	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, March 12, 2017.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, episode 9 or 1-1.
	This is no agenda.
	Yeah.
	Diagnosing Alternative Universe Dissociative Disorder.
	And broadcasting live from the darkest corners of the internet here in the downtown area of Austin, Tejas.
	Capital of the Drones, Star State.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I ask the question, if they're saving time, where are they saving it to?
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Yes, nailed it.
	What are they doing with that daylight saving time?
	We got a note from one of our producers.
	Make sure you say saving time.
	It's not savings.
	I know.
	I said it properly.
	It's true.
	It's true.
	Who cares?
	It sucks.
	The only thing that bothers me is...
	It should be savings.
	The extra S stands for sucks.
	For savings.
	Yes.
	I just don't understand why it doesn't happen globally.
	Why is it here now and in Europe it's in two weeks?
	Well, it never used to be at this time.
	They changed it because of popular demand.
	Oh, yes.
	Everybody wanted to get screwed up by this.
	Popular demand, I'm sure.
	No.
	Well, that's what they said.
	Well, we've been through this a million times.
	We go through it every year we bitch and moan.
	Until they reverse it, then it's great because you get an extra hour of sleep.
	Yeah.
	I still think that it's just to mess us up, just to show that the elites have power over us no matter what.
	I have a bunch.
	I'm going to promise what I've promised for the last 10 years.
	Stop, stop, stop, stop.
	What's going to happen?
	No, I'm going to promise.
	I'm going to dig through the archives, which I have a lot of old reel-to-reel tapes, mostly of recordings done in the 20s and 30s, and dig up my...
	Copies of all the Hollywood bigwigs of the era, moaning and groaning about daylight savings time on the one hand, or extolling its virtues on the other.
	Oh, it's almost like an alternate universe piece.
	Yes.
	In fact, it is, not to mention it.
	So how you doing?
	Well, I'm doing pretty good.
	I had a very interesting experience this weekend.
	I don't know if you want to save it for tech news or if you want to hear it right now, but...
	Oh, let's hear it now.
	You brought it up.
	Was it a techy thing?
	Kind of, yeah.
	Former New York banker and I. Oh, okay.
	For a number of reasons.
	You seem to be hanging out with this banker a lot.
	Some kind of hum in the wire today.
	I don't know what's going on.
	Anyway, so I said, well, good, man.
	Why don't you give me the Tesla for the weekend?
	He has the Model S, what is it?
	I think the 90 or something.
	I don't know.
	I'm sure he has the high-end model.
	Yes.
	And Tina and I have already had tickets to see Leanne Rimes at Green Hall in New Braunfels, which is great because that's like a 200-person venue.
	It's very, very small.
	New Braunfels is the place where they make one of the great barbecues, Texas-style barbecues in the world.
	Yeah, and they have the Grist Mill restaurant there.
	There's a lot going on.
	It's touristy, but there's a lot going on there in New Braunfels.
	So this is perfect and a great opportunity, and I've always wanted to test this car.
	I've harped on it enough.
	I think I don't like the idea of battery cars.
	You know that.
	Uh...
	So after some long instruction, because man, there's a lot you got.
	It's very different.
	Have you ever driven one of these, John?
	Have you ever driven the Tesla?
	Yes, once.
	The S or the small one, the first one?
	No, no.
	That thing's...
	No, the S. Yeah, okay.
	So we have to go down I-35.
	The first thing I noticed, by the way, is that you can't open the door.
	Exactly.
	There's a lot of oddities with the remote control.
	You walk up and then the handle pops out or it doesn't.
	You might have to back up and walk up again or use the remote to open it.
	But once you're in, it's very low.
	Very limited.
	It's a sports car.
	Very, very limited visibility for in the city, my personal feeling.
	But the two things that really bug me about the car right off the bat for city driving, very long wheelbase.
	It's like the truck almost.
	You have to really take your corners considering that it's long.
	And I think that's because of the battery.
	You know, it's funny, too, because when you look at one, it just doesn't look that long.
	It looks pretty much like a mid-size anything.
	Well, you feel it immediately.
	And the former banker said, you know, this is something you've got to pay attention to right off the bat.
	Because I think his wife might have nicked a couple corners.
	Clipped something.
	Well, and then there's the next thing.
	The rims on this thing stick out of, you know, are broader than the tire itself.
	So, you know, curb rash is imminent.
	Yes.
	It's not good for a party.
	And it's not curb rash on the tire.
	No, it's on the rim.
	Yeah, which is not good.
	No, and so it already has rash on the rim.
	So not really a...
	Rash on the rim.
	Rash on the rim, everybody.
	So we're going to go down Route 35, which is...
	And we left around 4, 3.30, 4 o'clock.
	So traffic is building up.
	And I-35 can get pretty gnarly.
	Let me tell you something, John.
	This car blew my mind with the autopilot.
	I did not drive to New Braunfels.
	The car drove itself.
	Oh, that's nice.
	And from stop-and-go traffic, we were on the web browser, we're connecting phones, and the car is just driving by.
	In fact, at a certain point, we have to get off I-35, and I'm thinking, I wonder if it'll actually just do that, too.
	That's how comfortable it felt.
	Lane changes, click on...
	Yeah, I never drove one with that feature.
	Oh my god.
	Now, I'm very familiar with adaptive cruise control and with systems that keep you in your lane that'll kind of bop you back into the lane.
	But this was an absolute mind-boggling experience.
	Any car I have in the future, I want this technology in it.
	Here's the problem with the Tesla.
	Besides it being beautifully made, very, very pretty.
	Tina loves it.
	She loves the minimalism of it.
	She thinks it's fantastic.
	I think it's okay, but I've driven these hand-built production cars.
	This isn't what it is, but it feels kind of like a car that someone still built in his garage.
	I don't know if you had that.
	It's all about the suspension.
	It's just certain things.
	It's also glued together.
	Maybe it's the glue.
	So it has a little bit of that feel.
	So at driving, I realize a whole bunch of things start clicking in my head.
	Now, the car has about a 180-mile radius if you're really just driving, if you're not trying to conserve energy, which I don't want to do in the car.
	I just want to drive.
	I don't have to think about it.
	So, you know, the angst of seeing the, and I knew this would happen, seeing the range meter, which looks like a battery.
	White knuckles, yes.
	I drove a slew of electric cars for an article.
	And I've driven them all, and I always kind of push the thing.
	Well, this thing will do X number of miles, supposedly.
	And by the time you're, like, within 20 or 30 of the X number, it's just telling you to get to a charge or you're going to die.
	Right.
	It's horrible.
	Exactly.
	But also just the feeling that we're tootling along and say, hey, let's just see how the pickup is when we're doing 70.
	I floor the thing.
	It's unbelievable.
	There's no doubt about it.
	This is an unbelievable beast of a machine.
	But then immediately, 30 miles gets taken off my range.
	I'm like, I don't like this.
	So I realized that my freedom, the whole idea of an automobile, my freedom has been taken away from me.
	I'm not free to go.
	I see what you're saying.
	You have to find charging stations if you want to do anything outside of the city, really.
	Yeah, it's like cashless society.
	It gets worse.
	And so I really...
	I'm like, okay, I'm not worried about it because we made it back with like 25% of the battery, so it didn't have to charge.
	But if you have to charge, you know, and the banker showed me, he showed me the Tesla kit in the back.
	So here's the, if you have a Tesla charger, which is supercharger, which still takes 45 minutes.
	45 minutes?
	What are you going to do for 45 minutes?
	Okay, whatever.
	Then you have the adapter for chargers that don't fit the Tesla.
	That'll take 8 to 10 hours to charge the battery.
	And then you have pretty much a 110 socket plug, which will take 24 to 36 hours to charge the battery fully.
	Fine.
	So again, on the way back, I just love the technology of the car.
	I think the sound system was okay.
	There's a lot of extras.
	I don't know if he has the super sound system and the suspension and all that.
	But again, the car is driving itself.
	I am absolutely loving this experience.
	Then we get back and we're like, okay, I happen to have a charger in my garage.
	There's a spot where one car can sit there and charge.
	Do I pull in?
	I plug it in, which also takes a little while to figure out because it won't let you plug it in.
	It's like it has to light up red.
	And so it's taking time and I'm tired and we want to go to bed.
	I plug it in.
	The next morning I wake up.
	I think, hmm, you know, there's a lot of people with electric cars in my building.
	Should I now go down at 730 in the morning and unplug since I'm charged and people don't want it?
	I don't want to be seen as a douche.
	So another stressful moment from this vehicle, which is supposed to free me.
	It made me feel great about saving the world from climate change.
	This car would be fantastic if it had an engine.
	Everything else, it's the wrong car for the mission.
	Because you can't use the autopilot in the city.
	Under 50 miles an hour, it gets all wonky, doesn't want to do it.
	It gives you limited autopilotability, whatever that means.
	And that's the only thing it's good for.
	The minute you gotta go anywhere, the car has no range.
	It is completely the stupidest vehicle I have ever seen in my life.
	I would love it if it had an engine.
	Unbelievable.
	Well, this is my conclusion after driving all these little cars, that the Chevy Volt...
	With this little engine.
	It's probably the best.
	It's probably the best ever.
	It's absolutely the best.
	You never get the white knuckle.
	You never get that anxiety.
	You could drive the thing to Seattle.
	It would be running off the little engine, which is a gutless wonder.
	It's like 150 horsepower or something like that.
	Right.
	But you'd get there without worrying about it, and it would be charging the battery as you go, and when the battery got charged, it would turn the engine off and use the battery again.
	Yeah, it was perfect, yeah.
	And what's really perfect about that is that the key to all these electric cars is that in these, like San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Austin, where there's a lot of traffic and you're stopped.
	The motor's not running.
	You're just running around on a little electric battery, so when you're not moving, it's not using any energy at all.
	That's why you get better gas mileage in the city than you do on the road because it's not running, and that is the great thing about it.
	I'm telling you, the Chevy Volt is the one I'd buy if I was going to buy one.
	You know, I almost bought one a couple years ago when we were talking about it, and they had these huge discounts on them.
	But when you really think about it, because I was trying to break this down, it all came together for me what my issue is with this vehicle.
	So what happened, of course, is Elon Musk is a car nut.
	He has a McLaren F1, and he loves vehicles.
	The only way he could build a car is to have someone else pay for it, which is the government, through subsidies, making it a necessity for it to be an electric vehicle.
	This car is unsuitable for every imaginary scenario, except for picking up chicks at the Whataburger, which I'm sure does great.
	It's not a city car.
	There's very limited visibility.
	Again, the wheelbase is a problem.
	It's not a great city car, but that's the only range that it really has to do anything of any use.
	But that autopilot technology, man...
	I wish that was on every car.
	That is absolutely outstanding.
	Well, it probably will be on every car eventually.
	I hope so.
	Probably within a short period of time since that one's already in business.
	But this is just a jerk-off toy for rich people.
	It has nothing to do with the freedom of movement.
	At all, at all, at all.
	Again, Chevy Volt.
	Yeah, gotcha.
	And the new one, by the way, I think is a lot more stylish than the original one.
	I haven't seen the new Chevy Volt.
	Yeah, when you see them side by side, you say, that's interesting.
	They really touched up the styling, so it's a little more modern looking instead of boxy.
	Right.
	Yeah, for in the city, I see it makes total sense.
	For a car like that, you need big windows.
	It has to be small.
	The Volt is small.
	That makes a lot of sense.
	This car...
	But I get it.
	We can make such amazing products.
	It is truly like...
	The first thing Tina said, wow, this looks like an Apple product on the inside.
	It does.
	It's very sleek.
	Just absolutely beautifully made.
	But if only it had an engine.
	I would take the Chevy Volt engine in that thing.
	I would.
	It's all you need.
	Yeah.
	That would make it worth it.
	Anyway, that was my experience.
	I still have the car.
	If anyone has any ideas of what I could do before I have to return it for the test, I'm happy to do it.
	Is it still hooked to the charger?
	No, I went down at 730.
	It felt bad.
	Like, oh, I should unhook it so people don't think I'm hogging the machine.
	There's another issue.
	What's that?
	Yes, a social issue.
	A huge social issue.
	Yeah, I go over to Costco, they got a few charging stations, but they're not, they used to, the curious thing was they used to have a lot more of them when there was no electric cars on the road and that Chevy EV or that GM EV was floating around.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But now they've got a few, but you can see a lot of these places are, you know, they got, like Disneyland's got charging stations up by the front gate for electric cars, but they fill up.
	Yeah, there's not enough of them, for sure.
	Yeah.
	Oh, anyway.
	Well, that's interesting.
	I'm glad you had that experience.
	Yeah, me too.
	And again, again, I love everything about it, except it's just completely useless.
	It's useless.
	100% completely useless.
	Oh, Elon!
	Good work, good work.
	And then last night, South By started here.
	South By Southwest.
	Yes, we've noticed.
	Oh, yeah, on the tweets and stuff.
	Oh, these great news stories.
	Oh, and here, and they have these panel discussions, and they stream them, and you look at it, and you think to yourself, Would I actually want to sit in the audience for this?
	This is dumb.
	They got low-end people saying nothing.
	Yes.
	Well, Apple threw a little podcast party yesterday.
	No, did you go?
	Of course.
	It was like, I should have known better.
	It wasn't really like the typical Apple podcast meetup.
	Because it's South By.
	So they rented out part of a restaurant.
	It was noisy.
	You couldn't really hear.
	You couldn't really talk.
	And I took Sir Jean.
	I took Tina and her daughter and one of her friends.
	Thinking like, I was going to be cool.
	I'm going to be like the pod father walking around.
	People are going to fall to their knees.
	Nobody knows who the hell you were.
	No one knew who I was.
	Except the...
	Hello, I'm Podfather.
	You should have one of those big stickers.
	I should have had it, yeah.
	Or just one of our buttons.
	Oh, the buttons.
	So I didn't look very cool.
	Did have a funny driver, though.
	I think it was Fair that we used.
	And the guy's from Nairobi, and he's been in Austin for 15 years.
	I'm, you know, talking.
	And, you know, I said, where are you before?
	Nairobi.
	He said, did you leave when the Chinese came in?
	Man, this guy lit up.
	He lit up.
	Ah!
	Ah!
	You know about that!
	Ah!
	Everything Chinese.
	The food, everything's made in China.
	I look at my friends and go, I can't eat this.
	Yeah, you can eat it, but you might wind up in a casket.
	Also made in China.
	It was very funny.
	And he said, Trump, and I said, well, it looks like we're going to have the same thing.
	Maybe Trump is going to have the Chinese come and build our infrastructure.
	The guy says, yes, yes, very good.
	They should build the wall.
	They have experience.
	Okay.
	If you ever meet anyone from the continent of Africa, just talk to them about the Chinese.
	They light up like a Christmas tree.
	Yeah, it's still under-discussed in this country.
	Totally.
	We've been discussing it since we started this show.
	I think so, yeah.
	Because I had been briefed by somebody in Germany years ago about it.
	And every time you look into it, it's all true and it's...
	And I don't know why we don't discuss it, but nobody discusses it.
	And also the Chinese could build the railroads.
	I think they have experience with that, too, here in this country.
	Yeah, they could build a railroad all the way to Dusseldorf.
	Oh, man.
	Yeah, so all in all, good times.
	There was a CNN party.
	We considered crashing it, but...
	Well, you should have.
	Apparently, Tapper was there signing pillowcases.
	And I think Bernstein was there as well.
	But what I heard is Bernstein was walking around kind of lost because no one recognized him.
	No one knew who he was.
	That's funny.
	Well, not of your Bernstein.
	No.
	Well, you had the same experience at the so-called podcasting party.
	This is true.
	This is true.
	Oh, and I want to mention, I was completely wrong about Futurama using FaceBag.
	Oh, yes.
	You were, and we got called out for it.
	Yeah, but in my defense, I asked, I said, how long ago did I say that?
	The chat room, frankly, maybe they were yelling I didn't see it, but they should have caught that as a bad mistake, so I apologize.
	Shit happens.
	Yeah, I guess they said it in 2012 or something like that.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So, it happens.
	Uh, okay.
	That's what happens when you don't write your own material.
	Or when you don't write anything, really.
	When you're just doing a show off the cuff.
	Maybe, just to get the media deconstruction going, John, if you don't mind, I'd just like to take us to the gate for a second.
	To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gate.
	To the climate gate.
	It's an excellent example of how mainstream corporate media sometimes not even corporate media because my example that I'm going to use is BBC how they will I have to say purposely take things out of context Government media.
	In this case, it's government media, yes.
	And this is regarding the new head of the EPA, Pruitt, is the appointee who has been confirmed and in the job enrolling.
	And I'm trying to think, should I play the original first or the disinformation first?
	Oh, that's a good question.
	It's always a judgment.
	I would start with the disinformation.
	That's what my inclination was.
	Okay, so this is BBC, and listen very closely to what they are saying...
	Based on an interview that was done on CNBC, what they're saying that the chief of the EPA, what his stance is on carbon dioxide and climate change.
	The man President Trump was put in charge of America's environmental policies has declared he doesn't believe carbon dioxide is a primary cause of global warming.
	A view that goes against the overwhelming body of scientific evidence from researchers around the world.
	Scott Pruitt is a former attorney general of Oklahoma.
	Who's frequently sued the Environmental Protection Agency in the past.
	He also described the Paris Climate Accord to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as a bad deal.
	Here he is speaking to CNBC. I think that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do and there's tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact.
	So no, I would not agree that it's a primary contributor to the global warming that we see.
	Scott Pruitt saying things that are frankly not true to CNBC. Now, I'm going to stop it there.
	Now I'm going to go back to what was originally said, the original soundbite.
	So what is the claim here?
	The new head of the EPA says CO2 has nothing to do with climate change.
	That's what they're saying.
	Which is a reasonable thesis done by a lot of different people.
	But still, what this BBC is claiming is that he just said carbon emissions, you know, CO2 has nothing to do with climate change.
	Nothing.
	Now let's listen to the...
	Which is clearly untrue, which he said.
	He slammed him.
	Butt slammed him.
	Listen, here he says.
	...contributor to the global warming that we see.
	Scott Pruitt saying things that are frankly not true to CNBC. Frankly not true.
