	It's actually very good.
	I'm so surprised.
	Adam Couric, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, February 23rd, 2017.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 906.
	This is no agenda.
	Hitting refreshed so you don't have to.
	And broadcasting live from the darkest corners of the Internet here in FEMA Region 6, downtown Austin, Tejas, capital of the drone star state in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, I'm John C. Devorak.
	It's Craig Vaughn and Boothkill in the morning.
	It's not raining.
	Isn't it just a continuous rainstorm in there in California? - Virginia?
	No, it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
	It's unbelievable.
	Oh, that's nice.
	Fabulous.
	So I mentioned in the opening, I am hitting refresh.
	I might as well tell everybody now, people who hear this a day later, the Project Veritas CNN Leaks Part 1 is due today.
	I can see they have the page up, but they don't have the clips yet.
	Yeah.
	But I know...
	It's taking them so long.
	It's already 12 noon in New York City.
	They're going to miss the deadline for the newspaper.
	There's a couple of things about this, though.
	First of all, these are recordings from 2009.
	I don't think that's all that spectacular.
	No.
	Eight years ago.
	Like, okay.
	No, that's not going to be any good.
	They need stuff from last year where they're saying, what are we going to do with this story?
	Find some Trump angle and then blast him and then get somebody on, get this guy on and have him say these things.
	As I was talking with Tina about this last night, What's so interesting is that probably what you will hear on these CNN leaks from in the control room or wherever these things are recorded is going to be pretty similar to the way we act when we talk like television executives.
	I mean, you're already prepared for it.
	You know what it's going to be.
	Yeah.
	Hey, hey, hey, hey!
	Tell her to cover up those legs!
	It's horrendous to look at!
	You know, that kind of stuff.
	Yeah.
	It's like...
	Something like that.
	Right.
	If that's what it is, then all they're doing is...
	That's not valuable.
	It'll be funny as hell.
	Maybe.
	Oh, come on.
	Well edited.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's...
	If they have any problems, it's their editing.
	That's always been an issue.
	They always mess that up.
	So anyway, I'm looking forward to it.
	And of course, we'll parse through it.
	They certainly make a big deal about it.
	Yeah, if it's back that far, it's not going to be that good.
	Yeah, I don't think so either.
	I think they really need to reconsider.
	Well, maybe it's that good, even though it's that far.
	I don't know.
	We'll see.
	Always interesting.
	Do I have clips?
	Yeah, actually.
	Essentially what we're talking about, by the way, we're talking about the CNN thing.
	Bloopers are real.
	That's what I think it is.
	No, I don't think it's...
	Bloopers?
	It may be stuff that's recorded and wasn't broadcast, like eye-rolling and that kind of stuff, or blatant favoritism.
	Sexism.
	I think sexism is what I would be expecting.
	Boy, she's got some big ones, that girl.
	Hey, tell her to show those cans.
	Come on, open up one more button, please.
	Exactly.
	That's how it goes.
	We joke about this.
	We've been doing it for 10 years.
	That's exactly how it works.
	Yeah.
	It's true.
	We don't have to delve into it too much, but I do want to bring up Milo for a moment.
	Oh, well, if you want to do that, then I might as well start it off with the Milo hit piece that was done on CBS. As an editor at the far-right website Breitbart, Milo Yiannopoulos declared war on political correctness.
	But today he learned there are limits to free expression.
	Jim Axelrod reports he lost a book deal, a speaking engagement, and resigned from Breitbart.
	It was the first and last time Milo Yiannopoulos promised that he would ever apologize for something he said.
	I regret the things that I said.
	I don't think I've been sorry about anything my whole life.
	The 32-year-old Brit has amassed quite the resume as a provocateur.
	Articles suggesting, if you're obese, you should hate yourself.
	Feminism is Cancer sweatshirts, sold on his webpage.
	Banned from Twitter for hateful attacks against comedian Leslie Jones.
	Well, that was enough to spark protests that shut down his speech at UC Berkeley this month.
	Shut it!
	And to elicit a rather plain-spoken response from comedian Larry Wilmore after Yiannopoulos called him stupid on TV. You can go f*** yourself, alright?
	Wow, that wasn't how that started, by the way.
	They just make it sound like Milo started that.
	Damn.
	And to elicit a rather plain-spoken response from comedian Larry Wilmore after Yiannopoulos called him stupid on TV. Yeah, but you can go f*** yourself.
	It wasn't until yesterday when this old podcast surfaced.
	You're misunderstanding what pedophilia means.
	With the openly gay Yiannopoulos arguing sexual relationships between 13-year-old boys and men in their 20s could be consensual.
	Some of those relationships between younger boys and older men...
	The sort of coming-of-age relationships, the relationships in which those older men help those young boys to discover who they are.
	That Milo Yiannopoulos had ever seen a line he couldn't cross.
	Swiftly, the Conservative Political Action Conference rescinded its invitation for him to speak about free speech, and CBS-owned Simon& Schuster canceled his autobiography and the reported $250,000 advance.
	This last 48 hours has been a horrible and humiliating and degrading experience for me, but I'm going to be around for 30 years.
	Many of the people who are organizing everything they possibly can to take me down will not be.
	Yiannopoulos was...
	You're gonna die before I do!
	...fiant today from start to finish, promising to find another publisher for his book and to continue his controversial tour of college campuses.
	Moving in, but not quite.
	All right, all right.
	Still ahead.
	Thanks, Jim.
	Well, this was very interesting to me for a number of reasons.
	Not the ones I think most people would think of, but right off the top, Milo, he touched the third rail.
	There's some things you just don't do when you're mingling with the elites, and I think it's fairly obvious that he has a direct line to the president through Bannon and Breitbart and all of that.
	Which is probably one of the reasons why he specifically was taken down, because it was a takedown.
	But, you know, when you touch the third rail by talking about pedophilia, that does not go over well.
	There's too much of it in elite circles.
	They don't want the conversation at all, at all, at all, at all.
	And that was the biggest mistake he made.
	Well, it was a mistake he made some time back.
	I mean, I also have the Bill Maher clip where he did the same thing and he didn't.
	Yeah, I have that.
	And there's other clips.
	I do want to do an aside here.
	That $250,000 advance, they showed a picture of the cover.
	This thing has been in play for a while.
	He didn't lose all that money, I can assure you.
	I doubt he lost all that money.
	Now, a typical book deal at that level or higher is a third, third, third deal because they know that once they give you the money, it's really hard to get it back.
	It's almost impossible.
	There's very few book contracts that are written in such a way that the publisher can actually recoup much of that money unless you shoot the publisher.
	Right.
	And then there's nobody to give the money back.
	So generally speaking, that kind of a deal is a third, third, third deal.
	So he got a third of the advance before starting the book.
	Right.
	He didn't get $250 up front.
	The way it works is this.
	You get a third right away.
	Here, that money, you're pretty much keeping that money.
	All right.
	Then you get a third when you deliver the manuscript.
	Yep.
	Or halfway through, so depending.
	And then you get a third when it hits So he got money, but he didn't get his quarter of a billion.
	So moving into kind of the deconstruction of this, because it does warrant a little bit, this was started by an outfit called the Reagan Battalion.
	And thereaganbattalion.com is their website.
	And it's really a collective of the following...
	The Blaise, Daily Wire, The Resurgent, National Review, Red State, Town Hall, Independent Journal, Daily Caller, Conservative Review, Right Scoop, Heat Street, Washington Free Beacon, Washington Examiner, The Weekly Standard, The Capitalist, and The Federalist.
	And they coordinated.
	It was a great takedown.
	I think the resignation came from the administration.
	It's like, dude, you messed up.
	You gotta resign.
	We can't be connected to you anymore.
	Goodbye.
	That's probably true.
	And, you know, the sad thing is, what he was trying to say, and this was an old recording, you know, there's a lot to be said for what he was saying.
	And the terminology has always bothered me when they talk about pedophiles.
	A pedophile is not the same as a pedosexual.
	But no one ever uses the term correctly.
	You know what I mean?
	Go on?
	Otherwise, you would say, I'm a homophile.
	No.
	You're a homosexual.
	You're a pedosexual.
	The file is just someone who's an anglophile, someone who loves something.
	Who's really totally all obsessed with it.
	So the terminology is a little weird.
	So besides Bill Maher, it seems like we have a minor war going on.
	It's like, okay, you're going to take our gay guy?
	Well, we're going to take your gay guy!
	And that'll be George Takei.
	He has to be sacrificed.
	A gay must be sacrificed on the other side of the war.
	Yes.
	You must sacrifice your gay.
	You took our gay down.
	We're going to take your gay down.
	It's all over now.
	We're taking him down.
	But it was well done.
	Extremely well executed.
	I feel bad for him.
	Because the kind of things he says work much better in the UK. It's true.
	There's really no free speech in America.
	There is, but you get penalized for it.
	The thing that people are just aghast about, aghast I tell you, is that the ACLU, my favorite charity, came out and defended Milo.
	As well they should.
	Of course.
	Joining me now to talk about this is Leigh Rowland.
	She's a senior staff attorney with the ACLU Speech, Privacy and Technology Project.
	Welcome to the program.
	Hi, thanks for having me.
	So, what's the case for defending Mr.
	Yiannopoulos in your view?
	Well, the case for Mr.
	Yiannopoulos is the same as it would be for any speaker, no matter how despicable or offensive we might find them, which is the First Amendment protects our rights.
	Hold on a second, hold on.
	Now, I heard this tune.
	I didn't clip it, but I did make a mental note.
	I want you to start it over.
	Okay.
	And I want people to listen to it with this in mind.
	This woman is...
	It's like this is...
	What kind of a client does she have?
	Or what kind of a defender is she when everything she says...
	Well, we're doing this because there are some people out there that are so despicable and disgusting.
	They make you sick.
	And it's gross.
	All she's doing is putting down her client the entire time.
	And it's just, to me, I was just laughing out loud because it's like, why doesn't she just say, well...
	You know, we're defending him because of the free speech issues and all the rest.
	So you don't have to go on and on about how disgusting he is.
	In the second clip, that actually gets better.
	But we'll replay the first one.
	Everyone can keep that in mind.
	Joining me now to talk about this is Lee Rowland.
	She's a senior staff attorney with the ACLU Speech Privacy and Technology Project.
	Welcome to the program.
	Hi, thanks for having me.
	So, what's the case for defending...
	I'm going to say that to you.
	Welcome to the program.
	Welcome to the program, John.
	Welcome to the program.
	Mr.
	Yiannopoulos, in your view.
	Well, the case for Mr.
	Mr. Yiannopoulos is the same as it would be for any speaker, no matter how despicable or offensive we might find them, which is the First Amendment protects our right to speak out on matters of public concern, to talk about things that are as offensive as the things that Mr. Yiannopoulos to talk about things that are as offensive as the things that Mr. Yiannopoulos says without censorship by the government, and ideally, as in his case, without people physically preventing him from speaking at a place where he had
	All right, now listen to her comparison as you nailed it with that analysis.
	Does the ACLU need to do a better job explaining why it's defending him and other cases like this where someone is committing what some would consider hate speech?
	Well, look, I certainly understand that, especially for many of our new members, they may be surprised by the ACLU's robust First Amendment position, but it's certainly not new.
	Indeed, one of our most high-profile and controversial moments in the ACLU's history was defending the rights of literal, self-proclaimed Nazis to march through the streets of Skokie, a town made up largely of Holocaust survivors.
	Oh, okay.
	There you go.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yes.
	The horrible Milo.
	The Horrible Milo.
	Milo the Horrible.
	Maybe that would sound better.
	Milo the Horrible.
	I like it.
	That's actually a short title.
	I'll write it down, but I don't know.
	I'm writing it down.
	Milo the Horrible.
	But there's some rumors that there was a posting apparently on 4chan a day or two before this happens.
	Oh, they're going to take him down.
	And that doesn't surprise me.
	And also, he has the exact same enemies as Trump.
	The whole thing about him being gay and having black boyfriends was very annoying, I think, to a number of people.
	Well, yeah, well, he was flaunting it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, but then being a Trump supporter was obviously a problem.
	Can't have that.
	Because if you want to be a gay...
	Oh yeah, if you're gay, you better not like Trump.
	You can vote for him, but you better not even talk about it.
	Well then, allow me to bring in my gay of the day.
	This is a guy who showed up on Tucker Carlson.
	And now I know Tucker's format.
	It's brilliant.
	Just latch onto one thing someone says, preferably beforehand, something they said or wrote, and just keep asking that over and over again because you know they'll never answer the question.
	And then it just gets funny.
	And you can fit that into like an eight-minute segment.
	It's very smart.
	It really works.
	So here he is with a guy, and I'm saying, you know, a gay because he makes the mistake of starting off the interview talking about his gayness, and, well, Tucker took it from there.
	I think they're definitely making an impact.
	You see, it's called a movement, and as you've noticed, the protests are growing.
	They're getting larger.
	There's multiple protests coming up in reference to Trump's taxes.
	As a gay man, there's LGBT protests coming up in reference to Trump's potential actions against the gay community.
	And it's not a standstill.
	It's a movement.
	And I definitely think, and it's getting to Trump, I would say so as well.
	So what specifically do you mean?
	What are you worried about, as you said, as a gay man?
	What a mistake that guy made.
	What a mistake.
	As a gay man.
	That is also a weird identifier, isn't it?
	Why does that matter?
	Maybe he's trying to pick somebody up at the studio.
	As you said, as a gay man.
	Why bother with gaydar?
	Just tell him.
	Yeah.
	You may not be able to see me, but...
	What is Trump going to do to you as a gay man?
	Well, that was in reference to the upcoming June LA LGBT march.
	But in reference to, you know, today was the Not My President's Day march.
	And because many of us do agree.
	And if you're looking at all these protests that are happening, you see thousands and thousands.
	I look back at the most, the day, the inauguration, sorry, inauguration.
	in the inauguration day march.
	And they were expected to be 50 to 100,000 people.
	Wait, wait, I'm sorry, I want to be polite, but I want to bring you back to the point that I asked about a couple of times.
	So here we go.
	I mean, I often people say, you know, I'm worried as a gay man about Trump, but what specifically does that mean?
	What are you worried about?
	What executive orders has he said he's going to put through that are going to hurt you as a gay man?
	Mike Pence's thoughts are very well known in regards His thoughts are very well known.
	As a gay man, I can read minds.
	And that, of course, refers back to the falsehood that the Republican platform and even laws that Pence put into place allowed for taking money from HIV treatment to conversion therapy.
	None of that is true.
	It is a bold-faced lie.
	Yes, it is.
	Do you like this guy?
	Because I think he's pretty funny.
	Go for it.
	He gets a little flustered later, which is better.
	GBT community.
	And there was an initial report where Trump...
	Look, you threw this out there, so I think it's fair for me to press you.
	Honestly, I feel like Trump isn't even...
	Stop again.
	Now, I'm actually fascinated now by your analysis of his formula.
	anyone gets that he gets away with this this amounts to we've all been acculturated we've been brainwashed by watching all these legal shows on tv yes and one of the elements of the show is that if you can't bring up a certain kind of questioning unless they open the door yeah And so, in other words, the guy brings something up that allows you now to do the deep question because he opened the door.
	Yeah, go ahead.
	We've all been brainwashed for this, and this is what he's using to employ this tactic.
	And I think the audience is already, oh, he opened the door.
	Now Tucker can go after him.
	Yeah, and sometimes Tucker opens the door before the show even starts, I think.
	Well, it still works the same way, but it's like a legal thing.
	It's funny.
	It's a great formula.
	It really works well.
	And the guests come on, never winding up talking about what they wanted to talk about, but getting frustrated, and then he starts laughing at them.
	And that is, I gotta say, it's great TV. We'll see how long it lasts.
	Yeah, there's that, of course.
	You threw this out there, so I think it's fair for me to press you.
	Honestly, I feel like Trump isn't even the president either, and it's very well known in reference to, you know, if you look at his cabinet, Trump's throwing a potential re-election.
	No, he...
	Because he is on that platform to speak for said presidency.
	You know, he's in Florida this past weekend, beginning a re-election campaign, while Mike Pence, as much as I disagree with the man, is actually doing presidential things and, you know, overseas.
	He's meeting with you two, talking about, you know, the aides.
	I thought Pence was the bad one, but now he's the good one?
	He's talking about the aides.
	Mike Pence, have you been talking about the AIDS a lot lately?
	Confused, I thought Pence was the bad one, but now he's the good one?
	The AIDS. You're twisting my words.
	I'm not, you just said, and I'm trying to be fair with you, you just said that you don't think, you're protesting Trump because you're afraid, afraid of what he's going to do, particularly, as you said, as a gay man.
	I asked you, what is he going to do to you as a gay man?
	Well, nothing really, but Mike Pence will, because he talks about the real president.
	My being gay is not the point of this, it was in reference to what you're talking about.
	Wow, he walked right into it, didn't he?
	Why are you harping on that?
	What are you talking about?
	Yes, I did.
	You know, I did.
	And if I was a woman, I'd mention how I was at, you know, the women's process.
	Let's get back to the point that you made.
	What are you talking about?
	Because there are gay people watching and they're thinking, holy smokes, what's Trump going to do to me?
