	No.
	No, they won't.
	No.
	Yes, they will.
	No.
	No. Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	And Sunday, May 21st, 2017, this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 9 or 3.
	This is no agenda.
	Tracking all the nut jobs in politics so you don't have to.
	And broadcasting live from the darkest chords of the event here in the capital of the Drone Star State in the Concludio.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're well known for a jackrabbit start, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's crackball and buzzkill in the morning.
	Jackrabbit start?
	I'm not familiar with this.
	You're not?
	Is this a phrase from the Shays?
	It actually is, but it refers to people.
	It refers to leaving the stop line.
	Stop line.
	The stop sign.
	Stop the line.
	Oh.
	And then you do a jackrabbit start.
	You just take off like a rocket.
	All right, everybody.
	I'm kicking it off nice.
	Hey, I've determined, actually, you know, before we start the show, we always have this live stream of the show.
	Which we do for a number of reasons.
	One, we like having people interact and feedback through the war room, noagendastream.com.
	But we also have a couple things.
	I have to play the fat lady, which is the Valkyrie.
	But you, and it takes one to know one, you have a form of Tourette's.
	Did you know that?
	I did not know that.
	Yeah.
	It's kind of a Tourette's by proxy.
	You see, Tourette's is an urge to do things, you know, grunt and tick and stuff.
	You cannot...
	I think you have these impulses, these urges.
	You can't not stop playing sounds.
	Huh.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I think there is some kind of Tourette's in there.
	As possible.
	Yeah, that's all right.
	Well, welcome to the club.
	Maybe, yeah.
	So, the Zephyr just went by, and I should mention, that it did have an additional car.
	Oh, a nice one?
	One of those executive cars?
	Yeah, it was a beauty.
	It was like an old dome car, but it wasn't from the California Zephyr Dome.
	It was some other dome car I've never seen before, with a red side.
	It had a red stripe on the side.
	Okay.
	Yep, some rich guys going by.
	I just wanted to read an email right off the top, because it came in this morning, from a long-time producer.
	Professor Dave King.
	I think last time we spoke, he was in Germany.
	He's been around the world.
	He teaches, I believe he teaches English, but he may also teach music.
	And here was his note.
	Oh, he must love my stuff.
	Yeah, yeah, he does.
	In fact, here's his note.
	Putin must be your main donator.
	Too much BS and your senseless conspiracies.
	A real waste of time.
	I'm unsubscribing.
	Thanks.
	Thanks, Dave.
	Yeah, Putin.
	Yeah, Putin's...
	Yeah.
	I'm okay if you don't like what we're saying and you want to leave.
	But senseless stuff like that just makes you look dumb.
	Putin.
	Putin, sure.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I'm rolling in the dough.
	We used the Putin scream for a couple weeks.
	We should do it.
	Putin!
	Yeah.
	Get our quote up, you know?
	What's the senseless conspiracy theory?
	I don't know.
	It was from the previous show.
	We thought we had senseless conspiracy theories.
	I don't know.
	I'll tell you one theory that may not be senseless, which I feel kind of bad because it's kind of my beat or my wheelhouse.
	I should have mentioned that with everything going on in the United States media, we do need to remember that That this is now completely legal ever since the 2013 repealment of the Smith-Munt Act.
	All this propaganda might not have happened if not for that.
	It certainly would have been more illegal.
	Nah.
	Nah, he says.
	Nah.
	They've been doing it for years, illegal or not.
	Maybe they just feel better about doing it.
	I don't know.
	Probably somebody wrote a memo and they said, oh God.
	I mean, the Comey stuff has been absolutely fantastic.
	Because it brings in...
	Comey the nut job, you mean?
	Yeah, Comey the nut job.
	It brings in the alternate universes.
	People are completely confused.
	And there was a lot of glee, glee, on the Trump-supporting side as they went back to May 3rd of this year to testimony from FBI Director James Comey, which...
	It's proof!
	It's proof that he testified under oath it didn't happen.
	Trump did not at any way try to obstruct justice.
	The way you would want it.
	But yeah, we work with the Department of Justice on all of our investigations.
	So if the Attorney General or senior officials at the Department of Justice opposes a specific investigation, can they halt that FBI investigation?
	In theory, yes.
	Has it happened?
	Not in my experience, because it would be a big deal to tell the FBI to stop doing something without an appropriate purpose.
	Oftentimes, they give us opinions that we don't see a case there, and so you ought to stop investing resources in it.
	But I'm talking about a situation where we were told to stop something for a political reason.
	That would be a very big deal.
	It's not happened in my experience.
	It's not happened in my experience, he says.
	But this question was about the Justice Department, not about the president or the executive branch.
	Well, he kind of said nothing happened anyway, but this is like the Clapper stuff.
	Over and over again, the right wing plays the Clapper clip, which is, no, there's never been anything that looks like it's been messing with the Russians.
	And then they play, they ask him again, then they ask him again, he keeps saying the same thing.
	And they keep bringing up, oh, the Russians, the Russians, the Russians, then they ask Clapper again, he says the same thing, and then the right wingers play that clip.
	And it's just ridiculous, the whole thing, I think, is kind of summarized Like Professor Cohen, who of course is our boy.
	Our man.
	Our boy.
	Our homie.
	He's our homie.
	So he came on the RT, where he could really say what he wanted to say.
	Of course, he's a...
	I'm sorry.
	Obviously, he is a Russian operative.
	We all know this.
	He's on RT. That's where Flynn hangs out.
	So this guy has no credibility.
	Screw the fact that he's a professor.
	So I got a couple, I actually have three clips from him on the Sophie show.
	Sophie's an interview show.
	Yeah, I don't like her.
	I don't like her show.
	I don't like her.
	That's so I can get these clips.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So let's listen to, and I said so twice there, let's listen to, I think this applies to the clip you just played.
	This is Cohen on The Resistance.
	Speaking about the mainstream media, Fox News says the DNC is planning to spend a million dollars on a so-called resistance summer, and that's supposed to be a series of meetings and rallies against Trump across the country.
	Are they hoping to ride a grassroots anti-Trump wave?
	Maybe, you know, where could it...
	Well, at least they're asking the right questions.
	We know this is about re-election.
	We know it's about the midterm.
	So she's asking the right questions, our Sophie is.
	And where could it take them, actually?
	Well, it's already started.
	There's no mystery here.
	Through my wife, the editor of The Nation magazine, I'm fairly close to, or if not close, at least I see and hear them, leading figures of the Democratic Party.
	And the Democratic Party...
	Wait, wait.
	Is The Nation a left-wing or a right-wing publication?
	It's a progressive magazine.
	Oh, so it's Dimension B. Yes.
	Oh, how does he live with her?
	I think they're both like high...
	When you're a heightened intellectual, professorial type, and especially emeritus, there's a lot of leeway given within the relationship, I believe.
	He's just a crazy professor.
	Don't worry about it.
	It's just his professor things.
	Leading figures of the Democratic Party.
	And the Democratic Party, particularly the Hillary Clinton wing of the Democratic Party, has already made it clear that it's going to push this Trump-Russia story at least until the congressional elections in 2018.
	They think it's a winning issue.
	And I think it's fairly clear that this is Mrs.
	Clinton's hope to run again.
	Because she will say, I did not run a bad campaign.
	I did not lose.
	Putin stole my election from me and gave it to Trump.
	And they're going to push this at the grassroots.
	It's already out there at town meetings, at the Democratic grassroots.
	And they're going to push it and push it at least until the elections, off-year elections, we call them, in 2018.
	So this is a given.
	No matter what facts emerge.
	Yeah, that's kind of what he said on Tucker as well.
	This is his new thing.
	And I think that's maybe the thing that triggered the letter writer.
	Because this sounds like a crazy conspiracy.
	Oh, yes, of course.
	Obama.
	So why would they do...
	So why would they do anything crazy like that?
	That's a conspiracy theory.
	Yes, conspiracy crazy.
	It's a conspiracy theory that the Democrats want to take some House and Senate seats back.
	I'm unsubscribing.
	I'm unsubscribing you and your crazy conspiracies that the Democrats want to take some House seats.
	All they say, all they talk about is the...
	In fact, hold on, let me give you this.
	This was really nice.
	This was Cummings.
	Oh God, the worst.
	Yeah, Cummings with a little message for the media.
	Thank you all.
	I really appreciate you all.
	By the way, one other thing.
	If there is any moment that the press in our country's history has a major role, it is this moment.
	This is your moment.
	You have got to put it out there.
	So people can understand what is going on.
	I have said it before.
	I'll say it again.
	And I'll say it again.
	This is about the fight for the soul of our democracy.
	We cannot afford to lose this one.
	We cannot afford to lose this one.
	It's in his head.
	He already did.
	This is in his head.
	We can't afford to lose.
	I know what he's talking about.
	The elections.
	He's not talking about anything else.
	Yeah, of course.
	They're in trouble.
	Well, you wouldn't think so from the way people are responding to the news.
	What is the agreement you have with your two journalist friends?
	Agreement?
	No, the bet.
	The bet.
	The bet.
	Oh, well, we don't have a current bet.
	We're trying to work on a bet that's going to involve Trump getting kicked out of office before his term's over.
	Okay.
	So, on the Bill Maher show, I was blown away by this.
	He cut the same bet that you are about to cut with your two incredibly intellectual journalistic friends.
	Who write for, what is it, Times?
	Well, one of them's now, they're both actually retired from the newspaper business.
	One's now a professor and the other one's...
	We can't mention them by name anymore?
	Is that not done?
	It's okay.
	I just don't want to get, because every time I mention by name, I get a call.
	Ah, I thought they didn't listen.
	Yeah, until one of their names gets out, and then their buddies say, hey, did you hear them talking bad about you?
	And so then they go listen, and then I have to take a bunch of grief.
	Well, here's Bill Maher, and you may want to send this to them so that they can get in on the action.
	This is your bet.
	He had on his first guest...
	What's this guy's name?
	He's the...
	From the Sinclair Broadcast Group, which is one of these.
	Boris Epstein.
	One of these guys.
	But you're right.
	Sinclair Broadcast, you're very right-wing.
	TV stations, independent owner of TV stations.
	And radio, too?
	That makes sense.
	I think so.
	He's on.
	And he's kind of an interesting guy.
	He's like, I don't care.
	We'll talk about whatever we need to talk about.
	And Bill Maher comes up with the perfect bet, with the perfect bet.
	Anti, and with the perfect timeline, which I believe you must recreate with your friends.
	All right, so let's get to this.
	And look, I don't want to make this adversarial.
	Obviously, we are from different sides of the spectrum.
	But look, as long as you keep it straight with me.
	But look, listen to me, because I'm more important.
	But look, as long as you keep it straight with me.
	Let's do it.
	Let's do it, exactly.
	It doesn't have to go out of the box.
	But, you know, first off, how long do you think Donald Trump can be president?
	I think he'll be president for eight years.
	Yeah.
	I'm going to say people thought he would never be president.
	Even after the events of this week?
	Absolutely.
	Okay.
	How about we have...
	I love the laughter.
	These people are so in their own, well, universe.
	A gentleman's bed, 100 rubles.
	There you go.
	That's the anti-John.
	100 rubles.
	That'll make him chuckle.
	And I'm not saying that because you're of Russian heritage.
	I don't think you're a Russian spy.
	I think there are plenty of dumb Americans.
	I don't mean you're dumb either.
	But I think there are plenty of Americans who support Donald Trump and they think they're doing the right thing.
	Okay.
	Well, it's nice to see you.
	Come on.
	You're telling me that you think Donald Trump will be there until January 19th, 2025.
	Yes.
	And here's why.
	Gentlemen's bet, he's out by Christmas.
	This Christmas?
	Yeah!
	You have to send me that clip.
	I think I can close a bet with that.
	Yes, 100 rubles.
	Out by Christmas.
	Uh-huh.
	Wow!
	Okay, now these people are deluded.
	Yeah.
	Now where this comes from, I was watching C-SPAN, and I was going to use this clip later after maybe playing a couple of other clips because it kind of explains a lot.
	But we got to roll it out now, apparently.
	Well, after that, that's insanity.
	Yeah.
	And this guy's a brain expert, and he wrote a book.
	I got his notes.
	Even though he's also kind of a Trumpeter, but his name is...
	Robert Sapolsky, and he wrote this new book that just came out called Behave, the Biology of Humans.
	Oh, that should be an interesting book.
	And so he talks about the amygdala and the frontal cortex.
	The amygdala is kind of the reptilian brain, and then the frontal cortex is the judgment part of your book, which says, I don't think I'm going to...
	Oh, man, this is the kind of stuff that would be perfect for the brain professor.
	Too bad he won't talk to me anymore.
	The frontal cortex is the executive, and it says, no, you're not going to go there.
	You're not going to make stupid bets.
	You're not going to do anything like a bet that trumps out before Christmas.
	No stupid bets.
	That's that function of the...
	It's one of the functions of the thing.
	Although I made a bet.
	One of our producers wrote in and said, hey, I'm at the Preakness.
	I said, put $10 win, place, and show on cloud computing for the show.
	And you won!
	I don't know.
	I don't know if he ever put the bet down.
	I think with Cloud Computing won, didn't it?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	What a great name for a horse.
	I know.
	I thought so.
	Cloud Computing.
	But my frontal cortex is in good shape, and I want to remind people that listen to this show.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa.
	How do you know your frontal cortex is in great shape?
	Because when I play this clip, you'll realize why.
	Because I'm not under a lot of stress because I voted for Hillary or I still want Hillary to be president.
	This is causing problems for people's frontal cortex and is making them unhealthy and stupid and making judgment problems.
	It really screws up your judgment, hence what we just witnessed with Bill Maher.
	Let's play this clip.
	This is Brain Under Stress.
	And this has now entered the realm of neuroplasticity, the fact that the brain can change in response to experience.
	And for example, if you've now just spent these last few months mired in trauma and stress, your amygdala will have grown larger.
	It will have formed new connections.
	The circuits there will be more excitable and your frontal cortex will have become more sluggish and atrophied.
	In other words, at that critical moment, the amygdala is in a more hysterical hyperreactive state and the frontal cortex has much of that much less capacity to get there in time and say, wait a second.
	Are you sure before you pull the trigger there, you can see that changing?
	Wow.
	It's the wise decision to vote on or bet on cloud computing as opposed to bet on that Trump's out by Christmas because my frontal cortex and most of the listeners of our show who have been calmed down by the show are in much better shape.
	Physical health and mental hygiene.
	Yes.
	But there is a solution to this.
	It's simple.
	Amygdaectomy.
	That's all we need.
	Amygdaectomy.
	Actually, they've done that.
	They've done those tests that was discussed also.
	And it makes it so you have zero fear about anything.
	You just walk off a cliff.
	I need to...
	You need to send me a link to that full thing.
	That was on C-SPAN, you said.
	Yeah, it was on C-SPAN. I have to find that and send it to the brain professor.
	I said, well, you send this link.
	I want the whole thing.
	I just don't want to go back and forth on topics.
	We might as well play the only other clip I have, which is a very interesting clip, on oxytocin, which he also discussed.
	Is it oxytocin or oxycontin?
	I'm not sure now.
	Oxytocin.
	What is oxytocin?
	It's an enzyme.
	It's not an enzyme, but it's a...
	Hormone.
	And it is used, you can buy it over the counter on Amazon.
	It's the love drug.
	Spanish fly?
	If you look it up on, no.
	It's like an ecstasy effect.
	If you look it up on Amazon, you can read about it there, or you can read about it anywhere.
	You can read about it in the wiki.
	But the idea was you take a little nasal inhalant, you meet up with somebody, you both take a shot at this, you fall in love.
	Or at least you're amenable.
	At least you can put up with each other.
	One of the group.
	But the modern research with this stuff, which has been called all sorts of things, has got a little twist at the end, which I think is definitely worth knowing about.
	And this is the oxytocin story.
	It's officially the grooviest hormone on earth because oxytocin is by now famous.
	It causes bonding between mothers and infants and pair bonding between monogamous couples.
	And it makes you more expressive and emotionally sensitive and more cooperative and more charitable and more trusting.
	I need to get me some of this stuff.
	There's a whole new horrifying field of neuroscience called neuromarketing.
	Where if you spritz oxytocin up people's noses, they're more likely to believe all sorts of gibberish and nonsense.
	Oh my God, this is fantastic, John!
	Oh my!
	I got it.
	Over the counter, you said.
	I'm on Amazon.
	Go ahead.
	I believe all sorts of gibberish and nonsense of people trying to sell you stuff, whether it's their political viewpoint or some gigaw.
	I mean, if they could spray oxytocin through the vents in, like, Costco all over this country, what that would do to the economy of, like, sort of the nonsense that people would buy.
	Okay, so oxytocin promotes pro-social behavior.
	Until you look more closely.
	And what recent work shows is that's exactly what oxytocin does.
	It makes you much more cooperative and generous and charitable and all of that with people who you categorize as being just like you.
	It makes you more pro-social towards in-group members.
	And when it comes to out-group members, it makes people more xenophobic and more preemptively aggressive.
	Ah.
	And this was a group in the Netherlands where they got their usual sort of lab rats, which was college volunteers from some, like, university there.
	Stoned lab rats.
	And what they did was they gave everyone this standard classic problem in philosophy, the runaway trolley problem.
	Is it okay to sacrifice one person, push them in front of a runaway trolley to save five?
	And there's a whole world of research done on that.
	So they sort of established the baseline levels at which people would be willing to push somebody to save five.
	Now what they did was they gave the person they were pushing onto the track a name.
	A third of the time, the person would get a name that apparently is just like your stereotypical Dutch name, Dirk or Peter or something like that.
	A third of the time, or the remainder of the time, either of the two groups of people in Holland tend to have a lot of out-group hostility towards.
	Germans, oh that's right, World War II, or people with Muslim names.
	So now you've got the scenario, do you push Dirk in front of the trolley?
	Do you push Otto in front of the trolley?
	Do you push Mahmood in front of the trolley?
	Mahmood!
	Give people oxytocin, and they're less likely to sacrifice Dirk, whereas they can't leap fast enough to push Wolfgang and Amud there under the tracks.
	Oxytocin doesn't make us nicer.
	It makes us nicer to people we're already predisposed towards being nice to.
	It exaggerates us-them contrasts.
	All right.
	We might as well just go home.
	That's it.
	It's done.
	It's obvious.
	I know what's happening.
	Chemtrail.
	Hello!
	Finally!
	That's what it is.
	They're shooting oxytocin into the air, and this is the result.
	I'm wondering whether...
	Yeah, well, that's not it.
	But I'm wondering whether or not...
	How many people buy the stuff from Amazon who are liberals versus people who buy the stuff from Amazon who are...
	Conservatives, and I'm guessing that if anybody would, because it's the love drug, it would be liberals, and this would just make it worse, because they already hate conservative people.
	They won't even listen to Rush Limbaugh, for example.
	They won't listen to him.
	I wonder how much of this is going on because I think it's an element.
	And I think it's an element of also the Amygdala story.
	It's an element of that woman that you played on the show that was screaming her head off like a maniac.
	And we got some letters on that.
	Some guy's dozing off.
	He says he woke up, freaked out.
	Everyone kind of liked it though.
	Oh yeah, I loved it.
