	They even posted about it on Facebook.
	People put their poop on Facebook.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	And Thursday, July 20th, 2017, this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 9 or 4, 8.
	This is no agenda.
	Ridling the dipshit algos in a lame-ass tack, and coming to you from the darkest corners of the internet in the capital of the drone star state in the Clunio in the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm following the reptilian cults.
	I'm so happy to hear you say that.
	Because the first thing I thought was, what's the name of the cult?
	Give me some reporting on this.
	I need to know.
	The reptilian cult?
	Yeah.
	I mean, you're referring to the girl who shot her boyfriend?
	Yeah.
	And because you thought that the leader of the cult they were a member of was a reptile?
	It was a reptile that was mind-controlling him, so she had to blow his brains out.
	Nice.
	Please shoot me!
	What was the name of the cult?
	Well, let me read the story.
	The thing is, they never...
	Well, they do kind of say the cult.
	No, I didn't.
	I could not find the name.
	I had other things to do, so I stopped looking after a while.
	I had other things to do.
	I did have a life, basically.
	The cult's kind of named in the clip, but let me read this first.
	I do have a clip, which I think names the cult.
	A woman shot her boyfriend in the head after he asked her to kill him because he thought the leader of a cult they belonged to was a reptile posing as a human, police said.
	This is Associated Press, by the way, so it's got to be true.
	It's the Democratic Party.
	That's the cult.
	I got you.
	Exactly.
	Barbara Rogers finally shot...
	Fatally.
	Not finally.
	Finally shot her.
	Finally shot her boyfriend, Stephen Mineo, in the...
	I want to say it related to Sal Mineo.
	A little reference there.
	In the forehead from Point Blank Range on Saturday in their apartment in Cool Ball Township about 100 miles north of Philadelphia.
	All right, come on, get back to it.
	Rogers told officers many of 32 was having online issues with the cult and asked her to kill him.
	This is a great excuse.
	That's a real day wrecker.
	She said her boyfriend believed the cult's leader to be a reptilian, pretending to be human.
	The group centers on aliens and raptures.
	Online posting associated with the cult details a group of alien reptiles that's subverting the human race.
	It says that through mind control.
	I'm telling you, I'm telling you, it's not in there.
	Let me play your clip, maybe to have it in there.
	Barbara Rogers of Coolbaugh Township is charged with homicide in the death of her boyfriend, Stephen Mineo.
	Authorities say Rogers shot Mineo early Saturday morning here at their home on Laurel Drive near Toby Hanna.
	At this point, we're still looking into really what the motive is.
	What we do know at this point is that Barbara Rogers had the gun in her hand.
	She placed that gun to Mr.
	Mineo's forehead and pulled the trigger.
	Authorities say the shot was fired at close range.
	According to court documents, Rogers said Mineo asked her to shoot him due to a problem with an online cult called Sherry Shriver.
	Its website describes the cult as centering on...
	What's it called?
	Sherry Shriver?
	What's it called?
	Sherry Shriver.
	Sherry Shriver.
	She sounds like one of the Kennedys.
	It could be a cult.
	Exactly.
	If you're going to have a cult, this is not the name to go with.
	Sherry Shriver.
	I'm going to roll it back one second.
	It's Sherry Shriver.
	Sherry Shriver.
	Is it Sergeant Shriver?
	I think it's Shriver.
	Like, leave Shriver.
	Shriver.
	Describes the cult as centering on aliens and raptures.
	Authorities tell News Watch 16 Rogers did admit that there were some tensions between the couple because of the cult.
	They even posted about it on Facebook.
	Now investigators are looking at those...
	What kind of line is that?
	They even posted about it on Facebook.
	People put their poop on Facebook.
	That's some big deal.
	Oh, you're having marital problems.
	They even posted it on Facebook.
	Now investigators are looking at those Facebook posts as well as other online activities to try and determine what led to this shooting.
	Court paperwork shows that Rogers called 911 early Saturday morning and said she had shot Meneo and that he was dead.
	Pocono Mountain Regional Police Chief Chris Wagner says this is a domestic incident gone bad.
	Certainly every case is specific as to what the motivation is and to the circumstances around it, but it's not very uncommon to have a domestic relationship go bad.
	Yeah, it's almost over.
	Rogers is locked up.
	Done, done, done, done.
	Stretch, stretch, stretch.
	It's the worst reporters ever.
	What do you expect for Channel 150 or whatever it was?
	Let's just get out of this story.
	Because we've got some problems with the algos and the tech today.
	I need to talk about it.
	Before we get out of that story, I do want to say that it's interesting how Associated Press left the name of the cult out.
	A, and B, the news report left out the part about mind control.
	That was the best part, too.
	Yeah, I thought so.
	Okay.
	All right, here's what's going on.
	You apparently have lost your ability to tweet.
	Yes, I have.
	And, you know, when I tweet nine times out of ten, I do it through the Freedom Controller, which to Twitter is no more or less than an app that uses the, I guess it's OAuth or whatever their API is.
	It's an approved app.
	And so I can use that with one entry.
	I can tweet it out to Twitter and toot it out to noagendasocial.com.
	And I did the same thing I usually do, and it didn't show up.
	It did show up on the Mastodon server, so I go look, and it's like, okay, I'll just do it manually.
	So I click on Tweet on the webpage there, and maybe let's do it again.
	Maybe it'll happen one more time.
	Hold on a second.
	So this is what we typically do just before we go live, is I have a little pre-configured piece of text here, which says, you know, we're live now with no agenda, then episode number.
	Here we go.
	And then it also tags the bat signal, and I'm going to add the artwork, which I had prepared.
	I'm going to tweet now.
	Click.
	And let's see what it says.
	This request looks like it might be automated to protect our users from spam and other malicious activity.
	We can't complete this action right now.
	Please try again later.
	Okay, here's what I'm thinking.
	You've been doing this for twice a week for the last five years.
	At least, at least.
	At least, maybe who knows how long.
	And the model, the template is identical, one after the other.
	It's exactly the same, except the image changes and the episode number changes.
	Everything else is the same.
	Yeah, that's the only two things that change.
	You have two variables.
	I think it's the Elgo.
	I think whatever it is they have, their crawler, whatever they're using, they've seen this over and over and over again.
	They say, oh, this is bull.
	Spam.
	Spam's got to be spam.
	Spam.
	It's got to be spam.
	Yeah.
	Spam.
	If you rearranged the whole thing, I bet you it would come through.
	Alright, okay.
	Let's try that.
	So, I'll do...
	I'm just going to completely...
	Start with this sentence, because Twitter thinks I'm spamming.
	Twitter thinks I'm spamming, okay.
	And then I'll do my little line of...
	We're live now.
	Now, the question is, should I try a different image?
	I don't think the image...
	Personally, I don't think the image is the issue.
	Okay, tweet.
	Let's go.
	Undefined is not an object.
	Evaluating E.code.
	What does that even mean?
	I don't know.
	Let me try again.
	Let me try a fresh tweet.
	Try a fresh image, too.
	This is a very...
	A fresh image?
	Okay.
	How about just no image?
	Okay.
	Yeah, no image.
	Okay, no image.
	All right.
	Sorry, comic book blogger.
	Yeah, here we go.
	Tweet.
	Same thing.
	Please try again later.
	You're a bot!
	You're a bot!
	Curry, you're a bot!
	Maybe you are.
	Maybe it's all these years.
	Who knew?
	Who knew that I was really a bot?
	I'm sorry, Twitter.
	All right, so that doesn't work.
	But a little more egregious.
	As you know, this swanky apartment in the sky that Tina the Keeper and I inhabit, co-inhabitation, comes with Nest installed.
	Nest.
	By the way, can you hear the fan blowing in the background?
	That'll just set you up a little bit as to what's going on here.
	Yeah, let me preface it by saying my wife...
	Bought a Nest, all the smoke alarm system, put it in the house because she was sold a bill of goods.
	And the whole thing, they all talk to each other.
	So one of them goes off, they all go off, and apparently she couldn't get them to stop going off.
	She had to take them all back.
	It was a terrible system.
	Oh, so they're like Furbies.
	Yes.
	All right, so we're on vacation, and Tina's daughters were alternating staying here once in a while.
	We only have two plants to keep alive, so that's pretty easy.
	But on the Nest app, I can see we've got a nice 73 degrees inside.
	That's nice, you know, when you're not around.
	The kids know how to turn it down if they want to.
	And so we're gone for, what, almost three weeks.
	Come back and walk in the house like...
	Mind you, it's 100 degrees in Texas right now.
	Man, it's warm, man.
	It seems to be 73.
	But then I look, you know, the Nest is not exactly the easiest thing to decode little numbers everywhere.
	No, no.
	Why don't you just turn it, turn it, turn it to the left.
	Yeah, but of course.
	Well, hold on a second.
	That's the temperature you're going for, is the big number in the middle.
	And then it says 77.
	I say, yeah, it feels like 77 here.
	This is too warm.
	I don't like it.
	I need to sleep at 68.
	So I turn it down to 66.
	It could be an hour or two later.
	I'm like, man, it's still warm in here.
	And I'm like, this thing, I don't think it's working.
	So then I started to mess with all the settings, you know, do the auto mode with a cool limit.
	I get so sick with it last night, I turned it all the way to the left 50.
	All right, cool, 50, super blow for humanity.
	Anything I can do, anything.
	And it's warm last night.
	I wake up and it's 77, 78.
	Now, of course, I put an emergency request last night for the building, which, you know, they think 12 hours is pretty emergency-like.
	The guy shows up this morning and he says, oh, yeah, well, you know, you're out of Freon and that's why it's not cooling.
	I get a big block of ice and we can't change or recharge the system until that's melted.
	So we have to turn off the air conditioning.
	What's the big block of ice?
	What are they talking about?
	Yeah, but I guess the way the system works is when the Freon, you know, the pressure's not there, then this ice builds up around the cooling elements, and there's no Freon.
	So there's ice now, and the ice has to be melted, but that means you have to turn off the whole system.
	So now we're like 80 degrees inside.
	Oh, geez.
	Yeah, it's 100 outside, so it's just burning on the windows.
	But my question is this.
	Google alphabets.
	Why does the Nest not even recognize there's a problem going on?
	Even the simple algorithm of, you've had this setting at 73 for two weeks now, it's still 77, blip, blip, blip, blip, maybe there's a problem?
	No, that's not even in there.
	It's a very disappointing piece of technology.
	It's overpriced.
	Well, yeah, it's fine.
	But it's just, it's ridiculous.
	And this morning I said...
	Now what's this about the fan going?
	Oh, you have a fan to cool you off?
	Yeah, just a little USB fan.
	Yeah, just to keep me cool.
	USB fan.
	That's going to do the trick.
	Yeah.
	It's going to cool off your hand, your finger.
	My pinky.
	My jingle pinky right here.
	So, anyway, that's what's going on here.
	The technology is failing us.
	And it's not going to get any better.
	But I will say...
	Wow, what a discovery.
	You recall we went through all these problems in Italy to get bandwidth, essentially.
	And by the time we left, I still had 10 gigabits on the SIM card.
	And we go to France, and I have a couple other things to say before that, but we go to France, turn it on, you know, as of June 15th, the new roaming agreements went into effect in the EU. And I remember this being an issue in 2004.
	It took them 13 years to get this together.
	There's no additional roaming costs from one European state to the next.
	And it works, even on the prepaid card.
	So, T-Mobile, suck it!
	Suck it!
	Why would I pay, what is it, 30 or 40 bucks a month extra to have your non-existent 4G in den Auslanden?
	No, that's not true.
	All you need to do is get one SIM card, and it works all over Europe with 4G LTE speeds, perfectly okay.
	We actually could have done the show.
	I found a spot where the dongle had enough LTE bars to actually get some bandwidth.
	But it's really cool.
	Forget these international plans.
	Get off them.
	You don't need them anymore.
	Just get a little dongle, buy a prepaid SIM card in any country, and it seems to work across all borders.
	A very pleasant surprise.
	Well, that's good to know.
	Handy tip.
	Very, very handy tip.
	And cheap.
	Yes.
	Well, comparatively.
	Very happy to announce that Milan perhaps has listened to this podcast.
	Not that we were in Milan, but we complained bitterly about the use of selfie sticks in Florence, Italy.
	And Milan has now banned the use of selfie sticks.
	Yes, good for them.
	Which is very good.
	Very, very good.
	So let's go and do our, this is for people who haven't caught up, we did an Evergreen show last time.
	Which more people liked than expected, actually.
	Yes, I think the majority of people liked it.
	One or two grousers came in saying, hey!
	Yeah, no, stop it.
	Do a real show!
	You lazy asses!
	Do a real show, I was to say.
	One guy said it sucked, and another guy said he couldn't listen to the whole thing.
	And that was it.
	They were both males, too, which I thought was interesting.
	One of the millennials in my life, I mentioned, she's straddling, but still in the B-zone.
	Really liked all the Obama stuff.
	I'd never heard it before.
	I thought it was hilarious, the if-if-if-if-if-if-if.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	I was surprised.
	Everybody just kind of liked it.
	And, of course, I got a million new submissions from producers for end of show.
	It's really stimulated them, which I'm very happy about.
	Good.
	Well, that's an interesting plus.
	So, we didn't do the show.
	I went to Hollywood.
	Yes.
	And I do have some Hollywood reporting.
	Okay.
	I got to visit some of my friends who are on the other side of the camera, so I got to go behind the scenes.
	The other side of the camera.
	Behind the scenes.
	I have some, I think, some relatively interesting Euro news.
	And by the way, I'm teasing it a little bit because...
	I've noticed something, an interesting trend.
	Like my producer friend, Jen Lavin, I've just mentioned her name.
	I noticed that everybody...
	I talked about your show on the No Agenda show.
	They always say the same thing.
	Did you mention my name?
	Please, whatever you do, don't mention my name on that show of yours.
	No, no, they want their name mentioned.
	Oh, they want the name?
	Doesn't she work for E? Yeah, she works for E. And so I realized that now I can...
	Because I met a couple...
	I met the E! News presenters.
	Fantastic.
	All of them?
	Did you meet all of them?
	I've met a lot of people.
	I'm going to mention their names later in the show.
	But did you meet Juliana?
	Juliana wasn't there.
	Oh, man.
	I met Kat Sadler.
	Okay.
	Boom, boom, boom.
	We'll put the crucial information later in the show because they're going to listen.
	I realize that now.
	I have a couple people who are going to be listening as well because there were a couple things that went down in the final portion of our vacation which actually turned into a proper vacation since we didn't have a show on Sunday giving us Friday, Saturday and Sunday to actually relax and Then, enjoy the fruits that Saint-Tropez has to offer.
	But first, we flew from Florence to Nice, which, as we discussed, was kind of the best way to go.
	And there's something very irritating about the differences in aviation in the United States and Europe, or even international aviation.
	Well, certainly in France, but in Florence, it seems they've changed.
	I don't know if they've adapted or if it was always this way, but It used to be, you know, we have 50 pounds of luggage.
	Your luggage, each piece is allowed to weigh 50 pounds.
	23 kilos is the norm for that.
	In Europe, I thought, but no.
	I thought it was 44 in Europe.
	They've changed it to 15 kilos.
	What?
	Yeah, okay, that's what, 30?
	Yeah, that's like 30-something kilos?
	Which, you know, that's not a lot.
	That's nothing.
	So we had to buy an extra suitcase, which you wind up, of course, paying for.
	You know my old trick?
	I still have my KLM gold card from 2011.
	So whenever there's a premium service and they are partners with Air France, Air France bought them, and Delta Airlines, we've been through the whole thing that that's all bullcrap and nothing integrates.
	So, you know, there's a big line at Florence.
	We just take this one here.
	We just walk in, you know, flash the card.
	And you immediately get all these, you know, it's like, well, they'll start checking you in.
	But they're like, well, we can't give you the suitcase, the extra suitcase for free.
	You have to pay 70 euros because it says here that you're ivory.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I'm not gold.
	I'm ivory, which is the bottom rung.
	That means you just bought a ticket at the counter.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And I said, well, you know, and it's true, because I showed her the ticket from Delta.
	I'm KLM Silver, according to Delta.
	And they get so befuddled, you just say, nah, you know, it's all messed up, but it's okay, until you wind up getting the free bag anyway.
	So, again, you just got to pretend like you know what you're talking about.
	That's the big deal.
	Now, luckily...
	That I didn't have to pay anything extra because right around this transition to the next country, to France, my credit card turned up with a fraudulent charge from Chipotle.
	Someone bought something at Chipotle online with my credit card.
	And I can tell you one thing for sure.
	I didn't buy anything from Chipotle online.
	But if you go back and look around June, Chipotle...
	Why would somebody use a fraudulent, use a stolen credit card to buy something online?
	From Chipotle, and not just from Chipotle, but Chipotle online.
	Yeah, a gift card.
	It's a gift card, I think.
	Oh, they hate...
	Okay, I don't want to go into Chipotle.
	Not a fan.
	But I look online, and somewhere in June, Chipotle's point of sale got hacked, and I remember specifically, I had one lunch with Christina who begged me, and that, you know, swiped my card there, and boom, it got hacked.
	Chipotle's...
	People keep dropping dead from eating there.
	Yeah.
	That's what I told her.
	She said, ah, Dad, I'm not worried about it.
	This is a kid who's afraid when the plane shudders a bit while flying.
	But no, I'll have Chipotle and poop my guts out.
	It could be a burrito place.
	But this triggered a whole bunch of problems, John, because you only have one card.
	All services, everything is on this card.
	And shit just starts going, poop, poop, poop, poop.
	Boom, boom, fail, ping, ping, ping.
