	So let's give him a karma.
	Adam Curry, John C. DeVore.
	It's Sunday, April 2nd, 2017, and this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 9 or 1-7.
	This is No Agenda.
	Requesting immunity for all sock puppets and thousands of trolls.
	And broadcasting live from the darkest coins of the internet here in downtown Austin, Tejas.
	Capital of the Drone Star Stadium.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm just stapling paperwork, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's crack, blood, and buzzkill in the morning.
	Ah, taxes?
	No, paperwork.
	You don't have any paperwork.
	I do.
	I print a lot of stuff out before I do the show and I had to staple some.
	So they kept intact.
	Yeah, show paperwork.
	That makes sense.
	It's paperwork.
	I have piles and piles of paper.
	Well, I know your imagination gets carried away, but it's not that bad.
	Found dead.
	Found dead under a pile of paperwork.
	Hey, welcome, John, from the best place to live in in America.
	Since when?
	Since, let me see who proclaimed this.
	Were they there during the allergy season?
	This is U.S. News and World Report.
	The answer, no.
	I don't see how they get that.
	Let's see, number two was Boston?
	No, I'm sorry.
	What is it?
	No, here we are.
	No, top ten.
	Austin, Denver.
	Top ten, let's go.
	Okay, ready?
	Do you want from ten to one?
	Let's do ten to one.
	That's more exciting.
	Yeah, do a countdown.
	Okay.
	Hey, everybody!
	And coming in at number ten, straight in with a bullet, we've got Salt Lake City.
	Number nine this week on the countdown.
	The town that we thought was a punchline growing up, Des Moines, Iowa.
	At number 8, Beantown, Boston.
	I don't see it.
	At number 7, Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina.
	And looking at number 6, we've got those Northwesterners, Seattle.
	And could you believe it?
	I've visited this town as well.
	Number 5 on the chart, Fayetteville, Arkansas.
	Also known as Fayette Nam.
	Washington, D.C. checks in at number 4.
	Number 3, Washington, D.C., number 4.
	That doesn't make sense.
	Number three, San Jose, California.
	How about that?
	Really?
	Number two, Denver.
	And number one, everybody, Austin Tejas.
	However, I think we ought to be very, very careful living in Austin.
	Especially if we are to believe Jean-Claude Juncker de Drunker from the European Union, who was very angry at our president here in America.
	So Brexit isn't the end.
	A lot of people would like it that way.
	Even people on another continent where the newly elected US president was happy that the Brexit was taking place and has asked other countries to do the same.
	And if he goes on like that, I am going to promote the...
	Don't talk to the punchlines, man!
	I am going to promote the independence of Ohio and Austin, Texas in the United States.
	He's got a clue.
	Here's how we respond in Austin.
	What do you want to do?
	I'm ready.
	Come on.
	Come on.
	And by the way, Austin is not a state.
	Moron.
	He says Ohio.
	Okay.
	Right in the middle of the country, so that's not going to work.
	He's got to be on a border state.
	Well, if he had said Texas, we would have been okay.
	Yeah, we want a Brexit.
	That's okay.
	We are ready.
	California does too, so there you go.
	Yeah, but they don't have that shotgun cocking sound.
	All they can do is just snap their fingers.
	Yeah, that's good generality to make.
	Yeah.
	Well, you're an exception.
	So, I want to get back to this list.
	Oh, okay.
	So, you read this because it should bring up my list lecture.
	Yes, this is one of the reasons I'd like to bring this up.
	Now...
	The list that came out just recently, which proves my list lecture, that these lists are a joke done by the editors who sit around at lunch.
	Because I've been involved in a bunch of these.
	Yes, explain how these used to work back in the day.
	These lists work like this.
	You want to see all the top ten places to live.
	And so they put these lists together, and they do it around lunchtime.
	Usually they bring some food in.
	Alcohol.
	Alcohol.
	Hey, Joel, you want to be on the list, the committee we're going to do?
	We're going to pick the top cities in the country.
	Oh, cool.
	I love Austin.
	It's so cool at South By.
	It's so cool.
	So Fortune did this list of the most influential people, top 10.
	And I believe it was number four.
	I don't have the list in front of me.
	It was number four or something.
	It was Melissa Gates.
	Yeah, okay.
	That makes sense.
	And Bill wasn't on the list.
	No, of course not.
	And that just...
	Here's what happens.
	One of these days you're going to tell us all of your Bill Gates stories, right?
	Yeah.
	The real ones.
	The real ones.
	I get good stories.
	Okay, I know you do.
	So the...
	You're at the meeting and you're sitting around the table and you say...
	Who can we really piss off by doing this?
	Oh, let's put Melissa's name on here at number four and then leave Bill off.
	That would be great.
	He'll be so in the morning.
	So I've been on a number of these and one of the things that you're always thinking about is how you can kind of just humiliate somebody by reversing their position with somebody else's.
	It's bullcrap.
	These lists are all junk.
	All of them.
	They took it to a whole new level.
	They had metrics.
	They had metrics.
	They had the desirability index.
	Oh, here we go.
	Yeah, this is great.
	The desirability index measures whether or not people want to live in a given metro area.
	The value index measures how comfortably the average resident of each metro can afford to live within his or her means.
	Austin's score, by the way, out of a possible 10 is 7.3.
	Yeah, I'm calling bullcrap on that.
	It's expensive here.
	The job market index measures the strength of each metro area's job market.
	Well, we do have a lot of tech jobs, for sure.
	The quality of life index measures how satisfied residents are with their daily lives in each ranked metro area.
	Austin gets a 7.3.
	And the net migration measures whether people are moving to or away from each of the metro areas.
	And of course, Austin has a 9.8.
	And it's interesting, everyone from California is coming, including the number three city, San Jose.
	So how does that work?
	And by the way, let's go to the number three city, San Jose.
	Are you kidding me?
	This is another example of the editor sitting around saying, well, I can really burn everybody in the San Francisco Bay Area.
	Let's put San Jose on the list and leave everyone else off.
	San Jose, and we have a couple of listeners there and they know I'm right, is a shithole.
	Anyway, that's the way I see it.
	And then just one more thing to start off this program.
	Because you used to participate in this actively back in the day when it still made sense.
	Now it's just become the annual Silicon Valley PR fest of douchebags.
	April Fool's Day.
	Oh yeah, I hate it.
	Gee, we have Alexa for pets.
	Oh boy, you almost fooled me.
	No, the way April Fool's...
	And I think I'm in the April Fool's Hall of Fame for one or maybe two of these.
	Yes, you're old school.
	I'm old school.
	And I try to explain it to people who are trying to do April Fool's gags.
	An April Fool's gag has to be believable...
	Just enough so it's borderline.
	It's not borderline.
	It should be received as a hoax.
	But within the believability, you have to have clues that it's an April Fool's gig.
	For example, I did an April Fool's subject line.
	I didn't take it to any extreme.
	I just made it a funny line on the email, which one guy wrote in today saying, that's hilarious.
	I realize I haven't been donating for a while.
	And what was it?
	What was this...
	The subject line was...
	I have to get the actual subject line.
	Get it right.
	Do you have it in front of you?
	No, no, no, no.
	I did see it come in and I saw the draft, but I don't think I ever registered the subject line.
	I can take a look real quick if you want.
	Wow.
	What?
	I'm a busy man.
	Apparently.
	On the spin class.
	No, no.
	Yesterday was the annual bandana ball for the Ronald McDonald House.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, then you were busy.
	So I'll give you a pass.
	And, you know, I'm an active participant.
	New law makes podcasting illegal.
	HB 4117.
	Now what?
	Excellent.
	Excellent.
	Yeah, that is the way it's done.
	And the key, all within that one line, there is both the April Fool's gag and the notice that it's an April Fool's gag.
	Right, right, right, right.
	HB4117 is 4-1-17 April 1st.
	That is a classic.
	Yes.
	That's good.
	Yeah, Google had one in Holland.
	Introducing Google Wind.
	The Google ones, by the way, are over the top.
	They're stupid.
	There's no way anyone would think they're even remotely real.
	They're stupid.
	Oh, yeah, and they had DJ Tiesto on this video.
	Oh, yeah, so Google, I've teamed up with Google.
	Google's great.
	And they're going to reverse all the windmills so we can blow the clouds away and make it stop raining.
	You know, I almost believed it.
	It's insulting.
	It's just insulting.
	It's not even close to being recognizable.
	It's just PR. It's all about PR. Now, while you mention your fake title there, your fake news that you're sending around, your fake newsletter with your fake news title, In Congress, we had a lot of people talking about fake news.
	This, of course, is the Russian hearings.
	And, well, you could imagine that we're not far off from not necessarily making podcasting illegal, but certainly requiring a license because the next step First, we had verification, and I'm proudly still unverified.
	Not verified on Twitter, not verified on Facebook.
	It's become somewhat of a bad thing.
	Sorry, John.
	I mean, I know you have a checkmark, and you're probably sad about that now.
	No.
	You, Mr.
	Watts, I think did a really good job of laying out for us how these influence operate.
	And this is, I was going to speak in a moment, Clinton Watts, I think he's a former FBI guy.
	Again, these hearings on the Hill, and we watch them, we watch C-SPAN so you don't have to, but we watch it knowing that everything is set up.
	These people are rehearsed, they have scripts, so all you're hearing is just the agenda that is coming.
	They're just setting you up for it.
	...operations actually have the impact of sort of organically changing the trends on media and end up being sort of a self-reinforcing mechanism.
	Are there analytic or digital tools that can discount the impact of those bots and of that manufactured forcing mechanism within the way that information travels on the web today?
	And what's really nice, if you have just 1% of understanding of how the internet works, you need 5%.
	You're already way beyond these jamokes.
	It impacts the media.
	Sure.
	So I think all the social media companies are starting to realize that their ad revenue mechanisms can be manipulated for this.
	There are more than just Russian fake news out there.
	You've got profiteers, you've got political groups that do that, and you've got, you know, satire, which is thrown in the mix of it.
	You're seeing the social media companies try and regulate this now or deem things as fake news, but that's going to fail.
	Ultimately, any attempt to deem things as fake or not fake is going to lead to freedom of speech violations, freedom of the press violations.
	Because how do you do that?
	How do you determine who's being fair or not?
	I think a better way to do it and what we propose is to create the version of information consumer reports.
	Which is an independent agency which is funded by the social media companies.
	It has no government involvement, no government funding.
	It provides a rating in terms of the news that shows up on your feed.
	Such that, much like nutrition labels on food...
	No agenda.
	Nutritious for your brain.
	You know what you're consuming.
	Right now, part of the reason this is so effective is a fake news outlet can pop up one day, pump out stories that are sensational, and fall down the next.
	Pumping.
	That happens all the time.
	Yeah, they just pop up and pump, pop up and pump.
	A fake news outlet can pop up one day, pump out stories that are sensational, and fall down the next.
	The consumer, an American, on their Facebook feed, which is curated to the things that they like to click on, and even in their Google searches, which is curated to things other people like to click on like them, end up clicking on these things because they're popular.
	If they had a score or a rating, some sort of symbol there that said, you're more than welcome to click on this, but this is the National Enquirer, you know, you can evaluate how much of it is truth and how...
	We should have a number 10 rating.
	It's the number one truth magazine, the National Enquirer.
	Hello, ever see Men in Black?
	How much is manipulated truth and how much is false?
	Just like we saw with Consumer Reports when I was growing up, it had 15 variables.
	It's rated over time, and it becomes a trusted integer that you can go to.
	I think that's a better way to do it.
	We're not restricting Americans' freedom of speech and press, and at the same point where if they want to look at fake news, they can look at it, but they know what they're getting into.
	Well, the rating for the No Agenda show is forthcoming, no doubt.
	I think that's probably true, but this is nonsense.
	I mean, even Consumer Reports barely can accomplish what it's supposed to.
	I remember when, for example, if you were a camera buff just maybe 20 years ago, you'd own a mamea because that's a mamea.
	Because that's the camera they kept pushing every time it came around.
	Wait a minute, you're saying that Consumer Reports is possibly corrupt?
	No, I don't think they're corrupt at all.
	In fact, I would say the likelihood of their being corrupt is not even close.
	But I do remember when we were at PC Magazine during its heyday when there was a 500-page magazine twice a month, and we were doing reviews, and you compare it to what Consumer Reports tried to do.
	Yeah.
	There was no comparison and they weren't even close to being accurate.
	They didn't have the right people.
	Although this is not exactly how Consumer Reports works.
	Because this would be the social media companies themselves putting together these consumer reports of information.
	That would be like Samsung and Apple and Microsoft putting together the rating of phones.
	Right.
	So that's bull crap.
	It's not even close to consumer reports.
	The funniest thing, and we have dudes named Ben, Dudette's named Bernadette, It was Marco Rubio.
	Oh, I got this.
	Marco Rubio's an idiot.
	I had no idea he was this dumb.
	I got the clip here.
	In July of 2016, shortly after I announced that I would seek re-election to the United States Senate, former members of my presidential campaign team, who had access to the internal information of my presidential campaign, were targeted by IP addresses with an unknown location within Russia.
	That effort was unsuccessful.
	I'd also informed the committee that within the last 24 hours, at 10.45 a.m.
	yesterday, a second attempt was made, again, against former members of my presidential campaign team who had access to our internal information, again, targeted from an IP address from an unknown location in Russia.
	And that effort was also unsuccessful.
	It's called port scanning, you dick.
	You douchebag.
	It just happens all the time.
	Oh, attack!
	I'm being attacked?
	Remember they had that product that used to be out?
	I can't remember the name of this thing, but it was a little firewall that you'd run, and it would keep track of all these miscellaneous hits that you'd get.
	And it would be...
	Thousands an hour from, oh, these IP addresses, because there's just port probing.
	They're looking around saying, is this port open?
	Then they ping it.
	I guess not.
	Does this port?
	No, I don't think so.
	And it would go on and on and on.
	Then it would go to the next place.
	And if you were running this program, you'd look like you're being under constant attack.
	Well, it's just nonsense.
	Yeah, if I log into my email server right now and I do a tail F on the log file, hold on.
	I can just read to you what's happening.
	Um Well, a lot of it is spam, obviously, but when you see what comes in, it just, it's pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, it's continuous.
	Yeah, and it's from all, yeah, pounding, just pounding, pounding, pounding, slamming you.
	Yeah, butt slamming me, it's like, butt slam!
	Pounding away.
	I have a couple more.
	I actually got some reasonably funny stuff, at least from our perspective, from these hearings.
	This is James Lankford, U.S. Senator for Oklahoma.
	Boy, he doesn't like Russia.
	Hello, Russia.
	It is painful.
	To watch the Russian people trapped in a regime that is doing this worldwide.
	Oh, you poor Russian people.
	We have producers in Russia.
	It must be really tough.
	It's so painful.
	So painful to think that you're in such a horrible place.
	They'd like to be able to watch the Olympics and know their athletes weren't doped ahead of time.
	Oh, yes.
	Every Russian, every Russian thinks this.
	Every Russian.
	Really?
	Whoa, you got butt slammed!
	Ho, ho, ho, ho!
	They would like to believe their own news when the Russians proclaim we're not in Ukraine and we're not in Syria.
	And they are.
	And it'd be nice if we could, as he said, watch my lips.
	They don't say we're not in Syria.
	They said we're coming to Syria.
	We're going to start bombing the place.
	What is he talking about?
	Again, it's just funny to watch.
	To me, it's comedy.
	He said watch my lips and know that he's not trying to deceive our audience.
	Oh, by the way.
	You did see the Russian April Fool's joke, didn't you?
	Which one?
	Oh, my God.
	Oh, my God.
	Please do that.
	Oh, my God.
	That's the thing you do.
	Now, I don't speak Russian, but if you called the Russian Foreign Ministry, they had a voicemail recording that said, to arrange a call from Russian diplomat to do political openness, press 1.
	Press 2 to use the services of Russian hackers.
	And 3 to request election interference.
	You know, we used to be those guys.
	We used to stand above all of it and we would make the funny jokes.
	I see people on the face bag driving past Mar-a-Lago, flipping off the president.
	We used to do that when we drove by the Iranian embassy.
	We'd flip them off when they had our people.
	You know, what happened?
	We became douchebags!
	And the Russians became the funny guys!
	This is very sad to me.
	Yeah, it's just not good.
	Not healthy.
	No, let's go back to Lankford's.
	Why did he think he could get away with it this time?
	This is not new for the Russians.
	They've done this for a long time across Europe.
	But it was much more engaging this time in our election.
	This was a long time coming, and it seemed to be very well organized this time.
	Part of my question is, I get that completely.
	Isn't that great?
	They're just making...
	They're dreaming.
	They're inventing.
