can grouse.
	And I like to use that word, obviously.
	This is the Hickenlooper clip.
	Now, I want to preface this before you listen to any of it.
	Governor Hickenlooper of Colorado was all against the legalization of marijuana in his state, still hates the idea.
	He is a retrograde kind of a reactionary when it comes to this, the legalization of pot.
	And so now he's the big expert.
	The governor of Colorado is giving state lawmakers here in California some tips about legalized marijuana.
	Governor John Hickenlooper says Colorado made some big mistakes when it legalized recreational marijuana five years ago.
	He's now urging California lawmakers to set some clear standards, especially when it comes to driving under the influence of marijuana.
	He also believes that California lawmakers need to create specific rules involving edible marijuana goods.
	California voters legalized recreational marijuana back in November.
	Legal pot sales are set to begin next year.
	What is going to become of this?
	I'm kind of tired of it.
	The guys who are resistant?
	The resist we much people?
	Yeah, I brought out a good old end of show clip for resist we much.
	Yeah.
	It was a big deal in the Bay Area.
	They had a giant resist on the beach, on the San Francisco beach.
	Which isn't really just the coldest beach in the world, but the tide was out.
	So with people, I wish someone would do this at the No Agenda show, but using people, they spelled out the word resist on the beach, and somebody took a picture of it with a drone, and it's gone all over the net.
	It's on Twitter and every place else.
	But I was hoping somebody would put we much.
	Just a couple dudes standing there with a scraggly spelled we much.
	Yeah.
	If you're wondering what that is about, maybe I should just play that because not everybody has listened to the program that long.
	Oops, that's for end of show.
	The one I want is this one here.
	But resist, we much.
	We must and we will much about that be committed.
	This was, for anyone who doesn't know, this was taken from the Al Sharpton show on MSNBC where he got fouled up with the prompter and just plowed ahead with whatever he thought it was saying and he tried to catch up and he just made a botch of it.
	Well, here's an example of some of his botches as he fights the teleprompter.
	Resist, we much.
	We must.
	They're all jitty about a shutdown.
	The Tortoise in the race.
	Then co-author of Hubris.
	U2 lead singer Bono.
	Fran Drescher.
	Siganoi Weaver.
	Suspect Jahar Sanayev Rush Limbaugh.
	Rush Limbaugh, Rush Limbaugh, the show Rush Lombard host, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, is Mike, is Mike, uh, Muckery, yesterday, Antonin, Antonin Scalia, Kim Kardashian, and the Republican candidates for Cairo and Benghazi.
	We rank behind Latvija, uh, La Vita.
	First up, Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan to college students in Beijing.
	He's getting lunch at Chipotle in Iowa.
	Bain is appropriate.
	The GOP's tax day giveaway to millionaires.
	Why was traffic problems email sent?
	Environmental projection agency and what sequestration has done.
	I had forgotten an environmental projection agency.
	That's a good one.
	Oh, wow.
	That's so funny.
	This guy was one of the top guys on MSNBC, giving his own show, and he had big viewership.
	He had 600,000, which is a lot for MSNBC. So you can imagine 600,000 people watching this guy fumble his way to the show.
	It's just like, believing these pronunciations are unbelievable.
	I mean, if you would give me a crap for not being able to pronounce you enemy or whatever it is.
	But Chipotle.
	Chipotle.
	Well, the skillet.
	So here's my favorite.
	There's a last one I'll play.
	The party has been reinvigorated based on a number of these things.
	And I think it's imperative that we know what the truth is, know what the facts are, and have our president's back as he has ours to push through this like he has.
	Has had to almost every single year he's been in office.
	Well, there's no doubt about the fact that they want to put...
	I heard someone say, I think it was Matthews, that they want to put an ass tick next to his name.
	An ass tick.
	Instead of asterisk, an ass tick.
	Let's put that next to his name.
	An ass tick.
	I like it.
	Oh man, oh man, oh man.
	Hey, it's heating up in Turkey.
	I told you that, you know, the guy came out and said, oh, the earthquake machine, they're going to turn it on us.
	Since February 6th, there have been 749 earthquakes to hit Turkey.
	They're shaking it up, John.
	They're shaking it up.
	Well, they can't get it to take the...
	Turkey is earthquake prone.
	Yes.
	Which is why all you have to do is shake it up a little and then the big one will happen by itself.
	That's the way I see it.
	It could happen.
	Yeah.
	That's the way I see it.
	My story.
	My wife is listening to...
	We're watching...
	I'm trying to get clips last night.
	So she sits down.
	I got Amy Goodman on.
	And she can't watch Amy Goodman.
	She just complains bitterly.
	She doesn't like her look.
	And she starts making this noise, my wife, which is her imitation of Amy Goodman talking.
	And she sounds a lot like the ducks we used to have.
	And so I decided to record this.
	I said, I've got to record this for the show.
	Okay.
	This is my wife doing Amy Goodman.
	All right, here we go.
	Wow.
	Ten years.
	First time she's participated in the show.
	And she sounds a lot like Amy Goodman.
	She does.
	That's sad to say.
	Well, she can do a little spoofs for us then.
	That's going in the end of the show.
	I'm sure someone's going to make a whole song about it.
	Yeah, you can make a song out of that one.
	Mimi will be horrified.
	Here's another little story that doesn't get much play in the mainstream media, but RT doesn't mind playing it up.
	This is the depleted uranium story I didn't know about.
	Yeah, I got this from Guyana as well.
	Hello, welcome to RT, Russia Today.
	The Pentagon has confirmed to us here at RT that despite previously vowing it would never use depleted uranium in Syria, it's in fact fired thousands of rounds containing the radioactive substance, this during the US-led anti-ISIL operation.
	Let's take a closer look at what depleted uranium really is and why it's so dangerous.
	DU, as it's known, is a toxic and radioactive compound used in armor-piercing munitions.
	Many scientists say it can actually affect and damage people's DNA. Also affecting the nervous system, the heart, the liver, the kidneys.
	Birth defects over generations include babies born with no heads and missing limbs as well.
	Tourette's.
	Now, the Pentagon has admitted to using at least Hey man, the Pentagon gave me Tourette's.
