	Russia, Russia, Russia.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Thursday, June 8, 2017.
	This is your award-winning Get My Nation Media Assassination Episode 936.
	This is no agenda.
	Deconstructing nothing burgers for over a decade and broadcasting live from the darkest coins of the internet here in the capital of the drone star state in the Cluedio.
	Good morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	In northern Silicon Valley, here I sit.
	It's raining out.
	I'm John C. Devorak.
	Ah, nothing like your twice-a-week weather report.
	It's always very important for the podcast.
	It's a little late in the season.
	Well, here we are, John.
	It is Thursday, and this is...
	Everyone's going nonstop, commercial-free, uninterrupted.
	ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC. Woo!
	How disappointed they will be.
	Yeah, well, it's pretty well known what he wrote in his memo is all he's going to say.
	Yeah, I listened to a little bit this morning.
	We're referring to former FBI Director James Comey's testimony.
	He released his opening statement yesterday, which even that was, you know, the universes have never been so apparent and separate from each other.
	Now, we both read this opening statement.
	Did you see anything egregious?
	No, it didn't say anything, actually.
	It says he took notes.
	He didn't like Trump.
	Trump kept trying to have meetings with him.
	I don't know.
	Comey doesn't say it, but he could have said that Trump was hitting on him.
	Well, I do have a few thoughts about it, but I wanted to read just some general responses on the face bags.
	If you want...
	Oh, oh.
	Well, what I was going to suggest is that...
	What is this running thing that we've got on here where we actually have what we're saying is coming through as words?
	I have a thing on my screen, which is your little Skype thing.
	You said yeah.
	Whatever I say, it's coming through as voice recognition.
	It's typing it.
	Oh my God, you're right.
	I can see it.
	It says, I have a thing on my screen which is, and whatever it is I say, it's coming through.
	Wow.
	Is this a new Skype feature?
	Oh, I know what's happening.
	It is actually NSA and they've somehow looped it back, those fools.
	I think they made a mistake.
	This is great.
	Do not do anything.
	This is a free transcription service.
	Unfortunately, it's only your side.
	Do you see me coming through?
	Yeah.
	No.
	No.
	I've never seen that.
	And not only that, here's what's interesting about it.
	It's good.
	It's very good.
	My good.
	Well, also, we're good speakers, too.
	We're not like, you can't handle it.
	Okay.
	You can't handle the truth.
	How did that, how did it translate?
	You can handle, whoops, the problem is it scrolls off.
	Oh.
	So what is it?
	Just a little bit.
	Well, truth.
	It says truth?
	I don't know, I'm trying to see.
	No, it says truth.
	Oh, so it actually fixes it.
	I had no idea this was taking place.
	Did anyone in the war room know this was happening with Skype?
	I don't know when it started.
	This is the first show where I've seen this.
	For sure.
	Now, I've got to videotape this because I've never seen this before.
	This must be some kind of...
	Where is it scrolling to?
	It's just scrolling up.
	You've got to expand your window and then you can scroll back.
	I've just got to take a video of this for a second.
	This is crazy.
	So I'm looking at John's Skype, which, interestingly enough, is actually a photo of Hillary Clinton.
	That is his avatar.
	Now, just say something so I can have the scroll here.
	Adjusting one, two, three on the old scroll.
	And coming through on the chat message, there it is.
	Boom.
	That is outrageous.
	Where is it being saved?
	Well, it's just, I don't know, the NSA. I mean, Sky...
	All right.
	All right.
	Well, enough of our amusement with the system.
	I'm very amused by that.
	Now, before we started with the face bag stuff, I thought I might want to play like the background.
	Oh, we can't do anything yet.
	We have to do a jingle.
	Call me.
	Call me.
	Call me all the time.
	Call me.
	Didn't translate that.
	You said who when you said woo.
	Alright.
	I have the CBS did a whole number on this.
	They read from this transcript.
	I think they summarized it pretty good.
	Yeah.
	This was the clip as Comey memoed testimony one.
	Today fired FBI Director James Comey previewed the testimony he will give the Senate Intelligence Committee tomorrow in its investigation of Russian meddling in the U.S. election and whether anyone in the Trump campaign was involved.
	The committee released Comey's opening statement today in which he says the president pressured him to drop the FBI investigation of Mr.
	Trump's former national security advisor.
	Comey says Mr.
	Trump described the FBI's Russia investigation as a cloud and asked Comey what Comey could do to lift it.
	The testimony based on Comey's notes also confirms that the president was not under investigation.
	Chief Congressional Correspondent Nancy Cordes begins our coverage.
	Comey's seven-page opening statement describes his conversations with the president in detail.
	Seven days after the inauguration, Comey says, the president invited me to dinner.
	It turned out to be just the two of us.
	My instincts told me that the one-on-one setting meant that the dinner was, at least in part, an effort to have me ask for my job and create some sort of patronage relationship.
	Sure enough, Comey says, the president said, I need loyalty.
	I expect loyalty.
	I didn't move, speak, or change my facial expression in any way during the awkward silence that followed.
	We simply looked at each other in silence.
	He wanted to have dinner because he wanted to stay on.
	The president has claimed Comey proposed the dinner and denies that he demanded loyalty.
	Did you ask that question?
	No.
	No, I didn't.
	But I don't think it would be a bad question to ask.
	Their next encounter, Comey says, came three weeks later in the Oval Office at the end of a scheduled counterterrorism briefing.
	The president told the group that he wanted to speak to me alone.
	After the others left, the president began by saying, I want to talk about Mike Flynn, the national security advisor who had just been fired for lying to the vice president about his conversations with the Russian ambassador.
	Flynn is under scrutiny by the FBI. Isn't it true that Flynn resigned and wasn't fired?
	I mean, it's semantics.
	But it's changed from he resigned to he was fired.
	They're just kind of crossing the wire.
	That's a good catch.
	I think this is all part of this.
	Yeah, I keep hearing he was fired, but I think he resigned under pressure.
	I have a thing later in the show, or probably during this segment, showing where CBS in particular pulls that stunt all the time.
	Yeah, it's poor journalism.
	An ambassador.
	Flynn is under scrutiny by the FBI. But Kobe says the president told him, I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go.
	He's a good guy.
	I replied only, he is a good guy.
	The White House insists this is not a truthful and accurate portrayal of the conversation.
	But Comey says he found the meeting so concerning that he shared it with the FBI leadership team and decided to implore the Attorney General to prevent any future direct communication between the President and me.
	Yeah, he actually was...
	They go on.
	I've got a part two if you want to play it.
	He makes a big deal.
	I need to read you something real quick.
	He's sick of being talked to by this guy hitting on him.
	When you use Skype's translation features, Skype collects and uses your conversation to help improve Microsoft products and services.
	How about that?
	Well, one of the things that we do know is that Microsoft, when Learnout and Hausby went out of business, and this was discussed during that era, and it hasn't really been discussed.
	Who was Learnout and Hausby?
	Hausby?
	Learnout and Hausby turned out to be a company that was kind of a Ponzi scheme, but they had bought up almost all the voice recognition systems available.
	Oh, wow.
	And they made this juggernaut of voice recognition and then somehow because Microsoft had a piece of the action when they went bankrupt, Microsoft ended up with all these technologies and they sat on them for years.
	I mean, we're talking 10 years here.
	And everybody in the...
	Voice recognition business was always mumbling under their breath that if Microsoft ever decided to get into voice recognition in a serious way, as opposed to kind of the way they have a little microphone at the bottom and you do a voice recognition.
	I mean, there's some aspects of voice recognition in Windows 10.
	But it's always been believed that they could do serious voice recognition, that they'd just blow IBM away if they wanted to.
	And I think that's what we're looking at here.
	Apparently this also does translations, okay?
	So let me try something.
	Uh, It scrolled off.
	It was translating something.
	All right.
	Good try.
	Do it.
	closer attention because I didn't know I was going to scream.
	Okay, all right, let's try this.
	Wat je zegt, Ben jezelf, met je kop door de helft.
	Lekker ding, van me.
	I like you and Bane's elf magic opened older, helped legless grammar.
	Nailed it.
	Okay.
	Onward with Comey 2.
	And yet, a month and a half later, quote, And I can just hear him say...
	There's no hookers!
	...dossier put together by a former British spy.
	Comey says the president asked what we could do to lift the cloud.
	Comey reassured Mr.
	Trump that he was not personally under investigation.
	The president, Comey says, repeatedly told me we need to get that fact out, calling again 12 days later to ask what I had done about his request, adding, because I have been very loyal to you.
	Very loyal.
	We had that thing, you know.
	Yes.
	Comey says, I did not reply or ask him what he meant by that thing.
	Oh, man.
	I wish we had recordings and contemporaneous notes from all of our presidents.
	I'm pretty sure people would be very shocked about things that presidents say.
	I mean, Johnson was well known for sitting there taking a dump and making everyone stand outside the smelly bathroom door.
	Yeah, he was terrible.
	Yeah, horrible people.
	Nixon was well recorded, but this thing kind of got my attention because it was like Comey didn't know how to react to it.
	I'm wondering what Trump was referring to.
	I haven't thought about that.
	Good.
	Because I read this memo and I saw something different.
	I'm sorry.
	First, I just have to play.
	I have to give you a couple responses.
	So these are former colleagues of mine at MTV. And they're posting on Facebag this morning stuff like, Did I miss anything?
	I had to go to the doctor!
	Did I miss anything?
	I mean, people think that this is it.
	This is the explosion.
	It's all going to take place.
	It's going to happen.
	It's going to get impeached.
	And may I ask you, I mean, it's not like a live sporting event.
	Yeah, it is.
	Do they know that you can, I guess it is to them, but do they know that you can actually just go look at this on C-SPAN anytime you want to?
	Probably not.
	No, I would say the majority is just watching, probably CNN. No, or CBS is playing it.
	Yeah, it was.
	NBC, ABC? MSNBC is probably what they're watching.
	So they read the same notes, memo, contemporaneous notes that we read.
	Their response, blatant coercion!
	Ha ha ha!
	I need to share.
	Wow!
	It's really like reading a weird fairy tale.
	Trump thinks he can just be the king in his storybook fantasy.
	It's just bizarre.
	Yeah, crazy town, Nina.
	Also damn surreal.
	Crazier still that Congress won't do its job.
	If he doesn't get impeached after this, I give up!
	To which I posted, please!
	No, I didn't.
	Because if I do that, I'd be kicked out of there.
	I mean, I've already been kicked out of MTV anything.
	And we have an alumni group.
	And heaven forbid you get kicked out of the face bags.
	No, then we'll have nothing.
	But here's how I read this.
	I'm just reading directly from the memo.
	And these two paragraphs are right after each other.
	January 6 briefing.
	I first met then President-elect Trump on Friday, January 6 in a conference room at Trump Tower in New York.
	So he was the elect president.
	He was not in office yet.
	I was there with other intelligence community leaders to brief him on his new national security team on the findings of an IC assessment concerning Russian efforts to interfere in the election.
	At the conclusion of that briefing, I remained alone with the president-elect to brief him on some personally sensitive aspects of the information assembled during the assessment.
	And then we have a couple paragraphs about this intelligence report that has the hookers urinating on the bed or on him or whatever it is.
	Well, it was on the bed, and it was specifically on the bed that Obama and Michelle supposedly slept in.
	Thank you for reminding us of that salacious detail.
	Yes.
	So he goes through that, and then right after that, the next paragraph, it is important to understand that FBI counterintelligence investigations are different than the more commonly known criminal investigative work.
	The Bureau's goal in counterintelligence investigation is to understand the technical and human methods that hostile foreign powers are using to influence the United States or steal our secrets.
	The FBI uses that understanding to disrupt those efforts.
	Sometimes disruption takes the form of alerting a person who is targeted for recruitment or influenced by the foreign power.
	Sometimes it involves hardening a computer system that's being attacked.
	Sometimes it involves turning the recruited person into a double agent or publicly calling out the behavior with sanctions or expulsions of embassy-based intelligence officers.
	On occasion, criminal prosecution is used to disrupt intelligence activities.
	And then if you continue to read, I have a feeling that this started off with Comey going to Trump saying, Oh, look what we have.
	What are we going to do about this?
	I mean, why else does he have to put in his opening statement here what the FBI does?
	They blackmail people is what they do.
	It may be very possible, just two split universes, that Trump was sitting there going, what are you trying to blackmail me, Comey?
	What are you doing?
	I can see that.
	Hey, man, I got this report.
	It's not really confirmed.
	We don't really know anything.
	But, yeah, you know, you're going to be president.
	We don't know the nuance of what happened.
	But I have a feeling Trump might have felt threatened by that.
	Well, the problem, oh, that's interesting.
	I mean, I can't discount it.
	I mean, we don't know any context of any of this stuff, obviously.
	Yeah.
	But to me, it was like, you know...
	All we're doing is analyzing what's placed before us in a very objective manner.
	Yeah.
	So, I, you know, I'm like, well, I don't know, man.
	So, when he refers to that thing, it could be anything.
	It could have been that thing where they had dinner.
	It could have been...
	But this is when Comey was coming in.
	I'm sure he was, you know, big man on campus still.
	And, you know, I know.
	I'm just saying...
	Well, he's definitely the tallest guy around.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	I just had a different vibe about that, that there was something else that was going on.
	From Trump's perspective.
	And, you know, a guy who talks to people in a manner of, you know, I need loyalty, honesty, loyalty.
	You know, that kind of guy could have his, you know, could have the hairs on the back of his neck rise up when the director of the FBI comes in and says, well, we got this thing, man, you into hookers.
	And that comes up, you know, again and again.
	It's possible.
	I mean, it's not completely crazy.
	Unlike what you read from the face bag.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	You think the face bag is crazy?
	Listen to Chris O'Donnell.
	I mean, what's his name?
	Is it Chris O'Donnell?
	Today, June 5th, 2017, just might live in history as the day that President Trump made the decision that destroyed his presidency.
	We're going to show you how that decision was announced today.
	The video you're about to see might be the video that we're showing you years from now, when we're pinpointing the beginning Of the end of the Trump presidency.
	President Trump will not assert executive privilege regarding James Comey's scheduled testimony.
	So the president was bold and politically unwise enough to fire the FBI director who was investigating him, but he is not bold enough to tell that FBI director to shut up?
	Maybe it's because he's not worried about the testimony.
	Oh, what a fool!
	He's not being...
	All the...
	Wow.
	That's actually a...
	That's a big one.
	I'll take it if you want to hand it out.
	I'll give you a borderline because I think this is better to call.
	The reason I say that is because I'm not monitoring that network.
	And...
	That is just delusional.
	Correct.
	And the thing that bothers me about it the most is it makes all sorts of assumptions.
	And the base assumption behind what he just said is that Donald Trump is guilty and should be impeached immediately for crimes against the country.
	Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.
	Because that's what the assumptions are.
	He fired the guy, and he was fired him because he was trying to, you know...
	Obstruct justice.
	Obstruction of justice.
	Obstruct justice, and now he's too stupid to tell him to shut up.
	Well, let's have...
	He makes all sorts of assumptions.
	Let's go to, sadly, I mean, it's Nancy Pelosi, always sad to listen to, even sadder when she's on The View.
	But listen to the same mentality from Joy Behar.
	So, um...
	Let's talk about this Thursday because former FBI Director Comey is about to testify publicly to the Senate Investigation Committee and he's expected to say that basically Trump pressured him to end his investigation into Russia, which sounds like obstruction of justice.
	Is this a serious bombshell and is it grounds for impeachment?
	You knew she'd get to that work, huh?
	She's hopeful.
	Go ahead.
	When that word comes up, I always say to my colleagues in the Congress and my constituents and people across the country, what I said before, anything you do has to be based on data, evidence, facts.
	So you can speculate, but it's got to be the law.
	And the facts.
	And how they match it.
	But Trump already admitted on television that he said this to call me, to please stop the investigation into Michael Flynn.
	He said it.
	What more proof do we need?
	Well, I think the American people need solid evidence.
	That's solid.
	Well, it's an admission of guilt.
	What more do you need?
	That is truly delusional.
	No idea how anything works if you say those things.
	Woke, woke, woke.
	Stay woke!
	That's Pelosi now grabbing the woke meme.
	Unbelievable.
	That's the way it goes.
	You know, these people, the Democrats in this case, and the liberals, that are trying to do, in my theory, this is my basic theory, they're trying to do all this to maintain a heightened sense of he should be impeached, he should be, just to keep this thing, Russia's involved, they're trying to ruin our country.
	They're just trying to maintain this.
	Maintain it.
	Oh, I agree.
	I agree.
	For two years until 2018.
	And then again, they say, well, here's what we have to do to get these to fix things.
	But in the process of maintaining it, they're creating, I think, a sickness.
	Really, and it's going to be a huge problem for them because they're going to make their own people, the people that would be voting for them, not want to come out to vote because they'll give up on the country.
	They'll be taking, I think, the recent situation in Ohio with all the heroin deaths or heroin, whatever it is they're using.
	And we have some overdose stories in today's show.
	I think as a result of this, I think these people are hurting the country.
	There's another problem.
	Where's helping the guy succeed?
	That's what happened when Obama got in.
	He wouldn't have any experience as a president.
	Why are you even asking this?
	It's just dumb.
	There's another problem with this contemporaneous note-turns memo.