	That was surprising to me that you loved it.
	We have a special mix of that actually later.
	It's about time.
	Let's take a look at the Amazon reviews for a moment.
	I just ordered it.
	Pure Oxytocin Accelerator 1 ounce nasal spray.
	For adults only...
	Let's see what the reviews are.
	It must be reviews.
	Yes, here we go.
	Okay.
	I'm a researcher with a master's in pharmaceutical bioengineering from the University of Washington, holding access to state-of-the-art bio labs.
	When I received the package, I analyzed it via an ELISA assay, as well as an NMR assay.
	The ELISA was negative for oxytocin.
	The MMR was consistent with tap water.
	So he's saying it's not even in there.
	Oh, the reviews are...
	Oh, I have to unorder this.
	The reviews are all one star?
	Let me see if there's a five star.
	It's a couple of five stars here.
	Let's see.
	Great product.
	Helps.
	I don't know.
	Do you think this is the real deal?
	Well, from that one guy who did the analysis, I'd say no.
	No, no.
	Let's see.
	I would unorder.
	There may be some real deal on there somewhere, but if that guy did what he said, and it's just a big tap water, it's a placebo, which wouldn't surprise me, by the way, a lot of these.
	Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me at all.
	Let's see.
	Let's check if there's another one.
	Here's another one.
	Let me see.
	Well, you got a few minutes to unorder it.
	You should unorder it now.
	Yeah.
	But I'm going to order this one because this has good reviews.
	This is the OxyLove Oxytocin Nasal Spray.
	No unnatural preservatives or fillers.
	In other words, water.
	I'm just going to get them all.
	I'll try them all.
	You know, I do that for the show.
	Yeah.
	This is great news.
	I would drop the other one because you're giving these guys money for selling water.
	I think it's irresponsible.
	You're right.
	I've dropped it.
	Let me just click it off here.
	Okay.
	Good.
	Done.
	Taken care of.
	Wow, that's interesting, John.
	Adam Curry arrested for getting into a fight with a black man.
	What?
	Oh, yeah.
	After I take the oxytocin, you mean?
	Yeah.
	Not so sure.
	Gosh, I don't know where to go from that, because when you take that into account, who knows where this stuff is being spread?
	Well, that and the amygdala issue with people that are all tense and upset because Hillary didn't win, and they're still that way to this minute.
	Yes.
	We have a societal problem here.
	Yeah, but one that we may be sabotaged.
	There's that too.
	I make a joke about the chemtrails.
	Clearly, I'm just joking.
	But I will say that in Australia, the organization PaxVax have applied for, and it looks like they are going to receive permission to spray a...
	Let's see, which vaccine is it?
	It's the vaccine for...
	I think it's West Nile.
	No.
	There's no vaccine for that.
	What the hell was it?
	Cholera.
	There it is.
	Paxvax.
	They say they have a modified live bacterial vaccine against cholera.
	It doesn't seem like a good thing to be spraying around.
	Well, if they're going to do that, I'm sure if you look at the thing in its entirety, you'd discover that These are ideas to be applied by crop dusters.
	You can't drop it.
	No, you can't do it at chemtrails.
	I understand that.
	But it would be spread like in New York or the West Nile virus they sprayed as well.
	Yeah, you could crop dust the whole town and what are they going to do about it?
	Yeah, but it's a little different to be spreading a live cholera virus.
	It's attenuated.
	It's attenuated.
	Of course, the attenuated virus was, I think, the early polio pioneers were confronted with attenuated polio viruses that weren't attenuated enough.
	Right, right, right.
	Which is the problem.
	I'd like to just kill everybody.
	Well, try it on New York first and then we'll see how it rolls out later.
	I'd like to get back to Comey for just a second since we got him here.
	The most recent kind of meme that came out over the weekend was really Dimension B type stuff about...
	Well, here's the report from MSNBC. Benjamin Wittes recounting the day of that now famous public embrace between Comey and the president at a...
	Who's Benjamin Wittes?
	I have no idea, but I'll mention...
	He's the guy that's been on the circuit.
	I've seen him a couple times.
	But let's stop right there because I was watching this clip and I watched it twice.
	This embrace.
	Did you see this?
	There's no embrace.
	No, no, zero.
	Well, let's just listen to the story.
	I thought you got a big bear hug.
	Let's listen to the story and then we can deconstruct.
	It makes more sense to listen to the dumbness first.
	Benjamin Wittes recounting the day of that now famous public embrace between Comey and the president at a White House reception shortly after the inauguration.
	If you watch the video, he extends his hand, and Comey's arms are really long, and he extends his hand kind of preemptively, and Trump grabs the hand and kind of pulls him into a hug, but the hug is entirely one-sided.
	He's standing there trying to blend in with the curtains with his blue suit.
	And he's on the other side of the room, too.
	He gets his four away from Donald Trump, as he possibly can.
	And he's standing there just hoping he won't get called on.
	And he thinks he's almost made it through the ceremony.
	And then Trump looks up and says, and there's Jim.
	And it goes in and shakes his hand and then an awkward hug.
	Comey was just completely disgusted by the episode.
	He thought it was an intentional attempt to compromise him in public.
	This is insane.
	This is really insane.
	Because when you look at the video, first of all, the idea that Comey apparently even told or wrote, I was hiding to try and blend into the curtains.
	The guy's six foot eight.
	Well, there's another issue that keeps being ignored, and you just did it again.
	He's standing right in front of the president.
	He is in this...
	There's a big circle and the president's talking.
	The president's talking right...
	If he stands straight forward, he's talking right at Comey.
	Comey's right in the middle of the group.
	I'm not ignoring that.
	He was in front of the blue curtains right in the middle of the group.
	Yes, he wasn't hiding in the curtains.
	Now, if he was behind the curtain and his head was...
	No, no.
	No, no, I don't think that was ever said.
	He was trying to blend in with his blue suit into the blue curtains.
	That is what is being said.
	Well, no, the other thing that was said that was bull crap was he was as far away as possible.
	He was on the other side of the circle.
	Right, straight ahead.
	Yeah.
	Now, if he wanted to do something so he wouldn't get noticed so much, he would be over on the side.
	We're arguing about something that is completely senseless.
	It does not matter.
	People in dimension A see one way and dimension B see the other way.
	They're never going to see that.
	I saw it with my own eyes, they will say.
	He stood as far away as possible.
	He was trying to blend into the blue curtains.
	And I've seen some hugs coming from Europe.
	I know when handshakes turning into hugs or kisses on the cheek go wrong or wrong side.
	None of that.
	He pulled them over to whisper something into his ear.
	Exactly.
	There was nothing about a hug or anything.
	There was no hug at all.
	But it will never be seen by people who cannot straddle and only live in one dimension.
	They cannot see it.
	And you know why?
	Yes, chemtrails!
	No, the amygdala has swollen up.
	It's making new connections.
	And the smart part of the brain, the frontal cortex, is shrinking.
	Shrinking.
	Jeez.
	I got a great example of that.
	Uh...
	Our pal, Maxine Waters.
	This, I think, is the quintessential MSNBC interview.
	You've probably seen it.
	A lot of people have seen this already.
	It's about two minutes.
	And I think it's one of the street reporters from the Morning Joe show.
	Maybe when Mika and Joe are fighting in the back, then the panel takes over a little bit.
	Has Maxine Waters on.
	And it's just like the previous time.
	The guy keeps...
	I want to define what you mean by collusion, because what you're talking about...
	We should probably stop.
	What is the definition of collusion?
	Consult the Book of Knowledge.
	I'm going to consult the Book of Knowledge.
	Collusion is where two people get together and make an agreement.
	All right, secret or illegal...
	Wait, let's get the Merriam-Webster.
	That's the one we always like.
	That's our choice, yes.
	Yes, secret agreement or cooperation, especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose, acting in collusion with the enemy.
	And what I like about this clip...
	Obviously, it's Maxine Waters, and she's nuts.
	This is the true Washington nut job.
	She's sincere about it, which makes it better.
	Yes.
	But what she deems collusion, this is the right question.
	That is what is, you know, we need a word for it.
	Should we say enlarged amygdala?
	Amygdala-itis?
	We need a word for it.
	You know, we need...
	I want to define what you mean by collusion because what you're talking about seems more circumstantial to me.
	Bank records, perhaps contacts that were of nebulous nature.
	Who knows why Flynn was talking to the Russian ambassador.
	It could have been, it seems to have been about sanctions.
	Collusion to me is very specific.
	It means that the Russian government or actors within were trying to elect Donald Trump.
	But I want to know what collusion means to you because that seems to be the standard by which you're saying he should be impeached.
	Yes, absolutely.
	I am talking about strategies that were developed working with the Trump campaign.
	I really do believe that much of what you saw coming out of Trump's mouth was a play from Putin's playbook.
	It should be page from Putin's playbook, Maxine, not play from the playbook.
	You saw coming out of Trump's mouth was a play from Putin's playbook.
	I think that when you saw him absolutely calling Hillary crooked, lock her up, lock her up, all of that was developed.
	I think that was developed strategically with people from the Kremlin, with Putin, and I think it's more than bank records.
	So they had a meeting, probably a webinar, and hey, Donald, good to see you.
	We have some very good ideas.
	We have some good slogans that only Russians can come up with, like lock it up.
	This is very funny here in Russia.
	Sure, Maxine.
	I think that you can see that visits, you know, to Moscow were made during the campaign by Manafort and others.
	I think it's a lot more absolute.
	So you think the Russian government developed the talking points for the Trump campaign?
	The strategy and the tactics.
	I think that there was a cooperation in developing strategy about how they could ensure that Hillary Clinton was not elected.
	They need Trump.
	Trump will be there to support lifting those sanctions.
	That's what they really want to happen.
	They want to drill in the Arctic.
	Tillerson has negotiated a multi-billion dollar deal with Exxon to do that drilling.
	They can't get the equipment, the supplies, and all that they need until the sanctions are lifted.
	They want Trump.
	Not only will he support...
	What do you think she exactly means by that?
	Is she saying that ExxonMobil, the U.S. version department, can't get to the Arctic without Russia?
	Or that Exxon wants to drill on Russia's...
	Arctic turf?
	I'm a little confused about it.
	I believe, and this is just from...
	I didn't study this by any means, but Exxon and Russia did a deal, and the only reason they would do a deal is to share resources, and they want to drill, and again, I believe, this is the Russian...
	I mean, Russia's got all the resources.
	They got tons of oil, but they need help to get it out of the ground because they don't have all the necessary modern technologies to do it, or the equipment.
	And I think that's what she's talking about.
	I think she's probably...
	I like her logic, even though it's convoluted.
	It actually makes some sense in Dimension B, and it actually makes a little sense in the middle.
	Well, if your amygdala is the size of a football, yeah.
	Not only will he support lifting those sanctions, he also will turn a blind eye to the expansion that Putin is trying to do.
	He does not care about them having to invade Crimea.
	I love this.
	She's so confused.
	The expansion.
	You're not afraid of him invading the Crimea?
	She means Ukraine, which is not the Ukraine.
	It's Ukraine.
	But she says she...
	Well, no, I think she is referring to Crimea.
	Yes.
	Because the Russians took over Crimea.
	Right.
	But when she says, oh, I see what you're saying, because when she says the Crimea.
	The Crimea.
	I'm just ant-fucking.
	We'll turn a blind eye to the expansion that Putin is trying to do.
	He does not care about them having invaded Crimea, and he does not care whether or not this egotistical maniac Putin is attempting to reunite the whole...
	I know we need to go soon, but just to be clear, there hasn't been no actual evidence yet No, it has not been.
	No, it has not.
	And I want you to know, every time I've talked about impeachment, I've said, we've got to connect the dots.
	We've got to get the facts.
	We've got to do the investigation.
	That is what leads to impeachment.
	And I also said that Trump will lead us right there.
	All right.
	Thanks, Maxine.
	I have from the war room, the Treasury Department, and this is from April 21st, said Friday that it would not issue any waivers to U.S. companies, including ExxonMobil, seeking to do oil and gas drilling with Russia in violation of current economic sanctions.
	So that is...
	Oh, in a statement that mentioned the company by name, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, a fine Tourette's sufferer, T.S., said his department had made its decision in consultation with President Donald J. Trump.
	Well, how about them apples, then?
	Well, she's off her butt.
	Their amygdala is huge!
	Let's go back to Bill Maher with Boris Epstein.
	Another word, and I looked this one up because when you talk about collusion, it's interesting that Maxine feels collusion is coming up with the strategies to, say, lock her up.
	And what was the other one?
	Hillary's a crook.
	These are all very, very good.
	We should have Russia writing speeches for everybody.
	They're great.
	We should have Russia.
	Russia doing jingles for the show.
	Yeah!
	They should be doing the show.
	Oh, wait.
	We're already Putin-sponsored.
	What am I saying?
	This is about the word meddling.
	Meddled.
	Why unsubscribe?
	But shouldn't...
	Okay, since we're not going to agree on the part that isn't completely now nailed down by law enforcement, let's just go to the part that's incontrovertible, which is that the Russians meddled in the election.
	All 17 of our intelligence agencies say that.
	And I really, this already got me because the correct answer is, well, all 17 agencies said with high confidence.
	One of them wasn't even high confidence.
	Yes, one of them was not high confidence.
	And which one was not high confidence?
	NSA? NSA. They were not high confidence.
	And, well, let's listen here.
	You would agree to that, right?
	Well, come on.
	So we can get into the back and forth, into the minutiae of that letter you're talking about?
	No, letter.
	All 17 agencies have said Russia did.
	So do you think the president didn't win the election?
	Now, that was the incorrect response.
	The only correct response to this, which will not help your case, from when dimension A and B clash, is, yes, it's the same 17 agencies who had high confidence in weapons of mass destruction.
	It won't get you anywhere, but that is the only possible answer.
	Not, do you believe the president won?
	Which, when you listen to it, Marr does.
	But it's the meddling.
	It's the meddling.
	So do you think the president didn't win the election?
	No.
	Answer my question first.
	Whose side are you on?
	I'm on America's side.
	Okay, but then all of our intelligence agents just say this.
	You don't back them up?
	So there's a special counsel, and the special counsel will come out with an answer, and I'm confident that it'll show that there was, just like the president said, no collusion.
	Now, whether Russia tried to measure it, you have to ask Russia.
	I specifically said this is not collusion question.
	Ooh, enlarge the amygdala question.
	This is the part that's not controversial.
	So this is the middle question.
	Meddling.
	Russia meddled in our election.
	Please just admit that.
	You'd have to ask Russia whether they're Trump.
	Oh, for fuck's sake.
	How would I know?
	Okay, but then you're, like your boy Trump, you're saying you don't believe our intelligence.
	I like how your boy Trump...
	Boy, Trump, you're saying you don't believe our intelligence agencies.
	No, what I'm saying is this.
	Well, you don't.
	Let me answer this.
	This is what they say.
	The president won the election fair and square.
	That's not the point or the question.
	Whether there was an attempt at meddling, again, how would I know?
	Because our intelligence agencies, all of them, say there was.
	Yes, you question the CIA? Okay.
	Well, see Boris, this is why we are having a problem.
	Well, what's the so what?
	Because I can't even get you to come to the place that all people, including the Republicans, agree is the fact that Russia did meddle in our election.
	Well, it's not quite agreed as a fact, but was there a secret attempt to meddle in it?
	It is a fact.
	It is settled science.
	The science is in!
	Science!
	That was a shaggy dog story.
	But we nailed it.
	You did.
	Meddling.
	Definition of meddle, according to Merriam-Webster.
	To interest oneself in what is not one's concern.
	Interfere without right or propriety.
	Now, I would say this is a contradiction in terms.
	I agree.
	For it is definitely in Russia's interest and their concern who was President of the United States.
	Therefore...
	It's not meddling.
	It's not meddling.
	It is their concern.
	And I would say, by the same token, when the State Department under Hillary Clinton attempted to discredit Putin's election, that was also not meddling.
	No, because we had an interest.
	Ah, you're right.
	That wasn't meddling either.
	See, this is an example of the bloated frontal cortex that just thinks clearly.
	Yes, because my amygdala is like...
	That's because you're not under stress from this election.
	My amygdala hasn't even dropped yet, I'm telling you.
	Oh, wait, there's something else.
	It doesn't do much for your sense of humor, but it does make you very logical.
	It does a lot of positive things.
	Now, there was something in there.
	I was trying to think, what was it?
	There was something confusing.
	Oh, yeah, I want to make this point, which is that the Russia meddling and whatever it was, I don't believe...
	I'm still on the Seth Grogan, no, the Seth Rich.
	Another guy named Seth, by the way.
	Seth Rich.
	So Seth is in that same age group.
	Seth the Rich who was murdered.
	I do have a clip of a guy reading from some chat room about Seth Rich.
	And the reason I want to bring this up is because I don't think the Russians had anything to do with the DNC hacks.
	I never thought they did.
	I don't know.
	I don't think you ever thought they did.
	And I'm very annoyed by people who are now taking it as fact that they did.
	It's science.
	And this includes Rush Limbaugh.
	Oh, really?
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Rush Limbaugh is all in on the idea.
	He's fine with it, but he's all in with it.
	The meddling or the hacking?
	The hacking.
	He's all in with the hacking, which I think is a huge mistake.
	Zero conclusive evidence of that.
	And I just want to remind people that the DNC and the DNCC... Didn't ask the FBI to look?
	Right, and they would not give up the machines when they were asked to give them up so they could look.
	Yeah.
	So these machines were untouched.
	This cannot be 100% 17 agencies all agreeing if they haven't touched that server.
	Yeah, they were just agreeing on something vague.
	It was kind of a rigged question.
	They weren't really agreeing on anything meaningful.
	But let's read or listen to this guy as a podcaster, reading the content from the chat board.
	This could all be bullcrap.
	I would like one of our doctors, we have plenty, to go over the jargon that this guy throws out and try to give us an impression if this guy's actually a doctor or That wrote the note.
	Or if it was an intern or just full of crap, this thing is bullcrap.
	It's interesting enough that I think it should be played.
	And who is this that I'm playing?
	Seth Rich.
	Anonymous report.
	A person on something called BoardNet and within BoardNet on something called forward slash Paul forward slash posted the following last Wednesday, May 17th.
	I am a fourth-year surgery resident here who rotated from WHC Washington Hospital Center last year.
	It won't be hard to identify me, but I feel that I shouldn't stay silent.
	Seth Rich was shot twice with three total gunshot wounds, entry and exit and entry.
	He was taken to the OR emergency where we performed an X-lap and found a small injury to segment 3 of the liver, which was packed, and several small bowel injuries, pretty common for gunshots in the back exiting the abdomen, which we resected.
	12 centimeters of bowel and left him in discontinuity.
	Didn't hook everything back up.
	With the intent of performing a washout in the morning.
	He did not have any major vascular injuries or otherwise.
	I've seen dozens of worse cases than this, which survived, and nothing about his injuries suggested to me that he'd sustained a fatal wound.
	In the meantime, he was transferred to the ICU and transfused two units of blood when his post-surgery crit came back at minus 20.
	He was stable and not on any pressors, and it seemed pretty routine.
	About eight hours after he arrived, we were sworn by LEOs, law enforcement officers.