	I want my money back.
	D.U. That's what I'll say.
	Instead of Tourette's, I'll say depleted uranium.
	Babies born with no heads and missing limbs as well.
	Now, the Pentagon has admitted to using at least 5,000 rounds of depleted uranium in at least two incidents.
	This is an official video we can show you of a raid showing the bombing of an Islamic State oil convoy.
	These coalition strikes are part of Operation Inherent Resolve aimed at crippling the infrastructure used by ISIL to fund itself through oil production.
	Our teaser Guyana Chichikan now with a closer look at the story.
	Hit it!
	U.S. Central Command wrote us that the military had used depleted uranium to destroy over 330 trucks which ISIL was using to transport its illicit oil.
	These airstrikes took place in November of 2015 in Syria.
	CENTCOM said that the U.S. military had fired over 5,200 rounds containing depleted uranium and high-explosive incendiary materials during these operations.
	Depleted uranium is known to be very effective at destroying armored vehicles, including tanks.
	But its use has been extremely controversial, as it is believed that people's exposure to the material can cause cancer and birth defects.
	The U.S. military's use of this toxic material contradicts what U.S. officials had said earlier, which was that they would not use depleted uranium.
	In March of 2015, coalition spokesman John Moore was quoted as saying, U.S. and coalition aircraft have not been and will not be using depleted uranium munitions in Iraq or Syria during Operation Inherent Resolve.
	It is unclear how many Syrians were or will be exposed to the toxic material, but its use in densely populated areas during the American invasion of Iraq had a major blowback.
	Yeah, that's nasty stuff.
	It goes on suggesting war crimes.
	Well, it's used for armor piercing, right?
	Yes, and that makes you wonder.
	And by the way, when they say 5,000 rounds, these are shells they're talking about.
	It's not like a 9mm.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And so why would you use it against trucks?
	You don't need to use armor-piercing material.
	Have you seen these old pieces of crap oil tankers that the ISIS guys were running down the road?
	They didn't need to use armor-piercing material.
	I'm not sure.
	We have a lot of people who are listening who will tell us why, if there's a legitimate reason.
	I don't think there is.
	But for sure, it's not good stuff.
	It's also not good if you're sitting in the truck, and no matter what hits it.
	The video's pretty bad.
	Yeah.
	It's pretty bad.
	Now I'm thinking if the Trump people wanted to stir up some stuff, they should indict Obama for war crimes.
	This would be an example.
	I think killing the Americans in the cafe would be an example.
	There's all kinds of possibilities.
	That would take a little pressure off the Trump administration.
	Go after Hillary.
	Nah, there's no way that's going to happen.
	It's obvious.
	Unless something happens with the deep state, he's a dead man.
	I'm sorry to say it.
	JFK. Guys who come in and want to fix something, want to do something right, and that's his intent, I believe, they wind up dead.
	Well, he hasn't threatened the agency with reorg, which is what happened with both Nixon and Kennedy.
	And Nixon wasn't killed, because he'd be right on the heels of Kennedy.
	No.
	He was just rousted by, you know, according to Russ Baker, which I mentioned in the newsletter, Russ Baker's book Family of Secrets discusses how Nixon, the setup for Watergate seems to have been done by, all the guys are CIA guys, and they botched it on purpose to get Nixon in a bind and get him out, and they got him out.
	Right.
	They got rid of him.
	Yeah.
	And that was the last guy who threatened to re-org the CIA. And Trump's tried to warm up to him.
	He gave a little speech the other day.
	And, you know, everyone seemed to be there clapping.
	But it's somebody else.
	It's those clerks.
	The pencil pushers.
	The pencil pushers aren't the ones that are doing this.
	It's good for the show.
	It's great for the show, but I am worried.
	I'm just worried.
	First of all, if anything happens to Trump, we get Mike Pence, and that will be bad for the show.
	He's very boring.
	He's very boring.
	He looks like a CIA guy, though.
	That makes me even more worried.
	He looks like he's been working for the agency for his whole life.
	If you look at Mike Pence, from at least my perspective running into these kinds of guys...
	He looks like he works at the CIA. He looks like he works at Langley.
	He's got the white hair.
	He does.
	He does.
	Button-down collar.
	They've got the collar, the monochrome tie, or some minor tie.
	It's no big deal.
	Very conservative Brooks Brothers look.
	Yes.
	And the hair, even the haircut, is right out of the, you know, right out of the book.
	So I'm not sure what he's going to do about it, but I've witnessed this in my own life.
	JFK, of course, I didn't witness, but Pim Fortane in the Netherlands.
	You know, he was a guy who was saying a lot of, hey, we've got to stop this immigration.
	This is nuts.
	And he said this in 2000.
	And everyone's like, yeah, this is nuts.
	Screw it.
	And a lot of people voted, and he won.
	He won posthumously because he was assassinated a little over a week before the election.
	Yeah.
	Same group.
	Yeah.
	The New World Order.
	We can finally say it.
	Deep State is no longer a crackpot theory for years.
	I know they're all saying it now.
	No agenda show, a conspiracy theory.
	Yeah.
	Oh, just to show you how fake news works.
	Trump and Mar-a-Lago with the Japanese Prime Minister.
	Oh, man.
	Everyone lost their crap over that.
	Yeah, my wife did, too.
	She doesn't listen to the show.
	How could he do that?
	I said, what are you watching where you get this information?
	She has no idea.
	Well, listen to David Frum, who maybe she's been reading from too much.
	Astonishing security breach that happened at Mar-a-Lago just yesterday when he was meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister and they got word of the North Korean missile test.
	And the president, I mean, it's hard to call him that, but he is the president.
	This guy's from Scandinavia, is he not?
	From?
	Yeah.
	Is he from Canada?
	I don't know where he's from.
	I don't know where from is from.
	Well, shut up, from.
	You're in America, you call any of them.
	If it's Obama, you're calling the president.
	If it's Trump, you're calling the president.
	Don't be a douche.
	Even Hillary.
	The president, I mean, it's hard to call him that, but he is the president of the United States, was on the terrace at Mar-a-Lago, reading top-secret documents in front of the other paying customers and illuminating those top-secret documents with flashlights from people's iPhones.
