	He's the god of hellfire.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	And Sunday, May 28, 2017, this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 933.
	This is no agenda.
	We need to always begin the begin and begin broadcasting live from the darkest corners of the internet here in the capital of the Drone Star State, downtown Austin, Tejas, in the colludio in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's overcast and miserable, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Wow, nice energy level.
	Really rocked.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's Begin the Begin, by the way.
	I know that, John, but it was so hard to recognize from your playing it.
	What?
	You said I played it, nailed it.
	It's Begin the Begin.
	Yeah, I got it.
	And you know, people, you don't show up for the live stream, you don't get the concert.
	That's all I can say.
	They're ahead of the game.
	Yes.
	Well, happy Memorial Day.
	I don't know if we're supposed to be happy about Memorial Day.
	No.
	Although in America, most people are happy about Memorial Day because it's usually time for a mattress sale.
	And again, it's truck month.
	I'm sure of it.
	But thank you for the newsletter.
	You told me something I did not know.
	And quite frankly, I'm surprised that this opportunity was missed.
	By the social justice warriors, Memorial Day is inherently racist.
	It is.
	It's a racist holiday, and I had no idea.
	And I think that, again, the opportunity was missed by many.
	Yeah, they blew it.
	You want to explain?
	Well, yeah, Memorial Day actually began as a Confederate state's holiday called Memorial Day, and it was in 1866.
	And then it was to celebrate both the South and the death of the Confederate soldiers.
	Yeah.
	The wiki page does a very good job of discussing this, although it's kind of scattered.
	And I just want to explain for people who don't know immediately.
	And then two years later— Everything Confederate in America, Confederate flags, Confederate generals, statues, it's all racist, all has to go.
	And so two years later, the North adopted a similar holiday to celebrate its dead soldiers.
	Which was also racist.
	Called Decoration Day.
	Oh.
	And then, so those two holidays kind of competed with each other, Memorial Day and Decoration Day, until about the early 1900s, when they were consolidated by the government to one holiday called Memorial Day, named, in other words, they took the Confederate name, which was a better name than Decoration Day.
	Right, right.
	And that's the holiday we now celebrate.
	Well, I think the opportunity that was missed was to revert from Memorial Day to Decoration Day.
	That would have probably accomplished what they were trying to accomplish.
	This will come up.
	It must.
	I think what you're pointing out is that we haven't gotten there yet.
	Exactly.
	Well, no.
	People just didn't know.
	I was like, oh, man, we missed this opportunity.
	We could have gone to Hot Topic and got some scarves, and we could have LARPed around a bit.
	Would have been beautiful.
	Yeah.
	But this is an interesting time in America.
	Certainly in a college town like Austin, Texas.
	When everyone's graduating, we have...
	Oh man, we got commencement.
	Commencement is what it's called.
	Yes.
	Commencement.
	I actually have a clip.
	Oh!
	What you got?
	This is the University of Texas.
	They had it on C-SPAN. They were going to play the entire...
	I couldn't stand it.
	They were going to play the entire...
	Commencement speech at UTA. Just so you understand, in America, when you graduate, then you want to have someone who went to your university come and speak.
	And if you're lucky and if you're a good university, it's someone of great stature.
	And they will send you on your way.
	And the most famous one was Steve Jobs.
	In my lifetime, Steve Jobs before he died.
	And he had a really nice commencement speech there.
	Was it Stanford?
	Yeah, I believe so, yes.
	So who was at UT? I think it was Pee Wee Herman.
	No.
	No?
	I can't remember.
	But anyway, this was kind of a little clip from their presentation on C-SPAN. This is the most popular degrees.
	In fact, before we play it, I can do a little ask at it.
	What do you think the most popular degree at UTA would be?
	It is either gender studies in media, or...
	It's true.
	Or maybe it would be political science.
	Wrong and wrong.
	Oh, man.
	Let's play the clip.
	If I knew which clip it was, I would.
	Most popular...
	Degrees UTA. Longhorn degrees that are about to be conferred.
	6,779 will be getting their bachelor's degrees.
	2,091 their master's degrees.
	And 799 will be obtaining their doctoral degrees.
	Among those graduating with bachelor degrees, the three most popular majors for this year in order are...
	Number one, business administration.
	Number two, economics.
	Number three, accounting.
	Number four, finance.
	A bunch of bankers?
	I guess.
	That's very surprising.
	That surprises the heck out of me.
	Oh my gosh.
	I was kind of stunned by it too.
	I didn't realize.
	Was this like the parade voiceover that we were listening to?
	No, no.
	They were showing a real-time picture of the people sitting waiting.
	And I guess the UTA band was playing that song.
	I picked out four Celebrity commencement speeches that I thought would be interesting to share with the group.
	Since we're on that, good.
	Because I got some clips from the Hillary one.
	Which had another coughing fit.
	Do you want to start with?
	I have that too, obviously.
	Why don't I just play my version?
	I spent a lot of time editing it down.
	The coughing?
	Yeah.
	You have the coughing clip?
	Yes, of course I have the coughing clip.
	Oh, dynamite.
	You know...
	This is at Wellesley College, where she graduated from.
	Is that still all-girl?
	Like all-girl school?
	I think men are now, they have a couple guys in there.
	As long as they wear the pink hat.
	You know, four years ago...
	I want to remind you.
	She had these coughing fits during speeches six months ago, seven months ago, a year ago.
	It hasn't let up.
	I'm not going to speculate.
	Let's just call it emotion.
	It's emotion.
	You know, four years ago, Maybe a little more or less.
	Here we go.
	For some of you.
	So, man, I've got to get a lozenge.
	The lozenge.
	What was interesting on the video, with the minute the first cough came, there were two women seated on either side of her who immediately jumped to attention.
	Yeah, one with the water.
	One with the water, one with the lozenge.
	And everyone's clapping and laughing.
	Oh, yes.
	Okay.
	Oh!
	She took a lozenge!
	Woo!
	Lozenge, lozenge.
	Good.
	Good dog, Vinny.
	Yeah.
	I told the trustees I was sitting with after hearing Tala's speech.
	You know what it sounds like, don't you?
	She's got to take a dump!
	I didn't think I could get through it.
	So we'll blame allergy instead of emotion.
	Oh, it's emotion, John.
	So stupid of me.
	But, you know, you arrived at this campus...
	There's the water.
	Woo!
	Water!
	Yeah!
	Water!
	Damn!
	A bottle!
	You arrived from all over.
	You joined students from 49 states and 58 countries.
	Now maybe you felt like you belonged right away.
	I doubt it.
	But maybe some of you did and you've never wavered.
	But maybe you changed your major three times and your hairstyle twice as many as that.
	Ahem.
	Or maybe after your first month of classes, you made a frantic collect call.
	Ask your parents what that was.
	To tell your mother and father you weren't smart enough to be here.
	Here we go.
	My father said, okay, come home.
	Of course.
	Stupid-ass man.
	Dumb, dumb dude.
	Oh, what a moron.
	Well, if she'd follow his advice, we'd never have her win the popular vote.
	We'd never have her coffee.
	My mother said, you have to stick it out.
	Woo, mom!
	That's what happened to me.
	Yeah, I think she misunderstood.
	Huh?
	Her mom actually told the dad to stick it out.
	That's what happened to me.
	You're horrible.
	You're horrible.
	But whatever your past, you dream big.
	I think.
	You probably, in true Wellesley fashion, planned your academic and extracurricular schedule right down to the minute.
	As President Johnson said, I spoke at my commencement 48 years ago.
	I came back 25 years ago to speak at another commencement.
	I couldn't think of any place I'd rather be this year than right here.
	You can see us so much better.
	Woo, yeah!
	Alright, there she is.
	Well, that's a better one than I had when I had that.
	I didn't put it in.
	No, I spent a lot of time chopping it up.
	Yeah, that's good, because you caught all of it.
	Since we're talking about her...
	Since I have two clips about this speech, I'm noticing, you know, I've been bitching about PBS recently being, obviously turning itself over, and I watched the show again this week, the NewsHour, and I really now am more convinced than ever that it was Gwen Ifill who actually was keeping it a little balanced?
	It was keeping it on the straight and narrow.
	What you're referring to mainly is that PBS has taken up the habit of having two people on one side of an argument and then arguing that the other side is wrong but there's no one there to defend it.
	Well, there's that, but now I'm noticing a lot of anti-Trump stuff, and I'm also noticing a mirroring of what's going on on CBS. There were two stories in particular.
	One was on the Clinton speech, even though they took different clips, and the second one, which we'll talk about a little later, is on this meme going around about Mr.
	Rogers.
	Okay.
	And both CBS and PBS are running these almost identical stories, especially the Mr.
	Rogers thing.
	It was unbelievable.
	I mean, I don't know what PR people were behind it, but it was Pretty genius.
	But let's listen to Hillary.
	First on PBS. She's on...
	They just throw a gratuitous...
	She says a lot of stuff.
	It's not all anti-Trump, but let's just use that.
	Back in this country, Hillary Clinton delivered a searing critique of President Trump's policies in a commencement address.
	She spoke at her alma mater, Wellesley College in Massachusetts.
	Without naming the president directly, she branded his budget an attack of unimaginable cruelty against the most vulnerable.
	She also charged there's a full-fledged assault on truth and reason.
	When people in power invent their own facts and attack those who question them, it can mark the beginning of the end of a free society.
	We're all going to die.
	And then they just go on to something else.
	Thanks, Hills.
	We know we're all going to die.
	Now, on the other hand, CBS... Played another little bit that was attacking Trump in a kind of a manner where she's talking about Nixon, but actually talking about Trump.
	Unfortunately, they had to comment at the end because she screwed up.
	They never pointed it out like they would if it was Trump.
	They never said, well...
	Oh, don't tell me.
	Don't tell me.
	Can we guess what...
	Can we just listen to it and guess, or does it not work out?
	Well, you'll know it immediately.
	Oh, okay.
	All right.
	Hit it.
	Hillary Clinton, Wellesley College, class of 69, returned to her alma mater today to deliver the commencement address.
	She spoke about the man who was in the White House when she graduated, but seemed to be making a veiled reference to the man who's there now.
	We were furious about the past presidential election.
	The royal we.
	Of a man whose presidency would eventually end in disgrace with his impeachment for obstruction of justice.
	After firing the person running the investigation into him at the Department of Justice.
	Clinton was speaking, of course, of President Nixon, who resigned before the House could impeach him.
	Isn't it interesting that she was also fired during the Nixon impeachment?
	Was it a Nixon impeachment that she was at the law firm and she got fired?
	I don't know that story.
	From the impeachment team?
	Yeah, I think so.
	Well, she said he was impeached and he wasn't.
	No, he wasn't.
	And so CBS, instead of pointing this out that she made a huge error blender, you know, she was making up her own facts which means the end of civilization.
	So she made up her own facts and they just slipstreamed the correction.
	Very subtly.
	It was very slick.
	Let me hear the slickness again.
	Hold on one second.
	And in disgrace with his impeachment for obstruction of justice.
	Ha ha!
	After firing the person running the investigation into him at the Department of Justice.
	Clinton was speaking, of course, of President Nixon, who resigned before the House could impeach him.
	Yeah.
	Hey, good cover, guys.
	Instead of, no!
	Fact check false!
	I can't believe she doesn't even know that he was...
	That was exactly...
	That was my impersonation.
	That would be the normal way it would be done if it was anybody but her.
	Anybody but her.
	Exactly.
	Well, let's move on to...
	Let's see.
	This is the Kennedy Law School, which is Harvard, I believe.
	That would be the...
	No?
	I'll look it up.
	I don't remember if it's Harvard.
	Maybe it's Northeastern?
	Mm-hmm.
	No, that's definitely not.
	Well, I think it's a part of Harvard.
	It would be the Casey Stingle Law School, I believe.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Okay.
	Let's look at Kennedy Law School.
	I'm sorry to all the Northeastern graduates.
	Yeah, I know.
	We're really sucking bad.
	Which is a huge school, by the way.
	Huge.
	Yeah, it's Randall L. Kennedy Harvard Law School.
	The Harvard Kennedy Law School.
	Okay, you're right.
	Alma mater?
	To John Kerry.
	Yes.
	Short clip.
	John F. Kerry?
	John F. J. F. Kerry, as he likes to say.
	And he was funny!
	But I should tell you...
	There are plenty of things about government that I actually don't miss, but I have one regret.
	It's that Alec Baldwin never did an impersonation of me.
	Yes, that's because we'd have to turn the TV sideways to fit your big head in it.
	Let alone Melissa McCarthy, which would be interesting.
	I'm often asked what the secret is.
	I was just up at a luncheon and we were having some conversation about government.
	And I've been asked, what is the secret to having a real impact on government?
	Well, it's recently changed.
	Uh-oh.
	Uh-oh.
	What do you think you could do to have a real impact?
	What is this guy doing stand-up?
	Yes.
	He's not getting any laughs on those other jokes.
	No, he's getting more like...
	So when you're a college student, especially at a big school, you're not really watching a lot of television.
	No.
	Not in a law school.
	So what do you think his advice is to the kids graduating from?
	Get a job at Chuck E. Cheese?
	I have no idea.
	I used to say either run for office or get a degree from the Harvard Kennedy School.
	With this White House, I'd say buy Rosetta Stone and learn Russian.
	Whoa!
	Oh, jeez.
	It just went downhill from there.
	Oh, man.
	And meanwhile, at the real Harvard, where I'm sure he wanted to be...
	Yeah, there he is, ladies and gentlemen.
	The hero of the day, Mark Zuckerberg.
	Woo!
	Mark Zuckerberg.
	And he is so full of himself.
	He almost doesn't seem real when you look at him.
	I find that he has some form of...
	He's got some mental...
	I mean, he's got to be like an Asperger's or something like that so he can concentrate on what he, because he's a specialist in what he does.
	And there's no doubt that he does it well.
	But he doesn't seem to connect at all with any normal person.
	He also, well, first of all, just looking at his face, I'm thinking, and I'm surprised that, well, I can't be right because you would have picked up on it.
	I'm thinking vasectomy.
	Uh, hmm.
	He has...
	You've got to look at the eyes.
	He's got a pasty face.
	Very, very feminine eyes.
	I could be wrong.
	Maybe.
	It's possible.
	He could be a vasectomy victim.
	Victim.
	Ah, but he's got some grand plans for the No Borders, No Nations people.
	Now, today, we have a level of wealth inequality that hurts everyone.
	It hurts everyone, John, because...
	Oh, by the way, as we all listen to this, as I haven't heard this, we have to remember that he is being promoted as a candidate for president in 2020.
	Yes!
	Can you imagine?
	This would be great.
	Oh, my God.
	We'll have to continue the show.
	Yeah, we definitely have to.
	We can't.
	We'll have to continue, for sure.
	Now, today...
	We have a level of wealth inequality that hurts everyone.
	Yes, oh yeah.
	It's some of the best times in man's history.
	But now, wealth inequality, it hurts everyone.
	The funny thing is, the way he speaks, because he's kind of a mumbler.
	He doesn't enunciate certain words.
	He speaks pretty well here.
	To me, when I heard it, I said, wealth and equality.
	We have a level of wealth and equality.
	Yeah, I don't think he said that.
	No, I don't think he said it either, because he's towing the Democratic Party line.
	When you don't have the freedom to take your idea and turn it into a historic enterprise, we all lose.
	When you don't have the freedom to take your idea and turn it into a historic enterprise, we all lose.
	Because you don't have freedom, you see?
	You're not free.
	He has a solution, and he will discuss what you need to be free.
	But you're not free.
	You have no freedom.
	And right now, today, our society is way over-indexed on rewarding people when they're successful, and we don't do nearly enough to make sure that everyone can take lots of different jobs.
	Don't.
	Because I know you're not listening when you do that.
	Over-indexed?
	It's over-indexed, man.
	Is he going to just deal out nothing but Silicon Valley buzzwords?
	Yeah.
	Lots of different shots.
	Now let's face it.
	There is something wrong with our system when I can leave here and make billions of dollars in ten years while millions of students can't even afford to pay off their loans, let alone start a business.
	Woo!
	Smattering of applause?
	Yes.
	Didn't he drop out?
	It was also raining like crazy.
	Everyone was pissed off.
	It was a very wet commencement.
	I believe he did drop out, yes.
	But he stayed longer than Gates did.
	Yeah, but still, I mean, he's saying, it's crazy.
	I left, and I had all the opportunity in the world, and you can't even pay off your loans, schmucks.
	Look.
	Look.
	I know a lot of entrepreneurs.
	Look.
	And I don't know a single person who gave up on starting a business because they were worried they might not make enough money.
	But I know too many people who haven't had the chance to pursue their dreams because they didn't have a cushion to fall back on if they failed.
	What?
	I'm sorry.
	That is dumb.
	In my opinion, as an entrepreneur, it is exactly that lack of a cushion that drives you.
	Not having one.
	If you have a cushion under socialism, like the eastern USSR used to have a cushion for you, you weren't going to do anything.
	No, you just hung out and smoked weed.
	Or drink vodka.
	I like that.
	He's definitely got a skewed view of the world.
	Also, I want to mention this.
	Not everybody...
	Wants to be an entrepreneur changing the world.
	A lot of people don't care.
	They just as soon have a job or they could be trustafarians.
	People living off their parents' inheritance.
	A lot of people like to do...
	They might be involved in the ballet or they might be involved in art galleries.
	There's all kinds of things besides starting a business.
	Or maybe just take a vow of poverty, become a podcaster.
	There's tons of things you can do.
	That's always an option.
	Back on if they failed.
	We all know you don't get successful just by having a good idea or working hard.
	No?
	You get successful by being lucky, too.
	Oh, okay.
	Luck, John.
	It's luck.
	Now, in my mind, luck is where preparation meets opportunity.
	What do you mean?
	Oh, God.
	Go on.
	What?
	What is luck to you?
	Luck is what it is.
	Business luck.
	Business luck.
	Business luck is more...
	Work than just pure luck.
	I mean, it's not as though you're standing there and somebody drives by.
	Hey, you're a good looking guy.
	Here's a million dollars.
	I mean, a TV show used to have a guy that did that.
	But luck is...