	The February 14th Oval Office meeting...
	Let me see.
	The FBI leadership team agreed with me it was important not to infect the investigative team with the president's request.
	And that was the removal of the cloud.
	We also concluded that, given that it was a one-on-one conversation, there was nothing available to corroborate my account.
	And here it comes.
	We concluded it made little sense to report it to Attorney General Sessions, who we expected would likely recuse himself from involvement in Russia-related investigations.
	I'm sorry, it's actually dropped the investigation of Flynn.
	But if you look at the timeline, so that's February 14th.
	February 8th, Sessions was confirmed.
	Then the 14th is this meeting where then, right after, after the contemporaneous notes taken in the FBI vehicle, or on the FBI laptop, Comey and FBI leadership decide, you know, let's not give that to Sessions because he's going to recuse himself.
	The problem is, as far as I know, the first time the Sessions and Kislyak controversy came up was two weeks later, March 1st.
	No one knew about this.
	Well, maybe FBI knows everything.
	But it was not public knowledge that the controversy hadn't even started yet.
	Well, again, it's about Flynn and perhaps he thought that just because Sessions just got in the job and he was just appointed by Trump that he would recuse himself for that reason.
	Well, but then he already knew there were Russia-related issues with Sessions, which didn't break until two weeks later.
	Okay.
	There's just some missing bits and bobs here.
	It doesn't really matter because he's not going to say anything that's going to make a damn difference.
	No, he's going to say what's in the memo.
	He's going to repeat it over and over.
	He'll be cute.
	He'll be funny.
	He'll be nice.
	He's not going to be that funny.
	I heard him making some jokes already.
	Oh, I had to break a date with my wife to have dinner with the president.
	But, you know, that's a pretty good excuse.
	He's not going to say much of anything.
	He's going to be screamed at by the Democrats who are going to make a big scene at the hearing.
	We've seen all these hearings.
	We've been watching hearings for 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 years, almost 10.
	And you know what happened.
	Kamala Harris, by the way, is the latest phony that goes up there and makes a big scene when she asks questions.
	Never really asking any questions, just making kind of mini-speeches.
	Right.
	And he's not going to say anything about anything that's not in that memo.
	And he's going to defer to Mueller.
	He's going to say, well, you know, there's certain things we can't do because Mueller's doing this investigation.
	We can't tarnish that.
	And so they're going to get nothing out of this.
	And then all these people like Joy Behar and everybody else or Lawrence O'Donnell are all going to be very disappointed.
	They're going to start attacking Comey.
	I was just going to say, since we really don't know at this point exactly what's going to happen, I think more interesting is what will the response be when the inevitable is they just really don't have anything.
	Or what do they say?
	No there there?
	No there there.
	No there there.
	Hey, check this out.
	Jeopardy question.
	Ready?
	Talk of the Town 800.
	She wrote of Oakland, California, there is no there there.
	That would be Gertrude Stein.
	See, I would have won Jeopardy.
	Why?
	Because I knew the answer to that question.
	There's no there there.
	No one else knows this.
	Only you know this stuff.
	No, no.
	Everyone in the San Francisco Bay Area, especially those people who live in San Francisco, all know this.
	I can assure you.
	They all hate Oakland.
	And they love pulling that quote out.
	Oh, man.
	Yeah, so I really, I don't have much else because, you know, other than...
	I got a couple of things.
	Comey is being sued, by the way.
	By whom?
	Let's see.
	Former U.S. intelligence contractor and other current and ex-government officials alleging the Bureau has covered up evidence provided to agents showing widespread illegal spying on Americans.
	This is kind of being snowed under, this lawsuit.
	I want to know more.
	Filed late Monday night, was assigned to the same federal judge who has already ruled that some of the National Security Agency's collection of data on Americans violates the U.S. Constitution's Fourth Amendment, etc., etc.
	This is from the new outfit Circa.
	You know, that's all of a sudden they're the...
	Did we already talk about them?
	They're part of the TV network, the Republican thing, the right wing.
	In passing, we have not really talked about them.
	Oh, they're good.
	Whatever they're doing, they're getting their message out for sure.
	Very interesting outfit, this Circa news.
	We have to keep an eye on them.
	Well, we have a couple.
	The thing at CBS did, Scott Pelley's back.
	What?
	Yeah.
	All the rumors and everything.
	I thought he was out for good, but no, he's back.
	And, of course, the news, he is the guy.
	I didn't realize how powerful he was.
	The whole temperament, the entire tenor, everything about CBS News when he's back is outrageously anti-Trump.
	Mm-hmm.
	To the point where it is...
	So he's the guy.
	He's the man.
	He's the go-to guy for being the...
	He's the hit man.
	So he comes in there and everything turns sour.
	And I've got an example.
	In this particular report that you played the clips from, it continues on with your buddy Jeff Pegues.
	The guy sounds like he's just about to take a dump.
	That is my buddy.
	Hey, I've got to tell you something really important!
	So it goes on to talking about Russia, and as though it's all part of the same thing, there's lots of innuendo, but this is the thing, this is the CBS last hit job on Russia investigation, one, and then there's a thing that happens in here that just really, really, really got my goat.
	...gays who's been following the Russia investigation from the start.
	By Donald John Trump.
	Two days after President Trump was sworn in, he publicly thanked the FBI director for helping secure the inauguration.
	But Comey Associates say felt uneasy, concerned the handshake could compromise the independence of the FBI. At the time, the Bureau was nearly...
	Was that it?
	Because I take an issue with that.
	That was one of them, but that's not the one I'm going to...
	The handshake.
	Oh, don't shake his hand because it ruins the independence.
	At the time, the bureau was nearly six months into a counterintelligence investigation of Russian meddling in the election, and the evidence was mounting.
	On March 20th at a congressional hearing, Comey confirmed the probe.
	That includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government, And whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts.
	Among those under scrutiny, Fire National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, former campaign advisor Carter Page, and the president's son-in-law Jared Kushner.
	The entire thing has been a witch hunt.
	The president has consistently dismissed the Russia investigation, but just as Comey alleges Mr.
	Trump pressured him over the investigation, sources also say he made similar requests of the director of national intelligence, Dan Coats, and the director of the NSA, Michael Rogers.
	I don't believe it's appropriate for me to address that in a public session.
	They got your goat.
	Now, if you back that up a little bit, actually it plays again in the second half of the clip.
	Back that up about, I don't know, 15 seconds, so you hear what his assertion is, followed by...
	It starts with sources.
	Yes, the illustrious sources.
	We dismissed the Russia investigation, but just as Comey alleges Mr.
	Trump pressured him over the investigation, sources also say he made similar requests of the Director of National Intelligence, Dan Coats, and the Director of the NSA, Michael Rogers.
	I don't believe it's appropriate for me to address that in a public session.
	That was very tricky editing, because that's not exactly how it went down.
	That's not exactly, it's not how it went down at all.
	He says that they pressured him, they pressured Coates, which was the guy who talked.
	They said the exact opposite, didn't they?
	Well, no.
	Yes, they did.
	In fact, in the next clip, he will say the opposite, but they just let that slide because he's obviously, it's the guy who was the NSA guy who said the exact opposite.
	But they let that slide because obviously the NSA guy's a liar, but their sources have got something going on.
	Now, he says the sources said that these guys were also pressured by Trump.
	And then they cut to Coates at the end of the clip you just played.
	And Coates says, I don't think it's appropriate to say what we talked about when I talked with the president.
	It's not what we do.
	And...
	They made it sound as though it had something to do with what the assertion was that the sources said.
	But in fact, that was a question about conversations, just general conversations with Trump that was asked by one of the Democrats on the panel.
	It was taken completely out of context.
	Sources also say he made similar requests of the Director of National Intelligence, Dan Coats, and the Director of the NSA, Michael Rogers.
	I don't believe it's appropriate for me to address that in a public session.
	Today, neither would answer questions about their interactions with the President, but they denied any outside influence.
	To the best of my recollection, I have never been directed to do anything I believe to be illegal, immoral, unethical, or inappropriate.
	On May 9th, the president abruptly fired Comey, who was in the FBI's Los Angeles office at the time, and learned about it on television.
	The White House initially said Comey was fired for his handling of the Clinton email investigation, but later the president made clear it was about Russia.
	In fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said, you know...
	This Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story.
	Shortly after, the president tweeted a threat.
	Hold on a second.
	That is not a correct attribution either.
	Let me just hear it again.
	He goes on and says, well, Trump said it was about the Hillary things, but he made it clear.
	And he doesn't make it clear at all.
	He's just rambling about something like he normally does.
	And the other clip earlier in this little sequence where the guy, the head of the NSA goes, I wouldn't, I'd know.
	He flat out denied it, but they just glossed it right over and kept going.
	Email investigation, but later the president made clear it was about Russia.
	In fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said, you know...
	This Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story.
	Shortly after, the president tweeted a threat.
	James Comey better hope that there are no tapes of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press.
	Before we started the show, I heard...
	Out of context, by the way.
	Yes.
	Again.
	I heard Comey say, I hope the president has tapes.
	I'm in, he says.
	I'm all in.
	Release him.
	Because he knows there's nothing bad on there.
	If there's a tape.
	And of course it's recorded by some agency somewhere.
	Yeah.
	But this report, this is one of the worst egregious CBS reports with just slopping a bunch of different factoids together to develop a narrative that's not true for the purposes of exciting their audience and I just think, and it's very apparent when Scott Pelley's around that this goes on to an extreme.
	When the other guys are there hosting the show, and when you're the anchor, supposedly, of these news shows on these networks, you're the editor-in-chief.
	You're not just a meat puppet reading a copy that somebody else writes.
	You are in charge of the direction of the show.
	And it's obvious to me that Pelley...
	Maybe I'm almost thinking now that CBS wanted to move Pelley out of there and bring in some other guys.
	And then some agency, perhaps, that begins with a C? No, no, no, no, no.
	This guy is back in...
	You're right.
	There's got to be some inside dirt on that.
	Well, we'll see.
	I don't even have to look at the testimony to know things are going well for the president.
	Because the Dow was up 80 points, so I'm sure...
	That's how you gauge it.
	That's how you gauge it.
	In this day and age, yes, the Dow goes up.
	Things are good.
	We're all good.
	I think if you started monitoring Facebook, it probably gets better material than the Dow.
	It's a lot funnier, that's for sure.
	I just love the people who are just freaking out.
	Well, I don't.
	I find it incredibly sad, really.
	Incredibly sad.
	Geez.
	Want to do a quick scan?
	Yes, please.
	Then we can be kind of done with it.
	Let me see.
	Angus King and Comey both quote Henry II from 1170.
	Who will rid me of this troublesome priest?
	Do you think the current president could quote Henry II? Do you think the current president could even quote Henry Winkler?
	No.
	That's pretty good, actually.
	Let me see.
	Did anyone just watch...
	I'm just reading straight from my feed.
	Did anyone just watch the questioning from Senator John McCain?
	Did that make sense to anyone?
	My mouth dropped open.
	I'm still shaking my head trying to make sense of anything he just said.
	Confused and addled.
	Very disturbing.
	Let's see.
	What else do we have?
	This is great.
	Let me see.
	There's the professor.
	Is he saying anything?
	No.
	He's talking about sexual behavior flies.
	Okay, that's great.
	I'm surprised the Republicans didn't go after Comey about him having a friend leak a story to the press.
	Sounds like a major strike against him, although it wouldn't affect the outcome.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Oh, this is my favorite.
	This is what the GOP exemplifies.
	Ideology is more important than honesty, integrity, and country.
	If the Russians and pussy-grabbing liars can deliver the goods, then country be damned.
	This is evil.
	They believe their social and political ideologies is worth any cost, even a pact with the devil.
	They claim the moral high ground while selling these United States to dictators and creating fodder for terrorists.
	They are scum!
	That's a 66-year-old woman right there.
	She is, and she would probably never defend the country in a million years.
	Most of these people are anti-American.
	She's from California.
	She's from Community Theater, California.
	I'm not kidding.
	Well, there you have it.
	Move to Austin to get away from the...
	Well, I mean, there's a lot of...
	Austin's just as bad.
	That's what I'm saying.
	She's in Austin.
	Oh, she's in Austin.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, she's from California and moved to Austin.
	This is what we've been infected with here.
	Yeah, well, hey.
	It's funny.
	We're already infected with that.
	And I see here is someone I know in Amsterdam.
	She's holding up an American flag coffee mug in one hand, a Stalignaya bottle of Russian vodka in her other hand, and Comey on the TV in the background watching Comey in Amsterdam serving the appropriate beverage cloaked in the appropriate vessel.
	You people are scum.
	These are the scum.
	These are the idiots.
	Please don't unfriend me.
	He would ruin my life.
	Anyway, so let's talk about this leaker for a second.
	Yes, and I do have the background on her, also on CBS. Gee, surprise, surprise.
	And it would, yeah, that was actually probably written.
	This leaker thing is a very sketchy event.
	No shit.
	John, hold on a second.
	First of all, let's just talk about the document itself, which includes a slide showing with beautiful circles and squares and arrows how information was passed from the DRU, and then they did a spear-fishing expedition, and then they flipped it backwards and threw that arrow, and then, oh, wait a minute, let's double around the loop!
	Yes, and there it is in WikiLeaks.
	It was a total no proof, no evidence, just a story.
	Can I ask you just a simple question because it's been baffling me.
	The documents sent to The Intercept, which were supposedly stolen and printed out.
	Which is something you have warned us about on this very show for a decade.
	Yes, I have, but the irony of that is that when you start looking into it, they actually took a photo of the documents, which would not reveal those dots.
	So that's bullcrap.
	What they said is they said it was a really high-quality scan, which I think is a cover-up for exactly what you're saying, that that probably wouldn't work.
	Anyway, all this...
	Everything I saw that came out of The Intercept appeared to show redacted documents.
	Yes, because the way they do it at The Intercept, the same way it went with Snowden initially, and this is why we were always laughing about it.
	It's like, you get the documents in, they call up their buddies there at whatever agency and say, hey...
	What do you think of this?
	Anything we need to take out?
	Anything you don't like?
	And then they say, okay, we don't like that.
	You can just take those names off.
	Okay, good to go.
	You can go ahead and you can go publish it.
	No problem.
	What they then subsequently did, they really, you know, their source, you know, oh, we always protect our sources.
	They kind of did not protect their source.
	At all, at all, at all.
	At all.
	No, they even said where she lived.
	And then here's the...
	I mean, so when I saw this, when I saw the document, that's really what it was about.
	When I saw the document, this is bullcrap.
	This is dropped to show that there's two Russians that were, you know, wiretapped, whatever.
	They just pulled the digital recording, like they'll do from the Skype thing one day.
	And that's how they got the names.
	The names were redacted.
	They just wanted to get that out and just, you know, and then this...
	When you get this woman whose name is Reality Winner, I mean, are you just going to throw it in my face and stomp on it?
	I'm not an idiot.
	I'm not.
	It's like naming your kid Theodore or something.
	It's crazy.
	Theodorable.
	T-Dog.
	When you try to find any of her tweets, she's either somebody who erases her old tweets.
	Oh, the tweets that I've seen, if they're real.
	There's also direction, there's a lot of misdirection because her real Twitter name is Sarah.
	Yes.
	So you go find the old Sarah feed, Sarah Winner, which is a real name.
	I think the rest of this is nonsense.
	This is the sketchiest, and every picture of her is exactly the same.
	She's got this, look, she's got that sorority reject kind of, you know.
	She's 25, John.
	She's 25.
	I got shirts older than this girl.
	And she has a top secret security clearance and can walk around and can be tweeting how much she hates the president.
	I mean, it's a mess.
	How many people have security clears?
	Like three million?
	Yeah, there's a lot.
	But anyway, she's going around supposedly doing hate tweets.
	And this thing just stinks.
	And it doesn't do The Intercept any good to let her get, however this came down, maybe it was a complete setup in every way, to let her get busted like this.
	What kind of operation?
	No one's going to give them documents.
	No way.
	Here I have five facts we need to know.
	Hold on.
	Five facts about Reality Winner.
	This is always good.
	I think this is from Heavy.com.
	So let's see.
	Fact number one.
	She served in the Air Force and received a military commendation last year.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	What is fact number two?
	Search warrant said the FBI was tipped off by her email exchange with a podcast.
	This was probably my favorite.
	Busted by a podcast.
	That's sad.
	Yeah, it doesn't say.
	According to a search warrant obtained by Hevy, a special agent with FBI received information.
	Winner was possessed and willfully sent classified information that was believed to result in damage to national security.
	The agency received the tip from the news outlet that received the document on May 30th, that's Intercept, saying it may have received classified information.
	The court document said the reporting was dated by the NSA as May 5th.
	After launching an investigation, they found that Winner was one of six people who had access to the document in question on her computer since it was published internally.
	When investigating those six people, authorities found out that Winner had email contact with the news outlet on March 30th and then again March 31st from her personal Gmail account.
	So smart.
	In that email, Winner asked for transcripts of a specific podcast and a second email confirmed that she had subscribed to the podcast.
	The No Agenda show is a...
	I'll bet you it was the Intercept podcast.
	It probably was.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	But nice.
	And, you know, it only took us 15 years with podcasts now responsible for taking down a president.
	Congratulations.
	Very good.
	I know.
	I'm so proud.