	Now, we don't even know if that's true.
	There's no proof whatsoever.
	It seems like a news account that he was reading.
	Totally, totally.
	As the New York Times reported, an iPhone is a mobile satellite TV broadcast unit.
	A mobile satellite TV broadcast unit.
	That's what a mobile phone...
	Is this a satellite TV mobile broadcast unit?
	Where is this guy?
	What...
	Who is he?
	He's from Neptune.
	He's from Canada.
	Mobile satellite broadcast unit.
	As the New York Times reported, an iPhone is a mobile...
	Satellite TV broadcast unit.
	And if there's any kind of Russian or anybody, Chinese or anybody's device on that iPhone, that...
	What?
	If the device is on that iPhone, what?
	And a Russian or anybody, Chinese or anybody's device on that iPhone, that as these top secret documents are illuminated, they could also be being, in effect, faxed to...
	Faxed?
	Oh, John, he's going to fax him.
	Because we have a mobile satellite TV broadcast unit, and we use it to fax.
	Documents are illuminated.
	They could also be being, in effect, faxed to some foreign intelligence operation.
	Why do they have people like this on the air?
	Yeah, gotta fill the airtime, baby.
	He's an idiot.
	I got some audio, but there's video in the show notes, of course.
	904.noagendanotes.com.
	Of Trump at Mar-a-Lago and Abe.
	And this audio is...
	There was a wedding going on.
	Does Trump still own Mar-a-Lago?
	I thought he sold it to a Russian.
	No.
	He still owns it?
	As far as I know.
	Maybe he sold the other place to a Russian.
	Well, he's had a bunch of places.
	I know some of them have been sold, but he still has New York and this place for sure.
	Now, Mar-a-Lago is a club, and you pay to be a member, and there was a wedding there, and they crashed the wedding.
	This is the stuff that makes me chuckle about this president.
	There's love and success, and everything that comes with it.
	And I said to the Prime Minister of Japan, I said, come on, let's go over and say love again.
	I don't know if you can hear that through the...
	Yeah, he said, let's come over Shinze.
	Yeah, Shinze, come on, let's go crash that wedding.
	Yeah.
	And so Abe did.
	Yeah, and they had a good time, and they're taking pictures.
	Can you imagine what this guy would be like if he actually did drink?
	Oh, hilarious.
	Oh, man, party.
	What a party town.
	Woo!
	Yeah.
	So, I guess for me, it's just all so tiring, John.
	So tiring.
	Because, of course, my beat is CNN and MSNBC and Fox.
	It's all the same.
	It's just over.
	It just tires me out.
	Yeah, it is pretty fatiguing.
	Mm-hmm.
	I have to agree.
	Let's go back to CBS. And now we have some poor Muslim woman that's being highlighted as part of the situation.
	All of a sudden, Trump hates Muslims and everything's about Muslims, Muslims, Muslims.
	And so there's this woman trying to say, I thought this was kind of a good story.
	I got it down as a three-parter with a part 2.5 ISO. Nice.
	Because I thought they produced this thing and put this little ditty in there, but we'll play that after at some point.
	Let's start.
	Muslims in Canada, CBS 1.
	Amounts to discrimination against Muslims.
	Canadians who are Muslims say they're finding evidence of that already at the U.S. border.
	Jerika Duncan has that story.
	I thought that, like, I was arrested for something that I didn't do.
	Canadian citizens Fadwa Allawi and her cousin Fadela Butaleb were recently on one of their quick shopping trips across the border.
	This time they were celebrating Allawi's five-year-old son's last chemo treatment.
	Okay, now I had to stop it there.
	Because is that what you do after your chemo treatment?
	Is you go across the border to another country to celebrate the chemo treatment by shopping?
	So they slipped this in.
	This is a little propagandistic thing.
	Hold on.
	I'm celebrating the chemo.
	Yeah, so this little boy, little boy, little kid.
	He's like a normal kid.
	And he's getting chemo for something.
	And he had cancer, I suppose.
	And so they threw this in as kind of the little heart grab.
	Ah, the human interest part of the story.
	Yeah, let's put...
	Oh, these women would just have...
	And one of them, by the way, only speaks Arabic.
	In Canada.
	But there's these two women.
	The woman that's doing the talking, she's wearing a head thing.
	A head thing.
	A head thing.
	A hijab?
	Okay.
	And it could be a chador.
	I don't know.
	Anyway, she's yakking.
	But it's the person doing the report that throws in the little part about it.
	They're celebrating the chemo.
	A little angle in there.
	And I just thought that was cheesy.
	And when I get to my little ISO, you'll see another little cheesy thing these guys do.
	This is CBS. Both sons' last chemo treatment.
	But when they arrived at the U.S. border in Highgate Springs, Vermont, the women say they were asked repeatedly about their religion.
	He told me, are you Muslim, right?
	I answered yes.
	Had you ever been asked before if you were Muslim?
	No, no, no, never, no.
	That was the first time that I was asked that unexpected questions.
	Did the agent ask you about your political views?
	He asked me, what do you think about Donald Trump?
	I told him it's not my business.
	Allawi says they were told to hand over their cell phones and passwords.
	She says officers would have seen several inspirational speeches and prayer videos.
	Fidela Boutalif says she was asked, do Moroccans like Americans?
	After nearly five hours of waiting, they were denied entry.
	The border officer explained why.
	They found videos and concern against us.
	Videos that were concerning?
	Yeah.
	Against the United States?
	Yeah.
	Alawi says she's now too afraid to even visit her parents who live in Chicago.
	I think the message that he wants to tell me that you are not welcome in our country.
	A spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection said they could not discuss the case, but they say they do not discriminate on the basis of religion, and its top priority, Scott, is preventing terrorists from entering the country.
	Jerrika Duncan for us tonight.
	Jerrika, thank you.
	Hold on a second.
	Hold on a second.
	How can this be a balanced report when we have sound clips, bites from this woman who was denied entry, and just a little toss away, eh, the agent said that.
	Where's the report?
	Where's the official denial?
