I should be on MSNBC. Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
And Sunday, February 19th, 2017, this is your award-winning Get My Nation Media assassination episode 905.
This is No Agenda.
From elections to erections, don't drop!
And we're broadcasting live from the darkest corners of the internet here in downtown Austin, Tejas, Cabo the Drone Star State.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's not raining, I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's crackpot and buzzkill in the morning.
Well, since you start off with that weather report...
It's supposed to be raining.
Yeah.
Let me just play you a little weather report from around the world.
Even though there's been high pressure...
Why is it now in mono, stupid idiots?
Eh, let's listen to mono.
Quite a bit in the way of wet weather.
Still some showers bubbling up in some parts of the country.
Northern and eastern parts of the North Island have seen over 100 millimeters of rain.
We've finally got a bit of rain to Christchurch the Port Hills to help a little bit there.
Down south has actually been the place to be for the sunshine.
There you go.
The rain stick worked.
Yeah, I know that, but it's a high, which means it's not supposed to be raining.
I know!
It's not supposed to be raining at all!
Yeah, well...
Apparently it started two hours after the rain stick was deployed.
Yes.
Well, now somebody apparently in South Africa or someplace wants us to drop it.
No, we can't...
You know...
It's going to rain tomorrow here in Texas.
This is the downside of the rain stick.
Right.
We had a bad storm the other night.
Yeah, so I'm sorry.
We basically took one for the team there in Christchurch.
But it seems to be...
Now Auckland is...
No, Australia has brush fires now.
We can't keep saving everybody.
What's-her-name do it?
Okay.
Jilliard, the blowhard.
Okay, all right.
Oh man, I got a lot of multi-parters today for some reason.
Yeah, I got some too.
What do you want?
Oh, fresh in this morning off the transom.
As you know, I told you that Flynn was, not Flynn, but Petraeus was up for the National Security Council gig or National Security Advisor.
And I now understand that he has declined for the same reason the other guy that CBS wanted to get the job.
Yeah.
Because he's not allowed to compose his own team.
Right.
So Petraeus has also declined because of that.
Well, I think they're all going to do that until somebody just says, okay, you can choose your own team.
Who the heck is in there that they care so much about?
Well, I was thinking about this, too.
And then I started remembering, for example, that...
I remember harking back to Poindexter when he was that guy.
And he had Ali North working for him and all these other people.
Apparently they have a staff.
I didn't know that.
I thought it was just a guy.
Hey, how you doing?
What's the light look like today?
Well, I talked to old Clapper over here and he told me things are cool.
Just one guy.
He's a security advisor, but he apparently has a staff.
He wants to hire his own secretaries kind of thing.
Okay.
I don't blame them.
Well, the leaks from the same transom that I'm getting information from, the leaks are apparently from Clapper and the old guys who were there.
Which makes nothing but sense, obviously.
They should throw him in jail.
Yeah, it's about time, liar.
Somebody's got to get thrown in jail here, and I think Clapper would be a good choice.
He already lied before Congress.
Exactly.
It would be perfect to throw him in jail.
Douche.
Perfect.
Let me see.
Well, while we're on Flynn, let me see.
I have a bunch of Flynn stuff.
Yeah, I got this one here.
This is from your neck of the woods, I think.
KCRW? Isn't that out in California somewhere?
Maybe Central Coast?
I'm not sure.
Could be.
This is, well, check this out.
Josh Barrow.
At his bizarre press conference on Thursday, President Trump said he had an outstanding candidate lined up to replace Flint.
But that candidate, retired Vice Admiral Robert Harward, turned down the job Thursday night.
Quotes from sources close to Harward popped up in all sorts of outlets saying Harward turned down the job because the White House refused his demand to control who would staff the National Security Council under him.
One said Harward had called the job offer an excrement sandwich.
Oh, really?
Hmm.
Excrement sandwich.
Yeah, you know, every day it becomes more clear how Fox News has always been run by Democrats.
And amongst this Flynn fracas, which is now, of course, still considered to be just a crate...
Actually, I think...
Don't I have a background around that?
Yeah, here I have.
Hmm...
Let me see.
Actually, I'll do that in a moment.
First, let me play Shepard Smith.
You may have seen this, but he just goes completely full nuts about this whole Flynn thing and the Russia thing.
Treating Jim Acosta over there from CNN. An accomplished reporter, a guy I've never met.
Yeah, you know what?
I am going to play them in a different order.
When we were doing the show on Thursday, we had the big Trump press conference, I guess is kind of what it was, presser.
And, you know, I watched it after the show and I thought it was, you know, the very, very lame that, you know, out of the gate, the president is saying, well, you know, I had more electoral college votes than anybody in the history of mankind, which is I had more electoral college votes than anybody in the history of mankind, And then to say, well, that's what they told me.
Like, oh, man, what a moron.
Yeah.
But here is how the...
And for the rest of the press, it was like, you know, it was a Trump press conference.
I thought it was entertaining, made me laugh, funny things, but when you look at the news coverage, and I put together a little compilation here...
The news coverage about this thing was so off the wall.
Yeah.
I mean, I have the clip, whether you play it or not, but...
It was...
I have a compilation.
Trump tells Jew to shut up and sit down.
Wait a minute, I want to hear that one.
First, let's get the backgrounder of all the craziness.
The president holds a raucous and combative face-off...
With the media.
That news conference was both totally shocking and entirely unsurprising.
This was a rare glimpse into the mind of the president, basically the verbal equivalent of a tweet storm.
A freewheeling, at times jaw-dropping, 77-minute news conference.
President Trump defiantly dismissed the flood of controversies and crises engulfing his White House.
The president defends his first month in office in a fiery face-off with the press.
President Trump unfiltered 77 minutes.
His critics said he was unhinged.
The goal of the press conference for the president to advance his campaign to delegitimize the mainstream media.
President Trump's first solo news conference at the White House was an unprecedented display of accusations and exaggerations.
The president's outburst of frustration left many observers bewildered.
President Trump flatly denied the notion that he's running a disorganized and ineffective White House.
That's just a small compilation of all the crazy that came by.
What is this?
Where's this clip from?
The Jew clip that you have?
Yeah, this is the...
Let's see if I have it.
I have the clip.
I have the clip.
I just don't know what the setup is.
It's right from the news conference.
It's the Trump versus the Jew.
And...
I want to remind people that when you listen, this is the classic, you know, back and forth that Trump will do.
And he mostly berates the guy for not asking a simple question.
I guess the guy, I didn't hear this, but I guess the guy says, I'm going to say a simple question, simple question.
And he does tell the guy to sit down because he says, OK, I get your question.
You can sit down now.
And then later, you know, he goes and moves on to somebody else.
But The way the press presented it was, Trump tells Jew to shut up and sit down.
Wait, let's see.
I want to find a friendly reporter.
Are you a friendly reporter?
I'm friendly.
Watch how friendly he is.
Wait, wait.
Watch how friendly he is.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
So, first of all, my name is Dick Kirk from Army Magazine, and despite what some of my colleagues may have been reporting, I haven't seen anybody in my community accuse either yourself or anyone on your staff of being anti-Semitic.
We understand that you have your grandchildren, you are their same.
Thank you.
What we are concerned about, and what we haven't really heard being addressed, is an update in how the government is planning to take care of it.
There's been a report out that 48 bomb threats have been made against Jewish centers all across the country.
What is he actually asking?
It's a little hard for me to comprehend.
Well, okay.
I want to hear the payoff.
You'd think that they would at least mic him.
They have three mics floating around.
Thank you for bringing that up.
Who is in charge of audio at the White House?
You suck.
You suck.
Yeah, they should fire them.
You suck.
The guy's asking, he says, I don't...
The thing is, it's kind of a complimentary question, and Trump, I don't think, could hear him.
Well, there you go.
Fire these guys.
This is so good for our show.
Trump just made some assumptions that he was being accused of something when the guy was...
The guy says...
There's nobody I know of that have ever accused you or anybody in your administration for being anti-Semitic.
But there's an anti-Semitic trend going on, this is my gist of it, going on in this country, and there's been 48 synagogues threatened with being bombed.
Okay.
Have you, do you have any, and then Trump, I don't think, heard a word of this.
And this goes off on his merry way, but it was nothing like it was described.
I mean, actually, if you described it the way I described it, it's more of an indictment than the way the media described it, because Trump didn't hear the guy, didn't understand what he was talking about, and went off on his merry way about something else.
...the last couple of weeks, there are people who are committing anti-committed acts or threatening to...
You see, he said he's going to ask a very simple, easy question.
And it's not.
It's not.
Not a simple question.
Not a fair question.
Okay, sit down.
I understand the rest of your question.
So here's the story, folks.
Number one, I am the least anti-Semitic person.
I'm the best of the Jew haters.
I'm the least Jew hater you can imagine.
I am the least...
Anti-Semitic person that you've ever seen.
I mean, there's always a little, right?
Come on.
I mean, everyone's got a little anti-Semitic in the movie, but at least he's the least of them all.
Sit down, Jew.
Anti-Semitic person that you've ever seen in your entire life.
Number two.
Racism.
The least racist person.
In fact, we did very well.
With racism.
We did pretty good with our racism this year.
The quota was down.
I would have to other people running as a Republican.
Quiet, quiet.
Quiet, Jew.
Shut up, woman.
Quiet.
See, he lied about...
He was going to get up and ask a very straight, simple question.
So, you know, welcome to the world of the media.
But let me just tell you something.
That...
Oh, man.
Wait, wait.
He should play this after each of his press conferences.
That's right.
He's got a complicated question.
That's right.
He's got to be one of those.
Man, it's a shape-shifting Jew.
I'm the least anti-Semitic.
You got anti-Semitic, but I'm the least of all because I like my shape-shifting Jews.
All right.
Now, the point is that the media said Tried to humiliate Trump with the way he told the Jew to shut up and sit down, which is pretty much the only conclusion.
What he actually did was far worse, I thought.
He didn't take the question.
He didn't hear the question, thanks to the micing.
He didn't know what the guy was talking about.
Then he rambled off on his own thing.
That is actually more interesting than the lie.
And I have to say it, the media lies.
They don't even do their job.
I know.
Well, something has to be done about the audio.
This has been bothering me for a while.
They used to have shotgun mics and it was done well.
Now I see...
Ways of doing it.
I see reporters fumbling with three, four microphones at the same time.
What is going on?
Who's in charge of technical ops?
There should be.
And I don't get the impression that there's much of a pool going on, either.
In the olden days, the olden days, like recently, they have a pool.
And so all the feeds go into the one console, and you want to get a copy of it.
You stick your stuff in there, and you can record off of it.
Right.
Or you just take the tape that they give you afterwards, a tape, whatever it is, a USB plug, I don't know.
It looks like maybe everyone's doing their own thing.
That's what it looks like to me.
Yeah, they all got the little, they got Zooms and they got their phones and they're sticking these things here and there and there's no consolidated way of getting this stuff.
Yeah, I think we should...
And so you end up with a lot of bad information.
We should open a petition on wethepeople.gov.
We need better mics.
Yep.
That's been so effective so far.
So along these lines, even on Fox News, Shep Smith was freaking out.
Treating Jim Acosta over there from CNN, an accomplished reporter, a guy I've never met, but a good reporter.
I mean, treating him like he's...
I'm not even going to use the word.
I'm not going to give Twitter the love it needs.
It's crazy what we're watching every day.
It's absolutely crazy.
He keeps repeating ridiculous throwaway lines that are not true at all and sort of avoiding this issue of Russia as if we're some kind of fools for asking the question.
Really?
Your opposition was hacked and the Russians were responsible for it and your people were on the phone with Russia on the same day it was happening and we're fools for asking the questions?
No, sir.
We are not fools for asking this question, and we demand to know the answer to this question.
Now, when Shep puts it that way, if that's how he has received the information, then I understand the outrage.
I don't think his information is correct.
But he believes that this happened.
Well, yeah, then you're outraged, of course.
The position was hacked, and the Russians were responsible for it, and your people were on the phone with Russia on the same day it was happening, and we're fools for asking the questions?
No, sir.
We are not fools for asking these questions, and we demand to know the answer to this question.
The question's been answered.
American people, your supporters will support you either way.
If your people were on the phone with her, what were they saying?
We have a right to know.
We absolutely do.
You call us fake news and put us down like children for asking these questions on behalf of the American people.
It's inconsequential.
The people deserve that answer, at the very least.
I've got to make a mention here.
This is obviously something that would be unacceptable during the Roger Ailes era.
Of course.
This has all changed.
Shep is looking for work.
And he's sick of working at Fox.
Bing, bing, bing, baby.
You nailed it.
And he's now aligning himself with the other side of this, you know, with the reporters.
And he wants to say, look, I'm with you guys.
I'm with you guys.
And look, I can be critical.
Can I get a job someplace else?
I've got a good face and I've got a nice voice.
I'm gay.
I'm gay.
Hello, I'm gay.
I should be on MSNBC. Well, the president was, of course, very funny.
To me, at least, he was very funny when he was talking about the fake news.
Tomorrow they will say, Donald Trump rants and raves at the press.
I'm not ranting and raving.
I'm just telling you, you're dishonest people.
But, but, I'm not ranting and raving.
I love this.
I'm having a good time doing it.
But tomorrow the headlines are going to be, Donald Trump rants and raves.
There were some of those headlines, to be honest.
I'm not ranting.
Go ahead.
Should I let him have a little bit more?
What do you think, Peter?
Peter, should I let him have a little bit more?
Sit down.
Sit down.
Just because of the attack of fake news and attacking our network, I just want to ask you, sir.
I'm changing it from fake news, though.
Doesn't that under...
Very fake news.
Fake, fake, fake.
Fake, fake, fake.
You are fake news.
Very fake news.
I thought it was funny.
I'm changing it from fake news to very fake news.
I got a couple.
I got to get this in.
Okay.
This is about, it's kind of the same topic.
This is David Brooks, my favorite phony baloney on PBS. So I'm going to play, this is a one point, a one and a quarter minutes, one minute, I guess, no, it's 15 seconds.
Yeah, which is a quarter.
One and a quarter minutes of trying to say the word yes.
David, you started out with some pretty strong language describing the news conference.
I wrote down, you said he came across, the president came across as mildly deranged.
Did you really mean that?
I'll walk that back a little unmoored.
Is that walking it back?
I don't know.
It was, you know, if we were not—it's just he's not, coherently speaking, as a president should, who's going to be carefully giving orders, who's going to be uniting the American people.
He is speaking as someone who's involved in a junior high school gladiatorial attack on the press.
And parts were bizarre and somewhat offensive, picking on an African-American reporter and assuming she knew people in the Congressional Black Caucus, because I guess all African-American people are supposed to know each other.
You know, that offensive.
But then the attack on the press, highlighted by the tweets today, saying, my newspaper, NBC, all these organizations are enemies of the people.
Well, if you want to draw rhetoric straight out of the fascist playbook...
Enemies of the Voke, the people, that has so many historical echoes.