	Servers, bandwidth charges, you know, forget using an Uber anywhere.
	Everything's just broken.
	Broken.
	It's really, really horrible when this happens.
	And it reminds me of how stupid it is just to have this, well, I guess centralized maybe is problem one, although I just don't want a whole bunch of credit cards.
	You know, but a cashless society is not a good thing.
	Really not a very good thing.
	There's all kinds of stuff going on with that.
	So you're still screwed.
	Well, I finally got...
	They had a card waiting for me when I got back.
	But when you're in international travels, it's difficult.
	Well, I have a debit card, but you know how the debit card is.
	Like, no.
	Oh, it's in charge from international charge?
	No.
	So you wind up calling the bank a lot for stuff.
	Well, I had, like we talked about on the show a couple years ago, when I had my entire passport and wallet and everything stolen by gypsy pickpockets in Madrid.
	And...
	I was stuck there for a couple of extra days, and then I had to go to the State Department to get another passport.
	But I did get another American Express.
	I went over to the grouchy American Express Service Center, and they made a card right there for me.
	But anyway, so on to kind of like the media deconstruction part of what I have to tell about the rest of our journey.
	We stayed with my friend Michelle.
	He has the clubs in Guilford where we used to live.
	We've been friends for about 12, 13 years.
	And he has this Really great house in San Rafael, which is kind of in between Nice and Saint-Tropez.
	And he always has interesting people staying over.
	And Carol, who is a very good friend of his, and I've known her, she also had a bar in Guilford.
	It's a very small town.
	And she's actually the one married to the hotelier in Barbados.
	I think we talked about him.
	We do.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Get to the point.
	Yeah, we have, because he's the guy that, it was too bad he wasn't there, because he's the guy that has sleep apnea and just keeps falling asleep during the conversation.
	He's so fun.
	It's called narcolepsy.
	Narcolepsy.
	Well, that's sleep apnea snoring.
	I think he has that too.
	Anyway, he wasn't there, unfortunately, but Carol was there, and Carol is completely nuts about the British royal family.
	And just within an hour of arriving, of course, we're in the pool, we're drinking rum punches, and she says, Adam, are you a Trump supporter then?
	And it dawned on me for the first time, maybe it was the accent, the concept of being a Trump supporter, this is now an actual term.
	Is that prevalent in the U.S.? They say Trump supporter.
	Is that what we're doing here?
	Not that I know of.
	Yeah, because I immediately said, well, I support my president.
	I mean, maybe there's something going on.
	I mean, you get...
	It's the news media that's framed that, because I remember them starting to talk about Trump supporters.
	We did a couple of clips on this a couple of shows ago.
	But mind you, it's not voter.
	It's not Trump voter.
	No, it's supporter.
	It's supporter.
	These are the people, this is the group of people that 85% Whatever Trump does is great.
	Those are the so-called Trump supporters.
	And they keep showing up in the polls because the media keeps wanting to slam Trump with, nobody likes the guy, except for these people.
	And those are the Trump supporters, and they're all idiots.
	Yeah, and I could feel this immediately.
	I've delayed no agenda smack on him before because I've known her such a long time.
	But this is a different situation because I certainly haven't seen them since the entire election cycle.
	And Michelle's always messing around.
	I can deal with him easy.
	But Carol, she's like, are you a Trump supporter?
	Kind of like aghast.
	You know, like, oh my God.
	He has leprosy.
	What are we going to do?
	I could see she was torn.
	Do I give it mouth to mouth?
	What should we do?
	I said, well, Carol, I support my president, but you know what I do.
	I deconstruct the media, and there's a lot of bullcrap.
	And yeah, I think that you're being fed a lot of baloney.
	And what was interesting across the board with anybody I met in France, they very quickly, they have the awareness that they really don't have any facts.
	And maybe that's specific with the British because, you know, they know how...
	In fact, she likened a Trump supporter to someone who reads the Daily Mail.
	She said, you know, if you read the Daily Mail in the UK, people will turn their noses up at you just like you're a Trump supporter.
	So that's kind of how you have to see this.
	But when I just started to talk about, oh, well, you know, how about, you know, what about this?
	And I'll just say, well, I think this is what happened, what we kind of deducted, deduced from really looking into it.
	They listened.
	They're pretty eager to listen.
	And I did appreciate that.
	But it got really...
	What were they listening to?
	What did you have to say?
	Well, just across the board, you know, they really have zero information, and they're very quick to admit, yeah, you know, we really don't know.
	I mean, this is what the media tells us, and yeah, the media shit.
	This is funny, because when I was down in L.A. hanging out with the Hollywood types who you'd think were all the Trump haters...
	It never came up in the conversation.
	It was very similar to what you're saying, except no one was accusatory.
	Well, it got really interesting when we went to Club Sank on Sank, which is, this is in Central Pay, and of course my buddy Michelle can always get us a table, but in this case, two extra people were joining us, and they were friends of Carol, and you can look him up, Stephen Saltzman, And his girlfriend, Carolyn.
	Now, Stephen Saltzman is son of, was it Henry Saltzman, the James Bond producer?
	It was him and Cubby Broccoli.
	The two of them produced all the James Bond movies.
	May have been Henry, I'm not sure.
	I think it was Henry.
	And he grew up in Monaco, pretty much.
	Why not?
	Yes, he was pre-sold to me kind of as a fixer.
	I'm like, okay, this is an interesting guy.
	And he runs this huge fair just before Formula One with all the newest cars and watches.
	The one in Monaco.
	Yeah, that's his show.
	Which we're invited to.
	I'm in.
	Yeah, me too.
	He had the flying car, the auto gyro.
	I'm like, yeah, let me fly that thing, man.
	I'm there.
	And as we're kind of sitting down, you know, Club Sank on Sank is very famous for, you know, for people spotting.
	And there was celebrities were on their way in because next weekend, actually this weekend now, sadly we've timed it poorly, Leonardo DiCaprio's big benefit takes place in San Tropez.
	Which is the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.
	And they were building this, in a winery, this huge structure.
	You know, just not a party tent.
	It had actual aluminum beams.
	And you could see a massive stage.
	And I think it's $10,000 a head or $100,000 a table.
	Wow.
	What's the carbon footprint on that thing?
	Well, and of course, everyone flies in with their jets and the helicopter and their boats mainly.
	They just back the boats up there.
	And this is all in the main area of where this Club Sank on Sank is.
	But, yeah, and I'm like, well, this would be a very interesting guy to talk to.
	I'm curious.
	And he's a very, you know, larger-than-life personality.
	You're talking about Saltzman.
	Yeah, foodie.
	Like, he actually had an extra shirt with him because he knew that he would spill all the food on his shirt.
	Ah, decadent, too.
	Decadent, very decadent.
	And there are two people from New York behind us.
	And as we're sitting down, you know, he's talking to them.
	Oh, that's fake news.
	That's fake news.
	I'm like, oh, shit, here we go.
	This is going to be one of those moments.
	And within three minutes, Carol has already said...
	Adam's a Trump supporter, aren't you, Adam?
	I'm like, oh no!
	I said no, but instead of, now, I think I've mentioned on the show that during the election cycle, I donated to the Clinton campaign, I donated to the Trump campaign.
	And you can go look it up, I'm sure it's on OpenSecret somewhere.
	And I, you know, that's mainly for the show.
	I want to get as much information as possible, and we want all the mailings.
	This is what we do.
	And when the Trump campaign came up with the special offer, which was this Trump gold card with your name on it for a donation, I'm like, I gotta have one of those.
	So I have this thing in my wallet.
	I'm like, I'm gonna get you.
	So I pull it out and said, oh yeah, I'm a super Trump supporter.
	It's like, you could have heard a pin drop.
	I never heard about this.
	You never mentioned it.
	Oh, I thought I did.
	So what did you have to pay for that thing?
	Oh, $150.
	Kind of high.
	Well, I would have given $100, so a little extra to get the card.
	And you could have heard a pin drop.
	And he says, you know...
	Oh, God.
	Yeah, he says, you know...
	This sounds like a gem of a moment.
	Oh, I said, I'm sitting next to an actual...
	Card-carrying Trump supporter!
	And now he's saying it out loud.
	He's waving the card around.
	I'm like, oh, boy.
	But it really, within just a minute or two, I'm like, man, you really don't know what you're talking about because you're just repeating stuff you've seen in the news.
	And he says, yeah, yeah, I guess you're right.
	He says, but you know who would have won?
	Who would have won?
	Bernie.
	Joe Biden.
	He says Joe Biden.
	Joe Biden.
	Actually, Joe Biden.
	He had a shot.
	I think he would have had a good shot.
	The problem with Joe Biden is that he has more skeletons in the closet.
	I mean, don't forget, he used to claim some phony baloney university degrees and plagiarized stuff years and years and years before he was vice president.
	He's really not.
	He knows it, too.
	He knows he can't run.
	But, you know, it was a very long conversation, but it was good.
	I think he thought it was very enlightening, and I could just see how easy it is, with just a few of a little no-agenda facts, how easy it is to show the Europeans, as it were, some light.
	And it worked really well.
	I was very surprised about it.
	So, just to kind of wind up the...
	Well, you know, the funny thing is, I've noticed this too, and I want to mention as new listeners, we're not Trump supporters.
	No, no.
	By any means.
	And but we what we're trying to do is get it kind of stabilize the news information that comes through.
	And it turns out that they're so poorly informed.
	And, you know, they listen to Maxine Waters yell about impeach, impeach, impeach.
	And they think that's a good thing.
	But let me she must know what she's talking about.
	Yeah, let's impeach him.
	Or they read some tweets from Carl Reiner, who goes off the deep end.
	But they don't really know anything.
	You just point out a few things, and especially about the news media being how bad it currently is.
	They don't argue with you.
	It's interesting you bring that up, and I'll just play this clip.
	It's reasonably short about Joy Reid, and some guy was on, and he launches into the Hillary Clinton uranium contract.
	Which, and he messed it up, no doubt about it, because he said, well, she sold 20% of them.
	Okay, dude, moron.
	You know, that's not how it went down.
	But there's definitely something to the story, certainly with the timing of $100 million coming into the Clinton Foundation.
	But listen to how she fact-checks it.
	Well, she's not really fact-checking it.
	What's happened, the control room is yelling in her ear.
	She has no idea what Snopes is, because someone just hears this.
	It's like, And she hears Snokes.
	She doesn't hear Snopes.
	She hears Snokes.
	Yeah, she corrects it later.
	But that's how you know that she has nothing.
	She's not fact-checking.
	They're just looking stuff up on the web on Snopes and yelling at other people.
	First of all, we're going to go through a few of the things that you said.
	The uranium comet is actually, I just looked up Snopes.com to make sure that I'm being completely accurate because that is a completely false claim that is peddled by many on the right.
	Now she's reading literally from the website.
	I'm not going to go into an entire reading exercise.
	That's what you're doing.
	If you look up on Snopes.com, they went through that.
	See, now she's got Snopes.
	It is actually not true that Hillary Clinton sold 20% of American uranium.
	I didn't say she sold it.
	I said she proved it.
	It's not true that there was anything untoward about Hillary Clinton and uranium in Russia.
	That's an entirely made-up conspiracy theory that the right...
	Entirely made up.
	It isn't true.
	We'll go through it a little bit later in the show.
	I want to have my producers grab that Snopes.com article, so we're going to table that for a minute.
	We will read to the audience, because that was actually just a false claim.
	It's the mighty NBC, ladies and gentlemen.
	That is the news resources of NBC passed on to its sister.
	Snopes.
	We're going to read Snopes and tell you that it's fact-check false, because you are just wrong, my friend.
	Fact-check false.
	Anyway.
	Unbelievable.
	Yeah.
	So...
	The dinner end or the lunch end, everything's great, and then we said, okay, let's go off to Bagatelle Beach.
	Bagatelle Beach, which is one of those open beach clubs.
	And, you know, it ends at like 8 p.m., and now it's, you know, like 6.30 or whatever.
	Okay, we'll go over there.
	Where, you know, a glass of rosé is 20 euros.
	20 euros.
	And now, my buddy Michelle, who was pretty much a horndog, he'd been chatting up some girls at Club 55, one of whom was Dutch, and of course you know what happens then.
	Oh, you were shouting to my friend over there!
	My friend over there!
	He's always pimping me out that way.
	It's okay.
	But one of these girls is now...
	And Tina and I are sitting down at a table and watching people dancing.
	We're having a good time.
	We're drinking a glass of rosé.
	And one of these girls, who was Dutch, is there.
	And she's drunk.
	I mean, she is shit-faced drunk.
	She's like, she comes over to me.
	This is what I hate when people pimp me out.
	And I'm polite.
	Okay, great.
	Hey, nice to meet you, whatever.
	And then she walks off and then she's dancing with her girlfriend and hits our table and the glasses break and there's rosé everywhere.
	I was like, okay, all right.
	Don't worry about it.
	And then she comes over like, eh.
	And now I'm like, please, just stop.
	And we get two new glasses of drink, a rosé, and we're sitting there.
	And she does it again.
	Boom.
	The table, the glasses, breaks everywhere, rosé.
	And now, like, you know, now we're up.
	And Tina, she's ready to clobber this woman.
	She should have.
	She comes over, and I push her away.
	And she's got some French friends, whatever.
	And now I'm like, get that out of my face.
	And so they kind of melt away in the background, and then we're sitting down at the third glass, and we're sitting down.
	And all of a sudden, I feel something really cold and really wet on my back, and I turn around, and there's the waiter pouring the entire contents of an ice cooler down the back of my shirt.
	Now I have my cowboy boots on.
	I get up and I'm a foot taller than anybody there.
	I'm like, oh, but sir, your friend's over there.
	They said you were a friend and they paid me to do that.
	And it was that woman with three French douchebags.
	And I'm just like, now I'm after.
	I was outrun by Tina.
	She's fists in the air.
	And I'm going to get me some French.
	I used to be a 95-pound weakling who got sand kicked in his face, but no longer.
	And so I go up to this guy and I start shoving him.
	Immediately, there's a seven foot tall Algerian security guard who, you know, of course jumps in.
	But then this Russian guy jumps in front of me and he says to the other people, I'm his lawyer!
	I'm his lawyer!
	We're going to sue this place!
	I'm his lawyer!
	Yes, okay, be calm.
	Everything's good.
	And it was so bizarre.
	And he wasn't a lawyer at all, of course, but he was, oh, I'm just diffusing the situation.
	And it was like a nightmare.
	What the heck went down there for a moment?
	And What?
	Yeah.
	And I was very proud of myself.
	Did you get to punch out anyone?
	Almost.
	But I was going to.
	But I got stopped by the lawyer and the Algerian.
	I'm like, yeah.
	I've changed.
	I've grown as a man.
	You know why, don't you?
	No agenda.
	Day trading.
	Day trading.
	Is that the punchline?
	Was this the shaggy dog story?
	No.
	I just came up with that one.
	Anyway, so that's fine.
	We're done.
	We have a great end of our vacation.
	Now we're going to fly back and we're going to go to Amsterdam first from Nice, stay there at the Sheraton Hotel, and then head off the next day back to the U.S. And as we have the tickets...
	For Amsterdam, New York, and then on Delta from New York to Austin.
	And remember, I have the $400 global entry card, trusted traveler number, retinal scan, fingerprints, interview, all that stuff.
	Yes.
	And on the way out.
	Yes.
	And so, okay, I'm ready here.
	We're in the line to board.
	And the gate attendant looks at my ticket.
	Oh, you have four S's here.
	You've been randomly selected.
	I'm like, what is this?
	What is this?
	I'm either a trusted traveler or I'm not.
	And they didn't like me saying that.
	This is your country who wants this.
	It's okay.
	That's probably what the point was.
	It's like, what are you blaming us for?
	It's your douchebags.
	Well, certainly I don't understand.
	I do not understand why this happens.
	But okay.
	I have now concluded...
	That the whole Trust the Traveler program is designed to entrap people because they will now assume that if you went to all the trouble to get this, you must be a criminal.
	Well...
	Interestingly, upon arrival at JFK, I turned left to go to the global entry, which really consists of just scanning your passport, takes a picture of your face, and then you put your four fingers on the plate, and that's your biometrics, and then it prints out a thing.
	You can't even see your face because the camera's about chest high on me, and the guy, okay, you're good to go, but you head on in and you go get your bag.
	Tina doesn't have one, but she goes through the regular U.S. citizens.
	There's not a single agent there, John.
	It's all kiosks now.
	And all she has to do is scan her passport and her fingerprints and done.
	And then she's in.
	It's the same thing.
	Exact same thing.
	But here's what baffles me.
	I mean, this is the first time I've ever witnessed this.
	So I'm standing there waiting for the bags.
	All of a sudden she's behind me like, holy crap, that went fast.
	I said, yeah, it's just a kiosk.
	I said, it's the same thing I had.
	Yep, exactly the same.
	We get our bags.
	There's no check.
	There's no check.
	They don't even give you a piece of paper, the customs form anymore.
	They just walk right out.
	I don't understand, but where's the customs and border patrol?
	What?
	Yeah, there's no check.
	They're not even checking to see if your customs paper has been signed off on or anything.
	They just walk right out.
	So you could bring in a French salami without getting stopped?
	That would be one of the things you could do, yeah.
	Possible.
	Huh.
	I don't know what that's all about.
	Maybe they got all the security in the back end now.
	Maybe they x-rayed the hell out of the bags.
	I know last time I flew even domestically, I had my bag open and there was a little note inside telling me that things were rearranged.
	Yeah, I've had that before, but not on this trip.
	And then I come home to this report.
	As you approach the gate, your phone will be taken.
	Please keep your boarding pass out.