	I mean, where's some real audio?
	What's going on with that?
	That's bullcrap.
	That's not a report.
	No, this is just one of these things to stir up the left that watches CBS. Everybody on the other side, the Trump side, because Trump's mentioned in the report, are all haters.
	Of course, of course.
	Now, the little gotcha in here was this little crazy clip.
	And by the way, the clips that they did show on the phone because they had the camera on it, they looked like some radical guy.
	But that's beside the point.
	This is the Muslims in Canada, CBS 2-5 ISO. And what they did was they make an assertion, and then they play from one of the clips, somebody saying, uh-oh, as though it's like a gag or something.
	Yeah.
	Against the United States.
	Yeah.
	Uh-oh!
	Allawi says she's...
	What was that?
	That was in the report.
	Yeah.
	Against the United States.
	Yeah.
	Uh-oh!
	Allawi says she's...
	Why?
	I don't understand.
	That's odd.
	Yeah, if you went back and listened to it, you'd hear it.
	I mean, I didn't do any sweetening at all.
	I just clipped it out of there.
	But it was like this little...
	Little uh-oh thing.
	For some reason, I don't know exactly what it was supposed to do or how it was supposed to affect you.
	It was very subtle.
	In ISO, it's not subtle.
	No, it's very clear.
	It's very subtle.
	It's a non-sequitur ISO is what it is.
	Yeah, against the United States.
	Uh-oh!
	Now, when you heard the whole report, you didn't notice it.
	No, I didn't at all.
	No, no.
	In fact, I didn't notice it the first time I clipped it.
	It was only when I was editing the clip, I heard it.
	What is that?
	What is this?
	I wanted to mention, people, if you're looking for editing software and you have a Mac, there's a fantastic deal on this thing called Hindenburg Journalist, I think.
	$1.98.
	And I've switched now.
	This thing is phenomenal.
	And it includes a journalist's license.
	It does.
	It does.
	It's funny.
	It's an outstanding product.
	$1.98.
	Crazy.
	All right.
	Just mentioning.
	All right.
	You have a third clip.
	No, that was the third clip.
	Well, before we take a break, I wanted to share something about radio.
	And although this comes from the UK, it was a leaked memo to presenters of this radio network, which I think includes stations in Manchester, Newcastle, London, Liverpool, Glasgow.
	It's more of a music station than anything.
	Just to give you an idea, because these memos are legendary.
	I've received them, but this is for the presenters, as they call them, of this radio station.
	Would you like to hear?
	I'm amazed that they even let these people into the studio anymore.
	Why don't you just have a robot do it?
	Check it out.
	So when a disc jockey or a presenter speaks in the UK, they call that a link.
	We call it a segment.
	They call it a link.
	And the link is, I guess, linking one thing to the next.
	Every link.
	You will say all the biggest hits all day long in every link.
	Say station name in every link.
	New music links, speed links, crunch and roll.
	Always say, all the biggest hits all day long at the top of the link.
	Never the end!
	Say the station name into the new song.
	These links should be 10 to 15 seconds max and only focus on selling the song coming up.
	Nothing else underlined.
	Every time you play a B or C list song, it is new to somebody listening to your show.
	Sell it to that person each time.
	If you think you've heard it a lot, the audience are just getting to know it.
	I love this memo.
	Links into breaks or junctions.
	I know what a junction is.
	But into a break is a commercial break.
	Always say, oh, the biggest hits all day long at the top of the link.
	Never the end.
	We don't want people associating our position with commercials.
	Tease into every break.
	That's good advice.
	Your teases need to be signed off by your content controller or content director.
	So what you say has to be signed off by the content controller.
	So in other words, there's a bureaucracy for doing teases.
	Yes.
	Tease me.
	Don't warn me.
	Never tell me the song and artist.
	The thought of that particular song may prompt me to switch out.
	However, once it starts playing, I'm likely to stick with it.
	Well, hold on.
	There's an illogic there.
	I'll read it again.
	Tease me.
	Don't warn me.
	Never tell me the song and the artist.
	The thought of that particular song may prompt me to switch out.
	However, once it starts playing, I'm likely to stick with it.
	Yeah, it's a little contradictory.
	Very contradictory, unless they've done some study that shows that once the song is going, you want to listen to it to the end.
	Oh, you're not going to get that.
	Listing songs or artists is not enough.
	Sell the upcoming sequence of three songs.
	Which one stands out to you?
	What's great about it?
	Share those thoughts with the listeners.
	You do that in 10 to 15 seconds.
	Be passionate about what you're playing or talking about next.
	Every presenter, this is for every presenter, talk about your log as though you've handpicked it yourself.
	This is my favorite.
	This is a program called Selector, which is used in pretty much every single music radio station in the universe, and it picks the songs.
	But please, talk about your log as though you've handpicked it yourself.
	Play every single song as though you've chosen it, especially for the listener.
	Love the music.
	Every song we play is a winner.
	Be proud of each one and share your passion.
	The audience will love you for it and listen longer.
	And finally, people, this is for the mood, people listen to the radio to lift their mood.
	Playing music for a living.
	Wow.
	I want to go shoot myself.
	Definitely something that makes you want to gag.
	That's what's become of the fine art of being a disco jockey or radio presenter.
	What a career.
	I'm going to show myself all by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	In the morning.
	Well, we have a few people to thank.
	For show 904.
	Starting with Sir Dirtbag Dave.
	Over here in Concord, California.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	He'll probably be on the trip to the train museum.
	He says, excellent newsletter.
	And thanks for refilling my sanity bucket.
	Dr.
	T. $111.11.
	Parts Unknown.
	He did send an email to somebody.
	We'll take a look at it.
	Nick...
	Bill Johannes, I guess.
	$100.
	Again, we don't know where he's from.
	Bill Hudek.
	That came in as a check from Timonium, Maryland.
	$100.
	Sir Lynn Fogwell.
	$85.
	Melissa Hodges.
	$800.
	Mike from Singapore, who says he's from Seattle, but he's from Singapore.
	He also came in with boobs.
	Also, Eric Grunewald.
	In Bluthergutrand.
	In what?
	Blah, blah, blah, blah.