	But what he's referring to here is being lucky as having a cushion.
	No.
	Yes.
	Yes, that's what...
	No, I'll tell you what it is.
	No.
	Okay.
	What he's referring to is that...
	Is that Democratic meme that Obama promoted and became a big deal, which was...
	You didn't do it on your own.
	Luck is the fact that you're in this country where we built the roads and we built the infrastructure and all the things that allowed you to do what you can do.
	You didn't do anything.
	You just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
	That's the luck aspect of it.
	I don't think that's what he's aiming at here.
	Let's listen to the rest.
	I agree that that is certainly the Obama, Elizabeth Warren meme.
	She really propagated that, but I think...
	Yeah, she's actually the one that pumped it the most.
	Yeah, I think he's saying something different.
	...get successful just by having a good idea or working hard.
	You get successful by being lucky, too.
	If I had to support my family growing up instead of having the time to learn how to code...
	If I didn't know that I was going to be fine, if Facebook didn't work out, then I wouldn't be standing up here today.
	Really?
	That's surprising to me.
	What did he say?
	What he's saying is, if I didn't know that Facebook failed, I'd still be okay.
	I guess his family has money.
	I don't know.
	Some money.
	Well, he went to Harvard.
	Yeah.
	He's saying, well, if I didn't have that cushion, then I never would have been standing here.
	I think that's total horse crap.
	It may be his experience.
	It may be the way he did it.
	But most successful entrepreneurs don't really have that story.
	You know, it's like we were broke.
	I was eating, you know, charging everything on the credit card, eating ramen.
	That's the story.
	Even Gates' story, which is similar to this, because his dad was a, you know, wealthy lawyer.
	But Gates' story is different.
	His failure story is slightly different.
	Gates' story was that if Microsoft failed and all this didn't go well, I always, I'm telling you, he used to say this, I always knew I could make it as a coder.
	Great.
	If Facebook didn't work out, then I wouldn't be standing up here today.
	Every generation expands its definition of equality.
	Ready?
	Previous generations fought for the vote and civil rights.
	Yeah?
	They had the New Deal and Great Society.
	What should we do?
	Come on, John.
	You should know this.
	You should already know where he's aiming.
	No, I don't.
	Oh.
	And now it's time for our generation to define a new social contract.
	Here we go!
	We should have a society that measures progress not just by economic metrics like GDP, but by how many of us have a role we find meaningful.
	We should explore ideas like Universal Basic Income to make sure that everyone has a cushion to try new ideas.
	There you go.
	We need Universal Basic Income so that people can go out and try and build the next Facebook with an idea, but with a cushion.
	So that, you know, if you fail, like, eh, whatever, I failed.
	Can you imagine all the bros out there with a Universal Basic Income actually starting a business?
	Yeah, I get a very...
	Ruskies, man!
	We're all going to change jobs and roles many times, so we need affordable childcare to get to work and healthcare that's not tied to just one employer.
	And healthcare that's not tied to just one employer.
	What is he angling at to lower his cost of insurance?
	I don't know why he's paying too much.
	Healthcare that's not tied to just one employer.
	And I hate to be the employer.
	And we're all going to make mistakes.
	So we need a society that's less focused on locking us up and stigmatizing us when we do.
	And as our technology keeps on evolving, we need a society that is more focused on providing continuous education through our lives.
	He's talking about coders.
	Giving everyone the freedom to pursue purpose isn't going to be free.
	People like me should pay for it.
	Yeah!
	Oh, hey, hey, hey, you can always send...
	I'm all for that.
	Yeah, you can send the check anytime.
	I said that wealth tax is the way to take care of this, but how come these same guys who say what he just said are against the wealth tax?
	And a lot of you are going to do really well, and you should too.
	You should too.
	That is why Priscilla and I started the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and committed our wealth to promoting equal opportunity.
	Yeah, which is kind of a scam because we all know exactly what that non-profit of yours is about.
	It's about profit.
	But my favorite commencement speech for this season for the 2017 graduating class...
	This is now your beat, you know.
	Yeah, I think we've done it in the past.
	I think we've had a couple.
	I remember Condoleezza Rice.
	We had a few.
	We did a few, yeah.
	There's probably another week of them, so you have to do another segment.
	If anything's good, I will.
	This is from renowned climate scientist Dr.
	Michael E. Mann.
	We remember him, don't we, John?
	Michael Mann.
	Yes.
	Front and center in many of the ClimateGate scandals.
	He is the developer of the Hockey Stick Curve.
	Right.
	The debunked, roundly debunked hockey stick curve.
	Nice callback to the previous episode, Mr.
	Dvorak.
	Well done.
	Roundly, roundly debunked.
	And he talks about himself a lot, as you do in these commencement speeches.
	He is an alum of the Green Mountain College, which I believe is up in Washington.
	Is it not?
	No, you're thinking of Evergreen.
	The Green Mountain is in New Hampshire.
	I'm sorry.
	It's probably New Hampshire.
	I think it is New Hampshire.
	I think you're right.
	And he went very far in, well, I mean, fact check, false.
	I went on to study theoretical physics in graduate school and then moved into the then-virgining field of climate research.
	My path of discovery would ultimately lead me to publish the now iconic hockey stick curve in the late 1990s.
	The curve tells an unmistakable story, namely that the current warming spike is unprecedented as far back as we can go.
	Our continued burning of fossil fuels is the culprit.
	And fossil fuel interests and front groups and politicians doing their bidding attacked it.
	And they attacked me personally.
	Despite the numerous independent confirmations of those findings by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and dozens of other assessments, the effort to discredit this research and discredit me personally has continued.
	I've become convinced that there is no more noble pursuit.
	We can engage in them to seek to ensure that policy is informed by an objective assessment of scientific evidence.
	I hate you, sir.
	I You're going to miss it if you do.
	...formed by an objective assessment of scientific evidence.
	That evidence now shows us that we face a stark choice between a future with a little more climate change that we will still have to adapt to and cope with, or one with catastrophic climate change that will threaten the future of life as we know it.
	And don't be afraid, though.
	Hey, welcome to the world.
	And so here we are at a crossroads.
	Let me be blunt.
	Never before have we witnessed science under the kind of assault it is being subject to right now in this country.
	Nor have we witnessed an assault on the environment like the one we are witnessing in the current political atmosphere.
	I will borrow and adapt for our current time and place the words of Martin Niemöller.
	Okay.
	Now this is where it gets really twisted.
	And I had a hard time believing that he actually did this.
	Martin Niemöller, very famous speech.
	I will read it to you.
	You know this because we've said this is recanted everywhere.
	First they came for the socialists and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist.
	Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
	Then they came for the Jews but I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
	And then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me.
	So he's going to speak these iconic and legendary words.
	I will borrow and adapt for our current time and place.
	The words of Martin Niemö, a prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps.
	First they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out because I was not an immigrant.
	Then they came for the scientists, and I did not speak out because I was not a scientist.
	Then they came for the environmentalists, and I did not speak out because I was not an environmentalist.
	Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.
	What?
	Yeah.
	That's insulting.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	He's completely taking a Jewish experience away, although the guy who said this quote was not even a Jew, but he didn't spend the rest of his life in a concentration camp.
	But, you know, just to do that and to make that comparison, and of course, I've got to have the Hitler meme in there.
	Friends, let this not be our legacy.
	My good friend Bill Nye, whom I marched with in Washington, D.C. a few weeks ago.
	This is great, because not only does he mangle...
	You know, well, Mango purposely ruined that quote.
	Now he's going to misquote Bill Nye.
	In Washington, D.C. a few weeks ago at the March for Science, often ends his lectures with the exhortation, change the world.
	Uh, no, douchebag.
	It's save the world.
	Save the world!
	Okay, not change the world, save the world, idiot.
	I can't say it as well as what says it.
	But let me go just a bit further.
	Let me ask each of you to change the world.
	This guy, obviously, that's how his data turned into the hockey stick.
	Yeah.
	Roundly debunked hockey stick.
	Exactly.
	He just misappropriates and makes mistakes.
	Well, it gets better, because then I went looking for this guy.
	I said, wait a minute, he's doing interviews, he's out there.
	This is from the science march, because he referenced that with Bill Nye.
	He marched with Bill, and someone caught an interview with him, which I think was on Reason TV, and I took a clip from it, which I thought was spot on for just the bull crap from one of the leading guys in this movement.
	When you consider that, you know, somewhere between 97 and 99% of the scientific community.
	What?
	So here's a scientist who can't even give the exact number of the bullcrap number of scientists who think there's something going on with the man-made global warming.
	He's implying all scientists.
	Yeah, of course, but he's also saying 97, could be 99, somewhere in between.
	He's jacking it up.
	He's jacking it up, yeah.
	Somewhere between 97 and 99% of the scientific community recognizes that climate change is real.
	The whole scientific community recognizes climate change is real.
	Hey, I recognize climate change is real.
	Absolutely.
	I'm just not in the way it's happening.
	And human-caused.
	And yet at this hearing, I was really the only scientist of the four witnesses representing the scientific consensus.
	Yeah, this was the House hearing on March.
	This was actually in April.
	The House hearing was on March 29th.
	The other three individuals have contrarian views about the science, about either the basic science of climate change or deny the impacts that climate change is having.
	So I felt it was important to fight the fact that the deck was obviously stacked against me with three contrarian witnesses.
	I felt it was important to make sure that there was a voice for science.
	Science!
	At that hearing.
	And I feel pretty well about the way things went.
	I mean in the end, the other side doesn't have the science on their side.
	You don't have the science, you see.
	And they don't have an honest case to make.
	No, and let me guess.
	Wait, is he talking about his computer models that have to be constantly adjusted for the errors that are inherent to computer models?
	Is that what he's talking about?
	And he's calling that science?
	Yes.
	Well, whatever it is, the other side doesn't have it.
	They got computers?
	No, the science.
	See, the science is, I don't think it's the same as science.
	The science is his science.
	You understand the subtlety here?
	I mean, in the end, the other side doesn't have the science.
	The science.
	It's subtle, but he's truthful here.
	He's the god of hellfire.
	...on their side.
	And they don't have an honest case to make because the science indicates that this problem is real.
	So that was really the main message.
	And again, I felt like the voice of science...
	Science has a voice now.
	...did actually get heard at that hearing.
	You have to look at...
	You know, their actions and their deeds, the current administration.
	Donald Trump is a climate change denier.
	He's appointed to head the EPA. Scott Pruitt, who's a climate change denier, who actually actively worked as Attorney General of Oklahoma to try to prevent the EPA from controlling carbon emissions.
	His Secretary of State...
	Rex Tillerson, the former CEO of ExxonMobil, the largest fossil fuel corporation in the world.
	So there's no mystery here about what's going on.
	The science of climate change has inconvenient implications for those who would like to see an agenda of ongoing Reliance on fossil fuels for energy.
	Individuals, corporations, front groups who have advocated for the fossil fuel industry now have a very prominent voice in our government.
	They're represented in the administration of Donald Trump and through Congressional Republicans like Lamar Smith, who held that hearing a few weeks ago.
	Attempting to call into question the overwhelming scientific consensus behind human-caused climate change.
	What has science done for you lately?
	The science is in!
	Science!
	Yep.
	Science be in.
	The science be in.
	And actually, the science not be in.
	Where's our checks from the fossil fuel industry?
	I know.
	Hey, Rex!
	Rex!
	Where's my Rex checks?
	It was a rex check.
	We had the big G7 summit.
	Where was it this year?
	It was...
	It was in Sicily.
	Yeah, Sicily.
	Correct.
	And didn't end well for climate change.
	There were scuffles in Sicily as protesters tried to break through a police cordon protecting world leaders of this year's G7. The violent scenes came at the end of a summit, which also finished in division.
	While US President Donald Trump backed a pledge to fight protectionism, he refused to endorse a major accord on climate change.
	Italy's Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni said, we have noted that six out of seven countries have confirmed their commitment to the Paris Agreement.
	This recommitment also took place at the G7 in Japan last year.
	The United States, however, is undergoing a review process.
	While there was no deal on climate, there was broad agreement on ways to tackle terrorism in the wake of the attack in Manchester.
	The French president said the debate during the G7 allowed us to advance very clearly in the struggle against terrorism.
	France has been hit in the last few years by terrorism, and I will remind you that the United Kingdom and Egypt in these past few days.
	The discussion was extremely rich on this subject, and it allowed us for the first time to sign a document resulting in a common commitment to fight terrorism on various fronts.
	Several African leaders also took part in the summit, with Italy deliberately holding the meeting in Sicily to highlight the issue of migration.
	But that only got a mention in the final communique, with security, trade and terrorism dominating.
	Now, there you go.
	Well, that whole thing about the terrorism thing was highlighted by, I think, Theresa May's comment.
	She did it at the event, and she did it later.
	And this is what she had to say about the internet.
	Yeah, there was a couple of things she said.
	The fight is moving from the battlefield to the internet.
	Today, I called on leaders to do more, to strengthen its work with tech companies on this vital agenda.
	We want companies to develop tools to identify and remove harmful materials automatically.
	I want to see them report this wild content to the authorities and block the users who spread it.
	Oh, block the users who...
	You should kill the users who spread it.
	You should kill them all.
	She said something else, too, about our intel leaks.
	We have a special relationship with the USA. It is our deepest defense and security partnership that we have.
	Of course, that partnership is built on trust.
	And part of that trust is knowing that intelligence can be shared confidently.
	And I will be making clear to President Trump today...
	That intelligence that is shared between law enforcement agencies must remain secure.
	Oh, yes.
	A little ruffled feathers there.
	Well, this stems from, of course, the leaking of the guy's name before the Brits released his name.
	Yep.
	And they, which I don't know that, and I don't know who they're even blaming this on, but it seems to me it came right out of the New York Times and CBS. It came right from the CIA, right to the media, right into the public domain.
	And for some reason this is Trump's fault.
	Well, I'm glad you bring that up.
	Let me see.
	Do I have the jingle here?
	Yeah.
	Spot the spook.
	Spot the spook.
	Everybody wants to spot the spook.
	That's right.
	Spot the spook.
	Well, I spotted him.
	Okay, who did you spot?
	I spotted the spook, and this is a very interesting spook, young guy.
	His name is Brian Dean Wright.
	He worked at CIA, you know, I think he got like foreign intelligence contacts.
	He has a pretty, it's short, but very impressive CIA. Okay.
	What?
	Well, I'm concerned that this is not really spotting any...
	I'm a spook when these guys got a resume that says, I'm a spook.
	When you show up as ex-CIA, he's now a journalist.
	Yeah.
	You know, this is the problem.
	You know, you get a guy that got beat up and somebody said, which is kind of...
	Yeah, I got that too.
	I got that too.
	But yeah.
	But it seems to me that the CIA is doing the world of journalism no good.
	Not only having half the people on the payroll, it seems, from Operation Mockingbird, but then to have these guys with the credentials of the CIA out there posing as journalists.
	This is not a good thing.
	This is a bad atmosphere.
	Wait until you hear this guy.
	He is going to...
	The way I see it...
	Where'd you see him?
	The way I see it.
	On Tucker.
	The way I... Here's what I see is happening.
	CIA has been leaking to journalists for a long time.
	And this time, they went too far.
	And specifically, the New York Times went too far.
	And the CIA is pissed off about it.
	So they send out their team...
	And this guy, when you listen to his opening statement, it's completely rehearsed.
	Every single line, and he even starts with a big...
	And he launches into it.
	And I was sitting there with Tina, and I'm like, holy shit, this guy is reading a rehearsed speech.
	Listen.
	So I'm confused even by the motive of some of these leaks.
	I mean, some of them are clearly designed to hurt the new president.
	Some of them just seem nihilistic and designed to hurt the country itself.
	What is this about?
	What?
	Nobody thinks of consequences anymore, do they?
	Wow.
	Because if you think about...
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	When I heard that, I went boing-oing-oing.
	What?
	This guy's coming with a completely prepared rehearse speech.
	Well, that's like a thing that a lot of speakers will do, even though you don't do it with a microphone like that.
	Is you take a deep breath and get ready to go.
	So he took, you know, he says, okay, I'm going to take on something.
	I'm going to get ready.
	This is what we rehearsed.
	This is the big minute.
	This is what we've been training for.
	We can do this.
	Come on.
	He actually needs the control room to go like, okay, you're almost up.
	Checkers leading into.
	Take a deep breath and go!
	What is this about?
	Nobody thinks of consequences anymore, do they?
	Because if you think about that, why did the New York Times run a piece with, you know, bloody clothes and bloody batteries?
	Look, it was not in the interest of the nation to see those kinds of details.
	Certainly not at this point and arguably ever.
	So what was that really about?
	It was about ego.
	It was about trying to make money.
	New York Times, you know, knows that if they get more viewers on their website or otherwise, more advertisers are going to come to them and more people are going to pay more money for it.
	So this was not about informing the American people or people around the world about something that was very important.
	It was about money and greed.
	Journalism has become greed in far too many parts of our country.
	That is deeply disturbing.
	Wow.
	Well done, son.
	You got it out all in one go.
	So that was a scolding.
	Oh, it didn't stop there.
	And officials Yeah.
	In the New York Times.
	And he's going to move on to politicians.
	This is hurting our country.
	I don't think there's any denying that at this point.
	You're absolutely right.
	Historically, leaks tend to come from either the Hill or from the White House.
	And what I think we have seen in the past six months is that we've got some leakers in our national security apparatuses.
	And I think that they're doing it, again, for purposes of their own ego, to make themselves feel good, or because they're weaponizing political information or intelligence.
	Yeah.
	But I have to tell you that they need to remind themselves, and whoever is both leaking this and, might I remind you, whoever...
	Whoa, they need to remind themselves, perk your ears up, you're going to get in trouble!
	...publishing this, that there are grave consequences for these choices.
	Let me give you an example.
	Imagine you're an informant, right?
	You're working abroad, and you know either that your information is going to be leaked or potentially could be leaked.
	Do you want to sign up for that?
	Do you want to go to that next meeting with...
	Oh, he's in the recruitment division!
	Oh, I see the problem.
	They can't get recruits now.
	The CIA officer, an MI5 officer, or would you want to work with the CIA or the MI5 or MI6 guys?