	Do you want to talk about the actual not-my-president's-day protests, or are we just going to go off on a tangent on...
	It's not a tangent, Shane.
	You brought it up.
	I made an off-the-cuff remark about my being a gay man.
	And I feel like I've been talking more about that than the actual protest itself.
	So if we want to get back to talking about the protest, I'm more than happy to.
	Yeah, I think not.
	Who cares about your protest?
	By the way, this was a, the protest, it was on the President's Day.
	I've only found one report on it.
	I don't think it was successful.
	Or nobody wanted to deal with it, which was not my President's Day.
	Right, right.
	If you want, I can do one more.
	I only have one more Tucker segment, but it's...
	I actually have a...
	I ended up poaching, and I went to listen to him too, and I have a couple of Tucker things.
	If you don't have the same ones, I do want to play him, but it's not...
	It's not about his trickery.
	It's actually something interesting.
	I don't mean the trickery thing is not being interesting, but it's got more substantive.
	Okay, so I have not trickery, but triggery, as he triggered another social justice warrior.
	So let's put some intelligence before that.
	So your clip is up.
	Okay, well I have a couple of them.
	Actually, so off topic from this, I think I can bring it in later, so let's move on with your stuff.
	Okay, he had on the organizer of nofascism.org.
	It already sounds like a hilarious...
	Yeah, Sansara Taylor.
	Here's a little intro.
	I was reading your manifesto tonight, and you said this, the Trump regime is a fascist regime, no insults or exaggeration, that's what it is.
	For the future of humanity and the planet, we the people must drive this regime out.
	I'm assuming you're not a moderate, necessarily, but the obvious question arises, which is if it's a...
	It's brilliant.
	And here he comes with the obvious question.
	Like, if you want to really stop fascism, well, I guess you've got to go and kill the guy.
	I mean, that's basically what you would do if you were truly Hitler or something.
	His question arises, which is, if it's a fascist regime, how are you on this show?
	Look, Donald, we're facing an emergency.
	Look, we're facing an emergency.
	She's great, John.
	We're facing an emergency.
	Donald, we're facing an emergency.
	Humanity is facing an emergency.
	A fascist regime has seized the reins of power in the most powerful, actually the sole superpower in the world.
	Trump and Pence are operating out of Hitler's playbook.
	Is that available on Amazon?
	You know, I've been waiting for, I thought it was, I looked and looked for Hitler's playbook.
	Can I get it on Kindle?
	That would be nice.
	And I could not find it.
	Playbook, only they have nuclear weapons.
	And what refusefascism.org is saying to the world is that while it's beautiful, it's righteous that millions of people have stood up in protest and continue to do so.
	And by the way, since I know he sometimes watches, President Trump, if you're watching, way more people have protested than were at your Nazi inauguration.
	For Nazi inauguration.
	Does this woman not understand that that is kind of not the way to go?
	But while this is beautiful, this resistance needs to grow.
	And people need to confront that this is a fascist regime.
	They could drop the hammer and close down.
	It's working aggressively to close down the space for people to stand up and resist.
	And so, in the name of humanity.
	Seven billion on this planet.
	We need to pour into the streets and say no.
	We refuse to accept a fascist America.
	We refuse to accept this for the world, and we must drive them out.
	We need to stay in the streets.
	Actually, there was something she said, which the chatroom picked up.
	I thought I heard it, too.
	Let me just go back here.
	Hold on a second.
	President Trump, if you're...
	Yeah, she says President Trump.
	She doesn't say President Trump.
	She says President Trump.
	Trump, if you're...
	You'll try it again.
	Yeah.
	People have stood up in protest and continue to do so.
	And by the way, since I know he sometimes watches, President Trump, if you're watching way more people...
	He does, he's less chump.
	I gotta write that one.
	President Trump.
	Well, you can only imagine it gets better from here.
	This is, let's see.
	Ah, yes, more on Hitler's playbook and what to do about the use of it.
	A man who campaigned and said, I long for the days when protesters were dragged out on stretchers, who offered to pay the bills of people who assaulted protesters at his rally.
	Donald Trump is a fascist.
	That's out of Hitler's playbook.
	This is a danger.
	Yes, it's in its early stages, but people need to rise up and stop it before it is too late.
	Okay, so I want to get to that.
	Rise up and stop it.
	So I'm assuming that, I mean, you're not serious.
	I mean, this is like play acting for you.
	LARPing.
	That's what it is.
	You're LARPing, girl.
	You're LARPing.
	If you thought he was Hitler, if you really believed that he was acting according to, as you said, the playbook of Hitler, then you wouldn't stop with going on a cable show.
	I mean, you'd go all the way, wouldn't you?
	You don't really think that.
	You'd be committing acts of violence, right?
	I absolutely think.
	Actually, he's not like Hitler.
	He has a Twitter feed, he has that ugly orange thing on top of his head, and he has nuclear weapons, the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world.
	And people better wake up, because he is more dangerous than Hitler ever could have been.
	But let's just be real for a second.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	You implied something, and I want to answer it.
	You implied that I'm going to do something that's untoward, whatever.
	I'm calling for mass political protest and resistance, building on what's happened and staying in the streets in the name of humanity.
	Before the man starts, he asked three times, if I have nukes, why can't I use them?
	This is the mass incineration of human beings on an industrial scale.
	I can see you're spun up here.
	I'll climb against humanity.
	All right, now this is the last one.
	Now he triggers her.
	But she has a couple more.
	She actually, she makes a statement here, which when I heard it, I went, ooh, wow, you've got to be careful with that.
	You should disclaim that because that's slanderous.
	Fascism advances through stages.
	Shock all...
	This is silly.
	You don't oppose fascism with political resistance, but whatever.
	You may not know that.
	Actually, it would have taken millions and millions to rise up to stop Hitler.
	It absolutely would have.
	And it's what people should have done.
	And it is shameful.
	It is shameful for you to dismiss this.
	But hold on.
	I know it's shameful.
	But let me just ask you this.
	No, because I know you love to carry water for this criminal.
	This war criminal wannabe in chief.
	The war criminal wannabe in chief.
	This criminal, she calls him.
	Criminal.
	You can't do that.
	As a public figure, at that level, you can pretty much call him anything you want.
	I have to carry water for this criminal.
	This war criminal wannabe in chief.
	He's itching.
	He's wannabe in chief.
	If he's a wannabe in chief, what's there to worry about?
	She's crazy.
	Oh, she was great.
	But she's very entertaining.
	I really think she's got to get more gigs.
	She's got to get a lot more gigs.
	I agree.
	She's in like 30 more seconds here.
	You find that petty?
	You find that a petty concern that he wants to know.
	It is real.
	Nuclear weapons are as serious as you can be.
	Don't make me cut you off.
	I just want to ask you.
	Okay.
	Opposed to Trump were, I don't know, the hedge fund managers and privileged people like you.
	Did you ever think to yourself, like, why is the middle class...
	Can I tell you something?
	He lost the popular vote.
	He lost the popular vote and no election fair or fraudulent can justify ripping up the rule of law.
	Now, that's very interesting.
	And I don't know why she used that term twice.
	Fair or fraudulent.
	I have a feeling that'll be cropping up.
	It seems to be a talking point of some sort.
	I haven't heard it yet.
	Fair or fraudulent.
	Fair and no election.
	Make a note.
	You're right.
	You can spot these things a mile away.
	Fair or fraudulent.
	There's no reason she would say that a couple of times like that.
	It sounds like a buzzword or buzz term that they've dreamed up.
	He lost the popular vote and no election.
	Fair or fraudulent.
	Fair or fraudulent.
	No election, fair or fraudulent, can justify ripping up the rule of law, undermining the courts, threatening and shutting down the press.
	You're saying that you should throw a duly elected president out of office.
	No, I'm saying people should resist.
	Yes, that's what he means when he says so-called judge.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	I think she's handling him very well.
	Yeah, I like it.
	I think she's borderline kicking his ass here, even though I know the reports about this particular interview and he killed her.
	No, there's none of that.
	I'm not saying that.
	But I agree with you.
	She would be a fine addition to the Octobox on CNN. I think she would be great in there.
	I'm not thinking that so much as just an MSNBC commentator, although that wouldn't get her the attention.
	She's not ready for a show yet.
	She's not ready for that.
	She's not ready for a show.
	Well, no, but I think you bring her on, you bring her on, and then you train her, and maybe she should do a substitute hosting job once.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's a good idea.
	And then she's just nuts.
	Perfect.
	I mean, this is, you know, people don't understand.
	This is good television.
	Totally.
	And she looks good.
	Yeah, she's a good-looking presenter.
	I agree.
	We'll just finish this up.
	Yes, that's what he means when he says so-called judge.
	That's what he means when he fires an attorney general who disagrees with his laws.
	What I want to do is get to how you think.
	What you want to do is normalize fascism.
	What you want to do is try to caricature and dismiss people who are telling the truth.
	Thanks, though.
	Yeah, I agree.
	If you're living in one universe of these multiple alternates available, I think you totally think that she kicked his ass.
	I can see that.
	I think she did.
	She did a pretty good job.
	I mean, we straddle.
	All the time.
	We're not the other...
	We're not the types who are locked into a universe or locked into this universe or that universe.
	Because of the nature of our show, we straddle as best we can.
	It's not that easy.
	To straddle the two universes and kind of like a surfer on two surfboards with two different waves is not easy.
	But that's what I think we do.
	So I think I can say that.
	I agree with you.
	I think you're totally right.
	Yeah.
	More than he can handle.
	So I'll roll right into this clip, which is a follow-on on the entire 25th Amendment move, which is being taken more seriously than you can imagine.
	It really is.
	And George Clooney's handler, Kristoff, what's his first name?
	Bill?
	Bill.
	Bill Kristoff?
	Is it Bill Kristoff?
	No, not Bill Kristoff.
	Nicholas.
	Nicholas Kristoff.
	Nick Kristoff.
	Chris, Nick, something.
	Is this the guy, the kind of guy with the pot-marked face?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	That's not his last name.
	It's something else.
	I can't remember what it is either.
	Well, maybe I'm confused.
	Anyway, he wrote an article about this, an op-ed in the New York Times.
	That's Kristoff.
	That's the writer.
	He's not Clooney's handler.
	Yeah, he is.
	He did all the stuff with Clooney in Somalia.
	Well, I mean, there's a writer named Kristoff, which I think is what you're thinking of.
	I don't know.
	I don't know either.
	So let's just play it.
	Let's just play the clip.
	You've got to have notes.
	Well, that's what my note says here.
	New York Times Kristoff.
	That was my note.
	If he's the New York Times guy, he's not Clooney's handler.
	Who was Clooney's handler then?
	It was that guy he was on the talk shows with.
	It has a name similar.
	Oh, okay.
	You're right.
	But he's not a writer for the New York Times.
	You're right.
	You're right.
	I think you're right.
	Okay, here he is.
	This guy's name is Nicholas Kristol.
	You write in your latest piece, it's called, How Can We Get Rid of Trump?
	You look at just that.
	What did you learn?
	Well, so everybody talks about impeachment.
	The cleaner route, if there's a crisis, is the 25th Amendment, Section 4, which has never been implemented, but essentially allows the cabinet, by a majority vote, to decide to oust the president.
	But then, if the president protests, it has to be backed by a two-thirds vote of both chambers of Congress.
	That's a pretty uphill struggle.
	Why'd you write about that?
	Because I think there's a deep sense now, there's so many folks who are really distressed by the way this is going, who see President Trump as fundamentally different from so many other leaders.
	You know, I had a leader of a friendly, allied country call me up the other day, and he skipped the preliminaries and said immediately...
	What the expletive is wrong with your country.
	And he's worried, and I think a lot of Americans are too.
	No mention on who that was.
	It's bullcrap.
	Yeah, of course.
	But he's propagating the 25th Amendment meme.
	It keeps going.
	It's impossible.
	Talk about a pipe dream.
	Yeah, wow.
	Okay, let's look at this objectively.
	First of all, the entire cabinet has a mutiny.
	Now, they're all hand-picked by Trump to begin with, including some really kind of, you know, Betsy DeVos is going to want to turn on him?
	No, but how about Pence?
	He could be the ultimate Manchurity candidate.
	Pence could, but that's not the way it's put out.
	He has to just join the mutiny.
	It still has to be, as far as I can tell, the...
	His cabinet has to turn on him.
	And then Pence has to join in.
	And then, after that happens, and they've locked him up, Captain Queeg has now been mutinied.
	He says, no, no, no, I don't want to do this.
	Captain Queeg?
	Captain Queeg.
	Captain Queeg, Mutiny, the good show, I can't think of the name of it.
	Mutiny on the Bounty.
	Some in the chat room, Captain Queeg, tell them what the name of that movie was.
	Mutiny on the Bounty.
	No, no.
	Mutiny on the Bounty was not Captain Queeg.
	That was Christian or whatever it was.
	Oh, you're right.
	Cain Mutiny.
	Thank you, Cain Mutiny.
	Thank you, Chad.
	You didn't help me at all.
	Okay, so he's got the situation.
	They've turned on him and he says, no, I refuse.
	I appeal.
	As if he's going to do that instead of just punch someone.
	And then now it's got to go to Congress and two-thirds?
	Yeah.
	Well, after the public voted this guy in through the, you know, the main, the red states all voted for Trump, two-thirds of, I don't care about the Senate, they can't vote two-thirds anything, but two-thirds of the House What?
	Are you kidding me?
	It all depends.
	Look, you saw all those people who were lined up, all those organizations who were lined up against Milo.
	Those are all Republican organizations.
	The majority.
	And, you know, they can totally convince people this is what the media does.
	Look, one universe is already complete.
	It's not even that.
	You just got to bring someone over to the alternate universe.
	That's all it takes, and everything falls into place.
	And one way they may do it, again, it's a long shot, but they're...
	A long shot is not even within the realm of possibility.
	I'm just going to...
	Look.
	Hear me now.
	Believe me later.
	It may not be in the realm of possibility, but I think we're going to hear this for a little bit longer.
	And here's the tactic I believe they may take, because the reports are showing up again.
	The first analysis of the President's problem stems from the medical analysis of long-winded speech That is typically an early sign of Alzheimer's, which I thought was kind of a lame track.
	But what I read in New Republic, from multiple physicians who have taken notice of Trump's bizarre, volatile behavior, given our experience, they say, we can't help but wonder if there's a medical diagnosis to be made.
	After all, many medical conditions exhibit their first symptoms in the form of psychiatric issues and personality changes.
	Now, can you guess what they think he may have?
	Hoof and mouth disease.
	I have no idea.
	Syphilis.
	This is an old meme.
	I remember this from like over a year ago.
	This is great.
	Syphilis.
	Yes, well, syphilis.
	It makes you crazy.
	Before penicillin, well, it's more than that.
	I think it's neurosyphilis is the exact term, I guess.
	Yeah, you can get all kinds of crazy symptoms from untreated syphilis, which was always untreated before penicillin, that you'd give you arsenic and they'd try to damn near kill you to get rid of this.
	It's a terrible disease.
	It was a scourge.
	And as people got in, I believe, by the way, I think the first syphilis Came over from explorers, because syphilis is kind of a gross story.
	Syphilis, I believe, this is, I'm pretty sure syphilis is not gonorrhea that I'm talking about, but one of the two.
	But syphilis came over, it never existed in Europe at all until the 14-1500s after explorers came back from South America where it turns out that llamas have syphilis naturally.
	Nice.
	And you can put two and two together and come up with how that transference took place.
	But once it happened, it happened.
	Uh-huh.
	Hey, honey, I'm home.
	Get the llama out.
	Get the llama out.
	Hi, honey, I'm home.
	Oh, man.
	And so anyway, it became a scourge.
	They couldn't do anything about it.
	And it wasn't until Fleming came along and accidentally discovered penicillin that they actually got rid of it.
	It was terrible.
	Right.
	And so I like this.
	Okay, I'm giving you...
	I'm not going to discourage you from continuing this thesis.
	We'll see.
	We'll see what happens.
	Pretty funny.
	Yeah.
	Syphilis.
	That's really stretching.
	You're really grasping for straws there.
	But, you know...
	In the alternate universes, these things...
	Everything makes nothing but sense.
	It just falls right into place.
	Speaking of which...
	Let me give you a little story.
	I was writing op-eds for the Examiner.
	I got a hold of some guy.
	This was in the last two years of the Reagan administration.
	Everybody knew he kind of had something wrong with him.
	It was like Alzheimer's of some sort.
	And I think two years before he was going to finish, he was in 80 to 84 to 80.
	This was about 1986.
	I was talking to someone from this group, this pressure group, who was an alternate universe of the era.
	The Christic Institute.
	So I was talking to the director.
	They were totally convinced that Reagan was never going to finish out his term because he had Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
	And he would be done in 86, 87.
	And the guy was completely convincing telling me this.
	And nothing came of it.
	But it was the same kind of thing.
	These guys, they live in a dream world.
	They're naive.
	I'm not sure what it is, but they need these beliefs.
	No kidding.
	No kidding.
	Well, and those beliefs, yeah, they fit right into the universe, as does the new children's book, which I've ordered a copy.