	He's a booze.
	He came in from South Africa.
	Let me do boobs for people who just...
	Oh, Groenevoud.
	There you go.
	It's Dutch.
	It's Dutch.
	Yeah, it's a Dutch town in South Africa.
	Yeah, Groenevoud.
	William Anderson.
	Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs. Boobs.
	Nick LaBlanca.
	7373.
	Paul St. Laurent.
	Wait, Nick.
	Rick has a call out.
	Call out.
	Oh, he does.
	It's a general douchebag call out for douchebaggers listening to this for free during your huge workload of late.
	Alright.
	That went out to everyone.
	That didn't help.
	Which is a lie.
	Paul St.
	Laurent in Renton, Washington.
	69, 69.
	Jonathan...
	What is it?
	Joe...
	Jobin.
	6666 in Vancouver, BC. Vancouver.
	Sir Kevin Dills, a baron of Mecklenburg County, came in from Charlotte, North Carolina, 6432.
	Huberto Caligroso in Montreal, Quebec, 6333.
	Ecuador Eric.
	I don't know why it's funny.
	And he sends us Kittens and Courage, which is also new.
	It is.
	5555.
	Sir Paul Webb in Twickenham, UK. 55-55.
	Matthew Dropko from Delaware, Ohio.
	55-55.
	I have no idea why there's that many of those today.
	Sir Michael Gates, 52-80 from Parts Unknown.
	And the following people are $50 donors.
	Name and location, if we have a location.
	Amitav Hajra in Daleville, Virginia.
	John Camp in Antlers, Oklahoma.
	Oh, by the way, did you see the guy that was on Twitter?
	I should have put in the newsletter.
	I'll put it in the next newsletter.
	What's that?
	The guy has a car.
	With license plate NA3333. No.
	He's got a 33 sticker, like Highway 33 bumper sticker on the back.
	Outstanding.
	And he's got no agenda thing somewhere else on the car.
	Oh, I love that.
	And then he stopped at the sign for the city of Nau Bone, Indiana.
	Oh, fabulous.
	Yeah, I need that picture.
	Yeah, I'll get it to you.
	And I will make one recommended.
	He could have washed the car, but...
	Oh, well.
	Can't have it all.
	Anyway, that was...
	I found it very interesting.
	Mike Westerfield that I... Sir Mike.
	$50.
	Also Brandon Savoy.
	Parts Unknown.
	Brian Ronnie.
	I'm sorry.
	Michael...
	Is it Missalock, Missalock, Missalock?
	Yeah, I just want to go back to Sir Michael Gates, if you don't mind.
	Two things for him.
	First of all, I honor his 50th birthday, which was yesterday, and he's on the list.
	This mile-high donation, 5280, completes my journey to Barron.
	Oh, I forgot about the old 5280.
	That's right.
	Since my fellow Colorado Springs Barron, Andrew Lemessen, he beat me to Pike's Peak as a protectorate, can I please be known henceforth as Sir Michael Gates, Barron of the rest of Colorado?
	Thanks to Adam for showing us how the sausage is made, and to John for tuning me on, to Dick Gregory and the two Trumps.
	Dick Gregory, yeah, the two Trumps.
	Michael Misalek in Lincoln Park, I think we named Brian Ronan, or Roni, Roni in Smyrna, Georgia.
	Patricia, Sir Dame Patricia Worthington, Dame Patricia, she's in Miami, and she's actually, she's a Biscayne Bay girl, I'm not sure.
	No.
	John Haller in Missoula, Montana, 50.
	Chris Lewinsky in Sherwood Park, Alberta.
	Simon Horn in Manly, Queensland.
	Sheila Demaradan.
	Andrew Johnson.
	Don't call me Johnson.
	Trevor Hoagland in Portland, Oregon.
	And last but not least, Sir Jeffrey Wingenroth in Saugus, California.
	That came in as a check.
	I want to thank him for that.
	That concludes our little group there of producers for show 904.
	And I got a note here from...
	Yeah, I got a note from Sir Chris Wilson in...
	I thought he was always in New Zealand.
	I don't know if he's in Sydney right now.
	Could you please, please, please rattle the rain sticks for the people in Port Hills around Christchurch in New Zealand?
	Have you seen this fire?
	No.
	Oh, man.
	A thousand people evacuated.
	It's a bushfire.
	But it's bad.
	It's really outrageous.
	They got some bad fires in those areas.
	Yeah, so...
	Now, last time I did this, it snowed everywhere.
	Well, I'm not going to do it.
	I'm going to just do a half.
	That way you can do yours because we're getting a little too much rain around here.
	It's causing damage.
	No, no.
	You guys are going to die.
	First, we thought you were going to die in the desert.
	Now, you're going to drown.
	You're dead over there.
	Yeah.
	They can't make up their minds.
	Now, a reminder, these are made by the excellent rain stick maker Sherry Osborne in Utah.
	They are real.
	They work.
	And we are licensed professionals.
	Let me see.
	So, New Zealand would be south.
	I'm going to point it south, John.
	Ready?
	Here we go.
	One and two.
	I think that'll be enough.
	Yeah, let's hope.
	Yeah, because usually after...
	Uh-oh.
	Uh-oh.
	Typically after...
	It takes like three days, but I worked on two for today for Christchurch.
	And thank you to everyone who did come in today supporting our program in our Value for Value model.
	We don't take any advertising.
	We also don't have memos that tell us what to say.
	If we like a product, we'll tell you because we like the product.
	And I have a nice little clip about that in a moment.
	Of course, thank you to everybody who came in under $50, usually for reasons of anonymity.
	And I am working on all the podcast licenses.
	If you have a 3333 subscription, drop me an email and I'll make sure you get that.
	And when you do, send me what name you want associated with the podcast license and what URL you'd like to point it to, if any.
	I can even point it to your Twitter name or something like that.
	And of course, we'll have another show coming up on Sunday.
	We hope you will contribute and help us out.
	No requests, but everybody can use some...
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	You've got a very short list today.
	Sir Michael Gates celebrated yesterday.
	We congratulate him.
	And my friend, Jack Ponte.
	Listen to Jack Ponte.