	The answer is maybe not.
	So that's why this has consequences.
	That's why this matters.
	In years...
	Do you hear this?
	He has been sent.
	The agency isn't concerned about what's happening to the country.
	The agency is concerned that they can't hire people anymore because they're not trusted.
	And this has to stop.
	That has to be based on actual feedback they're getting in the field.
	I'm sure of it.
	There is.
	Maybe not.
	So that's why this has consequences.
	That's why this matters.
	In years past, it was the political people who were doing the leaking.
	And now I used to laugh at the idea of a deep state.
	And then you watch this and you think, I mean, that's literally what it is.
	So let me ask you.
	Is literally talking to the deep state here, which is the thing that blows my mind.
	Final question.
	Why can't the identity of these people be rooted out?
	If I'm in a conflict with the IRS, they can pull my EZPass records, my phone records, they can find out everything about me.
	We can't figure out who's doing this because why?
	This has to be a priority by the FBI. And that's really what this comes down to.
	And it's a hard thing to find leakers, but there are tools out there.
	Now this is a little nod to the feds.
	FBI, hey guys, this is really your job to route this out.
	Even people within the previous administration or this one, they still have their security clearances, even if they don't work for the government anymore.
	Those folks can be called to task.
	Did you know that?
	When you leave, what he just said, even people from the previous administration still have their security clearances.
	Yeah, I know that.
	That doesn't go away.
	No.
	So they're getting top-secret information.
	If someone has it, they can give it to them.
	Yeah.
	And then they can go ahead and leak it.
	If they want.
	They can actually even be polygraphed.
	Ooh, I like that.
	My understanding is that the CIA polygraphs everyone once a year.
	Yes, we've heard this.
	But what he's saying here is politicians and journalists could get polygraphed.
	I think it's overdue.
	We're long overdue.
	Those folks can be called to task.
	They can actually even be polygraphed.
	So there are options, but it has to be a priority.
	And the FBI has to step up their game.
	Department of Justice has to make a priority.
	But no doubt about it, journalists have a certain degree of protection of their sources.
	But there is a breaking point, isn't there?
	I think as a society, we want information, but there's a point when it goes too far.
	And I think the line has been crossed.
	Whoa!
	Whoa, that's fighting words.
	For all practical purposes, it's never the case.
	They've got other problems.
	No.
	No.
	No, of course it's not.
	There's no way you can overcross.
	You can't really, unless you don't believe in the First Amendment, free speech, there's no line to be crossed.
	They can do whatever they want.
	But whose fault is it that they're putting this information out if it's being leaked to them?
	That's what they're going to do.
	There's some other issue going on here.
	CIA is leaking too much and they went too far.
	Yes, the CIA has gone too far, and that's the New York Times.
	They just do what they're told, and they do what they feel like.
	Yeah, they do what they do.
	And of course, the CIA's got this recruitment problem, I think you properly identified, which is not helped at all by the guys that the Chinese are shooting left and right.
	The Chinese are just picking guys off the streets, and you're a CIA guy, boom!
	They execute them.
	Yeah.
	You know, that's not covered very much.
	Yeah, we had one clip two shows ago, I think.
	They don't want to talk about it.
	No, what they want to talk about...
	They already have a recruitment problem, apparently, according to this guy, and they don't need that aggravation.
	They're never going to get anybody to work for them if you're going to get pulled off the street and shot.
	No, no.
	This reminds me, for some reason, of not talking about certain things like the CIA guys getting shot left and right.
	This is a story that only Fox is carrying in.
	It's really only Bret Baier that's discussing it to any extreme.
	You probably heard about it.
	But this is the clip.
	The FISA court rebukes the NSA. FISA court, as we've been doing this story for the past two days, really hasn't been picked up anyplace else.
	It was first covered by Circa News.
	Spike in the ball!
	The FISA court is harshly rebuking the Obama administration for essentially illegal searches on thousands of Americans.
	And there's not a lot of outrage.
	It's astounding that there's not a lot of outrage.
	It's astounding that you have covered it more than the networks combined.
	And I don't understand that, but I do understand that the FISA court has had an end run around by NSA, that NSA has been doing massive amount of spying, surveilling, capturing every keystroke on every iPhone and every desktop and every phone call and all fiber optic cable in the United States that they can without telling the FISA court about it.
	And the vast majority of it involving Tens of millions of Americans, maybe even hundreds of millions of Americans, is a profound violation of the Fourth Amendment.
	Now, for the FISA court to rebuke NSA is almost a joke.
	There's no sting to the rebuke.
	There's no consequence to the government.
	It's interesting that you said, spike in the ball, because I saw this story this morning in the New York Post, which was surprising to me.
	New York Post loves to butt-slam Trump.
	What's the headline here?
	Hold on a second.
	Uh...
	Is that the post?
	The Daily News is the one that butt slams Trump the most.
	The post is actually kind of on the fence.
	Agreed.
	So that's why I was surprised to see it in the New York.
	It was the New York Post.
	And the headline is, How Team Obama Tried to Hack the Election.
	Nice.
	But again, it's the thanks to Circa News.
	And I'm looking at Circa.
	Who the hell are these guys?
	Who the hell are they?
	Never heard of them.
	Who is Circa?
	Let me see.
	Who's funding them?
	Let's do a little work.
	Circa News.
	Real time.
	C-I-R-C-A. I'd like the War Room to participate in this.
	They have a wiki page, let's see, also known as Circa.
	Founded by Matt Galligan, Ben Hu, and Arsenio Santos.
	Who are these guys?
	See, Arsenio Santos.
	Hmm.
	I don't know who these guys are, John.
	I'm looking at their website.
	Well, I couldn't find it.
	They have no about page.
	No, they have it.
	It's just Circa.com.
	Oh, okay.
	They're under the ownership of the Sinclair Broadcast Group.
	Okay.
	Okay, so these are the guys.
	Republicans.
	They're Republicans, obviously, Sinclair.
	And these are the guys that Sinclair is threatening to do a Fox clone.
	Ah, well, something's happening because they're being promoted.
	So these guys are part of that.
	Well, they're being promoted by Fox.
	Fox should get a clue and just shut up.
	Yeah.
	But Circa and Sinclair is...
	And this is a very nice website.
	Interesting, John.
	Interesting.
	And this is why I think Hannity's taking his vacation.
	Yeah, he's doing negotiations with them.
	Hannity is...
	Not a dumb guy.
	And so he's going to go where the money is.
	And Fox is, you know, he thinks Fox is out to get him because they're changing everything.
	And he'll stay with Fox if they make an offer.
	They're firing him this week.
	I guarantee it.
	The Hillary hit list has an open slot.
	Maybe.
	But I'm not seeing it personally, because you look at the ratings, and the ratings are slipping badly.
	They don't give a crap about the ratings.
	They want to make sure that 2018 is for the Democrats.
	Could be.
	I'm thinking.
	I mean, I don't take that.
	That's not my thesis, but if you want to go there, it's fine.
	Whatever the case, and I said that on purpose, Serka and Sinclair are going to, they're seriously considering this.
	This is not a minor, this took years for Fox to turn the corner on profits.
	Starting a network, which can become extremely lucrative.
	And it wasn't until Obama became president that they really succeeded.
	If I recall correctly.
	I think you might be right.
	You might be right.
	But whatever is going on with Circa and Sinclair, they're probably, you know, wringing their hands right now.
	They're talking to Hannity and he's not going to come cheap.
	And they're going, oh, Jesus, this guy's going to cost a lot of money.
	I'm sure they're talking to O'Reilly.
	Yeah.
	Who's also not going to come cheap.
	These guys could just as soon retire and work their asses off for no money unless they get a piece of the action.
	But Sinclair is one of those operations that is not a Silicon Valley.
	If it's a Silicon Valley company, I'd say yes.
	They would do this.
	They would give everybody a piece of the action.
	This is a broadcast group.
	They're not going to give anybody a piece of nothing.
	They're not going to give anybody anything.
	Screw you.
	You're lucky to get residuals.
	Oh, please.
	You don't get residuals on cable.
	No, you don't get anything.
	And that's the point that I was going to say about residuals is that the only reason they even exist in Hollywood is because of the unions really getting together and then pretty much stopping all operations.
	But that's a small segment of the overall broadcasting scenery.
	And no, these guys, so they're not going to do anything.
	It's not going to work.
	So I'm predicting this network's never going to get off the ground.
	Hmm.
	Well...
	Sinclair's got the outlets.
	Sinclair is the operation that could make it happen.
	But they're more dedicated to their little greedy businesses than they are to making a statement like this.
	This is a big deal.
	Unless they get the right guy in.
	There could be some hot shot coming in from someone, you know, even a big executive.
	Where's Kevin Wendell?
	Kevin Wendell.
	Kevin Wendell.
	You know what?
	Get me Roger Stone.
	Yeah, so I'm not seeing this as anything.
	I think what's going to happen is Hannity's going to go back to Fox unless he gets fired this week, as you suggest.
	And he's just going to take a lot of money in and go a little more low-key and just ride it out.
	Hannity seems like he has enough money.
	He doesn't care about money.
	He could work for free for the rest of his life.
	Tell me a guy that makes that much money is going to ever do that.
	No, but I think that he...
	He could!
	Hannity has, you know, his whole persona is built around his patriotism and doing the right thing for the country.
	I fully expect him to do anything necessary to boost his ego that way.
	Well...
	I do.
	This all looks like it's not as easy as it looks to start this.
	I mean, Murdoch is the kind of guy, and I worked for a guy like this, as Bill Ziff was this way.
	They would throw a lot of money at something knowing they were going to lose it.
	Just lose it.
	And they were kind of cheap, but they would do these things.
	They would do this big money expense thing.
	They'd just throw bunches of money at something.
	Knowing that it would lose?
	Or just give it a shot?
	That's kind of the broadcast model.
	Throw everything against the wall, whatever sticks, and the rest you cut immediately.
	Yeah, well that's...
	But with the broadcast model that Murdoch had, this was not sticking against the wall that easy.
	No.
	Yeah, to have a vision.
	You guys have some visions.
	I think that helps.
	I don't think anyone at Sinclair has much of a vision, at least from my experience with them.
	I actually...
	I had my run-ins with them.
	Not a run-in.
	I liked the company, to be honest about it.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, during the HDTV switchover, they were so against it because they knew it was going to cost them a lot of money.
	It cost all the broadcasters a lot of money.
	You can't just change the HDTV overnight with no expense.
	You need encoders, man.
	So you ended up with these guys saying, oh my god, because they had a lot of stations, they still do, and they didn't want to do, and they had a million reasons why HDTV was no good, and ODFM, this antenna system.
	Oh, were they the guys suing against the...
	Yes!
	Oh, that was Sinclair, huh?
	Yeah, okay.
	And I was kind of on board with what they were doing, and then it just turned out to be bull crap.
	Well, it would be, you know what?
	We could use it.
	For more material.
	You know, this will be like World Net Daily's network.
	Or Bex the Blaze.
	Well, that's no good.
	On the other hand, we're still here.
	You're shining light.
	You're guardians of reality.
	That's because we're podcasters.
	We can fly under the radar.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C, where the C stands for Campus Rape Reportage, Dvorak.
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	In the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	And we teased it there.
	In the morning to all of our artists who loyally contribute to the No Agenda Art Generator at noagendaartgenerator.com.
	And we'd like to thank specifically Zed for bringing us the artwork for episode 9 or 3-2.
	That title of the show was roundly debunked.
	And this was a nice piece.
	It was the Niet Agenda piece.
	Yeah, that was sitting there in the...
	In the Evergreens.
	That piece was in the Evergreens.
	And, you know, we've been looking at it on and off.
	It seemed to be a good time to use it.
	Yeah.
	And, of course, we thank Zed and all of the artists who always support us with our work at noagendaartgenerator.com.
	Thank you so much.
	And also in the morning to the War Room.
	I wanted to thank you for being here.
	And let's thank some of our other producers who came in with financial support today.
	Yeah, we have one, two executives, and one, two, the load is balanced, but small.
	But Jacob, or Jacob Tamao, in Chicago, started us off with a $1,000 instant night donation, and we can't find any note from him.
	Yeah, this is upsetting.
	So we will knight him anyway.
	Yes.
	We can rebuke the knight, if he doesn't want it.
	But as just Sir Jacob...
	T-O-M-A-W. We'll do that.
	We'll do that.
	And we'll give him some karma, and hopefully he'll send the notes.
	You've got karma.
	James Varga comes in as the other executive producer at 33333.
	Hi, John and Adam.
	Been listening for an embarrassingly long time without donating.
	Can't take the guilt anymore.
	Tired of being a dick.
	Hoping to balance the scales by contributing my value for value received.
	You will obey Oreos addict and Korean lady nuke.
	You will obey.
	Oreos are just as addictive as cocaine.
	You've got karma.
	Boom shakalaka.
	I forget how funny that line is, that Oreos are as addictive as cocaine.
	Oreos are just as addictive as cocaine.
	You know what's wild about that?
	Sometimes I order stuff on Instacart and we pay someone else's child to come bring you something.
	The groceries, which I like a lot.
	Yeah, and it's not that much more expensive to have someone else do it.
	But the problem is, I'm not very good with ounces and stuff.
	If it's kilograms, it's just not in my cultural upbringing.
	So I say, oh, I want some Oreos.
	I like Oreos.
	I like a kilo of Oreos.
	It doesn't sound like you're buying drugs.
	I got a box of Oreos.
	It must have been like 200 Oreos and they come in what we are now dubbing a sleeve.
	So you get 10 Oreos in a sleeve.
	Now you can't put the Oreos, you know, just close the sleeve up because, you know, the Oreos will go bad.
	So it is now known as I'm doing a sleeve of Oreos.
	And yes, just as addictive as cocaine.
	Okay, onward.
	Sir...
	Sir Repetitious the Stealthy in Greenville, Texas.
	$250.10.
	He'll be an associate executive producer for show 933.
	Howdy, gents.
	Sir Repetitious of Stealthy coming out of the stealth mode to celebrate my 61st birthday with fellow knights, dames, and other assorted troublemakers.
	Attach.
	Find a bag full of 610 quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies.
	ITM. Thank you, Sir Repetitious of Stealthy.
	That's very kind of you.
	Thanks for the bag of coins.
	Yeah.
	Sir Johnny O, who will be our final associate executive producer for show 933-20101.
	I never would have guessed that I would have caused so much upheaval over my name choice.
	I am happy to offer a name change of Sir Johnny O, Knight of Firearms, as this better describes my focus.
	Adam, I don't know what his other name was.
	He wanted to be of the Armament, and of course we have in Austin, Texas, Sir Scott of the Armory.
	And he raised a question with the Peerage Committee.
	I believe you had that committee.
	I do, and I guess Johnny O took it upon himself to just change his name before the Peerage Committee can make a determination, which is fine.
	Mm-hmm.
	Adam, please feel free to forward my contact info I sent to you the other day to Sir Scott.
	I'm sure we have a common interest in both firearms and no agenda.
	Not a bad idea.
	And Sir Scott makes some dynamite.
	If you guys are going to go, where are these guys?
	Where are they?
	Well, Sir Scott is in Austin.
	I don't know where Sir Johnny O is.
	Well, he might be nearby.
	I will come to Austin if you guys are going to go shooting.
	Oh my God.
	Be careful what you say.
	I haven't been there yet, but we have a brand new range, which is really upscale.
	It's supposed to be fantastic.
	I would love to go.
	Yeah.
	And then afterwards, Sir Scott, I'm sure, would treat us to some of his beautiful venison chili, which he goes out, he hunts the deer himself, does everything.
	Sounds good.
	Just some general karma for all the knights.
	And it's an easy flight for me.
	I mean, I can shoot over there.
	Stop threatening.
	And I can also show whoever wants to learn how to cook basmati rice correctly, the Iranian style.
	Yes.
	Anyways, just some general karma for all the knights and dames would be appreciated.
	All right.
	You've got karma.
	I will say we do have one other appearance issue to address since it came up from Sir Gene Navtuliev.
	Yeah.
	He says, hey, did I hear on the last show that Jason Daniels requested Duke of the South?
	If so, too late.
	I had that title for well over a year.
	Please notify and correct cordially, Sir Gene Navtuliev.
	Almost two years, actually.
	Yes.
	So has this been corrected?
	No.
	I have not been able to get a hold of Jason Daniels.
	Jason Daniels Is a kind of a mystery man.
	He is the...
	One of those.
	He's one of those guys who donates a lot.
	And then it came to my attention recently because he has subscriptions.
	He has almost all the subscriptions.
	Oh, interesting.
	And they all came up canceled.
	Oh.
	Because I think he changed his check account or his credit card or something.
	And our income plunged.
	Dropped by half.
	Shit.
	So I sent him a note I never heard back from him.
	This will take longer than normal to resolve, I believe.
	Okay, you don't think he just, like, cancel and went, ah, screw those guys.
	That's what I was wondering.
	Trump lovers.
	The problem with that is the following.
	It's a rigmarole to cancel if you're the sender.
	Yeah, that's true.
	That's true.
	You got to do.
	And these things came in.
	Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
	As though it was done by a machine.
	In other words, they all got canceled like instantly at the same time.
	That doesn't happen.
	There's nothing you can do to make that happen, except change your credit card.
	Or let it expire.
	Whatever reasons they have for...
	But anyway, Jason is one of the...
	He's an under-the-radar Duke type.
	It's possible that he, you know, this happens with our PayPal all the time, where a credit card changes or expires, and then PayPal sends you a note saying, no agenda canceled your subscription.
	It's possible that he got five, no agenda canceled your subscription.
	He went, not screw those guys.
	10, screw those guys.
	Well, he's, no, no, I don't think so, because anyone who's that dedicated to the show at that, these lower levels, and higher levels, he had a $50 a month subscription, generally speaking, knows the ropes.
	Yeah.
	And they had to have heard at least a dozen times about these bogus notes that you get.
	Because we don't cancel anybody.
	No, why would we do that?
	It makes no sense that we would.
	If you were Hillary Clinton, we wouldn't cancel you.
	We'll block your ass on Twitter, but we're not going to cancel your credit card.
	Yes, we will.
	We will block you.