	Frankly not true.
	Now let's listen to what is true.
	Why don't you just let the guy talk?
	Why do you have to put this little two cents worth in at the end?
	Because it's Trump people.
	Okay, I know.
	I'm actually screwing up with your point that you're trying to make, which was just taken out of context, but go on.
	Here's the actual original interview quote.
	Let me ask you one other thing, just to get to the nitty-gritty.
	Do you believe that it's been proven that CO2 is the primary control knob for climate?
	Do you believe that?
	No, I think that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do, and there's tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact.
	So no, I would not agree that it's a primary contributor to the global warming that we see.
	Okay.
	We don't know that yet.
	We need to continue the debate and continue the review and analysis.
	Oh, well, gee, BBC, where was that part of the interview?
	So they just took one thing that they wanted to slam and put it in.
	This is why we do the No Agenda show.
	Thank you.
	Because this is going on and people need to be reminded of this.
	I'm glad you did that clip.
	This is par for the course.
	Big time.
	Bigly.
	They have an agenda.
	They're going to just take anybody.
	You can't say anything.
	Your best bet is just to stay out of the media.
	Don't get quoted because they're just getting misquoted.
	In fact, Joe Kernan, who is conducting this interview, kind of says that here in the last 20 seconds.
	It's a...
	I agree.
	When I hear the science has settled, it's like I never heard that science actually got to a point where it was.
	That's the whole point of science, is that you keep asking questions, you keep asking questions.
	But I don't want to be called a denier, so, you know, it scares me.
	It's a terrible thing to be called.
	Anyway, Administrator Pruitt, I know you don't want to be called that either.
	Thanks for being with us this morning.
	I appreciate it.
	The science is in!
	Science!
	Everybody's afraid.
	And he didn't say what the BBC claimed he said.
	I just want to play the opening of that BBC clip again so you can hear it.
	The man President Trump was put in charge of America's environmental policies has declared he doesn't believe carbon dioxide is a primary cause of global warming.
	He didn't say that.
	He did not say.
	He said, we have...
	It's very difficult to measure.
	Yeah, he didn't even...
	Yeah, that was a complete...
	That's malarkey.
	Malarkey, yes.
	It's malarkey.
	It goes on the word list.
	Ah, do you want to do the word list?
	I'm sure you have plenty of suggestions.
	You want to save that for a little later.
	Let's save it because I don't have any of those screens up that have...
	A lot of people wrote in with some interesting stuff.
	My favorite one, I'll mention what it is, which is the...
	You have more of that than Carter has pills.
	Yes, that is a good one.
	Where does that come from?
	No, I've never heard it, but I saw the email go back and forth.
	Who is Carter and why did he have pills?
	Well, yes, there was a very popular...
	Patent medicine that everyone used, it's like Geritol.
	I don't know what Geritol does.
	Geritol was an iron supplement in the 1950s and 60s that you take a couple spoons full and you'll all be peppy because we weren't getting enough iron in our diet.
	That's my guess.
	Carter's refers to Carter's Little Liver Pills.
	Oh!
	Nice.
	And there were these little pills, and I guess, I don't know what was in them, liver, I guess.
	I don't know.
	Yeah, liver oil, castor oil, or liver oil, or something like that?
	Yeah, probably liver oil, because cod liver oil was extremely popular as the liver oil substitute.
	In fact, if Alex Jones had been in business back then, he would have been selling it.
	Yes.
	InfoWars cod liver oil.
	So Carter's Little Liver Pills, I believe, and I'm not sure we can look it up, but they were very popular, and they were little pills.
	I don't know how that phrase got into play.
	Somebody threw it into play, and probably some radio personality, maybe.
	Well, I want to throw one at you then, just because you gave us one, I'll give you one.
	Have you ever heard the phrase, there will be blood on the moon?
	Yes, I have.
	My parents would say that all...
	Adam Curry.
	Adam Clark Curry, if my mom was really pissed.
	Adam Clark Curry.
	If you do that, there will be blood on the moon!
	And it sounded bad.
	I don't know where it comes from.
	Blood on the moon is a phenomenon of an eclipse called blood on the moon.
	And I'm not sure why that phrase got into play.
	But yeah, I've heard it.
	I didn't hear it much.
	Apparently it was his mainstay at your place, but I've heard it.
	Okay, yeah.
	Well, as this progresses, some people are coming up with weird ones that are just like never heard of it, and it's in some part of England.
	It's a Cockney phrase.
	Yeah.
	We're looking for stuff like Carter's Little Liver Pills or Carter's, more than Carter's has pills kind of thing.
	Yeah, things that are really cultural references to back in the day.
	Yeah.
	That could make a comeback.
	I think that's another item.
	Yes, that could make a comeback.
	Tina gave me one.
	I'll give you something to cry about.
	That's one of my favorites.
	I like that.
	I guess you heard that a lot, too.
	It's like, why I oughta.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Alright, onward.
	Do you want to do something offbeat?
	We can listen.
	What?
	I'm here.
	I have some thoughts about your keyboard and I want to do that after the donation segment, so remind me.
	I want to hear it now.
	No, I'm not going to do it now.
	I've done a story already.
	We're moving on and we need some clips.
	Alright, let's start.
	What's going to happen on March 15th?
	Let's listen to this random podcaster that I pulled off on the internet discussing some of the elements of March 15th, which is next Friday.
	Is that not the Ides of March?
	Yeah, it is the Ides of March.
	It also happens to be, they don't mention it in this clip, but they kind of show it on a video.
	This March 15th will mark the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Agreement, a bunch of Rothschild stuff.
	500-year anniversary of this and 100-year anniversary of the Rothschilds taking over the world and one thing after another.
	So a lot of Rothschild action on March 15th along with the Fed and all kinds of stuff, including the one little item I thought was interesting.
	March 15th also happens to be the day that the Fed is going to insanely raise interest rates.
	I mean, just the increase in rates and the dollar in the past week alone since this gamut to push precious metals down.
	I mean, I don't even know why they're doing this.
	Are they trying to get back at Trump or what?
	But, I mean, it's going to cause the economy, which grew at 1.9%, if you believe the Cook numbers in the fourth quarter, now it's down to 1.2% for the first quarter.
	It'll probably be negative in the second quarter.
	I mean, it's theoretically like one of the longest expansions in history.
	We have to have a recession at some point.
	And if the Fed raises rates here, it's going to seal that doom.
	So that is a big, big event, those two events on that same day.
	And, oh, yeah, it happens to be the day of the Dutch election as well, which will get the ball rolling in these anti-Euro, anti-EU populist movements in Europe.
	Of course, the big one is France a month later.
	And so, yeah, I just, you know, the key word is crisis.
	Yeah.
	Well, we always say beware of the Ides of March.
	Yes, we do.
	And let me just break that down for a second.
	So I think the Fed rate hike, I don't see that as a disruptive factor.
	I think that's been built in.
	Everybody knows about it.
	Everybody expects it.
	I don't see that as a disruptive factor.
	I think Wilder's getting in could change.
	Well, and there's a lot to talk about the Netherlands.
	But before we go there, let's just talk for a second about the stock market economy.
	Mainly because I have two things, two clips here.
	Let's talk about it because I've got a clip.
	Exactly.
	Well, it's planned.
	This is like we're flowing from one into the next.
	Back to CNBC. And again, this is part of the NBC family who are very anti-Trump.
	They really don't like him very much.
	But Joe Kernan should be careful if he likes his job because he's saying stuff like this.
	Whether you love President Trump or you're still resisting or whatever it is, you look at guys like Icahn or Wilbur Ross or Gary Cohn or Richard LaFrac and you look at what we're trying to do And I just don't see how you can't come away saying, I feel like we might be in more competent hands that we've been in than when we had 8% of the private sector represented in the last administration.
	Would you make that same case?
	Yeah, I would agree with that 100%.
	You know, you've got people there who've been successful in business, and the same things that make a successful business run with regard to having a vision, getting the right people in place, holding them accountable, those work for any organization, whether it's a nonprofit or a government.
	They're all liking what's going on in Washington.
	What show was this?
	That's on CNBC in the morning.
	CNBC, yes.
	Well, a couple of things you've got to remember.
	CNBC is a go-go, bull market oriented.
	Yeah, that's their job.
	Buy, buy, buy, never sell, never short.
	They don't have a show on CNBC called The Shorts Selling Expert.
	The Shorts.
	It's just to be called The Shorts.
	The Shorts.
	They don't have those guys.
	And so, because Trump has jacked the market up in the so-called Trump boom.
	Which, by the way, is exactly what the Shorts want to see.
	Oh yeah, shorts want to see things completely out of control.
	So they can get in high and ride it all the way down.
	But the CNBC really hasn't...
	They have little snide remarks on some of the shows.
	Yeah.
	Amongst themselves, because the journalists that run some of the, especially the opening bell or not the closing bell show and some of these other shows, these aren't investors.
	Oh, no, no.
	This is retail.
	This is retail.
	People who are just being played.
	Hey, go buy that.
	Okay.
	But a show like Fast Money is of professionals, and it tends to have a little more objectivity than some of these other shows which have Trump-hating liberal...
	Just to generalize, but it's a fact.
	Trump-hating liberal journalists...
	So we had another economy-related issue, which was the jobs report.
	And I just want to remind us of a few of these numbers and why it's confusing and why sweaty Sean Spicer is not doing a good job.
	He's funny, but he's not doing a good job of explaining what's happening.
	So I think the jobs number is 235,000 or 238,000 new jobs.
	That is a plus number.
	We need at least 150,000 just to stay equal month to month.
	So it's a plus number.
	And of course, you can expect everyone to say, oh, well, that was because of Obama.
	That may even be fair.
	It doesn't matter.
	But the problem here is twofold.
	One, do not equate it to the unemployment numbers.
	Sean slipped in and like, oh, it's 4.7% unemployment.
	You cannot validate those numbers.
	You've said they were phony, said they were bogus.
	You can't use them now that they're good.
	That is not the number of jobs.
	The number of new jobs is probably correct, based on whatever metrics we have.
	But what everyone's referring to in this particular clip is that not just Trump, but Jack Welch, just before the election, if you recall, they had a huge jobs number.
	And everyone went like, that's bogus!
	That's just to make it look good for the re-election process.
	And then the next month, they went back and said, oh, we discounted, and they had to take off almost all of those numbers.
	Do you recall?
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, they were doing that all throughout the election season.
	But it was really blatant when you have...
	That was a bad one.
	That's the one where Jack Welch came out.
	Yes, yeah.
	And then everyone called Jack Welch.
	Jack Welch is an old man.
	Yeah, he's an idiot.
	Shut up, go away.
	Jack Welch.
	Jack Welch.
	So Sean Spicer got questions about this, and the question was correct.
	Trump has called these numbers, and in this case it would be the number of jobs, phony in the past, excellent opportunity to really explain something to the press, to the media, maybe to the American public if it ever gets through.
	But instead he made a joke, which is also kind of funny.
	In the past, the president has referred to particular job reports as phony or totally fiction.
	Does the president believe that this jobs report was accurate and a fair way to measure the economy?
	Yeah, I talked to the president prior to this, and he said to quote him very clearly, they may have been phony in the past, but it's very real now.
	And everybody liked it.
	That actually is funny.
	Yeah, it was funny.
	Yeah, and he's getting kind of...
	He's a doofus, but he's getting kind of funny.
	He's doing a little bit of shtick here and there.
	You know what?
	He needs a writer.
	He needs a couple of comedy writers in the back room.
	Yeah, good point.
	That would be good for him.
	I mean, Reagan, who's a Hollywood pro...
	You know, you saw, according to people that worked with him, he started every day with a new joke, started every day with a new joke, and he had on staff a couple of writers, because he worked in Hollywood, he knows it's, you know, It's a collaborative business.
	Unless you're a stand-up comic writing your own material constantly, which is rare, you hire a couple of joke writers.
	They get zingers all day.
	You could be hilarious as a president if you had a couple of guys feeding you some material.
	Well, he certainly needed it in this next Q&A regarding Michael Flynn.
	And I'm disappointed in this Flynn business, man.
	I thought this guy was on the up and up.
	Now we have...
	Comes word that he registered after he resigned, was fired, etc.
	He registered as a lobbyist for Turkey because he had made $530,000 lobbying for Turkey while he was a part of the campaign.
	Yeah.
	That's why he had to register.
	Somebody said, shh, shh.
	No kidding.
	You're going to get burned if you don't do it.
	You're going to go to jail.
	Yeah, you're going to get in big trouble.
	So sweaty Sean, he doesn't know how to handle this one.
	This week, Flynn officially filed as a foreign agent for the work he did during the campaign.
	And that's how the White House says the president learned of his work on Turkey's behalf.
	Are you saying the president was not aware that Lieutenant General Michael Flynn was acting as a foreign agent when he appointed him to be National Security Advisor?
	Correct.
	Well, and just remember, you wouldn't know that until he filed.
	He didn't file until two days ago, so therefore nobody would have known that because he hadn't filed as a foreign agent until two days ago.
	Still, the White House acknowledges...
	Let's listen to that again.
	Well, and just remember, you wouldn't know that until he filed.
	He didn't file until two days ago, so therefore nobody would have known that because he hadn't filed as a foreign agent until two days ago.
	Actually, it makes...
	It's not...
	It's not pretty.
	It's not pretty, but I think it's a real sentence.
	As a foreign agent, until two days ago.
	Still, the White House acknowledges Flynn's lawyers told lawyers for the Trump transition team that he might need to register as a foreign agent.
	But they insist Flynn never told Trump himself.
	That may or may not be true, but that's very, very bad.
	I'm guessing there's something...
	Well, here's the problem.
	I know what the something is.
	The something is Turkey, and we've been saying for years, this is the problem.
	This NATO member is a big problem.
	They're funding crap in Syria.
	These guys are up to no good.
	They're now angry with everybody.
	Germany.
	Relations between Germany and Turkey are still far from friendly, despite attempts by Berlin to less intentions.
	In Ankara, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged Turkish voters living abroad not to be put off, casting their ballots in the country's upcoming referendum, despite so-called German-led obstacles.
	Those votes you cast will be the best response, not just to all the countries in the West, but to all the countries in the world.
	God willing, April the 16th will be the day that my citizens who have been hindered in the West and around the world will also celebrate.
	Earlier, the foreign ministers of both countries met in Berlin in an attempt to defuse the diplomatic crisis, which has culminated with Erdogan accusing German officials of Nazi practices.
	Germany's Sigmar Gabriel said talks had been friendly and open, but also contentious and hard.
	I made it clear that equations of modern Germany with Nazi Germany and attacks against democracy and justice are not acceptable.
	Turkey is angry that several rallies designed to encourage support among expats for the April referendum, which will increase President Erdogan's power, have been cancelled.
	On Wednesday evening, Turkish Foreign Minister Melvo Çavuşalu repeated the Nazi comparison from the country's consular residence in Hamburg.
	Let me explain what is happening here.
	And it would have been better if it was happening on March 15th, because that would have given a lot of credence to the Ides of March.
	But Erdogan has a referendum coming up in April.
	And the referendum gives him expanded powers, constitutional powers.
	And, of course, his party wants this.
	But it's going to put him...
	And he already built a palace.
	I mean, he's a president, but he built an actual palace that he's living in.
	This thing is unbelievable.
	Take a look at it.
	So he wants a referendum for expanded constitutional powers.
	And the Germans, of course, don't like this.
	The Dutch really don't like this.
	And we got into a big problem last night, late last night.
	Here's what was happening.
	It is forbidden by Dutch law for any foreign politicians to come to the Netherlands and hold rallies, etc., for elections that are not in the country.
	It's just a rule.
	Right.
	Can I just interrupt for a second before you leave Germany completely and discuss this?
	Because I've been watching DW, and I didn't get any of these clips, but this is exactly what they're talking about.
	What's happened in Germany and why they're being called Nazis is because they're having these huge Turkish rallies with these Turkish politicians who are coming into these giant venues with all these Turks, because Germany is filled with Turks, and they're giving these speeches, and the German public, they've done two or three studies...
	And the German public is something like 80 to 6 against these things because they're interfering with commerce.
	They're causing a big headache.
	It's a mess with all these big rallies.
	And so they put a stop to it.
	And that's when they started being called their Nazis for not letting us do this.
	Exact same thing happened last night in the Netherlands with the addition that there was a, I think the foreign minister from Turkey was not allowed to land in Rotterdam because they said, hey, you're not coming here.
	You can't do these speeches.
	No, it's not going to happen.
	So she landed in Germany, then drove up to the consulate in Rotterdam, and she was refused access to Rotterdam by the authorities who said, we're taking, I mean, she was in her armored car.
	They almost, they were considering towing the car back to Germany.
	She would not leave.
	And then the Turks started rioting.
	And there's a lot of Turks.
	The Turks were actually, you know, pretty calm in the Netherlands.
	The Moroccans were a bigger problem.
	So now the Turks are rioting.
	It's a big mess.
	And here's a report.
	Relations between Turkey and the Netherlands are on shaky ground amid a growing diplomatic spat over Turkish campaigning in Holland.
	After the Dutch government barred Turkey's foreign minister from landing in Rotterdam, the row reached new levels late on Saturday night, when the Turkish family affairs minister was prevented from entering the consulate.
	Family affairs.
	Dutch broadcasters reported that Fatma Batulsaya Kaya was detained before being escorted out of the country.
	She had traveled to Rotterdam from Germany after the Dutch authorities revoked landing rights for the foreign minister.
	She insisted on entering the consulate to address roughly 2,000 people who had gathered outside for a rally to support the constitutional reforms that would extend President Erdogan's powers.
	It is to be put to a referendum vote in April.
	The latest developments follow a fiery war of words, with Erdogan branding the fellow NATO member a Nazi remnant for barring the Foreign Minister's Rally, while the Dutch Premier responded that the comments were crazy.
	The anger filtered down...
	I can just hear, this is totally crazy.
	This is just crazy.
	We can't have it in our country.
	No, this is just crazy.
	Not going to happen.
	Foreign Minister's Rally, while the Dutch Premier responded that the comments were crazy.
	Crazy.
	The anger filtered down to the streets of Rotterdam, where riot police broke up protests outside of the Turkish consulate by force.