	And pretty much everyone except the attending physician and a few nurses was kicked out of the ICU. It was weird as hell.
	At turnover, change of shift, that morning we were instructed not to make rounds on the VIP that came in last night.
	That's exactly what the attending said, and no one except me and another resident had any idea who he was talking about.
	No one here was allowed to see Seth except for my attending physician when he died.
	No code was called.
	I rounded on patients literally next door, but was physically blocked from checking in on him.
	I've never seen anything like it before, and while I can't say 100% that he was allowed to die, I don't understand why he was treated like that.
	I'm just one low-level doc.
	Something's fishy though, that's for sure.
	Okay, this is...
	BoardNet is 4chan, pretty much.
	So I'm taking this...
	I know this guy.
	He's a YouTube podcaster.
	A U-caster.
	Yeah.
	He's not up there with Jenna Marbles, but, you know, he's got some good...
	No, he's no Jenna Marbles.
	But he's just reading.
	I just thought he'd do that.
	Yeah, but it's...
	It's probably...
	It could be bullcrap, but then again...
	I love how...
	It's iffy.
	Yeah, okay.
	Sure.
	Fishy.
	He said fishy.
	Fishy.
	Well, the war room is saying iffy.
	And they all read, not all, but a lot of them look at 4chan.
	This is like those FBI guys who show up on 4chan.
	Oh, yeah.
	I said I'd like to hear from a doctor telling me about the jargon and what they think, what kind of a person could put something like this together.
	Sounded like credible jargon in the beginning there, for sure, about what happened.
	There should be an autopsy.
	We should not.
	Look, it wouldn't surprise me.
	And Comey, I want to say, I think he's also on Hillary's hit list.
	And there's some confirmation.
	Why?
	Oh, you think so?
	Just because of his gaffe?
	Well, here is a clip from Trey Gowdy.
	Trey Gowdy is an attorney.
	He's been...
	A representative for, what, five or six years?
	And there was a lot of talk of, oh, maybe he would be a great FBI director.
	A lot of Republicans I know.
	Oh, yeah, this is it.
	Trey Gowdy is the perfect guy.
	I'll just say the current thinking is it's going to go to Newton Gingrich.
	But I've also heard Joe Lieberman.
	I've heard Joe Lieberman, too, which makes zero sense to me.
	No, it should be a woman.
	And you watch.
	It's going to be a woman.
	Just to mess with everybody's head.
	Could be.
	But before we get there, Trey Gowdy, he refused.
	He said, I'm not appropriate for this gig.
	And it's not just because he thinks he doesn't get confirmed and can't get confirmed.
	Listen to this conversation.
	One thing we're left with still in all of this is an empty seat at the head of the FBI. And your name was on that short list.
	You asked for it to be taken off.
	Why?
	Why do you think you're not the right person for that job?
	I think the country can do better than me, quite frankly.
	I did have 20 years in a courtroom, Martha.
	That's the best job I've ever had.
	But the reality is, in this current political environment, I am known more for being asked to chair one committee than I am the 20 years I spent in a courtroom.
	And my first rule of friendship is don't ask friends to do things that are not in their best interest.
	And the Senate confirmation process would be dreadful and it'd be miserable.
	And quite frankly, I think the country deserves a woman or a man who is devoid of political taint.
	Taint.
	He said taint.
	Taint.
	It was devoid of political taint.
	And whether I like it or not, whether I wish I could wash it off or not, I have been in politics for six years.
	I think I could be fair, but I don't know that I could get the job, and I don't know that I could convince a sufficient number of my fellow citizens that I would be fair.
	And quite frankly, they deserve an FBI director that is above reproach.
	Was that news conference enough in and of itself to let him go, do you think?
	No, and I think when history knows the full fact pattern that led Director Comey to have that July news conference, I think what your viewers know is a meeting on the tarmac between the spouse of the suspect or the target of an investigation and the Attorney General.
	What your viewers don't know, Martha, and what Jim Comey frankly can't tell them because it's classified, and I can't tell them because it's classified, there were a lot of other reasons that Jim Comey decided to take that decision upon himself.
	And I think history, and I've had plenty of differences with Jim Comey.
	I want to be really clear about that.
	Lots of them.
	But I think history is going to be much kinder to Jim Comey in that July press conference than the Democrats were when he had it.
	I think he had access to information that because he is a stand-up guy and he's not going to disseminate classified information, although God knows everybody else is, he's not going to do it, even if it casts him in a negative light.
	So all your viewers see is this meeting on the tarmac.
	Jim Comey had access to additional information that I am convinced left him with no other choice than to make the decision he made in July.
	So you're saying he had no choice?
	There was pressure on him to not prosecute Hillary Clinton?
	Is that what you're suggesting?
	No, I think he had access to information and he wanted to safeguard the integrity of the investigation and the integrity of the process.
	And I probably ought to just leave it right there.
	I think he wanted the public to have confidence.
	He had access to information that your viewers don't have, and they may not ever have because it is classified.
	But trust me when I tell you this, Martha, I know what it was.
	And I have been a critic of Jim Comey in the past.
	But he made the only decision he could have made with respect to appropriating that decision away from the Department of Justice and making the decision himself.
	And history will be a hell of a lot kinder to him than the Democrats were at the time.
	I only take away from that that you're suggesting that there were more entanglements between the Clintons and perhaps the Justice Department than everyone understands.
	You're very perceptive.
	Okay.
	Thank you.
	Classified!
	Yeah!
	Wow.
	There you go.
	There you go.
	That's good stuff.
	Yeah.
	And so it kind of puts Comey back in the light of, he damned if you do, damned if you don't.
	Yeah, so he quit.
	If anything, he...
	That's the way he said he made a bunch of comments because he's glad to quit.
	He almost said that.
	Yeah.
	He just doesn't like this nut job stuff and all the other crazy things that, you know...
	I don't even know if the nutjob thing's true, but it's funny.
	At least it's funny.
	How could we possibly know?
	I like Trump's tweet, though.
	Did you see that?
	Which one?
	He said, I never called Jim Comey a nutjob, that nutjob, something like that.
	I never called that nutjob Jim Comey a nutjob in the meeting with the Russians.
	It was something to that.
	Oh, okay.
	That's his idea of humor.
	Yeah.
	Now, how about this for a name?
	How about this for a name?
	I'm going to put this in there.
	A name, okay.
	A name, a name.
	Bratton.
	Bratton?
	Bratton.
	Bratton.
	Who's that again?
	Bratton's the guy who cleaned up New York City.
	Bratton's the guy who went to Los Angeles and became chief of police.
	Bratton's the guy who went to Boston and cleaned up or didn't clean up anything.
	But Bratton's like Giuliani's boy.
	Yeah.
	Interesting.
	Interesting choice.
	Bratton.
	And Bratton's very political, but he's also a non-partisan.
	He's not like a Democrat or Republican, you can tell.
	And he's a big name.
	Big man on campus.
	He's a BMOC. BMOC. Well, none of this sits well with the media.
	Yeah, and Matt Lauer really identified it and said it properly because he's in on Operation Mockingbird.
	Appointing a special counsel, good news, bad news, I think, for Democrats.
	On the one hand, it ramps up the pressure on the White House.
	On the other hand, if you're a Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee or Senate Intelligence Committee, you wanted a lot of key witnesses to come in and raise their right hand in public hearings, and you wanted to drive headlines with that.
	You have less of an ability to do that.
	Yeah, no, I think they were counting on having some of these highly public hearings, and it looks like a lot of it's going to play out behind the scenes right now.
	I like how I said, well, you can't drive headlines, because you can't hand it to us to drive the headlines.
	You can't drive headlines.
	Thanks, Matt Lauer.
	Chill.
	Yeah, no.
	Yeah, no.
	See, I almost cut that out, because if I leave that in, you'll get distracted, you'll yell, yeah, no, and then you won't hear the actual piece that the clip was about.
	And I was correct.
	I should have known that.
	It's from having an enlarged frontal cortex.
	Because I'm so relaxed, my amygdala is almost missing.
	Here, you do have a clip, since you're talking about media, let's might as well play Cohen.
	Again, I say I get the three Cohen clips.
	Yeah.
	They're like the three Cohen brothers.
	Yeah.
	Alter and female now.
	On the media.
	The Foreign Policy magazine is reporting that NATO is reworking its usual discussion format to suit Trump's, quote, short attention span, asking halves of states to limit statements to four minutes.
	How ridiculous is this?
	I mean, isn't the President of the United States the President of the United States and not a child?
	Sophie, Fortunately, you live in Russia, and you're spared some of this media stuff.
	I just saw what I think is the cover of the New Time magazine.
	It used to be a very, very popular magazine, less so today, but it's seen.
	And the cover has a drawing of the White House.
	That has been turned half into the Kremlin.
	So they've merged the Kremlin and the White House.
	And this is the motif that there's some kind of Putin-Trump axis in the White House, which New York Times columnists write about all the time.
	So what's published in Foreign Policy magazine ought not to be taken seriously.
	Scarcely anything in the mainstream media today can be taken at face value.
	Everybody has to study for his or herself in America today.
	And that meets this thing to the No Agenda show.
	Yes, and looking at the cover, which I had not seen, I'm glad to see that some No Agenda artists are working outside of the show.
	This is a total No Agenda art project.
	Total.
	It's funny.
	That could have been one of our guys.
	It's funny for our show, but on Time Magazine, you know, following these same old memes, again, from the shrunken frontal cortex.
	Who gives a crap about Time Magazine?
	Make these decisions.
	Well, that's true.
	Who gives a crap?
	The thing was about Foreign Policy Magazine.
	I think it was funny that he trashed it.
	Yeah.
	I did want to say, I think I sent you a text message.
	By rare exception.
	On Netflix, the documentary Get Me Roger Stone is a must watch.
	So I go to this event in San Francisco.
	It's one of these little small mini trade shows that this guy puts on.
	And I go to this thing and he comes up to me, John Pepper.
	And he comes up to me and says, you've got to see the documentary Get Me Roger Stone.
	This guy's not even political.
	And I said, huh, look at the second guy that's promoting this thing, and he gives me a long story, but I have not yet sat down to watch it, but...
	I'm assuming it's dynamite.
	Well, it's very similar to how the Adam Curtis documentary, Hyper Normalization, how it gives you a lot more context, in that case, about Libya.
	When you look at this history of Roger Stone, which I knew very little about, I would say I had never even heard of him until Alex Jones had him on regularly, and I still didn't really know his history or the context.
	It's very interesting what he's done, and when you hear him, I think it was 19...
	Well, no, there's a couple of things that he's doing.
	So the Make America Great Again, completely said by Reagan.
	It's just a 100% Reagan copy.
	I didn't know that.
	Reagan said this multiple times.
	I'm going to make America great again.
	It's like, whoa, okay.
	And there's all these things that are taken.
	Roger Stone is really all over Donald Trump.
	And Stone is a very interesting character.
	Very interesting.
	Back to Goldwater days.
	We're talking about this idea that, again, this will be my last one, of doing a callback on what we just talked about.
	Cohen, again, brings up something you just said, which is Trump didn't invent Make America Great Again.
	He just kind of said it and made a hat.
	He made a hat.
	That's what he did.
	Well, looking at the documentary, I would say that was very planned, and it looks like Roger Stone planned it.
	I think a lot of things were planned with Trump, and I think one of the things, yes, that's not something Trump would dream up, I agree.
	No.
	But this is an interesting kind of an analysis of the NATO thing, when Trump said, well, we should rethink NATO and do all that sort of thing.
	Cohen brought something that is just one of those head slappers.
	It's like, Cohen, when Sophie brought this up, what about NATO? He's going to bail on NATO. And Cohen makes the simple assertion, this is hardly a new idea.
	This is all they've ever been talking about since 1991.
	Why is Trump a bad guy?
	Coming up next week, the president's previous statements about NATO's irrelevance had alliance members on edge.
	Do you expect something new to come out of the summit?
	No, that's repair.
	That's another example of bogus allegations against Trump.
	I mean, if you wanted to ask me about the scandal involving General Flynn, that may be the silliest part of the whole thing.
	But all Trump said...
	Was, I wonder if NATO is obsolete.
	Well, Sophie, since the end of the Soviet Union in 1991, that has been a regular discussion topic in Washington at every think tank in Washington.
	People have said, what's the mission of NATO when the Soviet Union no longer exists?
	And NATO found a new mission, didn't it?
	Expanding toward Russia.
	That's been about its only mission.
	And Trump has asked...
	Is it an obsolete mission?
	And he later decided, no, it's not obsolete, but it's a legitimate question.
	Well, this came up in different articles and in context of NATO, the president's trip to Saudi Arabia and the subsequent deal that he made.
	It was a good day in the office in the desert kingdom for Donald Trump.
	Visiting Saudi Arabia on his first presidential trip abroad, Trump sealed a $110 billion...
	This is...
	For the Trump presidency...
	And it's in Saudi Arabia.
	Does it sound like bagpipes to you?
	It does.
	What is going on?
	They need something hipper.
	I mean, where's Elton John?
	Where's Tiny Dancer?
	I mean, this is no good.
	It was a good day in the office in the desert kingdom for Donald Trump.
	Visiting Saudi Arabia on his first presidential trip abroad, Trump sealed a $110 billion arms deal with his hosts, part of up to $350 billion worth of business according to the United States.
	All a far cry from his political troubles at home.
	It was a tremendous day.
	I just want to thank everybody, but tremendous investments into the United States and our military community is very happy.
	Community?
	You mean a military-industrial complex?
	We want to thank you and Saudi Arabia, but hundreds of billions of dollars of investments into the United States and jobs, jobs, jobs.
	A new twist on a classic.
	So what I'm reading is that part of the strategy, and of course...
	I'm going to try that again.
	Part of the strategy, and naturally, yeah, you heard it.
	Naturally, we have been selling arms.
	We were reading these during Obama's presidency, and it was always, oh, here's three billion plus another billion of other.
	It never defined what the other stuff is, which I think is part of payoffs or whatever is necessary.
	And this is very good for America, like it or not.
	We make stuff that kills people, usually if they're brown and live in sandy areas.
	So it's a great deal, but what I'm understanding is he wants Saudi Arabia to be kind of the linchpin or the central country for an Arab NATO. I don't know if it's in this clip or not.
	This is Charles Payne, I think, on Fox& Friends.
	Now, the arms deal is important, but people should realize Saudi Arabia is already one of the largest purchasers of arms in the world, and I think it's a magnificent deal.
	For me, economically, I think the other things that are going to happen is Saudi Arabia is shifting away from oil.
	In 2012, we had a $38 billion deficit with Saudi Arabia.
	Last year, we had a $1 billion surplus.
	So they understand that their purchasing power is dwindling.
	They've got a lot of money, but they've got to make a transition, not unlike that's happening in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai.
	And I think they're going to need American expertise, American corporations to be able to do that.
	They want to become a banking and tourist area.
	Tourists don't go where bombs are blowing up.
	By the way, it's unfortunate, perhaps, that Donald Trump won't get a chance to look at their wall.
	Have you ever seen the blueprints of their wall?
	They're building a wall, just in case somehow the ISIS army breaks through, that impenetrable.
	Okay, Chapo could not...
	El Chapo couldn't get through this bad boy.
	Over, under...
	He'll just go under.
	No, this one you can't go over or under.
	But the bottom line, though, is that it is a reset, and it's a military and economic reset that's needed, and I think it's going to have huge ramifications.
	So it sounds to me like that, it wasn't mentioned here, but that NATO thing makes sense.
	There was a bunch of confusing commentary in that little bit.
	For one thing, Saudi Arabia has no interest in becoming a tourist trap or anything but Muslims going to Mecca.
	Period.
	Yeah, done.
	I agree.
	Dubai now, on the other hand, wants to be the world's shopping center and tourist trap.
	Which they already are.
	Well, let's get definitely close.
	I don't know anything about this wall.
	I do know...
	Oh, the wall.
	You got to see this thing.
	You can just...
	Where's the wall?
	Where is it?
	Well, it's not built.
	Where's it going to be?
	It's going to be...
	I have it here.
	It's going to be between Kuwait...
	Will they expect an invasion from Kuwait?
	Well, no, but it's border.
	You know, obviously borders.
	It's the little...
	It's halfway.
	It just kind of connects with Kuwait.
	So they see that as their proxy.
	All the way to Jordan.
	And so it cuts off all of Iraq.
	Interesting.
	But the idea of them being...
	You're going to call it the Maginot Wall?
	I have no idea.
	There's a bunch of historians out there who get a kick out of that.
	Would you mind explaining it?
	I'd like to know.
	The Maginot Line, that was the wall that the French built so the Germans wouldn't attack it before World War II. And so the Germans went around it.
	Yeah, they could easily go through Jordan or through Kuwait.
	It seems like there's a flaw in the wall.
	There's a flaw in the wall, I tell you.
	There's always a flaw in the wall.
	Well, I do have the CBS. I want to get this out of the way.
	The CBS rundown on this visit.
	Because there's a number of interesting things.
	And I'm going to put some pictures in the newsletter.
	Because you have to visually see some of the stuff.
	And a lot of it wasn't in this report.
	But there was, like, for example, the guys who were serving coffee.
	This was on C-SPAN. I got the pictures from C-SPAN. There was some...
	They had this big room, and Trump got some award.
	And the guy serving coffee appeared to be carrying 45 automatics with him.
	And there was hundreds of these guys.
	They had this gun.
	Well, you were strapped, man.
	And then there was the other thing.
	You know that black thing that goes around the headdress?
	I talk about it all the time.
	I've talked about it on the show.
	Yeah, the band that keeps your...
	That band, it's got a name.
	Man bun.
	Man bun.
	It's a man bun type thing.
	And we've talked about this on the show before.
	I'm going to just reiterate.
	A lot of people believe that the most radical of the Islamists consider that black thing a piece of unnecessary adornment and a sin.
	Really?
	To wear it.
	And so in a group of Arabs...
	You wouldn't wear it.
	Oh, right.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	You can spot the most radical of the group because they don't wear that black ring.
	I think it's called a munt?
	No, I don't know if it's called a munt.
	There's a name.
	I decided to point what the name is.
	So I'm looking at this to see if there's only two radicals, radical Islamists, but based on that thesis in the meeting.
	And the C-SPAN caught them.
	And they didn't show up on the big table.
	They didn't show up in any of the CBS reports.
	They didn't show up anywhere.
	But they showed up at one of the gatherings and C-SPAN cameras.
	They're just roaming around.
	There's nothing going on.
	And it was Ivanka...
	The way it was seated, there was...
	Ivanka Trump had a couple of Arabs around her, but there was Lance Friebus Priebus sitting next to...
	Friebus from now on, yes.
	Friebus is sitting next to one of these guys.
	It's usually like, there's like two Americans and there's an Arab and American.
	It's all a big mix.
	But one of these guys is sitting next to Friebus.
	And then Kushner...
	Another one of those dudes, probably.
	Yes.
	So those two guys surrounded Kushner only.
	He was the only target of their affection.
	And I found that very interesting.
	And I don't know.
	He doesn't have a clue.
	He doesn't know this, I'm sure, because nobody does.
	And it's not as though I'm the only one, but other people do know this.
	And he's just sitting there stupidly talking to these guys.