	I'm still trying to unblock the guy bitching at me, because his name he keeps saying.
	I have forwarded his email address and his Twitter address to you so many times.
	Because, of course, he keeps defaulting back to me.
	I've sent John this, he doesn't unblock me.
	His name doesn't exist.
	His Twitter name?
	Yeah.
	Well, he gave me his Twitter handle.
	I forwarded that to you.
	It's not that important right now.
	It's important later.
	No, Twitter's not important anyway.
	But anyway, these are our four people that we want to thank profusely for helping us out on the show 933.
	Thank you so much.
	These are obviously real credits since you can use them.
	On the holiday.
	On the holiday.
	American holiday.
	And we could be out buying mattresses, but no.
	No.
	It's actually a holiday in England, too, that today is reflective of.
	Is it a religious holiday in England?
	I don't know, but I was watching the BBC and they were talking about some holiday today.
	I don't know why.
	Oh, is it Red Nose Day, maybe?
	I don't think so.
	I think we have Red Nose Day coming up.
	Yeah, they're trying to introduce Red Nose Day here.
	They've been doing that for two years now.
	Well, anyway, I want to thank our executive producers, our instant night, and obviously associate executive producers.
	It's very much appreciated.
	We'll be thanking the rest of the people who supported us for this holiday show coming up later on the program.
	Another show is coming up on Thursday.
	We do need you to support us.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. And you're out.
	You've got a cookout.
	You're hanging out with family.
	Try propagating the formula just a little bit.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Yo, yo.
	So I definitely want to mention something about the Evergreen College fracas.
	Yes, I have a clip from that.
	The students have taken over the campus, a bunch of douchebags, and just total douchebag kids.
	I mean, it's unbelievable.
	You can play your clips, but I just want to play the one, I think, symbolic clip, very short clip, which I think is pretty much summarized.
	This is the professor who's Jewish, and I believe there's some anti-Semite undertones of this protest.
	But this professor refused to leave the campus when all whites were supposed to leave the campus.
	Now, I have a question about this.
	Is this a new thing?
	No, they've been doing this for a while, but they changed some of the basic rules.
	Well, stop.
	Why do all whites have to leave the campus?
	Because they're just meant to minimize their white privilege.
	I don't know.
	But how long has this been going on?
	Well, he says in this clip, the professor says it's been going on before he got there.
	Damn.
	He refused to take part this year because the way it was presented, this changed.
	And he figured it was very racist.
	Do you think?
	Yeah.
	And so he refused to go, and now the students want him fired.
	Oh, jeez.
	Okay, wait a second.
	First of all, Day of Absence has been here longer than I have.
	I have never protested it until the idea...
	Until...
	No.
	No.
	First of all, I didn't...
	Would you like to hear the answer or not?
	No!
	No, of course not, racists!
	Yeah, I caught it.
	I just thought it was the best.
	I could have closed it down to, would you like to hear the answer or not?
	No!
	And they all yelled no.
	Apparently, there was another meeting of the two parties at the school.
	So I have a bit of the professor, Brett Weinstein.
	Weinstein, Weinstein.
	He might have been on Tucker.
	Well, what happened is that 50 or so students decided to disrupt the class that I was holding that morning and demand my resignation.
	Because you wouldn't leave campus because you're white?
	Well, they imagine that I am a racist and that I am teaching racism in the classroom and that has caused them to imagine that I have no right to speak, that I am harming students by the very act of teaching them.
	The campus police apparently showed up outside of the classroom.
	The protesters then blocked their entrance.
	I did not call the police.
	Someone else called the police.
	And they were concerned for my safety.
	But when they tried to come into the building to make sure that I was okay, the protesters blocked them.
	And because the issue of policing is so sensitive at the moment, the police had to run around and find another entrance to the building.
	Can you just imagine the Keystone cops?
	Oh, boys, we can't go in here.
	Come on.
	To get inside and check with me.
	At the point they did that, the protesters moved on and corralled the president of the college at his office.
	They extracted some demands from him.
	Among the demands was that there would be a meeting.
	Well, actually, demands is perhaps the wrong word.
	A concession.
	That there would be a meeting at 4 o'clock in a large room on top of our library building.
	So that meeting took place at the end of the day, and believe it or not, it was far crazier than the video that you just showed.
	The core demand is that all people of your skin color leave the campus.
	Your president is a guy called George Bridges?
	Where was he?
	Why is he allowing a mob?
	The way Tucker said that leads me to believe the president is black.
	No.
	No?
	No, he's a bald white guy.
	Interesting.
	One of these, you know, these toadies.
	It was just, he always said, is Bridges?
	You know, like Todd Bridges, which reminds me of, you know, the heroin actor.
	All people of your skin color leave the campus.
	Your president is a guy called George Bridges?
	Where was he?
	Why is he allowing a mob to threaten one of his professors?
	Well, I must say, I have some concern that the story is so strange that it's not even going to make sense to an audience that isn't local to the campus.
	Dr.
	Bridges is allowing this mob to effectively control the campus, and they have been in control since 9.30 on Tuesday morning.
	At this moment, I believe Dr.
	Bridges is answering A set of demands put forward by the protesters, and they have said that if he does not accept their demands, that there will be violence.
	I do not know what his response to those demands is going to be, but I know that that's taking place at this hour.
	He has also told the police to stand down.
	Stand down.
	The campus police have a sense of what it is that needs to happen in a circumstance like this.
	They have been hobbled by the fact that they answer to the college administration and, in fact, for several days have been barricaded in the campus police station.
	The cops are barricaded in their own police station.
	Aggressive person.
	And I must say, I'm...
	There you go.
	I'm troubled by what this implies about the current state of the left.
	Yeah.
	That's pretty outrageous.
	Damn.
	Well, one of the students, Buzzkill Jr.
	and his wife are both Evergreen alumni.
	Ah, how do they feel about this?
	Well, they're upset about it, and so is one of their friends, David Duncan, who is a No Agenda listener, apparently, since he's never donated.
	Well, he's soon to be an ex-friend of theirs, then.
	No, no.
	No?
	Okay.
	No, everybody likes it.
	I mean...
	JC likes...
	I mean, everybody likes the show.
	They just don't like the politics of the show.
	Because we're critical of Hillary.
	Anyway, he sent me a note saying that if you...
	And I can send you the link to this and you can put it in the show notes.
	It's a handy online form.
	He says it's the easiest thing to do.
	He says not to do all this hand-wringing, but to complain to the state legislature if you live in Washington State.
	And I'll...
	Post that.
	Maybe tweet it.
	But if anyone just wants to write it in, it's just app.leg.wa.gov district finder, and then you can find your district and complain, I guess.
	But complain what?
	What do they want?
	Well, I mean, you've got to get rid of this guy running this school.
	I just don't understand, in general, this also, I believe, happened at Harvard.
	How can you just say, this is for blacks only?
	Or no whites is even worse.
	Yeah.
	It's very interesting because this hit me last night as I was thinking, I don't know why it came up, but before I was divorced, I was in circles here.
	Remember the guy, the drug guy, as in not dealing drugs, but he made orphan drugs, and he said, I would never have a Republican at my house for dinner.
	Yes.
	That guy?
	That guy.
	And it dawned on me that they always have these two friends.
	Well, I haven't seen them in years, but they had these two friends, Paul and Natalie.
	And they were always at every single party.
	These are huge Democrats, Paul and Natalie.
	Everyone, everyone's Democrat.
	Of course, I'm just no agenda.
	I'm not left or right.
	It doesn't matter.
	Yeah, you're independent.
	But you talk to them.
	They live in a little small apartment, way out of town.
	They have nondescript kind of jobs, librarian, lab something or other.
	But they were both, I think, Pakistani or Indian.
	And it hit me last night.
	They were the only brown faces I ever saw, and they were always there.
	And that is the inherent racism of people like this.
	I'm not going to say all Democrats or all lefties, but I know exactly what these people are thinking.
	Oh yeah, we don't have any white people.
	And so they were their favorite black, quote-unquote, dark colored people.
	Yeah, complete tokens.
	And just for some reason last night, it all came together in my head hearing about this stuff.
	I'm like, man, there's a bunch of racist crap going on, and it's really from the people pointing the finger.
	Yeah.
	And this stuff at schools, I just don't understand.
	How can you condone that?
	How can you say, oh, that's okay.
	Sure.
	No problem.
	Well, I think, personally, I think you should have called in the state police, rounded up all the kids and expelled them.
	Yeah, the guardia severe.
	It's not that hard to do.
	And especially the kids who were just cussing out the school president and threatening the professor and In his face.
	Actual threatening.
	Yeah, well, one of the things they pointed out in the big meeting was There's like all the students who are there.
	They say, we're so dangerous and we're threatening this guy.
	Why is he here?
	Why isn't he awesome?
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, that's the logic.
	I got it.
	Yeah, there's your logic.
	And so they had, and it's a lot of angry blacks that are involved.
	They got all the white girls all worked up.
	And there's a lot of anti-male, anti-white rhetoric.
	And the one guy who seems to have a bigger voice than he should is an extremely gay person.
	Black guy who has pink ribbons in his ears.
	You got a clip?
	I'll get a clip of this guy because he goes on and on and he's wearing this tight shorts.
	Really tight shorts and he's got this pink ribbon and he flips and he's a show-off guy.
	He's like what we used to call a flamer.
	And he's yelling and screaming about one thing or another, and he's in a lot of the clips that you'll see on YouTube.
	Oh, I'll go looking for those.
	It's very funny to watch this guy because he's kind of humorous, but it's really a bunch of screwballs that need to be rounded up and expelled.
	Yeah.
	They're not accomplishing anything with what they're up to.
	Now, this stems from apparently some...
	Guidelines or something that were put out about how to hire the next number of professors.
	Oh yeah.
	And it wasn't, they weren't giving enough room, there was not enough room for bringing in a whole bunch of people of color, professors.
	And this is what really triggered the whole thing.
	I got it.
	Well, I'm so sorry about that.
	Sorry everyone has to go through that.
	Well, I don't have to go through it.
	I'm not even near that place.
	I'm not speaking to you.
	I'm sorry, everybody.
	Yeah, well, I find it to be distressing.
	It's extremely distressing.
	What the hell is going on?
	Yeah.
	It's a really nice, very...
	The irony of this, of course, is this is one of the most liberal, liberal arts schools in the country.
	There is no grades.
	No grades?
	You just passed?
	No grades.
	And not only that, but after you get your degree, you can pretty much say you got your degree in anything you want.
	And it will be verified by the school.
	The school backs it up and they're fully accredited.
	It's one of the first and one of the earliest experimental schools.
	Santa Cruz, UC Santa Cruz used to be one of them, but they couldn't hang on there.
	So this is a bunch of...
	Evergreen is...
	Geez, I'm sorry.
	Go ahead.
	It's the last of these very experimental schools that were developed in the 30s and 40s and 50s.
	And it's the last holdout of the old system of no grades and you don't even have to show up if you don't want to as long as you're in.
	It's like Montessori?
	No, it's not like Montessori.
	It's different.
	It's...
	You know, this David Duncan and my son had written a thesis on this whole movement, which they wanted to turn into a book.
	But the two of them dropped the ball.
	Ah, I wonder where that comes from.
	It didn't come from me.
	No.
	Okay.
	Um...
	Well, I think this is an opportune moment for you to segue into the appropriately teased package and segment you have been preparing for us.
	Yes, we have a segment on campus rape written by a guy who wrote a book.
	Which I mentioned in the last show.
	I had to find my notes to find the guy's name and anything.
	But we'll get to it.
	I'll look it up while we're doing this.
	But the campus rape story began with a teaser that we ran about how this guy was railroaded by a gender studies professor at Occidental.
	And this...
	The guy doing the thesis says that the gender studies mostly women professors that are behind a lot of this where apparently everybody's being raped constantly in the schools.
	And we'll get to what's called the one in five myth, which is that one in five women on the college campus has been sexually assaulted, which this guy proves to be bullcrap.
	But let's go to part two of that tease that we played on the last show.
	This camp is rape.
	Teaser two, Duke.
	Which, of course, did not make the accused male a criminal.
	His drunkenness was deemed irrelevant.
	He tried to transfer to another school after being expelled, but his acceptance was rescinded because of Occidental's decision.
	He's now suing Occidental, and I hope he'll win.
	Now imagine yourself at Duke University, home of the infamous Duke Lacrosse rape fraud of 2006, which was mentioned, in which the university's president, the administration, much of the faculty, and the media formed themselves into a guilt-presuming rush-to-judgment mob, bent on ruining the lives of three innocent young lacrosse players who were falsely accused of a brutal gang rape that later was proved to be a total invention.
	Eleven years later, the fates of any accused Duke students are in the hands of people such as Sheila Broderick, Duke's, quote, gender violence intervention services coordinator, end quote.
	Ms.
	Broderick has asserted that if campus disciplinary panels, and I'm quoting again, say he's not responsible, you and I know that he's responsible.
	And that's, at the end of the day, all that really matters." In other words, according to this powerful Duke official, all males accused by females are guilty, no matter what the evidence.
	The University of Wyoming has an interesting official definition of sexual assault in its disciplinary code.
	Quote, anything less than voluntary, sober, enthusiastic, verbal, non-coerced, continual, active, and honest consent.
	Is sexual assault.
	Oh, man.
	By that standard, having sex even after clear ascent that is less than enthusiastic or nonverbal or not quite continual or apparently enthusiastic but later said to be insincere is by definition sexual assault.
	Boom shakalaka.
	Yeah, this guy is Stuart Taylor and the book is The Campus Rape Frenzy.
	An attack on due process at America's universities.
	Was this on C-SPAN? Yeah.
	That makes sense.
	Where else am I going to get this?
	So one of the things that was brought up...
	Let me get this straight.
	So if I underperform and it's not all that great, if it's not great, it's rape?
	Yeah.
	If it's not great, it's rape.
	Damn.
	Yeah, it's not great.
	Okay.
	Let's go to...
	Let's go to the 1 to 5 myth.
	This is what you want, is campus rape 1 to 5 myth 1.
	Now, this isn't to deny, I should add, that rape is a serious problem on campus.
	There are real rapes.
	There are lots of them.
	There are way too many of them.
	But the scare that we're seeing is way out of proportion to that problem, and the remedies are not going to solve that problem.
	The resulting system of oppression rests on a foundation of statistical myths, lies, to put it more directly, about the incidence of rape on campuses and the claim that nearly all accused males are guilty.
	Most widely repeated, you've probably heard this, is the statistical myth that one in five college women is sexually assaulted while there.
	That's a staggering number, outrageously and irresponsibly trumpeted by former President Obama, Vice President Biden, and many others.
	In fact, the best available crime statistics compiled by the Federal Bureau of Justice Statistics indicate that about one in a hundred college women is raped, and another one or two in a hundred is subjected to a lesser sexual assault while there.
	Way too many.
	It's a serious problem, but a tenth the scope of the problem that the media are trumpeting.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah, now he goes on with part two.
	We don't need to comment too much.
	The media, he mentions, is trumpeting, and they do.
	If that number were true, if one in five were true, it would make college campuses the most dangerous places for women in the country, more dangerous than, say, Detroit or the other cities that rank highest in the crime scales.
	Even about as dangerous as combat zones like Eastern Germany after World War II when the Russians came through, where rape was used as a weapon of war.
	In short, the one in five number is absurd.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	It's not only absurd, but this kind of leads to this little kicker, which I needed to get.
	I didn't have it on the last list, which is, listen to this campus rape studies and surveys.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	Yeah, you got it.
	This myth proceeds from highly misleading, indeed fraudulent, surveys by prestigious establishment institutions, such as the Association of American Universities.
	It's a long story why they want to exaggerate this, but they do.
	Survey in 2015, and a Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation survey in 2015.
	These surveys studiously avoid asking students whether they have been raped or sexually assaulted.
	Why don't they ask?
	Because they know the vast majority would say no, and that's not the answer they want.
	So they ask questions such as, have you ever had sex when you were drunk?
	And if the answer is yes, they check it off as a rape.
	Or have you ever been subjected to unwanted forced kissing?
	Every yes is checked off as a sexual assault.
	Yeah, hold on.
	I think that's correct.
	If you didn't want to be kissed and someone's forcing themselves on you, that's sexual assault.
	Yeah, I don't think so.
	Oh, I do.
	Okay, well good.
	Somebody comes up and they give you that old kiss on the cheek, that's sexual assault too?
	Where somebody gives you a hug?
	No.
	And you don't like to hug people?
	That's a sexual assault?
	That's the way these surveys go.
	I didn't say that.
	No, I know, but what you're doing is you're already kind of giving in to the nonsense.
	I'm not giving in.
	I'm just stating an opinion.
	I'm not giving in to anything.
	I know, but I'm saying you are part of the problem.
	Oh, bullshit.
	You know, Rolling Stone is the one that made this a problem.
	They're the ones that came out with that complete bullcrap story, blew up in their face.
	No, he discusses that.
	Yeah, they get a pass, as far as I'm concerned.
	I'm just saying.
	They got a pass, is what you're saying.
	Yeah, they got a pass.
	You're not saying, as far as I'm concerned, they get a pass.
	Okay, and fuck me.
	Let's go.
	More next.
	Campus rape and free speech.
	This one you'll like.
	I'm sure.
	Given the procedural rules that I'm about to discuss, your college education is doomed if you find yourself facing an accusation, really of any kind.
	One more example, this one involving the Obama Education Department's redefinition of what was once free speech as sexual harassment.
	These fields seem like two fields, the free speech problem and the due process problem, but they tie together tightly.
	It's a very, you know, sexual harassment by free speech is a very frequent accusation in higher education today.
	In what the Obama administration hailed as a, quote, blueprint for colleges and universities throughout the country, end quote, it got the University of Montana, it sort of flailed them, to pledge to investigate as sexual harassment any speech of a sexual nature that any other student claims was unwelcome.
	Now, speech of a sexual nature, according to the government, covers everything from talk in the realm of sexual intimacy or anything at all about the nature of women and men, even if it has nothing to do with sexual intimacy.
	For example, an assertion that women as well as men often tell lies is speech, quote, of a sexual nature, end quote, to these campus and government bureaucrats.