	Hallucinating.
	They're hallucinating.
	Yeah, they're lunatics.
	Or this actually happens in Dimension B. I mean, maybe they really saw it that way.
	They're hallucinating.
	Why this time?
	Keep straddling, my friend.
	Keep straddling.
	We've got to keep straddling.
	They look to be more prepared, probing, evaluating states, trying to get into voter records.
	No, no, that was Department of Homeland Security that tried to get into the voter records, and it was admitted they tried to do that with port scans, etc.
	But okay.
	To be more active in the process.
	They have plausible deniability.
	If you wanted to run this during the Cold War, you would have had to put agents inside the United States.
	They would have been stalked by counterintelligence professionals.
	They would have been run down.
	You couldn't have gained an audience on a communist newspaper, for example.
	Today, you can create the content, gain the audience, build the bots, pick out the election and even the voters that are valued the most in swing states, and actually insert the right content in a deliberate period.
	Have these guys ever started an internet-based business?
	They make it sound really easy.
	Yeah, you just write up some crap.
	I'll tell you about it again.
	I've done a number of startup blogs.
	And it takes 18 months before you get any traction whatsoever, even if you have a big name.
	You don't have the bots.
	You don't have the bots.
	You need the bots.
	The bots don't really get you real views, and so it's just a bunch of bots floating around.
	What does that got to do with corrupting anything?
	Could you please get with the program, Congressman Dvorak?
	It's the bots.
	Build the bots.
	I wish there was one congressman that had the right consultants.
	Hello?
	The right consultants.
	They're behind them and say, no, no, no, don't say that.
	You sound like a complete idiot if you say that.
	They pre-planned it.
	They were based a year and a half out.
	They're doing it today on the European elections.
	And here's the other thing that needs to come up.
	They try all messages.
	You know, we've been very focused on, you know, our presidential election.
	The Republicans, you know, tend to come up.
	But the Democrats, they were there too.
	They were with Bernie Sanders supporters trying to influence them in different directions.
	So they play all.
	A rare moment of clarity during the hearing, by the way.
	A rare moment.
	Trying to influence them in different directions.
	So they play all sides.
	Much like I learned in infantry school about how they use artillery.
	They fire artillery everywhere, and once they get a break in the wall, that's where they swarm in and they focus.
	Again, taking cyber realm into death and destruction by firing live ammo, kinetic warfare versus cyber warfare is not appropriate, sir.
	They do that very well today.
	You'll see them in Europe supporting people on the left or right, whichever will dismantle the democratic function that they're after.
	So I think the important point moving forward is we have to educate our public and even our institutions.
	And the mainstream media is right to be taking some on the chin right now.
	They've fallen for a lot of these fake news stories.
	They've amplified it and they've not gone back.
	They broke most of them!
	They are the bots.
	We've done good fact-checking.
	The media needs to improve.
	Our U.S. government institutions need to improve.
	And we've got to help Americans understand what the facts are.
	Because if we don't, we are lost.
	We will become two separate, maybe three separate worlds in the United States.
	Just because of this little pinprick that was put in by a foreign country.
	I think that was Watts again.
	Well, there's a number of problems he's got.
	First of all, if you're going to start making these accusations, why don't you show some real-world evidence?
	Oh, I have some.
	Give us a story or two showing exactly how this works.
	Oh, well, yes, of course.
	Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat of Virginia, she has all kinds of proof.
	I think we know about the hacking and the selective leaking of information.
	But this former tech guy, what really concerns me is at least some reports, and we've got to get to the bottom of this, that there were upwards of a thousand paid internet trolls working out of a facility in Russia.
	Now, the thing that I like about this, this thousand internet trolls that the Russians hired, have we forgotten Hillary Clinton's techno experts?
	She confessed to having an entire, not just a whole division within the State Department, they were actively putting together summer camps.
	In Eastern Bloc country.
	To train people how to be trolls.
	To train them to be trolls.
	And we're the ones who invented this idea.
	We're the ones who do it the most.
	It's a known fact, it seems to me.
	That's what pisses me off the more.
	The more.
	The most.
	And so the Russians...
	They get the credit?
	This is what we do, baby.
	This is what we do best.
	Okay, give it to the Russians.
	I just thought of something.
	Okay, now I'm irked.
	It's going to take me a while to get over this realization.
	Do you want to talk about it?
	Come on.
	Get on my couch.
	I got a clip, and then when I was on the TV, I was like, oh man, this is fantastic.
	And then I realized that I didn't clip it when I went to move them to the show.
	Wow.
	Okay, so can I continue?
	Oh, man, it's really a bad one, too.
	Oh, okay.
	I'm sorry about that.
	I'm going to have to.
	It's going to take me a while to get over it.
	Oh, I'm so sorry for you.
	Yeah, it was actually an epic fail.
	We pay internet trolls working out of a facility in Russia.
	In effect, taking over a series of computers, which is then called a botnet.
	Ooh, a series of computers, it's called a botnet.
	They can then generate news down to specific areas.
	They can generate news down to...
	This is the Tubes guy.
	It's not, but they can generate news down to specific areas.
	Wow.
	It's been reported to me, and we've got to find this out, whether they were able to affect specific areas in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, where you would not have been receiving...
	Wow!
	Did you hear that?
	Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, all Trump town, all Trump states.
	Nice.
	Nice.
	Wisconsin, very nice.
	Whoever your vendor might have been, Trump versus Clinton during the waning days of the election.
	But instead, Clinton is sick, or Clinton is taking money from some source.
	Fake news.
	We've also seen as well...
	What's he talking about?
	He's just talking about lies.
	Don't worry.
	If you think about, if you look, just for example, if you Google election hacking during the period leading up to the election and immediate afterwards, you wouldn't get Fox or ABC or New York Times.
	What you get is four out of the first five News stories that popped up were Russian propaganda.
	RT News, Sputnik, others.
	And again, let's be clear.
	I'm not here to re-litigate the election.
	I believe that to be patently false, by the way.
	I Google a lot.
	I did a lot of searching during the election.
	Yeah, I do too.
	And I do not believe that the SEO was so strong of Sputnik that they popped.
	I never see Sputnik at the top of the road.
	I'll tell you my experience.
	I caught Sputnik on a retweet.
	And start following it.
	And Sputnik has a lot of funny stuff.
	I have never, ever run into Sputnik on any search whatsoever that I can recall.
	Ever.
	So what's he talking about?
	Bull crap.
	And again, let's be clear.
	I'm not here to relitigate the election.
	But the fact we have, I believe, part of our responsibility as well is to put the American public on a higher level of alert to Okay, it's huge, huge threat.
	That was his message.
	Huge, huge threat for basic democracy.
	They can generate news right down to the local level.
	They're fabulous.
	These Russians, they've got it all figured out.
	The biggest shill, and they had to bring some douchebag in from London.
	Professor of the Department of War Studies, King's College, London, Thomas Ridd.
	And he has his own views, and I guess the empirical evidence to back it up, about Guccifer 2.0.
	Now what do we recall about Guccifer 2.0?
	Is this a Russian or Romanian?
	Which one is it?
	I don't remember now.
	I remember him as a Romanian.
	Yeah.
	Doesn't mean he's not a Russian.
	Yeah.
	And one version of him, and it may have been two because it's 2.0, was arrested.
	Yeah.
	And he wasn't a Russian that I recall.
	No, he was a Romanian.
	He was Romanian, and this other guy, this other phony, this 2.0 guy, which may or may not be some part of his partnership, who knows?
	But it's assumed that under all circumstances he's a Russian.
	But why can't he...
	He's got a WordPress blog.
	Why can't...
	Hold on a second.
	Let's stop.
	We've got all these...
	Hold on a second.
	Control, can you get that?
	Yeah, we got it.
	We understand what he wants to do.
	Okay, we're ready, John.
	Go ahead.
	We've stopped.
	Now, it's...
	We've got all these intelligence agencies.
	They're recording everything.
	And it's been brought up more than a few times that NSA's got everything.
	They've got everything.
	They've got everything.
	And you've got your CIA out there poking around.
	And they hate Trump.
	And they'd love to find this Guccifer guy.
	The guy is on a WordPress blog.
	And we have all these intelligence guys crawling around looking for...
	I think it's an intelligence guy.
	I would say it's.
	Why haven't they found him and shot him?
	And that's a five, everybody.
	I think you're right.
	I think it's probably CIA than anything else.
	Well, Thomas Ridd has been brought in from the UK's Gitmo Nation GMT, someone called it the other day, which I liked.
	And don't you think it's a little suspicious that they bring this guy from England and they're creating this big scenario around this Guccifer guy and they can't catch him?
	It's like a movie, like a lousy movie.
	Tell me more about Guccifer 2.
	Is that a flesh and blood human being?
	Is it an office?
	It's a bot!
	And second question, is there any doubt that Guccifer 2 is an agent or somehow working for the Russian government?
	Christopher, too, we know this from the evidence that's available, not all of it public, but only in private sector sources, academic sources, I may say.
	Academic sources?
	Academic sources, I may say.
	I may say.
	I'm very up there.
	Academic sources, we can get it from there.
	Hold on a second.
	He's not Indian.
	Guccifer 2 is certainly not just one individual because in private interactions with journalists, we can literally see different types of humans at play.
	Some use consistently at a specific time.
	You know, lots of smileys are very informal.
	Others are more formal.
	Oh my God!
	By the way, you've already pre-gotten Clip of the Day.
	I'll take it right now.
	I'm not even done yet.
	The links, Christopher 2, to others.
	APT28, as I mentioned, as I also lay out with evidence in the written testimony, hacked 12 of the targets that were leaked, doxed on DC leaks.
	Christopher 2 provided a password that was not publicly known, provided a password to DC leaks to the smoking gun, the outlet.
	So that's a very strong forensic link there.
	Very strong forensic link.
	Oh yeah, he guessed the password.
	Maybe it was Podesta's password, which was password.
	The link, I think, the dots can be connected.
	But how about my second part of my question?
	Is Guccifer 2 an agent of the Russian government in some way, shape, or form?
	If you mean by agent and agency, a sort of organization could be a subcontractor, could be a team within an intelligence...
	Affiliated or associated with the Russian government?
	I am confident that the answer is yes, yeah.
	Yes, yeah.
	Okay.
	And then the follow-up question came where they said, what makes you so confident?
	No.
	Did that happen?
	No, of course not.
	What was the answer to the follow-up question?
	It's a scripted session, but unscripted, and I thought this was an interesting interview to watch, was Roger Stone, who appeared on the Bill Maher show.
	I miss that.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I have a couple clips.
	And let's start off with Guccifer.
	Okay, so Senator Mark Warner, who's head of the Intelligence Committee in the Senate, okay, the first thing out of his mouth the other day when he was asked about this, he said there's clearly a lot of smoke.
	And then he said an individual...
	That would be me.
	That's you.
	He said, associated with the Trump campaign, accurately predicted the release of hacked emails before it happened.
	This same individual, you, also admits to being in contact with Guccifer 2.0, who all of our intelligence agencies says Guccifer 2.0 is Russian military intelligence.
	Let's take them one by one.
	First of all, I have never said that I had advanced knowledge of the hacking of Podesta's emails.
	There's no quote from me.
	You said his time in the barrel was coming up.
	Right, and there's been over a hundred stories written from that time to Election Day about his business dealings in Russia.
	Bank deals, gas deals, and others.
	That's what I was referring to, including a long piece I wrote myself on October 13th.
	Okay, but this Guccifer...
	The inference that Guccifer, that my Twitter exchange with Guccifer constitutes...
	Well, not Twitter, direct mail.
	No, direct mail within the Twitter system.
	This is so painful to listen to.
	Now you have two guys who have a clueless...
	Well, it was direct mail!
	No, why don't you just say aim, you know, just to make it even less relevant than you already are.
	That's beyond them to get to that point.
	Okay, but it was not supposed to be public.
	But it is public because I released it.
	Not because you chose to make it public.
	I released it.
	No one else released it.
	I released it.
	I don't think that's true.
	That is absolutely true.
	I think you released it after it became public.
	I released it after it became known it existed, which could only be known.
	Okay.
	No, no.
	It could only be known if my Twitter...
	Does the audience think that's funny?
	Because they think that Bill Maher caught him in a lie, the way he set up that question.
	Does anybody understand how Twitter even works?
	And I've seen this on the news, and we've had clips of this, where one of the reporters will say, oh, and he had an exchange.
	Multiple exchanges.
	He met with Guccifer, and there's these tweets going back and forth.
	I know.
	It's ridiculous.
	It's ridiculous.
	No, no, it could only be known if my Twitter feed had been hacked.
	Okay.
	And I released it.
	It's benign.
	It's innocuous.
	Okay, but here's what Goosevers said.
	I mean, if you're going to engage in espionage, would you really do it on Twitter?
	You're really asking that with Trump in the White House?
	Okay.
	But here's what...
	Here's what Guccifer said about you.
	Apparently you and he are big fans.
	He said, I'm pleased to say, Roger Stone, you are a great man.
	But why?
	He's Romanian.
	Why are you saying that in a Russian accent?
	Please don't.
	That's a microaggression.
	Tell me if I can help you anywhere.
	It would be a great pleasure to me.
	And then he said, same day, he said, Roger Stone paying you back.
	That's very simple, because he's referring at the top of that email exchange to an article I wrote on August 5th at Breitbart, in which I argued that he is the one who hacked the DNC emails.
	You said he was a hero.
	I think he is a hero.
	I'm opposed to the deep state.
	I think they need to be exposed.
	But true or false?
	Let's play truth or dare now.
	No, let's not.
	We'll get back to that later, although there was one more anti, or really F-Russia bit that I wanted to play.
	His opening monologue of the Bill Maher show, he spoke about the new Cold War, and I thought it was in context of how much we hate Russia, worth listening to.
	I know, it's an exciting time.
	Very exciting.
	Tomorrow's April Fool's Day.
	Are you planning something?
	I love April Fool's Day.
	The day when we try to fool people by telling some outrageous lie.
	Or as Trump calls it, tweeting.
	Oh, let me tell you.
	He can try to tweet his way out of this Russia story, but this shit ain't going anywhere.
	The Cold War.
	Remember the Cold War?
	Well, it is back with one small difference.
	The old Cold War, the White House was on our side.
	If they're so afraid, why are they laughing?
	It's very odd.
	I mean, there's so many strands and smoke to this Russia connection.
	But I guess the big headline this week is Michael Flynn.
	We had him on our show.
	I don't know why he came here, but he did.
	He was the national security advisor for a hot minute.
	And he is asking for immunity to sing.
	Have you noticed this, that these jamokes that they believe that immunity is being asked either A, because he's guilty of something, or B, because he's gonna bring down Trump?
	Well, there's a couple of things going on.
	One, the immunity story itself seems to be in...
	Well, under debate, he asked for immunity, he didn't ask for immunity, he asked for immunity, some guy says yes, some guy says no.
	The whole thing about him, he hasn't even been invited.
	But I just want to say, there's two kinds of immunity.
	This is what's important, and this is what, in fact, let me play, I have it here.
	Here.
	We're jumping ahead a little bit, but it's important.
	This is CNN trying to explain this immunity thing.
	President Trump facing new questions tonight on Michael Flynn.
	Flynn is offering to testify in exchange for immunity in the growing probe of Russia meddling in the 2016 election.
	The president took the unusual step of inserting himself in an ongoing investigation, saying on Twitter...
	Mike Flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt, excuse for big election laws by media and Dems of historic proportion.
	The immunity offer for Flynn was rebuffed by the Senate Intelligence Committee.
	It all adds up to another head-spinning moment at the White House, considering what the President said about immunity last year on the campaign trail.
	If you're not guilty of a crime, what do you need immunity for?
	It was a frequent attack against his rival, Hillary Clinton.
	Did anybody ever see so many people get immunity?
	Everybody!
	After leading attacks of his own at the Republican convention...
	Yes, that's right.
	Lock her up!
	Flynn had this to say about immunity.
	When you are given immunity, that means that you've probably committed a crime.
	Okay.
	No, I stopped right there.
	No, I need to explain this.
	I want you to explain, but I want to mention that that particular clip of Flynn saying that you have to be committed a crime, everybody ran it as if it was a meme and a talking point.
	Every single show ran that clip.
	Yep.
	And what they are talking about, what Michael Flynn was talking about, Was something known as transactional immunity, not use immunity, which is what apparently was requested.
	We don't know for sure, but according to CNN, it was.
	And when Cheryl Mills and others received immunity, they received transactional immunity from the Department of Justice.
	That's very different than use immunity, which is granted to you when you're in a congressional hearing, which is very common.
	Because believe me, when I heard this, I'm like, wow, what's going on?