	And it was very...
	The layout of who was sitting next to who was quite interesting.
	And another thing that was only mentioned in...
	I think it was C-SPAN. I don't think it's mentioned in the CBS report.
	When they brought their 100-plus people over, a bunch of them, and they never would name them.
	I think maybe it is in the CBS report.
	But then I'm mad about the fact that they wouldn't name the guy.
	They bring him out.
	He's meeting with some Arab guy, shaking his hand.
	A bunch of the CEOs of the arms companies of the United States went on this trip.
	Mm-hmm.
	Of course.
	This is their trip.
	This is their sales trip.
	This is the closing meeting.
	Are you eating a pizza?
	Yeah.
	Trying to iron out finishing touches.
	Attention there left Air Force One without stairs for the first family to descend.
	Then the stairs and red carpet did not align.
	But the president and first lady made the best of it, meeting the king and...
	Hold on.
	I didn't see that.
	Did the plane taxi forward?
	What happened?
	No, what happened was they rolled out the red carpet, the plane comes in, and there's no ladder for the plane.
	This is not the first time.
	So they don't know what they're doing.
	So the plane is stopped, the engines are off, and they roll out the stairs, finally.
	Yeah.
	And then it doesn't line up with the red carpet.
	Oh, man, you can't trust them, can you?
	So these idiots couldn't get the plane to stop in the right place, and the red carpet apparently was a pain in the ass to lay down, because it's a mile long.
	And so what they did at the bottom, they come down the stairs, and then there's a little rug, a beige rug.
	A no-agenda bath mat.
	A no-agenda bath mat.
	You get to the bottom, and they have to walk over a couple steps to get to the red carpet.
	It did not align.
	That's the stuff that Obama had down, man.
	He had people to do that stuff.
	He should know this.
	He's a Hollywood guy.
	What an idiot.
	Didn't this happen in China, too?
	Yeah, there were no stairs.
	He was a director and producer.
	But the president and first lady made the best of it, meeting the king and taking in sounds of cannons and the sight of U.S.-made and Saudi-purchased jets overhead, trailing red, white, and blue exhaust.
	After ceremonial coffee, the president and king rode into Riyadh together.
	The leader signed an agreement on $109 billion in new U.S. arms sales to the kingdom and $200 billion of Saudi-backed investment over four years in U.S. infrastructure projects.
	Saudi princes posed with numerous US defense industry executives to celebrate.
	At a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Nayef, the president sounded upbeat.
	Tremendous investments into the United States and our military community is very happy.
	No U.S. president has made Saudi Arabia or any Muslim country their first foreign visit.
	Mr.
	Trump did so with two overarching goals.
	Challenge Iran's military influence in the region and recruit majority Muslim countries to do more in the battle against ISIS and al-Qaeda affiliates in the Middle East and North Africa.
	Secretary Tillerson.
	This growing partnership is really grounded in trust.
	Trust between our two nations that we are pursuing the same objectives.
	Scandals and investigations followed the president here.
	Tillerson was asked about a Washington Post report that the FBI had identified a person of interest inside the Trump White House as part of its investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
	I do not have any information or knowledge regarding the person of interest that's been referenced.
	En route here, the White House did not deny another report that President Trump told Russian officials he fired FBI Director James Comey because he was, quote, a nutjob, and that that dismissal took some of the pressure off the Russian probe.
	You know, I've got nothing to do with the report.
	I'm thinking, we could travel with the president.
	Because, you know, screw that noise with the bagpipes.
	John, get your recorder, man.
	We can do better than that.
	I mean, we can do better.
	I think you're right.
	Jeez.
	I can't get the recorder that fast because I've got to put fingers over all the holes.
	I, I, I, I, I, so shrill.
	There was one faux pas.
	Luckily we found something he did wrong.
	The president messed it up again.
	This time it's poopy, poopy, poopy.
	I think by most accounts the first day of the president's very first foreign trip was very successful.
	You know, these things can be fraught with peril.
	You can make a wrong move and derail the whole thing.
	But the closest that the president came to a faux pas today was when he began to drink tea with his left hand and then switched over to his right hand.
	Very important in the Muslim world to eat and drink with your right hand.
	Look it up if you want to know the reasons why.
	Poop!
	I made a poop joke.
	God, I didn't know that.
	I mean, I knew about the...
	Well, come to think of it, when I... Rationale, but I didn't know that this had happened.
	When I was in Iraq with the Dutch Marines, we went to visit one of the neighboring clans.
	You can't really call it what it is.
	And then a bunch of the elders sitting around.
	To pay them off, to bring them money.
	A pallet of cash.
	Here you go.
	All right, we're done.
	And we all sat around.
	Now, the only thing, because you sit, everyone sits in a kind of a rectangular room, and you sit with your back to one wall, and the other guys are sitting all with their backs to the other wall.
	You cross your legs.
	You never, ever, ever point your feet at the other side.
	That's what I was told.
	At no point did anyone say, oh, you better drink your coffee, which I like their coffee and their tea, both of them.
	That shit wakes you up.
	No one ever mentioned anything about that.
	Eating with your right hand, yes, but never about drinking the coffee.
	And they would have warned me.
	And there weren't like a bunch of Arabs on the other side going...
	No.
	There was none of that.
	So I'm not even sure that's for drinking.
	It might not be.
	I know in India, definitely.
	Yeah.
	I've never heard it so much being so important in the Arab world.
	Well, one of our dudes named Muhammad, I'm sure, can clue us in.
	We'll find out.
	Speaking of poop...
	I'm a little disappointed.
	This show has come up with tons of good nicknames.
	Usually for reasons because we can't really remember someone's name.
	So we have to give them a nickname and then people kind of remember.
	Everyone knows who we're talking about.
	Yeah, Freebits.
	Freebits.
	Freebits would be one, yes.
	The other would be Pocahontas, which we came up with way before Trump used it.
	We can't use.
	Can't use it anymore.
	And now we also...
	This was...
	Well, I'll play the clip and then I'll tell you.
	I don't care what he says to the Russian Prime, to the Russians.
	This is Jeffrey Lord, the Trump shill who's always on CNN, and Anderson Pooper.
	I don't care what he says to the Russian Prime, to the Russians.
	I mean, he's the president of the United States.
	If he wants to say that, if Barack Obama wants to say whatever, if George Bush says I looked in his eyes and thought he was a pretty good source.
	If he took a dump on his desk, you would defend it.
	I mean, I don't know what he would do that you would not defend.
	So Anderson said, yeah, Trump could take a dump on his desk and you would defend it.
	And then everyone's calling him Anderson Pooper all of a sudden.
	I had that way early on.
	You originated it.
	I'll give you that one.
	We even have jingles about it.
	Yeah, but now it's ruined.
	Yeah, well then just the last time we can play it, I guess.
	If you're blue and you don't know where there's fake news, why don't you get your Gitmo fix?
	Alright, it's the short version.
	Anyway, there was a pooper in the longer version.
	Doesn't matter.
	It's done.
	Can't play it anymore.
	Over.
	Co-opted.
	Stolen.
	And...
	Hmm.
	What should we do here?
	Well, I have an idea.
	No.
	Yeah?
	Yeah?
	I don't have anything spiffy.
	Oh, to lead into the idea?
	Yeah, I'll just give you the idea.
	I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C, where the C stands for, completely no idea today, Dvorak!
	Well, in the morning to you.
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Thank you.
	Thank you, Mr.
	Dvorak.
	Thank you.
	In the morning to all the ships at sea, the feet on the ground, the boots in the air, the subs in the water, and all the dames and all the knights out there.
	In the morning to everybody in the war room.
	Good work today, people.
	Noagendastream.com.
	But you can also listen to great podcasts streaming 24-7.
	There's all kinds of great things on that.
	We have the Dvorak Horowitz Unplugged.
	We got the Grimerica guys.
	We got...
	I think we do...
	You know, Jen Briney, man.
	Have you listened to one of her most recent shows?
	I listened about a week ago.
	Why?
	Yeah, she's getting a little...
	My advice to her would be straddle a little bit.
	Well, yeah, her amygdala is getting too big.
	I think the amygdala is popping out of her eardrums.
	Now, she made a change.
	I don't know if she changed back or not.
	I found it very disappointing.
	I haven't talked to her about it.
	Yeah, you need to talk to her.
	She dropped her jingles and songs.
	She had a song.
	Yeah, a Jeff Smith song.
	I'm so tired of being lied to.
	That's a great song.
	She dropped that?
	Great song.
	Well, you didn't notice?
	You just listened to her show.
	No, I listened two, three weeks ago.
	And I dropped it.
	She dropped it and now she does a cold open.
	Yeah.
	And just kind of, hi, I'm Jen, and she usually says something at the beginning, it's so annoying.
	So, she starts with so, that's what it is.
	So.
	So, I'm Jen Bryant.
	Anyway, she dropped it because she says that they will not let her play any music whatsoever on iHeartRadio.
	She's on iHeartRadio?
	Well, she says she is.
	And I guess she is, but I go to iHeartRadio and try to find her.
	I can't find her on there.
	But this is something that has been gifted to her.
	Legally, she's allowed to use it.
	It's a Jeff Smith original.
	Apparently, iHeartRadio doesn't believe it.
	Oh, jeez.
	They're just dicks.
	And she's not highlighted on iHeartRadio.
	She says, well, because of the great reach, I'm getting more of listeners than iHeartRadio.
	Great reach.
	I'm hard radio?
	Really?
	Nah.
	Nah.
	I don't know how I... Oh, I thought that was a mistake.
	And of course, also...
	Fuck, damn it, I'm trying to not say that.
	Nick the Rat on Wednesday nights with the Sewer Chat.
	There's another fabulous show.
	So definitely check it out.
	And people are always in the chat room.
	Then I would also like to thank Comic Strip Blogger.
	Once again, bringing us artwork.
	Guys on a tear.
	I've known him for, how long have I known this guy now?
	He used to do a podcast that condemned our show.
	Yeah, called Joe Agenda.
	Really, it truly condemned us.
	Yeah, so on and on.
	My slobbing brother, Dvorak.
	Yeah, and they finally couldn't keep up.
	Now, we need to talk about this for a moment, because he did the artwork for episode, what are we today?
	930.
	We're at 931.
	Right, so he did 930.
	Let me just see what the, what was the title of that one?
	Oh yeah, Off Script.
	And what he did, we actually really liked...
	A piece of artwork by a different artist.
	And it was the White House decked out as a reel-to-reel recorder.
	Kind of a top shot.
	And that's why I said this Kremlin thing.
	It was very close.
	Good idea.
	But then we find out it was from, I think, a Newsweek cover from Watergate, and you could have done so much to change it, to add parody, but there was no parody, so not fair use, so we couldn't use it.
	By our determination, it was not fair use.
	By our determination, yes.
	We do have this thing.
	You can take the other art and kind of incorporate, but you do have to change it substantially and use it differently.
	This was...
	This didn't qualify.
	It didn't quite get there.
	It was the best piece.
	Yeah.
	But it was not cutting it.
	And then Comics or Blogger's White House Volume 1 was funny, too.
	It was nice.
	That was well done.
	I would call that a classic Martin, J.J., Nick Durant.
	Simple, but deep and funny.
	And that's really all we're looking for.
	Yeah.
	In general.
	Yeah.
	We had a bunch of other stuff.
	I'm looking at the art now, and there's the Bueller, Bueller, Bueller.
	That was also funny.
	It's kind of funny.
	People are still using...
	Of course, Comic Strip Blogger throws the numbers, and we don't like that because you can never use a piece in the future.
	No, no.
	He does that for the tweet.
	Yeah, and that's what he's getting.
	He's getting the tweet.
	Yeah, he loves that.
	You know what?
	This guy, he's always been in IT. He's developed apps.
	I don't know what he does.
	He's a great...
	Illustrator.
	He has a lot of good ideas.
	But it's hard to make money that way, obviously.
	Well, you have to be full-time and be connected.
	Yeah.
	We do have some professional illustrators.
	You should start stalking Scott Adams.
	Maybe he'd learn something.
	Well, Scott Adams is a cartoonist.
	This is another completely different business.
	I don't know if Scott's ever done an illustration.
	Hmm.
	And this is completely different.
	It's like columnists, you know.
	How do you get your job?
	I don't know.
	You just get it.
	How do you become a big podcaster with all these people and sending you money?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	You just work for 10 years.
	Yeah, you do it for 10 years and you'll be there.
	10 years.
	Most people won't invest the time.
	It's just that simple.
	Thank you.
	Well, we had Agenda 31 has gone on permanent hiatus.
	You also are on the stream.
	Yeah, it's very difficult to keep this up.
	Yeah, it's hard work.
	Especially when you're starving.
	Brian is keeping it up, but I think you're probably right.
	She's not straddling enough.
	She's becoming hysterical.
	But I'm really disappointed in the fact that she would change her show fundamentally.
	Yeah.
	She used the songs as a...
	Well, look, this is a proven format.
	Proven format.
	The Jeff Smith, Sir Jeff Smith, Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable was very instrumental in the beginning of podcasting.
	And certainly with our show.
	But he has done openers for so many different podcasts, which are funny, very recognizable, very...
	I mean, to stop using that because I'm hard radio, all of a sudden, and then, oh, it's great reach.
	That's compromise.
	I did that.
	I compromised everything I thought about podcasting for about seven years in my own company until I could not stand myself any longer and had to leave.
	Yeah.
	That sums it up right there.
	I can't take it.
	I can't take myself anymore.
	I'd rather starve, and I got close.
	I ate my airplane.
	Boo-hoo, I know.
	Boo-hoo.
	Boo-hoo, he ate his airplane.
	Oh, yeah, poor baby had your shell in the airplane.
	Yeah, I know.
	Anyway, thank you very much, Comics Group blogger, all of our artists, noagendaartgenerator.com.
	I highly appreciate all the work you do, and that's why you get a special credit right up front in the show.
	Exactly.
	So let's thank a few people.
	Now, this is a very top-heavy, I've never seen anything quite so top-heavy as this particular show.
	We have like nine executive and associate executive producers and like 19 producers between $50 and $200.
	So we have very, then the second donation segment is going to be very short.
	Compared to the normal donation segment.
	Oh, interesting.
	Interesting.
	Okay.
	Yeah, it's very top-heavy.
	I've never seen anything quite like it.
	But that's fine, you know?
	Especially when it comes to our top-heavy dudes.
	The top.
	The top of the top.
	Like Sir Anthony Trusnich in New Hope, Minnesota, $1,000.
	Now, he doesn't say anything about being an insta-knight, and he's not listed, or is he?
	You mean on the knighting list?
	Yeah.
	Well, he's already a sir.
	I know he's...
	Okay, he'd be a baronet.
	Let me just double-check.
	Oh, no, here he is.
	I'd like to be baronet.
	There it is.
	I'm sorry.
	Yes, baronet of studio...
	Okay.
	Howdy, this donation will take me to baronet, and I'd like to be baronet of the studio Quinto?
	Quinto, I would believe.
	I don't know.
	Quinto.
	I could use some jobs karma, the Trump kind, as I have left my job and I'm moving to the Tampa area also.
	I like people, they leave their jobs and send us $1,000.
	And then ask for jobs karma.
	Send us $1,000.
	Also drop in a 69 jingle and a call out to Sovereign Tech.
	All right, I think I have that.
	Six-nine!
	D-nine, dudes!
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	There we go.
	And then here we are with Sir Onimus.
	Of Dogpatch.
	Of Dogpatch, 500 bucks.
	He sends these notes in, but you can't figure out who he is.
	And I guess he wants it that way.
	That's fine.
	Yeah, it's fine with me.
	Thank you for continuing to lead the way in 21st century news reporting.
	Mm-hmm.
	Innovation and freedom require courage.
	I encourage all listeners to support the independence of speech by donating.
	Now, this is the first time he's ever actually sent anything without complaining.
	Well, wait.
	You haven't finished the note yet?
	No.
	Wow.
	Well, that makes up for Dave.
	No, not Dave.
	Yeah, Dr.
	Dave.
	Who unsubscribes.
	Uncle Dave?
	I'm unsubscribing.
	Oh, the unsubscribed guy?
	Dr.
	Dave?
	Yeah.
	John, thank you for your podcast walkthrough of Windows 10 default settings.
	Few read or appreciate this level of institutional spying underway.
	Teaching how you can opt out of some is important and valuable.
	Wait, wait.
	Say that again?
	What's he talking about?
	When I went to the show a couple of shows ago, I went...
	I had a Windows 10 pop up in my screen, and I went through the clicking of these things to turn things off.
	Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Did you ever get the driver for that USB box?
	I did get the driver, I think, but I haven't tried to see if it works, so I'm still behind on that.
	Yeah, because you were telling...
	Well, we don't have to talk about it now, necessarily, but you were telling me how hard it was just to get the...
	Oh, it was ridiculous.
	I have got nothing good to say about the Scarlett.
	Well, tell me for a second.
	Okay.
	You want to get, it doesn't have, for one thing, the Scarlett.
	So it's one of these USB. Yeah, it's a very pretty looking box.
	Good looking box.
	But it's the same, you know, M-Audio makes a similar box and so do a couple other people.
	You plug the M-Audio box and people always bitch about it.
	The M-Audio box works great, but it craps out after a couple of years for some reason.
	Yeah, we've had two of them blow up on the show.
	I have two of them blow up.
	Yeah.
	And you plug the M-Audio in, and Windows says, okay, the M-Audio box is plugged in, and then you go to Skype, oh, hey, you got your M-Audio box plugged in, how do you want to use it?
	And you put this thing in, nothing.
	Actually...
	Doesn't show up in any of the device lists or anything like that?
	No, it doesn't do anything.
	You plug it in, and you get this.
	Yeah.
	That's the sound of Windows not recognizing a new device.
	So you have to go and get the drivers from the company, but you just can't get the drivers.
	You have to sign out for this and that, and you have to answer a quiz, and you've got to go jump through rings.
	Wait, captchas?
	You've got to do some captchas?
	Yes, you do.
	And so by the time you get to the end, then you have to put in the codes and stuff that they gave you.
	And then if you back off and go back and try to do it again, then they say the code's already been used and you got to restart over from scratch and you got to get your...
	It was hours.
	It was not worth it.
	I would not buy one of these things again.
	Why don't you just send me a driver?
	No, no, no.
	Then it installs five or six things, which is classic bullcrap.
	I'm going to have to uninstall half of them, I'm sure.
	It's like Adobe pulls this stunt.
	When Adobe wants you to upgrade your Flash, they say, oh, and by the way, we're going to install McAfee if you don't click this other box.
	And And they always have the let Adobe update for you in future automatically is always pre-selected.
	I despise that.
	Despise it.
	So this device, which I still haven't put online, may not even work for all I know, but all I know is I had to jump through hoops to get the drivers supposedly on the machine.
	I'm not even sure they're on there.
	Very, very disappointing product.
	I do not recommend this thing in the least.
	Well, you know, this technology, you know, of course, we moved.
	We moved.
	And I have one card, one Visa card, that I use for everything.
	And I changed the address.
	We went through that last week where I couldn't even change it at the bank's website because this is a new building and it didn't exist, according to them.
	But now, like, oh, let's watch a movie last night.
	Okay, click, click, HBO. Ah!