	Well, a few things there.
	For someone who's working in security at all, to be using a Gmail account to do any of this is one giveaway because it seems to me what you want.
	There's plenty of ways.
	I mean, I'm not, there's plenty of ways around it.
	There's public libraries, there's, you know, anonymous accounts that you can create on more than just Gmail.
	I mean, why use the obvious?
	We know that they're very closely connected to the CIA, probably the NSA too.
	I mean, duh.
	Let's put it this way.
	If this type of person has this kind of clearance and is conducting this type of business and acting in this manner, we have a very serious problem in our system.
	We've had guys that had some clue that they went on for years as spies, and they've been given, you know, usually with the Russians, selling stuff to the Russians, a number of stories about these characters.
	And they, you know, the CIA could never catch them.
	They took the lie detector test and went on and on with dead drops and all the rest.
	And now if it's going to be...
	These people are so...
	They're sick.
	No, John, they're sick.
	No, they're sick.
	They have been made sick.
	She totally...
	I think...
	However this happened to her, it probably wasn't hard to coerce her or to push her, nudge her along, because this is exactly the type of person that has this anger and this severe disappointment and really just hatred.
	Hatred.
	Hilbots, yeah.
	Forget Hilbots.
	It's hatred.
	They've been turned into hating flesh.
	It's very disappointing.
	And it's very destructive.
	And yeah, you can't have this going on.
	Very destructive.
	Well, that's why we're here.
	It doesn't bode well for the country.
	And these people, for the sole purpose of getting more Democrats elected in 2018, for the sole purpose of that, they are encouraging this.
	By the way, do you think that Anderson Pooper picture of hers is real?
	From a reality winner?
	No.
	I don't think so either.
	I think that's a total scam.
	I liked it, though.
	I like the picture.
	The fact that Anderson Pooper took a picture like that of himself at all, staring off into the distance.
	But that picture's real.
	The picture's real, but I don't know if it was actually in her office.
	And why doesn't he address it?
	I've been waiting for him to say something.
	I don't know.
	Because we know he was CIA. We know he worked there.
	It's not a secret.
	No, it's not a secret at all.
	It's a known fact.
	It's in his bio.
	And on the picture, if it's not photoshopped, I don't know.
	Reality, thank you for your service.
	Love, Anderson.
	And he's standing there like Red Adair, looking at the fire in the distance.
	Anderson will take care of it.
	Great picture.
	If you haven't seen this picture, it was in the last newsletter.
	Yeah, it's fantastic.
	And you should unsubscribe to the newsletter because there's a lot of sales pitches going on because we ask for contributions to support the show, which is one of the reasons the newsletter is done.
	But the newsletter has got a lot of good stuff in it.
	Yeah.
	I always get irked when people just, eh, they unsubscribe and then they, eh.
	Well, some real work goes into it.
	There's three, four people involved in every newsletter, mainly you, writing it.
	Then you send it out and we all send back comments and try and catch stuff and suggestions and then you're picking.
	I mean, it's a real job.
	It takes you a couple hours, I'm sure, to do a newsletter.
	It takes about three hours to do that newsletter.
	But I'm collecting stuff for it, so it probably adds another hour or two.
	During the week, I'll see, oh, this has got to go in the newsletter.
	Or people will say, oh, you should put this in the newsletter.
	It's usually photos or some sort of something funny.
	I try to keep it light.
	Anyway, so I presume if there's anything interesting that The War Room or NoAgendaSocial.com will let us know.
	But I'm not expecting anything earth-shattering at all.
	There's something very pathetic about Reality Winner.
	If that is indeed her real name.
	We've seen no documentation.
	Because it used to be Sarah.
	Where did that name go?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	Alright.
	So we do have the one thing going on.
	Just a little side here.
	We have the cutter action.
	But Have you noticed that Al Gore has been floating around a lot?
	Do you want to get into it?
	I mean, we can totally...
	I got a lot of Agenda 2030 stuff, including Al Gore.
	Now, you have a clip?
	Yeah, I do have an Al Gore clip.
	Why don't you play this Al Gore clip?
	Okay, hold on.
	Our air!
	Our water!
	Our earth!
	The very soil itself!
	Our food!
	Our bodies!
	Poisoned!
	Poisoned!
	What?
	That's not Al Gore.
	Okay, you got me.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I got that clip mixed up with the thing in the new Twin Peaks show.
	All right.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	I have...
	Let's do a little Agenda 2030 global climate change.
	First, we'll do all the crazy, and then we'll do something kind of half-intelligent.
	What I liked a lot about the Trump-Paris pullout...
	Was France's president, Macron.
	His response was very interesting.
	And he's very wrong about what he's saying, because he needs to check out some of the regulations and the rules.
	But he pretty much invited every disillusioned American, certainly if you're in the climate global warming research field, to come to France.
	I understand.
	Well, listen.
	Tonight...
	I wish to tell the United States, France believes in you.
	The world believes in you.
	I know that you are a great nation.
	I know your history, our common history.
	To all scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs...
	I love engineers.
	Engineers.
	Entrepreneurs.
	Entrepreneurs.
	To all scientists.
	Engineers.
	Entrepreneurs.
	It's just funny.
	Engineers.
	I'm going to say that.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	I'm a social engineer.
	Scientists.
	Engineers.
	Entrepreneurs.
	Responsible citizens who were disappointed by the decision of the President of the United States.
	I want to say that...
	They will find in France the second homeland.
	I call them.
	Come.
	A second homeland, John.
	France can be our second homeland.
	Can we get a...
	Does that mean we get a passport, a French passport?
	No.
	Here's the thing...
	What?
	Here's the thing...
	False promises, boo!
	Let me tell you something.
	You can't just immigrate.
	To the EU? France has no control over that.
	There's EU regulations, Mr.
	President.
	You don't determine who can come in anymore.
	You can't just invite anybody.
	That's not how it works anymore.
	Go read the regulations.
	You want a work permit?
	Really?
	I can't get a work permit.
	The only way I could stay in the EU legally is because my daughter has dual nationality.
	But I still would have to go through a whole rigmarole.
	You cannot do this.
	So, liar, liar, pants on fire.
	Yeah.
	With us.
	To work together on concrete solutions for our climate, our environment.
	I can assure you, France will not give up the fight.
	Yes!
	Vive le climat!
	He will not do it.
	Vive la temperatura!
	Okay, so we're all invited to go party in France.
	Al Gore, as you mentioned, is out and about.
	And, man, he is just doing the same thing.
	Well, we lost a lot of time when the U.S. did not join the rest of the world community then.
	And while it is true that we have this sustainability revolution underway, and it's very exciting, it has the magnitude of the industrial revolution but the speed of the digital revolution.
	But we're still not changing fast enough because it's not just the scientific community warning us now, it's Mother Nature.
	Every night on the TV news is like a nature hike through the Book of Revelation.
	Seventy percent of Florida is in drought right now.
	Fish!
	Wait a minute, wait a minute.
	Are we in drought or do we have fish on the street?
	Which one is it, Alan?
	70% of Florida is in drought right now.
	Missouri just declared an emergency with another one of these historic climate-related downpours.
	We've had 11 once-in-a-thousand-year downpours in less than 10 years.
	11 once-in-a-thousand-year downpours.
	You can hear this one coming back at you.
	Downpours in less than 10 years in the United States.
	So we have to move faster.
	You know, right now as we speak, this drought in Florida, according to Horowitz, who's been posting on Twitter, they're being flooded.
	Not from ocean rising either.
	Yeah, they expect it to rain until the end of next week.
	It's insane.
	Well, here's Chris Wallace from the Fox News calling out Al Gore on his failed predictions After your movie, An Inconvenient Truth, came out in 2006, you made the following comments as part of your publicity for the movie.
	You said, unless we took, quote, drastic measures, the world would reach a point of no return within 10 years, and you called it a true planetary emergency.
	We're 11 years later.
	Weren't you wrong?
	Well, we have seen a decline in emissions on a global basis.
	For the first time, they've stabilized and started to decline.
	So some of the responses of the last 10 years have helped.
	But unfortunately and regrettably, a lot of serious damage has been done.
	Greenland, for example, is losing one cubic kilometer of ice every single day.
	I went down to Miami and saw fish from the ocean.
	Fish!
	Hashtag fish!
	The fish were swimming in the street at high tide.
	How can they have homeless in Miami when you can eat so cheaply?
	Someone sent me a pretty good article about the fish.
	Yeah, I mean, this is a hashtag.
	Miami fish.
	Miami fish.
	Yeah.
	This is from producer Aaron.
	Listen to your Sunday show, just listening to the mayor of Miami.
	The reason Miami and every other town in America is having flood problems is because they have not controlled their rainwater runoff.
	Over the last 50 plus years, these towns have failed to take into account all of the hard surfaces, parking lots, buildings, etc., that no longer allows rain to naturally be absorbed into soils, and instead has rerouted all of it to the waterways, and then they restricted the flow of these waterways with bridges that didn't account for the extra water.
	That is why, and I have these documents in the show notes, FEMA is redoing their flood maps, and insurance companies are now forcing homeowners to have flood insurance on properties that have never been flooded before.
	I mean, I'm not an engineer, but it's arguable that that is what is happening.
	But okay, we have fish swimming in the streets.
	Thank you, Al.
	An example is losing one cubic kilometer of ice every single day.
	I went down to Miami and saw fish from the ocean swimming in the streets on a sunny day.
	On a sunny day is my favorite part.
	It was a sunny day and there was fish!
	And I said, hey fish, how you doing fish?
	The same thing was true in Honolulu just two days ago, just from high tides because of the sea level rise now.
	John, check out the window for me.
	How's it doing there in California?
	It's actually really low.
	There's so much mudflats I can almost see to the Costco.
	We are going to suffer some of these consequences, but we can limit and avoid the most catastrophic consequences if we accelerate the pace of change that's now beginning.
	Okay, so Al is still on the same track.
	Doesn't really answer the question other than, hey, I guess we're doing a pretty good job, but it's still, we're all going to die, book of revelations.
	Now, this is the next clip.
	We've played the original long video from this guy.
	He's cropped up again.
	I'm very happy, but a lot of people are new to this show.
	So there's a new piece of video that I want to play.
	This is John Coleman.
	I don't know why Coleman's out and about the way he is.
	Well, why not?
	He did a definitive piece some time ago that I guess has been kind of Over the years, I think things decay on YouTube and they go, you can't find them or something?
	I don't know.
	It's pretty easy to find.
	But he was on with Brian Seltzer from CNN. That's the media guy.
	Yeah.
	Unfortunately, I don't have this, but in the intro, he's like, oh, climate denier, etc.
	And then he brings on co-founder.
	He had all this fake news, wrong information about Coleman.
	And Coleman calls him out on it and just lays down some facts.
	I resent you calling me a denier.
	That is a word meant to put me down.
	I'm a skeptic about climate change, and I want to make it darn clear Mr.
	Kenney's not a scientist.
	I am.
	He's the CEO of the Weather Channel now.
	I was the founder of the Weather Channel, not the co-founder.
	And I'm glad you did, because I am addicted to the Weather Channel.
	I watch a lot of cable news.
	He's not talking now.
	Hold on just a minute.
	I'm not done.
	Wow.
	I love the wind.
	Shut up!
	I'm not talking now.
	Hold on just a minute.
	I'm not done.
	That's apparently how you do it.
	Hold on.
	Hold on a minute.
	I'm talking.
	You've got to talk to people like children today.
	It's insane.
	Hold on just a minute.
	I'm not done.
	And CNN has taken a very strong position on global warming that is a consensus.
	Well, there is no consensus in science.
	Science isn't a vote.
	Science is about facts.
	And if you get down to the hard cold facts There's no question about it.
	Climate change is not happening.
	There is no significant man-made global warming now.
	There hasn't been any in the past, and there's no reason to expect any in the future.
	There's a whole lot of baloney, and yes, it has become a big political point of the Democratic Party and part of their platform, and I regret it's become political instead of scientific, but the science is on my side.
	I don't think we're going to come to the conclusion about the topic right here.
	I know we're not, because you wouldn't allow it to happen on CNN. But I'm happy that I got on the air and got a chance to talk to your viewers.
	Hello, everybody.
	There is no global warming.
	What I do wonder is when you see the government, when you see NASA, when you see other institutions...
	That's actually pretty funny.
	Like, last time he'll ever be on CNN in his life, he will be six feet under.
	There is no global warming.
	You should have had a bowl of water.
	What I do wonder is when you see the government, when you see NASA, when you see other institutions say that 97% of climate scientists agree, do you think they're making it up?
	What I don't understand is...
	Now he has a very different take on this 97% bogative number that we've deconstructed many times down to where it actually came from.
	I like his explanation better.
	It's easier for people to understand.
	Well, that's a manipulated figure, and let me explain it to you.
	The government puts out about $2.5 billion directly for climate research every year.
	Let that sink in.
	We've discussed this before, $2.5 billion every year for climate research.
	directly for climate research every year.
	It only gives that money to scientists who will produce scientific results that support the global warming hypothesis of the Democrat Party of position.
	So, they don't have any choice.
	If you're going to get the money, you've got to support their position.
	Therefore, 97% of the scientific reports published support global warming.
	Why?
	Because those are the ones the government pays for and that's where the money is.
	It's real simple.
	But that doesn't mean it's right.
	That doesn't make it true.
	That only makes it bought and paid for.
	The money goes in circles.
	Yep.
	There you go.
	And there you have it.
	But the best...
	Well, I have two best clips, really.
	The funniest one was your governor.
	I have the governor clip.
	Well, I have it queued up, so shall I just play it?
	You play yours.
	If it's different, I'll play mine.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Where's yours?
	It just says Jerry Brown.
	Jerry Brown.
	Alright, let's listen to Jerry Brown.
	When President Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accord last week, California Governor Jerry Brown saw an opportunity to go green in China.
	Ben Tracy reports from Beijing.
	This is serious stuff.
	This is not a game.
	This is not appealing to your political base.
	This is dealing with the existential threats to humanity.
	California Governor Jerry Brown may now have more in common with the Chinese government than he does with United States government.
	In a setting normally reserved for visiting heads of state, he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
	Who is now viewed as the world's leader on climate change.
	China is the world's biggest polluter.
	Do you trust them to lead the world on this issue?
	Well, they're taking the climate threat serious, so I say all to the good, and California will collaborate, and I just hope that Washington comes on board sooner rather than later.
	Yeah, I have a very different clip.
	That is the whole story, and I guess what they're doing is they're sharing engineers and knowledge.
	Is there any actual money taking place?
	Except for a lot of cool trips.
	Yes, there will be some money taking place because it appears as if future wind power and some of the other stuff we'd get and solar panels will all be bought from China.
	Well, here's the good government.
	And by the way, this whole thing is like pollution.
	China has actual honest-to-God pollution, soot pollution.
	They have the real pollution that kills people.
	They don't have CO2 emissions.
	They have that too, obviously.
	But they're the worst in the world, and here we are.
	Oh, well, they're leading.
	They're the leaders.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Democrats like money from the Chinese.
	Just ask the Clintons and Obama.
	This was, I think, a much funnier clip from Jerry Brown, saying the same thing, just in a much better way.
	You've always, obviously, opposed what happened today.
	Your reaction, though, what is your immediate gut reaction to this?
	Well, the immediate reaction is, this is a crazy decision.
	It's against the facts, it's against science, it's against reality itself.
	We know we have to decarbonize our future.
	If we don't, It's a horror.
	Now, decarbonize our future.
	I had to do that to a pot the other day.
	It's a pain in the ass, by the way, when you have real buildup of carbon, because you can't scrape it off.
	It gets on there.
	It's very difficult.
	But it's not carbon dioxide.
	He's saying we have to decarbonize.
	Yeah, we have to get this stuff off of my pot.
	We know we have to decarbonize our future.
	If we don't, it's a horror.
	People are going to die.
	Habitat will be destroyed.
	Seas will rise.
	Insects will spread in areas they've never been before.
	This is not a game.
	It's not politics to talk to your base.
	It's humanity and whether it makes it.
	Through the 21st century.
	So California will stay the course.
	We're already embarked upon a very aggressive and management program to reduce our own global greenhouse gases.
	And we're going to join with us.
	Our global greenhouse gases.
	To China.
	I'm going to meet with high officials there.
	Oh, road trip!
	We'll have a China-California plan.
	We are going to meet with people representing a billion people, 30% of the world's economy.
	This is our under-two coalition.
	It involves Canada and Mexico, states and provinces in Germany, China and Mexico, all over the place.
	So, yes, what Trump has done, it's wrong.
	It's going to cause damage, but we will take this negative catalyst and we will mobilize the people of our own state of California and we will also join with people throughout the world.
	This is too serious to do anything less than that.
	Okay, here's a question for you.
	And why doesn't the mainstream media, or any media for that matter, bring this up?
	How is this not...
	A violation of the Logan Act.
	How is this not a violation?
	He's doing business.
	He's doing treaties.
	He's doing global warming agreements with China.
	And there's about seven other governors that are going to do the same thing.
	They're going to team up with China, the new leader.
	Here, Section 953, private correspondence with foreign governments.
	Any citizen of the United States, whether he may or may not be with the authority of the United States, directly or indirectly, commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government.
	It's the Logan Act all over again.
	Now, they made a big stink about Flynn.