	Everyone thinks he's going to bring down the presidency.
	What's happening?
	So first of all, it's very common to receive use immunity in Congress in a hearing, and what that means is nothing that is said there can be used in prosecution.
	So you cannot be prosecuted based upon things you said.
	So it's a political immunity, really.
	And it does flow over into justice.
	But that's very different from immunity from the Department of Justice.
	It's two different things.
	And that CNN couldn't or wouldn't, or any of these jabronis couldn't or wouldn't pull that apart, is a disservice.
	Eh.
	Eh?
	Disservice.
	Except the whole network is a disservice.
	Well, that's true.
	CNN. I do have, thank goodness, a sane voice in the crowd.
	He's back.
	And I guess he's now allowed only on one network and one show.
	We're talking about Dr.
	Stephen Cohen, who of course is our Russian expert.
	We believe this to be a real guy.
	Wasn't he a professor emeritus of which university?
	Russian studies, I think, at Columbia.
	I believe it was Columbia, but he's also married to the woman who edits the Nation magazine, who is a complete left-wing progressive.
	He doesn't look that great anymore.
	And she hates the Russians, supposedly, or the magazine does.
	I don't know.
	There's a lot of screwiness, but we've always liked this guy because he's a...
	A straight shooter, a good analyst, and he's got the Russia thing down.
	And here he is on Tucker Carlson, who I edited out, talking about the vast Russian conspiracy.
	Do we know it's true?
	No.
	And if you listen to the hearings at the Senate today, It repeatedly was said, particularly by Senator Warner, the Democratic co-chair of the proceedings, that Russia had hijacked our democracy.
	What he means is that the Russians, at Putin's direction, had gone into the Democratic National Committee's emails, which were embarrassing to Mrs.
	Clinton, given them to WikiLeaks.
	WikiLeaks then released them to damage Mrs.
	Clinton and put Trump in the White House.
	This is a very dramatic narrative.
	And they're saying in Washington that this was an act of war.
	Let me repeat, Tucker.
	They are saying this was an act of war.
	So whether or not it's true is existential.
	Are we at war?
	I got interested in this.
	Not because it's my expertise, but because one of the things I've studied for 40 years is Russian leadership.
	I've written biographies.
	I got interested in Putin.
	I'm writing about Putin, a long piece now.
	So I looked into it to see if it made sense that Putin could have or did do such a thing.
	And I can find not one piece of factual evidence.
	The only evidence ever presented was a study hired by the Clintons, the DNC, He's talking about crowdfire now, who are the only ones who actually saw any DNC hacks.
	Hired by the Clintons, the DNC, to do an examination of their computers.
	They concluded the Russians did it.
	Their report has fallen apart.
	The question is, why the FBI decided to use that private...
	Cyber, kind of private detective, let's say, as though the New York Police Department had decided for a murderer to hire a private detective.
	Why the FBI didn't do their own investigation?
	And that's all we have.
	When Clapper, the head of whatever it's called, director of national intelligence, signed that report in January, technically he represents all 17.
	I'll bet you a dime to a nickel.
	I've never heard this.
	I'll bet you a dime to a nickel.
	That possibly is a potential phrase for the Shays.
	I think we'll be putting it in the book.
	17.
	I'll bet you a dime to a nickel.
	You couldn't get a guest on, unprepared, who could name 10 of them.
	This figure 17 is bogus.
	But the point is critical.
	The one agency...
	That could conceivably have done a forensic examination on the Democratic computers is the National Security Agency.
	We learned from Snowden, they're in your computer, mine, our e-phones.
	Our e-phones.
	I think I'm going to use that.
	They're in our e-phones, man.
	Social Security Agency.
	We learned from Snowden, they're in your computer, mine, our e-phones.
	Everybody else who signed that report said they were highly confident.
	The NSA said it was only moderately confident.
	You don't get married based on moderate confidence.
	You don't go to war with Russia.
	You don't stage this theater that's going on in Washington which could destroy a presidency.
	But there's one other thing, and let me leave you with this.
	When they admit they have no evidence, they fall back on something else, which I think is very important.
	They say Putin directed Russian propaganda at us and helped elect Trump.
	I don't know about you, Tucker, but I find that insulting because the premise they're putting out in Washington in this hearing is that the American people are zombies or lambs that'll fly, and I'm mixing my metaphors, any Judas goat anywhere Putin leads.
	Wait, what did he call it?
	A Judas goat?
	Judas Goat.
	Another phrase for the shades.
	Lambs.
	My metaphors.
	A Judas Goat.
	Anywhere Putin leads them.
	It's the premise of democracy that we're democratic citizens.
	That we have a BS detector in us, and we know how to use it.
	No.
	Sorry, Professor.
	That's where you stepped over the line.
	No.
	Well, he's thinking in the past.
	Yes, he is.
	Yes.
	In a land far, far away.
	Yeah.
	What's a Judas goat?
	I've never heard of it.
	Did Judas bring a goat?
	I don't remember what it means, but it's in the...
	I know it's in the...
	You look at it on Wikipedia, you'll find it's a very famous phrase.
	Okay.
	Consult the Book of Knowledge.
	Judas Goat is a trained goat used in general animal herding.
	The Judas Goat is trained to associate with sheep or cattle, leading them to a specific destination.
	The deathbed slaughter.
	Oh, while its own life is spared, mind you.
	Oh, of course.
	Yeah, he's a Judas.
	Judas Goat.
	Judas Goat.
	I have one quickie just to...
	To finalize it, Roger Stone took quite a beating from Bill Maher.
	He explains what's really going on.
	And you're on their side.
	I'm not on their side.
	I'm a patriotic American.
	I forgot.
	He's an asshole.
	He's basically saying, you're on the Russian side, is what he's saying.
	This is the way he treats a guest.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And you're on their side.
	How...
	I'm not on their side.
	I'm a patriotic American.
	I forgot.
	Why were you poisoned, Russ?
	It's a horrible way to treat a guest.
	Yeah, that's what he does.
	A lot of people would not like me to testify because I will put the lie to this Russian myth.
	I never had any contacts with the Russian state.
	To my knowledge, no one else in the campaign did.
	I think perhaps the Democrats could get over the fact that they spent about $2.5 billion, Trump spent about $278 million, and they lost.
	That's what this is really about.
	Well, actually they won, but yes, by the Electoral College.
	I agree.
	Let's keep that meme in play.
	What?
	Let's keep that meme in play.
	Yeah, no, actually, he lost.
	There you go.
	That was your weekend F-Russia report, everybody.
	Well, I want to go back to the beginning of the report and put the preface on it, which is the two reports that came out of CBS, which is a compendium.
	CBS is a compendium of all the propaganda put together in a package that they used to keep us all up to date.
	Oh, beautiful.
	This, of course, is the Central Intelligence Broadcasting System, yes.
	What you've heard from us There's two guys who are analysts doing this reporting.
	Here's what the pros...
	By pros, I mean the professional propagandists.
	This is their report.
	This is Russia Hacking Update, CBS. There are three parallel investigations into the Russian attempt to sway the election.
	One by the FBI, the House investigation that Major just mentioned, and another by the Senate Intelligence Committee.
	The Senate hearing today opened a window on what the Russians have been hiding, and Jeff Pegues is following that.
	This Russian propaganda on steroids was designed to poison the national conversation in America.
	Top Democrat Mark Warner and the rest of the Senate Intelligence Committee heard details today about Russia's vast information warfare campaign, which involves at least 15,000 operatives worldwide writing and spreading false news stories and conspiracy theories online.
	Witnesses said the effort goes back years and often starts with Russian-backed media.
	The ongoing campaign has targeted President Trump himself, former FBI Special Agent Clint Watts.
	I can tell you right now today, accounts tweet at President Trump during high volumes when they know he's online, and they push conspiracy theories.
	Many of the fake news stories begin with real events.
	Last...
	I can't get over that.
	Hold on a second.
	So, the way it works is you have the Russians that are ready.
	Finger on the trigger.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	15,000 operatives.
	Yes.
	15,000 Ruski operatives are sitting there with their finger on the trigger.
	The moment Trump starts to tweet...
	They tweet him because they know he will go, oh, wow, new information.
	New shit has come to light.
	Here's what's really funny about this, because we all know, if we follow the Trump thing, Trump tweets anything, there's like 10,000 responses instantly that he hasn't got time to look at any one of them.
	Of course not.
	He's not looking at these responses because, hey, why don't you go out and tweet Trump and tell him something and see what he says?
	He won't say anything.
	That'll work.
	The fake news stories begin with real events.
	Last August, during an active shooter scare at New York's JFK airport, Watts says Russian fake news writers added to the panic.
	We watched social media trolls and gray outlets pump fake stories out, which ramped up that fear.
	The Russians also tried to manipulate a protest at a U.S. military base in Turkey into a major terrorist attack and tried to sow unrest in the U.S. by inflaming protests such as Occupy Wall Street and the Black Lives Matter movement.
	What?
	but That's what I said when he said that.
	And also, where is the Black Lives Matter movement?
	What happened to it?
	It fell off the radar entirely.
	It's gone.
	Well, that's because the Russians aren't boosting them.
	Oh, okay.
	And occupy Wall Street and the Russians?
	Are you kidding me?
	Wow.
	That's pretty weird.
	The Russians also use sophisticated hacking like that of the Democratic National Committee.
	Yes.
	Password.
	Cybersecurity expert Kevin Mandia says they stole much more than what has been released on websites like WikiLeaks and Guccifer 2.0.
	This is new.
	This is the new meme.
	Oh, they stole more.
	And I think it was Warner or one of these guys said, apparently.
	Apparently.
	They only released about 1%.
	And the Russians have the other 99% of the stuff that was in the DNC server.
	Figure out the trigger, ready to release whenever it's necessary.
	...stole much more than what has been released on websites like Wikileaks and Guccifer 2.0.
	What we've seen publicly released is probably under 1% of what we'd attribute to the Russian government's dealings.
	And the hacking continues.
	Republican Senator and former presidential candidate, Marco Rubio.
	Within the last 24 hours, at 10.45 a.m.
	yesterday, a second attempt was made, again, against former members of my presidential campaign team who had access to our internal information, again, targeted from an IP address from an unknown location in Russia.
	Again, unknown.
	You have to notice that when you did the Rubio clip, it was started and ended with ridicule for the stupidity of the clip.
	CBS takes the clip as more proof.
	Yeah, let's roll it back.
	There's your two dimensions.
	Yes.
	What we've seen publicly released is probably under 1% of what we'd attribute to the Russian government's dealing.
	And the hacking continues.
	Republican senator and former presidential candidate, Marco Rubio.
	So that is not hacking.
	Within the last 24 hours, at 10.45 a.m.
	yesterday, a second attempt was made, again, against former members of my presidential campaign team who had access to our internal information, again, targeted from an IP address from an unknown location in Russia.
	Watts also told Congress the Russians may now be trying to cover their tracks.
	There have been a series of arrests in Russia of cybersecurity officials and a number of mysterious deaths.
	Around the world.
	I'm so tired of this.
	Now, you have the part two, which is kind of the one that was the real, what?
	It's like, I mean, you just heard what the setup was.
	Now all of a sudden these hackers, these 15,000 operatives are being killed one by one so they don't spill the beans on this horrible effort by the Russians.
	A trail of dead bodies is what I heard.
	A trail of dead bodies.
	Now listen to this.
	Follow the trail of dead Russians.
	There's been more dead Russians in the past three months that are tied to this investigation who have assets and banks all over the world.
	Today, Russian President Vladimir Putin denied that Moscow meddled in the election.
	Scotty stole a phrase that was made famous by the first President Bush, replying to an interviewer, read my lips, no.
	Jeff Pegues in our Washington newsroom.
	A trail of dead Russians, yeah.
	Oh, brother, this story's not getting better.
	I don't know what is.
	It's Hollywood, man.
	Someone's writing this.
	Now I'm thinking this is written.
	I mean, you get the trail of dead Russians.
	The dead Russians is the best.
	Hey, when is the Americans coming back?
	It's about time for them.
	Maybe it's a little PR on the side.
	Is it already back?
	Yeah?
	Might be.
	But it's not on CBS, so that wouldn't be one of the reasons.
	Although they probably own them.
	It's Viacom, I guess.
	Now, just one last clip that I have on this.
	Just to kind of...
	Maybe soften it a little bit.
	This is the PBS report.
	This is the PBS rundown background on the Trump investigation.
	And at least they put in the one little factoid, which I think they could leverage this a little better.
	It's one of these things I want to talk about later in the show, which is I think that the Dimension B people are going to go after Trump being a big fat guy.
	Yeah, body shaming makes nothing but sense.
	They're going to start body shaming knowing it's going to cause trouble.
	I think it will backfire, but...
	This is an example.
	This one here brings in the one factoid that the mainstream guys, the big networks, don't know what to do with, which is the factoid that Clinton and what you brought up earlier, which is Clinton had her Clintonistas, the tech experts, out there doing all the same kind of thing, although we're actually doing it.
	There's no real evidence that the Russians are doing anything.
	But we're actually doing it because that's what we do.
	And they tried to mess with the 2011 election of Putin.
	Ah!
	If you remind us, where did all this come from?
	What was the origin of Russia's interest in our elections?
	Let's start with 2011.
	That's when Hillary Clinton, then Secretary of State, spoke out criticizing Russian elections.
	Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, then We've reacted, saying that she was interfering and she was helping protesters, that she was trying to have an impact on the Russian election.
	Then we can flash forward to last summer.
	That's when the FBI became aware of hacking into the Democratic National Committee.
	Then to October, then we have a conclusion from the Director of National Intelligence that Russian officials were, in fact, trying to interfere with our election.
	And then, just this month, we heard from FBI Director Comey about their investigation, making this rare public statement.
	The FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
	And that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
	A very rare statement in the middle of an investigation.
	Bottom line, Judy, we know that our intelligence in the U.S. side has concluded that Russia tried to interfere with the election.
	And that includes now they are investigating things like trying to send fake news to particular states like Michigan and Pennsylvania.
	Wow!
	It's the same freaking talking points, except she forgot Minnesota.
	Unbelievable.
	Yes, they're so sophisticated.
	It's called geotargeting, you stupid moron.
	It's geotargeting.
	But it's got to be ads.
	How do you geotarget your blog?
	It can only be if you have an ad.
	Somebody has to come to the blog to begin with.
	You can geotarget email.
	The whole thing is bullcrap.
	It's bullcrap.
	But here's the thing that I think is a dilemma.
	The Clinton mess with the Russians in 2011 is a good reason that Putin would try to do something.
	Of course, he was pissed off about it.
	To get back at her.
	But you can't use the talking point there because you're saying, well, this is what we do all the time.
	Because then it kind of waters down your argument that these are bad people for doing what we do.
	I pulled three clips about the techno experts.
	I'm not sure what they are.
	A little listen.
	This is from the past.
	Let me see.
	This is Syria.
	This is from 2011.
	A law student tells me many female demonstrators are raped by security forces.
	A journalism student shows me the laptop he uses to transmit videos.
	He works with a team of 10 other videographers who record demonstrations with cameras hidden in their clothing.
	And they are always aware that their videos could be used against them.
	He says, we deliberately film crowds from a distance so individuals can't be recognized or arrested.
	Activists say they also use encryption software provided by the U.S. State Department that prevents the Syrian government from tracking the video source.
	Okay, then we have Newland.
	Let's see, what did Vicky have to say?
	On the support, dating back...
	I think it's almost two years now.
	There was support being when Ambassador Ford was still there and he would go out to meet with the local coordinating committees.
	The DRL was running programs that, not Syria specific, but Mideast, generally around the Middle East, in which there was some kind of tech support that was offered to Okay, then we have this.
	Let's see what this is.
	Our next question comes from our Farsi feed, at USA Dar Farsi.
	It's a two-part question from at Amin LV. Ask State, Iran is about to cut off the internet.
	What's the status of the suitcase internet?
	Oh, remember that, John?
	The suitcase internet?
	Yeah, internet in the suitcase was what it was called.
	Internet in the suitcase.
	And what is the U.S. procedure on the new threat to the U.S. Navy?
	I assume you mean, I'm an LB, the threats that the Iranian government's been making to U.S. freedom of navigation in the Straits of Hormuz.
	Okay, that's boring.
	Let me find this last one here.
	Yeah, it certainly did.
	What the American military intelligence can do is forge the watermarks or certification, if you will, of official Al-Qaeda postings.
	Because they don't want people going online and pretending to be them.
	But, you know, American cyber technology is so advanced that they can have a near perfect recreation of an Al-Qaeda message.
	Or of a Russian hacking attempt.
	And what they're doing from time to time is going on to jihadi websites and posting conflicting and contradicts.