	Couldn't authorize your card.
	Sorry.
	You know, then I have to go all the way to Roku and change it there.
	And, you know, the stuff with passwords and two-factor authentication.
	It was Friday night.
	You know, the Keeper and I were getting romantic.
	I'm like, yeah, baby, I'm going to flip on some music here.
	And I go to...
	Apple Music has a playlist that I like.
	I've pre-selected.
	And I'm like, oh yeah, click.
	Oh, please reauthorize with iCloud and two-factor.
	Get a text message.
	I just want to get lucky here, people.
	It's unbelievable.
	Technology is shit.
	It's just shit.
	All right, I'm sorry.
	The science from the ground up is crap.
	I digress.
	Anyway, back to Sir Onimus.
	Adam, thank you for mentioning hypernormalization and periodically referencing Kaczynski's work.
	He was a murderer.
	He was unhinged, but he was also brilliant.
	His Industrial Society and His Future, published in 1995, includes a Nostradamus-like quatrains on how technology evolves and influences social behavior.
	In the political correct environment, which he calls out specifically.
	Yes.
	Those who want to protect freedom are overwhelmed by the sheer number of new attacks and the rapidity in which they develop.
	BOG commented, my three visits to South Korea this year, a significant minority of professionals expressed support for some kind of reconciliation with the North.
	The new South Korean president's interest in reconciliation should not be a surprise.
	And he's working on Duke of Dogpatch.
	Fantastic.
	Well, we always appreciate...
	Now, of course...
	Damn, it's getting bad, John.
	What?
	I said of course again.
	I keep saying it.
	Oh, yeah, you did.
	Sorry, I'm not catching it more.
	I want to go on or do this.
	It's been very bad today.
	Okay, it's been very bad.
	I'll just shut up.
	Okay, Tony Cabrera, $442.89 ITM. This is Tony from NoAgendaShop.com with your latest cut of the shop's profits.
	Just when I think I'm about to take a break from the shop, focus on my other neglected projects.
	You pull me back in.
	Not only does your show keep me informed, it also inspires me and other artists to think outside the box.
	I'll take some extra time.
	Karma says this is what I need the most to get the shop in and all my other projects done.
	Keep up the great work.
	So realize that when we receive, and this is, thank you very much, this is a great donation, $442.89.
	This is one third of the t-shirt profits.
	They take a third.
	Which covers their cost.
	I don't know if they do it with a profit or I don't know what it is.
	But they also give a third of the money to the artist.
	This is a beautiful, beautiful thing that's taking place.
	And I got to order like 10 more of those shirts.
	I rarely wear a shirt with our name on it.
	But the one that was artwork one time and I said, let's make it a shirt.
	Man, that thing is beautiful.
	Good.
	It's beautiful in black.
	It's beautiful in red.
	No, it's very nice.
	He needs some extra time karma.
	What does he need here?
	Yeah, he needs extra time karma.
	You got it, man.
	Thank you so much.
	Appreciate it.
	You've got karma.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	I didn't realize this was coming up.
	We do have to do this properly.
	Ladies and gentlemen...
	In the morning, citizens and slaves of Gitmo Nation, please stand and salute Sir David Foley, Grand Duke of the USA. Foley!
	Yes, the Grand Duke.
	Yeah, when is Mellison getting his jingle?
	Usually someone takes care of that, just shows up, I guess.
	Grand Duke David Foley, $333.33.
	ITM gentlemen, please find another donation towards Lady Lisa's knighthood.
	Please send a giant dose of the No Agenda karma my way as we are hoping to close a giant deal this week.
	Ah, yes.
	I know what this is.
	And the No Agenda mojo is all powerful.
	Thanks for continuing to provide the subtle nuances of facts only on the best podcasts in the universe.
	Go USA! It says GDUSA. I think he's the Grand Duke.
	But he's the Grand Duke.
	Oh, Grand Duke.
	Grand Duke of the USA. All right, so big deal karma for you, Grand Duke.
	Thank you.
	You've got karma.
	Very much appreciated, sir.
	Uncle Dave Drews in Henderson, Nevada.
	I know this guy used to be, still is kind of, one of my earliest bloggers.
	3333 in Henderson, Nevada.
	He works in a slot machine manufacturing operation.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Where?
	In Vegas?
	Gaming.
	He's in Henderson.
	Nice.
	Nobody lives in Vegas.
	They live in Henderson.
	Hello, gents.
	Uncle Dave here with a donation that will take me over the hump to knighthood.
	What makes donating a no agenda worthwhile isn't just that you're providing a small batch news service by doing the work week after week that investigative journalists used to do, i.e.
	before news departments merged with the entertainment divisions.
	It said every once in a while, Adam provides a graduate level summary in the history of the Middle East, the CIA, NSA rivalry and so on.
	If that alone isn't worth supporting, what do you guys need to do?
	Juggle fire nude while Maxine Waters provides commentary?
	Well, it would be entertaining.
	Juggling fire?
	Yeah.
	Anyway, here's my triple flat-chested boob donation of three times 111.11, making the magic donation amount 333.33.
	I'm sending it now because my birthday is May 19th.
	I don't think I put him on the birthday list.
	I'll add that now.
	It's what I do.
	And this donation allows me to give myself a present of knighthood.
	Because I live in the Las Vegas area, lost wages, and work at a company that makes slot machines and the software to run casinos.
	Fascinating.
	I want to henceforth be known as Sir Uncle Dave, Knight of the One-Armed Bandits.
	The only jingle I would like is the full Let's Get Social song at the end of the show.
	Oh, jeez.
	Okay.
	It's not that long.
	I have our version, yeah.
	It's not too bad.
	Of course!
	Yes!
	We would love to do that.
	Because of all the bizarreness in the world, we need a good laugh or wrath as the Asian clip guys go to.
	You're going to play the short version.
	You should play the whole thing.
	No, we only have a short...
	I don't think we have the whole thing anymore.
	That's very long.
	Okay, well, just play what you got.
	Anyway, he also made a shield.
	Let me see how long.
	The full version is...
	He made a shield.
	No, the first...
	Only 116.
	I'll play the full version.
	You got it.
	He says, Uncle Dave Knight of the One-Arm Bandage, he's got a shield that he's made for himself, which is kind of interesting.
	I think people should do that more often.
	A shield?
	Yeah, I'll just send a copy of it.
	Anyway.
	And his birthday was May 19th, you said?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	He's on the list.
	All right.
	Taken care of.
	Onward.
	Does he need any jingles, anything?
	He certainly must need something.
	I think he requested the song at the end of the show.
	Okay.
	Well, I'll give him some karma anyway.
	Made me laugh about the triple flat-chested karma.
	I hadn't heard that one.
	I kind of liked it.
	Triple flat-chested karma.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Jared Zeifman in London, Canada, 214.
	Woo!
	Lost my cursor.
	Oh no!
	Also donating today because my friend, who will remain nameless, who introduced me to the show, needs to be called out for being a douchebag and not donating.
	But you could also play a happy birthday for him as it is coming up.
	I don't know.
	She's on the list of some sort, maybe.
	Maybe incent him a little to get off his ass and donate to a fantastic show.
	Eric, that's anonymous.
	Yes, he's on the list.
	Nameless douche friend.
	Yep, he's on the list.
	Your nameless douche friend is good to go.
	That's what we're calling him from now on.
	Sandra Langston in Austin, Texas.
	Speak of the devil.
	$200.
	I'm trying to hit my husband.
	This is interesting.
	The women are in this show trying to get the husband to listen.
	But hold on.
	It's hit him in the mouth, not just hit him.
	That's not going to work.
	No, this is a woman.
	Oh, then it makes total sense.
	I'm going to hit him.
	I'm going to hit him.
	I'm trying to hit my husband who's Italian and doesn't speak English as fast as you guys can talk.
	Oh, in the mouth.
	Oh, she says in the mouth.
	Oh, there it is.
	Just as a crazy structure of a sentence.
	Okay.
	It's a slow process.
	However, my sons have already succumbed to your charms.
	We need you now more than ever until this fourth estate bad acid wears off from Austin and southern Italy in equal parts.
	Ah, well, I have something for your husband.
	Here you go.
	Shut up, slave!
	That'll help.
	Give her a karma.
	I'd love to give her karma.
	And her husband.
	Spread it around, Austin.
	He's got karma.
	Just tell him that my brother-in-law is Alessandro Paci.
	He'll know.
	Yeah, he'll know.
	Tony's famous.
	Philip Lakic, Lakic, L-A-C-I-C, in Coomera, Queensland, Australia, 200 bucks.
	Thank you for your tireless work and effort on what is without a doubt the best podcast This donation has been a long time coming.
	Far too long.
	I have really sucked on the tit, which is no agenda.
	I've been a long-time boner, but will finally redeem myself with this donation.
	Could you please dedouche me?
	You've been dedouched.
	And call out the other boners out there as douchebags.
	Douchebag!
	The Value for Value model is truly a breath of fresh air in a landscape dominated by sellouts that call themselves the mass media.
	Could I please request a shout out to my smoking hot partner, Teddy, followed by a little girl, yay.
	Adam, if you need a place to stay while you're on your Australian tour, I'd be more than happy to host you for a few days in the Gold Coast in Queensland.
	Keep up the good work.
	Well, thank you very much.
	And I've been tracking this.
	This is the first donation, certainly first executive or associate executive producership we've had in a long time from Australia.
	And we are doing this trip.
	It's very expensive.
	We're going to lose out on this deal.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, we're going to lose out on the deal.
	But it would be nice if they supported it a little bit.
	I mean, this is not like, you know, just gassing up the truck and driving to Colorado.
	It's a little different.
	It's a little different.
	And it's not like I'm visiting my family or anything like that.
	So I'm not complaining.
	I'm just saying that, you know.
	No, you're complaining.
	I am.
	And it's going to be interesting.
	And Dame Angela is doing a kick-ass job on working with us because, well, you know me.
	But, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll figure it out tomorrow, two weeks later.
	I will be doing the show Friday.
	The Thursday show will be done Friday morning, 7 a.m.
	East Coast Australia time or New Zealand time, depending on where we are, which will be Thursday, I believe, 2 p.m.
	for you.
	So I will be in the future.
	What day is this?
	So the Thursday show instead of 9 a.m.
	Is this coming Thursday?
	No, when we're in Australia.
	Oh, okay.
	Oh, jeez.
	When we're in Australia.
	Yeah, I can do two o'clock.
	It's fine.
	Yeah, but it'll be interesting.
	So there's a lot of work.
	Bettina and I could also just go on vacation.
	Plumber comes at 11.
	Bettina has saved up three weeks of vacation for this.
	She can't just like leave the Ronald McDonald house whenever she wants to.
	So you want to make it kind of fun and not just a no agenda work tour.
	No, it's going to be a no agenda work tour because you're going to be looking at stuff.
	Well, then I want to feel a little love.
	You're going to still pick up stuff.
	You're going to see something.
	You're going to see something on the street.
	You're going to have a donut that's got some sort of weird cream in it.
	I'll be looking for the donut with the weird cream.
	I don't know what's going on in your house, John, but maybe a little less weed smoking because you're thinking about donuts just a little bit too much.
	I never mentioned donuts before.
	That's my point.
	All right, Phillip, as requested.
	That's one mother I'd like to.
	And a little karma.
	You've got karma.
	All right.
	Oh, that was it.
	That was it.
	Yeah, that's our little group of well-wishers.
	Yeah, top-heavy for sure.
	Nice.
	Very top-heavy.
	Thank you very much.
	Appreciate that.
	These are extremely real credits that can be used anywhere that credits are accepted.
	They're just like Hollywood.
	Yes?
	Very ironic that it's top-heavy, yet we got a donation for triple-flat boobs.
	And that's why you should never skip the donation segment.
	Because it's fun and entertaining to listen to.
	And remember we have another show coming up on Thursday.
	Ah, yes.
	This Thursday we may be a little delayed.
	I'm just saying that up front.
	And I'm allowed to say why.
	Oh, okay.
	Why?
	Because it just makes everything a lot easier and everybody understands.
	Tina is having a procedure done, a partial thyroidectomy.
	It's not fun.
	Sucks balls.
	And, you know, I'm her support network.
	And one of her daughters is here, too, luckily.
	So she goes in Wednesday.
	She's expected to stay overnight.
	So it could be that we're Thursday.
	We start on time.
	It could be that we're a little bit late.
	So just bear with us on that.
	Sounds good.
	For the show?
	Flower comes at 11.
	Yeah, and of course we all want...
	I'm going to give her some karma right here.
	There you go.
	You've got karma.
	And we need your support for our show.
	Remember us at...
	And while you are waiting for the next show, you might want to go out and propagate the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Water! Water!
	Shut up, slave!
	Squat!
	Shut up, slave!
	Huh.
	Yeah.
	you So Julian Assange, case was dropped by Sweden.
	I have a couple of clips.
	Alrighty.
	And I want to mention something that was interesting to me.
	At least I didn't check ABC and NBC. I agree that I didn't do the whole thing.
	But CBS didn't even play it.
	They didn't play the story.
	Huh.
	The CIA broadcasting system was not going to mention it.
	It's not a story there, boy.
	They didn't do it on Thursday.
	They didn't do it on Friday.
	They didn't do it on the weekend show.
	They didn't even mention it then.
	Not once, but did they do Chelsea Manning?
	Did they do Chelsea Manning being released?
	Back in the day?
	Oh, I don't think so.
	Maybe.
	I don't remember for sure, but I do know that PBS did it.
	PBS actually played the Assange story.
	I just thought it was reprehensible, personally, that CBS wouldn't play the story.
	They'd have all these other crazy stories.
	Makes nothing but sense.
	I know, I agree, that it makes nothing but sense.
	And what did you feel of the timing of this?
	Do you think there's some timing thing?
	I think so.
	Okay.
	Let's play a clip first.
	Let's play a clip and you tell me the timing.
	All right.
	This is the Assange and Deutsche Welle.
	Earlier in the day, Sweden's top prosecutor said she was dropping a European arrest warrant against him.
	It had been issued in connection with an alleged rape.
	It was news Assange had been waiting to hear for seven years.
	But it was far from clear that the WikiLeaks founder would be able to leave the embassy.
	British Prime Minister Theresa May refused to say whether Britain would extradite him to the US. Well, we look at extradition requests when we receive them on a case-by-case basis.
	And in relation to Julian Assange, any decision that is taken about UK action in relation to him, were he to leave the Ecuadorian embassy, would be an operational matter for the police.
	US Attorney General Jeff Sessions has said prosecuting Assange would be a priority.
	He called WikiLeaks a hostile intelligence agency.
	And with Assange still at risk of arrest in Britain for jumping bail five years ago, he looks set to remain in the embassy for now.
	Mm-hmm.
	And let's get these others out of the way.
	This is Pompeo, the CIA director, who seems to be a douchebag, if you ask me.
	Well, beyond arrest and extradition by British authorities, some are concerned that the U.S. might try to get hold of Assange by other means.
	They believe a snatch-and-grab CIA operation could be on the cards, as its head has repeatedly lambasted WikiLeaks and its founder.
	WikiLeaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service.
	Ignorance or misplaced idealism is no longer an acceptable excuse for lionizing these demons.
	Assange is a narcissist who has created nothing of value.
	He relies on the dirty work of others to make himself famous.
	He's a fraud, a coward hiding behind a screen.
	Yeah, this is great.
	I think there's a lot of stuff going down.
	And I had my last clip, which is on RT, which has a different perspective.
	And there's a little interesting tidbit in here, by the way.
	This is the MI5 woman, who's one of their correspondents on Assange.
	Just all this with the former MI5 officer, Annie Mashon.
	The CIA and the other intelligence agencies in the USA are mad as wasps because the current...
	Wait, they're mad as what?
	Wasps?
	Wasps.
	Wasps.
	The CIA and the other intelligence agencies in the USA are mad as wasps because the current leaks about Vault 7, you know, the CIA hacking capabilities, the WikiLeaks is continuing to put out.
	That's probably angering them more than anything else.
	So they will want to try and get Assange anywhere they can.
	The USA does have a slight track record of snatching people around the world illegally, kidnapping them, and taking them off for torture, black prisons, whatever.
	And it's also been announced over the last few days that the American administration is reopening some of those black rendition sites.
	So I think Julian Assange has got something, you know, quite a lot of things he needs to be concerned about.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, they're going to black bag him.
	Yeah.
	They're going to black bag him.
	This is a great country.
	And I think there's a couple of things going on.
	Just as an aside, I'll mention that for sure, for sure, for sure, Anthony Weiner is going to have an unfortunate incident.
	For sure.
	I would put that in the red book.
	I would put a check mark next to it.
	Now, we know he said he's sick.
	He's a horrible person.
	Uma, apparently, although I have not seen filing documents, everyone seems to have more info than me.
	Have you seen filing documents for divorce?
	I have not seen it.
	I just hear about it.
	I have not seen it.
	So they could just be a...
	You'd want to disassociate yourself from this guy.
	But until I see documents, and why does she get preferential treatment but sealed or not published?
	I don't understand.
	So he's going to have an...
	It's in the cards.
	I feel bad, but it's in the cards.
	And the guy that we haven't talked about, I think he's also in trouble, is Snowden.
	And I'm not sure how it all fits together, but the moves feel obvious to me.
	You know what really kind of makes me kind of ill?
	Is Pompeo and Sessions.
	Those guys wouldn't even have these jobs if it wasn't for Assange.
	Yeah.
	I'm totally convinced of that.
	No one can convince me otherwise.
	Trump would not have won the election if it wasn't for Assange.
	I think you're right.
	I think you're right.
	But man, it's just...
	Assange snatch and grab, black hoods, black bag him.
	Accidentally killed.
	Wiener is going to make, you know, it will look like a suicide.
	Two to the head, gun in the left hand.
	You know, the Clintons are very good at that.
	Just go ahead, read up on it.
	Read up on wiping your butt with your left hand.
	Another guy that's in the news, but this has to do with Seth Rich, is Kim.com.
	Oh, wait, before I forget.
	Chelsea Manning, also in trouble.
	I'm telling you, in trouble.
	She looks good.
	Have you seen her new look?
	No.
	I gotta say...
	Kinda hot.
	I don't think that...
	I have to admit, like, well, yeah, you gotta look there, Chelsea.
	It's alright.
	But what's this?
	I don't see Chelsea being on there.
	Hmm.
	Well, Chelsea is ground zero for WikiLeaks, so...
	Well, I'm not convinced that she's a target.
	Okay.
	Um...
	If she drops dead, yeah, I would then say, well, you're right.
	Okay, that's not how the Red Book works, but all right.
	Now, Kim.com's in the news because he says he not only knows Seth Rich, but he was working with him to feed WikiLeaks these so-called Russian hacks.
	Now, this guy could be in trouble for saying that, and he's all over the Twitter with this.
	Who is this?
	Kim.com.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I saw his tweet.
	He says, I'll give written testimony if they ask me.
	I think he's legit.
	I mean, I think he's not...
	He said that Seth Rich was a mega-upload user.
	Yeah, I'm sure he was.
	In fact, I'm sure there was something that maybe mega-upload was a go-between between Seth Rich and the WikiLeaks and Kim had something to do with it.