God, he's another Hitlerism.
He's being an enemy of the Voke.
He's the one who's unhinged.
Yeah, enemy of the Voke.
She asked him a yes and no question, and this is what his response is.
Well, if you want to draw rhetoric straight out of the fascist playbook, enemies of the Vogue people, that is like that has so many historical echoes.
It's it's illiberal and offensive to the way democracy is supposed to work and how one is supposed to just act within the institutions of democracy.
So within that context, I think some strong language to me is merited.
So he finally gets to the point of saying some strong language is merited.
Yeah.
Which means this is yes.
He said yes.
Yes.
To a question he could have said yes to a minute and 15 seconds earlier.
Yeah, but he had to get the Trump is insane in there and Hitler.
By the way, regarding Trump is insane, I didn't have time to clip because he did do an interview, but I can read from the transcript.
The guy who, I think he's now a retired Duke professor, who was responsible for the entry of narcissistic personality disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4...
He says, please, stop calling Trump mentally ill with narcissistic personality disorder.
He says, just because he has some narcissistic traits does not mean that he suffers from this disorder, and as far as this guy can tell, he doesn't.
That is worth mentioning.
And he also said he's definitely not mentally ill.
But that's okay.
This is much more fun to watch these guys freak out.
Hell yeah!
Listen to the Morning Joes who are so angry about Trump and this, you know, the Russia connection.
And for some reason, calling out Wall Street Journal.
Is there a war on now?
Is this a Murdoch war?
Murdoch owns Wall Street Journal, I believe, right?
Yeah, I don't think so.
But I think it's pretty hands-off.
What's happened with the Wall Street Journal is one of the editors told his reporters to back off a little bit on the way they're presenting things.
Ah, okay.
Phraseology, and it's because it's all the same.
It's lockstep with the rest of the media.
And I think this has created some sort of a schism.
Yes, a rift.
And the Morning Joes are not happy.
He's trying to delegitimize the press.
The press has risen up over the past couple weeks.
And as I always say, don't fight the press.
The press always wins.
Ask Richard Nixon.
The press always wins.
There is no doubt the Wall Street Journal has gone from being the most hostile conservative.
Maybe he shouldn't just gloss over his pounding of the table there with the press always wins.
That, I believe, is pretty much how they feel about themselves.
They always win.
There is no doubt the Wall Street Journal has gone from being the most hostile conservative voice towards Donald Trump during the campaign to certainly now seeming to bend over backwards to actually parrot much of what the administration puts out.
David, were you concerned yesterday, the lead editorial for the Wall Street Journal did not even mention any concerns about improper contacts that Michael Flynn had with Russia, but instead their editorial focused solely on On leaks, it was as if Donald Trump had written the editorial himself.
Joe, it was an editorial.
It's not the editorial position that I would have written.
I don't agree with it.
But I think the argument this is about leaks as opposed to the behavior of our public officials is wrong.
But it's an editorial.
But David Ignatius, look at the headline today.
Again, this is sort of what we do.
We look at media and we pound the New York Times.
Hey, they're harping on our turf, John.
They look at media.
This is sort of what we do.
Go out.
Go away.
We pound the New York Times all the time.
Instead of talking about Flynn, yesterday their lead editorial, Wall Street Journal, the editorial page that I've read my entire life.
Oh, horrific.
They say nothing to see here with Flynn.
Forget the improper ties.
Forget the lying.
Forget everything else.
We ought to look at the leaks.
Yeah.
Joe's mad.
This is not what we're supposed to be talking about.
I don't understand what his problem is.
I don't know either.
Let's listen to some of this.
Let's go to the CBS, the CIA broadcasting system.
Yes, sir.
And get the skinny on this because they do a smear on...
It's all Flynn again.
They figure they got him down.
He's down.
He's out.
Kick him.
Kick him.
So this is the...
Flynn, no charge, smear one.
Oh, I can't wait.
Now, Michael Flynn was fired when it became clear that he lied to the...
Fire!
It's also this fire thing.
I think he was asked for his...
It's a technicality, but it does show...
Technically...
His language, words matter.
Yeah, technically, he resigned.
You know, if I got together, you were working together, I said, you know, Adam, you've been a good employee...
A bunch of things have come up, and you know what they are.
How do you want to handle this?
You're going to have to go, but do you want to quit?
Do you want to just resign?
Yeah, I'd like to release a statement that I'm pursuing projects outside the organization, please.
That sounds perfect.
We'll just go with that.
Now, Michael Flynn was fired when it became clear that he lied to the vice president about contacts he'd had with Russia's ambassador to the U.S. Flynn had talked to the ambassador about U.S. sanctions against Russia before Mr.
Trump was inaugurated, a potential violation of the law.
Jeff Begay has the new developments.
Law enforcement sources tell CBS News it is unlikely former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn will face...
Wait a minute, what'd they say there?
What?
Let me go again.
Law enforcement sources tell CBS News it is unlikely former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn will face charges in connection to his discussions of U.S. sanctions with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. In late December, routine surveillance of Russian officials and operatives picked up Flynn's voice on a call with Sergei Kislyak.
Sources say transcripts show the two discussed Obama administration sanctions on Russia, a possible violation of federal law since President Trump was not yet in office.
In the early days...
Can we get these transcripts already?
This is really bothering me.
Can I also ask something?
Isn't what we're always talking about with this guy, what happened, it was a couple days before Trump would be in office, a technicality?
Of course it's a technicality.
Wait two days, have the same conversation, it's okay?
Yeah.
Wait two days, have the same conversation, it's okay.
So we're talking about a technicality.
Well, I figured out why this is all taking place.
It...
This is back to the 25th Amendment.
I now know what's going on, why this is all because of Article 4 of the 25th Amendment.
Okay, let me get through this package and then you can go on.
Okay, you want to bring it in now?
No, we'll bring it in a minute.
It's okay.
Okay, now, is this clip over?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's just getting good.
In the early days of the Trump administration, Flynn was interviewed by FBI agents about the call.
He also told Vice President Mike Pence that he did not discuss sanctions with Kislyak, a claim the vice president repeated on television.
They did not discuss anything having to do with But investigators say that despite misleading the vice president, there is not enough evidence to charge him with lying to the FBI. What?
What?
Well, that doesn't matter.
That should be the end of the report, I presume.
There's no follow-up.
That's it.
No harm, no follow-up.
Well, there's a little more.
There's a little more.
But before we go to that, because what you just heard, I think, summarizes things.
And if anybody wants to recall why he was fired, it's because he supposedly discussed this with Pence, and he didn't tell Pence everything he needed to know, so he couldn't be trusted.
And so, you know, it was a casual call.
But that's not really what's going on because we can find out by listening to how this evolved into what the left, the mainstream left entertainment elites, how they believe this is going down.
And now listen to this.
This is Bill Maher in the last show.
Maher gets serious.
Just play that.
And as usual, you know, there's the circus that happens every week, the distractions that take us away from knowing what's really important, which is there is an unprecedented state of crisis in this country.
There is.
The National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn, Yes.
Did he set it all up?
Was it he's complicit to get rid of his loans?
He never did.
No, then he went into some jokes.
But he he believes that this is the most serious crisis in the history of the country.
And by the way, the FBI is not doing anything about it.
But somehow it's the most serious crisis in the history of the country.
And these people are there with their jaws.
Oh, no.
What are we going to do?
It's the most serious crisis in the history of the country.
Nobody in his audience, his or any place else for that matter, even knows what the National Security Advisor, some guy that works inside the White House, what he even does.
Yeah, and Flynn's not going away, he's just not getting that title.
Right.
That's a funny thing.
Might as well go to the rest of the Flynn smear part two of CBS. Flynn has also not been cleared in the broader investigation into whether he and others in the Trump campaign were in regular contact with Russian officials during the election.
The U.S. intelligence community has concluded that Russia carried out cyber attacks on Democratic Party officials designed to undermine Hillary Clinton.
What?
No, nobody that I know of.
Yesterday, the president denied he or any of his aides were involved.
I have nothing to do with Russia.
Haven't made a phone call to Russia in years.
Today, members of the Senate Intelligence Committee were briefed on the investigation by FBI Director James Comey.
Scott's sources say getting to the end of this investigation won't be a sprint, it's a marathon, and there is still a ways to go.
Jeff Begay's for us.
Jeff, thank you.
Ah, yes.
We still have to figure it out.
We know there's proof somewhere.
The key in there was it's gone from the Russians hacked the DNC and John Podesta, who had a password that was password.
Pretty much.
It's gone from that to cyber attacks on all the Democrats.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Listen to what he said in there.
He said there was...
I know.
What happens is what we always identify.
It doesn't matter how many times the truth has been laid out.
What the message was, what was pushed, is what...
I mean, history is rewritten.
Is what Bill Maher said.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
The message that was pushed is what Bill Maher believes.
Yes.
Yes.
McCain, of course, is extremely active in everything that's going on, and I'm sure we'll have a number of clips from him today.
Here he was with Chuck Tuck on Meet the Press Daily about President Trump trying to Bring down the First Amendment.
It's Chuck Tuck.
I like it.
Bring down the First Amendment, you know, the freedom of the press.
To a tweet that the president sent Friday night, the fake news media, failing New York Times, NBC News, ABC, CBS, CNN is not my enemy.
It is the enemy of the American people.
Do you believe the press is the enemy?
Do you believe any group of Americans are the enemy of another group of Americans?
I was talking about the period, as you know, of the New World Order.
A fundamental part of that New World Order was a free press.
I hate the press.
I hate you, especially.
But the fact is, we need you.
We need a free press.
We must have it.
That was one of the best lines he's delivered since I've been doing this show.
I hate the press.
I hate you.
It's vital.
If you want to preserve...
I'm very serious now.
If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press.
And without it, I'm afraid that we would lose...
So much of our individual liberties over time.
That's how dictators get started.
Oh, okay.
That's how dictators get started with tweets like that?
With, no.
Yes, I think Mussolini started his dictatorship with the tweets and...
A couple of tweets and he was in.
A couple of Instagram posts and he was good to go.
That's how dictators get started.
That's how dictators get started with tweets like that?
No, they get started by suppressing a free press.
In other words, consolidation of power, when you look at history, the first thing that dictators do is shut down the press.
And I'm not saying that President Trump is trying to be a dictator.
I'm just saying we need to learn the lessons of history.
Senator McCain, I'm going to leave it there.
You are a student of history, that's for sure.
I always appreciate you sharing your views, no matter how much you hate me.
That's all right.
Thanks, Jeff.
That laugh of his?
Yeah, it's kind of creepy.
I tried to slow it down.
Yeah, it's a fake laugh.
It didn't really do anything.
I can do it.
Yeah, so there's McCain openly talking about the New World Order.
The balance in the New World Order has been disrupted by Donald Trump.
Well, isn't that special?
Before we continue...
That's what he said.
I was kind of taken aback by that.
So he's all in with the New World Order, it sounds like.
Well, I'm sure we'll be playing bits from his Munich Security Conference later.
I got the one.
But before that, I want to circle back to the 25th Amendment with ousted...
But to be clear, I just want to make the point here, others are using that word, and you're purposely not using it, which I want to make it clear, you're not comfortable using that word or even talking about it at this time, right?
Yeah.
No, I mean, I think we don't call for impeachment until you have an independent bipartisan investigation and we can get to the bottom of the possibility of high crimes and misdemeanors being committed, collusion between a presidential campaign and a foreign enemy, essentially, who was found by our own united intelligence community who has intentionally and successfully Put their thumb on the scale and helped elect Donald Trump as President of the United States.
So here's what the 25th Amendment bullcrap is about.
It's about Article 4.
This is a stretch, but now I understand why people are talking about it.
Article 4 of the 25th Amendment.
Whenever the vice president and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the president pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the vice transmit to the president pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the president is
So because there's, of course, no way that the Democrats can get articles of impeachment through Congress and the Senate just because of the numbers, I guess they're hoping on coming up with some way of drugging Pence into admitting that Donald Trump is unfit.
And then they'd get a whole bunch of other Congress people and senators and then they could start the impeachment process.
That is what is happening, and it's quite, quite pathetic.
Yeah.
Well, here's the way.
I'm going to give you a different scenario.
All right.
Because Pence isn't going to do that because he's a good guy, soldier.
Yeah.
And he's going to go along with whatever Trump is doing because that's just the way it is.
The Democrats are going to do the following.
They're going to just keep this up against Trump.
This means the Democrats, which includes the media, which are all Democrats.
And there's no reason to even argue that, that they're not.
What they're going to do is they're going to keep this up for about two years in hopes.
In hopes.
I don't know if it's going to be successful or not because there's evidence that it might not be.
They're going to hope Trump will quit?
Is this what they know?
Well, now that would be something they may suggest and I can make him some more money.
But they're going to hope that they can get the House Which is not going to happen, but they can hope for it.
And the Senate.
They can get the Senate back, because the Senate's always teetering on going either Republican or Democrat.
The Senate is rarely Republican.
So if they can get the House and the Senate back, then they can just go ahead.
They'll have the numbers, and they'll have the public behind them, because they'll be slamming Trump for two solid years with false accusations.
And just all kinds of just...
It's in chaos.
Chaos.
Chaos.
Chaos is the word.
Yes.
Chaos is the word.
Chaos.
And so there'll be some sympathy for this, and then they're going to get him out.
But the irony to this, and I pointed this out to Mimi because she's getting nothing but grief on it because she can't stand Facebook anymore because all it is are these whiners that are just, oh, I'm going to shoot myself if I have to go for another week of the Trump administration.
And Mimi's out there handing out the firearms?
Is that what she's up to?
No, she's trying to avoid the arguments.
So here's what's going to happen.
Here's the great irony.
If you want to see something, you want to see a fascist dictatorship, you want to see problems, you want to see, actually Mimi decided this would be the beginning of the new crusades, you would get...
Pence as the president.
Pence is a dominionist.
It looks like he's a dominionist.
Everybody thinks he's a dominionist.
What is a dominionist, please?
A dominionist is an end-times Christian evangelical who believes that the apocalypse should be expedited.
So that's a bit like Jehovah's Witnesses.
Worse.
And so George Bush was borderline dominionist, but he was bad enough.
And you Democrats out there didn't like George Bush.
Wait until you see Mike Pence.
And here's the irony about Mike Pence.
If Trump gets impeached into his third year and Pence takes over because it's less than half a term, Pence can run two more times and be the president for the next decade.
So if you guys want a dominionist evangelical Christian in the White House for 10 years, then be my guest.
This would be great for the show.
Hey, that is our ticket.
That's our ticket to retirement.
It is.
You know why it's our ticket to retirement.
Because it's not looking good with the depression jobs, John.
I'm always looking for depression signals ever since we started with the mac and cheese.
You started with the mac and cheese.
What else have we come up with?
Bugs.
Eating bugs.
Eating bugs.
Coloring books.
Food trucks.
Food trucks.
Well, there's something new.