	The exact same thing.
	Oh, you're Nazi holdovers.
	And of course, the reason for these giant rallies is to get people to send in their absentee ballots.
	Yes, which is, yes, exactly.
	And there's like, you know, a lot of Turks in Germany, and I guess Holland too, but It's, the whole thing is just, it's extremely weird to me.
	Well, not being reported is, and I don't have an official translation, but there's the video of Erdogan saying, hey, maybe we should open up our borders.
	He's threatening with that again now.
	Oh, maybe we should just flood everybody into Europe.
	Hmm.
	Yeah.
	And I told, this guy is no good.
	No, he's no good.
	So what was Flynn doing with them?
	I don't know.
	That's no good.
	Well, you don't know.
	It could have been counterintelligence, for all you know.
	You don't really know.
	If it had something to do with Gulen, maybe.
	Maybe.
	I don't know.
	But I just don't know.
	No, and we're not going to ever find out.
	No, probably not.
	Just that Flynn's a bad guy, and goodbye Flynn.
	That's it.
	Well, Erdogan, this is not a good guy.
	No, the guy's terrible and so is Gulan.
	All these guys.
	They used to have normal people running that place.
	Anyway.
	Back in the day.
	Just a little switcheroo here.
	Since you brought up Holland, that always reminds me of bicycles.
	Yes.
	And they have a new thing going on in China.
	I said in the newsletter it would be a little more international.
	They have a new shared bicycle action going on in China that is resulting...
	In other words, if you go to Beijing and some of these other cities now, there's these colorful bicycles.
	You just jump on one and take off.
	And I think there's some place in Europe they may have this sort of thing.
	I think San Francisco...
	But you don't have to pay for them?
	No.
	Well, you're supposed to pay.
	I think you have to have a fee, some sort of a fee, but there's no...
	I don't see any way of collecting the fee.
	Because we have bikes here in Austin that have a rack and you got to swipe your card and yeah.
	Whatever the case, they have, and I said that, they have, they've been running into a problem, because what happens is that nobody gives a crap, they jump on a bike, they go here, and they just throw the bike in the bushes.
	Yeah.
	They throw the bike down wherever it is in the sidewalks, but it's making a huge mess, even though it's so idealistic.
	So let's play this clip.
	If you visit any of China's major cities this spring, you're sure to notice a myriad of colorful bikes going around.
	You're witnessing China's growing shared bikes market in action and is one that has really taken off in the past 12 months.
	Users can jump on a random bike and for a small fee reach their destination before parking it appropriately for the next user.
	It certainly makes for a greener and cleaner environment.
	But as our reporter Li Nan tells us from Shanghai, not everyone is happy with the new trend.
	The few weeks before the annual two-sessions meeting in Beijing is always the busiest time of the year for MPC Deputy Zhu Guoping.
	Serving just her second turn in Congress, she says she's always keen to hear the views and insights of the people in her district.
	And this year, the burgeoning shared bikes industry is on many people's minds.
	Many people park the shared bikes in our community.
	They occupy the parking space, green areas, even the passageways.
	Our community used to be clean and tidy, but they're causing so much inconvenience.
	Well, they're not doing it right.
	There's only one way to do it, and the Dutch have proven it.
	Okay.
	Everybody has a bike.
	Everybody's bike gets stolen.
	When your bike gets stolen, you just look at the bridge and you steal someone else's bike.
	That's how the system works.
	You use that bike, you don't lock it, you just put it against the bridge where you get a destination.
	It'll probably get stolen.
	If not, you're lucky.
	If you do, you steal another one.
	Well, that, I don't...
	I don't think that applies to what the problem is here.
	You're talking about they're just leaving these bikes all over the place.
	They don't have any one place to put them.
	They just throw them into the bushes.
	They throw them into the driveways.
	They put them on somebody's stair steps.
	Right.
	How would that other model make that any different?
	They'd still be dropping these bikes everywhere.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	You put it on the bridge.
	Everyone ties it up to the bridge or the lamppost.
	And you just lean it against the bridge of the lamppost.
	If it's still there when you come back, great.
	Otherwise, you take a different one.
	And it's all in the same place.
	They don't just dump them when they're done.
	It's a very odd system.
	No, they have that system in China, but they're still dumping these new bikes everywhere, it seems.
	At least that's the complaint.
	I don't know if the culture matches that well.
	I don't think so at all.
	The Dutch have a long history of wanting their bicycle back.
	I didn't know that they were stealing bikes left and right like that.
	Ask anyone from Amsterdam.
	Yeah, my bike got stolen.
	So that's an interesting thing.
	I don't want to get off the track on this bicycle thing, but that reminds me of this great desire by people in the San Francisco Bay Area and less or so in Los Angeles, but especially in the San Francisco Bay Area, to be Amsterdam and let's all have bikes.
	And they put these bicycle lanes in where we once had four lanes, now it's two lanes and two bicycle lanes that nobody uses.
	Exactly.
	It's what happens.
	And the thing is, if this model of using, of just stealing and stealing bikes and losing bikes and stealing bikes, that wouldn't...
	The difference is that here, these...
	There's bikers that don't obey any laws that are trying to get all the laws changed now so that they don't have to obey the normal laws.
	In other words, you don't have to stop at stop signs.
	They can kitty-corner through an intersection when they feel like it.
	They can do anything they want, which is what they want to do.
	They're trying to get these new laws passed.
	These bikes, they're driving around.
	Some of them cost like $1,200.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	They're not buying those junkers that they bike around in Holland.
	Also, thank you.
	Thank you for mentioning that.
	It's very difficult to buy a bicycle in the United States that is a utility bicycle.
	It's either a mountain bike, a racing bike, or they call it a cruiser, which is just a dumb bike.
	You need one with a big thing on the front.
	You can put your groceries in, something on the back, so you can carry your girlfriend on the back.
	That doesn't exist.
	The bikes, that's dumb.
	No, the bikes that you see in Holland when you're walking around Amsterdam, hoping not to get plowed into by one of them, they have all these kudermans on top of this.
	Yeah, utilities.
	It's a utility.
	Yeah, it's like a clunky.
	Yeah.
	Here, you got the bike lane.
	The guy has got some $1,200, $2,500, $5,000 bike.
	He's wearing all the gear as though he's sponsored by Adidas.
	He's got all the stuff with a helmet that's got a bunch of labels all over.
	He looks like a NASCAR driver.
	And he's pumping his ass up the road as fast as he can as though he's a professional.
	Hey, stop it.
	Yeah, we got a lot of that here.
	A lot.
	Yeah.
	Well, you got the guy who started it.
	I think that a lot of people are talking about if I could just change topics.
	Talking about deep state and all these kinds of terms.
	Something that you said a while ago I think just sticks with me.
	We just call it the machine.
	Because the machine is so much bigger than just the deep state.
	It's the media.
	It's all the pieces that fit together.
	And the machine is very, very, very powerful.
	May not be possible to break the machine.
	If anybody wants to read about the machine...
	And it's this early discovery.
	You want to read the books of Lewis Mumford.
	Yes.
	I ordered that book that you recommended.
	Well, he did about...
	If you look at his bibliography, he's done probably 20 books.
	Most of them about the machine.
	And all of them are fantastic.
	But his stuff in the 30s, if you can read those until about 1950...
	He was very upset by World War II. So were a lot of people.
	They're so insightful, and they're not taught anymore.
	Nobody reads these books.
	And I would recommend any No Agenda listener to just start reading Mumford.
	Just casually, you go to a bookstore and find a hardcover copy in a used bookstore, and it'll be a buck.
	Or two.
	And just buy them when you see them and just read them.
	They're all terrific.
	Right.
	So Monica Crowley got munched by the machine.
	As we already discussed, there was a hit piece on her that she was a...
	Plagiarist.
	Plagiarist.
	Thank you.
	Which turned out to not be true.
	But in this little piece here, I can't remember if this was, maybe it might have been on Fox.
	In this little piece here, she explains, she really explains what happened to her and I think she kind of gives a quick overview of the machine and its power.
	In some ways, I was something of the canary in the coal mine.
	The attack on me was a test.
	What happened to me, what happened to General Flynn, what has happened to Attorney General Sessions and others, is all of a piece.
	There is a very dangerous and very effective destabilization campaign underway against this president, his administration, and his agenda.
	And what I hope that the president and his senior aides understand is that these forces are not just looking to delegitimize him.
	We often talk about that.
	Sure, they want to do that.
	They want to personally destroy him, destroy his presidency, and they would like to see the man in prison.
	I hope that the president understands.
	I am not overstating this, having been a victim of this myself.
	They are out for blood.
	And the reason they have to destroy him is that Donald Trump is an alien organism that has been injected into the body politic by the American people to reform it.
	He must not be allowed to succeed.
	They have swarmed him.
	They have swarmed everybody around him in order to reject him out of the system, just like any alien organism.
	He must not be allowed to succeed.
	And I hope that everybody around him now understands that this is a war and that they started a long time ago, but they will not end until they get the President of the United States.
	So, Canary in the Coal Mine, kind of an old reference.
	I like that.
	That was a great clip.
	Where'd you get that?
	Fox, I believe.
	Huh.
	Yeah.
	Well, Fox is holding its own.
	Here, play this then.
	This is the CNN. They had a guy who's a...
	See, I did a lot of, I got some good CNN stuff, by the way.
	See, and this is the Deep State Convo is the name of the clip.
	And it's a discussion between one of their CNN international hosts and some guy who's their CNN's, one of the analysts that they have.
	And it's interesting because he makes this flub.
	That's kind of like stands out to me.
	She didn't even notice it.
	She goes on and on.
	They're talking about the deep state.
	Well, the theory behind a deep state or a deep government, if you will, and again, you mentioned there's a New York Times article recently that discussed this, is take the United States, for example.
	The theory would go something along the lines of inside the U.S. government, you have a group of federal employees who have organized themselves against the legally elected president of the United States, Donald Trump, because they don't like his policies.
	They disagree with him and what they can't gain in an election they're going to try to undermine from within within the government.
	And of course, their favorite their favorite their favorite weapon, if you will, if you believe the theory would be the leaks that you were referring to previously.
	Stephen, we know that leaking is not new.
	We know that intelligence officers are apolitical.
	So why are we seeing this level of leaking?
	Leaks that, as you mentioned, has resulted in the swift removal of Michael Flynn.
	Well, not being a social scientist, I haven't gone over the data and seen whether there has been an increase in leaks.
	There has certainly been a high impact of the leaks.
	Recently, I think Mike Flynn is a good example.
	And again, if you buy into the theory of the deep state, what would have happened there is the intelligence community would have leaked the information specifically with regard to Flynn being in touch with Russian Ambassador Kislyak in Washington and discussing with him perhaps the rollback of sanctions against Russia once the president was inaugurated.
	He goes on and on.
	But the thing that got me was this little flub.
	I don't know if you caught it.
	I did not.
	At the very beginning, he says the illegally elected president.
	The theory behind a deep state or a deep government, if you will, and again, you mentioned there's a New York Times article recently that discussed this, is take the United States, for example.
	The theory would go something along the lines of inside the U.S. government, you have a group of federal employees who have organized themselves against the illegally elected president.
	Yeah, very good.
	But maybe he was using that as an example.
	That's how they think.
	Yeah, I'm sure that's what he was doing.
	Either way, that's...
	The way it was presented to anyone just listening to it, oh yeah, that horrible illegally elected...
	Right, right.
	Which is one of the little memes you want to get in there anyway, because they're trying to pin everything on the Russians.
	Now, if you don't mind me playing a few more of these CNN clips...
	Of course.
	Go for it.
	I caught...
	I don't know if I can do this for much longer, but I recorded the AM Joy...
	Ah, Joy Reid.
	Yeah!
	She is a superstar.
	Wait, but she's not CNN. She's MSNBC. Yes, she is.
	I'm sorry I said CNN. As if there's a big difference.
	She has a Saturday morning show, which is probably...
	Viewed by nobody.
	But what she does, and by the way, I wanted just a little background to hear from people who watch Joy Reid.
	The fact that she always has David Korn, her buddy, on.
	Oh, that's the guy with the bogus report.
	Mother Jones guy.
	Yes, yes.
	Now, both of those people, Joy Reid and David Korn, amongst a half dozen other MSNBC employees, We're all on, if you remember in 2007, 2008, there was this discussion group called the Journalist.
	Yes, of course, yes.
	And there was a big brouhaha about it.
	It was a big brouhaha because if you looked at their emails, they were conspiring to slant their coverage in favor of Barack Obama over Hillary and everybody else.
	Yes, yes, I remember.
	And they were all stuffy about it.
	Joy Reid was one of the Journalist people, and so was David Korn.
	And so she has a lot of these people still from...
	And the list is available.
	You can type...
	And it's J-O-U-R-N-O, capital L-I-S-T. You can find the list of the...
	I think there's been about 155 of them that have been identified in this talk, in this...
	It was a list server, I think.
	It was a list server, right?
	And so they were all going back and forth and making these schemes, and they're still doing it.
	This thing has been reformed in various forms, but it hasn't been as blatantly outed as this was.
	So you have to have it in mind that she is one of these people.
	So let's listen to her and their attitude and the fact that these guys are stooges for somebody, for the machine, we'll call it.
	Joy Reid on WikiLeaks.
	WikiLeaks.
	They've released a cache of documents damaging U.S. intelligence efforts.
	A senior U.S. official briefed on the damage, says it's going to make it harder to collect on terrorists, on the Russians, on the Chinese, you name it.
	At what point do we begin to just openly say, listen, Julian Assange is not some defender of freedom and transparency.
	He's an anti-U.S. anarchist.
	Pro-Russia, whatever you want to call it.
	Well, I think we start back on July 23rd when both I and Paul Krugman, Krugman wrote an article in the New York Times calling WikiLeaks out.
	And on the same day, I made media statements calling them a Russian laundromat.
	WikiLeaks is no defender of transparency.
	They are a wholly owned subsidiary of Russian intelligence.
	And they have no problem releasing things in timed releases that benefit only two entities, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
	So you know you're onto something when this guy, this cook guy is an ex-support agent.
	Yeah.
	And she's got him on.
	She has the same usual.
	People you don't see a lot show up on Saturday morning on AM Joy to the audience of I Can't Imagine.
	50,000, I'm sure.
	I doubt it.
	It's got to have 50.
	No, no, no.
	I really don't think so.
	I think if you really could get the numbers, it would probably be in the 30s or 40s.
	Or asterisk, which is actually a rating.
	Joy Reid on WikiLeaks 2.
	There has never been a document released from Russian intelligence or anybody that's opposed to Julian Assange.
	But now, 48 hours after Donald Trump makes an amazing statement, Stunning, historic lie to the American public where he says that a former president of the United States wiretapped him in the electoral campaign, which we all know is not true.
	WikiLeaks comes out and releases this giant tranche of documents showing how the CIA would have done it.
	This guy's going on to...
	Wait, hold on.
	I want to mention one thing.
	In reviewing the New York Times article that talked about the wiretapping, I wanted to mention that on the front page, it actually used the words wiretapped.
	It's subtle.
	It's a subtle piece of information.
	But Trump, it was consistent in using the same verbiage that the New York Times used.
	And I didn't really realize that they used wiretapped.
	Interesting.
	Yeah.
	Well, to skip ahead, because that guy was going on, we know it's not true.
	We know, we do, we know it's not true.
	Here, Playa Kucinich, who came out on Fox to talk to Shannon Bream, because he was really irked about this.
	I want to get to another important story, because you have now gone public with a situation you believe mirrors a little bit of what the president is saying has happened to him, This allegation that there was some kind of wiretapping.
	There are a lot of investigations going on saying they're going to look into that.
	You say something similar happened to you back in 2011.
	You say this, I can vouch for the fact that extracurricular surveillance does occur regardless of whether it is officially approved.
	I was wiretapped in 2011 after taking a phone call in my congressional office from a foreign leader.
	Why did you feel the need to speak out now?
	Well, it's important because there are people who are saying about President Trump's claim, oh, it could never happen.
	Well, frankly, it happened to me.
	And I had proof because The Washington Times actually let me listen into a tape that was made of a conversation in my congressional office.
	It was a conversation between myself and a foreign leader.
	The conversation was approved and cleared by House attorneys who said, yes, you can do that.
	That's your constitutional right.
	But someone had intercepted it.
	And I learned about it two years after I left office.
	Members of Congress ought to be aware that my experience was that my phone wasn't safe in a congressional office.
	Now, if they can do that to a member of Congress, they can certainly do it to a presidential candidate, and they can do it to private citizens as well.
	Hello, America.
	It is a really intriguing story.
	Did he just throw in there, hello America?
	What was that for?
	Yes, he did.
	That was funny.
	Private citizens as well.
	Hello America.
	Hello America.
	Really intriguing story.
	If people want to read the full account of how this unfolded for you, it's on foxnews.com on the opinion side.
	They can read the piece that you wrote there, but one thing I thought was interesting is you already had some Freedom of Information Act requests, FOIA requests in.
	When you found out about this and you were hopeful that maybe you would get a response to those documents, I think you filed back in 2012, that would shed some light on what actually happened, who recorded this call, how it got to the Washington Times.
	Here you are five years later, though, no answers on those FOIA requests.
	Are you confident that this administration will get to the bottom of whether the president's assertion is right or not?
	Well, first of all, the FOIA request has stacked this high, Shannon, and I still have many of the requests from intel agencies that have not been responded to.
	This by then a member of Congress, now a former member.
	Yes, I think this administration may be a little bit more sensitive to these questions about the potential for intelligence To be misused and for violations of the Constitution, the Fourth Amendment should provide all Americans with a right to privacy unless there's some criminal activity that is suspected.
	Then you go through the court.
	So here we are.
	It's a brave new world in America.
	He's doing some good stuff, our boy Kassinich.
	He's always done good stuff.
	Yeah, I agree.
	He always has.
	So, anyway, so they, you know, you hear on Joy Reid, oh, he's bullcrap, and then we have Kucinich come out, who's actually had an experience with it, yeah.
	I thought it was quite interesting.
	We'll skip to Joy Reid on WikiLeaks.
	Well, can I interject something, then, regarding the machine?