	I don't know why.
	Why would he admit to something like that if it wasn't true?
	Yeah.
	There were some other very, very weird, in this regard, in two-to-the-head regard, there were a couple of weird things that were said.
	Let me see if I can just...
	No, this is back to Bill Maher's show.
	And remember, I'm just looking at the Hillary hit list and who was irritating and who needs to be cleaned up.
	There is other news, pretty big news, that happened this week.
	Anthony Weiner pleaded guilty to tweeting his dick.
	And Roger Ailes died.
	Woo!
	Listen to that.
	Wow.
	Yay!
	Dead!
	Let's participate.
	Between those two stories.
	And the guy, of course, fell down the stairs and was in a coma.
	But yeah!
	Dead!
	Death to our opponents!
	The guy programmed an entertainment network.
	Are you kidding me?
	That's evil.
	And Roger Ailes died.
	Woo!
	Between those two stories and the horrible week Trump had, perverts got their comeuppance.
	If there was a movie made about this week, it would be called Pussy Strikes Back.
	Yeah, because he knows who's killing.
	It's Hillary.
	I don't see that as that funny.
	I see it as truthful.
	Truth.
	And, you know...
	Yes, Roger Ailes.
	Okay, but when somebody dies, you're supposed to not say bad things about them.
	So, let me just say, when it came to making old white Americans more frightened and more ill-informed, nobody did it better.
	The truth will set you free.
	That's right, truth.
	And then Jake Tabber said something while he was being interviewed.
	Always loved the journalists being interviewed.
	That I thought was borderline.
	Always considered, in the olden days, that was considered bad form.
	Yeah, well, Jake Tapper has let loose a couple...
	Yeah, journalists interviewing journalists.
	I mean, come on.
	He's done a couple...
	Well, that's what the New York Times podcast is.
	It's fantastic to listen to.
	But Tapper, remember he was interviewed on, he was the one that broke the Don of Brazil story when he was talking on some local radio station being interviewed.
	So Tapper, but he takes it a little far here.
	The president seemed to be complaining and expressing a degree of self-pity, and I'm not exactly sure what these people who are about to put their lives on the line are supposed to feel pity about.
	And what he's talking about is his commencement speech to the U.S. Coast Guard cadets, and I agree to a certain extent there.
	Yes.
	So that's my first reaction.
	My second reaction is four U.S. presidents have been actually literally assassinated and killed.
	So I think that there are people who have been treated worse than President Trump has been.
	Oh, there's still time.
	But more broadly speaking...
	Holy crap, this is unbelievable.
	Yeah.
	Let's listen to the whole thing here.
	Just listen to that again.
	Literally assassinated and killed.
	So I think that there are people who have been treated worse than President Trump has been.
	But more broadly speaking, when it comes to a president who has been treated unfairly, I mean, that president led the charge claiming that the first African-American president was born in Africa, which is not only a charge that is false, but it is not a little bit racist.
	It's not a little bit racist.
	An interesting choice of words.
	Yeah, so there's still time to kill him, and then he would be really treated worse.
	I mean, I found that going pretty far.
	I find it disgusting.
	And now this witch hunt thing, because I saw the headlines.
	This again, by the way, is judgment.
	This is a judgment problem.
	Why would he say that?
	This is a poor...
	If Trump gets shot, these guys are going to have a hell to pay.
	No, they won't.
	Well, you were recommending it.
	No, they won't.
	That's what it...
	Bullshit.
	No.
	No, they won't.
	No.
	Yes, they will.
	No.
	No.
	And let's not hope that happens.
	Hey, was this...
	Did Trump say witch hunt himself?
	I don't know when.
	Did he start by saying...
	Did he say witch hunt at the Naval Academy?
	He's been saying witch hunt now and again.
	Ah, okay.
	Alright.
	Yeah, well, some reporter used it.
	I didn't know who had started it.
	Mr.
	President, I'd like to get your reaction to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's decision to appoint a special counsel to investigate the Russian interference in the campaign.
	Was this the right move, or is this part of a witch hunt?
	Well, I respect the move, but the entire thing has been a witch hunt.
	And there is no collusion between certainly myself and my campaign.
	But I can always speak for myself and the Russians.
	Zero.
	I think it divides the country.
	I think we have a very divided country because of that and many other things.
	So I can tell you that we want to bring this great country of ours together, John.
	And I will also say very strongly we've had tremendous success.
	You look at our job numbers.
	You look at what's going on at the border, as we discussed before.
	You look at what will be happening.
	You're going to see some incredible numbers with respect to the success of General Mattis and others.
	That's some telegraphing about Afghanistan.
	That's going down.
	ISIS situation.
	The numbers are staggering how successful they've been.
	The military has been tomorrow.
	As you know, I'm going to Saudi Arabia, going to Israel, going to Rome.
	and we have the G7.
	We have a lot of great things going on.
	So I hate to see anything that divides.
	I'm fine with whatever people want to do, but we have to get back to running this country really, really well.
	We've made tremendous progress in the last hundred and some odd days.
	Tremendous progress.
	And what happened to our country?
	Prez.
	That's interesting.
	Well, he is picking up the long answer concept.
	Yeah.
	He sounded a little bit like John Kerry.
	That's why I left it in.
	Go on and on.
	And then furthermore, it's really, really great what we're going to be doing.
	All you have to do is ask Fred over here.
	Fred, take a bow.
	Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Let's just play a little Dimension B just for a moment because it was good.
	Don Lemon.
	It's always good.
	Don Lemon is always good for a laugh.
	And he had on right-wing radio guy Dennis Prager.
	He's a right-winger.
	He must be.
	Yeah, Prager is kind of...
	I don't know.
	Even Trump didn't like.
	Huh.
	Really?
	Prager is kind of...
	Just to give you an idea, Prager's pretty much, there's different schools of right-wing talk.
	There's the modern school, which is invented by Rush Limbaugh.
	And then there's the old school, which was in every city, had about two or three of these guys, along with left-wing talkers.
	And they would be usually locals.
	And they had kind of a funny pattern.
	They were very interesting.
	But it was like a formulaic show.
	And it was very arrogant in a very specific way.
	And people who study this don't know what I'm talking about.
	But Prager is an old school guy.
	Hmm.
	The more I think about that, the more I think about this clip, and the one that'll follow it, I think we need to help everyone.
	John, are you in the chaise?
	Are you strapped in?
	Uh-oh.
	Yeah, I think we need to...
	Wait, I gotta put my...
	Yeah, I think we need to get in the travel machine.
	We're moving over to the ultimate universe.
	Hold on, people!
	America first.
	You know.
	We choose God.
	Fuck you.
	Oh, man.
	Darn, that's hard.
	Yeah, dog!
	Yeah, well, that's our signal.
	Then we know we've arrived.
	Because that dog is in both universes at the same place.
	The dog straddles.
	The dog's like, what happened?
	It's a flash of light and you're back again.
	But the dog knows.
	Dogs understand this stuff.
	Here's Dennis Prager and some massive, massive clashes of universes here.
	I see this as simply another of the series of hysterias that the left has created.
	I don't know, Don, how much you covered it, but I recall you did cover it, I just don't know how much.
	And that is, for example, the massive amount of anti-Semitism and racism that the Trump election unleashed.
	That was all a lie, pure lie.
	100% lie.
	I cannot let you get away with that.
	As someone who was on the receiving end of those horrible insults, I can tell you that it was not a lie.
	And I'm a conservative.
	It's not a university.
	You have to let people speak.
	I'm going to use that line.
	Hey, hey, hey, this is not a university.
	You've got to let me speak.
	That's a good one.
	Try it at the dinner table, John.
	I have to let people speak.
	I will, but I'm not going to let you speak falsehoods as someone who lived it.
	Excuse me, I will.
	I lived it.
	Apparently black Jew.
	I have a 35-year record in the media.
	I've never been once attacked for saying a falsehood.
	So just, I don't know what your record is.
	That's mine.
	So let me repeat.
	It was a 100% lie that his election unleashed anti-Semitism.
	And we'll start with that.
	Hundreds of Jewish community centers had bomb threats called in.
	To the best of our knowledge to this day, 90% of them were called in by a Jewish kid living, an American Jewish kid living in Israel, and the other 10% were a black radical who was trying to oppress his girlfriend.
	You're talking about two instances.
	We have no example.
	You're talking about two instances, Dennis.
	No, not two.
	Hundreds.
	Don, not two.
	All the hundreds.
	You're talking about two instances, and that is, I have to say that you're not right about that, but Ask Ben Shapiro and the other Jewish conservatives that got savagely attacked on social media during this.
	Yeah, this is a very important part of the clip.
	There's more to come.
	But this is something that is...
	We've talked about it before.
	I believe we identified this years ago with when sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me was changed to sticks and stones may break my bones but words really hurt.
	When someone yells at you or on Twitter, that's not an attack.
	That's not being attacked.
	It's just not being attacked.
	In the context of how she's saying this.
	Ask Ben Shapiro and the other Jewish conservatives that got savagely attacked on social media during this whole thing.
	Oh, social media, please.
	Everybody gets savagely attacked on social media.
	Not like that.
	This was not unleashed by Donald Trump.
	Actually, this started with the bullying.
	That's how it started.
	Remember?
	It started with bullying, with the anti-bullying laws.
	You can't say this, you can't say that.
	Man, you...
	This social media is the worst.
	We were also watching last night the first two episodes of the Hugh Hefner Playboy story on Amazon, which is new.
	Another good thing to watch.
	Because we're now very much in the politically correct culture, very much like the late 50s, mid-50s.
	Before the Kinsey Report came out, where sex was, you know, you can't talk about it, you don't do it, be quiet, extremely conservative times, but not in a political conservative sense of the word, but just in no nudity, don't talk about it, you know, all of this stuff.
	And America's still messed up over that, and it's spread.
	The one thing America has spread to all countries is this puritanical bullcrap about the human body and sexuality.
	Not like that.
	This is not unleashed by Donald Trump.
	You can ask all of them what they've gone through.
	For me, on the racism side of it, I received that too.
	So, I mean, I'm sorry, Don, but you know what?
	This conversation, when you bring people like this on, they're not helping the cause.
	People like this.
	People like this is not helping the cause, you see.
	The cause that Don is all in on, I guess, the cause to what?
	Impeach Donald Trump.
	I'm sorry, Don, but you know what?
	This conversation, when you bring people like this on, they're not helping the cause.
	You're deflecting, you're trying to diminish what's going on here, and you're not facing the reality of what actually happened during Trump's election.
	I gave you one huge example of the anti-Semitism.
	I'm a Jew.
	I've written a major book on anti-Semitism.
	The manual reference made half a dozen threats out of hundreds.
	No, no, no.
	At this point, Don has finally received word from the control room.
	Oh, whoops.
	It doesn't work in the other dimension.
	No, it doesn't.
	The control room is busted.
	The man you referenced made half a dozen threats out of hundreds.
	No, no, no.
	The Jewish kid in Israel made about 150 of them.
	That's not true.
	You're talking about a Jewish kid in Israel.
	Yes, he did about 150 Jewish community centers.
	But I think the ratio, somebody, Larry Elder, a colleague of mine, who happens to be black, I think it's only relevant because we're talking about racism here, and doesn't think Trump has unleashed racism, did a CNN analysis.
	Just because he's black, it doesn't mean that he is aware, and it doesn't mean that he is smart.
	Oh, he's not.
	No, he's not woke.
	He's not woke, everybody.
	He's not aware.
	Just because he's black doesn't mean he's woke.
	He's unleashed racism.
	Did a CNN analysis, and it seems that he's black doesn't mean that he is aware, and it doesn't mean that he is smart.
	Oh, he's very aware.
	He's one of the brightest guys I know.
	And it doesn't also mean that he is not co-opted by certain things, and that he doesn't reap the benefits of us having a certain black boy.
	This is such a cop-out by conservatives that are in the tank for Trump.
	In the tank for Trump, everybody.
	Hold on a second.
	It's interesting that...
	I find it actually fascinating that Lemon, and I guess the control room, didn't know about this kid in Israel that was busted for calling at least 150 of these Jewish community centers and threatening them with a bomb.
	At first, Lemon thought two, and then the control room said maybe a couple dozen.
	So nobody knows the story, and this is CNN? If I was in the control room, what I would have done...
	Is I would have immediately gone to Snopes to get my facts.
	So let's see if we can find half dozen.
	Alright.
	You may want to help me here.
	Let me see.
	They're doing news now.
	That's interesting.
	There's no rating on this.
	Huh.
	This is very strange.
	So they just report, but they don't give a rating.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	Well, maybe the war room can find it.
	They'll have a look for me.
	So, yeah, they didn't know, but I'm sure someone looked it up.
	That is odd that my control room doesn't work in this universe.
	That is very strange.
	Well, I got one more clip, and then we got to get out.
	No, no, I got a thing that while we're in the universe, I want to play.
	You want to play it now?
	No, I want you to finish your clip.
	This is BBC, and BBC has a Republican pollster on, John McLaughlin, not the guy who's dead, obviously.
	And this is a journalistic question that I have for you.
	Journalism seems to work differently in this universe.
	There are no facts that prove there was any collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians.
	We don't know yet, do we?
	Nobody knows.
	We do know there are no facts as of right now.
	And in fact, I worked on that campaign.
	I can tell you there were no facts.
	And it never came up in the polls.
	And it never showed up in the electorate.
	And there was no evidence that they tampered with any election ballots at all.
	So they keep on spreading this.
	Hillary Clinton got destroyed in the election.
	She was supposed to win, and it was the biggest upset for the establishment that they've ever seen.
	So they invented this myth.
	That the Russians interfered.
	And you know what?
	They keep talking about General Flynn.
	You know who took more money from the Russians than General Flynn did?
	John, forgive me.
	I can't let you say that on air without the people you're accusing being here to speak for themselves.
	I can't do it.
	I can't do it.
	I would like to talk to you.
	We would very much like to talk to you once we hear back from Mr.
	Mueller.
	Let's do that.
	Can we?
	Can we make a date?
	When Mr.
	Mueller, he just...
	When he reports, let's talk again.
	You can, but I'm talking about facts, and this is all...
	I can't let you make those allegations, John.
	I'm sorry.
	Not on air, because we'll be held liable as well.
	Those people have to be allowed to defend themselves.
	Thank you.
	Let's talk again when we hear from Mr.
	Mueller.
	Here's my question, my journalistic question.
	Does this make any sense?
	No.
	You can't talk about other people without them being there because that would be libelous?
	Where did you get this from?
	It's the BBC. BBC. Auntie.
	The British Broadcasting Community.
	Wow.
	That's nuts, what he said.
	That's incompetent.
	But it's okay to say the president colluded with the Russians without the president there to refute it.
	Or I guess that guy is refuting it, so I guess that's okay.
	I didn't know about this rule.
	There's no rule.
	It's just nonsense.
	He made it up.
	This is the dimension, baby.
	Where did this alternate universe story come from?
	It came from the alternate universe.
	That's right.
	So do you know about this character, Tuck Buckner?
	Tuck Buckner?
	So, you know, Alex Jones made a public apology about something he said about Chobani yogurt.
	I missed this controversy.
	Yeah, something he said, you know, just some casual comment.
	About him hiring Syrian refugees?
	Yeah, something.
	And so he made some comment they didn't like, so he had to publicly apologize.
	Why?
	Why?
	Because I guess he lost a lawsuit.
	Oh, okay.
	They sued him.
	So this character, and I want you to identify the comedian, came up with, and I have to tell you a couple of things about this.
	I've never heard anyone do an Alex Jones impression, but I can't imagine it's healthy.
	Not for your vocal cords, no.
	When I did the Tech Grouch, I did the Tech Grouch and the Tech Hippie.
	We had to get you tea with honey and lemon.
	It was unbelievable.
	We had to help you rest.
	You had to take your time.
	Even doing the Tech Hippie, which was kind of a surfer's voice.
	I can do it spot here and there.
	A classic, by the way, the Tech Hippie.
	A classic, ladies and gentlemen.
	Doing the Tech Hippie took so...
	It was like a five or six, seven minute bit and you had to kind of reshoot it.
	It's very hard on your throat.
	So I don't know how this guy who you're going to have to identify because I'm going to have you identify because it's like, oh, brother.
	I don't know how he does it.
	But this is Tuck Buckner making fun of Alex Jones' apology by apologizing because he's got a show too.
	Brain Fighters is how the lesbian conspiracy has maintained its vice grip on our nation's chia seed supply, alright?
	That's how they reproduce, okay?
	It's their demon seed.
	Now, a sincere forced apology.
	During the period of my entire career, certain statements were made on the Brain Fight Twitter feed, YouTube page, company Skywriter, and also for my enormous man mouth with his man words.
	And I am now legally required to understand those words to be wrong.
	So I will now offer the issue of the following corrections.
	I regret that I mischaracterized Virgin Airlines.
	I do know now that they do not use their planes to spray clouds of Viagra onto our nation's playgrounds to incite an anti-government revolution of unstoppable middle school sex warriors.
	In addition, I have learned that fruit by the foot is not made out of reptilian skin shed by George Soros.
	But I stand by the idea that George Soros' skin would be a delicious and nutritious treat.
	Actor Jeff Goldblum is not a robot controlled by Islamic field mice.
	I have no idea what the religion of those field mice is.
	My apologies.
	I also see now, for the first time, that Wise is not coating the inside of its potato chip bags with an emasculating chemical polymer in an attempt to reduce our genitals into hairless mounds easily controlled by psychic Huma Abedin.
	Nice try, Huma.
	He goes on.
	Not bad.
	Not bad.
	What he has really...
	He doesn't quite have the tone, but he's got...
	I would talk to the end of the sentences.
	You know, he's got that.
	I can do it.
	Oh, yes.
	I can do it.
	I can do it.
	Women just circled the Christians and went, Satan!
	Satan!
	No one can do that.
	No, he's got polyps.
	And that's the only way you can get that voice and do it without hurting yourself.
	By the way, who is the person that did that bit?
	I don't know.
	Stephen Colbert.
	Really?
	Yep.
	He added a whole segment.
	And he did that bit in about seven minutes.
	I think he's going to make it a regular bit.
	This is replacing his old character.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's good.
	It's good.
	It is.
	It's actually good.
	He can perfect it, because what he's missing is, I read the documents!
	Go read for yourself, okay?
	So you choke up at the end, because it's hard to do that voice.
	The new world order!
	I can work on it.
	I think, well, okay, you can work on it, but Stephen Colbert, I think, is going to hurt himself.
	No, by doing that, he will hurt his voice.
	Because when I was doing Freddy the Firewall, Hey kids, it's Freddy the Firewall!
	And Colbert should probably, he works on Broadway, he used to, he should find some vocal person so he can do it properly, not hurt himself.
	Yeah, because there are ways of doing stuff like that, but you need a vocal coach that will keep you from hurting yourself.
	You know, someone sent me a link, and it was like People Magazine.
	Oh, wait a minute, we've got to get out of this dimension.
	No, not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet.
	Okay.
	In this magazine, it had six celebrities who you didn't know were hot back in the day.
	And they've got Betty White in there.
	But you know who was number one at the top?
	Alex Jones.
	Alex Jones.
	And when he was a kid, he was a good-looking guy.