	At Washington Dulles, long lines for the double-decker flight to Dubai today.
	One more time, just look straight ahead for me, please.
	And a new final security check for every passenger who boards.
	Can you take your glasses off and just look straight ahead?
	A facial recognition kiosk comparing the outbound passenger's face with all photos already on file in passports, visas, or other sources.
	We've run the fingerprints in advance.
	We've run the biographic vetting in advance.
	We know that's accurate and belongs to the person we expected it to.
	While we were there today, customs officers arrested a passenger, the man wearing a hoodie, an American with an active arrest warrant.
	Congress ordered the biometric upgrade years ago, now testing in Washington, Houston, Atlanta, and Chicago before rolling out nationally, as Homeland Security tries to keep better track of who is entering the country and who is leaving.
	The real problem in immigration today is not so much people coming over the border, but people overstaying their visas.
	And we don't have a way of tracking that.
	The ultimate hope is that they can integrate the biometric screening process with the airline check-in process, doing away with paper tickets.
	In Boston, JetBlue is already testing biometric check-in.
	It's probably safer, more secure.
	It is pretty cool.
	I just hope I look good.
	To address privacy concerns, the kiosk photos of U.S. citizens must be deleted within two weeks.
	We're in a world where perhaps privacy is less of a concern than violent extremism.
	As facial recognition goes from tagging friends on Facebook to Homeland Security.
	There you go.
	We live in a time where privacy is just not that important.
	I like the idea.
	You don't even need a ticket.
	You come in, they get the facial recognition.
	Oh, that guy.
	Okay, send him over there.
	Yeah, yeah.
	How do you know what seat you're going to be sitting in?
	Everything should be like Southwest.
	Just get in.
	Get in!
	That's interesting.
	Yeah, I have no idea.
	Maybe they just have...
	They didn't get harassed?
	Maybe they landed in the wrong place.
	No, nothing.
	It was really odd.
	With my global entry, you usually get a little printout that you're supposed to show on the way out.
	They're not doing that either.
	It costs too much.
	Yeah, well, for sure.
	So you got gypped by this global entry thing.
	I feel pretty gypped, yeah.
	If I recall, it was now three weeks ago, I think on the way out, Tina got pre-checked and I didn't.
	Yes, that's what you're complaining about.
	It's crazy.
	This technology stuff, I don't know.
	Not thinking it's going to be all that great.
	Well, it's not turning out that good, especially with your thermostat.
	Now, I have a thermostat.
	Yeah, we know.
	Mercury.
	It's got mercury in it, and I kind of just move it a little bit until the mercury slides down and turns on the heater.
	And then when it heats up, the mercury slides back.
	And I just eyeball it.
	I don't need all this.
	I know, but hey, you know, I'm with you.
	I'm with you.
	All right, well, we've been on this topic for, I want to say, a good six, seven years.
	We've had many jingles.
	People request them all the time for donation sequences, and I'll just play one of them.
	You slaves can get used to mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Mac and cheese.
	Cheese macaroni and cheese cheddar melted together.
	Mac and cheese.
	I'm sure this news article reached you.
	It certainly found me while we were on vacation regarding Kraft's macaroni and cheese in powdered form.
	Oops.
	All right.
	One of your rituals at lunch might be to fix the instant mac and cheese.
	But there are claims about dangerous chemicals in some of this type of process, please.
	Don't you dare tell Jen that.
	Good morning.
	Yeah, good morning.
	Thanks.
	I mean, it is.
	It's definitely a dinner ritual in my house.
	Maybe other people's too.
	Maybe when you're packing things for your kids' lunch.
	30 different cheese products were tested.
	And they were testing not only different brands.
	They also tested some organic brands.
	They said out of the 30...
	29 had higher levels of phthalates than they expected, and processed cheese had the most.
	Now, phthalates are chemicals that are dangerous enough to be banned in baby toys.
	The study was done by the Environmental Health Strategy Center and first reported by the New York Times.
	And what they said was that in powdered cheese, like the kind you find in mac and cheese, The most delicious bright orange kind.
	They said there was, on average, four times the levels of these chemicals.
	And again, that includes organic compared to regular cheese.
	In processed cheese slices, there was three times the number of these chemicals.
	And they are hormone disruptors.
	Now, they're not deliberately added, but they can come into play during the manufacturing process.
	Kraft says their most famous mac and cheese, right?
	They say it's safe and that the amounts are more than a thousand times lower than levels that scientific authorities have identified as acceptable.
	Sure.
	Still, a lot of people on social media were upset about it.
	Yeah.
	What idiot is going to make mac and cheese from some powder crap?
	Well, I have a couple of questions about this, and I have some comments.
	First of all, this phthalate, it's spelled P-H-T-H-A-L-A-T-E, and it really stands for benzylbutyl phthalate.
	Yeah.
	What exactly is this and why is it in our universe?
	I don't know why it's in there.
	I mean, it's like the atrazine stuff we talked about, which is causing issues with sexual...
	Yeah, it's turning frogs gay.
	Yeah, as Alex Jones would put it.
	But what is it used for?
	Where is it coming from?
	It's got to be a preservative or something.
	Let's do a look up on it.
	Well, what I found is it's an industrial plasticizer.
	Oh, that's what it's for.
	Yep.
	Well, then why?
	Okay, so what does that mean?
	Make it look like when you melt or you mix the stuff, it turns it into that plasticky-looking stuff that you probably would find.
	You know, it's like nachos with that goop.
	Yeah.
	That stuff they put on top of the nachos from a squirter.
	Yeah.
	And then it makes that glossy, like, melted cheese look as though it was official.
	Curiously, of course, real melted cheese, especially if it's a high-end cheddar, never looks like that.
	It's kind of funny looking.
	Right.
	Okay, so you're saying it's being added, although they say it's not being added on purpose, it is being added on purpose.
	I would think so, yeah.
	It's a plasticizer.
	That's exactly what it would be.
	How would you use a plasticizer in industry besides for making the mac and cheese look sheeny?
	It's probably an element of making plastic products.
	So the plastic looks like plastic.
	That's why it was banned in children's toys because I guess the Chinese were using too much of it.
	You get that real slick looking plastic.
	I have not been in a situation where that's ever been a product I've dealt with.
	So I have no idea.
	I'm just guessing.
	This is all...
	Just guessing based on what this stuff is.
	Well, I do have a report from one of our producers who did some good work and came up with a report from the National Institute of Health.
	And this is...
	The link is in the show notes, 948.noagendanotes.com.
	And it's about chronic exposure to benzylbutyl phthalate.
	And I want to read the abstract to you and the conclusion.
	I find it to be very, very important, and specifically because we have been warning about the dangers of mac and cheese more in an economic sense than anything, but I don't think either of us...
	What's the full name of the chemical?
	Benzylbutyl phthalate.
	Okay.
	Benzylbutyl phthalate is an industrial plasticizer that has an unknown action in the central nervous system.
	Phthalates have recently been associated...
	Great.
	Wait for it.
	Phthalates have recently been associated with behavioral actions that are linked to their endocrine disrupting properties.
	The purpose of this study was to investigate the behavioral and molecular effects of BBP treatments in male rats.
	I'm going to skip to the conclusion.
	conclusion.
	We suggest that benzylbutyl phthalate administration disrupts normal learning and social behavior and that these effects could be related to alterations of amygdala function.
	Living the mac and cheese life.
	Mac and cheese by Ayn Rand.
	Hello?
	Oh.
	This is what has made the current millennial generation retarded.
	It's a possibility.
	They love mac and cheese and everybody buys that powdered crap.
	I mean, I've tweeted picture after picture of the mac and cheese dinner they have.
	You see the stacks of them.
	Stacks of them at all the stores.
	39 cents, 79 cents, a dollar at the most.
	John, this is the smoking gun of retardation in our society today.
	Could be.
	Mac and cheese is adored.
	It's sold by the cart.
	I'd like to know the tonnage of this crap that goes into the public.
	And then you get your amygdala issue, which you've talked about, of course, on this show a million times.
	Yeah, I mean, that it alters the amygdala here.
	The results treated rats show decreased freezing and fear conditioning.
	No changes in open field exploration and increased aberrant social behavior.
	Rats were sacrificed at postnatal day 140 and blood and brains were harvested and processed.
	We found increased hormonally active estrogen, 17-beta-estradol, in the serum of BBP-treated rats.
	BBP treatment also induced changes in amygdalar proteins related to synaptic plasticity, including decreased MECP2 levels that correlated with the tests of sociability with no changes in stress-related proteins such as nuclear factor kappa B. Whatever that means.
	But this warrants more investigation.
	And at first I just thought, this is a hit job.
	And it is quite a hit job if you look at the organizations that are out there that are trying to get Kraft to change.
	In fact, there's even a website which is, what is it?
	Where is it?
	Somewhere here.
	I think it's, you know, Make Kraft Change.
	So they're really going after Kraft.
	Specifically.
	I have the...
	Because they did this report...
	What was that?
	They did this report in Belgium.
	They paid for it at a lab in Belgium.
	Belgium is right now.
	I'm looking at the page on this chemical.
	But did you see the PDF? So they have a PDF of the test results and it's redacted.
	They've redacted out names of other brands.
	They've actually redacted all the brands that I could tell.
	But they've redacted that.
	All the brands of the people using it or all the brand names of this product?
	All the brands that have this product in it.
	But they only picked Kraft out of that mix.
	Oh yeah, that's a hit job.
	So it's got to be a hit job.
	This product, which they call BBZP, was commonly used as a plasticizer for vinyl foams, which are often used as floor tiles.
	Other uses are traffic cones.
	Would you like some cones with your mac and cheese?
	Here's a good one.
	Food conveyor belts.
	Yum!
	And artificial leather.
	Hey, those traffic cones, you're right, they're really shiny, aren't they?
	They are like mac and cheese.
	There's actually no reason, if you think about it, why an orange traffic cone needs to be shiny.
	Yeah.
	What's the point?
	I don't know.
	I'm not in the cone.
	And then what was even more interesting is I saw I think it was Salon actually.
	Let me check with this.
	Snow Slate who of course got a call from somebody.
	Please don't panic over the chemicals in your mac and cheese.
	A recent New York Times story raised concerns but missed some key facts.
	So Kraft paid for that.
	That's obvious.
	Geez.
	Way to go Slate.
	Pretty sad.
	Well, Slate, you know, again, is Washington Post as your WAPO. And as we know, WAPO and the New York Times are both very heavily influenced by native advertising.
	Yes.
	And, of course, we had the recent Jeff Bezos announcement that anybody that works at WAPO can not say anything bad against advertisers.
	Ever.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	Was that just on social media or just even pillow talk?
	No, I think you have to lockstep, you know, salute when you walk by.
	Here's a 2012 study conducted in New York City found that eczema was 50% more likely in children whose mothers had been exposed to higher concentrations of BBZP. Eczema.
	Yeah, eczema, and whose mothers have been exposed.
	Exposure was measured through the urine testing during the third trimester.
	All but one of the women in the study showed some level of exposure to BBZP. And those are the kids that are all now protesting something or other.
	Which brings me to a clip which, you know, it's getting kind of hard now to figure out if some of these clips are bullcrap or not.
	It was sent to me as like, oh, a noodle girl.
	I assume all these clips are bullcrap.
	Yeah, I think you're right.
	Well, listen to this.
	She's in the car doing a selfie cam video for YouTube for her Patreon.
	So I just graduated from college last week, Harvard, actually, and I started my new job on Monday.
	So obviously on Sunday night I wanted to go out with my friends and celebrate.
	It was a late night, so Monday morning, first day, I rolled in around 10.30, set up my desk, and...
	My boss, my white male boss, had the audacity.
	Fake, right?
	Fake.
	Okay, that's what I thought.
	We're stopping there.
	I do have something that's not fake, and it's very concerning, but also brilliant in its genius...
	And this is a man on the street interview.
	It's for some college.
	I forget which one.
	I think it doesn't matter.
	And it's a two-part question, but it's a man on the street, so it's selected.
	We know how it works.
	You can select stuff, make it look all funny, all screwy.
	But there's two questions.
	They ask the same people the first question, and that's answered, and then they cut it so that the second question is answered by everybody in sequence after that.
	And the question is about socialism.
	And what will become very apparent in this clip is that somehow the concept of socialism, and I'm thinking Bernie Sanders-like socialism, which is real socialism, has somehow been programmed into the mac and cheese infested minds of our millennials, that socialism is just fairness.
	And it's really, when you hear this clip, you'll go, holy crap.
	I like it already.
	In your opinion, is socialism a good thing or a bad thing?
	I mean, I think people kind of throw that word around to try to scare you, but if helping people is socialism, then I'm for it.
	It could really benefit our country in the future.
	I think it's a good idea.
	Socialism as a concept, as a philosophy, is good.
	I think that it's got a bad rip.
	Trying to spread the wealth is definitely a good thing in America, and it's definitely a thing that's needed.
	There's a lot of things with social welfare that I think would be good to have.
	Do you have a positive reaction to socialism or a negative one?
	No.
	So you hear what's going on here.
	They're confusing social welfare, social justice, social something or other with socialism.
	Stay with it.
	I'd say a more positive one.
	I'm definitely more open to it.
	But we should have a standard of living for all people.
	Okay.
	By default, that should just be available.
	If we did it democratically, then we could really incorporate socialism.
	Like, it definitely seems like a more feasible option, and it could help more people.
	So people are all in on this socialism thing, but now we're going to ask them if they actually can define the term socialism.
	Like, just as a broad term, it could help more people.
	How would you define socialism?
	I mean, honestly, that definition gets thrown around a lot.
	I'm not exactly sure.
	How would you view what socialism is, though?
	Economically, what is socialism?
	Economically, hmm.
	So...
	I'm going to have to think about that for a second.
	Um, jeez.
	Uh, I guess...
	Just...
	Specifically, just, you know, getting rid of that wealth gap in the United States.
	Um...
	How would I describe as little as possible?
	Um...
	How would you define socialism?
	I mean, it's definitely more of an open form of government and it feels like a lot more accessible to a lot more people.
	And that's kind of how I see it, like being more accessible and more kind of like equal ground.
	Yeah.
	What does that mean, necessarily, though?
	To be quite honest, I don't know.
	So the same people who are all gung-ho on, yeah, let's do this, don't actually know that socialism means the state controls production, wealth, and your life.
	And you throw the Abercrombie and Fitch t-shirt out because you're all going to be wearing burlap.
	They don't understand, and this is something, somehow this has been, I think, engineered, brilliantly engineered.
	Well, this has been, I don't want to sound like a conspiracy guy, but...
	That's my job.
	Yes, but I think the universities in general, which are very populated by kind of socialist thinkers, although they're not socialists, but they kind of are, because they work in a university, they get paid by the government to...
	Promote whatever they're promoting.
	When I went to Cal Berkeley in this in the period of time where this was more begun decades earlier, they promoted this idea.
	And I think they keep experimenting with how to get the kids to buy into it, because the group that I came out of, I mean, I was.
	Yeah, I was a conservative or kind of a liberal Democrat.
	And then I very slowly can turn into an independent thinker after going through a Republican period.
	And then I became an independent.
	And this is because I think I got a good education, but I wasn't brainwashed properly to become some sort of a socialist and stay that way.
	The unreconstructed hippies that we have around here in the Bay Area.
	So I think there's I think they've always they're always working at trying to because they say, oh, look at the results.
	The results we ended up with from, like, my group, and shortly thereafter, people like the head of SoftBank, you know, an outrageous capitalist.
	And there's a bunch of, you know, Dean Witter had a bunch of Cal, the Cal promoted socialism, but you got a bunch of capitalists at the end of the day.
	So that didn't work.
	So here's the interesting question, and then I think I can follow that up, but What do the elites gain by introducing socialism?
	And having people buy into it and go, okay, it's all good.
	A malleable public?
	Mm-hmm.
	I think it's all about just control?
	Mm-hmm.
	Don't you think?
	Well, yes.
	And if you look at, going back to Gamergate, when this really started to gain traction, the concept of a social justice warrior, we have seen so many social justice groups Pretty much every single one of them, around the $600,000 to $1.2 million range of income, usually provided by the Open Society Institute, George Soros, or subsidiaries thereof.
	This is an engineered, organized push to trick people into socialism, the way I see it.
	Well, from the clips that you just played, they definitely have been tricked into seeing something good that's bad Yeah.
	They see something in a positive light, but all they're seeing is just the word in a positive light.
	They don't know what it means.
	It's just some touchy-feely thing.
	I don't know what the mechanism is.
	But it's not.
	It's the whole thing.
	It's the social justice.
	That's what it's boiling down to.
	And then they hear socialism.
	Yeah, that's good.
	I'm all for socialism.
	Socialism, social justice.
	Yeah.
	Social network.
	I think if the employment rate was higher, if people had something to do with their time, this wouldn't be happening.
	Oh yeah, I did want to mention that everywhere that we went in our travels, all McDonald's now have kiosks.
	There's no more waitstaff.
	Sorry?
	Okay.
	So, there's no more people that say, welcome to McDonald's, may I take your order?
	There's a kiosk, a little screen.
	When you go up to the counter, there's nobody there to take your order?
	No, there's no counter.
	You walk in, there's screens.
	There's no counter?
	No, only for pickup of the food.
	There's kitchen staff, obviously, throwing the burger in, setting the timer, taking the burger out.
	Yeah, they can get rid of that eventually.
	Yeah, but there is no staff that waits on you anymore.
	So you just punch the buttons yourself?
	Touch screen.
	You are the order taker, but you're not getting paid.
	Yep, yep.
	That's your $15 an hour future, people.
	Be on the lookout for that.
	Wow, that's a good catch.