	Uh-oh.
	Yes.
	This is being read now at...
	One of our producers sent me a note that...
	I think it was his preschooler.
	Like, this is what they were reading to the child.
	Uh-oh.
	Yes.
	The title is The Pumpkin and the Pantsuit.
	I've heard about this.
	I thought it was a joke.
	No, it's a real book.
	It's on Amazon.
	The Pumpkin in the Pantsuit, the show title.
	Go on.
	I haven't read it yet, but I think we can kind of guess what the content is going to be.
	Oh, can we just look at it?
	There must be a copy online.
	Well, it says, Born of the Question, How Do We Explain the 2016 Election to Our Kids?
	This book is a cautionary tale.
	Why should the kid care?
	Well, the kids have been indoctrinated.
	I think it's very important that the children are the victims of all of this.
	So what we're going to do is victimize the kids with the election and then whining and moaning and groaning and making the kids cry and then give them a bogus explanation to make it even worse?
	You are correct.
	That only happens in one universe, though.
	No, I know it does.
	It doesn't happen in the other one.
	I wish there...
	Let me see if there's any...
	What are the customer reviews?
	Pumpkin in the pants.
	My daughter...
	Here, my daughter was drifting off to sleep tonight after reading this book, and she whispered, Mom, I'm going to be the purple pantsuit.
	If that isn't the best review, I don't know what could be.
	Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this.
	That's one review.
	I enjoyed this book.
	I love the message of female togetherness and the theme of it's not over.
	That's what's in the book.
	I have it on order.
	You're going to have to read excerpts.
	I think I might have to do the audiobook version.
	And then, of course, President Trump is threatening to cut funding for PBS, NPR, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
	Yeah, he should.
	Yeah.
	That's an outrage, I tell you.
	I mean, you know, you've got to be in bed with the government with free money.
	You have to play the game, and they're obviously not doing it.
	They're demeaning the guy, so...
	Demeaning the whole Republican Party, and the Republican Party runs the show, and you're expecting money?
	On top of that?
	You suck!
	Give me money.
	It doesn't work.
	Oh, man.
	I probably stepped on your beat.
	I don't know if you have any of these clips, but again, there was...
	There's an argument in the British chambers regarding President Trump and coming for a state visit.
	Right.
	There's a big flap over this.
	In fact, before you play those clips, I don't know which ones you're going to play at least some of them.
	I got a preview.
	Let's listen to what they're talking about on London's LBC, London Broadcast Corporation.
	The London's Talking or whatever it's called, that radio show.
	This is a little rundown on what they, one of the guys who doesn't want Trump coming, Farage is on this network and he talks for an hour about how great Trump is and then this next guy comes on and he gives a little rundown about what we can expect.
	And the problem with that is that we are talking about international diplomacy here.
	And this is not diplomacy.
	This is a mess.
	The whole thing is now going to be embarrassing.
	Personally, I don't think it should be addressing Parliament, because I don't see that as...
	The right place at the right time.
	He doesn't have the widespread respect of MPs, of the country.
	He hasn't done anything yet.
	So that is something that's normally reserved for people who've done a lot and achieved a lot, and then they address Parliament.
	But the visit, fine, but it's done at the wrong time.
	It's going to be awkward.
	There's going to be massive protests.
	There are predictions that it's going to be The biggest protest London's ever seen come June.
	So diplomatically, that's not going to be a success.
	That's going to be awful.
	That awful, I tell you.
	It's horrid.
	It'll just be horrid.
	Awful.
	Awful.
	Well, here's how...
	The three big networks in their morning shows, how they presented the strife going on in Parliament over this visit.
	Here's Good Morning America.
	Across Europe, President Trump is stirring controversy and unease.
	Parliament debating a petition signed by nearly two million Britons demanding that Mr.
	Trump's trip here later this year be downgraded.
	We should not be inviting him to preach hatred and to spread his bigotry, his misogyny, and his division.
	Order!
	Order!
	Here's NBC's Today Show.
	In London, thousands gathered outside Parliament as the government there debated the President's official state visit.
	The President behaving like a petulant child.
	Ooh!
	Remember when that was said to President Obama and it was racist?
	Yeah, it was.
	It was completely racist.
	Racist.
	And finally, CBS This Morning.
	The United Kingdom is gripped by a fierce debate over whether President Trump deserves a recognition of a formal state visit.
	Thousands of people took to London Street last night to protest the invitation.
	Many argue having Mr.
	Trump officially welcomed by the Queen would be an embarrassment to the Crown.
	Petition opposing the visit has nearly two million signatures.
	Embarrassment to the Crown.
	That's a good one.
	I've been watching that Netflix series, The Crown.
	It's really good from a historical perspective.
	And you see that The Crown, they're nothing.
	They're an empty shell of just nothing.
	Well, I've been watching the debate that went on in Parliament, not in Parliament per se, but in a chamber.
	And they had all these guys gather around.
	And you can see you had the Tories on one side, and their basic argument is that, look, look.
	Look!
	We have to trade with these guys.
	We're leaving the EU, and we need these as major trading partners, and Trump is just a president representing the country, and it's not about – we can't insult the entire United States by reneging on this invite, which is what the real issue is here.
	is uninviting him and then risking, you know, getting some trade thing happening that's not to our benefit.
	Everything's got to be to our benefit.
	It's to our benefit, England, to let him come over and talk and whatever, and then he goes.
	Everyone on the other side is two groups – There's Muslims that don't give a crap about England from the way I hear them.
	They don't care about trade or anything else.
	He's a hateful man and he can't come.
	And the Scots.
	The Scots have always been this way.
	The Scots don't care either about England.
	They want to get out of the kind of, but they don't have the guts to do it, which is really what's annoying because they had their opportunity to quit.
	But no.
	So, it's just, and that's the group, and the Tories come forward and they say, look, this is not, look, they say, this is not a good idea to be this way, we gotta just back off and just, what difference does it make, kind of thing, and then again, boom, here comes the Muslims and the Scots.
	Well, CNN, of course, always put together a nice little, if it's something funny, if it's something controversial, Then they put together a little funny piece.
	What's her name again?
	Janine Most.
	She always does the funny bits.
	President Trump doesn't just get people stirred up at home.
	Sit down.
	Sit down.
	Look what happened in the British Parliament.
	Let's have some fake outrage here.
	I am standing here as a woman being shouted down by women.
	All because Britain's Prime Minister invited President Trump to...
	...pay a state visit to the United Kingdom later this year.
	Over 1.8 million UK residents signed a petition saying it was okay for President Trump to come visit, but that he should not get an official state visit because it would cause embarrassment to Her Majesty the Queen.
	Opposition members of Parliament lobbed insults at President Trump...
	Like a petulant child.
	The intellectual capacity of the president is protozoan.
	Protozoan?
	Like a single-celled microscopic animal?
	Best insult.
	Protozoan, I tell you.
	Protozoan.
	I've got to write one down.
	Well, the parliament's done this before.
	They had that other thing where they wanted to actually keep him from ever entering the country before the election.
	Yeah.
	It was before the election.
	And they made a long argument back and forth and back and forth about it.
	And it was just highly entertaining but extremely insulting to the United States in general.
	Because this is not just a few people that – this is the entire Labour Party.
	Hates the United States.
	They hate Trump.
	And I think they hate labor, to be honest about it.
	They're not doing labor any good.
	They just hate.
	They just hate.
	They wake up in the morning and they hate.
	But it's definitely a group of people that are...
	They're dissociated from the public at large, I think.
	I mislabeled this one clip as it kind of refers back to the insane thing, but it is from Louise Mensch.
	Now, isn't she like MI5 or isn't she some kind of shill?
	I think she's British.
	Yeah, I think she's British intelligence and MI6 maybe.
	Yeah, she's very anti-Trump, very anti-America kind of.
	And she showed up on MSNBC. I have no idea why.
	You've got to be careful when these people show up.
	We've talked about her years ago saying, you know, this woman is not to be trusted.
	And here is what she had to say.
	As a matter of fact, I think it shows that the president needs a mental health checkup.
	I genuinely believe that that sounded so bizarre and so ridiculous and one thought just flowed into another with no logical sense at all.
	It's a matter of national security if the president is not in his right mind.
	And I think Nancy Pelosi, who said this, who said that we need to know if the president's been diagnosed with something, is bang on the money.
	Because that was a joke.
	Were you forgetting his job?
	Many people who voted for him said, I appreciate the fact that I see his crazy right out there in the open.
	I know what his ugly is.
	He's not a career politician who just says the right thing.
	What if this is an ugly, ugly start, but maybe could there be something redeeming here?
	Because the fact of the matter is, whether you voted for him or not, this is the president that we're living with, and we want to thrive in the next four years.
	Yeah, no, something great could happen.
	It's called impeachment, so.
	When that happens, I think it'll be fantastic.
	But I think it is important.
	Trump, I think, would be surprised if he was sitting in this studio now.
	He thinks of himself as a good guy.
	He's confused.
	That just goes on and on.
	Well...
	Well, on that, then we might as well cut to the Tucker Carlson ex-CIA guy.
	This guy is a Democrat.
	Ex-CIA. We're getting a lot of these guys coming out of the woodwork, by the way, and you have to wonder what kind of messaging they're really up to.
	Right.
	And this guy, I've never seen him before, comes on Carlson, and he has a very interesting spiel, but if you listen to it carefully, it's kind of a mixed message in some funny way.
	Well, reports and rumors have swirled in the past month about a very hostile relationship between the new president and the intelligence community.
	According to the Wall Street Journal, intel agents are hiding some information from the president.
	Some have also blamed the CIA for the downfall of National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.
	Brian Dean Wright is a former CIA operative.
	He's also a Democrat.
	But he is disgusted with the shadow war he says his former colleagues appear to be conducting against the president.
	Quote, For reasons of misguided righteousness or partisan hatred, he wrote in a piece last week, they've taken it upon themselves to be judge, jury, and executioner.
	Brian Dean Wright joins us in the studio.
	Brian, thanks a lot for coming on.
	Thank you.
	So, there are these reports that are troubling that various agencies are withholding intel from the White House.
	Do you think those are true?
	I do.
	You do.
	I do think so.
	And I think there are probably a couple of things happening here.
	One, we saw this in the fall with the dossier.
	I think some things are being leaked to discredit the president.
	And then the second piece is I think some folks are holding...
	Wait a minute.
	He's giving credit to the dossier?
	He's crediting the dossier's leakage to the CIA, or one of the intelligence community.
	But the dossier was bogative, and why would he even bring that up if he's really involved?
	Well, that's what I'm telling you.
	This is a mixed messaging going on here that is, like, you get re-reminded of some certain things.
	We've already forgotten, but here it is again.
	...leaked to discredit the president.
	Yes.
	And then the second piece is I think some folks are holding, you know, information back.
	And that's deeply troubling.
	I think it should be for all of us.
	It's illegal, too.
	Well, of course, yeah.
	We start to get into grounds of treason.
	Look, I'm a Democrat, and I certainly didn't support or vote for President Trump.
	But before I'm a Democrat, I'm an American.
	Yes.
	And I think the vast majority of spies understand that and are committed to that.
	But there are a fair number of these folks who are engaging in a very, very dangerous game.
	And I think and I support the president and his efforts to find these folks and throw them in jail.
	Yeah, I mean, because we're supposed to have civilian control of the intelligence agencies and the military.
	Do you think that's in jeopardy?
	I think we start to head down a very dangerous road that places like Pakistan and Egypt have gone down, where military and intelligence officers who are in the shadows, right, they are elected by no one, they get to decide, you put their finger on the scale of who wins and loses in the political world.
	I think when we start seeing this garbage, I think we are in deep, deep trouble.
	In fact, there was a tweet by a journalist who said, effectively, that the intelligence community has declared war on President Trump and that they plan to see him die in jail.
	That is scary.
	I don't care if you're Republican or Democrat or Independent or Green.
	It doesn't matter.
	We're going to see him die in jail.
	Yeah, I saw that tweet when it came through and I didn't...
	I didn't believe it.
	I was like, sure, whatever.
	I saw the tweet and it was, I just, unfortunately I couldn't find it for the newsletter because I had a couple other crazy tweets where people like Rob Reiner who's talking about Unhinged.
	Yeah.
	I would recommend anyone who's on Twitter, first of all, follow the real Dvorak because I'm losing followers because of my neutral position on all this.
	But I would also follow Rob Reiner because he's really, it's quite funny to read his tweets.
	It's just hilarious.
	Yeah.
	Anyway.
	Yeah.
	So there's that.
	Yes.
	And let's see.
	We have a number of ways we can go.
	There was a lot more.
	Well, I got a little in between.
	Okay.
	This is just a very small clip from Maxine Waters showing her side of things.
	Yes, I've seen this.
	Do you have the short one or the long one?
	Yeah, I got the short one.
	I got the short one, then you can play the long one.
	The short one's funny.
	Okay.
	The long one's funny, too.
	Yes, I know, but the short one is short.
	Okay.
	No, the reason I say this is because I don't want to play the short one after the long one, but I like the short one, then the long one puts it in context.
	Yeah, yours is very short indeed.
	Here we go.
	It's clear to me.
	And I just think the American people had better understand what's going on.
	This is a bunch of scumbags.
	That's what they are.
	Of course, ISO of the week.
	This is a bunch of scumbags.
	Yes, it's a great, great ISO. It's the best ISO ever.
	Now, the longer version, she had a lot to say, and all of it was equally as crazy.
	I believe that Tillerson's real...
	Whatever that guy is, Tillerson.
	Tillerson, Tillerson.
	those sanctions lifted.
	But all of them want them lifted because this Kremlin Klan is all about getting the oil and gas money and doing the drilling.
	And they need this president.
	They need this president to get these sanctions lifted.
	And don't forget the second executive order that was signed by the president, that was 1504, basically would undo the work that we had done with Dodd-Frank in making these oil companies disclose the money that they were using to bribe these countries with in Africa and other places.
	And so, 1504 was very important because Exxon and others now will not have to disclose all of the bribes that they're doing.
	But these people are all organized around oil and gas.
	Why are they all in this administration?
	Why are they all so close to them?
	And you alluded to and talked about what is going on with this proposal that is being pushed by Michael Cohen, the president's personal lawyer, who delivered the document.
	F. Sater, a business associate who helped Mr.
	Trump scout deals in Russia and a Ukrainian lawmaker trying to rise in a political opposition movement, shaped in part by Mr.
	Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort.
	Can people see what's going on?
	Why do you think they hacked into our election?
	They hacked into the election because they have to make sure that Donald Trump got elected so that he can help them with what I think is a huge— It's a huge deal, not only to lift these sanctions, but to take over, you know, all of these Soviet countries and pull them back into the Soviet Union so that they could have access to all of these resources.
	It's clear to me.
	That is the line of the day.
	It is clear to me.
	It's clear to me.
	I know exactly what's going down.
	I know how this has happened.
	Hi, this is Maxine Waters.
	Remember that from the last show?
	Hi, this is Maxine Waters.
	Says to all of these resources, it's clear to me.
	And I just think the American people had better understand what's going on.
	This is a bunch of scumbags.
	That's what they are.
	Those are very strong words, Congressman.
	Who are all organized around making money.
	Who do you mean by that when you call them scumbags?
	Who are you talking about?
	All of these people who are organized with these oil and gas interests that's in the administration and friends of the President of the United States.
	This back-channel that you see, these are a bunch of scumbags.
	You mean the Secretary of the State of the United States?
	Well, I tell you this, Tillerson is there to get these sanctions lifted.
	I believe it.
	Just watch him.
	He's going to continue to work on it.
	This is important for him.
	He was there because he negotiated the deal for Exxon with Putin.
	Putin!
	He's scumbags.
	She's a pussy.
	She would just say, yeah, he's a scumbag.
	Why didn't she just say that?
	She kind of did.
	Yeah, but he asked her specifically.
	We've got to follow her.
	I wish she has a feed or something when she's going to appear on television because we know it's going to be comedy gold.
	This is a bunch of scumbags.
	Yeah, she is good, man.
	She is good.
	Hey, go ahead.
	Before you go on, since we're talking about these guys all bent out of shape, I mean, one of the things that's interesting is I think there's been so much action.
	During this first month.
	They finally brought the troops in because it's in the snow already.
	Democracy now can't keep talking about this forever.
	So they rousted the Dakota Access Pipeline guys.
	Just rousted them all.
	They didn't burn the camp down.
	The guys leaving, very reminiscent of what happened in France at Calais where they burnt down their encampment.
	Right.
	A lot of guys burnt down the encampment.
	But this report, which is the Dakota Access removal report, has a little kind of a zinger at the end because it's like, well, let's just appropriate any kind of negative language we can and let's just apply it to ourselves.
	Protesters taking a stand against the Dakota Access pipeline were ordered to break camp today, but some ignored the deadline and refused to go quietly.
	Omar Villafranca is there.
	North Dakota authorities moved in and arrested several holdouts just after 4 p.m.
	Some of them put up a fight.
	Most of the protesters left earlier.
	Some packed up in cars.
	Others marched out chanting to drums.
	Chase Iron Eyes stayed through the brutal winter.