	He celebrates his 59th birthday today.
	Happy birthday from all your buddies here.
	The best podcast in the universe.
	It's his birthday, yeah.
	Two title changes.
	Two title changes today.
	We have Sir Michael Gates, who becomes baron of the rest of Colorado.
	It's his birthday.
	And we have Sir William Bachman, who becomes Baron Bill of the Verde Valley.
	And sadly, we have no nightings today.
	So that's all we have.
	Yeah, it's been a slow day.
	Slow day.
	Slow day.
	So let me play this.
	Hold on a second.
	Where was it?
	Yes.
	This was a great, great interview.
	I hate to say it, but again, Tucker Carlson makes me...
	I don't know why people go on his show.
	Are you stupid?
	Don't you understand?
	If you get an invitation from Tucker Carlson to be on his show, decline.
	I would.
	It's not the show, although the show comes on here at, I think, 9.
	Yeah.
	It's at 10, East Coast.
	I don't know what time it's on, West Coast.
	It's a good show, but no one really watches it.
	When you're on that, then you get ripped apart on YouTube with clips everywhere.
	That's why you should never go on this show.
	You're not going to go on the show and he's not going to be nice to you.
	Or if you go on, he's not going to be nice to you.
	He did bring on...
	Oh, this is great.
	He brought on, what's his name?
	Eric Wells from the Washington Post.
	Also known as the WAPO Man, WAPO Man, WAPO Man.
	I'm in the media.
	I read the Washington Post.
	I've read it most of my life.
	And in the past couple of months, I've seen a lot of stories, including some from you, accusing people of basically carrying water for the Russian government.
	And the Russian government's in the news today.
	So I thought I would ask you about something I've wondered about for a long time.
	Which is that the Washington Post for years, many years, has literally carried paid propaganda from the Russian government, a section called Russia Behind the Headlines.
	It looks like newsprint.
	It's designed to fool readers into thinking it's real.
	And it's pure propaganda paid for, distributed by the Russian government with stories like, you know, we're doing a great job in Crimea.
	Why have you never written about that?
	How can you attack others when you don't know that your own paper makes money from taking propaganda from the Russian government?
	See, this is why you always got to be careful because he's always got an angle.
	This is a very good one.
	This guy, I think, he's supposed to report on the media.
	That's his beat.
	This columnist, Ergo?
	Oh, he's the media guy.
	Yeah, all these papers all have a media guy.
	Yeah.
	The full interview is great, but here's just a minute of it.
	...back others when you don't know that your own paper makes money from taking propaganda from the Russian government.
	You know, I think that's a really good question.
	And I wish you'd told me you wanted to talk about this, but no, those inserts are interesting.
	I mean, they are part of...
	Why didn't you write about them?
	That's a good question.
	I think, you know, I got a lot to write about, but I, you know, I am interested in that topic, and I appreciate you bringing it up.
	But it's your own paper.
	I mean, you cover the media.
	Of course, yeah, I'm just interested.
	I do cover the media.
	And I believe there are several newspapers that do run these inserts.
	I think China has one as well.
	Right, that's right.
	They are what's known as native advertising, where they...
	No.
	No?
	No!
	Well, he's confused, but the way he explains...
	He's a media guy.
	He should know the difference.
	It's even better than that.
	Instead of explaining what they are, he actually...
	Alex, let me just say, as you continue...
	Go for it.
	Go for it.
	It's called an insert.
	Yeah.
	He's calling it native advertising, and his explanation of native advertising is worse than if he had just said, eh, it's an insert.
	He is such a moron, but it shows you how divorced he is from the reality of what his own organization is doing.
	I think China has one as well.
	Right, that's right.
	They are what's known as native advertising, where there are signs to the reader that this is not your, you know, your approved And I do think that people, subscribers to The Washington Post and The New York Times and other places that run these things can differentiate between the news that is in the paper proper and the news that is in the Russia, China, so on and so forth insert.
	So I love what I really love, even though he's talking about the wrong thing.
	They clearly have native advertising at the Washington Post.
	And he's saying, well, I'm pretty sure people can tell the difference between something that's not tried and true in approved journalism.
	How can...
	I mean, the sales department must be livid at this guy.
	Shut up!
	Shut up!
	Crazy.
	Native advertising.
	Pfft.
	Yeah, well, they have real native advertising.
	The difference, as far as I'm concerned, I don't think I get too much argument from people on this, because those inserts have been around forever.
	I've written one.
	But it is notable.
	Well, also, it's just notable that they're for Russia and China.
	Yeah, it's funny.
	And they're taking money.
	Yeah, well, sure, the Russian money's as good as anyone's.
	Little follow-up.
	As long as it's not in rubles.
	Little follow-up on the claim of many third-world countries that because of climate change, they're drowning and the sea is taking over.
	Sea levels are rising.
	We're all going to die.
	And you'll recall that we had a pretty interesting report about the sand business.
	And this was in particular for the Maldives.
	And the Maldives were saying, oh, you know, we're dying here.
	We're underwater.
	But it's because they've been selling their sand to everybody.
	And when you dig sand out two or three miles off of the coast, guess what happens?
	It erodes.
	Sand slips from the sandy place, which is what you're living on.
	It slips down in to fill that spot.
	And this report from Deutsche Welle, sadly not an audio report, now reports the coasts of Ghana and Kenya, as well as those as Cape Verde and Zanzibar, are all in trouble because they've been selling sand like crazy.
	40 billion tons of sand are processed worldwide every year.
	40 billion tons.
	40 billion tons.
	And here comes your water.
	Yeah, of course.
	And here, yes, here comes your water.
	And then these African nations, in particular in African nations, turn around and say, well, it's climate change, you need to pay us for it.
	Yeah, give us money.
	They're making money both ways.
	Selling the sand.
	They're smart.
	Yeah.
	Mm-hmm.
	It's annoying.
	We're dumb.
	While you're on the topic of that, you might as well play that.
	This has been going on.
	They've been doing these clips trying to get some attention.
	And I just am stunned.
	I mean, this is borderline tech news, but it's not really.
	Well, you want to do a little tech?