	Yeah, it's prevalent.
	The second catch is my catch.
	Which is, what the hell were you doing at a McDonald's in Europe?
	No, you just walk by, you see it.
	Okay.
	You see it.
	No, I did not go to a McDonald's, please.
	Well, if the kiosk was there, I probably would go.
	I'd go to see if I can get extra pickles on my cheap burger.
	I don't know how it works.
	I don't know if it works well or not.
	But, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Armageddon, man.
	I was reading an article in the Delta High Times, whatever they call their in-flight magazine.
	Delta High Times.
	About all the mall closures.
	They expect, what is it, 29 million square feet of mall space to just be shuttered?
	Yes, well, the malls are having...
	I think we did a couple of clips on that before, but there's a lot of riots.
	Social media is helping to ruin the malls because they have these huge meetups where they have a fight.
	But I'm thinking, can't we come up with an idea...
	That, because clearly this is not going to work.
	I mean, the retail thing, Amazon wins, fine.
	But either we can turn them into data centers, I was thinking.
	I'm just trying to think, what is a good use?
	You're talking about the giant malls?
	Yeah, what is a good use?
	Yeah, the data center.
	I think you nailed it.
	Data center's dynamite idea.
	We could also just have, like, ultimate fighting, just have kids come there and fight, you know, and just...
	Well, that would be terrific.
	Organize, organize.
	We'll organize it, you know.
	Mud fights.
	Just another great future for us.
	The future of the mall itself, so far as a retail space, has already been shown.
	How about housing?
	How about prisons?
	Yeah, prison!
	Now you're talking.
	I've always seen a lot of these new apartment stores.
	They have a gate you've got to go through.
	They're already prisons.
	And it wouldn't take much to turn them into official prisons.
	But the mall has been replaced by the fake street.
	The Disneyland approach, which is, you know, Main Street.
	There's one over here in Emeryville.
	There's one that naturally...
	Wait, like a retail street?
	Like the High Street in the UK? Like A Street with all the stores?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, but these are phony.
	The one in Emeryville is a street that's been created specifically for stores.
	And you drive, it's got parking spots.
	It's actually good.
	You can park and it makes sense.
	Nice.
	Yeah, it's actually, you go down the street, it looks like an actual street.
	It's long, about four or five blocks long.
	Oh yeah, someone in the chat room just said, Mr.
	Bobo said, think about the domain here in Austin.
	I gotta tell you, it's the most depressing thing.
	So it's as complex, and the complex has housing, apartment buildings, and the mall.
	And people are living in apartments above the mall, above the parking garages, and it's like this one self-contained, pitiful universe of living and shopping.
	Is it an actual mall with a roof?
	With a roof.
	Roof.
	Yeah, see, that's the mistake.
	These systems are roofless, so they feel like a real street.
	They got power lines, or actually it's all underground, but they have the poles and the lighting and parking and across streets go across them.
	And I don't know if there's housing necessarily, but you can imagine they could work that in.
	But generally speaking, this is store, store, store, store, store.
	And all high-end stores, boutique high-end stores, Apple Store definitely would be, I think the Apple Store will be the new anchor store for these sorts of things.
	And it's comfortable.
	Yeah, well, I'm just looking for an angle, you know, because they overbuilt, and I guess these things also have bonds, so I'm sure there's going to be some problems in the financial market eventually.
	I mean, and jobs, and jobs.
	We've got to get some jobs, and jobs.
	No, you can imprison people instead.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you, John C. He stands for Can't Turn a Profit on the Mall, Dvorak.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	In the morning, our ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water on the day.
	It was nice out there.
	In the morning to the chat room.
	knowledge into stream.com for the live shows.
	Good to see you guys back.
	I've missed you somehow, oddly, in a weird way.
	Also, thank you very much to our artists.
	Now, I want to take a look.
	We had artwork for episode 9 or 4-7.
	That is the mixtape, which was the Disco Putin.
	And the Disco Putin was brought to us by Trent Drake, and we appreciate that.
	I had a feeling we used that one before.
	Maybe I was wrong.
	I couldn't find it.
	But anyway, we used that for the next time.
	No, no, that was pretty recent.
	No, we did not use that one before.
	We had talked about it.
	I remember talking about it, but we decided it against.
	And I also want to thank Nick the Rat for episode 9 or 4-6, Highfalutin, the title of that.
	And he did the Russian Ties, which was a very funny piece.
	Really good.
	Liked that a lot.
	And a visual pun.
	Russian Ties.
	Yes, a visual pun indeed.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com.
	Did you talk to Sir Paul Couture about the art generator?
	We need to do a call out for people to be...
	Yeah, I called Couture.
	We talked.
	He says that the art generator, which I guess has been up for about six years.
	We have almost 10,000 images in this thing.
	Yeah, people should go check them out.
	Paul said that it's Drupal.
	And he says it's getting, which, this again, this technology thing, which you bitched about earlier.
	Drupal fell out of favor years ago.
	Drupal fell out of favor, and it's getting frayed.
	The only way to describe it.
	Frayed?
	Frayed.
	That happens with the code?
	It just starts to fray at the edges?
	Apparently.
	The code is getting frayed.
	And it's like, you know, it fails here and there.
	This is crazy to me that software would do this.
	But apparently it does.
	Or, you know, it needs a passion, there's no passion, I think is what we're talking about here.
	But he was just concerned that if he got hit by a bus...
	He believes that he's getting real busy at the moment.
	And he would like to find a protege or somebody to come in and help and maybe even take over the thing.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, send me an email and I'll pass it on to Paul if you're interested.
	I got, you know, Aaron, who helped us with the certificate issue, he's kindly offered to take over the entire hosting of No Agenda Social and everything.
	He's going to Dockerize it.
	It's good because I got a bill for like $150 a month for this thing with storage and bandwidth and server.
	For No Agenda what?
	Noagendasocial.com.
	I paid for it myself.
	Don't worry.
	Oh, you're talking about the Mastodon?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, because we have like 68 gigabytes of just images alone now.
	There's the problem with all this stuff.
	There's just people...
	It looks like it's...
	But I'm not refused from posting there.
	My system doesn't refuse me from posting.
	And all of our producers are there.
	I get a lot of benefit out of that.
	You should check in from time to time.
	I'm going to do that.
	And...
	I've talked to people about podcasting and recently, when I'm in LA, everyone wants to be a podcaster.
	Do you want to do the thank yous?
	I desperately want to hear about LA. But let's thank some people first.
	Well, let's thank a few people.
	Starting with Peter Gill, who is in Kenmore, Australia.
	Queensland, as a matter of fact.
	He came with $800.
	Wow.
	And he's our high man for the day.
	High mark for the day.
	And he has a note.
	Good day.
	Good day, Adam and John.
	It's been a while since I helped my son Charlie in his knighthood.
	Sir Gil, you may remember, used his Christmas money as a final contribution when he was 18.
	Yes.
	I've decided now it's my turn to claim an insta-nighthood under your kind offer of one-to-one Australian dollars.
	So his contribution is actually $1,000 Australian dollars.
	That's right.
	It's a lot of beer, mate.
	Which came through the PayPal.
	It's $800, so there's your difference.
	But we credit Australians and Canadians with their native money because it's the same to them as it is to us.
	$1,000 is $1,000.
	That's right.
	In spending in your area.
	But this does not work for pesos, people.
	It does not work for pesos or rubles or marks, which they don't have anymore, or guilders.
	None of that.
	But euros.
	It does work for...
	It works the other way.
	It works for euros and it works for pounds.
	Yeah, it works great for them.
	I'm contributing a thousand Australian dollars.
	You send us a thousand pounds, we'll give you a knighthood.
	We're easy that way.
	Recognize the value you've been providing since I started listening from show one.
	Sorry to hear that.
	Charlie is now undertaking a journalism degree, and I think the show gives him a much broader view of the world and his fellow students, and for that I thank you.
	Adam, when you finally do get to come down under, you're more than welcome to stay at our place in Brisbane.
	Thank you.
	Should you be needing accommodations, I would like to claim the name Sir Peg, P-E-G, of Elland Road.
	Peg is my nickname, P-E-G. At the company I have worked at for the last 23 years, even customers call me that name.
	No.
	Ellen Road is the ground of Leeds United, the football club I have supported since I was a kid.
	Nice!
	Good work.
	I'm going to give him a big heap of karma.
	Thank you very much, sir.
	You've got karma.
	Looking forward to your ceremony later on.
	And next we have our buddy.
	Yes, Sir Onimus from Doc Patch.
	From Doc Patch, $610.
	He sent in a...
	A revealing note.
	Not this one.
	He says to commemorate my baby brother Angelic Knight's birthday.
	He closes $10 for each year since he was born.
	So he's what?
	61?
	I guess.
	Ain't nothing numerologically special about his age, just another prime number.
	Tasty bi-weekly morsels of analysis contribute to make you the schmoes of news.
	No, schmooze of news.
	Schmooze of news.
	Schmooze of news, okay.
	Nice.
	Thank you.
	Thank you very much, sir.
	Give him a karma.
	You've got karma.
	We should mention he is the most anonymous of the anonymouses.
	Absolutely.
	We have no idea who he is.
	Sir American Carnage in Tigard, Oregon.
	500.
	Sir American Carnage.
	Isn't this Melanson in Tigard?
	And this is another person that lives there?
	I don't know.
	I'm not in charge of that.
	It says, well, it's a donation from Sir American Carnage.
	Never stop making this show, ever.
	Everyone step up and donate.
	Let's make this a great summer for no agenda.
	500.
	Okay.
	Brian Lawson in Little Neck, New York.
	Lawson.
	I think I looked him up.
	And, of course, somehow in the process, I... Lost his note.
	So let's go.
	He'll send us something post-fact, I'm sure.
	No, no, no.
	There's got to be something here.
	Hold on.
	Let me look.
	Meanwhile, while you're looking, I'll let everybody know that I've come to a decision about the airstream of consciousness, and I think I have to let it go.
	What?
	Well, yeah, it's sitting there, just rotting away, and I'm not using it.
	And, you know, I'm so down on the construction of the thing that, you know, it makes more sense to rent one when we go and do a tour than to have one and pay for it to sit there.
	And, you know, with every day that passes, something of the shitty engineering that this fine American company has rammed together is going to break.
	And if I want to get out of it with anything, then I should probably get rid of it now.
	Okay.
	I think you probably should with that attitude.
	If anyone's looking for one, let me know.
	Alright, anyway, so Brian Lawson, $466.66 from Little Neck, New York.
	He wrote in, he didn't write in based on this thing, but he did write in on the 13th of July, which may or may not be good.
	He said, I hope you saw Jeff Bezos' new social media policy for WAPO employees.
	I'm reading this because it's something we talked about earlier.
	Prohibiting the posting of anything that adversely affects the post customers, advertisers, subscribers, vendors, suppliers, or partners, as reported in the Wall Street Journal.
	Violating this rule can result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
	This is proof that the value for value model, which I want to have you explain, re-explain once again, because somebody on Twitter says, value for value, what's that?
	The model that you pursue is the only one that allows for objective reporting, which is what we do, and analysis, which is what we do.
	With that in mind, I've just made a contribution, oh there it is, 46666, which by my accounting brings me one cent short of my second knighthood baronet title.
	Here it is.
	Dropping the penny for you.
	Can you put him on the list for baronet?
	Baronet, sure.
	An upgrade.
	You've got an upgrade.
	It's an upgrade.
	It's a baronet.
	Oh, that's nice.
	I'm hoping that one of you can kick in that extra penny and put me over the top.
	I look forward to earning my full baron title in the near future as conditions permit.
	Keep up the great work.
	Sir Brian of Douglaston, New York.
	Sir Brian of...
	Let me just write this down.
	Sir Brian of what?
	Of what?
	Of Douglaston?
	Douglaston.
	Okay.
	Although he says he's in Little Neck here by PayPal standards.
	Tony Cabrera in Hawthorne, California, $413.83.
	And by the way, I want to mention to the people listening, this is for two shows.
	Yeah.
	It's for two shows.
	It's going to be a little longer than usual, and it's for two shows.
	ITM encloses your latest share of the fruits and labor from the artists at NoAgendaShop.com.
	Thank you for providing No Agenda artists with consistent fuel that feeds both the left and the right sides of our brains.
	Uh...
	In times of blank.
	I can't say that.
	That's all I got.
	When you find yourself in times of blank...
	Well, how about a karma there?
	You can't go wrong with a karma.
	You've got karma.
	I don't know what happened to the spreadsheet there, man.
	Broke.
	Sergene, Duke of the South, you better file a FARA report ASAP. What's that?
	I don't know.
	Look it up.
	Please play AS and some karma.
	A-S. A-S. First Farrah report.
	That's a...
	Foreign Agent Registration Act.
	Oh.
	Oh.
	Hey, Gene, next time send us through the transom, man.
	Don't just do it out in public.
	They're going to bust me as a spy?
	Well, you've spent a lot of time.
	Please play A-S. A-S. A-S. Maybe it means A-R. No, you said A-S. There's no other typos on here.
	I'm going to play him A-R. Living the mac and cheese life.
	Mac and cheese by Ayn Rand.
	You've got harmony.
	That's what he used to like.
	To Greg Birch in Port Angeles.
	Or Dentite.
	Uh, $250.
	Five days ago, cancer took the young wife of one of my dental classmates.
	She was loud and boisterous, and we will miss her dearly.
	Hopefully, we can do something about the scourge in our lifetime.
	Uh, karma for husband and kids left behind.
	You've got karma.
	Is it just me, or is there just more cancer around?
	Is it age, maybe, that happens, that more people that you know get cancer and stuff like that?
	Which brings us to John McCain, which we should probably mention later.
	But the question remains, do you notice this?
	Do you think it's just age?
	I wonder myself about this, because I have a couple of...
	Some Dimension B folks, friends of mine that we talk about on the show, one in particular is always talking about everyone dropping dead.
	I remember my mom doing that same thing.
	I think it's age.
	Okay.
	Done.
	All right.
	Onward.
	Sir Eric Hertha in Blue Ridge, Georgia, $250, and he sent in a note on email.
	Hello from Gitmo Nation's Lowlands Caribbean.
	Or Caribbean, a.k.a.
	Gouda Island, a.k.a.
	Curacao, a.k.a.
	parts of the Caribbean.
	The Zika scam has died down.
	Big news now is that the waters of Curacao are being heavily patrolled to try and stop a flood of Venezuelans coming over.
	For good reason.
	The numbers are picking up, though.
	I may build a wall and have Venezuela pay for it.
	Make it transparent.
	Ho, ho, ho.
	The only issue is that they have no money.
	In other Caribbean news, the economic hitmen are here and in full force.
	In Nassau, our friends from China own the Hilton.
	By the way, I got a note from our economic hitman, which I may not present today's show.
	It's going to be a...
	But it's interesting.
	In Nassau, our friends from China own the Hilton and the $4.2 billion Baja Mar Resort.
	There is a proposed $2.2 billion resort on the table in St.
	Lucia backed by China.
	Although the Caribbean countries have new stadiums courtesy of Beijing.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Finally, in Curaçao, the Chinese took over the refinery here.
	It was owned by Venezuela, so it probably is in lieu of a debt payment as Venezuela owes billions to China.
	The nice Chinese government also said that they would be happy to help modernize our electric and motorists.
	Oh, I'm sure.
	Gee, we haven't heard that game before.
	Rock on, Chiners.
	Can we see where this is going?
	Yes, you can.
	It's called Africa.
	With all this going on, we have decided to bail from here.
	In July, we'll be heading to Gitmo Nation, tax-free Caribbean, excuse me, a.k.a.
	Cayman Islands.
	A lot of people are moving there.
	Really?
	That's interesting.
	That is interesting.
	Yeah.
	Hopefully the island won't tip over with all the extra weight.
	Thank you for all the great shows, Sir Eric.
	Well, he didn't request it.
	This is interesting.
	This is a random number theory.
	Nobody's requested many jingles.
	Good.
	So we'll give him a karma.
	You got it.
	You've got karma.
	Hey, by the way, remind me to tell you about Brexit that I heard from the Brits and Italian migrants.
	Remind me.
	Let me write that down.
	Brexit.
	You know, I'm writing it down, but I'll never see it again.
	Okay, I'll write it down.
	Italian migrants.
	Migrants?
	Yeah.
	What's the difference between a migrant and an immigrant?
	Oh, I'm glad you asked, because I had a whole argument with someone about that.
	Do you know that the percentage of new people coming into the EU that are refugees is very small?
	It's about 7%.
	The rest are economic migrants.
	They're coming not from war-torn places.
	Well, they may be places that suck, but 30% is just from Africa.
	Somalia, Nigeria.
	That'll turn out well.
	And if you look at the EU, the number one country of origin is Morocco.
	Last I checked, there was no refugee status in Morocco.
	No, not to say the least.
	They are migrants.
	Sounds like an invasion.
	I've been reading this fantastic book, The Curious Death of Europe.
	It's all about the European Union.
	And it goes back to the press, even in the UK, after the Second World War.
	What was his name?
	Heath, I think his name was.
	Where he blew up his entire political career and was deemed a racist because he said, you know, we've got to slow down on the immigration here because this is going too fast.
	And you trace it back, this idea of not...
	I mean, even 23andMe, I think, is in on this game somehow.
	Every single excuse.
	If you say this, you're a racist.
	We're all immigrants.
	Just look at your DNA. I mean, all of these kinds of things are being used to allow this massive migration into countries that have never even seen anything like this before.
	I digress, but there's some interesting stuff about Italian migrants.
	We will get to it.
	Yeah.
	Simon Warbiss in Herrenberg, Deutschland.
	222.22.