	Under the Obama blueprint, such an unwelcome statement would be sexual harassment even if, quote, an objectively reasonable person of the same gender in the same situation would not find it offensive.
	Sorry if I seem to quote too much, but sometimes when you see the spin they're putting on ordinary English usage, a quote seems mandatory.
	A word about what it does to an innocent young man to be smeared, railroaded, and expelled from a college as a rapist, or even just for things he's accused of saying.
	I've interviewed a few such young men and a lot of their parents about the horrors.
	Not only are they expelled, they cannot get admitted to another college they would want to go to.
	Their job prospects are under a cloud.
	Their reputations are in ruins at their colleges and often beyond.
	In some cases, their lives have been ruined.
	Yeah.
	I didn't realize that they were calling it that the Obama administration wrote up something called the blueprint.
	That's very, very nefarious.
	Right.
	Especially if you can say, well, you know, women are a joke about women driving.
	We talked about this a long time ago and throughout the history of the show when I ran my public company.
	There were people downstairs waiting for women to leave the building, and they would say, hey, did anyone say you look nice today, your hair's pretty, or you like your outfit?
	Which, by the way, is something Adam does.
	A lot.
	A lot.
	And which I refuse to stop, because I believe in complimenting people of both sexes.
	But, you know, we would get lawsuits exactly for the amount that our, you know, officers and directors insurance, D&O insurance was set for.
	Sure.
	And this was just for talking, for just saying stuff.
	It's all sexual harassment.
	It's very bad.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's not getting any better.
	Let's go with campus rape, current conditions summary.
	This will be a good overview.
	Yeah.
	Accused students get no right to an impartial decision maker but rather face extremely biased campus sex bureaucrats who need to appease the federal bureaucrats to keep their jobs.
	It's like having a criminal jury of all extreme anti-male ideologues masquerading as opponents of sex discrimination and facing some penalty if they fail to convict.
	The so-called training of these bureaucrats and other decision-makers often includes instructions that say or imply that almost all accused males are guilty, along the lines of Sheila Broderick at Duke.
	A single-sex bureaucrat often acts as investigator, prosecutor, judge, and jury.
	In many cases, colleges dispensing with hearings altogether.
	Almost all accused students have no right to be represented by a lawyer in campus proceedings.
	They are often not allowed to see or hear the specific allegations.
	They often have no right to see any of the evidence, including evidence of innocence.
	Kafka would be familiar with this system.
	There's no ability to compel witnesses or to use scientific evidence.
	Accused students are judged under special, extremely broad redefinitions of rape, sexual assault, and consent.
	All this reinforces a campus climate of presuming the guilt of all accused males.
	That climate is created by university bureaucrats and leaders, by many professors, especially of gender studies, by student activists and many other student governments and newspapers these days, by the national and local news media, and even by some state governments.
	as well as by the federal government under Obama.
	Now, when your son hears this kind of stuff, and I know it comes up at the dinner table, if it hasn't, it will.
	How does he feel as a straight, white, young male in this America?
	J.C., Buzzkill Jr.?
	Yeah.
	He got married as fast as he could.
	I didn't say he was gay or a single.
	No, he got married.
	I didn't say he was gay.
	I said he got married.
	What does it have to do with anything?
	That's what you do.
	That's how you get out of this structure.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	So when you get married, then it stops?
	Well, I mean, once you're married, I think your partnership will prevent you from getting involved in this sort of thing.
	You're under watch.
	You've been captured.
	There's a woman looking over you.
	Well, something like that, maybe.
	All I know is that there's nothing that he's dealt with.
	This is distressing.
	It's very distressing.
	I like it, yeah.
	We'll do the campus rape rate notation.
	Right now?
	Yes.
	The unimaginably false myth is that college campuses are the most dangerous places in the country for young women.
	Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, for one, has stated that.
	In fact, young women on campuses are safer from sexual violence than young women, typically less prosperous young women, living elsewhere, according to the same Bureau of Justice Statistics.
	Although you would have trouble finding any acknowledgement of this in the news media.
	Still another falsehood, stated by Hillary Clinton and by Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, among many others, is that the campus rape problem is a spreading epidemic.
	Epidemics suggest growing, right?
	More and more of this.
	The Bureau of Justice statistics found that from 1997 to 2013, the whole period before and just after this Obama initiative, the campus rape rate plunged by more than half.
	Yeah, well, we don't care about the facts.
	No, why would we do that?
	That's ridiculous.
	So we might as well wrap it with the campus rape end story.
	One more real case.
	Amherst expelled a male student, I'll call him Joe, based on a claim by a female student, I'll call her Anna, in October 2013 that he had forced her to perform oral sex more than 20 months before.
	The reality was that she had assaulted him, or at least seduced him, by performing oral sex when he was blackout drunk in her room.
	This was on dispute.
	We're going to leave this forum with the Republican National Lawyers Association to take you live now to the U.S. Even too much for C-SPAN, huh?
	And you know, they cut to the Senate, and the Senate has a guy go up and says, the Senate is just jerned, and he slams down the hammer, and they never go back to this.
	Oh, man, that's beautiful.
	I'm going to give you a clip of the day for that series.
	That was good.
	Very much liked how you ended that.
	That was good.
	Well done, sir.
	Well done.
	I think that people out there who have a male child going to school should be well aware of the situation and consider, even if you see anybody in any circle, by the way, anyone that wants to drink of alcohol is a rape, which you've got to always remember that.
	And you've got to consider...
	Designing some sort of contract, so if you ever date anybody, they have to sign this contract.
	Yeah.
	Which would have all kinds of...
	Can't you just do like they do with...
	Non-disclosure would be good, too.
	You could just have a form on your phone.
	You don't even have to make your signature, just press your fingerprint on it.
	A quickie.
	You know, it's like, hey, this is a new gadget.
	A little amulet that you wear around your neck.
	And you say, hey, you want to blow me?
	Here, just touch your finger.
	A little fingerprint here.
	And then you consent.
	And we're all good.
	But you don't have to consent.
	You have to consent enthusiastically.
	Press it hard.
	Press it hard.
	Really press your finger down.
	My goodness.
	It's pathetic.
	No.
	Yeah.
	And this is all part of what's going on.
	That evergreen situation is all part of this.
	You're absolutely right.
	And it's distressing and disturbing.
	And it has to get a lot worse before it gets better, in my opinion.
	Well, yeah.
	I mean, I think, you know, the Rolling Stones thing where that woman journalist was taking in hook, line, and sinker, and it saw the light of day because people could debunk it.
	Most of the stuff that he's talking about here, which is, well, it's in his book, has never been covered by the media.
	The media's all in on the idea that one in five women at a college campus is being assaulted.
	Science!
	It's fact.
	Yeah, I didn't clip it.
	I almost clipped it.
	In fact, I think I clipped it and then threw it out a couple weeks ago.
	Jan Wenner was on, I think, CBS Morning Show.
	And they said, well, it was really unfortunate, wasn't it?
	Well, yeah, you got duped.
	And it just kind of glossed over it.
	Sure.
	And it was like, oh, yeah, it was very sad that it happened.
	And for him, he's not talking about the kid.
	He's talking about the magazine, their journalistic integrity.
	It's really unbelievable.
	And we need a little entremont to clean the palate.
	Magic.
	Yes, ladies and gentlemen.
	Just gonna wet your palate a little.
	Change it.
	tonight.
	Sing it, baby!
	I had no idea we missed so much fantastic material from Maxine Waters.
	And I'm going to bring in classic clips.
	Classic Maxine from time to time.
	Because she's just that good.
	She's just that good.
	This is classic Maxine Waters from 2008.
	This is when the...
	Who was it?
	Was it Bernanke?
	No.
	Who was before Bernanke?
	Right, that guy.
	The guy married to Andrea Mitchell.
	Yeah, well, no.
	The 2008 crisis and the Fed and the Secretary.
	That was the guy before Bernanke, the guy that was married to Andrea Mitchell.
	Greenspan.
	Went to Congress and said, look, here's the number.
	A trillion of $800 billion.
	You've got to pass this.
	And then we had Obamacare.
	Look, look, we've got to pass this.
	And we know that no one read any of this stuff, any of it.
	One of the bills, Nancy Pelosi comes on and says we have to pass it so we can read it.
	Yes, correct.
	And here is classic Maxine, who takes it just a step further.
	I'm sad we missed it.
	Congresswoman, I had people mention this to me yesterday.
	When is it that lawmakers are going to start reading the legislation that they actually passed?
	I mean, this was a problem before even the Iraq War, that people didn't read the national intelligence estimate.
	And then you have a stimulus package, over $800 billion, and you've got members of Congress voting on it, and they haven't?
	When is that going to end?
	Well, the fact of the matter is you don't read everything.
	I don't read everything.
	What we do is we read what we consider the most important aspects of the bill.
	How much money is being spent in this bill?
	Who's going to benefit from the money that's spent in this bill?
	Our staffs break it up into different parts.
	They read it.
	They feed information to us.
	There are millions of pages of information that go through this Congress, and nobody really reads it all.
	Just as you don't read every fine line in every newspaper every day.
	You read what you think is most important for you to do your job.
	That's the way the world works.
	I must say, though, my mom and dad have always told me, anytime you have to sign a mortgage or anything like that, you better read every fine print of it.
	And boy, I hate that advice sometimes because it takes me forever, but I try and do it because it involves money.
	Of course, that's exactly what you said.
	You tried to do it.
	Well, we're telling people who signed all these subprime mortgages out there and all these phony mortgages that they should have read the fine print, and now we say it's okay because Congress doesn't read the fine print either on these big bills?
	What kind of example is that?
	I wish all All of America read all of the documents that's put before them.
	I wish more people reading mortgages understood everything that was in the mortgage.
	I wish that I read every piece of everything, all of the print that's put before me.
	And like you say, you tried to do it.
	We tried to do it.
	And we do the best job that we can, just as you do the best job that you can.
	My millennials, stay woke!
	Yeah, everyone tries to read.
	Yeah, you do it.
	It's like you try to read.
	I don't know, Maxine.
	I read everything.
	I know.
	I'm not as busy as you are fielding calls from donors.
	Because that's what they do.
	Well, that's what you have to do.
	You can't stay in office.
	That's what they do.
	I just love me some classic Maxine.
	Yeah.
	We can do a whole show about her.
	Oodles and oodles of fun.
	A terrible laptop.
	By the way, one of the guys at this Evergreen thing, I just thought about this because she's a millennial goddess.
	Yeah.
	He went on about how there's going to be some money to hiring a new professor, and he says, you should let us spend that money.
	And he went on and on about, you should give us the money, because we know we can run the school better than you can.
	That makes nothing but sense.
	And all I was thinking was the noodle boy.
	Yeah.
	It's not fair, man.
	We should be able to run it with them.
	We're paying.
	We're in charge.
	We're in charge.
	I'd pull my kid out of there so fast.
	Like, yeah, you're not going to that school.
	In fact, here.
	Grab a microphone.
	You're a podcaster.
	Yeah!
	It's back!
	The Terror Laptop of Doom, everybody.
	So happy it's back.
	And finally, we have some answers about the so-called airport ban.
	That I've been waiting to hear if it is just on foreign airlines or what the deal is finally, which of course would make sense.
	We've had 10 airports where laptops are not allowed in the cabin.
	They're collected only on foreign carriers, not U.S. carriers.
	So I'm kind of expecting this to be an airline thing only, but it got a hell of a lot better.
	Very disappointing.
	Very disappointing to me from this administration, but I don't think either of us really like that.
	Department of Homeland Security, Kelly, very much.
	And he's turning out to be a right old douchebag.
	He had two clips here.
	The first one, I think this was a testimony in the House.
	Let's talk about the laptop ban.
	Do you think it should extend beyond the 10 airports that it already is in?
	What I have learned in the last 120 days that I was not nearly as aware about prior to that in the military is this relentless attempt on the part of terrorists to blow up airplanes and fight.
	Ideally big airplanes, a lot of people.
	Ideally a U.S. carrier.
	This is completely the opposite of everything we've heard so far.
	Completely the opposite.
	They're going for small lone wolves.
	They just want to, you know, pop off, drive down a street, kill some people.
	They're not going for the big targets.
	Yeah, steal a car.
	Yeah, I mean, this is the opposite of what we've been hearing.
	Okay.
	A U.S. carrier, ideally on the way...
	Well, it's not the opposite, actually, but...
	In size it is.
	To the United States.
	We are watching, can't get into it in this group, in this hearing room, but we are watching a number of very, very sophisticated advanced threats right now.
	I obviously wouldn't, and it was my decision to make, I obviously wouldn't have put 10 airports on the list in March.
	As we look at the threat and how it's morphed, we are looking at perhaps other ways Yes.
	Yes.
	So it's possible that it would expand.
	Okay, so now he's got my interest.
	I'm like, well, why would you expand?
	Is it just airports?
	And then, of course, we find out it's just the same old bullcrap game.
	Pick up on aviation because you're in the process of making some big decisions on aviation, and I want to do a lightning round.
	Quick questions, quick answers.
	Are you going to ban laptops from the cabin on all international flights, both into and out of the U.S.? I might.
	That's a quick answer.
	Yeah, well, expand a little bit.
	Well, there's a real threat.
	There's numerous threats against aviation.
	That's really the thing that they're obsessed with, the terrorists, the idea of knocking down an airplane in flight, particularly if it's a U.S. carrier, particularly if it's full of the U.S. folks, of people.
	I like that.
	He went from folks to people.
	I don't know why, but I liked it.
	He corrected himself.
	Our people are not dumb.
	Folks are dumb.
	Our people.
	U.S. carrier particularly is full of the U.S. folks, people.
	It's real.
	You know that I implemented, I think on the 21st of March, a restriction on large electronic devices in the cabins from 10 points of origin.
	But now let's talk, as you say, about all international fights, both into and out of the U.S.
	Well, you say you might.
	When are you going to make that decision and what's going to determine it?
	We're still following the intelligence rules.
	The very, very good news is again that we are working incredibly close with friends and partners around the world.
	We are going to, and in the process, Of defining this, but we're going to raise the bar for, generally speaking, aviation security much higher than it is now.
	And there's new technologies down the road, not too far down the road, that we'll rely on.
	But it is a real, sophisticated threat, and I'll reserve that decision.
	Yeah.
	This is about new gear, everybody.
	New gear coming.
	Bloomberg reports at least four of the largest companies making screening devices say that they are developing scanners so much better at detecting explosives than existing x-ray machines that passengers could leave laptops, other electronics, and even liquids in their bags.
	Joseph Parisi, Chief Executive Officer of Integrated Defense and Security Solutions, Inc.
	says, It's a no-brainer!
	We've developed one of the new scanning machines.
	It's past initial U.S. government testing.
	It's not if, it's when it's going to happen.
	Woo-hoo, bitches!
	Money!
	There's a lot of money involved here.
	As I'm watching this unfold, it's almost as if As a sales marketing event, they announced when ISIS took over the Mosul airport, which we reported on about three weeks ago.
	When they took over that airport, they had all the gear there.
	By the way, I think in a lot of situations you can find ways to get a hold of this gear if you want to buy it.
	But okay, they stole all this gear and then they could practice their new laptop bomb.
	Yes, make sure.
	Which we've never seen any evidence exist.
	It's called backtesting, John.
	Backtesting.
	And how do you even...
	Today, especially the modern laptop that has no room for even more electronics...
	You're slipping a bomb into the thing, and so the laptop still works.
	Remember when they used to go to the airport, you had to boot your machine?
	Oh my god, do I remember?
	And if your battery was empty, you'd be like fumbling, getting all sweaty, and like, well, it's not turning on, just stepping back slowly.
	Hold on, hold on, let me plug it in.
	Don't plug it in!
	And so they had that moment, which they stopped doing because it was ludicrous.
	And now they've gotten to this new mode where some new fancies bomb more explosive than C5, I guess.
	I don't know how they did that, but I guess they did.
	And this is just nonsense.
	And it is just a money play.
	The other machines have been sitting there.
	They've been working.
	But no, now we gotta do something new.
	I don't know why.
	And those machines cost a fortune.
	Every airport's gonna have to have a bunch of them.
	How many lanes you got?
	You got 10 lanes.
	You got by 10 machines.
	It's an interesting company, this...
	What is their name here?
	International Defense and Security Solutions, Inc., They seem to primarily make infrared stuff.
	They've got high repetition rate, long range, LRF, target finders, target precision, target acquisition, range checker.
	They don't mention anything about their screening products, but they're ready to go.
	Well, maybe they bought some other company.
	I mean, these companies do consolidate.
	That's possible.
	I mean, whoever made the puffer, if you remember that device.
	Yeah, that was great.
	The puffer.
	The puffer.
	The puffers.
	All the puffers were taken out of service and they were in a warehouse someplace because they didn't work.
	Yeah.
	Or they got too many false positives.
	I don't know what the deal was.
	I always thought it was a funny idea.
	And they puffed to see if they could get some.
	You go into this closed tube and it would...
	Puff air all over you.
	Puff, puff, puff, puff.
	And you feel it blowing all over.
	It's kind of funny.
	And then it would suck the air out of the chamber, assuming that if you had any ammonium nitrate on you, just as residual material, it would get caught.
	It would catch it, and you could be pulled aside to see if you were carrying a bomb.
	Yeah, that failed miserably.
	Yeah, it did fail miserably.
	It was kind of fun.
	I always thought that was a funny device.
	Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff.
	Meanwhile, really disappointing coverage on a huge event.
	And where is the tech horny?
	Well, we know.
	Where is any tech press on this?
	British Airways has resumed flights from London's Heathrow and Gatwick airports after a major IT system failure grounded planes, although further delays and cancellations are to be expected.
	The airline warned passengers to check the status of their flights before travelling and pledged to rebook or refund customers affected by the IT outage.
	All BA flights out of the major UK air hubs were cancelled on Saturday, causing chaos for passengers who were left stranded at the beginning of the bank holiday weekend.
	The company's check-in and operational systems were affected by the worldwide computer system crash.
	BA blamed the outage on a power supply issue, citing no evidence of a cyber attack.
	Yeah, this is a catastrophic meltdown.