	You, or we were discussing the other day why ABC has really gone all anti-Trump, and I have a theory with an assist from Steck, and it's actually, it's so obvious that ABC wants Trump out.
	They want him out.
	And there's a very good reason for them.
	ABC owned by Disney.
	Guess what happens in 2018?
	Let me think.
	The Mickey Mouse character comes up for renewal?
	Nailed it.
	Yep.
	In 2018, the earliest or so, Steamboat Willie, all that stuff, comes up for renewal once again, or expiration, I should say.
	It's been expired, by the way, forever, but they've been creating special laws to accommodate.
	Yes, they keep getting Congress to create special laws to bring it back.
	And I have a feeling that they're very worried that they're going to lose it.
	And it's not just if they lose that one.
	I mean, then it just goes downhill from there.
	Then it's just one after the other.
	Then you'll get Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, Bambi, Adventures of Ichabod and Mr.
	Toad, Cinderella.
	That'll be 2040.
	But, you know, still, Alice in Wonderland.
	I don't think they're too worried about Ichabod and Mr.
	Toad.
	You know, that is, I'm sure that's a billion dollar property.
	I don't know what you're talking about.
	I doubt it.
	Cinderella, and of course you get Sleeping Beauty.
	I mean, it's all going to happen.
	Well, it's not going to happen because it hasn't happened yet.
	Well, we'll see.
	And I'm very skeptical.
	I think they've done a really good job of maintaining this bull crap.
	Oh, they've done it great.
	They even killed Sonny Bono over it, didn't they?
	Well, it's one thought.
	Somebody thinks that.
	I always thought that's what happened.
	So, Joey Reed's got another show.
	This is where I think she has corn or somebody else.
	So, she's got another group.
	Essentially, it's her yakking with that big smile.
	How are you doing?
	Yeah.
	This is the Purging the Saboteurs.
	She starts off with a Hannity clip about Hannity telling that she uses clips like we do.
	So she's got Hannity after talking about it, and then she gets into condemning him and everybody in between and Trump, and they're all stooges of the Russians.
	Time for the Trump administration to begin to purge these saboteurs before it's too late.
	So, Jack, you have Sean Hannity telling him, purge the saboteurs.
	Then you have Steve Kinket on our air with Katie Turin saying, purge the saboteurs.
	And then Donald Trump's administration starts purging people they think are the saboteurs, I guess.
	Yeah, I'm more concerned about a Russian mole than I am about the deep state.
	We need to really look at what's going on here.
	You look at the connections between the Russians and Paul Manafort, the connections between the Russians and Mike Flynn, the connections between Sessions, the connections between Kushner.
	The list goes on and on and on.
	And our problem, of course, is we have no idea about the connections between the president himself and the Russians because he won't release his taxes.
	What?
	Oh man, what an idiot.
	Yeah, oh the taxes will show the Russian connection because I filled out all my Russian information on my tax form.
	What do they expect to have?
	A 1099 from the FSB? Is that what they're looking for?
	That would be funny.
	Is that what they're looking for?
	I guess so.
	I don't know what they're looking for.
	I got a couple of anti-Russia clips that are pretty good.
	Here's Chris Matthews on MSNBC, of course.
	Hardball.
	Now, he's convinced that Donald Trump's smile...
	Gives away the Russian connections.
	Just in the way he smiles.
	What?
	Yeah, just listen.
	The guy is off his rocker.
	Donald Trump brazenly refused to criticize the organization that worked with Russia in telling the 2016 election in his favor.
	Even as WikiLeaks released a trove of new documents stolen from the CIA. That material, which was acquired...
	Hold on, stop the presses.
	I have to just stop and tell people something here.
	Having been a student at Berkeley and all the rest of it.
	The left, including guys like this guy and everybody else, Rachel and everyone else, all these MSNBCers, all my life have been pro-Russia and anti-CIA. Yes.
	All my life.
	Oh, the Russians.
	Oh, they're misunderstood.
	Oh, you know, Stalin's even a good guy.
	All this has been going on.
	What changed?
	Somehow the polarization of the universe flipped.
	I've said this on the show before, I think it's when the Russians themselves eschewed the old communist ideals.
	The commie ideals, exactly.
	The commie ideals and went with a kind of a quasi-capitalist combo thing that they're doing now, similar to the Chinese but not quite as efficient.
	I think that's what it is, but...
	This is just beyond me.
	I'm sorry I had to interrupt.
	No, I agree.
	Let's start it over.
	But you've certainly seen this much longer than I have.
	And I agree, though.
	It was like, yeah, these guys got the right idea.
	All the lefties were all into it.
	Socialism.
	It was all there.
	No, it's not going to happen.
	Now they're the enemy, and smiling about it shows collusion.
	Donald Trump brazenly refused to criticize the organization that worked with Russia until in the 2016 election in his favor, even as WikiLeaks released a trove of new documents stolen from the CIA. That material, which was acquired in a major security breach of this country's top spy agency, threatens to reveal the CIA's digital hacking operation around the world, which could compromise the CIA's ability to get information.
	But when asked to comment today, President Trump smiled and said nothing.
	It seems to me we've got a weird sort of, like in basketball, as we were kids, three on that side, three on the other.
	Donald Trump is siding up on the side of the Russians, it seems, again and again.
	And now, with this big document dump and the information flowing out about the CIA and its operations, its ability to hack into people's systems, he's taking the weird smile, refusing to criticize.
	What's the smile mean?
	Who's he, the Mona Lisa?
	What kind of weird smile?
	I mean, it's so cute.
	He likes to pretend he has information that people don't have, but you know what?
	The intelligence community has probably more information than he does.
	So unless he can show the information...
	But you know what?
	The intelligence community has probably more information than he does.
	More information than he does, so unless he can show the information that he's basing this on, I'm not sure what that smile is about.
	I wonder about Trump's patriotic instincts, don't you?
	Here he was today, given a chance to say something about a foreign group trying to undercut the U.S. government in the world, and he gives us the smile with Cheshire Cags.
	What do we make of that smile?
	Is he the Mona Lisa enjoying a little secret of hers?
	Does he think it makes him cool to be enjoying the way the group that helped get him elected is now helping itself to undermine our government's intelligence capability?
	Geez.
	I know.
	I just kind of liked how he was going off.
	Now, we have on NPR a couple of reports.
	NPR, always nice to hear the NPR sound.
	The NPR sound.
	Top Democrat Mark Warner provides us here with an update on the Russia-Trump investigation and how far reaching these damn Ruskies are.
	Let's say that there's no evidence found of collusion between Americans and Russians, no Russian money entering the campaign, and no Russian blackmail against any candidate.
	Is the fact that Russia tries to influence US policy, not in those criminal ways, but more generally, if it tries to influence policy however it can, is that some kind of new danger or even a danger that's unique to Russia?
	It is absolutely a new danger.
	I mean, the Russians have almost created a new theory of war that says...
	Beyond fighting in the land, air, and sea, cyber is a whole new domain, and they are experts at misinformation, disinformation.
	They've done this for a long time in Eastern European elections, sometimes much more obviously with old-fashioned payola and bribes.
	They're doing it right now in the French presidential elections where they've actually put financial resources behind the Marie Le Pen, the far-right candidate's campaign.
	So I think Americans, one of the things that disappointed me, I know there was lots going on, that there wasn't more kind of general outrage with the Russian manipulation in our election, regardless of whether there was any contact between candidates.
	And the Russians are now influencing the French election.
	I knew that was going to happen.
	Before we go to the break that you're going to lead up to, I might as well throw this one in.
	It's gotten so bad About, you know, finding anything you can do to kind of blame the Russians because of Trump connecting the two and whatever.
	I got the biggest kick out of this story.
	This is the clip.
	This will be the Trump.
	It's called the, you know, we have the Trump boom for the stock market for the travel industry.
	It's called the Trump slump.
	Although, although it hasn't really resulted in anything except they're basing all this on Google searches.
	I'll go ahead.
	As airport protests erupted in January in response to President Trump's first travel ban, the Global Business Travelers Association reported $185 million in lost bookings to the U.S. Emirates Airlines said the pace of its bookings to the U.S. fell 35 percent, and New York City just lowered its 2017 travel forecast by 300,000 international visitors, the first drop since 2008's recession.
	We saw a really big dip and we've not fully recovered.
	Patrick Suri from the travel site Hopper says airfare searches to the United States dropped in 102 of 122 countries since Mr.
	Trump's inauguration.
	China is off nearly 46 percent, Saudi Arabia down 35, Ireland dropped 32, and Mexico is down 23 percent.
	A notable exception, travel searches from Russia jumped 54 percent.
	Travel searches versus actual travel, that's not really a very good metric.
	Jumped.
	It jumped 50%.
	So we're going to have a bunch of Ruskies over here.
	Oh, nice.
	That was incredible.
	Uh, Pelosi.
	Fixing the elections.
	They're going to come over here to rig the elections.
	Of course.
	That's what they do.
	This is great.
	Those guys are horrible.
	I'm telling you.
	Pelosi answers the question.
	Hey, Clapper said there was no collusion.
	There was no evidence.
	What is that about?
	What are you going to do?
	On Sunday's Meet the Press, President Obama's Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, said that for the agencies he oversaw, CIA, FBI, and NSA, to his knowledge, there was no evidence of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians.
	Do you agree with Clapper?
	Well, it's not.
	He's talking about to his nod.
	We haven't had the investigation.
	Wait, what did she say?
	She said.
	He's telling that too.
	Let me just see.
	Let me see what she says there.
	Well, it's not.
	He's talking about to his nod.
	We haven't had.
	She didn't finish the sentence.
	He's telling that to his and then she didn't finish the sentence.
	I don't know what she was going to say.
	Well, she didn't say it.
	Well, it's not.
	He's talking about truth.
	We haven't had the investigation that we need to have.
	And that's what we're saying is follow the facts.
	Follow the facts.
	Follow the facts.
	So I also heard him say that he didn't think there was any reason to believe that President Obama was tapping Donald Trump.
	Did she say Joe Bama?
	I don't.
	Just listen to the clip.
	I'm sorry.
	...was tapping...
	Well, now I've got to listen to it if she said Joe Bama or not.
	...heard him say that he didn't think there was any reason to believe that the president, President Obama, was tapping Donald Trump.
	Joe Bama?
	He was tapping Donald Trump.
	Oops.
	But what we're saying is follow the facts.
	We think there's plenty of evidence that shows for sure that the Russians were disruptive of our election.
	Follow the facts.
	Follow the facts.
	You know, I'm listening more.
	I think they're drugging her or something.
	Something's up with this.
	It's the Botox.
	It's leaking.
	And the one they're trying to get in, I'm starting to know.
	You won't watch enough of this stuff, especially on these stupid news networks.
	And the same names keep cropping up.
	I mean, McCain, Lindsey Graham, and then once in a while, Peter King.
	But on the Democrat side, they have her a lot, but the guy they keep bringing in is this Adam Schiff from Southern California.
	He's ground zero of all this.
	Yeah, he is the guy they're going to push to take over something or other because...
	Pelosi's lost it.
	Yeah.
	She's an embarrassment to the party.
	Yes.
	Yes, she is.
	Alright, last one here.
	This...
	This is a nice RT report.
	Of course, RT has to respond to some of this somehow.
	And this is mainly about, you know, this consistent accusation that Russia is just the biggest propagandist and that they, you know, of course, we don't do any of that.
	We don't have Voice of America or any of that.
	We don't have the Broadcast Board of Governors.
	And what's funny about it, we are still the world leaders.
	We do the best.
	And they make it sound as though Russia can even compete with us.
	Are you nuts?
	We put it in our popular culture.
	We put it right into the shows.
	Just as an aside, we had a clip, I think, from someone.
	This was about a year or two ago.
	A guy who had penetrated the FSB and he was over in the U.S. as a mole.
	And he stayed here.
	He quit the Russians and nobody cared.
	He says he never saw anything in such disarray.
	They're unorganized.
	They do a pretty mediocre job once in a while.
	I mean, remember the redhead, the hot Russian spy?
	Oh, yes.
	Yeah, of course.
	This whole thing.
	It's just nonsense.
	Of course.
	Well, anyway, Russia is the worst, and of course they respond appropriately, and with a little bit from Guyane.
	Hello, welcome.
	You're watching Arty International.
	Now, there is a Russian propaganda virus, according to an advisor speaking to the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
	Russia and this channel, Arty, has been accused of a misinformation campaign that, quote, attempts to undermine and discredit Western democratic institutions.
	like a virus.
	A virus.
	To stop this virus, we should treat it like one.
	Ooh.
	So curing those who may have been exposed, defending people, re-educating citizens to protect themselves and others, and disarming it.
	Disarming.
	Or finding a vaccine.
	U.S. lawmakers and the expert witnesses that they invited to testify before Congress claimed that Russian propaganda, in which they include this Channel RT, is an affront to democracy.
	Apparently, in Mr.
	Duran's view, which many lawmakers at that hearing seem to share, everybody who does not think like them needs to be cured.
	They said people need to be protected from Russian disinformation.
	How do you do that?
	Maybe for starters, listening to the distinguished panelists.
	WikiLeaks is the most well-known platform for Russian intelligence to distribute their stolen material.
	The coordination of the two tactics was exposed several times during the U.S. presidential campaign when RT or Sputnik ran a story based on hacked material hours before the material was posted on WikiLeaks.
	Even Russian spies make mistakes.
	Except Mr.
	Baer's statement itself was disinformation.
	WikiLeaks published the material on their website, which RT caught very quickly and tweeted about it.
	And then came the WikiLeaks tweet.
	The fact is that the material itself was published on the WikiLeaks website before RT tweeted about it.
	This was easy to verify.
	So the statement that former U.S. official Daniel Baer made there was false.
	And at the hearing, it went unchallenged.
	By the way, lawmakers and panelists at the hearing kept saying Russian disinformation without giving specific examples.
	The other thing that sounded like disinformation was several members of Congress widely speculating about the infamous anti-Trump dossier, which no official body has verified.
	And that so-called dossier is full of incendiary, completely unsubstantiated accusations.
	So my takeaway from the hearing was that the lawmakers and the panelists cried disinformation while spreading disinformation themselves.
	KGB, SST, KGB, SST, one, two, three, you and me.
	Woo!
	Woo!
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C., where the C stands for commies used to be loved by the left, Dvorak.
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning, all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air.
	Subs in the water.
	All the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to everybody in the chat room, noagendastream.com.
	Good to see you all here in the numbers we like to see.
	And a special in the morning to the one and only Nick the Rat.
	Nick back with the artwork for episode 9010, Coin of the Realm.
	And he had a...
	Actually, it was a nice reference to the heat of the meat, which was the no agenda in the, you know, the flaming meat underneath it with a 33 degree thermometer sticking in it.
	Very nice.
	Yeah.
	Very nice piece by you.
	Dimensional is the way I always like to describe stuff.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can upload that.
	We can show your wares, everybody, where we can pick from it right after the show and use it for newsletters and other things.
	And also, of course, the guys at the No Agenda shop use it for some of their schwag.
	So thank you, Nick.
	And thank you all of our artists.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com.
	I'd like to thank a few people for this executive producing and associate executive producing show 9-11.
	Tyler Oglesby came in with the instant knight amount of 1033.33.
	He's somewhere in Texas.
	Bonus time has come around.
	And here's your cut.
	Please de-douche me and knight me as Sir Tyler Oglesby, paladin of the Permian.
	I look forward to that.
	You've been de-douched.
	Let me practice.
	Sir Tyler Oglesby, paladin of the Permian.
	Okay, I got it.
	Simon Foden, somewhere in the USA, 911.11, and he has sent a note in by email, which I have here somewhere.
	Greetings, John and Adam, from Plumas County in the someday state of Jefferson, which is Northern California combined with parts of Southern Oregon.
	And you go drive through there, they have big signs saying, Welcome to Jefferson.
	Thank you for your courage.
	I once worked for an Emeryville startup with a large poster of John hanging from the ceiling.
	I'm sorry to report they were not successful.
	And vaguely remember Adam's appearances on tech TV. I was never on tech TV. No, he was never on tech TV. He was on Cranky Geeks.
	Those were the days.
	But now technology is boring.
	And nothing has made it more boring than the digital empowerment industry.
	Thank you for shaving me a bunch of time watching the news.
	Never before has the media so richly deserved assassination.
	A while ago I donated 88.88.
	And then I got a thinking about a fiendish karmic properties of today's donation.
	So I beseech you to roll me a penny and elevate me to Sir Simon of Jefferson.
	All I now desire is to be de-douched and on with the show.
	Oh, okay.
	So I don't think he was actually on the list.
	Let me just put that in there.
	Where is it here?
	So he's going to be a knight and it'll be Sir Simon of Jefferson?
	I guess.
	Okay, good.
	You've been de-douched.
	Maybe take over the state.
	Sir Dwayne Melanson in Tigard, Oregon, 9-11.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	This is great news.
	This is big.
	ITM Jansett's official is supposed to be over the mark for Grand Duke of the Pacific Northwest.
	He's actually in abeyance because there's a complication involved, which he knows about, we discussed.
	But he is going to be Grand Duke of the Pacific Northwest today.
	Aha!
	I have a sort of...
	Yes.
	Nice.
	He has a sort of jingle he bought on Fiverr, which he'll email.
	He'll donate $333 for someone who comes up with a great jingle for me.
	He needs his intro.
	Yes, of course, of course.
	And for this show, he liked karma and any Sharpton resist we much.
	Well, of course.
	Resist we much.
	We must and we will much about that be committed.
	karma.
	You know, I should visit him because he's up in the wine country up there in Oregon.
	That's always a reason.
	Yeah, it's Pinot country.
	Matthew W, 33333.
	In the morning, John, now it's been too long since my last donation.
	I wanted to say thank you for the outstanding analysis of current events that can be found nowhere else.
	I'd also like to thank Kurt Kuhne for hitting me in the mouth a few years ago.
	Your show helped us get through long night shifts.
	Good use.
	I'd also like to offer the No Agenda supporters 67% off my new product on Amazon.
	I just launched the magnetic knife.
	This is, by the way, I looked at this thing.
	It looks pretty nice.
	It's a magnetic knife strip for holding kitchen knives.
	Please place this link in the show notes, and he's got a little link there.