	It'll come up again today.
	I'm sure it'll come up again today.
	Yeah, it will.
	How come this is a violation of the Logan Act?
	Well, if it's happening, it should be.
	It is happening.
	He's over there.
	He was hanging out.
	The way the CBS report had him, they had the movie of him.
	They're sitting there in this grand hall next to the head of China.
	And it says only great people that are head of state can ever be in this situation.
	And he's pushing California as an independent vehicle.
	This is a violation of the Logan Act.
	Get out while you can, man.
	Get out while you can.
	He repeated this message and it kind of came across the same way on some different stations, but the message was very consistent.
	We know we have to decarbonize our future.
	If we don't, it's a horror.
	People are going to die.
	Habitat will be destroyed.
	Seas will rise.
	Insects will spread in areas they've never been before.
	This is not a game.
	It's not politics to talk to your base.
	It's humanity and whether it makes it through the 21st century.
	That's right, everybody!
	California!
	Wind up the key in my back, Nancy.
	I know it's your gag, but...
	It is my gag.
	Did he say...
	I'd like to hear that he says, or we're not going to make it to, or did he say we're not going to make it through the 21st century?
	Because we're in the 21st century.
	Oh, well, let's just do it again, then.
	With the effects.
	We know we have to decarbonize our future.
	We should dehumanize our future.
	That'd be better, Jerry.
	Just you and the elites.
	Get rid of all the carbon structures.
	You know, those, uh, what are they?
	Grass eaters.
	If we don't, it's a horror.
	Horror!
	People are gonna die.
	Habitat will be destroyed.
	Seas will rise.
	Insects will spread in areas they've never been before.
	This is not a game.
	It's not politics to talk to your base.
	It's humanity and whether it makes it through the 21st century.
	Whether we may not make it through the 21st century.
	I think that's what he said, yeah.
	We're all gonna die.
	This is the fire and brimstone.
	This is floods, pestilence, which is the insects.
	I'm glad you bring this up.
	It's all the religion stuff.
	We have a bunch of heathens out there that buy into this crap.
	I have received several emails as feedback regarding evangelicals and how they view, particularly Nancy Pelosi, because we played her on the last...
	On the last show, with a lot of religious stuff as it relates to this.
	And I believe my commentary on this was that the evangelicals aren't buying a bit of this.
	Okay.
	I have a couple notes.
	Beth.
	Yes, we see through Pelosi and any politician that tries to use Christianity to gain popularity.
	And while I'm on the subject, I meant to email you guys for a while now and mention that I appreciate the fact you two aren't negative towards Christians.
	It means a lot that you don't beat us down or ridicule our faith even though you don't believe as we do.
	Yeah.
	That's true.
	Well, we do ridicule everybody fairly, but I don't think we ridicule on religion.
	Grant says, yes, I see through Pelosi's words.
	It is, however, not a safe assumption that my fellow Christians, note I did not say Republicans, can also see through it.
	I know plenty who can't.
	For your information, the Pope is not an evangelical Christian.
	He's a Catholic.
	Evangelical Christians are of Protestant descent or in protest of Catholicism.
	There's a charismatic movement within the Catholic Church that is very similar, if not identical, to the evangelicals.
	Next is from Michelle.
	I'm listening to show 9035 right now.
	John and yourself were talking very briefly about if the evangelical vote could be swayed by climate change talkers suddenly talking about God and being good stewards to God's creation and the environment.
	My answer is yes, absolutely.
	These people can be swayed.
	My mother-in-law is the kind of person that would fall into this type of category.
	category.
	If the argument makes some type of sense and can be equated to the Bible and God's will, sometimes even a devout believer can be swayed to believe anything, despite what they know as fact, flat earth included.
	In short, not all evangelical voters would see through a sudden narrative shift regarding the climate and adding God to it, as one would hope.
	In fact, many may fall neatly in line.
	Love the show, Michelle, and And then the final one from Jason.
	Nancy Pelosi is a nut bar.
	Evangelicals are not Catholic.
	They are Protestant, the vast majority.
	We went through that.
	In the sphere that is casually called Christendom, there is a huge schism.
	It is divided into the RCC and the Protestants.
	The single most important difference...
	Okay, that's a lot about God.
	As for how this ties into Christianity and climate change, the flood and the covenant.
	This is why you will find very few Christians that are worried to a panic.
	If you believe in the Bible, then there is no doom coming other than the tribulation end times.
	God said he would never again flood the world.
	That was a good one.
	I didn't know this.
	This interpretation I think is probably true.
	Which means the mudflats are here to stay.
	Exactly where they were in 1890.
	One could argue that it is us that are flooding the world, but that puts us in supremacy over God.
	Extremely arrogant to the point of hubris.
	Another thing is that most Christians are in agreement regarding our place on earth as stewards.
	We are here not to simply enjoy things, but to be good stewards of the things we have.
	This means that real pollution is the issue, and not some hopped-up worry about a necessary trace gas.
	And then he just talks about some Freeman Dyson stuff, etc.
	But I think that God promised he would never again flood the world.
	I like that.
	And why is that just an interpretation?
	Did he not say it?
	Well, I don't know that he said that, per se.
	Hmm.
	I mean, it's an interpretation because the way the Bible is written is if you want to read anything from the Bible, you want to go to one of these websites that has like 50 Bibles deconstructed.
	And so you look at the one Bible says this, another Bible says that.
	And the reason I got into this was because I was very interested in the discussion of the phenomenon of tongues.
	Especially during the George Bush administration.
	You mean speaking in tongues?
	Yeah.
	And I've always believed, and I think when you look at the Daniel Webster version of the Bible, which had this, I thought, outlined the best, and if you think the logic of it, Only recently has it become this babbling language.
	Earlier it was, I think, and the Daniel Webster version will back this up, it referred to speaking in a foreign language.
	Oh, okay.
	So it was rude.
	It was considered rude to be like, for example, in a church speaking in tongues, meaning that you would be sitting in church and there'd be somebody next to you speaking in Romanian when it's an English church and everyone's speaking in English and Latin, of course.
	And if you start looking at it from that perspective, all the references to tongues in the Bible makes a lot of sense.
	And it has to do more with, you know, rudeness and how you should...
	And I would also say it means that if you live in the United States, for example, an English-speaking country, you should learn English.
	I think that is backed up by this thesis.
	Meanwhile...
	Not to get off the subject.
	No, no, no.
	John Cook, who is a cognitive scientist at the Center for Climate Change Communications at George Mason University, listen carefully, climate change communication, has done a study, and he's testing a, quote, vaccine.
	It's in quotes, so it's not really a shot.
	A climate change vaccine?
	Yes, against climate change denial.
	Now, here's a story.
	This is at George Mason University in Virginia.
	He recently tested the strength of inoculation messages against the notorious Oregon petition, which uses fake experts to cast doubt on the scientific consensus on climate change.
	In the PLOS One, that's a serious medical journal, Cook and his colleagues reported that when about 100 study participants were presented with the misinformation alone, their views did further polarize along political lines.
	But when another group of participants were first warned about a general strategy used in misinformation campaigns, in this case, they were told that fake experts had often been used by tobacco industry to question the scientific consensus about the effects of tobacco on health, and were shown an ad with the text, 20,679 physicians say luckies are less irritating, as in lucky strikes.
	The polarizing effect of the misinformation was completely neutralized.
	Nobody likes to be misled no matter their politics.
	This is Cook, the scientist.
	He suggests that inoculation messages may serve to put listeners on alert for trickery, making them more likely to scrutinize the information they receive.
	There's a lot of business going on here.
	How about this?
	Sure.
	Some of the theories that the U.S. Army developed about going in there and creating these false documents so you can point at them.
	Sure.
	To prove your point that climate change is going on when in reality, the climate change side is where the phony documents really are.
	In fact, I think that was proven out when we saw ClimateGate, which really punctured the whole climate business when all these emails were exposed showing, oh, we've got to get the right numbers.
	Let's change our numbers.
	Change the p-values.
	There is one guy in the Senate who was preaching.
	Preaching what you like to hear.
	And he nails it.
	You know, your previous guest sounded like, you know, my goodness, the sky is falling.
	Mass extinction?
	Really?
	So I don't think we should be alarmist about this.
	I mean, the planet's 4.5 billion years old.
	We have gone through great extremes of climate change, natural, and now we may have a man-made influence as well.
	But these people, the question I always ask these alarmists is, how much is nature and how much is man?
	They act as if it's a given that man is the only source of climate change.
	Well, my goodness, the great climate changes in our history all happened before the Industrial Revolution.
	So is there climate change?
	Can man have an impact?
	Yes, but let's don't be so alarmist as to say such outrageous things that if we don't sign the Paris Accords, there's going to be mass extension.
	That is a ridiculous statement.
	Well, I don't know if it's a direct cause and effect relationship, but obviously scientists, you can go onto the NASA.gov website right now and see what the effects are of man-made climate change.
	I mean, some of them...
	But if you look at the...
	The Accord, if you look at the Accord, even the Intergovernmental Committee that promotes all of this, even they say it might be 0.2 degrees over 100 years.
	And you also need to make sure your viewers know that most of their modeling has been wrong.
	They readjust their modeling every year because they haven't been very good at predicting things.
	Predicting the future is notoriously difficult, and this is, modeling is not an exact science.
	It is a science that has variability and probability.
	You know, what I'm saying, and this is the big argument that none of you guys get and nobody ever looks at, is how much is nature and how much is man?
	I'm perfectly willing to admit that man can have an influence and that we should minimize our pollution.
	But those who say that it is all man and don't acknowledge that the 4.5 billion-year-old planet has gone through massive climate change based on natural effects.
	The most dramatic ice ages, the dramatic warming and cooling of the planet, all happened before man was even around for the most part.
	And even when man was here, man was only burning fires.
	So we have had dramatic, we've had carbon in the air 600 times what we have now.
	And so it's gone up and down.
	And I'm not saying we should forgive and discount pollution, but we should not be so alarmist that we're willing to give up all the American jobs based on computer modeling that has been notoriously inaccurate over the last 15 years that it's been developed.
	Why did we change the name from global warming to climate change?
	Because there's some uncertainty now, whether it's getting warmer or colder.
	And I can tell you, if you look at the details of the modeling and the projections in the last 15 years, they've been altered almost every year because their modeling doesn't add up.
	All these people saying we're going to have a hundred foot rise in our seas in the next hundred years, that kind of alarmism is not scientific.
	And actually, if you read many of the people who do want to control pollution, they will tell you that that's nonsense.
	There you go.
	There's your climate models.
	Indeed.
	In fact, we harp on this.
	The models.
	These models are bogus.
	I think that Scott Adams cartoon pretty much summarized it.
	Oh, which one was this?
	Floating around.
	I'm going to put it in the newsletter, but Scott's kind of a stickler about people just using his stuff, and so I'm going to get permission.
	Oh, okay.
	I gotcha.
	A lot of artists are that way.
	I don't know if he's as bad as he used to be, but when the internet first cranked up, he used to have...
	He's an engineer, or however you pronounce it.
	He used to scour the net for people using his cartoons.
	And go sue them.
	I swear.
	I don't know if he ever sued anybody, but he definitely got a hold of them.
	I remember talking about that kind of guy.
	Mm-hmm.
	Jim Marshall, the photographer, I collected a number of his pieces when he was poor and he was selling them cheaply.
	But I knew the guy, he died recently.
	And he used to be A tough, kind of a tough Armenian character.
	And he would go around.
	He's the one who took the picture of Jimi Hendrix with the guitar and the cigarette lighter lighting it on fire with the cigarette juice or whatever it is.
	Lighter fluid is what we call it.
	Lighter fluid.
	Cigarette juice, man!
	So that picture is one of his.
	In fact, many very iconic photos are his.
	Okay.
	And if you ever stay at the Hard Rock Cafe and Casino in Las Vegas, all the photos and all the pictures.
	Oh, God, no.
	Oh, God, no.
	And so he used to go, you'd just find out somebody's stealing his stuff, he would just go to their offices and then slam their hand in a door.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	The word got out.
	Oh, that's funny.
	That's funny.
	Well, I think with that, I can thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, John C. He stands for Climate Change Fish in the Streets.
	Dvorak!
	Fish is in the street.
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water.
	And all the Dames and Nights out there.
	Yes, in the morning to everyone in the War Room, everyone at NoAgendaSocial.com, both helping out well this morning.
	But the War Room, of course, is where we get the immediate info from.
	And I'd like to thank all of our artists, first and foremost, who bring us artwork for our program.
	We select one after every show from NoAgendaArtGenerator.com.
	And we would like to thank...
	Was it a comic strip blogger?
	No, it was Nick the Rat.
	Nick the Rat, yes.
	Nice piece.
	This was the waves, the windmills, and the little dude trying to run away from being killed by both.
	It was very good.
	Yeah, we love that.
	Thank you very much, Nick.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com.
	We appreciate what everybody does.
	And, of course, this is our value-for-value proposition, so we are always happy when people support the program in multiple ways, including financial.
	Yes, we want to thank the people who are executive and associate executive producers for the show.
	736, is that what it is?
	It's 936.
	736.
	You just took us back two years.
	936.
	936.
	George Kunath.
	K-U-N-A-T-H is the top of the list with $333.
	And he has, I think, a couple of things going on here.
	ITM, John and Adam.
	First of all, I need a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	We're listening for a year without donating and to call out several douchebags.
	Here we go.
	His brothers, Sean, Steve, and Connor.
	The douche is a little stuck.
	I noticed.
	Apparently Connor skips the donation segments like a true douchebag.
	Then you miss all the good stuff.
	My girlfriend, Jennifer, and her friend, Ashley.
	Does he want to call them out, too?
	Wait, my girlfriend, this is how this is worded.
	I would call out my cousin, George.
	No, I think he's calling them out.
	No, as douchebags.
	Douchebag!
	Who else?
	And Ashley.
	Douchebag!
	Damn, that's a massive douching.
	Then no wonder the thing's wearing out.
	I would call on my cousin George for listening for years and only donating once, but he introduced all of us to the show, so he is like a promotional producer.
	Thanks for keeping me sane at work and providing hours of entertainment, jingle requests, magic shape-shifting Jew, and drone again.
	Please add the long ants song at the end of the show.
	And some karma for all the producers out there, and some F-cancer karma for my mom, who is flipping breast cancer the bird right now.
	Okay, we should do all of that.
	And thank you very much for your support of the program.
	Roll on, roll on for the magical shape-shifting Jews!
	Step right this way!
	Roll on!
	Roll on for the shape-shifting Jews!
	You've got karma.
	There you go.
	A nice sequence, for sure.
	Very nice sequence.
	Onward.
	Adam Barrett in Greenwich, London, which is, I think, where they have...
	Whatever time it is there.
	$33.
	He doesn't have a note.
	I didn't get any email from him, and I assume it's probably lost in the time continuum, space-time continuum from Greenwich.
	Michelle Cartmel in West Bank, British Columbia.
	$240.
	This is kind of a...
	I'll explain it after I read her a note.
	This donation is meant for the show June 4th, the 17th, 935.
	Okay, which you didn't get here in time.
	It's been a while since my last donation.
	We had a lot of life changes.
	As a result, I missed donating the show as a gift to my husband, Ariel, for his birthday last year, which was also his 33rd.
	After reviewing the donation page, I decided to get creative with my donation amount.
	So here's the donation breakdown.
	$33.33 for Ariel's birthday last year.
	Another $33.33 for not donating last year.
	$34.34 is for this year's birthday.
	And $69.69 because it's wink-wink his birthday.
	For a total of $106.
	Now, it's $237.28, but it's really only $100 because she's in Canada?
	Oh, yeah.
	I gave her the full amount.
	Yeah, I agree.
	Thank you.
	Because it's still $250 to her.
	Yeah.
	I believe this should net aerial only a broadcast license, but also still available on a ship boarding pass.
	Top it off with being another good step toward his knighthood.
	It's all great.
	Thanks for keeping us both sane with your breakdowns.
	And always, if possible, can I get a 69 jingle and some karma?
	And then she wishes her husband a happy birthday.
	Can we put him on the list?
	Is he not on the list?
	Well, how could he be?
	Okay, hold on a second.
	I don't know.
	I'm just...
	I didn't send that to Eric.
	Okay, so what am I doing here?
	Just give me the details.
	Adriel.
	I guess it's Adriel.
	A-D-R-I-E-L. Adriel, not Ariel.
	Adriel.
	Yes.
	From Michelle.
	Happy birthday.
	He's...
	I don't see his real age here.
	Okay.
	And what day is it?
	I think...
	Fourth, I'm guessing.
	Can we turn off this Skype translation service?
	Because what happens is it keeps alerting me that it's doing stuff, and it keeps popping up stuff on the screen.
	I don't have that happening to me.
	Yeah, but I don't know how to turn it off.
	I don't know.
	I never saw any of this before.
	I wonder how you turn this stuff off.
	There's got to be a button for it.
	What is that little button?
	This is not...
	Oh, by the way, it said there was a funny one.
	It did something with the...
	I can't remember.
	I should have said it when it happened.
	It was a funny misread.
	All right, well, but it's...
	Okay, I'll just deal with it.
	I'll put a little piece of tape over it where it's bouncing in the dock.
	Oh, see, you've got a Mac, right?
	Yeah.