	The labor union leaders came out immediately and said, well, it's because you're outsourcing everything to India.
	But the only piece of news I could get about the cause of this is power supply.
	That's what they're saying.
	The power supply went down.
	Okay.
	Now, let me just tell you a little bit about British Air.
	I happen to know some of this because my main competitor back in the 90s, Agency.com, They had the British Air, the BA account.
	I was always very jealous of that because it was a beautiful account and the British Air was very forward-looking in what they wanted to do online.
	And they're very big on IT and technology and they changed their data center infrastructure management, known as DCIM, to a company called Raritan a couple years ago.
	And these guys, they got huge, and we're talking huge infrastructure.
	Six data centers.
	This is not just like some power supply.
	And in fact, this DC Track, as it's called from Raritan, boasts in their own press release about this integration the following.
	British Airways is now using DC Track across its data center infrastructure to manage server, power, and network connectivity.
	Any planned changes are first put into DCTrack, instantly identifying which racks have cooling, power, space capacity using its extensive library and interactive floor plan.
	All approved moves and changes are made using the work order system within DCTrack to ensure physical assets are connected to the right rack.
	This is supposed to never happen with this fabulous product.
	I'm sure we have some dudes named Ben and Dudette's named Bernadette who may just have some insight into the DC track data center infrastructure management system and solution.
	You know, this is one of the interesting things going on.
	It's been going on for probably over a decade or longer.
	Which is, you have a situation like this where the airline system goes down, and there's not a reporter in the world that can actually explain it to anybody.
	They never do.
	They never even try.
	They don't even go as deep as you just did.
	It's just like, oh, they said it was a power...
	It's a glitch.
	The glitch problem, the glitch explanation suffices.
	And it's really kind of pathetic.
	Kind of?
	This is the real...
	The real story is what...
	Who screwed this up?
	Yeah, what happened?
	That's the real story.
	Where's the reporters looking for a good scoop?
	They can't even get anywhere.
	I went to Recode.
	I went to Walt Mossberg.
	I looked at the Twit Network.
	This Week in Enterprise.
	None of it.
	Nowhere.
	Nothing.
	Nothing.
	I'm genuinely interested in what happened.
	This is huge.
	The follow-on of the domino effect of this happening is severe.
	And this is the wrong time for it.
	It's a very bad time for this to happen.
	No kidding.
	So I'm disappointed, and if anyone has any info on the DC track...
	Yeah, we'll report it if we get anybody to help us.
	Meanwhile, I was going to say just one little funny bit.
	There was a Thompson Air, which I think is a holiday charter outfit, and they had to have everyone deplane, get off, we can't fly, and this could have been you.
	Because someone had a hotspot on board that had his SSID name, Jihadi.
	Oh, everyone off the plane!
	That's like the guy that floats around.
	I've seen him a couple of times.
	The FBI surveillance van.
	Oh yeah, I've seen that here too.
	Yeah, that's a very funny one.
	A lot of people do that.
	I use Klingon Empire.
	When I was in New York, someone had Hillary Clinton's email server.
	I thought that was pretty funny.
	As an SSID name.
	Mimi found one the other day, which was, I'm not good at naming hot spots.
	That was the SSID. I'd like to know what people name their hotspots.
	They don't, most of them are not creative.
	You could go on, like right now, I can look at this list.
	Oh, yeah, I'll look at my, you look at your list, I'll look at my list.
	That's a good idea.
	And they're very boring.
	Oh, you got me as a new Klingon empire.
	And if you're coming in for the guest network, it's guest of the empire.
	Okay, now here's the rest of these local...
	AT&T 9 SysQ 3 and 4 AT&T DHCU 9 WA I go down home home Well, here's one.
	Maui One.
	That's kind of cute.
	Xfinity Wi-Fi.
	WT, AT&T, AT&T. Oh, the surveillance van.
	There it is.
	The FBI surveillance van.
	Very low outputs.
	And then Hidden Network.
	Hidden, that's my...
	Hidden Network.
	But...
	Come on, people.
	You have to name these things something cute.
	Name them after your kids.
	Yeah, people are boring in my building here.
	Let me see.
	We've got a lot of HP printers.
	MotoVap.
	They're pretty close if you get HP printers giving you a signal.
	Yeah.
	HP printer B9. HP print F0. Nah, I've got nothing exciting here.
	Nothing.
	Yeah, they're boring.
	But I think that's rather interesting.
	So, have you been watching some television?
	Have you seen any of the Wonder Woman previews?
	Someone said that there was a big fracas over it, and I have not looked at it.
	What's going on?
	Well, I don't have anything about the fracas.
	I don't know what that's about.
	Yeah, there's protests.
	I hear people are mad about it.
	There's something going on with it.
	Well, maybe it's...
	I don't know.
	She's an Amazon goddess, supposedly.
	Well, I know that she had shaven armpits.
	That was a problem.
	Because that was not...
	It was armpit hair.
	That's cultural appropriation.
	Yeah, I think they digitally put some armpit hair in there.
	Well, whatever...
	If you see any of the trailers, this is kind of besides the point I'm going to try to make, you see any of the trailers, it's an incredibly violent film.
	Nice.
	She is busting through walls, she's clapping, banging her wrists together, killing everybody in the city.
	Killing men, probably, mainly?
	Mostly men, of course.
	And she's butchering people left and right.
	It looks like just a blood fest from beginning to end.
	Dynamite.
	We must see that in IMAX. It would be even bloodier in IMAX. Now, so they had the actress on.
	On the Kelly and...
	Ryan Seacrest is now a full-time...
	He took a gig working on this.
	Kelly Ripa and...
	Yes, the morning show on ABC. Yeah, so they're...
	Seacrest is doing that now?
	Permanently.
	Jesus, when does the guy sleep?
	I don't know how it's time to do that.
	And doesn't he live in Hollywood?
	Yeah.
	But the show, I think, comes from New York.
	I don't know.
	I think there's two of them.
	There's two of them.
	There's two Brian Seacrest.
	That wouldn't surprise me.
	So now thinking about the bloodbath and the head chopping and the brutality and the smashing through walls, here is the Wonder Woman actress discussing her character.
	And by the way, she's...
	Stop, stop.
	She's very annoying.
	She's an Israeli who is full of herself.
	That's amazing.
	So how would you describe her?
	Like, what is it about this character?
	You know, I think she's just amazing.
	For me, it's mind-blowing that this character has been around for 76 years, and only now should we get the opportunity to tell her origin story.
	But there's so many beautiful things about her.
	She's all about truth and justice and love and compassion and acceptance, and I think that...
	More than ever, these values are so relevant.
	Yeah.
	And we made sure to capture those messages in a very sweet way in the movie.
	It's funny, as I'm looking at you, I'm thinking like, oh, you so fit the role.
	You so look like a woman of female empowerment icon to me.
	You fit that role very well.
	You exude the role.
	Oh, man!
	Is it a Disney movie that's on ABC and they're not critical of it?
	I don't think...
	Or some ABC-related property, possibly.
	Oh, my goodness.
	But it's about this and that.
	What bullcrap?
	It's a bloodbath!
	Yeah.
	I find it very annoying.
	I did find out something interesting the other night.
	So we had a dinner...
	And one of the people at the dinner was a Sony executive.
	Ah!
	Okay.
	And I found out a couple of things.
	I found out some stuff about the North Korean hack.
	The hack, yeah.
	And the suspicions.
	A lot of people think it's an inside job still.
	But the thing that struck me most was this assertion, and I think Wonder Woman's part of this, And I was watching a show on ABC last night, 2020, which used to be an investigative journalism thing, it's become a dating show.
	Hmm.
	Is that the studios have all decided, and you know Hollywood, they all think, you know, whatever, they all decide.
	Yeah.
	They've all decided that the big market that they have to really, sorry, that they have to go after hard is middle-aged women.
	Hmm.
	I find this to be what?
	Middle-aged women?
	So you're going to see a lot of movies.
	And middle-aged is 40?
	Is that what we're calling middle-aged?
	I guess it's 40, but the thing that was on ABC was about a woman who had gotten divorced, and she's now living with her 14-year-old daughter, and she's dating again.
	You know, like an old woman dating.
	And...
	And it's the same thing.
	It's about these middle-aged women.
	Apparently, there's a big audience of middle-aged, bored, middle-aged women that they think they can do movies for and get their attention and get them out spending money.
	I can tell you exactly what this is.
	That makes nothing but sense to me.
	They're going after the disenfranchised Hillary voter.
	Yes, exactly.
	That's exactly right.
	And I think there's a big market because you can do all kinds of stuff that will just make them feel good.
	Yeah.
	Outstanding.
	And so we're going to see that for the next few years.
	And anybody out there who's catching movies, you can give us some analysis if you notice this trend of getting middle-aged...
	My wife was very adamant about this.
	She says that she's against it.
	And she says it's pathetic.
	And especially the show that we were watching on ABC, 2020, where this woman was trying to get it.
	She had to choose between men.
	She couldn't make up her mind.
	She was very annoying.
	You've run into these women.
	Someone just sent me a note.
	Spinsters.
	Spinsters.
	Someone just sent me a note about the movie.
	Remember, she is an Israeli.
	The movie takes place in Germany, World War II. And she kills a lot of Germans, which of course is okay.
	But there's some interesting...
	You take into account that it's very violent and that she's an Israeli and you're killing Germans.
	It sounds like a lot of stuff going on there.
	Could be.
	Hitler.
	It's like battling Hitler.
	So maybe this is possibly the real start in the first of a whole bunch of movies.
	This makes nothing but sense.
	You're a disenfranchised Hillary voter.
	Let's go kill some men.
	Particularly Hitler.
	You with me?
	Trump.
	Something that I got excoriated for a long time ago in the tech horny press has now come to light.
	And a lot of people, it finally solves a question I've had.
	I think I said when Google Voice first came out, I think they purchased something called Grand Central, if I'm not mistaken.
	And then they integrated that and then you could make calls through your browser and And you needed to approve Google's use of your microphone.
	And I believe it also simultaneously probably activates your camera.
	Or, you know, maybe if you have a webcam with camera or a camera and microphone.
	But microphone for sure.
	And if I had a...
	It'd have to be $100.
	But if I had some money for every single time someone says, you know...
	I'm on the phone.
	I'm talking to my friend.
	We're talking about our dogs.
	And then I go online and I get all kinds of dog food advertisements.
	And I said years ago, this is not a good idea.
	Don't let Google listen to you.
	Those guys I do not trust.
	And I don't know if you caught this story.
	Google has now removed apps from the App Store that had been using ultrasonic frequencies to track users.
	And it would work in multiple ways.
	Mainly, if you were watching TV, they put a high-frequency tone, a beacon, into a commercial or some other piece of content, and your phone would receive this and then take action, usually in an advertising manner.
	35 different...
	No, I said four out of 35 stores the team visited in two European cities had already been using the ultrasonic beacons.
	There's a company in San Francisco that was making these.
	And so this probably solves the big mystery.
	Which is?
	How you were...
	Google is pushing it on app makers, but it was actually happening.
	Advertising was taking place.
	If you think about it, from the Google perspective, it's a fantastic idea.
	And it's interesting because I, at one point, when I was really hard and heavy into the ham stuff, I came up with a demo.
	It didn't work too well.
	The demo was you could have an app on your phone and it would send out Morse code in ultra-high frequencies, which then another app could hear through its microphone and decode.
	And it worked at about a three-foot distance, not much more than that.
	I'm surprised that it works through television.
	You'd think they filter out certain, maybe not with 4K, but they filter out really high frequencies.
	But this is pretty despicable.
	I'm going to go back and say that from Google's perspective, you have your Android phone on your pocket, and it's on, unlike my phone, which is generally off or not even carrying it.
	But I'm different.
	But most people have their phone with them, and they have it in their pocket, and you walk into a Target.
	Target can send out a signal saying they visited Target.
	Right.
	And then you're now, not for any other purpose, but to put in the database that you're a Target customer.
	So you're a customer of Sport 5, the gun shop.
	They can profile you based on your habits when you're floating around.
	Yeah.
	And then by profiling you, they can convince some stupid advertisers that they got you nailed and they know that you want to buy their product, which is nonsense, by the way.
	It's an old version that used to be called psychographics.
	Ah, yes.
	Came right after demographics.
	Psychographics was the next big thing.
	The buzzword.
	Well, Psychographics had a good argument.
	It's the same kind of thing.
	This was pre-internet.
	They used to do magazine subscriptions, Psychographics guys, instead of you want to send a direct mail to a bunch of people that subscribe to Home and Garden.
	Right.
	You instead would go to a database company, and these database companies are all over the place, and they would consolidate the mailing list from this guy and that guy and this guy and that guy, and then you could profile somebody and say, well, the person who subscribes to guns and ammo and house and garden and country living, this is what they would buy for sausage.
	That's bullcrap.
	I mean, it's an interesting idea, but...
	Well, I'm going to see if there's an app for my phone.
	I'd love to be able to detect these high-frequency signals, see if they're coming through.
	I'm sure there's some app that may have that capability.
	And if not, I'm going to get me a service dog.
	You know, the minute the dog goes crazy.
	You'd have to train the dog to recognize that frequency.
	Dogs are doing crap like that all the time.
	Well, maybe the app is easier.
	You don't have to feed it.
	Yeah, well...
	You know, just thinking about it, and we talked about neural marketing in regards to oxytocin.
	You know, spray some of that stuff.
	Oh, it's so lovely in here.
	I want to buy something.
	Yeah.
	Maybe a lot more of this is going on.
	Well, I know at all the wind facilities in Las Vegas...
	Yeah, they pump in fragrance and oxygen.
	Yeah, they pump in fragrance and I think some oxygen too, but it's always this.
	When you first walk in, like the Mirage has the most of it, as far as I can tell.
	As soon as you walk into the lobby, you go, oh, this is nice.
	I think I shall gamble.
	It's a coconut, kind of a coconut banana-y vanilla smell of some sort.
	Well, the bottom line is I'm very happy that we don't have to go through all of this to continue to produce our outstanding product.
	In fact, we don't even know how many people listen to the show because we don't need to tell any advertisers that or make up some story about, yeah, well, you know, yeah, of course if they downloaded it, they listened to it.
	Sure, absolutely.
	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.
	I do have a few people to thank, including Sir Pete, the Baron of North Holland in Amsterdam.
	I am.
	$133.70, and of course he has been a major contributor, so we have to read his note.
	Thanks for your artisanal deconstruction craft.
	Great value and love.
	Craft and attention equals value equals love.
	This donation, L-E-E-T-O or 13370, is part of the insurance spoils after being scooped from my bike by a car.
	Oh, no.
	This is unusual in Amsterdam.
	Yes.
	People bike around, really?
	Yeah, it does.
	To boot, I faceplanted onto my kitchen floor last month, resulting in some more bodily damage.
	Oh my god, what's happening, Sir Pete?
	I don't know.
	Of course these accidents are not so subtle hints to up my no agenda karma.
	So can you please de-douche me, wish me some get well soon karma and perhaps a dab of love karma?
	Yes, for Sir Pate Baron of North Holland and Friesland de-douche.
	You've been de-douche.
	And some love karma.
	You've got karma.
	We got the love.
	We got the love karma for you, baby.
	David Oosterbon.
	Oosterbon.
	Oosterbon.
	I would say.
	129.79.
	This gets me a 133.33 slave donation away from knighthood.
	So he's almost there.
	Plus your generous addition of a penny.
	There it is.
	Home remodeling karma you would like.
	Put that at the end.
	Yeah.
	Put that at the end for you.
	Meanwhile, Donald Borowski.
	I hate to keep reading notes, but here we go.
	Ah, Starfleet Command.
	Unfortunately, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	He's a Starfleet Command member.
	From the United Federation of Planets.
	And so he sends it on his official letterhead.
	Hey guys, no agenda has been invaluable lately.
	The lamestream media, even the United Federation of Planets refers to it as the lamestream media.
	Yeah, outer space is nuts.
	And their camp followers are trying to recreate the moment of media power that was Watergate, unbalancing dimension B brains in the process.
	No agenda lets us producers sit back, examine things critically, and call out the bullshit.
	This keeps our brains in balance.
	Cheers.
	Cheers.
	Sir Donald of the fire bottles.
	Thank you, sir.
	Yes, thank you.
	Joseph Gaz.
	Carson on $100.
	Amando Martinez in Reynosa, Mexico.
	933.33.
	We need more Mexican listeners.
	Robert Gusick, 9330.
	Austin Wilson in Sammamish, Washington, 9320.
	Sir Stephen Hutto in Broomfield, Colorado, 8080.
	As Thomas Burke, 8008, boobs.
	Sir Schwartz, 6999, and he is in Denmark.
	Sir Lucas of the Lost Bits, Tacoma, Washington, 65-56.
	Stephen, or Stephan, Vischer, double nickels on the dime.
	Paul Love, double nickels on the dime.
	Jeremy Dixon, double nickels on the dime.
	We got double nickels on the dime day with Donald Napier being the last in the group.
	Timothy Pettigrew in Chicago Heights, California.
	Chicago Heights, Illinois, 52-92.
	Now, this is the Thomas Pettigrew, 5292.
	John Foley in Chicago Heights, 5292.
	These are the 5292 Celebration of Memorial Day optional donation, which we got a few in.
	Melissa Hodges, same thing, 5292.
	Naveed Khan, 5292.
	John Fitzpatrick in Heber Springs, Arkansas.
	And last but not least, Marta Kallstrom, 5292.
	Eric Hochul, and somehow his name got through the spreadsheet.
	Yeah, for once.
	I've never seen that forever.
	But without an umlaut, to be fair.
	Maybe he left it out, or who knows.
	Berlin, Deutschland, $52.
	I think he's a sir or two by now, isn't he?
	Yes, I believe so.
	Chris Sundberg in Mercer Island, Washington, $51.
	Sir Sluf, Who also has a note that I think is worth reading because he's one of our guys.
	In memory of my grandfather, Paul St.
	John, and my friend and classmate, Navy Commander Job Price.
	Karma, please.
	I'm going to give that to him.
	You've got karma.
	Peter Colvin in Ballymensa, UK, somewhere.
	Is he on the birthday list?
	Oh, it is in yellow.