	I think I knew this.
	Very good-looking guy.
	Yeah.
	I don't want to say he's ugly now, but, you know.
	He's got bags under his eyes.
	He's not a good-looking guy, but he's not.
	Not like he used to be.
	Oh, man.
	I was quite surprised by that.
	Spent quite a week with Chelsea Manning looking hot and Alex Jones.
	And what's the other funny thing is, in kind of a reverse twist, when Clooney was a really young guy, he was a goofy looking kid.
	He was goofy, right.
	And now he's like, oh man, I'd do him.
	Damn it.
	Well, not really.
	It's too short.
	But, you know, waking up at Lake Lowe.
	See how weird it's getting in this dimension?
	Let's get the hell out.
	Are you ready?
	Let's get out of here, everybody.
	Strap in.
	Hold on to something.
	We are moving back.
	Across the straddle line.
	It's going to be only.
	America first.
	Here we go.
	America first.
	Let's take advantage of this moment, John.
	I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	And we do have a few people to thank for show 931.
	We don't have as many as I'd like, but we have a few.
	Let's start with, up top of the list is Todd Rothkamp in Rippon, Wisconsin, $101.01.
	It's a binary donation.
	Kevin Coburna in North Homestead, Ohio, $100.
	Baron Mark Tanner in Whittier, $100.
	Carl, and he donates twice a month.
	Carl Haberger in Rochester, New York, boob, 8008.
	Chris Durkin, boob.
	Tyler Sink, Benton, Illinois, boob.
	Amanda Bolin, 7470.
	She's got a birthday call out for her buddy.
	That was for best friend Matt and...
	Her dad, Jeff Kenyon.
	I don't know if he's on the...
	I don't see that on this note.
	No, it's right underneath Jake Kenyon.
	I'm sorry.
	Oh, that's Jake.
	It's all yellow.
	Yeah, you're right.
	And it's actually a lighter shade of yellow, and I even missed it.
	Eric did a good job.
	Jake Kenyon in Morayfield, Queensland, Australia.
	5656 with a birthday call out.
	Daniel Smith in Dayton, Ohio.
	5555.
	Jesse Carl in Arundel.
	That's it.
	Arundel.
	Maine.
	We don't have too many maniacs that donate.
	Oh, he sent us an email.
	Well, I will read the email.
	It's not going to be read here.
	Ryan Kennedy in Andover, Massachusetts.
	That's 5123.
	And the following people were already at that point.
	Oh, man.
	The following people were $50 donors.
	Yeah.
	Dan.
	What?
	I moved the keyboard.
	I keep moving the keyboard.
	And this time, this time where I put it was like behind me to the left.
	That's where I love my keyboard.
	This is like, this is where I... Are you playing Twister?
	What are you behind you to the left?
	Okay, we got starting off with Daniel.
	What happened?
	No, no, stop.
	What happened?
	You put it to the left, but what happened?
	I found it.
	Oh, you could find it.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Because I have to scroll.
	We're at the bottom of the list.
	I've got to scroll down, so I need the keyboard.
	And so I usually put it over to my right, right next to this, whatever this is on here on the floor.
	And for some reason, I put it way back.
	I moved it.
	I didn't want to find it.
	I think I hate myself, or I hate the show.
	Eric, $50.
	Curtis Singer, golden collar, or I hate this segment.
	Eric Singer, Golden, Colorado, 50.
	Desperately need a swift and thorough de-douching.
	Okie doke.
	You've been de-douched.
	And please call out my man Wolf as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	Thanks for all you do.
	Andrew Gusick in...
	Kevin Porter, 50, I think it's Sir Kevin Porter.
	Andrew Benz in St.
	Louis, Missouri.
	And last but not least, Greg Stoddard in Mesa, Arizona.
	He sent in what I call an important note, which is very long.
	All right.
	And it's about fentanyl.
	And I'm going to save this note.
	And read it on the show completely because it's very interesting.
	He's a registered nurse working in emergency medicine.
	This was a very good note, yes.
	Past 11 years, he administers some of the drugs mentioned in the podcast to patients on a regular basis.
	I'm very familiar with narcotic administration and effects on patients back in December 2015.
	I was in a significant motorcycle accident.
	I was given narcotics for my six broken bones.
	So I've had all the narcotic meds I am writing about.
	I'm working in the ER. We constantly encounter narcotics seeking pain meds.
	These people know well which drugs are the best ones to reduce their discomfort.
	Regarding fentanyl, you said it had a shorter half-life.
	No, I don't think that came up in the conversation at all.
	No, it didn't.
	But he heard it.
	And this is some of what makes it safer to administer.
	If a patient is going to have an unanticipated allergic reaction to fentanyl, or if it sedates them to the point where normal breathing becomes an issue, then the shorter half-life can become a real blessing.
	The faster it wears off, the shorter the amount of time we have to deal with the adverse reaction.
	The three primary used narcotics used today are morphine, fentanyl, and dilaudid.
	I don't know how to pronounce it.
	I used to know how to pronounce it.
	Spell it, spell it, spell it.
	D-I-L-A-U-D-I-D. You mentioned, and people know that fentanyl is probably the strongest of the three, but don't let that fool you into thinking that it relieves pain better than any other narcotics, especially this is an issue of dilution more than strength.
	Regarding pharmaceutical and narcotics, the concentrations of these three narcotics are essentially the same.
	Since we are talking about tiny amounts of liquid or pain relief, the volumes are about the same for the three narcs, even though the dosages are very different.
	The volume of fluid administered is roughly the same.
	The makers of each med dilute and package in vials that offer the same amount of pain relief per volume.
	And he got some specifics.
	Well-experienced narcotic addicts always prefer dilaudid.
	I know it's not being pronounced right.
	Dilaudid?
	It's Dilaudid or something.
	Over the other narcs because it's less likely to cause nausea or itchiness.
	And it lasts two to four hours when giving it an IV. Addicts and people seeking narcs like it so much that they give it nicknames like vitamin D. People that well know its correct name pretend to mispronounce it when they ask for it by name while trying to sound like they didn't really know how to...
	Pronounce it anyway.
	It goes on.
	Anything else in here that's important?
	In summary, there we go, we'll go to that.
	I would say all the milligrams of fentanyl is way lower than morphine and dilaudid since it doesn't come in concentrations, blah, blah, blah.
	If a person were to break into a hospital to steal NARCs for recreational use, the order of desirability would be dilaudid, morphine, then fentanyl.
	Okay.
	Hmm.
	It's just kind of a backgrounder on being in the business.
	Yeah, there was another note that came in.
	Someone who was very well versed in illegal narcotics of the opium variety.
	Yeah.
	I thought you were going to read that one.
	You got it?
	No.
	I think only you have it.
	I don't think I had it.
	I think I read that one already.
	No, here it is.
	Typical.
	You read it to me after the show.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I don't think so.
	Okay.
	No, never mind.
	If anybody out there remembers, I was talking about the guy who says, I was a drug dealer, so I should know.
	He's telling us how to cut heroin.
	That's what it was.
	Yeah, that was a good note.
	I need to take some...
	I think it was...
	If anyone in this chat room remembers, or war room, tell me.
	I can read it again.
	I have it still somewhere.
	Well, they're always the first ones to notice.
	Kind of fun.
	Alright.
	Well, thank you all very much.
	Sincerely appreciate the support.
	It was top-heavy.
	People came in.
	A lot of people under the $50 level.
	And there was...
	I don't think this got to Eric.
	This is from Sir Scott of the Armory.
	John and Adam, I hate to do this, but I'm writing to protest John Owen's knighthood title as Sir Johnny-O, Knight of Armament, on show Niner 2-7.
	As the original black knight of the No Agenda Armory knighted in 2012 on episode 474, John's title is a little too close to comfort.
	With the check you've received for $80.08, along with my regular semi-weekly auto check payment of $12.50, I am now a baronet.
	If the peerage committee agrees with my reason for protest, I, as a consolation for Sire Johnny O, offer my personal contact information and honor to pledge his loyalty to my burgeoning protectorate of the No Agenda Armory as a loyal subject after he chooses a new title.
	Huh.
	Well, there is a seniority and first-come, first-served thing going on with these titles.
	We have to, we'll take it under advisement.
	Wow, that sounded pretty non-committal.
	I'm taking it under advisement.
	Okay.
	All right.
	A finding will be produced within the next couple of shows.
	Okay.
	Well, if you want to check up everybody, we do have, and we'll do title changes in a moment.
	You can find that at itm.im slash peerage.
	And thank you again for supporting our Value for Value model.
	Another show coming up on Thursday.
	Dvorak.org slash ma.
	Everybody can always use some jobs karma.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yeah!
	You've got karma.
	And a nice list of them.
	Amanda Bolin says happy birthday to her friend Matt turned 31 yesterday.
	Jake Kenyon, happy birthday to his dad Jeff Kenyon, 56 yesterday as well.
	Jared Zeifman says happy birthday to his nameless douche friend.
	Chrissy, happy birthday to Brad from the No Agenda Facebag page.
	He apparently is turning 31 on May 24th.
	Amanda Gregory, happy birthday to Brad.
	Oh, that's...
	I don't know, that's the same one.
	No, I think it's Chrissy and Amanda is the same person.
	Finally, Uncle Dave Drew celebrated on May 19th.
	And I'll say happy birthday to my mom, wherever she is.
	She would have been celebrating today.
	Happy birthday for everybody here at the best podcast in the universe!
	Happy birthday, yeah!
	To today, we just discussed Sir Scott of the Armory, who becomes a baronet today, and Sir Anthony Tresnich becomes baronet of Studios Quinto.
	Congratulations to both of you, and thank you for your extra support of the best podcast in the universe.
	One night to do today, John.
	Let me see if I can get my...
	I've got that one there.
	Here it comes.
	That's what she said.
	Uncle Dave Drews, come on up!
	You hit the podium.
	Lectern, we would like to welcome you to the round table of the Noagin' Knights and Dames for your contributions in the amount of $1,000 or more to the best podcast in the universe.
	And I therefore, very loyally and very happily, pronounce to Kate thee, Sir Uncle Dave, Knight of the One-Armed Bandits.
	And for you, sir, of course, hookers and blow, red boys and chardonnay, brisket and brown ale, Nicaraguan cigars rolled in Panama Papers, kilts and kilp lifter ale, garlic and broccoli, meat and water, poutine and rye whiskey, Raspberry pies and breakfast burritos, malted barley and hops, breast milk at Pavlov, gin trail and gerbil, sparkling cider and escorts, bong hits and bourbon, vodka to vanilla, and mutton and mead.
	All of that for you go to noagendanation.com slash rings and Eric the Show will get all your deets.
	Your deets.
	I'll ship it off to you.
	Producer Drew had a bias incident.
	That was interesting in the social justice warrior realm.
	Yeah?
	Yeah.
	He says a few months ago I was looking for apartments in Mountain View that would be closer to work.
	He's a Silicon Valley guy.
	At one leasing office, as we were filling out the application, I don't remember exactly what the setup was, but I think we were asked about possibly disqualifying factors.
	He says, I have no credit because I refuse to update my address with Experion TransUnion.
	And my social justice warrior feminazi girlfriend, whom I chain in my basement, has defaulted student loan debt.
	His off-the-cuff response as the leasing agent was that we should be fine as long as we weren't Trump supporters.
	Now, we're not, but the comment did not sit well with either of us, and we ended up renting somewhere else.
	I doubt he was serious.
	He played it off by saying that there were some there already.
	In fact, I'm pretty sure that denying a rental application on that base would be illegal.
	Yeah, probably.
	This is what's going on.
	Yeah.
	Of course.
	It's just what's going on.
	It's just what's happening.
	People are nuts.
	It's judgment issues.
	Yeah.
	So we got a couple of things, a little catch-up jobs here.
	First of all, they're taking down the statue of Robert E. Lee in the middle of New Orleans.
	Yeah, all these Confederate things have to come down.
	Yeah, they're all coming down.
	So is the Dukes of Hazzard in reruns?
	Because that's got to go.
	That has to go.
	That's got to go.
	You cannot have the General Lee, a car named General Lee.
	No.
	And it's got a flag on it, and then you've got a bunch of stereotypical characters that don't really exist, or maybe they do.
	But let's play...
	I have an issue with this.
	Not that I'm taking one side of that.
	What I have an issue with is PBS, and I'm going to play...
	First, let's do a background of Robert E. Lee on CBS. 152 years and one month after Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered his army to Ulysses S. Grant, a statue of Lee is falling in New Orleans tonight.
	Omar Villafranca is there.
	After 133 years of standing over New Orleans, a statue dedicated to Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to history.
	New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu.
	These monuments celebrate a fictional sanitized Confederacy, ignoring the death, ignoring the enslavement.
	The statue of Lee is the first one to come down in broad daylight.
	Under the cover of darkness, workers removed the statues for Confederate President Jefferson Davis, General PGT Beauregard, and the Liberty Monument, because police say there were threats made against the crews.
	If we take down these statues and don't change to become a more open and inclusive society, then all of this would have been in vain.
	Protests erupted in New Orleans when the city decided to remove the monuments.
	Both sides argued over whether these monuments celebrated racism or Southern heritage.
	Dr.
	Maria Ortiz with the Southern Christian Leadership Council worked for 44 years to bring the monuments down.
	I would point up there and I would say, you devil, you coming down one day.
	I thought of the oppression and what my grandmother and they sweating blood down in this sorrow.
	Businessman Frank Stewart thinks the statues should remain.
	I really don't think that anybody should have the privilege of changing history, because history is truth.
	No word on where the statues will end up.
	But Anthony, the mayor says they cannot be displayed outdoors on public property.
	All right?
	All right.
	By the way, that Andrew Jackson statue has got to be 40 feet tall or something.
	It's fantastic to have in your backyard.
	Wait, so President Andrew Jackson?
	No, I meant Robert E. Lee.
	Oh, I was going to say, you confused me there.
	But what other statutes do they pull down?
	Well, they're pulling down mostly...
	Robert E. Lee's all over the place.
	They've got something like 700.
	In the second report, there's a mention of the numbers.
	But there's huge numbers of Robert E. Lee and there's huge numbers of the president of the Confederacy, who they've mentioned in the other report.
	They're the ones they take down late at night.
	But there's other ones.
	I'm concerned about...
	The loss of certain things, because there's a bunch of Confederate graveyards that I've visited.
	They're great.
	We need to dig them up and toss them out?
	That's what I'm thinking.
	Yeah, dig them up, toss them out.
	They don't deserve a proper burial.
	So let's play the second.
	My gripe is really about what showed up on PBS. This is Robert E. Lee, PBS. Op-ed by city native and jazz musician Wynton Marsalis, urging the removal of the monuments.
	Many have argued it was an appropriate response to the killing of nine black church parishioners that year in Charleston, South Carolina, by avowed white supremacist Dylann Roof.
	Weeks after that attack, South Carolina removed the Confederate battle flag from its state capitol.
	Back to today, New Orleans plans to store the statues until it finds an appropriate location for them.
	But their removal has angered opponents who see this as suppressing or rewriting history in the service of political correctness.
	Many years later, when historians or politicians declare a war unjust or immoral, does that negate the ultimate price these soldiers and families paid?
	Soldiers do not make policy.
	Elected leaders do.
	A lot of this people are against or are either not from here originally and don't understand our culture.
	And a lot of people even from here don't know their history.
	Last week in Baton Rouge, the Louisiana State House passed HB 71, which would require a referendum before any military monument could be renamed or removed.
	In a show of defiance, black caucus members walked out after the vote.
	Meanwhile, last weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, torch-bearing protesters, including white nationalist Richard Spencer, marched against the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue there.
	The Southern Poverty Law Center counts more than 700 Confederate monuments and statues on public lands across the country.
	The vast majority of those are in the South.
	So is this the right approach for dealing with the darker sides of U.S. history?
	I'm joined now by two men who have wrestled with this very question.
	Bryan Stevenson is founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative.
	He's helping build a national monument to the victims of lynching in Montgomery, Alabama.
	And Walter Isaacson is a historian and writer and president of the Aspen Institute.
	Welcome to you both.
	Walter, I'd like to start with you first.
	You are a native of New Orleans.
	You were there when they were bringing Robert E. Lee down off his pedestal today.
	What do you make of the city's moves?
	Okay.
	I had to stop because they're going to go on and on.
	Here's what bothers me.
	Walter Isaacson starts off by saying, well, it was a symbol of white supremacy and it had to go.
	And it's a great thing that is gone.
	So he's like, you know, Isaacson's a guy who's all in.
	He's all in for CIA. He's like a spook if he's not.
	He's not when he should be.
	And he's the one who wrote the giant Steve Jobs biography.
	Ah, that's the guy, yes.
	He is a historian?
	You look him up on the Wikipedia page and you can't figure out what he is.
	But anyway, the point is that he comes in and he's bitching and moaning about that they should have gone long ago.
	That's what his thesis is.
	The other guy says, yeah, we need to have monuments to people that were lynched in a terrible situation.
	There's no monuments for them.
	And so both of them were thinking this is fantastic that they're getting rid of these damn things because they're eyesores and they should go and they represent white supremacy.
	I'm thinking to myself, I'm watching this going, wait a minute, the state house of Louisiana passed a law saying you can't take these things down without some, you know, some sort of a hearing.
	And they went on and on.
	So what I'm watching is I'm watching two people on PBS, as I've bitched about before, on the same side of the topic as if...
	The science is in.
	It's settled.
	It's bad to have these statues.
	Let's have two people come on like they do with global warming.
	Two people come on and say, yes, these statues have got to go.
	I don't care where they go or not personally.
	I would like to hear the other side of the argument.
	This isn't an argument about whether Hitler was good or bad, but that's the way they're playing in this.
	This is a problem that we're seeing with PBS more and more and more.
	They do not give us a balanced report.
	They give us a one-sided report that's predetermined so far as the – The ethics or whether it's good or bad, it's all predetermined and packaged and given to us this way with the two same guys.
	The same thing with Brooks and Shield.
	They both hate Trump.
	What good is this to listen to these people?
	I'm not getting you.
	You could have timed that anywhere.
	You could have timed it anywhere.
	The point is I don't like this.
	There may be a good reason to keep the statues up.
	I'd like to hear it.
	I will give you that reason.
	It was in the report, and it's something I heard, and it relates to culture.
	And I see this with Mastodon.
	It's kind of fallen off the radar, but noagentosocial.com is still puttering along fine.
	Thank you very much.
	Everyone enjoys it.
	I like it much more than Twitter.
	I feel much freer there.
	I don't have to worry about other douchebags, although it's open.
	But this idea of blocking and banning servers so that no one on your server can see anything...
	The thing that I have a problem with is how, and make no mistake, GNU Social, Mastodon, all social justice warrior driven, is stop all anime.
	Now, I look at a lot of this stuff and I'm also like, wow, man, that looks like...
	Stop anime.
	All anime.
	We have to block servers that post anime.
	Why?
	I'm going to just...
	Because a lot of it looks like it's sexualizing young girls, children.
	And my answer to that is, this is completely cultural.
	In Japan, that is seen very differently.
	And in the South, and I like that in that report, it was kind of slipped in there.
	The way I've experienced this, and I've talked to people in the South, I've been to the South, hey, I'm in Texas.