	Right now there is a forced removal happening.
	An ethnic cleansing.
	Ethnic cleansing.
	Does he have any idea what that really means?
	Yes, it's from the Hitler playbook, John.
	Ethnic cleansing.
	That means they're killing them all.
	They're not.
	They're rousting them.
	It's different.
	Ethnic cleansing, he says.
	It's unconstitutional.
	It cheapens the phrase.
	Oh, yeah, totally.
	Words matter.
	Or they used to.
	I don't think they do anymore.
	No.
	With that, though, I'd like to give you some words.
	I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C. And the C stands for crazy tweets.
	Dvorak.
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	In the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the day moves and nights out there.
	Yes.
	In the morning, everybody in the chat room, noagendastream.com.
	Good to everybody here, present and working hard.
	Love to see that.
	In the morning to Nick the Rat, who brought us the artwork for episode 905, Burn the Man Bun.
	And this was Pence in hell holding the globe in his hands with a grimace.
	And we appreciate the work that Nick did, of course, with all our artists.
	And you can always submit something at noagentartgenerator.com.
	We choose it right after the live show.
	There was a lot of good art we could have chosen.
	Definitely.
	Definitely.
	Definitely, definitely, definitely.
	Definitely, definitely.
	Benjamin Craghead is our only executive producer.
	We have a few associates who came in with $302 from Logan, Utah.
	He says, hope this $302 donation to be in the 33% club of episode 906.
	Ah, I see.
	Ah, I gotcha.
	33% of 906 lands in time.
	I was hoping to hit my sister in the mouth with some kind of article clip about Roger Mueller's back door into the face bags.
	But search...
	NASHownotes.com has now given me a 502 bad gateway error.
	Yeah, so search.NASHownotes.com is down.
	The man overboard, the producer who was running that.
	So that just is gone.
	Now, if anyone wants to pick the project up, I believe there is a GitHub link on that page.
	Oh, wait, that's probably gone now.
	You can probably...
	I'll see if I can find it on GitHub.
	What happens when a Hillary supporter comes in, does some work for us, and then looks left, looks right, and bails?
	I don't know if it was a Hillary supporter.
	I'm not so sure.
	That's what I'm thinking.
	I'm visiting.
	I'm in the UK from the US for a week.
	Hi, Ben M-O-N-A-P-E. M-N-M-N-M-A-N-A-B-E. Okay.
	Not sure.
	The search show notes down anyway.
	I'm so jet-lagged that my first time traveling in the U.S. with a U.S. device and knowing that I've forfeited the explicit freedom of speech, press, and assembly has got me duped.
	Any hints of advice or continuing my producership while in the U.K.? Yeah, turn off your television.
	There you go.
	And don't pay that tax.
	You have to pay a tax to have a television.
	Yes.
	It's your viewing tax.
	Even if you don't have a television, if you watch BBC programming on the internet, you also.
	Oh, I didn't know that.
	Yes, sir.
	I thought you could use the computer to watch stuff.
	Nope.
	You also have to pay for it.
	Really?
	Well, I can do it through my VPN and I don't pay.
	Something on my mind recently has been in question, what is the meme fake news?
	When did it begin?
	That's a good question, actually.
	We knew when it began because we saw it when it happened.
	It kind of just snowballed.
	This is good to point out.
	I think you're talking about the term.
	When fake news began, it goes way back.
	Right, but the term started, the mainstream media started this.
	They started this saying, well, there were all these fake news.
	We need Facebook to, you know, Hillary lost the election because of fake news that Facebook was promoting.
	That's where it came from.
	Right, I think that really the term came into its own after the election.
	Yes, and Trump turned against the inventors of the term.
	Yeah.
	Which is funny.
	Exactly.
	Anyway, he goes on, and I'll skip ahead.
	However long you said, you need to remind producers that you nailed it.
	Not a day goes by calling someone's fake news is nothing more than an indirect slander, two degrees away from libel, lacking...
	I don't think so.
	Well, maybe two degrees.
	Lacking direct quotation and provable harm, yet...
	each other, which is why it's such a bullshit term.
	Okay, well, this is true.
	The truth and actual history go right down the memory hole.
	Paper headlines no longer matter, and the details are flushed by sensational live broadcast accusations that lead to public blacklisting or unjustifiable side-taking.
	Yes.
	Anyway, he continues with the complaint.
	Keep up the brilliant work and for the jingles, play me one, anything.
	Any Nigel Farage ISO, and Fuck the EU, and three, UK Parliament Grumbling, which you haven't played for a while.
	Yeah, I got it.
	And last, LGY, Little Girl Yay.
	And I guess some karma would fit in there.
	Yes.
	I'm not sure.
	I just picked a short Nigel Farage clip.
	but we don't have an ISO labeled as such.
	Just who the hell do you think you people are?
	You have the charisma of a damp rag and the appearance of a low-grade bank clerk.
	I want you all fired.
	Who are you?
	We love you, Nigel Farage.
	Yeah!
	This is what I'll say!
	Oops, and then all of a sudden the karma didn't fire.
	What happened there?
	There we go.
	Yay!
	You've got karma.
	Misfire!
	Karma Misfire!
	Sarah Johnson comes in with $290 and she says, thanks for the sanity and smiles.
	I TM to you both, Susan.
	I TM to you, 73s, 88s.
	Sir JB, Knight of the DMV, 288, 88s.
	Hey, Guardians of Reality, thank you for your courage and all your hard work, which helps keep me sane and entertained as I'm walking my dog and driving to work.
	Please give me a resist we much, a two to the head with some karma for all the other monthly donations, donators like myself.
	I'd like to call out douchebag boners.
	George Douchebag and Eric Douchebag for not donating.
	I've been listening since show 170 or so and it's my only go-to podcast that I can't miss.
	Adios Mofos.
	Then he's got Sir JB, Knight of the DMV. But resist, we must, we must, and we will much, about that, be committed.
	You've got karma.
	Actually, I think it may be my all-time favorite clip.
	mark plaguer or pledger 225 dollars 96 cents out of john and adam fantastic work as usual i'm bringing in six hours of infotainment every week are bringing us six hours of infotainment every week thank you too
	i do not have to wade through either of my vitriolic dreck that the msn believes is their job to drown us in or the memes and wapo articles that masquerade its political opinions on campus also watching the sausage being made on episode 903 made me garner a deeper appreciation for what adam does every show every day uh and every show daily or whatever
	In donating my birthdate of $2.25.96, I would like to wish myself a happy 21st.
	Is he on the list?
	We have a huge list.
	Hold on a second.
	Let me check that.
	Who are we talking about here?
	This is Mark Pledger, who is...
	Birthday on the 25th.
	I'm glad you checked.
	Mark Ledger, what's his birthday?
	The 25th.

	Oh, good.
	Jim Bennett, 22317 Toronto.
	We have a lot of associates today.
	ITM Jensen, a new listener to the show, is truly superb.
	In the spirit of Scott M. Quitter, Can you identify the early warning signs that appear when one attempts to propagate the formula to an audience that has no intention of making the effort to understand the manipulative ways of the media?
	Yeah, just walk away.
	Yeah, find someone who's got an open mind.
	Yeah, it's not worth it.
	In my enthusiasm to share the no agenda with the masses, I found myself in horrid battles with people who I now classify as douche-worthy.
	They just won't, can't hear what I'm saying.
	Help me avoid these interactions in the future with any tips.
	Well, here's the tip.
	Avoid the interaction.
	Done.
	It's not worth it.
	It's not worth it.
	We've determined this sometime back.
	However, I do want to point out That although a lot of my acquaintances, I don't want to say huge friends, but acquaintances who have gone full-on crazy and do not straddle the universes, but live in one consistently, I'm just hanging back.
	There'll be a day when we'll be okay again.
	I'll say, hey, remember when you were crazy?
	I didn't engage with you because you were crazy.
	And I love you for that, and that's why I didn't engage.
	But welcome, that's what I would say.
	That works.
	Alright, that was...
	We'll see if it works.
	Which one?
	That was Jim Bennett.
	Jim Bennett.
	Sir Jason Schrader in Greensboro, North Carolina.
	Beautiful place.
	Hopefully this gets you in time for tomorrow's show.
	He's worried sick.
	Sending myself a birthday donation and request for karma for the rest of the year since last year was such a turd for personal reasons, not for political or celebitard.
	I don't know what that is.
	While I don't always agree with you guys, as others constantly point out, you observe and report on too many discrepancies to ignore and entertain us all at the same time.
	In addition to the karma, please play me whoopee, get out of my vagina, followed by Yoko's Yoko thing.
	I think this donation pushed me over to Baronet, and I'd like to claim Baronet of the Piedmont.
	Sorry, Jimmy.
	Oh, we do.
	This reminds me.
	We have a discrepancy that needs to be discussed, and I don't have the paperwork for it.
	Is that the make-good for 900?
	No, no.
	This is the one...
	No, a discrepancy in titles.
	Oh, we'll get to that.
	We'll get to that when we do titles later on.
	Oh, you have the...
	I have the discrepancy, yes.
	And I've also put Sir Jason Schrader on the birthday list.
	Okay, here we go.
	On the birthday list.
	Okay, and then he wants...
	Get out of my vagina!
	And then he wants one of these.
	You've got karma.
	I added my own twist.
	I noticed.
	Carl Johnson, $200 even.
	Thank you for all your work on the show.
	It's the most unbiased show I have found.
	Keep searching.
	It is the most unbiased show I've found.
	I don't think you're going to find much better.
	I don't think so either.
	The clips you find are amazing.
	I'm so tired of the war between the two universes, but I keep coming back to your show because it's so entertaining.
	You have helped me to develop beliefs and options that are all over the map in my own instead of ones that are orchestrated by one party or group.
	Well, it is something isolating, somewhat isolating, sometimes isolating, since so many people are mind controls.
	I am still thankful.
	Keep up the good work.
	Sir Rod Adams comes in.
	Oh, Sir Rod.
	We had a nice little email exchange with him.
	I chewed him out.
	And then he said, nah, you didn't chew me out for any good reason.
	So, I was irked by one of his emails and I mentioned it to him.
	But he is still the one and only official nuclear expert of the No Agenda show.
	Guy knows what he's talking about.
	Yeah, well, he's in the business.
	He should.
	He's Baron of Blue Ridge, by the way.
	He came up with $200.
	Sir Atomic Rod Adams.
	Read his note here.
	Yeah, Baron of the Blue Ridge and resident expat in all things Atomic.
	Keep up the exceptional media deconstruction.
	Remember, there are many profits and power motives for spreading negative propaganda about atomic energy.
	It's a serious competitive challenge for some people who fight over pipeline routes.
	Ah, yes.
	And our conversation was about depleted uranium.
	Right.
	He believes...
	You can correct me.
	He believes that any discussion of it whatsoever...
	In a negative sense is a subtle propagandistic anti-nuke propaganda or a form of it, right?
	Yeah, that's what he said.
	Yeah.
	I disagreed.
	And I disagree as well.
	But he did give us a good rundown on the dangers, or I would say lack of dangers, danger of using depleted uranium weapons.
	Also, A-10 Warthog pilot contacted me and he said the same.
	Well, if you're a warthog pilot, wouldn't you think you'd want to believe that, whether true or not?
	You'd want to know that you're not being poisoned, yeah, sure.
	Yeah, so...
	But just understanding how it works is kind of interesting, because now I understand what happens is the depleted uranium is pretty much inert, and you can handle the rounds with your bare hands when you're loading up the weapon.
	But when it hits, when it strikes a target, what happens is the depleted uranium turns into a plasma form.
	And this is really a chemical reaction.
	And that is just, it becomes incendiary.
	And just, that's why it's used to pierce tanks.
	And in fact, it'll pierce the tank and then the fire will start inside the tank.
	Yeah.
	Fry!
	You don't want to be in a tank.
	You do not want to be in the tank if someone's got depleted uranium.
	Now, of course, if you Google it, you'll see that it's responsible for birth defects and all kinds of other things.
	We didn't talk about that.
	That was just purely the use of it.
	Well, it was in the clip they talked about it.
	That's what Rod was worried about.
	Exactly.
	But I tell you, if you're in a region where you have to worry about shells being fired of you made of depleted uranium, you have other problems.
	I would think.
	Sean Alaka in Chester, New Jersey, $200.
	Here's my final donation to our knighthoods accounting below.
	I would like to be known as Sir Sean of Slovakia.
	He sent a photo into it.
	It's kind of interesting.
	King of Kremnica.
	Pronounced Kremnica.
	Kremnica.
	I'm sending this donation for show 906 for a few reasons.
	One, being the best podcast in the universe.
	Two, for Adam doing the setup on YouTube to show us how the sausage is made.
	My wife and I both found it really cool.
	And she commented, Adam can really multitask.
	Some of us really do appreciate the work you put into this endeavor, Adam.
	Thanks again.
	Three, more importantly for keeping both me and my wife sane because you guys are watching and reading the crap so we listeners don't have to.
	For those listeners who have yet to learn this important lesson, turn off your TV! You'll be much happier.
	Another note for the listeners out there, get off face bag too.
	Another note for the listeners out there, if you are not donating at least something, you are a huge douche bag.
	Clip requests.
	Can I get a de-douching?
	Because it has been about eight months since my last producer donation and I need it.
	Alright, let's do that.
	You've been de-douche.
	I'll de-douche him again in a minute.
	JCD's Mac and Cheese.
	It's my favorite jingle and not the least of which some...
	And last but not least, some uni exam karma.
	Okay.
	For his wife, Bera, who I love more than anything.
	Also, can I get a request at the end of the show?
	The full shape-shifting Jews clip.
	Of course.
	We're here to please, obviously.
	Let's do that de-douching of you.
	You've been de-douched.
	You slaves can get used to mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	You've got karma.
	And last, our last associate executive producer is Lucas Lundy in Tacoma, Washington, 200.
	I just got my annual bonus.
	And here's your cut.
	Jingle request, Trump the president.
	And Obama.
	No, no, no, no.
	Okay.
	I don't know.
	You might know what that is.
	I'm not sure.
	Well, yeah, I just have to choose one.
	And he says he's 84.
	Oh, Trump the president.
	Oh, is that Trump?
	Oh, yeah, I see what you're saying.
	Yeah, there's a couple of those.
	And he's 84% to knighthood.
	Ah, beautiful.
	All right.
	Well, looking forward to a ceremony soon for you, sir.
	He's Trump.
	He's Trump the president.
	He's Trump the president.
	Okay, you know what?
	No, no, no, no.
	No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no.
	What?
	Listen, you're in my house, drinking the booze.
	No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no.
	Shame on you.
	You've got karma.
	It covers it.
	That'll be our group of producers.
	One producer, executive producer, and a number of associate executive producers for show 906.
	Outstanding.
	I have a couple PR mentions before we move on.
	First of all, although the trip will not happen until later this year due to Moving here in Austin and moving around, the Australia-New Zealand Tour will take place probably closer to August-September, I think.
	And there's a website to stay up to date and also to register, and if you want to be a part of it, it is magatour.com, M-A-U-G-A-Tour.com, that stands for Make Australia Great Again Tour, M-A-U-G-A-Tour.com, and you can get all the info there.
	And then the other thing I want to mention is one of our dudes named Ben, James Chapman, producer James Chapman, has deployed an Amazon Echo skill for the No Agenda show, which is very cool.
	And I'd like to demonstrate it for you.
	What's an Amazon Echo skill?
	Okay, so the Amazon Echo, which we have reprogrammed as the Book of Knowledge, you can use the built-in Amazon thing, such as Book of Knowledge.
	What is the temperature?
	In Austin, it's 84 degrees with clear skies and sun.
	Today's forecast calls for more of the same...
	Okay, thank you.
	All right, thank you very much.
	84, wow.
	That's crazy.
	But as an independent developer, you can add what is called a skill, and then the device, after you use the wake word, understands that skill and then will do whatever is associated with that command.
	So here we go.
	And most people would say Alexa or Echo, but of course we've changed it, so I say, book of knowledge.
	What's in the news today?
	Here's your flash briefing from Gitmo Nation.
	I'm gay.
	I'm gay.
	Hello, I'm gay.
	I'm gay.
	I should be on MSNBC.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Devorak.
	So what it does is it streams the most recent episode.
	How cool is that?
	That's incredibly cool.
	Yeah, I like that a lot.
	I think that's dynamite.
	Yeah.
	It's cool.
	I don't know.
	It's just cool.
	It's one of those things.
	It's a bend kind of thing.
	Exactly.
	Hey, I want to thank everyone who came in as an executive producer or associate executive producer today.
	And of course, we have some title changes and I think we have some nightings coming up later on as well.
	Later, we'll also thank everyone who came in at $50 and above.
	And these titles, these executive producer and associate executive producer, are completely valid and usable as such.
	Put them on your LinkedIn.
	It seems to draw attention.
	And remember, we've got a show coming up on Sunday.
	So if you're not just turning around and walking away, propagate the formula!
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order! Order!
	Shut up, slave!
	We'll be right back.
	Shut up, slave.
	Yoza.
	Hey, I caught a Podesta interview.
	All of a sudden he's out.
	Yeah, he was being interviewed.