	No, no.
	Enoch Powell.
	I'm sorry.
	Enoch Powell.
	That's who it was.
	Oh, I remember Enoch Powell.
	Yeah, that's the guy.
	Rogue Black Knight of the Okanagan Plains.
	$202.02 in Washington.
	Although he's probably from Canada if he's in Okanagan.
	It's a wine-growing valley.
	Dynamite place.
	He has a note.
	The enclosed donation represents your share of my winnings from my first place finish in a small daily poker tournament at Planet Hollywood.
	Oh, congratulations.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	That place is one of my favorite poker parlors, always full of drunken tourists and millennials.
	And I love taking money from millennials, especially when they're drunk.
	Smiley face.
	For jingles.
	Oh, here we go.
	You get your pen out.
	I've got my pen out.
	He's got Noodle Man's F the EU short version.
	F the EU. Hillary, what difference does it make?
	Hold on.
	Putin, don't worry, be happy.
	Two to the head and little girl yay.
	Okay, I think we got it.
	What difference at this point does it make?
	Don't worry.
	Be happy.
	Be happy.
	Don't worry.
	Be happy.
	Yay!
	You've got...
	Alright, jet lag, but I'm there.
	You nailed it.
	Spike.
	Richard Soner, continuing our associate executive producer list.
	I want to thank every one of them.
	Richard Soner, $201.
	Just found out my wife donated with the intention to...
	Okay, I wanted to set this up before the show.
	I read this before.
	Yep.
	And I have an idea.
	Okay.
	Let me read this and I'll give you my idea.
	You sure you want to do it in that order?
	I have an idea.
	Okay.
	I just found out my wife donated with the intention of a douchebag call-out on me.
	I would like to pull off the first douchebag call-out defusing by preempting her donation.
	Whoa!
	If I may, I would like to point out something to the public's suggestion that they are going overboard or that John and Adam are now Trump apologists.
	The thesis of the show has not changed.
	It has always been a show about analyzing the manipulation of the general populace to the tune of globalists' interests.
	That is a very good description.
	Very good description.
	That's why we're seemingly harder on Obama, because he definitely was manipulating the general populace to the tune of globalist interests.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I would like to make the supposition that your perspective...
	It's your perspective, people who don't donate.
	Your perspective, people who...
	Our Hillbots?
	Yes.
	It's your perspective that has changed.
	That's what he wants to say.
	John and Adam pointed out the major media outlets were a constant stream of lies and misinformation before the election, and they are pointing out the same thing after the election.
	Excellent.
	Now, to his douchebag call-out diffusion, he's going to call him out as a douchebag, but I think the diffusion would go like this.
	You do a douchebag.
	Yeah.
	Followed by a douchebag check.
	This is a little complicated, but I think you get to do this.
	Followed by a douchebag check.
	Followed by Rachel Maddow's uh-oh.
	Followed by de-douching.
	Okay, let me see.
	Bag check, douchebag check.
	Where the hell is it?
	Douche bag.
	Uh...
	I wish we had...
	I like your idea.
	I really do.
	But I have no idea where the douche...
	For some reason now I can't find the douchebag check.
	Hmm.
	Well, let's wait.
	Okay, I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it.
	Okay, douchebag check, followed by Rachel Maddow sound, right?
	Some crazy ISO she had, I think?
	Yeah, uh-oh.
	Yeah, uh-oh.
	Okay, did I save that one?
	What did you title it?
	I think it was Rachel Maddow something, Rachel ISO. Got it, yeah, I got it.
	Followed by what?
	D-douching.
	D-douching?
	Okay.
	Okay.
	The following podcast.
	No, that's not it.
	Damn it!
	That's not the douchebag.
	The following podcast.
	I'll just play that.
	I thought this was it.
	I don't understand.
	Here we go.
	Douchebag check!
	No, douchebag check!
	You've been de-douched.
	You went a long way for that one, John.
	Well, it was a long way and you left out the original douchebagging.
	I'm sorry.
	It's okay.
	Don't make me do it.
	I just think if anybody else wants to do this, we should make sure it has to be at least at the level of social distancing.
	Well, now I'll know what to do.
	I'll know what to do for next time.
	All right.
	Michael Lamb is our, I see our final associate executive.
	No, there's one more.
	Michael Lamb, $200 in Great Britain, UK somewhere.
	No real message, just pulling my finger out for an overdue contribution for the value for value I have been getting.
	And again, I want you to reiterate the value for value model for the benefit of a couple of newbies.
	I will do that right after we finish up the last two associate executive producers.
	Yeah, and so let's go to Lillian Soner in Jacksonville, Florida.
	Oh, see, here it is, because he came in at 201, and she came at 200.
	That's how he usurped her, you see.
	Yes.
	This was the move.
	It was the slick move.
	Slick move, man.
	Dabs.
	The husband.
	My husband has been a long-time list and finally hit me in the mouth last year when Trump was running for president.
	My husband liked Trump as a candidate for president, and my response was, isn't he a racist?
	No.
	I fell into the trap from the M5M on online news agencies of writing garbage.
	Who are writing garbage, I think is what she meant.
	This wasn't the first time my husband tried to get me to listen to your show.
	I listened to bits and pieces on car rides and found the segments on Common Core to be really interesting.
	Alas, after I realized I was being lied to by everything I'm reading and hearing, I finally am a devout listener of your show every week.
	I'd like to call out douchebag to my husband for not donating.
	We're not donating previously, and I hope this donation and future donations can show how much we both value your show.
	He's already been pre-de-douched.
	Yes.
	Jingle request.
	Madonna's We Choose Love.
	I don't...
	Oh, I do remember it.
	Do we have...
	It's that era when she had the black pussy hat on, and she's going on and on.
	I'm angry!
	Yeah, I have it.
	I'm angry.
	And then some karma.
	Side note to Adam in relation to his trip to Florence.
	Recently, I went on a girl's trip to Savannah with three millennials.
	I'm in my mid-30s.
	I observed their selfie and social media behavior the entire two days I was with them.
	The girls weren't interested in seeing the sights of Savannah.
	They just wanted to take nonstop photos of themselves and post it to social media.
	They weren't actually interested in doing any tours or sightseeing, and we basically laid up in the Airbnb all day long while they played on their phones.
	The trip was truly eye-opening for someone like me, who has been, with the exception of linked in, social media free for seven years.
	Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that.
	That's pretty sad.
	I guess it wasn't her three millennials.
	No.
	Some, I think...
	Right, just three other...
	Wow, that's...
	Yeah, that's exactly...
	You know what?
	That's pathetic.
	But that's where it's at.
	That's where it's at.
	I started to...
	In Italy, I started taking photos of people taking selfies.
	Particularly...
	Oh, I think that's a great thing to do, because it's really...
	That's art.
	Yeah, and...
	I... When I... Yeah.
	It's good.
	It's good.
	Especially people taking photos of their food is really fun to capture.
	Yeah, well...
	I did take some of this type of shot.
	There was a bunch of people.
	This is the Golden Gate Bridge.
	There was a bunch of people standing on the edge of precipice.
	And people do get killed doing this.
	They're on the precipice all hugging together and their heads all together.
	And by the way, apparently there's a huge lice problem in the United States now.
	That's because people are taking selfies together?
	Yeah, because they bump their heads and one has lice down the next one.
	And they're all bumping their heads together.
	So lice flies.
	Lice is just an epidemic now.
	And they were just women taking a picture of them, a thing.
	Or no, they were doing a selfie with a selfie stick, the group of them.
	And I took a picture of that.
	I thought it was a better picture.
	I'm angry.
	Yes, I am outraged.
	Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
	But I know that this won't change anything.
	We cannot fall into despair.
	As the poet W.H. Auden once wrote on the eve of World War II, we must love one another or die.
	You've got karma.
	Sadly, I didn't have the...
	We choose love.
	It's not an ISO that I have, as far as I know.
	The only one I have is this one.
	Fuck you!
	I got that...
	We have a second one.
	What's the second one?
	Fuck you!
	There you go.
	It's kind of the same thing.
	We choose love.
	Yeah.
	Same thing.
	Same thing.
	Very sweet.
	Jennifer...
	Chakalakachek.
	No, it's Chakalakachek.
	Okay.
	In Calgary.
	Where the money used to be.
	$200.
	Greetings from Canada.
	I'm less than $200 away from becoming a dame, but it will have to wait until next month due to the terrible exchange.
	You know the deal, dame.
	You're in Scandinavia, so $200 is $200.
	$200.
	If it goes through PayPal like this, it's better if you do it through a check, although it has to go through collections when they give it to the bank, which takes a month.
	That's just our bank, Josh.
	Our bank sucks.
	Most California banks, you have to go, you have to take a foreign check to collections and it goes through a system.
	You get the money eventually.
	I don't know why it takes so long.
	It makes no sense.
	But it will have to wait until next month because of the terrible exchange rate, she writes.
	Our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just arrived for the Calgary Stampede, which was our annual Rodeo exhibition and Cowboy Halloween.
	I think he came here because during his Canada Day speech, he forgot to mention Alberta when listing all the provinces and territories of the country.
	This, of course, riled up the conservatives of Alberta who were already quite riled up when he was elected.
	So here's wearing his cowboy hat and taking...
	Here he is wearing his cowboy hat.
	Can I please get a...
	Is this part of the same note?
	Yeah, I believe so, yeah.
	Can I get a, please, a fuck cancer for my loved one who is also an Eminem, Adam, Zika, Zika, Zika clip.
	He wants that clip.
	She wants that clip, which brings me joy every time I hear it.
	Thank you.
	May I have...
	Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
	Yeah.
	Where's the money?
	1.9 billion dollars.
	Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika, Zika.
	Yeah.
	Where's the money?
	Small heads are coming.
	You're gonna do it.
	We're going to have a problem here.
	Stop me!
	No!
	Stop me!
	Stop me!
	You've got karma.
	You've got karma.
	And that includes our associate executive producers and executive producers list for the last two shows.
	Yes.
	And we want to reiterate the value for value model, which Adam...
	Can explain like no other, yes.
	No, the best.
	And this evolved over many years of doing this program, but we felt in the beginning it was a mistake...
	In the Value for Value model, which we pioneered, to tell people, we need you to chip in for a buck or two dollars.
	Personally, I believe we felt that it devalued the work we did, and we left it open to people and said, what kind of value did you get from the show you just heard?
	Or the six hours a week.
	Yes.
	Or often we can equate it by time.
	So one way to look at it is if you went to the movies over the weekend or last night and you got two tickets, you drank some, had some popcorn, sat in a room for an hour and a half with other people, and you had a good time, that maybe cost you 50 bucks.
	If you're in your car, you're driving along, you listen to our show an hour and a half on the way to work, an hour and a half on the way back, or maybe over a couple of days, what kind of value did it bring to your life?
	And you tell us.
	And we've been constantly amazed by the apparent value that we've been delivering, and people value it differently for different reasons.
	And it's, I think, a postmodern broadcasting model of the future.
	Yes, because we do deliver value.
	Apparently.
	If there's nothing to be delivered, for example...
	There is...
	I wanted to...
	You had that clip from the...
	I want to play this clip.
	Well, can I get out of the donation segment?
	Oh, I thought you were.
	Okay.
	Well, we have to remind people we've got a show come up on a Sunday, and when we have another show, we need your help in our value-for-value model.
	And we thank our executive producers and associate executive producers who are always out there propagating our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Water.
	Water.
	Shut up, play.
	Shut up, play.
	There we go.
	Now, I don't know if this is the one you played.
	But I do have the Family Guy podcast clip, one of them.
	There's about five you can get from this show.
	Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
	Didn't I already play this?
	I don't know if it's the same one.
	Tell me if it's the same one.
	Just play it short.
	All right, you guys.
	Podcast time.
	We got the equipment and the perfect business plan.
	Give our show away for free and tell no one how to find it.
	It's always worth another play.
	Is that the same one?
	I played that one.
	I don't know about the second one, though.
	No, the other one is...
	The other one, if you want to play, since we got that voice...
	The other one, they do one of those cutaways, and Peter's, for some reason, eating at an Italian person's house, and the guy is trying to explain that his brother is gay, and he's got all these kind of little...
	I don't know what to call them for gay.
	These little metaphors or similes for gay, but he never wants to say gay until Peter says it and it upsets the mom.
	But a bunch of these...
	You really mean microaggressions, you mean?
	They're microaggressions.
	I want you to tell me a couple of these in here, what they mean.
	Anyway, my brother Louis, he's a little off to the side, you know?
	Foofy.
	Up to the knuckle.
	He's a backwards mechanic.
	Likes to play in the dirt.
	You mean gay?
	No!
	Mama!
	Put on, Peter!
	Mama Louie's not gay!
	He's creative!
	They forgot Light in the Loafers.
	They didn't do that.
	What is Up to the Knuckle?
	I don't know, John.
	Use your imagination.
	Up to the Knuckle.
	That's the one that got me.
	That's a show title as far as I'm concerned.
	Up to the Knuckle?
	Yeah, I think it qualifies.
	Up to the knuckle.
	Yay!
	Nice one.
	Very, very good.
	Let me see.
	I got a little tidbit.
	Okay.
	Play this one.
	The University of California, of course, we had a big protest against Milo, you know, giving his little speech.
	And they're also happy now that his book sold 153 copies in the UK. Yeah!
	Your 15 minutes are over, Milo.
	So, I want to just give you an idea of the kindest students.
	I mean, this is Berkeley, you know, one of the greatest universities in the world, but the whole scene at the university level has deteriorated to such an extent.
	I'd like to know how these students even got admitted to the school, let alone, we know how they got arrested because they're stupid, but this is Cal's student vandalized.
	Oh, sorry.
	Sorry.
	Two UC Berkeley students have been charged with felony vandalism following a recent graffiti spree near campus.
	Police say Ismail Shamu and Peter Estrada are responsible for a series of anti-fascist graffiti found June 28th.
	Officials haven't released a booking photo for Estrada.
	The offending messages were spray painted on everything from fences to cars and accompanied by anarchy symbols.
	The two 21-year-olds were scheduled to appear in Alameda County Superior Court this morning.
	These are Cal students.
	Yeah.
	And they wrote...
	Which means they got money?
	It doesn't mean they got money.
	No, they got student loans, probably.
	Maybe they got a scholarship.
	How they're students is beyond me, but they are.
	They wrote the three things they showed.
	Kill white people.
	And people spell PPL. Kill cops, with an anarchist sign, and kill yuppies on the side of some white van.
	Yuppies?
	Are there still yuppies around?
	I don't know.
	I mean, I think I said yuppies.
	What happened to kill dirty hippies?
	I mean, just throw that in.
	Might as well.
	But this is like a student at the University of Cattu.
	Kill white people.
	Students at the University of California doing this.
	Nice, nice, nice.
	This is not a good sign.
	This is very good.
	The end is nigh.
	Beautiful.
	Oh, Brexit and Italy.
	Before I forget.
	So number one, Brexit.
	I got a first-hand look at Michelle and Carol.
	Both of them are like, holy crap.
	We're going to be in so much trouble.
	Who's Michelle and Carol?
	Michelle's house, where we stayed near Saint-Tropez, and Carol, his friend, the British woman.
	Who said, I was a Trump supporter.
	These two people.
	So they're super, super Brits, in a way.
	And they're up in arms.
	They're being completely indoctrinated how they're going to be the most insignificant appendage of wasteland in the world.
	How the French are going to open the floodgates and just let all the migrants get on the ferry boats and let them run through the channel.
	Run through the channel.
	Run through the channel.
	Good one.
	Yeah, I like that.
	Run through the channel.
	Okay, run through the channel.
	That they will not even be allowed to land their planes coming from Gatwick and Heathrow in the EU. That they'll have to get visas.
	They've been completely terrorized.
	Wow.
	By the EU mainstream media.
	But at the same time, there will be no second vote.
	This is what we decided.
	This is what we're going to do.
	And the British people have spoken.
	And I was like, are you sure there's not going to be a do-over?
	Wouldn't you kind of like to try that again?
	No, no, no, no.
	We've really spoken.
	But, it's going to be horrendous, and they keep saying, the EU is just going to run out the clock.
	Run out the clock.
	Just run out the clock until we have absolutely nothing.
	The soccer game we're talking about here?
	Yeah, exactly.
	And they're really, really freaked about it.
	And, oh yeah, we won't be able to have marmalade, because we won't be able to get...
	It's endless.
	Wow, that occurred.
	But, by the same token...
	Gleefully read to me from the newspaper that Italy is now so pissed.
	We don't talk about it that much anymore, but Greece is, of course, in shambles.
	The Italian economy is pretty much non-existent, and what exists now belongs to the Chinese.
	Migrants have become a business model.
	They're being put into small-budget hotels, and it's a business model.
	But now, and I send Willow a whole bunch of stuff, and she's kind of re-evaluating her take on what's going on over there, and she's a good boots on the ground.
	Now what's happening is the Italian government is threatening that if the EU doesn't come across the bridge with some money, which they're saying under the guise of, oh, we have migrants, but mind you, not immigrants, migrants, not immigrants, migrants, economic migrants, That if the EU doesn't start giving them money...
	What's the difference between an immigrant and a migrant?
	I'm sorry, a refugee and a migrant.
	My mistake.
	But that's not my question.
	I think immigrant and migrant is the same thing.
	I'll look it up.
	But Italy is now saying, if you don't give us some money, we're going to issue 200,000 visas for these people to travel freely throughout the EU. Ooh, nice, nice move.
	Slick, isn't it?
	I love that.
	I like it.
	Very slick move.
	Very, very slick.
	So, got my eye on that.
	Let me find that marmalade story.
	They were really upset about that.