This was on CNBC. Of course, weekend programming, but CNBC, Carrie Hannon, who's a personal finance guru, and she has advice for what's coming up if you're over 55, which I'm on the way to that.
What is there for us?
Nothing.
Well, podcasting is about the only thing I can think of.
If you are a mid- or late-career worker, you might be starting to think about your next move.
You say that there are some steps people can take to try and figure out what they want to do when they retire.
What are those steps?
Who's retiring anymore?
Who has money to retire?
Raise your hand without talking.
You know, absolutely.
First of all, give yourself as much time as you can to prepare for what you might want to do in retirement as a job.
Moonlight.
If you can in a practice, that's a great idea.
Moonlight.
John, what a great idea.
We shouldn't be moonlighting.
Who try it just so they're not jumping into something blindly.
Are there some unusual jobs that you think are perfect for retirees?
Here we go.
Well, I like to look at two segments.
They're jobs, the ride, the age wave.
These are ones that kind of people in their 60s, 50s, and 60s can do.
Pay attention, John.
This is what we can do.
Donations, if they go down, here's where we're headed.
For 70s and 80s.
And then there are also ones that really look at ways that you can tap into some of the growing fields.
So number one, I love, what about wheelchair repair?
Some people are great at tinkering.
John, I think we could open up Curry Dvorak Wheelchair Repair Company.
It gets better.
There's lots of jobs to repair gurneys and wheelchairs and all kinds of things for medical supplies out there.
Another fun one is, again, using a natural talent, is voiceover artist.
Whoa!
I wasn't far off with my podcast, was I? Oh, brother.
Voiceover artist.
There are opportunities out there to do that.
Hold on a second.
Stop.
You, who are a professional voice, can get voiceover work.
You can't even get voiceover work.
So just some schmo?
Give me a break.
I think she should have said webcam work.
I think there's a future in that for plus 55s.
Definitely.
Definitely.
Oh, man.
So yesterday, even more entertaining than the press conference, I thought, was the president's appearance in Melbourne, Florida.
Yeah, it was a rally, basically.
Yeah, he's decided.
He says, I'm going to go do a rally.
Why not?
This is how he's going to fight the media.
He's just going to be blasphemous.
He's just going to go do what he did when he ran.
He's just going to talk to these huge audiences.
Go around everybody.
Now, what was super fun about this, and different from the campaign, was he brought some super-duper fan up on stage.
He used to always bring somebody up.
Yes, but what was different is the Secret Service were flipping out.
Trump said, let him come up.
It's okay, don't worry about it.
And they're freaking out.
They're frisking this guy.
Just nuts.
Never seen this before.
Oh, wow.
And here's a little bit from the guy on stage with President Trump.
Say a couple of words to this crowd.
Mr.
President, thank you, sir.
We the people, our movement is the reason why our president of the United States is standing here in front of us today.
As the president leans over, whispers something in his ear.
President Trump, during the election, promised all these things that he was going to do for us.
I knew he was going to do this for us.
All right.
Woo!
And Trump has no one else.
What does he say?
A star is born.
Exactly.
A star is born.
Beautiful.
A star is born.
So this guy, Gene Huber, of course the mainstream media went straight for this guy and raped him, just abused him.
Because the guy, I'd say he's 90%.
You know, he's one of these super fans.
And these people function.
I know them.
Function perfect.
But you talk to them like, hmm, you're a little overzealous.
Just a tad.
So, of course, CNN's going to get this guy on and we'll have a good laugh with this guy.
So what did he whisper in your ear?
So I have to ask you, there was a moment there where he sort of whispered something into your ear.
What did he say?
You know, oh, he said, he goes, you're great, is what he told me.
If I'm not mistaken, he said, you are great.
And because he saw me, because I was the first one online.
I got here at four in the morning.
So I got a lot of interviews from news people.
So President Trump must have seen me on TV.
So, and I told the reporter that I love President Trump.
And President Trump heard me say that.
And he told me that on stage.
He said that he loves me, and I do, with all my heart, because he fights for us each and every second.
He didn't have to do this for us.
He's 70 years old, a billionaire, beautiful family, and this man comes out and works harder than anyone I've ever seen in my life.
And that's why he's a winner.
Yeah.
Alright, so we have to continue.
Can't have that.
Get that guy off.
No, no, let's see if we can get the guy to say something crazy.
What do you want to say to President Trump?
Yeah, that's how we go.
That's how we go.
So it's clear he saw you on television giving interviews.
If he is watching right now, which he very well may, what would you want to say to him?
To President Trump?
I would just say, President Trump, I want to thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to come on stage like that.
Mr.
President, I've been with you for two years.
You've probably heard this.
Every single second, every day, I'm with you.
I got a six-foot cardboard box of President Trump in my house.
And I salute that every single day.
And I pray and tell him, Mr.
President, I pray for your safety today.
And I'm not lying.
I do that every single day to the president, but it's cardboard.
The cardboard.
Now, if I'm the reporter, and let's say I'm all in with the other side, on the other universe, which I've got some clips about that day, too.
All right, good.
I'm saying, well, yeah.
Well, it's interesting you do that because, you know, during the era of Mussolini, the public did that often.
That's, yes.
That's what I would have said.
We can do so much.
What is wrong with these people if you're going to be, if you're going to go all the way?
No.
So what happens is instead of going all the way, then this poor little CNN prostitute is going to be nasty after the guy has already signed off.
Oh, that's bad.
Oh, yes.
And left with his message.
Gene Huber, clearly you are a big supporter of President Trump.
She's like, oh, clearly you're a moron.
You're a little retarded, so we're going to speak all nice to you.
You're clearly a big supporter.
Hypocrite.
Gene Huber, clearly you are a big supporter of President Trump.
And like you said, this is a moment today that you will never forget being invited on stage by the president to say a few words.
Thank you so much, Gene, for coming on and talking to us.
We do appreciate it.
And can I just say one quick thing?
Quickly.
Ma'am?
Yeah, very quick.
I appreciate the interview.
Let's just be a little, little nicer to our president.
Thank you so much.
I was waiting for a comment like that from a Trump supporter considering he calls us fake news.
Thank you so much, Gene Huber.
The next hour of news.
I was waiting for that.
What a douche.
She just couldn't say goodbye.
No.
No, of course not.
That's a good one.
Yeah.
I admire you to put that whole...
That's a package.
Yeah, that's a package.
That's how it's done.
That's a package, ladies and gentlemen, right there.
Daddy's got the thing over here.
Take a look at my package.
Boom!
Puts them together.
Take a look at this package I got here, man.
I got a package for you.
Oh.
Let me see.
Okay, let me get back to this train of thought that I was...
Okay, yeah, please.
Let's go back on this other thing that we had, the Bill Maher.
First we had the CBS report, then we had the Bill Maher report, which was in between.
And then we have another example of how this goes on the lesser media outlets.
This is Chris Hayes, and they're talking to this guy.
His name is Vance something.
Vance, I think is his last name.
He's a black writer.
Oh, no, no, no.
This is Nance.
I've got clips of this guy.
This guy is the former NSA douche.
Yeah.
Oh, okay, good.
I'm glad you're setting this up because then I'll come in.
This clip is the Flynn spy guard, Chris Hayes smear.
Yes.
Which means that he has a loyal, trusted FSB or ex-KGB officer on his staff whose job it is to make sure that everybody does what Putin wants.
Certainly you can't be an oligarch in Russia without them.
But if these people were in constant contact with, you know, people from Russia all the time, reporting back and forth, you know, they wouldn't have had, you know, and they were innocent, they wouldn't have a FISA warrant going on right now.
They would not have, and it's not just wiretaps, this is the awesome collection power of the National Security Agency and all of our allies, which means we can now Handle any information we get on someone who we believe is in communications with a Russian intelligence spy, right?
Right.
So here's the remarkable thing, too, about the specifics of the Flynn intercept, right, which is with the ambassador.
I mean, what would the chain of custody of a transcript like that be like?
It is remarkable to me that in some ways it's gotten out.
I mean, this is a piece of political dynamite in some ways.
Yeah.
Who would have access to that kind of thing?
That's an excellent question.
But you have to understand that when General Flynn communicated with Ambassador Kislyak, this was under the purview of the FBI and the national counterintelligence officers who were there, who were designed to monitor the communications of our enemies within the United States and possibly any American citizen who decides they want to talk to the Russians for defective or something like that.
This is sort of like spy guard.
Yeah, it is spy guard.
General Flynn should have known that.
Own force monitoring is a fact of life for anyone who gives consent to use any U.S. government telephone systems or who is an employee of the United States government.
This happens all the time.
Now, before you go any further, John, just a moment about this guy.
I watched the Milo appearance on Bill Maher.
We don't have to play it at this very moment.
I'll circle back to it because I know you're on the track here.
But the most interesting thing about that entire broadcast was this guy, this Malcolm Nance, former NSA spy.
He has quite an impressive resume.
And he has a book out right now, as he was promoting on Bill Maher's show, about the hacking of the election.
I mean, this is obviously a shill.
Yeah, obviously!
And he's all over MSNBC. This is from a couple weeks ago, and then I'll get you back to yours.
My question to you, Malcolm, is how could it be possible that Michael Flynn, who was former head of DIA, would not know that his conversations with the Russian ambassador were being monitored?
Because he's an idiot!
Well, I think with regards to the telephone call to Ambassador...
Or maybe because he didn't say anything wrong.
It's just a matter of arrogance.
I think when they took control of the White House through the transition, they just didn't feel that anyone was going to do anything about their decision-making capacity.
He just made these calls and thought he was cutting the deals that he was cutting.
But stepping back to the New York Times article really quickly here, because as you know, I predicted all of this was going to happen seven months ago.
Really?
Oh, I wasn't able to find that, by the way.
Even the Kislyak call?
I guess so.
And that this is what NSA and the FBI were doing all of this time.
Really?
I thought they were working on Pizzagate.
I don't get it.
It comes out to play because, you know, as I know, I worked at NSA. And, you know, this is not just our effort.
We have allied intelligence agencies that give us cues and tips as to criminality or...
Cues and tips, John.
Cues and tips.
We have allied intelligence agencies that give us cues and tips as to criminality or potential problems that are going on with American citizens.
And then that manifested itself as early as last August and September.
This is very, very serious stuff.
The FISA warrant authorized the NSA to turn on the full collection power of the United States, and there is nothing that will escape that.
These people need to start getting lawyers and cutting deals, because when we have both sides of the conversation, you are going to get caught.
So who's supposed to get lawyers?
We already heard on the CBS report, which was the mouthpiece of the CIA, That they're not going to file charges against Flynn.
Well, I don't know what this guy's mission is.
So what are they talking about?
Now I know what he's talking about.
He's talking about this other bull crap that they're in constant contact with the Russians throughout the campaign.
Now I'll tell a story that is secondhand, but I'm going to mention it.
We talked about it after the show because I forgot to talk about it during the show, which is the And this guy's waving around the Pfizer thing, and we got all this power, and we can get all these details from people, even though we can't stop anything, but that's okay, we got all these powers.
This guy's very dramatic, this Nance.
Yes.
So, here's what, Mike, it's not Savage, it's the other guy, the great one.
Levin.
Mark Levin.
The great one, Mark Levin!
Mark Levin has a friend who is a security guy, he's got a lot of insight and information and stuff that apparently everyone should be reporting on but that nobody is, which is that the Obama administration, according to this character, had tried to get a FISA warrant to listen and tap into everything that Donald Trump was doing during the election.
Yeah.
The FISA court, and this could be looked up, and I haven't got it.
Surely they said no, I would presume.
They said no.
They said this is too flimsy.
What do you got on this guy?
Well, he said good things about Putin, so he must be doing something bad.
And so they said no.
So apparently a few months went by, and they decided to narrow the FISA request down to two people.
Let me guess.
Flynn and Bannon.
Wrong.
Manafort and Stone.
Because Manafort was doing business in Ukraine.
They figured there may be some shady business with him.
And that's about the time he quit the election campaign.
Probably somebody said, hey, you're being listened to.
Yeah, you really need to go.
And then Roger Stone, of course, who's nothing more than a dirty trickster.
Yeah.
I think he was a protege of Donald Segretti during that era of the Nixons, the Nixon era when they had these dirty tricks going on with Dick Tuck, which people should look up on Wikipedia, and Donald Segretti, who was Nixon's counter guy for the dirty trickster of Dick Tuck.
And that's where Stone comes from.
And you can see his breeding because he's got a lot of dirty tricks.
You know what the irony is?
The irony is that if anyone really has been complicit with the Russians, it's the Democrats.
Just look at the uranium deal.
I mean, there's huge deals have been done with Russia between the Democrats and the Russians.
Yeah.
This whole thing is a joke.
And it's a nice distraction from the Clinton Foundation, who were pretty much in the hot seat for a while there.
Yeah, well, maybe, you know, if somebody gets a backbone in the White House, they'll start doing some...
Once they get settled, which is going to take another month because of all what the Democrats are trying to do to them, not to mention the media, once they get settled, I think they can start to turn their attention to some of these bad actors on the other side, and then they're the ones who probably need to get lawyers involved.
But anyway, I found this whole thing to be...
I only got one thing with Milo.
Milo was on the Bill Maher show and they were trying to...
Go back and forth.
Let's back up for one second.
Highly anticipated, well promoted by having Jeremy Scott Hill say, I'm not going to appear on that show if Milo is on.
So well promoted.
I have HBO Now or Go or whatever, so I couldn't watch it live.
I actually ordered HBO just to watch this.
Or you wasted your money.
No kidding.
$16.95.
Big jip.
Let me just say, what happened, in my opinion, I don't know what your clips are, I have a couple clips, but what happened in my opinion is Bill Maher had no idea.
He thought he was going to meet this crazy white nationalist, racist, KKK, fascist, misogynist, racist.
I agree.
And he's like, what is this?
And Milo sucked.
He did a horrible job.
He was not effective at all.
And the whole thing was a dud.
Well, first of all, Milo comes out in pearls.
Yeah, I don't give a shit about that.
A lot of pearls.
This is important.
He came out in a lot of pearls because, like you said, he expected to see some Nazi come out.
And so he comes out with this overly done, over-the-top, too much makeup, pearls, like strings of pearls around his neck and around his wrists.
Yeah, it was a little much.
He was over-the-top gay for the purposes of the show.
Of being gay, yes.
I have never seen him dressed like this, ever.
And so he comes out, he's all gayed up, and he makes a point of being gay, and he's doing his limp wrist routine.
He's doing everything super gay, I think, to make a pass at Mar.
Or to bring the gayness out in Mar, or bring the gay hate out in Mar.
Which has been rumored for many years.
Yes.
And so Milo's just hamming it up.
Milo knows the audience.
He's seen the show.
He studies stuff.
And he knows he has no prayer on that show to get anywhere.
So all he could do is counterpunch.
And Marr wouldn't let him do it.
It was a dud because Marr wouldn't get into anything with him.