	All right, so you get the idea.
	Yeah, we're the ones who do all this stuff, including the Russian thing, I'm sure.
	I think I'll play this at the end of the show.
	Let me see.
	I have this group of young, you know, techno experts.
	Yeah!
	Techno experts, remember that?
	She had her whole...
	Oh, yeah, that's a good one.
	Yeah, okay, we'll play it.
	Well, yeah, and you should remember the Internet in the Suitcase was...
	I would say, I don't know how many terabytes they were using, but they were running an appliance.
	It's more or less like the YouTube appliance that people, ISPs, put on their...
	Netflix appliance.
	It's a box.
	A Netflix appliance.
	YouTube has one.
	Netflix has one.
	It's a proxy, a buffer, a cache.
	It's a huge cache.
	Yeah.
	Bigly.
	They have one over here at Sonic.
	Sonic's got one.
	I talked to Dane about it, and he's some, I don't know, X number of terabytes, and it's all the most popular.
	Yeah, the popular movies that they stream right away, of course.
	Yeah, so boom, you go right there.
	Can I do the rest of the PBS clip here?
	Because you've got another 40 seconds.
	Yeah, play it.
	Might be fun.
	Things like trying to send fake news to particular states like Michigan and Pennsylvania.
	The biggest question now seems to be, were any Trump associates, any Trump campaign officials involved?
	Did they know about this?
	Did they collude with Russia at all?
	And John, what is known about any links, any connections between Trump, Trump's campaign, and Russian officials?
	It is a spiderweb, Judy.
	You've got campaign officials who either You know, they still haven't gotten Carter Page.
	He's mentioned everywhere, but no one has come out with anything.
	I don't even know who the guy is.
	I still don't know who the guy is.
	His name keeps cropping up.
	Oh, he's a campaign advisor.
	What did he advise on what kind of cola to buy?
	Now, I think, you know, RC Cola is actually better.
	I mean, just beyond me.
	Oh, but maybe he was the coordinator with the Russians.
	That would be it.
	The guy seems like a dimwit.
	Yeah.
	Well, then I should probably just get into a little bit of my beat here for a moment.
	It takes us into our next segment.
	This is from The View.
	That's not going to work when they check their pocketbooks, when they have to pay for stuff, when their health care costs go up or down.
	The test of President Trump is going to be whether his policy helps people or not.
	And if it does not, then people are going to vote him out.
	Well, it's going to take a while before that kicks in.
	Right, that hasn't kicked in.
	And by that time, God knows what he'll do.
	And if God doesn't know, maybe our sponsors do.
	We'll be right back.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	There's only one person above God.
	It's the sponsors.
	They rule everything, and you bow to them.
	Yes.
	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 commercial-free.
	Dvorak.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	And...
	In the morning, all the boots on the ground, feeding the air subs in the water, all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning, everybody in the chatroom, noagendastream.com.
	Good to see you all there.
	Ready and rolling.
	And...
	Yeah, it's very good.
	Good to see you all.
	And...
	In the morning to...
	Our artist for episode 9 or 1-6.
	Title of That Was Person Friend.
	And we want to thank...
	Booty Rooter for the artwork.
	Very dubious...
	Booty rooter.
	I've never heard such a thing.
	Noagentartgenerator.com.
	And this was the missiles with the big for sale tag on it.
	The rockets, which is funny.
	Because, of course, that should be on our American flag, really.
	That's what I was thinking.
	That's what we do.
	Noagentartgenerator.com.
	We appreciate all the work that everyone puts together.
	And we choose one right after the show, but we also choose them for pre-stream and for newsletters.
	So definitely keep uploading.
	And we'd like to thank our executive and associate executive producers at this time.
	Yeah.
	Well, let's see what we got here.
	Starting off with our top guy is David Wilson from Springshire, Queensland, Australia.
	So the top executive producer at $333.33 is actually an Aussie.
	Yes.
	I find that to be interesting.
	It's my 33rd birthday today, April Fool's Day, which is the day that the thing came in.
	It was yesterday.
	So I thought it'd be...
	Actually, he probably came in earlier than that because Australia's date is like April 7th now, I think.
	They're doing Cinco de Mayo.
	I think today is Sango de Mayo in Australia.
	So I thought it'd be a good idea to treat myself to a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	There you go, de-douched.
	And an executive producership.
	I first heard about your show on another top-notch podcast, Sovereign Tech.
	S-O-V-R-Y-N. I'll spell that out for people.
	Since then, you've saved me, man.
	Hey, man.
	It was my pleasure, man.
	Hey, man.
	Hey, man.
	So let's give him a karma.
	You've got karma.
	And right, that's our only executive producer curious.
	That's it?
	Oh, wow.
	It's funny.
	Even the checks, there was no, like, big checks.
	They were all...
	It was a weird, very weird day.
	We didn't get a lot of birthday donations, which is what we solicited.
	Yeah, I think that's what everyone did.
	And rightly so.
	Hey, did you get my gift?
	It didn't come yet.
	Oh, no, it came.
	It was, okay, here, let me tell you the problem here.
	My post office, except for the boxes, is closed on Saturday.
	Oh.
	So I went in there and I got a notice that there's something that somebody sent me.
	Something big.
	Well, something big wouldn't fit in the big box.
	I have a big box, but it's not that big.
	That's what she said.
	Exactly.
	Sir Craig Cutner in Norwalk, Connecticut.
	So in other words, no.
	Sir Craig Cutner in Norwalk, Connecticut, $265.66.
	Baronet Craig here, making up my own numerology, wishing JCD a happy birthday.
	It's 25666, huh?
	And throwing in an extra penny.
	Ah, so it'd be 26565.
	Throwing in an extra penny, celebrating outstanding shows and an outstanding JCD career with many more years to come.
	Yes, of course.
	Although I would like the peerage committee to review the recent territorial grants to baronets, I aspire to be a protectorate, but thought I had to wait, alas, plant a flag in northeast Georgia, and if the bridge holds up, I'll claim it someday as a full baron.
	If the bridge holds up.
	That's the bridge.
	Yeah, I know.
	The bridge is not good in Georgia.
	Bridges are falling.
	Perhaps you can separate the universe and do the A show on Sunday and the B show on Thursdays so as not to cross the streams.
	Wow, don't cross the streams.
	That's an interesting idea.
	No.
	Well, we could do a B-show, but it's better if you just tune in to Sirius XM. Channel 127 Progressive.
	Channel 127.
	There's the B-show.
	You can just go there and love it.
	Keeping my notes short, as I hope this is a long list of Will.
	Wishers73s from KB1YYE. Oh, Baronet Craig73s, Keto5AlphaCharlieCharlie.
	And he has a couple things here.
	What does he have here?
	Atlas Shrug.
	Can you believe that juice?
	LGY and Karma.
	Okay.
	Atlas Shrug.
	By Ayn Rand.
	Oh my gosh!
	Can you see that juice?
	Wow!
	You've got Karma.
	And our second associate executive producer, and our last, by the way, Sir Dave Fugazorato.
	Fugazorato.
	Fugazorato.
	Gladstone, Missouri.
	265.
	Here's 265, a celebration of John C., where the C stands for curmudgeon Dvorak's 265th birthday.
	200 years early.
	Please apply it to his current birthday so we may celebrate today.
	He is truly a national treasure.
	Yes, I agree.
	I agree.
	You've been killing it of late.
	You two have been killing it late, and I've successfully propagated the formula at work, not calling anyone out as a douchebag just yet.
	However, I did have an interesting discussion with an acquaintance who passed through a couple of days ago.
	He has worked in a number of the lettered agencies in the past few years, and I took the opportunity to ask him if he thought there was some rivalry or feud between the CIA and NSA. While he neither confirmed nor denied this, he did emphatically state that the CIA guys were douchebags.
	Douchebag!
	He really enjoyed working with the NSA, saying that they had great customer service.
	Hi, let me get my headset on for a second.
	I'm sorry.
	Hey, hi, it's Becky from the National Security Agency.
	Yes, well, we've unmasked you.
	you're good to go.
	Saying they had great customer service.
	Thought you'd be interested in this anecdote.
	The donation pushes me over the threshold for Barron.
	If it's available, I'd like to claim the greater Kansas City as my protectorate and pledge my fealty to our illustrious Grand Duke, Sir David Foley.
	I'm sure he'll be fine with that.
	I would love to hear some new manning and get a touch of karma and humbly request a Dylanesque title change jingle for the ceremony.
	An idea for one of the holiday specials, not that 200.9 wouldn't be welcome.
	That's interesting someone would say that.
	We haven't done a 200.9.
	I love the end of the show mixes and imagine that by now you've got hours of them compiled.
	How about dropping a mix?
	Dropping.
	A mixtape.
	The next time, in quotes, of course, the next time you guys need a holiday.
	This is, by the way, something we've discussed and we do plan to do.
	Yes.
	Sir Dave Fugizotto, soon to be Baron of the Greater Kansas City.
	Does he want anything here?
	Didn't he say something up there higher up?
	Let me see.
	Oh, we'd love to hear some new Manning and get a touch of karma.
	And the Dylan S. title.
	Okay, we got it.
	That's a Shona money shot!
	Woo!
	Jesus!
	Woo!
	Look at that!
	That's a money shot!
	Kenan Conway is a money shot!
	You've got karma.
	Kurt nailed it.
	Alright, I put him on the list.
	He wasn't on the list for his title change, so we'll do that and we'll get you the Dylan S. title change.
	And that concludes our very short list of one executive producer, two associate executive producers, leaving me some time to bring you a new version of our plea to help us for our next show, which of course is coming up on Thursday.
	You can support us at Dvorak.org slash NA. In Gitmo Nation, I am a slave.
	I'm losing sleep.
	But there's no face to face, no media spokes holds.
	With John and Adam, their vigils keep.
	I'm going there with Adam Green.
	I'm going there to make it rain.
	Oh, no agenda in the morning.
	Dvorak.org.
	Slash any.
	Oh, man.
	man.
	We have the best producers in the universe.
	That was good.
	Abel Kirby.
	Thank you very much, Abel.
	That was great.
	It's long.
	It's too long.
	I won't do it every donation segment.
	In fact, probably just to make everyone feel good, I do want to remind you about that show come up on Thursday.
	And our formula!
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Hey, citizens.
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up, slave!
	All righty.
	That's how it works.
	That is true interactive radio.
	It's exactly correct.
	Hey, I had some PR mentions.
	I'm sorry, I forgot to...
	We have a New York City meetup planned for Tuesday, April 25th at 6.30pm.
	This is organized by Dame Tanya, Viscountess of New York City.
	Celebrity chef Rob McHugh, of course.
	John, you remember him from the birthday meetup in New York City last April.
	Yeah, Rob.
	Would love to welcome any and all No Agenda producers to his new gastropub, The Fat Monk, to chat, eat, and drink with other producers or fans of the podcast.
	Chef Rob is planning a whimsical No Agenda-themed menu, including the Dvorak Ant Taco.
	Thanks, Rob.
	And there's a direct link in the show notes under the PR section.
	What's the date?
	April 25th, 6.30pm, New York City.
	And thank you very much, producer Nick Hampshire.
	My dear sir, he says, please accept this humble submission until our current administration fixes their RSS feeds.
	And he created RSS feeds of the whitehouse.gov website for me.
	For everybody, really.
	Which is fantastic.
	Put them in the show notes.
	It's in the show notes, of course.
	Dynamite.
	I mean, this is, yeah.
	We're doing the work.
	We're doing patriotic work here.
	Yeah.
	And that's how I can tell you the following.
	And maybe those boneheads in the White House can take a look at this and just say, oh, why don't we do this?
	Why don't we just take this?
	Exactly.
	That's what they should do.
	That's what they should do.
	It's like the see something, say something.
	We offered it to the government.
	Royalty free.
	If you see something, say something.
	I have to say something about that in a minute.
	But first let me tell you the four proclamations of interest.
	Of note, April is a very important month of 2017.
	And the way these proclamations work is they're usually set up for some political agenda.
	So it is cancer control month.
	The creativity and commitment of America's incredible medical research and healthcare communities have made the United States the biomedical innovation capital of the world.
	In particular, American innovators have made groundbreaking advances in cancer research.
	These innovations help drive the declining rates of cancer mortality, more work to be done, blah-de-blah-de-blah.
	Okay?
	Then we also have National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
	That means maybe we'll be getting some pedo bears.
	As we observe National Child Abuse Prevention Month, we renew our commitment to stop child abuse before it begins.
	Okay.
	Then we have National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month.
	There's a lot of sexual stuff going on here.
	Yes, sexy month.
	According to the Department of Justice, the President writes, on average there are more than 300,000 instances of rape or other sexual assault that afflict our neighbors and loved ones every year.
	Behind those painful statistics are real people.
	Yes, okay.
	So we got that.
	And then finally, and this is an interesting one, National Financial Capability Month.
	I can't wait to see what's going to come out relating to this.
	What does that even mean?
	Well, it's a proclamation.
	You can balance a checkbook.
	The ability of Americans to plan, save, and invest is vital to their building wealth and pursuing the American dream.
	One of my first actions as president was to issue an executive order entitled Core Principles for Regulating the United States Financial System, and its first core principle is that financial regulation should empower Americans to make independent financial decisions and inform choices in the marketplace that Save for retirement.
	Oh, this is a build-up.
	This is a build-up.
	Hey, you've got to save yourself because you're not going to have any government safety.
	I think you might be right, but it's not going to work.
	And just getting back to the if you see something, say something for a moment.
	There is a podcast.
	Let me see if I can find this now.
	There...
	Here it is.
	It's called the...
	The Whale Vomit podcast.
	Sounds right.
	In the UK. A bunch of millennials.
	And they were actually talking about the See Something, Say Something, and how crazy it is that people see that as George Orwell 1984-esque.
	This is very important.
	This is how the millennials in the UK apparently are thinking.
	I mean, it's very juvenile to, I think, bring up Orwell, but when you're that heavy-handed about it, like...
	You're not even trying.
	Because everyone's read Orwell here, I can only read it as deliberate.
	Yeah, it has to be, right?
	And they're like, actually, what if it was good?
	I mean, there was an interesting article in Full Stop magazine recently, basically exploring the thesis.
	Actually, the Society in 1984 is fine.
	Like, the only people who don't like it are, like, it's a couple of, like, kind of, you know, like, essentially petty bourgeois out-of-party bureaucrats who are disgusted by the proletarians who are genuinely benefiting from this society, and, you know, they want freedom and art, and they want to feel things deeply, and it's the same old boring petty bourgeois complaint that's existed throughout history, except this time, in 1984, what they do is they take these idiot romantics and then they shoot them in the back of the head, which is correct.
	What?!
	Yes.
	Yeah, this is trickling over.
	The meme is bourgeois or bougie.
	Bougie is what they say.
	Bougie is not a new term.
	It was in the 60s.
	They used it quite a bit.
	Sure, but it's now back.
	The millennials are using it.
	It's bougie.
	It's bougie.
	That's the term.
	That's really bougie.
	This thinking hasn't cropped up over here that I can see.
	What, the bougie stuff?
	Right.
	Oh, it's all over Austin.
	Well...
	Well, because Austin is the epitome of bougie.
	Yeah.
	So they shoot him in the back of the head?
	What is this guy thinking?
	These people are nuts.
	That is really a bad clip.
	I'm sorry.
	Well, I'll do you one worse.
	This is Shelly Harridan, a YouTuber.
	And when I saw this clip, it's under a minute, so we'll listen to the clip first.
	I realized all of a sudden something that I think is important that is going on here.
	Shelly identifies as a girl, is wearing a kind of a Swedish...
	Like, no, Pippi Longstocking, although not red, but blonde, you know, with braids.
	Long blonde braids.
	Shelly, I think Shelly's gender may be female, but I'm pretty sure Shelly's sex is male.
	And this is about the safety pin movement.
	Hi, kids.
	It's me, Shelly Carradine.
	And you might be wondering, why do I have the safety pins on today?
	Mm-hmm.
	Well there's a really important movement going on right now.
	Ever since Donald Trump became elected, we started the safety pin movement.
	We have on safety pins today to teach people that it's okay to be a woman, a person of color, a trans, all other types of people.
	so you may have seen your classmates in the hallways with safety pins on and that's just what it means it means that they are LGBT inclusive they're not racist or sexist so you can feel comfortable coming forward to those kids so it's a short one today but I just wanted to make you guys more aware of the safety pin movement and what it means to me so I'll see you guys later alrighty
	It dawned on me what may be going on here.
	This is clearly a white young man.
	And when you hear the safety pin movement, people of color, trans, lesbian, everything but a white guy, there's a distinct possibility that young white men are in school thinking, crap, I'm the enemy.