	Yeah, I thought maybe we'd check in and see what he thought were the main reasons for losing the election.
	For those who don't remember, John Podesta, whose emails were not really hacked, but he just...
	Yeah, he used the word password on a Gmail account.
	Yes, here we go.
	It was like a daily drip, drip, drip.
	I think it was intended to be that.
	I think, obviously, the Russians working with Julian Assange weaponized the emails to try to do...
	Weaponize?
	Yeah, it would deplete uranium in the emails.
	That's what happened right there.
	Weaponize the emails.
	You mean weaponize the content that was kind of embarrassing and crappy?
	As the emails to try to do maximum damage to us.
	The timing of the release was, it's probably important to remember, which is it came out an hour after, they started doing this an hour after Access Hollywood tape was...
	The Pussygate tape.
	I didn't know that.
	Is that the timing of it?
	Is that what happened?
	I thought it was exactly the other way around, personally.
	I'm pretty sure the Podesta stuff...
	It was out earlier?
	No, I think the Podesta stuff came after Pussygate, but the DNC hack came before Pussygate.
	I got the impression, if I'm not mistaken, we have to find the timeline.
	But my impression was the hack of the DNC and the Bernie stuff came out and then, boom, NBC countered with Pussygate.
	What he's saying.
	And then they counter, I think it was a double counter with Podesta came after that.
	I think it was a bum, bum, bang.
	Bing, bong, bong, bong, bong, bong.
	It makes more sense to me.
	Of course.
	So I think Podesta doesn't know what he's talking about.
	Well, he knows.
	He's just...
	He's not straddling, let's put it that way.
	Yeah.
	So, I mean, I think it was intended to try to change the storyline, to bring this back to emails.
	I think that there was...
	You know, I'm sort of a boring guy, so there's nothing particularly salacious and sensational in the content, but they were...
	Except for the wet work.
	Another phenomena of this election, and with Russian involvement in this as well, was the production of fake news that became fodder in the campaign that, I think, just kept alive a kind of simmering, kind of dark cloud for the last month.
	It was...
	This started right before the second debate.
	I think Hillary won all the debates.
	I think most commentators would agree with that.
	So that put off any particular effect.
	But it kept that storyline about emails alive.
	And then, you know, as you know, I believe and I think the campaign believes that I agree with that.
	Totally.
	When Comey, the second Comey notation, whatever it was, he comes out.
	That timing, yeah.
	The timing was.
	I think that was the killer.
	That was the end of people that were teetering.
	I don't like this Trump government vote for Hillary.
	No, I can't trust Hillary.
	It just reminded everybody that she's not trustworthy.
	Now, if you can blame it on Comey, or you can blame it on Anthony Weiner, as far as I'm...
	I agree.
	That's the emails we still want to see.
	If that joker hadn't come out, had his laptop confiscated, that'd reopen the can of worms.
	That guy, I would say if any one thing brought Hillary down, it was Anthony Weiner.
	It also reminded us of Anthony Weiner and Uma Abedin.
	How cruel karma is.
	Or humorous.
	Definitely humorous.
	I agree.
	Humor is always good.
	In an odd state of timing, I guess we could say, FBI seems to be back with their, well, we call it the six-week cycle, but it's really just another phony baloney terrorist arrest, which has not been getting a lot of play.
	None of the recent ones have.
	Yeah, they announced that they arrested a 25-year-old Missouri man.
	And, of course, this guy, you know, he's probably weak of mind.
	He didn't even have the $20 necessary to buy the 9-volt batteries, duct tape, and roofing nails that the only two people he ever spoke with were FBI informants.
	And they riled him up.
	You know, they riled him up, as usual.
	What'd they do?
	It's an old game.
	You're going to build something.
	You're going to blow everybody up.
	It's really good.
	And they kept him going.
	You have to loan him the 20 bucks is the irony.
	Even more ironic is that he got...
	He got picked up.
	He got arrested prematurely, I think, because he had an argument with his girlfriend at a Walmart or something like that.
	And he put his hand into a diaper bag and everyone freaked out because they thought he was going to pull a gun.
	And it turns out there was a 9mm in the diaper bag.
	And that's why he was arrested and so I guess had to pop it all early.
	They couldn't do a big dramatic reveal.
	Oh, they blew it.
	These guys are unstable.
	Yeah, you got to get better patsies.
	Right.
	Get better patsies.
	And of course they're using, you know, trying to use just dumb guys they find.
	I mean, they could do better than this.
	I have an ISO for you.
	Oh boy.
	This is despicable.
	Okay, here we go.
	This guy is disgusting.
	This guy is despicable.
	He is a monster.
	Yeah, and is this about our president by any chance?
	No.
	It's about the...
	Gymnastics doctor, trainer, who apparently molested like 80 or 90s.
	Oh, yes.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes.
	Oh, my God.
	Guy was...
	He's not guilty.
	Yeah, this is a role, you know...
	Going to one of our favorite little areas of the program here.
	Welcome to the program.
	Is depression.
	Depression era.
	Signs, signals, things that tell us things are not going well.
	What did we have the other day?
	We had something I brought up.
	Yeah, you brought it up.
	I don't remember.
	It was something.
	We've had tiny houses.
	We've had flop houses.
	We've got mac and cheese.
	Living in a trailer.
	Yeah, what is the one that we love so much?
	Bugs.
	Well, I think mac and cheese is my favorite.
	I think Bugs is on deck.
	Oh, Bugs.
	The latest thing is eating Bugs.
	Bugs is on deck.
	Now, if you want to promote something...
	And by the way...
	Oh, yeah, I know where you're going.
	Okay, never mind.
	Go hit it.
	If you want to promote something, you've got to get the promoters on the ball.
	And nothing better than to get a promoter who has something else to promote, which in this case would be a movie that she directed.
	Angelina Jolie in Cambodia with the kids eating bugs!
	See the hot front where you have the teeth?
	Oh wow.
	Take the fangs out.
	Have you done this before?
	Yeah.
	I think it's always been a part of the diet, the bugs, but then I think there is a truth to the survival during the war.
	She also has this weird English accent that kind of creeps in.
	Where's that coming from?
	Yeah, where's Angelina Jolie from?
	Is she just from LA? Isn't that just where she's from?
	I think so, yeah.
	This is the beginning.
	This is a whole English accent thing.
	Well, Madonna did the same thing she put on an English accent.
	You know, Tina Turner.
	I'm Tina Turner.
	Tina Turner did that.
	Annie Mae Bollock from Mississippi.
	Okay, fine.
	See the hard part where you have the teeth?
	Oh, wow.
	Take the fangs out.
	Oh, wow.
	Have you done this before?
	Have you done this before?
	That is an English accent.
	Have you done this before?
	Yeah, yeah.
	I think it's always been a part of the diet, the bugs.
	But then I think there is a truth to the survival during the war.
	Of course, people...
	When people were being starved, they were able to survive on things like this, and they did.
	When was the first time you had these books?
	I first had them when I was first in country.
	When I was first in country.
	In country!
	When I was first in country?
	In country.
	That is...
	I tracked this...
	That was Angelina Jolie who said that?
	Yes, and this is...
	When I was first in country.
	Yeah, it's an imperialistic expression.
	And that's because, you know, she's in Cambodia or wherever.
	This is how the old, the Brits used to talk on the plantation.
	Who knows, in country or out country.
	In country.
	You know, I'm here in Cambodia.
	I'm in country.
	I first had them when I was first in country.
	In country.
	Crickets.
	You start with crickets.
	Yes, of course.
	Crickets in a beer.
	Yes.
	And then you kind of, you know, move up to tarantulas.
	How do you flip a scorpion?
	Is that good, guys?
	Dinner!
	You want to go?
	You want to share a spider?
	Hot?
	Do you want to share a spider?
	You know, this is again, you know, we had this theory that we just kind of casually mentioned that That the reptilians are now, this is their normal food.
	This is what they eat, yes, of course.
	Yeah, so they're trying to make it look normal, so it's not so unusual.
	Let's make everyone kind of eat bugs so we can get our fill.
	Well, it's worse than that.
	If you watch this piece and the videos in the show notes, 906.noagendanotes.com, link from noagendashow.com, You see her cooking it, and she's doing it all with kids.
	It's totally meant to make this feel normal and okay.
	And by the way, when it comes to crickets and beer, I'd like to offer a suggestion to our brewers in Australia for another No Agenda label, if you're thinking of No Agenda beer.
	Why don't you just put the crickets right in the beer?
	Just make it...
	I'm telling you this is a hit.
	They want to stay in business.
	This will be a hit.
	It will not.
	It will be a huge hit.
	Crickets and beer.
	It's in one go.
	And you can use Angelina Jolie even saying crickets and beer.
	Crickets and beer.
	It's perfect.
	We're into the epic brewery.
	Yes.
	Crickets and beer.
	Flip a scorpion.
	Is that good, guys?
	Dinner.
	Dinner.
	You want to go?
	You want to share a spot?
	Hey, Mommy!
	Hot?
	It's actually really good, the flavor.
	That's like her handler, her bowl crab handler.
	It's actually very good.
	I'm so surprised.
	But then listen to the kid in the background.
	It's actually really good, the flavor.
	It's so nice.
	I can see why you're into this.
	It's hard to chew, Scorpion.
	Dried chips.
	Like chips, yeah.
	Yeah, like flavorless chips.
	Yeah.
	See, the kid's flavorless chips.
	The kid's like, this sucks, man.
	This bloke's good about it.
	This flavorless chips, bleh.
	Angelina Bloley.
	No!
	I love bugs!
	Bugs, bugs, bugs!
	Tastes like poop.
	Tastes like poop.
	Now, while you're talking about these sorts of usages that she did in country, I caught, of course it was on British television, but it was Lindsay Lohan who was on her way to becoming a Muslim.
	Wait, stop!
	Why do I not know this?
	You're not keeping up with the celebs, man.
	I follow her on Twitter.
	She's becoming a Muslim?
	Yeah, yeah.
	If she's not already.
	So she's on this show, and she uses, I believe I have it clipped in here, I may have missed the Britishism, but she uses one very similar to in-country or going to hospital or at university.
	At university.
	With the Quran.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, okay, play it.
	How do you deal with that?
	When I was flying to New York recently, I was wearing a headscarf and I got stopped.
	There it is, headscarf.
	I was wearing a headscarf.
	She wasn't wearing a headscarf.
	Which is the way you'd normally say it.
	She was wearing headscarf.
	This is another one of these clipped Britishisms.
	Well, and that's interesting, because if you say, I'm wearing a suit, you wouldn't say wearing suit.
	I was wearing dress.
	I was wearing bondage.
	There you go.
	I was going to the airport.
	I was wearing bondage.
	I was wearing headscarf.
	With the Koran, you get a load of abuse suddenly and so on.
	How do you deal with that?
	When I was flying to New York recently, I was wearing a headscarf and I got stopped.
	She opened my passport and saw Lindsay Lohan and started immediately apologizing.
	But then said, please take off your headscarf.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	And I did.
	I mean, it's okay.
	But what scared me was, is that moment, how would another woman who doesn't feel comfortable taking off her headscarf feel?
	That was really interesting to me.
	I mean, I was kind of in shock.
	This is horseshit.
	Listen to me.
	When you go to get your passport picture taken, there are very specific rules about going headscarf.
	And you have to show certain things.
	Almost all embassies make you do this.
	Ears is a big one.
	So if you're in headscarf, you have to take it off so they can compare your passport picture.
	I have a feeling maybe your passport picture showed old Lindsay Lohan.
	And now you're all offended?
	Give me a break.
	They look at me three times.
	Because my passport photo, as we know...
	She claims, as much travel as she's done, she claims in this little piece that she's never been stopped for anything ever.
	But she wasn't wearing headscarf.
	Yeah, apparently that's the only reason.
	I've been stopped a number of times.
	I don't wear a headscarf, but go on.
	They stop me all the time and look up and down, up and down, up and down, because my photo is old, 10 years old, as we know.
	And it's me with really long hair.
	And feel like...
	So they have to look at it.
	That's not abnormal.
	That was really interesting to me.
	I mean, I was kind of...
	And he felt that you had been deliberately targeted because they thought that you were an Arab.
	I don't know.
	I can't speak for what the purpose of it was, but it was really...
	Did they take you a sign?
	How about you're a notorious drug user?
	I just wanted to make sure.
	What happened?
	I got double-checked until she realized.
	And you've never had that before.
	So there was no secondary.
	She's full of crap.
	Double-checked.
	She would have said, I was taken to the little room, and then they asked me again.
	No.
	She was just being questioned at the normal border.
	I had that before.
	No.
	It was strange.
	Did that freak you out a bit?
	It did.
	It did.
	It's weird.
	I mean, going...
	I'm from New York.
	I'm born and raised there, so...
	I was a little intimidated.
	What was the reason that you were wearing the headscarf?
	Is that part of your studying Islam?
	Well, you know what's so interesting to me is that when we look back on Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn and, you know, these old Hollywood actresses, they used to cover up the same way, with their big glasses and their headscarf.
	But that's not for religious reasons.
	That was presumably for privacy.
	But you could do it because maybe you want to be You don't want to be seen as much in the airport.
	You know, my red hair doesn't exactly not stand out.
	So you were doing it for privacy reasons rather than for spiritual or religious reasons?
	I was doing it because I was leaving Turkey and out of respect for certain countries that I go to when I see certain people, I think I feel more comfortable acting the same as the other woman.
	That's just a personal respect issue for me that I have.
	Oh, it's so interesting.
	Perhaps we could get the same respect from people who come to America and act the same that you did in other countries.
	How's that for an idea?
	It's just a thought, Lindsay Lohan.
	I don't know why I had this sense that you'd get irked by this clip.
	I don't like her.
	I used to defend her, but not anymore.
	No, she's a douchebag.
	Well, okay.
	Then let me bring in my own douchebag.
	This is the use of the word penis.
	Penis is a word that is just not acceptable on mainstream television.
	In fact it is so unacceptable that a professional, a Kennedy no less, Maria Shriver, Thank you.
	Yeah, I saw more than that.
	You caught me there for a second.
	I'm not sure if you're allowed to say that on television.
	You can actually see a lot of things.
	Going out with a bang!
	You're going out with a bang.
	Okay, well, we're just going out.
	What?
	Well, Matt, help!
	She just threw me off!
	I'm so sorry!
	Now, this would not be as funny or outrageous to me if this, if Lena Dunham wasn't the proponent of all things women.
	What gives you the right to be joking about penis?
	What if, what if John, hey, John, I saw a vagina.
	Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
	Ha ha ha ha!
	Ha ha ha ha!
	Yeah, that's annoying.
	She's annoying.
	I don't know why they give her air.
	She's just not a...
	But she is on the other side of the...
	She's one of the spokespeople for the other dimension.
	I think she may be the leader of the other dimension.
	Now think about it.
	Could be.
	Yeah, could be.
	Okay, let's see.
	Can we take a little trip to Euroland for a moment?
	I'd love to.
	Yes.
	Elections on the way.
	We know what's coming up.
	The Netherlands, France.
	An update on Marine Le Pen.
	After Donald Trump's victory, Marine Le Pen as French president seems dangerously plausible.
	Why dangerous?
	In part because she wants France to abandon the euro.
	She says a country's currency is key to its sovereignty.
	If you don't have your own currency, you allow others to impose on your economic policies, your immigration policies, your social policies.
	The political austerity that is imposed today by the European Union is founded on the euro.
	I don't want to accept the euro, which is no longer a currency in the spirit of the European Union, but is in reality a weapon, that it sticks in our sides to force us to go where they please.
	The Euro is a failure.
	It's an economic failure.
	It's a social failure.
	It's one of the reasons for which France has seen such a high rate of unemployment, for which France has become so much poorer, for which our industry has failed, for which we are confronted with an unfair international rivalry.
	There is no reason for us not to return to our own national currency.
	Now, if she wins and if she becomes president, she says she's going to negotiate with the European Union for new terms, and depending on what she gets, she's going to ask for a referendum here in France.
	And, of course, everyone's saying, well, she can't really win.
	Eh, it won't happen.
	She'll never get through the second round.
	It's not going to happen.
	And I have no idea if it will, but looking at...
	I brought this up at the dinner table, and Buzzkill Jr.
	said, well...
	You know, they didn't think Brexit was going to happen.
	It happened.
	They didn't think Trump was going to win.
	It happened.
	They didn't think Le Pen's going to win.
	I said, I don't think she's going to win.
	And that was the end of the discussion.
	It's possible she could win.
	If she does, then that will be the icing on the cake.
	Gordon Wilders, I think, has a better shot at getting somewhere.
	Well, he's going to get somewhere.
	Le Pen is going to be...
	And everything she says makes nothing but sense.
	That's the weird thing about it.
	It's crazy.
	It's like you listen to her, you go, yeah.
	If you're French, in particular, if you're French.
	Yeah, you'd think, oh.
	And her big thing is that French culture is French culture, and everybody, and it stems from an agglomeration of Gauls and Franks and all these different cultures, and they all became French.
	And her thing is, if you want to be a Muslim, we welcome you.
	Come on in.
	But you have to become French.
	Right.