	The coupon code is NOAGENDA, all one word, and can be applied at checkout.
	Reviews are helpful and joy.
	It's just a good look.
	You know the magnetic knife strips?
	Yeah, sure, sure.
	I'm actually putting this in the...
	It's made out of rosewood.
	It doesn't show the magnets.
	The magnets are built inside.
	I'm actually putting this into the PR segment of the show notes so people go check that out.
	Cool.
	Nice.
	What else does he need?
	Oh, he needs a cancer karma for his dad who is losing a battle to lung cancer.
	Man, I hate that.
	My mom had the same.
	It sucks balls.
	You've got karma.
	Sir Nick of Southside.
	I'm dropping stuff.
	2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
	I gotta talk about this.
	Yeah, sorry about that.
	Gentlemen, I need a dedouching.
	I'm putting off donating.
	I've been putting off donating for two months.
	The show is great and a very useful source for talking points.
	I'd like some karma for travel.
	Alex Jones cow.
	Putin's scream and two to the head.
	Okay, we're the de-douching.
	Let's see if we can do this.
	You've been de-douched.
	My God, for 25 years, they've been growing babies and cows!
	Putin!
	You've got karma.
	All right.
	That worked.
	It's a classic.
	Yes.
	Sir Mark...
	By the way, it's true.
	And they're called calves.
	Yes.
	Sir Mark Borghese, 222222, parts unknown.
	This donation completes my barony.
	I've been donating since 2009.
	So this has been eight years in the making.
	I would like to be the Baron of Las Vegas.
	It's a real time saver that keeps me sane.
	Can I get a...
	No Agenda show.
	It's a real time saver.
	It's a time saver.
	Yes, three hours of time saver.
	It's a time saver.
	Can I get a karma followed by in the morning in English, Spanish, Chinese, French, and whatever languages you bring good fortune to all No Agenda listeners worldwide?
	Yeah, I'm sure we can do that.
	And the title change ceremony coming up.
	We've got karma.
	In the morning.
	Bola manana.
	I'm all done.
	Boom.
	Boom.
	John Overall in Victoria, BC. 209-11.
	They had a meet-up.
	I don't know how it went.
	Coming to you from the great city of Victoria, BC, Canada.
	I have found a bit more cash and pretty sure it's due to the karma from the No Agenda show.
	Plus, there has been a lot of 33s and 111s lately.
	So I felt I should donate back.
	I'm just getting back from the Victoria meeting hosted by Sir Stevens, where I also met a dozen other No Agenda listeners, including the Baron of BC, Alan.
	Baron Alan.
	You should have been here, by the way.
	It was lots of fun.
	You know, Saturday is tough.
	I could have actually gone to that thing, I suppose.
	So many people from so many walks of life and professors who still talk about anything Who can still talk about things with respect and their ability to hear the other viewpoint even though it might not be what they agree with.
	Truly the No Agenda listener is helping set a standard back in the world of what tolerance is all about.
	Real tolerance.
	Thanks for everything you guys do to help keep this going and this donation to help ensure that you stay on the air.
	What you do is desperately needed.
	I think so too.
	John Overall and the WP Plugins A to Z Podcast.
	What is this?
	He says John Overall and the WordPress Plugins A to Z Podcast.
	Three-fifths on the way to knighthood now.
	Call out Marcus as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	My co-host who needs to donate, please give me karma and play 66, 69, 69.
	Why don't you read these jingles to me, John?
	Okay.
	We want...
	Head back to the jingle word.
	17 years, please.
	Okay.
	Okay, Mil, the one hot Milf.
	Yeah.
	The twit dude named Ben.
	Uh-huh.
	And this is all I've got on here.
	And six karma.
	Okay, let me try it.
	Let me see if I can do this.
	I think I have it all here.
	Oh, here it is.
	I'm sorry.
	It just wouldn't play.
	It wouldn't open.
	I gave me karma.
	Play six.
	I got it.
	I got it.
	Six nine!
	D9, dudes!
	That's what I like, though.
	You've got karma.
	I didn't actually interact directly with people in the IT arena.
	Somebody whose name was 21 hours last night.
	His first name may have been Ben.
	Alright.
	Dude named Ben.
	Dude named Ben.
	There you go.
	It's a little long.
	That's the one he wanted, yeah.
	Okay, Nathan Hodge in Laguna Niguel, California.
	$200 will be our last associate executive producer.
	It's my second installment toward world domination.
	My first was on show 901.
	This one comes on show 911.
	Wow, all Porsche numbers.
	Go figure, racing is in my blood.
	Also, no one seems to notice show 900 was on the 33rd day of the year.
	Well, it's a little late to tell us now, but okay.
	Could have boosted it.
	No, come, we'll give him a karma.
	Yeah, of course we'll give him a karma.
	You've got karma.
	So that will be the executive producers, associate executive, what?
	No, I said that's it.
	Yeah, associate executive producers and executive producers for show 9-11 with some big ones.
	So I want to thank everybody for helping us out here on this particular show.
	Very nice.
	Another correction of sorts and a proper credit.
	I incorrectly said that the original No Agenda Search producer had brought the site back up.
	His name is Donna.
	And incorrectly, I credited him, but really, search.nashownotes.com was taken from the GitHub repository.
	He forked it, made changes, fixes, upgraded, deployed the code, and boom, and this is Chris McClimick.
	And he said, hey, especially since in this section of the show you and John talk about crediting all the people who provide technical solutions and enhancements for the show, it'd be great if you could make this correction.
	I don't want to take any credit for any of Donna's excellent work, which of course the work was excellent, and it's just been forked and improved, and that's how open source projects work.
	Right.
	And I really appreciate that.
	And we actually, you solicited, you told them about the GitHub code, and so, yeah, fantastic.
	Good.
	That's what you do.
	Yes, I really appreciate it.
	So thank you for that, and thank you everybody who came in today for our 9-11 show with the big numbers.
	That's fantastic.
	Thank yous coming up in our second donation segment, people of $50 and over.
	And of course, these credits are real.
	You can use them.
	You can call yourself an executive producer or associate executive producer.
	It appears to work very well with your LinkedIn.
	People like to look at it.
	And another show coming up for you on Thursday.
	And on that Thursday, John, you'll have to give your...
	What is it?
	Don't we have basketball coming up?
	Basketball picks?
	No.
	Oh, you mean for the brackets?
	Yeah, brackets.
	You can't pick these things.
	Warren Buffett offers a million dollars to anyone who can pick all these things accurately because he knows no one's ever done it and no one ever can do it because there's always some screwball upset or some team doesn't perform well.
	The problem is with these sports, I think personally, I would push the thing back and do a double elimination with less teams.
	Because a double elimination tournament at least gives you a shot at...
	Now it's just single elimination, which means you lose one game, you're out of the tournament.
	Even though it could be some guy, it could be a fluke, it could be a lot of different reasons.
	Double elimination is the way all tournaments should be.
	I think it should be single payer.
	Dvorak.org slash NA Our invited thing to do today is go out there, propagate our formula to everybody you can.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out...
	We hit people in the mouth.
	Back turn false.
	Shut up, Slade.
	Shut up, slave.
	Damn it.
	Shut up.
	Hey, yes.
	Alrighty then.
	Let's see where we're at.
	Oh, you know, the congressional record.
	Someone sent me a copy.
	I should read that more often.
	They have written...
	We used to have a guy in Denver that was supposed to read it for us.
	Yeah, I did a lot of it.
	Just bailed.
	Because they have a lot of...
	And transcripts of conversations that aren't necessarily on C-SPAN or reported properly.
	Well, they also include...
	I like to put this in the record they will say at the event.
	And it could be something interesting.
	It goes into the congressional record, but they never say it on the floor.
	Well, this was...
	This was published on March 10th, so this is very recent.
	And this is about the IT crew that was hired by Debbie Wasserman Schultz and was in there apparently up to no good in the Democratic congressional systems.
	And we can put names to them.
	Oh, right.
	Yes, yes.
	Yeah, so there's quite an interesting little bit that was discussed here.
	So this is the Awan brothers.
	Imran Awan, Abid Awan, and Jamal Awan, all from Pakistan.
	And now suspected in collusion with their father to be Pakistani intelligence at best.
	And I put an actual PDF of the congressional record in the show notes, 911.noagendanotes.com.
	You can take a look at it for yourself.
	It's highlighted.
	These guys were making almost three times the normal salary of this position, which is always kind of a giveaway, and that's mentioned in the record here.
	They were over $160,000 plus, but also they serviced, I think it was, they serviced 30 Different offices of congressional Democrats, 20 of those offices also suffered burglaries, break-ins.
	That may have been part of a crime ring.
	Yeah, so talk about running...
	I'm reading verbatim here.
	Talk about running the Democratic House members' computer networks.
	Days before the U.S. Capitol Police told House members three Pakistani brothers who ran their computer networks may have stolen congressional data, their stepmother...
	called Fairfax County, Virginia police to say these guys were keeping her from her husband's deathbed.
	She's being kept hostage.
	A relative described her situation as being kept in captivity by the brothers for months while they schemed to take their father's life insurance.
	The brothers, as IT professionals, computer experts for Congress, also read House members' emails, had full access to their calendars, who they were meeting with, where they were meeting, and allegedly used wiretapping devices on their own stepmother and threatened to abduct loved ones in Pakistan if she didn't and allegedly used wiretapping devices on their own stepmother and threatened to abduct loved ones in Pakistan if she It was a big mess.
	This is a great story.
	I'm stunned.
	The New York Times, the WAPO, or one of the networks haven't picked this up.
	I mean, this is good stuff.
	This is the kind of thing that gets your ratings.
	I think so, too.
	And it's brothers.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	But it's stepping on Debbie Wasserman Schultz's reputation.
	We don't want to do that.
	It would be harmful.
	Yeah, we can't do that.
	That would be wrong.
	No, instead, why don't you go jump in a lake or go fly a kite?
	There you go.
	There's some antique phrases for you.
	Go jump in the lake.
	Yeah, it's a classic.
	If your friends told you to jump off a bridge, would you?
	Yeah, would you?
	Right, right, right, right.
	No, if they jumped off a bridge, would you jump off a bridge?
	Right.
	I think that's the way it goes.
	Well, that's terrible.
	And no one's really doing any reporting.
	Apparently not.
	You brought it up.
	I never heard this.
	I knew about the guys because we talked about them on this show before, and they did come up in the conversation early on on PBS, I think.
	Now, you remember the guy who was doing the Where's George, whatever his name is, the Clinton Foundation CEO? Right.
	He's doing these YouTube videos.
	So he's on this as well.
	He ties this into all kinds of things, including the attorney who was just fired by Trump.
	Farish or whatever his name is.
	Oh, that guy in New York.
	Right.
	They made a big stink.
	I mean, this is not an unusual situation.
	Well, the unusual thing is that they asked him to stay and then they asked him to go, from my understanding.
	I think it's poorly reported, but it's possible.
	But they asked them all to go, all the Obama appointees, which is what you do, because they serve at the pleasure of the president.
	At the pleasure of the president, yeah.
	And so this one guy decides, no, I'm staying.
	And so, okay, you're fired.
	Which is fine.
	But then the media, oh, they fired this guy.
	It's part of a purge.
	But there's an insinuation that it was discovered that somehow that guy is involved with the Awan brothers.
	I have not figured out the connection enough.
	Well, that would be a good one.
	Maybe some of the lawyers that can have access to certain documents might want to give us a hand.
	Could be.
	Could be.
	Well, the Awan brothers.
	Yeah.
	Or you could just say the Awan Brotherhood.
	That might sound even better.
	They are Muslim, and they're from Pakistan.
	Yeah, well, I don't think Muslims are supposed to be criminals.
	Some sort of a violation there.
	Yeah, something with that.
	All right.
	Let's go to Korea.
	Oh, good idea.
	Let's update the ouster of the president, the first female president, by all male judges, got rid of her.
	In South Korea, President Park Geun-hye was officially ousted today by the nation's highest court.
	Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Margaret Warner has that story.
	The constitutional court's verdict announced in Seoul was unanimous.
	Upholding the impeachment of South Korea's President Park, it removed her from office, a stunning fall from power.
	Streets overflowed with demonstrators, many celebrating the ouster of the country's first female leader.
	The people gave her the power to serve, but she filled her own pocket, disrupted social order, and undermined democracy.
	Others protested the verdict, saying Park's removal leaves South Korea at risk.
	We should be thankful to President Park for protecting our nation.
	Young people these days don't know that.
	It's only been 67 years since the Korean War erupted.
	We can soon see another similar tragedy happen.
	Two people died during today's protests and at least 30 were hurt.
	All of this follows Park's suspension from office in December.
	Now she may face criminal charges of conspiring to let childhood friend Chae Soon-Shiel meddle in state affairs and extort money from businesses, including Samsung, whose own chief is now on trial for bribery.
	I read somewhere it was an iffy report.
	The report goes on and on.
	By the way, it's annoying.
	I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but the translators all call her PARK, P-A-R-K, which is what it is.
	I don't know why she keeps saying PAC. I don't know.
	POC. I think POC. POC. POC. I heard, unconfirmed, that B-52 bombers were sent to the region.
	I haven't heard that.
	Yeah.
	Well, it could be a mess.
	But we have a...
	Right now, there's already a bunch of...
	This is what dawned on me.
	With the psyche of how the media has portrayed what's going on in the United States being total disarray, and of course if you look at any news report in the EU, which I can read many of them, it's just parroting everything and say, oh, it's a mess, somebody's crazy, they'll probably get arrested, thrown out, impeached.
	To me it seems like everyone's taking advantage of the situation.
	Erdogan's taking advantage of it.
	North Korea taking advantage of it.
	Even the Chinese.
	Everyone's...
	The European Army!
	Come on!
	You know, I think it's...
	I think people are making moves just based...
	Thanks to the U.S. media, by the way.
	Yes, yes.
	That's the feeling I have.
	Our media is obviously working for the machine.
	It is the machine.
	It's part of it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's the spokeshole of the machine.
	So when you watch ABC, NBC, CBS, you're watching a group of people putting us at risk.
	Yeah, I feel that way often, yes.
	It's misreporting, poor reporting, lies.
	And fake news, which is not even really part of the problem to me.
	Well, fake news.
	It's just a slanted aspect of it.
	I mean, CBS, I mean, it just starts with anti-Trump stuff.
	It ends with anti-Trump stuff.
	Once in a while, there's a feel-good story.
	Actually, at the very end, there's a feel-good story at some point, so Scott Pelley can actually smile and kind of laugh.
	And they do it at the end of every day.
	Actually, all the networks...
	I've decided to do a very...
	CBS does it.
	ABC does it.
	A feel-good story at the end.
	And it's got kind of a punchline to it.
	And then they cut back to the anchor.
	All of them do this.
	And the guy's got a big smile on his face.
	He's kind of...
	Well, that'll be it for today.
	This will close the news for today.
	And they kind of laugh in his voice as he closes the news.
	I just find it annoying.
	It is.
	That's great.
	That's so funny.
	Yes, indeed.
	Let me see.
	Well, this just has to be played because she always just gives me so much joy.
	This would have to be Maxine Waters.
	There's got to be a clip once a show for Maxine Waters.
	We need a jingle for her.
	A little songlet is what I'd like, though.
	You know, a little songly.
	A very short, short songly.
	A song that would kind of show, you know, how much we really appreciate her being in our life.
	You think that Donald Trump should be impeached over Russia and anything else, any other discussion distracts us from that investigation.
	You still hold true to that?
	Yes, we're going to understand the role that this administration has played during the campaign with Russia.
	And when we see that, he certainly will be eligible for impeachment.
	Do you believe anything about that dossier?
	Oh, I think it should be taken a look at.
	We already know that the part about the coverage that they have on him with sex actions is supposed to be true.
	They've said that that's absolutely true.
	How are we all going to find out what is true and what isn't true?
	I mean, does it help that you think so?
	Because unless you have information that we don't have, that's an allegation.
	Yeah, but you understand.
	That I am saying the investigations must be done.
	I don't think you can do the impeachment just because I think or others think, but I think that if we do the investigations, that we will find the connections, and I do think that impeachment will be necessary.
	Yeah, yes, that's right.
	That's right.
	She says the sex tape, the sex actions is real from the dossier.
	Uh-huh.
	There was a question, I think it was Grassley sent a note to the CIA, maybe it was to a number of intelligence agencies, but specifically asking why CIA paid GCHQ for this report from this guy who now confirmed, at least in this document, in this letter sent from Grassley, That he was doing counterintelligence research for the Democrats on Trump.
	What is the term looking for?
	COINTELPRO? No, no, no, no, no.
	For the election.
	He was digging up dirt for the Democrats, which we already uncovered.
	But he started, I think the original contract was Jeb Bush.
	That's not what the letter says, though.
	The letter says he was doing it for the Democrats.
	And why CIA paid money for that report...
	Oh, that's a good point.
	Yeah, that would call for somebody to be called on the carpet.
	Someone, yeah.
	There's another old phrase.
	Call on the carpet.
	Where does that come from?
	Do people have to lay down on the carpet?
	Gravel?
	Maybe.
	You know, the kowtow?
	Yeah, that's a good one.
	Hold on the carpet.
	Okay.
	Let's go to the funny story of the day.
	Yeah.
	About the Cannibal News Network?
	Yeah, I had this clip a couple of shows ago.
	I'm like, eh, it didn't fit.
	So I'm glad you did it.
	I'm interested to hear your take on it.
	I have this.
	I'm going to...
	This is divided up into three parts, including a rant by Lionel.
	Okay.
	But you can leave that part off if you don't like it.
	But this is the Cannibal News Network.
	This is covered by RT. This is about one of the...
	I guess it was a package done.
	It was more than a package.
	It was a whole...
	It was a half-hour special, I think.
	Yeah, it was a special about Hindu cannibals.
	On CNN. On CNN. And this guy, one of their top guys, goes over there and he eats brain and does a bunch of other stupid stuff.
	Now, a travel show on CNN has caused global shockwaves.
	After presenter and religious scholar Reza Aslan ate part of a human brain on camera.
	Aslan was in India meeting members of a Hindu sect called the Aghori.
	After sampling the brain he described it as burnt to a crisp and tasting like charcoal.