	Maybe I should be a girl.
	That's funny you say that, because I was thinking something similar, but I didn't have anything.
	It wasn't well thought out enough for me to bring it up on the show.
	But yeah, I think we may be on to something.
	And kids are impressionable.
	I mean, the message is, the messaging is pretty...
	Straightforward.
	It's like, you know, white, especially older, by the way, which would include both of us.
	Yes.
	Older white is really bad.
	Yeah, so you only have bad things to look forward to because you know you're going to grow older.
	I mean, I'm not saying that this is in everybody's case, of course, but I think it would work if you know that I feel it.
	I feel like the enemy.
	It doesn't bother me because I'm old enough.
	I don't care.
	You can hate me all you want.
	I don't give a crap at my age.
	Screw you.
	I'm learning from the best.
	But it certainly can't help, you know, if you're feeling suppressed.
	Well, I think it's encouraged.
	I don't think it's an over-defensive move.
	I think it's actually...
	Pushed.
	It's an agenda that's being pushed on people.
	Yeah, it is.
	And they get told, and that's Pavlovian, because every time they move in that direction a little more, they get more, I'm going to wear a dress today.
	Oh, that's great.
	Right?
	No, it's not great.
	It's not great.
	Tina was pretty offended, by the way, by the whole person-friend thing.
	It's like, no way are you calling me a person-friend.
	Well, good.
	I'm glad she was offended.
	One of our goals is to offend Tina.
	Yes, to offend Tina.
	That would be it.
	Oh, man.
	Hey, big news, though, John.
	Super big news.
	I got a little break.
	I want to take a little break.
	Okay.
	We didn't go to the big news, just a little entremont.
	I was watching the Today Show the other day, and I finally found a clip from the Today Show that summarized the Today Show in such a way that it was just like, that's exactly what this show is all about.
	Get ready to conga, the world's largest conga line on ice.
	A new Guinness World Record?
	We'll find out after these messages.
	The biggest conga line ever.
	Yeah, that's about it.
	Now, we recall we had the Ebola scare.
	Then it was very short-lived because everyone was supposed to die and Africa was going to just wither up and melt.
	Strangely, we could not really find any evidence of people dying of Zika except for kids walking around.
	They see the camera.
	They lie on the ground.
	Remember that?
	Oh, and the kid lies on the ground.
	It was a lot of fakery going on.
	Then, of course, it was solved.
	Yeah, I was like, oh, it looks like...
	Well, good work, everybody.
	But we had this $1.9 billion that we had promised to all these different organizations.
	A lot of it was going...
	$800 million going to the National Institute of Health.
	But there was $3 million going to the Dutch Army.
	There was just tons of money going everywhere.
	Yeah, there was all Ebola money that they couldn't recover.
	Right, yeah.
	And the UK owed half a billion...
	In fees for this, because everyone said, oh, we'll all pitch in.
	But then, of course, when it went away, it was like, well, we don't really want to give a half a billion dollars if it's over.
	No, no, no, but we have Zika!
	We got Zika!
	Zika's the problem now.
	Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
	Because, you know, well, actually, we have, we had a jingle.
	There we go.
	Yeah, the Zika.
	Oh, Zika.
	Oh, Zika.
	Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
	A little baby with a little bitty head.
	With a baby with a small head.
	They're going to have to make a little head.
	You watch.
	Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
	Yeah.
	Where's the money?
	1.9 billion dollars.
	Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
	Yeah.
	Where's the money?
	Let's have it now.
	Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
	So that was what they came up with.
	Oh, Zika, microcephaly.
	And of course, we did have, I think, one example of a small head in Florida.
	But NPR tells us, hmm...
	Didn't turn out the way we expected.
	In 2015, Brazil had a massive outbreak of Zika, and with it came a surge in birth defects.
	Thousands of babies were born with very small heads or microcephaly.
	So when Brazil had another outbreak of Zika in 2016, scientists expected another surge in microcephaly.
	But Chris Dye at the World Health Organization says that never happened.
	We predicted over a thousand cases of microcephaly, when in fact we had less than a hundred.
	I mean, the difference between 2015 and 2016 is actually quite dramatic, isn't it?
	It's spectacular.
	So this is a huge, huge discrepancy.
	Dinah's colleagues say in the New England Journal of Medicine that it's unclear why.
	But one possibility is that researchers overestimated the number of Zika cases in Brazil last year.
	That the virus wasn't as big of a problem as they thought.
	But how can you argue science?
	So microcephaly wasn't as bad.
	That's what Di thinks.
	But Albert Koh at Yale University says there's another possibility.
	Zika may not be working alone.
	Instead, another infection may make Zika worse and increase the risk of microcephaly.
	In particular, Koh is concerned about a virus called dengue, which is common in Brazil.
	Really?
	We're going back to dengue fever now?
	Oh, get ready for your vaccines.
	This exposure to dengue may actually enhance or promote the risk of birth defects.
	Coe is investigating this possibility right now.
	And if it turns out to be true, then the global threat posed by Zika might be less dire.
	Is that 10 times what you normally get?
	It's about 10 times what we normally get.
	Yeah.
	Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
	And of course, they will not even bring into the conversation.
	Pesticides.
	No.
	Which was associated with the microencephaly that first time around.
	I believe some of those pesticides that were blamed, if they were considered as a possibility, they would have been pulled and a different pesticide may have been used or none.
	And so the cases go way down.
	But why don't they even mention this as a possibility?
	The likelihood of a birth defect from some screwball pesticide that's not well controlled seems a lot more likely than a disease that's been around forever.
	Well, I'm just looking through the clips that we've done over the past years about Zika.
	And, I mean, we were talking about this kind of stuff.
	Well, there's some new troubling information on the Zika virus.
	Reuters reports Brazil's government health institute found active Zika virus in saliva and urine samples.
	More on this from Sanjay Gupta.
	Worrying, isn't it?
	Well, we knew that this could be in bodily fluids other than blood.
	That's been shown because it's been sexually transmitted.
	Now, remember that?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, sexually transmitted disease now.
	You guys are all full of crap.
	And here's proof.
	Well, get your stories straight.
	Yeah, the No Agenda show doesn't forget.
	We're like elephants.
	Well, we have a big library.
	Yeah, we do.
	It's just, you know, will anyone say, oh, well, that was a big scam?
	No, of course not.
	But it was.
	It was.
	We started with these scam diseases with the swine flu.
	And curiously, here's what's interesting.
	So I was doing some research and there's a...
	Let me just dig through the pile.
	Swine flu is really a problem right now and it's not...
	March 22nd.
	Actually, it started in 2015, and there's been all these H1N1 mutating in India, for example.
	According to researchers at National Institute of Technology, samples of H1N1 swine flu strain currently savaging India indicate that the strain may have mutated and become more infectious and dangerous.
	This thing holds 1,700 deaths, which I believe is more than Ebola produced.
	Oh, totally.
	It goes on.
	And this is not just India, but some other parts.
	I see here's another one.
	Disease.
	Oh yeah, here it is.
	This is in July 12, 2016.
	Disease daily.
	Over 1,000 deaths.
	This is just a couple months ago.
	H1N1 outbreak in Brazil.
	As of July 21st, there's 1,233 deaths linked.
	The thing is you can't create new marketing materials because we already did all of that for this disease.
	And so there's no money to be made by resurrecting it.
	We already have all the promotional materials.
	We're not going to get paid to make new ones.
	That would be what they'd be saying in the boardrooms.
	Yes.
	St.
	Louis University predicts as of March 28th, St.
	Louis will be a Zika hotspot.
	Are they looking for some federal money?
	What are they doing?
	No, it's not spreading.
	St.
	Louis.
	And North Korea, according to The Independent, accuses the United States of spreading Ebola and choosing Africa as a bioweapon testing ground.
	That's probably more likely than the real story.
	That story is, which of course has gone around for a while, and we discussed this possibility and showed during that Ebola moment.
	And it's believed by the same people that would push that out there that the Ebola was developed at that same laboratory in Bethesda.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
	That's where AIDS was developed.
	Yep.
	And there's similarities between the two diseases.
	And the idea was, because this all...
	I'm just rebriefing everybody.
	The idea was that back in the 1970s, and there's plenty of documentation to find this information out.
	In the 70s, during the Ehrlich population bomb, we're all going to die by the year 2000 because there's too many people.
	We can't feed them all.
	So we have to kill them.
	And so there was all these ways to kill them.
	There's all these ways to kill them.
	And if you look back at the literature in the 70s, Africa was seen as one of the big problems because they were reproducing way too fast in Africa.
	And we had to do something about it.
	That's why we gave them AIDS virus.
	So we gave them AIDS and Ebola to kill them off.
	It's a double tap.
	That is the basic thesis of this sort of thinking.
	Yeah, I want to make sure it works.
	But it didn't.
	No, of course not.
	The White House today will become the Blue House to mark World Autism Awareness Day.
	Sweaty Sean said the president is keeping a promise by doing this to the late wife of his friend Bob Wright.
	He said he would illuminate the White House in blue if he won the election.
	Bob Wright's wife Suzanne founded the advocacy group Autism Speaks in 2005.
	The organization uses the color blue in its logo.
	She died in 2016.
	And, of course, ABC News...
	I don't have a clip, sadly, but they came right out immediately and said, well...
	Very nice that the White House will participate in World Autism Day on Sunday by shining a blue light on the building.
	This tribute, however, is a stark reminder that President Trump is the source of considerable misinformation about autism.
	Trump has said that vaccines cause autism.
	And there you go.
	We're off to the races.
	And we're off to the races.
	Yeah, we're off to the races, of course.
	Because it's crazy.
	Just crazy.
	We're all nutso.
	Yeah.
	Now, here's a good clip.
	This is the, because I think that the Dimension B is definitely thinking they're going to find something with this Russian thing, and Trump's going to get impeached.
	Maxine Waters is big on this, of course.
	She's pushing it the most.
	And Rob Reiner.
	Don't tell me you have a Maxine Waters clip.
	No, I wish.
	I have a Rob Reiner clip.
	Okay, well, get the Rob Reiner clip after you play this.
	I just want to put this down as a salvo to let Pence know that he is important and a good guy.
	He's a good guy, even though he's a dominionist, but they don't want to talk about that.
	But he's a good guy, and he'd be a really good president because just listen to this Pence clip on the Today Show.
	Okay.
	But it isn't just any trending.
	Because we got Craig, we got Dylan Dreyer, and Maria Schreiner!
	Nice!
	Lots to talk about.
	We got a good talker at the top here.
	The Washington Post did a profile piece on Karen Pence, the vice president's wife, and it really started a great discussion in our newsroom.
	In the article, we learned that Mike Pence has a policy.
	You know, he and his wife have been married for years now.
	Here's his own personal policy.
	He says he doesn't dine alone with a woman unless his wife is there.
	And I got a lot of us talking in the newsroom, you know, is that, what do you think of that policy?
	Do you think that's a wise policy?
	Sounds like an old school policy that Mike Pence would be on board with.
	I think it makes some sense.
	It's like, I don't know if, I don't think I would ask my husband to have that policy, but I think it's like, probably wise.
	I don't know.
	I'm not sure.
	But why?
	Why wouldn't you have dinner with...
	I mean, I think from his point of view, the easiest way to resist temptation is to avoid it.
	Not to say that if I spread...
	You know, I'm not...
	That's just because we can't be just friends.
	It goes back to that whole thing.
	You know what?
	We're not going to have dinner.
	We're not going to have dinner.
	Yes, exactly.
	We're done.
	We're having dinner.
	We're having dinner.
	I'd like them to come.
	You can see it making a wife uncomfortable.
	Yeah, if he's...
	Out to eat with another woman?
	What if the wife knows the woman?
	Then it's okay!
	I don't come down either side of it, but I do think it's interesting.
	I had a friend whose father told him when he got married, you know, I'm going to give you a piece of advice.
	Don't get yourself in that situation.
	Don't let yourself even get in a situation where you're tempted and you'll be in good shape.
	I think that's what's behind that.
	Yeah, I found this to be an interesting...
	It sounds like a hen house.
	Yes.
	It's an interesting revelation.
	Actually, I have a Colbert monologue clip about this.
	Hey, can we take a break?
	Can we take a break from Trump, please?
	Can we do that?
	Let's just do that.
	We can do that.
	Let's talk about someone who has no power in Washington, Mike Pence.
	The Washington Post just did a profile of Mike and Mrs.
	Mike, and they have, evidently, a pretty solid thing going on.
	Because Pence never eats alone with a woman other than his wife.
	That can only mean one thing.
	Mike Pence is such an out-of-control, force-five bonacame that he has to be monitored by Karen Pence at all times.
	One Amstel Light, and he's dry-humping the breadbaskets.
	Okay?
	Oh, there's snow on the roof, but there's a fire in the furnace.
	Pence also won't attend events featuring alcohol without his wife by his side.
	He is so naughty, if you left him alone with a bottle of whiskey, he might try to have sex with it.
	And Jim Beam and Jack Daniels are both dudes.
	And he's not into that scene.
	Alright?
	He has to pray away the Mount Gay.
	Here's the thing that I don't understand.
	Why is it okay to mock...
	This obviously has religious tendencies and background.
	Why is it okay to mock that?
	But when certain Muslim women are forced to cover up, and certainly alcohol is foreboding, then it's all, we have to respect Islam.
	We have to respect it.
	I don't understand.
	This is a huge double standard.
	It's outrageous.
	And Colbert is just out of control with that little bit.
	Does he have any ratings?
	Does anyone watch him?
	Yes.
	Oh, really?
	This is the problem.
	The problem.
	The machine.
	When he started doing Trump trashing, which is pretty much all he does, even with his guests, his ratings skyrocketed to number one.
	Oh, wow.
	Wow.
	Yes.
	Damn.
	I mean, it's all Dimension B people and the curious.
	Yeah, of course.
	But there, you know, many of them like to watch Late Night and he's been beating Fallon.
	Yeah, that's unbelievable.
	Wow.
	Fallon must be beside himself.
	Fallon is very...
	And Fallon, I think, is...
	Fallon and Kimmel both are very...
	They do enough Trump bashing.
	They do a joke or two.
	But it's not just non-stop...
	And that's what, I guess, the audience, the late night audience, is looking for.
	Because they've all moved over to Colbert, so he's feeling his oats.
	Well, Tavis Smiley, over there on the PBS, he had the Reiners on, both Rob and Carl.
	That's a double trouble, two barrels.
	And you want to hear some Dimension B? Oh, yeah.
	That's all Dimension B. So what do you make of the art of the deal that he did last week on healthcare?
	Beautiful, huh?
	Smooth as glass.
	Just worked out perfectly.
	He's working very hard now to take away everything from poor people.
	Oh, yeah.
	So that rich people can get a tax break.
	Yeah.
	That's very good.
	This is the most scary time in our country in terms of leadership.
	We have a person who is clearly mentally unstable, who has no understanding of government or policy, has no desire to know about it, is an egomaniac and is a pathological liar.
	Bingo, boom, shakalaka.
	I mean, it's really scary to what's happening in this country.
	And to go from having the smartest President we've had since way back to this guy.
	It's like crazy.
	It is crazy.
	It's nuts.
	I mean, I feel so sorry.
	Obama, I can't believe how he must feel today.
	But the minute they start, you know, putting somebody like Judge Gorsuch, I'm not saying he's not qualified.
	I'm not saying he's not a great jurist or whatever.
	I don't agree with him on a lot of things.
	Whenever someone says that, and I hear this a lot, well, I don't agree with him on a lot of things.
	I tend to say, like what?
	Like what?
	But that's not right, that a president should have that right.
	That's exactly it.
	By the way, Smiley should have done that right there.
	She should have done that right there, yeah.
	What don't you agree with him on?
	Yeah, a lot of things.
	Call him out.
	A lot of things.
	A great jurist or whatever, I don't agree with him on a lot of things, but that's not right.
	He even left a breath pause.
	Smiley could have come in easily.
	A president should have that right, who could be illegitimate and also could have done things that are illegal.
	And that on top of a Congress who wouldn't give the last guy a hearing.
	That's another conversation altogether.
	And that to me is all about, I hate to say it, it's all about Obama not wanting to give him anything.
	And we were talking about this before we came on the air.
	This is like...
	Which means it wasn't supposed to be on the air, but okay.
	Before we came on the air.
	This is like all of these feelings that have been submerged for such a long time in this country have been unleashed in terms of racism.
	And all of the feelings that they had about not feeling Obama was legitimate because he wasn't born in America.
	All of that is about delegitimizing an African-American person.
	And everything that's followed from that.
	We're not going to let him have anything.
	We won't let him have anything.
	He's not a legitimate president.