	You have to learn French, you have to take the headscarf off, you have to get the burqa off, you have to dress stylishly in Paris.
	That's fine.
	You can be a Muslim, but you have to do that.
	Which seems reasonable.
	The financial issue she was speaking of is something that is only too well known to Greece, who of course are in the Euro and they can't...
	Yeah, they've been screwed over by it.
	Big time.
	And back on the scene is Mr.
	Motorcycle Rider himself, Janus Varoufakis.
	The guy from University of Austin.
	Yes, that guy, UT Austin.
	He's back, and he has a couple of things to say about the bailouts, and really that Greece is just lost for good.
	And the Greek crisis is far from over today, of course.
	Prime Minister Tsipras now faces a choice between agreeing to additionally impose external austerity or calling for fresh austerity.
	I want to read to you a quote from one Greek economist who said recently, we could be looking at potentially disastrous political turmoil which could bring back the scenario of Grexit with a vengeance.
	Grexit, Greek exit from the European Union.
	Does that worry you?
	Is that on the cards?
	It never went away.
	It's not going to come back.
	It never went away.
	Let me put it this way.
	Ever since we accepted the first bailout loan in 2010, Greece became unsustainable.
	Fully and totally unsustainable.
	All we've been doing since 2010 is we have been getting a new credit card to pay off the previous credit card.
	Everybody knows that this can't end well.
	Everyone knows that.
	A ten-year-old could tell you that.
	My tenure had the purpose of ending this.
	Tsipras, my prime minister, capitulated, and we continue along those lines.
	Wolfgang Schäuble, the German finance minister, who is the only person in the Eurogroup that actually has a plan, I disagree with his plan, but he's the only one with a plan, has a very simple plan, and that is for Greece to get out of the Eurozone.
	He disagrees with his chancellor, Chancellor Merkel.
	This disagreement is the main reason why we're in limbo.
	We are neither in the Eurozone nor out of the Eurozone.
	So as long as we are in that unsustainable limbo, the uncertainty will be very, very high.
	He is.
	I'm not sure why he's back on the scene.
	Maybe it's just a Spuronic Brexit and he had one more bit here.
	I'm wondering who this guy is, who's backing this guy?
	Is it the CIA? Is it MI6? Is it...
	I'm thinking hedge fund managers.
	Well, maybe.
	That would make sense because the hedge fund guys really know how to clean up in these situations.
	Exactly.
	Well, maybe there's a clue here.
	Will Greece be a member of the Eurozone and or the European Union in a year or two years' time, in your view?
	I think that this is the wrong question, allow me to say.
	The right question is, is there going to be a Eurozone?
	That's how you do it.
	That's your old trick, our old trick.
	That's the wrong question.
	I'm just going to give you the answer to the question you should have asked.
	This is the wrong question, allow me to say.
	The right question is, is there going to be a Eurozone in the European Union in one or two years' time?
	Remember, this is not that important.
	Well, the way we're going, I cannot see Italy remaining in the Eurozone for very long.
	You see, when you allow an epidemic to start spreading from a place like Greece to Spain to Italy to Ireland, then eventually it gets to a place like Italy.
	Do you realize that now, as we speak, only one political party in Italy?
	Wants to keep Italy in the Eurozone.
	Greece, I insist on this, Greece should not be important.
	The only reason why we keep talking about Greece is because it is symptomatic of the architectural design faults and crisis of the Eurozone.
	This is what we should be focusing on.
	Okay.
	Crisis.
	Well, it's funny he would mention Italy.
	Yeah.
	Italy and France, the elites, have apparently a negative attitude about what's going to happen, and they've sent their representatives in terms of their trade, the higher-ups that aren't running the place.
	Both Italy and France sent them to China, unreported in all the Western media, to do some behind the...
	door meetings for trade so they can at least when they break, when the whole thing falls apart, they will still be connected to China in some globalist way.
	And so this University of Fudan guy came on to discuss the detail.
	It's very difficult to understand half of what he says, but he's talking about trends that are anti-globalist, which is starting to be a big deal, and apparently the French and the Italian elites are freaked out about this, so they're in China doing deals.
	And we know from my nephew that the Chinese are buying up Italy.
	They're buying up the clothing brands.
	They're buying up the oil factories.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, so this is continuing, and here's a little analysis from this guy, as much as you can take of it.
	Both France and Italy are great powers in the EU, so it's very rare to see that both two leaders of these two countries visit another one, another state.
	Now, they both come to China at the same time.
	We can see that the importance of China has widely accepted by the world.
	Secondly, we can see there is an urgent need for the European states, great states, to cooperate with China in an era of reverse globalization.
	You see that after Brexit's referendum of Britain and Donald Trump came to power in America, we say the world now came to another era of anti-globalization.
	However, both Italy and France, the current regime of them share the same idea of globalization with China, so they have great need to cooperate with each other to continue the globalization.
	Thirdly, we can see that they do not only sign such principles with China, but also they deepen the practical cooperation with China.
	For France, we say that the rise of the right-side force in the politics may put sand in the wheels of Sino-France relations.
	That's true.
	We take the most famous guy, Marine Le Pen, for example.
	She has a very strong attitude of economic nationalism.
	Which may reduce their cooperation with China in economy, especially in international trade.
	However, we have to see that China and France has no security or strategic conflicts.
	So this determines that there will not be so big problems between these two states.
	We will have conflicts, we will have bug-ins, but not so serious.
	When it comes to Italy, we can say that the failure of the referendum of the constitutional structure is largely domestic affairs rather than the Italian foreign policy.
	We know it was launched by Renzi, the former Italian Prime Minister, who aimed to promote the constitution to increase the governance and to boost the Italian economy.
	But rather than involving the Don't laugh!
	Why are you laughing?
	I'm glad you could...
	I'm so stunned that you could put up with listening to that guy.
	I could hear him quite...
	I could understand him quite well.
	Yeah, he was making some good points, which is these guys...
	This is buffering.
	These guys are freaked about this nationalism coming on the scene, and they want to make sure they have these connections to China so they can still do the same kind of middleman business that they've been doing.
	The deals.
	They're deals, man.
	They love doing their deals.
	Deals, man.
	Deals.
	Hey, man, got us some deals.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Maybe we talk about Sweden then briefly.
	Okay.
	To refresh everyone's memory, what occurred is that the president, that his big rally said, oh, Sweden, oh, man, can you believe what happened yesterday?
	And of course, he's really got to get better at this.
	You know, there was nothing yesterday, but I think he was referring to, yeah, the thing I saw in Tucker Carlson yesterday.
	I don't know what he was referring to.
	But it was a mistake because, of course, there was nothing.
	But then, interestingly, a whole bunch of stuff happened.
	Yeah, two days later.
	Yeah, and I'm reading European reports of Swedish police saying, hey, we've got a real problem here.
	The migrants, in a migrant neighborhood, there was rioting and burning, etc.
	And, let me see.
	I have...
	I didn't have a thing specifically...
	Where is he?
	I have the...
	Where's the guy?
	Eh!
	Hold on a second.
	It's under...
	That was under migrants.
	Oh, here it is, yes.
	So, the guy who did the documentary that influenced Trump to speak about this, he was...
	Remember, we played a bit from him when he was on Tucker Carlson's show.
	Now he was with the overnight legend Don Lemon.
	Don Lemon trying to argue that the statistics, Are just not the statistics that they are.
	Well, you'll hear it.
	And this guy, what's his name?
	Amy Horowitz.
	He's the documentarian.
	He fights back.
	But according to official statistics of Sweden Crime Survey, the sexual violence rate has been about the same from 2005 to 2014.
	And for the most part, the story of dark-skinned foreigners targeting blonde Northern European women is not one supported by the evidence.
	I'm confused.
	The numbers are the numbers.
	What is confusing you?
	Two plus two equals four.
	The numbers don't show what you're saying.
	2005, I'm going to keep, I mean, my mic is working.
	2005, 2016, rape is up 50%.
	Yeah.
	And it's up every single year.
	Okay.
	Okay, I don't want to be rude, though, but are your ears and your eyes working?
	Because the numbers, as we're reading from BRA, right, and from the State Department, they don't show what you're saying.
	You're taking these numbers and you're manipulating them.
	There's no indication.
	They're right here.
	The raw numbers are up.
	That says BRA. Yeah.
	Yeah.
	But if you look at, even if you look at crime here in the United States, overall, for the past decade...
	Crime is down.
	Crime is down.
	There was a spike.
	Rape is down.
	There was a spike.
	Murder is down.
	In one year.
	Not in Sweden.
	Right.
	Over time.
	Not in Sweden.
	That's the same thing.
	No!
	But it's not skyrocketing.
	That's totally wrong!
	Let's say that you're right.
	Murder is not...
	Hold on.
	You're classifying this as a skyrocket.
	That crime is skyrocketing.
	It's not a skyrocket.
	So you think when rape is down in the United States and everywhere else in Western Europe, and then rape is up 50%, that's not skyrocketing?
	Because of the way they classify rapes now.
	Listen, the definition was before those numbers.
	If you had not classified unwanted touching, if you're at a concert and someone touches you on any part of your body, that is now in Sweden classified as a rape that was not before.
	First of all, it's sexual assault, not rape.
	It's not rape, it's sexual assault.
	It's sexual assault in the United States.
	No, it's sexual assault.
	It's sexual assault in the United States, but it's not sexual assault in Sweden.
	Incorrect.
	It is now under the rape law.
	That's not right.
	So we're mistaken about that.
	He's just mistaken about that.
	Yeah, and Don Lemon probably is just mistaken about that.
	Yeah, there's a lot of meme numbers that people can fight against, but they create these meme numbers.
	Yeah, but the audacity of a gay man, that needs to be pointed out in this case, to say, well, it wasn't rape if someone touches you at a concert.
	Really, Don Lemon?
	That's okay?
	It's okay just to touch someone at a concert?
	Just feed them up?
	Feed them up?
	That's okay?
	You don't think that's traumatizing?
	Douchebag.
	He is a douchebag.
	Meanwhile, in Germany, crazy what's going on there.
	Germany, of course, is one of the countries that is very protective of its citizens' data.
	And you have to jump through all kinds of hoops and you have to have data stored in the country or at least in the European Union.
	They're very, very protective of the data.
	Yes.
	For good reason.
	Yeah, except for now.
	We have a bad history.
	Yes.
	With the migrant situation, the government has drafted a law that allows authorities to tap into the phone and computer data of asylum seekers if there are doubts about their nationalities or any unusual move.
	Nice.
	Way to go.
	I'm sure it will only be used for migrants.
	Yeah, it's just classic.
	It is classic.
	You know, we're going to hire a couple of ecstasy guys because they really know how to do this right.
	It is classic.
	It is totally classic.
	Well, wrapping up the migrants then.
	Wait, do I have...
	Yes.
	No, if it's the migrants, I've got a couple of things here I want to do.
	Migrant-related?
	No, I got no migrant stuff.
	Well, I do have one migrant thing.
	If you wanted to play this clip, I actually saved this one.
	It's about migrants, about the white hats.
	The white helmets.
	Oh, the white helmets in Syria.
	We've defunct these phony balonies a long time ago.
	But listen to this.
	This rolls right off the top of the news.
	Laughter And finally, they did not win the Nobel Peace Prize they were nominated for, but they may yet win an Oscar.
	A Netflix documentary follows Syria's White Helmets in Aleppo.
	The volunteer rescue workers have almost 3,000 members and claim to have saved 60,000 lives in the Syrian civil war.
	The film is nominated for Best Documentary Short.
	Filmmakers Raid Saleh and Khaled Khatib are both members of the White Helmets and plan to travel to attend the Oscars award show.
	Oh, man.
	Are they going to be on stage with their white helmets on?
	Oh, jeez.
	Maybe.
	Oh, gosh.
	Oh, man.
	Well, hopefully the Academy won't give them an award so they can't get up there.
	Yeah, but someone would say...
	But I bet you they win.
	Yeah.
	Oh, jeez.
	Those white helmets.
	Now...
	ISIS front for anyone who doesn't follow the show.
	Yes, ISIS front, indeed.
	Paid for by our State Department, USAID, and MI6, I think.
	Yes, mostly USAID. Yeah, USAID. In talking about this migrant crisis, and certainly in the United States, the money associated with it is...
	Phenomenal.
	It's billions and billions of dollars from the United Nations, which is our money too.
	Most of it's our money.
	Who pick, cherry pick, hand pick, and send people off.
	And then you have the resettlement organizations, most of which are religious in nature.
	One of the big ones is the World Relief Corp.
	Of National Association of Evangelicals.
	So I think they just go by world relief.
	And looking at their Form 990 for tax purposes, they did about $59 million in revenue last year.
	Not bad for a church.
	Not bad for a church group.
	And gotta say, there he is once again on Tucker.
	Scott Arbeiter, who is the refugee resettlement director of World Relief, Remember, $59 million they raised, most of it from resettlement programs, came in in 2015.
	That's the most recent numbers I have.
	2016, I guess, hasn't been filed yet.
	And here's how the report starts.
	Scott Arbeiter is the president of World Relief.
	It's a Christian organization.
	He's also a pastor.
	And the organization provides refugee resettlement services, among other things.
	The organization has had to close five offices and lay off 140 people, a development it blames directly on the executive order out of the White House.
	Oh, my goodness.
	What are they going to do?
	They have to lay off people.
	Hmm.
	From a business perspective, that's pretty interesting.
	I mean, you're an organization that's maybe geared towards one client?
	It's always dangerous.
	Drastically curtailed the number of refugees who might arrive here in the U.S. I think your compassion is real, and I applaud it, and I think it is a Christian's duty to be compassionate.
	I don't think it's the U.S. government's duty to be compassionate.
	It's its duty to protect its citizens and, to the extent possible, ensure their prosperity.
	Well, I think the government has decided to do both for many years.
	But why are you taking any government money?
	You take tens of millions of dollars from the government, and as a Christian organization, doing what you see as your Christian duty, why should taxpayers subsidize that?
	Well, you know, it's a good question, and it's interesting because the people that have been critics of ours for taking any money now to help in refugee resettlement, by the way, that's not new.
	We've been doing it for seven presidential administrations since Reagan.
	So it's been an American value for 40 years through multiple administrations.
	It's been an American business for multiple.
	It's been an American scam.
	That's right.
	Or for the American people to do that.
	But when we have helped the government resettle suffering people because they said, you know, the public-private partnership works.
	It's better when communities and churches are a part of this.
	I think people have expected that we would be either defensive or embarrassed about taking government money.
	We're actually proud that we do this work so well using so many volunteers, thousands of churches, tens of thousands of people to help the government accomplish what it decided to do.
	Wait a second, and I get that, but you say on your website you're doing this because it's biblical, you're doing it out of your Christian faith, which for the third time I respect.
	But how is it consistent with your Christian faith to give away something that doesn't belong to you, which is to say the country or tax dollars?
	If you're doing this out of Christian faith, why not pay for it?
	Well, we are, but here's what I think.
	Well, you're not.
	I mean, you took $42 million in government money last year.
	Well, that's not right.
	I mean, it's close.
	That's what your text form says.
	It is both.
	The U.S. government makes a decision about resettling refugees.
	Let's be clear, no refugee gets to pick to come to the United States.
	They only come if invited by the State Department.
	World Relief doesn't invite them.
	We don't pick them.
	We don't vet them.
	We don't even know who they are until the State Department hands us the file and says, we have chosen to resettle these refugees.
	It's a government decision.
	And when the government decides to do that, they're coming at us and saying, would you help us then integrate these people?
	But you're not answering my question exactly.
	So you're doing this as a Christian because you think it's your Christian duty, which I think is great.
	Then why wouldn't your duty be to actually go all the way and pay for it?
	Why is it noble as a Christian to force other people to pay for your Christian duty?
	We're doing both, Tucker, and here's why.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Tucker came close, but not really.
	He needs to expose this for the scam that it is.
	Well, yeah.
	Well, he didn't.
	He just kind of bitched and moaned about one thing or another.
	It was wimpy.
	But I like listening to the guy defend the...
	Tucker's at 49.
	I see 59.
	Defend the $59 million to resettle the refugees.
	Yeah.
	It's all about it.
	It's a business.
	It's a big business.
	But it's got a front.
	It's got an evangelical front.
	That makes it look acceptable.
	Yep, exactly.
	And it keeps the church running.
	It's always good.
	Yeah, if you've got $59 million and everyone's working for free, you can get to keep the church running, that's for sure.
	I'm going to show myself the Lord 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.
	Yeah, and we do have some people to thank for show 906, which means we got 907, 908, and then we have the 9-10 split for all you bowlers out there.
	That's coming up on us, 9-10 split.
	Let's start with thanking a few people here for this show, starting with John Gardner, who is in...
	Hales Owen, Great Britain.
	Is there some pronunciation I'm not getting?
	$125.
	I've never heard of that.
	Hales Owen.
	Hales Owen, maybe.
	Hales Owen.
	Maybe.
	Scott Thompson in North Tawanda, New York.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	And then we have our buddy, Sir Donald Borowski, who's actually a baronet from Spokane Valley.
	He sent us a note.
	Not on the right letterhead, but I will read it.