	The show called Believer triggered a storm online with reactions ranging from dark humour to outrage.
	Some branded CNN the cannibal news network and others rejected to the way Reza Aslan portrayed religion.
	So now the next clip, which is part two, is just their reading of the annoyed tweets.
	So you're going to hear a bunch of tweet reads here.
	Absolutely appalling.
	Maybe everyone should try cannibalism.
	Start a new delicacy for the rich.
	Is it just me, or does anybody else have a problem with eating what was most likely a murdered person?
	Was it a woman?
	A child?
	Pure evil.
	You're pretty gross, even if this is just a harebrained publicity stunt.
	I'd give you a piece of my mind, but for the risk you'd probably just eat it.
	In a post on Facebook, Reza Aslam responded to concerns that he was misrepresenting Hinduism, but surprisingly he had nothing to say about the cannibalism.
	We asked media analyst Lionel for his opinion.
	Oh boy, Lionel.
	You want to hear this?
	This is Lionel.
	It's...
	It's probably a B-plus for him because he's done better, but it's not at all.
	And by the way, just as I accurately predicted zombies would be the trend, cannibals is the new trend.
	There's no doubt that cannibals is the new zombie.
	Okay.
	It makes sense, and the brain-eating actually fits right into it as the transition.
	Yes, exactly.
	And we need that for our depression era.
	Yeah, yeah, eat your babies.
	Are we living in an asylum and you and I are perhaps maybe where we've been so attuned and so conditioned by insanity that maybe this isn't insane anymore?
	When they had to approve this with the news director, did they say, what are you going to do?
	Well, in the first segment, in the A Block, we're going to consume human brain.
	By the way, I'm going to drink blood from a skull and then have the ashes of dead and incinerated humans rubbed on me.
	Okay, sounds good to me.
	I mean, somebody signed off on this.
	And in a weird way...
	Because I tend to be a little conspiratorial.
	I'm sorry, it's my nature.
	But something tells me that somebody in some higher echelon of CNN is thankful that somebody's noticing CNN. And not for the usual reasons.
	Granted, it's universal disgust.
	And revulsion.
	And I will say this again.
	This man, this intrepid reporter, will forever be known as risking his life and limb, having human egesta hurled at him, drinking from skulls.
	And what do we do?
	We castigate him.
	The only man ever to produce a story.
	From CNN, that's worth watching.
	That's mildly interesting.
	Sanjay Gupta, eat your heart out, or your brain out, in this particular case.
	Yeah, he's done better, but it's okay.
	That's another old phrase, eat your heart out.
	And where does that come from?
	I don't know.
	That's a good one to try to get to the bottom of.
	I had a long discussion with Tina on Saturday based on some more work about the American Health Care Act, which of course we only have the first portion that's in.
	And this first portion aims squarely at doing something that Republicans have wanted to do for maybe 15 years at least.
	Defund Planned Parenthood.
	That's all they want to do.
	And I just want to talk about it briefly.
	First of all, when they say defunding Planned Parenthood, the only thing that's being defunded is money that's being sent to the states.
	The states are the ones that actually fund Planned Parenthood through Medicaid.
	It's not like a big cash check, like $500 million.
	Oh, here you go, Planned Parenthood.
	No, that's not how it works.
	And in fact, most of that is through Medicaid reimbursements.
	And what the American Health Care Act says, paraphrasing, is it's okay, we're happy to use this half a billion dollars to fund any health clinic for women's services, but we don't want an abortion in there.
	And the word that's being used continuously is fungible...
	Yeah, fungible money.
	Money is fungible.
	Fungible.
	Yeah, so if you have a non-profit like Planned Parenthood and you receive these reimbursements or money, however it comes in, your job is to say, well, we don't spend that money on abortions because that is not legal in the United States.
	To reiterate, the medical procedure, abortion medical procedure, is legal in the United States.
	Not legal is to use federal funds for it.
	State funds can be used for it, by the way, depending on what the state wants.
	So that's the number one portion.
	And if you want to...
	I mean, when you have money in the bank account, moving it around is very simple.
	You know, to have it cover or not cover, or make it look like it's not covering the abortion procedure.
	So what they've said is, all we want is take that piece out, and we'll continue to fund you.
	And according to Planned Parenthood themselves...
	They say the actual procedures that are abortion are only 3-5% of everything they do.
	It seems, I don't know, that may or may not be true.
	It doesn't really matter.
	I see this as a, and you can finish, but I see this as kind of like, who's got the bigger dick?
	Two people that are, you know, making a fuss.
	No, I'm going to stand firm.
	Well, I'm going to stand firm.
	No, I'm going to stand firm.
	And like you said, it's just a lot of wordage, a lot of...
	I don't know.
	It's just a lot of posturing, it seems to me, for political purposes.
	I think it's all political purposes, but really it's ideology.
	And before I play this clip, the argument is not really about...
	Abortions, about the procedure.
	It can't be, because it's legal.
	The argument is about who pays for it.
	And the assertion from Planned Parenthood is, we need to pay for it.
	And I think the other side of the ideological argument, take religion out of it, is what about responsibility?
	The same thing for providing, well, there's two things.
	There's anticonception, so condoms, diaphragm, multiple ways.
	Otherwise known as birth control.
	Well, I think it all fits under birth control, but under birth control, to me, falls the abortion because you're controlling the birth.
	It's not supposed to come out.
	Now, I really thought about this a lot because, of course, what is being said is women who are poor cannot afford any of these services for family planning.
	And the part I don't like at all is it's really only about who's going to pay for it.
	So you get pregnant and you want to remove this pregnancy.
	The thinking is, the government needs to pay for that.
	The second part of the argument is what's being classified as access.
	And that's another misnomer.
	And women will say, I don't want the government cutting off my access to these services.
	And I just want to explain what that means.
	The access, it's really completely, it's a red herring.
	In Texas, it's a great example for safety reasons, and no woman I've spoken to disagrees with this.
	If you want to have an abortion clinic, you can, but you have to have standing with a hospital, you have to have rights to go into the hospital should something go wrong, and it has to be within, I think, a 30-minute drive from the clinic.
	Everyone kind of agrees that's a good idea.
	The real problem is the hospitals refuse to give those rights.
	We've talked about it before.
	They refuse to give those rights, and no one is discussing that actual issue.
	That's where the access is being cut off, not because we want safer clinics, which everyone agrees with, but hospitals are saying, no, we're not going to give you access.
	We don't want the bad PR, and they should be held accountable for that.
	Going back to it, it's about who pays for it.
	And I personally feel people need to take some responsibility, and if things go wrong, well, then, you know, you probably have to pay for it, and you can make your own decisions what you're going to give up to pay for it.
	Listening to the ideological argument, one of the board members of Planned Parenthood, Jammu Green, went on Tucker Carlson to defend the idea that Planned Parenthood should not just have to do the 95% of the services, but they should do all of them.
	They do not want to give up the abortion.
	And Carlson asked correctly, if you have 95% of your very important services, which are claimed to be mammograms, all kinds of things.
	I don't think the mammograms actually don't actually do those.
	No, they don't do those.
	Cancer screenings, all the 95%.
	He's saying just for argument's sake, why not say, okay, we'll take that.
	And then that 5% of abortion services, you can raise that privately.
	I'll do it.
	I'll put money into that.
	Well, they already get a lot of money privately anyway.
	Oh, yeah.
	And I will mention that the $500 million is only about 40% of all of the money that they raise.
	Yeah, they get a ton of money.
	So they could spin it off.
	There's all kinds of ways to do that.
	But the ideals don't allow for that, and it always evolves back into men are assholes.
	It is the law that taxpayer dollars do not fund abortion.
	Now, it's the law for a reason, because we don't as a country consider abortion just like any other medical procedure.
	I'm not contesting its legality.
	I'm aware of what Roe v.
	Wade says.
	I'm merely asking you the same question for the third time, which is, if Planned Parenthood services are so vital, it's non-abortion-related services, why wouldn't What is the attachment to abortion?
	Why doesn't Planned Parenthood just say, we do so many great things, we'll let other people provide the abortions, and if you're interested in supporting that, you can donate money to those groups.
	Why will they not let go?
	Tucker, seriously.
	Let's look at, because of Planned Parenthood, and the services they provide, and the education that they provide in communities, and even in schools, unintended penalties are...
	You're not going to answer my question, are you?
	Are down.
	Are down.
	Why is it, answer this question, Tucker, why is it that you are so against big government on every issue except for when it comes to my uterus and my vagina?
	Can you imagine if the government was saying, let's legislate your penis?
	That is not ever going to be allowed by you or any of your male counterparts.
	Can I just stop here for a second?
	So somehow...
	How she got into Congress being in her uterus and her vagina, it just doesn't...
	It's not applicable to the situation.
	And to say, what if Congress regulated your penis?
	Well, let me tell you, my penis is regulated.
	I can't hang it out in public.
	You have a point.
	There's tons of things you can't do with your penis.
	You can't rub it up against someone or bump into somebody accidentally.
	There's a lot of things you can't do with a penis.
	It's because of the government.
	It's just illegal.
	My penis is legislated.
	Carlson didn't catch that.
	No.
	The men are kind of flat-footed when they're thrown out.
	But I'm a little tired of the, you men, you'll never do, you men are regulating.
	No, we're not.
	There's no evidence of it.
	It's about who wants to pay for it.
	That's all.
	And you want the money from the government to do it.
	Just be fair and honest.
	And it is time that we get past this issue.
	These talking points are decades old and not very bright.
	Can we get back to the issue of Planned Parenthood funding?
	And if you could just slow down the germide a bit?
	I'm going to give up after this.
	A fourth time.
	You're saying the Planned Parenthood does all these great things.
	The federal government is saying we'll continue to fund those great things.
	But we're really worried about the abortion part because almost half the country thinks it's murder.
	It's not about genitalia.
	It's about a distinct human being.
	That's the view of a lot of Americans.
	And guess what?
	Abortion is also a critical, legal, medical procedure.
	Is he supposed to stop the show and guess?
	I would have.
	All right, I'm ready.
	I'm ready for it.
	Ask Adam.
	Here we go.
	And guess what?
	Abortion is also a critical, legal, medical procedure.
	Really?
	So, let's talk about the domino effect.
	Wait.
	You take abortions away.
	You're not going to answer any of these questions.
	Let's talk about the domino effect.
	Then what?
	Because life is actually more complex than you want to talk about in this situation.
	Their tax dollars are not paying for abortions.
	You know what their tax dollars are paying for?
	They're paying for low-income women to be able to go into a health center in a community that has no other health center available to them within hundreds of miles so that they can get A breast cancer screening.
	Oh really?
	A mammogram?
	How many mammograms should they get?
	They can get tested.
	And this is not about women, this is men.
	How many?
	Are they giving a lot of mammograms at Planned Parenthood?
	How many do you think last year they gave?
	I actually, I don't have that exact number, Tucker.
	I don't think they did any, actually.
	I don't think they did any mammograms, did they?
	Tucker, what did they?
	It's a question for you on the board of it, not me.
	Let's be honest with your audience.
	Do you not have the answer, Jimu?
	I'm trying to get the answer from you.
	So here's the sick thing about it, because this is how the discussion goes.
	That poor women...
	That it's a perpetuating cycle.
	That poor women get into this cycle of just getting pregnant and then it messes up everything.
	Although you do get money per child, etc.
	I still believe...
	And really, and just in all the evidence that laid out before me, that the ultimate goal of Planned Parenthood is to make sure that, and again, look at what's happening.
	We have automated trucks coming along that'll be millions of truck drivers out of business.
	We have robotics that's going to put a lot of people out of business.
	You think that the McDonald's is going to be for people anymore?
	No, I'm sure that'll be all automated.
	So we're going to have a lot of people who just don't fit in the workplace anymore.
	And in my mind, we still have the elites.
	And I will put Ms.
	Richardson at the top of the elites list.
	Was that Richardson there?
	No, that wasn't her, no.
	Oh, okay.
	She's the CEO. I will put her up there with the elites.
	They still want to protect themselves by killing off the poor baby, the babies of poor people.
	They just don't want the population to expand in that area.
	It still feels like a eugenics program to me.
	Yeah, well, a lot of people feel the same exact way you do.
	Yeah.
	So again, just so you know, this is not about men hating women, not about access.
	It's about who's going to pay for it.
	That's all.
	And it's your state who actually determines that ultimately not the federal government.
	And under Title 10 is where that can't be used.
	But all the Medicare stuff, all of that is totally legal.
	So that's a state's issue right there.
	It's very, very tiring to hear this constant my vagina, your penis argument.
	I think it's Medicaid you were referring to, not Medicare.
	Medicaid, I'm sorry.
	Yes, Medicaid.
	You're right.
	A common mistake.
	Yes.
	All right, well, I'm glad you made that point.
	Adam at Curry.com, if anybody has anything to say.
	And I love hearing about it.
	He wants to get into a debate.
	Well, I'm very interested.
	Well, I thought he's, you know, I'm more that we play Tucker.
	People who...
	Who stand up to him in a funny kind of a way that is very rigid.
	Because he tries to entrap the guests.
	I think they're going to get more of this sort of thing.
	It's going to ruin the show.
	I think it's limited, too.
	I agree.
	I don't think he can maintain this style of interviewing.
	No.
	And it's going to end up with just a bunch of...
	That wasn't very good.
	It's going to be duds.
	I agree.
	It's going to wind up being duds.
	Before I forget...
	I need to congratulate Ancilla, the pirate party in the Netherlands.
	Looks like she's going to get one seat and it would be her.
	No, she's going to get in Parliament.
	Yeah, so we'll have boots on the ground.
	She'll never talk to us again.
	They get in.
	They move up the ladder.
	Before you know it.
	We're the little people.
	Those bozos.
	I'm sorry.
	I don't do podcasts anymore.
	Oops.
	Whoa.
	What happened?
	That clip sucked.
	I didn't do anything.
	It was just the gods of podcasting.
	I'm sorry.
	I don't know what happened there.
	You didn't even play that that much.
	Let's go with a couple of Assange things.
	Yes.
	Good idea.
	Let's play.
	Assange gave a press conference.
	Yes.
	And there's a couple of things I pulled from it.
	Try this one.
	I think this is a part of it.
	I'm not sure.
	Well, I do have the Brian Ross question, which I thought was worth playing.
	Oh, okay.
	Now I know where I am.
	I decided to clip Assange and try to do something about him.
	And what I mean by do something about him, he stinks.
	Oh, he's a horrible speaker.
	Horrible public speaker.
	He rarely play his clips for a good reason.
	And here's a good reason.
	In fact, I didn't clip him for that very reason.
	I don't blame you.
	This is Assange.
	This is a little bit that he does on his press conference.
	This is the regular version.
	This is Assange regular, and you get an impression here.
	...kind of thing together.
	There has been a number of attacks on our lawyers and on even this...
	The various forms of streaming hardware that we use to create these press conferences.
	Our secure systems are all fine, but the streaming system is insecure because it's for the public.
	And it went down.
	And we have some workarounds.
	He has his ability.
	Yeah, it's so boring.
	And not only that, but you can't really clip his stuff.
	So you can't take the pauses out because they're all through.
	And then it sounds terrible.
	So I decided, well, let's see.
	Maybe I can do a tempo switch on him.
	I can run him through the processing.
	I can move the tempo up, which is not speeding him up.
	It doesn't change his voice.
	It just makes him talk faster.
	And I cranked it way up to 80%, which is outrageous.
	That is quite a bit, yeah.
	And here's what it sounds like.
	You know what?
	It's just as interesting.
	It's terrible.
	So that doesn't work.
	Now, I don't know what you can do, so I just gave up.
	I mean, I was playing with some other mechanisms that might help, but it can't be done.
	So we're going to have to accept the fact that we're never going to have many clips from him.
	I pulled one clip Brian Ross wrote in a question that kind of offended him, and I thought this would be at least worth listening to.
	Brian Ross from ABC. Mr.
	Assange, have you ever been paid by the Russian government or state-funded outlet RT? The answer is no.
	But quite interesting to see ABC taking that line.
	This is the largest publication of Central Intelligence Agency documents.
	Number one, enormous journalistic scoop about all sorts of things that affect journalists and almost every individual within the United States and in many other countries.
	About the In some sense, the future of what it means to be a state.
	Where is the border between one state and another?
	Borders are created by sea and land, but borders are also created by one army meeting another army and then making a truce.
	That's where borders come from.
	On the internet, there's no borders.
	And if there's something like...
	I fell asleep.
	It sounds like he's talking to a kindergartner.
	It's horrible.
	Yeah.
	It's sad, really.
	Why not get that cute girl, Sarah?
	What's her name?
	His girlfriend.
	Who's in Berlin.
	Why not get her to do it?
	How about him going to a speech coach?
	Or something.
	Yeah.
	Here's my great idea for him.
	Okay.
	Take singing lessons, learn how to sing, and then go to a speech coach because then he'll have some understanding of pace and tempo because he's got none.
	He talks in a funny kind of way.
	Yeah.
	That's not as good as the clip earlier with you.
	Well, right now, all of these reports and the hacking and all, it seems a big distraction from some pretty big moves that are going on.
	CNN, I think it was Brolf and Barbara Starr, who tell us what our boots on the ground are doing.
	Mosul is one thing, but Raqqa is this capital and a truly symbolic place for ISIS. Yes, it's the de facto capital of the Islamic State.
	According to U.S. officials, Max, there are somewhere between 3,000 and 4,000 ISIS fighters in that city.
	However, we are hearing that many of the ISIS leaders are starting to flee as the pressure builds on that city.
	Now, the Marines who have been deployed in Syria, they are there in addition to rangers who are currently operating In the town of Munbij, which is about 85 kilometers northwest of Raqqa.
	The Marines are part of an artillery unit.
	They are bringing M777 howitzers, which have a range of about 20 miles or 32 kilometers.
	And the plan is that they will take part in the eventual assault on Raqqa.
	Now, it's a very successful...
	It's a complicated situation on the ground where you have U.S.-backed Kurdish and Arab forces, part of the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces, the SDF. And then further to the west, you have Turkish-backed Syrian members of the Free Syrian Army.
	They also seem to have their eyes on Raqqa as well.