	Oh, that marmalade.
	Heaven forbid.
	That is so hard to make.
	Let me see.
	What exactly was the problem?
	Let's see.
	A whole bullshit story in Dutch.
	I can't translate that quick.
	Meanwhile, just staying in the Euroland for a second, just picked up something funny on the CNNs.
	You know, President Trump went to see Macron, and they had their little hangout there on 14th of July.
	And here's Poppy Harlow of CNN narrating the festivities as the national anthems are being played for the two world leaders.
	Do you regret voting for president?
	What the hell?
	Wrong one.
	Here we go.
	That Syria is the area where these two men share the most common ground and share to gain the most from their relationship.
	And before you answer that, let's just listen in to the French national anthem for just a moment.
	You moron!
	You moron!
	You're such a good city!
	You're such a perfect man, you moron!
	The U.S. American national anthem, I should say.
	Let's listen in.
	The U.S. Americans National Anthem.
	Okay, it's called the Star Spangled Banner.
	What a moron.
	America.
	So stupid.
	But I love it.
	Beautiful.
	Well done.
	Well done.
	Hey, just since we're kind of talking about politics and social justice warriors all at the same time, Caitlyn Jenner was on Fallon.
	No, on Kimmel.
	Yeah.
	Did you happen to see this by any chance?
	No, no.
	She's doing the voice, John.
	What do you mean?
	She's worked on her voice.
	Oh, she's going to get her voice feminine?
	Yep.
	Yep.
	I'm very impressed.
	Yeah, this is a turn.
	You have a clip?
	I do.
	I do.
	Do you regret voting for President Trump?
	I mean, isn't that what you want to ask Caitlyn Jenner?
	Who now I guess is saying that...
	Can't these guys get off this rail?
	No, it's ratings, man.
	What kind of a question is this?
	It's ratings.
	And Caitlyn Jenner has also said that she wants to run for Senate, I believe, in California.
	Do you regret voting for President Trump?
	Listen to the voice.
	I don't agree with everything he's doing, but I have always been...
	I'm older.
	I grew up in a country where you actually said the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag at school.
	And I have a...
	All right, eject those people.
	Out, out, out, out, all of you.
	I wonder if it was just spiked with Republicans or if the audience was spiked with Jenner fans.
	What do you think?
	Because that's not a normal Dimension B audience.
	No, they wouldn't.
	I don't know.
	Probably spiked.
	I think spiked.
	Some Jenner fans.
	The flag at school.
	And I have a...
	It's not a unanimous applause.
	It's about a third of the audience, maybe.
	That's more than permissible.
	I believe in the people of this nation, not government.
	And that kind of makes me on the Republican side.
	And so he was our candidate.
	I never really outwardly came out and supported him.
	I supported whoever the Republican candidate was.
	A little wishy-washy.
	But, you know, the press kind of put you there.
	And there are some things that I think he's done is very good.
	What?
	You know, this.
	If you're on the conservative side and you believe in our Constitution, I'm glad Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme Court.
	I think it's a very good decision.
	He's lowered regulations in a lot of different businesses to help business, you know, get going.
	I don't want massive regulations.
	I don't want massive taxes, especially, you know, we're the highest tax country.
	Who cares?
	Not true.
	Highest taxed corporate tax in the world.
	I'll have to look it up, but I don't know.
	Please, everybody knows this.
	It was funny.
	But she's working on the voice.
	I can hear it.
	It's not easy.
	Could you be talking like this right now if she wanted to?
	I saw John Oliver on Stephen Colbert.
	Gee, that's a shocker.
	Colbert books all his old buddies from the Daily Show like...
	It did more of them than anybody else.
	But it was two five-minute segments, two blocks, separated by a tease into the B block.
	And it was just absolutely boring.
	It was not funny.
	As you pointed out previously, it was all inside without any real explanation.
	Of course, it's all about Don Jr.
	That's what it's about and how stupid he is.
	Do you think they just don't understand?
	Because it seems self-evident.
	Yes.
	It seems self-evident when people like Trey Gowdy or the New York Post are saying, this is, yeah, this is not good.
	But again, the fact we're at a point where you go, do you think they understand?
	Is it possible there's not a logical sequence of thoughts in their minds that have made them understand the gravity of the situation they're in?
	The fact that we're wondering that, and you wonder it not just with this issue, with a lot, thinking, are they just too dumb to realise what's happening?
	And the answer is not, definitely no.
	You don't know.
	The most chilling thing about this is you actually don't know.
	That's what is making this a rollercoaster time in American history.
	Yeah.
	And if it's just, that was the funniest bit of the whole thing.
	It was boring.
	These are supposed to be comedians, these guys.
	You know, I was listening to that clip because I don't think we've played too many Colbert clips.
	I didn't realize what a high-pitched voice Colbert has.
	Only when he's excited.
	I have that too sometimes.
	Yeah.
	Oops.
	We found her.
	Little girl.
	Found her.
	Build the wall.
	Yeah, it's just, when will this end?
	When will the ratings, it'll have to be reflected in the ratings somewhere.
	You can't do the same thing over and over again, or can you, as we now find out, that Bill Nye has been nominated for an Emmy Award?
	Good.
	For that rap song?
	Yeah, for the gender thing.
	For that whole gender episode.
	How about that, huh?
	For that specific episode?
	Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
	That's the worst episode of anything ever.
	Yeah.
	Here, Bill Nye gets Emmy nomination for Sexual Spectrum episode.
	My goodness, Bill Nye saves the world.
	How about that?
	That's pretty wild.
	Go Emmys!
	Go Emmys.
	The whole thing is corrupt.
	Alright, let's go.
	So I went to...
	So we can do this.
	Yes?
	I listened to Prime Minister Question Time.
	And I got a couple clips.
	I only have three, but that's not a couple.
	So let's start with this one.
	I did not know this.
	This is like, I did not know this.
	This is the automated vehicles clip.
	And he mentions the question of automated vehicles.
	This country is a leader in automated vehicles.
	That's part of building a strong economy, and that's what this government is doing.
	Did you know this?
	No.
	That the UK is the leader?
	No.
	Automated vehicles?
	Automated vehicles.
	Let me hear that again.
	I need to hear this again.
	I mean, how can this be true?
	This makes no sense.
	And he mentions the question of automated vehicles.
	This country is a leader in automated vehicles.
	That's part of building a strong economy, and that's what this government is doing.
	Now, she doesn't say autonomous vehicles.
	She says automated vehicles, which is different.
	What's an automated vehicle?
	The door opens automatically?
	What is that supposed to mean?
	I don't know.
	Well, maybe some of our UK producers can help us out.
	Does that mean...
	Oh, I know.
	It means people with chauffeurs, of course.
	Yes, I'm sure you're the leader over there, Teresa.
	Right, yes.
	Makes nothing but sense.
	Here's another one that's kind of interesting.
	Green Party PM, not a PM, MP, stands up and asks this question, and then she's up there immediately.
	Normally she sits there, and then after the question she gets up and she looks around.
	But this time she jumped right up and she answered this question, which I was very suspicious of.
	I didn't know anything about any of this.
	This is the secret report clip.
	Thank you, Mr.
	Speaker.
	Last week, the Prime Minister refused to make public a report on the foreign funding of extremists in the UK, despite pressure from all sides of this House and beyond.
	With survivors of 9-11 last night also urging her to make this report available, will she explain if her refusal is simply because the contents of the report will embarrass the government's friends in Saudi Arabia?
	Or is it because ministers care rather more about arms sales to Riyadh than they do about public safety in Britain?
	It has absolutely nothing to do with that.
	There is certain confidential information in the report that means that it would not be appropriate to publish it, but my right-honorable friend, the Home Secretary, has made it available on a privy council basis to opposition parties.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa.
	So this is like their own 9-11 commission report that I know nothing about?
	You notice how fast she started talking.
	I think this is more like the torture report.
	Well, they say specifically about embarrassing Saudi Arabia.
	Well, the torture report...
	Oh, no, I know what this is.
	I think the UK made a deal with Saudi Arabia that they'd loosen up on them on human rights bullcrap and let them be on the Human Rights Council.
	Yeah, but then it was a quid pro quo so that the UK then had some vote on something else.
	I think that's what it's about.
	Which was, you know, obviously a dirty deal.
	Yeah.
	Obviously it was a dirty deal.
	They would release this to the public.
	But she really was...
	Yeah.
	Well, that's because she was giving people the actual information and she didn't want them to really know.
	I guess so.
	And finally, this is interesting.
	This is the...
	She comes up...
	Actually, the questioner promotes this idea.
	And this was kind of like, what?
	This is nothing...
	This is not the impression we're getting in the United States about the National Health Service.
	Thank you, Mr Speaker.
	Last week, our National Health Service was judged the best healthcare system.
	Best, safest, most affordable.
	Better than France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand.
	Too often in this house, we focus on the negatives.
	And I've heard the Labour Party attempt to weaponise...
	Will my right honourable friend, and I hope the leader of the opposition when he stands, congratulate NHS staff on their skilled dedication...
	On their skills, dedication and the hard work they have put in to achieve these high standards.
	What can I...
	Can I thank my honourable friend?
	I am very happy to stand here and to congratulate all those NHS staff who are delivering such a fantastic service and who have made the NHS once again, because this isn't the first time, once again, the number one health system in the world.
	Did she go to Donald Trump University?
	I have no idea.
	She's doing pretty good.
	Doing pretty good there.
	We're number one.
	Sorry, Theresa May.
	We're number one in everything.
	We're so good, we don't even have a health care system anymore.
	We won't even vote on it.
	Who needs it?
	So Senator Enzi of Wyoming came up before the Senate during one of those lulls where you can get a hold of the mic and you talk for five minutes.
	And he read from a book called demystifying Obamacare.
	And I have to say, and it has to do with the NHS being so good that it's kind of interesting about Medicaid being such a piece of crap.
	And I got this couple of clips of.
	Play the one Senator Enzi reading about Medicaid.
	This is the first part.
	With Medicaid expansion, there are increased costs to the states, even in those states which have accepted Medicaid expansion.
	Now he says Medicaid here, right?
	Yeah, he's talking about Medicaid.
	Explain one more time what Medicaid is versus Medicare.
	Medicare is a socialized medicine system for retired people in the United States.
	It's run by the government.
	It's like...
	It's like any single-payer operation, only it's just for people...
	It's like the NHS? It's like the NHS, yes, for people over 66 or 67.
	Oh, okay.
	Do you participate in this?
	No, you're not old enough.
	No, sorry.
	And Medicaid is considered the...
	It's a social...
	What do you call it when you fall through this?
	Social safety net.
	It's socialism, baby!
	It's a social safety net system that is set up for people who can't afford, they don't have enough income, they have no income usually, but they don't have enough income.
	It's kind of like...
	Obamacare for the real poor.
	It's for the poor people, generally speaking.
	Although they open it up for more and more, they make it easier for more people to get into it.
	And what does it exist of?
	Is it just money?
	You get money to go pay for stuff?
	No, it's a bureaucracy.
	So it's kind of like...
	I don't know.
	I've never gotten a Medicaid thing.
	I don't think people actually know how it works, quite honestly.
	75 million people are apparently on it, which is damn near...
	The whole working population?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And it's apparently the worst thing in the world.
	And I don't know what the point of this discussion is, but I just found most of this information very interesting because apparently Medicaid is terrible.
	With Medicaid expansion, there are increased costs to the states, even in those states which have accepted Medicaid expansion and increased federal funding for it.
	Other state services may have to be reduced, even in states which have not accepted Medicaid expansion.
	Medicaid is actually a safety net for the poorest and most vulnerable Americans, but expansion changes this.
	It reduces the access to care for others who are already in the system.
	The single adult, able-bodied American is competing for care with those who need the care as a safety net.
	It severely underpays doctors and hospitals and the number of Medicaid providers are declining.
	It compensates doctors an average of 50% less than the private insurance.
	By CBO estimates, by the time of full implementation of Obamacare, one out of every six hospitals will be in the red because of severe underpayment from Medicaid and Medicare.
	The Medicaid expansion does not reduce inappropriate utilization of emergency rooms.
	A recent study showed Medicaid patients utilize the emergency rooms for their routine care 40% more than those who are uninsured.
	Number one item requested at emergency rooms in Austin, Texas?
	I happen to know.
	Okay.
	Diapers.
	What?
	Yes, sir.
	Diapers.
	Number one request at the emergency room.
	Medicaid has the worst clinical outcomes compared with any other medical program.
	There are worse outcomes including conditions such as heart disease, cancer, complications from major surgery, transplants, and AIDS. These outcomes are dependent of patient factors and reflect the program itself.
	It may be no better than having no insurance at all.
	A recent study comparing Medicaid patients with those who are uninsured showed no difference in blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol levels after two years of observation.
	In short, Medicaid expansion has reduced access to care, increases cost of care, and places people within the program that has the worst possible outcomes to care.
	We did talk about this not too long ago, and I'll remind you of part of that conversation.
	When the electronic medical record system went into effect, doctors have to get this.
	It can cost up to $100,000 even for a small practice, and they were given all these grants and free money to implement the system, but they have to take 30% of their patients from Medicare, which indeed pays $7 for a visit, which is not enough for the doctor.
	No.
	So there's huge issues with this.
	And this whole scam with the electronic medical information, it's a nightmare for these doctors.
	Most of them don't like it.
	No, no, no.
	You never get a prescription anymore.
	They punch it in and you hope to God.
	Tina's still getting bills for her thyroid operation.
	Oh, now pathology.
	I'm sorry, insurance hasn't covered the check if you have cancer.
	Eh, thanks.
	Obama.
	Thanks, Obama.
	Nice.
	Let's finish this.
	Yeah, second part?
	Obamacare has increased the number of individuals insured by allowing them to participate in the existing Medicaid program.
	In order to do so, the inclusion criteria for their enrollments have changed.
	Medicaid expansion is now based on age and financial criteria.
	That includes both the able-bodied individuals who are able to work and chose not to, and those who were previously involved in the Medicaid Safety Act.
	For example, the lower-income mother with children.
	Sounds a bit like Reagan when he talks, doesn't he?
	For example.
	Didn't you think it was a little bit Reagan-esque?
	No, I'm not getting that.
	Okay.
	The lower-income mother with children.
	It was thought that the states that accepted Medicaid expansion would have, quote, free money, end quote, if they participated with the federal program.
	100% of the costs of adding new patients were picked up by the federal government, with that figure gradually being reduced to 90% of the cost starting in 2017.
	End quote.
	States, however, found that their Medicaid programs were flooded with new enrollees, many of which had met the criteria for Medicaid before the, quote, woodwork effect, end quote.
	The overall expansion of Medicaid with increasing numbers of enrollees has led to a marked increase in spending on Medicaid and marked increase in total costs for Medicaid.
	All right.
	So have you actually been following the debate and the Senate bill that failed?
	Do you have any insight to any of this or just random stuff?
	I have.
	Yeah, I've been following it to a small extent.
	It's just they can't get their act together.
	I mean, this is the...
	It's a joke, as far as I can tell.
	What is a stumbling block?
	It must be the insurance companies who are threatening to kill them or not pay for their re-election.
	I'm absolutely convinced that they've sold out to the insurance companies.
	I do have kind of a related clip, which I would really recommend everybody listen very, very carefully.
	I'm surprised that this happened.
	Well, the company that makes OxyContin has agreed to pay $20 million to Canadians who got hooked on its painkiller.
	It settles a class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of patients who were prescribed the opioid by their doctors.
	As many as 1,500 people will get paid.
	And stick around, because a little later, we're going to zero in on Portugal's opioid addiction problem.
	And look at how they managed to gain the upper hand in that fight.
	I had no idea that there was a class action suit for people who got hooked.
	Well, this is great news.
	Finally!
	Well, they need to...
	There's a lot...
	These lawsuits really do have to happen.
	Yeah.
	That's bad.
	Well, here's the story of the 10-year-old kid who just died from touching a bag of, you know, his neighbor who's littered with crap and some jerk dropped some...
	Fentanyl somewhere.
	The kid touched it and dropped dead.
	Here's the clip from it.
	Now to a tragic death that's capturing attention nationwide.
	A 10-year-old boy who may be among the youngest to die in the opioid epidemic that has killed so many.
	And tonight, authorities are still trying to figure out a mystery of how exactly he came in contact with the powerful drug that's suspected of killing him.
	NBC's Kerry Sanders has more.
	A Facebook memorial post to 10-year-old Alton Banks, the medical examiner of Miami, now waiting for toxicology tests to confirm he died after inadvertent contact with the powerful opioid fentanyl.
	I believe this may be the youngest victim of this scourge that's occurring in our community.
	What a nightmare.
	Investigators tracking Alton's final hours of life believe he had been with friends at a nearby city pool.
	Somewhere between the day camp here and the two-block walk to his house, young Alton Banks, it's believed, came into contact with something unintentionally, a drug that may have killed him.
	But he didn't die immediately.
	Neighbors say hours later they saw paramedics frantically trying to save his life.
	That's when it was pumping him, like trying to revive him back.
	The national opioid epidemic indiscriminate.
	The most recent statistics showed death rates up in a year by 72%, while deaths from the less potent drug heroin increased 20%.
	The most dangerous opioid we're finding out there, the amount roughly the same size as a grain of rice could be potentially deadly.
	That's, yeah, good news.
	We're no rice, dead.
	That's just one little topic for discussion.
	I'm very happy that this came up in a blog post or some kind of medium thing.
	But it points out something important that's happening with all the social justice warriors where neurodiversity is now coming to the forefront as it is being quelled or squashed of its free speech.
	And hold on, this fan is making a lot of noise.
	Hold on a second, let me just change this.