	Is he out of the Federation?
	Is that what's going on with him?
	He's now at Hewlett-Packard, apparently.
	But he's also got a wire logo of some sort.
	So he's going to have trouble getting his notes read.
	This donation puts me over the top for my third knighthood, upgrading me to Barron.
	I would like to claim Spokane County as my protectorate, even though that would make me a count.
	I'm not sure what that means.
	I found a talk by Professor Ian Rutherford, or Rutherford Plummer, show 902, particularly interesting.
	He stated that the Earth has been sequestering carbon dioxide for billions of years.
	Also noted that the current level of CO2 in the atmosphere is dangerously low.
	Cutting it in half would end land-based plant life.
	That's what we've been claiming.
	They're trying to kill us.
	If it ends plant life, it ends us.
	That's right.
	The paper explained that CO2 levels have decreased since the end of the last glacial era.
	If continued, the loss of CO2 would end land-based plant life in about 100,000 years, a mere blip on the geological clock.
	I conclude that the industrial society and large human population arrived in the nick of geological time.
	Our large-scale burning of fossil fuel has put much-needed CO2 back into the atmosphere, saving land-based life.
	Burning fossil fuels is saving the Earth, not destroying it, as most so-called environments would say.
	Signed, Baron Donald of the Fire Bottles.
	Wow, very nice.
	That's an interesting perspective.
	Yes.
	We enjoy these perspectives.
	I look forward to his ceremony later on.
	Well, it's not really a ceremony.
	We have a ceremony for the title.
	I guess it's kind of, yeah.
	Alright, let's onward.
	Gary Marquardt.
	Marquardt.
	Marquardt.
	Sorry.
	$115.
	Sir Jim Zuckel, $100.
	Michael Allen, $100.
	Sir Knight of the East Side, 9060.
	And he has a 24th birthday coming up.
	Boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs.
	Kimberly Lewis found the boobs.
	808 and the last newsletter, I believe.
	Yes.
	Andy Kluber found the boobs in Terre Haute, Indiana.
	Brian Rosa in Milton, New York, 8008.
	880, wishful thinking.
	Walter Graham in Wilmington, Delaware.
	Boobs.
	A lot of boobs today.
	Everybody enjoyed the boobs.
	Yes, boobs are enjoyable.
	We put the boob Easter egg on Zabrinski.
	Hey, do you even have Mika's clip?
	You know, Mika's clip.
	No, you put this in the newsletter.
	You make a big deal about it.
	And again, I'm like, oh, John's got it.
	And then you just, oh, Adam will clip it?
	You know what?
	I figured you'd clip it.
	Yeah, you need to stop figuring that stuff.
	I guess.
	When you assume I make an ass out of you and me.
	When you write in the newsletter, you'll hear lots of clips about this, or, wow, you probably saw this, then I'm presuming you come prepared for that.
	Well, I didn't.
	And let's just say that Mika Brzezinski, it's on, you can just, you could look it up, it's all over the place.
	Oh, sure.
	Sure.
	We could just give people a list of stuff to go look at and be done in 10 minutes.
	Yeah, but that was a screw-up on my part.
	Okay, that's fine.
	But what she said was, you know, Trump thinks he's going to tell people what to think.
	That's our job to tell people what to think.
	Exactly.
	Anyway, it was kind of embarrassing for her.
	Yeah.
	She got some blowback, I think.
	I would think.
	Gerald Preston, parts unknown, 8008.
	John Knowles in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
	We have an enclave there, by the way.
	Again, boobs.
	We got a lot of boobs today.
	John Knowles in Murfreesboro.
	Ben Truman in...
	It's a bevy of boobs.
	Bevy of boobs.
	Ben Truman in the UK. Brent Stokes in the Woodlands, Texas.
	Actually, Brent sent a note in.
	I want to read it.
	Dear John and Adam, it's a very nice letterhead.
	Several years ago, I hit my 15-year-old son in the mouth, and he's been hitting back.
	Congratulations to Brandon Stokes for an additional passion for media deconstruction from no agenda, and turning 19 years, he's on the mailing list, or not a mailing list, he's on the list to be, and he's going to give, and Brent wants to give all his business for his sons a knighthood eventually.
	Oh, very nice.
	Duncan Goldenhuys.
	Oh, this is...
	I don't know how to pronounce his name.
	I would say Geldenhus.
	Geldenhus in Ascot.
	80.
	80.
	Brian Kaufman in Phoenix, Arizona.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	He has a douchebag call out.
	Oh, does he?
	If possible, could I get a shot of karma?
	We'll do that at the end.
	And call out my dad, Patrick, as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	For enjoying the show, but not donating for a few months.
	Well, if he's donated before, he's not an entire douchebag.
	No.
	The show is gold!
	The show is gold.
	Brian Kaufman, we mentioned.
	Dwight Chick in Burlington, Ontario, Canada.
	6789.com.
	Donald Napier, double nickels on the dime, a rare donation nowadays.
	It used to be very common.
	Louisa Tasty Bayeva.
	What?
	Do you have a happy birthday call out to her beloved husband?
	Is that on the list?
	Louisa Tasty Bayeva.
	Happy birthday to her beloved husband, Doliet Zanguzin from Kazakhstan.
	Oh, okay.
	Nah, she explains it.
	Yeah, got it.
	These names I've never encountered.
	James Durante in San Diego, California, 52-23.
	Brandon Mink, Sir Brandon, I believe, in Tempe, Arizona, 50.
	These following people are $50 donors, name and location, $50 each.
	Patrick Mackom, Sir Patrick in New York, I believe he's a sir.
	Um...
	Patrick Kelly, another Patrick in Cincinnati, Ohio.
	Sandy Geisler in Watkinsville, Georgia.
	Levi, I don't know, is it Prinzing in Northfield, Minnesota?
	Yeah, I'd say Prinzing.
	Yeah, Prinzing in Northfield, Minnesota Nuts.
	Matthew Yoder in Albany, Oregon.
	Daniel Laboy in Bath, Michigan.
	I didn't know there was a bath in Michigan.
	Jason Daniels, Parts Unknown, William Shaw, and he actually didn't donate anything.
	So that should do it.
	Okay.
	Wow.
	Thanks, everybody.
	Thank you very much.
	We've got a lot to do today.
	We have a lot of birthdays.
	We have a couple of sorts of make good for Dan Baxter.
	He had donated $90.09 for episode 900.
	Somehow we skipped over him during the donation segment.
	It can happen.
	Pagination, I blame.
	I always blame pagination.
	Pagination it is.
	And then we have, and I thought this would be coming, we do have a peerage issue, so I would like to call to attention the peerage committee.
	That would be me.
	Peerage committee.
	Let me give you what's going down, and then you tell me what we're going to do about it.
	I have the note here.
	This is from an anonymous producer who was knighted Circumference on episode 902.
	The real Circumference, who was knighted on episode 855, has taken issue with the title Trespass.
	What say you, peerage committee?
	Well, it's unfortunate that this occurred.
	We can't have two exact same titles to two different knights, so we have to pull The second circumference is titled, and he has to reassign himself.
	He's an anonymous donor.
	He knows who he is.
	And he's going to have to change circumference to something else.
	It could be close.
	It could be something else.
	Obviously, as is the original circumference, they're both punsters.
	They like the idea of a pun as a title, so I'm sure there's plenty of puns that he can come to grips with.
	And we sincerely, on behalf of the entire peerage committee, which is me, we sincerely apologize for this mistake.
	Okay.
	So much for the peerage committee that should be taken care of.
	All right.
	Thank you, everybody.
	Also, thanks to everyone who came in.

	Happy birthday from all your buddies here at the best podcast in the universe.
	Bam, kerbam, kerbam.
	That was a lot.
	That was a lot, yeah.
	I got a couple of 33s thrown in.
	Yeah, that's never a coincidence.
	I got a bit of the vapors from that.
	A bit of the vapors.
	What do you think my new mic before I get on to the title changes?
	Can you tell I have a new mic?
	No, I can't tell.
	It sounds like the old mic.
	I'm testing a new mic.
	I'm pretty happy with it.
	What is it?
	Let's talk about it.
	Well, let's finish up what we have to do first.
	You may not think it's a ceremony, but I believe Don Woborowski and Sir Jason Schrader do feel that way.
	The changes for today, Sir Donald Borowski becomes Baron of Spokane Valley in the Five Bottles.
	Congratulations to you, sir, with your protectorate.
	And Sir Jason Schrader becomes Baronet of the Piedmonts, both of you, with official new No Agenda titles.
	And again, appreciate all that you've done producing the program in multiple facets.
	And now we have one, two, three nightings to do.
	This thing stuck.
	It was from last week.
	It got rusty.
	On the podium, please.
	Dan Baxter, Shan Alaka, Sean Alaka, and Hugo.
	Step on up, gentlemen.
	The three of you have contributed to the best podcast in the universe in an amount of $1,000 or more.
	That gives you a coveted spot at the round table of the No Agenda Knights and Dames.
	And, of course, you get that coveted Sir title.
	So hereby I pronounce the KD, Sir Dan Baxter, Sir Sean of Slovakia, King of Kremenica, and, of course, we have Sir Hugo of Sussex.
	Gentlemen, to you we have the obligatory hookers of below, rent boys and chardonnay, white widow and brownies, poutine and rye whiskey.
	We've got progressive rock and rushed imperial stout, vodka and vanilla, bong hits and bourbon, ginger ale and gerbil, sparkling cider and escorts, and, of course, mutton and mead.
	Just head on over to noagendanation.com slash rings.
	Give Eric all your information and we'll get that out to you as soon as possible.
	And please tweet out a picture when you get it.
	Everybody seems to like that a lot.
	Thank you.
	Thank you so much.
	Thank you so much.
	Just a little...
	Oh, let's talk about my microphone for a second.
	It was a loaner.
	It's an Electro Voice RE320. That's an old classic.
	It is a classic.
	I've never owned one.
	And it looks very similar to the Rota Procaster that I use.
	But this has a little more presence in it.
	I'm kind of liking it.
	I'm not noticing the more presence, but it does have the, those electro voices have the great ability to really pick up off mic.
	Yes.
	Off axis, I should say.
	Off axis speech.
	Yes.
	Which is probably better than any other mic at doing that.
	And also they have, they don't have so much, I forget the term, but for when you get too close to the mic and it starts to boom.
	I don't know the term.
	Shit audio?
	Is that the...
	No, it actually sounds good.
	You put certain mics and talk low.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Let's see.
	It's a proximity effect.
	That's the term.
	That's good.
	It has less proximity effect and it has more off-axis capture.
	It's really a good product.
	In using it, it just feels like my testicles are just a little bigger than they used to be.
	They don't sound bigger.
	Really?
	Well, then, that's...
	I think it's similar to the Mike Rush Limbaugh uses.
	It doesn't sound...
	It's not...
	I mean, to you, maybe it sounds great in those headphones, but they're coming over the Skype, and by the time it's all processed, it sounds the same.
	I didn't notice the difference.
	I would have said something.
	All right.
	Well, I'll have to listen critically.
	I didn't want to tell anyone up front, so now people will say, hey, I noticed that.
	Yes.
	If you noticed it today, I noticed that.
	Let me know if it was good or bad.
	It's good.
	Yeah.
	Oh, I found a gem.
	I found a gem, a gem, a gem, a gem.
	Everyone's doing a podcast.
	You've got to do a podcast or you're not with it.
	You're not a hipster.
	You've got the former speechwriters for Obama doing a podcast.
	Oh, yeah.
	Also, Dana Perino, who is, I guess now she's a Fox commentator.
	She's been at Fox for a long time.
	Who looked so much better with the short hair.
	She does.
	I never like the hair long.
	It's just something about the...
	No, she needs a pixie haircut.
	That's what's great for her.
	It really fits her face.
	It's a TV look.
	It's a great TV look.
	Great TV look.
	And I forget who she is.
	They have a podcast together.
	And something interesting cropped up, as usually does on podcasts, when people feel free to just speak as they want to.
	There was not the honeymoon where people say, oh, all of these things.
	There was sort of a reverse honeymoon, which we talked about last week, about, you know, he's Hitler and he's going to destroy American democracy and resist we much.
	Did you hear it?
	Wow.
	Did you hear it?
	Yeah, resist we much.
	We are such an influence.
	You know, he's Hitler, and he's going to destroy American democracy, and resist we much.
	But resist we much.
	We must, and we will much, about that be committed.
	And he's going to destroy...
	Resist we much.
	Who in the world would say that?
	Nobody.
	How does that happen?
	He did it because he couldn't read the prompter.
	Right, but how does this guy come up with Resist We Much?
	He's obviously been listening to the show once in a while.
	It's got to be something like that.
	Yeah.
	They won't say anything, of course.
	They won't say, well, you know, no agenda show is pretty good.
	I guess it's because we slam everybody that's in the media.
	Yeah.
	You know, unless they're doing a good job, and we haven't noticed much of that.
	No, very little.
	And besides that, what's the point?
	Why should we be talking about anyone who does a good job?
	That's not what we do.
	We look for people that are doing a crappy job, and then we just give it to them.
	Yeah.
	Which includes Fox.
	Yes.
	So the...
	Did you listen to the podcast or is it any good?
	Who is that guy?
	I don't know.
	No, I can't listen to those podcasts.
	No, they're all...
	It's no good.
	No, they're no good.
	So you recall the story.
	It's very hard to get information on it, but you had those IT guys who were hired by Debbie Wasserman Schultz Who were all over the computers.
	Yeah, the Arabs.
	Yeah, the Arabs hacking away.
	Yeah.
	Well, it turns out they also took $100,000 in cash from an Iraqi politician while they had administrative-level access to the House of Representatives computer network.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	These guys know how to do it.
	I mean, this needs to be investigated.
	This is a...
	I mean, where is...
	It's a scandal.
	It's a Democrat scandal.
	They're not going to investigate it.
	Yeah, but shouldn't the United States government invest in it?
	Well, maybe Sessions might do it, but he's trying to lay a little low.
	He seems to be busy.
	So I got an interesting clip.
	I thought, and there's some other evidence about this, and I thought it came up in the conversation.
	And it explains a lot because especially going after Trump and his immigration changes and all the rest of it.
	Play this little clip.
	This is a guy who was an FBI guy in Saudi Arabia when John Brennan was in Saudi Arabia.
	His name is John Guondolo, I think.
	And he's got...
	This is like something that's bubbling up under the surface.
	It's not hit the mainstream at all yet.
	And nobody's denying it, really.
	...
	by your career and your story.
	We actually first came across your name when we were doing a story about Glenn Beck talking about CIA Director John Brennan is secretly a Muslim.
	And we researched that claim.
	And correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to be the kind of original source on that idea.
	Am I wrong or right about that?
	That is correct, and thanks for having me on.
	So how did you come up with that theory?
	Was it during your time at the FBI or after that you developed that?
	No, I wouldn't call it a theory.
	It's two of the individuals that were over in Saudi Arabia when he was over there that are still in government service witnessed him take the Shahada, which is what you say to become a Muslim.
	While he was the CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia.
	So who are those two individuals?
	I'm not going to tell you that.
	They're still in government service and they would be fired if their names were public.
	Okay, and let's say even if you did tell, just for a second, like you're not going to tell us their name, but let's say you told us their names.
	What proof would they have that he is a Muslim?
	Their own testimony that they were there, present.
	So there's nothing other than just them saying they were there, right?
	No, I mean, government records would show they were there in time of service at the time he was there.
	Well, we know that he's a big Islamophile, and he speaks Arabic fluently.
	Yes, right.
	We know he speaks Arabic fluently.
	I believe it.
	It makes sense to me.
	I mean, there's no reason that he wouldn't do it.
	He's usually somebody who's, you know, first he's stationed in Saudi Arabia.
	He can get a lot more done as a Muslim there.
	And this doesn't really surprise me if it's true, but it's not been discussed in the least.
	And I think it should be discussed.
	The guy running the CIA is a closet Muslim.
	I think it would be noteworthy.
	Well, I don't know if we'll find out.
	We're not going to find out either.
	No, probably not.
	And he quit already, so he's done.
	So there was, I think, a pretty decent cover-up that went on over the past couple of days, and this was regarding town hall meetings.
	And the town hall meetings looked...
	A lot of them looked staged, not all of them.
	It looked like there were people paid to show up and protest.
	This had already been set up.
	I think we were talking about this a week ago, where there was already reports like, oh, it's going to be so horrible.
	Oh, they got town halls.
	Oh, everyone's going to go...
	Well, I... I have two clips about the paid protesters.
	Okay.
	And one's a CBS clip, and the other one is...
	I'm not sure what the TK stands for, but it's another...
	It's not...
	It's a different...
	I think it was RT. RT, probably.
	But play the...
	Both are one of them.
	This is the CBS hit piece on it, because they have to hit this...
	Because they're trying to negate the possibility that it's really, they're all staged.
	I mean, these Republicans come up and they do a town hall forum.
	There's a bunch of Democrats coming in, yelling and screaming at them, ruining the town hall meeting.
	And this isn't happening to Democrats.
	Republican members of Congress holding town meetings with constituents are facing loud protests from opponents of President Trump.