	When this battle, this Offensive against ISIS and Raqqa is going to take place is not altogether clear.
	We're hearing from Washington.
	Pentagon officials are talking about weeks away.
	You have to keep in mind that if this offensive is going to begin, it needs to begin soon before temperatures in that part of Syria really start to get quite high, and it will be very difficult to carry on with a sustained offensive in that area.
	Yes, the fighting season is almost over.
	And I don't know why I thought this was Brawl from Barber Starr.
	But what's happening is stuff that's really not being reported on.
	We have boots on the ground, and there's an offensive, and they're front lines.
	Rangers and Marines.
	Come on, man.
	This is not...
	What is going on?
	Is this Trump doing his...
	I'm not going to tell you and just do it?
	You're going to have some huge thing?
	We're going to annihilate them?
	I don't think anyone knows about half this stuff.
	I don't think so either.
	However, we did get a report from the commander who was at the botched Yemen raid, which you will also not hear because it kind of goes against the blaming it all on Trump.
	There are new developments tonight in the U.S. raid on Al-Qaeda in Yemen that left a U.S. Navy SEAL dead.
	Our Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr is working the story for us.
	Barbara, the commander of the raid, speaking out.
	What are you learning?
	What are you learning?
	The four-star head of the Central Command that oversees military operations in the Middle East was on Capitol Hill today, and he offered some new details.
	He said he took full responsibility for the raid.
	He said the investigation has shown that the Navy SEALs on the ground, in his view, acted completely appropriately.
	He said a very heavy price was paid that day.
	Between 4 and 12 civilians on the ground were killed, including children.
	He said he took responsibility for that.
	They'll never know exactly how many.
	They can't verify it.
	They are not there on the ground in Yemen.
	And he said they got valuable intelligence.
	Sources are telling us the military is still working its way through that intelligence, some of it's cyber intelligence, electronic intelligence, trying to see what they can learn to conduct even more raids in Yemen.
	Wolf?
	You're also getting, Barbara, some new details on the hundreds of U.S. soldiers and Marines on the ground in Syria.
	Explain what you're learning.
	More troops, Wolf.
	What kind of an interview is this?
	What are you learning?
	Explain what you're learning.
	Tell us what you know.
	That's just brolf, man.
	Can you talk about that?
	Hey, man, don't harsh as mellow.
	It's brolf.
	Well, that's a reiteration of what they already talked about.
	Let's stay in Yemen.
	Well, thank you very much.
	So, how can we be on the ground in Yemen?
	Do we have some congressional war approval or something?
	No, that's a question that's not even asked.
	No.
	The Yemen thing is out of control.
	In fact, my Yemen update includes the UN investigations, which, and I also have the same thing for Turkey, but the complaining going on in the UN about what's going on in Yemen is outrageous.
	This is a massacre of some sort against the Yemenese people.
	We're in need of humanitarian assistance.
	The UN says the naval blockade imposed at the moment on Yemen has put the nation on the brink of famine.
	They also added that every ten minutes one child under the age of five dies in the country.
	For 2017, the humanitarian community requires US $2.1 billion to reach 12 million people with life-saving assistance and protection in Yemen.
	Only 6% of that funding has been received so far.
	I spoke with families who have become displaced to Arden as their homes were destroyed by airstrikes living in a destroyed school.
	All of them told me three things.
	They are hungry and sick And they need peace so they can return home.
	Now, we need some details on what's going on.
	This is really irritating me.
	It's been going on too long.
	It looks like a genocide to me.
	It does.
	And we're behind it.
	And the Brits.
	And the Saudis.
	And the Saudis.
	The Saudis are the front men.
	Yeah, well, the Saudis, we're doing it for the Saudis, aren't we?
	No, the Saudis are doing it for us.
	Why are we doing this?
	Well, it's never been fully explained.
	Meanwhile, another, like you said, the other story is not being discussed by the mainstream.
	How about this one?
	This one is targeting Turkey.
	And they're massacring the Kurds behind everyone's back, and the UN's trying to get involved to stop.
	And this is an interesting report.
	The Human Rights Office accused Turkey today of widespread killings and other abuses, mostly against minority Kurds.
	Investigators said roughly 2,000 people died during security operations in southeastern Turkey.
	I love that.
	Security operations.
	Yeah.
	You died during a security operation.
	It's for your security.
	18 months, the UN told of entire neighborhoods destroyed, displacing several hundred thousand people.
	In Geneva, a UN spokesman said Turkey is hindering a thorough investigation.
	It appears that not a single suspect was apprehended and not a single individual was prosecuted for violations that occurred during this period.
	The government of Turkey has repeatedly failed to grant us access, but has nevertheless contested the veracity of the very serious allegations made in this report.
	The Turkish government says that 800 of the dead were troops and that many others were Kurdish rebels.
	Oh man.
	I get very tired of this.
	Yeah.
	Especially with tax day coming up.
	I don't want my money going to this.
	I really, really despise this.
	That's where most of it goes.
	Before we take a break, John, I'd like to ask you a few questions and just see if I have this right.
	Now, I've been to your house once since we've done this show, and I've never seen your office slash studio.
	We joke about it all the time, the piles and everything.
	Yeah.
	But you actually didn't allow me to go see it.
	No, no.
	I'm not quite sure why.
	It's my private space, my private space.
	It's your safe space, I understand.
	It's my safe space.
	Now, but in talking through this, I think I've actually, I've put together enough clues to understand exactly what your setup is, and I want to see if I'm right.
	Go.
	Okay, and the clues come from years of analysis.
	This is actually years.
	The first thing is the spreadsheet.
	So you have issues with the spreadsheet scrolling.
	You have issues with your keyboard losing your keyboard.
	Wait a minute.
	Bear with me.
	I know exactly what the setup is.
	And that's really what clicked for me.
	I said, oh, wait a minute.
	He's missing his keyboard.
	So you're not sitting at a desk because you don't put the keyboard on the ground if you're sitting at a desk.
	So I'm going to first presume that you're laying down in a chaise.
	Is this correct?
	No.
	Okay, well...
	But I'll tell you this.
	This is something you close.
	Let me complete my picture and then I want you to respond.
	Now, we know you don't use headphones either.
	We also know that you don't have a regular monitor.
	You have a huge, what is it, 60-inch screen?
	No, no, no, no, no.
	It's just a big screen.
	It's a big screen.
	So here's how I envision it.
	You're in your chaise.
	You're laid back.
	You've got the keyboard on your lap.
	It has a trackball.
	This is why you have issues with the spreadsheet, because the trackball is not a great way to scroll a spreadsheet.
	That's why you print out your clip list, because you don't actually want to watch the TV that's suspended in air by your feet with the speakers with my voice on either side.
	And you're just laying back, chilling, and you're like, oh, I just put the keyboard on the ground.
	And of course, there's lots of stuff.
	What you need, really, is you need a keyboard pocket on your chaise.
	And I'm thinking this is a product we could make, the John C. Dvorak Podcast Chaise Lounge.
	Well, since nobody buys a chaise lounge anymore, or let alone knows what one is, which should be on the list, the word list...
	It's good.
	You know, I do lean back a lot of times and I pull the mic and I'm kind of like leaning back in a chair, a comfy chair.
	And that's why, you know, I don't need the headphones.
	I don't need all this other stuff.
	The keyboard, yes, the keyboard, it's not quite a desk.
	It's like a workspace.
	Yeah.
	I could put the keyboard up there, but I don't.
	See, the problem with the keyboard is I like the keyboard on my lap.
	Right, when you're reclined in your chaise.
	Yeah, I'm reclined a little bit, so I need a key.
	And it's not a trackball.
	It's a track point.
	What is the difference?
	No, actually, I don't use a track point on this keyboard.
	I use an actual mouse, so I have to actually get forward like I am now, and I have to be by the screen.
	I got my mouse in my hand.
	I don't like that.
	I'd rather have a track point.
	I use track points most of the time.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	Here's what I'm going to do.
	Over the next couple of months, I'm going to make a 3D movie, or at least some photos, depending on what...
	It's more likely to happen.
	Yes, probably.
	Of the office.
	Really?
	Yeah, I'll do that.
	Alternatively, I was thinking maybe you're just suspended in a sex swing or something.
	No, that's the other guy you're talking about.
	Oh.
	Sorry.
	I didn't mean to do that.
	I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fun.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	In the morning.
	Well, we do have some people to thank for show 9-11.
	And if I can find the keyboard, let's see.
	There he goes.
	If you find the keyboard, which is on the floor, I will start scrolling.
	Starting with Samuel Liechtenstein in New York City.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	And then we have the Fairbanks Fat Biker, 101.
	And I have a note from him, but it's not the note that, here it is.
	Another note says, Dear John and Adam, Been a long time since my last donation.
	He wants some karma for his new business.
	And a birthday...
	Oh, yes.
	You need to put him on the birthday call.
	Oh, well, good.
	Because we don't have any.
	So I was almost not going to have a...
	There you go.
	You got one guy that gets the birthday call.
	Okay.
	Now, the thing is that he made a...
	You need to give me the details because I don't have that in front of me, obviously.
	You just got it.
	Do it again.
	Happy birthday to the Fairbanks fat biker.
	That's it.
	No date.
	No nothing.
	Okay.
	So, he sent me in with this donation a wallet, a handmade wallet, a beautiful handmade wallet using, it looks like, I think either...
	Pleather?
	Potato chip bags or some sort of crap that's got an aluminized ice cream bag or something along those lines all sewn together.
	Nice.
	Interesting.
	He says this is like a Faraday cage.
	If you took this out and took something out of it and paid something with his wallet, you'd definitely get some attention.
	But it looks like, you know, you paid nothing for it, although they might be expensive.
	Very well, nicely sewn.
	Giacomo Jim Frimmel, I guess, in Mountain View, 91-11.
	These are our 91-11 guys.
	He also wants a de-douching.
	We'll have to put a de-douching at the end for all these guys.
	Yeah, I'll do that.
	And a, right.
	And a karma, jobs karma, yep.
	John Stambaugh in Enid, Oklahoma.
	These are all 91-11s.
	Sir Ryan Bemrose in Everett, Washington.
	He says, I'm not overboard, just out of work.
	Suit and tie guy in Peoria, Illinois.
	And that's it for our 91-11s.
	Okay, now we have 91-10s, which is really what the donation was about.
	Sir Christophe the Cantankerous from Parts Unknown.
	Jeffrey in Dural, New South Wales.
	Richard Futter in London, England.
	Brad Doherty in Brooklyn, New York.
	Baroness Monica Lansing in Drayton Valley, Alberta.
	Hans Jack Kez in Hollywood, Florida.
	Home of the dog racing.
	Richard Riley, aka Sir Slotcar.
	I think I've talked about dog racing before on the show.
	We still own Slotcars.com.
	Dog racing is not the same.
	Brian Herziger in Omaha, Nebraska.
	Melissa Hodges.
	I believe this is Dame Melissa Hodges.
	Sir Craig Porter in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
	These are good ones.
	There's a good list here.
	Sir Brashears of Tennessee.
	Patrick Coble, our buddy, also in Tennessee.
	Jeffrey Kelly in Arnold, Missouri.
	Sir Herb Lamb.
	By the way, Jeffrey Kelly is the end of the 91-10s.
	Now we go on to Sir Herb Lamb Boob.
	Boob.
	And Thomas in Frankfort, Delaware, or Deutschland.
	It's Frankfort, Deutschland.
	Boob.
	Boobs.
	Sir Selvayne Knight in Exile, 7777.
	Sierra and Christopher Walker, 6969.
	Sir Jeff Yerke over in, he's in Seattle, I believe.

	6789.
	Caleb Watts in Warner, one of my favorite town names, Warner Robins, Georgia.
	6421.
	Corey Burr in Columbus, Ohio.

	That's who that is.
	Jesse Nolet in Arlington, Texas.
	Starts our $50 donors.
	We're going to name place and location for $50.
	For $50, Richard Gardner.
	Sir Richard Gardner.
	Oh yes, Sir Richard Gardner.
	Beaumont Proudfoot in New South Wales.
	Eric Von Marder, 50.
	Kirsten Gleb, 50.
	These came in as pop money.
	Sir Paul from Horseheads, 50, came in as a check.
	And Kyle Meyer in Atlanta, Georgia, is our last contributor at $50.
	He's in Atlanta, Georgia.
	I want to thank all these folks for helping us on show 9-11.
	That was a good group of folk.
	Yeah, and thank you, because, of course, the number, the numerology for today's donations was chosen by the producers themselves.
	We don't make that up.
	Right.
	So the 9-11 is a great amount.
	Really appreciate it.
	And of course, thank you and appreciate everybody who came in under $50, which is typically for reasons of anonymity, but also a lot of subscriptions that you can take part in, because we don't take any commercial or corporate money.
	It's only from you.
	You determine how it goes.
	And we have another show coming up on Thursday.
	Dvorak.org slash N-A-D-U-C-H-I-S You've been de-douched.
	And some jobs karma.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Here we go.
	Short and sweet.
	Happy birthday to the Fairbanks fat biker.
	Happy birthday.
	Congratulations from your buddies with the best podcast in the universe.
	Happy birthday.
	Boom, that was short.
	Oh, titles first.
	That's right, we have title changes today for Sir Dwayne Melanthorne, who becomes a member of a very, very small select group here.
	He becomes the Grand Duke.
	Of the Pacific Northwest, we could not be happier and prouder.
	And, of course, that will be reflected on the peerage map, itm.im slash peerage.
	Sir Dwayne Melanthon, thank you so much.
	It is just unbelievable what you've done in support for the program.
	It's appreciated.
	So, too, Sir Mark Borghese, who becomes Baron of Las Vegas.
	You, too, sir.
	We appreciate all that you've done for our program.
	And you're a shining example of what can be done.
	And then we have three knightings today, John, so let's get out the blades.
	Do you need a scabbard on your chaise?
	I do.
	A chaise scabbard.
	That would be the way to go.
	Yeah.
	Do you have it?
	All right.
	Tyler Oglesby, Mark Montgomery, and Simon Foden, please join us here at the podium.
	I need to sign the lectern as fine as we are here to...
	Officially welcome you to the round table of the No Agenda Knights and Danes because of your support of the best podcasts in the universe of the amount of $1,000 or more.
	And I hereby proudly pronounce Kate the Sir Tyler Oglesby, Paladin of the Permian, Sir Mark Montgomery, Black Knight by the way, and Sir Simon of Jefferson.
	For you gentlemen, we have hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay.
	Whiskey and bacon, mangoes and filet mignon, crickets and cream, bad science and perky breast, gates and sake, box and vanilla, bong, hits and bourbon, sparkling cider, sparkling cider and escorts, ginger ale and gerbils, breast milk and pablum, and of course, mutton and mead.
	Yes, the table is filled with all the goodies that you knights and dames deserve.
	Go to noagendanation.com slash rings and let Eric the Shill know where we can send it to.
	And of course, I needed to do this for the 9-11 donors.
	WTC71! Everybody needs a reminder of that.
	And you want to go over some words right now?
	I've got all these emails up.
	Yeah, let's do this.
	That's a good idea.
	Okay.
	Now we're talking about this project.
	It's a no agenda project.
	Which will be to isolate some of these old phrases and wordages that could make a comeback.
	Yes, on bumper stickers.
	On the show, we've just talked about eat your heart out more than Carter's has pills called on the carpet.
	It sounds like a broken record is the one I put in last.
	Ah, that's a real old one that may come back with the resurgence of vinyl, but doubtful.
	Well, you know, records, even during the era, I mean, it was the 78s.
	And it was always a scratched record.
	It wasn't a broken record.
	You're right.
	The 78s and my parents had a big stack of them, I remember.
	And if they weren't completely aligned and you picked up a stack of 78s, it would go like this.
	And it would break.
	All the edges would break off in one go.
	Yeah.
	It was not good.
	Not good.
	78s were breakable.
	You could actually break one.
	So let's take a look.
	Here's a couple different guys who have written us.
	I'll go over them one by one.
	Starting with Kyle.
	My grandpa always says you couldn't hit the broadside of a barn.
	E.G. Did you see Obama throw the first pitch of the Nationals game?
	He couldn't hit the broadside of a barn.
	I don't know.
	Is that lost?
	I've not heard this a lot.
	You've heard it though, right?
	Yeah.
	I don't know if it's lost or if it was really ever that big.
	Okay.
	I'll put it on there anyway.
	During the Coin of the Realm speech, Dave Bozeman says...
	I was in junior high.
	This is an interesting one.
	I read this and I said, I've never heard this.
	This has got to be an East Coast thing.
	When I was in high school, junior high in the late 60s and 70s, I used to call the richer, powerful people the 400s.
	By the time I was in college, I never heard it again.
	And your podcast made me curious.
	He says it apparently refers to the New York socialite Carolyn Astor.
	And her summer cottage in Newport where a ballroom could only hold 400.
	So I guess people ridiculed her for that comment.
	Oh, my cottage?
	Oh, we're going to be at the cottage where it could only hold 400.
	400.
	Only 400.
	So that never, I don't know that ever caught on.
	Britishism from Eon Fleming's Casino Royale quote.
	Eon Fleming, not Eon.
	I'm never going to lose that one.
	This came from Chris Sundberg in Mercer Island.
	Quote, he told the driver to stop directly as they were off the main road.
	I think that's just a phrase that the British use.
	Yeah, that doesn't count.
	That doesn't count.
	That's out.
	Here's another one from Greg Davies.
	The word is baffle gab.
	Baffle gab.
	Have you ever heard this?
	It's another Britishism.
	Nope, I don't know it.
	Okay, this is not going well.
	I do know, did we put fiddlesticks on the list?
	We didn't put it on the list, but it should go on there.
	I think fiddlesticks is appropriate.
	Yeah, fiddlesticks is, yes, for sure.
	And what were fiddlesticks?
	Well, that's another issue.
	This is a good one from Jared.
	He says, this is a good one.
	Wet my whistle.
	Yeah, that's a good one.
	I haven't heard that in a long time.
	Sure.
	Wet your whistle.
	Wet your whistle.
	Now, Kyle, from Parts Unknown, he says, here are some words uttered by my mother and her kin that resided in Arkansas and Missouri, which would be Ozark country.