	Let me put the periscope up.
	Yeah.
	Okay, periscope up.
	Periscope depth.
	Periscope depth.
	Okay, that would be better.
	So I am, it turns out I fall under a definition known as neurodiversity.
	You fall under a definition of what standards are we discussing here?
	Whose definition?
	This is social justice warriors' definition.
	But more importantly, they speak of neuronormality.
	Let me just make sure I'm saying that right.
	No, neurotypicality.
	There you go.
	Neurotypicality.
	So you'd have to be cis-normative.
	Well, the issue is that there are people who have different brains, different brain functions, such as myself.
	I have Tourette's.
	So I fall under a desired neurodiversity, certainly in academia.
	But these days, this is not allowed.
	So if you come out and say something like, you know, like, pussy!
	Or anything just weird or wrong or, you know, stuff that happens, certainly when you have Tourette's or if you have different thinking, you know, like your brain is kind of normal.
	It hasn't been brainwashed.
	So now, finally, we're seeing this.
	The article's too long to really get into depth, but, you know, it references a lot of things from Harvard's speech codes and how those thwart free speech from the neurodiverse.
	And I'm thinking, yeah, we're coming into some tipping point or some convergence where people's heads will start exploding.
	Because it turns out that me, I actually have enormous privilege now within the social justice realm because I have neurodiversity.
	I have an actual brain affliction, and therefore I need to be given space when I say things that are outrageous.
	Oh, good.
	Isn't that fantastic?
	Ah, you've walked right into one.
	And I like the opening.
	I'm just going to read the opening of the article.
	Imagine a young Isaac Newton time-traveling from 1670s England to teach Harvard undergrads in 2017.
	After the time jump, Newton still has an obsessive paranoid personality with Asperger's syndrome, a bad stutter, unstable moods, and episodes of psychotic mania and depression.
	But now he's subject to Harvard's speech codes that prohibit any disrespect for the dignity of others.
	Any violations will get him in trouble with Harvard's Inquisition, known as the Office for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.
	Newton also wants to publish Philosophe Naturalis Principia Mathematica to explain the laws of motion governing the universe.
	But his literary agent explains he can't get a decent book deal until Newton builds his author platform to include at least 20,000 Twitter followers.
	I just threw that in for you.
	But it's true that the crazies, here's the ones who think different, Apple, these are the ones.
	We are the ones that need the space.
	And I'm going to start demanding it.
	You should.
	Out of neurodiversity.
	I can tell you right now, this is not going to catch on.
	Oh, damn it.
	I just don't think it's going to catch on because it doesn't fit into the trend line at all.
	Hmm.
	The trend line is really kind of You know, the Antifa is really pro-Tifa.
	I mean, they're not anti-fascist.
	They are fascist.
	And that's the way you do things.
	It's like these bills, you know, the great, you know, save the country and save the water bill, which puts a dam up or something.
	I mean, you know, you call it one thing, but it's actually something completely different.
	And Antifa, I believe, is exactly that.
	And that's those two kids...
	At the University of California, students who were actually admitted to the University of California and are students at the University of California writing, kill white people.
	Yeah.
	How is this, and they consider themselves Antifa.
	How is kill white people?
	Kill yuppies.
	Yep.
	How is that anti-fascist?
	Yeah, it's not, obviously.
	No.
	This whole group is bad.
	And just while we were talking about the value for value proposition earlier and how incredibly important advertisers are in the non-value for value world, known as the M5M, the editor, the cartoon editor-in-chief, I think it is...
	The editorial cartoonist for Farm News was fired after 23 years for publishing a cartoon where you see two farmers hanging out by a fence.
	I'm looking at it right now.
	Farmer 1 says, oh, I wish there was more profit in farming.
	Farmer 2 says, there is.
	In year 2015, the CEOs of Monsanto, DuPont, Pioneer, and John Deere combined made more money than 2,129 Iowa farmers.
	Boom.
	Fired.
	What?
	After one of the large corporations mentioned complained, the guy got fired.
	I didn't find that very funny what he wrote.
	Well, actually, I think they pulled their advertising.
	Oh, well, yeah, that's what happened.
	And they get fired.
	And that...
	Why'd they pull the advertising?
	Because of Bill's dumb cartoon.
	It wasn't funny anyway.
	Oh, that douchebag.
	Well, he's had that coming anyway.
	23 years.
	You can go find a job somewhere else.
	I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Again, I want to remind people that we do have this for two shows.
	So a lot of this is going to be lengthy.
	We've got a lot of donors.
	Two shows.
	So we're just going to start by helping or naming people.
	These are the regular donors, producers.
	Sir Snorkel, $182.73, which is actually $233.33 in Canadian dollars, which means I guess he should have been mentioned in the first part of the show.
	So we will move him to become an executive producer.
	Sorry about that, Sir Snurkle.
	He sent you a note about something.
	Thomas Hithaler in Vienna, Austria.
	$177.77.
	This also, by the way, is a German-style date of July 17, 2017.
	For the very special day, I request a wedding karma for me and my beautiful wife.
	Let me throw it in right now.
	You've got karma.
	It's a non-hipster man beard in Vienna.
	What?
	We have two Vienna-Austria donors, one after the other.
	Random number theory.
	Boy, no kidding.
	That's really random.
	$150.33.
	He has a douchebag call-out.
	And he's got a douchebag call-out for Michael Landl for never donating, even though I turned it around.
	I hit him in the mouth years ago, and he's even been to the Vienna Munich meet-ups.
	Pony-up, slave, he says.
	Yes, he does.
	I would like to go to the Vienna Munich meet-ups.
	Don't you think it'd be kind of cool?
	Yeah?
	Yeah.
	Bring your selfie stick.
	Robert Franklin, $133 flat out for out of the UK. He needs a little dedouching in Chubbs Karma.
	We'll put that at the end.
	Sir Kevin, make sure to put a dedouching on there.
	Sir Kevin Dills, Baron of Mecklenburg County, Charlotte, North Carolina, $128.64.
	Sir Stephen Woolard, $118.50.
	He's from Parts Unknown.
	Grant from Lincoln, $100.
	Christine Kodega in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, 95.
	Stephen, this is our 95 special donation.
	This is for episode, upcoming episode 950.
	Austin Wilson in Sammamish, Washington.
	Sean Davis, parts unknown.
	Sir Robert Bruckner, baronet of the desert something or other in Gilbert, Arizona.
	The desert sprawl.
	The desert sprawl.
	And sold Sir Joel Battleborn Baronet of Northern Nevada, $80.08 out of Reno.
	Boob.
	Boob.
	Anonymous, another boob.
	Anonymous, please.
	PayPal threw me overboard.
	Oh, by the way, we have to mention that again.
	This is another boob, 8008, New York City.
	We have to mention, you have to be careful because people, I think some of the newer listeners, they haven't been hounded enough to check your PayPal subscriptions because they'd kill them out of the blue for no good reason.
	They're just gone.
	And they tell you that we don't do it.
	We have never killed a subscription list.
	You've got a hold of us.
	Yes, if your credit card expires.
	Oh, by the way.
	So I was so, you know, I'm looking at the expenses.
	I'm like, I'm getting rid of the spectrum.
	I'm going to keep the internet, getting rid of all the TV stuff.
	Because I can get Google gigabit ether bits, gigas here.
	And I'm like, yeah, I want that.
	So I go online, and I guess the credit card that got turned off because it was jacked was still in my Google Payments.
	So the way they do it is you put in your address, and it says, okay, we're going to create your account and charge you $10.
	So it goes, poop, card declined.
	And so then I finally figure out how to put the new card in payments, and I link it to Google Fiber.
	By the way, are you still persona non grata with your address?
	This issue didn't come up in this particular instance, so I'm not sure.
	But yes, in Rome, when I wanted to buy tickets online from my phone for the Sistine Chapel tour, it went through Visa Verified and I got declined.
	But anyway...
	Because you live in a non-existent location.
	Exactly, because they still don't know that where I live is an actual place.
	Yeah, great, microservices.
	So anyway, so I put the new card in, it keeps getting card declined, card declined.
	So I get on the chat, and the Google customer service are dicks.
	They don't know anything.
	I think it's a robot.
	Possibly.
	But it was like, well, use a different browser, a different operating system.
	Okay.
	I even have one on a different IP, believe it or not.
	Same thing.
	Oh, it's your bank.
	They're declining you.
	No.
	And I called the bank.
	It's not even hitting our system.
	So this shit is broken and they won't even admit it.
	Like, well, you can always go to the Fiber sign-up store.
	Fiber sign-up store?
	Yeah, we got a whole store here.
	Just to sign up for Fiber?
	I guess.
	I'm going to figure it out because I can't do it on Google.
	I can't do it directly.
	And you know, that'll be broken forever.
	I guarantee you, I might not even be able to get Google Fiber because of this.
	When it's jacked, it's really jacked.
	Yes.
	We'll find out.
	All right, onward.
	Evan Henderson, a person known 8008, another boob donation, Thomas Wilkinson.

	Simon Lutzen.
	That, by the way, is a Canadian boob.
	6147 is a Canadian boob?
	They look kind of funky.
	That one sure does.
	I guess it's 80-08 in Scandinavian.
	Your boobs look weird in America.
	Simon Lutz in Steffensburg.
	Looks like someplace in Czechoslovakia.
	No, that's C-H. That's Switzerland.
	Somewhere in Switzerland.

	John Mooney, 5033.
	Rene Music, 5033.
	This is not on the list, I don't believe.
	This is Remy Brabus' 33rd birthday donation, July 19th.
	Looks like it might be here.
	Let me see.
	Yes, it's on.
	Well, it's Rene Music.
	Should be Remy Brabus.
	Remy Brabus.
	Okay.
	That's what it says.
	All right.
	Fixed.
	Fixed.
	Richard Dunn.
	5005.
	Which means something I forgot.
	By the way, this is another example of a random number.
	We ended up with a bunch of checks.
	And out of the blue is 50-05, 50-05, 50-05.
	I don't know that there was anything special we were doing.
	And here's another one.
	Richard Dunn, 50-05.
	Well, just palindrome.
	People just sending in palindromes, I guess.
	Maybe.
	It is a palindrome.
	Andrew Benz in St.
	Louis, 50-05.
	Tanya Wayman, Viscountess of New York City.
	By the way, I want to thank her.
	She sent me something extra.
	She also sent in a long note.
	But she sent me a...
	I asked for it specifically because she had one.
	Which was a $2 bill that's a U.S. note.
	I stupidly never collected one when I was younger.
	She likes the ink joy pen.
	All the best, she says.
	Okay.
	Robert Roberts in San Luis Obispo, 15005.
	And he did send a note in handwritten.
	If there's anything in here we want to read.
	Thanks for all your amazing balls work to save my sanity.
	Pretty much what he had to say.
	All right.
	I do have one long note for someone I do want to read a little bit of.
	Now, the following people are $50 donors, name and location, if we have a location.

	What do you mean the particulars?
	So the note is for later?
	You want to do the note after?
	Yeah, I'm going to do the note afterwards.
	Alright, then we have a couple of...
	Oh, okay.
	So I'll do the ceremonies and all this stuff?
	Yeah, it's my guess.
	Okay, I like your guess.
	Let me pull out some stuff here that people needed.
	I also actually...
	I thought...
	Should we do a little rain stick action for these fires everywhere?
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, hold on.
	Let me get...
	I'm eight.
	Okay.
	I think it's three shakes.
	Three shakes for the fires in Scandinavia.
	Here we go.
	This is guaranteed to work, ladies and gentlemen.
	We are professionals.
	We're not attempting to try this at home.
	We know how to handle the rain shakes made by Sherry Osborne.
	So please, please, please use them sparingly.
	We'll have rain in Austin in about three days.
	We always get a tail end of the rain karma.
	And hopefully that helps you guys out.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	It's your birthday, birthday.
	I'm going to hurt you.

	Michael Landi, anonymous, celebrates or celebrated on the 17th of July, turned 52.
	Remy Brabus, 33, on July 19th.
	Because yesterday, Stephanie Gilbert says, happy birthday to Justin Gilbert.
	And we say happy birthday to all of you from the best podcast in the universe.
	That's right.
	One title change today.
	Peter Gill now enters the peerage system.
	One level higher at itm.im slash peerage and becomes...
	I'm sorry, Sir Brian Lawson.
	That's what it is.
	Sir Brian Lawson of Douglaston, New York, becomes a baronet.
	There you go.
	That is what I meant to say.
	And we have one night in today, which is always a happy occasion.
	John, your blade?
	Oh, sorry.
	Yeah, I got it.
	Perfect.
	All right, Peter Gill.
	Come on up, my friend.
	Thank you very much for your support of the best podcast in the universe.
	You know how it works in our Value for Value model.
	You donate a total, an aggregate of $1,000 or more, and we happily bring you into the round table of the Knights and Dames, and we get all the accoutrements to go with it.
	So, I hereby pronounce the serpeg of Ellen Rose for you And, of course, the ever-effervescent mutton and mead.
	Head on over to noagentanation.com slash rings.
	Eric DeShield will hook you up, and it's good to see people tweeting that out on a regular basis.
	It means a lot to us, and we love retweeting that, so thank you very much.
	Jean-Claude, you had a note you wanted to share?
	Yeah, I've got a note here from Cassidy Eastwood, who's a French teacher, and she, in Oklahoma City, as a matter of fact, She gave us 50 bucks, but she said, I wish I could donate more today.
	You guys deserve more than I could afford in a lifetime.
	Yes, I think the show is that good.
	Thank you.
	She's doing the same thing the other, I think she's a teacher too, when they're taking a bunch of kids to Europe.
	Oh.
	And for 10 days, I'll be taking a handful of my students around France, Spain, and Monaco.
	Wow.
	And I will send the kids back to the U.S. I'll continue to talk with them.
	Well, we should hook them up with Saltzman.
	They're in Monaco.
	That would be fun.
	Take them on the boat.
	Yeah, that would be very impressive.
	Anyway, she goes on.
	She wants to call out Demolition Dave as a guy who's really hard...
	Largely responsible for a lot of the work getting people hit in the mouth correctly in the area of Oklahoma City.
	Right on.
	And she wanted to give him a karma.
	And I'm trying to get this very long note, so I'm just going to It makes me laugh because pew is the sound of a chick, a baby chick, and not a female human, that make in French.
	So the French make it...
	Oh, I see.
	In the English, it's cheap.
	Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap.
	And it's pew, pew.
	Those French chicks, man.
	French chicks.
	Anyway, we'll call it demolition, David.
	Yeah, well, how about a karma?
	There you go.
	You've got karma.
	Beautiful thing.
	You know, there still is a lot of excitement, I guess, in the dimensions regarding Senate hearings, and I guess Donald Trump Jr.
	has to go talk.
	Oh, he's going to go talk.
	He's going to go talk, and so is that other guy, that Jared character, Kushner.
	Yeah, well, doesn't he speak behind closed doors?
	I don't know.
	It's all very exciting.
	I think the whole thing is just a charade.
	Well, now, Kurt Eichenwald, is he the Newsweek guy?
	No, he's...
	He may be...
	I'll tell you who he is in a second.
	Okay.
	I'll look him up.
	Yes.
	He, yeah, it was just one of these segments.
	Let's see, where was he?
	Well, it was about Donald Trump Jr., about how, of course, how stupid he is to have tweeted his letter and, you know, that he's obviously complicit.
	And everyone kind of, kind of like Louise Mensch that you put in the newsletter.
	Very fair MSNBC New York Times.
	Okay.
	What did Louise Mench tweet?
	She said that Steve Bannon is going to be executed?
	Yeah.
	According to her sources?
	The genius incarnate said that Steve Bannon will be executed.
	She's got it on good authority.
	She's going to be executed for treason.
	She says she was sorry to report this, but she had to.
	She's very sorry because she's against the capital punishment.
	What an idiot.
	I can't wait to see that.
	Well, I can Waldenbaum.
	He's that funny-looking bald guy that shows up on NBC. He's a super Trump hater, totally dimension B. But now it's just gone.
	We've been through this many times.
	Are we at war with Russia?
	Not that I know of.
	Okay.
	Is there actually a classification for Russia?
	Is it just a hostile entity?
	Is it unfriendly dudes?
	I mean, is there an official?
	Not that I know of.
	I mean...
	I wonder.
	They call them all kinds of things.
	One reporter will say, our enemy...
	What enemy?
	We're not at war.
	They'll say arch nemesis.
	I mean, I don't know.
	It sounds like a Marvel Comics kind of thing.
	Well, I'm going to...
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	What are you supposed to call Russia?
	They are competitors is what they are, period.
	I'm just reading now.
	I just went to the State Department.
	U.S. Relations with Russia is from the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs.
	Bilateral economic relations, Russia's membership, bilateral representation.
	There's no mention of hostile nation.
	No, and they're in the WTO, if I'm not mistaken, with us.
	So, I'm just looking for a classification we can all live with.
	I mean, do you think it would just be bad actors, or what is it?
	Jerks.
	Jerks, jerks, okay, jerks.
	We're talking about...
	I'm sorry?
	That's it, Russian jerks.
	Russian jerks.
	It's just jerks.
	We're talking about a situation where it seems like nobody understands what happened.
	Certainly not Fox News.
	We had...
	We were subject to an act of war.
	An act of war, John.
	I want you to pay attention.
	An act of war.
	This was not some little computer problem.
	This act of war has been done by Russia against England, the Netherlands.
	What?
	It has been done against...
	Wait a minute.
	You know, the Netherlands, I kind of keep track of what's going on there.
	There's no mention, there was a little chatter before their most recent election, like, oh yeah, the Russians might do something.
	No.