	And so that's what they've done.
	And unfortunately, they're continuing.
	And how come that wasn't resolved when Romney ran?
	Yeah.
	Romney was white?
	Yeah.
	Well, he wasn't a racist.
	I'm sorry, racist.
	We wouldn't say that anymore.
	He wasn't racist.
	Only Trump is racist.
	You know that.
	Don't pretend you don't know.
	Yeah, I'm sorry I missed that.
	No, I'm sorry.
	I'm glad I missed it.
	Yeah, you should be glad.
	You know, Smiley has put himself in kind of a bind because he can't really be anything other than anti-Trump.
	He has to be on board, yeah.
	Yeah, because he's a Hollywood celebrity, pretty much.
	I didn't go do Larry King.
	But he's just a hard-line Democrat from the get-go.
	Is Roosevelt running for a fifth term?
	Vote him in!
	Here's a little outside piece of information.
	This clip is cosmetic surgery in China.
	Thank you for joining us.
	Thank you.
	Now, you work at the front line.
	What do you see as the reason behind this boom in plastic surgery?
	And when patients see you, what do they seek the most?
	I think there are two main reasons.
	The first one is that we all know that Chinese people are living a better life currently.
	So when the basic life...
	Demand has been satisfied.
	They would love to look younger and look better and live a better life.
	And that's the main reason.
	And they can afford that.
	And the second reason, I think, is due to the huge, huge competition pressure nowadays in the job market.
	There are more and more college graduates who came to my clinic and said that they are so competitive to get a job position.
	So look for the cosmetic procedures to make themselves.
	Do they feel like being more attractive makes them more competitive?
	Yeah, they feel more confident.
	And then from the report we mentioned earlier, we see that there's little or no regard for regulations.
	Only one in 300 beauty clubs or beauty spots are licensed.
	I mean, that's incredible.
	How should the government step in?
	Well, I think maybe there will be three issues that the government could help to regulate the market.
	The first one is about the certificate.
	We need the certification of all the cosmetic surgeons, actually.
	As you mentioned, they use only five days to train the people who didn't have any medical background to be the cosmetic surgeons.
	That's, you know, it's ridiculous.
	So, apparently, the Chinese, once they get some money, the first thing they're going for, especially the new college grads, you have to imagine that, I mean, in our country...
	We do have a lot of women getting breast implants.
	We have men getting breast implants.
	Well, there's that.
	And it's a booming business, there's no doubt about it, but it's odd that the Chinese, and the thing is only 0.3% of all the cosmetic surgeons in China, which is less than 1%, have any medical training.
	They're just tacking people left and right.
	Boom!
	I'm listening to more Chinese news, and the stuff I'm getting is all this crazy stuff.
	It's like that, and the Chinese are doing to Serbia what they did to Africa, which is another thing going on.
	It's not discussed much.
	The thing is, I can't get many good clips.
	I don't always have to get clips.
	I do learn a lot.
	I learned about new emails from the CDC, the Center for Disease Control, reveal that the CDC suspected the origin of the cholera outbreak in Haiti came from the UN peacekeepers.
	But what's more troubling is that they knew this before it was even reported.
	And it appears that the Clintons were complicit in covering this news up.
	The cholera outbreak occurred less than a year after Haiti was devastated by a massive earthquake that killed over 100,000 people.
	The United States was already deeply involved in Haiti, I'm reading from the Observer, and funding an important election in the country, which the United States has been criticized for repeatedly.
	Yes.
	In 2011, Hillary Clinton flew to Haiti as Secretary of State and insisted that the current president of Haiti step down in favor of the U.S.-backed candidates, Sweet and Mickey Martelli.
	Bill Clinton was selected to serve as Haiti's special envoy for the United Nations, and his chief of staff was initially selected to serve as Martelli's prime minister.
	Officials at the CDC cast doubt as the origin of the outbreak intentionally and refused to conduct any investigation to confirm its source.
	Meanwhile, U.N. soldiers destroyed evidence before other scientists could investigate it.
	The State Department, under control of Hillary Clinton, told Katz...
	This is...
	Who was Katz?
	That was the...
	I forgot who that was.
	The US government has not taken a position on the validity of the underlying claims in this particular case, even though they absolutely knew it.
	And there's more about Haiti and the Clintons.
	This is very odd.
	You remember Laura Silsby?
	No.
	She was the woman who took 33 children from Haiti and tried to smuggle them across the border.
	Oh, right.
	Tried to smuggle them across the border for child sex slaves.
	Yeah, she was actually incarcerated.
	Well, no.
	She was in jail and she was convicted and the sentence was time spent already in jail.
	Why?
	Because we know from the WikiLeaks emails that Clinton actively was working on her behalf to get her out of Haiti to make sure she was okay.
	There's lots of emails from Huma Abedin.
	And now, guess where she showed up?
	By the way, she's no longer known as Laura Silsby.
	She's now Laura Gallier.
	G-A-L-Y-E-R. And guess where she's working now?
	The Clinton Foundation?
	She's working at the Amber Alerts Center.
	You know, the one where children go missing?
	Yeah.
	I mean, talk about that.
	Talk about the fox in the hen house.
	Jeez.
	That's creepy.
	And, you know, there's this big meme about missing DC girls.
	Have you heard about this?
	Hashtag missing DC girls.
	Apparently there are 500 girls, mainly African-American girls, missing in Washington, DC. Yes, this is a major, major story.
	You know what?
	Although I'm totally convinced that there are all kinds of creepy pedophile, pedosexual rings at work in government with elites, I think this is a bullcrap story.
	Because what I've not seen is crying moms.
	Where are the 500 parents?
	That's what you normally put on television, somebody crying.
	Yeah.
	So, of course, what's being said, oh, cover up, they're hushing it up.
	It's another Pizzagate.
	Listen, this shit really happens.
	It really does.
	But these are distractions.
	I don't think this has legs.
	And if it's real, why not?
	I mean, why doesn't the media pick up on it?
	Nothing happens.
	Is it because it's really true?
	I don't see any YouTube videos of any parents or anything.
	You don't need to be on TV. Show me a YouTube video.
	Smart asses in the chat room.
	Yeah.
	So...
	So I guess the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
	Oh, that one guy?
	The one guy out in the middle of nowhere in his basement of a small house.
	He has a flat.
	He has a flat.
	No, no.
	They showed his house.
	Maybe he had a flat before.
	Maybe that's why they keep saying he's from London when he's not.
	I think he moved out of London then and he moved to this small house.
	And it's a dingy looking thing.
	But I guess his time is over because he's not playing ball anymore.
	Let's play these two clips.
	This is Syrian Observatory for Human Rights Open.
	Well, we should mention that the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is not based in London, as the Federal Foreign Office thinks, but in Coventry in the West Midlands.
	It's run by Abdel Rahman, who works from his house there.
	Now, that's the background.
	Now, we have a Gayana Chichakan piece.
	Gayana Chichakan.
	Chichakan.
	Gayana Chichakan.
	That's right, everybody.
	She is our star reporter for Russia Today.
	The one and only guy in chicken hot.
	Let me do some rocks for you, baby.
	All right.
	What do we have on deck here, John?
	She's going to be talking about the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and how Americans in particular, especially our top people, our top men, We're always citing them as a reason, you know, the reason these numbers are good.
	But I guess, I think he doesn't, he's not getting paid off.
	I don't know who's not giving him the money.
	Now all of a sudden, he's turning against the, they're saying, oh, the Americans blew up the mosque.
	The Americans did this, Americans did that.
	And now they're all running from this guy.
	It's very funny.
	German officials were reported to have given the coalition led by the U.S. targeting data for an airstrike which reportedly killed dozens of civilians in a town near Raqqa in Syria.
	The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claims the coalition hid a school building which was being used as a shelter for displaced families.
	It claims the strike killed over 30 civilians.
	We could not independently verify the claims.
	Shortly after the reported incident, the Pentagon said even though the coalition had carried out strikes in the area, it had, quote, no indication that an airstrike struck civilians near Raqqa as the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claims, end quote.
	Recently, U.S. officials have disputed other reports coming from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
	In a separate incident earlier in March, the observatory said the U.S. hit a mosque near Aleppo and killed mostly civilians.
	The Pentagon said it wasn't a mosque, that it was a building near a mosque where an al-Qaeda meeting was taking place.
	Until recently, U.S. officials seemed to show a lot more trust in the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights when the source reported about actions by Russian and Syrian military.
	Yes, it comes from some credible aid agencies like the World Health Organization, like Doctors Without Borders, like the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
	We are aware of all of the reporting, especially by organizations like Amnesty International, Air Wars, the Center for Civilians in Conflict, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
	And we have developed relationships with a number of these organizations, and we look forward to working with them.
	We've got to start one of those.
	I think they get paid.
	We started relationships with them.
	I think the Trump administration came in and somebody, I don't know if Trump had anything to do with it, somebody said, what are these checks for?
	I don't know.
	What do you think they're for?
	I have no idea.
	Just stop paying this.
	This is like we're throwing money away.
	And boom, all of a sudden things change.
	Working with them.
	Often referred to as a monitoring group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is run by one man, Rami Abdul Rahman, who is based in Coventry in the UK. He claims to be getting information from various sources inside Syria.
	His methods have been questioned in the past considering the Now that the monitoring group reports about actions by the U.S.-led coalition, The officials challenge its claims.
	With Germany accused of playing a role in a strike which reportedly killed civilians in Syria, we hear a German official say that the observatory sources on the ground in Syria may have their own agenda in reporting things in a certain way.
	Now, this all began with a German report that started this ball rolling that these guys are full of crap.
	Because of the way it was presented, the Germans, because they're part of the International Criminal Courts, system within the EU structure, they felt that the bombing of the mosque in this other place was a war crime.
	Again, they were involved in it.
	So they're trying to back away from these numbers, and they're following our lead and just denying that we did anything.
	And we don't really care one way or the other because we're not going to do anything.
	We don't care about the International Criminal Court, that's for sure.
	But the Germans do.
	And so we're going to see the Germans kind of walk backwards on this.
	They're helping us because this could be a problem.
	And on top of that, of course, the...
	The EU, which is a little back and forth that you showed at the beginning of the show, where they're irked about us helping Brexit.
	And there will be anything that's any alliance between any of the European countries and the United States is going to be scrutinized.
	And I believe this also will mark the beginning of the end for NATO. There's a big scandal going on right now in the EU's.
	Particularly in the Council of Europe, which is not part of the European Union official parliament.
	It's just an organization.
	And they focus on protecting human rights, democracy, rule of law in Europe, promoting European culture.
	It's an old one.
	They were founded in 1949.
	47 member states.
	But it, although it does not make laws, it is very important.
	They do a lot, and they, you know, it's like the biggest think tank you could think you could believe.
	And it's all about no nations, no borders, new world order.
	Right.
	The Council of Europe, plagued by caviar diplomacy, read the headlines.
	Big corruption scandal involving payments running into millions of euros.
	So these transfers came through banks in the Baltic, shell companies based in the UK and the Marshall Islands, and there's about 3 million euros being sent to money...
	To the wife of an Italian politician.
	I mean, it's completely corrupt.
	Sure.
	But people are seeing it, which is good.
	Yes, that's the good news.
	But for the slaves of Europe, we made a cartoon.
	Even though you can't see the cartoon, I thought the EU cartoon about their global strategy was Remember, globalism, globalists, New World Order, their global strategy, and they put that into a little animated short, and I thought I'd play the audio for us.
	Europe's foreign policy matters to you.
	Yes, I am talking to you.
	When Europe's region is unstable, terrorist groups can spread, our economies get weaker, and many people around Europe are forced to flee their homes.
	A strong European foreign policy can help our region stability and provide Europeans with great opportunities.
	Entrepreneurs can expand their activities, our goods can be exported to new markets, and we can keep enjoying the freedom to travel and to learn.
	Isolation is not the answer to the challenges of our times.
	The European Union needs to engage outside our borders, working with our partners on common solutions to common challenges.
	Our investments create new opportunities for growth.
	We support human rights, education, and good governance, and our servicemen are making our region more secure.
	This is the union we are building with a global strategy for foreign and security policy.
	This is what Europe can achieve when we act together.
	The European way.
	You will obey.
	Wow.
	you I like how they slip in our service personnel.
	Your army, your war machine, you mean, that you're building?
	Yeah, the one they're trying.
	Yeah, they're going there.
	Let's face it.
	I'm going to show my sword by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on no agenda.
	In the morning.
	We do have a few people to thank for today's show.
	I'm nine or one.
	9017.
	9017.
	Let's begin with finding the keyboard, which I put over here.
	The only man I know who loses his keyboard several times a week.
	Yes, well, it's on the floor.
	Yeah.
	Right where it belongs.
	That's where I hang my pants up.
	Lucas Lundy.
	Tacoma, Washington.

	Douchebag!
	And he wants someone to play the Gitmo National.
	Not today.
	Today is chock full.
	We'll do it soon.
	It's too much.
	Some other time.
	It gets played.

	Mark Hall, 65-69.
	Ah, that's our buddy Mark Hall.
	Hold on, that's not on the list, I don't think.
	Mark Hall?
	No.
	It's Mark Hall for who?
	Just happy birthday, John.
	Oh, I'm sorry, I thought it was for somebody else.
	Ovophobia is real.
	Yeah, I know.
	Okay.
	Got it.
	Thank you, Mark.
	Sir Wayne Larcombe in Brisbane, Queensland.
	And these are all birthday donations.
	But these are a little bit different.
	The 6565.
	Robert Gusick, 6565.

	And he becomes a baronet today.
	Yeah, so he's got a birthday thing on it.
	Happy birthday to me.
	Is my name on the birthday list?
	No.
	Oh, that's great.
	Is Evan Mackey's name on the birthday list?
	No.
	Well, I would advise you put both of them on there.
	Evan Mackey, how old has Evan become?
	I don't know.
	He's like 10 or something.
	I don't know.
	I have no idea.
	Don't put that there because I don't know what it is.
	I can't say 10 or something.
	I just say happy birthday.
	No, just say Evan Mackey, happy birthday.
	That's Eric's son.
	I know.
	Well, you'd think he'd put his own son on the list.
	Well, he doesn't put his father-in-law on the list.
	I mean, his stepfather, whatever you are.
	Yeah, well, there you go.
	Joseph Kasteen.

	Do I have the ISO from, not the RT ISO? No, I don't have it.
	I didn't make it.
	Sorry.
	I have an RT ISO? No, yeah, but that's not the one I'm thinking of.
	It's a little longer.
	I need it translated.

	You are loved.
	That's for sure.
	And onward with Jeffrey Anderson in Stewart, Florida.
	Michael Giles in Madison, Alabama.
	Baron Mark Tanner in Whittier, California.
	55-33.
	Giles was 59-73.
	Sir Tom Derry in DeForest, Wisconsin.
	59.73 is a ham.
	It's 5x9.73.
	Yes, it is.
	Yes, KC7TWW. Yeah, 7.3 is Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie.
	Sir Tom Darry, Darry, or Darry, probably Darry in Wisconsin, 55-10.
	Sir Kevin Payne in Richmond, Virginia, he's up to 54-30.
	He's always 5-4-3-2.
	Francisco Bonilla, 50-14, and the following people are $50.
	You know what he said?
	He has an interesting go-go reality rangers.
	So that's...
	We are the Reality Rangers.
	I like it.
	Yeah, it's like the...
	What were the Power Rangers?
	But we're...
	Go, go, Reality Rangers!
	Oh, I get it.
	Yeah.
	Maybe someone can do a jingle.
	That's why I sang it.
	Tyler Schimpf in Bothell, Washington.
	50?
	That would be Schimpf.
	Schimpf.
	My boyhood friend, Hans, is named Schimpf, so I wonder if there's a connection there.
	Maybe.
	There's not a lot of people with that.
	Shane Rosdilsky in Saskatoon.
	Sir Shane Rosdilsky.
	Yes.
	Justin Barber in Los Angeles, California.
	Jared Guess in Chicago, Illinois.
	Honky Tonk Willie in Anchorage, Alaska, and that's the last of our well-wishers.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Actually, Honky Tonk Willie did send a funny note in.
	Let's see if I can find it while you're moving.
	Honky Tonk Willie.
	Yeah, Honky Tonk Willie.
	Okay, I'll wait for it.
	While you're doing that, I got the note.
	Honky Tonk Willie also sent a book and something, I forget what else, some other thing.
	And it closes another 50 and some blank, oh, he sent me a blank cassette.
	For the Red Fox Project.
	Also, about 100 episodes ago, you talked about Quonset Huts, and so he sent me a book that, curiously, I already have.
	Oh.
	It's just a fluke, but I already have it.