I have two clips.
One is just to show you the classic Marr religious hatred and this anti-Catholic bent.
Which was reflected by the audience.
And this little clip, which is the Milo Blasa for being Catholic clip, is more interesting because of the audience reaction as far as I'm concerned.
In your head, when you recognize that you are a Catholic, I hope you say to yourself, gee, I'm also capable of bullshit, stupid thinking.
Well, everyone's capable of bullshit, stupid thinking.
And that's okay.
Yeah, oh yeah.
Oh, crazy religion, stupid people.
And so now at the end...
That's bigotry right there.
It's total bigotry.
It's beyond bigotry.
Well, it can be beyond.
Now, here is the end where they actually could have had a little bit of a debate.
And so, Maher says, "Well, I don't understand.
You seem like a logical guy who's normal or something.
I just don't see why you're on this Trump bandwagon.
It's idiotic." And as Milo is trying to defend himself, Maher gives him the bums rush.
Rules.
And says, "Oh, okay.
Well, anyway, the show's over.
Bye, get out." Rules.
You can't make jokes.
Because for a guy who loves free speech...
He's fabulous.
For a guy who loves free speech, you picked a weird one.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
He's not for the camera.
No, no, no.
No, no.
Oh, yeah.
What's interesting about this show is that they have a thing called Overtime, which I watched.
And Overtime continues on the YouTubes.
And so now we have, in the panel, we have a Republican senator who was actually quite funny and kind of hung back quite a bit, although he had a few good one-liners in there.
You have Larry Wilmore, and you have this Nance guy again.
Malcolm Nance, who was there to obviously tell everyone Russia is shit, Putin is horrible and evil, I have a book out.
And what happened in this overtime was mind-boggling.
Besides it being uneven, I mean even if you...
You have to say Marr is on the left with Malcolm Nance and with Larry Wilmore.
The senator, he provided some balance.
And who knows where Milo would fit in in all this.
But they were ganging up on him and went to a place that I didn't expect.
Not even from these guys.
You're saying, you know, you're suggesting these people are the victims of some kind of discrimination.
Well, I'm saying...
He believes that transgenderism is a mental disorder, and it's men who are confused, which of course he's saying for effect.
He may believe it as well, but he's saying it for effect, and everyone's brain is frying, especially Larry Wilmore.
You're saying, you know, you're suggesting these people are the victims of some kind of discrimination.
Well, I'm saying to you, this is a psychiatric disorder.
I didn't say discrimination.
This is a psychiatric disorder.
I said vaginal.
Like identity disorder or like sociopathy or something, you know?
I don't want these people around little girls involved.
No, no, no.
I'm saying, here's what I'm saying.
I said, this is what I said, the same argument we used against gay people.
You should do your homework because...
Yeah, it was wrong then.
It's right now.
That's perfectly...
No, no, no.
Homosexuality was called a disorder.
It was...
I love how the straight black guy is going to tell the gay white guy about homosexuality.
Doesn't get much better than that.
It's a psychological disorder.
Maybe it is.
I feel really disordered.
Well, maybe you are.
Maybe it is.
But most homosexuals are not.
You know what?
No, I think most gays have a long road, actually.
I think, I mean, most gays have a long road to coming to terms with their sexuality, and all of them end up happy about it.
Yeah, because of the way society treats them.
No, of course it isn't.
Don't be ridiculous.
No, of course it's the way society treats them.
If society said, we're fine with gay people and it's 1890, you think in 1990 people are going to have an issue with this?
You're being very obtuse.
If I can't produce a child for the person I love, if I can't produce a child...
All I know is this.
I have one quick question.
I'm not a journalist, and I may just be an old spy, but you would...
This guy, he's a pro.
He knows what he's doing.
He knows his place.
He knows his position.
And he is there to slip messages into your mind continuously.
And I may just be an old spy, but you were talking about confusion.
Were we talking about you?
What?
Because you sound very confused.
You were talking about people being confused about their sexuality, their position in the world.
I mean, I've been to Port Said in Naples, and you look like you've been there a few times.
But...
This one I couldn't figure out.
Have you heard of this expression, Port Said in Naples?
No.
Because I looked it up and it's like, it's one of those things where, you know, if you're looking for someone, you're sure to find them in Port Said in Naples.
Which I think, okay, thank you very much, chat room.
Military gays, Navy, okay, boy town, got it.
So he's making a gay joke, is what I figured it was, saying, are you confused?
Because I'm pretty sure I saw you hanging around with all the gays cruising for gay sex.
That's what he's saying to Milo, which is an insult.
It's just being insulting.
And it went downhill from there.
You know, I mean, I've been to Port Said in Naples, and you look like you've been there a few times.
But...
Because you seem to be very confused about who you are and what you are.
You're the one pulling your wallet out, sweetheart.
Yeah, that's right, Shipman.
No, I'm good.
See, you always have to fight with everybody.
I don't!
We were having such a nice time, but you always invite such awful people on your show.
They're so stupid.
No, come on.
You need to start inviting higher IQ guests or this is going to be a disaster.
First of all, first of all, wait.
These are very high IQ. Wait, hold on, Bill.
You can go fuck yourself, all right?
There it is.
We can't win an argument, so let's just tell him to go fuck himself.
Larry Wilmore.
Yeah, there you go.
You can go fuck yourself.
There you go.
I'm badass.
Oh, and the audience, John, they love it!
And I'll let you know, Jack.
If this is the face of the Nazis...
If your argument is that these people are stupid...
If your argument is that these people are stupid, you didn't hear a word this man said early in this segment, because he can talk circles around your pathetic, douchey little ass for now.
Yeah, let's gang up on the fag!
Woo!
Fuck you, fag!
One last thing, and I'll let you defend it.
I'll let you defend it.
Leslie Jones is not very illiterate.
Go fuck yourself again for that.
Oh, yeah!
Geez.
Wow.
Now, Wilmore, I have to say...
It seems to me that because of the last show, the one that came before this, where the guy on the stage during the show said that to one of the guests...
If you remember, he just...
And he gave him the finger.
Yes, yes.
And he started doing this.
Now, Wilmore, who seems to be really not his own person, I think that was the green light for other people to do this.
And here comes the...
Thank you very much.
Here's the NSA guy.
Somebody hand us the gays while taking money from Saudi Arabia.
I'll take Trump any fucking day.
Wait, you'll take Russian spies over Saudis?
Okay, thanks.
Actually...
Are you American?
No, he's not American.
Fuck off!
There it is!
Yeah!
Fuck you, Brick!
Brick!
Unbelievable.
Yeah, there it was.
There was the permission.
There was the permission.
You nailed it.
Yeah, permission was granted on the show, in the last show, with this one guy at bar, Martin, really put a stop to it.
And now it's out of control, because these guys have no argument.
If your only argument is just to scream an epithet at somebody, that's no argument.
You lost.
You lost, exactly.
That's pathetic.
I'll give you a clip of the day for that, by the way.
I missed it.
Clip of the day.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courtesy.
In the morning to you, John C. Where the C stands for Clip of the Day, I'll give you that.
Dvorak.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
Also, in the morning to all the ships.
All the ships out there.
The ships, especially the ones that are out at sea.
The ships at sea.
As he's opening his spreadsheet.
The ships at sea, I want to say, in the morning to you.
Also the subs in the water, the feet in the air, and all the dames and knights out there.
Yes.
In the morning to the chatroom, noagendastream.com.
Thank you very much for knowing all about that Italian gay spot.
I don't know why you guys know that, but it's appreciated.
In the morning to CZM137 brought us the artwork for episode 904, which was right 4.0.
I like this art.
The more I looked at it, the more I liked it.
It was the four trash cans.
One with fake news, with WAPO sticking out, cash, men, body parts.
It was really good.
It was a very nice piece.
And we appreciate that, Season 137.
Of course, that's why you get your credit.
And also, thank you very much to all the other artists who've submitted artwork.
Noagendaartgenerator.com.
We love what you do, and it's a big help.
Well, we do have a few people to thank for show 905, and somebody did send a note in saying it kind of blew the idea for a gimmick, which was that it's not only Family Day in Alberta, but there's holidays across all the provinces, all of the different names, as our day tomorrow is President's Day.
Yes.
And the good one is it was in Ontario, which is the area code 905.
Ah, yeah, we've done that before, I believe.
Yeah, it's very hard to...
Nice gimmick.
Anyway, gimmicks are us.
Sir P. Anonymous comes in at the top of the list with $444.44.
Just Sir P. Anonymous.
No name or location, please.
I keep trying to write something good here.
But to hell with it.
I just want to give money to you mofos so you mofos never stop.
All right.
ITM and adios.
Adios, mofo.
Adios.
Adios.
We should give him an adios mofo.
We can give him at least that.
Adios, mofo.
There you go.
There you go.
Andrew Denton in San Diego, California, 33333.
One of three.
Three times 333.33 from Sir Milkman and also Anonymous of Southern Oregon.
But let's start with Andrew.
Dear John and Adam, will so much media bias against the president, oh, with so much media bias against the president, it's refreshing to hear you both analyze how the media misleads us twice a week.
No, they mislead you all the time.
We drain it out twice a week.
Thank you for having no agenda but the truth.
No agenda but the truth.
Oh, no agenda but the truth.
Okay, so I guess.
Got it.
I request a dedouching, Trump's job karma, and Putin.
All right.
Well, we'll do...
Trump Pelosi to make it work perfectly.
You've been de-douched.
Jobs.
And jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
Thank you very much, Andrew.
The second of the three is Sir Milkman.
I request a Trump jobs, another one.
This is classic random number stuff.
A Trump's job, but I'm catching up on the projects from the last one.
Oh, he got a bunch of jobs, so he doesn't want that.
Oh, okay.
No jobs.
Good.
I'd request it, but I'm still catching up.
I got you.
I got a jingle that will get me to Vegas instead.
Consider an Aloha Mofos.
Sign off for a change.
Karma for the haters.
Hmm.
Well, I can do this.
I'm shocked.
Shocked to find that gambling is going on in here.
Maybe that'll work.
I don't know.
We'll try.
You've got karma.
That should get you to Vegas.
Yes, indeed.
Anonymous in Southern Oregon, 33333.
And he sent in a note, which I'll read.
It's a check.
Uh, I've been reading John for decades, yes!
And found no agenda a few years ago through Twit.
I've gotten an unbelievable amount of value from you guys, and I didn't know what twisted slave bullshit has kept me from donating until now.
My kids have grown up listening to NA, no agenda, and my daughter has taken to pestering me for not donating yet.
On my last birthday, she gave me a no agenda t-shirt and said, I'll have to wear this when Adam does a PNW tour.
She said, Dad, you can't go meet Adam if you're still a douchebag.
Great family, by the way.
A recent gig put me in the black for the first time in a long while.
I no longer have any excuse.
Please accept my first bit of value for value in the amount of 333.33.
I'd appreciate a de-douching and don't rap for the kids and a shot of karma for us all.
But, let's finish this.
He says, cheers, but he says that P.S., which I wanted to read.
My mother-in-law, this is interesting to me, my mother-in-law worked as a pit boss in a Trump casino for several years.
Oh.
She said he was a great boss.
He would stop by and chat as he made his rounds, and he was always very respectful to everyone, no matter who they were.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Didn't he come up there and say, hey, pit boss, let me grab your pussy?
Come on.
She also said Ivana had her own floor in the casino, as did two of his girlfriends.
Well, there you go.
Ivanka, you mean.
No.
Oh, Ivana.
Really?
That's funny.
Yeah.
And we get the goods.
Okay.
What does she want?
What does she want again?
She wants a don't raff.
Yeah.
No, it refers to de-douching.
Yeah.
Don't raff.
And then?
And it's a he.
Oh, and a karma.
A don't raff and a shot of karma.
Okay.
You've been de-douched.
Don't raff.
Why are you laughing?
Shut up.
You've got karma.
Nice, nice, nice.
Teresa Morgan in Far Hills, New Jersey.
This will be a first associate executive producer.
251 from the wife of Sir Jim Morgan.
Happy 51st birthday, honey.
Is he on the list?
And a happy 50th birthday to Shelly.
Are she on the list?
Yes, I believe so.
In regards to climate change, the Central Park Zoo staff record snow amounts.
I guess so they got a scientist on staff.
Yeah, I saw that story.
It's rather unscientific, I think, is the point.
Yeah.
Snowed.
Texas travel karma and we...
You've got karma.
Travel karma for you.
Tejas, all the way.
Okay.
And now we move on to Sir T, a.k.a.
Stephen from DeSoto, Texas, 22222, and he sent an email in Luckily, it was under Stephen or Stephan.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have found it.
And the way you do it, you just fill in the note in there on the APAL thing.
As long as you don't hit the carriage return, I think you can just keep typing.
I cannot believe just kidding.
Yes, I wanted to mention that.
That is indeed, that seems to be the problem depending on which version of the website you're using.
If you hit a carriage return in your message, that can sometimes screw up the message.
Send the message.
Send the message and then, yeah, exactly.
I cannot believe.
Just kidding.
I know how much you love those type of bitching emails.
Sorry, but this is email full of gratitude.
As a newbie who has been listening for a couple of months, I have a couple of questions about messages to the show.
I'm halfway to knighthood with this donation, but I seem to be making mistakes sending my messages to the show, so a couple of quick questions if you do not mind.
I've been paying by PayPal and have written messages to the show in the message to sender box in PayPal.
None of them seem to get to you or the show.
So that is my first question.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Question number one.
If it's under the executive producer, associate executive producer level, we may not have read your notes.
It depends on the level.
Yes.
This is true, people don't, some newbies especially, and you say you're a newbie, don't understand that we don't read the notes.
We do pick them up from time to time if it's a slow donation day, but yeah, that's really just to bring you more show.
So he said, and I think that may be the problem, because he says I've sent payments ranging from 22222 to 50 bucks for most of the last several shows and have noticed that my payments are being received and jumbled out of sequence order.
Example being, a couple of shows I received a producer credit for $50 for the same show.
I don't know what this means.
No big deal, but I'm trying to space them out so they are individual payments for each show.
Well, it depends how they come in.
But apparently there's a lag delay in receiving PayPal payments.
It may be.
You know what?
Forget it.
This is sounding a touch douchey.
So I'm just glad to support the show.
Keep up the great work and more than happy to provide support.
So in closing, Dr.
T and Steven Taylor from DeSoto are the same person.
Keep setting those fires.
I will continue supporting you.
A little karma de-douching and a big yay for us newbies.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
And last on the associate executive producer list without a note or anything else except a check with a post-it note stuck on top of it saying T-anonymous please to a 102.
Right.
A palindrome.
I want to thank you folks for helping us produce the show and reminding everyone that we have another show coming up next week, Thursday.
Yes, and I do have a PR mention from Dame Tanya.
We always break for dames and knights.
She's, of course, the Viscountess of New York City.
John and Adam, I'm breaking the usual protocol of just emailing one or the other of you and hope that this will get through for Sunday's show.