	Yes, he is.
	Okay.
	And finally, these are the $50 donors, name and location.
	Niles Bonnaker in Hamburg, Deutschland.
	Louis Pastor in Miami, Florida.
	I think it was Louis.
	Pastor.
	Pastor.
	Brian Evans, parts unknown.
	Jeffrey Zellin in Oakland, Michigan.
	Sir Peter Totes, to you, $50.
	Brian Matthews in Balbergen, Ireland.
	David Middlebrook in UK someplace.
	And finally, Sir Gadget Virtuoso in Watauga, Texas.
	And Joshua Defabo.
	In Oakland, Oaktown, California.
	I want to thank all these folks for helping us out on show 933.
	And we've got another show coming up, so please continue to support.
	Yes.
	We have a make good, which we missed not once but twice, from Sir J. Riley Kasteen.
	Finally found his note.
	Remember, we couldn't find his note on the last show.
	I'm not quite sure what happened there.
	But he says, this $100 donation from two episodes ago, I believe, would bring me to the baronet level.
	However, if I could forgo this achievement, it would be greatly appreciated.
	You see, this Friday, May 26th, which we missed...
	Marks our 10th wedding anniversary.
	With so many gift options available for anniversaries and with our combined penchant for not doing the traditional when it comes to such things, I thought gifting a knighthood would be the way to go.
	Please gift this knighthood to my wonderful wife, Marie.
	She is the light of my heart and the mother of my children, and that truly she is the dame of my days.
	Oh, that's good.
	As for her name, well, only her middle name will do.
	Please bestow upon her the title of Dame Ann Wordsmith.
	Ann is A-Y-N-E. That's still pronounced Ann, I presume, right?
	Yes.
	Okay, so...
	Ann Rand has that name.
	Yeah, but she spells it differently.
	No, she has just a second N. No, she spells it A-Y-N-N. Oh, yeah, I think you're right, yeah.
	So, we will turn Marie into Dame today.
	I'm very happy about it.
	Sorry for messing up the anniversary gift.
	She sounds like a wonderful woman.
	I'm sure she's very happy about the whole thing.
	I'm sure she's totally okay with everything.
	And thank you, everybody, for supporting the show this week.
	It's a tough one on the weekend of a holiday weekend when our biggest country of support always falls down a little bit.
	So appreciate it.
	Also, people came in in under $50 for reasons of anonymity.
	And, of course, another show coming up on Thursday.
	Karma as karma is you.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	You've got karma.
	Happy birthday from everybody here at the best podcast in the universe!
	Okay, we have no title changes because we have a dame and a knight, so let's get an extra bid and make good sword.
	Ooh, was that it?
	I'm trying to get it out.
	I got a new electronic shield for it.
	Oh, there it goes.
	Jacob Tomah and Marie Wordsmith.
	Please step forward, if you don't mind, to the podium.
	We are very happy to bring you into the roundtable of the No Agenda Knights and Dames.
	You deserve it because of your contribution to the best podcast in the university amount of $1,000 or more.
	And I hereby very proudly pronounce the KB, Sir Tomah and Dave Ann Wordsmith.
	Thank you, Sir Riley, for bringing her that.
	For you, we've got the requisite.
	Hookers and blowers, renboys and chardonnay, lead slingers, whiskey and gunpowder, labia and lasagna, ass cream with bear fillings, cannabis and cabernet, we've got breast milk and pablum, ginger ale and gerbil, sparking side and escorts, bong hits and bourbon, and the ever-effervescent mutton and mead.
	Head on over to NoahGeneration.com slash rings and we'll get that out to you as soon as possible.
	And remember to tweet it out when you get it in.
	We like that.
	We like that a lot.
	Hey, let me see.
	Oh, I have a whole bunch of...
	Oh, I got some fun stuff from the beat.
	From my beat.
	From my beat.
	What beat is this?
	I got so many beats.
	I got the view as a beat.
	Oh, yeah, the view.
	Yeah, you know who was on the view?
	They got some great guests.
	Oh, they had nothing but the...
	It's the best show ever.
	I know.
	Donald Rumsfeld.
	Donald Rumsfeld.
	Oh, God.
	On The View.
	He must be promoting a book.
	Yeah.
	And when you have...
	I think he is, actually.
	When you have Sonny Hostin, who is, of course, a litigator or former...
	She's a prosecutor.
	Whatever.
	She's a lawyer.
	What do you think they keep pushing for?
	There's only one thing.
	Only one correct answer.
	They want to...
	His imprisonment?
	Close.
	It's the I word.
	Impeachment.
	The internet?
	Impeachment.
	Oh, impeachment, yes.
	This was a very tough day for the women at The View.
	And you know, I see some similarities right now going on.
	I mean, there was a break-in in the Watergate complex.
	In this case, there was a Russian break-in on the internet.
	Similar, no?
	There are other things I have here.
	There were many similarities.
	He fired, what's his name, Archibald Cox, the lead investigator.
	Trump fired his lead investigator.
	Oh, so hold on a second.
	So what we're talking about here is obviously a talking point list that Hillary's people put together because this is what Hillary talked about in the speech that you quoted from.
	How beautiful is that?
	It's synchronicity.
	It's not coordinated.
	It's just coincidence.
	No, it's just a coincidence.
	He fired up.
	She's got Archibald Cox at the tip of her tongue at all times.
	Any similarities?
	He fired, what's his name, Archibald Cox, the lead investigator.
	Trump fired his lead investigator.
	Comey.
	Comey.
	I think drawing those, suggesting that we're at a point that approximates Watergate, I think is a stretch.
	You know what, Don, I really...
	Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
	You're on The View, man!
	What are you doing?
	I think it's a stretch.
	You know what, Don, I really believe this is worse because the Russian interference, we have a foreign nation interfering with our election.
	You don't think that that's unbelievably sad?
	This is a great interview.
	I like Rumsfeld.
	I'm not sure why he did that.
	Maybe he doesn't have a book.
	But he pushed back.
	For this country?
	That's scary.
	It's scary.
	It's scary.
	And we'll find out what the investigation proves.
	But we don't know the answer.
	If it's true, should he be impeached?
	If it's true, what is if?
	If his administration colluded with the Russians to win this election.
	I haven't seen any evidence that they have colluded.
	Why would I want to if that?
	Hypothetically!
	Why do you want to engage in hypotheticals?
	Because it could become a reality.
	I want to engage in hypotheticals because it could happen.
	I want to engage in hypotheticals.
	Because it could become a reality.
	This man was elected president of the United States.
	There is an investigation on the subject you've cited, which is perfectly appropriate.
	Every administration has investigations.
	And a special prosecutor.
	Nothing has been concluded, but I have a sense you may be jumping to conclusions.
	No, but one more.
	But it's a hypothesis.
	No, but she's not jumping to conclusions when she says it is a fact that the Russians interfered in the election.
	We know that for a fact.
	Do we think other countries haven't had messed around in our country before?
	Lots of countries are interested in So it's okay then?
	No, it's not okay.
	Supposedly, these are enemies of the United States.
	Yeah, but you're taking a leap from another country horsing around in our business.
	Horsing around.
	And collusion.
	And there is an enormous difference.
	But if there is collusion, isn't that an impeachable offense?
	Work with me, Don!
	What do you have to take to watch that stuff?
	Are you smoking dope?
	Oh yeah, I am completely drinking whiskey?
	Yeah, completely doped up.
	What do you think, man?
	Hey, just a quick little news blurb.
	Sad that no one's really talking about him.
	He died at the same time a musician died.
	Oh, bad luck for you, Zbigniew.
	The former U.S. National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, has died at the age of 89.
	The son of a Polish diplomat, he was National Security Advisor during Jimmy Carter's presidency.
	His time in office was marked by Iran's seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, and he helped to secure the release of the embassy staff held hostage.
	But of course we had Greg Allman die and overshadowed.
	So sad.
	What I have here is, it's like a short package really.
	When we played the clip of that journalist who was crying about being body slammed.
	Body slammed.
	Body slammed.
	And we obviously correctly predicted that this would all be blamed on Trump.
	And I have a nice little package of examples, which I think is just beautiful.
	From every single news outlet you can imagine, let us start with CNN. You've got this kind of culture of, you know, the reporters are the enemy going on.
	And it depends.
	I mean, you see a lot of Democrats pointing the finger at the president right now saying, you've created, you've helped create at least this culture where people consider reporters to be, you know, an enemy of the people.
	Exactly.
	It certainly creates an environment in which this is somehow okay to hate reporters and that sometimes fists fly.
	And this isn't subtle.
	This is the President of the United States calling the press the, quote, enemy of the American people.
	A lot of rhetoric in his rallies over the course of the campaign where people at the rallies expressed a lot of anger and hostility to the press and reporters.
	And it's part of a larger pattern we should be aware of.
	This comes to the people of Montana to send a message.
	I agree.
	Right now, and I don't know how familiar your viewers are with how reporting works around Capitol Hill.
	But reporters walk up to lawmakers.
	That's one of the beautiful things about covering Congress.
	You can go straight up to the lawmakers, House members, senators, put a microphone in their face, ask them a question.
	This is how it works.
	It happens like this all the time.
	So this is just a little preview episode of what life is going to be like if he wins.
	And you can't body slam the reporters.
	I've never had that happen in the Capitol.
	Body slam.
	This body slamming thing, man.
	I love that.
	Well, apparently, according to one witness, he not only body slammed the guy, but threw him down, jumped on top of him, and started punching him profusely when the guy said, you broke my glasses!
	Do you have a clip of that?
	No.
	Well, here, it might be in here.
	This is Giaconte and the journalist.
	Oh, okay.
	I hope it's in there.
	Republican Greg Gianforte is heading to Washington to represent Montana in the House.
	He won a special election yesterday, the day after he was arrested for body-slamming a reporter.
	Body-slamming!
	Gary Peterson is in Big Sky Country.
	Woo!
	In victory, Republican Greg Gianforte was first happy, then humble.
	I should not have responded in the way that I did.
	And for that, I'm sorry.
	And you're forgiven!
	Gianforte faces charges of misdemeanor assault.
	And by the way, I have the original of that, which I pulled as a clip.
	Let's just...
	I've got to stop you.
	Hold on.
	This is great.
	Hold on a second.
	So, let me just, your clip is fantastic in that regard.
	Okay.
	Let's listen to the actual recording.
	And when you make a mistake, you have to own a tape.
	Last night I made a mistake.
	And I took an action that I can't take back.
	And I'm not proud of what happened.
	I should not have responded in the way that I did.
	And for that I'm sorry.
	And you're forgiven.
	Now you hear the level of that audio.
	Let's play it again for you.
	Sorry.
	And you're forgiven.
	It's a little bit in the background.
	Yeah, but they clipped him.
	They edited his little spiel.
	So this is a fake clip.
	This is fake news.
	So again, here's his thing.
	And for that, I'm sorry.
	And you're forgiven.
	Now let's listen to your clip.
	Also, besides the level being down, there was a longer pause than the one you're going to play now.
	Yeah, and I'm trying to think.
	No, I didn't cut anything out, so I'm trying to think what that is.
	Okay, let me just...
	Let's go again here.
	And for that, I'm sorry.
	And you're forgiven.
	Okay, now let's hear yours.
	And for that, I'm sorry.
	And you're forgiven.
	Sweetened that much?
	Let's make sure...
	So they sweetened it.
	Now, why would CBS... I think, you know, I think it's just like kind of counter-programming.
	CBS punched that up for a reason.
	If I was cutting this thing, I would have left that out.
	Because it's funny, but you only do it to ridicule the woman.
	It's like, oh, this guy beat up some reporter and then this crazy Republican woman.
	It is dishonest journalism.
	I don't care.
	It is dishonest journalism.
	You manipulated that.
	You manipulate.
	That's dishonest.
	It's a minor thing.
	It's totally dishonest.
	It's dishonest and not okay.
	Well, this is what I've been saying about CBS week after week, which is they ask a question and somebody will give a different answer, but the brain accepts the question as positive or as a real thing.
	Yes, yes.
	Aren't you sure?
	You're pretty sure he's a douchebag?
	Then it goes to the other person.
	The guy says, yeah, I did buy a Ford, but it was last week.
	It's like a complete non-sequitur.
	And they do this all the time.
	It's a very dishonest operation.
	Well, should we get back to the media being douchebags?
	Do you want to play the rest of your clip?
	What was the rest of my...
	No, you can play the rest of my clip just to finish it, whatever it was.
	First happy, then humble.
	I should not have responded in the way that I did.
	And for that, I'm sorry.
	And you're forgiven.
	GM40 faces charges of misdemeanor assault and will have to appear in court.
	Wait, there's something.
	He said, I apologize in the original clip, and here they only said he, I, uh...
	I'm sorry for what I did.
	Yeah, but that's not the original sequence.
	He said, I apologize.
	No, and that's what I said.
	I said they edited that, too.
	So disarming.
	And will have to appear in court before June 7th.
	But some in the crowd said the fault belonged to the reporter for being too aggressive.
	Eric Jacobs voted for Gianforto.
	In the old days, it used to be a man could step out and solve his problems man to man.
	I think there has to be a period where people draw the line.
	The debate has now reached well beyond Montana.
	Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh also seemed to defend GN40. This manly, obviously studly Republican candidate took the occasion to beat up a pajama-clad journalist.
	And just this morning, Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott pointed to a bullet-riddled target and actually said this...
	I'm going to carry it around in case I see any reporters.
	Some say this anti-press sentiment is being fueled by President Trump.
	A few days ago, I called the fake news the enemy of the people.
	And they are.
	They are the enemy of the people.
	It's really a game changer.
	Joel Simon is executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists.
	When journalists are doing their job and asking tough questions and sometimes being a little pushy, that that would somehow justify some sort of physical attack, that's unacceptable.
	And we have to speak out about that.
	America is a long ways away from the kind of attacks, sometimes including murder, that journalists have suffered in other countries.
	The worry is that violence aimed at journalists here could be an ominous step in that direction.
	Oh yeah, this is what it's all about.
	They blame it on Trump.
	What was it Trump said?
	The mainstream media is the enemy of the American people.
	Yeah, that's exactly what you would think he said, the way this whole story was presented.
	But what he actually said, and you have the clip of it, you heard it, but you didn't hear it, because what he said was, fake news is the enemy of the people.
	Holy crap.
	Holy moly crap.
	I need help.
	Everybody needs help.
	Where was that?
	I want to hear it again.
	It was about beyond halfway.
	Okay, let's go about that.
	You got me with that one.
	Republican candidate took the occasion to beat up a pajama-clad journalist.
	And just this morning, Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott pulled a riddled target.
	This anti-press sentiment is being fueled by President Trump.
	A few days ago, I called the fake news the enemy of the people.
	Jesus, you're right.
	They are the enemy of the people.
	You are right.
	You are right.
	Did I give you a plus one?
	I deserve it.
	And CBS deserves a plus two for being able to pull that stunt.
	On me!
	On you.
	Jeez.
	Who listens?
	Jeez, I must be tired.
	Jeez, I can't believe that.
	That is the definition of fake news right now.
	That is completely dishonest journalism.
	Yeah.
	I don't know if there's any honest journalism.
	So all of the reporters, all the press, they're all on show.
	And they're carrying...
	Wow, man.
	You're sure he's never said the media are the enemy of the people?
	He's never said that, huh?
	Let's see if we can find it.
	Well, you might find something like that, but in this...
	Well, in this report, yes.
	In this report, you didn't say...
	And I would say this.
	Let's be honest about this.
	If they had that clip, that's what they would have played.
	They would put it in there.
	I agree.
	Let's listen to Andrea Mitchell.
	What is the political impact of this?
	And take a step back, because a lot of my colleagues have worked alongside this reporter.
	They say that he's a very even-tempered person.
	There was nothing that Ben Jacobs did to elicit this kind of response.
	But there's so much hostility, frankly, to the press.
	A lot of it generated by, you know, the Donald Trump rallies, frankly.
	And a lot of my colleagues faced the blowback from that.
	So this is kind of an extension of that, is it not?
	No.
	Because what we're not seeing is we're not seeing the crowds attacking journalists.
	This is another politician.
	Let's check out MSNBC. How much blame should the president get?
	How much responsibility should he bear, given a fair amount of the rhetoric that's been aimed at the media?
	Well, President Trump has certainly set this up for about a year or so, with the media being the enemy.
	He even referred to himself talking about the enemy of the people.
	I think it's not unreasonable to think that when a candidate for Congress behaves this way, he's been influenced by that kind of cavalier attitude toward what's really a constitutionally protected form of engagement in our society.
	This is a distinction that has to be made very quickly.
	Freedom of the press does not mean you can just come into my space.
	That means you can write.
	You can write, you can publish, you can do what you want.
	It doesn't mean you have the right to come into my office.
	Even ask me a question.
	That is not the right of the First Amendment.
	But it's being changed before our very eyes.
	It's a constitutional right for the press to be assholes.
	No, it's not really.
	They can write as douchebags, but that is not constitutionally protected.
	Here's Joe Scarborough from the Morning Joe's.
	It's insane that this would happen.
	A guy's asked, again, about CBO scoring for a health care bill and how he's going to vote.
	And he completely explodes, beats this guy up, pushes him to the ground.
	You have a Fox News camera crew there verifying that that's exactly what happened.
	Fox News reporters verified.
	What?
	That's what he's saying.
	Where is the clip?
	Oh, they don't have any clip.
	They weren't rolling camera.
	They just testified, you know, that's what happened.
	Exactly what happened.
	Fox News reporters verifying that.
	You know, Mike Barnicle, I'm sorry.
	Yesterday we joked about being able to draw a straight line from Donald Trump to some of the things that he's being investigated for.
	You can draw a straight line from Republican candidates.
	Thinking that sort of behavior is okay when you have Donald Trump berating reporters throughout the entire campaign, suggesting terrible things, calling them, using the Stalinist term, enemy of the people, a term so offensive even in the Soviet Union that Khrushchev outlawed it after Stalin died.
	Okay.
	Being berated, you have, well, Mika Brzezinski being berated by Trump.
	Mika Brzezinski, who is the biggest douche towards the president, just calling him insane.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	You're boffin' her.