	It's probably doing something different.
	Yeah.
	All right, onward.
	All right, so she's on the list.
	Yep.
	Um...
	Okay.
	Sir Keith of Vietnam.
	Fayetteville, Arkansas.
	That's right.
	Get used to eating those Vietnamese sandwiches.
	They're delicious.
	$235.73.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	We forgot the whole 69 and Karma thing.
	I'm sorry.
	Oh, yeah, right.
	Sorry.
	Sorry, Michelle.
	69!
	D9, dudes!
	New Thoughts.
	Karma.
	Sir Keith here, this is my belated birthday donation, European style, date 23rd of May.
	Shout out to dude named Ben J Squish, Chad and Jared J Squish.
	Thanks for the bi-weekly mental hygiene treatment.
	Never stop.
	Please play Shut Up at Science and this is a scam.
	I don't know, what is this, this is a scam?
	I'm not familiar with this.
	This is a scam?
	Well, I'll just say it.
	Alright, go for it.
	You have to play the thing first.
	Shut up already!
	Science!
	This is a scam.
	You've got karma.
	Well coordinated, sir.
	Such pros of broadcasting prowess.
	Yeah, that'd be us.
	Alexander Seaboth, S-E-E-B-O-T-H, in Cedarburg, Wisconsin.
	$210.
	See my email to no general.
	There you go.
	Missed that one.
	Let's go back and look at S-E-E-B-O-T-H in the old box.
	You might as well look too, just in case.
	S-E-E-B-O-T-H And boom!
	Donation notice there.
	There you go!
	Dear John and Adam, I came across your show last year when I was driven away from the mainstream media due to the collective insanity in covering the primaries and drumpf.
	Remember that one?
	Yes.
	So funny.
	Oh yeah, hilarious.
	I knew it was time to donate when the 10th anniversary of my 21st birthday June 8th landed on a show day this year.
	I guess we have to put him on the list too.
	Yes, I will add it right now.
	Alexander Seaboth.
	This week also marks six months since I've been done with chemo.
	From that time, my left nut tried to kill me.
	Oh, jeez.
	Yeah, not good.
	So give me and any other producers out there who needed an F Cancer Karma.
	Thanks, Alex.
	Yeah, we don't have an age for him by any chance.
	21st birthday.
	And when was his birthday?
	The 8th today.
	Okay, and he wants an F cancer, no problem.
	You've got karma.
	Special ball karma.
	Ball karma, yeah.
	No bueno, man.
	Sir Media...
	Is it Media Filer?
	I believe so, yes.
	Media Filer.
	In Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
	$201.
	Please de-douche me for having my knighthood, for enjoying my knighthood too much and for getting to contribute since then.
	You've been de-douched.
	You're the best podcast in the universe.
	Spit on you!
	It's a Russian anti-jinx remedy.
	I always thought so.
	And $201 turns out to be 279 Canadian roubles.
	So he actually changed the name to him.
	Nice.
	All right.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you.
	Ashton Banta, $200.33 in Springfield, Missouri.
	Here's a contribution on behalf of my future husband.
	Ah, Bo Brown.
	He's a Canadian on behalf, so he has to go to him then.
	Who turns the big 3-0 on Saturday.
	Is he on the list?
	I don't think so.
	Yes, he is.
	This is the fourth year in a row I've donated $200 for his birthday present, which I consider a decent accomplishment considering I've been a poor social worker the entire time.
	I've managed to pass the LCSW exam last month, so hoping to get a financial boost soon.
	Needless to say, I really enjoy when you touch on mental health issues.
	Bo is a web developer and appreciates your tech talk.
	Thanks for putting in all that hard work to give us the best podcast in the universe.
	It's interesting, two in a row.
	A little random number.
	Can we get a resist we much?
	And just send your cash.
	Resist we can do.
	Yes.
	And just send your cash.
	Oh, I need to learn how to spell resist.
	Yeah, man.
	Damn it.
	I have to tell you that this bouncing icon in the dock is really troubling me.
	Is this because of your Tourette's?
	Yes, it's triggering me.
	It's really triggering me.
	Let's get through the donation.
	We have to stop it.
	It's hard to explain.
	Okay.
	Sorry about that.
	But resist, we must.
	We must and we will much.
	About that be committed.
	We just need cash.
	I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
	Just send your cash.
	You've got karma.
	Christopher, okay, onward.
	That was Ashton.
	Christopher Remmer, R-E-M-E-R, it's parts unknown.
	$200 just sent email while you were looking up the thing.
	I looked up the email.
	Multitasking.
	It's back from the brink.
	Firstly, may I be known as the millennial from the brink for the time being?
	Okay.
	Okay.
	I recently discovered your show through the Congressional Dish Podcast.
	And there you go.
	Log rolling!
	And have been mired in douche-dum for a few months.
	And he's got a different, it's interesting, it's douche-dum-dum.
	Douche-dum, yes.
	For a few months now, I'd like to reciprocate the value for value I receive every day from the show and begin my journey to nighthood.
	You two guided me back from the brink, from the serious propaganda funk that was last year in politics and the M5M, and I've been...
	You have my gratitude.
	May I get an F cancer for another F cancer?
	Wow, it was a cancer day, man.
	This is a random number at its best.
	No, at its worst.
	At its worst.
	Well, geez.
	This is horrible.
	For my grandmother, Joanne, her skin cancer has returned.
	To combat the fake news machine, will you please play the jingle sequence below?
	Jingle sequence one.
	It's better if this is in the spreadsheets because Adam has to now take a pen out.
	Putin.
	That one.
	Shut up, slave.
	Two to the head.
	Yeah.
	And little girl, yay.
	Okay.
	And then F cancer?
	And then finally karma for all the dames and knights.
	But was it an F cancer?
	Well, it's not the F cancer, but, you know, we usually do one karma.
	Why don't you do the, I don't know how you want to deal with this.
	All right.
	Putin, two to the head.
	Little girl, yay.
	No, there was something else.
	Putin, shut up, slave.
	Two to the head.
	Oh, Jesus!
	I have time for this.
	Okay, here we go.
	He says, P.S. John, I plan on making...
	This is, again, a crazy coincidence.
	John, I plan on making a mix of It's a Scam Clips.
	LOL gets me every time.
	It must be just something you say.
	I don't know.
	PPS, I guess I say it a lot.
	PPS, Adam, you're a crackpot.
	A person in touch with the hidden turnings of the world.
	Yes.
	Then he ends it.
	And your point is?
	And he thanks.
	Keep it up, gents.
	Yes, I'm quite aware.
	Thank you.
	Okay, well, there you go.
	There you have it.
	That's it.
	Yeah, that was it.
	Wait, did we?
	Oh, no, that's...
	Oh, you know what?
	I actually had a special karma, night jobs karma request.
	We always break for our nights.
	This is from Simon Leonard.
	Might be a long shot because I don't have a donation lined up for the show tomorrow, but I thought I'd try.
	My co-workers and I love your show.
	Love your show.
	We work at a little locally owned Apple computer repair shop in Victoria, B.C. and listen to your show on Thursdays Live.
	Hello!
	Hello!
	We just got word.
	Isn't that crazy that somewhere, 20 seconds later, in Victoria, someone's hearing, Hello!
	The internet is fabulous.
	We just got word that our store is going out of business and Friday is our last day.
	What?
	Yeah.
	Well, it's Mac.
	Apple computer.
	You know, you can't prepare anything.
	You can upgrade your memory by buying a new one.
	We straddle both dimensions at our store and the No Agenda show always gives us great fodder for conversation around the office.
	If you could give us some Trump Jobs karma for our collective hunt for new work, it'd be insanely appreciated.
	Like I mentioned, I don't have a donation lined up for tomorrow, but I'm on the $4 a show subscription plan and plan to stay on it anyway.
	If you could give Carl, Armin, Lyndon, Warren, and myself some jobs karma, that would really help improve our spirits and our chances of moving on successfully.
	Remember to call Carl out as a douchebag, too, as he has yet to donate, even though he's an avid listener.
	On Sundays as well, I might add.
	Thank you very much.
	Oh, he's hoping to be a knight someday.
	Well, I got kind of hoodwinked there.
	Well, I'd say.
	But, you know, I understand.
	It's a scam.
	Now, where's my Trump thing?
	Jobs.
	No, that's not it.
	We have Trump jobs.
	Trump jobs.
	Here we go.
	Jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Hope it works.
	Alright.
	And onward.
	And that is it.
	Right?
	No, we got two more.
	We got two more.
	Okay.
	Jennifer...
	Oh, brother.
	Chocolate chick.
	Chocolate chick.
	That's what I think it is.
	Chocolate chick.
	You're kidding me.
	I'm not kidding you.
	Calgary, Alberta.
	$200.
	Can I please get a fuck cancer and a karma from my loved one?
	Jeez.
	This is bad today.
	You've got karma.
	And a lot of 200s today.
	It's good.
	It's a good little group.
	And finally, last but not least, Susan Johnson in Newburgh, Oregon.
	$200.
	And she sent a card.
	It says thank you on the card.
	And then she wrote a note in a long hand.
	Very readable.
	Dear John and Adam, thank you for your faithfulness, gentlemen, to the show, to us producers, and to the No Agenda Ideal.
	I no longer mind my commute as I spend the time tuned on to you two being informed and entertained.
	A couple of times you have mentioned the name Seth and not in a positive light.
	I would like to call out Seth, a Seth, as a douche.
	Douchebag!
	He hit my son in the mouth, who then hit me in the mouth, but I've never heard Seth's name as a donor.
	Keep up the good work on the best podcast in the universe, Susan Johnson.
	Alrighty.
	There you go.
	That concludes our little group of associate executive producers and executive producers for show 936.
	And these are credits that can be used anywhere professional media credits are recognized.
	And the suggestion is to use them on your LinkedIn, other business-related profiles on the social medias.
	They apparently help you get the jobs.
	And I think we should do an extra jobs karma because a lot of people seem to need it today.
	And we'll be thanking everyone else who came in at $50 or above later on in the program.
	And remember, we have another show on Sunday.
	Please, please, please support us at dvorak.org slash NA. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	That's right, everybody.
	You've got a couple more days over the weekend to go out there and propagate our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Shut up, slave.
	Shut up, slave.
	I've already fixed the bouncing icon, right?
	We're done.
	You don't have to do anything.
	Okay, great.
	Sorry about that.
	It just really was tripping me out.
	No, shit, it's still doing it.
	Well, you didn't fix it then.
	While you're working on fixing it, I do want to mention something.
	We had a discussion about two months ago about these names like Seth.
	And the name that came up and cropped up because it became one of the five most popular names and has maintained that for the last five or six years.
	Mason.
	Mason.
	Yes, Mason.
	Correct.
	I think I identified the source of the popularity.
	And I have a theory behind it because...
	I will tell you what I believe is that it's related to Mason from one of the Kardashian girls.
	Unfortunately, that girl was named during its height of popularity.
	She did not make it popular.
	The boy.
	The boy was named.
	Yeah, the boy.
	It's just a girl's name, too.
	Yeah.
	Mason Williams.
	Who's Mason Williams?
	Mason.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	Really?
	Mason Williams is a guitar player, famous for classical gas, a huge hit in the 60s, and then a second time around hit in the 80s, and he was a good-looking guitar player.
	He was on the Smothers Brothers show a lot.
	Okay, stop.
	That's why I don't know.
	Smothers Brothers.
	This Mother's Brothers show was a huge hit.
	Yeah, I know, but I'm a little too young to have been a part of the hit generation.
	Well, I'm just saying, this rotation came around, and this guy, and I think it's the only, I've never heard this name before, Mason Williams.
	And I think it's one of those, you know, heartthrobs that a lot of women named their kids Mason after they, you know, because they got middle-aged or whenever they had these babies, and then Mason became a hot name, and once it became a hot name, it just stabilized as a hot name.
	Mm-hmm.
	I was obsessed with this.
	I kept looking back because it's always like some soap opera star named Kimberly or something.
	It's always something.
	And so I kept looking back.
	Mason, Mason, Mason Jar.
	I couldn't come up with anything.
	And then I said, oh, Mason.
	I like the Mason Jar thing I liked.
	I thought that was a good one.
	Alright, okay, let me just tell you what's going on right now.
	So no longer is the Skype icon bouncing in the dock.
	Now instead, and I've tried to turn it off, a message window comes up with what you were saying to me three seconds ago.
	It's giving me a closed caption of what you're saying.
	It's popping up every time you talk.
	We have to stop this.
	I can't continue.
	It's driving me crazy.
	I have a solution.
	The solution is to turn it off, and I can tell you how, because I can't do it.
	It's a Windows thing.
	What?
	Yes.
	So I have to turn it off to make yours go away?
	Yes.
	You started it.
	I never started anything.
	I think by accident.
	If you can please follow these instructions.
	Oh, there's instructions?
	Yeah, I have instructions.
	Oh, okay, go.
	This is the flight crew in the tower.
	We're going to help the stewardess land the plane.
	You've got an amateur at the wheel.
	Okay.
	All right, here we go.
	Hey man, it's playing!
	Click on the contact.
	That would be me.
	and uncheck the Skype translator button, which is just below the call button.
	Any luck?
	Now here's what my problem is.
	Somehow I only have...
	I don't have split windows.
	I got just your one window open.
	You just double-click on my head.
	Okay.
	Here, I'll help you out a little.
	I just double-clicked on your head, and now I got your full screen.
	That's all I got.
	I'm jiggling the handle.
	Now, do you not see, under the call button, a little translate button?
	I don't have the call button up.
	Let me get the call button back.
	I mean, I just let these things go.
	I mean, I'm concerned about these.
	I have Tourette's.
	It's triggering me.
	Okay, I got the contacts up.
	Okay, now here's the call button.
	I give a...
	End call.
	Now, let's do this.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Let me just look down.
	Oh, I'm going to have to stop the recording to fix this.
	I'm going to freak out.
	Can you understand that it's very odd, but it's triggering me like crazy.
	Yes, I can understand.
	Well, I personally cannot understand it.
	I actually think it's funny, but I can understand it, and I know the way you are and the way that this is going is not something you want to enjoy.
	Thank you.
	So I'm looking at...
	So let's turn off all translation services.
	Go to the tools menu.
	Tools.
	Go to options, general.
	Options.
	General.
	And then there should be a Skype translator.
	Options, general.
	Okay, here's what I got when I got on general.
	Double click.
	Show me when I'm away.
	Start Skype when I start Windows.
	Sign me in.
	Show pictures.
	Show message previews in sidebar.
	Set program to English.
	There is no such button.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	Hey, control room?
	Yeah, Adam, what's going on?
	Can we just take care of this?
	All right, everybody.
	We're going to stop tape.
	Stop tape.
	That's five, everybody.
	That's five.
	Sam, we're back, everybody.
	In five, four, three, two...
	There we go.
	Much better.
	I just wanted to explain the problem.
	Well, first of all, while you're explaining it, I'd like you to explain why this just became a problem when it wasn't a problem when we first noticed it.
	I don't know why this...
	No, it was a problem throughout the whole show.
	I'm sitting here, and every time you would speak...
	A couple seconds later, the Skype icon is bouncing in the dock.
	Now, here's why it's a problem.
	There's a lot going on here when I'm doing the show.
	I have war room, I got email notifications.
	My Skype thing was all in the comments.
	I could have just clicked it, but nothing's bouncing around.
	No, but it's typical of the Mac.
	I don't want to talk about that.
	The point is, I really had to stop it because whenever something flashes on one of the three screens I'm using, it means something for the show.
	And then I got the icon to stop bouncing, and then the notification center's showing me your whole text across the screen.
	And by the way, it was all backed up.
	Oh yeah?
	So how did you...
	I mean, I can't start it.
	I don't have a translation services on the map.
	I don't know.
	Well, here's the question on my mind, more so than you can't start it.
	First of all, I did not ever check a box that...
	Because this little menu thing that I saw, I've never seen it before.
	Was your Skype upgraded for a better experience recently?
	No, because...
	No, I don't think so.
	And so I think it's the same old Skype.
	But...
	The question on my mind is, why should you be getting all that stuff in the first place?
	Getting what stuff?
	All the translations, everything I said.
	Why was the voice activation going into you if I'm the one who wanted it?
	Why don't you call Microsoft?
	I don't know.
	It seems to me that if I click this box and I'm getting this voice recognition, Maybe I don't have a speaker and I just want to hear what you have to say because that way you can do it that way.
	The War Room remembers you on the last show messing around with some translate thing.
	I don't remember it, but...
	It doesn't matter.
	They're just making that up.
	Holy crap, that was really...
	I'm sorry, it was just really freaking me out.
	Well, what gets me, and I'll say it again, there's no reason in the world you can't turn it off on your end.
	It doesn't make sense.
	This whole thing is ridiculous.
	You think?
	Whew!
	My goodness.
	Okay, we need an intermezzo of something.
	Some sorts.
	I don't even remember where we were at.
	I got tons.
	Oh, we did our donation segment.
	Well, it's almost time for the second one.
	My goodness.
	My goodness.
	You turned off the...
	Well, let's talk about...
	Hold on.
	That's only in the moment.
	That's like an alarm clock.
	Woo!
	Woo!
	That's right.
	Okay, I'm back.
	Here we go.
	What are we talking about?
	Let's go drugs and...
	Let's do the drug story.