If not, Thursday's fine.
You got us.
If you can please mention this on the show.
Chef Rob McHugh, who John, you may remember from the New York City meetup last April, has opened his restaurant.
It's called The Fat Monk in Manhattan.
All No Agenda producers are welcome.
Dame Tanya says she's gone twice so far.
It's top-notch on all levels.
Fabulous food, gorgeous room, excellent service.
Drop the yes for extra savings.
It's on Columbus Avenue between 106 and 107th Street, right in my neighborhood, hoping to organize regular meetups there.
I'm sure it's dynamite.
It was good, right?
You enjoyed the food there, I believe.
This is numerous.
I haven't eaten his food.
I'm assuming from his postings that he's highly talented.
Probably top chef in the city.
I'm surprised he's not giving somebody a discount.
I didn't want to say anything.
Anyway, as John said, we have another show coming up on Thursday.
Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. These credits are real for our executive producers and our associate executive producers.
This is what you put on your LinkedIn.
You can use it in other CV, resumes.
It's real.
We'll gladly verify for you, unlike the douchebags in Hollywood.
And of course, we would like you to be out there, you know, doing things like propagating our formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Back trick ball.
Shut up, slave.
Shut up, slave.
Yes.
And before we continue here, a little bit of Euroland news here.
Oh, I got plenty.
I bopped on something that really was pretty evil.
Pretty damn evil.
I think the BBC started this, and it has now been propagated everywhere.
It's on news reports, ranging from, of course, BBC, Sky News, Euro News.
Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders has launched his election campaign by referring to Moroccans as scum.
Wilders was campaigning in a multi-ethnic district near Rotterdam, which is a stronghold of his Freedom Party.
If he becomes prime minister, he's promised to shut down mosques, ban Muslim immigration and pull the Netherlands out of the EU.
Look at the Islamisation, how he let terrorism into the country, how he let the Moroccan scum go ahead without us doing anything against them, he said.
Only in December, Wilders was convicted of inciting discrimination after he led his supporters to chant that they wanted fewer Moroccans in the country.
The things that he's going to do make me very, very scared.
People have gotten used to it and they don't protest anymore.
And I think it's important that you show your voice that you don't agree with the things that are happening.
And also just to get into contact with the people that are voting for him.
Because I noticed today that a lot of times they don't really know what they're voting for.
Filders is only just ahead of center-right Prime Minister Mark Rutter, who is hoping that the recent economic recovery will favor him at the ballot box.
If he does win, Filders will struggle to form a government.
Most major parties say they won't enter into a coalition with him because his policies are offensive.
Yeah, it may sound a little bit familiar.
Oh, we're not going to work with him.
No, not at all.
Here's the problem I have with this report.
The headline is, Dutch Populous Geert Wilders Calls Moroccans Scum.
So, fortunately for this program, I speak the Netherlandish, and I went to see what he actually said.
And what he said was, there's, I'll say it in Dutch, which means too much Moroccan thugs in the streets.
He didn't say Moroccans are scum.
Well, I hate to stop you.
Because I have a clip of him saying it, and he says Moroccans are scum, but he doesn't say Moroccans are scum.
He says Moroccan scum, not all Moroccans are scum, in English.
Oh, okay.
Well, that was not his original quote.
Where is it?
I want to hear that.
Wilder's Report, France 24.
Interesting.
Okay.
Garrett Wielders, the leader of the Dutch far-right Freedom Party, seemed to borrow from the Donald Trump playbook as he launched his presidential campaign in a diverse blue-collar town outside of Rotterdam.
The Moroccan scum in Holland.
Once again, not all are scum, but there is a lot of Moroccan scum in Holland.
Dammit, I'm glad you stopped me, John, because I did not hear this English report.
I only heard his Dutch report.
So now I feel pretty stupid for sticking up for him.
Well...
But still, he's not saying exactly what they're saying.
No, this is like Mexicans are rapists.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, this is the real playbook.
They're going after this guy and more in the same way they went after Trump.
The Moroccan scum in Holland.
Once again, not all are scum, but there is a lot of Moroccan scum in Holland who makes the streets unsafe.
Mostly young people.
And they are not taken seriously.
It's not the first time Wilders has spoken out against Moroccans.
Previous comments landed him with a discrimination conviction in December.
His campaign promises match his rhetoric.
He has vowed to close mosques and ban the Koran.
He's also said he'll take the Netherlands out of the European Union.
Ideas that have found support among those worried about immigration and the threat of jihadist attacks.
Immigration, Islam, and to defend Dutch values.
Yes, the Dutch values are really what's important.
Immigration is just shit, man.
The elections will be Liberation Day.
We'll get back the key to our own house.
Now the key is in Brussels, and it has to come back.
Yeah, thank you very much.
Wilders is leading in opinion polls, but if he wins, he'd have trouble forming a government.
Major parties have already said they won't join a coalition with the Freedom Party.
Opponents say Wilders' policies are offensive and even unconstitutional.
The things that he's going to do make me very, very scared.
I think Mr.
Wilders dares to say what a whole bunch of Dutch people think, and that's good.
But he talks a lot, provokes a lot of hatred, and doesn't have a real solution.
The Netherlands' March 15th election is seen by many as the latest litmus test for the rise in global populism after the Brexit vote and Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. An anti-establishment trend Wilders hails as the patriotic spring.
The New World Order slash the globalists, the elites, the No Nation, No Borders people are very worried about Geert Wilders as they are about Marine Le Pen.
And BBC took it upon themselves...
Well, I want to stop before you go on that, too, because you played that BBC report.
I just wanted to point out, and you can continue after I say this, that the reports, even though this is France 24, were almost identical in the packaging.
They had the same talking points.
They had the same, oh, no government will work with them.
It's very offensive.
And then they had the same one, somebody coming out and saying, I'm scared.
And they're going to do the same for Le Pen, as we'll hear in a moment.
BBC sat down with Riedwilders and just their intro alone already said you knew what they were going to do.
Populist parties have been growing in strength across Europe, emboldened by both Brexit and President Trump.
There's Marine Le Pen and the National Front in France, of course, but there's a critical election before that.
Next month in the Netherlands, Kheert Wilders, who leads the Freedom Party, is hoping to top the ballot.
He wants to take the country out of the EU and to de-Islamize the Netherlands with a ban on immigration from Muslim countries.
In 2016, he was convicted of inciting discrimination.
The Dutch coalition system means it's unlikely Wilders will be crowned prime minister, but he could end up leading the largest party, which would chill European centrists and boost other populist movements throughout the continent.
Well, John Sweeney tracked him down.
Yeah, tracked him down like he's a...
Like he's a dog!
Yes, hunted him down like the dog that he is.
And they start off with, the first question is positioning this guy as enemy of Islam.
When did you last go for a walk on your own?
On my own?
Well, that's something like, wow, 12, 13 years ago.
All on my own, drive a car, go do some shopping, or empty my own mailbox at home.
Being at my own home is more than 12 years ago, unfortunately.
I'm on the death list from, well, Al-Qaeda, Taliban, many of that kind of organisations.
I thought it was just very interesting that was the first question.
To me, it was just framing him as, ah, everyone hates the guy, where really he's been standing up for what he believes is right in the Netherlands for over a decade, and it's not been easy for him.
So here comes the trick question.
How are we going to discredit this guy?
Well, I think the BBC interviewer in question did a very good job It didn't pan out, I don't think, because Wilders caught on to him, but he did a really good job trying to discredit his Muslim hate as focusing on the wrong thing.
What's the biggest cause by terror of the loss of Dutch lives in the last few years?
Well, we were lucky to not have the kind of attacks that, for instance, Germany, Belgium, France, even the United Kingdom, with the London attacks, had.
I was thinking about MH17. So we did?
I was thinking about MH17. MH17, yes.
193 Dutch people died.
Yes.
They're entirely innocent.
In a civilian airliner.
That's true.
Shot down.
Sure.
And the prime suspects...
It's Putin's Russia.
Well, we have to see about that.
I'm sure it has to be cleared.
And I would not bet that Russia had nothing to do with that.
But still, let's wait for the prosecutor who is working on it now to handle it.
But you could be right.
I'm not ignoring that.
The Russians say it's the Ukrainians.
Either way...
193 people die.
They're Dutch.
And it has got nothing whatsoever to do with Muslims.
Very true.
And we have to see...
Because there are other dangers in the world, aren't there?
There's North Korea, there's Putin's Russia.
You see, this is where the guy...
North Korea?
Yeah, where he was going was, you're too focused on Muslims.
Look at the real danger.
Putin, North Korea.
Oh, yeah.
Jimmy fell down the well.
Why are you blaming the Muslims for anything?
That's right.
North Korea?
There's Putin's Russia, and there are Islamist extremists, Islamist fascists.
So aren't you a bit obsessed with just one element of the spectrum here, which is the Muslim spectrum, while ignoring perhaps Russian fascism?
I tell you, the more that we import Islam, and I'm not talking about all the people, I'm not saying once again that all the people are extremist people.
Hold on a second.
So he says, why are you ignoring Russian fascism?
Are Russian fascists swarming into the country as refugees?
No, they come in with visas and billions of rubles.
They love the Russians in Holland.
Are you kidding me?
The economy runs on it.
That's exactly what Wilder should have said.
Yeah, but that's...
Yeah.
He's...
No.
Yeah, I agree.
He should say that.
...while ignoring, perhaps, Russian fascism.
I tell you, the more that we import Islam, and I'm not talking about all the people, I'm not saying once again that all the people are extremist people, but the ideology...
And freedom are incompatible.
So we are facing an existential problem here.
If we allow to open our borders, if we allow to ignore the problems that we are facing today, let alone later in the century with the demographic situation in Africa, we will cease to exist.
Our values, our identity will not be taken away by the European Union only, but by the Islamization of our society.
And that does not work.
And I wanted To be stopped.
Point.
You have to understand Dutch to understand what he did at the end there.
He said, point!
In the Netherlands, in the Dutch language, when you want to emphasize your point, you actually enunciate the period at the end of the sentence by saying...
Yeah, so it's like saying period or fact.
Yes, but he said point.
Yeah, right.
Very funny.
Point.
And then, of course, BBC wraps it up with the same old talking points.
You believe in the politics of identity.
Who doesn't?
Well, I suppose the people who believe in liberal democracy, the idea that everybody is equal under the law.
It's a different way of looking at the world.
People are equal.
Ideologies, values are not equal.
Relations...
Are not equal.
What I told you before, the cultural relativists, people who believe that all cultures are equal, are the proof of the biggest disease Europe faced in the last decades.
Cultural relativists who say Islamic culture is the same as Christianity, allow them and don't demand from them to integrate and to assimilate.
This is the worst thing that has happened to us.
Many Dutch find his views not just repellent but dangerous.
So will Geert Wilders take power on March 15th?
Probably not, as the mainstream parties will do their best to block him.
Yes, of course.
Probably not.
So to say that people that come to your country should integrate because they move to your country is repellent and dangerous.
It's completely wrong.
That's the stuff fascists are made of.
This is how it starts.
This is our no borders, no nations, guys.
And the BBC is all in on this because they're run by the same people that, again, I'll just bring this up for the umpteenth time, which I've been doing as a theme on this show.
The rich elites want this because they don't – because wars are the worst thing for them because people steal their stuff.
They don't want their stuff stolen.
Exactly.
They don't want their stuff stolen.
So they're going to impose a new world order on everyone so they stay put and don't steal their stuff.
Go steal each other's stuff.
I don't care.
Worse, with the new banking regulations, they'll be able to steal your stuff across state lines.
Well, that's okay, too.
The elites are very worried about this, and the leaders of Germany and Poland went to have a couple of talks about this.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has held talks with Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydwo.
Both leaders say they want to deepen the ties between the two countries, but Merkel says the EU can work at different speeds of integration.
Cooperation in a new field must be open to every member state.
Maybe one member state will say, I don't like that.
But there cannot be exclusive clubs which are closed to others.
That's the basis of our cooperation.
The Polish government opposes the Nord Stream 2 project.
That's a gas pipeline that Russia's planning to build to Germany, but would bypass Poland and Ukraine.
The Polish premier told reporters, Brexit's a fact.
It happened in certain circumstances and for certain reasons.
We need to answer these questions and to resolve these problems appearing in the EU. Poland's position is that we should be directed towards the progress of the European Union, but with respect and strengthening of nation states.
So, if Wilders should win, that could spark all the wrong messaging.
And, of course, on the heels of Wilders would be the French election.
Exact same talking points about Marine Le Pen that, you know, she may make it through, but, you know, she's not going to have enough support, but we're kind of worried.
I think she's the reason why the French elections are probably the number one true political event.
This is a financial guy, actually.
This is a guy from Lloyd's private banking.
2017, because the implications are far-reaching if she would be elected.
And I think there's a good chance that she will make it through the first round successfully.
There are five candidates, two far-left candidates, then obviously...
Francois Villon, who was accused of embezzlement last week, might limp into the election now and that increases her chances.
And then we have Emmanuel Macron, who is the main candidate that many people see as the winner of the first election.
But she might just win, actually, the first round and go into the second round and then, I think, Her vote is probably capped at around 35-40% because there will be, as there has been in a number of other elections in Europe, a platform against a right wing candidate.
And then, obviously, as we think about the longer term consequences, it's not enough for her to win the presidential elections.
She also needs to win the National Assembly elections in June, 11th and 18th of June, and only then she can actually move forward with her policy recommendations, which are always very drastic.
She wants to leave the Euro, she wants to leave the European Union, and she needs a change in the Constitution because in difference to the UK, the EU membership is actually a part of the Constitution.
That's true.
They did change that.
I remember that.
But no chance.
There's no chance.
This sounds very familiar to me.
Especially when they say, oh, he's capped.
She's capped at 35%.
This is what they said about Trump the whole time.
Can't do it.
Oh, he's capped.
He's capped.
He won't get past 35%.
Meanwhile, despite the non-ratification of the Ukraine ascension agreement into the EU, this is their first friendly agreement, which the Dutch held a referendum over and said, no, we don't want it.
You can't ratify.
Things are moving ahead swimmingly.
Ukraine's Prime Minister has been drumming up support from the EU after renewed fighting in the country's east.
Prime Minister Volodymyr Grossman blamed Russia for the violence, a charge repeatedly denied by Moscow.
This town used to be very peaceful.
Its communal and electric services were heavily shelled.
Living conditions for the population of Andavika became appalling.
I've informed the President about it.
By now we managed to alleviate the situation.
Eastern Ukraine has seen its worst violence in nearly two years.
But as the war rages, the government in Kiev is pressing for deeper ties with Brussels.
We were discussing the issue of the visa liberalization.
Ah, yes.
This will happen before Sabah.
Ah, the visa liberalization.
Yes, that was the first step.
They're just moving ahead.
They're moving ahead without the agreement.
It's unbelievable.
They just figured the agreement's just a formality.
Exactly.