	I mean, I have one.
	No, unless you've got something other than what I've got.
	So we have two stories.
	Let's just say, let's not play the jingle.
	We're not worth the jingle.
	No, it's not worth it.
	Saving the data.
	This kills me every time I hear this story.
	Almost since the day President Trump was sworn in, members of a loosely aligned grassroots movement composed of academics, programmers, researchers and scientists have been archiving government data they fear could disappear.
	Miles O'Brien looks in on one of those efforts for our weekly science series.
	Be amazing.
	The only time data actually was not saved somewhere by some douchebag organization.
	Are you kidding me?
	They didn't go away like that.
	You can't even get rid of it when you try to erase it.
	Hello, IRS.
	Leading edge.
	Excited to see everybody in the room.
	I'm really excited.
	I'm excited!
	It's early, cold, and Saturday.
	And yet this room at New York University is standing room only.
	A few hundred volunteers are here to download and save scientific data created and curated by the federal government.
	Without the data, you don't have environmental leadership.
	Anthropology professor Jerome Whittington is one of the organizers of this data rescue event, the eighth in an ongoing open-ended series which began after the election.
	One of the things we're going to accomplish at this event is we're going to do a lot of work to get hard-to-access data sets, things that previous events have struggled to get.
	They are focused primarily on the essential science used to create environmental regulations.
	They worry the Trump administration's anti-regulatory bent and outright denial of peer-reviewed climate science might put the data in jeopardy.
	Show me some peer-reviewed science instead of consensus and I'll talk to you.
	It's in jeopardy!
	Speaking of that then...
	So this rain in California, this flood, where are we?
	Is it going to be a flood?
	Is the dam going to break?
	What's going on?
	No, the dam looks like it's going to hold up.
	But they've had to release, like, I don't know how much water to get the thing down so it wasn't putting so much pressure on the alternative or on, I think it's the normal spillway, the emergency spillway.
	Which has been dumping shit all over the place.
	It's a mess.
	Because, oh, we didn't think it was ever going to rain so much it would fill this dam up to the top.
	Why don't Californians look at history?
	Are you guys stupid?
	Yeah.
	1861.
	It's not that long ago, for some of us.
	A 43-day storm that started December 1861 put Central and Southern California underwater for six months.
	The difference was the carbon dioxide emissions were well below 300 parts per million.
	And, of course, you didn't have Jerry Brown as a governor, or maybe he did.
	It could have been him.
	66 inches of rain fell in Los Angeles that year, more than four times the normal annual amount, causing rivers to surge over their banks, spreading muddy waters for miles across the arid landscape.
	Large brown lakes formed on the normally dry plains between Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean, even covering vast areas of the Mojave Desert.
	In and around Anaheim, flooding of the Santa Ana River created an inland sea four feet deep, stretching up to four miles from the river, lasting for four weeks.
	So how is this new and climate change?
	It is, man.
	Hey, man.
	All right, here's my little tech news.
	You like that, huh?
	Hey, how are the mudflats?
	Anything going on?
	No, let me look.
	Hold on a second.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	There's only one way to do this.
	Here we go.
	Because of what's happening in Greenland right now, the maps of the world will have to be redrawn.
	Hit it!
	This is what would happen to San Francisco Bay.
	Time for a mudflats report with the one and only John C. Dvorak.
	And this mudflat, I might add, since it's been here since 1880, according to at least an 1880 map somebody sent me to show me that the mudflat was there then, is part of the San Francisco Bay.
	So thus, whatever Al Gore had to say refers to the exact mudflats I'm going to look at right now.
	And yep, they're still there and there's mud to be seen.
	That's right.
	Consensus, 97% of No Agenda hosts agree that climate change is not happening right now.
	But it certainly did happen 150 years ago.
	Just a little bit of history, a historic tip on your No Agenda show.
	I was watching, I did watch a lot of C-SPAN because it's so horrible to watch anything else.
	Now you know it's bad when C-SPAN is enjoyable to me.
	And there was a hearing, and autonomous vehicles came up.
	And one of the experts, who was grilled by Representative Pallone from New Jersey, was Nidhi Kalra from the RAND Corporation.
	And we don't talk about the RAND Corporation a lot, but they are definitely a very important part of the military-industrial intel...
	What did he say?
	Military-Industrial-Intel.
	Access.
	That's it.
	Military-Industrial-Intel-Access.
	And, well, we should be very worried about these autonomous vehicles.
	We're all gonna die?
	Oh, yeah.
	So I just wanted to ask how real is the threat of vehicle hacking, especially in the autonomous context, and do you expect the nature of the threat to evolve as the technology develops?
	It is a very real threat.
	Transportation is one of the areas that receives a lot of attention from hacking because it is a way to disrupt our transportation system.
	So there's a great concern there.
	And cybersecurity is not something that can sort of be shrink-wrapped on top of the vehicle because there's so many parts that contribute to the ultimate vehicle that it has to be baked in from the ground up.
	And it's not only hacking for fun and profit, but autonomous vehicles provide an avenue for terrorism as well, because there's a way to use these vehicles to, you know, the threat is no longer sort of suicide bombers that blow themselves up, but now we have vehicles that can drive around.
	So I don't want to overstate the risk at this time, but we need to think very broadly about cybersecurity not only as a hacking opportunity, but also as a terrorism opportunity.
	We're all gonna die!
	Less than ten minutes to go, okay?
	We're all going to die.
	We're all going to die.
	That was kind of interesting.
	It's true.
	You should be able to load one of these babies up with all the bomb-making stuff you can.
	Get on your little give-it-tell-it-to-go someplace, and then when it gets there to report back, and then you blow it up.
	It's the same with these darn drones everywhere.
	It's the same thing.
	Yeah, those things could be loaded up.
	A C4 would probably be on some of the bigger drones, so you can handle that.
	I got a kick out of...
	I gotta kick it.
	Talk about crappy news reporting.
	Our local station, this is a story about the floods and the rains caused this derailment.
	And so they, this is a train derail story.
	And so they go out and get an interview with somebody and then they change the subject in such an awkward way I had to clip it.
	In Sacramento County, up to 22 train cars derailed and plunged into a flooded river.