	It's a book about Quonset Huts.
	I'm sure it's riveting.
	I saw it in an architectural bookstore, and I said, this I've got to have.
	Riveting.
	He says there's a lot of them in Anchorage.
	In fact, a book was put together up there, he says.
	Interestingly, the book fails to mention how widely reviled they are.
	So despised, in fact.
	I don't know why that is.
	I think he's right.
	Building codes for the municipality of Anchorage specifically forbids the erection of a Quonset hut.
	It's some date.
	Can't read it.
	You can't use it for anything.
	There's always a great podcast.
	Number 912 was absolutely fantastic.
	Oh, nice.
	Honky Tonk, Willie.
	Thank you, Honky Tonk.
	I got a special karma request from Sir Ramsey Cain.
	We always break for our nights, of course.
	Gentlemen, I've missed the past few shows as I've been all but bedridden by a flare-up of a pretty serious genetic condition.
	Yikes.
	We don't want this.
	No.
	The issue is compounded by the fact that I haven't been able to afford health insurance since the passing of the Affordable Care Act.
	I'm really in a bad way here and respectfully request some pro bono karma for better health and clean CT scan.
	A thanks Obama thrown in at the end would be appropriate.
	The bastard, as he says.
	I'd be very grateful as I know that no agenda karma works.
	Thank you for your courage and passion.
	Hail Apple, etc.
	Sir Ramsey Cain.
	Of course, of course.
	And we're very sorry to hear this, so we will give you a nice heaping of karma, my friend.
	You've got karma.
	It's your birthday, birthday.
	I'll go watch it.
	And we say happy birthday to David Wilson, turn 33 on April 1st.
	Sam Godwin says happy birthday to his mom, also celebrated on April 1st.
	Sir A.J. Reistat, Baron of Yellowstone in the Treasure Valley, happy birthday to his daughter Katie.

	Jeffrey Anderson, 64 today.
	Mike Giles, 38.

	Kylie Harrison, 50 on April 4th.
	Dame Lynn's boyfriend, Martin Felner, he turns, well he's celebrating on April 4th, so congratulations to him.
	Paul Del Nunzio, 55 on the 5th.
	John LeClerc, a.k.a.
	Sir Quijiboo, 36 on April 10th.
	And Evan Mackey, happy birthday from Grandpa John.
	He knows how old you are.
	And my friend, my confidante, my partner, John C. DeBarton, 65 years old on April 5th.
	Happy birthday from all your buddies here at The Best Podcast in the Universe.
	Yay, yay, yay, yay!
	Let me see.
	We have a title change, right?
	And required a...
	No, this is the one.
	This is the one he wanted.
	Come gather round douchebags, producer and slave.
	As we all thank your brothers and sisters who gave.
	And some of them nights, some of them days.
	For the titles are a-changing.
	And we have Sir Christoph the Cantankerous.
	who becomes a baronet today with his title change, and Sir Dave Fugisotto becomes the baron of Greater Kansas City.
	Gentlemen, congratulations.
	This will be changed on our peerage map, which you can find at itm.im slash peerage.
	And then we have two knights and one dame coming up today, John.
	Okay, let me grab this thing.
	Very nice.
	All right, Beth Bradshaw, Lucas Lundy, and Tom Green, step on up!
	All of you have contributed to the best podcast university amount of $1,000 or more.
	I'm very proud to pronounce the KD for the following titles.
	We have Dame Beth, Sir Lucas of the Lost Bits, and Sir 920 of 920.
	That's right, for you we have the following titles.
	Hookers and Boyle, Red Boys and Chardonnay, Brisket and Brown Ale, Malt Billinger, and Manual Transmission, Sake and Sushi with Wasabi and Soy Sauce on the side, Legos and Leg Warmers, we got Hot Pants and Booze, Breast Milk and Pavlin, Rubin S. Woman and Rosé, Bong Hits and Bourbon, Ginger Ale and Gerbils, Sparkling Cider and Escorts, and of course the ever-effervescent, Mutton and Mead.
	Head on over to noagendination.com slash rings, pick it up there, and I'm just realizing that Eric did put our...
	A certain 920 of the 920 on the list, but the whole point was the guy wanted his email, his note read.
	I got it.
	Okay, could you read that?
	Yeah, sure.
	He's been on the boarding pass plan now for apparently long enough to just play on the boarding.
	This was a program we started a long time ago.
	Yeah.
	Exceed the requirement for knighthood, and he's got the accounting.
	I never did get the boarding passes.
	The boarding passes have not gone out, that's why, because we haven't filled the damn plane.
	Yes.
	He'd like it.
	He can bore you.
	Now he's a knight.
	He can bore with the non-slaves.
	He doesn't want to be with them.
	I'd like to be dubs for 9-0.
	We just moved into our newly built home, so I'd appreciate a bit of home karma.
	Yes.
	And repurpose it as some job karma for the slaves who need it.
	If you could also throw in a bingo boom shakalaka and can't you see the juice, I'd get.
	This is interesting to me.
	Again, this random thing with this random number theory, which we haven't heard.
	Can't see that.
	Can you see any of the juice clips Yeah, for a while.
	For months and months, and now we have another one.
	He'd get a kick out of it.
	Quick shout out to Fab from Linux Outlaws.
	He originally hit me in the mouth years ago.
	Hope all is well.
	I miss Ello and the Go Pens Go love and light.
	Okay, I got his sequence.
	He deserves it.
	Oh my gosh!
	Can you see that juice?
	You've got karma.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yay!
	There we go.
	All right.
	Thank you very much.
	We are caught up indeed.
	I have a little clip here, and it's a rare moment, but I think I'm going to agree with you on something pretty big.
	This is Shannon Pettypiece.
	Great name, Shannon Pettypiece.
	It's a great name.
	She's from Bloomberg.
	She's a reporter.
	Okay.
	Shannon!
	Doesn't she sound like she'd be hanging out with Daphne?
	Shannon, Petty Peas.
	Hello, Shannon.
	Yes, Daphne.
	Oh, yes, yes.
	Shannon?
	Where's Shannon?
	She's with Daphne.
	The Muffy.
	Have you seen Daphne?
	No, she's with Shannon.
	This is regarding Obamacare.
	This is what the finger-pointing has looked like.
	Everybody's blaming everybody else.
	When you really bore down and look at the real facts, how bad is it?
	Is it as bad as it appears, I guess?
	It's very bad in certain markets.
	It's doing pretty well in other markets.
	And I think these predictions of Obamacare's death spiral from the reporting I've done are greatly exaggerating the problem.
	Yes, there are certain markets and there are certain people who are not doing well under this law, but there are others who are doing quite well.
	And to characterize this as a death spiral, I think next year this time, There will be people who are doing just fine, whose health insurance premiums have gone up some, but who have not faced this catastrophic situation.
	Are there band-aids to make this work so that it's not going to explode?
	Yeah, I think the solution is going to be something that Republicans really don't want to hear, which is more subsidies and more regulation.
	A bigger carrot and a bigger stick.
	If the penalty went up for people who don't buy insurance, more healthy people would be driven into the market.
	If the subsidies went up to help pay for people to get insurance, then more people would be able to afford it, and they, too, would go into the market.
	And if more regulations were placed on insurers to force them to sell in certain markets, that could also help, too.
	Oh, please.
	What a mess.
	Idiots.
	Idiots.
	Okay, so I've been thinking about your single-payer solution, which would be to expand Medicare.
	Yeah, universal Medicare is the phrase.
	And universal Medicare.
	And I'm going to agree with you, and here's why.
	We clearly need to move to some market-based solutions, but we're so deep in this that if overnight we said, that's it, we're done, the stock markets would crash.
	It would be absolute Armageddon because this country of ours runs on big pharma and banking.
	That's the two main ones.
	Of course, military as well.
	Television advertising.
	The amount of money they are spending, which is what is it now?
	$60 billion a year, some crazy amount.
	That is because of the exorbitant high prices.
	So, I would propose...
	Go to single-payer, or what do you call it?
	Expanded Medicare?
	Universal Medicare.
	Universal Medicare.
	With a sunset provision that over time, the entire idea behind the Universal Medicare would be to pressure prices down.
	Starting with the pharmaceutical and the huge hospital industrial complex.
	Because there are only two companies that own all the hospitals.
	All of them.
	I don't know that you have to do that because everything with universal Medicare is based on a fee schedule.
	Right, but that's...
	And I hate to say that people are like...
	Let me interject.
	The fee schedule does not work.
	It's because of the cost of medicine that it's not enough.
	It's not enough.
	That's where...
	Here's the deal.
	So you have a drug that is...
	It's a nickel drug.
	It's something that used to cost 5 cents, 10 cents a dollar.
	Now it's $500.
	In fact, I got a clip after clip about this.
	In fact, let's play a couple of these clips now that you mention it.
	And let's listen to this one.
	This is the...
	I got a couple of clips from the last show.
	This is MS drug cost.
	Genentech tells me the drug will be available to patients as early as next week.
	It costs $65,000 a year, and patients will be injected once every six months.
	Julie, Frank?
	Amber, it sounds like the drug is very hopeful, but $65,000 a year, that's over $5,000 a month.
	How could anybody afford that, or would insurance cover this?
	You know, it's not clear, but the doctor said to put things in perspective, other similar drugs that have been used to treat MS cost roughly the same amount, so let's hope that insurance does cover it.
	All right.
	Amber, thank you.
	The way the scam works, the insurance will end up covering it and everybody's premiums will go up.
	I'm sorry, that's not true.
	The way the scam works, the insurance companies negotiate that down to 28 cents on the dollar.
	That's how the scam works.
	And guess where the remaining 62 cents is going?
	Exactly.
	Into their pockets.
	So I say negotiate it down to 28%.
	You know what?
	We'll do 50% to start off.
	But that would have to be in it.
	I'm okay with it if the idea is to eventually get everything back to normal.
	That is the idea.
	To get these prices down on these scam drugs.
	Play the one.
	This is on last week's or last show's clip list.
	New drug on ABC. That's the name of the clip.
	You can find it.
	I don't have that.
	New drug on ABC. Oh, is this from the previous show?
	Yeah.
	Oh, okay, so I have to look.
	Okay, I got you.
	I'm sorry.
	I understand what you're asking for.
	Health tonight and a new promise involving a cholesterol drug with some pretty dramatic results.
	A new study showing the drug Repatha does not only causes cholesterol levels to plunge, it also cuts the risk of heart attack by up to 20% when given with a traditional statin.
	The drug is injected once or twice a month.
	It does cost more than $14,000 a year.
	Many insurance companies had been unwilling to cover the price without more proof of its success.
	Now there is growing pressure for them to cover it.
	The study appears in the New England Journal of Medicine.
	Ah, yeah, of course.
	So this is what's happening.
	It only can be stopped by single payer.
	And the other issue that we have in our system is the EHR, the electronic health records, a nightmare.
	It's a nightmare for doctors.
	That needs to be revamped.
	So just because you cannot, it would be disastrous.
	You can't just shut insurance companies.
	I saw the market when there was this, oh, are they going to introduce the bill for the vote or not?
	All financial markets were frozen.
	They just stopped.
	Because insurance is banking.
	It's nothing more than banking.
	There's no one with lab coats at your insurance company.
	It's just bankers sitting in those...
	Those buildings.
	And the other problem is people say, well, I don't want the government regulating.
	I don't want the government telling doctors what to do.
	The insurance companies are telling doctors what to do, and they're out to make a profit.
	So they're the ones that you don't want telling doctors what to do, because the government, they're just maybe incompetent boneheads, but they're not trying to make money on the deal like the insurance companies are.
	And furthermore, if you talk to any doctor, go talk to your doctor about this.
	Every time they do anything, they have to go to the insurance company and argue with them.
	It is a disaster.
	Yeah, it is.
	It is.
	And do you think that that's the idea?
	To have this fail purposefully and then eventually go to something like that?
	I don't think that was the idea to begin with at all.
	And here's the thing a doctor friend of mine who I've known since college told me that, and this was a number of years ago, the medical establishment was expecting in the 70s or 80s to move to single payer.
	They were expecting it.
	It was kind of in and out of the conversation.
	It was going to happen.
	And they had all freaked out.
	And so they started the process of gouging to make what they could before this whole thing fell apart and they couldn't make what they could anymore because they couldn't do the gouging that they're doing.
	These two stories I just played are examples of one thing and one thing only.
	Gouging.
	And so they're gouging more now than ever because they see the writing on the wall.
	Yeah.
	I agree.
	I agree.
	You can see it everywhere.
	So I have to say that I'd be on board with a plan like that.
	And I think more people are coming into that.
	But it has to have...
	Well, the transition is an issue.
	I have no idea how they're going to handle it.
	But the mechanism is there.
	It's not like they have to reinvent the wheel like they had to do with these other plans.
	Okay, I'm with you.
	So there you go.
	I'm with you for once.
	You're with me a lot.
	Yeah, that's true.
	Now, this is something we teased on Thursday, and here it is.
	We may disagree on this, but I cannot, although there's a little tip-off in this report, cannot wait to hear your take.
	Live look now at the U.S. Capitol tonight, where the U.S. House sent the president a major bill that could change how we use the Internet.
	The bill would take away the FCC's online privacy protections that were going to take effect at the end of the year.
	Okay, stop, stop, stop, stop.
	This is tech news.
	We've got to play the jingle.
	I'm so sorry.
	Okay.
	I'm kind of prepared.
	Where's the grouch?
	We'll bring him in.
	I can't find the grouch.
	Where's the grouch?
	Oh, no.
	Here's the grouch.
	iPhone, schmy phone!
	Hey, Tech Grouch, it's e-phone.
	Don't you know that?
	It's not iPhone, it's an e-phone.
	E-phone.
	Hey, everybody, it's time for Tech News.
	All the Tech Hornets will be talking about this, but you get the real story right here on your No Agenda show.
	We are the Rangers of Reality.
	All right.
	Now you have a clip, Blay.
	Okay.
	I'll start it over again.
	Live look now at the U.S. Capitol tonight, where the U.S. House sent the president a major bill that could change how we use the Internet.
	The bill would take away the FCC's online privacy protections that were going to take effect at the end of the year.
	Lori Mazzucawa joins us now with details on the changes and how they could affect you.
	Amanda and David, if it becomes law, the bill would allow Internet service providers like Verizon, AT&T, and Comcast access to your data without your permission.
	And that includes search history, location, emails, messages, even health data.
	The providers would be able to monitor your customers' behavior online, use your personal information to sell ads, again, without your permission.
	They could even sell your information directly to marketers, financial firms, and others who can use that information again without your consent.
	And service providers would no longer be required to improve protection against hackers and thieves.
	Republican backers say their bill gets government out of the internet business.
	Democrats say it's just outrageous.
	So the message to the American people is clear.
	Your privacy doesn't matter.
	And your web browsing history should be available to anyone who will pay the highest price for it.
	These broadband privacy rules are unnecessary and are just another example of big government overreach.
	The bill, if it becomes law, would also prohibit the FCC from restoring privacy rules in the future.
	Now, I want to give you my take on this for what I know, then I want to hear from you.
	Since we teased this on Thursday, I learned that this was an Obama regulation that never even went into effect.
	It was not even in effect.
	So it's been this way, what I understand, nothing has changed.
	This has always been this way.
	It's been open.
	I, of course, when I hear the term, oh, your web browsing history, that's a little bit of a misnomer.
	That's not entirely true.
	Maybe, you know, depending on what sites you access, you know, they may be able to get a whole stream.
	But if it's HTTPS, probably not.
	So you can just say, you know, well, here's the website you visited.
	That may be possible.
	But for me, all this yelling and screaming kind of falls dead when you realize that this was never a rule to start with.
	It was a rule, but it was never implemented.
	It's supposed to start in October.
	So what changed and where was everybody?
	Well, what bothers me about this story is that they make it sound as if exactly what you said.
	They make it sound as if this is new.
	This is just going back to the way it was.
	And as you point out, the way it still is.
	All it does is get rid of the thing that was going to happen eventually.
	But everyone's making a big fuss because it's a big anti-Trump thing.
	And I think it's, to me, it's a hit on this net neutrality.
	Let's bring the FCC in.
	Of course, you know my attitude about the net neutrality.
	All you're doing is inviting the government to regulate.
	Which is what they want.
	And this is doing just the opposite.
	You're getting the government out of the internet, which is what you wanted from the beginning.
	Now let's talk about, and everybody's all hysterical about this.
	Not everybody, only the tech horny people in your neck of the woods.
	That to me is everybody.
	Online privacy, forget it.
	Even with a VPN, writes Elizabeth Weiss in USA Today.
	And she goes on about how this thing is a disaster.