	You have CNN. All of CNN. It's dangerous for CNN reporters sometimes to go into those arenas because Trump is whipping people into a frenzy.
	Although that has not happened.
	This is what they're missing.
	This was a politician.
	This was not the crowds.
	Not a big leap.
	From what the head of the Republican Party is saying every day...
	Is he the head of the Republican Party?
	I thought Priebus was.
	Technically, I think technically he is.
	What happened last night in Montana?
	Well, on that straight line, Joe, I mean, you can track all of the candidates' prior statements about the media.
	The media is against us.
	The media is against you, the people.
	And it leads inevitably to something like this, and it also leads inevitably to such a pathetic statement that the campaign released, which discounts the one thing that the media, the press is after, truth.
	It completely discounts the truth of what happened.
	Oh, okay, the truth.
	Truth.
	You mean the truth.
	Two more in this series.
	Now we have Jennifer Rubin, who is a reporter for WAPO. WAPO, WAPO, WAPO, WAPO, WAPO. Jennifer Rubin is a classic example, and WAPO does this better than anyone else, of a straw man.
	She is billed, and she came, she's a, if you look, all you do is look at her.
	She is a liberal Hillary supporter.
	By look and feel and by what she writes about.
	True.
	They have decided to do this.
	This is a very good ploy.
	To make it look balanced, she has been assigned to be the Republican blogger.
	What?
	Yeah, you look at her bio at the WAPO. No.
	Jennifer Rubin is the conservative blogger representing the conservative perspective.
	No.
	Yes.
	Well, that makes nothing but sense.
	She's right on point.
	This is absolutely stunning.
	First of all, that he would be threatened apparently by a meek question you heard on the audio, a very politely posed question.
	And there are all ways of manner in which candidates say, I don't want to talk to you, or as he initially did, go talk to my communications guy or scram.
	But to physically accost someone, throw them down on the floor, potentially injure them, what is wrong with this man?
	I mean, this is really sort of appalling.
	And I do want to say that there is a cost to continually berating the media.
	There is a cost to...
	Labeling these people, myself included, enemies, the opposition, continuing to berate them, calling on crowds to hoot and holler at them, you create an atmosphere in which these people are not treated like human beings.
	And although I'm sure the president did not intend for this particular candidate to do this, that is the end effect when you begin behaving that way.
	The fish rots from the head, the tone of the politics of the country is set by the president of the United States.
	Now he's a rotting fish head.
	He's a rotting fish in this.
	She's supposed to be a conservative representing him.
	Hey, and those crowds, they're hooting and hollering, John.
	That's dangerous.
	So here's the one thing that no one wants to bring up, especially the media.
	And this is the real problem that the Democrats have, and they know it.
	They know it's a problem.
	And it shows up in comedy acts once in a while, which is you run a guy who is like...
	Up for every sort of ridicule, never been in office before, and they run Hillary against them, and she loses.
	And it's like, how could...
	The joke is, in this regard, is how can you not beat Donald Trump in a general election?
	Well, she did.
	Are we that bad at what we're trying to do?
	This is the story about this guy.
	Same thing.
	This guy's like a big bully, punches some guy out, and there are witnesses that are getting slugged, I guess, broke his glasses, and you can't beat him?
	What is wrong with the Democrat Party?
	There is something fundamentally wrong with the Democrat Party.
	You're right.
	And they're not discussing that.
	Oh, they're talking about rotting from the fish head and all the rest of it.
	You're right.
	No, no, no.
	No one wants to say, why can't we beat this guy?
	And who was running the show?
	Who was running the Democrat Party?
	Do we even know?
	Is it still Donna Brazile?
	It was Schultz, and then it became the black woman who sold out.
	Donna Brazile.
	Donna Brazile.
	Yeah, Donna Brazile for a while, and that's the DNC. I don't know.
	Let's see who is running the DNC. We have a second to do this.
	I think we should do...
	We know who it is because we just have forgotten what it is, what it amounts to.
	DNC head.
	But you know that she won the popular vote, so she didn't really lose.
	That's another thing.
	This is another problem they have.
	There's this denial.
	Oh, that's right.
	This is when they decided to put Tom Perez as the chair with Keith Ellison.
	Keith Ellison, the Muslim from Michigan, who they wanted to be the guy.
	You know, let's put a Muslim at the head of the Democratic National Committee.
	Yeah, but the problem was he had a penis, so that was no good.
	Well, it's all guys anyway, which makes it even funnier.
	But no, these people are incompetent.
	The Democrat Party really has some issues.
	They've got to solve them instead of just whining and trying this new scheme.
	And by the way, we talked about this at the dinner table with a different group of people, and it was like, Do they think you can just harp on this impeachment, and we talk about this on the show, harp on this thing until 2018 without finding people getting annoyed?
	I mean, I thought about this too.
	Hillary and the Democrats have been doing this for a number of iterations of the election cycle.
	They start too soon.
	I'm ready for Hillary was a year before the election began.
	You were sick of her by the time she actually got to the point where she's running, where she's in the ballot.
	Hillary, I thought she's been president before.
	And now they're starting, they started this too soon, this impeachment thing.
	They think they could maintain it.
	Yeah, their timing's way off.
	I agree.
	Their timing is way off and it annoys people.
	Well, let's play the final clip in this series, my favorite.
	Ben Ferguson is the only conservative on the CNN sex to box.
	Six people in the box.
	Six all talking.
	Five hate Trump.
	One is going to do something very dumb.
	What is the dumbest thing you can do?
	Say something that might be objective?
	No.
	Say, well, Barack Obama, if you do anything like that, it's wrong.
	But, in this case, it was pretty funny.
	You want to see some heads explode?
	You might want to step back from your speakers.
	Again, we need to look at this individual as a grown man running for Congress and not try to score political points when dealing with him.
	And he made a stupid mistake.
	I personally would not vote for him today.
	That's the reason I don't like to early vote, because stuff like this can happen.
	But let's not try to somehow...
	This is like the kid that gets in trouble and the parent doesn't want to hold the kid accountable, so he says he blames the friends for getting him in trouble while you're hanging out with bad people.
	No.
	You made a bad decision.
	Don't try to connect it to Donald Trump.
	The president and the vice president supported this candidate.
	The president and the vice president support this candidate with a royal call.
	The vice president stood by him.
	This is not about Barack Obama.
	This is about this president supporting this candidate who is filling a vacant seat because the person who was in that seat is now in the cabinet of this administration.
	There are people that Barack Obama...
	Why does Barack Obama come into this piece?
	Listen to me.
	This is not about Barack Obama.
	This is about the issue today.
	Listen to what I'm actually saying.
	No, you're making my point for me, which is this.
	When you are the president, you basically support the people that are running on your side of the aisle.
	There are people that were shady and did stupid things, and some are disgraced politicians.
	Anthony Weiner is one of them, which a lot of Democrats supported at one point.
	Wait, wait, wait, wait.
	My point is it.
	My point is it.
	Why are we talking about here?
	We're here right now, my friends.
	Come on, come on, come on.
	Let's stay on track.
	I think Ben just acknowledged.
	I think Ben just acknowledged.
	I love you, Ben, but hang on.
	I think Ben just acknowledged that Donald Trump has terrible judgment for supporting GM Forte.
	But here's the other thing.
	To Ben's point.
	You can't tie the two of them together.
	Okay, but listen.
	Bad candidates can't handle the scrutiny of the press.
	And that's true of a congressional candidate in Montana.
	And that's true of the President of the United States who cannot handle the scrutiny of the press.
	And that is one thing that Trump and Gianforte have in common.
	And Ben, you cannot break up the text.
	That's a stretch.
	That's actually based on this clip.
	Which is the, after all the traveling, it was done.
	Yeah.
	What's his name?
	I have something on that, too.
	Major Garrett.
	This is his lament after the trip.
	Oh, okay.
	Major Garrett is, what is he on there?
	He's NBC? He's the guy that's on CBS. CBS. This entire trip, the president has held not one press conference with traveling U.S. reporters.
	Well, wait, wait, wait.
	Nancy Pelosi was very upset about this trip.
	I'm just wondering for your impressions of President Trump's trip so far, his first foreign trip, and if you think it's been a successful trip and some of the messages he's been trying to deliver.
	Do I think it's a successful trip?
	Here's the thing.
	I was in like four countries, five countries, whatever, during the break.
	I have said I thought it was unusual for the President of the United States to go to Saudi Arabia first.
	Saudi Arabia.
	Yeah, he was selling some arms, lady.
	He was doing the business of the people, selling billions of dollars worth of shiny stuff that kills brown people in sandy areas.
	It's what the president does.
	He's the head sales guy.
	Saudi Arabia.
	Saudi Arabia.
	It wasn't even alphabetical.
	It wasn't even alphabetical, John.
	He should have done the countries alphabetical.
	Oh yeah, oh yeah.
	And just to prove it, other politicians went to Canada first.
	C comes before S. Saudi Arabia.
	It wasn't even alphabetical.
	I mean, Saudi Arabia.
	Now, notice the previous five presidents.
	President Reagan, President George Herbert Walker Bush, President Clinton, President...
	George W. Bush and President Obama, four of them went to Canada first.
	Yes!
	C before S! Canada!
	And one of them went to Mexico.
	George W. Bush went to Mexico.
	Hey, didn't Trump go to Mexico?
	Did I miss something?
	He didn't go to Mexico?
	He just became president.
	He went, I think, just before.
	Mexico first.
	In our hemisphere.
	I think he had a meeting.
	He had a meeting, yeah.
	Meeting, yeah.
	It didn't have to be in our hemisphere, but our friends and neighbors.
	What is she nuts?
	What difference does it make at this point?
	Yes.
	You want to hear another clip where you can hear how completely nuts this woman is?
	See if you can catch it.
	Talk about Russia's undermining our elections.
	They did it.
	It's not even a question.
	They hacked, they leaked, they disrupted.
	The question is, was there a collusion between the campaign and the next?
	You can't know until you have the full-fledged...
	Can I just ask one...
	And to have a president say, if he did, to the director of the FBI, or the DNI, the director of national intelligence, or the NRA person that...
	NRA? Who's the NRA? The NRA person.
	The National Rifle Association?
	Yes, the NRA. Is it a government agency now?
	The NRA person.
	Director of the FBI, or the DNI, the Director of National Intelligence, or the NRA person that...
	Yeah, the NRA is not part of the intelligence community.
	Well, not that we know.
	She is such a douche.
	Massive douche.
	All right.
	Well, I think we're probably wrapping it up.
	I mean, I got a lot of clips left I can move.
	They're all easy to move.
	Yeah, I got something on Portland, which will be interesting, but I want to hold that for Thursday because I need your feedback on that.
	It's some historical context of Portland, which I was unaware of.
	And I just want to finish with one clip.
	Okie doke.
	And this is just a clip so I can complain.
	Mr.
	Rogers, please tell me it's Mr.
	Rogers.
	Oh, I can do the Mr.
	Rogers clip.
	Let's do that.
	This is an example.
	This story is somehow orchestrating this guy who writes for Entertainment Weekly.
	Do we all know who Mr.
	Rogers is?
	I don't think this is well known.
	Mr.
	Rogers is an old child show.
	He's dead now.
	He died.
	He died.
	He used to come out and say really soothing things to the kids.
	It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
	A wonderful day in the neighborhood.
	And he had a little train set.
	Hello neighbor.
	I never liked this guy's show.
	But this guy, this writer apparently ran into him and he's retelling this story.
	And this showed up as exactly the same story on PBS. And then CBS, the exact same story, then I decided to look it up, and it's all over the place.
	The other TV stations didn't bite, but everybody else did.
	There's something up with this story.
	It was Mr.
	Fred Rogers who once said, when I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, look for the helpers.
	You will always find people who are helping.
	Thousands shared that quote on social media this week, including a senior writer from Entertainment Weekly named Anthony Bresnikan.
	Hmm.
	All right, that's all I cut because it's just a sappy story after that.
	The Brez in the Can has these stories about meeting him in an elevator after he saw him when he was depressed and he felt bad about life and he met Rogers in the elevator and he gave him a song and dance about, oh, all you need to do is cheer up.
	And it went on and on.
	It was the exact story that was run on CBS. And it was the feel-good story at the end of the show where Scott Pelley can back off and give a big smile and say, and that's the news.
	That's the news.
	Hmm.
	And it's just like, I just found this is some lead-in to something coming.
	It's just too well produced for no real payoff.
	I mean, if they had a book or something right now, I'd say, well, that was the reason.
	But I don't know what the reason is.
	Just keep an eye on Scott Bresnikoff, whatever his name is.
	Is there a movie coming out, maybe?
	I looked, I looked, I looked.
	No movie?
	Hmm.
	Is it going into some kind of...
	Well, there might be, but I couldn't find it.
	Hmm.
	Maybe Mr.
	Rogers Special?
	I have no idea.
	Hmm.
	There was a Mr.
	Rogers movie, but that was years ago.
	Yeah, no, I have no idea.
	I'm just saying it's too much coincidence for my taste.
	Hmm.
	I agree.
	For that to be...
	Who does he write for?
	Entertainment Weekly.
	Well, that's what everyone reads over there at the news.
	It makes nothing but sense.
	That's their show prep.
	What's going on, everybody?
	Hey, this guy saw Mr.
	Rogers.
	Look for the helpers.
	Maybe this is like Trump and his helpers.
	I don't know.
	I'm sure it's related to Trump somehow.
	We'll see.
	All right, everybody.
	Just a heads up.
	Yes.
	Thank you all so much for tuning in to the best podcast in the universe.
	We appreciate your support in many ways.
	Thank you, War Room, NoAgendaStream.com.
	Good to have you there.
	Thanks to our end-of-show remixers.
	Some great stuff coming up as well.
	Danny Luce, UKPMX. Double shot from him.
	And we will return on Thursday with another episode.
	Remember us in the meantime at Dvorak.org slash NA. Coming to you from downtown Austin, Texas, in the common law condo in my Cludio, FEMA Region 6.
	Good morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I am just going to enjoy the rest of the day because it's a holiday, and then tomorrow I'm going to, I don't know, I'm not going to do anything.
	There's nothing to do.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	You take your time, my friend.
	Talk to you on Thursday, everybody.
	Until then, stay woke, my millennials, and adios, mofos.
	I really do believe much of what you saw coming out of Trump's mouth was a play from Putin's playbook.
	Putin's playbook.
	Was a play from Putin's playbook.
	Putin's playbook.
	I think that when you saw him, Putin's playbook.
	Colin Henry crooked.
	Putin's playbook.
	The Putin's playbook.
	Putin's playbook.
	Putin's playbook.
	Lock her up, lock her up, all of that.
	Lock her up, lock her up, all of that.
	Putin's playbook.
	I think that when you saw him...
	I think that when you saw him... I think that when you saw him... I think that when you saw him...
	I think that when you saw him...
	I really do believe the Putin's playbook.
	Much of what you saw coming out of Trump's mouth, Putin's playbook, was a play from Putin's playbook.
	Potence Playbook. Potence Playbook. Potence Playbook.
	Oreos are just as addictive as cocaine.
	I'm a digital holder of the highest order.
	You're in facial recognition on his head.
	Yeah, do you think they're falling off the knees at the fall of steel?
	Oh, bullshit.
	At his head.
	Yeah.
	So they could ID him immediately.
	And that meant you're in facial recognition on his head.
	Yeah.
	I hate to know just, you know, things really.
	Herb is just, you know.
	Ha, ha, ha.
	And that meant you're in facial recognition on his head.
	Yeah.
	You don't know things really.
	But I think it's responsible to bring up a threat of the American people to bring up...
	Yeah.
	Do you think they have to do more with the head?
	She's a permit.
	She's a...
	She's a...
	I think this was fed to us.
	They are sensational conspiracy.
	I know.
	She runs facial recognition on his head.
	Yeah.
	Do you think they have to do more with the head?
	False news spread.
	Democratic National Committee emails.
	Nice keyboard sound.
	But some supporters of President Trump have been pushing an alternate theory.
	A DNC employee stole it.
	They hacked it.
	She's a botcher.
	She's the one who put on murder.
	Now, when it's not for society, we just get on with things, really.
	Unsolved murder in the nation's capital turned into a conspiracy theory and then became a case.
	Yeah.
	They have to have one with that.
	She's a wrecking around.
	It's insane tonight.
	It doesn't mean anything.
	Don't fall asleep.
	Maybe it's just her whole job to go out there and dance.
	She's a fast-talking dingbat.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Get on with things, really.
	So it's going to stop doing my job.
	It was up.
	Because I've never heard of the office to go out there and dance.
	I'm going to do a fast-talking dingbat.
	You know, it sounds like she's from the Valley.
	I'm throwing the body on the knees at the Fall Next Level.
	Oh, bullshit.
	Oh, please.
	You know, the extra-talking dingbat.
	You know, it sounds like she's from the Valley.
	You know, it sounds like she's in the valley.
	I'm going to have to.
	It's not for false news spread.
	That's the first fall news spread.
	She's right, isn't it?
	She's right, isn't it?
	I've never heard of this obvious name.
	I've never heard of this office.
	And her head is gone.
	And her head is gone.
	No, no, no, no.
	No, no, no, no.
	No, no, no, no.
	No, no, no, no.
	No, no, no.
	No, no, no.
	No, no, no, no.
	No, no, no.
	That's outrageous.
	No, no, no.
	That's outrageous.
	No, no, no.
	No, no, no.
	That's outrageous.
	That's outrageous.
	No, no, no.
	No, no, no.
	Highly unusual.
	Highly unusual.
	No, no, no.
	Highly unusual.
	No agenda.
	That's outrageous.
	That's outrageous.
	People, no agenda.
	People, no, no.
	No agenda.
	No, no, no.
	No.
	Highly unusual.
	Highly unusual.
	No, no, no.
	That's outrageous.
	No, no, no.
	Another gentler.
	That's outrageous.
	That's outrageous.
	Highly unusual!
	No!
	No, no, no!
	No!
	No, no, no!
	The people know it.
	Adios, mofo.
	That's a Shona money shot!
	Woo, Jesus!
	Woo, Lord!
	Look at that!
	That's a money shot!
	Kenan Conway is a money shot!