	I'm guessing.
	It'd be dad to burn it.
	Dad Blast It.
	Dad Gum It.
	Tarnation.
	Tarnation's a good one.
	Ah, Fiddlesticks.
	Nimrod.
	Criminy.
	Criminy.
	This one here, Criminy.
	Criminy is what I think.
	He's got a T in there.
	You've heard of Criminy?
	No.
	I have.
	Hissy fit, pussy footin', highfalutin', shinola, skedaddle.
	Skedaddle is a good one.
	That's a good one.
	Cotton pickin' minute.
	Cotton pickin', that's one I had on the list.
	Man, that's racist.
	I don't know, is it?
	Oh, of course.
	Keep your cotton pickin' hands off of me, is I think how it's used.
	Oh, okay.
	Hey, black person, don't touch me.
	Right, right, right.
	I'm sure it's racist.
	Racist.
	It has to be.
	Racist.
	Racist.
	Coochie.
	Hogwash?
	Frogwash?
	I've never heard of that, no.
	Gizzards?
	This is a piece of a chicken.
	Cattywumpus?
	I've heard that.
	No, I've not.
	Cattywumpus?
	No, I've not heard that one.
	You've never heard cattywumpus?
	No, no, no.
	I'm young, John.
	I'm a young man.
	I'm a young man.
	No, well, yeah, maybe.
	Whackadoodle?
	Yeah, that's still used.
	I say whackadoodle.
	I've never seen it used.
	Blotto belongs in there.
	Blotto.
	Well, Blotto, yeah, definitely Blotto.
	I'm Blotto, man.
	And this one, which is a great one, is hankering.
	Hankering, yeah.
	These are all kind of southernisms I think he's caught here from this area.
	That was the best list so far.
	Here's one from Tom Bushy.
	Two words for you in the jabroni and jamoke vein.
	Honeyock and chumbalone.
	Chumbalone.
	No.
	Chumbalone or chumbalone.
	I don't know.
	Never heard of this.
	I never heard of either one of these.
	Never heard of these.
	From Nicole, you can bet your bottom dollar.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And not until they scrape the bottom of the barrel.
	Not until they scrape the bottom of the barrel, yeah.
	That's a good one.
	Definitely.
	And then this one, which I don't know if it really is a true one or not, Shiver My Timbers.
	Yeah, sure.
	Shiver Me Timbers!
	Yeah, but that's, you know, sounds like just a...
	Now, he has a link to Shiver My Timbers, which apparently is on the wiki page.
	Shiver My Timbers.
	Shiver Me Timbers in Standard Niggas.
	Exclamation in the form of a mock oath.
	Usually attributed to the speech of pirates in the work of fiction.
	Right.
	It's employed as a literary device to give a shock.
	Some writer dreamed it up.
	And obviously, one that is just no longer used, sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.
	Because we know that words hurt, so that's changed.
	Apparently, nowadays.
	Words are hurtful, man.
	William Bryant came up with what he says his mom always said, And I don't know.
	It says this.
	Well, I swanny.
	I've never heard that.
	I don't know what that's referring to.
	How about I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today?
	Yeah, wimpy.
	Okay.
	My grandma used to say, that slays me.
	Nah, we used that in the 80s and the 90s.
	It has been used too new.
	No, no.
	What else we got here?
	Anything else?
	Nope.
	That concludes our list.
	This is good because people are going to start sending us ones and we'll be a little more selective now.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	We'll look for the ones.
	There's a bunch of them in this last batch that have to go on the list for sure.
	I'll put them on.
	I have a quick little package, four clips about the new immigration executive order.
	Which apparently is pretty much the same, except it excludes Iraq.
	And some other things.
	Some clarification on green card holders.
	But that doesn't mean that we didn't have a lot of people going crazy about it.
	Oh yeah.
	Let's start with Jennifer Rubin.
	And she is from WAPO. WAPO, WAPO, WAPO, WAPO. Hold on a second.
	Before I play her.
	Okay.
	I was going to do a whole piece on her.
	I'm not going to do it today.
	Jennifer Rubin is billed on Twitter and on the website as the conservative blogger for the WAPO. Blogger?
	She has written nothing but hate Trump stuff since day one and she has never said anything positive about anything conservative but yet...
	She is the conservative blogger.
	There is a sort of contempt for expertise that we've seen, this sort of contempt for the establishment.
	And you see it, you know, in this...
	And also sort of a desire to use the power of the state as essentially a propaganda outlet.
	I mean, I find this sort of voice idea that the government's going to publish these official reports of crimes committed by undocumented, unauthorized immigrants or honor-killing research is, you know, this...
	This is really using the power of the state in some pretty alarming ways.
	It sure is.
	And the voice thing is even worse.
	It just says aliens.
	It doesn't even say illegal aliens.
	So you could be a visa holder.
	You could be a green card holder.
	Basically, they're creating a mob mentality where they are trying to once again vilify immigrants.
	And this is a very disturbing pattern.
	I would actually argue that that is unconstitutional.
	We're not allowed to collect Information and publicized information based upon national identity.
	But put that aside for a moment.
	They don't care much about the Constitution either.
	I do think it's very troubling.
	And I think that's why they hate the press, though.
	They don't want independent, verifiable facts to get out there.
	They want to be the sole source of knowledge so they can put out their nonsense that they pick up from Fox or wherever they pick it up from.
	This is like a new gimmick, it seems to me.
	And I think that David Brooks is the one who, I think that somebody got a clue when they turned into a, I don't know, a raving lunatic on the PBS. Because he's supposed to represent the conservative side of a debate when you have two guys sitting at the table.
	Yeah, this is their version of it.
	So what you do is you just give somebody – okay, your title now – what do you think of Trump?
	I hate Trump.
	He stinks.
	I don't like the Republicans.
	They're a bunch of assholes.
	Okay, you are going to be – your new title is going to be the conservative blogger.
	So it gives full balance.
	It's interesting you bring that up.
	Denzel Washington did an interview with BBC and pretty much said exactly what you just said.
	So what is the long-term effect of too much information?
	The polarization of the electorate?
	A meaner spiritness.
	And false information as well, because the whole fake news thing.
	Pick one.
	Pick one.
	It's not just one.
	That's the flavor of the day.
	Every day is something else.
	People have to understand, are you using your device or is your device using you?
	Can you put it down?
	Can you turn it off?
	You're talking about literally the places people get their information from.
	I don't care what information.
	Pick one.
	Phone?
	Television?
	It used to be news.
	Now it's opinions.
	Oh, glasses.
	We have three experts on the right, three on the left.
	Let's discuss.
	Ooh, light bulbs.
	We have three experts on the right.
	That's not news.
	That's opinions.
	Over and over and over.
	Cycle, cycle, cycle, cycle, cycle.
	What is the long-term effect of too much information?
	If you're sitting there and you're thinking it's the gospel, what I'm saying to people is, to all of us, I'm not knocking the phone.
	What I'm saying is we have to understand.
	We have to at least ask ourselves around the world, you, here in England, wherever you are, what is it doing to us?
	Well, of course.
	What he should have said is, what are you doing to us?
	That would have been even better if he had asked the BBC, what are you doing to us?
	And what he's describing here is, obviously, what is responsible for the alternative universe dissociative disorder, soon to be in DSM-5.
	Back to immigration.
	Secretary Kelly said something that, well, it was just clear as a bell.
	If you get some young kids who are coming in, managed to sneak into the United States with their parents, our Department of Homeland Security personnel are going to separate the children from their moms and dads.
	We have tremendous experience in dealing with unaccompanied minors.
	We turn them over to HHS and they do a very, very good job of either putting them in kind of foster care or linking them up with parents or family members in the United States.
	Yes, I am considering, in order to deter more movement along this terribly dangerous network, I am considering exactly that.
	They will be well cared for as we deal with their parents.
	But you understand how that looks to the average person who is more important to me, Wolf, to try to keep people off of this awful network.
	You know, something happened at the concert we went to that I wanted to bring up just because it was something that the machine has programmed me as well.
	And I fought against it.
	It was very hard.
	And I am kind of proud of myself.
	But it's along the same lines of this.
	Oh, the optics of this.
	Oh, you're separating children from their parents.
	Oh.
	Oh, how horrible.
	So we're at the front, and we got there really early.
	And we're in the front row, and it's standing room only.
	It's just, you know, 200, 250 people.
	Leanne Rimes.
	And Tina loves Leanne.
	I like Leanne Rimes, too.
	Yeah, she's good.
	She's a fantastic singer.
	And by the way, she's a great band.
	So we're standing right up front.
	And we got there really early to do so.
	And there's a girl and her parents behind us.
	And she's probably eight, eight years old.
	And she's like a super fan.
	You can see it.
	She's probably been to every concert that she can.
	She's singing all the words.
	But really, we're dancing.
	Tina and I, we're dancing.
	There's just a rope right in front.
	And the parents send her to go say, excuse me, can I stand in front of you?
	And I really had to think about this.
	And I wound up saying, no.
	No.
	We're dancing here.
	I don't want to be responsible for you.
	But really, the point was, I wanted this kid to hear no.
	Particularly because her parents sent her off to go, oh, why don't you ask that man?
	You know what?
	No.
	And they didn't say anything to me, but I would have suggested they came earlier, or maybe this is not an appropriate venue for an eight-year-old.
	But people need to do this more often.
	Did the little eight-year-old have ear protection?
	No.
	Of course not.
	No.
	But I was proud of myself, but I felt bad.
	I really did.
	I feel bad about it, but kids need to hear no from time to time.
	Yes, I think you did the right thing.
	It was hard, though, John.
	It was really hard.
	Yeah, because you're programmed by the machine.
	Exactly.
	Now we have NPR. I'm happy when I get NPR clips.
	It's just such a different sound on the show.
	As Homeland Security has announced a decline in illegal Mexican border crossings, we don't need a wall at all now, do we?
	The point here is that this happened in spite of the increase in both manpower, boots on the ground, and deportations that was going on at exactly that same time under Obama.
	And then when the Mexican economy began to pick up last year, that helped stem the tide from coming from Mexico.
	I think the moral is it's sometimes about what's happening on this side of the border, but not always.
	At the same time, people here figure like 40%.
	And I'm sure they're wondering, could this be different?
	That's a good question.
	I mean, it could be different.
	This is a big decline.
	And if it continues, we may start to see its effect on the construction and agricultural industries in this country.
	What?
	For example, here in Texas.
	Housing construction is booming and contractors are having trouble expanding as fast as they'd like.
	It's no secret here anyway that a significant number of these men framing these homes and picking fruits and vegetables are unauthorized immigrants.
	If employers lose access to cheap labor, Americans are going to pay more for the products they produce.
	It's straightforward economics.
	That's straightforward.
	Slavery!
	You're endorsing slavery to the American people.
	Pretty much.
	Hey, listen, man.
	If you want to stop all these people, your product is going to be more expensive.
	Yeah, it probably will.
	Pretty lame, man.
	It's pretty funny.
	Pretty lame.
	This is never going to happen in Texas or California.
	Don't kid yourself.
	This is just an idle threat.
	We have plenty of slave labor in California that's not going anywhere.
	And you're proud of it there.
	Oh, yeah.
	The place is all Democrats, so it's all Democrats.
	So, you know, they're the ones who are fronting.
	They're the front men for the whole scam.
	Final clip is from the Council on America-Islamic Relations.
	These are the people whose task it is to bring us closer together.
	Yeah, even though they're funded by the Muslim Brotherhood and they just soon see us all in chains.
	That may be so, but still, no one really played their statement on the new travel order.
	It warrants listening to.
	The driving force behind this Muslim ban are the Islamophobes and the white supremacists employed by the Trump administration, including Sebastian Gorka, Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller.
	This order is just a preview of future anti-Muslim, anti-American policy proposals being sent to President Trump by his Islamophobic advisors.
	Well, thank you very much.
	Let's summarize things well.
	White supremacists, Islamophobes, and it's just the beginning.
	Hey, thanks for the outreach, Kerr.
	Hands across the border, people.
	It was just a douchebag operation.
	I have one last thing I want to talk about, and it's going to take a couple of minutes.
	Good.
	This is, we talked about this before when it happened to Obama, and it doesn't, and I'm thinking this is kind of the same thing, the same kind of the machines, agents, you know, pulling this down.
	Here is the operative clip.
	It's called Fence Jumper.
	26-year-old Jonathan Tran of California appeared in court Saturday.
	The D.C. Metro Police report says he claimed to be a friend of the president and that he had an appointment.
	He was carrying two cans of mace and admitted to jumping the fence.
	Tran is being held until his next court appearance Monday.
	The Secret Service says at 11.38 p.m., Tran, carrying a backpack, breached the perimeter fence between the East Wing and Treasury Department.
	He was apprehended near the South Portico entrance.
	That entrance leads to the president's private residence.
	Mr.
	Trump was at home at the time, although the Secret Service says he was not in danger.
	Today at a working lunch with cabinet secretaries, Mr.
	Trump praised his security team.
	The Secret Service did a fantastic job.
	It was a troubled person.
	During the Obama administration, there were multiple White House intrusions, prompting plans for the perimeter fence to be strengthened and raised.
	Extended spikes were installed as an interim solution.
	Secret Service Director Joe Clancy, who was brought in under President Obama to fix issues within the agency, retired a week ago.
	President Trump is still deciding on his replacement.
	This is the old show you that we can get close to you.
	We can get to you anytime we want.
	And we'll prove it to you.
	And then we'll make it...
	And the guy's nuts, by the way, so he's never going to blame anybody.
	So if the guy does something, he's nuts.
	So it's like Saran Saran, you know, this...
	Nuts.
	He's nuts.
	So we're going to see next on the agenda will be somebody standing next to Trump who turns out not to be who they're supposed to be.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	Breached all security.
	Yep, you bet.
	Yeah, and ended up standing right there, and then they haul him off.
	I mean, this is the same script.
	So, here we go.
	Well, we will continue to deconstruct everything for you.
	I've got some more good out-of-context clips that I'll use on Thursday.
	We're just out of time.
	Once again.
	But thank you for producing the program with us.
	People now learn how to make clips.
	And of course, your financial support is always desperately needed.
	Remember us for that at Dvorak.org slash NA. Anything to watch, John, for the...
	Oh, you should watch Santa Clarita Diet.
	There is a bunch of...
	You know, the basketball March Madness is wrapping up today.
	Towards the brackets.
	And when those games begin, then it's actually very entertaining basketball for about two or three weeks.
	College hoops.
	As I said, you should consider watching Santa Clarita Diet.
	Have you seen this show?
	No.
	You don't know about it?
	What's her name?
	Drew.
	Drew Barrymore.
	Oh, yes, you told me about it.
	I've got to check it out.
	You know the other one that they're talking about, The Revenants?
	Yes.
	It's a huge hit.
	I haven't seen it yet.
	It's called The Unborn or The Returns or The Returners or something like that.
	It was originally a French thing called The Revenants.
	I'll check it out.
	And it's a zombie...
	Well, Santa Clarita Diet is...
	Drew Barrymore is a cannibal zombie.
	Hmm.
	That's well worth it.
	Okay, I'll make sure to check that out.
	All right, everybody, be on the lookout for the cannibals.
	And, of course, be on the lookout for another No Agenda show, which will be here on Thursday.
	And, of course, we'll have the results from the Dutch election.
	Go Ancilla!
	Coming to you from the skyscraper crackpot condo, to be exact, in downtown Austin, Texas, in the middle of South by Southwest, where, of course, it's raining.
	We always bring that for the tourists.
	FEMA Region 6 on the government maps.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I just lie here in my chaise lounge, sipping a mint julep, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back on Thursday, right here, on No Agenda.
	Adios, mofos!
	What will we do with a drunken donor?
	A lie in the morning.
	Hooray John and Adam!
	Hooray John and Adam, hooray John and Adam, her lie in the morning.
	Make them listen to no agenda, make them listen to no agenda, make them listen to no agenda, her lie in the morning.
	Give them camaraderie douchey, give them camaraderie douchey, give them camaraderie douchey, her lie in the morning.
	Hooray John and Adam, hooray John and Adam, hooray John and Adam, her lie in the morning.
	Thanks, Obama.
	Room looks like the wreck of the Hesperus.
	All right.
	Now, uh, General, let's get straight to the heat of the meat here.
	On Saturday.
	The mass of her ass times the cue of her boom times the angle of your dangle looks like the wreck of the Hesperus.
	In the alternative universe.
	But not to label all refugees.
	I was going to say, come on.
	The mass of her ass.
	The wreck of the Hesperus.
	Never.
	But fake Laura Hunter has said...
	Time to go, but I think the...
	I was going to say time to go, but I think...
	Now, General, the heat of the meat here.
	Nothing from that, just to put that out there, but go ahead.
	And that's fine, I mean...
	Out there, but go ahead.
	And that's fine, I mean...
	That is the heat of the meat.
	The heat of the meat, Laura Hunter, has sent out nearly a million followers on Facebook.
	Your ads are away for the Sabbath.
	This all begins on Facebook.
	Fake Laura even had a made-up...
	Angle of your dangle.
	Fake Laura even hogged an eastern of the line.
	Far-right blogger, anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, and very pro-truck.
	This even living with her dog.
	Uh, General, let's get straight to the heat of the meat here.
	Professionalized living with her dog.
	Is this a picture of me?
	It's racist.
	Real Laura is asked to even meet here.
	Even had a made-up Real Laura.
	Fake Laura even had a made-up bio.
	A lot of conference happened.
	Fake Laura's fans got real Laura.
	We walked out to say enough is enough.
	Resist.
	The man is not trustworthy.
	He makes promises.
	As a matter of fact, I wonder sometimes if he's not taking his cues from poop.
	A day without a woman is an angry party.
	We walked out to say enough is enough.
	Resist.
	And the wall that he was going to build, the big beautiful wall.
	We walked out to say enough is enough.
	Resist.
	A day without a woman is an angry party.
	A man is not trustworthy on human promises.
	As a matter of fact, I wonder sometimes if he's not taking his cues from poop.
	We walked out to say enough is enough.
	Resist.
	While Putin is continuing to advance into Korea.
	A day without a woman is an angry party.
	We walked out to say enough is enough.
	Resist.
	We much.