	The decision decried by consumer groups and Democrats and lauded by Republicans and telecom companies.
	Very good with the association.
	You got consumer groups and Democrats, great.
	You have Republicans and telecom companies.
	Telecom companies, bad.
	Okay, so this is, we know this is rigged.
	And then she goes on about how, she says, one possibility that fixes wider use of VPNs, she says, which provide private end-to-end internet connections are typically used with public Wi-Fi.
	Really?
	And then some guy says, yeah, it's time to start using a VPN at home.
	Well...
	But then she says, and she writes this in, and people know about VPNs, know what's going on here.
	But such protection is limited, she says.
	Well, VPNs keep broadband providers from seeing the site's users visit.
	The masking a website, an operator like Amazon tracks users' activities so it can suggest tailored products.
	Oh, and that's working out really well.
	I'm so impressed with Amazon's ability to tell me exactly what I need because it's usually exactly what I just bought.
	Now, what she's doing, obviously not understanding how a VPN works and what its importance is.
	Yes, if you go on Google on your VPN and Google tracks your site because you're, typically if you're on Google, you're registered with Google in some way, shape, or form.
	And you end up having your whole, everything you do on Google is like registered and it's all in a big, you can ask for your old history.
	You go, oh my God, look at this.
	And this whole thing, to me, this whole fuss, and I think the Democrats and public consumer people and the people that are all in on this, this whole thing was brought about, and why they're making the big fuss is because the Obama law was designed, in my opinion, to benefit Google, to benefit Amazon, and to benefit any other big browser company and public site.
	Because they can still do the tracking.
	The ISPs can do the tracking, and they can do the tracking.
	The ISPs can do some tracking, and they could sell that data if they wanted to.
	Thus, they're competing with Google and Amazon, these guys who are tracking.
	Oh, of course.
	So let's cut them out of the picture.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Thank you.
	You nailed it.
	You nailed it.
	And Google is one of the biggest lobbyists, money-wise.
	Oh yeah.
	This whole thing is, the original bill, the one that's been pulled out, I'm sure Google's behind it.
	Hey, we're the ones that are supposed to be collecting personal data on people.
	We don't want the ISPs getting in on our business.
	Hey man, that's no good, man.
	Get them out of here.
	Screwballs.
	And that's what it's all about.
	And now it's back to square one.
	So nothing's changed.
	So don't get worked up about it.
	And get a VPN, by the way.
	And learn how to use email encryption while you're out.
	It's not that hard.
	And learn how to set up a server.
	Come on, people.
	You can get a bucket.
	An Amazon S3 bucket.
	You order it the same way you order your other stupid crap from Amazon.
	You get a bucket...
	You get a client that knows how to transfer those files, where there's tons of them for free, and you throw the crap in there, and you've got a web server.
	Whoa!
	So hard.
	You got any more tech news?
	Now, there is one other thing that should be mentioned, at least not to me, tech news is bullcrap news.
	But what is going on with this?
	Play this clip.
	This is a good one.
	Again, we have our theories about why they're doing any of this, but play laptop bomb.
	Oh, my favorite.
	There is word tonight that terrorists are developing a bomb that could be carried onto a plane undetected.
	And our transportation correspondent, Chris Van Cleave, has the latest on this.
	Chris?
	Scott, U.S. intelligence officials tell CBS News terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and ISIS have been perfecting and testing a bomb small enough to fit in a laptop computer that could get past airport scanners.
	The new intelligence suggests the terror groups have been testing the new bomb on airport scanners they've obtained.
	This concern prompted the U.S. and U.K. to ban laptops and other large personal electronics from carry-on luggage on flights from certain designated countries.
	Now last year a laptop bomb blew a hole in the side of a Somali airliner.
	the plane was able to land safely.
	The terror laptop of doom.
	The terror laptop of doom.
	Now the funny thing about this laptop bomb nonsense is that when they could have made something they maybe could fail, when they had their first time around after the shoe bomber and all the rest years ago, and people carry around these clunky, monstrous laptops.
	The laptops today are, like, unbelievable.
	You couldn't get anything in there.
	You can't even open them.
	You can't even open them.
	It's, like, ridiculous.
	Well, as we discussed, this is only for a number of airports, and these are for airports that have airlines with direct flights, new direct flights into the United States, including Chicago, Miami, and this is to piss people off to take our partner air flights, you know, have KLM fly it.
	I think that's one element.
	The other element is to download the contents of the laptop.
	By the government?
	Possibly.
	Possibly.
	I don't...
	I think there's no...
	That's what I'm doing.
	Especially you...
	Not everybody, but you got this one guy, you know, he's on some sort of a list.
	You download his...
	You got his laptop there?
	Try anyone to get it.
	Maybe some good investments.
	But for sure, it's...
	Oh, they have one of those explosive sensing machines.
	They know they can measure and make sure that their stuff is good to go and can slip right through.
	Come on.
	Are we still falling for this stuff?
	Which I guess we are still falling for it.
	Yeah, of course we are.
	Are you kidding?
	Okay.
	Hold on.
	Yes?
	Oh, did you have something else?
	I just wanted to play you the new RT noise that I think you can incorporate.
	You might want to clip it down even more.
	But this is brand new and they're using it all the time.
	Brand new.
	Oh, here we go.
	Hey, that's pretty good.
	Hold on a second.
	You could have clipped it tighter though.
	I could have clipped the front off, but it was part of it.
	You could probably clip the front off.
	Well, let me try it.
	Let me see what we got here.
	This is used when I say, and now this is what Adam Curry said, and that's what they use now.
	Huh.
	Let me see if I can do this.
	What we need to do is we need to put in this...
	Okay, here we go.
	I think...
	Hey, why isn't that working?
	Ah, here.
	I think we can do this.
	Let's see.
	Okay, I'll start it there.
	What did you do?
	Well, I'm rocking back and forth.
	Okay, and that's the end right there.
	Perfect.
	Okay, and we export it as...
	What do we call it?
	RT sound?
	Yeah, that would probably be it.
	Let me see.
	RT sound.
	Actually, I'll do SFX. And then ISO. See, this is how the sausage is made, people.
	Hope you enjoy it.
	Okay, we have exported.
	Good.
	And now I can actually play this.
	I can use this immediately and have it go right...
	Where is it?
	Here we go.
	Okay, right into this one.
	Perfect.
	Here we go.
	Where is it?
	here.
	That's right.
	We got a new report on Maxine Waters.
	Not a clip today, but according to Crew, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, now comes the news to us that Maxine Waters has been named one of the most corrupt members of Congress.
	That's right.
	By contacting Henry Paulson during the financial crisis 2007-2008, and he was then Treasury Secretary, to request a meeting allegedly for a group of minority-owned banks, but then arranging for only one bank, one united, in which she had a financial interest, Waters violated in which she had a financial interest, Waters violated House Conflict of Interest Rules.
	Thank you.
	About the same time, Waters asked the Treasury Department to hold the initial meeting.
	Representative Waters spoke to Barney Frank about One United, telling him that her husband previously had served on the board.
	Frank advised her to stay out of the matters related to the bank.
	Nevertheless, Waters' chief of staff and grandson, Michael Moore, M-I-K-A-E-L Moore, Continue to actively assist One United representatives in their quest to receive bailout funds and work to craft legislation authorizing Treasury to grant One United's request.
	It turns out that her husband also had a sizable investment in the bank.
	So there you have it.
	One of the most corrupt members of Congress, according to Crew, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
	Is that a Republican outfit?
	I would assume so.
	Yeah, probably.
	Let me see.
	About us.
	Hi, we're a Republican outfit.
	Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington is a Republican outfit using aggressive legal action.
	Let me see.
	Who's our team?
	Do we recognize any names?
	It must be.
	No, I'm sure it is.
	Noah Bookbinder, Adam Rappaport.
	I don't know any of these people.
	I mean, it doesn't mean they're a mainstream Republican outfit, but I'm sure they're leaning to the conservative side, it sounds like.
	What would they...
	All I know is this.
	That's all I know.
	Yeah, you know, it doesn't sound that good.
	The way they use it, it sounds better.
	I mean, I took the clip out of the thing, and I thought it sounded kind of okay when I was editing, but now I listen to it on our show.
	I think it stinks.
	I think it's more like...
	We're going now to John C. Dvorak, who's on the scene.
	He is in the north of Silicon Valley.
	John?
	Oh, see, that would be where I expected to hear it.
	That's the way they were doing it.
	They were using it that way.
	Yeah, that's the way you do it.
	It's like, and now it's time for one last clip from John.
	Yay, Adam, how you doing?
	I'm doing very well, John.
	How the hell are you?
	It's like having a bubbling sound.
	Anyway, okay.
	I got a couple of the little, we're getting near the end.
	Are we five minutes, ten minutes?
	Yeah, we're about, we are about ten minutes away, John.
	Okay, let's get a couple out of the way.
	Let's try...
	Turks...
	Oh, wait.
	You know...
	Turks spy...
	I'm really irked now.
	Turks spy on the Germans.
	We haven't got caught up with this yet.
	Here in Germany, allegations have surfaced that Turkey has been spying on a member of Germany's parliament, Social Democrat Michel Muntefering, who chairs the German-Turkish parliamentary group.
	Muntefering said a line has clearly been crossed.
	Prosecutors have already opened an investigation into large-scale spying by Turkish agents on Turkish citizens living here in Germany.
	Michel Müntefering, German MP, head of the German-Turkish Parliamentary Association and in the focus of the Turkish Intelligence Service, MIT. It was probably this appearance two years ago at an event hosted by a cultural association close to the Gülen movement that made her a target.
	The Turkish government believes the cleric Fethullah Gülen, living in U.S. exile, was behind the failed coup in summer 2016 and is trying to crush the movement associated with him.
	In January, the head of Turkish intelligence handed over to German authorities a list of 300 alleged Gülen supporters in Germany, hoping Berlin would help gather more information.
	Among the 300 named two German politicians, one of them the German MP. The head of the Social Democrats in Parliament is outraged.
	Well, it worked there.
	You know, so did you hear that thing that Flynn apparently wanted to extradite Gulen to Turkey without going through the extradition process?
	I don't believe it.
	I don't believe it either.
	I think it's just bogus news.
	Yeah.
	Or fake news, as they like to say.
	I have a perfect man on the street that I'd like to share with the group.
	Now, we've talked many times about how man on the street stuff works.
	You get a whole bunch of people on the street, you pick out the ones that you want, and you usually make someone sound stupid.
	That's the goal.
	That's the goal.
	And it's not hard.
	No, you just pick the ones where people are stupid.
	That's easy.
	Or ones that make a group or a person sound stupid.
	You've seen it.
	It's called Lie Witness News with Jimmy Kimmel.
	But the BBC actually does it with earnest.
	And they did it recently in Minnesota as they were talking to Somali immigrants in Minnesota.
	Well, we've just stopped in a car park now, and this is a housing project, isn't it, of some kind?
	Yes, you can say so.
	I mean, there is a lot of Somali-American families that live here.
	Yeah, well, let's go and have a look.
	I could just see the school bus has finished at the end of the school day, and there's a yellow bus, that typical American yellow bus you see in those movies.
	I like that a lot, by the way.
	It's 2017.
	It's not 1964, douchebag.
	Well, there's yellow school buses just like in the movies.
	Yeah, wow, it's amazing.
	End of the school day, and there's a yellow bus, that typical American yellow bus you see in those movies, and lots of Somali girls coming out with their headscarves on.
	Can we catch a couple of these girls coming back from school?
	Sure, hi.
	You want to say something?
	And there's the edit, by the way.
	Sure, and then you hear a whole different sound, and we go to the edit of the funny one.
	Girls coming back from school.
	Sure, hi.
	You want to say something?
	Can I ask you where you're from?
	Somalia.
	From Somalia?
	And tell me, when did you come here?
	I came here 2013.
	So how are you finding America?
	It's good.
	Yeah, some negative people and some positive people.
	Some negative people?
	Yeah, and some positive people.
	And some positive.
	Tell me about the positive first.
	There's a lot of good people around here.
	And what are the negative people?
	Like Trump...
	Donald Trump?
	Yeah.
	He's so negative.
	Yeah, there it is.
	Oh, yeah.
	Thank you very much.
	He's Trump!
	He's Trump!
	The President!
	Oh, God.
	Well, I think I was listening to Chinese news again, and I caught this clip, which I probably should have played earlier in the show, because it's a killer.
	This has got to be your last one, though, because we're...
	Yeah, okay.
	Okay.
	We'll move Musk and the implant to the next show.
	Oh, wow.
	I can't wait for that.
	Musk and the implant.
	Oh, yeah.
	Musk is in the implants now.
	I'm excited now.
	I'm excited.
	This is China.
	So it says Sina News.
	I want you to just listen very carefully to this.
	And then we can talk about it for just a little bit.
	Because this is the most frightening clip.
	I have found recently.
	Speaking at the NATO's foreign minister's meeting in Brussels, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson denounced Russia's aggression against Ukraine.
	He reiterated U.S. sanctions imposed on Moscow will remain in place until it returns the peninsula to Kiev, something Russia has long insisted will never happen.
	NATO's European members have previously voiced concerns over Russia's military build-up along the alliance's eastern borders and its regular military drills held on NATO's doorstep in the Black Sea region and in the Baltics.
	Moscow, for its part, opposes what it calls NATO's eastward expansion and says it is alarmed by drills held near its western borders.
	One Russian senator, Alexei Pushkov, on Friday accused NATO of preparing for a possible full-scale war with Russia after media reports revealed that NATO posted a job ad for Russian-speaking extras needed to participate in NATO's upcoming war games in Germany.
	Wait a minute.
	Whoa, there was a lot going on there.
	Break it down for me, Jean.
	Apparently, and this hasn't shown up in CBS, they're going to do these war games, but what they decided to do is get some Russian actors to play Russians, and the kicker to me was they had to be able to speak Russian.
	Because if you're doing a war game, you don't need to speak Russian.
	What's the point of that?
	Unless you're trying to create some sort of a false flag bullshit situation that you can then roll out as a news story.
	Ooh, and where is this taking place?
	This is right there on the borders in Poland or one of those, Estonia, one of those places where they're doing these exercises that the Russians are bitching about.
	Oh.
	And I think that they caught a false flag.
	Somebody did.
	They found the ad for Russian actors.
	And I think they blew up the operation.
	Craigslist Poland.
	I think they blew it up.
	And I think this is like, oh, jeez, we had this all figured out.
	We're going to do this and we're going to show that there's Russians over here doing this.
	I'm telling you, this was a setup to get us into war.
	And they got caught.
	How would it have worked?
	What was the idea?
	Well, it's like anything else where you have a situation that takes place and you have a skirmish or it could be something like the way they do this North Korea-South Korea thing where all of a sudden something happens that's not supposed to happen and you find a bunch of Russians behind it and then they capture the Russians and the Russians are now acting like, no, we're not from Russia.
	Obviously, Russians...
	I just think, I don't know what the scenario was, but I'm telling you, there's no reason for them to be advertising for Russian-speaking actors and extras.
	And the other reports, by the way, also had actors and extras.
	Well, at this point, we are on such a...
	When you use your own people.
	We're on such a Tinder, you know, powder keg, Tinder keg, whatever.
	Tinder box.
	Tinder box.
	Yeah.
	And all we need is one, as you say, skirmish involving Russia, and everybody will be ready to go to war with them.
	Especially McCain and Graham and all these dudes.
	Yeah, those assholes.
	Yes.
	McCain.
	Well, let's hope it doesn't happen before Thursday.
	Well, they got busted out.
	We got lucky.
	We did get lucky.
	We dodged a bullet on that one, it appears.
	Alright, March Madness is over.
	Did I miss a game, or is there one more game left?
	There's one more game, and it's on Monday.
	I would advise you to watch it.
	It's a national championship game with the Zags, which has this...
	which has got one of the players that's the most entertaining you can imagine.
	He's about a 310-pound, 7'1 Polak.
	Nice.
	He's a big Polish guy, and he's in the middle on the Zags, and I find him...
	he's really good.
	Big white guy.
	Yeah, big white guy.
	And, um...
	It's quite funny, and they're playing against a team that's got a lot of experience in the final games, and they won a bunch of championships, but everyone's rooting for the Zags.
	Okay.
	Well, I'll be watching the Country Awards tonight.
	Yeah.
	My beat.
	You think there'll be any messaging?
	Nah, probably not.
	But I am coming to you from downtown Austin, Texas, FEMA Region 6 on any map, a governmental map if you're looking to find it, in the Crackpot Condo in the Skyscraper.

	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I just dropped my ball, or my bell, or my ball, I'm John C. Dvorak.

	Oh, yeah.