	The first one is fraud.
	Drugs, but it means drugs.
	Drugs in Georgia.
	There's been a massive drug overdose in central Georgia, at least two dozen cases over the past 48 hours, and reports are still coming in.
	So far, as many as four people have died.
	It is just the latest alarming example of the overdose epidemic in America.
	Mark Strassman begins our coverage.
	Authorities in central Georgia say a deadly new drug has hit the streets hard.
	It's the largest cluster of opioid overdoses in state history.
	Bibb County Sheriff David Davis.
	This is a poison and it acts very fast and our timeline is very tight to be able to get to these individuals and render them aid.
	At least two dozen users have been found unconscious or unresponsive in the last 48 hours and potentially four have died from overdoses.
	Toxicology analysis of the street drug is incomplete, but investigators believe the yellow pill is being falsely sold as the pain pill Percocet, but is laced with other drugs.
	When it's taken, the patients are experiencing significant and severe decreased levels of consciousness and respiratory failure.
	Now, is there a street version of Percocet?
	I know fentanyl, we know all that.
	That's what they say.
	This story makes it sound as if the pill looks like a Percocet and it's being sold as such on the street.
	Yeah, this is a major problem.
	But it's also, I guess it's just kind of human nature.
	Well, the good news, if there is any, and I don't think there is, generally speaking, is in part two of the clip.
	And I do want to make a commentary on it after we play it.
	Now, listen to this.
	Overdoses are now the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 50.
	According to preliminary data compiled by the New York Times, deaths last year likely topped 59,000, and that's 19% more than the year before.
	In Ohio, they were up even more.
	Oh, you know what we need to do?
	We have to get rid of the guns.
	And Dean Reynolds is there.
	On May 26th, Cleveland Police Sergeant Timothy Moffo's body camera was running as he approached a man slumped in a car and, it turned out, minutes from a fatal drug overdose.
	Three applications of Narcan, the anti-overdose drug, and the victim finally started coming around.
	Welcome back, brother.
	Sergeant Moffo says it's become a grim routine.
	Have you encountered the same person twice?
	Oh yeah, yeah, that's pretty common.
	There were 11 overdoses just last night in Cleveland, two of them fatal.
	In Ohio, at least 4,100 people died from unintentional drug overdoses last year, a 36% increase from 2015 when the state led the nation in the rate of overdose deaths.
	Kentucky, West Virginia, and New Hampshire have also experienced shocking increases, as has the East Coast generally.
	Most of it tied to heroin of prescription painkillers called opioids, often laced with a powerful narcotic known as fentanyl.
	In Ohio alone, nearly 4 billion opioid pills were prescribed between 2011 and 2015.
	Even the state's Lieutenant Governor, Mary Taylor, recently disclosed that her two sons are now battling opioid addiction.
	Thomas Gilson is the medical examiner for Cuyahoga County.
	If you look at how many people die in this country from opiate overdose, we're looking at, you know, the same number of casualties in the entire Vietnam conflict.
	The crisis affects rich and poor, white and black, old and young.
	Last Thursday, the 911 operator in Akron received this call from a nine-year-old.
	It's unclear how the child got the opioid in his system, but he died on Sunday.
	Ohio is now suing five big drug companies which manufacture prescription painkillers, charging that they knowingly minimize the risks of addiction.
	Yeah, boy.
	And by the way, this lawsuit is going to go through, and the thing is, the CEOs who overpay themselves anywhere are going to get away with this.
	They should criminalize, somehow criminalize some of this and put some of these CEOs of these drug companies, who if you see a lot of them, to me, look like mafia guys, and throw them in jail.
	This is ridiculous.
	It's out of control.
	Well, this is, and this also harkens back, a call back to your newsletter.
	The problem is that certainly when it comes to network news, whether it's on the three-by-threes or whether it's on the cables, they are pretty much eating from the drug companies.
	Tina and I were watching last night.
	And just one after another.
	And you know what the sad thing is?
	You know who they're targeting with this, John?
	Us.
	That's the sad thing.
	That's why you're watching.
	Yeah, listen to this one.
	A true story with Keytruda.
	On Keytruda, my scans started showing good news.
	In a clinical study, Keytruda offered patients a longer life than chemotherapy, and with high levels of PD-L1, it could be your first treatment instead of chemotherapy.
	Keytruda is for adults with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread, who test positive for PD-L1, and whose tumors do not have an abnormal EGFR or ALK gene.
	Woo!
	Now listen to the side effects and possible outcomes.
	Keytruda helps your immune system fight cancer.
	Keytruda can cause your immune system to attack normal organs and tissues in your body and affect how they work and may be serious and lead to death.
	See your doctor right away if you experience new or worsening cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, diarrhea, severe stomach pain or tenderness.
	Sounds like something I gotta get!
	I have pretty much all of those.
	Man, oh man, it's out of control.
	And this is, whatever this is, you know, this is, instead of chemotherapy, but when you get to the opioids...
	I don't think, no one will go to jail.
	It just doesn't make any sense.
	It's not how the system works, and no one will report on it.
	No reporting, don't exist, didn't happen.
	Well, that report was done on CBS, so I give them kudos for that.
	This is just, you know, hey, we have to do something, guys.
	Maybe y'all should step up a little bit so we don't have to report so heavily on the court case.
	That's the conversation I'd be having.
	That's what I'd be having.
	Yeah.
	That may be actually the reason for that report in the first place, if you were going to go there.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Well, there's another lawsuit against ABC, and this is something that we discussed.
	Remember Pink Slime?
	Oh yeah, pink slime.
	This was years ago.
	I think the lawsuit is now finally going to court.
	A high-stakes defamation lawsuit opening this week with Beef Products Incorporated taking on ABC News for nearly $6 billion over a series of 2012 reports that referred to BPI's signature product as pink slime.
	A label the company says torpedoed its revenues.
	It's the first major court challenge against a media company since accusations of fake news by U.S. President Donald Trump and his supporters have become part of the American vernacular.
	You are fake news.
	Twitter's legal correspondent, Anthony Lynn.
	Well, they're objecting to what ABC and some critics, you know, using the term pink slime, which, you know, they regard as pejorative.
	Basically, this is a meat product.
	They call it lean, finely textured beef, and it's been used for decades as sort of a supplement to other meat cuts in ground beef that's sold in the supermarket.
	Hamburger Helper.
	BPI accusing ABC News, which is owned by Disney, of defaming the company and making errors and omissions.
	The company has home court advantage, with the trial taking place in Elk Point, South Dakota.
	Just 20 miles north of BPI's headquarters.
	Union County, where Elk Point is located, was won easily by Trump, who made bashing the mainstream media part of his presidential campaign.
	Please bring him in!
	A BPI lawyer even borrowing a phrase often used by the president at a January court hearing, referring to ABC's report as fake news.
	Fake news.
	Oh, my, my, my, my, my.
	Well, that's going to be, they're going to have to settle that one.
	Let's talk for a moment about the UK. A lot is going on today is their vote, which should be very interesting.
	I'm pretty sure Tories will get it and they'll just continue.
	Well, I think they'll get, but I think they're going to lose their edge.
	I think that this was a bad idea.
	It was not a good idea at all, in my humble opinion.
	In your humble opinion, I think everybody would agree with that.
	Now, we had this, another attack, and it was really fun.
	I mean, I have, what was that, Pogo TV or whatever on Roku, so you can watch Sky News, and you can watch a number of things.
	Pierce Morgan, I mean, I should play these first.
	Let me see.
	No, but Pierce Morgan had Sadiq Khan on, who was the mayor of London.
	Pierce now does the morning show on, I think it's Sky or Channel 4.
	And he asked a very simple question.
	And no matter what We're right now.
	I said earlier, if you're a football hooligan and you whack a few people at a football match, you get a banning order.
	If you do it abroad, you get a control order, which means you can't travel.
	And yet, if you're a jihadi who wants to go to Syria and fight against British troops on some occasions, we just let you calmly come back in.
	And yet 400 have come back out of the 850 who've gone to Iraq or Syria to fight.
	How do we know how many...
	I mean, obviously this is a UK problem.
	You are mayor of the capital city where the most recent terrorist attack has taken place.
	How many of those 400 have come back to London?
	The estimate is just over half.
	Where are they?
	How are we letting people back in to the UK who haven't just been trained?
	They've actually fought potentially against our troops.
	How are we letting them back in without knowing exactly where they are and what they're up to?
	Because out of all the thousands of people that we're concerned about, surely those who've actually gone to fight are the biggest risk.
	That's one of the reasons why it doesn't make sense for the government to be cutting resources from those...
	But where are they?
	You're the mayor of this capital city.
	Where are they?
	I can't follow 400 people.
	What I can do is make sure...
	Why can't you instruct the police?
	Why can't you call Cressida Dick right now and say every one of those people has come back from a war zone who's in London.
	I want them followed.
	Let me see why.
	Because the Met Police budget, roughly speaking, 15% to 20% is funded by Mead, the mayor.
	The rest comes from central government.
	If the Met Police budget is being shrunk and reduced, they've got to prioritise and use their resources in a sensible, savvy way.
	What could be a bigger priority than people coming back from a Syrian battlefield with intent to harm British citizens?
	Why is it not the number one priority?
	Why are these people just allowed to come back in in the first place and then the London mayor doesn't appear to have a clue where any of them are?
	I mean, no disrespect to you, but where are they?
	Well, that's one of the questions that obviously the police and security services are looking to.
	But this chap here...
	Sadiq, you're the mayor of London.
	Yeah.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	Wait.
	The question, I think there's something screwy about this from this perspective.
	What party is the mayor of London?
	Isn't he a liberal Democrat or is he a laborer?
	I believe so.
	I believe he's, I think, well, that's a good question.
	He's not a Tory.
	War room?
	He's not a Tory.
	We know that much.
	He's not a Tory.
	There's no way.
	He may be a Lib Dem.
	We'll find out.
	Now, not being a Tory, why doesn't he, with this going on, because I know he could use this answer and it would change.
	Why doesn't he say, hey, ask the Home Secretary, ask the Tories, ask the Home Secretary, ask the Home Secretary why they're not dealing with this.
	I got nothing to do with it.
	Instead, he doesn't do that, which he should logically do, but I think he's just a Muslim defender.
	Well, let's go back a few years.
	He's a lawyer.
	When he literally defended 9-11 terrorist, Zakarias Moussaoui.
	There's no evidence at all against the three British men.
	The only evidence against them is these confessions.
	We now have unequivocal proof That the confessions were obtained under duress and under torture.
	As there is no evidence against the men, the men need to be released straight away and sent back home to the families.
	The Egyptian government and the state prosecutor have made a terrible mistake.
	They can correct that mistake by releasing the men now What we're concerned about is they're compounding their mistake by continuing to entertain them and having this farce of a trial.
	This is a breach of Egyptian zone, very important law.
	Egypt has a proud history of being the custodians of law and justice.
	There you go.
	He is literally a Muslim, a terrorist defender.
	I shouldn't have said Muslim defender.
	What I meant was a Muslim terrorist defender.
	Yes.
	And because he could have said, I don't see why he didn't say, well, because he doesn't want...
	He wants these guys here.
	I never liked this mayor.
	I always thought he was corrupt in some funny way.
	But what gets me and what Pierce and his co-host nailed is, hold on, you know that there's 400, you know they're back, half of them, so you know who they are, but you, oh, I can't follow 400, I can't follow them, no, because they took away my money.
	That's what he's saying.
	Oh, I didn't have the budget.
	And meanwhile, the slaves in the UK are like...
	Many London-bound passengers flying...
	Well, not just British, but they're also Americans.
	...out of Los Angeles said they were alarmed, but would carry on with their travel plans.
	We've already bought the tickets for everything, and we're staying right in the city.
	So, you know, again, you can't stop living.
	You just have to go and hope for the best.
	We just have to be cautious and keep living our life and not let it stop us.
	In London, heightened security as forensic investigators scour the area.
	In all honesty, we have to have confidence in the security mechanisms that are in place.
	So, you know, like I say, you can't live in fear.
	You have to live your life.
	So everyone's, oh, yeah.
	Well, you know this is the time to go.
	Well, I don't know.
	I mean, I almost went after Manchester.
	So it's not necessarily the right time to go.
	Statistical analysis is right.
	I do have some insider info from a couple of our producers in Gitmo Nation GMT. Now, it has been...
	Let me see, 10 points.
	Here we go.
	First, I know for sure...
	Okay, somebody died because a friend of mine I know very well, James Mullen from Hackney, was a close friend of someone I know.
	Second, I know the hospitals are filled with people with gunshot wounds.
	This is not being reported.
	I know this because the person I know whose friend died went round all the hospitals trying to find his deceased friend without success.
	Remember they said, oh, only 50 bullets.
	But it appears a lot of people were shot by police bullets.
	I don't know who else had the jihadis had knives and a truck.
	But there's no real reporting on this.
	For sure, one person got a headshot.
	But yeah, I think there's a lot of unexplained stuff.
	There's a lot of weird things going on with this.
	Well, the one story, the one clip I have...
	And you should be outraged if you're in the UK. What do you mean you don't have the money?
	What do you mean you don't have the money?
	Are you serious?
	Or is he just saying that, so please don't vote?
	I can't get to the war room.
	For some reason, all of our infrastructure went down or something.
	It was very strange.
	Why?
	I mean, the outrage should just be astronomical.
	Well, it might be.
	Or is he just saying that so you don't vote for Theresa May?
	Is that possible?
	I think if he wanted to do that, he would have thrown the whole question at the Home Secretary.
	Right.
	Right.
	So I don't think this is political.
	I think he's just like a defender of these guys.
	He likes the...
	I don't know.
	But here's the story that got me.
	This is the guy but...
	Yeah, yeah.
	One of the terrorists.
	The guy was on a TV show.
	Oh, they knew all these guys.
	Whenever it's a lone wolf, they always had eyes on him at some point.
	But here's the story that, of course, RT loves to give the West English and the Americans the needle.
	So this is an RT report, so it's definitely slanted.
	But this is a very interesting report on but the terrorists.
	In time, British authorities have revealed more details about one of the London Bridge attackers at the weekend.
	It emerged that as well as appearing in a documentary called The Jihadis Next Door, he also worked on the London Underground transport system.
	Polly Boyker has more.
	His extremist ideology was right there for British authorities to see.
	Karam Butt's radical views were captured on camera in 2015 for a documentary about jihadists that was watched by millions in the UK. MI5 did look into him, but they found no evidence that he was planning an attack and he was deemed low priority.
	So low priority that he was able to get a job with the London Underground.
	He's said to have worked at various tube stations, including Westminster, which is right next to the British Parliament.
	Incredibly, it's reported that he was sacked for poor attendance and not his extremist views.
	Kurambat worked for London Underground for just under six months as a trainee customer service assistant, leaving in October last year.
	And the revelations don't end there.
	This is the block of flats where Karam Butt lived with his young family on the ground floor.
	One neighbour told journalists that his wife reported Butt to the police two years ago because she was worried that he was trying to convert children to radical Islam.
	On another occasion, a former friend reported Butt to the police Because he was worried that Butt had been radicalized through watching online propaganda.
	Hmm.
	So they had all the reports they needed, and MI5 was aware of this guy because he was in the documentary.
	Yeah.
	You know, these security agencies, what do they do for a living?
	Well, they're not...
	Aren't they supposed to do this kind of...
	Don't they...
	Well, they say they thwarted...
	They say they thwarted five.
	You know, it's always that.
	No, this is what the London mayor is really interested in.
	You've come under quite some pressure from the US president.
	What do you think that he's got against you?
	Well, look, I mean, since Saturday I've been working with the police, with the emergency services, with the government and others to deal with the horrific attack on Saturday.
	I just haven't got the time to respond to tweets from Donald Trump.
	Would you like the state visit to be called off?
	Well, my position remains the same.
	You know, I don't think we should be running out of the red carpet to the President of the USA in the circumstances where his policies go against everything we stand for.
	I think one of the things, when you have a special relationship, it's no different to when you've got a close mate.
	You stand with them in times of adversity, but you call them out when they're wrong.
	And there are many things about which Donald Trump is wrong.
	It's been hammered into us for two generations, but really, starting with my generation, be kind, love, peace, can we all get along, everything's great.
	And no one wants to just say, no, I'm going to beat back.
	You know?
	And people in the UK, when they hear this, everything he stands for, everything we don't want, I don't know.
	We're not entirely safe in the US, but we haven't had this.
	You know?
	So at what point do people say, you know, I'm really tired of people getting killed?
	And the crazy thing is, here in the United States, the same thing with the political correct atmosphere.
	You know, if you, like, America's always kind of been, hey, don't tread on me, I'm going to kick your ass, which is now racist, of course, the Gadsden flag.
	You can't even use that.
	You can't use the phrase, probably.
	Then, you know, it's like, oh, you're frowned upon.
	And this is what he's saying.
	Well, no.
	Well, he said that he stands for everything, everything, what was it again?
	He's against everything we stand for?
	Yeah, pretty much.
	His policies...
	Well, let's listen to it here.
	...to the President of the USA in the circumstances where his policies go against everything we stand for.
	I think one of the things...
	Everything.
	Everything you stand for.
	Okay.
	What policies are this?
	It's all about the Muslim travel ban.
	It's all about the travel ban.