	The administration claims professional outside agitators are partly to blame.
	Congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes went to Metairie, Louisiana to look into it.
	If professional agitators were lurking in the line outside the Jefferson Parish Library today, we didn't meet them.
	Look it up.
	Yes.
	Do we look like loud individuals?
	Do we look like paid protesters?
	This group of mostly retired women brought homemade signs, umbrellas for the sun.
	This is the best use of man on the street.
	Just go interview people who, of course, are going to say no, and then put that in your piece as representative of everybody there.
	That's great.
	And please get elderly women.
	Signs, umbrellas for the sun, and a newfound sense of activism.
	And CPAP or something.
	We could have added a few things, I think.
	A Zimmer frame and a cane.
	I'm in this until I die, if that's necessary.
	I feel that strongly about it.
	They came to confront Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy about the Trump agenda and about Obamacare.
	And when he was late, they started without him.
	Cassidy is a doctor himself and one of the few Republicans to introduce his own Obamacare replacement.
	Now, under our plan, you could actually end up with more people in church.
	Okay, that is CBS. I faded it out because it was going to just go on and on with this report.
	That's good.
	Let's listen to, I guess, the RT version.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I'm sorry, but I think it's...
	I don't know what the TK stands for.
	I'll tell you afterwards, because then I'll remember.
	...responding to a series of protests at Republican town halls by saying the participants are simply...
	Yeah?
	It's...
	For some reason, TK to me means...
	What's his name?
	The...
	The guy we've been playing all day.
	Tucker Carlson with a K. So I put T, Tucker for the T, and then K. I don't know what I'm thinking.
	The mind is a wonderful thing, John.
	Wait, stop.
	The other thing that's interesting about this, Tucker's report was not that much different than CBS's again.
	Mm-hmm.
	Kind of hinting that there was something going on from some organization, but never really admitting it.
	He has to be careful because the Democrats run Fox News.
	They let him go a little bit, but he can't go too far.
	Yeah, that's exactly it.
	Trump administration responding to a series of protests at Republican town halls by saying the participants are simply professional protesters.
	For more than that, we go to Fox's Trace Gallagher, who's been following it.
	Hey, Trace.
	Hey, Tucker, Louisiana GOP Senator Bill Cassidy just wrapped up a very contentious town hall.
	In fact, Cassidy was forced to abandon his PowerPoint presentation on the Republicans' plan to replace Obamacare when the angry crowd shouted him down and literally turned their backs on him.
	Instead of listening to his presentation on health care, the crowd demanded Cassidy answer their questions.
	Watch.
	I don't answer a lot of these questions if you'll just like me.
	I don't know.
	It's too much.
	Let's go.
	Of course, this type of scene has been playing out across the country, leaving many Republicans to question the origins and motivations of the crowds.
	After Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz's town hall was stormed by protesters, Chaffetz told the Deseret News that he believes those who attended were, quote, paid out-of-state rabble-rousers.
	When pressed for evidence to support his claim, a Chaffetz spokeswoman pointed to a police statement saying some of the protesters did not live in Utah.
	But police later said most of those on hand were locals.
	Even Chaffetz amended his statement saying, quote, the overwhelming majority of people there were Utahns.
	They weren't paid.
	Were there some paid components to it?
	Yeah, I'm convinced there were.
	But so far we have found no confirmation that protesters are being paid.
	Although some of them are being organized and partially trained by groups like MoveOn.org and the Center for American Progress.
	Today, President Trump tweeted, quote, the so-called angry crowds in home districts of some Republicans are actually, in numerous cases, planned out by liberal activists.
	Sad.
	All right.
	So here is Brooke Baldwin.
	Participating in the cover-up.
	Let me just ask you more broadly on the folks who are showing up.
	Again, you have town hall number three tonight, and you have the White House with the president's tweet, and even Sean Spicer saying half of these people have valid issues, but half of them, he said, are some professional manufactured protesters.
	I mean, how dangerous is that sort of language, or do you agree with the president, with the White House?
	It's dangerous kind of language.
	It's dangerous.
	What?
	It's hate speech.
	On their criticism of these people.
	I can speak for my district.
	I will tell you, sure, there's the local opposition party, the faithful opposition, has organized, has shouted, stuff like that.
	I want to hear them and listen to them and not be shouted.
	I'm listening to you, and I hear you saying there are people there.
	How dangerous is it to have the president lump all these people together as organized by liberal activists, which is precisely what he did in that tweet?
	Okay.
	I believe that they are.
	Okay, go on.
	Give me your thing.
	I got a thing, too.
	Well, what I have is, so they covered this up.
	They tried to cover it up.
	Totally.
	It was a whole setup.
	They were ready for it.
	Everyone was good to go.
	And what they forgot to do, though, is they forgot to send the protesters to California.
	They forgot to, you know, you've got people protesting, but wait a minute, where's the Republicans?
	Oh, I don't know.
	But here's what happened at a town hall meeting in Los Angeles, specifically regarding the sanctuary city of Los Angeles, with a black citizen of the city.
	90 million Americans out of work who want to work in this country.
	Sanctuary cities are racist.
	The black communities alone have been destroyed by illegal immigration.
	It's like we're going through the second civil rights movement.
	I'm an American citizen.
	My people have been here since the start of this country.
	Trace back from the person, which was a female, off the slave ship.
	My people were here, okay?
	I have Native American in me, I have Asian in me, I have European, and I have African.
	And I'm not going anywhere.
	Again, I say sanctuary cities are racist.
	All the jobs are going to illegals and to certain denominations.
	That is wrong.
	You're not going to be allowed to get away with it.
	Your time is going to be up.
	You want us to feel for your families, but you don't feel for our families.
	Again, the black community has literally been destroyed by racist, illegal immigration, and we're not going to have it.
	When my people do a crime, we get three strikes.
	Your people do a crime, they get amnesty, they get benefits, and they're not paying taxes.
	Okay?
	Publication 17 IRS. They're allowing you people to claim people in Mexico.
	I can even claim people in New Orleans when there was a flood.
	I can claim my people.
	I end up moving down there.
	It's over.
	It's over.
	Thank God for Trump.
	Thank God for sex.
	And you should.
	You should be ashamed of yourself.
	How dare you?
	Look up Publication 17, page 25 and 26.
	How in the hell are you allowed to claim people are next to God and get away with it and not pay taxes?
	I am outraged.
	I'm a tax preparer.
	I manage a tax store in four different states.
	That ITIN number, they're using it as a social security number.
	All the social security numbers that you don't steal.
	And it's going to be shut down.
	There you go.
	Of course, we can't broadcast any of that.
	That would be very bad.
	No, heaven forbid.
	But we can play this, which was on Tucker Carlson.
	And this is a guy who came on discussing black unemployment and illegals.
	40% of the 18-point decline in labor force participation rates among black males is attributable to the oversupply of illegal immigration labor competing with them.
	So we're talking about, at the very low end, hundreds of thousands of blacks losing jobs.
	Probably, if you do the math, up to 1.2 million blacks losing jobs.
	This has significant, obviously, impacts on the black community.
	Got in touch with the Congressional Black Caucus, sent them detailed information on this, asked them to do something about it, to respond to us, to engage in this effort.
	My assistant repeatedly would follow up on this.
	What we heard were crickets.
	Did the same thing with President Barack Obama.
	Crickets again.
	Oh, yeah.
	Mm-hmm.
	Okay.
	Well, this is the sort of thing that the Hillary, black Hillary supporters, you know, are maybe coming around on slowly.
	Because Hillary just wanted to open the borders wide open all the way from South America to Canada.
	Of course, she's concerned.
	Do you really have an issue on your hands, even though...
	That's not going to happen now.
	But back to these protests that are going on with these guys doing their town hall meetings, which all that's going to do is take town hall meetings and get rid of them.
	Because no one's going to do this.
	I blame the whole thing on the OFA. What's it called?
	Organizing for America.
	This is Obama's operation.
	Yes, yes.
	And Obama's operation, you go to his website, it's OFA.US, because I don't think they can get org.
	So they've got OFA.US. And it's all about these things.
	And yes, these people are not paid protesters, but they are organized protesters, and they're organized by mostly OFA. And if you look at their websites, get training.
	They actually do the training.
	It's all Saul Alinsky style.
	That's why they're so disruptive.
	And it's all what Obama learned when he was a community organizer, only taken to the next level.
	And they're disrupting everything because this is what he does.
	And he gets a lot of money for it and only recently went to a non-profit status.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, there's a bunch of stories about just going non-profit.
	But this is at OFA.US and you'll see where all this is coming from.
	And it's Obama.
	Yeah.
	No, it is.
	It's also known as Obama for America, not just OFF. Obama for America.
	Less than 10 minutes to go.
	And it's your 10-minute warning.
	I would like to play one more clip.
	This is my last one.
	I've got a couple things to hold over for Sunday.
	I'm very excited about that.
	I bet you are.
	But we have, you know, now we've had, let's see, racists.
	We've had misogynistics.
	We've had, what else have we had?
	We've had Putin lover.
	We just haven't done enough with.
	Carrying water for the Kremlin.
	Carrying water for the criminal-in-chief with the orange thing on his head.
	We just have not had enough anti-Semitism.
	We need more talk about how this entire administration hates Jews.
	Yeah.
	We really need more of it.
	So, cue Anne Frank Center.
	The president, his silence was deafening.
	His silence is why there is a cancer of anti-Semitism in the White House.
	And its purveyor is President Trump.
	Nothing the president said today, nothing makes that difference.
	It was just a pathetic band-aid on a cancer, and the president And his henchmen, Steve Bannon, a notorious anti-Semite, have done nothing, nothing to change the circumstance.
	What do you want him to do?
	Why don't you tell me that way?
	I want to fire Steve Bannon.
	Second, I want this president to give a major address on anti-Semitism to the far right that is responsible for anti-Semitism in his administration.
	Our president is creating an incubator of hatred.
	When you don't respond to anti-Semitism as well as Islamophobia and racism in real time, when you wait days and sometimes weeks to respond to attacks, you are sending a signal to the haters that hate is okay.
	These incidents didn't occur to the same extent before President Trump took office.
	So, of course, we see a night and day difference.
	The night and day difference began with his election and accelerated with his inauguration.
	It's never enough.
	You can't just apologize.
	You have to apologize quickly and for a whole day.
	That's what he's saying, basically.
	It's very tiring, man.
	Just listen to this list for a second, John.
	For this show, we have titles.
	We never discuss the titles before we end the show, but just listen to this list.
	Milo the Horrible, Hitler's Playbook, President Trump, Fair or Fraudulent, Protozoan, Crickets and Beer, Reverse Globalization, and now Incubator of Hatred.
	I'm liking a lot.
	Yeah, this is what the news is delivering.
	They're doing a piss-poor job of everything, as far as I'm concerned.
	I watch these news shows.
	For one thing, it's not that easy to get too many, because most of the stories are just dull.
	But any time they try to delve into anything, it's just anti-Trump hate.
	And it's always couched in various ways.
	That list that you just gave us is all the different ways of couching it, but it's what it is.
	It's a Democrat party that took over the media, and they still are beside themselves that their girl...
	Didn't get president.
	We got the first black guy.
	We got the first woman.
	Oh my god, now it's possible the Republicans can get the first woman that they have to be able to lord it over us.
	And it's all it is.
	I mean, they don't care about Hillary.
	No.
	Alright, do you want to do one more thing and we can get out or...
	Well, I got to get this a little off topic after what we've been doing, but I got to report on Cal exit.
	That's always good for a laugh.
	Yes.
	What the Californians have always accused the Texans of, of being nut jobs for wanting to leave the union.
	Well, here you go.
	Meanwhile, furious opposition to President Donald Trump's leadership and policies continues to grow across America.
	In the state of California, one in three now thinks secession may be the only solution.
	Here's Caleb Mopan.
	California's not turning back.
	Not now, not ever.
	His truth is marching on.
	If we have to, we'll defund.
	We give tremendous amounts of money to California.
	So you're going to defund.
	California, in many ways, is out of control, as you know.
	Obviously, the voters agree.
	Otherwise, they wouldn't have voted for me.
	Donald Trump and the Golden State are clearly not happy with each other.
	Californians have been approved to start collecting signatures for a state referendum on CalExit.
	CalExit is now trending on social media.
	Inspired by the Scottish independence movement and the Brexit vote across the ocean, Californians are now talking secession.
	They're different.
	We're different from each other.
	And again, so how can one government do a good job?
	It doesn't look like it's done it so far.
	That's your typical Californian, John, up there in Cali.
	That's how we talk about it.
	You just came out of hospital.
	I'm from university.
	I'm wearing a headscarf.
	How can one government do a good job?
	It doesn't look like it's done it so far of representing everyone.
	We have our own government.
	We have an incredibly strong economy.
	Why is this woman on?
	Why is she the spokesman?
	Why?
	Maybe it was to get someone British.
	I think equivalent to France, we're like six largest economy in the world.
	Not just in this country, in the whole world.
	And a lot of people identify Californians as distinct from America.
	California is not a poor state by any means.
	It's got San Francisco, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley, the booming center of computer technology.
	I would love for this to happen.
	A couple things would take place.
	Number one, in Texas, in Austin specifically, we would round them up.
	Where's your paperwork, Californian?
	You got no passport?
	Out.
	Kick him out right away.
	You probably would.
	That's exactly what Austin would like to do.
	And so would Washington State.
	Second, Hollywood?
	35% tax to stream into America.
	You go stream all you want in California.
	You can't stream into our country.
	Well, there's also another element which is brought up as part of California's wealth.
	If you play the rest of it, you'll hear this one little gotcha in there, which I... You won't catch right away.
	Asking, why stay connected to the rest of the country, especially when there's such a big difference in terms of culture and values?
	We have military, we have agriculture, we have strong exports and imports.
	We're just, we're ready.
	I think if we separated, we would be perfectly fine.
	It's just the rest of the country that would be at worry, I guess.
	Ironically, when something big happened, California requested federal money to help with the Oroville Dam crisis.
	Many Californians we spoke to on the streets just don't think California could function as an independent country.
	What do you think of CalExit?
	I don't think it's a good idea because I think that without California, the U.S. would be a pretty bad place.
	I love California.
	It would be cool, but I don't think that's the responsible thing to do for the country as a whole at all.
	I don't think it's a good idea.
	I think that when we were talking about California, we're talking about a huge segment.
	Here in San Francisco, the local police and sheriffs have announced they're not going to enforce Trump's executive orders or cooperate with his immigration crackdown.
	So with local governments so blatantly defying federal authority, is this a sign of a bigger crisis ahead down the road?
	Caleb Boppin, RT, California.
	Ah, they resist we much.
	Now, there's an interesting point that British woman came up with.
	She says, well, we've got agriculture, we've got military, we've got...
	The military is the U.S. military.
	They pull out.
	She doesn't know what she's talking about.
	Just because you've got a big base in San Diego, which is American, doesn't mean, you know, that...
	It's not the California Army.
	Yeah.
	The whole thing is actually...
	It's nutty.
	It's nutty.
	The logical thing to do, and I've written about this in my blog forever, is California really can easily be divided up into three states.
	Right.
	The northern part or Jefferson, which already has a name.
	Then you have the central part of California, which would be from Sacramento down to, I don't know, even Bakersfield or Fresno.
	And then Southern California, they're distinctly different.
	And if you did that, instead of having two senators representing all the people of California, you'd have six.
	That's the way to go.
	And you'd have six senators to represent the people of California in the three different states, and it's easier to manage.
	There's always been a beef between these different areas.
	This really has no chance of ever happening, does it?
	No.
	None whatsoever.
	But it's funny.
	I do have one last little clip just as a joke.
	Okay.
	I gave you the 10-minute warning, so don't complain to me.
	This is just a medley I picked up from one of the channels of Obama in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, and then the spokesman for the...
	This is just a funny bit about Obama saying we're never going to have boots on the ground.
	We've heard these clips before, but putting them together is funny.
	I will not put American boots on the ground in Syria.
	We should not be drawn once more into a long and costly ground war.
	it will not involve american combat troops fighting on foreign soil the resolution we've submitted today does not call for the deployment of u.s ground combat forces to iraq or syria i'm just curious if this is like part of some kind of devious grand strategy to say one thing and then do the complete opposite of it i mean there's no point in arguing the boots on the ground rhetoric It's absolutely no point.
	I'm not disputing the fact that we have troops on the ground and they're wearing boots.
	That was one of my favorites.
	Classic.
	Well, just so you know, the No Agenda show actually has boots on the ground everywhere.
	We do have people who work in places of great wealth of information.
	Yes, we do our best.
	All right.
	Sunday, we'll be back for another program.
	I will be doing the show from Fayetteville, also known as Fayetnam, Arkansas, from the Airstream of Consciousness.
	What's in Fayetteville?
	Tina's daughter goes to school there.
	It's a mother's weekend.
	Oh, this is the University of Arkansas?
	Yeah.
	Oh, it's a good school.
	Yeah, and I'll hang out with my dude named Ben friend up there.
	I'm sure we'll have a report.
	Razorbacks.
	Go Razorbacks, yes.
	And another show coming up on Sunday, as I said.