They have their schedule, and there it is.
So what about these agreements we need to sign?
Ah!
Just keep going, they'll get signed.
Yeah.
It's unbelievable.
And how quickly they forget that we don't care about you.
On the heels of this,
a fun YouTube video came out, two actually, a fun YouTube video came out, two actually, of what is billed as Russian hackers, but I would say it's more pranksters, who prank phone called John McCain and prank phone called Maxine Waters. - Yeah.
Yeah.
Russian hackers.
This is some radio show or something, I think.
Yeah, it's a radio show.
There's like the DJs that used to do this out of the East Coast.
There's a lot of those guys.
Yeah, oh sure.
And it presents tremendous opportunities.
I thought it was...
And it's so removed from what we do in radio today.
It is.
Yeah, you're right.
It's so old school.
It's so 80s.
Yeah, that no one expects to get a prank call like this.
Broadcast.
So John McCain takes the call, and on the heels of that, you know, more fighting in Ukraine.
Russia's killing us.
These guys played right into it.
Hello, Mr.
Prime Minister.
How are you?
I'm good, thank you.
Hello, dear Senator.
How are you?
Well, I've been reading about the new attacks.
In the eastern part of your country by Vladimir Putin and it's not surprising.
That's why I would like to tell you thank you that you support us in so hard time, so it's really helpful for us.
Well, I'm putting on a statement today and a letter to the President saying that It's important for us to provide lethal defensive weapons to your country and do it immediately.
It is authorized in the legislation we passed last year.
Alright, so there's McCain wanting the war.
We need lethal weapons.
Let's go kill some people.
Let's go kill some Russians.
To a warmonger McCain caught in the act.
But he is also very honest, thinking that the sanctions are pretty strong and will stay in place.
I have to be very frank with my friend, the Prime Minister.
What a dick.
Is that how you talk when you're a politician?
I have to be very frank with my friend, the co-host of the No Agenda show.
Yes, you do.
And that is that I do not know what the President is going to do.
At least in the beginning, he's not been specific, but apparently for now, he is not for removing sanctions.
As you know, we in the Senate and Congress have stated if he relaxes those sanctions, we will act legislatively.
That won't be easy, but we will certainly Make that effort.
Okay, so he's saying, we probably can't do anything, but sanctions won't change, but if they do, we'll do everything we can, Mr.
Prime Minister.
So these guys, they're trying to get something funny out of him, because they're radio guys, after all.
What an idiot!
Well, they're trying to get something funny out of him, and then they launched this one, which I liked a lot, which McCain took a little seriously at the end.
We have information that Putin is preparing a series of I'm sorry.
So, yes, Putin's about to release information that you are a Manchurian candidate and have been working with FSB and KGB all the time.
And it will be soon published by Russia Today.
Yes, I will look forward to that.
First he's all coy, like, ah, but then...
I thank you, Mr.
Prime Minister, and I will look forward to them revealing how I was brainwashed by the...
Interesting that the guy never said brainwashed, but that's what McCain thought of.
Just as a point.
...feeling how I was brainwashed by our North Vietnamese friends.
I thank you, Mr.
Prime Minister, and I'd be very interested.
Actually, I'd be very interested, and maybe you could ask your ambassador to tell me more about that information.
I'd be very interested.
Worried a little bit, McCain?
Wow.
Now, these guys call Maxine Waters.
Now, this is so much better.
Because she is such a moron.
She is totally stupid.
And you can just tell.
Oh, the Prime Minister of Ukraine.
Oh, hello.
Oh, hello.
It's Maxine.
Maybe I'm going to be cut into some deals.
Maybe I'll be a part of something.
You can really hear how compromised and evil these cocksuckers are.
Oops, sorry.
That's not the one.
So sorry.
Pulled up the wrong one.
Here it is.
Maxine Waters.
Yes, here we go.
Hello.
Hello.
Good morning, dear representative.
This is Prime Minister of Ukraine, Vladimir Grosman.
Good morning, this is Maxine Waters.
Hello, Maxine Waters in her best telephone voice.
That's how my mom used to answer the phone.
Valerie Curry, how can I help you?
Hello, Maxine Waters, are you there, PM of Ukraine?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello, good morning, dear representative.
This is Prime Minister of Ukraine, Vladimir Gruzman.
Good morning.
This is Maxine Waters.
I'm glad to hear you.
You know, I have good relations with Miss Clinton.
Do you meet here?
Oh, this is funny.
So let's get on our good side, right?
Let's just start off talking about Clinton.
Let's see if she can open up about Hillary.
Of course, they're good friends, as you know.
Do you meet here?
Yes, she's doing fine.
She has started to...
It's like she is coming back from, you know, recovering from some sickness.
No, she's doing fine.
You know, she's okay.
Yeah?
Yeah, she's doing fine.
She has started to come out a little.
Oh, good.
I think she did one or two speeches, and she has been tweeting.
Oh!
Oh, well, she's fine.
She's been tweeting.
No, she's good.
She's back on track.
A bit on her telephone.
So, she's coming back.
She's going to be all right.
Okay.
She, of course, is going to worry about it, perhaps, for the rest of her life.
It was such an unusual situation with...
Everybody thought that she was going to win, so it's a great, great disappointment and a painful one, so it won't be easy to forget.
It'll always be there, you know, as one of the most unusual occurrences in her lifetime.
But she's a hero, I think.
She's a hero anyway.
She tried.
Oh yeah, she's a hero.
Oh yeah, she's a hero.
She's a hero.
They've got her all buttered up.
And what better way to get someone as stupid as Maxine Waters all riled up but to say, hey, we've got proof that Putin hacked somebody else's election system again!
It's many issues why I decided to call you because Russia occupied...
Donetsk.
And they occupied Lvov.
It's on the...
How do you spell it?
Lvov?
Lvov on the West.
How do you spell it?
Maybe, as you know, it's Russian hackers attacked their service, computer service.
So it was elections in Limpopo.
So they hacked into the election system.
You can hear, I can't wait to get on the floor talking about this.
The election system in Limpopo.
Limpopo.
And he made his political puppets, I believe, a new president.
Limpopo.
Limpopo.
Yes.
And were they able to determine, control who got elected?
Yes, so they changed election company there.
It's more, they did more damage for them than for the U.S. Now she's moist.
Oh, they did even more there.
Yeah, so it's, I think the U.S. Who are the experts that run that operation for them?
Who was an ideologue?
Who is responsible for being in charge of the hacking of the election systems that caused them to win?
It was advisors of Putin.
Of course.
His special advisors.
So she's digging that.
And then, of course, we're going to wind it up.
And these guys are so smart.
They're going to bring in...
They're going to convince her of the television hacking.
You remember when RT all of a sudden came on C-SPAN? Yes.
For 10 minutes.
Right.
That's a good one.
They're going to bring that up.
Well, I and some others want to do everything that we can.
Everything that we can.
And if you're coming to the United States, I'd like to know...
Yeah, I want to be in the loop here.
I want to talk to you guys.
Come on, PM. And if...
I could get maybe to London or someplace anytime soon.
Oh, John, I'll just travel to London, just have a meeting with the Ukrainian Prime Minister.
Yeah?
Who does she work for?
The people of California?
Does she not work for you?
That's what they say.
Just a little junket to London.
If I can make it over to Jolte, get my hair done.
Maybe you could meet me.
I want to let you know his new weapon.
Hacker's weapon.
He has a new hacker's weapon.
You know what...
Okay, hacker's weapon.
The case, what happens with our president.
He was in his office and he watched the TV. And what happened?
His TV channel changed by itself to Russia Today, and it was an interview with Putin.
So they, how, I don't know, somehow they got access to TV lines.
It happened to me too.
Oh, oh.
I was on the floor talking, and I got blacked out, and Russia Today with an ad came on for 10 minutes.
You guys are laughing in the background.
Terrible.
Terrible.
Yep.
Absolutely.
And it was the same in Ukraine.
It happened with our president.
We tried to find out who was responsible for it because CCM manages our communication system and they could not give us a good explanation.
they simply said it was a technical difficulty.
M.W.
and you don't know where there's fake news.
Why don't you get your Gitmo fix?
Putin on the red.
That's right.
The one and only Vladimir Putin.
Maxine Waters.
I like those guys.
I like that radio show.
So the way I'm seeing this come down is the following.
These guys are in Europe somewhere.
Yeah.
And they call.
They just call from some line and it shows up on the caller ID as being from Russia or from Ukraine or wherever.
And so it adds the note of credibility...
Because obviously these people are all in the dark ages if they're not in the United States, and so there wouldn't be a radio show.
Do they even have radios there?
I don't think so.
No.
And so the only piece that would be calling, because these people are so important, McCain's so important, Maxine Watt is a very important person.
They say, oh, it must be the Prime Minister.
It's got to be him, yeah.
So they're already immediately sold on the idea.
It's so easy.
Why aren't our producers doing this?
The media, because the media doesn't want to do something to embarrass these people.
No, that's true.
They need McCain.
McCain was, of course...
But our people, our no-agenda people.
Oh, yeah, no, they just listen to us.
They don't want to help.
I mean, otherwise, they'd be on C-SPAN all the time.
Yeah.
One or two guys have done it, but they need more.
Yeah.
You said some fake news was brought in.
This was my favorite fake news story of the week.
I'm beginning to think, and I'm still thinking this way a little bit with the Flynn thing, that there is a little sleight of hand going on, and I want to play this story, but at the same time I want people to...
Think that the possibility exists that a fake memo was put out as bait.
Yes, I heard this, actually.
What was the fake memo?
The fake memo would be covered in this story.
So play this.
This is Undoubt from RT. Well, the war on fake news is raging, and there's a new chapter in the conflict.
The Associated Press News Agency has run a story based on an American government memo it obtained.
In it, there were calls for a number of measures, including the mobilization of troops to round up illegal immigrants.
Shortly after, though, a Washington journalist tweeted a response he'd received from the White House, saying the idea was not going to be introduced.
AP insists the draft memo had been circulated among Homeland Security staff for the past two weeks.
But White House spokesperson Sean Spicer has already dismissed the report, adding that Homeland Security had confirmed it as, quote, 100% false.
Yeah, this was a National Guard memo, I think, was what that was.
Yeah, some phony baloney memo.
Could have been a hoax.
It could have been done by the White House as bait, just to see these guys run it.
That's what I'm starting to think.
Of course.
There's a lot.
Of course.
It's kind of funny when Mimi's floating around and she doesn't listen to the show.
And so she misses.
We didn't talk about this on the show anyway, but she says to me out of the blue, because I'm getting clips and she's like, how can you watch this crap for hours on end?
Yeah.
And so we're getting the clips, and she says, you know, that North Korean thing?
Yeah, that was hilarious, because it was these two...
The two people were part of a TV stunt?
What?
And I said, what?
I said, that...
What?
I said, where'd you get this?
You know, there was a hoax that went around almost immediately, that the two women...
You didn't get this.
You picked it up.
It's funny.
It floated around on Twitter.
And so these two women were told to do this as part of a hoax, some hoax show.
And they were hired to chase Kim Jong-un's half-brother around with these needles or something.
And that was all part of a scam.
And they were scammed.
They didn't know it was poison.
It was just because this TV show had talked them into it.
But it turned out that there was no TV show.
The whole thing was a scheme.
This is all bull crap.
And I said, where'd you get this story?
It's just on Facebook?
Oh, okay.
That'll explain it.
Before we go into our D-block, just staying in Europe for one more moment, a guy named Ami Horowitz has done a documentary on the refugee problems in Sweden.
And he's getting a lot of attention.
He went on Tucker's show.
Pretty friendly, I guess, for this topic.
Didn't need much of Tucker in the little package I have here.
But let's just start.
I think he lived in Sweden for a while, and that's why he decided to do this documentary, where the globalism is so rife in Sweden.
John, I think you've been to Stockholm.
I've certainly been to Stockholm.
Oh, yeah.
And it's a very interesting culture.
They do believe that they are the bastions of globalism, I think.
You know, free, open.
Yeah, the free, open.
Well, they are definitely, I think they're pretty liberal.
Yeah.
Well, here is Ami Horowitz talking about the problem that no one really wants to discuss in Sweden.
Well, in Sweden's own words, they consider themselves to be a humanitarian superpower, probably the only superpower that they would qualify for.
So they feel that it's their moral duty to open their borders to all and any refugees that want to come to them.
So you've recently spent time there.
Tell me if I'm overstating this.
I don't think many people in Sweden think this is working well.
Is that fair to say?
No, it's not fair to say, actually.
In fact, most people that you ask about the refugee crisis, they will say...
The reason why I did the whole thing to begin with, taking a step back, was that there was an absolute surge in both gun violence and rape in Sweden once they began this open-door policy.
So they know that this crime is happening.
They can feel it.
The statistics are clear.
But they would refer to what is the root cause behind it and say, oh, it just happened to be more violence.
It's men who are raping people, not the refugees.
They'll make excuses for it.
The majority of the population in Sweden still want to have an open-door policy.
It's really confounding.
I believe this is absolutely true.
Me too.
Me too.
Having been there, I totally agree.
And even though the statistics are there, the government is not being helpful.
The crime statistics are the crime statistics, and they're not closely held.
They're open to the public, and they do show this incredible surge of violence.
What may actually be the problem is that they oftentimes try to cover up some of these crimes.
That, for example, there's been a rash of these rapes at these music festivals.
And what happens is they would cover up, as far as they could, who the perpetrators were or if actually rapes had actually occurred.
Now, obviously, when you have so many people witnessing these rapes, they're difficult to do and they've come out to the public.
But I think that's kind of what they're referring to, that the government has gone out of its way to try to cover up some of these problems.
Also something I would believe.
Bad optics don't want that.
But the core problem is there's just no jobs.
There's very low unemployment in Sweden.
They got a ton of immigrants that they allowed in, and there's just not enough work for them.
To the job numbers, we had in the intro something like 160,000 asylum seekers, only 500 wound up working in Sweden.
That leaves a lot of unemployed people.
What are they doing and how are they living?
Oh, they live great, Tucker.
I mean, it's one of the most generous, you know, financial programs that they have in terms of the amount of money they're giving to them, the housing benefits they get, the education benefits they get, the cash benefits they get.
So they have these, and what they really become are no-go zones.
These are areas that cops won't even enter because it's too dangerous for them.
This is the policy of the National Police Authority in Sweden.
So they live in these enclaves, which, by the way, are lovely.
They're leafy neighborhoods.
They're beautiful apartments.
And they are sitting around.
You're right.
It's difficult to get jobs.
There's too many of them.
But they have tremendous benefits there, which is why so many of these migrants are going to Sweden to begin with.
Sounds like a bonanza to me.
It sounds like a winner.
Yeah.
And just wrapping it up, again, all these problems taking place, the no-go zones, which I don't think any European country has actually admitted they have no-go zones.
But we know they're there.
We just won't admit that.
Some local municipalities in London, London has no go zones.
England has them.
France has them for sure.