	My friends in London, they all universally say...
	Damn Muslim.
	They're incredibly racist.
	But they're angry about it.
	But no one says anything.
	It's really quite meek and timid.
	I find it fascinating that there's no incredible outrage.
	And we know that Theresa May said, oh, the internet is a safe space.
	We've got to stop all that.
	Now this is flowing through here and CBS Live.
	I have a clip.
	I have a clip, too.
	So you play your clip and then I have my Theresa May clip.
	All right.
	This is actually Fran Townsend.
	Oh, Franny.
	Yeah, Franny's kind of milfy.
	Was she a national security advisor, I believe, for Bush?
	She's in the business.
	Well, she's clearly in the business.
	A little tidbit that came up here in the introduction.
	CBS News senior national security analyst Fran Townsend with us.
	She was President George W. Bush's homeland security advisor.
	She's been interviewed by Trump administration officials seeking a new FBI director.
	Fran, good morning.
	Wow, this is before the new guy was announced.
	She would have been great.
	Don't you think she would have been fantastic as an FBI director?
	I think she would, but she wouldn't take that job.
	She's semi-retired.
	She's coasting.
	Yes, and she's got this gig at CBS. How significant is this component, this cyberspace component, and how should it be addressed?
	Charlie, I think that this is the single most important component right now.
	Let's remember, using the telegram channel, the encrypted messaging application, ISIS called for Ramadan attacks using cars, knives, and guns.
	And we've seen this incredible rise in these Ramadan attacks right now.
	And so, I think what Theresa May is trying to say is, we need to battle the cyberspace just as you would the physical space, air, sea, land.
	We need to approach it in that way to confront them, to deny them the use of the Internet.
	Addressing the cyberspace issue, I read this morning that Twitter said it suspended 370,000 accounts in the second half of 2017 for promoting terrorism.
	Now, this is what's incredible to listen to.
	Yes, they deactivated 387,000 accounts.
	That doesn't mean it was 387,000 people, but these morons don't even see through that.
	They're presenting as, oh my god, there's almost a half a million...
	No, this is all retweet and bots and click farms.
	Mostly, I mean, if you're going to do this, it seems to me you want to create yourself a little army of Twitter users.
	You write a script...
	A JavaScript that creates accounts and just rotates through names like Robert1, Robert2, Robert3, Robert4.
	And since it's all screen-based, you can do an account.
	There's no captchas that I know of on Twitter to make an account.
	So you can have one guy just with a nice script create 10,000 or 20,000 accounts in two or three days.
	That's a huge number.
	It sounds like they're trying to do something.
	They are.
	They were very late to the game and they had to be sort of shamed into doing it.
	And they have an understandable and righteous concern about First Amendment.
	I get that.
	By the same token, you can't allow yourselves to provide the social media companies material support, right?
	That's a criminal offense to provide material support.
	And so you have to do more.
	They have to deploy technology that will allow them to identify video, audio, pictures, And take them down.
	Aren't there videos still online right now?
	There are, Gail.
	And Anwar al-Awlaki is probably the best example.
	An American-born al-Qaeda cleric who was rightly and legally targeted with a drone attack by President Obama and killed.
	Wow!
	Rightly and legally killed an American by drone!
	Woohoo!
	And everyone's like, yeah, mm-hmm, yeah.
	Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, no problem.
	And please, disregard the fact that he was a featured luncheon speaker at the Pentagon in 2002, 2003.
	He was freely invited into the Pentagon to speak about how he could help bridge the gap between the radical Islamic community and the intelligence and armed forces.
	And then he was legally killed and his son was legally killed while he was having a...
	Did they bring up the fact that it was righteous and legal to kill the 16-year-old?
	Well, of course not!
	Why would you do that?
	...pictures and take them down.
	Aren't there videos still online right now?
	There are, Gail, and Anwar al-Awlaki is probably the best example, an American-born al-Qaeda cleric who was rightly and legally targeted with a drone attack by President Obama and killed.
	If you go online right now and you Google him, you can bring up his sermons, and so that stuff's still online, and he's permitted to terrorize us from the grave.
	I targeted you from the grave.
	I worked on that all night.
	Sorry.
	Hold on.
	That's terrible.
	There we go.
	I can't get it back.
	Get that frog in your throat.
	Clear out your throat.
	One, two.
	Hey, it won't stop.
	One, two.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	There we go.
	No, it won't stop.
	I can't stop myself.
	There we go.
	What?
	What?
	It's been quite the day.
	Now, that was a piece of propaganda crap.
	It's horrible.
	CBS again.
	Mm-hmm.
	And they can't, I mean, there's no, to let her get away with, I mean, I think she's a good analyst.
	I think she does great work.
	Yeah, she's cute.
	And I like her.
	She's pretty.
	And she comes out and says rightly and legally, they throw that in on purpose.
	Yeah.
	It wasn't like casual that she was just thinking.
	This was rehearsed.
	She had the whole paragraph all set up and good to go.
	It's online.
	It could actually be one guy that did all 387,000, but we don't know.
	But it wasn't more than a dozen.
	But they're talking about that has to be removed.
	Free speech.
	The slaves, that's what it comes down to.
	We cannot have Silicon Valley, mainly, facilitating speech.
	No!
	Just no to speech is what it is.
	I mean, we need a very different education system.
	We need people to think about.
	We as human beings are not prepared for the internet.
	We still have tailbones.
	We don't know what the hell, how to deal with this.
	Witness what's going on.
	I'm 52, and it's getting hard on me sometimes.
	And then you've got all this stuff popping up and jiggling.
	And you actually know about the mechanisms.
	Most people don't even have a clue.
	Especially those facebaggers you keep quoting from.
	Yeah, it's rough.
	They have no clue that we're even ridiculing them.
	Let's play the Theresa May thing, which takes it to another level.
	Okay.
	Again, after three deadly terror attacks in as many months, now Britain's Prime Minister said she's prepared to rewrite current human rights laws if they get in the way of attempts to implement new anti-terror legislation.
	I mean longer prison sentences for those convicted of terrorist offences.
	I mean making it easier for the authorities to deport foreign terrorist suspects back to their own country.
	Yeah.
	And I mean doing more to restrict the freedom and movements of terrorist suspects when we have enough evidence to know they are a threat but not enough evidence to prosecute them in full in court.
	And if our human rights laws stop us from doing it, we'll change the laws so we can do it.
	Theresa May's approach to countering terrorism differs from her political opponents.
	The Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn wants an overhaul of foreign policy connecting the attacks to foreign wars.
	He's insisted he would do everything possible to prevent further atrocities, but has voted against anti-terror legislation no less than 17 times since becoming an MP. You know, I just figured it out.
	I know what's going on there in the UK. And you actually brought this up in relationship to Donald Trump, which is not a part of this story.
	But if you take into account Brexit, which is now a serious conversation, why people voted to leave, it turns out, according to the Office for National Statistics in the UK, that there are now...
	Let me see, what is the number?
	Up to, it is increasing with 12% year over year, the cases of syphilis.
	And there are serious conversations about people saying that this syphilis epidemic is making people nutty, which is what syphilis does.
	Yeah.
	And since you brought this up with the whole Trump thing that he maybe had syphilis, and that seems to be popping up, we need to keep our eye on this.
	But before you know it, everyone's going to be like, that guy has syphilis.
	Seriously, though.
	Seriously.
	Well, syphilis has always been a problematic disease.
	In fact, before it was eradicated by penicillin or killed off by penicillin, It had a very interesting reputation.
	It created insanity.
	It made it look like you had other diseases that you didn't have.
	It's not an easy disease to diagnose, either.
	It's not like gonorrhea, for example.
	Are there any external signs of syphilis, or you just go nutty?
	Well, let's look it up.
	Oh, this is a good one.
	I can't wait.
	Ladies and gentlemen, where else do you get a team, a crack crew, focusing down on the symptoms of syphilis than right here on the No Agenda show?
	I tell ya.
	You got it?
	Okay.
	No, I just...
	It's a very funny word to spell.
	Same-day syphilis tests.
	It's a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacteria, blah, blah, blah.
	The signs and symptoms of the...
	Oh, by the way, I have an ISO for you, which I just kind of used.
	This is the...
	From Tucker?
	Tucker ISO. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Sexually transmitted infection.
	Thank you.
	You can use that for any purpose.
	For anything, yeah.
	The signs and symptoms vary depending on which of the four stages.
	Primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary.
	The primary stage classically represents just a canker sore.
	A firm, painless, non-itchy skin ulceration.
	Okay?
	Hmm.
	There may be multiple sores, which is probably similar to a genital wart, I'm guessing.
	But there may be multiple sores.
	In secondary syphilis, herpes.
	Sounds like herpes.
	So you might get mixed up with herpes.
	And is there a cure for syphilis?
	Yeah, penicillin.
	I feel queasy all of a sudden.
	Yeah, well, you're just going to get worse.
	In secondary syphilis, a diffuse rash occurs, which frequently involves the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet.
	Now, this is like, okay.
	That's late stage?
	No, that's second.
	That's second.
	Oh.
	Second stage.
	There may also be sores in the mouth or vagina.
	In latent syphilis, which is stage three, which can last for years, there are no symptoms.
	But then, stage four.
	Tertiary syphilis, there are gumas, soft non-cancerous gross neurological or heart symptoms.
	Yeah, you get heart problems too.
	Syphilis has been known as the great imitator as it It may cause symptoms similar to many other diseases.
	Now, if you have syphilis on your hands or you have the rash, that's not transferable?
	It's only through sexual contact?
	That's my understanding.
	Yeah, it's rare.
	It says fewer than 200,000 U.S. cases per year.
	Spreads by sexual contact.
	Treatable by a medical professional.
	Medium term.
	Resolves within months.
	Requires a medical diagnosis.
	Lab tests or imaging is always required.
	Hmm.
	So, and when do you go crazy?
	Is that the last stage?
	It's just one of those, I think it must be.
	Hmm.
	There's not really much discussion about the making you nuts, even though it's a very known symptom.
	Well, there's serious talk about this, and we need to keep an eye out, because when you have people saying Trump may have it, and that's why he's nuts, and then, you know, ugh, I mean, it could just be anybody.
	You know what?
	We should all get a yellow star if we have syphilis.
	That'll help.
	The world has gone nuts, I tell you, John.
	It's gone nuts.
	I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.

	I have a few things.
	Yes, this is one of the holdover from the last show.
	I came across an interview with Seth Rich's girlfriend.
	Another guy named Seth.
	Yes, Kelsey.
	And, you know, we've heard a lot of different accounts of this, but I thought this short clip was just interesting to add to the arsenal.
	More than two months since the killing of Seth Rich, the 27-year-old Democratic Committee employee, his girlfriend still wants answers.
	Whoever shot the gun...
	It's probably doing it out of anger.
	Rich apparently was talking to Kelsey Molka on the phone when he was shot in the back and killed July 10th while walking home from a bar.
	The officers that arrived actually couldn't believe he passed because he was talking away.
	Rich worked for the DNC and was killed shortly before WikiLeaks released damning emails which forced the resignations of several party leaders on the eve of the Democratic Convention.
	So it confirmed there from her as well.
	He was just talking away.
	How could he have died?
	Are you using a Radio Shack mic to make these clips?
	No, I didn't make that clip.
	Someone else found it for me, obviously.
	Then, this is something...
	And then I definitely want to talk about Qatar, Qatar.
	But this is something I've heard about, I read about, I finally got a clip, just I wanted to bring it up, because I do not understand, A, why it's happening, B, why it's not a much bigger story in the M5M. Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to lock up anyone entering the United States illegally.
	But four months in, a Reuters investigation finds U.S. border agents are still releasing illegal migrants after they're caught crossing the border from Mexico, just as they did under the Obama-era policy known as catch and release.
	There's one big change, though.
	Far fewer migrants are trying to cross into the United States.
	Border agents telling us that's because Trump's rhetoric has convinced people in Mexico and Central America.
	Incorrectly, it turns out, that Trump is already cracking down.
	The finish of the story is interesting by itself, but that's just going on?
	I thought that was going to be stopped.
	And why isn't people yelling about this?
	Well, I think if it's actually having a psychological effect in preventing people from coming here in the first place, that's okay by me.
	Mm-hmm.
	But the story, obviously, is to say, hey, hey, hey, they're not doing anything.
	Yeah, but that's not a story.
	I had to search high and low for this clip.
	That's why I'm confused.
	Oh, I don't know.
	I noticed this, too.
	Yeah.
	Now the thing.
	Well, they got just because it's gotten for one thing, it's got nothing to do.
	It plays to the wrong base.
	And so the stories always have to play to the right base, which is the liberals and Democrats.
	Right.
	And so those stories are the, you know, he's insane, he needs to be impeached.
	You mean the story has depth?
	Russia, Russia, Russia.
	Yeah.
	Well, same goes, because I know it does not fit the story, the narrative, whatever you want to call it.
	Is this rift in the Middle East with Qatar.
	And no agenda listeners know exactly what's going on.
	But everyone is saying, oh yes, terrorism.
	Qataris are the finance.
	We all know finance is a terrorist.
	We know it's the Saudis.
	But this is not about terrorism.
	This rift.
	And to me it sounds like Trump is behind this.
	And the reason why it can't be discussed is the following.
	Qatar, the whole Syria issue is about competing pipelines.
	One, and Syria has the port, and the idea was natural gas from Iran through Iraq into Syria, into Russia's port, off to Europe.
	And Russia's always looking for new ways to be the supplier to the biggest customer, which is the EU, which is Europe in general.
	Qatar shares an oil field with a lot of enemies, a lot of animosity between Qatar or Qatar and Iran.
	You have to look at the map to see where all these places are and look where Saudi Arabia is in respect to this.
	And the Qataris wanted a pipeline going up through Syria into Turkey and then it would go into Europe.
	And that has been the problem.
	As Assad said, yeah, you know, it's cool.
	No, I don't think so.
	I'll take this pipeline.
	And then we have this crap going down.
	Now, to thwart any of this is, in a roundabout way, is it now supporting Putin?
	Are the Saudis now supporting Putin?
	You have to know, and you have to listen to the CBS report.
	I've got two clips, which is the Qatar CBS and the Qatar 2.
	And they can't seem to want to deal with the pipeline stuff because it's too complex.
	It doesn't feed into the right narrative about Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, and impeach, impeach, impeach.
	Putin!
	CBS News has learned this evening that Russian hackers are suspected of interfering with a news site in the Gulf state of Qatar and may have put out fake information that helped spark a diplomatic crisis.
	A number of Arab nations have cut diplomatic and commercial ties with Qatar.
	And here is Margaret Brennan.
	President Trump appeared to take credit for sparking the diplomatic crisis.
	In a series of tweets, the president said his recent visit to Saudi Arabia was paying off as the kingdom and nine other countries severed relations with Qatar for allegedly funding radical ideology.
	This is like really a sick interpretation by CBS. He made that tweet, I remember it, because they did this huge military deal.
	It's paying off.
	Yeah.
	But they just twisted it right before our very eyes to make it sound like it's paying off so we can screw Qatar.
	Why?
	Why are they saying that?
	Why are they doing that?
	No, no, I'm saying why would Trump go all the way to Saudi Arabia to screw Qatar in their world?
	I mean, they don't even explain it.
	I mean, there could be reasons, but they're like mixing this and that.
	This is like this kind of, you know...
	It's like they chop stuff up and then they just keep shuffling cards and they go, here's a good clip.
	Let's make it about something else.
	I got an idea.
	Make it about hacking, Russian hacking.
	Barking the diplomatic crisis.
	In a series of tweets, the president said his recent visit to Saudi Arabia was paying off as the kingdom and nine other countries severed relations with Qatar for allegedly funding radical ideology.
	That is really quite bizarre that they just twist that.
	But the president made no mention of that last month when he met with the Qatari emir, instead offering to sell him weapons.
	Lots of beautiful military equipment.
	During that trip, the president vowed to unify the Muslim world against terrorism and Iran.
	But tension spiked in the past 24 hours, with countries in the region closing their airspace to Qatari planes, blocking trade and cutting diplomatic ties, sparking Qataris to stockpile food.
	The U.S. launches airstrikes against ISIS in Syria and Iraq from a base in Qatar.
	The tiny Gulf Emirate hosts around 10,000 U.S. troops.
	That's one reason Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has tried to de-escalate the crisis.
	We certainly would encourage the parties to sit down together and address these differences.
	Now it goes on, but let's just listen to what they said so far.
	Which makes no logical sense.
	Okay.
	Somehow the Russian hackers screwed up some news stories, but Trump was behind that too somehow, because after all, he had said that things are going great.
	He told them, he told them, go hack Russia.
	And meanwhile, of course, he'd been to Qatar and he sold them something, I guess, beautiful.
	They put a really kind of an evil clip in there.
	It just subtly, I heard it, where he said, beautiful war machines, which I just thought was chicken shit, but that's okay.
	And then they never do the who, what, when, where, and why with no why.
	There was no explanation whatsoever.
	Except it starts with Russian hackers and ends up with Trump somehow wanting this with no explanation.
	And everybody knows Saudi Arabia is the big funders.
	In fact, RT did a little report on this.
	I didn't clip it, I don't think.
	And they went on and on ridiculing how stupid the idea was because Saudi Arabia is really the big funders more than Qatar.