	There's no one in the Netherlands that has said that Russia committed an act of war on their elections or anything of the like.
	Anything.
	Anything.
	I don't think that Britain would also say that the Russians committed an act of war during their most recent election.
	But Eichenwald is pretty sure that this war is being waged by Russia.
	By Russia against England, the Netherlands, it has been done against Italy, it has been done against France.
	The entire purpose our American intelligence agencies know is to drive a web and break apart the Western alliance.
	To drive a web, now he's really on drugs.
	I think he means wedge.
	Did he say drive a web?
	He said drive a web instead of wedge.
	He's no, is to drive a web and break apart the Western alliances.
	Drive my web, baby!
	Now, yes, it would be nice to talk about jobs.
	We are in a war.
	And the problem with the Trump administration and the propagandists at Fox News is they look at this only through the prism of what does it mean for Trump?
	What does it mean for the Republican Party?
	I truthfully don't care what it means for Trump.
	Because I believe that we as a nation need to be focused on what do we do about the enemy?
	What do we do to preserve American democracy?
	And if everybody gets—unfortunately, you do have the fact that Trump is a propaganda—I'm sorry, not Trump.
	Fox is a propaganda network.
	It functions off of the idea of breaking people up into teams.
	So they are aiding and abetting the enemy.
	They are aiding and abetting those people we are currently at war with.
	Wow!
	It's a technicality, but that's how you get the treason in there.
	Russians, in order to play for their team, to make it GOP versus Democrats.
	It's not.
	It is the United States of America versus people who are a country that is trying to destroy our democracy, break up the Western alliance.
	And in the process, Fox News is saying, don't worry about the Russians.
	Don't worry about the people trying to attack democracy.
	Let's attack instead the intelligence agencies giving us these conclusions.
	Let's pretend the Democrats are involved, and let's return to tax cuts.
	It's obscene, it is propaganda, and it has to stop.
	And the Republican Party...
	Which, unfortunately, Jennifer Rubin, a conservative, wrote this morning, is in opposition to reality.
	The Republican Party has to take over and decide whether or not they're going to allow the propaganda to drive democracy or whether they're going to side with America and help fight this enemy.
	There you go.
	I think we're in war.
	A couple of things I've got to mention first.
	He cites Jennifer Rubin.
	Jennifer Rubin is like some classic WAPO, she's the Washington Post, liberal, who poses as the Republican blogger.
	Oh no.
	She has never said one good thing about Trump.
	She's never said one good thing about the Republican Party.
	In fact, it is a good example.
	They're out of reality.
	Out of touch with reality.
	She is a stooge.
	She's set up with a phony towel.
	This is like, again, the Brooks and Shields debate where two guys are arguing for this from the same perspective.
	This is not...
	This is all nonsense.
	And Rubin should be given a different title.
	Yeah.
	I just love it.
	Yeah.
	It's shameless.
	It's shameless.
	And all they're doing is confusing people and scaring people.
	We're not at war with Russia.
	They're not trying to destroy the democracies of the world.
	They're trying to sell gas.
	Yeah.
	That's pretty much it in a nutshell.
	They just want to sell gas.
	You're so right.
	You're so right.
	They got a lot of gas and they want to sell it.
	They want money.
	I guess there was another one of these things, Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi up on the dais talking to the press about Trump.
	Duh.
	Listen to this.
	I would say Nancy Pelosi has been on the forefront with Maxine of impeaching the president.
	Or maybe I'm wrong.
	Maybe Pelosi hasn't done that much about She's not as nearly, I mean, Maxine and this other guy, I can't remember his name, another black guy.
	Green.
	Al Green, yeah.
	Not the singer.
	Here's Pelosi.
	Do all these inquiries that you're talking about this morning, do they need to be answered and investigated before you're ready to support impeachment, or what's it going to take for you?
	So in case you couldn't hear, she's like, hey, what has to be true before you start with impeachment?
	Okay.
	Well, the Republicans, I think the facts will be self-evident.
	Maybe they will be exculpatory of the president.
	Maybe they will not.
	But there is evidence, clear evidence, that we need to know more, and we should not close that path.
	I love it.
	There's clear evidence we need to know more.
	There's clear evidence that we need to know more.
	Yeah!
	That's great.
	And we should not close that path.
	But let me just say what I did say yesterday.
	Because I think it's really important for people to know, as my colleague Mr.
	Cicilline, we've gone into new territory this week with the Trump Jr.
	statement.
	Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, Paul Manafort, and the Trump campaign...
	And then we're finding out who else was in the room.
	This is a campaign violation soliciting, coordinating, or accepting something of value.
	Opposition research, documents and information from a foreign government or foreign national.
	Plain and simple.
	Criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States, impeding the lawful administration of a federal election, or to make an offense against the United States, cyber crimes hacking against U.S. citizens, the Clinton campaign.
	Conspiracy with respect to espionage, depending on whether information was obtained through Russian spying and the level of their awareness of the spying.
	When I say there, I mean Trump, Kushner, Manafort, etc.
	Of the spying to receive this information.
	So we need to follow the facts and what did the rest of the family know and when did they know it?
	So this is, you know, I have always been reluctant because I think impeachment is something that really...
	It has an impact on the country.
	So when the facts are clear, the law is certainly clear.
	When the facts are clear, then this Congress will make a decision in that regard.
	But I hope that the Republicans will not stand in the way of the American people getting the facts.
	When the president has clearly stated he can do whatever he wants, he's not accountable.
	Mm-hmm.
	Them fighting words about nothing.
	I like the way she's now, and I think you're going to start seeing this, using the family as if it's like a mob.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes.
	The family.
	Well, that's what Chris Matthews has been doing.
	Yeah, it's the family.
	Let me get out of the Russia thing.
	Russia? Russia?
	Russia?
	Don't worry.
	Russia? Russia?
	Russia?
	Be happy.
	Oh, come on.
	One second.
	There you go, everybody.
	Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia.
	We're at war.
	We're at war.
	It's war.
	Let me wrap my side with a little discussion of my trip to Hollywood.
	Yes.
	I went down to Hollywood and...
	Of course, it's like Silicon Valley.
	Hollywood.
	What's Hollywood?
	There is a town called Hollywood, but everything is in Burbank or Studio City.
	So I got to go for the first time, even though I'm surprised it's the first time, I got to go into Paramount Studios through that big giant gate.
	Oh, that's nice.
	You know, the big giant thing.
	Now, did you get parking on the lot?
	Yep.
	Oh, wow.
	High roller.
	Nice.
	Yeah.
	And they gave you this map, which I still have.
	They're supposed to retrieve it, but I couldn't find it to give it back to them.
	A couple of things I thought were interesting.
	I don't know if this is useful to anyone.
	It might be somebody driving by.
	I might want to know this, but I have the Wi-Fi password for the Wi-Fi Network's Paramount guest.
	But this is even the guy or the friend of mine, Luke Ryder.
	Nobody knows that the password is downsizing.
	What?
	Yeah.
	That's the password of the open Wi-Fi network at Paramount Studios?
	Yeah.
	Hey!
	Hello!
	Hello!
	Message!
	So there's a bunch of rules and stuff you have to follow, but I didn't see any of them.
	I didn't follow any of them.
	I mean, what's there to follow?
	You park and you go have lunch and you leave.
	I visited, though.
	I did visit the...
	Where did you have lunch?
	On the lot?
	In the commissary?
	Yeah, on the lot.
	We went to the commissary.
	Did you see any celebs?
	Yeah, they're all over the place.
	But...
	The commissary is kind of just almost identical to a classic Silicon Valley cafeteria.
	It looks the same.
	Got the guy making pizza.
	It's got all the same stuff.
	It's like it's only a lot smaller.
	But I went to the executive dining room to meet up with Luke, Luke writer, who is one of the producers of the blacklist, which is a show I follow.
	So we discussed some of the, you know, what I didn't like about the show.
	Did you tell the, you know, this part really sucks.
	And then the guy didn't slap you in the face.
	No, I didn't say anything sucked, but I did tell him I had issues with the storyline.
	Oh God, John, really?
	Everyone knows him.
	You know how that works.
	The guy will say, hey, that's a great meeting.
	Yeah, of course it does.
	But I got him to take me over to the writer's room and I got to meet Bokenkamp, the show's creator.
	You don't know what you're doing.
	Your podcast is no good.
	No, at that point, I'm out of that mode.
	I met the showrunner, Eisendrath, what is his name?
	Did you introduce yourself as a podcaster?
	Exactly!
	And the funny thing was, yeah, John Eisendrath and John Bogenkamp, everybody's named John, and so everybody's interested in podcasting.
	Huh.
	I mean, everybody.
	What do you do?
	What is it?
	They want to listen to the podcast.
	I figure by mentioning their names on the podcast, I'll get them to listen to it.
	And so then I went over to E! with my old producer from Tech TV, and she's the producer for E! News.
	So I got to meet Jason Kennedy and Kat Sadler.
	Oh, man.
	Brushed with greatness.
	Yeah.
	And so, who, by the way, are two very charming people and good-looking, to say the least.
	And chatted with them.
	And they do an interesting thing that I was unaware of.
	They do a live-to-tape, incremental live-to-tape, which I was, I think I may have been involved in something like this once, the incremental live-to-tape.
	It takes about three hours to do a one-hour show.
	Oh, jeez.
	But it's not posted.
	No, they do pick-ups.
	Yeah, it's all pickups.
	That's what we used to do at MTV. Yeah, so you talk, talk, talk, and then you blow it.
	It's okay.
	And you wait a while for them to queue up the pickup.
	Yeah.
	And then boom.
	Well, then they burn it, right?
	They burn back to the beginning to the segment over.
	And they say burn, I think, probably still.
	They didn't say burn to me.
	That's a burn.
	They didn't say that.
	But that's maybe a reference to, maybe that's an individual style.
	Well, when we had tapes, we were still doing tapes.
	Yeah.
	But anyway, so they back it up, and then they have floor guys and real cameramen.
	It's a real show.
	And I think it's actually pretty good.
	And they do three, two, one, and boom, they're back.
	Oh, like professionals.
	Three, two, one.
	Wow.
	Yeah, they actually do that.
	And he uses his hand to do that.
	Wow.
	Point is at you.
	So, it takes, and I, you know, I'm talking to all the group because there's a lot of long breaks.
	Why don't you just do the show live?
	They're actually considering it.
	In fact...
	There's tax benefits to it as well, I think.
	There's tax benefits to live?
	Yeah, there's some tax benefit.
	That's why live is always preferred.
	It's expensive to do, but if it makes sense for the show, if you can pull it off, there's tax benefits.
	Well, anyway, Kat Sadler, she is unbelievably beautiful.
	But we talked about this to ourselves.
	You know, there's different kinds of beauty.
	She's not as photogenic as she looks in person.
	She's very telegenic, but in person, jeez!
	The knockout.
	And hopefully she'll be listening to the show as a regular.
	She's got a lot of Twitter followers.
	I'm looking at...
	She could eat a sandwich.
	You think she's too thin?
	For my taste.
	If you saw in person, she's almost...
	How tall is she?
	Is she like 5'3"?
	I think she's 5'5".
	A big head.
	Looks like she has a big head.
	She might.
	It's good.
	It says formula for success.
	Formula for success.
	So I saw Victoria Rocano.
	We went out to dinner with a little group.
	Oh, how was Vicky?
	How was Victoria Rocano?
	Victoria Rocano's great.
	She's still working at the Trash TV? She's working at Inside Edition.
	Trash TV? Yeah.
	And she's good at it.
	Yeah, she is.
	I guess she's been in a couple of movies doing the voiceover for a TV person.
	Oh, good.
	How many kids does she have?
	18 now?
	She's got, I think, 32 kids.
	How she keeps working, I'll never know.
	I don't know how she keeps eating.
	I told her when she was eating, she said, you want that?
	She's a classic, you know, she comes and she eats everybody's food.
	She eats her own.
	She's just a guy that, I don't know what her metabolism is like, but it's, I've known her for, I don't know, 15 years and she's always been a chowhound and I've never, she's thin.
	Chowhound?
	She's a chowhound.
	Woohoo!
	I like that one.
	Anyway, so I got all my names mentioned.
	I got everybody, you know, it was fun.
	And I did learn a few things, like, from Luke.
	Do you know how you come out, if you're a show creator that goes to five years, they have this five-year thing.
	Once you get your five years and then it goes into syndication?
	Yeah.
	Five seasons.
	Five seasons.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, five seasons.
	Full seasons.
	Goes into syndication.
	That's the reason for that.
	That's when the checks just keep rolling in.
	That's beautiful.
	Well, you get your residual checks forever.
	And everybody gets a lot of money that way.
	Sometimes it's pennies after a while.
	But you know what a producer, a creator producer gets at the end of the five years and when the show goes out?
	What the net gain typically is in terms of your pocketbook?
	Probably very little money.
	$50 million?
	What?!
	Yeah.
	Damn.
	If you create a TV show that is successful and goes for the five years, you can expect that your bank account will be around $50 million.
	Well, it was nice working with you, John.
	I'm going to go start creating some shows because this is not making any headway.
	I was taken aback by that number myself.
	Damn, that's huge.
	Anyway, it was fun.
	I went to the Samuel French bookstore.
	I floated around.
	I saw Jerry Purnell and his wife.
	Did some other things.
	Here's the thing.
	I drove down, and I drove back, and I'm lucky to be alive, thanks to the roads in California, including Highway 5, which I almost broke my axle, hitting some chuck hole that was unbelievable.
	Unbelievable.
	I mean, and the roads in Los Angeles are shameful.
	And I have a clip.
	Oh!
	Okay.
	Uh...
	Yes.
	Next tonight, new developments after an apparent case of road rage in Virginia.
	A woman at her back.
	That's not the clip.
	No, I don't know.
	I don't want the clip.
	I just picked one I thought was.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's a good guess.
	Infrastructure.
	Ah, I could have guessed that one.
	A robust investment in American infrastructure.
	Our infrastructure is an embarrassment.
	We were once number one, according to the World Economic Forum.
	We're at about number 23 today in the world in the quality of our infrastructure.
	Infrastructure creates jobs.
	In the construction trades and supply and materials industry, but it also, we recognize, unleashes the resources and the creativity of the private sector.
	If you really want to grow this economy beyond the anemic 2%, which we've experienced over the past 17 years, each year, we need to invest in the growth of the economy.
	That was before Congress.
	Is that going to happen?
	Is that ever going to happen?
	They're going to have to do something.
	I mean, you're going to, you have no idea how, well, you do.
	I used to live there for a while.
	Los Angeles is terrible.
	And people drive, they're mean drivers, and they go too fast.
	And you go on some little, the 138 or whatever little freeway you're on, and next thing you know, guys are shooting by at 85 miles an hour.
	And it's just outrageous.
	And the chuck holes and the potholes on the Highway 5, because of all the trucks that are on there, they should have made the thing three lanes instead of two, and put the trucks, so the fast lane should have been only for cars, so at least you can have a smooth ride.
	It's terrible.
	I was very disappointed.
	I'm so glad that annoys you.
	Well, here's the stuff I'm working on for Sunday.
	Sarah Lacey of Pando.
	Yeah.
	I guess she unpacked really big at some Silicon Valley conference talking about men being douchebags, toxic masculinity in Silicon Valley.
	Yeah, that's her thing.
	And I saw one slide and it's all about, it's Trump's fault.
	Really, the behavior in Silicon Valley is mirroring the president's behavior.
	Yeah, because before Trump, they were great.
	They were total gents.
	So I'm working on that.
	I'm going to get a piece of video.
	And based upon an article we both saw from the, yes, it's on their website itself, the Anti-Defamation League, ADL. They have this list.
	They smeared a bunch of people.
	We have a list of people.
	And this is the white nationalists, the xenophobes, the racists, everyone who's just horrible.
	The alt-light.
	Alt-light, yes.
	And on that list, there's about 40 or 45 bloggers, podcasters.
	Diamond and Silk are mentioned.
	I didn't see them on the list.
	Yes, they're mentioned in that article.
	They're mentioned in the article.
	Right at the top, actually.
	When I saw that, and I went back, and I've been studying.
	John, these women are pros.
	This operation is professional.
	Look at their website.
	This is a pro outfit.
	Yeah.
	And we need to be paying attention to stuff like this.
	These are actresses.
	There's no doubt in my mind.
	First, I go, this is so hilarious, but it's a pro setup.
	Yeah, it's outstanding.
	Yeah.
	And I want to know who's behind it.
	I mean, does it come directly from Trump?
	I mean, they're getting paid.
	Banyan.
	I'm telling you, man, it's Banyan.
	Banyan's doing it.
	Well, it fascinates me to no end, because this is the new media propaganda, and I'm getting in deep.
	Yeah, well, good.
	All right, everybody.
	I will take a nap.
	Okay, you take a nap.
	We've got a couple of end-of-show songs from Leo Lapuke.
	We've got Matthew Herteret.
	We still have the elephant sex clips to do.
	Brian Longenecker and UKPMX, all that.

	It's very unpleasant to look at.
	I was in an outpatient clinic once I had a cyst on my back.
	It had to be cut out.
	Oh, actually, I take it back.
	I had this, I had a repeat, I had that, this is the period, I don't know what caused these, but I had a cyst on my back, it had to be cut out.
	But then I had a, before that, I had a cyst on my neck on the side, which is very unpleasant to look at.
	Yeah, kind of like a friend of some.
	That had to be cut out, and it was cut out, and it got way back.
	They didn't get to the, you know, whatever it was.
	So I had that cut out twice.
	And then it was fine now, and I haven't had one of these things since.
	And it's just like a...
	Sorry.

	I had this...