And Belgium has them.
I don't know about Holland.
I don't think so.
Sweden, for sure.
But Malmo's been a no-go zone area.
Malmo's still on fire.
They just keep burning everything.
Here's the wrap-up.
What's the social sanction for saying that out loud?
Can you just say, you know, this isn't working?
Or do people come down on you for saying something like that?
Oh, you can say it, but you're a racist.
You're a xenophobe, right?
You're Islamophobe.
When I was out there, I remember I was at this kind of swanky party in Stockholm, and I started discussing what I was doing there, and the entire party kind of gathered around me and started yelling at me that all those things, I'm a xenophobe, I'm a racist, I'm anti-Islamic.
Even though the statistics were clear about who's making the perpetrators, it doesn't make a difference.
It's very socially unacceptable to make these kind of claims.
There you go.
I love the way that has worked out.
Yeah.
I mean, how it's worked out that if you're a critic of some policy or something that's going on...
You're a racist.
...that you will be labeled by people, by the way.
I should mention in the Berkeley area where I remember when I went to Cal, the whole thing was about stereotyping people.
It was a bad thing.
You should never stereotype people.
But apparently it's okay to call someone a racist, which is stereotyping people, it seems to me.
So a critic of the situation, whatever side they're on, if they're a critic of the policies, you stereotype them as racist, which is just counter to all the preaching that went on all those years.
And I'm always wondering...
It's like how the left becomes so hateful when they're the ones preaching peace and love and no stereotyping.
And it brings me right back to my old theories that people, like my mother was a good example, who constantly read books about positive thinking and talked about positive thinking never had a positive thought in their life.
So I said the same thing about copy editors.
Copy editors are people who get into...
I know we've got them out there.
By the way, I need your help.
But copy editors are people that think if you learn everything you can about the language and how to copy edit it, you could actually be a writer.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
One of those.
And so that's...
The kind of thing I'm seeing here, which is that the left, which is they just keep talking the big game about peace, love, and understanding, and they're anything but.
Yeah, I have a pretty good example of that.
I was on the face bag yesterday.
And there was the artist here, you remember one of the obots, had posted an article.
And the responses, I'm actually looking to see if I can get them verbatim, but I know what they were.
And the responses were basically, oh, can't wait until we can impeach this guy.
And then the next post was, yeah, let's send a really hot intern in.
And then the next post was, yeah, it would be even funnier if we sent a transgendered in.
And so then I'm like, okay.
And I say, hey, do you have an issue with transgendered people?
And, you know, it takes a little while.
The guy comes back.
No, I'm just using humor to the extreme.
I say, oh, okay, humor.
That's okay.
And then he comes back.
Well, if you would listen to the outstanding John Cleese, that humor heals.
The guy just can't admit that he was biased.
Yeah, he's a douche.
And I said, oh, that's okay, man.
Thank you for healing the world one transgender at a time.
Boom.
Head blown up.
Done.
It's crazy, these people.
I mean, that is...
I was shocked by that.
I was shocked.
Really?
That's what you think is funny?
Why?
Because transgender people are funnier than black people or gay people or I don't know.
That's funnier to you?
Yes, well...
People are ill.
People are ill.
So let's listen to this little clip here, because I wanted to get this McCain thing.
McCain was at the big meeting.
It was in Munich, I think.
Yeah, it's the big security conference where everybody goes.
Big conference where everybody's there.
I want to play.
This is John Dickerson on the CBS News talking to Scott Pelley, and he mentions McCain in here, and then I have this clip of McCain I want to play.
Wait a minute.
I got the Pelley thing first?
Yeah, Dickerson, Pelley, McCain.
Play that.
Okay, I gotcha.
Secretary, nominee to withdraw.
Didn't attack the judiciary.
It seems like the common denominator of Mr.
Trump's woes is the Constitution.
That's right.
The problem is the Constitution.
Is that what Pelley just said?
It seems like the common denominator of Mr.
Trump's woes is the Constitution.
That's right.
He's feeling the constraints that all presidents feel.
He's using enemy, a word that Richard Nixon used, but in private.
And you're right that the courts have done that.
And now the courts have also pinched what he wants to do in the future as he thinks about what his thoughts are.
and Republican senators were the ones who knocked down his labor secretary, and now John McCain is undermining the president's credibility overseas.
The media is a good punching bag, but it also is a protected American institution, and it was the— Yeah, sure it is.
Okay, so now he goes on and on, and it's a weird conversation.
But here's McCain at that meeting.
This is McCain slamming Trump in Munich.
Significant assurances that he or she would have authorities over the personnel of the organization.
Also in Munich, John McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said the White House is losing control.
The Flynn issue obviously is something that shows that in many respects this administration is in disarray and they've got a lot of work to do.
Petraeus will meet with Defense Secretary James Mattis in Munich as the administration continues its search for Flynn's replacement.
Yep.
What is McCain doing?
He's a Republican?
Yep.
He is slamming his own president, the president of the United States, who's a Republican, and while he's in office, McCain is making these kind of comments?
This guy is terrible.
He said more.
I watched a lot of that conference.
Sadly, nowhere could I find, apparently, Bono introduced McCain.
And this video is nowhere to be found.
I want to see what Bono had to say.
Nowhere to be found.
The only reference is when McCain started off, and he started off With an inappropriate joke.
Just, like, a 1962 joke.
Thank you again for that kind introduction, and may I say, trying to follow Bono is, reminds me of the story of the actress Zsa Zsa Gabor's fifth husband, who on her wedding night said, I know what I'm supposed to do, I just don't know how to make it interesting, so...
What?
What?
What is that joke?
Well, the joke was referring to him, of course.
Yeah.
He figures he knows he's supposed to speak up to everybody.
He doesn't know how to make it interesting, although he did so by slamming Trump, the Republican president, and McCain being a Republican senator.
Who's he really working for?
Besides, we know who he's working for.
He's working for the military-industrial intel axis.
This McCain guy is just getting on my nerves.
And they keep bringing him up.
All the news shows, it's always McCain and Graham.
McCain and Graham.
There's only two Republicans that keep cropping up in all the mainstream news.
Especially McCain.
I just wanted to listen to this complete New World Order passage from McCain's speech.
From the ashes.
From the ashes.
Of the most awful calamity in human history was born what we call the West.
A new and different and better kind of world order.
One based not on blood and soil nationalism or spheres of influence or conquest of the weak by the strong, but rather on universal values, rule of law, open commerce, and respect for the national sovereignty and independence.
Indeed, The entire idea of the West is that it is open to any person or any nation that honors and upholds these values.
The unprecedented period of security and prosperity that we have enjoyed for the past seven decades Didn't happen by accident.
It happened not only because of the appeal of our values, but because we backed them up with our power and persevered in their defense.
Our predecessors did not believe in the end of history or that it bends inevitably towards justice.
That's up to us.
That requires our persistent, painstaking effort, and that's why we come to Munich year after year after year.
Come on, the new board order!
Yes!
That guy's all in.
If anyone looked at that, what he said there, and dissected it, he self-contradicts.
He says it's not based on nations, but it is based on nations.
Of course it is, yes.
The whole thing, the guy is a stooge for the military-industrial intel axis.
Yes, he is.
I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on no agenda in the morning.

Thank you again to everybody who supports this program.
It is your program, after all.
You are the producer.
Ah, I learned something really new that I did not know.
Yes, about Orthodox Jews.
Orthodox Jews?
Jews, yes.
The Erov.
Erov.
E-R-U-V. The Erov.
I had no idea this was taking place.
When you are an Orthodox Jew, you can, of course, not perform any duties on the Sabbath.
Now, I knew that in Manhattan on Friday, elevators would often stop on every single floor automatically.
You could not program it because that would be not allowed under Jewish rule.
I've heard this.
Yeah.
But that is no longer necessary, certainly in New York, in Manhattan, as they have come up with a ruse, which I think is just beautiful.
One of the prohibited activities on the Sabbath is something called carrying.
The rabbis realized the difficulty in enjoying the Sabbath if you weren't allowed to carry outside of the house.
And therefore they created a construct in which the area in which the Jews lived was enclosed first by a wall or a fence, And then eventually by a symbolic wall or fence, which was created by setting up two poles and a string on the top of the two poles.
And that imaginary wall served to religiously enclose the neighborhood and to allow Jews to carry within that neighborhood.
The Aruv that began in 1999 as a small community Aruv on the Upper West Side is now the Aruv that encloses almost all of Manhattan from 126th Street all the way down to the southern tip of Manhattan.
The rabbi goes early in the morning on Thursday to check the entire enclosure to make sure that the strings and the poles are all exactly where they need to be.
And then he, at the end of that, identifies places that might need to be repaired.
If there is a place that needs to be repaired, but I'm happy to report that our Aruv I didn't know this was going on.
And they're all over the world, these Arabs.
I like that.
That's pretty interesting.
It's a workaround.
It's a hack.
It's a life hack.
It's a Jew hack.
Jew hack is what it is.
Jew hack.
Yeah, I like it.
Very innovative.
Very innovative.
I want to call it innovative.
It's cheating.
Oh, you know, our president, just like our previous president, has a podcast.
I call it the Trumpcast.
Yeah, he's got the Trump cast.
So you're going to be the guy listening to it.
I always watch the Trump cast, yeah.
I picked a little, just a short little clip out of his Trump cast, something I did not know.
I didn't know that we were actually in a pro-woman program with Trudeau.
I mean, I can't believe it.
I thought that this is the most misogynistic president in history.
Xenophobe, too.
Xenophobe.
I don't understand.
But to truly succeed as a country, we must realize the full potential of women in our economy.
That is why I was thrilled to host the White House's Women's Business Leaders Roundtable.
Very exciting.
Great women.
Very exciting.
The broads were off the hook, baby.
Roundtable.
Very exciting.
Great women.
As president, I am committed to ensuring that women entrepreneurs have equal access to the capital, markets, and networks of support that they need, and I mean really need, and it's going to happen.
This is a priority for my administration.
I campaigned on helping women in the workforce And we are going to deliver on that promise, believe me.
In fact, as part of my first official meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, this week we announced the creation of the Joint United States-Canada Council for Advancement of Women Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders.
Actually, very exciting.
Joe, the broads are crazy in this little group.
I didn't know that.
I hadn't heard about this.
Yeah, I'm not going to tell you nothing.
I didn't get a clip of it, but there was...
But there was a big meeting, a big confab.
They had all the governor, the senators, everything from West Virginia and Kentucky.
And I wish I didn't get this clip.
I just realized it.
And it was only covered by Fox.
And Trump was there, and they were signing off on somehow he managed to do some sort of an executive order or something.
It was some sort of something.
He got to lift all the bans on coal mining in those states.
Yeah.
And so all the coal miners are going back to work, and we're going to get back to burning coal somehow.
Is that not possible?
He tried to tear down all the coal burning facilities.
I need to ask you a couple questions here.
So this was a big battleground in the election.
We had Trump saying, hey, I'm going to get your coal back.
We're going to get our coal jobs back.
Is this not possible?
No, it is possible that he's going to do that.
But the problem is, what are you going to do with the coal?
Obama did his best to shut down most of the coal-burning facilities, although I guess he didn't shut that many down because they're still around, and they're on the West Coast, we've got them, and they're all over the place.
But the ones he did shutter, I think can be rebuilt with his floating bed technology, which really cuts down the pollution to an extreme.
Is that part of the clean coal technology, the elusive clean coal technology?
It's kind of elusive still.
Yes, well, coal's dirty.
Thank you.
It's a rock.
I've always been fascinated by coal ever since years and years ago when I, one of the first trips I took with PC Magazine UK to the hinterlands of England where they were in some giant facility, some big castle or something.
It was government owned.
And they had these fireplaces.
There was like four of them lined up in a row.
And they're all burning coal to keep the place warm.
And you'd go and it's the first time I actually saw a coal fire or paid attention to one anyway.
And I looked at it.
This is the most beautiful fire imaginable for having burning in front of you.
So it turns out that this house I have here there was a coal burning thing you can put in your fireplace.
So it's like a It's hard to explain what it looks like, but you put it in, and then you load it up with coal, and you light it up.
I used to be able to get coal.
Coal is a rock that burns, and it's got to be the most miraculous thing you've ever done.
And you can start a coal burning fire, a coal fire in this area, Berkeley.
You end up, it kind of stinks up the neighborhood, but nobody knows what it is.
They just think of some random smell because nobody around here knows what burning coal smells like.
So you can burn a bunch of coal and it's a fantastic product to burn because once you get it going, which is not easy, but once you get it going, it just burns and burns and burns for hours and hours and hours.
It doesn't have to be tended.
Fabulous product.
I was watching the, I think it's a Netflix original, The Crown.
Maybe it's an Amazon original.
And I like this period piece, although I've never watched, what is that, Downton Abbey, I've never watched that.
So I started watching this, Tina and I were watching this, and there was an interesting piece in this, because it's historical, it's about Churchill, where Churchill did not want anyone to know about the horrible weather report That in combination with the coal that was burning in London resulted in the London fog,
which killed 3,000 people because the fog settled down on top of London and no one was warned to stop stoking coal fires and so they asphyxiated pretty much.
Interesting story.
I didn't know that the London fog was related to Churchill.
I didn't know it was related to Churchill either.
Yeah, it's a pretty good series.
I have not double-checked the validity of that, but it seems doable.
It could be falsely accused.
It could be fake news.
Hey, hey, well...
Fake old news.
Let's talk about fake news for a moment before I go.
Don Lemon, now this looks a little better on video, but the audio, I shortened it up and it's good enough.
Don Lemon was talking about, you know, I can't even watch CNN anymore.
The overnight legend is talking about the cost of the Trump travel.
Oh, what a horrible man.
He was bitching and moaning about Obama's cost, and now he has the winter White House, and it's costing so much money, which is true.
The valid point, I don't know if it's the most important thing in the world.
And so he's talking, what's that guy, the black guy, Paris, what's his last name?
He's with the Trump, he's an insider.
I don't know.
He and Omarosa are, you know, like the blacks.
They're the blacks inside the administration.
And so he says, Lemon said, what do you think about this, Paris?
What do you think about this great story?
Paris, what do you think?
I think this is fake news.
This is not a news story.
Tell me what about it is fake, Paris.
Are we going down this road again?
Yeah, we are.
Come on, Paris.
I won't interrupt any of you all.
Let me just tell you why.
The president is not breaking any laws and he's not doing anything.
It's not his fault.
Okay, Paris, hold on.
Let me ask you this.
No, no, no.
Let me ask you this.
I'm going to let you finish.
I'm going to let you finish.
Do you actually know what the definition of fake news is?
What we're doing right now.
That's one of the best.
His timing is impeccable, too.
It's more the satellite timing, but what we're doing right now, that's fake news.
I'm going to let you finish.
Do you actually know what the definition of fake news is?
What we're doing right now.
No, okay, but then you are part of the fake news because you are on the network and you're part of the...