	The way people experience, you know, statues, it's all remembrances of a very difficult time when there was brother against brother, you know, North-South, you know, there's been tons of movies about it, which we also should completely outlaw and never ever, we should burn the celluloid, please, for fear of triggering anyone over the racist war.
	It is culture.
	To the people in the South, it is more a reminder of what happened.
	And if anything, I would say a reminder of, dude, let's not do that again.
	That's culture that...
	I'm a Yankee.
	You know, I can't...
	We can't fathom that.
	We can't understand.
	But, as you say, then you get a bunch of people coming in who don't live in the South saying, rip it all down!
	The douchebags from the Southern Poverty Law Center.
	$700 million in the bank.
	No.
	No.
	Well, my complaint is again...
	It's valid.
	It's valid.
	Completely valid.
	You are absolutely right.
	It's disgusting.
	That is not journalism.
	And who cares if their funding is taken away from them?
	For this very reason, their funding should be taken away.
	But I'll say something else regarding PBS funding.
	PBS should not be buying British BBC theatrical pieces.
	If it's American taxpayer money, it should be spending it on American productions, not BBC. No one ever says anything about that.
	Well, they've never been called out for that.
	No one ever says anything about that.
	It's always the British series.
	Oh yes, BBC, that's great, we've bought the BBC. And it's not free.
	No, it's not free, that's for sure.
	Not free at all.
	Yeah, screw those guys.
	They're a horrible outfit.
	It's getting that way.
	Yeah.
	I want to do three quickie reports from Euroland.
	We'll start first with...
	This is quite a big number.
	I'm surprised it didn't really make it to the press here.
	There's no let-up in the migrant influx to European shores.
	A reported 5,000 were rescued on Thursday and Friday during multiple operations in the Mediterranean Sea.
	The Italian and Libyan coastguards coordinated the missions which took place off the coast of the African nation.
	One lifeless body was also found.
	It comes days after the Italian Senate Defense Committee recommended stricter monitoring of NGOs and other humanitarian organizations operating in the Med.
	The Commission also proposed that Malta and Tunisia, which lie geographically closer to Libya, should do more to help combat the huge numbers of migrants using the country as a launchpad for reaching Europe.
	According to the International Organization for Migration, over 45,000 migrants have made the treacherous Mediterranean crossing this year so far.
	1,332 people died or went missing during the journey.
	Although I hear drowning is the way to go.
	Horrible death.
	5,000.
	And this is not enough.
	This is not interesting to the United States media.
	No, no, no.
	They got a great Europe story.
	We'll get to that in a moment.
	But first, another thing that was not covered at all.
	The city of Berlin is accusing its own police of a cover-up linked to the Christmas truck attack that left 12 people dead.
	The Capitol's interior minister spoke publicly about the explosive findings.
	A new document appeared, dated November 1, 2016, containing details of telephone surveillance.
	Based on this document, attacker Anis Emery was suspected of commercial-level gang-related drug trafficking.
	These charges were serious enough to obtain an arrest warrant.
	There was a second version of the document, dated January 17, 2017, but clearly backdated to November 1.
	This version no longer refers to professional and organized trafficking, but only to drug dealing.
	And Germany's interior minister too has been left shocked by those accusations and is demanding answers from Berlin police.
	We asked locals how they feel, finding out that the attack may have been prevented.
	This is a tragedy.
	Things could have been done differently and those people would still be alive.
	It saddens me.
	I have the feeling that they don't take so much care about the security in Germany.
	German government, political correctness, the tendency to try to cover things up, to sort of push the problem aside without actually solving it or to pretend that everything's fine.
	It's a nice little bit of RT propaganda there at the end with the man on the street.
	We're all very aware of how that works.
	Well, they love doing that.
	But I did not know about this falsified memo, backdated memo, and it has all the appearance of being covered up.
	None of that.
	But, oh yeah, what went viral?
	What was the big news?
	Oh boy, everybody.
	Although everyone in Dutch aviation has known this for decades, and pretty much every Dutch citizen knows about it, but no!
	Whoa!
	Everybody send Adam to the store!
	Just crazy!
	Wah!
	Dutch King Willem-Alexander has been moonlighting as a pilot for the past 21 years, according to a Dutch newspaper.
	The 50-year-old royal takes to the sky twice a month on short-haul services for national carrier KLM. Despite talking to passengers over the intercom, the king has remained undetected, at least until now.
	According to the Dutch King, he finds flying relaxing and enjoys being able to leave his royal duties behind.
	The king plans to take a break from his pilot duties to learn how to fly Boeing 737s, KLM's upgrade of choice for its short-haul fleet.
	The bottom line, the Dutch king is moonlighting as a pilot.
	Whoa!
	Idiot.
	This just shows you how dumb it is.
	When you actually know something about a topic...
	And then they're showing all these 747s, 737s, 757s.
	He flies Fokker 70, twin-engine turboprop.
	It's a nice little guy.
	It's a real plane, but it's not a jet.
	And this is not like a big secret.
	Everybody knows you've been doing this.
	So what?
	No, that's what hits the news in America.
	Yeah, well, they don't want to give you any real news.
	Now, I was thinking about, I have this one offbeat clip.
	Well, actually, since you mentioned pilots, let's talk about the crazy Turk on the plane.
	A Turkish man was taken into custody Friday after disrupting a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu.
	As Carter Evans reports, the suspect had also been arrested at the airport before the flight.
	FBI agents led 25-year-old Anil Uskanil off the plane in handcuffs.
	On the runway in Honolulu, American Airlines Flight 31 was surrounded by authorities after being escorted to the airport by two F-22 Raptors.
	About halfway through the flight from Los Angeles to Hawaii, passengers say the Turkish national got out of his seat and headed for the front of the plane.
	He was screaming and talking to himself and then he walked up to the front with a blanket on his head.
	I saw a panicked look on the flight attendant's face and she rushed the car to the entrance to first class.
	They're like, can somebody please help?
	Can somebody please help?
	Passengers say Uscaniel was holding a laptop computer, and that raised suspicions with the recent laptop ban on some international flights.
	He got wedged in, and he's pushing, but then she says, you're not coming in here.
	Lee Lorenzen helped the flight attendant keep Uscaniel away from the cockpit door.
	By then, a bunch of guys grabbed him, and they found some duct tape, and I think they went back there with pillows and blankets just to tape him to his chair and keep him subdued.
	On the ground in Honolulu, the plane was searched and no explosives were found.
	Less than 10 minutes to go.
	Okay?
	So a thing...
	Yeah, I hear you.
	I hit the mute button.
	So a couple of things.
	One...
	I guess they always have duct tape on the plane because all these guys are now being grabbed by the passengers and then duct tape.
	I always travel with gaffer tape, not duct tape.
	I usually have some gaffer tape.
	I got my ranch hand.
	I got my gaffer tape.
	So the thing is, now they're taping these guys.
	I think it's got to be extreme.
	Yeah, that's like a form of torture.
	And you're stuck on there, and you probably duct tape his mouth and duct tape his head to the seat.
	To the seat, yes, to the seat.
	Oh, man, I hope that happens on one of my flights.
	Yeah, you just duct tape him.
	Hey, I got some gaffer tape, everybody.
	Stand back.
	Now, this guy was arrested earlier in the day at the airport for busting through one of the no-go zones.
	Really?
	Yes.
	And they let him go so he can make his plane.
	I think this whole thing was a setup.
	Yeah, hoax.
	Yeah, I agree.
	Bullcrap.
	And we didn't even really have time to talk about the beating that the people received in front of the Turkish embassy earlier in the week.
	Oh, yes.
	Yeah, that was a few days ago.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, by all these guys in suits, there were a bunch of arrogant security guys.
	Scum!
	Thugs!
	Goons!
	Goons!
	Yeah, and they were all claiming privilege for, what is it, diplomatic immunity.
	Diplomatic immunity, yeah.
	And the cops, man, they were like, what?
	They'd never seen anything.
	You could tell.
	They were confused.
	Like, what the hell is this?
	And they looked like men in black.
	Yeah, it's definitely worth finding a YouTube clip of these guys who are kicking and punching guys.
	It's very funny.
	Now, I have a couple of clips I can do, but I got one I think that maybe I have to play so we can keep up with what's happening in Iran.
	Yes, yeah, I have that too.
	This is Liz Palmer from CBS. She's in Iran.
	I guess she just roams around everywhere.
	And she's giving kind of an interesting report.
	Before we get into the report, what I notice in all of these reports, because they had the election...
	Right.
	That was re-elected.
	The Iranians...
	We already knew it's a very young country, but man, they look hip!
	They look urban!
	They look like they're with it!
	They're woke!
	They're woke?
	That didn't strike you or something you hadn't really seen when you see images of Iran?
	I've noticed this for over a year.
	For a couple of years.
	I've noticed this for a long time.
	They bring it up a lot that half the population is under 25.
	No, I know that, but the clothing is really what did it for me.
	It was not one of those bland, kind of dusty shots of people in traditional garb.
	Yeah, they're not well-dressed, but it's like your urban outfitters are dressed well.
	Yeah, I think I even saw some man buns there.
	A massive voter turnout clinched the election for the incumbent president and moderate Hassan Rouhani.
	In his victory speech on state television, he said, Iran had chosen a path of engagement with the world.
	Rouhani had been running against the hardliner Ebrahim Raisi, whose populist campaign included cash handouts for the poor.
	But it was Rouhani who captured the huge youth vote, with promises to push forward liberal reforms and international relations.
	At lunchtime in the heart of Iran's main bazaar, hungry Iranians flock to the Muslim restaurant.
	The portions are large and the price is low, which really matters to people because years of punishing sanctions have hurt.
	In fact, data from Iran's central bank shows that after sanctions kicked in in 2006, the amount of meat and rice Iranians ate at home went steadily down every year for a decade.
	When the nuclear deal was finally signed two years ago, Nasrin Sefi, the restaurant's accountant, was relieved, as everyone was, when some sanctions were lifted.
	But Washington's stayed in place.
	Do you think this Rouhani guy is good?
	No, I don't think any of those leaders are good.
	Yeah, probably just as crappy as ours.
	He's just as, you know, there's that.
	He's just better.
	Yeah.
	Well, they've got to get rid of all the religious guys.
	I know plenty of Iranians.
	Yeah.
	We all know.
	In fact, they accuse us or their big leaders of being in cahoots with the U.S. Wouldn't surprise me.
	Yeah, wouldn't surprise me either.
	I just have to play these three little shorties about China in case something happens between now and the next show, because there are just too many stories to ignore about the tension.
	Some of this is about the islands.
	Flexing its military muscle as regional tensions multiply, the Japanese Coast Guard has resumed annual drills in Tokyo Bay after a five-year pause.
	This mock rescue scenario was staged just days after a real flare-up with regional rival Beijing in a territorial dispute over waters and islands in the East China Sea.
	For this minister, the role of Japan's coastguards becoming all the more important with the surveillance of waters around the Senkaku Islands and dealing with repeated missile launches by North Korea.
	The Japanese and Chinese have long been at loggerheads over the tiny, uninhabited islands called the Diayu by China.
	Controlled by Japan, they're claimed by Beijing.
	Addressing other security issues, Japan's maritime drills also include anti-extremist operations.
	So, false flag could be in the horizon with some anti-extremist drills going on, but we have some issues with the Chiners.
	This was surprising, and you'll have to focus your hearing interpreter, because this is Duterte.
	Oh, yeah, okay.
	Yeah, but if you can't, it's short, and he's saying something really clear, and he's having trouble with the Chiners, too.
	That is ours and we intend to drill oil there.
	Mula ng palaboy-laboy.
	If it's yours, well, that is your view, but my view is that I can drill the oil if there is some inside the bowels of the earth because it is ours.
	Sagot sa akin, well, we are friends.
	We do not want to quarrel with you.
	We want to maintain the present warm relationship.
	But if you force the ACO, we'll go to war.
	So he's saying, hey...
	I didn't hear the punchline.
	Oh, the punchline was, yeah, we can all pretend we're friends, but if you're going to get in my way, we're going to go to war.
	All right!
	He's going to go to war with China.
	And this came out this morning on the New York Times website.
	China killed or imprisoned up to 20 CIA sources between 2010 and 2012, the New York Times is reporting.
	Whether the US intelligence agency was hacked or whether a spy helped to identify the individuals is unclear.
	At least a dozen people providing information to the CIA were killed by the Chinese, according to the report, dismantling a network that was years in the making.
	Officials told the paper that one source was shot in front of a government building in China, saying the aim was to send out a warning to others about working with Washington.
	The CIA has declined to comment on the contents of the article.
	Somehow they'll blame Assange.
	You know, I was just about to say that the way I read this, it's going to be WikiLeaks.
	This is going to be Snowden.
	It's going to be Chelsea Manning.
	New York Times is corrupt.
	That's a setup.
	This just comes out.
	I don't know if they're talking about it on TV right now, but they should be.
	This is a big deal.
	I heard this story, but I think it was a foreign source.
	I don't think we have...
	This is not played on CBS. I know that.
	Well, it seems like the idea is we don't know if someone hacked and that's how they found out about the operatives.
	And this is what's always being said is that operations like WikiLeaks and other whistleblowers, they put intelligence assets in life-threatening danger.
	Right.
	And here we have some form of proof.
	This may still just be bubbling under, but I just had to get that out there because I feel like...
	I know.
	I think it's definitely...
	I think the timing is good.
	I knew that story.
	I didn't bring it on the show.
	I could have.
	I didn't.
	That's all right.
	This is why we're a duo.
	I didn't have a clip.
	This is why we're a dynamic duo.
	I do have one last clip.
	You want to set it a little lighter?
	Well, I gave you the 10-minute warning.
	I have the end tune going, but okay.
	Oh, you do?
	I can't hear it.
	Oh.
	Well, I stopped it now anyway, so let's do your last clip.
	Yeah, let's do your last clip then.
	Okay, I'm going to play a clip from a show, a TV show called Mrs.
	Secretary.
	It's about Hillary Clinton when she was the Secretary of State.
	It's with Te Leone.
	Te Leone.
	Love her.
	Now, this is a standard storyline, and I noticed this last week, this was going on and on and on.
	If all the liberals in Hollywood...
	I want to make a kumbaya moment for everyone so we're all one happy family, one world government, and we're all one.
	No nations, no borders, no genders.
	Why do they continually, without Without stopping, these liberals...
	I don't like to use the word like that, but the writers in Hollywood are all pretty liberals.
	Liberal, liberal.
	Why do they keep doing these anti-Muslim stories they never stop with?
	And I'm saying this on behalf of all of our dudes named Mohammed out there and everybody else.
	This is just a clip from the show, Out of the Blue.
	It's ridiculous.
	When they spoke among themselves...
	It was mostly in Arabic, but sometimes they'd speak in broken English.
	What did they say?
	Right before we went into the tunnel, Ramjan told Hamid something about a fee for a room.
	Like a hotel room?
	That's all I heard.
	Fee for room.
	I don't think they're speaking in broken English.
	What do you mean?
	Room in Arabic is Rome.
	Fi is in.
	Fi a room.
	It means in Rome.
	Room service?
	Are we in touch with Italian Armed Forces?
	We're establishing a link with Defense Minister Bellucci now.
	On the side of the drone?
	It was just spotted over Farentino, 40 miles southeast of us.
	Heading 4-27-07.
	It's a straight shot to Vatican City.
	Ever since its inception, Al-Qaeda's been trying to even the score for the Crusades.
	They're after the Pope?
	Head of the infidels.
	Yeah, there's a lot of that on that show.
	Stop with these stories if you're so sincere about all this stuff.
	There's a lot of that.
	I like that show, though.
	I like it a lot.
	And, of course...
	He's like tail to you when he's just kind of...
	My buddy.
	My buddy.
	The secretary's secretary.
	He used to do a podcast on a pod show.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, he's a good guy.
	He also did Jersey Boys.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, good guy.
	Yeah.
	I thank you so much for tuning in to the best podcast in the universe.
	Remember, we have another show on the way.
	That will be Thursday.
	Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. Until then, in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where there's...
	I think we're in a drone-free zone.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We will return in our drone-free zone.
	At least I'm in FEMA Region 5.
	On Thursday.
	Until then...
	No nations.
	No borders.
	No agenda.
	Adios, mofos!
	And stay woke, my millennials.
	You want answers?
	I want the truth!
	You can't handle the truth!
	Hey now y'all, can we just get real?
	Do we really care about our fans or is this just another deal?
	Is it another way that we lost our way?
	Social's about the people, remember?
	We are people.
	Do we really need another like, fan, or share?
	Do we need another post to show up everywhere?
	I hope as we scatter that we never forget that our posts live forever even when we go to bed.
	Connect with me.
	Let's have some fun.
	Let's show the world how this gets done.
	Let's get social.
	Social!
	With social media.
	Let's get social.
	with social media.
	We can spread the word and grow our reach and find our fans in their newest feed.
	Let's get social.
	With social media.
	Give it up, Mary McCoy.
	Woo!
	Here's what I've said.
	I've said that we need the information.
	We need to connect the dots.
	And we've got to drill down.
	We've got to connect the dots.
	Get the facts.
	Connect the dots.
	Do everything that I possibly can to help connect the dots.
	I've said we've got to connect the dots.
	I've always said...
	If we connect the dots, I believe that they should have to connect the dots if we're able to connect the dots.
	And if we determine the facts, if the dots are connected, let's get to the bottom of it all.
	Let's see if the dots connect.
	Screen and television sets.
	It's good to have you on the show.
	Yes, this is a national crisis.
	It's Washington Post, New York Times, Wall Street.
	It's good to have you on the show.
	Yes, this is a national crisis.
	We need to...
	Why don't you put your creativity hat on for us, for example?
	Crap, I've got to put some Tony Blinken back into this.
	Tony, I don't know if you want to respond to any of that, but he's seemingly isolated.
	It's good to have you on the show.
	We have heard in the last 24 hours that the U.S. President needs to...
	Yes, this is a national crisis.
	We need to think creatively about what to do.
	The Speaker of the House, you've got on there.
	It's good to have you on the show.
	We have...
	500,000 of it from Terry McCall.
	Make sure impeachment is out of our reach. Make sure impeachment is out of our reach.
	Make sure impeachment is out of our reach.
	Why don't you put your creativity hat on for us, for example?
	Such a creativity hat on for us for us.
	What's on my mind?
	Everybody, what's on my mind?
	Everybody, it's good to have you on the show.
	Yes, this is a national crisis.
	Can I just say something?
	Screaming at television sets.
	It's good to have you on the show.
	Hey, you N-word.
	How you doing on that I-word thing? .
	How you doing on that I-word thing?
	I haven't heard that.
	In the last 24 hours, we keep hearing that I-word a lot.
	I haven't heard that.
	It's not impeach, John.
	It's the I-word.
	The Island It was the Central What time is it?
	Fuck!
	It's not impeach, John.
	It's the I-word.
	It's every, clip after clip with I-word impeachment, I-word, I-word impeachment.
	The I word, the F word, the R word, the S word, the M word.
	You're going to say something.
	Which end is it?
	It's every clip after clip with I word impeachment.
	I-word, I-word, impeachment.

	The script.
	The script.
	The I-word.