	And it's just this is the one of the again, another example of CBS not being just doing destructive reporting with no with just I mean, if anyone thinks about these reports, they go, this doesn't make any sense.
	No, I go to part two.
	Well, first, we'll do that.
	I saw it in your clip list.
	I like it.
	They're doing they're using that to this is the RT new transition.
	It's just they're using it too much.
	I kind of like that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Let me try it again.
	You will obey.
	Jeff Begay is in the Washington newsroom.
	And yesterday, U.S. Ambassador Dana Smith praised Qatar's great partnership in countering terrorist financing.
	Smith has broken with the president before, lamenting last month on Twitter that it is increasingly difficult to spend the day explaining our democracy and institutions.
	Today, State Department spokesperson Heather Nauer tried to soften the president's comments on Qatar.
	They have made progress, but they still have work to do.
	More work needs to be done.
	Smith is not the only frustrated long-term diplomat, but Scott, while President Trump wants his own nominees in place, he's only appointed 11 ambassadors to fill 188 empty State Department slots.
	Margaret Brennan at the State Department.
	Thanks.
	In Paris today, a man attacked a police officer with a hammer.
	And ended.
	I don't know what else to say.
	A couple of things.
	One, they twist the report to make it sound like it's because he doesn't have the right ambassadors, even though this ambassador they quoted...
	I mean, this report was terrible.
	They take stuff out of context.
	They say the ambassador had to explain how our democracy works as if this is really trying to explain why Trump's in office.
	I mean, it's innuendo and all this other crazy stuff.
	This Scott Pelley does have to go.
	Now, that said, they did introduce in this clip Heather.
	Yes.
	And so I have some clips from, but I didn't put them on this show, but Heather is the new girl, the new girl who's flirting with Matt.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	And I saw Jen on the panel on CNN yesterday.
	Yeah, she's on the panel, and she must be jealous, because Heather is prettier.
	What's Heather's last name?
	Something crazy.
	Heather...
	It starts with an N, some crazy name.
	It doesn't even seem like a real name.
	You can put Heather, State Department spokesperson.
	Heather Nauert.
	Nauert.
	And she has a binder that is the size of a bookcase.
	It's bigger than the other guys.
	Oh, it's way bigger.
	And she's constantly fiddling with it.
	And she goes right to, somebody asks a question, she goes to the tab, she's looking and looking.
	It takes her sometimes two or three minutes.
	Flip, flip.
	I'll bring some clips for the next show.
	I like her hair.
	This is an appropriate length for her.
	It's more modern, yeah.
	And we're only discussing this as television professionals, television producers.
	Right.
	Because I keep seeing Dana Perino on the Foxes.
	And she has her hair really long, and it's completely ruined any look she had.
	She looks bland, not just bleh.
	I agree 100%.
	Dana Perina needs to cut her shirt, give herself a pixie look.
	And I really like Guilfoyle when she parts her hair off to the side.
	That's a good look for her.
	Yeah, that's a much softer...
	Not so Barbie doll-ish.
	Well, Marino definitely needs to work on her hair.
	And there at Fox, they got the showbiz people that they should picture her.
	And these dresses, it looks like she's wearing a harness.
	When she sits down, they shift up.
	It should be flush with her skin against her armpits and everything, and her neckline.
	And it's not.
	It's like she's wearing a harness and sitting down at the round table.
	Well, they probably fired the dressers.
	No, they got no more money.
	Wardrobe!
	Wardrobe!
	I'm sure they don't, you know, I noticed when I was at Tech TV, the first people that they fired were the makeup people, which is stupid.
	Always the first to go.
	Always the first to go.
	Anyway, so this Heather, she's fiddling around, she goes through the, and then she finds the document, she'll read it.
	She does a really good job of reading.
	It sounds like she's talking.
	She's not.
	She's reading from press releases.
	And she's somewhat flirtatious with Matt, which is a plus.
	And she's very pleasant.
	And she's not like the other two women that were there under Obama.
	And I guess whoever's running the State Department at the time.
	Thanks, Obama.
	They were condescending.
	This woman is very natural and she seems very nice.
	I must admit, I had kind of given up on Matt and the whole State Department briefings.
	I'm going to get back into it now.
	I'm back on the beat.
	And that's not because of Heather.
	She's flirting with Matt.
	We need to document this.
	She says she's not going to do a daily, which Matt wants.
	I'm sure he does.
	She's going to do it twice a week.
	Can I do it twice a week?
	Yeah, Thursday and Tuesday.
	And then you'll have, she'll be on today.
	Really?
	And I think this is a good choice.
	Yeah, I have not seen her.
	I've seen her, but not really in the context of her game.
	Yeah, when you see her, you're going to go, oh, okay, this is more like it.
	Except for that binder.
	She's obviously not going to do off-the-cuff remarks, except rarely.
	I have one more thing.
	By the way, the last thing I should mention, the place was packed to the gills.
	You know, we watch the State Department.
	No, they're not full.
	No, people are half asleep.
	It's like dull.
	But this was packed to the gills.
	Excellent.
	Back on the beat.
	Back on the beat.
	I mean, I have twice the amount of show.
	We're going to have to move a lot to Sunday.
	But I did want to ask you.
	Do you know, without looking it up, do you know the name of the new Apple product that was announced?
	It's funny because Horowitz and I talked about this on DH Unplugged, about the Apple announcements.
	And all I remember is that they have a new pad that's a pound.
	You saw the speaker thing for your home.
	Yeah, I did.
	I saw that.
	Do you remember the name?
	Ooh.
	Ooh.
	No, and I think that's a flaw.
	Thank you!
	You ask anyone, they'll say iHome, and even though iHome exists, Apple could buy that company and poop them out and not give a crap.
	Almost.
	It's called the HomePod.
	The stupidest name.
	This, to me, is the pivot.
	This is where Apple went completely off the deep end.
	HomePod.
	I don't care about what it does, what it can do.
	You break the iBrand.
	You broke it.
	And you make it into a pod?
	No.
	This is very, very poor branding.
	Poor marketing.
	And brought to you by a very...
	Unenthusiastic kind of guy.
	Short Apple, I say.
	Well, I think when the market turns around, which should be within the next 12 months, I don't mean turn around a little bit.
	I mean turn around, a Dow down 30%.
	Yeah, which will happen.
	Yes.
	Well, it's bound to happen.
	It happens all the time.
	Why wouldn't it happen?
	And so when that happens, I believe Apple should draw...
	I have to number someplace.
	I was doing some research on where Apple's going to head because long-term puts are very attractive, which is the easiest way.
	And also, what phrase did Apple...
	Because I watched the whole thing, and it was very boring to me, and I've been a Mac guy all my life.
	Apple guy, I should say.
	Although I've recently started using Windows, Windows 10, for specific applications, and I find myself on Windows 10 a lot more.
	It's just snappy, it's kind of not offensive.
	But the thing they said, oh, I didn't clip it, over and over, machine learning.
	This is the buzzword, John, machine learning.
	You didn't catch that, huh?
	Hmm.
	I did kind of catch it.
	I mean, there's been so much of that.
	That term's been used so much in the industry all around.
	Everybody's all jacked up about it.
	Meanwhile, they changed their entire podcasting app.
	They're changing the way feeds are made, I think, because I don't want to be arrogant, but you guys know where I am.
	How hard would it be to ping me and say, hey, take a look at this?
	Do you have any input?
	I'm sure they didn't reach out to Dave Weiner.
	But no.
	They're changing the...
	I don't know if it's...
	I'm sure it'll be backwards compatible, but you know how that goes.
	For how long?
	And then we all have to switch to Apple's freaking format.
	Maybe that's why they didn't show it to me.
	Maybe.
	I don't like it.
	I don't like it.
	I'm getting that impression.
	It's not a personal thing.
	It's just, you know, we let these guys into our game because, you know, and it was kind of sad from the get-go because Apple's like, yeah, podcasting!
	And then, you know, they flooded the whole podcastosphere with NPR and other mainstream 5M content.
	But they support everybody, and now, I don't know.
	It's all a part of the MP3 is dead.
	We've all got to be Apple, AAC, and their special feeds.
	Anything to protect content.
	I'm going to fight against it.
	I'll have none of it.
	Alright, three minute warning.
	Wow.
	Tucker with Mark Stein.
	Yeah, I get to talk with Mark Stein.
	Who is this guy?
	I like he's Scandinavian, no?
	Oh, Mark Stein's been around the right-wing talk...
	Talkosphere.
	He's been around for decades.
	He's incredibly erudite.
	I think he's got a couple degrees or something.
	He's very hard to debate.
	The girls love him.
	He's got that kind of faux-British accent, kind of an in-between Canadian.
	He's a Canadian, but he's got a British accent.
	The girls love him, man.
	So, Mark, here you have a president who invited Al Sharpton to the White House as a domestic policy advisor more than 80 times, lecturing us about ethnic politics and tribalism.
	Like, self-awareness somehow doesn't exist for this guy?
	No, he always does this bloodless Mr.
	Spock routine that everyone else is motivated.
	I think they showed Obama in Canada just before this piece with Stein.
	And yeah, Obama was, he was, when you think about it, he is totally doing a Spock.
	Mr.
	Spock routine that everyone else is motivated by emotions and opinions.
	And he is the only one who uses reason and logic.
	And he does this whole kind of dispassionate thing.
	Apparently there's a big market for it in Montreal.
	6,000 people showed up to hear this speech.
	I think there's never been a better time to be a unilingual francophone in Quebec.
	Because everything he said was a condescending, superior put-down of the world he left behind, essentially.
	Well, that's really the question.
	Does he understand the world he left behind?
	He hates Donald Trump.
	Donald Trump got elected because of Barack Obama.
	I wonder if he knows that.
	Right.
	Yeah, the world has gone nuts, man.
	I tell you.
	Well, here's the clips of the Obama ramble, which preceded this little thing you played, where I just thought it was priceless the way Tucker comes out of it.
	The world is at an inflection point.
	We are going to be inviting in those who argue that democracy doesn't work, that restrictions on the press are necessary, and that intolerance and tribalism and organizing ourselves along ethnic lines are the answer to today's challenges.
	And extreme nationalism and xenophobia and the politics of us versus them.
	Isolationism or nationalism, where they can suggest rolling back the rights of others.
	Openness to immigrants and refugees.
	That's fundamental to who we are.
	I'm convinced that the future does not belong to strongmen.
	Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa.
	Is that where it came from?
	Blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Yeah, it was good.
	It was good.
	It was funny.
	Yeah, no, I... Look, I'm just gauging Tina.
	She loves...
	You know who she loves?
	She loves Tucker...
	Well, not loves.
	Tucker, but she really likes Krauthammer.
	And...
	Who's the guy with the long head?
	Hume.
	Britt Hume.
	Oh, Britt Hume, yeah.
	And I have to say, because I watch all of it, Jesse Waters is doing a pretty good job on The Five, which is hard to watch.
	It's just...
	No, it's because they're just...
	I don't know.
	They're that glib style of right-wing.
	It is just really hard to watch.
	And then they throw the token token in there.
	He's a double token.
	He's a Democrat and black.
	It's fantastic.
	If you're gay and Jewish, it'd be even better.
	Token, token, token, token.
	It would be good.
	And he's a good guy.
	And he's a good guy, but it's like, come on already.
	He's a little...
	He has that same kind of arrogance.
	What's his name again?
	What's his name again?
	Yeah, what's his name?
	That's his name.
	Yeah, that guy.
	Bernard Shaw.
	Whatever happened to Bernard Shaw?
	What?
	George Bernard Shaw?
	He died a long time ago.
	No, no, no.
	Bernard Shaw.
	Remember, he was the big CNN host.
	Yeah, he's...
	Did he die?
	I don't know.
	Maybe.
	Just went away.
	Hmm.
	I have three possible last clips.
	Okay, I'll take any one.
	But if we're voting, what do you got?
	I got the CBD story, the spelling bee girl, which is a cute human interest story, but we can play that later.
	The AT&T scams customers like the old days.
	It has to be the scam clip.
	A growing number of cell phone customers are complaining they're being moved to new more expensive plans without their permission.
	Julie Watts has the story of one man's surprise switch.
	In January that I started getting the text messages.
	And Al Stilo quickly realized his granddaughter's phone was to blame.
	But just as he was about to double his family plan's data limit for an extra ten bucks a month, he says the rep offered a better solution.
	She said, I can do something to slow down her data usage and it won't cost you anything.
	Al agreed to give it a try, but when he opened his next bill, he got a surprise.
	The plan had been changed.
	AT&T had switched out to a new mobile share advantage plan, which doubled the base price of each line and added fees.
	And when he called to complain, he says AT&T explained once you switch, you can't go back.
	I didn't authorize any change.
	And he's not alone.
	We requested wireless complaint data from the FCC regarding switching phone plans without permission.
	AT&T accounts for more than 37% of all complaints.
	Verizon a close second at 25.
	Sprint accounts for 22% and T-Mobile 15.
	Less than 10% of the people actually file complaints.
	Anna Montez of the utility watchdog group TURN says this type of thing happens more than most realize.
	Part of the reason for wanting to switch people to new plans is because the phone companies does make more money off a customer.
	In a statement, AT&T said, we want every customer interaction to be perfect and we'll never stop working to get better.
	As for Al?
	I just felt that I was being handled very poorly.
	Now, after we got involved, AT&T did credit his account and switch him back to his old grandfather plan.
	In San Francisco, I'm Julie Watts.
	Wow.
	All right, John, you gotta say it.
	It's a scam.
	Now, this is...
	More or less, these guys' mentality, this is the, what are we going to do now that we can't slam our customers, which is what it was called.
	It's called phone slamming, yeah.
	Phone slamming, so they put you on these plans that you didn't want, you never ordered, and they said, well, we're going to record this just in case, and people wouldn't do anything about it.
	These guys are criminals.
	They're crooks.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	They're breaking the law.
	And then you have guys, the customer service guys say, oh, well, you switched.
	We tricked you into it, but you can't switch back.
	That's bull crap.
	You can switch back.
	Why can't you switch back?
	Whose rule is this?
	So they can't even...
	These guys are dishonest.
	They really don't dislike these companies, and I wish they would throw some of these CEOs in jail for a weekend.
	I mean, they're not going to get them years and years sentences that they need.
	There you go, everybody.
	Nothing like a JCD rant at the very end of the show.
	It's a scam!
	It's a scam!
	Alright, everybody, we will be back on Sunday with another jam-packed episode of the best podcast in the universe.
	We continue to guard your reality as best as possible, despite the syphilis.
	Getting harder by the day.
	Coming to you from downtown Austin, Texas, here in the common law condo in the Cludio.
	FEMA Region 6 on the governmental maps in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where...
	And by the way, did anyone notice that the Warriors won the AIM-3 in this thing and may just sweep the entire playoffs?
	Well, I did.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We will return on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
	Adios, mofos!
	Don't worry. Please help me. Don't
	worry. Please help me. Don't worry. Please help me. Please help me. Please
	help me.
	Please help me. Don't worry. Please help me. Please help me. Don't worry. Please
	help me. Please help me. Please help me. Please help me. Don't worry. Please help me. Please help me.
	P.F.U. P.F.U.
	P.F.U.
	Like I've met its obligations according to me.
	I feel so great about...
	Global average temperature less than two...
	Pakistan or Africa.
	It's climate benefit.
	It's space.
	It's need to bring London and...
	Anything for science.
	The emergency services were just phenomenal.
	At some point you have to look at them.
	Cowardly, evil people.
	They're not meeting their obligations.
	We just met its obligations.
	On the streets of October.
	Global average temperature less than...
	People of Manchester have inspired our... 100 degrees.
	To read... 404 comes in.
	Rebels that regulate types.
	Wallets, whatever.
	Flabbergasting.
	Flabbergasted.
	Thank you.
	Okay.
	Kiwis and Aussies have asked Adam to please come visit us here in the Antipodes.
	So he's agreed to sojourn to the ends of the earth.
	New Zealand, Australia, on a trip with no purpose.
	From the top of MT to Tassie below, Queensland, South Australia, here live stream our show.
	And while Sydney and Melbourne still argue who's best, the folks who miss out, they all live in the West.
	Now Adam's our mate, and I'm sure there's a reason, because on a podcaster's wage, you have to travel off-season.
	And the logistics to traverse Australia's white girth is probably why he's not visiting Perth.
	Like a life without bacon or a pub with no beer and all the sad things I could be listing off here.
	But I wrote this jingle for some laughter and mer and call Adam Dushbag for not visiting Perth.
	Call Adam Dushbag For not visiting Perth Dushbag Dushbag I got ants.
	I got ants.
	I don't know if he had ants.
	We had ant invasion.
	I was thinking if you desiccated a big pile of ants and then ground them to a powder like a fine grind of black pepper, we were having dinner and I got an ant somehow in the meal and I ate it.
	These things are peppery.
	I got ants.
	These ants, they don't need a lot.
	And then you see, you find all the ones that are roaming around you.
	Although I backed them off by doing the burning trick.
	You just torch them.
	And you leave them there.
	The only ant, there are occasional moments where there's an ant that you do not torch, and that's an ant that's carrying one of the dead ants back.
	I got ants.
	Ants.
	Ants. Ants.
	Oh my God.
	I'm the nutter.
	Podcast in the universe.
	I Adios, mofo.