	Alan Martin tells us tonight that investigators think they have pinpointed the cause of the crash.
	The mangled mess is sticking out of the Cosumnes River.
	The accident happened near Highway 99 and Dillard Road, south of Elk Grove, at about 1 o'clock this afternoon.
	The Office of Emergency Services said the river started flooding this morning.
	Investigators believe the Union Pacific train derailed after one of the tracks collapsed in all this water.
	When there's ever moving water, one to two inches of water can cause your car to drift.
	So we precaution people not to drive on flooded roadways.
	All aboard!
	Train's good, plane's bad.
	Woo-hoo!
	So you're talking about one thing, and the conclusion is, be careful when you drive through flooded roadways.
	It's got nothing to do with it.
	Was this public television?
	No, no, this was the CBS network.
	Of course, of course.
	Of course it was the CBS network, of course.
	Let me see.
	I think I pretty much have everything.
	When are the Academy Awards coming up, John?
	I think a couple weeks.
	I thought it was now.
	It's coming up.
	It's coming up fast.
	Let me see when it was.
	When is this thing?
	Just for clips, really.
	Just need to know.
	How come it doesn't just say this is when it's going to be on their own website?
	What morons.
	That's the way they do business nowadays.
	I guess.
	See, I have Mattis.
	Now I can hold that.
	You got one more just fun thing to get?
	Yeah, I got a couple of funny ones.
	Yeah, do a couple of fun ones.
	Well, let's do the Russia.
	I think this would be a good one.
	This is the Russian flybys.
	Russian flybys.
	The president has said many times that he would prefer better relations with Russia, but now Moscow is putting that to the test, as David Martin reports from the Pentagon.
	Cruise missiles are a staple of the Russian military arsenal.
	But one particular type, a land-based cruise missile with a range greater than 300 miles, is specifically banned by a treaty signed by Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev in the final years of the Cold War.
	Now U.S. officials say Russia has deployed just such a missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.
	It happened secretly in December during the Obama administration, but it is now up to President Trump to respond to a deployment which U.S. officials say is such a blatant violation that it calls into question the value of future arms control treaties with Russia.
	And just four days ago, an incident similar to last year's buzzing by Russian jets of a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Baltic Sea happened again, this time in the Black Sea.
	First, a Russian patrol plane made a low pass close to the USS Porter.
	Then, two Russian jet fighters, followed a short time later by a third.
	U.S. officials call the flybys unsafe and unprofessional.
	And one more sign the Cold War is back.
	A Russian intelligence ship bristling with antennas to intercept communications is making its way up the east coast of the United States after leaving port in Cuba.
	I love that story.
	President Trump has said he hopes to have better relations with Russia, but Scott, that hope is being rapidly overtaken by events.
	Yeah, sure.
	Thanks, David.
	I was reading about this spy ship.
	I didn't have a chance to get a little deeper into it.
	Do you have any details, any background?
	No, just a typical junker heading back for home.
	Sounds like bullcrap to me.
	No, the whole thing.
	The guy says in the report, the Cold War is back, which harkens back to your great clip from...
	Yes.
	Who says, hey, pay attention to this.
	These guys are just trying to bilk you.
	And they are, and they're pulling it off, and that's CBS, and so that's the number one, that's kind of the spearhead of the whole thing.
	Well, wait until you hear what Rachel Maddow says when it comes to Russia, and in a way, also alternate universes.
	I know it increasingly feels like we're living in an actual episode of The Americans.
	There you go.
	Yeah, she's just pushing it.
	Yeah, just pushing it.
	Just want it to be that way.
	Remember the good old days of press, John, when we had the Russians?
	I hated him.
	There was a Russian.
	February 26th is the Oscars.
	Are we done?
	One more?
	Are we done?
	You got anything to take us out or are we good?
	Yeah, I do have to take this out, which I thought was kind of...
	This is a CBS clip, too, but it was kind of funny.
	This is the Trump, McCain, and Eisenhower clip, which is kind of light.
	Mr.
	Trump's next challenge may be with Republicans in Congress.
	Yesterday, he called Senator John McCain a loser.
	But McCain, as chairman of armed services, will largely decide how much of Mr.
	Trump's military expansion goes through.
	Presidents always struggle against their restraints.
	The last president with no political experience was Dwight Eisenhower.
	Of him, Harry Truman said, he'll say do this, do that, and nothing will happen.
	Poor Ike.
	It won't be a bit like the Army.
	That's for sure.
	All righty.
	A couple of fun little jingles here for the end of show.
	There you go.
	Alrighty.
	So whatever you have, send it to us.
	We always look forward to bringing you the best deconstruction possible.
	That's why we are the best podcast in the universe.
	Walk away feeling sane.
	If not, rinse, repeat.
	It'll work.
	Don't worry.
	There are some people that listen to the show two or three times, which I find interesting.
	Well, yes.
	Well, Tina listens to it twice.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	She asks me questions and stuff.
	She asks me questions.
	You know, in the C block, did you really mean what you said?
	Coming to you from the Crackpot Condo here in the skyscraper downtown Austin, Tejas.
	We are the capital of the drone star state.
	FEMA Region 6 on the map.
	And remember, Dvorak.org slash NA for our Sunday show.
	Until then, in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're between showers, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
	Adios, mofos!
	Donate to a No Agenda.
	They give us shows week after week.
	Donate to a No Agenda.
	It's a show that's really unique.

	Science is turning into a cleave KGB SST KGB SST One, two, three You and me Why we should let all this happen comes from Bill Kristol What's his thing?
	He was a part of Project for New American Century.
	I'd love to be totally honest.
	If things are so bad, as you say, with the white working class, don't you want to get new Americans in?
	Who aren't going to be.
	What the hell?
	Stop.
	What is the logic of that?
	Who really want to work hard and really want to succeed and really want their kids to live a better life.
	Clipping coupons or hoping that they can hang on.
	Who aren't going to be.
	What the hell?
	Stop.
	How do you sell that without the guy who's interviewing you going, you're nuts?
	And I hope this thing isn't being, like, you know, videotaped or ever shown anywhere.