No, no, no.
Fake news is when you...
Hang on, let me explain to people out there watching and you what fake news is.
Fake news is when you put out a story to intentionally deceive someone and you know that it is wrong.
I don't know of anyone who has put out a story in the mainstream media that I can think of right now.
To intentionally deceive anyone.
Now, people get things wrong.
Sources sometimes come up empty.
But no one that I know has put out anything to intentionally deceive someone.
There is nothing fake about that.
Please stop it with that stupid talking point that it is a fake news story.
If you don't want to participate in the news stories on this network, then don't come on and participate.
But don't call them fake because you don't agree with them.
Go on.
Don, this is a fake news story, in my opinion, because the underlying assumption is that...
Thank you very much, everyone.
Thanks, everyone.
Thanks for watching.
Have a great weekend.
Good night, all.
Oh, and then he storms off.
He just storms off the set because...
I just can't believe he said that.
Oh, my God.
Fake news.
Exactly.
Fake news.
All right, so let's talk about two worlds.
Ah, alternative universes.
We probably could do this forever.
Well, uh...
And you're the one that said, let's look out for it.
I found one.
Yes, I'm the one that's always seeing that.
Yeah.
Well, here is PBS Two Worlds intro.
Ooh, okay.
Hold on.
PBS Two Worlds intro.
I'm excited about this.
Back from a reporting trip to Texas.
He's here with me now.
So what exactly did you set out to do?
We wanted to talk to voters on both sides of the political spectrum.
So we were in Texas.
We went to two very different places.
And I asked people basically four, five, six questions.
Identical questions in both places.
And as you'll see, it's as if voters are living in two completely different worlds.
Let's take a look.
Where did this alternate universe story come from?
Came from the alternate universe.
Yes!
We love this, John.
All right.
All right, so let's start with...
The right.
This is part of the fake universe, or the fake universe.
The fake universe!
The alternate universe that is the right, all the...
I would say that would be the Trumpites.
Okay.
Belleville, Texas is a small, rural town an hour's drive from Houston.
Its streets are lined with single-family homes and locally owned shops.
But a recently renamed restaurant in town has become something of an attraction.
The Trump Cafe.
So you changed the name to Trump Cafe two weeks before the election?
Before, yes, sir.
What if Trump hadn't won the election?
We don't...
You know, actually, we pray for God till he wins.
I'm so glad he wins.
I'm so glad, you know.
So if Hillary Clinton had won, would this be Clinton Cafe?
No, I will move back home.
Suhawa owns the place with her husband.
Trump memorabilia is everywhere.
The big seller on the menu is the Trump burger.
Onion ring, barbecue sauce, bacon, topped with an American flag.
As you might imagine, the Trump Cafe is full of Trump supporters.
Eighty percent of the county here voted for the president.
How was election night for you?
Oh, it was great.
Man, I was on cloud nine.
I was a Trump guy from day one.
Is that right?
Day one?
Yeah, from day one.
As soon as he said it, I was like, you know, we need something other than a politician.
It goes on.
They talk to a million people.
This is a long report.
Yeah, I like it.
So this is a little town outside of Houston.
So now they got to do the other side of it, which is the left, which is the other universe.
And golly, I wonder what town.
Can you take a guess maybe at what town they decided to go visit?
How about Austin?
Bingo!
A hundred miles west and a political world apart is Austin, the state capital, a liberal outpost in this red state.
We visited what's perhaps Austin's version of the Trump Cafe, the Bolden Creek Cafe, a vegetarian place in South Austin.
Oh, this is man bun heaven.
What a...
This is Douchebag Cafe, is what they should have called it.
Please.
The Bolden Creek Cafe, a vegetarian place in South Austin.
You have to like, that place is horrible.
It's horrible.
It's a horrible place.
Man Bun Cafe.
It's a Man Bun Cafe is what it is.
The Bolden Creek Cafe, a vegetarian place in South Austin.
Two-thirds of the county here voted for Hillary Clinton.
Chesley Allen is the general manager.
The Bolden Creek Cafe.
Kind of the nexus or the heart of what people think of when they think of Austin.
It's the offbeat, funky, keep Austin weird.
That's where we are.
Who's this immigrant?
He's not from Austin.
This guy is the owner, I think, or co-owner of the cafe.
Oh, he's ground zero of man bun.
Funky, keep Austin weird.
That's where we are.
That's where you are.
The day after President Trump's inauguration, the cafe donated profits to the ACLU, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and Planned Parenthood.
Because I'm pretty sure that I fit almost every demographic that's going to be ruined by this administration, that I feel like I have to speak out.
What was election night like for you?
Brutal, devastating, heartbreaking.
If I were to have a nightmare that night, then my nightmare would be a reality, because I definitely didn't want Trump to win.
My big fear with him is that he's coming out fast and hard with a lot of big stuff, but...
It goes on.
Maybe Kim Jong-un can refocus.
Remember he had that map with Austin on it to shoot the intercontinental ballistic missile?
Really?
Please.
Bomb the man bun.
Now, bomb the man bun.
Finally, the show title.
It took a moment.
I'm there.
It took a while.
I got it.
I got it.
Bomb the man bun.
So the one thing that you kept cropping up at this place that you hate, the Bolden Cafe, whatever it is.
Can I tell you about this place for a moment?
I was just going to say that there's a lot of people that are scared.
They're scared.
Oh, jeez.
Anyway, go.
Yes, tell us, please.
You've been there.
You're in the area.
You're in the vicinity.
You frequent this place.
Yeah.
This is like a hippie, yippie place.
And you go in and you pay one price, which is like $12, and you eat whatever they're serving.
And they have the plates and the cutlery.
It's like being in someone's really big home.
And nothing matches.
You want something to drink?
I like those places.
Nothing matches.
Nothing matches.
You can have water or chai.
Chai.
I want some chai.
Is it chai-free?
I'd like a Coke.
No, it's all one price.
Oh, Coke?
No way.
They don't serve Coke.
No.
And, you know, the food is bland, and it's a...
It needs salt.
Yeah, and there's no salt.
We can't have salt.
If you sit at picnic tables, and it's just a degenerate, lame-ass, no-good, hippie-yippie man-bun thing, and it's just, it's no good.
Sounds great!
Are you kidding me?
That's where you go after yoga.
No, I just had some, I just did some yoga, and I'm gonna go and have to have to have the Baldwin Cafe.
There's a lot of MILFs in there with the Lululemon outfits.
Eh.
Lame.
That's right.
I'll tell you where to go.
Man, the bigotry comes out in you.
That's right.
That's right.
We knew it.
You're a Trump supporter.
I'm a Trump lover.
You're just apologizing for Trump screw-ups.
Now, standing up for the rights of the Trump.
Unexpected?
Whoopi Goldberg.
Whoopi Goldberg.
After something horrible happened, this is just to show you what assholes some people can be.
Tiffany Trump went to the New York Fashion Week and no one would sit next to her.
Like she had eczema in school.
Remember that?
In school, you always had that one guy and he had not eczema.
What's the horrible scaly disease?
What's that?
Scabbies?
Maybe it is scabbies.
I don't know.
Yeah, there was one kid, Jonathan.
I remember this very well.
I was five years old.
Five or six.
You do ring around the rosie.
You need a hug.
Yeah, you do ring around the rosie.
No one wanted to hold on to Jonathan's hand because you'd be left with all these skin.
Yeah, leprosy.
It was nasty.
Um...
So that's how they treated her, and Whoopi Goldberg comes to her defense.
At a Fashion Week show on Monday, Tiffany Trump was left sitting alone after...
This is a report from people.com, by the way.
At a Fashion Week show on Monday, Tiffany Trump was left sitting alone after several magazine editors moved their seats to be further away from Donald Trump's daughter.
Christina Binkley, a former Wall Street Journal columnist, tweeted this picture showing the empty seats.
And Nikki Oganake, the senior fashion editor at Elle, tweeted that the show started late because of chaotic seating changes.
Snub then became the subject of discussion on Wednesday's The View.
Whoopi Goldberg, who's been an outspoken political opponent to Donald Trump, had this to say to Tiffany.
I'm supposed to go to a couple more shows.
I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm coming to sit with you.
You know what?
I don't want to talk about your dad, but girl, I will sit next to you because I've been there where people say, we're not going to sit next to you.
I'll find your answers.
Later on that day, Tiffany Trump responded to Goldberg on Twitter saying, thank you.
I'd love to sit with you too.
Oh, that's so cute.
Yeah, yeah.
That was a nice turn of events there.
The human thing they did.
Can you believe that they would not sit next to her?
That's incredible.
It's for stupid fashion.
And here's the other thing.
You're in the business.
They say the magazine editors, nobody wants to sit next to her.
Wouldn't you want to sit next to her?
Yes!
Yes!
Thank you!
If you're a journalist of any level, of any opinion, you could be a lefty or righty, anything in between, wouldn't you want to sit next to her to maybe get some gossip, maybe pick up something instead of shunning her like that?
That is ridiculous.
No, it's true.
They were worried about the psoriasis.
That's the word.
Psoriasis.
Oh.
Yeah.
What is it called?
The agony of psoriasis?
There's something about psoriasis.
Chatroom knows this.
It's a little phrase they use in the commercials.
Oh, yeah.
Something of psoriasis.
Come on, chatroom.
You can do it.
Oh, wow.
A rare call-out by John C. Dvorak for the chatroom.
Waiting for the delay, and here it comes.
Here should be the answer.
Heartbreak.
I got it.
Heartbreak.
I beat the chat room.
Yeah, you did beat the chat room.
Final clip I have for today, just because it was really funny, speaking of how these editors and journalists are.
New York Times columnist Charles Blow.
Oh, this guy's gone off the rails.
Yeah, he should be right up there with the other guy, the moderate Negro.
What was that?
Mediocre Negro guy.
Mediocre Negro, yeah.
Was he?
It was Lamont Hill.
Dave.
Lamont Hill.
Yeah, whatever.
So he's on CNN, of course, with Kayleigh McEnany, who's also on CNN, of course.
It's her job now.
She's smart.
She should get something else to do, in my opinion.
And she goes off, and this guy just does something that shows you the fear and the hatred of other people.
In this case, white people.
I'm sorry, I have to say.
You're a long-time Trump supporter.
I remind you all the time what's your response.
Look, I mean, you're always very kind to me, and I'm on here a lot, and you give me a lot of time and are fair to me.
I think some of my left-wing counterparts are very unfair to Trump.
I think any time there's any sort of vagueness or gaps in the facts, when there's leaks, for instance, they insert sinister suspicion where it does not belong.
I don't think it's you, but I do think some of my left-wing commentators who I disagree with ideologically do that.
The fact that you touched me before you said that is wrong.
Don't do that.
Don't touch me and then say you're going to launch into your sinister motivations diatribe.
That's not going to happen tonight, ma'am.
I didn't realize there's a one-inch barrier where I'm not allowed to get close to you.
Now I know, so I'll scoot over this way.
You can scoot until you fall off that ledge.
What I'm telling you is don't touch me.
So she touched him.
When she was talking about it.
It's one of those things where you're saying that you're accepted.
You probably touched him on the arm.
Yeah.
The way women do commonly.
Yes.
It's exactly what she did.
It's a reassurance touch.
Yeah.
The very kind thing that you would do.
People do it all the time.
It's no big deal.
But this asshole says that to her for doing that?
Yes.
Yes.
This guy has lost it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's very annoying.
All right.
I have a couple leftovers that I want to get to anyway.
All right.
I'll go.
Okay.
I got a couple.
Actually, let me look at the distance.
We could almost do a clip blitz.
Oh.
We can do that.
We haven't done that in a while.
In fact, we can because these are all shorties.
Okay.
Well, hold on a second.
I got four.
We got four or five.
We can do four.
Red, 33.
Clip blitz, everybody.
That's right.
John C. DeVorex got the clips to wrap it up for this Sunday.
Clip blitz!
China does something about North Korea.
China does something about North Korea.
Restricting North Korea's economic options, China, the insular country's largest trading partner, has banned all coal imports from North Korea for the rest of the year.
This after Pyongyang launched its latest ballistic missile test a week ago.
Beijing has come under pressure from the new US administration to use its influence on its coal Controversial neighbor, the UN demands North Korea stop testing missiles and end its nuclear weapon development program.
More East Congo killings.
Reports of violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Local officials and activists say militiamen from the Nande ethnic group killed civilians in the country's embattled east.
The local representative of the governor of North Kivu province told AFP 25 people were killed overall in and around the village of Khegala, all of them Hutu civilians.
Most were killed by machete, and one woman...
Machete?
Machete?
33!
Blip blip!
NATO fees.
No funding.
The U.S. vice president told his counterpart that the alliance's partners must step up their contributions.
Oh, my God.
We vowed in that treaty to contribute our fair share to our common defense.
The promise to share the burden of our defence has gone unfulfilled for too many, for too long, and it erodes the very foundation of our alliance.
The US and only four other NATO members out of 28 meet the basic standard of payment, which is 2% of GDP. Those four countries are the UK, Estonia, Greece and Poland, while the other 23 countries are ignoring the so-called membership fee, according to the US. Last one, landslide irony.
All the rainfall poured out of this public parking garage in Los Angeles.
This is at the Glendale Galleria.
It looks like a waterfall in San Bernardino County tonight.
This landslide is the size of three football fields.
This is in the Slide Canyon area above Forest Falls.
The landslide is threatening four homes and a fire station.
The rain is expected to taper off over the weekend, only to return on Monday.
So somebody's building houses or whatever in Slide Canyon.
Yeah.
Hello.
Hello, Captain Obvious.
Maybe it's dangerous to build here.
It says Slide Canyon.
No, it's named after Jethro Slide, the guy who used to live here.
Oh, is that it?
Yeah, sure.
Slide Canyon.
It's named Slide Canyon for a reason.
Yeah.
Anyway, so they build there anyway.
That's Los Angeles.
That's my click list for the day.
Nice one, John.
Very nice.
Like a lot.
Very good.
Anything to watch?
No, there's nothing to watch, I don't think.
Yes, the basketball all-star game today.
Oh, okay.
Oh, that's always fun.
Yeah, that's always fun.
The reason for that is because there's a situation that might occur because there's four Golden State Warriors on this team, which is adult.
And there's this one guy that hates the Warriors, and he's also on the second string, and they could put him in with four Warriors, and everybody wants to see what happens.
Yeah.
There's a lot of feuds in that little mix.
Okay, and this is where we get the MVP of the game, and then that guy gets his own line of tennis shoes, right?
Is that how it works?
Well, they've all got their own line of tennis shoes by now.
Is my brother from another mother in this game?
Is he?
Steph?
Oh, Steph.
Oh, Steph Curry's the Curry's.
Yes.
Yes, of course.
He's the starting.
He's the starter.
He's the starting point guard.
Yeah, I got a root for my brother from another mother.
He'll be playing for a few minutes.
I don't think they're going to leave him in too long.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay, everybody.
